That GitHub may be related to non privacy-friendly actors does not make software hosted on GitHub lose any privacy-friendly quality.

this opens my eyes, TIL some people on HN have the ability to downweight a comment (which is not equivalent to downvoting)
As for the AIP client I don’t know the technicals details on how it’s protected , but for the Information rights management in Sharepoint , the file will be encrypted on download and office apps will handle the decryption and making sure every 10 days you are able to login (have valid credentials) and won’t open if you don’t. It’s still possible to open the files , copy and paste on an unprotected file and save it on external storage and it will always be accessible, but this would mean a lot of work and most office users wouldn’t know they needed to do it.
There's "not marketing as well" and "not even trying to sell their product". Clairefontaine is the latter. Their website is an utter mess. I attempted to find A5 notebooks and even when filtering to the theoretical dimensions (148x210) most of the results are A4.

Yet another case where using types would have prevented a massive problem.
I wanted bootstrappable.org to focus on the individual projects (such as Mes, bootstrapping the JDK from C, etc) instead of distro integration. The idea was to avoid the impression that this is a distro project (much as reproducible-builds.org used to look like an exclusive Debian effort).

Isn't crypto generally far too volatile to serve as collateral?
Nice! I have been using GnuCash for about a year now; moved on from an Excel workbook that got annoying to maintain.

Been thinking of an API/Web interface (or Telegram bot) to quickly save transactions - so it's wonderful to see you built something in that can help in that direction! Guess I can look at the telegram bot part now :)
> confirmed that my comment's ranking was manipulated

Being flagged / downvoted by users isn't "manipulated", that's just how a upvote / downvote based website works. The comment was likely downvoted because it was just plain out wrong as the first comment to your post already says.

Ok, so someone who never spent much time on a track and is quoting the SCCA rule book to make it sound otherwise hasn't realized that a blockpass is a common tactic in all categories of racing, both on 2 and 4 wheels be it at the GT or GP level.

So let me show you what it is and how common a tactic it is to ensure an overtake sticks [0]. Here is a breakdown of the anatomy of what a blockpass is and how it's used to hold the racing line:

Racer Training Technique #1. Block Pass

A. get close to rider in front

B. brake same time or after rider in front

C. remove some brake pressure to get side by side

D. hold position side by side while continuing to brake evenly with other ride. (don't pass in-front.. as it opens up a possible re-pass if you run wide)

E. enter corner holding the inside line ftw!

It is a legitimate overtaking technique.

This video on the 'art of passing' is also worth watching to see what I had described earlier [1], at 0.55 you see what a blockpass looks like on track and that is what forces a driver wide off the racing line and makes him loss time by going wide, which is an entirely legitimate racing technique.

Kelvin describes it rather well and shows how you can execute it best and still drive cleanly.

PS: I used to drive when I was younger but I also marshaled and did scrutineering at Time Attacks, and Open lap track days be it with SCCA sanctioned events or otherwise when I got older and sustained too many injuries and got slower.

There is a saying amongst the experienced veterans: Racing is a full contact sport, and rubbing is racing.

So this is just a slower, proprietary version of existing shell autocomplete?

(If you don't like bash's simple autocomplete, try other shells like zsh or fish.)
Fig is yc backed and linear.app also has a yc connection. Maybe that's an yc sponsored landing page design?
If Github Autopilot was added on this, would be a terminal on steroids
You are right. Although I believe almost all of the popular graphics libraries has bindings for Go & Rust.

C++ is definitely powerful for this use-case and I believe it has a very active community as well.

Thanks for the recommendation.
England and Wales deals with the footnote issue by sometimes allowing for a 'Protective Costs Order' if the issues raised are of general public importance, resolving them is in the public interest, and the applicant (normally for judicial review) has no private interest in the outcome of the case.

This lets the judges cap costs awards prospectively (as low as zero if necessary) if the alternative is that a meritorious case is likely to be dropped to avoid the risk of an unaffordable costs award.
Confusing behavior after clicking on a company name in search results - would expect to go to some place related to the company (details? yc directory page? product page?), but what happens is some kind of search term change.

