Agreed, I'm impressed by just clicking a link and seeing the app there to use, no messing around. Good stuff.
Camel Facts and Information
~19 years ago my first real introduction to software/hardware/firmware hacking and electronics/soldering was turning the digital, one-time use "disposable" cameras that CVS etc. sold, into reusable digital cameras. Plenty of issues along the way and drawbacks with the final product, but for the time it was one of the cheapest digital cameras you could get (because the price was heavily subsidized on the fact that you would be returning it to develop the pictures, at which point it could be cleared and sold again). That definitely helped put me on the tinkering path I'm on now.
Punctuation in Novels (2016)
Looking at a previous article on NYT at the comments section there are alot of people not really wanting to read axios:

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/07/business/media/axios-loca...

Not wanting personalization algorithms or not liking bullet points.

Overhere at HN the commenters are very positive.

Anyone has an idea if this based on demographics or interests that there is such a discrepancy?
>Just met two "stargazer" links in the past 30 minutes

Do you met those through the GitHub button shown on their homepage? The left part ("Star") will take you to the project's repo home, whereas the right part (number of people that starred project) will take you the stargazers page. It's kinda unintuitive since they appear like they perform an action but only the fork button does.
US needs to economically retaliate in kind. If the US has the same data protections as the EU they’d make up some other excuse to attack US companies. This is what happens when you can’t compete you make up regulatory excuses.

I’m sure I’ll get downvoted by Europeans but it’s the truth. Look at the valuable companies and where they are located :)
I'm sure. It's really a lovely place full of lovely people. And the standard of living is still relatively high. They are their own worst enemies sadly.
Comparable move could be for US to forbid using EU hosted services to ie. store medical records of US citizens etc., no?
Fair enough. Maybe I should have just said that it's possible to give concrete illustrations of basic algebraic concepts, and that doing this would probably help some students learn algebra, and might help others retain it.

But for whatever reason this is generally skipped in middle/high-school algebra.
What is an "online identification"? In what context would such a thing occur?
"I trust you more than Google" is a pretty low bar in terms of personal data.
Friendly reminder that the US government turned a profit from the 2008 bailout. People often hear the word bailout and think it was free money when it actually was a loan.
> This lets you use a $100 speaker as that amp

Not all amps are equal. The Sonos Amp can competently drive 4 beefy in-wall/ceiling speakers. The Sonos Amp isn't just the guts of this product marked up 5x.

Either way, it's silly that Sonos doesn't have a simple un-amplified receiver for similar setups. Perhaps they are afraid consumers would get confused about non-amplified products given all their other products are amplified.
For those less informed about its history, is there any transparent accounting of ARPA's cost-vs-success during its initial decades that you recommend reading?
I am only marginally familiar with some of the 'big-impact wins' that are frequently mentioned, so I would love to read a comprehensive analysis of its accomplishments.
Of course you can say you have no intent. Plenty of people use Tornado Cash to separate one wallet from another without any intention whatsoever to aid in any way illicit activity. Just like the road crew, they know the service will be used for illegal purposes but can have zero intent for it to happen.
The same medium that makes it hard to fix mistakes makes it hard to commit that many mistakes to begin with.

And paper is distributed, hard to counterfeit and long-lasting in ways we haven't figured out how to replicate in electrons yet.
I know, I still use it myself too. I just mean it's not relevant anymore in mainstream computing and it was in 1997 when most people still used dialup modems.
What "needle"? On Rayiner's side of the argument, there are loud people on the Internet and in leftist think tanks. On my side of the argument, there is the almost unbroken record of moderate/liberal Democrats defeating progressives in primaries, and the recall of leftist politicians in (of all places) San Francisco.

The party rejects this stuff, because ordinary voters reject it, and, contrary to Rayiner's belief, the Democratic party responds primarily to its voters, not to The Groups.
You need some way to activate the yubikey. That could well be an online interview.
Why are you framing it as an "or" situation? I'm pretty confident most people dislike both these sectors. It is an "and" situation. Turning "ands" into "ors" is really whataboutism.
Is this really "forgotten"? Forgotten by whom?

I thought this was part of LDS mythology surrounding the settlement of the Utah territory and was fairly well known. I remember reading about the war in college, and it is definitely part of any history of Buchanan's presidency.
Underrated use cases (which I hopefully don't ruin by saying out loud):

-Share a browser session; someone can log in and let someone else do stuff without having to share their password.

-Burner phone to install garbage, or untrusted apps on that "you only need once" or that you just need to use to screenshot a coupon etc.

-Burner phone to access Facebook or TikTok with, with no private data risk

-US IP address to get around geoblocking
In 2001: A Space Odyssey (filmed in 1968), they had tablet computers with video communication and sentient AI, all courtesy of IBM. Moore's Law was first coined in 1965. I don't think the tech itself would be all that shocking to those in the know, but you may be right about the societal reactions.

They can fight in an american court. The issue is the cloud act which was passed explicitly to fight eu companies fighting in eu courts us govt data requests.
After every crash, people make fun of all the folks that said "this time is different". Maybe that will happen again. And maybe not - or maybe there is no crash at all.

