What you say is true, and the way to solve it is a small minimal spec rather than these 5k page ones that try to describe every bit of detail. HTML4/javascript/css were eminently approachable, the problem is the loads and loads of edge case API's/etc that have been stuffed into the browser to make it a "platform" are the problem these days. The browser IMHO should have been allowed to be something you write applications in, rather than a fancy display terminal. There are no ends of technical reasons why its a bad idea, but you have a couple powerful corps that see it in their interest (because they can control it) so it happened.

As soon as you start to create "platforms" its inevitable that a single organization will monopolize it.
While this article is on sound fingerprinting it does talk about image fingerprinting, the algorithm finds "significant" points in the image and as such can still work because it looks at their positions respective to each other, which will still hold after scaling or rotating. And cropping is likely to remove content lacking such features, so it can handle that as well.

Google may just have more resources to throw at the problem. And not to forget, a few of the most-viewed pages on the internet, each of which will show you a popup suggesting that you switch to the browser that Google's sites are really made for.
What I like about whatsapp is that they don't do any bullshit. Unlike Viber, when they tried to pivot into some sort of social network for celebs and what not.
Does anyone else have an inexplicable subconscious desire for the JWST to fail catastrophically? I've been a huge fan of the project for years, but after launch my mind was constantly plagued with these urges. I can't seem to explain or get rid of it. "Call of the void", maybe?

Anyone else with this problem? I'd really like to stop thinking these horrible thoughts.
Define "use". The GPL explicitly allows internal use / modification of software, for example[1]. It's only when you sell / distribute software that includes OSS components that licenses matter.

I can do whatever I want with OSS code and I can modify consumer electronics I've bought any way I want; there is no need to be concerned with licenses and patents. Only if I want to sell my creation do patents matter.

Ask HN: Will these 15 min grocery apps ever be profitable?
I’m curious what their end game is.

It seems they’re being subsidized and won’t make sense for orders under a certain amount once they try and monetize, (E.g paying $5 to get a $0.45 onion delivered) which isn’t much different than WholeFoods or Peapod.

Could this be a case of VCs rushing in and racing for user acquisition metrics with no real long-term strategy like Clubhouse?Are they assuming total market saturation or economies of scale? What are their economics?

The whole industry seemed to come out of left field and makes no sense to me.
> and the whole blog post could have just been six lines long

The whole point of the blog posts is to explain the problem in detail, not getting some quick task done for the sake of getting it done. Just like https://jvns.ca/blog/2021/12/04/how-to-use-dig/ isn't "Use man dig" but an in-depth explanations of the features and usage.
OP might think it's funny because it appears beneficial to seek an infection despite all guidance to avoid it.
I don't think wireless charging is the end-all solution. But I find it quite nice in many situations.

For example having it at my desk is great. My phone just sits there for hours at a time and having a slow charge is great. It doesn't matter that I have to put my phone down because I am at the computer, I'm not using my phone anyways (other than maybe to take a quick photo, but a 30s break in charging isn't a problem for me).

> I'd rather have a cable and a port that's easier to put in and more resistant to wear/breakage/clogging.

I don't see how a connector and cable will be more resistant to wear/breakage/clogging than two flat surfaces.

I agree it sounds like your desk has a poor implementation. I definitely wouldn't want it raised. But I don't think that makes the technology bad in general.

At the end of the day I think it comes down to slightly easier to use in tradeoff for a slower charge and maybe easier to accidentally disconnect. However for me that is actually a favourable tradeoff for almost all of my charging.
No I agree that sums it up well - I can't think of a sentence that would sound natural (as in, sounds like a native BrE speaker said it) and have the same meaning with either one or the other.
Both is true but both reflect an underlying problem that needs to be fixed.

You should not receive order that are inhumane. And you should not have regulation set up in a way that bad behavior makes you money.
I tried listening after hearing some hype and got instantly turned off by the vocal fry; when I got over that, I realised the questions weren't up much either.
> Does every retired boomer living quite well off their 401K retirement plan represent a member of 'the investor class'?

That is an academic argument at best. Just because someone buys a Vanguard index fund with several thousand companies in it does not imply they enthusiastically approve of everything those several thousand companies are doing. This is one reason (among many) why we have laws and regulations. It is simply not practical for you and I as individuals to conduct in-depth research into each and every thing we buy.
> it's almost always a case of using the wrong sized driver

And that's why Torx is also better: it's easier to identify find the correct size of the driver needed for an in-the-wild fastener :).

