The reason it's named that way is because of Google's trademark on Android. Per Rich Turner @ Microsoft:

"As I mentioned earlier in the thread, it's not about positioning of words, it's about the legalities of trademark usage; we cannot lead a product name with a term trademarked by someone else."

> decided Windows had to come "first"

I heard someone say it here at HN that the reason it's worded this way is to avoid copyright infringement issues if they were to lead the name with someone else's trademark.
Crazy, it's almost as if the same word can have different meanings and connotations depending on context!
I'd say you're probably greatly overestimating how many people torrent or even pirate in general (in the US anyway). I'm well under your age-50 cutoff and I'd probably name you most of the networks (while freely admitting I'm somewhat of an outlier there, and also a previous but really not current user of certain illicit services).

Stuff going to one of the "big" legal streamers like Netflix is a huge deal for it having broader uptake. HBO is about the only big exclusion from that where they're still able to drive media coverage and social media conversation while having stuff locked to themselves (I've seen so much White Lotus stuff out there lately, as an example).
Both systems in the theoretical limits will result in zero choice, as the govt consumes all choice in one and in the other the most efficient player marginalizes out all less efficient players (i.e. Amazon basic products slowly taking over all generic products due to their scale).

Just gotta fingers cross that kings and billionaires keep being low key foolish and somehow destroying their monopolization on power so we don't live in a hell world
Here in Australia the incarceration rate of men vs women is about 12.5 : 1

So I'd guess the answer to your question is something like: for the same reasons that men commit the overwhelming majority of violent crime, which probably has something to do with evolution and testosterone and culture.

tl;dr, but not surprising at all. Forums (including HN) haven't evolved to deal with motivated saboteurs yet. Basically, any content with correct grammar and spelling have already cleared the most useful moderation barrier, which historically kept out the inarticulate lunatics and primitive bots. Probably the only way to deal with this is networks based on invitation (like lobste.rs) and a twitchy ban hammer.
Super cool, I'll have to have closer look sometime. To handle zero, if you have ctz, you can replace the divide with two bitwise shifts. This may sometimes be faster than the divide even if you don't have ctz.

We've had solutions to trust problems for centuries, and they work well.

Central point of failure argument seems moot - there are simple architectures to solve this for databases.
I'm not sure that's entirely true. Scientists have successfully sliced, imaged, and analyzed (i.e. determined the connectome for) the entire brain of very small animal, the common fruit fly, Drosophila. We're still a long way from turning that into a virtual simulation of the creature, but it's a significant step towards it.
Many small cars cannot even reasonably fit the car seats required for infants and toddlers. I have a 4 door Hyundai hatchback and my daughter’s car seat only fits with the driver seat so far up it is unsafe for me or the passenger.

My ford edge on the other hand is much safer and can actually fit the legally required seats for my kids. So I need one. Don’t care what you think.

> I concluded to improve quality of life, no matter how finite, is a better endeavour than to prolong it.

Seems like a false dichotomy.

Aside from life support in one's final days, most practical medical interventions for prolonging life also result in significant improvements in quality of life.

For example, healthy diet and exercise contribute to extended lifespan, but they also improve quality of life significantly during all stages of life.
Not only that, those are (presumably) the hours when traffic is lowest, and the need to get places quickly is lowest.

Hah. Yes. I appreciate people doing all of this because from a preservation standpoint these emulators will likely be maintainable long after working original hardware becomes very rare.
Memory gets moved for a lot of reasons. Any type of FFI usually requires memory copies. For instance, if you pass a C string from Swift to C, the C side needs to copy the memory to use it after the immediate call. Or if C returns a string to Swift, Swift needs to copy the string into its own format.
I think the article made that point to counteract any questions of "who is the source, and how reliable are they on this topic?". Especially because Tim Flannery has already been the target of many "callouts" on Australian media, eg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LzlEkxE-zs
Without knowing what it actually is, the name gives me the assumption that I can start an Android instance through PowerShell, and it can do things in a kinda, but not quite native way
I don't think that's a good comparison. That was 100+ cops standing around while kids were being shot. How often do swat type all out assaults from cops into buildings save people? They are rare. The cops add risk more than they save risk from attackers.

