This was not solution.

This is same, as complaints in exUSSR countries, that when where communists, roads where empty, and traffic issues does not exists.

In reality, people where so poor, that there was less than 1/10th automobiles, which normal similar western city has, so those automobiles number was not enough to create traffic issues.

China current officials are essentially same communists as soviet, so they used obvious things for propaganda, and does not do real measures as long as possible.

Western world is not ideal, but at least it is honest- we could talk free about such things; we could critic officials, and we could suggest solutions and take part in implementing them.
I've heard in the zeal to create unique DIY videos for ad views people are just making things up these days.
>If a big enough computer is created, someone not interested in crypto can take money away from it, or if the computer is big enough even destroy it, a quantum computer for instance, should make a 51% attack on a network as proof it is a quantum computer.

Thank you for this vision of a happier future.
Another idea would be legislature. Have these online public spaces serve under the same laws as real-life public spaces (museums, parks et cetera).

If a town banned you from the train station because you refuse to give them your phone number, that would open them up to being sued. That should absolutely apply to Discord, Google Mail and Amazon AWS.
>I refuse to be held to US enforcement when I operate outside US jurisdiction. I know other SaaS will follow suit, but we have to oppose this somehow.

I'm in the US, and I'm not so sure I want to be held to US enforcement. Our government has always been a little wacky, but it's really stepped up the jiggery-pokery during the past, well, 20 years.

At this point it feels an awful lot like a past-their-prime pop star getting screechy and demanding about the brown M&Ms in the dressing room.
I think money satisfies nocoiners already.
Not really the same. Mining pools simply point their capital at an api while those staking with exchanges literally give them their capital. With stratum V2 on the horizon (allows miners to construct their own blocks while in a pool) the similarities will be even less.
This is easily disproved: Pinecone (disclaimer: I work there) also supports live index updates... "no matter the scale." I think their marketing folks have gone a little far, and I say that as a marketing person.

Git Merge vs. Rebase: Which to Use and When
:) It's not just the 400K jobs; I think that Amazon's logistics capabilities helped make the practicalities of soft lockdowns and limiting your outside trips substantially more bearable in the early part of the pandemic.

Amazon's deliveries avoided literally billions of in-person interactions during the peak uncertainties of C19. Bezos didn't start Amazon with that in mind, but it sure did help when called upon.

Then, people had the unmitigated gall to complain that Amazon made a lot of money during that time period. Well no shit; they provided a ton of value to hundreds of millions of people...
Not personally into crypto much, but wouldn’t proof-of-identity for those who want to vote be enough? Those who simply want to use the system (to send/receive) need not disclose themselves, but those participating in the ledger ought to have to unmask themselves so that when something goes horribly wrong there’s a person to point at/sue/whathaveyou…
Hey amigo, I founded the site, am not sure what you mean by legit, we are a private members club of information security professionals, who write and publish alongside each other. We do not monetise content, have any sponsors, or try and make money.

So we are as legit as any bunch of hackers publishing online could be :)
Every time one of these "statements" happens I'm reminded of what Palmer Luckey said about Oculus when Facebook bought them, or what Jan Koum said about WhatsApp. How long before Dylan leaves to "spend time with family"?

US M2 money supply has grown 40% compared to pre-COVID, 220% in the last decade. If your salary hasn't matched that, you are literally earning less in real terms.
For each unreasonably banned user, there are 5 concerned ones and 100 ones who joined the platform blue-eyed. It'll be hard for the few of us to fight the network effect.
Obviously it might be a slightly futile task given the size of the dataset, but would there be value in adding community captions to some of the images? I'd be happy to spend 15 minutes captioning the worst-labelled (maybe cosine similarity between stabdiff im2txt and the prompt?) images in the set / reviewing other people's captions, and if you can get enough people on board you could probably get through a not-insignificant number of new captions. Equally a risk of anti-ai groups sabotaging this process though
Perhaps it's worth to consider taking them to a small claims court. I don't know what the odds of winning are but it's quite the hassle for a company.

