The current claim in the media is that intermediate hosts are the vector for the virus. It is clear from published research an intermediate vector is not required.

These are all peer reviewed journals. There are no links to twitter / youtube / dark corners of the internet here. You assume that commenters on HN don't have experience working in this field.

I feel like this comment has been made without an insight into a biosafety lab's day to day workings or reading those papers from an informed perspective - so assuming a Dunning-Kruger effect through a lack of understanding of the person submitting the comments on HN. I believe this would be classed as a relativist-fallacy.
> Baker wrote on Mozilla's blog that in the last decade, the world had seen "the power of the internet used to magnify divisiveness, incite violence, promote hatred, and intentionally manipulate fact and reality." Baker then added four new manifesto principles calling for equality, discourse and diversity online in an addendum called "Pledge for a Healthy Internet."

"Equality, discourse, and diversity" are the very principles that enable people to "magnify divisiveness, incite violence, promote hatred, and intentionally manipulate fact and reality." Any attempt to promote freedom of expression while simultaneously silencing the worst of humanity is inherently at odds.

Hatred is a naturally occuring phenomina, not a learned behavior. You can't just quarantine it to make it go away. That only makes it worse.

The internet is not a breeding ground for hatred. It's just a reflection of how bad we can really be.
I am very glad that I started with and maintain simple servers that act simply as computers connected to the internet. I understand more clearly how it works and can make more informed decisions on when and why more managed services can benefit me.
Is there any consensus among Backblaze employees (or even just your personal opinion if applicable) for what brand/series of drives to use for home NAS devices?

I ask because the online favorite appears to be WD Reds, which you have phased out since 2018.
Deontology is consequentialism. I think schopenhauer is a bit of a quack but his analysis on why Kant is actually the biggest egoist (and consequentialist of then all) is super on point

Kants categorical imparative (the foundation of deontology) redundantly repeats the ancient command: "don't do to another what you don't want done to you."
Is egoistic because its universality includes the person who both gives and obeys the command.
And it's cold and dead because it is to be followed without love, feeling, or inclination, but merely out of a sense of duty.
yes this. uBlock on Android mobile has become my main reason not to buy any new iOS devices.
I have gone to YouTube lecture series for a few years for my 1hr/day commute (by car). Some notable topics that work well are history, law, psychology. Generally it depends entirely on the lecturer. Many old school lecturers don't take advantage of visual aid. Unfortunately the more technical the lecture the more it relies on visual aid and the less I am able to learn purely auditorially.

my only issue with Firefox on Mac is that streaming video from twitch will just randomly stall but this did not occur with Safari. The oddest part is that is stalls randomly when clicking back to the tab with the stream. Even with multiple streams its wholly random if one will stall the video portion or not; the audio continues and chat bar works too.

memory wise it will consume quite a bit when managing streaming content and even leave the code in memory when all related tabs are gone; I assume this happens because of the dearth of video content on many web pages

I think it does have intrinsic value - that value lies in allowing some people, in some areas, to circumvent tracking or avoid authorities. To those people, BTC brings value which cannot be had elsewhere. My personal belief is that this is what fuels BTC's value, and the rest is speculation (but then it's similar to stocks).

I don't think that whether it has this property (and value) is in question - the question is how much of BTC's price is fueled by that value.

Agreed. I grew up in a poor neighborhood. The reason I'm not poor while most of my childhood friends still are is my parents gave better advice.
This pretty much mirrors my experience.

The following may seem coldhearted, evil, or misguided, but it's the truth. After high school I wasn't making a ton of money, so moved back to near where I grew up, which was a very cheap place to live. After 2 years, I'd had it. I told my wife "I...I just hate poor people, I can't take it anymore." Maybe hate is too strong a word, but it was a feeling of constant frustration. People constantly fighting, littering, driving drunk into mailboxes, etc. When I first moved in, I felt sorry for a few of the folks, including my neighbors. But for the squalor they lived in, they made sure to sit outside blasting shitty music off their new model iphones. By the time I moved out, I had a very different view of the world, and a 'you reap what you sow' attitude.
Because Google had a big advantage:

- that started the race later slowing the to put certain "new" tech in it from the get to go instead of trying to retrofit it later

- Google had far more money for engineers and marketing.

- Google has a kinda unfair advantage through Android and Google Search.

