Folks mistakenly associate "breaking" with "not being completely compatible with an illegal streaming website with improper TLS/cyphers." That's just an example but you know what I mean.

Those are the types of websites that have issues with firefox, because mozilla maintains it's own root trust store held to various standards/compliances, and many..less savory web addresses use not HTTPS content on their HTTPS pages.

This is a feature/value added bonus, but because it "breaks" sites for people....back to chrome.
Surely the govt should step in and say that if you are charging extra for electronic vs paper, that's illegal?
I do agree with this criticism. There are impactful things that go unrewarded because of org mismatch and that's dumb. My team has been affected by this very problem and it is very frustrating to look at a list of things that I know to be very valuable and be told "don't do that, it is misaligned with org priorities."

But this is "some impactful stuff is unrewarded" rather that "hard stuff that isn't impactful is rewarded", which was the complaint in the post above mine.
I recommend turning on Show Dead as well, some of the most insightful commenters show up there. It's not a quality filter as much as a d*ng flavor

Other than that, for web functionality, they're identical! ;-)

Then of course there's the ability to supplement authentication on the backend, detect file uploads for background processing, etc. All of which are outside the scope of FastCGI.

But you don't care for Lambda. That's fine. You do you.
The Kibbutzes are indeed communes, but they cannot sustain themselves. They exist on subsidy from the state, funded by taxing the capitalist part of the economy.

Is the financial institution made up of separate legal entities which bill each other for services, and does one of those entities provide tech infra for the other legal entities?

Their FAQ states they'll backport security fixes under the old license until the end of 2023.

What monoculture? There is an incredibly rich ecosystem of Chromium forks, all playing with different ideas for how the web should work. There's a nice, clean, stable base for people to work with, and extend upon. This seems like the ideal scenario.
The list is probably as long as it is because shady sites keep on changing names (for obvious reasons).
I am indeed only address the point about the programming model. In react, state and bindings are one and the same (using useState). In mine, your class is the binding to the element, render is only called once and you're free to subscribe to any on* events back to your class functions you wish. onclick="this.click" just works in my world. You need a bit more than the 5 lines I showed but it's trivial. No shadow-dom, no reconciliation, no unnecessary blowing away of elements at all, and no reparsing the tree.
What Firefox definitely offers is uBlock Origin on Android. Augment it with anti-paywall blocklists and the experience is basically a killer feature for Android over iOS. I use Chrome on desktop (mostly for better sandboxing) but on mobile there is no real competition between Firefox and Chrome: Firefox just wins.
Google Opt Out Feature Lets Users Protect Privacy by Moving to Village [video]
Common Lisp gives you this choice (this being HN, a Lisp mention is obligatory :-)

The CL function #'rational converts a float to a rational assuming the float is completely accurate (i.e. every decimal digit after the last internally-represented one is assumed to be 0), while #'rationalize assumes the float is only accurate to the limit of float precision (i.e. the decimal digits after the last internally-represented one can be anything that would round to the last one).

Both functions preserve the invariant that

(float (rational x) x) == x

and

(float (rationalize x) x) == x

...which is another way of saying they don't lose information.

In practice these tend to be not very useful to me because they don't provide the ability to specify which decimal digit should be considered the last one: They take this parameter from the underlying float representation, which sometimes causes unexpected results (the denominator can end up being larger than you expected) because the input number can effectively have zeros added at the end if the underlying float representation is large enough to capture more bits than you specified when you typed in the number.

In addition, what I really need much of the time is the ability to limit the size of the resulting denominator, like "give me the best rational equivalent of 0.142857 with at most a 3-digit denominator". That function is not built in to Common Lisp but one can write it using the methods in TFA. It loses information of course so a round trip from float->rational->float won't necessarily produce the same result.

Yea, you're making a few bad assumptions here.

Just in imaginary numbers lets say the gambling market goes from 1 billion to 10 billion dollars per year, but 100 billion dollars of investment money comes in. Those groups with bad capitalization plans are going to fail to earn a return, but make no mistake the market has made more profit than ever before. The weak competitors eventually lose leaving a few mega companies raking in the profit.
Unless they get $0.25 back, then they'll even walk it back to the store!

I worked with K8s professionally for several years but thanks for assuming I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Yes, they're obviously different classes of systems, but not in the ways that matter for this discussion. If the question is whether or not you can design a hosting platform with secure defaults and managed/tightly-scoped communication between applications, the answer is plainly yes. Is Sandstorm as scalable and fault tolerant as Kubernetes? Obviously not.

