> Nah, the right trusts everything the tv and radio hosts tell them.

I don't agree. The media, as a whole, leans left. Except for comparatively far fewer right leaning news outlets. I don't think I can name a single newspaper that doesn't have a left slant. LA Times, NY Times, WashPo are the giants, plus any of your local city newspapers. People on the right are not likely to trust any of those entities.

For news stations there's CNN, NBC, ABC, which all lean left. For the right, there's Fox and a couple a low-key bum ones like OANN and NewsMax. Again, right leaning people are likely to view most of tv media sources as untrustworthy.
> In my view, Sunstein is not "dismissing" anyone. He is describing their behavior as being irrational. Yes, I understand that people can take offense to being called irrational. But in the field of behavioral economics, discussions of rationality are not meant to insult. They are meant to inform public policy and law.

I'm sure Sunstein didn't mean to offend anyone. My problem is his pattern of thinking. He sees concern about the coronavirus, he doesn't understand it, and rather then asking himself whether the people who are concerned might be right, and he wrong, he asks himself what kind of bias these poor people suffer from.

> To be clear, Sunstein is not promoting censorship of people because they are biased.

He doesn't say that anyone who is biased should be censored, but part of his justification for censorship are "new findings in behavioural economics", which I interpreted to mean findings on human irrationality and bias. And this is why I think his writing on the coronavirus is relevant: It illustrates how easy such ideas are abused, not even maliciously, but just because it's easier to explain disagreement away with the irrationality and bias of the other guy, then to ask yourself whether the other guy is right.
And no one foresaw that a literal government-funded propaganda outlet would become subject to partisan squabbling once it became able to influence the US population directly? The structural problem here appears to be letting VOA target the domestic American market, not this particular CEO.
This thread is a joke. Mozilla is putting forth some great ideas to fix the internet without overt censorship. A plan that can work in the long term to improve the internet.
Why people think it is good idea to engage in mass suppression of speech? It is not just Trump himself, general Flynn, Powell, and even a random political cartoon satire author (that is not pro-trump) got banned.

If you take speech (and thus diplomacy) out of your opponent toolbox to deal with you, what tool is left?
Bitlocker can be configured (via manage-bde on the cmdline, iirc) to use a passphrase and not use the TPM at all.
Yup - this is the crux of my point. It's hitting the big guys today and could easily hit anyone tomorrow.
“One of the great mistakes is to judge policies and programs by their intentions rather than their results.” Milton Friedman
Cancellation of production facilities at TSMC due to Huawei/HiSilicon ban:

"... as clearly our key foundry customer came back and said, listen, our key customer for N3 is now blacklisted. So we cannot ship. So we need to adjust our 2021 outlook for EUV systems."

Could sell more had it not been for the US sanctions:

"... but clearly see potential upside to these numbers where we can disregard any further impact of export control regulations resulting from the current geopolitical situation."

The CEO is business person and for him to do any kind of politics or worse geopolitics would hurt his business. So he clearly cannot just say: "Listen, let us sell a bunch of these bad boys to the Chinese and the chip shortage will be a thing of the past in 6 months." Even though that just might be the case.
Simply because you get better or same performance for less money, more PCIe 4.0 lanes, ECC support even without going for Threadripper or Opteron solutions....like if I was buying a high performance workstations for building code/rendering I have no idea why I'd even consider spending literally 3x the money for an Intel system with identical or worse performance, using more power.
var r = await Task.Whenall(f1,f2,f3);
Console.WriteLine($"{r[0]}, {r[1]}, {r[2]}");

f1,f2,f3 are all async fn's, that is all you have to do
RSS is still cool... Right???

Seriously though RSS has never died and tonnes of us still use it despite the efforts of close-walled companies like Facebook and Twitter disabling it on their services. It is the only way I like to consume my news, particularly tech news, as there are just too many sources to do it any other way.

There are some services/clients that try to do what you describe and filter your feeds to emphasise keywords, authors etc.. that you are interested in. They are generally pretty immature though and I would welcome some better systems for this, as long as it is transparent what they are including and excluding.
I'm not trolling at all. I'm dead serious.

If you're talking about Red Hat, you're talking about products developed by a large company that are expected to be supported and well built before they go out there door. The tendency of Red Hat's products gear towards enterprise needs that are well understood and often times the bulk of the exercise is more about engineering than finding product market fit.

