I've never heard of that either. Is that the same as a water pick?
> Google technically allows apk downloads, but they're "scary" and most users don't know how to perform them.

No matter what happens, this will continue to be true for some percentage of users because they've come to associate downloading software from random sites with things like malware and adware, and not without reason; while there are perfectly legitimate software packages that can't be distributed on the Play Store for one reason or another, by far and away the most common reason for APKs not being on the Play Store or users sideloading is because the app in question is doing something shady or the user is pirating apps from dubious sources that turn the apps in question into trojans.

Even in the desktop world there's some level of trepidation with downloading from websites, particularly on Windows where search results are littered with things like shady SEO-optimized download sites, and that problem pre-dates all modern app stores.

The question is how to solve that. I don't think the answer is to give up and say it's unsolvable and just has to be lived with, especially since doing so isn't going to engender support from those who cling to app stores for safety purposes.
That's the thing is though if most of the web is about sending documents and media, while only a fraction of it is spent on delivering desktop applications, then wouldn't it be better to just split off the part of the runtime needed for applications into it's own thing so we don't have to run untrusted code just to read a blog or watch YouTube?
If the poser is freezing to death in California (CCPA) then we've all got to be worried...
> FTX has dealt a catastrophic blow to crypto’s reputation

I've been in crypto since 2013 and people have been insulting crypto and everyone in it as scammers, I'm not sure how another centralized exchange stealing user funds is any diferent than all the past ones.
The majority of that issue IIRC lies upon the Microsoft Window Manager, and if true, not much Discord can do about that.

I mean, my experience reading legal filings is that lawyers love to throw in these "zingers", in no small part because it is their job to present the most brutal version of the argument on their side. One of my favorite legal filings ever was "Six Ways Buzzfeed Has Misled the Court (Number Two Will Amaze You) … and a Picture of a Kitten".
In a former role, leadership and HR shut down a division meeting after anonymous polls were presented showing how many full time employees were selling plasma, had one or more additional jobs working at least 20 hours a week, were unable meet their retirement targets, and showed real incomes after inflation based on hire year. Almost every employee hired after a certain date lost money while in their role, inversely correlated to profits and expansion of executive roles and compensation.
They should, the bad bankers getting punished helped Iceland bounce back quickly. But the SK Chaebols are really the problem. They have a house of cards built on centralized ownership through leveraged buyouts and collusion. If they don't take the Chaebols down and punish them too, the bankers will just keep going on doing what they. The government keeps pardoning the Chaebol leaders who run into the same problems regardless of their leader, father and son both have the same issues because it is systematic.
It's only 'mandatory' (see comment below) if they (whether the primary operator or the subcontractor) is doing things that aren't strictly for functionality.

The problem is that while the EU hopes that disclosures are designed to introduce friction to make the site more privacy-friendly... let's say that money is still a strong motivator for a lot of websites. I even spotted cookie prompts that were essentially that "close door" button on lifts.

Cash is backed by the military force and economic heft of the country issuing it. For an alternative to exist, it must first and foremost be able to hold its value reliably and that is precisely the niche filled by gold.

Crypto will never fill that void.
Thanks for responding, I edited my comment afterwards as I did some digging and it does seem to have seriously damaged mutual trust in SK. Not exaggerated at all by FP, my first impression was incorrect.
>I am just the sort of person who does not want pity or charity. If I want help, I'll ask for it or do the hiring, thanks.

As someone who fights this same urge, you should know that this makes you appear as closed off and cold to people that you have no intention of being closed off and cold to.

You do this (I suspect) out of a deep seated fear of vulnerability. People pick up on the lack of vulnerability and will not see it as a virtue, but instead will see it as a kind of 'untrustworthiness' if that makes sense? The social contract is that you make yourself a bit vulnerable to other people as a show of trust, they make themselves a bit vulnerable back, and then you have a bond.
There is definitely an energy, art, nutritional, collectable value to a steaming pile of shit.

Show HN: Create hundreds of AI-generated profile pictures
tl;dr: use this to create hundreds of AI-generated profile pictures of yourself!

I’ve been meaning to play around with some of the latest trendy AI models (DreamBooth in this case), so I hacked this together over the weekend. I’m not doing anything particularly sophisticated other than providing a simple UI over an API that does most of the heavy lifting, but if people are interested in giving it a shot, I might invest more in fine-tuning.

>> When you help someone down, they never forget.

That's just wishful thinking. Most of the times they "forget" or somehow think you have had enough money so that wasn't a big effort.

That's why it's not really worth it(imho) to help somehow unless your effort is minimal.
Masks are a bit trickier, since some people are severely immunocompromised or have loved ones who are immunocompromised. If you are undergoing chemo, or your parent is on hospice care, it actually makes sense to keep wearing a mask everywhere, and doctors are encouraging this (not just to defend against COVID germs, but all germs).