I've searched for "read" and clicked on "readme" in search results.

EDIT: Now I see what happens - clicking the first search result is behaving in such weird way - clicking results below the first one works as expected.
I find this concerning.
Makes sense, I wonder if they still teach kids in France to write with fountain pens, I know I had to when I went to school there 25 years ago.
I vastly prefer Larry McEnerney’s lecture The Craft of Writing Effectively:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtIzMaLkCaM

In particular, he disagrees with this article about outlines.
I mean, if we’re buying 50k-150k vehicles in the next ten years — most of which will probably last many decades — we need to set ourself up for the future. If 75% of the orders are ICEs, that’s more than 100k new ICEs just for the USPS. That’s a really strong step in the wrong direction, imo.

Looking at fuel, though, let’s consider a 30mi route. (Supposedly the average rural route is 45, unsure about cities.) Assuming it runs 6 days a week, that’s around 9k miles per year. At 8.6mpg, it’s around 1k gallons of gas per year. At the current average around $4, that’s $4000 per year on gas.

The current average electricity price for commercial and for transportation sectors is around $0.12/kWh according to EIA. It’s tricky to figure out what the kWh/mi is because it’s obviously a small truck, it’s going low speeds, and it’s able to use regen braking due to frequent stops. These factors make it hard to come up with a good number, but maybe let’s say 0.4kwh/mi (similar to an EV truck iirc.) At 9k miles, that’s 3600kwh. With the 12 cent energy cost, that’s only $430.

So the cost savings is around $3500/yr/vehicle, and gets even better if my miles per year calculation of 9000 is low. (Which is plausible.) and even better if the efficiency is better due to regen braking and low speeds. (Also plausible.)

Multiplied by 50k vehicles, it’s a cost savings of $175 million on fuel alone per year!

The USPS also stated in its release that many of their vehicles have been around for 30yrs. So I think it’s pretty plausible to say that a high mileage break-even cost is obtainable. And if we’re keeping these vehicles for decades and decades, it’s that much more important to go full EV today so that we aren’t running on inefficient, polluting, legacy tech in 30 years.
Back in the day when they were standard in Androids we received tons of complaints about our chat app from users, "why do you use these fugly blob emojis? Can't you have nice ones like on iPhones?"
Just wanted to share my subpar experience as an interviewee at Fig. The initial phone screen consisted of a series of around 7 lightning fast questions on React basics (this was for a typescript role) followed by a basic leetcode question all in 15min.

I was then presented with a take home which was to make a minimal clone of https://explainshell.com/ using the Fig API. Needless to say this task was not only overly time consuming but it was extremely disrespectful to receive a reply over a month (!) after I submitted the task. They cited that my submission was “lost” while moving to a new system. If their management of new hires is this poor I shudder to think of what their internal management is like. Awesome product can’t say the same about the team though.
This has been on my mind for a while now.

Heroes, such as Einstein, are good in that they motivate certain people, me included, to go into natural sciences, but once you start grasping more of historical context of scientific breakthroughs you begin to wonder why some scientists were elevated to that rank in general public's mind.

I would say that this is some kind of PR type selection. It's natural that general public is aware of science communicators (amongs other things) like Carl Sagan, Jacob Bronowski or Neil deGrasse Tyson, but it is interesting that they wouldn't know as much about Lorenz, Poincare or Riemann, even though they have played significant roles in Special and General Relativity developments.

There seems to be a preference for scientists that deal with more concrete problems, easier to understand in a very generic way (Cosmology seems to be a good pick).

Also particular personal struggle like in Hawking's case or personality (Feynman comes to mind).

So it is easier to talk about black holes and expanding universe (Hawking, Einstein) than abstract mathematics with none/loose/difficult to grasp connection to reality (Poincare, Riemann). Outside CS it might even be rare for people to know about Von Neumann.

I wonder from current generation of scientists who will be remembered and what would be a reason behind it.

There seems to be a requirement for some form of mystic atmosphere around a person in order to be talked about.
Even ignoring context it's a huge stretch to call that a 'project'.

