“The regulations exclude revenue from audiobooks, podcasts, video game services, and user-generated content. The exclusion of revenue from user-generated content is a win for Google's YouTube.”

Yeah it also makes sure Montreal’s thriving video game industry isn’t negatively impacted either. And Google have branches in Canada employing Canada maybe Netflix doesn’t have as many I wonder about that.

This is another reason why I hate it when countries do stuff like this because they always implement it very hypocritically too. They didn’t innovate the wildly popular product that has come into their country or “being dumped” into their country which is usually their word choice driven by envy and their local competition can’t compete so they pull nonsense like this to get at some of that revenue.

India and China have done variations of this for years but now Europe and it looks like Canada are doing it or planning to and I’m sure soon other countries.

Even here in America this has started with Biden’s recent moves on China and Trump wants to double those if elected. So both parties are moving into this mindset.

Most American multinational companies generally thrive in a global marketplace, same with Japanese, Chinese, South Korean, and German companies. I know Spotify was Scandinavian but they moved to the US some time back right?

I guess rest of the world got fed up with this small set of countries dominating the Consumer Tech and Entertainment marketplace and wants to grab at some of their revenue when it’s coming from people living within their borders using the international product.

Companies will probably just pass these costs on to the consumers and try to minimize absorption.
This technique has a problem with combinatorial explosion: N operators, N(N-1) exclusion rules plus a high risk of writing them incorrectly.

Consider the 2 operators example near the end:

Expr =
'number'
| '(' Expr ')'
| Expr '+' Expr
| Expr '*' Expr

Expr !=
Expr '+' [Expr '+' Expr]
| Expr '*' [Expr '*' Expr]
| Expr '*' [Expr '+' Expr]
| [Expr '+' Expr] '*' Expr

There are 1 exclusion per operator to enforce associativity (not problematic) and 2 exclusions (out of 4 trees containing both operators) to enforce precedence. These scale quadratically: if we add, say, exponentiation ('^') we need to add both

Expr!=
| Expr '^' [Expr '+' Expr]
| [Expr '+' Expr] '^' Expr

and

Expr!=
| Expr '^' [Expr '*' Expr]
| [Expr '*' Expr] '^' Expr

And so on.

There is a simpler but less elegant technique to constrain associativity and precedence: different types used asymmetrically.

Expr_base = 'number' | '(' Expr ')'
Expr_plus= Expr_plus '+' Expr_base | Expr_base
Expr_mul= Expr_mul '*' Expr_plus| Expr_plus
Expr_exp= Expr_mul '^' Expr_exp| Expr_mul
Expr=Expr_exp

Expr_mul contains no '^', Expr_plus contains no '^' and no '*', Expr_base contains no operator at all.
We all know air travel is safe. The concern is that the complacency involved with folks just parroting that argument is leading us to a world where that's no longer the case. Air travel isn't safe because of magic, it's safe because of decades of work, strong safety cultures, good regulations, etc. We're seeing Boeing had gutted it's safety culture, the FAA's made questionable safety decisions, overworked air traffic controllers leading to near misses, and so on. Despite the common refrain - the safety of air travel is a marvel of engineering, management, and regulation, not an innate law of the universe. If those pillars start cracking, we need to be clear eyed, take that extremely seriously, and fix it with high urgency
That's not really a satisfying answer. I could say human brains don't really think, they're just transmitting electrical signals in a saline suspension. Technically true, but it ignores the larger emergent behavior.
Yep, but everyone is moving to it…

If you look at the readings on the screen and do some basic physics instead of relying on the press releases of a biased party, you will realize that they were short of orbital velocity. At that altitude, orbital velocity is 27000 km/h, and IFT3 got to 21000-22000 km/h.

As we're speaking, IFT4 has reached orbit.

If handiwork and subsistence farming are not what makes you happy, living in a cabin in the woods will not make you happy, because when you cannot outsource them to the rest of society, nearly all your time will be spent doing those things in order to survive.

