May I offer a guess about you personally? From your question, I’m guessing that you’re fairly young, possibly under 30 years old. I’m only guessing this, because, as people age, they begin to see the similarities instead of the differences when looking at old photos of people. Younger people tend to react the way you do to these kinds of photos.
I guess my experience is limited. For example, maven dependencies usually specify the exact version required in the pom files. At least, on all the projects I've ever dealt with.
See? There was no need for a notch even back then!

Unfortunately I don't think that 2-5 instances of this will produce any change.

We've seen more than that number of actual malicious package takeovers in the last couple of years and it has produced basically no real change.

heck I did a talk describing this kind of attack 6 years ago and I found prior instances when researching that talk...
Yes.

And because privacy-for-commerce is morally wrong for almost all definitions of morality, then I guess privacy-for-speech is also morally wrong.
Do you have anymore info on that?

Good sources to read?
Tintype is a different technology. By the 1890s, it would have been as obsolete as rotary landline phones are today.

I think the reason is different, because even I, as a kid in the early 1980s, was taken to a photo shop for "official shots", well dressed and told to behave. It was a bit unnatural, yes. People in staged shots are generally a little stiff.
I feel you. NIMBYs always say "well let's build more density downtown" (aka away from me). But this isn't cost effective. The most cost effective is the missing middle, which can be wood construction.
Tangentially related to quines - some time ago I was wondering if a certain program can be modified so that it prints its diff with it's previous version. If possible, you can keep modifying the program this way many times. At the end, you can reconstruct the entire history of modifications by running the program and applying the diffs iteratively.

I pondered a bit on this and thought it's impossible, but still, I made this repo as a challenge:

https://github.com/ggerganov/diff-challenge

Amazingly, someone managed recently to propose a solution for the first step [0]. Not sure if a next step is possible though..

And now for something completely different: does the Liar's paradox name has a name? We know, due to the White Knight via Lewis Carroll, that e.g. the name of the song "A-sitting On A Gate" is actually "The Aged Aged Man" — are there other examples of such curious nomenclature?
Ask HN: How to incentivize customers to complete training sessions?
We’re a fairly complex SaaS and are considering building a training centre to supplement our support portal.

What are some common incentives that we can use to entice our customers to complete training sessions. I realize that offering them money is the obvious one, although I haven’t heard of anyone ever doing that.
... as a service... ;)
It helps everyone involved in fuel delivery, airport operations etc. Don't underestimate the government incentives to maintain the status quo.

If you switched this over to a tax you'd also need government programs to deal with the unemployment, lack of pilots and other ramp-up issues when this situation ends etc.
We do have knowledge about long-term effects from other coronaviruses (SARS-CoV-1 and MERS).

Despite its name, SARS-CoV-2 is not strictly a "respiratory virus". While it is spread airborne, it attacks multiple tissues besides the respiratory system, and causes multi-system dysfunction (including but not limited to MIS-C, type 1 diabetes, celiac disease, acute kidney injury, erectile dysfunction, ...). Many of the damages are immune-mediated, which is in line with what we know about T1D and celiac as autoimmune disorders.

So what stops somebody from uploading a benign image? Say, an image of the Statue of Liberty?

Will the platform propagate the hashes? Will it proceed to flag similar images found on the devices of people around the world?
As someone who has never played Minecraft except for creative mode without mods with a 6yo. Could someone explain to me what this mod does and what the concept of Robots is?

Does this enable programmable computers and programmable robots that have their own "agency" to work for you?

And on a related note: Are there other mods related to (learning) programming that can be used by kids (6-8yo)? I'm specifically looking for something to teach my daughter and it would be cool if she could do that inside a game she already knows how to control.
That is a design problem of npm and really the nodejs dev community in general.

They (you) are Blaming the dev because inherent design flaws in their development methodology.

