Never made sense to me and made me suspect that the people in charge didn't understand the value of their own platform.

YouTube isn't competing with Netflix/Disney+/etc, they are the ones competing with YouTube and the idea of infinite hyper specialized crowdsourced content which is most personal and intimate than anything they could ever offer.

Makes perfect sense to kill it.
The biggest problem with most of the 360 videos on YT is their resolution. They have to be a certain minimum otherwise it looks horrible, like not just bad, but horrible and not watchable on a VR headset.

I've only found one great video so far, and it is unbelievable.

I would pay money for great 360 content like that.

It's not just subtitles - it's all the login information stored there as well. Email addresses to send spam to, passwords that have likely been reused on another site.
Well 180 is every currency, so you’ll have every single currency but only 1 pair for each currency except a select few with more?

50 of those currencies are fixed exchange rate so there’s not much point in an API. To be completely blunt it sounds like you just Googled how many currencies exist and said you’ll support them all.
Don’t forget that this isn’t used by just individuals—businesses use it too to share credentials for things like the corporate Twitter account, internal systems, etc. I’m willing to bet that further investment there could help back up that valuation.
It's similar to vandalism. To keep kids from messing around other places we lock the gate etc. These software systems are not locked.

Expect curious kids to try lots of things and push the limits. They do it all the time. In the overwhelming number of kids it does not lead to a life of crime.

My takeaway: Time to lock the gates.
AutoHotKey and Pulover's Macro Creator[1] (which spits out AHK scrips from mouse and keyboard input) can do a similar job in a windows environment, and can trivially click on UI elements on the screen via PixelSearch. It runs lightning fast too, and is simple to learn.

I've used it to automate simple web games for shits and giggles.

It's wrong to see it as power consumption per transaction. The power used is to secure the monetary network. So for VISA you would have to factor in all their offices, running systems, employees, security etc. used to secure their financial network.
I would love to know how that works. I was so not able to select an option to enter a different vault url.

I can confirm this is the case in Austria. However, my experience is mostly using a computerised system via the company Intranet. There's an option to use an access card and touch it to a login pad at the office entrance, but I can also work from home, logging the time via the Intranet based system. I don't get paid overtime, but I do receive time off in lieu of excess hours worked.
I frequently wonder what sort of tracking, if any, is happening via fonts.google.com and gstatic.com which are used widely across the web. Many sites break if you block resources from gstatic.com, as they depend on javascript libraries from it.

The shortsightedness of using remote static assets on your own site is amazing to me.

I hardly think a once a decade census is "constantly reminding people of their racial catagory". From my experience, it would be the rascists doing the constant reminding, and not just the cross burning kinds. I've met all kinds of rascists.

Every one of my very white looking kids has fielded questions about that dark hispanic guy hanging around, or knocking on the door to pick them up. They've also been privy to rascist discussion that they've later shared with me, since people don't see them as non-white.

Heck, I didn't see myself as non-white until I moved to a rural school in the early 90's.
Mass Effect Andromeda was a disaster. Months after release Bioware Montreal was eliminated as a separate entity. They weren't even allowed to make already planned DLCs. It became a meme because of poor quality. And a lot of blame can be put on Frostbite.

Inquisition's development was a disaster due to poor tools. Pax 2013 demo, for example, was faked because no one knew what gameplay would look like(A YEAR BEFORE RELEASE), and it was mostly caused by missing engine systems. Game turned out to be OK though.

>how do taxpayers feel about funding mDLs only for the Apple Wallet?

I wonder how taxpayers feel about funding electric mail vehicles only for the vehicle oshkosh?

I wonder how taxpayers feel about funding payroll databases only for the company Oracle?

I wonder how taxpayers feel about funding bus engines only for the company GM?

This like presents a completely normal government function as something nefarious. Apple isn’t the first private company to win a government contract.
Migrate to Bitwarden. I owned a 1 password 6 license and hung onto it for dear life until last year. I technically had a 1 password subscription from work, and when that ended last year, my password experience hit a brick wall. I couldn’t add passwords from Windows. My Mac client refused to work, I had to uninstall multiple times and delete a data directory to erase any sign that 1 password subscription was on the system.

I’m so glad I made the switch now. No pestering pop ups, equally usable on windows and Mac and iOS.

This isn't sustainable financing -- it's growth financing that they will eventually need profitability to make good on the investment (or drive them into the ground). I also use 1password at work and home, and I'd rather they figure out how to operate profitably without the VC-necessitated hypergrowth.
So correct but also post-2008 underrepresented founders need profits more than ever because they don't fit the narrative, applications like Canva being female-led and Calendly having a black male CEO are examples.

