The article is about North American credit scores, so I guess it isn't completely ridiculous to assume that if it is unstated.

Does your bank not have a system showing you what transactions you did in a month? The credit card statement is the same thing, for a different account.
> I find the right to be forgotten very valuable in a world

So do people with skeletons in the closet. Not saying you do, but right to be forgotten can infringe on other people's right to be well informed.

This is not a hypothetical. It has already happened.

> How does IPFS deal with CSAM being published on it?

Using CSAM to justify a law, is not a winning strategy.

It would be tedious but probably destroying all nodes. Which means IPFS is not compatible with RTBF.

At least drop the GPA requirement. I found most homework annoying and unnecessary, so I skipped it but I aced the tests. Frustrated the hell out of my parents and teachers and led to lower overall grades, but I learned everything I needed to and turned out alright in the end.
A eggbeater drill is as obsolete as it'll ever get. Good ones are worth hanging on to for those occasions when you need to drill a couple of holes some ways from the nearest outlet. Plus, kids love them and will happily spend a ridiculous amount of time drilling holes in scrap.

They also work in tighter spots than an electric drill. There's usually less bulk off the axis in at least one direction, generally opposite the crank. If you're in a corner, you're usually boned though.

The drills that are guaranteed to be trash in 20 years are the battery ones. I have a set and love them for when I need to drill more than a couple holes, but I have no illusions that I'll be passing them down to anybody because the batteries will be unavailable.
Have they found a reservoir of greater fools that no one else has exploited yet?

Exactly, both won't (fully) happen until it's economically essential to make the transition.

The parts of the internet stuck on v4 (hard wired IPSs) won't move until is economical unviable to not use v6. Hopefully the rapid increase in v4 IPs price will eventually push them to sell off their addresses and move to v6.

In comparison, the parts of the economy dependent on oil/coal won't move until its more expensive to continue.

> UK's parliamentary system was effectively a modern democracy

It objectively wasn't, especially untill the Reform Act 1832 removed the rotten buroughs. In 1780 less than 3% of all people living England had the right to vote and that had only increased to ~15% by 186. Even universal suffrage for men was only introduced in 1918, while at least almost all white men had the right to vote in the US by the 1850's.

Your wording seems to imply that the US system has a working parliament, which has clearly not been the case for the last couple of election cycles?

General idea being to massively increase the number of reps (presumably adding much more diversity of opinion and nuance to congress).

Not specifically about RCV, but lots of great thoughts about how congress might be different.

My personal hot take is that RCV + a "maximum citizens per rep" rule would do a lot of good things for congress (and probably weaken the 2-party stranglehold even if it didn't destroy it).

Yes. Android is sufficiently different from a stock Linux distro that it absolutely counts as a unique operating system. ChromeOS is also unique in interesting ways, although less successful. It's certainly a production quality OS.

Perhaps more importantly, both of those are complete and have real users who found value in them.
The article talks about how to get this HTTPS by default functionality in all major browsers. I don't see how your complaint about not being redirected to HTTPS is relevant with those settings enabled.
From the article:

"The main reason for this exodus of wealthy technologists is the complete waiver on personal income tax and minimal capital gains tax. India levies a personal income tax of 30% on income above 15,00,000 rupees ($19,300), which can go up to 42%, including a surcharge and a long-term capital gains tax of 10%–20%."
What would be an inflation hedge that isn't an asset that just goes up in value greater than inflation?

FTA: "An inflation hedge is an investment that is considered to protect the decreased purchasing power of a currency that results from the loss of its value due to rising prices either macro-economically or due to inflation. It typically involves investing in an asset that is expected to maintain or increase its value over a specified period of time. Alternatively, the hedge could involve taking a higher position in assets, which may decrease in value less rapidly than the value of the currency."

Technically the federal system has referenda, but it has to be called by the states, as mentioned in Article V.

> The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.

We've never had a constitutional convention so exactly how it would work is unknown.
This conversation almost always strikes me as a pointless exercise. We can't even agree on what it means to be "simple" or precisely define what it means to have "less features" in a programming language (or perhaps we can by saying complexity is anything more than what is provided by machine language, but we get no closer to an understanding of how much of this is necessary or when this is desirable). A programming language is an abstraction over machines and inevitably all languages introduce features to unburden the programmer from extraneous detail, toil, or precarity involved in orchestrating the operation of that machine. The author is correct that many "simple" languages like Brainfuck are actually very complex to use, but this strikes at the inherent feebleness of the premise that we can clearly define what we mean by a "simple" language (or at least any clarity on when the complexity tax is worthwhile or not worthwhile). Many programming language features are conditioned on a trade-off that having to think about X less in exchange for requiring knowledge of Y is a net benefit to the programmer. If we take the idea that simplicity means "less features" at face value, we throw out the notion of any high level language having the potential to be simple.