You haven't disappeared as you promised, you keep replying. Please keep your promises when you make good ones with positive outcomes like disappearing. It makes you seem insincere when you keep promising to disappear, but don't. There's a huge difference between disappearing because somebody actually antagonized you, and disappearing because you couldn't prove your point and decided to act antagonized because people wouldn't believe your wild claims without proof.
I've never been implored so much in one sitting. I love it. Great job.
The problem of not having a definition is over-emphasized. There is a widespread consensus that there is something that is an important part of human behavior and being human (and exhibited to some degree by many other species, not to mention extinct hominids), and that concept is well-enough constrained that we can study it. Defining it is something we will work towards as we come to understand it better.

I suspect the idea that we need definitions first comes from education, where much of what we know is presented in this manner. This is rarely, however, the way our initial understanding was achieved - just consider how our concepts and definitions of 'energy' and 'matter' have changed over time.
> I used Fireworks for years for web design stuff

I still use it as my primary web/ui design tool and in fact am stuck on MacOS Mojave because I'd have to say goodbye to it forever if I upgraded.
That's still not good enough, and not what they meant at all.

Disabling network access entirely is a great safety switch for apps that claim to be offline-only, or to ensure apps literally can't send your data away. I knew I'd trust a lot more apps this way.
NFC seems strictly better than QR code payments to me.
Yeah but Electrolux is still a good brand.

Better example is AKG which used to be well respected for making high-quality headphones, until Samsung bought their parent company and started just using their logo from 2017 on cheap crap.

The original engineers formed a different company Austrian Audio (no article on wiki apparently)

Do feel free to write your own blog post about ML.

But, if you want my take on it, there's a lot of hype and not much substance there.

There's a good article at https://garymarcus.substack.com/p/did-googleai-just-snooker-...
Don't real symptoms cause actual damage?
The DAO hard fork was an exceptional event that occurred in 2015, under very unique circumstances inherent to the world's first smart contract platform experiencing the world's first major smart contract hack, and has not been repeated since.

Ethereum at this point - with seven years of autonomous operation and no repeats of DAO-like hard forks - has proven to be an immutable and credibly neutral settlement layer.
Actually, given that CPU / GPU hash power is not important anymore, it's much eco-friendly to run nodes on Amazon Firecracker VMs than hundreds of machines.
There is MUCH more to it than that. I have discovered HUNDREDS of allegations going back a decade. I found different glass door posts from a couple of years ago talking about child porn, HUNDREDS of Trustpilot reviews from Patreon users saying that they have reported CP and been ignored, in many cases those reporting CP had their accounts suspended. I have spoken to a number of people who have told me that they have repeatedly tried to report what look like organised CP rings on Patreon, only to be ignored time and time again. Then there is that petition signed by 100k people to try and persuade Patreon to stop monetising CSAM content.

How much more smoke do you need to convince you that there is a fire?
This feels like the only way to move forward.

I can't wait for EU to propose something similar to fix these kind of issues, or a minimum level of customer service per every thousand users.
Do yall have a technical blog? I would love to both understand the problem and methods, domains yall cross (eg biometrics and fuzzy matching?), and how yall integrate in different industries.

A good search partner is hard to find. PageRank is fun and all, but I believe better methods exist these days.
And I think this is a very valid viewpoint. Clearly, many people think the same, otherwise we'd already have non-reversible transactions in the conventional banking system.
Thanks, but the post you linked is making me irrationally angry. Why does a gas pump card reader need full internet connectivity?! It's outrageous! Just use the two wires to talk to a head unit in the building! Then it brings up the gas pump advertising screens which are already a sore point for me (two conveniently located stations have these, so I can't go there anymore because I find the accompanying audio intolerable).

The whole situation smells like it involves a lot of vendor lock-in, too (which I always hate to see).
An alternative reading is that the lowest classes are pretty stubbornly stuck in the 'scraping by' level of wealth, and inflation results from an increase in money supply, especially to the degree that the elevated money supply goes into circulation on routine spending. Our normal version of inflation is less crazy because it all goes into skyrocketing startup valuations and stock prices, trickles down from there into the real estate around centers of those activities, and so on in a loop with significant lag.

Maybe a bit like taking the normally time-released drug of low interest rates, then crushing it and snorting it straight into the entire populace.
wow great

It's kind of amazing to me that we've reached the point where using open source is not a matter of idealism, but rather risk management to guard against the threat of product regressions due to consumer-hostile takeovers.

