I think this conversation is an example of people living in different worlds, and it's the type of thing that has been created out of the place that things like what I linked above have pushed the discourse.

In my world: the nazis were essentially a psychotic death cult who engaged in genocide. They didn't work up to this. This was core to their political ideology starting in 1920.

But there seems to be another world where the Nazis were just some bad guys with some bad ideas or something, and in that world random politicians who say anything outside of mainstream, American leftwing political ideology are "nazis".

Obviously I think that's bad, since like I said before I think its a form of holocaust denial. In fact this was something that soldiers and journalists worried about when they found the nazi death camps at the end of the war. They worried that in the future people wouldn't believe that this had happened, or wouldn't understand how bad it was.

It seems like that has happened. I think that in a large part mass media like twitter has facilitated it.

What I would say is: please study history. The nazis weren't just some bad guys. They tried to kill several entire races of people, and erase their existence from history. They succeeding in killing a lot of them before we were able to stop them. It cannot be overstated how evil the Nazis were, and I wish people would stop trying to downplay this.
I was hoping an online service would pop up where you can use someone else's hardware for a small fee and generate images. I really want to give it a try but only have a gtx970 so don't think it will work.

I still miss flash. I mean, it was crap it a lot of ways. BUT it brought creative people and the ability to create a website (or other interactive fun thing) closer than they’ve ever been.

Why adobe didn’t create a great html5 authoring application (basically the same as flash) I’ll never know.
I just found out about this tool, I felt like it's a shame not to share this with others! Awesome tool, going to do more digging on it.
Yeah honestly this community is incredibly disappointing at times. This is barebones basic stuff to try to make America a little more equitable as a society. In response we get a gnashing of teeth about how anti-racism measures are actually racist… it’s like I’m reading trash comments from a right-wing rag instead of a website to discuss advances in technology.
it becomes a marginally rational choice to defer whatever you're able to though. even if it's only $500, that's $500 more in your pocket.
It's possible to have DRM that's open source using cryptography.
Does it help if you run slower? Does it happen more during spring (i.e. could it be allergies)?
> Why not just judge people based on their individual self and content of their character, rather than their skin colour...

Indeed. Unfortunately there's a mountain of research showing we're pretty hopeless at doing that. And it's not just skin colour (or sex, or other obvious physical markers) - even knowing someone's name causes implicit bias when judging suitability for employment/romantic compatibility etc.
But "anti-racist" shouldn't mean "favouritism towards historically marginalised races", rather "checks and balances to prevent further entrenchment of implicit biases".
> How much higher do the walls need to become before it's no longer reasonable to live outside Apple's garden?

Do you mean "How much longer do I have to watch people enjoy their cake before I give in and want to eat the cake too?"

I find it pretty absurd that people demand Apple do things differently because their choice of alternative feels the need to follow Apple instead of leading themselves.
I remember famo.us - "a free, open source JavaScript framework that helps you create smooth, complex UIs for any screen." as they say on the 'deprecated' website: http://deprecated.famous.org/

I never signed up for their pre-release access program thing. I only learned of their existence when the company's twitter account, and then the company's founder's twitter account, started following me. I was, of course, very flattered - I had less than 30 followers at the time! Six months later the company pivoted and most of the devs got fired. These two events are in no way related!

I think some people experience great suffering because other people have money and won't stop looking for ways to get all of it.
You could do animation and audio without Flash 10+ years ago. :shrug:
> Which fixed that thing (memorizing openings).

Yeah but the fix doesn't come for free, you're giving up a lot in exchange. Which is why 960 isn't a replacement for classicial, it's another chess variant that people play in addition to classical chess.
A forest fire might be good for the forest as a whole, but that's a cold consolation to any particular tree or rabbit who ends up turned to cinder.
1. Atlas Shrugged
- made me understand the complex relationship between politics and the business world

2. The Code Book
- gave me a great appreciation for cryptography and its historical importance

3. The Swerve
- made me understand how the renaissance came to be and also showed me what great writing and unique research can accomplish
How many millions of laptops they have sold so far? Are they selling over 10 million a year thanks to the superb repairability?

I like Framework, it's nice concept and if I had a few thousand dollars expandable money I would definitely buy one to fiddle with.
You made my day. I did not even know about this. This is one of the series I enjoyed the most in my whole gaming life. And there has been quite a bit of that.

