I'm surprised no one from this community has decided to take on PW management as a problem. Is there some underlying complexity outside of cross-browser support for autofill functionality, and the security aspect? It seems a relatively straight-forward problem to solve if you're a dev in the security space, but maybe I'm missing something. It also seems like there's only a minimum set of features that people are really wanting, and 1Password has seemingly arbitrarily decided to remove those features. Why not just fill the gap in the market and make bank?
> That’s patently untrue. We saved tens of thousands of dollars in the interest pause alone.

The interest/payments pause is not the same thing as the student loan forgiveness plan. They're entirely different things.
Maybe it’s because MathJax loading slow would delay rendering, and using a CDN-hosted MathJax increases the chance the content is cached?

That’s usually why people use CDNs. It’s more important for MathJax than, say, interactive scripts, since it can cause rendering.

I don’t think MathJax loads any additional files (I don’t remember seeing any additional network requests).
I don't know if it was requested by Musk, but the legend goes that George Hotz made the login popup dismissable in december last year.

You could always see a direct tweet without login, but his change made it possible to also see timelines or tags or use search.

Which is apparently being reverted now.
This could be solved by the app developers paying Reddit a portion of what they collect from the users. If Reddit wants $5/mo for each third-party app user, then the app developers could charge what they want above that amount. e.g., Apollo could charge $7.99/mo, of which Reddit gets $5.00 and Apollo gets $2.99 minus Apple’s App Store cut. Different developers could charge different amounts based on the value they provide, but Reddit would get the same amount per user from every app developer.
Indeed, there are terrible actors in this space, but they're not one of them. See above response.
> Thirteen years later, that's my default plan. There’s just too much downside for me to get distracted with others’ opinions of my opinions. [1] It's not that I'm afraid of expressing my opinions. I just think, "Why bother?"

Is it really true that she's not afraid though? It's a perfectly natural & understandable reaction to be afraid of the internet mob shouting you down.

The reason I ask is bc we should be honest about the problem, so that we can solve it.

Perhaps the solution is to teach the good, sensitive people around us how to have thicker skin, so they don't have as strong of an emotional reaction to internet backlash. But, detaching yourself from ego is actually a really hard skill to teach & learn. It almost seems like a hopeless endeavor when you're talking about creative people who are already very busy.
> YouTube, streaming services, etc. provide you a service in exchange for you also allowing ads to be loaded on your computer.

Users don't 'allow' anything: YouTube send data, the owner of the receiving device can choose what to do with that data (modulo copyright infringement, hate speech laws, etc.).

YouTube's business model is to bet that adspace included alongside videos can be sold for a profit. The price they can charge for that adspace depends on market conditions, which includes factors like the prevalence of adblocking. Blocking ads is not 'stealing', in the same way that using coupons isn't 'stealing'.

> YouTube has every right to try to punish this behavior or stop providing their service to you - such as by blocking ads, or even by deleting your account.

Obviously. That's why it's never 'your' account; it's owned by them, they can do what they want (modulo copyright infringement, hate speech laws, etc.).
Well fuck, if some old book makes the rules for who we can discriminate against, I guess that makes it okay!

An interesting counterpoint is that these people are pushing science and engineering forward, and are risking their own time, money and lives in the process. Attempting to rescue them seems like a fair trade.

> Red Hat got blue washed

I'm not sure I understand the term. Wikipedia says, "Bluewashing is term used to describe deceptive marketing that overstates a company's commitment to responsible social practices. It can be used interchangeably with the term greenwashing but has a greater focus on economic and community factors."

If I follow your usage, you're saying that Red Hat states they are committed to the ethics and social responsibilities of FOSS and the GPL but the actual practices violate those factors. If they are using GPL code but not releasing their code, then I would tend to agree, but IANAL.

Can you clarify a bit?
Overall looks cool, but how does its implementation of IRC compare to other clients? How about support for extensions like XDCC?
Can you explain why this burned so much goodwill?

Apollo is a for-profit app. They are using reddits technology, servers, and users for free to make money off their own advertisements.

Reddit isn't "losing" any money by losing apollo users, since it wasn't making any money in the first place.

This seems like a billing dispute between two companies, not a user issue. Reddit also announced that modtools will be allowed to use the API free of charge.

