I'd lie suggesting that a Linux Desktop is more secure than a Windows Desktop, but my solution with my father's just been installing a Linux distro and helping him there instead, considering there's no market to make consumer viruses for Linux.

I've recently started looking at "Neverware CloudReady" (ChromeOS for regular machines), i think that'd be the perfect OS for my father, considering almost everything he does is done through the browser, but still has a few applications that needs local execution. (And they seem to support the Crostini Linux app beta thingy that Google is working so hard on for ChromeOS).
I can highly recommend Arq with the cloud storage provider of your choice. I switched after Crashplan screwed with their plans and have been very happy.
I fear more and more podcasts are going to start locking you into a podcast app.

I don't view it as backlash. It's interesting and necessary conversation. I want to hear what the HN community thinks.
Yep - that's the vague amorphous idea I had rattling around my head, just described by somebody who knows what they're doing.

As stated - it's getting the initial adoption going that's problematic. Probably pointing out the obvious, but NPR bought my favourite client Pocket Casts. At naive glance, looks like a good fit. NPR already has an excellent group of people who've donated (so whole bunch of people paying already) and with this would give them a way of rewarding them with the adverts removed. Plus think both sides of this would be advocates for still allowing the output to be available widely, and not walled up somewhere.
> Why does it have to be about damages?

If someone attacks you, and causes physical or even mental damage, they typically face criminal and/or civil penalties.

That's common, throughout the world.

> Not every mistake needs to be punished.

Maybe so. But the people responsible for the damage could proactively offer compensation. That'd arguably be the honorable and compassionate thing to do.

> It was a false positive, and it was heartening to see that all the parties acted fast enough.

It's clear that they acted recklessly. So it's not just a "false positive". And what's "fast enough"? A few days after a totally implausible attack isn't that fast. It should have been fixed within the day. After at most a few emails.
There's a whole host of systematic reasons why women (as a group) might choose not to pursue a CS degree. As a hiring manager I can choose to complain about the ~pipeline~ (which i conveniently can't change nor appreciably effect in the short term) or I can re-examine my existing assumptions (namely whether a CS degree is necessary for filtering).

I'm, personally, not really a fan of programs that are trying to shuffle people into a specific degree to improve employment representation rather examining what skills are necessary to do the job in the first place. The university as proxy for job training model, I feel, is perverse and doesn't necessarily serve students nor employers.
Is the risk there for people who sniff them as well? I have some friends who like their adder too much
I was in China recently, and the number of surveillance cameras there is bewildering. I suppose when you buy this brand you benefit from cutting edge technology funded by the investment the state has made...

Fascinatingly, China has a mix of public - private infrastructure. E.g. wireless payments are provided by WeChat and AliPay (although in the West it's not much different, it's Visa/MasterCard), and I guess in the US, Amazon is the private side, and the cops are the public side.
Try sitting on your hand before seeking past podcast ads next time. It makes it feel like someone else is exploiting them instead of you.
In doctor-land, you are trying to solve a particular problem with a particular patient, the assumption being that once that problem is solved, the patient will remain self-regulating.

In political-theory-land, you assume all actors are bad, are at least will become bad at some point in the future. The question then becomes *how can we organize our political structures so that if we can't prevent dying, can we at least provide guidance to the next government that follows?"

It naturally follows that the real goal is not solving problems: it is providing problems and solutions that people can accept. If nothing else, providing problems and solutions in terms that future generations can reason about.
> I don't see how you can call that a "lie".

It's a lie because the URL being displayed does not reflect the source of the bits.

> If I'm offline and I open an offline cached page in my browser, would you call it a lie if the browser displays the URL I originally downloaded that page from

That's a bit of a gray area. Yes, it is a lie (the browser should provide an indication of the actual source of the bits). On the other hand, the cache was created by you and exists on your own machine, so it's more of a little white lie in that case.
What's the downside to having a amazon camera in your bathroom or bedroom recording what you do? If you don't care at all about your privacy it doesn't matter. If you are concerned with the massive surveillance and data collection amazon and google does it would make sense to try and limit the amount of data you hand over to them.

The idea that simply owning a cell phone invalidates any effort or incentive to try to keep the personal details of your life from any company ever is deeply flawed.

