A patent is an asset. An asset is anything that has present or future value to a company. So - being granted the patent is a reward for creating the invention and going through the process of filing the patent.
> how do we know we can trust this extension?

The extension adheres to the best practices, and like you said requests only access to HN. Manifest v3 is designed such that should an extension change its permission requirements, it must engage the user to decide, thereby being obvious.

> I see no information about a privacy policy

Sorry for that. I can post one in the next weeks.

> Why are the last reviews from 2012 to 2014?

The comments are from v1 which was released back in 2010. Although it continue to worked, v1 was practically out-dated and probably didn't encourage anyone to comment.

v2 was released in February 2023.
>Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence

The granting of a United States patent should be sufficient evidence to at least consider it possible that such things have been achieved.
Activation was delivered as an optional "feature" that would be installed alongside all the other Windows updates, unless you opted out of it (or it was already slipstreamed into the install disk).

From what I remember this was pushed around the time of SP2, but if you had a launch-day install disk and reformatted your disk that often then you probably never got as far as receiving that update.
> The first lemons came from East Asia, possibly southern China or Burma. (These days, some prefer to refer to Burma as Myanmar. I’ll try to stay out of that controversy here and stick to fruit.)

The Myanese (or Burmese if you prefer) have been calling it Myanmar in English since 1989 - I think just about everyone uses that except the US government nowadays don't they?

Would this be a possible alternative?

Careful, deliberate consideration of a handrolled data model, with plenty of prototyping up-front with Excel and the customer, playing out various scenarios.
the comparison doesn't make sense. typescript inherently has advantages over javascript (well, unless Javascript officially supports types which isn't happening anytime soon (https://github.com/tc39/proposal-type-annotations)).

deno does not have any inherent advantages over node if they continue to support node functionality. I won't be surprised if package.json support is next. literally the purpose and sole advantage of deno was that they did not have node cruft. things like speed are not inherent advantages. it's true deno is written in rust, but node is basically v8, which has its own advantages.
I think you need to find some new friends.
Fokker will return in the year of the linux desktop
Yes exactly. Same as TrustPilot. If you pay for their top tier you can remove reviews that go against their TOS, funny thing is they let you the customer decide if the review goes against the TOS.

>Microsoft makes a bunch of changes that everyone hates. Then they roll back a lot of them in the next OS.

That doesn't really describe Vista to 7. Windows 7 was largely Vista Service Pack 3, with some interface tweaks to give it is own visual marketing identity.

The Kernel Version Numbers are a better hint at what is going on than the marketing releases, or the service packs. Windows 2000 was NT5, XP was NT 5.1 (which was mostly a dos compatibility layer on top of 2000, so it could run consumer games and such.) Vista was NT6, 7 was NT6.1, 8 was NT6.2 8.1 was NT6.3.
I don't think the pulsations are due to rotation. It grows and shrinks periodically, causing changes in absolute magnitude; and there seems to be more than one period. The various periods seem to be related harmonically.
It's still patent encumbered[1], NACS just gave the physical specification, and says "use CCS HLS". The Tesla-SC protocol is still a black box. I wonder if this is going to involve a rollout of logical CCS on existing SCs.

[1] Tesla's patent pledge is not even close to a grant and its "good faith" rules almost certainly exclude all current major automakers.
> We found clean, CAUSAL evidence that the shingles vaccine prevents a good chunk of dementia cases. So, could a virus cause Alzheimer’s > YES

Not to be pedantic, but the BCG vaccine is used as treatment for bladder cancer but nobody is claiming that Tuberculosis causes bladder cancer. In order to claim that shingles is causal (rather than that the vaccine affects immune/other function), you would have to fulfill Koch's postulates or measure virus levels in various patients.

The effect is still interesting.

This is because you're looking at trailing P/E instead of forward.

NVDA forward P/E is still eye watering, but it's much lower.
Uhh do you not realize deno has an entirely different import system where you import by direct resource URL, or one level of indirection through an import map (just like the web)? There's no complex node_modules resolution, no .mjs extension nonsense, no package.json bits to flip. Imports are radically simpler in deno.
Cannabidiol Nanoparticles Improve Quality and Shelf Life of Strawberries
I'm satisfied with Bazel as a build system, and some of its functionality that is important to me (sandboxed remote execution) works best when it's not used to delegate to recursively nested sub-builds. To the extent I wish anything different about Bazel, it's to move even further away from integrated language-specific logic[0].

