Personally I’ve been working on Chat based commerce in the U.S for over 5 years now... crazy. The adoption in US markets is definitely slower compared to SEA. Habits and behavior are much more in favor of mobile, and specifically chat for everything experiences in SEA. WeChat is the prime example that doesn’t have a strong comparison in the West.

However, the tide is here past the hype of “Chat Bots” and I’m happy to be working on this problem for helping people find jobs. Messaging is the ultimate form of UX. Communicate it, and it’s done.

At Edvo, we’re having a lot of positive feedback from the job seeker side over Messenger. We have a lot to work on still but, definitely see and feel the adoption of messaging based commerce and general ux.

It’ll be interesting how that transitions in a post mobile era. I’m excited!

Which is pretty strange, considering most classrooms and even homes have a globe laying around.

Maybe I’m just severely overestimating the scientific knowledge of the average person.
Yes, I really like this article too but the inclusion of Bret Victor in the first group seemed a little off - from what I've read he seems deeply concerned with human-computer interaction.
No it does not..

I wouldn’t pin that “employees are resources” thing on capitalism though. In my experience this view is not imposed by owners, but rather by power hungry mediocre project managers and the like lower down the org chart.

I’ve come to see it as just a sad human instinct: some people get a kick out of talking/thinking about others as (their) tools. Capitalism probably keeps this instinct at bay better than most other systems, as it seems to me a fine way of destroying capital.

On the other hand, their CLI tool is very good.

I wrote some video training material 3 years ago that goes over setting up an ECS cluster and I decided to use the CLI for just about everything. We interact with a number of resources (S3, load balancers, EC2, ECS, ECR, RDS, Elasticache, etc.) and other than a single flag to login to ECR it all works the same today.

I'm happy I chose not to use the web console. The only time I used the web console was for creating IAM roles and I've had to make a bunch of updates since the UI changes pretty often. It would have been a disaster if I used it for everything.

> employ the locals for these jobs.

That's where 95% of the problem lies. As someone whose origins are from a poor country, I can name you a lot of organizations that don't have this in mind. A huge chunk of your donation goes to some westerner going on a "spiritual journey" to teach locals, or whatever bullshit they tell to themselves that's needed. It very rarely "trickles down" to the poor people's pockets.

What they need is money. Like literally any single poor person in the world, that money will go first and foremost to securing basic life necessities (food, shelter, water, medical bills), and the rest is gonna get reinvested in their local town or village (either by starting a business or by paying for education).

> Any money you give to anyone for free will just get someone rich while the rest will continue suffering.

What's missing from your equation is taxes. Whatever they do with the money will get taxed, filling the local budgets. Thinking that westerners know more what's needed then people that actually live there is preposterous at best, superiority complex at worst.

> Also, to directly answer your point, you can give those $50 to a person OR spend those $50 to get 50 people to donate instead.

If you think this post without a direct call-to-action is gonna inspire people to donate more than it took to go there and film these documentaries, I honestly hope you're right. I personally don't buy that one bit.

Also, don't get stuck in the trap of thinking the solution to a service problem needs to be ... another service ("now you've got n+1 problems"). Such an abstraction layer would be much more effective (yet less monetizable) as a tool - c.f. the original terraform (non-Cloud).

There are already tools that attempt to do a limited form of this such as nixops, which attempts to devolve the ultimate power over someone's services to the user.
> A week later Sally flips a quarter 5 times and gets 2 heads and 3 tails. She sends the results of her study to the AJCFS noting a failure to reproduce Robert's result, but her study is rejected because it has P=.3125.

Sally must be working using the wrong null hypothesis. If she attempts to reproduce Robert's results her null hypothesis should be whatever is the one he formulated. Perhaps that the probability of tails is at most 15%. Her p-value would be 2.66% (prob of seeing <= 2 heads) and if the world was fair, AJCFS would publish her study. But the world isn't and if Robert is a renowned scientist, significant+ is enough for him but failed replications of his work requires significant+++.
It a collection of stories that help build empathy.......
It's a good reminder anyway. There are lots of people involved with tech who genuinely don't seem to understand that things fail, even in "the cloud".

As for pet servers in the cloud, not having them is the ideal, but it's not nearly always realistic. It's not "wrong" to run a pet server in the cloud if it's the only reasonable option you have given all other constraints involved.

A real failure-resistant system is often expensive, and sometimes simply not worth the investment.
MyMTA (beta) app is actually pretty good for knowing about these, I find. And, of course, it'll be way easier to push service changes to mobile apps than to digitized screens.
I'm amazed they spent all that R&D loot and then called it 'Taycan' - I can't decide if it sounds more like 'toucan' or 'trashcan'.

