Are reposts ok?

If a story has not had significant attention in the last year or so, a small number of reposts is ok. Otherwise we bury reposts as duplicates.

----

Unfortunately, since there's no penalty for spamming the site with endless repeat posts of articles already submitted countless times before, people continue to do it. Contrast that with the comments section, where there are penalties for abusive behaviour and people generally tend to behave in a more respectful way to other HN-ers.

I wonder; if the system really did check for duplication [I can't believe it does, given the number of repeat posts I see] and if people lost a karma point* for submitting an article that had already been submitted X times within the last X hours or days, would we see a lot less 'submission spamming'?

*Assuming that the people posting what are obviously repeat submission are doing so for the 'internet points' rather than from any genuine belief that they're sharing something new with us, that might actually be a deterrent.
Honestly I have no idea! I did listen to a podcast about LIBOR and the various criminal convictions around it sometime earlier this year, and I swear I understood it for a few minutes… but it’s gone now!
When you pay off your mortgage with L2 chips, your bank settles in lower layer with other banks, so they do actually get L1 chips. Not actually with "cash" but with chips tracked by Fed account for banks. (It's really chips all the way down).

Similarly when you are sending your L2 chips thank bank created for when they granted you your morgage - from your bank to other places, they will want to settle L1 chips as well. The bank will use the value of of your debt to settle it (either sell the loan to someone, including FED or use as a collateral or whatever).

Highly unlikely based on how Huawei phones work, some random twitter threat should clarify where were these videos excactly stores, what app is supposedly deleting them.

Yes, Huawei can under their ToS delete various stuff from your (Huawei) cloud, if it contains sensitive content, but deleting from device, unlikely. Maybe don't upload sensitive videos to cloud next time?

> While fish, reptiles and even some birds can regenerate damaged brain, eye and spinal cord cells, mammals cannot. For the first time, non-neuronal cells have been induced to mimic specific ganglion cells in the eyes of mice

> [Researchers] had previously shown that neurons could be coaxed from glial cells in the retinal tissue of mice. Now they've refined the process to produce specific cells[, attempting to produce those types affected by neurodegenerative diseases]

> [Having] studied... transcription factors [- proteins that bind to DNA and regulate the activity of genes to control the production of proteins that determine a cell's structure and function -] in vertebrates... that have regenerative abilities[, they] learned how to use the transcription factors to return the glia to a more primitive state known as a progenitor cell [which can be then pushed in other directions - e.g. the retinal ganglion cells lost to glaucoma, or the dopamine neurons which die under Parkinson's]

Original research article: Levi Todd et al, Reprogramming Müller glia to regenerate ganglion-like cells in adult mouse retina with developmental transcription factors - https://dx.doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.abq7219

> Many neurodegenerative diseases cause degeneration of specific types of neurons. For example, glaucoma leads to death of retinal ganglion cells, leaving other neurons intact. Neurons are not regenerated in the adult mammalian central nervous system. However, in nonmammalian vertebrates, glial cells spontaneously reprogram into neural progenitors and replace neurons after injury. We have recently developed strategies to stimulate regeneration of functional neurons in the adult mouse retina by overexpressing the proneural factor Ascl1 in Müller glia. Here, we test additional transcription factors (TFs) for their ability to direct regeneration to particular types of retinal neurons. We engineered mice to express different combinations of TFs in Müller glia, including Ascl1, Pou4f2, Islet1, and Atoh1. Using immunohistochemistry, single-cell RNA sequencing, single-cell assay for transposase-accessible chromatin sequencing, and electrophysiology, we find that retinal ganglion–like cells can be regenerated in the damaged adult mouse retina in vivo with targeted overexpression of developmental retinal ganglion cell TFs

We should drop this "healthy competition" myth.

Some of this software has been around as long as I've been alive.

I love Open Source but we should just accept that some of it will always be mediocre at best. And as the other commenter mentioned, there are also negative consequences to something being around (mind share, presence in distributions and online docs, etc).

Nobody has time to wait 4 decades for software to be good.

