I touched on it in my other comment -- I got hung up on its CB1... Agonism, I believe? Which I'd always asserted was strictly inflammatory in addition to maybe any other analgesic side effects.

I'll hold it in some level of mystery until I can figure out what the divide is founded on, it's certainly an unexpected result from my perspective.

Thanks for clarifying, much appreciated! :)
This looks like an article you would find at the bottom of the page alongside a gif showing how much weight you can lose by switching to an all banana diet.
I had a very severe allergic reaction to Powerbeats Pro and many people have reported the same problem with Powerbeats Pro and AirPods Pro. It seems most likely to have something to do with a coating on the silicone tips. Apple is stalling with people that report it.

Yes, it's true. There are unique words in Ladino that a Spanish speaker won't be able to identify, but my main takeaway is that modern Spanish and Ladino are mutually intelligible.
Of course, my monitor isn't calibrated ^^"

However, pure red will always appear brighter than non-pure red, even at the same luminance (~energy), which is what Helmholtz-Kohlrausch is about. IIRC pure red appears brighter than other pure colors as well at the same luminance level, but I am not sure how computer monitors interact will all of the above...
They’re not exactly security literate. Here is IB defending no pasting of passwords from a password manager. I tweeted this early last year and I guess Troy Hunt just revived the issue with them. https://twitter.com/mmaunder/status/1243592529855078406?s=21
I agree. The question was interesting and I wouldn't have minded if it was allowed to remain long enough to get some answers.

The best answer given is still flawed (eg: his mov example is backward, so he's actually describing movl from gas). So a continuation of the conversation would have been worthwhile.
6 months ago Berners-Lee was claiming to be on the road to rolling out Web 2.0, a de-centralized protocol we'd all jump on to be free of this cruft.

Fast-forward to now and his new scheme is a sort of UN for Web 1.0? And, like the UN, one that is totally powerless beyond sternly written letters and is governed by some of the greatest infringers of the very rights it's claiming to protect?

I'm going to assume he isn't as naive as one would have to be to blindly push such a doomed-to-fail proposition, so on the same assumption this has to be some sort of fight for relevancy or mere publicity.

Why single out China, Russia, Iran?

> That's because they have such strong motivations to keep things as they are, and even make them worse.

And the EU, Britain, US, etc don't?

I know it's hard to believe, the leader of internet censorship isn't in China, Russia or Iran. It's in europe.

And the leaders of tech censorship isn't in China, it's in the US since major tech companies are in the US.
Actually, they won't even test you on Skill X, if they are hiring for Skill X. They'll just make you take tests on Leetcode.

You are just better off skipping all this, and focusing on Leetcode interviews instead.
I agree, I've heard of 'the flow' but it's never happened to me.

Perhaps related, perhaps not, I never 'sink in' to films I'm watching. My old GF seemed to be able to, but I'm always on the outside looking in, never immersed. I wonder if that's linked.
Cable pricing is odd... it constantly rises, but is reset to a promotional price whenever something changes (or threatens convincingly to change). It's common to call, and say you want to cancel because the price went up, that you're switching to satellite or something. That usually works.

I'm on Time Warner, and I just happened to move apartments, and I got the price reset without really asking for it. Some sort of "new service" treatment even though I only moved to a new address in roughly the same city.
I was talking about the repository linked from the original mailing list post: https://github.com/libos-nuse/linux-libos-tools
Political zones are not the same thing as the abbreviated zones.

IANA time zone identifiers are fully-qualified and unambiguous like America/Los_Angeles or Asia/Kolkata.
Generally, a comment such as this should also include some words from you about what kind of point you're trying to make by referring to the longer work. I think you're trying to use this blog post as evidence that patent and copyright protection are mutually exclusive, but from skimming this post it seems to only say that they should be mutually exclusive, while the Federal Circuit apparently disagrees. So at the very least, you would need to also point out how this Supreme Court decision reaffirms the blog post's position and strikes down the Federal Circuit on that question. But that seems to be far beyond the subject matter that the Supreme Court has actually ruled on today.

And you still haven't addressed why anyone should prefer APIs to be covered by copyright rather than patent law, when patents have much shorter duration and are more easily challenged.
Employers are not legally required to set hours for their employees.

Taxes in the US are labeled (accurately, but perceived negatively) around what you have — income tax, property tax, sales tax. For the most part, they aren't labeled for what they _do_ (other than Social Security and Medicare taxes, programs to which cuts are political poison).

If federal taxes were broken down to, say, defense taxes, infrastructure taxes, health taxes, administrative taxes, and people saw how much of what they pay goes into each fund, it would be much closer to what you describe.

