I was at a friends house, he was starting GameOfThrones. I was like "you going to cancel hbo after??" He explained he was pirating. But! He is non technical (a nurse by trade). I was very confused asked to see his setup. He walked over to small black box under his tv. I was fascinated. It was a raseberry pi enclosure with hdmi out, it was prepackaged - networking p2p software for looking up stolen items, a UI better than netflix. All he did was take it out of the box, plug in the HDMI, and start watching UNLIMITED content on any streaming service I have heard of.
If the plaintext password traverses the server's memory space then yes it "knows" the plaintext password. A nefarious server administrator can do whatever they want with those plaintext passwords.
I’m just pointing out the unsurprising coincidence that he is a German speaker repeating falsehoods German leadership is peddling to Germans exclusively in the German language.

Nowhere else in the world will you see anyone pushing the lie that Ukraine isn’t being supplied with heavy weapons.

I really don’t know how you can spin this into an attack. sschueller is simply a victim of propaganda, that’s not an unreasonable thing to point out. I just added useful context to the outrageous lie he is spreading.

Let me remind you of the principle of charity (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...)

Reading my comment as a personal attack is miles away from the most charitable interpretation.
This looks cool! It would be nice if there was a little more info on the page about how it works and any potential limitations. For example, does the page have to remain in the foreground? And if it does work in the background, will it still work if the browser unloads the page from memory?
The first time I encountered Urbit was here on HN. I visited their website and had a great time reading through the available marketing and documentation. The whole time I was completely convinced that Urbit was an elaborate, high-effort parody of crypto scams, pyramid schemes, new-age technobabble, and neo-feudalist ideology.
Only when I was nearing the end of the docs did I begin to doubt this conclusion.

Urbit, in my mind, remains an example of Poe’s law. I still can’t quite square that there are people who take it seriously.
Makes you wonder what the thinking was to coin the acronym FAANG in the first place (at the expense of Microsoft no less)
Well, switching to a new word isn't going to make anyone happy if what they're really upset by is that the underlying concept exists.
PG-13 has a wide enough range these days to be entirely meaningless. There is no harm in taking a 7-10 year old to see an Avengers film, IMO, but of course I wouldn't say the same for the Dark Knight trilogy.
I haven't looked at that before. But for what it's worth, I confirm that if I navigate to the web app on my phone, navigate to the HTML version, and repeatedly click to ignore gmail's suggestions to use the mobile app, then it is in fact possible to send plaintext email from my phone.

I don't think this is a suitable replacement for an email app. For example, this is an extremely inconvenient way to check email, and having to use a different process to check and read email is too much friction. But this does seem like a workaround to send a plaintext email.

Do you think its feasible to build a network that is not oversubscribed? Do you think the current cost of Internet subscriptions could pay for a network that is not oversubscribed?

Netflix and others for sure do not pay a lot for their Internet connection, they do not really have one in this context. Most of the traffic comes from their CDN nodes, these are place directly inside ISPs own network (a server with multiple 10Gbit connections), they do not pay the ISPs a lot for this as its also a large benefit for the ISP since otherwise this traffic would come over peering instead and would have to travel further as CDN nodes can be geographically distributed.

The TCO of the ISPs network investments and operation is paid by their end customers, the current low cost is only possible if their network is oversubscribed.

All these things are simply solved by having a competitive market, countries that have that pay much less in Internet subscription costs. Competition is enabled by municipal networks (the ones here do not offer their own Internet service, they put down fiber when other stuff needs to be put in the ground, then let ISPs connect to their network), or by forcing ISPs to share last mile connections to other ISPs.
Yep and the sad thing is to see it most apparent in "conservative" voices, when traditional conservativism was most specifically about this moral fiber, community service, and something "greater than yourself" in one's church, town, nation, etc.

I'm not a conservative, myself, but it's kinda crazy to watch from a distance. Especially in the current context of watching Ukrainians fighting on the battlefield, Poles giving up half their homes, etc. to refugees from Ukraine, etc.

EDIT: also, it isn't restricted to the USA. It has been on full display here in Canada, and in Europe as well.
Datomic is elegant and it has some interesting properties like temporal. This is a huge win for many cases where business logic needs them (e.g. finance). I think it would make more sense for clients also running JVM. I don't have much experience with it but it looks very good. -- a SQL engine dev
No, it's the union job to do that for sure.

