This piece is mostly about enclaves, which are going to be little-r revolutionary.

Enclaves allow for nearly any kind of processing of an individual's data without making that data directly available to either the algorithm provider or the cloud host. The enclave's public key is provided to the data holder. Their data is encrypted, sent to the enclave, decrypted with the enclave's private key, processed in the enclave, then results are encrypted with the data holder's public key for return to the holder. Other kinds of IO generally not permitted in the enclave, preventing leakage.

A lot of ergonomic details remain to be worked out but the underlying machinery is quite interesting.
Anyone with a fiber connection available is absolutely not the target market for starlink. It is meant for rural users with few better options. In fact, dense urban or suburban areas would overload the satellites, so subscribers in those areas will need to be limited.
I'm just counteracting the implication that running a website with millions of daily users is a simple and easy thing that someone would be happy to do for fun. I don't think that's the case. Creating a game is fun. Dealing with millions of people is not fun.
Holy cow that’s half the median monthly rent in the US.
Startup Investors Cut Valuations Amid Tech Stock Rout, Dismal IPOs
You’ve most the goal posts and entire discussion. What do Palestinians especially in Gaza, have to do with Arabs as a whole? Your original comment specifically said Palestine. So the topic is Palestine and Israel only. And that’s what it was when I did my comment.

Also to note, Arab countries don’t care about Palestine. Egypt actively hurts Palestinians for example. Arab country leadership are awful.

Otherwise your comment is a diff topic and isn’t relevant to the treatment, destruction, and deaths of Palestine.

> Arabs have already wiped out all the jews from their states already in 1940s — some managed to flee to Israel, but many more were just killed.

Do you have any citation for this? I tried looking for numbers. I could not find any besides the general numbers of nearly 1M expelled from Arab countries. Especially the “many more were just killed”.
There was some discussion about sync versus async in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30170626, so I thought I'd create more complete examples.

The async version is about 30 times faster than the sync version when you set the total to a high number, the maximum is about 500. Performance tables are in the code itself. https://github.com/gabrielsroka/hn

That's why there's no FSD too, so I hear.
Not at all the same issue but vaguely relevant — I like the idea of ambiently joining some Twitter spaces without feeling obliged to contribute.

Would strike me as a decent trade off that non contributors should be able to join anonymously.

Whenever I’ve joined something in my specific area to date, I’m called on to contribute maybe half the time by the host - which is generally fine and I’m happy to, but sometimes you’re not able to… so it puts you off joining altogether.
While the market is "hot" in terms of awareness, it is still a very small market facing major technical challenges. I think AR while useful in enterprise markets (measured in the 100's of thousands a year) is a long way from being ready for the mass consumer market.

I am seeing a lot of progress in some areas and will be publishing an article later this week on them. In particular both Dispelix and Digilens have made considerable progress on the "glowing eyes" issues (Dispelix all but eliminates it). Avegant has a very nice small LCOS light engine that pairs nicely with the Dispelix waveguide.

I think the biggest problem for AR is that the expectations are very high and the physics is very tough. Many physical optical features within a few wavelengths of light were diffraction ruins everything.
Mermaid rendering is also hopefully coming to Github soon (Q1 - 2022).

Yes I'm aware that they currently use stock electron, I was referring to earlier development. Maybe like 2015 or so. Could be mistaken, I'm not sure that work was ever published.
I believe Starlink is actually designed just outside Seattle.
Why the coverage of the trucker protest should worry all Canadians
but it’s definitely more than 80 lines of code

To this old demoscener, that sounds like a challenge...
I did the same thing to someone who attacked my gf in high school. They got her with subseven which was extremely easy to remove. Rather than just erase it, I took a copy home with me and analyzed it. Running the strings command uncovered the subseven signatures.. Turns out there was tooling that allowed you to modify the binary and redistribute it. Except the binary had an ICQ address to alert him to my gf’s online presence. He also had his AIM screen name, full name and city in his profile.

So I socially engineered him by posing as a classmate. I told him I was going to come by to get the homework for English. He wasn’t sure but I somehow convinced him and got his address. I don’t know why they always talk to strangers, but just like the article the dude responded. I got my friend and we went to pay him a visit.

