"March 10 (Reuters) - Meta Platforms (FB.O) will allow Facebook and Instagram users in some countries to call for violence against Russians and Russian soldiers in the context of the Ukraine invasion, according to internal emails seen by Reuters on Thursday, in a temporary change to its hate speech policy.
The social media company is also temporarily allowing posts that call for death to Russian President Vladimir Putin or Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko in countries including Russia, Ukraine and Poland, according to a series of internal emails to its content moderators."
Nice. Easy however to guess the country if you check the code. Sharing the results doesn't have much value because of that. src="https://oec.world/en/visualize/embed/tree_map/hs92/export/sw..."
I worked at IBM for a year out of college before getting laid off as apart of a round of mass layoffs that the company regularly does. Joining the company definitely felt cool, especially as a new grad. The history alone was pretty neat and I was super happy to be a part of something that had had such a big impact on the world. After spending some time at the company though, the biggest thing that struck me was the quality of the people and the mindset of management. IBM pays poorly, raises are nonexistent and so are bonuses. My coworkers were not particularly smart nor passionate. I honestly believe that a major factor in the decline of IBM is the refusal to invest in their people. Most engineers and designers are just cogs for the many layers of management to shuffle around and use, and the managers are more interested in playing the office politics game and micromanaging than actually building cool stuff. It's a very top-down sort of place but the people at the top and the bottom are not very smart.
As it happens, there’s been a 52% increase in infections and 17% increase in hospitalisation recently. Death rates are flat though.

Given the information controls since Vietnam we have been lucky so far. This may well have been triggered by regulatory grumblings and could be a sign of greater US involvement.

At least to me it feels similar to how big tech does weird things under gag orders.

I can guess once this is in place we can expect government mandated rationing with chips diverted to weapons.

I'll answer your question, but it's really pretty simple. It's the same way that people have done all sorts of terrible things since the dawn of man.

Someone had to slaughter the livestock. Hunters ran down animals and killed them when they became exhausted, and to be a bit more blunt, we kill each other in wars and senseless violence every day. Look no further than our current conflict in Ukraine to see what that's like, even amidst our advanced society.

Humans have an enormous capacity for empathy and kindness, but we're also capable of some truly horrific acts if the circumstances require or demand it.
In the particular case of Instagram as GP mentions, I'm guessing the devs don't go off of user agent since curl's default user agent is "curl/<installed version num>". Even if they are going off user agent, seems strange to block requests but not curl. GP doesn't mention if they tried to changing the user agent, would be interested to know if Instagram can guess if the client is curl or requests based off other heuristics

But this is a false dichotomy. There are more options than either an infobox that says "February 12, 1809" and a "February 12 in history" page. I think you can agree that a link to the Wikipedia article on Abraham Lincoln will be a fine search result. At most the search engine needs to be smart enough to match "birthday" in the search query against variations of "born on" that are present in the article.
I wonder if there will be a category between vegetarian and vegan where it consists of vegan & lab-grown, so no animal is that impacted (it's my understanding lab grown is far better than current practices in the dairy industry, for example).

> LI is separate Legal Basis to Consent, that's why there are two lists in the CMP.*

I never said the opposite and never said that was problem. Presenting non-Legitimate Interest as if it were, however is shady and probably illegal.

> The user's choices for each Legal Basis are sent separately in the TCF consent strings and entities are expected to adhere to these rules.

I never said that being separated is a problem. The problem is using anything that is firmly NOT in the Legitimate interest camp as if it were, and using that to mislead customers.

> One does not override the other.

It does in this case, and it is easily verifiable. Even if I disallow a certain tracking vendor, it will still load stuff from this vendor in websites, even though nothing from this vendor configures "Legitimate Interest". And all my data will still be piped to those adware, etc, vendors, that provide no functions other than adware, tracking and other shady stuff that GDPR requires consent for.

