There absolutely are different tiers of journalism - but that's about quality and reputation of publication.

The Washington Post and the New Yorker have higher editorial standards than Fox News.

There are important stories for which it simply isn't possible to get an expert to go on the record, for all kinds of reasons.

What's going on inside Twitter right now is a great example. Anyone who leaks details with their name attached to them will clearly get fired, or sued, or both.

That's why good journalists quote anonymous sources. If they could get a reputable source to go on record instead they would obviously do so!
In this case the two booms come from the "nose" (the engines, since at this point the booster is flying backwards) and from the grid fins at the far end. Given that the Falcon 9 boosters are about 70m tall, that would mean about a fifth of a second delay between the two booms when the booster is traveling at Mach 1.
And is also the appropriate reaction to using Android Studio.

I think a better title would include <Digitized> before <Life>.

The problem with relying too much on things like photos to recall your memories of previous events is that typically the photos overwrite the actual memories, i.e. you lose your built-in record of sensory impressions of events.

Used sparingly, it's probably okay, but working on improving your built-in memory is also a good idea (i.e. the whole memory palace approach).

This kind of thing could be a great aid for early-stage Alzheimer's patients, however.

As far as being used for mass surveillance and social control by authoritarian states bent on managing their captive populations in some dystopian social-credit-scored plantation-labor system, well, I imagine the NSA's DARPA-sourced 'Total Information Awareness" programs are well ahead of anything seen in public by now.
Not OP. I add only from my laptop, I share with Syncthing to my other devices. Nobody else use my passwords. If a customer has a per team password they either never change it or in the very rare cases they do, they tell me the new password when I ask why the old one doesn't work anymore. They don't let me in their shared password manager anyway (only one customer has one.)
Massive Multiplayer Online... something?
You can absolutely blame NASA for that. They are calling the shots and making the design decisions.

Its not like NASA puts out a check and simply waits for the rocket to arrive. With the NASA process, they own the design, they are in meetings on specifications, they requests tests, ect. They micromanage and direct work down to the nuts and bolts, literally and figuratively.

By analogy, they are the head Chef in the kitchen. With SpaceX, they are the customer at the restaurant.
Those look pretty cool. Also good to see other companies getting products out there. It would be terrible if Meta gets a stranglehold on the ecosystem.
Have you ever read Ted Chiang's 'The Truth of Fact, the Truth of Feeling'? What if forgetting is a part of forgiveness or healing? Eidetic memory seems fraught to me, but I'd love to know your thoughts on this.

From the HN guidelines: "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith."

Ask HN: Speed Cameras versus Hillbillies – Experiment?
The genesis of this comes from Schmee visiting Whistling Diesel and posting it recently. The jokes about culture differences are pretty stock, but the ease of chat and shared love of auto culture was easy watching. Their exchanges about speeding in England versus the US is particularly amusing.

So, how about an experiment? Considering the US has experimented with red light cameras with well below good results overall, from a safety claim. Speed is a significant safety issue (or at least the authorities and the insurance people keep saying and making the rules to enforce) but we also have guns. Lots of guns.

Take almost an exact duplicate of the standard / common residential speed camera, drop a few of them in rural-ish or adjacent areas in TN, KY, AR and maybe GA, and make one distinct change: put a large sign on it that says “CAMERA ONLY CAPTURES FOOTAGE OF SPEEDERS”

I’d guess it’s less than a week before somebody figures out driving slow also helps with aim. Would be an interesting study I think. Heck, I’d put one in my garage as a souvenir / warning about reality.
And the main motivation for maximizing engagement is selling ad space. It seems that ads have become a major net negative to society.
Show HN: Cross-Cloud Search Engine
Hi HN,

We built a global search engine for GCP and Azure. Today we added supported for AWS (this video was made right before).

We started on this project when we noticed the various quirks with the default search engine in the GCP console. For example, substring search not applied on various kinds of resources. Additionally, we wanted to query across workspaces simultaneously, rather than having to iterate through and query each one individually.

We have a live demo available but we don't think it makes sense asking strangers and the HN crowd to authorize us to this data.

This search product is one component of our platform. We want to make reading data from the cloud resources you own easier but also also making provisioning easier too.

Utilizing cloud infrastructure effectively is difficult for companies small and large. Employers cite the skills gap as the biggest challenge in their cloud adoption. DevOps is also a cost center for most organizations outside the pure tech plays. Cloud Engineers are expensive. Large enterprises can absorb this overhead but it's tough on SMEs. Platform-as-a-service alleviates companies of this burden but introduces a cost structure that will end up costing more at scale. Furthermore, it becomes increasingly expensive to migrate as you integrate deeper into PaaS.