Especially starting later after some technological shifts happend allowed them to get a technological advantage over Firefox for some time, combined with the much better image they had in the past and Android/Google search it was pretty hard for them not to become the dominant browser.

The question is why thinks didn't shift noticably in recent years?

This brings the problem that the futures doesn't look too good given the power Google now has to just push through theire stuff and given that there has been a bunch of cases where certain Google program _seem_ to have been intentionally "optimized" to be fast on chrome but _only_ on chrome and no other browser...

I think the problem is one of expectations.

You expect the 'safe, boring' choice to be slower, more expensive, more conservative in their approach.

On the other hand, you might expect them to have expertise, and you don't expect them to cut corners on good engineering to save a few dollars.

In my experience (from software) the big incumbents have the downsides you expect, but lack the upsides.
> You will be ostracized by the rich and educated groups for not fitting in, and then how will you acclimate to a higher social sphere?

What's so interesting in the rich (and supposedly educated, I'll take your word for it...) groups that you have to buy into them with expensive junk?

Do you have any idea how many uneducated rich fools there are nowadays and how they spend their wealth in just as stupid ways as the poor, the only difference being that their capital income often actually sustains that foolishness? LVMH's success is a good hint.
Dang. I was just there last year, and it was so nice.

That's my view as well, but it's built 100% from the trenches of real-world problem solving (I self-studied all of it, no formal academia in computing beyond a few intro classes).

I think it's consensual by now (at least 'round these parts) that we've gone too far with clean and patterns and being too clever for your own sake (or that of your company) and even agile (once management took the concept over and changed it to its very opposite, kinda like democracy nowadays versus the Ancient Athenian spirit if you think about it). It's all pop culture by now, see that Silicon Valley show.

The most tragic, in a sense, is that the people who created those concepts, who formalized them (extreme programming, uncle Bob, etc) very clearly stated that these are not "hard rules" and cannot work as such, ever — like we say "it's a 6" or "it's a 2" by instinct, there's no science there, no genius, just practical methods.

The minute it became some sort of KPI the whole essence turns sour, possibly detrimental to the mission.

When you approach things this way, with this prior or meta-knowledge so to speak, you can very much apply "clean code" principles to an otherwise very domain-driven model and software architecture; in fact one could argue you're making a true mathematical model — which is really not about people and compile times but about exactitude, precision, an as-honest-as-can-be mapping of a real phenomenon. Had we built physics like we approach "great code" nowadays, we'd have much prettier formulas that approximate truth in abstraction but never quite reach it. A treat for theoreticians, a nightmare for people with real-world, industrial problems.
Ironic given the amount of cyber-security companies/startups in Israel.
Favorite thing about firefox devtools is in the network tab you can right-click a network request and just resend it as-is. Don't think you can do that in chrome.
>They get slammed for being funded by Google

I don't see that at all, I mean they've been funded by Google for practically their entire existence.

On the contrary it seems to me that Firefox users find that funding the project through selling the default search engine is a good compromise as it is both easy to switch to a different search engine, and also that the vast majority use Google either way.

Also it's not as if Pocket will ever come anywhere remotely near making Mozilla self-sustainable, it's all so weird to me as this really hurts their image as a 'users-first' organisation.
With the way that they are releasing new versions frequently, It is going to be a future. Good job Mozilla!

I understand your concern and share it myself. This is an important time and we should be really careful training these things.

However, training as used in the real world isn't on a still frame only basis, it's used in sequence. And while a single frame might be missing a label, I bet that at-speed most everything important gets labeled correctly enough to be better than a distracted human driver, or the average human driver for that matter.

Then, of course, my intuition might be incorrect.
> A 100 line function can introduce subtle interactions between the first and 99th line. Whereas a three line function, the graph of potential dependencies is much smaller.

Interesting. And what happened with the other 97 lines of code? A fair comparison would be a 100 line function and maybe 20 functions of 5 lines and maybe 20 additional lines for function signatures plus maybe 20 lines coordinating the 20 functions. We also then have introduced 20 function names.

There always seems to be some romanticism of blue collar work from white collar, and vice versa. There is a thread of truth to the things each side says, but there is also a reality that is ignored.

I'm from a blue collar family in a blue collar area and have known people from various blue collar professions. Risk and physical atrophy is very real for blue collar workers. In most trades you will work with equipment that can kill, injure and maim you. Even if you avoid the equipment (and your co-workers using the equipment in your vicinity), the physical toll of daily blue collar work is going to impact your body. Most blue collar workers I know have significant physical ailments which start in their 40's or 50's. Bad knees making it difficult to walk. Bad back making your life difficult in all kinds of ways. If you're lucky, you only end up with arthritic hands, making them useless and painful in old age.