And if you're expecting people to have a nice collection of PH drivers, you might as well expect them to have a collection of T drivers...
The JWST was not designed to be serviceable. It's not impossible, but it's not in the plans right now.
Teardown video is good, almost on par with something from iFixit. Maybe a bit less precise/well rehearsed but that is OK.

Also like that it's just a normal engineer doing it and not some marketing person/"advocate". Makes it seem much more relaxed and well, normal. Chill dude sporting some tats and speaking normally as he pulls something apart shouldn't be something amazing or anything but it's just such a rarity in todays carefully groomed public image machinery that we see from big companies.

its L2 point takes about a month to reach, much different orbit than Hubble which is why the flawless launch is so important and the unpacking.

No, it's speculation that Marek didn't do any of this, but that instead his account was hacked. You either responded to the wrong comment by mistake, or totally misunderstood the one you replied to.
Amazon and Google deploy their armies to thwart antitrust bills
Nothing is impossible, but L2 is much further away than humans have ever been. AFAIK, we do not have any human rated spacecraft even remotely capable of going that far (and, hopefully, coming back).
There is less coal produced electricity and less nuclear. How on earth is coal replacing nuclear? What is replacing the missing coal? Wishful thinking?

By that logic you could also make the case that nuclear replaced coal.
Its interesting to me as in the residential US you'll see 15A/20A for common outlets/lights, then 30A/40A common for large appliances, and finally 50A circuits being somewhat rare but not entirely uncommon. There's quite a range of common amperages instead of just two different common amperages. I had just kind of assumed there would be variability of amperages in Europe as well.

Thanks for sharing!

> but there are other fingerprintable bits such as the IP address (which you can't hide).

We're (collectively within privacy spaces) working on this. It's one of the reasons why I think the "VPNs are useless" debates are so disingenuous. Tor also has this problem (if you're the only person on your network connecting to Tor, that's a decent signal about things), and nobody argues that Tor is useless.

But I'll refer back to a point I've made a couple of times in the past: if you are in a boat with 5 holes on the bottom, and you want to patch those holes before the boat sinks, there is going to be a point in time where you have 2-3 holes patched and some holes are still leaking.

Figuring out a mass-market way to deal with IP addresses (hopefully using a better method than VPNs) is a real challenge. I'm encouraged by what Apple is doing with its private relay, I'm encouraged by some (not all, but some) of the work going on with P2P connections. But it's a tough problem. We don't want these systems to be opt-in or expensive, and we want to protect people from shady actors that can abuse them (see again, VPNs).

That being said, if the response is that we shouldn't care about fingerprinting because IP addresses are an unsolved problem (even though with significant work, they're not an unsolved problem, VPNs/Wireguard/etc do legitimately help here), it just seems really fatalistic and worthless to me as a perspective. Sites do fingerprinting today, they see value in it. If fingerprinting was worthless and all you needed was an agent and an IP address, sites wouldn't fingerprint; and yet they do. To me that's evidence enough that anti-fingerprinting matters, sites don't just look at the Firefox header and then call it a day and I don't think they would waste their time if the header alone gave them all the information they wanted.

More to the point, I regularly see people argue that we shouldn't be doing anything about IP addresses because fingerprinting exists, it's an extremely common argument about why relays/VPNs/Tor/DoH/ESNI don't matter. So there's a little bit of circular reasoning here; Firefox is pretty much doing the best job at anti-fingerprinting right now, but people don't care because of IP addresses. And then when you talk about IP addresses, people don't care because of fingerprinting. The reality is that you are currently on a boat with multiple holes, it is filling with water, and you need to start patching some of them.
I hate the sub-menu thing as well. Because of the way it works currently, a sub-menu doesn't auto-expand when you hover over the parent menu, you have to explicitly click on it, and same thing when you have to go back. I have to access the "Reopen all tabs" function from time to time, and I can never remember where that menu item is, so I have to click around to find it, and have to explicitly click to go back to the previous menu when I make a wrong guess.
What's Juustoleipa??

Sounds Finnish.
I understand is evil, but in my language a different word/phrase would be used, like maybe deportation/labor camps/political prisoners. I would prefer something more clear, otherwise someone mentioned that "slave labor" could be used for a job where you are threated bad and you have no actual choice to quit.
Looks very interesting. Any chance that it can be made to work with Remarkable?
I don't know which security audits you're referring to. PCI doesn't require SSO for all SAAS apps. There's no standardized HIPAA/HITECH audit at all. SOC2 is probably the primary driver for SSO adoption, and even SOC2 doesn't actually require SSO (SSO is just the easiest way to meet a bunch of SOC2 security scope requirements). SOC2 is also the price-insensitivity threshold product managers are relying on for segmenting: most sane companies don't SOC2 until they're past product-market fit and are reliably closing sales (anybody who tells you to speculatively SOC2 before then is selling you something).

