Most people don't care about things like this at all. Look at how many of them happily use Facebook. If Apple put in a warning screen that said, "Angry Birds is requesting the following information: your location, your contact list, and your phone number. Is that ok?", then I would bet at least 90% of the users would just click "sure, no problem".

We are losing this battle because very few people care about privacy any more.

From my experience working with global teams, as soon as you have Asia & EMEA, you need to go to two meetings if you actually want to retain said staff.

This is annoying, but it's much better than people taking meetings at midnight, which is what happens otherwise.
It could be a problem for the employer as well, if it results in having a bunch of employees doing minimum effort.

Use a better ORM.

All ORM's are not equal. It is a broad class of frameworks designed for different purposes and with different trade-offs. My favorite is EF Core which allow you to select exactly the fields you want or do the equivalent to "select *". I'm sure there other ORM's which support the same.
That is true, it might be the end of the sustainability of overpopulated cities ...
Because devs don't tend to have PPE degrees from Oxford, and as such, are merely peons. \s

Seriously, it's super weird and I don't understand it either.
Just throwing the same numbers in here: The EU ordered 4+ doses per inhabitant by Q4 2020. Deliveries were intially scheduled through Q3 2021, with enough doses to be delivered to reach herd immnity by end of Q2. Not sure how ordering even more, without knowing when said doses would have been available, had helped.

EU politician really screwed up in summer 2020, so. They had, besides ordering (which was outsourced to the EU anyway), one job. Planning and setting up operations to vaccinate millions of people in the first 6 months of 2021. That would have included coordination between patient appointments, manufcturing and deliveries (invlving the EU ideally), making sure back-up plans are in place, getting processes up and running to make it as easy as possible to get vaccinated, making sure manufacturers can get necessary support in securing their upstream supply chains when needed and so on.

None of that happened. Instead, everyone was so, so happy that Europe had a great summer vacation. And then everyone so so hoped the unsurprising increase in cases starting in October would be just go away. And then everybody so so hoped they could safe Christmas shopping and christmas markets, And then everybody fell back to the only lesson they learned during the first wave: people like politicians that act tough. They just din't realise that back then acting tough, read lockdowns, was inline with expert advice. Basically, the EU had over six months to get ready for an EU-wide vaccination campaign. Member states had also 6 months. And did, it seems, by no means enough, if they did anything at all.

This now shows, and everyone is just happy to point at manufacturers and the EU. We'll see how long that story is going to hold water.
We do the same here in the states. Some folks pay for private schools so their kids don't have to be exposed to perceived riff raff, while others choose to live in more expensive neighborhoods where the only benefit is often that there is less riff raff in the public schools.
That's probably not their equipment up on the poles causing that, you can probably fix it for good by replacing some old splitters around your house and just re-terminating all of the coax connectors.
For the uninitiated, is there cultural significance to 123 Maple Street?
The original text is also completely in kana. This confuses AI models that mostly understand normal text with kanji. They don't really "know" that 手に入る and てにはいる are the same thing.

Eg, with DeepL:

ダークエルフなら ほくとうのしまの どうくつに すんでるよ！ => If you're a Dark Elf, you'll find me in the caves of the Far East!

ダークエルフなら北東の島の洞窟に住んでるよ！ => If you're a Dark Elf, you live in a cave on the northeast island!

DeepL also seems to be quite sensitive to the placement of spaces.
Apple gave Parler a 24 hr warning to come up with a moderation plan or they're banned, but it's likely Apple is more or less showboating for their current antitrust and anticompetitive lawsuits. They will probably ban them this weekend too.
CRISPR can edit herpes simplex virus out of cells, so maybe it can do the same for HIV.

Yep, but at the same time if they would have said that it is "more infectious and more deadly" - that would have even more incorrect (without clarification), given that those terms usually refer to specific properties.
Why don't they ban people like https://cdn.cnsnews.com/styles/article_big/s3/2021-01/Arthur...
Subsets of the mob seemed to have much more concrete plans than others. Video footage shows one group chanting "hang Mike Pence!" while pushing into the building, and others specifically searching for Schumer and Pelosi. Photographs show people with zip-tie handcuffs and tasers. Some brought maps of the Congressional offices within the building. Parler threads ahead of the attack discussed likely escape routes members of Congress might use.

