Yes.

I'm not from the US so I do not have the inhibition against the 'N-word'. Such a book would be on a shelf with other books of similar vintage, one which represents a certain time in history when that word was in common use. I do not have to agree with the contents of such books or with the titles chosen by their authors just like I do not have to a agree with many books written now and books yet to be written. I also have no problems with having 'Mein Kampf' or Mao's 'Little Red Book' (红宝书) on a shelf even though I do not agree with their contents and do not hold the authors in high regard.

In short, I know the difference between what was and what is. I do not know what will be but I try to do my best to keep it from going in the wrong direction, i.e. I try to keep from making the same mistakes as have been made in the past. One of those mistakes is censorship. I will not tire you with the well-known quotation from Orwell's 1984 about every book having been rewritten since I assume you have read the book.
My main hope for this was that it would be as wide and deep as possible. We can then apply our own Dolby compression filter if we want to, in our listening hardware.

The Sovereignty Game – The Venture Game should not be the only game in town
> The way people (like me) listen to classical music is different from the way they listen to other kinds of music. For example, I might want to listen to Beethoven's String Quartet No. 12. This has four movements, and I want the player to play from movement 1 through movement 4 once I touch the play button. This is very different from wanting to play (say) Price Tag by Jessie J which is one track.

How is this any different from listening to an album or any other logical grouping of tracks with an order?

Are you an Ent? What you mean by "now" may not be what most other sentient beings understand here...

The program lint(1) was written in 1978, and the -W option for gcc appeared in the late eighties. For most of us, "this kind of tooling" has existed since before we were born. And I consider myself a graybeard!
American English traditionally uses an “and” to separate the whole from the fraction, e.g. two thousand eight and two thirds.
Again, you offer nothing but a barrage of lies. Lets take one lie at a time:

> And Putin asking for Russia to get into NATO was rejected.

Never happened. According to Putin's top advisor on foreign policy at the time, Putin asked Lord Robertson for invitation into NATO. Robertson replied that Russia would have to go through the same integration process as everyone else. Putin got offended by that, replied that he was "not going to stand in line with countries that don't matter", and that was the end of it.

It was never a serious goal that Putin and Russia worked towards, as it was in other Eastern European countries that set NATO membership as their main foreign policy goal and began building a relationship with NATO with the ultimate goal of becaoming a full member. NATO membership comes with political, legal and military obligations that Russia never even set out to meet. You don't get a seat at a collective defense organization and access to allied military information just by asking someone nicely at a formal dinner. In Eastern Europe, it took a decade of relentless political and military reforms to get there.

In most of Eastern Europe, consecutive governments all agreed to this goal and there was no domestic indecision to stall the process. In Ukraine, public support was much smaller indeed, some parties were for NATO membership, others were against it, and as a result, without continuous work towards becoming a member, Ukraine did not become one, even though key figures like GWB signaled willingness to support that bid.

In Russia, there was no work towards NATO membership at all. In contrast, Lithuanian parliament adopted a resolution calling for NATO membership as early as December 1993, reiterated the position throughout key foreign policy documents (such as the law on national security, adopted 19th December 1996), joined all sorts of NATO programs and committees, went through a shitload of reforms under NATO guidance and finally achieved full membership in 2004. What did Russia do at the same time? Asked NATO secretary general Lord Robertson a free pass and that's it? That's the whole rejection? Has Russian Duma even once voted NATO membership into their foreign policy doctrine?
True. Most of the issue comes from a "One size fits none" approach.

When companies just treat push notifications as a way to blast ads to users, it all goes awry.

If companies treat push notifications (and other messaging) as a feature of the product, the whole product experience improves.

Nobody complains when their alarm screen pops up or their timer goes off...because we want those things and it necessitates a "pop up" of sorts.

Similarly, people appreciate when a learning app pops up with a helpful tip relevant to what we're trying to learn or a meditation app pops up with a reminder to take a second to yourself and breathe correctly.

It's seldom the vehicle that's the issue. They're just methods.

It's all about how they're used.
Thanks.

I've chosen to think of art in terms of products I consume, and less as admiration of artists, though of course I do some of the latter too.
Show HN: Expressive Animator – Motion graphics and 2D vector animation
The point is that scientists use units appropriate to their domain and community. The general public uses units appropriate for their uses. These usually do not coincide.

There would be advantages (e.g. for standardization, "science literacy") if they used the same units but it would also be impractical for whichever side adjusts to use the other's units. I believe the advantages of such a switch are very small and the downsides small. Neither scientists nor the general public seem to think this is a problem.
Show HN: Django-LLM (manage langchain in Django)
I started working on a ChatGPT powered web app last week and made the prompt and query management reusable.

It is still at an early stage, so no slick views yet. However, you can play around in the django shell.

You can store your API key in the backend, store a prompt in langchain's format, then run queries against the prompt with a function that takes bindings to the prompt's derived variables.

Work right now is focused on compatibility and expanding and stabilizing the API.