I'm only here to pop the balloon on the consumer's perception that "it's not theft." there's a face and a name that goes along with that theft. Thousands of them.
> You don't and they screech about the resulting sprawl as development becomes more diffuse.

Highways create urban sprawl, they don't prevent it.

> the cognitive dissonance it takes to argue that raised highways and highway pits cut through neighborhoods but not let out a peep when it's subway and tram lines doing the same should disqualify one from voting.

But a subway/tram line is completely different from a highway. Trains can move an order of magnitude more people/stuff, don't result in local air pollution, don't create a lot of noise, don't result in road accidents that kill people and destroy property. And that's even before you realise that a subway is underground so you don't need to tear apart neighborhoods to build them and you basically wouldn't know it's there.
Poppycock. Political issues in media have always included cultural and social issues, it's just that they now span a larger universe that includes more than white male Christians.

> We don't have to suffer like cattle under it.

Most cattle don't suffer from aging. Beef cattle are usually killed in their first year or two. Dairy cows live longer, but tend to be killed after their milk output drops enough (which I guess you could call aging, but they could live for many more years after that).

If you're proposing fighting aging, but against a backdrop of euthenization, ala Logan's Run, I'm in, but we'll need to rebuild the Dallas mall everyone lives in. But if it's trying to get the general population to have a life expectency of 100+, I'm not sure that's a grand plan.
Carlin was a genius and ahead of his time.
I'm more than old enough to have a 13-year old offspring without any age-of-consent laws being broken¹, and I distinctly remember there been dark tones in comic books and² related cartoons back in my youth. It isn't a new thing.

I suspect that either there is some selective memory going on here, or the writer's parents were very careful about what parts of the comics world they were exposed to.

As Firefox (& I think Safari too) does not support the ScreenWakeLock API are you using NoSleep.js? https://github.com/richtr/NoSleep.js

This library implements a hack and plays a very tiny video in a loop too. This should even work on mobile devices and (according to my personal&tiny tests) is not that inefficient as it sounds :)
> There is a difference between the plaintext password being stored in memory and in a database.

Yes, if you already got in, then reading RAM for active users is much more convenient than exfiltrating a bunch of potential trash accounts.
There is a very good solution to that: have a Google Meets or whatever room that is always open and that anyone can join when they feel alone (maybe team based).

For some people just seeing the faces of co-workers while working can help quiet a lot to not feel alone. Plus they can see you working so you feel social control. It is also super easy to have a quick chat whenever you want to as you can see who is in deep concentration and who is available.

People that don't feel like being social can stay out of it. In practice, nobody is fully extroverted or introverted, so people can do whatever mixes their current needs. DO NOT MAKE IT REQUIRED. That will ruin it.

I am always shocked that people still haven't figured out how to do remote properly.

Put yourself in the shoes of your average content moderator. Aren't they there for the paycheck like most people at their jobs? Why does everyone assume these people are first and foremost bastions of acceptable behaviour? They are instructed by executives as to how to do their jobs. Now executives are learning nuance and say "oh there's more to this than you thought, so here's the updated guidelines to follow now", to shift blame for this broken system to the moderators when all along they were following orders from above.
We suggest you replace the word angry with pleased.
The easy explanation for this is that adults, with the disposable income that they never had as children, are good consumers of products they couldn’t previously afford. Nostalgia sells.

You bemoan the consumption of video games and superhero fiction as low value content. And you don’t blame their formats, but their content. But is that right? Past generations were dominated by all sorts of cheap, disposable entertainment- soap operas, radio shows, pulp fiction. What do yearly superhero films resemble? The serial films that arrived at the beginning of cinema. Is this base content really so much baser than the entertainment of the past?
If I understand correctly the air purifier you linked to is exactly one of those ionizing air purifiers producing unintended unresearched chemicals.

HEPA purifiers aren't trash, they are simply producing trash. For me that is a lesser evil to producing potentially dangerous chemicals in my home. Just like I accept using FFP2-masks that aren't reusable in contrast to cloth masks used at the start of the pandemic. There are other places where saving trash is has less negative impact than health products.
> at least at an end-user level

I'd say that the most popular option at the end-user level today is a whole level of abstraction above: using Python w/ PyTorch (or less frequently, TensorFlow).

