I learned hacking from orkut at age 14. Haha, nice script-kiddies days, that's why I say to everyone:

“To be a hacker, you have to be a script kiddie before”
Yes and they even make double hopping easy. Many other VPNs don't like this, presumably because they have to eat 3 times the traffic.
There are multiple studies showing how flouride in toothpaste and drinking water prevents cavities, and is non toxic. Where is your evidence to the contrary?
Perhaps I’m forgetting but was HIMEM control not something that was pretty well known since early on in the C64? I didn’t think it was a secret. There’s articles describing it’s use in January of 1983.

The part about it not being your problem is fantasy. When the author of this article leaves a bad review, it becomes your problem.

You are unlikely to be able to pursue the author and force them to remove their review, so your choices are to not change the icon, or change the icon and accept the bad review. That’s certainly your problem.
Sorry, this is a pet peeve of mine. The expression "free speech" has a meaning outside the US constitution. It's like if I were to start quoting the Magna Carta at you. I'd further argue that it clearly has a meaning outside of a legal one.
HOLY COW. I believe I have been running into this weird bug for years now, even through getting a new Mac (iMac 27" 2015 -> 2020). I could never figure out _why_ things would slow down like this. I would just reboot and everything would be all better. At first I thought it was my iMac or the memory, but after a new computer that couldn't be the case! I have external drives, and often use them, so that's why this seems to happen. But I will confirm next time does.
I find this fascinating and in some ways consoling. I know for a fact that at least one of my parents had truly severe trauma when growing up; the other may have had trauma as well.
Because you live with young(er), rich, white, college-educated people - most likely. Android has great market penetration but that cohort has firmly fallen to Apple.
Yeah, strong agree
On the buying side we always used to joke that we could hire someone who’s entire job would be updating peoples passwords for less than they were charging and still have 30hrs/wk of an engineer. Sadly no one volunteers to be the password bitch.
He solves it himself in the article: "So the proposition that consciousness is computation leads quite inevitably to an extreme panpsychism. Even if we could stomach a traditional conception of panpsychism that posits that all things are conscious in some primitive way, this goes far beyond that. We are forced to conclude that all things aren’t just vaguely conscious, but they contain all consciousnesses, including our own!"

Yes, so why can't panpsychism be correct? It's far more intuitive than postulating some magical qualia substance that permeates the universe (or however that's supposed to work).
Apple has some incentive to protect its users, as they are real customers.

Google is at least clear, that they will suck in any data, they can get. But most of their clients are rather the product and not customers.

And Zuckerberg has literally stated his disrespect for his users from the very beginning. "Dumb fucks to trust him".
I use this style of writing often, in conjunction with markdown documents.

Also, I find that using bullet points helps to visualize the sentences better, especially when used hierarchically.

> [...] it seems kinda disingenuous to me to tell users that they're more private because they use a VPN. Private from your ISP, sure [...]

Bit of a contradiction there. It adds friction to at least some attacks against your privacy. That's better privacy.

Nothing will ever be perfect, and VPNs can easily be oversold in terms of their benefits (especially since https became the norm). But they have benefits in some common use-cases.

> Also it seems all I need to do as an "attacker" is subpoena (or whatever the Swedish equivalent is) Mullvad while your payment record is on file and I get the info I want. If Mullvad really wanted to go hardcore why not only sell little top up cards cash-only at kiosks?

They accept cash and at least some other privacy preserving payment methods already.
It means when you see Apple and Facebook fighting, you SUPPORT it. Every minute they're busy with each other is one less minute they can devote to fist fucking the public.
> As part of that bargain, you have to identify your app visually so I can find it.

If the problem is that apps change logos then that should be criticized, not activism. If the problem is with political causes that should be the focus, not interface. To mix both seems an excuse to legitimate one criticism using the other.

> females are worse at handling acute stress which is associated with STEM related jobs

I don't believe that jobs like programming involve more "acute stress" than medicine or law, which many women have moved into. Not to mention nursing, as Swenrekcah pointed out. Or teaching for that matter.
I think what people despise most about it is that SSO is sold as an enterprise feature. That would be ok if it was sold separately. But often SSO comes bundled with a lot of overpriced garbage in some enterprise agreement. Github is a prime example of this.

