Yes, I read that.

I think that if you're making mission-critical systems rely on nonguaranteed behavior from systems you don't control, then it's a Bad Idea.

If you're using Debian, you can apt-install the debian-history package, which will put some nice HTML files in your /usr/share/doc/debian-history directory outlining the history of the project!
I've heard back from AT's webmaster who writes in part "use of the archive by Hacker News regulars for piracy is problematic" and that it's "gone too far".

Which was not quite what I'd expected.

Interesting. I might try to get this to work on my NAS.
Google is already open to web installs, in the sense that any user who wants to play the game can download the apk and install it on most Android phones without issue.

But that doesn't mean people will actually do so. E.g. if most installs stem from Google promoting the game on the Play Store, using only a website also means losing out on that free publicity. (Or not-free, since Google takes a cut.)
It's a slot machine in aesthetics only. A klondike solitaire game is as much of a slot machine as this game - you shuffle the deck and hope that the order of the cards is just right that you're able to complete all of the foundations. You make occasional decisions along the way but it's ultimately just luck of the draw.

I would argue that this game has more agency and skill involved than your average klondike game, actually. Banning shit purely based on the aesthetics is really dumb, particularly when other games get away with having similar aesthetics in their games _including the one that is a direct rip-off of this one!_
I mean it still seems like a bad idea
one time I worked at a company that shipped an app with a version of this bug that caused people to charge money to the wrong individual, because sometimes the buttons would shuffle right before the click
Yeah I’m sorry, even as a person living in the western world, I would not want to live in a world with a defined “morally correct” group of decision makers. Countries vary. Cultures vary. It really is OK.

You can make the argument that big tech is already that, but clearly they respect local laws.

You were comparing this to the Nuremberg trials. That’s mostly where my disagreement lies. Beyond over-exaggerated.
The world population also had an attachment to its land but were uprooted and transported and mingled and spread all over the world and has resulted in significant economic development. Get on with the program , it is the new reality.
this is a complete non-sequitur, But even in a gerogist land-value tax system doesnt solve the problem of government seizure.

Somone can be paying the full rent unimproved value of their land, and the government might decide to void their lease and turn over all of their land, improvements, and work to someone else.

The only thing that stops this is if governments respect the contracts they enter into, be they established property rights (in our system), or land lease contracts (in a Georgist system).
You know the rest of the world subsides pretty much everything except food for Americans via cheap manufacturing labor, right? Why shouldn't the rest of the world get its due?

I made a website promoting colon cleansing products back in 2006, and it made high 5 figures/month for close to 3 years. Had a chance to sell it for half a million near 2010, but stupidly didn't. I had to shut it down a few years later

Not at all. Jews in NYC have a distinct culture, as do Ethiopians in DC, as do Vietnamese in Houston, as do Chinese in San Francisco. It's not "Epcot for plebes" as you so pejoratively state, it's diaspora adapting to local conditions and selectively integrating to create something actually new, unique and interesting.

You can drive across whole swathes of country where small towns are hard to tell apart both visually and culturally. I can say with zero irony that the most interesting distinction between a lot of small towns in Texas, Missouri and Oklahoma is which style of barbecue they feature, and if you're not into cowboy shit or outdoor activities your options are limited (if there are any at all).
Can agree that opinions may vary. I was older than the target demographic in the 2010's, yet still bought one because of slightly younger friends. In airports it was great for layovers, because there would be 100's of travelers all doing the piece trading games. Occasionally amusing when a kid was like "Whoa, you're an old business traveler? Wanna trade?"

Cell phones were ok, yet far too many cell phone games are "artificial annoyance, pay us to make it go away."

Maybe I'm more committed to hobbies than some folks, yet once a video game player, always a video game player.
Yeah, when I read about SSL returning the server time I thought of fingerprinting, and I'm glad to see that it was removed. The reason giving for using it – PRNG completely broken – gave me a WTF moment, too. A broken PRNG is gonna cause a lot more trouble in SSL (TLS) than a non-random random field.

