Some necessary questions:

- Does this use any blacklist to prevent URL shortener looping (i.e. using multiple URL shorteners on top of each other to bypass the checking), or preventing any potentially malicious sites?
- Does this have rate limits? URL shorteners get abused quite regularly, so this should be necessary.
It's simply not practical to determine with certainty who owned an Android phone during the time that Google violated the antitrust laws, and divide the payout among them.
The problem is that during the pandemic, many scientists used their positions to advocate for particular policies rather than sticking to the science. There's nothing wrong in principle with a person being both a scientist and an advocate, but ethically they should make it clear which role they are playing at any given time. The actual science was mostly very weak, and couldn't reasonably be used as justification for any particular public policy.
I don't think the article means to suggest that you let your house go completely to the elements - only that you maintain a lower more economical temperature. How is mold going to grow more at 55F than it would at 70F? As long as you ventilate moisture and minimize condensation you can keep the mold under control.

They didn't just let it rot. They actively ruined it.
qrcodes are superior for most printed usage.

It never occured to me to type an url from a radio or TV message and I've never heard anyone spelling an url from a url shortener. All TV/radio broadcasters will rather tell you check for more information in "name of the show" on "domain of the TV/radio channel" or their social media feed. They all have a web presence anyway.

Another search engine which can be considered general, is not based on Lucene and is not less powerful than Elasticsearch/Solr is Manticore Search [1]

The issue isn’t that MOC is gone, because who cares if we lose one contributor, or how much on an apology (if any) Dan owes him. It’s that we can’t trust HN’s moderation not to keep doing what they did to him, which is spend over a year trying to destroy his reputation. Who knows who else they’ve done that to?

Actually, link shorteners are just a symptom of the problem.

The problem is the DNS system itself. It is the reason that your email address gets spammed, and the reason that you can DDOS websites, etc.

DNS is a glorified search engine, and it is only really used for root urls like mydomain.tld . It's pretty much only good in two contexts:

1) for when people dictate a specific domain name verbally to someone, and even then, spelling errors can occur.

2) advertising a URL somewhere to a landing site. But you can just use a QR code that people can scan, or a link in a webpage.

Everything else may as well be at non-human-readable domain names, in which case you can even use distributed hash tables instead of DNS. Perhaps one day browsers will allow plugins realize their own schemas, such as ipfs://hjkldfjhsdfkjgsdhfgsdf and the plugin would do the routing instead of DNS. Is that currently possible with standard browser extensions?
The first episode of the US office is pretty much a shot-for-shot remake of the first episode of the UK office. After that they diverged a fair bit.
It is maybe understandable but also too long for lots of content.

You want it to be as short and memorable as possible for anything which has limited "screen" time. Which is basically everything, i.e. Radio broadcasts, video streams/adverts, Billboards you drive by, advertisements on websites etc.

What is missing here is a study of the desire to be alone.
Google makes twice more than Facebook in their annual profits and still Facebook can afford to pay the FTC's record fine and still continues with collecting more PII and violating the privacy of their users. $4B is essentially nothing and instead it should be the minimum fine for these companies.

Repeated violations from them should be in the significant multi-billions, much higher than this generous discount of a fine that the EU is asking for. This proves that they will do it again and won't change until the fines get higher than $10B.

I guess it's impossible to go 5 min without somebody wrecking the ecosystem. I don't understand how they can even manage to be incompatible, it's fucking Java, or more commonly these days just a wrapped PWA.
I think the key is that it feels like Steam-the-marketplace is merely making such tools available to individual developers/publishers of specific games.

Then if a game is an exploitative grindfest, blame falls on the dev/publisher for choosing to implement whatever-it-is.

Strawman. What if a scientist finds real evidence that goes against the zeitgeist. They'd have a hard time doing anything on today's climate tolatitarianism, no journal would publish them, they'd be outsed by the academic group think.

Your argument is dismissive and similar to flat earthers and hoaxers. I am not referring to climate deniers. I just want people to feel that there is room for questioning climate science with science.

The litmus test is this: It would be remarkably easy to publish fake climate science if a scientist want to, say due to ideological reasons, since we've completely silenced the criticism machinery in this area.

