It would be great to see this happen in the opposite direction.

The next time someone intentionally misinterprets something as offensive when that clearly wasn't the intended meaning, or goes searching for ever more obscure terms to deem problematic, or tries to silence and shame people who try to do anything other than fight for social justice, we all just reply with "We don't do that here".

Someone starts to lecture you about how referencing "winter" is non-inclusive to Southern Hemisphere readers? "We don't do that here". Someone says you need to rename your firewall "whitelist" of IP addresses? "We don't do that here".

It would be glorious. Everyone could treat each other courtesy, grace and assume positive-intent. Instead of walking around on eggshells and always worrying about what the most cynical, negative interpretation of a word or phrase could be, everyone could relax, treat one another as friends and allies and focus on solving real problems.

Or, we could continue down our current path of Orwellian new-speak, where a new group of religious extremists deem ever more language as blasphemous and everyone joins the witch-burners for fear of being labelled a witch themselves.
Probably latin wasn't the start ;-). We are not 2,000 years old hehe.
You do control the keys though, "Because it’s encrypted using keys that are available only on the user’s iOS, iPadOS, and macOS devices"

"The authentication is based on Ed25519 public keys that are exchanged between the devices when a user is added to a home. After a new user is added to a home, all further communication is authenticated and encrypted using Station-to-Station protocol and per-session keys"

"The user who initially created the home in HomeKit or another user with editing permissions can add new users. The owner’s device configures the accessories with the public key of the new user so that the accessory can authenticate and accept commands from the new user. When a user with editing permissions adds a new user, the process is delegated to a home hub to complete the operation.

> It clearly and concisely sets a boundary, and also makes it easy to disengage with any possible rebuttals.

This type of "because I told you so" style only works as a show of power, otherwise people would just continue do it somewhere else. I get the feeling this author spends more time talking down to people than up to them.
Hard disagree. There is a vocal segment of the tech community that wants to understand and debate everything, and there's not enough time and energy to deal with them. It's like a 2 year old child who keeps asking "why?"

There are some topics where an issue is a learning opportunity and a discussion can be had. Technical disagreements are a classic case. There are others that are so played out and hurtful that it's not worth it.

I don't need to spend an hour giving a coworker an explanation of why their actions are hurtful. They just need to know that they are. If they're interested in getting better, they can go to their nearest search engine and read some history. If they're not, they can just know to keep their mouth shut next time.
I haven't followed it closely - but it does seem pretty similar. It's not like anything is 'triggered' when a recession is declared. And it's not like the economy is meaningfully better if you had quarterly growth of [-1%, -0.1%] vs. [-1.2%, 0.1%] -- even though by the two quarters rule, the first would be a recession and the second wouldn't.

It looks like NBER's definition of how they declare recessions has remained consistent, so I'd defer to them:

In a professional space, I find that getting that treatment is usually preferable to starting an argument on ethics. I'm just trying to get some work done, not really looking to illuminate my coworker's mind with my personal illusions of the world.
A variation on this story was the plot of the very first Star Trek novel: Spock Must Die!

I was in an isolated exurb working hard labor at a UPS warehouse. I became an active user of an open source project and a regular on an IRC network. Over time I got to know a few of the founders, and got offered a job and relocation to San Francisco.

It feels like it was a quick inflection point, but it ultimately changed my life: am now married to my partner, the company got acquired, we had a baby, and I have some economic security.

We are now working towards building what my ancestors have been struggling for generations to achieve:

- Inner peace
- Intentional abundance
- Authentic community
I'm guessing that HIV positive patients who also develop a type of cancer that can receive bone marrow transplants as treatment are rare. Bone marrow matches are extremely rare. Add to that: bone marrow matches with the particular mutation (CCR5-delta 32) can only compound that rarity. All this adds up to poor odds.

Ask HN: What is the purpose of WASM outside the browser?
I was recently going through a blog that was explaining how to use WASMtime and use WASM outside the browser.

But what is wrong with docker or a regular VM?
I understand this, lol. But you can also take heart that you don't struggle alone. You might be surprised at how many places you can be open about this stuff and have positive things result.
Yeah but if you up the stakes from injury to death by replacing replacing “junkyard dog” with “automatic killbots” I feel more sympathetic to the thief. The punishment for breaking and entering is stuff like fines, jail, and community service not injury or death.

Despite the fact that if you were there you might have the right to stand your ground I don’t think that extends to autonomous systems, even biological ones, acting on your behalf.
Drafts is amazing for data entry and for scripting up "...and now send it to X app" actions. It empties its trash folder after 30 days, but notes are permanent unless you delete them. It also supports [[Wiki links]] now, which is great.

The reasons I don't use it for my main notes app are:

- No support for backlinks. Now that I've experienced them with Obsidian et al, I don't want to do without them.

- It stores notes in a database. Obsidian and friends store them as Markdown files in the filesystem, and you can even have 2 apps sitting "on top of" the same content directory.

