Show HN: Export Google Docs to Clean HTML
Google Docs can export a document to HTML, but the HTML it generates contains a lot of unnecessary HTML markup and CSS classes - to the point where it is nearly unusable. For our main product[1], we already convert Google Docs to HTML as an intermediary format before exporting to the various CMSs we support. So, I decided to put together this free standalone tool that allow you to export any Google Doc to clean HTML that is ready to embed anywhere.

We also have a few additional features:
- We download all images and include them in the ZIP file we generate for you. (The image URLs that Google generates for you are temporary and only valid for about 30 minutes)
- When the option is enabled, we will convert any standalone links to social media sites to the proper embed code
- For developers, you can add your source code to a single-cell table (i.e. a table with one row and one column) and, given you have enabled the option, we will create a code block for you.

Hope this helps some of you out there!

Not sure if there's an actual reason. But 59 is the actual starting level that matters for software developers.
I got interested in that after your comment, and apparently there are two main reasons for that.

1. Oxygen is being produced in stars by so-called CNO cycle [0], which is how stars heavier than our sun mostly do their fusion. More intriguing question is why there's more oxygen than carbon or nitrogen (which, as implied by the name of the process, are also created), but that's a different topic.

2. Additionally, oxygen-16 is a particularly stable isotope, as its nucleus has “doubly magic” [1] amount of constituents, so it doesn't get destroyed in other processes.

A major reason for this is that the price point is hardly competitive with black market prices. The federal government was tasked with determining what going prices were on the street, and the data was ignored when crafting the price system. It's hard to dislodge an existing dealer-"client" relationship when you offer the same (or often lower quality) product at an inflated price. Then there's also the entire problem with the legal cap on edible strength.

This is a textbook example of a good idea, executed terribly.
Sure, but msft is #1 offender of this dynamic by far
Then we'll ramp up production over the next few years. It's already happening at a phenomenal rate [0]. The world does not need vast amounts of storage in 2023: the goal for the next decade should be to build out renewables from 1% to ~50% of production everywhere, and to use storage mostly to smooth out the demand curve (which is currently highly profitable and happening quickly in places like CA [1].)

This is not what people mean by de-escalation
The idea is that you tax the land only as if it was being used for best use - so that every property is encouraged to develop to maximum density.

I suspect that in actual use it would end up having a small to no effect.
I've noticed that a lot of US organizations love to use "levels", but coming from the outside it's borderline impossible to know what those levels mean. We have IC levels, and I'm sure I'm on some level, but have zero clue as to what the level may be or mean.

In cases like this where you just have payment guidelines for a level 52, you might as well not know. What's level 52? Is that an intern or senior management?
Soared? Surged?
They would still use more energy in total, since flats insulate themselves to a certain extent due to having less outside walls & tend to be smaller requiring less energy to heat the space. You can also power flats with renewable energy. At this point less total energy is good regardless.
Big agree here with a ban on controlled burns, with one caveat: Pine barrens need controlled burns to continue to exist, and should be exempt from that ban.

This is a better term and a suggestion I’ve already come across. If popularizers of science and tech as well as the AI space were to begin using the term consistently, the mainstream media would follow suit eventually.

> LLMs have no sensors to experience the world with (other than their text input) and (probably) don’t even have a subjective experience in the same way humans do.

Computers are not subjects, period, and to attribute intentionality to them is nothing short of projection and superstition. LLMs do not somehow transcend what a computer is. Computers are machines that transform conventional representations into other conventional representations, but these representations require human interpretation to have meaning (during which the representation is related to the conventionally assigned meaning which is itself the terminus that requires no further interpretation). That meaning or content is the intentionality in question. Your won’t find it in the machine, by definition.

A source of popular misunderstanding probably comes from the confusion of what the computer is objectively doing with the metaphorical language being used to talk about it. Even “confabulation” is, strictly speaking, metaphorical or analogical, but within the analogical schema we’re using, it is a better fit than hallucination.
The problem is that its hard to get your house listed on the MLS if you're not using a realtor (you need to use a digital realtor that lists on your behalf), and many realtors won't even show those houses to their customers if they recognize that its being listed by one of those digital realtors.

