I wouldn't call it weird, I think it's common in most languages to use local conjugation rules even for foreign words.

In French, even though "télécharger/téléchargé" is most common and "download" is not really used, I would definitely say "je l'ai downloadé" (and I would expect Quebecers to say mostly that). I have observed a tendency to avoid any conjugation ("je l'ai download") in younger tech workers but I don't know how representative my young colleagues are. It always sounds weird to me and sometimes leads to misunderstandings, in this case for example it's not obvious if the person is saying they "are downloading them" or they "have downloaded it".

In Dutch there is no other word than "download" and it gets conjugated like other Dutch words, "downloaden/downloadde/gedownload". And I always feel like saying "gedownloaded", I probably do it half of the time. I thought it was because my Dutch is far from good, but maybe it's just a natural thing if it happens for native German speakers as well.

As I remember, MongoDB got popular before node.js, so there wasn't really a lot of backend JavaScript developers out there to make a difference.

We first used Mongo ~11 years ago with Java. For us the benefit was that we could dump unstructured data into it quickly, but still run queries / aggregations on it later.
> On Twitter, phrases for hashtags should use capitalization of all words for reasons of accessibility

Ah, the classic #susanalbumparty
My favourite story about MongoDB is that it was so bad and popular at the same time that when a competitor developed a wire-compatible database that was miles better they simply bought it and released it as the next version of MongoDB.
Apparently they didn't learn much, given that MTProto 2.0 still uses IGE. Or still derives the IV from a hash of the message.

The article you link does not mention "cloud encryption". What is that? TLS?

> Last year the brazilian armed forces released a report

Months after neglecting to participate in the public processes that audit the machine and its software. Would you trust they would say anything that could displease Bolsonaro? Don't you think someone would have noticed such a blatantly obvious issue in a previous session, at some point in time after the mid 1990s at least?

> Biden's CIA officials told Bolsonaro

By any chance, wouldn't they be the same who helped stoke the anti-left feelings that let to a coup against Dilma Rousseff?

> Bolsonaro is a fucking idiot when it comes to health care.

That is true, and would be true if you remove the last six words as well.

> judiciary monarchy

Just noting here Bolsonaro named two supreme court justices, explicitly, for ideological and religious reasons. "Terribly Evangelical" were his words.
I think this describes a lot of how software is developed (which just goes to show how immature that part of the industry is.). Similar contracts and agreements exist between manufacturers of the brake system as well but if there is an issue there where the ABS system doesn't prevent lockup in 1% of cases, then the problem is solved or the car launch is delayed, because that's what the system is designed to do. The problem here of course is that these things are seen as gadgets without safety aspects and there is no regulatory oversight.

I guess it's also up to buyers: don't buy cars with shoddy infotainment.
> google has good engineers working in a big bureaucracy probably hid a lot of the design problems as well.

I feel like this is true of every google product in the last decade, maybe more. Their customer products, but especially their dev tools like Angular and k8s screams "We were so preoccupied with whether we could, we didn’t stop to think if we should."

Not GP but I'll bite: the guilty party is 100% the bear sprayer, whoever it may be (commissioner or not).

But breakdown of law, order and general societal cohesion invites this kind of behaviour. It's still the perpetrator's fault, but conditions are made so that these people are more likely to lash out.
Certainly. What I was trying to say was that the notion of terraforming Mars as an escape when we screwed up here is absurd.
Absolutely. Because if we don't draw line there, we'll see no end to history (and art is part of history) being rewritten and modified for increasingly inane reasons. And poorly, at that.

We should trust our basic intelligence and judge content in the time period it was made and extract what we find valuable out of it. Anything else suggests either we're stupid, or we want to be treated like we're stupid. And that's a sad future for humanity if so.
>Browser does not have a fuck ton of well supported widgets

What are you talking about ? HTML and CSS is full of widget libraries, it's the best cross platform widget library out there.