FWIW the Wikipedia article[0] on the car has this to say about the name:

> Firefox decided to stop using my DNS server

In an ideal world, your probably want some sort of encrypted connection to your own DNS server (unless your LAN is 100% trusted). Maybe something like HTTPS would work... oh wait.

Most people don't have their own DNS server, so their DNS traffic is already who-knows-what server with who-knows-what monetization in place (plus its in plaintext, so the rest of the internet gets it too).

DNS over HTTPS seems like a net win for both types of users. Power users like you get way to encrypt your DNS traffic, and non-technical users get an encrypted connection to a potentially less-hostile DNS server. It sucks that there is now a second place to configure things, but hopefully seeing this work well will put pressure on the OS to adopt DNS over HTTPS natively, bringing the experiment to its final goal (at least, I assume this is the endgame).
No, it now defaults to off. New users and users who only had the “tags suggestions” setting have that setting off by default.
Similar statements can be made about insider trading or constitutional violations.
I wonder if this will break TP-Link's tplinklogin.net and tplinkrepeater.net for logging into their routers/repeaters? At least the latter is supposed to be intercepted by the device, and if it isn't, you get a message saying things are misconfigured.

I suspected to see a series of iPads and games consoles. I flicked through 20 or so and barely a battery-powered toy in sight, never mind a computer.

I don't know why it should make me happy though... maybe I'm worried modern children's lives are too complicated and just idolise my own, without any evidence for that. Getting old, I suppose.

Show HN: InstaConnect – find and connect with professionals over a call
Cardiac rhythm device identification using neural networks
Hey everyone, I have been experimenting with this idea of InstaConnect for last few weeks.

Every day we hustle to build new relationships to grow our business or ourselves and a lot of times we find hard to connect with the right person quickly.

Sometimes you need an information but you have to figure out a way to get that information and a lot of times its the inside information that a specific person can tell you.

This is what InstaConnect is trying to solve.

You can search for other professionals and they can search you too, once you join, and you can call them via a masked cloud telephony number instantly.

For each call you make you redeem Karma and they earn Karma for picking up your call. Incentivising for their time. This karma they earned can be redeemed to call someone else.

What do you guys think?

In private beta, for now, look for beta users, especially in India, as it's currently live in India but feedback welcomed from around the world.
Workers Are Fleeing Big Cities for Small Ones, and Taking Their Jobs with Them
It's just so fragmented. Some parts are actually almost great (Lambda) while others are downright awful. Batch is the worst, and it's been like this for years. As soon as you go over a couple of hundred jobs per day, it becomes unmanageable quickly.

You still have to do some trickery with the CLI too. Let's say I want to get all logs from failed Batch jobs in the past day? This involves:

* Listing the Jobs (possibly paginated)

* Parsing out the log stream names from JSON (oh, and separate logs for separate attempts)

* Iterate through log streams and query Cloudwatch (each paginated)

* Parse JSON

I am sure we're all writing half-baked wrappers for our individual use-cases, I am surprised no one's published something generally useful for stuff like this.

Whereas with Kubernetes, that's all a single call with kubectl...

Don't get me wrong, we wouldn't be on AWS if it didn't make sense and they have been pushing development forward a lot. But it's unfortunately fragmented.

The only way to stay sane here is to use Terraform. That way you can stay out of it at least for creation and modification of resources and will have an easier time should you want to migrate.

EDIT: Another great example from Batch: Let's say you have a job that you want to run again, either a retry or changing some parameters.

AWS Console:

* Find job in question (annoying pagination through client-side pagination where refresh puts you back on page 1).

* Click Clone Job

* Perform any changes. (Changing certain fields will reset the command, so make sure you stash that away prior to changing)

* Click Submit

* Job ends up in FAILED state with an ArgumentError because commands can not be over a certain length.

Turns out that the UI will split arguments up, sometimes more than doubling the length of a string, and there's nothing you can do about it except resort to CLI or split it up into smaller jobs if you have that option.

CLI:

* Get job details

* Parse JSON and reconstruct job creation command

* Post

It baffles me how container fields and parameters differ from what you can GET and what you can POST; you really need to parse the job down, and reconstruct the create job request.

I completely understand that it will be like this when services launch. But it's been years now.
Exploit for wormable BlueKeep Windows bug released into the wild
I was just thinking this. It's crazy: we used to all be concerned about protecting the transport (HTTPS/TLS) but now the bigger problem seems to be the endpoints themselves being untrustworthy--"smart" appliances, Google, Facebook, Mozilla and CloudFlare with DNS-over-HTTPS. Untrustworthy endpoints using secure transport to hide malintent.