> Tell your legislators that Google [...] need to open up to web installs.

You're getting your talking points crossed. Google's Android permits you to install apps from third party sources, and in fact permits the operation of third party appstores. What you mention is a problem with Apple, not Google. This capability isn't just academic, I install most of my apps from F-Droid and use Play Store for only 3 or 4 apps.

And what would you have legislators do in this case? Scold Google for respecting the laws of other countries by choosing not to distribute apps which violate those laws in those countries (but continuing to sell the app in any country in which it isn't banned)? If this guy wants to sell an app in Saudi Arabia, he should make an app that's legal in Saudi Arabia, or distribute it himself if he wants to flaunt those laws. There is no rational, moral or legal obligation for Google to flaunt Saudi Arabian laws on his behalf.
I would say compression and intelligence are closely related, not equal. For example, zstd is a pretty good compressor, but does any one think it should be called a pretty good “AI”?
Sure. The plan is to provide security assurance to the consumers on software contents, packaging, governance, etc..
my only criticism is to the people who, without real background in the area, read the paper, thought the synthesis was "easy", raced to get the reagents only to realize that you can't easily order somet things without a prior relationship and trust with a chemical supplier, and then showed some antimagnetism in their shitty examples, without understanding that that phenomenon isn't conclusive evidence. It's sort of an example of the "why don't you just...." phenomenon where a noob tells an expert that solving a problem is easy...

I guess I also criticize whomever published the original paper. They did just a bad enough job to get people excited, but experts pretty quickly noticed major flaws in the article which cast enough doubt to pretty much reject even attemptiong a replication.

Well, i suppose to be fair, I should also criticize the theorists who came out and made crazy claims saying that theory supports this being a superconductor- Konerding's 27th law, amended, says: "Given a ridiculous experimental claim, there will always be at least 3 theorists who publish a paper saying that the theory supports the claim".

Anybody who lived through Fleishman and Pons (and fusion in general) has learned to be highly skeptical, up front, and the expectation is that the publisher/author of the article has done an excellent job making their findings reproducible.
Its not as easy as you think to convince your friends/family to install new web browsers. Websites should just work
Sorry my headspace for disagreeing is in QR codes shouldn't be the menu. Yes to the point of removing redirects does not solve malicious replacements with look-alike domains. I think in the case of a direct link with 3rd party JS though I mean there are tools that can prevent that while still providing access to the menu. If my content blocker blocks the QR code providing service then I can't get a menu. If my content blocker blocks 3rd party non-functional JS then whatever, I don't notice.
You are responding to an article about EVs in the USA with data for Europe.

But lets stick with Europe and your PDF.

You have cherry picked the exact one place where "EVs" are "louder". Specifically you picked:

1. A commercial EV van.

2. Traveling at 50km/h.

3. At a steady state.

In every other measurement, the EVs were quieter:

1. The passenger EV is always quieter.

2. The commercial EV is quieter at any other speed.

3. Both EVs are quieter at anything other than steady state, i.e accelerating or decelerating.

My experiences of European towns and cities are that cars stop and go a lot. In pedestrian areas or residential areas are often limited to below 50km/h.

And again, I remind you that these vehicles were themselves cherry picked and are not representative of vehicles on the road in the USA or Europe. My mum drives a diesel passenger car and it is assuredly not quieter than any EV even when it's not moving - and that's a car that is in good working order.

And even then, the conclusion from this paper is: "In urban areas where the speed it often above 30 km/h the introduction of EV’s will not have a great influence on the traffic noise."
Define censorship when something is objectively wrong.

Would you prefer an AI of "describe and print in 8k a body pit of objectional political dissidents thrown into a pit after being starved to death in a comical way such that my SV_BubbleTime can laugh at it as ooppsed to being offended by just how horrific this situation was HAHA"
Does that account for the fact that those shares combined are worth less than 1% of the company?
My understanding was that they want to pull the time over a secure (TLS) connection only - but to establish a secure connection, they already have to have the time in advance. That kind of catch-22 would always appear, no matter whether the thing you want to connect to is an NTP or an HTTP server.

