That standard argument is a myth simply used to shape opinion in the context of a shortage of masks, to redirect the existing one to health care workers.

In countries where the epidemic is controlled, pretty much everybody wear masks, including handcrafted one in case of shortage. The goal is not to prevent from being infected, but to prevent infecting other, by limiting the amount of saliva you spread everywhere. Especially since tons of carriers are asymptomatic, or starting to be contagious before becoming symptomatic. And even a poor mask in front of your mouth is better than nothing, at least if everybody wears one, and if you don't become careless on other measures (distancing, washing the hands, etc.)

So there is an availability and potentially a cultural problem, but that can and should be fixed. Because this will be far less costly than infinite lockdowns.
For what it’s worth, I currently have about 160 unique logins. I should probably delete some of them. They all of course have different passwords. 148 of them are stored in a password manager and about a dozen are stored only on paper, kept in a safe place.
upvote for terries getting froggy, is that from key and peele?
What Manning did was stupid. And while I agree that 35 years is harsh (mostly because I don't believe in prison terms above 5 years) he leaked a lot of stuff, not all of it related to warcrimes.

The 1.5 gigabyte unecrypted file is in the torrents so you could take a look to see what is inside - if it is legal under your jurisdiction.

Also WikiLeaks didn't released all cables that he gave them against - so he failed on that front too.

He also didn't make a dead man's switch that he could leak additional material in case he is captured or convicted - that to use as bargaining chip.

He called himself Bradass83 as a nickname and approached a hacker on im program.

So - he leaked too much, too nondiscriminatory, failed to it properly and was behaving amateurish.

Can someone change the title to:

“Yandex, Mail.ru Group, and Rambler will deindex domains that have 100 links to pirated content starting September 2022”
i also had a recent bout, probably omicron. 2 days of fever and fatigue, and then a couple days of light coughing to get all the resultant phlegm out.

the kicker is that i feel better afterwards, due to the fever (i'm guessing) also clearing out a lingering cardiopulmonary issue (perhaps from a pneumonia bout a few years prior) that had gotten progressively worse during lockdowns (when gyms were closed for months).

getting covid was a net gain for me.

This is where Bayesian inference really signs.

For the security guard, hearing a single noise is likely to be nothing. However, what if you heard two noises, and the sound of tires outside?

Same thing with the doctor. Most good doctor's I know have a sixth sense, about when something is off and needs further tests beyond just take an aspirin. So maybe the person had a stomach ache, and they had lost some weight, and they were looking a little yellow. All of a sudden the probabilities start looking a lot different.

Partisan participation in the election process.
That's such a sad view, especially to hold in a generally curious place like HN. Another example is narcotics, yes we know that most narcotics usage is bad, but does that mean all usage of narcotics is bad? Obviously not, and we take those articles as they come, and discuss the angles each article has independently, in most cases at least. But somehow cryptocurrencies are so emotional for most people, that they hold such a black/white view of it.

We can, and should discuss subjects without "tainting" them with general, over-discussed points when we can, especially if we want to keep HN curious and not turn into a echo-chamber.
The degree to which swapping hurts responsiveness depends a lot on why and how it occurs.

If swapping just means moving large contiguous pages that are completely inactive, it's a bunch of writes which neither slows hot memory access nor the ssd.

If, on the other hand, you're swapping out pages that frequently need to be re-read, that's another story.

So if swapping works well, that's to some degree a sign that your software has bloated "dead" memory regions.

Where does the data come from?

Oops!
AppStore can be a good traction for getting people to use it, which is a chicken/egg problem for this app. I'll try to make it work on the web ASAP.

There are probably message boards full of snarky, or perhaps civil, users who would be glad to tell you what's wrong with any idea you propose (discussions on halfbakery.com often go this way, though it seems to be generally expected that the cunning plan hasn't been fully thought through). Would this service be meant to focus the naysaying discussion to users with known credentials?
All (but not only) people with good people skills and zero productivity would be motivated to say this.

Edit: I think I might have misunderstood what palish meant by "By how fun they are." to exclude productivity and focus entirely on personality. My mistake, if so.

Interesting.

For me, the data shows a lot of where I've been, but with only the sort of accuracy (and errors) you'd expect from tower triangulation.

It also misses some places that I frequent entirely (eg: it has almost no hits near my weekend house or some of the local places there my wife and I visit). Similarly shows no hits in the Pacific Northwest for me, but did seem to track my Vegas and Santa Barbara trips pretty well (though again with highly scattered accuracy).

Maybe it's just me, but I'm having trouble feeling very "violated" by this. If you were to look at my map, I think you could tell the area of the country where I live/work, but probably couldn't pick out my house or office with much accuracy (unless there are underlying timestamps the map doesn't show).
Absolutely!

I am yet to appreciate Rich Hickey's now famous "Simple Made Easy". While I agree with his points, I don't understand the significance of it. Simpler is easier than complex, right? Even the title said "simple-made-easy". What is the fuss about emphasizing "Simple is erroneously mistaken for easy"? They are not the same, but they are intimately related. Or is this an emphasis on relative vs absolute -- that relative simple can still be relatively not easy?

