According to some articles on Google, there are 275 million stars born every day. That's a lot of dice rolls.
It’s a guaranteed unproductive flame war. The exact same flame war that’s been happening about as long as the Internet has existed. It’s really boring at this point.
Thanks, today I learned about "ersetzendes Scannen". I just checked and it's exactly a decade (2013) since it's allowed which coincidetally is the year when I started working as a freelancer (and I have to care about such rules).

I admit that my last paragraph was kind of hyperbole, but I never heard (at least from other freelancers) of a tax inspector which wasn't happy with either everything printed or everything digital. I guess they really start to care if they suspect something fishy.
They’re less meaningful, but they’re number. And numbers are easy to compare, with ignoring all the context.

Where is that assumption coming from? Different planets could easily sit a billion years apart in evolution, based on the age of their star. Meanwhile a thousand years is a long time for technology.
Traditional ACH transactions take days because they're not even transmitted to the other bank until the end of the day. Then you have to wait for their response.

Credit cards are even worse. All you get instantly is whether the card info is valid and has that much credit. But it could be a stolen card or a customer who issues a fraudulent chargeback, and you may not find out about that for a month or more. Meanwhile you've long since delivered the goods.
I hate sites that tell me to provide my phone number to "protect" my account.
If you're worried about botnets, Cloudflare's solution won't save you either because normal unmodified browsers can be automated through extensions or remote debugging just fine.

Headless Chromium with some tweaks is already good enough that it's practically impossible to distinguish from regular Chromium, and Google knows it. That's why they were pushing for WEI (even though they were claiming it wouldn't impact browser extensions or debugging protocols). Google knows that environment browser/fingerprinting isn't an effective solution to stop automated requests, because normal user browsers out of the box allow sending automated requests.

Basically the only reason why botters don't already run full browsers is because of computer power, and botnets get around that problem. When attacks aren't limited by IP or compute power, attackers can just run regular browsers and bypass all of these checks. Even that isn't always necessary, a Raspberry Pi 5 is going to be perfectly capable of running a full Chrome instance to send automated requests through.

At least IP rate limits require actual work to circumvent, you need to acquire a botnet or a lot of IPs. Browser capability testing is comparatively easier to get around, you just run a full browser.

The larger part of that is sales and marketing. They spend more on sales and marketing than research and development in USA. All that is wasted, publishing lots of manipulative ads and marketing material to get as many as possible to buy the most expensive medicines isn't a good use of our resources.

The conflict in Myanmar isn't a civil war any more than the conflict of the USA between settlers and natives was a civil war.

The Myanmar (Bamar), Karen, Shan, etc populations were all there before the British drew the borders of 'Burma.' The conflict goes back way farther than WWII. The main difference now is that the Myanmar are winning.

I didn't realize it was McCormick place when I posted. That building is probably particularly bad because it's right on the shore of Lake Michigan (a bird migration superhighway). Ironically/tragically, the situation might have been made worse in recent years by the reestablishment of native plants in the immediately surround area. I'm certainly no expert, but I wondered if temporary whitewash might be more amenable to the building owner than something more permanent. It is a massive building complex, but might even only be necessary to do the north facing side. The roof overhang might allow it to stick around for a few peak-migration weeks.
Some people are, and a lot of them are here if HN. But the _extreme_ vast majority of people buying Bitcoin wouldn't be interested in it if it had a stable long-term value - they're in it for the speculation.

I agree that self-efficacy is a predictor of success and taking initiative. While it's not mutually exclusive with the recognition of social support, I think that rationalization espoused by Arnold is used by some as an instrument for self-defeat/self-pity and a defense mechanism against taking action. Example beliefs: "I probably couldn't become a world champion bodybuilder, because I don't have the support network Arnold had, so I won't bother"; "people who create successful startups all come from rich parents and stable households, I shouldn't even try"; "I'll never lose weight without a super-pill".

So I agree with you and somewhat with those who are responding to you.
For the moment, astronomers found 0 life forms out the 42 we seeded. Unfortunately, 0/42 is equal to 0/n where n ∈ ℕ, so we don't gained much knowledge on the matter so far.
Schwarzenegger was a perfectly fine governor of California. He actually created a mobile pandemic response capability for the state (instant hospital beds), but it was dismantled before the pandemic happened. Would have been handy when hospital beds became scarce.
I feel like this thing is sort of overblown. It’s frankly pathetic that Russia needs North Korean weapons.

North Korea has “a lot” of stuff. But the sense of scale needs dramatic scaling to the conflict in Ukraine. Like… I don’t really believe that North Korea is going to give upwards of 20% of their supply. And I think most of their supply is half a century old. And I think they will be a shitty unreliable partner. It doesn’t really account for the limiting factor being Russia’s crappy westward train line dependency as the thing that keeps most of the important front line alive.

