Is this the same school board as recently indulged in an absurd school-renaming binge? https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/02/san-franci...

[edit: Yes, apparently. Nice to see the insanity is at least consistent.]
The countries in Africa that seem to be doing the best are those that are mostly homogenous. Those that have many differing groups in a country whose borders were drawn up by agreements between European powers for their own benefit have lots of problems including violent conflict. Ideally the countries of Africa would get together and redraw their borders to be more aligned with the various differing population groups but unfortunately that is unlikely to ever happen as some valuable natural resources would change which group gets to benefit from them. The closest this has come to happening was the split of South Sudan from Sudan, but the oil curse has kept that from being a harmonious divorce.
I'm sure they say that but they attack the people advocating their cause so often that I doubt it. You see, there's no range on their responses. DuckDuckGo using a favicon service without thinking about it would be as evil as Google intentionally using HTML5 Local Storage to bypass cookies.
I'd pay double that right now for any search engine that gave 10 results in <1 second.
If it is not open-source, and if it is not offline-functional, then it is not privacy-first design. Safe browsing updates can be served like software updates. Apple could demonstrate they serve software updates from servers that don't log any PII data. Only then they would have actually improved the situation.
Why not simply "racists"? They are racists. They are literally trying to reorganize society based on a race theory. They only difference is that it is a different race theory, but they still have the race war mentality of past eras.
If your GitHub readme has adverts, I'm not using your project. It's not how GH works.

Is this even allowed in GH's ToS?
> A low positive inflation effectively makes all prices that are denominated in a fixed amount of the currency slowly lower. This helps the economy - ie, people and companies acting in the economy

This helps the people who have capital and is paid for by the people who only have wages. I am a person that only has a wage, so I choose bitcoin.
You mean like intel TXT remote attestation?
This article on phys.org appears to be taken verbatim from a press release written by the paper's author, Robert Erlech. (Here's his website: http://mason.gmu.edu/~rehrlich/) From that site, here's a link to what seems to be the original paper: http://arxiv.org/abs/1408.2804

Just as a minor quality signifier, it looks like this paper is categorized under gen-ph ("General Physics") on arXiv.org. That's unusual for mainstream research: topics like this would usually be categorized as "High energy physics" or "Astrophysics". I don't know exactly what criteria arXiv.org uses to judge when a paper should be moved to the "general" category, but I've had the sense that re-categorization is used as a (weak) form of quality control.

I haven't read the paper yet, but this is a truly extraordinary claim. It would take extraordinary evidence (or at least a hint of such evidence) for me to take it seriously.
Seems like people did enjoy the news at the time https://twitter.com/taraploughman
One doesn't need access to source code to fix bugs. However, it does make it a great deal easier, and saves time that would otherwise be wasted reverse engineering the system to understand exactly what is going on. But it's not a necessity.
There's no modern equivalent to "Manifest Destiny" for the US. We've conquered the continental US and are sufficiently happy with ourselves.

China and Russia do wish to expand, but they're not going to do it while the US is in power at least.

The closest we've got is "spread democracy to the world", which is less a "conquer the world" spirit, and more of a "make the world like our way of thinking" cultural expansion. We do it through movies, literature, debates, exchange programs and so forth.

And... erm... conquest. But only rarely (Iraq, South Korea). And whenever we do it by conquest, the US Population seems to get really pissed in general. Its why we had such a "hands off" approach in Libya and Syria so far... and why we're trying to get Iraq out of our hair. (Iraq seems to be a "we broke it we bought it" situation at this point)
I guess it can be won back if you convince people that calling programmers hackers and hackers crackers is hip now. Once we achieve that we can focus or more serious issues like naming Linux GNU/Linux :)
Couple of simple errors:
"Not catched" should be "not caught"
"Upto" should be "up to"
I would also add that "If the other guy has patents, it helps to have a few of your own." Eventually the system will be fixed, but we're not there yet.
That's quality, thanks! (even if a little vague)
Location: London, UK
Remote: Not required, but happy to join the right remote team
Willing to relocate: Not right now. Maybe in future.
Technologies: React, Node.js, TypeScript, GraphQL, AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform
Résumé/CV: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1l85C8dHwu6iTlFLiNK0xuuxy30OfvV0I/view?usp=sharing
Email: john@inarizushi.ltd

I'm looking for a senior front-end or full stack role in London, UK. I’m especially good at React, Node.js, TypeScript, GraphQL, AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes, and all the related bits. I'm as comfortable building APIs and managing cloud infrastructure as I am in the browser working on a modern web app.

