Ok first of all, the board of Paypal isn't in any way involved in terminating people's accounts. Secondly, it could for example be that Paypal's entire board believes deeply in an incredibly expansive definition of Free Speech and they personally donate and subscribe to the FSU. But that they've made a decision as fiduciaries for paypal that they cannot have a policy to conduct business with people like this person. You quite literally have no idea. And secondly, he has no idea why they suspended his account and their reason absolutely could be in line with a broad understanding of Free Speech.

This is purely a PR move.
They don't ban AI content because of fears of legal challenges, but because they see their entire business model fall to pieces. Why would anyone license images from them when they instead can generate any image for free?
They only ban AI images in order to make PR with "fears of legal challenges" in the hope that the message that AI generated content could be a legal risk will stick in the heads of people.
The hours of content and supporting the creators way more. YouTube music is included. it's not as good as Spotify but it works well enough, google play music was 100x better. still a bit bummed over that they canned it.

Thank you. It was entirely opaque for me from the "about" page what it allowed me to have "zero trust" in.

Also what the threat model is, and how ziti solves it.

I assume it does little to thwart traffic analysis?

Does it suffer from tcp-over-tcp problems?

Would be fair to say it's similar to a private Tor network with hidden services - but without anonymity and (probably much) higher throughput?
I use NewPipe and could not be happier. No ads. I can hide comments and recommendations. I only see what I search for. I set subscriptions as the startup tab so I can see only new content from my subscriptions- nothing more.
I suppose if you're willing to malloc big chunks and then potentially never have them released until the process terminates (as free often doesn't do this), one might call that writing one's own memory allocator despite not using mmap / VirtualAlloc.
I'm having a hard time imagining the audience for this product. EDU most likely isn't going to go with this product due to cost (and can get easily complex, imagine trying to juggle all the expansion ports being lost by students), and typical audiences for ChromeOS devices don't always overlap with audiences who want easy repairability (and most likely are purchasing the device for the lack of nuances that other OSes provide).
Great read.

Anedotally I've tried Gitpod, Cloud9 and Codespaces. Latency issues were the major thing that turned me off from every platform.

Also from a business pov, I've found most thin clients relatively expensive. so in the end of the day you don't save much on the endpoint side, but pay extra on cloud environments. That point is local market dependent though.

Finally, VS Code dev containers greatly improved our onboarding experience already, making cloud dev ends less appetizing.
Biden publicly called for Putin to be removed. This kind of follows what Chomsky has said, there is no path for PUTIN to de-escalate this situation. I don't see how Putin survives standing down, so he wont.

For a second I thought this was Saturn and said “don’t we have better images of this?” Then I actually read it’s Neptune and realized all our good images of it come from probes. It’s crazy JWST can just see the rings and the moons, incredible observatory.
For passive noise cancellation you would need to add material that absorbs/dampens sound, or you would create a baffle/muffler of some sort. The only alternative I know of is ANC.

This PC case fan (https://noctua.at/en/noctua_anc_project) is designed for ANC. It generates the inverted signal inside the fan.

But many people (okay, me at least) just want to watch one or two videos once a week, so a subscription makes no sense... The article also mentions how absurd un-skippable ads have become. The whole "casual YouTube watching experience" is a real pain now, and I do not know if focusing on hard-core tubers will prove right in the long run.
Yep, this is indeed the main reason behind this. We polled the community and found a pretty even split between several major distros. Rather than having inventory explosion from a large number of OS-specific SKUs, we optimized for shipping without an OS and writing easy to follow install guides.
When people don't pay for anything they have no leverage and a lot of people turn into assholes to try to get their way.

Generally issues that come in through paid support where people know they're going to get worked on are a whole lot more neutral or positive. Issues that come in through the public GH tracker have a strong tendency to get passive aggressive really quickly.
I understand that Youtube is in control of how it chooses to monetize its platform, how many ads it shows, and how annoying it makes its sales pitch for Premium. I am in control of how I react to that: so far, it's been to not pay them anything, and install ad blockers to prevent seeing as many commercials as possible. They provide a useful service, and as a freeloader I try not to pay for the service.

