Calling me a bad person because I occasionally interact with Hacker News is pretty surprising though. Nevermind her implications that I would be racist as well.

As much of a childish reaction as I feel her response is because she saw HN in site stats, I instantly won't read won't she wrote because of that.
These are great. Thanks for sharing.

Do you happen to have any on probability or statistics and or both?

> I cook an amazing lasagna-like…

> people keep wanting to mimic the same meat-based recipes with vegetables...

Do you see what you’ve just done here?
I think a lot of people either eat out or buy and heat up frozen ready-to-eat meals or meal parts (chicken tenders, fries, bag of vegetables, bag of stir fry mix) because they lack either the time or inclination to prep foods themselves. These are the maybe-could-be vegetarians that meat alternatives really appeal to.
i usually like a good rant, but there's not much here -- maybe some typical right-wing mishmash of jingoistic pro-imperialist-America sentiment, combined with some Get Off My Lawn, and maybe a dash of Somebody Should Do Something.

i would characterize this piece as a few things, but 'serious' would not be one of them.
The claim that the Russians schemed to find a print and showed it widely as anti-US propaganda (with mixed results) is almost the opposite of the headline from the submitter.
Very cool, ty for the responses!
is it though? it looks to me like this is the opposite of trying to scale policies - they're picking premium news that can be trusted to not need their moderation policies, and highlighting that.

the riff-raff can be subject to moderation policies, but there's no need to hire moderators to watch over reuters or propublica.

No, stop. I want to believe this is bad. Stop commenting with facts.
> "Our investigation is still ongoing, but the malicious activity appears to be fully contained at this time, and there is currently no evidence that the bad actor was able to breach or compromise our systems or our network"

Why do companies always try to sugarcoat things? Its analogous to doctor gives us bad news but shows us the silver-lining. I guess these are more of the PR side of things.
NK doesn't have that many excuses in 2023, but that wasn't really the point (or even claimed) anywhere in the comment.

The claim is much simpler: if you're looking to compare the US and USSR during the postwar period, you need to consider the raw resources they had available. The US triumphed, and achieved a wide range of humanitarian successes in the process, but the why of that boils down to an intact workforce and a roaring industrial base, not some definitive dustup between Communism (tm) and Capitalism (tm).
Data breach and unlawful data processing penalties should be painful so lack of investments in security would mean something more than just momentary bad press.

It should REALLY hurt. Like strong financial penalties and CEO going to jail-hurt or at least board of directors throwing the CEO on the pavement-hurt.

For now, it's just a potential slap-on-the-wrist cost of doing business which companies like T-Mobile or Google are very happy to risk time and again.

Almost all statistics related to wealth and income I have seen indicate power law distributions, which would mean median is lower than mean.

Alternative meat products are really great for people who can't or don't cook. I can cook fine now, but I still get lots of alternative meat products when I don't want to make a meal. At this point I'd consider fake chicken nuggets to be a comfort food.
> "You get the government that 50% + 1 vote wants"

If you're lucky you get that. Usually you get what a majority of voters in a majority of districts want, which may very well be a superminority of total voters.

> "If I refuse to deal with my government, they will send people with guns to put me in jail."

If you fully drop out and become a wandering homeless person inside of a very, very large forest you can probably avoid dealing with the government. If they send people with guns after you you obviously aren't trying hard enough.
So I pulled up what seems to be the original source for the Soviet car-envy reference. It's an April 13, 1955 bylined piece by C.L. Sulzberger in The New York Times, datelined Hollywood.

His article is really a wide-ranging essay about movie tastes and U.S perceptions around the world. The final sentences read: "The Russians managed to obtain a print of 'Grapes of Wrath' and displayed it widely behind the Iron Curtain, hoping to convey a harsh impression of the United States. But the main impression, reported by our embassies, was 'In America, even the tramps have cars.'"

Sulzberger (part of the family that owned/controls the NYT) was a well-regarded establishment journalist. So we're on pretty safe ground to assume that at least one U.S. diplomat told him what he quoted. But then it gets hazy. Was this just the diplomats' ready-loaded witty retort? Or an overheard murmur from a couple Russians? That'd be my guess. We're way short of knowing what the vast Slavic world deeply felt.

