i think it's interesting how this is playing out.

i would have thought there was no way that Taiwan could stop a China takeover, but i guess I forgot how dedicated the US was to continued world domination -- even at the risk of ending the world. too bad US-Americans don't know about JFK pulling our nukes out of Turkey during the 'Cuban' missile crisis - prob makes Americans sleep more comfortably than we should - which is why most Americans are like, "Nukes? Pffft. We'll just threaten them to not use nukes to end the world else we'll end the world even more."

watching our weapons toy with Russia has been enlightening. one thing i'm sure China has learned -- if they decide to physically attack, they best go all in, else they end up like Russia.

China, if they wanted to use force, should have probably moved already, while US attention was at least slightly distracted towards Russia. so, on that point, i'd agree with the Admiral.

Now, China faces a growing US/Aukus/etc. threat every day that passes. a militarily-stronger Taiwan, a more galvanized anti-China public opinion in the US (US mass media leading the way, as usual), US growing more independent of China in chips and manufacturing every day, more and stronger pro-US military alliances in asia, better-tuned sanctions and other financial controls over China, growing awareness/vigilance among the Taiwanese population, an aging of the pro-China population of Taiwan, etc.

Russia or the US could still end the world before we get a chance to hash out Taiwan, so there's always that.

It couldn't cost more than say 200k (and that is pretty crazy the article says the plumbing hookups are there it's not like they have to dig up a city block to run a sewer line or something) to actually build the thing so we are talking what? A million and a half in illustration, planning and review for a single toilet?
> But the trick people seem to miss is that interrupt-denies and counter-interrupts make the whole thing possible.

Exactly. Interrupting when you want to talk but being unwilling to yield in return, or unwilling to let them continue if they insist, isn’t an efficient conversational technique, it’s just bulldozing.

I also draw a distinction between interrupting (and then monopolising the floor) and interjecting with a quick addition before handing back to the speaker.

Ask HN: Is Bumble (also) as scam site?
The topic is Bumble and its legitmacy, particularly regarding customer service.

I have plenty of experience with online dating, including Craigslist, Pentlyoffish, OkCupid, Tinder, and more. It is not difficult to recognize when a site is fluffing (to pardon the expression) options.

Most recently, as of just this minute, I have tried Bumble.

Every Bumble request involves a captcha of stylized characters which appear recognizable but seem to result in rejected entries. Imagine what seems to be an obvious "a", but when you enter an 'a' it is deemed invalid.

One might begin to assume that they want to reject all claims regardless of merit.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I discovered this because I sought to flag profiles which were obviously promotional. They pushed Instagram profiles, and they were all cosmetic ... parts ...

That's fine if people want to do that to themselves, but on a dating platform it seems clear that they are trying to gather marks or customers. I assumed (naivel?) that Bumble was intented to be a legit service. So I tried to report a couple of profiles. And I discovered that it is impossible to report anything since the captcha is unwinnable. I'm certain I entered the correct letters or numbers, but Bumble rejected them. It reminds me of the movie wher the insurance company's policy was to reject all claims.

It's a good distinction. Unfortunately the term "interrupt" here is a bit overloaded since you definitely get some real assholes interrupting for nefarious purposes. "Cooperative overlap" often gets used to describe this non-competitive, overlapping communication style (though I think it's not quite explicit enough for an audience who spends a lot of time thinking about communication protocols etc.)
Show HN: SoundSeeker – Organize Your Musical Ideas
Hi HN,

I've been programming for about three years, and this is my first full-stack web app. It's a tool for organizing musical ideas. Building and deploying it has been a great learning experience, and in that spirit I'd be grateful for any thoughts or suggestions if you care to take a look. Thank you!

source: https://bit.ly/3giqrBU

Why:

Composing music is different for everyone, yet some practices are employed by many musicians. One such practice is to record a musical idea on a phone, capturing the idea at its freshest, and for many, clearest. This often leads to a lengthy catalogue of chronologically organized recordings that can be difficult to parse when sitting down to flesh out a piece of music – what matters most is the content of the idea, more so than when it was conceived. The purpose of SoundSeeker is to allow you to organize musical ideas based on their content instead of when they came to be, and to serve as an educational personal project in my growth as a software engineer.

What:

A graph-based organizational tool for scratch audio recordings

Planned features:

in-app audio recording, in-app audio trimming, custom labeling outside of the main tiered organizational system.
The description is a little bit of a passive-aggressive dig at io_uring for not consulting with a particular group. While I won't pass judgment on either side here, why didn't LSM work with the io_uring devs earlier in the process? Or perhaps the way in which the LSM community engages others is the problem (later in the slides there's a complaint that people are actively avoiding talking to LSM).

> The io_uring subsystem was introduced in Linux v5.1 and provided a new way to do asynchronous I/O on Linux, improving on the existing AIO subsystem. Since then io_uring has been a source of active development, gaining the ability to delegate credentials across process boundaries in Linux v5.6. Unfortunately, all of this happened without engaging the LSM community, and as a result LSM access controls were not added to io_uring until Linux v5.16. This talk will discuss the challenges in adding LSM controls to the io_uring subsystem, thoughts on why the controls lagged the functional development, and what the LSM community might do to help reduce the changes of similar problems in the future.

Otherwise people start e.g. checking in the frontend and don't enforce it in the backend in the worse case, or TOCTOU bugs in the best case.