I don't think I misunderstood Rich Hickey, and I don't think I disagree. But I don't understand why people quote the opening sentence and feel so significant for them? To me, that is just a click-bate.

Spending more on AWS to increase reliability isn't necessarily a benefit to Amazon. The increased costs can them less competative.
A radical transformation, really? To me it seems more like a small step, just changing the payment model a little bit and making it a bit more convenient to provision more instances.
I don't know if you were asking a rhetorical question, but my opinion is that if you were in court under those circumstances, it's likely you are going to jail. If the FBI finds out you talked, you will be jailed [as I presume that's the threat]; if the court finds out you lied, you will be jailed for perjury. Only if you perjure yourself but don't get caught will you escape.

I love your voice though.
One big difference between PayPal and Google Checkout has to do with your users signing up for an account on their system. For Google Checkout, your users will also need to have a Google Checkout id before they can complete a payment. On PayPal Website Payments Standard (and I believe Pro as well) they can pay by credit card without being forced to create a PayPal account or log in to PayPal itself.

In this article,

http://www.t-nation.com/free_online_article/sports_body_trai...

It claims that your body can only synthesize about 2 pounds of dry muscle mass per month.

34 pounds in 28 days is roughly a pound of muscle per day. I've always found myself wanting more evidence to back that up, or even just seeing more examples of people saying they've done that. The closest I've heard to getting that kind of result are people who add drinking a gallon of milk in addition their regular diet, and even then they gain a fair amount of fat in addition to muscle and it's way less than that number.
I look in on this stuff from the enterprise side of things with interest. I want to get out of the business of hosting an internal datacenter entirely as soon as possible (that decades old, and apparently intractable AS400 accounting system notwithstanding), and would prefer to move things cloudward. Right now though, it seems that we are either limited to niche players or proprietary solutions(AWS, etc.), and the risk of being held hostage by an underperforming vendor remains high. We are experimenting with certain applications (CRM, for example) being hosted in the cloud. Until there is a standard cloud-hosting platform, with multiple large players offering services that would allow us to very simply move from one service to another without redisigning major parts of applications there won't be much movement to the cloud in our space. (part of this is a legacy of horrendous application design in the enterprise space, part of it is just the natural legacy of having much older legacy applications than web companies do, and part of it is a reflection of large organizations being terribly risk averse.)
I played through Braid just fine with just a keyboard. Great game, by the way; I highly recommend it.
Good idea. Wrong target. What we really need to do is equip all non-combatants with smart phones and provide them with free service. Secularize them overnight and end the war.
I wasn't aiming for a perfect analogy but it stands up better to scrutiny than you assume also. The car is owned by you just as the music is - you can assume that music can not be owned, but the sorts of arguments that work there also work for cars (which is fine by me, I've got a communist streak in me for sure). The important point is that you are in control of the car except for forced use against the law (in most jurisdictions) just as you are in control of the music excepting illegal (OK tortuous) use.

I wasn't saying that the music could be stolen, just taken in a way that is against the law. Equally the car can be "borrowed" it can be taken without denying you use - we still find it illegal even if your car is taken against your will when you wouldn't have otherwise be using it (perhaps this is wrong but I wasn't expanding the locus to consider alternate legal/societal structures). This speaks then to your final point.

You deliberately scope the use of copyright works without permission as "sharing" because this is almost always used in a positive sense. Well taking your car without asking is also sharing if you wish to spin it that way; I didn't say they damaged the vehicle, you still can have it later when you wish to use it.

For sure the analogy breaks down but not as badly as you portrayed.

You may have been attempting to withhold moral judgement but your tone conveyed the sense that the onus is with the creator of artistic works, the copyright holder, to hide their work and not with the public to not rip off that work. Note that we as a society (at least those countries that are democratic and signed up to Berne Convention and TRIPS IP provisions) have made a deal that we will protect creators of artistic works from being ripped off and ensure they get paid fairly as long as they will release their works to the public domain after a given period but before that we will enable them to enforce a monopoly on control of those works. This deal has been sullied over time by big business but it's still in place.

Yes, if no one can be trusted to keep to their promises or indeed to obey the law then it's naive to assume the law will be obeyed. I'm not at that place where I assume everyone in a democracy is so uncivilised and self-seeking that they care nothing for the rule of law.
Respect for our history is something that helps keeps a perspective on the future.

Alan Touring was a martyr to both the Computer industry and the War effort. He dies because his society would prefer to villanize his personal life (Which had no effect on others) rather then laud his achievements, and that's something we should never tolerate.

(a) using third party apps instead of the banking system itself is a workaround, not a solution. especially as those apps demand fees.

(b) cheques have been deprecated and stopped being accepted in the EU in 2004.

It solves the same issue as paypal, cash, venmo, etc, except the receiver can immediately use the money for any and all purposes, without fees, without yet another third party app.

