More high end indie creations however aren’t they somewhat positioned at least to exploit any holes in YouTube’s strategy? This is one of those things where I feel like a real competitor will only sort of be able to creep up not explode on the scene. I always thought Vimeo had a decent chance here because it’s pretty easy (imo) to use just like YouTube and they have free tiers (or st least when I signed up they did)

This diagram is oddly selective about which airports it includes. It has some class D airports (Modesto, Santa Maria) but not others (Palo Alto, El Monte, Fullerton). There is no pattern that I can discern other than eliminating airports that are too close to each other, which kind of defeats the purpose of this exercise.
Phage therapy is as effective as antibiotics but it is not as convenient as chemotherapy.

One of the problems with phage therapy is precision. You have to know roughly what kind of bacteria is causing the infection. To know that it takes tests, and time, which cost money. Antibiotics on the other hand are broadspectrum and can be deployed without much prior knowledge (which is cheap, but also a problem that causes resistance).

The other problem is production and regulation. Antibiotics are chemical, phages are biological. It is much harder to produce a consistent safe product with a biologic compared. We don't have the infrastructure (yet) to mass produce viral phages for consumers.
It's such a shame there's no modern spiritual successor to Diablo / Diablo 2. The aesthetic and gameplay was great.
It's from six months ago, it is being posted now in an effort to cause people to over react. There are a lot of problems with government of all levels siloing their data so even though I don't agree with ICE I also don't see this as a problem.

Says the scammers. You are willfully ignorant here.

Your post did not consider the high likelihood that a container of product on "clearance" from north face is counterfeit.

My point is simple. We have to have less tolerance of the willful ignorance by scammers. The brand should not need to pursue this.

Stipe / Atlas CAN and SHOULD shut down merchants who exhibit characteristics of fraud. Amazon should shut down the fake apple product sellers.

And yes, my job interects with fraud / ripoff detection, and I've worked with folks like you. My advice to folks in business and elsewhere, someone that willfully ignorant is not someone you want to do business with.

Right, which is why we want to avoid functions as much as possible.

Fortunately, these filters aren't functions, so this doesn't complicate them, it makes them simpler.

This article is about the Mid-Miocene Climate Optimum, which was a period of 5 degrees C of warming about 15 million years ago. Another similar event is the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, which was a period of warming (6 degrees C in 20,000 years) about 55 million years ago. The PETM was in response to a massive increase in atmospheric CO2 (several times more than humans have added), though what caused the injection of CO2 is currently unknown. Interestingly, although during the PETM the Earth had no polar ice caps to begin with there was still a rise in sea levels simply due to the thermal expansion of the ocean. There was a great deep dive into the event on the podcast In Our Time by three climatologists: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08hpmmf

Also, if you check some of the citations that he lists for dangers of microwave-range radiation (you can click through to the full text of the article), they are things like studies of naval ships, in which the microwave radiation would be at much higher power levels than that which your Wi-Fi router is emitting.

> Massively overvalued Chinese startups fueled by unsustainable shadow debt taking isn't a recipe for success.

It may not be the cleanest or most efficient recipe for success, but whether it is or is not "a" recipe for success remains to be seen. There is more than one way to skin a cat as they say.

As for their massive debt, again that could be a problem, maybe even completely derail China and throw them back into chaos, but there's little reason to think that it must be a problem. As long as sufficient confidence can be maintained in the system and everyone keeps showing up to work each day, and trade continues flowing, how the results are divvied up at the end of the day in the short run is secondary to the longer term functionality of the overall system.
But, a large part of why people play, or at least started playing, was the possibility of being paid, in a currency they could actually use for stuff. What on earth would I be able to use HQ-coin on, other than to make the game easier for other people?

I'm reading almost near universal praise. Isn't this essentially a "back door" to location services, only accessible to law enforcement? Sounds ... familiar.

It gets worse/better(?)

Apple's upcoming 911 feature relies on technology from RapidSOS, a New York startup. The approach developed by Apple and RapidSOS sends location data from an iPhone to a "clearinghouse" accessible to emergency calling centers. Only the 911 calling centers will be able to see the data during the call, and none of it can be used for non-emergency purposes, according to Apple.

So Apple AND RapidSOS get to see my location when using 911? Cool cool.
They are great-circle arcs, but the presentation is a projected sphere, so the lines in the center will look straight because you're looking down on the curved part. Zoom out and look at the lines near the edges.
Your use of the word 'universally' is, IMO, part of the issue.

