Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t TikTok essentially just a more developed version of Vine?

I remember Vines taking off in popularity before it being shut down for a reason I never fully understood.
> but what the heck else are you expecting to pop up to explain redshift

For example, some kind of phenomenon that happens to photons but only when they travel great distances. Or that maybe the space(-time) is not uniform and we're in an area that has properties slightly different from the surrounding space.

What happens if JWST sees galaxies that, according to their redshift, were formed before the supposed moment of the big bang?
Did Air France decide this based on animal rights lobby or for economic reasons?
This situation is incredibly well covered by the book that I just finished called
The Aristocracy of Talent - How Meritocracy Made the Modern World By Adrian Wooldridge. It is a riveting read covering the history of how power was passed through (father->son) for a long time, how it changed with meritocracy in last 200 years and how it is currently going back, with a twist. Great review https://www.city-journal.org/review-of-the-aristocracy-of-ta.... A worthy and very relevant read for current troubled times
Amen. I was a complainer about Apple's insistence on WebKit, but when I thought it through I realized that it's the only bulkhead against a total Chrome takeover.

I admire a lot of Europe's consumer protections, but this EU legislation is a huge overreach, written by politicians pandering to hype that they are too ignorant to assess.
I haven't read the book, but as a European I'd rather the Americans being the exception rather than the Russians or the Chinese.
> This is true in lots of cities in the US too.

What speeder is describing is not even close to true in any US city.
The US feels too incompetent to try to manipulate other countries and it feels more like they have a bad culture and they export it to European countries (where kids in half broken and sad schools dream of partying in cool fraternities).

China, on the other hand, sounds perfectly capable and willing of manipulating our society to make it weak and broken, while at the same time forbidding the same content in their land.

I'd argue it even predates tiktok and it could explain why media and politicians are so much worse than 30 years ago.
The other explanation is that we got complacent, and all great empires need generational weakness before collapsing.

Probably there's a bit of truth in both.

In my opinion mechanical timepieces are novelties in the modern era, so I don't think the practicality of a mechanical watch is very important. If you want practicality, a quartz watch will run continuously without intervention far longer than a mechanical one and will keep better time. Better yet, a smartwatch can tell you more than just the time! If you want to make a statement or own a neat piece of engineering though, mechanical watches are the way to go.

Again this is my opinion, but I don't see any reason to be worrying about the practicality of something like this.
I read the article you are referring to and it actually came to the opposite conclusion from what you’re saying: net-positive jobs, more spent and more earned.

(If you’re wondering how I am rebutting runarberg when neither he nor I cited a source, that’s a darn good question. But let the record show I offer just as much evidence as he.)
Depends entirely on the purpose for which you are judging them.
Why is this flagged? It is a fact that Sri Lankan government used the talking points of Green/Organic movement of the west to justify its insane agricultural policy. This needs to be discussed and Greens should be exposed for their possibly well-intentioned but criminally damaging policy promotion.

I do not know how HN moderates around the serial abusers for flagging, but this is serious violation of spirit of this forum.

I think you need to consider visiting outside of the echo chamber you live in. We do not have some epidemic of innocent people being shot. You feed on turning 0.001% exceptions into the rule.
A relevant aside: there are some companies and startups that aim to replace a good chunk of animal testing with in silico testing. Here's one that my fund is an investor in called VeriSIM: https://www.google.com/amp/s/venturebeat.com/2019/08/14/veri...
UT Austin is a completely established school. I'm talking about the deceptively named University of Austin which is the Musk, Rogan, Fridman affiliated school opening maybe soon. I don't know if those 3 are actually affiliated with it, but their names come up with it.
> As in, there are apparently sub companies, that are in the US, not in china,

Sure, the US "sub companies" are located physically in the US and managed day-to-day by US-based employees but they are still owned by a Chinese parent company meaning at the end of the day, they still report to managers/executive in China and are obligated to follow directions given to them by people working for Chinese parent company. If the Chinese government cotrols the Chinese parent company then they, by definition, control the US-based company as well.
I wouldn't call it stealing so much as temporarily seizing stolen property. The oligarch's live on almost exclusively ill-gotten gains.
My employer got hit by ransomeware attack, and to stay insurable, our IT department clamped down all computers to the point of harming productivity and morale. Instead of adopting trust no one security models, things are limited to the point that it’s tempting to use personal devices to complete work.

