When your boss tells you to do something, you can always say no, but you don't treat it as a mere suggestion. There's a power imbalance that makes it something more. You can't treat government communications with Twitter as mere suggestions. The government's power makes it more serious than that.
Why the false idea that replaceable batteries don't demand serious compromises in other areas of product design?

If EU bureaucrats can design a better phone, well... why don't they?
How are you getting past the prompt size limit?
IMO optogenetics can be a little more difficult to manage depending on the specific circuit you're studying and the recording method. Remember, you need to deliver the light to the actual neuron being manipulated and with in vivo models you're kinda limited. There are some recording probes with light guides built in but again, this method is limited and doesn't work super well for longer term recording projects

Personally I like pharmacological manipulation, but I'm probably a bit biased in that regard :)
> Then someone found an archived copy of all but one of the tweets, and they all turned out to be pictures of Hunter Biden's penis.

Yes, he left his images on laptop. That's not revenge porn, as far as I know.

> The smoking gun email in the "Part 1" Twitter Files

Don't quote me on that, but from my memory not only were links to Hunter deleted, but so were discussions of it from even reputable journalist. I think it was a Washington Post that discussed Hunter's laptop, and it got buried or deleted.

That's only Part 1.

They also marked Trump tweets as fake, even though they found some exonerating information and vice versa.

Plus the weekly meetings with FBI/OGA (alias for CIA), around misinformation spreading tweets, etc.

You basically have a government agency labeling stuff as misinformation for deranking/deletion. If that doesn't raise any First Amendment issues, I'm not sure what will? Capturing journalist and keeping them in horrible conditions? Water torture and organ transfer of said journalists?
AWS Aurora?
Are they supposed to be helping the CIA get around their mandate not to interfere domestically?

I'm struggling to understand what punishment needs to be handed out, here. The government asked Twitter to keep some of their fake propaganda accounts online and Twitter did. What laws have been violated?
It’s not quite that simple. It’s also probabilistically arriving at the asymptote of the ideal solution for many cases. If an item is accessed often, it’ll be re-inserted quickly when it is accidentally removed but only at risk of eviction at a rate of 1/n. On average, the items you use often will be in the cache and the items you don’t, won’t. It has nothing to do with specifically actually random access pattern. Because you access it a lot, the fact that it got evicted one of those n accesses is completely amortized by the other accesses (even more so when you take into account that you never evict the item that you are currently accessing).

The solution fails for specific non-random access scenarios. Eg you access an item exactly every n-1 accesses: in an LRU, it’ll always be in the cache but in a probabilistic eviction scenario, it’s most likely not going to be in there.
The problem with maintaining bridges is that there are loads of them, and by definition they are a moving target to track the destination systems. So while there's a three person full-time bridge team, they don't have bandwidth to jump on each and every bug as it comes in - and supplying more muscle there is not going to happen unless the funding issues mentioned in the blog post get resolved. So either the wider open source community will need to step up to contribute fixes, or the bugs will get resolved when they get to the top of the todo list.

All I want for Christmas is to figure out a way to locate more $ to more people to work fulltime on stuff like the bridge backlog!

P.S. I think the sibling reply has this wrong: there absolutely is money to be made in interoperability, including bridging. However, there's no incentive for that money to flow back to the upstream project, other than long-term thinking or good will.
God forbid! A company trying to make money? How awful!

Maybe Sun would still be around if it was better at monetizing the things it invented. Maybe that would have been a better outcome than Oracle owning all of it.

Should we also be mad at Red Hat for trying to monetize Linux (which they didn’t even invent)?

I don't totally get this one, even with just Whisper and ChatGPT you could build one hell of a smart assistant compared to Alexa or Siri. Maybe it doesn't come out next year, but I bet this category comes back in a year or two.
Are you supposed to take what personally? I think most, if not all, would consider being labeled a “leaver” after they were, without warning and after getting good reviews, an insult.

Whether or not it’s an HR term doesn’t really matter —- it’s insensitive to write on a box sent to someone in this circumstance.
Twitter will go bankrupt but will limp along ala Tumbler. Musk will pretend this was his plan all along, and dip into the fortune 200s. A replacement for journalist microblogging will emerge, I am not ruling out activitypub.