In this case, there is a demonstrated and repeated danger from these swatting attacks. They don't have proper risk management in the police forces of the us, as demonstrated by swatting killing people. The authorities being too slow is not a demonstrated problem, it's the opposite.
That seems excessive. I would consider swatting lesser than attempted voluntary manslaughter which carries a maximum 10 year federal sentence. It’s also typically prosecuted at the state level, which kinda messes things up for the Feds. Reckless endangerment feels more appropriate, perhaps a bit too soft at 2 years maximum, though it is rarely prosecuted at the federal level. So 5 years maximum for the federal conspiracy charges seems basically in-line with any reasonable expectation.
This is an extremely poor example that further illustrates the murderous recklessness of swat teams. The fact that there was a shooter at Uvalde was obvious upon arriving at the scene. Meanwhile, a traditional swat involves a completely innocuous house with no apparent hostiles, because there aren't any hostiles, and yet deaths still occur because of the recklessness of the swat teams. Imagine if you had a school with no shooter and a false report; would the swat teams burst through the windows and start mowing down students at random? Unthinkable, yes?
I think it’s some kind of subculture, not sure whether women ever do it though but I suspect gaming to be somewhat involved, mainly shooting/war games where boys/men are in larger numbers

London was founded as a trade port where, in exchange for military protection and market advantages, you pay tax and more tax and yet another tax -- if I understand it. There are theories of law and commerce that extend from that.
My recommendation:

- (free) set up google sheets (not sure if this is required but that's what I do)

- (free) run an scheduled appscript bound to that sheet with regular intervals

- make it scrape the page (it's just javascript, you can do get requests, etc)

- Have it scrape a webarchive of the page you want to compare (not need to persist state or run a database, etc) and have it check the differences with the current page

- Have it send you an email if there's changes

It's totally free, takes no time to set up, and is relatively effortless. It can even send you alert on failures etc. I do something like this for my reading tracker where I crawl various sites (like amazon, etc) and RSS feeds for new releases of books/series I read and collect them in a dynamic spreadsheet.
>prompted the FBI to issue a public service announcement in late 2020 urging users of smarthome security cameras to use unique passwords

From a tech point of view, first in the medium term I first look forward to the long, long, loooonnnng awaited day when this entire class of attacks finally vanishes along with the madness of shared symmetric authentication in favor of proper public key systems. A solid decade and a half or more after smartcards and browser certs might have made it possible if things had taken a different path, the Passkey/Webauthn/FIDO2 ecosystem finally seems to be hitting the tipping point and accelerating towards critical mass. It shouldn't be necessary for anyone to remember more than one or two decent passwords/PINs, and all the actual unique random key generation should get taken care of automatically and with zero concerns about far side security. All other issues aside, it'll be great when this is just, there, and the entire concept of "default passwords" doesn't exist because to setup an account at all requires initialization with a proper key.

Second though stories like this also to me at least have helped a bit in terms of motivation/justification for taking IOT security seriously and advocating for that to colleagues and family. Like a lot of human<>tech interface stuff sometimes it feels really hard, because the deliverable is mostly "nothing happens". It's hard to prove a negative, and since for now some security efforts require extra money, time, and/or convenience tradeoffs, "is this all really worth it" does come up (and probably always will). And it can also be hard to be sure if what you've done is enough before it gets put to the test. It takes some level of stochastic belief, of "faith" even that yes, security, redundancy, decentralization and backups etc really does matter in the modern world, like it or not.

A certain degree of paranoia isn't unreasonable because a certain percentage of humanity really is out to get us. And the internet means that a tiny percentage can reach out and affect other humans far away.

Regardless of how some might use this tech to prolong life, I'm confident this tech, or "Hibernation" in other literature, is needed if humanity ever hopes for interstellar space travel.

"looked wonky" isn't very scientific though. I've observed that high frame rates are astoundingly different and it's very noticeable, I just think it's quite clearly better once you get over the adjustment.

60fps video is semi common on youtube these days and looks great. Especially for panning shots which look very stuttery on low frame rates.
Your experience matches almost exactly mine. Doubled my TC, moved from startup to big company, although I was in my late twenties. My first month there the team didn't have any work for me to do and when I asked my manager if they had any work for me they told me to "just chill". I stayed for a year and a half and got generally good performance reviews, but it drove me crazy and in the end and I left for a smaller company and less money.
Even better that $20/month on linode is a GCP free tier instance. For this case, I bet it would be free.

That much is obvious. Sadly, what's less obvious to many is that we're in for a major shift, one way or another.
We can do both: hold false reporters accountable while also demanding investigations into police recklessness.
Doubt that would work to keep bots out.

Anyone can invite bots or hook a bot up to their own accounts. Then what?
That won't happen because cops love any excuse they can get to dress up, play with their shiny toys/weapons and crack some skulls while accruing overtime pay. We can't trust them to regulate themselves.

The overhaul we need is community oversight, community decision making and community policing.
A local restaurant had a minestrone soup that had been running for 10-15 years, until the place burned down.

It was ridiculously good. I think the key aspect that made it good was that they served it with every meal so it turned over a lot.
How does the blockchain solve any of these issues in a way that couldn't be done with a database and a third party/escrow as normal?

And it's interesting to note that no-one (as far as I'm aware) is doing this. Blockchains have been around for a decade and escrows are still going strong - I don't see any movement to adopt blockchain for this.

