I don't see why it can't be as easy as Multiplayer -> Host -> Select World. The average player shouldn't need to download a server jar, accept a eula, edit the config, run the jar with command line arguments for ram allocation, and set up port forwarding just to play block game with their friends.

When I saw your top-level comment, I must have mixed up your name with a different Gavin [1] until a quick Google search fixed the mix up :)

Yeah I need to stop. The more I brood over what I just read the more unbearably frustrated it makes me. I want my time back. I am sorry if I'm being overly harsh. This one really hit a nerve.
Len Deighton and John LeCarre are not obscure at all unless you're American perhaps and you don't want to read about non-Americans.

Also your attitude to Bond is the reason why they went wrong after Broccoli - you don't understand the romance of them - the action and gadgets are side issues - trimmings but not the meat.
How does conscription fit into that picture?
The US has interest bearing money and housing speculation. Those things make life expensive and they are staples of capitalism.
It wasnt just a lot. Thats basically all it was. IP carveouts for bigcorps and special, secretive courts that they could use to sue national governments for lost profits.
The public domain has no culture. It's everyone in the planet. The planet has no specific culture.
> it seems reasonable to consider the possibility that we may still be in a position of non-omniscience.

Not even reasonable, in fact, this is one of the premises of my statement.

If we knew for sure how many intelligent species have spread intergalactically, we would not need to be making estimates.

For the clarification of doubt, where I say 'no evidence', I am referring purely to the absence of evidence, not evidence of absence.

I am not sure about representing it formally mathematically, and I am certain that it is not the only probabilistic calculation possible, there may well be better models, but consider the following:

I reach into a bag, and I pull out a die. The die has a one on it.

We have the following assumptions:

- The bag contains at least 1 die
- Dice can have 1 or more sides (let's call them 4D dice)
- All dice have at least one face with a 1 on it

Here, the faces represent the number of intelligent species spreading intergalactically.

The specific number drawn represents humanity's place in the sequence.

Let's initially start with 1, single sided die.

- What is my probability of drawing a 1 sided die? 1 out of 1.
- What is my probability of being position number 1 on the die? 1 out of 1.

So, if there is only 1 die with only 1 face in the bag, we know for certain we must draw a 1.

Now let's imagine adding dice. We add one more.

- What is my probability of drawing a 1 sided die? 1/2
- What is my overall probability of drawing a 1? There are two 'ones' and one 'two', so 2/3

Let's add another.

- What is my probability of drawing a 1 sided die? 1/3
- What is my overall probability of drawing a 1? There are three 'ones', two twos, and one three, so 3/6

This is enough to start to see the pattern, we can see that regardless of the number of dice we add, there will always be more 1s than any other number.

We can throw 10 000 dice into the bag. There will be 10 000 opportunities to be 'first', 9 999 opportunities to be 'second' and so on.

Because we don't know how many dice are in the bag, 'one' is a better guess than 'ten thousand'.

[0]: It's worth noting we're not travelling intergalactically (or even interstellarly) just yet.
This needs another side of the story.
I went through the Rocks Cluster cycles in 3, 4, and 5 with SLC and Scientific until those fell by the wayside.

Rocky is the underdog you want to win.

Alma is the leader except in terms of security update latency.

The problem is that Cent 8/9 Stream has quicker critical CVE patches because it's essentially the source and is closer to mirroring RHEL.

It's hard to convince corporate folks to use Alma when Cent is still the "safer" choice technologically and provides continuity even if its governance and lifecycle maybe worse.
>Apple is pretty good at fighting the US government

To me, thinking that any US based entity can fight the US government, seems a bit absurd.

They can regulate and inspect it into oblivion.
Fuck those chat bubbles that automatically open when I visit websites.
"Hi, Thank you for visiting. Please look around and let us know if you have any questions"

I'm gonna really reach out to you if I run into questions but don't automatically expand the chatbox and ruin my experience here. I vividly remember car dealership websites being the worst of them all. They all use the same software more or less and it is just designed to generate leads through coercing visitors and customers.
For usage rights, probably so. But a transfer has stricter requirements in most countries, and it doesn't mean he agreed to all the other clauses in the contract that he hadn't even seen at the time.
Most SV companies, even the big ones (Google, FB, etc) lease most of their offices, if not all.
Super great, lovely idea!

