Good questions.

I can only point at [1] and say that this has always been the case with domestic computing. The parking lot giving away tanks for free never did as much business as the slick salesman selling the badly-engineered sedans with the easy UI. And that was 1999.

I guess people really like European luxury cars.

This is fixable with a small patch, which implements enough seek to work with http.

}
r2, _ := r.f.Open()
rr := r2.(*checksumReader)
*r = *rr
return 0, nil
}
I honestly don't think it's insane at all. Middlemen are everywhere, and if a government body wants to complain about taxation, glass houses...

Before iPhone and Android, it was infeasible for small-time devs to sell apps pretty much at all. The two are in hot competition still. Nintendo etc aren't in trouble cause they just stuck to closed systems. If building platforms becomes less profitable, fewer platforms will be built, which so far has been the story in the EU.
I'm talking about the pain at any point in time, p(t), over the long and complicated history of JavaScript. It looks like you are talking about the derivative of pain over time: dp/dt.

This is very nice; I think the same can be achieved with general footnotes (not just source links), though you'd have to be careful to keep them short lest you take up a lot of screen space.
The point of ArXiv is that it's not (necessarily) peer-reviewed.
I dunno, I look back on the <table>-based layout days with fondness, probably because I was young and the Web was nothing but rolling green fields and endless potential. I didn't see the limitations, only the opportunities for inventiveness. I'll never feel the same satisfaction as I did when those first few website designs came together.

If this technology is as powerful and world changing as these companies say then of course it should have safety checks. Some of these people want to be Oppenheimer talking about AGI, but safety guidelines will stifle them?

You think Microsoft, Apple, or Google need less regulation?

This seems to be a pre-print, likely shared because arXiv is open access.
Not sure what they did to upset you, but they are absolutely archivists. Off the top of my head, they've preserved flash games and animations and written an interpreter to get them working in modern browsers; they've scanned books and made them borrowable from the browser, which I've personally used for archival research.

I'm guessing what you're referring to is their lawsuit with the publishing industry, where they attempted to lend digital copies of books without backing them with hard copies on a shelf. That was probably ill advised, and I suppose you could view it as political activism, but it's pretty obviously in furtherance of their mission as archivists - preserving content means little if it can't be accessed. (This was also in the context of the early pandemic, where access to physical libraries was extremely limited.)
This arithmetic compression example simply stores the 4 byte values of the frequencies (I used 8 bytes) in a flat table https://github.com/nayuki/Reference-arithmetic-coding/blob/m...

For input3 they used 20 additional bytes while I used 12. Though I know they said their implementation isn't perfect.

If the Swedish prosecutor had dropped charges before the US got around to charging him, Julian would have walked free. So it's awfully convenient that the charges were "substituted", so to speak, on the same day.
Looking back, I wish I had done this a decade sooner. Going forward, I definitely plan to make this a regular thing. Long before burnout can take hold again.
What "software problem" are you talking about?

The press release talks mostly about sensors and software integration.

It also mentions end-effector systems, Andruil's Anvil system[0], and Rheinmetall's "high-power guns", which I guess refers to Skynex[1].

The public demo videos[2] for Skynex aren't particularly impressive, they shoot down some high flying stationary drones.

Skynex is a huge 35mm cannon, that seems expensive and overkill for the C-sUAS role.

I'm surprised we aren't seeing smaller automated anti drone turrets, that can be deployed close to fighting positions, shooting either a small airburst grenade, like the 20mm round from the OICW program[3], or some kind of flak/shotgun round.

McBride?

Exposing war crimes was an unintended self own for McBride.

He was British Army (Northern Ireland) through and through, came out to Australia, failed to make the SASR and worked instead as an army lawyer.

He leaked documents with the intent to "expose* how "increasingly restrictive Rules of engagement and the nature of investigations into members of the special forces" were making things worse for the poor squaddies doing their job.

What happened was journalists looked into all his leaked documents and focused instead on the poor squadies kicking "bad guys" off cliffs, blooding new soldiers with execution kills, etc.

