So, you're saying the victim should not be compensated?
I know they/you may think otherwise, but "American" isn't a race, mate.
My rough understanding from skimming wikipedia articles is that silicon solar cells requires specially prepared wafers, not dissimilar to what you'd to make actual semiconductors devices, thing like CPUs and ram.

Preparing those silicon wafers is expensive, and perovskite avoids the need for them.
I thought the article was a pop culture reference to the Bladerunner film, specifically, the "Tears in the Rain" speech:

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die."
There is no constitutional issue in this case. This person gave their information to Google and Google was asked for the information. There is no 4th Amendment protection for information a person gives to someone else. The ACLU, EFF, and others have nothing to take further.
I can’t answer most of those questions, but here is a graph of efficiency by type and year: https://www.nrel.gov/pv/assets/images/efficiency-chart.png
Exactly, the warrant is exactly the mechanism used by our legal system to document the suspension of rights otherwise granted by the fourth amendment.

And it's why I think a lot of the ire here is misdirected. I mean, sure, the police were wrong for asking for this data, but it's easy to see why they wanted it -- it makes their job easier in an obvious way. The real problem here is the judge that granted the warrant.
It's equally unrealistic to assume that UBI will exactly affect salaries by canceling them out. You're right that there will be effects, and they're likely to be dependent on job as well.

For instance basic income may mean salaries go up for the jobs nobody wants to do as people are given an alternative, while salaries go down for jobs that are intrinsically motivating.

I can't say for certainty though. My best guess is that it's going to be better than the hodgepodge of social welfare (and its complex effects) we have today.
What a heartless outlook. It's one thing for something bad to happen, it's another for the government to randomly blow up your house and peace out. I honestly have a very hard time believing you would have this attitude about your own things if you ever get thrown under a bus.
At the end of the day it depends on what your risk appetite is.

We've been on quite the bull run so in that regard I would say no, but given rates are super low and mortgage debt is cheap to come by (barely covers inflation), I honestly don't see why you wouldn't investigate it more. If you can make more than the mortgage interest rate, then it was worth it.

Using debt is fine is you can stomach a potential drop in a liquid market. That is more psychological than financial, actually. Would you panic sell if your (leveraged) investment drops 30 or 50%? I've come to realise I wouldn't hence I would consider making that investment, but to each their own.

This is less risky than using pure margin debt on your investments, because this can't be automatically liquidated.
Firecracker is great We use it to run fleets of fast booting vms at https://fly.io.

It’s really the best OSS to come out of Amazon.
The best thing about Brave is that all of the ad / tracker blocking is built into the browser itself - it's noticeably faster than any extension. The blog posts about the implementation make an interesting read:

Not really. The phone companies have relevant data too for this kind of search. What's notable here isn't that Google was a single source for this data, but that they notified the user when it happened, even if it means everyone on HN now thinks they're the bad guys in the situation.
NREL maintain the chart to look at when it comes to efficiencies for various processes. Perovskite cells are relatively new, not hugely efficient, but pretty cheap.

The same thought crossed my mind. I want to know how to survive the big rip.

I find it interesting your word choice suggests that the price war is undesirable compared to a destabilizing monopoly.
I recently did a round of interviews at different companies, most of them small-ish (<100 people). I'm a "pure developer" without any real experience in AWS/Docker/Kubernetes. Even for just plain "Software Engineer" roles, this was consistently a negative mark for me as a candidate. Not an automatic deal breaker, but I think it made the difference in a couple of cases.
You can buy ~30%, and labs have demonstrated ~40%.

This could make multi-junction cells cheaper if they have solved some of the durability issues with perovskite.
Any good brokerage allows for trading bonds. Interactive Brokers does.

The bond market is far larger than the stock market. If you wanna know "what's going on" better become familiar with at least the basics of it (interest rates, how they relate to bond prices, spreads for risky credit, floating rate vs fixed rate, inflation protected securities, carry trades).

And it's not true that most bonds are held via ETFs (except by retail). There's a lot of trading going on at the institutional levels.
Signal depends on play services on android. I keep reading here that signal is secure and we should all switch to that, but I just can't get over the fact that it works only if you effectively give root to google on your phone. I can not take Signal seriously when it tells me it is secure, but has that requirement.
Staying culturally relevant is an overrated farce.
It stands to reason kids can be carriers, but I have not seen any reports of child transmission data for covid-19. In this situation with such a crazy high R0 (transmissability) the lack of knowledge calls for erring on the side of caution.
> a lot of people wondering why these people were wearing second hand plaid shirts.

