> and it won't end ASAP if Russians suddenly have a non-absurd reason to defend their land.

This is an important point. This is why we should keep reiterating to the Russian people that the sanctions are not to spite them and will be revoked immediately if Putin is gone.
We’ve been testing ads on Facebook, even though we don't love their privacy track record. But what Facebook and Google do with ads targeting, is very different than what the people search and data broker sites do posting and selling people’s email, phone number, IP address, home address, political party, ethnicity, etc in plain text on the web.

I haven't read Seeing Like A State. I have to say, i am extremely skeptical about the author's fable about forestry. Commercial foresters today still mostly use monocultures with evenly-spaced planting patterns, and i simply don't believe that they would be doing that if there was a straightforwardly better way to grow trees, even it was less "legible". This has a powerful scent of Gladwell-esque insight porn - the sort of story we love because it's counter-intuitive and makes us feel cleverer than people who haven't heard it.

I don't suppose we have any foresters on this board who can comment?
I agree. I'm an iOS developer (and Apple developer of 20 years) and I'm still using one.
You may not like it yourself but other people have the opposite experience. Setting the screen farther away and having your eyes focus at that distance is more comfortable for them. That other people choose other solutions doesn't invalidate that this solution exists and is valued by people. And I used the term strictly precisely. If you can manage that setup physically you get the same angle of view, more resolution and less eye strain. The 8K large screen dominates the 5K small screen solution for that set of criteria. If you add other criteria you care about instead the evaluation changes.
You could get a 1600x1200 T60p too...
I totally agree, it also works for limiting sales of existing goods.

If you put a price ceiling of $1 on paintings, owners will hold and not sell.

If you want to kill the market for paintings, this would be very effective at doing so.

You can imagine similar impacts of price floors or ceilings for real goods like land and housing.
Yeah, it's like there's a hook, and then a whole lot of backstory before the hook comes back.

I think authors rely on this too much as a crutch. It can work if the hook makes the reader actually wildly curious as to how that situation came about. But otherwise it comes across as like a turgid interruption.

I also dislike it in television. It's one of JJ Abrams' favorite techniques. Open with some crazy scenario, and then "two weeks previous" comes up on the title screen. He did it all the time in Alias. Although I think it worked in Mission Impossible III.
Honestly, I struggled with this overall.

For context: I'm mostly unaware of actions of US presidents (beyond the broad sweeps based on left vs right) and I've at most listened to Trump and Biden maybe a couple of times for a total of ~1min in the last few years - just doing this exercise has probably at least doubled my exposure.

I found the text and voice mostly impossible unless the content clued me in. Video was a little easier because I know to look for teeth, video with sound was fairly easy.

Is there a generic trick for recognising faked voices without really knowing the original (similar to looking for teeth on videos)?
Arm I believe helps a bit as well.
With Ultra Fusion....UltraFabric next to stack them all vertically.
I suspect it's got something to do with skin oils or natural variation in skin moisture. I know that big humidity swings were guaranteed to ruin it for me. Air gets dry in the winter, touch unlock drops to maybe 20% success rate at best. Fix it by re-training, then in late Spring it does it again when the air gets wetter.

The ones on their laptops, however, have been reliable. Possibly there was a generational improvement in the equipment before it hit the laptops, and my problems were just because I had an early model on my phone.
> distortion-loaded shaming definitely isn't the way to accomplish that.

I'd go further and say the poster you're responding to is non charitable and down right hateful, violating at least two community guidelines:

> Be kind. Don't be snarky. Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine. Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.

> Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.
Zenforce....lol
You think that US is "removed from this conflict"? They don't send weapons to Ukraine, they don't share intel and advice with Ukraine, they don't train Ukrainian soldiers and they don't influence other countries to help Ukraine?

You think that Germany considers Russia a reasonable partner? German newspapers that used to praise Merkel now don't criticize her for making Putin stronger? The government doesn't drop plans with Nordstream 2, also no plans appear to search for an alternative to russian gas?

I'm sorry if the rhetoric I've chosen here sounds passively aggressive, but the "purely rational perspective" you described is very far from what I consider rational.
First, I don't think a majority of Americans are in favor of changing the law such that if they don't protect their stuff, it's free for the taking. We've never had such a default rule and I can't foresee a sea change in attitudes that would have to take place before this happens. It's just not realistic.

Legitimate security researchers get permission from their targets. The current laws don't seem to impede their work very much; there's a healthy market for red teams for hire.

Journalists are in a class by themselves and are subject to First Amendment protections. Whistleblowing isn't at issue here anyway.

