It's very naive to assume that they wouldn't collect and report the telemetry regardless. Filtering then bundling and compressing the data while staggering the calls back home. Any outbound traffic to Microsoft could be injected w

If not for anything, the icon looks good. Although it is not out yet, Garbage Country's art direction looks good :) wishlisted.

Regression to the mean. The alternative is no adjustment at all.

I am not certain; but, costs do not have a causative relationship to prices. Prices only go down because as the cost of production goes down, supply increases. It is a correlative relationship. Bitcoin's supply won't increase as c

Regarding threads, I am in complete agreement with you; JavaScript is a terrible language. More important than multi-threading is how JavaScript deals with memory; which is more important for a typical websites performance, and many program

You are very much right, I appreciate your comment.

I realize this is not an orthodox view, but WASM won't make the typical user have a better experience. I think it could improve Photopea, the various office suite programs, and perhaps unknown unknowns. But, much more important than th

I doubt that 5 billion people could watch the Olympics at all. Where I am from, there is so little interest in the Olympics that I doubt even half my countries' population would be interested. I have never watched the Olympics ever, an

This is one of a very small set of reasonable reactions to such policies. Yet, it is unrealistic to expect that Canonical and Red Hat would service and maintain separate distributions of their main products. System76 could just ship a diffe

It seems quite readable. I would say most Arabic speakers would be able to read and understand it. I had no trouble reading it myself.

That isn't true though, coupons, boarding passes, and even confidential documents use Eurion marks. It's not everywhere because it isn't worthwhile going through the hassle of getting printers that can print them; while 3D pr

The Arab Spring, the Mahsa Amini protests, the recent resurgence of the Palestinian/Israeli conflict, have all been conducted primarily using social media. This is a very narrow scale when taking the bigger picture, as these are just p

I am not much into AI, but more demand for faster memory is good for all of us. Even if, in the short term, prices increase.

I only skimmed through this; I have no real information on the particular game, but I think the console versions could be much smaller as less duplication is necessary when the hardware is uniform.

I too would like to understand why. Perhaps the only one I care for is that I would not like to give too much power to Microsoft in choosing who can contribute. Others have issue with their code being used in AI training, but I find no issu

I believe that their intention was closer to "regardless of your personal political beliefs"; not "average of political beliefs".

No one is stealing anything, millions willingly immigrate, they get to live better lives (according to their desires) and the home country gets back increased trade, transfer of capital, tourism, and many other things.

So what to you is the alternative better interpretation; that they continue in destitute poverty?

by AlOwain 1y ago
You are entirely right; but the conclusion they intend to argue for is that immigration supplements the declining population, still this is obviously just an attempt at giving authority to preconceived political beliefs.

I mean, to be fair, it seems to be the prevailing culture in GitHub for a while now, to quote Nat Friedman[1]; "It's important to do things fast . . . Going fast makes you focus on what's important; there's no time for b

That would really surprise me, however, I really would like to know more about what they mean by consent; I believe the HN title is a bit misleading since this doesn't state a ban of "compulsory facial recognition", but requi

He was certainly not predestined, but his inclinations and temperaments did distinguish him. True some luck is involved; it is a necessary part, but individuals are often what induces the procuring of wealth.

Could it be that the technical nature of your website creates a biased sample? I'd estimate that the difference between Firefox and Chrome users in spoofing their user-agent and blocking trackers is far less than the bias created by sa

I don't know how; but I find that you said that ingenious. This comment section is full of touting it as a positive (somehow?) and being pessimistic about U.S. capabilities today in comparison to China. No one seems to mention that al