In the case of the user who started this thread, there's no option to 'host it yourself'. They're trying to be part of the community that Discord hosts. Discord is stopping them. You can't just fire up an IRC server and ask everyone on the Discord to move because you can't join in. That's not how life works.
Analog monitors like the CRTs back then suffered from artifact colors[1], LCDs do not. Games that were designed to account for these artifact colors do indeed look worse on LCDs.

Individual rights do not trump collective rights in all cases. If I have the right to shoot a gun, that does not mean I have the right to shoot a gun while people are down range. This lack of nuance in your argument is absurd. The selfish part is suggesting that your individual rights trump everyone else’s rights.

Specific individual rights can and do trump collective rights, but this is a conversation we have to have as a society. For instance, if I am down range, my individual right trumps everyone’s right to fire a gun down that range. It’s the flip side of the same coin. Positive freedoms are zero sum with negative freedoms. Realizing that is step one to having a productive conversation about these things.

Once we get past that fact, by realizing that it is zero sum, and your individual right takes away some collective right (and vice versa) we can look at specific instances and debate those. But when the conversation begins with “you’re taking away my rights”, the rest of the conversation is guaranteed to be unproductive, because, depending on your perspective, both outcomes take away someone’s rights.

OP is arguing about us stop relying on over centralized corporations and to start using the tools (that already exist!) based on free software where such type of arbitrary rulings are impossible.

Your response is "mah regulation".

On Hacker News of all places, I'd expect that people were at least willing to take control of their lives and actions, and not to cry from oppressive authority to another, thinking that we can only choose the lesser of two evils.

Where has that spirit gone, really? Is it a generational thing?
Microsoft bought GitHub years ago and announced the "sunsetting" of the Atom editor (a GitHub-company project) and its official ecosystem a few months ago. The archiving of Atom and all related projects will occur on Dec. 15th, 2022: https://github.blog/2022-06-08-sunsetting-atom/.
My understanding, pieced together from conversations over the years with Adobe employees, is that they do try to do this, and they don’t have success with it. I have no idea if they’ve done something like this with a Figma-like goal, though.
I remember older version of this extension was distributed under GPL... maybe someone can dig it up and put it on github.
In at least less than 1 year or two, Dylan Field will leave Adobe / Figma.

This is the entire operation of how companies with tons of VC capital just work.

Now I see commenters complaining about 'anti-trust', 'anti-competition', etc. Given that you are now doing this, why not also complain about the very practises that violate anti-trust laws and anti-competition laws regularly done by Big Tech in general by blocking those deals and giving massive fines in the billions which will deter these sort of acquisitions and anti-competitive behaviour, like what happened to Plaid and VISA for example and the up-coming investigations into the Microsoft, Activision-Blizzard acquisition, etc.

We should not turn a blind eye on this and do nothing because it is Amazon, Google, Microsoft, VISA, or even Adobe or any other company that is part of Big Tech and does acquisitions like this.
WhatsApp also got significantly worse over time: copycat features like stories which add bloat in an effort to boost "engagement", businesses using WhatsApp for the thing we all knew was eventually going to happen i.e. ads over WhatsApp, and the new privacy policy and deeper integration with facebook nobody asked for.
Handing over a copy of my biometrics to a VC-funded-and-ran private company is about the last thing I'd want to do in my life, just below taking said eyeballs out.
The chargeback is always there, in the background, keeping people honest, broadly speaking. I generally wave my watch at something and carry on with my day, due to the innovative work of Americans. I mean probably a few Germans at Apple, but they're Americans now, and that's what matters.

But having a clunky thing at home you stick your debit card in is okay too! I guess.
You cannot self-host identity. You cannot self-host a social graph.

If people would host "abc liked my tweet" and "xyz follows me" on their own server, then everybody would claim that Billie Eilish liked all their tweets and Joe Biden is their best friend.

People go on social media for the social graph.

You can do that via a central authority (and live in fear that everything is taken from you) or you can do it via cryptographic proof. Self hosting is not a solution.

You also cannot host identity.

If your domain gets stolen from you (search for the horror stories on Google or HN search), your identity is gone. Nothing you can do against it, since you are at the mercy of authorities again: The registrars.
Why bother paying more for a slow database if you’re not going to rely on the one feature which can’t be done faster, cheaper, and more reliably than the current financial system?
Pre-WordPress.
That should absolutely not apply to Discord, Google Mail, or Amazon AWS, because those are all private companies restricting the use of their private property. You may call them "public spaces" or "public services" but that is an abuse of the word "public".
Sure it's their current offering. But they want to be an "Identity Platform". They have just proven they're a political platform too.