His stated goal for leaking was to impede | stop investigations into war crimes:

Justice David Mossop stated "the way you’ve explained it is that the higher-ups might have been acting illegally by investigating these people too much, and that that was the source of the illegality that was being exposed."

Why should the creator of an app have to link to a Verge story?
> Drive by wire throttle is in the vast majority of cars made in the last twenty years because emissions and fuel efficiency require it.

Electronic throttle controls is still safe because if the code hits a bug and the throttle becomes uncontrollable you can still use the brakes to stop the car.

But if you also have drive by wire braking system, you can have a big problem.
That would be a fine description for it. I approve of this answer for your question of how to word it. Why do you think I wouldn't be satisfied? The big problem is that the 50GB cutoff is hidden. A cutoff like that is better than a hidden extra charge, but not a lot better.

Also, if they had to directly mention the speed they probably would use 3G and that would be a big improvement over the status quo where lots of carriers go down to 256kbps or 128kbps.

> surely its not deceptive to give better service than paid for from time to time

It's fine as long as you don't give a false impression to someone trying the service. Calling out the 50GB as a different speed avoids that pretty well.

In an ideal world we would get to do a reverse investigation to understand which government officials were complicit in his very obviously politically motivated detention, action would be taken upon those individuals to ensure accountability, and the system itself would be updated so powerful interests can't abuse the law like this. How far are we from this world?
And the "fashion glow up" of zuck pictures are just a shitty picture pointing at his chin from below, vs a side profile picture.
The idea is great, though I think I personally would prefer for this to happen on the server side (during rendering a static site, perhaps), not in the user's browsers. Particularly if the user doesn't enable JS, or has a slow connection.
> If I access memory I didn't allocate the OS shuts the program down.

The real problem is when you access memory that did allocate.
It amazes me that so many people care more about the act of whistleblowing, which informs us, the citizens, about what our governments are doing that's illegal, than about the illegal activities themselves.

What does that say about those people? Are they easily led by emotion? They certainly don't care about the rule of law, if breaking the law by others can so easily be ignored. They aren't particularly patriotic, if they think that subverting the checks and balances in their preferred kind of government is fine.

I'm glad this partiular episode will be finished soon.
You fell for the 'menswear' meme lol.
But they will ride high in a pile of money until the curtain is drawn back. It's worth it to them
It's incredibly dangerous for the government to be playing economic games like this. They're making one segment of the population suffer and another segment become wildly rich. This won't end well for anyone.
It's unclear to me which axle even locked up. How would the driver even know? The witness marks would be flat spots, but no photo evidence is given. For all I know, the skid marks are from rear tires burning out.

The article claims the driver mentioned "unresponsive steering", but that doesn't make much sense as the vehicle pretty clearly follows the road (to the right). It's not like one would turn at the bottom of the dip (into the ditch).

I can't blame anyone with such little information.
I could be misremembering, but I think I remember Teslas having a feature that would apply slight torque to the motors when braking on hills to prevent the car from rolling backwards when switching from brakes to the accelerator.

I wonder if this was a malfunction of the system that detects the car being on a slope which caused it to accelerate forward despite the brake being pressed?
Agree. This does seem like authors have confused privacy (the right to control one's own data) with anonymity (the right to remain unknown). I wonder where their interpretation of privacy comes from.
Too hard to make them look good? I don’t think it’s strictly impossible.
Quieter drones would get my good housekeeping tick of approval. Lots of downsides but I think the upsides dominate. I prefer less intrusion (audio) to demanding they beep loudly so I know I am being snooped on.

There are lots of ICE vehicles that have enough power to overcome their brakes
My diesel pickup could easily rip the brakes to shreds under acceleration. Electric vehicles are known for crazy amounts of torque as well… sounds like somehow this guy had both the accelerator and the brake pedals depressed at once. It’s weird
We live under a patriarchy.
I’d imagine a substantial amount of Netflix’s operating costs are in bandwidth. I bet a little bit of optimization goes a long way.
OK, so Snowden ann Assange deserve punishment.

