This might be a rare edge case case involving unforseen circumstances. For rare cases like this (presuming that that's true), we probably don't want to set up a whole communication apparatus, since doing so is quite expensive. Instead rely on common-sense ad hoc decision making, just like the doctor in question did.

We just need a small caveat in the rules that only people the doctor doesn't know (either directly or through a mutual acquaintance) are allowed to receive an unplanned shot in this manner, to eliminate the incentive to do it on purpose. As well as some accountability after the fact, depending on the details of the case.

The outcome of this is fairly tragic, I consider this doctor somewhat of a hero and here he is being punished by unthinking bureaucrats. What a shame.
People are still allowed to question a claimed expert's credentials despite the fact it might give that purported expert a sense of Imposter Syndrome.

Even if Zed's test is a bit ridiculous.
Rootless Docker is basically a joke, I've tried to run production workloads on it for about a year before I gave up. Numerous docker images will refuse to work, a bunch of things will subtly fill your error logs with warnings and it doesn't mesh well with running docker swarm at all.
No, the idea of Bitcoin is to have an asset that you can withdraw from the financial system.

This is only possible in our current financial system if you want to take delivery of physical bank notes.
....got me!
I think there is a huge tail risk that Ray Dalio missed about bitcoin.

It's incredibility energy intensive and as the world works towards reducing the our impact on the climate, it's possible energy can get too expensive to operate a bitcoin farm mining farm. Or governments decide that using precious electricity production on hashing blocks is the same as other forms of pollution and regulates it away.
It'll depend on your use case (square footage, majority carpet vs majority hardwoods with some rugs, etc).

But as others have said, Miele is incredible. Sebo is another good one. They'll have specific models for your use case.

Tether is definitely very sketchy in their practices, but there is simply no good evidence that Tether issuance inflates the prices of BTC.

Millions of people don't care for freedom or privacy or many other things. Doesn't mean they are unimportant.
Few years ago asked my mom to send me a few photos from the family christmas - they showed up in my email inserted into a word doc.
It should only be easy to debug and accessible to humans when needed IMO. I really think it should be possible to load a "production message", log event or whatever into a debug parser which only then spits out human readable output.
This does seem like a rehashing, but I think the subtext is - from my perspective anyway - that there’s no clear end in sight to the 737 MAX issue.
I firmly believe that Chrome's day one feature of in-place auto updates was one of the most important milestones in web browser development. The accelerated pace of fractional improvement and implementation of new standards (even in draft form) has been enormously powerful for the web as a whole.

IE is like the hare. It sprints ahead with each massive update, but then sleeps for a year or more, only pushing security fixes via Windows update. Chrome is the Tortoise, forever moving, always making progress.

So, the only tangible benefit you see is "it enriches our understanding as a community regarding language design and program design"? To be clear, when you say, "I think that is a worthwhile enough contribution," are you saying this benefit of enrichment is "worthwhile enough" to warrant learning it?
You would need the key to decrypt somewhere also not in your code.
Well a file is just a special case of an object, one with a single parent (a directory), and a name typically designed to be human readable. One that's particularly limiting metadata. Typically owner, name, and a few time stamps.

So sure people want to download streaming videos. But chances are the result will be put into something that lets them view them by director, title, genre, newest, etc.

Generally it seems more natural and user friendly to have your photos, documents, music, and videos indexed. That way you don't have to remember the name, directory, or even what you computer you used to access it. You just look it up by when you used it last (i.e. I edited it yesteday) or by whatever metadata you remember.

So if a user's main method of access is by index of metadata not available in the filesytem, why even have a file system? A database seems more natural. After all why is /directory/fi lename more important than being able to look based on arbitrary metadata?
Pedantic, but: If you take the fictional parts of the resume and achieve them, thereby making them nonfiction, then your resume isn't "total" (post title) fiction, is it?

This refers to people who chose not to protest on the streets. Not sure what you're taking exception to here.
Exactly -- I love the pearl-clutching tone of these of slippery-slope complaints: "Just you wait, leftists! One day the power of the state shall be visited upon you, and then you'll see! How would you feel if the government censored you, infiltrated your gatherings, and sidelined you from mainstream society? Hmmmmm?"
Once upon a time in Germany there was a special night, it was called "Crystal Night"[1]. It got it's name because of all the glass from the smashed windows lying on the ground. There were some people arguing that it was violence, but some said that those people were either idiotic or arguing in bad faith.

