> You build good systems with a combination of technical and legal measures, of course.

How is that "of course"? Not excluding one or the other a priori is one thing, but why would it be the obviously right choice to always use a combination of both?

> Ban sharing of purchase data (legal measure) and also build systems to the data is encrypted with your on-card key (technical measure).

How would that "encrypting with your on-card key" thing work?

> Of course legal restrictions don't work well without technical measures, but anything privacy-related is a social problem first and foremost, so it needs legal solutions in addition to the technical ones.

How does it follow that when you have a social problem, you need a legal solution? That seems like a complete non-sequitur to me.
Wrapping Apache Tomcat in many pointless extra layers
Anyone got a specific search term that gave poor results on ddg compared to google or vice versa?

I see zero specific examples in the comments right now. For all I know, you people are searching for “howbakecarrotsovengsgshd”. In my experience there’s no difference in quality worth talking about between any of the popular search engines.
Considering the base idea isn't that DDG's search is better, but that their privacy is better, it's kinda the opposite. The people not using DDG would have to provide clear examples. (Or just say that they don't care enough about Google's privacy issues to switch.)
Ironically Google changing how it responds to my search queries, and me finally figuring out that's why my google experience has degraded, is what actually made me switch to DDG as my primary search engine.
With an exception of "hello" I invariably got "Human being has been summoned to deal with your query" with some gif of dogs running across the room. For the "hello" it showed "konichiwa", but didn't actually pronounce it. Clicking on "How does it work" yielded yet another attempt of the site at looking up this exact phrase rather than explaining how it works. There were also layout issues with the page content - some text was overlapping the entry field or some such.

Perhaps I'm missing something obvious, but I see no point or utility in this site.
WHO Director-General's opening remarks at Covid-19 media briefing – 5 March
It's kind of interesting the lack of interest the media has in such a story. Would be interesting if there was a way to somehow float the same story except with a different country (say, Russia) alleged to have been behind the placement of the device.

Last night's Fresh Air interview with WaPo's Greg Miller about the Crypto AG case. 37 minute run time.

I noticed the same. It wasn’t fit for my use a few years ago but I think the user uptake has helped somehow, or inspired their devs. Now I feel like it’s more about not being quite used to the results. It’s just a matter of unlearning the old though, with Google’s overly strong echo chamber results.
Try "duck.com", or "ddg.gg".
I spent the first fifteen months of my current job on a 100% pair programming team before transferring to a more traditional scrum-based team.

Some observations: team cohesion on the pp team was much higher, code quality was higher. Flexibility, not surprisingly was lower: we had a very fixed schedule: "Stand up" at 8.06 (despite the name, it was unrelated to the scrum event, instead it was more time for sharing news and interesting things before the workday started), team stand up immediately following (this was closer but not quite the same as the scrum stand up), then breaking into pairs and working until noon, then an hour for lunch, then working 1-4 then an hour for individual work like training, administrative junk etc. Remote work was not typical although there were two or three remote team members who lived elsewhere and tele-paired three weeks out of four.

I'm hard of hearing so this was a somewhat draining experience for me thus my switch to my current team. Here, team members typically work remotely 1–2 days per week (largely a consequence of corporate policies which have fewer desks than employees). Each team has 2–3 offshore teams that we work with. It seems like we spend an inordinate amount of time in meetings (my calendar has 11 hours blocked off for meetings in a "normal" week and more is not uncommon). There's a tendency for information to only be passed on orally which isn't great with my hearing loss.

It's not strictly a comparison of PP vs non-PP but overall, I would return to the PP team without hesitation.
> Education is not making them that much more productive. It’s certifying them as already being more productive.

How do you measure productivity? And (asking again, since you didn’t answer) how do you measure social waste? Where is the evidence of your claims?

If what you claimed is true, then if the rate of education were to go up, then the income premium for education would go down, because you’re saying the income premium is correlation and not causation of education’s effect on society. But education rates have been going up for the last 50 years and the income premium for education is stable, despite more people being educated. Why?

> Richer countries spend more on education but the extra spending on education follows the getting rich, not the other way around

Your argument is that education is an economic drain. Where is the evidence of that? Even if true that wealth precedes education (and citation is needed there), your argument here is contradicting your earlier argument that education is socially wasteful - countries are getting richer and staying richer with increased education rates, regardless of whether it’s causation or correlation.