The idea of trying to learn some new ecosystem-specific build tool (in this case msbuild) is unappealing. Done that too many times, and I'm tired of fighting with tools written for/by people who think projects are written in a single language.

[0] I hear Buck2 is a step in this direction.
EB vs non-EB history also seems to imply distinct but similar conditions.
interesting, but even if they did update it more frequently, i think most people don't update their phone that often either. divestOS approach to update webview independent of the phone is actually a clever way to make it easier to update
I think you can analogize these server JS runtimes (Node, Deno) to browser runtimes (V8, JavaScriptCore, SpiderMonkey) and to the APIs that ship with those. When one browser JS engine invents and exposes a novel feature + API surface for it that the other engines don't, what happens?

If there's any demand at all for doing what the feature does, then devs will tend to write polyfills to make the feature "work" (for some value of "work") in the other engines, so that their code can still be "portable" (i.e. at least not crash) despite calling the feature. Also, eventually, the other engines might introduce their own versions of the feature, with their own APIs, for the polyfill to fill over; and then even more eventually, those will get standardized.

If there's a huge demand for the feature (think: XMLHTTPRequest), then other engines will rush to just clone the feature's API as-is, so that their engine won't be held back by the lack of it, or by the bad performance of a polyfill solution.

But if there's next-to-no demand for doing what the feature does, such that you can predict that nobody will even bother to write a polyfill, let alone port the feature, and so the feature will languish in that one engine — then yes, people will intentionally avoid using that feature at that point. See e.g. most of the Microsoft ActiveX-based stuff you could do in Chakra (IE's long-dead JavaScript engine.)

Read the Unix books, LWN, the kernel mailing list - It's definitely a good way to start out to get the fundamentals.

A good start on device drivers (old 2.6.10 kernel but still good): https://lwn.net/Kernel/LDD3/

I recommend implementing a basic key/value single table "database" in C/C++ and then add threading/multi-process interfaces so you can mentally figure out all the pros/cons. It's not technically "hard" and you'll learn a lot.
I see.

It hasn't been big news since then, so in the six months since then, did shopify manage to conduct their business legally, or did the business go to one of their several competitors who cares more about operating legally in the EU?

IDK, is this related? https://www.reuters.com/business/retail-consumer/eu-says-sho... https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_22_...

"Company complies with consumer safety law" is hard to spin as a bad thing, but go on, what have you got in that regard?
to me it's because I see how it's properties are valued by the markets it is transacted in, giving me enough safety that I can find a p2p seller to acquire some Monero without being identified (no-KYC), which then I do not risk being part of data leaks and becoming a target of attacks, and I am able to move some funds to a cold storage, which means funds I don't need to touch or connect its keys the internet, as I know in months or years from now I'll still be able to transact those as I need them, as it retains its properties and all coins are always interchangeable no matter where they come from (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fungibility)
Nodejs is the de facto platform and ecosystem to write JS backend, and it seemed to me a bit weird that one would want to compete with it without being compatible with it which meant throwing away the very large ecosystem and existing code bases with no good reasons if you wanted to migrate. So congrats to them to have made it now, Deno can still compete on speed or tooling for example. Good Deno ideas will indeed probably make their way to Nodejs (or already did), and it's great, it makes Deno already useful for everyone even if it ends up not being used that much.

About the security model: can someone explain why it's a good idea to have isolation at the interpreter level rather than relying on OS features? (or VMs). I cannot see why a security team would want an isolation system that's different for a specific platform.
Also no federal representation
I said that it's possible to get better. Not inevitable.
It's not the case for AOT, but it is for "self-contained", at least as of .NET 6.
The interesting part of Deno for me is mainly the benefits of the runtime & the idea of using v8 isolates as an alternative to containers etc.
I know the market is hyped but I just dont see how that is possible. HN please tell me where I am wrong. The only moat Nvidia has is in training. I dont see that disappearing anytime soon. At least not in the next 5 - 8 years. However I also cant see being training only brings 10x revenue on Data Center every year. It is not like older GPU are throw away after use.