I, for one, am truly perplexed. Some things look awful and some things look great. If there is a crash, perhaps it will provide clarity so we can look back and say "it wasn't any different this time".
I hope you are aware that "the cloud" is not some secret, mysterious piece of technology that the EU can't figure out. We have software engineers as well as data centers and EU-based cloud companies. Digital consumer networks were established here long before the U.S and the internet was invented here.
Your arrogance is grating.

No. Western court systems are not a dumb box of logic gates; they evaluate mens rea.

Edit to reply to your edit (why not post a reply?): that's exactly why they have been added to the sanctions list explicitly, rather than prosecuting users for money laundering.

This is a really interesting piece on the motivation for Tailwind. On the one hand, it totally makes sense; but on the other hand, it seems to solve problems we wouldn't be having without CSS in the first place ;)
It reminds me of the meme where guys sing over "Evanescence - Bring Me To Life" with the snapchat gender swap filter on. The female vocals are done facing the camera, showing a female face, the male vocals are done sideways. Turning sideways effectively disables the filter, showing the real (male) face.

Just look it up, (or go there if you feel lazy https://digg.com/2019/bring-me-to-life-gender-swap )
Thank you! That's the next item on our roadmap. We plan to create a public API and gradle plugin to automate link creation.

Our vision is to have a stable link for your app that links to the latest version of the app so that people can quickly find and interact with it.
Immediate consequences... None. While all of your competitors are still using american cloud services, you won't get fined.

But as soon as competitors start moving to european hosting solutions, you need to too - because if you're slow to move over you can bet the courts will be chasing after people with fines.
Unity Selects Microsoft Azure as Cloud Partner
> 80,000 psi is pretty extreme in a rifle round. The high end of traditional brass case ammunition is 65,000 psi.

It is pretty extreme but I can't say I'm exactly surprised, metallurgy has clearly advanced quite a bit since the days when 556 NATO pressures in chamber were standardized 50+ years ago. If you have DoD budget levels of money to spend on a barrel you can clearly do higher.

Barrels that meet 556 NATO spec are as cheap per unit as $100, a really nice one is $300. If it's not a problem that your barrel alone might cost $700 I can see this being totally possible.
The "China Files" were a stunning example of misinformation and journalistic malpractice. Read through the leaked documents Axios released and corroborate with their editorialized conclusions. Absurd amounts of spin. Coincidentally, the editor of this propaganda is a notorious racist.
Node has such an easier ecosystem than python IMO. I really hope the move of ML from python to JS continues.
I wouldn't say so.

Restricting the sale or transfer of personal data to a foreign-held company that can and will obey foreign laws with regards to that data is, I think, perfectly fair.

The dances companies go through to appear local or non-local with shell companies is an abuse of the intent of many laws.

Microsoft/Google/Amazon/etc. probably can figure out how to operate in Europe to comply with the intent of the law, but it might require a rather large actual separation of interests rather than a shallow apparent one.
This is rich coming from America.

America engages at global level surveillance. American corporations can be coerced with a single national security level to spy on their customers. Ergo they are untrustworthy and should not be used.
Are you saying that because you have knowledge of Apple’s code?
Seconded for the same reasons you state.
Why should they? Europe signed free trade agreements and promised they would open their markets to the USA if the USA reciprocated. Excluding American companies from doing business seems a pretty big violation of this. I guess EU is free to cancel those free trade agreements, but they aren't free to just ignore them and just make it illegal for American companies to do business in Europe because of privacy rules that exclude American companies purely on the fact that they are American.
Perhaps "Tesla Autopilot" can be the first Marketing Lie to vanish from the list:

No, because Germany doesn't have that big of an IT space. Aerospace and automotive would be good sectors to hit back with because they are more relatively important to Germany as IT is for the US.
Many (if not the majority) of open source projects that are used to power the whole spectacle have originated in Europe and now have a majority of international contributors.

But the power centers (foundations etc.) are in the USA. International contributors are expected to bow to U.S. cultural dominance and follow the latest whims.

OSS has been stolen by the USA.
This is an important use case. I suppose according to these new rules, in the long run you'll be only allowed to use the government's mixer. Which would provide some anonymity at least until the logs are hacked or the service is privatized.
Got baited by the headline into thinking this would be an article about determenism and implementation of 'replay' functionality but this is interesting as well.

I personally like to think the most 'replayable' games are the ones that have deep emergent gameplay.

Eg. interactions between many different mechanics that when combined create unique/challenging/entertaining situations without being programmatically forced to occur.

Unfortunately capturing this is notoriously hard and (from my experiences) primarily out in multiplayer games since humans are generally unpredictable and tend to find interesting edge-cases in game mechanics.
If you don't like it then take your business elsewhere.
The website for X1 advertises "End free trials automatically with auto-expiring virtual cards" [0] - if that takes off, would services just start blocking folks from signing up for free trials with X1 cards? Is that a feasible thing to do, to say "yeah, we accept Visa, but not Visa cards issued by X1"? I feel like I've heard something slightly similar recently about Google Ad services blocking payments from virtual cards or other "weird" cards.

