I can't follow your comment. You say it doesn't work, then you say there's nothing wrong with it, then you list a bunch of things wrong with it. Also, a few things:

- Products and services are make to make money for their creators. They generally try to achieve that by creating something of value others will buy. So this isn't really an argument for or against it. A Prius works and it is a scheme for Toyota to make money.

- The fact not every ad is viewed doesn't mean it doesn't work. It's just the nature of the delivery. It could be a problem or inefficiency at least, but presumably it's factored into pricing. If one company figured out out how to reduce that waste, they should be able to charge more or take more market share.

Not to say it does work, but your post hasn't explained how it doesn't.
Under extreme socialism, think Orwellian levels, definitions of words are inverted. So the argument would be, if one believes we're already deep into Orwellian territory, that what most people think of as some kind of extreme capitalism because we have these large, unchecked corporations running around, is actually extreme socialism, aka fascism: the merger of corporation and state. And that's the reason these companies have gotten so large and unchecked. That we're not in a free market, but rather dealing with cartels that have grown like weeds and enforced their monopolies through violence through co-opting and/or cooperation with the state.

That's the idea, not trying to argue that's the case. Just giving a possible answer to your question. In reality we're all in a completely free, survival of the fittest-type situation. We're all gonna die someday and all that. It's just that society provides some nice illusions wherein we can debate about whether we're socialist or capitalist.
Using encryption should be considered a right, this way such kind of bills will become impossible.
I think it wasn’t entirely organic. But I’ve gone back and forth on that over the years.

I remember I arrived there from reading pg’s essays, which linked to it. So it’s possible pg’s essays really were that popular back then.
+1 for tutanota.

It's also open source.
The real problem in Web3 (as EVM does it) is that almost all wallets lets you export your private keys. This leads to a lot of scams that trap people. Got rugpulled? Joined Metamask chat on Telegram? Hi, I’m an admin. Just paste your 12 word phrase into this official-looking site and we’ll help you. There’s even a site that will generate vanity addresses for you! (Don’t use it.)

Instead, all this could have been avoided if they took the Keybase approach: keys never leave the device. Just have a keychain of devices which you authorize or repudiate, and use THAT to retrieve your actual accounts from the network and sign things.

This would work best with BLS signatures without a trusted dealer. I am not sure it can work with ECDSA or Shnorr signatures if you want to collapse all multisigs down to one signature.
But things ARE changing. Democracy, women rights, banishing slavery, ...

A lot has happened in recent years. The US had it's first black president and almost a female ( i wish there was a better candidate).

For other countries, even UAE seems to be slowly changing concerning women rights ( very very slowly)

Europe is further in that regard though.
Thanks for this tip. I usually resolve this by opening Teams in the browser and find the image I need to see. It's very disruptive that an important UI feature randomly (or perhaps reliably) fails.
Fastmail - it has a one-click migration from Gmail. The web interface is good enough, but I prefer to just use Apple Mail client on both iPhone and Macbook.
It is also one of the few (if not only?) providers that support Apple push natively in Apple Mail app.
The line to get my first covid shot was the largest group of people I had been around for a very long time. Much longer than the lockdown was.

It was about an hour of walking back and forth in the switchbacks. Outdoors in the sun.

Such is the cost of getting it during the early rush. Second shot was much quicker line, and booster I got a bit late so no line to speak of.
Having developed commercial desktop software for Linux, Windows and Mac I would say the churn is a much bigger issue on Mac than either of the other two. Developing for Linux is mostly fine.
The Big Bang happened right here. (And everywhere else as well.) That's the difference.
I was going to leave that up to my doctor because they know much more than I do. What I meant is that I’d want to check how much I need the next booster (or wait if I don’t) before actually getting it.
What you describe has nothing to do with Jira, but with how people are using it. If someone were to do the same thing in e.g. Linear would Linear be responsible for the bullying?
I use slides.com, I find it perfect for my needs. The solution to go with plain text and Pandoc and git is ok for software guys but if you want to make nice slides easily I find slides.com to be very effective. Just my 2 cents!
You cannot obviously anchor at Anchorage. Mud flats and tidal currents. Strange name then. And why do they not improve the tunnel, because Whittier is the best harbour near by.