Strangely, the issue is similar to COVID.

Apps aren't being written _on purpose_ to rely on the allocator doing nothing with freed memory because that's not in its interface, and this change doesn't actually do anything to stop apps from reading freed memory.

There is no behavior that a program could legally rely on when reading freed memory. The assumption behind malloc/free is that freed allocations aren't used by the program anymore, so correct programs don't rely on reading freed memory at all and the allocator implementation is then free to do anything at all with the freed memory, it just turns out that the simplest behavior on the allocator side is to do nothing at all and just leave the freed memory as-is.

The only thing this does when speaking of programs reading freed memory is that it breaks existing incorrect programs that just happened to work because of an implementation detail of the allocator, and then later someone will write another incorrect program that just happens to work because the allocator now zeroes out freed memory. To actually stop the problem of programs reading freed memory, the OS side would have to enforce the use of memory-safe languages which by design cannot access unused memory.

The problem is, "reasonable" is subjective. Things like this need to be tethered to something. "The fee may not exceed 50% of the hourly federal minimum wage."
Show HN: I Built 0xFast Stream – 100x Faster Ethereum Block Downloads
Getting web3 data out of Ethereum nodes or node services is excruciatingly slow (at least days if not weeks). I had wanted a way to just download the blocks quickly since I started exploring the web3 space. Took me a bunch of trial and errors to get to a way where I can parse all the blocks since genesis within 12 hours. But, instead of moving on to the next thing, I put this service together over the last few days, so everyone can benefit.

I mean I also think you are right. I will observe that Java EE is now Jakarta EE. It is important because it means not much money is to be made by "Java EE" now, So Oracle has dumped it to Eclipse foundation as Jakarta EE.

It has also been sliced and diced in to multiple profiles, popular among them is Microprofile. It can be implemented with Apache tomcat instead of heavier Websphere/ Weblogic etc.

Another thing that happened is container term which in Java world would be Servlet/EJB containers is now associated with Docker containers. And Java enterprise containers fell out of fashion.

All these factor led do Java/Jakarta EE being also ran.

The movie that scarred me as a kid was Princess Mononoke. I remember my parents had a few friends over to watch it when it first released on DVD and they did this after my bedtime as I wasn't considered old enough to see but of course I snuck down to watch (I'm pretty sure they knew I was watching in retrospect).

The scene that I would relive in my nightmares repeatedly for years was the one where the protagonist's cursed arm comes to life in the middle of a pitched battle and everyone sets down their arms to watch as he pushes open a big gate or something. The music in this scene is foreboding, solemn, yet energetic, and the visual combined with the music evoked exactly the emotion I'm sure Miyzaki intended: dread at the vastness of the power of nature about which humans know naught, finally revealed in all its terrible horror. The prince's fate as a cursed person is supposed to feel worse than death and this was maybe my first time fully appreciating that concept in my short life, so it was doubly effective.
Why would someone choose to work with anniversary dates instead calendar dates in the first place?

The downside on the accounting side looks real, as it’s easier to invoice all your customers at the same date (beginning of the month), instead of invoicing them granularly during a month. Imagine you want to refund a customer. If invoicing period is from 15 Sept. to 14

However, if your invoicing period is from 1st Sept. to 31st Sept., if a refund occured during this period, you make sure to calculate it during the same month. Easier for your finance guys.

it's almost certainly their "drop in ES replacement" story (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32938630) since almost every other submission like this is "just" a search with a REST API.

The ban itself is not so much an issue as (a) the chilling effect on other contributors who are still here, (b) the collateral damage on Dan/Paul’s vendetta, like when the whole country of Thailand was banned for three days, and (c) the fact that these people spent years trying to smear an innocent man’s reputation.
Oh, the intense discussions just pointing out the Norwegian health authorities’ rationale for abandoning the AstraZeneca vaccine. The loud and certain statements that it was all based on selection bias.

Yes, this should be impossible -- scientists have no idea how they do it:

"Current models say the birds should conk out after three or four days, yet they fly for more than a week. “We can’t explain the physiology that allows them to do this,” Dr. Guglielmo said. “We know what the energy costs should be from wind tunnel experiments, but when we try to use our models, the energy costs we know they used are much lower.” The birds use half or less of the energy expected."