Edit: like… what does it say about Russia’s level of attrition that its Soviet Union era stockpile is so badly depleted that it needs North Korean weapons. I don’t see how anyone can say north Korea’s supply will be able to meaningfully support the Russian war machine while having no real industry of its own on the basis of what it has in cold storage for a significant amount of time. That’s just stupid. Forget any questions about who’s more truthful in reported attrition numbers in Ukraine. How can Russia possibly be in this position where it feels it’s necessary to get North Korea as an arms dealer and expect that to be sustainable? This implies to me that equipment is being lost at such a ridiculous rate that any attempts to supply it from a fixed cache will be futile. This is a sign of incredible weakness, not something to be concerned about.
When you write “they have literally 1 data scientist to monitor the whole non-western world”, I assume you mean Sophie Zhang. I agree with a lot of what she said, and I mean a lot, but you have a misconception.

The integrity org, back when I was there, had thousands of folks and was aggressively hiring. They were not a lone island and were also supported by other orgs like data infra, FAIR, security, privacy, product teams and more.

Site integrity, Sophie’s team, was a small piece of the work done there. And they, like any team, relied heavily on other teams. You have all this unbelievable tooling internally, and internal teams are incentivized to get you to use it.

These issues were not from want of trying. The reality is that problems like this at scale are incredibly difficult. In my opinion, Frances trivialized a lot of this in her whistleblowing, but it makes a good news story so what can you do.

It pains me when people trivialize it as “just do the machine learnings to fix it all” or “if these tech companies actually gave a damn this wouldn’t be an issue”. It’s an incredibly hard problem, and much like security it will never be “solved”.

That doesn’t excuse when technology has a bad effect on the world. We need to be better, and for the most part as a society we are trying hard as hell. It’s also why the work is interesting and impactful. More should get into it.

Some correspondences take years and only add a mailing every few months. You would like to have a thread-like view -- as in an electronic mail. That is the strength of document management systems.

Sorry to upvote a pedantic comment, but the instrument here is definitely not a wood or kelon xylophone, and is instead a glockenspiel. The solenoid striking scheme would probably need to be slightly different for a xylophone, to avoid wear on the more delicate keys. A softer, rounded tip, needing more clearance beneath, would probably be required. Marimbas and vibraphones would require even softer strikes as well. Really great project!
When I first heard the term 'fiat money system' I thought it was talking about bitcoin. The value exists because some crypto guy says it exists. That is the very definition of fiat.

After when I was corrected that they were talking about real currency my first thought was oh, this is a grift. Only scammers try to reverse the meaning of words like this.

We aren't strictly the product of environmental determinism. That has an influence, but we don't all make the same choices. There's a social expectation among public facing individuals to downplay their efforts and investments and chalk everything up to privilege, luck or divine blessing, and they're punished for deviating from that.

I'd rather get "there are 10 results for bicycle clowns NYC" than a bunch of hits for clowns on motorcycles in NYC.

Google has been steadily increasing its "fuziness" to the point that it considers words like "motorcycle" and "bicycle" synonyms. It's made it more and more difficult to get the results you're looking for.

They even do it to search terms you put in quotes.
> Everyone knows Google has been swirling the tank for over a decade for actual web search and AI will likely finish the job

I think that's their hypothesis either. I don't think it is a coincidence that we are seeing more lines of ads in search results than ever. They are squeezing the cash cow. I don't think this observation is subjective but could depend on your location, do you observe the same?
There is no sign that we will ever send out Von Neumann probes, so why should I believe that any other intelligent civilization will do the same thing.

Or, how do we know they haven’t reached us? Maybe they stayed in the outer solar system. Maybe they came, looked, and left. Maybe they have some sort of cloaking device technology. Maybe they are really small. Maybe they came during the age of dinosaurs and probe is still out there in space, shut down and waiting to be discovered.
The discussion about how Meta purportedly twisted the content moderation discussions around 2020 was a revelation for me. This quote from Meta captures the alleged spin well:

> We proactively detect 99 percent of the hate speech removed from Facebook in Myanmar

If the accusation is correct, they are not saying that they capture 99% of all Myanmar hate speech on Facebook. I remember that the big news agencies reported it that way. Meta is actually saying "of the 5% that we do catch, 99% was caught automatically." The key phrasing is "99% of the hate speech removed".
Ask HN: How does Starlink work for IP address/ASN internationally?
I was curious how Starlink would work when connected in international locations? Would it show a US IP address? Would it show a Starlink ISP ASN?

For comparision - cell phone tethering plans, you can be "anywhere" in the world, but the roaming telcom provider will (lack of a better word) "tunnel" your connection to your local telcom so you could be in China, France, UK but you would have the country of origin IP address/telcom provider ASN? E.g. T-Mobile from USA, but in Europe would show that you're either in California or Kansas.
This actually makes my point. mRNA vaccines were researched in academic institutions for decades. The Covid 19 vaccines just took those vaccines and ran them through clinical trials.

This isn't hard to verify. Just this week researchers were awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine for their work on mRNA vaccines. Did they work for Pfizer? Johnson and Johnson? Some other company? Or was it an academic institution?

I’m assuming that the indexing off by one errors were due to Lua 1-based indexing? If so, was it due to you being used to 0-based indexing or something else?