Combined with CuPy and cuNumeric, which is available at https://developer.nvidia.com/cunumeric and handles scaling to multiple machines with Python-written code, through the Legate
runtime (https://nv-legate.github.io/legate.core/README.html). This covers a huge amount of what the CUDA userbase uses.
Encountering this aspect of the culture war always makes me wonder why are tech companies so focused on these gender minorities and not, say, on the disabled groups. There are more blind, deaf, mute (etc, etc) people in the US than transgender people who will bear a child. It would be equally incoherent to attempt to replace all usages of “see”, “hear” with “perceive”.
It's really about the repeat plays. The game service Steam is successful because you "own" something after spending, without paying a recurring fee.
These people certainly don't always get paid for reviews. Loopop is very transparent about whether he was given something for free or bought it himself (though I don't know if he does the latter as much anymore, his reviews are basically tutorials that are as interesting after you get the thing as when deciding what to get). Loopop has reviewed both Monome and Organelle products, which are open source and about as indie as it gets.

Elektron is a major player and this is a very "big" product launch as far as synths go. (Though I think that says more about the market than it does about Elektron.)
I will happily take your money and provide you with a new, identical copy of it if that's the deal you want to make.
He is very broadly shunned not for "right-wing blogging", but for being a white supremacist. This is how society is supposed to work; people get to choose who they associate with, and no good person chooses to associate with white supremacists.
So... essentially you have to go around hoops in the way you communicate internally?
LEL.
so far out of touch, that somebody had to explain to them there are people in the world who are discriminated against, but aren't black.

Sounds preposterous, but is not. I had a boss around 2000 who believed wholeheartedly that people brought from Africa to the United States were the only slaves that ever existed in history anywhere on Earth.

This came up because someone noted in passing conversation that an anniversary was coming up related to the Atlantic slave trade in the 1600's, and my boss insisted that there couldn't have been slavery before 1776, because slavery was started by the United States.

I walked out of the break room early in the conversation and decided to let the others handle it. She was my boss, and I would have gotten fired for contradicting her.
I’m pretty sure it’s x86 that is weird in having a strong memory model, most other architectures (including ARM) are weak.

The most hilarious thing about this is that Google has used "AI" to create the most un-inclusive tool of all, Google Translate.

I present you the beautiful translation of hungarian gender-less sentences to english:

There is a large difference in attack surface there, though:

Passwords stored unhashed in a database fail catastrophically and irrevocably against a point-compromise attacker. Hashed passwords, validated using plaintext passwords, only leak all passwords entered since the moment of compromise.
I was pretty scarred by the first Saw movie, even though I only made it about halfway through the first torture scene. I don't understand why people want to subject themselves to that kind of psychological violence.
My dad's favourite hobby was tinkering on cars. I don't honestly see much difference between me playing video games and tinkering on my PC than him driving and getting his hands greasy. My grandfather's was walking around in the woods hunting or sitting in a boat fishing. Why are those mature and virtuous, while my love of games infantilizing? Are video games innately childish due to their medium? Is a comic book movie actually that much more childish than Die Hard or James Bond?
Silly question: ignoring any kind of history, why fight for terms like "whitelist" and "blacklist" when terms like "allowlist" and "blocklist" are objectively clearer, especially for folks who's first language is not English?
I was terribly skeptical to Steam when it launched, as I am to all online/hosted services. What if they just remove a game I'm using? Does all my games stop working if they turn off their servers? Am I really going to have to be online whenever I want to play?

But I gave in after several years, and now I'm a quite happy Steam user on Linux. It works as advertised, and the only issue I have is that I haven't found a way to filter games for «Linux support» and a genre at the same time. I've used EXT4 and BTRFS as file systems while using Steam, and never had any issues with that either.

I'm inclined to agree with Gabe. I've never spent as much money on games as after I got Steam. It makes it really easy to get a new game. Without Steam, I'd probably just go without. I have lots of things to spend my time on, and sometimes I'm even a little bit bummed that wasting time on games is an option on Linux these days...