On top of that... I own a Switch!!!! :D
Why wouldn’t they be happy? Nothing bad has happened to them. I know some are grumpy on Twitter but none have articulated a real harm. It’s just as likely this is good for them, like how Microsoft really improved GitHub.
> Someone warned years ago that <insert extremely specific thing>

No, the gp said:

> while pretending they weren't supporting google's Chrome monopoly

Monopoly means Google's interests will be served rather than the user's. This means taking away things that are of value to users / users losing control over features / etc. Like proxy extensions, yes.
Ms Teams “leaks” names of queues, attendants and agents to external callers
Just stating that the money is somewhere out there in the economy is rather facile. It's not as if there's some big vault full of cash that we can draw from to pay for nursing homes. That money is currently being spent on or invested in other things. Consumers are already tapped out. On the government side, there is no political will to drastically cut other spending or raise taxes to pay more nursing home workers. The industry is also not very amenable to automation.
You should play 1 and 2 just because they’re bloody brilliant games
The biggest issue with stable coins at this time is that none of the primary stable coin providers will agree to follow GAAP and have trusted 3rd party audits. As a result, it is hard not to see the whole cryptocurrency ecosystem as a house of cards on an unstable foundation.

Will Glo allow 3rd party audits by an accredited firm? If so, THAT is how you'll get people to switch over.

Don't forget that if there are many different people calling you out for telling lies, it's obviously targeted harassment.
To be fair, now those ads are JS and do the same thing.
This is how tournaments are run between engines. Computers do not play the first 10 moves or so, which instead are prepared by humans to provide imbalanced positions where both sides can win.
I believe there's a pretty common approach implied here that assumes that SQL DDL is what you start from. It's nicely aligned with how RDBMS schema changes are usually applied too (i.e. a DDL script to make changes and possibly another to roll them back):

* define you DB schema in a SQL script under version control

* apply the script to your local DB instance, re-generate JOOQ classes (under version control too)

* update the service logic

* commit all the changes

* in prod, apply the script and then re-deploy the code
Almost none. Combustion heat is a rounding error compared to sunlight heat trapped by greenhouse gases.
Tech4Bad: When Do We Say No?
Okay, let's discuss it then. Why do I need Apple's consent to repair the device I paid for? Why is there no way for me to (even temporarily) disable this feature if I actually want to fix my phone?
Or leave your MacBook at a repair shop with texts and emails to various VIPs, etc on it… oh wait.
That makes sense. I feel like it should be spelled CheerPex
Brave has publicly declared support for Manifest v2 in perpetuity, no? They even seem to be pondering how to distribute v2 extensions post-sunset in Google Chrome[0]

The barrier of entry has been on the floor ever since Steam discontinued Greenlight and started just allowing everyone on the platform. But at the same time they invested a lot in better content discovery: personalized recommendations, the discovery queue, curators you can follow, etc.

If you're building the next rehash-of-popular-concept, this asset generator at best saves you a couple minutes shopping the Unity Asset Store, and selecting the right store-bought texture in blender. But it will raise the bar of what's possible with new, innovative settings, which I'm really looking forward to.
Alternatively, if you want to experience the previous games but don’t feel like playing them you can watch full playthroughs of the previous games on YouTube without commentary.

For example:

Curse of Monkey Island - No Commentary Play Through - THE SCUMM BAR - https://youtu.be/zfAo3O2qZR0

The same channel that posted said video has posted full play through no commentary videos of other games in the series also.

I watched a few of these a while ago during night time as while I was falling asleep. As a mix between background noise and something that I paid some amount of attention to. Same way that a friend of mine likes to put on movies sometimes when going to sleep.
You're essentially saying "if you don't like it, leave."

I hope you understand that it's attitudes like yours that are driving otherwise moderate people to join the GOP and become conservative voters.

And you're placing the onus on the contributing members of society who just wish to be left alone. Rather than having the criminals correct or stop their behavior.
Hey HN!

I downloaded and parsed through 100M prices negotiated by Blue Cross of Washington (Premera Blue Cross) for all their in-network healthcare procedures. I've compressed about 5TB of JSON data into much easier to work with tables that you can explore yourself. Excited to hear about what you find!
It is not a coincidence that they released it on International Talk Like a Pirate Day: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Talk_Like_a_Pira...

Better off with a strong shallow field, high intensity rare earth magnet attenuated by a removable stainless steel shield that erases the data only if the USB key is removed from a holster incorrectly, thereby removing the stainless steel shield.
People are free to promote whatever crackpot ideas they wish. The question is whether MIT should provide a platform for everyone.

Since there are infinite crackpot ideas but only one Kresge Auditorium, the MIT community must make value judgments about what speakers and ideas are worthy, and which ones are not.

No institution should be compelled to provide a platform for all speakers and ideas. Some speakers and ideas are worthy of MIT, and many are not.

