> There are probably robberies and assaults at every Wikipedia-scale gathering you or I have ever attended.

I mean, true, but when there are literal piles of flaming debris and the fun involves what other people might consider a riot, I think it's not like he didn't know what was going on.

Look at what happened with the twitchcon party thing with the open cups of alcohol and a bunch of people got drugged. Now that was just bad party planning as well, but for random attendees, I get it - they didn't know that some of the cups were spiked.

> Or is the important thing that he just change the way he feels about the festival now in hindsight?

He doesn't have to change the way he feels, but the way he presents what he feels very much sounds like denial to me. And if you're posting your feels on the internet, you have to put up with everyone else's (including mine)'s feels too. He could have just posted all the pictures on his very popular instagram and not written that he didn't see the bad things.

It would have been just as interesting, if not more, to let people draw their own conclusions based on the pictures.

> I dunno what I was doing the day those bad things happened at that festival (I was in Colorado) but I was probably having a good time. And I don't regret it!

Fair enough, but this is almost like someone saying they got married on 9/11 and that is why they had a great day so it wasn't as bad as people remember? It doesn't seem related at all if you weren't there.
This explains so much. I didn't realize this feature was removed, and I just assumed that I had somehow changed my settings to add a delay. For how I used it, long press still works pretty well, but now you have to "trust" that it is working during the delay.
Why do you assume that there were no repercussions?

The jury got to see that he was a liar. Do you think that played no part in their decision? Do you think it will play no part in their decision on punitive damages?

Or did you mean something more like prison? The provable perjury happened, what, two days ago? Indictments like that don't happen overnight, but I hope (and maybe even trust) that it is in fact coming.

Exactly this. This is a cultural issue, more than anything else.

Countries like Japan have taken a profoundly different approach to urban development, and have more mixed-use zones (single-family, multi-family, high-rise, etc).

TLDR: The problem with Godot is that it tries to be everything to everyone.

They made an engine, an editor (a text editor, resource editor, debugger ...), invented a new language. They "support" export to almost all popular OS platforms. But in my opinion it's lacking in quality. The engine is slow (old style based on OOP), the editor is buggy, the language (GDScript) doesn't have the features of a modern scripting language.

But it's certainly good for rapid prototyping and learning.
Ask HN: Homomorphic encryption: Is govt tampering a real fear for FHE research?
Dear HN,

I have been fascinated by the potential of homomorphic encryption [1] to disrupt privacy-preserving data analysis and have been following the research in this area closely. Recently, I have become increasingly concerned about the possibility of government tampering with homomorphic encryption schemes, which could have devastating consequences for the security and privacy of users.

Is this a real fear for FHE research? If so, what are the best ways to protect against it?

Yeah, no big deal, really. The addition of Woodstock Bucks would have made '99 even more crazy. I couldn't imagine the backlash from thousands of people holding onto worthless tokens after what happened on the last night, and management potentially making the worst decision possible on if they should/should not trade them in for cash (saying nothing about you, the vendors!)

Ask HN: “government is printing money” - what does it mean in practice?
Is there a book (or any source) where I could understand the mechanics of quantitative easing? (the practice, not theory)

I understand that the government is not literally printing money. But it's creating it somewhere, somehow.

Where and how?

This money has to go from public to private hands.

Which private hands are receiving it? Do they get it "for free"?
Unfortunately I've never worked anywhere that wasn't bad at hiring the right people beyond quite small companies. In principle however, I agree.
Alex and I have created several case studies (video + text) from our careers, and we also bring in speakers (e.g. David Pan on the demo page) to talk about specific stories from their career.

As we get larger, we'll open up members to share case studies within Taro. We've found our existing members have really insightful stories that are quite applicable to others.
Great idea. Not cheap I assume.

Apple would get easily undercut by competitors with lower prices? Many have tried.

But yes, that could happen to other companies, which shows that consumers share responsibility for ignoring the labor and environmental conditions.
And make political contributions like a real citizen.
What's especially nuts about this to me is that macOS supports static scrollbars! System Preferences → General → Show Scroll Bars → Always.

Or, leave the default settings in place, but plug in a mouse with a physical scroll wheel.

So it's not even that they're only using one platform, but they're only testing the platform with default settings with the default hardware. And we're not even talking about an obscure setting buried three levels deep, it's right there in the general pane!
This is one of the first things I always turn on with a new Mac. And I always encourage everyone on my teams to turn this on because otherwise it goes completely unnoticed until we get that huge surge of issues and product being angry because Windows users complain about it.

But I also place the blame on design teams. Most design teams I've worked with also doesn't account for this in anything they create. They usually only design for: 1: the latest macbook pro; and 2: the latest iPhone.
> Just because I know an identifier doesn't mean I should be able to do _anything_ with it.

Depends. If it’s a sequential ID, then sure, but if it’s sufficiently random and sparse, then it can be fine to use it as authentication.

