> I have yet to reach a page where I can submit the URLs to be removed. I consider myself a neophyte technologist, since I just started a few decades ago with punch cards.

Internet literacy is probably unrelated to punch card literacy.

I followed the link in the article (from kreb) to the google blog post announcing it:

https://blog.google/products/search/new-options-for-removing...

That linked to this form:

https://support.google.com/websearch/troubleshooter/9685456?...

First you tell them what the info it (eg address Pcture SSN etc). Assuming it matches what is in the announcements as a supported type, you get an inline form asking for your name/email, then a URL to the offending site(s), query terms on google search that yield the site(s), and then optionally screenshots of the content.

After, you click a button saying you’re legally the person you’re saying you are. I don’t have data to submit in the form so i don’t know what happens next but it looks like the end. Are you sure you didn’t just submit a successful request and they redirected you to the landing page?

Disclosure: I work at G but didn’t know this existed until I heard from Kreb.

I'm going to try getting my kids to make some simple games with godot this summer, and learn GDScript along with them.
I agree. I’d love to read about how they plan to monitor and react to such risks instead of just saying “nothing will go wrong!”
It is simple and I do like it, but I also worry that the counterparty can simply not accept your comment and always have the last word.

So there is a reduced incentive to invest your time in writing a reply.
Couple quick notes:

You could get a lot of the (arguable) benefits with less transportation costs and a whole lot fewer political/legal problems by doing it in, say, Merced County.

I would never tolerate ads in my commit history. That's ridiculous.

It's basically using open source repos as an advertising platform for their static-analysis bot.

If they want to offer services, they can reach out to the maintainers. This is different than a human opening a valid PR on a OS repo since the commit message includes an ad and now they're advertising on HN.

The 35h workweek is quite common in companies with an "IG Metal Tarifvertrag" in place, most companies in the automotive industry and their supplying industries provide such contracts, but also a lot of medium size companies... Don't expect FANG salaries ;)

Yes this is quite simple. Cops can use deadly force to defend themselves and the public. If you’re threatening a cop or the public you’re increasing your own odds of getting hurt.

I'd suggest to build a game on Roblox. It's easily accessible through Roblox Studio, it's well documented, it has a young and welcoming community, and it teaches you a lot about client-server architecture. Plus, it comes with tons of freely available assets, you can invite others to work collaboratively, and you can publish your work and get some feedback from friends and family. I feel like Lua is kind of an exotic programming language but it works well in this environment.
(NB: Since your son is 18 this probably doesn't apply, but I'll comment here in case it's useful for others with younger children.)

My 7 year old has gotten into programming through her iPad.

In particular, she uses:

- Tynker
- code.org
- Swift Playgrounds

All three have well-considered tutorial material. Tynker is the one she's most excited about, and the one she's currently spending the most time in. Some of the stuff she's cooked up without any help from her dad... really brings a smile to my face.

I'm old enough to have learned programming on a C64 -- BASIC first, then 6510. Back then, the game was to understand the machine and figure out how you could coax it to do new things. Today, so much programming feels like stringing together black (or at least dark gray) boxes, and hoping that the resulting value is greater than the mental overhead of managing said boxes.

Tynker/code.org/Swift Playgrounds hearken back to the immediacy and narrowness that I loved from the old C64 days. My daughter seems to genuinely be learning from them. That moment when she really "got" variables and loops... big moment!
>You can't riot when you perceive insults to you religion or ethnicity and be civilized in the west. It's not tolerated behavior. This is how we manage our multipolar societies with a variety of stakeholders.

I am not pro riots if they've been out of the blue like that.
but I don't think any news media have mentioned the details of the escalation and I am not buying into any story the Swedish media / police / government pushes.

>This is a feature, just because you don't see or understand the purpose does not mean it serves no purpose.

I am aware a civil society doesn't work like that, but I would assume the police started the aggressive actions, in such a case I think it's justified.

because that's what people do in a civil society when the police and the government stands against them.

The same way you can get fined or taken to jail if you mock national symbols of some countries like France for example.
the only difference is that the first is done by people and the second is done by the legal system, which is also people, but their actions are absolutely morally justified as being 'lawful'.

I don't condone riots unless they're systematic, don't harm innocents, and are merely done to cost the government for their actions and are a sign of protesting.

That's my personal stand on the subject and I think it's pretty much Islamic as people aren't encouraged to be chaotic or savages in Islam.

If you do wonder: How can we manage these savages? just let them alone in peace, stay respectful ( not even to them just to their religion ) and if you have any reasonable question and by any I mean literally "any" just ask it, nobody is going to attack you or hurt you by any means, quite the opposite, if you are attacked they might come and help to stop it.
What's the secret sauce? you just understand that a holy book is called a holy book for a reason, and the same way you are ready to die for your values, people and nation they are ready to die for their religion.

find that so hard to do, vote to pass a bill for their mass deportation and done.
or sign a petition and show them that the majority refuse them staying in the country and I think people will gladly leave, if they don't, back to the first solution.

then you can do whatever you like in your own country but please don't export your culture by any means, talk about mutual respect or human rights or draw fancy images of the west to these people, respect that end of the deal pretty well, and done. no more savages causing you any troubles.

