It's really funny how everyone has a CAD program that clicks with them, and the rest ends up infuriating them.

Myself, I clicked with Inventor when I had a free educational license. I later got a solidworks license through EAA (a benefit that no longer exists, thanks Dassault!) and found it frustrating and unstable in so many ways. It felt like so many submodules just jammed together without any concern about consistency of interface or experience. Though it did have more options for putting assemblies together than Inventor did. Comparing and contrasting the two was really enlightening.

Eventually my educational license for Inventor ran out and I got upon Solid Edge. Like you (I presume) I found the sketching to be different from what I was used to. Then I learned that it actually had a completely separate mode that turned on the classic history CAD and suddenly it looked like Inventor again.

These programs all have so much functionality that can be so hidden behind years of changes and updates and best practices. Somehow though, I wouldn't call them UI or discoverability nightmares (though I think solidworks is both, haha). Both Inventor and Solid Edge really did a good job holding my hand as I gradually learn to use more and more of their power. Some of their help systems are really well designed. I'm impressed by how they both can have (mostly) consistent interfaces between their various features so learning a new part feels more natural. The way Solid Edge integrates its help system is really neat too. Maybe the rest of the computer industry can learn a thing or two from how these CAD programs provide gradual discoverability.
It definitely sounds like off-the-record talk.

Oh course, they forgot that everything on a mailing list is definitionally on-the-record.
> well technically the ukranians were doing the shelling first, starting on february 17th, killing ethnic russians in donbas.

Many sources argued both in advance and at the time that these were false-flag attacks designed to create a pretext for the invasion. (Eg, https://www.voanews.com/a/shelling-mortar-fire-intensify-in-...)

So the accusation of propaganda can go either way.
Should DDG show flat earth websites on basic searches about the earth?

That’s not about silencing the competition that’s about doing the basic functions you’re looking for in a search engine. Delisting would be another story as people may legitimately want to find flat earth content, but this isn’t delisting the content is still there you just need to specifically look for it.

Who is "their"? Is this Netflix or a startup 'copying'/emulating Netflix?

If their == Netflix, then I absolutely say it is necessary. If it's not, then I am on board with you.
Russian/orthodox world perspective: whether the west likes it or not, ukraine's illegal coup government went out of its way to oppress Russians all over the country. Azov was on a campaign of war crimes against the east long before the current war: "russia instigated the ethnic Russians in the east to rebel!" Come the cries, but, even if true, our answer is to shrug and say the United States does this all the time. Turn about is fair play.
Moreover, the view from Greece and Serbia is that the United States and Europe are causing needless Ukrainian deaths by encouraging them to fight a hopeless war. Western propaganda claims lives in this case.

Just FYI as how the east is looking at this.

> My other concern was if these are hijacking your data plan. Maybe it's not that significant amount if you have a huge plan but like Ting for example gives you 100MB of data usage each month on their basic plan. That's MEGAbytes. I checked my system clock app for example, and it's using like 500 MB a year of cell data. So the cumulative data it uses per year is about half of that plan's budget.

I remember just a year or so ago everyone (this is hyperbole obviously) was freaking out at the idea of Amazon's Sidewalk using MEGAbytes of THEIR internet. Its kinda amusing how those concerns are rarely brought up for Apple products.

I’m mildly upset right now because The State of California is doing this to me.

I moved out of California on 7/10, and my vehicle registration expired on 7/14.

The Vehicle Registrations Collections office sent a “Demand for Payment” to my new address because my registration is past due. I have to call to contest.