Your country is not the world or the universe, even if everyday language indicates that. Language use seems to affect subconscious behavior, even if not intended.

Anyway, my point is, you have been manipulated through your language.

Easy way to terminate instance from within it. Making sure you are terminating the right one without autosclae policies
History told backwards makes events seem more inevitable and not less. You are looking for the cause of what will happen instead of wondering. Knowing the end colors how you read all the events leading up to this. I believe this is the problem with traditional history. It is told forward but the people writing it are looking for the seeds of the cause and overfitting the narrative.
> Receiving money without being exposed to the danger of fraud. Receiving money via Credit Card is surprisingly risky for the merchant.

We have this well established thing called a credit score which is handled by the credit card agency and resolves trust issues for the merchant entirely. If a person suspects identity theft, they can put a hold on a card, preventing further use. Cards have expiration dates and periodically cycle out. I'm sorry but when people explain to me that using a token they are personally responsible for encrypting is "safer" somehow, I raise my eyebrows.
No. It's possible that this information has been available, but the connection to the end operator depends on local, non-standard setups. I once called 911 to report a passed out individual in Central Park. I tried relaying landmarks, lamp post #s, etc. Eventually it turns out the operator needed "5th and 80th, but in the park" to clear their prompt and dispatch an ambulance. This is on a relatively new dispatch system, too, that for some reason doesn't support GPS coordinates.
Yeah. Like Craig Silverstein at Google ( now at khan academy,last I heard). Even for Tesla, Straubel deserves much more recognition, but I think he himself doesn't appear much in public. IMO, Larry and Sergey are also seldom in public for the past few years.

I don't agree with some of your assertions about the world having always been terrible.

The US was founded by a bunch of small businesses owners, basically. Social stuff fundamentally works different in smaller groups than in very large ones. That doesn't mean nothing bad ever happens in small groups. It means that part of the problem is we have 7 billion people and a bunch of huge corporations.

I had a corporate job for a time. I've done freelance work in recent years. I did that while homeless and eventually got off the street.

I'm trying to establish a pilot program for helping others also learn to make money online while homeless. I'm also doing little websites for local artists in a low cost rural area with a bunch of small towns. I'm in the biggest city locally and it's under 20k people.

So I'm personally trying to foster microenterprise as part of the solution to what has gone wrong. We need more small time operators.

Another thing I do is participate as openly female on HN. I think that has more impact than is ever likely to be acknowledged by anyone.

I tried once to do an AMA about it on Reddit. I was politely told to go pick myself, that didn't measure up to their standards of significance for AMAs and directed me to a second rate AMA forum.

And yet in the past year, a lot of things I have been saying on HN for nearly 9 years are suddenly being parroted in various "movements" or whatever.

I don't expect to ever get any credit whatsoever for any of that. I'm old and tired and grumpy and impatient with people being dismissive of me and yadda. But I'm quite confident I'm making a difference.

There's other stuff I do. I wouldn't know how to explain it all and I'm not inclined to try in part because your earlier comment was incredibly dismissive and not just of me personally, and in part because I routinely get dismissed by people saying "No, you didn't actually do X. You are deluded."

It's probably dumb of me to say this much. But I'm human and part of the secret of my success is my willingness to flail about and look the fool in public.

Hopefully we are deep enough in the weeds at this point that there won't be too many eyes on it anyway.
"Losing kids while separating families? Azure's high-uptime databases can help!"

Looking at you, the 53 Microsoft employees who signed https://neveragain.tech/
To me an important part seems to be the fact that the US has an extremely competitive tech sector – personified in Silicon Valley – that has been cultivated over decades, basically since the US rose to prominence after second world war.

Through innovative symbiosis between universities, business', talent, steady US defence spending, plentiful of financing and business friendly regulations it has become the preeminent tech sector only rivalled by the Chinese which was born out of protectionism. With the invention of the internet and the unprecedented level of free trade, a few companies from Silicon Valley has successfully monopolised large part of not only the US market but also the European market. And not only that, this was done in record speed, Facebook was only founded in 2004. Traditional manufacturing sectors are much more dependent on the local market than tech companies.

After the second world war Europe was destroyed and effort when in to rebuilding countries and relations. Furthermore the mindset that gave birth to Silicon Valley to combine raw capitalism with university campus' wouldn't have had a chance. Rigid universities, socialist political discourse and unions would have prevented it. Perhaps the mindset is changing, question is to what degree protectionism will be used to gain a footing in the vital tech sector.

