Objectivity is a difficult thing. When you see posts like this it's usually people who don't belong to the Republican or Democratic party who get to observe both in a light which they have limited or no biases because their own political wants are never met. Anybody who participates in a riot deserves accountability, anybody who takes over/storms/whatever verb of the day you prefer any government institution is participating in insurrection/domestic terrorism and deserves to be held to account.

If you make excuses for these people, engage in hyperbole/exaggeration/dismissal, parrot narratives mindlessly, or gossip on twitter then you are contributing to a system which helps these people, groups, and institutions avoid accountability and makes us all worse off for it. We will never have a stable nation as long as any of these people do not understand the error of their ways. Immediately after this storming of the Capitol I watched liberals parrot narratives saying the "Capitol Police let them in!" and yet [0] we now have stories of how a Capitol Police officer died after trying to defend the Capitol. I watched conservatives make up all kind of rosy views about the storming of the capitol and yet ignored they were prompted by Donald Trump and his obsession with maintaining power. You're all wrong.

For wind, take a look at the companies in the FAN ETF. There's a similar one for PV: TAN ETF. Great puns, really.
Always nice to see optical processors in the news.

How do the 10 TeraOPs/s on this compare to the 11 on the Apple M1?
Just because Apple forces you download Safari for (presently) Safari only demos doesn't mean it's any less open.

Yes it does. Those demos partially worked in Chrome and Opera yet they did not allow those browsers. The should have allowed you to view them in other browsers and stated that safari is the only one to 100% properly display them. Although they also should have included the -moz and -o prefixes. Till then its not open. Its a closed implementation.
Yes he paid the 10%. He likes to play with rules I don't like: Free Parking pot, double money for landing on Go, and no even build rule. So he may have been lucky and I may have been unlucky. He took a chance and it could have paid off for him. Either way it was probably going to be a short game.
It seems broken for me; if I go to the url, bonchat treats it like a new chat each time, prompting for a password and my name.
anybody else think its hilarious that this comment gets downvoted to oblivion?
I certainly wasn't trying to debate the value of mt_rand or it's implementation of the Mersenne Twister. I was simply trying to point out this is an extremely old issue, and that the problem specified in the article (a visible problem with rand()) is removed by using mt_rand(). Also, the issue only occurs due to problems with the PRNG on Windows specifically and was not present on other operating systems. The use of php's rand() or mt_rand() for applications that require security seems to be outside the scope of the article as it was presented since the author didn't necessarily understand the topic as can be seen by his proposed solutions.
An interesting idea (I'm sort of involved in this space), but I'd be a bit worried about the legalities involved.

A few years back there was a case where a group of companies (I think in the construction sector) were prosecuted for operating a cartel because they co-operated in developing a blacklist of "trouble-maker" employees (as a do-not-hire list).
The FTC "has not endorsed the idea of making any policy recommendation or recommended any of the proposals in the discussion draft"

Concerned about them pfft they need to be locked up.

Zuckerberg level mindless ambition wastes everyones time and energy. He has no clue what outcomes his network is going to produce tomorrow morning but stands around acting as if what comes out of his head matters. Its like watching the guy in Jurassic Park still believing things can be fixed after the kids are missing, the power is gone and the raptors have escaped.

Its really mind boggling the patience people have show this buffoon running essentially an unapproved social psyc experiment on 2 billion lab rats, imposing a half baked reward system, that amplifies randomness.
This actually sums up my feeling when read the NYT article: reporter wades into a sub-culture only kind of understands what is going on but sees words and reports on them for the "general" audience. The article feels very... surface level, like the reporter didn't really read much of the blog or didn't think it was worth engaging with. The meat of the story is linking to prominent tech figures and the blog is this curiosity side piece that links the two.
How do you explain the 50km wakes?
> You seem to think prices and wages are set in stone by the gods or ideal free markets.

I don't. I think prices and wages ought to be privately negotiated between consumers and producers, and employees and employers respectively. I also think that people are no more entitled to goods, employment or services from other people than they are to romantic relationships, which clearly need to be consensual.

Healthcare in the US is extremely heavily regulated, that's why it's so expensive. The minimum quality of care is absurdly high. There's no budget option. If you want any medical care, you have to see a physician with an ridiculously expensive education, the supply of which has been artificially limited by regulatory capture.

This is all highly unethical. If you need a simple procedure, why can't someone with the equivalent of technician training do it for much cheaper? Again, this would be a consensual interaction between two parties, which is nobody's buiness but their own.

