Looking forward to hearing from you! ^^
In one of the later gifs it looks to me like the snake aims higher in the air than would be expected if it was going for the rat just on the ground. I wonder if that's a learned behavior after multiple interactions, like darn you little rat, I'll aim higher next time. I wonder if there's a push and pull in that regard too. Fascinating overall though in any case.
Stromatolites are specifically fossilized bacterial colonies. Nothing GP said was about stromatolites, just "rocks".

People should definitely go look up stromatolites, though. They're cool.
Roth funds are the opposite of progressive. It’s possible to accumulate millions in roth funds where the eventual net effective tax rate is close to 0%. We already put income caps on roth funds for this reason but it’s just too easy to game.

More important than that is just normalizing taxes to something people pay when they realize income instead of this convoluted system we have now.
Don't waste my time with this stuff.

- single study
- on mice
- hasn't been replicated
- purely speculative mechanism of action (How exactly is Vitamin C helping? They don't know!)

I guess I have to remind everyone that most published research is false: https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/jo...
The "luxury goods" have all been taxed already via sales/VAT and corporate income taxes.

Real estate is taxed via real estate taxes.

Additionally taxing financial instruments is simply stupid: the capital gains taxes already tax them.

I strongly suspect that Piketty is as ignorant of basics of tax law as he's totally ignorant of basic economics.
Maybe upgrade the optical sorter?
Because I know the .NET framework and its tooling very good, I still have to delve into .NET core.
Cool to see the original author. I did notice a few of the examples didn't really have the pizza effect, as you said it's about the reputation changing after returning. Pizza and the Apu trilogy seem like the purest examples.
I think the numbers can't be looked at that way for a variety of reasons, primarily the fact that we are rapidly expanding testing capability in the US right now, so we will see a rapid increase in the number of diagnosed cases. However that does not mean there is the same rapid increase in the number of cases so quickly. Basically we are going to be catching up with cases from the past 2-4 weeks in the coming week.
Try the semantic map of https://swisscows.ch/
While usually DDG is sufficient for my uses i'm noticing falling back more and more often to the swiss cows. This map thing really helps to separate that which is of interest to you, from unrelated things. Be it the same abbreviations used across different fields, names of persons or corporations across history, ...

I'd be very happy if DDG had that, since i'm so used to it.
But it doesn't.

I think https://www.qwant.com/ had something very simialar many years ago, but now it's gone, or i'm mistaking it for some other prototype/beta which had that.
> There is also an unreasonable dependency on CloudFlare kool-aid for HIBP and his other services.

How it is unreasonable? Do you criticize the hosting platform / cdn of every service you use?

CF has been a huge help to Troy with optimizing caching and helping him with the k-anonymity setup to make the scale of HIBP possible with less infrastructure. Their network is top notch (sub 10ms for most population centers) and they are trying to give back to the broader community by donating the bandwidth and cache to greater good projects like this.
Oh, hi. I recently learned this about a few months ago. I contributed the Mexico City Day of the Dead parade as an example. I think that applies.

When I was a chilango kid in the 1980s, Day of the Dead was seen as a rather mediocre and secondary holiday to Halloween. Day of the Dead was much more Catholic and sombre and more similar to All Saints' Day in Europe (several European countries have a similar tradition to decorate graves on All Saints' Day). Now that foreigners think Day of the Dead is cool, we do too!
Due to the long incubation period, infected people can be infectious even while not presenting symptoms or relatively asymptomatic.

"Patients often presented without fever, and many did not have abnormal radiologic findings. ... Fever was present in 43.8% of the patients on admission but developed in 88.7% during hospitalization."
I think I used to use "env LC_ALL=C". I like to set "all" the things and I'm also fond of the useless use of env...

This does run faster, but it's also important if you want a predictable order and to distinguish all strings like you would get if you implemented your own text sort naively.

From Googling just now:
"sort -u doesn't report unique lines, but one of each group of lines that have equal sorting order. So if you do want unique lines, you need a locale where characters are byte and all characters have different sorting order (which the C locale guarantees)."
HN will never admit to Google being great at anything. Keep coming up with "plausible" theories.
Why does Apple raise debt when they have the largest cash reserve? Company issuing stock or raising debt doesnt mean the product has failed. Cutting spending and reducing staff is a better indicator.
Yep! Mexican here, I added that example! And I think it's really cool! Day of the Dead has an interesting, very modern history. The celebration keeps evolving, traditions being born before our very eyes.

I'm pretty sure the coolness of skull face-painting in DotD is also a recent foreign influence, but I can't find a clear source for it. I just remember the first time I saw it was in 2008 during a Halloween party and I thought, wow, that's like the sugar skulls from Day of the Dead, cool! I didn't recognise it as a tradition but as something new.
New York City doctor has to 'plead to test people' for Coronavirus
I believe in this case he's talking about MTLS:

> OASA also protects these hops by issuing client certificates with 10-minute expirations after first verifying your identity through our single sign-on provider, and then also verifying you are on a pre-enrolled (and approved) trusted company device.
They get Waymo RSUs.
> art, antiques, exotic vehicles,

That's what insurance company are (perhaps) for: what are they covered for? That's what you tax them at.
This is such a click-baity article.

