> First CNN the way it is packaged and broadcast isn't really news, it's entertainment.

I think this is a problem with all cable news, and is more or less directly responsible for the dramatic polarization of US politics over the last 30 years. Politics looks more like sports now. Irrational fandom and support for one's "team" is fine when it is over something trivial like moving a ball from one end of the field to another. It becomes detrimental when it's over things that actually impact our lives.

Hell, before cable news, Republicans and Democrats didn't even get consistent colors on electoral maps. It used to be that blue meant "incumbent party" and red meant "challenging party".
I'm not surprised that there are people with this view, but I can't agree. They've had 4 years to ruin github, and haven't. Open-sourcing .NET Core, VS Code, powershell, etc and actively creating/supporting WSL is a huge change from their behavior in the 90s.

I don't use any of their software, but watching from a distance they appear to have been moving in a "good" direction for the last decade.
For me it's also because of anglophonocentric implementation of hotkeys that can wreck what I write if I'm not careful.
There are others were you will appreciate the job the police officer is doing. Like if you get your bike stolen and they track it down and return it to you. Or you get mugged and they catch the mugger.

Of course if your police are not doing this then you may not be inclined to rate them as highly.
Show HN: Automatically Detect Security Bugs in Your App/API
There are no good options for security testing applications/APIs. Most options are commercial and require complex setup and configurations.

We decided to build a free and open tool for instant App/API security testing. No sign-up is required. No complicated setup is needed either.

Point towards your API and get an instant report. The report helps your detect and fix security vulnerabilities in your APIs. These vulnerabilities could have led to data breaches and punitive damages.
The great thing about Matrix over Discord is that you have the option of using or building a client that better suits your needs. With Discord, I'm stuck with the myriad of UX decisions they've made that I disagree with, unless I want to risk a ToS ban for self-botting (Ripcord, which I do generally enjoy).
Glad he lived long enough to see analog synthesis make it back to the mainstream.
It doesn't matter how you "rate" cops if the police union goes to bat for bad cops and gets their jobs reinstated, or they just leave one department and move to another.

We know who the bad cops are. There's a list of them in Philadelphia who the District Attorney (the current, and previous) will never call to the witness stand because they give unreliable testimony.

https://www.inquirer.com/philly/news/crime/29-philly-officer...

There's no need for a new rating system. We need accountability for known bad cops.

Pipes don’t necessarily mean one has to use FS permissions. Eg a server could hand out anonymous pipes to authorized clients via fd passing on Unix domain sockets. The server can then implement an arbitrary permission check before doing this.
I routinely hit 100% of a core on Pianoteq on a 3 GHz i5 from a couple years ago (keep in mind it uses multiple cores). Pianoteq is definitely CPU-intensive. Diva hits around 50% and it's also considered CPU-intensive.

Parent was talking about national parks along the route. And, yes, although a few have shuttle buses--which may even be required--most require a car to do a lot more than take in a scenic overlook. Indeed, even in more compact parks (e.g. Crater Lake) just getting to a central jumping off point will be hard without a car.

(New Orleans itself is pretty explorable without a car.)
The question you need to be asking is the opposite: how can you demonstrate that bias has been eliminated? Sex bias was absolute and baked into law 100 years ago, and it has been slowly getting eliminated, but there has not been any point in time where we can demonstrate it’s gone, precisely because we have evidence it’s not gone yet. (Pay gap still exists, gender disparities between schooling and employment still exist, etc.)

We know for a fact that bias hasn’t been completely eliminated, because the ratios and disparities of many jobs including QA are changing quickly, they have not settled, and they are not the same from country to country. That is proof that cultural bias exists and is affecting today’s distributions. You can’t even reasonably ask the question of how to know how much a job depends on sex or gender until after you’ve eliminated cultural bias, because cultural bias masquerades as gender based preferences.

This page for cultural bias is as good any any other definition for my purposes here, which was purely to say that “cultural bias” is less inflammatory than “sexism”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_bias

When the jury reaching a verdict in the Depp/Heard trial is "breaking news" like it plastered across my TV screen the other day...then all hope is lost.
LOL. Great comment.

But it's not just Scotland. The War of the Roses had some multiple inheritance problems, too.
> How can you know the impact? It is not easy to measure.

Because I've never heard of this happening to anyone, nor can I recall anything about any random stranger (or acquaintance) that would matter from a viral video. It's a stupid concept. It doesn't happen. Top of front page reddit isn't even going to reach that many people and nobody will remember it. Oh no, you messed up a flirt and it's on THE INTERNET? Nobody cares. Nobody has ever cared.

> I had myself the "pleasure" of deciding whether to hire a person whose drunk photos from the bar were less than flattering. I decided to give him a chance, but in his case, he was a real alcoholic who could not be trusted with administration of a server.