But it’s not always about authentication and security. The information leak itself is regularly a problem. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_tank_problem for one practical example, though you normally don’t even need anything that fancy. Businesses do this where they can to analyse competitors, figure out how big they are, how they should price things, &c.
It was the consumer's choice on what to buy and where to buy it from. But demand for low prices, regardless of where and how things are manufactured (overseas and in sweatshops) and lack of demand for accountability in the 1980s and 1990s when manufacturers shipped jobs and work overseas that resulted in where we are. Consumers always have choice, we've just made self-serving short-term choices.
Yes, but you can reduce the number of gestures required to use an interface. It wasn't that long ago when the only required gesture was tap, and it was quite easy for novices to figure it all out from there.

But then they added long press, so now one icon does two or more things depending on how long your finger is touching it.

Then they decided some things don't do anything at all if you tap them, only if you long press them.

Then they decided it should matter how hard you long press.

Then they decided you should memorize which quadrant of the screen you need to swipe to do something.

"intuitive" is a spectrum, and we are steadily moving to the less intuitive side. I think just giving users a bash prompt and a cheat sheet might be more intuitive at this point.

Tons of people retweeted the image without the greater context, and it still carried the authority of having been said by a renowned scientist.
Macos do have a option to always show scrollbar. And I think this is a pre-requirement to enable that if you ever care about what your user may actually see as a FE.

Besides that, there isn't actually obvious different between firefox/chrome/edge on macos/windows.

The most problematic one is actually safari(which is on mac only). If you dev on chrome and use on firefox or vise versus. You usually get a "mostly work with minor visual different". But safari… will give you a fail and are't even usable. It is outright the modern age ie.
Why we should be reduce human morality to what can be "provably" found in other social animals? There are some rudimentary similarities, but those similarities do not circumscribe the entirety of human moral experience, not by a large stretch.

Taiwan has a unique political arrangement but they view themselves as China, not as a separate country.
It is stupendously astounding that NYT hasn't written anything about Apple's ties with China in scathing detail.

Even this story was not featured: https://www.theinformation.com/articles/facing-hostile-chine...

The Information is one of the most reputable sources of information (no pun) from silicon valley and it was largely ignored.

I would like a massive investigative journalism project, perhaps from WSJ with the same rigor has their Theranos investigation by John Carreyrou.

American journalism has talked about Uigher/labor issues in China, but never in the light of "Hey, look, this is the elephant in the room when it comes to China and no one cares. That's the amount of shit America consumes and depends on China".
Has no one done the math on this? Isn't it clearly a horrible idea, based on how much energy is available from the sun over a few square meters if car, versus the amount of energy cars use?

In term of political discourse it is/was a good source to verify the validity of some of the more up voted stuff on HN. One top comment a few years ago predicted that the US would abolish election and be a monarchy by 2020. An other that there would be a full scale nuclear third world war in 2019. There were one saying that the US would enter a new civil war by 2021. In each case I checked betting sites to see if such views held enough popular support, but alas I could not find any to bet against.

If people who hold conspiracy theories put down money and lost, maybe that would do more to change how people think than any political debate ever could.

unfortunately, i don't have access to university resources anymore. but i suspect that if someone were to go pull the 1980 annual report for at&t (T) from the proquest historical annual reports database (should be available via online library resources to anyone with an active university affilation) and were to take those financials and the inflation adjust them (perhaps to pre-pandemic times as things are all shifting around right now), and then compared the revenues and profits of the top five largest technology companies in the united states, one would find that they're on a similar scale.

unfortunately i cannot verify that for myself right now.

The Fourier Transform, explained in one sentence
It is an App installed on current iPhones, iPads, and Apple Watches. It just outlines features in the products, e.g. new iOS 15 features, “Essentials”, What’s new in watchOS 8, “Health”, “Beyond Basics”, “AirPods Max”, “AirPods”. I think various sections show up depending on what you buy or add to your Apple ID, and usually I’m able to learn a few things a year from it that I missed in the announcements or didn’t see covered elsewhere.
> I’d love examples of high quality apps without a basic codesigned certificate, maybe we have a disagreement over the term “quality”.

We're not talking AAA rated, but Kdiff3 and Zenmap should qualify.

> the Mac App Store is the go-to source for distributing Mac apps at this point.

I wouldn't say the verdict is in yet.

> There’s some examples of popular apps not on the MAS but they grow fewer by the year.

Well, yeah, the success stories have the budgets to handle compliance issues, and to manage risk appropriately. Apple will also be more lenient with large publishers for a number of reasons. I wasn't talking about popular apps, I was talking about apps that make me productive. Things made for power users. Popular isn't a concern there. But if BigCo doesn't allow me to install it, that's a dealbreaker for me working there. Experienced that in 2010 when working for a Fortune 50. One approved text editor, one approved browser. The productivity apps I use are not on the app store. They are signed, but chances are that a locked down Mac will require App Store installations only, while a Microsoft configuration would be more optimal.

