As others have said this is well beyond "cuddling speakers". But your points are fine. And if they're really unavoidable then distribute ear plugs at the entrance to your concerts. Because the alternative is a bunch of teenagers going to concerts and only later figuring out they've damaged their hearing. After all, if what you are describing is right, then the problem is even worse. A product is being sold with the knowledge that it causes harm and people are just supposed to figure out on their own to use protection while using it. It's like selling tickets to a viewing of a solar eclipse and then telling the now blind customers they should have figured out to use eye protection.
You're a person. When do you get a free thought in? In the absence of overwhelming evidence you should assume other people are probably more like you than you think, rather than making grand claims about "many" people that aren't you.
Why would you need to deal with IMAP at all for a webmail client? If the mail server is the one hosting the webmail frontend, you could read the Maildir or mbox (or whatever you're using to store emails) directly. IMAP's only really relevant for locally-installed clients (i.e. the exact thing webmail's supposed to replace).

Recently, HSAs and transparent prices were proposed by a Marketwatch article on HN.

But, assuming you have a average America "Max Out Of Pocket", price transparency over this amount doesn't have the intended effect or perhaps, as you point out, the opposite effect.

Short half lives are what make something radioactive. It's not 1:1 but basically take the amount of material / half life > how much radiation is being released.

Uranium 238 is extremely stable with a half life of 4.468 billion years, and the more active uranium 235 still has a half life of 0.7 billion years. Which is why they survived geologic timescales from earths formation.

Strontium-90 by comparison is produced in a nuclear reactor and has a half life of 28.8 years making it vastly more nasty. Further, while nuclear waste is incredibly nasty stuff, high neutron fluxes also turn the walls etc radioactive though to a less extreme extent.
Additional anecdata: Enjoyed an extended honeymoon through Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia in 2016 and my wife was bitten by a stray dog in rural Thailand early on -> 7 medical interactions involving post-exposure prophylaxis and rabies shots in all 3 countries over that next month. (She's fine BTW!). Price transparency was really amazing in all these places and I think it might be a single reform that's broadly ameliorative of the max-friction / painful experience of US healthcare. In each country, we basically called around, asked "do you have this shot and how much is it" and got a more or less straight answer, despite having some language issues everywhere but Singapore. Whole experience cost ~ $1k, including some visits for 2nd opinions to high-end private clinic in Singapore and we just gave up bothering with it on our US insurance b/c of deductibles and hassle.

The problem with leaving this to independent companies is that some of the most natural application areas are dominated by independent companies operating as a cartel -- think about credit scoring.

You seem to be conflating people keeping money in offshore accounts with cheating on taxes. Some people who have offshore accounts probably cheat. Other people are not cheating. The referenced person was not cheating, and, not that he needed it, he had a very good reason for having the offshore accounts.

Hacking in and publicizing peoples offshore account information hurts both groups. It's irresponsible. It hurts people who pay their taxes and are not doing anything wrong. If a government went in and, without any due process, started convicting people just because they had an offshore account, we would not be praising that government.

I remember my mother calling me with a machine that was making horrible noises and shutting down randomly. I told her to kick it. It took a few minutes for her to believe me. And she did.

Not all tinnitus is due to hearing damage, I think some is neurological. I had it in the past (after an apparent infection, but no true diagnostic on the root cause), and my hearing slowly recovered. I took all known treatments though (steroids during the crisis, Ginkgo Biloba extract for a while and Magnesium supplementation since then). The ringing comes back if I drink alcohol or too much coffee though, but maybe it's the usual side-effect for those substances, and now I'm just more perceptive to it.

The title is totally misleading. A wealth tax by definition is designed to be over 100%. For example, if you have $1000 and you don't make any money whatsoever and get taxed at 1%, you have to pay $10. In this hypotethical case, your income or capital gain tax rate would be infinity, but it's ridiculous to look at it that way because it is a tax on net worth. My property tax is over 100% too because I have no income from my property.
Totally should have trademarked it along with "IGlasses" in the very same pitch. The patch was apparently rejected because our level design ideas were better than the actual episodes of the show upon which it was based: "Poltergeist: The Legacy."
There's no way to really know what's going on, the CCP is acting in secret. Maybe they are disappearing peaceful protestors, maybe they are disappearing violent thugs. Once a government starts to do that (secretly suppressing, however justified), then they have also crossed a line of legitimacy.
How do you test your playbooks targeting bare metals during development? So far I’m using docker but the official base image is very different from the official ISO, that’s kinda annoying (no ssh, no python, not even ps). I’m thinking about using Vagrant. I also saw a framework called Molecule but it’s based on docker so I guess it’ll be the same problem.
CS:GO launched in 2012 so that's impressive :). You might have meant Counter-Strike (2000), Counter-Strike Source (2004) and then Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (2012), which are three different similar games in the same series.

Is eventually 3-5 years? 5-10? 10-20? I'm looking to have my current debts paid in 3-5 and down payment on a house or similar in 8-10, looking to buy (if reasonable) at that time. I'm also doing about 25% better salary wise than I'd expect at this point so that has accelerated my debt payments by a few years.

