> Peleg said that, from what he sees and hears in the hospital, the instructions are not to offer access to artificial respiratory machines to patients over 60 as such machines are limited in number.

In other words Peleg merely surmises what's going on, and has not received an order directly.

I get that this is a rapidly-evolving situation, but this kind of claim should be corroborated by the reporter.
> I totally understand that, collectively, we need to be lied to for our own protection, because collectively we become a bunch of idiots.

This is a tall order in the modern informational environment. There are enough honest people out there that the truth will filter out, first to people who think critically and then as a meme to be swallowed uncritically by the masses. Then you just end up further damaging the credibility of official sources at a time when their credibility is important.
If it's true that people have a bias toward taller people, then becoming taller might help someone get those children and close relationships you mention. I have no tattoos, but it seems they can also help build camaraderie in the right setting.
Didn't plan on it.

EDIT: to clarify, YC was never about the money for us.

TSA is great illustration for what American Democracy really is.
Love the idea, shouldn't require logging in (Maybe it doesnt? Wasn't clear from the UI), but it could use a designers touch.

Very early-twitter.
If you want to do some actual high-performance work, I'd look at Java applets. Java runs around 5x faster than the same JS code (V8), and much much faster in browsers like IE. Plus they have real multi-threading.
Iraq was a mess before we invaded. Saddam was brutal. We, apparently, have been less so but not by too much. It's a pretty low standard to have that we just be better than Saddam. We should also keep in mind that in the 80's it was we who supplied Saddam. It was we who turned a blind eye when he was using chemical weapons to gas Kurds.

Our whole involvement with Iraq over the past few decades has been revolting.
Yes. I suspect, if anything develops, we're going to hear about illnesses among the TSA workers standing beside these things.
I fly the right seat in a Bonanza pretty regularly too. A V-tail, no less D-:

You mean your twitter and facebook data?
Yes, we fixed the bugs. I believe everyone was credited.

thanks!
Usually, if the attacker doesn't dump your info or otherwise blatantly advertise themselves, the FBI tells you.
It's also a great contrast to the "open" workspaces that plague the industry today. In those, people don't have a space that feels like their own, someplace quiet to go and think, etc. A fully open space is very oppressive. By granting explicit private spaces, everyone had somewhere to retreat.

Meanwhile, all the "shared ownership" work of actual coding was done in public, in an open space - more open than "open" spaces, even, because no one had a personal space to invade for that work. Terrific design.
> Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit all make use of client-side rendering (and all provide news services)

Oh, come on. You and I both know that those are social media apps which act as news aggregators, and are not themselves sources of textual news articles. jimbo1qaz was clearly talking about the latter.
> How does the author know the gender breakdown of a currency where we can't even figure out who the person behind the bitcoin address is...

A large number of whales holding BTC is known / very public and vocal - as the article itself discusses. You can also do a survey of Bitcoin related conferences. You can look at large datasets like the public list of MtGox debts. At this point you'd need some good supporting data to claim BTC holders and traders are not a male-dominated group.
this would be great. never going to happen though.
Make them as loud as tuned combustion cars and you've got a winner.

(The amount of modified cars making themselves noticed in every street is just ridiculous; if you want to experience a real petrolhead country come to Australia, you won't be disappointed).
I've checked your profile and saw you are living in Germany, I am living in The Netherlands and buying in Amsterdam. I do not know if it is different in Germany so I cannot say too much about that. However, regardless of what the situation is, in the end the landlord will have to come out ahead when you are paying rent. Only by that definition it should save you money in the long run when buying your own place.

The only argument that can be made is that the money you do not spend on your own house is money that could be put into a different investment like the stock market. But in NL renting a place is roughly as expensive as my monthly mortgage payments. So both situations it is money I cannot put in the stock market. Insurance and heating is being added on top of those monthly payments regardless of the option you pick.
I left the RasPi behind for a 2nd hand Lenovo m93p tiny for about $100. (An alternative HW would be the Dell Optiplex 9020 micro).
You can upgrade the RAM on these and they use standard SSDs.

I'm booting the Proxmox VM environment and it's currently running a VM and a LXC container, with lots of future opportunities.