We all make trade-offs and must decide for ourselves what amount of data we're comfortable handing over to companies who profit from surveillance capitalism. Personally, I can install a camera without giving amazon data about me. I can't get a cell phone that doesn't leak information to google or apple (although I can try to limit what I use my cell phone for and what data those devices leak)
How exactly does that work? How does it decide what variables to rename and what to rename them to?
I think capital would usually be some real asset (building, factory, stocks, etc) and not cash, and if so shouldn't be affected by inflation.

No expert though, I may be wrong :)
> Aesthetics isn’t a subjective and trivial attribute used for ornamentation. It serves an important purpose in the user experience. It determines whether users trust your app, perceive it as valuable, and are satisfied using it.

I have to ask: how much of that is that there is an inaccessible visual brand that has been pushed into general use and that people have come to recognize, and how much is actual perception?

When I stare at the AAA accessible and the "aesthetic" versions of the form on that page, the biggest difference I perceive is how easily my eye can chunk and pass over it as a piece. In the aesthetic one, I can easily grab "Sign Up" as the relevant header and then focus my attention to pull up the rest. In the accessible one, I don't have as easy a time with that. Which makes me think that both versions have typography problems, since we've managed to make black and white print pages that allow that kind of chunking for quite a while now.
Lmao, because you are draining their platform's content creators of value?

> There are a lot of people genuinely suffering unexplained symptoms, real pain, who are drawn into the seductive explanations of the “chronic Lyme” communities online.

However, some of this is the fault of the modern medical establishment who want to stop looking and treating at 6-12 months if you don't have something mainstream diagnosable. And "Lyme" was the medical establishment dumping ground for a lot of those people--the modern equivalent to "hysteria".

In addition, modern medicine is finding that there are physiological after effects to lots of diseases even once the primary disease is cured. This is unsurprising (look at the aftereffects of polio and rubella, for example), but doesn't really seem to get discussed much since medicine can't really do anything if a virus damages nerves, for example.

(As someone who had to have his gallbladder removed, this infuriated me. I couldn't get anyone to give me any treatment for gallstones other waiting to remove my gallbladder. And, once it was removed, any digestive complications afterward were just "sucks to be you". Um, sure, the alternative was death, but is it really a "treatment" if a significant chunk of people have negative lifestyle implications afterward? And why aren't we looking for a better actual treatment? Preferably one that doesn't involve ripping out body chunks?)

However, blowing off a significant subset of people who have real symptoms is part of the reason why alternative medicine continues to have such a following in spite of the fact that it doesn't actually work.
You are qouting Niall Ferguson??? haha

https://www.rtings.com/tv/tests/inputs/input-lag

It seems most get under 20ms lag when put into game mode, which I'd think is what matters to most people. At that point, when it isn't daisy-chained with any other lag (so a wireless controller delay will make a difference), it's imperceptible to me. I am not a professional gamer though, and from what I understand the higher refresh rates that pro gamers use (such as a 240 Hz monitor) have measurable improvements in their performance as gamers.
Let's try this...It isn't me anyone needs to convince. An appeal to authority is appropriate when said authorities control the browsers needed for the proposal to succeed.

One of those 6 labels is "non-harmful". It's it isn't harmful, that seems right. Here's the legend:

"Mozilla does not see this specification as harmful, but is not convinced that it is a good approach or worth working on."

Mozilla didn't choose that label.

My view is that the proposal was driven by a desire to make AMP less icky. It looks like it could have broader benefit if the concerns Mozilla outlined are addressed. I am skeptical Google will do that.

As for your characterization of yourself as "well informed" and me as, er, something else...really? Was that necessary?
In particular I know one code base of consultant written Java where part of their contract was 100% Javadoc coverage and 100% test coverage, so you would see tests of getters and setters and Javadoc for getFoo(): "Gets the value of foo"

The code worked, but 80% of it added no value.
The gold standard in microbiology for diagnosing an infectious disease has always been to culture the organism alive. Despite notorious difficulties in culturing Borrelia burgdorferi, in about 30 studies this organism has been cultured alive from patients despite at least standard antibiotic therapy, and in many cases after antibiotics far in excess of what is deemed curative by IDSA and CDC. If the pathogen that causes a disease is still present in conjunction with symptoms compatible with that infection, it would appear to me that the fundamental questions about the cause of long term symptoms should have been answered a very long time ago. To add insult to injury, recent studies from Tulane, Johns Hopkins, and Northeastern University all demonstrate that we can’t even kill Borrelia in the test tube with the currently recommended antibiotics. What are the chances that a second disease of mysterious etiology but with the same symptoms as the first disease, would come and replace the first disease when there is published evidence that the pathogen which causes the first disease persists despite both short and long-term antibiotics? There are numerous chronic bacterial infections which require long-term combination antibiotic therapies: Tuberculosis, leprosy, coxiella endcocarditis, brucellosis, Whipple’s. Why should Lyme be different?