Ease of deployment + reach is the driving force behind improving the platform, but at the present nothing in Rust can even compare to something like Material UI. And let's not even go into stuff like date range picker components and shit where companies probably spent millions in engineering effort to get them right (eg. AirBnB) .
I definitely agree, it all depends on their profit margin correlation to their infra cost. For a normal SAAS I'm assuming it's not very strong, but for a video streaming business, I think the cost is much higher and therefore a lot more highly correlated. We also need to take into account the reasoning behind this decision. They're also removing multiples of users but losing only one membership so it's even more skewed towards being even. In the end, I'm assuming this is a calculated decision from their end, so they should have the numbers, if they're skewed in their favor they'll proceed, if not, they can always backtrack and not release this in the US, which I think is why they're releasing to smaller markets first.
The water ads I've seen aren't for water from the tap, but are instead pushing bottled water which aren't quite the same thing.
I agree. I love reading books from around the mid 20th century – Chaim Potok and Richard Yates being my favourites. There are lots of things in Yates that could today be considered sexist or insensitive, but they're such a wonderful way to get a sense of the attitudes and culture of the past. Plastering over it to appease people who don't even really read (or watch movies in the case of Spielberg) is just immature in my view.

It's a side note, but I also dislike the notion of sensitivity readers and such for new publications too. All it can lead to in my view is a dulling of writing.
Yes. The official/technical abbreviation is apparently NW because German Bundesland abbreviations are two letters, but colloquially (and even formally on most occasions) everyone calls it NRW.

Incidentally when GP said the police "use" the guns at train stations, what they meant was "carry". The German "einsetzen" is more ambiguous about whether something is part of the loadout or actively used (I guess "deploy" is the closest equivalent). I'm fairly certain the guns aren't actually loaded (they're just too big to holster) but at times the Bundespolizei (the federal police responsible for train stations and ports of travel) will indeed carry H&K machine pistols.
Ask HN: Any evidence that our elected officials aren't calling the shots?
Many people seem to have an intuition that in democratic countries there are small groups of anonymous, powerful people who decide on the path forward (eg. deep state)

Yes there is lobbying, but is there any proof of more concentrated groups of people deciding what goes?

Given the horrific lengths gone to attain power, it seems naive to assume this has left western democracies untouched.
Compounding this on a touchscreen is slippage. Cars can be bumpy. If you slip and hit the wrong control it can take an unacceptably large amount of concentration (given what you are meant to be actually concentrating on when driving) to work out where you are now, how to get back to where you are, and try to do the original thing again. A few seconds of confusion and distraction is more than enough to kill.

Tactile buttons are usually much harder to press by mistake. I'm glad my i30 only seems to require the touchscreen for CarPlay (a necessary evil), or settings which I'd generally only check when parked.
I am still not sure if 1984 is a net positive. It was supposed to spread awareness of the dangers of surveillance and totalitarian states, but sometimes it rather seems it provided a blueprint for those organisations on how to use power effectivly. /s

On first blush, the headline just looks like a consequence of quarterly revenue miss when there's an implied floor to both cost of sales and operating expense in the face of elevated FX headwinds and substantial macro uncertainty.

TSMC posted poor results last week, not dissimilar to Texas Instruments on Tuesday. Now we see Samsung join the club, and the trend is likely to be no different for Intel after market close today.

All the while Nvidia has been trading in the $270-280 range on pure AI hype euphoria, completely oblivious to $2+ billion of deprecated Ampere architecture inventory glut, the export restrictions hammer that dropped last year when China sales alone accounted for over 21% of FY22 revenue, and more recently, AIB manufacturers informed that RTX 4070 production is being paused a mere 1 week after launch in an attempt to prevent inventory buildup, just to call out a few.

It’s not really a cheeky caveat. The parent commenter is just making silly unfounded claims, supported mainly be their use of the word “don’t” as an entire sentence. Plenty of healthy products are marketed to the public. There’s plenty of nutritional value in milk too, and nothing fundamentally wrong with it.

Most of these things cannot be "measured", and weighing them to produce some kind of aggregate score is inherently a biased process. There isn't any remotely agreed upon method to determine what constitutes an authoritarian government (or even where a specific government falls on a scale between authoritarian and democracy, when compared to others).

