Ugh another “think-piece”. Can’t wait for these to be generated automatically so we can move on to the next thing.

Literally no point here other than “vague broad unexpected content thing is coming” and look at all these “AI generated pictures” and random pieces of evidence.

Dumb humans will always get caught up in a web of bullshit and fakery because they always have. One could argue that it isn’t the first time someone or something has hacked people’s minds. Ideologies, religions, technologies have been used countless times by smarter humans to trick dumber humans into giving their shit away. And plenty of smart humans have also always stayed relatively quiet and out of sight knowing better than to make themselves into targets. The internet only reflects those dynamics. The only thing that is changing is that various areas of interest are becoming populated and settled “online”.

It all depends on what a given chunk of “internet” is used for, who populates it, and how much they spend on things they get there.
"Visualized" by using a good photo taken with modern camera and degrading it in theoretical ways without ANY experience with original technology and its limitations.

"Methodology: To visualize evolution of tech we reviewed some data and compiled some list"

That doesnt describe methodology, that describes them making a list of phones to fake :/

The only aspects they cared to fake were resolution and light sensitivity, with some arbitrarily added ridiculous blur to selected models? This sort of stuff is imo harmful. Whats the point? To get good SEO in google by making article that is a list and comparison and seemingly contains original (albeit garbage) content?
What a beautiful way to describe being present.

There's a quote widely attributed to Laozi, author of the Tao Te Ching

If you are at peace you are living in the present.
I had similar problems with C++

importing stdio printf gives almost no added binary size

importing iostream cout << adds like 5mb to the final .wasm file from what I remember. I asked around and apparently it pulls a whole sort of random stuff into your binary like internationalisation and currency conversion (dots vs commas)

Your native binaries do that as well, you just don't notice. Unless the compiler can offload some of these things to the OS-specific libraries
Where, with a landmass the size of the US, in the world is it done better than in the US?

If the crusaders on this mission want to carve up SF/Seattle/Portland/DC/NYC to build whatever it is you think is better, please do. Good luck. You can't even build housing in SF, but go ahead. Redesign the cities to be whatever you want.

I'm completely done with cities and I'm not alone, never again to return. Even 78 people per square mile, where I am now, is slightly too many. Once the kids are done with school I'll reassess, and probably move even further out.
One difference between Google and Brave is that Brave has privacy as its selling point to users. If they compromise on that, then they will become less attractive to users. As such, they are much better aligned with users when it comes to privacy. I would say that actually is a structural reason.

Heroku's got effectively the same and with review apps it's a great experience.

Heroku was early in the integration to GitHub. It was surprising to see how many apps were "broken" and "unable to deploy" with the security incident a bit ago because they did know how to git push they'd only connected their apps to GitHub.

I have just recently deployed a small Rails project on Render and I really like it so far. Good docs, great UI.
Render is great but doesn’t offer a long-term usable free tier for database-backed projects.

However, if you’re looking to move a project that costs you money off Heroku, you’re likely to be quite happy with the price-performance ratio that Render offers. I certainly am.

I don't know about beautiful, but I just came up with this small NFA matcher for the same problem:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

int match(char* regex, char* text) {
int n = strlen(regex);
char* active = calloc(n + 1, 1);
char* next_active = calloc(n + 1, 1);
active[0] = 1;
int found = 0;
int anchor = regex[0] == '^';
regex += anchor;
do {
for (int i = 0; i <= n; i++) {
if (!active[i])
continue;
if (regex[i] == '\0') {
found = 1;
goto DONE;
} else if (regex[i + 1] == '*') {
next_active[i + 2] = 1;
if (regex[i] == '.' || regex[i] == *text)
next_active[i] = 1;
} else if (regex[i] == '$' && regex[i + 1] == '\0') {
found = *text == '\0';
goto DONE;
} else {
next_active[i + 1] = regex[i] == *text;
}
}
char* tmp = next_active;
next_active = active;
active = tmp;
active[0] = !anchor;
memset(next_active, 0, n + 1);
} while (*text++ != '\0');
DONE:;
free(active);
free(next_active);
return found;
}
Absolutely. It seems strange to lock yourself into a metal box for 2 hours every day as you move back and forth between the same two destinations 220 times per year, not getting anywhere in the process. I also hope this has been a wake up call for most people.

Furthermore, driving is a lot more expensive than people realize, somewhere on the order of nearly 15% of people's expenses! or more! it's not just gas, but maintenance, parking, insurance, registration, smog, and that doesn't even count all the externalized costs.