> Just as with other Musk companies, the first version isn't that amazing and people fall over themselves laughting declaring how it will never work and never be practical and how they will never manage to produce them in real numbers.

It's not clear to me what you are saying here. Is it that Musk is clarivoyant, and always selects for lines of business where exponential progress is certain to be made incrementally, or is it that his involvement guarantees that incremental progress will always be made?

As a follow-up to the former: do you think that's the case for Twitter?

As a follow-up to the latter: for how many companies do you believe Musk can simultaneously ensure success?
I see your point, but I think one has to take the context of the conversation into account too.

In a social situation involving a transgender person, it's considered polite to use pronouns that won't exacerbate any gender dysphoria they may feel. I would think that most of us have done this at some point, as a kindness.

However if we're discussing a controversial public figure, and the topic is sex versus gender identity, I feel it makes more sense to use pronouns that match up with material reality, for the sake of clarity.
It's astrology.
Bizarre Talmudic Scenarios
Supposedly it was Goethe who once observed,

“When eras are on the decline, all tendencies are subjective; but, on the other hand, when matters are ripening for a new epoch, all tendencies are objective.”

Like an entropic principle of social information exchange, with the potential for reorganization under a new paradigm.
There is a faq answer about safety that is vague but sounds reasonably measured.
Well, when you think about distributed databases, you have a bunch of servers "calling" one another. Some of Jepsen's testing is about disrupting that and seeing what happens.

As a young-ish person neither of these seems particularly “wacky”, and if places actually are re-urbanizing to any significant degree I’d say that’s a good thing given the changes we need to make to address climate change. Doesn’t feel like they are in the moment though.
And yet the study only considered the application of filters, which are pure "polish".
I'm currently in the process of getting rid of all my plastic jewel cases and agree with op, it should not be the default, there's better ways. If there's a market for plastic they could just sell collector's editions or package it in such a way that it's easy to use your own jewel cases, but I'd prefer a less wasteful default. Steelbook blu rays are on the right track in the collectables regard although they still use more plastic on the inside than I'd like.
Thank you infinitely for taking the time to respond.

I don't have this luxury in my life right now but I admit after reading the "original" post almost a fourth time, I was really hoping someone would take the time to explain why/how the author could be completely wrong (or not).

Thanks.
Sorry, I was a little vague. The implication is that if you have your own domain you can host your own URL shortener, which will never be deprecated.

If the data exists, it's going to be used...
According to Wikipedia potassium carbonate has a density of 2.4 tons per cubic meter(1). So ten cbm will fit on a full size truck (eu). That is 3610kWh of heat energy.

Let’s assume a price point of 0,1€/kWh heat(2), a truck load would carry heat with a cargo worth of 361€.

I wonder how far it can be transported unless it’s more expensive than traditional heat sources.

Could they somehow double the heat per weight, this would be a thing.

There's nothing I can say about "this is not actually the same article" and "the two comment sections do not say the same thing at all" that hasn't already been said by many other HN users in response to this moderation thread, so, I'll leave it there, still disappointed.
Though I imagine if the moderation doesn’t happen very quickly, there will often be a lot of very similar comments being submitted because they don’t see each other. And the moderator/OP will have to decide between rejecting the “duplicates” (which can feel problematic) or accepting them all (which leads to a lot redundant comments being published). That in turn can create peer pressure to not moderate too slowly. Not sure I’d like those dynamics.
Every CS program of middling quality or above covers that material, but some may shove that coursework into mostly elective courses. Also, students can pass courses without really learning anything so if it's just one or two courses that really dive that deep over their academic career, they can learn enough to pass and then brain dump it.

I'm sorry, but that's ridiculous. Reputation is built from patterns. There was no pattern there. It was a single isolated event. And people choose to keep bringing it up.
Just curious what are these archival bags you're talking about? I just got rid of all my jewel cases and was looking for storage for the CDs themselves, ended up just cutting my own custom dimension cardboard box but if there's good economic alternatives I'm all ears.
I kind of wish Black would split and join literal strings. I've seen several times when Black converted code like this:

raise SomeError(
"Explanation... "
"yet more explanation"
)

To this:

raise SomeError(
"Explanation... " "yet more explanation"
)

That just looks odd. Black is fantastic, but not perfect.
Often the expressiveness of the type system captures info you'd have to stuff in the name in something like Java or python or at least they just want to emphasize the types over the names. Not always the case though.
One of the most interesting applications of Prolog I have seen in the recent past is the formalization of dose-escalation trial designs that occur in clinical oncology. In particular, David C. Norris has implemented a Prolog formulation of the cumulative cohort design (CCD) as part of his precautionary package:

https://github.com/dcnorris/precautionary/blob/main/exec/pro...

