The CDC website was gutted in Jan 2025 following the Trump administration’s opening salvo of executive orders. This deprived American (and global) healthcare professionals of valuable information. There has been loss of faith in the CDC and government in general as repositories of scientific literature amongst the healthcare and scientific community, which is why sites like these have popped up

Per the about page, which is linked right at the top of restoredcdc.org:

“ We are developing code to pull CDC pages which were archived by prior to January 20, 2025. Similar archives have been created by the End of Term (https://eotarchive.org) project and are hosted by the Wayback Machine (https://web.archive.org). The individual pages are archived, but links between them are broken and the pages are not easy to locate through web searches. Therefore, we will re-build the links between the pages, to create a site that can be navigated the same way the pre-January 21, 2025 CDC site. The only changes we will make on these pages is to add a header that indicates that this site is not a CDC website.”
> Neoconservatives were hawkish members of the old Anti-USSR Left who were disillusioned by the Post Vietnam Democratic Party and travelled away from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party.

This is the same talking point parroted by another prominent right-wing commentator here, that implies that some neocons were... so far right that they were actually left?

> Supported by former Democratic intellectuals like Glenn Greenwald.

Glenn Greenwald is not and has never been a Democrat or member of the party or anything resembling that.

Elon Musk was a "Democrat" in the sense that as long as Democrat administrations handed his businesses grants and funding and tax breaks, he didn't shit-talk them. When he saw there was an opportunity to milk these things from Republican administrations, all of a sudden he became "Republican".
American taxes are so complicated. Let's add another 1-2% for the mental cost of having to know all this stuff, or pay someone else to know it. It's just crazy.

What distro do you run on the framework? Ubuntu feels bloated and the software is old. The framework laptop is much, much worse than a MacBook Pro. The comparison isn't even remotely apples to apples.

I wish there was a perfect solution, but man. Comparing a framework laptop with ubuntu to an MBP with MacOS is crazy from anything but a cost perspective.
To be fair, even outside of this sexual misconduct the CTO of SAP has not actually earned a high salary. Do you hear anyone talking about SAP when it comes to technological innovation? They are followers, not leaders. Not in AI, not in cloud computing, not in mobile or any other technical domain really. Their ERP software stack sits on a technological foundation of ABAP (a COBOL derivative) and a home-built database system that relies on large main memory caches to process complex queries at a halfway acceptable performance.
Sure it's a problem if that code ever needs to be fixed or maintained. Or if it irreversibly alters data in a way that the "coder" didn't understand or intend. If it's a prototype or some kind of one-off with limited side effects, I guess there's not much risk.

The CDC lost credibility among conservatives in 2021; when they were insisting on masking for all, the 10 person gathering limit was in many states… but for better or worse, they refused to condemn, and downplayed, the health effects of the George Floyd protests happening simultaneously.

This is retaliation against the CDC for implicitly saying you can protest racism in the streets, but cannot attend Thanksgiving with the extended family.

For the downvoters, prove me wrong. Many conservatives have never forgiven the CDC for this. And yes, it’s not reasonable, but when the CDC says vaccines are safe after a stunt like that, the gut response is to be contrarian.

IMO the primary purpose of a code review is to check that what's written is understandable to at least one other developer besides the author. Having a machine be the primary reviewer kind of misses the point.
You're thinking of Java, which is Enterprize Buzzword Compliant to the maximum extent possible.

C# is Java-but-with-lessons-learnt, and is significantly less verbose and "enterprisey" in typical usage.

Modern .NET 9 especially embraces compile-time code generation, a "minimal" style, and relatively high performance code compared to Java.

Even if the JVM is faster in benchmarks for hot loops, typical Java code has far more ceremony and overhead compared to typical C# code.

The webRequestBlocking API exposes fairly low level hooks into the networking stack to the javascript layer which would be a significant limitation to performance optimisation in how requests are processed.

That said I've now read that the API is still available to policy based extensions (essentially OS installed extensions) in manifest v3, so that doesn't hold water since it's literally the same API.

Having joined a large established FAANG, it's become quite apparent that in any large established entity with so much management and meta work, with strong incentives driving more energy towards the meta work than where the rubber meets the road, it's inevitable for product quality to deteriorate.

Internally the prioritized output becomes the meta work, not what reaches customers. What reaches customers is almost some kind of accidental byproduct of what the vast majority of people in the org spend their time on day-to-day.

My past experience is dominated by startups. The fake work I'm incentivized to spend time on would have been fire-able levels of misplaced priorities / waste everywhere else I've worked as an IC developer.

