I don't think so.

The state visit, and the bad PR it brought to the Canadian PM is well-reported publically. And the idea that a PM makes political calculations, which don't hold truth as more important than all other factors, wouldn't be controversial to most political observers.
Somehow this connection never crossed my mind between the UKs gun-hoeness and the assassination.
In case anyone comes back to this, it's because any snapshot who's retention date is out of the retention period can get removed. When the original item is out of the retention period it can also get removed.

So you are claiming the protocol that Signal has adopted is already backdoored by the government. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. You need to provide some kind of evidence of this. We are talking 20+ years of open and public research on post-quantum cryptography.
As someone living promiscuously, I'd say it's a correlation.

Some factors that lead people to a promiscuous livestyle also lead them to high risk behaviours, probably because they see promiscuous sexual behaviour also as risky and, in turn, desirable.

I met many that would frown upon condoms, but I also met many that would see them as no big deal.

I for one would count myself as risk averse, and got to that lifestyle through other motivations, and in turn, always ensured to stay safe.
Ads improve conversion?

You don't say.
If your account doesn't have any way to charge you, it's more likely that your account would be auto-deleted after a period of "delinquency". Make the platform do the work.

Of course, that's probably why he's so eager to hoover up photo IDs and CC info - by continuing a passive account on the platform you've totally given your explicit informed consent to be charged whatever Lord Xoldemort thinks his platform is worth that month...
> And this isn't new: over history, there've been magazines and other media where the ads dominated the content, e.g. trade publications such as _Computer Shopper_ during the 1980's PC revolution.

Wired magazine was heavy on ads but they must have exerted some creative control over them because he entire experience was this unified techno-futurist thing.
Seems like the NSA is threatening everyone of arrest (=state-organized violence) if they don’t secretly give them keys, and Snowden revealed it, and there is no public backlash.

I think this may be slightly misleading because the owners of the team serve in many ways that a CEO does in a traditional company. And owners make literally billions off their teams.
The problem with SSR is that they give you the shit AASPs/Genius Bar gets, which is finished assemblies designed to be swapped out by low-skill workers for minimum wage. This dramatically increases the price of the repair because you're now swapping out a large number of components instead of just one.

Louis Rossmann used to beat Apple on the price of repair specifically by desoldering individual chips and swapping them, which is far cheaper per repair. But it's more expensive to train workers to do this kind of repair, and Apple doesn't like paying for skilled labor in America, so they just make the consumer eat the cost of whole assemblies.

At the same time Apple has also insisted on locking down their supply chains so that you cannot buy factory original components at all. They don't want you to be able to buy the chips that go into their phones, because they're worried you might pull a Strange Parts and cobble together a whole iPhone out of them.

It's oddly convenient how all of these things - the need to stop iPhone chop-shopping, the need to stop product cloning, and the need to have cheap labor costs - all just so happen to result in a really shitty repair experience that makes buying a new one always the best option.

> NSA interventions in cryptographic design have historically gone in the opposite direction[1].

I'm not sure I'd say that given that there are some other designs and things that have gone on[1][2]. Particularly the Dual EC debacle. They have a history of helping make suspect or down right compromised crypto if they think they can get away with it. That said it does look like they avoid doing it to anything that gets USA GOV approval for use internally but it's difficult to say to what level they would actually go to for getting a backdoor out into the world that would let them look at other secrets.

If there are less people shouldnt there be more empty and available housing? If the cost of housing is high because investment companies have purchased all of the vacant housing and jacked the price put a hefty (monthly ?) tax on vacant housing that is not sold or rented in 3 months. Somewhat more affordable housing becomes available to people that requier a house to raise a family in. Lower the price to something people can afford or pay the empty housing tax. Could work for commercial properties as well.
Tldr yes. Not a Hindustani speaker but general linguistics nerd. No idea if HN can handle the IPA modifiers

- त - /t̪ə/ - voiceless dental plosive

- थ - /t̪ʰə/ - aspirated voiceless dental plosive

- ट - /ʈə/ - Voiceless retroflex plosive

- ठ - /ʈʰə/ - aspirated Voiceless retroflex plosive

t̪ - t with square bracket below is the dental plosive

ʰ - superscript h is the aspirations indicator

So there are three issues for English speakers:

A minor issue: English uses apical plosive /t/ for "t" , while Hindi and related use dental plosive /t̪/. This is a small difference in tongue placement. But these sound similar enough. The bigger issue is English lacks a retroflex plosive (tongue curls), and aspiration is non-phonemic (does not carry a meaningful distinction). English speakers typically aspirate leading plosives and don't aspirate in the middle of words. It's not that native English speakers "can't" hear a difference, it's just way more subtle and likely to be missed unless specifically listening for it.