I'm not convinced calculus, geometry and European are "less important". I don't even think you can understand truly understand the tulip bubble without understanding early modern European history (or 08 and the crypto bubble and US history for that matter -- e.g. the birth of the Fed and all that). It's not enough to simply say "don't get caught in a speculative bubble" because 1. it's hard to know when you're in a bubble (housing has utility after all, part of the reason this was so disastrous was because hardly anyone defaulted on a mortgage before) 2. people will get hurt regardless (it's not like only the speculators got hurt in 08) 3. this is sorta just "no shit" advice in general, and yet people still get caught up in speculation. So if you want to convince anyone, you need to be able to formulate arguments on broad history rather than relying on pedagogy to simply convince people not to take some unclear action.

There's probably a lot more to be said about math education in general, but I'll just note that this seems to be a recurring debate in general. Personally, I wished my math education was more rigorous and more abstract. Obviously not everyone uses calculus, but also not everyone takes calculus. I'd also rather a society where a significant portion of students are trained to think of things in terms of rates of change and accumulation of change and apply that to solve physical problems, rather than the society in which even talented students are just trained to add up spare change.
Sounds like Belt.
While the overall point is valid, this isn’t strictly true. A Swift string is frequently backed by a contiguous UTC8 buffer terminated with a \0, so passing to C is just a matter of passing the pointer and requires no copies.

Not really. Yahoo email addresses were hacked and then the associated Ring accounts were compromised and used to livestream swattings. The only thing that might be considered specific to Ring is they they didn't require 2FA until after this happened.
My scenario was triggering a Firebase backup once a day, but being to cheap to upgrade to the paid plan, that does it. (There also isn't an easy way to cap costs with Firebase).
I actual backup is handled by a serverless function (in my case hosted by Vercel).
There are other services that have somewhat generous free tiers, but be aware that those are usually quite restrictive on run time.
For triggering the actual cron job I first tried Github Actions, but found it to be rather unreliable and ultimately settled for qstash by Upstash.

I became committed to running at age 40. I'm 56 now and running is still a large part of my life. Exercise helps improve my mood, gives me time to just focus on myself, has helped my self esteem as I've improved and taken on longer distances, has given me some sense of community among other runners.

My city has the scrambles and the insanely long light cycles, they were installed about 4 years ago. It has really helped to scare drivers out of city centre. Cyclists and pedestrians have also learned to avoid downtown because waiting 4 minutes for the light to change is excruciating no matter what mode of transport you're using.

I don't drive, but now I skirt around the outside of downtown when cycling because avoiding those intersections saves me ~10 minutes.

In Vancouver the light cycles are super fast, and it keeps things moving for everyone. They have the right idea, and there isn't much room for slack, you gotta be quick.
I have almost the opposite opinion to the author on the use of PDFs. I quite enjoy the experience of reading PDFs as opposed to just about any other e-document format, at least for the types of documents where PDFs are typically an option (e.g. books, magazines, and scholarly papers).

In particular, the points they specifically call out about the difficulties with PDFs are either contrary to my experience or irrelevant to me:

They cite: "... difficult to browse, impossible to read on a phone, uncomfortable to read on a tablet, hostile to screen readers, impractical to search engines ..."

Browsability: I use Calibre [1] as an e-document library and PDFs are a first class citizen. It is a lovely piece of software for which I have few complaints and much praise.
Phone and tablet readability: I've used a mix of GoodReader and more recently Documents on my iPhones and iPads and have never had troubles with reading PDFs on them.
Screen reader access: I'm not much of a screen reader user, so no comment.
Impractical to search: While you may occasionally need to go to an extra step to search PDF collections, it's hardly impractical and there are many performant options. Calibre includes a full-text indexing feature for your whole document library, to name one.

Am I in the minority here for actually preferring PDFs?

There are a bunch of examples of that (mostly referred to as suspended animation) and a few that even have been covered in medical journals. There are examples on wikipedia[1].

Omega Tau, a science & engineering podcast, with a light focus on aviation. For each episode, they invite a technical expert (e.g. they've had astronauts, various types of pilots, scientists/engineers, etc. on) and go in depth for 1-3 hours. They let their guests speak and they don't dumb it down too much, as they assume that most of their audience has some type of science/engineering background. No music / other filler content. It's from a German team but half the episodes are in English (and many of their guests are native English speakers). https://omegataupodcast.net/category/podcast-en/

Fighter Pilot Podcast. Exactly what it says. A former US Navy F/A-18 pilot invites other military aviation people to talk about military aviation related topics - "the aircraft, the weapons systems and the people" - an hour at a time. Somewhat technical at times, but generally focuses more on the people and the culture. It does get a bit repetitive after a hundred episodes or so (when they do one aircraft per episode), but the early episodes were great. https://www.fighterpilotpodcast.com/
