I don't understand why Cloudflare believes it is their responsibility to protect content that they admit to finding morally reprehensible when they are under no moral or legal obligation to do so.

It seems that Cloudflare believes that they are the only ones who can protect the websites hosting this content from being DDoS'd out of existence, and thus they are protecting their right to freedom of speech. But the owners of these websites can just use a different provider that is more aligned with their sense of morality, and Cloudflare doesn't need to protect websites that they morally disagree with.

DDoS-Guard still exists and I have no doubt they would be perfectly happy to protect websites like The Daily Stormer, 8chan, and KiwiFarms. They have shown themselves to be capable at mitigating large-scale DDoS attacks against the Russian government, so it's not like Cloudflare is the only place these websites can survive.

Cloudflare should only continue to provide services to websites like these if whatever they gain by having them as customers outweighs their moral disagreement with them. And I can't see how a few thousand dollars per year does that.
Hi HN, Ruurtjan from NsLookup.io here. AMA :)
Carmack did end up moving from Meta VR (although he still works there one day a week). I presume it is because he was not doing enough engineering work. I used to read all of his posts internally and he really did seem to be an amazing CTO.
I use PhotoSync on my iPhone to copy the original photos from iCloud to my Mac.

Then I have two 5TB LaCie Rugged drives that I just attach to the Mac. Finally, using ChronoSync to schedule copying contents from the Mac to both drives as mirrors.
"protect your right to say it" and "help you distribute copies of Mein Kampf" are two different actions.
Playing 5e semi-regularly and having tried PF2 I wouldn't really put those systems on same level.

5e is streamlined system, with simple bonuses and advantage/disadvantage. Where as PF2 is somewhat daunting with multi attack penalties and the huge number of various statuses and qualities. Somewhat annoyingly ending up in decision paralysis with some classes. Then again started with play testing, so it could have somewhat improved.
genuine question: why would someone want to live longer than the average?

Edit:
I ask because I personally don't see a reason to stay alive while people I love are dying, I don't see a reason to stay alive in an already fucked up planet, while we empty all the resources, etc. But you guys are so smart, intelligent and clever, why even bother.
you can do this with a custom built drone too for under $400 for just the drone. large props, high kv motors and your good to go. Mr Steele was flying at one of the everest base camps not long ago
Same, I absolutely love this extension. You can whitelist the websites you use frequently, and for everything else it's like a groundhog day every day.

The cookie banners can be super annoying sometimes, but they are easily removed with uBlock Origin. I also frequently have to solve captchas, but it's not so bad. For example, every time I visit amazon.com to order toilet paper or whatever, it thinks I'm a bot, but at least amazon's captchas are less annoying than some of the others.
Apple does this with their developer videos as well. Very few videos from before WWDC2015 are available (some from 2014 are, but not all of theme). I think they might still be on the server if you have the right URL, but otherwise they are inaccessible. It’s a shame because a lot of the information is still valid, even if the example code is in Obj-C. For example Apple demoed how to implement very cool, very custom CollectionView and UIKit Dynamics behaviors in some of those older videos and now it’s just gone.

Edit: And they no longer update their documentation archive. At least it’s still available, there are a lot of very in-depth programming guides in there with information that is still 100% valid but not available on the normal documentation website.
I would say when it breaks a specific law. And if its that serious, get the police and feds involved, not some board members of some hosting company.
Yes, and?

Americans know our country is shitty.

One of the top stories on hacker news RIGHT NOW is about how the life expectancy is plummeting because we’re all fat and addicted to something while being trapped in a shitty health care system.

Chinese get so goddamned butthurt and defensive it is like they are mentally ill battered wives defending their abuser.
Two people I worked with, left and ended up landing a $150/hr consulting gig for the last 4 months. Neither had more than 6 yers of professional developer experience but they are AWESOME devs. 100% remote. They were just informed their contracts were extended for 12 months. Each are approved for 40-50 hours per week. Current project: MEAN stack. Next project looks like MERN or JAVA. Large company primarily in/around healthcare related services.
I think it's 'an issue' but not the major issue, except where it's 'acute'. A lot of couples are not getting married these days, which is 'something' but not like a disaster but in extremely impoverished/violeng ghetto areas you see well over 50% of kids not having any meaningful relationship with their Fathers. Now that is a 'primary' issue but it's also tied to incarceration, violence etc..

