the following is a response to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32771479 which is dead, so i am writing here instead, since it fits.

The problem is, the mods at Twitter may have a disagreement with a user and ban them arbitrarily, like they did with Peterson. Pretty soon, you will not be able to read anything except what appeals to the Twitter mods. Your thinking will be forced and re-defined and you won't be able to say what you think, because of the repercussions.

[...]

In a world where you can only say what you are allowed to say, people will stop thinking and everybody will say similar things. I hardly call that "freedom" and "pursuit of happiness".

i agree with your general sentiment, which is why i pointed out the difference of how germany treats its freedom of opinion. a few years ago a new law was enacted that requires the swift removal of online hate speech and one of the first people blocked because that law was someone making anti-muslim comments. so no, there is no allowed hate speech there.

the difficulty is to figure out what is to be considered hate speech and what isn't. some of that we may have to learn through trial and error.

the new law is controversial because it forces companies to act on mere notification without a court order. which, while considered normal in the US, is not how germans like to do things.
Good point, I'll add prev / next back in the next update. They've been moved to the "control pad" (pro feature) in the extension, but my intention is for the free version to support all current HN features.
Pretty sure "She died as she lived, protecting pedophiles and dodging taxes" is about the most "on-brand" ban you can get here.*

This is zero to do with image protection; I couldn't care less. What I care about, when doing this job, is not having dumb flamewars. There's not a lot more to it than that.

I'm sure it's my fault for not being clearer, but you guys are taking this completely the wrong way if you think it has a whit to do with monarchism. It has to do with internet comments. That's all.

More at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32771818 in case it helps.

* but we wouldn't ban an established account for just one comment, and it looks like I made a mistake about that account's history, so I've unbanned it now. I wouldn't have done that if you hadn't replied, so thanks!

They do all sorts of things for security, which is one of the "tenets" (an Amazon thing) of the project. For instance: the reason we haven't had easy access to GPUs is that they don't fit easily into the Firecracker architecture.

Reading through this decision, it is clear that there is an overabundance of motivated reasoning here. The court very clearly is trying to justify its decision, not reach one based on the law.

In particular given the amendment to the law in 2017 which added, among other things, these clauses:

> It is the policy of the state that [the HAA] should be interpreted and implemented in a manner to afford the fullest possible weight to the interest of, and the approval and provision of, housing.

and

> despite the fact that, for decades, the Legislature has enacted numerous
statutes intended to significantly increase the approval, development, and
affordability of housing for all income levels, including this section

Both of these quotations are very clearly statements of "fuck you courts, follow the law", which the court has summarily ignored, stating that even though it is routine for statutes to be interpreted in such a manner that singular nouns include plurals and plural nouns include the singular, that the statement "only residential units" does not include building a residential unit and nothing else.
I have been laid off / pushed out twice and counting.

Obvious practical things... don't leave much at your desk/at the office, make sure you have copies of important stuff (W-2s, paystubs, personal documents, contact information, etc) on your own devices. Depending on the company... they might do something like phone you and ask you to come to a meeting room, then do it there and not let you go back to your desk, so be ready for that. Do this all the time at any job and be ready, not just when you feel things are going bad.

Focus on updating your CV, building relationships and skills that will work outside the company.

Try to salvage things with your employer to the extent possible. This might mean just agreeing that it wasn't a good fit, but avoiding a drama with them, and they could still be a reference and confirm that you worked there from date X - date Y, confirm some projects you worked on, etc.

If you do get laid off, the company will generally offer you X week's severance pay, and health insurance until the end of the month, etc... in exchange for signing an agreement not to sue them for anything, non disparagement, etc. You might be able to negotiate those terms a bit, so you could try for more money, less money but more health insurance, etc... so think about what would be best.

Most people (myself included) look back and say it is a positive thing, it is better to be let go and find something better than continue in a crappy situation that will never get better. Be prepared, try to remember that, and avoid an emotional response or giving into anxiety, shock, etc.
That is easy, even with the two horizontal mask lines.

Marten is in the process of making a bunch of optimizations [0], as are we within Caddy, and 2.6 includes some of those. It will only get better with time.

