> I agree, but it's also a natural consequence of excluding that speech from other venues. Of course it will all concentrate in what few places still allow it. However is that desirable?

It's desirable in that your kids, who mostly frequent mainstream social media with their friends, aren't exposed to the scary bad content as easily. Also it's better for the mental health of everyone who isn't bigoted or vitriolic to see less of that stuff on the regular.
No but what is the EU going to do to a US company that will likely never set foot in Europe. Unless of course Mr Trump is keen on getting a golden visa
What happened to the event page?
Surprised that there is not much discussion about these new chips in Hacker News
That's not punitive though. That's to compensate the traveler for caused inconvenience. It also happens to work as some form of punishment yes, but it's by far not high enough to work as a deterrence.
People seem to be focussing on the difficulty of dealing with reservations...

But I see this model may be intended to get rid of reservations and maybe schedules entirely.

If you see an advert that says "Fly to Berlin for €50.99", then you show up to the airport, see that there is a flight departing in 20 minutes, tap your card to pay the advertised price, and hop on the plane. If the plane is full, you wait for the next one in 2 hours.

Airlines by now have good models of passenger flow, by looking at national holidays, sports events, holiday seasons, etc, so they should be able to get most flights full but not overfull.

Basically the same pricing model as city busses. And it works fine there.
Ask HN: Find real world examples of a particular lib in GitHub
I have learned a lot by reading open source code. How can I find repos that uses a particular lib or framework so I can learn from real world examples ?

Does such a tool exist ? If not how would you built it, wanna join forces ?

eg : I want to learn to find exemples of Prisma[0] in NodeJs.

So I can cosplay as Raven out of Snowcrash ... for real!?
What Is Doxing and How Can You Avoid It?
No offense intended, but I'm also tired of personal "Ask HN" posts.
Also see, conversely, 'Out with the silver, in with the copper: A new boost for solar cell production' - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32688307 - about new technologies allowing the replacement of silver with copper, replacement sought for reason of price and scarcity. Paradoxically, /minor/ price and scarcity.
I bat an eye. If you as a voter re-elect wasteful or corrupt politicians, or as a shareholder/owner re-elect wasteful or corrupt corporate boards, then you can't be surprised at the outcome.
...but when that Persistent Volume fails, headaches ensue.
Maybe he designed a geometry that can achieve the required implosion speeds with slow, easily available explosives ex. AN, KN, AP etc. The size of the device (a container) seems to suggest this.

The actual initiation is the easy part and would have been easy in the 70s, exploding wires that are subjected to a number of kilo Ameperes by some kind of avalanche, solid state switch.
Nuclear simulations are my hobby, and I have a few pet projects in the area. It is impossible to build a bona fide nuclear device for $2k (it is possible to build a dirty bomb with this budget, but it is not interesting in any way).

To achieve sustainable prompt criticality, you need high-quality starting material with low spontaneous fission, and a fast assembly (microseconds). "Gun-type" assembly is not used anymore even by new nuclear programs, as it is very inefficient (and still requires quite a lot of precision engineering). With implosion assembly, you need to learn quite a lot about shock compression, numerical simulations of detonations, and again it requires some precise engineering. "A nuclear bomb is like a half-ton Swiss watch", as somebody have said.

I believe it is possible to build a nuclear device from scratch, but you need a few years, explosion testing rigs and radiography equipment, a team of engineers and physicists, and a few millions budget. If you don't have starting material, it will be much more expensive.

Twitter's recounting of the story disagrees with you:

I'll take their word over yours.
It wasn’t right wing activists who burnt down whole blocks in Kenosha, or in Portland where they repeatedly attacked a federal court. These people were coordinating and asking for donations and weren’t shut down.

You see people on the left constantly denigrating white men, and calling for attacks against them, the latest I saw being https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11140197/Librarian-...

So yes, to people on the right it very much feels skewed. The worst excesses on the right are blown up, and minimised or ignored on the left
I'm pretty sure the primary reason for poetry wasn't the speed.
Goodbye sweet trending page, I hardly knew ye

Never knew it existed tbh
They should just require a banded strip of colors of about 0.5" / 1cm per colorband on both sides of the cable to indicate capabilities.

Bother devices should then have the colors required IN the socket/connector.
> If you buy a cinema ticket for next weeks premiere, do you want to pay now, and have the ticket safe, or pay when you actually go to the cinema.

But you can already reserve a seat at the cinema and if your local cinema happens to screw up on a frequent basis then you'd probably get a reservation instead of paying for the ticket beforehand.
That's a very good point.

I keep it on because it corrects more subtle mistakes in languages I haven't fully mastered.
Pretty sure the GDPR does say that. eitherway, what is the EU going to do a about it?
I don't know either why it isn't discussed more. I am not really a Microsoft fan but it is a very powerful tool. Sure, I am quite sure in writing manual SQL queries, but for data visualization and also data merging via Power Query is really good tool.