> As for why they're enabled by default... I'd imagine there's a legal reason. GDPR doesn't just apply to adtech, it's everything.*

That's beside the point. If it were really Legitimate Interest, there would be no need for asking.

I do not think that would work - the charge for the toll is just not enough to really incentivize carpooling on its own.

I agree some enforcement could improve things but then again I would guess this still increases carpooling just by the fact that most people do not want to worry about breaking the rules.

An interesting enforcement option might be to create a fastrack app or integrate even with Waze / other apps where each person in the car has to confirm they are where they say there are. It wouldnt need to be running a full constant GPS like navigating with turn by turn - just a few GPS pings at the start of your trip to confirm you are all in the same vehicle (or even by a quick local bluetooth ping of each others phones)
That's still beneficial to the artist as it usually raises the market value for the rest of their work.
Track your weight every single day.

You wanted weird? Here’s weird. Just track your weight. That’s all I’m asking you to do. Every morning, just stand on the scale for 5 seconds, log your weight in an app or whatever, and go about your day. The hard part is not skipping days. Sometimes you won’t want to face the scale. You’ll make excuses. But whatever, it’s just standing on a scale and tracking the weight, that’s the whole thing, so how hard can it be? Track your weight every single day.
If it shows up as blocked in a portscan the attacker will just try again from a different IP, right? think of it as a 403 vs a 404 in HTTP. A 404 says "there is actually nothing here" where as a "403" says "you didn't get to know if there is anything here". I'd rather just tell them that my open ports are 22, 80 and 443. Have at it, since it's cheaper for both of us to let whoever know immediately, and everyone who wants to know will know.

Also, on the CPU/bandwidth part, I don't think sending traffic to a non-listened port is any more expensive than sending it to a firewall. Both are stopped at the kernel, no?

Is there any point to block traffic to a non-listening port any more than is done by just not listening to the port?

Fair enough. But the reality is that lab grown meat doesn't exist, so we are not certain how it will taste. Plant-based meats have come a long way in the past 5 years. Let's see where they are in another 5 years, at which point lab grown meat still won't exist at a scale and price point that's available to the mainstream consumer.

I don't have anything against people pursuing lab grown meat research. I'm just a bit pissed that "futuristic" solutions get so much more mainstream media attention than practical solutions that already have an impact today.
The article seemed to be lashing out at "overly" designed card such as most modern Toyotas (and I would lump the Supra in there myself). But there are still plenty of clean, conservative, visually simple cars out there. Sadly they pretty much only come from luxury brands: BMW 2, 3 and 5 series, most Audis, Volvo S60, S90 and their wagon counterparts, several Genesis models, Golf GTI and R, etc.

We don't currently have any customers using Kable and GraphQL together. To be totally honest, I'm not a GraphQL expert, and I don't want to give you any false information, so unfortunately no, I don't have an example for you.

Kable can be accessed through our Node and Python libraries (more languages on the way) or over HTTPS REST API. I will have to defer to your design sense about the best way to leverage these technologies with a GraphQL API today.
There are parts of the process which we do not underestand. Testing is expensive especially at this level and nobody wants to pay for things which _could_ happen.
That attempts to provide it. I have been trying to use autocxx for a while, without success at the moment.

Thanks for this. I just got a surface studio with pen and was looking for something like this but failed to find anything.

I did the tutorial and it worked fine, but then when I started fresh I got a bug where I couldn't see any geometry until after I finished the pen operation, rendering it useless. What a shame. I'll try it again one day after they hopefully fix it

The terms co- and contravariant make sense on a purely algebraic basis, with components of tensors transforming 'the same as' or 'opposite to' the basis vectors. That the basis transformation is induced by transformations of some base manifold is incidental.