We do have this in the US! All laws should show who wrote them, when, who approved it, etc, we just don't have a great API for programs, and moreso we don't have the public appetite to consume it
The best meeting tool I've ever seen is the John Cleese video "meetings bloody meetings".

Find a way to include all five summary points at the end of that video into your product, and you'll have a winner.

Right now I see you only addressing one of them, maaaybe two.
with BPS you mean throughput on a single request? On an unconstrained connection (like loopback)? In this case you are mostly measuring CPU efficiency, since for a real world deployment the network connection would likely be the bottleneck. In that real world setup then loss of CPU efficiency becomes a scaling challenge, which actually makes it less RPS.

Btw: A good recommendation for anyone doing benchmarking is to both measure throughput for a single connection, but also throughput for the whole server when using lots of connections (e.g. 100 connections per core, and each connection doing multiple concurrent requests). The latter will point out further scaling issues.

In terms of full system efficiency HTTP/2 vs HTTP/1 (with TLS) is actually not that bad for good implementations - might have 10-50% more cost but in the end the performance critical parts (doing syscalls for TCP sockets) are the same for both. QUIC can be much worse. Well optimized setups (which e.g. use optimized UDP APIs with GSO or even XDP) somewhere between 50-100% more expensive than TCP+TLS setups. And simpler implementations can be 5x as expensive, and might not even scale beyond a single CPU core.
There are reports in medical journals of people accidentally taking hundreds of doses of LSD, and they all were sober within 24 hours.
For some reason it seems extremely surreal to me that England now will have a king again. "The King of Great Britain" sounds like something out of a history movie, not present.
Oh yeah it would definitely be in the interests of the ruled class. Unfortunately, since it is bad for the ruling class, we won't get it.
No Turtles? Lame.
I mean, if I see someone crying while eating a giant bag of doritos because they really wish they weren't eating it but their cravings are making it hard for them to stop--and, honestly, I am pretty sure I've done exactly that in the past--and you were to tell me "Proctor and Gamble is merely giving them what they want" I'd call you, at best, a jerk.

> In similar vein, would there be a difference in algorithm that shows you what you want, or determines which videos create the most dopamine hits and juices you in a particular direction?

Yes, and the idea that you don't see this is literally shocking to me... it absolutely is the case that people can want things that they have a hard time avoiding, and the existence of a "dopamine hit" is not some kind of "proof of want". The comment I was replying to said that the algorithm was "designed to show people what they want"... that is categorically not true: it was designed to show people what makes Google the most money, full stop.

> There may be fancier ways to describe this, but would an algorithm that merely enhances diffusion be the same as an algorithm designed to drive molecules to the most extreme directions?

I'm sorry, but are you seriously now advocating for treating users--sentient beings with wants and motivations--as nothing more than molecules you can happily and gleefully move with your algorithms? Do you really not see anything wrong with this? :(
Thank you!
I've never been much for acting save for a brief foray in elementary school, during which I found out that I don't particularly enjoy trying to act out a character.
My understand is that the Crown Estate is owned by the Crown, personified by the Monarch. Also, it's NOT used to fund the Monarch directly, instead all profits from the Estate go to the Treasury, which in turn pays a percentage of that back to the Monarch, for the purpose of running the Monarchy.

I'm not sure if it is in any way clearly defined what should happen to the Estate should Britain choose to become a Republic, but I suppose the actual result would be that it would be taken over completely by the government.

But _formally_ it is still considered property of the Monarch.
It is all relative.

In the case of recreational drugs it is relative to alcohol.

So not "completely harmless" but "relatively harmless"
Fair enough, thank you!
> If the price difference between making it bendable instead of always curved is neglible, you might as well cater to both flat-screen and curved-screen buyers with one product.

I agree.

In my case I bought years ago a curved LG OLED display even if I was quite against it because it was 1000.- CHF cheaper than its identical but flat twin (2500.-) => I relocated last October and the only place I could put the TV in the new flat was in front of the fireplace, which is in the livingroom's corner cutting the 2 walls by 45 degrees => the curved TV fits better than a flat TV to show the image towards the viewer sitting on the couch in the square room.