But, I don't feel entitled not to pay for the service. I don't get mad at them for trying to show me ads that I try not to watch. And if one day they decide to stop me from skirting their rules, I'll have to choose what to do next.
I used to think it was really interesting to attempt to turn all the human phenotypes into a list of underlying genotypes.

23&Me convinced me this process is mostly garbage. If at most you can conclude today that a complex phenotype has a complex underlying genotype: you're just confirming what we knew two decades ago, and not providing any useful answers for how the complex phenotypes come about, just that variations of the genotype lead to somewhat different outcomes. Totally boring.
Companies can offer multiple products.

I would think that the upgradability has significant environmental upsides for schools (who otherwise end up ditching computers fairly regularly)

I suspect it also means laptops with minor damage can be fixed more economically or at the very least can be cannibalised for the working parts to fit to other school laptops.
Certainly not tricked. They tell you. They also aggregate from many search engines, so it's not just Bing.
I suspect this sort of thing is fairly common.

I read an earlier edition of How Linux Works and definitely enjoyed it. Code examples were pretty sparse and it focused more on how the different concepts fit together, and I think only one or two parts were dense enough to be any trouble to read at all. Overall I felt like I actually understood how my system worked a lot better than before reading it.
"By calling the writers of the Vedas as nomads Doniger has shown her contempt for the Vedas and the Hindu religion, as she has done in many other places in her book."

Just throwing my 2c in. This sounds cool in theory, but after a couple years of doing the same thing, I've identified exactly one case of an org giving my email address to a third party, and it was a local car dealership giving it to siriusXM because a car I bought had hardware for the service.

That said, I absolutely love Fastmail and having my own domain for emails.
Stocks aren’t pegged to the dollar, you’re comparing apples and wrenches. Tether is much more like a money market fund than an equity or bond.

If your point is that there isn’t infinite liquidity at the current market price for an equity or bond, you’re correct, but it’s irrelevant since tether is nothing like an equity or bond.

The latest Ukrainian victories were due to NATO forces taking over so many core operations, it's basically Russia vs NATO.

This formal declaration by Russia is basically saying they are about to stop holding back. They have purposefully avoid destroying infrastructure like water and power in ukraine for an unusually long time. They also have been sending their b-c teams not their A-list because they wanted to save them.

This action pleases a great deal of the america military complex because money. At least it would have if American troops were in better shape, enlistments were dropping heavily, and troop fitness is dropping radically. The desire for the common man to die for his country has dropped significantly in Russia AND NATO countries.

So you will soon see the following, America will try to rebuild "patriotism" prior to instituting a draft. This is why the pentagon is reviewing all psyops, they are about to reverse the social engineering psyops in motion such diversity and "woke". Russia will push religion to build morale on their side.

I believe a draft in America will lead to disintegration, but only time will tell.

I'm a subscriber and I think you're missing the point. It's about the aggressive tactics to get people to subscribe. And even worse, they don't stop once you've subscribed. You pay them $15.99/month or whatever and then they still do full screen ads for additional product lifecycle steps (listening to music) or enroll family members. It's better on the web but the app experience is terrible. A side-effect I'm sure of the typical engagement/"experiment"-driven product management mindset, where what is not measured (consumer dissatisfaction) does not get managed.
EDIT: You beat me to the punch explaining "Private" on the generation page. Thanks! Original comment follows

-----

> anyone who sees it before will be able to see it after too

I can see where opinions might differ, but to me "Private" means nobody could see it even with a link, while "Unlisted" means I could send the link to anybody but it won't appear in my profile/the front page.

Maybe the middle ground if you don't want to bikeshed on naming things (relatable) would be including a small explanation alongside the checkbox during image generation, and also in the FAQ?
I might have been a user if I could access it without signing up to try it out.

Having to give my email, click a link, set up an account, etc. just to see what this is to decide if I want to use it, is far too high of a barrier to entry.

And thus the AI auto filtering arm race has begun.

New filters will appear to detect AI-generated images, then new models will be trained to bypass the filter, then upgraded filters will detect the images made by the new model, etc...

