Yea I did a comparison between Chrome and Firefox as I did not see any difference on Firefox between the panes.

It does seem to work in Chrome though.
I've used International Reply Coupons as a ham. When hams 'work' each other they exchange something called QSL cards that are the size of a post card confirming the conversation. Speak with enough US States or foreign countries you can submit your QSL cards to qualify for awards like Worked All States (WAS) or countries confirmed (DXCC).

When working overseas hams, particularly when they live in the third world it was common to mail them enough IRC's to cover the return postage for them. Now while QSL cards haven't disappeared most of it has moved to the web and digital confirmations.
> That display is really hard to read.

Most of that is just due to a lack of contrast. Add a slightly-tinted window in front of it to reduce the contrast between unlit segment & background, and it becomes a lot easier to read.
Which I believe is the reason why people believe in some kind of deity. Believing of some kind of deity does not exactly answer the question of “why we are here?” but it can be trivially used to argue out this apparent paradox.

If you buy the equipment from Verizon, I will bet you a significant amount of money that it still sends your passwords to them [on edit: with exactly zero disclosure that's detectable to 99.99 percent of users]. In fact, I'll bet you Verizon treats customer-owned equipment exactly like rented equipment except in billing. But anyway.

> The people who would trust the ISP-owned device likely have already typed that wi-fi password into things like $99 smart TVs which probably transmit their wifi password, location, and microphone data directly to China. Verizon having the wifi password is not cause for concern here.

You park your car in bad neighborhoods. Had I not stolen your car, somebody else would have done it.

I believe there should be stricter gun control, but that people should be allowed to carry other forms of self defense such as pepper spray or tasers (I understand these are illegal in some countries). If we invented a gun which allowed hunters to hunt but somehow didn't let people should other people, I can only see that as a positive

> Point is, the legal system is highly selective when it comes to corporate interests.

I don't even think it's that. In recent cases like Oracle v. Google and Corellium v. Apple, Fair Use prevailed with all sorts of conflicting corporate interests at play. The Zenimax v. Oculus case very much revolved around NDAs that Carmack had signed and not the propagation of trade secrets. Where IP is strictly the only thing being concerned, the literal interpretation of Fair Use does still seem to exist.

Or for a more plain example, Authors Guild. v. Google where Google defended their indexing of thousands of copywritten books as Fair Use.

The Tesla Cybertruck required a $500 deposit, and the cheapest model costs about $61k.

I conclude this tablet will therefore cost around $12k.
> "Defunding" the police was an extremist, fringe position that hijacked the situation.

I think it sounded extremist and fringe, if you assumed it meant completely gutting their budget and placing police officers on a trebuchet aimed at the nearest shoreline.

But the actual "Defund the Police" proposal tried to shift some of that funding to non-armed responders, to better community services, and other things that have been proven to work better at improving outcomes and preventing crimes than a man with a gun showing up to deal with every conceivable scenario that someone found unpleasant.
I think it's fair to call it e-paper since it's reflective. It's not e_ink_ of course, and I believe in a previous thread they mentioned it's not bistable (needs power to maintain the image).
I agree. It showed the price when the presale was still available, so this seems like an oversight. Unless they plan to change the price.

Also, I'm still waiting for an actual hands-on review. It's really quite expensive given that my 3 year old phone was under half the price and is considerably more powerful.
I think Fire TVs may connect over Amazon Sidewalk to someone walking by your house. Samsung was caught sending screenshots of people's smart TVs, which could be being used as desktop monitors.

1) Whatever advantage there may be was completely wiped out by the decision to hand a blue checkmark to whoever would pay a couple of dollars, instead of doing a real identity verification.

2) When the perpetrator is a state, paywalls aren't all that effective as a deterrent. The ROI for the perpetrator is always going to be much higher than the ROI for whoever is trying to put the pieces together after the fact.

Yes, I have studied a bit of China's Cultural Revolution, and discussed it with several (strongly biased, of course) Chinese expats. They violently opposed the subjects that many Americans are privileged to receive via our "liberal arts" educations. I can't argue with that. All I can say is that I view China as a deeply conservative, even fascist nation. From my (limited) perspective, it is deeply racist and misogynistic in ways to which only the most conservative, right-wing Americans compare. So it is hard for me to trace today's China's lineage "leftward".
I know and agree (that that's the subject of the article), but that's not really the point.