Are you at all worried about the possibility that America could have another civil war because a sufficiently large proportion of Americans are radicalized in uncensored, insufficiently moderated communities? Facebook's own research found “64% of all extremist group joins are due to our recommendation tools” and that most of the activity came from the platform’s “Groups You Should Join” and “Discover” algorithms: “Our recommendation systems grow the problem.” [0]

We just suffered a textbook seditious conspiracy against the United States, which was planned on Parler and thedonald dot win. Is there a chance that Google's decision to remove Parler from their app store will only throttle the spread of Parler? Have you heard of the slippery slope fallacy? [1] And if so, why doesn't the prohibition of apps for child pornography produce the harms you cite?

Ruining a teenager's life because he smiled as someone screamed in his face was pretty deplorable. We could do this all day but his point is that Americans have to grow up and start respecting each other.
> They can't possibly all be violent bigots.

And yet Parlor is being de-platformed specifically because it refuses to police the portion of the conservative conversation that is so. It's not because they believe in smaller government or lower taxes.

Conservatism plays this game where it uses this violent rhetoric casually and then acts all surprised when its own members act on that rhetoric. They tell each other that anyone who disagrees with them is an anti-american who want to make this a communist/socialist/fascist state. That voter fraud is rampant and that they will need to overthrow the government with violence. They do this is, in much more graphic detail than I'm using here.

Then, when something violent occurs, we're all just supposed to sit here and pretend like it's just some happenstance and we shouldn't judge them by their own inaction in stamping out the rhetoric from their midst.

Mint.com is very useful. He wants to use it, but he wants it to use OAuth or similar systems to communicate with banks via an access token and APIs, not stored passwords and screen scraping.

Knowing how backwards even the big banks are, I doubt this'll come for about 50 more years. Nothing Mint can do...

I'm working on a paper about entrepreneurial traits and such mdoells. I'm still not sure if an entrepreneur si risk avers.
Some scholars argue, he likes risks, because he is quiting his job to get an uncertain "payment". Others argue, entrepreneurs don'tlike risks. If they go for an opportunity, they know the risk quite well and soforth have already evaluated the risk and decided, it is doable.
Is their any new thought on this?

i have to agree with the others, I just calculated the value and chose the higher one. Interesting could be the outcome of the last questions where no probability, or intrest rate was given.

Additionally, I think, even if all of us are entrepreneurs (there's still now agreed definition of the term see http://bit.ly/amULry ) we decide different. We decide different, depending on our situation or the environment (see Gartner 1989ab 1989b, 1990) we are in. I'm a student my self, perhaps getting $150 now could get me through the month, but one million in two month isn't. So I would take the 150 bucks.
Serious question: how did this get to #1 on a site titled hacker news? Are we really that cliche?
"I'll probably be voted down for this but .."

Best way to polarize people. When you say that "I might get down-voted", people agreeing with you are forced to up-vote.

but since its a 'current event' - surely the SEO value is very time constrained?

Also, i didnt really mean writing about it, I actually meant DOING it. so in this example - is AOL being dirty by hijacking Facebook's email launch? Do they look bad by trying to launch a few hours before Facebook?
I wonder if this is the same reason why they tell you the conversation may be recorded when you have a phone call with a call center.
"US court rules opening a door violates law" (... if you were ordered not to come onto someone's private property)
Kind of interesting (if not surprising) that the "If you aren't doing anything wrong, you have nothing to hide" line peddled by the NSA's ilk actually seems to work really well when applied to those with authority.
This has as much credence as any of Baldrick's "cunning plans". This could be one of a number of things.

It could just be a media fantasy

It might be a proposal which has made it high enough up the food chain that it is being aired in the media to see what the reaction would be.

It could be "chaff" intended to show that the Government is doing things and to draw attention away from the Guardian/Miranda fuss of recent days.

It is unlikely to be under serious consideration. As I have said here in recent days, despite your collective geekish arrogance, they are cleverer than that and they are clever than you.
I imagine most of the behavior changes are from that, if you know you're being recorded then you're going to act better overall because it's going to be hard to lie later when the film disproves you.
Incidentally, one of the biggest advantages of using an OpenWRT router over a PiHole is the ability to respond to all DNS requests (sent via udp port 53), as opposed to just those that use the DHCP-discovered resolver, which allows you to police devices that use a hardcoded external DNS resolver (e.g. 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1).
> The word is often taken to denote a violent uprising. The Capital protests weren't particularly violent - the protesters didn't kill anyone.

