Europes tech sector is thriving, but it’s all boring technology that actually solves real problems that nobody cares about like SAP and shit so the HN crowd don’t think it exists :)
Really love when I get a /30 with one IP from hosting providers. (Oops, /30 not 22. Subtracted two from the wrong number.)
Well, they don't really have to, do they? They can just be angry for the rest of their life.
I have on rare occasion asked parents of kids to be more mindful, I received the sort of vitriol one should expect from parents who have thus far failed to instil manners into their kids. Not once has any good come from it - so I have given up. There is no education happening there and there is clearly nothing I can do about it. Parents especially seem oblivious to noise of own kids. For the cafe, instead of making judgment calls on a case by case basis which can cause insult to the parents it's simply easier to have a blanket ban. I could see it being a problem if the cafe was the only place in existence, but children can practice their manners elsewhere, there are plenty of other places for them to go. I don't see how having one additional place would improve their manners.
This is also why it's a bad idea to read propaganda outlets to "stay more informed".
Is there a significant amount of electric vehicles that get discarded because it's too hard to change the battery?

The challenge of using synthesized chemicals for energy storage exists for quite some time indeed. For aviation and marine there may be no other option outside of synthetic fuels, I agree.

Can this scale up? Or is this a small scale only solution?

Transportation. How much energy would a truck be able to move? How does it compare to a tank truck? Weight is absolutely relevant here.

Also, production. Consider that reducing iron is measured by millions of tons per year per plant, and right now, it's done burning it with plain old coal.

Seems very odd to me the subtitle of the news is 'carbon free fuel'. That alone is a massive bullshit indicator, but I digress.

How something that may have a 10% global energy recovery efficiency could beat a pure redox power storage solution? This question has been avoided so far.
The Zanzibar paper has a section on the consistency model, which says that the race conditions outlined are solved by respecting update order. It then solves it by using Spanner as underlying storage (which is kind of lazy).

How does Warrant deal with consistency?
A general question: What do you all think about this Skill representation as points out of 5 (or 7 or 10 for that matter)? These arbitrary scales always hit me as kind of...useless? There is no frame of reference what a specific amount of points mean. Of course, with this kind of skill-self-description there will always be difficulties, i.e., one does not always know what one does not know etc. But it seems to me that e.g., a duration of full-time or equivalent experience with a technology would provide a better way of measuring experience than these arbitrary scales?
While this is true, I don't see how this is relevant. Auto-wipers detect the changes in optical properties of the windshield, not your ability to see.
Brightest by what measure?

It seems like you're placing a lot of weight on the kind of intelligence that favors office work and ignoring all of the artists, builders, monks, healers and leaders whose names fill history books.

Brightest by your measure rarely get mentioned. Not to say historical impact is the most valuable metric, but it begs the question of what is your measure of brightness good for?

You kind lost me there.
Let's reformulate the problem: what is a more responsible approach regarding old graphics files that have value for you: to keep them in a proprietary format that can be used only with a tool you will have to pay for until the end of your life and can lose access to at any moment[0] because it's controlled by a third party, or rather store them in a format that is open or can be opened by software you actually own and which cannot be shut down by someone else?

Yes, I know we had little choice back then. But we are in a better position now.

Glad I checked before adding another thread about how much I hate pinterest.

Seriously, no honor among thieves! :p
to say nothing of the personal feeling of violation, the individual in question seems to be a relatively young and ambitious individual, likely harboring aspirations for a more prominent political career.

The potential consequences of such a revelation that “they might’ve been a pornographic actor” could give rise to a future scandal during an election. Even the slightest insinuation of involvement in the adult entertainment industry can inflict significant damage, particularly for women.

We’re actually seeing AI-generated imagery being used more and more in political propaganda (eg https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/25/technology/ai-elections-d...). It’s not unreasonable to think this will become a major point in a future election, even if it hasn’t yet.
Loss Leader is not the same economically as Dumping. Gillette is the former, VC-backed companies are the latter. Loss Leader tactics are sustainable in a competitive market, but Dumping is profit negative until someone (hopefully your competition) goes out of business.
This was the status quo for most users for years, tech users just used to work around the front end security via dev tools / content blockers.

