No, that's not what I'm saying at all. Okay, let's cut the bullshit. What are these LGBT-oriented businesses exactly? I'm clearly trying to figure out whether being "LGBT-oriented" has anything to do with this decision by Stripe.
We know that correlation is not thinking, but it is good enough for it to help or to be used as a starting point which is why people appreciate it as code documentation in this case or code completion in Github co-pilot.
I hadn't realized but it's sometimes even mentioned in some of Haruki Murakami's stories.
Just in case you want to look at the transmission with an RTL-SDR or something like that: it transmits on 433.92MHz for an an external reference of 6.7458MHz. It's on page 8 of the CY800 datasheet.
The only ones I know of are the Roland A-80 (somewhat rare) and Kurzweil MIDIBoard (very rare), both circa 1988.

The Gem S2 and S3 (as mentioned by TheOtherHobbes) from around 1992 - these do indeed have poly aftertouch, but neither of them are weighted.

Ensoniq was the company who most consistently used poly aftertouch in their keyboards during this era, but AFAIK only ever on the synth-weight keys. For their models that had weighted keyboards, they would use a keybed made by Fatar which only provided regular aftertouch, not poly.
Good but long read. I think it'd take additional time in creating the articles, but any plans to make short videos on such blog posts so that's easier to consume ?

I doubt I'm unique in this regard.

> why doesn't pypi verify that uploader and developer coincide?

How would that verification process work?

I have failed to find a PyPI requirement that they coincide.

It appears that if you have a public repo with a FOSS project but no PyPI entry then anyone is free to use your repo to create a PyPI entry. It's not quite namesquatting given that it's (at least at the start) the same code base.

I'm not sure if PyPI even allows a name transfer to you, if I read https://peps.python.org/pep-0541/#name-conflict-resolution-f... correctly:

] None of the following qualify for package name ownership transfer ... User A owns a project X outside the Package Index. User B creates a package under the name X on the Index. After some time, User A wants to publish project X on the Index but realizes name is taken.

EDIT: Someone who avoids submitting to PyPI because of philosophical objections to the PSF Code of Conduct appears to have no recourse should this happen, as the resolution process requires following the PSF Code of Conduct.
Controversial in the sense that he’s on video as a presenter in one of their events.

It’s as controversial as the My Pillow guy having a connection to a political party. We don’t know whether he literally believes in what he’s saying, but we do know he’s being paid to speak for them.

But whether this is the cult he was killed for is yet to be confirmed. He also had heavy involvement with Soka Gakkai through his alignment with the Komeito party. They also drain people of their cash.

Why does it have to be that complicated?

Twitter says only 5% of its active users are bots.

Anyone who has paid attention to say Joe Bidens follower count[1] would put it closer to 50%

Bloomberg says there is no evidence of this... yeah, personally I dont really see any evidence of twitter having more than 200 or 300 million real users, and only a small fraction of those will be active. "Maybe" if they werent completely blocked in China and Russia it would be possible to believe there is more.
Can't agree more. Sharding is painful for both DBAs and App developers.
I guess many of us have tried but don’t like the “uncanny valley” where standard Vim thing don’t work.

It’s been a few years since I last tried so hopefully this has improved. I tried the vim plugin for Jetbrains and found it lacked window navigation and support for things like registers that I use a lot in vim.

At the time I was using webstorm (at a client’s insistence) and found that for the weird JS project we were working on Tern.js was actually better at refactoring and navigating anyway so I just went back to using it with Vim.
The assassin stated that he killed Abe due to his association with a "certain group", so this theory lines up nicely. Of course it's all speculation until we hear from the suspect themselves.

Update: the suspect has now confirmed. https://japantoday.com/category/crime/update2-abe-shooter-sa...
The merger agreement requires Twitter to provide adequate access to data requested, if they haven't done this then the merger agreement has been violated even without a MAC violation.

Specifically, the merger agreement requires "all information concerning the business ... of the Company ... for any reasonable business purpose related to the consummation of the transactions".

Seems like an arbitrary API rate limit could easily violate this clause. How are you providing "all information [...] requested" if you drip feed it?

