Leak shows Google appetite for your location, 747 times per day in USA
Google checks Spaniards an average of 426 times a day to get information about their location and online activity. This is evidenced by an investigation by the Irish association Irish Council for Civil Liberties (ICCL) based on the leak, which also shows that the average number of daily intrusions among European citizens is 376 (Spain is higher) and American, 747, almost doubled.
Because Elon is a scam that wrongly voted for vision-based technology and can’t back out of it without losing money.

We manage to get away with 2 2D sensors, that can actively move around and we have freaking 3 billions of neurons with extensive knowledge of the physical world. We are not giving back only a 3D approximation due to the angle difference between our eyes - we also semantically analyze it, knowing what a car, a tree, the sky, etc are, with their usual dimensions in directions where we don’t even see it.
Two things: (GPU) cryptomining is extremely unpopular with PC gamers, especially those who DIY build PCs, because the demand for GPUs for mining is substantially worsening the general GPU shortage, pushing prices even higher. NVIDIA has made a lot of noise about how they are on the 'side of gamers' (such as with their Low Hash Rate cards which have a software lock designed to reduce mining efficiency which held for about a year or so), but in general seems to have been happy in practice to make as much money as they can off of it. So NVIDIA has a marketing interest in downplaying the impact of cryptomining on the shortage while selling as much as they can into the high demand and high prices at the moment. (And tech journalists communicating to these gamers do read these reports and tell the consumers about this stuff)

Secondly, from an investors point of view, GPU cryptomining demand is seen as a lot more volatile than PC gaming demand. A crypto crash or the planned ethereum switch to proof of stake could reduce this demand substantially. If a larger fraction of NVIDIA's sales (and thus revenue) is due to cryptomining, it's less likely to be similar next year (not only because cryptomining might buy less new cards, but also because they might flood the market with used cards, reducing demand for new cards from PC gamers, which happened during the last big crypto crash). This is the main reason the SEC is not happy about it. When reporting to investors NVIDIA also has an incentive to downplay crypto-related demand.
The immune system is not understood well at all, but western medicine does have quantifiable success in treatment of lupus. In the 40’s or 50’s, scientists/clinicians tracked a cohort of representative lupus patients and within two years of diag most were dead. Today lifespan has been greatly extended, protecting the organs being a big advance. IF you have lupus, and IF you get diagnosed, and IF you can afford proper prophylactic drugs and IF you manage your diet, exercise, sleep, stress better that you ever used to, you can usually manage it and hit old age. The western lifestyle is a bigger impediment to health than western medicine.
What we learned about handling DDoS attacks – Stack under attack
Wouldn't it be pretty easy to confirm or falsify the theory then? See how companies perform with more diverse boards as compared to those with less diverse boards? That information is public. This study [1] seems to have inconclusive results:

> We found evidence for a positive effect of women on corporate boards on both measures of company performance—ROA and PER—apart from the percentage of female executives in the case of ROA when estimated through pooled OLS. However, the outcomes of panel data fixed-effects and random-effects revealed the lack of connection between board gender diversity and ROA but a positive impact of the number and percentage of women on board on PER.

My list why discord sucks:

- Their clients are fat and hungry

- Third party clients get removed

- The CEO was owner of a data collection and selling company before.

- Tencient owns to much ownership

- They don't even claim to provide any kind of Privacy

- DM Spam is horrible

- Sometimes enforcing a phone number but don't even support some major carriers.

- Some scams are using the same URLs for years. discord doesn't care.

- Personally I find the UI confusing and unproductive.

I never understood why it even got relevant outside of gaming. It's basically just a closed source, Chinese owned, privacy disrespecting IRC on steroids.
>> the incentive to target you in this way, you better have adequate protection.

