I propose those who say this doesn't work and "2 grams will kill you" simply tell their doctors to not prescribe the drug, and let the dice fall as they may. You don't have to take it. This will put the current controversy to bed pretty quickly if death rate with is lower than death rate without, which we'll see in as little as 2 weeks. If everyone takes it it'll be much harder to see if it's effective.
SideProjectors has been a long and continuing project that I work on.

https://www.sideprojectors.com

It's a marketplace for people to sell & buy their side projects. It started as a hackathon project and morphed itself into a community of its own.
Which is why I honestly don't understand why the mainstream media isn't saying "do what Korea /Japan did". Other countries have handled this admirably (e.g. Taiwan and Singapore), but Korea and Japan are larger and had very sudden upward trajectories in infection rates. Both countries acted decisively and they got this under control incredibly quick and with minimal loss of life, all without resorting to extreme authoritarian measures.

What China did is not something that other countries may want to replicate, but we should all be replicating the Korean and Japanese measures. Actually we should have been doing it weeks ago instead of pretending that if we didn't test then there would be no cases.
I believe Patrick was suggesting he negotiate with potential future employers for a fair salary, not with his current employer.
That's good advice -- to start laying the foundation for a good transition from a limerent relationship to a companionate one, but isn't it very possible to have another limerent object while you're already in a companionate relationship with one? That's a troubling thought. I would like to hear your thoughts on this.
I just did, and all of those are served from fbcdn.net.
That looks like a lot of fun. Hopefully it will forever remain only a marketing ploy. I would not trust the majority of people to ride/drive it. It would also be a liability issue for the store, going that much faster is perhaps a bad thing, it looks like fun and everybody does it until somebody eventually breaks a couple limbs and sues the store to death.

In the end:
Most customers love it
or or two die/are badly injured
Store/chain starts requiring liability wavers to enter
Store/chain gets sued anyway and the entire thing goes out of business.
Seems like a cool idea, and I can definitely see this working for the non-smartphone market, especially with people like my dad, who's company still issues a non-smartphone company phone.

However, by far the biggest red flag for me is that there is no About page or any description of what actually happens. Is there a web interface for me to login to after I've got some expenses logged? Or is it purely a phone-driven interface? Some screenshots, or maybe a diagram of the process would be essential here.
pyspf (Google it) will do SPF checking for you. If you'd rather do it yourself, SPF is really, really simple to validate in your language of choice. However, not everybody uses SPF.

As for "validating" the rest of the email headers, well... I want to strike a balance between "sure you can do that, good luck!" and "the entire anti-spam community has tried this and it is basically impossible, which is why we rely heavily on IP reputation and Bayes-based approaches which do not treat the contents of the headers as semantically meaningful, since they are in the hands of the enemy".

It's funny but I don't feel the information was in anyway useful or really interesting to me.

The fact it's marketing also makes me deeply suspicious that everyone in the video could be an actor. I don't see the UK / US with their litigation prone culture just letting this happen given the potential for collisions and so lawsuits.
At the beginning of April, I picked up a book called "The New Rules of Lifting". I like it, because it explains how to do a variety of exercises of six kinds: squat, deadlift, lunge, push, pull, twist. Also, it describes a few programs, which I find very good for motivation as it gives you specific things to do on a regular basis.

When I started, I acquired a barbell, two dumbells, a swiss ball and about 80 pounds or so of plates. I quickly got a squat rack (just something simple; you can only lift so much up to your shoulders and drop it back down safely), but I only recently got a bench. I now have over 200 pounds of plates, which I got at a used-equipment store. I've found that you need a lot of weight for a) squats and b) so you can move from one exercise to another quickly without having to move plates from the bar to the dumbells.

I also got a "power gym": the pull-up device that hangs in a door frame. With slight modification to one of my door frames in the basement, I found it works pretty well.
Makes sense that the Seattle crowd would be into it (Amazon's backyard)...here in LA and on recent flights I've been on I've seen way more iPads than e-readers.
I lucked out at the last place I worked (a 50 person company): It was a suit-and-tie kind of environment, but the programming department (about 10 people) had our own closed-off section of the office with a Wii and a Street Fighter II arcade machine (which we used regularly).