Rang his doorbell, “hi is this l33th4x0r?”. He nodded but had no clue who I was. I mentioned my gf’s screen name and you could see the color leave his face. He stuttered and stammered about how he was just playing and didn’t mean to cause any problems. I said some stern words then left him wondering wtf I was and what just happened.

Kinda wish I saved the details (screen name, address, etc) just because of how epic it was at the time

I graduated with a PhD in physics, working on searches for new elementary particles with the ATLAS detector at CERN's Large Hadron Collider. I have six years of experience developing in C++. I'm looking for early career software engineering opportunities, worldwide.

I'm flexible with the technology stack -- I'm very happy to learn something new. A plus (but not a requirement) would be if the position involves research engineering, applied science, finance, and/or lower-level work (e.g. C++).
> It seems I'm not the target for Starlink

No schleep. It's aimed at rural users who, if they don't get laughed at for asking someone about fiber, get a quote of "Well, for half a million up front, we'll consider starting the design plans..."
This is not a purity test or an ideological test.

It most definitely is - in that it plainly assumes that candidates are racist / sexist / binarist / faithist / shapeist / ablist / everything-ist trolls; ignorant of social issues, and completely unable to treat others with elementary respect and decency -- until and unless they swear and affirm otherwise.
That's probably a violation of the App Store Review Guidelines; you're not allowed to withdraw app functionality unrelated to notifications if a user denies notification access; Apple has various language in various places that hints at 'you can't arbitrarily take away features to compel users to opt-in' being a core intent. If you're an Apple developer, and you're willing to stake that claim with Apple, you can report it while logged in to your developer account.
Seems like they just scaled the price linearly.

Starlink originally promised as ~100Mbps for $100/mo.

This is up to 500Mbps for $500/mo.
I don't think we even really delayed them:

Think of it this way.

You get a subsidized apartment that’s fixed too 30% of your income so long as you make under 150% the federal poverty level. In 21 that was $12,880 for an individual meaning they would pay $322/mo for rent. I’m virtually every area of the country an apartment at that rent is impossible to find. Should this person really make themself homeless to earn more money doing abullshit job?

This is a welfare cliff and they’re everywhere. Healthcare, insurance, transportation, housing, food, clothing, charity, etc.
It might actually do a lot better than you and I. Remember, it's equipped with radar so it can probably see cars the next block over.

Hi, I would be interested to help a bit, as I think human trafficking is disgusting and should be stopped. Do you have a contact detail - my personal email is in my HN profile)?
Ohh ok. Got it. That seems fair. Similar to a Satellite TV antenna. I get good tv reception even in cloudy conditions. I have lost reception in very heavy rainy conditions only. So I guess the same is true for Starlink too.
No, because the tax is only on the price someone would pay for the lot.
But why not just normal Starlink?
i think most people would pay around $100/mo
I ordered my Dishy day 1 and have still not gotten it and they are already launching new services. Anyhow, this looks expensive, but for a business it's pretty cheap.

Taskbar Tweaker – Ramen Software
The city I lived in, in Italy has like twice as many people as the place I live in the US, in a slightly smaller footprint.

This is accomplished by some clever technology the Italians use: they are able to stack dwelling units on top of one another.

In many ways, it was a more pleasant place to live, since I could walk or bike to so many places.

Are they, though? (Seriously, I once looked at them, and promptly concluded that unless I wanted to give up streaming video and pulling docker images, there was no point since I'd blow through the data cap in a week or two.)
The form asks which mobile device OS you use. Where did you hear that this is only something you must book via the web?

Okay, now do it recursively for all supported record types. Oh, wait.
Yes, the arXiv started with PDF-less tex. (I believe people just compiled to postscripts files, which could be printed directly.) But when PDFs appeared, and especially as latex distributions became less standardized, there would have been a natural pressure to accept PDFs.

Public assistance? Like UBI?

By using your definition, it is BETTER if we stop giving people money. I'm pretty sure that is not the intended direction
There's no argument I'm trying to win. I've only stated my opinion.