Worth a quick (hilarious) read of the text of Deteriorata ;) https://web.archive.org/web/20150511234144/http://www.joke-a...
Article appears not to mention the USPS IMb, nor its predecessors:

I only recently learned it can encode a specific mailbox:

(I was trying to figure out how a letter got delivered to an address in GA when the handwritten address was for somewhere in WA. Somehow the barcode did not match the handwritten address at all. It got delivered to the address specified in the bar code - https://ibb.co/Y04q78V)

Who is proposing that it's a good idea to hassle the maintainer? Most of these interactions go awry when someone decides to be an asshole. The tone of the article which says "fuck off" demonstrates the interpersonal impulses at play here.

Does anyone have a solution for when the spider or backend content aggregator gets its IP address blacklisted?

I think that Facebook got around this back in the day by having the user's device do the initial scraping. A side effect of this is that sometimes I'd post an article I found, but the preview image was blank because I submitted it too quickly or something.

Until we have a free publicly downloadable cache of all websites, similar to CoralCDN (is this defunct?), then building our own search engines is probably a nonstarter.

This is probably what you mean, but I imagine it's just a lack of negative evolutionary reinforcement of behaviours cause those behaviours to proliferate.

That being said, I'm convinced we continue to deeply underestimate the intelligence and competence of numerous species, even today when we like to talk about how ridiculously smart dolphins and whales and dogs and birds and primates etc... are.

I remember thinking, "I will be that dad who does not underestimate my kids capabilities. I won't hold them back." And my 5yo is still absolutely blowing me away with his ability to build complex redstone machines in Minecraft. I think humans are just really good at underestimating competence.
What might an open source db look like? It should be publicly readable and forkable at any time, but write access still would be restricted to maintainers. Honestly being able to store your data in git (if it's simple enough) would be a godsend, but I don't see any actual concrete alternatives. Hosting a DB isn't viable.

Another commenter mentioned Wikipedia which is a great model. Importantly, they have both i) automated data-dumps which can be downloaded at any time. ii) an open source platform, which is kind of outside of the scope of the point of just open-source data.

One could imagine a "WikiCalories" site which has all the info that MyFitnessPal did.
As someone who made their first ever deploy on free Heroku, and realized server-software development was a doable and not expensive thing, this is a sad day indeed. Maybe online tutorials will use alternatives to Heroku, or maybe they'll suggest self-hosting your website in the future? Time will tell. End of a (web development) era for sure.
Yeah, came here to say the same thing after reading the article. Massive omission of Japanese camera phones.
I'm not sure what you're getting at. Properly configured https verifies the certificate's CA signature. Now it's true that that's only as secure as the web of trust that is the certificate authority system, but that's a whole other ball of wax. Smtp with TLS just doesn't check, except perhaps this new REQUIRETLS if implemented with all that extra configuration. For most of the smtp TLS already in use out there, it doesn't care if it's a CA signed cert or a self-signed cert. It's not verifying anything about identity.

With ssh it is trust on first use by default, so you kind of have a point with that, but:

1. Ssh then remembers that host key and alerts if it changes to protect against MITM of future connections, whereas smtp over TLS just... doesn't check as far as I'm aware.

2. Ssh implemented certificates a while back using an ssh certificate authority, and thus can work more like https where host key signatures are pre-trusted, or can even issue temporary credentials through something like Vault.

These things are not the same.

Literally every individual claim in your message is trivially wrong.

1. The IRS is not involved, it's the department of state collecting these statistics.

2. Japan has been in and out of lockdowns since 2020 like most countries in the world, and nothing particularly changed in May 2021. If anything travel rules are laxer since then with most business travel and family visits being authorized again.

3. Your statistical claim that 15 months of no deaths (previous data: average 26 days between deaths, max 81 days) is plausible is beyond absurd. Please show your maths, I'm not going to spend time on my phone doing probability distributions for you at this point because you must be trolling.

I'm appalled that you're spending your time trying to convince strangers on the internet that my friend faked their death. Do you really have nothing better to do with your life than to shit on those who lost theirs?

This happened to my father’s boat a few weeks ago. He says four other boats were attacked on the same day but it was only recorded as a single incident — which he thinks is a conspiracy by the authorities so sailors aren’t scared off.

He says it is known that the problem is caused by an adult female, who has some “teenagers” who either take part or hang around observing.

His proposed solution is a 50 cal riffle to the brain of the adult female. IDK

I don't think we need that level of density to warrant public transit. Singapore has one of the best public transit systems in the world (highest customer satisfaction rate), at 1/5th the density of NYC.
I think the original idea behind the suburb is that you don't have to interact with anyone you don't want to interact with. A much nicer way of saying that is they are more efficient. Or at least that was the original intention. The layout of the subdivision is that maximizes the lawn space you get, for the amount of routing (e.g. traffic intersections) to whatever your destination was. And since driving is nominally the fastest way to get somewhere, the suburbs were how you were going to do it. It's like someone decided on the efficiency goal, and looked at what was the fastest means of transport, and derived from there.

