I think you missed the whole “currents” bit.

I’d put reading Plato on par with reading The Skeptical Chymist or John Dalton’s Chemical Philosophy. I think it’s a miss primary sources like that are absent from most undergraduate degrees in science - they reveal a lot about what science really is.

But building an entire undergraduate curriculum on nothing but those primary sources? There’s just too much material and so many of those constructs have failed to accurately describe reality.

To use Marxism as an example, Main Currents of Marxism is probably on par with From Atomos to Atom. Both Science and Philosophy could benefit from teaching from currents vs. primary sources (philosophy) and compilations of “facts” (science).

I was talking about organized crime.

If you break into a car while your buddy keeps watch, have you created a criminal enterprise worthy of being compared to mafias and terrorist groups? If so, what is meaningful about the concept of organized crime as it is currently used and accepted?

Are you aware that there are non-federal police that have the purview of arresting little mom and pop criminal enterprises? Not everything is an automatic RICO case.
As if they weren't already doing that anyway?
Which examples of extremely high-stakes geopolitical meddling are you using to form that idea of normality from?

Normally we only find out long after said meddling, and what is referred to directly as terrorism is usually done so because it was committed someone easily classified as a terrorist.
Why do you keep buying from them then?
Use a Boox device with a Bluetooth keyboard. The ux you're describing could be replicated in a web app or Android app pretty easily.
It suffers from the same issue as all Apple devices, a lack of discoverability. It is even worse on the Apple TV given the lack of buttons on the remote.

I much prefer my Roku TVs and don't have any issue with lag which bothers me.
That's probably the correct interpretation of the law, but the issue here isn't the law itself, but the cost to enforce it. There's no general precedent in US courts around these kinds of TOS contracts, so the matter would need to go trial, which would be very expensive. The vast majority of transactions with these kinds of terms are relatively small, a few hundred dollars at most, so it doesn't make sense to even retain a lawyer to threaten legal action.
You are here to tell us when posed with the question "do you want to block trackers who do nothing but slow down your browsing" users would go "no thank you, only the ads"?

That is of course nonsense. Ad blockers can block trackers with much the same mechanisms and it's just a pure and utter improvement at no cost.
Boox A4 is great (Max Lumi 2), extremely practical. Can't go back to smaller e-inks. Kindle almost needed lens to read anything and I can't imagine writing on it.
I do like this project a lot, but in a way it's salt in the wound of the Matrix ecosystem (for actual chatting) being dysfunctional and not getting noticeably better. Could Element please also allocate some resources towards fixing the glaring usability show stoppers?
I stopped being opinionated when I realized that the vast majority of what I'd be opinionated about pretty much doesn't matter enough at all, or doesn't matter enough to get worked up about. It's an ego thing, and being serious about relatively mundane things is pretty fragile. Not that opinions in general are bad, but even if one is very well-informed, one choice over another often just isn't very significant.

Especially in code, if there's a reason to pick one style over another and it seems preferable, I'll say that, but if someone does something else it's probably pretty negligible, and any sensible opinion should change over time anyway.

If someone on my team was very opinionated, I'd think of it as immature. In a non-professional context, I might argue for the fun but that's it. I like back and forth more than black and white.
Sure, but with every new hoop and restriction we tilt the scales further.
The answer for pretty much all of these are "woeful incompetence".

Knew a guy who used to work for Optus, he said their business SIP service was constantly getting hacked and their strategy for dealing with it was just to eat the losses and give out account credit like water, because their infrastructure was so outdated and poorly designed that it was functionally impossible to secure.

Honestly, Ausgov should rip Optus to shreds for this... not only for the data breach specifically, but also as a critical infrastructure operator they should be held to a far far higher standard than an ordinary business.
What do you mean meme storm? Switching to Firefox makes you immune to annoying changes like this... I honestly don't understand why more people, especially on hn, haven't switched over still.

As a Firefox user, articles like this are just noise, not a possible attack on my personal privacy. When was the last technical scandal with Firefox? Adding an optional bookmarking service? How are people still defending chrome?