But as for outside masks, I agree, it's just straight up unscientific. Especially when people are wearing flimsy cloth masks that do little to ward off COVID germs in the first place! Although I know some people keep them on outside if they're walking between buildings, just because it's easier than taking it on/off constantly.

So anyway, masks kind of fall into that category of "I ain't gonna judge if I don't know your exact situation."

But I agree, it would be nice to be able to tell my friends who are perfectly healthy with no at-risk loved ones, hey, you really don't need to keep wearing a mask outside for the rest of your life. Both because it's silly, and because it seems genuinely damaging to their mental health... I have a couple friends who still get anxious/upset when someone gets within 6 feet of them without a mask on, and it's just a needlessly stressful way to live that is taking a very, very serious toll on their mental health.
I'm also intrigued by the column labelled "Accute fear" [sic].
That can be said of many things. In the context of average joe HNer, that's pretty frickin' expensive.
As a stepping stone. we could worry just about the panic=abort case, where this is all easier.

For panicking, I think we would want to switch to a model where borrower not borowee runs destructor for &mut; that way we can support "moving out of &mut temporarily" too.
Use Firefox's built in privacy blocking tools as a bare minimum.

Personally, I use uBlock, the built in privacy list, and most crucially: Cookie AutoDelete.

I have it set such that if I unload a domain for 30 minutes, all of its cookies are deleted. The end result is that I have something that works decently, while preserving history and passwords.
Pretty sure it requires deleting comments if requested, this at least how my employer treats GDPr.

My first thought on this is that the people who download books from these sites were never going to buy them in the first place. This is particularly true if they engaged in downloading dozens or hundreds of books. In other words, not sure just how much money anyone lost because of the existence of these sites.

If someone is never going to buy what you sell (let's say they can't afford it) and they are able to get it for free in digital form, you did not incur any expenses and you did not lose any money.

I am not trying to justify IP theft, just trying to understand the financial reality of the matter.

At the extreme is the case of an author who produces a great book after over a year of hard work only to see 100% of the books stolen in digital form. The author has a household to support and goes without income.
> Ah yes, the Tragedy of the Commons couldn't have existed because people were too materially poor to damage anything.

This isn't the main thrust of the article.

> But I'm going to go ahead and assume that the fact that farmers commonly established their own informal governance rules over common areas does kind of imply that there were overgrazing problems.

The article argues that there was the potential for overgrazing problems, but that the informal governance effectively dealt with them.

Who decides what's a true democracy?

Athens didn't have universal suffrage, and they invented democracy (and were in many ways far more democratic than anything we have today). They had some pretty radical measures for mixing up who actually got to hold office, such as sortition, and misbehaving officials risked ostracicsm by public vote.

I think this is something that is severely overlooked in contemporary democracy. It's a very small clique indeed that stands any realistic chance of holding office in most western democracies. Ultimately doesn't really matter who gets to vote if the candidates are all the same.
Interesting

I don’t see a real issue with the article, but it is worth pointing out the article completely ignores the many victims of SBF. If I were a victim of SBF, the article would be a bit insulting.
Here's the audit: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1628720#c14

The requirements they are supposed to check against: https://cabforum.org/wp-content/uploads/CA-Browser-Forum-BR-... - section 5 addresses security, referencing "The CA/Browser Forum’s Network and Certificate System Security Requirements" - https://cabforum.org/network-security-requirements/, which at least in the version 1.3 that I saw required pentests and security scans.
if you cant, then why should I?
> If everyone would stop mining gold today, gold would retain value (or perhaps even go up in value). On the flipside, if we turned off all bitcoin miners today, bitcoin would go to zero instantly (as its worthless without continuous resources being pumped into it).

"Mining" in bitcoin means two different things, creating new coins AND adding transactions to the ledger. If mining reward went to 0 (which will actually happen someday), and new coins stopped being created, miners would still be able get a profit from transaction fees, although it wouldn't be "mining" in the same sense as gold.
Seems like a risky gambit; AFAIK YC owns HN and would have a hard time arguing that that they're a small business incapable of following GDPR regs.

If you are treating URLs as references to resources, you want the ability to CRUD those resources.

PUT and DELETE correspond with U and D, so they make sense to include. PATCH is a little less obviously useful (partial update vs. a full update w/ a PUT.)

Regardless of our feelings about them, they are there in HTTP, the HyperText Transfer Protocol. So maybe we should make them accessible through the HyperText we are transferring.

No, banner isn't mandatory. Information is mandatory. I don't remember exact page now but it was some govt page here in Poland that had info about cookies in page footer, and it was also ok
My experience leads me to the exact opposite conclusions. For example, your code cache is either big enough or it's not. It's a pretty binary situation and a simple checkbox to ensure your app didn't run out of space. To quote from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7513185/what-are-reserve...:

"Normally you'd not change this value. I think the default values are quite good balanced because this problems occur on very rare occasions only (in my experince)."

