> I, as a photographer, find my P30 Pro good enough for family, friends and vacation shots and all other casual snapshots.

P30 Pro has a Sony camera chip, like almost all other "superphones"

Sony was making more money on smartphone chips than on the regular camera sensors.

Now, Eliot Management probably made them to shoot themselves in the foot:

1. The consumer product unit will now not be able to finance the RnD to push the tech forward. Imagine Sony cameras with Chinese CCDs.

2. On the opposite, without strong incentive to do loss making RnD, the IC unit will become just another commodity component maker

3. Asian companies tend to not to survive "financial engineering" style manoeuvres you see in America

Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin as a treatment of Covid-19
Not NSAPI, CGI.
NHS hospitals have a completely different set of incentives than German hospitals that exist at a boundary between market capitalism and something entirely different. Terminal ICU patients are the health care equivalent of a billable hours fountain.

It's definitely not a deliberate "for a case like this" precaution but an emergent outcome of the specifics of how hospital funding is done and had been decried as a problem to be solved by should of the usual suspects.
The US last got data in 2010 I believe. I believe this is the paper many people site today:

https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/disaster-medicine-an...

> The median number of full-feature mechanical ventilators
per 100,000 population for individual states is 19.7 (interquartile ratio 17.2–23.1), ranging from 11.9 to 77.6

Edit: WSJ opinion linked to a NIH study from 2012.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/americas-intensive-care-dividen...

> A 2012 review [1] in the journal Current Opinion in Critical Care found that the U.S. has 20 to 31.7 ICU beds per 100,000 people compared to 13.5 in Canada, 7.9 in Japan and between 3.5 and 7.4 in the U.K. Differences in how countries define “ICU” account for some of the disparity, the article notes, and the U.S. needs more ICU beds because it has a higher incidence of chronic conditions like heart disease.

Well, this is at best a rumor, not sure why it was posted here.

At https://community.snowdrift.coop we put a lot of thought into reactions[1], specifically about how they promote healthy interaction. There are a few in particular I'd like to highlight:

# "Changed my mind" (icon: graduation cap)

In most communities, this is a overload of the upvote. But it's a particularly good kind of upvote, the complement of the usual echo-chamber "upvoting because I already agree". The icon+phrasing combo reframes "I lost the debate" into a positive thing, more like "I was educated". It's my far my favorite reaction to receive -- lots of warm fuzzies. In order to avoid confusion/misuse, we did not make this the primary upvote (that's thumbs up, with the verb "appreciate").

# Sympathies (icon: blue ribbon)

It's a bit tasteless to "like" or "heart" sad news (eg, someone passed away). At the same time, a downvote isn't appropriate, either. This fills the role of "support for the person posting, not the topic they're posting about".

For starters, professionals in the photography business. They're also moving to mirrorless because lugging around SLRs and lenses is intrinsically heavier due to the engineering limitations.
I think at core it is their fault for letting users pick a single software 2FA method without a second device, its a poor design choice.

Asking users to print backup codes shouldn't count, it needs to be a second device. It is a bad fallback method especially because you can't force users to do it, but you still have to deal with the fallout later. While we are at it, if you're printing codes, you might as well print your passwords too.

This is why hardware tokes are a world better than software based...multiple hardware keys are required, you can't choose to not back it up, although what you do with that second key is critical too but its easier to track than a slip of paper.

I'm confused as to what you're saying. Is Banham not just an English name? English people named after Banham (in Norfolk, where Reyner's hometown, Norwich, is) have existed for at least 400 years it seems.

Behnam I think I could spell from hearing, and pronounce, but a lot of people struggle with names in general. English phonology has so much to offer, that a lot of names can be written relatively faithfully in it; it's certainly a lot easier than trying to write western names in Japanese, or Mandarin (it's really not pronounced 亞倫, guys).

Yes...but.

Is the ISOCELL any good?

It very much seems to be mostly numbers but it really can't back up the claims in actual visual image quality. The noise and required light to get anything near good shots is very high, the DOF on such a large sensor is downright tight, which is nice for making pretty looking shots..but really bad for just someone trying to capture a photo. Even on the S20 Ultra taking a photo of a person from 5 feet away results in the nose and eyes being in completely different focus.

The fact of the matter is that in normal use, a medium format mobile sensor with a moderate pixel count is preferrable. (I.E. iPhone 11 Pro, Pixel 4) as for 95% of shots you want a wide DOF to put all of the content in focus and great per-pixel aperture to reduce exposure time and ISO so you can reduce camera shake and Noise. Even in the shots you want DOF (Portrait), faking it tends to lead to a more adjustable shot where you can correct after the fact instead of being actually stuck in a inch-wide focus gap where any movement of the camera or subject results in out of focus capture.

