I sent a comment about 3 months ago about a bug in night mode and it got fixed. No idea if my comment was the cause, though.
google literally starts captcha blocking me if i do too many quote or intext searches. there is obviously a business case for fucking over power users. "you will look at the results The Algorithm surfaces and you will like it".
Furthermore! Maintaining a steam turbine is an operational expense not matched by any for wind or solar. There are reasons we are not drilling new regular geo wells.

Literally everything costs more than wind and solar. It is why nukes will soon be mothballed.
And the next time there's a major network outage, whether because of incompetence (like the recent national outage in Canada), natural disaster, sabotage, or even war, access to all of those conveniences will be frozen solid. One won't be able to purchase so much as a stick of gum.

James Burke, in the series Connections, warns of the "technology trap", where our dependence on various high-tech systems becomes so heavily ingrained that any significant outage leaves the workings of society lethally nonfunctional. Certainly something to consider...
Is Marc Andreessen a NIMBY?
I am certainly not pro-cashless, but the points this article makes are lackluster at best.

In an entirely cashless society, the problem isn't that "not everyone is included", the problem is surveillance. You can solve inclusion easily enough... Replace cash with prepaid cards (an idea posed in the article), or issue small, purpose-built digital wallets (equivalent to a low-power smartphone, except only for managing your digital bank account), or any number of other solutions. An even better idea is to just legally require businesses to accept cash (although this goes directly against the concept of cashless).

Digital (non-"crypto") currencies could do a lot of good when applied properly. I just don't think any government or institution would apply it properly.
Yeah ironic considering this blog post (or any post at blog.google AFAICT) doesn't allow for comments. It is more like pressrelease.google or marketing.google than blog.google.
Wow, that reminds me of what Google used to look like!
Nope. They bring the hammer down on one or two crypto scams each month.[1] This week, Forsage. The SEC generally acts after someone reports losing money, so, like most law enforcement, they're looking at the past.

A bit of a tangent but I listened to the entire Jack Barsky podcast and my bullshit-o-meter was redlining the whole time.
This is such a bizarre thing to read, as it runs completely counter to my own experience.

If your problem is that people have AirPods in their ears but are actually using external mics, as you say, then okay, you've run into something I haven't, but I'm not sure that's an AirPods issue.

If your problem is that people using AirPods sound bad, I'm just not sure how that's possible. I have been in many, many, many video conferences with people using them without any issues that I can think of ever. I use them myself, and have never had anyone ask me to repeat myself or express any issue with hearing and understanding me. I've played back recordings in which I and others are using AirPods, and they sound fine.

Are these actually AirPods people are using, or cheap white bluetooth earbuds?
I guess "it's time to build" doesn't refer to Atherton, more specifically anything that might take his property value down.
That's probably true in practice but it doesn't have to be. In Japan they have train passes which effectively give you cashless money. They don't require you to register them. To add money you can put them in a machine and add cash. They can be used to buy many things. Most convenience stores accept them for example.

That said, most people do register them or use their phones in 2022 so in that case, yes you can be tracked.
I drive upstate NY and notice the flow of traffic is usually 20 mph over the limit even on narrow winding roads.

And even when I give in and drive at these uncomfortably high speeds I’m constantly tailgated, even in the slow lane.
Congrats on the launch! It's great to see more innovation and choice in the protobuf/gRPC space. Definitely planning to try this out.

For personal projects, I typically have a single Go binary that serves (1) gRPC, (2) grpc-web (using the Improbable library), and (3) gprc-gateway. Along with protobuf-ts for the client, IMO it's quite a pleasant stack. Glad to see timostamm involved in protobuf-es :)

I'm curious: Can you say more about why you ported the code generator from Go to TypeScript (https://github.com/bufbuild/connect-web/commit/8002c2696aad0...)? Was it is easier to generate code this way, or did it just get too unwieldy to package Go binaries in NPM modules?
Am I the only one here who can't figure out what the abstract is talking about after reading it for the 3rd time?
HMM... I wonder if this feature can infer that most people want less Pinterest results in their searches.

I personally, specifically !pinterest or -site: results all together.

I have nothing against pinterests, users or their products, but the noise to signal when not looking for pinterest items sucks at times, which is most of them.

Further, what sucks - is I like looking at pinterest and etsy pages at times - but the whole pay-scroll-wall for anything sucks.

Good job on the tech though, now make people actually not be pissed off on what ever dark patterns emerge from its use. :-)
I didn't mean to blame ACA for the equipment problem. That was happening well beforehand because of litigation.

ACA is directly responsible for the perverse incentive in not reducing medical costs.

ACA is bad, and they knew it when they passed it. IIRC, senator Lieberman stopped government supplied medical care for the other 50% of people who don't already get it that way
Same here. We just kept running into bugs with Firefox, especially with a lot of "newer" technologies like WebRTC.

