A legitimate result from this lawsuit would be to simply force internet companies to be more responsive. The family in question did everything they could to alert Google to the extreme content, and were completely ignored. I think anyone who has had their user ID mistakenly flagged, or app removed, or content stolen can relate to the unresponsiveness of internet companies to legitimate user complaints. It's what is driving the sense of arrogance people get from these companies, who act as though they are untouchable.

There needs to be some accountability. The "slippery slope" or "chilling effect" arguments are valid, but the scale has tipped too far so that individuals being harmed by these companies have little to no recourse.

These companies make billions of dollars in profit and much of that is because they underfund customer support, or simply ignore it all together. It's like any consumer product safety issue. It's expensive, but should be a required cost of doing business, like product recalls or EPA pollution regulations.
I imagine that a lot of people would retroactively pay $100 (i.e. future-you would be able to easily convince past-you that paying $100 is worth it).

I wonder what mechanisms exist for capitalizing on that retroactive price. You can obviously make the up-front price higher, but this obviously erects a barrier to people experiencing the retroactive value.

Some other ones that come to mind: paid DLC, "remastered" versions released N years later (Skyrim has famously done this. I think I've paid for 3 or 4 $60 versions of Skyrim at this point), and open "tip" jars / patreon style support. Any other ideas?
He's such a bad CEO that I can't believe he's still in the seat. Just the way he let the employees revolt and embarrass him. If he had any dignity or pride he would have resigned then. He may know all the facts on how businesses should be run and is a good guy, but he has 0 leadership skills. Just an awful, terrible leader. The ChatGPT fiasco is further evidence the place has been mismanaged the last 8 years.
I remember when DCMA passed, and everyone assumed that "safe harbor" meant that if a provider moderated or policed the content, then that service would be liable. If they just allowed things to pass through, not unlike the phone company, then the company could claim safe harbor. The law was designed to shield ISPs and online services from liability for what their users did with the service, not to enable content filtering and moderation... and in many ways it is the opposite of the intent of congress, which was just trying to make it so you wouldn't be sued into oblivion because a user of your service did something bad.

Even if India's per capita GDP has largely caught up, there'd still be a substantial underclass of young workers who are likely to be attracted by higher incomes they could get in China, given the differences in income distribution. And migrants nearly always sacrifice a certain amount of democratic franchise just by virtue of not living in a country where they have citizenship - it doesn't seem to be a great deterrent, compared to other cultural/language barriers and having to live far from family etc.
Huh, didn’t we do it to ethnic Japanese within living memory regardless of citizenship?
Insulin being a protein (which all look ~similar spectroscopically), it is not possible to measure in a no-prick format as you need physical access to it for separation/measurement (e.g. via antibody-like molecule or activity assay)
Doesn't that ipfs.io URL contain an IPFS content address? And the JSON blob at that address also contains another IPFS content address of the actual image file? It's obviously true that the ipfs.io web server and/or domain could be taken down by the authorities, but it would be more difficult to take down all the peers hosting that IPFS content (assuming there was enough interest in these NFTs to have a decent number of independent parties hosting the content on IPFS).

So I'm not sure if the "depends on external infrastructure" criticism really holds. It does require some participation in the IPFS peer-to-peer network, at least for you to download the content the first time, but that's also trivially true of the blockchain itself.

Bingo.

Noninvasive, with any sort of accuracy that can be used for anything, is most likely impossible.

So back to "invasive"... what can we do... embedding a device under your skin, right around where your watch goes, that can be powered and communicate with the watch. While also making sure the device is not rejected by the body and stays in place.. AND has no other adverse side-effects. I think this is where it'll ultimately end up for the people who want it. sub 10 min procedure to put it in and should last for quite some time (maybe dissolves after 5 years for upgrades?)
>The most recent, the oldest

Do you not recognize how lousy of a video sharing website this would be? Spammers are going to be constantly uploading marketing and other low-quality content with irrelevant keywords, while users that actually put work into making good quality videos will see their results pushed to the bottom quickly. How will you deal with that without implementing a system that can identify and recommend non-spam videos? Even the oldest versions of Youtube were boosting videos that got lots of likes.

>the closest match

How is deciding the "closest match" not considered a recommendation? They all have the user's keyword, what other criteria will you use?
Hey, my professor is quoted! Unfortunately I took his class before I took the requisite math class and had a very bad time, leading to me switching to CS from Particle Physics.
Google is still a company where (especially for projects like this) the work is done by engineers volunteering time outside of their core job description.

It may be as simple as "Morale dropped too low for the folks there to feel like it was worth it to continue," or "They let go of the people who were volunteering their 20% time to make this happen."
Its depressing that this is still news. Sigh.
perhaps anecdotal but gh's newer features have actually noticeably increased my productivity. i don't particularly enjoy slack, so i have all but mentioned notifs off - i maintain several of our open source libraries and we've created a project on gh to track issues across all of these repos:

- the kanban board is alright, but i just like having everything in one place. ideally, i'll never have to log into atlassian anything, ever again.