How can they charge me money for something I never wanted or legally needed?
The right to not be randomly murdered by the government.
Have you not experienced an avalanche of friends and family members sending you sketchy videos of dubious provenance? The past two years have illustrated to me that the majority of people are just not equipped to distinguish good and bad sources of information, particularly on the internet. That doesn't make them stupid. It just means they are deficient in the particular skill of distinguishing disinformation campaigns. It's a skill that can be learned but people often don't have the time or inclination to do so. Much in the same way that people will put on FOX or CNN and rely on those news sources because they don't have the time, money, or newsgathering ability to do their own investigative reporting. People end up generally picking sources they trust and then relying on them. But that leaves room for disinformation, especially on online sites where untrained people can let their guard down to bad information that has been unwittingly endorsed by a trusted source, whether a friend, or in this case, a familiar search engine. The reason disinformation/propaganda is ubiquitous online is because it works, and it's cost effective.

As far as slavery goes, that's one hell of a slippery slope. Owning a website and curating the information on it is tantamount to kidnapping people and exercising ownership over them and their children? That's like saying someone who "hurt" your feelings is engaging in literal torture and murder.

Ask HN: Is your company considering inflation in this year's comp review cycle?
My current company (not FAANG but a household name) just handed me a sub-inflation raise (5.5%) in spite of my "exceeds expectations" performance rating. New hires are getting 50% more equity than the total value of my unvested equity. The official line is that inflation is not a factor in assessing annual comp adjustments.

Does this match up to your experience elsewhere? I'm certain I could make more by switching jobs, but I wonder if I'm being screwed by more than the usual amount by staying.

I'm really effective in my current role. Past a certain level of seniority it's a big ordeal to change jobs, rebuild your network within a new company, rebuild reputation and social capital, etc. These network effects are a big part of your effectiveness as a staff+ engineer. I'd rather not move, but it seems I have to given the hundreds of thousands being left on the table.

You're quite right, the D language leaves the inline assembler as implementation defined. DMD has a quite nice assembler that was lifted and updated from the older Digital Mars C++ inline assembler.

Each of the D compilers supports inline assembler for each of the targets the particular compiler supports.

> Some US credit card providers provide virtual account numbers, allowing you to obtain separate/unique card numbers tied to a specific credit card, and can have short expirations, or be revoked early.

Yes, this is what I was referring to by expiring credit cards (I was very unclear, sorry). But does this method actually work? I thought you were still liable for the charges, just very unlikely actually to be hounded for them.
I don’t really get the author’s argument. A lot of it seems very “slippery slope” to me.

The government already can (and does) restrict what people can and cannot buy. The idea of limiting spending on certain things (like gas) is interesting, but that isn’t exactly a new thing. The government could already just straight up ban the sale of anything, this would just give them more nuance to their policy.

Other things mentioned, like automatic taxes and preventing money laundering, seem… good?

The more extreme authoritarian uses cases like financial “imprisonment” are certainly bad, but similarly can already basically be done. Look up what happens to those few people each year that are accidentally declared dead and can’t open lines of credit etc. The government can already ruin your life with the press of a button.

I’m not sure I support CBDCs, but these seem like weak arguments. There are definitely benefits to taking away power from existing financial institutions.
Man, how’d they notice that? Must have been a different violation, and then they noticed the dummy.

I subscribe to two paid blogs on substack and read and comment on them regularly. The comment sections get pretty lively at times. 98% of the commenters are sincere and post interesting opinions, sometimes quite informative in their own right; that's the benefit of the $50 or $60 a year filter, I suppose.

Nonetheless it would be nice to provide a mute/block feature, to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. There are a couple of commenters who are rather insufferable, and there's no way to downvote them or put them on ignore. I guess it's a relatively tangential use of substack, which is presented as a blogging platform first and foremost, and it certainly succeeds in that. But a bit of user control over their comment stream would be a nice-to-have.
Why can’t these kinds of improvements be made to jpg itself? Media format sprawl is already exhausting.
Having had my M1 MB pro from work freeze and stutter, I'm just not buying it. Your theory is great, never once expected this BS in practice.

For the record: I was the first M1 recipient (temporary 16gb MB, stock issues). I needed an Intel MBP because Rosetta ain't all that. I opted for, and was upgraded to, the 32gb M1 MBP. I chose M1 over Intel because it was unbelievably faster for the form-factor. My original comment does not concern laptops. My PC is orders of magnitude more powerful.