> If you put something in public, you should expect the public to interact with it. That's common sense and consistent with concepts already in use in physical property law (viewing/recording private property from a public space)

This is where the tangible/real-estate concept of property truly diverges from the concept as applied to cyberspace. When you are out in the real world, you always have to be in some location, and if someone's private property is visible from your perspective, there's nothing that can be done about that without a physical barrier of some sort. You can either cover the property, or cover everyone else when they're around it. Obviously it makes more sense to cover the property, from an economical and practical perspective.

But when you're in cyberspace, you have to perform an overt act to access something. URLs don't fetch themselves. Consistent with that, and in the interest of encouraging people to publish and do business on the Internet, we have made a societal decision to make strong laws protecting against unauthorized access, even when resources are available without controls as strong as perhaps they ought to be.

> Sandvig v Barr demonstrates that ToS violations can be CFAA violations ...

Sandvig v. Barr held the opposite: "violating public websites’ terms of service ... does not constitute a CFAA violation under the “exceeds authorized access” provision."

Van Buren v. U.S. was not about a ToS violation; it was about a police officer accessing and misusing confidential police records for non-law-enforcement purposes.

U.S. v. Drew resulted in an acquittal on appeal: "The pivotal issue herein is whether basing a CFAA misdemeanor violation as 12 per 18 U.S.C. §§ 1030(a)(2)(C) and 1030(c)(2)(A) upon the conscious violation of a website’s terms of service runs afoul of the void-for-vagueness doctrine. This Court concludes that it does primarily because of the absence of minimal guidelines to govern law enforcement, but also because of actual notice deficiencies."

So as you can see, the law seems to be converging towards your own opinion that ToS violations alone are insufficient to constitute criminal activity under CFAA.
Swiping up with your thumb is pretty awkward though.
Wealthy people are more likely to have good childcare (nannies, after school activities) where kids spend less time unsupervised and able to, for example, eat paint chips. For that matter, stuff like chipped paint is less likely to be left in a deteriorating state by more affluent owners.
Storing phones in bags don't help with the phone being too big to hold.

(Incidentally, not all women store phones in bags; but then I used to see men storing phones on those things that clip into your belt too… probably not within the last few years though. Also, you're not storing _anything_ in women's pockets; they're mostly decorative.)

Just what we need. Lets turn the concept of DNS into even more of an SPOF.
NATO hasn't provided direct assistance to Ukraine; it's NATO members independently providing assistance, and they've provided considerable amounts. The same would be true for the MIGs--they'd come from Poland via the U.S., independent of NATO. However, because NATO would be required to defend Poland if Russia retaliated, NATO and other NATO members would have been involved in the discussions.

Zelensky is, of course, trying to goad NATO into directly intervening. Ukrainian messaging has been remarkably consistent and well orchestrated.
The Russian people are the only ones who can stop Putin without triggering a nuclear conflict with NATO.

So far, they're not doing their job. Maybe we haven't incentivized them sufficiently.
It's crazy they loop, it just takes one transistor in avalanche mode to create white noise. Maybe I should mod my Bose Sleep buds that have ridiculously bad sound quality and short loops (and battery life).
I replaced the screen of my last SE 4 times. Hard to beat when there are $25 replacement kits available. Not the case with the 12 mini I picked up recently - wish I would've held off for this new SE (granted I don't think we'll see cheapo replacement parts any time soon). Really prefer the smaller size and the headphone jack isn't a dealbreaker for me
It seems kind of strange to have the "A" line go from smartphones to... iPads, and then have the "M" line go all the way from thin-and-lights proper workstations. Maybe they need a new letter. Call it the C1 -- "C" for compute, but also for Cupertino.
Ask HN: Why did a bunch of people from Rails core team resign today?
Today three people resigned from Rails core: https://github.com/rails/website/commits/main

From what I’ve pieced together is for on Twitter, https://world.hey.com/dhh/no-railsconf-faa7935e kicked off a wave of resignations, but I’m not sure why they all hit today v on March 3.