In some aspects, Switzerland is more authoritarian than Saudi Arabia. For example, in Switzerland there are strict building codes everywhere that restrict what kind of house you are allowed to build for yourself; in most of Saudi Arabia, you can build your house however you want. The very idea of a scale that somehow "measures" such things, and adequately incorporates them into a coherent picture of the whole, is absurd.
I would wager that a decent conservator would be able to “undress” the paintings - they probably went over the top of the old varnish. Even if they didn’t, most touch up work is removable, chemically or mechanically.

That said, at this point, the painted on underwear is part of the history, and at least one example of overwrought censorship should be preserved as an artefact of its era.
Idk people but to me, changing and progressing morality and values doesn’t make sense. If something is truth, it must be truth at all times and places.
I like to gripe on this too, but it depends on if he was unhappy with the decision already back then, or not.

But yes, it kind of ruins the Hero's Journey for Han. And makes Han Solo appear more of haphazard lucky bastard who didn't get killed in that bar just by sheer chance, rather than a cunning and hard-to-kill bastard.

"Lactase nonpersistence is most prevalent in people of East Asian descent, with 70 to 100 percent of people affected in these communities."

Masai herdsmen are East Africans; so I find that statistic bewildering. "Lactase nonpersistence" means the decline of the production of the enzyme lactase beyond infancy. I don't know whether lactase nonpersistence is equivalent to lactose intolerance.
No, it faced a huge amount of resistance, took about 5 years to pass a law, then about 10 years for the regulators to actually enforce it.

Exactly like sane and popular gun control laws to prevent thousands of childrens' tragic deaths per year from guns face fanatical well funded resistance from insane and corrupt institutions like the NRA and GOP.

Raw milk is frequently used to describe non-pasturised milk - this of course shouldn’t be drunk unless you know exactly where it’s from.

A glass of milk isn’t so strange here in the U.K. I occasionally see people drinking from pint cartons, and occasionally do so myself when I’m walking to work.

But of course the strangeness is likely to depend on demographics of lactose tolerance where you are. Here lactose intolerance is relatively uncommon among the majority
Genomics, for example. The entire field could not exist without extensive algorithmic research done over several decades. Even today, many of the key people in the field have a background in CS and mathematics.

Theoretical ecology is a bit more old-school answer. Many mathematicians have been involved in that field.

As with most things in the beginning a lot of low hanging fruit allow for rapid innovation and progress. As things become more developed, progress tends to slow. At that time both hardware and software made rapid progress.

I think currently the big change that is happening is path based ray tracing. In the next couple years a lot of mainstream hardware should be able to do it and it makes a big impact on how games look.

Apart from that it's just more triangles I guess. We are approaching photorealistic looks and further development will try to run what huge desktop graphics cards can do, on smartphone GPUs. There we have seen actually significant developments in the past 10 years.

This is perhaps nitpicking but I wish non-native English speakers would not use the term “Anglo-Saxon” to describe anglophone or (better) English speaking countries. The term refers to the original north Germanic invaders of England and so has tribal (racial) connotations and is typically used in English to distinguish people on that basis. Many/most Americans (e.g. black or Native American) so not consider themselves “Anglo-Saxon” nor would most Irish people nor many non-white Australians, for example. Heck - lots of British passport holders would not identify as Anglo-Saxon. If you don’t identify as Anglo-Saxon in an English speaking country, it’s jarring to hear your native home country being referred to as “Anglo-Saxon”. Just use “English speaking” which has no racial overtones and is both easier to understand and more precise.
Interesting link. If I'm reading that chart right these are the lowest profits reported by Samsung since Q1 2009 (that is around ~600 billion Won both then and now).
The automotive's industry answer to safety and security is complexity. And it is only getting worse.
I'm not sure; I think "Samsung Profits Plunge 200%" would be pretty easy to make sense of, in that it would mean "They lost as much this [period] as they gained last [period]". Likewise, you could represent that as -200% change, or -100% of last quarters profits.
That's exactly what I mean by "come up with their own names" - "liquid oat product for coffee" sounds terrible. The least you can expect is for them to come up with a good name. The Indian cuisine has come up with their own vegan and vegetarian food for 2000 years, it's delicious, and they don't need to call it "vegan sausages."

