Big companies are quite paranoid about leaking shutdowns even internally, because they don't want the press to know, customers to start asking questions, team members leaving, etc etc.

I once casually speculated to a director that product X felt like it was going to get the axe. He was visibly freaked out and responded with a fervent Shakespearean lady-doth-protest-too-much denial, complete with demanding to know where I'd heard this from. Inevitably, it turns out that X's days were already numbered, but he already knew and I didn't.
Personally, I use Nvidia Broadcast which works great with noise suppression, and, best of all, works with any app because it shows up as a standard audio device. It also has camera features such as sharpening and visual noise reduction but I don't use those much. Caveat that it requires an Nvidia GPU but if you have one, it is better than any other noise suppression system I've seen.
I agree with you. As a user, I want web developers to have as little freedom as possible. The freedom they enjoy today implies the potential for abuse and boy do they abuse it. Tracking and fingerprinting everywhere, anti-patterns everywhere, sites that are painful to use because they use javascript for everything and even the back button doesn't works properly, sites that don't even render at all without javascript enabled.

This actually pushed me to scrape some websites. I essentially reverse engineered the site and created my own custom client for them just to ensure only my code ever runs. I don't have time or energy to do this for every site though...
Well, yes and no

First of all, the subdomain can redirect to google.com and back, loading it in a first-party context, and then redirect to your main domain page. I guess Google here would be a “second party”. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/dev...

Second way is that subdomain can load an iframe from google.com and the iframe will send a postMessage to the enclosing page, which will send a request to the server to set a cookie.

As long as you logged in ONCE in google (let’s say in a popup, or maybe using ITP’s click-to-login) then it will store the session cookie this way. And after that it can meep a cookie around for 10 years and track this guy across all the subdomains where he signed in once.
Remove diplomatic status for anyone involved in such activities, put oversight on the diplomacy, make a big international public stink out of it (this matters), share intel with other governments and create a working body to root out this, implement local programs so that schools/companies etc. are aware that this happens and should report it, consider other forms of action.

But all of that would be pretty hard in the current geopolitical situation, there would be a huge price to pay.

Australia was slapped with huge trade war in the order of billions for pointing out that China was lying about COVID origins.
At least not every engineer. I love using older machines and any chance to make things work in a hardware friendly way.

Free software isn't supposed to be anything except free. If it's superior that's nice but that isn't really the goal.
Has any other company been in a position where they'd have to offer refunds though? The combination of a hardware device that relies entirely on an external service and requires "purchases" rather than rentals, and said service being discontinued after only three years and the company in question still being solvent seems like it'd be a black swan.
Haidt argues that much of the work that researchers do have no relationship to 'anti-racism' that Kendi popularized, or DEI goals in general.

It also appears that Haidt is taking SPSP's new direction literally - whereas you appear to be taking it figuratively. That SPSP's direction is a requirement for all members, not an interpretive statement that all members can come to terms with on their own accord. I think being compelled to a specific viewpoint by an institution is antithesis of freedom. Your comment seems like a huge dismissal of Haidt's view with this regard.

That is, if we are to trust that you looked at the linked article as you claim.
This is the million dollar question in psychedelic research today: Are the serotonergic effects of the psychedelic tryptamines primarily responsible for the therapeutic effects, or is the profound religious-mystical component indistinguishable from the positive changes observed? It is a profoundly expensive question. If pharmaceutical companies can deliver a pill that cures depression and gives life meaning without forcing users to face their angels and demons, then the FDA would give approval before the ink on the submission form had dried. As it stands, it would seem the predominant opinion in the community of psychedelic researchers is that the religious-mystical effects are the primary therapeutic vector. It is very difficult to meet God and walk away cynical and melancholy.

So as someone who has "interviewed" the lower class immigrants and TFW, it's truely a depressing situation, a particular one showed me they lived in a converted garage with units similar to a storage locker (6x6ft) while paying a large sum of their wage (the business had a cork board with these "livable" storage units for rent) and broke down crying half way through. There have been thousands of other instances of businesess abusing this as well. Hopefully more Canadians will ask questions and stop the abuse.
Err... the gist of the protest is: not all research is there to advance diversity, while Uni requires it, that guy doesn't want to lie to get his work presented. I'm not going to assume any interior motives.

Isn't forcing left/right political views counter productive? I've seen this in the industry (people rant) and local politics (e.g. my country swings between left and right every few years after they get fed with one PoV).
A ton of Americans around me identify ethnically in various ways, and keep some of their ethnical habits (Mexican, various Caribbean, Jewish, Irish, various African, several Chinese, etc).

What is the objective of the aroma? Stimulation or relaxation? A few ideas:

Peppermint, Mentha piperita: mood-elevating, has a positive effect on perception, memory, and other cognitive functions.

