For drone pilots, it's rumored they actually have a lot of PTSD. You may be looking at a screen and ignore the situation now, but for healthy humans, killing someone will ALWAYS come back to haunt you, even if it's entirely justified like in self defense.
I think it's cool to be so rich and big and powerful you can let this sort of thing happen and not even worry about it. Didn't even make the news (first I'm hearing of it).

It is an interesting situation where capitalism makes certain operations against it really, really cheap for an adversary. Can markets price in this sort of thing? Is there some sort of "tag" a company can/should get to make it vastly more expensive to an adversary nation to acquire? Kind of like a reverse carbon credit.

Regarding the private IP holder who sold. It was certainly in the financial interest of the IP holder to do the deal! But are we not allowed to criticize the sellers of these companies, who sold to China of their own free will, with some knowledge, presumably, of what would happen? But it was a good exit! Most people aren't so lucky. Is that the correct way to look at it? Do individuals who engage in deals like this deserve criticism for an ethical breach, if not a legal one?
Is the UK bound by the CJEU anymore?
You have NO idea what it is like in these hospitals. NO IDEA. It is safer and healthier to live on the street.

The solution is easy bu they truth is no one cares. No one cares about the mentally ill homeless. No one. I know this because I ma mentally ill and homeless now for four years. People would rather make bank off an AirBnB than rent it to me for half the price and still make it so I am paying of f half their mortgage. It is just greed, simple greed, with everyone.

I am not even asking for much, a simple studio, but no one cares, so I get worse and worse and then you will all pay SO MUCH MORE when I am in the hospital and medicare has to pay for my $10,000 a week hospitalization.

It is all so idiotic.
We'll have to disagree.
Hosting sensitive stuff in the cloud is absolutely centralising it and giving access to anyone that can issue a national security letter or join Google in particular roles, or just hacks it because someone left the keys in a git repository.
Ask HN: What Happened to Hacker News RSS
I'm subscribed to HN hnrss.org/newest?points=100 via The Old Reader[1] but today I stopped receiving the newest articles. I tried to manually refresh the feed via the refresh button but again no new articles. I tried to subscribe via Feedly[2] to rule out a problem with The Old Reader but there also the latest articles are a day old. I tried without points constraint with the hnrss.org/newest URL in both readers and the result was the same. All day-old articles but without new ones.

Possibly, but the same argument can be made for GDPR, and it works pretty well there. In the end, the Chinese will either want to monetize it, at which point they need a presence in the UK, or they're monetizing via psy-ops paid for by the CCP and they will be considered a security issue by the UK and probably shut down (at least for access from the UK).

Sure, that might lead to teenagers using VPNs to access it, but I wouldn't count on that. Most of them aren't even using adblockers.
I develop with Python, Java and Javascript on Windows and deploy to Linux. I use mostly Jetbrains tools but I don't use WSL.

My experience with "web IDEs" are fairly limited things like the interface at HackerRank or the web interface for writing Amazon Lambda functions. I think they are a lot of fun but I haven't seen one that is a full-fledged replacement for a real IDE.

This reminded me that I need to record a few sounds from my '90s car while I still have it: the clunk of the manual locks, the ka-chunk of the tape deck, and the whirr of the automatic seat belts.
> Hopefully Twitter’s collapse will lead to a more expansive conversation about the relationships between capitalist imperatives and the communication [and] information needs of democratic societies.

Key word being "hopefully". People either don't understand or care about the power differentials that these mega corps perpetuate and how it affects us, especially long term. People dislike Musk as a person, they'll be happier than ever jumping in bed with any other megalomaniac billionaire as long as they have the self-restraint to hide their cynical worldview.

This doesn't mean that federation, decentralization and privacy is dead in the water, but it does mean that the stakes are high, and you need to offer a better product than what ad-tech bloat gives you today, so it's certainly not impossible. You need critical mass, ease of use, technical simplicity and resilience against abuse, and then strike at a good opportunity for mass migration.

I don't think Mastodon today fulfills any of the criteria, let alone the core privacy features that are difficult to retrofit. I also don't think it ever will, because the OSS style governance model always leads to hard-to-use products and fractured communities whenever large and difficult decisions need to be made. (That doesn't mean that the fediverse can't be an excellent refuge for geeks and certain niches, which is great both for them and an incredibly useful lesson for future projects!)

Realistically, I think the Signal model is our best bet, given the world today. An ideologically convinced medium sized business/foundation built on OSS tech, with decently aligned incentives, but that respects UX enough to build a product that everyone can use.
If the Qatari construction workers had been unionized, the World Cup stadiums would have been even more expensive to build.

But 6000+ of them would still be alive.

The tradeoff you're condemning is literally people's lives for a few dollars of savings.

Show HN: Write bots for a 2D game in the browser
This is a small project where users can write scripts in the browser to control a team of space drones competing for resources. The objective of the game is to destroy the enemy base, while keeping yours alive.

