Is that so? You're sure this is all about guidelines?

Seems like you didn't protect me from people throwing insults like this, and so then banning me while I'm defending against it, just makes you complicit in enabling their abusive behavior.

What will you create for yourself if that's how you moderate?

Probably just a jewelry box and some old letters.

This is really funny, I like this. This is so cool.

Ask HN: Advice for VC Meeting

Currently raising funding to develop an open protocol to build atop Chrome, basically building rich plugins that can do things that aren't normally possible with DevTools or Chrome Extensions API. Instead of factoring out layers of this and pre-maturely working out how to turn these layers into businesses to self-fund, I want to focus on making the protocol as good as possible, so other people...

Yes, friend: https://github.com/dosycorp/robot-head

If you wanna play audio (yer username, c'mon), see: https://boogeh.com (audio works but is like 20 seconds lag as we encode it)

There's docker image linked there as well.

Hit me up if you have any issues: [email protected] or @browsergap on twitter. X

This is great. But could you explain what it actually does and how you developed it and are you earning money from it?
I got the same when I opened it using my browser. So I opened it in my "remote browser" (this is not a plug, just a help): https://free.cloudbrowser.xyz and it was much more usable.

Ask HN: Meeting with VC, what should I say?

A takeaway seems to be: if you're going to use AI in product, let the AI power a whole new type of product, not use it as a feature in an existing one.
Sure they did. Some anon was unhappy with that response. Could be main account of the throw but who cares? My repliy is directed at anyone unhappy with that response.

Don't blame me if you're unhappy with that response, "Anon" . You need to let people know what your pain points are. Not prepared to provide any details in your question? Then don't expect any details in a response, is that unclear to you? Your reaction is your responsibility, "Anon".

No I don't mean the automata rules, I mean the calculation describing how the cells move when you drag them around.

Possibly off-topic but who will be Sundar's successor? Who is likely?
Re:Hyperbolic Cellular Automata Simulator on Wednesday December 04, 2019 @08:25AM (#21701920)
When you drag the hyperbolic plane it moves and redraws. How is this translation of the cells calculation done?

This is very cool.

This just means another paradox of fake liberal ideology is showing.

It's not surprising if the strategies such as diversity quotas are not effective. Because they're not meant to be effective. They're meant to virtue signal. Ergo they are meant to only redirect people's anger towards an ineffective end, not to create an actual improvement.

For another example, take a prevailing narrative in fake feminism that continually tells women they are disempowered victims. This doesn't help bring balance, it only helps disenfranchise women.

Of course, if that were true, why would anyone believe any of these narratives such as diversity quotas? Because they provide the fake victim fake payoff: there's something very compelling about not having to be responsible for your problem but instead being able to blame someone else albeit incorrectly. It's very satisfying and an effective means to redirect anger towards a ineffective but satisfying ends. It's very compelling for people and gets them hooked.

Another place these fake payoffs are used to manipulate people is in terrorist recruitment. You can sublimate raw economic issues and individuals dissatisfaction into blaming and hatred towards another state, you can create armies of willing footsoldiers.

I'd suggest there's a further parallel between armies and the "Twitter armies": legions of ideologues willing to crucify anyone who dares disagrees.

So it's not surprising these so-called strategies do little effective. they're not meant to, they're meant to preserve the status quo. And they do that by the simple psychological mechanism of redirecting people's anger towards something ineffective.

There is a big reason but I don't know what you need so I can't say.

Re:Sundar will be the CEO of both Google and Alphabet on Wednesday December 04, 2019 @12:09AM (#21699764)
not that I know anything but it seems like the decision was complex both to create the Alphabet and now to kind of merge it under one CEO.

I think some of the reasons could be they no longer see a risk of anti Monopoly regulation targeting them so they don't need to keep everything so divided. they genuinely want to give Sundar a go. They need a process to gradually fade out The original founders, but also importantly ensure those founders isolate their risk from any future missteps the companies take, and vice versa.

maybe the two co-founders were simply getting in the way.

this would be possible. you can create incognito tabs via right click. each of these has a separate ephemeral profile, so separate sessions and cookies. you could then modify the user agent and navigator platform for each of those different browser contacts. however they still all go over the same IP.

not sure how to make different IP per tab, but perhaps proxy settings are scoped to the browser context, so it might be possible, haven't read the devtools protocol deeply about that.

I like this a LOT

What about defanged?

What sort of person hours went into this?
Sorry, yes you must type protocol/scheme. Sorry I did not think of FQDN as enough. I'll add the issue now, thanks! :)

Also, it's not obvious, but you can reload by right clicking to get context menu -> selecting "realod", or you can click on the "->" button to the right of the omnibox/address bar.

If you look a little closer, and spend a little more time, I think you'll find it does have "at least have some of the same basic functions as my typical browser."

Um, that's awesome! Thanks!
Damn, that's a good idea. Thank you. :) Reheadless. Frankenchrome... Anyone got some good names?
Thanks, what's been the biggest horror for you? The page is what I was going for. So there's that, and ah... horrifying you is a bonus, I guess?

I don't know much about doing contemporary design, and I think I can emulate something. Maybe you can suggest a landing page this should look like and I can copy that style? I would appreciate it. Up to you :)

Thanks. There were some good points raised there specific to the secure remote isolated browser use case.

I'm posting because it's clear that this is more than just a security product. It's a UI and backend to use headless chrome like a regular browser, except in the cloud instead of your device.

sometimes I get lazy and creative about HTML/CSS. "I don't wanna work out how to get it just there...okay RTL, done!" :)