This Prolog program can be used to exhaustively enumerate all possible arising cases, and also to complete partially given trials. In addition to the specific usage mode of telling the clinician what action to perform next after a sequence of events has occurred, it is also possible to ask interesting questions about the trial design as a whole, such as whether specific cases can arise at all, or whether a specific instance was performed according to the protocol. In this sense, the formulation truly serves as an executable specification of trial designs that are otherwise stated only comparatively informally in the medical literature, and may even be subject to divergent interpretations. The formulation uses Scryer Prolog and the latest Prolog language constructs (such as if_/3 and CLP(ℤ) constraints) to achieve a short and very general description. Such declarative specifications may help considerably to improve safety and efficiency of clinical trials, by making all steps and outcomes amenable to analysis and comparison.

Theorem provers and reasoning engines are also often implemented in Prolog. A recent example is solidarity by Jos De Roo:

https://github.com/josd/solidarity

Prolog is also frequently used for prototyping interpreters. For example, Adrián Arroyo Calle is working on a MIPS simulator written in Prolog:

https://github.com/aarroyoc/mipsie

Simon Forman has implemented a Prolog interpreter of Joy in which, remarkably, the declarative description also serves as a type inferencer and type checker:

https://git.sr.ht/~sforman/Thun/tree/master/item/source/thun...

Porting this code to Scryer Prolog could be an interesting project if it appeals to you. There is already an issue for it and pertaining discussion:

https://github.com/mthom/scryer-prolog/issues/388
> That's subjective and exactly the type of thing that could be handled in a client.

There needs to be a web UI of some sort. You need to be able to send people links to things that they can open in their browser with nothing extra installed. It's a hard requirement. You can't require the use of a client app.
>Everyone I know that didn't grow up playing sports also doesn't watch them.

An excellent point.

When I was a child, we just grabbed our mitts/bats/balls/frisbees/whatever and went out to play with our peers and came home when it was dark/raining/time for dinner.

Over the last 30 years or so, it seems that (not that such things didn't exist 30+ years ago) in most places it's difficult to engage in sports without an organized group/league, especially in places where greenspace isn't within walking/biking distance.

As such, most kids need adults to get them to/from sports and there's not very much in the way of pick-up games[0] and the like.

The lack of unstructured sport leaves many kids out of sports (given that parents need to spend time and money to get their kids involved and to/from such activities)

N.B.: The above is definitely a US-centric viewpoint.

I work from Google Search. Hope this helps clarify...

There's a lot of personal info we'll remove such as images of minors, involuntary fake pornography and other issues as outlined here:
https://support.google.com/websearch/troubleshooter/3111061

Our announcement this week was about an expansion of removing personally identifying information -- PII -- (such as email addresses, physical addresses, phone numbers, etc),. This is the page that explains in more detail and where people should begin the removal process:
https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/9673730

The removal process will lead you to a troubleshooter. That's designed to help people more quickly get things resolved. For example, if a web page no longer exists on the web, or the site owner removed info, there are faster options you can use rather than going down the formal removal request option.

But let's say you want something removed that has PII from a page that's live on the web and where you for whatever reason don't want to contact the site owner. The troubleshooter from that page I mentioned will lead you here:
https://support.google.com/websearch/troubleshooter/9685456#...

Say No to contacting the site owner, select Personal Info from the next option, pick the type of info and you'll get to the form (such as here if it involves contact info):
https://support.google.com/websearch/troubleshooter/9685456#...

That's where you enter the info. Appreciate the feedback that we should look at how to improve this more -- that said, the troubleshooter itself isn't new, and people have used it to successfully remove information beyond our recent expansion. But we'll see how to make it better.
I wonder if they can sell their video distribution tech as a service? But yes seems like double down on good original context is the best bet.
This is actually quite interesting, as this seems like something that would be taught in a CE curriculum as opposed to being in a first-year CS course. From the people I know who studied CS they may have exposure to HDL and digital logic in the upper years if they say elected to take a computer archicture course, but their introductory courses mostly focused on programming and algorithms.

I guess it really depends on the school - I have a EE/CE background so I know these things, but the CS people I know mostly don't.
You're probably aware HN titles have a char limit. I hope you read the website and find more positive things! Some examples:

- We're a non-profit, which we believe is the better organizational model to make a project like this work (for multiple reasons, see draft whitepaper [1])

- UBI requires two things: 1) money to send 2) a way to send it. We have a solution for both: 1) seigniorage 2) the network we're building by incentivizing exchanges to add humans to the network

There are difficult open problems, too. Generating token demand, dampening volatility, sufficiently fraud-resistant identity verification, scaling, etc. Those are active areas of work; the draft whitepaper [1] details the current solution directions we're working on.

Those things were newer then. By now, most of the easy and highly profitable things you can start doing for $500K have been tried.

The Web opened up a big range of possibilities. Most of them have been done. Smartphones opened up more. Most of them have been done. These little startups mostly rode on the coattails of the previous New Big Thing.

But there is no current New Big Thing ecosystem. The last four or so attempts have flopped.

Now, there are big expensive things to do. Electric car manufacturing. Rare earth mining. Wind farms. Vaccine development. Wafer fabs. But those all have a big price of entry and established entrants.