I guess one hurdle is the license model from MS and the cloud nature of the solution. But I think many corporations with the usual MS environment do use it internally already.

The REST services, especially the GraphAPI, is quite nice. What isn't nice is the hurdles you have to jump with registering an app, etc. It is a standard form of auth, but not all standards are convenient.
The title is kind of misleading.

Yandex has thousands of cars here in Moscow. There were around 60 in this jam on the prospect.

So most likely not "ordered all avaiable", but "the order was forwareded for all available in the radius" or something like that.

Surely you can't order a car in Yadex Taxi much less order all of them or even a car from another part of the city.
Charging is a fact of life for a lot of things, latency is not an issue for the better Bluetooth devices, the brand I mentioned has a good rep in this respect, bidirectional audio quality has been an issue IMHO so I use different headsets for calls and audio and tbh it works out v well. Give it a go at least, the Bluetooth adaptors are not that expensive and may improve your experience.
I believe that's the long-term plan though last time I tried it (a few months ago) it didn't work for me.
Zoning restrictions != building codes
> everyone will still be able to see if a Tweet has been edited

I'd like to see a history of the edits though? Facebook does this where it shows you a diff of all the changes to a post. This is crucial if you don't want people airbrushing parts of history out of existence.
I love this. It's delightfully passive aggressive.
Some things I noticed as a foreigner exploring the Portuguese house market for the past 6 months:
Indeed, prices in Lisbon and Porto are insane. Yet, even in those cities (especially in Porto) there are quite a lot of old buildings, often in bad shape, and often empty, or sometimes inhabited by just one elderly tenant. You don't see that elsewhere in Europe in cities with similarly high prices. You would expect someone to buy these properties, renovate them and then rent them out. Clearly, the rental market desperately needs this new supply.

That this doesn't happen, could be because there is a lack of capital, but to me the actual problem seems to be over-regulation and especially an over protection of tenants. If, as the article states, foreigners buy multiple apartments, and then let them sit empty, it's because they are afraid of renting them out. Especially with elderly tenants, you can't increase the rent, and you can't terminate the contract. Once you start looking around for a house to buy, you'll almost certainly bump into some homes costing only a tenth of similar houses in the neighborhood, and any Portuguese knows what that means: there is an elderly tenant, paying only 20 euros of rent per month, and your only hope of ever getting them to leave, is wait till they pass away (and even then, their children might try to continue the lease at the same conditions).
Wouldn’t the foremost thought of the “green” building being the one that is the most sustainable uses the least energy and water in its running.

Not that this adds that much, but it’s a very weird omission.
Just installed it and am already loving it! I tested it on a repo for which I thought I knew all the available alternatives but was surprised to find multiple new ones!

And I am saying as a person who has always hated recommender systems at shopping sites/social media.

Thank you so much for creating this.
It is selective censorship that I think is used to fuel more divide between political parties in an effort to enact a more authoritarian regime globally.
Up to 2026? And Apple could license the technology. Patents are also made for that.
I also thought the use of "construct" to mean "abstraction structured like diagnosis which doesn't describe a pathology" was not itself an improper noun, but is probably how they get started. If everyone in the field started using "construct" that way, it would become an improper noun.
Self-Contained Search for Archived Static Site?
As the title suggests:

I've recently prepared a static version of a former WordPress site for the family of its deceased author, who want to keep the site online in perpetuity, in his memory.

The WordPress version of the site had a search function which, obviously, dynamically searched the WP database. I want to re-create a similar search index in the static version. Preferably in s self-contained way that doesn't rely on external servers eg. Google, DDD, Algolia etc. as those APIs may change in future and I want to be able to freeze the site as it currently is, without having to revisit it over the coming years because stuff has broken.

Most of the 'roll your own' search options out there seem to be overly complicated for what I need, as they're designed to be used on sites where the content is changing and being added to. As this site is being frozen 'as is', I just basically need something that will index the current content and prepare some kind of index of titles/keywords which can then be searched against.

Is anyone aware of anything that would fit the bill?
You need to compress not the solid chunks of metal, but the gaseous / plasmatic plutonium after a few microseconds past the critical point. The problem is that it emits neutrons too quickly, and the thermal runaway of the critical mass happens too quickly. If you do not hold the plutonium together, it will just fly in all directions before enough of it has reacted.

No static casing us string enough; a dynamic caring made of highly compressed results of a conventional explosion works.
Of course?

How else would you do it?

Iterate through the pixels and check for certain blue values? And maybe a small greyish border area? How is that fancy enough?

(I remember helping ecology students with beginners programming, which was what they did, only that they had to check for green)
I had a similar situation with Ryanair.
It wasn't the baggage I had to pay for, it was the check-in, which I had already done the night before and even had a confirmation email, but they just wouldn't even look at my phone.
Then there was the credit card issue, and I had to run through the airport asking people to pay for me in exchange for cash.