People have been pointing out this problem with npm for years and years
I mean, I'm no scientist but the article does present it in a way that implies it can be solved by changing the problem / cheating. I mean sure, it might work if the ranks are all ranks at the same time or are in all positions at the same time, to use an overly simplified popular science take of quantum.
someone did this for a tweet as well...
More like "by painting the whole Rubik's cube with the same color". This new amazing algorithm to this previously thought impossible problem is now able to solve it in 0 moves! And no matter which move, it always gets a solution! The quantum hype train says chooo choooo

There really isn't is there? Interesting observation.

The closest thing I can think of is 1T laptop drives.

Now I know that sounds dumb decause 1T is really just a number and you might as well just say the real number instead some other number, also, why add the pointless word "laptop"?, but the point is to make the number meaningful by comparing it to something a person actually has some concept of. I have no idea what 4 petabytes means really, but I have a some idea what a gigabyte means, and from that at least a hint of what it means that my 1T laptop drive is only 20% used.

So "1T laptop drives" is actually a more meaningful unit than petabytes.

Don't bother pointing out that laptops come with different size drives, or that probably today most people don't even have a laptop but just a phone, and have no idea how much storage it has in any real undrstanding kind of way. I know, I know. Just proves your original point.

Best quality in what regard and to whom? Software in its purest form is for self expression which is exactly what he is doing. He never explicitly intended this software for commercial usage. And in a non-commercial setting his changes aren't even close to being deemed harmful.
This is typically the case with new regulations.

The cases that make the news with 100 million dollar fines to trillion dollar companies are just the ones in which the prosecution can't even reach someone at the company cause 100 million dollars is a drop in the bucket not worth looking at.

Most of the time, when somebody contacts you because of these issues, you have 30 days to comply, and if you discover that the problem is bigger than anticipated, these deadlines can be negotiated.

The point of the laws in the EU isn't to collect fines, but rather to make sure that everyone complies. You don't win much by going to trial and letting the other party explain why complying in 30 days is physically impossible.

So as long as the other party is willing to comply, the first attorney letter get things moving, and then the issue is resolved.
Be careful when citing this study as it has several severe limitations, the most significant of which is they did not control for race/ethnicity or obesity.

> "Third, the present analyses lacked information on covariates that could have affected the association between COVID-19 and incident diabetes, including prediabetes, race/ethnicity, and obesity status."

It is also important to note that correlation is not causation and this study only observes a correlation in the data set which may very well disappear after controlling for the aforementioned factors.
Hong Kong Faces Worst of Both Worlds as Omicron Ruins Covid Zero
For me, nothing worked except 1h feeding window a day. So basically I eat once a day, about 2200 - 2600 calories.

What is strange is that I can literally eat any food like pizza and it does not matter.

Before I had non-stop diarrhea, bloating, diagnosed allergies to almost every food, bad whole body eczema…

It’s not placebo since I started this diet for longevity and not for the reasons above. So when my symptoms went away I was genuinely surprised.
Makes sense given that central heating wasn't a thing yet.
Ironically, my work on my own search engine has led me to be a bit more patient with Google's problems. At least I think I understand them better. Search engines fail in weird ways.

I think in part that Google just has gotten a spectacularly confusing failure mode. If it can't find good matching contents, it starts second-guessing your query and producing other results, which makes you think it's not even considering what you entered. It may even be "better" in the sense that it's more likely to return at least something relevant, but in practice it's bad UX because it's so unintuitive what's happening. It's probably one of those unfortunate optimizations that are invisible when they work and frustrating when they don't.

There is so much stuff on the Internet it's easy to start thinking there is guaranteed to be good results for any search, and that just doesn't seem to be the case. Especially with highly specified searches with 6-8 terms, you quickly enter the domain where you're reasonably unlikely to find an exact match.
They'll probably do societal studies to determine if it helped with mating, just like how we analyze those colorful birds dancing weirdly in the forest.
> Indeed, so why is Twitter so eager to associate with some users and not others?

It doesn't matter! That's their legal right, which the first amendment (and section 230) both protect. The NYT exercises their own right to associate with some people and not others all the time, it's why Paul Krugman is published there regularly but I'm not!