I'm still bitter that Google permanently removed my @gmail.com with your dark pattern migration to business email. With no option to move back? You guys lost half of my Google Drive, Photos history. But it's cool. That's life.

And then you moved me to legacy workspace to appease me.

And then months before you tried again to migrate my legacy workspace email to paid, which another Google employee said it's free forever. I'm willing to pay anything on your valuable service but those dark patterns is what really pisses me.
Interestingly, no mention of those of us who traveled abroad to Australia somewhat recently and got an Optus SIM.
I honestly think a decent chunk of it was the volatility in "hype" and passed time. It was way over-hyped (by CDPR, journalists, fans, etc). Then when it released, it was dog-piled an (IMO) unreasonable amount. [1]

It was then pretty easy to trend back up to where it is today. There was always an amazing game behind the disaster of the release. Plus, now many people have better hardware and a lot of bugs did get fixed.

But yes, the anime definitely was the catalyst, imo.

[1] I just remember seeing a lot of complaints over silly bugs. Yea, it sucks that its in a AAA game but as someone that's played these massive RPGs for over a decade now, it will always happen. I feel people really got hit with an availability bias. Not denying bugs existed but I never encountered any that truly ruined my experience.

Another Unlimited Design Subscription
First, yes this unlimited design subscription model is getting more and more popular. Might not be very unique anymore but I still don't think any of these other shops have really solved the underlying issue that startups care about ...

Speed + Quality trump all.

The tradeoff has always been we can have mediocre work quickly, or we can have good work but it's gonna take a while.

That tradeoff doesn't need to exist anymore ... which is why we're solving it with Spring Studio.

We're giving the Hacker News community a trial run to see if we can really solve that underlying issue.

Email me at tristan@tryspringstudio.com with one of your current design tasks and we'll knock it out, on the house.

After that, if a subscription makes sense for your business right now, great.

No need for us to schedule a call first, or have you listen through a boring demo.

We just need a design prompt so we can execute it for you.
Ideas are cheap. There are a thousand nameless people who have already had these ideas. Doing the work is the thing.
I did a Google because I was curious, and some of them do indeed strip the HDCP.

I think what you're saying is basically what's happening. The HDMI splitter pretends to be a display/TV, so the playback device sends encrypted data to the splitter, which decrypts it and forwards the decrypted part over the HDMI connections.

From what I could find, it's usually the cheap HDMI splitters that emit unencrypted data over the HDMI ports. That kind of makes sense; they implement HDCP inbound because they have to, but they leave HDCP off the output ports because it reduces their manufacturing cost.

I think you can't just "forward" the encrypted packets, because then both outputs on the splitter would try to communicate back to the player, causing issues. The splitter has to MITM the connection.

https://www.tweaking4all.com/home-theatre/remove-hdcp-hdmi-s... has some cursory info, and links to HDMI splitters that strip HDCP (not an endorsement of whatever you do with them, just an interesting device).

Stuxnet isn't a great example precisely because they never dropped any bombs even though they could've arguably gotten away with it.

It's worth keeping in mind that the pipeline was also pretty much dormant anyway, the official nord stream data has it that flow collapsed around june, down to exactly 0 (by their books, there was still pressure in the pipe) kWh per day by September.
Thank you for sharing your experience and trying Depot out!

We currently charge on a per project basis as behind the scenes we are provisioning and maintaining a VM with a persistent SSD cache for each architecture you are building for (i.e. Intel & Arm). We switched to usage based pricing before rolling Depot out to the public so you are only charged for your active projects and used build minutes in a month. So far it has seemed to be working well, but we are always open to feedback and ideas on how we can make pricing better.

We don't currently document this, and we probably should, but it's entirely possible to use a single Depot project for multiple Docker images. There is no limitation that prevents this and the only downside is you may fill up your cache space at a faster rate and get fewer hits if you have different image builds clobbering the cache.
Thank you. You've just helped ensure that knowledge of the "chad" reference's links to the 2000 election and Charlie's Angels will live on, in this case via the various archives of HN content out there in the world.