Aside from all those frightening cases, it seems clear that there was a broadly shared goal was to "stop the steal" by preventing Congress from making progress in the peaceful transfer of power to the Biden administration. Maybe most of them had few concrete ideas how they'd accomplish that aim once inside the building, but they nonetheless were aiming to overturn an election and block Biden from becoming President - and if successful that absolutely is a coup.
I don't think phone and Internet providers are the same as social networking sites.

Well you could assign an approximate Hz for the brain by looking at how fast a single neuron can fire, around 500Hz [0]. But this is wrong in two ways. While one neuron is "reloading", another could fire, as they operate out of synch. But also, one pulse from one neuron doesn't really convey that much information. It takes more than that to send a message. You could also look at brainwaves or say flicker fusion thresholds, which gives a value in the double digits.

Thanks for sharing @stuntkite @psyc! Sometimes a read (like these posts) come as quite a reality check to someone who comes from family with no big issues and who had it generally quite protected in life. All the best to you and stay strong!
BTW, if you wanted a biased platform, just use Google, its significantly better in every way.

Ultimately what I'm getting at is:
There's no market for DDG. Use Google for biased searches, and use other search engines that are not biased(which excludes DDG) for unbiased searches.

What are the use cases for DDG?
Is it possible that mathematics should be taught dispassionately, without resorting to inflammatory examples? Surely anyone can trivially come up with dozens of questions to use in a statistics problem that wouldn't raise any eyebrows. If so, the fact that someone would choose that specific question should call into question the motivation behind it.

I'm in a similar financial position, but a few years older and having the time of my life.

What works for me:

- I went to great lengths to reduce my computer time, and particularly mindless scrolling. I am also careful with video games and other time killers. These are fast food for the mind.

- I reintroduced idle time. I leave the internet out of the bedroom and enjoy quiet breakfasts on the balcony. This is where ideas take hold.

- I cook, I garden, I fix cars, I build stuff, I draw. Active or participative hobbies are absolutely essential. You gotta mold your world, not merely pass through it like a ghost.

- I explore a lot. I've explored most of my area on a bicycle, and most of Europe on a motorcycle. There's an endless world I've seen none percent of. I never regretted exploring more of it.

- I really sweat the small stuff. I try to make the ordinary things matter, and to appreciate the little rituals. I like fresh flowers, candlelight reading, tea time, sunset beer, bicycle picnics, fancy breakfasts and many other things. These are a good outlet for all your spare time.
They probably have a good idea of what those profiles look like, even if they don't already know you work in healthcare.
Ideally, SSD manufacturers would program their SSD firmware to provide multiple active power states accurately labeled with their maximum power draw, and cameras would select only power states that are within their power delivery constraints. All of this functionality is already defined and standardized. But I'm pretty sure neither side is taking it seriously enough to be relied upon.
Sort of sounds like this is a good tool to pair with things like firecracker? The goal with most of these ( aside security ) is a better ability to (bin?) pack these small "blocks" into a larger "box".

That may very well be the worst headline I've ever seen here on Hacker News, and not just because of the Etsy typo (though that plays a part in it).

You can just as easily dig up ordinary LWRs from that era with that same degree of ridiculous cost overrun -- the kind of LWRs of which are cheap today and exist in the hundreds. It was not so much the particular design, SFR or LWR, but the toxic and obstructionist political climate common to both. Carter banned fuel reprocessing -- the key part of the Clinch River fuel cycle -- while that plant was being built. Wikipedia says that SNR-300 construction was interrupted for 4 years from political outrage at Three Mile Island, and a redesign ordered when it was half built.

>The next generation of reactors in development are only around 15% more efficient than the best extant facilities.