Proxmox allows you to reserve a vm's access to the USB ports, which comes in handy if you want to attach a Zigbee stick to a virtualized home automation server.
As I mentioned on the reddit thread, Apple believes so much in C's safety, that they have a custom safe C dialect for iBoot.

https://support.apple.com/guide/security/memory-safe-iboot-i...

We won't get rid of C that easily, given the amount of systems that depend on it and won't be rewritten, which is exactly why besides Apple, also Google, Oracle, ARM, Microsoft are leading efforts to turn modern computers into C machines, with hardware memory tagging to fix at hardware level what WG14 won't fix.
Please just use text and limit yourself to one or two relevant images, so it doesn't take forever to load. Badges may look cool to some people but they are mostly just useless clutter. And if there's a single emoji in there, chances are I'll think it over before using whatever you're developing.
> I don’t know why Raadt then respondend by saying that Zig hasn’t proved that it can do what it claims to do.

I know why. It's because Zig hasn’t proved that it can do what it claims to do.
> telegram is not even encrypted by default

That's technically not true - it's not end-to-end-encrypted by default.

But yes, it is a design choice - telegram puts usability first - see all their innovations with large groups, stickers etc -, even at the expense of some privacy (i.e. no e2e-chats). But that's why you can have Telegram open on every device you own and probably why they are the second largest chat app by now.

Signal, on the other hand, values privacy first, everything else second. This is why this bug is open for 6 months - they see your chat log as a convenience feature and mostly a burden. In addition, Signal is a smaller team with less funding, so that their UI is not as polished is partially also due to lacking manpower, but its simply not a priority for them.
Will you join us? ;)
Wow, I love LetsPocket. It's simple but great. I am kind of jealous I didn't think of something like that.
So we should just store the password in plain text then!! Or we could use the honor system, with no password!!
It also makes no damn sense since Sputnik 1 had zero ability to receive any signal.

Sputnik 1 was a very dumb piece of hardware. It was a proof of concept satellite. All it did was broadcast a radio "ping" that could be tracked.

"forgoing the complex, heavy scientific equipment in favour of a simple radio transmitter." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sputnik_1

This is conspiracy rubbish.
> What has the employee turnover rate been?

At least at MSFT, we were not allowed to answer this question. These rates can also be deceptive at face value, as you really want to know the breakdown between good attrition (fired a poor performer) and bad attrition (somebody they wanted to keep left).

Zero is also not a good answer, as it means that either they never fire anybody -- and you get to work alongside non-performers who make the same money as you -- or they fail to encourage significant enough personal growth that people occasionally outgrow their position faster than the company can make them a new one for them. Both are very, very bad situations. Well, unless you're just trying to cash a check.
Accenture + Symbian = Cobol?
This is an old article. Most issues were already fixed. Many issues, bytheway, were known and simply TODO's.

Wether it is a good idea to publish an alpha with demo that contains many known -TODO- security holes and -issues is another idea. But it is unfair to start calling Diaspora "a failure" or "an amateurish piece of xxx" (not my words, but heard them said after this article) because of not-yet-implemented security features (such as authorisation).

By now, the entire Diaspora is/was rewritten in My/PostgreSQL, most of mentioned issues are already dealt with, or are under contstruction.
Is this explicit somewhere in their terms? Seems like a hard thing to define since people are free to do what they wish with their app revenue.
Dunno, but note that founders often hold board states, and VC has an incentive to make sure they can take some money off the table, else they can make it harder to complete the best deal VC thinks they can get, in the name of holding out for an actual return.
I can't stand it when sites do that (blocking paste) but I don't think that is what's happening here. It's just their placeholder text "Password" that is messing things up. Try long-pressing just on the left of the 'P' of the placeholder. That worked for me after a few tries (on Android).
This does not make sense to me:
var { ScrollView, TouchableHighlight, Text } = React;

The first thing i thought of...its the Delorian. I want one and i want this to succeed
My domain host allows setting up multiple reflectors at my domain, eg

me@mydomain.com
mywife@mydomain.com
mychild@mydomain.com

Each redirects to a different real email account. The idea is that everyone knows us by our mydomain.com address, but reality we can change different mail accounts. Eg, my daughter has one with her university, but in a couple years after graduation, she can use a gmail account but all of the people using mychild@mydomain.com will never know she switched.

As I understand it, if I change my mx record, all of them will go to fastmail, but really I want only me@mydomain.com to go to fastmail.
I'm not sure I understand what "self-rendering" means in this context? You have some javascript that is taking markdown and spitting out HTML, right?