> If we took on your Darwinian model, then its a very simple negotiation - life-saving medicines or surgeries are worth infinity, because otherwise you die. So if you ever need either of those, the doctors will simply ask for every single dollar and asset you have in perpetuity, easy.

This just totally ignores the idea of competition. If some doctors are charging infinity, then others would realize they could capture market share by charging less than that. The veterenary comparison is very apt, why should human healthcare work any differently?
Tip Top ice cream is a dead giveaway that this is a New Zealand product. Also very good ice cream.
Y'all can attack the messenger, make light of it, dismiss it, but fact is that antidemocratic forces in America are gaining funding, influence and power. There is an honest to goodness conspiracy among powerful silicon valley elites led by Thiel to spread these ideas and subvert our democracy. With slogans like "we're a republic not a democracy", and justification for policies like voter suppression and gerymandering they've succeeded in shifting the overton window and convincing many Republicans that democracy is bad. These are dangerous ideas that will lead to violence. I am personally willing to die for democracy.
Yet you use a word to label people's belief like religion as somehow protected. I'm not the one giving it a label. You are. I'm simply asking you to explain what you mean by the label you use which is the label of religion.

And harm isn't necessary in the DSM 5. Where are you pulling that idea from? Which part of the wording specifically? I'm referring to delusion disorder.
Well that's pretty scary. I can see one application of this already: casinos in the US are legally prohibited from recording audio on their floors, but have perfectly positioned cameras everywhere. Beyond that, I'm guessing every spy agency on earth will be buying solutions based on this.

It would be interesting to know what the genesis of this project was - for example if the NSA or CIA was involved in suggesting to a professor that MIT take a look at this area. This is a very mission-specific technology.

I'm a bit reluctant to give access, but I already do for TripIt, the e-mail account these go to isn't particularly sensitive. With other accounts it'd definitely be a no-go, so an alternative means (i.e. a forwarding address) would be awesome.
I've been doing this for years. Unfortunately, my upgrade from some ancient fedora to linux mint cinnamon 17.1 reduced the effectiveness of my xeon box as a space heater.

Perhaps if I mined bitcoins on it, it would keep my room toasty warm. But just listening to music doesn't work anymore. With that old fedora, if I fell asleep with the door and window shut I would awaken drenched in sweat.
What would actually happen ? heat reduction under the panel will surely be a big change. Maybe it would allow an ecosystem to develop, being detrimental to the panel grid. Maybe it they will just share space nicely.
These responses prove my exact point.

Do you mean r/conservative? Because r/politics usually has a ton of opposing views usually buried under downvotes, not removed.
Incredible moves, GG.

Of all the various banks I've seen today, One Financial was the best looking one. https://www.onefinance.com
Ive had this idea kicking around for over a decade to make ceramic or granite slabs of sufficient dimensions as demonstrated by artifacts found from archeological digs so as to withstand elements and time and etch the surfaces of sufficient depth so as to maintain their features and then have an analog projection apparatus that uses sunlight so as to magnify the feature, also constructed of similar means. Design the components all open source buy plots in cemeteries around the world and any where else that wont be subducted via techtonics in any time soon and just bury wikipedia or whatever else. The Long now meets that scene in the time machine basically. All in the hopes of confronting this exact scenario you’ve outlined.
> AI algorithms _need_ bias to work. This is the bias-variance trade off: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bias–variance_tradeoff

To be clear, statistical bias is in fact distinct from the colloquial term ‘bias’ most people use - but they can be interpreted similarly if given the proper context (which you did)
Why, what would have happened if they hadn't? Say they promised it for some time, and then don't deliver on time. Then what?
I don't use credit cards. But yours is a fair concern, maybe it impacts some hidden rating. I have had my account banned from a third party steam game seller no questions asked; no trouble.
What is your workflow to use OSM? With an app, or do you prepare a map specifically? A special device? Thanks!
I look at information primarily in chunks, i'll scan the chunks(not the text or details) and that determines whether I should read. For some reason it's harder for me to do that with the right. SO the right becomes a mess to me and cognitive effort to read. I do however, have dyslexia if that would make a difference. The left for me was fab!
The limited amount of Chinese that I learned and remember from a multi-week workshop that I attended in 4th grade has been more useful than whatever else would have been done during that time.

