Yes, unfriended in real life.

Your examples are so many degrees removed that I do not think they are apposite. For example, people who supported Trump did so with full knowledge of his attitude towards immigrants, asylum seekers, etc., his rhetoric about building the wall (which many of his supporters cited specifically as their reason for supporting him), his "birtherism" re Obama, etc. Thus, they can much more strongly be said to affirmatively support those things than, for example, an American taxpayer whose money goes to help the Israeli government bulldoze Palestinian homes, or do any of a number of other foreign policy things that qualify as "evil shit".

Implementing Public/Private key encryption for authenticating your API
Hi all! we wrote this post a couple weeks ago. The TL;DR is that we recently built an API Key authorization flow that can integrate into any API provider's Gateway and makes it trivially easy for them to provide their users self-service API key management: https://speakeasyapi.dev/docs/product-reference/speakeasy-pl...

To get that working we first evaluated every commonly-used auth method before deciding on a fairly unique approach, Signed Tokens as API Keys, but with 1 Signing Key Per API key.

Happy to answer any questions people have about this novel approach, or anything API auth related. If anyone wants to try out the tool here's the sign up for the waitlist: https://speakeasyapi.dev/request-access/

I don't understand why Airbnb is still on the side of hosts with this.

Because all platforms face the temptation to become plantations. And while consumers have cash, hosts have assets and are much more likely to leverage them in the event of a dispute. The consumer goes in expecting a deal for $X, when all the fees are added on consumers feel bad, but don't want to lose the time cost they have already sunk into browsing and choosing a short-term rental property, figuring that other offerings on the platform will probably be the same. Really starting over means going to a whole new website and a whole new selection process and a whole new set of terms and conditions, and there will probably be junk fees tacked on at the end anyway.
Hey, this is awesome! As someone who primarily codes in Python, I love that it's first class with a REPL! Nothing frustrates me more then when I have to figure out Javascript for scripting in Google Sheets.

I ran through your demo and I have some feedback:

- Tab completion in the REPL would be great.

- When I change code in the editor, it doesn't update the cell where that code is used until I click on the cell, click away, and click back.

- When I ran the append function, it worked, but if I look at the array in the cell, it's unchanged. If I click on the cell and hit enter, it wipes out the append. I'm honestly not sure what the right behavior here is, I can see use cases on both sides. But initially I did expect the cell with the array to update with the new array.

- When I tried to do autocomplete on the capitals, it failed silently. I assume the API failed to fetch the capitals? It worked on the second try (but took a while).

- When I add a column into the sheet, it breaks all the code that has cell references. I'd expect the code with cell references to get updated unless my references are $F$4 for example, just like in the sheet itself.

Overall though this is a great start!
It would be ironic if Twitter turned into a graveyard for former Googlers, considering how many of them have been shut out from ever working at Google again/being rehired by the company end of their respective non-compete periods.

I’ve had this in Barcelona even when booking a hotel directly through its website.

It was advertised up-front but unsure if there was any reason they couldn’t roll it up into the fee. Maybe it is a separate city-issued POS?

Or maybe a tax thing: if the hotel collected it, they’d have to charge VAT, but not if the booker pays it direct?

There's quite a few independent UK journalists who are refugees from editors that started spiking their stories. Jonathan Cook and John Pilger both had to leave The Guardian.
Is anyone else concerned that this sentiment may ultimately lead to unshakable seeds of doubt in the general populace? That would be a real thread to our democratic institutions. We see this with all the attacks on voters, voting, and election results.

News, while not a direct wing of the government (usually), is an important core to the social and political well being of a nation, yet in the US it seems there is no counter balance to this trend.

I can't even say I blame people either, its not just "right wing nut jobs" or "out of touch leftists" that feel news organizations are untrustworthy or mislead the public. Its starting to become more common among moderate to slightly left leaning political normals. IE, the average population (in aggregate).

That should really bother people more I feel like. This is a pretty serious problem in the modern age and there's no good answer on how to move forward to get real trust back. Having a government sponsored non partisan news source will immediately get rejected by pretty significant portion of the US citizenry, and private corporations and non profit foundations have their own issues, namely around how they get funded.

Seems there is honestly scant little we can do here, I honestly don't see how you roll this back

It looks to me like AirBnb has an equalizer effect on property rentals - I looked at prices at some remote places in Argentina before a trip to Andes and they were pretty much similar to US prices. There is a little benefit in using it now whereas 10 years ago when I did my first trip around the world AirBnb actually allowed me to visit many places without killing my budget, but it wouldn't be possible these days.

You saw that Trump was explicitly trying to print cash like crazy, right?

Even without the ability to directly fire folks and nominal ‘independence’ that definitely delayed rate hikes and made inflation much worse.

