Could just be timing. It's an interview tied to a book release. Presumably he's been writing it for a while, studying the issue long before that. He could have meant we were in "serious trouble" even without a pandemic.

I had to talk my elderly dad down from attempting to mow the lawn for a while. A hospital overloaded with pulmonary distress that also has to deal with you cutting off a toe will put you and the virus patients at much higher risk than normal.

I go multiple directions with your concern about the title. On one hand, as another comment pointed out, there's a troubling sense that it's using panic to sell clicks. On the other hand, if it's a real issue in-and-of-itself, then it's a real issue people should know about.

On the gripping hand, if it helps join up two separate problems in our minds now rather than us only noticing once it is already well underway, that's got to be a plus. Climate is another one that has this quality in this moment, or at least pollution. I'm thinking about the nitrogen dioxide over China data visualizations https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22634955
My buddy made a totally lame lizard people video, with fake doctors using bad German accents etc. He was thrilled to get legitimate conspiracy comments on it! Folks taking it at face value.

So yeah, there are all kinds of stupid out there.

At least they seem to be trolling.
Most methods of sedation will bring on respiratory depression as a side effect. It's the reason you need to be on a ventilator when you're having anesthesia.

Needless to say, a patient who wants survive what the OP describes shouldn't risk additional respiratory depression.

No matter how important and lasting something is, mainstream media will get diminishing returns from talking about it. A good example is Hurricane Katrina: it was discussed incessantly for a few weeks, and then it disappeared from headlines. For many people, it's a continuing tragedy, but you don't hear about it anymore.

That's an extreme example, but you get my point. People stop reading about the same thing over and over again. Bitcoin was a bit of a buzzword (buzz topic?) for a while, and now people are writing about other things to draw traffic.

None of this is to say that Bitcoin is everything people are saying it is. It's not a replacement for currency, even though something like it may be one day.

(Also, Bitcoin user growth seems to have slowed quite a bit. There is apparently a ceiling on the number of people willing to trust it to buy things.)
This is the cause of only 12% of accidents according to the article. "Other passengers" cause 15% and every other cause is a smaller amount. That's a ton of variety in what they consider the causes - would love to see the full list.
Too little is known on whether the Economist is worth it.
A restaurant requires continuous inputs: fresh food, labor, electricity.

Code is a purely digital good. What was in the repo a few days ago could be released at no ongoing cost to FoundationDB/Apple and it will stay exactly how it was, forever.
I definitely do not support having unmonitored servers. If your server is used in an attack, you should see a traffic spike and shut it down.

I also meant to say that any server used for this purpose should be firewalled so that only your IP can access it.
Indeed - this reads as "we no longer need you, the customer, so screw you". Not a good look for anyone who is looking to move on from this company, especially if they are in management and presumably would have had something to say about how things wound down.
It gives you something to relate dry academic equations to though.
Because GamerGate was brewing to become the new chanology, which would have been a disaster for the whole website.

As for 8chan I guess it's because its address was being spammed constantly on every board and it's also considered advertising.
GoW + ConEmu make Windows 8 acceptable for me.
It's even worse if you have one normal resolution screen and one high. I want my primary screen to be the 1080p one (because that's where games run), so Windows renders things on the 4K screen at normal resolution and upscales them. It looks baaad.
There is an error in the first example under Giant Reference Card.

The bytes come out as:

That's the standard for our criminal justice system, not for us as individuals. It sounds from the release that the justice department has a boatload of compelling evidence against them.
> the persistent storage layer into mesos is still being baked

That's pretty important point, would have thought persistent storage would have been first point to get working for a project like Mesos. Also, their homepage ( http://mesos.apache.org/ ) outright states: "Apache Mesos abstracts CPU, memory, storage, and other compute resources away from machines [...]". What storage are they talking about if not persistent storage?

If you were suffering from Oppositional Defiant Disorder, would you recognize it? Gaslighting is not a very convincing argument, and that's exactly what it is when you implicitly accuse anyone who disagrees with you of having an invisible psychological problem. It's really is still possible for people to disagree on vaccine and mask mandates, both expressing legitimate reasons and concerns, without resort to such cheap tactics.
What's your selection criteria? I'm guessing lots of people would be interested in validating hardware/gadget ideas.

well after reading this post its no shock that you have been on the site over 230 days and your karma is 10.

