side note with the downfall of Kik, If anyone has experience with building group chat apps that scale, or is solid with react native, I am building a group chat app that eliminates the need to have invite codes or an admin to regulate who comes in to the group chat. People with association are in, randos cant even see the group exists.

Basic MVP with messing is already done, made with react native. Just need help with adding images, some login stuff, make it look a tad slicker, and most of all, the on going backend tweaking.

Around 2005, I was taking a documentary film class. The only student film I remember from that class was basically footage of college kids on Bluetooth headphones juxtaposed with mentally ill homeless people talking to themselves.

Litmus test time: does this look like degenerate behavior to you? This is a presidential frontrunner and (at the time) an acting VP. He got his cokehead son $1.5B in Chinese money, too, for his "investment" firm, how that continues to escape the front page of WaPo and NYT is beyond me.

Or are your morals selective enough to remain blind to this? Because it seems that the mainstream press is trying their hardest to not cover the story, and if it wasn't for Trump's "whistleblowing" (which I believe he orchestrated himself), nobody would know.
Sure, which is why I added "...or will be soon, I haven't followed this closely".

For people who have to deal with browsers for their business this is important to know what's coming in the near future.

BoA and Chase can attract sufficient deposits without offering 2.0% on savings. Your credit union may need to offer higher rates to attract sufficient deposits.

Sure, if the turbines are spaced too closely they will lose efficiency. But as far as the surrounding environment is considered, existing wind farms don’t have any noticeable effects on the wind. Perhaps when we start building bigger more consequential wind farms we will notice something.

Thanks.

Due to the medical issues in the family, cleanliness is a really high priority. The manager of the building has been amazingly supportive. He offered to give us a fridge from a different room, but it was a horror show of filth and I asked him to remove it the same day, which he very graciously did.

He also tried to repair the fridge that died, but it couldn't be repaired.

I honestly just need to come up with the money and buy a small new fridge for probably under $200.

My income is gradually going up. It's just painfully slow and frustrating as all hell, which has me living from crisis to crisis and I hate it.

Sexism isn't the only factor. I brought up my point of view in hopes of supporting a larger point, which may have been a mistake.

Anyway, trying really hard to just drop this discussion as so much of it was very negative to me.
There's some confirmation bias - there were more than a few comments on Facebook's purchase of CTRL-labs about privacy, Cloudflare's announcement of WARP going GA had more than a few.
Not exactly the same, but it's one of the prime reasons that I don't have a Costco membership: I hate when I go with members and after they pay you are treated like a criminal as they scan your receipt and check all the items in the cart. I also avoid Fry's Electronics for the same reason.
The Fed created this problem. Yet he wonders why.

It’s reasons like this that cause people like Ron Paul to think the Fed is dangerous - they don’t understand their own creations.

Kocherlakota doesn’t understand it either.

The repo market explanation is simple: the IOER rate is higher than fed funds, but with the Fed reducing their balance sheet (QT) by $800 billion, there are going to be unusual effects. This is one of them.
Still, DOA to the Senate. They'll say, "Where's the evidence?"
It depends. If I invented it, and kept it to myself, and don't get around to filing a patent until after you; first to file means you get the patent. I may have rights to continue to use the invention as a prior user, but I'm not familiar with the details there.

If I published it before you filed though, that's prior art. Again, I'm not super familiar with details here of if it had to be published for some time or just the day before is fine.
Out of curiosity, do you have a normal door lock on your door; one that uses the kind of key you can get a copy made of at home depot? If so, pretty much anyone can open it with a bump key and a couple seconds.

Nobody remembers the Commodore Semiconductor Group? Commodore was a pioneer in personal computing, semiconductor and environmental accidents. In 1974, there was a massive leak of the 250-gallon underground concrete storage tank full of TCE, and today the site is still monitored by the EPA. Bill Herd, the chief engineering of Commodore 128, mentioned in his interview that the day he went to work, he didn't know the tank leaked and parked at the wrong side of the company, and his car was completely contaminated.

For those interested, you can find the all-important path to that eval in the discussion here: https://www.reddit.com/r/netsec/comments/d8q2dt/vbulletin_0d...