If politicians had direct control, the whole countries economy would be whipsawed by whatever directly benefited the current office holder.

As-is, it’s indirectly the case, hah.
SASS parses along those exact nesting rules, so clearly it's possible for the browser to do it as well. Just a question of performance hit at runtime.

In the end having the runtime be fast is likely more important than perfect syntax (as we can still pre-compile via better syntax), but the actual numbers and real world use cases matter a lot.

Are these worst case performance scenarios actually realistic or common? I didn't see anybody speaking to that, but also haven't followed this issue in years. I have seen on a lot of the web standards discussions that many of the contributors will pose theoretical worst case situations as something that should meaningfully impact design of a feature, when those worst case scenarios are extremely rare and unrealistic in practice.
The article does not say anything about Oakland negotiating. They may just be in the "it takes some time" phase at the moment. Tapes are not exactly the fastest medium.

Plus, you may want to determine the exact time at which you were compromised, or else you'll be restoring potentially tainted backups. Depending on how well you're organized that alone will take quite some time, especially considering that your logs may be encrypted as well. Sometimes you don't even know how to contact everyone, because your comms are down, too.

Sure, if you do everything right and adhere to all the best practices, it won't be that big of an issue. Just don't forget about the amount of legacy crap and budget constraints many orgs have to deal with. That comes with many pitfalls and a lot of opportunities to make a mistake.
That article is linked a few times in these comments, but I think it should be noted that that article is written by a competitor. Airgradient is a commercial company that sells air quality sensors. And it seems to be the only source that states the Ikea sensor is imprecise, so I wouldn't call it "notoriously imprecise"

> Hosts want to show lower prices, so in search you don't see all the fees, but then when you get all the way down the funnel you finally see these completely ridiculous fees (usually around cleaning) of what you'll actual pay.

This is 100% true. Hosts figured this out pretty fast and leaned into it. The biggest reason is that showing a cheap price on the initial search result page was very effective at getting bookings. I suspect this is even more effective in this case vs some others because rentals are not easily comparable. ie, travelers invest non-trivial time into researching a place (looking at pictures, location, description, etc) to decide that it works for them before they notice the higher price - and then don't want to throw away that "sunk cost" of their time.

>I don't understand why Airbnb is still on the side of hosts with this.

Everything I said up there also works at the level of Google search results. If just one vendor (ABnB, Vrbo, etc) switches to up-front pricing, then all their competitors look _much_ cheaper at first glance. And once the traveler is on their site, it's unlikely that they'll back out and go to a different one. The whole industry is basically in a "Mexican standoff" situation. Or maybe Prisoner's Dilemma if you prefer.

Also, the platforms are perfectly capable of doing all-in-one pricing, because they legally have to everywhere other than the US. There's loooots of extra logic to handle doing it two different ways. At some level they'd love to get rid of that complexity, but just can't for reasons mentioned.

source: worked on pricing at Vrbo for eight years.
Is this recession going to be like the commercial production of fusion energy? Always around the corner despite nothing indicating we are anywhere near a recession.

Keep in mind it's hard to have a recession when unemployment is in the 3s, and there is still high demand for products and services across the economy. But I guess if we really want to have a recession we can.
> In worst case complexity of styles resolution is O(nS*nD) where nS is a number of style rules and nD is a number of DOM elements. That's for current flat style table used by CSS. You can optimize bits and cases but it in general problem is like that.

Worst-case isn't really interesting for browsers, though. CSS doesn't have an adversarial performance model.

> @media and @set are different mechanisms. :root in @set matches element that has this set applied. @set's are scoped set of rules. @media are not.

Again, this roughly matches @scope (where :scope matches the element that has the given selector applied). But this is just a fantasy spec, right? There are no browsers that implement this, and just like with @scope or nesting or CSS at all, there's no guarantee in the spec what performance characteristics you would have?

FWIW, if you want something like this and get it through CSSWG, you'll most likely see it end up with worse performance than flat CSS, unless it becomes _really_ popular and browsers see the need to optimize certain sub-cases of it (the general case, with tons of different sets, will be nearly impossible to make really fast).
I watched an interesting presentation on YouTube about how fructose is digested in the body, its totally different to glucose, and arguably more harmful becuase the liver can only handle so much, there are various metabolic products which also need to be dealt with... So I do believe this may be very plausible.
Agreed. I would not be where I am in life today without the skills and knowledge I learned from YouTube. I am a huge fan of the way they compensate creators and align their incentives with creators' incentives, and generally just very pleased with the product they provide. I pay for Premium and it's the best monthly subscription I have imo — the sheer quantity of expertly-produced content on YT is unparalleled, and I've discovered so many new hobbies, interests, and people through it.

