I'm originally from near Philadelphia and we played a variant of Handball where we'd bounce a racket ball off the ground onto the wall and then wait for it to hit the wall then back to the ground then the other would hit. It was sort of a made up version, very different from the hard ball straight at the wall with a glove that they play on the handball courts here in NYC.

The heavy policing approach of the War on Drugs era failed to slow dealers or decrease demand while overcrowding jails and disproportionately punishing people of color, studies show.

How much do you want to bet that these studies are completely fraudulent? Looking at the alzheimers research debacle academia has completely lost credibility. There are thousands of overly political and overzealous academics willing to lie or fudge the numbers to achieve political goals.

We really need to use the Grandma test for these things, does making something illegal make people do less of it? Yes, my grandma could have told you that. Guess what, we decriminalized drugs, users arent being punished. The users are now dying at record rates and more people are doing the drugs than ever!
I think sapience would be a better word than sentience. But with regards to the process talking to the crew I think the book explicitly said that it didn't have any sort of comprehension of what it was saying. I belive the Chinese room was an attack from rorschach similar to the perceived attack from humanity. basically it wanted to waste their time and energy on something pointless.
There's a terrible conflict of interest in my local deli, where the person taking my order also collects my money. Shocking that it's allowed.

I think what they're saying that the government will get a large amount back and you, personally, will get less than 1% back. So you would effectively be spending $99.99 on the book and the government would effectively be spending $45, as an example.

In reality: an AI bot watches the stream of twits, picks those that fit its narrative (preprompt) and tells the users what to think.
The problem is, which "database"? If you know the data is always going to be in the range of ~1TB, use Postgres or some other ACID database. But I don't know of any petabyte scale ACID compliant database.

Also I'm not sure if ACID is sufficient or not for banking systems.
Because you're lying about the claim being made. It is correct to say that Trump was elected by a minority of the total votes cast. It would be incorrect to say that he was elected by "some vanishingly small minority", but you're the only one saying that. Being elected by a minority is sufficient to sustain the claim that an institution is antidemocratic, particularly in an otherwise simple-plurality voting system. I'm sorry if there's some reality there you don't like.
Doing that on a nation state level means betting your economy on the algorithm always working correctly.

You also have to be resilient to attacks on your currency and an algorithm gives your oppponent certainty on how you will react. You need human control at some point.
That's because introversion/extroversion is really only one single axis. The Big 5 personality index includes 4 other axes: agreeableness, openness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism.

What you're discussing is only partially described by extroversion. Highly agreeable extroverts may not enjoy large group discussions because of the inherent conflict present when multiple people express opinions. Highly conscientious and low opennness introverts may not even like 1:1 discussions because they're so very sure that their existing opinions are the correct ones.

Humans are really bad at multi-axis categorization. We like things to be good/evil, black/white, etc. But anything worth categorizing almost certainly needs to be categorized across multiple indices.
Apart from limited resolution probably the biggest problem with AVIF: It doesn't support progressive decoding. Which could effectively cancel out its smaller file size for any web applications. AVIF only shows when it is 100% finished. See

This comparison video is admittedly a little unfair though, because AVIF would have easily 30% lower file size than JPEG XL on ordinary images with medium quality.
>> Greatness awaits those who find secret sauce and share the recipe.

Nope. Not in the copy copy copy cat work of software startups.

The idea behind your startup matters more than anything else.

Not convinced? Go ask the Winklevoss twins.

An amazing idea is a critical ingredient for startup success.

Only if you have a great idea does execution matter.

Success comes from the combination of great idea and great execution. Startup success requires both…. neither are optional.

So sure, share your secret sauce if you want competition from people who have only the execution side of the equation. And having only skill in execution is MOST software entrepreneurs.

Execution is the easy bit, compared to how devilishly hard it is to have a truly great idea.

if someone tells you that ideas don’t matter, that it’s execution that matters, ask them why they don’t create a really well executed startup selling dogshit and apple pies.

The idea is the critical ingredient.

If you aim to “make something people want” then you’d better have a great idea.
This feels pretty opposite to me. I mean sure UK is pretty privacy hostile in practice (CCTVs everywhere), but what does the US have for companies surveillance of people? How much of that data is legal for governments to buy? Maybe the US gov isn't spying on citizens, but how many 5-eyes partners are definitely sending data to them in proxy (by careful surveillance design)?

I guess my question boils down to what specifically does the US do right that the UK and Europe does worse?
All of the pixels were already taken by the time I tried, but I did an "error" pixel (11, 26) just for my own pleasure.

Somehow I got RGB(255, 50, 194), which is different from the value posted on the chart. Actually, I'm not sure how originally they got 0, since G comes from R and B, which are both positive, and the expression is multiplication and addition.

By analogy, what if I have multiple pairs of tin cans, where each pair of tin cans is connected by a string, and sell those pairs of cans to people so that they can have private conversations at a distance from one another.

If I provide privately owned physical infrastructure for protecting those strings and facilitating the routing of the strings am I obligated to make that available to the government for eavesdropping?
Every history book is a narrative.

Do you listen to:

The generals and presidents and industrialists?

or

The privates and citizens and workers?

