We send letters and parcels all the time within the USA and they are not inspected either. People also do horrible things in cars too, we don't systematically 'inspect' the content of every single car that drives on it past a bridge toll or similar. It feels rather flimsy IMO potential lawsuits without specific laws making this a liability that this would be the reason, like SESTA / FOSTA did.

Once precedent shows that apple or anyone else will just never have that info because they deliver things in the equivalent of opaque letters, legal precedent of previous court cases will make these happen less and less, if at all.

If I were apple, I would rather not have the responsibility of inspecting people's contents if I was a medium of transport, because it prevents an entire duty of care aspect that would pop up. You prevent more lawsuits by being E2EE IMO.

You see this avoidance behavior within medicine with malpractice lawsuits, where doctors would rather patients not speculatively test so they don't create duty of care issues, and where they outsource some kinds of testing to other firms, so the 'duty of care / malpractice' aspect that pops up in case they missed something goes to the firm instead of them. There is a big 'avoid seeing things if you don't have to' energy in a lot of medicine, and it comes from malpractice anxiety.

So there are things forcing apple to go this way IMO, I don't think they would do this by default.
This makes me realize being a developer in England is a huge footgun.

Interesting concept!
My experience is that it doesn't matter how smart a TV is when you buy it, it eventually become dumber than most, mostly because hardware upgrades in TVs is not a concept and lack of software upgrade.

For this reason you will most likely buy tiny Android TV boxes, which will be cheap and replaceble.

Back when the company I was working for was trying to decide between OS/2 and Windows NT we took a trip to both Microsoft and IBM to get their pitch.

Microsoft had us meet in Redmond, gave us a tour, free books from their bookstore, brought in an Indian chef for lunch (our boss was Indian), gave a big splashy presentation, etc.

IBM met us in a dingy conference room in LA, with a whiteboard, don’t even remember any coffee or bagles. The two guys they sent came across like bad car salesmen, and we were a big IBM customer.
It’s not just the chemical, it’s also a second drug to prevent vomiting and instructions on how to Jill yourself.

So you're saying all I need to do to knock a business offline is spam it with enough fraudulent CC numbers?
It's not a guarantee - card networks have a system where they will send payment processors the new card details, so the fraudulent charges will recur.

As far as I know, it's not granular, per-merchant, so you can't skip the fraudulent merchant while updating the legitimate ones.

Furthermore, some banks may not even give control to the user about whether this happens or not.
We evaluated a dozen or so for work last year, and my two personal favorites were DatoCMS and GraphCMS (now called Hygraph). A bit more details in this thread here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32993835), but basically DatoCMS had a great out of the box editor experience, while Hygraph had a slightly better/more flexible data model and GraphQL mutability. There are a LOT of options out there now though... you can see a big list here (not my site): https://cms-comparison.io/#/card

If I were you, I'd just pick a CMS and try to get started with a demo project. Here's Dato's tutorials for Next.js, including videos and step by steps to start from: https://www.datocms.com/docs/next-js

And here are a bunch of starter templates if you just wanna clone one and see how it works: https://www.datocms.com/marketplace/starters

Once you make a simple prototype in one, you can begin to understand how they tie together with the frontend. And then you can swap out any backend (or any frontend) you like once you understand the nuances better.

As for JSX, I can't really help there because I never learned Java, but it's basically just HTML + Javascript. LinkedIn Learning has a bunch of great videos on how to learn React, and there are free resources out there too (not sure about quality though). At the end of the day JSX is just a templating language that lets you inject JS into HTML. React is more than just JSX and that can get complicated though, so some tutorials might be helpful (or look at the example templates above).
> In 2022 there is just no excuse for this

To me, its shows the limitations of 'AI' in 2022. We keep calling software 'intelligent' and saying things like 'we don't know exactly how it works', we tell people that it is going to take their jobs - that all seems like hubris to me. Situations like this prove that AI is not intelligent at all and has a long way to go before it is anything like intelligent.
This is the 'sue the gunmakers' argument.
Not annoying to me either, I do it every two or so years to clean house of unnecessary subscriptions.

I would get super annoyed at the US behaviour.
Given that it's a 2 yearish old article (although there's no date in the post), I'm wondering if these predictions are proven correct:

> The barrier to entry to developing a viable product gets low for everyone, meaning hundreds of competitors will pop up overnight.

> A lot of founders are going to try to start businesses based on GPT-3, and a lot of money will go into them, and it’s going to be a blood bath.

