HN has worked this way for over a decade. It’s a combination of user flags, flamewar detector, and manual moderator classification. The goal is to have a front page that consistently surprises or delights anyone bookish. So the stories that get bumped tend to be ones that do the opposite.
why do you think a German GmbH would need to obey US law in Germany?
I did not think of this, if I understand the license correctly an AGPL webserver used to host third-party websites would only require the ability to download the source of the webserver, while a whit SSPL it would require the ability to download the source for both the infrastructure and the hosted application.

Definitely a different tradeoff that many would not have been confortable in choosing.

This is one of the most powerful things you can learn to do. Question your own assumptions, with the goal of seeing what is holding you back. It literally unblocks you and allows you to do things you never considered doing before.

Aren’t all the Yelps, Glassdoors and Trustpilots of the world all accepting money from companies to take down bad reviews and/or promote good-looking content? To the point of that being the main business model? I remember there used to be a lot of those claims coming up a few years ago, from credible sources.

I don’t trust any review sites these days, especially star ratings. At most I’ll skim through and look for what appears to be authentic reviews with quirky writing, shitty photos and such. However, that’s going away soon too, thanks to AI.
I don't buy that argument – why shouldn't I donate to TIC-80 instead, since it has the potential of reaching also children whose parents don't have $15 burning a hole in their pockets?

I have bought 3 switch consoles and i still want something like a steam deck because steam EOL'd their remote play box. I want something i can play PC games on on a TV that i can also take with me to boring things like waiting rooms. The switch screen (i have the original switch) is too tiny, and it's a very heavy console. Switch lites have even smaller screens, but they weigh much less - it is possible the controllers i use undocked are just heavier, but either way. The steam deck has a higher resolution screen, and i'm sure some devices have greater than FHD resolution with greater than 60FPS "refresh". That's kind of a big deal to my crappy eyes.

Right now i have a laptop connected to my TV to play steam games that support controllers. I'd much rather just have another USB-C to HDMI converter plugged in to a device designed nearly completely to play games.

A huge use case for me would be using wemod/cheatengine and in general steam workshop. The second biggest reason is shovelware. On the switch if i buy a game because it looks good, AFAIK i can't refund it if it's actually a garbage game. On steam, i've requested refunds after playing (some*) games for several days.

* mostly incremental/clicker/idle games, because they're designed to be crappy to start out, so 2 hours isn't even enough time to expose 1% of the content or gameplay.

Thanks a bunch!
Just realizing the above comes off super grumpy.

To clarify, sometimes I get the sense that the sort of people, also like myself, who come on here, have this delusion that this tech stuff will cheat reality. That you do this and that, you play your cards well and you will skip ahead of everyone else in all the other professions in society. A sort of technocratic megalomania.

I absolutely do not know that the OP is like this. My experience „switching” domains is that it can help to find the common familiar denominators with what you know in the new thing. And then, like an anthropologist, to develop a respectful understanding of the people who are experts in this domain. You keep it respectful by recognizing that you’re not going to catch up with them. It’ll be their job to convey to you what their problems are, and yours to listen carefully. You might be good with that hammer you’re holding from your earlier experiences, but they might not even have nails for you to bang on. That’s where the discomfort comes in.
see DIT and DOIT flags referenced in the paper and in the faq question about mitigations. newer CPUs apparently provide functions to do just that.
I’ve always wondered this (specifically for my situation with music copyright) how do you only give access to takedown requests from the actual copyright holder? How do you know they are who they say they are? Music company email address or KYC checks and then sue people who try to do this as a joke?

I wish copyrighted music was a fair price and easy to use, currently for sync licensing the music industry claim to want around 16% of REVENUE which seems insane to me.
Author here. While researching this topic I came across this article https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/compressed-tries/ by GeeksForGeeks (compressed trie is another name for radix tree). Currently it is one of the top results on Google for this topic. Generally I've found GeeksForGeeks to be a good resource, but this article is especially poor. The code is bizarre and makes no sense:

- It defines properties like 'bitNumber', 'leftChild' and 'rightChild' which have nothing to do with this type of tree.

- The search function search(k) calls an overloaded version of itself search(root, k) that is (1) illegal in these languages and (2) not defined.

- The insert function does not account for all scenarios.

And more.

I'm fairly convinced this was written with the assistance of a LLM. That would be a logical explanation to all those illogical choices.

Those things that are notoriously reliable and common: discipline, good leadership and a culture of adaptation. Anything _relying_ on discipline is doomed from the start.

Deliberately forgoing a rounded education to start a business 3 years earlier is very short term thinking. It may enable people to follow their instincts and the lead of others with similar backgrounds, but robs bright people of an opportunity to be challenged, persuaded or to change path based on deeper understanding.