Even once these basics are sorted, you will only live happily outside society as long as you are lucky enough to stay healthy.
At times, I have thought about trying to explain the modern world to someone from 1920. "Well, we've got automobiles, but they're much faster and require less maintenance, and we have better roads for them. And we've got airplanes, but they're much bigger, and they crash far less often. And we've got better machines for farming, and better medicines..." You could explain television. You could explain transistors - they had vacuum tubes. Computers would be harder - they had mechanical adding machines, but the many-order-of-magnitude-faster computers is a qualitative change that makes them not "like" anything that existed in 1920.

But when I think about trying to explain to someone from 1820, you can't explain anything. They were 40 years before Maxwell's Equations, so no electricity, no radio, no telegraph, no telephone. They were before the first common-carrier railroad. The first internal combustion powered automobile was 1808, but they were not yet practical in any sense. The precursors aren't there. (Yes, the industrial revolution is starting. The products of the industrial revolution that will change how we live aren't there yet, though.)
It's dubious that a lot of the papers citing this paper are actually drawing conclusions based on this paper. Per Derek Lowe [1]:

> I could be wrong about this, but from this vantage point the original Lesné paper and its numerous follow-ups have largely just given people in the field something to point at when asked about the evidence for amyloid oligomers directly affecting memory. [...] The expressions in the literature about the failure to find *56 (as in the Selkoe lab’s papers) did not de-validate the general idea for anyone - indeed, Selkoe’s lab has been working on amyloid oligomers the whole time and continues to do so.

That fact alone makes me wonder what the bigger story is.

E.g.: Are the pros/cons considerations very close to a tie? Is this change a no-brainer, implying that something about the Java is really slow to improve the language?
That's only one cause of high energy prices in Germany. Most of them are self-inflicted "green" policies.
Which makes sense if you think about it.

Once you get past the age of fairly widespread deaths from childhood diseases (often prevented by vaccines), a lot of people in modern society don't get a lot of critical medical care from maybe their 20s through 40s. Sure, some do, but tons of younger people don't routinely see doctors--even when doing so is free.

As people get into what we now consider about late middle age, modern healthcare for a variety of things becomes more and more important.
Seeing it seemingly hover right over the water and then slowly tip over was amazing!

Go SpaceX! Go Starship!
They turned off the engines early specifically to not reach orbital velocity.
For multiple lexies into a single identifier, I love middle dot (·), which is actually works in most modern languages out of the box. Example `some·variable`. Try it in your favorite languages and let me now how it goes.

For elements that have to bee ditched in a destructuring operation, like `target, _ = some·generator()`, it’s possible to use a word that explicit this discard. One short one term for that is "lee", as in "Basest part, ‘dregs’, ‘refuse’[1]."

I wasn’t aware that many people disliked so much underscore and other YOLO approaches to morphe agglutination. I always felt sad that we had to endure this ridiculous typographical masochism that plague the whole industry. But going against a widespread habit, as absurd and sore could it be, is generally its own road to some form flagellation.

The rate of descent is absolutely astonishing, 8km -> 1km in 20 seconds, then just hovers above the water. Absolutely incredible work by the SpaceX team.

Living in central Florida I cannot wait for the new launch facility to come online. We're going to have lines of spectators into the space coast like we did for the shuttle.

If any of you are heading to Disney World you should stop by the NASA Kennedy Visitor Complex, it is so well done and not that expensive (it takes less time than 1 line at Disney world to get to :) ). It has the original launch control room for Apollo that you can tour, a Saturn V rocket that is laid horizontally and you can walk under, the crew module for the moon landing. My favorite part is the Atlantis shuttle suspended from the ceiling, they left it in its "raw" landed format with scorch marks and tiles, it looks absolutely amazing.
Wasn't the whole point of building the thing to make physical all that symbolic stuff in the first place?
So if it is not in the thermal IR range, I suppose it is not particularly useful in seeing humans and other warm-blooded animals in the dark? As far as I know, there is not much ambient IR at night time.

