The article is neither satire nor advocating for world hunger.

Its dryly explaining capitalism uses need to incentivize work. Hunger ensures there's no alternative for workers to participating in the economy. The author doesn't clearly state approval or disapproval, just lays it out there.

For the UN this is a pretty radical position. Ending suffering, including hunger, is a major goal of the UN. Liberal capitalist democracies are the largest power-holders in the UN and to say that this system is not capable of solving hunger is to criticize these countries and admit that the UN as it exists is not capable of delivering on its promises. This is why the article was taken down.
Definitely a Civil War, but it's been going on for almost 100 years. According to Taiwan (NRC), the PRC is an ongoing rebellion. Hindsight being 20/20 Taiwan should have cut its losses back in the 1960s, admitted defeat, and seceded. PRC now has too much military power for that to be a real option.
Hi, thanks for the feedback. Yes, the API is able to handle accents and punctuation in utf-8. I have not made proofs using latin1 encoding but I will check how it's handling it (thanks for the hint). The example was taken from a knowledge base (utterances and examples to tell our AI what to recognize things inside the chatbot) of one of the users. They feed the AI algorithm with all sorts of examples, some with good punctuation and orthography but the majority have spelling errors, which are also very common in the users' interactions with the bot, and we get good recognition results with and without the tilde. We are also handling spelling errors and enhancing this since it seems (surprisingly) to be a big issue for a lot of standard NLP engines. Regards
Excited to see Taro on the front page of HN. I’m just finishing up my first internship at a Big Tech Co and the advice and discussions I’ve seen from Rahul/Alex were extremely valuable in helping me perform well.

I feel somewhat connected to the product in a weird way in that I went through the non profit Codepaths interview prep summer course which is where I heard about Rahul and seems to solve a somewhat similar pain point in that outside of the interview prep piece it allowed me to make connections and receive mentorship from experienced engineers that was incredibly valuable

Another company that I love that scratched that same itch was Hackpack. They charge a monthly membership fee and it's centered around interview prep but the main value I got from being part of the program was deep connections and mentorship with experienced engineers.

I have some small user feedback with a sample size of 1. I love the content that you guys create and consume the majority of the blogs/youtube videos/linkedIn posts but don't use the app much. Content I consume on my phone is almost exclusively hackernews, reddit and youtube. I'm not sure what the blocker is but it is strange to me that given how much I enjoy the content that I don't use the app more.

Congrats on the launch post and wish you both the best!
It depends on what you consider a person.

To me the unique feature of humanity is the brain. Functioning brain, it gets rights. No functioning brain, it's just tissue. And they're not proposing to take it far enough along that there is a functioning brain.

Thus I have no problem with it.
I don't want them ever:

chrome://settings/content/notifications

check the box next to - "Don't allow sites to send notifications
Features that need notifications won't work"

edit: I'll add, a lot of times you'll still need to click "yes" to the site popup asking if you want notifications, so the shitty user tracking they're doing will mark you as enabled. But it skips the second step of having to click no to the actual browser prompt.
Ask Apple, they are more knowledgeable than you and I combined.
I don't know why you're over-complicating this. The body that decided on that terminology didn't even invite Taiwan to participate. The terminology was chosen at the behest of China. That body was obviously not neutral.
The data science degrees are essentially a vocational program for the students that would not be successful tackling the CS/math program.
How long do folks think until this will lead to actual change within what's now iRobot? Am I naive to assume nothing really will change in the next year or two? I just bought this thing a year ago. It's frustrating to think it's now part of the Amazon data collection system.

I wonder if there'll be a way to sever the device from the cloud and use it through HomeAssistant exclusively. As far as I know it is running an MQTT server but I have no idea how much it relies on the cloud to function.
OMG, this is a game-changer. It makes selection so much easier then trying to position long-touch.
Another C++ Library (+command line tool) to convert images to Ansi art is TerminalImageViewer(tiv): https://github.com/stefanhaustein/TerminalImageViewer

The algorithm is described at the top of the README, examples are at the end.