I'm not really following the AI startup landscape, but I haven't seen a Cambrian explosion of GPT-3 apps, although I noticed a few ones. Blood bath is also way too dramatic. Anyone seen a post where a founder of a heavily GPT-3 based startup cried out how their startup was destroyed because "x"?
I used a copyright editor (she was getting her Masters at that time), whose last name was Wright :) , and it was invaluable to the point of embarrassment. Simple things like using singular and plural correctly throughout a sentence to things I didn't know like where commas should go where littered all over each page.

We used Github for copy edits. It works pretty darn well.
> nobody should be deploying software in production that is capable of this kind of harm.

This "kind" of harm seems to hide a huge amount of complexity. Let's assume the algorithm starts off on day 1 just looking for purchases that tend to appear in clusters. There's a potentially unbounded number of clusters that could be regarded as harmful. The options are surely:

1. Be vigilant and special case items one by one. I presume they are doing this. Maybe they aren't putting enough resources behind it or not reacting quickly enough but even if they were then things would always slip through.

2. Never use any kind of bundling algorithm ever.

(1) is a forever ongoing task so it doesn't sound like you're referring to that as that's not something where you can "iron out the kinks".

However it also doesn't sound like you mean (2) as you seem to be saying there's a way to fix this once and for all.

Is there a third option I haven't thought of?

EDIT - I guess maybe all "bundles" could require human curation before they are allowed to be displayed. It would be a gargantuan task but it's a valid third option.
Kind of weird that the website hosting a story about intrusive spying has a cookie policy that essentially says "we're going to set a cookie to track you around the intarwebs and you can't opt out of it."

One more site to add to the memory hole.
I was so disappointed when USA was going after TikTok instead of codifying proper data protection for all citizens.

Having gone through several GDPR implementation process in Europe, it’s what the citizens of USA need, but not what American companies or government agencies want. So from my perspective, American citizens will never fully be protected. Sadly.

Since having my first child, I've found that I have more time to think and less time to do, and it's definitely made me feel more productive (or maybe intentional is a better word). Both in non-work and work life.
> If I compare TVs with the same display technology, what do I get from a brand name?

For my last major TV purchase, rtings.com was the most useful resource I could find for understanding the differences between options at the size I was looking for. They also have good roundups of the best overall TV brands¹, as well as regular roundups of the best options in several categories (size, primary use, etc.).

While I agree that it seems very problematic that these ingredients are so accessible, I also have to challenge this:

> They had decades to iron out these kinks.

Aren’t the developments in algorithms that lead to these kinds of unexpected outcomes a bit more recent?

This seems similar to the content moderation problems the social media giants are having.

The sheer volume of products in Amazon’s marketplace is such that these kinds of things seem bound to happen when applying recommendation engines.

This is not to imply that such recommendations are acceptable, but my primarily contention is that this doesn’t seem like a problem that has been well solved anywhere yet.
I was lead to believe a stripe API integration would take maybe a month of my time, for a subscription based service.

Genuinely 3 months of development, with more roadblocks than I could have ever imagined.
I‘m not well versed in type theory and some of the types libraries require, especially in the React ecosystem, really make my brain hurt. And sometimes it seems unnaturally hard to figure out what is even expected to type something correctly.
Not surprising coming from South Carolina law enforcement, but these are THC gummies with clear packaging (that have a warning label and state "Cannabis Product").

Are we really to believe criminal is going to unpackage and give out to unsuspecting children, just to get them hooked on the marijuanas? Instead of selling them?
>Was the company already recording his screen and voice (if applicable)

The answer is yes.
Reasoning that works to determine the probability of drawing a spade from a deck of cards doesn’t apply to scenarios like this. We know the exact distribution of spades in a deck of cards. No one but Putin knows what he wants, or will do, or will think important tomorrow. No one knows how complex situations involving individual personalities and contingencies and unknown unknowns will play out. To play fortune teller with a veneer of math and “logic” just seems like showing off — look at me, so rational and smart and full of deep insight.

Anyone can imagine hundreds of alternatives to the six outcomes the author lists. Putin could choke on his breakfast tomorrow, or fall down a flight of stairs. Winter will hit the region soon, the soldiers might freeze and starve. Why not attach probabilities to those possibilities?

Worrying about things you cannot influence or change strikes me as deeply irrational. “We” as in “the west” can influence the Ukraine situation, but “we” don’t make collective decisions. Extrapolating from “I belong the group of people collectively referred to as America or The West” to “my opinion makes a difference and can influence events” veers into category error. Do you suppose the politicians in D.C. and the military leaders of NATO read Less Wrong posts?