Therefore, if the price diff is not too high, then why not - maybe you won't need that feature or not immediately, but you never know; it does give you more "options" and I'm always in favour of that, as well when coding, managing a project, etc - having more options decreases risk, makes you more able to adapt, etc :)

If you think that Queen Victoria, head of the largest empire the world has ever seen and who purchased Balmoral, got rich by skimping on taxes, then I’d recommend taking some time to read a book or two.
Very cool. Are these interactive stories created with Twine?
I’m not sure that optimizing readability for someone unfamiliar with the language is the right tradeoff.

Rust code uses a Result<T, E> type for error handling: it can either be Ok(T) or Err(E), never both.

The question mark operator tries to extract the value wrapped in Ok. If the Result is Err and not Ok, it returns the error. It’s not “hidden magic”, it’s a well-defined operator.

> I don't know Rust, but the example you've given implies I can not include "?" in the call and just ignore any errors entirely?

If you don’t unwrap the value from the result, then you still have a Result<T, E> instead of a T, and will get a type error.

Hi, author here.

I walk through the process of developing the exploit and primitives, and was upfront that I ran into a mitigation which thwarted my exploit strategy. Similar to other exploit writeups I've done, I try to focus on the big picture and illustrate the idea (through writing and diagrams) while still being technically rigorous. Exploit development is much more reading code than it is writing it.

If you have any suggestions for improvement, or want to tell me which sections felt like handwaving to you, please let me know! Better yet, if you have an idea on how to defeat the mitigation so I can complete the exploit, I would love to discuss it.

BTW: Failing to produce an exploit for a very powerful bug like this, despite my best efforts, was considered a giant win for the security review of Firecracker.
New API, and already mixes camelCase (committeeReport) and snake-case (house-communication).
Was there not a cheaper/faster way to do the ITER R&D?

I guess there's also lot of value in getting the private industry expertise in building the magnents and all of the complicated sub-parts. Basically training a whole generation in practical advanced fusion development. Hopefully there will be some real-world application in time for this knowledge and expertise to be transferable.
Great points. Didn't know about Teams apps, going to look into it. Cool!
No worries! It was my first time being called a paid shill for Facebook, which I found quite amusing anyway :D

As someone with a background in biomedical engineering, who once planned to research the development of gene therapies for cancer treatments: yes, definitely :)

But we do know the basics, and our ability to synthesize, excise, and replace specific genetic sequences is quite sophisticated nowadays. So while there is some technical consideration regarding implementation details, the bigger barrier to gene editing experiments is the ethics. For instance, I mentioned FOXP2, and as it turns out, we've already done the experiments of engineering mice with human FOXP2 genes (which is how we learned that, in addition to language, it's quite important in spatial awareness).

While modifying a chimp comes with its own technical considerations, we've already modified monkeys in 2001 and then again in 2014, and FOXP2 is more compatible with chimps than mice, so... it's really far more about the ethics of such a thing.

Now, I was joking in my comment, but part of me absolutely would love to say "screw the anthropocentric ethics, as long as you're not hurting anyone, MAKE THE CHIMP SMARTER!" :D

The FDA is in the process of certifying psilocybin for therapeutic purposes, research should begin within a year or two, but decriminalization in oakland has already led to high quality, precision-dosed, retail-available gelcaps and such. I'm hoping those products hop the bay and show up in SF head shops, soon.
I honestly wonder how much actual options she had in her position. The office of king/queen in the UK is both a cornerstone of the country and severely restricted by centuries of history. It might be that her taking any specific kind of political position might have been seen as damage to the democratic system of the uk.

Correct me if I'm wrong I don't even think ingestion, of psilocybin, is illegal it's just possession.

> Besides, for every animal sacrifice on LSD there are 100 (probably more) drunk drivers crashing into trees, parked cars, oncoming traffic, and pedestrians, and alcohol is totally legal and widely used.