> Generating JSON data using string interpolation or templating is clearly wildly insane, right? You don’t do it.

I'm sorry to report that I've seen a lot of JSON generated by string concatenation and templating, in different projects.

Often using 'printf' or 'echo' in various languages. Sometimes using whatever's used for HTML string templating if the JSON is embedded in HTML or served as a resource similar to HTML.

Yes, its horrible and breaks if fed variable values that have characters like quotation marks in. People do it anyway.

Even in languages that have perfectly good data structures and JSON libraries.

I've seen a fair amount of parsing values out of JSON using regexes too, assuming specific formatting of the supplied JSON.
Yeah, wait for them to be twitter threads: 1/n - where (n >> 1).

Volvo trucks is still swedish.

What I meant was not that Norway has spent their oil money irresponsibly.

Just that they are not (quite) an industry nation.

It is a bit like comparing a person that wins the lottery at 18, although spending it wisely.

Compared someone working their way through life.

Who has a healthier life in the long run?

That will probably turn out to have been a mistake. RAR should not be easy to use. TAR and CPIO would have been better formats to support out of the box.

Yes, shingles is reactivation of latent herpes zoster (chickenpox) usually acquired in childhood. The vaccine prevents these reactivations You can have shingles multiple times, and some people are more prone to recurrences.
It's a macro, but you can vary the function that handles the output.

The builtin Server-side React renderer outputs an HTML string instead of a vdom.
The real reason is that you are part of the same group as "the general public", with regard to your understanding of the issue. Same Sci-Fi plots, same anthropomorphic metaphors and suggestive images, same incurious abuse of the term "intelligence" to suggest self-interested actors which have intellect as one of their constituent parts. You do not explain plainly, you mislead, reinforcing people's mistakes.
People buying into the hype too much? We've been early adopters of AI at my work, but we're still hiring. AI just improved our efficiency a bit.

> This seemed (to me at least, but it wasn't entirely clear) to be reading a comment to be race based when it obviously wasn't.

It seemed so to you because you tried to read something imaginary between the lines. It is ironic that it is exactly what you accuse me of.

> Really? This just completely misinterprets the comment it replied to.

I don't think it misinterprets anything. If you think it does, provide a better interpretation.

> This assumes that a system aiming to provide universal healthcare to the citizens of a nation will refuse to help non-citizens within the nation.

No, I didn't assume anything. OP said "Keeping your people healthy should just be a given". Following basic language pragmatics, it means that keeping not your people healthy is not a given. I asked who are "your people" and was given an answer that it means citizens.
Ah, I see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puerto_Rican_dry_forests

Average annual rainfall of 24-39" is not exactly anyone's idea of a desert (I believe 10" a year is the typical definition), though looking at the photos it does appear to be more similar to the transitional area in Texas Hill Country, for example, with short trees and more shrubs. Certainly a far cry from the lushness that I expected to encompass all of Puerto Rico.
It's pretty nuts to look at Teosinte, the grass that was bred into corn/maize, and seeing how it compares to modern giant hulking ears of corn that we use for everything from fueling cars to sugaring drinks.

I'm just glad there's no foreign power occupying PR with troops and backing separatist groups there. That would be a mess. Glad stuff like that doesn't happen in the 21st century.

It is interesting that the proposed act would allow PRcans to vote for independence, but Washington would get to shape the constitution.
I'm not convinced by this particular test.

If you were asked to describe a family member, partner, or best friend, I'd bet a good chunk of it would be Forer Effect like statements.

A good way to A/B test this theory would be to ask folks to pick between AI generated statements of a famous person, and snippets from a human-written profile on them.

As an American, I was singularly interested in pointing out that most people who are in possession of houses are in the process of purchasing them and not actually owners, and that the entitlements of ownership aren't actually so great except that the property can be bequeathed or sold.

I think your assertion are interesting. The first thing that comes to mind was reading about a study on eating disorders and American television — Fijians women with access to American TV very abruptly developed dysmorphia and complementary eating disorders [1]. I think this is interesting in this context because it's programmed self-harm, and it is programmed by the influences of a foreign culture. I would say that it follows, that potential migrants, when exposed to the American dream, are liable to the same inclination towards self-harm programming.