False.

> There's not that much of a parallel. The Capital protesters wanted to show resistance to the election being stolen from what they saw as the legitimate winner. The Civil War was, like, a war, and way different in every way.

It wasn't a war at first. The South Carolina Declaration of Secession was created and printed with significantly less violence than the insurrection at the capitol...the first shots fired didn't happen for another 4 months. The fact that only 5 people died in the insurrection doesn't mean that the would-be confederates didn't attempt an insurrection, it just means they didn't succeed, and couldn't muster up enough traction to last a single day.
i’m hopeful that UWB means that this can be shifted off bluetooth/wi-fi/cellular for security and privacy reasons eventually. then you could have those other wireless networking technologies toggleable independent of the find my functionality.
What was that one explainer that showed how unsettling youtube videos can be?
I think this is it - the only "small businesses" I see being actually hurt (as opposed to slightly inconvenienced) by this would be retargeting and tracking companies.

Probably a bigger deal with EVs that don't have great range. Like a Fiat 500, brand new, is 145km range. 70% of that is 102km.
I remember peacefully eating Subway about 2 blocks away from CHAZ watching bunnies hop around in the grass. I was there for photojournalistic purposes. I had to walk past a Starbucks with broken windows however. Actually being there and experiencing it, media most definitely blew it out of the water for outrage advertising $$. You're very right.

The initial few days of george floyd protests were tense, but almost every large city around the country also was.
It depends on what you're learning. Try to learn to chop veggies and a video is superior to text. Try to learn all the inputs to a function, return values and thrown errors and a video is far inferior to text. The crossover point probably varies from person to person, and my guess is snobbery about videos is based around the personal differences in how a person learns and where what they already know or what they learn is on that spectrum.

There's also a wide (wider than text?) difference in video quality. How many videos out there are badly narrated sources available in text format?
In many cases, that can be a function of cost and not effectiveness.
Yeah it's a legal site from Rakutan. They have an app and everything. Not that having an app always means it's legit, but maybe it's some kind of signal? Anyway I subscribe to it.

Don't know what you mean by "just stream it", but if you do decide to go elsewhere, I can't vouch for the quality of subtitles. The translations on the viki site are good from what I've been told. As compared to some other dramas that are on netflix (The Untamed, for example), which have comparatively poor translations.
Yes, easy reading, as a non-programmer the only thing that lost me was the throw away line in the code comments on "function arguments are call-by-value". I've some recollection that call-by-value and call-by-reference are options here but not entirely clear what the meaning of "call-by-value" is.

It probably doesn't matter though - the Wikipedia reference is ever-so slightly to terse for me to understand the implications thoroughly too, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaluation_strategy#Call_by_val....

Am I right in saying that if I call a function on $2, say, that unless that variable is explicitly assigned in the function that $2 remains unchanged after the function operates. But that with a call-by-reference the value of the variable itself will be altered? Something along those lines.
If you are primarily a web developer who knows nothing about BSD, I don't think you want to choose BSD for security reasons. The underlying OS might be more hardened, but if you don't know the system and applications as well as you know in linux, it's more likely you'll have a configuration error that opens a gaping security hole.

Cool idea! Agreed that the name/URL needs to change, as demonstrated in the title of this original post. I love the simple, clean design/branding, very well done, especially for a weekend's worth of work.
NFC = Need for cognition.
SNS = Social network site.

"The key finding," the authors write, "is that NFC played an important role in SNS use. Specifically, high NFC individuals tended to use SNS less often than low NFC people, suggesting that effortful thinking may be associated with less social networking among young people." Moreover, "high NFC participants were significantly less likely to add new friends to their SNS accounts than low or medium NFC individuals."

Seriously? Correlation, Causation etc? Nothing to do with intelligence or the need for cognition here IMO. If you have good social skills, then you're better of on FB too. ()

= Anecdotal evidence.
I was just pointing out that there definitely is a UX piece and plenty of room for designer contributions.

Not to mention the installers and the rarely-used menus and preference windows. Just because you don't see them very often doesn't mean they wouldn't benefit from thoughtful design.
While the client side has some login-related logic, it looks like authentication happens server-side.

