It is no worse than the voting system being used to beat people down that don't subscribe to the dogmatic view of the world HN readers do. In fact, this is almost better, because at least people will continue to see a dissenting post. At worse it functions as a third party shadow ban. HN already shadow bans, so again, it's no worse. New users in particular are forced into making ideologically aligned posts in order to get enough karma to avoid the insta-shadowban new accounts can get. No different if you're trying to play the game with this stupid plugin.

I do not understand the idolization of HN as some bastion of spirited debate and nuance. It is objectively no better than Reddit and subject to the same hivemind mentality. If you want legitimate spirited debate and can learn to ignore trolls removing the voting system would bring HN closer to the fantasy it's readers seem to believe it is. Unfortunately taking away internet points from the terminally online is akin to making an addict go cold turkey. It wouldn't end well.
Reliably means close enough to be useful, but the estimation is also quite precise where most populations live.

My use case which led me to discover this fact is sort of documented here: https://twitter.com/mholt6/status/1695685022710477043 -- even if my use case did have whole kilometers of displacement, it wouldn't likely be near the poles, and if it was, the answer would be, "Meh, we get it, you're at the pole."

Are you telling me to hire a Workspaces admin? For what reason?

My employer has their own Workspaces administrators. They wouldn't allow a stranger, non-employee to put hands on the dashboard like that.

Are you telling me to hire a Workspaces admin for my personal account? I don't have a business-class Workspaces account; there is nothing to administer.

A freelance admin won't help me if I find a bug that I need to report to Google. I've found a couple bona fide bugs that required me to work with One Support for an extended period before Tier-1 escalated to an internal team and they finally all agreed that it wasn't my fault and I'd better just report it as a bug.

I already pay Google One for support; hiring someone on UpWork seems like an outrageous expense for run-of-the-mill support questions.
That is really great context. I appreciate you taking the time to help me understand this all.

I'm going to bookmark your post so I have it now. This is all interesting and exciting to think about, and it makes me think of "Should I perhaps set up another VPS?" and "Should I look into becoming a website builder using some of these tools?" or maybe "Should I learn about the WP plugin ecosystem and consider becoming a plugin developer?" and many more. I do know from past experience though that going down any of these routes could turn into something that is quite time intensive and quite likely would not yield immediate results (and my time is, at the moment, mostly spoken for, and I have a full-time job). Still, it is definitely something I am thinking about, and I guess another thought that came about after reading your post was: "Wouldn't it be cool if there was a low-or-no-cost (low-cost most likely) way for non-tech-people to self-host things?" A sort of community anti-cloud VPS thing. Maybe run by some devops folks for very cheap, with the option of providing support and resiliency features at some cost. You just made me think: The idea of a small business or restaurant needing a low-touch website with the capability to self-update it is of course a very good one that makes total sense. And taking it a step further, wouldn't it be neat if stores could run their own online shopping sites without the need to pay someone like Shopify the large amount they do, and if restaurants could run their own delivery logistics without restoring to DoorDash, Uber Eats, or Skip the dishes? I guess I lean to the free open-source direction and envision a tech community that could keep wiki docs on how to self-host these things and the folks who ran them could update the docs as needed, and write code as needed, and so on. I don't know if what I'm saying is at all realistic; I just like a few things you have said, like Vanilla WP being one of the best things to happen to the web; I am guessing it just gives so many people the ability to have a nice website... I think it's a nice avenue of exploration and I am getting fed up with the centralization of all things web.

I feel like companies collecting sensitive information and slapping it on someone else's computer without the slightest clue how to protect it, or running a cloud hyperscaler and leaving storage open and indexed by default is far more unethical than anything I'm doing. I'm not the unethical collector, I'm not the one who decided to host that collected info on the cloud, and I'm not the CSP who gave those unethical collectors shitty security defaults. I'm just the messenger notifying others that this is happening.

I maintain mental lists similar to this tool, and my mental "foes" list isn't people I tend to disagree with, it's people whose style of discourse is inflammatory and counterproductive. This style has tended to get more upvotes lately than it used to, and it creates whole subtrees that aren't worth reading because emotions are running hot.

Having this mental list helps me in exactly the way TFA describes: if I see one of the bad names I can immediately collapse the whole subtree and avoid the whole argument that ensues.

