I have changed my lenses three times on my current frames, never had any issue, never heard of anyone warning me of such a thing. My whole family does that.

"Notarization is not App Review. The Apple notary service is an automated system that scans your software for malicious content, checks for code-signing issues, and returns the results to you quickly"

If they truly mean this, and only check done is for malicious content then it does not sound that bad except the ~100$ developer account each year to be paid to Apple. Tim Cook needs to be aware of developers being one of the main legs when it comes to creating a happy user base. If he treats them as second class citizens, then making shareholders happy will not last long.

Unshaky: Software to address the “double key press” issue on Apple’s keyboards
Well Denosovian DNA is basically absent on the Asian side of the Wallace line and at a very high frequency on the Australian side. On top of this there is physical evidence of homo sp. occupation of Australia as far back as 120K years ago which is before modern humans can be found outside of Africa.

There is one additional piece of evidence which is the modern Australian Aborignial and PNG population is descended from a founder population that appeared 15-30K years ago. Add all these up and the evidence is strongly in favour of the Denosovians being the first homo sp. that crossed the Wallace line.

A safe subset of html that they can analyze could be summarized in a document and ranking things higher that conform to that subset. That is not what AMP is.
Would you please not post in the flamewar style to Hacker News? I seem to have noticed you doing it a lot again recently. It would be good if you'd take a step back from that because this comment is over the flameline. That's not cool, regardless of how good or right your points are, and I'm sure you can make them without that.

It was the same thing with SCC going blind about big banks before 2008. FAA - Boeing relationship is an example of SCC - BigBanks relationship before 2008.

I don't think this is a problem of the media but rather of the consumer. In the pre-Twitter time people used to be concerned about those consuming only tabloids or trash TV news. At best, possibly even none at all.

In fact the offer of "slow news" is so much larger than "fast news". The New Yorker is actually an example of very slow news ;-) Also on TV/Web streaming there is a lot of slow news like BBC News for instance. The truth is most people find this too boring, they are just not interested in Politics. Maybe new formats like VICE are improving this.

Maybe this problem didn't even got worse but it just became more visible in the age of Google News where you suddenly see that you can read the same article on 200 different news pages - sometimes just copy&pasting from Reuters.

And yes, news is always biased. That's why one should read different sources with different biases... That's a very time consuming task if you are only consuming slow news.
So - "They isolated two chemical compounds — Y27632 and apocynin — and tested both on skin cells, with positive results."

Search for Apocynin first...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apocynin

"Apocynin was first described by Oswald Schmiedeberg, a German pharmacologist, in 1883 and was first isolated by Horace Finnemore,[1] in 1908, from the root of Canadian hemp (Apocynum cannabinum).[2] At the time, this plant was already used for its known effectiveness against edema and heart problems."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apocynum_cannabinum

"Apocynum cannabinum (dogbane, amy root, hemp dogbane, prairie dogbane, Indian hemp, rheumatism root, or wild cotton)[2] is a perennial herbaceous plant that grows throughout much of North America - in the southern half of Canada and throughout the United States.[1][3] It is a poisonous plant: Apocynum means "poisonous to dogs". All parts of the plant are poisonous and can cause cardiac arrest if ingested."

...

"Apocynum cannabinum was much employed by various Native American tribes who used it to treat a wide variety of complaints including rheumatism, coughs, pox, whooping cough, asthma, internal parasites, diarrhoea and also to increase milk flow in lactating mothers.[6] The root has been used as a tonic, cardiotonic, diaphoretic, diuretic, emetic (induces vomitting) and expectorant.[9][6] It is harvested in the autumn and dried for later use. The fresh root is the most active part medicinally."

And it seems to be one of the medicinal plants that the north American locals have known about long before Europeans rocked up.

Then if I search for Y27632, I get stuff like;

https://www.reprocell.com/small-molecules-c1/stemolecule-y27...

"Y27632 is a cell-permeable small molecule Rho-associated kinase (ROCK) inhibitor1. Y27632 has been found to prevent apoptosis as well as enhance the survival and cloning efficiency of dissociated human embryonic stem (ES) cells without affecting their self-renewal properties or pluripotency2. This molecule has also been shown to enhance survival during the transplantation of ES cell-derived neural precursors3. Y27632 in combination with Pifithrin-u significantly improves cell recovery after cryopreservation"

Does anybody here know what the similarities are likely to be between those two compounds and if Apocynum has already being used dermatalogically? Given the history it seems very unlikey that it wouldnt have already been made into a topical skin cream by someone before now. I'm also guessing that the people who make Y27632 are going to be cranking up production right about now and giggling a lot.
I don’t actually believe this will prove to be correct, it just might take a decade longer and or be on more limited routes but it will happen.
I have 4G and a top end phone, and mobile web is getting worse by the day.

