I'm not criticizing just noticing...

only on HN do I frequently read comments about being upset with the spacing, formatting, font, layout, etc of articles.

I find it interesting. Nobody on reddit ever makes that comment. Maybe it's because a lot of you come from STEM academic backgrounds.

I read the whole article on my phone and wasnt bothered at all by the experience.
yes, people like OP who get the farms of scrapers.

The website owners make their preferences clear with robots.txt, IP blocks and other antibot technology. Scrapers intentionally ignore owners' desires and force the to respond.
We check for ticks every day you have been in the garden or just outside in the woods. Less than 2% of ticks carry Lyme disease, and there is even less chance you actually get a infection, and that the infection becomes a permanent infection. As far as I know, Lyme disease is not that dangerous, but the bacteria can enter stasis and "hide" in different parts of your body, until it suddenly becomes active again, then really blossom if you are weakened for other reasons. The point is just that there is a less than 2% chance of even getting a tick that is a carrier, even less chance you get sick, even less chance it ends up in the dangerous stasis state. One usually does not treat for Lyme, until enough of the symptoms have started showing.
The levels are more Wolfenstein 3D than Doom.

If you add a FIDO2 key as a security key in the admin console, it will show as a "passkey" in Google account settings, but it will actually be a non-resident key used only for 2FA and won't be able to be used for anything more than that.

Keys that do not support resident keys (or when you turn FIDO2 off) show differently in Google account settings which makes it all very confusing. The UX is inexcusable, really.

As a side note, turning on Advanced Protection also turns off passkeys.
The game itself 404s for me, and looking it up, it used Flash. But it's included in Zach-like.

Per care.com[1], the threshold is $2700 per year:

For all intents and purposes, a babysitter is looked at just like a nanny in that if they must adhere to the schedule you set and come to your home to take care of your kids based on the rules you set, the IRS will most likely view this as an employment relationship. And taxes can sneak up on you quickly. If the babysitter earns just $15 per hour and works even 10 hours per week, you’ll cross the $2,700 tax withholding threshold in a little over four months.

Reading the part about global state reminds me of some of my thoughts building backend web apps. Not having global namespace pollution is fine, but not having any global registry of some sort can make things far harder for the size that most things are going to be.

If you actually follow the people in the React team, they've moved on to things that are not front-end framework. However lame React is these days, htmlx etc are even lamer. No one quits a well-paid job at Meta or Vercel to then go continue working on the same boring shit.
I remember it used to be and may still be the case that Android OS updates would be held up on both the OEM and the carrier. So Samsung may have finished their version of the update, but your carrier can't be bothered reapplying their bloatware to it so you aren't getting the update.
Except their jobs and the services they need are also more spread out. Plus their friends and family and further away. The result: now those people need cars and the benefit of any cost savings is lost. That's not to mention the other problems that come with increased automobile usage.

I'm sorry, it's just not that simple.

The thing with intuition vs arithmetic is that intuition sums up both conscious and unconscious knowledge. Often there’s more, deeper that happens unconsciously. So, in reality, a strong intuition may be fooled by otherwise simplistic arithmetic that fails to represent the essence of the intuition.

That is not to say that if your intuition results in incorrect arithmetic/logic it would make any sense to stick to it :))

No. The stupidity has shown. Clearly.
Dodd-Frank in the US appears to require all financial institutions to record all conversations related to particular activities, despite the lack of an active lawsuit.

It's very difficult to search for definite information about this, but the requirements may have the effect of forcing the recording of every conversation just in case it happens to touch on trading activities or another recording-required topic.

Only high-level is written in python, low level is Cuda that is a form of C.

Also, you would think the first to replace workers with AI would be the AI companies like Google.

I got kind of petty and wanted to avoid the $40-50/month my wife spends on Pura scent refills. We also have multiple units in house, and I think they’re ugly (look like smoke alarms on wall). So I made a device to add scent juice in our HVAC system directly. It’s not as controllable, which hasn’t been a problem for us, but it is a more true full home experience which has been really nice actually.

Yeah. I don’t get it. The linked article gives great details.
The first part is true.

Murder doesn't require a gun, murder isn't a universally essential act, and guns don't have to shoot. Knife crime murder is epidemic in some countries. Guns can also be decorations, used for sport of marksmanship, or insurance policies against home invasion; they are inanimate objects without intent of their own. Killing is occasionally essential when all other means of self-defense have been thoroughly exhausted and someone else is intent on great bodily harm or murder that cannot otherwise be prevented with lesser available force or evasion.
I like the map being a toggle, because I could navigate by looking at the map while I move around (helps with that confusion). The 3d view is needed to see items, pots, and enemies, and that's fine, but ideally those would show on the map too.
It's also some implicit protection for workers. If someone is asking for something shady, you can ask for it in writing.
reproduce something

No one is developing a 5 server cluster with 200+ 4g modems to observe publicly available information. They are using said cluster to deliberately work around blocks, rate limits, and restrictions on scrapers who are scraping content solely to reproduce the data and use it for commercial purposes (make money)

The Polestar 2 that Hertz gave me last time kept flashing warning messages on the dashboard about problems with the airbag (yikes) and the cooling system. The front seat headroom was totally inadequate for a tall person like me. When I tried to recharge it before returning it just said "Error" and refused to charge at all (tried multiple chargers). A total piece of junk.

