Uptake of subscription services might make this a non-issue, if it is sizable enough to make a minority of people who want to own media. If the providers of subscription services can solve the disappearing and exclusive content problems. Maybe fights over rights will be there instead, with 'exclusive' distribution rights to media being limited and a right to buy. I tend to think that a change such as requiring copyright holders to sell to everyone or no-one under the same terms would mean us consumers would no longer be stuck needing to hoard, and most of us would be happy to pay our monthly fees to have access to everything delivered to our TVs.
Maybe that's why SF is declaring emergency so early
They have a beef with Cloudflare over Cloudflare removing EDNS Client Subnet for privacy reasons.
Disney was pushing the "Bob Iger recreates Disney with Disney+" story for months recently...presumably they would have lessened his perceived role in the media if it meant having a smoother transition. From my perspective the reason for his retirement is something that has come up within the past 4 months or so.

It really depends on the game.

Getting specific on the skill works very well on simple FPS games, just like bots are easily beat all of the top players. Basically this is true for the games that rules are extremely simple, there's no place left to play the metagame.

While a lot of games with sufficiently complicated mechanisms where people cannot process accurately, meta could come into play. For example, people spend quite some time making the computer beat human in the chess game, when human only have some not accurate meta experience.

Also, meta is probably the most useful skill for learning new games. A decent RPG player would infer the plot and mechanism in new RPG games, whereas a strategy game player could quickly find out what's the trade-off between all the viable options much quicker than others. A player with all genres experiences can adapt any games real quick.
My doc, who's a great diagnostic, has a fantastic network and usually knows his shit prescribed a pain killer (Vimovo, which in addition to the pain killing compound contains a proton-pump inhibitor. The compound which reduces acid production in the stomach, so that the pain killer is much more gentle to it).

He advised to take it after food, which is true for any old pain killer (for example Ibuprofen), but not for such specific medications.

In fact it should be taken half an hour before a meal.

That's the reason why it's prescription only and deployed by a pharmacist, who immideately caught it an gave me correct advice.

Then your security strategy definitely needs improvements, since malware often uses hardcoded IPs to bypass DNS proxying/forwarding that corporate networks use. Seriously, this argument could be used to say we should be using HTTP instead of HTTPS, but anyone doing security knows if they really need that level of introspection they need to MITM HTTPS traffic with a MITM proxy. If you care that much, you also need to MITM DoH/DoT traffic.
Racial Profiling Goes High Tech
I have serious doubts that tech is making us happier, overall, and that is’s actually significantly improving productivity, outside a few areas where is has done so massively such that the effect is still strongly positive.

Exceptions for certain areas like medical research, obviously, but really, things were fine before Netflix and free long distance and such.
You're treating the population as a homogenous mass, indistinguishable from each other. That assumption is not correct. Look at age, existing health conditions, smoking, drinking cohorts and you'll see that certain groups have much higher death rates.

Also consider that some infected people do not show any symptoms. The diagnostic kits are limited and take time to process. When a cluster of people get symptoms, they overwhelm health services. All of these issues and others combined can cause chaos in an undefined way. The most harmful effect is loss in faith in society and the economy as we collectively regress to a scarcity mindset.

And in such a situation, if you're highly compensated because you've job hopped, moving on to get a better experience or skills might mean that you have to take a pay cut. No one's stupid enough to pay a job hopper well above market value.

Edit: Furthermore, there's a well-defined career track for job hoppers, it's called being an independent contractor. You know what you're worth and you set your rate, and it's generally assumed that you know how long you're going to stay in a position when you start, and you only accept positions that are the length you want.
As much as I love unit tests (being simpler and running more than 1000 times faster than web tests) there is a place for basically all types of tests in a CRUD application. 100% unit test coverage isn't going to help you if you can't actually spin up the whole system and serve requests over high-level protocols.

It's all about ROI, and ROI is huge for simple high-level smoke tests.
Lead author here. We found further evidence of drag saturation in hurricane winds, which was independently discovered in the field and laboratory in 2003. Drag saturation means that the air-sea drag coefficient ceases to increase with wind speed beyond some value. This happens in strong winds, between tropical storm and Cat. 1 hurricane force. It's one of essential key unknowns for accurate hurricane prediction.