It is a great idea. The problem is often in the smelters, and other manufacturing processes. They are designed for certain element streams. For example we organized delivery of 100,000+ tonnes of copper contaminated soil, and in another case lead contaminated soil to go by train to copper and lead smelters (processors.) So instead of paying to send to a hazardous waste treatment facility - where it would have been all buried, and would cost millions in disposal fees, the contaminated soil had value.
Unfortunately, the value was so low, that it barely paid for hauling cost.
(Still better than disposal cost, though.)
The waste stream was too rich. The smelters had to dilute, and handle the waste streams separately.
If it was a continuous process, then they could design a system to continuously handle it.
In other words, this is possible, but as in most processing operations, it would require a comprehensive buy in, from all over the world, or across the USA, or across Europe, for example. With organising it could work. But everything is independent and dissociated. Similar to other problems we have, with electric power distribution, water management, etc.
Oh yes, the "If I didn't sell them X, someone else would have done" excuse.
From an outside of IBM point of view IBM limited much of what smart engineers could do in life, you couldn't write OSs, design computer hardware, etc etc those were all things that (because of the way things were structured) were IBM's pervue, it's why CDC/etc anti-trust suits occurred ....

Arrival of the microprocessor, Unix escaping AT&T and some other changes in that era changed how all that worked, now we could write our own OSs, linux came about, a host of new little semi startups started making RISCs - and Intel/AMD (and I guess Microsoft, though OS has muted that) sort of took over ownership of owning the big gatekeeper ....

Nowdays we see RISCV coming along as a disrupter and a 1000 new little flowers blooming
These systems are designed to be making money which then (theoretically) should go back into transport infrastructure. I agree we need more public transit - but keep in mind (generally) along this exact same route Caltrain provides some very good and very clean service already. I would really love to see that service extended all the way around the bay.

One of them does not have free press and kill journalists. Both cases are not even remotely comparable.
I've tried it. The few bugs are expected for being so new but memory usage is the big issue for me.

If you ask me what an ideal browser in 2022 is, it would essentially be a VM hypervisor with UI made for browsing.

I would have paid for a browser that resurrected Servo or something but as much as I like Kagi from the same company, I just didn't see enough differentiator for Orion compared to say Brave.
Yeah, but in this case Stripe is one step removed morally as well. I don't see this as materially different from them being a payment processor for an online liquor store or a pyramid seller like LuLaRoe.

You could say that a payment processor should morally screen their clients in general, but that seems like a stronger and not-so-reasonable statement. They do prohibit certain kinds of businesses, but I think the bar for that is very high and likely related to chargeback concerns and such.
I am reminded of the first sentence of The Postman Always Rings Twice, something like "They threw me off the hay truck about noon." I suppose this is because it was somewhere out in southeastern California also.

Russian propaganda divides families over Ukraine war
The first half of this book was absolutely amazing... Could have been one of the best sci-fi books ever, but the second half was mediocre and unconvincing... Such a disappointment. Still worth it though overall.
You stated that you aren't British. You should probably ask some Brits what they think about the BBC and understand their criticisms. You may be surprised by the response.

They generally do not consider it unbiased at all and many would call it false propaganda, especially if they are Irish or Scottish.
GDPR for example gives it teeth.

Grandparent post asked for a technical solution to hide cookie banners forever.

A websites don't have to show any cookie banner whatsoever if they honor Do-Not-Track.

If they don't show a banner but still track, they're breaking the law.

The problem of cookie banners is easy to solve. All that's lacking is honesty from adware vendors and website operators.
> There are several third-party Hi-DPI displays

I believe there are only very few above ~185 PPI (24" 4K) like Apple’s 27" 5K, except for the LG one and Dell’s 32" 8K. (Oh, and there’s Microsoft’s Surface Studio with 28" 4500 x 3000 at 192 PPI.) So for PPI > 200 the question is justified.
Solving Concurrency in Event-Driven Microservices
Agreed. This, not lead fumes, is the real danger of leaded solder. You can't hand solder reliably without cleaning the iron, but both of the common cleaning techniques (damp sponge and brass wool) inevitably break the soldier into tiny balls, which bounce and roll all over the place. They can get caught in clothes, and from there they might end up getting into food. With the safe dose for lead being zero, I don't think it's worth the risk.
Von Neumann style machines have basically won out, but its interesting to note that the PIC microcontrollers follow a Harvard/Aiken architecture, with different address spaces for code and data. There are therefore millions of non-Von-Neumann computers in the wild right now doing real work!