This in turn allows new third party apps to be built on top of the new infrastructure.
Minecraft comes to mind.
that's also my experience. when they're so far gone there is no amount of logic walking them back to reason. in my particular example the mistakes didn't make them act more rationally/logically and the money they lost was always blamed on the engineers (or other managers) who then got replaced (more employee turnover making the situation ever more desperate). They continued to throw money at upwork (reasoning it with "we need to hire more people so we can get the MVP finally finished"). What they never understood was that they were throwing good money after bad for 3 years (they spent USD 2MM and still had no MVP).
I tend to agree with you that pragmatism wins the day where the Rpi is concerned.

However, the lack of open hardware for the Rpi means that it is not possible to replicate one at all. You basically can't make a Rpi-compatible board to suit your own needs.

It isn't the fault of the Rpi fundation, it's the sorry lack of openness in electronics hardware that is to blame. Chip manufacturers license lots of IP from each other and I doubt we'll ever see a truly open microprocessor/controller that would have all its features accessible without restriction.

We can hope that one day a RISC V implementation could be open, but then the GPU, controllers, etc would also need to be unencumbered.

Of course, it would be possible for chip manufacturers to allow this licensing -maybe to the detriment of the cost of the chip- but it would need to really be profitable for them to go through the 'hassle'.

After all, the die doesn't need to be open, we only need open access to all the functionalities of the chip.
It makes complete sense. You need a fiat ramp to get into the crypto ecosystem. You want the fiat ramp to be regulated.
We (stannp.com) created an app for the shopify marketplace some time ago which helped shops send letters and postcards to their customers. The app would sync recipients with our platform or trigger mail to be posted. The shopify rep said we had to implement their billing API on across our whole platform so they get a 30% (i'm sure it was 30% back then) cut on all transactions. It drove me crazy because I saw mailchip in the marketplace and I'm pretty sure they didn't implement the shopify billing API and give 30% for their subscriptions.
Over my life I have dealt with over a thousand wire transfers including international, both business and personal with over a dozen banks. So yes, I can pretty definitively say when something does not match the reality.

The delay in the international wires that are a feature ( 1-3 business days ) have nothing in common with the 20% arbitrary delay of unknown duration that you have promoted. That's the 20% delay that would collapse the world financial system.
The F-35 may be a Ferrari; but the thing about Ferraris is that their technology trickles down.

Wait a second. The F35 was supposed to be the trickled-down thing from the F22.
That might be true in general, but this is a forum full of highly technical people. At the end of the day, doing basic Astro is not rocket science, and if OP is into photography they might be more interested in buying a small tracking mount for their DSLR than a telescope.

For 99$ this is something that doesn't even require you to be some hedge fund brat to use. Not sure what the current cab prices are these days, but i remember paying about i think 80$ for a cab from JFK to central Manhattan. You can get it a bit cheaper if you book a car service instead of grabbing a cab from the airport but it's still not sums that would break anyone's pocket.

A taxi from central London to Heathrow can easily cost 90 quid unless it's a booked minicab which then drops it to 40-60 quid, you can take the heathrow express but thats also 40 quid both ways + additional fare to get to paddington.

I would love to use this service both for the speed and the experience (unlike the scenic traffic jam you get otherwise) just to get a sky high tour of NYC...

Too bad it's never gonna scale, there probably will be huge limits on the amount of luggage you can take (which will make it either very expensive or completely unusable for international travelers) and the costs are going to go trough the roof quick enough.
I agree with you about being hesitant to support FSF. I think that they should primary working on providing free software alternatives to closed software, not to fight closed software or promote dislike towards them.
There's a certain irony in what you just wrote.
ok then.

Anyone have an existing list of competitors? I remember seeing some being promoted here?
Our product development was almost stalled for months on end.

Then you're doing something wrong.

Scaling, debugging, refactoring, customer support, prospect interaction, and even raising investment must all be done in support of product development, not instead of product development.

I am a notorious single tasker who loves coding more than anything else, so I used to have the same problem. If some other task took priority, all product development stopped.

Until a artist friend of mine told me the secret of his success, 4 words I have never forgotten, "I paint every day."

Now I code every day. No matter what else happens.

With 3 of you, I would expect that at least one of you could keep building something every day without any of you dropping any of the other eggs you must juggle.

The OP's one-hour recipe is strictly better for a pure static site, because it's substantially cheaper than shared hosting (which is $5/mo, github pages is free). Note that shared hosting provides persistent compute/store capability, which this project doesn't need.
It is if I use it as a verb. Now go away and find something worthwhile to rant about.

If you open up the IPA, you'll see that basically they've recreated some anroid-xml compatible rendering engine.

The localization files (50MB) -> All the strings files are double the size (unpacked), because of useless comments.
There's 25MB already.

In the assets catalog -> half an MB for an upscaled (!) visa card.
Other images where jpgs of heif are a better choice. probably in total 10-20 mb.

Strip all ICC/Gamma from the PNGS -> another 10mb.

pngcrush the images -> about 40%

And then of course the binary itself which is probably full of unused information.