Many of the biggest problems in the current tech space are born of founders who in their mid thirties discover ideas and people they would have encountered in their teens in University. Zuckerberg, Musk and others are staggeringly incurious about anything which wasn’t always their passion and have never been required to confront ideas and concepts they have no affinity to.

Some of these people will succeed monetarily but none of them will be better people for knowing less. I have never met a founder who failed to grasp business because they were “wasting” time studying other things. In fact the best engineers I have ever employed have come from non engineering backgrounds and brought with them a wealth of perspective and insight.
The reason it took so longe is because carriers are still involved with RCS, and carriers suck.

Every successful messaging protocol aside from SMS does so by routing around the carrier and sending messages over data. iMessage, WhatsApp, telegram, signal etc.

This is very interesting. This is similar to how Big Tech runs tech projects in a vastly different way than the “good practices” for agile/scrum commonly adopted by the industry at large.

e.g. https://blog.pragmaticengineer.com/project-management-at-big...

Similarly the article on OKRs describes small but critical adjustments from the OKRs cannon (Measure What Matters) that only scale-ups and Big Tech seem to know about. Everyone else too often tries to:

1. Cascade OKRs down from the top, sometimes outside Product & Engineering (in teams that are more process- than project-based like sales), killing team-level autonomy in the process.

2. Write Objectives for time consuming activities, rather than having a non-OKR work / BAU section that captures it. This makes it much harder for other teams to rely on OKRs to understand the context of what’s changing and to have key cross-team alignment conversations.

3. Focus on OKR tracking and scoring, possibly through a dedicated tool. This misses the point that the primary value of a plan is in the planning, not the deliverable, and risks making OKRs a performance management tool (at which point teams discuss KRs endlessly to sandbag rather than setting stretch goals and moving on).

But when you say the local implementation looks both overkill and misguided compared to what works at other tech shops, people point to the OKR book as what drives their own implementation. :)
Truly a service to the world. I think this is a classic example of "somebody ought to do $X" and nobody ever having done it. Thanks.

As someone who loves working with CSS for layout, I am mostly relying on Flexbox and Grids these days — it is totally understandable that these are not supported yet — but do you plan to do so at some point? If so, how can others help?
Because a computer is a general-purpose tool. A computer is not a box made to be cozy and support creative, limited programming work.

If you're looking for specific use-cases, that's exactly what userland software is for. Userland software takes the general computer and converts it to something specific. If you are looking for a cozy environment that supports creative, limited programming work, you run userland software for that!

It's like software-defined networking except software-defined creative environments. Some people prefer Photoshop, and others Picotron. The computer gives you the choice, and userland software is the mechanism by which it does so.

If anything, I'd like to turn your observation around: isn't it marvellous that the same machine allows one person to run Photoshop and another Picotron, with almost no change required to switch between the two environments?
You don't even need to use file() for a lot of things recently. These just work with clickhouse local. Even wildcards work.

Nintendo evaporating community goodwill by using our money to take aggressive action against supposed piracy enablers makes it easy to justify actual piracy.
> cells producing flagella because they are useful components makes perfect sense on its own.

But that's the thing, this sort of implies that a complete flagellum can be spontaneously produced because it's useful, which sort of collides with the parent comment on systems evolving by combining previously useful components.

Flagella aren't useful until they are complete. So intermediate forms should be lost, right?

Would this leave us in a scenario where a single combination of several mutations at the same time suddenly gives you a complete, functional flagellum?

As you explained yourself, it's not a real alternative, because it relies on Google itself, who can always decide to break it. A real alternative is GNU/Linux phones, Librem 5 and Pinephone. And yes, they are very niche and not easy to make.

Well, if you have a reputation for suing anyone who even breathes funny, suing one group or two high-profile groups every so often is cheaper than suing hundreds of smaller things that might be more prevalent if you didn't have a reputation of landing on people.

This part of the article matches my understanding of the difference:

> Switch versus checkbox

> Generally, we recommend using a switch when the end user understands the user interface element as a setting that is either “on” or “off”. A checkbox is well suited for when the end user would understand the element as something to be selected.
As if taking down a couple of the thousands of copies of an FOSS repo will slow anyone down.