I'd really be interested to read what the specific innovation is for new libraries / algorithms... A shared reference image would probably also help to see the differences...
I think nix probably needs a more beginner friendly documentation as well, by beginner friendly I mean Linux beginners. Beginners will not read through nix pills (assuming they can understand it) before trying nix, they will just give up. And there are a lot of Linux users who don't have much technical knowledge about how binaries are being linked, etc.

I think the ecosystem is now mature enough for beginner users to ignore the detailed packaging issues, just rely on home manager and nixos options for most of the setup. And I think it is should be possible to create something like a GUI for home manager, to lower the entry barrier. If people are looking for a distribution rather than a build system, we shouldn't be teaching them how to use nix as a build system, we should show them some config that just works.
Thanks for the feedback and great question!

There are definitely more toxic ways to get promoted, "gamifying" the process like you said. The prime example is playing infamous corporate politics, providing the perception of doing great work without actually doing it. I hate those kinds of games (I saw it ruin various orgs I've been on across my ~8 years working in Silicon Valley), and because of that, Taro isn't a product to teach software engineers how to play politics and other tricks.

On the flip side, we really do believe that promotion, especially in the more innovative, modern tech companies, has many components stemming from actual growth. While Meta was far from perfect, I largely felt like promotion pushed me to develop skills that genuinely made me a better software engineer and person to work with. I learned to empathize with other parties, especially those who weren't in engineering, and factor in their perspectives when building alignment on projects. I learned to think proactively, clamping down risks early instead of letting them blow up the project and team later on down the road. I learned to work through others, mentoring more junior engineers, and taking on responsibility for their well-being. The even cooler thing is that I found myself applying those skills outside of work as well: I became a better listener and got better at hectic life activities like vacation planning.

Taro is a product meant to teach those kinds of aforementioned, more "wholesome" skills, and Rahul and I have historically found it hard to find guidance to learn those skills. I didn't start seriously building those deeper behaviors until I rolled some incredible managers ~5 years into my career. We believe that this kind of learning should be far more accessible, and by doing so, we can help empower a workforce that's far more productive and positive.
Taxis have gotten better (at least in my neck of the woods), and have comparable apps to Uber now. As for Uber's other advantages - those seem to be going away now that money for ride subsidies is running out.

You are pushing (incorrect) anecdotes, with a hubris of certainty.

Please provide quality references, or even some argument, to support your statement, beyond 'you said so'. 'You said so' is always a useless information-less way to communicate that I would push back on, but this is a health relevant issue, and you are spreading misinformation that is dangerous. Provide some quality references if you're right, but you're not.
> Rather than try to pinpoint the exact level of dedication we’re trying to foil, from curious power user to nation state actor, let’s aim for something that’s hopefully as hard to break as our transport (e.g., HTTPS). AES should be helpful.

AES is in that range for the short term. Not over months or years.

Anyone considering this should keep in mind youtube's mass privating of older unlisted videos, which was needed because they used to use an encrypted counter for video IDs. That key was in so many places, and it got out.
Fabricating chips is the most sophisticated manufacturing that humans have ever built. Key dimensions in a single transistor are about the length of 100 hydrogen atoms. It takes a lot of technology to control things at that scale, and build billions of them in one chip.

OP is free to say "Shame on Apple", boycott Apple, and publicly pray for the gods to smite Apple from On High. If OP's actual interest is in discouraging such corporate behavior, then only the second of those options seems likely to accomplish anything.

Re: Cotton - even if every ill-treated cotton worker suddenly became a well-treated union member, there's still the huge moral problem of how much of the Earth's scarce fresh water and farmland are devoted to growing cotton - when millions of poor people face grim shortages of food and safe water. I admit that being an old geezer makes it easier, but my approach is to buy far fewer new clothes & textile products than the average American. That strategy completely fails to grant me 100% moral purity on the issue. OTOH, it does far more good than fashionable kids decrying the deplorable status quo.
Assembly was absolutely exotic coming from QBasic & QuickBasic though. Moreso as the '90s progressed and writing .COM was seen more often in the dwindling number of applications requiring extra attention to system resources.
This is seriously the last straw for me, I'll be switching away from Mikrotik to OpenWRT devices, a router should stay a router, not run containers!