The Ukraine war has many possible outcomes, none of which anyone can predict, and none of which any one person can control. History teaches that. Cherry-picking Finland, Kosovo, Vietnam, etc. as the only possible outcomes misses the unique circumstances of those conflicts and outcomes. Why not include the last Crimean War as a possible outcome? Or the one time nuclear weapons did get used in a war?
Let them fight windmills while we have a good time.
What do you mean? I'm editing TS perfectly fine in Jetbrains IDEs, and some coworkers use emacs and vim without any issues, still getting all the error highlights, etc.

Is there an editor that doesn't work with Typescript? Even without type error integration into the editor view, you could still run tsc in your shell of choice to manually check if everything is OK.
Easy fix for Amazon: just sell the sodium nitrite as part of a firearm, a right that cannot be abridged!
Freedom is amazing , true. But I am afraid you could be over optimistic saying that everyone craves it. Unfortunately many people have short-term goals that are more important for them than freedom…
The gulf stream may well stop (under some scenarios), but the effect of that on N. European climate will not be to make it like Siberia. It would more likely be like the Pacific Northwest. For example Seattle and Vancouver are at similar latitudes as Paris and London, and don't benefit from something like the Gulf stream.

I'm surprised there are so many coordinated people here, the top categories of respondents (so far) are the most ambidextrous. I'm a leftie, but I can't do counter-clockwise in right-hand like basically at all. It's like impossible for me unless I go really slow and big circles like 1 - 2 Hz and really big. If I try to make small fast rotations (like regular, like you're supposed to), I can't do that at all, not really. A total mess. Splashes, spills. Pretty funny, but just can't do it.

I can go counter and clockwise in left hand easily. I can do a pretty messy clockwise in right hand under half the duration I can in left, but just changing the rotation to counter is off the charts harder for me in right hand. So it's surprising to me that there are people who can supposedly do it both hands whatever rotation. I think I believe they can but I'm just super impressed and surprised. You have to keep the speed up tho (3 - 4 Hz or faster) to make it real. I kind of have to see it to really believe it tho I think :)

I'm a leftie, but snowboard regalar, kick right-footed, golf and guitar right handed, shoot left handed, I can throw and catch both hands but much better on left. I write and draw left handed, but can do a very rough (tho better than most) write with right hand. Watch only ever on right wrist. Swipe type with left hand only. Mouse/trackpad with any hand (switch it up as fingers get tired). I can touch type on a HHKB with no letterings, but can't one-handed with either hand on that (no sense of location one handed). Who types one-handed anyway? I can do it with letterings but it's definitely hunt and peck. Fork and spoon in left hand almost always, knife in right. I love being just the way I am. It's also very interesting to hear other people's experiences. People's body capabilities body are divided up between tasks and sides, which is kind weird but fascinating.
Because in 2022 the only way to get a company to give a damn about a customer is by publicly shaming them.
> Plus you’d get to write about what happens after AGI is released

Any kind of story that suggests a comprehensible outcome is already assuming a substantial amount of alignment.

Sadly, humanity has not yet figured out that it needs to control AGI efforts better than it controlled nuclear weaponry, rather than substantially worse.

> Everyone is so in agreement that AGI needs to be created as “aligned” as possible that it seems about time to show a differing perspective.

Sadly, "everyone" is insufficiently in agreement.

Everyone is so in agreement that global thermonuclear war should be avoided that it seems about time to show a differing perspective.

Everyone is so in agreement that causing the sun to go supernova should be avoided that it seems about time to show a differing perspective.

I sincerely hope that a much broader audience gets a clearer picture that unaligned AGI and humanity cannot coexist outside of fiction.
What I don't understand is how much technique assumes of the local oscillators on the recording device, which also vary.
Yes, Magit solves the two main issues I had with git and made me avoid it for a while. It provides:

1) A simple interface, with good discoverability (options and functions shown);

2) Good visualization and operations on the current state, with work tree and index, in a simple and intuitive way.

People often complain about the CLI interface, but for me (2) is also important. Having a compact, simple representation of what's changed in the work tree and index, and easy manipulation, is important to reduce the cognitive load. No need to keep track of this in your head, just look at the Magit status window.
Furthermore, according to the article, the sodium nitrate mentioned in the lawsuit has a higher purity (99%) than the sodium nitrate used or processing meat (6%).
That's similar to how it works in my Canadian workplace. My employer has a pool of workers, and when a project is coming up, the manager phones around and fills his or her labour requirements. Lots of us work secondary jobs too, and this is both reasonable and understood, and a "no" or even a series of noes to an offer won't put you on the street, though it may lower you on a particular manager's call list.

Its like renting yourself out. You don't feel owned, and nobody feels they own you. Its great.
Haha, where would you rank this one in terms of quality?

Here's the fixed headline: "Parents lack of parenting have led to teen deaths".