Lemon, Citrus limon: very uplifting, yet relaxing. Helpful in treating wounds, infections, and house cleaning and deodorizing

Rosemary, Rosmarinus officinalis: Very stimulating and uplifting, good to help mental stimulation as well as to stimulate the immune system.

Germanium, Pelargonium graveolens: helps to balance hormones in women, good for balancing the skin. Can be both relaxing and uplifting, as well as antidepressant
It's common in Germany. It's concidered pompous asshattery everywhere else.
When I was a child in Southern California in the 1960s, we had a set of the 1910/1911 eleventh edition of the Britannica in our home. At around fourteen, I bought my own set of the 1875 ninth edition for ten dollars at a church rummage sale and read it a lot. After I left home, my parents donated that set to the same church rummage sale, where it sold again for ten dollars.

Around 1980, in Chicago, I bought a set of the 1926 thirteenth edition—basically the same as the eleventh, plus a supplement—for, if I remember correctly, around a hundred dollars. Some years after I moved to Japan in 1983, I had that thirteenth edition shipped to me, and I still have it [1]. These days, though, when I read old Britannicas, I usually do so online [2].

For a while, I also owned a more recent edition from the 1980s and I used it a lot to look up facts, names, dates, etc. After Wikipedia matured, I sold it.

This. I remember when Stadia came out and then you'd see press from Google backpedalling on their own product. You knew it would die before it even launched so why bother investing money and time into it? Like why should I show commitment into Stadia if Google is already cutting their budget before it launches?
It isn’t that black and white…to look at it in that light is reductionist.

Further equality is good however it would be helpful to do so in a constructive manner.

What often happens is that SJWs just shut down debates and discussions.. because they disagree. This kills freedom of speech and ideas. This goes exactly to your last point. Are you threatened by others who disagree with you?
“Anti-racism” is, in fact, racist.

You're talking too high-falutin for me! Major enemy, justify, revanchism - people don't want to die for those words, words I consider to be propaganda words.

What are the people running Russia really afraid of? I assume they've been feeling existentially threatened, their boarders being indefensible, centuries of being invaded repeatedly across the open plains, declining economy and demographics, etc. Putin rolled the dice trying to take more of Ukraine, on his way towards defensible mountain passes, and it hasn't gone well for him. The real motivation is not revanchism, it's strategic. Countries come and go, sometimes disappearing. Russia is in decline, and they are doing what they think will improve their situation.

What are the people running the West afraid of? I assume they'd rather arm Ukrainians and have them die fighting Russians, in order to avoid having Western Europe possibly be involved first-hand in a war. Better that Ukrainians die than Westerners. The US is not existentially threatened, but we feel that it is in our interests to be involved in this war, as opposed to others that we don't care about.

I agree with what you said that it is strategically important for the West that Russia loses, but I wonder if I look at it more cynically than you do. I guess I'd be happier if people recognized that states are usually selfish more than moral, and often hypocrites.
Nonsense. Are you not around 'normal' people? Any perfectly average Joe or Jane who uses Word or Excel as part of their job, or does a little drawing or gaming on the side, understands file structures, creates directories, organizes their docs.

They aren't morons. They don't necessarily understand all the complexities, like aliased folders, etc., but that's because they don't need to and so haven't tried.
I picked the less well-off regions of the world; immigration is almost universally from poorer places to richer places.

There is no evidence in that article.

The intercepts notions of 'this was possibly a false flag' is literally the definition of conspiracy theory.

While there certainly might be more going on than we know, there isn't evidence of that much.

It's not going to be a surprise that a conduit for clandestine money might have some kind of governmental status or what have you.

It's basically insane to suggest House of Saud would want to do 9/11 or even a 'filed false flag', there is no benefit whatsoever in either. 9/11 did not help the Saudis, and even a 'failed false flag' like a pretend attack on a building in NYC would have the objective of what, trying to get more US troops in the Middle East for who's benefit?

More importantly, the likelihood of such a thing getting found out would be extremely high. The ruler of Saudi Arabia is going to blow up the Trade Centre knowing that the CIA/FBI would be able to nail him, and even all of Humpty Dumpty's men probably could not keep that secret contained? And if the US public found out, literally Saudi Arabia would cease to exist?

For what purpose?

No, this insane.

There are ultra Wahhabi nationalists in Saudi Arabia, they have money. We already know that. They are funding odd stuff around the world, just like many other billionaires. As part of the 'war on terror' a lot of that activity was shut down and now it's really scrutinized.

Would you support requiring a pledge of allegiance to a particular political party or ideology before conference attendees made their presentations?

This is surprisingly close.

