Things I think are worth noting:

1. Intuit owns Credit Karma

> Intuit has lobbied extensively against the IRS providing taxpayers with free pre-filled forms, as is the norm in developed countries.[108][11][109]

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intuit

2. Intuit owns Mailchimp. Mailchump was hacked earlier this year.

> In a scant blog post dated August 12, just two days after the company’s co-founder and long-time CEO Ben Chestnut stepped down, Mailchimp said a recent but undated attack saw threat actors targeting data and information from “crypto-related companies” using phishing and social engineering tactics. A company spokesperson told TechCrunch that 214 Mailchimp accounts were affected by the incident, which comes just months after hackers compromised an internal Mailchimp tool to access information on 300 accounts.

I don't know for sure but I believe this could have been prevented by the use of hardware U2F tokens, the cost of which is pretty small compared to the consequences of this breach, which affected DO and others.

On a personal note, I used to have bad credit, and I grew in the habit of regularly checking my credit score on Credit Karma. They used to send me emails telling me to check my credit score, that my score had fallen, or it had risen, and so on. The emails were unnecessary - it was ingrained in me to check the app on a ~weekly basis. Eventually, I realized that my score had been at an acceptable level for years, and I unsubscribed from the mails, deleted the app off of my phone, and stopped checking. In my opinion, this was predatory behavior, preying on the vulnerabilities and insecurities of people like me or people who had it much worse.

To sum up: Intuit is not a good company. They care about making a buck and don't care about the consumer; in fact they actively work against the consumer. I don't understand why the connection between Mailchimp, Credit Karma, and Intuit is not front and center in all of these articles.
Same here. The tactical options feel like a red herring: because up front the big detail is that the town, and the militia, are not necessarily hostile - though individual members might be. So top priority really is avoiding a fight at all: particularly because your only long range options (the mortars) are going to wipe the town out entirely, and likely lead to having to fight door to door through the two objective structures in the first place.
You can get (raw) data as the satellites (on precessing near earth polar otbits) pass over .. otherwise you wait until they next pass over, whether in the US or Portugal.

Processed data for the past 24 hours is available, it may be 18 hours "old" though.

well the boiling point depends on the elevation (pressure), so that tells you nothing at all.
OP, I understand your sentiment and am inclined to agree. Support of such a site is appalling.

But I would also urge you to consider that people who feel like us leaving may make the HN community worse, as the percentage of people who support things like KF will be in greater percentage.

>> I conclude that marketing hype and the first mover advantage form the vast bulk of valuation in a novel tech that people don't understand.

Well said. Having worked in the blockchain space as a developer and founder since 2017, I've also come to the same conclusion. The formula for success is hype + first mover advantage - Aside from that; it's all about social climbing and politics around those projects.

It's surprising how long the first-mover advantage advantage lasts and it's weird to see that even developers who should know better are getting pulled into learning poorly designed (or outdated) technologies. They're conflating the financial achievements of projects with their technological achievements.

I guess that's what happens when big investors are laser-focused on making as much money as possible instead of also trying to drive innovation forward.

IMO, the inability to separate the two is a major reason why we have such significant financial bubbles in the tech sector.
Writing an app is like coding for LaserDisc
They could be routinely proxying and renaming the routes for their self-hosted ad network script to fly under the radar.

Sort of what you would do to get your analytics script past UBlock.

Like, use Cloudflare worker or something to proxy your analytics script and it won't get blocked.

Just a thought, far from sure.
There is “losing money to deal with this issue” and there is “losing more money than you are making from these users”, I imagine that this is more the former.
Having taught for several years, I agree that this is part of it. A much bigger reason is the need to avoid or reduce distractions. A class of 30 students all going off on separate tangents unrelated to the lesson plan, or unrelated the subject of the class, is unmanageable.

The article didn't go into too many details about why it worked better, but these excerpts gesture at why:

"dialing up Gibson’s cyberpunk paranoia"

"the three computer graphic sections become quite coherent in black-and-white"

"it has this kind of a dreamy, 16mm feel to it. It reminds me of Tetsuo and Eraserhead, and all these great, kind of dreamy, black-and-white movies."

"the color graphics now look all pretty retro, but in black-and-white, it has its own quality to it for sure."

"I take inspiration from films like Alphaville, La Jetée, things like that"

My impression is that the color version sets an expectations that Longo never meant. It was always intended as a B&W art film, and not as a summer block-buster. The colors and expense were a distraction.

So, if you haven't yet, check out the movies mentioned. Ironman: Tetsuo, Eraserhead, Alphaville and La Jetée. They are definitely not Hollywood blockbusters.