It was weird because the rest of the company was run like you would expect a suit-and-tie place to be run, but we programmers were only graded on our results. We even used to take 1.5 hour (paid) lunches if we were ahead of schedule, and I even decided to start coming in at 10 instead of 8:30 since I would always stay until 7 pm or so (didn't ask anyone, and didn't get any guff from anyone about it).
Being depressed is not like being unhappy, it's like being dead. It's not sadness, or fear, or grief or any other normal human emotion. Grief and sadness are mental manifestations, and they have character and facets which may be approached and reasoned with. But depression is physical. It is the void, infinite and eternal, pounding incessantly from every single cell of your body. Terror and hopelessness, real emotions for sure, are just a side-effects of this physical sensation. There is no reasoning with depression, because it is entirely physical, and it often robs you of any faculties which you might otherwise muster to defeat it. The author is quite correct - it is deadly.

Well, actually you might if they monkeypatch some core class in incompatible ways.
early on, I did.

later on, right before the bubble burst, the place was totally over-funded and hired tons of people who didn't know what they were doing at a technical level. many of the people "in charge" (VP level, etc) were complete buffoons.

cronyism, nepotism, and incompetence ran rampant. there were many useless managers, directors, assistant directors, on and on. this was typical of companies of that era. this provided ample opportunity for goofing off.

Lab environments are places were you can play with machines -- eg. customer POC, product evaluation, training environments etc. The objective is to move those lab environments to the cloud, for certain customer use cases.

We use regular AMIs. What we do is add management around it to make it into the 'lab' type environment. For example, we offer policies to help control costs, we can allow you to share an AMI simply by sending an email and we offer a multi-user environment for all employees within a company. These are all features that aren't readily available in the off-the-shelf EC2 environment.
News to Greenwald, apparently. It's well known in the security and civil liberties communities.
I'll agree that many of Merkel's measures are not "socialist", but let's also keep perspective and realize that her measures do not shift the underlying social dynamics away from modern socialism's tenets, and that the changes appear as a general global trend of globalization and an aging population that makes maintaining the benefits more difficult than before.

Considering the fact that many countries have paid a much, much heftier price on their social welfare than Germany and have not improved substantially means that the balance need not shift as much as many people claim.
You could have a nuclear war near the datacenter where you host that broken software & container. I think it has a better probability to exist in a real world.
This is pretty much my experience. The site is read-only for a lot of people. I think I was rejected the other day because I didn't have the 50 reputation to comment on a reply that had other comments on an older question. They need to lessen restrictions that got too strict out of fear of the site becoming worthless. Right now the scales aren't balanced.
Thank you for bringing in the snippet.

To analyse its contents, I'll ask this: what's to say that a computer doesn't experience some very primitive form of consciousness? If we unplugged everything except the power cord, but left a complicated simulation running, it would still have something like "a rich inner life." Its peripherals and sensors give it a sense of a body and, with abstract drivers, a degree of conceptual separation from said hardware. Doubly so in the case of virtual machines. After all, we can't "truly" experience the same thing that a computer might from the inside, so who are we to doubt "computer consciousness?"

If the proponents of "The Hard Problem of Consciousness" can't give a quantified explanation of how to distinguish a theoretical computer consciousness from a human one, that raises the question of whether the problem actually exists.

For my part, I don't believe in consciousness as a concrete thing, only a label we use to group together quite a few disparate systems and phenomenon. It's the same way that I don't believe in "Ruby" as a concrete thing, but only in the unit tests, the sample code, the docs, and the thoughts in Matz's head that we subconsciously conflate.

