> I guess I was thinking about it from the point of view of a large industrial power fighting its equal

Human-in-the-loop ethical concerns aside: a highly industrial power can fully automate the entire process and massively scale up from individual-pilot controlled prosumer drones.

Imagine a high-altitude loitering spotter-drone that autonomously identifies any tanks with open hatches and tasks smaller multirotor drones to precisely drop small munitions. You may take out an entire tank battalion for less than the cost of a couple of traditional air-to-surface missile without putting your personnel in harm's way. Future wars will be horrifying for infantry and ground vehicles.
What does this mean for Signal and Telegram in the UK?
There is no real competition going on with the big players anynore - Google Maps for example constantly jumps around to show ads, randomly zooms in and out when searching, has extremely low contrast, doesn't show all POIs it knows of when searching, and limits what one can search by (e.g. there's no selection of cuisine anymore for restaurants), and so on.

I fully believe that OSM apps already beat it for specific use cases (e.g. Organic Maps for tourism, OSMAnd for cycling & hiking, etc.), and I don't think that being small & open source is a real limit even for an all-purpose maps app, as long as the big players like easy money more than providing features & value to the user, and don't feal threatened by any of the alternatives.

TL;DR: it's good for competition and Google Maps isn't really that good, as long as it's enough to still make loads of money.
An authoritarian mindset is still common in Germany. And they adore their Staatssicherheit institutions, this is german at its best:

They go much further than that, checking and fixing compatibility with all kinds of third party software.

Yeah JSX and especially TSX would be quite nice. YAML though can’t die soon enough.

There's evidence for another phenotype called lean mass hyper responder. Basically you can eat white bread and cheap sausage for a week, that will cut your cholesterol in half. But you'll feel horrible. Also glycerides will go up.
Yes, the punishment should be immense. But we all know there's no real justice to be had here.

In places like China, there's personal accountability at the highest level of an org for major screw ups - sometimes even capital punishment.

If we put such options on the table here, perhaps corporations would be a little less callous with people's private data, and a little less eager to collect it.
The commenter said they preferred json over yaml because yaml is whitespace sensitive; Json is not

I use this app regularly and it doesn’t work in the US either. But I love the offline map feature. I just avoid searching for anything.
I wish OsmAnd had the rendering engine of OrganicMaps. That would be a killer app.

Right now, osmand on my phone is virtually unusable.

I slow down, and as if I were stepping on egg shells, I still try to use osmand because of its wikivoyage and Wikipedia integration. But seriously, not caching off-screen rendered vector tiles make it feel like an app from the 90s. It's feature-full, but redraws on each user interaction. :-(

Organic maps is super fast, in comparison. Their open communication on Telegram makes the project look even more sexy.

Anecdotally, I've found OSMand's search functionality to vary between OK and completely unusable. Especially when entering addresses, OSMand really struggles to interpret what should be quite straightforward entries.

While I haven't extensively used OrganicMaps, I found its search functionality to behave much better.

Dealing requires an exceptional amount of concentration. You need to do every player's calculations faster than they do, while also controlling the game. But it's a lot of rote repetition, physically and memorization. Any person can be taught to deal over a week or two, if they can concentrate. It's just practice. But like suddenly driving a car on the other side of the road, it's hard to switch your automatic reactions. I grew up in a family of Vegas dealers, part of the genesis of my conversation with the guy who got me dealing poker. Blackjack is the easiest... mostly it's just simple additions, which you do the moment you deal the cards. Poker is much more about nuance and controlling and monitoring the game.

Would love to have a properly trained Vegas dealer weigh in here.

What’s truly insane about this law is how pathetically performative it is.

Let’s pretend it was a good idea to break encryption for users.

The current prosecution rate for rape accusations stands at 2% in the U.K. with only half of those leading to conviction. These problems come from poor training, lack of police and lack of funding for the court system.

This Act changes nothing about those fundamental issues so, assuming you catch someone with child pornography on their iPhone, you still won’t be able to convict them!

Edit: typo
No kidding. If I can get same battery life as macOS on my MacBook, trackpad gestures, OS-wide Emacs-style keyboard shortcuts and Microsoft office I'm not going back. Proton has made it possible to run previously Windows-only games.
They're complementary.
Part of the issue with your argument is that most policymakers will be dead by the time society collapses, so they don't care as much. Sure, there's often rhetoric around "saving the world for my children and their children", but in the end most people are selfish and are fine with making things the problems of future generations.