Only comment is that you've got discrete notes in there by the sound of it? Could you make it entirely analogue per a real trombone? Sounds a bit jarring jumping from note to note...

But. Great.
so how are we going to make and sell ARM cpus for under $10 retail a piece at a few K qty? digikey, mouser, arrow will still want ridiculous markups and there is a cartel that controls pricing. cost of labour is much higher in the US than asia and the skilled labour is missing. how is all this going to work? by 2024, we will be paying 4K for a TV and 20K for a laptop.
Why wouldn't a free market collude and monopolize to maximize profit? Idealized free markets require perfect information. Most consumers of healthcare are woefully ill informed on healthcare matters. The problem with free markets is summed up with phrases like: "caveat emptor", "a fool & his money are easily parted", "there's a sucker born every minute", "penny wise, pound foolish".

Discount laser eye surgery has its own issues with deceptive advertising, misleading pricing, patients being rushed & not fully informed of potential side effects or receiving poor post-op care. People really need to research thoroughly before using a coupon for their laser eye surgery. No one should expect the market to just provide a quality product. That's foolish thinking.
Apple’s severs are the snitches and they can only snitch if you upload five matching fingerprints.

Fine to think that scanning for csam is wrong, but the fact that it’s based on fingerprints sent to the cloud doesn’t make their scheme worse than Google who has access to unencrypted photo data to do whatever they want with (as argued by many in this thread).
Whenever it nags, I click on it and ask how to remove the chat.

Then I say it doesn’t work, because, clearly it doesn’t. At one point they give me a real person to talk to.

That’s what in-product char is for, right, resolving UX issues?

I’ve been looking for months for a time-tracking tool on MacOS and I never subscribe to any because I throw the ball when opening the pricing page and the chat opens. I’m so annoyed I insult them, I really need a time tracking tool for my team.
> 1) how they just trusted him to show up after lunch that first day.

It is nice that they trusted him, but they're not exactly out of pocket if he breaks their trust. It's cost them 1 morning of having a teenager watching them work. Which costs nothing.
Anyone good at sleuthing and not behind restrictive proxies?

The author here mentions that all her sources are online and links to one of them (which is alas a blog post with minimal references)

Would be amazing to confirm whether this source is legitimate, I feel like anything online with hand-wavy citations can just start getting treated as real so long as it's at least 10 years old
They had a long conversation over email and an exchange of payment for the right to at least use the poem. Whether you like it or not, that can count as a contract. It might be different in different jurisdictions but here's the US definition of a contract (https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/contract):

> The basic elements required for the agreement to be a legally enforceable contract are: mutual assent, expressed by a valid offer and acceptance; adequate consideration; capacity; and legality.
I just used it like 10 minutes ago! Awesome piece of tech.
You forgot to add some messages added by bots and the chatbox itself with links to FAQs and crap. It's not so straightforward to get to humans these days
Correct. Although I don't think Rocky has nearly as much money, staff, or industry support as Alma does.

The other issue is RH gets Cent 8/9 Stream CVE fixes out faster than either Alma or Rocky, at least so far.
"checksums of file and photo data are used to help Apple de-duplicate and optimize your iCloud and device storage"

This is likely describing content-addressable storage. It is the underpinning of many iCloud services that store user files / blobs. It is also a commonly used pattern in backend services generally.

I really enjoy Zoho with a custom domain. Unsure on migration, sorry.
I had a live chat widget on my startup's site for a while. What I found was that maybe 10% more people reached out, but the bigger difference was that about half of the contact that would have come through our email form (and not required an immediate response) was now coming through chat. This meant that we needed to respond immediately, which was a downside.

The most annoying thing though was when people would try to prove that I was actually a chatbot.

Any tips for how to definitively prove you're not a bot (shy of getting on a zoom call, which is what one user suggested!)?
I am still quite upset about this. I was looking to install it for my son to play, nope.

Bastards.
I never said any of these things, I said it is practically impossible to deal with not getting memory when you need it, which you claim but can’t show is easy. And then there’s a whole lot of rambling about operating systems which has nothing to do with it.