“Are they going into a suspended animation state when they are doing these monster flights?” Dr. Guglielmo asked. “I don’t think they are in a normal physiological state when they are doing this,”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jakarta_Project#Project_name

The longer story is that myself and a couple of guys from Italy (Stefano and Pier) took over Apache JServ, which was the only open source servlet engine at the time. We started to make some significant improvements and created Apache Java as an umbrella project. Apache made us some of the first non-httpd members.

We eventually got noticed by James Davidson at Sun, who was working on the servlet API and the reference implementation of that. Eventually, we decided to merge our efforts. Sun didn't like us using the Java (tm) name, so we picked the name of the conference room that we had the discussions in. That turned into renaming everything Apache Jakarta. It also involved giving us their reference implementation, which we named Apache Tomcat. The build system for Tomcat (because nothing good existed at the time) ended up turning into Apache Ant.

After insane amounts of work, we grew quite a bit as an organization. One day, I saw Doug Cutting working on the Lucene project and invited him under the Jakarta umbrella. That led to things like Hadoop and that whole ecosystem.

Edit: To clarify the JServ stuff. I had a web development company at the time. I wanted to work in Java and all the servlet stuff at the time was commercial products that were not very good. I found JServ, which one guy had built as a college/parttime project and then abandoned it, full of bugs and not finished.

So, I picked it up and started to work on fixes and then Stefano/Pier somehow found me. At the time, Apache didn't even have a way to host this stuff, so I ran it under my own (working-dogs.com) domain for about a year or so.

Eventually, through his work at Apache, Brian Behlendorf figured out there was a business in hosting code... so he started CollabNet. I quit my company and went to work with him and a bunch of other Apache folks. That's where subversion was created and Github eventually won that competition.
People who ate real food 150 years ago didn't need to brush their teeth at all and they had perfect teeth health even in old age.

Then when eg they went to cities, where sugary jam and white bread was avaiable, their teeth got destroyed.

Those who didn't eat that food for a long time and returned to eating their old-school food saw their teeth HEAL back, so this belief that "teeth can't heal from cavities" is bullshit.

But obviously if you keep on eating modern food the destruction of teeth is faster than they can heal.

Those who don't belive that may wish to read "weston price nutrition and physical degeneration".

Modern food (sugar) is the entry point for teeth destruction.

Therefore the solution is not flossing, it's the removal of modern sugary foods from the diet and a reversion to foods from ~200 years ago (this might also include the elimination of white flour and using oldschool wholegrain flour, spelt seems to be the best one since as far as I know it's been the least crossbread/gmo-ed).

I have suspected similarly. Skepticism and critical thinking are useful devices, but they can't always tell a truth from a lie. And even if they could-- humans aren't totally rational beings. Sometimes we believe lies because we want it to be true or because everyone around us does. Hell sometimes people believe things just to win an argument
Technically Google isn’t really making anyone use Play Store, either. They’re free to use AOSP and bundle their own set of apps, no?

In fact, I’d argue these rules the EU enforces are counter productive. Manufacturers should fork android and band together and create their own App Store. Google will either cede their position or we’ll have a viable, growing third ecosystem.

Not for superconductivity specifically, but for a broad range of properties of crystals, this is what the Materials Project[0] does.

Materials Project is funded by the US Department of Energy and uses supercomputing to simulate hundreds of thousands of different crystal structures on the quantum mechanical level to try and find those which have useful properties for practical applications.

This line of research is broadly called “materials discovery”, “materials design” (often “high throughput”) or even “materials genomics” depending on who you ask. These terms are provided in case anyone wants to search and read more about it.

I'd agree that the diversity of economic backgrounds seems limited. Although I'd caution that people tend to attempt to hide parts of their background they feel will make others and themselves uncomfortable, so your perception may be skewed by that.

It’s a very bold statement to say when you have no evidence that Boom would or even could ship an airplane that would put people’s lives in danger.

Theranos was not simply a company that made large promises that required leaps in technology and then lied repeatedly about having succeeded in making those leaps. They risked patient safety by providing phony blood test results. It’s important not throw around that epithet unless it’s earned.
