Generating a new key for documentation seems incredibly easy, or even generating random base64 text. Most of all, searching Google for a random key to use as example seems easiest of all.

I find it hard to believe that anyone would take their actual production key and redact it for documentation. Does the author have evidence of this in practice, or did they see example keys and assume they were redacted production keys?

edit: It seems they have found one: https://www.hezmatt.org/~mpalmer/blog/2023/06/12/private-key...

How long does it take from pent-up anger and rhetoric to action?

Okay, do you have numbers for that? (honest question)
Most "statistics" I have seen were done via a reddit survey, which 3rd party apps can't do due to API-limitations. So all the users sying "yes I use a 3rd party app" did so either via their mobile or workstation browser (where you have to auth again) which is a hassle most people (me included) are not willing to take for some random reddit survey.

Ask HN: How does FB get any new users?
Recently I made a brand new FB account for a project and as soon as I created the account I was instantly suspended. I had to dispute, upload more info, then get suspended _again_, dispute, upload _more_ info and for now I seem to be not suspended. This was for a totally legitimate account creation with no malintent.

This was obviously a terrible experience that makes me wonder how FB is able to get new users at all? I always thought that while FB had horrible stories like this, the mass market product was generally fine and polished for end users. I went through this crapshow, but there is no way an average user would have.

Is there something I'm missing here? Did I just get really unlucky and most people actually have a decent onboarding experience?
Yes. Another force multiplier is OpenAI’s exclusive access to the un-dumbed-down version of GPT-4. https://twitter.com/jordancurve/status/1644963115443027968
There are lenses. Your eyes don't have to accommodate to a couple ft in front of you in VR, unlike with a screen. Instead they can focus on infinity or a very long distance, so it's actually wayyyyy better for myopia.

I don't believe this is true. Women who are polled about "how many children they want" arrive at a number far above a 2.1 (replacement) societal average. Then they just don't have that many. That suggests that they did want to procreate enough to sustain population and there are other causes preventing them from doing it.

On one hand, if anyone is going to crack it, it's going to be Apple. They seem to have made the best possible "giant uncomfortable helmet strapped to your face".

On the other, I have no interest in VR/AR until it hits a "better Google glass" level. Something that looks and feels like a normal pair of glasses, but has things like AR navigation, text message popups, or hands-free ability to change music by "looking" at a button. Unfortunately that tech seems to be ~10+ years out.
I like linux and I want linux laptops and their companies to succeed but this page is so bad on so many levels:

- No information about price

- No shipping information / warrenty for abroad

- Weight and other measurements is only in american system

- DVD drive on a laptop 2023?

- Censored information?

- Barely any pictures, the single one that exist is so small so it's hard to see.

- Shitty design that looks like one of my first webpages

> ISO/IEC 8859-1 … standardised in 1987

Are you sure about that designation? I don't remember 8859-1 having combining characters and other sources (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_8859-1 for one) seem to agree and also list it as being officially ratified later than '87 ('98).
It's a cat/dog/animal thing. At least that's where I see "smol" used the most, in relation to kittens and puppies and other newborn animals.

And it's been brewing there for a few years now, and the word's escaping into more contexts.

Canonical has provided security updates just for the packages in "main" and the security updates for the rest were provided by community maintainers on a best-effort basis. With Ubuntu Pro, Canonical now provides security updates for more packages than it used to, otherwise.

The only limiting Cubans access to internet is its own government that restricts internet access, blocks many websites, monitor every citizen's social media, don't respect privacy rights, and even have laws that fines and can put in jail Cubans for posting on social media complaints against the government and its politics.
The Cuban dictatorship sees internet as its enemy because they cannot control the information there. I have lived through that hell for 30 years.
If I recall correctly, macsergey, the developer behind many of the top traffic-centric mods including Node Controller, Intersection Marking Tool, and a few vehicle spawning and mass transit stop mods, was hired by Colossal Order. The road and traffic management tools seen so far seem vastly improved from this trailer so fingers crossed CO saw the QoL fixes the community needed and tried to include at least some of them.

To be entirely fair to the other commenter, they want it the other way around (iPad on a monitor not iPad as a monitor) which is why I didn’t include Continuity.

AFAIK it’s only Mac->iPad. If you’re running an app that also exists on your Mac (or equivalent like a browser) then you’d be able to take over the context on your Mac but it isn’t technically “[throwing] iPad Apps up on any monitor”.

They’re most definitely on an anti-Apple/Vision Pro crusade given their replies, but they asked for a specific thing and I gave them the exact thing they asked for.

The bitcoin craze was just about making money. Buy low, sell high. The different with AI is it's immediately useful for people to do their jobs more effectively, just just a vague "in the future" kind of thing.

> No one credible is saying china intentionally released the virus

Half this very thread. "you couldn't mention the lab without being called a racist" and then they proceed to talk about china bioengineering weapons instead of an accidental lab leak.

The constant "the news suppresed this because of trump" is also a pretty loud dogwhistle.

The idea that a lab could have a leak was studied, there were multiple papers on it. The evidence did not add up to much, other than the circumstancial. The zootropic evidence had a bit more weight but still came up with "we might not have enough data to come up with a conclusive answer".

