> Apple, who shares more user data with the CCP than most American tech companies

Whether intentionally or not, your comment is very misleading due to omitting the fact that it only applies to chinese customers of Apple in China (which the linked article mentions in the very beginning). Apple doesn't share user data of people outside of China with the CCP.

Also, this is literally a legal requirement to be able to operate there, it isn't like Apple just decided to do it on their own. And Apple's actions regarding this weren't really a secret either.

Disclaimer: not an Apple employee and have no connection to them outside of being a customer.

My first exposure to "gayness" as a thing was La Cage aux Folles. I'm curious if they are required to audition women now to play gay men? It seems like that would just confuse the issue and dilute the drama. What about Philidelphia? Do we want a woman to play a gay man who is dying of aids in the 80's. I'm a senior citizen and find this all to very confusing, so I usually don't say anything, because it truely doesn't make sense to me.

The standard TeX algorithm doesn't penalize the length of the last line, so doesn't solve this. The implementation in Android, based on Minikin[1], applies some penalty to the last line by default, as it's especially unpleasant on mobile. It also has a "balanced" setting[2] which applies the full penalty, as that's often more aesthetically pleasing in UI contexts, though it would not be a good choice for a running text, as it would result in paragraphs of uneven width.

The article mentions two people who did/attempted that, one in France where they had to read a letter of objection from Beckett's estate and another in 2019 that was cancelled due to a lawsuit threat. The fact that Beckett's estate is so willing to sue over this is what makes this story unusual, the director of the play seemed perfectly willing to cast non-males in the play if he had the flexibility to do so.
If they had auditioned women, the play could've gone on. If, of course, nobody objected to none of those women being cast.
I find the the dating app world fascinating, it's trying to replicate something you can only find out in person through not actually being in person. I think there's tons of opportunity here for building real connection.

I wouldn't say I'm working on a dating app but in my free time I host singles and social events for people to connect and have fun! As part of this I'm working on some apps that largely function as a reverse dating app. Meet in person but follow up online without the risk of giving away your personal information. We'll see where it goes, but its been fun so far!

> almost every game on Steam has a quick accessible rating that lets me know if it works fine on Linux

Sure, it's more convenient that Valve runs Steam and can put the rating right there. But let's give WineHQ a bit of credit here. They have a database going back more than a decade now, telling you how games run on Linux.

The effects of Valve getting into Linux gaming are definitely noticeable. But the Wine team deserves a boatload of praise too. I was playing World of Warcraft back in 2007 and it was a flawless experience.

> rush to get games ported to Linux actually is happening

I'm not really sure about this. By having Proton/Wine at such a high quality, most devs are just going to target Windows. Because why bother? They will probably ensure their games run good under Wine and that's where it ends. Nowadays I'm totally okay with that. Lutris is great, Wine is actually easy to use. It's the best time to be a Linux gamer.
I think it's somewhat silly to fly blind on the assumption that your taste is better than any real world observations you can make.

"Technically", perhaps. "Easy", no! It appears the DOM is inherently too flawed to serve GUI's well, and fixing it would likely break backward compatibility. Forcing DOM to do GUI's is possible, but turns even women bald.
Nope, your comparison is just not equivalent. A sale is a transfer of property. We enforce the implicit contract that goes along with that. The buyer will pay, the seller will deliver, the product is accurate, etc. This discussion is about speech, for which no such contract exists. If you disagree, then you should have no problem arresting people for showing off a 3 watt bulb they claim to be 5 watts.
I don't really see a point. Bank transfers are free and near-instant now.
What are we to gain from it?
Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face. A lot of social media dynamics are not reasoned arguments, they are the product emotional outbursts which can be manufactured and herded.

The world is not made up of Spock-like rationalists, and although most people are capable of rationality, many social settings are not conducive to it. Look at stampede disasters: every year people die because panic breaks out among a crowd in a constricted space and people start to operate on instinct instead of thought.

Simple answer:

1) Spend money.

2) Get a different provider.

Beyond that, get free help or advice. I guess that's what you're attempting now.

Let's start with spending money. You need to convince somebody that it's worth it. (Know your assets, know your risks, etc.) If it's not worth it or it's killing the company, and they won't do anything about it except to send you out to beg for help: get another job. Seriously.