Ghana is an outlier with political issues not representative of most of the world, it doesn’t prove much about education. China’s massive economic growth coincides with an increase in education, framing it as being “based” on an uneducated populace because their education rate was lower at the start seems like it’s dodging the inconvenient fact that their education rates have risen while their economy has grown? Why are you so convinced that education is not even part of the cause for their economic growth, or anyone else’s?

You seem to be claiming that education teaches nothing of economic value, does not help people personally gain any skills, does not help people improve their productivity? Is that what you’re saying, and if so why?

Any streaming service is basically http+decode and can operate with a minimum buffer size of probably 16k. Even if you cache a whole song, that is only going to consume 4MB.

32MB of ram was enough to run graphical Unix back in the day.
I find myself using !g more than I'd like to, even before I even look at DDG results. I just don't seem to trust it with complex queries and go straight to google. But it has gotten better, that's true.

Side effect - I started using built-in Firefox wikipedia and Stackoverflow search way more, skipping DDG and Google altogether.

Is someone here running an Anki sync server[1]?

I would be keen to know about the experience of setting it up and maintaining it. The github project doesn't seem active, which I always find fishy for server applications.

[1] https://github.com/ankicommunity/anki-sync-server
No.

The chances your project matches the criterias to be included into any distrib repo are very low, and it's a lot of work and problems by itself.

They are not app stores you pay to get into. The gate keepers have a very strict opinion on what to let in and how. And it's all done manually, and fedora policy is not debian's is not gentoo's.

Plus, statically linked projects are almost never accepted. Back to square one.

Besides, what if it's not free software ?
Why aren't GPUs better at sparse matrix math? Generally, sparse operations are memory bandwidth limited, but GPUs/TPUs still have much faster memory than CPUs and more memory bandwidth in general (roughly a factor of 4 or so between the latest cpus and gpus).
i've been using DDG for a few years now. i generally like it a lot. however, i have decided to stop using them for image search. their filters are just not good enough.

two examples: I've searched for some kind of speedo (jammers?) and got to see a really problematic image I thought of reporting to the police. and just recently, i image searched 'martin from the simpsons', because I came across his name and forgot which character that was. near the top of the results were some really wtf images (now removed). I don't want to see that stuff - so if anyone at DDG sees this: please up your image filters.
What You Need to Do and Know About Croatia (Ultimate Travel Guide 2020)
This (https://ncov2019.live/map) started as the best, most (practically, conveniently) informative and updated "dashboard" I've found. It was posted to HN several times (where I discovered it), but underwent some curious changes over the last few days. Initially, it showed all known events and included links for additional information. Then, peculiarly, all the cases in Florida disappeared with no trace, and now the southern US seems to have been scrubbed of accounts.

It was produced mostly by a highschool student in WA.
Why is it inaccurate to state the number of confirmed cases, over reporting the number of self-quarantined? If I go to the hospital w/ flu-like symptoms and they tell me to stay at home just to be safe and it turns out I just got another disease, do I count towards the self-quarantine numbers? Does my family? If I work from home by choice to avoid exposure to public places, does it count? Does the number track compliance rates? Are we really getting accurate meaningful data from that measurement or are we feeding a bias towards alarmism?
I understand what you're suggesting but for fun I did that search on DDG and the film was the 8th result (on the first page of results ;)
PHP: a pair of worn out Crocs. HTML CSS: a pair of unmatched flip flops
Not the author, but I have experience with this. For me it takes about a week of slugishness before my body adjusts. Once I'm adapted, my performance is actually better. This goes for heavy weights, low weight/high rep weights, and cardio.
Meat also raises insulin, much less than carbs, but on a carnivore diet I can imagine this to happen.

The keto diet with ratios has been designed as a diet for epileptics, so in a ratio that maintains both body weight in a healthy range and induces ketosis and avoids ceizures (note: 1920s medicine or something). So the high fat content kind of is there to actually give you the energy so that you don't loose weight.

One aspect of the "carnivore" diet that is often overlooked, a "human carnivore in the stone age" will not have lived off of chicken breast and lean beef cuts, but easten the entire animal, i.e. the fat cuts as well that are surprisingly hard to get in a western country.