From the source:

goosh.module.login = function () {
this.name = "login";
this.aliases = new Array("login");
this.help = "login with your google account *";
this.helptext = "goosh sees only your username";
this.parameters = "";
this.cb = function (A, B) {
if (goosh.ajax.iscontext(A)) {
if (B && B != "guest") {
goosh.lib.cookie.set("loggedin", "1", 365)
}
goosh.config.user = B;
if (goosh.config.user != "guest") {
goosh.gui.outln("You're logged in as: "
+ goosh.config.user + "<br/>");
goosh.set.init();
goosh.gui.updateprompt();
goosh.gui.showinput();
goosh.gui.focusinput();
goosh.gui.scroll()
} else {
goosh.ajax.query("http://goosh.appspot.com/dologin?")
}
goosh.gui.showinput();
goosh.gui.focusinput();
goosh.gui.scroll()
}
};
this.call = function (A) {
goosh.ajax.query("http://goosh.appspot.com/

goosh.modules.register("login");

First of all, let's be clear: the root servers are owned and operated by various entities in countries all around the world. The root zone file is the sole domain of the Department of Commerce of the United States of America. So you'd have to ignore all of them, and i'm not completely sure the US Government wouldn't force Google to apply the one correct root zone file (after all, Google is such a powerhouse you could complain of a monopoly of internet control or influence).

Potential legal issues aside, what you end up with is a New Internet. Of course routes all remain the same, but nobody refers to addresses or routes: they use host names. Thus you run a huge risk of networked applications just not working, which would affect everything from entertainment to commerce to government services and god knows what else (what if medical devices in hospitals needed to retrieve a firmware upgrade and couldn't connect to the right host?).

In practice there would be no technical hurdle to do this. It's simple to just configure your domain name server to include some records, leave out some records and change others. Some people do this if their ISP redirects failed lookups to some advertising-laden homepage, for example. But on a large scale, the modification of the naming system to one's personal tastes has broad-reaching negative consequences related to availability of hosts and the functional and legal consequences therein. On a personal scale (modifying only your own name server results), you get to connect to your poker site again. I prefer the latter solution. If operating systems just started including a simple GUI to modify their personal domain name caches we probably wouldn't need an alternate dns root.
Ruby metaprogramming hell (it is a real place).

But meta-sin is so much fun!

Nice lib with a lot of potential. It will definitely come in handy and may well prompt me to take some unfinished projects off the back burner and get them in the oven as it were.

Also, I enjoy your README writing style. It walks the fine line between amusing irreverence and technical specificity very well.
What exactly does this mean? Are there new centralized control mechanisms in the works for Tor? This seems like a really bad idea TBH. I don't want my privacy tools to come with some strangely ambiguous "political" feeling sentiment. Focus is the key to success and this doesn't seem like it.
17"MBP here too, and after 2 years its been a great machine, still decent specs by today's standards. But the size is starting to wear on me. I've entertained the option of upgrading to a new 15"MBP but it doesn't seem like a big enough jump to justify the cost.

I hope Apple has a 15" Air in the works because that would feel like an upgrade in multiple dimensions - cpu, ram, display, weight, thickness, portability.
I was thinking a few weeks ago about how new advertising models on mobile would look like. The first thing that came to mind was exactly this: ads in the notification bar for Android.

Plenty of business models require that the user trade a negative benefit for a positive benefit. To succeed, you just have to ensure the net value to the user is positive. Yes, new ways of advertising are jarring at first, but some people will buy into it and adoption and acceptance start from there.

The company singled out here is clearly implementing this concept very poorly and possibly causing irreparable damage to this new advertising method, but it's the company's approach that is problematic, not the method itself.
Very true. I've used an Air as my only development and design machine for 2 years now; I love it; the thing has only 2Gb of RAM and it's still blazing fast for most everything. This is completely due to the SSD, which wasn't standard when I bought it, but seemed worth splurging for. I sleep better at night with less moving parts. When I sleep. Which I don't.
so 4GB RAM is enough (insofar as you can ever have enough RAM.)

If you're doing lots with VirtualBox or VMWare, then 4GB isn't quite enough. 6GB is pretty comfortable, though.
My experience using tramp with eshell is that it is painfully slow. However, most of what I would accomplish doing that can be accomplished using tramp with dired instead.
