I still quite like the idea of having a number of independent search engines each indexing their own specialist subjects, and one or more federated search front-ends which can pull these together.

Doing it with APIs is a little tricky to make work in a usable way though. There have been various attempts at standardised APIs, e.g. OpenSearch[0], and metasearch engines like searX[1] have what are essentially pluggable scrapers, but there are still fundamental issues like getting different results at different times and having different ranking mechanisms.

Integrating at the index level could make a more usable search, but there are lots of other issues with this approach, e.g. those experienced with Apache Solr's Cross Data Centre Replication[2]. And yes, the volumes of data may also be an issue, given a search index will typically be slightly larger than the compressed data size, e.g. the 16M wikipedia docs are approx 32Gb compressed and approx 40.75Gb in a search index.

> I was a die-hard liberal progressive two years ago, before I had savage children on drugs waging running melees with rocks and trying to rape each other's girlfriends in front of my house all night.

I don’t understand this. It would make me more progressive if I saw that. What are the economic, political, social forces that are causing that? Is it that we are a fair country that treats people with dignity? Or is it that we are Country with a huge separation of wealth that doesn’t mind letting people suffer in homelessness.

It sounds like it’s not that scene, but your wealth, that made you less progressive, and wanted to protect it that caused you to become less progressive.

Where do you think the people causing all the crime come from? Why do people commit crime? I’m pretty sure people don’t commit crime when their lives are going great. And I’m sure it’s the same thing with drug addiction.

And the people that run Portland? They’re not progressive, not in the least.

Threatening a man who is beating a dog in your front yard with a gun does not make you conservative, it makes you caring. Don’t buy into the paradigm that if you own a gun you are suddenly conservative. That’s just propaganda both sides want to live inside of you.
This exactly the mindset at Barclays in the UK except we are a globally distributed across 5 offices. When they started their back to office nonsense they caused an exodus on our team in Glasgow and now we are all working fully remote for for 50% more money
> I already already asked which specific patent needs to be canceled for your belief (hope?) to become true.

Why do you find "all of them" answer to be unsatisfactory? Development of same or similar technologies by entities other than E-ink is possible only under one condition: those entities are safe from patent infringement lawsuit. With only a few specific patents expire/get knocked down somehow it would still be impossible to find investors bold enough.

> Yes. But how is that related to what I asked about? ... Because expensive based on what calculation?

You've made an analogy with Windows and I've offered an explanation of why OEM licence of Windows preinstalled on a notebook isn't seen as expensive, unlike e-ink screen of a €900 picture frame.

> It has nothing to do with patents.

Well, you might be right. Maybe it's impossible to manufacture e-paper screens at a significantly lower price point. Maybe it's inherent to this specific technology and no amount of competition and investment will be able to fix it. But we will not know it for sure any time soon. Because of patents.
Lol wtf - you don't think people have a right to their own thoughts and perceptions? I have no words. A mess indeed - but not on my side. Enjoy your next brainwashing session, as that seems to be your thing.
I will be interested to see how this interacts with the Ampel Koalition's desire to add more restrictions on state-sponsored hacking (search term, "Staatstrojaner" [1]). The current government coalition contract includes "increasing controls" and "higher thresholds" for their use (my translation), which would signal a shift in German federal policy _at least slightly_ away from state-sponsored hacking, which was very favored by the previous government.

It's probably also worth mentioning that these Staatstrojaner haven't really demonstrated effectiveness. It's an extremely common refrain on the Netzpolitik scene here that we would all be much, much better served if the government were compelled to responsibly disclose the bugs used in these tools to the companies producing the software, instead of trying to keep them quiet in order to weaponize them. But I suspect this argument is basically preaching to the choir at HN. For German speakers, I would highly recommend following both Netzpolitik and Lage der Nation; the former is self-explanatory but the latter also frequently talks about digital policy in Germany.

Edit: a clarifying point here, as far as I understand, FinFisher is *not* a state-owned company (that would be big news!), but rather a normal GmbH (like an LLC) that develops and sells Staatstrojaner. As such I think the line in the title ("German State Malware Company") strikes me as inaccurate in both English and a hypothetical German->English translation.

Side note, I know metacommentary isn't typically considered entirely kosher on HN, but some threads I'm seeing pretty high up in the discussion here are really not meeting the quality standards I would expect from HN. Calling the current German chancellor Scholz a "criminal" with "buddies", and a follow-up thread that can be summed up as "I think the EU is so corrupt that it only looks after its own politicians" -- all of this with absolutely no evidence -- is so frustratingly hyperbolic and reductionist that it has me (in all seriousness) wondering what level of exposure HN has to state-level disinformation actors.
> Big difference between board members and stockholders.