Developers cannot have local admin privileges, making many task much more cumbersome. Machines run multiple AV products including Fireeye’s xAgent, Windows Defender, and BitDefender. They use Netspoke to inspect all traffic including HTTPS traffic. If that wasn’t enough, Thycotic is used to selectively allow processes to launch and is single threaded. Thycotic is extremely slow, especially for git operations and tools that tend to spawn multiple processes.

I love chess. At my absolute best, I had a over-the-board USCF rating of 2156. I never made it to master no matter how hard I tried. So, ticked off, I gave up serious play. Years go by and while I'm no where near as good these days, I started enjoying playing again. And, then I start running into people online who were clearly using engines instead of their own skills and wits. Now, I only pay with friends and over-the-board. If this can help wipe out the cheats, I may finally go back to playing online again.
Eh? The merger agreement is a legal contract between Twitter and Musk, and it is a matter of public record [1].

And some people are certainly qualified to opine on these issues, particularly Matt Levine, who has worked as an M&A lawyer and investment banker.

Look at the history of Europe and observe the shifting trends of alliances.
Moonies were prevalent in Chile later on, during the late 90s. The press would refer to them as “la secta Moon” (the Moon cult).
Why do you think Uber would not have participated in the same corruption (or worse) once it was sufficiently entrenched? Remember, this is the company that in the US threatened journalists, and in India stole medical records of critics. It's not hard to believe they'd cross any line someone else was already crossing relative to local mores.
One looks in awe at all the nodes and makes a mental note one should also spent more time reading books instead of watching TV or phone mindlessly. After, one closes again because these graphs are not easy to travel in any meaningful way. Especially on one's phone, where likely opened.

That having said. Thanks author for taking the time and trying.
This is what happens to children. They do something they think is fun and their parents tell them not to do it. They ask why not? The parents either give a nonsensical half-answer because they don’t know how or don’t want to give a full answer (and aren’t sure their children could understand it), or they give a non-answer like “because I said so.” The child quickly gets the take-away message that parents are arbitrary assholes who have control issues, so they learn to just disregard everything their parents say. At least that’s what happened to me and every person I grew up with.

I realize that children don’t always have the mental skills to understand everything the way adults do, but there has to be a better way to handle these situations than they are currently being handled.
what sort of yearly income do you need to be able to buy this? I assume people in this tier just pay cash and already own a sizable Ferrari collection.

Otherwise with 30% down. current market interest rates, you would be looking at $20,000 / month to lease it.

So you could flex considerably as a double digit millionaire. Its just fascinating how wealthy some people are and how limitless it is.
I read the article and I kept looking at the horse drawing and thinking: I'm sure I've seen really majestic yet astonishingly simple drawings of horses somewhere. Then I remembered - the White Horse of Uffington[1]

There's a second one in Kent, carved into the North Downs at the turn of this century[2]. Personally I don't think it has the same majesty as the ancient one.

I don't think the student who who attend a trade school like this would care in the slightest that it isn't accredited. Taking them at their word that they teach five trades, offer employment at a local construction company, and set students up with an apprenticeship, these students could care less about accreditation or a degree. They'll finish with several years of experience in a trade.
It looks like this contact may now fall under "A PERSON WHO IS THE SUBJECT OF POLICE CONTACT MAY RECORD THE ENCOUNTER" clause, which still allows recording, as they are not longer a bystander, but I'm not a lawyer.

Some movies have been playing with having a wider dynamic audio range, and some are just mumbling. I don't think many listeners care for more than an audio compressor can give them and the "advertising industry" doesn't like that so it tends to not show up as a mass market thing.
> Do you have the developer power to go red-queen against all the large companies in the world?

Let's try? It's also an interesting research topic in itself and might be a topic for academic research. At the moment Google is a black box and their incentives are not really aligned to stop SEO. It's good for them to show more ads, it's good for them to show you copycat pages of github/stackoverflow with ads. Not saying that Google is doing this on purpose - I doubt it - but we don't know. It's surely possible to create an index and ranking that prefers different things than Google.