Definitely ultra violence (related to universal gun access), lack of healthcare, excessive inequality in some areas, obesity etc. are big factors.

I'm not sure if the most recent post-COVID data is hugely helpful because America did 'not very well' on that one despite having vaccines available. I mean, that's a whole other level of sad. But give it 3 years to see where the data sits without the 'COVID' blip.
"The state-of-the-art method of actuarial science is used to estimate the expected number of all-cause deaths in 2020 to 2022, if there had been no pandemic."

They shall be asked how many people are expected to die tomorrow and then, tomorrow, to explain the difference.
> Life expectancy for women in the United States dropped about 10 months, from just under 80 years in 2020 to slightly more than 79 in 2021. Life expectancy for men dropped a full year, from about 74 years to 73.

We've known that there's a gap in life expectancy between men and women for awhile now. But the surprising thing is that the gap is increasing; you might expect that life expectancy would drop a certain percentage for all groups, leading to the ones with the highest life expectancy getting the largest drop.

Perhaps an equity lens is merited here.
Nuclear is "not working well" for us because ideologues have been systematically undermining our nuclear industry for decades now, and it'll take a few more decades to heal the damage done by said ideologues, with the hope no one ever listen to their propaganda ever again.

Starve the beast, kick it when it's down, and blame it for not saving the day.

Well, I've reacted to the article with an "of course, the Google's browser breaks everything if you try to block tracking".

There is absolutely no reason for letting the javascript know that you've blocked some functionality. It just adds new tracking.

Anyway, the sensible thing to do is to store the values for the lifetime of the page. Simply throwing them away can be an option, but it's a bad default. Non ad based browsers do get it.

I simply print the photos I want to keep, and put them in photo albums like my parents and grandparents did before me.

I don't expect my children to be able to explore my digital archives when I'm dead in 50 years or so, so anything I want to be found then I print or otherwise place on a physical medium that's readable without computers. The less important stuff can stay archived on hard disks as plain files on a FAT32 filesystem. With a physical label on the disk describing the contents.
Skinhead? Holy. Sounds like someone is annoyed with the missionaries knocking on their door.
It seems like this could be a good way to provide smooth weather / cloud animations using real or raw cloud images rather than those heat maps most apps use.
Consider looking for a used color laser. They tend to last long enough that it's worth buying and selling.
It's not that I mind learning new things, it's that React is so barebones everyone tries to make it complete by adding different things. One person likes redux, another mobx, another context... some like class components and others like functions, some use libraries and other use frameworks, etc. Sometimes all in one codebase if it's old enough. It's a lot harder to maintain over time than a more opinionated framework. I wish Angular won out, myself.
Well, shoot, maybe it’s time to write your congressperson and get copyright law changed to how you think it should be! Beware of Chesterton’s Fence though; you can claim that digital distribution is exactly the same as physical, you can claim a copy should not count as a copy and that anyone who disagrees with you is a pedant (including congress, media, and copyright law itself?), and that old laws are good enough, but there are reasons we are where we are, reasons that have been well covered, philosophized, argued about, and litigated in court. That doesn’t mean we’re done nor that everything’s right, but failure to understand those historical reasons might leave you in a position to not be able to make a compelling case. For example, copyrights holders do in fact lose a lot of control over the physical copy after first sale, the issue here is you’re trying to claim unconvincingly that a cross-over copy from physical distribution to digital distribution has no ramifications whatsoever and should be allowed without question, though you’ve made a whole series of assumptions about how it would work and what conditions it works under, arguing that it’s possible without addressing whether it’s realistic and without addressing the actual reasons we have separate standards for digital distribution today.
I just want to take this opportunity to thank "adtech" and everyone working in it for making local storage way more complex than it otherwise needed to be because you couldn't/can't stop yourselves from abusing users.
It's crazy how far consumer, affordable consumer, tech has come.
This is likely related to COVID as well, just indirectly.

