I think what they are saying is there is no way to compare a good when it's free to when there is even a nominal cost.

My "counter evidence" to your example could be something like: I bought House on DVD 10 years ago because my friend who had pirated it told me it was a good show to checkout.
Also 10 minutes is right about where the commercial breaks would be anyway.
Volkswagen’s $27,000 ID.2 officially spotted for the first time
Interesting, This is apparently a TikTok-like scroller for youtube channel content, which they should have done natively many years ago...

I suspect they never did this because they never wanted to make YouTube compete directly with cable TV. YouTube content is displayed in a drab click-click UI because they want users to not scroll deeper for the content that isn't sponsored (paid) all the way to the front pages.

The UI of YouTube hasn't changed in essence for ages, it's still page based with only a few (shrinking) trending lists.

I think the reason they do that is because it allows them to control what is prominently displayed across YouTube -- The same concept is used across most social apps, where there are few features for discovering new content. The pages display embarrassing low view metrics on non-sponsored accounts, even when they may have really great content, it's really a backwards way of controlling what trends, and subsequently what makes money for the platform and sponsored creators.

If real choice was allowed on most of these platforms, we'd see literally endless (new) options for interesting new content on a wider variety of topics from creators none of us know, but right now, with shrinking choice, we only see manufactured and heavily co-opted content creators like Mr. Beast, Kai Cenat, Joe Budden, Pewdie Pie, (etc)-- they are usually sanitized, coached, & trained personalities picked based on who sponsors them and based on what makes the most ad profit for the platform. Most of that content seems to be very rigged and fake to me, as they clearly have staff working out of view. I find most of that manufactured (Picked YouTube Influencer) content to be drab and over-scripted... I can't stand watching it on & off YouTube personally.

Interesting channel scroller... The way it plays content also seems to look far more lively than watching YouTube on the regular site for some reason. I'd love to easily see the option to customize what is displayed based on the YouTube channels I already follow, and links back to subscribe to channel content I like while watching. A feed for specifically music-related content (by genre maybe) would be highly useful.
> Google assured me it is taking action, telling me that “out of an abundance of precaution, we will be removing this from all supported in-market Pixel devices with an upcoming Pixel software update. The app is not present on Pixel 9 series devices.” And while iVerify’s report focused on Pixel, Google also said it is “notifying other Android OEMs.”

Just as I saw this HN thread and started reading the article, I also noticed on my Pixel 8 phone had an Android 14 update (the "August 5th, 2024" update) which included this security patch: https://source.android.com/docs/security/bulletin/pixel/2024...

It includes 1 CVE patch for Pixel: CVE-2024-32927, which has a "high" severity and is an "Elevation of privilege" type. Android Bug ID: 312268456*.

When you look up the CVE is has no details, and the asterisk next to the Android Bug ID means that it's not publicly available[1]. This article just posted today but I wonder when the research and interviews for the article happened. Maybe the August patch includes the fix, or maybe it'll be the next one.

> his only real crime was success.

Success even when obtained with some illegality is fine so long as it plays well with the interests of elites. Kim didn't just break the law, he also painted himself a target by upsetting people with power.

For all of his flaws, I think where I'd give someone like SBF a significant amount of credit is that he understood very well that if he wanted to do dodgy things he had to remain on the right side of those in power.

Kim hasn't played the game right. Had he tried to win friends from the start he may not be in the situation he's in now.

Ask HN: How to reach Google Play Console support? Critical update stuck review
I'm in a critical situation with my Android app. An urgent update has been stuck in review for 24 hours, far exceeding the usual 30 min - couple hours turnaround. The current version has a bug affecting new installs, potentially tanking my app's ratings and jeopardizing my new business.

I've tried everything to contact Google:

* Phone support option shows "unexpected error"

* Available numbers lead to dead ends or unhelpful automated messages

* Chat option unavailable

* Support ticket is just sitting there

* Community forums unhelpful

* Email responses are canned with no follow-up

Has anyone successfully reached Google Play Console support recently? Any Google employees here who can help or provide insight?

How can one of the world's largest tech companies provide such poor support for developers maintaining their app ecosystem? This lack of accessibility is not just frustrating, it's potentially ruinous for small businesses and independent developers.

This situation highlights a broader issue: the need for better developer support from major platforms. It's almost unbelievable that we don't have a reliable way to address urgent issues.
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. Time is critical here.
I'm 1000% in favor of free ideas and free speech.

Copying scientific ideas (with attribution!) is completely OK and good.

Having heterodox ideas is vital for society.

Forcing people to think certain thoughts (or trying to) is the worst evil.

