In that article she was 11 when using Omegle. She was using internet without appropriate supervision. That's almost like allowing a kid to drive a car, leading to an accident, and then trying to ban cars because they are dangerous to kids.

The internet is a great place, but it's an adult place. You can find absolutely horrible (adult) things on wikipedia that a kid should not be learning about at the age of 11. And I don't think we want to close wikipedia.

The responsibility of internet platforms is needed, but it's not an excuse for parental neglect.
Same. By now I almost have an allergic reaction to thinking about using it.

I know the basic thing I'm trying to do is not going to work, and that I'm going to wind up opening 20 browser tabs that alternate between (1) trying to understand from first principles how to do it properly (and getting frustrated going around in circles through their labyrinthine yet thoroughly incomplete docs), and (2) just desperately searching the rest of the web for the right incantation to whisper (and getting frustrated by all the blog posts and forum answers that describe how to do the thing before they went and changed how everything works).

Feeling the rage and despair build as hours roll by, and you're still staring at a screen full of the most cretinous syntax ever excreted into the world.
In fact often they do not call, as reported by sources on the ground. But even if they called always, tell me, would it be ok for you to receive a call ordering you to abandon your home and belongings within an hour, pending its destruction? Does that make it humane?
> It is because of The King that, for example, Australians are not allowed to investigate their military - a privilege only deigned to be granted by the Sovereign at his whim, and thus rarely if ever actually given.

That is blatantly untrue. It's not because of the monarch themself - the position has little power over that kind of thing. The Aussie govt will be "advising" the crown on what decision to make (i.e. telling), and they could investigate if they wished to, and/or change the law in a heartbeat to allow it.

I'm no royalist, I think it should be abolished. However, it is squarely at the whim of the British and Australian governments when they use this kind of legislation to hide responsibility.
Lobbying by foreign, non-EU, countries, companies, NGOs.

Usual suspects are in the spotlight for trying to stay out of them.
Not strong enough. My hands certainly aren't strong enough to grip something and bear my own weight. I'm sure that can be trained, but it doesn't come as naturally for us as it does for brachiating apes.
why do you believe that? Can you explain why not?
There are no implications regarding special relativity. The propagation speeds of the triggering signal are well understood. If for some insane reason it's not considered fast enough to simply ignore delays from one side of the chip to the other (wherever the sync signal comes in), it's straightforward to put in delay lines to ensure everything triggers at the same time to an accuracy that depends on the amount of silicon you want to lay down for those delay lines relative to the capacitors.

Most likely a couple nanoseconds one way or another don't matter (even at timescales of 1/80,000 s) and those ever-so-slight differences are ignored.
The only way this would make sense is if there’s more to it than what Snowden has revealed. A minister involuntarily confirming something that already leaked is grounds for a stern telling off in private by the Prime minister, but not this.

I would make sense for an internal party (the anonymous whistleblower) read Snowden’s revelations, understood thank to internal knowledge that there didn’t make sense or revealed something else, and decided to investigate. I’ve seen that myself a couple of times: shocking revelations about a company I work at that don’t add up, unless there’s more to it.

If Findsen or Frederiksen had mentioned any of that, or even alluded to, typically “Oh, the reality is so much worse than that, if only they knew” or (more likely) “They are making a big fuss about normal proceedings; if they knew what’s really happening, they would be so much more upset.” then the accusations (and disagreement) would make sense: they think neither of those statement reveal much and claim their innocence, but someone inclined to attack the program would (paradoxically) want to use that revelation to hurt them.
What I am suggesting in practice would be similar to either consumer or worker cooperative. These are similar to publicly-traded companies, except the stakeholders are not some Wall Street randos, but people who actually use company products or employees of the company.

Of course, for this to be truly socialist, the system has to be democratic, i.e. each person involved has equal and non-transferrable vote.

What type a company should be is up to discussion. I believe infrastructure (natural monopolies) are better served by consumer (public) ownership, while companies that can compete on the free market are better served by worker ownership.

As I said elsewhere in the discussion, I think lot of Internet infrastructure should be publicly owned. (And on this infrastructure, businesses could be built.)

Personally, I would prefer an economic system where every company above certain size (say 20 employees) must be either publicly-owned or worker-owned, i.e. democratic in the above sense. Which makes me into a pretty traditional socialist. But that's tangential to the discussion about the Internet.
Containers predate this common GNU/Linux problem and weren't invented to fix it, rather sandbox applications.
I will have to see my MEP in order to start setting up real life technical Big Tech regulation.