That seems to ignore the fact that there are far more people drinking than tripping. I'm not saying that with an equal numbers of users the math wouldn't still make drinking more dangerous, I really don't know, but it's an unfair comparison.
As an American watching with dismay over the past five years or so, I can see some virtue in having a non-partisan head of state (realizing that that does not mean the Royal Family is beyond ideology). Not sure how that would work in our republic, but I feel like it would help with national unity during divisive political times.
The EU requirement is for platform interoperability—e.g. sending a message from WhatsApp directly into iMessage, and vice versa. How would the RCS implementation that Google is asking for, which is carrier-based like SMS, satisfy that?

Even if Apple and Facebook implemented a private message peering service and chose RCS as the protocol, I don’t see how that helps Google.
Reducing stigma helps research. It becomes easier to get institutional support, recruit study participants, collaborate with colleagues, obtain funding, etc.

Nice that they found a mix, I expected >90% of them to be religious or semi-religious (what you hear about the freemasons sounds quite cult-ish too, eg).

But not sure why they decided to include the Molly Maguires. Sounds like a plain mob to me, the Yakuzas and the Cosa Nostra probably have more rituals than those, and both are still very much in existence.
Just a little usability tip, if you name the css file with the extension .user.css, when viewed as raw from Github, Gitea, etc extensions like Stylus will offer to install it so users don't need to create the userstyle entry themselves.
lowest priority of law enforcement is a meaningful law, sure the police do not typically target individual users, but producers and distributors are at risk - and nobody can get individual amounts without producers and distributors doing their thing. this also allows people to come out of the shadows which tends to ensure the product and the purchasing experience are safer.

Prior to Prop 64, we had a lowest priority ordinance for cannabis and it was a useful tool in defending our medical dispensaries.

People also have a tendency to get charged with possession when arrested for other things, even a traffic warrant or case of mistaken identity.
I think you're picking hairs, given how much influence Nepal and Bulgaria have on the world stage, compared to QEII's 70 years as one of the most powerful heads of state on earth, probably the most powerful, given the duration.
claiming she had serious faults is fine. Blaming her and the monarchy for the execrable state of the modern United Kingdom is not. She was the monarch, but Parliament had primacy de jure during her reign. The sad state of affairs in our country is despite her, not because of her.

She had flaws, but far fewer than the various ships of fools inflicted on us by our electoral system over the past decades
I hope they soon provides schemas rather than just separate human-only markdown description of fields. Both XML and JSON have methods for this using Linked Data.

For JSON-LD, this would basically look like this (from https://json-ld.org/spec/latest/json-ld/#the-context):

{
"@context": {
"name": "http://schema.org/name", ← This means that 'name' is shorthand for 'http://schema.org/name'
"homepage": {
"@id": "http://schema.org/url", ← This means that 'homepage' is shorthand for 'http://schema.org/url'
}
…
},
… data part using name, homepage, etc
}

Once you have stable places for information (identifiers), you can start building a real web as described by the semantic web, by bundling schemas with the data you can freely use information with human and machine understanding, until then you've got a muddle.
> ... that's otherwise freely available.

Reading this again, it doesn't seem obvious to me that this is justified so I'll try to explain.

Let's say every copyright owner decides tomorrow that it's not worth trying to enforce copyright and, similarly, everybody who is currently paying for streaming services just starts downloading and seeding torrents for all of the content said services have licensed. In my mind, this only exposes the lack of scarcity, and that the value that these streaming companies provide amounts to hard drive space.

Anyway, that's kinda off-topic copyright stuff. When it comes to, for example, WSJ, I dunno. I would really like it to work with some way of providing creative text without the consumers being required to contribute financially but I would not say that it's the fault of the bypassing consumer when it doesn't work.

It's especially difficult to find a "real-world" example; I can't compare it to stealing from Walmart because WSJ doesn't have to replace what was stolen. If I download a game from TPB instead of Steam, the worst thing that happens is that Steam and the developer of the game lose a sale, whereas if I go down to Best Buy and take one of the packaged discs from their shelf and take it home without paying, Best Buy loses the sale and also needs to replace what wasn't sold (granted, the game publisher still gets paid because they provide the discs and packages).

It's interesting to think about but ultimately, the line I choose to draw is at the scarcity of the product / service: if it's not natural, then it's a fundamentally flawed business, paywall- or ad-driven.