It hurt to deprecate because I used to be such a Firefox fanboy. The last few years there's been a compounding effect of Chromium/Blink adding features that aren't supported elsewhere and Firefox just having a slew of very outdated bugs that haven't been fixed for years that have made it difficult to use. The percentage of our users who use Firefox has also steadily declined... most likely because we have to throw up "Unsupported browser, things may not work" warnings all over the place because the number of random bugs users keep running into.
There is interesting information about Google Search on their blog and YouTube channels:

https://developers.google.com/search/blog

To be fair, many Googlers are on Hackernews. There's been a lot of posts on HN recently complaining about how quotes was broken. Would not surprise me if a few Googler used the chatter to pull reports and quantify the impact leading to this fix.

I think it's a little fuzzier than that; compiled shaders can still take input, such as screen positions and uniforms and textures, and execute computations specified by your source program on that input. DVI files can't; they're just passive data, even if each page is described as "a series of commands".

If your input language is a programming language, which TeX is, and the language processor chews on it and spits out some passive data, such as DVI or PDF, that language processor is an interpreter, not a compiler. A compiler translates an input program into a hopefully equivalent output program. By design, there is no way for a DVI file to be equivalent to a TeX file.
I'm actually seeing more enforcement in my area. Although I hear some cities are reducing/banning some traffic enforcement.
All my search results have that exact phrase in it, just some with non alpha characters in that phrase.

I have no clue what your DDG is doing but it’s not behaving right.
Well the official languages of Kenya are English and Swahili, and for all I know they have Swahili ads too.

I've never been to Kenya but US dollars were widely in use in Zimbabwe when I was there.

In the same way that not believing in goblins and fairies is a choice.
All Google products I have ever used provide the option to give feedback (including screenshots).
Is that a meaningful difference?
I'm shocked, shocked to find religious extremism as the root cause.
That is precisely my point. The ability to prevent you from buying a loaf of bread will be used for control.
I’m not familiar with protobufs, but zero and nil are different types in Go. You can’t even compare a numeric type with a reference type (it’s a compiler error).
I suspect you’re right. But knowing Google I have my doubts most Googlers have any real influence over this, unless they are in VERY specific positions in the company.
> The fact that Visa already stopped being a payment processor for Pornhub/Mindgeek once in 2020 due to a NYT article about CSM shows that Visa was aware of and had control over how strictly Mindgeek/Pornhub polices the uploads for CSAM.

Yes, which shows that when Visa was aware that Pornhub was (allegedly?) breaking the law, they stopped providing service to them. Only once Pornhub tightened their policies significantly (and removed all of their content from unverified users) did Visa resume...

And it definitely is about the existence of it, actually; one of the allegations is specifically that Pornhub had child porn, failed to police it, and Visa knew both of those things.
Pokemon? I don't know. Now Magic the Gathering though...
I love DDG but it's so overzealous with rewriting queries to include more (usually irrelevant) results.
This seems like the tiniest of tiny improvements in a tiny aspect of Google Search.

Am I missing something?

How did this become the #1 story on HN?
In my area I noticed that speed early in the pandemic was borderline excessive at times. Now it seems it's mostly back to normal here. Most the issue I'm seeing are around bad judgement or distracted driving.
To add, I've had Google Docs, YouTube, Store (store.google.com), and Google Search all proactively ask me to rate the experience via a short survey element in the bottom right of the page.
It doesn't, or shouldn't, involve a third party knowing about what sites I've visited. If the baker knows I go to their bakery every tuesday, that's normal; if they know I go to the butcher's every wednesday, that's creepy.
Whixh door was that? I loved Operation Overkill, TW2002, Barren Realms Elite, LOD.. I'm not placing Lord?
We also increased the number of miles traveled, so the per mile fatalities are ~ same.

Not that this is good news, but probably an indication that nothing has improved in terms of road safety.

"Series" as a generation identifier (like 4 or 5 on PlayStation) is weird for me (but not English native). Is it natural for natives?

You can’t really filter this stuff out - it’s things like dissolved magnesium, iron, silica, boron, arsenic, etc. at least not without making it uneconomic I believe. The link below references concentrations of 250g/L or more (though often most of that seems to be salt).

It isn’t generally particulate until it’s too late. It’s the nature of water contacting hot rock.

From the environmental impact perspective [https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/geothermal-...]
I was suddenly middle-class-ish for a brief period last year. I have been mostly on the poor side for almost 14 years. To give you an example, I earned around $7,000 in all of 2014 and my average monthly income from 2016 through 2018 was $1800.

I did what was necessary - learned to cook, worked odd jobs, moved around frequently to find cheap accommodation, slept on all sorts of beddings and, sometimes, on the street, abstained from luxuries and travel etc - during this time.