But if the economy tanks again, as it usually does after a conservative party owns the US government for a few years, then I won't have cash on hand to buy anything and could lose my job and more before paying off my debt and building serious savings for a house. I'd likely push this whole thought process out 12-15 years at best given rent costs don't increase dramatically.

In my case, I'd say it's bad.
How does this relate to wikinews?
AI now is like Cyber was in the 1990s it's seems to be nothing but a buzzword for many organizations to throw around.

The term AI is used as if humanity now has figured out general AI or artificial general intelligence (AGI). It's quite obvious organizations and people use the term AI to fool the less tech inclined into thinking it's AGI - a real thinking machine.

"Gamers" don't want Stadia. And all the negative reviews of Stadia are by people who already have console/gaming PCs.

It's targeted for those that don't have either, like me. I carry my Pixelbook everywhere and would be nice to play games on it. I don't want another device to carry around and don't have the time or patience to wait for patches/updates or the ridiculous storage requirements games have nowadays.

The only part that stumps me is why you need pay $130 for a controller and a Chromecast with "special" software on it. Isn't the whole premise that you don't need dedicated hardware to play games?

True for Amazon. There are cases, after some really hard internal fighting, of Prime enabled Dropshippers, meaning you even see the "order in x minutes for next day delivery" message. So it is definitely doable, hard work but doable. And every tech improvement to make that easier is very welcome!
I actually don't believe it's possible to, in any meaningful way, perceive and vicariously experience the emotions of others and to continue to carry any deep hostility, or to do so and not feel some degree of compassion.

Before Amazon was named Amazon, one of the original ideas for its name was Relentless.com (btw, the domain relentless.com still redirects to amazon.com). We liked the word "conviction" and what it represents. Conviction.com wasn't available, but convictional.com was available. So we bought it.

I think something people maybe aren't taking into account is that this doesn't need to be a "Facebook killer". People with Facebook also use any number of social media sites. It could just as easily be something like a Reddit substitute since it seems to be somewhat "groups" oriented.

Also, from what I can see, it isn't pay-to-play like some people have suggested. Rather, it seems to be exactly what I've seen multiple people advocate for: Pay for preferential service.

What would you call it then? It's a thing 99% of modern phones do (Android & iOS). If that's not "normal" then what is "normal" in your world?

> nor does your theory address the issue of the permissions request being explicitly denied while still gaining access

My theory was not intended to address what is obviously an OSX bug. The theory is _why_ it was asking. Why it managed to get access anyway after being denied is just a straight up permission bug in OSX and has nothing to do with Android Studio or the emulator.
That sounds at least achievable, unlike examples in OP.
My extended family uses this: https://spokt.com/

There was some talk years ago about switching to Facebook but I and a few others refused to participate on that platform and we wound up staying on Spokt.

The service is ok, nothing special, but it does serve the purpose of ongoing communication away from the spying and trash and noise and dark patterns of Facebook without having to set something custom up.
Google Maps does this for gas prices, how much more to implement a public listing or "menu" for a hospital or clinic based on published rates?
The apt comparison is between 8k cash and 6k cash + 2k opportunity cost (this is captured pretty well by the NY Times calculator)

At a certain ratio it doesn't make sense to buy (eg. imagine 1k rent vs 8k mortgage) This ratio depends on the growth rate of house prices vs opportunity cost (usually the stock market). Both markets have experienced recent instability, and their historical returns are pretty similar so it's a bit of a wash, but you do get much better liquidity with the stock market.

Personally I'm renting for 3k an apartment that would otherwise mortgage for 7k, which seems like a pretty good deal.

Starlink hasn't rendered telescopes inoperative, nor will it. They still work for 99+% of viewing time, and the satellites in question are invisible on most of the radiation band telescopes can operate on.

This is a tempest in a teapot complaint. Ground-based telescopes already need to account for the existence of satellites, airplanes, birds, the ISS, etc. The Starlink constellation is just increasing the number of the things; it's not changing the nature of the challenge.

Or would you recommend we ban microwave ovens because they deliver noise near the radio spectra we use for Internet communication?
It's rarely useful (though there are some interesting examples) but it certainly is possible represent the naturals entirely in the type system as Church encodings [1] or Peano naturals [2] entirely in the Haskell type system. You'll see some references to such things elsewhere in these threads.

You can have a "type" for 4 in peano naturals and use that as a type guard on a function that can only physically take the number 4, and the Haskell type checking system will enforce that.

Here's one very clear implementation of Peano naturals as Haskell sum type: https://github.com/kenbot/church/blob/master/PeanoNat.hs

It's rare that you need that granular of a type, though, and as pointed out in sibling response it's easy enough to do with runtime pattern matching of Integer values. But it does illustrate that type abstraction "can go deeper".

Yes. It is nearly impossible to determine the cost of treatment up front when the health cause is still unknown.

You could be there for a common cold or for phase 4 lung cancer, with costs ranging widely even just for the diagnostic procedures. You're agreeing up front to pay for the service involved to determine and eventually treat your symptoms.
I’d see if you can follow Snyk’s go-to-market playbook - sounds like you have users and you have decision makers. We’re in the same boat.