Plus most photos are posted online in the 1-2MP size. Now cropping is a great extra 5% item, but for those who want really great photos they would have a lot to gain from a much larger sensor with a larger lens and lower MP count to get way less noise and better exposure times (I.e. The Sony A7R IV) Whereas dedicated full-frame equipment just trashes mobile results.

Another problem is these analytics platforms just keep getting worse. There used to be a lot of effort put in to not collecting any personally identifiable info. Hell even google analytics was strict about that. It also took time to integrate them.

Now almost all the packages grab identifiable info by default and some are doing things like making screen recordings. Combine that with a rotating set of product owners like described above and a lot of apps just end up making way too many calls to way too many places.

And I do think Apple could and should be doing something more here. Their developer analytics setup is a good example to lead by as it gives users a global option to opt out. They also are able to reject apps for an icon being offbrand so I’m pretty sure they could figure out something here.
Well, you’d have to give billions of lives.
Oh, yeah. I just noticed that. I guess that's an issue with Firefox's parsing of print CSS. Really unfortunate for them to not adhere to so many print CSS rules, considering Mozilla is pretty good when it comes to adopting new web technologies.

Sadly, I can't suggest any fix except using Safari or Chrome for now. I will look into what can be done to fix the issues regarding Firefox soon. Thank you for bringing this to my attention :)

Many contributors to this thread justifiably recommend this book, which is an excellent introduction to finance:

Graham, Benjamin and Jason Zweig (2006) The Intelligent Investor, revised ed.

I would also suggest the following books, which offer more in-depth analysis of financial markets and securities:

Henwood, Doug (1997) Wall Street: How It Works and for Whom

Lynch, Peter and John Rothchild (2000) One Up on Wall Street, 2nd ed.

Mishkin, Frederic (2018) Economics of Money, Banking and Financial Markets, 12th ed.
How about if the offer was $1000 plus $10 per Mb/s and the maximum is 10Mbps ?

You would switch because you've imagined this service is magically cheaper and better, but now I say it'll be expensive and worse are you still enthusiastic?

Providing network service is a utility, and so yes razor thin margins are typical and that's too bad. It does make very high capital investment (such as launching huge numbers of satellites every few years) difficult to stomach though.

These projects (whatever Musk says about them when hyping his company) deliver expensive network access to places where it's otherwise not practical to offer service at all. They aren't going head-to-head with Comcast, or even with AOL, they're competing with "Physically take a day's / week's work to the A site where they have network access".
Is there a way for the end user to differentiate between that and a custom controller?

Ask HN: Feedback on my online store builder collecting payments in ETH
As the title says, I built a little editor that allows you to easily create a personal/project page, sell products and and collect payments in ETH. Customers can simply buy via Metamask.

The project stemmed from my experience with uniswaproi.com, where I allow users to purchase paid plans with Metamask. It has been working great.

I hope this will be useful for some of you experimentaing with web3 and connected business models! If you give it a spin and have any comments or feedback, I'd love to hear them!

This is so incredibly wrong that it blows my mind.

SpaceX within 10 years make launch prices 5-10x cheaper, maybe that deserves them having a great position in the market for a while. This is exactly prove that in a capitalist system major gains in productivity can happen even to high capital industries. If anything this is just another example of capitalist greatness, an immigrant who literally sleeped in his office and showered at the gym 20 years ago is transforming Spaceflight.

People are so incredibly short sighted, a successful company, 4 years after people stop saying 'they will go bankrupt soon' its 'omg this company will literally control the WHOLE EARTH. The predictions of Karl Marx were correct, capital is inherently centralizing is correct, here comes SpaceX like the harbinger of materialism inherent truth.'

We have been threw this cycle so many times and it never makes much sense, but there never seem to be a shortage of people that will talk about anti-trust and breaking up any company that is successful. Go and to some historical research on Anti-Trust, if anything it was a political tool the Progressive Party to go after successful business.

And by absolutely no definition what so ever is SpaceX a monopoly in literally anything.

On one hand, it's a harder problem than you're giving it credit for. We're likely to end up with a death toll of a heavy flu season or a bit above, but that's because the country's taking it seriously, building out the required healthcare capacity and taking extreme mitigation measures to make sure there's time to do it. New York has unused ventilator capacity now, and will likely be able to source enough ventilators to keep up even with their peak, but that's only helpful because they've worked at breakneck pace to remove every other obstacle to scaling up the healthcare system.

On the other hand, your last point does reflect a real problem with the media's strategy here. Gross manipulation doesn't allow the media to effectively communicate the subtle distinction between "this is an emergency, we must act urgently or New Yorkers will think they've been hit with the plague" and "our emergency response measures are largely expected to work, it will be tragic but not the end of New York".
Funny enough, Rust doesn't call them "epochs" anymore, we switched to "edition" before the release.

