Yes, I know pnacl very well- I used it as a sandbox for an idle cycle harvester that ran in the background of Google servers. It was never a workable technology (even when we did heroics to make it work) although many of the ideas were good.

TLS is different from TCP. TLS support might be provided by an OS, but it's certainly something an application can link in since it's really just a byte translator with some additional complex logic. TCP is an OS-level protocol for all the reasons that history chose it (having your network device and network protocol in the same ring).
It's very easy for them to "de-monetize" accounts, like YouTube does. They can leave the anti-semitism up, but ban ads from showing up anywhere near it.

Honestly I think most brands taking any kind of moral stand will end up becoming customers again. Brands have no actual morals and know their customers' attention spans are short.
The virtualisation problem may definitely play a role! In my experience, ClearType in a VM is often very very wrong. I think it may even be off by default if Windows can't find details about the current screen.

Alternatively, you may be getting the "RDP" experience for optimized drivers, which is just very blocky.

I prefer ClearType over whatever macOS does (or did, been a while since I had a Hackintosh) but combining different rendering styles is always jarring. Helping Mac people through remote desktop always made the text look wrong to me, probably for the same reason. When you expect text to look a certain way, alternative renderers are always wrong.

This is also something I notice with some custom GUI libraries that implement their own font rendering. I've dropped several GUI tools because I just got frustrated by how their text always looked different from normal text.
Does it run on low voltage dc?
how many times has he been called "Kanye West" in headlines and news stories in the past couple weeks? nobody gives a shit about deadnaming him, because he's a Bad Guy Saying Bad Things, which proves that there actually is a political conditional on the supposed core moral value of "deadnaming is an utterly terrible thing to do, always, and there's never any excuse for it".

I've tried repeatedly to bring this up online and nobody even attempts to explain this obvious moral contradiction away. I genuinely want to know how someone can hold both "deadnaming is reprehensible and should never be done ever" and "it's okay to just call him 'Kanye West' lol" in their head at the same time without imploding in a poof of self-contradiction.
> If I am using it to imply that we should hate black people or treat them differently, it would be reasonable to moderate away; and if I am not, e.g. my post is intended only in some legitimate legal/statistics context and is not part of social politics shitposting, then it makes sense not to moderate.

Or just allow it to be downvoted away. No need for moderation if people can just chose to not see something community thinks is shit. Or block the person. No need for overbearing moderation, we're not babies that need cuddling. Reddit is kinda nice example here, on few bigger subreddits like /r/games mod play police by deleting stuff that's already downvoted to oblivion and think they're helping.

> The line gets blurry, and part of that is because the people posting know there's a line. When people are arguing, they would like things to be objective ("but it's true"), but that's unrealistic/irrational.

The other side of it is that biased moderators will cut way before what would be considered a line for most and so you can get to the place where honest question might get banned, just because it is entirely impossible to interpret based on the text alone and mods get into habit of assuming bad will at every step.

Like for example (from few years back) asking what is about those pronouns next to the person's name ? Random troll might use it as bait, my mom would ask that as genuine questions as she's not exactly, well, "modern"
And this answers the Fermi Paradox. The universe is an extremely hostile environment for life to evolve.
> The only two possible filters on the list of videos of a channel now are most recent and most popular.

Isn't that all there's ever been? Just chronological and popularity? This post isn't very helpful unless you say what you think has been removed. (I, for one, have always wished for most popular over the last 30 days, but oh well.)

> Also, there's less videos on a single row now.

You're going to have to tell us how many there were before and how many there are now. I'm not seeing any difference. It also depends -- are you talking about the home page? Channel home page? Channel videos tab? Because they all act differently.

Are you sure you just haven't changed your zoom settings or something? Or your window width?
I'm a user of gitea and sympathetic to this open letter but it doesn't mean much without significant contributors signing on, and being marked as such. I assume the Gogs developer isn't happy about this but I don't see his name either. Right now it's unclear the connection of the signees to the Gitea project.
You're absolutely right, they're pretty much not verified unless there's a dispute and someone says "That's not my signature"
Some people will try to push the idea of individualized user-end moderation but that idea has not been successfully implemented since Usenet's Alt heirarchy faded from the internet's popular consciousness. It simply isn't practical and doesn't address that sometimes you just need to kick someone out of the platform for being a caustic shithead.
The lunatic-proof glasses put on by some users won't help the fact that people new to the site will be scared off by all the diarrhea mixed with the slowly disappearing amount of actual content to the point where the people being awful are the only ones left. Eventually they'll entrench their bullshit until that becomes the character of the whole site. Normal people are repulsed by it at first glance and those left only descend deeper and deeper into their own mad echo chamber.
I can see these kinds of bans working in the EU where car ownership isn't a necessity. However, in the US where cars are often the ONLY means of transportation, I imagine they will go down like a lead filled balloon. How many barely running gas cars are the only thing letting poorer Americans make it to work and school? I really wish the US would work much harder on making car ownership unnecessary.