You know your target customers but perhaps you also need to understand how they buy software. For us, a website and the usual inbound tactics are great but our target customers will expect sales reps, account execs, etc.
> The fact that you don't see the difference between copying an abstract idea like an algorithm compared to literal copying of the names

An algorithm can contain literal names and you're allowed to copy them. You need to understand that what you're allowed to copy or not is the second step after having established that the work under discussion is a fixed expression (and satisfies all other necessary conditions).

> necessary for the structure, sequence, and organization of the API belies your ignorance wrt to copyright.

SSO applies after it's established that a work is a copyrighted fixed expression -- it's the second step; it does not, and cannot, establish that things that are not works are. The SSO of a non-copyrightable thing, like an algorithm or a protocol is not protected.

> One involves no "this piece of the original is listed here in the reimplementation, verbatim" and the other does.

What you're allowed to copy or not of a copyrighted work is irrelevant to what you're allowed to copy, or not, of a non-copyrighted work. You are allowed to copy, verbatim, anything that's copyable from non-copyrighted works.

For example, if I tell you an original story at a bar, the story is not copyrighted. Therefore, you are clearly allowed to repeat it verbatim, write it down etc. It's not that copying verbatim, SSO, translations of anything is not allowed; it's that doing those things for copyrighted works might not be allowed. The action matters only after the work is determined to be copyrighted. Another example: distributing photos of copyrighted images might be an infringement. Your face, if you show it in public, isn't a copyrighted work. Do you think that "the SSO argument" states that the SSO of your face is protected?

> Do you understand SSO arguments?

Yeah, but clearly you don't. SSO, like translation, is one of the kinds of protected derivations of a copyrighted work. It is not used to define what is or isn't a work. Protocols are not copyrighted, and so their translation and SSO are not protected. Programs are copyrighted works, and so the argument goes that their SSO is protected.

Once more, two steps: first, is it a work that satisfies the necessary conditions for copyright (yes for programs, no for algorithms/protocols); second, if the first part holds, what kinds of copies and derivations are allowed (SSO, translation, verbatim copies of small parts etc)?

You don't need to concern yourself with SSO or verbatim copies until you've established that the work is copyrighted. If it's not -- like in the case of an algorithm or a protocol -- the argument is completely irrelevant.
Between Drive and Photos. Also it's only one way now, up, you can no longer sync photos between computers. It was major news for Photos users when it happened. I'll provide a link for more info. There was a large amount of functionality lost when this happened. Iirc it also dropped the ability to save Photos in native resolutions higher than the compressed Google format but I'm not 100% on that since I sync my family photos using Plex to my own server.

Doesn't the Android emulator run in QEMU?
And doesn't qemu actually emulate a Soundcard?
So it makes sense that when the emulator starts and boots the kernel in the VM it will probe the devices and act as an audio in&out pass thru, like the virtual SD card, or like the network connection or everything else really...

Coding a special SDK image to adapt to the host system permissions doesnt make any sense. Android will always have access to hardware, and you're testing that it will work on Android, not on an emulator...
Computing is a fundamental skill that forms the basis for all of modern life. We here at hacker news are constantly advocating that everyone (in the US) should learn some amount of programming, and I believe the same holds true in North Korea.

As a concrete example of the things I taught, look at the official KCNA webpage http://www.kcna.kp (North Korea's main state run newspaper).

This webpage is very poorly designed, and cannot even be indexed by Google due to poorly implemented AJAX queries. In my classes, we would talk about why this is bad design and how to improve it. The DPRK would benefit from producing better webpages, but so would the rest of the world. These webpages are one of the few sources we have for understanding life in North Korea, and I personally want to encourage the North Koreans to fill them with high quality and easy to access content. Currently, they simply don't have enough skilled programmers capable of performing these tasks.

IMHO, this is a clear example of how teaching computer science benefits both the North Koreans and Americans without improving North Korean hacking skills.
Can you elaborate on this comment? I really don't understand what you are trying to say
For a successful port: the hardware must attract the interest of a team of developers, so this hardware platform...

(1) must be available globally.

(2) must be valued by developers as worthwhile, i.e. for a specific propose.

(3) must be relatively easy to reverse engineer, e.g. platform is not too new.

Thinkpad laptops are already popular among developers and hackers, and used machines and motherboards can be obtained cheaply for a low price, each generation often uses a pretty standard design, only with a newer chipset. As a result, it became the "reference machine" for a lot of developers, including developers working on security and privacy projects. The server motherboard is a thing because there are hardware hackers who are interested in FOSS-friendly and secure server platforms.

On the other hand, there are huge numbers of consumer desktop motherboards with a lot of variations, every single one needs to be reverse-engineered independently. We don't see a platform to gain the critical mass yet.
At the same time, the criticism is useless without knowing the podcasts someone is listening to.

Pretty big difference between listening to Wendy Williams vs, I don't know, philosophical debates and deep dives into history and all sorts of intellectually stimulating things. Most people I know including myself listen to the latter which is nothing short of welcome mind-expansion and I'm a more interesting person as a result of it.

People listening to podcasts or reading books really aren't the people I'm worried about in the modern era.