Honestly, I know what you are getting at but I think what you miss is that some of the greatest minds in tech made the most impact before 30, and lots of good businessmen and entrepreneurs younger than 30 make it every year.

I speak with some bias because of my age, but just because people are under a certain threshold do not underestimate the value they can bring to a conversation or product.

It's not always about how old you are or how much money you've made (though if you'd like to get in that pissing match I'd welcome you in my case) In truth, just about everyone can bring value to a conversation if you listen with an open mind and take no word as the gospel you will come away much better for it.

All this was basically to say if you are not happy with advice from certain groups of people don't accept it, but I for one am glad people decided to listen to guys like Woz, Jobs and Gates well before 30. Without those open minds the world would probably be an entirely different place. And not for the better
"Before the industrial revolution" is only like 150 years (or so) ago.

This is awesome, I've never ponied up the cash to listen to the WWDC lectures before, and I'm glad that Apple is following Microsoft and Google's way of releasing videos free after the event
What he should or shouldn't be doing with respect to his job is determined by his manager and company - not by the public at large, fortunately.

While the obvious case can be made that someone could have been more professional in this situation (as with almost any situation) - there is very little in terms of expectation set here. No promises of consequence were made, no binding contracts... and for all we know, the behaviour of the applicant in this situation was part of the hiring manager's decision process (whatever that might be)
Sounds like some manager just over stepping his mark, getting excited about a project, forgetting that Apple likes to do most of its work internally.
He didn't have the dataset.
As a MediaTemple customer since January 2007 I can vouch for this. Their hosting service isn't what it was when the Web was courting them during the Web 2.0 hype era. I still pay them to host my blog (on hiatus), but now I use WebFaction for current projects and could not be happier with their hosting or customer service. I strongly recommend them.
Why is Bitcoin a good currency again? If I understand how it is distributed correctly, those with higher/more computational power receive more of the finite bitcoins. How does that not favor the already rich?

Let's go into a few points:

Costs. My state has the opposite (corps more expensive than LLCs), So this is a YMMV thing.

>Why is it a ripoff, reason number 2? When you form an LLC you have to spend lots of time with your lawyer hashing out things like what happens to the company when you die

It is almost trivial to change the LLC operating agreement. Sure, once you start to get into it, you can get more complex, but this again, is something you can do easily again later once you're sure you are sticking with this thing.

>Why is it a ripoff, reason number 3? The reason your tax guy is telling you it's a good deal is because of the pass through loss/profit which falls through to you

Only for 1 of the three ways to do LLCs. You can do LLCs as a disregarded entity (what you're talking about, which is simple as hell, but has a generally higher tax burden). You can elect to treat your LLC as a C-Corp for federal tax purposes (and state). This, for tax purposes, is basically a C corp, with all that matters under the tax law. You can elect to treat your LLC as a S-Corp (what I do). This allows you to do damn near everything you can as an actual S-Corp with oodles more flexibility, generally smaller filing fees, and a much faster setup with no annual meeting, etc, requirements.

>Now for the really big reason: if you make a profit with an LLC, you will pay self-employment tax. If you take profits with an S-corp it is dividend income (or share buybacks, etc).

Only if it's a disregarded entity. You do not pay self employment tax with a LLC taking a S-Corp election, you pay active owners a salary(on which you pay SS and medicare) and any other income is reported on schedule K (which does not trigger self employment tax; self employment tax is a stand in for SS and Medicare taxes).

> You WILL pay more taxes using an LLC than an S-corp simply because you have far less flexibility owing to the fact that the corp is a separate legal entity while that is an extreme grey area for an LLC.

No it's not. LLCs are better statutorily defined than corporations actually. They are quite clearly defined. Generally speaking, disregarded entities (what you apparently had) are considerably closer to a sole proprietorship than S-Corp and C-Corp elected LLCs. This is why I say "You should probably be doing a S or C corp LLC".

>Your average CPA is useless when talking about these topics,

You need to find a small business CPA. They know tons about this. If you go to an estate planning expert, don't expect tons of tricks in the small business department. CPAs have specialties just like coders do. You wouldn't have your ruby guru write your C microcontroller code. Same deal with accountants. I've been to two small business CPAs who both sung "S-Corp election of a LCC" from the top of the highest mountains.
I know of two datacenter "attacks".