I'm not sure what your argument is. Are you implying that every internet draft eventually becomes an RFC?
I guess the first step would be to look at who is pushing these laws. Are they known proponents of open government? Are they pushing for similar transparency in all services? Have they been spearheading A drive to improve maths level?

Or are they instead pushing an ideological agenda?

DALL-E is way better than me. Sure, I can count past four and I know what letters are, but I can’t draw a wizard koala as good as that. Also, there is criticism of how it draws faces, but it’s way better than I am.
I tried Polars, but feel like it's not ready for production yet.

It's fast! The API is nice. But the documentation is not great. While using pandas I can just open the docs and find all functions and examples of how to use, etc. Polars felt really bare.

It's something I'd like to use in personal projects. But other data scientists would not accept using polars as it is today.
I have no problems with emoji in messaging, work or personal. Of course they need to be context appropriate, I don't want :kiss-face: from my boss.

Emojis in source code and program output, eh, not my style but it's harmless.

I've read of a project here that _requires_ emoji tags in the commits, instead of using "chore", "bugfix", etc. — that's a little too much for my taste.
yes, now you know the game is rigged

just imagine how much of the HN comment section is manipulated by these elites

i guess some YC-investor isn't happy that us regulars are devaluing his investment and downranks negative comments so that people will give Fig a try after reading bunch of good ones
All your comments in that thread are negative. I just see an angry and hostile person who’s rocking a boat on a sea of conspiracy.

As Dang said in comment you linked: “That's no fun and does nothing for the community.”.
Could you please give more details so that frustrated youngsters like me can learn from your experience. What did you do to understand? And what are your conclusions?
I found this Australian talk on the topic of breathing and weight loss highly informative:

This is not a sound approach. You're declaring what humans think random is first, and then throwing out any data that doesn't match your declaration. There is no way to learn anything from this.

I also think 'HHHHHHHHHH' is unlikely to be a good faith response, but if the goal is to actually learn anything instead of merely reinforcing my prior beliefs, it doesn't matter.

You need to find a way to design the experiment that discourages bad faith answers or let's you judge them objectively. Alternatively if you have some outside knowledge about the 'shape' of bad faith answers for your kind of experiment, you may be able to use that to properly adjust your data.

But 'nah I don't think so' isn't an acceptable reason to throw out data. It's especially egregious to do so when the data is answers that are, at a bare minimum, technically correct.
Mensch, människa, menneske, ..., and (most likely) manusha are cognates. But it's still curious how "manusha" sounds like "människa" while the vowels have been dropped in "mensch".
Realizing gains from the sale.
It's very interesting, but for me, the fact that one has to resort to very complicated sentences, rare words or ambiguous words to show limitations (and even then, they're only near misses, not utter failures) is a testimony to how amazing DALL-E is.
That statement means that they have chosen, by design, to be unavailable in Europe.

In Europe you must be able to prove that your software was designed from the ground up with enough safeguards for user privacy, as opposed to considering privacy requirements as a bolted-on afterthought.
Did we read the same article? They aren't claiming those things at all. Those are the claims of the original study, which are being disputed by this attempt at reproduction. The writers suspect those claims to be false due to the choice of the original study to not remove likely intentionally non-random data.

I believe the 13% stat you saw is that your score had a higher random score than than 13% of other participants, so not very random.
You realize not everyone thinks Apple emoji don’t look good? In particular in the younger demographic I’d be surprised if they were less liked than Android blob emojis. I mean, take GP’s comparison of the turtle, do you really think the Android ugly, and to be honest with a somewhat mentally challenged face, looks better than Apple’s turtle? Maybe you do, and maybe GP does too, but tons of people wouldn’t.

I’ve never used that many emoji in my messages than since I switched to iOS because their emojis carry way more meaning to me.

Poor Larry. Was that in a 'right to work's state?

It's Management's job to manage. It doesn't say much about them that they couldn't find a way to motivate Larry, or to make use of his skills without firing him.

Workers aren't going to be as productive when they are pregnant, have young kids, are chronically ill, experience bereavement etc etc

Cutting people loose as soon as they are less than optimal is brutal.