I tried to start kayaking from the Anc Airport, but some responsible citizens prevented it and told me to take a bus to Whittier. Probably saved my life.
Why does it have to be an app? This is one of those things I'd do at home, while sitting at my computer.
This comment adds no insight on the posted content and makes claims that simply aren't true. To elaborate:
1. To assert "web3 doesn't care about X" implies that there is a coordinated effort to not care about X by web3 which is false by definition. Even if it's commentary on the apparent centralization of web3 being supposed to be p2p, there are several different web3 providers (eth, poly, ipfs) with different incentives. They're not all bad.
2. There are rug pulls and pump-dumps all over the place. This is a consequence of the decentralized nature of crypto and just a pessimistic example of what's possible with web3 tech. There are several optimistic solutions that solve real world problems using web3 which have been deployed IRL.

This comment only adds a poorly informed opinion to this discussion, while not being very relevant.
plays around in QGIS

yeah, you're completely right!
Sigh.

Generally what happens is that:
- Everyone is able to prove a transaction's correctness;
- There's no way for a third party to track the contents of a transaction adversarialy;
- there are ways for first and second parties to prove them if they so wish.
Rather, their dependencies seem to have had breaking changes for some reason when updating those versions. I don't know, that's what the article claimed.
Yeah that was my fault. I completely misread the comment.
I'd personally love to see social media shut down tomorrow, by holding twitter and facebook liable as publishers for the content of every post on their platform, and letting them defend in civil litigation every time they re-publish their users' false statements for profit. But that has nothing to do with government censorship, that's pure libertarianism and letting the publisher bear the cost. The entire notion of inching forward a general level of public disapproval for encryption is indeed terrifying. The template for government now is so well-worn, to take a 2/3rds opinion in the dumb populace and get them to go against the other 1/3rd in the name of safety; yet, we see it much more clearly now. It's easier to fight.

The platforms that are the biggest targets of this are, unfortunately, extremely compromised already by their failure to regulate their own users. Take that and a dose of populist anger, and it's pretty easy to see how important freedoms will be eroded and ultimately, any kind of private speech will be held as grounds for suspicion, even though that speech has nothing to do with these platforms or this law.

Private speech and personal files never belonged on those platforms in the first place, and to me it's hard to believe anyone doing anything illegal at scale would even be using those platforms. What we're concerned with here is how the demolition of their privacy regulations might turn public opinion against those of us who manage our own privacy.

The one bright spot is that we all see it coming.
Here have fun with Python REPL.

It handles them exactly as you describe.

They didn't have them when I first joined a few years ago but, when they added them, they did it the right way.

Coupled with the fact that you can use anything you want before the @, it makes for a very powerful way of organizing your mails.
It's often said that HN is a humorless place, but it may depend on the kind of humor. You have to know your audience.

Some of my highest-voted comments have been pure humor or satire. Here's an example (my two comments in the thread; start at the top for context):

I never said anything about mandates in the UK, probably because there weren't any. But they did cut off the truck drivers in a different way and it's not the only labour shortage they'll experience due to brexit. This is how governments create artificial labour shortages.
I was always taught in school that you "crawl before you climb" - so on graphs x is crawling, y is climbing, on maps lat is crawling, lon is climbing.

Which then leads to the confusion when doing spatial stuff, as it swaps between a lot of JS libraries (for showing) and backend systems (for querying)
Ah yes, because they valued a historical bridge more than a foreigner who didn't have a clue on what happened in that area.

Not all people are wealth maniacs.
Thank you for the explanation! The "for good" part is confusing.
Do you think you or the parent commenter can look into debugging or fixing the bugs yourself? I'm also disappointed at buggy software, poorly considered changes, and maintainers ignoring bug reports. But (sometimes) I try (and occasionally succeed) to fix bugs I encounter.
If you're doing this from a chrome browser that you're logged into, then it's the advertiser that is at fault. Clearly, if you bought the item, then they should now have you in their system as a conversion. With that information and you not clearing your cookies, they should have setup their campaign to not target you for the same item. It sounds like lazy advertisers.

To answer your initial question, it works and it works really well. As advertisers, we see a significant difference in sales when we don't advertise online. This is especially true for search advertising and retargeting. ToFu first touch display advertising doesn't necessarily work as a sale generator. It's the subsequent advertising / display retargeting we do afterwards that works. Unfortunately for advertisers, the days of doing the way we do things will come to an end with third party cookies essentially going away. It'll be interesting to see how digital advertising changes (specifically for open garden platforms like Google ads) without the third-party cookies.
It worked on me. I was looking for shoes one day and after 3 months of wasting money, they finally showed me an ad with shoes I liked.
When I was still using Windows I was using corel draw. I still believe it was (and I suspect still is) the best vector drawing program for more technical drawings. Just one example:alignment is really deeply build into the system using a set of keyboard shortcuts so instead of always going to the align and distribute tab you just pressed "e" to align the previous object. It was really so much faster for drawing than illustrator or inkscape.