>In 2016, Venkata Raveendra Pothineni and colleagues at Stanford reported on new drug candidates against Borrelia burgdorferi using a technique known as high-throughput screening. They ranked disulfiram as number one in activity against Bb among their top 20 hits.

>Dr. Kenneth Liegner has had the longest experience treating tick-borne infections with disulfiram. He is seeing sustained remissions of six months or more after completing treatment in many patients.
Dr. Liegner’s first patient had been on triple antibiotic treatment for eight years for Lyme disease and babesiosis, and could not stop his treatment regimen without suffering a relapse. He took disulfiram for four months and has now been off all treatment for almost two and a half years, feeling better than ever.
https://www.lymedisease.org/disulfiram-kinderlehrer-2/

Disulfiram is a gamechanger. People on reddit, on facebook and in the casestudy of Dokter Kenneth Liegner[0], people who were still sick after they were on antibiotics for years, are suddenly seeing amazing improvements after only a short time on Disulfiram.

Strange isn't it that an antimicrobial has such amazing results for a disease that supposedly is psychological or autoimmune...

I think this means that there's so much capital out there that you can operate without any profit until you dominate the market, so your users will effectively be convinced that you are a saint. Just remember to lock down the system from yourself and don't say anything that can break this illusion.
In the days since 1 GHz CPUs, web pages have also grown from simple HTML/CSS to huge JavaScript frameworks, in which displaying the simplest static content requires a ton of JavaScript.

But if you install a browser add-on such as uMatrix, you can see that surprisingly many web sites will still work just fine if you disable JavaScript (even first-party JavaScript). One example is nytimes.com.
It's because of the GPL3 and the "tivoization" clause. Apple was stuck on GCC 4.2, the last GPL2 version, for a very long time because subsequent versions made the move to GPL3. LLVM and Clang were the way Apple could move past having an obsolete toolchain.
Would you say the same thing to every other podcast app company (including Apple) and tell them to remove the 30 second forward button?
Missed the edit window, but a potential hiccup with this is wiping of user data off of the storage. Once Apple says "yeah you can activate it" I'm not sure if they could enforce a disk wipe. Maybe the data is encrypted with something linked to your Apple ID, and reactivation means the data is junked? Not sure how that works.
What? Can you put in probabilistic terms what "this is not the case" is?

There are an infinite number of models where p(HHTHT | model) != 1, or where p(HHTHT | model) = 0. We need to know which one you're referring to, in order to calculate a p-value.

I think you have made a serious error by believing you can simply "reverse" the model p(HHTHT | conspiracy model) = 1, p(everything else | conspiracy model) = 0.

If the null hypothesis is a fair flip, then the alternative can't be a conspiracy, because the null and alternative need to be complementary statements. So if the null is fair flip, then the alternative is "not fair flip".

edit: whoops, changed mutually exclusive to complementary. see http://www.its.caltech.edu/~mshum/stats/lect8.pdf
OpenText acquired Documentum, which itself acquired a whole bunch of other companies earlier.

They're both to me agglomeration of barely integrated, confusing products that require a small army to maintain.
This is silly. The most important "ability" of a wedding photographer, bar none, is to not screw up the part where they're actually capturing photos of the event. A wedding is a one-time event that people care a lot about, so this alone is probably well worth the $1000+ premium. Retouching the photos is something that anyone will be able to do at any time, given the untouched originals.

Google could restrict the content loaded in AdSense iframes and apply AMP restrictions to ad content only. They also have the means to limit the number of ads partners can load on a page, and restrict the overzealous use of Google Tag Manager which slows down sites.