At the end of the day, most people log in to reddit once or twice a month. Those are the users that are being targetted by advertisers anyways. The power users and terminally online moderating staff are more of a headache for reddit than a benefit.
That was a very short time limited emergency program. It's not a good analogy to blanket forgiveness. If this had somehow targeted some weird thing from the pandemic (paying some kind of reparations to students who were in college during '20 and '21 and had their experiences totally screwed up?) then it would be a better analogy.
They might like the work.
What are the minimum features you need to be satisfied?

For me, it's the password generator, easy tagging/search, and the autocomplete in form inputs. I also like the multiple content types (sw licenses, passwords, random other info, credit cards, etc.). I don't need really anything else.
> 4 in 5 tech execs are taking medications ("controlled substances"), and among that cohort 1 in 2 use them "every day or nearly every day."

Is not what the survey said.

The survey said (direct link: https://apn.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/APN-Tech-Execs-Mi... ):

80% are taking medications but doesn’t say only controlled medications.

It then says 48% take controlled substances daily or every other day.

It also states 31% have increased their controlled substances as a direct consequence of AI, which I find suspect.
I would love to also know how many tech execs meditate to extend creativity.

We have long since endeavored to push the boundary on creativity and performance - from pills to sensory deprivation tanks, to extreme adventure to BM like experiences.

You can club a wide range of things under pills. Supplementation is an essential part of health and without concrete stats and evidence this is just sensationalism.

Would be super interested in knowing though - How much of the community here leans in on pills vs supplements vs meditation?
At some point, the only option left will be to bake the ads into the video, so they can neither be skipped nor blocked.

I assume the only reason this isn't done is dynamic insertion, but at some point the CPU horsepower necessary to do that on-demand will be available.
The internet is a mob and the current social networks make taking out pitchforks as easy as clicking a button, and are happy to amplify the outrage.
Just so things are clear, France is suspending all bus services in cities at night. Buses generally run city to suburbs routes and have been subjected to attacks for the past few nights. Trains, which are the most used form of public transport in France, are still running.

France currently has an issue with very young protesters (mostly teenagers) burning public infrastructures. Violence is still fairly limited. Riots might be a big word for what is happening.
> or come up with a different method

Let me introduce you to Paying for the services you use™
Interesting.

I've had thoughts in the same general area; there are things I will not discuss on the internet.

This connects all of those thoughts, and gives me some new insights that I didn't previously have.
"As the sun set on a sleepy evening, all across town the washing machines waited to make their move."

Loved this site. Gave me a really nostalgic feeling of the web from 2010 era. Early social media.
Foundations aren't too great; although you can maybe give a couple administrative jobs to your relations, ultimately the bulk of money still has to go to nonprofits, and a foundation faces additional taxes and administrative fees that e.g. a donor advised fund doesn't.
> You can certainly replace most hooks with static return values.

"most" is not good enough. The idea of PFP is precisely that there is no exception, otherwise all guarantees are void. If I cannot rely on an expression to be referential transparent, then it means I have to look into to find out - and with that, the advantage of PFP goes through the window.

> The order of hooks matter in the same way that the order of IO binds or the order of Futures/Promises awaits.

The difference is that if you create an effect in a PFP style (like in Haskell), the effect itself doesn't do anything. You can now combine that effect with another effect in some way, e.g. by sequencing, which means first effect A and then afterwards effect B is executed. Yes. But what you get back is, again, an effect that doesn't do anything. So what you need to do is to build a datastructure of effects.

Do you do that with hooks? I don't think so. With hooks, you call one, then call another, and yeah, the result depends on the order just like with an effect monad like IO. But the difference is that once the line of code that calls the hook is executed, something happens and the world has changed. This is not true when you can the line of code that builds the datastructure for the effect execution.

You would have handle hooks like promises for this to work in a PFP way. But maybe I misunderstand and you can clarify it with a code example?

Otherwise, I just think it's about terminology. I agree that there is a relation between the two things, but we shouldn't give it the same name, because it is still not the same concept.
I don't think content creators can choose not to have ads in their videos. Creators can turn off monetization, but YouTube can still play ads, they just won't pay the creator.

https://www.makeuseof.com/youtube-ads-without-paying-creator...

I do agree with your general point. Creators can choose to show less ads, and we should prefer channels that choose to monetize less.

EDIT: I'm no longer sure whether YouTube is displaying ads when you do this. The wording I found in their help pages is ambiguous. I think they reserve the right to display video ads if monetization is off, but they are not displaying ads (currently).