- Research has shown that recent COVID-19 infection increases risk of heart attacks, strokes, and a ton of other vascular diseases.

- Overwhelmed hospital systems will have poorer outcomes in emergencies such as sepsis where time-based care is a huge factor. Worldwide sepsis mortality has gone up over the last two years, for example.
Not disagreeing with you, but a lot of this is due to drastically lower traffic deaths, because there's very little traffic in Cuba.
> Yes, I'm sure they could, but are they directly responsible for drownings? No, this is too far.

Several European states have chosen to prosecute volunteers rescuing the drowning, so they've definitely taken on responsibility for making sure that they drown.
This is not a material distinction: for every pair (M, input) you can create a machine M’ which has no actual input and instead first writes down the input to M onto the empty tape, and then runs M. This technique practically allows you to perform most of the same proofs on inputless machines.

> For similar reasons you can have a solution to the halting problem given a program of infinite size.

Sorry, what is a “program of infinite size” in context of Turing machines?

Can you halt and open an interactive debugger in a green thread in a running production node that you can correct a method and let that thread continue running after that with these? Without interrupting any other thread of that node of course?
There is hardly any bureaucracy around income taxes. As a sibling post mentions, it's the insistence on legislating through the tax code (via deductions and credits) that makes the IRS' job incredibly complicated.
You may want to take a look at Nevron Open Vision (https://www.nevron.com/products-open-vision.aspx). This is probably the most advanced desktop cross-platform application development framework around. I work for the company that created it and we have internally compared it to MAUI, Uno, Electron Qt etc. Nevron Open Vision is better in all aspects - it supports more controls, better integration and now also supports Blazor-WebAssembly! MyDraw is one commercial application built with it and tested by thousands of Windows and Mac users.
I’m glad Cloudflare is taking a neutral stance to this. I’ve long said if a service provider, in any capacity, starts moderating content without a court order then it’s a slippery slope. I’m not saying the sites are good, but, why does Cloudflare need to be the internet police here? They can’t and shouldn’t be.

Neutrality is key, how would you feel if your content was suddenly pulled because someone on the internet disagreed?
> It had been independent / Tatar before, and Russification meant it was mainly populated by Russians.

And before Russification it was Tatars, so either way it is Russian like e.g. India or Japan.
I’d beg to differ. In the modern social media age youths are getting a lot more vain.

Teen boys are doing skincare routines.

So historically, I’d agree, but now that everyone can be a minor celeb in their own circle I think the youth are more focused on aging.
> Given that nuclear is demonstrably not working well for France what makes you so certain things would work better in other countries?

French reactors are largely offline for overdue maintenance [1]. This bunched up because scheduled maintenance was delayed. A larger European fleet of reactors would be more resilient.

Wine contributors were not allowed to see Windows leaked source code to avoid copyright infringement claims.

both WINE and ReactOS have refused to use the leaks; ReactOS doesn't even allow people who have worked legitimately at MS in the past to be developers, simply because even the smell of contamination would expose the projects to enormous legal risks

So, to be fair, Stable Diffusion authors should take inspiration from all the source material, replicate it the best way they can using their own abilities and then train the model on what they produced.

They didn't do it for two reasons:

- it would have required centuries

- the result would have been much less compelling

stable diffusion is so interesting due to the fact that the source material was of high quality.

So, we can conclude that it's the merit of the authors of the source material, not simply the model itself.

Shouldn't they be rewarded or at least consulted before using their works?

What if some of them is training their own model on works they have the right to use and now Stable Diffusion took all their hard work away?

If stable diffusion was trained on my drawings, it would produce a steaming pile of shit.

And nobody would be talking about it right now...

"""
The scientists have tested different time windows of short-term drug administration in fruit flies and found that a brief window of 2 weeks of rapamycin treatment in young, adult flies protected them against age-related pathology in the intestine and extended their lives. A corresponding short time window, 3 months of treatment starting at 3 months of age in young, adult mice, had similar beneficial effects on the health of the intestine when they were middle-aged.