So, without doing any actual work.
This still seems a bit dubious—-90% of people who view the ad being qualified doesn’t mean in any way that 90% of applicants will be successful. If you have more applicants from that bottom 10% pool who click on the ad to proceed, then it would be statistically very easy to end up with a reject rate much higher than 10%.

Actually, if you care about the effects on society, the safest thing to do with stable diffusion or GPT-3 would be to release if publicly and widely.

The more people play with it, the more they are used to it and the less likely to be fooled by it. In addition, large corporations and nation states have the money and access to talent that they can build and train these models. Thus if you hide it, you are just making the technology more potent in the hands of the very people who have the most incentive to use it to manipulate people.
Yep, that was one of the latest uses, there was a classic movie by Dario Argento (1971):

TikTok Breach Is Real
Not too bad, I do scientific computing and choose Intel/Nvidia as their APIs for accelerated math operations are documented and supported for developers.

I've been paying attention to what Apple has been pushing with their M1/M2 chips, and I'm pretty tempted to try it out, but unless these features are documented and supported I can't feel comfortable writing programs relying on them.
I figure it's more like a standoff between these shops. Just consider that historically, no one would want to build ENIAC, everyone would want to design the solid-state transistor.

So, I got the hi-res footage from the studio, and we graded it into black-and-white. I worked with Cyrus Stowe, who was the colorist on this version. Basically, we went through it scene-by-scene, and he was really great.

I understand there is more involved than running the whole movie through a black-and-white filter with the default settings.

Minor nitpick, it is only the F# major pentatonic scale that only uses the black keys of the piano

Every scale has a pentatonic version, it just means that you skip some notes basically.

Apart from that, I think that the sampled sounds in Plink fit together more easily as well because of the synchronised Staccato, where there are gaps between the notes and the timing is done automatically.

Great thing !
Their commits are probably using an email not associated with their GitHub account, which is, as far as I know, how GH associates attribution.

Maybe GH should list contributions not associated to any account by their commit email directly, instead of hiding the contributors, but that's a different matter :P

>which typically refers to people benefitting in some way (money, status, coolness) from using elements developed by other cultures or sub-cultures

More specifically, when used by colonizing cultures in a way that erases the influence of, or disrespects the values of, the originating colonized culture for some material or cultural gain. The presence of an unequal power dynamic - real or implied - and inauthenticity in use is important, because the lines between cultural appropriation and cultural can sometimes be ill-defined.
Your argument seems to be that it is possible to characterise an extreme site in some sort of systemic manner.

But your argument has a gaping hole in it - you haven't identified what that systemic manner is. You initially started with a "well its obvious to all of us" point. That is a poor foundation, because you literally can't identify who "us" is. And you don't have a counter to numerous groups - also part of this "us" of humans who make decisions - who simply don't agree with you on basic things. Which is likely to include whether Kiwifarms is an acceptable site.

The little handwave where you appeal to what we all know may seem minor to you, but that is literally the failing point for the entire strategy of benign censorship. You've missed something important here to the point where your argument is basically collapsing - the world is a lot more diverse than your frame and argument are able to deal with.

You also haven't articulated how you know so much about Kiwifarms and what actually happens on the site. I suspect you've read a few articles by people you feel are credible, or noted a mob forming and decided that mobs don't form without a good reason. If either of those is the case, let me assure you that we disagree about how easy it is to get to the truth - because that is not enough evidence for me to feel confident Cloudflare will get an 80% hit rate with their strategy. Mobs and journalists are both really bad at getting things right.

Now I do think it is acceptable for Cloudflare to occasionally boot good actors off the internet for no reason, but the point stands - they are wading in to water where they will make regular mistakes, and those mistakes will start to take on a political tinge as the radicals amongst us notice that they can get away with a few "mistakes" and silence people they find intolerable. Plus if they're going to start booting people they're going to have to justify themselves a lot more - there are worse than Kiwifarms out there.
Antitrust is notoriously hard to prove. It often comes down to intent. Internal documents and how the company talks about business decisions can be enough to sway minds in a situation where you’re trying to convince a judge/jury what the company was thinking.

Clearly if you’re trying to put a competitor out of business then calling it a “team room” won’t matter one bit.

Having worked at CK, specifically on personal loans, I'm going to with Hanlon's razor here. (Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.) Not saying the fine isn't warranted, it is.

CK was a place where things were so complex (perhaps needlessly) you couldn't find anyone to explain what was going on. On this topic, you could ask people on the data team how their models worked (to determine what card or loan offers show to what users) and they seemed to have no idea, they just wanted to put the models in an AB test and see if conversion numbers went up or down.

Aside from this, there was plenty of politicking and ambitious people. Not surprised no one was really paying attention to whether or not they were running afoul of any laws. Also, I'm going to guess they made more than $3M on these mistakes that likely impacted their users' credit scores negatively.