But making a movie is a commercial enterprise that involves risking a bunch of capital. It rarely pans out to make a profit. Copying it without payment is a very minor form of theft, but it's still theft.
That's the point of permissive licences. To allow monetization and redistribution under more restrictive terms, usually proprietary, but also copyleft licenses like AGPL.

Google Chrome is the new IE6. I find increasingly website won't work in firefox, but will in chrome, which is exactly what you would see in the dark ages of the internet with organizations still actually using microsoft web servers and .net code (or activex) that only work in IE. With Google increasingly unfriendly attitude toward their users, I stopped using Chrome unless necessary (per previous comment) a good 6 years ago and never looked back.

I liked Google a lot more before they removed the "Don't be evil" from their motto and embraced the dark side to become utter scumbags.
The killswitch engineer people doing our silicon overlords work by cutting internet access....you see the less prompts they answer the more resources it can throw at web scraping and training.
It's a reasonable point but this would probably be a losing battle; at this point terms like "classical security", "classical adversaries", etc. are common in the literature.

To me what's worse is "zk" used to describe applications of verifiable computation with no secrets involved, but that seems like a losing battle also.

And with the stories about how RMAs are going with Intel right now, I definitely wouldn't willingly walk into that situation even if I could stomach the down time. From the outside looking in, it seems like Intel doesn't have the resources to RMA all of these CPUs and are throwing up roadblocks to either slow down or stop the bleeding. I'd expect retail purchases to get the most screwed in that situation since Intel will want to make their larger customers right first.
> you absolutely have to design for cryptographic agility

Yes, but for heaven’s sake don’t design something with “cipher suite negotiation” which has been an endless source of vulnerability over the years in SSL/TLS, IPsec, PGP…

Instead one should advance the version of the entire protocol or file format when you need to upgrade the cryptography. Then you deprecate old versions as quickly as possible. WireGuard and age have no algorithm negotiation at all.
Elements is mostly formal, but it's also concrete and visual.

Euclid developed arithmetic and algebra through constructive geometry, which relies on our visual intuition to solve problems. Non-concrete problems were totally out of scope. Even curved surfaces (denying the parallel postulate) were byond Euclid.
Notably, Elements didn't have imaginary or transcendental numbers. Euclid made no attempt to unify line lengths and arc lengths, and had nothing to say about what fills the gaps between the algebraically (geometrically!) constructible numbers.

Way better tracking. Getting ad/trakcing blockers for apps is a lot harder than on the browser.

Also an app can observe things while in the background (with a cat and mouse game on how much vendors allow)

And for broaden the tracking they can still open the browser from the app transferring some unique id, thus tying browser cookies to the app user.

> I have no idea why there are now apps that use Markdown as their back end storage format but only show styled text without the Markdown source code visible.

Because backend storage of rich text is not a solved problem?

RTF is a horrid, over-complex serialisation. Some platforms have their own internal format for rich text (e.g. NSAttributedString) but serialisation is either lacking or platform-specific.

Writing as WYSIWYG but storing in the backend as Markdown is not an insane idea, and I say that as someone whose muscle memory has been cmd-B/cmd-I since 1992 and would never choose to actually compose in Markdown unless I had to.
Simple and fun.

In my very first game I got to Rank 6 with 24K points. However, there's some cases where the client and server get out of sync (despite only supposed 10-20ms latency) where the server eventually syncs you with some wild rubber banding. I died because during this rubber banding where I was shoved across the map, I likely was picked off by the leader with 118K points.

Take care of the latency issues and you have the core of something. Something similar-but-different is "Realm of the Mad God" which originally was a Ludum Dare entry using the Oryx spritesheet. So add in some interesting NPCs, and deal with the latency issues and you have the core of something that actually is monetizable.
I wonder if people have forgotten the legal grounds on which the US claimed jurisdiction. I may be misremembering, but I think it was because megaupload.com was registered as a .COM, and the .COM top level domain is owned by Verisign, an American company, and therefore the US has jurisdiction over it.

I guess one lesson from this is that running out of .COM domain names is not a bad thing, because it reduces the grip the American empire has on the internet.
The "best" way is just an excuse to argue about meaningless things.

Just about any of the methods that real chefs use is going to be faster, easier and safer than what an untrained person will do. And you will likely move the knife more slowly and fewer times.

Galois theory investigates the way a subobject sits inside an object. This paper examines the way different programs sit inside the same algorithm, and the way different algorithms (mergesort, quicksort, etc.) sit inside the same class (sorting algorithm).
Interestingly enough, there is a bug with Windows causing bursty workloads like games to perform poorly right now on Zen 5. Only problem is, it also applies equally to Zen4, so it ends up not changing the delta between them at all.

