I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if this is happening to you it’s your fault. You must either live in a coal mine or use terrible tech for your calls. I have voip calls all the time and they’re all what you’re asking for. It just takes a tiny amount of forethought when deciding on what tech to use.
Not everything is a zeitgeist, Ian.
It's inevitable that someone comes up with methods to detect generated images, since a lot of political (Edit: and financial) capital hinges on that. If AI image generation is inevitable, then methods to analyze images wrt. known generators are even more inevitable.
As an anecdote, I tried to schedule interviews just after lunch break when I hoped interviewers are sleepy and they might get less ideas to ask questions. :)

The other preffered hour was right before the work day ends.
We’ve built our own CMS in Ex with the interface in LiveView and an admin. It builds pages as a single json document comprised of a list of blocks and components, which map to elixir functions and can render themselves.

It’s one of those things that we want to release when we get time as think the primitives will be useful for people.
That may be a contributory factor in the US, but inflation is global. As a homeowner in the UK, my house did not appreciate in value more than usual, our salaries have not risen by anywhere near inflation, and our pensions have fallen!
And, you know, be in military shape. And be in military. The salary should be serviceman + head cook.
You'll need a few years yet for that. Most old people around today used rotary phones unironically.
But if other people are lazy, why would I entertain interruptions from them? I generally don’t do any work voice or video calls because, simply, they are an interruption. So they need to have an agenda and be scheduled. And indeed, I do not listen to voice messages; type it out or don’t send it at all.
To coin a phrase, the nice thing about news websites is that there are so many to choose from:

Here's the BBC quoting the UN:

OpenSSL downgrades horror bug after week of speculation
Just weighing in as someone who has submitted next to nothing, but also who dislikes dark patterns generally. I don't think this is the sort of situation where hiding the reality of what has happened makes sense (point 2). If your spamming HN you probably have the smarts to also automate checking if your spam account has been banned (shadow or otherwise) by also automating a check that loads HN when not logged in. I personally, don't see the point in hiding this from a submitting user. I wouldn't like it if it happened to me, and I wouldn't expect it to be an effective technical countermeasure to much spam (though I concede there may be evidence to the contrary on this that represents fact instead of my opinions)

As to point 1, I don't know how hard it would be to expose some of the information. I don't expect the moderation team (hi dang! keep being so awesome!, this isn't even sarcastic, what you manage to do genuinely awes me, I know I couldn't manage to moderate HN.) to have the time to post individual comments about every ban, but it does feel like something that could perhaps be made less opaque. If you know it was banned/auto-dead due to a specific rule, then thats better than just having no idea. With that information I know I would feel slightly less intimidated asking hn@ycombinator.com in an email why my submission was dead/banned, that email goes from "why my did you block my thing" to "I see my submission ran into this rule that has nothing to do with me personally, I just thought it was cool and wanted to either know why, or if my cool thing could get given a second chance" ... which feels a lot less confrontational to me.

I try to think about the "ops burden" with this sort of thing, there may be good reasons why things ended up the way they are, but that doesn't mean things couldn't improve and so its at least worth the discussion from time to time like this, even if the original reasons hold and for whatever reason, the current behaviour is still the optimal one for now.
Thanks, but I need real users, not family and friends who won't tell me the truth lol.

Yes, but it didn't break down the divide between the professionals and the amateurs. CGI is still not common in the amateur world. People aren't producing successful movies in game engines in their homes. That is still up to Hollywood, even so Hollywood is using the same game engines that people have access to at home.

Compare that to what Youtube did to TV, where Youtube did in fact replace a lot of peoples TV watching with Youtube content. A similar shift hasn't happened with movies. Good low budget indie movies are still extremely rare, and generally aren't done in CGI, but filmed classically with cameras.

Cameras, editing and compositing getting cheaper and completely changed the game for Youtube-style video productions. Machinima just didn't have the same impact. Creating CGI/game assets is still a costly and timely endeavor out of reach for most amateurs at a movie-scale. You see a few 5min shorts every now and then, but no two hour movies.
As long as they keep the “TRON Lightcycle Power Run” ride open, it's still better than being stuck inside an IKEA (previously: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-62547503 ); at least you get some outdoor area.

I don't really see the relevance? We can rephrase your comment as "if people like your game, sometimes they follow your Twitter account".

That's just an example of using Twitter to advertise your other content.

On the other side, in some parts of Europe there's a discussion to let the infected go to work (even with symptoms and of course, if one's feeling capable of work) - but, still, go to work with other infected/work with infected.

I can understand that with so high density in people even one infection can lead to big massive spreads and thus to overloaded capacity of local hospitals in less than 48h - but, it's too much. I don't have a suggestion how to handle that either.
The Best would be everyone just stick a few weeks to the measures and diminish the countless spots to a few controllable one's. If that would be possible, we would not only reduce the cases, but also slowly minimize the spreading. May be 1-2 months, everything wouldn't be a problem any more..