White collar work is filled with its own issues like sedentary lifestyle, sitting all day, eye strain, etc. But there is almost a zero percent chance if you getting killed or maimed by your equipment.

You could definitely take pride in operating and maintaining large expensive machines, but you also face the reality of those machines removing your fingers, limbs, or taking your life. In blue collar work there is big heavy equipment, fumes/gas, extreme heat/cold, etc.

I spent my teens and early 20's doing blue collar work (had no plans to go to college), until watching the people around me struggle physically in their 30's made me re-think that decision. Even in the limited time I spent in the trades, I still have lasting scars and injuries from things that happened to me. My scars from white collar work have only been emotional ones. I'm not belittling that, just pointing out that the grass isn't greener.

When I went in, they just checked for alcohol in your bags. They didn't ask for any proof of being a guest.
Not at all. What's naive is presuming that people in poverty are just as driven and equipped to make good decisions as you are.

Whether poverty causes ignorance and complacency or the relationship is reversed (it probably goes both ways and depends on the person) there's no question that a sizable minority, if not the majority, of people in poverty are quite content to live off of the government and spend their days idle. Partly because of the mentioned lack of guidance, partly because of ignorance, and partly because not all people have ambitions beyond having their basic needs met.

You have to put yourself into the shoes of someone who did not pay any attention in school, if they attended. Has no real grasp of the utility of math or science or knowledge in general. No intrinsic thirst for learning or accomplishment. Take food, cigarettes, maybe other drugs (alcohol included) as funds permit, cheap entertainment (TV, Facebook, Instagram), and sex, and you have a recipe for millions of content lives which are a net cost to greater society.

And what's worse is that the children of these types of people grow up in a similar environment and pick up the same fundamentally rotten culture. Sorry to be harsh but this is the reality - no amount of funds will fix broken culture.

Acid3, in particular, contains some controversial tests and no longer reflects the consensus of the Web standards it purports to test, especially when it comes to issues affecting mobile browsers. The tests remain available for historical purposes and for use by browser vendors. It would be inappropriate, however, to use them as part of a certification process, especially for mobile browsers.

If they are reporting a 33% image error rate, I would expect a large effect on accuracy no matter what the individual annotation error rates were.

I am unfamiliar with the detailed tagging standards but that also seems irrelevant until the more egregious problems are resolved. Get everything untagged first, then look for smaller scoped issues. And thanks Roboflow for doing whatever amount of this.

A case I noticed last week that was local to me where a Taiwanese market trader was confronted by other traders and told to leave [1]. There's a lot of ignorance around it, people have given themselves a bit of leeway to presume they are infectious.

The article has referenced very robust empirical evidence demonstrating that cash infusions can significantly increase IQ, lower mental health problems, and lower rates of crime. Your kid-next-door story is great, but doesn't refute any of the above.

There are many ways of tackling poverty. Education and mentorship are certainly very valid ways. And so too is expanding the social safety net. I don't know about you, but I would love to live in a society where everyone is smarter, less violent, and less prone to acting out.

That all said, its pretty clear that browsers are leaking RAM sometimes. I remember bed bath and beyond using 9 or 12GB of ram the other month.

I won't address the content of your post here - there's too much to go through and too little time.

But, I will say that Trump's supporters are both ready and unready for the fallout.

Ready because they're essentially decoupled from actual facts and information and fed entirely on the "truth" from him and his allies, so they won't ever blame him for anything.

Unready because they're not capable of handling reality, and regardless of who they are told is the reason for their problems, they have to live with it.

>No. Poverty is a lack of education and, more importantly, mentorship.

Privilege is invisible, or so they say. This is an extremely short-sighted approach to trying to find an explanation to poverty. It is also a lazy excuse to avoid thinking more, because it leads to a conclusion like "... hence why they're poor. That's it."

I hope one day you have the (mis?)fortune of living under precarious conditions, then you could judge by yourself if your preconceived notions are actually in agreement with what you will experience. And then we will see how long it takes you to "stop being poor", it shouldn't be long right?, as you, presumably, already know how to avoid making the kind of "poor decisions" that makes people stay in that situation.