Most of the narrative of WWII I learned in high school is built off of grains of truth, but other grains of truth are much more important, depending on where you live.

You learn that Japan surrendered because of the atom bombs, then you learn that they surrendered because the Soviets invaded Korea, then you learn that it's a combination of factors.

People want to hold a complete story in their heads, with a satisfying conclusion. If you can find someone or something to blame, that is a very satisfying conclusion. If you are fighting a fight, you will read that fight into all of the history you encounter.
Portugal tried it, and the number of addicts skyrocketed.

Suppose it's determined that the moral option is to lie to you or omit a differing viewpoint? Given what we've seen from tech moderator types, they have no issue branding their political adversaries as ontologically evil and would do anything to squash them.

I think you're a fool to let a black box determine your morals, especially one from SV.

It was worse in the case of early BIOS, which IBM made public in an instruction manual while keeping all relevant rights on distribution. I wonder why they did not publish it with a GPL or AGPL license, where they would keep commercial use to themselves.
It's a matter of taste, and ours differs. You can establish trust by going to GitHub, checking the code, and compiling it yourself. In my humble opinion, trust and taste aren't closely connected.
Investigative journalism, winding up in a newspaper, is indeed outdated. However, things like documentaries and videos and such are a modern way to use those skills
Not insane at all. Just think for a second: ehy would someone withhold a 0day?

I understand a 14 years old kid new to security doing this. But this guy is a pro, he knows the rules of responsible disclosure.

Why help Google? Because Google routinely reports 0days to apple, making their platform more secure for everyone.
> Unless you consider every viewpoint to be a kind of bias,

Yes.

> which is really stretching the term.

No.

There is an objective reality which we can only perceive subjective. We then get together as groups and agree upon what we're going to call "true", building upon what we've previously agreed was "true". This is bias.

But not all agreed "true" are equally accurate! Not all biases are as subjective as others.

So we can (and IMO should) recognize that we're all biased and we're all subjectively interpreting the objective reality, without embracing some kind of fatalism or post-modern idea that all subjective interpretations are equally valid.

I don’t think being sent a statement of account is what causes other nations’ countries to not get riled up culturally about tax. To the extent that a nation’s populace doesn’t get riled up about the taxes they pay, I think it is from a feeling of (a) representation and (b) the tax dollars being spent effectively.

In the US there is a feeling of lacking representation on both sides, which I suspect is due to corporate lobbying and the culture wars, and I think a feeling of ineffective spending, again I think due to lobbying, and also pork barrel projects.

I think the answer is to remove corporate lobbying and limit campaign spending.

Here is the template to write a news article...

State some facts as reported by others (never link to supporting documents only summarize them)

Quote from expert or eyewitness on why this is important

Quote from other expert why this might not be important (optional as this might make the story not truly news worthy)

State that confusing aspects of the story are "unclear"

Fill the rest of the story from articles on the same subject even if not related (link to your publication only)
> A photograph is supposed not to evoke but to show. That is why photographs, unlike handmade images, can count as evidence.

While this is mostly a good piece of writing, in the real world handmade images (and handwritten notes) are, like photographs, potentially evidence, and the issues raised with photographs are the reasons both photographs and hand-written/hand-drawn items (and all other physical items) as evidence tend to demand supporting (and admit opposing) testimonial and physical evidence of provenance (and, the physical evidence offered for this purpose has the same features, such that ultimately, it all rests on testimonial evidence of provenance.)

I also don't think the first parr of the sentence is true: pictures may be supposed to show, but pictures have been noted for their evocative power long before this piece was written—pictures are in certaim circumstances understood to show, and under other and frequently overlapping circumstances to evoke; there is certainly a common danger in mistaking evocative power for also indicating informative power, but few anywhere have denied the existence of the evocative power of photography.
Eh, not that harshly. Not that you should be miserable but that such a large event SHOULD have a large impact on you as a person and SHOULD maybe cause changes in how you live your life. You should still be treated with dignity and basic human decency unless and until you show yourself to continually harm others for selfish or negligent reasons. One bad action doesn't make you a bad person but it is still a bad action and that should be remembered.

Actions have consequences and we shouldn't try to hand wave those away because some people seem uninterested in going to therapy and dealing with the guilt they have. You can always do better, but that doesn't invalidate the bad.

People are complex, the world is not black and white, everyone is a huge story with complex rationalizations. Reflect on why you do things, reflect on how you affect those around you.

Surprised you're writing checks every week: I haven't written a check in years. ACH transfers, sure, but not physical checks.

I helped interview a front end developer who bragged about and insisted on hand-writing every bit of JavaScript so that we’d have the leanest possible website.

He did not make it past me.

Not that we don’t care about those things, but we have better uses for our time and money than implementing an in-house version of React. Also, our other engineers would probably have strangled him.
I am proud of Apple for doing this. I give the same praise to Signal for making the same decision.

Breaking encryption via backdoors is like a gift to organized crime.