The oft-cited Rich Hickey talk [0] I think gets _somewhat_ closer to vindicating the concept of simplicity being something we can talk about more objectively, but I'm still not convinced the concept is worth redeeming. Instead I would propose that languages should have a clear purpose and context in mind. Designing a language with clarity about the intended scale and pace of change in software that will be built in the language, the domain/category of software it is well adapted to build (i.e. embedded, web, OS, compilers, mathematics, mobile, servers, games, and so forth), and the nature of the teams and the public community it intends to support supersedes and encompasses whatever we want to call "simplicity" or "ease". What is easy, simple, helpful, etc. is incidental to how purposefully built a language is to a set of use cases.

Every time an incident like this happens, Hacker News squares off into its pro and anti-gun camps and has the same futile charade of a "discussion."

YouTube doesn't provide a way to search all of YouTube based on the spoken words in videos, unfortunately.

I could update VideoMentions Search to allow users to select multiple channels, and then perform the search across all of those. Like maybe maybe auto-importing all the channels they're subscribed to could be useful. One way or another though, it would still require selecting specific channels to search within. For this first iteration, I just kept things simple with a single channel URL input. Despite that limitation, I still think it's a useful tool, though; I plan to use it often myself.

Thanks for checking it out!

I would say that C++ templates have been extremely successful. The reason that the committee keeps tinkering with them is that users keep asking for even more features (very very few languages have all comparable features, so it is certainly not a matter of catching up).

"The calculated vapor sorption rate of the SHPF is 1.65 L kg–1 h–1 at 30% RH, which indicates 1 kg of SHPF can capture 1.65 L of water vapor in 1 h, compared favorably among the state-of-the-art sorbent materials"

"The captured water in the SHPF can be released by >70% within 10 min through mild heating at 60 °C under a wide range of RH (Fig. 3b and Supplementary Fig. 15). This mild heating temperature is realized by introducing the hydrophilic thermoresponsive HPC with optimized molecular weight, concentration, and pH of the initial precursor (Supplementary Figs. 9–14 and Supplementary Table 2)42."

That sounds amazing to me if I understood it correctly.

I didn't see any actual technical content in that comment. I don't see any repliers commenting on tone but I do see a comment or remarking that they disagree with the technical assertion and asking for actual technical content to back it up.

So I think your assumptions about the reasons for the down votes are inaccurate.

I've been using HTTPS-only mode on Firefox for many months now. The place where I see HTTP links most often is email tracking links. I'm commonly automatically upgraded to HTTPS and it works but very often there is no HTTPS support at all. Even for sensitive things like password resets that have secret tokens in the URL.

I looked a bit of the posts on Twitter, and wow, it’s really polarized. People seem to either love it or hate it. Is SwiftUI still that controversial, or is it just an effect of people posting on Twitter?
> What is more interesting to me was Cutler's involvement with Azure. He must have had some sway over CBL-Mariner, Microsoft's RPM-based Linux distribution.

He was involved with Red Dog (the modified Windows host that powers Azure).

He's not involved with CBL-Mariner team at all to my awareness. Mariner is mostly about solving a supply-chain problem at Microsoft... we have a ton of internal teams all using different flavors of Linux and packages have historically come from all over the place. With CBL-Mariner we are basically trying to unify on that and own the package build and distribution portion as well. There isn't much reason for a kernel designer to be involved in that as its a well-understood problem (and entirely different domain) and we already have internal upstream Linux kernel contributors (which is how produce -azure supported kernels).
I don't think the two-party system necessarily leads to strong polarization. The US has had mostly two parties for a very long time and yet polarization has ebbed and flowed. I highly suggest reading the following link about how transparency actually might be causing the polarization, not the voting structure: https://congressionalresearch.org/PartisanshipCitations.html

Absolute no-brainer if you ask me. Set it and forget it. Use the cool stuff when it works, let others beta test.

With respect to Microsoft being one of the worst privacy offenders, can you please expand on this?

Why can't you just unlink your Microsoft login and use offline account if you're using Windows, or use ad blockers? Even if you somehow see an ad aimed at you, why can't it be in your power to just ignore them? Think in the terms of "I'll only look up a product/services if I have a functional need for it" rather than fall to the trap of "just because I have lots of money doesn't mean I have to spend it today"?