> Well, that's true if by "computable" you mean "possible to compute in practice in the physical universe" rather than "possible for a Turing machine (or the λ-calculus, etc.) to compute." But usually we use "computable" for the second class, not the first.

Yes. But usually "we" (see below for an explanation of why that word is in scare quotes) use the word "computable" in a context where quantum computers are not even in play. Quantum computers have only become a thing fairly recently relative to the amount of time that humans have been talking about computation.

This entire conversation turns on the meanings of fuzzily or implicitly defined words like "useful" and "almost" and "we". But the whole point of quantum computers, the only reason they are on the radar, is that they can potentially do something that classical computers can't do for some not-entirely-unreasonable definition of "can/can't do" and (and this is crucial) that WE MIGHT ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO BUILD ONE THAT REALIZES THIS THEORETICAL POTENTIAL. The jury is still very much out on that, but it's looking more promising than many skeptics imagined a few years ago.

You wrote:

> There are a number of formal models of "hypercomputation" that could compute things that a classical computer can't compute

Yes, that's true, but irrelevant because none of these formal models are physically realizable so no one cares about them (except theoreticians).
ad 1) would you mind sharing what kind of advice this was? I don't want to miss anything, having a baby myself right now.
> How does working out at a high intensity work when in a state of Ketosis?

I've done this. You get tired much faster, you will not be able to sprint for nearly as long, your maximum lift significantly decreases, you hit the muscle fatigue point (can't lift again unless you lower the weight) very quickly.

The usual solution among keto lifters is to have a carbload cheat day once per week _or_ to carb spike with I think (it's been a while) pure glucose syrup a measured amount just before your workout according to how much you think you'll actually use during the workout. The cheat day in practice works pretty well, because if you're slamming your body at the gym every day you can get back into ketosis very quickly after the initial induction phase is done, so you end up with a couple of days of keto per week but not the full week.
How to Find User Interface Design Jobs in 2020
To my knowledge duck duck go uses Bing's search API to get their results. To me Bing and Google have not been sufficient for my searching needs and the needs of a large group around me for a long time now.

On a separate but related issue because DDG is using Bing the overall experience is lackluster, as other user's have noted
things like very slow to re-index new results, new information climbs up to the top very slowly and often times I have to switch off their search with a ! command to get my results because they just aren't working. But if I have to do that I'd rather be on that other search site entirely.

To be fair google also for the last few years has also started providing a very lack luster search experience and using dark patterns around their results to get you to click ads.

They all kind of suck.

My opinion is biased though because I'm currently working on a new search engine to solve these things.
This is only true if you assume the unresolved cases will resolve in the same ratio as the currently-resolved cases. This ratio has been dropping as more cases are diagnosed.
There are R0 and transmission probability estimates out there. If you sniff around I think you might find the study you're asking for. As usual, media outlets are not scientific, so if you want proactive understanding (as opposed to reactive reporting) you will need to follow the literature yourself. Too bad there is no news service for that.
It's really pretty simple. If you use Facebook to login to other services, they're connected. If you're concerned about it, don't use Facebook as your ticket to all the other services out there.
Seems more like it should be more like the CNC machines at the shop I was at and the manufacturer. The price point is the same for the machines(around half a million), we were heavily encouraged to use their customer service and support, but we could work on, modify and repair our own machines as we saw fit, order parts from whoever we wanted and have any technicians we wanted work on the machines.

The machines were online and could be accessed by the manufacturer but were only accessed during customer support calls.
That's exactly it. The technology is a burden in my life, with connectivity expected 24 hours a day. Except for travel.

We are more likely to just point our motorcycles in a random direction and figure out where we're going later now that we have GPS in our pockets. It's like an absolute safety net for adventure!
You have a very stable energy supply on keto. I am on keto right now and went for a run in the morning. For lifting weights and muscle building I am not quite sure whether I can give advice, but have a look at https://www.reddit.com/r/ketogains/ and the subreddits community as this subreddit is focused on working out with keto.

In the sense that they will only put in a finite amount of effort (compatible with profitability), and take everything they can get.