Just curious. I’ve been kicking around some attempts to make programming simpler (though hopefully no less powerful) for casual programmers. Lua’s 1-based indexing gets a lot of critiques and, while I haven’t written a ton of Lua, can’t help but think that the critiques are due to us all being used to 0-based indexing. Which is a valid critique, especially for a scripting language, but one that applies less to novices.
Not only that, but Earth is probably the only planet that has life of any kind.

There is simply no explanation for the existence of life at all.

Nobody has the faintest idea how life came into existence, and the question of the origin of life is, frankly, the only interesting question because it is a prerequisite for the existence of any other question.

Without life there are no questions.
Yes, a history of trying to get to the truth of matters even if it's not popular in the zeitgeist.

Look at fsociety's comment in this same thread to see just how much misinformation is out there (which he helpfully corrects)

It just so happens a lot of misinformation is anti-corporate since many people want to believe every bad thing they hear about them. So I end up being one of the few commenters who say, actually, the big company did try here.

This is important because if every big company is supposed to be equally bad, there's no reputational penalty for the actually bad ones.
Are you saying the US should take an influx of 100 million people? Let's say they would be up for it... There's no infrastructure to support that. All problems in the US would multiply. Just imagine the housing crisis if the US just added a fourth more population. Not to mention we won't have enough food. People will be starving.
But we also don't know how life started. There's a big gap between the simple organic molecules that pop up everywhere, and metabolizing reproducing life, and we have no idea how many improbable events had to occur to bridge that gap. For all we know, it takes a whole universe rolling those dice before it's likely to happen even once.
I don't think reading too much into the absolute numbers makes that much sense when we're talking about "how much was seen in one satellite image". It's not like this is a count of every rail-car that passes through, it's just an indicator that the line is much busier than normal.
> Alameda was the one firm in the world that was capable of convincing a regional Japanese bank to ignore the Financial Services Agency, even though Japan’s banking regulator had told banks to be maximally skeptical

When I was in Japan I saw this too, basically the nearest crypto grifter with the right unrelated pedigree convinces people that derive clout in this antiquated way. It makes me sad that “never crypto” gatekeepers eventually run into the nearest one who just happens to be shilling anything random. The whole point of crypto is that you don't need to gauge utility off of pedigree, you can gauge it on your own and reach an independent understanding that’s corroborated by all the other participants in the network, which includes walking away and being disinterested.

There needs to be broad education on this stuff and what a properly managed crypto servicing organization looks like. Primarily because these are concepts that don't go away with any regulatory change, its as simple as 2 computers or nodes communicating with each other so it never goes away.
What does that matter? If you're only holding $50 then your maximum exposure is $50. And if it turns into $100 then you're not exactly complaining about it.
It's the French word for mushroom. However it seems some English speaking people (who sell mushrooms or food made with mushrooms) do call "regular mushrooms" by that name. Probably because it sounds cooler, or because they don't know any French.
Our lack of evidence tends to suggest that we are alone. But it's a mere conjecture. A single counterexample would invalidate it.

These days, there has been a lot of push from the government and banks to teach security best practices to the common internet users in India. Looking at the website, I'm curious why is a browser serving "Tailor Made Content?"

> Leave the generic content on the generic browsers. Get that VIP experience with tailored content that truly matters to you.

By the way, this is just Android with no immediate Desktop/iOS versions. So, unfortunately, I cannot try out the browser. The thing with India is that we skipped the desktop/computer era and frog-jumped into the fiery bosom of the Internet with all the bad actors baked in. Everyone is left to learn on the job and fend for themselves.

Here is a website that is serving as an example to avoid scams - http://winlotterywin.in (this is everywhere these days and this one is not harmful).
The US should roll over and allow the largest country and its bully government to occupy more territory instead of helping UA?

But in any case, it's another example, in Russia there was no need to argue about the war because the pro war side (Putin) won by default without even considering what the other side thinks, and it only shows how lost the cause of democracy is there
Devs can commit fraud without anyone knowing is my point, actually. Picture a scenario like the 2013 Bitcoin fork but with a twist: a dev introduces a bug that allows a transaction to spend bitcoin without corresponding inputs, and triggers it while in the next block spending Bitcoin to buy a coffee, then after a few more blocks for confirmation, publicly announces the bug and the need to move off of the most-work chain. Miners and devs all agree that mining on top of the most-work chain with the bug doesn't make sense and move all the mining to a minority fork that has the bugfix. Minority fork overtakes the buggy fork. Malicious dev has his Bitcoin back and spends them a second time somewhere else. No one's the wiser.

We can argue about the game theory and what exactly would happen if this was attempted today, but the point remains that double spend is possible and the Bitcoin white paper does not address this issue because it assumes Bitcoin code is set in stone. As soon as you consider that the protocol evolves and is subject to human manipulation, the white paper's guarantees all go out the window. This includes the 21 million bitcoin "limit".

The conflicts exist along ethnic lines, but all major armed ethnic groups had formed a government together at end of WWII, and even today many of the groups openly support a federal union.

Settlers and natives has nothing to do with it. All the major armed ethnic peoples existed in Myanmar since before WWII. The “settlers” were the British and they left.