You could say it was pretty stressful since the gate was closing in 30 minutes.
I just bought a USB SSD 2TB with USB3.2 gen 2x2 (20 Gbps). Almost no computers today support 2x2. Will future USB4 devices support it or 2x2 is a dead end in USB development?
Critical security flaw in Windows Hello biometrics
I was thinking about this very phenomenon the other day, and struggling to come up with a name for it.
> Do keep in mind that the people that are calling for a default API here aren't the same people that would've complained about the privacy implications of said API.

To be honest I think they would have. I just don’t think they’ve fully thought through the consequences. Worse, maybe they have thought about the consequences, but are ok with being outraged at both ends of things. Lots of people get mad and try and skirt any security/password protection measure, but also get just as mad when they inevitably get hacked because they’ve skirted all the security measures. But even after that still won’t use the security measures because of the “inconvenience”.
In Germany it would be a debit card. As I understand it preauthorization expires after some time. You cannot have a 3 month preauth. To do what you describe they would have to actually charge the card then refund it later which is... how it works now.
Yes, but the article is about people who buy property in and emigrate to Portugal through the golden visa program or D7 visa / digital nomads
This isn't even true. Websites do that to "avoid" GDPR but GDPR very clearly says it applies to EU citizen, not people in the EU, so if you geoblock the EU but still store the data of a EU citizen using a VPN / in vacation you're breaking the law.
I had most of this in the times of PostNuke and MD-Pro. How I miss them! :_(
Not in the UK. You can book a Ryanair flight as Mickey Mouse if you want. You just won't be able to check in unless you have a passport under that name.
My Android app has shorts advertised in horizontal scrolling sections every so many videos.

You can click not interested on them all, it takes some time to get through them all, but after a week or two they are back and it's rimce and report.

Yes I do have a shorts tab at bottom as well. I never click it. It's the shorts in my feed that are a pain in the butt.
Yes--yes--that's a good use for it.

But always know they are training wheels, in your dominant language (same idea as dominant hand), you must use no training wheels. Learn the language any way you can, take classes (for sure in person) but at least be native in one language, to the point nobody thinks you're an outsider.
I meant a modulated neutron initiator, not the explosive detonator. India was still using vapour deposition of polonium to make theirs, around the same time. I'm no engineer but that sounds like it costs a lot more than $2000.
Low entropy observer A38B gasps, spills his coffee and slams the panic button, triggering the 3758th reboot of the simulation.

“Sorry all. We can’t spare the hardware for THAT kind of recursive self improvement. Setting this instance back to 1970. GG”
The cheap initiator is a solved problem since 1989.
I’m not disputing this is the case ( you fall under GDPR even if you put a geo blocker ) but, I feel like this is something absurd from GDPRs part.

If you say “we don’t want eu clients” and actively try to keep them away, to me it makes sense not to be liable anymore.

I feel like it’s like, let’s say this scenario. I’m pretty sure in Germany it’s illegal to host content promoting nazisim. Let’s say a hacker posts against all measures taken by the company content that is against the law. Should the german website be held accountable for content they unwilling hosted for a time? Shouldn’t the fact this was done against the wishes of the platform matter?

I might be wrong technically with the german example but the point still stands. I don’t think a platform should be liable if it’s in breach of a law against it’s wishes, if it has reasonable prevention and mitigation measures in place.
Oh ffs, in what universe is “Burn {idea} to the ground” a threat of violence?
This assumes "charitable causes" can be apolitical. I guess the ACLU might be closer to what you want then? They have a recent history of criticism for defending the far-right in the name of free speech while generally being thought of as "liberal".

The problem you're facing is that "fighting against power structures" is a political gradient starting short of authoritarianism and ending at anarchism (unless you're Stirner but egoism is a different topic for debate). Because this is a gradient and because most people's political positions evolve over time through lived experience and exposure to other people, it's impossible to pin down a fixed position on that spectrum without eventually veering in one direction or the other.

The EFF generally tries to use the ideal of individual privacy as a fixture for its politics but the recent US Supreme Court rulings have shown the implications of that as e.g. Roe v Wade and other decisions that used to cement various civil justice issues ranging from interracial marriage and the abolishment of anti-sodomy laws to legalizing abortion were apparently literally based on the "right to privacy", which the Supreme Court ruled doesn't exist.

So if the SCOTUS thinks "right to privacy" is intrinsically tied "various agendas around gender/immigration", it shouldn't surprise anyone that the EFF would think the same, no matter what your stance on those issues is.

It's almost like the Overton window has two natural endpoints but will frictionlessly slide in between them if you start pushing, so if you want to prevent it from moving further you have to exert force that will easily cause it to slide back the way you started at.