The problem I have with all these products (as a frequent consumer) is that you never know what you get. Some fake meat is delicious, other sorts are horrible, almost inedible. Soy "milk" makes me throw my guts out, almond "milk" tastes great.
Not sure why so downvoted. My kid said a neighbor had almond milk in his fridge, and she hated it. I asked her how she would milk an almond, playing dumbfounded.

She said she doesn't think you can, and it's probably just almonds in water. And I told her she's probably right, and it's not milk.

She loves milk, fwiw. Consider her one pissed off consumer. Why are these jackasses trying to piggyback?
I agree with his point about the films being a snapshot of history, but the examples of ET and Roald Dahl highlight for me the issue. Dahl’s language isn’t very friendly, and the guns in ET are scary and arguably inappropriate, but the film and books are fantastic stories with real-world lessons in an accessible format for kids. Do we just “remake” them? How does that work for books?
Linear and highly predictable systems like automobile engines are not really comparable to chaotic systems like the weather or the universe: they demand separate modes of analysis. Emergent behavior is one of these lenses of analysis that is useful for chaotic systems, so it is natural that trying to make comparisons to an engine don’t really work with it. For a simple physical system that is chaotic, i.e. does display emergent behavior, good examples I’ve heard are things like triple pendulums, or the currents of water in a river.
> In French, even though "télécharger/téléchargé" is most common and "download" is not really used, I would definitely say "je l'ai downloadé"

I think the OP’s problem comes from “down” being used like a standard German prefix, which does sound really awkward. Foreign verbs in French are (almost?) always used like first-group regular verbs, the only alteration is the suffix. It feels less out of place.
They specifically adapted to survive on that diet due to both group level isolation and individual upbringing (gut bacteria development). Different socio-cultural groups often have different tolerance for common food items.

> They made those recordings confidential and stalled official attempts at investigation as much as possible.

They made the recordings unavailable to Congress because several members of Congress are being investigated for their involvement. Also, it's not a legal responsibility of Congress to investigate criminal and terrorist attacks - that responsibility belongs to the police, as the responsibility to ensure the safety of the president is with the Institutional Security Cabinet, which, until recently, was stacked with Bolsonaro supporters (one was recorded serving water to intruders).

It's naïve to the extreme to think the federal police doesn't have the full recordings (CNN showed a few, out of order, with selected faces blurred, including the guy serving the intruders) and hasn't had them from the start, as the first thing they'd request would be those recording (and they know how many cameras there are, and how much material they should have - running time times the number of cameras).
As an argument, that's rather thin. You'd need to show that it has been used "often" over the last decade or so to argue that it is common usage. That said, the use of coconut milk would suffice to prove your point.

Steak, burger, meat, etc., don't fall in this category, but personally, I find vegan burger more understandable than the technically/conventionally more precise plant-based patty. It also doesn't distract from the original word: if something is called burger, you can be pretty sure it's meat.
> they are financially ill advised to put so much effort into a market that provides minimal returns

What effort ? Removing a character or shrinking it on the movie poster here and there... That is taking their audiences for morons.

Hollywood is losing its battle in many parts of the world and this is because of their mediocre production since a decade. Why korean and indian movies, or even thailand & indonesian ones are booming? Because they are made with the audience in mind and often appeal to higher values, shared by most humans.

People either watch movies to be entertained or to experience something. Not to be lectured or shoved some propaganda down their throats. Especially when this propaganda has nothing to do with their own cultures. Hollywood can chose to center on the US or to keep aiming for the world market. But not both, with its current mindset.

The recent hits of Top Gun Maverick and Mario Bros compared to the failures of all Disney movies, among others, fairly clearly proves my point.
Appreciate the historical facts yet don't see how we can draw from it that milk is good/bad/whatever?

Taking your argument to extremes: Historically slavery enabled us to farm huge plantations which we couldn't otherwise have... ?!

If at all, following your argument, you seem that say that historically humans only consumed milk in inhospitable places.
You're not kidding about lax enforcement of drug laws. In Kreuzberg I'd often see people obviously offering to sell drugs to passers-by as police cars would drive down the road practically next to them.

On the other hand the police does occasionally decide to make a show out of its enforcement. I think it's more appropriate to call it "selective" than lax, at least by German standards.
