If you think Google complying with a warrant like that is bad, look into the third party doctrine as it pertains to digital records.
I've also gotten a Framework laptop, and am happily running XFCE on Debian testing.

One thing I'm curious about is how other people are handling the resolution of the screen on Linux? It doesn't seem like XFCE currently supports fractional scaling well, so I ended up defining a custom 3:2 resolution and using that to increase the size of everything by about 1.5x.
Me too. I suspect this is a joke site.
It's possible it's a load issue, as there are legit outputs before it hit the top of HN.
I've been tempted to cobble together a simple GUI that lets you search text, images, sender etc etc. But it would only be desktop since I doubt it would make it through approval for iOS.
True, but it's an enormous miss. If they missed the projections by a few hundred thousand, there wouldn't be as much of a panic. But they only got 8%-11% of the subscriber growth they projected, depending on whether you account for the Russian business wind-down--that's not a trivial miss.

And as others have pointed out, part of the problem that companies like Netflix are going to encounter is the result of the long-running erosion of worker pay (while corporations have had years of record profits), coupled with sudden and rapidly rising inflation. This is going to cause a serious lack of available cash for households to spend on anything that isn't critical--like 37 different streaming services.

The first part, Netflix can't do anything about other than ensure that they pay their workers fairly. But streaming has been an area of increasing specialization, rather than service consolidation. And that causes problems for Netflix as they continue to lose portions of their catalogue to others like Disney, Hulu, Apple, etc., as they start their own services.

Users are either going to just cancel, or will start "service hopping" (where they pay for one service for a month, cancel/suspend that service, then go to another) to be able to watch the shows they want. And that will represent a significant revenue loss to the entire segment, and ultimately force contraction.
In one I've been you can pick a totem (they're all in form of old pocket watches), and they note what time this totem got "checked out" of the reception, and what time it returns, and charge you for the minutes.
Yeah, I'm not sure it would work the same as current SEO spam, but I just feel like some portion of this idea is predicated on mis-aligning incentives. Right now, SEO has no incentive to go after Reddit comments, so Reddit comments are (apparently) higher quality than raw search results. But once search engines start directing people to Reddit comments, the SEO's incentives shift, and it feels like their behavior would change accordingly (although I admit I can't articulate a clear vision of what that new behavior would be), causing the reliability of Reddit comments to plummet.

Maybe it's true that Reddit's moderation is sufficient to prevent this from happening, but I feel like I see a decent amount of SEO-adjacent subreddits already, for things like new crypto pump-and-dumps. Before Reddit removed nsfw subs from r/all, you'd sometimes see a bunch of spam links for OnlyFans sites.

I could imagine a situation where Brave has to try to distinguish good subreddits from bad subreddits and it becomes just as challenging as distinguishing good websites from bad websites.
Psilocybin for depression could help brain break out of a rut, scientists say
No, they wanted him to call the student something he disagreed with. He offered to call them by name and not refer to their sex as I understood it. They wanted him to explicitly participate in the "pronouns" thing, which he disagreed with. There can and should be a difference between being respectful and going along with someone else's "game" even if that's important to them. It's more like asking him to make a positive religious statement, imo, when the respectful thing could just be to say everyone is entitled to their own beliefs.

>they're all built on the idea of creating a fake, unregulated private money out of nothing and then getting people to pay increasing prices for it.

As opposed to our current financial system which is built on the idea of creating real (except when we reeeeally want some extra money, in which case we just make some more), regulated (unless your regulated activity is conducted by an entity that is sufficiently rich or powerful) money and then control a global hegemony with it.

Crypto is not a solution to every problem and it definitely makes some new ones, but it sure would make for an interesting redistribution of power. I think there reaches a point where the levers of the modern currency system are much, much too attractive for human governments to be trusted with.
Bloomberg: Bosses Don't Follow Their Own Advice in Returning to the Office

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-04-19/bosses-do...

While 35% of non-executive employees are in the office five days a week, just 19% of executives can say the same, according to a survey by Future Forum, a research consortium backed by messaging channel Slack.
Consider the possibility that people can like Macs for reasons entirely unrelated to Apple's marketing tactics. Reasons can include things most people would agree are legitimate qualities to look for in computers, like build quality, display quality, keyboard quality, performance, battery life, etc. Those seem to me as more legitimate and less "fanatical" reasons to prefer computers from a particular manufacturer than the reason you provided, which is that you dislike some (certainly not all, and likely a vanishingly small portion) people who also buy computers from that same manufacturer.
Or incentivize the creation of real competition - i.e. don't ignore valid pain points, especially when aggregrated

Emails and tweets asking for upvotes is how Product Hunt is supposed to work.