I find the debate over nuclear energy an interesting topic. From the information and evidence provided by the Environmentalists for Nuclear [1], from which Loelock was a member, I find it hard to understand why there's still so much opposition to nuclear energy. I'm not sure if I'm missing something (I'm open minded for valid arguments/evidence on either side) or if it's just that lobby and disinformation campaigns to preserve the status quo in favor of fossil fuel companies are really effective in turning the masses against nuclear energy (which would be very sad with respect to our potential to evolve as a civilization).

Not sure what you're trying to communicate here.

> He has not discovered anything new.

Perhaps something new to himself, if not new to all humanity. Those of us raised in relative isolation or with rigid interpretations of the world may find outside views difficult to truly consider objectively.

> We all make a choice.

Indeed. And what choice is more profound than the foundations of ones belief systems and world view? For me that was "does it conform to 'divine' truth?", defined mostly by illiterate shepherds and priests whose livelihood depended on convincing people. Now I chose only to believe evidence proving what can be falsified.

Changing to an employer who happened to be death on politics at work was such an incredible relief. Coming from a place where the break areas were full of vile politics on one side of the spectrum and the e-mail/slack channels full of vile politics on the opposite side, wiping both of those from my daily life significantly reduced my stress and friction working with others.
Hmm I suppose. Got me wondering if this is just a general trend towards mobile browsers instead, so I looked into Chrome statistics:

2014: 1.29 billion

2015: 1.54 billion

2016: 1.88 billion

2017: 2.07 billion

2018: 2.40 billion

2019: 2.64 billion

2020: 2.65 billion

Not that much gained recently it seems. Can't find a good source for 2021 and 2022, but looking at some it may have actually decreased too during that time.
That comparison is between early 2019 and summer 2022. The page mentions usage drops in the summer, and comparing July 2019 to July 2022 is quite close. However, the charts show United States usage has dropped much more significantly.
I think you can find stories of patients who have had out of body experiences when there was no brain activity. Not sure how valid those are, but still gives me pause.
> compare it negatively to the experience of dying

I'm not sure what you mean by this. My point was I was anesthetized but managed to go to the store, buy things and make it back, something dead people aren't able to manage last time I checked.

Like Nicola Tesla, I believe my brain is a receiver like a radio and I actually exist in a cloud of consciousness that we all exist in, so I don't have as many negative feelings about dying that a lot of people seem to have (people who believe they cease to exist)

This guy is one of those iconoclastic fellows who people partially agree with on one point, and completely disagree with on another. It's pretty hard to reconcile nuclear energy with the idea that the planet self-regulates since nuclear energy screws most of those self-regulatory mechanisms up and seems to require vast sums of time to undo.

I wish you every good thing. I'm going down something of a rabbit hole on this and was so surprised at the Wikipedia discussion on US privacy:

'Some conservative justices do not consider privacy to be a legal right, as when discussing the 2003 case, Lawrence v. Texas (539 U.S. 558), Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia did not consider privacy to be a right, and Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas argued that there is "no general right to privacy" in the U.S. Constitution in 2007. Many Republican interest groups and activists desire for appointed justices to be like Justice Thomas and Scalia since they uphold originalism, which indirectly helps strengthen the argument against the legal protection of privacy.'

For streaming, I have a few pi's (and cameras) running v4l2rtspserver, and it seems to work pretty well. It appears to be using the Broadcom hardware support for H.264 encoding, so it's pretty light on the CPU. I'm currently using Shinobi on a different host to receive and archive the RTSP streams. (Although I'm interested in checking out Frigate, which was mentioned elsewhere in this discussion.)

Disclaimer: not a linguist.

Languages don't really become systematically simpler over time, or they would've had to start out incredibly complicated. They have some tendency to cycle between lots of grammatical forms (like Latin) and few grammatical forms with lots of helper words (like English).

("Simple" and "complex" is debatable; English's snarl of helper words is infamously hard to learn.)

It's obvious how you go in the "less inflection" direction, but how do you go in the "more inflection" one? The answer is that you start with helper words, which evolve into enclitics (fragments of words attached to other words, like the n't in 'can't' and 'shouldn't'), and eventually those become suffixes and prefixes, and then merge into the words they're attached to, creating grammatical inflections!

This process is where all(?) of the grammatical forms in Greek/Latin/etc are thought to have come from, afaik. Proto-Indo-European, one of the earliest languages we can reconstruct, seems to have been pretty close to the apex of this process, having just consolidated a bunch of enclitics into grammar.

So the goofy internet 'verbn't' trend is actually a possible glimpse of how English could acquire a negative verb form like Japanese has!
An impressive mind.

Chrome for Android has no extensions at all. Most webpages are unusable on mobile without extensions like ublock origin or "I don't mind about cookies" (this last one is for removing the annoying warnings about cookies in EU).

In a vacuum, perhaps $165/yr would be OK for some people. But when compared to other options that are mostly as nice for a fraction of the price, it's a bit much for me.
Firefox had its chance 17 years ago when it was at its prime and was in a position to expand and get more users to become the dominant browser. Instead, they chose not to and Google overtook and sabotaged them whilst Mozilla was under the spell of Google's billions even thinking that they could do without Google's billions. [0] Mozilla did not care and did nothing about that.