The fact they'd even play cloak-and-dagger with this information suggests there's fraud again. Companies with nothing to hide don't mislead acquirers.
This seems really really naive. Do you really think a non-profit is going to fight the hordes of spammers, scammers, seo masses, mechanical turk hordes, etc that are going to game your system?
Sorry to hear about your situation.
A lot of people have been pointing to the "roll your own" versions of e-commerce stacks.

We've been running e-commerce for the last six years, and have tried everything (woocommerce, open commerce, bigcommerce, magento, prestashop).

They are all light-years behind Shopify.

We've had bumps along the way with Shopify as well (similar problems to yours).

A few thoughts:

- Know who you are in bed with : Shopify Payments is actually Stripe Platform in most locations, and PayPal in Europe.
We refuse to work with PayPal because of their predatory behaviour, so we choose not to use Shopify Payments in the EU.

- The Shopify Payments platform is for better or for worse a "start without friction, KYC later" experience. Be aware of what this entails.

- Get on RocketReach, find key people in Shopify relevant to your problem and send a succinct email asking for assistance. It's unblocked every problem we ever had

- Do the same with your merchant processors : Edwin from stripe actively reads HN, and can often provide assistance on Stripe related issues.

- Get lawyers. Not the Go-Sue-the-Pants-off-everyone lawyers, but business / commercial lawyers. Not only can they provide excellent advice for your business, they often spécialise in these types of situations to have conversations and results that you can't access individually.

At the end of the day, know your business partners and establish a relationship with them.

Using a combination of the above, we've survived competitors using fake C&Ds against our processors and platforms, amongst other things.
Depends on the economic value of the livestock. For example, a milk cow is probably economically worth being treated. Even if there are regulations that ban selling their milk, they can still be used for breeding.
Complex idea - we're running out of easy to reach oil, the amount infrastructure, labor, and energy required to extract a barrel of oil out of the ground will eventually make it counterproductive to drill new wells.

Strawmen used to cut the idea down:
Oh, you're talking about climate change
The price will just go up
Oh, that's just politics, you don't know the truth
Technology will solve the problem
etc., etc.

We here at HN are specialists at picking apart examples. It's a feature when it comes to weeding out con artists and crackpots. It's a bug when it comes to actually discovering new things that haven't been communicated perfectly.

We need to keep this in mind, and try not to be too blind to new facts or ideas.
It does sound like Isaac in the Orville… yikes
why can't all the users that are being paid to promote spam endorse each other? And won't distributed trust systems just make some people "trust billionaires" and others "trust impoverished" though no fault of their own? If everyone trusts Oprah she'll have the types of same power people complain about billionaires people now. Basically influence. Also, anyone who's close to her gets the blessing of her influence where as if you're far removed you get nothing. Seems like the just reproducing the exact thing so many are trying to counter.

Also let's not forget Reddit. There's a lot of bullshit on top.
Take macOS. It moved from "Mac OS X" over "OS X" to "macOS" which was (AFAICT) purely a "random" surface level change (especially with the "remove Mac only to reintroduce it later and remove the X instead" move), even though "Mac OS X" was a rather well established brand.
Exactly, just let the version on pypi bitrot and get security issues. It's a great win for their policy.
If these older antibiotics would stop being used, they could eventually be used on humans again. Maintaining chemical defenses is an evolutionary disadvantage compared to populations without them if the antibioticum is not present in the environment anymore.

I love Skyrim and Bethesda games because the developers give the community tools to mod the games, but IMO the majority of the modding community evolved in a very bad place, a egocentric place. Most of the modders only give you the right to download the mod from the Nexus site using an account and a browser so they the modders get a bump to their downloads counter and hopefully an endorsements.

The effect is that a lot of people wasted their time modding their game , and this process is very time consuming(reading each mod instructions carefully, reading the bug reports and posts, executing the steps, starting the game and testing it) and modding is very error prone , some weird bug can trigger late in the game and ruing everything, disabling a mod can cause problems too , finding the cause of a crash is also very time consuming and maybe impossible.

