I just cleared up my own confusion between subtitles and closed captioning. Before, I thought "subtitles" referred strictly to translations of foreign language dialog, and that the feature for hard of hearing was called closed captioning. But in fact SDH = Subtitles for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, so it is in fact a form of subtitle.

In short, subtitles are for when sound is avavilable but hard to understand, while captioning is when sound is not available (such as the viewer is completely deaf). This is the definition from HTML5.[0]

Of course, one could simply mute the TV showing subtitles and then I guess they'd become captions!

Well, I can live with not blaming Dostoyevsky. But when I read Pushkin's "To the Slanderers of Russia", or Brodsky's "On the Independence of Ukraine", I can't help noticing the same mindset of entitlement that perpetuates and fuels the present war.

It beats me how Brodsky, the same person who penned "Bosnia Tune", could have succumbed to that thinking.
I do use StepN and should be noted that the $120 million was from the first quarter and the project has less than a year online. But that quarter GST and the sneakers were at ATH before the crash and people "invested" more than $1K for a pair of sneakers, earning were $30 dollars a day with a single common shoe and you could reach your ROI in 30 days. The numbers are different now as GST has crashed 98% and people who invested a lot in the first quarter have their ROI in years.

The FitnessFi space has so much potential but StepN has new competition in the space which they are already starting with better ponzinomics and in web3 projects are community driven and StepN community will ape to the next one.
I sometimes find the things being advertised interesting. Not because I want to buy them but rather things being pushed and who pushes them can help stay abreast of what's happening in the world.

A specific example from a little while ago in my life--I saw an article advertisement for Microsoft's sovereign cloud offering. I thought this was interesting because I think the Internet is balkanizing over time and how megacorps try to play in that scenario interests me.

I still don't know that it qualifies as news, to your point, but Amazon involvement, however incidental, in Mullvad is a datapoint I'm glad to have.
The common theme was revealing more about how I thought about tech and my work in general: not so much technical solutions but my mindset and how I thought about the future. The more detailed I was with my opinions, the more people were able to resonate with them.
This is a terrible design. A linear layout removes a degree of freedom compared to a normal city. And it doesn’t even look cool to balance the impracticality. Not that I was planning on moving to KSA, but if they pursue this I will just be further convinced that they are fumbling around trying to modernize their country without any idea of what they actually need.
He is right and wrong.

This part is most definitely true: "The Russian system of political power has remained unchanged and unchanging down the centuries—a pyramid of slaves worshipping the supreme khan. That’s how it was during the Golden Horde, that’s how it was in Stalin’s time, that’s how it is today under Vladimir Putin."

This is why 90s and russian democracy failed so utterly, why it will fail completely in the future. There is no nice way out. People love the tsar that wins, it does not matter if he murders, tortures, rapes. He is tsar and above it all, boyars might be held responsible.. but tsar has one measure, winning. Narod will love him as long as he is strong.

"Slaves give birth to a dictatorship and a dictatorship gives birth to slaves. There is only one way out of this vicious circle, and that is through culture."

This is a delusion, there is only one way out and that is the fall of the empire. As Golden Horde died so must its successor state. Culture has not saved Russia in the last 2 centuries, it won't save it now.
Well, it will only take as long as for web 1.0 and web 2.0 to find legit use cases.

What's that you say? Those technologies have legit cases from almost day 1, it just took the technology a bit to catch up?

That's just like crypto tech.

Ah, it isn't, you say? Blockchain has the tech but the list of legit and popular use cases only it can solve is almost 0 and we haven't really found new ones in almost 14 years?
At Google's scale, they make more money by refraining from accepting money their system deems suspicious than they do by taking more risk and having to go through fraud-resolution because they took a hit.

Thus can a system working completely as intended balkanize a society into haves and have-nots, especially if additional factors make it so that only some people can get a "big name" credit card and some can't.
What if the crime was violating house arrest? What if you say, while under oath, you weren't at some of the manifests destinations, and the crime was perjury?

Being on a flight log is evidence you were on a flight. Jury's (or Judges if you don't want a Jury) decide guilt.