Then, last year, I found a sweet gig and my income suddenly rose way beyond my expectations (around $6,000 per month). That was also the time I moved to a new apartment. I spent some of the new money on furnishings and living a comfortable life - not thinking twice about splurging on a meal or clothing. I invested in the stock market and opened an IRA account.

At the back of my mind, however, there was a nagging feeling that it wouldn't last. Sure enough, I lost the gig in February this year and am surviving on IRA money and credit cards. I forgot to cash out of the stock market near the top and suffered losses of almost $3,000. I am loathe to move out of my current place though I have a feeling I will have to, eventually. I am back to cooking all my meals and thinking twice before making purchases.

I am not sure if it is a cycle but poverty is definitely a mindset. I've been on the other side where I was making decent money that allowed me to live comfortably (not ostentatiously). I was in a better mental state. Lately, I have been pretty depressed (although things are not as bad as they were in 2014) and exhausted all the time.

> "but humans would make terrible batteries" thing

I'm not sure if you actually know this, but AFAIK initially the script writers wanted it to be 'the human brain as CPU' but the studio was afraid the general movie populace (back in 1999) wouldn't know what a CPU was and thus wouldn't jive with it.
> So `sizeof(size_t)` must be a concrete integer constant for any given C implementation, it can't change at runtime.

I didn't say it has to change at runtime, I said that there is no upper limit on it in theory, because the upper limit is specified in terms of the implementation, and a a theoretical implementation with no upper limit on memory means that there is no upper limit on size_t.

Besides, I also said:

> Sure, size_t is finite in practice, but then again, so are all other programming languages.

Using your definition of Turing complete (no upper limit on pointer, references or addresses), I cannot think of one popular language that would satisfy that definition. Can you?
Not so impressed by the research: I forgot the exact wording, but it took me a lot of effort to keep listening when he asked Neal Stephenson something to the effect of if he had ever heard of the metaverse.
Russians are a slavic people. There are ethnic subgroups of other backgrounds that live largely within the borders of Russian and have Russian nationality like the Tatars, the Chechens, the Kalmyks etc.
I would argue that a search for "like this"without quotes should maybe find that page. But the search with quotes should not find it.
No I think he became the richest man in the world by making observations and acting on those observations successfully.
It's top HN because HN commonly sees complaints about quotes in Google Search not performing correctly; i'd link to some of these complaints, but the algolia search is needlessly fuzzy and doesn't seem to include all comments on HN.
I think what scares me about Kagi is the privacy aspect. One thing to look up "hot steamy decompiler software in my area" in an incognito tab (even if it's not particularly that private) and another to do that logged in to a service linked to your credit card linked to you through all the KYC.
I’m using phaser3, there’s a few html5 game engines though. I’m doing it pretty low budget, so I’m not using webassembly, peoples computers and phones are plenty fast now to just render sprites through browser. Multiplayer logic goes through firebase real-time database.
I had a near hit today. A SUV crossed two lanes both blinded by a string of cars into a Wendy's. I would have been fine if we collided but his passenger would have probably died. I think that is just a sign of people being impatient. There was a turn lane. I've had about 3 near hits this year.
I think the analogy to natural selection is apt. So is it really Google's fault? Seems like a consequence of a fitness function. And even if there were 4 competitive search engines in the world, each spammy site would optimize for one (or would even have 4 versions that each optimized for a single search engine).
Not to taunt about the article, but the most important pandas parameters to me are `iterator=True` and `chunksize=x`, for streamed processing. Here's an example for processing a CSV file with 400 Million latitude and longitude coordinates.[1]

> Your complaint boils down to "using features makes observability difficult", which is obviously true in some sense, but you're dismissive of what those features unlock.

It's not a complaint, just a fact that gRPC has fantastic integration with very deep telemetry, and that anything off the beaten path (such as this alternate protocol) is probably going to require significant handholding/customization to make visible. Connect-web wont, out of the box, have any of this deep built-in customization, because it's right now a tiny player, and no one is going to do the work for you, unlike the couple big names.

It's ironic that you mention GraphQL. Yeah, to be honest, I find graphql to be barberic. Submitting all your requests to /graphql is a dirtbag piece of shit regression that only an idiot too stupid to remember how terrible & shitty SOAP was would ever have suggested. It'd offensively bad a premise, & it makes looking at HTTP basics like the path useless. But I use it at work & dont complain. It's well supported by most observability tools.

I have faith Connect-Web hasnt fucked up nearly as bad, but it's still not going to have anywhere near the sweet out of box L7 observability grpc nor graphql has and that's just obvious, uncontestable, clear, & it matters, a lot, & no protest or dislike of what Im saying alters that.