In other games you have the concept of a mod pack (is a bit like a distro) but this is not possible with majority of this Skyrim mods, the Nexus website invented a concept of Collection that is a complex process that might work but has best results if you pay a subscriptions.

Anyway the recent events in open source community made me thingk abut Skyrim community, if Open Source projects with a big downloads or star counter get some money or some badges the developers might fall in the trap of Skyrim moders and wanting to bump their counters will restrict their distribution, I am afraid we will see licenses with restrictions like MIT + GitHub restriction where you can use the code only if you downloaded it from GitHub and from this specific repo(no forks or re hosting allowed). This seems impossible now but as we see in my example with this Skyrim community it will happen slowly.

There are open source and/or non restricted Skryum mod and I think most of this ones are inspired by Free Software philosophy.
Cynical Geezer Take: It is very consumer-centric. Brand A's management is loudly signaling that Things Have Changed, at what was a familiar & perhaps favored company. So I need to be alert for price hikes, product shrinks, quality & service downgrades, etc., etc. Or, if there is a Brand B that I like almost as well - then this is probably a great time to switch to it. Unless Brand A's product was extremely fungible & competitive (say, gasoline), then switching to B before A's sh*t hits the fan will involve a lot less time & grief than sticking around after A has served notice.
It's not about which keys you use to copy paste, or about the speed in which you navigate your text.

What the vim movements do is allow you to focus on your code without interruption. You can do everything without shifting your focus from the block of code you're currently editing. It's hard to describe until you've experienced it. I think it's just easier to get into and maintain a flow when the editor gets out of your way.

Our experiences differ with regards to the correlation. In my career I've seen a massive discrepancy between effectiveness of editor use and developer impact. Off the top of my head, save for one person (who used Sublime), every outstanding engineer I've worked with have either used vim or emacs.
Britain’s an interesting case, but I don’t think it makes the point you think it does. Yes, there’s a censor, but the real reason all the newspapers report the same thing at the same time is cultural a) newspaper ownership is concentrated amongst a very small group of people, most of whom are billionaires b) they employ people who they trust to do the right thing c) journalism in the U.K. operates a revolving door with the conservative party’s communications division d) partly as a result of that and partly as a result of falling revenues, most journalist's idea of what good journalism is consists of asking two people what they think and reporting what they say e) this makes them extremely dependent on the lobby system, which is pretty similar to press clubs e) Blair set a precedent for cutting funding to the BBC if it said things it didn’t like, and the current government hasn’t hesitated to threaten to do it again f) this culture is so ingrained it has spread even to those publications that theoretically shouldn’t be affected.

So the situation in Japan is pretty similar to that in the U.K. You just need to identify the levers.
I don't know what the world needs but I need a personalized search engine. I would like to filter out anything to do with sports. I would like filter articles that contain marketing jargon and technobabble. I would like to filter articles written below high school grade level. And so on.

So, I’m guessing that half a dozen people at those design agencies retire and we get to finally go back to some fun, playful, skeuomorphic UI? Perhaps steampunk, with AR glasses giving us notifications by ticker-tape? And 3D modeling tools that look like Bryce used to?
Sure, I mean I only explained my view so that the question would be taken seriously. For me the question is the reason I commented.

I think I answered it myself... I have been seeing people's fervour to attribute intelligence to AI as either charlatanism or misunderstanding... but I think, now, it's actually wishful thinking (and hence essentially religious).

Trading in the usual superstitious foundations of religions: "AI works in mysterious ways", "correlations in symbols are meaningful", etc.

I still don't know why people wish that AI were intelligent; but at least now I have a clearer sense of it. There's some utopian faith behind it which creates this odd urgency to "require" machines to really be intelligent. I'd be interested in knowing why this wish exists.

I can never quite put my finger on how irreligious tech people end up in these tech religions. I guess there's some attachment to there being "a heaven somewhere", which with tech, will be heaven-on-earth.

The problem is that Twitter distinguishes 'automated account' from 'mininimum wage-farm account'. The later are not bots even though they are not genuine engagement.

It's the same with feminism, pacifism, communism, veganism, etc.