As for the provider and "DOS": put their balls in a vice. What kind of DOS, exactly? What mitigations do they employ, exactly? Are they visibly seeking advice and assistance? Where's their outage page? I (charitably) assume you're being coy because you don't know... not because you're just being coy. Get the facts; cache la poudre; name and shame them.

Who else is affected? Band together, share notes and intelligence. Openly. Fully. Go read some of the DNS server mailing lists and dns-ops. If you can't swim in those waters, go home. Hide, and hope they go away.

Most of the answers here are akin to poking a dead beached whale: "smells bad!" "look, there's its liver!" "that's the blowhole, that's how it breathes" "looks like a propellor strike": factual, but not gonna help the whale.

I'm baffled by the premise of your question: exactly how does this lead to needing to do "redundancy" correctly? Is the provider not doing it correctly? No evidence is provided to support the assertion.

Reachability and services: there are a lot of tactical measures depending on how services are hosted. Mirroring the domain is a tool in the arsenal, depending on your line of business and communications needs (monitoring a SCADA system for emails to make sure the nuke doesn't melt down is different from some rando wanting to return a party dress).

"multiple nameservers": anycast is a thing.

Ummm... mirroring the domain ("just 'copies'": WTF?) IS maintaining an NS.

I'm not going to assume anything about your TTL. Name the domain. Tell me the TTL. Let me confirm it. ("simply increase the TTL": WTF? I think "simple" is the important word there. None of this is simple.)

You believe your absurd statement is in any an analog to refusing drug screening?

You think the response to security theater, no security it all?

You think that is we do not do a daily drug screen on an employee that has no indication they are on any type of drug or alcohol is the same as "transmitting in cockney rhymes "

That is just absurd
Outside of the handful that was shot down, including the ones that were operated by the ROC in the late 70s, all the major power that has the means of doing this, to probe defenses, be it coastal, or inland AA, or whatever, have done this.

Who says I'm giving China a pass? My point is that it's a balloon that was tracked from Alaska long before it crossed BC into Montana probably had its risk assessment done. It wasn't worth the hassle, and the potential risk of letting them get the telemetry on military hardware, and the cost to shoot one of those balloons; or to reveal the true operating envelope of a fighter and its armaments over a balloon that the US already was comfortable with it flying around from Alaska on.

If it was a serious threat to US national security, it would have been blown up over Alaska, or better yet, tell the Canadians to do it so that the risk isn't borne over American soil.
Down-votes don't bother me, but I agree that it would be nice to know what I said that caused that response. But such is life.

Turing didn't really intend it to be a real test. It was more of a thought experiment. The reason it's a poor test is because it's so subjective. Whether or not a computer can fool a human depends as much on the human as on the computer.

So to answer my question, no you can't provide a source.

Even if it hadn't been the case that the article you linked failed to mention the topic actually under discussion even a single time, a random right wing ("brexiter") blogger is not a "source" for corroborating claims that intersectional egalitarians have a clear "victim heirarchy".

(And to be explicit, identity politics and intersectionality aren't the same thing, despite the right's habit of using them as meaningless scare words)

> It seems like it's not exactly a compliment to Paul Graham to suggest that maybe he is just like Kenny G […]

Pardon the allegory, but that’s a shadow on the cave wall.

> …predictable result of a bloom of rhetorical hyphae about how actually Kenny G is probably good…

That isn’t present in the conversation; I think you may have misread one of the comments.

If you’re going to say that it’s good or bad to imitate Paul Graham’s style, then by all means, do so, but it would serve you well to provide some kind of reasoning or rationale for the advice. (To be clear, general “you” here, not you, specifically.) You can equally advise saxophonists to try sounding like Kenny G or avoid sounding like Kenny G, again, without any reasoning or rationale for it, but I think we can do better.

There’s something kind of banal about this taste-making in the first place. It’s much easier to find reasons to say that something is bad. It gives you a much more defensible position, which is why people find it easy to hate Kenny G. Saying you like something would expose you too much to criticism.