I'm not sure what figure you're referring to, but breeder reactors with full reprocessing are 200 times more efficient than LWRs.
Not to mention rowing, cycling, biathlon, triathlon, sailing, equestrian, mountaineering, etc. I don't know the exact numbers offhand, but it seems like the vast majority of elite athletes come from wealthy families and go through colleges like Yale and Stanford. The only sports that have even nominal representation from low-SES backgrounds are made-for-TV sports, but if you look at the overall picture it's not nearly as egalitarian.
Its hard to define exactly, but the all of the images don't look polished. It all lacks a certain crispness. The logo has visible jaggies, for example.

You're using a font BebasNeueRegular that doesn't look crisp either. (I see its being loaded with @font-face). Just switching that to Arial (your fallback) in webkit inspector made everything look a lot better.

Simplify your DOCTYPE to just <!DOCTYPE html>.

Your google analytics script needs to be at the footer of the page. Use the asyncronous loading script they provide.

Your background_texture.png and header_texture.png are over 500k combined. Seriously, you need to get these to be no more than 10-20k at most.

Minify your css.

I love jQuery, but you're loading an entire js library to run 10 lines of javascript in global.js. And forget the assumptive argument people make about "oh its on a cdn so its cached in the browser...". Its likely not cached in peoples' browsers. Unless you plan on adding a lot of more functionality to this page, consider re-writing your js to not use any libraries. (Can't believe I'm actually saying that!)

The "GIFT YOUR FRIENDS" and "REWARD TOGETHER" images are cut off at the bottom in Chrome.

Your buttons on the top-right of the page should have "cursor:pointer" in them since they are clickable links. Further, they are links so you should look into your css and see why the default pointer behavior is being overridden to begin with.

Sorry that this is just a list of technical things I'm laying out. I'll leave the "does this color scheme make me feel warm and fuzzy" stuff to people who have more of an eye for that.
Well, I said "Why not VB6?" because I don't know much about it. But I'm pretty sure about Basic. You presented a list of reasons why JS is superior, and many of those were true of Basic at the time it was popular.

2. You can load Basic programs instantaneously. They're interpreted, and the interpreter came with the operating system or even the computer's hardware. How is JS any more instantaneous? You didn't have to type in a whole Basic program every time you wanted to run one - I'm guessing this is the confusion here.

3. There were no plugins. That's all that claim 3 ever was. I don't know how typing in a program by hand is relevant at any rate. Surely every program has to be typed in by hand, unless you're doing visual programming.

6. I thought this was about Basic itself, which did not take a team of 20 engineers four years to develop. As for applications, at the time it was really simple to program in compared to something like C.

So it comes down to 4, 5, 7. These aren't true of Basic, but they don't necessarily make JS a winner:

4. Basic programs were portable to machines that had interpreters, and there were lots of them. But sure, it probably wasn't as portable as JS, as I don't know if you could run it on a mainframe. C is a very portable language though, and always has been, so why does this mean JS wins?

5. Improvements in accessibility compared to the 80's applies to all technology. How is the disability support in JS better than other languages?

7. Home computers were IN YOUR FUCKING HOUSE! at the time Basic was popular. But non-Basic programs ran on those computers too, just like non-JS programs run on your phone. Miniaturization benefits all languages.
Macs are nice computers and QR codes are an efficient way for a device with a camera to read a bunch of textual information quickly.

But haters gonna hate.
When you are ready to have kids then either your finances have probably improved and you can afford that 2BR or you move farther out to cheaper areas of the city / suburbs.

Or be happy with a life without children as a lot of us are.
There's a difference between tailgating and using one's space though. I'm a Swiss who's driven in France (countryside) and I've always found French driving style quite pleasant. Quick on the outer lane, giving you space on the inner/middle lane. What I mean is: Legal limits usually don't really reflect what's safe with today's cars, so using the space a bit better shouldn't be a problem as long as you're respectful and reasonable.

So yeah, parent raises interesting questions - since autonomous cars will probably have to follow legal limits, what about driving culture? If it were me I'd solve the issue by giving drivers a slider going from the most aggressive yet still safe distance to the legal distance - with legal warnings you have to tap through if you want to change the slider.