If you hold the opinion that a 12 line for loop is heavier lifting than the underlying library doing the aforementioned things, that's your right.
So I know that currently they use electron, but I vaguely recall them working on a fork of electron to replace chromium etc. across all their products (edge, code, others?). I can't seem to find public references to it related to code, it might have been discussed more in regards to the edgehtml/chakra implementation. I may also be mixing things up, that was around 2015 I think.
I bought a house just before the financial crisis and a decade later needed to move but I was underwater. I didn’t have enough money to sell it so I rented it out.
Hard agree.

I used to respond to recruiters, "here's how much I make - if you can match that then I'd be happy to listen". Most of the time they didn't respond.

The one guy who did has found me a lot of business since. (I now own a consultancy.)
A base model iMac is $1300, or 260% the up front cost of a Starlink receiver.
I think the most HN-relevant elements of the fallacy are not about quantitative vs. qualitative.

> The McNamara Fallacy is to presume that (A) quantitative models of reality are always more accurate than other models; (B) the quantitative measurements that can be made most easily must be the most relevant; and (C) factors other than those currently being used in quantitative metrics must either not exist or not have a significant influence on success.

(A) is quant vs. qual, but (B) and (C) are about fooling yourself into thinking you're doing something useful just because you're quantitative.

And while I agree with pretty much all your commentary about the war, I think this would be a very qualitative (not quantitative) assessment on McNamara's part:

> It is not clear whether such a poll has been commissioned but McNamara probably knew what the results would be, because the US never permitted a free election in South Vietnam. Thus, faced with a simple quantitative fact against the war, the quantitative managerial McNamara ignored it and suppressed it.

I'm working on a project to develop a dispatch system for volunteer emergency couriers, aka blood bikes. They deliver samples, blood, donated breast milk and equipment between hospitals around the UK, as well as supply blood to air ambulances.

The app is meant to replace a system of pen, paper and spreadsheets that the service is mostly being run on. I've been working directly with the charities for it to best suit their needs.

It uses React, JavaSript, Material UI, Jest, Redux, Amplify and React Testing Library. Eventually I'd like to develop a React Native mobile app too.

There are some details on the issues page https://github.com/platelet-app/platelet/issues about some of the work that still needs to be done.

I have a Discord too although it's a little quiet - https://discord.gg/tWhCM98ckB

I'd be glad to hear from anyone who feels like they'd want to contribute. If you have any questions, feel free to ping me (Ducky) on Discord.
Does your latency measurement account for dropped packets? Rain-caused attenuation could cause more packets to be dropped, increasing latency if you measure it as an average over total packets sent, instead of just across packets that get delivered?
But if self-driving succeeds then there won't be enough gig-drivers ready-to-go to cover a self-driving outage.
Sure, pegging it to GDP sounds like not a bad idea.

As the nation gets more productive, everyone's effective UBI goes up.

If the real value of the UBI gets to be too high and too many people stop working in balance with automated labor, then GDP starts to decline and people start getting worse off and increasingly incentivized to find some productive work to do.

Seems like it could end up being a self balancing system.
Cryptocurrency is not currency (unit of account); we just call it that for historical reasons. It's not usable for purchases and the intent is irrelevant.
And how many people let grandma or grandpa say the absolute nastiest things in the name of "harmony".

I can assure you, the person being attacked doesn't think its very harmonious. And having even one person stand up and say "That's unacceptable" can help the mental state of that victim tremendously.

I will let most things pass until some gets targeted. Then I'm not so quiet anymore.

In addition, silence gives consent. If nobody challenges a belief, then it "becomes apparent" that everybody agrees. That may not be true, but unless a single person steps up, everybody else may stay quiet.

You only need a few vocal, motivated people willing to cow everybody into submission if nobody ever voices opposition.
Hi HN! I'm building a conversation hub to consolidate all Gmail accounts, Slack workspaces and soon LinkedIn and WhatsApp messages in one place.

When I was a graduate student at University of Chicago, I found myself constantly having to juggle between personal Gmail, work Gmail and 4 Slack workspaces. Messages sometimes slip through the cracks. The failed attempt at finding an app to consolidate all of them led me to build one.