What I would find most useful when driving at night is glasses that attenuate intense light rays, so that the increasingly-powerful oncoming headlights will not be blinding. I have a vague impression that channel-plate image intensifiers have this property, on account of individual channels saturating in their ability to release electrons.
i think services with lots of auth options (like google) are gravitating towards identifier first authentication because it is the middle ground between meeting sec requirements and keeping UX frictionless. also, in the case of kratos you were able to enable a bazillion methods by default, which would create one node for each method which in turn would make your UI look very confusing as kratos would require you to render one button for each method
> Would you say the same about great works of fiction, or old fairy tales

Do you thing religious followers, such as Matthew, see god/heaven/etc as being merely a metaphor?

> That they're just falsehoods because duh

per previous poster: "laws and government don’t tell you how the world works"

works of fiction doesn't purport to either. They might have morals, or subtexts, as much of the contents of the Bible does - but some things in there are meant to be at least partially literal, such as the existence of a divine being that created the world.

What's the greater message behind "God takes care of lesser creatures" when there's no proof of such a thing? That things will generally turn out alright if you don't plan ahead (demonstratably bad advice)..
If you take control over your keymap and break out of the idea that the keycaps have to say what the key actually does, the problem is rarely insufficient keys on the keyboard to do what you want, even before you start mucking around with layers or other fancy things. A key that you want to have at hand, but only occasionally, is fine on a SHIFT-CTRL or CTRL-ALT or CTL-Win setup and very few things are default bound to such shortcuts in general.

If it's only a couple of such keys, it is generally not too difficult to use someone else's keyboard if you need to; slightly annoying but you will recover how to do whatever it is you're doing right now reasonably quickly.

I recently switched to this 64-key keyboard: https://mistelkeyboard.com/products/0a26d32ac1e3b1d2af2896e0... I've got a setup where I put one half on each armrest. After a brief adjustment, it's fine, I've got everything I need at hand, and I use the keyboard like crazy; I have not obsessed over setting up a no-mouse setup, but I can hit the mouse single digit numbers of times per hour pretty easily. There's plenty of keys.

Even if they are not on a great circle, they could be on a circle (still unlikely as 4 of them would have to be aligned with the other 3).
That was breathtaking! Now just hoping we get even more spectacular views of Starship's reentry plasma than last time. Everything about this vehicle screams "sci-fi future".

Keely, engineering student and Augmental MouthPad^ user
“It’s given me a spark.”

The MouthPad^ is out in the world, transforming users’ lives at work, in play, and everything in between. For Keely Horch, a student at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, the MouthPad^ is an essential tool in the classroom, and a “layer of freedom” wherever she goes.

“I’m excited about the future because of the independence I have now from the MouthPad^,” said Keely. “Being able to stay up late to do homework or play games, it gives me a sense of normalcy.”

“It's given me the motivation to want to take control of my life.”

An incoming sophomore, Keely is studying math and computer engineering. She uses her MouthPad^ to code, draw equations, and take notes during lecture, where voice control is not an option. Hear Keely's story in the video above.

This past year, Augmental has worked with 40 early-access customers, each with unique abilities or mobility challenges, to evolve the MouthPad^s capabilities and refine the onboarding journey.

The MouthPad^ Early Access program is quickly expanding to everyone in the US. Join our waitlist to reserve your spot! [augmental.tech/waitlist](https://www.augmental.tech/waitlist)

A similar thing happened to me around 2020 or so. Getting a sane answer from Twitter’s support just wasn’t possible. So I created a completely new Twitter account. Then later a Mastodon account.

It wasn't "prescient" at all because in the five years since this discussion nothing happened with orjson.

Casting aspersions on someone based on a five year old discussion with no evidence whatsoever by referring to a completely unrelated incident is ... not brilliant.

This is the HN variant of "Twitter outrage" over some innocent five year old Tweet.