None of that is the case here. This is an early stage company that just released their first product on a single platform, made by a handful of people on a hope and a dream. I've been there. I've also seen my fair share of distractions. I don't doubt that for you it's part of your basic needs. But that doesn't mean it's part of the basic needs of the majority of their future customers. It's very easy to get side tracked on early feedback for feature requests that even when made don't convert to actual usage.

Looking over the homepage, I don't believe they have found product market fit. To me, their messaging is unclear, and who this is for is not obvious. Even if they're on the right track, why should they waste time (and this opportunity on HN) for anything but getting the core product experience out to people? Leaving their platform is anything but a core product experience... it's an off ramp. When you have no cars on your freeway, on-ramps are far more important.
Almost as fast as the college kids... but not quite.
The key takeaway for me was right at the top:

> In order to be resilient—to be able to prepare for and respond to those unknown failure modes—an organization needs three things. First, it needs the organizational learning skills to maintain and develop a body of shared knowledge. These skills—including systems thinking, team and individual learning, shared goals, and adaptability—prevent the wasted effort of addressing the same problems over and over. Second, an organization must have the tools, processes, and ambient psychological safety to communicate effectively within and across teams. Finally, it requires enough slack for engineers to be able to perform both proactive and reactive work as needed. Without sufficient slack, it’s easy to end up in a never-ending cycle of fighting fires, finding Band-Aid solutions, and dealing with growing technical debt. If people don’t feel safe owning up to mistakes or admitting they don’t know something, it’s harder to diagnose and fix issues. And without the ability to learn from past incidents, work becomes Sisyphean, with meaningful improvement feeling forever out of reach.
There already are too many (supposed) solutions that came about before properly understanding the problem, which is extremely valuable in and of itself.
I'm not entirely against statist intervention -- especially if it would be prefixed by a more universal health care system to justify it. But speaking of justification, I am not sure whether we really reached a point where we could equate sugar with alcohol and tobacco, i.e. as a substance where any amount is hurtful, and so taxation can begin with the first milligram. Is there a substance where we impose fines for "too much" of it? Unless science is very, very clear here, I would fear to tread on that slippery slope.

But I don't see this as a truly solved problem on any side. I assume that "taxing McDonalds" is basically a simplication. Still, what would you tax? Products containing refined sugar? Anything above a certain cal/lbs ratio? (Of course, the problem doesn't arise as much if you really agree with the sugar/substance X = 100% badwrong assumption)

Of course, private efforts don't need to be held to the same standards as those of the government, but on the other hand are quite a bit less effective. I would be interested in how a group of "concerned citizens" would try to tackle this.
This is a timely article for me as I have been trying to figure out XMR transaction fees but any other answers have been quite vague, almost cryptic(no pun intended!).

Now in a week when my gui wallet finally finishes downloading the blockchain, I can transfer the 0.006 XMR I earned in a month from the pool!
They’ve always had an agenda; sway opinion and leverage that power.

I wonder if they’re less trustworthy or you’re more aware of their untrustworthiness?
CPI is determined by M1V , i.e. velocity of M1. Since M1 is already out there, we just have to wait for the V. For now it's parked in the inflated stocks.

Most importantly, without high M1, high M1V is not possible.
They dont want data sharing methods being revealed
Really we need a venn diagram with like 10 different circles to describe the distinction between what is meant by liberal and what is meant by left here.

Liberal, in this case, when contrasted against the left usually describes the politics of the neoliberal and neoconservative (and often a mixture of the two) wing of the Democrat Party. In other words, liberals are considered a sort of right wing - pro-market/pro-capitalism - of the Democrat party. On the other hand, you have the “real left” which represents anti-capitalist and pro-labor ideals (this is a smaller faction and it’s more of a gradient that leans toward democratic socialism than full abolishment of capitalism). There are certain cases where (parts of) the neoliberal and left wing align - for example the various identity issues. That’s the “progressive” part of the party.

But yes this is all very confusing because we have only recently developed language in US politics to describe these differences and they have not really hit mainstream political discussion. That and we have one mega party that represents many different views.
Oh, thanks for the reference.
The main claim the company is making is that they have Supercapacitor based batteries in testing. Possibly made of graphene, and in sizes of 1KW to 3KW.

If it can be independently verified, then it is ground braking result, because they seem to have achieved very high volumetric energy density, comparable to lithium ion batteries.

And being supercapacitors, they can charge very fast, in 15 min.

