>I wish I could watch a program, while showing my computer hdmi input picture-in-picture. Hell this thing has 4 HDMI inputs on the back, let me do each input to a quarter of the screen. Another niche use..

I've seen some business monitors that will show a 2x2 grid of your inputs. I think you can get some sort of device/box to add this feature to existing screens.

I really wanted this feature a few years ago, but hadn't thought about it lately. I wanted to turn a 65" 4K TV into 4 1080p monitors, basically. When a PC is hooked to it, I run i3wm, but this doesn't handle cases like someone hooking up a game console or another PC and wanting to show both. Maybe with some capture cards you could display other inputs in mpv.

If we could put our own software on TVs or swap out the boards with more hackable ones, that would be cool. Just buy a dumb display with speakers and let the free software community handle the rest.
A privately operated platform is, by definition, not a public square!

Here's a neat bit of zip code esoterica: domestic US mail can be sent to US embassies abroad via special addresses in Washington DC. [1]

Each embassy has a unique nonexistent house number and street name within the 20521 zip code.[2] For example, the embassy in Paris is "9200 Paris Pl, Washington, DC 20521-9200".

Oddly, the only duplicated number in the list is "3180 Grenada Pl" and "3180 St George’s Pl"; St George's is the capital of Grenada.

Autopilot and FSD (non beta) are both available in Australia. Autopilot is standard on all models.
On Food and Cooking by Harold McGee, is perhaps one of the more interesting books on food science that is not a cook book. It's not something that you would read straight through, but great none the less.

Modernist Cuisine by Nathan Myhrvold is perhaps the most beautiful group of cook books, although quite pricey.

Professional Goldsmithing by Alan Revere is hands down one of the best books on jewelry fabrication in precious metals.

They still are open source [1].

If I had to guess, the reason they locked the bootloader is the same reason they removed the symbolic math functionality (which is re-added in Omega [2]), test accreditation.

They want to create a calculator to provide a good and viable alternative to TI. They can only do that if their calculator is allowed on tests like the ACT, SAT, etc.

The most common same-sex analogue to heterosexual marriage by far is in fact sworn brotherhood. "Gay marriage" is a modern innovation that mostly matters as an indication of legal status, but not a good descriptor of actual social relationships. Teach your kids about sworn brotherhood, and they will be very well equipped to understand the implications of gay marriage, when that (along with the non-trivial complexities of things like sexual orientation, which will be quite simply illegible and irrelevant to them prior to the biological changes of adolescence) becomes more relevant to them.
Elon Musk needs to create competitors to Twitter / YouTube / Reddit that won't censor people like Twitter / YouTube / Reddit does.
I feel for the family. There should be an appeals process. Since google is reluctant to create a process, I would go as far as having the people that bring the appeal pay the costs if they lose. By having the loser pay the cost it would reduce the frivolous ones to a minimum. The app market places have become too important to have big tech dominate every aspect of it.
This is not a thoughtful reply to the parent. He's correct, and doesn't mention Naziism at all.
This looks great so far! I like the approach. I'm looking forward to reading chapter 4 and beyond next!
Check out https://www.pirateship.com/. I think I heard about that site here first. It offers discount rates on USPS and UPS. I think it even offers some USPS services that normally require a trip to the post office.
It depends on the distance they can best focus on. Then choose the display size accordingly. I.e. a huge display won’t work if they are near-sighted.
That's interesting. I've given a talk various times over the years on "how the internet works", and when I later read Code I also noted the similarity in style. So no, not directly, but we apparently just have similar styles (not that I would place my book anywhere near Code).

Almost nobody cares about the actual skin color. It is all about the culture. Western and Arab Muslim culture is too far apart for it to ever work in most cases. Ukrainian culture is not 1:1 compatible with Western European culture either, but it is at the very least a lot closer. Most of the Ukrainians are going to their neighbor countries, mainly Poland, where they share a lot of cultural values. As I recall, more than two million Ukrainians already worked in Poland before the war. The ones not going to neighbor countries, are going to countries where they already have friends and family.

More importantly.. Ukrainians may be building societies in the areas where they live, but they are not usually based on hating the west. Ukrainians want to work for the help they've been given. Everywhere they've fled to, there is suddenly a huge popup of Ukrainians looking for work so they can support their families. They don't want to rely on government handouts.
>whose database are you incrementing/decrementing in

Your own. An an exchange you own 10 total shares and in your database you store who those 10 shares belong to.
Have you considered that you have some autocratic tendencies yourself?

