Profiles provide separate bookmarks and add-ons per profile. I don't think containers do. Containers seem to be more about making it so you can appear as different people to different sites. Profiles are more about letting you separate roles.

For different things I do during development, I want different sets of cookies, bookmarks, history, and add-ons. With profiles, I get that, effectively getting a separate browser that I can extensively customize to its particular task.
Or maybe it’s people flagging it because it’s unsubstantiated so far.

This is neat (and disturbing), but I don't live in California. Does anyone happen to know of similar sources for other states/regions?
What gives a government sovereign rights? Is it the will of it's people? Clearly not, as numerous countries are democracies only in name.

No, it is the power of coercion (tanks and jail cells). De facto, an area where some entity projects uncontested force is a state. And the will of that entity is the law. And anyone who disobeys that will in that area is a criminal (according to the state).

Someone using a position of power to do things to others that are powerless to resist is bullying, plain and simple. Do bullies have a "sovereign right"? Should bullying not be resisted? What is the difference with dictatorships but in scale? Data collected from mass surveillance can be used for many ends far from benign.

Everyone is above the law, if the law is wrong.
Interesting, I do remember 2000+ dollar computers in that time period, but $3700!?

Although '91 is earlier than I got back into PCs, strongest memories are probably more around '93, '94. The 486SX might have been the ~$2000 computer at that time. I remember later having the AMD 386/40 and 486/100 made better performance affordable.
Aren’t we debating how to determine if someone is reformed? I thought we were, and if not by judicial process (prison sentencing), what? I absolutely agree Epstein wasn’t reformed, and that the challenge is to suss out who is and isn’t a danger to society any longer (“reformed”). I don’t know how to do that besides gut feeling and guardrails to minimize blast radius when poor judgement has occurred.
I’ve worked on many projects and nothing is more annoying or tiring than dealing with people that have zero vested interest in the project outcome and have no understanding of a projects requirements, history, schedule and constraints chiming in with their worthless opinions.

I call them the peanut gallery and the best way to deal when them is to pat them on their head for being so smart, thank them for their opinion and ignore everything they said. Failure to mute them will derail any project lead by a junior dev who doesn’t get know how to deal with pot shots from the peanut gallery. The poor junior dev will actually listen to the worthless feedback and stall the project.

I’m sure the folks who worked on this protocol are rolling their eyes at this comment thread...
Those were the ones I've heard of - the actual list is quite a bit longer, but includes a lot of B2B technologies in industries I don't care about.

That's pretty good for an organization with a budget of $75M and a permanent staff of 80. I'd be hard-pressed to think of an organization of similar size that's had greater impact - maybe YCombinator or Stanford's CS department. Bell Labs was orders of magnitude bigger - in their 1970s heyday they had 24,000 employees and a budget of around $6B in today's money.

Part of the definition of hyperinflation is that it happens fast. Price increases that take place over decades is not hyperinflation, it's just regular old inflation.
They only analyzed 3 of the 20 amino acid, and they found a reason that perhaps explain why they are used. It's only a (good?) reason, but it's not a definitive proof. The conditions are quite simple, something like a small pond that can be desiccated and collect some water again later. When the "soup" is almos desiccated it is easier that the amino acid form small proteins-like chains.

About life in other planets, nobody knows, so it's guessing time:

The 20 amino acids are some of the ones that get formed spontaneously in the prebiotic conditions, so it's probably that they exist in other planets. In some proteins, the amino acids are modified after the protein is produced, so a few additional amino acids may be a nice feature. Some amino acids of the proteins are quite similar and perhaps we can live without them. So will independent life in other planets:

* use the same 20 amino acids: Probably no. Unofficially: No way.

* use the exactly 20 amino acids: Probably no. It's a hard question, there are some paper that try to justify the number 20 or a similar number, but I'm not convinced. I guess that something between 15 and 30 amino acids.

* Use some set of amino acid similar to our 20 amino acids: Probably. I guess yes.

* Use the same L variants as us, or use the specular D variants: Let's say 50%.

* Use proteins at all: Another hard guess, I'd say yes. Proteins are very versatile and easy to build in different configurations. It's hard to guess a replacement.
>but what Google was really doing was laying the groundwork for the ability to deliver all sorts of new online ad formats (like video) and complicated Javascript behind them that would help track and target users more effectively.

this is just plain dumb. There are plenty of other uses for javascript and powerful programming features beyond ads, and even google's most complicated ad products barely scratch the surface of what's possible with the new js features that have been introduced since the beginning of the chrome project.

Just because google is an ad company, doesn't mean everything they do is purely and simply about serving ads. And if you're going to try and make the argument that it is, you had better have something to back it up - you can't just make the claim and then skip on to the next bit of your rant.
I completely disagree with that method of promoting renewables, so there's no "we" here. The people who would be most impacted by rising petroleum prices would be those least able to afford it.

