They still run i.reddit.com, which probably only has a tiny fraction even old.reddit.coms users. Also, I'm pretty sure that quite a few power users still use the old site and they probably want to keep them in. Someone has to buy gold and repost all the content, after all ;-)

If that were the standard then the entire public health apparatus in most countries would have been banned many months ago. Clearly it's not. You can spread as many lies as you want as long as it's in favor of vaccines and masks.

Anyway Berenson has been reliably ahead of the curve on this. He is FAR more accurate and trustworthy than governments have been. The tweet that got him banned said something like "It doesn't stop infection" and pointing out that because the vaccine only reduces symptoms without reducing infection, that makes it a therapeutic. Which is correct.
our state DOT has rented goats to clean the sides of roads along highways in some rural areas, especially when there are large amount of noxious weeds. The person they hire strings up a bunch of short fiberglass poles for a mile or two along the highway with some wires, puts out some water, and then lets the goats in. Comes back and picks them up a couple of days later, and moves them to the other side.
> Many Americans remain unaware of the spike in anti-Asian American racism and hate over the past year.

...yet on the same page the responses to "How has your opinion of Asian Americans, in general changed over the past 12 months?" overwhelmingly skew to "stayed the same" or "positive".

Maybe I'm missing something, but it certainly seems like they are trying to push a narrative that even their own data doesn't support.
The goal of any product oriented business is purchase through a point of sale. That is called a conversion. Dark patterns emerge when a seller attempts to influence the behavior of a purchaser beyond decisions most beneficial to the purchaser, which is not always intentional.

One example of dark pattern elimination occurs when steps in a purchase process are dramatically reduced. That reduction eliminates opportunities for messaging but increases the potential for transaction quantity.
Yeah exactly, it ignores the emotional reinforcement of buying somebody a gift, especially if it is their love language. My wife loves it when I buy her a new jotter and pen even though she could easily buy them herself.
English used to have this distinction using the words "yeah" and "yes" but the distinction in usage has disappeared.
For the same reason that being more aware of your personal spending, leads to better personal decisions. Out of sight, out of mind, is a recipe for less oversight and responsibility from decision makers.

Governmental spending can be a huge drag on the economy, and people may not realize just how much, unless they are personally confronted with the true scale of governmental intrusion. Many people today take it all as an unquestionable given, rather than as one choice among many.

It's a 1.2% overall improvement. That's the kind of number where it's worth doing in general, and worth using if it's been developed, but not nearly worth the development effort and headache for a wind farm operator trying to invent it on their own.

> Banning maths is fascist

What about banning chemistry and physics? If I fire a gun and the bullet hits someone I get arrested (and maybe even if it doesn't hit anyone if I am somewhere were shooting guns is not illegal), yet all I did was use some levers (physics) to add compress a spring adding potential energy to it (physics) which then got converted to kinetic energy (Hooke's law, more physics), which imparted energy to some chemicals starting a reaction (chemistry) that produced expanding gases that caused the bullet to rapidly leave the barrel of the gun, where it followed a ballistic trajectory (physics).

Or what about banning biology? Look closely at other animals sometimes. Things that in humans we'd call rape and murder and robbery are quite common. Millions of years of evolution have selected for animals that do those things. Humans too have the same propensity to do many of those same things, and would do so more often if they were not illegal. Just look at what happens when people find themselves in situations where those laws do not apply or where they have no chance of being punished, such as when a country successfully invades another country.

> Sad to see the EU bow down to the criminal racket that is the US financial system.

The EU in general is extremely hypocritical when it comes to privacy, its probably an opportunity to crack down on crypto while it's down.

You see all the laws that aim to put a stop to big tech, and rightly so because their government won't do anything.

In the same time, when privacy protections are against the EU itself, it suddenly doesn't work, or it needs monitoring like their horrible attempt using the chat control law, which even faces backlash from inside, like from Germany.
Knowing people like that would depend on your social circle.

Anyway, it's just an example to show how that number can be easily influenced by a small minority. The real numbers are going to be different.

I just recently started on a new project to get more into hardware. It's a version of Tetris that runs on an RP2040-based board, with a 32x64 RGB led matrix as display.

The core game logic is implemented as a function that gets called at 60Hz with user input and is responsible for producing the RGB buffer. Around that sits a little harness that takes care of grabbing inputs and sending the visual output to the display.

