Indeed, Vector's managed Matrix service is quite a bit cheaper than Slack. but it's also effectively subsidized by Matrix's patreon backers, such as myself. Not necessarily saying this is right or wrong, just that the money always comes from somewhere.

Additionally, as a rather dedicated Matrix user and advocate, it's clearly less stable and usable than Slack at present. See e.g. the effort towards a complete rewrite of the Riot on mobile and significant changes to Riot on web. Most third-party clients are not feature complete and are often rather unstable themselves (e.g. I am a heavy user of the Weechat python plugin but it takes expertise to get it up and running). The pricing no doubt accommodates the fact that anyone adopting Matrix for business use is going out on a limb to some extent.
I think the original commenter was going for an encrypted copy-on-write setup, not some magical compressed fs. Just a base image (eg 50GB) with various encrypted delta images (1GB each) that are assigned to each user.
I've often wondered about this idea.

However, it seems that the most probable things come to pass in nature -- at least more frequently than less probable events. So, what makes matter more probable than antimatter (assuming this statement is even true)?

How would eliminating the profit margin make it more economically attractive develop these products?

Perhaps more solutions would be developed, but they would have to be subsidized.
100M Masks/Day: Automated Production Lines Work Overtime to Stop Covid-19 Spread
I used to be able to do this - take a double espresso, wait an hour, and sleep through the night. But as I've gone through my 40's, insomnia's been a problem.

Further, Pollan's interview suggested that even if I could sleep, caffeine was interfering with "deep wave sleep" - so I gave it a shot. I consider myself lucky that none of the headaches or [extra] irritability kicked in, so there's that.
I fully agree. Removing the master branch which is just fluff that noone uses you essentially come to trunkbased development.
If there’s a profit, yes. But try explaining “sorry we have the ability to treat you but you’re going to die because the medicine isn’t profitable enough for a company to produce”.
No. Please do not suggest this ever.

Every company I've worked at and that has gone with self-hosted products have lost more money than paying the subscription.

Self-hosted nearly never gets upgraded because there's no budget and it can always be cut from the budget because it'll keep functioning.

Corp IT who usually get stuck managing these become the gatekeepers. They have nearly zero incentive to upgrade because the risk is they take down the whole thing for longer than the maintenance window.

During this time the product innovates & none of this is usable until the upgrade. I've seen whole teams created to build out tooling on top of Jira only to find out if the company had spent $100k they could have upgraded and gotten the features.

Nobody knew said features existed because nobody had been exposed to the most recent version and we had a 4 year old version.
>You can MitM the LPC bus with an external TPM, faking PCRs.

A better way would be to privately support and further nonprofit efforts to compete, such as Civica Rx (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civica_Rx https://duckduckgo.com/?q=civica+rx&ia=web ).
It’s ironic how Facebook uses all kinds of lies and dark patterns to steal data from their users but gets pissed off when someone else does it (or provides services for it as it is in this case).
uMatrix basically does that for you now.
I think the parent comment was more likely referring to using these devices for personal privacy. For example can a criminal steal my personal information in my phone vs. can the government spy on me. Where the government might spend a million dollars to do this process to read the phone of a terrorist, but a criminal probably wouldn't to steal my personal information off of a phone or USB drive.
Keeping people warm is the only problem to solve in Siberian winter. Humanity solved it thousands of years ago.

Antarctica is cold year around, lacks food, lacks sun light for half a year. Almost no one wants to live permanently in Antarctica.

Mars has all of the Antarctica problems, almost zero sun light, lack of air, lack of water, radiation, toxic soil, low gravity, extreme remoteness.

It may be theoretically possible for a colony on Mars to survive, but it remains to be seen if enough people would do it in practice.
The thing about O365 is the pricing, its priced about/near the price of the 'Pro' version of the desktop version (for business users). We get a lot of value out of the online services that come with it, O365 is a better value than the straight perpetual license (it comes with a lot of other products).

For Quickbooks on the other hand, I'm not sure that the SaaS offering has feature parity with the desktop version.

I find a perpetual license for Acrobat Pro 2017 to be a better value than a subscription to Acrobat DC. And Adobe makes it hard to find how to purchase the perpetual license, you have to go searching for the right link.

Yes, these are all business decisions and mostly working against me.
Why wouldn't I think that?
The main advantage I can think of is you can just configure your nightly expensive CI jobs (running absolutely all e2e tests) to run against a static branch.

Another might be that git clone gets the "correct" branch by default. Might be important if your git repo gets cloned by sales, support or whatever for external demo purposes.