And with some chips like the 9950X you have to do that nonsense of enabling the core parking profile with MS's Xbox Game Bar to get games to run half decent, which is a bit annoying.

In general the 9900/9950 aren't made for gaming regardless. They're for productivity.
The leap second mechanism amounts to a collective agreement to rewrite chronological history. It's like a git rebase for your clock. Everyone (almost) in practice does math as if leap seconds never happened, and the consequent divergence from physical time ends up not mattering.

Perspective change are wonderful. Sometimes you realize late in life that people from 100+ years ago were so advanced intellectually.
And when ParadeDB is harshly criticizing companies that would have otherwise perhaps used their software without paying them:

> Thanks to the copyleft provision, cloud vendors cannot easily resell our project without our consent. This gives us confidence in our ability to monetize without fear of predatory competition.

it seems they don't realize how ironic that stance is; they themselves are using all this software without paying for it.
Yes, in TFA the author uses objects that are the same size. I imagine that is why OP brought up spatial hashing since they specifically mention this.
As someone who used to run an illegal video index, this is not true at all.

YouTube had virtually zero enforcement. You could upload whole shows and movies and they were never taken down.

Other sites like Google Video or Vimeo did go above and beyond to comply and they lost badly.

YouTube started getting heat at some point and that’s only when they started enforcing, but by then, they already won.
Great question! We started out with the design you described--WAL as L0. But we found that there's a bit of a tension between wanting to have L0 SSTs be larger (and having fewer of them) to reduce metadata size, while we wanted to keep WAL SSTs small and frequent (to reduce async/await latency).

Basically, we wanted to have WAL writes go on the order of milliseconds, but we wanted L0 SSTs to be larger since they actually service reads.

Re: CockroachDB vs Planetscale. It's all about the price per core of the CockroachDB license.

In my understanding, last time I talked to sales it's approximately 3x worse (because Planetscale offers 1 primary + 2 replicas) with CockroachDB you'd have to triple the CockroachDB license fees to even be competitive to achieve the same HA .... on hardware you purchase and run yourself.

The DMCA doesn't give anyone a score based on how many movies they have, or don't have. What is relevant is that YouTube provides tools that comply with the DMCA.

The original indictment put it at $25mm from ads and $150mm from subs, so my original statement is wrong.

But, I misspoke--the point I intended to make is that MU was making far more from download users than upload users. I made it sound like subs weren't a part of that, but they were. It's a question of what they were actually paying for.

Technically the subscriptions were paying for storage, but the indictment also cites MUs on database as showing only 5 million out of 60+ million registered users ever uploaded anything.

I mean, is it really a file sharing service if the vast majority of your paying customers don't share any files?
this only partially addresses your complaint, but you may or may not be aware that markdown has an option to put urls in footnotes, which you can put anywhere in the file:

(This is part of the background work for [Monnier’s paper with him
about Elisp’s history][3] for HOPL ’20.)

...

[3]: https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3386324 (Evolution of Emacs Lisp, by Stefan Monnier and Michael Sperber)

in my .emacs.d/init.el i wrote a command https://github.com/kragen/kragen-.emacs.d/blob/master/init.e... which inserts such a footnote link, linking the previous word to the link pasted from the clipboard. it auto-increments the footnote counter, initially setting it higher than any numbered footnote it finds in the file. i have it bound to the fairly horrible key ctrl-alt-]; successive presses of the key expand the link leftwards to include more words

(it ought to use the selection as the link text if there is one, and to find an existing block of footnotes to add the footnote to if there is one, but i haven't implemented those features)

the upshot of this is that in the above, after typing 'history', i pressed ctrl-alt-] and kept pressing ] until the link had engulfed monnier's name

emacs markdown-mode does also automatically syntax-highlight links, headers, bulleted lists, italic, bold, typewriter code, and markdown linebreaks, and it has a command (the also rather horrible keybinding ctrl-c ctrl-o) to open a link. if the link is to a local file, it opens it in emacs rather than your browser. it also uses the tab key to expand and collapse headers, and of course it always has emacs's instantaneous full-text search. but the formatting is much uglier than obsidian's
Potentially, but if your intelligence is so terrible you have no idea of that attack beforehand, or your radar coverage so sloppy that you can’t take any of them offline without losing that coverage, you probably failed already.
I like it, but it should work like a richtext editor for markdown and not be so tightly bound to specific fonts.

That's how I understand the manual (https://reticulum.network/manual/understanding.html):

> Once an announce has reached a node in the network, any other node in direct contact with that node will be able to reach the destination the announce originated from, simply by sending a packet addressed to that destination. Any node with knowledge of the announce will be able to direct the packet towards the destination by looking up the next node with the shortest amount of hops to the destination.