Similarly, your organization tends to run the version of Java that the whole company supports. I have never worked anywhere where someone was allowed to use a different version than the rest of the company for performance reasons.

In contrast, the advice to write low-level code for predictable, high performance has been virtually timeless and generally applicable across languages.
Hmm, I guess it's just that establishing China as a memetic threat is an admission that the marketplace of ideas was itself an illusion crafted to appease, contain, and diffuse critique and wouldn't that be a kicking out a sort of load-bearing idea for a lot of people?

I suppose I'm having a hard time grasping at how letting the cat out of the bag could be contained to just China, but maybe I'm missing something. It feels like it's a perfectly logical conclusion to say, "The ability to control the narrative ideas stops at existential threats to the US government and it's economic hegemony." Doesn't that sort of seem like a totalitarian stance? Maybe that's more acceptable to people than I thought?

> Because, as has been pointed out ad nauseam THEY HAVE NO JURISDICTION to tell US companies what to do.

Actually in practice many important US companies do have market activity or assets in the EU, arguably including Y Combinator. Also, the EU (or its governments) wouldn't bother a random plumber in Iowa or honestly even in Prague (unless in the latter case someone have bothered to complain).
US companies that act internationally are not immune from the laws of the states they act within.
The price of oil futures went negative. The spot price of oil has never and will never hit zero or negative.

You can't use your regular intuition about commodity prices when talking about futures contracts. The negative price was a one-day event, and all it really represents is a higher-than-normal premium on the calendar spread.

When I think of my E-Bike battery of ~400Wh that can keep going for ~100km (admittedly, with some assistance), I'm surprised this laptop can only go for 16h on that.

We've finished our traveling, for a while at least. There are chances of working remotely for a week or 2 in the future. In our longer travels I was using a large 2nd monitor but I have since gotten used to just my laptop screen.

2 small things about your raised desk that might make me hesitate to purchase it.

1. I am tall so height of the screen is important. The top of the card tables we traveled with are 29" off the floor so 25" on top of that is not tall enough for me. I think I'd need something with a 30" height to feel comfortable. If there was a countertop available to work on then the 25" might be ok.

2. It would be great if the part that holds the monitor could slope down a bit. I currently have my laptop on this stand¹ and I like how I can change the angle of it. I don't like to have the laptop sitting there open at a right angle, that bothers me for some reason. This is not a huge deal, I probably could get used to it being at a right angle.

These are problems specific to me and my needs and I know it can be hard to make something that's the right fit for everyone. You've done a great job already with the different notches so you can change the placement of the keyboard and laptop. I hope you do pick it back up!

Amazon and FB have never been "rest and vest". Honestly google in most teams isn't like that either.
The reason is the same in 2022 as it's always been and will remain - PDF is a lossy conversion - you throw away big piles of structure and metadata, often actual text, code, image resolution. Fidelity often matters a lot to digital packrats.
Good battery, good customizability, but I'm wondering:

- Who is actually producing these? Are they resellers? For whom?

- They mention TuxedoOS. Why? Can you have the same experience with a vanilla Debian or Arch?

- Customs costs. They may inflate the price quite a lot depending on where you are

A PDF doesn’t represent a responsive/resizable version of the page so it will look awkward on most screen sizes even if the original would have handled it.

A PDF doesn’t capture scrolling behavior, so a nested scrolling element will lose most of its content, and a page with a chat prompt or cookie notice might have part of its content covered.

A PDF won’t capture even simple interactive elements like image carousels, lightboxes, and collapsible sections, so content may be lost (“oops, I saved it on the second slide of the image carousel, but I really wanted the first one”).

As far as I know, a PDF won’t include embedded audio/video.

Many PDF exporters chunk the document into paper-sized pages (but, to be fair, some don’t).

Not sure if this tool nails all of those cases, but those are reasons why I’ve saved local copies of pages in the past.
There's a derivative there with fashions too. When the gold rush is on people line up to invent a wheel. After a while the Trough of Disillusionment kicks in and you get either late adopters or people who expect hazard pay for continuing to work on things, so at the same time the money is drying up, the money you do have begins to buy less and less, which is a feedback loop.

People are not wanting to roll their own cloud, or index their own logs. They want to chew on other problems.
Indeed. I had to write a graph traversal iterator in Rust and Copilot wrote the entire thing for me. I could have written it myself, it would have looked similar, but it just... did it. It was trivially to test and verify correctness.

That's minutes of work, maybe even 10 minutes, turned into seconds. That is huge.

The risk here is extremely low. Who is going to sue consumers of Copilot? It makes no sense. They'll sue Microsoft and, in a decade, we'll see if the win or lose (IMO Microsoft will win, but it's not important).