Graphql, in spite of it's dis-http piss-around attitude, is also the exact proof of how valuable popularity is; something connect-web protocol doesnt have now. I can search for specific graphql queries or mutations, or even specific arguments passed in to these queries/mutations- in nearly any major observability platform, in spite of this being fairly obfuscated data deep inside the http posted body envelope, because it's popular, because the work has been done to probe in.

You talk about respecting the features of new protocols. Im not trying to dis on Connect-Web- I have beef but it's elsewhere- but Connect-Web doesnt actually have new features. It's a new 3rd way to do what we already do. One that that will definitely clearly obviously uncontestably have less good tooling support than the we supported official protocol, & which exists only because the browser fucked shit up & failed to deliver, across 3/4 of a decade. It matters that the solutions we built around this shitshow are not as popular, not as supported, and while I like & respect connect-web protocol, I think it's necessary & truthful to view it as a relatively unsupported ideally-not-needed-at-all upstart; the very need for it is terrible versus just using the real, very well supported, highly observbable thing.

I genuinely dont get the objection. Being not-the-mainstream, being an alternate upstart alternative will almost certainly have less awesome support. That's a fact that needs to be faced, not smokescreened.
No. and No.
Do you not pay for your own ISP or cell service?

And for all practical purposes, switching to an incognito tab is pointless against Google. If there are 99 searches from IP 1.2.3.4 using Firefox version 123.4 with Google cookies, and now 1 search from IP 1.2.3.4 using Firefox version 123.4 without Google cookies is practially "good enough" to assume it's still the same person.

Anyway, I'm also sold on Kagi, and DuckDuckGo before that. I didn't even know Google had broken quote searches, but I'm not too surprised.
Why do you want the government meddling in people’s individual financial affairs? Seems like an extremely odd thing to wish for.
I would love to see a origin/latin etc breakdown of the word behave. One of my least favorite words (authority issues much? Yes).
> Lol… the founding documents of the United States are pretty explicit about not trusting government. Something like 80% of people don’t trust news media today.

Sure, but that's not what I mean by the status quo. Almost all humans support the status quo as defined by what they believe their tribal ingroup supports, they believe that those other people who are aligned with themselves are the only ones privy to "the real story" and the people in the other tribe are evil and/or stupid. They both support the status quo as "why can't everyone just be reasonable like me and my people", and "the government" or "the media" as expeditionary forces against them are viewed as enemies to their status quo.

By contrast, it is extremely rare you will find people who acknowledge the bounds of their certainty about what's actually going on, that they aren't so sure that what they think about how things should be done is the right way to go, that they're willing to subject their prescriptions to empirical analysis, that they think maybe there are things they don't know and indeed things nobody knows that significantly impact all of the above factors, and if on reflection and analysis the status quo can be shown to be deficient in a concrete way, they accept that it should be overhauled.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think there's enough of these people in the world that they actually could be a tribe, and when I see them musing to themselves in the obscure fringes in which they operate, they frequently make reference to the fact that they often feel like clowns that don't fit anywhere at all. It's true these people do tend to view government and media with suspicion, but the difference between them and their tribal counterparts is that they've always viewed government and media that way, and government and media have in turn always been opposed to them, as the glue that holds together the tribal factions that otherwise tend to dominate society and whose favor those entities are constantly trying to curry, frequently by casting aspersions on those outsiders.
I wasn’t the one who made the original comparison bruv, and I have only been explicit about saying I thought Trump’s behavior was worse. I very clearly made no equivalences whatsoever.
Only semi related but maybe weird enough to count as a worthy HN comment?

Step 1. Open Snapchat (make a burner account if you need to)

Step 2. Open the “Snap Map” - stylized pin icon on the bottom left

Step 3. Pan and zoom to your neighborhood/city and click a colorful region

Step 4. (In my experience) see loads of people obviously recording videos while operating motor vehicles.

I know what you’re thinking - it could be a passenger taking the video; when that is even remotely a possibility, I don’t count that.

Just now it took 36s to find video evidence of an operator using their phone while driving. But I don’t count because the vehicle was at a stop sign.

37s to find a video of a cyclist videoing while cycling. Less severe of an issue, but it is scary for pedestrians when a cyclist is hurtling at you and not looking.

10s later I find three separate videos from three separate cars; differentiated by the instrument cluster and steering wheel top grip.

TLDR in less than a minute I can find fresh video evidence of distracted driving. I have also almost been run over by someone who was texting (or perhaps Snapping).

But ultimately, none of that is a root cause or anything new, just a “fun” observation about how disgustingly reckless some drivers are.
Aren’t all US exchanges KYC anyway? What could the SEC possibly be looking for?
It makes sense when you think about it. There are probably a lot more 10-12 y.o.s watching The Office vs being told racy jokes by adults.
But does this really detract from what his guests are saying?