Think about the holodeck from star trek. From an entertainment standpoint, you could immerse yourself in another world and solve a mystery. You could also learn all sorts of stuff with live instructions while working with physical tools when doing things like woodworking or electrical work etc.
I really hope the pinnacle of AR is not as intrusive and uncomfortable (for some) as placing plastic on my eyeball (this seems to be the goto for many people). Either equip the environment, give me eyewear (goggles, then lightweight glasses), and eventually (may be awhile) augmentation implants.
That's in the ballpark of the reasoning I expected. Thanks for the reply and the specific pointers. I tend to develop from the command line and have heretofore deployed manually, so I've found the subtle streamlining offered by VirtualEnvWrapper to be worthwhile. However, I think I'll try to go without it initially to reexamine its value under more automated deployment.

Also, this change would mostly serve as an incentive to ssh onto production servers, which is usually not going to be the optimal solution to issues that arise. I hadn't really thought about it this way until your comment.
> How about we actually use philosophical argument and not this weak wishy-washy stuff.

His argument is clearly based on the philosophical framework of Virtue Ethics. You can refer to the literature on that, if you want the arguments. Though I can tell you now, contextualism is quite orthogonal to Virtue Ethics.

FWIW, I don't think it's "wishy-washy" at all, definitely less so than stating "I'm against torture mostly, except for <contrived hypothetical situation>".

> I think to say "torture is always wrong" is just something to say to fit in socially.

This is just assuming bad faith. People that base their moral framework on things like Virtue Ethics definitely don't do it for social acceptance.

> I don't think you can make moral decisions about any action murder, theft, etc; there must be a contextual framework and hierarchy of values.

In theory, maybe. In practice, similarly to utilitarianism, it is completely unworkable. It's the wrong way out, morality is not a matter of engineering, fortunately there are other options.

That is really awesome. I can't wait for them to add more languages. And it's cheap... Anyone travelling would pay for it.
A sufficiently-smart spell-checker would be indistinguishable from a translation aide, sentiment analyzer, voice-recognition classifier, etc. Basically, whatever tech is required to make spell-checkers better has other uses than spell-checking, and those might be valuable.

Super interesting comparison.

From the Wikipedia article:

"...the company traded with Indianised Southeast Asian countries when the Dutch government granted it a 21-year monopoly on the Dutch spice trade."

It's a dumb comparison, I know, but it strikes me as similar to how Amazon wound up with a pseudo-monopoly on many goods during the pandemic as brick-and-mortars were shuttered.

And a quote in a quote from the article:

"The Dutch, it seems, more than anyone in the West since the palmy days of ancient Rome, had more money than they knew what to do with. They discovered, unlike the Romans, that the best use of money was to make more money."

Weirdly apropos.
Ummm... All WiFi devices adjust bitrate dynamically...

For a given amount of data to be transmitted, adjusting bitrate up and freeing the channel quicker is equivalent to using a lower power for more time. Either way the disadvantages to other spectrum users are equal.

In pinduoduo's case there are internal memos specifying the hours.
We've seen something similar at work where 2 or 3 people will come across an obscure bug in our code all in the same week. When looking into the root cause it turned out that the bug was created 18 months ago. So for 18 months it went unnoticed and then multiple people come across it pretty much at the same time. This has happened a few times and the people who found the bug were working on different things so it's not like they find it because they're working in the same area.
For starting out I'd recommend Clause and Effect by Clocksin. It's a very short but practical introduction with really good examples along the way (including symbolic differentiation and FFT).
> Martha Stewart? But that was securities fraud, the only true crime.

I don't think Martha Stewart is a billionaire.
Because even though it's personal stuff, it's shared between many computers. For people that live in VCSs all day, it's just more convenient (history, branches, etc.) than e.g. storing it on Dropbox or similar.
Mistake #0: not looking at the data.

Whether you're designing a processing pipeline or simply keeping track of what one is doing, decent visualization of inputs and outputs is critical to understanding what's going on and ensuring that nothing surprising is happening.

I'm always surprised when people come to me with data analysis problems (big or otherwise) and have never bothered to do any kind of visualization. Even if you're just visualizing sparse samples it's remarkable how easy it can be to spot issues.

Good visualization won't solve all your problems but there is a significant sub-set that go from hard to easy when you do it.
Hi, Flo, Co-founder of Codeship here, let me know if any questions come up. Great and fair comparison of the three services, thanks Alex.

