No it doesn't. Here's the comment in full:

We actually do not intentionally censor any news results, meaning media outlets are not being removed or their stories displayed so far down in the results they are effectively removed. That is, unless legally prohibited, you should find all media outlets in our results, and they should generally show on top if you search for them by name or domain name. If you are seeing otherwise, please let me know and we will investigate.

A search engine's primary job is to rank results, trying to put results that most quickly and accurately answer the query on top. We do this ranking in a strictly non-partisan manner. Ranking for news-related searches is particularly difficult because for most news stories there are often hundreds of media outlets covering the same story, many with similar relevancy in terms of keyword matching and popularity. As such, we look to another ranking factor to ensure just the top of the results aren't taken by obviously very low-quality news results so that users have more sources of relevant, high-quality news results to compare and choose between.

The non-partisan factor we've found to help accomplish this is a rare, but well-documented history of a site's complete lack of news reporting standards, such as routinely using spam or clickbait to artificially inflate traffic, consistently publishing stories without citing sources, censoring stories due to operating with very limited press freedom, or misleading readers about who owns, funds, and authors stories for the site. And since we do not censor sites, even state-sponsored media in countries with very limited press freedom, these sites will still show up in results, and even on top like when you search for them directly.
**

With that context, RT is a media outlet with "very limited press freedom" where journalists must censor their articles or else face jail time, or worse. And RT still shows up in our results, and on top if you search for it directly, e.g., https://duckduckgo.com/?q=rt+ukraine&ia=web

> What power does any single refrigerator company have over me?

It doesn't have to be a single company per se - all the companies could hold power over you at the same time.

E.g. if most huge refrigerator companies agree (explicitly or implicitly) to all include "smart" features that violate the customers' privacy, then the refrigerator companies hold power over you - you can't buy a refrigerator without "smart" features, as there aren't any on the market. You can ask for a "dumb" refrigerator, but ultimately you aren't the one making the refrigerators, so you don't make the decisions. Perhaps some other company will join in, and try to fill in the niche of "dumb" refrigerators, but they will either not have the resources/connections of the already-established companies, or their efforts will be undermined by the already-established companies in order to keep their power, or they might even succeed but have their refrigerators so expensive that privacy-seeking people have to pay premium in order to get it.
You're getting downvoted for the snark, but yeah, this is an explicitly political move wrapped up in the mantle of "safety", which has little if anything to do with physical safety these days.

That said, I'm a little surprised to see that apparently Orlando scores worse on crime than Chicago. Score one for the Mouse's marketing department?

North Carolina Senate leaders strike 'right to repair' from 2022 Farm Act
Author of the article here. From what I understand it puts the private key material on the Yubikey itself and then during the signing part of SSH authentication the SSH client asks the yubikey to do the signature. The private key never leaves the device.
The plan is to not accept any such restrictions going forward, and this limited one is the only one we have.
However you can restrict what local government gets to pick from so that there's less arbitrary variation.

For example we don't need a code in one town that requires ramps with inclines no more than 15% and maximum distance between flat stages of 10 metres, then the next town has 2 in 11 inclines and vertical climb between stages maximum two and a half feet. They both actually want "You know, a ramp, for like wheelchairs and prams and stuff" and they shouldn't be left to make up the specifics.
No, the private key never leaves the YubiKey. SSH and GPG talk to the YubiKey as if it were a smartcard - data is send to the key to be signed or encrypted.

Doesn't Japan have a tradition of long surviving privately held companies? Perhaps there are some lessons there

> Back in 2008, a Bank of Korea report found that of 5,586 companies older than 200 years in 41 countries, 56% of them were in Japan. In 2019, there were over 33,000 businesses in Japan over a century old, according to research firm Teikoku Data Bank. The oldest hotel in the world has been open since 705 in Yamanashi and confectioner Ichimonjiya Wasuke has been selling sweet treats in Kyoto since 1000.

I've often wondered why Japan seems to maintain a culture of high quality artisinal work when the rest of the world is trending toward cheaper, lower quality mass produced goods. Perhaps these are related.

Give it some time, wasm, webgpu/wgpu, etc will be more and more "normal". For now they are both in use, but kind of niche.

