The app was released ahead of schedule, the website is not ready yet, but it will be. Buno currently has basic components and APIs in place, with a lot of room for imagination, and is actively being developed. The app is available for free download, with in-app purchases (IAP) for one-time purchases of functional modules, no subscriptions. New users have a trial period with full functionality.
> Is anyone at Google even aware how much this hurts their brand?

yes, of course. there will be outcry on eng-misc@ about it now it is in the news, and when it was first suggested that Search do this, someone will have found the plan and circulated it and it will be widely understood that this will be terrible for the brand of Google Search.

and then some exec will have written some nonsense email explaining how it was important as a cost saving measure and to secure "IP" for "pivot to AI" and that'll be the end of it.

it's extremely weird that HN posters assume Google employees aren't aware of things happening in the world, or don't predict the very obvious consequences of VP decisions.

The trouble arises later on. Say five years down the road, or more. You've enjoyed this service but time to cut back. You forgot how you signed up. The website's different. The company was sold three times and changed domains. Worse, you're dead or incapacitated, and a loved one is trying to do this on your behalf.

What needs to happen is a clear path working backwards from the bank charges to unsub. They're supposed to cram in enough info in the transaction line, but how many times is it a third-party with an all-zero phone number?

Even worse are "discreet" or sensitive services such as porn, that are necessarily circumspect about the transaction details.

That's why I really appreciate middlemen like PayPal. They've got a fantastic dashboard for recurring payments that puts control back in our hands (usually) and lets you simply override the vendor's autopay arrangement.
And as a result for example KPN (one of the largest fiber ISPs) has a document to tell you what to connect and with which specs: https://assets.ctfassets.net/zuadwp3l2xby/2Yp0HtLJPKBUX5mqr3...

Some years ago there was only unofficial documentation even on the parts behind the ONT, like which VLAN carries internet and which one is IPTV etc. Now it's all officially documented and you can run your own modem, router and firewall if you want.

I've left their ONT in place and plugged it directly into a Linux box that does the rest. Gives me more flexibility on things like IPv6 and easier to host local services without port forwarding through their modem.
I'm a data person and despite seeing this for years, still despise that approach to commas. Seriously, it's not that hard to comment out the damn comma.

i think there should be an option, where you automatically downvote a blocked user's post/comment, even without seeing it.

If that user doesn't have many people blocking them, then this will barely affect the votes. If they have tonnes of blockers, then would indicate that they probably deserved it, and the downvotes would make sense anyway.

It would prevent echo chambers from forming.

Setting up real experiments in a lab is super hard e.g. is all equipment properly calibrated, is the way I am measuring actually right, are my reference measurements correct, are my samples "clean". A lot of things can go wrong that it is even sometimes challenging to replicate experiments that are 100% known to work. So, it takes some discipline to not cheat in the sense that e.g. one cleans up the data a bit too much.
Thanks for sharing your experience, very interesting!

> I'm "pulling this from" the settings on my browser. When I look at the check box in preferences it's unchecked and greyed out.

The setting being greyed out indicates that the entire functionality is disabled, and the value of the setting is irrelevant. That's a common pattern in Firefox settings when some other setting invalidates the current one. In this case, it's most likely because you have "Allow Firefox to send technical and interaction data to Mozilla" unchecked.
If it's disabled (greyed-out), then you already have telemetry disabled.

I have a funny story with napster chat feature.

I was downloading some music from a specific user, they seemed to be the only person who had it, so it was a very slow download.

Below is the conversation

Me: I'm glad you have that version of the X (I can't remember what it was), I couldn't find it anywhere else.

Them: You know that by downloading you are stealing music right ?

Me: Well, I have the original album, but I can't find that version of it, not even to purchase.

Them: It doesn't matter.

<minutes later, i see someone downloading the same song from my machine, i notice its 'Them'>

Me: hey, you're downloading the song from me, why ?

Them: I'm stealing it back from you.

> Right but those countries are comparable in size and GDP to US states

Yes? So in theory it should be significantly harder to implement a EU wide system when it’s much more decentralized than the US. Yet it only took a few years for SEPA and later instant payments to become universally supported across the EU.

Also developed European countries had all of those things you’ve listed in similar timeframes.

Postgres, Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, MariaDB and SQLite do not allow that.
In some places it sounds like the ONT is integrated with the router (like with DOCSIS), and being forced to use the ISP’s router is a problem.

But in cases where the ONT just looks like a media converter and you have a separate router I really can’t see any reason for the customer to provide their own ONT. Especially given PON is a shared medium so a misbehaving ONT can affect other customers.
Some notes here. The concertmaster is the leader of the orchestra (the conductor is not a member of the orchestra and good orchestras typically work with many different conductors) so they will usually decide or advice the conductor who is best suited to play a particular solo.

That the most experienced/best player sits at chair 1 of a section is just a convention that was established over time but not a hard requirement.

> As far as I know, there's no standard way for the composer to notate a solo for, say, violin[1][15]

Because the composer doesn't notate who plays what. The performers decide this. Writing "Solo played by violin[1][15]" makes as much sense as writing "Solo played by Tim from accounting".

I have seen orchestras rotate the solo part through the different nights to give more people a chance to play it but that was an amateur performance and is rare for professional orchestras that rely on perfect deliveries.

I don't have 123 accounts, frequently delete unused accounts and send GDPR requests for websites that won't comply. And I know people who also refuse to play something because of a shitty account requirement. But I agree that it's certainly a minority.

I don't get the argument of the risk though: by adding a PSN account requirement, all you bring is bad press with 0 added value. On top of that, you do that for a game that was already released years ago, sold well and was well liked. It's not exactly a major risk to expand it to the PC platform.