So now they implemented it on the back end too.

After all, why should they allow you to view the content on their servers?
As I mentioned in another reply, I agree with that wholeheartedly. That factor of punishment is called deterrence.

I am in favor of punishment for deterrence, denunciation and incapacitation. I am not in favor of punishment for retaliation (punitive justice) or rehabilitation (restorative justice).
Really a shame it's got that big watermark across it...
Read about what private corporations did in the 40s and 50s to maintain land in Central America and the Middle East. Hundreds of thousands of people died and democracies were replaced by dictators so Chaquita didn’t have to sell land being repossessed under imminent domain. Simile story in Iran with Standard Oil. Getting someone deported is pretty low on the list of atrocities corporations would do to make a buck.
The provision is infamously toothless. A proper DMCA notice (yes, you can send improper ones...) is supposed to contain a statement made under penalty of perjury saying you are or represent the owner of the allegedly infringed upon work.

So you just have to own the thing you claim is infringed, you do not have to be correct that the items you target with the notice are actually infringing upon your work. That stops me from claiming to own Mickey Mouse and sending notices against it. It does not stop me from claiming something I actually own copyright to and sending spurious notices to non-infringing works.

Now, there might be some minor monetary liability for costs incurred by a completely bogus notice, but they're probably not large enough to sue over without ending up losing more money on the suit than you win in most cases, so it's relatively untested, though I think there may have been a settlement or two over such claims.
Sure, reframing the terminology further onto the paradigm of centralization doesn't change what I said. I don't pay for software, nor services aimed at replacing what can be self-representing software.

Speaking of opportunity costs - yes, you do pay an opportunity cost to find, set up, and learn software that represents your interests. But then down the line, you continually save on opportunity costs from hostile software not continually having you over a barrel. Because while you're correct that the value comes from using the software, outsourcing the operation of it is a trap that will continually try to capture more and more of the surplus value you'd otherwise gain from using it.
IME it's the opposite, where you could say anything and would never get banned unless you met some manual review threshold. You can be reported by a small group and receive an automated 24hr (increased if recurring) mute regardless of content. This led me to stop talking at all in these games.

Can you elaborate on cheaters? What kind of cheaters? Actual honest-to-god manipulating memory and getting some advantage? Or do you mean someone abusing an exploit?

RMT is a tricky subject and hard to get right. Even in Diablo 4, on release if you just traded a 'fair' amount of gold (~30million) you would get an automated ban. I wouldn't call this not caring.

Hardly. "Real world applications" need to tolerate single node failure anyway so reload functionality doesn't add all that much. Some system daemons, sure, them not working for a second can be disruptive so it is worthy endeavor there, but the amount of added complexity is nontrivial and the added complexity scales with apps' own complexity.

It's a bit different for desktop apps, as restarting app every time you change some config options would be far bigger PITA than some server app.

Beyond not disclosing the requirement up front being a clear dark pattern, I'd think this is self-defeating. The only time I need Glassdoor is when I'm contemplating changing jobs. Leaving a review for my current employer feels extremely risky, as the no. 1 type of users of Glassdoor are HR departments.

The funny thing is that while I remember really enjoying a lot of things on the old web, I don't really remember how I found them. My guess is by either following a link and digging or by talking with people and hearing what they liked. I don't think I've had a word of mouth website recommendation in ten years.
> They are already at the bottom with nothing to lose.

If they have access to running water and a roof over their head, this is a wildly misinformed perspective. The people at the bottom typically feel the most pain during economic wipeouts.
I agree with you.

Any eviction algorithm would have an adversarial workload, so a simpler algorithm is better because you know what the workload was and whether it happens in production; on the other end, the complicated one only makes this worse and the failure of a cache is often catastrophic. :)
cloudflare is the biggest employer of the fuck you pattern. making people captcha shit.
The thing about slashdot is they tolerated/encouraged low-quality posts ("first post!") from the start - and it worked... for some people while there were also good quality posts. But I think it had the problem that when some factor causes your good posts to decline, the garbage ratio goes up and then you can't recover. I've seen similar dynamics with smaller forums - tolerating various kind of bullshit can work for a fair while but the end is sudden.