> I'm a free speech absolutist - i.e. I believe in the first amendment, including the idea it should protect you from corporations.

The Supreme Court has repeated ruled that the First Amendment extends towards editorial decisions in the sense that editors can choose what they publish and what they don't. Do you really believe people should be forced to distribute whatever you want them to?

> To those that say “it’s enemy propaganda” who’s the enemy?

The Russian government who would strip me and my fellow man of the right to free speech just like their stripped their own citizens.
"Disappeared" is not the correct word. People who are disappeared dont write stories about it. If a journalist writes of a witness being disappeared it means a body is rotting in some swamp, not moaning about loss of personal data. It means that a political dissident got on the helicopter, but didnt step off at the destination. This article is about simple de-platforming. Leave the hyperbolic homicide terminology alone.
It seems that Three didn't invest much on 4G (hence the low speeds), but they fixed that with 5G. They now own a lot of spectrum (Three 160MHz, EE 120MHz, O2 100MHz, Vodafone 90MHz) and at least in central London you can see difference. On 5G, I often see 2x higher speeds on Three/Smarty than I do on Vodafone.

But again, 5G. Performance on Three's LTE is completely different. I believe they rank last on 4G speed tests here in London, behind EE, Vodafone, and O2.

I didn't have a positive opinion about them (used them for a year and then left, this was 5 years ago), but some people were getting interesting speeds with their 5G[0], so I ordered a Smarty SIM (30 day plan) just to test. While not as stable, it's certainly cheaper and faster than my FTTC connection (60Mbps/15Mbps for £30/month).

EE has always been very good in this area, even indoors - I was getting 150Mbps/15Mbps inside my flat, then moved to Vodafone which gives me similar speeds as my wired connection - but as you said, contracts are a problem. I'm not going do a 12 or 24 contract just to test 5G :-P

Anyway, if you have access to 5G equipment (a phone, 5G modem, etc) and have 5G coverage, test again. You may see completely different results compared to 4G.

When Teams came out it didn’t have feature parity with SfB, despite their claims that it did, but here in 2022, it does. At least I can’t think of a sing feature in SfB that’s not in Teams now, and can think of many features that have been radically improved. Never used consumer Skype too much, what are you missing in Teams now?
Not really. The major concern is getting clients to one machine and running a stateful connection so you don't need to pass messages through some kind of slow, multi-hop broadcast system. The CPU overhead of containers or vms is pretty minimal compared to this main concern.
I did miss this section in my skim, but it's also the first place I went as well. It doesn't seem like you could ever be sure that no old messages would be sent with an earlier timestamp if you don't know the set of nodes that are participating in the protocol.

Moreover, if you allow the set of nodes you do know to make operations maliciously (e.g. a single bad node enters the set and tries to cause conflicts), things get much more complicated, and I don't really think you can escape the impossibility results in relation to consensus protocols...
I guess I disagree? I was pointing out that throughout the history of the United States it’s actively supported discussion of topics disallowed elsewhere; including nazism which is banned as “hate speech” throughout the rest of the west.

Don’t forget all the “Life Coaches”
Singapore and Hong Kong are exceptions to general trends. Being a small city state/port city gives you the ability to do things that larger states aren’t able to do (similar to banking havens in Europe like Luxembourg and Lichtenstein).
Those things are unlawful because of the effect they directly cause to the real world.

Speech, in general, is just sharing information - it does not cause any direct effect on the real world (actions of other people with whom we have shared the information do not count as direct effects, or otherwise the legal system would get really messy).

Honestly some of the things that website includes seem a bit wacky to me.

I feel similarly about the Google Home Max. Was it really killed in 2020, if the latest version of the firmware came out in 2022? Can we say that Google killed the Pixel 4, since the hardware is no longer being sold but it's still receiving updates?

The inclusion of Angular 1 is also kinda questionable to me. Even though Angular 1 code isn't totally forwards compatible, there is a pretty clear migration path for moving to Angular 2 and beyond
(Someone please fix the typo in the submitted title... @dang?)
That’s not what I’m talking about. It’s easy to write an iOS app that can adapt to an iPad. If it doesn’t, then that means that some kind of outdated hybrid system was used, or they hired the absolute cheapest coders they could find, that used fearfully primitive techniques (or both).