Ask HN: Best resource on international history of space exploration
Hi, I know there are a lot of space fanatics here. I'm looking to understand the international dynamics of space exploration. For example, being in US we talk a lot about the Apollo missions and Kennedy but I know that the USSR was doing a lot of stuff at the same time. I also want to learn how the years afterwards have panned out. For example, it seems like Japan currently sends out a lot of probes.

You possibly haven't experienced how devious and determined and dishonest and unpleasant some bad actors are, including SPAMmers.

(Even when doing the RightThing(TM) would probably be easier...)

And, BTW, I occasionally get blocked by the mechanisms here, even though not doing anything bad, but understand that there is a trade-off.
Why is the list kept secret / not published? (it's the same thing)

For one, I wonder if there are certain news sites that are legit but ideals don't align.

Or are they ALL spam sites? Who knows, we can't inspect it.

Fight bad speech with more speech. Spam is the exception, but are they all just spam sites?
Somewhat ironically, given how much we talk on this site about FOSS, HN categorically is not FOSS and it does not pretend to be. There are many little behaviors (such as quiet score adjustments) that the admins put in place in order to avoid the Eternal September. If those behaviors were public knowledge, I imagine that they wouldn't really work.

If news like this bothers you, well, then stop giving HN your traffic and go use Lemmy instead :)
Dang, I really admire Orwell, he was such an excellent writer.
I liked this line the best:

>But at least let us have no more nonsense about defending liberty against Fascism. If liberty means anything at all it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.

The author of the article's commentary says it all:

>Many of us might also find key points of comparison between his situation and the shrill calls for censorship that we hear so often today.
My first assumption was that this wouldn't need to be more than a text adventure, so my first thought was Twine. But LLMs are literally language-based and (near)-infinitely flexible, and many already are capable of Toki Pona. There are some incredibly elaborate LLM games driven by a single prompt.
AI? They are quoting Wikipedia articles in those little pop-ups.

I doubt that’s what would happen if they could afford a license from Hashicorp.

Avoiding proprietary licenses has its place but if you aren’t using terraform to build a product this really shouldn’t impact you much.

Quick AI Rundown
1. Robomart is developing self-driving stores that can be summoned to customers' homes or businesses. The company is banking on the concept of "store-hailing," which is similar to ride-hailing services like Uber and Lyft. Customers can use the Robomart app to order items from a variety of stores, and the Robomart will then drive to the customer's location and deliver the items.

2. Netflix and Walmart are offering six-figure salaries for AI jobs, reflecting the growing demand for AI talent and the importance of AI technology. Netflix is offering up to $900,000 for a product manager position, while Walmart is offering up to $288,000 for a director of retail media AI.

3. Anthropic, an AI startup co-founded by former OpenAI leaders, raises $100M from SK Telecom. The funding will be used to develop Anthropic's large language model (LLM) technology, which can be used for a variety of applications, such as generating text, translating languages, and writing different kinds of creative content.

4. Microsoft Azure ChatGPT is a private and secure version of ChatGPT that is hosted on Microsoft Azure. It offers the same features as the public version of ChatGPT, but it is hosted on Microsoft Azure, which provides a secure and reliable environment for running AI workloads. Azure ChatGPT is also more tightly integrated with Microsoft Azure services, making it easier for enterprises to integrate it into their existing applications and workflows.

5. A recent study by BlackBerry found that 75% of businesses are implementing or considering bans on ChatGPT, a generative AI tool that can be used to create realistic and engaging text. The study, which polled 2,000 IT decision-makers in Australia, Japan, France, Germany, Canada, the Netherlands, the US, and the UK, found that businesses are concerned about the risks associated with ChatGPT, including data security, privacy, and brand reputation.

6. Amazon is using AI to summarize product reviews. The AI will create short paragraphs summarizing key features and customer sentiment in product reviews. This will help customers get an overview of reviews without reading them all. AI technology is still under development, but Amazon says it can already generate accurate and informative summaries.

7. Snapchat engineer Kyle Goodrich has designed an AI camera that uses Stable Diffusion to turn photos into AI art. The camera, called DreamGenerator, has 30 different themes that users can choose from, such as retro, sci-fi, zombie, and pirate. The camera then uses Stable Diffusion to transform the photo into a work of art in a matter of seconds.

Most cement (not all of concrete, just the cement part) passes through a ball mill during manufacture. Mining operations that are followed by chemical separation usually have a ball mill step. That gives a sense of the scale of the ball milling industry.