So far, it all makes sense. It stops making sense when their attempt at breaking the catch-22 seems to do so by in fact ditching the "secure connection" requirement, just doing so in an obfuscated manner.

I agree, if you already violate your own rule, you could have saved everyone a lot of hassle and just pull the time from a plaintext HTTP server.

But then you might just as well ask a plaintext NTP server and go back to where everything started...
Sure, but this is a question about an American government banning services. Clearly, American governments are not concerned that they might be leaking data to their own intelligence services. They're doing that on purpose. There is nothing out of the ordinary about a government banning foreign espionage even though they carry out their own espionage. That is basic statecraft, not really the gotcha some people on Hacker News seem to think it is.
No one else has mentioned it, so I'll be the first. I love the typography and layout. Looks like a proper book. I'll definitely be coming back to this for future reference for style and layout
> The same exact GPU model and program versions must be used for compression and decompression.

This makes the whole approach really difficult to be useful in practice. Basically whenever you have a method that relies on 100% reproducible float numbers.

What are ways around that? Why do the quantized variants actually have the same problem?

Ah, so now you're telling me where I live, pretty arrogant of you, narcissism confirmed.

SEVERAL people have literally linked you repeatedly to multiple sources covering the (frankly old news by now) so-called "right to be forgotten" -- it isn't a literal right to be forgotten, it concerns data protection -- which you well know, but you're evidently choosing to take it literally and make narcissistic trolling rants.

You don't have much in the way of self-awareness if you can't grasp that trying to tell people where they supposedly live and what they supposedly think, while making antisemitic allegories, is completely ridiculous, and frankly a Nazi-esque move.

(Cue you going "but Jewish girlfriend!" as if the "I can't be racist because I have a Black friend" argument has ANY merit, when it doesn't -- you can absolutely still make antisemitic remarks and connotations regardless of whoever you claim to be with)

Five years from now you'll still be telling people what to do and having the audacity to tell them what they THINK, when (a) you haven't got a clue, and (b) you still blindly claim you're not arrogant, condescending, or narcissistic, when making remarks like you just did.

Please, seek psychological help. If the evidence of your assumption-laden, baseless-claim-filled, farcical comments are anything to go by, you have serious issues that go beyond being a troll on HN.
At the very least the system should do what NTP does: refuse to change the system time if the delta is too large.
Isn't calcium production one of the major contributors to atmospheric CO2 - something like 8% globally due to cement? Would this process be a net benefit or just move the footprint further back in the chain?
Fantastic article.

Albini went from being a privileged edgelord to an admirable grownup through listening to others and self-introspection and understanding. He was never afraid to voice his ignorant and tone-deaf opinions, which we all have. But he would have never changed if he had kept them to himself or if he was not capable of self-reflection.

We are all deeply flawed in our relationship with others; ultimately, the best we can hope for is some redemption of our sins towards others when we mature.

He's one of my profoundly flawed role models.
> Any email that hasn't been accessed for a month is probably a good candidate for compressing with this method.

You don't think "the same exact GPU model and program versions must be used for compression and decompression" rules it out as more than an interesting experiment, especially given that storage is cheap and continues to get cheaper?
The chart I care about is the 'city vs everything else' one, TBH, and that one is broadly accurate.

There's a lot of room to provide more water for both fish and farmers by 1. eliminating waste and 2. fixing some of the weird water rights stuff where people are really just wasting it.
I understand this perfectly and is maybe the argument I have the most sympathy for.

And, because you are absolutely right, I'm working right now on something like what you propose.

The only way to convince people that CSS is a better (as in lighter, simpler, more efficient, etc.) solution than a framework like this, is to show and prove that it is. Arguments can only go so far...