TDP is physics. You all might perceive Apple as perfect and infallible and all so lovely, but physics is physics.

I use AMD, not NVIDIA. And "what if" is irrelevant. It's like intentionally neutering Zen2 by comparing it to Intel single-core (as was done all the time). The reality is absolute, not relative. Comparing effective performance, not per-TDP, is what matters to the user. And my network/gpu/audio drops on both my 16gb M1 MB and 32gb M1 MBP under load.

Seriously not buying that "Apple can do nothing wrong" bias.

Take those #Ff6600-colored glasses off. The M1 has unbeatable value proposition in a pretty wide market, but Apple couldn't be further from a universally good machine.

> If the banks are tracking subscriptions, can we terminate the subscription from them instead of dealing with shady companies employing these dark patterns? Is this a recourse consumers have?

I suspect that, to the extent it happens, it's less the banks keeping track of it in advance, and more that the bank sees a new recurring charge coming in to the old account and decides to roll it over to the new one.
What I find more troubling is that I know for a fact of several people who did not respond to the surveys and were then never again contacted/followed up with as was indicated they would be.

That was in specific area, which, along with other knowledge and experience with working with the Census bureau years earlier, even before they were in the news for being extremely behind the curve ball even before the pandemic; makes me extremely concerned that the data is not at all accurate.

From my perspective it is not at all unreasonable that the 2020 Census data may have a lot more “noise” in order to cover up inaccuracy.

I suspect that with some data analysis it should be relatively easy to at least get an indication of something being of between the 2010 and 2020 census along with the community surveys.

I have been around these things in the FedGov and what I know does not at all give me a lot of confidence about this “noise for privacy” explanation. Does anyone know if they announced this move to increased “privacy” a long time ago or if it’s just a relatively recent thing? I am not aware of such an announcement. All the sudden the government is concerned with privacy???
This is correct. I was using transactions as a standin for demand. As in, Stripe could increase the demand for transactions, which increases gas fees, thus enticing more miners to participate, increasing the hash rate.

The amount of privacy is configurable, and researchers who would like to tune it (in either direction) can make a plea so the public can decide the amount of privacy loss they're willing give up in order to aid research.

Each culture is different and has different tolerances for privacy and amount of intrusiveness.

But we aren't talking about making something public. We are only talking about a case where the government already has a warrant.
Biological; nuland admitted that the US did fund those labs and that they did deal with dangerous viruses, but that they weren't for biological warfare. Either way, the charge has a lot more weight since the us funded labs exist. Biological weapons?? Probably not.. but here is the thing: Meanwhile here in the west, I am reliably told those labs don't exist while Russians are getting ready to use chemical weapons, just like in syria. Except the Russian chemical weapon charges were found to be bogus just like the Syrian ones. This comes AFTER Russian mod warns its people that the US will be attempting to false flag them with another "chemical weapon attack." Who do I believe? The west is at the bottom of that list.
> Children usually resemble their parents more than you seem to think.

Neither of our anecdata will be useful for much here; I could just as well say that actually children usually resemble their parents less than you seem to think.

> There is probably plenty of research out there that tries to find out how much is due to nature or nurture.

Probably! But I don't know what it is, or what its conclusion is, so just saying that it probably exists doesn't advance either of our arguments.
As for the amount of work required, we just rolled up our sleeves and did it :-)

Mostly I do avoid them. I have stocked up on a lot of reman kits - or sourced or made my own. For my 96, which is a 1968, I sourced bearings like normal, and made gaskets by hand. A bit tedious but rewarding. For things like brake calipers, I reman those.

When it comes to irreplacable parts that wear, I gave up on finding new ones for exorbitant sums. The ill fated 900 dashboard comes to mind, baking in the sun. You'll find collectors boasting how their is uncracked, but mine is as well - given 30 or so hours of using a plastic welder and a lot of sanding it even looks half decent.