I’ve been writing iOS apps for many years, and have never written one that doesn’t immediately adapt to an iPad. Even my cruddiest, written-in-two-hours test harnesses run on iPads without that ghastly “2X” button. Heck, my very first ObjC “hello world” app adapted to iPads. It’s pretty much built into the SDK.

TBH, I’m not even sure how to get the 2X to appear.

But it’s not my app, or my money. I just didn’t want to waste my time on a bad app. I doubt that I’m the reason they face-planted.
If you want better types, have you taken a look at Hack?

How many chapter do you expect to write? Ballpark? 10,20,50? Just so I can get an idea
Yeah, Flatpaks really are a shame in general. I don't blame anyone for disliking them, and I personally stopped using Planner after they (seemingly intentionally) broke support for native installation.

As for deadlines, my strategy was to simply put tasks on the day they were due, since they would be aggregated in lists regardless of when they were dated. However, I can't deny it's missing the feature.
I checked, 5G on and off. My battery drops 20% more when on 5G. iPhone 12.

So I wonder if all you smart people can do the math, how is that going affect power use and climate change when everyone has this new demand for power?
I find that line of reasoning very unconvincing.

If speech is deplatformed in the Western world, even if not outright illegal, it is effectively banned. You don't get fined or arrested for watching, you just can't access it.

It's still not there -- you can still access RT's website and there are alternatives to YouTube... for now. How long till you cannot access them either.

It boggles the mind. So Russia blocks Facebook and Twitter, and we rightly repudiate it. Though I guess when we make RT and affiliates inaccessible it's ok?
Best solution I have seen is to buy a Chromebook and install galliumOS. Still has most of the same issues as any desktop Linux but at least has all the power saving features of chromeos are included. That way you don't have to buy a device from a company that decides to throttle the CPU when they want you to buy a new computer.
You’re in luck, there’s a “Show HN” for that too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30070369
Don't you mean the opposite? Shorter is better since there is less risk?
He's also got a book out, "Combating Cult Mind Control", although it looks to have been published before this. I'm curious of the differences.
> The amount of data on these platforms is enormous and having people review the videos/apps/whatever would be simply prohibitively expensive.

For free accounts, maybe. But it wouldn't be very expensive to provide basic service to accounts with significant money flow where google is taking a cut. Or accounts that are directly paying every month.
Extremely cool, and I love the doodles. Bravo!
> I think WordPress is pushing other projects forward as well.

If anything, it's holding PHP back. I don't often work with WordPress projects, but when I have to, it makes me want to cry with how backwards they are. WordPress doesn't even have a real routing system!

Furthermore, its ecosystem just seems to encourage really, really bad things, like user-editable templates, PHP code "snippets" stored in the database, images which should be in themes stored as post attachments instead, and just general lack of respect for the idea of separating code and content. Almost every "plug-in" or template is crippled and begging for license fees and/or throwing spammy "notifications" all over the admin interface. I know this sort of stuff are more culture issues than code ones, but they're still problems, and ones you only really see happening in WordPress sites.

I get angry when a client comes to me with a bundle of WordPress mess and asks me to fix or improve something. It's shameful and disrespectful to take a client's money and give them a WordPress site in return. Do these people actually not realize there's far better things out there?
Webex, really? Didn’t the zoom people leave Cisco to make a better Webex? The only people I know still using webex are the feds. Honestly I don’t have issues with teams voice and video, it seems largely commodity at this point, though zoom certainly talks up their ability to maintain quality over crummy connections.
It’s no better on the consumer side. When I end up closing my GSuite account, apparently Google has no way for Play content to be shifted to a new account, and that means that three people will be losing content, apps, and possibly photos. I don’t care that much for my own (it’s $60 of apps for a platform I don’t use), but two people on the GSuite account have committed to Android (against advice) and used their workspace accounts.

I’m a little more than pissed off.

Loading this today is more/less instant. Even on dialup it would have been seconds.

And HN-style content does not represent the majority of bandwidth usage, or the new applications that make use of higher bandwidth. TikTok simply couldn’t have existed in the dial up days, a company now worth billions. That has happened consistently with communications technology over the past century. Why would we think it should stop now?
Talk about entitled. Freemium exists because of piracy. Why blame the video game industry for something caused by criminals. Developers need to eat too.
The maps show the standards only for services, such as First Class Mail, that are classified as “market dominant.” Priority Mail and Priority Mail Express are “competitive” products.
Probably somewhere in the 25-30 chapter range divided up into 3 parts.
Who cares?