With everything known surrounding the destination of some of these flights, It is surprising the logs didn't lead to investigations into some of the serial passengers.
Great, an iPhone is still a good solution! It has bluetooth and a way to physically plug in headphones.
I assume in this context it's because HN isn't just an aggregator but is instead also a community, a community in which Mullvad is rather popular with (given previous discussion on the topic). So yes it's an advertisement but it's also relevant news to this community, personally speaking the "News" post here about Mullvad supporting Monero is what finally made me switch over to it, so the news and ad were relevant to me as a part of this community. (and it was relevant without them tracking my every movement, how is that possible??)

I think people here are also interested in the steps Mullvad takes to improve user payment privacy, as again every time "news" about new methods of payment or concealment of user payment history is always met with high praise and interest. (as far as I've seen anyway)
What's interesting is that we can search and find stuff in that direction. Previously searches only looked outward away from the sun but theoretical earth grazing asteroids that spend most of their time less than 1 AU from the sun would not be picked up.

There have even been suggestions to send an asteroid searching telescope satellite to some lower orbit around the sun and use that vantage point to look outward towards earth and find anything there. Personally I still think we should do that too.

Modern sound mixing makes it so difficult to hear dialogue that it's practically required for most films in my experience.
I see no problem at all on measuring it by market share, as a proxy of consumer choice. One just have to keep in mind that the market has to be localized, not aggregated at some huge population.
Just the other day I was reading the EIPs for NFTs and other stuff, because at my work we were investigating the idea of using them.

I was surprised by what NFTs really are... it is so simple it is stupid. It is just some "standard" Solidity/EVM functions that you have to follow when writing your Smart Contract, and then it's an NFT. I don't know why I thought it was going to be something more complicated.

At the end we just made our custom Solidity contract tailored to what we needed. We didn't need the whole NFT functionality (we just needed to store a bunch of hashes in an IFPS file and "imprint" the hash of the file in a Smart Contract Key/Value map. Adding some authentication to operate the smart contract.
The Suspense Is Killing Me: Part 2
Yea I'm not sure how someone can claim "$5 for a meal for one" could possibly be cheaper than cooking unless you're deliberately cooking something expensive?

Now maybe I'm missing some cultural context for the price of produce in the US but for €5 per person here in Ireland I could make an absolute feast. Say I make a ragu for 4-5 people, here's what my shopping list might look like (checking prices on tesco.ie):

- Pasta 500g (€0.65)

- Ground pork 400g (€3.50)

- Bag of onions 1kg (€0.60)

- 4 bulbs of garlic (€0.80)

- Bag of carrots 500g (€0.60)

- Celery 450G (€0.79)

- Tinned Tomatos (€0.45)

So for €7.39 I could feed 4-5 people and have most of the onions, garlic and celery left over for another dish.

If I had the budget to get 5 people Taco Bell at €5 a head, I could cook that recipe twice over and have enough left over to buy a half-decent bottle of wine.

I know scale changes if you live on your own say, but that's when you save stuff for lunches, make smaller recipes etc. And I live in one of the highest cost-of-living countries in the EU - is the situation really so dire in much of the US as to be drastically different?

Who says being an expert in a field is the meaning of life?

I was a phone systems expert with a previous job, mostly because I stayed at the job way longer than my coworkers. I gladly gave that up for a 60% bump in pay and not having to be oncall for 4-6 hours in the middle of the night whenever there was a network issue, which happened a couple times a month at that job. I hope I never have to deal with phone systems ever again.
A mark–compact algorithm? As all copying collectors, it doesn't work really that well with large live sets.
There is also a great appreciation for people who cook at restaurant / food truck etc. I have cooked very decent meals for family and friends, putting great deal of effort, attention and love and all people could say was "yeah, not bad". Same people will go to restaurant eat a rather bad meal for good money but show deep respect to restaurant.
It is malice. The government wants you to consoom while simultaneously lowering your quality of life. "Traditional [DIY] stores" are something else the govt is desperate to get rid of.

You say that like it's hard to believe, but the big ones are Gmail & Maps right? And it's completely possible/not that uncommon to not have either of them. Out of the box Apple even has first-party solutions for both I think?
CDE was overall ok. The real crime was the terrible palettes they used, stuff like violet and blue, pink and green... '90s kitsch at its highest.
This is why I don't do activism. I'm not accountable or responsible for the state of society, so I just let it burn. Let others burn themselves out trying to take individual and personal responsibility for systemic issues if they're that desperate for a cause greater than themselves if they want, but count me out.