In the end tough it's likely that we won't be able to distinguish between a real image and an AI-generated image, it's only a question of time.
Sounds like what they are looking for is if one knows about Fermi estimation. Here's a (somewhat annoying) short video about it using an example, with a timestamp to skip the intro. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YzvupOX8Is&t=89s
> Russia says they are fighting NATO itself in Ukraine as a way to try and justify there armies poor performance in Ukrain

Says who? Cuz this awfully seems like western propaganda talking points, where it's always "we best, they worst"

It is an established fact that Ukraine's army was trained under NATO's instructors and since weapons are not clothing, being second hand doesn't really make it less effective.

(Un)fortunately there isn't really a benchmark against which one can compare Russia's successes or failures, all recent modern conflicts boiled down to hit and run tactics of safely bombing the complete shit out of some far away backwards country, assuming control of the flaming ruins, and then just dropping it for it to deal with the consequences by itself with no fear of repercussions, as it's just too far away.

Take Afghanistan for example: 20 years of campaign undone in like a week and it's not even a real problem for the US, as it all happens to be far away on another continent - they don't even have to deal with Tliban, unlike everyone else around.
Apologies for the direct question, but I've wondered, how does this make sense for your business? Chromebooks have typically been seen as cheap versions of laptops but Frameworks is priced above the average Chromebook price.

Is there a sense that there is an untapped 'premium' chromebook audience or will this make sense even without that. Perhaps you're looking for large/discounted partnerships with educational organizations?
> I highly doubt they have given out Tethers for free, exchanges paid dollars for them.

Tether and Bitfinex (one of the biggest exchanges) are both owned by the same people: iFinex. They're effectively one in the same.

Not coincidentally, both of them have already been caught and fined for Tether not being fully backed and for commingling reserves and customer funds: https://www.cftc.gov/PressRoom/PressReleases/8450-21

Also, you can't assume that exchanges paid dollars for them. Tether could print a lot of Tethers, transfer them to exchanges, and exchange them for crypto. No dollars are involved in the transaction and it all relies on everyone believing that Tethers are worth $1 because Tether says they are.
Hey there, just wanted to share my experience with you. I've used Macbooks for the past like 6 years for programming, after several jobs in Silicon Valley required it. Apple has been pretty much okay except for some key issues around memory consumption and overheating.

After they hit a supply line issue earlier this year, I decided to try getting a Framework instead.

Been using my Framework laptop for a month or so now consistently for heavy programming work, and it is the best machine I've ever had. Thank you! It also was the catalyst to get me into using Linux (Ubuntu) which has been a huge blessing beyond what I expected.

I posted a photo of myself at a coffee shop to a Discord group, and someone saw the corner of the laptop. They asked "Is that a Macbook I see?" and I explained to them "Nah it's a Framework" and shared the link. Didn't really expect much beyond that, but actually they loved it. Several people looked at it and said "Wow! This sounds amazing! Actually... going to save this for later..."
Youtube Premium is the subscription I have that I wish I didn't the most [1].

I mean, getting rid of the ads is great, but you still have to fast forward through the in-video ads from the content creators. "But first, a message from our sponsor..." is exactly the thing I'm paying to get rid of, but I can't even be free from that.

The thing that makes me the most upset is how they tie the YT premium subscription to the ability to turn off my iPad screen without turning off the audio. This kills me for two reasons. First, it used to be the case that you could do this for free on the original Apple iPad app. Then it became a paid feature. So that still bugs me.

But moreover, it's sets a terrible precedent. The iPad hardware is mine. The state of the hardware should be of no concern to the app. What's next, the video stops playing if the audio is muted? Or I can't mute ads? I subscribed to Peacock because it was $1.99, and now they show ads when the video is paused. We're slowly rolling to the future where you have to stand up and scream "McDonald's" before you video will resume playing, and I don't know how to stop it [2]. Subscribing to YT Premium seems like giving in and admitting defeat.

p.s. This is kind of an edge case, but the other thing that's terrible about YT Premium is the support. I was recently locked out of my Google account, and that meant I couldn't get into YT Premium. Google offers 0 support in recovering accounts, the forum was useless and locked my question, and the only place I could find help was Reddit. Meanwhile, I couldn't cancel my YT premium subscription, because I had to be logged in to do that, which I couldn't do. So because Google offers 0 customer support to people locked out of their accounts, the only solution to canceling the YT premium subscription was to cancel my credit card, which is a huge hassle.