Anyway I don't think it makes a huge difference in complexity - it's rarely used for developers' workflows and doesn't even need to be updated that often.
By reasonably formatted, I would actually exclude onhover. To clarify, I meant a document that would be readable without any interaction. You've got me wondering if privacy-focused browsers like Brave have the ability to disable potential tracking mechanisms like onhover.
The average life expectancy of the population would determine together with inflation and interest the maximum amount you'd be able to borrow. A rough calculation at $1,000 UBI a month would give you around $500K available to borrow at 18 and you'd pay back around 750k till you die at 82.
It's rather neat to be able to read a short diff, including a test, to see exactly what that means.

From my limited understanding: it purges cookies and localStorage, if the storage access API permission was not granted?
I didn't pursue the idea in any meaningful way. My idea was basically expert advice codified into a flow/tree, available on demand through a mobile app. E.g., my kid is behaving badly, so I can go to the app, it asks me the questions my expert would ask me, I easily relay information back to it and receive helpful suggestions (how to control my own temper, how to interpret kids behavior, etc). Bite-sized stuff that you can use in the highly urgent/desperate moments parents find themselves in from time to time.

I bet your company, if successful, would be well positioned to make that at some point in the future. There are some tricky questions there, both in terms of effectiveness and ethics, about using an AI-powered chatbot instead of an actual expert. The experts are still needed but whether we're close to approximating human expert delivery of this type of advice with technology is an interesting question! Again, best of luck and I'll check you guys out.
I despise the new Maps icon.
Hi HN,

We're excited to launch Unscreen today, a tool to remove the background of any video or GIF 100% automatically. It's based on the tech of remove.bg, but adds temporal consistency for smooth results and is super fast.

I doubt that the 17% who quit were working in jobs that they liked.

If a employer's job requires a "work or die" sword of Damocles dangling over laborers' heads to be filled, perhaps it shouldn't exist.

The New Testament Bible aphorism from 2 Thessalonians 3:10, "He who does not work, neither shall he eat," has been used by many to incentivize work, including John Smith of Jamestown colony and V.I. Lenin of the Soviet Union. It is an aphorism borne by a world of scarcity, where all available labor is not only required, but must also be allocated wisely. It isn't just "work or die", but "if you won't help, we all might die."

In a world of excess, wherein machines supply most of the labor required to produce the necessities, that becomes counterproductive. If everyone must work to eat, but no person can work as efficiently as a machine, and there isn't enough discretionary work to go around, then that game of economic musical chairs ends when someone starves because someone didn't want their hedges trimmed into topiary, or they didn't want to upgrade to the fused basalt railings on their luxury yacht. If the machine-owners can't spend the profits from their machines fast enough, people cannot afford to buy what the machines produce.
Ok fair... it's not about attention of other projects, and I shouldn't have said that.

I'm just reacting strongly to this Mars madness. That is all.

Defending this project by saying its leader is also compassionate toward other goals isn't compelling to me.

I feel like the title "Facebook sues Namecheap for registering phishing domains" is somewhat misleading.

> We found that Namecheap’s proxy service, Whoisguard, registered or used 45 domain names that impersonated Facebook and our services, such as instagrambusinesshelp.com, facebo0k-login.com and whatsappdownload.site. We sent notices to Whoisguard between October 2018 and February 2020, and despite their obligation to provide information about these infringing domain names, they declined to cooperate.

Specifically, they're suing Namecheap and their proxy service for not providing information about the true registrants of the allegedly infringing domains.
Gitlab discloses confidential information to former employees

After I left GitLab, my account was transferred over to my personal email address. I notified GitLab that I was still able to access confidential issues which were assigned to me, even though it was no longer associated with my former GitLab email address. Since they cannot figure out how to disassociate my personal account with the confidential issues, they have decided to just indefinitely block me out of my personal GitLab account until they figure out how to resolve the issue.

Healthgrades is for finding a clinical service; we are not a health service. We often use the term coach (which isn't a perfect term but the best we have right now.) We hope it is an ongoing relationship and not just used when somethings 'going wrong.' Another way we sometimes talk about it is that it's like a really good friend who happens to have an incredible background in child development. With that in mind, we don't fall under hippa as we don't discuss medical issues, although we aim to be at hippa level regardless.

Yup - Catalin has a background in ML. We're not working on any ML stuff right now - he's just an incredible technologist! The closest I can see right now is us being able to maintain a body of knowledge similar to how most doctors use Up To Date. We could then use ML to surface the information to the coach / expert so they always have the most up to date knowledge at their finger tips.