Headline quotes "uncharted territory" to be scary.

Subhead points out this is part of a quite from a doctor.

Read in to the text, and the doctor is saying we're in uncharted territory, but really the stigma of the virus remains much worse than the actual disease.
I believe this applies to all cats. If a bite or scratch fully penetrates skin, you're very likely going to get an infection.
How ‘Low-Code’ Can Take over Robotic Process Automation
> Instead of confronting racial and socioeconomic biases in our hiring process, we've decided to deflect blame to a consulting firm who will in turn blame it on a mysterious 'cultural fit' algorithm

Culture encompasses a range of human behavior. Much of that, though it may not be tasteful to say, is tied to workplace performance. Pressure and desire to achieve, collective/individualist tendency, ethics and morals, conformity and deference to authority; if one is willing to acknowledge that cultures exist and vary, then one cannot deny that there will be strong correlations between culture and fit for particular roles. And as it happens culture correlates with nationality, race, and socioeconomic status - because parents and communities generally pass culture on to children.

At some point in the near future neural nets trained to predict human performance will undoubtedly condition on priors like nationality, race, and socioeconomic status, even indirectly if they are not explicit data points. What then? Will we continue to bend over backwards to deny reality in favor of a false Utopia? What happens when these trends suggest different interventions for medical conditions? Different learning environments? Different reactions to authority and punishment?

Edit: I don't understand the downvotes. Why use data analysis tools if you're just going to ignore the results you don't like? How do you expect to solve problems like inequality if you aren't willing to explore their actual causes? Is there something illogical or factually incorrect in my comment?
Heh, I didn't realize they sold those. I got some a couple years ago as a freebie, not sure it was worth the amount of sophos marketing crap I got for the next year or so after I gave them my contact info.
I went through training on it back in 2012 - apparently it (at least at the time, not sure about now) was dominant in the australian mining industry, so the larger tertiary education providers were requested to at least familiarise students with it.

It was a strange beast but there were a few odd spots it was better than active directory - e.g. an "Organizational Role" could be created and have a user assigned to it, so you could more easily seperate the user (john smith) from their position and the permissions that go with it (finance director). So when john smith retires it is trivial to replace the occupant of the finance director organisational role.
I pay ~$10 for membership on a niche dating website (for a community that is not served well by the likes of Tinder / Match.com / etc.). The emphasis is on meeting IRL, and the biggest problem they solve is to offer a large and dense (geographically speaking) network of like-minded real people who are ready to meet. Paid subscription is not the only trick they use to weed out fakes, but it goes a long way. Money is pretty much the only constraint that keeps the site from being flooded by bots and spams.

I wish somebody would make a crypto wallet/gateway combo that worked with this.

That combined with a auto “spend and replace” would actually make using crypto as simple and easy as say, Apple Pay.

And merchants could accept it without a payment processor, and pay no fees, have no risk of chargebacks, maybe pass some savings back to the customer, etc..
It goes the other way too. Steve Jobs would still be alive if he didn't eschew his doctor's advice and dip into alternative medicine that he truly believed was the correct solution, and he is not a dumb man.

I want this, but with a twist.

1) I want the websites to do certificate verification on the certs I'm using on my desktop.

2) Then on top of that my website should use usb security key verification as well.

Easy enough to do #2, but I want #1 to be ubiquitous as well.

... So basically my HTTPS server will use my public key as my identity, not my username/email and password.
Both are problems. For many of those who went the academic route in science, there is very little knowledge of what kind of jobs are actually available in the private sector. Matching those skills to private sector employers will help both those contemplating leaving the academic sphere. For those determined to remain in the academic sphere, it could lessen the intense competition for positions.

My professional background is ~5 years of backend and mobile development. My academic background culminates with a Masters degree in pure mathematics (algebraic geometry). My personal tinkering lies mostly in managing Linux desktops and servers (~20 years), e.g. I run my own email server, including various others.

Character-wise, you might label me as an Organizer of All Things. This means that I tenaciously attack intractible problems with zeal. It means that anything I produce tends to be neat and tidy. It also means that I do not do well in "just hack it together" environments. I very much enjoy teams that value quality in production and quality in communication.

If this sounds like someone you and your team could use, then I can promise that I will not disappoint.

Every new programming style epiphany is an ad hoc, intuitively-specified, hazy restatement of the Unix Way.
I'v been working from home for the past decade. I think I've done my part.
I took a look at your project and I have a question.