I have around me numerous activists about various topics I'm not invested in: feminists, communists and vegans, mostly. Most of them don't try to guilt trip me or convince me of anything. They just do their stuff.

Once in a while, one of them do, just like once in a while, a doctor makes a medical error or a plane crashes.

But we tend to only remember this one, and associate the movement with it.

Ask HN: How do you search for products / apps given a list of requirements?
Very often (for example right now) I get the impression that at least for some products market evolves backwards. Or maybe it's just flooded with crap making it just close to impossible to find the "tip of the pyramid" (nicely demonstrated by Adam in his rant on search engines [1]).

Right now I'm searching for a Music/MP3 player device that comes with a list of attributes that I'd take for granted. Apart from modern technology like Bluetooth - most of them existed 20 years ago!

But looking the length alone of the list of features I don't want to pass on fill my mind with hopelessness nowadays:

[ ] lightweight / has a clip

[ ] plays from filesystem

[ ] supports resume from last played for large files (must have for audiobooks)

[ ] support for at least OGG and FLAC next to MP3

[ ] auto-connects to BT headset

[ ] equalizer or at least bass/treble control

[ ] playback modes (continue alphabetically, shuffle, etc.) (no - not obvi

[ ] auto-off after N minutes

[ ] display easy to read in sunlight (why not e-paper?)

[ ] support for firmware updates (I don't dare to ask for open source..)

[ ] nice: audio jack for analog headsets

[ ] nice: support for multiple (2) bluetooth headsets

I know today it's profitable to throw cheap crap on the market - most people will just buy and forget. But what's with those who'd like to spent quite some money for a quality product? Do they have a chance to search nowadays?

How do you do it? Just with standard search engines and endurance? Reddit? Special keywords? Are there reliable platforms for product recommendations? Build your own ([2])?

There's a degree of UI design overlap between the CS-80 and Yamaha's electronic organs of the same period, and it's interesting to think about how this pays off for the CS-80.

One of the defining characteristics of an organ is that the sound of the note tends not to change over time and the keys are essentially just on/off switches. Hence, any kind of articulation you want to get into the sound has to be done by working the controls while you're playing.

You then take a synth which is vastly more receptive to having its sound reshaped in real time, and design a UI for it that encourages this, you get a synth that we're still talking about (and struggling to replicate) 45 years later.

Mutual endorsement, if reputation is conservative, is like giving eachother reputation. If both users reputation is equal, there's no net gain (total reputation is always constant).

If one users reputation is higher, there's redistribution, but algorithms would need to carefully weight reputation linearly in all decisions, making redistribution not advantageous, solving any issues with sybil attacks[1].

You can do exactly that. Setup a .wsb file that mounts your downloads folder to the VM desktop and disable network.

Personally I love Vim’s visual block editing and use it a lot too.

Macros are more flexible but visual block works well in a lot of situations.

Either way if one was really tied to multiple cursors Vim and NeoVim of course have plugins that support it. I don’t bother with them myself.

> Additionally, those APIs contained an artificial “cap” on the number of queries that Mr. Musk and his team can run regardless of the rate limit—an issue that initially prevented Mr. Musk and his advisors from completing an analysis of the data in any reasonable period of time. Mr. Musk raised this issue as soon as he became aware of it, in the first paragraph of the June 29 Letter: “we have just been informed by our data experts that Twitter has placed an artificial cap on the number of searches our experts can perform with this data, which is now preventing Mr. Musk and his team from doing their analysis.” That cap was not removed until July 6, after Mr. Musk demanded its removal for a second time.

It's hillarious (and pretty stupid) they capped his use of the firehose.
Perhaps not the best example. Apple is not just a brand, it also has a near religious following. Apple could change their logo to a high resolution photo of an actual apple with 'Apple Computers' again as their main brand name, and a very vocal fanbase will praise them for their uniqueness, avant-garde thinking (different), and daringness. Others will follow, and in two years time KFC will have a logo with a high resolution photo of (a) Colonel Sanders and 'Kentucky Fried Chicken' below it.

It's probably inevitable. We've reached peak abbreviation and minimization anyway.