People are creatures of habit and some would stop shopping at Ralph's if it became Kroger even if nothing inside changed. At a store I worked at as a teen, we had two vendor supplied quarts of milk with the same UPC code but different brand labels because some of the shoppers had been drinking one brand since their childhood and refused to buy anything else. They had long ago been bought out by a competitor and it was the same milk in both brands' cartons but the customers wouldn't listen if we tried to explain that. Sometime one brand would run out and the customer would simply come back another day even though the exact same milk, from the exact same company was right there on the shelf, just with a different brand on it. As far as store inventory was concerned, they had the same SKUs and UPCs, but we had to ensure enough of each carton brand was delivered by the vendor or risk unhappy customers.

They are definitely compensated via a gross profit commission split just like others at the dealership. They do have volume bonuses to make up for the fact that most of their deals will be low or no profit, but if you inquire on the internet about buying a rare model, it's not like they're going to discount it drastically and get a low commission... It's a rare model after all.
On one hand I find AR and VR to be personally interested, particularly in configurations that are "inside out" and bring simulated graphics into the real world, such as

and

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6W4YRZYvew

(I am thinking about how to make a low-cost version of that last one)

I think though it's not an appealing technology for Facebook and other legacy media companies for one simple reason. You can spend all day watching TV, browsing the web, playing conventional video games, listening to music, reading, etc.

I see VR as a venue for intense entertainment experiences but I don't see it moving the needle for hours of engagement relative to other media. I like the Simula VR concept but you've got to be a weirdo like me to want to be working in a coffee shop looking like Iron Man.

This is the largest issue that I have with MS Teams. Latency of even a few hundred milliseconds substantially throw conversations off. Instead of interrupting at the right inflection point, you are interrupting directly while someone is talking. Conversations degrade to serial monologs which I'm convinced is less effective overall.
its fast and looks absolutely stunning but if you've done enough hand work you can still spot flaws (that are easy to correct by hand).

Yeah, this is exactly what I was thinking
This is an interesting additional aspect to the situation. I wouldn't deny at all that what you're describing happens, but whether it's a problem or a solution is debatable imo ;) Is it always better to have an enforced equality of priority among speakers, or do these emergent hierarchies serve as effective regulators of group communication?

However, I'd also argue that in most cases these social group hierarchical roles aren't going to end up having a large influence on communication style: typically it's only if there's something pressing going on. (Or, as I've already described elsewhere, if someone is unfairly taking advantage, the negation of which is a condition for cooperative interrupting to work.)

My assertion is that it is very very easy to miss "easy rules that were emergent and are working well" with "I didn't realize there is a social hierarchy here that I'm massively benefiting from." Or, worse, "there could be consequences for my interrupting this person, I should keep quiet and let it go."

Personally, I much prefer search engines that work without javascript enabled at all (currently using Metager). I use strict uBlock Origin settings as well as various other strict browser settings like blocking third party cookies. I'm not sure how much of that you want to try to support (or what is causing my issue - the site does not work at all for me, even after enabling javascript), but trying on Firefox with default uBlock Origin settings if you haven't would be one way to check a somewhat common setup. Oh, my issue could also be the referer related settings as mentioned below.

It reminds me of an article from Byte magazine back in 1981, but the basics stay the same.

I'd like to learn how to make more meaningful error messages in compilers, particularly "low code" compilers that slice code transformations thinly and thus have a hard time explaining which lines of code are interacting to create this situation that happens at phase 39.

It's all tradeoffs. We have to externalize agency to aggregate human effort and do civilization.

I'm pro-electric car, but I wouldn't say they solve the emissions problem. Tailpipe emissions, sure. But tire particulates are a surprisingly large fraction of current automotive emissions, and they're not going away.

In fact, if real self driving ever becomes widespread, it's likely to induce demand (sure, why not live a 2 hour drive from work if you can relax the whole drive home?) which will lead to increased tire emissions.
No, vandalize an oil tycoons house or if you don’t mind going to prison shoot him or something. Much more effective and way more publicity. This is just cowardly and destroys irreplaceable works of art.
At the grocery chain I worked for, the store brand cereals were from Kellogg's but if you bought a box of store brand and a box of Kellogg's, you'd quickly discover that the store brand was inferior. For some thing like Corn Flakes, the store brand had smaller flakes, lots more corn flake dust, and burnt pieces. I suspect that Kellogg's has some sort of QA process that on the production line separates what's good enough for their brand from that which gets sold as store brands.
Even if the pipe dream of getting all global governments to provide an API to determine taxes appropriately, there's almost certainly still a business niche aggregating and normalising all those APIs that Open Source probably won't scratch well enough to be able to rely on for tax compliance purposes. Just in the US there are more than 50 "gov tax agencies" (state and federal) that won't (without a very strong federal mandate) all use the same API. Now multiply that over all 200+ countries in the world, and try an imagine any open source dev (or team) writing and maintaining something that stays on top of all the individual "gov tax agencies" you might need to comply with?

Hell, even if an open source project _did_ successfully create and set up a community to maintain that, I bet you could make a profitable business on top of it just by insuring/indemnifying enterprise customers who use your version of it as a SaaS offering. (Something Amazon could easily do...)
> 6 years ago, a COO once told me, "Employees are donkeys. You use a carrot and stick. If they weren't donkeys they'd be running their own business."

Still doesn't stop auto conversion for dates. There is however at least this:

>NOTE: You can also select the When loading a .csv file or similar file, notify me of any automatic number conversions check box. By doing so, Excel will display a warning message when it detects that at least one of the optional automatic data conversions is enabled and about to occur when opening a .csv or .txt file. The message gives the ability to do a “one-time load” of the file without converting the data.