For instance, people would be more aware that twice as much of the tax-derived budget goes into defense and international security than to safety net programs.

And people might also be more wary of actions that grow the federal debt — both spending and high-income-earning tax cuts — if they saw that more of their tax money goes to paying off its interest than toward funding infrastructure, education, and science and medical research combined.

Instead, that information is buried in federal reports and reported with the perception of being policy wonkery. It doesn't have a personal impact. Seeing what you remit to the government broken down by what it's spent on would drive it home much as having Social Security and Medicare as line-items on paystubs does.
Pay in the UK is awful for a lot of middle-earning jobs like ours.

The US and Australia pay far more. I basically had to go contract when I got back here so that I could match the money.

California was added to the united states by conquest. it was sceded to us after the Mexican American war in 1848, which was when the gold rush started. it became a state 2 years later, just long enough for the political process to work itself out.

the author of this post seems to be ignoring the fact that California was already a fairly well developed area with a history of native, Spanish, Mexican, Russian, and American influence in the area. he's right the gold rush helped it to develop, but it was already occuring before the us stepped in.
For one thing, it's hard to imagine an amount of money that would be simultaneously large enough to entice an Apple engineer to risk his job and reputation, but small enough to not trigger questions about where it came from. You'd have to concoct elaborate schemes that convince the IRS to look the other way, or target someone who could be blackmailed without fear that they'll run immediately to the authorities or their boss. Not anywhere near as easy or safe as handing over a bag of cash.

If I were the NSA, a strategy with much lower variance would be to hire a lot of smart folks to do the intense security reviews and testing that Apple (and many other companies, presumably) fail to do, and try to find bugs before they're patched. As tptacek has pointed out, there are plenty of these, and an organization with the resources of the NSA can probably find them frequently enough for most purposes without sticking its neck out.
While I love Vim and agree that it's probably the most extensible editor available, trying to explain its idiosyncrasies to a new user could take quite a while. Trying to explain why you can't just grab your mouse, highlight a line, and cut it and paste it somewhere else in the document would probably lose a person. "Hey, you're going to want to find the text, go into visual mode, select it, hit :m38 to move it to line 38... "
Yeesh. It's a little silly to extrapolate from the headline-grabbing efforts of a single senator to a shadowy, evil-intentioned plot by the entirety of the government to Steal Your Freedom.
> We're lucky not to be those people, but to me "luxury" implies either greed or wastefulness - that as software developers we're getting some kind of unreasonably good deal from the world.

I don't agree with that definition of "luxury", and I think there are many others who also do not. Luxury is about comfort and choice, not greed and wastefulness.
I mean spending $2k/month on everything, not living on a $2k gross salary. Plenty of people in less-well-compensated industries do that, though— it just means more compromises in terms of living arrangement or commute or neighborhood safety or ...

You can even own a modest apartment on that salary:

You've got a system with lots of exceptions and special behaviour. I don't see that as easier for humans at all. (The machine doesn't care; it parses anything you can put in rules. But the more complex the rules are, the harder it is for you to understand the error message. XML is really easier on humans.)
That is very interesting feedback.

Perhaps that definition of job is too narrow.

While there hasn't always been currency trading hands for goods and services on a regular schedule there have always been people creating value for themselves, their family, their community and, ultimately, the world. Trading currency is just a convenient way to trade on that value. I have no doubt that we can figure out a way to continue to create value and reward those involved.
I think time savings is the wrong way to think about this. I also don't think people are in the habit of ordering things as soon as they need them. I suspect the item goes onto a list (physical or not), which then has to be processed.

With this system instead of adding an item to your list to process later it's processed immediately.
I worked at one place that was a basket case and finally started to push back. The HR person seemed shocked that I was concerned with the business value of a project, but i had people telling me i wasnt worth what i was being paid -- I could show the next assignment had $0 in business value so if i spent more than 0 hours on it I'd just be digging myself a hole.
Short answer is no, I don't trust Rpi for vital tasks.

Long answer :
In this project, Raspberry is used to display curves and set some parameters. The core (ventilator algorithm) is implemented on the STM32F411, there is just a serial link in-between.

The STM32 also monitor the Raspberry... If there is no heartbeat on the serial link, the STM32 shuts down the power supply of the raspberry, and ventilation goes on.

The fact is that it never happens yet during our tests (4 months uptime now for some devices). The ArchLinux is restricted to the bare minimum, and the Rust app do not overheat the CPU. Is it by chance, or not ? Before any MTBF conclusion, you need thousands of units running during months...