In the end though, I won't miss the stupid cars that go up and down my street farting at 120db for no freaking reason because the owner "Want car go vroom!"
God, there is nothing that I hate more than MS teams editor. It's the worst of wysiwyg editing. Discord does it right imo.
I disagree, there's no meaningful distinction whatsoever.

> I assume you mean the state or federal government wants to introduce a new law.

Why? If it were any other issue, no one would care about the distinction. If Allegan County, Michigan banned firearms, people would still claim it's an infringement of 2nd Amendment rights, even though it's just "concerned parents asking relevant institutions at the local level" and not necessarily a state/federal law. But when that same exact county bans books and/or libraries instead, suddenly it "doesn't count" for some reason?
TSLA is currently trading at less than half of its all time high. He could've made the same comment to a reporter from the NYTimes or Wall St. Journal with the same effect.
I don't know how to define excessive in this case, but it made the website much more tolerable for me, and I'm grateful for being able to do it.

The thumbnails are very distracting, and I found it hard to pay attention to the video playing on screen.

I don't miss the thumbnails at all, not one bit.
Myocarditis in young men below the age of 18 from the vaccine is real and verified. This was even shown by the CDC during the ACIP meeting for the bivalent booster. It's roughly about 1 in 5000 chance of getting myocarditis, and about 1/3 of the patients are still suffering from it 90 days after diagnosis.

I'd like Markdown if things were non-arbitrary. Is asterisk or underline italics? Does the href go before or after the link text? And I have no idea what the format of lists is, I guess you just put "-" or "1." and it automatically recognizes it?

> Also I can teach someone in 5 minutes

I bet you can teach people the subset of HTML that includes the Markdown features in about five minutes, too.
Probably battery life and processor. Apple smokes everything Android, with a battery not nearly as big. Then there's cohesiveness - watching Android chat apps come and go is laughable.

That aside, it feels certainly like Android leaves you with Goldilocks syndrome. You -can- buy phones with great battery life, great cameras, and great software/ui, but not all 3. Pixel has middling battery life. Samsung's UI/software is slow and bloated. Moto has terrible cameras.
It'll be very interesting to see what advertisers stick around through all this mayhem.
I have no specific love for Twitter but a platform is "absolute shit" if you can't make all the jokes you want to make? I mean is HN absolute shit because they ban excessive language, personal attacks, or reddit-style humor? I'd argue it's successful because it has these rules in place.

I also have seen incredibly too much "It's just a joke bro" "defenses" for saying certain things that I have little sympathy for it. Learn the bounds of the platform/community you want to participate in and either stay within those bounds or find somewhere else to participate.
I think the credit card check sort of makes sense.

Suppose Alex gets a credit card, signs it, and then Bob steals the card and tries to buy something with it at the store. I presume this is back in the days when credit card transactions are processed offline. The store doesn't want to find out at the end of the day that the card has been cancelled and they're not getting the money. "Can you create a plausible replica of the signature on the back of the card" slightly reduces the probability of this scenario happening.

If Alex walks into the store with his shiny new card, but he hasn't signed it yet, the store is actually doing him a favor asking him to sign it - otherwise, if Bob nicks it, Bob can sign the card himself before entering the store, and pass the signature test.

Even the store clerk blindly following the "do the signatures match" procedure like described above produces some small non-stupid net positive security value.
I’ve been upset at this kind of thing before, and after looking into it calmed down. Turns out flash drives aren’t that fast, kinda slow actually, and short of installing multiple ~nvme ssds in a raid config the extra bandwidth not needed. Main use case where it might matter is transferring movies, but usually done over wifi. So this probably saves them a dollar and supports APPL.
Probably from larger save files than you'd feasibly be building on the Switch alone.
Imho, Freetube is the best way to use YouTube.

However if you travel at relativistic speeds it’s possible and likely for particles in the ligh cone ahead of you to be blue shifted to gamma. It’s a major thing we seem to leave of when talking about interstellar travel.

It’s one of the lovely things about the Alcubierre drive, if anyone ever figures out how to make it work that is. You’re traveling in a bubble that is moving at slower speeds, so the light cone is hitting you with fairly mild blue shifting instead of both barrels.
No one is getting offended for you saying your crush was Ellen Page.
I have removed all feeds from the homepage, all recommended feeds, all comments, all video overlays with uBO. History is disabled, watch later hidden. I hardly ever use search directly on YT.