Google offers both the poison and the antidote, and each of their solutions, see what they're doing with request blocking in Chrome, happens to erode user liberties and privacy rights to concentrate power around Google properties.
Your reference to boys town missed the point. Boys town didn't run out of orphans to spend money on. They simply failed to spend a large amount of it on orphans.

Do you have a source for that?

My understanding is that boys town did run out of orphans who met their requirements. There simply aren't enough orphans in the USA with no family to take care of them who slip through the cracks of the adoption system.

But that fact didn't slow their appeals for more money.

That said, my understanding is based on my memories of a book that I don't presently have a copy of.

Lag might still be an issue depending on the electronics, but the screens have a roughly 10us response time.
> a Bayesian looks at this and says that no matter what prior you pick, the knowledge that they planned to have children until they had both a boy and a girl does not affect your posterior conclusion

A Bayesian would say no such thing. A Bayesian would agree that the knowledge that they planned to have children until they had both a boy and a girl doesn't affect your prior: you still are picking how much probability mass you allocate to all of the possible odds of having a boy vs. a girl, and the couple's plans don't affect that.

However, a Bayesian would also say that the knowledge that they planned to have children until they had both a boy and a girl significantly changes the likelihood ratio (or p-value, if you prefer to use that) associated with the observed data. And one of the advantages of Bayesianism is that it forces you to make that explicit as well.

Notice, for example, that when you calculated the first p-value of 1/8, you implicitly assumed that the couple's plan was "have 7 children, no matter what gender each of them is". The sample space is therefore all possible arrangements of 7 children by gender, and the p-value is 1/8, as you say.

But when you calculated the second p-value of 1/32, while you did change the count of arrangements, you failed to recognize that the sample space changed! Now the possibilities are not just all possible arrangements of 7 children (which is what you used), but all possible arrangements of up to 7 children (because the "stop condition" now is not when there are 7 children total, but when there is at least one child of each gender, and that could have happened at a number of children less than 7). So the correct p-value is not 4/2^7, but 4/(2^7 + 2^6 + 2^5 + 2^4 + 2^3 + 2^2) = 4/(2^8 - 2) = 2/127. A Bayesian, who has to calculate the p-value starting from the hypothesis, not the data, would not make that mistake.

And Bayesianism does something else too: it forces you to recognize that the p-value is not actually the answer to the question you were asking! By the p-value criterion, at least with the typical threshold of 0.05, the null hypothesis (that your aunt and uncle are not biased towards having one gender) is rejected. But a Bayesian recognizes that the prior probability of the gender ratio, based on abundant previous evidence, is strongly peaked around 50-50, much more strongly peaked than data with a bias equivalent to a p-value of 2/127 can overcome. So the Bayesian is quite ready to accept that your aunt and uncle had no actual bias towards having boys, they just happened to be one of the statistical outliers that are to be expected given the huge number of humans who have children.

> As for Lyme disease: The actual infection can be treated with a standard course of antibiotics. The infection does not persist indefinitely, although some people experience long-lasting effects after the infection is gone.

I don't think it's possible to make an absolute statement like this with 100% certainty given the current state of the art. Lyme is a spirochete, and there also seems to be real research suggesting it can grow biofilm to make it antibiotic resistant or resurgent.

There are patients who test positive under CDC criteria, take antibiotics, and never see a transition from IgM to IgG.

There are also patients who test postive under CDC criteria, take antibiotics, see a transition, but still experience symptoms (what you would call 'long-lasting effects'). In some cases patients in that situation have extreme gland swelling that when biopsied, seem to contain Lyme.

Like all of medicine, I think it's squishier than what you're describing. There is also a lot of crazy shit on the internet, but like you say, that's because people are genuinely suffering and have no alternatives.

Haha looks like we googled the same thing at the same time.

This seems to just be TVs too - monitors get much better numbers. I find higher input lag to be much less of an issue when using analog sticks vs a mouse.

For me at least the difference between ~2ms and ~10ms input lag is very noticeable when aiming with a mouse, but basically imperceptible with say a wired 360 controller (I'm assuming the 360 controller isn't adding significant input lag itself though).

The problem with education in America is not government and policy, but individuals, families and culture. Many school districts across the country have horrid graduation rates and median test scores. The amount of money you pour into these districts has very little impact on student outcomes.

How different would wage growth and average wages look like if the people in these districts took school seriously? The numbers would probably be much better.