Privacy is also crucially important if you want to maintain free societies long term. Same comment for free speech for public discourse.
Because water can just be manufactured? I don't understand your making that assumption when the states in the region, plus Mexico and Native tribes, are fighting over what's available.
The other problem is that for every "good" non-mainstream website there are like 4000 that are so much worse than the mainstream. It is a problem with scale. If everyone has a voice, without some metric to say who has authority, how do you pick the gem from the masses?

IMO this will not work. Serious drugs are absolutely a public health issue, and some public health issues have to be solved through civil and criminal laws. Drugs have to be approved by the FDA to be allowed to be sold, and the ultimate enforcement for this is civil and criminal law.

If we regulated fentanyl and meth like alcohol, we would have an absolutely enormous population of addicts, and even in a legal, regulated market, those addicts would resort to crime to pay for drugs.

Perhaps there is a better solution, but the best solution I know if is simply to much more aggressively enforce drug laws. Dealers of serious drugs should be facing major jail time, and even personal possession should be punished with significant jail time.
One huge issue of our age is blindly calling any research study “science” and ridiculing people who don’t accept the results.

Sorta like the article. Huh.
To continue with Kid's games, we used to play 'JailBreak' a kind of tag/capture the flag. you'd try to get your fellows, who were trapped out of jail, if you sneaked up and tagged them with your hand without getting tagged and captured. We played it in the evening sometimes. That was in suburban NJ near Philadelphia.
In the US, hearing aids are now available without a prescription or audiologist. From what I've been reading, some are quite good and others are crap, but perhaps you can find something reasonable.
Why blame intuit for our crappy tax policy? Sure, they might lobby for more complexity, but the legislators that we elected pass the laws.
Could you use a hybrid approach? Put hydrogen gas into a vacuum until the pressure the hydrogen exerted would offset the vacuum.
You're right; I could've said that without calling it "a BS sentiment".
I'm not sure where the skepticism for moon landings comes from, given the fact that the Soviets had the means (via a variety of mechanisms, from technical to HUMINT) to know if we faked it. They would have every motivation to "out" us in a UN session with Cuban-Missile-Crisis-like imagery.

A conspiracy between the powers to allow numerous US moon landings and returns to be faked while the Soviet program failed is beyond belief.
> I don't see why "open source" must imply that anyone should be allowed to fork the repo

Apart from 20+ years of historical use in that way?
Do you require examples of this library specifically or general examples of this happening?

If you are ok with general, the cases of Monkeypox not that long ago are an evident example. The reality of the matter is that it affected almost exclusively homosexual men, yet since that would have hurt LGBT sensitivities, it was often omitted and even campaigned against.
> having criteria for inclusion is not censorship

So if the State of Florida sets a criteria for inclusion for it's library collections of "not gay," then it's not censorship in your mind?

"Criteria for inclusion" and "censorship" are the exact same thing, the only difference between them is how the speaker feels about it.
"The diabolical criminals in power have done everything you say, but I quibble about the timeline you spoke of" is not a dunk like you might think.
Drug use was decriminalized in Portland OR by ballot measure, and it is not going well. Open air drug use, coupled with an increase in violence and crime have made being in large parts of downtown quite unbearable.

Filling prisons with drug users is probably not the answer, but just letting people do as they please because they are addicts with issues doesn't guarantee great outcomes either.
You're never going to get mass public support to decriminalize heroin and other hard drugs.
On the contrary. The URL you post here has been submitted to HN several times (plus my attempt to make the title a little catchier as I linked to the GitHub issue #28, which I titled “Don’t add website DRM to Chrome” in a defensible attempt to expand the title the best I credibly could under HN rules - the issue title is just “Don’t.”)

These all died in obscurity. This blog post by contrast had a catchy title that HN actually engaged with, and as such is measurably superior.

Blame dang & co, for making forum software in which blogspam is the only way to add comment or meaningfully add context and editorialize. (Since blogspam is officially discouraged I’d say the software is not fit for purpose.)
TL;DR: This is ChatGPT + TypeScript.

I'm totally happy to be able to receive structured queries, but I'm also not 100% sure TypeScript is the right tool, it seems to be an overkill. I mean obviously you don't need the power of TS with all its enums, generics, etc.

Plus given that it will run multiple queries in loop, it might end up very expensive for it abide by your custom-mage complex type

Similar. I wrote a program to emulate a the logon text on a PDP-11 terminal in high-school in the mid-80s and steal a bunch of student passwords. Didn't do anything with them. They were like "trophies."

Nevertheless, the computer teacher found out and had mercy on me. He gave me a project to work on to help him compile stats on a student survey. He was a nice guy.

> What do you feel when you want some fresh air and install a new browser, but feels the same

If the developers didn't do that, then you'd have more than a few users complaining that it's not like browser x so it sucks.

As for functions that disappear, I wonder if those are functions that the devs discovered (via telemetry or some other magic) that a majority of users didn't take advantage of. Why maintain them when most people don't use them?
Nowadays I outsource my tax prep to a professional, but I’d still be happy if this system can serve the folks with the easiest-to-file taxes. I don’t even care about the economic ROI, it just seems like a nice thing to have in a relatively wealthy country, like parks or libraries.
Intuit is directly responsible for a long and aggressive lobbying effort to keep tax filing expensive and privately run.