Curious - I was watching the live stream, and noticed as the ship's rockets were on, there were a bunch of these "floaters" in the view.

https://imgur.com/a/OrZTYxP

I know nearly nothing about rocketry, so ELI5 (or give me a wikipedia link!)... anyone know what those floaters are? Is it some byproduct of the fuel? An artifact of the cameras? An illusion coming through the haze of the burning rocket?
Yeah it’s hard to comprehend how powerful those engines are. The booster is relatively light without all the propellant and starship when it’s attempting to land, but it’s still 30 stories tall and I’m assuming it weighs dozens of tons.
No logged in and am viewing it just fine.
Starlark needs metering so you can do fair polling when embedded in an application, then resume the paused processes.
That's what I was thinking as it was going on about driving. True "night vision" is going to have an even harder time with modern headlights coming at me than my eyes do.
Hi, thanks for the feedback. I've been building this at Ory.

> It is usually worse for users using a password manager, since some of them will not be able to detect/autofill the password field on the second page. But I haven't checked, maybe Kratos UI is supported by all major password managers and this is not an issue here.

The two-step flow is currently only implemented for registration, so autofill should not be a concern. However, we surely want to inform the password manager to store the correct password after registration.

Do you think https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Credentials... is the correct way to inform a password manager?

> Since the parameter is called "enable_legacy_flow", does it mean it will be removed in future releases?

In general we perceive the two-step registration as an UX improvement when you have multiple credential strategies, which previously would generate a long registration form with repeated fields. However, we have no plan to remove the config value in the forseeable future.
Giving Users Their Platform Back
This is the liberal viewpoint (I subscribe to it too). The conservative viewpoint is to do mostly do what our ancestors did (given it worked for many generations). My problem with this approafh is that it limits progress and favours folks who are already doing well.
Why is this on HN when it's clearly political in nature and contains suspected propaganda (let's not argue about this one)?

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.
This would be an extremely difficult calculation to build consensus around, because so many assumptions would go into where exactly one could even consider building such sites.

They would have to be near enough to water to maintain life, or have access to freshwater for the religious communities there, they would have to be near building materials, they would have to be near population centers, etc.

the video from the booster simulated landing in the ocean was incredible!
It came in and did a soft landing vertically just touching the ocean, engines cut, it appeared to be floating for a second and then just kind of slowly fell over.

I did not think they would nail the booster landing this flight, as it was not stable all the way down on the last flight. Absolutely incredible watching this live

Show HN: App to share vital info with family after you die
Hey HN, I co-created a simple iOS/Android app designed to help you securely gather important information in the form of notes, screenshots, and photos (e.g., life insurance, pension funds, bank accounts, information about your crypto - not necessarily leaving your passphrases here, but mentioning where you've hidden them - why not?) that significant others will need when you pass away.

The app automatically passes this info on to them when it detects you’re gone (i.e., you stop responding to app notifications and - if configured - it’s confirmed by your Trusted Friends).

It's secure (users' notes never pass through our servers and we don't have any access to them) and very easy to use.

If you'd like to try it out - and review it or give me your feedback, you can find links to the official beta versions on Google Play and the Apple App Store on the website: LegacyApp.co.uk (or LegacyApp.rip).

You can also get it directly from:

- Android -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobilityso...
- iOS -> https://testflight.apple.com/join/E6RjPJqn (you'll need test flight app)

Some information about security. We've built it to be secure, call it 4-layer:

1: SECURITY BY DESIGN - Your personal notes never pass through our servers. They remain on your device and your cloud storage, making it impossible for us or anyone else to access them.

2: DATA ENCRYPTION - All user notes are encrypted with a 256-bit AES military-grade encryption algorithm. Even if someone gains access to your cloud storage, they won't be able to decrypt your notes.

3: "TWO-PART" PASSWORD - The encryption key comprises a strong user-defined password and a 90-character password generated by our server. This combination makes it extremely challenging to crack.

4: TRUSTED FRIENDS - This optional feature ensures that your notes can only be accessed by your beneficiaries after confirmation from your trusted contacts that you have passed away.

Anyone wanting to get premium (ad-free) - just let me know in the comments.

I would greatly appreciate feedback from those who use it (or at least look at the website: legacyapp.rip).
It's about time for this. In the eighties I grew up watching the bionic man, night rider, MacGyver etc. The promise was broken.