I am happy to hear suggestions and what features YOU would like to see.
Sure. Systemd. Flatpak. Freedesktop was created by Red Hat employee. Red Hat has been a driving force in implementing SELinux policies. Wayland was created by a Red Hat employee. I think if you compare Red Hat and Ubuntu, you will see that projects Red Hat pours resources into find wider adoption, while Ubuntu often goes alone.
Agreed that travel insurance is a must. It is not that expensive.

Be aware of the limitations though. For example, you rent a scooter in Vietnam. Well, you're not covered in an accident because you are only covered if you have a license. The only way to get a license is to live in Vietnam and they don't recognize a US IDP.

They also conflated PayPal, Apple Pay and Google pay, so I’m not sure I agree that what they were saying is “most people prefer PayPal”. PayPal has a tremendous market share - not sure I’d agree that it’s really a preference.
Did you not read the headline of the post? We're literally in a thread about half of black high school students in the Bay Area not being able to read at their grade level. Is that anecdote?
Please stop this FUD. I have zero trouble using std::whatever in C++ without diving into their code. Usage is very well though out and user friendly. Higher level libraries do use templates on a different level and are very readable.
As a user who uses paypal a lot, this is exactly why - I don't trust random websites with my credit card number, but I already have decided to trust paypal and given an option to use paypal vs a site's own CC processing, I'll use paypal.

I'd love to be wrong though, since after reading all this I kind of feel bad for the merchants, but otherwise I'll continue to prefer using paypal.

Pester with zero-friction and complete privacy—no tracking cookies, no personal data retention, no user account required.

We hope to gather a large corpus of data to provide business intelligence to companies, hopefully getting them to make the products and services that people actually want.[1]

This little tool also serves as a free, quick-and-dirty (and very simple) way of gathering clean, public feedback from your users, if you're an upcoming startup that doesn't want to invest time and money in a more complex (and probably needlessly bloated) solution.

TECHNICAL NOTES

The upester web app was initially an Angular SPA, but we ported it to Qwik, for the SSG capabilities.

We use Cloudflare's relatively recent Turnstile invisible CAPTCHA technology to block bad robots. (Kudos to the Cloudflare folks for this awesome solution, which they made public).

We use a managed backend (GCP, namely Firebase, Cloud Functions and Cloud Run), which works very well and it reduces dev time to a tiny fraction of what it would have been if we wrote the backend from scratch.

Happy to answer questions about any of these technologies as well, besides any questions you may have about upester, to the best of my ability.

Have a great day, everyone!
Good. US companies should be firing all foreign workforces. Should be illegal to even hire them, IMO.
A Free/No-fee contractors and freelancing platform on Blendgate
Today we introduce Blendgate for Contractors and freelancers, a free/no-fee platform to allow people to connect with business, consulting firms and contracting agencies. We won't charge anything on both the buyers and supplier side, as it feels good to do so.
I had the same concerns about shipping speed, but then I just said fuck it and cancelled my Prime anyways. It turns out that waiting a few more days for items actually isn't a problem for me. It also brings the added benefit that I no longer feel constrained to a single shitty store, and can buy from anywhere on the internet again.

Also, when I do buy from Amazon as a non-Prime member, I find that often (not always) items tend to ship faster than the estimates claim. A few days ago I bought some RAM for my computer, and the estimate said it'd take a week to arrive. Instead, it "shipped early" and arrived in 2 days (on a Sunday). I think they've just optimized their shipping process for Prime so much that for some items it probably is cheaper to ship as fast as they can than to artificially delay shipping orders for non Prime members.
> It's not a problem which is quickly solvable. The amount of top-tier talent can grow exponentially, but low-tier talent can grow just as quickly for many years -- India has over a billion people.

What has grown faster: the number of IIT seats or the number of "technical colleges" and bootcamps?
It works well until it doesn't, I guess.
Have you tried the PWA? I use it in Linux and it's much more performant than the Electron version. You can use extensions too with it, like uBlock Origin, which makes it even faster.

I mean it's still Teams so faster here means still not fast at all, and it still suffers from many other UX problems, but definitely worth trying if you are forced to use some form of Teams.
Oh, ok. I understood something completely different.

Interesting. I don't remember the verbiage around the private right to action. It seems as though it would still be trivial to classify yourself as an ISP with respect to email. If you're running your own infrastructure for mail sending and receipt and that infrastructure is in receipt of the violating emails why wouldn't an individual be allowed to sue?

Seems as though CAN-SPAM has lost its teeth to protect the consumer through precedent if that's not a viable path.

I just hate the amazon empire, so whenever I have no option but to buy something I give an opposite review. If the product is decent, it gets 1 star and a scathing review. If it's shit, I give a glowing 5 star review.
Oddly I've wondered about this too. The entire world somehow respected ISIS's declared name "Islamic State," or IS for short, which is a common word.

They don't. Again, that's explicitly called out in the articles I linked to.

At this point I can only conclude you're posting in bad faith.