- having the mobile app means i can also turn my desktop notifications off and use the 'focus' mode (with github being able to notify me).

- discussions have recently been revisited and they made a lot of improvements. the next team from vercel is extremely responsive on there and i think many open source projects could move from mailing lists to something like that. it's not for everyone, but worth considering.

- wiki's are relatively useless, in my experience.

aside from my own experience, i also support many open source wizards through github sponsors. it's pretty much plug and play, so there's that too.

politics aside, there is a lot wrong with gh - but i'm also strongly convinced that post-acquisition, things could have been much, much worse. i'll continue to support projects and maintainers based on the merit of their projects. whether they choose to use sourcehut, gitlab, or github, i think it's safe to say that creating software and distributing it has never been easier.

Super interesting project! I'm working on a related/similar project that I'm curious about the technical aspect. Would you mind sharing how are you simulating the reconstructed screen? Do you construct the DOM, together with the CSSOM, on every browser events, and send the result to the backend for replaying?

And do you monkey patch the fetch API to intercept request? Apology for not looking thorough enough on github!

How would you compare yourself with tool like openreplay? Disclaimer, I am not related to them.

An HN comment is not completed without a unsolicited feature request: a demo site, maybe using highlight.io itself, and let user replay their interaction.

This person misunderstands how prices are set.

When there is a shortage of something, buyers will start offering more money to get that limited supply, which means that those who have the supply will make more per unit than before.

The thing to understand is that at some level, almost all prices are set by an auction. And this is especially true for commodities.

Edit: have been looking around, and the few numbers I’ve found show that Cal Maine has about a 20% share of the US egg market. So not a hugely competitive market but certainly not a monopoly.

> They didn't post/create the content

They just incentivized it. Your argument is akin to "Yes your honor, I paid the assassin, but I didn't murder that man. The assassin did!"

> Why do they deserve blame?

Because the algorithms aren't neutral.

If Facebook let you follow who you wanted and showed only that content in chronological order, you'd have a leg to stand on. But they are tampering with the flow of information in ways that increase engagement artificially using psychological manipulation.

It's fine if you're content to let them hide behind their algorithms, but you're wrong both in a moral sense and likely soon in a legal sense.

What you want is a curved ultrawide monitor like the Samsung Odyssey G9. I have one of them (49"). The curve is critical, because it allows the entire surface of the monitor to be basically the same distance from your eyes... meaning you can just glance to the side to use that app you placed in the corner. I have good vision but even for me a non-curved 49" ultrawide is unpleasant to use because the edges and corners are so far from your eyes. The 49" size is also large enough that it almost completely fills your field of view when seated normally.

A 75" TV is going to cost you a lot of money for a very ineffective display. It's so large that you'll probably have to physically move several feet to see the edges, meaning that realistically only about half the screen is usable.
Besides, the "depends on external infrastructure" argument is just as true of the underlying blockchain itself. You need a peer to share the blockchain data with you too.
I have long since switched to Kagi and I am a happy paying customer.

I can adjust my results, block or prioritize, but I rarely do that.

What I sometimes do however is I write a bug report whenever bad results sneak in. In a matter of hours a human looks at the results, verifies or ask follow up questions and in a few days or max < 1month a fix is out.

No more having to deal with a search engine that ignores both doublequotes and the verbatim operator (that is both Google and DDG and Bing).

Actually, the last few months before I got access to Kagi I used (and paid for) search.marginalia.nu . It was actually and honestly better for certain queries, especially things like arcane git knowledge or (I think) the nerdier parts of history.
Are ideas in your mind real enough?
I suspect, that you are right. Anywhere in Europe a helicopter will be with you in less than an hour, cell phone reception is pretty common in the mountains, everybody is looking after „newcomers“. Even finding a 50 mile hike would be a challenge.

In America, like you said, far more danger await the unsuspecting and distances are generally far greater.

Correlation comes much much earlier in understanding effects, especially complex large scale long term ones like this. If we always wait for concrete undeniable proof, we will never avoid harmful choices, but only understand them after the fact.

And correlations are not orthogonal to causations. They can be spurious, but often they are not. Categorically dismissing correlations is as naive as categorically accepting them. The distinction you're making is more a type I error vs type II error. Which is a valid orientation but doesn't put you on the higher intellectual plane the tone of your comment is trying to claim.
Mail servers have a bunch of tooling for routing, retries, queue management etc. that already exists. If you do that via HTTP you end up having to reinvent a full message broker stack just for the sake of using a different protocol that lacks the abundance of components you can just drop in to do things like reflection (mailing lists), forwarding, filtering, retrieval, deletion, access control that you get for free with a mail server.

Maybe if we that entire ecosystem existed on top of HTTP it'd have been ok, but the actual transport is the tiniest little uninteresting sliver of what we got by using a mail server for queuing.