No information on who the founders are and what their history is. I will never trust any institution that hides behind a business name when it comes to improving society. People behind the scenes need to be known and be held accountable to their creations.
Based on what you've given us, this just reads like a conclusory assertion likely rooted in pro-Russian conspiracy theory. If you have any real facts to share, I'll consider revising that assessment.
If you know how much memory you need, you can just have a section of zero-initialized-data for that, which the allocator then handles.
The allocator serves also as a proxy, as in: only the allocator needs to know how to request heap space.
Portable in that case probably means that you have little to no code change required for a port.

Something else to consider is that there may not even be an operating system the program was run on.
So as an example, solarpunk generally look at centralized energy and food solutions rather than decentralized, local solutions.

Compare, say, the various urban, walkable communities with green plants vs Auroville in India. Auroville was built from a wasteland, and over the past 50 years, has restored the ecosystem them, and in a way where people can still live well. We’re talking about hotels with onsite blackwater treatment (as an example), or reforestration with perennial food forests.

Solarpunk, by and large, does not represent a change in worldview or paradigm whereas permaculture does.
Does the site have contact info? I couldn't find any, but I feel like one of us should let Hubert know this is on HN. Maybe he'd show up to answer questions!
Here's my take. Any requirement or bureaucratic procedure is meant to mitigate some risk. You must understand what that risk is before removing that process step.

Many times that process step is just arbitrarily layered onto an existing process. If you do that enough times we get the inefficiencies that we tend to think of when we say "bureaucracy." That creates a risk in itself, namely a productivity risk. But that stems from my earlier point: when process steps are just layered on without thinking about the second-order effects, it creates a bad process by incurring outsized risk. But the converse is also true: removing process steps without understanding the rationale behind them can also increase risks.

You seem to equate bureaucratic steps with needlessness. I'm not sure I agree. I tend to think they are there for a reason, but possibly just implemented poorly. Same goes for decisions to remove steps from a process.
I wonder if it’s even possible to fill an Olympic-sized pool with ants without crushing the ones near the bottom.

Amazon has had an org called 'Builder Tools' or some variation on that for over a decade (maybe much longer?). That team has historically owned the systems for build, deployment, source control etc. AWS also uses the 'builder' terminology a lot in their marketing. E.g. Werner saying 'Now go build!' at the end of his keynotes, and the 'Build On AWS' campaign.
> There is also the issue of certain libraries and frameworks that keep changing things.

Then it's up to the people burned by this to use a different one. If you want a stable interface/API, make sure that's part of your decision-making process when you choose the tools you build atop.

The proliferation of easy-update-path tooling across platforms has hidden that fact that managing dependencies is a critical part of providing software and software-based services.

"its incredibly high pressure and demanding, but worth it"

The money is the drive. And I worry about going for a money job that I hate because getting used to the lifestyle will mean it is that much harder to leave. I am already in that boat where leaving my current job basically means a pay cut or going to a FAANG. It is very limiting especially with family pressure.

This class of comment is pretty tired. Google Pixelbook did not "flop" it proved the viability of the $1000+ Chromebook market for serious users. There are Chromebooks on the market at all price points. You can build-to-order a HP Elite Dragonfly with a state-of-the-art CPU, 32GB of RAM, and 512GB of flash for $3200 and these are back-ordered to March 2023 so clearly the customers exist.
I am sure there is some javascript in there, but its mostly a mixture of c/c++ and similar languages and rust to control industrial robots.

For CNC and lathes its p-code.

There is a surprising amount of camera vision, etc used in automation as well.

Entire industrial processes were replaced with code and automation (read, more code) and robots.

And of course robots are produced by factories with robots.

Second, a lot more of what we are doing has been dematerialized. The entire factories that used to make film camera (as just one example) have essentially been replaced entirely with software, and the experience is better in every single way for customers.