All Nintendo did is make it easier for people on the fence to decide if they want to financially support them or pirate.
Sort of. It uses TensorFlow for object recognition and categorization. I personally wouldn't say it's very reliable. I'm not going to compare it to Google Photos, though, as I never fed my photo library to the latter.
The article puts it quite well

OpenAI GPT-4 vs. Groq Mistral-8x7B
seems rather hostile. any idea what's the rationale behind it?
It's essentially an advance payment of capital gains tax before you have realized those gains (fictionally treating it as a sale from yourself in Germany to yourself abroad). If you just sold off the company outright, you'd have to pay the same tax, but then you'd also definitely have the money to do so.
The difference between SMS and iMessage doesn't really count in this context, since usage is largely transparent. Its the same app, and the same contact list.
> Your stylized example is unrelated to reality. Users cannot subscribe to Spotify in app, so Apple makes no money

And what do you think the reason for that is?

Simply absurd logic. The device owner paid for their device and the OS. Apple already got their cash bag for it.
At least with old fashioned keys you can't easily give out a duplicate. I was once in bed, late at night, lights out, when someone let themselves into my room - a rather drunk guy demanding to know what I was doing in his room. The desk clerk had got his room number wrong and given him another card to mine. It all worked out OK, but under other circumstances I could imagine that it might not.

The future is decentralized.
But again you're starting with a fairly complex system already, the molecular pump.

And my (limited) understanding is that changes that are not useful or helpful would get lost.

And additional to that, if an organism has a pump (which it needs to function properly) and that pump suddenly is no pump, it's a very bad flagellum, that organism has a very big problem. It's like if we swapped our arms for wings. Wings are cool, but we wouldn't be able to fly anyway, and we'd have serious problems as humans with no arms and hands.

I can easily send SMS to any Android phone from my iPhone. I really dont understand your reasoning.

IOW, SMS is cross-platform. Whats the issue?
In non-existence there is no space for existence to exist. So existence can only exist within the realms of existence. So within existence asking the question why there is an existence does not make sense. Because you can only ask the question of you exist, and that proves you're inside existence and not inside non-existence. And existence needs to fill up the space that non-existence doesn't fill up. You can't have one without the other.

Existence can also be seen as causation. Everything within existence has a cause and an effect. The rain comes from the clouds, the clouds come from the sea, the sea comes from the rivers, the rivers come from the mountains, etc. But causation itself doesn't have a cause or effect, because all causes and effects are concepts within causation.

Also think of the speed of light. The closer you get to it, the faster time goes for you. At the speed of light, there is no time anymore, and everything is in one moment. We are zoomed in on this oneness existence and viewing it from different perspectives, which we perceive as spacetime.
By contrast I own a Switch and a Steam Deck and ripped dozens of games I legally purchased to play on my Steam Deck.

Nintendo, please sue me! I would love to help establish more case law here
As a marketer who helped manage various companies' reputation online, I can tell you that Glassdoor is pay-to-play. If you pay them the subscription fee, and you get negative reviews, whether "true" or not, you can challenge most and get them removed. I thought most people would understand their business model explicitly relies on getting companies to pay a fee to own their page (and in turn they have to keep those customers happy by removing reviews they don't like) but I continue seeing recruits relying on this site as if it's some unbiased source of info.
> Unless the country you're trying to ignore is the US.

Well, that really depends on where in the world you are.

If you are in a Western country, the US will probably find a way of getting to you.

If you are in China or Russia, maybe not – especially if your business isn't dependent on the US (and its allies) for its inputs or outputs.
I don't see the problem with it being the current product lineup, archiving happens during the lifetime of a product, not just after.
Yes, but merely a reflection and reminder of a dystopian reality that already permeated society long ago. It’s obvious that if they are allowed they would. The faster people drop the illusion that corporations[1] have emotions and “care” and such, the better people can protect themselves, organize and rebalance the scales I guess.

[1]: A generalization. There are more amoral, faceless self-perpetuating machines than just corporations, and there are many small- and medium sized companies that may be incorporated while maintaining human decency.

You are entitled to your view but I think it is a little unempathetic to be unable or unwilling to put yourself in the shoes of entrepreneurs when the topic is how attractive a place is for them. Of course, all things being equal, a business wants to pay as little for labor as possible.

Speaking as a German, wrt pay I think this topic is not quite so simple. Germany doesn't have particularly high wages and one of the reasons for that is that labor costs are so high. How can that be? Simple: all labor protection that we have is, at end, simply a cost. Yes, we have payed sick leave. Very civilized. But German employees call out sick, on average, 11 days a years. That's almost two weeks pay for no labor. In a global, competitive labor market that cost isn't coming out of the profits of the company. It's coming out of our wages. And so it is with all the other "goodies" that we get.

Btw, our cohesion isn't really what it used to be either.
There’s a little more to it than that too. A switch is typically setting something that takes effect immediately, whereas a checkbox is a state setting that needs to be saved to take effect.