When grunge spread outside of Seattle, yes. I was in New Orleans in the 90s when grunge got big and seeing people in 90°F wearing flannel was definitely odd. But in Seattle, plaid flannel has always been a thing and continues to be for entirely logical reasons: it's fucking cold and flannel is cozy and warm.

You're absolutely right that at any point in time there has never been a single monolithic popular culture. Even the 60s had Burt Bacharach, Bob Dylan, the Beach Boys, and Otis Redding. It does feel to me that the transition to streaming means the genres have splintered into finer and finer subdivisions with people less and less aware of what's outside of their own personal recommendation bubble.

If you listened to new wave exclusively in the 80s, you still knew about hair metal. You'd hear snatches of it as you scanned the radio. But, today, I literally have no idea what other people are listening to and I'm fairly certain no one around me knows about all the weird niche stuff I listen to all day.
Intel has been an absolute security shit-show for over 3 years now.

FWIW: I got my second Master's degree at age 56, got Udacity MOOC nano-degree at 58, and am now developing deep learning apps. Keep on carrying on!
For a moment I thought this was the guy I was thinking of, and was shocked I never heard he couldn’t use them. But the guy I’m thinking of had a drunken encounter with fireworks, not sepsis. I recall being mad that the first recipient was just some random fool instead of a wounded hero. But a fool is probably easier to talk into a crazily experimental procedure...
Santa Clara county hasn’t closed schools yet, but are preparing for remote-learning should closures happen. If you’re a parent in Silicon Valley, then you’re probably aware from the district emails. From what I’ve parsed, it sounds like they’re going to make a decision based on recommendations of the County health board (though I’d think the school has autonomy on making the decision on their own if they chose to, but I don’t know).
If it’s totally gross and nonsensical, like blowing up a house to catch a guy armed with a bullwhip, sure. But somebody firing his gun at people after getting chased for shoplifting? That’s a cold-blooded killer with bad aim. You don’t just sit around and hope he listens to the voice of reason. Or maybe you do. We’ve got lots of Monday morning quarterbacks here.
I am actually surprised by the absence of AMD support for a project born at AWS.
AWS has been offering AMD Epyc ec2 instances for quite awhile[0].

Missing arm support is also suprising but less so, as arm market penetration is obviously lower than x64

All it would take is a curious engineer an Google to assemble location data on politicians and the 'associates' they appear to be exercising with privately to help move the regulatory needle here.
If anything, depending on the market the risk is that the house actually goes down in value.
Speaking of subtle differences, what's your take on "A-OK"? That's Yelp's label for 3 Stars.

I also think that it's different for restaurants than for drivers. When looking for restaurants whether in my home city or traveling, of course we look at 4 stars or above. But never have I once looked a driver's rating, I just call a car and take the first one that is assigned to me, cancelling only for reasons not related to ratings at all. Maybe it's just me that does that?

> Today the average rating on Yelp sits in between “A-OK.” (3) and “Yay! I’m a fan.” (4).

If companies want to collect and amass surveillance data for profit, they should be the ones providing compensation for abuses their data hording enables.

...so you are part of this project, right?

That's not a big deal, of course. Usually quite the opposite. But usually people here don't try to deflect the question either, so..

It sounds a bit bitter as well. I'd love to see those projects ending up competing in a productive way!
"I can’t really imagine a world in which the annualized yield of SPY over 10 years is less than 2.7%."

Seems your imagination is lacking. From 2000 to 2010 it was negative. I wonder if the current market is the only market you ever have seen. Housing prices also have collapsed not too long ago in the past.
You're making so many assumptions here that I don't even know where to start. But let me pick one: Say the bike rider was a person of color (plenty of those to go around), and the investigator was a racist cop (also plenty of those to go around). Do you think the stakes would have been the same?