I just hope that one day it becomes illegal for companies to add unnecessary requirements like that.
If we're just talking web, I'm old enough to remember web rings [0].

There are a lot of bad sites, but it’s nowhere near average—it’s a small fraction that are bad in these ways. I visit many sites from HN, and encounter pages that are down or even struggling due to overtraffic significantly less than once a week. Admittedly most of the pages loaded are on well-established sites or static hosts, but there are plenty that are WordPress or similar.
My suspicion is this to rule out a specific hash. One well known to everyone interested in computer security back in the 1990's. One that haunts our nightmares to this day.

Back in my day, you see, there was this hash known as NTLM, which actually took your password and stored and then matched it in two ways, the NT hash (MD5 of your password in UTF-16) and the LM hash (split the first 14 bytes of your password in ASCII, then add parity bits and use that as a DES key to encrypt a well-known string). That LM hash was because they wanted it to be backwards compatible with Microsoft LanMan, introduced for OS/2 back in 1987. Even back in the 1990's it was a well known weak link, and given how trivial it is today to brute force a match for MD5 (since all characters after the first 14 can be arbitrary), you can see that this is simple to brute force with modern computing power. Microsoft has recommended NTLM not be used since 2010, but it's still in Windows for backwards compatibility reasons, and there are almost certainly still servers running today that a NTLM hash could get you access to. So that's my guess as to what they are targeting.

> That is exactly the opposite of OMT's copyright interpretation.

They are entitled to their opinion, but I don't consider a database to be a derivative work of a schema (this should be clear, since databases of facts aren't copyrightable anyway), same for software (it's at least fair use in the US, see Google v. Oracle). This goes back to the debate on copyrightability of APIs, where a decision for copyrightability would ruin swathes of the software industry and much of free software.

Though I understand if you'd rather avoid using projects by people with weird legal opinions.

> That is the definition of license incompatibility as described in the Creative Commons documentation above.

Where do you see that? All I found was a statement that the CC share-alike licences can be converted to GPL, but no word on non-SA licences:

> Version 4.0 of CC’s Attribution-ShareAlike (BY-SA) license is one-way compatible with the GNU General Public License version 3.0 (GPLv3).

The FSF says that CC-BY is compatible with the GPL, and I believe this extends to all reasonable FLOSS licences: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#ccby

It's not uncommon for a piece of code to have multiple licences in a big project. One for licencing to that project, and another for sublicencing to the end user. Proprietary apps that include FLOSS code do this all the time.
My take is that this is an opportunity to re-think what chores are, and what white goods are for

Like -- let's say you rent (as we all do, increasingly). Instead of buying different special purpose kitchen gadgets, white goods, and cleaning equipment to haul around with you, why not a general purpose robot that does the easy 80% of all chores?
Many bouncing balls are also doable without knowing any actual physics. Balls overlap? Push them away from each other such that the next frame they'd no longer overlap. The result looks surprisingly acceptable.

And if you add some blur (I think in Flash this was just a property you can set) based on how fast the ball is moving, it somehow looks more satisfying still.
Maybe they could offer storage backup to other providers than iCloud, like on Android. But that’s just one idea.

Nobel laureates are in the same range as most other humans, just towards one end of it; they can only take over if they use their intelligence to gain political power to wield over others, they cannot directly control people as meat puppets.

Kissinger was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, along with four US presidents, Gorbachev, Al Gore, and the EU. In a very real sense, they had taken over significant parts of the world already before getting the prizes, and only other equally capable people were in the way of them taking over more of it.

LLMs can already hack software. Software is already used to control robots and military equipment, the hackability of which is already a "puppeteer" problem.

If we're lucky, LLMs can secure all our stuff before this matters. If we're not, your personal domestic android may get a bit stabby — and that from mere human assassins and terrorists, well before there's any real chance of a misaligned AI paperclipping us or whatever.

The social web was blogs. That kind of peaked around 2008 and fizzled out after Google Reader was shut down a few years later. Which would be around the time Twitter and Facebook emerged. Before that you had things like various messengers ICQ, MSN, AOL, etc. that are long forgotten. And before that you had NNTP, which some people might still remember is where all the action used to be in the nineties. Before the web took off, you had things like gopher. But that never really took off and kind of was squeezed in between the early web and the BBSes of the nineteen eighties. Several of those things were popularized in popular culture (movies, etc.). You had War Games in the eighties. You've got Mail in the nineties. The social network. Etc.

In short, the social web has been around for decades in various forms. Mastodon has yet to make any impact in popular culture. I wouldn't necessarily call Mastodon very modern. It lacks basic security features (like content signatures or end to end encryption) and it's based on a random thing that W3C standardized some decades ago that never really took off otherwise. It wouldn't be too hard make it a bit more modern. But there's an odd resistance against doing sane things like that in the mastodon community. It's a very conservative community looking backwards at the past and not the future.
How big do you think the DB field is for these password recovery questions? Do you think that they are blobs? Having seen databases with these sorts of fields, the ones at my company were more like varchar[25] than blob.
It's funny to read that thread (from 6 years ago, wow time flies) and see complaints that a lot of people have low-dpi external displays. But I think some of the rebuttal comments in that article rang true even then, and certainly do now: if you are spending money on an Apple laptop or workstation, Apple is going to expect you to spend money on hi-dpi external monitors.
HiDPI is not magic. If you look closer, you will see artifacts which you won't see on OSes that care.

I’ve gone back to Brave. I really want to support a non-Chromium engine but Firefox have constantly slyly added features for its entire history. You need only open about:config and search for “telemetry” as an example.

I honestly don’t know why people always rush to Firefox’s defense when their track record is as bad as Brave’s. The amount of hoops I have to jump through to get a private Firefox after installing it is significant. Even their latest update the other day re-enabled search recommendations.