Recently I’ve been doing contract work but I’d like to find a good permanent role where I can thrive with some more security. I have ~7 years experience. Available now.
True, But I'm specifically referring to the mass gatherings and stroll-abouts with more than two people over the weekend in the UK and not about today, which is still allowed unless it is by yourself [0].

My point wasn't that your advice doesn't stand if he doesn't have money, but rather that he doesn't need to have money to tell his landlord that he's terribly sorry but the Prime Minister has just appeared on his tele telling him to stay put.
Did they organize a way to get them groceries in the 2 weeks before giving in to lockdowns? Or was granny supposed to shop online?
I'm an IT guy but what's interesting is how they handle events known in the industry as mutual assist. You all have seen this in the news: a huge storm does severe damage to the local utility infrastructure and crews from other utilities, oftentimes from other states, come to assist (sometimes they stay for weeks on end). The logistics of feeding and housing these folks is one logistical nightmare that I don't know much about, I'm involved with their getting their work orders from our work management system. Imagine you just hired several hundred or several thousand contractors all at once and suddenly they all need access to some of your internal systems. The other interesting challenge we have is keeping our distribution models up-to-date. You'd think we'd know exactly what circuit you were on and what phase(s) were serving you. Generally we do but the information isn't 100% correct. When you have big outages and are doing mutual assist the guys' primary concern is getting the lights back on. Maybe they put you on a different circuit. Maybe they switched which phase of the transformer you connect to. Who know? In normal circumstances these kinds of changes are back-propagated to our distribution modelling system. But during big outages with mutual assist? No. The emphasis is on restoring power.

Now I'm on a team trying to alert you when we believe your power is out. This is where these discrepancies in the distribution model come back to haunt you. If you inform someone you believe their power is out and it's not then they're usually pretty cool about it. It's when you've informed someone you believe you've restored their power and they're sitting there in the dark that they get pretty upset.

Anyway, now you have a little more insight into the problems we face and some of the work we do. We don't use the sexiest technology stack in the world, but it's more than made up for by being able to see the importance of the work I do. Electricity is the foundation of modern civilization and I'm a part of it - cool!
Not sure where you're located at, but I've never heard unemployment referred to as "substantial". I've known a number of people who ended up on it, and it's generally a percentage of your normal wage, so I don't know how someone can increase their savings while unemployed unless they were blowing money left & right while employed.

Additionally, in most states you petition for unemployment and then generally have to prove you are eligible. All it takes is one spiteful manager to create a paper trail that you were let go with cause, and in most jurisdictions renders you ineligible. Then it becomes your word against theirs unless you have your own proof to fight back with.
Well, by being bad at chess I was motivated to code up a chess engine for the first time. Does that mean being bad at chess is good for my intellectual potential? I learned a lot about chess programming...
To summarize it’s due to cross-reactive immunity resulting from previous coronavirus (but not CoV-2) infections. Up to 90% of uninfected adults have these antibodies already.

Could this explain why many people have mild cases but some have severe cases? I’d be curious to find out how effective the cross-reactive antibodies are compared to ones produced by a vaccine.
It almost sounds like this has exposed flaws in co-working, where nothing gets written down, people are not inviting others to request help/collaboration, and training has to be done manually.
> programming at all professional levels must be easy for everyone, else you are a gatekeeper

I've literally never heard anybody say this. Best I can tell it's a straw-man the author has stood up.

Part of the problem is the ambiguity of the words "easy" and "hard", which would be a valid discussion to have, but the OP didn't really seem interested in that aspect, and chose instead to interpret things in the least-charitable way possible.
As far as I understood, the rate of even the rare clotting issue was still approximately at or below the expected background level. Has this changed?
The question was regarding N+1. If you're not careful with ActiveRecord, you get that. With Ecto, it's impossible.

Ecto has its own drawbacks, but its strong suit is predictability.
Hi everyone, Anatoli is here, the author of SQL Habit.

Problem: SQL is a language of data but many resources out there teach it on examples that are far from reality of a modern Internet company.

Solution: SQL Habit teaches SQL from scratch with examples from a fictional Internet company. You'll start from 0 and learn about how data helps this fictional startup to solve day to day challenges in Product, Marketing or Business departments.