However they were inside jobs by disgruntled former employees which I know disqualifies my original concern.
I'm also not sure how this is going to help someone build a better bike... just because it's possible doesn't mean it's a good idea. bikes with steep head tube angles are jerky.

Don't bother trying to get lucky on the 50BTC block bounty; join a pool that splits the winnings. Pools provide well over half the calculation capacity of the Bitcoin system, most are free to join and ones worth joining don't have any real requirements.

I make about 1 BTC per day just with spare GPU cycles on my desktop; it's not a substantial amount by any means, just a test pool for experiments and playing with software.
Sounds a lot like what Venmo is doing (https://venmo.com/). I don't think they have an API yet.

Unreasonable faith in myself to pull it off!
The complaints in that article mostly stem from systemic problems with abandoned city cores. In areas that have seen large-scale gentrification the schools have predictably seen similar increases in achievement. Crime tends to follow a similar trajectory.

What he's describing the headache that comes with being an urban 'pioneer'.

I'll also take exception with gems like:

Nobody lays in their bed in Plano and hears gunshots half a mile away.

Except that they do. I still own a house in Plano (in the most suburban 'safest' part), and in the year in a half that we lived there (2005-2007) we:

* had a neighbor (3 houses down) forced at gunpoint back into their house, tied up, and robbed blind. All happened in broad daylight.

* had a gun-fight in the parking lot across the street from our development

* had multiple muggings and car-jackings all within close proximity of our house.
It's great to live in a time when developers can build products for other developers.
The line between what totalitarian regimes (such as China) do to the Internet and what the US government does to the internet becomes thinner and thinner. Think about it — both governments now use their control of the Internet infrastructure to limit access to undesirable content.

What I find most scary, though, is the very limited reaction this gets.
I'm a new user. I too have just discovered today that quoting pg does seem to make some people here uncomfortable. However even they admit themselves that those are words we quote are of wisdom.

> There's nothing in the idea that forbids immediate mode UI frameworks from keeping any amount of internal state between frames to keep track of changes over time

When you call ImGui::Button("Hello World") it has no way of telling if it’s the same button as on the previous frame, or a new one. You’re simply not providing that data to the framework.

It’s often good enough for rendering, they don’t really care if it’s an old or new button as long as the GPU renders identical pixels. When you need state however (animations certainly do), the approach is no longer useful.

A framework might use heuristics like match text of the button or relative order of things, but none of them is reliable enough. Buttons may change text, they may be dynamically shown or hidden, things may be reordered in runtime.

> Layout problems can be solved by running several passes over the UI description before rendering happens.

You’re correct that it’s technically solvable. It’s just becomes computationally expensive for complex GUIs. You can’t reliably attach state to visual elements, gonna have to re-measure them every frame.

> There need to be accessibility APIs which let user interface frameworks connect to screen readers

Windows has it for decades now. For Win32 everything is automatic and implemented by the OS. Good custom-painted GUI frameworks like WPF or UWP handle WM_GETOBJECT message and return IAccessible COM interface. That COM interface implements reflection of the complete GUI, exposing an objects hierarchy. I’m not saying it’s impossible to do with immediate rendering, just very hard without explicit visual tree that persists through the lifetime of the window.
Yes I wonder about that too. It is really impressive. Was he well connected and famous among the famous before starting his podcast?
I might add, so, that the Nazis might have covered up things. Yet, it was kind of common knowledge what happened to the Jews. Even if people, like two of my grandparents, did everything to ignore it. Because the people next to concentration camps knew what was going on. As did those who got appartments from Jews. Anecdata, my other grandmother, she worked as a maid at the time, used to leave food outside for the inmates of a nearby concentration camp when they were driven work. Until she was told in no uncertain terms to step if she didn't want to end up there as well. She had a painting from one prisoner, unfortunately I never asked her more about it.

My point being, people knew. Maybe not the extent, but the overall picture. And a lot of them just outright denied that knowledge after the war. Kind of understanding, this attitude prepared the ground for outright holocaust denial.

I think the diagram gives a skewed view of how hard this actually is.