Edit: To be clear, I wouldn't use a tool like this, I think it's healthier for the list to remain in my head. It's less permanent that way, so if a user improves over time then their "foe" status will naturally fade. I'm just explaining how someone could use a tool like this for non-ideological reasons.
I completely agree. 'Design-by-committee' gets a bad rap, but Ada's designers got a lot of things right when it came to bare-metal programming. The ability to specify the in-memory representation of a type is one of my personal favourites. I don't think Ada's syntax has aged well. I wish it would get a 21st-century overhaul. I don't think that's likely though, but we can all dream. AdaCore do great work, and contribute a lot back to the open-source community.
Speaking for myself, the motivation for such thoughts mostly stems from treating wealth as a reward for work. Which is not crazy, it's similar to the labor theory of value. Or if you prefer, incentivizing work means more work will get done, and work always needs to get done. There are valid reasons from a number of perspectives to valorize and reward work.

And the elderly largely don't work, because they can't anymore.

Shifting services means the elderly will get poorer. Which given the high wealth level they have in developed countries relative to the young is not a catastrophe. However it would be a huge adjustment to expectations downward, since the elderly would have the rug pulled out from under them. Whereas the young haven't yet had a chance to adjust their expectations up since they haven't had money yet. Hence the political settlement.

For a prosaic example, in many US states funding for public universities has been cut to pay for public sector pensions in the past thirty years. This has shifted educational costs to the young in exchange for maintaining the benefits of retirees. This is an example of shifting services from young to old.
Encryption alone isnt, you need the full cia triad. I'll get on my high horse and add that questions/assertions like yours are the reason we need education/diplomas and that "i learned on my own/on the job" will never be enough.
Quality is absolute.
There were multiple LLMs released before ChatGPT, none made any splash, including GPT-3. Meta released one like 2 weeks before ChatGPT, and had to shut it down for bad output quality. Only GPT3.5 started to meet the 'wow factor' for it to go fully viral.

Until a product hits a minimum quality threshold, its useless. Which is basically what you stated later. Now most areas are mature enough that a copy pasted solution hits that minimum threshold (Eg, setting up a basic ecommerce site with ordering and payment). But for uncharted territory, that threshold is very real, hit it or die.

Sure, I'm not arguing that we don't ban contracts between consenting adults. But I think we should be highly suspicious of them.

> - Contracts for the sale or distribution of controlled substances, such as drugs or drug paraphernalia;
+ Gambling

Consent is a gray area due to the addictive nature of the what the buyer is buying.

> Prostitution

We do ban this, mostly due to I think society finding it icky.

>- Employment contracts that permit hiring underage workers.

Not between consenting adults.
Companies aren't huge on paying open source developers in the first place. From their perspective, the primary benefit from open source software is free labor.

One advantage of those (unlike the milk bags) is that they don't let in very much air. The bag just deflates as you pour/draw. The much reduced exposure to air is great for those (not me) that drink their wine over days/weeks.

It seems that there are no more assets left for Evergrande to sell.
In major cities like Tokyo and Osaka, J(N)R is far from the only player in town, there are numerous "really" private railways like Keikyu, Odakyu, Keio, Tokyu etc. And they all followed the same very profitable playbook of snapping up rural land, building a train line to it, and then building/selling off rights to build apartments, shopping malls etc on the now much more valuable land.
That would be worse than an app.
> The author of the article did not provide a similar explanation, or even an abbreviated one, in order to justify the claims that the bug does not have security implications.

Curl already runs ubsan and fuzzer in its testing process [1]. They know what they are doing (you may disagree on the first principles of writing curl in C/C++, but it's not like that curl is not sufficiently aware of UBs), so you should have asked instead why this particular bug was not caught already.

I believe the answer is that this bug occurred in the curl's CLI interface (src/tool_*.c), not in libcurl. The current fuzzer only runs against libcurl so this bug could have slipped in. But then it is even more clear that this bug can't be that serious, because libcurl does all the heavy lifting! Integer overflows themselves are not significant, they have to be paired with other mechanisms to be actually vulnerable (and Rust also agrees, whether overflow checks are enabled or not does not affect the memory safety).

Unless reporters have figured out an ingenious way to exploit a single integer overflow, the OP's reaction is completely justified.

Milk often comes in (large) bag form for cafeteria/restaurant style milk dispensers in the US, at least in the ones I've seen. Though I think those usually have a specific port on the bag that the dispenser pierces to get to it -- it's not _just_ a bag like those shown on that wikipedia page.