Listen to yourself:

Americans are welcome to fight if they want to, but you are seriously misinformed if you believe they have mounted even a small fraction of their firepower, training, analysis, and logistics without the aid of the France and Spain. America never had a remote chance to resist the British army and navy, and they are now paying a terrible price for allowing themselves to become the lackeys of France and Spain.

Do you visit people's homes much, or to schools and universities, or anywhere in China?

Because various vendors have shipped something like ¼-⅓ billion ChromeBooks over the last 3-4 years. That's a lot. That's more than Apple has shipped Macs.

You don't see them in offices much, it's true, but that's because they're in homes and educational institutions.

China has been following an aggressive program to dispense with foreign computers, called 3-5-2:

The plan is that by 2025, everything will be Made In China:

https://cybershack.com.au/opinion/made-in-china-2025-a-polic...

I reckon there is a lot of desktop Linux out there, but we don't see it.

Like it or not, ChromeOS is Linux. (Somewhere way down there, it's Gentoo.)

Unity OS and openKylin are, basically, Ubuntu. Deepin is its own thing but at least until last year it's Debian underneath.

You don't see much of Kylin or UOS or Deepin, but for nearly 20% of the human race, those are the dominant Linux distros.
it is not about them, its about why should there be some entity out there that censors my information and decides what I'm allowed to see and what I'm not allowed to see? why does the government here feel like it must interfere with me, censor and babysit me?
I own Meta stock, but that’s not why I want the ban. I want the ban because they ban our anchor platforms. They do that not because of propaganda like everyone says. They do it for long term economic advantage. The more the world relies on Chinese infrastructure, the more they rule the world. The US wants to keep ruling the world. I’m on the side of the U.S. not because I’m patriotic so much as I live here, and I’m rational.

You’re right, it is an opinion. There is probably no easy way to substantiate the statement “any claims that unions make this process harder is a lie designed by a union busting consulting firm”.

On the other hand, the entire job of a union busting consulting firm is to spread fear, uncertainty, and doubt about unions. The claim that unions would take actions, or fail to take actions, to make it less likely for their members to receive a pay raise, is the kind of claim that a union busting consulting firm would likely make. This is Public Relations 101.
This is like saying that stocking groceries is complicated because some items are perishable, some are frozen, some sell faster than others, they go to different parts of the store. Isn't it just a fundamental part of what the business is meant to do? To have reviews that actually relate to the product?
This could be valid...but with something as powerful as ChatGPT, if it is providing huge benefits for employee productivity, they are unlikely to dump it based off a co-worker's suggestion. Also, unless managing security is within your roles and responsibilities, this approach would likely turn messy from an interpersonal aspect. Lastly, the security issue has already happened, so if this is truly a security concern, the security team should know that (a) something is already out there (b) this could be a widespread problem in the future.

FWIW I don't think the employee should be fired for this or anything, if anything a company could embrace these new technological advances and provide training on using ChatGPT in a more secure manner(ie don't paste your customer's PII into a prompt, etc...).
>than having to buy oil from some of worst regimes on the planet

The current state of mineral and resource extraction and processing for EVs has a way to go before this argument holds water.
Avoid changing name? If you had a bad name you would have changed it before you got a lot of positive reviews.
How can you see it as anything but targeted attacks? You don't just roll out a change like this and forget to negotiate with the union. Adding a tip line is something unions are very familiar with and would not object to. SB wanted it this way.

>As a layperson that "not relying on tips" is a goal [...] So it's weird that they now want those too.

The goal is to benefit the worker. Tips are culturally embedded and a significant amount of money. It's weird to think the union wouldn't want that for their members. Would guaranteed higher pay be better? Yes. Is that an actual either/or option? No.

>Totally get why the union doesn't like it but it's kinda one sided. You are either married or you okay the field.

What does this even mean? What are the arbitrary rules you think should apply? Being in a union shouldn't mean its OK to be screwed with by SB management at every opportunity.

Even if the administration believes that they will ultimately speed up these projects, some of the extra rules are pretty clearly social policy:

- Boosting applicants that commit to "environmental justice"

- Encouraging hiring of economically disadvantaged individuals

Having been scammed once out of a similar amount, yeah of course I'm not going bother. I've got better things to do with my life. Now there are many times when companies did try similar scams and it was resolved with a 15 minute phone call. But there is no way I'd spend days of my life over it. Almost all scams like this are resolved by opening a dispute with my credit card processor. That's it. I get the money back and never hear anything back.
Altman's had huge success, but that comparison to Gates aged like milk. Gates is one of America's great industrialists, founding and growing a company into becoming one of the most valuable in the world.

Loopt mostly failed, and Altman's other founded company is WorldCoin, which also has basically failed. Altman's talent has been as an operator within the YCombinator rocketship. He hasn't shown he can build technology or great companies.
I’ve never worked a service job where the manager treated it as their responsibility to cover a shift.

If an employee is sick and can’t find someone to cover, it is typically considered a missed shift on their part.
