Ah! Ambiguous? So the courts should decide?

What's the problem here?
> I NEVER want to see "so-and-so commented on ~~~"

This was the nail in the coffin for me. I just want to see what my friends post in the order they post it. But Facebook mangled the feed so bad they drove me away as a user. They’re doing the same thing to Instagram. While it doesn’t show your friends acitivty, it also barely shows anything they post. One post from a friend. One suggested post. One ad. One suggested post. Another ad. Then another post from a friend. Then when you’re “all caught up” it’s just ads and suggested posts. Yes you can tap the logo then tap following to get a chronological feed but I want that to be the default.
>>I think some of the GM hate originates from people being sore about the bailout.

The "sourness" is not about the bailout per say, it is the fact they took American Tax Payer money and used that to move the bulk of their manufacturing to Mexico, including parts manufacturing. The American tax payer built their automotive factories in Mexico. The bailouts was to "protect American jobs" but it simply delayed the layoffs until they got the Mexico factories going
I didn't edit the comment. You read it how you wanted to.

Some of the first LAN parties I participated in included Doom over IPX, using 10BASE2 ethernet adapters... in fact I just now put a BNC connector from those days down on my desk.

Ah simpler times... or were they :-)
Prosecuted for using public land?
That seems like high volume tome. You're not being doxxed, you're operating a business. You need to be legally reachable somehow.
I watched that movie a few times before I realized Jeremy Irons was prognosticating. I had thought he was admitting he had become blind to the future, which made his decisiveness in that meeting a bit frightening.
If the attacker has password+security key(+its PIN), what help is dropping the security level to just password -- the attacker has that too.
> And is the City of Sydney engaging in a municipal tit for tat?

No doubt. I remember a story here on HN about politicians making traffic worse on purpose by extending red light times just to force people to look at more ads while they wait. I don't think these people have any limits or scruples. Always assume they are corrupt.
No, they'll still want to come here en masse even if we don't do those things to them.
> Safety is overrated. If safety is the most important aspect of software then we should have been using Ada for everything by now.

I would guess nobody would say something such stupid if they would be actually legally liable for the code they ship.

Where people actually can be sued for software bugs ADA is widely used, btw.

The good news is: The EU is working on removing the liability exclusion for software products finally. Let's see whether someone would say "safety is overrated" again after the EU authorities are done with changing the legislation and vendors will end up in front of a court for security breaches caused by the software they ship.
Energy consumed doing nothing of value, is substantially worse than energy consumed actually doing something.

So yes you are correct, it would be pretty easy win, but not for who you think.
The only "moral outrage" here would be if they released experimental code (as they called it) into the gpl version, got people to test out, make prs for it, then yanked it out before it was complete and moved out to the paid version. No clue how it actually went here.

I was going to take an even contrarian-er view but after typing it out three times I have to agree, it would be better to just separate them by arity and intent. I frequently use the index parameter, but I never do with a function reference because it’s a footgun from below. And mapping over entries is a well-established pattern, at least enough so that it’s worth the inconvenience of having to do it explicitly.
What about the Kin software which was canned along with the device after just a hundred or so sales?
Interesting perspective, I had not thought about it that way.

Peloton classes involve a lot of music and shouting by the instructor. It remains to be seen whether that would work for you.
There's not doubt about that at all. My question was about whether having total dependency on government forever is a path that will ever lead to better outcomes for that and other population segments in similar dependency scenarios.

I cannot find a single example in human history where a group of people under such circumstances were able to achieve the kind of change in their lives that those outside such systems.

This does not mean "cut off the help immediately and let them figure it out" as one or more commenters who clearly need to be introduced to the concept of having a conversation chose to mischaracterize. Of course not.

It is perfectly sensible to help people for a wide variety of reasons. And we should definitely do it. Nobody would want to live in the kind of society that does not.

However, I think it is fair to say that at some point help can very easily turn into something harmful.

And this isn't just about help or the poor. This, I believe, is a mechanism that is part of the human condition. How many multi-millionaire celebrities succumb to drugs, addition and sometimes even die because of it? It's always the same thing: No money worries, no need to be in a "daily grind", people disintegrate into potentially harmful behaviors.

It's bad enough when this happens to isolated individuals. When this extends to entire sub-groups of a society, it become a destructive force.

I don't know what the solution might be. I just know that people disintegrate when everything is handed to them.