We think we can solve this cost dilemma by providing thin abstractions over infrastructure-as-a-service wherein clients retain the optionality to readily go back to their underlying infrastructure. Unlike PaaS which much recoup R&D investments on proprietary service implementations, we want to open this up to 3rd parties so that we can focus on the contract layer (service brokering).

The Search product is more meaningful for enterprises operating at scale with unwieldy complexity. The Low-Code-No-Code provisioning product is suitable for SMEs that are just getting started on their cloud journey and don't have the bandwidth for CloudOps but also where the cost structure of PaaS doesn't make sense. This product is still under development and we would love to have users try our prototype.

Regards

YOLO v3's paper is hilarious. The model was state of the art at the time, yet it's written in a tongue-in-cheek way:

I would expect there should be a patch sometime today, but maybe not for a few hours based on prior experience.
> "The algorithm" is mostly humans clicking buttons.

Actually, the algorithm is not the button clicks, but the code that interprets those button clicks. I don't think many people notice this, but HN gives a bonus to longer posts, in terms of keeping them at the top. It's not just the upvotes that determine which votes surface to the top. There are probably other signals that are inputted into the algorithm, as well, with different weights attached to them. For example, I wouldn't be surprised if certain inflammatory words or phrases subtracted points from a post on HN.

For the forum I run, I auto-generate a list of the top posts for the week. It is based on the number of likes, but also on the length of the post. This is then filtered manually, removing inflammatory posts. HN, with its effective moderation, doesn't seem to have much of a different process.

1. You can design an algorithm that optimizes for engagement and attempts to surface non-inflammatory posts.

2. You can design another algorithm that actively penalizes inflammatory posts.

3. You can further add a human element (a moderator) to penalize or decrease the visibility of inflammatory posts.

These are things that actually happen in online communities. However, they also don't always happen to the degree that would be beneficial to society as a whole. Hence, the problem.

Like other industries (oil extraction), there are negative externalities that can and should be accounted for.
Hmm yeah, digging around it seems that Wikipedia is probably incorrect with the expendable pricing. Seems like there aren't really any recent numbers available for expendable F9s as the last intentionally expended F9 was 3 years ago.

When I was at dropbox I saw quite a few devs provisioning non-mac laptops with their linux distro of choice. Always wondered what was stopping those people from just making a copy of rserver/rclient without IT/security noticing.
Why would they do anything to actively support Linux on a device that is explicitly meant for developing Windows applications on ARM?

They allow Secure Boot to be disabled, which is nice. Expecting anything more from them is absurd.
Yea there is that method. I think it has something to do with chaos monkey testing or some sort.

It seems like a hard problem to solve: I want to be siloed into subject interest groups, like to do with the various hobbies and work that I'm interested in. But I don't want to be shoved into an echo-chamber for politics.

How does the algorithm distinguish between subject interest and politics? The difference is that for subject interest I'm looking for information specific to my subject, but the algorithm optimises instead for groups that agree with my opinion. I'd be quite happy to get information about my subject interest even if I don't agree with it.

Then also the algorithm optimises for high drama, but that's a separate problem.

Before you record someone you should always ask for their consent. This is especially important with Rewind, since the recording happens on your Mac and other meeting participants won't know they are being recorded unless you inform them.

How should I ask for consent?

Here is how we recommend you ask for consent:

"This meeting is important to me so I want to make sure I don't forget what we discussed. Is it ok with you if I use Rewind to record and transcribe the meeting? For our privacy, all data is stored securely on my Mac and not in the cloud."

In addition to saying this verbally, we recommend including this message in your calendar invites so people have a chance to think about it ahead of time. Feel free to link to this help center article as well.

What are the laws around consent?

The laws pertaining to recording other people depend on where the people being recorded live.

While the laws differ from state to state, we believe privacy is so important that we recommend users of our product hold themselves accountable to a much higher standard than the bare legal minimum. We believe all users of our product should proactively seek consent from everyone they record even if they are not legally obligated to do so. Not only is this is the safest approach legally, but it is also just the right thing to do.

What to Know About EU’s Digital Markets Act
Just a minor nitpick but I think the part you're referring to (actually at 11:50 in the video) is showing Chinese soldiers specifically, not just random Chinese civilians. I'd bet that there are few people in either the US or Chinese military who would disagree that the other side is an adversary right now, even if they're not at war.
In the early days, Reddit was touted as a free speech platform (sound familiar?) yet it was always designed to be an echo chamber, and changes to the product up to this point have only ever served that end.

