It's not a technological problem for as long as it is cheaper to clear-cut rainforest, burn coal and emit toxic gasses than it is to organize a new type of power generation method, set it up for industrial scale, invest in technologies to make processes cleaner, etc.

The entire problem is that it's easiest to be bad. It takes political effort to demonstrate that there is a global commons that is being spoiled through this behavior.
That sounds like fraud. Why not take Google to court?
It's the same on the 5.1 mix.
“Increasing the money supply through open market operations” is a bit of a mouthful. I don’t think most people mean that that government is literally printing bills when they say “printing money”.
in Chrome, you can just type "US<patent number>" in the address bar and it will probably work.
This year "Meta" basically said they might have to leave the EU. Some of the reactions were "and good riddance !".

To be fair, it's the USA, starting with the police-state-like Patriot Act, that basically made US companies illegal in the EU...

(I don't remember if there were any revelations in the Snowden scandal about Facebook helping the NSA to spy on EU citizens, companies, governments... IIRC the documents (we got) talked mostly about Google and Microsoft ?)
I think, quite frankly, AMD ceded the AI accelerator market to Nvidia the day they decided not to offer consistent compute-API support throughout their product range. ROCm support is limited to a very select number of flagship products, and even flagship products from recent generations are unsupported.

The future users of your highest-end HPC accelerators start with affordable hardware they can develop and test against on their desktop. No sane developer jumps headfirst into your most expensive product (with the highest power/cooling infrastructure requirements) just to test compatibility and get familiar with your APIs.

Nvidia understands this, and you are able to run the same basic algorithms across everything from mid-range desktop GPUs to high-end HPC accelerators (performance varies, of course). Intel somewhat understands this, although has had major missteps in this area (e.g. limited AVX-512 support on desktop processors, poor developer story for Xeon Phi).
Developers said they would leave GitHub when Microsoft acquired it. Did GitLab get a valuation boost? Maybe a minor one at most.

Adobe aren't buying Figma to kill it. It's their future.
Yet, we shouldn't abandon humanities education.
Waiting for it to rise to HN frontpage?

Or perhaps they find the title describes a step they approve of, and haven't read how middle-of-the-road this sounds based on article contents.
If you managed to create a functional efficient socialist society that uplifted everyone out of poverty and gave everyone a good standard of living, that would require more energy than an unequal society with lots of poor people.

It’s just thermodynamics. Order takes energy. Producing products and services takes energy.
The federal government needs to get out of the college loan business. The government needs to either pay for college (like they do for K-12) or GTFO out.

The problem with college is it's too expensive. The government has done nothing to make it cheaper. Their backing and forgiveness of student loans only makes it more expensive.

It's infuriating. All the government needs to do is literally nothing. Just get out of the way!
I was actually thinking about that, and most of that phrase is an enumeration, it's easier to parse.
I suppose announcing illegitimate children is an attempt to get marriage cancelled. Interesting strategy.
True, but C missed the memo, unfortunately.
That doesn't solve the GP's complaint. Defaults are powerful.
You can get the precise scanout positions easily. For direct scanout: Windows has fullscreen exclusive mode, X11 has unredirecting, and Wayland recently added direct scanout surfaces. There's major API extensions to query the vblank times, so you can set up the next frame to start scanout precisely when a console would. Now, you won't be able to modify the image when it's displaying--no racing the beam tricks, but consoles usually locked the vram outside vblank anyway.
Retro hardware is available, and maybe it's not too expensive, however retro hardware _with_ HDMI or otherwise clean digital output? not so cheap.

A good HDMI scaler is hundreds of dollars, plus you need RGB-modded consoles to get good output.
Nomachine's server and client are closed-source but work great.

For open-source solution for quickly remoting into an existing display, I use freerdp-shadow-cli which is way more stable than x11vnc and uses the RDP protocol instead.
If you use even a slightly customised user-agent and/or OS setup, it's likely you'll be blocked. They'll of course say it's for your "security", but we all know what that really means: use only the software and hardware configurations that we approve. Of all the ways to "herd the sheeple", this is the most insidious because it punishes those who don't want to submit to their whims. Meanwhile the actual attackers are going to still have enough motivation to find ways around it, similar to how DRM has encouraged piracy.
One solution is to invite more immigration to balance the falling birth rate. More workers means more tax revenue.
yeah lets not rehash this debate, this same back and forth already happened on the announcement thread. we all know adobe aren't the best stewards historically, but intentions are good, yada yada. time will tell.
Not really. Telephones, radio, radar, x-ray machines etc. all predate ICs by decades. You don't need lithography to make relays or vacuum tubes.
Social security expenditures will grow from 4% of gdp to 6% of gdp from 2000-2035. By 2035 Medicare will grow to 8% of GDP. So in a bit over a decade, one out of every six dollars produced in the economy will be going to take care of retired people.
"We shared the info [of an early report of someone being on the tracks] and some took to twitter declaring that the person was a junkie on our tracks and it is BART's fault.