After having a child, I've become far more conscious of people who have lots of concerns about everyone's children. If learning Gaelic or Navaho instead of something else is a problem, it's not one that I'm worried about. Well rounded education is more important to me.
Am I the only one who thinks that the margins of the right one are far worse?They almost negate the better structure.
Mr. Dreyfuss goes to Washington http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0302820/ has a long section on the Lincoln Memorial. Highly recommended viewing.
Colorado's always been pretty great. Scenic, with outdoorsy, mellow people. However, the conclusion of the Graff report sounds like parroting of common theory.

Only in the past few years has it started to be thought of as a money and startup hub. What's different about Colorado then everywhere else? Particularly in agriculture? What's changed in the last couple years? What has become so high value that there would be a strong desire for constant drone overwatch?

Oh yeah... Pot.

What makes it a startup hub? Duh. A strong cultural / legal difference that doesn't exist elsewhere and creates a powerful money gradient across its borders. Investors see more potential for profit or new ideas for profit or new environments for profit, and swarm with green in their eyes.
(Disclaimer: I am Irish, and I do not agree with the mandatory nature of Irish lessons.)

The fact that 12-13 years of taking Irish classes daily leads to most Irish people having a few words and phrases is a damning indictment of our education system. It is also a perfect example of how saving a language that has fallen out of use is incredibly difficult. All that effort teaching a language to a country and, because it is almost never used outside of the Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking areas, mostly in the west of the country) it has been my experience that most people very rapidly lose their ability in Irish after leaving school.

I have long held the position that forcing children to learn a dead (or at the very least, on advanced life support) language is doing more harm than good. It instilled antipathy towards Irish more than love for Irish in my peers. Making it an optional subject would mean only people who cared would study it, and they would perhaps be more likely to try and use it.
I think YOU have not read the information behind the link. Literally the first section:

> Caly et al. at Monash University in Australia recently published a paper in Antiviral Research, reporting that ivermectin, a medication widely used for the treatment of certain parasitic diseases in humans and livestock animals, inhibits the replication of SARS-CoV-2 in cell culture (Caly et al., 2020). *Despite the authors' cautious conclusion that ivermectin "warrants further investigation for possible benefits in humans,"* the paper has excited widespread interest on medical and veterinary websites, which often incorrectly describe the drug as a treatment or cure for COVID-19. These inappropriate statements led to a warning by the US FDA, that *ivermectin in veterinary products should not be used for human therapy*

The letters and the author of the original paper all seem to be concerned about the dosage being higher than what is used to treat parasites and the amount could potentially be toxic which in their words: "important reason to be very cautious in considering ivermectin as a therapeutic for viral infection in human patients."

Again I ask you to help me with finding the section that says the drug fails to meet criteria for further studies?

EDIT: I tried to highlight the interesting points, but I can't figure it out so I will just put the two quotes here:

1. Despite the authors' cautious conclusion that ivermectin "warrants further investigation for possible benefits in humans,"

2. ivermectin in veterinary products should not be used for human therapy
Looks good, newsletter signup ?
You think that was a mistake, huh?
I'm developing a mobile game in Godot that would require thousands of nodes. The lowest hanging fruit optimization is simply ditching GDScript and nodes altogether for a C++ module or GDNative. ECS imo is a requirement for non-trivial games, and I don't think any game editor has it together here because of the tendency to prioritize accessible fast iteration in early stages over performance and scalability. So they stay in the comfort zone of scene tree hierarchical representation. I'm planning to move to Jai or build a PureRef-like visual ecs editor with libclang ast reflection and hot reloading so I can escape.
Hm can it be estimated / is there public information about how many phone numbers are taken? E.g. I generate a valid number for one country or state, how likely is it that the number is in use or registered?

I once got a phone call from a university student for a survey for their project and they told me they generate them randomly which makes me really wonder, how likely is it?
A share offering doesn't make existing stockholdings worth less. Usually, they benefit, because it gives the company increased working capital to invest in projects.
So you think hiring a nanny should have special tax benefits vs e.g. paying a daycare? You realize daycares also pay the same payroll tax, should daycare patrons be able to deduct the daycare's taxes too?
Don't have to be a top player, to be gambling?
Please don't do this here. HN threads are supposed to be conversations, and you wouldn't read an entire article into a conversation.
Another pain point for me: when I send an SMS to someone, I expect to get replies on SMS not on Signal. Don't try to replace SMS. It's just really annoying to have half the conversation in the text messages app and the other half in Signal app.
Russ, if this is what the talk was answering, is that really the question? I think the simpler answer to the grandparent post is: yes.

The closing keynote to the second GoLang conference, where all the keynotes were Google employees?