“These brief drug treatments in early adulthood produced just as strong protection as continuous treatment started at the same time. We also found that the rapamycin treatment had the strongest and best effects when given in early life as compared to middle age. When the flies were treated with rapamycin in late life, on the other hand, it had no effects at all. So, the rapamycin memory is activated primarily in early adulthood”, explains Dr. Thomas Leech, co-author of the paper.

And here I am wondering what the cutoff is for middle age...
Unfortunately looks like still no compact strings like Java or JS:
https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/6612

You can work around it, but it's nice in languages where common text doesn't take double the memory (because of utf8 or compact strings).
So, you have a small but highly engaged audience and want to start earning some extra money? Then you’re in the right place! Every influencer, from micro to macro, wants to get paid for their posts, from micro to macro. And don’t worry; having a smaller audience translates into a higher engagement. This means that you can still get your posts on Instagram sponsored.
Indeed. A difference I see between the GPT-like language models and those image generation models is that it feels like the language models actually hold full copies of a lot of sample of the training dataset (hence their ability to recite existing content), whereas the image generation models clearly do not: Stable Diffusion is 4Gb something, yet it can draw anything.

That's the amazing part: the training dataset contains 5B images. Yet it distilled all of them in this mere 4Gb of data and can produce an infinite amount of content with those. It really feel like it learned how to draw, in the same sense a human learn and does not simply reproduce exact copy of what it already saw.
I see more that as a consequence of a failure of the US to legislate hate speech. Cloudflare, as a private company, doesn't want to police hate speech (which I fully understand and support, personally).

In my country, France, this website is simply illegal. It would be prosecuted, and only then the hosting company (such as Cloudflare) would have to shut down the website.
Wiki posted the 2022 report on life expectancy from the UN [1]. US life expectancy has now fallen to 70th in the world. The countries ahead of us now are including places such as impoverished micronations. Any explanation for this drop, needs to be able to explain not only the deaths but why the extreme relative impact.

Most (all?) proposed explanations fail to do so.

> advice

I was under the impression that doctors were getting sheepish about giving such advice in the US. Patients don't like to hear it.

And overweight patients require more and more expensive treatments over the course of their lives, creating a perverse incentive in a for-profit healthcare system.
That is true, but with as little as I use it, even the ink that comes with the printer dries up before I can use it all.
Doing this without something like Vault is very difficult. Vault is designed to provide similar guarantees to an HSM (it's a service designed to make keys usable but not exfiltratable), and that's essential for any long-lived certificates.

> I take this to mean they now think they shouldn't have terminated the Daily Stormer or 8chan, and won't be terminating Kiwi Farms.

That's certainly a possible interpretation, but I think it's more a call out of a fallacy, stating explicitly that "precedent doesn't make right." i.e. just because something was done before, doesn't mean it was correct.

In other words, people will argue "you should take down KF because you took down <x> and KF is worse" and they are saying, "yes we did take down <x>, but just because we did doesn't mean it was the right decision. It might have been right, it might not. We just don't want to make a decision now regarding KF simply because we did something in the past."

An extreme response to help illustrate the fallacy might be, "just because <x> committed genocide against <y> doesn't mean genocide against <y> was correct and should be used in support of genocide against <z>"
A14/M1 and higher all have the hardware for virtualization, nothing is fused off for "devices". iOS and iPadOS don't ship Hypervisor.framework but the kernel still recognizes the entitlements for using it. Apple will never sign provisioning profiles with those entitlements, of course; but on at least one particular OS version with a jailbreak you could set up hardware virtualization. See https://worthdoingbadly.com/hv/

The main problem is purely just Apple not seeing a use case for virtualization on a touchscreen. They need to let go of at least one Strongly Held Belief.
> But we don't really have the option to buy a good quality printer

Sure we do. A few years ago I looked for a list of the best printers (I used wirecutter, but there are other comparable options), and got one they recommended. It works great, even going a few months between prints, was easy to setup, and is still running great with just the toner it shipped with.