We hope you have all since deleted your tweets."

I am looking forward to the future of aggressive-aggressive tweeting from public transit agencies.

I've also always wondered if there was any way to help BART, sort of in a USDS style, or if the problems really are paltry budgets and mismanagement, and so joining in an engineering capacity wouldn't help at all.
Bankruptcy doesn't always mean complete dissolution. Typically the obligations are altered to ensure continued existence, especially when there is continued revenue coming in.
From reading the excerpt of the book Paris Marx quotes [0], Musk's criticism of the California HSR project seems focused on its cost & effectiveness (i.e. that the bullet train would be too slow, especially considering modern tech that's now available).

Another way to frame his comments would be to say that Musk wanted to suggest a better alternative to the HSR project. I'm not sure which framing is the more accurate (not that well versed on trains), but seems valuable to point out ; I'm not convinced by the framing that Musk unveiled Hyperloop because he secretly wanted _no train at all_.

These are excellent tips. I have been managing Google Ads full time for about 12 years and I run a small agency. I can confirm he is right about all of this.

The challenging thing about this advice is that for most people it feels unnatural to do the opposite of what Google recommends. Usually people need to get ripped off a few times before they accept that fact that Google is no longer a good actor.
Not to mention that you have the most number of people in history in the last hundred years, so you'd expect "largest amount of" stats to generally be from that time period (as long as they're stuff related to humans)
California’s high speed rail is such a misbegotten mess that it’s the height of delusion to think Musk influences its fate.
To me it sounds like it might incur a lot of overhead for minimal gains. At the end of the day you are trusting both the software and hardware implementation for isolation when using virtualization. Virtualization comes with a substantial relative performance penalty.

In an ideal world, where virtualization has no performance penalty, it might make sense to wrap everything in VMs but in the real world I think having the option to switch isolation mechanisms might be the best idea.

Some may need "better" (subjective) security and opt for VMs which could be the default platform. Others may be fine with something more lax like gvisor or even just having different users for each namespace.
You are completely ignoring the fact that you can't always "just increase the tax". Tax increases have their negative consequences, at some point they can kill the entire economy.
I think GP was talking about how ssh has the -X and -Y flags for forwarding X, but you need to do something like -L XXXX:localhost:YYYY to ssh forward.

TigerVNC (and some others) will do e.g. "-via foo@bar :1" which GP might not know, but is rather convenient.

Xpra is still a better replacement for -X when launching a single application though.
Or raise taxes. This could take the form of raising the percentage, or increase the yearly cap, so that high earners contribute more.
It's all fun and games until you want to play something that has anticheat…
When baby boomers were getting these same degrees they mostly led to well-paying middle management careers. There was a transition stretching across Gen X and Millennials where degrees like "social work" steadily lost value as supply of these degrees gradually outpaced demand, and wages slowly stagnated.

Gen Z seems to be much, much more aware of this issue and as a result the number of STEM majors in colleges have exploded. Although it does also seem like the rigor has gone down acutely.

I'm getting my second bachelors in Computer Science now, my first was in Chemical Engineering 12 years earlier. The amount of rampant cheating and seeming inability for the schools to "fail" a student is completely foreign to me compared to my first degree, which took me 8 years to achieve across three schools, so I definitely got a somewhat decent sample of school cultures.
We don’t have to abandon it. But we don’t need to subsidize it with public funding.
I don't think we should abandon it, but if you want to pay 500k usd for you degree on french poetry in the 17th century, you should pay for it yourself.
Because any challenge will lose. It is in their terms of service that what they are doing is legal. But nobody is going to read 70+ of legalese just to set up a campaign.

The issue is that they have not been good faith actors for many years now.

As explained by other comments above there is a hidden setting you need to change to get Google to actually run your ads in the areas you selected.
Same here. Nothing provided by Wayland gives me a compelling reason to switch as long as X11 keeps working for me.
Whether "genius" or not he has absolutely nothing in common with Von Neumann.
I'd like to also add, there is no feasible way everyone alive on Earth today may have a hot shower. It can't be done. This extends to other luxuries, too. This is, fundamentally, an unanswered political question. There is no amount of technology short of pure magic that can help here.