The easiest way for me not to get consumed by trash is to proactively hide it. I leaned that I have low self control when it comes to data consumption, so I block everything I identify as dangerous.
I generally agree with your post, but that question is really bad, as it can be seen as mansplaining. The fact finding is fine, but requires a gentler approach.
I think this is attributing democracy to capitalism which isn’t warranted. At best the structure moves from aristocracy to a dictatorship, neither of which are democratic.

As an example from governments: The Chinese legislator is ruled by the communist party. The National People’s Congress has almost 3000 representatives. Even though there are almost 10x more representatives then in the USA legislator (which is still more then double per capita), this doesn’t mean the China’s legislator is more democratic then the USA’s legislator. Far from it. Now if Xi Jinping would dismantle the Congress and assume dictatorial powers (like Caesar crossing the Rubicon) this would just move China from being a totalitarian republic to a dictatorship (again like Ancient Rome after the civil wars), at no point in this affair does the common population in China have any say in the laws that govern them (not even by proxy, as is the case in the USA; but by proxy of a proxy of a proxy etc. effectively thinning out any democratic say to nothing).
If you juice something at 210 watts for 9 minutes, you've pushed 31 watt-hours. That's double the storage capacity of even a good-sized battery phone. The 210W is probably a pretty brief peak!

Still very impressive. I wonder how quickly the battery degrades from this. It'd be interesting to know if the user can elect slower charging when connected eith this charger.

Also very much looking forward to high power usb-pd starting to show up! Dunno if that's whats used here but it's a cool future having 240w over common consumer cables. (Yes Extended Power requires new specced cables, but tbh they shouldnt need to be that significantly more expensive).
The ol' Barrens Chat Law from WoW. Need to find Mankrik's Wife for that level 20 quest? Don't ask "Where is Mankrik's Wife?" instead say "If anyone is looking for Mankrik's Wife I found her by the auction house in Ratchet" and watch 25 players immediately respond that you're wrong and the real location is X.

On a more serious note, while this works it can backfire if someone follows the wrong info too far, and it can make you look clueless if done too much. If you need to do this, I feel the best way is to also phrase it as a question but leading towards the incorrect answer. Something like "I've been trying to get X working in Elixir but keep getting errors. It looks like [library] doesn't support [feature]?"
> For some reason, these Wikipedia editorial decisions are extra controversial

Because there is a significant group of people who will insist on using a trans person's birth name even if it's no longer correct, being deliberately hostile but trying to hide behind a thin veil of plausible deniability.
Not even close to true. If Apple were to exfiltrate your files, or monitor your screen intentionally without you opting in, they’d be taken to pieces in court.
Copyright doesn't exist in a vacuum someone owns the copyright on the logo, it's up to them to determine who they want to transfer / license that to. Trademark will be up to the USPTO and other jurisdictional bodies to determine who has the right to use it to minimize confusion to consumers.

The people doing all the work are "stealing" from the "community" that contributes much less? If someone wants to fork here, it seems like they would also need to step up the amount of contributions they're doing if the people currently doing the work are the ones organizing a way to make some money to pay for their time.
I also didn’t know about this. There’s a problem with features like these - casual user doesn’t even realize it exists, but motivated actors can easily exploit it to correct the conversation.
You used to be able to filter by oldest to newest which doesn't look possible anymore
That’s one fraction of the definition. You might consider other perspectives.
It seems color coded cables would be a nearly zero cost solution. I wonder why identical steel cables were preferred, and how this wasn't an issue in manufacturing?
this is good. there should be more services to pool DNS, email addresses, and cell phone numbers. this should be a basic tool for the hacker to get around the muggle.
If this is currently mayhem then the past was clearly chaos.
> What does the author think it means?

A detestable person that thinks he can circumvent the regime? Presumably a paleo-conservative (or whatever the opposite of neo-liberal is in the mind of the blogger) would not be so naive and would look at real "solutions", as opposed to the neo-liberal, who is interested in non-solutions.

Pretty awful ideas floating around in this guy's head.
Ask HN: As an indie developer, how can you fight fraud?
I'm the developer of Rectangle [1], a FOSS window manager for macOS, and its paid version, Rectangle Pro.

This past year, someone created a fraudulent site[2] that has gained enough traction to rank on the first page of Google search results for my official site. Users have started falling for the scam, and are buying a cracked version of my paid app.

It would appear that my only recourse is to report the fraudulent site and associated accounts to each of their services (registrar, Google Safebrowsing, etc), which I have done. Unfortunately, there is no result from this, and I've started to try to get my users to also report it [3].

Is there anything else I can do? Does anyone else have a similar experience where they were successful?