After 6 months of building and 600 commits on Github I'm really excited to share SQL Habit with HN! Looking forward to your feedback (+ it's Black Friday sale)!
People don't buy $200 billion worth of drugs. To get that much, the nation state and oligarchs need to be rigging the economy and stealing with massive crony capitalism.
To choose to run a comparison test seems objective and rational, but if Excite had its own people perform them, there is quite a risk of 'not invented here' (caveat: I know nothing about how these tests were conducted, beyond what is in the clip.) If your expertise is in search, and someone else has a better idea, you don't look so good. If, in addition, the people tasked with the testing were aware of Larry Page's demand, they would have had even less incentive to show PageRank as superior.

There is a long history of companies crushing the innovation they buy, and it is not necessarily a top-down effect. Page had good reason to make this issue a deal-breaker.
@ihuman Is this really an "alternative"? To me it is a platform-specific "howto" (in that case, Mac OS X) that implements a platform-neutral recommendation (parent post).

Sounds like it needs to be volatile then, or rather whatever atomic memory read the kernel has.
I have had exactly two hard deadlines in the two years I've worked at my current startup. One of those was brutal but the other was very fair.

I don't know if I have a trick for finding a position like this other than to pay close attention to who your manager will be and what _they_ value. My manager believes strongly in the mission of the company (decarbonize the electric grid) but also has young kids that he cares a lot about. He left big tech to work here. So his passion and his work life balance both "trickle down."
We have 2 sets of twins, age 3 and 5. Currently drive a Multipla, which has the same controversial looks and the same 3+3 seating plan. I'd like a tesla truck, but I'd really like one as an estate/station wagon. More internal space, the merrier. Bigger is better. Shorter wheelbase is better for parking in London, but I can live with it. The number of big SUVs around here is utter nonsense. Stupid cars. Big on the outside, small on the inside. Diesel guzzlers. Nothing to do with function, whatsoever. Transport for London is banning a load of them in 2021.
Extremely evil was when an entire population was wiped off the earth in the industrial genocide of the Third Reich. Facebook or WhatsApp changing its TOS is irritating but it is not "extremely evil" I just realised that this is the same absolute language that incited the violence we saw on Wednesday. If something is "extremely evil" then there are very few constraints short of the Geneva convention and probably not that you should be bound by in your response. The point is language matters and so enough with calling everything we disagree with "evil".
I recently caved and watched the latest season of Alone, which takes place in the Canadian Arctic, on Netflix. It basically matches the non-canine related aspects of this article.

Contestants were sent home months-in, despite having excess meat stores from hunting/fishing, because of dangerous weight loss levels. They were literally starving to death even while eating excessive amounts of protein.

There’s a separate question of how “true” the show is (looking at you Bear Grylls!) but I believe the diet aspects were done in coordination with doctors.
> No, they don't. There doesn't need to be an arbitrage. If you have 10 USDT and I give you 9.90 USD for that...nothing else needs to happen.

I'm not an expert, so I might be wrong (seriously, not sarcastically). I _think_ this is technically arbitrage even though you never complete the loop.
I think scurvy in the 15th century was due to not including anything that might have vitamin C in the provisions. It was scurvy in the 19th and early 20th century that was due to copper pots (no one noticed because ships were much faster so sailors didn’t get scurvy), the wrong citrus juice (I don’t recall whether they had lemon or lime juice but they had the one with less vitamin C and called it by the name of the fruit with more), tinned food (babies on land were getting scurvy because the canning process destroyed vitamin C and they were only fed canned food), and contemporary doctors not really believing that scurvy was caused by the deficiency of anything.
> I can pull it together today and see if it's consumable by others.

That would be great since I have no idea at all.
I think your estimate of 6-7 is closer to right. I'm not a parent but as a ballet dancer I get involved in a lot of Nutcrackers, which are showcases for entire schools at all levels.

The 5-and-under crowd just generally swarms around the stage, with little attempt at "dance". The 6-8 year olds are beginning to dance, at about this level -- though I would say I saw a few movements by the robots that were remarkably expressive.

It's a bell curve, and there is certainly a right tail of kids who are far better than these robots at age 6-8. The median, however, is about on par.
I think the 3.5% number is not for low risk investing. Additionally, you would need to make something more like 5.5% to account for inflation. Still a fairly conservative number for investments in equities.
I have a twitter thinger on my blog that shows a search for my blog name...
They probably won't fix that, because DNS does not allow CNAMES at naked domains.

I'm on a Virgin Media 50MB connection, and filesonic.com is blocked for me.
I've contributed a tiny amount to git (the high-level "git mergetool") so I can't speak for all of the git developers, but I've spent enough time hanging around for them to say that the general feeling they have is that git's algorithm which is "3-way merge, and then look at the intervening commits to fix any merge conflicts" is good enough.

