But for real, I've also been working on large-scale photo/video management, and the question of where to keep additionally metadata has bothered me. It seems right to want to keep it "in" the file, and so I want to write it into EXIF, or even steganography, or something.

The left has been authoritarian. Rewind the clock to 2018, and speak your mind freely on a college campus and at some point you’ll say something that makes you lose your job. That’s one of many examples of the left being actually authoritarian.

I’m not saying two wrongs make a right and I’m not justifying the current administration. But if we look to how we got here, that’s a lot of why, if not mostly why.

It's the material blend. They usually use cotton in the vertical direction of the weave or knit, and then elastane in the horizontal. Stretch the fabric and you'll see the whole thing is held up by essentially tiny rubber bands.
I really dislike extreme views. 0 or 1. This is a concept that only fits the Digital world. The world we live in is analog. Although we call the world we live in a 'Digital World,' in reality, the 'Digit' itself is simply recorded on a certain analog machine.

Just because the 'AI' services we use today cause certain levels of error doesn't mean we can disregard their value as zero. Are Apple’s services flawless? (Vision Pro... I won’t say more.) Since humans are not perfect, everything created by humans can never be perfect. Between 0 and 1, there are countless values like 0.1, 0.0002, etc. Ignoring this concept is something I personally find truly repulsive.

When the so-called 'AI' industry was booming, Apple was completely fumbling. Why? Because Apple is not perfect either. After all, Apple is run by people.
For the social platforms, are you hooking up to their APIs or just using Google? I'm only interested in emails and would pay a small price for that (say 5-7/month). I've signed up and added my first keyword to test.

That being said, here is an additional feature: being able to track discord/slack/telegram by providing my API key and you streaming the content of the groups I've signed up to.
The current administration does not support free speech for everyone. It's actively punishing free speech.

You're right -- many people who claim to support free speech really mean they favor "free speech for me, not for thee." And typically these people want to be able to say controversial things without consequence. But how people respond to speech is orthogonal to whether or not we are allowed to exercise our rights to it.

The ACLU did "free speech absolutism" right back in the 90's and 00's. They defended everyone's speech, no matter the politics, no matter how socially right or wrong it was [1]. They'd step up to bat for Democrats, Republicans, Christians, Atheists, and Satanists. Your views didn't matter. Defending the rights we all share was the point. Because when someone else's rights are degraded and not defended, it means everyone's rights are up for attack.

Unfortunately the ACLU doesn't hold these same views today. They're batting for one team only.

[1] They defended Westboro Baptist Church and NAMBLA, FFS. I definitely hate both of these organizations, but free speech is free speech. By defending even the most reprehensible speech, it ensures that mine remains free regardless of how the political pendulum swings. That's how it should be, anyway.
I don't think anyone identifies as "free speech absolutists" in the first place, except for Elon Musk one famous time. Strong free speech advocates remain about as common as they've always been, as far as I can tell - I suspect you just don't notice so much during times when the strongest threats to free speech are people and groups you're already inclined to oppose.
Crazy thing is at the same time so many students are way overqualified - 13 APs, 1580 SAT isn't enough to get into a T10 university. Is it really a case of just a bimodal population? Or something else?
The mental model I was presented with is that the ocean bulges toward (and, on the other side of the earth, away from) the moon, and the earth spins within the ocean. If you take a perspective that is fixed to a particular point on the earth, you'll see the tides constantly moving past, but that's an illusion just like the rising and setting of the sun. They're both really the rotation of the earth.
> Freedom of speech is just the easiest way to have plausible deniability when directly or indirectly defending otherwise indefensible positions.

The idea that it's somehow suspicious to be in favor of free speech has got to be one of the worst developments in American politics.

And, for whatever it's worth, every vocal "free speech person" I know doesn't like the current administation. Some people actually just have principles!

Sounds like an easy way to solve both problems. Does it cache the fandom site, pull it all down, or it's just a redirector / re-theming front-end and makes calls out to fandom for each page load?

I skimmed the docs looking for an architecture overview, but couldn't see an answer to this. The low resource requirements cited for the docker container install suggest it's just doing page-loads and re-rendering them.