I'd say HN has overall declined in quality over the last years but it's managed to avoid a precipitous decline by having basic standards.
You talk about the community being toxic and then you say people running dungeons for gold are incels. I think the community is better without you.
Swayed maybe, but definitely not controlled equally.
Interesting; that does appear to be accurate:

https://www.aclu.org/documents/text-digital-millennium-copyr...

> ”(3)ELEMENTS OF NOTIFICATION.-

> ”(A) To be effective under this subsection, a notification of claimed infringement must be a written communication provided to the designated agent of a service provider that includes substantially the following:

[...]

> ”(vi) A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly in-fringed.

But that makes it completely trivial to abuse. But like... for everyone. What prevents a person from returning the favor? Say, if one of the folks in the article decided to make a list of parties involved in this farce and inundate them with DMCA notices for something they have nothing to do with. Either that's legal, in which case it can be used against the initial aggressors, or it's not, in which case they're equally liable.

Edit: Okay, I read to the bottom of the post that pointed me to that text: https://law.stackexchange.com/questions/51541/has-anyone-bee... and it does in fact list "at least two" civil suits that look really similar to the situation we're discussing here.

I actually think “Comfortably Numb” stands up better as a single than The Wall does as an album though.

I think you have that backwards - Elon never wanted Twitter, he just wanted to see his name in some headlines and make people run around pulling their hair for a bit. However he messed up and put himself in a position where he had to buy Twitter for far more then it was worth and he was held to it. All the top people he fired day one were more then happy to parachute away - was the best thing for them. There is no way he will ever make back that 44 billion on Twitter, he’ll be lucky if he can pay the interest payments on it with what Twitter generates. More then likely all the people who went into Twitter with him will get deals on his other ventures and get their money back that way.
It used to be that children were the retirement plan, now that retirements are funded with pooled financial instruments that direct link has been severed. Now the benefit of educating children is pooled but the cost is individualized, some people are figuring that they can optimize their personal gain by minimizing their own investment in their children.
Great straw man, but luckily the solution is easy. Inform the restaurant to use one of the many dozens of menu services that are designed specifically with screen readers in mind. There are also PDF screen readers, but that's less ideal because the PDF needs to be designed with accessibility in mind.

Check out some free software titles on F-Droid. Shattered Pixel Dungeon and Minetest are a couple examples. Anuto TD is also a decent low-budget-feeling tower defense game (don't set your expectations too high).
That outcome seems rather unfavorable. It would undoubtedly raise doubts regarding the credibility of literally any video or audio content, invoking the "liars dividend” and benefiting the most untrustworthy more than any others.

Funnily enough I prefer reading the Barks and Rosa comics in german translations. One of the original translators put some wordplay and literary allusions into her translations – making them slightly different, but, I think, better:

This is what happens when you make the fresh college hire, who has only ever seen a /24, write your network interfaces. They just assume .0 and .255 are always special.

I say this because I was one of those people when I graduated. At our school every network was /24, so 0 and 255 were always reserved. It was a while before I learned about CIDR and how those addresses may not be reserved.
You can argue the same part for cars. First of all, cars do have speed limiters built into them, but they are a matter of power, not objective speed. It'd be hard for a car on the hardware level to figure out the latter (and there are already many debates as is about software controlling your car's hardware. I'll skip over that for now).

And secondly, that power is why it's hard to make this law: hills. What may be a limited max SPD of 80 on a flat plane can be below 60 on a steep hill, or over 100 going downhill. I believe that is why the compromise for a limiter is more around 120-130 MPH instead of something lower: it wants an average sedan to be able to not stall out going up a hill on a free way.

Now granted, that hasn't been an issue for almost 2 decades. But it still impacts how they limit car speeds.

I've thought about getting an old palm but still haven't yet but I have messed with emulators on my PC and phone. I have fond memories of using them as a teen. I'd love to have a cheap but good Dragonball based Palm and an ARM Palm to mess with and see if I could end up using them in my day to day somehow usefully.
Wow... Ottawa, again, had dialled the smog up to 11 according to Ontario's Air Quality folks. The fires still burn to the north and the wind's from the north again. Guess Canada will get blamed again if it reaches NYC.