There's a ton of precedence of American companies applying American laws universally across the world (regardless of whether it's applicable by jurisdiction) in IP cases, in trade issues, etc. many times it's easiest to just have 1 set of rules across the planet, so companies end up with following the lowest common denominator of legal actions and policies. (even if these policies are illegal in other jurisdictions. Many cases, American companies just go ahead with the illegal policies and then pay the fine in each country where it is found to be acting illegally. The fines are not even sufficient to be rounding errors of their operating budget in many cases so they just break laws at will just so that it's easier to match the policies around the world).

The way Amazon Advertising utilizes dark patterns to boost search revenue is by setting default bids artificially high. The UX preselects "suggested bids" at the top of the bidding range and daily budgets for some ad types at $100.

Even if you choose "custom bids" for keywords the default will be $1 or $3 depending on the ad type.

Of course, thousands of people accepting the defaults results real-time bid levels rising across the board for everyone.
For reference from those outside of Canada/India, when a region of Canada had a problem with a terrorist separatist group... well on the one hand we temporarily suspended civil liberties with the "war measures act".

But on the other hand we also ran a referendum and asked if the public really wanted to leave.

The separatists lost the referendum. Repeatedly.

Particularly relevant since PM Trudeau's father was involved in handling that situation.
>The kicker is basically the cost per ad is increased, which means the budget for an ad-campaign is consumed more quickly. Thus, for example, rather than an ad-campaign lasting 4 weeks and generating X number of impressions, it lasts 80% of that time with 80% the impressions. Thus, even though the revenue is fixed per ad-campaign, Google would be able to cycle through more ad-campaigns

This is, in fact, companies buying less (advertising), which is what I took the parent comment to be asking. It certainly isn't spending less.

To be fair, I'm not saying it should hold all the knowledge in the world. I just expect it to give me short answers to pretty simple questions.

For example: "Hey Google, what are the biggest cities in Australia?" could be answer by "Hey Dave, the biggest cities in Australia are Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane" OR "I don't know this information and can't search the web for it"... but it just answers "I did not understand" over and over for anything.

It seems to only understand (sometimes): "play X on spotify", "directions to X", "restaurants" ... anything in slightly more complex natural language is a no go.

didn't later versions of mysql 5 also have utf8mb4? Or did they do something else? I also wonder why mysql wouldn't have had the resources for strict typing by default, I'm fairly ignorant of the complexities involved, but since this involves just checking data types on insert, it would seem to my non-expert understanding like not that big of a task to add. I don't say that to disagree with you or disparage oracles work, I'm just trying to understand your point of view better.

This is a distortion of the statement that was actually made / what is actually claimed.
My internal filter is:

Sociology/Psych/Economics are almost all junk. Their conclusions may or may not be correct.

Medical studies are mostly junk. There's way too much financial incentive to show marginal improvement. Theraflu and anti-depressents come to mind. Both show a small effect in studies and launched billion dollar businesses.

Hard science stuff tends to be pretty good. Mostly just outright fraud and they usually end up getting caught.

He’s Been Naming Covid Variants. Not Everyone’s Happy.
He's since changed his position and is saying Trudeau should release more information publicly. For context Poilievre has refused to get security clearance, so it's unlikely he's seen the whatever evidence CSIS has.+

* https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/poilievre-trudeau-har...

+ there's a lot that's been written about his refusal. The short of it is that his position is that part of the process is he needs to promise not to reveal anything he sees and he has said that could interfere with his work as leader of the opposition.
This is clever, considering the constraints. We use a fork of catfs write now to have a read through cache over NFS, but we could, in theory use a similar flow as here to do it and this will be a good example. Nice. Part of the problem, though, is that we currently use extended attributes, and I think you need NFSv4 plus a modern Linux to get those across NFS.

Okay, sure, build a better search engine that functions and is better without ads.

Easier said than done.

The internet is 99.99% scams and trash. It's easier said than done to find the signal in the noise.

Some times - willing to pay (and being vetted not to be a scam) is a good indication of signal.

Unfortunately, Google could do a little better on vetting their ad partners. Too often these days, ads are scams.
I bet at the very least, the US govt and other large govts have some way of knowing whatever is actually possible TODAY and have plans in place to make sure whenever it is practical, they get the very first useful ones built.

I would guess they probably don't have any actually useful and in production right now, but they probably have a few secreted away in development, so they will be ready to put them to use if/when they do become useful.
We do not do process isolation yet, although we have plans to implement that as well as a fallback strategy.

The advantage of the native-image-isolate-based isolation is that it is much more lightweight. For example, calls from and to the host application are much faster. There is no copying or expensive synchronization necessary. The disadvantage is that we need to do our own protections against attacks, as the OS protections between processes don't apply to such isolates. By default, we deploy software/compiler-based protections but are also very close to supporting hardware like Intel MPK.