Not to go too far, I saw this happen during the pandemic to my next door neighbor's adult son (30-something). He told me the money he was getting from the government was more than he was making at work. In the span of a year and a half he went from being a guy helped his parent, you could have a conversation with and went to work every day to a drunken drug addict. It was horrible to watch. Devastating.

This actually ruined this family. After the pandemic they kicked him out of the house. I just saw him yesterday. They guy is destroyed. Still living on a government handout for some reason. Not sure he will ever come back.

This is real.
Yes it's good if you're writing a C app and need to embed a concurrent scripting language with long-running tasks, and for some reason you can't write that part in C and just expose it to the script env, and also you can't use one of the three or four alternatives that are still a better choice for this specific scenario.
That's not the discussion here. Just because something is a law does not mean it is aligned with the ethics we have chosen as a society. There are thousands of laws written by wealthy people to protect their wealth. This is one of them. Look at the bigger picture.

Do you agree with chopping up land like this so that it is inaccessible to the public? That's the discussion we are having.

And you can be tired of it, and call it cynical, but unfortunately it is actually history. Police were literally created to protect the interests of the wealthy slave owners.

The USA has a very dark history that has informed today's society, and I'm delighted we are finally beginning to address this despite the pushback from conservatives who want to keep the status-quo and hide history by controlling textbooks and eliminating or re-writing history education.

Now back to the topic. This lawsuit is very important, and I hope it leads to positive change.
I'm speaking about the UX at multi billion dollar US companies because those are my stomping grounds.

I'm sure there are exceptions, but the discipline has become unnecessarily complicated in terms of processes, toolsets / systems, and organizational structure.

Also I feel like we have giant chip on our shoulder and have a desire to incessantly reinvent and come up with new things, positions, and processes to keeps ourselves relevant.

More personal attacks.

Here’s some advice for your personal benefit:

You can disagree with people and that’s fine. but share your ideas and respond to individual points you disagree with. avoid emotionally charged angry responses. you will only upset your self and drain mental energy thinking everyone else is out to get you. it’s unnecessary and unproductive
Ask HN: Password manager with user-defined cloud storage
Hi, very disappointed with Lastpass, and no longer trusting any cloud password manager, so what are the options for a paid or open source password manager that:

1) has multi-platform, multi-device support, and

2) has the ability to store encrypted password vaults in user-defined 3rd-party cloud file storage like Backblaze, Cloudflare, Google Cloud Storage, AWS S3 etc. much like how Arq Backup and other backup software allow user-defined 3rd-party cloud storage.

Got any suggestions or experience with using any such password managers?
In the case I'm thinking of, where it's a large tract of vacant unimproved land, thats not true at all. There are no trails or rock walls to speak of. There's no house. It's just land. If you can find a case where this happened I'd love to read about it.
that’s literally what the article is about
Index funds, certain types of bonds

Picking stocks is literally gambling. Stock prices are a random walk. People csn downvote me if they want to, but they can't change math.
Also, how did the checkerboard pattern happen to begin with? They don't want neighbors but they also don't want to buy the neighboring land, so having it landlocked in limbo is cheaper for them.
> You will not win the same number of blocks per year, and fundamentally can’t, unless you have the same share of the overall mining hashpower that entire time.

But, unless difficulty changes, the blockrate changes.

If you keep the entire existing network, and say I'm 0.002% of the hashpower; I'll win 1 block per year, losing 99.998% of blocks.

If the whole rest of the network goes away except me, it'll take me 1 year to mine a block. I lose 0% of blocks.

But in either case, I mine one block per year.
In some European countries you must let people pass. So even if you are landlocked it doesn't really matter. Ofcourse there is much more people so this issue would be here much bigger.
> I’m blown away that they know a buyer has a habit of doing this, yet continue to let them operate on the platform.

Makes me wonder if it's more convenient to have known scammers with known records (unbanned accounts) and just refund sellers since it's a known issue, than to have unknown scammers with less certainty (new accounts) with uncertainty on whether the seller is trying to pull fraud.
Do you type your variable names using vim or emacs?

“When should you use single letter var names” feels like one of those style/preference calls that doesn’t ever have solid rules, other than “if you’re working on a collaborative project, pick a rule and enforce it, even if it’s not perfect”
lua haters club rise up. I truly don't get why this language gets nothing but admiration on HN. I can only assume people have only used it for tiny personal scripting projects, or else just fucking loooove hand writing the for loops to do exciting niche things like parse csv.
For many years, I used Feedity for generating RSS feeds from webpages without one. They've since renamed to New Sloth, and also have a nice although basic feed reader. I like its article grouping feature, and use the whole package (feed creation and reading) for my research work on a daily basis.