Reality is a lot more complex than your world perspective.
Basically every city in Poland has such company in 00s. Now we have around 450-500 ISPs in whole country. Most of them started their journey in garage :). Nowaydays most of them are doing FTTH/GPON constantly evolving - giving better services than big-country-wide companies like Orange. For example, I live in Bielsko Biala (southern Poland) and I pay around $25 monthly for 600/600Mbps with static external ipv4.
Doubtful, Carpenter was based on the fact that the cell tower location was not a willing transfer of international, but merely a functioning of the cellular technology and so the information was still protected under the 4th amendment requirement for a warrant. In this case, suspect ‘willingly’ transferred that information to Google and there was a warrant request for the information. Although, I suspect that the warrant was more to make it easier to get Google’s compliance than to deal with 4th amendment concerns.
same! i was thinking about tiktok the whole time.

i suppose i should, but i... just don't get it. too fast, too furious. you only get a second or two for a breather between videos that are too short. you are constantly bombarded with new ones.

it's like playing a rhythm video game. it's build for fast reaction. no deep analysis or thinking. but it obviously seems to work for many people.

i have to say, i still don't have an account. maybe things are different and you get more choices when you actually sign up.

Three ways to get more business for your local business
Three things you should do to get more business for your local business!

1. Make sure you have a location in your domain name! If you don't have one, there's a good chance that you won't rank on Google! If you don't rank on Google, in the first three positions, you won't get any views on your website!

2. Make certain you have Google my Business set up for local keywords that have a decent amount of traffic. Google places your site on the first page of Google automatically,. . So you want to choose a search with plenty of traffic!
I can help you find keywords with lots of traffic, if you want me too.

3.Google came out recently with a new update. It was about local business images.Basically, they don't want any more the typical signs outside the store!
They ask for inside the business photos that show what's happening. I suggest photos, for restaurants, of children eating, such as a child smiling while eating a slice of pizza! Put the inside images on the top of your homepage, when Google crawls your site, if you have your "inside" images in the right spot, Google will serve you a ton of traffic, because you are giving it what they want!

Not all modern visionaries look to the past. But in vain: in the past, you can draw a lot of interesting solutions.

I think that this is a great opportunity to create a vintage series of cars.

What do you think of it?

I mean, what do you expect happens after airlines die from a price war? It’s not lower prices.
Why would heart have anything to do with it? The basis of my statement is morality, not empathy.
True but usually it’s difficult to actually achieve that speed on the bus. Isn’t the NIC a bottleneck? Usually they aren’t capable of wirespeed due to shallow buffers.
Tiny Clojure wrapper around curl
Yes it’s a little harder but it’s SO MUCH BETTER than being unhealthy/ unfit. I’m not necessarily a natural athlete but I’ve almost always stayed in shape... until a few years ago. I was running long distance trail runs and I injured my leg. I had to cancel a few races and I slipped into a bit of a depression.

It took me a few years to get the courage and gumption up to get active again. Now that I’m older, it’s been much harder to get back in shape. And my recoveries (post- run or post-weights) take longer. But on the whole I feel so much better, all the time. My mood and my close relationships have all improved. And my work performance has improved too.

The mild discomfort has been well worth the pay off.
Bond values in most countries have risen so phenomenally over the past few decades that they almost kept up with stock returns. It is unprecedented in history. Your situation is not typical.
AMD processors work fine with Firecracker, support is relatively recent though so they’re being conservative about calling it production ready.
Anyone from Hashicorp -- y'all are gonna end me. Please put the best way to do things into your own docs. You have https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/aws/d/iam_policy_doc... and can do

Maturity and type-A self direction are the keys.

Our district has some full-online charter schools. I have a miraculously self motivated family member who pulled off full time home self study her last 2 years of high school at one of these: she got up early and finished most of her homework before lunch.

So it's definitely not for everyone, not even for most adults. I think many people need to learn as a group. But some children can thrive with self directed study.
Everything about the case is nuts but, to me, one of the worst thing is this line "They agreed to dip into their savings to pay for a lawyer.".

No money, no justice.
Further, it acts as a multiplier. Which is why I believe rail travel should be nationalised—very few people take a train for the sake of being on a train, people take trains to work or to spend money somewhere else. It makes no economic sense to insert competition into a natural monopoly whose main purpose is to multiply people’s productivity. Everyone loses out.
I agree with all you said.

I think US government is potentially the source for systemic risk that is realized within year or two.

Regulation and oversight is cut dramatically, SEC has been castrated, white-collar crime investigations are cut in DOJ. In addition the administration does everything it can to keep markets going up until the elections.

