This is amongst a study of 600k Israelis, which is about 6% of the population. I believe their deal was that the entire population would be supplied the vaccine in exchange for their medical data, which is why Israel far ahead of most of the world in vaccination rate. But its still only 70% done if my googled source isn't way off. So still too early to see large scale effects.
What's "politics" anyway? I think we need to be very careful here. Economic problems can be caused by nasty politics and vice versa. It can be very easy to fall into the trap of saying "well, that's just how economics work, sorry!" while ignoring the underlying political causes of why entire groups of people found themselves barely able to feed their families.

At the same time, politics are an unavoidable fact of life for a lot of people. It's hardly fair to tell somebody to just get away from political topics when it's their rights and liberties being debated on C-SPAN.
I saw an article that the ICU no longer has elderly folks - they were prioritized for the vaccine.

It's now younger people in the ICU: the vaccine started going out as the more contagious (and harmful) British variant started spreading in Israel.

From this article:

>Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science, who have been tabulating national data, said on Sunday that a sharp decline in hospitalisation and serious illness identified earlier among the first age group to be vaccinated - aged 60 or older - was seen for the first time in those aged 55 and older.

>Hospitalisations and serious illness were still rising in younger groups who began vaccinations weeks later.
Issue a proper HTTPS certificate for each DVR. Do it with the DNS validation method, so the DVR company can set up the necessary DNS TXT records to obtain the certificate, and then the device can retrieve that certificate and use it.

Set the DNS A record to either be a publicly routable IP (if UPnP has worked) or to a local IP (if It didn't).

Sure, an internet connection is required. But most users have that. Now all users get HTTPS with no custom setup required.

All users can now connect to https://bobsdvr.dvrcompany.com/ from inside their wifi and see their DVR. If UPnP or port forwarding has worked, they can visit https://bobsdvr.dvrcompany.com:1234/ from outside and it works too.

If all this is too much complexity for the users, you can still run a proxy server for the low volume traffic (status pages, etc.), and use the above method behind the scenes for the expensive video feeds. This has the benefit you can show a proper "Your DVR is offline" message rather than a generic error page.

Might as well get them on this after they have control of the internet. Could make some cash.
60 minutes seems to do fairly well. I'd classify it as John Oliver-esque without the comedy.
Doesn't this -somewhat- mitigate the advantage of having zero-surface area?

I'm using a Bastion setup, so don't get me wrong, just want to understand how strong the pros are for the VPN route.

On your last note. I just run one Bastion as a general rule. They're quick enough to spin up another instance (in a different AZ if necessary). Generally our services won't die if the Bastion or NAT is down.
I think it's because finding the funny in even the worst news is an important part of being human. It's an important feature in our ability to cope and deal with things.

Maybe it's evolutionary? The people who when presented with a problem were able to keep their spirits up while tackling it perhaps had a better success rate then those who lost perspective on their responsibilities to their own emotional wellbeing.
Every OS? I look forward to seeing Blackberry's apps on IOS. Note, that is 'IOS', the cisco OS, not Apple's 'iOS'. :)

In any case, the concept of 'net neutrality', when applied to code, is 'open source'. It's not 'you must do free work for me', but 'here is the code without favouring anyone'.

Of course, this is just a publicity stunt to get people talking about BB.
Nothing you said is relevant in a free country. No one mandates software, it's called make your own.
Some of those essays are good enough that they're worth resubmitting every year or so, both for people who haven't read them yet, and to see what new points come out in the discussion.
Looks like they forgot to include a way to delete a profile.
Interesting article. As I read it, I supposed that the conclusion would be that the iOS ecosystem would be Apple's disruptive advantage in the set-top box market.

Instead, he concludes that Apple might make a disruptive television. It's interesting - displays are already vital to their other products so it's not a big stretch.
Oh I agree with you, C# is definitely a nice language as well.
if you want to read a nice example of inform7 code, emily short's "computers" is wonderfully readable. also as a self-contained piece of code implementing a single object, it's easier to grasp than a full game would be.

Perhaps Geometric Algebra is a big piece of that in the works?

Re Scheme as notation (or APL/ J many years ago) -- when I hear a programming language proposed as a replacement for math, I always wonder "how does that make proving theorems easier?" I haven't read Sussman's book, and he is way smart, but I have listened to lots of APL weanies say "Really, it's just like math" but ... no, it isn't...

EDIT: I just glanced at the first part of Sussman's book on Classical Mechanics, and it looked like Lagrangian mathematics to me, no new notation in the first few sections.

I'm not against paying money to avoid doing things you hate or something you enjoy more. I just often hear something to the effect of, "My salary is more money / hour than I'm paying for the service, so it's a good for me financially." If you're not paid hourly, that's probably not true.