We'll start with interoperability with basic email, noscript/basic (x)html, and maybe IRC or a super simple HTTP 1.1 based protocol to have a interaction push oriented protocols. For audio/video calls, we don't have ultra-simple protocols, we would need to design some.
'restrict' has been an common extension in C since long ago and is now a proper keyword.

I guess it is a matter of taste.
Add it to your CI pipeline it will be spamming the fuck out of then on every commit!
there doesn't have to be moat to provide some value to some people. These are mostly indie hackers trying to build a nice UI/UX on ai workflows to actually make them usable by general population. Even with retrieval integration of OpenAI, some people will prefer askpdf or likes, or even won't know about openai integration in the first place to consider switching. Or maybe you can build a better UX than openAI since maybe they are too bloated to know what the user actually wants?

This point of view is too simplistic, not everything needs to be a billion dollar idea or differentiated. You can make an absolute good living with no moat and good product senses. Even if you get outgunned, you move on to the next opportunity.
No one that bothers to look at the minimum ISO spec of 250.
I don't believe profiling (targeted ads) is illegal. GDPR does not block profiling. It's just that in cases such this, a Data Protection Threshold Assessment would produce a "Yes" and thus force the data processor to create a Data Protection Impact Assessment (to ensure that data subjects' data is/are protected (as per Article 32 - https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CEL...)

"Taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons, the controller and the processor shall implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including inter alia as appropriate"

Also Article 35 - Data protection impact assessment. (not pasting it here, it's tooooo long)

Profiling would be 'criminal' (not really) for decision making that can affect someone's life (i.e. approval for a mortgage, accepting/rejecting request to obtain nationality, etc.) The profiling/decision whether to see an ad about cars vs motorbikes it not hurting you. If we are talking about the cases like Target-2012-pregnant (https://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhill/2012/02/16/how-targ...) well no GDPR there.

Also, considering the impact of the brand new EU-US DPF, Meta is Active on it (https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search/pa...) it should make Meta's (and many others' US-based companies life VERY easy to siphon data)(but they still have to act responsibly and under the EU-US DPF).
It's remarkable in Denmark. Arguably shouldn't be, but none the less.
You cannot have both: privacy and safety, and lawful access for the government. Choose one.

This has consequences:
- pegasus was abused by governments to spy and repress people. This is how it is going to be
- there is no escape from banning encryption, as governments will do anything in their might to push that through
- it introduces backdoors for hackers, and you will be an easy target, because the government want an easy access to your data
- paedophiles and terrorist will use other means to communicate, or other protocols, solutions. Therefore lawful access is not to fight with terrorists, and not against paedophiles
- what we are left is that it will be used to control population, and have easy access to data

Everything in thread of banning encryption is straight propaganda and naivety of some folks that think banning encryption solves anything.
It's times like this that I become sad that the world of cryptocurrency and DAOs is so overrun with scams. So often that stuff is a solution in search of a problem. Finally we have a case where there's an actual problem to be solved wrt operating in a legal grey area, but is crypto even up to the job here if there's no obvious profit to be made?

To be fair, if Omegle was operating anonymously on some sort of real-time blockchain, that would make it harder to prevent abuse. But presumably you wouldn't be able to get an app for it in any app store, which would filter out the sort of vulnerable/naive users who are at the greatest risk.
Bit unfair to say questions like " What questions to ask, what to look for and where to look for the talent?" are overcomplicated for hiring?
So, how close are we to having to compile our own browsers to ensure we can still use valid certificates? And which CAs will be trustworthy after this?
Suitable .. they just come with a warrant of bullshit. Thats enough.
Incredible how you can see CS7 extending from Elephant and Castle to Clapham and Tooting on the map.

Companies can either care about cover letters, or not. Applicants can etiher write genuine, informative letters or generic useless letters.

There are only two possible stable equilibria: a "low" don't care/generic letters or a "high" care / informative letters. If most applicants write generic letters, there's no point for the company to pay attention to it. If companies don't pay much attention to it, there's no point in wrtiting more than the blandest, lowest effort letter.

Sounds like you're in a field in the "high" equilibrium. Most of the software industry is in the "low" equilibrium.

---

Personally I like cover letters (in the "high" equilibrium of course):

- they basically front load a lot of the interviews, with information that come up in the interviews. I'd rather have as much filtering as possible thourgh the cover letter and CV than in interviews, because it is much more costly for both parties to interview.