Having owned some fancy cars, the advice you usally hear from other owners is this - the best protection you can have is a good insurance policy. Putting any kind of lock out/pin/hidden switch system on it, hiding your keys in radio-proof bags etc, is the best recipe to get hurt. Exactly because if you drive such a fancy car, the people coming to steal it are not opportunistic thieves - they are coming to get your car, and they will hurt you to get it. That's why you don't install any extra fancy "trap" systems in the car and you hang your keys right next to the front door, in plain view. If they want to take the car, don't give them a reason to come in and threaten you or your family for the keys or a lock out pin because you thought you were clever with a fancy alarm system. A Lamborghini is replacable. Your life(or the life of your children) is not.
Generally because they don't yet know what to ask. And half of what they're looking for is to be less lost: to have a human connection with someone making the struggle of learning less alone. That's why the most enthusiastic helpers of newbies are the recently-not-noobs. Who in turn enjoy having "their" space on discord to dispense wisdom from.

> Snark aside, why is this a recurring obsession of HN posters?

I think that there are too related patterns on HN and both have to do with tech culture. First, complains about loneliness and seeing loneliness as major problem. Second, looking down on socialization or at least ways other people socialize - whether social media or young students partying and socializing. So, any bad news about social media is welcome.

There is ethos of not socializing the wrong way or not at all. And ethos of not wasting your time with fluff, doing side project or getting better in something instead (and some amount of this is absolutely good) and of working a lot. And combination then it leads to kind of magical thinking of "if only other people did not used these, everything would be better".
FWIW "Failed"/"Passed" vs "Fail"/"Pass" is aggregates vs individual result, so I'd give them a pass (heh) on that one.
Correct, the Beanstalk thing was not a reentrancy attack. That was a governance attack on the world's most insecure DAO. The Rari Capital exploit was a reentrancy attack.

This is overstated. Dissent by Turkey and Hungary shouldn't be seen as evidence of widespread disagreement in the economically important core states. Nor should French temporising be seen as anything other than normal, as was German hesitancy to stop the gas.

Politico is making much from little. Europe is as disunited as always.
> Developers will go through extraordinary lengths to avoid making things global, but the truth is that for end-user applications a great deal of the relevant product requirements are essentially singletons.

Globals are appropriate when "there can be only one"; however, I tend to find that's rarely the case. Much more common is "there can be only one at a time"; in which case, dynamic variables are far more useful than global variables. The most obvious example is in tests.

The answer is yes, for DEX arbs, since you have to trade in the pools anyway and must pay the resulting fees.
I have freelanced for 15 years and love it. I got several long-term clients and did work I found interesting and rewarding. Chasing short-term gigs leads to churn and that feeling of not making a difference, but that's not the only way to do it.

"Boring" is not a quality of work, or of any activity. "Boring" describes a person's subjective reaction to what they're doing. If you find the work you're doing boring you can either find something else to do or change how you perceive the work.

Ok someone please make a concrete claim about what they fear has happened or will happen. Example: "I'm afraid the NSA hacked a submitter's email and used it to access their GitHub and change constants in the encryption algorithm."
That's not true, one side is forcing the other side to live according to their believe system, the other isn't. Two examples:

1. Same sex marriage: One side: "nobody should be able to marry the same sex", i.e. I forbid you from marrying your gay partner. The other side, "everyone should be able to marry no matter what the sex", i.e. you are free to marry only other sex partners, as long as I can marry a partner of any sex.
One side is forcing the other side to adhere to their belief system, the other isn't.

2. Eating Pork. One side: "We believe eating pork is dirty, so selling pork meat should be illegal" the other side "Everyone should be able to eat the meat they want"
Wi-Fi 7 Sensing works at each of the different frequencies (2.4Ghz, 5Ghz, 6Ghz, 60Ghz). The lower frequencies have lower imaging resolution, longer range/penetration and can be blocked with less dense mesh.

I really like Inkscape and have used it quite extensively. Nice to see it getting an update. I look forward to exploring the new version.
There's no actual evidence that women on boards yields better outcomes, it's just another false belief propagated by junk studies.

But even if there was, would that be a good reason to act on it? This "logic" never seems to be deployed in men's favour. It's obvious that strong male firefighters will have better outcomes than female firefighters, that's why New York had to make the qualification tests easier in order to hire more women. Yet the rules were changed anyway.

"I honestly don't know how anyone can believe the market will find the optimal outcome."