For whatever reason, some people decided that it’s cool to hate Kenny G, and nowadays you see people dropping Kenny G’s name into the conversation as an example of something you want to hate, by people who have no particular reason to hate Kenny G. Whether Kenny G is actually good or bad was never relevant, because the only relevant fact is that it’s cool to think that Kenny G is bad.

While I don't doubt that social media can drive some of these mental health issues, I think most teenagers are simply stressed from the constant work that's necessary for the college admissions process.

I'm 24, so I would have been a teenager in 2012, but I didn't have a smartphone until I was 16 or so. My high school experience consisted almost entirely of school, studying, and running (my primary extracurricular). Most of the little extra time I had remaining would go to additional extracurricular activities that had the potential to enhance my college application. I only really got to socialize by talking to my teammates on our runs.

As a result, even when I had extra time I was so burnt out and stressed from everything else that I felt consumed by anxiety. I would sometimes start crying spontaneously after I got home in the evenings. Things only started getting better when I started seeing a therapist and worked on my issues over the second half of my high school experience. Not everyone is so lucky.

If we want a healthier society, we need to take a step back and give teenagers a chance to actually live life. Sure, less social media would help, but it won't solve the root of the problem. Today's society demands so much from adolescents for so little in return. It's very easy to think that you're a failure if you don't know exactly who you are and what you want to be at age 17, and that's not a fair expectation for any 17 year old. We shouldn't be surprised that many break under this kind of pressure.

Yes. I did maintenance at apartments for college students (which is probably a factor), and plunging their toilets was a regular occurrence. We kept a plunger on the golf cart for this reason, they often didn't own one.

One side note since you mentioned Drano: it made things more difficult for me because they'd use it on more than just clogged toilets: clogged sinks and bathtub drains, which are caused by hair. Using Drano when it's already backed up just dilutes the Drano, rendering it next to useless. I'd have to go fetch gloves and then rigorously clean the acid off my needlenose pliers after removing the hairball.

The legal concept regarding freedom of speech as in the First Amendment only applies to governments, yes.

But the moral ideal of freedom of speech is for everyone, and individuals and organizations can support and espouse it or censor and suppress it.

We need a concept to distinguish these, like "free as in legal" versus "free as in voice".

As for the argument that freedom of speech doesn't apply to misinformation or danger or obscenity or whatever -- that just creates an arms race to declare everything you don't like as misinformation or dangerous or obscenity. You combat such things in the open market of ideas and exchange, not by censorship. That's just might-makes-right.
Maybe they did using Google.
You know, whatever the merits (and it sounds as if there were very few) of Google's presentation (or Pinchai's recent non-statement) might be, I would have expected the commentariat here at HN to display way more skepticism about language models as a replacement for search. If there's a crowd anywhere in the world large enough to leave 200+ comments on a post like this, you'd think thatg the one at HN would understand these models' currently unsolved problem with lying and fabulation.

And yet when I read the comments, I see this sort of calm acceptance that of course this technology is going to take over search. Why is everyone so confident? The performance of these models is simultaneously jaw-dropping and absurd. With no proposed solutions to the problems that they fundamentally face, why this level of belief that their ascendance is inevitable?

Ironically Google's search engine was fine up until 2015 or so, when they started to prioritize AI in their search algos. Now, of course, it's a sea of useless SEO spam. It's hard to say if their priorities are wrong, or if they're just losing the arms race against spam. Still, I would pay good money for a search engine as functional as Google in say, 2010.
This is not an accurate reading of the Conclusion section. He just sums up what has been observed and does not mention any causal factors. Earlier, he explicitly says that causal factos will be covered by other posts.

2012 was a major shift in culture. Major hacks, social media, phone culture, the beginning of the 'scandals', globalisation was on full tilt, people had never really moved along from occupy movement, and this was when corporations decided to just feign support to avoid getting targetted. I think this was the wokening across the culture which came hand in hand with mental health crisis.

It's an average- presumably they don't smear files across disks byte by byte, since that would be insane. But with drives randomly breaking, at some point every copy of at least one file will go at once. With, say, a terabyte of files over a thousand years, you'd expect to lose a total number of files equal to 100Kb. So probably not even one, with some small chance of losing half a drive.