- people complain that it overlaps with the content of the CV/resume. The question imho is purely one of presentation: do you want to convey information with full sentences and paragraphs or bullet points? Much like I think powerpoint-style bullet point lists are much worse than actual language to convey rich information, I'd rather have actual text than blurbs in the typical resume. Makes it slower to read and thus requite low number of applicants though.

> a bit like losing access to a public space

It's more like losing access to a bar that allowed random people to meet in private rooms, and didn't check they weren't giving access to minors, and didn't check inside the private rooms to prevent sexual abuse.

Yup.

For instance, China's demand for new energy means they're building more of everything. More nukes, solar, wind, AND coal.

Solar is the cheapest option, and getting cheaper. Installed capacity is doubling every 20 (?) months. China is adding more solar every year than the rest of the world combined.

But it's still not enough. Therefore, China is compelled to add more coal too.

This (pathetic) NYT article explains none of that.
Naturally it's not something I'd be looking for. But on continuum of bad things to possibly happen it's far ahead of slowly dying under concrete rubble.
For sure. When you look at a used car lot or a smartphone for a few hundred dollars, it is easy to forget that they are the product of a system involving (at least!) hundreds of thousands of people working together in a system that has been studied and optimized for decades. Maybe we'll eventually reach consumer grade graphene processors, but if we do it will probably take decades for the technology to advance through the technology readiness levels.
And your credit/debit card isn't (indirectly) controlled by the state? I don't see how this would be different from the current status quo, so many places are card only that the state could already control all of this.
For people who are looking for this -- It's a common refrain on Twitter that Twitter can be a better dating app than actual dating apps. I think the mechanism here is similar -- both Twitter and Omegle encourage a sort of stream-of-consciousness, semi-anonymous communication style that facilitates soul entwinement.
It's visible and rare, when government breaks down the door of your physical home.

These awful new laws make it invisible and routine for the government to break down the door to your digital home.
I agree, but to some extend that the bed companies made, now they have to lay in it

because it's an arms race, recruiters are also using AI to filter people, just look at the chat GPT hack for resumes
It's the result of online culture rewarding snarky hot takes with increased ad revenue

Ask HN: Are relocation jobs to Europe available anymore?
For context: From India. I work at a US firm remotely, our entire team does too. I wanted to know if jobs that offer relocation are available anymore, especially since the increase in remote jobs after the Pandemic; and the subsequent lower operating cost.

1. Are US companies willing to sponsor VISAs for remote work? Like in my case
2. Are there non-US countries, European ones - Germany, France, etc., that offer relocation support? If so, where can I find them?
I‘m certainly the „snack every 3-4 hours“ type, though I‘m not sure how much of this is already some symptom of insulin resistance.
Oh yes. The US with it’s recent youthful presidents.

Oh, yeah, KC85. We had them in school, when I was in my early teens.
The problem wasn't necessarily the A/B testing rather than what came next, Cambridge Analytica. This current headline seems to follow the same message, that being able to manipulate a users mental health is beneficial to Meta.
What does the data look like in your country? England had 273 deaths and 3000 hospital admissions in the past week. It's still there, bubbling along in the background, it's just not getting media attention.
Further, Resolve is available on iPad now, and Black Magic have a film app on iPhone (that I think was shown in the BTS). So technically they could've edited on iOS if necessary.

On the photo side, Lightroom on iOS is pretty decent.
Do you have a good guide on how to "try doing marketing yourself for a month"? To me this shit is so alien, I can't imagine I'll even scratch the surface in a month.
Graphic Novel is the reason for me.

It translate poorly or not at all digitally. And the ratio space / price / time to read it is too high to buy them.

I also like the ability to take 20 of them, and decide at home if it’s good or not
My dear, I do have plenty experience with "modern" Linux, plenty of it,

As usual we get the answer,

"Have you ever tried distribution XYZ?"

The magical one that will sort out all problems, and then doesn't.
Same for me as well. Via mobile.
Yes, the reason it is vulnerable IMHO, because within our mostly liberal system, there is too little support for coops in the law. We do not protect enough against people taking power from others. That's why I believe liberalism (which at least ideologically values this diversity) cannot survive without socialism.

Data Migration in Salesforce is not just moving bits and bytes; you’re setting the stage for a transformation. The goal is to make every piece of information accessible and meaningful, ensuring it becomes a valuable asset for your organization.
Sort of, refcell still enforces that shared and mutable borrows cannot coexist.

A similar case to what the parent describes is RCU or crossbeam's epoch-based reclaim.
No, RefCell relaxes the rules from requiring the borrowcheck rules be provably always followed at compile time to requiring the borrowcheck rules be actually followed in the codepaths actually run at runtime. You still can't have a mutation concurrently with a reader.
I don't know any constitution or law that forbids the police from entering peoples home if there was a serious crime. (A warrant

Btw. landlords also may do this under special circumstances, as well as a firemen.

