It might not be very effective or in the author's best interest to make this point to Google. But my assumption is that the author has already made that attempt and now, after that remedy has failed has decided to make an open appeal.

It is perfectly proper to make this point to HN readers and the general public who know nothing about the situation. It absolutely is relevant that Google do not appear to be applying their policies in a consistent and fair manner and as such are haphazardly fulfilling their consumer promise of operating "safe and secure" app stores.

Spilling conflict into the public sphere is the new way to "turbo" unreasonable disagreements these days. Everyone does it from cable and satellite companies down to individuals getting shit on by a corporate behemoth. Though I find it distasteful, so long as it keeps working, people will keep doing it.
That’s why you also by your car online or over the phone (applies to EU/UK). Have the dealership mail/email the paperwork. They will ask you to come in because they know this is the case, but just stand your ground.

Even without snooping on domains (let alone entire URLs), it would be feasible to only observe the protocol part of `window.location` and send it as anonymized telemetry.

But who am I kidding, given who we're talking about, I doubt that's what's happening.

So has the trust that climate change will go bad starting from international reports in 1990 not earned?

We need to make predictions for more than 30 years that are accurate before we trust scientists?

Or has it been destroyed? By what?

You talk about another completely arbitrary problem with government decision making without context as if it dismisses this entire argument without need for explanation.

You then go on to say that Trumpists trying to start a civil war do so not for comfort but due to trust.

That couldn't be further from the truth. The entire point of the far right propaganda machine is to aim for comfort. Anything wrong is the out groups fault and eliminating them will bring back your comfort is the tagline of that mindset.
The snooping is literally just Chrome saying "I've visited 95 pages, 90 of which were encrypted." None of that violates HTTPS's security guarantees; the fact that you are using encryption is not a secret in HTTPS.

This isn't scaremongering. Go on any kind of public Wi-Fi and see what horrors the network does to your unencrypted traffic (and how those horrors can get cached and persist when you leave the network). It's actually kind of bonkers that we spent a decade treating unsigned HTTPS as less secure than unencrypted HTTP. As for non-commercial sites, we've had Lets Encrypt for almost a decade at this point. It's literally free, and it's really all you need. There is no excuse for any public facing website with a fully-qualified domain name to not have encryption anymore.

As far as I'm aware Chrome isn't trying to ban HTTP connections. All they're doing is giving you a warning. Hell, they're actually making things easier on the old web by doing automatic upgrades. So you don't even need to change your old HTML files, you just need to ensure that you have a cert setup in your server configuration.
Spring annotations have runtime scope (one annotation per class is usually sufficient for injection if Spring can resolve all constructor arguments). You can disregard them and wire your POJOs manually via constructors in unit tests. Spring context thus is really required only in integration tests, in unit tests it is optional and may be a code smell (testing too big scope).
Yes, I have. And I don't see how it can impact the feasibility and easiness of activating source maps.

I may be wrong, though. Don't hesitate to correct me if that's the case.

I guess they forgot the .DS_Store files.
> It hasn't been doing okay ever since Elon bought the site

No, it hasn't been doing ok way before that, if you accept the criteria that the article purports to have (like supporting scientific discussion and surfacing complaints of dissenters, ignored by the mainstream sources) as the face value. Of course, that would be silly, because the real purpose of the article is to say "see, a bad man from the bad tribe took over Twitter and it's all awful now".

> because his purchase saddled the company with so much debt that he basically had no choice but to drastically change course.

He didn't hide his intentions to "change course" from the start. So it's not something that anything forced him to do - it's something that he bought it for. You can argue he was wrong to want it, but it's certainly was the goal, not a consequence of debt or anything else.

> the pretense that the site is doing just fine and that reports of its death are being overblown by a bunch of people with political axes to grind is _also_ a narrative

Of course. To argue against this narrative, one has to define what "just fine" means. I saw useful links on twitter before (occasionally), I see them now in pretty much the same quantity. Is it fine for me? Sure. Somebody got their safe space bubble ruined. Is it fine for them? Probably not. How do I generalize that? I don't know. I certainly know people with political axes to grind are significant part of the crowd claiming it's not fine, and this article provides massive amount of evidence for that. But yes, I do not know if there are other significant groups of people whose problems are of non-political nature, and how big these groups of people are and how vital their presence for twitter. This article is no help to me in that question.
I wore a G-Shock Wavecepter while serving in the U.S. Marine Corps. I recall that on both of my shipboard deployments (2004 and 2006) I was very excited to have my watch set time automatically. It indicated that I was finally nearing the U.S. East Coast. It helped to be an aircraft mechanic on night crew, as I was usually on the flight deck when it tried to set time.