"Information" doesn't sway people. Feelings do. If they feel like they're eating/using/whatever something inferior to what they've grown up using, all in the name of sustainability, they're going to balk.
No. This will produce a fully fledged GUI Windows install. All this is doing is bypassing the GUI install in favor of manually partitioning + formatting the disks and applying the system image to the partition, then skipping the OOBE (Out of Box Experience) so it can be configured normally with just a standard local account.
Why? You have the right to backport fixes yourself to your heart’s delight. Right to repair doesn’t require someone else to do the work for you for free.
That surprises me. The legislation in the form I last saw it says that they're not allowed to show user generated content to children without an age-gated login.
I for one am shocked.
How would these extra territorial laws be enforced?

I mean I break Chinese law all the time; I have a blog without the necessary permits delivered by the PRC bureaucracy.

How is this UK law any different? Unless you have some kind of tie to the UK why should you care? What are they going to do? They can’t fine you nor put you in jail. Are they going to block your sites? Then everybody in the UK will use VPNs (just like China) undermining the ability of the government to enforce such laws even further.

GDPR was a EU law (much bigger than UK), it was not as tedious to comply with, and the PR would have been bad for any company breaching it. None of this is true here. The PR is actually good if you don’t follow this law; you can say you’re defending human rights and stuff.
It is, as it should be. I'm struggling to format it nicely here in HN, but I believe that the formatting show here [0] is more readable than JSON or YAML. It gives you type flexibility (instead of JSON's string-only keys). What's the source of your confusion here?

> We need people working on open source protocols and tools to make things like this possible with existing protocols and in a secure way, federated/decentralized.

Have you considered that some people don't see value in the decentralised/federated setup? They want to go to one site, that all there friends go to, without having to play guessing games to ensure that the server they are using is part of the federation that their friend is using.

It's also bad form to call out something just because it is proprietary: Ever used AWS, Azure or GCP products? Why is their "proprietary crap" better than this "proprietary crap"
Snakeoil is a term for self-signed certs. I think they were lamenting the fact that it was not updated, not that it was self-signed.

Unhelpfully a number of those will be unwilling recipients of trash airdrops.
Personally I think the root cause of this was bad documentation practices. If the old system was properly documented they would've scanned the right folder.

Likewise with the certificate, if there was documentation to indicate when that cert expires (or monitoring to alert few weeks in advance) they would have a functioning ids and these web shells would be found immediately.

Unfortunately, out of half a dozen fortune 500 companies I worked for perhaps 2 had doc practices good enough to prevent this.

Alins – The Purest and Most Elegant Web UI Framework
Alins is the abbreviation of All-in-js. Alins is an extremely pure, simple and elegant Web UI framework. Adhering to the development philosophy of 0-API and Less is More, it aims to help developers get rid of the complicated API calling dilemma of UI framework and develop high-performance responsive web applications in the most intuitive, pure and closest to vanillajs development method. At the same time, it has a very small packaging volume.
Disclaimer: Discord-hater here.

It seems that the core feature is the AI generated summary. This could be a paid plugin for the most important discussion platforms in the wild, for example: old-school PHP discussion boards, Discord, Slack, Twitter, Facebook and others. This plugin also could offer AI-augmented search or AI logging. The pro: people don't need to leave their platform to profit!

Another idea: Discord seems to be controversial. Some people love it, some people hate it. Instead of a plugin offer a discussion back-end with two frontends, one behaving like Discord, the other like a traditional discussion board.

Or do both. Whatever. One problem I see is missing focus. People might not understand what you do.
I keep saying Markov process because it encodes any kind of chance over time on a large scale. It encodes how smart the entrepreneurs and investors are born, how many opportunities they get per time step, how corrupt the regulators are, how the competition will interfere. There are real averages in numerical terms for all of these parameters that can be used. A coin flip can represent an arbitrary model if you tweak the time lags and the payouts. And if the game is large enough you can fix the payouts and extend the lags until you hit your desired fixed payouts. Coin flipping on a large scale can capture almost any economic model.

Typically they wouldn't do these jobs, the copper net was already on it's way out by that time in favor of fiber optics and the entire landline system was on maintenance at that point.

I left shortly after and these days, now they have removed almost all of it already.
Most Rivers flow through geographic locales, and generally their path is static

There's not a whole lot of risk that the Seine will start flowing through the US

The "local" clouds also usually follow a pattern, this is why my local mountains get snow replacing every year, which is the source of my local rivers

However a bottling company could easily ship bottled water to a location that is likely never going to return to the local water table. Ever heard of Fiji brand water?
The problem with making driving more expensive (which is what happens when you try to legally disincentivize it) is that it becomes a regressive tax: lower-income folks get hurt very badly by it. The rich of course don't love paying extra for something (and, being the ones usually in power, will fight against it), but can usually bear the cost without much pain.
wow, what a read. I'm now convinced to immediately remove that library if I ever come across it.