> Why are we blocking Users from access to Okta Service?
> In support of our customers’ and Okta’s existing contractual obligations with respect to U.S. export control laws, Okta customers are not permitted to access the Okta Service (including the Auth0 Platform) from Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, the regions of Crimea, Luhansk or Donetsk without prior approval from the U.S. Government. This restriction applies even if a User is temporarily visiting any of the aforementioned regions.

Total utter bs. Next they will start filtering your business, customers etc.. Then just stop all together, because there's always something not right within larger orgs.

> Can Okta handle these OFAC controls for me?
> As a Customer, you are responsible for ensuring your own compliance with applicable laws. As outlined in the Okta Master Subscription Agreement, you must use the Okta Service in compliance with applicable laws.

How can you be responsible if you don't have the power to make decisions anymore? If they think they know better, they should face the consequences when something goes wrong (some north Korean login for example)

US export controls don't apply to other countries. Why don't they have foreign entities for this? Because even if they have, they don't want to, because they became a political vehicle. A political vehicle for the CEO who thinks he's smarter than anybody who has a different opinion or who wants more power/influence, or maybe some bribes, I mean lobbyists at the door.

These days everybody seems to be a politician, pro athlete, doctor, scientist, code, entrepreneur, etc.

The answer is to promote these posts more, not less. Give services an incentive not to be stupid.

That's trying to answer abuses with more and harsher abuses.

HOLY SMOKES AT LEAST. In my view someone needs to go to prison, in my view they have enabled crime rings to distribute child porn on the platform for over a decade. Patreon needs seriously investigating by law enforcement, they KNEW about this for years and did not act. Their recent statement said nothing, and clearly indicated that they do not see a problem, its a scandal.

I have discovered HUNDREDS of allegations going back a decade. I found different glass door posts from a couple of years ago talking about child porn, HUNDREDS of Trustpilot reviews from Patreon users saying that they have reported CP and been ignored, in many cases those reporting CP had their accounts suspended. I have spoken to a number of people who have told me that they have repeatedly tried to report what look like organised CP rings on Patreon, only to be ignored time and time again. There is also petition signed by 95k people to try and persuade Patreon to stop monetising CSAM content, the signs are all there.

Am not sure how much more smoke needs to billow out of this tech company before people realize that there is a serious problem over there.
But when these big corps buy and potentially kill products shrinking competition, where the hell is antitrust to be found? Like are the guys there sleeping well? Would they like a massage?
In the spirit of The Meaning of Liff, I think the Douglas Adams inflection point should be christened something else.

Technical Watchmaking: Central Impulse Chronometer
A good tactic may be to teach D instead. It's rather close to C (especially with the -betterC flag which disables among other things the garbage collector) but fixes some of the more egregious flaws. No spiral rule. Proper modules. No preprocessor (but CTFE and mixins instead). It stays close enough to C that undefined behavior exists but far enough away to avoid nasal demons.

Yes, of course, the industry designs vehicles specifically to pass the tests.

But the tests themselves are very comprehensive, both in the US and in the EU. It's like having 100% code coverage in your unit/integration/regression tests, and then doing test-driven development.
> I really don't understand why it got so popular

Because enough people never contact support for it to not be a major problem, I assume.
you may be able to participate in servers that have bridges, like to irc or matrix. that's a minority, though.
Only if your only goal is monetary gains. A group could still want to if they only wanted to trash a particular chain.
I disagree. Some amount of boilerplate is preferred versus abstracting everything. Boilerplate can be frustrating to write, and fiddly boilerplate absolutely should be abstracted, but in general it should makes the flow of logic easier to follow.

> At my day job, I spend more time thinking of better ways to do X, rather than writing boilerplate code :)

Not that you are suggesting otherwise, and I am being somewhat facetious, but oftentimes boilerplate is preferred to boiling the ocean.
I noticed that Judith Butler has like, very similar views on performing gender than i do, except we draw different conclusions from it. For her its like some part of how life should be, while i wish people would stop it and focus on more important things. This might be a matter of personal opinion.