However, there's an active (and in my understanding, decently received) proposal based on it for C++ that is called "epochs".

I think you took this question too literal. Uber et al. have not paid unemployment and other benefits for these "contractors" that are now supposed to receive exactly these benefits. It is literally a bailout for their workforce.

Which I'm happy that we are doing, these are real persons after all, but then we must necessarily dismantle them afterwards to make sure it doesn't repeat.
100% agree with this (professional mathematician, previously in academia, now in industry). There is too much to read, so don't try to scale up. Reading articles take a lot of time and willpower and most articles that are published are usually crap. Instead, I (ab-)use opinions of others to figure out what to read. Often I share my work and ideas with others and ask for their feedback or suggested articles. People are better filters than any rss feed or newsletter.

Similar, I rarely read news. I think it's a waste of time. Instead I use that time to (globally) read Science and Nature. Very high quality articles that often have big impact in the world. I can suggest this habit to everyone.

> Where as usually my notebook cells are only a few lines long, and with a very clear state going in.

That is only true in one very specific case: When you are executing all code cells in order, from top to bottom, exactly once.

If you start executing cells multiple times, or out of order, or even worse, execute only parts of cells (which is possibke in many Jupyter UIs), all bets are off. Anything can happen.
It's Chapter 11 which means that they hope to maintain OneWeb as a viable business.

Only if they convert to Chapter 7 would it mean they've given up on the business completely.
Short answer: yes.

Longer answer: Basic data analysis can pick up most if not all the shenanigans. Doesn't matter how much they "age" the accounts or hide their tracks, eg IP address etc. Don't even necessarily need high powered hardware or even machine learning. They do help in particular ways if you choose to use them.

Fake vote detection is now a choice not to rather than a technical blockage.
I think that choice wasn't based on any particular logic, but rather the fact that car manufacturing is one of the few manufacturing industries that haven't been completely outsourced by most countries, and is somewhat compatible with the demands of building ventilators.

It is fair to point out this is a product of a highly regarded computer science school.

So the honest question is: should we subject industry e.g. blogs to the same standard as the academy. I would think we should hold academic products to a much higher standard. I do agree criticism should be constructive. (One of PRs for example noted lack of mention of CSP.)
We made an app that showcases COVID-19 cases throughout the whole world and the US. The map display is really useful and it's mobile compatible as well. It is an open source project, feel free to contribute. Source code can be found in here: https://github.com/cakebatterandsprinkles/whereiscovid
Unfortunately this, just like many others, is inaccurate because it is only based on reported cases and so far America hasn't tested very many people
I read lots of CVs in the UK and do occasionally get pictures from non-natives. I find it very odd and would strongly discourage people from doing it. I'm not going to give you a job because of the way you look. I don't even care if you're human. You could be a dog but if you've got the chops and fit the team then I'll pay you in crunchy dog treats if that's what you want. I just don't understand what people are trying to achieve with their picture on the CV.
If you ever drove a German car after driving a British car you'll understand :)

The standards for "it's good enough" are vastly different in these countries.
That still isn't an excuse to completely destroy unions tipping the business vs labor competition completely in favor of business. We don't completely dismantle businesses whenever they exhibit "corrupt behavior".

Pulse oximeters seem to be in short supply, with the few that are in stock being significantly more expensive than normal. There has been discussion about covid-19 causing low blood oxygen in those who aren't otherwise showing symptoms so they have no idea that their bodies are operating at a reduced capacity until they start feeling light headed. This is probably what is causing the pulse oximeter sellout.
> I'm intrigued by commenter Roger's (attempted) answer of the question of whether there is something rather than nothing.

Really? It's just playing semantic games with the definition of "nothing" and "something". It doesn't explain anything: neither why there is something instead of nothing, nor why that something is the way it is.

Thinking about Roger's comment some more, I believe the error he makes is that he treats "nothing" like the empty set {}, which can be used to form non-empty sets {{}}, {{}, {}}, {{{}}} ("something"), when really the term "nothing" denotes a concept closer to the non-existence of the empty set and the construction of sets from other sets.
In the email he says “end on 2021” which is 21 months.

To be honest I really can't see what exactly the Ariane 6 does better then Falcon 9/Falcon Heavy. I can not see how it has any chance in a commercial market, they will have to get government launches, but there are not enough.

Ariane 6 was a response to Falcon 9 first generation, and they designed it to compete with a Falcon 9 from 4 years ago, Falcon 9 is a different beast now.

Even launching 2 huge satellites is not gone work because there are fewer of those launches, and Falcon Heavy is getting a bigger fairing that could do that too.

But won't people who survive have an increased chance of death in the next few years as well? Seems probably that they would.