When I complained upon return the Hertz employee was nice about it and gave me a voucher that covered the cost of the rental.
> Apple can't have their cake and eat it too, you either replace SMS and the multiplatform commitments that come with it or you don't.

You keep suggesting that Apple replaced SMS. They didn't. So per this new statement, they have no multi-platform commitments because they haven't done anything to warrant it.
> This implant is a memory-resident shellcode interpreter that enables adversaries to upload and execute arbitrary shellcode payloads.

This sounds interesting. I'm eager to see some code.
let me copy a comment i had in another article:

did you ever try to use any USA federal service? (veteran benefits, free tax filing, ssn, etc). you're required an id.me account.

what's that? well some anonymous group saw login.gov, realized the value of the data, and lobbied that it should be open to free capital markets to explore, not the government!

so now if you want to even talk to the irs or veteran service, you need to go to that privately owned id.me site, do a video call, scan all the documents they ask for (even ones without visible anti counterfeit mechanics like your typewritter filled ssn card).

and the best part? right after you create your account, you land on a coupon clipping page that is a facsimile of the garbage pamphlet the usps is forced to shove daily in yout physical mailbox! and among the links on that page are links to Whitepapers about how advertisers can benefit from buying user data from them because it includes gov affiliation like vetetan, taxpayer, etc and bank information!
I feel like I'm ok with Amazon execs needing to not auto-delete their messages when the FTC is doing discovery about anti-competitive practices ... but how far down does that go?

- can a smaller or privately held company being sued be obligated to keep all their communications in a form which can be subpoenaed?

- is a family business being sued under the same obligation? What if execs in that family business have both personal and business conversations?

- is an individual being sued under the same obligation?

- if I want access to someone's personal messages, can I contrive a reason to sue them, and create such an obligation to deliver personal correspondence to my counsel?

- if Senator McCarthy thinks you're maybe a communist, can he publish your name as part of a list of suspicious persons and provide legal funds for to any wannabe vigilante who can contrive a suit against you?

At some point, I think we as a society need to agree on what rights to privacy exist, how solid they are, which rights are enjoyed by individuals and which rights if any also apply to corporations.
OS cohesion/themes are already kind of a dead idea. These days the priority is cohesion within the app and platform. When I open Discord, it looks basically the same on Android, iOS, Mac, Linux, Windows, and web. If I know where something is on one platform, I can find it on all the others. I don't care that Discord on Mac doesn't look like Spotify on Mac.

The others are also kind of mute points, No one is auditing app updates, and I'm not sure how an app can be more trusted with access to a usb/bluetooth device than a website. they are both 3rd party programs doing the same thing.

Okay that is fair, you'd reduce administrative and enforcement costs if the tax code was simplified, but creating and managing new programs would also lead to extra overheard. I suppose to ground these arguments we'd need to discuss numbers, but its hard to generate data on this w/o specifics.
Why does the Apply button on getbackendjobs dot com redirect you to startup dot jobs to the actual site the job is posted to?

I got a chuckle when I saw the getbackendjobs dot com site ask to 'reference getbackendjobs', then on start dot jobs, it says 'reference startup dot jobs' :D

There are also jobs listed that are not available.

C'mon. Signing up for a store to buy a thing doesn't grant permission to bother me with a newsletter, you very frequently just can't opt out until they've sent you something.

That's the "I'm not touching you" of compliance and spam-in-spirit should have a mudhole stomped into it--and yet does not.

Well, when one group disenfranchises you via military conquest without such a Noble Distinction, and you cannot defeat them in a Noble Battle, you expand the available choices. And it seems to have worked out for most independence movements.
You make no sense. Germany protects domestic manufacturing to keep their engineers and workers employed, admirable. Who exactly is US trying to keep employed? Please tell me something concrete, don’t use Orwellian terminology like Open markets when you mean Govt Regulated markets.

Without Apple’s introduction of the smart-phone, millions of app development jobs would not exist. Apple’s 30% tax is reducing profits of some developers, the biggest ones are complaining but none of it is gutting the economy, app development is not being shifted overseas because Apple made the cost of development too high. If anything it is the literal opposite, SWE salaries are still increasing because the demand for app developers still outpaces the supply, and people are more than willing to pay 6 figures+ for a good SWE.

