WikiLeaks Founder: Facebook is most appalling spy machine ever (2011)
It’s amusing to think the same devs who cobbled together a pile of otherwise fragile excrement were somehow careful to make sure that GETs were side-effect free.

Ask HN: Alternatives to DuckDuckGo and Firefox?
There's been recent news and articles about both of the above platforms taking a less firm stance on free speech absolutism within the last year (such articles have hit front page on HN, I find it redundant to link them here). Personal politics aside, it feels like it'd be healthy to have a glut of platforms that have a variety of stances on free speech, and yet it's been quite hard to find one that sticks to its proposed principles.

Are there alternatives that some of you would recommend in this sense?
Optery covers 200+ data brokers, whereas Removaly only covers 51 data brokers per their web site. Optery’s average scan results find 70+ profiles exposed and often top 100+ profiles exposed (scans are free by the way). Removaly is more comparable to Abine’s DeleteMe service whose “Sites We Remove From” page states they only cover 38 data brokers.

In world where Optery is finding 70 – 100 exposed profiles on a first scan, what use is a service like Removaly or DeleteMe that only officially cover 40 – 50?

Optery’s Ultimate plan also offers something called “Custom Removals”, which means if you find a profile the Ultimate plan does not cover, you can submit it and Optery will make a best effort to remove it: https://help.optery.com/en/article/ultimate-plan-offers-best...

Regarding easyoptouts, if you’re really price sensitive and looking for a super cheap option, just upgrade your Optery plan for 1 month. Let Optery’s opt out bot run for 30 days on 200+ data brokers and then cancel the plan before the next monthly payment is due. By cancelling the plan, you won’t benefit from the ongoing coverage and the new data brokers continually being added to the plans, but Optery’s Free Basic plan provides free quarterly scans and reports, so you could always turn it back on based on what your exposure reports are saying.
But why aren't bangs more ubiquitous? Did DDG patent them or something?

The actual logic behind it isn't anything stunning, it finds a bang, removes it from the query, then forwards the query to the search engine that was requested.

In the example given, the image looks far worse with AVIF. Given that this is an F1 car driving with motion blur- the AVIF image looks slow, because now the blur is in every direction.. the wheels appear to have grey liquid dripping from them, and areas of the car that weren't blurred due to being in focal plane, are now mushed and blurred as well!

Are road design in Belgium worse than in the Netherlands? The death rates per mile driven is same as in the US [1].

I don't think "road design" is an issue. People in Europe drive less in general, risk groups (teenagers and elderly) drive significantly less often, there are less people who need a car to get home after a night out, higher BAC levels (0.08% vs 0.05% or less in EU), etc.

The top comment in an "Ask Us Anything" post would usually be a question. (I personally don't have any problem with the top comment being something else, but that's the answer to your question.)
You're right.

In related news, Jussie Smollett was sentenced to jail today for faking a race/sex orientation hate crime. (He also claimed the imaginary attackers were politically motivated.)

Many expected him to escape jail time, but he did not. The judge cited Smollett's refusal to accept responsibility (and the resulting harm to society) in making the decision to mandate jail time.
This article reads like a combination of sour grapes with the odd clever observation.

Yes, Catia was a PITA to use and support, but it was productive in the right hands. PTC Pro/E was also a PITA to use, but very productive for experts. His outright dismissal of Solidworks is hard to reconcile with my personal experience using it to design components over the last 20+ years. These workflows might be different from his preference, but that doesn't make them invalid.

The referenced article about the failed promise of parametric modelling does have a good point though, although I don't think it's fully expressed: modification of an existing design in parametric CAD feels like it's a lot more difficult (and likely to blow up) than a software project of similar complexity. Perhaps this is inherent complexity? I'm not sure, but I do find that it's easy to get caught in a trap of endless circular revisions on related parts for what feels like a simple design change sometimes.
Eh. Idk if I’d call it proper. It’s no different than the “proper” experiments that have a trial of 5 people to test a new drug.

Problem is that they only did it for a few days. That’s not enough time for the margin of error to be very good. We all know traffic varies a lot week by week and day by day. Variance in just timing of the damn street lights is enough to make 30 seconds easily. You hit the stop light at the wrong time where I live - you’re sitting for a minute or more and that’s a big sway on a 15 minute commute.