Because of enormous amounts of history, theory and practice showing that it will? BTW the "confused, reactionary, panicky, racist, sexist, bigoted people" would appear to describe the people breaking the law in order to ban men from powerful positions on the basis of their gender, wouldn't it.

Ask HN: Pitching Projects
I would like to learn how to pitch projects to potential customers, I have in the past few months seen several places where I feel I could improve or create new services for them that would be of benefit, but I have never pitched to anyone before.

Books, resources on pitching projects? I have an oreilly membership and maybe will get pluralsight so if you have suggestions there it would be good.

Also I want to do the MVP (minimal viable pitch), I'm not a great designer, so I would really like to learn to do enough of a pitch to get paid to produce the designs for the idea so I could pay a designer to help with that.

At this point it also comes into questions on how to structure payment, what to ask for?
While that is true, one could argue that these reports are either split into distinct parts written by individual authors or are not written in parallel.

A report doesn't have ten people writing the same page. If everyone writes a chapter then merging is trivial. No need to learn a complex tool
An actual friend then sure, but most people I know have like 500+ “friends” so I think people are less likely to have that reaction to everyone in the timeline.

I think a lot of people realize that facebook makes them feel bad but they prefer to feel bad rather than not feel anything at all.

They unknowingly pursue easily available emotion (even negative) to avoid emotional boredom. It's a bit like watching scary or sad movies.
1. Communism with central planning / with internal price signals cannot work, because the computation for efficient goods distribution scales as the fourth power of the number of differentiated goods in the economy (where in addition to physical goods, every individual appointment time with every individual service provider is its own differentiated good.)

2. Even in a world where essential resources are plentiful, many people compete for status, which is a zero-sum game.

3. Perhaps as a result, communism when attempted historically results in famine and/or shortages and/or genocides.
Apparently Twitter claims only 5% of users are bots. It seems impossible to me that this claim is remotely true, and I imagine Musk knows this. This kind of sounds to me like he's decided he doesn't want to buy and is creating a reason not to.
Technically it's not the largest, not char, not rnn... but it's close :)
HN mostly reminds me of the Usenet of the late 1980s - which was in a way the social media of its time.

Laws are created all the time to create a competitive advantage for companies. Disney’s special tax district in Florida, industry cities like Emeryville and Vernon in California, tax credits for films, lax usury laws in South Dakota and Delaware for credit card banks, and the list goes on and on. It’s a reason, a common one, even if you don’t like it.

I don't understand that argument. I sometimes use Inkscape but I never have more than a single version deployed on my device. Also, I don't think I'm putting any pressure on the maintainers if I were to insist on never updating from an older version.

Snarkiness aside, being able to "deploy a single version of software" is itself incompatible with the ability to self-host, making it a moot point for FOSS (let alone for FOSS that has no practical reason to be SaaS in the first place).
Currently the Youtube and Netflix apps for Meta Quest-2 HMD both let you reposition the view stage laying down on your back or on pillows & it definitely takes the physical strain out of watching a full movie in VR. I agree this should be a standard option across all the apps.
The problem is that the removal of what you call "obvious exaggeration" and "figure of speech" completely changes the meaning of the phrase and transforms the author's position from reasonable to unreasonable.

That's called a strawman. Yeah, it's very easy to do and very convenient to knock out, and I hope you had fun doing so, but you didn't really address the author's real position here, as much as you insist that you just removed "figure of speech".

About the "dragging me to court on trumped charges" part, oh, the irony. That's exactly what YOU are doing. :)
> But yes, once you do all of that...it actually is a money printing machine that will never end as long as markets have volatility.

The vast majority of apps you see on the App Store, including most games can be web apps. So I'm not sure what your point is?

Apple has deliberately under-invested in implementing web platform features on Safari. If you've tried to build a web app on Safari vs Android Chrome, you'll know what I mean. It's not a conspiracy - it's a clear as day policy to keep consumers and developers locked into their platform.