I see that you have support for driving 16 outputs with 250 ns accuracy.

Are you using a single timer+compare unit to do this?

I struggled with this a little when I tried to do a similar project myself, but I think I came up with an algorithm that allows me to do it with one timer and one compare match register. The reason it was a little difficult was because the timers usually only have one or two compare match registers, so you can only ever have one event pending at a time. This problem would be trivial if the timer had 16/32 compare match registers.

So, you have to maintain a list of upcoming events and always be sure that the next one to occur has its value loaded in the register. There are a lot of races to watch out for (like if the time for the next event already passed before being able to load its value into the register). This requires a bunch of write-read check cycles and makes me feel uneasy.

How did you handle this?
I don’t think I’m asking for much here. If I have access to it on Facebook on my profile, in my message box, or somehow associated with my profile, it should be a part of my takeout is all I’m saying. How is this controversial?

> People like to say, all phones have this issue, but where are the examples?

Are there any other phones out there that are supported with software updates as long as the iPhone?
If there is an Android phone that's been used for 3+ years, it will be ba good data point.

Afaik, Android phone OEMs don't try to make a device last as long.
> don't buy devices utilizing them.

That's the absolute least effective way of discouraging the practice. It's the strategy companies want you to take, but it influences companies the least. Collective action by consumers is a much better way of effecting change, including politically or legally, as they did here.

It definitely is anti-competitive to have none-removable batteries: it stops your old product from competing with your new product.

Finally, as a matter of fact, the battery in my mid 2015 iPod nano is literally soldered together, like you say, and that has stopped me from putting in a new one, like I did myself with an iPhone 3G.
Well, the market's been active for a while now, feel free to park your money in underpriced ipv4 if you want.
Thank you for saying this. The overwhelming majority of comments on this thread are pedestrian - as if FBs engineers have been making decisions out of naivety, incompetence or self interest.
I'm happy to pay more taxes so people poorer than me can have healthcare. But stuff like this strikes me as monumentally silly:

> They include a schedule of taxation on income and wealth that reaches ninety per cent and the elimination of nation-states in favor of “a vast transnational democracy,” which will secure “a universal right to education and a capital endowment, free circulation of people, and de facto virtual abolition of borders.”

I think arguments like these can serve a useful function. Based on their appeal, maybe we'll move in the right direction. But the arguments themselves? A "transnational socialistic union" is a bizarre dream. And dreams can be dangerous when people take them too seriously.
> You’d have to wonder how any explanation that wasn’t obviously made up by a race that lived on the Earth and understood nothing about the wider universe could get the facts so wrong.

You'd have to wonder how a scientific understanding could possibly be reflected in a poem that makes heavy use of reflective structures.

It's a poem, of a particular kind. The people it was written for would not have taken it literally. IIRC the Talmud doesn't say that it is obviously something literal. That's a more modern trend of Christianity, and even there, many sects don't.

There's problems with taking it literally. That it isn't scientifically accurate is the least of those.

It seems like a fair request, that you should be able to do what you want, but that isn't what you are asking of the doctor in this situation. You are asking them to do something outside the bounds of their profession to do what you want.

An extreme example would be if a suicidal patient asked their therapist to put a bullet in their head rather than give them an antidepressant, should the patient be free to ask for this and should the therapist be obligated to fulfill this request? It's a question of what is ethical and that goes beyond your own agency. You are free to put a bullet in your own head, or find your own source of vitamin C, but you can't put that ethical dilemma on the doctor and expect a result.
Not only does re-use take large amounts of water in the cleaning of containers, but glass is orders or magnitude more expensive to ship product in. You're shipping a ton of glass around when you could be using that weight to ship product. It drives up cost and increases fuel burn.

It is not that simple. Unfortunately.
Humans are the weirdest omnivore. The only reason we can eat meat is because 1-2 hundred million years of our homoerectus ancestors predigesting meat by cooking it.

At our evolutionary roots we are a tech bubble, but that tech, cooking, was discovered by a species that we would put in a zoo if it was still around.
Yes, some preparations even rely on cheese separating. E.g. parmesan tuiles, even when prepared with PDO Parmigiano-Reggiano or Grana Padano can be seen breaking and expelling their fat before crisping. Every preparation of onion soup I've seen, even when using proper Gruyere or Comte, has an oil slick on top that has been expelled from the cheese. The cheeses used in saganaki (which I've never seen battered, only fried directly) weep oil before they melt.

Processed cheeses, on the other hand, will typically burn before they break. And they flow very differently when melted.
Basically. Since we are focusing on SSH in this post (and keep in mind that SSH is its own protocol, separate from TLS), it's conceptually the same: client has a certificate and a key, signed by a trusted certificate authority, and the client is also in possession of the server certificate authority. So then you have a bi-directional trust established. The certificates are short-lived, and issued after a successful authentication + dial request to the OASA service.