I run a very similar setup only my VPS is only a proxy for my home server and it requires very little maintenance. I run everything with docker-compose and I haven't had to work on my setup at all this year and only about 8 hours in 2020 to setup the Wireguard network to replace the ssh tunnels I was using previously for VPS -> server communications.

At the end of the day YMMV and use what you are comfortable with, but it's not as crazy undertaking as it sounds.
It all depends on context. Most project deadlines are artificial bullshit anyway.

And the reasons why a project is not on schedule may not be due to the behavior of people dropping their work at 5pm.

Even so, tough luck: in NL most work to live, we don’t live to work like in some other countries.

I really resonated with the original question of ASK HN.
Really interesting, lots of good resources. Thanks!
What they're actually tracking tends to be the fact you've searched for $productcategory (whether you bought or not)

In theory since they also have purchase data their 'purchasing intent' categories could exclude people who have subsequently purchased from $productcategory for products which are substitutes (but definitely not products which are complements/consumables/collectibles etc, because someone who has just bought guitar/fishing accessories isn't just likely to buy more guitar/fishing accessories again in future but a lot more likely to than the average person), and yes they could even make guesses about whether somebody is likely to want more than one office chair based on whether they're purchasing as a business or an individual. But in practice it's not easy when they've got a product inventory that's so enormous, complex and dubiously-labelled even the basic product search doesn't work that well, and most of the time the vendors are paying them to show the ads anyway. And still wouldn't be perfect (ironically I seriously considered buying two different vacuum cleaners for different use cases this week!)

It's surprising how bad basic targeting is, like when Facebook allowed ad targeting by sexual orientation but even dating websites spent vast sums without bothering, so its unsurprising subtle distinctions about which buyer types only need one of which office accessory are often missed.

With this, police will soon stop intervening to stop crimes from happening, and will instead focus their attention on after-the-fact data gathering and reporting. I can't blame them, but quality of life for law abiding citizens is likely to suffer. In high crime areas, I can understand police considering certain neighborhoods as "no go" zones. Why take such a risk with your own life to stop a crime against somebody else?
This is very slippery-slopy, the next Trump will know to take definitive actions against corporate entities like Twitter from earlier on.
Matrix is riddled with bugs. While I agree with you that signal isn't all that great (they do some really good stuff and then make some really weird trade-offs), I've recently compared Signal, Wire, Threema, Jami, Briar, Element/Matrix, and Keybase.

The most mature app is Signal. It has the best usability to privacy trade-off.

Threema is the better choice if you don't mind not having a usable desktop client. For me that's a total deal breaker. It costs a one-time 5 bucks and it's totally worth that, if only it had so much as a usable web client (you need to open your phone and navigate two menus to enable the web client every time your phone changes WiFi or anything).

Wire is the better choice if you can sacrifice a tiny bit of usability for better privacy. It's sluggish is all, and (like Signal and most other services) uses AWS. Full disclosure: I was involved in a paid audit of Wire so I know more about the encryption protocol than I do about the other clients'.

Element/Matrix is the better choice if you'd rather make a trade-off towards privacy. Presumably the clients will mature, and between two years ago and one year ago they've made good progress. It's going less fast today but I still see things getting slowly better, and the decentralization works very well and fairly easy to setup.

If all you really want is a better privacy policy and want to ensure people stick around and don't uninstall it, Telegram is by far the usability winner and has a large network effect already. But it's a trade-off with the devil because there is zero encryption. They could ransom or sell our chat logs any time.

Briar and Jami have limitations that make it unusable for general purposes use with your mom. Facebook and Google's messengers I didn't look at for obvious reasons. Keybase was never end to end encrypted to begin with and now Zoom bought them so they'll probably shut down soon (also, bugs).

Rocket.chat seems only aimed at business users.

You can also do OTR over any platform you like, and I still have to try this overlay encryption system on Android (I forgot its name).

Pick your poison...
Depends on the policy. Obviously harassing or obscene speech is one thing and even the government is free to restrict it in certain ways (eg. you're not allowed to scream obscenities in public.) Viewpoint-based discrimination is given much more scrutiny, however, and there's a good argument that that's what Twitter et. al are engaging in. Which is less like "throwing unruly patrons out" and more like "calling people whose ideas you dislike unruly and then throwing them out", which is obviously discriminatory.