Most times I take the train is visiting my parents and it's a 9–10 hour journey. Considering that total time, half an hour certainly isn't that big of a deal. And by car the same distance would take nearly the same time, if not more, as the motorway isn't clear of other cars whenever you travel.

Admittedly, the most probable leg of the journey to get late or be disruped in any way is the very first one. Living in a town that has no long-distance rail connection you're forced to use local trains to the next major city anyway.

We do have historical weather data, so there should be no reason to guess if a certain amount of storage and oversupply is sufficient.
I would be far more positive on renewables if people could point to simulations that given this grid, storage, energy production and weather data that would have happened during that time period in that area.

> The 10 hottest years on record for the entire planet have all been in the 21st century.

The 10 hottest years in the last ~century that is. Also, see my post on temperature extremes just below this one for some anecdata on which period in time was good for the most records (1920-1940). Going by the data that period was far warmer - and in some places also quite a bit colder - than it is now.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31557076

Also have a look at the Atlantic period (6500 BC-4000 BC, also referred to as "the Holocene climatic optimum") when talking about "the hottest years on record". Notice that the sea rose up to to 3 m above the present level after which it started to go down due to water being locked into glaciers again. The end of the climatic optimum lies somewhere around 2800 BC going by temperature decline or 2300 BC to 1100 BC (depending on where you look) as evidenced by elm-decline, the latter of which being disputed as to whether it was (and is, we are again in a period of elm-decline) the result of temperature decline or human activity or a combination of these two factors.
The idea that monopolies are formed due to government intervention runs counter to my lived experience of watching the Google Search and Facebook monopolies form in largely unregulated markets. The only viable competitors to Facebook were acquired before they could become a threat, Google meanwhile has used its search monopoly to fund monopolistic takeovers of other markets (web browsers come to mind).

No browser can provide 100% protection if for no other reason than the tracker landscape is constantly evolving as it works to evade our protections. We will re-evaluate our marketing messages, though as a comparison look at how the major browsers market their tracking protections and yet do not even attempt to provide any script blocking, let alone have major holes in their cookie protection (see https://privacytests.org/).
Sure, they have been declining overall[0]. But here in Germany, we still have 2.3M traffic accidents, 321K injuries and 2654 fatalities[1]. While I'd agree that 2.6K fatalities per year for 83M population doesn't reach the level of crisis (but 321K injuries, even if many will be minor ones, to me sound crisis-adjacent at least), still a lot of these accidents and injuries and deaths could be avoided with tech we have today.

That said, the "drowsiness" cameras in particular seem problematic, while the rear-view cameras for reversing/parking seem not problematic[2].

[0] The 2022 numbers compared to 2021 saw quite an increase, in Germany at least[1], tho. I'd guess it might have a lot to do with people "going outside" again a lot more, including fewer people still being in full-time home office and thus needing to commute again.

[2] Anecdote: my mom recently narrowly avoided running into/running over a kid crawling on the street when she was reversing out of a parking spot, thanks to the rear-camera and sensors which immediately sounded alarms; she'd not have had a chance to see the kid in time without that according to her. While she was going very slow and chances are it wouldn't have been a life-threatening injury, it would have been some injury regardless with a lot more stress and trauma for everybody involved, the kid, her, the kid's parents.

Interesting article, but I found the ending unsatisfactory.

The nipple's intuitive, everything subsequent is learned.

KDE has (or at least had, I can't find the setting now) the option to toggle between showing menu items by function/description (eg 'file manager') or name (eg 'dolphin'). I set it to the latter years ago, but the default was the former.

KDE (contemporary) from the Launcher (start menu) you can start typing in 'file' and it'll bring 'Dolphin' to the top with the description 'file manager'.

Obviously Alt-F1 or clicking on the K button bottom left in a default setup isn't genetically intuitive, but I'd suggest that it's as close as we can get in 2022.

Anyway, this isn't really the point, I suspect.
Fair enough. Indeed - "fast" for async programs does not come out of vacuum. We just don't need to wait for IO (db, other http calls, whatever) which is common in web applications. Thus it "feels faster".

