When will this be available to the general public? I've heard of so many different "internet from space/the sky" schemes from Google Loon to SpaceX to this but I've never once been able to connect to a node to give it a whirl. I'm sure it's a difficult technical challenge but it does seem to be taking a long time!
panic also explains fighting over toiletpaper. if you weren't panicking you'd simply wait until the toilet paper is restocked. there is enough evidence out there that people are panicking.
That accounts for access to space.

Like it or not, there are astronomers pretty pissed off about Starlink & co.

https://twitter.com/superasassn has been pretty open about it, for example. https://twitter.com/89Marvaz/status/1196356715270291456 as well.
> did the author of the original paper go on Tucker Carlson and say that it's 100% effective

He did so, in French but he absolutely offered to go on the French talk shows, with a clear snide to Cauhet, the French equivalent of Tucker Carlson, because people who were not him where scaring people into quarantine while he “has a treatment that cheap, reliable and safe”. So yes, he absolutely did that.

There was no reason to make his presentation public beyond specialists — hell, he quotes studies on the same molecule who have shared temporary results without the same publicity.
I'm finally trying to scratch my own itch and develop something I want (need). I run an auto detailing shop and am desperate for a web app to manage scheduling, quoting, and more. Initially the project was going to be a price comparer for detailing supplies but I decided to pivot. And I know there's other scheduling apps out there but none fit exactly what I needed.

With the whole pandemic going on my business has died off but on the bright side I get more development time.

Should be live shortly. Having trouble deploying the landing page. https://detailingarsenal.com
If you’re visiting the Bay Area, be sure to visit the Computer History Museum in Mountain View. It’s the Mecca of computing history. Also, for early internet history, I’d recommend Katie Hafner’s book: Where Wizards Stay Up Late.
I feel like you're being sarcastic about your "congrats", but it is quite the congratulations, based on your first statement.

They thrive off this, and appear to seek attention above all else. So.. yea, this is actually quite big for them. I'm not saying i approve of them in the slightest, i'm simply saying that your sarcasm was less sarcastic and more entirely accurate, imo.
If you tried to cope with everyone's varying view of blasphemy on a public forum, there isn't much you could say.

Also, you can only really take a gods name in vain if you happen to believe in that god, otherwise it is merely a culturally acquired exclamation. If I say "By Zeus, that bathwater is hot.", I am not being blasphemous unless I believe that Zeus exists.
You start with {x, y, z=0, a, b=0} and then reversibly compute z+=x; z+=y, b+=z; b+=a to end up with {x, y, z=x+y, a, b=x+y+a} from which you could reversibly compute the starting state again with b-=a, etc.
Software is easily defeated.
You can totally do it on three machines, each running triple duty as consul, nomad, and worker machines.
It's very new technology so it has taken years to refine and test.
Ah, you're right, Marks clarifies that racists appropriated the term he coined (http://anthropomics2.blogspot.com/2019/12/i-coined-phrase-hu...). Siskind obviously was referring to the nazi/alt-right/nrx meaning of the term, associated with Sailer, though.

Hey that article is exactly on topic. Here's an excerpt and my translation below:

"Was geschieht, wenn sich ein Pilot zur Toilette begibt, sein Kollege im Cockpit - aus welchen Gründen auch immer - das Bewusstsein verliert oder verstirbt (solche tragischen Fälle kommen durchaus vor) und der nun außerhalb des Flightdecks befindliche Pilot plötzlich keinen Zutritt mehr zur Steuerzentrale des Flugzeuges hat? "

What happens if one pilot visits the WC and his colleague in cockpit - for whatever reason - loses his consciousness (such tragic cases do happen) and yet the pilot outside of the flight deck has no more access to control center of the aircraft?

It almost foresaw what was to happen on flight 4U9525.
This is both so wrong and so right that I don't know where to begin to.

Right because I think that the hands on approach works better than throwing money at charity ... wrong because when you are helping a person you should give them what they need and not what they think need and not what you think they need.

And while I do think that this will help the guy it will be mostly because of his celebrity status and some company will snatch him just for marketing purposes it is not optimal solution. I will rant in details later.

Disclaimer - I had two such "pet projects" that brought limited success although not with homeless people.
They're just USB-C dongles that snap into the chassis.. You can see better shots here: https://frame.work

This is an unpopular opinion, but I think this proves that Apple was right to dump legacy ports. This solution is sort of clever but it sacrifices a ton of internal space that could have been spent on a bigger battery. USB-C, and the correct cables, are all anyone needs.