The first solution is not AMP. The first solution is to go back to when a web page was a "page", not a program made up of cobbled together bits of JavaScript.

Cookie preference popups, join the newsletter popups, animated or dynamic ads, and everything else stupid websites do that causes the browser's rendering engine to grind away non-stop...

The current user experience is worse than I think it ever was.

But as other posters have comments, AMP is probably intended to be a control and data tracking system first, with user experience being second or lower priority.
The European Court of Human Rights upheld a conviction in 2018 for "disparagement of religious precepts" because a woman in Austria said that Muhammad was a paedophile (which is correct, since according to the Quran, Muhammad had sex with a 9 year old whom he had married when she was 6):

You can’t apply as independent until you reach a certain age, 23 I think, or a court has declared you independent or whatever. That excludes most students, who are trying to get a four year degree after high school.

How come she is everywhere on the internet but not at the presentation panel on live conference that was yesterday?

Jeez why the downvotes? It's a legitimate question I had.
I've been on the Internet my entire life and not even once I've seen something I didn't want or expect to see. It's simply not possible to force people to watch a several minutes long video or read a manifesto with dozens of pages, so I don't understand this sentiment.
Twitter Is blocking tweet about 996
China is currently ruled by law, not rule of law. Chinese Communist Party (CCP) controls the law, they don't respect the constitution, but only use it to control people. In China, who is behind these giant tech companies? It's CCP. Without the CCP's agreement, they dare not to do that. The 996 evil event is just a tip of iceberg in China (I'm sure these engineers are better than Uygur people in China), and the root cause of these evil events is the CCP.

To end these evil events in China, we MUST overturn the CCP's government, and start a new country which is ruled of law. Fortunately, we have a hero who is leading us to achieve that, he is Miles Guo. He showed the facts to the world that CCP not only wants to control the Chinese, but the whole world. That's the reason that Steve Bannon revived the Committee on the Present Danger: China. So, my dear brothers and sisters, please help him and join the war to anti CCP:

A startup clearly has value even though it isn't a public company yet. Figuring out that value just has more steps.

IANAL, but MobileVet's situation may have been illegal, running afoul of minority shareholder rights, if the situation was accurately described. I imagine what happened was the CEO divided the company then paid a pittance for the portion without the debt to the portion with the debt. You can't do this, or well, other shareholders have legal recourse if you do. If you play enough shell games, you can somewhat hide what you did. That doesn't make it legal. If this is the case, the CEO just relied on the former employees not doing anything.
How would you define outrage porn? I think that we have to be careful with definitions. Just as we do not define everything that produces sexual arousal as porn because we would have to call even meaningful relationships porn, we should be careful not to call everything that might produce a certain level of disagreement "outrage porn". If there is a well reasoned and substantiated article about something that is bad and should be fixed, what is your metric to distinguish it from outrage porn?
you've got to be a moron to have one of these in your house
That would definitely break some stuff for me.

Lots of first, last, and even, odd usage.
I understand the US doesn't have a lot of choice on the ballot

That is not at all true. Sure there may only be two parties with one candidate each on the national level (assuming you don't get involved with the primaries), but in the US a lot more local positions are elected (which in many ways have a much greater effect on your day to day life) and local referendums (or ballot initiatives) are very common.
Here in Iceland, there's a security key embedded in your SIM card that everybody uses as their 2FA solution. It's triggered via a GSM message to your phone, identifies what the authorization is for, and lets you enter the key's PIN code to accept.

The whole thing (except the UI) is isolated from the phone's OS so that even if your phone gets lost or compromised nobody else can auth as you.
Reminds me of: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/mar/09/man-charged-...

> The charges allege that Golaszewski was found with copies of 21 Silent Techniques of Killing by Master Hei Long, The Anarchist Cookbook and The Big Book of Mischief on 23 February in Leeds. It is also alleged that he had in his possession the Improvised Munitions Handbook, Murder Inc, The Book by Jack the Rippa, and Minimanual Of The Urban Guerilla, by Carlos Marighella.

The guy is charged with possession of six books, some of these books are likely to be present at archive.org

> Pawel Golaszewski faces six counts under the Terrorism Act and has been charged with possession of a document or record "containing information of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism".

Six books, six counts.