I'm paying an accountant to do my taxes, not because I can't do them; but because I don't want to. I mow my own lawn, because I don't mind doing it. I pay someone to clean my house once a week, not because I think it makes me better off financially, but rather because it is no fun; I would rather do something else (e.g., engage in some kind of home improvement).

Best tips, everything makes sense logically. Would be more interesting to crunch the data and see if everything plays out as described.
They're providing security fixes and support for a long time, but every indication is that there will be no further feature upgrades, which for all intents and purposes means that it is dead in the water other than for very limited uses like DRM'd video playback.

Yes, meat and dairy are the new Big Oil. In fact, they spend a bigger relative portion of their income for lobyying than Big Oil: https://insideclimatenews.org/news/02042021/meat-dairy-lobby...
Fish raised in a fish farm is reasonably sustainable, especially those raised in lakes.
Morality is relative; please don't inflict yours on others. Animal consumption can be made sustainable. The main offenders are beef, lamb, and mutton, and their associated dairy[1]. Cutting just those out would put us back in the ballpark of responsible agriculture. Between pork, poultry, fish & other aquatics, and insects, there's room for sustainable meat farming.

> I can live without the fingerprint reader.

Semi on topic: I don't have one either but I would really like to, simply because then I could have a stronger account password.

Having to frequently use sudo restricts the length/complexity of the password since a longer one would simply be a pain in the ass to use. With a fingerprint reader this problem wouldn't exist.
You did not cite the bytimes?
Quite so, and you'd be right to. But Prince Philip also came out with some decent quotes - some arguably typical British humour and some others just his thoughts:

- I would like to go to Russia very much — although the bastards murdered half my family.

- Dontopedalogy is the science of opening your mouth and putting your foot in it, which I've practised for many years.

- You're just a silly little Whitehall [civil service] twit: you don't trust me and I don't trust you.

- I don't care what kind it is, just get me a beer.

- So you are the people tearing down the Brazilian rainforest and breeding cattle. [This was when he was a figurehead for the WWF.]

- Anyone who is concerned about his dignity would be well advised to keep away from horses.

Anyhow, it is a shame to lose an entertaining tradition. Also a shame to lose someone with such character from the royal family. Only Princess Anne has the same outspoken, blunt manner and a penchant for the odd swearword.

Seems like the monarchy cannot win either way to rectify their errors with British colonialism.

"epidemiologists which calls for more time in taking decisions?"

Sweden. And even your article implies that 1/3 of all epidemiologist do not agree with immediate total vaccination.

"When I hear that 30% of the population in the US prefers not to, I start to doubt about the liberty of having that decision."

Why? According to the science the covid vaccine only really protects the vaccinated since you can still be a carrier and still have a chance to infect other people. That's why they tell you to continue wearing a mask and socially distancing. The vaccine effectiveness is only measured in preventing serious symptoms, not preventing infection. Not to mention, this isn't a highly deadly disease. People in my age group are twice as likely to be murdered as they are to die from covid.

"Thanks for the personal attack."

You started it.

"All true, but all that is not at all the cases we are talking about. Neither the diseases discussed in the court ruling, nor the covid pandemic."

Tdap is part of the ones in the article and fits this paradigm. It's also the case for covid as there are non-human vectors of infection.

Love getting the jump on this. It's especially important now that companies tell us about their process so that we can compare and expedite, including how many:

- technical phone screens

- video interviews

- projects (esp. length and duration, paid/unpaid, etc)

- portfolio / code reviews on past projects

- onsite interviews and if there's any whiteboarding or pairing, etc. [note: please tell us if these are virtual now]

As well as the total amount of time you expect interviewing to take! Thanks :)

> Why not use new cash to massively scale up healthcare resources and prevent such crises?

This should be the job of the federal government, not private investors. At other times we've had better support for these functions of government; the current administration in the US is not so friendly to such silly things as disaster management agencies.
I'd argue that the problem with this analogy is that a bird flying overhead is something we know is possible and indeed common. According to all scientific knowledge and evidence, resurrection is not possible. So absent significant evidence, it's not logical to believe that this happened. We also know that religion has historically provided numerous benefits to societies, allowing for trust, cooperation, and trade in societies that predate effective government. So it is logical to assume that such belief systems would develop, and that societies that developed them would prevail over those that didn't, even in the absence of supernatural evidence.

Given that religion contradicts what we know about the physical world, and that its existence is explained without reliance on the supernatural, it's not logical to believe its supernatural claims.
Why are you thanking me?
I had that same problem. Apparently, everything is fine now.

I tried deleting cookies, and then I entered fine to HN. However, If I tried to login, no response again.

Then, I used links (CLI browser) to troubleshoot, and the problem was there when I tried to login. So, no idea what has happened, but something was wrong at the server side.
Jobs seems to much prefer the idea of a smaller number of really really classy apps.