(the Nespresso analogy is ridiculous, a laptop doesn't exist to consume adapters. But I presume you were enjoying a little tongue-in-cheek with your coffee)
Very disconcerting to launch a laptop without any mention of battery life.
This is excellent, would have loved swappable 18650 based battery packs too!
Legacy HTTP/1.1 suffers a few issues, see the current RFC errata:

https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=7230&rec_st...

There are issues particularly around how whitespace and obsolete line folding should be handled

Various whitespace issues in node.js: https://github.com/nodejs/http-parser/issues?q=is%3Aissue+wh...

Spec clarification: https://github.com/httpwg/http-core/issues/53

Node.js's parser was at one point replacing all white space in headers with a single space character, even though until recently this was non-conformant (you were only supposed to do so with obs-fold). It did this so it didn't have to buffer characters (since http-parser is a streaming parser).

It's not as trivial as a few string splits. Node.js's parser is ~2,500 lines of C code.
At FWD:Everyone we always ensure there are zero known bugs in production at any given time. So if a bug is reported, it's always fixed with 24 hours, and no feature development is done until we're back to zero known bugs. If a user reports a bug before they go to bed, then more often than not they get an email with a postmortem and an explanation of the fix before they wake up. E.g. here is one that I published: https://www.fwdeveryone.com/t/Ebdvx32aSz2DAqxKBpee7w/feature...

IMHO in the long run this saves a lot of time and money. Even bugs with zero user impact can signal some deep misunderstanding about technology, and fixing the problem immediately before it gets replicated everywhere else in the codebase is hugely valuable. Several times there have been cases where there was an extremely inconsequential issue that led to us discovering and fixing all sorts of important bugs that we hadn't even known about.
I really didn't want to use Google Analytics for a personal site (details in bio), but because it's a non-monetised personal site I really didn't want to spend money to know how many visitors I had, but because I'm trying to learn about content I really did want to know how many visitors I had, because that's a good way of discovering what content resonates etc.

I tried PanelBear, but because I briefly hit the front page of HN I blew through their free tier in less than a day.

I wish there was something very basic that had a more generous free tier. At the moment my site literally apologises for using GA.
Also it makes you spend less time obsessing over the numbers when there are fewer numbers.

It's refreshing that the only analytics I get for my open source project is github traffic, not website traffic or download counts.
Absolutely. Understanding and compassion is important - it's still a sign of stagnancy and incompetency in our leadership positions: the best of the best should be at the lead, and these people are not behaving like leaders - they're not behaving as if they are witnessed by their peers, by society; we need people who care what others think about them, their behaviour, the consequences of their actions - and who assume or believe that all of their actions will be accounted for; and perhaps these people needed to have a live video feed on them to help keep them in check, as part of protocol - to actually be witnessed, to create a container for integrity.
Grinders are so important with hand crafted, I've not dropped the $350+ on a Mahlkonig, and I go through a bag a week, so I'm happy to have the store grind. I do have a porlex hand grinder for times when I order a bean based pack from somewhere online, but it's time consuming.

One simple 'hack' for using a french press, as I prefer, is that when pouring the water over only pour enough to cover the grounds. Then stir/shake this around and let it sit for 30 seconds. Then pour over the rest of the water and leave for 4 mins without stiring.

I don't know the science behind it I'm afraid as I read this tip a long time ago, but that inital absorption rather than drowning - leads to a smoother cup. (in my opinion.)

Oh, and support your local roasters! I'm lucky that in my small city there is half a dozen independent companies knocking out great quality beans. For all the staff in their shops may look like the kind of people you don't want to ask a question of, do it, they probably really love coffee and will be able to help your home brew immensely.

--Edit : Beans from Peru are my fav at the momement, give them a shot. :)
For the record I mandated that CDBaby define the process for which they make copyright claims, how they handle due diligence for any preexisting media copyrighted or not. I mandated this after being shrugged off three times in a row, once during email correspondence with CDBaby support "manager."

Nothing was ever clarified.

I keep using "manager" in quotes because their lower support rep and the "manager" shared the same name..
The United States is experiencing this same phenomenon. See ‘Food Desert’. Poor parts of cities and ppor rural areas have been losing their grocery stores for years now.