MIT faculty and leadership should embrace their fiduciary duty to make these hard judgments. They should grapple with what it means for speakers and ideas to be worthy, and what speech should not receive MIT legitimacy and amplification.

Instead this statement evades all of that by pretending to support all speech as long as it's legal.
sick → such :)
The rock-splitting contest is exploring Elrond's relationship with the elves.

It isn't about smashing rocks. It's about Elrond submitting to a Dwarvish custom and making a not-terrible showing (for an elf). It demonstrates the respect he has for them and shows the half-measure of respect he earns from them.

That is the key scene of the episode. The reconciliation would not have been possible without it.

We have similar problems in our organisation. I wonder if it has any relationship with the salesman travelling algorithm.
> Depends on how stable the signals being used are. Some can be very durable.

How so? We have even deprecated IP Addresses in our database as we found they no longer have any sort of day to day accuracy (too many devices jumping networks constantly) or there are too many shared IPs for work networks. It seems like most fingerprints are just IP address + random identifiers.
Google doesn't terminate TLS on "the servers". It gets terminated on the frontend load balancers (GFE), which is presumably where the attack mitigation happened.
It's got nothing to do with that correlation. My point is that it closes off opportunities for smart-and-poor people. (Today's system also has drawbacks, but let's not forget that it does afford opportunities to people who wouldn't otherwise have them.)
Since you haven't provided any "good authors" and only continue with your anti-crypto tirade, then let me guess... Schneier, Diehl and White.
Ron Gilbert and Dave Grossman both involved, I'm not sure I care for the art style but looking forward to being a kid again!
I think the best thing is that for some sites that has many ads, subscriber content, accept cookie pop-ups and/or captchas you will sometimes see that these are all gone and you get an ad free, full text version without pop ups and captchas. But that's only the case for websites that do not check for the origin IP and just rely on the user agent.
Is it? What leads you to believe that democracy is a stable state?

My take: Democracy is not the natural state, therefore requires a lot of psyops to remain in place. It’s not democratic, but well, can you speak up about it? No. Or if you can, will you? Probably not worth it. You’re “happy enough”.

My converging evidence: France’s 1789 democracy was set up by gillotining the very person who would have gotten all the majority votes (He was organizing a referendum and the parliament couldn’t let this happen); The EU wasn’t born as a democracy and we only ask people’s opinions when it’s trending up; etc. there are so many examples that actually-democratic systems are an unstable mess and superficially-democratic systems are the norm.

The idea is that people believe they live in democracy, and psyops the only way to reach this state. True democracy might be a naive dream.
Vice City is by far my favorite GTA game and every few years I spin it up for a bit on my old PS2. They've moved the series more towards some kind of realism since then, but I love the arcade like qualities of Vice City and GTA 3. The whole city is a great parody of Miami, with constant parties and vibrant colors, seedy clubs and funny radio shows, etc. The general action and driving quality is more cartoonish and video game like to me than the newer versions. GTA5 by comparison feels so much more stiff (and the GTA 6 leak video looked to be following directly in GTA5's footsteps).

Well he does get credence for predicting invasion of Ukraine (which was also thought to be comically apocalyptic). Twice. He's been remarkably consistent in calling bad times for china and it's certainly gotten worse over there in the last year.

I think there are a few other things that have lined up, like Sri Lanka collapse being a bellwether for his forecasts.
Not to mention I've dropped mine a LOT. scratched up screen, dings in the sides, everything. (No case/protection at all too) It definitely withstands daily use. Dropping it 4-5 times a day every day however probably slowly chips away at the sturdiness of the device.
Okay but Android phones of that era did support Flash and it was one of the advantages Android had at the time (Motorola Droid era) that they were advertising heavily. The iPhone doesn't support Flash, Android does. Therefore you want an Android phone to access Flash content.
I don’t think there is a boolean pureness flag, rather a spectrum.
Haskell can also introduce arbitrary side effects in any code with some unsafe escape hatches, but sure, the common case doesn’t employ that, so it is a bit more pure than Clojure.
Does the 14 Plus have the redesigned midframe as well?
Madoff recovery amounts are based on how much cash the investor put in, not what their statement said their balance was just before the crash. So long-term holders get none of their supposed profits. The longer someone invested with Madoff, the more they lost.

The recovery project is only for direct investors with Madoff. Those who bought into "feeder funds" which fed into Madoff's fund don't get anything directly. There's other litigation involving feeder funds, which can recover something from the Madoff recovery and pay it out to their holders.