The mechanics of upvote/downvote, in collaboration with activist admins & moderators, ensures that comments which oppose the current group think are hidden, while comments that re-enforce the group-think (even if it is plainly false) are elevated and treated as canon.

The result is that opposing view points are drowned out and then stop all together when those with opposing view points realize the futility. To the outside observer, it would appear that the group think is the real world, when in reality, it is not. This is by design and it is not accidental. Given the politics of reddit staff (which closely match twitter staff) one can see the common thread among these companies and why so many people believe the gaming is by design (because it is.)

Reddit is an unmitigated cesspool of mostly 20-somethings who have accomplished very little, but seemingly know everything. It is one giant cluster-** of propaganda save for a handful of subreddits that are actually sane places with great ideas and content.
I think the short answer to that is 'no' or 'it wouldn't be HN'. At great length:

credit card chargeback worked, Gotogate wanted to charge $30 to refund a flight cancelled by the airline
Yeah, that's what breaks it for me. I try to follow people for technical content, but so many people periodically inject their political opinions that keeping it purely technical is difficult. That'd be ok, except that people who do drive-by political posting almost never post anything interesting or original. It's usually smug attacks on strawman positions or repeating their political tribe's concern of the day. I'm perfectly happy to see original or carefully thought out political views, but I find this low quality stuff hard to ignore because it triggers both my contrarian and pedantic instincts.
It'll take a while to get through all that.
The posts about replicating Twitter strike me like someone in 1995 talking about how best to create a CompuServe clone.
I think the palette of social media products today shows us that Twitter has options, but it needs to decide what it wants to be.

- LinkedIn shows us that if you're going to be seen by people you know in real life, and whose opinion of you may eventually be important, people will be try to gain status and show off, but not in a hostile way. Is that "good"? Possibly only if you have another revenue stream (recruiters) because the content is boring.

- Instagram shows us that if you want to get influencers who can inspire a purchasing intent, you need not just photos and asymmetric follow relationships, but comments should live as a second-class citizen, and posts shouldn't have reply-to structures.

- TikTok shows us that you can get high engagement without much vitriolic disagreement, but only by giving a lot of control to the algorithm, which seeks engagement, and by heavy-handed curatorial bias towards fluffy content. You don't have to suspend or shadow-ban accounts if you can just suppress them forever.

Twitter's big choices in this lens are:

- asymmetric follower relationships

- reply structure among posts, all of which are retweetable

- mostly text posts, with low energy barrier to respond

It structurally favors bickering, retweeting / quoting someone's post to rally a response, etc, even before you consider stuff that gets recommended into your timeline.

What no one's demonstrated is a platform which hosts people discussing potentially contentious issues in a consistently civil and constructive way. I don't know if people can do that, but if you wanted to try:

- lean on NLP heavily to group posts, and highlight the ones that are contributing something new rather than repeating any party line

- multi-dimensional feedback on posts. Not just 'like' or 'retweet', but 'this is insightful', 'this is funny', 'this is cute', 'this makes me uncomfortable', etc

- time-out / forced wait to reply to a post, to kill rapid back and forth
OpenSSL blog post: https://www.openssl.org/blog/blog/2022/11/01/email-address-o...

Q: Are all applications using OpenSSL 3.0 vulnerable by default?

A: Any OpenSSL 3.0 application that verifies X.509 certificates received from untrusted sources should be considered vulnerable. This includes TLS clients, and TLS servers that are configured to use TLS client authentication.

Q: Are there any mitigations until I can upgrade?

A: Users operating TLS servers may consider disabling TLS client authentication, if it is being used, until fixes are applied.
Also be aware sometimes fixes are backported, so the version isn't 100% accurate, ymmv etc.
I'm using a cheap "can" bluetooth speaker, nothing fancy. Because it's mostly just noise from the rain, and the speaker is cheap, there aren't any sound localization issues I'm aware of.

Somehow I doubt most people playing one of the earliest video games found it "boring".
I would say what they call 'composition by capability' is a theory of categorization, in fact similar to Wittgenstein's family resemblance theory.

That said, it's not obvious that the underlying data model needs or should map to a theoretical model for how human cognition works. Maybe it should and it's worth considering the theoretical landscape before setting out, but there are other features that come into play.

I know very little about library science, but I assume they take a more practical (for this task) approach to this that's worth looking into.