It's not that they don't check those things, it's that Haskell's tower of abstractions makes it much harder to figure out where issues are coming up. In most apps at most you're dealing with GC time other than your actual operations. In Haskell you're dealing with laziness and monad composition atop just GC time.

Apple’s got the biggest Hi-DPI monitors, but not the highest DPI.
Hey Substack team, I am excited to see the app published and try it out!

I’m curious - what are some of your goals with the app in terms of reach, retention, engagement and activation of users?

I’m also wondering - does this new channel set up yourselves (and writers) to be at the whim of Apple?

For example, if the app begins to drive any of the metrics above, and Apple someday comes to see it as untenable, would you be comfortable sacrificing it?
Thanks for the explainer. I guess we should do the same thing to the Internet. If it's slower, less people will use it.
Where do you intend to use it? I have an older Fire tablet that, while never fast to begin with, is frustrating slow. Ive been using it to remote into my desktop, and want to experiment running linux/windows/android/chromeOs or something in a VM and rdp into it.
That would defeat the purpose of solving an incomplete information game.
The browser is rendering that region of its window as transparent, and the display compositor is obliging by showing the layers below the browser window. The browser window itself doesn't know anything about the pixels of the layers below it. So anything that looks at the browser window, like canvas.getImageData will not return those pixels.

However screen-sharing API like getDisplayMedia() will screencopy at the compositor level, so they will include those pixels depending on what you choose to share.
I feel like this use of containers is similar to how buildah works under the hood, except you are applying side effects to the host system.
Depends!

If the first page of search engine results about a question contains the answer I wanted to hear (i.e. it confirms my existing biases), I won't often look at page 2.

If the first page "feels wrong" -- like I have a hunch that things are a different way -- I'll read more results or write new queries. I'll also, I would say, 90-95% of the time, consider the possibility that I was wrong. But I'll keep looking for evidence that confirms my own biases, too.
Interestingly actually, Bitcoin is one of the few asset classes that is de-coupled from its supply/demand.

Unlike say, gold and oil - if that increases in demand, more mines are opened, more sites are evaluated looking for it etc. Whereas bitcoin, the higher (or lower) demand doesn't affect the fact that on average a block is only mined once every 10mins adding 6.25 BTC to the supply... And that throwing more resources into mining it just increases your odds of getting that block reward, but not increasing supply as would happen with the above commodities, or in the example - cheeseburgers.

--To the point - when we have increasing amounts of something like dollars, there certainly are things that can't and wont 'rise with the tide' of those dollars increasing in supply.
Yeah, this metaphor is bizarre. Optimus Prime’s forms are a biped robot or a semi; neither is particularly “folded up”, so I have no idea what car that’s supposed to look like.
It looks like the app supports Apple's Dynamic Type, which adjusts the text size based on the users' iOS-level setting. That's good for accessibility and usability more generally.

Do you consider letting users customize other readability-related features, such as column width, line spacing, etc.? Like text size, this is good for both usability and accessibility.

Glad to see Dynamic Type supported in your v1.0!

Knowing what we know now it's almost surprising that certain species of birds weren't connected to certain species of dinosaurs before they were.
It also creates problems that normally wouldn't exist. I was "the regex guy" at my last company. Every couple of days someone would be trying to solve a problem that would much more reasonably be handled by a few string.split() or indexOf() calls and some logic in their application's language. Instead they would message me "I need to do blahblahblah, can you give me a regex for that?" Or even worse "I've written this regex but it doesn't work on a few cases, can you help me fix it?" and then share some 600 character long regex monstrosity.

90% of the time my answer was simply "Yeah... That's a bad use-case for a regex. You can use this java snippet to accomplish the same thing."

At the start I would actually solve their request with some hairy regex, but it generally did not perform well and when requirements change they'd be unable to edit it and would find me again to change it.

There's stores about their high res displays, but to the extent they claim Apple is the only vendor that's just plain false.

Given your attitude you would have said the same thing about Poland, Sudetenland or when Austria invaded Serbia.
Alpine uses a different C standard library called musl compared to most well known distros that use glibc. You can run into issues if the application makes use of functions in glibc that musl has not implemented. Usually you run into them in applications that are written in C, such as in some Python modules that utilise C under the hood or in databases etc.
I think you're wrong (I'm ignoring the inflammatory rhetoric and taking the core of your argument in good faith).