> while hiding behind S230 protections for illegal speech.

Examples?

> By this logic, the NYT should just rebrand as a social media company so they can be protected from their own columnists. Libel away my friends!

As I implied above, the NYT doesn't need 230 protection because they engage in much stronger censorship than twitter does. Is that really the model you want twitter to follow?

> Whenever Twitter's called on the subtle bailey about how they vigorously ban people based upon their own corporate values, they retreat into the motte of 1st amendment free speech.

That's not a motte and bailey though. That's just how rights work. People get to exercise them, even in ways you personally dislike.

For me the question is was the new (breaking) functionality announced when the package was updated. It appears to me it was thus I find no issue.

This is different then software announcing on the next release they will include ads or even a crypto miner as part of revenue generation

As long as the change is announced then there is no ethical issues and if you as the dev or user fail to read the updates of your depencacy tree well that is a failing on your part
Indeed. Reaction so far:
Apple tries to fix a real problem botching its corporate comms badly — the Internet has a meltdown over it.

I clicked on some random reddit user a few days ago and his top comments were on some thread with a bunch of nude images from some person whos accounts were hacked, his comments were gloating about the thread being a top google hit on her name and that people at her university and prospective employers would likely find the images.

I reported the posts and the thread and reddit sent back a form letter response: "Thanks for submitting a report to the Reddit admin team. After investigating, we’ve found that the reported content doesn’t violate Reddit’s Content Policy."

The absentee management of these platforms has turned them into an attractive nuisance. Getting more reports won't address the underlying issues.
I must be missing something - I don't find Rubymine or Pycharm (or Webstorm) to possess anything that IntelliJ doesn't. I use Goland on the side, fine, but the other three seem fully-incorporated into IntelliJ.

What am I missing? I gather that at one point, they might have been ahead, but updates are fast and frequent these days.

(I say this having just shifted projects from both Rubymine and Pycharm into IntelliJ recently, having wondered what I was doing.)

If a product claims to be X and doesn’t meet the X standard, it’s not an X and it’s entirely fair to mark it failed.

Otherwise, everyone would just mark their mask however the hell they wanted, benefit in the market, and as long as they passed the MN95 standard, they’d get a passing mark on their “N95” masks.
Thankfully, most of the community has matured in the interceding decades.
What are examples of content twitter has censored that you think it should be required to carry?
Usually impossible.

It's easier to tell the customers to send the logs from the relevant timeframe and narrow down the problem. Maybe instruct them to up the log level a bit and see if the problem surfaces again.

Always log enough to see where the bug is just by looking at the logs. Getting permission to deploy a new version with additional logging might be a bit of a pain.

I think that open source developers still owe us not to maliciously run malware on our machines.

To be clear they do not owe us to produce good code, or to keep producing code, or to produce the code we want; it is remarkably close to charity giving: the developer/mantainer is donating their work/code to the community.

Just like charity you should not give poisoned gifts.

The kid that gave homeless people oreos with toothpaste filling wasn't charitably offering food to someone in need, he was maliciously offering them a "poisoned" gift.
> If the asset hosting is both immutable then you're guaranteed to always get the thing that you bought from the url your NFT points too.

You are not answering the question posed.

What do you think you are "getting"? Sure, the pointer will always be the same, and the target will always be the same, and you will always have bought that pointer from some other wallet.

Now what? Can I make other pointers to the same target? Can I make a first pointer to a target I did not create? Can I duplicate a target to a new URI and make a pointer to that and sell? Who enforces my ownership rights?

The value of contracts are the enforcability of them, not the properties of the paper. It can be a CNC cut piece of aluminum or a napkin, the contents and the signatures are what's relevant.

To connect this to main issues with NFTs (currently at least):

* A wallet ID will never change, but I could lose my wallet to someone else, thus the immutability of the signage does not guarantee the immutable connection to a person.