What photos? His own? Are you suggesting a stranger randomly posted these photos along with identifying searchable details in a medium where he had no ability to block it? Or was he just a dumbass with a public profile and a bunch of junky photos? Was it one photo or a series of photos indicating he does this all the time from... a collection of strangers across different periods?

Sounds to me like its a very different situation than the proposed "random girl records your fail and ruins your life"

I use an Android phone without a Google account, and only F-Droid apps. It's possible.
It's a feature, for Google. They get to absolve themselves of any and all responsibility when it comes to their platform. Blame the bots, the system, the software, but not a single person is actually responsible for actions being taken. If we look at Youtube and DMCA, it's clear who Google cares about and it's certainly not individual users.
As long as you keep the Head of Government away from the sovereign, presidents can be harmless enough to avoid this kind of polarisation.

Maybe look at Ireland or Portugal as examples of republics where the president keeps the constitutional safeguards (dissolving parliament, vetoing laws, and what not), and you'll see that they are not exactly polarizing figures. Instead, the prime ministers are, as they should (they head partisan politics).
There is no harm

Two (or what your suggestion implies, N) nearly identical interesting things on the front page is less interesting than two different interesting things on the front page.

This is, in fact, a problem that afflicted HN more or less right off the bat as it does any crowdsourced link aggregator - Erlang days, etc. It is, as you say, entirely predictable and crushes interestingness.
A car that got <max traversable distance in a week> per 30 gallons would be awesome, and the existence of people who don’t drive that much wouldn’t change that fact.

You’re just validating my point that it’s a bad analogy in terms of blurring more than it clarifies.

Ah, in that case: Still seems kinda risky? Like, what if someone else submits a solution for the ticket I'm in the middle of? What if my solution is valid, but not accepted? What if it's incorrect, but in some subtle way that won't be discovered until next week?

Production work on an unfamiliar project warrants some discussion. I think in general I wouldn't make any significant contributions to a project before talking with the people running it and making sure we're on the same page.

And apologies for the initial curt reply—asking people who are looking for a job to work for free sets me off a bit. Algora looks like a really nice platform!
I don't know if this is more appropriate, but I've always thought of the monarch as PID 1, and parliament as a child process running under the root account.
We'd struggle to fairly take it back; probably not even worth trying. And whilst I never said so specifically I presumed it apparent that I never meant just the Queen. I accept I could have been clearer (sorry).

The first steps might be:

- An end to the honours system (entirely - even though many 'commoners' get them now it perpetuates the class concepts)

- Fair and universal application of inheritance tax to reduce the inequalities over the generations

- The taxation of assets (beyond a certain point so that people don't need to sell their home) and not just income

All those have arguments for/against, but it would be good for them to be honestly discussed and considered by those with the power to effect change.

With massive downsides. Sure, liquid hydrogen probably makes a lot more sense for a plane than these things. But I don't think "only for very long duration" is true at all.
Android had the same feature, assuming apps don't disable the tooltip. Selecting text on my phone brings a nice context menu for cut/copy/paste/search/translate/encrypt (that last one was added by OpenKeychain, a PGP app).

It doesn't come with a dictionary built in, but the search button becomes an online dictionary in a pinch. Any dictionary app could extend the menu to add a local dictionary, of course.
> [Discovery CEO] Zaslav and mentor and investor John Malone have been public about their push to bring CNN back towards hard news coverage, and away from progressive commentary.

Laudable, and I hope they succeed. The progressive angle on everything has really undermined a lot of their credibility - and assuming they're able/willing to make the requisite changes internally to make this happen, it will still take years to regain that trust from their audience across the entire spectrum of viewers.

CNN came to prominence during the first Iraq invasion, because of their live coverage from inside Iraq.

Do you drive a car? I am asking because statistically speaking, it's the number one killer of people from age 21-65. Very few drivers go their whole life without getting in an accident.

Statistically, on any given day, the odds of being in an accident are quite low. However, if you drive for 30-60 minutes every day, you are exposing yourself to a low amount of risk consistently over time, which inevitably means that one day, your number will come up.

Most people don't have a background in probability or they haven't taken the time to look at driving, but for those who consider themselves normally "rational", they're often very surprised to see just how dangerous driving a car really is, but they just weren't aware of the amount of risk.

Analyzing the risk of driving every day is an exercise worth doing. That being said, I have a fairly high level of risk tolerance, so I drive to work every day because I live just a little too far to reasonably walk, and riding a bike would be a higher risk than driving because of lack of adequate road shoulders for much of the route between my workplace and home.
Thanks for making this. It is a very handy tool!

"open source" isn't a very helpful label/designation IMHO with regards to this. "Open source" can describe somebody's hacked together personal project or AOSP, which are wildly different.
So does anyone have a sense of what this means if you have an account with Varo? I mean, they are FDIC insured, so if they go under, is it just a matter of time until one gets their funds back?
Considering how many of these "Google killed my X, Y or Z" posts I've seen on Hacker News. This really doesn't feel like anything to celebrate. It is just further proof that Google could, in theory, provide the support at the level necessary for these things, but just won't.