The problem is (as always) a lack of regulation in the tech industry. We've taught Big Tech that the only way to 'innovate' is to perform profane moneymaking rituals at the expense of the end user, and the shareholders are always asking for more.

The average Google engineer's job is no different from anyone else working in a sufficiently large company. Their job isn't 'press the big evil switch on MV3', but rather 'MV3's staging branch is failing tests, go fix it'. The evil comes from perverse bureaucratic incentive, so it leaves me kinda ruffled to see people blaming the engineers on HN of all places. I can imagine some pinstriped upper-management prick at FAANG reading this thread in their penthouse and laughing their ass off.
It's too late, I switched back to Firefox and it's been good so far. Performance-wise, I think Chrome still has advantages though.

> Even if Samsung embedded an LTE/5G SIM, eSIM, whatever, it would be hacked to bits. "Get model X of samsung TV, get free Internet with this Linux application". It's not realistic for there to be a network connection that you don't know about, pay for, and have your name attached to.

Kindles and cars have had those for years and people haven't torn those apart to come up with free internet.
I agree. While the people on this site undoubtedly won't boggle at installing the CLI software, there are a lot of people who will use Dream Studio over the CLI stuff even if it costs money. It's the of both worlds for them, IMO. They get the benefits of user contributions (and there have been a LOT, both on the base project and in spun-off derivatives... I'm using ImaginAIry myself), while still having a possible viable business model in Dream Studio.
Out of curiosity, are there OTC brands that are pure DXM? I thought most of them were a blend of something else.
I know they're not equal, but typically people lump them together and oppose both without knowing the differences, so I figured OP would like to know they're quoting a socialist to oppose Marxism, because they might actually really support socialism even if they oppose marxism. I guess I shouldn't have said "in support of socialism" and instead "by an author who hugely supported socialism", but I think it's fair to say his works were influenced and driven by his political beliefs since that's so much of the focus. It's not a book talking about how great socialism is, but it's also not at all a critique of socialism. It's just about totalitarianism, and people often use it to oppose socialism or marxism so wanted to throw this out for clarification

A classic example was Orwell in the Spanish civil war saying he was super against Stalinism specifically and also seemed to know that it was not at all communism, but overall he seemed to primarily like democratic socialism.

Maybe this is because I'm from the US but here most people think Stalinism==Communism==Socialism==Maoism, so I think it's important to point out differences

This is definitely not true so I wouldn't trust that source much. Some people think it's the only way but others don't
I think you're looking at the wrong end of the timeline. The people who built it had already built UNIX and C (and one of them would later write Limbo). Go's initial splash in the "press" was helped massively by that pedigree.

"Maybe ... Webster defines ..." Not around here it doesn't (says {!US})!

You don't need to define "literature", it largely defines itself but not in a formal mathematical way (derived from axioms) but in a linguistic way which is rather closer to legal reasoning and quite open to interpretation.

So, we might have litera tura as an initial path to the to past to explore for literature. Latin for something like learning from letters (characters). I've searched quite a lot and I see litera being turned into a book which I think is wrong - a book is librum in Latin.

Litera are individual letters or characters but many "letters" starts to take on a new meaning. They become words (verbum) initially, and as you deploy more verbum you get paginae and then liberae. I've probably really mashed up the singulars and plurals - soz.

So I think we have literae tura. This gives us some latitude for interpretation. For starters, literature need not be confined to books - that might be liberature and get jolly confused with notions of freedom.

Right, now we have modern language sorted out, let's worry about how old an ancient text is or are or something.

There's probably many reasons why tech won't grow inland. There's this story about Yakima, WA, and why ambitious and/or smart people move away:

https://patrickwyman.substack.com/p/american-gentry

I grew up in Kirksville, No. Much smaller town, but very similar situation as far as local gentry. Almost everyone I knew in highschool moved away.

Then there's this little issue of non-compete agreement and companies owning every other deal you have, except in CA.