Realtors ARE a good idea. They should be helping you navigate a process that most people will only do once or twice in their life and is very complicated and full of pitfalls. However they've used their industry lobbying to carve out a very comfortable position and then stopped doing the thing everyone wanted them to do.
There is no supply shortage, that leads to over production and inability of firms to make profit. Any artificial shortage through government mandate is easily circumvented on "the street". Kinda hard not to see this outcome.
Also, the last row of that table doesn't work mathematically: if max voltage is 5V and max current is 5A then max power must be 25W (or less than that if you're not allowed max voltage at the same time as max current) but it is listed as 100W .

The downside is you have to put up with Microsoft's ineptitude. I was on a Microsoft project for about 6 months and it was a terrible experience. Everyone was out for themselves, asking questions was treated as an annoyance. Condescension at every turn. It was a small team and perhaps not representative of all of Microsoft, but it was a bad enough experience that I'd never consider working there in any capacity.

Tor picks different exit nodes for different destination servers.
It's been a long time since standards meant something. The only improvement seems to be that the new advertised standard has better characteristics than the old advertised standard (for example 110kBps for 5G compared with 100kBps for 4G).
It's a bit worse than that. Officers don't pay when they're held personally liable, the city covers that too.

People in general don't like to have the hard conversations where they tell Bob that Sue is better than him and she makes more money. It's easier to just normalize transparent salaries lower. If everyone is transparent it will change over time though.
Good news! And since our house is pretty much running north-south, with an unobstructed view of the sun until around, say, mid-afternoon, the aide of our roof facing east should be quite suitable (to get more sun on it, we'd have to remove all the trees, moat of which are 30+ years old, something we don't want to do). One day, there will panels on that roof!
Problem with this kind of thinking is that you can always blame the other party. But blame will not solve the issue. Both parties, Hamas and Isreaeli government do bad things. Staying into "blame" thinking will not change the situation.

Dead civilians are always a tragedy, if they are Israeli or Palestinian. Only if and when peope are tired of killing, will this come to a stop.
The innovation in the second link is an innovation precisely because gold is not biodegradable.
Aren't "cloud" passkeys multi-device FIDO credentials [1][2] where if you lose all devices with access to your keychain you can use account recovery [3] to get a copy on a new device?

So I thought you shouldn't need an additional passkey device or to remember anything special other than account recovery information.

Then, optionally/implementation specific(?), when you login with a new device for the first time, with that cloud/multi-device credential, some other shenanigans happen. [4](?)

This looks fantastic! USB can seem intimidating at the beginning but one start getting the vocabulary and concepts it can actually be understood.

I fully recommend the book USB Complete. It might not look like a approachable book but it is very readable!

I once had to explore some code that talked to a usb device and I was quite surprised of how readable it actually was!

"Following" is such a misnomer and it's a word that should be banished from the realm.

I had joined the two Hamas telegram channels to see what the org was saying. I'm as much a detractor of the org as anyone, and am quite pleased to see their annihilation (though it is incredibly unfortunate that civilian Palestinians pay the greatest price). Their channel has been an exercise in cope while their narrative shifted quickly from arrogant, untouchable boasting about the things they did, to now being effectively a pathetic desperate pleading.

There is no such thing as "the police" in the USA. In my immediate area there are (the ones I see regularly): City police (the major presence), Public school police, Transit System police, State Patrol, and County police.

Every department will have different policies, leadership, departments (like SWAT), etc.
I'm not sure about Microsoft specifically, but at other companies I've worked at (including the federal government) a level number is somewhat standardized across all roles, not just engineering.

So that means an entry level engineer would start at a higher level than a senior secretary, or whatever the case is.
Deescalation training is widespread, and doesn't work. It's the cop equivalent of phishing training: something everyone knows is silly you click through to get over with.
> If people completely stop buying product A (which's price increased 100x) and switch to product B (with the same price as before) then by the above calculation there is no inflation at all.

If people completely stop buying product A and switch to product B then the model should do that as well because the model should try to match reality.

The CPI is about measuring prices of what consumers buy: the P and C in CPI.

> It would probably be more honest to project inflation by defining a static consumer's basket and following it's price into the future.

But that is not the purpose of the Consumer Price Index. There are other statistics available that may be useful:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_consumption_expenditu...