How is that different from any of the existing JS libs? The fact that it is one line of code vs. a couple extra?
I thought this was the car from Moonwalker. Was expecting it to turn into robot Michael Jackson. There's no way this wasn't modeled after that?
There are rumors that Linc Davis is a cover for exactly that.
Then perhaps correct me on what problems Rust is specifically trying to solve? As far as I can tell Rust stands on the shoulders of the LLVM backend- there are existing frontends, like C and C++ but Rust started from scratch.

My question is for what purpose? The problems we face today syntactically relate to intuitively expressing global superword-level parallelism to fully leverage AVX-512. No language is currently sufficient in this regard. Was Rust's syntax designed to maximally inform the autovectorizer in the backend to do this? That would be a worthy goal for this kind of investment. Otherwise it's wheel reinvention to me, and I feel Rust is being pushed really, really hard.
I was going to make a comment about the hood not being soft enough for pedestrians hitting it, but maybe the computer would prevent such a collision.
There are engineers who answer questions there.
This was covered in popular culture most famously by The Wire, written by retired police beat reporter David Simon, it's called "juking the stats", each police district is judged by different crime stats, and promotions are based on those stats, so naturally everything evolves to optimized for better stats. Not only that, on the judicial side in America over the past 50 years, funding has not kept up with the increase in population so there is an extreme pressure on prosecutors to not go to trial, add to this the political nature of the office and American prosecutors are under pressure to keep up their 95% conviction rate, this is done by going hard after those least able to afford an adequate defense and "laddering", adding on every single conceivable charge so that defendants will plead guilty to a smaller number of charges in exchange for some charges being dropped and not inconvenience the state with an expensive trial by jury. This is covered pretty well by season 3 of the Serial podcast.
What's the experience?
I wonder how it sounds ;)
It might not hurt, but as an interviewer I'd be curious to know if you earned those karma points during office hours.
Yes me too. Been thinking about a couple of possible apps for that. Most namely a beat generator that focuses more on the touch part than tracks.
I use "we" when I refer to my target audience and me or when I am speaking for my group. "We" is always plural. I sense a dishonesty when it is used to create groups of people that do not exist, to imply numbers when there is only one.
I wonder if it would be called innovation if we called these 'Products' what they really are. CDO='insurance on loans', Synthetic CDOS = 'making bets on other people's loans' When Las Vegas casinos come up with new ways to gamble is it called innovation?
Bup looks awesome. All the benefits of rsync plus the ability to do incremental backups.

"Even when a backup is incremental, you don't have to worry about restoring the full backup, then each of the incrementals in turn; an incremental backup acts as if it's a full backup, it just takes less disk space"

.... nice!
In the mid-90's I worked for a company that tried conductive ink to create two-sided routings on single-sided CEM-1 circuit boards (cheap). They were trying to save money. Guess what? They didn't. It turns out that recalls and scrap are expensive.

Listen, this isn't the point.

The point is that Facebook should be responsible for protecting their own indexing vectors.

Plain and simple.
Did you really mean three hundreds words? I very proud of having boiled http://www.cawtech.freeserve.co.uk/debt.2.html down to just 320 words. But in http://www.cawtech.freeserve.co.uk/wotter-or-berse.2.html I allow myself 620 words. The mathematical terseness needed to hold the word count below 300 would be self-defeating. Although I'm making a single, simple point, anything under 500 words will fail to prepare the reader to hold still for the pin prick at the end.

Why not 600 words? Doesn't a 300 word cap squeeze so hard that one is forced to respond with gimmicks? Can you link to any successful 300 word essays on-line, I would love to study them and see how the trick is done.
You are correct, right now it's about developers.

I've purchased a Reddit promoted post targeted to /programmers/ that should go live tomorrow. It points to a blog post about the benefits.

Really curios about the results.
Yes. The hard thing is boiling it down to two paragraphs since nobody is going to read more.

Those two paragraphs are key, haven't been able to find the perfect version.
I bought my Mom an iPad over an android tablet telling her that everything will just work. After the iOS 8 update, I am shying away from answering her questions about bugs, and questioning my decision about the iPad. People who are non-tech proficient form the biggest consumer-base for Apple, and it is terrible that Apple is forgetting how it gained this loyal consumer-base in the first place - through reliable software which 'just works'. It only makes more business sense to go back to their original software quality even if it requires dumping regular releases, because they will start losing (probably already have) customers real soon if they don't.
> In the US, is it cheaper to live rurally?