It makes a lot of sense in many ways. A house would yield higher rents and be profitable just as easily if demand was similar. But not too many people are willing or able to pay such high rents, regardless of whether it's deserved or not. Try to do the same with a very large flat or penthouse, yields will also be lower than for your council flat.
This is why IP itself is no longer a workable solution--it's point-to-point by nature. Take a look at Named Data Networking for possible approaches to this problem.
The actual mast is lightweight and and wouldn't be able to support anything. Also it seems the foundations wouldn't be able to support a traditional wind turnbine:

"Instead of the usual tower, nacelle and blades, our device has only a mast made of lightweight materials over a base. This reduces the usage of raw materials and the need for a deeper foundation."

On the upside it must make for easier deployment, opening up more areas to installation.
I read that the maximum experiments are in the orbiter so this is a successful mission.

The only thing for which it 'failed' was to let the ruling class do chest thumping by saying 'we are the fourth country to land a rover'. The ruling party had planned a great celebration today for it's 100 days in office, a date coinciding when the rover would land! They wanted to milk it for their nationalistic purposes while their blind followers dance to the tunes and love ISRO's achievements while bashing Nehru who started ISRO (1962).

I've been a reader of health and nutritional science for many years. Yes, I researched vitamin K2 before taking it. No, I am not into random bro-science. I am highly objective and have been able to achieve good results with various nutritional interventions, for several deficiency-related conditions.

The reason I started taking it was not dental plaque, but because my diet had few sources of vitamin K2 (due to diagnosed digestive issues) and the scientific consensus was that it is a valuable nutrient that occurs in diets correlated with reduced cardiac and other disease. I understand that correlation is not causation, but it is plausible that adding something missing in my diet could produce a benefit, and my mission was to correct deficiencies. It is, after all, a nutrient found in common foods.

I had read the claims about its effects on plaque incidentally to my research, but did not consider them factual because this effect had not been studied to my knowledge.

Several hours after taking K2, my teeth would start to feel a bit smoother. About a week and a half later, bits of plaque would start coming off my teeth when I brushed them. To answer your question, you can't not notice it. It's a chunk of solid white gunk that I couldn't previously remove from my teeth that has now become detached.

After a year or so I neglected supplementation with vitamin K2. The plaque eventually returned, albeit very slowly. Upon resuming vitamin K2, it would again dissolve.

I understand your skepticism with regard to n=1 vs. scientific theory, but I am a pragmatic person. I have been able to repeat this, and I can confirm it works for me. To put theory over practice when the reality of it stared me in the face would have been fallacious.

Anecdata, sample size one: High school classes in the US tend to teach the abstracted surface level topic but rarely delve into the why's and how's.

In geography, we would learn what's on the map, not how the map was created and the different projections a map can have.

Because of this weird system, I feel the Mercator projection would be most relevant in... A geometry course? And as silly as it is, that was indeed my initial reaction to your comment, which made me laugh.

So map projections are in limbo between course subjects. I think that's why the Mercator projection is basically meme status -- That blind spot in education hits us all by surprise, it seems dead obvious, and so it tickles the funny bone.
1. As you say yourself, nominal values and purchasing power are different concepts. So why should we treat them the same?

2. If I have a contract saying I will get that extra dollar, I absolutely expect to get it and will take the bank to court if I don't. If I only hope for that, it's different. But in any case, my contract is with my bank, not the central bank.

The problem is that language is ambiguous and it’s important to be accurate. I do believe that intent wise, it answers the question the way you would prefer. Let me explain.

In the case you describe, Facebook no longer creates a Face Template, that is some kind of ML model of your face that could be used to recognize it or identify that you are the same person appearing across new pictures.

But I can’t say Facebook no longer has a record of your face. It still has some pictures, uploaded by your friends, where you appear. It won’t know that it's you OR and if your friends upload two pictures where you appear, it won't know that the same person is in both unless they tag you manually (which they can only do if you are user and authorize them - but that's a different setting).
Oh I'm not skeptical, I don't know anything about this - I asked to learn if you had any more advise when it comes to buying the product, what to look out for, what to combine it with or not, and how to 'measure' or at least tell if it works.

Personally I don't see long term national security as possible with nukes either. Sooner or later a situation will exist where a bad actor is in power. Or they are just launched by accident. And large countries are not guaranteed to be politically stable. These large nations can and do disintegrate.

I think the risk of obliteration without nukes is less bad. I would rather see my country destroyed in a first strike or invaded by a foreign power. I think that would be less bad than a nuclear war.

The funny things is that the USA could easily be defended from conventional attack. And a small sub based detterant would be good enough. And there is a risk in stoking paranoia in your enemy by having large stockpiles. The vast majority of nations have far less conventional defence than the US and still don't want nukes.