Unfortunately there is no Linux version otherwise I'd happily buy it.
The thing is, “utility” is easy to claim, and becoming easier in the metaverse. Consider the justification for “greater fool” economics from the last decade:

Bitcoin ponzi: “store of value” is utility!

Filecoin: storing files is actual utility

ERC20 memecoin ponzis: “shibaMUSKinu community .. utility is coming… we will um, fork an open source wallet or dex”

NFT ponzis: “join the bored ape punk community, utility is working out in our gym on a private island, only 1% ever bother to show up”

Metaverse: “virtual worlds and real estate is utility! Accessorize your avatars. First people who come get to be the kings, next people can be the landowner class, later people will work their way up from serf. You’ll be able to fight and win virtual land, play to earn…”

The thing is, many of these things can legitimately be considered something of a utility for someone.

And frankly, this is STILL better than Web2 corporations owning the metaverse. It’s bad enough they employ psychologists to figure out how to make you more addicted to your phones and spending your time outraged, contributing content in political arguments while ignoring your kids. Imagine now you will be spending hours in virtual reality. What’s next, computer chips in your brain via neuralink?

If it was open source software, at least I can sort of control the economics of it. Otherwise… by 2040… you are a slave, Neo! Think about it.
Labels are representable via IMAP, but there's pretty much no relation between IMAP, Labels, and the MBOX format here - They're all ways of representing e-mails, yes, but they're basically orthogonal.

MBOX is a very simple format - It's a list of e-mails, separated by newlines. That's it, all there is to it. All metadata is in the form of e-mail headers. Those e-mail headers can be added by a variety of systems - Your MTA, the Sender's MTA, and MTA's in between (such as anti-spam appliances).

Gmail stores metadata about mail messages, and one of those metadata items is the labels that are applied to it. These are used to make searching easier, and are shown in the UI so you can select them and filter by them. Gmail Exports (via Takeout) add a "X-Gmail-Labels" Header that represents this metadata[1].

Gmail's IMAP interface shows you labels. IMAP as a protocol allows you to descend into folders, and to ask about the contents of folders. Gmail doesn't have folders, but it creates folder-like-views of your e-mail by selecting and showing messages that have those labels. It's a convenient interface, but it's a shim layer on top of Gmail, not in any way representative of how your email is stored.

The parent message is uncharitable and technically incorrect. It's not wrong that the gmail export experience sucks, but it's not right enough in the details to be a valuable contribution to the discussion in my opinion. Disclaimer: I maintained the Gmail Import API at one point in my life, and care deeply about portability.

[1] Interestingly, the header is different if you're accessing over IMAP vs from a Takeout export: https://developers.google.com/gmail/imap/imap-extensions#acc...

Where does this data come from?

What do you think if you included the option d) Someone recently made a search that included the word "blinds" ?
No, most people would like to be richer for less effort and therefore will invest early in a technology and expose themselves to larger upsides were it to take of, and repeat marketing material without incurring responsibility if it's false. I will not hold you responsible for what you just said, for instance, because I assume you're just someone who read the official communication of the company you're invested in, even if it's objectively false to say that people are expected to understand ambiguity in a way closer to the spirit rather than in a way closer to the letter.

Making marketing material truer will lower the amount of people trapped into the vicious cycle of repeating false claims for the sake of propping up a risky investment, and is good for everyone involved long term.

But short-term, making outrageously optimistic statements will create a large amount of proponents which is what probably financed this report in the first place.

The difficulty is in ramping up truth without destroying too much the franchisees who are the ones who put up the actual money but valued their investment in light of a false/exaggerated statement.
> I can't follow your comment. You say it doesn't, then you say there's nothing wrong with it, then you list a bunch of things wrong with it.

Where is the part where OP says "there's nothing wrong with it" ?
Indeed, this was entirely our fault and as I said, we should have correctly pinned, at least the major version. Our tests did not catch the specific issue, because all code worked - just the output looked scrambled. There are tests that could catch this issue, but we did not anticipate it and therefore had no tests prepared.
as far as I know, the web client doesn't let you control someone else's desktop when they are sharing their screen. which is something I do regularly.
You would have the problem that transferring between wallets links your identity. And I saw a recent report that using services like coin mixers taints the coins so exchanges won’t touch them or locks your account.
Yeah, it is actually silly if you don't have a decent DEM, though you can get away with a geoid approximation if you only want to render a pretty picture for someone navigating to the nearest ATM.
I think dynamic linking is great for saving (DRAM) memory, but for caches I am having trouble imagining a case in which this would make a practical difference.