Agreed. A killer app would cause many more people to want to buy the iPad. It would transform the iPad from a want to a need.

From the post:

But as platforms mature, Killer apps from third party companies pose more risk.

Is this really thought out? Does the Killer App transform the hardware into a commodity device for running the app? Is there some fundamental law saying Photoshop had to rule over all image editing? I don't think so. It's not Killer Apps that are dangerous. It's 3rd party monopolies on vital parts of the ecosystem! If Photoshop had better competition so it did not become a de-facto standard Adobe would not have been a threat. If Internet Explorer and Microsoft Office hadn't totally dominated their market niches, then those applications wouldn't have been a threat to Mac and OS X either. The Metroworks IDE has already been mentioned on this site as well.

I don't think Apple wants to eliminate killer apps or good apps. I do think that they want to ensure there is viable competition. It's not a killer app on their turf that Apple fears. It's someone else's monopoly!
The issues of language interpretation are only indirectly related to the core argument here. I think the core argument is that Apple is staying fuzzy in the rules so they can strangle any budding "killer app" in its teenage years, when the trajectory has become clear but it is not yet "THE REASON TO OWN AN iPHONE!".

Apple is afraid of becoming a client to the killer app owner. Microsoft was afraid of the some thing, which is the root reason behind "DOS isn't done until Lotus doesn't run."

You can't prove there won't be a killer app. Network effects mean something could come from the blue. It doesn't even have to be new, just something that already existed but is incrementally better enough to harness the network effects.
Having grown in Eastern Europe (I was a freshman in college when the wave of revolutions swept over that part of the world), I'm not quite comfortable with that approach. Sure, you can topple the regime, Iraq-style. But there will be many civilian casualties. Make no mistake, there will be casualties no matter what, but a brute force intervention can potentially be much more disastrous than a change coming from inside (revolution).

I'm not sure just how deeply indoctrinated those people are. Is an uprising still possible? (my guess is yes) If so, a surgical-precision hit targeting "Dear Leader" might be enough to provide the initial spark. I'm sure this option is being considered somewhere, somehow. Whether it's deemed worth giving it a try, and whether it's successful remains to be seen.
I don't know what was wrong, but restarting news seems to have fixed it. Whatever it was may have only affected logged in users, which may be why our auto-restarter didn't notice anything was wrong.

I'm a developer on a fairly high profile Android app. We target Android 1.5 (the oldest version with significant market share), and we've had very few problems with fragmentation. Our app works just as well on a G1 as it does on a Nexus or EVO with Sense. If you use the SDK right it's fairly effortless. With a little runtime checking, you can even add support for new features in new OS versions while remaining compatible with 1.5 (unit tests help a lot for this).

If it works on the G1, it'll work pretty well on other devices if you're careful about the assumptions you make. Honestly, the hardest part has been producing separate assets of all our images for different resolutions.

Granted, we're not doing anything with OpenGL, my understanding is that gets much more complicated.
A marriage is an excellent metaphor for a startup. But as the startup scales, the metaphor changes - I think the pro sports team metaphor is a good one (if clichéd).

If you accept that, then seeing a founder leave or be shown the door is like accepting there may be an original player who was good enough (or even excellent) in "C division" won't cut it if the team advances. The team manager has a responsibility to help a player improve if possible, but she has a greater responsibility to create the best team possible.

My 9th-grade daughter so far prefers this remote learning, as it makes efficient use of her time, and so gives her a lot more free time. At school, lots of kids don't want to focus (this is in the middle of Silicon Valley and helicopter parents), and slow down the class. Now she is away from that stress, and is a lot happier, despite her being an extrovert.

Repl.it (YC W18) | Engineers | SF or REMOTE | https://repl.it/jobs

Repl.it is the first massively open computing platform where anyone, even without even needing an account, can hop on and in seconds start executing code, build and host applications and websites, and collaborate with other people.

Providing a service like this is challenging from all a scaling, security, and billing perspectives. Also, supporting the number of languages we do (https://repl.it/languages) is a hard tooling problem -- we have to build generic protocols for executing, debugging, authoring code, running tests, handling files, etc. Finally, it's an incredibly challenging frontend/design problem to build a fast collaborative in-browser IDE that's both powerful and simple.

It's a great time to be joining us, we're still 8 full-time people, we reach millions of coders a month, and we're backed by YC and a16z.

Maybe? Planes only have about a quarter of their max weight available for passengers the rest is the plane itself and the fuel so I'm not sure how much you'd save by running light.

Maybe flying slower would be a way to make cargo flights more efficient but planes are pretty tuned to their cruising speed so maybe even that wouldn't have a big effect.