But the default is, that your home is sacred and the doors my not breached. Just as the default for communication should be, that it is private.

If there is a suspect, the police may hack their computers with a warrant, but they may not hack all of our computers(by implementing backdoors), because it is more comfortable for them.
Seems oddly over-specific. Don't they send mails when it's approved/rejected? So is this basically a mail-filter connecting to slack? Just that it's using an API-key. How save is this API? How much can one screw up things or steal data with that key? And it seems rather expensive for such a one-trick task.

Maybe add some more signals to get a real value for the customer, like a real mail-filter, RSS and other newsfeeds (which is popular here) or some dozen more APIs.
I don't think you're right about mechanical shutters being faster. The type of mechanical shutter on most cameras like this is a focal plane shutter[0]. It has two curtains - an upper one and a lower one. When the shutter is closed, the two overlap. For a long exposure (typically anything longer than 1/100s although some cameras are faster) the lower curtain will fall all the way, then the upper curtain will fall to close it off again. But at faster shutter speeds, the upper curtain will start falling before the lower curtain has reached the bottom, and so you can get exactly the same rolling shutter effect with a mechanical shutter as with an electronic shutter. For very fast shutter speeds, the exposure is a narrow slit between the two curtains that travels down the image at a much slower speed than the exposure time, and this is why most cameras can't synchronise with a flash at speeds faster than 1/100s or so. So therefore the type of mechanical shutter in most DSLRs and mirrorless cameras effectively have a rolling shutter transition time of 4-10ms, which is much more than the 0.2ms you claim.

Video-specific cameras are where this might be improved, because you can have a shutter which is a rotating disc, and this can allow faster opening/closing times, because it doesn't need to speed up from a standstill for each frame.

There exist central shutters which are mechanical shutters that act as a global shutter, but these are unusual because they need to be built into each lens you attach to the camera. These are typically limited to a maximum speed of 1/500s.

> I'd argue that the Nikon Z9 is a much better camera if not wanting flash sync due to its lower base ISO.

Yeah. I think a lot of people focus too much on those "high end" specs and too little about small, practical, quality of life things.

I remember how I instantly liked Fuji X100 for its built in ND filter. Yes, you can screw a filter on by yourself. Then you suddenly find yourself on a sunny beach and you wish you had your photo bag with you.

Not saying global shutter isn't nice feature, but that 250 base ISO can be a bit of a hassle depending on what kind of photography you do just like not everybody is going to benefit from the new shutter.
As much as I like privacy and e2ee, this is an important point.

If there were locks or walls that are entirely impenetrable, would people be disallowed to possess or use them?

I probably wouldn't like it, but it seems less crazy than some people make it out to be.

In practice the analogy doesn't hold up of course, since it's costly and noticeable for cops to raid a house but cheap and easy for the government to spy on everyone (and we know how eager they are to do it).
I'm guessing the paint is very fragile, and it wouldn't survive any wear and tear.

> This show car is destined to remain a one-off because of the enormous difficulty involved in making Vantablack paint suitably durable for everyday automotive use. The car paint needed for the world’s blackest black would also be extremely expensive, not to mention questionable in terms of road safety due to its level on the absorption spectrum.
It’s vital and we need people who have the resources to be professionally annoying so that regular people don’t get caught up in this.
No one in Europe made an Omegle like website since 2009?
Does anyone knows what "coming days" mean? Everybody from OpenAI says "it's enabled for Plus and Enterprise users", but it's not.
It’s a pretty grinding process. I’ve been fortunate in the past, staying with 2 companies over the span of 15+ years and I am now having to job hunt for the first time since 2005.

I found a local contracting opportunity that sounded really interesting and something I could probably be a good fit for. It was a small company, 4 people, so I actually emailed the president directly with a well thought out introduction and explaining why I thought I would be a good fit for the position. Radio silence…

So, even the old adage of ‘hit the bricks and knock on doors’ has gone the way of the dodo.
A specific lock and a specific wall. They don't have the right to require all locks and walls to be built with fundamental flaws so they can be broken with the tap of a hammer.

Surely it's obvious? It's because they want to.
It seems sad to me that someone who could have spent his time doing, you know, actual physics, instead has frittered away his life shooting social-scientists in a barrel. How many books on this now? Yeah yeah, we'll all agree that social scientists aren't proper scientists, now will you move on already?