Hopefully, they can get a handle on all of these fires before we have a summer of this sh*t.
It could be inflammation making the joints unhappy. You could do worse than get some blood tests done for CRP.
Bomb ownership is okay AFAIK. Intent to commit murder/terrorism/etc is not. You'd have to convince the police/jury though.
There are regulations to all lamps with light-emitting wolfram filaments. Last few years they may be sold only as "heaters". Today they are not only cannot be sold, but also there is a campaign of replacing them with LEDs.
At what point is replacing the self, no longer self? Hippocampal prosthesis already exist, dealing with memory encoding.
They are arbitrary in a way but remember that the people scanning over the resumes are not technical people, for them its important that a skill is there and thats about it. Finding a job is more about social skills than technical ones.

Just do what they ask and reprioritize yourself.
The "fuck you" isn't that they require you to login in order to view a page. It's that they tease you with the promise that you don't need an account, and when you try to take them up on that promise they slam the door in your face and say "nice try but you gotta create an account first".
Those seem like two very different definitions.

It is like saying the newspaper can just digitize the stories they were going to write anyway and keep selling the newspaper as they had before. That works until people stop buying the newspaper.

ChatGPT4 is better than any professor I ever had and it is not even close. Not to mention, the professors are not the ones who are going to get much better and smarter as time marches on from this point.

I am not even sure the credentialism from the Ivy league is going to make sense in an AI world.
Ironically, the widespread use of contraception and abortion means that women are much more likely to be used and abused, treated as objects, and discarded as disposable, rather than loved, respected, and cherished by men who are attracted to them.

They've claimed that this is their choice, that this is empowering, that the alternative was slavery and oppression, but I'm not sure how many sincerely believe those slogans.

This was all foreseen and predicted. The world was warned, but the world pressed on blindly.
I guess you could just be totally open about it, and change the wording to something like "the open-resume design already helped some people land positions at", then show the logos. That way you are being honest, and doesn't look like a direct endorsement from those companies. You get your logos for "marketing", and you are safe from misinterpretation. IANAL.
Any source on that?

I would guess it's more likely that the Slashdot moderation system is too hard to implement. It also requires a lot of finetuning (like how to determine how many moderation points to dole out to users based on their karma and activity). The Hacker News developers seem to prefer to keep things simple, so they might reject Slashdot-style moderation for being too complicated, but that doesn't mean they don't like it in principle.
Containers don’t solve anything, it’s not that the base image doesn’t need to get patched.

My argument is, it's a vastly underpowered system in terms of the filtering options available to users. Those things ought to remain available, but I wish it were easier to tell Youtube my goals for a browsing session and turn off porn mode.
I think GraphQL might be a good example. Some might not consider it to be very niche, but its intention is to consolidate dependent API queries such that the client can fetch all the data it needs in a single request. In both Zanzibar and GraphQL, the idea behind the schema/modeling language is to provide a layer where logic specific to relationships between data (in the case of GraphQL) or logic specific to authorization (in the case of Zanzibar) can be specified such that neither the server nor the client need to worry about it and can instead query for data in a simpler way.
If you ask someone they will give you their approximation of an answer. However if you told them if they would bet money on it, and promptly make them do so, you will find them saying IDK more frequently.

Even this, I wouldn't bet money on what I just said.
> their deeper purpose is to humiliate, shame, and objectify women

While I understand the desire to stamp-out the use of deepfakes to insert unsuspecting women into pornographic images and video, I feel at least as much energy should be spent in eliminating (or at least reducing) the harm that comes to women's reputations as a result.

The fact that a deepfake can humiliate and shame a woman and even cause her to lose her job and friends exposes a problem in our society that I feel is at least as problematic as that which would cause someone to create the deepfake in the first place.
I think people might be confused by your post. With an IPv4 /24 subnet, .0 and .255 are special (they are the network and broadcast addresses for a /24, respectively). When you use a different subnet mask, the network (first IP) and broadcast (last IP) addresses will shift.