It's not a straightforward POST -> eval but goes through a few calls, which is probably why it wasn't discovered sooner.
Germany decided, as an act of global charity, to buy renewables when they were much more expensive (they were the top global market for PV ten years ago, when PV was far more expensive than it is now), to drive them down their learning curves. This was spectacularly successful, but they are still paying for that. It says nothing about what someone else would have to pay NOW to install the same renewable capacity.

At the same time, France has tried to get its nuclear industry going again with new reactors, to disastrous result.

So if you want to build energy infrastructure in 1980, sure, go ahead and choose nuclear over renewables. If you want to do it now, that choice would be crazy.
This is the second scam that investors fell for. First Theranos and now WeWork. In both cases the founder is a cheat and a fraud. My guess is investors didn’t want to believe it’s fraud and desperately wanted it to be a real company and so kept funding them.
Generally I'd expect these kind of expenses to be tracked under Marketing, which often has a lot of leeway.

They should indeed, but I guess it's hard for those engineers in China to find a domestic company that allows them to do differently.

Moving to a foreign company in China may not actually solve the problem, and moving to a different country may not be an option at all, so they end up keep doing the bad things and pretend not to know. I have a friend there who seems to be like this.

To be fair, that's a problem with GOTO as well (which JS doesn't have, yes); you don't have to go all the way to COMEFROM to get that....

That said, with JS you can't know the overall control flow even one you have the AST, because that `foo()` function call could go anywhere depending on what people did to the global scope independently of your AST.

Come to think of it, you can't even determine control flow from the AST in C, unless everything involved has static linkage...

Ask HN: What Is Your Favorite Online Whiteboard App?
Hi HN! Where I work, we have a lot of engineers that work remotely and in other offices. Even though we make a good effort of being remote-friendly, I often feel something is still lost in the distance. I want something that can come close to the experience of people standing at a whiteboard. I've looked at a few different ones, but haven't found anything that seems good for realtime collaboration, or works on mobile devices.

My question is

What does HN use for remote whiteboarding?
Are you sure? Some comments like this one say that Warp affects YouTube speed:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21070988
There's another issue with Unicode: the same string can be encoded in many ways, which affects at least collation. On server side I deal with it with normalization[1]. I'm sure I can do it on the client with js but that just doesn't feel right.

While rendering unsafe content still can be useful, I think Google better off added trusted-types as a tag attribute for WebComponents, like per-component CSP, and not into CSP header.

Did you read the article? They specify the definition of QE (indirectly) there.
With the Internet and YouTube I don’t think it’s as much of a lemon market as it once was. The information is out there, pretty accessible actually. For example it’s not hard to find that Master and Kwikset might not be the highest security compared to other options. The problem isn’t that the information is hard to find, it’s just that most people aren’t willing to spend more for higher security (could be a few hundred dollars more once you multiply it by a few doors) and it’s easy to convince yourself cheap locks are “good enough” - after all, someone could break a window, kick in the door, etc.
I’ve noticed that many of the fancy tea companies make an earl grey that is way too bergamot-y.
This is the real problem right here.

I live in Canada and the government pays for healthcare but (or maybe 'therefore') the providers do all sorts of sleazy things to get more money like schedule separate billable in-person appointments for an STD test and the reading of the negative result of said test.
Lots of countries arrest people...the us tried to arrest its way out of the "drug crisis"

Your example would be more meaningful if there wasn't such a strong history of demonstrable and unpunished malfeasance by bank executives.

The county executive likely didn't select design or program the light....and the victims family did find justice. Your examples don't strike even a passing resemblence to what the op said. They are borderline strawmen.
Should doing arithmetic quickly in ones head be considered a virtue? I wish math classes would focus more on the abstraction aspect and less on calculation.
Interesting last sentence in the context of shipping a programming language: "It's like a marriage, it doesn't stop with the wedding."
There's a difference between failing to perform and specifically making choices that hurt others.

If the county executive knowingly chose faulty traffic lights, yeah they should go to prison.

The bankers aren't bumfuzzled or victims of circumstance, they're just not optimizing for public good or the stability of the system, because why should they? They have no incentive to. If shit goes sideways, they'll just get bailed out.