Not a plug :) I don’t use Excel.
Richard Reeves would agree that black men and boys are disadvantaged (with outcomes significantly worse than black girls say). In the interview with Ezra Klein he focuses quite bit on this disenfranchisement, and says how the political right neglects disadvantages that uniquely impact race, and the political left neglects disadvantages to men, and the end result is that neither care about the plight of black men.

That both parties neglect the cause of black men is (in my opinion) an outcome of a two party system that is so divisive that it leaves no space for nuance (and poor policies and extra needless human misery is the result).
I do think most of the physical bookstores got shut down.

But they always would ask if you were a prime member and they’d ask for an email or card on file they could use to identify you in exchange for online pricing of whatever you were buying. With that info I’m sure getting your account signed up for Audible was probably a one button activation.

I didn’t see a single customer in my time watching even really process what was happening let alone reject the offer. I’m sure a simple “no I’m not interested” would have worked but this particular cashier didn’t even give them the chance to say anything about it.
This (and powersync) are genuinely so exciting for the react-native ecosystem. This really is the missing piece of the puzzle that we've been waiting for.
I'm sure the modern equestrian statistics aren't comparable, as the people putting the most hours in tend to be doing sports, rather than daily work as in the past.

Modern horses are dramatically larger than what was available in the past, which means some injuries have more force involved.

Google was doing something similar, and it was on HN about a month ago.[1]

I wonder how much force feedback they have. Is that big round squishy thing in the videos sort of like a big finger, with lots of pressure sensors? People have built area pressure sensors before, as far back as the 1980s, but nobody knew what to do with all that data back then. Today, too much sensor data is far less of a problem.

I once took a crack at this problem by equipping a robot arm with an end wrench. The idea was that it would feel around for a bolt head, get the wrench onto it, and turn. A 6 DOF force sensor is enough for that. But this was pre deep learning, and I didn't get very far. although I did build the wrench robot setup.

I don't need to hear you out, xml *is* better than yaml. Yaml is just a random descriptor that can be ruined by a typo. xml has xslt and xsl, and what have you. It just happens to have a shape that went out of favor because of monstrosities like ESBs and Spring and people have PTSD. I can easily validate and transform my XML just by writing more XML which is awesome. This is why I don't use yaml if I can help it. If I want some descriptor JSON is still better since I can validate it with JSON Schema, or whatever validator I choose out of many. Yaml on most platforms is barely supported.
I point out that the eighties got so bad that George Michael, known mostly for writing happy celebratory songs, very nearly released a 'whole world is going to end' song in 1990's "Praying for Time"

It's hard to love / there's so much to hate / hanging on to hope / when there is no hope to speak of / And the wounded skies above / say it's much too late / So maybe we should all be praying for time.

They released that on the radio, it went to #1 on the Billboard charts, and stayed on the charts for 10 weeks. All while the First Gulf War was starting. Which he wouldn't have known when he was writing it.
OPEC (et al.) won't let that happen. If demand drops, they'll artificially constrain supply in order to prop up the price.

Of course, there could end up being a point in time when demand is so low that their whole thing just collapses.
Technologically email indeed supports proper thread trees. But modern, most commonly used clients don't. The email world would be a better place if people stopped quoting entire threads in every message they send and would rely on message IDs and response relations but they don't.
>Something happened at some point where Twitter, Google and Facebook began to comply and now it's the status quo.

Monopolistic practices happened. How does any regime force people to comply? First you have to make people you want to comply criminals by passing certain laws. Then you selectively enforce these laws on a whim of gov officials. Presto, you've now created a system where you may tell the gov to fuck off, but you'll get prosecuted for something that wolill ruin your day tomorrow.

Mind that I'm not making a value judgement that anti monopolistic laws are bad. No, I'm just stating a fact they can be used to coerce monopolies like Google to do whatever regulators want. Incidentally this is why these laws are so selectively enforced.

How does HN get away with not requiring users to verify with an email?
How does HN get away with not requiring users to verify their account with an email address? From what I understand, requiring users to verify accounts with an email address is to minimize the creation of spam accounts and reduce the likelihood of the user engaging in anti-social behavior. From what I can tell, HN never required me to use an email address when making an account. How are they able to avoid the above issues?