I gave an online talk[1] about the history and future of package management last year that you might find interesting. It was very difficult to determine exactly what was the 'first'; as is often the case with big ideas, the Linux community seemed to spontaneously decide that it was needed and came up with multiple solutions in the space of just a few years. Even the question itself is complicated, because software did not typically come with a clear 'release date', which it usually has now.

Ultimately, the conclusion I drew from my research was that Bogus Linux[2] (which is still available, but no longer maintained) was the first distribution with a fully functional, system-wide binary package manager, but that Perl might have a had a functional package manager limited to Perl libraries in development or even in use by some in 1993 too.

Ask HN: Instant Messages with a Public Record?
I’m a volunteer on a commission for the City of Austin. The commission is required to comply with Texas’s Open Meetings Act. Any communication by at least a quorum of commissioners must be publicly available.

The problem is that Slack and text messages don’t keep a public record. I could write a script that daily downloads Slack’s archive, converts it to HTML, and posts the HTML on a website. But I’d prefer a product, so citizens don’t have to trust me and my script.

Do you know of a service that does that? It doesn’t have to be Slack. Any instant messenger with good smartphone and web support would be acceptable. A way to record text messages (SMS or MMS) might also work.
How’s performance? Is it better? Any benchmarks?
Yes running the LED's close or over their rated current will notably shorten their life. It's generally true for all components. Lifespan quickly falls as you approach the max rated voltage, current, and temperature. And they compound. Thing to know specs for component lifespans at max rated conditions is often remarkably short, like 1000's of hours.

Not all that many government employees even have government-issued devices. Almost no one in the military does. The Strava thing was from letting people run around with it on their personal devices that they happened to use on military facilities. Typically, this kind of usage is forbidden, but it's kind of playing whack-a-mole to even know what apps are out there tracking and mapping location in the first place without simply banning military personnel from having smart phones at all, at least on site, which is exactly what happens at sufficiently sensitive facilities. I actually recall a reminder going out that no augmented reality or mapping applications were allowed on company property when Pokemon Go first came out and I was working for Raytheon, though even that only applied to the parking lots and lobbies as you couldn't bring a phone into the actual workspaces anyway.

For what it's worth, as far as I recall from when I was in the military, which is getting to be a while ago but at least Facebook existed, social media apps were definitely not allowed on government-issued mobile devices. Unit PR offices did maintain Facebook pages, but those were updated from PCs using the web interface, not via app. I guess it's a small consideration, but something to consider for companies that decide to release some web service only as an app.

I made this transition in my late 20s after ~10 years of generalist engineering. I don't believe I could have done it without going back to school. After a decade writing code, I found stochastic thinking to be non-intuitive, and school helped me practice a lot of concepts. However, that was before a lot of online ML material became available. YMMV

I think of it like the gym. You could get in there and start something tomorrow, but unless you've been taught good form there's a good chance you'll injure yourself.

As I said below, I don't understand how the number of team members can impede our capacity to activate source maps. Again, I may be wrong so go ahead and tell me if that's the case.
almost as if you need to do something with that submodules file...
There are plenty of usecases for very slow and very good text compression.

Imagine you run a big email server for millions of users.

Any email that hasn't been accessed for a month is probably a good candidate for compressing with this method.

In the unlikely event the user wishes to read an old email again, I'm sure they won't mind waiting 0.1 seconds for 10 kilobytes of email (ie. a screenfull) to decompress.

These jobs are going sooner or later. It’s cheaper to build new solar than to operate existing coal plants in many places in the US.

If you are serious about the welfare of folks currently working in the coal industry, IMO you need to look at retraining programs (say, Green New Deal style) to replace fossil jobs with building wind, solar, battery, etc. components.

Pragmatically I’m fine with buying off the coal communities with subsidies to transition to green tech. We should not just leave them hanging.