I have no patience for FOSS maximalism as a default. That's why today I run NixOS.
I think that this is a very real factor, at least in some cases. The adjacent land-owners get to use that public land all the time, and they don't have all the bother of other folks using it along side them; in fact, I suppose, if they wanted to, they could try to charge for access to it (via a toll road). But in this way, it really isn't that different than similar issues around beach access.

I'm sure the landowners have other concerns, some of them more legitimate than others.
This triggered a thought; this puts emphasis on reputation, right? If there was an active redditor on a city's subreddit who builds a reputation for quality journalism, that kinda fills the gap.

But reddit doesn't emphasize reputation in that way; karma tracks activity and popularity. Some users can build up a reputation for a specific type of content, but that feels different.

Mastodon (haven't even really used it yet so just going on an outsider's understanding) enables both locality via servers (like the subreddit) as well as emphasizing identity/reputation (a la Twitter) so one could follow or otherwise tag certain users, allowing them to build a tracked and public reputation for quality journalism
Great article to read if you want to know how the "sausage was made" at Twitter. I think most people knew it was an absolute dumpster fire, but it's even worse than that.

As expected, the folks doing the policing of "disinformation" were entirely unqualified for the role (I love the banning of the Harvard School of Medicine epidemiologist who said "vaccines are for people at risk" - apparently the folks at Twitter know more about this than he does) and ended up making decisions that were "politically expedient" rather than focusing on the truth.

Or the attempt by Jim Baker (Twitter general counsel, former FBI) to ban a tweet by Trump about his own Covid illness and Twitter's Roth saying "optimism isn't a ban-able offense".

This article perfectly proves why campaigns against "disinformation" are bound to fail - inevitably factual and important information gets censored because it's inconvenient to the people in power.

After reading this article I'm reminded of Rand Paul's quote "Do you know who the greatest propagator of disinformation in the history of the world is? The U.S. government."

Amazingly this news goes over like a wet rag at HN. Which is shocking considering the "hacker ethos" about not bowing down to authority.
filteredData, noDateFilteredData, etc. gives me more info than a, b, etc.

Let's say you have 2 lines of code where the variable a is used: a = expr, b = a.filter(...)

Now I have to do the mental effort to see what expr is doing, instead of going directly to the second line and see filteredDateData = filteredData.filter(...)
Yes, that is what I was thinking. I seem to recall that that is the case in Sweden, at least.
At the same time, being unable to rent an apartment in DC as a Congressperson effectively cuts out people who were, or are of, a certain income strata from ever serving as representatives and Senators. Is that actually desirable?
I have been doing this in order to learn how much weight I immediately gain after a meal to actually learn how what I eat results in weight changes. Like eating 6 "meatless" chicken nuggets vs a slice or two of pizza and adjust accordingly to meet my daily target weight for the end of the night right before bed for healthy weight loss on a weekly basis. Portion sizes in the USA are so far different from reality that what you think is "one serving" is actually 2-3+ for a given meal, and I have had to completely rethink what a "healthy" portion size actually looks like for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Have they done a 2D Mario recently?
I've become loathe to name anything after specific people because I don't really believe in the premise anymore. Maybe at one time in the past it made sense but I've grown deeply skeptical of the "great person" model of progress.

To me all these sorts of dilemmas flow from a flawed premise to begin with.
Unfortunately for the Texan, this information is already being tracked. I imagine it’s easy for the government to do so.

It’s just harder for the Texan, and for every single other person in the country, to interact with the government. National ID would even save government resources! Imagine all the duplicated state processes and spending that could be eliminated! Imagine the various political arguments about voter ID that wouldn’t even matter if every single person was assigned an ID for free at birth.
I've been staring at this post for a few minutes now, trying to figure out whether this was posted here to make fun of it, or as a genuine appreciation.

Debanding has been a thing for many years now, for frameservers (Avisynth, Vapoursynth), video players (madvr, mpv) and games (reshade), and it certainly didn't require AI to work.

Now in comes this company and introduces such a basic feature, while boasting about it as if it's the second coming of Einstein or something. And it uses AI, because of course it does, it's 2022 after all.