I've also written a separate version of the hosting harness for WASM & webgl. When working on the game proper it's just a faster turnaround to compile and test things in the browser. It'll also make it easy to get feedback from people since I can just point them to a URL. I already had most of this code lying around from a previous project so it didn't take much time to whip up the web frontend.

All of the code for the game logic and the two harnesses is in C++.
This is a problem with press coverage much more so than linguistics. As usual when they cover things they’re not familiar with, journalists often wildly exaggerate these claims to make them sound more interesting. By contrast, from what I’ve seen of the linguistic literature, actual linguists tend to be fairly measured in their assessments of languages, and generally support their arguments with evidence. For instance, we have more than enough evidence that Guugu Yimithirr really does only have absolute directions [0]; there are of course some subtleties in how they are applied, but either way it undoubtedly has no words corresponding to relative directions. This isn’t even too rare, either — e.g. many languages of Vanuatu are exactly the same [1]. Everett is the only case I can think of where there genuinely has been the sort of wild exaggeration more often found in the press. (Though even there, I suspect his critics have been looking rather more at the predictions of Chomskyan formal syntax than at what’s actually happening. It wouldn’t be the first time.)

It's interesting that the article doesn't mention the use of bitumen in early photography and photoengraving.

Bitumen hardens preferentially in areas that have been exposed to light.

The very first photographs ever made were done on bitumen-coated plates.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/View_from_the_Window_at_Le_Gra...

"Faster" coatings were soon developed for camera use, but bitumen continued to be used to make photographically-reproduced printing plates for quite a long time (in that application, a long exposure time is not as critical, and may even be advantageous).
This is a very interesting work, but I want to see some discussion on it because I am not much proficient in the field.
He worked at the New York Times for years, but he's a "reflexively contrarian troll". Sure, sure.

Berenson is far more accurate and truthful than the vast majority of people in official positions who were happy to knowingly lie about vaccines and COVID to generate compliance. Some of those people since admitted they were lying, in writing or on camera! It's no wonder Biden admin wanted him gone - anyone who points out that official claims about health are lies is a threat to the whole public health regime.
I really like this strategy. After one god awful experience at a company that led me to quitting after 3 months, I will not work for a company that doesn't show me a snippet of their own code. The whole experience at that terrible job could have been avoided if I could see their coding practices: early returns, gotos everywhere in C++, 7(!) different languages that compile into one >1GB executable over the course of an hour. They only did white boarding questions which told them a lot about me, but told me nothing about them.

I've had 4ish interviews since that job, and all of them gave an on-the-spot code reading assignment to walk through their code to find the bugs. It let me see who has old style coding standards, who takes advantage of modern C++ utilities, and that the interviewers are competent enough to walk through coding examples, too.

What "crypto people" are claiming Git is a blockchain?

All the wind turbines in any given windfarm come from the same manufacture, and they all have monitoring and control from the utility's main offices in whatever city (at the very least they have enough control to prevent damage when the weather gets bad, I don't know what else they can do). As such all that is needed is a software update from the manufacture to give the central office more control.

The utility might own wind turbines from different manufactures, but they are not in the same wind farm. I suppose there might be places where two wind farms border each other that you want different devices, but for the most part you can optimize each wind farm individually with no need to worry about manufactures.
Everyone keeps mentioning how "it's why criminals use cash, so there's no point in banning this, as they'll just resort to using cash." But they must fail to notice that various governments of the world are trying to implement a trackable digital currency to replace cash. They don't even like cash either.

Hum... Issue trackers are dedicated tools for software issues, bugs, design issues etc to be more precise, I doubt they can be really useful for casual users. Ubuntu LaunchPad have tried that "a bit" with the mostly disable automated reported tool and it does not have worked well.

Forums works mostly well but have two kind of important issues:

- for the user they normally need an account, one in nth, with a registration process and an easy push to "extended SSO" services like "sign-in with $GAFAM_name";

- for the project side they need resources and efforts.

Long story short: ** we damn need Usenet **: for the user it's just a local application, locally searchable for saved contents at least, so the "available records" is fair being potentially be for anyone involved, subscribing a group does not require new accounts, tools, different UIs etc. For the project there is very little to maintain.