He's responding to someone saying "I'm surprised there's not video/audio" and responds by saying "it won't change the fringe's mind"?

It will change a lot of people's minds, just like it did in all of those incidents he named.
Look at existing tests. Existing tests usually setup things in separation. Find tests related to what I’m looking for, break it down, go from there.
Have you ever collected anything?

Do you think Action Comics #1 would drop in value if DC reprinted it? No. It's worth $3 million because the collectors care about the history that represents and the rarity of finding the original. Otherwise it's just ink on shitty paper. Collectors are deciding the value of the original and it can't be manipulated by merely making a new version. Omega would have to start selling the real thing for less money to tank the price. A clone can't do that.

People aren't going to stop buying the original either. Think about knock off designer handbags. It's easy to get a really high quality fake. But no one is buying the fakes if they can have the real thing. A watch collector sure isn't buying the fake since the movement would play a big part in owning that specific model. You want the same model that went to the moon. Not the plastic version.

Even if the supply of the clone is not constrained, I bet some colours are more popular than others, leading to some natural rarity. And in 50 years if they stop making these things and regular people throw them away, that Pluto watch will be worth more than the Mars and a complete collection will be worth even more. All they have done is create another thing for watch enthusiasts to collect.
There is little doubt that both of those companies are lowering prices because of the data they collect and sell.

so basically the internet
- The search is garbage, and if you are actually able to find what you're looking for, you still can't get the contextual messages around your result.
Is it just me or does the way the lack of features is used as a feature here seem like the 'your holding it wrong excuse'. Just from this essay and never having used Acme, I wonder what advantage the has over other minimalist text editors. I mean if lack of features is the feature why not just use ed.
Note that this is part of a trilogy that hasn't had the third book released and its been 10 years. I doubt it will be out in another 10, so tread with caution if you don't like to wait on a book release. Amazing book though.
> If you're paying attention, you know this will happen at some point. Archive your own shit,

I'm trying to imagine backing up my presence everywhere I go: every comment I write, every reply, every +1/-1. I've definitely lost access to sites unexpectedly a number of times, for things that did not seem like a big deal at the time. And poof, massive pieces of life & time are just gone. The particulars of this fight & this story (or my stupid stories) don't interest me, but that we write ourselves into the digital, and that it can all be closed & taken from us in an instant, far beyond our control is a sick power relation.

I'd like to see a couple things- when sites close/ban accounts, they should provide some kind of download window. Here's your stuff: bye! As it is, it's usually too late. People's content goes up in smoke. "There should probably be a law": this feels like the most minimal basics.

On the other side, when we do post content, I feel like sites should provide cryptographically signed signatures for our content. "Here's our http-signature for your post!" Yes we may delete your post in the future, unhost you, but here's some hard-to-deny math that says you posted it here. Rather than leaving users in eternal jeapordy, this would mean sites- at zero cost- at least have some stake in in the here & now, that a whole history can't just be unwound (just unhosted); ugly though it may be I see denying the past as too cruel to have as common practice. Damnatio Memoriae[1] is not an acceptable common punishment across the internet, for humanity, & for posterity; altering this devil's bargain requires only slightly tweaked technics.

All in all, I'd rather we invert the system, build a better web fabric that starts with rights & gathering & attestation first (on our own properties), & interacts with sites second. The indieweb folk have been talking about POSSE[2] for a long time- Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere- but usually this is through the lens of posts & specific activity: perhaps all web activity just needs to be mediated first, through our own systems & networks, and then sent onward, forward to the targeted social-network second: posts, comments, upvotes, reactions, all of it. This feels like the real archiving fix: making ourselves & our own presences primary, leaving these networks as ancillary concerns, a shadow of what we really are.

Intermediating with our own sovereign systems seems like a necessary step, feels like the only option given how powerless & out of control online systems are for their users.

First our prisons, then our military, and now silencing dissidents - the US likes to privatize its dirty work. Those private actors aren't held to the strict legal constraints created for government actors. This is what Americans call "efficiency."
If it was that easy someone would have done it already. Just for the ad revenue or whatever.