The signal it provides is filtered against founders who won’t do that kind of necessary dirty work. Necessary in the context of a VC funded startup.

The thesis is a founder who is willing to hype bullshit will tend to produce better returns than a founder who believes themselves above pestering friends and strangers.

It filters out those founders who will only bet on if-you-build-it-they-will-come.

Product Hunt is one of those things I didn’t get because it wasn’t what I thought it was.

I mean I was right that it mostly smelled like a steamy pile of horseshit I was better to avoid.

That semipermeability is its value proposition…at least so far as I can tell.

I think Product Hunt is about identifying founders primarily and products only incidentally.
Because (1) it's more fun discussing conclusions than assumptions and (2) it doesn't matter.

Reddit mostly seeks to be entertaining. It turns out that improv/LARPing is more fun than reading or writing the 100th comment of the day that just questions an OP. We can't know if OP is being truthful or not, so why not just assume it's true and play along.

HN is different and some subreddits focus on being educational. But most are just trying to keep engagement up and don't mind the fakery/scenario-building/theatrics, as long as it's on-topic.
https://audiobites.io/ is giving security risk in FF.
Fair point and I'm not against free public education, but $15k is also a magical fantasy number to get too if you include housing/food/utilities.
Hi all, I'm the author of pdqsort that's credited in the post (to be clear: the authors acknowledged pdqsort at the bottom, I am not associated with the posted work directly). I recently held a talk at my institute on efficient in-memory sorting and the ideas in pdqsort, in case you're interested in hearing some of the theory behind it all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jz-PBiWwNjc

Next week I will hold another talk in the Dutch seminar on data systems design (https://dsdsd.da.cwi.nl/) on glidesort, a new stable sorting algorithm I've been working on. It is a combination of adaptive quicksort (like pdqsort, fully adaptive for many equal elements) and an adaptive mergesort (like timsort, fully adaptive for long pre-sorted runs). It is the first practical implementation of an algorithm I'm aware of that's fully adaptive for both. Like pdqsort it uses modern architecture aware branchless sorting, and it can use an arbitrary buffer size, becoming faster as you give it more memory (although if given a constant buffer size it will degrade to O(n (log n)^2) in theory, in practice for realistic workloads it's just a near-constant factor (c ~<= 3-5) slower).

The source code isn't publish-ready yet, I have to still do some extra correctness vetting and testing, and in particular exception-safety is still not yet fully implemented. This is important because I wrote it in Rust where we must always give back a valid initialized array, even if a comparison operator caused a panic. But I do have some performance numbers to quote, that won't significantly change.

For sorting 2^24 randomly shuffled distinct u32s using a buffer of 2^23 elements (n/2), glidesort beats Rust's stdlib slice::sort (which is a classic timsort also using a buffer of n/2) by a factor of 3.5 times. When stably sorting the same numbers comparing only their least significant 4 bits, it beats stdlib slice::sort by 12.5 times using 6.5 times fewer comparisons, both numbers on my Apple M1 Macbook. All of this is just using single-threaded code with a generic comparison function. No SIMD, no threads, no type-specific optimizations.

Finally, glidesort with a buffer size of >= n/2 is faster than pdqsort.
"Generally it would be fine for me (/us) what people do in their non-work time, but if it affects our work, then it's not acceptable. So how can we identify such a situation?"

I feel like you just answered your own question. If you say you'll be fine with someone working multiple jobs if it doesn't affect their output then why would you need to "identify such a situation"?

Just let people do what they want and evaluate people's output and performance.
Thanks dude!

I've been feeling weird about the design since I launched it, definitely needs a redesign. I've mostly been focused on the newsletter side of things and ignored the website. Thanks for bringing it up - I've pushed it to the top of my todo list.
This is the key part. It's a wiggle word. It's totally subjective. Any person can call any thing "abusive". So giving this concession 100% nullifies free speech. This is why the first amendment doesn't include things like "unless it is abusive".

It is specifically meant to protect the cases which someone may identify as "abusive"
You are not supposed to "internalize" it, internalizing is what will make you suffer endlessly from it. Stoicism is about not caring if you cant change it anyways. Bad things happened, but life goes on.
My journey with Marmite began at a meditation retreat in NZ. The first time I tried it, it was overwhelmingly salty and the smell reminded me of those huge vitamin pills they used to sell when I was a kid (and maybe still do). I wanted to observe my reaction, so I tried it again, and again. By about day 3 I started to enjoy it. The way I describe the flavor is that it's so bad, it wraps around and becomes good again. Like an edible version of "The Room".
You're not seeing the forest for the trees. It doesn't have to be a theoretical neighbor, it could just as easily have been reaching out to hikers that might've been in the area. The point is that someone saw they were there, police figured out who that someone was, and they asked them for that information.