It is now too late to stop Google. All roads lead to Chromium.

> I'd also love to donate money to help the FF browser development but I have no guarantee that money will actually go to FF instead of some other crazy thing I don't really care for/about.

Exactly. Everyone knows donating would be pointless, since we all know who is bankrolling the development.

Mozilla is the only one that can save itself and is already at the mercy of Google. No one else can do anything about it to help them unless Mozilla steps up and properly leads itself by example rather being lead by Google.

Whether the tool should or should not be necessary is an entirely different question. The reason it is necessary is because it enabled writing "CSS" in a way that it was never meant to be written. And as evidenced by the blog post and all of the discussion here, adding the functionality to browsers isn't at all straightforward.

So a better question is why shouldn't the tool be necessary? It's all about writing the same CSS in a more developer-friendly way, not enabling CSS to do something it never could before (like variables and flex did). Why should browsers have to worry about this added complexity? Just write your stylesheets however you'd like, and then run a tool to compile them down to standard CSS.

There is WebKit! The only other remaining browser-engine held by WebKitGtk and Apple. WebKitGtk is used by many applications which use Gtk and the official web browser of GNOME, Epiphany. And as built-in engine by Apple on iOS and MacOS. Despite rumors, there is still a Qt5-Port used by Otter-Browser.

I would be happy to see a full integration of WebRTC in Epiphany. Luckily we will see soon support for WebExtensions.
I'm not sure "we don't do that here" is any more neutral than any other way of telling someone to stop doing something. It has the added weight of "we," which implies a shared set of cultural values, which in turn may help get the message across. But it does nothing to defuse someone feeling defensive about their actions.
It's been fascinating and terrifying watching people (in general and on here) jump to answers that are nice but wrong (China did it on purpose, You can cure it with X, it's just the flu, etc) over the last few years. We will never know for certain what happened.

It's honestly killed me support for democracy. 95% of people seem to be incapable of thinking about uncertainty and living with not knowing. They just jump headlong into whatever looks good. Facts and reason are just justifications for things their prejudices already decided.
That is a great way of describing that situation. Thank you for that.

The answer to a lot of these questions seems to be "we don't know". In our age, there's a cultural trend of pretending we know things, or that everything is knowable. Of course, a lot of things aren't knowable. In actual reality, we function while not knowing. Uncertainty is the nature of existence. Practically every decision and experience is loaded with uncertainty. Just as there's no absolute-reference-point (relativity), there's no absolute-knowledge-point, and that's normal.

In this thread, we are making guesses about the purpose of...well, anything. But the reality is we will never know. Or more: We don't even know whether we will ever know.

Not knowing, for me, is comforting. I like the mystery of the universe. There are so many unknowns; many unimaginable, even magical, things are possible. That's the experience a child has. It carries a sense of wonder.
I’m surprised something like this doesn’t exist yet - I wonder if it’s possible to build it on top of SQLite somehow?
Yeah maybe not. But the Dall-E images have similar characteristics. But I think you're right. This seems to have more post-processing than an AI-generated image.
The problem with that is that a lot of things, like for example racism or the value of eugenics, were publicly litigated decades ago and we overall decided we'd be overall better without them.

Not everyone agrees with that! And by continually pushing back against the "we don't do that" consensus, and arguing about the details, they keep these ideas floating around longer than they really should. Choosing to engage with them when they've already been "settled" gives them apparent legitimacy and now you're setting explicit written policies about which words can and can't be used in what contexts and shit, rather than enforcing a social norm via a social mechanism.

Some things need to be ossified! You can't be an athlete without a skeleton, you can't keep every idea in a pliable cartilage form forever if you want to do useful work on or around it. When things are more or less settled they should be solidified as well.
This is what Mozilla does. They did it with Mozilla, then Phoenix(now Firefox) saved them. Did they learn anything from that and keep developing Firefox as the best browser? Of course not, they slowly turned Firefox back into Mozilla.

People complain about Google and Chrome/Chromium for turning the browser market back into a monoculture, but it's just as much Mozilla's own fault for failing to keep up. I want to use Firefox, I want to LIKE Firefox, but Mozilla has for years now decided not to prioritize making Firefox a great browser.

They couldn't do it at all until they had really good HIV-suppressing drugs. You won't do a transplant into somebody with an active HIV infection.

They still won't do it if they can avoid it. This an extreme measure, killing off the entire immune system and replacing it. They still need to find a donor who is sufficiently compatible, and then has the right set of genes.

So it just took time for all of the pieces to fall into place.

Imagine dumb is on a scale [0, 10] where 0 is “not dumb” and 10 is “dumbest a person could possibly be.”

Now on this scale estimate how dumb someone is. If you say 2 (a little dumb) but in actuality they’re a 7 (very dumb) you underestimated how dumb they are.