>One of the main goals of the current Russian propaganda push in the US is to get people to lose confidence in reliable news outlets.

If western news outlets focused a little more on actually being reliable and objective maybe people wouldnt lose confidence.

I hardly think Russian propaganda is required for people to do this.
> You cannot have a free market without transparency

I've not heard this before. So I need to know the wages of the workers, what the CEO had for breakfast, the favorite color of all employees, the inventory and sales, etc for every single company in order for it to be a free market?

I'm not arguing that knowing these things would be bad but actually curious of the boundaries you would draw when you say "transparency" such that it would encompass the exact algorithms used in a privately-owned search engine.
> It is justifiable to critique them in whether or not they've done a good job of that,

If the announcement said "all disinformation about Russian-Ukraine conflict" it would grant benefit of a doubt about their execution as you point out. But it says "Russian disinformation" thus they are making it about politics (something a search engine should not be doing), not fighting disinformation (something a search engine should be doing), so we are justified to critique them on that basis.

> You know that most search engines downrank non-English-language sources for you if you're located in America, right? They try to return results in languages that you're likely to be able to read.

Correct. Because they can rightfully infer that the user is searching in english and likely wants results in english. However in this case, they are inferring a certain political view of the conflict, regardless of what your intent is (what if you are a Russian or Chinese DDG user, or simply someone who is agnostic and wants to read what all sides have to say to form a world view?). No basis for inference can be established here. The only way this could work is by having a switch in the interface to turn such results off, so the user can opt in into it if they prefer to.
Why does a food need to contain 90% or 100% protein? I think many people vastly overestimate how much protein they need.

*sigh* HN comments are entirely predictable.

Tools that help understand and detect suicidal behaviour could also help refine an understanding that people can use to spot potentially pre-suicidal behaviour in the people they love.

You know that suicidal people often don't, can't or won't reach out for help at all, right? And may in the days before their suicide appear to be dramatically better, serene, even peaceful?

There are likely other common patterns of pre-suicidal behaviour (unusual secrecy for example), and a tool that can help clarify what the reliable indicators are, really might stop people killing themselves. We want this, don't we?

In DARPA's case, if those people are in the service, it is their damn business; they have a duty of care.

Away from DARPA, better processes might have stopped a horrific airline disaster in recent years. There are some people in highly significant, routinely stressful roles who are regularly psych-screened anyway. Those screenings need better tools to be more useful.
I may be the only commenter here with a Saab as my daily driver (9-5 model). The appeal for me is partly design, as this article notes, but many other factors as well: it's fun to drive the manual turbo, a sedan with great cargo capacity (e.g. the skis easily fit in the trunk with pass-thru to back seat), known safety record, durability (yes things need to be fixed but they are generally not terminal issues), tows the trailer/boat fine with 3500# tow ability, good in snow (not AWD but gets the job done), etc. It's a labor of love but I think next step for me is a small utility pickup which won't be anywhere near as fun to drive.
I mostly agree but don't some european countries have the equivalent of toll roads? I could have sworn Germany had some.

This route along the 101 does actually have decent public transit by american standards - Caltrain is pretty awesome
Interesting. I thought only authoritarian regimes decide for citizens what they should or should not watch.

I'm only getting my feet wet on synthesizers but it gives the impression that it has a lot of cool and unique features, even compared to commercial synthesizers or LMMS, the synthesizer I've looked at the most .

The problem is these people saying they're open source then playing game pisses me off much more than if they said they were commercial with a free version.

So I'm torn on trying them. And I can't get the github code to compile on Ubuntu 20.
That's a great idea and would be an amazing next step.

Do-Not-Track can already be honoured by website operators. The issue is just that they choose not to do it.