IDK MacOS blocks saving exports from Sequel Ace every single time I try. Have to do a file dialog dance each time or it silently fails. Guess devs just have to stay on top of the changing API requirements.

I would be more confident in the engineering design behind nuclear power plants if a nuclear plant in Texas hadn’t just frozen last week.
I used this to animate a relative of mine that we had just discovered in court documents (from a mugshot from 1926) and blew my family's collective mind. I had to keep reminding them that this wasn't real - this is an AI-driven fantasy. They did not seem capable of understanding what I was saying. I am scared of our Black Mirror future.
>In practice, asking these two questions and understanding the limits of where you can intervene is sufficient in 99% of cases.

Hah, try it at a hotel that charges pet cleaning fees. Or limits the number of animals in a room. It's 99% sufficient at Costco, because the cost is low of not getting in. When you're looking at shelling out money for a pet fee or not having to pay for pet boarding or pet sitters at home, suddenly 10%+ of the population has service animals.

>Why is this a problem? Different breeds have different characteristics, and there are a variety of reasons to have a service dog -- from PTSD to blindness to diabetes.

It's not a problem necessarily, but you can sort of tell who is and isn't lying about service animals, at least by the discrepancy in total numbers and which ones are coming in with the badges and vests (indicating they don't know about actual ADA laws).
I don't see that language anywhere except for the case of miniature horses?
I think you missed the rationale for fair use.
That is an issue for uber to work on dealing with - it is not an issue for the person with the disability that needs the service animal.

https://www.ada.gov/service_animals_2010.htm

> Allergies and fear of dogs are not valid reasons for denying access or refusing service to people using service animals. When a person who is allergic to dog dander and a person who uses a service animal must spend time in the same room or facility, for example, in a school classroom or at a homeless shelter, they both should be accommodated by assigning them, if possible, to different locations within the room or different rooms in the facility.

Being an "independent contractor" doesn't absolve someone from the ADA.
I haven't had much of a chance to look through most of these but the one I'm most interested in and the one which stood out from the submitters is Xoodyak, created by the winners of of the SHA-3 competition.

It's a sponge construction like SHA-3 but the "volume" is 384-bits which is designed to fit inside 12-32-bit registers which is now more common for Cortex-M embedded microcontrollers.
Huh, really ?

Well, I guess this explains the Brexit...

I suppose that Scots might be excluded?
Arguably were are already there. Every car on the market gets to the speed limit quick enough and gets about the same MPG, so therefore cars are already in this nike shoe to balenciaga state, since the actual added performance functionality you get in the porsche today is useless, dangerous, and illegal except on private tracks (and maybe 1% of owners will bring their cars to one of these, far more will drive their cars dangerously on public roads).

I think in this light you will have to look and see how luxury cars differentiate, even though a Porsche, Mercedes, BMW, and v6 Honda Accord all go very fast today. Luxury brands have fit and finish that isn't found on the similarly speedy v6 Honda accord. If Tesla would like to remain competitive in their price bracket, they will have to start offering an interior and overall fit and finish worthy of standing among other $30k-$40k cars on the market today. IMO from my own personal experiences with Teslas, some base model cars from other manufacturers on the market have less rattly and cheap feeling interiors, and a giant iPad is a poor (distracting) crutch.

I should have prefaced my original question with "all other things being equal...".

I believe you can have browser history, bookmarking, email this link any thing else you might want to do with the page in a single page application and also get the benefit of not doing a full page refresh.

Single page application are reletively new and kinks are being worked out but if I could have my cake and eat it too, I wouldn't stand in the way of those trying to make that a reality.
Because a database is an optimized flat file with a query engine. Its commonly the case that you wish to optimize your flat files' performance and query them. I believe that pg has mentioned a few times that he's 'notorious' for using flat files for this kind of thing. I'd love to see the code for Viaweb and the design decisions in there.
Lambdas aren't that interesting after all. I wouldn't call it 'lambda functions', but just 'lambda notation'. Having to name your functions is a inconvenience at most.
As far as I know the legal system, in say, Germany doesn't recognize illegally gained evidence either.
Google Fravia!
I think stegosaurus's idea is that a sufficiently motivated government or billionaire could make that land attractive to urbanites. Cheap rent in high-rises + an art and cultural scene attracted by the low cost of living + planning the city around public transportation and bike/walkability rather than personal cars + fiber to the home/office = I'd happily live somewhere that would otherwise be considered the middle of nowhere due to "boring" or unpleasant geography.