I am my own highest cause.
As a fellow Ukrainian: "Ukrainian question" is a colonial narrative term that deprives Ukraine of subjectivity, it should not be reinforced

It is Android, but some kind of stripped down and modified version of it. I've tried to find official info on it too, but what's out there is mostly power user speculation. The consensus seems to be that it's stripped down in that it boots faster and makes use of less standard features, but also modified to do things like support the pointer given that the screen is non-touch.
Perhaps news to some, non-news to some. Why do we allow "product launches" on HN? Why let anything with a commercial motive ever appear on this forum? Because HN serves a very broad audience, and consequently allows information that might not pertain to everyone but still deemed valuable by some.
In this case? Because you want them to use their vast quantity of user data to put ads in front of other users.
Then the rules are quite different for AdWords. For Google Play Store accounts, "termination" means that your primary account, as well as any "related" account (what Google's algorithms determine to be operated by the same person/company), are all eternally banned from the Play Store. Attempts to open any new account will be subjected to the same algorithm and get automatically rejected if determined to be "related" to the previously banned account.

I am not making this up. Some indie Android developers have ended up in pretty Kafkaesque situations with their livelihoods (Play Store accounts) terminated without any explanation or human recourse, and with any attempts to circumvent the ban only leading to more trouble.
Can't they do OnlyFans instead?
Just to be clear, the music in the video is not Philip Glass' Koyaanisqatsi at all. FWIW, Koyaanisqatsi was a 1982 film [1], effectively a 90 minute music video before videos were a thing.

The film has lots of unsavory city clips in contrast with nature clips [2] to make the point of Life Out of Balance, the subtitle of the film. The music and film clips are frequently used to illustrate decay. or the unhealthy nature of city life in general, most notably in a Grand Theft Auto commercial [3].

How do you know what the VCs paid? These are private transactions. Sometimes they invest in equity in the business at the published round price, but get tokens for almost free on the side.

> we don't need to grow these crops in California st all

I said this only about rice, and it's absolutely true. It would involve a 20% expansion of production in other states.

> pushing the same problem elsewhere by displacing other crops.

Impossible. Other states do not have drought issues like California. It's simply an issue of perverse economic incentives.

> So now you are doing a complete retreat

No, this is what I've said from the start. It seems you are making unwarranted assumptions.

> So, get those urban residents to vote for a ballot measure requiring (and setting the funding mechanism for) the state to pay for the eminent domain costs of condemning the applicable water rights and we can do that.

Yup, and it will cost less than current water reclamation projects. I'm glad you agree.
Isn't Brex basically the standard for bay area startups now? Hard to believe that Brex cards in general would be getting flagged.
Also appreciate that CDE was designed at a time when a 16-32MB workstation was commonly deployed. The overall footprint of these DEs is quite low, especially compared to today.

"Prettiness", while desirable, is also/can be expensive in terms of everything: CPU, RAM, IO, none of which the machines these were deployed on had in any abundance.

It's really hard to appreciate how slow older hardware was.

Today, if you wanted a DE on a small machine with 1G of RAM, something like CDE might be a really good fit. Especially if you could get away with something like Lynx for a browser.
The problem you are describing will be irrelevant in a generation or two, as kids grow up on the internet.

I think this is just an artifact of the pioneers/total body of engineers: having the numerator stay relatively unchanged but with the denominator exploding.
Gogol is an interesting one though.

There being no Ukrainian state at the time, he was appropriated by the Russian literature as a quintessential Russian writer, but his sympathetic sentiment towards the Cossack tradition is well-known (and obvious in his texts), and one can make a good argument that in his early stuff he is more subversive about the entire Russian empire thing than a naive reader may think. (Ok, his late stuff is also subtle, but in a different way.) One has to realize that in an empire, with official censorship etc, one cannot be openly anti-czarist.

Here is a nice paper highlighting some of the subtleties in Taras Bulba:

Top-voted comments are linking directly to Right to Read and The Coming War on General-Purpose Computing, so I don't think the community has forgotten its roots.