That's fine, but this is not a good reason why your specific MLM should be the one that takes over the world and not the other 9000.
This, like most apps of its kind, struggles from a bootstrap problem. I live in a fairly non-tech-centric area, one where finding a good remote-work spot would be very useful, but because there's limited population of people who frequent both that kind of spot and this kind of site in the area, a site like this is unlikely to have results. It's a reverse network effect of sorts.

Not your fault, frizkyK, but perhaps it's something to chew on. Maybe crawl some maps data to locate "potential" candidates and offer value to a user for evaluating them?

Edit: I see that it's actually already a feature that you've disabled for stability reasons. Interested to see how it behaves once that's resolved.
I mean it takes a while to build up a content library right?

Geoengineering to slow global warming may increase malaria risks
"Radio Australia was switched off, along with the SW rebroadcasts of the various state-wide ABC programs."

In ancient times I worked for RCA in its prototype laboratory who supplied much of Radio Australia's equipment to its Darwin† transmitting station (I would have worked on some of that equipment and my boss was head of the RCA installation team). Its closure, albeit some decades later, always struck me as a foolhardy decision by a stupid penny-pinching government.

If any place needs good AM and shortwave radio services it's Australia, as FM doesn't really hack the pace with such huge distances (and I've also had much to do with FM so my comment is engineering-based and not preferential bias).

As I've mentioned a while back on HN, in the 1970s and pre-Radio National, I could travel from Sydney to Adelaide via Cowra, West Wyalong etc. by car and listen to the ABC all the way without a break (2FC Sydney, 3LO Melbourne and 5CL Adelaide) on the AM Broadcast band. One can no longer do that due to co and adjacent channel interference from other stations as well as the general increase in the noise floor of the AM broadcast band that's occurred since then. Damn nuisance really.

† That said, the Darwin TX was mainly there for Indonesia and bits of Asia that you mentioned although that doesn't detract from my main points.
FYI -- my technical thinking -- because Rust is a nicer language for the people who have to work with it. Full stop.

Rust offers substantial memory safety guarantees, but that isn't the only thing it offers. People who don't know this are those that haven't tried it. Others have focused on security in this thread, and I think that's wrong headed. That's obviously not the reason for choosing Rust here. It's that it makes things that are important now and in the future, like say concurrency, easier and more likely to be correct. Yes, ergonomics and a nice dev experience actually matter even for the people writing your compiler!

Moreover, Rust GCC support is far closer to being a thing that yjit is to being a thing. So -- let the kids play.
I don't know why but I feel your comment is threatening to him.

Also, poor argument.

You’re assuming that loitering people are a negative on the business — which is a mistake that Starbucks made as well, to their detriment.

Starbucks did what you’re suggesting to increase turnover and profit at stores — but the opposite happened: sales dramatically dropped, even though the time to serve a single customer and the average customer stay both dropped.

The issue is that Starbucks doesn’t just sell coffee — they’re a cafe. And cafes are in the business of selling thirdspace, where you create fun memories with friends and family. So when they provided a substantially worse version of that product, it sullied their brand and lowered their overall profit, because people no longer associated coffee at their chain with good times.

Similarly, the owner of a small cafe I used to work from loved the three or four regulars who would come near open and stay all morning — us being visibly chatty in the large storefront windows would draw in more of the nearby joggers than if the store was empty. We were a free living ad that getting coffee there was a fun time and popular with locals.

I think you’re ignoring a lot of ecosystem complexity with your “optimization”.
The relief we are discussing being some partial credits given to a small percentage of loan holders under an existing income-based program?
Paying the minimum amount on time often does better for your credit score than paying the whole thing off, anyway.

The credit score is a number based on you being able to reliably make payments.
That's weird! Just seen. Thanks dude, will remove this.
"Would you send your 5 year old self down the streets of San Francisco or Seattle?"

Yes.

We live in San Francisco, and our kids went to a daycare in the Civic Center. We walked [with the kids] by many homeless people every weekday for years. Our interactions with them were almost universally positive; they'd clear the sidewalk to let kids through, try to keep kids from seeing drug use, chat and share candy, etc. On cold days when our kids would refuse to wear shirts [love that young metabolism], homeless folks would yell out, "Put a jacket on that kid!".