Barton George, Dell
>"white" as a claim of culture or heritage, only exists in the context of white supremacy. The concept of "whiteness" was invented during the days of the slave trade as a means of establishing racial classification and hierarchy - to contrast the superior "white" race with inferior "non-white" races

Isn't black exactly the same thing? A completely madeup racial category invented by white slavers to conveniently deny a group their humanity? And isn't it further possible that, after these racial groups were invented, actually real cultural identities began forming around them to the point where the invented categories had reified into something kinda real?

If it pushes all companies to be clear about their potential GDPR issues, I'm all for it. Let them compete on ease of compliance.

As it is, it's very difficult to tell if something you're using is gathering data that you don't intend to gather (e.g. your hosting provider logging IP addresses for your hand-coded blogging software). I don't want to have even the tiniest possibility of being on the receiving end of one of those theoretically huge GDPR fines just by self-publishing some code and putting it on the internet.
> I am a developer, Do I need this API?
No, if you can build your own rendering system with all these features and able to make it run this fast. You don't need this API.

No, it doesn't say this.
> For an adjacent example, LastPass never took a dime of VC money (afaict), but their structure as a for-profit company pushed them to lock down their product and charge rents, where they had not previously. If they had taken VC money or went public instead, it may have delayed the inevitable, but it only would have been a delay, not a solution.

I do not understand. It's a business. Why would anyone expect important services to be free? during ramp up there's a benefit of providing free or discounted services while you grow, learn what users want, estimate your own costs, etc; It was a free ride and you can enjoy it while it lasts. Why would anyone expect a free ride to also last forever?

In my opinion great products need a strong balance of capital and ideals. Capital incentives unchecked by a counter balance of leadership actually believing in the mission of the company can lead to bad outcomes. Pure idealism without adequate funding has another set of problems though.

The Doomsday clock is, in my opinion, a concept so ridiculously abstract that it is essentially nothing but useless fearmongering. Moreover, as far as I can tell it is yet another thing that has been corrupted by our modern hysterical politics.

Apparently, right now is the closest humanity has EVER been to midnight. We are right now closer to destruction than we were during the Cuban Missile Crisis, or the end of the Cold War, or the Korean war where US troops were literally fighting against Chinese troops. Why are we in so much danger? Oh, because of Trump, fake news, and the "erosion of the existing international order". What a bunch of ridiculous nonsense.
Also well done.

620M is too much for a password manager, so we can safely assume it is no longer one.
Heh, good luck. Large corporations with much more incentive to “lock the gates” seem to be unable or unwilling to do so.
Same thing with email. Everyone COULD run their own email server but it's pretty clear most people don't want to. We also see it with tech companies running their own servers. Again they COULD runt heir own hardware (and some do) but it's pretty clear most companies don't want to. There are decades of examples of where people could run something themselves and having very strong preferences for using a centralized and more user friendly alternative. I don't know why we'd expect it to be any different here.
>The full resolution image is here...

Thanks. I looked in vain for a link in the article. Gotta love it when articles discuss something but don't actually bother to link to what they're talking about. It's almost like they've forgotten what the H in HTML stands for.

BTW -I'm not sure it's the full res image. A scientist quoted in the article says the original is 2GB worth. That download is a mere 24,7MB. It's still pretty hi res though.

Can this be done in Pure JS solution within browser? Why need backend?
> That was mostly a single large file downloaded over http, so not super hard to tweak anyway

Well, my point is that most servers don't just download single large files over HTTP. Even if you only look at storage servers, going into multiple files and connections you can easily find issues and have downgraded performance if you don't prepare the system for the workload.
Firebird 6502 Computer
It's not news that Google killed a product, or that any big tech company killed an unsuccessful new division after a few years of trial-and-mostly-error.

What's news is Google's hitrate at developing new divisions into successful lines of business. It must be a small fraction of that of Amazon's hit rate.

Google's largest successes have been acquisitions, too. Amazon seems to have developed a lot of huge businesses internally, from scratch.
If the firm was billing his time, he'd have to create a billing log. You generally can't get away with billing for IT. But you can bill for "litigation support" which is the intersection of IT and litigation. Though its much more involved than just uploading files to an FTP.
I thought I'd never needed 10GbE until I tried to copy couple of large VMs from one a server to a new one. Once I upgraded, I realized that my ISP provided bandwidth was actually 1.2 gb/s instead of the 1 gb. Somehow the default 1gbps port was the restricting factor.
It can be, yes.
What kind of engineering? Civil, electronics, aerospace, software, mechanical(watch)?
how to value IT work-- yup
I wouldn't assume the phrase is casting a value judgement.