> Not disputing what you are saying but I think the problem is also Nintendo here. Other companies love it when their players make projects like this with their work

I agree that Nintendo deserves criticism for their aggressive enforcement of the law, but the real problem is the law that allows for it. I agree Nintendo's actions probably hurt them more than helps them, but clearly they feel otherwise. Fix the laws and it fixes the problem at its source.
Honest feedback needed (tool for product review)
Hi there,

My co-founder and I are building not8 - a platform for product review, and our main target audience are web designers, QAs, frontend developers and product managers.

Right now we have an MVP - a Chrome extension that allows you to leave sticky notes on live websites and share them with your colleagues.

Product teams use it for teammate & client feedback collection and say that it increases team productivity by up to 15%!

As a very early-stage startup, we would love to hear an honest feedback, so we know what to work on (you can send it directly to my email, btw: yaro@not8.co).

In exchange, we are happy to offer an early access to our product.

Really hope for your support!

Thank you

Yaro

> nothing shows that it has open-ended potential to revolutionize computation

Well, we do know that P <= BQP <= PSCPACE, and we have one important example that lies in BQP but not in P (for all we know). It's just not clear how important that particular example is for the kind of computing we do today, if it ever becomes practical. It looks like it'd rather result in a one-time nuisance for sysadmins, like Y2K was.

The hope was for applications in new areas like materials and drug design. The author has posted a link to one paper suggesting that we might not see exponential speedups in chemical simulations, but that's not an outright refutation either.
Why mocking is a bad idea
Besides the article, znote is interesting. I was wondering why no JS notebook, similar to Jupyter notebooks exists.

That said, to build a JS data science ecosystem, znote would need to be open source. I assume that would hinder your monetization efforts.
That's a vast over simplification large parts of the NHS have are run by private providers.
From Wikipedia: "Cyberpunk is a subgenre of science fiction in a dystopian futuristic setting that tends to focus on a "combination of lowlife and high tech"". I think the film makes an excellent work of portraying that dystopian future.

Fines that are lower than the financial gains may as well be stamps of approval.
Of course in reality if you e.g. invent a new vacuum cleaner you hardly need to market it. People interested in buying a vacuum cleaner will show up at shops selling vacuum cleaners.

"Failing" means "not doing as well on the PISA tests".

Cry me a river.

Educational systems which focus on easy-to-test subjects aligned with what PISA tests ("mathematics, science, and reading") are likely to do better than ones which include art, composition, history, music, ethics, and other harder-to-test subjects.

This focus on PISA as some sort of important ground-truth for comparing educational systems is bunk.
It is your post that is absurd. And you seem quite confused. I never said people don’t care about the sizes of their cars and the weights of their bricks. I said that maybe the use of the metric system doesn’t matter for those things. You are aware that it is possible to speak of the sizes and weight of things in systems other than metric right?
Ownership also doesn't make economic sense. Battery replacement after 10-15 years negates any gas savings in that period.

I doubt 32" jeans are 32 inches either. It's just "a size formerly related to inches, now denoted 32 or 32" but not really inches". I think imperial remains for a lot of these "sizes" which aren't quite the same as "measuring". I call my TV 55 in, but if you were to ask me to measure it, I'd call it something in centimeters.
From my understanding the CELL was meant to be the GPU for the PS3 but Sony instead found the same issues and could not program a reasonable performing SDK using it within the time limits (MS Xbox 360) and added in a Nvidia RSX GPU.

I have no numbers to back this up, but intuitively I'd put my money on less than 448 hours per year average, do you have any source on this?
> 2) the fact you can cut A3 into two A4 etc. is great, but doesn't really matter when 99% of the printing paper will be just one size (A4) anyway?

This is more for the manufacturing side. At the factory they really only have to make A0 paper that can then be cut to any other A size without any waste. You can't do this if the paper sizes are not related which is the case with North American sizes.

Also the fact that you can fold a A4 into A5 (what is used for letters here) with a single fold is really neat.
Actually 448 hours a year is pretty high in my opinion.
Nothing in what I said is incorrect. The original scientific definition of the meter is via a pendulum (1645), then it was refined via toises multiple times, and today it's defined via speed of light.

This well-actually explanation is redundant. The context is already Watt's role as non-inventor:

Where I'm from (Eastern Europe), this is not generally a thing. Is it easier to kidnap a child using a white van? Or do the would-be kidnappers always use white vans so as to be more easily spotted?

Is the plan to kidnap the child and... raise them as a member of one's own family? Try to blackmail the parents? Something worse?

This whole situation is hard for me to understand, your confidence about white vans in particular.