They have not focused on passenger cars at all.
Only concerned that they didn’t act sooner.
The point at which lame duck presidents start fanning the flames of insurrection seems like a great marker for when to decide. Not hard.
Yep and leave section 230 alone as well.
It's very concerning. This is a coordinated political action with unprecedented scale. You may agree with the action this time, next time you may not.
Gold has had thousands of years to equalize in value.

Bitcoin is about 12 years old.
Nothing culturally Western will ever be considered weird by people in the West, by definition.
Capitalism works really well when their are penalties for failure.

Sell a terrible car and people buy a different product, but when you have local monopolies like rural hospitals you always run into issues.

With Texas electricity markets you make more money if everyone is generating 1/2 power in an emergency when the market hits it’s legal maximum. That set’s up very poor incentives. It all comes down to this: ERCOT can be more susceptible to wholesale price spikes because it does not have a capacity market, which pays power plants to be on standby during peak demand and weather emergencies, for example. ERCOT’s model means consumers are not paying for generation that may never be called into action. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-electricity-texas-prices-...

PS: It’s an often reported lie that the price was set by regulators, they set a limit well before the storm and the market I created the price to 9$/kWh and then was capped by that limit. If sufficient generation was online the wholesale price would have remained anything below that 9$.
I can hear my daughter just fine on a crowded playground. It's all about spending a decent amount of time with your own children.
Wow, Computer Literacy I completely forgot about them. As an east coast geek they they were like a unicorn.

When I joined Sun Microsystems in 1990, and I went to orientation training in Mt. View it was like visiting heaven when I got to walk in the door of Computer Literacy.

I also bought a few books from them via email, ah, the beginnings of eCommerce. Jeez I'm old.
I don't understand the problem with the FAA but the VA and USPS have been deliberately sabotaged in the past to "prove" the political end you state in your post.
I think there's a place for privately operated power generation. It doesn't have to be one or the other. There should be some avenue for the profit motive to produce effeciency gains. There needs to be effective regulation, though. And perhaps the amount of regulation needs to be proportional to the fraction of power generation that is privately operated.
A FT job is a great jump start into freelancing and consulting. You get so much context for free, and frankly anyone at a FT job that has a consultant mindset will have way more opportunities.
Binyamin Applebaum attempting a gotcha moment with Buttigieg on this topic is one of the funniest moments from last year’s election.

Honestly, that's fair.
Excellent point, there should be government-provided options (not the only options, that's clearly infeasible) or subsidies for those as well, for exactly the reasons you state.
I...I don't think the article you're quoting supports your conclusions. It concludes that running (slightly) too hot doesn't meaningfully impact error rates, and that even if you run at the recommended temperature, memory errors will happen anyway.

So the conclusion is that, whether you're a financial institution or Google, you need ECC, at which point running too hot doesn't have any appreciable effect anyway.
I think there are at least two discourse communities with opinions on the correct usage, and what is "typically" done depends on which you are interacting with.
Are there any public forums with amateur scientists / bio-hackers that use these and document all of their research? I've been looking for a way to do genetic profiling truly "at home".

That's not necessarily the correct calculation if you want to maximize how many people you save.

Italy started intentionally letting people over 60 die, to try to save more people. For their dire circumstances, it was probably the right decision.

It might help to save a lot more lives if we understand how many people have already had Covid and what immunity looks like post-infection.

Every 1% jump in the unemployment rate kills a large number of people. If we're about to see 20% unemployment in the US, a hundred thousand people or more will die directly from that economic event alone (that's an intentionally conservative number, the routinely taught economics figure would imply upwards of half a million deaths over several years).

Getting the economy back to functioning may be just as important as limiting the Covid deaths of the most vulnerable. Understanding the spread of Covid, how many people are asymptomatic, how many have had mild cases, and what immunity looks like, is critical to that process.
I have similarly been running Ubuntu on an XPS15 mostly without any issues. Networking has been fine, standby, battery life, all that has been fine.

Takes a little bit of research and tweaking to get it into a good state, but once one has the right kernel opts and GPU power management stuff worked out, it's a breeze. Not everyone wants to do that, but that's the cost of running Linux.

From that point, I found it to be more reliable and pleasant than Windows 10 or Mac, all of which I use on a regular basis.
We have many emts and fire fighters (medical training part of the job) waiting for something. Take those on call...

I agree with your point though, we can safely make a difference to someone, but statically it doesn't show up as we dare not spare that many people lest a real local emergency happen.
Your grandparent will care quite a deal.