There is a lot of staffing churn in the film world and many films are built by farming out work to dozens of separate VFX studios.

I speculate that having this open source increases its popularity, which makes more likely that any given potential hire or VFX company will have experience with it, which makes it easier for DreamWorks to ramp up new hires or contract out to third party companies.

When I was at EA, we switched from a proprietary UI tool (which was quite well suited for consoles) to Flash (which wasn't) entirely because it eased staffing problems even though the technology itself was a worse fit. The best tool is often the one that people you can hire already know.
My biggest disappoinment is with NPR. They were shilling Helium on their recent podcast. Anderssen Horowitz was even cited as a source in their story.

Show HN: A link/news aggregator I am working on
Hello HN,
I'm building omegapedia.com, a link/news aggregator that combines features of multiple other sites.
I started building this site because I often found some features lacking in other websites.
As example:

You can format you text to be italic, red, blue or to be a spoiler.
Comments are not threaded and don't include any voting feature.
Omegapedia uses upvotes and downvotes for posts but shows them as separate numbers.
I styled the page in darkmode but added an optional lightmode as well.
I added "Trust-Points" and a leaderboard to show the 5 users with the most points.
Other noteworthy features are:

-Comment replies.

-Flairs.

-Adding a bio to your profile.

-Mention users in comments.

-Ability to add a email address to your account.

-Forgot-my-password function.

-Link posts.

There is no need to add a email andress to your account and you will never be forced to.

The site works on pc and mobile.

The site is very lightweight because there are no CSS or JavaScript libaries that will have to be downloaded first.
There are multiple ways to sort the posts and a way to show the recent comments so you can join a current discussion anytime.

There is no register barrier and you will be automatically logged in a muted guest account.

I am very interested in feedback and if you have any
questions or comments please let me know, thank you!

> Pelosi was quite bold in her little stunt recently with Taiwan. She's willing to send our boys and girls to war for a political stunt is pretty disgusting

The only reason she went was because the US military deemed it safe to do so. No one wants a war right now.

> I wonder what she was really trying to accomplish.

Why not listen to her words?

"We must stand by Taiwan, which is an island of resilience. Taiwan is a leader in governance … . At the same time, Beijing is squeezing Taiwan economically, pressuring global corporations to cut ties with the island, intimidating countries that cooperate with Taiwan, and clamping down on tourism from the [mainland]. In the face of the Chinese Communist Party’s … accelerating aggression, our congressional delegation’s visit should be seen as an unequivocal statement that America stands with Taiwan, our democratic partner, as it defends itself and its freedom."
This was inspired by previous work using GPT-3 to generate regex. It uses the new codex model and works surprisingly well.

Let me know if you get any interesting results!
For a large amount of products consumers don't have a choice, or it's hard to know. Many products simply aren't made in western countries any more because the work was all shipped overseas, regardless of what the average citizen wanted.

I would bet that many shoppers buying products fullfilled by Amazon, an American company, don't realize that they are buying from China 99% of the time.
>Apple need to operate in the boundary of law. That's it

Forgive me for being naive here but how does Taiwan buy weapons? Are all the arms manufacturers selling to them breaking the law?
I’ve lived in the US for over 20 years and have been to more than half of the states, including all of the east coast, west coast and large parts of the mid west. The states I haven’t been to are way more rural than the ones that I’ve seen. If I had to guess I’ve probably seen more of the US than 95% of Americans.

I’ve also done road trips through large parts of Europe and can tell you that none of it is littered with strip malls, parking lots and houses on streets without sidewalks.
> It looks like they only announced it yesterday... and yes have already rolled it back?

They didn't really "announce" it, the plans were leaked.