The people advocating for a green energy economy understand this and are generally in favor of supporting those that worked in the fossil industry. However the lobbyist dollars opposing a green transition come from the big companies that stand to lose huge revenue streams, and they don’t seem to be that interested in the long-term welfare of those in the industry.
> When you realise that the dumbest person in the argument is on your side, that means you’re on the wrong side

I don't think this is necessarily a good rule of thumb in general. Lots of topics have 3 levels of understanding, where the dumbest level and the smartest level have the same answer but for different reasons, and there is an incorrect middle level that is tempting if you know just enough to be dangerous.

Take flat earth for example. It's not the very dumbest people who think the earth is flat. The dumbest people just repeat what they learnt at school! The dumbest people are not remotely open to adopting new and strange ideas. The people who fall for flat earth are those who are smart enough to entertain an unusual perspective, but not smart enough to refute it.

The bit's that get your oven to work don't need the time. Adding the bits for this is a cost and a thing that can fail because it can't receive the radio signal that equals a Dead on Arrival for your oven and a service call at least. When it's on a watch it's likely near your wrist which is likely near a window which likely means it can get the radio signal to sync.
> "Why though?"

From what I've seen, humanity in general appears to be gravitating toward further and further political and ideological extremes, and corporations / governments / media appear all too happy to "profit" from encouraging those divisions and capitalizing on them in any way they can. To approve wars, tax expenditures / shelters, government spending, whatever all they do to gather more of everything for themselves. That combined with "eco-terrorism" feels like a dangerous path to me. One that could easily go way out of control entirely too quickly once started. Especially with all the other craziness that's goin' on in the world right now, with Russia "saber-rattling" their nukes, North Korea tryin' to get nukes goin', climate change, growing scarcity of certain super-important resources (water especially), etc. All seems like it's leading to pretty certain violence sooner or later, if humanity don't start lookin' for some better options real hard, real fast.

However, I am a triggered by reference to 'legal and ethical obligation to comply with the law'. What does that mean? 'Freedom of speech' is very important in the US constitution. Social media is slammed if they apply filtering / censorship. So how come that censorship for books is a 'legal and ethical obligation' but for tweets, Facebook, etc its not?

I am only familiar with US elections, and I agree that it's a rigged system but it does still function a little bit in terms of if things were actually really, really bad, the election system would still work to improve things back to the admittedly sort of crappy status quo. The main reason it fails to work aside from the way its systemically rigged is voter apathy, misinformation, and a lack of critical thinking.

Comparing salary to the role's worth has 2 problems:

* If you set employees' salaries to how much benefit they give the company, the company's profit will be 0, which will make investors mad.

* If the worth to the company is somewhere between the average pays of the genders, this doesn't achieve equality between the genders, which is the whole goal of this, unless you're willing to decrease employees' salaries, which will make employees mad.

The current system is the minimum change necessary to achieve gender equality without lowering anyone's salary. Any other design either costs the company more, lowers people's salary, or doesn't achieve equality.
I don't care much about the privacy aspect. I wouldn't do it because it's degrading to make someone talk to a computer instead of a real person because the company is too lazy to interview you.

If they can't be bothered to have a short discussion with me, why would I waste my time recording something in hope that their shitty CV model will rate me high enough.
The author, Fabrice Bellard, is well-known for his work on QEMU (among other things), but I'd treat the rest of the posts as "idea sharing" at an early stage. For example, while BPG (Better Portable Graphics) didn't take off, the core idea (image formats based on video codecs) can be found in WebP (VP8, VP9) and AVIF (AV1) and HEIF (HEVC/H.265).

For this, I'd look at comparable work in the audio codec space, including Lyra (https://arxiv.org/abs/2102.09660) and SoundStream (https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.03312).

For text compression, I think it would be novel if you could get a lossy but semantically equivalent decompression that was resilient to the exact hardware used for inference. I don't think that's what happened here, though, given the requirement for "exact same GPU and model".

Personally, I'm using Letsencrypt with DNS validation for internal projects. A wildcard certificate that needs to be renewed every 3 months for a domain does the trick, the servers themselves don't need to be on the Internet, just have a domain-based name. (I have some Ansible automation behind it.)