The issue at stake is more abstract than American racism. This is a dangerous precedent.

And it requires some itchy mental gymnastics. Thinking about and encouraging diversity and inclusion through action is great. Forcing people to do it seems specifically contrary to the abstract goals of diversity and inclusion! Said another way: Is the point of these statements to increase or decrease the intellectual diversity of discourse?
Wait the UI has the checkmark inside the image? So not only does it block part of the valuable artwork, but if I simply screenshot and repost, it looks indistinguishable because the checkmark is now part of the screenshot!
That is in fact what the book How to be Anti-Racist prescibes that you do.

Part of the thesis of that book is that you are a racist if you treat people as individuals. To be Anti-Racist, you must treat people as part of their collective and then treat them well or badly based on membership of that collective in the name of equity. Thus whites and asians must be treated poorly because of their race and other minorities treated positively because of their race.

Basically you fight racism with racial discrimination.
I make snap judgements on statements, supposing age, race and sex, yes. (not the other way around as you suggest.)

I then investigated to see if my suppositions were correct.

That they are helps me make judgements with insufficient data in the future. If they are not it helps me broaden my model.

It's childish and those who do so should stop.
Thanks for sharing. It's important to understand these experiences and coping mechanisms are highly personal. You can't bless one way of dealing with it over the others, because not everybody experiences it the same. Also, you only learn those things by experiencing them. I for instance appea to be fearless, but sensitive. I don't think me getting less sensitive is the answer, nor you sucking up your fear. The solution will be personal, but should involve us and bystanders to correct the bully, whether they throw punches or words.
Ask HN: Offline display lat long on SVG map?
To me this seems complex, because:

- a map has a projection (distortion from reality) to display "nicely" on a rectangle

- lat long is a coordinate system in 1 projection (I think it's just angular coordinates on a globe)

- searching I couldn't find a simple client-side (for browser) library, or even just a function to plot a lat long coordinate on an SVG map.

I think this would be cool because, a mobile phone can give you a fairly high resolution lat long position. If you have a SVG map (of reasonable, doesn't have to be super) accuracy, you can combine them and get your position as long as you have GPS, without needing the internet.

I just want the simplest possible version of this idea. But I haven't been able to unpack it.

How to do it? Any pointers? Where to get a suitable map?

> At some point, the support for Ukraine creates a greater security threat to NATO than no support

Again, this is based on assumption that Russia will stop after Ukraine. Given their rhetoric and actions in the last two decades, I see no reasons to believe that.

They've been consistently instilling hatred towards the West in their citizens. Not towards Ukraine.

Read the recent Putin's annexation speech, Ukraine was barely mentioned. It was mostly about USA, colonization, collective West, anglo-saxons, cancel culture, double standards, gay-propaganda, satanism (!).

Do you really believe this will all go away once Russia is done with Ukraine?
> He quit that group because he can't sign a statement that he is anti-racist, and supports diversity and inclusion?

Incorrect, this statement was not directed to members' conduct. The diversity statement was to pledge that members' research submissions are advancing anti-racism, equity, and inclusion. This would, for example, prohibit a psychologist studying something like memory retention. This has no reasonable link to advancing equal racial outcomes. How does measuring the amount of time it takes to memorize a paragraph advance racial justice? Thus such research would thus fail to live up to this pledge, and be ineligible for submission - if this pledge were actually enforced, that is.

Of course, I doubt the people making this pledge actually intend to have every piece of their research connected to an anti-racist goal. This is just performance and naval-gazing.

As someone with a background in organic chemistry, I have a silly nit to pick with the phrasing "LSD-like molecules"

These molecules look nothing like LSD! Structurally they are as different from eachother as a dog is to a flying squirrel.

Of course they act like LSD by binding to 5HT2a. This is absolutely terribly pedantic and probably only applies to the mind of someone who wants to see the molecules first, and the rest of the research later, but I would have preferred "Molecules that act like LSD can counter depression without the trip"
In this context anti-racist doesn't mean what it appears to mean by a "plain language" interpretation.

If you look at the quote in the article, it illustrates that "anti-racist" actually means supporting discrimination:

"The only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination. The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination."

This "friendly fascist" form of discrimination festers under the cover of cheap political expediency.

It is abhorrent, at least to any society that supports liberal values.

That's true... But when you act as a publisher, then you're required to take the risk of leaking something's final days.

When you approve something for launch, and then kill the product before it can either launch or launch effectively, then you become liable for the investment in the launched failure. Google can absolutely be sued by those that just had a failed launch. They misrepresented themselves. This risk, tends to be higher for the company, than allowing people to guess that the product is about to die, because game products tend to be rather large investments.
Well that is just utterly vile.