America is built on the automobile and most working families can't afford a Tesla at this point - intentionally pushing up oil prices by cutting supply would essentially be a regressive tax.

Tesla is approaching this the right way, however - make electric products that are superior to what's on the market, then aim for economies of scale to dramatically reduce prices and make them affordable. No supply-side manipulation of oil prices necessary, it just takes time.
And it is interesting that not in even the most extreme circumstances would billionaires even dream of cooperating or coexisting with others except in situations where they can dominate and control others.

Sure, reputation I can understand. Or precaution. Or repulsion. Those are common and understandable first-level responses.

But that doesn't mean people should negatively judge anybody who doesn't respond like that, and e.g. remains, or becomes, friend with somebody who did wrong (even extreme wrong). They could stay away from them (the friends) too, but why judge them for the mere fact of being friends?

I mean, they could just them negatively in thinking that they are complicit -- but shouldn't just them negatively merely for being friends.

Easily Scraping Sites with Node.js
Tod, one of the founders here. We are building a lot of integrations and are constantly testing webhooks / APIs.

RequestBin.com gives you a URL that collects requests you send it so you can inspect them in a human-friendly way. See what your HTTP client is sending or inspect and debug webhook requests.

We loved the old RequestBin written by Jeff Lindsay but it was subsequently acquired by Runscope, often unsupported and then shut down (https://github.com/Runscope/requestbin). So, we built a modern version of it, wanted to share it with the community and would love feedback.

Our new version has added functionality:
- optional authentication for private bins
- the ability to pause/filter the real-time event stream
- cleanly presents HTTP payloads (pretty-printing the JSON, XML, etc.) and query string parameters
- HTTPS endpoints that don't expire
- the ability to delete a single event or clear them all
- and, most importantly, a reliable infrastructure that should be up when you need it

In the last few months, RequestBin.com has been used by thousands of developers and is now in the docs for amazing apps such as Segment, Zapier, Coinbase, Intercom, Optimizely, Branch, Clearbit, Pipedrive and dozens more.

We think there’s a lot we can improve and are eager for feedback so please send us your ideas and opinions.

>talar: Huge potential here. Cars are on their way out, and scheduled grocery delivery can replace it.

A ton of these already exist. Blue apron, Home Chef, Hello Fresh, Amazon (although I believe amazon is currently pickup only). Does talar do anything different than the already established companies?

>spotless materials: Coatings can make a huge difference in the way we interact with materials... in fact, for the most part, that's all we interact with. better coatings make things better.

Again, there are a bunch of established companies making spray on and dip on coatings for clothing, fabric, tools, and other miscellaneous items that does essentially the same thing. Is there anything new here that the others don't do?
It happens when a story is flagged. Flagging the story (or iirc a lot of people flagging comments in a story’s comments section) will cause it to drop. I think it’s sad that people would flag this story.
Allowing side-loading would probably contribute to app piracy somewhat, but I don't think it would have as large an effect as you describe. Android's customer base is less wealthy overall, and less likely to have payment information in the play store. I would look to Mac rather than Android for a more realistic picture of what the piracy landscape would look like. It's not bad.

But, I also fundamentally believe we shouldn't be restricting user freedoms to protect copyright.

$100 a year is completely and utterly cost-prohibitive for a lot of people, even within the context of someone who already owns an iPhone. A lot of children begin coding so they can create something for themselves, or change one thing in an application. With a 7-day limit, who would want to do that? While it's true that free accounts can technically experiment with coding, there's not much incentive when you can't really _use_ anything you've created.

I worry about a generation of children who is given iPads rather than computers. Sure, most of them would never have touched code anyway, and that's fine. But iOS completely removes the incentive to learn and explore—to actually hack and tweak and create the tools we use everyday, instead of blindly consuming them.
Currently deployed hardware has no ability to measure that.
I imagine it's considered safer to list anything that is impaired at times of the year as impaired, so people err on the side of being safer. That said, clicking on the specific item gives more details (sometimes with additional links), so perhaps that might explain why it's listed (or give you a clue of where to look to find out, if you're inclined)
EditPlus 5.2 Crack Build 2281 with Torrent [New] Download
For many years now the acronym "DAP" has been used as the name of the debug interface for ARM based SoCs. Embedded software development with Visual Studio Code is already a thing and will likely become more popular. This can be a little confusing.
At least the MacOS binaries from Oracle are not packaged in a user-friendly manner. You just get a zip file containing JAVA_HOME, and it's up to the user to know what to do with this.

Apple requires you to copy this to a very specific, deeply nested, hidden system directory.

That's definitely not something I could ask an end user to deal with.