Does anybody know what’s going on with Rails core team?
This would make sense -- you can get the mac mini at the base M1, upgrade it to an M1 Pro, or jump up to a Mac Studio for M1 Max and above.
I do this, and sadly it won’t do 4K at 144hz, at least not with my Intel MacBook. Maybe the M1 can do it?
Why doesn't the survey give you a score after completion? Very frustrating!
The audio gives away. The fake audio is either of too monotonic or rythmic like singing a song
Not very scientific test, just pressing start stop on the stop watch on Google with one hand and opening the photo app and taking a picture with the other a couple of times. On my iPhone SE 2nd gen, after some practise, I can get .5 to .75 seconds. When including unlocking the phone first, it's closer to 2s.
> The relevant statement I'd read had to do with letting Ukraine operate from air bases in other countries

That's already moot since Romania is letting Ukrainian aircraft come here. 1 Su-27 previously and 9 helicopters today: https://universul.net/update-ukrainian-helicopters-land-in-r...
The big dies these days (M1 included) have non-uniform memory access baked in because they distribute the memory caches. If you want maximum performance, you will certainly want to be aware of which "performance core" you're running in.
It will be a hard business decision for them, as at this point it's extremely hard to compete with Amazon, Google and Microsoft. Maybe they will buy up some cloud services provider, we'll see.
Been wondering about this in context of UKR and the huge role of open source intel via mobile phone videos in it. For understandable reasons it's not part of the discussion right now but there might be interesting retrospectives about this available down the line.
There are risks with huge valuations like this: you need to keep growing your valuation. Down rounds[1] can be a death sentence, especially as we're most likely entering a recession.

Poland got F'ed by US multiple times in the past when it came to military contracts https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offset_agreement (/1) This way conditions are all in the open and there is no wiggle room for Blinken to "yes we said we would provide replacement planes, but it was just a preliminary idea blabla" down the road. Poland is next on the Putin list after Ukraine, right there with Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

/1 When buying 48 F-16 in 2002 Lockheed Martin declared almost $10B cross military gear imports and technology transfers, then it melted down to $6B with minimal militry gear imports and zero technology transfer, and finally ended up with US taking over mayor Polish military aviation companies - PZL Rzeszow (parts) went to UTC/Pratt&Whitney, PZL Mielec (heli/light transport planes) again to UTC/Sikorski then Lockheed Martin with Poland being charged extra for service parts coming out of those factories.
Can you actually connect HDMI input to a thunderbolt only display? I have the LG 5K thunderbolt-only display and cannot use it with a desktop PC due to this issue.
Oh, I want this. I "upgraded" from an iPhone 8 to an iPhone 12 two years ago and dislike almost everything new about the 12 -- the size (too large), FaceID (never as reliable as pressing the fingerprint button was). iPhone 8, but faster and with better battery life? Lovely.
This is a very little discussed question but one of the most interesting unknowns I think.

The pro and max come only in laptops, so the cooling difference should be quite significant, but also there is more chip and an interconnect to cool. Really looking forward to the in depth analysis of this.
I'm surprised Apple found time outside of focusing on growing the Chinese economy to work on this.

You're probably right that the country "USA" doesn't get "sanctioned" much since they're the super power. Instead they use their power to punish other 'bad' performers. That said, Russia's government is totally worth 'cancelling' right now. Maybe the USA should have gotten some more push back for their failed wars, but Russia sure deserves it for this war; it's even more egregious than Iraq/Afghanistan.
Adding 5 propaganda sources to 1 actual new source doesn't improve anything it dilutes it. Plurality in that case only makes things worse. RT and Sputnik are garbage, they weren't great before but they're absolute garbage, rivaling "Infowars" in the USA. However, I think banning RT is bad as well and encourages politicians to ban other news sources that are reliable but opinionated.
What is a "true independent"?

Are they allowed to have any opinions about political parties?

At a federal level, based on how strongly everyone toes the line, voting is basically just picking a party. So even if 100% of the way you choose is based on the individual candidate's actions, and your vote varies widely in more local elections, at a federal level the end result is probably the same party over and over for many years.
> Cursory look gives you a ~$3500 price tag for a gaming PC with a 3090

That 3500 is for a DIY build. So, sure, you can always save on labor and hassle, but prebuilt 3090 rigs commonly cost over 4k. And if you don't want to buy from Amazon because of their notorious history of mixing components from different suppliers and reselling used returns, oof, good luck even getting one.
Could they do a multi-socket board for the Mac Pro?
This just means there is a stabilizing force trying to maintain peace and status quo while figures on either sides of issues sway the long game.
Took about 10 minutes to install and most of that was just waiting for the os to transfer to the phone. Really easy install guide. Works great. I wouldn't ask grandma to do it, but the technical crowd here probably isn't scared of running a couple cli commands.
Nobody wants to lose privilege.
Maybe it's too much to expect a $1K computer to do heavy video work? Even then, I've been using an M1 macbook air myself for computational work, and haven't run into any memory issues and am surprised by how much power it provides for the price, and without a fan. The only issue I've had with the M1s is the display support, i.e. the mini only supports two displays and the macbooks only support a single external display.
Symbian was good though. As was Maemo, imo even more so.