Or you could go out and measure the prices of these things yourself, as there's source code floating around that was used in academic research:

* https://thebillionpricesproject.com

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_Billion_Prices_project

The CPI was setup for a particular purpose and it is good at that purpose. If you want to measure something else don't try to shoehorn it in, setup a metric for what you to measure rather rather than wreck what works.
I don't think the distinction is meaningless, though, as I said, I do agree that exportable keys are more vulnerable than non-exportable.

What I understand the iCloud scheme to guarantee is roughly:

1. The TEE will not export keys except encrypted to the previously-established sync keypair. (IOW, it will only export keys after first encrypting them with the public key of the iCloud-sync keypair.)

2. The iCloud sync keypair will not be divulged by the iCloud server-side HSM except upon presentation of the correct auth credentials (your iCloud password or recovery key).

I think this provides meaningful security beyond keys sitting in plaintext on (FDE-encrypted) disk, namely, that malware running on the device cannot itself simply export the keys from the TEE. It must instead join a new keychain to the iCloud trust circle, as described at https://support.apple.com/en-hk/guide/security/sec0a319b35f/..., and to do this, it must be able to authenticate to iCloud as the user.

That's certainly possible--malware running on the device could phish the user's iCloud password, for example. But it's no longer a zero-user-interaction access to the synced key.

Again, clearly weaker than non-exportable keys, but still stronger than keys sitting in plaintext on disk.

Your children are your ward, not your property.

Given that the social safety net is crumbling in my country,
I cannot in good conscience have children or recommend anyone to have children.
Precisely because a lot of (loud) people think "Fuck them, they can pay" for their own children.
Some APIs require the use of setenv. For example, you need to setenv("TZ", ...) if you want to use multiple timezones.
It happens in big cities just as much, perhaps even more. It's an epidemic. The only way to escape it is to have a decent amount of land in a rural area, and you still aren't 100% safe.
"Heavily regulated market struggles, five years after bureaucratic plan enacted"

Markets are doing fine here. Consumers and producers are still exchanging and producing value. Rather, anti-market forces are failing.
This seems like normal market forces at work. An oversupply will naturally balance out as some stores close to meet actual demand. Achieving 70% of demand from legal markets after long-standing prohibition is commendable.

I don't see the societal benefit of these businesses becoming massive conglomerates, despite the article's insinuation.

The fossil fuel industry in 2023 loves nuclear, mainly because the capital costs are so high it doesn't represent serious economic competition with cheap fossil sources. There is a theoretical world where we come to a political consensus, then build out nuclear to France-like levels with massive government spending and intervention. But this requires political consensus that the fossil fuel industry (correctly) recognizes is unlikely in most countries.

The major exception to the above rule is China, but even that (massive!) government-sponsored nuclear buildout is only expected to reach <18% of electricity generation by 2060. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-04-27/china-nuc...
neom@me.com if you still have any, thank you kindly.
I'm a not educated in mathematics, so I can't know for sure if what I'm going to respond to your question is really relevant or not. But here it goes anyway.

I'm a security researcher, and I write my own fuzzers. Fuzzers are tools that automatically search for inputs that have security implications for the program that you're testing. They algorithmically generate and mutate inputs, feed them to a program, and observe what happens, tens/hundreds/thousands of times a second.

If an input crashes a program you can think of this as "halting" the program. To have a fuzzer that could find any or all bugs in any program you run it on, in a feasible amount of time, would surely involve solving the halting problem I think. And sure, even after billions of tests, people still manage to find bugs in image decoders, so the fuzzers we do have are not flawless.

At the same time, I have experienced in the real world that fuzzers manage to penetrate unexpectedly deep into complex programs if given enough time. The validation on input performed by the target under test, the limited memory and storage in a modern PC sort of helps to keep your fuzzer on the rails. Unless cryptography is involved, which are like computational tar-pits for fuzzers. Any well guarded/specified program acts as its own guardrail against needing to solve the halting problem for the fuzzer.

It convinced me of the following, regarding the finding of security bugs in programs:

1) Fuzzers are good at targeting programs that perform rigorous input validation, barring cryptography.

2) You don't need a fuzzer for a program that does not perform rigorous input validation (where the fuzzer doesn't necessarily work well.)
Agree, the entire concept is ridiculous.
