It's true that FDR was left-wing, that he expressed admiration for Mussolini, that Stalin persecuted Trotsky and his followers, and that for 22 months the USSR and Germany were invading other countries instead of fighting each other.

The rest of your comment is Holocaust-denialist-level pseudohistory, as is obvious to anyone who reads literally anything from the time period or anything about it by real researchers or talks to anyone who lived through it.
Sure, but that's also why that specific car was equipped with a radar-based obstacle detection.....which the company specifically disabled. There's a very good chance that this system would have saved that person's life. Also while yes, humans are crap at this, it's very rare that you'd just plow into someone at full speed without even attempting to slow down or swerve - which is exactly what the car did.
> None of the Workspace data you provide is ever used outside of Workspace, nor is it used for any other purpose than for the benefit of you and your users

As recent court finding revealed this is most likely a lie, and even Googlers themselves don't know how to turn off pervasive tracking across apps.

If that setting was off it must remain off even if you "change product boundaries". Is this such a hard concept to understand?
I have used the 2.8 "upgrade" but it was still a pain and things were much faster and easier to do in 3Ds max. Blender relies too much on shortcuts. With 3D max you can do almost everything with just the mouse and in blender that is not the case. I have used 3D max, Maya, XSI, Houdini, Modo, Unity, Unreal Engine 3/4/5 and all of these seemed intuitive and I never felt frustrated by them unlike blender. At this point I would rather play Autodesk than use blender for free which is sad.
This is great! Previous HN discussion on him becoming a minister: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29540771
Ask HN: Is it possible for computer to turn on/off fast?
I want a computer for writing purposes only. No network, no multimedia, no GUI - just a screen, a keyboard, some OS and vim/emacs. What is the fastest time in theory and in practice, from pressing the power button to becoming able to type? What time-consumable operations are required to be done during the startup time? I do not want to sound like a luddite, but seems like any computer sucks to any typewriter in this metrique.

So, what computer is kind of second-best? Please do not ask me just not to turn off the power, because energy is never free.
Exploring how hidden biases in medical data could compromise AI approaches
In these cases, as long as the victims are as anonymous to the perpetrators as vice versa, there’s actual protection. And it’s the metaverse, so there’s no physical harm in it. Just don’t expect “psychological safety”.

Overall, you may be right. But it’s another two-edged sword lying around.
> According to Transparency International, Singapore is one of the least corrupt countries.

Note this ranking is based on "perception of corruption". Given that Singapore is a one-party state with extremely little press independence (https://theindependent.sg/singapore-in-bottom-20-countries-i...), citizens would be less likely to hear of any major corruption that occurred as the media wouldn't report it.

As an example, PM Lee's wife was CEO of Temasek, the national investment company, for many years. Consider, of all the five million plus people in Singapore, what is the probability that the prime minister's wife just happens to be the most qualified of anybody in the country to manage the country's money?

People who have very low paying jobs and very unhappy about it, they know programmers earn well ("high prestige", in your words), and they try. But for some reason, they just fail and they can't to anything about it. I've seen it many times, when diligent dedicated people just can't.
You mean the metric hog that can only be turned off with a recompile? No, thanks.

Wsl, the barely usable product with breaking bugs, such as simple disk io, until wsl2 came to improve _some_ of the features? Nah.

The most detrimental change to IT, containers, still depends on hyper-v for networking in the latest version and can only build for the same kernel.

Cheap PR for garbage products to try and push PC monopoly.
Current game AI seems to love their decision trees, and I'm thinking more along the lines of how can you mix a few bandits into that tree or how to manually discretize the environment into a small table (not 1000+ states). I don't think games are going to give up their decision trees, but they might be able to mix in some simple machine learning techniques that make the AI somewhat adaptive.
> I am just saying you are regular busybody fucking asshole

I strongly believe this actually is language that goes against the CoC here on HN.

I think it would have had merit to reasonable talk about different points of view on the story, but any credibility goes down the drain in my book once people start not only to ad hominem others, but resort to language like you used.

Sad, as it could have been an interesting discussion to follow.
Quite the opposite - I'm not sure how many eminent mathematicians have the background to have gone far in politics.

The early pandemic outlined how many politicians lacked even the ability to reason about exponentials (let alone scientific thinking!) I am very glad that there is at least SOME representation of great thinkers amongst our leader-class
> Does it mean that the same blocking bug could happen while browse a local website on an air-gapped network?