If you do one huge allocation and it fails, yes it’s easy to handle that. But programs do tons of small allocations all the time and it’s impossible to handle if that fails. Do you think you can even show that fancy pop-up when you can’t allocate memory?
Not surprising. I remember a friend trained to be an EMT many years ago, and the textbook had a (long) chapter specifically about motorcycle crashes.

Put a bunch of motorcycles in one area (probably an area with roads that aren't designed for that kind of traffic) and you're bound to see more crashes than usual. And because they're motorcycles, expect more of them to be fatalities than you'd expect with cars.

I also expect there's alcohol involved in many of these rallies, regardless of the legality or official policy of the organizers, with a lot of people in no condition to be on their bikes.
There's and ending to Minecraft? There goes my perception (acquired over the years of reading bits and bobs about it) of it being an endless world building game.
Because you said this: “personal devices become the police and snitch you”

Which makes it seem like Apple’s approach is worse than what Google does where they actually do scan through everyone’s full resolution photos on the server doing what they please with the results.

My point in making this distinction is that if a company is going to do server side scanning, apple’s approach is far more privacy preserving than a company like Google’s and that point is being lost.
Thanks for sharing. Being a developer of a lot of libraries, it's easy to spend every day just focused on what's bad right now. Indeed, that's what you do because that's what needs to get fixed! But it's nice to take a step back every once in awhile and see what has been accomplished. I think there's a long ways to go still, but there is a lot of good in there. Thanks for taking the time to highlight it.
I kinda feel like this guy is overstating his contribution to Minecraft. It's nice to have an end screen message, but that isn't what drove the value of the game and could have easily been replaced by something else.

Rule #1 of getting paid for your work is don't do a bunch of work without signing a contract first. Even if you're an artist. I highly doubt he could have released that poem on his own and turned it into millions of dollars or whatever he thinks a "fair" contribution is.

Contributing an asset doesn't give you any entitlement to share in the company. If you want some equity in the company you better ask for it up front, because they probably won't give it to you and would just hire someone else and you can save your hard work. 20k seems fair and helped the author out a lot at the time. Posting a long rant about it probably hurts his future work opportunities.
That looks awesome!

I would also love to see how it compares to other frameworks in more realistic benchmarks involving some i/o (they are missing on TechEmpower at the moment), and not only serving text, but those are great numbers.

Though, I find the name a bit confusing, I expected it to be a package for working with socket.io or maybe websockets, but that’s probably me being exposed to those tools for too long. :)

P.S. Wow, Vibora is still alive and doing some numbers too, I thought it was abounded for years!

Running an exit from your home IP is a very, very bad idea so he most likely has rented a server somewhere and is running the exit node there.
Ask HN: Anyone else suffering from tinnitus?
I had awoken one morning 6 months ago and I noticed a high pitched sound seemingly from my right ear. Over the next few days it increased in intensity. Causing much disruption to my life. The doctors could not fix it. Hearing tests indicated no hearing loss. I recently had a cold where congestion in my right ear exacerbated the tinnitus a week ago just as I was "habituating" (as they say) to it.

I grew up in the generation with iPod's. So I'm wondering if I am now paying for it.

Tinnitus has disrupted my life significantly and impacted my sleep/focus two key things needed to do my job effectively as a a software engineer. I'm now on antidepressants and cannot go to sleep without a noise maker. I'm concerned about the future when/if I loose hearing in old age if I will be able to tolerate it.

Anyone else have this issue? Anyone know of any clinical trials that I could join?
Yes, but the OP asked for an idiot-filter first.

We end up applying multiple filters throughout the process, but try similarly to keep them as simple as possible not to too strongly bias for one thing.
> If it's only for iCloud uploaded data they can simply do the scanning there.

This is what Apple was trying to avoid. Scanning on iCloud also requires that Apple can see your photos.

If the scanning is done on device, Apple could encrypt the photos in the cloud so that they can't decrypt them at all. Neither could the authorities.

> There's no reason to use customer's CPU/battery against them.

The amount of processing ALL phones do for phones is crazy, adding a simple checksum calculation in the workflow does fuck-all to your battery life. Item detection alone is orders of magnitude more CPU/battery heavy.

It scored a 510 on a sample test [ 564.84 is the human average ].
What struck me is it doesn't seem these people really were his friends. He didn't know them before writing the poem, it seems he only communicated with them via email, and then only regarding the poem, and he certainly wasn't friends with them afterwards.