Old DSLR - I think there’s an issue with latency that you’ll find on many older DSLRs - converting out to HDMI in real-time - that makes them impractical for use as webcams. Make sure you record yourself in a test conference first and verify.
I sit next to our support "team" pretty frequently :)

We've had a couple painful SSO integrations (when they were home-grown, as you correctly point out), but we've pretty much got the rough edges sanded down now. I don't think we've had a tough one in a while.

It helped to publish some short docs on it: https://tuple.app/sso_setup
The big question is - maybe we should really move away from capitalism, to something like communism, but more like crazy utopic communism, where everyone is CEO? So such kind of problems wouldn't really happen? How do you think, could it help?

We also have a Vitamix blender with the stick, I'll have to try that sometime. My feeling is it's probably pretty close to the Creami. And the Vitamix is obviously much more versatile, but it's also quite a lot more expensive. Ours is over a decade old though, so I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Vitamix, but is it 4-10x better than a cheaper blender? The answer to that is going to depend on the person. It's a beast though!

If you have a Vitamix, you may not need a Creami.

Industrial languages and their syntax can be learned pretty quickly once core computer science concepts have been grokked.
No, I really wouldn't, and don't. This is the kind of thing that reads to me as honest for a new in-development language: https://github.com/cruxlang/crux#status

Features are explicitly listed as working, partially done, and not yet implemented. You're really truly allowed to say "This doesn't work yet, but we're working on...", and it is legitimate to criticize people for choosing to lie instead.

That's not viable when Apple prevents you from installing arbitrary software on their devices. You can just say use Android but that is also fraught with compromises as well.
It's a tiny minor annoyance to me sometimes, but I don't usually groupchat (and the most annoying thing I've seen with group chats is if there are other iPhoners it is REALLY WAY TOO DAMN EASY to accidentally FaceTime them all).
Anyone got examples? What are we talking about here? Rainbow flags? Ukrainian flags? BLM colors? The GNU logo?
The hacker did use a VPN, but they also posted snippets of the stolen data online, possibly to brag or find potential buyers, that eventually led to their real identity.

VPN isn't cruise control to anonymity. Being based in a country without an extradition treaty to the US probably offers much better protection e.g. Russia, China.
This looks interesting, but you really, really need a demo because I would really like to see how a tour works.
Back when Microsoft used to adopt interoperable standards and make modifications to it to kill the standard, people here rightfully called that behaviour evil. Apple get's a pass for doing the same for SMS.
I agree because the whole point of being able to run on metal is to have fewer turtles. How many vendors control the space between your code and your computer? Who controls your memory? I think those are questions worth asking. My goal is simply to help people get closer to the source.
Self-Driving Big Rigs Are Coming. Is America Ready?
I'm always confused by statements like these. You can see similar dynamics playing out on artists' social media feeds for example, where people are upset when the artist talks about politics instead of their craft. Artists, developers, and everyone else is at the end of the day still a human being, not a machine that's there only to produce the content you want to consume. Getting a useful app for free (!) and then getting upset over what color its icon is or whatnot seems absurdly entitled.
When I owned a bar for a short period of time a regular was a dentist and he said most dental procedures are unnecessary. I mentioned the last time i went to the dentist 10 years ago I was told I had seven cavities. He took a quick look and called their bullshit.
I actually did take 10 seconds, scrolled down and saw the pricing page, decided not to click that because so many services only show the janky crypto payment option during a janky checkout process so decided not to bother and just ask here in the remaining 2 seconds. It worked.
> Personally, I'm waiting for the day you can hack PostmarketOS onto a phone and just use it as a phone, but that's not going to happen any time soon on closed hardware.

For a select few devices, my personal favorite being the Xiaomi Poco F1 [0], [1] (despite afaik needing Windows to unlock its bootloader), this is already true. Sure, that's not "every phone", but at least one relatively available and nice (for the price) phone.

Imagine if your bar was instead a chain of bars, and they didn't stock (for example) Belgian ales, and they were so powerful a bunch of Belgian ale makers have gone out of business due to that decision. That's a more accurate analogy.

Ohhh, I see. I did not know that, thanks.
> But it means if you're not professional there can be consequences. If someone is insubordinate at work (disobeying a manager, creating sarcastic/mocking backlog issues) its common grounds for termination and blacklisting. I'm not saying this to support the status quo, I'm saying this as advice for people reading these threads and trying to navigate professional waters. It would be bad advice to suggest otherwise.