Where is the punishment for the people commiting the crimes and treason that Snowden and Assange exposed?
Same with any luxury good really. People are spending 100k on a car thats effectively no different than a $5k one considering driving in a way to actually take advantage of the capabilities of a $100k supercar is entirely illegal. People spend as much on prestigious private college that delivers the same classes as any public school.
One of life's hardest secrets is realizing you don't have to care (that much) about what others think about you. Peer pressure can and should go eat dog poop.

So long as you are meeting the minimum standards of hygiene, decency, formality, and (if applicable) conformity of your environment, nothing else matters. Who cares? It's a free world for most of us.
Apple gets a lot of flack for making iOS a closed system and I genuinely believe that the decisions they make are what they believe are in the public good.

...except for App Store reviews, which are frequently irrational, contradictory, and kafkaesque. (Automatically denied because the app shared the name with a version disallowed under the previous policy? Then denied because they had tried too many times? This is all absurd.)

Apple seriously needs to do a complete reset and reevaluation of how the App Store review system works, because the unfairness and absurdity of it all is tarnishing the reputation of everything else they do.
My team and I use https://pop.com/ daily! It's fully cross-platform and lightweight (no chrome added to windows), and it's absolutely viable to say "can I take control" and type in someone else's IDE halfway across the world in real-time. Once a co-worker had their laptop die while traveling, so they had a family member log into their home desktop, start up Pop, and remoted in from their spouse's laptop, doing all the dev work they needed from a continent away. There are some minor glitches, but all in all it's an amazing product!
> You are asserting that some people are lying but who?

Anyone making clearly false claims, for example.

I had a recent discussion with a Linux devotee, for example, claiming gaming on Linux was basically as good as Windows and that Linux had full DirectX equivalents. Both things are false, the user knows they are false, but that user lied to themselves due to loyalty to their preferred platform.

Apple users do it so often, the term reality distortion field was invented to describe their behavior. Sony and Zboz fans do it as well. Not to mention people do it with everything, i.e. political parties.
Hopefully the afternoon since the plumber is coming that morning
Diffusion of responsibility is definitely a defense in these cases, but the system should recognize this shortcoming and assign accountability (at least in an ideal world).

Although I'm willing to bet that the true actors here weren't necessarily presidents (even though they would ultimately be accountable like you say). Would be interesting to see who demanded what and when.
2nd stupidest thing i ever read...
>But it's not a store. It's software; Apple ... requires you to pay the surcharges in their mandatory App Store.

So is it a store or not?

>And every single one of those companies competes under fair pretenses with their publishing partners. Apple doesn't. That's why they're singled-out.

How so? What is Apple doing that those companies (Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony) don't do for their hardware platforms? The certainly "[charge] developers to use their developer tools and then additionally [require developers] to pay the surcharged in their mandatory [store]." So what's different? How are they competing under fair pretenses (a phrase which I admit I'm having trouble parsing the meaning of), but Apple isn't?
Julian Assange released from prison and has left UK, WikiLeaks says
Not really. There is actually some art to putting together something that looks nice.
But all the comments in this thread show how different the experiences are. Personally, I can’t tell after reading all of them (and previous HN discussions too) which is common and which is uncommon: clear, fuzzy, abstract, or zero visualization.
Serious question: why does it need to change so much and so often? I know nothing about rust development, so I'm curious about why it's worlds different from the development of other toolchains.
I don't like the idea of destroying stuff (except aftermarket noise-making parts). How about sticking the car on a boat and shipping it to some other country and donating it there? No one profits.
I also like the Glaswegian "my computer is in the Clyde" meme. I always think of the cloud as a tired PC, bobbing around in the water, near Dumbarton.
Discrimination cannot be avoided by hiding who we are. Removing discrimination requires actively exercising merit in spite of information bias. As long as we have humans with different skin colours, biases will continue to exist. Discrimination occurs when bias informs a decision where it is not a factor.
Original post is from April, but there is an update at the bottom from June:

> Got a call from Apple after 2 months. They have decided that iDOS is not a retro game console, so the new rule is not applicable. They suggested I make changes and resubmit for review, but when I asked what changes I should make to be compliant, they had no idea, nor when I asked what a retro game console is.