I think it’s a combination of never having been as good as we might’ve liked (Taibbi’s stories from when he was working for The eXile suggest where this came from) and valuing being contrary to the establishment more than being right (Matt Yglesias is another good example of that). That can give them a big hit when the establishment is wrong (Iraq, whether bankers should be punished in 2008) but it sets them up for failure when it’s not (Trump), and since they have made their careers on that it’s extra hard to reconsider since that means acknowledging that their defining instinct led them astray.
Because not everyone can afford and/or use latest and greatest hardware, Xserver and X software in general will never go away. Even when Wayland is mainstream. There will always be a need for older software. This is my prediction for the future. Just wait and see ^_^
I don't know about phones, but here where I live (Eastern Europe) there is no official Apple stores, but are official partners. I own 16 inch 2019 Macbook Pro which has cycle count 984 and doesn't hold much charge any more. I asked for a quote for replacement from official Apple partner and they said it would cost me 861 euros. I consider it very expensive.
They were fired. They didn’t “leave”.

Why not write their name? It’s not that hard.
The GPSr crowd tend to be less obsessed by their devices being a fraction of a millimeter thinner than last year's model, though.

(Much as I love a good locking mechanism and a rubber seal, I can see it making the phone a little thicker than it would be was the battery non-removable.)
That and writing LaTeX or Tikz. These are the things you have to do every now and then, but don't do enough to commit them to long-term memory.

Binary compatibility matters less on Linux, true; what people are actually interested in on the desktop is usually UI compatibility, as in keeping the same look and feel and workflow. That's something Linux is a lot better at than either MacOS or MS Windows, both of which force you into new UIs with the shift of fashions and corporate buzzwords.

I mean hell my parents and every old person I have provided tech support to generally if they find out you can't change a battery in a device make a comment along the lines of "that's dumb" and "that's wasteful". The kids I tech about tech are the same. So yeah..

Probably just your peer group bud. Most of my mates would prefer to spend 10 seconds unscrewing a compartment than paying someone 10 bucks for nothing.
Might not grasp the full context here, but it’s trivial to lazily import modules in your own code. I know every beginners guide will advice you not to do that, but that’s just because it’s an easy footgun for new programmers. If you have some cli tool that only needs scipy for certain sub commands you can just move it to those subcommand calls so it’s loaded when needed instead of up front.
> current average level of comfort with government involvement

It really all comes down to this- it's largely a matter of personal comfort/risk tolerance. Personally, I'd be happy to see entire agencies wiped out, the CIA and the NSA obliterated, the FBI cut back to where it was in the 60s or so, preferably focused on mob/cartel activity and the like. The CIA should never have been separated out from the military and given so much free reign. From my point of view, the CIA's history is just a series of catastrophic mistakes. There's arguments to made on both sides, but no objectively clear right or wrong choice.
I was just looking at Tauri yesterday. How do you feel about using native web views? Made me worry about having to deal with subtle incompatibilities ala web design.
This buck stops with congress. Be alarmed if you want but make sure you address the actual root cause.

In our system of governance, it is the responsibility of Congress to hold the executive accountable. All these agencies are part of the Executive arm of the United States of America. If there is over-reach by secretive agencies of the Executive, it is the duty and responsibility of congressional members, representatives of the public, to be rigorous in the exercise of their duty and hold them accountable.

[p.s. Support archive.org .. ^ is archived below]

"Allegations of domestic spying by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) surfaced in the 1970s, triggering public demand for an investigation of federal surveillance operations. In 1975 the Senate established the Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities, headed by Senator Frank Church of Idaho. The Church Committee’s reports exposed abuses and led to legislation governing domestic and foreign surveillance—most notably, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978. House and Senate permanent select committees established at that time now oversee U.S. intelligence.

The critical question before the committee was to determine how the fundamental liberties of the people can be maintained in the course of the Government’s effort to protect their security."

I'll admit I never read the Church Committee report before, but it's actually shocking in the sense that an official report from the Senate of the United States would today be read almost as a 'radical' position, which itself is a telling reflection of the changes that have occurred in the past 47 years:

"Our investigation has confirmed that warning. We have seen segments of our Government, in their attitudes and action, adopt tactics unworthy of a democracy, and occasionally reminiscent of the tactics of totalitarian regimes. We have seen a consistent pattern in which programs initiated with limited goals, such as preventing criminal violence or identifying foreign spies, were expanded to what witnesses characterized as "vacuum cleaners"," sweeping in information about lawful activities of American citizens."

HN routinely reject low quality posts.

If for a certain topic, the quality is so bad that allowing it just further drags the whole community, then it's reasonable to ban.