But this is the exact same depersonalization rhetoric. It's some nebulous "world" that is enforcing all of these oh so unfair rules that I certainly don't agree with but have no choice but to follow also because we all agreed ahead of time what is "professional" and "unprofessional" and if you are "unprofessional", I "have to" punish you according to a formula rather than listen to your actual human complaint.

But it's all bullshit, there is no "have to" in this equation, nothing bad happens to you if you do the actual right thing. Let's call it for what it is, you want to treat it as an interpersonal conflict rather than a management failure because that absolves you from confronting structural failings in the system. But you also know that admitting such things, to yourself or others, would make you a moral hypocrite, so you invent a hypothetical other that makes you "have to" do it that way because the system has been good to you so far out of good fortune and you are afraid of what will happen if the same flawed system is now flawed against you.

That's why people do the perfect victim blaming. They want to be convinced that if the system ever came for them, a just outcome would arise because they, of course, would be totally justified and above reproach as a victim while the manifest failures of the system against other people are a result of individual exceptionalism that causes those instances not to count because they had it coming.

I'm simply asking people be honest and admit that this is what this is rather than hiding behind cowardly "professionalism" as a bunch of made up nonsense that is simply there to protect the system.
> Why do you assume that verbal signals can induce any possible change in symbolic state in a brain?

OK let's backup.

What would it mean to say that "qualia are reducible to a symbolic representation" if they cannot be expressed by language ?

It seems to me that language includes all possible symbolic representations. Can you give an example of a symbolic representation that is not expressible by language ?
Can confirm, I've seen it on a couple Macs starting around that year.

Just another symptom of the users not truly having control over "their" devices.

If you don't like the logo, swap it the application files. Oh wait, sources are unavailable? If you want your phone to serve you, guess you better jump on the FLOSS bandwagon.
So people should hold back their opinions during specific celebrations or they are homophonic?

That is… an insane stretch to say the least.
A good chunk of Transactor is also available at https://archive.org/details/transactor-magazines, which does happen to be a huge database to store this kind of information.

It's nice to see it available elsewhere too. At first glance, the quality of the files at commodore.ca seems higher than archive.org. And having redundant sources rather than relying on one source for archiving this sort of thing is encouraging.
I hate it when apps change long used icons for any reason. Make its hard to find the app. I'm still annoyed about Google changing the icons for all of their android suite a few revisions ago.

If you have to virtue signal, there are better ways to do it than changing the icon.
That’s a solution that works for 150-year-old universities, not for little indie publishers. If we don’t have solutions that work for obscure and unpopular ideas - like Susie Bright in the 1980s - what good is the right to free speech?

I wish that regulation was the answer, but back in the day, government censorship was the problem. Which also fell disproportionately on small and weak organizations. In the 80s and 90s, in Canada, there were Supreme Court cases about small LGBT-identified bookstores routinely having their orders seized by Customs on obscenity grounds.

EDIT: I don’t know what I believe any more. We know that censorship falls heavily on on unpopular speech from marginalized people, no matter whether it’s government or private industry. On the other hand, without censorship or regulation, it seems to be true that content providers and adtech will turn about 10-15% of the population insane with far-right conspiracy theories.
Yes it can. That's the core use-case we're supporting. So let me work on more wordsmithing :)
One more reason to support linux phones. And yes, I know how inconvenient they can be compared to other models, but people should make the effort or else we will always live with these kinds of problems.
This is great! Reminds me of Mailbrew, but with a simple layout, focused on the content itself.

I don't know about the statistics reported to the European level but most Dutch railways don't take into account "cancelled" trains when determining punctuality. A train is "cancelled" when it's 30 minutes late and therefore doesn't alter the punctuality scores.

It does stop at all stops unless it's really late and passengers might as well get out at a stopover station and transfer trains, however if it's sufficiently delayed it may be put on side tracks to let other trains pass to prevent a ripple effect, delaying the train even more to keep the rest of the system working well.
HN has millions of users, so of course there's a wide spectrum of views. Any view that is sufficiently represented in society as a whole will appear here, regardless of how bad the argument is or feels. Moreover, HN users are all over the world, and geography (as a proxy for background and culture) has a huge influence on how people view these things. Surprisingly many of these disputes on HN come from people in one part of the world arguing with people in another part of the world without necessarily realizing it.