EDIT: So I've now set this up as via docker on my nomad cluster, and it's just proxying the pages and searches to and fro. It's a bit heavy - sitting at about 410MB while idle, but doesn't feel like there's any performance impact compared to hitting upstream directly.

It is not false, doctors has to treat you if you have a life threatening condition. Insurance companies only decide for stuff that are unrelated to that.

I believe one of the early maps of the americas by Amerigo Vespucci was found in a similar way. Re-using paper to hand making the binding, padding the covers, wrapping the bound signatures before the outer leather or board was added was surprisingly common. John Le Carré uses it in "the perfect spy" as a mechanism to pass secret information to an amateur book binder.

It speaks to me of Robert Grave's fictitious account of Claudius deciding rather than hiding them, to leave his (fictional) autobiographical scrolls just lying around, let history decide what to keep and what to dispose of.
I think it's a mistake to think people are just oblivious. It's not a majority but there are actually a lot of people aware of these things and celebrating them.

One thing I don't see mentioned a lot but Trump has made being a victim a fairly central part of his politics (him thinking all elections are rigged against him is a simple example of this) so this all makes sense as a sort of retribution. You can see the retribution, often personal, against people conspiring against him in a lot of his speeches and policies (he's even blamed immigrants before for bringing drugs and "poisoning the blood of our country" and implied they are conspiring against the US) and there are people that care about that retribution more than rights or other ideals.

I could write pages more about how you can hear how the idea of victimization and retribution is part of his talks on tariffs, foreign policy, immigration, "DEI", law offices, the judicial system, etc but obviously it would be too long for an internet comment. Once I noticed it I started seeing it everywhere with him.
It's not that Europe has never developed the tech... the UK developed and launched an orbital rocket in the 60s/70s but it had to be shipped to Australia to be launched. I can't remember the specifics but I recall reading that Europe just isn't a geographically optimal place to launch rockets.

This area is near and dear to my heart, and I would offer that the solution isn't to decouple CD over into its own special little thing but rather to make the CD "multi factor" in that it must be "sub":"repo:octo-org/octo-repo:environment:prod"[1] and feel free to sprinkle in any other [fun claims][] you'd like to harden that system

I'm amenable to hearing out this argument, but it would be rude to let you slip by with "in 2018, if you spoke your mind, you'd get fired." You and I both know that wouldn't fly in middle school debate class, even, and I don't want to cheapen our relationship by nodding along to it.
Recent win: US Supreme Court refuses to hear challenge to New York Times vs. Sullivan. So less than four justices even thought it was worth looking at this issue again.

Did they say "you shouldn't be allowed to say those things" or did they say "you shouldn't say those things"? Pretty big difference.
And yet they're being told to say/think/do every single day by Trump, Fox News, and the rest of conservative or alt right media, including people like Alex Jones and Joe Rogan.

They love being told what to think.
I think there is probably a lot of claim denial and bullshit rolled up into the 85% number. You make it seem like they are an efficient distributor of healthcare where which they are not. Every provider hates them because they create a ridiculous amount of Paperwork overhead and cost to the entire system. They are the healthcare equivalent of DOGE.
> Disappearing people is not something the US government is allowed to do.

How do you mean? Is it that legally it's not allowed to, so it's obviously not what happened here -- it must be someone else or some other government or entity that "disappeared" him. Or, legally it's not allowed to, but they clearly did it and we should be alarmed?

In the past US government quite happily droned civilians, experimented on its own citizens, planned coup and coup in all kind of countries, engaged in torture and extra judicial detainment of people in Guantanamo for years.
Personally I always ask for lecture/presentation slides - it's common practice in computing and related fields. Technical conferences (be they industry-focused like Nvidia GTC or more research-focused like Usenix ATC) routinely provide presentation slides and recordings. Both are extremely valuable.

I understand that a professor may dream of lectures passing through students' brains before being recorded in high-quality, personalized notes. The reality is that lectures are easier to follow when you aren't frantically trying to copy down the lecture slides as well as what the instructor is saying (after all, it might be on the exam!)

Presentation slides are valuable instructional materials, and withholding them is unlikely to improve learning. In my experience, the best lecture-based courses (in science/math/engineering at least) provide material in at least three ways: in the textbook or readings, in the spoken lectures, and in presentation slides or provided lecture notes – with reinforcement and active learning via problem sets, labs, and/or projects. Interactive review sessions, discussion sections, and tutorials can also help.
> People by and large do not want "solid, modern, coherent plans".