The recovery initiative got back billions of dollars through clawback lawsuits, where they went after people who'd cashed out of Madoff's scheme before the crash. Those people were effectively participants in the scam, and they profited from it, so they don't get away free.

If you can track the money, you can un-do a Ponzi. The amount of legal effort is huge, though.
Well, the part of the China's economy that works isn't centrally planned.

They do seem to have a very planned part (looks like so from the other side of the world), that isn't internationally competitive. But simply claiming that their economy is planned is clearly wrong.
Are proxy extensions just a hook to set the http_proxy?

I always have a hard time with chrome. because where firefox has a config area to set the proxy chrome wants to use an environment variable. so do these proxy extensions fill this missing config gap?

I mean, my daughter goes to public school, leading a mostly "cookie cutter" existence, and several of her peers who she interacts with there have memberships in a swimming pool of some sort or another.

Given that we wanted her to be able to swim with them, we paid a professional to give her swimming lessons.

She's now 11, but any time in the last ~5 years, tipping over in a canoe or kayak would not have been fatal for her (even without a life vest).
> To date, no HN discussion of this crypto-pairing of the phone to its parts has revealed an alternative solution that would be effective at Apple’s scale for preventing phones from being hacked by a parts swap while also allowing any part to be swapped in

Random-ass repair shops are not going to expend the effort of putting in fake parts to hack you to.. hack a couple of thousand dollars off of your account and then get caught due to it easily being traceable to the repair shop?

The only people who need protection from hardware-swap hacks are people like journalists. And if you are one, you shouldn’t be giving people physical access to your device regardless.

Here is a simple solution: give the normal user (after a passcode unlock) a pop-up: ‘your X has been replaced. Do you wish to authorize this new part for use with your iPhone?’.

Make it so that if your phone is set to the new Lockdown mode, you cannot authorize any new parts.
As a developer and past indie dev that creates awful art for any projects I take on, this is incredibly exciting. We're getting closer to the reality where an engineer can build a full game or experience completely on their own and maintain a high level of artistic quality.
Here is an exact excerpt from the license text:

> You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these ways: (...)

The only requirement is that people who get the product (not the public, not the owners of the work it's based on, not anybody else) are also able to get the source code under the same license. You can totally have a private fork, you just:

* Have to give the source to the people who get the binaries (for example by giving people access to the private fork when they pay)

* Those sources have to be under the GPL too (which means in particular that those people can put it in a public repo if they want but don't owe anybody anything)

So the situation you describe is NOT a violation, unless anyone is withholding source code, changing to an incompatible license, or going after people exercising the rights they were granted by the license.
Globally that's true, but perhaps more relevant when considering the part of the biosphere that humans primarily inhabit? To what degree is the urban heat island effect caused by artificially heated air (including waste heat from A/Cs), for instance?
You can even pay it monthly, which probably costs $9.99 per month. Anecdote: I was on my seventh monthly payment when I accidentally smashed unassembled IKEA furniture on my phone at an IKEA store and broke the entire back glass and cameras. The technician noticed small cracks on the screen too that didn't actually bother me, but bothered him enough to swap the entire device.
But if the clients are your PC and the other guy PC, the keys are stored on both the PCs and not on the server side. This is why it’s end to end.
Both M1 and M2 are classics. I personally really loved Curse of Monkey Island as well.

If you don't have time or energy for that though, I'll echo that watching a let's play is also very good.
Not yet, but they are still scaling. Is that your measure of success? 10 million units?
> maybe it is my European arrogance

It could be. Social cohesion is a lot easier in monoethnic countries, for better or for worse; and in countries where the monoethnicity is changing like Sweden (where a full quarter of the population is not ethnically Swedish), voters are putting political parties in power that promise to restore it by some combination of reducing immigration or enforcing integration.

In the meantime, the dystopia of the United States is such that the state of Mississippi, often panned both within the US and without as a "literal third-world country", has a higher per capita disposable income than Germany. The image that you have of half the population either struggling to stay alive or basically dead is not true to reality.
The amount of work it would take to fork Chromium and maintain a working secure browser with MV2 hooks into the browser internals would be so large that you'd need a dedicated team whose job it is to constantly backport upstream Chromium changes and ensure they still work with the old MV2 subsystem. That would take a lot of time and money.
>The idea of polishing dev tools used to seem counter-intuitive to me, but I’ve come around on that. The last thing you want is to dread doing your job, and if you can make parts of your job joyful, then I think you’re likely to be more productive and do better work.

hmm?

what's the difference between internal tools

and normal stuff like docker, compilers, ci/cd tools, package managers, etc?

it's the same shit
Responding to the first part of your comment, I’m glad to hear that!