On another project of medical datalogger, I also put a little arduino as hardware watchdog. If no heartbeat of the main application, it just resets the Rpi.

I also use industrial SD card, which are far more reliable and provide SMART informations. See another article on this subject: https://blog.senx.io/a-10-year-warranty-thanks-to-iot/
This is working for me. I am already using Matrix and now my parents are ready to switch to Matrix (with Element). Thank you Facebook.
Are you referring to companies like MindMed? If so, I'm not sure what would increase with them directly. They are medically oriented, so it's not supposed to be recreational and has stricter requirements than medical marijuana - it's to be used under medical supervision/guidance.

I would think we would be most likely to see a decrease in drug companies that currently provide antidepressants if psilocybin works as well as the evidence suggests so far.

That said, we could see indirect increases in specific sectors based on the mindset changes that people might experience. So people might feel more like living in the moment and travel more or do other recreational things.
There's the world of DeFi (decentralized finance). Probably not what you had in mind, but it's people doing all sort of things to leverage their crypto to make more money, all within the crypto system.

To my mind it's a house of cards, and I'm generally very pro-crypto. But it's out there and billions of dollars are moving through it.

The issue is that it gives Signal a lot of control. Don't like some new or existing behaviour of the client? With Matrix you can just use an alternative client. And there is a growing ecosystem of them. With Signal you have to use it whether you want to or not.
Eh, it's not like "the nerds" can build a better product in terms of UX anyway, and definitely can't market it better.

Besides, who says "the nerds" are trustworthy anyway? They keep arguing among each other about which operating system or programming language is best, and why should we take their advice when software security vulnerabilities keep being discovered?

Not disagreeing with your point - it's become too easy to just randomly click "agree" on any TOS and trade away your privacy/security for convenience - but don't make it an "us vs them" type of thing. To me, this is purely corporate interest being prioritized ahead of public needs because most politicians either have no spine or answer to lobbyists more than the common person.
Not showing you ads in 1:1 chat or in groups the maintainer has chose not to enable them in is different from, "I have your data ready to go for targeted advertisement".

This is essentially the Google model. Your search queries and browsing history (and Android and Chrome) are essential to targeted ads shown on every website "the webmasters choose to enable them on".

I think MySpace is a great study. It's obviously terribly, horrifically designed... but it was at one time one of the most popular sites on the web. Not because it was pixel perfect, but because the social mechanics were designed very well.

Now look at Facebook. It's better designed from a visual and usability standpoint, and I think that gave them a little bit of an edge. But again, what really seems to have driven Facebook's growth is incredibly well designed social mechanics. Photo tagging is huge, for example. The News Feed is a huge engine for growth.

So, I think the answer is that it depends what you mean by "site design". A clean visual design, or even good usability may not be as important as a clean social design, or a clean API design.

As a designer you need to understand what are the key bottlenecks in meeting your goals, and design the heck out those.

Once you're Apple and you have a bajillion dollars, you can afford to polish the insides of your battery cases. But as a startup, you only get a few chances, and you have to spend your design effort where it really counts.
That went over my head. By 'native client,' are you making a reference to the fact that the push to make all of our apps run on a server is a swing of the pendulum back to the 'mainframe' days and that some day people will be expounding the virtues of writing software to run on the client as the 'new thing?' Or is 'native client' a reference to some new browser technology that I'm unaware of (which is possible)?
Pingbacks. Same spam potential but POSTs rather than XML-RPC.
NVIDIA reps at my place of work have no trouble getting us A100s. Maybe this is too cynical but I think they learned their lesson after the Pascal generation was released - everybody bought the GTX series because performance/$ was way above what Tesla offered, even if Teslas were within budgets. This time around they can actually price segment for enterprise customers!
Incentives seem to have huge explanatory value wherever you look, don’t they. I’d like to add a classic Warren Buffet quote into the mix: “Show me the incentive and I'll show you the outcome.”

Does anyone have any views on what constitutes canonical reading on incentives? Some of the classic game theory works? Would love to hear opinions on this.
And who will do necessary work for the government, to keep the societies that make the FAANG profits possible running? Having a bit of a private/public pay gap is understandable, but when it gets to the current 2-5x it gets a bit much.
It's not the price that necessarily matters but the market share, which is often represented in the price. A company like Facebook (a large social media corporation) buying WhatsApp (a large messaging app) creates an even bigger company in terms of influence on the market. Apple might be buying companies for their tech, but their acquisitions don't just automatically increase their influence or market share through consolidation.