After the bait and switch with the licensing for the original Java distribution, I'm not comfortable downloading anything from Oracle anyway. It's just too risky.
The most extreme cases of self-citation are definitely bad news.

There seem to be some authors and author groups who rely almost entirely on self-citation for impact factor, allowing them to get by with irrelevant or unchecked work. It might be possible to detect that with a metric like self-citation or high author-placement self-citation as a fraction of overall citations.

But overall, it seems like this metric should be limited to exploratory use. There are wholly legitimate cases of frequent self-citation, like mathemeticians pioneering a new technique, or astronomy research groups which cite a large support team and product many sequential findings. Discerning an apparent citation-mill like Vel Tech R&D from a legitimate research group like the LSST requires thought, not just statistics.

Meanwhile, the most egregious self-citers are usually doing something else wrong too. Robert Sternberg wasn't just self-citing, he was reusing large amounts of text without acknowledgement, and abusing his journal editorship to publish his own works without peer review. The Vel Tech author in the article seems to be citing his own past works which are irrelevant beyond vaguely falling in the same field, and the enormous range in his work (from food chain models to neurobiology to machine learning to fusion reactors) makes me suspect it's either inaccurate or insignificant.

Ioannidis is damn good at what he does, and was far too sensible to broadly condemn high self-citation researchers. But it would be a real shame to see self-citation rate blindly added to university standards the way citations and impact factor were. The lesson here is that reducing academic impact to statistical measures of papers doesn't work, not that we need some more statistical measures.
Your points are valid it's just the negativity is classic HN. I think this is partly due to HN design. When all you see is text and not the people writing them it is easy to be negative.

> This would also solve the problem that e.g. NASA has with each President reversing course. No wonder that the last Moon visit was decades ago when the priorities get completely turned over every 4-8 years.

This is also one of the arguments against promoters of so-called "term limits" for congressmen and others; imagine this kind of churn in priorities occurring with major and minor public works projects!

We don't have to wonder too much - we can already see it at the state level with governorships changing; one recent large change of this kind is with California's high-speed rail system. For all of it's "boondoggle-ry" and problems, I don't think the way it's been "axed" lately will be of help to completing it. In fact, it might just be a self-fulfilling prophecy for its opponents.

That's only one example; I'm sure others in other states could be easily found as well if one were to look. Ultimately, that kind of thing would only get worse with term limits on representatives to Congress, because federal funding for such large scale projects is needed - and that would end up likely in flux, and ultimately scuttle projects that depend on steady funding to be completed.

One could argue that individual state projects should only be funded by the state itself, but that notion of state self-sufficiency went out with the end of the Civil War. I also tend to wonder if - under a term-limited system - such a thing as the interstate highway system could have ever been built. It doesn't seem likely.
I'm a Brazilian, and yes, our country needs to be heavily sanctioned until this president wakes up.

If the web stopped working on Apple devices do you imagine the public reaction? Apple would be humiliated and would instantly indeed allow to install other browsers.

But we don't need to go so fast.
Firstly the web should block desktop safari, then laptop safaris. We wait that Apple fixe it's OS.
Then we do the same on IOS waiting for the same "fixe"

Instead of making apple bend the knee, the web got broken for GPUs with the shitshow that is webgpu (which is the intersection of features from metal, Vulkan and dx12) instead of doing a webVulkan which is well supported on all OSes except Apple because they choose to make the world a worse place.

Why are you assuming the author was uninsured in NY? Lots of Candadians buy travel health insurance when visiting the US.

Even with your unfair comparison: if you have health insurance in the US, it's quite easy to pay higher fees than you would uninsured in Canada. For example, compare Fidelis Care Silver[1] ambulance charge ($150 after deductible) with Canadian ambulance charge ($240 CAD -> $180.75 USD). The completely uninsured Canadian pays only $30 more than the insured American, and that's if the American has already paid their $1700 deductible, and has paid their premiums (which are more than the taxes Canadians pay toward their healthcare). And that's literally just grabbing the first US plan I looked at: I'm sure that there are worse insurance plans out there which people are forced to take.

GitLab PM here: The GitHub registry looks really interesting. I like how they incorporated search and how they are encouraging people to host their packages on GitHub instead of npm.

At GitLab, the CE edition currently offers a container registry, that allows users to build, push and share images using the Docker client and/or GitLab CI/CD.

The EE edition offers an NPM and Maven registry, that allows users to publish, download and share dependencies. Both also integrate with GitLab CI/CD. We are currently working on Conan (C/C++) and NuGet (.NET). We are evaluating moving these features to CE as well.

We also offer a proxy to for Docker images (which will be extended to each registry) that improves reliability and performance and (in the future) will help mitigate and remediate open source risk.

If you end up trying GitHub's registry, I'd love to hear more about what you thought.