Regarding Codeship in the Blog:

* We do support open source repositories for free. There is no limits on how many open source builds you can run

* We have a strong UI to set up deployment to various providers and build complex deployment pipelines (didn't dive
into that in the blog). The setup/test command ui is kept very simple deliberately as it's easy yet powerful through the web ui.

* Currently we don't support encrypted values, but that's a very important feature for us we want to get in soon

And we just launched a new Build details view yesterday which is much nicer than the old one. Currently talking to Alex to help him bring this into the Blogpost. There's also tons of new stuff coming up for us soon.

And they’re still less useful than the data last.fm makes available to you.
How about automatically honeypotting them? Add some code to your site that will IP ban a user that searches for some random string (and when I say random, I mean literally generate a random string - something no legit user would search for).

Then, setup a script on your laptop or whatever to search this string on their domains every half hour or so.

> "People who don't work full time should starve" is ideology, not some law of physics.

“People are entitled to other people’s labor” is ideology as well. However claiming that someone has been deprived of something that never existed in the first place is just nonsense.

> There is plenty. US GDP is trillions a year.

So you’re suggesting we deprive people of their income because of your ideology?

> Property law creates property ownership.

Negative, ownership creates property law.

> Ownership assigned to one person is deprived from others.

So how do you justify assigning ownership to certain people? What gives you the right to deprive people of their income?
Fact: You are conflating two separate instances where Trump bullied reporters to make your point.

I’m going to take this as a reminder that we should all carefully consider sources of information, even when those sources are our own recollections and experiences.
Maybe because HN is rational, and thus doesn't like the factual inaccuracies in your post? 1) There were no adjuvants used 2) Antibody response doesn't linearly correlate with protection. Many vaccines provoke a higher antibody response but much less efficacy compared to the Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine. 3) mRNA is an entirely new modality, it's not like people knew before-hand what would work, given point 2.

I don't think anyone is arguing that IF the booster is not needed, then we shouldn't double the vaccine supply. Consider the following risk however: There is such a thing called vaccine resistance. A weakly immunized patient becomes a training ground for novel variants of the virus that then starts spreading & vaccine doesn't work.

>While it wasn't that hard, general public does not know where to even look for primary or even preliminary evidence. Much less how to evaluate the densely written papers.

I feel like its much worse than that. All of current research is very specialized. I am not a scientist but I do work in vaccines. After having worked for the past eight years in this field, I feel I can generally get the gist of scientific articles/papers, and understand if its something useful or junk - but only in my niche areas. Outside of that, I'm pretty much your average Joe.
Nothing below is meant as criticism just an acknowledgment of the complexity of the space. I wish you all the luck!

> Most bundlers allows you to select an output format of the code, such as: "CommonJS", "AMD", "System", "UMD", "ES6", "ES2015" or "ESNext" FJB does not implement this concept.
Instead, FJB adapts the code automatically through static analysis. FJB aims to generate code that works everywhere (when possible). A bundler should be smart enough so that the developer can focus on other things. :brain:

That sounds nice. In practice other tools that make similar promises end up being a big ball of incompatibility and config and plugins. I hope this won’t happen here!

> TypeScript support (currently unstable and under development)

IMO this is make or break for any tool I’d consider and I’ve had enough trouble with ESBuild and SWC which don’t even warn about incompatibilities that I’m wary.
That's a good point, startups don't usually make the world a better place, but at least they generally don't seem to actively try to make it worse. And even if a startup were bad, it's very unlikely to be powerful enough to do damage on the scale a big financial institution could.
On the other hand, web programming is exceptionally easy...

No, it's not. The only thing easy in programming is writing trivial examples and small stuff like that. Writing a non-trivial program that has to be used by real users and is expected to have as few bugs as possible is not easy at all.
"punish"? As far as I know, you can't cash in karma for money or women. So I am not sure what you lose when you get downvoted to minus a billion.
It may be stating the obvious, but if you are founding a (tech) startup for the money, you are doing it for the wrong reason.