The change that large scale financial frauds and systemic risks can grow without being checked.
Ask HN: Why is Italy hit so hard with the Covid-19 virus?
Why is it Italy that is hit hardest right after China?
> Yeah it is worth money. Similar to how heroin is worth money.

I'm not sure how you integrate a distributed heroin based system into a browser.
Google tracked his bike passed a burglarized home, that made him a suspect
There is a shedload of good music out there, but the distribution mechanism has changed. If you actively look on Spotify, you'll start to find things. That is unless it's a simple case of the music in [decade I was 13-23] was the best!
> then regularly practice overseas deployments to seriously scare shit out of the Arabs and get better oil deals for everyone, doesn't it save money in the end?

No. Pulling tax money out of everyone's wallets to make gas at the pump cheaper doesn't save everyone money.
From Santa Clara county's official statement:

Define "came back from the collapse of the Roman Empire".

We only have a few thousand years of recorded human history as a benchmark, but the "Dark Ages" weren't as dark as people think they were. They simply lacked large central authorities with state-sponsored violence used to maintain control.

I would put forward that the biggest hurdle most humans have to get over, and this goes really for most modern societies, is putting preservation before perseverance.

I don't intend to come off as a nihilist, but I suppose there are also very few new thoughts under the sun. The status quo is an illusion in our minds, and to even begin to place any one part of human history in an objective rank of better or worse misses the trajectory of life as we understand it. Evolution does not promise better, it promises continued existence.

Climate change is a human problem, not an Earth problem. Civilization collapse is a me and you problem, not a human problem. To the extent that we put the burden of preservation on ourselves we risk missing the point of perseverance that all life around us demonstrates every day. The unique gift humans give to that equation, which no one can yet explain why we have this gift, is to bring both logic and compassion to our continued existence. Let's remember to keep logic and compassion in balance and live our lives as though we were not going to live forever.
Why is that absolutely incredible?
It's going to work differently in each school district. Some will have capabilities to do online learning like yours, and some won't.
Yeah... We had two world wars.
Massive amounts of new money is pouring into the system. Step one is save the market, step two is brace for inflation.

Wanting privacy on your daily bikeride is a $2000 choice? Wanting to prevent police overreach into your daily life is a $2000 choice? No, not at all. Quit blaming the victim.
> I'm not giving investment advice, but I think the current market panic is short term and non-systemic

I agree. I just don't personally understand why FOMC is cutting rates.
Off label use is allowed. Marketing for off label use is absolutely not allowed. Claims of off label efficacy are not remotely allowed. And the FDA has post approval powers to revoke approval for drugs not found effective. Doctor's autonomy leads to off label being allowed, and some of the legal arguments for it involve freedom of speech, not medical optimality.

Phase 3s already are no longer required, it looks like the article you linked was written in 2003? That was literally almost 17 years ago when we'd just barely sequenced the first human genome. There are entire fields of medicine - precision medicine - that literally address the whole subgroup question. Companion diagnostics are routine, rare disease approvals are up, plenty of Huntington trials in progress - that article might as well be about an alien civilization with how different things are today. Value based pricing, redefining cancer into separate genetically defined baubgroups and developing drugs for each, Gene therapy, ... It's no longer easier to get approval of a drug that's marginally successful in a large population, smaller populations with large effects make it way easier to see responses. And the 21st century cures act in 2016 evolved the regulatory landscape even more - it's like comparing Sputnik with the ISS. Yeah, they're both sattelites, but the field has come a long way in the time between the two.
It’s been interesting to watch the varied responses. In Seattle (Seattle Public SD) the school districts have adamantly refused to close.

For better or worse this will end up being a wild A/B test (between Northshore and Seattle) with extremely long term implications.

So far the explanations have mostly centered around these three points:

* Many students’ parents are health care providers or work in the health care industry on the front lines of the COVID-19 response. If schools close, fewer people will be able to provide front-line support.

* Many families rely on the schools and staff for basic needs, including regular meals, health care, and child care.

* Seattle can’t provide online learning because Seattle serves a diverse community with varied access to technology ... including those who do not have access to technology or internet at home.

Google has finally killed TinyTask
Objectively, America is a young culture - often considered adolescent, as compared to European cultures that have existed for many centuries.

This youthful exuberance has its benefits but it also has more than its share of idealism, naïveté and general lack of big picture considerations.

The survivalist movement is a great example of this.