Maybe you could say there might've been some redlining too – just put the folks you don't want to interact with in that subdivision over there –, but in all, the problem is that it ultimately becomes: only efficient at one thing, and that's getting to work and back home. And it got terrible even just for that because cars as a means of transport doesn't scale well with population. Then public transit becomes a hack to try to make it work. In the Bay Area and DC, you have highly efficient transit systems that are good for getting to downtown, and pretty much terrible at most other things. In both places, you still need cars for the last mile, when you're leaving "downtown." In the Bay Area, only the Mission District is truly walkable, of all the non-downtown neighborhoods it connects. So now there's car sharing at most of the BART stations. But at least we have them. Not sure if there are any for the Caltrain.
Replying to my own comment. My examples weren't the greatest as I was traveling while composing it.. I agree that my examples would not push a symmetric 1Gb connection to its limits.

I was trying more to make the point that folks were giving arbitrary examples like SSD speeds when there are other kinds of usage that have other limits or could potentially change with time.

If residential speeds only target the "average" case, that'll artificially slow advancement. Many places outside the US have much faster speeds than are available here and we should not invent reasons to slow the shift to faster access. At least it shifts the needle a little and puts additional pressure on the lazy ISPs that still offer 90s-era ADSL speeds.
That sounds very cool, and I hope you (and your customers!) are successful. Out of curiosity, did you find an existing market need for that, or it's a "build it and they will come" model?

Also, have you thought about partnering with commoncrawl.org? I could see that relationship benefiting both sides: they get fresher indices, you get access to the historical web snaps
Why does it matter?

You love seafood, so just literally run grep on the entire page and if it contains the word then include it as a correct.

In reality, you will miss a lot of real seafood pages because they don't really need to mention "seafood" and context matters, so what? Chances are that that one website where person randomly added "I love seafood" to the top of the page will be the only page that you've ever wanted to see anyway.

There's too much data for you to go through in entire life in any case, so why worry about it as long as you can get something that's good enough? You will never get best data, if it was possible, google would be giving you best data already.

How do I know? Well, looking up my real name shows where I grew up, what school I went to, graduated, and even which exam I scored 100 on...

We might be missing each other's points!

In suburbs, those stroads are essential to get people from place to place. IMO that "essential" ends at the edge of a city -- at high density, cars selfishly dominate public spaces, and actually detract from that environment's utility. It's a scalability problem; single occupancy cars can only move so much meat. Walking + biking + transit can move a lot more meat in a dense space.

I think a lot of people do want those suburban environments even today. I'm not sure many people want today's US city center environment that has been compromised by the car.
I'd chalk some of it up to VOIP being inherently more complex & less stable than old analog phone systems, and the rest most likely due to the agent messing with their mute button.

When I worked in call centers, a lot of us would toggle that mute very frequently while conversing with co-workers. Sometimes to help each other out, but mostly to complain about or make fun of callers. Quite a bit of jaded cynicism in that scene.

I've seen people bring up the idea of the covid vaccine reducing fertility many times, both in person and online. I've never seen any evidence. I think people on HN just get tired of seeing the same weird theory brought up with no evidence over and over again.

Look at this graph of births in South Korea:

https://www.statista.com/statistics/641595/south-korea-birth...

There's no difference in trajectory around when the covid vaccine was introduced. So I think we can safely say the declining birth rate is not due to the covid vaccine.
Yes, I personally agree with you. I worked a bit for one of those many years ago, and I'd say ignorance of security concepts were the biggest risks for security.
I always snicker at these "built for cars" screeds, as though the "cars" are empty self-serving machines that are fulfilling their own needs.

Every car has at least one person in it. That person is going shopping, going to work, socializing, etc., or servicing the needs of others - my plumber's van is essential so that he can fix my plumbing.

So no, places are not "built for cars" - they are built to satisfy human needs, and it turns out that cars are an excellent way to do that.

I have no idea if they are, and it doesn't matter -- KF's tendency to harass people who want them removed from private service providers is exceptionally well evidenced. They're proud of how much evidence there is!

The rest is another indirection: if I'm known to the establishment for harassment, then it makes perfect sense that they'd not want me around. There's no investigative aspect to this situation: KF's history of harassment is a matter of public record.

To be blunt: this is a ridiculous hill to die on. Boycotts are about as old as capitalism; the only thing that really distinguishes calls to boycott Cloudflare from any other boycott in history is how ridiculously trivial it would be for them to do the right thing.