Again: it's obviously an inconvenience, or the sso.tax wouldn't be super annoying. I would of course prefer it if SSO were free everywhere.

This is another comment that makes insinuations about the competence of companies that tax SSO. But you can just look at the sso.tax site and see several companies with world-class security teams, so that argument doesn't work so well.
I know what you mean; that has been a problem in the past. In case you have to again, I'd recommend looking into either Roadrunner or Swoole. That makes it possible to have your application run more or less standalone in a single container, hosted by a native application server. This boosts performance incredibly, and exposes a single HTTP port, as it should be.

For Symfony: https://github.com/k911/swoole-bundle

For Laravel: https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/octane
No, Torx isn't just used for security or torque. The builders I know use Torx for everything because it's superior in general.

The only reason it isn't more popular is it was patented until a few years ago.
Intel and most multinationals' sanitized position is going to be "slave/coerced labour" doesn't exist in their supply chain according to their (lax) audits and oversights. But they're forced to comply with US blanket sanction on the region. Because at the end of the day, a US company operates no differently than a PRC company that is completely beholden to the state security apparatus. Sorry to PRC market for being US SOE and arm of US foreign policy.

> Intel not take a position against Xinjiang

Because PRC position is coerced labour doesn't exist. It's decades old rural labour transfer programs + vocational training that pays multitudes more than regional norms and competitive with national wages is being portrayed as slave labour by US propaganda. If you want to make money in PRC, comport with PRC position or at least figure out messaging to pave over contradictions and save face. Ergo, US companies are forced to comply with US laws and holds no position on which narrative is correct.
If I had to hazard a guess:

- The HN crowd were likely burned the hardest by Mozilla's continued dumbing down of the browser (you'll reliably see complaints about how it seems like new releases always remove or move things needlessly)

- Firefox is de facto a Google project. If Google says jump, Mozilla says 'how high' because Google holds them at budgetpoint.

- Mozilla's stewardship of Firefox has been abysmal. A history of unforced errors, with a result of a completely irrelevant market share. (While paying a CEO millions to do... what, exactly?)

- Talking out of both sides of their mouth wrt. privacy (telemetry, cliqz and hiding it, etc)
It isn't designed to be serviceable, so replacement is presumably the way to go.

There is also an emerging community of vegan cheesemakers, I can recommend to at least trying to produce it that way. When producing vegan cheeaes, I learned that the flavor mostly comes from the cultures involved, and that good cheese does not need to involve animal suffering. I also enjoyed the 'food hacking' factor and inventiveness of recreating a cheese with different ingredients.

I have tried this recipe with a wine cooler mini fridge, it took about a month and was very tasty https://fullofplants.com/vegan-blue-cheese/
As others have pointed out, not in this case but in general yes - browsers do have website specific fixes for compatibility.

I love starting my car with the hand crank that extends from beneath the front bumper.
There's one context I am aware of that "rub" and "genie" go together, and I would certainly expect Google to suggest something with Aladdin pretty high. There is that song with the lyrics "I'm a genie in a bottle, you have to rub me the right way", but I expect Aladdin to overwhelm the results. Not getting Aladdin seems to be a big failure.

I tried the query in Firefox icognito, logged in, and in Safari on iOS using the cell network not my wifi, and got identical results:

1: Youtube video from the "Aladdin" movie (didn't watch, so not sure)

2: Quora question about genie not giving three wishes

3: Movie Quotes - Aladdin

4: Etsy lamp product

5: Stock photo of man hand rubbing lamp

6: Amazon product

7: Genies in popular culture - Wikipedia

8: Iconfinder result

9: Genie - Disney Wiki

This seems rather different than the poster. It's got way more commercial stuff than I'd like (but how does Google know I'm not looking to buy a stuffed lamp toy or something), but the answer to their question would be in the Wikipedia entry, I expect. It might be hard to find the original story, though, since the search term "Aladdin" is probably overwhelmed by the movie.
I think that's a more-or-less acceptable compromise for now.