LOL.
I can’t speak to Metal, but you’ve gotten at what I wanted to be contrary about in my sibling comment: number (or equivalent, and same goes for other primitives) is an inadequate type. If it’s an array index, it’s not just any number. If it’s a range restricted count of something like pixels, it’s not just any number! Any code in almost any language can box these types so they’re safe to use, but almost no one ever does except in ML langs (or maybe Javaish ones) because across the board it’s a huge bunch of ceremony for mostly worse performance.
I am not an American, been in US couple of times as a tourist. But I used to believe that US values lives of their citizens. I am not talking about Saving Private Ryan stuff, but take the recent event of exchanging American basketball player detained in Russia to an outrage war criminal in the middle of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. That Bout guy will definitely help Putin to kill quite a lot of Ukrainian soldiers and civilians in the next several months or even years. But US still exchanged him.

Now, I am reading the news that tens of people in the US are dying in snowstorms. 49, current official number is. Where are the effort to save them and more? Where are snowplows, bulldozers, helicopters, National Guard, army? Isn't this as serious as a typical tropical cyclone? Or US citizens in Florida and Miami are somehow different from those from South Dakota or Buffalo?
You and others are attributing ill intent to the landowners that I did not read in the article. While it is true they receive that benefit from this situation, they aren't the ones who created it. They didn't decide which land to make public and which to make private. They are simply playing the hand they've been dealt.
Darknet Diaries: XBox Underground.
It was very fascinating, nothing short of a thriller movie, the way it plays out from simple desire to hack into the realm of criminal seems almost unreal.
It sounds like a one-way ticket to not being frustrated at the government and inadequate, duplicated, pointless state ID processes.

The problem is the courts haven't decided thus the sheriff is enforcing a law that doesn't exist, as per the complaint up the thread.
But being able to measure changes in the pinchable love handles is not so simple. After all, getting regular feedback on whether a change is making a difference can be an incentive to maintain that change.
Seems like a pretty narrow law could fix it. Easement of 3 feet at corners of very rural land where there is public land on either side. Surely such a "taking" of 0.000001% of private holdings could be tolerated - incredibly tiny compared to large swaths of easement on most properties across the country.

The Brittish hammered down basically every other rebellion, without French intervention they would likely have ramped up further. They barely sent any troops to America and gave up really quickly, for example in the Second Boer War they sent 5 times as many soldiers, if they had sent that many to America which they probably would have without French intervention then America would have lost completely, no doubt.
Thank you. That platform status might be moved to the home page, and also updated (e.g., to add TUI, clarify the state of Android, clarify when it relies on a partner project, etc.).

I'd prefer it like this...

// get users older than 90

a = data.results;

b = a.filter(u => u.dob > 123456)

seniorUsers = b.map(x => {name: x.name, age: x.age})

// self contained

// comes out with one final var that is named to be used later on

// other vars are obviously meant to be ignored and just placeholders

// comment explains what is happening so each var doesn't need sacrifice comprehension speed
Yes, but then there is the problem of getting out
What I am saying is that the help, in the long run, seems to be nothing but harmful.

> taking away the assistance without also changing the fundamentals of the game might not help.

Exactly right. I didn't suggest it has to be taken out cold-turkey. That would be incredibly cruel.

At this point it is probably a 25 to 50 year process. We have to figure out how to effectively get people out of these horrid places and circumstances.

The assistance, then, has to be designed to achieve precisely that and nothing less. The proof is in the results. The fact that we have millions of people living under these circumstances is evidence enough that we are not helping.

There are layers to this. As is always the case, education is likely a massive element of the problem.

I can't suggest an entire solution, that would take a group of well-qualified people time and study to lay out a plan to bring populations under the grips of well-intentioned-yet-harmful government assistance out of the darkness they live.

Everyone should have equivalent opportunities. When we claim to help, yet harm, we condemn entire segments of society to never have access to the opportunities everyone else might enjoy. This is cruel.

Say stuff like this on HN and you get nothing less than merciless downvoting, mischaracterizations and personal attacks. Makes you wonder who these people are. Who actually thinks we are doing a good job with these segments of our society?

It's Einstein's definition of insanity: Continue to do the same thing and expect different results.

In Maine, great ponds are considered public and you must allow public access even if your land surrounds the water. This does not mean that you have the right to trample their farms or ride your dirt bike, but you must allow access at least by foot. I think this should be the model for all public land.