I mean I'm probably missing a lot of details that weren't necessary to the telling of this story, but perhaps the lesson here is don't assume people are your friends when all you have is a brief business relationship.

i am not an apple user (wont be because they cost an arm and a leg in my place so why bother) but i WAS and AM an active opponent and the said "minority".

the problem is not CSAM for finding pedos. This opens doors for, as you said, china because "constitutional guarantees" and other legal stuff only exist on paper when it comes to fighting and oppressing dissenters. Sure there are rules in place but the best thing is that NO one should have this function in the first place. If you open the door a crack,you have to open it full.

i don't even care about "search warrant" because tell me. Do you think in china there is some sanctity in "police search warrant" issued by a judge who will consider the rights of end users with the government breathing down their necks for "results"? they have institutionalized and criminalized dissent, like with India for example and they see dissenters same as pedos, maybe more so this tech should not exist in the first place.

court orders dont mean shit when the entire system is adversarial against you. Now, if there were no means, then nothing will happen but if there was a way, they will use it.

i am a dissenter so i understand how not apple but other manufacturers would be forced to allow this because "well if apple can do it, you can too. if you dont, you wont be given license to sell here" and they might not be as honest about their actions so yeah
That's it, thank you! Really worth a read, both thought-provoking and funny.

> One person I'm thinking of in particular said she didn't believe the water was safe to drink there

I mean, if she meant water from the tap, it's true that it's generally not considered potable. It's clean enough for everything it's needed for, but it's just common sense to people to not drink from it. Expecting to be able to is weird because it's different. Seems kind of exorbitant to have something like potable tap water, like I'd imagine it'd be exorbitant for people that have it to upgrade to distilled tap water. The public tap water supplies being able to maintain water end-to-end pure enough to be perfectly consumable by humans is a bar probably nobody is concerned for them to surpass, because it's not really a problem.

The tap is used for everything you generally use it for elsewhere, including washing fruits, veggies, and rice. There's no problem consuming small quantities (e.g. washing teeth, using a glass that hasn't finished drying, etc.), but nobody drinks or serves a glass of water from the tap. People fill 5-gallon jugs of water at purifiers or exchange them at convenience stores and use that for drinking water and e.g. making soups, boiling/steaming foods, cooking pasta, etc.

> so how could the produce be safe to eat?

Did she mean the water it was grown with? If she did, yeah that's ridiculous. That water has to seep through the earth, so what does it matter? Why need to dump potable water? Also, a whole nation and more are living off that produce.
Good and bad post.

Getting mad at "the corporations" for being dirty middlemen is common, but Ticketmaster hires staffers, organizes purchases, handles refunds alllllllll the way down the line. The infrastructure to do that takes real work by real people who also need to be paid, and yes - there is a structural inequality between the company that does all the organizing and the individual person doing the work. This is both problematic and excellent.

The best part though, really - is that because of the way modern corporations work, anyone can be at the very very top of the corporate structure, above even the CEO. Regular, average humans can be shareholders, the most preferred class of all modern capitalist corporations.

The kind of people it’s intended for, don’t know how to open a chat. Some people are afraid of clicking unknown icons. Some (different) people are afraid of starting a conversation.

Isn't the whole point that the author thinks he deserves more compensation than he got? He's quoting the compensation for various Mojang employees and comparing it to what he got. He seems quite jelaous and/or entitled.

20000€ would in most European countries be a pretty good compensation for about 3 months of work, after taxes. It doesn't seem unreasonable on the face of it.
Spectrum (the ISP) had terrible incompetent bots attempting to pose as humans last time i was forced to deal with them. They were even trained to claim they were human, but couldn't answer questions any person trivially knows the answer to.

Don't know about the Linux distros, but one problem with the FreeBSD versions (pfSense, OPNsense) is the mostly nonexistent WiFi support because there's no driver support for PCIe cards. You end up needing to hook up a COTS Wifi AP, which has all the same problems that a COTS router would've had.

But other than that, yeah I don't see any reason to use a COTS router when I can just make one. My current router is my old desktop PC that became redundant when I built a new one, sitting as a bare motherboard on a test bench to take up very little space, running OPNsense.