Do you have the tools to intubate them properly? Do you know how to get a good head tilt? Do you have anesthetic and a vasoconstrictor to administer?

Before you build a ventilator, figure out how you would shove a garden hose down someones throat past the vocal cords. I'll wait.
At Tesorio we are looking for a Data Engineer with K8s expertise - https://jobs.lever.co/tesorio/f77eaea4-4ff6-4718-b125-723513...

We’re now looking for a Data Engineer or Senior Backend Software Engineer who can lead the charge in developing and maintaining the platform that will support large-scale ML deployments. This project you are joining is fast-paced and for a large bank, so you must be experienced—you will not have time to simultaneously onboard, gather business context, and deliver on the tight timeline. To give you a sense for the project, imagine that you have cutting-edge machine learning models, but you now have to deploy them behind a bank’s four walls on a system that could be used by over 30,000 companies simultaneously in a database with billions of records.

The ideal candidate for this role is NOT someone that can build a great model, rather you are good at building and maintaining a complex piece of infrastructure on Kubernetes and understand its common pitfalls. You should be strong at Python and SQL, a good communicator, and should be extremely reliable, able to own deliverables without dropping the ball. You must have 6+ years of experience as an engineer with 3+ years of production-level experience working with Kubernetes.

Our team is based in the San Francisco Bay Area, and we have a diverse, distributed workforce in five countries across the Americas. We don’t believe that people need to sacrifice being close to their families and where they’d prefer to live in order to do their best work.
Somehow TiVo made it all these years on the premise of dodging ads. Not 1:1, but it gives hope.
There's a dualism here. I'm also a keyboard driven person. That's why plugins like Divvy are an absolute necessity.

If I were to only use a terminal (which, due to vmail and pianobar, is becoming even more common for me), then it really wouldn't matter for me where I was. But it's the other stuff that keeps me hacking away on my MacBook Pro. Wifi just working, the OS automatically selecting the right printer, the right balance of "enter the administrator password to continue", a selection of great web browsers, mail clients, popular games, etc.

Mac gives the best of two worlds. You can be a keyboard hacker and be super productive, then you can take a break and casually browse the web with the fantastic touchpad.
A large part of that, from what I've encountered (by no means a representative sample), is due to Unix makefiles expecting/requiring X in specific-location-Y, or making things stringly-typed[1], or outright artificially restricting the systems it thinks it can run on, failing fake sanity checks up-front. Or other bad code.

But yes. OSX is not a direct match to other Unix-like systems, and a lot of source compiles not tweaked to handle OSX (many are) will require changing a couple things. Though Qt worked just fine for me, so who knows.

Even if these classifications made sense, I think most programmers are some blend of the ideas behind each group. As a programmer I switch between all of these modes as necessary.
This sounds like it would be an additional chapter on Rework titled "Don't Be Big On Numbers Through Social Media," well thought-out.
I wouldn't store passwords in my wallet either and find this system far too cumbersome. I think if you're really concerned about security, you should never "remember" your password on any site -- see story about stupid criminal who stole a Washington Post reporter's laptop and posted photo of himself on the reporter's son's Facebook page: http://blog.washingtonpost.com/story-lab/2010/12/post_4.html (the security of the teen's FB page isn't getting the same play as the stupid criminal angle).
Another observation about the site: it's very Facebook-unfriendly at the moment. Try sharing the URL on Facebook and you'll see that the site lacks any text or images that FB can readily pick up for display and thus only your URL is displayed. This app looks amazing, but that does make it a bit hard to tell people about on Fb.
> YUI, while a bit too verbose for my taste, is very well-designed

YUI2 or 3? I hated 2 but I think 3 is the best general purpose JS library out there. It works particularly well in coffeescript.
From my few experiences at open source software programmery events over the past few years, I'd disagree. Always seems that a little fewer than half of attendees have macs in front of them. I explain part of it to myself by noticing that the numbers skew even higher than half when it's something 'webby,' and attributing that to the closeness to graphic design-media-marketing types.

With other systems programmer types, I still see plenty of macs, but I blame that on the fact that those programmers are spending all of their important time on the server and some don't feel like futzing around on their laptop with a more fiddly OS like Linux or Windows. The only thing that all programmers seem to like to fiddle with endlessly is IDEs and text editors, and there seem to plenty of mac options for that.
Nowhere in this blog post does he say that the supply of immigrants ought to be restricted...