We need a DMA over here yesterday.
You've got it exactly right, many people in the US care far more about compliance with and respect for authority than they do about rule of law.
Because that would be stealing from everyone who holds dollars by increasing the supply
*I mean input2, sorry long day.
If they're selling below cost, who's the "we" that should buy them all up? Because if it's US consumers, then the domestic auto companies could fail in the while that's happening. If it's the US government - isn't that kind of what the tariff accomplishes, without having to take ownership of a bunch of inventory?
The thing is that if Australia wants to deny extradition, they can, and the US presumably wouldn't want that precedent.
Of which as bit so many people in the ass so many times that anyone with any security sense will tell you "Don't do that". There are just too many ways URLs leak because there is little difference between security context with users.
I don't know what this is doing on HN, but Sun Ra makes great music.
Taxonomies[0] are the way to go if you'd like to group content on your site by something like series (although you could "just" use tags, which Hugo enables out of the box). I use "series" as a taxonomy, for which an initial bit of code is here[1]. Given that, depending on how comfortable you are with Hugo templating, you could probably use `.Site.Taxonomies.series` to iterate over all the "series".

None of that would be a problem if people could just build.

The DMA stifles innovation and would make many recent iOS features illegal.

Apple Intelligence - points you to Apple Music or Apple Maps as a response to your query? Illegal.

iPhone Mirroring - doesn't work with Windows or Android. Illegal.

Shareplay screen sharing - doesn't work with Windows or Android. Illegal.

There's a reason those features are not getting an EU release.
You country no longer has postal service?
That's awesome. Out of curiosity, what kind of system are those files living on today?

Is there a different name for the version of this that doesn't include the summary statistics on the same graph? I think seeing the distributions at different x-axis values (in my work, nearly always in a time series), but including the summary statistics is not as important and I agree that it's noisy.
My site (OP) actually has a content graph as well, though it has a dedicated page. I didn't want to force users to run arbitrary JavaScript on every page just for aesthetics.

There seem to be barely any legal requirements for Teslas in the US. The Cybertruck as is wouldn't be legal in the EU (and hence is not sold). How the lack of indicator stalks is legal is beyond me, as is the utter lack of buttons or the lack of speed indication in a driver's line of sight.

The behaviour of using a screen with submenus to setup things while you're driving is madness if you think about it. We're not allowed to use our touch screen phones while driving but are allowed to use a touch screen bolted-on touch screen.

I'm not so pessimistic. Each country will put their own interests first, but they do work together. Pursuing Assange isn't central to the US/UK national interest. Part of the reason Assange languished so long was because the Australian government didn't stick up for him earlier.
You can't count the future investment performance when measuring the value of currency. If the Bitcoin were converted to dollars, they wouldn't have appreciated 100 fold.

Especially considering that a substantial part of the value of BTC is the fact that a lot of it has been accidentally destroyed.
And commercial loans look nothing like what you would use to buy a home with.

Most of them are 5 year (there are others), interest only and a massive balloon payment at the end. They are written based on the income of the property & its value. We're seeing these markets unwind, and it isn't going to be pretty.

Commercial property across the board (not just offices) has been in a strange place for a long time, and it isn't getting better.
This I don't get, they usually look a lot nicer than other visualizations I see. What's the issue here?

Yes, because users would much rather make purchases outside apps like Kindle because of Apple’s revenue cut. Apple is such a great company that it’s inconceivable they’d ever to protect their own interests and stifle competition.

The problem isn't that it's illegal it's that it's unknown.

DMA enforcement is about the spirit of the law rather than the clear meaning and so everything is vague and subjective.

And with the fines being so ridiculously large it's not worth the risk.

I wonder whether that data has more value to the owner if it's not online -- make AI companies pay for it if they want it.

And maybe take legal action against those who've already used it, for training and knowledge bases, without licensing it.

That'd be different than a company simply not wanting to incur the small costs of keeping it online. (Still sounds crappy, but it's not "for nothing".)
Those countries weren’t part of nato when we signed the treaty. Whatever sense the original treaty made, countries have treated nato membership as a way to outsource their defense to the US, and the treaty makes no sense today.
When you encourage someone else to commit a crime, and then use the results of that crime in your own work you really should not be surprised that law enforcement comes after you.