* NFTs (afaik) contain a tokenID, tokenURI, baseURI. I guess that can be read as "wallet X signs over this URI which contains an image of the Mona Lisa to wallet Y". Which is entirely different from explicitly stating "wallet X signs over all rights to the Mona Lisa to wallet Y".
It's not a ransomware package and drawing upon metaphors like this is poor reasoning. I suggest you read some Dijkstra on this idea of "medieval thinking."
Well the grandparent responded to a comment observing no sympathy being shown, with a comment that showed no sympathy, instead with reasoning for why it's worthwhile, and downplaying any suffering. I am not saying dexwiz was encouraging/promoting suffering of pigs, but they were ignoring the original call to express sympathy to these animals.
Of course! I wish more people would realise this.

Indeed - it really surprised me that we didn't see big ad companies saying:. "we've crunched all the data about you, and here is a list of the products you'll be wanting to buy this week. Buy them all? [Yes] [No]".

The company should be smart enough to know I only buy certain brands of dog food. It should know I need a gift for my mum (and what she likes). It knows I need new trainers but will only buy the cheapest. Etc.

The opportunity for this has pretty much closed with the era of data privacy coming in, but I think it is both surprising and a shame that this didn't happen in the last decade.
I agree that Friedman was ideologically opposed to government intervention, to some extent. That said, if you read him or watch his show he demonstrates an intellectual honesty and willingness to debate with anyone. The great tragedy with Friedman was that politicians, especially right wing, used his rhetoric selectively — which was very effective but dishonest. The world absolutely did NOT move in the direction of fiscal conservatism and small market-regulating governments, but quite the opposite. Yet people still act as if he was the puppet master of the corporatist kleptocracy we find ourselves in. It's a shame he died before the 2008 crisis, he probably turned in his grave when the bailouts happened.

> and Twitter conflating a privacy rights argument into a speech argument because it's easier for them to argue.

No, twitter is claiming that

1. The user has a right to free speech

2. The plaintiff is trying to breach the user's privacy, as a way to quash freely made speech

3. Twitter has the right to act to defend its user's privacy, even without that user

4. The plaintiff has not shown that the violation of the users privacy (a harm) is necessary.

> Agreed. And editors are liable for what they publish, which is something Twitter is claiming they aren't.

Yes, but not in the case of twitter because section 230 carves out an exception. But this isn't relevant to their argument, which is about protecting their users' privacy.
[edit] The point I was making is not that the author committed a ransomware package (or even that it is a good analogy) but that the idea there is a blanket waiver of warranties that covers whatever you wish it to by virtue that it is yours is trivially falsifiable.

Elderly care isn’t really the same as the health care industry. I don’t know the nuances well so I might be wrong about this.

Meanwhile, even for increasing salaries for nurses in the health care industry, in the USA the improved image has to have a positive profit-based motivation.
> it involves simply interviewing more minorities

Is this really possible? If some company with resources over-interviews and over-hires some minority, then necessarily won't there be other companies that would be forced to under-hire from that minority because those resources will have been removed from the (fixed size) hiring pool, where the minority is now even more underrepresented.

This only works if the hiring pool is unbounded or there's a hidden pool of that minority somewhere that wasn't taken into account when figuring out the original percentages. It can't be done by all companies, only by a few that can take more than "their minority fair share".
The "trivia" tests, when used (IMO) correctly, are not for testing whether or not the candidate recognizes the term and can regurgitate a definition. I prefer to listen to how they phrase their response to get a sense of the intuition behind the understanding of the concept as well as how it may fit in to a larger mathematical framework (i.e. their internal model for mathematical analysis).

I am not looking for someone to answer the question correctly, but to answer the question in a way that demonstrates deeper insights, which helps immensely in research settings as re-using properties of mathematical constructs in novel ways is often how theory and practice both are advanced.

I would be much less interested in someone giving a precise definition of eigenvalues than to describe them in such a way that they understand e.g. what can be deduced about an operator when one of its eigenvalues is zero.