TaCo currently supports
- unlimited Gmail account integration
- unlimited Slack workspace integration
- an NLP-driven backend to find out the important emails
- in-app reply to all platform
- workflow management (ongoing - reminded - done)

I understand that not every one shares the problem. And I'm open to any suggestion. Meanwhile, the private beta is completely free. I'll send you an onboarding email within 24 hours of your typeform sign up.
I'm interested. I lead software equity research at a global investment bank. Research work spans company-specific research, thematic research, and work related to IPO's and other advisory projects where appropriate from a regulatory perspective. Skills for this include relationship management, marketing, writing, modeling, etc. Also lots of networking.

I self-taught programming back in my teens and studied some CS in college, but my academic background is in physics/math. I'm presently self-teaching the mathematical backgrounds of machine learning.
Have you ever used night mode on your phone while driving on 60mph at night? It's basically sophisticated long exposure that won't work for driving.
On the job board, I don't see a listing for an internship.
Just throwing a few things out there:

- We have calls with grandparents regularly. My kids will say hi, but then they go play (usually on a screen so they are not too wild while we talk). Myself and my parents would love to have a game (and be willing to pay) where the grandparents and kids can play together on, say a TV, while having the phone/tablet run the video call.

- We had this problem with "low quality" games until we got a Nintendo Switch. Games aren't free/cheap like on phones, and so we have fewer. The kids focus more on a limited set of games and they're not full of ads.
Not sure about that? In a UDP based ping it's fire and forget so wouldn't repeat, so would show as packet loss not increased latency.

Unless the physical layer is using more FEC and using longer "timeslots" to get to transmit the payload. But even that seems unlikely to cause major latency increases?
Are we not concerned about Kessler syndrome anymore so that we think that hastily doubling the amount of satellites around there is a good idea?

The news came in that SpaceX rocket stage will accidentally hit the Moon and will become first billionaire made garbage/pollution there.

Are we sure we trust this company with not devastating low earth orbit due to some accidents?

And for what? For expensive mediocre internet for limited number of users in places where infrastructure is lacking? Infrastructure? You know, the thing we should build more of, that serves poor people? Those people that limited expensive mediocre toys don't serve?
Ublock will get you 99% of the way there tho unless for some reason you're stuck using chrome. Then usually brave or vivaldi will fill in the gap. Avoid chrome always.
My city of about 70k people was in the pilot program of this FTTH infrastructure upgrade in the whole country and I'm really happy I could leave my old faulty copper line behind me (tho, phone number was carried over).
I think you're wrong.

If you don't have a source, you can simply say so.

At this point, I'll simply presume as much and move on.
Maybe start again with something small or something that starts halfway through that you can see to completion. Maybe you don't have to build a sailboat to learn to sail. Maybe I am talking to myself...
Do Tokyo'ians enjoy being packed like sardines, other than the fact that they have no choice over it?
If you are going to compare income of different people, can you please indicate the geographical region you pick, and how you decided on the size?

For instance, the income distribution of people within Beverly Hills is probably pretty OK - no need to redistribute anything there!

But if you zoom out, you can look at the entire world and realize that the poorest of the USA are richer than many people around the world and should pay their welfare

Tesla did the same ,,strategy'' when it couldn't deliver the $35k car, as scaling was too optimistic: get a premium version with much higher margins and make people buy that. There are lots of people for whom $500 is worth a great internet, as it helps them deliiver work significantly more work value.

Picard: You've already given an answer to the inquiry, and that answer was a lie.

Wesley: I said the accident occurred after the loop. It did.

Picard: What you neglected to mention was that following the loop your team attempted a maneuver that was the direct cause of the crash. You told the truth up to a point. But a lie of omission is still a lie.

[....]

Picard: The first duty of every Starfleet officer is to the truth. Whether it's scientific truth, or historical truth, or personal truth. It is the guiding principle upon which Starfleet is based. If you can't find it within yourself to stand up and tell the truth about what happened you don't deserve to wear that uniform.