In Greece, we saw a board next to a cliff: Great danger! Walk quickly.

They meant it, as they always do over there. Even so, some English speaking tourist went right to the edge, as there were no fences so they presumed it safe
If they were operating in North Korea, should they be leaking the names of anti-Kim Jong-un employees to the authorities as well if that were the law?
Glossing over their Q2 statements:

* Their current liabilities are a bit over their current assets and have been since the start of the year

* Their equity fell by more than half. Debt:Equity is now 3x

As always, the answer is that they can continue to burn cash for a while yet.
Well google has a billion users, they’re not just optimizng for what you want. Their tests have shown that people generally prefer relevant pages over all three words so that’s what they show, but they’ve decided to include the quote command for people like you.
> He conveniently ignores that conflict of interest policies prevent journalists owning cryptocurrencies, not experiencing them using the paper's money.

To see a a conflict of interest here is like saying that you must not write about the US-Dollar as a journalist as long as you have some. Perhaps it is a conflict of interest if you own a lot of it and do not disclose the fact -- but any? Is this really the case?
Is it wrong that I can visualize the length of neckbeard while reading this?
> AES is in that range for the short term. Not over months or years.

Why do you say so?
Mouse focus may be a special case of this (though I can't say I've ever really had any problems with typing into the wrong window on a click-to-focus Mac, with the rare exception of a program asking me to delete it by unexpectedly popping up a window and stealing focus), but I thought this was just one example of many UI decisions where there are multiple ways to do it, and all of them are arguably "wrong" from the standpoint of different people who are used to different things.

Zoom behavior in art programs, for instance, is what started this thread: "zoom to cursor", "zoom to selected object", and "zoom to center of screen" are all things I've seen in various art tools, and all of them are "wrong" if they're not what you're used to, and extra-"wrong" if a program suddenly changes what it's doing because "implemented fabulous new zoom behavior" made a nice bullet point on an engineer's employment history.
In this instance, I suspect "prohibited" == "we can still use Windows, but you'd better have a really really REALLY good reason"
Why aren't people developing for Windows Server more?
I know it sounds like a crazy question to ask, but why aren't people developing for Windows Server as much as they use to. It is cheaper to license per physical server or vm compared to RHEL, OEL, and SUSE enterprise, and it is easier to manage.
Thanks so much for the great feedback and consuming our content! The Taro app definitely has a long way to go, and we're also investing a lot into the web app right now as we know that a lot of folks prefer to consume professional content on their desktop.

Taro is very early, and we know that a lot of product right now sucks. If you or anyone else here has any feedback, we're all ears at team@jointaro.com!
iPad Pro (12.9 inch) + iPencil + GoodNotes (with zip-file backup) gives me best of two worlds. I scribble my notes with iPencil in GoodNotes. GoodNotes does OCR and its search functionality is good. It allows for backups in a form of zip archives (cloud backup option also available). Unlike Notability (subscription), GoodNotes app is one-time-fee.

>Windows Home Edition is notoriously hard to secure.

This is bullshit. In Windows 10 Home the Group Policy Editor is removed, and domain-join is not supported, however bulk security changes (i.e. Security Policies) can still be implemented directly to the registry with scripting.
I agree both about the keyboard feature and 3D Touch in general. Just because some people can't figure out how to use right-click or force touch, doesn't mean it shouldn't be there for the people who can figure it out. I feel like it shouldn't have been removed and that the experience of editing text is objectively worse now than it used be. I used that keyboard feature the exact same way all the time.
I don't think the primary issues are technical (LoRA is packet-based, so there'd need to more than 10 antennas near each other to cause headaches), they're financial. Even if we grant the basic premise that it would be useful to have LoRA coverage all over the place, the operator of the network needs to actually have customers who will pay to use it, and pay enough to cover then paying the people hosting nodes. I think you're right that Helium's blockchain/crypto angle is more about avoiding oversight / taxes / liability than it is any sort of fundamental requirement of getting lots of people to sign up to join building out coverage.