I started this project to learn javascript and HTML from scratch, since I had only ever had exposure to framework-based web dev. The user code is sandboxed, sanitized, and evaluated in real-time. Please let me know if you have any tricks for breaking out of the sandbox and hacking the game or modifying the DOM, doing AJAX requests etc.

This is all done with vanilla js + a small stateless component library for the inspector panels. I had a lot of fun with it. I am working on multiplayer tournament servers with ELO ranking, but I don't have the time to finish a full website with login and security etc.

Thank you, that is now going round in my head on a continuous loop!

I pretty much completely agree with the content of what you said as well.
> However how is "Asahi Lina" and an animated cartoon avatar creepier than psychphysic and a random picture or manga snip on a forum 15 or 20 years ago?

That's a really good question and I only have a cop-out answer.

I'm not the type to get the creeps.

But the immediate thought I had and commented else where was of Pennywise.

Which is really quite alarming!

I think the core was that Asahi in my mind is quite infantilised and the realisation that the person behind the persona is quite likely to be adult man.

Nothing particularly predatory here, but there is still a feeling of a false sense of security.
I think it's because Mastadon and ActivityPub, are far simpler. Diaspora was just over-engineered.
At least the gimmick works both ways. (Try searching for “vi”.)

Dude, you're on Hacker News and you're asking why HTTPS? Are you trolling?
What law of the land says "Airdrop is not allowed for more than 10 minutes"?
The problem with Epic is that they seem to refuse to deal with their technical debt. As far as I know, it's still some janky visualbasic UI with a M/UMPS backend (well w/ a modernization wrapper). And why change because hospital CIOs are willing to approve contracts worth hundreds of millions (and their competitors are even worse)

Maybe it all works...however slowly... but pulling data out of what is effectively a bunch of antiquated and super siloed-bins seems overly labor intensive and cost ineffective.

The other announcement was that they were doing to do a partnership with Apple, but sounded like the task of actually making a modern native client on MacOS was beyond their technical skill...(their iOS app efforts are...not pretty...)
Google is not magically unbound by HIPAA so Google can't actually do much of anything with the data outside of host it. They could do some machine learning but you can't mix data so it would have to be client specific which I see no issue with.
Having my pay delayed would cause me problems precisely because I budget well. On payday I have 20+ automatic transfers into various accounts (utilities, car, mortgage, etc) leaving my chequing account with only enough to service my automatic for the month. If my pay is late my transfers will fail and automatic payments will either leave me in overdraft or will fail (I'm not sure which, because it has never happened).
By that logic, the First Amendment only seems to protect pornographers and racists.
So you'll need to set up a VPN service on your Pi, then set up iptables for allowing traffic to flow through the Pi, and use DHCP to set the Pi as your gateway. You'll also need to point the Pi to your home router as a gateway. Note that your overall throughput will be limited to the NIC on your Pi. The specifics here depend on your VPN vendor.
Personally I don't see the reason why they even stuck with old design. Surely it isn't optimal for flash, and it isn't backward-compatible either.
That is a great example of how all technological developments have an equal and opposite negative side.
Hmm. something wierd going on. Both of us don't seem to have a previous comment. Perhaps it got deleted or my memory is going poor. Anyway, my earlier point was that US dollars have an intrinsic value in that they keep you in good standing with the US federal and local Govs. You can pay your taxes in US dollars and nothing else. If someone had all the US dollars in the world, then everyone else would need to trade very value things to that person to get those dollars. The value of those dollars would go up a lot in terms of a basket of tradeable assets
Bitcoin is the opposite I think. If someone had all of the bitcoins, then I would expect bitcoin to be worth nothing.
Not necessarily - PTSD is an issue among drone pilots.

Elon Musk’s Job Cuts Decimated Twitter Team Tackling Child Sexual Abuse
I did not realize that Tailwind had spacing utilities. I know CSS and I've just been doing stuff like gap-3 for flexbox'd containers etc... It never even occurred to me to not do that, because like the article says, I know CSS.

Also, I really don't think tailwind is a replacement for regular CSS. I've found more success mixing them. "Promoting" a series of 10 utility classes to a semantic class name when needed.
If you're happy with lsp-mode, there's not much reason to switch. The main thing about eglot is that it's less-intrusive. It doesn't make any UI changes (unlike lsp-ui), and doesn't even install a keymap by default. But it hooks into Emacs' existing facilities (like xref and completion-at-point) and lets them use an lsp-powered backend. There are functions for things that don't already have an equivalent (like refactorings or code actions), but they're not bound.
Suburbia and HOAs are at least somewhat coercive because they're tied to very expensive assets, and there's also an implication that you belong to essentially one of them.

There's no reason for that in the decentralized space. As a side effect of my oft-repeated belief on HN that I'm not convinced that a centralized single massive community of everyone is even really possible, expressed well prior to Elon buying Twitter, I have no presence on any of the major social media sites. I have many communities. HN is merely one of them. Each of them has a different social contract. Many of them are mutually contradictory in that either the implicit social mores or explicit social rules would exclude each other if taken in their totality... this is less impressive or weird than it sounds, the moreso as you take more and more restrictive views of what constitutes a "match".