Kind of amazing how that sort of aside comes to be treated as broad-based fact nearly 70 years later.
Lying, sloppy research, or trust it's it all depends on the author of this article.For example if I cite a NYtimes article that has their own research I'm not going to check into their sources (depending on my later point). I also wouldn't fault someone for doing this because it's a generally reliable paper in my opinion.

Of course does it matter for something like this? The importance of the information should dictate the thoroughness of research.

Whether or not a film was banned in the USSR because it showed citizens had cars doesn't really matter except in discussions like this. Meaning, what's the loss if it's not true? Not much. What's the value of deception here? The USSR is gone.

So I don't agree with your last statement.
> including sharing stolen sensitive data of normal people with whoever can plead a case

Wait, I thought Maia was offering to share who was on the no-fly list, not this stolen sensitive data this comment is claiming
Again, read the paper. Numbers were thought to be an intuitive concept - they are not, not even amongst humans. One needs not numbers to keep track of their family or food anymore than they need calculus to say, "Wow that thing's speeding up." They have "one", "two", and "many" and that works for all their purposes.

Basically look to any example, where what is discovered is not a recombination of preexisting knowledge but the emergence of new knowledge and you'll find search is pointless. As an example, consider hand washing. Now a days we all intuit that hand washing is a good way to prevent the spread of disease. But of course that intuition is because we all know of and accept a germ based theory of disease. A couple of hundred years ago this was not true. Go a little further back and the concept of germs did not even exist. And so surgeons did not regularly wash their hands even before doing things like surgery.

Now I challenge you to, even in wildly hand-wavey fashion, to describe the creation of a turing machine that could, from the basis of knowledge of an individual of such times, "discover" the secret of hand washing. There were no records kept on hand washing : illness rates or anything of the sort, because nobody even stopped to consider the impact it might be having.

The difficulty you're going to face here is that there is no preexisting knowledge to draw upon. You are not "searching" for an answer, but having to create it, seemingly from nothing.
Yeah but that was the one claiming he could retroactively make it okay so now that Biden is president I guess by that logic it's retroactively okay as well.
Have you considered there might be a reason for that? That kind of "100% personal freedom, no government telling me what to do" libertarianism is impossible nonsense.

It would exist for about three seconds before people realized that there's a hell of a lot of stuff that works much more smoothly/is only possible at all if a bunch of people pool resources together and delegate responsibility to one person or a group of people to manage it. And then bam! you've got a government.

When people say they're libertarians I usually give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that what they mean is "I think the government should be smaller than it is today" and not "I think the government should not exist".

If you really want to exist without being beholden to the government there's plenty of places you could build an isolated cabin in the woods, collect rainwater, grow your own food etc. Or move to some kind of commune.
> Sometimes you have to see the fallacies transpire yourself to truly appreciate how much it enables outright lying.

This is a contentious issue, so it's understandable if you don't respond, but could you share your opinion on how science was used to justify the Covid pandemic response? Do you feel that most public policies were well-founded with credible scientific citations, or did the problem you describe, plague this event as well?
This can be difficult to do if you call into other people's code.
Seconding Steele (cf. my comment)
I’ve done 150 lines on what I think was a two-line diff before, and >50 on a one-line diff a few times. But I am known for my verbose commit messages. (After two years working on a twenty-odd-year-old commercial code base that had had a dozen or so people working on it constantly, I had around two thirds of the longest commit messages. My longest was something like 400 lines, but most of that was a list of affected class names or similar, on a diff of tens of thousands of lines from a mostly-automated refactoring.)

I’ve definitely also added multiple paragraphs of in-code comments to an otherwise-single-character change, where it’s an ongoing consideration rather than something that can reasonably be left in a commit message alone. Then my commit messages gets to be brief, directing you to read the added comment instead.
I see plenty of discussion about CFAA being used against scrapers, particularly automated "bot" scrapers, but I don't see anything about alternative clients, where a human consumer of the service is barred from using the API. But I also only did cursory searching, so some sources for CFAA applied to API would be helpful.