Facebook is also making gobs of cash. When Facebook was new its moderation was just as weak as Parler.
It makes sense. The rate is the rate at which new imagery can appear on the screen. It says nothing about how much of that 1/60 seconds it's visible, and it could be all of it. By comparison, on a CRT not even all the pixels are lit up at once, so 60Hz on a CRT is unbearable to me (I could bear 75Hz, but 85 was nicer), while on an LCD I'm okay with 60Hz.
matrix-synapse(server) suffers from performance issues[1], dendrite[2], the replacement should be resolving that but is currently in beta.

Apart from that it integrates fairly well with other networks through bridges.[3]

It can be self hosted and it federates, which is a pro.
Not too sure about audits and security, it has improved much, when I started using it (2019) they didn't have login throttling[4] and shortly after that were breached.[5]
Much has improved since.

Moxie Marlinspike (the guy behind Signal) talked about his rationale for making signal centralized here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nj3YFprqAr8

Its been a year and I'm still not sure if I agree with him - which is the sign of a very juicy talk!
How is this different than the very large and often violent protests that have been taking place around the country in major cities, often in front of legislative areas, yet law enforcement has by and large allowed the property damage and violence to proceed without intervention, precisrly because they do not want to escalate tensions? None of it is good, but we should be consistent in requesting law enforcement to draw down every such violent mob, not just the partisan favorite.
Some myths and conspiracy theories are dangerously close to being believed by the majority of people:

https://www.npr.org/2020/12/30/951095644/even-if-its-bonkers...

so in the end you have to anchor this to some expertise and grounded-in-reality judgement.

For example, the majority in the aforementioned poll believed that COVID-19 was created in a lab in China. And to be honest, an average person really has no way of truly knowing this. They're not virologists or spies. They can only judge based on a gut feeling whether China is/isn't evil, and that is likely based on other things they've heard, which may include rumors, propaganda and Bond movies.

In this case, the app has its own keypad when logging in so I'm not sure what the added value is security-wise.

I'm just not able to launch the app while an F-Droid keyboard is set as default which is just annoying. There's many keyboards on the Play Store that I wouldn't trust to install and use.
The Phalanx has an effective range of just under a mile. Even a subsonic surface-skimming missile could easily cover that distance in around 5 seconds. So it's very much a defense of last resort. Missiles should ideally be intercepted by anti-missile systems with much longer ranges.

If you could only have 5 programmers working at once and a few more on the roster then salaries would work differently.
Oh, you can certainly use your 49% to publish a block or two, or even twelve in a row -- good for you, probability sometimes works like that -- but eventually I will have more blocks mined privately than the rest of the network does publicly, at which point I publish them (with my choice of confirmed transactions) and all your work, the transactions which you chose to confirm, and your mined coins just go down the memory hole.
That's a very good two-piece advice. I would add this:
- The ones that use technologies you enjoy working with.
You can also get much faster secure random numbers.
I love programming, but doing it EVERY day for a year and half sounds like my nightmare.
I don't know my main experience is with the Django ORM. Others have mentioned that some ORMs seem to start from the relational model, and transform those into objects (which sounds like how the Django ORM works to me).

I find this works well. It speeds up development of all the simple stuff , and by the time it gets complicated, you can drop down to SQL.

I don't find the two ways of thinking incompatible, in fact the "extra" method on Djangos ORM is an intermediate where you let the ORM do its normal simple style of mapping, but allows you to add extra clauses to the SQL manually. Once you do this you see how the ORM works, and can choose quite easily when it is appropriate to use it.

You loose a bit of the magic that comes with Django by the time your queries get more complex (like auto generated admin pages), but the benefits outweigh the costs immensely in my case.
His points start out idealistic and abstract, and full of Free Software rhetoric. The list then turns to more concrete and specific objections, whatever their validity may be.

He could just go the non-free software route on this point as well ...

I hate most of these TLDs. All it does is allow more domains to be registered by spammers and scammers. It was enough that a company had to buy a .com, .net, .org and maybe a few country specific domains to protect their name, now we need to register almost a thousand or some scammer will sit on company-name.ninja just because they can?

Biggest money grab scam to date by icann, et el.
This approach would introduce more complexity than it's worth, in addition to being less secure. Instead of just one password that can be used to login to your account, you now have two valid passwords.