I see lots of people standing up for good principles. The status quo is trying to cash in on complacency, but IMO it's just a catalyst for good things to come. People that know why they picked RHEL also know why they will be moving on.
Glass is mostly transparent to microwaves, which is why all microwave ovens include glass plates.

The reason why glass vessels become hotter in a microwave oven is because glass has a much higher thermal conductivity than plastic, so it becomes heated from the hot food.

Using two pieces of cloth (e.g. cut from a small towel) to hold the hot glass vessel is enough to take it safely out of the oven and this negligible inconvenience matters much less than the undesirable effects of heating food in a plastic vessel.
Sure but separation can be a harsh punishment or a caring and comfortable place. Some countries do the latter and have lower recidivism rates.
So, firstly, because that assumes that a successful university has some sort of secret sauce that makes it better at education than others, which it can apply to more students. They don't. Everyone knows how to run a university. Success is basically a coordination game, where you win by owning the point where the top 0.01% of students and top 0.01% of academics want to go. By definition, that doesn't scale.

Secondly, they have. It's now quite common for UK universities to have spin-off campuses a long way from their original sites:

The limiting factor has always been access to expensive scientific equipment to actually run the experiment, then access to a reputible publishing channel.

Scientific lab equipment, a las, is still a field ripe for more work on democratization. Mind, even that suffers from things like the War on Drugs making possession of lab paraphenalia (accurate scales, glassware, and other things needed for taking accurate/controlled measurements) a risky proposition. In fact, one could say, the System is tilted against the Citizen Scientist unaffiliated with an organization from the get-go.
It is indeed a problem but I don't think things will get better or that they neccessarily should.

Occult knowledge was always in the hands of the few and seekers had to go through trials to gain it.
For now you can still use old.reddit.com.

The federal government could do this in the form of a check in the mail once you provide your credit card statement. For the purposes of the argument, I don't see why it would matter if the individual actually uses it to pay the debt or not. It has the same affect on their ability to cope with the struggle that parent poster was referring to, and it costs the same to the taxpayer. (Although, I'm sure that they could make some kind of law to accomplish this.)

But this is going into the weeds and not really addressing the point of the argument.
Sage.

Also, a microcosm of this that applies in our daily life is how we interact with our coworkers. Do we build a positive environment where we nurture people to ask questions, propose ideas, and enrich the conversations around us? Or do we try to one up each other, deride ideas, and ridicule those less knowledgeable than we are?

There’s truly something to be said about assuming good intent on everyone’s behalf. What JL describes here is what happens when that collapses.
I'm assuming you're not watching American football. That has become so much 'the game is filler between the ads' that they stop the live game in the stadium (TV timeout) so as not to annoy people being fed ads watching it on TV.
The past was awful for lots of reasons of course, but one was that we just weren’t very productive. We’re pretty productive nowadays. We could at least try a system where there’s enough stuff, but we find it naturally or by carefully weighing the pros and cons.
I believe your view is wrong. That plumber you talk about benefits from an educated society. We all benefit from this. Was it unfair to polio victims that future generations benefited from the polio vaccine? It’s ok when bad policies get fixed even though some are alive that were harmed by the bad policy.

Of course the debt doesn’t magically disappear. It’s an investment into the nation to have an educated country. That investment pays dividends. It’s better to spend the money on this investment than bombs, militarized police, and a host of other programs.
Yes, we would assume here that bacon means pork belly bacon. The reason nitrates are such a big deal with American bacon is that they're an important part of the flavor of the bacon (nitrates create "hammy" flavor). If there's genuinely un-cured pork loin "bacon" in Germany or New Zealand or whatever, that's great, but it's a less interesting claim than that there's real nitrate/nitrite-free American bacon (I don't believe there is).
Paper clip optimizers always need a secondary (and often dubious) physical element to pose an actual threat, like grey goo or nanomachines or strange matter.
It's been a long time since I spent my time on that, so I do not remember anything specific. But it was difficult figuring out reliably if a post in a given feed matched an already existing (locally cached) post, whether it was an updated version of that post, or whether if it was a completely new, hitherto unseen post, so it had something to do with the post IDs, timestamps and URLs.
Do any HN constitutional scholars or lawyers who work in adjacent fields have any comments on the ruling? Having only read the introduction (which by definition is not a comprehensive argument, so I acknowledge that I'm drawing conclusions based on an incomplete understanding of the ruling), my intuition tells me the standing sub-decision could be abused by states, and the textually oriented picking-apart of the SecEdu's stance struck me as - forgive my ignorance, but - arbitrary and borderline petulant.