At some point, humans have to decide what a future looks like for us and the planet. At the moment, we choose not to.
I'm surprised that it doesn't mention Rings of Power, which is one of the most blatant examples of this to happen recently.
It was clear that Nirvana had something before Nevermind - when the album blew up they were on an Australian tour at the time, Ken West brought them out to support the Violent Femmes at the Big Day Out. If you're touring internationally then you've hit some kind of success already.
> colleges offered useless degrees

This is such a weird perspective. Look at any modern business. A lot of employees will have studied something in humanities. There are valuable skills (particularly writing and communication) that are learned in these degrees that might not be seen as valuable by your average techie.

The problem is not "useless degrees" (they're all useful, regardless of what you may think of them), the problem is insane cost of education.
One of the reasons places like that can accept these bills is they aggressively pursue counterfeiters and have the budget to do so. Like having a security team. They don’t just “take the L” if they get a counterfeit bill.

When I was security at Target the most exciting thing I did was work with the Secret Service (who are also responsible for catching counterfeiters) who would come from their downtown office and pick up the counterfeit bills we’d sometimes receive. Oddly enough for awhile we were getting counterfeit $5 bills. We wouldn’t catch those until we put it into the money counting/scanning machine at night in the safe room, though.
Because up until about 6 months ago, the 3-4 year run to that point you were better off holding. I'm sure lots of people have had a very expensive (on paper) lesson this year about how much vested stock they should hold on to (if any).
The problem with doing nothing is that college defaults to a system where it is simply not affordable for a significant section of the population. The system in the US is for sure flawed, but doing nothing and letting the market decide will not solve the social equity problem either.
This is perhaps the greatest apology by a scientist I've seen.
I would consider algorithms advanced. I’ve been programming professionally for 8+ years, and haven’t yet found a need to study algorithms. It seems like all the scenarios where I would need some scholarly algorithm knowledge have been abstracted by some library.
>There are valuable skills

Depends on the business and the degree. They may be valuable, but they are not 500k usd valuable.

>(particularly writing and communication)

You should learn that in grade school.
Surprisingly enough, made me a better chemist.

I did what he did plus worked the extra hours to boot.

>BE THE FIRST ONES IN LAB. Get started immediately.

Q. Why did the chemist come to work in the lab especially early?

A. To check the reaction.

Now when it comes to software, sometimes the documentation is so poor you're going to have to be pretty good at experimentation & discovery.
Even listening on a good, calibrated 5.1 setup, the center dialog is way too quiet.
We should never forgot about SON OF WHYACHI either
The article does not specify which camera, or if its all of them, that is causing the issue. At least some of the iPhone camera sensors have Sensor-shift stabilization that moves the sensor to compensate for movement [1].

Often non-smartphone camera lenses with Optical Image Stabilization have an on/off switch to prevent shaking that can occur under certain situations.

Humanities is reading and writing. There’s no need to pay $100k/year to read and write.
This was fun! Would definitely play a mobile puzzle game with levels like this
I bet it won't happen, and if happen it won't affect G a lot, at this point.

1. Who else can Apple put as default search engine? -- Bing? But Microsoft is Apples direct competitor on laptop and desktop market. Who knows what Bing would show users? And other competitors in search market are extinct. Yahoo, AOL, etc. Duck is using BING's api.

There are local market search engines (like Yandex in russia), but they already are default search engines on mobile in that markets(at least on lot of android devices, don't know about iOS).

At most Apple would offer user to chose search engine on first set-up, and guess what users would chose?

So we slowly are moving to second point.

I don't thing Google needs to pay for this, they just are doing this by inertia. Most competitors are extinct. And people know by word of mouth, that google "is the best search engine".

About Firefox it might be tricky. People who decided to try firefox can be more interested in trying another search engine as well, so here their payment for default SE makes some sense.
Would love to see what the results are for an m2.
Some cashiers hate it when I tell them to keep the change. It throws their count off later if they put it in the register, and they have to count it out themselves if they want to keep it.
> remake a classic film of an iconic character with well known traits

Ah yes. Ariel and her well known traits:

* mermaid

* fascinated with the world above and it’s strange culture

* warm and cheerful friendships with aquatic life

* deeply connected to the white identity

Somehow I just know people wouldn’t be freaking out if she had a red tail or blonde hair.

> I’d rather die standing on my feet than on my knees like a coward begging for mercy.

It is tragic that you think arguing over a character being portrayed by a black actress is dying on your feet
>This is one of the biggest scams in history.

What's the deception here? Was the government going around saying how much money you could earn from a humanities degree? Statistics about earning potential degrees of degrees were available for decades. Caveat emptor.
> Why can't $125 million dollars buy better writers?

I know this is really a rhetorical question but imagine just being able pay more for better writing.

(The writing sucks because this is a commercial project first and foremost)
I don't see how doing that will magically produce more oil available.

Or maybe I'm missing something. Though I don't think so.