Yeah wondering about the consequences.

By this logic almost every non-EU Saas would be forbidden.

For sure Stripe is also not allowed, huge amount of customer data in US hands.
Nothing urgent! I wanted to email you a repost invite.
The context for this: say you're a SaaS and you want to tap into the EU market. Per GDPR, personally identifiable data shouldn't leave the jurisdiction of the EU so you should use EU hosted servers, storage etc.

So you might then split your app to an EU hosted datacenter of your preferred cloud provider.

This ruling says that's insufficient as while the data remains functionally in the EU it's still possible for it to be accessed on the backend by non EU entities.
You are thinking of accuracy in terms of precise shots in precise targets, but think of it from the perspective of being deterministic. If my rifle is accurate, and deterministic, then I know I can land shots effectively at 600 yards for example using simple calculations. Or 800. Being able to do that has enormous significance in the battlefield.
AFAIK, DMCA allows reverse engineering for compatibility purposes. IANAL, though.
You're ensuring that North Korea can buy stuff with their stolen money.

Well, you're going out of your way to make sure that North Korea can buy stuff with their stolen money, by letting them say that it's yours.
I'm torn. I think it's always good to show these - it certainly makes the subject more interesting!

At the same time, if one is to use algebra for future studies/work, one really needs to be able to manipulate those symbols in the abstract, without feeling a need for some deeper understanding. I can see teachers not wanting to deal with "But what does that really mean?" for every detail in algebra.
See my sibling comment for a counterargument. I do agree with the warnings though.
We could just stop having babies except deliberately to replace accidental deaths.

I’d you are immortal then why worry about not having children, over a long enough timeline eventually your turn in the queue will come.

But that’s just philosophical thought. In reality, we are too far away from even living to 200 years old to start worrying about what comes after that.
This is a Mormon-biased spin on the history.
> body armor defeat capability

The 6.8x51mm will not defeat any armor that M2AP won't. NIJ certified level IV armor will stop M2AP, 6.5 Creedmoor, .300 Win Mag, and in some cases, up to .338 Lapua Magnum. The last two are far more powerful, with greater velocity and sectional density, than 6.8x51mm, and they still won't reliably penetrate with a single hit.

Armor penetration was a stated goal of the Army's NGSW program, and the new cartridge will penetrate better than 5.56, but it's still not going to penetrate modern level IV armor.
What's node's GPU acceleration story?
American cloud companies spy on European citizens on behalf of American government. This is illegal under European law.
They're taking a hard stance on the on-selling of user data. Since they can't influence Washington to do the same, do they have any other option?

Given American companies have been, to put it most graciously, cavalier, with user data, and that we at the beginning of a revolution where user tracking in retail spaces becomes ubiquitous, is it fair to characterize this move as a profit-oriented one primarily?
All games use some form of OOP polymorphism until cache misses outpace code readability. Entity systems (think of C unions with enums for the type) fix most cache coherency performance issues [1].

On Bedrock chunks are just stored in a forked Google leveldb [2]. Working on Minecraft is a multiplatform backend database gig first and foremost. It's like working at AWS, but your customers are predominantly children, and their businesses are the worlds they create

It's still not entirely clear whether this means sites the user has not visited previously/frequently, or sites that users do not visit as frequently based on global traffic data. If the latter, it seems like a clear attempt to slow down and worsen the user experience on anything but the big players. I'm surprised that we haven't seen articles on this change mention the obvious problems with pushing users towards centralized sites.

I am not trying to downplay the killings. Obviously murder is wrong especially if you are doing it to continue terrible behavior.

The article doesn't make it clear if the amount of murders of journalists is increasing or not. Maybe by this time last year 15 journalists were killed for reporting on cartels and things are getting better. It is hard to take anything away other than some people were killed by cartels.

from the point of view of a ukrainian infantryman walking around right now with some newly issued 556 NATO stuff it might be interesting to see how many russians are really wearing the equivalent of class 4 plates/carrier, and how many are not wearing plates at all, or some lesser capability.

in some of the DIY-drone-strike footage I've seen recently it appears that the russians are wearing no plates at all.
I said devops not distribution. APE is build-once run-anywhere, i.e. you build once on Linux and run your binary on seven platforms. APE will stand to gain if a stronger consensus emerges about only doing coding on Linux/BSD. Then we can let Windows and Mac be more like modern teletypes that are great for ssh, browsing, and consumption. It wouldn't have been possible for me to achieve what I achieved had I focused on the traditional build-everywhere run-everywhere model. It feels liberating using one and only one toolchain, on one platform, using zero configure scripts. No operating system is beyond the reach of x86_64-pc-linux-gnu. This is the one true way for compiling code.

And slowly but surely the tidal wave of the consequences of GDPR versus the CLOUD Act come into view.

It will take many years to of delays and fretting (due to the dependence on US clouds) but fundamentally the current legal position is that GDPR is fundamentally incompatible with any personal data transfer to the USA, that's how Google Analytics keeps getting banned too.

At some point this will all come to a head and something will have to budge given the gigantic consequences of such a position, from AWS to GCP to Stripe to even basic things like your Domain Registrar.