Yes, sort of.

You can find housing much cheaper outside the cities. Some services are cheaper, though not if you are "too rural," so the rest of what I write here will apply more to suburbia and semi-rural areas and not the truly "out there" rural places (where few people live anyway).

There are problems with living outside major cities, though. Work is often harder to come by, and pays less too. Companies justify this by saying the cost of living is lower, but this only makes sense for the fraction of your income you actually spend while living there. If you move out later to a more expensive area, you're in trouble because you were being paid at the "low cost of living" rate all along. On the other hand if you spend everything you earn (or more), having a low cost of living is good.

A second problem is much more acute in the UK than the US: cost of transportation. Gas, cars, and regional trains are somewhat affordable in the US, whereas in the UK they are quite a bit more expensive. National Rail fares have increased faster than inflation in many recent years, resulting in protests just two weeks ago [1]. For example, an annual pass from Tring to London, which takes 1'15", now costs about 6000 USD. That's a significant reason why living way outside London is not that cheap despite the inconvenience.
Yes. How? Where?
This is why I called Bitcoin “naive and antisocial”. I perceive a long-standing willingness on the part of crypto proponents to willfully ignore why monetary policy exists and how it is tied to society’s needs. Self-governance cannot be cast aside in favor of a currency managed by a network of miners remote from the Economic output, debt and other expressions of local social economy. I called it evil and I wasn’t being hyperbolic.
One challenge that I feel like virtual conferences have to overcome is that they currently feel like far more of a distraction than their in-person equivalent. There was at least a social construct of “oh, the dev team is at a conference this week.” Now, it feels like a complete indulgence to spend a day watching conference talk videos.
Does it work with private repos?

I tried github1s with a private repo and it threw an authorization error.
While I agree with you on inflation, I disagree that mainstream (Keynesian) economists are in the right.

I really enjoy working with LXC. And the fact that I can switch now between container mode or VM mode makes it even better. That and best ng able to do lxc in lxc easily to test an infrastructure locally.
Hmm, how do people in finance deal with it? Can they not trade any stocks if they work at a place like Goldman who probably have their hands in everything?

It’s something I thought about recently, so also curious.
I think if you compare based on sign-on offers offered to candidates with comparable experience, rather than compensation with multiple years of differential stock movement factored in, you get an ordering more like:

Snap > Netflix > Pinterest > (Airbnb, Uber, Lyft) > Facebook > Google > Amazon > Apple > Microsoft. Stripe isn't publicly traded, but if we took for granted their RSU valuation without any discount, it'd be up there with Netflix.

Lack of refreshers may knock Netflix down one or two spots, I suppose, but they do have a practice of giving substantial raises for performance, so maybe not.

After all, the interesting thing to a prospective candidate isn't how much money the engineers working at those companies are making now, it's what sort of offer(s) they can expect.

(Also, all cash comp > 50%+ RSU, imo, even if you bake in an implicit growth factor to equity. The volatility should probably carry a significant penalty.)
>They've had 40yr to fix the problem. Still not fixed.

This seems disingenuous to me, as if they're making 2021 Tacomas unchanged since 1980.

There is confirmation of this principle: In virtually every war, there are persistent rumors about how the other side is ruthless and will torture and kill all enemies captured alive, regardless whether it is actually true or not. These rumors have the effect of creating the situation which Sun Tzu describes.
That is a good reason for why they haven't implemented the feature themselves.

It's not even their first migration away from Oracle. I am fairly confident that Google used the horrible Oracle Calendar internally fifteen years ago (at least for travel?), until later GCal was able to replace it. And I remember another finance-related migration ten years ago or so, during the Pichette days. I thought they had gotten rid of Oracle once and for all, maybe it returned through the backdoor — an acquisition.

I cannot help but note that the documentation appears to be obsolete relative to the normal production deployed version of Chrome (on windows).

Chrome Developer Tools no longer has a 'Network' icon / function and the 'Storage' icon / function is not documented.

I believe Network was subsumed into Resources recently.

Personally, I have found the excellent CDT to be essentially self-documenting.