Data from the leading laboratory study that discovered drag saturation (Donelan et al., 2004) was used soon after to implement the surface drag parameterization for tropical cyclones in the most widely used numerical weather prediction model (WRF). The original study is highly cited and referred to by influential review papers. The WRF parameterization in question has been used by many tropical cyclone prediction studies.

During our analysis, we discovered an error in the original Matlab source code used by Donelan et al. (2004). The error appears in the scaling of in situ wind to the reference height of 10 m. With the original stress data, which we have, the correction is straightforward. The corrected data are now in agreement with the field data in low-to-moderate winds, which is encouraging.

The bottom line is, the original data underestimated the level of drag saturation by 34%, and overestimated the wind speed threshold at which the saturation occurs by 12%. If you use any isftcflx setting other than 0, the air-sea drag in your WRF model is significantly underestimated.
The default behavior of tmux when multiple users are attached to the same session is that each user shares the same active window. With screen users can choose the active window independently of others.

You can get similar behavior in tmux by creating a new session with the "group-name" argument set to that of the name of the session you want to attach to.
Of course the President can fire the people who disagree with him. In fact he should do that if the people are preventing the implementation of the President's lawful policies. The Constitution is pretty darn clear on this point:

Article 2. Section 1: The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.

Of course it is also possible for a President to make poor decisions, but the trend towards criminalizing policy differences is not a healthy one. Elections are the solution to poor executive decisions, which is NOT the same thing as unlawful actions.
Not quite. First you need to eliminate your own hung piece blunders and look for opponents'. But that gets you to 1000-1500 then you need to notice tactics.

There is overlap, in that the simplest single-move tactics (forks and skewers) are almost the same as catching immediately hung pieces.
In my experience, medication interactions are both solidly in the wheelhouse of physicians and taken quite seriously. As someone below pointed out, it's still a huge problem, and having more eyes and a distinct training/set of skills in the pipeline is a win for everyone.

I do not know this as a fact, but I don't believe US pharmacists are able to adjust dosing on the fly - though of course they can and do reach back out to physicians with questions.

I had an experience recently that really solidified my respect and appreciation for pharmacists though. I was standing in line behind a older gentleman who had maybe a 10 minute conversation with the pharmacist. I tried to mind my own business but couldn't help but hear the overall gist. He was very confused about what his medication was for and especially how to take it. The pharmacist clearly had a relationship with him and wrote down schedule based on the meds he was already taking. He thanked her by name and she told him she's give him a call later in the week to check in on how he was managing.

I was curious (and the last person in line) so I asked her about her work and how often she ends up so involved. Apparently she made lots of calls throughout the week to people, and people came in confused about their medications often enough. By percentage it sounded like a minority of the patients, but her assistance was obviously super important to a lot of people in the neighborhood.

I don't think I've ever asked a pharmacist for more info on my life, but I'm very grateful they exist as a resource. At the very least, I think it's important we don't think of pharmacies as counting factories that can be replaced by robots. And while I'm all for dropping the price of healthcare across the board, I hope the kind of value that kind of one-on-one interaction at least gets it's fair shake in any accounting done thinking about making a switch to tele-pharmacies and the like.
I think I'd prefer radiologists use both computationally filtered and this. Computational filtering has also advanced over the years.

I've had limited success. IME it's critical to make them as deterministic as possible without being too specific. Non-random test data coupled with 'id' attributes on interacted elements help a lot. Beyond that each webdriver abstraction has quirks one must learn.

Animations and rendering races are sticky points too. Usually it's possible to put in some strategic waits to get consistent results.

Lastly getting them running in parallel can be tough, but the payoff is usually worth it if the number of tests must grow beyond a few dozen.
There was. They are doomed. It's a bad idea.

Why is this question relevant? Let's say the reason was that walmart thinks their core competency is supply chain management, healthcare isn't part of that, and they only entered because the healthcare industry gravy train has reached insanely high levels that they simply could not refuse, what then?