You really wanna be scared? Go look at the multiple comments on the EU DMA announcement complaining that having a sideloading option is just a ploy for malware vendors to get into their iPhones. Or that someone else being able to sideload or jailbreak somehow hurts their security. These are coming from actual HN users!
Aye, you and I agree there- "letting the facts get in the way of the truth".

Probably not, but not having them run for office means little when they can use the clinton foundation to continue to sway public and private sectors. Alas, I'm going down a rabbit hole here.

While you are correct that we likely cannot prove a lot of what is true, the OP article is playing a dangerous game. Anyone who claims to take a complex geopolitical underage sex trafficking cabal and boil it down to "two blase 'mysteries'" is doing nothing more than acting as controlled opposition. It's akin to saying "Don't look under the rug bro, let me just tell you what's under there. It's just two old m&m candies we swept under there. Don't look. let me tell you how boring it is".

Turns out that rug has a lot of nasty shit under it.

> Their vision is actually very lofty - build a distributed low data wireless network completely independent of phone providers and cable companies.

It presumably connects to the actual Internet at some point, yes? Presumably via each (or some) nodes' residential ISP hookups. Otherwise it'd be a glamorized intranet.

Extremely lofty visions that only loosely adhere to both reality and the practical applications of cryptocurrencies are typical for crypto companies.

> Personally, I think the government should subsidize something like this to allow it to get off the ground. Earthquake data, climate data, traffic data, etc. Essentially public use.

The government would probably get much more bang for its buck by funding something like NYC Mesh[1]. They also have an actual peering agreement.

Hi HN,

This is a blog post + python code that demos how to run text to image ML models like Craiyon (formerly DALL·E Mini) yourself on AWS GPU compute, with the help of an OSS tool called Meadowrun we've been working on.

Happy to take any feedback or answer any questions!
As far as i remember there were 2 organizations which tried to standardize UNIX: X/Open and Open Look. One had IBM, DEC , HP in it the other SUN and AT&T. One choose Motif/CDE, the other OpenLook. In the end the OL people gave up and everibody went CDE under the OpenGroup umbrella.
Interesting, do you have a link?

I went via https://vmssoftware.com/ and the get Get OpenVMS link which yeilds a form that has:

And you can pretty much guarantee that ~50% of the population will always consider that statement true, no matter the government of the day.
Thanks for posting! We spent quite some time peeling the onion to understand how much Stripe actually cost indeed, so decided to share it!
What makes this interesting is: What are the downstream impacts when a service on which people/influencers are making serious money (like Jenner and Kardashian) decide to pivot and change their focus just because some new app (TikTok) has burst onto the scene? As a photographer I am ready to ditch Instagram as well because they are no longer the photo-centric app I joined to use. I find it interesting that mega-influencers are also not happy about the video pivot. Heck, this might be what is necessary to re-launch Flickr as a top-flight social app (while ditching a Facebook-connected app along the way).
> You are probably in a much bigger need of accountable management

> Your hiring process is not optimised to further business goals,

That's a lot of things you were able to figure out based on my comments.
wasn't NFT issue but it was a signal. Shopify has some questionable metrics and its marketcap was very iffy as well as its business practices with partners from what I read.

spoiler: shopify isn't done yet with layoffs, it will go down as another Canadian failure (lots of those in this country)
So if you're paranoid, would you fund your account through a card that was bought on Amazon by a family/friend? Instead of linking back to you, it links back to someone close to you, who probably has no privacy/security skills and bought it by asking their Echo Speaker.
Dostoyevsky was also a nationalist, right? He had a lot of bad things to say about Germans and Polish. I am comfortable just reading his work and taking what I appreciate from it and disregarding the dated or problematic parts. Would have no issue applying the same logic to Pushkin

Luckily this is not the case when it comes to Linux. It just keeps getting better by the year.
Mathematical talent, and IQ more broadly, does vary greatly. Instead of denying that, it is better to make true and realistic statements such as "you can get good results from machine learning frameworks even if you don't know enough multivariable calculus to understand the mathematical definition of gradient descent."
Giving a reason will give the person a point to dispute. I used to work in customer service dealing with applications to join a membership website. Without fail if I told the person the reason they were declined they would argue against it. You're never going to change your mind so arguing is pointless. Much easier to say you weren't successful without specifics.