I've never worked for Apple, I'm assuming this pattern plays out everywhere at this scale.
I had the same happen for a bug that would toggle off "Do not create a new Apple Ad Identifier Code" (or whatever it was called). It meant that even if you explicitly opted out of Apple's Ad tracking, you would get opted back in with almost every iOS update.

I assume this would have landed them in hot waters with EU privacy regulators, so they were very keen to replicate the bug and then have me check if it no longer happened.

On the other hand, the "first screenshot fails to display screenshot preview and doesn't flash the screen" has been in iOS for 3 versions now. I've reported it thrice, and no one has given the tickets a second look, marked it DUPLICATE, or anything. And every time I mention it, at least 3-4 other people comment on also experiencing the bug, so I assume Apple must be pretty aware.
I think human-machine teaming or human-AI collaboration requires some interface, either invasive or otherwise, but one which enables two-way communication. For biological organisms, symbiotic relationships are possible through sensory-motor interactions.

The key is symbiosis, otherwise one becomes a parasite on the other. If the AI is a superior entity, then what can a human offer it? The current set of AI capabilities don’t need any answers for that question, but it is important to at least consider if the goal is to enable autonomous and self-aware AGI.

The current set of AI capabilities don’t require APIs for human interactions, but for development. People need more touch-based, and vision-based AI interaction tools because that’s how smart phones or the internet (browsers) took off.
It's more than the past couple of years, steady improvements in machine learning stretch back decades at this point. There is no indication this is stopping or slowing down, quite the contrary. We also already know that better is possible because the human brain is still better in many ways, and it exists.

You can claim that continued progression is speculative, and some aspects are, but it's hardly "an article of faith", unlike "we've suddenly hit a surprising wall we can't surmount".

FUD for who?

Feels like a quirk that some of its originators are open source hackers that ended up with Fuchsia being published externally at all. Google definitely doesn't want to attract more killedbygoogle headlines for its experimental projects, and I haven't seen any public Fuchsia evangelization.

If your target platforms are your own smart displays and maybe replacing the Linux kernel in a stack that already doesn't use the Linux userspace, why would you want to spend effort supporting third parties while you're still working on fundamentals?
>Revolutions don't happen when people are mad, they happen when the ones who can afford armies and equipment sense the possibility of coming out on top.

I agree. Too often 'revolutions' are framed as though common people were responsible for it - because it appeals to the modern day 'peasants' ( the 'middle' class and below) ideas of a 'fair' society. They are just pawns in a larger game and they are oblivious to it.
I have to ask does anyone know why the site asks "Are you between 13 and 15 years old?"

Rather odd both the question and the specificity.. Would this not be the same as asking; "Are you 14 years old?"

Not to mention I almost clicked "Yes" thinking it was asking the more common "Are you at least this many years or older?"
Beautiful story. I also learned something new today. Major kudos to James Harrison.

What's missing from their about page is any detail that would support these claims. A list of changed and deleted pages would be a good start, so we could at least judge for ourselves.

Also how do we know we can trust whoever is running this site? Compared to the Internet Archive which has a long track record of reliably mirroring any page requested or crawled.
> The CDC website was gutted in Jan 2025

I trust that this is true, but a cursory browsing through 2024 outbreaks, for example, shows the same information.

To your parent poster's point, it would be nice to have a damning example like "look at this thing that was taken down." Maybe such examples belong somewhere else, but it might help dissuade skeptics.

> What? Greenwald was never a Democrat. Anti-Bush isn't the same thing as Democrat.

Greenwald is a liberal, he was kicked out of liberal circles after the Hunter Biden's laptop story, the liberal elite wanted to suppress during the elections.

Bary Weiss is also a liberal, now hated by the liberal press for blasphemy on a certain subject.

Same with Matt Taibbi, he showed up on MSNBC regularly even on Maddow, now the left calls him a right winger...

> string interning package to its standard library

TFA literally says interning isn't there in Go yet.

While the unique package is useful, Make is admittedly not quite like Intern for strings, since the Handle[T] is required to keep a string from being deleted from the internal map. This means you need to modify your code to retain handles as well as strings.

How will this affect Intel?
I don’t mean this in an overly judgmental way, but how much utility is there to open source physical objects for most people if they don’t also include some sort of cost benefit? What’s the utility of an open source t-shirt you can make for $30 when a 5 pack of shirts from Walmart is $10? I like the idea in concept, but how does a normal person implement open source physical good production?
Perhaps I was just lucky, but 10.6.0 was equally stable as 10.5.8 for me. It did improve with time, and there’s little opposition to 10.6.8 being the best OS X release there was (except maybe 10.9.5), but for me at least it was a great OS even at launch.