Surely a mother-knows-best attitude will work.

> Both kamala and hillary clinton had those.

Surely denying massive campaign problems, such as "basket of deplorables" and not distancing herself from Biden, will work.

> People want to be told the strong man will make everything better if you just give up a few rights.

Surely strawmanning any solid, modern, coherent plan as stripping away rights will work.

>Does your post, in specific, say anything meaningful? Not really, you just throw out some vapid complaints and then tell us you hope the world will change.

Did you want me to go say some full-time working-class person working paycheck to paycheck can just go run for office and singlehandedly defeat Trump in a landslide victory?
Go play with Lovable and see what you think. You shouldn't ignore your fears. The more you learn, the better prepared you'll be.
The "average" college student description fits Harvard students quite well.

Harvard used to offer a "shopping week" at the beginning of each semester, so the students could attend classes and then decide to enroll or not. Needless to say, it devolved into a prof arbitrage, where no student would take a class if prof required attendance, frequent homework, or strict no make-up policy. It was abandoned last year.

Anti-affirmative action lawsuit against Harvard revealed that admins and profs had known that most of AA and DEI types would fail and never graduate, or would have to change to non-stem fields. So, they offered layers, upon layers of extra-classrooms (dorm based) help - recitations by grad students, group P-setting, free tutoring, emergency tutoring on exam nights, etc - just to keep the graduation rates up. So students stop going to classes, never bothered to take notes or even open a textbook, just attend the help session on the eve of quizzes/exams!

MIT isn't far behind, it offers 6 different version of physics 1 (8.01, 8.011, 8.012, 8.01L, ES.801, ES.8012). So most students just need to pick the right class and they're guaranteed to pass, why bother with the details.

Cell phones are just an obvious symptom, they're not the cause. The more expensive & elitist the college education gets, the more transactional the students will regard it.
>I thought this country was founded on the principles of enlightenment.

I'm gonna be honest, the actual founding fathers as individuals aside, most of the people coming over where arguably running away from the Enlightenment rather than towards it, and a superstitious and fantastical isolationism was the norm, not the exception for most of America's history, while the post WWII leadership role was more of an accident. In some ways, this is old habits reasserting themselves

Delusional people will see all information as supporting their delusion.
I've come to realize there's absolutely no reforming the Democratic Party. They are willing accomplices in this. Consider these examples:

- In 2001, an open socialist, India Walton, won the Democratic primary for mayor. The State Democratic Party united with Republicans to fund a write-in campaign to re-elect Byron Brown as mayor, which was successful [1];

- Adam Schiff and the California Democratic Party spent millions to prop up a Republican to get the second-most votes in the California Senate primary. Why? California has what's called a "jungle primary" where the two candidates with the most votes in the primary, regardless of party, are on the ballot in the general election. The Republican has no chance so Schiff and the California Democrats are just making sure no progressive ends up on the ticket;

- The shenanigans in 2016 to make Hilary Clinton, a terrible candidate, the Democratic nominee for president over Bernie Sanders, including withholding funding, the threat of superdelegates and generally just putting the thumb on the scale at every turn;

- Again in 2020 with Bernie Sanders. Jim Clyburn and the DNC arranged for Biden to take South Carolina. Elizabeth Warren stayed in just long enough to peel off Bernie's votes. Other candidates got out of the way (eg Pete Buttigieg) and were rewarded for it with Cabinet positions;

- When Biden finally withdraw his re-election bid one option on the table was to have a convention primary. Instead Biden and the DNC simply anointed Kamala Harris because they were scared a progressive might win;

- Henry Cuellar, Congressman from Texas, is the (I believe) only anti-choice Democratic in the House. He has twice now faced a stiff primary challenge from progressive Jessica Cisneros who ran a grassroots campaign, the last time only winning by a few hundred votes. Democratic heavyweights like Nancy Pelosi and Jim Clyburn went down to campaign for him in Texas.

If the Democratic Party opposed Trump half as well as they do progressive elements in their own party, we'd be living in a very different country.