Replacing the steel or iron balls is easy. Replacing the drum liner plates is also required, maybe every six months. The plates un-bolt.

More than you wanted to know about ball mills [1]

Uh... what? You can totally do that easily. Not that you should, but this isn't harder to do in HTMX.
Anecdote: I tried that back in the Netcaptor days but it didn't really stick (or something like it, anyway). Having to read a long list isn't particularly fast for me, personally, so I just use a combination of multiple windows (one per context, and easy to switch between on Mac) and the search engines feature (where you can make custom keyword lookups for Wikipedia, Stackoverflow, etc.) to quickly look things up. Chrome also has collapsible tab groups and pinnable tabs now, but it's not particularly great.

I never have more than 4 or 5 tabs open at a time, closing them as I'm done with them. If I need to recover them later they're always in the history.

I'm sure Firefox and other browsers offer some power user features that's good for some folks. I just don't care enough.

As a user I just want to see the information I need without tinkering with settings, and Chrome does that well. As a web dev I'd much rather focus on UX than cross browser compatibility, and the Blink/Webkit duopoly makes that possible in a way that standards never did (and still don't). So there's just no need for Firefox in my personal or work life. YMMV of course.
Not necessarily addicts. You don’t have to be addicted to achieve psychosis you just need to take a certain amount. For me this amount is pretty small, I was prescribed adderal for awhile and even 20mg was enough to induce serious paranoia and the occasional hallucination
"Real" cellular phone numbers are a very finite pool and require nontrivial amounts of money, a physical phone (with a burned-in hardware identifier), an in-person interaction, and government ID that validated against a state database.

You'd think so, but no.

I signed up for T-Mobile service early this year with no ID, and paid cash.

The store is so eager to complete the transaction that it keeps a government ID document in a drawer and the sales people whip it out whenever anyone looks queasy about providing information.

I didn't resist giving my information. All I did was pause because I wasn't sure if I brought my ID with me. Even that little hesitation was enough for the clerk to say, "Don't worry about it. I got you covered" and he pulled out the ID.

So I have a T-Mobile account that I can pay for with cash and no ID on file, and someone else's address.

Now, if a government was really interested in me, it could probably pull the security camera video or follow the signal around or whatever. But it turns out that KYC is easily bypassed when the incentives are right.

It's important to note that Orwell was a socialist. But he was an intellectually honest one. He pointed out the potential pitfalls of his values, as a means to seek a means to overcome them.

(asserting my own beliefs now) The fact that most of a century has passed during which we've seen those pitfalls repeated many times since, and no effective mechanism for protecting against them has surfaced, I think that the project of socialism must be abandoned.
> hah no. The billionaire claim was bull used to promote himself and his businesses.

Granted, but as we have seen with these exit scams you don't need to be operating a cash or crypto positive business in order to run off with people's funds.

All of these leaks and loans etc... were likely him siphoning funds if/when he was eventually caught. I still think it takes a certain kind of crook to setup shop in the Bahamas, purchase an immensely ostentatious home, make your sexual proclivities known to the World while splashing money around to make politicians make favourable legislation for your crooked business, stream yourself playing video games while doing pitches to VCs and getting them, all while talking about effective altruism and guaranteed yield and none of that has to do with being business savvy and everything to do with be a grifter.

This is mad take. Also, putting junk that nyt writes together with Reuters is just wrong.
It's pure rent-seeking behaviour of entrenched organisations.

They outsource a lot of their stuff to India, and ask for a 3500$ fee in return to host it open-access, or ask everyone who wants to see it 50-90$ but then they'll publish it for 'free'.

Reviewers are unpaid academics, authors are unpaid academics, editors are badly paid Indians. The only ones profiting from this are the people owning the publishers.

Look up some publishers parking lots on google street view. Springer for example has a Porsche sitting right in front of the building.
Why allow ads for it at all?

If someone desperately wants to gamble, they should be able to find them. If all the industry is doing is meeting an otherwise unmet vice demand, fine, okay, whatever, it's better than mob-ran gambling rings, but why on earth should we allow it to manufacture demand?

An argument can be made that a world where someone who is hell-bent on gambling being allowed to legally gamble is better than one where he isn't. Fine.

But what argument can be made that a world where more people are gambling is better than a world where fewer people are gambling? Why encourage it? Who benefits from installing heroin vending machines in schools?

It’s certainly a better use of resources and time than a pre-med curriculum that gets repeated in the first 2 years of medical school anyway.