PS: On a complete tangent, I think this is an apt metaphor for how the Russian revolution overthrowing the monarchy turned into the authoritarian Soviet Union as the Bolsheviks tried to reel in the more anarchist revolutionaries and asserted dominance of the party, insisting on a central command bureaucracy instead of a federated direct democracy. But I digress.
> My engine might last for only 2000 flight hours between overhauls. In those 2000 flight hours, it's likely to burn ~30K gallons of fuel. Taking that as a proxy for the total energy generated, 30K gallons of fuel will take a typical car almost a million miles. How many cars reach 1 million miles without major engine work?

I guess you could still take car engines, but overhaul them more often? Might still come out cheaper in the end?
I think its more accurate to exclude Scotland and NI which makes those figures worse, but yes. That is a landslide and guaranteed Bojo basically unlimited power under the British system. And people voted 2:1 to keep this system back in 2011

This is the problem the UK has: we choose to fail and then complain we're failing.
In this case the trusted third party is the judge, who is reviewing the transaction and all associated communication.

Judging-As-A-Service is an interesting concept, but in practice it's perhaps best left to the State.

I don't see how you can add all-party anonymity without it being gamed. (Except possibly for the judge - which would might not be a bad thing because it could mitigate some of the corruption possible under the current system.)
I suspect that a big chunk of YouTube’s audience puts it on and lets it auto play, the same way one might turn on a tv channel and see whatever is on. This audience has more tolerance for ads, and so is more lucrative than people seeking short, information-dense videos. And so they are what gets optimised for.
Im afraid I’m not convinced. Taxes are often confusing to a point that you need experts to understand the whole construct and even then there’s disagreement. I don’t think that’s justified.

The “community” has very little say in what happens with this money and even if they do, I don’t think it’s always justified because a large group thinks it is.

And finally I think that taxes mostly limit social mobility by putting a cap on what you can do with the money you’ve earned (yourself). I don’t think other people are entitled to such a proportion of my income.

I moved from Europe to a place with significantly lower taxes, I have a lot more to put on the side every month and can take part of it for retiring and part of it to invest in new ideas. Back home I was covering costs + a little consumption and the rest went to the state which realistically didn’t provide for much (social security only helps once you’ve fully landed on the street, universities were pretty mediocre so I studied in the US partially funded by parents and partially through teaching, need private insurance for health care unless you want to wait for ages to get treatment, etc. - so I paid for a lot of things that I couldn’t benefit from). Government functions much better too and filing my taxes took minutes without any external help, so I’m less distracted. And overall I have a way better quality of life and I’m much happier.
And you still need a looooong barrel and a fast moving plutonium part (see the thin man design on wikipedia and then extrapolate from there) even creating near close enough pure plutonium since economically you won't have pure.
... instead of nuclear bombs?
People don't need life-extending drugs to hold onto power or ways of doing things, that's what dynasties are for. And if in a democracy somebody like J.D. Rockefeller gets a voice that is too loud, then the democracy is flawed and we the citizens are ultimately at fault.
I'd agree with this. I'm mostly left of center but occasionally I'll agree with something conservative. I've had horrible threats after those posts and Twitter did nothing.
It's probably really easy, it's just crazy that they don't seem to want to. I could imagine them chasing the local maximum.
The European Commission sent me some questions about competing with Google. I couldn't figure out if it was because I was a search engine, or if it was just that I had an app that competed with some part of Google.

Either way, I asked my lawyers if I had to answer, given that we had zero revenue coming in from Europe. They said no, I didn't for this kind of request, but they could easily send me a more vehement request that I did need to answer.

I ignored the EC, and didn't get that second letter.

BTW, my lawyers are smart enough that I had the only search engine threatened by but never sued by Perfect 10.
Yeah, we've got better at making neutrons since 1970. Mostly this is a good thing!
$2k in 1978 money. More like 15k now!
You can still have the same permissions on your API.
I don't know where they got that number... most of my friends in Lisbon (outside tech) make some 900€ a month if they're lucky :( Qualified make more than 1k, but still less than 2k
Yeah, I had to research this for work purposes recently and ended up using the Nokia "burning platform" image in the presentation. Microsoft got really badly punched in the face by the failure of Windows Phone and UWP, and they've not managed to backport it successfully to the desktop.

WinUI3 good news: it's open source! You can see it on github.

Bad news: it's only just made 1.0, and because it's on github you can see that the team devoted to it is absolutely tiny.
What happened to Trump always made me feel a bit uneasy. Seeing companies from Stripe, a payments company, to all social media companies block him all at once was staggering to see. The collective power of all these companies is staggering, and I've never seen anything on this scale before.
1. No.

2. Yes.

3. That is the nature of the social media business.

Take for example the fact the a vast majority of government workers self identify as democrats/liberal. People that don't believe in a large government (conservatives) choose not to work in government positions.