This is nothing but an attempt at shifting blame.
Stripe is built around processes and programs, not people. Behind every investigation that results from HN is a team of people. I’m just one person on that team—many of my teammates are equipped to respond here as well (and, in fact, do so today). We care a lot about the HN community which is why we’re always on here—HN isn’t meant to be an official support forum.

It might look like the number of absolute support issues landing on HN is increasing, but proportionally, the rate remains steady. We survey users after support interactions, and the satisfaction rate has been at ~85% for the past three years. For that remaining 15%, though, we have a couple projects in flight that hopefully will bring that number down.

But as a meta point, I’m not leaving Stripe anytime soon.
Let's ban ropes because people might use it to hang themselves.
Nothing slipped through. Amazon has been fully informed about it, is doing it on purpose, and is engaging in expensive legal battles to be allowed to keep doing it.

This story is so much worse than the headline suggests, despite that seeming impossible.
It's an indication of what is happening in Scotland. Scotland would be very sensitive to small changes in the Gulf Stream, which are chaotic in nature.

As far as the planet goes, the global troposphere's temperature has increased by only about 0.52C over the last forty years, as measured by satellite.[0]

We are still coming out of both a major ice age, from 15,000 years ago, and a minor ice age, from 250 years ago, so some warming is expected. These changes are largely due to the Earth's orbit and inclination, and possibly to changes in the Sun's activity. The Earth is currently in a cold period compared to the historical record, though at times in the remote past the oceans have frozen almost completely.[1]

There is always regional climate change. Deserts become wetter, then drier. The North Pole warms more rapidly than the South Pole, and then the opposite occurs.

> Have you taken a look at the website?

No, I haven't, because the parent comment was referring to registering these domains, not about what they serve.

I also don't want to judge whether whatever happened at that C3 was justified, but rather that it's not clear from just domain names if there meant in a sarcastic way or not.
> yes, you worked there. Nothing else.

That's the norm in most places, isn't it? He didn't steal anything, he wasn't sacked, he didn't punch-out the boss, and he didn't shit on the carpet.

Nobody wants to be sued for giving a decent reference.

My dad was a soldier; his retirement reference (age 45) said something like "He is an oustanding officer who will succeed at any enterprise he turns his hand to". That impressed me, until I learned that any officer retiring from the army will get a reference pretty-much the same.

Note that retiring from the army at age 45 is very common. If you get to 45 without getting promoted past colonel, you need a new career, because serious promotion happens when your CO gets killed in combat; and beyond about 45, they won't be sending you into combat.
Some people believe in the right to suicide. I don’t think that’s appalling at all. What’s appalling is how America prolongs the suffering of terminally ill or those with horrific chronic diseases who want out. Agreed on the teen part though.
Apple could bring USB-C to AirPods and Mac accessories by 2024
They are hit or miss, depending what you're trying to do.
You do not understand how these drugs work. MDMA is rather similar to certain SSRI in action, if stronger and shorter lived. Which she was already on. Heroinists with depression tend to shoot a final overdose.

The remaining thing to try would be hallucinogens. LSD, psylocibin or perhaps ibogaine. These are different and unpredictable enough to maybe work. And this is a case where, since it is otherwise bad enough, even electroshock therapy could be of value.
Since these are way past typical options and probably now banned, they would require special handling.

(Assuming VR therapy and standard CBT have been exhausted. And TMS showed no improvement.)
Fears of mass poisoning and other harms to children during Halloween is bs.
There's a deep censorship vibe on this one.

Seems like at the crux of this lawsuit, isn't that Amazon is selling products they're legally allowed to sell, it is that Amazon is also selling a booklet with information that is readily available online telling people how to use that product in unintended (deadly) ways.

HN hates Amazon, HN also hates censorship, the question is which do we as a community hate more? Should a company be liable for the free access of information? There's even some people in the comments already calling for new age restrictions on Amazon accounts for certain products, I wonder how long once that is implemented before certain localities pass laws restricting access to "unpure" materials like sex ed/safe sex?

I won't even address the "suicide kit" claim since that is simply sensationalist reporting. Ironically I think if this lawsuit is successful on its merit, you could also sue arstechnica for promoting the same thing they're accusing Amazon of. That's the nature of censorship, nobody is really safe once you open those floodgates.
"And the fact that at that point they weren't even floppy anymore. Like 5 or 8 inch were..."

No, they were all floppy. You are just thinking of the hard plastic case that 3.5" diskettes had. If you crack it open and disassemble it, the actual spinning disk is just as floppy as the 5.25" was.

This is as opposed to a "hard" disk which is a hard platter inside a fixed disk.