I think the only advantage is when using old navigation devices. You measure altitude of sun at noon and that is your latitude, time of noon is your longitude. It also only works when going east-west, it falls apart any other angle.

> Base ten is an unfortunate numeric choice and responsible for much of the hesitation to switch to metric. Maybe someday when we have millions of O'Neill Cylinder colonies, one of them will adopt base twelve instead, at which point the main reason against metric would go away.

I've heard this argument many times before, but I don't think it makes much sense. The US customary / British imperial measurements are not consistently based on base 12. Yes, there are 12 inches to a foot; but there are 16 (not 12) ounces in a pound, and 128 (not 12 or 144) US fluid ounces in a US gallon (versus 160 UK fluid ounces in a UK gallon). Fahrenheit has 180 degrees between the freezing and boiling points of water, with water freezing at 32 degrees – none of which has much to do with base 12 either. There is no widely used unit corresponding to 12 feet or a twelfth of a mile. If you really want a system of units based on base 12, the US customary / British imperial system ain't what you are looking for.

Also, it ignores the fact that you can metricate while keeping a foot of 12 inches, if you define a new "metric foot" composed of 12 "metric inches". This has been done before – as I mentioned in an earlier comment, many European countries kept the pound when metricating, by defining a new "metric pound" of 500 g. Given the current standard US-UK inch is exactly 25.4 mm, one option would be to have a metric inch of 25 mm (= 2.5 cm), twelve of which would give a metric foot of 300 mm (= 30 cm, versus 30.48 cm exactly for the standard US-UK foot). Sure, having two different foots and inches (old and new) coexisting for a while might cause some confusion; but if the confusion isn't worth it, maybe base 12 isn't really worth it either. And to avoid the confusion, you could always give the new metric units different names ("moots and minches", maybe?)
> Inches using base 2 for the fractions is useful.

Why? You can't just say that without a reason.

(The numbers you cited above don't count, because you'd instead use 6.1 and 14.4 (or maybe 14.45) centimeters)
Kilogram is also an outlier, as it is the only base unit that comes with a magnitude prefix.
You're already ensconced in a filter bubble. The "one big silo" approach of HN guarantees homogeneity. Subcommunities cannot coalesce because anything too far outside the zeitgeist gets brigaded and downvoted out of existence.

To nurture wide diversity of opinion, freedom of association is required — not only the freedom to band together, but the freedom to exclude (using tools like hacker/smacker) those who are determined to shut you down.

The only thing an IDE brings to the table is a different user experience. A better user experience can be beneficial, but is not akin to giving up tooling. There is no reason (purposeful attempts at vendor lock-in aside) for the same tools to not be available outside of the IDE.

It's more like GUI vs the command line. Both can ultimately get the same job done, but the experience is different. And, frankly, I'm not sure there is one winner takes all. Sometimes GUIs allow you to do more, better, and be more efficient, but other times it is the command line excels at those things. There is situational dependence.

The real question is: how do we re-use the expired laptops? Seems to me that the better deal for everyone involved is to create a leasing program where CBs go back to the manufactures and they have to figure out what to do with them. They would ultimately find the best way to reduce the waste.

I have an expired CB that has a very well made body. It's solid and has very little wear and tear. It can easily do another 8 years of service. I can see a situation where a manufacture can renew it and put it out for service again. The manufactures would have to build them to be renewed but that's not out of the possibility.

The term, 'reduce, reuse, recycle' has been pushed on consumers for decades but ultimately the manufactures have to be part of the solution too.

>why would I want mandatory time off?

because even with "unlimited time off" it is a herculean task to get a long vacation approved. And without those plans, accrued time off is lucky to hit 2 weeks a year. So I have to not be sick or have emergencies for 2 years straight to get what is normal in the EU?

It's easier to force mandatory vacation than go through all that. US as a whole has horrible days off policies and I'd happily take some mandatory vacation. You are even free to use it to research stuff if you really want to get ahead or whatever.

> I'd choose some place where I could cash out time off over the one where I can accumulate multiple months of time off over the one where I have to use-it-or-lose-it.

Where are you where you can accumulate "months of time off"? Every plan I've had had max accruals of anywhere from 14-28 days. You literally hit a point where you have to use it, and this is after multiple years of accrual, not a single year.