> 6000 years ago they had dudes (whole tribes, actually!) who practiced ritual trepanation for reasons unknown to us.

I'd thought it was established it was done for medical reasons - people realized that it sometimes helps with conditions nothing else helps with. Arguably most of the things humanity did until the last few hundred years was based on empirical correlations and stores to help remember them (but lacking predictive power). It's only recently that we've developed proper theoretical understanding of most things we do, in form of specific, tested theorems with lots of predictive power.

> This "mapping the human brain" is no different and no more scientific.

It is different because nowadays we do have proper science - and more importantly, we know how proper science looks like. So even if we still know very little, we at least know what can and what cannot be done with that knowledge.

> (...) the science of information and its structure was discovered less than 100 years ago.

> We don't even have a name yet for this science!

Isn't that just "information theory"?

> To use an analogy, we discovered how to make paper airplanes, but that gets us no closer to building a supersonic jetliner.

IMO that would be a good analogy for the clockwork age. Today, we not only know how to make paper airplanes, but more importantly, we can imagine a supersonic jetliner being a thing, we have justified confidence that there's a path from here to being able to build one, and that studying the phenomena behind the flight of a paper airplane are important steps towards building a supersonic jetliner.
Tesla recalls 360k vehicles, says full self-driving beta may cause crashes
I have also encountered this in Spain, and my counter was to refuse the cash extortion after I had arrived and had the keys in hand. They will grumble or threaten you, but they know they can't force you to pay since it violates Airbnb policies. Even local occupancy taxes must be collected via the platform.

If they're extremely sneaky, their next trick is to fake property damage or extra cleaning fees collected post stay, but that's not a highly repeatable trick without them getting banned, so less likely to happen and you can dispute it with Airbnb, though ymmv.
Rewarding to who? And _she_ made it? To me YT continued its successful streak despite of the poor changes with not much to attribute to people actually making the calls.
You only got access to Tesla's "free" patents if you also made all of your patents "free" to Tesla and all other companies using Tesla's patents.

In the early days, YouTube had a 5 star rating system which I think is better than a binary like/dislike. You also could customize your channel more including custom backgrounds.
And as others have mentioned, even if the state does not, sometimes the county does which means inspection standard vary wildly.

High Entropy Titles: A Hacker News Vexation
>write a snappy title using as high entropy language as possible from the following text:

high entropy titles?

there are very few aspects of this orange website that I have an issue with; however, there's one very specific - and subtle - form of clickbait that's incredibly common here: to demonstrate an example, I'll call it "high entropy titling"[1]. this is much less obvious than typical clickbait, as it aims to manipulate a far more discerning audience than average. whether it's a shared strategy people knowingly follow, or simple convergence, I do not know

what is it?

the way it typically appears is as title containing a sentence, phrase or arrangement of words unusual enough that you have to significantly slow down to understand it, but concise and interesting enough that you don't immediately block it out

I'm not going to call out any specific examples, but it's an extremely common style and if you go to the front page at any given moment, you should be able to find at least one example

why is it irritating?
okay, I'll admit, it's not exactly the worst thing ever: it's no f"{famous_x} has done {y} and everyone is saying {z}" or any of the other identikit moronic tabloid headlines, but it's still a trick and clearly inferior to something concise and descriptive. it also smacks of trying to be clever. if you've got a great article, then - hopefully - it should stand on its own without trying to manipulate anyone into reading it

on the other hand?
I would imagine a significant portion of these titles are accidental, which I obviously can't muster any vexation for. but even if it is deliberate, is it such a bad thing? there's nothing inherently wrong with having to think a little harder to understand a headline, but intent matters. if someone sets out to influence my behaviour, then I don't think it's wrong to be suspicious of that

[1] - or if we're being clear with our words, a "deliberately slightly confusing title"

have you ever noticed this? have you ever knowingly - or unknowingly - used this style? if so, is it something you thought of yourself? if not, is it something you heard about or observed? where? perhaps you feel I'm overreacting or misconstruing: why do you think that? happy to hear any opinions

>ChatGPT: "High Entropy Titles: A Vexation"
> Oh, and the amount of hoops you have to jump through to make Gmail NOT use SMS for account recovery is insane.

GMail is as I understand it just your Google account, and so simply telling Google not to use the Phone for account recovery, by deleting that option if present, or not adding it when Google suggests you might want it, ought to be enough. Does that not work ?
I played a little with FFT Gaussian blur. It uses the frequency domain, and so does not have to average hundreds of points, but rather transforms the image and the blur kernel into the frequency domain. There it performs a pointwise multiplication and transforms the image back. It's way faster than the direct convolution.