This makes successful Open Source software like Blender or Firefox or Linux all the more impressive.

Did you totally miss the Trump election? "Build the wall!"? The American voters (well, almost half of them) spoke loud and clear about their sentiments on immigration.

If tech companies were in charge, the borders would be mostly open, especially (or perhaps only) for skilled professionals. Obviously, this isn't the case, so the corporate lobbyists are not the ones responsible for America's anti-skilled-immigrant policy, the American voters are. It doesn't get "fixed" because it's politically unpopular to do so.

The opinions scale.

My last gig had an MSSQL database component that pushed $700,000 a year.

It wasn't _that_ big but it was pushing the upper published limits of what you could do with an MSSQL RDS. One day replication stopped working, and amazon business support of whatever couldn't resolve it.

>Ukraine’s arsenal was formidable. It started the war with over 1,000 barrel artillery systems (those with long tubes) and 1,680 multiple-rocket launchers—more than Britain, France, Italy, Spain and Poland put together

This is a very important point. We love making fun of the Russian army, but I doubt that any of the Western countries (other than the US) would've survived the invasion if they swapped places with Ukraine. European land forces are small and severely underequipped.

The good news is that the war prompted the European governments to increase their military spending. The most notable example of that is Poland with their unprecedented shopping spree (among other things, over 1000 tanks, 48 fighter aircrafts, 600 howitzers and 500 MLRS). Of course, it will take years until those investments result in a meaningful increase in military capabilities.

Maybe there is a vector animation tool that is as easy to use as Flash was, but that fact that we rarely see vector animations like we did back in the day makes me think not.

I used to work with a group that created training materials using Flash. We had a bunch of animators that knew nothing about coding, but they could produce all of these amazing animated videos using Flash.

They could also produce interactive animations. One job we did was creating 3d renderings of printers. The printers could be torn down in the flash app to the smallest screw. A technician could choose what they wanted to do to the printer, and the flash movie would show them step by step in full animation what to do. At any time they could rotate the printer in all an axes to view different angles. It was amazing. And it was animators who knew nothing about code that built it all. The things they could do you just don’t see anymore.

I remember another project we worked on that had these mini games you could play in place of being multiple choice quizzes.

All of that is just gone. There was so much animation and interaction and fun that has been replaced with boring, text, images, and videos.

The best part was, it was all vectors, so the file sizes for even long animated movies was incredibly small. Back in those days we had very low bandwidth, but flash worked great. We had retailers in Asia that consumed our content no problem. Now our content is mostly text, images and videos. Those same retailers have higher bandwidth, but really struggle because the files sizes are enormous compared to flash.
That's a lot of stereotyping. Has it occurred to you that not every Android user wastes time to "tinker" with their phone and they're just normal people who use it like you do your iPhone?

Android is not like Linux were it's exclusive to developers, geeks and tinkerers. The market share also exemplifies that it's just as much for average joes as iOS.
PGP's ceremony is no solution for anything. A Signal-like experience (TOFU, key verification if you wish, alerts when keys change) would be superior, if people were trained more (and recall how hard is was to tell people to look for the green padlock). Autocrypt is an attempt (with little uptake).

Certificates not only about encryption, but also about authority: am I really connected to my bank? PGP only solves that if I already have verified keys, which is the hardest part left unsolved.

Unfortunately, proprietary two factor apps seems to be the way this is increasingly solved. Even further removed from a superior system (but, apparently, practical).
Do they? Ubuntu, Mint are both European are using Gnome or at least GTK.

Red Hat/Fedora uses Gnome because Gnome is basically a Red Hat product. This has nothing to do with the geography of the distro.

Unfortunately, a lot more people use Gnome. Which is a shame in my opinion. But it is the way it is.

> Would giving people the ability to opt out of Apple's ultra-managed experience and take more control over their device harm your ability to continue to enjoy those benefits?

Not OP but yeah, I think it would. Im currently an android user because I thought it wouldn't, but in practice it does.