The funny thing is your frame has some truth to it, it’s just your entire thinking is hopelessly muddled that you focus on everything that doesn’t matter. There is case, where the government can step in, raise the price of the iPhones to employ more people, cause net consumer harm but still be better for society. That is in iPhone manufacturing where all the jobs have been shifted overseas and no trade worker in US gets employed to make iPhones. This is a real problem, and yet no one in the FTC cares about this, they may not even know this problem exists in their desperate bid to grab power and come up on the front page of NYT with a big win. And what will they achieve? They will let some other app developers make more money, but no offense to 99% of HN, you guys are highly paid and a 30% higher potential margin really doesn’t matter. They will dictate design decisions to a company that is probably 100000x better at design than the FTC is and get fawning reviews from NYT, get invited to talks at universities, maybe even get called to a late night show (has happened before) and that is probably all that matters to them.
If you have sufficient karma, you can click a dead comment’s timestamp and “vouch” it back to life (which I’ve done).
Aren't you also volunteering your data? Don't browsers just talk to your webserver and say "Hey, what do you have?" and your site responds in kind.
In my experience, the email retention policy is guided by whatever regulations with which the company has to comply. I’ve worked at places with insanely long retention policies because of that.
> Maybe it's technically not port knocking anymore, but it's the same idea.

At that point, it’s equivalent to a point-to-point VPN, which is the same as IPSec transport mode. Which is what you ought to be using instead of port knocking, if your threat model includes 0-day vulnerabilities in public-facing services like SSH.
.. and also annoys people with slow hardware while costing very little to serious scrapers?

I remember the first day we started Mosaic on a work computer, then looked around at Gopher pages.
I didn’t mean it’s a bad question, I just assumed they thought there was a server process involved. But yeah you can self-host a static JS app easily, or put it on GitHub Pages or whatever, if you’re worried about it going offline.
The reason it can't do that is that, for example, "twenty" and "20" are nearly identical in the vector embedding space and it can't really distinguish them that well in most contexts. That's true for generally any task that relies on sort of "how the words look" vs "what the words mean". Any kind of meta request is going to be very difficult for an LLM, but a multi-modal GPT model should be able to handle it.
I have a housekeeper who only comes in once a month and (I learn) is fairly inexpensive though it doesn’t seem that way. Weekly it would be way over the threshold. I assume
my lawn guy whose basic work is under that threshold —and has a business—doesn’t count either although he does other jobs as well for me and others. But that’s true of contractors generally. So I assume one just does what most people do in common situations.

And at some point you just pay cash.
my point being, after you've already filtered anyone with a brain and means to avoid that (i paid intuit even qualifying for free filling, and a lawyer to deal with veteran stuff in person), of course you will get high marks on a survey.

i bet Stalin also had good approval after the purge
I parked my Model Y in a garage in LA about a year ago and was sitting in the car charging from a J1772 port while my family shopped. Two women in a Model 3 parked next to me and tried for 20 minutes to plug their car in. I watched but didn't intrude. Finally they saw me and knocked on my window to ask me how to charge.
I asked them if they had a J1772 adapter and they had no idea what I was talking about. They said they had rented the car. They looked everywhere in the car but no adapter. I suggested a supercharger and showed them how to find one on the car's screen. This was also the first time they had heard the word "supercharger."

Whoever they rented the car from (likely Hertz but I didn't ask) had done absolutely nothing to describe the charging procedure to these unfortunate customers.
Why does apple ahve to encourage that behavior though? Theyve designed iMessage to make the experience worse with some people, it absolutely encourages exclusionary behavior among those who arent inclined to be exclusionary. Obviously some kids are just assholes, but plenty arent just going around looking for things to be mean about.

Just me, but my whole attitude toward podcasts is transcripts or GTFO. I can read much faster than I can listen.
Fun concept, really makes me want to play Legend of Grimrock 2 again. I don't know if the devs are here, but here's my feedback:

* The wand's cooldown is way too low. It has infinite charge so there's no consequence to stunning enemies, attacking them, moving backwards, repeating. You can effectively stunlock any enemy.

* Dragon's attack speed is almost instant. There should be an attack animation before it shoots a fireball, right now it feels like it's faster than any melee enemy. Ranged units should be manageable when they're close.

* A dungeoncrawler needs traps. Where are the floor spikes, wall axes, giant rolling stone balls? It needs it.

* The "Read more about this project" links to a 404, I guess this is an old project.
> The scenario you described is possible if you started at the South Pole. If you travel 24,901 miles east from there, you would indeed end up back at the same spot

Would you? How can you travel east at all, starting from the South Pole? There is no east. Every direction you face is north.

OTOH, every line of latitude whose length is an integral divisor of 24,901 miles will satisfy the problem.