Paranoia? What exactly is paranoid about being concerned about the browser sending all firefox users traffic for an entire nation to a single party which has the technical ability to monitor all this traffic and under which current norms have essentially zero protection under the law?

Surveillance at large providers is an unambiguous fact, centralizing all user's traffic at one makes it tremendously easier.

The majority of US broadband users are on comcast, which as reported-- in spite of stinking in many respects has made similar public commitments to cloudflare to not monetize this data.

I think you likely have it reversed which threat model is more fringe and which is more concerning.
Ask HN: How do I approach improving website latency?
Hello,

I recently put together a side project using GCP on
a MEAN stack. It involves a load-balancer performing ssl-termination, then routing to a small instance, which then returns static assets. Once the static assets are received, the browser will render the html and make another call to the backend, which then loads some data from a managed mongoDB stack and returns that data to be rendered as well.

The load time for the website is ~15 seconds total, the first half of which being for the initial call involving only static assets. I am trying to figure out why it is so slow but am having trouble doing so.

The instance is in Iowa (us-central1) while I am in Seattle. I tried only serving plain html/css in the initial call, but load time was still terrible.

I am not sure where I should focus my investigation, or if this is to be expected for an instance so far away, and if I just need to have an instance closer to me. Let me know what you think

I feel like the debate between the "don't panic" crowd and the "preppers" is a useless semantic debate between extremists.

You want to react the appropriate amount. For the time being, you should go about your normal routine, but like the CDC said today, you should prepare for some major lifestyle disruptions.

Yes, it's called "fun". It's using the game as a platform for creativity and expression, not merely optimization for a fixed arbitrary set of rules.

Saying that this doesn't count is you saying "you're having fun wrong".

It's also why professional sports evolve rules to stop camping strategies like scoring 1 pt and then sitting on the ball/puck unitl the clock runs out.
DoH is significantly richer than DNS itself because of session reuse.

DNS is cached, other than potential ambiguity related to shared hosts (which can be resolved by looking at SNI)-- I'm failing to see how DNS is richer than the traffic itself. Less costly to monitor? Sure.

A polite way to say this would be "Can you clarify what your concern is?" or "Can you clarify what you're referring to?". The original phrase drips with disdain. If that's not the intended sentiment, then well, that's a challenge of conveying emotions in text. You could always include an emoji to better convey the meaning :-)

Some phrases come with a built-in sentiment that people will assume exists unless it's overridden.

The mozilla policy allows cloudflare to permanently store and exploit per-domain-name but not per user data. So even going by the letter of the policy and considering cloudflare alone there is still a privacy loss.

Moreover, the current legal standard in the US is that users have no expectation of privacy for data that third parties have stored about their activity. As a result there is potentially limited to no due process protection for user information in this scheme. Cloudflare could be required to turn the information over via an administrative subpoena and without the oversight of even a court or any ability for the impacted users to learn about or challenge the surveillance.

> I will say that I trust Cloudflare a whole heckuva lot more than I trust Comcast, Charter, AT&T, Verizon, etc. to be practicing good security

Than any one of them? I could imagine that. Than all? Cloudflare is a much bigger target.

> I see this decentralizing DNS request data.

Could you elaborate on that? I see this as massively centralizing DNS request data (onto cloudflare) and this change is the most problematic part of the whole thing.
Making Halo 3 Audio
Honestly, twitter and the social media outlets should be on top of that and whilst many think it's a waste of time for the police to be doing that, they need to remember that there are laws pertaining to communications that equally apply to later technology and should be applied.

So I'm just fine with them doing it and if anything, you could say they are a bit soft upon that front.

I'd add that until these twitter crimes see twitter pay a fine for each instance, they will carry on. Sure it won't be fair, but the unfairness has been one-sided too long and not just twitter - all social media platforms.

[EDIT ADD reference to pertaining communications act]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communications_Act_2003

This superceeded the 1984 laws
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecommunications_Act_1984

But they both cover communications that will cause offence.

What has changed perhaps is what people define as offencive. Now that is a matter of debate that will go on for ages, but I don't hold any disdain for the police in that respect, not do I have any experience upon that matter to draw upon.