Amusingly, the manufacturers' ability to 'meet' these stringent standards (by cheating) makes the standards seem within reach, and hence causes the standard to get ratcheted up every few years, to a point where you HAVE to cheat to satisfy it. Vicious cycle.

crystal seed = peanut butter nozzle
crystal growth = peanut butter flow

Imagine that the peanut butter is not poured from the top, rather coming from holes at the bottom of the cup. Initially there's a radially growing patch of peanut butter around each hole. When the peanut butter patches grow large enough, they touch, and form an approximately straight boundary (if the flow rate is equal for all outlets) like the boundary between crystal domains.

Of course, peanut butter is a fluid, so its dynamics are ultimately different from crystal growth, but at this scale, it produces a very similar phenomenon thanks to its high viscosity.
Seems like it would be better for this to be transmitted in-band, like caller ID. This is a good step though.
How FinTech will change your life
Since everyone is arguing their beliefs without evidence, and throwing out random storms and climate events as counter-evidence, here are some actual facts:

1. Recent studies on current climate models show they consistently over-predict carbon impact on global warming (source: Nature, Nov 2017: Emission budgets and pathways consistent with limiting warming to 1.5 °C). The article shows that the previous carbon budget was off by a factor of 4 for the next few years, and always predicted higher temps. In other words, the models over-fit the data and thus lose predictive capabilities.

2. Increase/decrease in drought occurrence is inconclusive (Trenberth et al in Nature, 2013):
"Two recent papers looked at the question of whether large-scale drought has been increasing under climate change. A study in Nature by Sheffield et al entitled ‘Little change in global drought over the past 60 years’ was published at almost the same time that ‘Increasing drought under global warming in observations and models’ by Dai appeared in Nature Climate Change (published online in August 2012)."

3. On storms, SREX p. 159:
The present assessment regarding observed trends in tropical cyclone activity is essentially identical to the WMO assessment (Knutson et al., 2010): there is low confidence that any observed long-term (i.e., 40 years or more) increases in tropical cyclone activity are robust, after accounting for past changes in observing capabilities.

4. The greatest two-year cooling event of the last 100 years just occurred in Feb, per GISTEMP Team, 2018: GISS Surface Temperature Analysis data. Global avg temp dropped 0.56 deg C.
How does this differ from the existing system? I thought your cell carrier would already use GPS if it was available to communicate your location to the 911 call center, and route it to the appropriate call center?
I don't have any great advice except that those 6-9 months stints are toxic to many employers, I write that as someone who averaged 7 months across multiple startups before writing them off entirely. Pretty much every potential employer I've talked to could care less what the reasons were for leaving each startup.

Suggest finding a way into an established company with sane employment policies, possibly as a contractor first.

I want to see a frequency response and a dose response before I believe in harmful microwaves. Being allergic to electromagnetic waves in France is like avoiding gluten on the West Coast, all the yoga practitioners claim to be able to feel it, but there is no scientific evidence.

And the more we have electromagnetic waves in our environment because of the spreading of the technology, the later we die because medicine and healthcare move faster than the putative harm. What is certain, is that whatever the harm electromagnetic waves cause, it can't be huge like silicosis or asbestos, because we just don't see it in the statistics while intently staring at it, it has to be weak.

I think most people would see this as a good thing. A far-left political outlook is over represented in tech, but Microsoft's customer base is much broader than that. It's actually kind of refreshing to see a company act in a non-overtly left-leaning manner. It makes Microsoft look more professional and politically neutral than say Google.

If the text you quoted is accurate, the data is only accessible to emergency calling centers, so no, unless they are lying neither company can see your location. Perhaps it’s encrypted, a bit like sending an iMessage to the 9/11 dispatcher, or some other means of anonymization is used.

OLED screens and their close approximations to "pure black" (unlit pixels) I think are more reason to use dark themes with real black as background. It uses less energy, is good for batteries, and sends less overall light into our over-stimulated eyeballs.

As you said the Macedonia region covers way more territory than the territory of the modern country. Add to this the fact the nationalists want the modern country to eventually gain all these territories. And before you claim, that these people are minority, having been there it seems that a lot of people share these feelings. For example you can see everywhere maps where the borders of the modern country are way more expanded including a huge part of Greece.