You would need two distinct, long-lived dynamically-linked executables, both being hot at the same time, and both having libc (or another common library) in the hotpath at the same time.

To elaborate,

- If two hot processes are the same executable, static linking would yield the same results: They will be mmap()ed to the same physical addresses (and I'm assuming physical indexing or equivalent here, otherwise ASLR really negates any dynamic linking advantage wrt caches).

- If the processes are not hot or not long-lived, everything will be dominated (by orders of magnitude) by media access, context switches, and virtual page allocation.

- Sure, we could imagine a non-hot process trashing the cache for a hot one, and doing it less so with dynamic linking. But again, context switch is the bigger concern. A complete cache flush would make little difference here.

- And I'm not even going to touch on the various cache-timing vuln mitigations out there.

That being said, I am a staunch proponent of dynamic linking being the general case, for the memory and storage savings. Security is a common argument too, and although I'm not expert enough to have an opinion on this one, I do love the traditional distro approach to packages.
What happened to the idea that you should make up your own mind? And if you’re not allowed to do that, who vets the information? And who vets the vetters?
Curious to hear more about that system. What do you do with those spreadsheets?
Hey, why does British clapping always sound so much more dainty and civilized than American clapping? Were we brought up to clap wrong? I've been to a few filmings of Jeopardy! and it's just a studio audience with a sign above the stage that flashes "clap", so people clap like they're at a baseball game. But holy hell, you all make it sound like you're watching Wimbledon and sipping tea with one hand and clapping with a pinky.

[edit] Watching this thing... wow. I thought I was good at Jeopardy! and I'm not bad to have around trivia nights. But this is absolutely insane. I've never felt dumber to be an American. These kids are stellar. Like, glorious shining examples of what I wish American kids were like. I love that they're all from different countries, as well. Staggering.
Tick tock.. But I’d argue it’s not the same thing. The ’tick’ sound comes first, it’s onomatopoetic.
I found "An Elegant Puzzle" brilliant because the advice was so specific and concrete on a wide range of topics. But I'd guess the target audience is a leader in a mid-size startup (100-500 employees), so its advice isn't going to be so much help outside that group.
Thus the need for the One True Standard, which surely will be perfected this time around.
Joe became popular for inviting all kinds of guests and just letting them speak, I consider that to be a great boon to forming truly diverse audience, and I have no doubt he had it before spotify days. After that I've seen him almost going for a streak, inviting right-wing guests one after another, but judging from responses I got here this might not be the case anymore, I'll have to listen to his recent podcasts to get a better picture.
Never claimed to hope for the law to pass and that to happen. It was more speculation on what might happen if it did pass.

Regarding them attacking P2P.. IMO they wouldn't be able to attack P2P specifically without attacking encryption in general. There are to many ways to implement P2P using standard encryption technologies. I think they are starting to realize they can't win that fight without losing the larger war and so are attacking privacy from the angles they can get away with. Like corporate interests to avoid lawsuits.
You can generate a new public key at any time.
It's the only to we have that works really really amazingly well.

Philosophy, sociology, the liberal arts would never put person on the moon, do heart transplants, give us vaccines, the internet, computing devices, etc.

Thank you for linking the dislike-notice bias comments, dang makes a good point here.
So, if they had auditors to check that banks comply with the reserve requirements (instead of requiring them to hold a deposit somewhere), the banking system would cease to be centralised? Is that what you're saying?

And what about a smart contract that requires participants to make a deposit with the smart contract itself? According to what you're saying such smart contracts are by definition centralised. Am I getting this right?
So you're saying that if we did live under perfect capitalism, these problems wouldn't exist. But it's impossible to live under perfect anything, so it seems that instead of trying to become more capitalist, we ought to pick the system that works best while imperfect. Today I handed out survival kits at a homeless encampment. People are cold, tired and hungry. Child poverty, homelessness....this system is not working.

Anyway agreed on China. They've pulled 800 million people out of poverty.
As owner of a Sony CMD J5, I am pretty sure a browser has been there on such phones for quite some time, even if they could only see WAP pages.
Wacom says it’s not spying on its customers
I'm sorry I didn't make this clear enough. I don't want this to happen, I'm just speculation that it could have side effects that are helpful to parts of the community that would like to see less reliance on centralized systems. I'm not saying that is worth the tradeoff, because I don't think it is. Just interesting.

Regarding the point that this could/would lead to an attack on general encryption, IMO I think they are doing this more because they are beginning to understand that they can't attack general purpose encryption head on. It is needed in to many places to make it illegal. So they are attacking it from the sides, through corporate interests.