There is a more serious and thorough treatment in this area in the many books by the late wealth researcher Thomas J. Stanley.

Common points he would repeat:

- There is no magic formula to find rich people or to become one

- They don't live above their means

- Beside poor impulse control, a habit of lottery ticket purchasing is the strongest signal negatively correlated with long-term wealth

- Rich people often married but rarely divorce because it's a more efficient lifestyle and financial suicide to split

- Rich people tend to meet their spouses in college where there's a better cohort to meet

"Stop Acting Rich" was a title of one of his books. Not sure if it's an accident or the remote possibility of a ripoff. It's an obvious title.

One interesting positive correlation with single-family, suburban, non-forest-interface home property values is the number of trees. It's not a perfect rule, but single-family home areas without trees tend to appear unappealing and are statistically less affluent (i.e., fake grass, plastic flamingos, wrought iron fencing, and bars on the windows). The exception to the rule is San Jose, California which is a horrible mix of unmaintained houses with overgrown weeds beside nice homes. If property owners there had leadership sense and wanted to maintain their property values, they would influence code enforcement to cite unkempt properties.
Same. Drinking whatever is in my hands is almost a tic. Filling it with water is an excellent idea!
That's not how it works. You would just request a VC that states personal information about you from the government, including age (like an ID card which most countries have)... then, when you're required to prove you're a certain age, you can create a presentation object which only contains your age, nothing else. You can present that as many times as you want without the government knowing you did that (unless the receiver of the presentation decides it wants to inform the government about that! In which case there's nothing technology can do to help).
I can't remember the last time i actually held a phone to my ear... I always always have a bluetooth headset/car around.

That’s ok. Metadata improves context but isn’t mandatory. Some people want it, others don’t bother.

It’s like sending a calendar invite. Sure, you can send an invite with nothing but your email address and a date+time. But many people would find an empty invite a bit rude. It’s just polite to include some context about the meeting. The phone call should evolve in that direction.

COVID has taught me a lot about the cultural differences between the west and China.

A friend of mine worked in China for many years, but after several months of being locked in their apartment block and tested every 72 hours they chose to leave China.

I honestly couldn't imagine people in the West putting up with that, however I'm yet to fully understand why Chinese people continue to suffer the rules without riot.
You might be right, but in general, most famous channels on youtube are famous bcs of youtube.

Show HN: Xata, serverless database on top of PostgreSQL and Elasticsearch
Hi!

Xata was on HackerNews once before (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28590816) a bit over a year ago, when we were at the beginning of our development. We've promised we're going to do a Show HN page when we come out of Private Beta, and this just happened today.

Xata is a product in the serverless database space. We know that the space is fairly crowded now, with lots of great companies started recently. We're happy to see a fresh wave of database products, that are focused more on the developer experience, rather than a race to the bottom on performance and cost.

We are part of this wave, but we also think our offering is quite differentiated:

- First, out of all the options out there, we're aiming to be the easiest to get started with and the easiest to use. We are cloud-only and our product feels more like a SaaS-like experience than an IaaS experience. If you've hacked together an app with data stored in Airtable or GitHub, you should try Xata next time. It's just as easy to use but has constraints, data integrity, type-safe clients, etc.

- We offer functionality from multiple data stores. Today, the source of truth for the data is in PostgreSQL and we also replicate it in Elasticsearch. This means that we can offer free-text-search and aggregation functionality that goes beyond what's possible in PostgreSQL. In the future, we'll add more functionality around in-memory caching, queues, etc, so all data patterns that you need are available via a single, serverless, consistent API. This sounds complex (and it is), but the complexity is entirely on our side. Your application can just reap the benefits.

- It is vertically integrated and focused on developer workflows: we provide a nice web UI, a TypeScript/JavaScript SDK, and VS Code extension, all working together with minimal friction. The TypeScript SDK is somewhat similar with Prisma, because it gives you type safety for both the parameters and the return types. However, it is different because it is a pure-TypeScript implementation, which means it is more lightweight and can run in Cloudflare Workers, Deno Deploy, etc.

Some more links, if you want to dig into the details:

- For examples of the API, see our API Guide: https://xata.io/docs/api-guide/insert

- For technical details about the inner workings of Xata, see our fairly long How it Works guide: https://xata.io/docs/intro/how-it-works

- We think this approach is new and gave it a name: Serverless Data Platform, which is explained here: https://xata.io/docs/intro/serverless-data-platfrom

- For a high-level overview of the features available, see: https://xata.io/features

We would really love your feedback!
Twitter verification is meant for people with sufficient notoriety (say, elected officials, artists/actors, leaders in their field) to prevent impersonation and fraud.

So, if I get rickrolled on twitter, I can tell whether it was a post by the real Rick Astley or by some impersonator.