We now have a potential deputy secretary of defense who is too scared to acknowledge the objective fact that Russia invaded Ukraine [1] because that gets people ostracized by their cult. We are fucked when government officials can't govern unless pretending the emperor is clothed. This is Salinist/Maoist levels of fuckery. They will happily lie to their sheep with a straight face knowing that they will lap it up as the truth.

Ask HN: Should the Mozilla Foundation be forked?
The recent ToS issues with the Mozilla Foundation [1] isn't the first time its continuing viability as an organization have come into question. Issues like its massive executive salaries [2], its dependence on Google funding [3], continued focus on things like bundled software (!!!) that isn't a web browser (eg Mozilla VPN), and the fact that Firefox is one of the last competing web browser engines to Chromium/Blink - all of that has me wondering if we can continue to trust Mozilla continuing to develop and maintain the Firefox browser.

It's easy for us as devs to say "if you don't like it, fork it" for software code, but the code isn't the problem here. The organization managing and turning the code into a software product is the problem. And we can't necessarily fork that - something totally new would have to be built to manage the Firefox code.

So how do you all feel about this? Is it time to find Firefox (or a successor brand for the codebase) a new home? Is it time for the 3rd iteration of Netscape to happen?

Show HN: Chrome Extension That Shows Your Notion Pages in Search Results
I built a Chrome extension that displays your relevant Notion pages alongside search results. It helps you rediscover your notes when you need them most.

Link: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/at-my-notion/edfigk...

What it does:

- Shows your relevant Notion pages next to search results, with one-click access to jump directly to that page

- Works with Google, Bing, Baidu, and other major search engines

- Eliminates the frustration of recreating notes you already have

Why I built it:

I kept forgetting what I'd already documented in Notion. I'd search for something online, only to later realize I already had detailed notes on the topic. This extension bridges that gap.

How it works:

- Built using Chrome Extension Manifest V3

- Leverages your local Notion cookies to fetch relevant pages without additional login

- Respects your privacy: all data processing happens locally, no tracking

- 100% open source code

Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences if you try it out!
> I sensed that they were just tired of globalism.

With what, a compass? This is an absurd statement, I bet they weren't wearing clothes manufactured in America, or using a phone that was built domestically.

The easiest way to fatigue a nation of nationalists is to let the world move on. The Axis forces might have been tired of globalism, but the globalists sure as hell weren't.

I think the arguments in favor of a globalized economy, as well as the transition to a knowledge economy, are abundant and pervasive. I’m not going to argue in favor of them because they are already so powerful and obvious.

If people conflate their current economic misfortune with a US foreign policy of encouraging global cooperation and participation, then they haven’t thought much about cause and effect.

Someone who cared to address the newfound lack of upward mobility in our society would insist on domestic policies that ensured economic surplus was explicitly invested toward the public good.

The lease mentioned in the article that concerns me more is the weather radar support facility in Norman. Last time I looked into weather data, prediction quality was much worse in the places where the WSR-88D radar coverage is spotty (the West, notably the Rockies) and the models have to rely on satellites and ground sensors; and it seems like Tornado Alley will totally get screwed if the long-range radars that can see wind start to fail?
> The irony about being anti-immigration is that immigration fuels economic growth.

The UK has had increased (net) immigration for decades, including a huge jump in the past few years[0]. The population grew commensurately, likely mostly due to immigration, since as you accurately point out the birth rate is low; there are roughly 13% more people in the UK now than 20 years ago. Why, then, has the GDP per capita flatlined in the same timeframe? Where is the growth that immigration is supposed to fuel?

> Immigration is the only thing fueling that population growth

This is a core neoliberal claim that smacks of "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas".

> The real argument should be about rates of cultural assimilation or acculturation

By all means, let's have that discussion! If immigrants were, by and large, able to acculturate well, there would be much less anti-immigration sentiment.

But the same neoliberalism that supported increased immigration to developed countries on these economic grounds also morphed into a dual prong of claiming that diversity is our greatest strength and that it's racist to expect immigrants to have to conform to their new host culture. Both attitudes are directly at odds with assimilation and acculturation.

Other wealth European nations that took in a lot of immigrants, mostly from grossly incompatible cultures, have seen concerning increases in violent crime and other things deleterious to social cohesion and quality of life.

> (See Japan and Russia)

Japan's population has been shrinking since 2010; its GDP per capita has been treading water for even longer, since the early 90s. Similar story for Russia, whose population has been flip-flopping from growing and shrinking for a few decades, and whose GDP per capita hasn't seen any sustained growth since the late 2000s.

So it's entirely possible to have a stagnant economy, whether or not you receive immigrants.

> Without larger younger, working age generations, social safety nets and productivity investments are difficult to finance

This is about the only unarguably true statement you made. A nation composed of too many nonworking people receiving transfer payments from working people cannot exist in that state for long.