With respect to the DNS servers, the service discovery was for addressing, so we/a client component could e.g. e-mail "update@dns.live.local" or similar. The SMTP updated one was not the service discovery one, but feeding our customer facing DNS infrastructure.

That's great! The first thing I would recommend is to try to build something in it, so that you get a feeling for how it works. If you can even create tutorials or examples for others, that would be a huge help for us! There are also issues labeled "good first issue" on the repository.

Depending on how much precision you'd like for your answer, Monte Carlo methods can converge unbearably slowly, since the standard deviation is proportional to 1/sqrt(N) as you add more samples. I recall once having to run 100 billion simulations to get the mean of a certain quantity to within a few decimal places. I'd take an infinite series over that ant day of the week (well, as long as it's not something as slow as the Leibniz series for pi/4).

Of course, such precision relative to the standard deviation is rarely necessary for most practical situations.
I've personally tried building the software I need for source before, but getting all the BLAS/LAPACK and MPI libraries with it has been annoying and time consuming. Your supercomputer cluster may offer pre-built optimized binaries for your CPU. For mine, I've been using prebuilt software offered by compute canada over CVMFS[1]. I assume something similar is available for wherever you get your supercomputing resources from.

Another interesting thing to observe is whether the premium for being attractive has increased in general because of the "shrinking of the world" effect via internet (i.e. attractive people have more opportunities now to be models, to work in branding, start an onlyfans and make money). Basically - whether it's easier now to "monetize" your good looks.

If that is the case, attractiveness has actually become a better proxy for social status/success than it used to be. I don't have data to back this up - intuitively it makes sense to me, but I hope someone out there is studying the effect.

It's amazing how easy it is to do this stuff with conventional programming languages.

I wrote a program that built AWS Marketplace images that involved installing a lot of software on a VM, setting up all sorts of resources, building a database for two hours, snapshotting it, etc.

This was just a java program that wrote a bash script that did all the work on the remove machine which notified the java program via SQS which then make the image.

Since I took the path less taken I got it done quick and if I had to migrate to Azure... easy.

If I did it the way most people do it I'd build some Rube Goldberg machine with IaaS that works sometimes and think it was normal.

It is difficult to square that statement with "pro-life from conception" as mentioned earlier. On the one hand you recognize the need for nuance, and in the other case not.
Yup we can definitely help with this. It was one of the pain points that inspired Depot as we found that QEMU was just to slow inside of things like GitHub Actions where we wanted to build both for both architectures for local development and production.

Stock price is only very loosely related to short term profits. Stock price reflects people's expectation of what people would be willing to pay for those stocks at some future point in time. If a company has done something to fundamentally make itself more profitable, like getting rid of some inefficiency or adding some capability, that could be a good sign it will be more valuable in the future. However a brief surge in profits from a rare event that can not be readily replicated gives no indication that the stock is a good investment.
And even more depressing that it probably won't change anyone's mind.
Was he really unlucky as a president? I always had the impression that he stuck to his convictions and as a result a second term wasn't politically tenable. That seems admirable and how our system should work. We want people to get into office with an agenda, achieve it, probably with some compromise, then get out of the way for the next person. Carter did a lot of good in a single term and continued to do so for the remainder of his life.

You're right. The profit mechanism should be abolished/replaced. But in the meantime Facebook is still morally culpible for their shenanigans, even if market forces agree with them.

I don't think you are wrong, but I do find it funny how the threat models get built so differently.

My personal feel is I'm ok not having my key with me when I'm "out and about." Is no different than my not having some of my ID cards with me. Such that, I'm already "locked out" of many of my financial accounts and such when I am not at home. But, I fully ack that that is a personal choice here. I just can't think of any situation I've been in, in a LONG time, where I was needing to randomly use a computer.

Edit: It also occurs to me that keeping keys to get back into your home is almost certainly similar in concern here. As somewhat crazy as I think the "keychain" nature of these tokens is, it does address a large part of this problem.
Other commenters made other comments, but I also want to note that this article is terrible for another reason. For the first problem, they computed mathematically all the way up to calculating the recursive expression they got. After that they moved to computing the value with Python. The reason this is bad is because writing the Python code to calculate ~8.3564 was easy in the first place. They made basic mathematical analysis that wasn't even necessary, then moved to code to actually solve the problem. To be instructional, they could compute 8.333 solution mathematically (as e.g. dgacmu or vecter in this thread did) and then later move to Python for an alternative solution. This is not only confusing but also incomplete for both approaches.

> appoint an inflation hawk to the Fed

Carter didn't create the inflation crisis (hint it was Nixon who did), so yes having to appoint Volcker was due to a bit of being president during a unluckly economic time.
A good app where you can schedule appointments sometimes within the same day or often a day or two, a dedication to on-time appointments in the office (I've yet to wait for than a minute or two beyond my appointment time in 5+ years of membership, across different providers), and fast turnaround of lab tests that they run often in-house.

I couldn't possibly go back to the old way of waiting weeks for an appointment and waiting god knows how long once I get there.