Nokia was in this disorganized place where symbian was still making them money being "good enough" but increasingly clearly not the future, they didn't want to fully commit to Maemo, and meanwhile they were still doing well in the feature phone business. That's 3 platforms and no clear winner for the flagship.

I get the impression that internal competition combined with not enough coherent vision was what did them in.

That and hiring Elop, but so much was already in bad shape before that.
>If given a topic like "lgbtq" issues, the debate is not "Do gay people get basic rights?".

Eeh, it's still "do gay people get basic rights" for many even in the United States. I've seen folks have last wills overturned by family through insidious legal maneuvers. I've seen doctors refuse to contact patients with biopsy results because their patients were trans. And I've seen folks even withhold paychecks from LGBT folks because of their religious nonsense. So, basic rights are still a matter of contention until it becomes not merely a legal formality that LGBT folks are equal under the law but that the entire population does not even think that they have a chance to violate those formalities and that they feel bad about thinking of doing such a thing. Until that happens, LGBT discussions will always go back to "do gay people have basic rights?".
I suppose it depends on your definition of small and powerful. My phone is smaller in width and height than the SE (which is what your gsm arena filters on), but has a larger volume due to being twice as thick and weighs 3g less.

With 6GB of ram and a 8-core (4 big + 4 little) 2GHz MediaTek CPU, it's more powerful than the dual core A9. On the other-hand its 480x854 screen is much lower resolution.
I invariably end up using Func<TModel, TModel> instead of Action<TModel> for stuff like this to support immutable objects/properties. Increasingly common with records now, but not really needed if everything is always mutable on the objects you are validating.
No, you used George Floyd as an example. George Floyd was limited in how he was able to operate in society after his release, as people are asking this person be restricted.

You chose George Floyd because he is a name that has been made significant, not because he was allowed at a conference but because he was murdered.

You are therefore comparing to case:

* a person who is well known because they were murdered

* a person we don’t even know the identity of, because people don’t want to be present at a conference

So you are equating them, you could have used any name, or said a general ex-con, but you specifically chose Floyd.
Sort of. The CPU complex of the M1 Max can achieve ~200 GB/s, you can only hit the 400 GB/s mark by getting the GPU involved.

At the same time the Threadrippers also have a gargantuan amount of cache that can be accessed at several hundred gigabytes per second per core. Obviously not as nice as being able to hit DRAM at that speed.
We've found exactly the same thing. It's extremely important to differentiate between branded and non-branded keywords. (And to be diligent about filtering out all variations, misspellings, etc., of branded searches from non-branded campaigns.) While our testing didn't show 100% waste in branded advertising, we did find approximately 80-90% of branded clicks would otherwise have come through organically. So we do still do a small amount of branded search advertising, but with an assumed actual CPC of 10x the nominal CPC (and therefore quite a low maximum bid). For non-branded ads, we assume the true CPC is much closer to the apparent one.
I feel that if you're expecting your 'whole friend' to be exactly compatible with your opinions, you're not really looking for friends, you're looking for confirmation for your own opinions. I fully expect to disagree with a lot of things my friends say or think, and that there will be arguments. When we do argue, sometimes they change their mind, sometimes I change mine but mostly we agree to disagree. What makes a difference between a friend and a non-friend is that even if we disagree on some fundamental things and a lot of trivial things, our core values more or less align, and both sides respect the other and realize that there is no way you're right about everything. If you are, you don't have friends. You have followers and sycophants.
"MacOS on ARM handles memory differently, try it you might like it."

So Fanta was invented by Nazis?
Abkhazians speak Abkhazian (a Circassic language) and Ossetians speak Ossetian (related to Farsi). Sure, many of them may speak Russian too. But so do Georgians. All these areas were part of the Soviet Union which imposed Russian as the standard language. But people still kept their native languages. The point is that these people want to live where they do, speaking their own languages -- they have no desire to go "back" to Russia, but on the other hand they have no desire to be assimilated into Georgian culture either. Why is this so hard to understand?
IIRC my touchID phone was one of the early ones to have it (a 7+, maybe? I don't recall for sure). I've used I think three different Apple laptops with touchID, and they've all worked fine. It could be that early versions of the hardware didn't like something about my skin, but later versions (by the time they started putting them in laptops) were fine. I hold on to phones quite a while, so my next upgrade after that had faceID. In fairness to Apple, I didn't try any of their later touchID-equipped models of phones.