You can always try to spend more time trying to use more data, or deducing more semantic information, but past a certain point, it's what Linus Torvalds has called "mental masterburation".

For example, you could try to create an algorithm that notices that in branch A a method function has been renamed, and in branch B, a call to that method function was introduced, and when you merge A and B, it will also automatically rename the method function invocation that was added in branch B. That might be closer to "doing the right thing". But does it matter? In practice, a quick trial compile check of the sources before you finalize the merge will solve the problem, and that way you don't have to start adding language-specific semantic parsers for C++, Java, etc. So just because something could be done to make merges smarter, doesn't mean that it should be done.

It's a similar case going on here. Yes, if you prepend and postpend identical text, a 3-way merge can get confused. And since git doesn't invoke its extra resolution magic unless the merge fails, the "wrong" result, at least according to the darcs folks, can happen. But the reason why git has chosen this result is that Linus wanted merges to be fast. If you have to examine every single intermediate node to figure out what might be going on, merges would become much slower, since in real life there will be many, many more intermediate nodes that darcs would have to analyze. Given that this situation doesn't happen much in real life (not withstanding SCM geeks who spend all day dreaming up artificial merge scenarios), it's considered a worthwhile tradeoff.
It wouldn't matter if www.foo.bar and foo.bar both resolved to the target, all too often the www. prefix is the only one that works. Get that sorted then worry about deprecating the prefix.
Well, yes. Obviously. One would hope.

But if they were to do so, it could be done so that there likely wouldn't be anything in the visible application or its behaviour to highlight the change to a regular user. Unless you somehow see that the key ratcheting is in use and can confirm the two-sided key state out of band with your peer, you can't tell without disassembling the client.

However, this feels like derailing quite far from the original topic. The contract and assumption of E2E protection unavoidably relies on trusting the client(s) and the devices they run on.

With my layman understanding this is correct in principle but according to the linked paper in the article the climate target of 1.5 C will already be surpassed in the year 2100 – even without any further CO2 emissions.

And yes, the tail effects of global warming beyond our usual time horizon of 2030/2050 were already known.

Hi ngokevin! The Anki community is fantastic and there are some great decks out there. However, we found that the quality, format and even difficulty tend to vary wildly across decks. For example, many decks have low quality audio or don't include it at all; others have poor sentence selection, etc
I have a Roku streaming stick+ and I found the hardware to be slow. Maybe it's just due to the weaker specs on the stick?

There was also one on Steve Bannon's War Room too this morning towards the end.

There are multiple ones if you just search of the Capitol police literally waving people in.
I get your sentiment, but it also seems like you don't care for Canadian culture and identity, history, and everything, and would be happy seeing it eventually die out in favor of American culture or some other.

Free market is nice, but applying it to culture is saying you're okay to see your culture lose to another. At the same time, how can a country of a small population win a culture content war against one of multiple time its size with much more capital.

The way you talk about being forced to compete, I feel you're assuming that news, media, talk shows, music, movies, and all that are somehow not also incorporating values and morals that reflect a culture. And that there shouldn't be any desire to make sure that Canadian values, morals and historical lineage is still represented in content broadcasted to Canadians.

Now personally, I value Canadian culture and identity, and I want to see it grow and prosper and still be represented in broadcast reaching Canadians. That doesn't mean blocking foreign content, but I think it's fair to make recommendations, search results, and other such promotional mechanism prioritize a certain amount of Canadian content when accessed from Canada. And even more so, I think it's a good idea if it should make sure to always include a little bit of First Nation material, a little bit of French Canadian material, etc., to give proportional representation to our minority groups as well, and support their culture and heritage too.

As a Canadian consumer, it means that if you truly didn't like Canadian content, maybe you'd need to explicitly seek out non-canadian content, or non-canadian content recommendations. I could see it be an explicit opt-out setting, or having to explicitly switch to the American or some other endpoint.

Maybe I'm patriotic, but ya, I do value those things. And I would want the default in Canada for broadcasters to prioritize a certain amount of Canadian content with proportional representation to our various minority/majority groups.
When logged in on the balance page it says: "DO NOT DEPOSIT TO PREVIOUSLY PROVIDED BITCOIN DEPOSIT ADDRESSES. Deposits sent to previous address will not be honored. New deposit addresses are forthcoming.".
I imagine this problem is much worse at large, highly paid, highly desirable companies. My experience in hiring at smaller companies has not shown this. I've never had a candidate with 10+ years of experience who couldn't code.
Pence should invoke the 25th amendment and remove Trump from office. That would end this constitutional crisis.