Nonsense, the claim made by those that say the end of knowledge work is nigh is that an AGI is coming that is superior to human intelligence. Humans do not need to train and read / consume gigabytes and terabytes of past solutions to produce new work and they do it at a trivial fraction of the amount of watts.
Is that the debate? Because I think it's pretty settled the files show extensive collaboration of the FBI and Twitter on controversial topics, it shows many instances of twits censored by a request from the FBI. Am I moving the debate position or are you? Did you even read them? Many comments here accept the existing evidence as something normal. I disagree strongly.
Ask HN: Working on my first company, how should I make a landing page? [in 2022]
I'm building a KMS based on some of my and my colleagues' (and my dad, who is an ERP guy and works with setting up order management, etc systems for SMBs) pain points.

I have built most of the backend (go), and most of the UI application (react/tailwind), but I've never ever made a landing page in my life. Most of my experience is on full stack application development (native/flutter mobile apps, react web apps, and go/typescript backends).

I feel really dumb here because I feel like this is pretty simple to do, but I don't know the recommended practices.

I looked at Squarespace, and similar offerings, but I want to have control over it. I also looked at gatsby which is a static site generator. I've never used this before.

What are some of my options here? I've designed my landing page on Figma and paper, and I just have a pricing page, sign up page, help center. Should I just make a react app and server side render the pages? Or is there some better options? I'd like people to be able to find my site eventually from google and other search engines, such as a help center tutorial article or the pricing page or features.

I'm going to host the actual application at app.getarchivist.com, so I want to be able to redirect from getarchivist.com static pages (like a business signs up, goes thru the flow, and ends up at app.getarchivist.com).

I never worked on a company before, and I'm excited with how things have been going so far talking to people and building something that I can demo them.

Anyway now I'm just rambling now and I would like some advice. Thank you, merry xmas & happy holidays!

If this is the case, I wonder if it implies that you can pursue an equivalent job IN CANADA, with Amazon paying for anything lost in the process...
Exactly... of the relatively tech savvy people I know who use this incident as some sort of vindication for their choice to not use a pw manager, are the same people who either store passwords in plaintext electronically, or write them down but use passwords that have a weak keyspace and are under 10 chars. I'm pretty sure I read an article from a month ago wherein 4 rtx4090s could chew through the hashes of 8 char passwords with a strong keyspace in a few days or hours.
I really like this, but to to add an alternate perspective: I’m skeptical of deathbed regrets, and regrets in general. I don’t think your present self actually knows what your past self went through. We remember events but are bad at remembering emotions except in very broad, general ways. You might say “I wish I had spent more time with my kids and less time at work”. But you won’t remember the feeling of dissatisfaction you had with your home life and the pride you felt when you delivered on a difficult project. You could say “I wish I was more satisfied with my home life” but how much control do you have over that, really?

I don’t remember where I heard this: “every person you see is fighting a battle that you know nothing about, so be kind, always”. I think we can extend that same kindness to ourselves.
Having cut my teeth on FrontPage, I remember being unreasonably happy with the markup generated by DreamWeaver.
Why not just have the user enter their phone number? You only store a hash of it and only verify whether it is indeed the one they registered with, and use the real one only for the duration of sending an SMS.

Not too secure, as phone numbers are easy to crack (possibly with randomized salt, that even twitter has to “brute force”?), but at least not every entry will be easily readable.
I think that on #4 it is a bit bold to point to microplastics. However, I agree that human mental health is in decline due to environmental factors (as well as electronics use).

I'm guessing you've never had to give lectures to students who are staring at screens instead of your presentation and are clearly not paying attention? It's distracting for the lecturer as much as it is for the students in the room and it makes the job much more challenging to focus. No one wants to give a lecture to a room of people who are uninterested in the material.

So I'd recommend checking out Peter Zeihan but he argues globalization isn't a natural economic result but rather globalization came about as the US agreed to allow other countries to participate in the first world market on the condition that they don't ally with the Soviets. Thus arguing globalization was only ever a security not economic policy and now that the security problem it is trying to solve is no longer there globalization is failing.

What law, or prospective law, guarantees prevents Kickstarter from booting out users that they don't want?

There are certain protections for certain groups (eg religion) but there aren't any laws compelling Kickstarter to allow porn projects. There aren't laws that compel YouTube to allow political content, medical content. There are no legal rights guaranteeing any of this.

Half the problem here is that people don't realise where the problem is. The rights established in the past don't take YouTube and Twitter into account.

If we want these rights, we'll have to establish them ourselves.