Let's try something at least. It will be gamed, will be worse probably but it's open and can be a playground for academic research.

Best that can happen is that there are ways to for a better ranking and Google was dishonest to maximize profit. If it's still gamed at least the mechanics can be studied and analysed and maybe someone can figure out a switch like 'be unfair in ways Google can't' - would love a 'no ads on the page' switch that would probably solve quite a few problems.

Trust our black-box and you won't have enough devs for this is just a bad answer for such an important problem. The amount of stupid simple redirection spam in my results in the last few years also looks like that Google just doesn't care alot about this anymore.

As I said in another comment, you sound like you feed on turning 0.001% exceptions into the rule. Almost all police in this country are not beating protestors or murdering people. I don't want to have a system where someone's extreme (though yes, bad case) sets the way we handle everything.

Is your approach to solve for the 0.001% problem and care nothing about the rest of the 99.999% situations where the rule you put in place will have to be lived with by everyone else?

Understaffed or not, if you want to be perceived as a cost center that gets in the way, sure require tickets to do any work.

If you want to be seen as a force multiplier for the business that helps people get work done quicker, then actually help people and do the record keeping on your time, not theirs.
> I live in the U.S. I speak to almost all of my rideshare drivers about how they feel about their work. Literally none of them have expressed the feeling that they're trapped.

if you ask a smoking addinct if they could quit, 80% say yes and 80% will fail if they try.

Now if you show they've done the math on depreciation of their car, worked for 10 years, etc. then maybe yoi have an argument
There's some deep dives on the aws YouTube channel that talk about their storage layer if you want some detail.
AWS happily share quite a lot more under NDA as well, if that's an option for you.
The short answer is the proprietary changes are very well done in a way that provides no meaningful vendor lock-in.
In the section "Directions and Adjacent Tiles", before it starts to consider diagonals, it says that triangle grids have 3 adjacent tiles and 6 directions of movement.

I don't follow this. Aren't 3 of the 6 directions it's considering going through the corners of the origin triangle? If so, how do those not count as diagonals? What is the definition of "diagonal" being used?
But at the same time it kinda works to keep everyone in line. Look at PCI for example. You might be shit on the upkeep front, but ever X years some rando with a checklist will whip you into line while not really knowing anything at the same time..
It will stop people from getting up in the police's face while trying to do their jobs and provoking conflict.
"hangry" is real - the word, that is. I had a French girlfriend who, when she said (in English) either hungry or angry - they both sounded pretty much the same. So whoever coined the word hangry probably heard it from someone French first !
> Please link to English sources — as it makes it hard to hold you accountable for what appear to be false claims.

Google translate is your friend. Linking to local sources makes more sense than to link to some 2nd hand reporting in English media.

> Uber was neither banned, nor ordered to pay any money to government, union, or drivers. All the order did was state Uber & Uber Eats must treat drivers going forward as employees and Uber in response pulled out of the market.

Sounds to me like their business model was banned. Sure I guess pendantically that is not Über being banned, it still is the same outcome.

> As for the drivers, they were not forced to work for Uber and were aware of the impact.

The servs in 1800s russia also chose to work, so all is good?

> I personally do not agree with the ruling, since drivers were in control of when & where they worked and as such, they were not employees of Uber.

So what other companies did they work for? Also by your definition everyone who works from home (can choose where to work) and has flexible hours (chooses when to work) is not an employee?

> Thanks to the Union’s actions 1000s of people are out of work. Is the Union going to pay the Uber drivers the money they “stole” from them?

The Union did not break laws, Uber did

It seems you don't seem to believe in the rule of law.

Why did you migrate though? At work, we're still using error_chain for the oldest library we have since the ergonomics of the library isn't an issue for these stable-ish libs. If what you already have works, just don't migrate. It's not like there's likely hidden segfaults or memory vulns waiting there…
Arguably the least cool it’s ever been considering how many devices have inertial scrolling these days.
Not if the former President leaves office, for whatever reason, and the VP gets bumped up.