I'm not sure how this would be any different than other software projects that use an API they don't own. Things like Cider for Apple Music, Ripcord for Slack, and the many Spotify clients all come to mind. Perhaps those are less aggressive in pursing 3rd party clients?
Just flag this as a dupe.
> Affirmations do not work

it is about what story you are telling yourself. Its not the affirmations that work or not work. If it works, its the narrative/story that 'I am doing affirmations everyday and these will make me a better person' . If it doesnt work 'I am doing affirmations but hey whats the point this is silly'.
You might be surprised. Imposing such a dietary restriction can take a lot of mental and emotional effort (especially if people around you are annoyed by the fact they must accomodate you, or act threatened by your choices). When I started being veg, I had very few (0?) other lifestyle changes unless you include maybe trying make a few environmentally conscious decisions. I wouldn't take your word on the motivations of your friends, unless you know they are no longer veg today.
Thank you. The entire thing boils down to a remark some embassy worker may have said at some point. Nothing about Stalin personally ordering the showing or the censorship, which is what made me look for the source.
They're legacy in the same way z80 and MIPS are. They reached an evolutionary dead end of full feature parity for their use space. The 68k hasn't been developed further because it does everything it's target audience needs and it's power user sphere was supplanted by ARM, x86/amd64 and PPC/Power.

Sometimes, a technology is good enough and doesn't need anymore. That's the entire reason the Cortex-M (and R) series exists; because you don't need a Cortex-A715 to drive a motor and monitor a thermostat.
"Investigative journalism", yadda, yadda.

Journalism is dead. There is only propaganda (2-3 kinds of propaganda). Or maybe it was always the case only that I never noticed that.

There are 8 billion people in this world, close to 200 countries. Every second, there are millions of different events happen everywhere. Someone is born, someone dies, someone is killed, someone is promoted, some building is built, some building is being demolished.

There is simply no way to describe all this in any newspaper. The more I live, the more I see that every paper, TV channel, blogger, carefully selects tiny percent of facts out of billions of facts that happen every day. Only those facts that push the agenda or fits existing view.

There's no independent news and can't be. I don't know even what happens in a district which is 5 km away from my house. Thinking that I'm perfectly aware of what happens in some country that is 1000, 2000, or 6000 km away from my home is insanity.
Indeed this was my original point way above, though I would postfix it by saying, as I did also, above, that the Soviet planning system was a failure and Stalin a tyrant. The original claim of TFA was just pure nonsense. You can't explain a Russian's lack of a car in the rubble of 1948 Stalingrad based on "Soviet communism bad, American capitalism good"

You can probably make that claim in 1975, though. Unfortunately people are not reading that far down into my comment to get the distinction.

In the UK (arising from GDPR so I would assume EU as well), sensitive personal data is an enhanced category of PII which requires more considered handling.

This would include things like race, health conditions, disabilities, sexual orientation, political views - basically things that you wouldn't expect T-Mobile to be storing.
Fine them $1500 per account breached, per PII attribute taken. From the other posts it looks like at least 4 attributes were taken. So that is $1500 x 4 x 37M = $222B. I think $222B is a paltry sum compared to the amount of damage that was probably caused by this, but let’s settle for $222B anyway. Breaches like this should end the company forever and the C-Suite should go to prison for criminal negligence. I am sick and tired of this.

> I'm sure many people like the ease of donating through this program.

This is exactly the controversy. Customers are not making donations in these types of programs. Whether a portion of the proceeds are donated or not, the customer pays the same price. Hence, all of it is the retailer's income. The customer only influences to whom the retailer donates and how much. And because the customer is not the donor in the transaction, organizations do not get contact information.

Despite this arrangement, customers often consider themselves a donor anyway, and some have argued this can lead to a reduction in overall donations as a result.

> Finally the last part of your comment is so disturbing.

It is disturbing. Myths abound, and organizations sometimes struggle to educate donors about the basics of philanthropy, especially the larger numbers of donors with smaller pockets.