I re-built a dance event web site one year ago with Django. The site was implemented by somebody else 15 years ago. It has 1M-2M page views per month.

Now I am building into it some features so other people can help me to run it, such as ticketing system (with AI), and statically generated copy of the site to improve availability.

I am also working on a service management tool, based on USM method. USM method is kind of "open source" version of ITIL, although it works on a different level than ITIL.

In my EU country, lots of first year students are kind of lost and are picking their major more or less at random (or very unprepared). Very low passing rates in first year are very common. It gets better in 3rd year and after.

I've found, since about the end of the Obama admin, a huge gap between the outraged base and the realities of politics on the ground that's made me quite despondent. The base just wants to talk about how outraged they are to each other on every piece of media they can. It's like social signaling; you have to tell every other upper middle class news addicted millennial or GenX how much you hate the current administration constantly.

But there's no effort to convince swing voters to vote against Trump. The midterms will be here before anyone knows it and it's going to be the first big chance to push back on the current administration, but I see so little work that's being done to create a coherent opposition party. Ezra Klein's book on Abundance was a great starting point. In Dem spaces though, reaction to the book was pretty much absent. Most of Dem base temporarily got busy trying to come up with ways that Klein has failed some progressive purity test (centrists are fascists, environmental injustice, etc etc.) Then after that, most just ignored his vision and went back to crying about the current administration.

IMO the Dems cranky, upper middle class news addicted base is its worst feature. They continue to kneecap the Dems from being a real opposition party. Telling people how bad the administration is won't make a good opposition party. It worked just enough for 2020 but ran out of steam by 2024. Dems need to create a vision of the future under Dem rule.

I suspect it's because the coalition that kept the Democratic party together has failed and its current base is just too small to win votes in elections. They've lost their bonafides among the trade unions, they've lost their appeal to the technology class, their strongest supporters remain the social-progress bloc which may be overrepresented online but is just too small of a force to win in elections.
I don't think he is condoning it or saying it's legal, simply that it was a campaign promise being fulfilled.

He's simply making the case for profiles and trying to rally the people he works with around that as a necessary goal. That's something that any leadership has to do from time to time. That's also something he's done before when he warned everyone about proposing a bunch of incompatible features with no clear vision. Nothing unexpected here, in no way is this "panicking".
I'm hesitant to write politics here because of how many people write scathing and rude comments, but I'll attempt to give a US perspective on the last election.

I think there were just a series of events that led to nobody getting excited by D in the election, allowing Trump to win. Especially when you consider that moderates and NPAs always decide the elections.

Inflation was out of control(by US standards) for Biden's entire term. In fairness this started at the end of Trump1 but carried on for years. Will Trump fix it? Who knows, I think most expect tariffs to make it even worse.

Immigration seemed unchecked, which itself probably wouldn't have been a huge issue, but news and social media 'investigators' came out about how much the gov was giving them - money, housing, healthcare, etc. Struggling and newly struggling people got really, really angry about money being spent there. That was a super easy play for R's all election season.

But the nail in the coffin IMO was the debate disaster, CNN turning on Biden as not fit to be president overnight, then last minute odd resignation letter via Twitter. Then injected with a candidate nobody had a say in, to boot.

So in short, a combination of people angry at 'the system' rebelling, and a candidate without much real support. I don't feel like R's won the election as much as I feel like D's imploded themselves. For the sake of not having an uniparty, I hope they rethink things. I feel like Newsom making a more moderate shift is a play in that direction, we'll see.

Just my .02.

On the plus side their protest is already enormously successful and it hasn’t even happened yet.
It's been under attack a lot longer than the current administration.

"free-speech does not mean freedom from consequences",

"free speech does not apply to hate-speech",

"we must suppress and limit the spread of misinformation",

It really seems that people do not believe in free speech anymore, and only appeal to it as a principle to defend themselves, never to defend those they disagree with.
There's no need to wonder, as polls of which issues voters find most important are common in the US. See https://news.gallup.com/poll/651719/economy-important-issue-... if you're curious.

And this is fine because hacker news is just a web site and getting flagged may damage one’s ego but it doesn’t impact your freedom. Law firms being attacked by POTUS for their lawful actions, networks being frivolously sued and people being arrested without due process are the issue here.