Completely agree, but in small/medium size companies (no public stock etc), these are often the same people. In many cases it's completely obvious who (which humans) that have done something wrong, but since we still accept that the legal entity under which they operated no longer exists; you're stuck.

A problem where I live (Norway) has been that people register companies to build apartment buildings, then immediately dissolve the company once the apartments are sold. The people who buy those flats better pray that there is nothing wrong with them, as there is basically nowhere to turn if there is.
compress has less throughput, and probably a decent bit more latency. It would save offsetting the result pointer by the leading zero count, but I don't think that'd be enough to compensate for the slower compress. I don't know where regular masked store is done in the pipeline though, so maybe it has its own latency comparable to that of compress, but I doubt it.
It's actually pretty easy to fire people in government jobs. The problem is its uncomfortable to have hard conversations. Most government jobs are so far away form service delivery that they are very abstract. This makes the impact of lazy people seem insignificant. However, if you look at government with more of a service delivery focus, think FEMA. You wouldn't see many people who just laze about because the work is right there in front of them and they can link their work with outcomes in the real world. When you write policy or work in some meat grinder paperwork mill or even do just regular ICT sys admins corporate services stuff everything starts to get blurry.

Anyway, the rules and processes exists. Essentially PIP someone, explain and document expectations, and follow up. And you know what, most of the time, people can improve.

The same thing for me. I go to another city and pay a visit for a week, but say I need to be available on Teams from 9 to 5 and attend some meetings, and get some work done. Usually it slows me down a little, so I do some extra prep work before the visit and catch up when I return home. It's like a little vacation without taking time off.

I choose to know some people better than others. Nobody has the right to demand my time and waste it with being forced to "know about" their fake persona they want to present.

You are also clearly imagining things, I never said I would be against getting to know people or colleagues. I am against enforced individual rulebooks.
Its not unverified. It's trust based on the email domain and hopefully DMARC etc. That's an ok trust model, it proves the request is coming from a government agency. In my opinion the issue is that police forces are not securing their email properly, which is a big issue, but not necessarily the tech companies fault. Domain ownership is the trust model of the internet after all.
Koin is a kotlin DSL. So no annotations, reflection, or compiler magic are needed. Basically it just instantiates things for you on demand and uses normal kotlin features like lambda functions, receiver objects, and property delegation.

You can inject a property by defining it as a koin injected property:

class SomeClass {
val foo by koinContext.inject<Foo>()
}

And this is how you could create your koin context:

class Bar()
class Foo(bar: Bar)

val myModule = module {
single { Bar() }
// get() knows the type from the argument position at compile time
// and it looks the object from the context by type
single { Foo(get()) }
}

// trigger this in your main or at application startup
startKoin {
modules(myModule)
}

// if you want to use inject, you can use a global variable for getting at the context
val koinContext by lazy { GlobalContext.get() }

Modules can be tied to life cycles on Android and there are a few more features like being clever about co-routine scopes. But there's not a lot more to it in terms to using it. Very simple code to write. Low overhead. It's all just function calls.

Spring has a similar kotlin bean dsl that was added a while ago that you can use as an alternative to annotation processing (which is much slower).
> But the thing is that the pay is good, that I'm of an age prone to experiencing ageism in the job market, and also this is a place where I have ample slack for tuning my output and inmerse myself in side projects or personal improvement, so their loss...

None of those points prevent you from looking to see what other jobs are available and applying for any that look interesting. Who knows, you might find something that is better on all counts. Worst case scenario you don't find anything better, which will mean you're no worse off than you are already, you learned a few things in the interview processes, and maybe the knowledge that your current role is better than various alternatives you looked at makes things seem a bit more tolerable where you are now?

This thread was not about deductions, but about the government pre-filling your tax-returns with data it already has about you. Parent was implying that does not exist in Germany, which isn't true. Or are you actually saying that the government will deliberately fill in wrong values, so that you have to pay higher taxes, even though the prefilled values are visible to you and discrepancies would be obvious (and a huge scandal).
You are just completely clueless, I don't think you even understand what I am talking about.

> There are legit uses, e.g. governments

I'm astonished that there are so many people here that are willing to defend government use of malware.

Malware is software deliberately designed to cause devices to malfunction. Since when is it legitimate for any government to deliberately break the property of a private citizen who hasn't been convicted of any offence, without at least a court order?
I use Elm but not Typescript. I also write plain javascript intensively. I've seen languages adding static type layer after the fact they are dynamic type. They never end well, lots of edge case here and there, it becomes a problem rather than helper. Static type lang needs to think from start how they will compose nicely, what's pure, what's effect etc. However, the ship has sailed, I don't actually want to debate on this, because web tech is becoming a cult.