In the case of AmazonSmile, I think it's hit or miss. Plenty of organizations get paltry payouts. We've averaged less than $20 a quarter since we've been participating over the last four years, and almost of third of those quarters had no payout at all.

Maybe it's generational because I seem to be around the same age as you and I also hated the way my music collection "disappeared" into Apple Music (and a whole host of other things I disliked, chief of which that it keeps giving options for things you almost never want or need while at the same time it's hard to just, y'know, find and play and tag the music you want)
Apple and Google each make tens of billions annually from their portion of sales, they’re not going to lightly jeopardize that.

In contrast, Twitter sees third-party developers as a cost.
Ugh, that dives me crazy - but it's not an Apple Music issue. It's a MBP issue.
Your Italian friend is wrong.
Sure, but that’s not what the page says. The Wikipedia article says that. The page says “it/she”. From what I’m familiar with, the order is usually “singular/plural” and when multiple are preferred I’m used to seeing it written as you notated it here as pairs in a list e.g. she/her, him/his, they/them, it/its, xe/xim, etc, in a list. I guess I can infer that’s the intention, however, which is fair enough.

But that really didn’t have much to do with what I was discussing. That was a separate argument about how we use “it” to refer to objects as a rule. Humans are objects, but we also generally prefer to think of them as objects of a higher order variety. In conversation, we take advantage of this to parse and interpret context more quickly. Choosing to do otherwise makes it more difficult to know if the “it” I just used in this sentence is Maia, some other object, or an abstract point I’m making in this discussion. Anyway, that’s why I prefer she/her.

From the time Intel released their 8008 microprocessor to the launch of the 80x86 series that ushered in the PC revolution, we have seen practical uses of computers. A natural progression of that chip revolution is what we are seeing as the ubiquitous presence of powerful chips (1000x or more powerful than the early microprocessors) in devices like phones, televisions, tablets, laptops etc.,

We made progress from the two qubit Quantum computer in 1998 to 54 qubit computer in 2019 to 127 qubit computer from IBM in 2021 to the 433 qubit IBM osprey announced here.

Where are the practical applications in Quantum Computing when we are seeing a similar kind of scale breakthrough playing out over the last 25 years?

> and CEO going to jail…

So, a CEO runs a company which uses another company to host their servers which uses an operating system built by another company, and runs on hardware built by yet another company and has a processor built by another company yet again.

Every one of those is a potential security hole. Now who do you want to send to jail again?

I get it, it’s frustrating. But the reason we haven’t solved this problem is because it’s both complicated and complex.

I don't know the details about the showing of that movie, but America's mass car ownership certainly came up in the comparisons of life in the USSR and in America. In one discussion with my classmates (in Moscow, USSR, ca. mid-1980s) I mentioned that in the suburb of New York in which my relatives lived, most of the high school students in the upper grades drove their cars to school and parked near it. "Come on", someone said, "I am with you when you tell us not to believe our propaganda, but you shouldn't believe theirs, either. Who is going to give a car to some kid, unless he is the son of a senator or something?"

Oh, and some years later, a friend of mine in America was asked by a family in the USSR (which would not be the USSR much longer) to bring some package or item to their relatives, who lived in some other suburb of NYC. My friend asked for the address. "Don't remember right now, but you'll be able to find them: they have two cars!"
Investing 101: how to start building your wealth
I personally think that the ultimate end game for pronouns in English will be creations of new ones with no connotations (so easy to apply like names) that get incorporated into the language or more likely an eventual move to a single pronoun that applies to everyone. Chinese, for example, only differentiates in written form so would be an easy adjustment. They is every high schoolers preferred choice in essays before English teachers complain.

I'm not sure how the under 20 is adjusting but in my groups of mid 20 to late 30 nobody is trying to disrespect anyone by not using preferred pronouns, but it just slips out from decades of usage, and people just end up replacing pronouns with the person's actual name after multiple times apologizing. The having to remember multiple names when meeting someone just doesn't seem tenable long term.