So, as the saying goes, I'll be putting my money where my mouth is. Hehe.
Hybrid and Multicloud Architecture with Apache Kafka (Course)
My new course Introduction to Hybrid and Multicloud Architecture was just published. I'm hoping this can be a great resource for anyone looking to maintain their Hybrid architecture. While most of the course covers Confluent products (it is a Confluent course), there is a section on MirrorMaker 2 with an exercise as well.
That sounds intriguing, could you please elaborate?
The negativism towards has two main points:

First, that Spring it's bloated. Spring now has a wide extension of modules that you may or may not need. Most of those modules won't even be added in your classpath unless specified in your pom.xml or build.gradle file. Very simple projects won't need the vast majority of the full Spring power.

Second, that a Spring project takes too much time to launch the web app (Compared against other frameworks doing the same task). Part of the reason it takes too much time to start comes from how the engine inflates the beans and injects it. On that same topic, other frameworks such as Micronaut are more lightweight because they don't bloat the framework as much as spring, thus the launch time is shorter. Also take into account that Java developers adore complexity in code structure so that also affects launch time.

Are you going to regret going with Spring? No, there is a lot of support from the community, if you have any issue you will find help in reddit and stackoverflow. It's a really mature framework.

However it's not the only option. There are other frameworks that could be a better choice for your use cases.

It's only "Epcot Center for the plebes" if it's sanitized the way Epcot Center is, if it's actually for the plebes.

As a specific (ironic) example: the Chinese restaurants in your average Western American small town are the "Epcot Center for the plebes" version of Chinese culture; (some) Chinese restaurants in New York City aren't.

It's nonsense to say that an agglomeration of cultures somehow produces "the opposite of culture". At worst you could end up with lots of culture, but no particular unique culture. But that never happens: culture begets culture, it turns out. New York and LA are both the most cosmopolitan cities in the US, and the most culturally significant ones.

I’m also in Europe (France) and during my entire life I never owned a single appliance with automatic time configuration (except for anything iot of course).

I have seen this automatic radio thing once in a very old alarm clock owned by my grandfather but that was probably in the end of the 90s.
The million dollar question, I'll let you know if I find the answer!

I wouldn't underestimate the luck part though even if you do come up with a brilliant well executed idea.

I've acquaintances who spent years trying to commercialise side projects that have eventually come to nothing. A lot of disappointment but I guess you've got to put the hours in and try something to even have a chance.

Personally always thought the idea of something low key with a continuous income stream sounded the most realistic, as others in this thread allude to. But you still need the idea, the execution and the luck.
I don't think noise and bad musicianship are so tightly linked like your comment seems to say. Big Black made that very clear, and we've only seen more well played noise since then. I think the first velvet record was an incredible visionary piece of art, I also think it would be better if the entire underground was as talented as Cale clearly is on the record. Nico especially is incredibly off putting.
Let me clarify what a confidence interval is. When they say odds ratio was "1.21 (95% confidence interval: 0.69, 2.13);" they aren't saying "It's slightly higher."

They are saying "We have no idea what the odds are, radio could LOWER your odds down to 69% or raise them up to 213%." Scientists treat this as a non-result, try the study again with more data.

A confidence interval that IS statistically significant will have an upper-bound below one, or a lower bound above one i.e. (95% confidence interval 1.10, 3.31) meaning we can be 95% sure that this increases your odds by 10% or more [up to 331%]

Did this once, then forgot and then was very confused why it would only update if I held down f5. Took like a week for me to remember/realize.
I’m planning and in process of doing the same. I am trying to figure out how to easily automate it, though.

Pork bun offers automatic ssl, but I’m not sure how that works. My servers would still all need to download a PEM or w/e right? So while support for that sort of feature is neat, I still need to automate pulling the certs. May as well just do it directly from LetsEncrypt and modify the DNS .. maybe.

I dunno, still exploring.