Because scientists said they leaned on that evidence the popular science outlets explained it as "origin is a bat not a lab leak" which should have had more nuance in the headlines but popular science outlets try to summarise hard science into easy to understand articles and they are fairly guilty of clickbait (how many times have we cured cancer, or some physics experiment done something close to a black hole). And between that and a number of bad actors starting conspiracy theories about the lab being a hidden bioweapon lab and China releasing it intentionally the discourse got all sorts of distorted.

The problem is Bioweapon dudes hid behind lab leak concerns and the lack of evidence from a scientific prespeective gave the wet market Patient 0 more visibility. To this day, half this thread is people with conspiracy theories hidding behind the lab leak. Makes a conversation about it almost entirely useless when you engage with someone and a few messages in they say the media is jewish and wanted to destroy the economy with lockdowns to make trump lose (this is a comment on this very thread further up, although i think they have been shadowbanned already)
The UFO craze was created by the paradigm where the government constantly lies to the public, over-classifies information, and where we never know how far apart the public vs private conversations are from our key leaders. Moreover where everyone knows we're constantly being lied to though we may disagree about where and to what extent. The government isn't trusted because it's proven itself untrustworthy.

In that context we're left guessing. It could be true or not, we'd have no way of knowing. That's the problem with broken trust.
> I am a remote worker, and the only solution I've found to stay focused is to close the door of my room. What about you?

Years of practice. Closing the door is a good strategy. I can't do the 'earphones in, work mode on' strategy, music is a distraction - so simply put, years of practice.

I've heard good things about the book Indistractable by Nir Eyal. I'll get around to reading it when I'm not busy / distracted.
Same kind of people that pour endless hours to scale models and model trains etc? Hobbies take time, and many people make them a priority in life.
>I don't think it ever held a really dominant position. It was never famous or well known.

Calling one of the most visited sites on the internet in the early 2000s “not dominant” is odd.
Well it sounds like your problems go far beyond the thing we're talking about. Good luck!
Missed the catalog section, so makes a little more sense in the context of browsing the site from the start. Still, I shouldn’t have to add to cart to actually see the price as configured.

I don’t want to get too far in the weeds here since we’re not generally supposed to critique site design on HN. But it feels relevant to the conversation given the product text doesn’t have that information.
No it's not, and we do have semantic web accessible to screen readers. It is just also this incredible universal platform for building and distributing applications. It's a universal layer accessible to all, no mater your socioeconomic background, politics or location.

Criticising the web platform as not confirming to a set of self defined rules is lazy and pointless.
Considering the timing and the fact they should be under significantly _reduced_ load today, I wonder if this could be sabotage by disgruntled employees

Then again maybe the blackout is having a Streisand effect where everyone is checking to see what's down, and perhaps usually traffic is sharded across subreddits that no longer exists
You did not quote any evidence that inequality is linked to low birth rates. Not surprising, because as far as I know, there is none.

There are many theories of why we have "lowest-low" fertility:

* The gender transition has left women juggling jobs and family ("gender equity theory") [1]
* Elite norms changed, originally among population planners, who pushed societies to lower their birth rate; [2]
* Increasing individualism (the "second demographic transition") [3]

Inequality is not one of them.

A site going offline after a redesign is likely more the case where it was hoped a redesign would provide a lift in engagement, but didn't solve what the core problem(s) were. A redesign in the face of glaring problems can however accelerate the demise where the users become aware of how out-of-touch the maker/operator is or has become.
This has the issue stated at the bottom of the article: someone will eventually copy that as their own private key, even if the author had never used it.
> then it has to redesign it's OS for non-uniform memory doing all that fun stuff hiding the memory communication, then it has to add the primitives to it's languages for you to manage memory (because to get performance you have to actively design for it) and then you need to get all your performance critical applications to re-write their stacks with this in mind.

Yeah, it's not like their OS and Languages already support this model given that everything before the switch to Arm worked this way
Teach your kids from a young age that they should have a lot of kids, and then financially incentivize them to get married and have kids?

How...patriarchal.
Luck plays a huge role in our lives. We are born completely on top of others' achievements and grow on them for a long time: family, society and state. Even the chance for us to differentiate is that, a chance. Only when there starts to be a record of turning points where one could have done bad/good choices can an individual overcome the survivor bias doubt[1].

It is important to recognize that record as otherwise we stop being individuals with no recorded contribution nor merit.

[1] I the hate survivor bias as it is generally hard to refute it in human behaviors.

Kubuntu is awesome! Using an LTS version which provides a solid base and then using the kubuntu-backports PPA to get the latest KDE Plasma stuff works great in my experience.

>Is there some good explanation, show a sinking titanic was heard both in london and new york, but a modern(...ish) MH-370 can just dissapear?

If Titanic had sunk in the Indian Ocean, it would probably still be lost.

By sinking in the North Atlantic it was within radio range of dozens of other ships and ground stations. Carpathia got to it in 3 hours.

The part of the Indian Ocean that MH370 is thought to have gone down in is second only to the South Pacific in emptiness.