This is, in my opinion, normal. It reflects the reality I live in. What is mandatory and verboten at the grocery store, the strip joint, your kid's school concert, a college classroom, etc. all differ intrinsically, and there's no getting around that. The attempt to jam the entire Internet into one walled garden was always doomed to failure, by its very nature. I think that while there are always technical pulls to centralization, and marketing/capitalistic pulls to centralization, in the end, the social pressures that make it impossible to control everyone in one space will always win out. I expect we're in a multi-decade decentralization here... not necessarily to the extreme that everyone runs their own instance, sure. But the idea that we can all agree on a very small set of social websites, and we will all agree that Silicon Valley Liberalism is the One True Social Contract is an absurd illusion brought on by too much VC money, just one more victim of the end of 0% interest rates.

So as the Twitter culture shock spreads out, I would say, the next culture shock thing to break is the idea that you have "one" social media presence or that such a thing is necessarily possible. Prepare for the Internet to spin out and once again match the reality of the real world, with different spaces for different purposes. You may not be able to have "one" identity any more than you can live in one social space in the real world. Indeed, the entire idea is kind of silly in the end.
Non-plug in hybrids are becoming the norm, almost everyone is going to at least a 48v mild hybrid, which is a 10-15% improvement over a normal ICE. Something like a Prius, Insight or Ioniq get 50+mpg combined. If everybody switched from godawful crossovers to hybrid econoboxes (comparable utility and price), we'd see a 30% reduction in gas usage.
"Hospitals often cite a shortage of psychiatric beds as the reason for discharging patients, but the mayor said that the city would make sure there were enough beds for people who are removed. He noted that Gov. Kathy Hochul had agreed to add 50 new psychiatric beds. “We are going to find a bed for everyone,” Mr. Adams said."

Huh? I would have expected you would need at least thousands of new psychiatric beds to meet the need in a city as large as New York City.
Shame that "dynamic types" is often conflated with just non-static.

My favorite "dynamic" type that is stupid useful has to be numbers in Common Lisp. (I think most all lisps, actually?) Having it widen to be as big of a number as you need it to be, while you are using it, is stupid useful.

I don't think this makes a lot of sense. Cheese is cooked, fermented, emulsified, and aged. It has a lower glycemic impact than milk, its primary unprocessed input.
Mostly, I think the "processed" vs. "unprocessed" debate is an appeal to tradition, not science; if it's a kind of processing we were doing 200 years ago, it's OK; otherwise, it's unhealthful.
Dedeuplication is a huge cost at scale.

I just shoot jpeg + raw because my body has dual cards so I'll always have a backup in raw format, if the jpeg card fails. I've found that I'm editing raw so much less because I love the look I'm getting straight out of camera. I shoot a lot of instant film so shooting this way digitally works for my workflow, but I understand why it might be complicated if you like a jpeg but then need to modify a raw to conform to it.

The ML interviews at FAANG are absurdly simple. Design YouTube recommendations for which canned answers are readily available.

A simple stats question. If I double the number of samples, how much will the confidence interval change? Most FAANG ML engineers can't answer this question.
Quite depressing, but well worth the read.

Is this problem getting worse? I know cults are nothing new. Plenty horror stories from the 70s/80s. Perhaps because it's happening right now it seems more prevalent. But it's incredible to me that people with access to information (even phd candidates like Shukree Abdul-Rashed) can fall so far into these cults.

This story in particular is incredible, because when the group shows up in Hawaii, they find yet another likeminded individual willing to accompany them on a (relatively) dangerous trip. While the captain seemed to have slightly more self preservation instincts than the crew, it is amazing he was willing to jeopardize his life for this cause (zigzagging to avoid covid testing, charting courses that would leave them without supplies).
Devil's advocate: If you already don't worry about exposing this info then why not just use Telegram or Signal?

Reminds me of this comment I made the other day [0]:

There are stories of adult children deprogramming their parents / in-laws by blocking these sites via their routers [0], and within a few weeks they're able to see their parents' views and demeanor visibly change for the positive [1].

The post from BestOfRedditorUpdates [1] for example shows the progression, basically the same as the 5 stages of grief, or withdrawal from a drug habit. First they get angry, then they try to find ways around it, then they accept that they can't and start doing something else.

The truth is most people don't really go to these sites out of choice, they do it out of habit. If you can alter the habit, you can stop them from consuming such content. It's no different than stopping any other habit, like (if you're a smoker or alcoholic) not going to places where people smoke for example.

You can also replace the habit with something else; like smokers chewing nicotine gum instead of smoking, or like those trying to lose weight going for a walk instead of sitting at home and cracking open a cold one after a long day of work, this person's aunt replaced it with BTS [2].