Honestly, I know their job is hard, but if they simply put a legitimate task force together to figure out how to provide support at scale (even if it costs a premium to handle it, or possibly even a premium to do a proper appeal), I could see it helping immensely.

Basically, if you want to do an appeal for something, it will cost, and depending on the violation and how often the violation is, the cost goes up. The appeal requires them to be clear about what the violation is, and what needs to be done to resolve it. Perhaps even make it that if you get an appeal with clear details and you resolve the issue, a certain percentage of the money will be refunded.

Basically, instead of assuming everyone who their algorithms says is total evil is evil, they allow some form of good will that would help businesses, individuals and organizations work with them. I know the spammers and scammers are a huge pain, but then fine, charge them for the cost. The ones that are legit will pay and will work with Google if Google will work with them.

One of the most important role of PMs is to tell the team what not to implement. Or which feature to remove.

I worked with a couple of good PMs which were good at that: and product and profits really improved. The worse PMs are the one which just say: customer x wants y - we need to implement y. Without thinking of market landscape, future, training costs, etc.

> I'll agree to international aid, but why open borders?

Because it's in everyone's interest. The need to migrate can arise unexpectedly at any time.. natural disasters, wars, climate change, economic collapse, etc, etc, etc. You want to promote norms that will help you if you were in the same situation, which you can be quite easily.
It's really just exploiting our biological tribal mentality. It'll never go away.

Better yet, for some people, the expectation of this mostly-async communication is that you will respond as quickly as they type.

My adult son deals with anxiety, and when he's stressed, I'll get multiple texts in a row. If I'm not responding for some reason, one of them will be "???" as in, "hello, are you going to respond?"

A bit of temperature-lowering, sanity enhancement, comes from using the auto-set sleep/focus settings in iMessage, and training him to understand that random texts in the middle of the night can, and will wait until we're awake enough to look. If it's really that critical, a phone call can still work.
This is impressive and I love it. Love this type of content where "old" or different hardware is augmented in a hacky way.

> Opinion pieces are strewn throughout regular news links,

So, like that entertainment channel with "News" on the name that was on judicial record saying that, for one of their commentators, "his audience doesn’t expect him to report facts"?

But for some reason it's not seen as a negative there by its main audience? (whereas for CNN it is seen as more negative?)

It is fairly standard in the poker world to discuss total winnings in tournaments rather than net winnings.

When discussing net winnings, it’s usually discussed using an ROI measure (e.g., 30% roi over their past 100 MTTs between $1000 and $5000) rather than just dollars, since the biggest winners in dollars are almost all winners of super high roller tourneys like the Big One for One Drop.

Furthermore, live MTT results in general are often skewed due to the unmatched (?) softness of the $10k wsop main event for a field that size.

With regards to Annie Duke in particular, I never considered her a “good” pro poker player. That said, she was pretty good at fleecing amateurs, and she was able to play a tight game when she was outclassed.
Hi,

This is an awesome project, congratulations!

Could you share details about the machine translation engine that is used (or where to find out more about it)? Are there any plans to open source the extension code (with the WebAssembly optmizations that are mentioned in the article)?

Thanks.

Lots of open source code is released without any profit motive. This sort of code is probably not a huge vector for privacy violations, but we should be clear that the authors are just doing a nice favor to society and owe us nothing.

Should the authors of wget have to describe the fact that communicating on the internet requires talking to servers, and if you use domain names, you'll also have to leak information to DNS servers?
Every board meeting now probably whittles down to complaints about the CEO's erratic behavior and then a review of earnings.

The world has gone into survival mode and that creates the worst kinds of people and products... Many of these companies running on profit auto pilot will fail, and that may be the best thing to happen because they really stopped doing the good they were created for in bids to attract and codify investors.

They'll hopefully be replaced by better companies that bring back innovation. We really haven't been innovating game-changing IT for years now in my opinion, I think that disruption will only happen when these legacy companies get accountable product owners that know what they are doing and when they stop looking primarily and only at the wrong (ROI) cues for product development.
used to love this kind of stuff, but to be honest, youtube clickbait has kind of sucked the joy out of most intentionally ridiculous projects for me, by sheer oversaturation, or maybe just because a lot of it seems kind of insincere these days, whatever that even means.

Big tech gives employees RSUs. There's little risk for employees and huge upside. Startups offer options, which employees have to buy with their own cash, and deal with tax implications. Average engineer can only get burned so many times before realizing startups are crap deals.

As for the addon, on Android you'll need to install an unstable version of Firefox and configures a custom addon list in an addons.mozilla.org account that includes it so you can download it.

On iOS there isn't any option to download addons as far as I'm aware. On mobile Linux environments everything should work like on desktop.