The most explicit example is that despite owning a flagship phone from a flagship manufacturer, the Google suite of apps don't integrate properly with the hardware. I have a Z flip 3, and I need to use Samsung Pay (over google wallet) with the phone to use it while folded. Because Samsung Pay doesn't integrate with my Google account, I'm forced to use both services in praxtice.

These sorts of niggley incompatibilities are _everywhere_ on android.

The other point is what epic has done is going to spread (side note: I used to work for Epic, this is my take on their move, not speaking on their behalf). If I want to play the Fortnite right now, I am forced to download an extra launcher on my device that interacts differently to the play store and Samsung store, doesn't support the integrations with the rest of my apps. I can only guarantee that as other apps grow we'll end up with storefronts for X, Y and Z (see uplay, battle.net, origin, epic launcher, ms store) so that those apps can either take a bigger cut or skirt around the requirements the platform holder has - on iOS it will make it so that sign in with apple isn't a requirement on third party stores.

The fact is that people who do want to sideload have the option to right now - use android. The people who want to live in a walled garden also have an option. By forcing apple to be more open you remove that option from the people who want it.

As with it OP, I'm not saying everyone should feel this way.

We don't do production builds on laptops.

But it's important that all builds are 100% reproducible on all build targets and that includes non docker ones. That is much more difficult if you have to cross compile stuff. We can barely manage one architecture.
> The reason for the resistance to statehood for Puerto Rico and D.C. is because they both lean heavily Democratic, and the prospect of 2 or 4 more Democratic Senators is unacceptable to the Republicans.

That's undoubtedly part of it, but I also get the impression that Puerto Rico itself isn't that eager to become a state. DC probably is and really does deserve better representation, but there are historical reasons for why it was made explicitly not a state. I think those reasons need to be revisited to see if they're actually still true (if they ever were).
I have one! That’s the plan currently. But you can’t avoid it entirely, it’s why TVs are so slow to turn on, they still try to collect data and so on.
Notice that I said "ultra-religious conservatives" and not "ultra-religious people". It's both a religious term and a political term. It describes people who bring their religion in an overt way into a certain brand of politics.

There are a lot of religious people who mainly keep religion and politics separate. And there are a lot of religious people — especially outside the United States — whose religion inspires them into more left-wing politics.

In any case, I said nothing about "nice people" and "non-nice people". But that's always a spectrum anyway. People are complex. They can be super nice to some groups of people and super mean to other groups of people.

Sounds good:

"More than 600 pages of records previously released by UC Davis showed monkeys suffering from chronic infections, seizures, paralysis, and painful side effects following experiments by Neuralink. In two separate incidents, experimenters used an unapproved adhesive called BioGlue to fill holes in the animals’ skulls, which seeped through to the monkeys’ brains. In one monkey, the use of BioGlue caused bleeding in her brain, and she vomited so much from the resulting side effects that she developed open sores in her esophagus."

There are many ways for a company to compensate people, other than hiring them as an employee (consulting fees, board seat, stock, etc.) I sincerely doubt Ms. Vance is doing this for free.

I cannot reply to the below reply to this post from Mr. Vance, so I've edited my comment here to conceded the point I made in my last paragraph. It seems that Ms. Vance is not being compensated by Neuralink for these statements. Why anyone would give their precious time away to a billionaire is beyond me, but to each their own I guess.

Exactly. It's also just like how "people don't want to wear 3D glasses in a theater". That was wrong too: every single movie today is in 3D.

Oh wait... No movies are in 3D now. They tried (for a 2nd time) and failed and gave up.

Personally i just think it's not a good way to assess. Such challenges are mostly about coming up with "creative" solutions. I think that pressure can be good for creativity but it can also be it's death.
However, motivation is important for creativity. Competing online with other like minded people is a good motivation whereas a job is something you need literally in order to survive. It's not really comparable imo.

Gut feeling is that the cellphone was already far more mainstream in the year 2000 than VR is in 2022. I had one (Nokia 5110?) as a teenager (admittedly I was in the minority), but I remember they were extremely common amongst professionals. Perhaps the iPhone turned cellphones from "one per family" to "one per person" but VR is still nowhere close to the former.