A lot of times by the way if I see something I fancy, I'd end up looking at Amazon and find the best product at affordable cost, so I don't really click on any ads. If I recall even, I NEVER click on an ad, I'd go as far that I ignored sponsored ads in Amazon, so what's the problem with ads?

In my opinion all voice interfaces I have used (with the exception of very especialized software like Dragon Naturally Speaking) seem to have terrible locale settings for anything other than American English.

So sure if you are willing to talk to your car like you're a CNN news anchor, then yes voice interfaces are great and far safer than touch screens.
The article also says that Porsche owners crash more.

So I think this just shows a correlation between choice of car and type of person, which is not a new discovery...

As long as we don't have that same high standard for POTUS. I don't know if 45 or 46 would have qualified.
Is it not possible to just implement webauthn in software (e.g. as a browser extension, or like the SSH agent)? While that's not quite as secure as a hardware token, it's still better than using a password.
While this is definitely an issue, it doesn’t change the fact that third party candidates still end up as spoilers in most cases due to candidates not being required to gain > 50% of the vote (which ranked choice and approval voting both do).

Also, it would be great if we could make voting easy enough for people to do it every election. Focusing on just the presidency means that we have fewer candidates representing the will of the People in the off years.

You know a limited kind of capability - file descriptors (or kernel handles). Those are just a number that allow you to manipulate some object in a defined way. You can give this number to someone else, and they can't make use of it at all, you have to go ask the kernel (using e.g. a unix socket and ancillary messages) to pass the capability to another process.
In theory, a one-man business should "abstract as much as possible". In practice, it doesn't work out like this because you are responsible for everything about the business and it's easier to actually operate and maintain the relatively small number of bare-metal servers that run the business. Your advantage as a solo developer is that you can move fast at any time, and it's harder to do when you are encumbered with abstractions. That's not to say build versus buy isn't an evaluation that happens. There are strategic bets, maybe on analytics, or things that help, but aren't core to what you build.

This pattern plays out with many indie app developers as well, both now with iOS apps, and back in the day with Delphi shareware. The cost of taking a dependency on a 3rd party library turns out to be much higher for the solo developer than larger orgs. That's not to say they don't make bets, but they don't build the way that someone at a larger org would do because they have to maintain a higher degree of direct control.

Marco Arment (https://marco.org/) has elaborated a lot on this topic. You can also get a feel for the limits on the upper bounds of his developer experience. Many on HN are not willing to work at a low-level with such boring and dull technologies.

Sortition like this is an interesting idea, but you have forgotten that people who meet those criteria can be emotionally disturbed, mentally compromised, in a coma, physically unable to perform.

Also, what level of a criminal record? Only Felonies (i.e. "serious crimes") and above? Misdemeanors? Even a traffic ticket?

I'll also point out that not all HS diplomas are equal, HS in a few states like NY, Cali, Michigan, are far more rigorous/difficult than schools in say Alabama or Mississippi.

I'm reminded of efforts that most people put forth in limiting suffrage, any criteria you come up with tends to be very blind.

I've personally thought that Sortition is a great idea, but I thought using a system more like Jury duty would be better. Grab your random candidates and then have them interviewed by a few bipartisan lawyers and judges to make sure they're not obviously horrific people.
It is interesting you say that, because the symptoms do not cause the disease.

The problem always has been that the politicians have not heeded, let alone even represented the voters for a very long time now, hence why the voters who are the legitimate heirs are saying things you may not like.

It essentially comes down to rather basic things, abuse, dishonesty, laziness, hedonism, etc. that has caused a perversion and Distortion of the whole system that means to maintain peace affairs among people through mutually agreed upon terms. Unfortunately those terms have been consistently, grotesquely, and deliberately violated for many decades now.

It hasn’t even been Democracy, majority rule, for at least 60 years now; and democracy has also been perverted fundamentally by simply using psychological warfare techniques to gaslight the majority into self-sabotage.
> That's true for criminals, but what about distressed students? I could imagine that increasing friction would at least result in less deadly weapons being used.

See the Columbine massacre, that quite frankly put school shootings into the American psyche. Its not that easy, making firearms more difficult to get is something that should occur: closing loops on fire arm sells at conventions with no screening etc... but this alone won't stop the bigger issue, which I still remain convinced is a mental health issue.

People forget that even before school shootings, 'going postal' was a thing that referred to same thing occurring.