Pretty far fetched, but if Elon Musk wants to build The City of Tomorrow, sign me up.

EDIT: stegosaurus, for some silly reason HN hides the reply link for the first few minutes after a post is made, but if you click the direct link to my post, you can reply anyway.
The numbers seem to be based off current days knowledge of old world methods. I'd imagine after spending so much time doing a task, they must have found a way to be at least a bit more efficient at using their own tools to do the job.
So I guess this means that the whole 'consensus' thing around global warming is pointless.
"What matters isn’t what people thought the answer was- since they only had incomplete information- but rather that this debate was an important step in laying out what the arguments would be to support each of these two competing ideas."

Just about time, now please let's stop with the (completely flawed) 97% meme.
> Just represent everything in a machine readable set of axioms, problem solved.

We all look forward to the day that you or anyone else can do this.

emptytheory's suggestion: have tons of time and determination to solve the problem. Caveat: the problem has already been solved and applied by many experts many times, where the main criticism is that some of the time these experts' application over repeated attempts is not 100% consistent.

Your suggestion: encode all necessary knowledge to solve the problem so that a computer can solve it for you. Caveat: this is either being done already by domain experts, or you must go out of your way to navigate the problem based on logic and not experience (tedious, but potentially very rewarding) so as to encode this information yourself (taking some unknown amount of time).

Caveat in all cases: You are just as apt to fuck up along the way as anyone else who possesses the same logical faculties as you, which presumably at least some other experts in question would.

lumberjack's argument may not possess the logical upper hand, but it is a valid concern for people who are mortal, employed (or otherwise occupied with their time), and without access to a medical library. Perhaps the best way to put this is, I look forward to the day when you can prove their reasoning wrong in such a reproducible way rather than completely dismissing a conclusion due to some fault along the way.
plays per fumble is not a very good metric - as fumbles go down it increases exponentially. If you look at the total fumbles, the patriots are #1 but only 7 ahead of #2. The two worst teams are 10 behind the next two teams. I didn't run the numbers, but eyeballing it, it seems like the Patriots are pretty easily within a couple standard deviations there.
It's funny how the article's epigraph quotes Trofim Lysenko, who was known for his book-cooking and numerous earth-shaking irreproducible results.

Is it used ironically? I failed to grasp that.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trofim_Lysenko
There are places where you can't afford to live even if housing costs zero - if "noone wants to live there" then after a single generation, the place has no jobs, no nearby infrastructure (schools, social services, etc), and all the goods and services cost more (if available at all) than in the affluent regions simply due to lack of economies of scale.

This is a big problem in some areas, where urban regions have a lack of housing despite a construction boom, while rural regions have empty houses available for 20-30% of what it would cost to build a similar house.

If I moved to a place like that, the extra cost in time and fuel in driving myself and (especially) the kids between there and a reasonable city would be much greater than what I currently spend on housing.
Thank you for the tip on Burnley/Accrington, I genuinely appreciate it and will be looking into it more. Quite a bit cheaper than the North East, I was looking at about 60-70K GBP for ex council. Would leave a lot more leeway for a lower paid job.

It doesn't really help that much though, unless you're willing to live hundreds of miles from family, friends, potentially split with your partner, etcetera.

The decent spec MacBook chat is interesting if you're a well paid worker, but not really otherwise. I can't see myself ever buying a full price MacBook or a new car unless my situation changes dramatically.

It's not really even the pricing that bugs me as much as the complete lack of understanding demonstrated by the Government. Every single policy is aimed at inflating house prices to the sky seemingly indefinitely.
It's not that he doesn't give a crap. It's that his priorities are different. The real question here is "How can someone have priorities different from me?".

I submit the answer is "Why would they share yours? They aren't you.".
How do you staff them properly without pulling people out of the already overloaded system?

There's no indication that they would actually deleverage if bailed out in this fashion.

FFS, these "strong businesses" are so extremely fragile that they are liable to go bankrupt because they can't roll over some of their debt. And now the Fed just wants to let them roll it over again consequence free.
Well, yes, if you define "appropriately pessimistic bond markets" as "non-functioning", sure.

These aren't sound businesses, because the current virus is going to screw them.