If you're making an HTTP/3.0 request formed "correctly" then yes, it too would cause the infinite loop. It's not in any way specific to the internal service.
I ready something about a tiny wifi chip recently too .. I'm really amazed we're getting close to that level of technology so quickly!

> Oughta start taking bets on how long until this makes its way into Waze

Waze is already serving very aggressive modal-type ads mid-navigation.

I got a pop-up for a car repair shop 20 minutes out of my way, _mid-navigation_ with a big "add to route" option. Could not swipe it away, had to press a small 'x' button to close the ad. All this while driving and trying to figure out which way I should go the next intersection.
For the most part, code is, indeed, easy. For you or for me. But some people just can't. I've stopped trying to understand, and just accept is as a fact.

Ah, great, thanks for that. One would expect URLs to be able to be used for locating resources uniquely on the web, but maybe that expectation is too much today.

Edit: That link you put misses the context of the directory you're in (unless I'm missing something else unintuitive again), for some reason. Seems the UX of Drive is essentially broken for files living inside directories.

Thanks for having me on the podcast, Adam! You asked about some things I had never talked about before, and I really appreciate getting nudged outside my comfort zone! :^)
If taxicabs can function in the evenings during low demand hours then we can replace those with these robocabs. In Tokyo that's the case as well for when after the busses and trains stop running.

In terms of subsidization, we've had enough problems in the US from the US picking winners with the interstate highway system to the detriment of railway. They shouldn't subsidize anything and let the market handle things. There will be a small demand for robocabs but most will still want to own a car, if they want a car at all.
that all depends on the contract setup with the company and recruiter. i've worked at places that had exclusivity contracts with recruiters where we wouldn't even post the positions in hr until the contract expired.
It'd be nice if the feature included a way to disable notifications per site though. I never allow notifications from a website, ever (or any app on my phone), fwiw.
Nice work!

With enough determination, anything can be a one liner in bash. /joke
This is great advice. I never really thought of it this way, but that's exactly what I do, too.

I recently did this for running processes in .NET (to automate starting ESBuild's watch mode when my ASP.NET Core project starts), and now I'm doing it with yt-dlp to get YouTube links rendering in my VR app at work (which is serendipitously much easier now that I have all this process management code).
O, someone wrote down my thoughts :D

Since few years I hate using Internet, with every year I using it less and less.
We felt a bit guilty taking some of the money from the handout, until we saw how much more all the companies around us took. It all got snatched up as quick as companies could adjust their numbers to qualify.

While we were affected by a reduction in orders at beginning of the pandemic , we would have survived without layoffs anyway. But we decided to take the money and hold on to it in case the situation got worse. Now we’re sitting on a pot of gold that is supposed to help our workers from losing their jobs, but our current biggest labor issue is short staffing.
So baby duck syndrome and you rather use the bike without the seat? Good luck with that after any amount of time/distance.

The other programs have lasted decades and have been used to make thousands of movies and games for good reason. Because they work very well with the minimal friction and have PROVEN reliability.
This is as far from the truth as mrjangles's comments.

- circles from Google

- combined pictures ( haven't seen this one and is a must!)

I'm downloading.

But - Say hello to @God ( God, i really hope i can change the handle later on) = No forbidden username list probably.

> Even worse are image results.

> The problem is that search engine results – especially on mobile – are not how you find that any longer.

I think the biggest story of the web in the last decade is the slow but steady decline of Google.

Google has fallen victim to spam. Goodhart's Law wins in the end. Almost every site on Google's front page is there because people have spent a lot of time and money optimizing it for search engine ranking. But just because a page is good at gaming Google's algorithm does not mean it is the most useful anymore. Google put up a good fight, but it seems like they have finally lost.

It also seems like the company has lost it's way. I was recently using Yandex mobile browser to browse some Russian sites and it can translate text inside images and now even voice inside videos. Chrome on the other hand often fails to detect other languages and therefore does not translate even text. It feels like even 15 years ago (when I was becoming a Google fanboy, I have since grown out of it) I would have expected Google to get there before some obscure Russian company. I get it, Russian web is smaller than English web and therefore it is probably more useful for Yandex, but Google's revenues are many times that of Yandex, they should ideally be getting there by now.
How do you define capitalism? I assume it's not 'people having voluntary economic interactions with one another' because that would seem a little redundant.
Nice. Seems like it includes lots of improvements for OOXML compatibility.
Adding on in this vein: I'm curious if the late Presidential hopeful Ross Perot wrote any noteworthy software, or if his role in tech was only that of a salesman. He's another case of not winning the races for elected office, but 18.9% of the popular vote in 1992 and a fortune of approximately $4 billion in 2019 is nothing to sneeze at.
Thanks for all these comments, all noted. You're right, a demo would be nice and also super simple to do.