FWIW, I'm _not_ interested in discussing this from a socio-political standpoint. I'm just curious to hear opinions about the ruling from a legal perspective.
Neat. Not sure why H10 is needed though I know it is supposedly the most accurate strap to date (by like how much over others tho?)

Sensible policies for a sensible society.
In fact, the US Department of State recommends that all US citizens have a photocopy of their passport with them, when traveling abroad.

Supposedly you get in shorter lines at the consulate if you have at least a photocopy of your passport available. You should be able to petition the consulate of your home country to issue you a new passport.

I think it may be illegal, but I've heard from people who travel to places where it's sketchy for Americans to travel, that they report their passport as destroyed, get a second copy issued, then keep the first one.

The reasoning is that certain immigration departments see red flags if they see visa stamps from certain other countries, and you may get grief for having visited them. Cuba and the US used to be one, but cross-border rivalries are another. Knowing who hates who and presenting the right passport to receive the stamp would save you grief. Also if you encounter corruption/extortion you can schedule the next flight out and run.

With the electronic ones now I don't know how many places that still works.
Yep, I've also commented on how harmful ads seem to be more common on YouTube compared to Instagram and Facebook. Maybe Facebook use more human reviewers in smaller regions compared to Google? Maybe Facebook have better data due to their social network? Idk but the YouTube ads in my country are also shockingly bad compared to YouTube in the US.
I have not ever been drunk.

I grew up in a small white trash family who lived on an indian reservation. So I had front-row seats to all of the spectacular consequences of alcohol overindulgence, both in my own family and in my community.

Yeah, that certainly tainted my perspective on the pros and cons of drinking.

I'm humble and rational enough to acknowledge that me drinking would probably bring more negatives into my life than positives.
YouTube Premium is one the best deals in tech. For 10/mo you get a functionally infinite content library that's refreshed every day, and you never see an ad.
Those people are more valuable:

People who react with antipathy to ads have been removed, increasing the value of the brand messaging by negating brand damage in large-scale ad campaigns.
ASML Statement on Dutch government's export control regulations announcement
If you're an American and you rent an apartment, the local police keep your passport until you leave. You keep a xerox. That's how it was at the time. I don't know if that's still the case.

I didn't feel good about it when I found out (actually, the moment I signed the lease), but there was nothing I could do about it.

My exit from Vietnam was almost humorous. I had about 50 DVDs in my suitcase, mostly encrypted backups and burned movies, and every single one was inspected by sight, holding it up to the light (to see how far the burn went?), then left on the floor of the airport for me to pick up. Upon re-entering the US, the customs officers did almost the same thing, and then just confiscated all my discs.

Weirdly, no one on either side checked my laptop.
IMHO burning schools, libraries and buses is violence.

This essay reminds me of a great example from pg himself of being silenced for his views, his essay "Hijacking is Buffer Overflow"

http://www.paulgraham.com/hijack.html

He published this immediately after the 9/11 attacks to promote lisp as a solution for similar terrorist attacks.

I don't know what the backlash was exactly but he apparently felt ashamed enough about voicing these suggestions that he de-listed the article. But he still cares enough about their insight to keep the article available as an isolated undiscoverable island of a URL. It shows that feeling a sense of shame (from public reaction) can be overridden by the power of personal conviction, even if the result is a silencing they don't agree with.

I'm sure this 9/11 experience was fresh in their minds when this follow up essay was written. It's the only actual example I know of from them on this topic, it's evident it personally touched their family.
IBM = big blue. Red Hat were bought by IBM a few years back.
It disappeared because they changed the game to require more grinding and more hassle. They tweaked the skinner box to the point people weren't excited to play it, so they stopped.
I agree. Eventually companies become so big that not using them is, in D&D terms, a -2 to all stats for your entire life.

I mean, in exchange for giving them so much money that its gravitational field warps all of democracy, can we not get a little customer service when needed?
So Twitter is behind login wall(?)
Hi,

I noticed that twitter content is behind login wall (embed content is fine, so far).
I mean that I can't see tweets on twitter if I'm not logged - it kicks me to login page.

Still a thing – sure. But the company's valuation, hiring and forecasts were all done when everyone was playing Pokemon Go. That's obviously not the reality today.