We want to be as efficient as possible so we can support as many parents as possible, and as effective as possible so we provide the best support. But we never want to replace the direct human connection, nor to use data in any way that parents wouldn't want - we know if we lose any trust we've got nothing!
and EEG is noisy as shit (SNR wise) and fMRI has a 2-second lag and MEG's ill-posed spatially and repeatability is hard and imaging only gets you a few hundred microns into the grey matter and you can't do it in humans and "single units" usually aren't and you can't do that in humans either anyway and and and ...

That the great filter is behind us. I expect primitive life to be common, and civilizations to be rare.

Or rather, the "great filter" is a series of probabilistic challenges which each instance of life either fails (regresses / stagnates) or overcomes, along with probabilistic events that jump things forward to the next "stage". If not for an asteroid long ago, dinosaurs would still rule the earth, perhaps.

It all depends on the situation. The simplest possible situation of mostly just having a master branch also can work quite well. When you have specialized testers that test a candidate release you start to need release branches. Feature branches start being necessary if changes are temoprarily incompatible with current master. This should not be too common, though. In many cases one can avoid feature branches by having feature switches that get removed as soon as a feature is done. If one wants to or needs to use feature branches they should be short-lived because one will be creating a merge hell if this is not the case. The git flow seems just too complicated for most cases. One comment already notices that it is quite unclear why a separate development and master branch are necessary.
I think the usual issue is that when a patent expires, a competing product still has to pass extensive (and expensive) safety tests before it can be sold. this is how you end up with pathological cases of price gouging on low volume generic drugs.

this might be a good place for a government agency to step in and manufacture out of patent drugs and delivery devices at a reasonable price. it would at least be interesting to see the difference between the "reasonable price" and the actual cost to produce.
I worked on a site 20 years ago that got even better revenue per request (though with fewer requests).

It did analytics on bond deals. Cost $1k/month for an account. Minimum 3 accounts. Median logins, ~1/month/account.

On the other hand people would login because they were about to trade $10-100 million of bonds. So knowing what the price should be really, really mattered.

Wall St can be a funny place.
Sure, and that's a valid question that is probably an amazing line of inquiry. Is it cost, quality, patriotism, or some other factor? Maybe an Indian tractor is for a totally different farming style or terrain?
Even me just naively unpacking the question brings up several factors that could be real problems.
If your question includes the word "just", you should automatically be suspicious of it.

The article is a comprehensive breakdown of how to use service workers with HTML content to reduce network payloads (47.6% reduction cited) and decrease first content paint times (52.3% reduction cited). Beyond just the 'why' of service workers it shows how to actually set them up for your site, the implications for dynamic and static sites, and includes a rich set of additional resources to dig deeper.

Found via tweet from @slightlylate, "Pretty sure I've pointed this out before, but the architecture that @philwalton outlines in this post is the platonic ideal for nearly every content site in 2020. If your tools don't support getting to this architecture, get new tools"

I'm not informed enough to tell you what the tuning tools do, so I'll dodge that question. But "[h]aving old kernels is just not an option for some people" is exactly the type of problem this solves. You literally don't have to know or care what kernel your node runs, because it doesn't matter! The OS is a very thin layer underneath K8s, a layer which is entirely managed by applications running as pods (supervised by an operator) on the system. Whatever apps/daemons/services you need to run move to pods on OpenShift. If you need to manage the node itself there is an API for it. If you truly need underlying access, then this is not for you, but you'd be amazed at how many people (myself included) started out balking at this and thought "no way, for compliance we need <tool>" but after re-thinking the system realized you really don't. By "complicating" the system with immutable layers, we actually simplify the system. It was much like learning functional programming to me. By "complicating" programming by taking away stuff (like global variables, side-effects, etc) it actually simplified it and reduced bugs by a huge margin.

If you are like me and are old school and think "huh, yeah that makes me nervous" I completely understand that, but we've seen some serious success with it. I'm a skeptical person, and telling me I can't SSH to my node freaks me out a bit, but I'm becoming a convert.

I would also note if you buy OpenShift you get the infrastructure nodes (masters, and some workers for running openshift operator pods) for free (typically, but I'm not a salesperson so don't hold me to that if I've misspoke :-P), so you aren't paying for the super locked in OS. I suppose you do have to pay for RHEL8 or RHCOS on the worker nodes running your pods, and we don't support other distros (because we expect a very specific selinux config, CRI-O config (container runtime), among other things), so I guess there's some dependence there, although I recommend RHCOS for all your nodes and then just use the Machine API if you need it.
How meaningful is it to run build/test against a branch that is reflective neither of a release branch nor a feature branch, though?