Also a great point, as mentioned in the OP, I've been off social media for some time because I hated them. So bar the standard stuff of onboarding, posting a piece of content etc. We've pushed to do the exact opposite of a normal social media app. Some examples:

- You must add someone to a Circle to see them in your feed, and share to them.
- Reactions and comments are only shown between mutual contacts. So if you're viewing a post
- Names and Posts are encrypted at rest, and we don't ask/take any data we don't need. We want to push this further in time but our intent is that we actively eschew collecting specific data about individuals, so don't have incentive to make the app driven by ads/addictive features.

Google+ was interesting but ultimately was just Facebook with more friction (eg. connect with as many things and people as possible). We're using the Circles concept to target the inner parts of your network, rather than everyone. Still a WIP, though!

Also good feedback, we focused on mobile because of limited resource but a web option would be great. Is there a specific reason it's a no go for social apps?
Not sure how Firefox code is structured but it is weird that a particular HTTP3 request would hang the entire network stack and you cannot perform any HTTP 2/1 requests.
I'm more than happy to pay for content. I support creators even though I know it's a crappy deal since all I get for my money is a worthless license which puts me at their mercy since I own nothing.

I will absolutely not tolerate ads of any kind and if their business model is ads I would rather see them go bankrupt than put up with it.

You really want to misunderstand, do you? I am not considering myself a Jew. But others would, most importantly those with prejudice against Jews.
I can only assume that the majority of people like a) rewatching things they’ve already seen, b) like watching things they said they don’t like, and c) watch things from categories they don’t like.

Because that’s what Netflix has been doing to me pretty much since they became a streaming service.
That's self recursion (Lisp has a low-level Go To as a building block).

I think we'll see major players leaving this industry soon. Self-driving will be a war of attrition and thus cannot be won by US companies with their insane burnrate. Europe has just as competent engineers making a tenth of their US counterparts. If I was a VC I would be head over heels investing in EU self-driving tech. They are the 'cockroaches' of this tech who will survive.
I can't imagine e.g. Waymo bankrolling tens of millions of dollars in payroll for years to come.

Does the "Page 4" thing refer to the few paragraphs at the end of the article? Because here's the thing. The cool, electic web circa 1996 was maybe X in size. Chances are that kind of web content is still here, possibly even 10X in size. It's just drowned out by 990X more of junk. If the search engines can't filter the good stuff from the junk, you have to go back to the pre-search-engine days. Lists of links, web rings and so on. They never went away. They're as eclectic as ever.

Only problem is we've been spoiled by the thought that ALL information is on the web. And a lot of it is buried in the junky, spammy 990X part. I don't like having to watch an ad-riddled Youtube video for a simple thing like where did they hide the last screw you need to remove. But at least the information is there if I need it badly enough.

I also don't like to wade through the "sign up for Amazon Prime" dark patterns. But I do like being able to order a gadget for a good price and reasonably soon delivery.
Oh I wish I could see your lab operate :)
>I will never understand rich people making money hand-over-fist and still willing to take money from taxpayers who make a fraction of what they do so they can have even more

The two are correlated because our economic system rewards that very cut throat greedy behavior. Those behaviors mixed with some luck and skill are often how those very people became rich in the first place.
This is a good description of how I see it.

There's also the social signalling effect, right. Imagine that you think that the (made up) Yellow Party are arseholes. They pass a law that makes it a legal requirement to wear the little yellow pin badge. Their reasoning is that advertising their presence is a good thing, because they stand for good in the world, and so by wearing their pin society improves as more people learn and are reminded they exist.

Is it a huge imposition? No, it's trivial. You won't _physically_ notice it.

But if you think the Yellows are wrong, then wearing a little badge is really going to piss you off. At best you might try to make parody of it - maybe you'll write "I hate Yellows" with the little yellow badge and wear that.