Why do we have to meet the opponent on their ground? The ground I want to fight on is the question of what can the government force me to do to my body. Some of the same right-wingers that were ready to revolt over the government telling them to put on a face mask are ok with government forced births. It's not about the damn fetuses, it's about using the power of the state to control sex. A lot of these same people are against HPV vaccines, again to control sex. They want life altering consequences if we don't behave the way they want us to.
This is a really interesting opinion. Would you mind elaborating?

I don’t really use either Word or LibreOffice much as my needs are really simple, (I mostly get away with just plaintext tools).

What is it that separates these two for you?

Is it some specific missing features you rely on or something to do with UX?
> what do you mean by dynamic snapping. Inkscape had snap to objects, corners, grids ... since forever. Is there anything else to dynamic snapping?

Luckily it appears that it has actually been implemented in this new version. It's the feature called "Alignment and Distribution snapping".

> I think there were multiple extensions that could do e.g. drop shadows on groups when I looked at doing that several years ago.

While that's nice and all, I think it should be built-in functionality, with the same level of stability and user friendliness as the rest of the application.
Pretty much all washing machines made in the last 20 years use triacs not relays, and the control boards are normally potted in either a silicon or epoxy type substance for water resistance.

> Do you want to help put your users behind bars by handing over the data you hold about them in response to legal demands by law enforcement?

It depends on the law being enforced, doesn't it? For example is someone is accuse of peddling CSAM then tech companies would be tripping over themselves to hand over data. In fact tech companies (e.g. Apple) will try to set up dragnets that even catch innocents under the premise that it's better to hassle a few thousand innocents than let even one offender escape.

As for abortion, are all tech companies pro choice? I don't ink because it never was a relevant question before since choice was legal for decades.
I don't know what is the deal using .SO/Somalian TLDs for these kind of business apps (same remark for Notion)

Once you have your centralized cloud service integrated, you have ongoing support costs so you must charge subscription instead of letting your users fully own the software. The only acceptable paradigm in my view is local-first with P2P collaboration options.
Hmm, should we just take everyone's wealth every few years and split it evenly? After all wealth is opportunity. Hmm, or maybe set inheritance tax and gift tax to 100%. After all that is also equal opportunity.
A constitution is just a piece of paper. It only has meaning because people respect it. Passing a law you know violates a constitution is a direct attack on the rule of law itself, and should probably come with penalties attached. Certainly, the fact that politicians in the USA very regularly and blatantly pass laws they know will be struck down by the courts a few years later is one of the stronger arguments I've seen for why the UK shouldn't bother with setting up a written constitution. It's got no teeth. Governments can simply pass and enforce illegal laws, exploiting the lack of speed and capacity in the court system. Then when one gets struck down, just pass another in a similar way.
It is also difficult to get a man to understand something when you refuse to explain the thing to him.
Despite its totalitarianism, China isn't very expansionist or aggressive. Significantly less than Russia and the US. Wasn't their last war the annexation of Tibet in 1951? They do make it very clear that they consider some countries and territories an intrinsic part of China (Taiwan obviously, Hong Kong, and this was also the case with Tibet), but they're generally not very aggressive about taking them, and extremely patient about waiting for the right moment, and tend to do it with minimal bloodshed. So far at least. (And only in their expansion; they have far less scruples about domestic bloodshed.)

That said, I believe the Soviet Union has taken quite a bit of land from China a long time ago, and although they haven't made any claim on that land yet (unlike with Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the South China Sea), I can imagine China might want it back when the time is right for it. Like a serious collapse of Russia. But I don't think they'll go to war over it.

Also, apparently there exist some Finnish imperialists who'd like to annex Karelia, and possibly some other parts of North-West Russia.

I would direct you to the studies on the natives of Copper Canyon and the various studies completed at Harvard on impulse loading in the knee and hip relative to foot orientation.

Here's a crappy article about it:

https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2010/01/barefoot-runn...

The take away here is that while you can make a big ass goofy shoe that takes all the force away from your poor form and prevents injury, the natural body mechanics are subverted. If you grow up and spend a lifetime with a prosthetic (soft shoe), everything about your movement is altered and augmented by the use of the prosthetic.

Just think on that for a moment as opposed to directing me to some argument or article in a study.