For the record, I DO prefer a Mac for productivity. But when it comes to security, Microsoft wins. Or even better, Linux (though Microsoft is giving it a run for its money with W11)

Yes it is, you are just conflating ownership and creation. Intellectual property exists to provide a bargaining framework for human creators, there's no reason that joint ownership of it need imply that mechanically-generated combinations should also be included.
Taiwan is a sovereign country by definition.

Sovereignty is something you observe, not something you declare. A regime that is successfully able to maintain control of its territory and prevent its territory from being controlled by anyone else, for a n indefinite period of time, is by definition sovereign. That is what sovereignty is.

Taiwan's regime has been able to control its territory for decades. PRC can claim that they wish Taiwan was not sovereign, and this is very true, but until they successfully invade and take it over, Taiwan is still sovereign.

Just a little English vocabulary lesson!

It seems the status-quo will be maintained for now. I think that's good, there's too many unanswered questions about AI.

If AI can create patents, can AI also publish prior art? It seems only fair, right?

But, in that case, the same AI technology used to file 1,000 patents would be used to create a million trillion publications of prior art. If an AI can produce something worthy of patent, then a freely published version of the same would surely count as prior art. We'd end up with the "great tome of prior art" a 500 terabyte download filled with patent worthy ideas but freely published to establish prior art. This is just one of the many things we might find in Pandora's Box of AI patents.
> With $6,500 revenue? I've talked to about a dozen folks like me, doing small, on-the-cusp-of-success startups, doing 3 to 5x that revenue with nowhere near the exposure as Helium, who get essentially laughed out of the room when trying to raise 500K.

There's a magic combination of no morals, a product and rampant speculation that investors flock to.
Viral content has gotten so weird alongside the rise of the algorithms. A funny cat video is no longer interesting enough to get shared around by millions of people. The trick I've noticed now is to make the viewer seem smart and/or above the person in the video. People doing bizarre, baffling things that you couldn't come up with an explanation for so that people will see it and go "wow this person is an idiot!" and share it around.

There's an entire genre of videos that feature a woman in a (expensive-looking) kitchen, saying she's gonna show you a super easy and convenient recipe, and as it goes on it turns out to be the dumbest thing you've ever seen. There will always be a man, assumedly her husband, behind the camera narrating along and agreeing that whatever she's making looks delicious. Then they eat the weird concoction at the end and pretend like it's amazing. Again, this is the same kind of content I described above, where it's designed to make the viewer think the people in the video are stupid, when really the viewer is the one being gamed when they share it around to their friends and give those "idiots" more ad revenue.

> Maybe the knockoff was made by 10 year old slaves in a factory with no human rights pressures (and oversight). If you knew there was a high probability this was true, would you still have the "don't care" opinion?

If there was a high probability that I am supporting slavery, then I would change my mind.

Do you have any evidence to support the claim that there is a high probability of something that I purchase from Amazon was made with slave labor?

Aside from this, what is the solution that you propose? How can you ever participate in the global economy and definitively say that you aren't supporting something 'evil'? Are people suppose to go and inspect the supply chain before buying batteries?

It sounds funny because it is in the context of Citizens United v. FEC, which struck down as unconstitutional a federal law prohibiting corporations and unions from making expenditures in connection with federal elections. In that case, the law which was about limiting influence on campaigns through money was ruled invalid because corporations should have rights as people in addition to the rights of the people themselves.
Calling someone who is a natural intelligence artificial is an insult (not a slur), but calling something artificial, such as an AI, is a neutral term.

Even if an AI were to become a person at some point in the far future, they would still be an artificial intelligence/person, by definition: they are man-made, not naturally born. That wouldn't make them lesser, just different.

Building a stick frame house on site is the cheapest out of all the methods. The expensive parts are the finishes and appliances.

Also, houses could easily be designed in a simpler fashion (a rectangle without any modulation, ductless HVAC, etc.) for an inexpensive build.
So because you see testing all the things together as too prohibitive, you balk at testing the individual bits in isolation (hence "UNIT" testing)?

Encrypting sequential identifiers is an excellent way of avoiding leaking the ID sequence, which is regularly at least mildly sensitive data, generally more sensitive than you expect, and preventing ID enumeration (either completely, if the ID space is sparsely occupied, or at least sequentially if it’s fullish).

This is especially the time for jokes. And the more anyone argues it isn't, the more it becomes so.
I did sort of like the press slightly to move the text carat, but my biggest complaint is the level of pressure needed to activate never felt really consistent to me - there is a sort of range of pressures it worked across, I could never get reliable muscle memory for activating it with 100% success rate. I think people arguing this was intuitive are extremely misguided; it has almost zero discoverability unless you read about it or are shown.

I always assumed the bigger issue is that because this is strain based, extrapolating the feature to an iPad sized screen was possibly too challenging without resorting to something like an array of strain gauges to measure across the display. IIRC, no iPad ever got this feature. Given how it worked on an iPhone sized display, I can imagine challenge increases with screen size of measuring this accurately.

One also has to imagine that when Apple reviewed their usage metrics, was this feature even worth the cost to ship?