I call The Invincible a glorious failure in my review: https://mssv.net/2023/12/26/the-invincible/

tl,dr: It looks incredible, like no other game you'll see today, and it grapples with deeply interesting themes – but it's extremely annoying to play and suffers from a serious lack of editing. There's just too much friction to become truly immersed. Still, other games can only wish their failures were this daring.
> Why is f computable

Because f is either the constant 1 function or the constant 0 function, and both are computable. The fact that we don't know for sure which of those two functions the label "f" refers to doesn't matter if all we are asking is whether the function the label "f" refers to is computable. We know it is because both of the possible referents are computable.

> I enjoy reading the HN tear down of why the reporting is or isn't accurate or newsworthy

To add a different perspective, I don’t tend to enjoy this type of thread. Not because there aren’t good comments to be found in them, but because the entire basis and temperature of the conversation shifts and there’s now a lot of added noise about the reporting itself instead of the actual topic at hand. After awhile, it gets really tiresome, and isn’t the kind of conversation HN tries to cultivate.

I come here exactly because I don’t want hyperbole/clickbait, and threads that are focused on rebutting such content are arguably just as bad. They feed engagement-driven writing (the whole problem), rile people up, and don’t really solve anything or add much value to the original story as far as I can tell.

A better source covering the same subject yields more thoughtful and substantive discussion.
Okay, but that's not the scenario that was being discussed.

In biology I've seen a lot of more recent theses where a couple of the chapters are from middle author works with a bit of extra context on what the student did, and only 1 first author chapter. But besides being slower to do generally, bio still has a lot of people that don't believe in shared first authorship. Sometimes what is technically a second author chapter was pretty close to 50/50 in what the student actually contributed.
This is almost precisely backwards. Developers want so much telemetry for their applications, almost all of which is totally useless outside of the need to debug or improve that application.
See also: https://github.com/krakenjs/zoid which allows you to present a simple interface to sites that want to embed your application and send parameters/register callbacks. All the caveats of frames still apply, of course, and scrolling glitchiness alone is a reason to avoid frames altogether... but if you absolutely need to present your application as a frame, it's a developer-friendly way to do so.

Pdom seems to be a way to do that to yourself, if you can't trust that your content won't cause performance degradations and you absolutely want the context outside that content to stay responsive. I'd only use it, and really any frame, for components where the size is known ahead of time, though; asking a frame to resize itself to fit its contents, when its contents may themselves be resizing to the size of the frame, is a recipe for disaster. Which brings me around to why I try to avoid frames for anything user-facing when at all possible.
It's a nice story but it doesn't plausibly have any remote connection to this. I'm sure the people running the GCV platform with a custom Linux distro have some other way of reporting machine stats than literally "put our custom extension into every Chrome install ever".

I am really skeptical of the ‘paper-like’ quality it supposedly has. Are the viewing angle and glare really not noticeable?

These are uncapped prices? Pretty cheap compared to what I was looking at a few years ago. Back then a lot of plans had data caps, it would be like $9k for only several gigs of data all things said and done. You'd pay link speed separate from your data allotment, so a few grand for the connection speed and a few grand for a bucket of data.

What is HN doing against shills, i.e. people that are tactful enough to steer opinion towards certain goals and let you think they "also posted good things" ? Is preventing confrontations on this problem a good tradeoff with the current state of the guidelines considering that political topics are a lot more present on HN than 10 years ago ? Or could fostering a culture of shill-spotting beneficial ?

> The tool also allowed for the management of the persona profiles through an administrator panel called “Brigadir” and the spreading of disinformation through these profiles through a seeding tool called “Taras.”

Brigadir is something like team leader, not necessarily military. Taras is a bit odd, it's a typical Ukrainian name https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taras_(name), and I can see it used in a derogatory way. Like say if the FBI used "Ivan" as their tool targeting Russians.

I suspect the idea is to influence the social media via fake Ukrainian personas sowing discord or sounding ridiculous, as a way to erode support. They probably gave up trying to make Russian army or government look good, and instead are focusing on making Ukrainians look bad.

I've seen similar things. I'll say again:

I would love an e-ink display on a general purpose linux computer, as an optional screen. I can't use an esoteric tablet for productivity, so I wouldn't use this. And I can't use an e-ink screen for certain things that require color accuracy + refresh, so I couldn't use an e-ink for all of my work, so I probably wouldn't use it as a daily driver.

I do own a remarkable, and I use it once a week or so. it does not claim to replace a computer, it's just a digitized scratchpad + e-reader.