It makes me very glad that I live somewhere where employment rights (because of a long history of worker's struggles) are a bit more civilised.

no, no, no

you're missing the point!

the comment wasn't flagged and it wasn't downvoted

in fact the opposite is true as it has 30 upvotes, upvoted by regular users like you

the comment was downranked, so it only appears lower on the page

this feature isn't available for regular users, only for an elite group
Picking evenly seems to consistently produce higher "randomness" scores than picking unevenly or using an RNG. I wonder how this algorithm would rank random sequences vs shuffled linear sequences.

The fundamental issue with a randomness metric for sequences is that an idealized independent generator will under-perform vs a constrained generator that excludes low scoring sequences.
Thanks a lot! Personally, I don't think it's propaganda. It's a valid material for analisys. It's very regretful how many bloggers (especially youtroopers) are promoting chinese online stores.

That's not what happened. Certain users have additional moderation power to downweighted generic/offtopic comments. I encourage you to read the answer dang posted in his linked thread. The linked post is also not the one that got downweighted.

Just to be clear: I don't think there is anything outrageous about such a system. It's probably positive for the community.
Not just that though. If you have an iPod filled with 20 albums from your favorite artist and 1 album from 5 others, you wouldn’t be happy even with random excluding previous.

> you're missing the point!

No, the point is that it was downvoted / downranked / flagged because it was a low quality comment that is spreading FUD and it doesn't matter who did it.
> Being flagged / downvoted by users isn't "manipulated"

Did you even read the comment?

> even-though it had the first spot with 30 upvotes

The comment had upvotes and a mod confirmed that the ranking was later manipulated, meaning it didn't lose ranking because of down votes.

My lord, it's one think when people just read article titles and skip the actual article, but it's incredibly immature and perplexing when people just read the first line of a comment!

Please don't jump to criticism and read the things properly, if not, try to refrain from commenting .

To be clear, you’re saying that Google’s version looks better?
Women do not prefer tall men, they prefer men taller than themselves. This is called hypergamy, and is not limited to height.

There are two strategies of hypergamy play. First, male player may accent his other strong characteristics, like wealth, or physical strength, or education, or sports (not necessarily athletic) or other things society regards as prestigious.

The second strategy is to find and form a relationship with roles inverted. Meaning prioritize women who are wealthier, older, more dominant, better educated and so on. Those women are experiencing much more problems with traditional hypergamous relationship, because their selection of hypergamous partners is vanishingly small, so they may consider relationship with reversed roles.

I really wish you had not brought up Child pornography. CP material is not speech, much like criminalised drugs are not. Hypothetically, the idea that CP media possession should be decriminalised, or what material should constitute (or not constitute) CP to begin with, or how to tackle the problem of child abuse (both generally and specifically when it comes to CP media production). And in fact, none of those opinions would be "criminal".

Still, bringing up CP often is unhealthy for a discussion. Too often it is the way of the political scoundrel, the wannabe-strongman, to throw the "think of the children" card (and then abuse the powers grabbed with that argument against unrelated activities).

> The main reason no such provision exists is that there simply is no widespread movement to glorify, for example the Iraq war.

There has been actual attempts to prosecute the Schröder government for preparation of and participation in a war of aggression (against Serbia), which was then cancelled out because "t'was a righteous war". Note how the law does not distinguish between 'righteous' and 'criminal' wars of aggression.

> Absolutely. I just hope some solution can be found, which actually works, because you can only through so many judges against bots, foreign actors etc.

We are not that far away from each other. We just disagree who the real danger, the real enemy is: bots and foreign actors (by the way: Freedom of speech also protects their freedom of speech, even the watered-down "freedom of opinion" of the Grundgesetz is not limited to 'Germans only'), or a - in the future potentially tyrannic - federal government. Given our history, I tend to see the danger at home, not abroad.
i'm not denying that i was in angry mood when commenting in the thread

There is only one valid blockchain at any given time -- the longest one (currently Bitcoin). Any attempt such as this one to create a new blockchain will always be shorter than the pre-existing longer blockchain, thereby making this attempt susceptible to a 51% attack from outside its network.