Transphobia is pretty clearly against twitters rules. They weren't really banned, they were locked out until they deleted their tweet. All they had to do was delete the tweet.
In some cases, it is only a professional identity, and their legal name is unchanged. But others do change their legal name, and Wikipedia still mentions the birth name. Same with married women who take a spouse's name.
The game, while good (i'd rather play Terra invicta than a lot of 4X games right now), feels unfinished and have some part that are either too easy or take too long.

It needs balancing to be clear. But i like that it isn't too micro-intensive.

Vicky3 is my new favorite 4X game now. 3rd playthrough, i really like it.
Yep. Firefox (seems to be a pattern in the replies). Back-back-forward every time on YouTube now. It's terrible.
Medium has https://scribe.rip/
> Quartz watches are superior in almost every metric: they cost less, tell better time […]

This is true to a certain extent, in that an equivalent level of accuracy is generally cheaper with a quartz watch than a mechanical watch, but it’s not true across the board. I have a relatively basic mechanical watch that’s dramatically more accurate over a month than the Timex Easy Reader I bought for $25. High accuracy quartz watches are more expensive than you might think.
> If I get sent any messages like those examples on the left it actually upsets me.

I spend lots of time responding to issues and informal messages like that. Processing vague reports like this is nearly a daily task for me. The examples there cut deep for me.

Writing well just isn't natural. Mentally, you're on one level of the stack, and it takes work to back it out again. My forever case-in-point about this is log messages. Log messages are, by default, written terribly because the reader is not kept in mind. The log will be encountered with little context (maybe a timestamp) in the middle of a 5 MB file. If you are inside of a nested loop, your message formatting _needs to include both loop variables_, and when those are objects, there's a very non-obvious decision about what data from them is relevant to the log.

It's the same in human communication. Conversations do have context, yes. You can and should relax the rules of context as you get the ball rolling in a 1-on-1 chat with someone, but with many people in a room, or when starting a conversation, it's so important.
"Parents told government to ban books" is still government banning the books
> Yes, you need to obtain “permission” before you build any manufacturing structure on your own land with your own money.

> I understand the reasoning behind the need for a PWD NOC. What if they’re planning to build a road through the land on which we intend to do our construction. It’s certainly worth notifying the public works department before we do any construction activity.

Seems strange to me that it is on you to check that the government isn't planning on building on the land you own.
While I'm aware that companies like Adobe and Autodesk have a colossal stronghold in many creative industries, I also have no doubt that their repeated anti-consumer decisions will eventually bury them. The neglect for the performance and effectiveness of their software is painfully obvious. Make no mistake, they'll get theirs. Rome fell, after all.

The alternatives nowadays are good enough that if you really hate Adobe, they are almost a no-brainer to switch to. Affinity, DaVinci, Penpot, Armor Lab/Paint cover 90% of their offerings.

Ah yes, the "shouting up from the rabbit-hole problem".

> people "on the spectrum" often having low "theory of mind" capabilities.

I somewhat take issue with this, as people on the spectrum are more likely to over-communicate, all other things being equal. Techies are rather caught in a web of social status pressures. Draw a 2x2 grid. On the top axis is the correctness versus incorrectness of your assumption. On the side axis is whether you assume ignorance or knowledge. The social calculus always favors assuming a prior understanding:

correct incorrect
+--------------+--------------+
| | |
| | lose |
ignorance | neutral | status |
| | points |
| | |
+--------------+--------------+
| | |
| | |
understanding | points | points |
| gained | gained |

Welcome to HN. We’re super serious intellectuals here and a joy at parties.
the corruption business is very similar to racket. the threat being making you lose indefinite amount of time (instead of violence).
as a business you have deadlines and not meeting them would make you lose money. sometimes losing money can be deadly to the company, that's why people unwillingly participate in corruption.

the business model of corruption is : 1- slow the process as much as you can 2- some people will have deadlines and will be willing to pay to meet them 3- profit

the slowness is there on purpose, to be able to provide quick process as a paid service
That is better by 1.5 minutes preceding the prior footage, but the commotion has already commenced when this video starts. Curiously, probably circumstantial, Hu reaching for Xi's paper has been omitted from this video.

Edit: Despite all the foreign media present, we are only seeing clips. Has the entire event been posted online?
What were they banned for? Looking through the content, I don't see any of the egregious hate speech or incitement of violence that we've seen in other bans like Trump.
> Elon doesn't actually believe in a free marketplace of ideas,

Is he banning left wing accounts? Is there any evidence of what you say?
After the Alex Jones verdict, can't they just get sued into oblivion for allowing xyz speech? Or more formally, on a long enough timeline it will revert to what it was because of lawsuits and threats of lawsuits.
I very much dislike the "glow" behind the videos now. Its constantly updating and very distracting.