What is the point, _you're_ trying to make? If you're trying to show women are financially burdened you can cherry-pick wage gap data to show that, sure, or you can take a more holistic view of society and what do you see? You see women with significantly more purchasing power than men. So are women disadvantaged or is there no incentive to be high earners? For me it's fairly obvious. There will be men and women who become high earners. There will be men and women who are overlooked based on gender. What I see with the wage gap can be fully explained by lack of necessity to earn for women. Think about that for a minute - they earn less than men, but they spend vastly more money than men. Exactly where is the incentive to earn more for women? Should they continue to work and earn more until they make up 90% of consumer spending? 95%?

It's beyond me how anyone can claim a group that represents 85% of consumer spending is somehow financially burdened and suffers from inequality. It's almost unfathomable, but here we are.
Show HN: Machinable – open-source Back end-as-a-Service
Hello everyone!

Machinable is a passion project that I've just open sourced. Built as a custom BaaS to bootstrap apps, Machinable let's you create projects, then define API resources for that project using JSON schema. Automatically generate OpenAPI documentation, create web hooks to POST back to your own servers to handle business logic, and manage user sessions. I ultimately decided to open source it to see if others would find this useful as well.

It was less possible for the parents to protect their daughter's identity, but it was eminently possible for the principal, who even went to the beach to see for himself. The photo was circulated to a large group after all.

The principle had more than enough visibility on the harrassment and hostile environment, to apply discipline without identifying any particular target of hostility, and anyway it should have been treated as unacceptable behaviour regardless of whether there was anyone in particular targeted.

There was certainly no need to identify the daughter, who was essentially a whistleblower. Now the school is being sued for failing to protect her identity, rightly in my view.

Either it appears as part of the first result or one of the top results have it. This is the case for all of your queries, and the result to select is obvious - normally wikipedia or imdb.

This is arguably harder (+1 click and page load).

However for capital of south africa this is arguably more correct. My google test shows no distinction between the capitals, whereas the wiki page does.

Of course the wiki page is accessible on google as well.

I'm wary of cases when these facts are incorrect. Google declares them while trying to hide the source. This was very important recently when a friend googled for caucus winners and recieved an incorrect fact at the top of Google, something that would have rang alarm bells when seen on its candidate affiliated source page
Comparing not using FB to complete social and sexual abstinence is quite absurd indeed; like an alcoholic who knows its bad for them but doesn't want to stop going to bars and clubs because they think that's the only way they can socialize and find sexual partners.
I was an Audible subscriber for 5+ years until they started sending ads through push notifications with no way to disable them (media controls are done through the notification system on Android so I didn't want to disable them at the OS level). I canceled my subscription and told them why.
The built-in reporting, alerting, and monitoring all wrapped up in a nice web UI is what tipped the scales for me. I didn't have to do anything to get historical system metric graphs, system health alarms, or alerts by email.

I suppose I could have set up all these things myself (it is my line of work, after all), but it was nicer to not have to.
The average user cannot be assumed or expected to be following powershell blogs or to have gone through the community discussions or to have read the RFCs and definitely not to have individually reviewed the source code, they would just download and run powershell while not being aware that this functionality even exists and be dismayed once they learn about it. In this onboarding scenario the current form does not even satisfy good faith disclosure criteria much less can be said to constitute an informed consent.

A trustworthy way to do this would have been to have the user presented with a prompt upon first interactive run explaining them the importance of the telemetry to msft with a link to relevant documentation and privacy policy and a Y/N selection, anytime the collection logic changes or a new datum is added the consent needs to be renewed, and if it turns out that under those conditions most users choose not to enable it than it will probably be the single most actionable user input msft receives from/about its telemetry practices.

You're right, but in my case it's the embedded "install" (actually a dd write to the USB flash device), which lets the system run entirely in RAM, so the boot disk is never written except when upgrading the system or when the user modifies then saves the configuration, which usually after the first install happens rarely.
This makes the NAS less versatile as I can't install lots of extensions, but the included ones are more than enough for me.
Yes, I know more RAM would help a lot; unfortunately I have no way to expand it, save for moving to bigger faster platforms which then would cost more in energy as I keep it on 24/7. The system however appears to use just about 50% of the available RAM and is very snappy for my purposes.