For example, I would be a lot less worried about Exxon buying small petroleum tech startups that don't own any oil fields than I would be about Exxon buying Shell, a major competitor in terms of market share.
This is amazing

But please implement a section for ALERTS!

I want to make them configurable so eg whenever any stock goes up by more than its normal amount for the past week/month/configurable, I want to get an alert so I can buy call options, or put options for two months from now. Those usually jump 20,000%!
Then, by your logic, they don’t exist since they got caught on tape.
Is this sort of thing unusual or unexpected?
Its funny to hear doordash ads about supporting local businesses, when they're completely invested in turning them inside out.

A quick look at the doordash careers page shows they're targeting a future of hikikomori that order from restaurants they've never been to and buy from convenience stores that don't actually allow customers in.

This so much. Even if you hate uefi with the fire of a thousand suns, there are some good things there. Like GPT, and the UEFI capsule thing that fwupd uses.
Talk about a perfect storm. Earthquake, fire, then when you thought it was finally over...the largest tsunami in history. That probably helped with the fire, at least.
Shamelessly posting an old project of mine:

The build server has been dead for years, so you'll have to compile it yourself. If anyone's TI calculator is gathering dust in your closet, you might find this to be a fun hack to play with :)
Obscurity can be a useful technique for defense in depth, or even just reducing the noise of drive-by attacks to make it easier to identify the “real” ones. For example, putting SSH on a non-standard port.

But encrypting metadata isn’t “obscurity” at all. It’s strongly protecting sensitive personal information. And it’s table-stakes for a password manager.

“Obscurity” refers to obfuscating data in a way that’s easily reversible by knowing a trick or method. Like the FortiNet XOR with a static key.

“Secured by a high entropy secret and a trusted algorithm” is not obscurity, unless, for example, the key is packaged with the data it is meant to protect in a cute way.
Do we / did we even have the tech co be able to build this in a lab? I don't think we do.

A random virus, no. This one, we do.

We can't build a virus from scratch. But we can combine pieces of different viruses to build a new one. The same thing also happens naturally when an animal is sick with 2 viruses at once. If both get into the same cell, you get various mixes created and sometimes a mixture will turn out to be a better virus than either parent.

This virus looks like a combination of apparently unrelated viruses. See https://theconversation.com/coronavirus-origins-genome-analy... for confirmation. That happens to be something that can happen either naturally or artificially.

Where conspiracy theorists get going is that a few years ago there were papers from the lab near Wuhan suggesting that a combination much like COVID-19's actual combination should be particularly effective in humans. So this looks like an extension of a known line of research from a lab involved in military work. Combine that with the local coverup and you can see how people go down the rabbit hole.
Agreed.

Government is just people trying to do triage, discern signal from noise, coordination, move the ball forward... with a bunch of other people.

People expect too much. It's amazing anything works at all. We should all marvel at the progress we've somehow achieved thus far.

While striving too do better, of course.
Noam Chomsky covered this problem extensively in Understanding Power. You will do well to read it in whole, but here's a few helpful hints:

- All papers are biased in favor of their stake holders.

- Some are better at hiding it.

- Business sections are obfuscated with business-speak, but are way more factual because business people expect to be able to make business decisions.

- The best cross-section of news is a selection of newspapers with stakeholders who are not aligned or even clearly at odds.

- Papers from different countries often have different stakeholders.

- Having friends in the middle of the action is a great source of facts. Only works well if you have lots of such friends (e.g. if your name is Noam Chomsky).
> How long do people expect a short squeeze to last?

I don't think anything in my comment implied the short squeeze hasn't already ended. I said it was cut short, not that it's still going.
> I would say it is not uncommon for his articles to build from first principles, but also not uncommon for them to be based on due diligence.

Thanks. With that in mind-- and with a proud and explicit rejection of the idiotic repostings of the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect here on HN-- I'll do my due diligence and read some of the other postings, too.

As far as this article I stumbled upon wrt metoo-- I think it stands as a good example of how not to write an even-handed analysis for a general audience. Relying on a thought experiment without mentioning that there's an extant well-known case leads the astute reader to believe the author hasn't devoted adequate study to the subject.
Because we as a society have generally reached a consensus that premediated killing of human beings is one of the worst crimes possible.

The fact that it is regarded by some as an acceptable punitive measure carried out by the state, whereas other, lesser crimes against human beings are deemed "off limits" for such purposes, seems to me to expose an inherent contradiction. To avoid the contradiction, either both should be acceptable, or neither.

Presently there seems to be a slight majority consensus on Earth that the correct answer is "neither", with the overall trend suggesting that the rest of the planet will get there in another couple hundred years.