For 3D printed parts, Jordan Pagano and other have been doing it a lot longer than myself, though I have built out some vacuum manifold pieces that are NLA. In the end - I am more focused on replacing that plastic with something long term. In the case of the vacuum manifold - i took a leaf out of my Porsche 944's playbook and tapped in brass fittings, that don't leak and will never wear out! Another example is the key barrel system, which combines a reverse lockout, and starting functions, and the switch is NLA. I'm now getting ready to order a retrofit keyless fob system. The key barrel will be removed and replaced with a knob that requires no key - and since my door key barrels, and my replacement sets are wearing thin - I found a system that can also send a 12v trigger. That'll be my key going forward to lock and unlock the doors. upgrades people, upgrades...

So, it's fun. It's really fun that saab used similar systems. the Jetronic, K-Jet and others are all over volvo, porsche, saab, bmw, of the 70s-80s-and-90s... Hell my 96 even has a Solex carb...

That's not to say I haven't stripped a few 900s down. I must have a half dozen axles in my shop I rescued, cut up body panels and little pieces scattered - and a very good friend and addict who has about 20 of them in his backyard.

"If I don't want to see "Russian Disinformation", I probably won't search for it to begin with."

? Nobody is really searching for 'disinformation'.

That's the whole point.

Is 'disinformation' really 'what they were looking for'?

Or were they looking for good information, and the 'misinformation' - which doesn't appear as 'misinformation' comes up first. They click it and become unwittingly 'misinformed'.

It's obviously very nuanced, but there is definitely such a thing as misinformation and especially propaganda.

For example, I see a ton of feeds sharing RUS losses with video snippets etc. but not a lot of UKR losses. Unless it's civilians in which case they want the information out there i.e. 'war crimes'.

Or more nuanced: the words of Putin himself. He 'misinforms' arguably by misrepresenting literally every thing he talks about, and obfuscating other realities. There are 100% pro-Nazi sympathisers in UKR forces. But it's also pretty clear that the government is not a 'Nazi Regime' by any stretch.

Issues such as 'NATO Threat' which is in some ways real, but used as an excuse really, because there is no material threat of the invasion of Russia.

So it's complicated.

There's also the fact that little bits of misinformation can contribute a lot to public opinion. I can just be 'populist' stuff. Like a funny picture oof Biden next to a 'strong and commanding Putin'. Charicatures influence people. That's a bit of a different domain, but also relevant.

When wars break out, we have to be a bit more pragmatic and also vigilant.
I would be sad to see it go, if only for the fact that they are (afaik) the only ones keeping mainframes alive as a modern thing.

Idle speculation, but I wonder if that could save IBM, if and when the market starts to sour on cloud computing (for cost and/or control reasons). Mainframes have a lot of overlap in terms of functionality (VMs, reliability, similar purchasing model for computing power) with cloud services.

> In a [court filing](https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.almd.75... ) last April, Abowd wrote that “our simulated attack showed that a conservative attack scenario using just 6 billion of the over 150 billion statistics released in 2010 would allow an attacker to accurately re-identify at least 52 million 2010 Census respondents (17% of the population) and the attacker would have a high degree of confidence in their results with minimal additional verification or field work.”

What would "re-identification" expose?

For example, say Alice is re-identified: what does the attacker then know about Alice?

Good point. But if people's lives are being very materially degraded, and there's only 'one guy' then he will be blamed. Even if ironically dear leader may have made the right choices.

We have inequality in the West but our lives are not improved or degraded to the very obvious extent that they are in developing places. They have 8% growth rate - that's almost something you can 'feel'.
I might not have been clear (sorry!) but the DSL here refers to the integrated assembly syntax as opposed to LLVM/GCC's textual approaches. Both syntaxes are officially documented in the D Language Reference [1], which is arguably the specification for D the language, but since DMD came much earlier than other implementations, I think it's fair to consider the DSL to be designed alongside with D. Anyway LDC and GCD's inability to support the DSL strengthens my original point.