In that case a new VP is indeed appointed (but must be approved by Congress).
And where is Vine now? Nothing is blank sheet new, everything is building on top of something and iterates and the truth is, when the US-made social media consolidated on politics and glamour photos TikTok came up with something fun and creative and apparently people love it.
I grew up very comfortably, and in general the police have never given me grief. They've always been helpful. However, throughout my life, I've spoken to those who have had less favorable interactions with the police, who, as far as I can tell, were not doing anything to be worthy of the treatment they received. These stories have been so plentiful and consistently bad that I can not possibly believe that the police are an overall force for good. At this point, you can turn on the news and the evidence is right there. Maybe I was primed to draw these conclusions from the news from my prior conversations, I don't know. Either way, there are so many people in this thread who are convinced that this is a good thing and that it won't be cynically abused, and that these abuses will not be supported by the criminal justice system. There are a handful of threads that terminate in "well if that's the case, then we've got a bigger problem." What do you mean "if?" is my feeling.

I just don't understand it. If you see the abuses and think "well, they deserved it" or "ah it's a few bad apples" I'm not trying to speak to you. I don't think we'd really ever find common ground. I'm really trying to ask such questions to those of you out there who still seem surprised when the police do something bad, or those who just claim to be unaware. Do you or do you not talk to people who claim police are abusive? If you do talk to them, do you just not believe them? How many of such people have you talked to, and after talking to this many people, how many more people would have to confirm such abuses before you believed them? When you hear such stories, how do you discount them, or otherwise minimize them to the degree that your beliefs are not swayed?
Back when I was a manual laborer, if you could pick up a hammer and hit the nail every time - or mixup a good batch of mud - or drive a skidder of logs to the landing - that was the interview and accreditation.

This is simply a way of confusing the shit out of people even further in the middle of an inflation crisis while leveraging "the old ways are better" bollocks.

When I was a tween we went swimming at a rock quarry. I found a petrified piece of a fish. Basically as if it's head and tail were cut off, but the body and the gills were really clear, as was the pattern of the scales, and where the spine entered and exited.

Since they tend to be crushed at the quarry, it's probably not what you want. But I at least found that one that I kept for a number of years.
> How do I know I am conscious and my perception of my own consciousness isn’t an illusion itself?

I can’t figure out what the difference would be between this “illusion” and “real” consciousness. Somewhere Sam Harris says something to the effect that our consciousness is the only thing we can be absolutely sure is real, almost by definition. If it were an illusion, then we would have to be conscious to experience the illusion.
I love hyperrogue, if more in concept than practice -- why settle for triangle grids when you can make a septagon grid! It's fun to get lost on a hyperbolic plane, though the gameplay itself is a little lacking. I'm hoping that somebody else will pick up the concept and do something even cooler.
That's fine of course. Just don't do it right in the police's faces as an attempt to interfere or borderline provoke a situation.
Yes. What would be a good way to regulate this; still allowing open and fair competition while protecting the privacy of the broad population?

So if the EU forces Facebook to store EU's citizens data in the EU. What would prevent Facebook copying that data to the US?

I also find that much harder to read :) For me the colour distracts from the text because I tend to look for colour to carry a separate meaning (separate from the letters itself). So every letter that stands out my brain is searching for that extra meaning. And the split vowels are harder too, but probably just because I'm not used to them.

However I'm not dyslexic! I don't really know how that works. You should test it with them, perhaps it would really benefit them.
Being under effective house arrest makes it a bit tricky. After being released from that, being banned from meeting people outside doesn't make it much easier. Obviously, your lockdown mileage may vary.
For sure, but it does seem riding a glucose roller-coaster affects the probability one will experience things like cravings and irritability on the dips. Just modulo that with genetics.
Majority of people ain't on social media either. Well, they may be lurking or registered at most, but won't post or comment much if at all.

And then there's a portion of nice people who will befriend you and then use for their benefit.

And then there's one's own bias. When traveling, at a random city in foreign country you'll probably pick a bar accordingly, skip heated topics and distance yourself from people that may cause trouble. Meanwhile engagement-driven interwebs make sure you meet such people and keep discussing.