You forgot to add 'why am i now pointing all these things out that others definitely won't think of'...
Seriously, strange thoughts you had there.

I hate this pseudo-anonymity of hotels, having to pass the reception area multiple times day & night (ever noticed how they look at you when you bring your own food from the supermarket?), maybe even needing to return the room key all the time, being disturbed by cleaning staff (and getting a note stating "we couldn't clean your room for like 3 days, please see us the reception" when you leave the sign out), ...

Nope. Just nope. And even worse: All these other travelers around, most are typical tourists.
you’re really glossing over two major elements:

1. The ease of use of installing Android apps. This is the constant flaw of all the “well XYZ also does this” arguments from tech folks that ignore the flow of the process

https://www.androidcentral.com/how-sideload-apps-oculus-ques...

That’s not exactly something most people will be doing

2. As the person you’re replying to said, the iPad app can adopt visionOS features within the same codebase. The android apps cannot, because there’s no progressive API.
The DDR also had softcore movies late at night in the hope of increasing the birth rate. I haven't heard that the USSR had gone to that length.

The state institutions were indeed revolutionary, especially compared to the BRD which was (& is) much more regressive when it came to equality (e.g. half school days weds and sat meant women couldn't hold down full time jobs). Unfortunately, as they were indeed also propaganda vehicles, that system was tossed out along with everything else.

Not everything in the DDR was a terrible idea, only almost everything. I can't really criticise the way unification was achieved (it was a big rush that hadn't been planned for) but it's OK to look back and consider what could still be learnt.
> 15.6”(39.62cm) FHD (1920x1080) 16:9 panel, 3.2mm

I've been disgusted with this stuff for well over a decade. I remember how excited I was when Microsoft showed they can see and made a glitchy 2-in-1 with bright, high-resolution 3:2 touch screen, Surface Book. When was that? Ah, 2015. Then, some Chinese noname knock-off with a Snapdragon SoC copied it, probably literally bought the same panels; I was tempted by the low price point but reasoned it's useless for work and I might as well buy a 16:9 tablet for fun. Then, I think it was some Dell super-thin premium ultrabook? Overheating Huawei with rare, subpar resolution? A few fashionable ultrabooks on underpowered Intels when I wanted a Ryzen 5800H but apparently Intel negotiated their AMD versions don't get good screens? Then, Apple got close with 2021 Macbook Pro.

I bought Apple, because it was the first one without crippling flaws and unabashed contempt for the user, as it unfortunately happens almost every time. It also conspicuously rectified many other mistakes of Apple itself: the cable, the charging port, the thinness and thin corners fetish, the cooling, the keyboard, well, you remember it.

It wasn't a laptop of my dream by any measure, which is more like "a bit thinner X440p, made with modern affordances and fuller utilization of the volume and lid space". (No, X1 ain't it). But it was good enough to consider that it's someone's dream. And it's a honor to use dream products in principle.

Anyway, the point goes beyond displays. This all convinced me that independent laptop makers absolutely can produce devices with displays of almost arbitrary ratio and resolution and indeed very close to my dream in other respects, but they won't because they have no ambition and no interest in their user's use cases; their drive is exhausted by pandering to some self-identifying nerds and selling a few thousands of "configurable" junk on a generic OEM Shenzhen chassis to the suckers. They do not eat their own dog food.

Or perhaps, less cynically, there's just too few people like me and even they'll rather get a good-enough Macbook.
This is huge problem.

I just stayed at a “lakefront” cabin and I had to drive to the lake. How did 30 reviews not mention that.
Big (and small) companies routinely make "data-driven decisions" based on obviously-faulty data collection, bad models, or misapplication of statistics. It rarely takes some crack scientific mind to spot it, either. But they want a decision now and doing it right might take a lot longer or cost more, or the correct model might be a lot fuzzier and that makes them uncomfortable, or they've got some notion in their heads already and they'll be damned if mere numbers are going to get in the way of that, so everyone in the room's just supposed to nod along when the blatantly-biased graphs come up on the Power Point suggesting (erroneously) that we do X.

The business world runs at least as much on bullshit as the most cynical among us might think, I'd say. It's not half as clever or competently-run as one might hope, certainly.

It's a cliche that front-line workers have a better understanding of customers and products than the c-suite and that this leads to predictable blunders, because that's often true.

(I'm also not sure I'd call Reddit a "giant corp", but that's beside the point [EDIT] and anyway, to be fair, this particular discussion isn't just concerned with Reddit)

> I think it's just as meaningful of a parody as a weird al song.

This is just taking the exact JD bottle shape and logo, changing a couple of words and making it a plush toy. A Weird Al song is an entirely new song, written and performed to the beat of the current song. The difference is a lot of hours of time and creativity.

> You're supposed to be able to use and reference trademarks as long as it can't be confused as the original.

Songs can't be trademarked, so this isn't a relevant comparison in any case.

> What if politicians start trademarking their names and faces and start suing people for talking shit?

Again, you generally cannot trademark your likeness. There are exceptions for its commercial use, but the ability to "talk shit" about politicians is highly protected.
Reddit almost always have problem around this time everyday though.