Or for another more topical example, the tag #TrumpIsDead is currently trending on Twitter. If I click on that for more information, the verified check might tell me who has notoriety as a journalist or which accounts represent official news organizations, vs who is trying to further promote a false meme (in protest for Elon forbidding content moderation in the lead-up to the US elections)

I don’t even pick up my phone anymore unless its from someone I know. Most calls are now just spam.

Audio quality on most calls is also atrocious. I have to keep the phone glued to my ear and walk out to a quiet room to even hear anything.

Email and phone, I hate to say it, are dying. And spam is the culprit in both cases.

> We effectively didn't, though, at least as far as artists are concerned. Streaming revenue is abysmal for artists.

But that's not Napster's fault. Spotify pays a lot of money for playing of a song, of that the artist only sees a tiny percentage due to music middlemen trying to relive the 90's.
As a native speaker, I interpret it the same way as you.

The most common usage of this form is probably the idiom “It’s all over but the shouting,” meaning a foregone conclusion that still has some steps to go through before it becomes official. Historically, this phrase comes from electioneering where there is only one viable candidate standing for office: The competition is practically completed, but the actual voting (the ‘shouting’) has not yet occurred to ratify this result.
Interesting, I find it, while not beautiful, quite pleasant, and in fact enjoy walking or biking on such streets.

OTOH, while I heard that Paris is considered beautiful by some people, I didn't like it at all, and no longer visit there even if I happen to be going to other parts of France.

Similarly, I would never voluntarily spend a day in SF and several other famous US cities.

I guess the idea of "ugly" is quite subjective.
There needs to be a Big(O) table for UX. Number of user interactions and decisions to get to each functionality in each screen size. Then comes prioritization. You can only fit so many buttons and boxes close to the hottest zones of user interaction, especially on Mobile, and even less of them in advertising-powered products.

When someone prioritizes the wrong use case on premium real estate and pushes back buttons that matter to you more, that only gets worse over time - your needs are not their priority.

That is why on mobile at least the giants are not always giant enough to squish competition entirely - one can always provide a better UX than Facebook or Google with a small but focused app that works for your problem better. The real damage to competition comes from device apis that put UX overhead to use cases you serve bette than them, but then give their apps with the same use case UX priority in their next release.

Just like data and code, complexity increases for UX with each added user story and use case, but the screen space remains the same.
The requirement being “we need to maintain thing thing!”
I agree that it would be nice if more platforms facilitated this kind of exchange . I don't see Twitter doing this at all. The majority of my observations suggest ideas being lobbed at high speed, attached to a heavy object.

Besides that I'm unconvinced that this kind of platform for spreading new ideas is what most users on Twitter want from Twitter. The metaphor has become repeated so often that it almost sounds like it is Twitter's reason to be but I rather doubt that it was designed with that in mind.
Wait till you find out how brains work. Will you be mandating copyright enforcement chips in the frontal lobe? Your position is untenable and will be destroyed thoroughly, if not in places where Disney and co. are entrenched then everywhere else first and eventually in Disneylands too.
that last bit gave me a huge chuckle
>Except, in copyright law it depends on the _input_

I am not a lawyer, but my understanding of copyright law is that this is explicitly the opposite.

https://www.wipo.int/edocs/pubdocs/en/wipo_pub_909_2016.pdf

>• reproduction of the work in various forms, such as printed publications or sound recordings;
>• distribution of copies of the work;
>• public performance of the work;
>• broadcasting or other communication of the work to the public;
>• translation of the work into other languages; and
>• adaptation of the work, such as turning a novel into a screenplay

None of these rights, to me, indicate that copyright protects the input. The AI model is not reproducing any specific works, distributing copies of it, performing it in public, broadcasting it, translating it to another language, or adapting the work from one format to another.
Like anything OAuth2-related, it's frustratingly vague and jargony.

Verifiable credentials is a terrible name. We have had verifiable cryptographic credentials for more than 40 years.

What I want, is a practical protocol to prove to a third party

1. That I am a real person (e.g, has a unique credential issued by my government)

2. That I'm the only one currently "logged in" with them, with that credential.

3. Without the third party, (and with as few parties as mathematically possible) knowing which of the people with a credential issued by my government I am.

In short, to prove that I'm a real person, that I'm not running an army of sockpuppets, and yet preserve my privacy.
Plenty coverage exists in Chinese from children shows to academia, and you can also show up on Hainan island to watch a launch.

Having some experience with Steam games and cheaters, I can predict based on these tweets that one thing that will happen is spammers will find a way to buy check mark subscriptions through the country with the cheapest price.
It matters when people think China is a High-Tech powerhouse. Until 2017 they weren't even able to produce ball-pens domestically. They had to institute a five year long program to figure out how to make the small balls that go into the tip of it.

Also China is unapolegitically militarizing it's space presence, and that should bother you a lot more than any US ambitions in that regard.