Though personally when I mentally imagine web frameworks "speed" - it is requests per second as well as getting better bang for your buck out of your hardware.

Great writeup - I think we are on the same page.
I'm the CTO at a relatively well established medical device company (EEG/ECG). Before I arrived at my current company I spent a year of my own time tinkering in the BP space. The article, while relatively, light on details gives a pretty good sense of the problem with trying to replicate the traditional BP measurements using the optical methods used by smartwatches.

Smartwatches and similar devices use photoplethysmography (PPG) to measure blood oxygen saturation. The heme units in blood have different reflectance/absorbance spectra depending on their level of oxygen saturation. The only difference between the fingertip pulse oxygen sensors used in clinical settings and those used in smartphones is that the clinical ones use transmission, whereas the watches use reflection. While the methods are different, they arrive at very similar numbers (+/- skin color & racial biases).

Unlike pulse oximeters of yore, smart watches can take many thousands of readings per second. And if you offset your photodiodes by a known distance, you can calculate pulse transit time, and a variety of other measures beyond just your spo2.

The challenge has been in translating these measures back into systolic and diastolic blood pressure. To be accepted by the FDA you need to be able to show that your device is +/- 3mmHg. That's just not doable right now for the reasons mentioned in the article.

That said, the measures that you can get from high-speed PPG are probably not useless. But these measures aren't backed up ~200 years of medical practice. It is a very long road to introduce new measures into the medical system. Not only do you need to get FDA clearance to sell your device, but you need to navigate the reimbursement system to find someone who will pay for your device. Doing this in a 5 year time span would be unheard of. While cardiologists would like a better system than cuff based BP measurement, the upside of a better system is limited by the current medical system. And there's a significant cost and downside risk to anyone pushing for something different.

One company that I spoke to and is still working on the problem comes with an impressive biomedical pedigree, and they're starting in the non-diagnostic "wellness" space.

Another company is using mm-wave radar to measure pulse waves in a different way, but it appears that they've pivoted from being directly challenging the BP status quo into now selling their hardware sensors to more well established medical device companies.

Long story short, I'd be impressed to see blood pressure cuffs retired in my lifetime.

> $100-$500 is a drop in the bucket for projects of this scale.

Agree, but also depends on the location. But seems even the cheapest places to live in the world comes close to $500 a month for living costs.

$1000-$5000 would have been nicer, then people in those locations would have at least a chance at a 10 month runway for the highest grant amount.

I don't think the author is expecting people to finish any of the funded projects, just to kickstart them or even give some inspiration.
Mostly by spending more money. Especially France and Japan built special rails only to be used by high speed trains. While those exist in Germany, there are less of them and they mostly don't reach from station to station but instead near the city centers high speed trains share rails with slower trains.
As others have said, it is impossible to verify your statement because the verification method is kept hidden because "it would be dangerous".
I've found the biggest issue with this is that people forget they've deployed it. It just gets left there until it's sufficiently out of date that a security issue pops up.

Two envelopes problem
To add to what rgoulter said, you can use your default system configuration plus whatever the project says you need (and the project's shell will override any conflicts with your default).

However, if you really want to make sure that you're not including anything from your system, you can have direnv pass the `--pure` flag, which will then include only the dependencies from the project and nothing else. This is helpful to make sure that you're not accidentally relying on something already on your system when you declare the project dependencies.
Right. And that "when" is actually "always, eventually," because free markets create concentration of wealth (in practice, not in theory, which implies the theory isn't all that useful). So, you might as well modify this to "free markets never work in the long run."
Seems like this is actually a proof against fractional reserve banking in favor of full-reserve banking.
Heh, of course "it's still a thing" it's even wildly successful in that it has become "just another ISA/platform" from a programmer's point of view.

Of course it can never live up to the early unrealistic hype created by business people (mainly startups chasing after VC money I guess?), but of course this was very clear to the technical people from the very beginning.

When you draw this analogy it becomes obvious that it is a false statement. The problems is not that AIs (or humans) recommend stuff. The problem is what objective is maximised by the recommendation system/person. One might say the objectives of AIs are constrained by profit driven behaviour but that is a problem of how the servers and developers are financed not of the technology.