Masks are like that. If you don't want to wear one for whatever reason, you're going to resent being forced.

I make an active point of not wearing a mask because I think everyone is going to get coronavirus and that "slowing the spread" is no longer a meaningful concept. It's already spread, it's everywhere, almost everyone I know has had it and if that's too anecdotal you can look at the UK stats.
I have both - well, I believe I do, as I've never had APD diagnosed. But I agree they are extremely different.

I actually really enjoy the sound of a crowded room. I used to be a DJ and party organizer and a room full of happy people is a peaceful and delightful sound to me ( much unlike mouth sounds, and pouring liquids and plenty others ).

Still, picking out a single voice from a crowd is incredibly difficult for me. That wasn't always the case. I believe it started in my late 20s, which is interesting because I'd noticed around then that crowded rooms started to sound different for me. The hum of the room was more distinct.

My wife has a very distinct voice that I can easily pick out in a crowd and I sometimes wonder if that was an unknown part of the initial attraction. At the very least we can still go out and have a conversation in loud public places, which is something I can't do very well with many other people.
I would never want to host or be responsible for a WP site just because of the security vulnerabilities and potential for abuse (it could start serving spam/malware/etc), but especially not under my/my company's domain and put my reputation and users on the line.
So in your opinion it was the companies fault that they didn't purposely leave a competitive advantage on the table while their competition surely utilized it?

It seems that you judge from a place of detached ignorance. We are going through a pandemic and that business owner may very well be worried the bottom will fall out any moment and if that owner has employees it is their responsibility to prepare as much as possible during times of uncertainty.

I find it unethical that you would judge the company rather than blame the core root of the problem which is the incompetence of the handouts in identifying rather easily that this company was growing and thus not in need.

For all you know the owner would very much prefer he didn't qualify for those loans alongside their competition. Blaming the company solves nothing but does create division. Blaming the program, however, has the potential to solve every problem you have with the situation.
Are you saying Peikert shouldn't respond to such accusations even if they're true? Do you think there is no legitimate public interest in whether Peikert committed plagiarism?

I think there is a legitimate public interest in understanding why PQC hasn't been widely adopted.
All requests go through one socket thread, no matter which HTTP version. I am not a Necko engineer, but since requests can be upgraded, an HTTP/1 request could switch to HTTP/2 and if there was a separation by protocol, the request would have to be "moved" to a different thread. So I'm not sure that would work easily.
I prefer it to wordle! It’s fun and has more deductive reasoning.
Strongly disagree.

It is OK if you prefer no solution to some complex typing needs that are solved with complex syntax in Typescript.

Most of Typescript is optional.

It's not trivial to think of simpler alternatives to much of the problems Typescript is tackling.

(And if you have any simplifying syntax suggestions that don't break typing it will be interesting to read)
If we won't see it coming, and as many commenters have pointed out, it will indeed comprise personally-identifiable information - despite the (absurd?) claims - how does this all fit with the GDPR right to be forgotten?

In case of Melatonin, less is more. There are massive pills of 10 mg and even more I think, but apparently even 300 mcg is enough. I have 750 mcg 6 hour timed release version and it works fine.

I don't know for sure, but the "missing context" part might be intentional, at least this behavior matches what I want.

This way, you can share multiple files in a same folder to different people and they won't see other files.

OneDrive works similarly.
Sure, these people understandably turn to an easy and familiar tool in a time of crisis.

But the problem is that Twitter has no incentive to do anything at all other than optimize for ad revenue. Which is not a judgement -- it's just physics.

We cannot expect large, private, for-profit enterprises to act compassionately out of moral obligation. The answer is going to lie elsewhere.
The default for any data collection no matter what it is for, should be OFF.

Jeff Bezos commissioned Oceano in Alblasserdam to build him a gigantic pleasure yacht with masts exceeding the bridge's 40 meters clearance.

It is impractical to partially finish the ship, move it through the bridge, and then finish it somewhere else.

So the city of Rotterdam agreed to temporarily dismantle the bridge, with Bezos reimbursing the costs.
He is obviously a smart person. I wouldn’t vote for him though. He recently sued and won a “libel” case against a blogger who reposted a link to a Malaysian web site claiming the PM is involved in the 1MDB scandal.

Singapore is a one-party police state with zero press freedom and a poor track record of respecting human rights (being gay is still illegal).