Asking about Go's reliance on Google deserves a better answer than your Groups thread, or this HN post. I love your writing in the post you linked, but a technical response on process still doesn't say anything about Google The Corporation's influence. Would you try again?
What is up with the privacy policy and data usage? The app store information says this:

---
App Privacy

The developer, Wikimedia CH, has not provided details about its privacy practices and handling of data to Apple. For more information, see the developer’s privacy policy.

----

... then you click the link for "developer's privacy policy" and it goes to a 404 at
http://www.kiwix.org/impressum/

... then you go find the privacy policy on the website at https://www.kiwix.org/en/legal/privacy-policy/ and it says:

"This privacy policy applies to the website www.kiwix.org only. It does not cover our subsites like wiki.kiwix.org or download.kiwix.org."
Interesting how in these kinds of articles where it is a couple getting arrested....they always list the guy first and the women second...it gives the impression the guy is more guilty and the ringleader....
Hmm, maybe I subconsciously got it from Reddit.

Well then the USA can be a pioneer again in something, mitigated greed via sane laws and requirements to prevent billions in damage and wildlife needlessly lost.

Just imagine if we get hit by ANOTHER one of these in the next decade, and here's hoping no major hurricanes this summer.
It's a shorthand term for "hokey religions, mystical mumbo-jumbo, pseudoscience, quack medicine and magic". Not sure of the derivation - I'm guessing it's from "woo", the stereotypical ghost noise.
Yes! Why doesn't Apple just let every browser run it and see how superior Safari is in term of HTML5 support? The answer is: Listen up, people! Download our Safari now! Time to ditch your IE, Opera, FF & Chrome!..

Oh, get a life! How mean you always are, Apple!
My uncle (blacksmith/inventor) is pretty certain that step 1 (cutting the pipe) was a mistake, as he had a solution (which he e-mailed to BP, which of course ignored it) which involved the pipe (and a clamp).

OTOH he doesn't have data on the exact pressures and forces involved, so BP probably had far better information on which to act. (and it's far easier to be an armchair engineer!)
There are a whole boatload of awesome podcasts available at the Australian ABC Radio National. They're all extremely accessible and quite thought provoking.

The following two are fairly Australian-based, but quite interesting if you're into this sort of thing:

You know it is quite crazy calling electricty ecologically compatible, if produced by industrial waste and unethical factory farming (the power generated on giant solarplants at the roof of battery farms and the biogas produced by the waste of feedlots).
Did you read it? I get pretty much the exact opposite of "school is stupid, everyone should drop out and start companies!"

When we first started Y Combinator we encouraged people to start startups while they were still in college. That's partly because Y Combinator began as a kind of summer program. We've kept the program shape—all of us having dinner together once a week turns out to be a good idea—but we've decided now that the party line should be to tell people to wait till they graduate.
Even if the Americans do decide that the president has the authority to "kill the internet", they get to use this power exactly once.

Then the rest of the world routes around it and doesn't let the US become a single point of failure again.

The reasonable side of the argument is that what they really want to be able to do is air-gap the US should it find itself under attack by the rest of the internet. Unfortunately, right now, so much of the internet routes through the US that doing this is almost the same thing as shutting down the internet.
I think that would be a good start. Then again, I also don't think it should have been so trivial for infiltrators to access content on congressional computing devices in the first place, even with physical access.

I'm not sure about other devices in the building, but there's plenty of stuff going around about Pelosi's laptop in her office. Was it just left unlocked and unattended? Did it even have an OS password? If it did, was that password written down somewhere such that infiltrators could easily access it?

Replacing all of the compromised tech is a good start, but clearly we need to hold our politicians to a higher standard when it comes to securing their devices.
That's not an argument, it's a claim. And it also is shifting the goalpost from the original post, but you're not the same person so that seems fair.
Nah. I watched a four-year-old nephew basically go 3+ days without eating anything (long weekend in a cabin). There can be other things at play.
Only for certain types of ssl errors. The advanced button has been removed from some of the error pages.

*Although it's mostly been chrome. I did at least see it on Firefox while att tried to MitM errors during a recent outage.

I believe the recent att router bit-flipping issue resulted in the same.
The MSM can't be compared to QAnon and OANN related media. One has professional standards, the other starts conspiracy theories.
Best definition of bitcoin:

Bitcoin is a non-sovereign, hard-capped supply, global, immutable, decentralized digital store of value. It’s an insurance policy against monetary and fiscal policy irresponsibility from central banks and governments globally.