The good thing about substack compared to most centralized apps is that writers maintain control over their audience address list. This aligns incentives since leaving is possible. It makes them more of an actual software platform for their writers which is a good thing imo. As long as this remains true, the risk is low.

It’s probably the best outcome you can realistically get on the non-urbit web outside of niche providers like ghost which have their own trade-offs.

I suspect the hardest thing for substack will be the moderation position they find themselves in. If they do anything to try to help increase readership (even if they don't) they will eventually find themselves in the same difficult situations as every other platform, this is just an unavoidable fact of being a centralized service with this power and capability (and choosing who you will not allow as customers is a form of substack's speech). Having this responsibility is not easy and with continued success and scale becomes messy.

This (imo) just isn't something that can be solved by a centralized system effectively, even though it sounds like they'll do the best the can: https://on.substack.com/p/substacks-view-of-content-moderati...
Well, it wraps around. As does (in imitation) Derrida's Glas.
With Russia threatening the Ukraine border, the US and other NATO countries pulled their people out. Military, diplomat, civilian - all out.

This cleared the space so that when Putin attacked, there would be no NATO personnel in the line of fire, and no excuse for a war.

If there was any interest in preventing what is going on, those people would not have been pulled out, and instead, additional exercises with Ukraine would have been conducted, sending a strong message to Putin.

Instead, a vacuum was created that would be hard for someone like Putin to resist.

It's now pretty much too late, except for possibly establishing a no-fly zone in the west of Ukraine to deal with the humanitarian crisis. But, you would need some leadership ability to do that, and that is severely lacking.
> Because one side is busy shelling and starving civilians right now?

And Ukraine had been doing that since 2014 to Donetsk and Luhansk

What does that make them? "Good guys"?

What about US helping Saudi Arabia commit genocide in Yemen what does that makes them?
In Japan, before Covid, people did sometimes use masks but that wasn't the majority. Very far from it. If I'm not mistaken it is people who know they are sick that would wear a mask to protect others. That still doesn't work for people unknowingly carrying a virus.

And most people are unmasked: so they're still exposed to at least some pathogens. So I don't see why they'd have a compromised immune system.
This is the most interesting thing I disagree about:

> It just ends up being a regressive tax

I don't think it's useful to think of paying for goods or services as taxes, just because they're sold by a government entity.

I don't think of buying a Bart ticket or sending a package through USPS as a tax. They're not that different from buying a bus ticket from Greyhound or sending a package through FedEx.

> "silencing the competition"

Hyperbole much?

Putting known-bad information sources further down the result list is hardly silencing the competition, in fact it's likely making the results a lot better for the majority of users.

> What if I'm genuinely curious as to how the Russian media is presenting this war?

Then I imagine you can search for that and find it just fine.

> They must have access to this perfect knowledge if they are fit to decide which news sources are "correct"!

Then search rankings are all wrong, from the very concept of such things upwards, because they all seek to rank information quality in various ways, and you should never use them. Any of them.

Honestly these reactions are ridiculous.
How does the design of a rechargeable mouse encourage you to forget to charge it. It makes no sense.

The original whine fest is about not being able to use the mouse while it’s wired. That’s because Apple wants you to enjoy using it wirelessly. It’s not hard and if you make a mistake, you can charge it to last a day in the time it takes to make coffee. No big deal. If you forget to charge it overnight, there’s a new chance tomorrow.

Oh and the Magic Mouse 2 features a 1986 mAh battery at 4.2v which really is quite a bit more energy than your pair of batteries of 2500 mAh at 1.2v. Unsurprisingly of course, otherwise we’d all have cellphones running on aaa batteries.

You’re not the target audience, you don’t need to tell Apple you’d want the charging port to be somewhere else, it’s a pretty obvious choice they can think of themselves. Clearly they purposefully made the different choice. And between you and Apple it’s probably also clear who is selling a ton of mice and who is not.

The Fit wasn’t discontinued in North America for a lack of buyers. It was built in the same factory in Mexico where Honda builds the HR-V, which is a small crossover that is mechanically similar to the Fit. Honda found that the HR-V was more profitable and sold even better than the Fit, so they just dedicated the whole factory to HR-V production.

Sort of similar to Ford discontinuing the Focus despite it selling fairly well. It was a lot of effort for a narrow profit margin so they shifted into more profitable vehicles. A shame because the Focus and the Fit were both reasonable, affordable choices.