Unsure where is this heading. Does anyone think the law can stop technology?
Not 996, but some of the h1bs from India go through something similar 5 days a week. Many of them have to attend 'offshore calls' with the team in India which usually starts around 10 pm and goes till midnight, in addition to the regular 9-5 work. One h1b guy I know had his schedule like this - attend early morning 1-1.5 hour meetings at 6.30 am on 3 days of a week, work from 9/9.30-4 (sometimes 5 or 6), attend offshore calls from 10pm that sometimes go beyond 12 am. He worked like this for almost 4 years.
This is the nerdiest thing I have seen a long time. It is lovely! Keep it up.
Game changing technology tends to be overestimated in the short term and underestimated in the long term.
Quoting and Paraphrasing
Do you know if feeder.co supports mathjax/similar in rendering?
No we don't. We'll "have" self driving cars when I can ride them in Seattle when it's raining. Right now this is not doable.
We have them in very limited settings, and fairly small numbers. Over time, they'll work in more and more environments, and that lessens their limitations. That will then increase adoption, and that will in turn drive acceptance. Resistance against self-driving cars is (in my opinion) based around either fear for loss of job, or fear of an image of self-driving cars that is not very representative.
I'm starting to despise Google the same way I despise Fox News. You an argue with me on the internet about it all you like but these days if an ex Google employee's resume lands in front of me I steer clear.
Well a non-owner CEO only cares about the company for the duration of his compensation package. He’s cutting costs now to boost the stock price. Why should he give a flying fuck what happens to the company when everyone but Ford has a self driving car in 15 years? He got his.

As used in the Event Horizon Telescope from what I've been reading. Multi-generational, upgradeable, modular, resilient, robust, fixable, shippable storage (any adjectives I've missed?) - with thoroughly understood performance for high data rate transfers - operating in at high altitude away from normal spare parts supply chains. Device production lifecycle to match scientific programme schedule. Somewhere in the region of 6PB's worth crated and returned post-acquisition to the EHT consortium processing sites.
I am amazed at this trailblazer doing all this work on her own.

The working hours is one thing. What I am most curious about is does more hours being put in mean more/better work output; ie does the 996 work culture actually means a higher output, even if by a slight margin?

Personally my opinion is that coding is not like the assembly line where more hours mean more things that's produced, but more lines of code can mean absolutely nothing (sometimes can even be a negative). However, looking at the recent progress in China, I am wondering what percentage of that is attributed to the 996 working culture, or is it to do with something else?
Autonomous vehicles operating on limited routes (geofenced) at first is exactly what is described in the article, so it's not clear to me what you disagree with.

You (and korethr) are right, I should have written a more constructive reply. For that, I want apologize.
Is it me or is the article written like for 5 year olds? It feels like I am reading a child book.

However, this is such a great achievement. Would be awesome to learn more about the algorithm.
Beyond the geo-fenced solution, and system like Super Cruise, I doubt that we'll see truly self-driving cars for another 30 - 40 years.

What fascinates me is that company like Uber believe that they can use their current business model to finance the development of a self-driving car and the start to make profit when those cars a ready. That would mean investors pumping money into the company for at least 25 years more.

It makes more sense to slowly develop self-driving cars for technologies like Autopilot and Super Cruise. Gradually improving the solution until one day it can safely navigate a leaf covers dirt road.
So we’re entering the through of disillusionment, which is only part 3 of the hype cycle tough.

But these aren't standard selectors so you couldn't use them for style anyway.
Do we?

Having a look at the revenue generated per person in Facebook vs General Electric we seem pretty shit at negotiating. The revenue per employee at GE is 400,000 at Facebook it's ~1,400,000. I'm not hearing FB paying people ~4 times the wages that GE does. Most I've heard is ~1.5 times for similar positions in similar locales, having friends in both.

We have convinced ourselves we're special snowflakes while the lucky and ruthless laugh all the way to the bank.
Maybe not on paper, but she is definitely an astronomer.
I'm not biased anyway but thinking Is it fair to attribute this entire thing to one person leaving out the team of collaborators? Doesn't it sound like what happens with Jobsism?

Edit: While I'm being rapidly downvoted, I'd like to clarify that I didn't mean to demean this because it's a female nor any of the feat this research has achieved. My point was only about why is it reported as if individual feat while many of such things are a strong team work.

For some other questions - will you say the same about Elon musk - of course i've argued this among my peers and that's exactly why I called it similar to `Jobsism`

Superpositions exist in Perl5 too, thanks to Damian Conway who invented them. See Quantum::Superposition on CPAN.
Interesting observation from Germany: I have encountered some reports about 996 in main-stream media in the past weeks. However, the spin was that Chinese workers are proud to work 996, or demand not to work MORE than 996 - in essence: Brace yourselves Germans, the Chinese people will crush you with their productivity.

I find this comment fascinating. I actually love your passion for the lib - I think any tool that makes a person feel productive is a positive thing. But it also makes me realize just how diverse the front end ecosystem is. Since moving to more reactive, state based frameworks I haven't even thought about DOM manipulation in so long - that to see people discussing the merits of one system over another is pretty wild.