I hear the phrase from time to time in aviation. "Have to sell the first plane" / "Doesn't pass the WAF" / "Wife thinks owning two planes it too expensive." I have no reason to believe these folks are not in a loving relationship.

Nothing to do with intelligence.

I agree it's nice, but Helix's default LSP for Python is unusably slow, having used pyright with Vim/Emacs/VS Code. I tried setting up the pyright language server to work with Helix, but could not get it to work. It will be much more usable once there's better documentation.

For those of us are were of age when the internet and (later) big-data became a thing, we can only applaud the work of so many smart people. We see engineering plus entrepreneurship at its best. The varied inversion, however, of who has the majority control of an object or service post-purchase has lately gone to the provider not customer. Folks, that's a problem. We've seen this,

- here

- John Deer self-fix stories

- Apple store stories (and Android/Google variations)

- Several flavors of techs at places like best buy quivering in their boots at an Apple fix. Techs keep blabbering on about Apple repair policy and what they cannot do. I finally had to tell the guy: Start telling me what you can do, or I'll talk to somebody else. All I asked for was if they have a screw driver to take the bottom plate off, which I later got off Amazon.

- General issues of privacy

We gotta get back to customer satisfaction. Eventually --- not as quick as we might prefer --- customers will realize they have the stronger position and use it. Indeed, if I plunk down money for an object, my assessment counts. I do not accept some paper pusher a large-corp-America gainsaying that.
Except you just told the whole world and just like the fools that are bragging about their "overwork" on reddit, they're doing so against their own interests. These kinds of things end up on the front page of the BBC under the "work life" section which your boss may inevitably see, then get a wild idea that his/her employees must be doing the same, and start a crusade to end it. Pro tip: if something is meant to be kept a secret, don't spread it online. This goes for job automation, multiple jobs, favorite camping spots, etc.
What business do you have writing if you believe that "No one wants to read"?

Personally I read obsessively, probably with some elements of a behavioral addiction. I have to limit how much I can read because if I take in information faster than I can consolidate memories my mental health deteriorates, I get anxious, and my sympathetic tone increases. I even have to limit particular kinds of reading material because of the emotional effects of the content, even if I am intensely or desperately interested in the content.
Productive is a meaningless word in this context. You can productively work for or against the best interests of society at large.

Bitwarden is free for individuals and couples. So, it's free user-friendly (WAF!!) wise [0] in comparison to 1pass [1]. But much more important thing is the fact that bitwarden is open source and 1pass not. Closed source is deal-breaker for me.

A court effectively ruling that he was Satoshi and a fork made to award him coins was the "original" Bitcoin and possibly even ruling other forks violate his "IP" would make it much easier for him to dump those coins on speculators though.

Ask HN: OOP in Functional Programming Language
I find that my ruby code more and more resembles functional programming:

Instance variables are always set in the constructor, and almost never mutated.

The thing I like about OOP is really just that the methods of an object don't have to take a bunch of parameters, but that it instead can rely on the instance variables. I guess in functional programming, this would be something like having a (constructor) function that returns a hash of methods that have been given what in OOP would be instance variables as their first parameters, and then only need non-instance variables through currying. My question is, is there a functional programming language that not only supports, but `encourages` this OOP style programming?
Pretty typical for people here to be zoomed-in on the b2c side of a business because that's what they use, and fail to see the b2b side, the underwater mass of the iceberg.
Imperfect analogies so please read between the lines....: Take a finance team, you have a group of specialists who don't really know what each other do, FP&A vs BM&A or Investor relations. However, they don't need to know what each other do because they can trust the person next to them to say, hey.. payroll is now automated, I have extra time now, what should I work on to improve things, is it fair to take advantage of that in a team simply because one person isn't an expert? If you know someones job is to do something, say.. buy servers, but you know they don't know anything about servers, only how to finance them, should you exploit that for your self gain? If there is a person who's job it is to optimize, but the system is obfuscated, is that fair to the team? OP said it's win win, that is intellectually dishonest, it is not win win. that's my real point.
If I may chime in, and sorry for acting like an annoying dude, but I also really dislike the term WAF. Of course the term makes sense if we look at IT and the world historically, but I don't get why in 2021 we still have to act like wives are tech illiterate by default, and also, what about women in IT who have tech illiterate husbands.

> it's actually a funny story here. If you look at specifics, most of those things (like 8 hour workday and so on) were getting to be standard practice in the industry before they were regulated.

The general political climate in which this was allowed to occur happened after many socialists political parties became recognized (or threatened with revolutionary action).