Things like eschewing their cultural heritage, migration, assumption of American cultural motifs. And upon migration, because of the differences in wealth, they - depending on where they came from and what they're made of - are easily exploited. They may also be relatively hardy in the context of American adversity. And that's all besides the erosion of communities.

And that's an interesting point, as the endemic American population and many other "developed" nations are reeling their populations back - I expect due to decline in the expected quality of life. Succinctly: we shuttle people in to scam them.

I can't say what is right or wrong. It's a matter of priorities. As an American, I feel like I'm looking at a socioeconomic hellscape.

Yeah, you can get a nice house if you work your life away as a laborer. Our banks will dole out auto loans, housing loans, and they'll trap you in hundreds of thousands of debt because the money [was] free. And maybe I'm all wrong, but I feel like, were I able, I'd prefer a humble life as a goatherd in Romania as opposed to an American economic unit.

"Trans-cranial magnetic stimulation" — it has both been called "the god helmet" and has been used in that way.

IIRC it's a pulsed field to induce electric fields in your brain, and also has an extremely short range.

Somewhat more significant to human health is that magnetic material can be rapidly drawn towards the magnets, with the force on a steel office chair can exceed its own structural capacity in standard medical magnetic equipment: https://youtu.be/6BBx8BwLhqg

At very high field strengths, you also need to account for "your blood is electrically conductive, and electrical conductors resist motion when in a magnetic field due to induced electrical currents". According to test subjects, this "tingles".

At the most extreme fields strengths we can currently make, you also have to account for the water in your body being diamagnetic and repelling the magnets, but we can't ask any of the test subjects what that feels like as they were a frog and a rat because that's all that would fit in the tube.
I'm in the same boat.

Started with ezjail, switched to iocage, now thinking about bastille or roll-my-own.
There’s at least one thing in the article that I’m pretty sure is incorrect - it says $33 billion in debt obligations were cut down through the PROMESA restructuring. I think that vastly understated the magnitude of the debt; I believe it was more on the order of $130 billion.

I watched the restructuring pretty closely for a while but eventually lost interest after a series of will they/won’t they court decisions. I hope it delivers a sustainable outcome to the island. It’s a wonderful place and deserves better than what it’s been through in recent years.
In short:

- Wales imposed an arbitrary hard cutoff (1933-9-2) on shingles vaccine, giving excellent randomization in a natural experiment

- Randomization confirmed by comparison of preëxisting conditions

- Individuals born after Sept 2, 1933 show a noticeable discontinuity in dementia diagnoses compared to those born prior to Sept 2, 1933, as seen in Figure 3

- Analysis indicates a 20% relative risk reduction across several types of dementia from receiving the VZ vaccine.

This is not like the EBV–MS connection: nothing in the stats so far suggests that varicella zoster is essential or nearly so to developing Alzheimer's disease or other dementia, but it is strong evidence that it contributes to the development of dementia.
LOTS of people on YouTube publishing content about common vacation destinations. If you're going somewhere off the beaten path there still might be content out there of relevance but YouTube is my first stop for research these days.
I think you've have to be specific about what kind of staff. Developers? Users?

ChatGPT has only been out for about six months. Even if there are big layoffs coming, going from released technology, to implementation in a customer domain, to being comfortable laying off significant staff in that time-frame seems extremely aggressive. I would guess layoffs in that time frame would actually be fore other reasons, though "AI" could possibly been used to obscure the true reasons.

In the Midwest here and drive the same way, from rural to busy city and back. Never had any issues at all with it minus the car or five I let in front of me. I usually keep about 5 car lengths, so a fairly reasonable gap without being annoying to drivers that happen to be behind me. Also, I have zero panic braking incidents, which seem to be a big cause of crashes and slowdowns in heavy traffic due to the slinky phenomenon that tends to happen.

Not only can I see everything beyond the car in front of me, I tend to "soak" up the braking energy when there is a panic braking incident in front of me. I have no data to back this up, but I'm almost positive I've kept traffic moving much better behind me and prevented rear ending incidents using this tactic. Also, I wouldn't downplay the amount of fuel that is being saved that comes with not having to almost stop, then start over again from the slinky effect.