So while you're right that someone regularly "comes along to say $X", that's a function of population size and distribution. You can't generalize from that to the community as a whole, any more than to the human race as a whole. In the latter sense, sure, maybe "we" should really be above $badness by now, but saying that doesn't contribute to the hard work of persuasion, and neither does condemnation or name-calling or fulmination—however justified those reactions feel, they just contribute to cementing things as they are.

Edit: just for clarity:

I understand and sympathize with the frustration when you (I don't mean you personally) feel like a site is 'your' community on the internet and then you run into posts that aren't just wrong but are squarely outside the bounds of what decent people believe or say. It creates a feeling of a hostile environment that is even worse than if you had gone in expecting hostility. I wrote about this here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23308098.

The problem though is that those bounds are drawn very differently in different subgroups of society (and the world at large) and the population here is large and distributed enough to include all those subgroups. That means it's constantly and unavoidably pregnant with conflict. For most of us, any social conflicts we're implicitly part of are insulated and regulated by the subgroup(s) we belong to. In our world, for practical emotional purposes, approximately 'everyone' agrees. There may be an occasional holiday family dinner where the larger divisions break out, but (at least for a lot of us) that's about it. The population as a whole, however, can't regulate itself that way. A population as large as HN is in the 'hostile family dinner' situation all the time, only orders of magnitude more complex and worse, and spread all over the world.

I don't think the solution can be to exclude subgroups. It has to be to communicate across differences. One could call it 'supported communication across differences', where by 'supported' I mean having a scaffolding of principles that everyone is expected to follow (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html, in HN's case.)

In practice, yes, that does mean going backward and having arguments that "we" should be beyond by now. But that's because there are many different versions of "we" here. If you take all the basis vectors of HN and consider the full opinion space they expand into, I'm not sure it's that much less complex or diverse than the entire world.

You can usually weasel your way in to see the basic business page, I even got a way to get the posts, but it is really freaking annoying. I hate it (and learned that my local government posts to FB and not to their own website sometimes).
Postal system is not perfect. Post code databases are not perfect. The post codes were (and are) different, but post would get mixed up.

>Here’s the deal, you’re going to die.

The level of arrogance or just compelete lack of understanding is mind boggling here.

If I get cancer and that cancer kills me, that cancer will not kill anyone else.

If I die because of some man-made chemical, the source that I got that chemical from is still there and will affect others as well.

Not all sources of death are the same. Some are much more nasty. Man-made things like PFAS chemicals have been known to be nasty for a long time by their makers. Those makers have chosen to hide it. Any attempt at "we're all going to die" in order to lessen the guilt of these companies is just shameful on all who spread it, and you should be ashamed.
The app might be "yours", but once you gave it to another person to install it on their phone, you should not abuse their hospitality. You don't rerrange furniture in a home you're visiting if you have good manners.
It's not yet considered malpractice. There is usually a standard of care, but that is not a clearly written standard. It's more like, "we think it is up to standard or not" in each case. I'm not a dentist but this is the way state boards work in my field (veterinary medicine) which is similar. Naturally they are more worried about practitioners who overlook problems than practitioners who are overly cautious.

Malpractice would be if you had no evidence of a caries (exploratory, radiographic or other test) and you recommended a procedure anyway. That may have been the case, but usually they have varying opinions of whether a particular lucency on an x-ray representes a caries, or whether it should be filled. Or there is also a machine that is used to detect caries that are not always radiographically evident. So your dentist probably could claim it was there but other dentists wouldn't recommend filling until there was more evidence of a problem.

Until the governing bodies or associations dictate what the go/no-go criteria are for filling, the dentists will have wide leeway to convince you either way.
Apple is not compromise of anything. It's a company that is evil, but only isn't yet because it didnt win in all the market segments. But as soon as it gains majority share they will fuckover all their customers, because they are evil and they can. iPhone is already a hell hole from a lockin and customer freedom perspective.
Did the hygienist measure your gaps and recommend interdental toothbrush sizes so you can do it yourself regularly? Tepe is a good brand but any really will do as long as you know what size to use. My hygienist measured and wrote sizes down for each gap between teeth.