Most homeless people are just people in terrible situations, not boogiemen to be afraid of. Sure, some of them are mentally ill--if they weren't when they became homeless, it can make you so--but that doesn't make them dangerous.

Every assault makes the news, but cities are safer than they've ever been, and I'm very glad to be raising my kids in SF. The public transit and density of services will give them much greater autonomy than if we lived somewhere where you need a car to get anywhere.

My older kid's first errand was at age 5.5, to get a loaf of bread IIRC, from a market 1 block away, crossing 1 street. He was stopped by the police. The cop told him to tell his parents that he was too young to be out alone. No CPS, no arrest, fortunately, and he let my kid complete his errand alone, but that's the biggest danger around our neighborhood, not the homeless. We're not in the Civic Center, granted, but we're still in SF proper.
Do we really want a world where the bankers get to decide what a person studies? Bankers have never gotten anything wrong before.
> no politician will have the guts to do this

There is a grand bargain to be made.

For example: forgive the first $10k of every student loan and offer every taxpayer who paid off their loans a refundable tax credit for the same. In the same stroke, make 10% of loans granted in the year following enactment dischargeable in bankruptcy, limit federal guarantees to 90% of the loan value and reduce subsidies by 10%. That goes to 20% (80%) the next year, 30% (70%) the next, et cetera.

You aren't changing the terms of an extant contract. Lenders and schools have time to adapt. The program pays for itself and then some.
But in practice they use very inefficient engines and still require 2 stages. This leads to their rocket being the same weight for about the same payload as their competitors.

So I guess the question on can ask, whats easier, building a electric powered rocket engine like the Rutherford or building a gigantic electric launch platform.

It also imposes a number of requirements on that rocket structure and the flexibility payload volume. Many payloads are volume limited and most rockets eventually want to have extended fairings, this will be very difficult for them.

Even if they improve their engine performance overtime, it will be practically difficult to actually launch bigger and heavier payloads if you can't increase the volume very much.

That seems to exemplify design by committee. So we'll learn that Uranus has 37% more lightning than we previously thought. I'd much rather see a Europa lander. Better yet, a Europa melt-though-the-ice probe. A solar gravitation lens for exoplanets [1] study fleshed out. A Venus blimp thingy. Mars polar lander. Something with more vision.

While this is true for most vendors, this is not universally true. Lenovo specifically has an S3 BIOS option for some of their Tiger Lake Thinkpads (since they're Linux certified), although as you mention, it isn't always perfect: https://forums.lenovo.com/topic/view/27/5089860

There can be lots of EC/BIOS issues for suspending, IMO it's one of the best arguments for going for a Linux-first vendor (Tuxedo, System 76, Slimbook, etc), as you know that their top priority should be to get basic stuff working on Linux.
Link doesn't load, so with only the title to go on...

It feels like it's implying that sincere is the opposite of cynical? But someone (me) could be sincerely cynical. Or falsely optimistic.

In any case, signaling sincerity sounds a bit like fighting for peace, and doesn't give me high hopes for this article whenever we do get to find out what it says.

(It _is_ sort of fun to have this playground though, where we can all just freely admit we didn't read the article, and riff off the title alone)
Does anyone have a recommendation for a remote desktop software for Linux? Specifically one that also supports using a browser, video, etc. RDP (server) with proper GPU acceleration works great for this, but unfortunately is Windows only.
regardless, if that law is still on paper, it will be used against people, if not for just being homosexual, then as a cover for some other agenda. All countries have such laws that are practically unenforced but when the government wants "to teach somebody a lesson", these laws are the first ones brought out of their arsenal.
Thanks for checking - I thought it would be a strange thing to do given the product messaging.
> That's a pretty American, libertarian take.

I'm not American. This take tends to come out of countries where the government has strayed away from its objective of serving the people. There are plenty of governments I'd trust, and not hold a libertarian view towards. Funny enough, most of these are European governments, so your point is well taken. That said, using the state to solve this problem isn't universally going to work. I bet Nordic nations could pull it off, if they've not already.

In short: if the government doesn't work for the people, and is structurally broken, I hold a libertarian perspective. If I see a government that works for the people, I lean neoliberal.

This is neat! Small (I guess it’s a bug?): in NYC it lists Bellevue Hospital on 1st Ave in Manhattan as a “space,” which I guess technically it is, but I’m not sure they want you working from the lobby of the hospital.