So how do we change the incentives? Not sure personal liability is the answer, but it's not the worst idea in at least some cases. (Though in this specific case, as much as I even understand what's going on, the answer is probably just standard regulation on the banks themselves)
The Fed only lends funds to financial institutions for a short term. These institutions still need deposits to meet reserve ratios (hence why they offer certificates of deposit and similar products).

It isn't immediately clear to me if there is a problem in the repo market (experts, please chime in!). It appears there were some side effects of various new regulations put in place since the last recession which resulted in a recent short term high demand for liquidity. This need for liquidity was satisfied by the central bank and everything worked the way it was supposed to work.
I understand where you are coming from, but my bank has something like 100B USD in assets under management, so I think such a plan is available to millions of people
I live in a very low crime area, yet even in my sleepy neighborhood (semi rural), we had a break-in a couple years before buying our house. It turned out to be a couple of teenagers that wanted some quick cash (probably for drugs). That was the only break-in for years, and there hasn't been one for the several years I've lived in my house, so you never know when someone will try to steal something.

That being said, a lock has to be just good enough to deter theft. In my area, that's means a simple door lock for houses and a U-lock for bicycles. In other areas, you need far more security. But to goal isn't to keep out a determined attacker, but to make it more worthwhile for the thief to move on to the next house/car/bike than to try to get past your lock.
> Essentially everyone has stolen at some point in their lives

Isn't this a fairly wild claim? I've never stolen anything and can't imagine doing so. That's a pretty dismal view of the human race isn't it.
For the Fed it’s just the “cost of doing business” at zero cost to them.

I have found Tai Chi Green Tea to be the best. They keep the tea refrigerated instead of letting the tea leaves dry out.
The only things I ask Alexa to do are

- Turn on/off the lights

- What time is it?

- What's the weather (today, this week)?

Literally that's all I've done since the thing came out. I find other interaction patterns to be inferior to just waiting to use by phone.

I hate using Alexa as a speaker since my Sonos system is far better than even the top tier Alexa hardware, and I want to use non-Amazon music services anyway. Alexa really wants to play music though as it frequently misunderstands me and tries its best to get me to like it. I wish I could disable music outright, but the product people at Amazon will never allow it.

Alexa is such a toy. It'll never be much else despite Amazon trying their damnedest. It gets things wrong frequently and isn't really life changing. They missed the smartphone boat and this will be their second fiddle.
Try Upton.

They sell an insanely broad array of teas.

So many healthcare deniers in this thread. This is, what, the second or third presidential election we've had where the central debate is about the skyrocketing cost of healthcare?

Just another anecdote, but I lost a lot of weight and felt a lot better after switching to low-carb, without ever eating a lot of processed food before.

My pet theory is that all these diets make you way more conscious of what you are eating and all you need to do is find one you are happy with.
Amazon is now throwing Alexa at the wall to see what sticks. I don’t see how this made past the initial pitch.
I think it's important to realize that this is basically shifting the whole discussion. What DoH is supposed to provide is privacy from your ISP. It's not claiming to provide privacy from the government, and most people don't expect to have DNS privacy from the government (that's not to say it's not desirable). So this point is basically just misdirection.

If your adversary is the United States government, then no, DoH isn't great for you if you're not in the United States and if the US can't get to your ISP / DNS provider anyway, and if your only DoH endpoints are owned by US companies. You also have much bigger problems than DoH is attempting to solve.
Keypads are good, especially for higher end rentals. Another lower tech (and probably more secure TBH) option is small format interchangeable core (SFIC) locks where the core can easily and cheaply be swapped out between tenants. Landlordlocks.com built a business selling this concept to landlords. I’m only jealous I didn’t think of it first :)

Ok, what's that? A Koch sounding name, but I'm guessing more Soros because of the repeated calls to government action on this (and the Dodd-Frank connection). A quick search led to a Politico article https://www.politico.com/story/2019/06/14/open-market-instit... which contained this nugget:

China would need to use their foreign reserve to do this subsidy. Ignoring belt and road all of China's internal industry subsidies use Yaun. Belt and Road use dollars but are "lent" thus in theory China is not reducing its foreign reserve.

Problem for China as we see in their capital controls is maintaining wealth in Yaun. Any subsidy which requires using foreign dollars, as paying the US postal tarrif would, weakens the states stability.