Or: just think what we have, because usenet is still there even if almost abandoned, and what we lost choosing to "mock-solve" forums issues with proprietary platforms from Reddit to semi-proprietary ones like Discourse. All for what? A damn WebUI full of JS crap?

If you can, FOSS/ federated. Remember when reddit users covered the cost of reddit server time with donations? It can be done.
I have not tested this app. Does it give the person running it a clear explanation of all the potentially positive and negative ramifications of the changes? If not then I think that should be a high severity enhancement. Maybe that could even be a discussion thread in and of itself here on HN giving feedback to the developer what could go wrong with each change. e.g. functionality breakage, security impact, auditing impact and so on.
How moronic would it be, when the actual solution, renewable energy sources, are not even discussed?

Choosing nuclear energy bears the same moronic behavior. It's unsustainable and, compared to coal, we have much less options handling it's waste on a much larger time scale.
"Not beeing able to handle the waste" is the same problem category and nobody cares. This is not just short-sightedness, it's also a propagandistic master piece.

Decades of a lacking energy transition plan and now, when the situation gets more dire, the debate goes between non-solution A and non-solution B. But at least we have status quo going for _us_.

I think it's good to remind people that malware happens outside of windows. And yeah it is a single temporary file, and apparently only works on debian based systems and maybe other systems that have wget and cpulimit pre-installed. Doesn't seem like they really tried too hard.

edit:
They could have written the malware in python, and after decoding it run it with eval, done right it would even be cross platform. Now I'm wondering how well i could hide something like this. I gotta stop before I get swept up and start adding easter eggs.

Probably both, it is a top research university in the world, with a lot of smart people and funding. Also note the "T" in MIT stands for technology, they do tend to focus a bit more on practical applications and not just theoretical knowledge.
> But I don't think they would flat-out lie about the charges being brought.

I dunno, there's a pretty big trend going on right now of producing tv shows / prodcasts about how ineffective (with a strong hint of incompentence) cops can be.
So we're all suppose to become techno-anarchists? HN has a great balance of both, it's just mostly the crypto-obsessed that decry government encroachment because they're still struggling to find a useful purpose for the technology before they get regulated.

The software engineering profession is moving at light speed compared to any of those other careers. It is specific to us and not engineering as a whole too - as you point out, structural engineering does have qualifications required (chartered status).

Medicine does move on, but a lot of what a doctor needs to do doesn't. And the bits that do are actually a problem with there not being a good way of ensuring that doctors use up to date techniques.

The difference is that structural engineers and doctors are safeguarding safety, and (most) software engineers aren't. If someone suggested people should need chartered status to work on medical device software I don't think that would be as controversial, and will get progressively less so as the discipline is less brand new and progress slows down a bit.
It feels like it was better, but I think the redesign and to push towards the mobile apps have changed the content. 10 years ago you came for the comments and discussions. The doom scrolling they're currently focused on seems to detract from that interaction. It hard to even be allowed to view all comments, most seems to be hidden away.

Facebook went in much the same direction. Rather than focusing on interactions between people the focus shifted to just keep people scrolling and reducing interactions to easier "Like", "Hate", "Love", share, anything that could be conveyed using a screen tab, rather than a full keyboard.

My theory: Interaction and the quality of the content on a site goes down, way down, when the primary users switch from desktops to phones.

Here's a piece I wrote based on that book:

Think of your life as a sailboat.

The hull protects us from the waves and keeps us safe.

The sail allows us to explore and adapt to our environment.

However, to get anywhere, we must open our sail to the world. Without that, we're stuck in harbor.

As we set out in the world in the many different directions we each may take in life. We are all sailing into the unknown of the sea together.

So while a ship in harbor is safe, that's not what ships are built for.

Even though you're alone in your boat, it's nice to see other lights along the way.

I've said in another comment I've participated in the scam, 5 years ago, I'll take my gains and walk. Back then I was under the impression that there would be some sort of killer app by now. There isn't and never will be. I've identified the scam, it's all pump and dump and an inflation sink.
This is hilarious. The author even explains the law concerning such streams:

Yeah I agree, but since the whole essay is pretty much a sales pitch for their product, that's to be expected.

Also first-stage dropper are almost always heavyly obfuscated to avoid detection. There isn't anything novel about this and the second-stage malware actually has reasonable detection rates.