Who knows, I wouldn't be surprised to see someone add on-board RAM back in to allow for cheaper expansion. Most operating systems support NUMA, this approach seems similar to that idea.
Well, considering the progress in space in reaching the moon and the arguably stagnant (except recent developments like reusable boosters) developments since then, I think it's very reasonable to be disappointed in the past years of space development.
Correction: But not low-magnetic field Tokamak. High magnetic field Tokamak are a lot smaller and could fit on a large spacecraft. They're room sized, not skyscraper sized.
Thank you! The link really should be changed to this, as it's the only working one here and it comes right from the source.
Thanks for pointing out. I was told by people that he has a PhD from MIT. I should have checked for my self.
It's unlikely anything at L2 could be serviced until we have significant infrastructure in space (like something for refuelling). Hubble orbits about 400 miles up, JWST is about 1 million miles away.
SAML libraries are still pretty unsafe. But I agree with you: the cost of actually delivering SSO features has nothing to do with why they're taxed.
The US tends to have a laissez faire approach to product safety. Rare problems are ignored unless they become newsworthy. More frequent problems are addressed through lawsuits. Regulation is applied (either new regulations or enforcement of existing ones) after the fact if problems reach a certain level of visibility or persistence.

From what I can tell, Europe has more regulations and fewer lawsuits.
Fair, but how does one claim the same object on two pages in a race-free manner?

You could allow them to be smuggled through postMessage, but then two pages would have to coordinate creation/reception of the lock.

I'd love to hear better solutions as I might be too tired pre-coffee to brainstorm something more elegant. I find it interesting that Windows effectively uses global string-named mutexes and overall still has a few very rare conflicts that usually make the news [1].

It's getting better and better, and with a predictive ML model, it can become invisible for most use cases. Unfortunately, cloud Run has an even longer startup time if you need to span more "instances" in response to spikes in traffic, so Cloud Run doesn't fix the cold start yet.

Well that's a problem. Repairability should be marketed to everyone, not just schools.
He was a highly paid advisor for the oligarch ruling Khazakhstan.

Specifically, the Khazakh leader was giving a speech in the Uk at the same time he was suppressing protests with torture and rape.

Then you're going to be disappointed by all satellites I'm afraid. They all need to do station-keeping, and have a way to maintain orientation when they spin-down their reaction wheels. "Solar-powered" thrusters use fuel too but use an electric field to accelerate it.

20 years is still a rather long time. Expect something else fragile to fail before then. And that's still double the target life time! (And unless they've made it almost maliciously difficult to add fuel, I'm sure there will be some Space Bro who'll offer to refuel it for likes / tax reasons.)
To be fair, this was a bipartisan lie we were all sold in the 1990's. Democrats and Republicans alike convinced Americans that globalization would result in everyone having better jobs in what is now known as the "creative class". As a country we bought this hook, line, and sinker and are still paying the price, and likely will be for quite some time.
Hmmm. Maybe you haven't done that from scratch recently? The deprecation of passwords for tokens is a fairly recent thing.

Try it with a fresh laptop: nothing pre-configured. Show someone new how you set up, from scratch.

You're gonna be shocked.
Of course now every pull is authenticated and they can track exactly what users are pulling from what public repositories. Before it used to be that I only really authenticated when I did a git push.

So now when using plain git the choices are to have every action tracked, or to go through a very annoying process involving randomly generated keys.

Not that they couldn't guess that information based on IP address (presuming you're not behind a university NAT or something), but removing password auth does seem like a pretty clear attempt at gathering more user data.
Thank you for chiming in. It’s great that you detected them. I’m curious how many false positives you had during that same time? Did you detect many others that just didn’t pan out to be of significance?
“A million people in a concentration camp” says US state agencies who tried to prevent the UN from investigating and Adrian Zenz commissioned by the BBC.

Let’s ask the UN what they think about China’s response to terrorism in Xinjiang after investigating.

> Faced with the grave challenge of terrorism and extremism, China has undertaken a series of counter-terrorism and deradicalization measures in Xinjiang, including setting up vocational education and training centers. Now safety and security has returned to Xinjiang and the fundamental human rights of people of all ethnic groups there are safeguarded. The past three consecutive years has seen not a single terrorist attack in Xinjiang and people there enjoy a stronger sense of happiness, fulfillment and security.

> What they saw and heard in Xinjiang completely contradicted what was reported in the media. We call on relevant countries to refrain from employing unfounded charges against China based on unconfirmed information before they visit Xinjiang.

Very, very interesting... a few quick things:

Events should be more group than single item, aka able to contain multiple note types, not just be assigned a surface or a note.

Someone already mentioned the pen -- but that is table stakes for a hand written note app.

Lastly, the canvas preview should be smooth, not 'gridded' as designed. I know that becomes a huge pain in the rear since everything has to be redrawn on the main thread... that said, these are the differences between good and great apps.