The problem IMO is deeper than this superficial take. My view is that the hopelessness that has invaded much of modern life is soaking into all aspects of media. Star Trek which was a Utopia is now a dystopia. The most recent Batman was grim dark and even the Marvel stuff with it's coating of Disney sprinkles isn't super positive.
> a movie designed to scare and sadden him—a movie actively hostile to people like him

Superhero hater jumps a shark? I'm pretty sure there's nothing in marketing-driven Marvel or DC about intentionally being hostile to an audience.

This theme pervades the piece, a sort of self-created victimhood combined with a sense of entitlement.
The bad thing is that the 7 year old will get bored and fall asleep halfway through the movie.

The PG-13 movies are optimized for an older audience, and that leaves children with fewer, lower quality options for entertainment.

You are correct about that. PBS tends to have more material with wider diversity.

Great info thanks.
Interesting. Yeah the reason I felt some concern was that I listen to the YouTube channel linked in the last two videos a lot and I get the impression that animal products create lots of long term health risks.

But I’m thinking about my vegan diet. When I started I relied on a LOT of carbs and grains. It just made it easy but it wasn’t very healthy (I made a hard switch before I really knew what to eat). Now four years in I don’t buy any bread or bagels. I don’t have bread in the house.

I eat some brown rice. I don’t know if that disagrees with you.

Here’s my daily diet:

2 liters (I usually eat less/day) blended in a vitamix blender: water, carrots, oat milk, blueberries, mango, strawberries, peaches, flax seed meal, chia seeds, protein powder, powdered peanut butter (PB2),

For lunch I have a big salad,

I snack on apples and some very healthy crackers (Mary’s crackers)

Dinner is usually either a lentil vegetable curry mixed with brown rice, or I will have brown rice and sautéed vegetables with something like peanut sauce or teriyaki sauce.

And that’s it! That’s what I eat pretty much every day. Oh I make some bomb vegan tacos now and then. No fake meat just lots of amazing plants.

Anyway! I just wanted to share because I like this stuff and also I don’t eat a lot of grains. The brown rice could be replaced with lentils or something for pretty much no grains.

I really like the Nutrition Facts YouTube channel so poke around there if you’d like.

I see he has some videos on

Anecdotally I have seen this in person at a large tech startup.

The recruiting team was all women, mainly white, and they were incredibly cliquey. Every hire was a woman. Men were turned down with vague excuses like “not a culture fit.”

All while aggressively pushing DEI initiatives and interventions on the tech side.

I don’t think the irony of this ever crossed their minds.
Just out of curiosity, do they get deprived of the income when I download the content, or when I watch it?

Do they lose more income if I watch the content with friends?

In the early days of photography, people believed that if your photo was taken, it was stealing your soul [1].

I can understand the idea of piracy being wage theft in the same way I can understand the idea of photography being soul theft, but I think both are rather silly ideas.

I’m not a manager. But I do think it’s useful to apply a realpolitik kind of analysis here. Taking Zoom calls for a living is hell. People in power do not voluntarily consign themselves to hell.
Yep, a fresh start with no association to the founder, and ditching the obfuscations that are not useful while keeping the best ideas, would be interesting.
whitelist and blacklist are lazy language, even if you ignore the fact that you personally are not bothered by them and you don't have the mental capacity to understand why someone else might be. They carry no intrinsic meaning, and if you can't come up with more descriptive language you are the problem. In all cases you can come up with a better word - include, deny, allow, block, ban, accept, etc. It all depends on what you are actually talking about. Enjoy your high paying job a Truth Social (I bet!).
> Mostly boil down to making better stuff for cheaper.

I wonder if they'd be better off making better quality content, but less of it.
> The reason these companies keep faltering is that they push cloud-based and/or locked in product ecosystems.

There is a bigger reason - what problem do they solve? How much money and/or time will using their products save me? The one area where there might be worthwhile savings is smart thermostats, but could 90% of those savings be accomplished with an offline thermostat with a timer?

I didn't cancel Netflix yet (have been thinking about it as I find that sometimes I just watch it for hours, and it's kind of a waste of life). I can say for sure, if they introduce ads, I'm leaving, I won't pay for watching ads, sorry.
War crimes are war crimes, nothing justifies those ever. Stuff has to be really nasty to still be considered a crime during times actively killing other people is completely legal and the main activity, aka war.
The workforce's income is contractually tied to the amount of post box office profit the film makes. When you steal a show you get the entertainment value without cost of your money. That is directly reflected in my income.