I now would have to take a plane to go to the office so I am now 100% remote but in my previous company they implemented hybrid for those who wanted and the idea was that the conference rooms were to be used for those being on site and the rest of the team would be remote. All rooms had been equipped with decent audio and camera that made the process seamless. People who wanted to be there 3 days a week or more could have a fixed office and leave belongings, other would have to reserve a shared one and work in a clean desk method.

No company can expect having an hybrid system work without a little bit of investment and some decent guidelines. With so many space gained in the offices there is a lot of space to liberate to build more small conference rooms and some storage area for those who don't have a fixed desk but may wish to keep things on site.

That won‘t align with the never break the user mantra. And honestly I hate these timebomb solutions some API vendors put up. In a never breaking system you can‘t remove anything only add things or change stuff internally to make it work like before. They never said to get rid of /dev/random or /dev/urandom just that both would practically be the same. From reading about the problem and the different usecases and expectations it looks like it will stay like this for another decade or more.
Especially TCHM because I really had them at a higher level in my opinion and to spend 10 minutes trying to figure out what's wrong here only to find out afterwards that it was a stupid dark pattern drops them right out of the bracket of 'benign' into 'hostile'. This is the sort of thing that you break exactly once, and I really wonder which 2 bit marketeer thought that destroying the reputation of TCHM was ok.

If you just listen to the music at your home, it's ok. If you go to the show and the performance is poor, you feel you're missing something. If the singer is just dubbing, you'll feel fooled if you expected the real thing.

Some say that even in this case what's worth is the performance, the "experience". But if you find out that they were stunts with pre-record music, your "experience" vanishes.

Cheating is one of those things that depends on your expectation.

It sounds like you have some usability issues.

You have a Sketch like lifetime current version + 1y of updates model?
I don't think the model is confusing, but it probably it isn't very clear (at least on the website). The only place I see it mentioned is in small print on the checkout.

I would look into:

- How you can better inform people about the license before they purchase

- How to better inform people at the time of updating/end of license

You are correct in that a message generally isn't sufficient. There are many alternatives, for example prompt them with three options: renew license, switch to free, cancel. Then reconfirm, for example "are you sure to downgrade, you will loose features X, Y, Z". Check out how others do it, and maybe do some user testing.

If people actually want updates forever, a subscription model might just be better. I think the complaints about subscriptions on hackernews are not per se representative, nor reasonable. Personally I prefer subscriptions (if reasonably priced of course). Why not just charge $23/year? It seems like a fair price.

Last summer I had a psychadelic-assisted therapy session with MDMA and a guide (along with integration session after the main experience). It was one of the more powerful experiences of my life, and has led to sustained positive change in my life.

The experience itself was at a hotel room I had booked. For just under six hours, I lay on the bed with an eye mask and headphones playing instrumental music picked by my guide. MDMA is commonly known as a party drug but under different settings and with different intentions, it had the power to turn to yourself examine yourself and your life in a state of love free of the fear and anxiety that we often feel in life. At least for me, this produced clarifying insights about myself and my life which have persisted long after the session.

Very excited to see progress being made for the use of MDMA to treat PTSD, and hopefully a broader class of people beyond that.
The idea that "it doesn't really matter" is interesting to me. That's what I understood when starting out; years later I'm still writing the same language(s) because at a certain point you'd be (possibly) taking a paycut to switch to a role where you're learning a new language.
You literally described what addiction is in reference to MDMA. And this is going to be the problem with the drug for treating mood disorders. Just like Prozac, it will stop working And you will need a larger dose for the same action.

Just because you don’t actively go out and seek for a drug does not mean you are not addicted (conditioned)to it.
No, they shouldn’t.
In such cases, where it is totally clear that the people in charge of that business acted in bad faith I'm all for going after them in person. A good building company either insures against such risks or they create a warranty fund. An even worse example would be a builder going bankrupt during the building. This is one of the reasons I've never bought a new house, it either exists and you can sell it to me or you can try to sell it to someone else first but I'm not going to assume that kind of risk.

It’s also actively counter-productive: if they wanted to do this sort of tracking, they could just have done what all of their competitors do and send the data straight to their servers. This is hardware (and thus expenses) which is only necessary because of their stance on privacy, and avoiding off-device work.

Ukraines military has changed drastically since the war that started in 2014. They have made many changes, moving away from the old Soviet style system and to a more western system for the military along with upping military pay and training. I also don't think that Ukraines military is overly 'ill-equipped' but its more that its fighting an army much bigger then itself, and one so incompetent that its going through ATGM's and MANPAD's so fast that its literally impossible to keep up.