Exactly. You build the server-side (as a FUSE alternative), and just use the OS's NFS client to mount it.

I agree, and I think there's a compromise. Allow the pairing of harvested parts, but also allow users to report their unit as "stolen" so the parts can't be paired.

However, this is probably fraught with problems that Apple doesn't want to deal with. Users will want to know if someone tried to pair their parts and they'll be hit with a large number of subpoenas daily from people who want to know which repair shops had their stolen phones.
Ask HN: Do Business Owners Know the Value of AI?
Hey everyone,

Been working hard on my SaaS that integrates ChatGPT with a custom rule set and knowledge base for specialized chatbots. It's already adding thousands in revenue for my existing clients across industries, yet I struggle to get any traction outside my network.

To be more specific, the platform allows you to create bots that can fully automate jobs like customer support, lead generation, appointment setting, education, and coaching. If a job can be done via text in a chat interface, my platform can probably replace it.

Case in point: I have a client who's spending $100/month on my SaaS and reaping an extra $3000/month in sales. But when I reach out to similar businesses, I'm met with crickets. Sent over 200 LinkedIn in-mails with a case study, and not a single bite.

I've even been discussing this issue with ChatGPT. Yeah, I know—talking to robots about why people don't talk to robots. Funny, but also exhausting. As much as I love tech, it's not going to give me the human insights I need.

So, here I am, in need of some real human input.So, what's the deal? Is it an issue of AI awareness? Or is the business world still skeptical of AI's ROI after so many empty promises? Your insights could really help me figure this out.
Nothing?

I mean, you are already in US-based cloud, so if NSA is interested, they will just request information directly, no backdoors needed.

(This is a good test for your security team, btw: if they say anything other that "we do nothing", you know its all security theater)
Having a RGB connection is pretty awesome. A better connector would have been nice, but the US never really got RGB for SDTV. Component video is more or less equivalent, but that didn't really appear until around the time of DVDs as I recall. Lots of DVD players supported it, including the PS2; but we had no mainstream way to get RGB from SNES or n64. Some other sixth generation systems also had component video; xbox, gamecube (early models only, there was digital video out and nintendo sold an encoder). Dreamcast could play most games with VGA out, but that's 480p, not 240p/480i.

Do you think pickpocketer take your phone out of your pocket, check it then say "oh shit this is iphone 15 with DRM" and put it back to your pocket ?

Pickpocketers will fish anything that is in your pocket and in crowded public transport immediately pass to other partner in crime.

Same with thefts on scooter that rob woman with bags - they don't check if it's prada bag or if has any valuables inside.

Same with thefts that can even break your car window to get some bag that they see is inside but in the end has only groceries.
> It also has nothing to do with the 2000 year old battle

It has a little bit to do with it, I think, but only in two sense
1. It involved a decisive victory by envelopment which, completely unrelated to Cannae, Germany needed to avoid a two-front war.
2. It's just the go-to military general's example to refer to their own "masterpiece". aka. Schlieffen's Cannae.

I'll agree, though, that it would be equally relevant had Schlieffen called it, "Pulling my goalie to put an extra man on the ice".

The tweet presents the quote without context so I interpret it to be a sweeping statement and therefore disagree based on that. If someone could provide a transcript of the cross-examination (I couldn't find it easily), then that could help with making a more informed opinion.
There is probably a "trailing indicator" effect at play here. I believe people don't sell the phone immediately, but try and find a buyer later. It will take a few thefts of un-sellable iPhones before the thief realises that the risk is not worth the reward. These changes don't trickle down immediately.

I like "Synaptic Self: How Our Brains Become Who We Are" by Joseph Ledoux. It's less pop science and gets into some detail about how our neurons work at the cellular level. He's not afraid to use doodles to communicate ideas and I found the whole thing a really pleasant read as a neuroscience undergraduate student. The only thing worth noting is it's from 2002, so it's drawing on older research and examples from the field.
I'm not nearly qualified to make this argument, but has anyone ever suggested that we collectively do away with the principle that one must publish original research in order to receive a PhD? Maybe in something like entomology, there are enough undescribed beetle species out there to supply myriads of dissertations, but in other fields it seems like you are just incentivizing trivial, useless, or fraudulent research.
> "If we replace the Japanese with Appalachian Whites, it's up to the people to decide if they're being replaced or not."

Basically true. An awful lot of Americans, for example, don't see it as "replacement" when people from Mexico, Canada, El Salvador, Spain, or wherever come join them. Their cultural identity isn't defined very tightly at all by who their parents were. This is not universally true in the country, of course, and some of the larger political fights are over this notion.

If Japan feels much more strongly that ancestry matters profoundly, well, that's going to be a rub for them moving forward.

But beliefs are malleable and it will ultimately be up to them.