It all reminds me of an old riddle:

Q: What do you call a Rolls-Royce with an empty fuel tank?

A: A paper-weight.
Exits to the outside get left open (probably because of those legal or fire code restrictions) but such things as exits to another level get blocked this way. Even just doing this to entrances has the same problem--the maps aren't going to say that the entrance is blocked, and there's seldom a good enough sign to make this known.
A long time ago I used a Citrix xserver that translated everything to ica, it was very fast and hid the latency well even over an isdn connection.
You can still do that with systemd though. If you want to swap out some components then just don't use those features in your unit file, instead have your unit file run a shell script that uses your components. The "opposition" to systemd has never made any sense to me on any level.
I believe the ads are built into the launcher and can be removed by using adb to replace the launcher app.
Horrifying take. Typical of /hn/ when it comes to stuff like this, unfortunately.
Very dry! Was hoping for first principles, the way a Thomist would start at the smallest element in the conversation, like God, and then expand outwards in a steady flow.

The first principles here are just a book of proven theories. It doesn't start anywhere, you just jump into knowing dry maps of theory. Flow is non-existant.
> Part of why I’m feeling the urge to transition to wayland is performance benefits

Great. I don't think I'll miss any X11 feature. I'll probably update my 9 year old laptop to something with wayland next year.
Given the costs for development of roads has already been paid for, self-driving cars are actually incredibly cheap.

It’s the cost of electricity plus amortized depreciation of the vehicle. R&D is pretty even I think when you consider the development costs that also went into engineering the BART system.

The cost per mile is definitely within the range of ~.09 ($3.45 / 37 miles), with immense value from being able to travel anywhere that has roads and been geo-mapped. One of the primary limitations of public transport is that it’s limited to specific locations. Self-driving removes that constraint.
My government school did have messaging to that effect. I knew it was bullshit, but lots of people believed them.
> who never needed it in the first place

Absolutely. How else are you going to grow 15% YoY or hit your sales quotas?
Can someone address various criticism, possibly slander of Wayland, along the lines of "well it works now, but it is already outdated"?

I can't remember were I read it, but among the claims were that it is too closely coupled to GNOME, and various things like fractional scaling, apps having to provide min/max/close buttons/decorations, or window shading not being in the core protocol because of that. Also - and more seriously - the rendering was claimed to be based an outdated/wrong model meaning GUI applications can't detect and optimize for things like when to render or not, e.g. make decisions based on refresh rates or not being focused, resulting in performance or battery life problems.

The other point about missing native network support I can dismiss myself, but for the others I am not knowledgeable enough.
that's very different - does not stop me copying a car engine and selling my knockoff.

I can buy a car engine, modify it and sell my modification.

Supplimentary documentation, and schematics are a separate matter - but engine itself is not protected. Software itself is protected, you can do nothing..
Nobody has a right to see all information in the world. Free speech is an ideal, not a right.

The first amendment just ensures the government cannot punish you for what you say.

If you are arguing for implementing that ideal, well and good. I disagree that in our current media ecosystem that that is a good idea. But I cannot fault you for advocating for an ideal.

If you are suggesting the public has a right to see all content on a platform without any moderation, you are wrong. No such right is enshrined in US law.
So reductionist, lol. Which desk jobs aren't fundamentally reading and writing?
Is separating the hardware and software layers really a radical notion for embedded programming?
I don't know what you consider government, but the public schools I attended constantly told students that you had to go to college to be successful, no matter what degree you got.
There’s likely a significant difference in firmware and the image processing pipeline. That’s a lot of software involved!
Travelers revolt against Airbnb chore lists atop cleaning fees
I noticed the same thing and it was hard to believe that such a basic thing is actually unsupported in 2022. It's really just not supported by Gnome or KDE when using Wayland.
I wouldn't take this as a reason to develop sympathy for the cunts - but I do think it's worthwhile to look at things critically and understand if you're being manipulated, because marketing strategies like these are also designed to get buy in from your anger at the people that are pissed off.

I'm not sure if any of these decisions in film are actually cynical in this way or if they've all been genuine - but outside of film political outrage-marketing has been used again and again in the past decade.

If you get whipped up into a rage at the other people whipped up into a rage by X corporation pushing Y hot-button agenda (eg Gillette and their foray into gender politics) it's important to remember that you're both getting played by a cynical capitalist machine.

X company doesn't actually care about about Y issue - but they care a lot about the publicity and new loyal fans they can generate by cynically whipping up outrage.
I think a vanishingly small fraction of liberal arts undergraduates are paying 500K USD for their degrees (even after you factor in all external costs), much less taking on that much in debt.

(The rest of the comment is ridiculous -- it should be obvious that there is much more to learn about writing or communication than just what can be taught in grade school.)