It's not as simple as this article makes it. Yakima and Kirksville would welcome the tax money and the educated population. Except when those educated people break the existing social order.
As if you have some inside information.
Calling such a concept a 'layer' is quite confusing, given my experience with Photoshop, OmniGraffle, Pixelmator, and most other drawing tools I've seen. Why not just call it an "element" or "shape" or "item"?

I have been using it for the last week also and have had a similar experience. I also have no plans to return to the MV2 version.
I recently was at a birthday event for my niece, whose family is fairly affluent. Most of the toys were quite expensive things for a 3 year old, complex computer looking workstations made of plastic or faux kitchen accessories.

We gave her a small soccer ball (kid size, but well made). Once she opened it, she stopped unwrapping presents and wanted to play with the soccer ball. She ignored everything else the rest of the afternoon to kick the ball around the picnic tables. She threw tantrum when they had to pick up the ball to go home (even though she was still holding the ball).
> it does not seem unreasonable to hope that people have learned at least something from the past

I wonder how that could have happened?

I don’t think any of this is serious. The guy is just trolling.
> people call it privacy

If you think of privacy solely as reducing the risk of an extension going rogue and leaking data - then sure, MV3 is a win.

But if you include the issue of sites sharing data, then reducing the ability of extensions to use advanced heuristics to block advertising and tracking may cause more harm than good.

There are plenty of users who understand that extensions are extremely powerful, thoroughly vet the organizations that have the capacity to update those extensions, and are also required to visit numerous less-trusted websites (and in a modern age of advertising technology, that's practically all of them) whose data sharing practices they cannot vet. MV3 will be a net negative for the privacy of those users.

Now, it may be reductive to say that those users, and that privacy threat model, matter more than others. But it is equally reductive to pretend that MV3 is a universal good.

> But it’s not visionary - just building on many incremental improvements and respectful of the thorough research and validation required

That is the core idea of most successful businesses. The same thing done very quickly is called a startup. “Visionary” is for government pork barrels, or wealthy investors that want to gamble or gain status, with the most likely outcome of becoming less wealthy.

I think building a successful business is best achieved by a series of smaller steps, with each step up-and-to-the-right. Visionary businesses that have a single wallface/cliff to climb have a horrific level of failure.
The misleading part wasn't from me. I'm trying to correct a common misconception here. Both "multiple" and "lines" are wrong.

Lambdas can't have single statements either. The body is only an expression. So why are we saying "multiple" (a word to distinguish from "single") if you meant to multiply statements? The number of statements is zero.

Does a try/except fit on one line? That's a try statement. Does a class? Technically possible, but typically no. That's a class statement. It's not just the "class" word, or the first line. The class statement includes its body. Many Python statement types can't fit on one line, and many others don't have to. So why are we saying "lines" to mean statements when these are not remotely the same thing?

The statement/expression distinction is a holdover from FORTRAN. Statements are just expressions that don't return a value. (Yes, Smalltalk and Haskell can implement control structures with expressions just fine, thank you.) Many functional languages do away with the distinction altogether and just use expressions. You only really need lambdas in Python for the functional style, and in functional style, expressions are all you need!
> my cable provider clT out refused to give me the PPP / etc details or I have to go find an RPi with adsl io.

In the USA and perhaps other countries the cable provider is required to let you use your own DOCSIS modem. The list of modems that work with their system has to be on their web site.

They don't want to do this because they are all shitheads and also because they want to charge you "rent". But TBF I imagine it's also because it's easier to debug customer support calls when they manage the whole connection (e.g. GF's kids complain that "WiFi is down" when they mean the cable connection is down).

Oh, God - I, too; experienced DOOM 3 for the first time on a PowerPC Mac...not exactly a pleasant experience.

I was an early adopter of the first Intel MacBook; and let me tell you - the difference (once we had a Universal Binary) was like riding a horse vs. driving a car.

Other than Final Cut Express and Logic Express performance, I found DOOM 3 to be one of the first major signs that Intel was meant to be and here to stay.
