> I do not give false impressions

You are. By choosing when they get to choose, you're creating a cultural hegemony that they aren't conscious participants in.

Your goal as a parent shouldn't be to socialize them into the norms, values, and beliefs of the dominant social group. The only thing you gain by this is replicating society.

> you cannot expect such behavior out of small children purely through negotiation.

You misunderstand, I do not argue for negotiation because you shouldn't negotiate. You carry no stake in your child's future, in this sense they're only themselves. If they are only themselves, then there is nothing for you to negotiate about.

> and their legal guardian

Please understand that I do not care about the actuality of your legal status. My concern isn't in what is but in what ought. I am purely interested in your[0] limitation of their potentiality for "pure reason", as Kant would put it.

[0] I use and have used the word "your" rather carelessly. I don't mean you because I don't know you.
I’m surprised that most people even bother with bootloaders like grub... On all the machines I’ve used recently, the UEFI boot manager works fine, and you can just use a kernel with an EFI stub and initramfs built in. It’s obviously a bit much for most users, but you’d think Linux distros could just package it all up.
You've now rediscovered one of the primary controversies around the concept of the Limited Liability Corporation. Though they were more focused around financial debt/consequences at the time, people were also perturbed at the possibility that the corporation could be found to have done wrong, and seemingly no one would be able to held to account.

The way this is worked around today, is that a second criminal case has to be brought against individuals in the corporation. The corporation has no right against self-incrimination; and the ideaisthere should be enough evidence capable of being raked up to hold people accountable.

Corporate legal counsel are "held hostage" in the sense that if it is found they refused to comply with legal requests, they can be disbarred, but that doesn't mean that companies won't go out of the way to not record things or surreptitiously lose evidence.

At the end of the day, the super power of the corporation is that when it dies no one else goes along with it. On the other hand though, it does take extreme vigilance and will to pierce the corporate veil to prove wrongdoing.

It's a tough nut to crack satisfyingly to be sure.

The usefulness of this articled is lessened because it's React-specific and React is bad with DOM and style isolation in general.

The base problem here is that both a component and its host may want to style the component. The component model should account for this and offer some guidance.

Web components do this with the `:host` selector that styles the component from within its shadow root. The styles applied with the `:host` selector can be overridden by the outside styles, without the component needing to weaken encapsulation by allowing styling from the outside via JS properties. This means it's not really bad for a component to give itself default outside styling like block vs inline display, or even margins, because the user can always reset them as needed, much like built-in elements.

For instance, a web component might have these styles:

<my-element>
#shadow-root
:host {
margin: 1em;
}

And at its use-site, the margins can be set differently:

<style>
my-element {
margin-botton: 0;
}
</style>
<h1>...</h1>
<my-element></my-element>
<div>...</div>

Shadow DOM also helps with specificity fights, as the cascade goes: shadow style -> light style -> light !important -> shadow !important. This way a component can define which styles are only defaults.

Edit to clarify: one of the big problems with the article is the use of inline styles. They have the highest specificity and there's no built-in way to "merge" inline styles like you normally get via inheritance and the cascade.

This is great.

It's called "PID Without a PhD" but it still assumes at least an undergrad level training.

I wish it had been around when I was studying EE-2-Control. That was not one of my favourite courses but is one of the bits of theory that I have reached for the most since and this guide has been a very useful reminder of much of it.
This isn't a service, but good old-fashioned desktop software.
I think that you can use intermediate proxy server. So everyone logs into that proxy server and logs into other server using key from proxy server. Key is protected with passphrase and unlocked with ssh-agent by someone after reboot. If you need to revoke access, you can just revoke access in the proxy server.
Etsy and Shopify are great e-commerce platforms, but creators still would have to do all the work of understanding what products will work with their audience and that is data that we will be able to provide based on our current and future portfolios on our marketplace. We also solve the rest of the equation for them, translating their culinary content into commercial products through in-house R&D, packaging design and we physically manufacture all products and manage delivery and customer service as well. So for them it is as simple as signing a contract with us and then earning revenue within a few weeks.
Yup, that's exactly where I sit. A well implemented VPN is useful because I heavily distrust my ISP. I _could_ use some other big VPN provider, I guess, but I've always admired the tech stack of Cloudflare.. so I'm interested.

And fwiw, since I'm sure someone will think it - I don't want to manage my own VPN on some remote server. Not only would I put myself at risk because I don't have the experience to manage a secure server of such importance, but all I did was move my risk from my ISP to some other endpoint (VPS hosting/etc).

It feels like a game of risks no matter what you do.

Why was the HackRF not included at all?
> But in sales and recruiting, “no” doesn’t always mean “no”.

Where I should start?

I dived too deep into dating - partly because I was in the process of writing "Dating for Nerds", and partly because my ex-girlfriend was a sexologist/sociologist (who at that time was writing her master's thesis "Market Metaphors in Dating").

There are many sales metaphors for dating, especially in PUA lingo (including all about the target, pitch, funnel, and close). What I've found even more interesting is that there are many parallels between the ethics of both. While for doing things against someone's will it is obviously wrong (and a crime), there is a dark-gray zone of things that are not a crime, but still - are rarely done in good faith, and can hurt the other person. If something is a gray zone in one, very often the other tells if it is OK-ish to a--holish.

And 'no' in business is the same. Yes, people can change mind. Yes, 'no' sometimes means "maybe... but if I said that, you would have assumed 'yes' and put me in a really uncomfortable situation".
There are pushy salespeople that after "no" they act as if they heard yes. This strategy may work, especially on people who are less assertive, less confident, etc. But it is a dick move, so don't.
A lot of classic PAU is based on these pushy tactics. They even call when the next day a girl regrets they have had sex "buyer's remorse".

Yes, some people would react differently if they've heard more, or maybe need time to consider things, or would benefit from some encouragement.
I am so grateful to all salespeople, and recruiters, who after hearing "no" respected that work. And treated me like a person, not a ripe bag of gold.
>then you're giving us implicit permission to talk to you

Certainly. Although I'm guessing that at least some of the people on this thread most objecting to cold outreach would still classify something like an email after getting a badge scan at a trade show as spam. You're right that lead acquisition happens in a lot of ways other than the spam I get in my inbox offering to sell me address lists. However, a lot of people still get mad at emails that are the result of casual interactions. Honestly, it's the way the business world works but people are still going to object to it.

>The gun analogy illustrates: if you removed all sales people from all organisations, then nobody would need any salespeople: companies would still have needs for e.g. software and would still find companies through marketing. It wouldn't result in companies losing revenue. OP (not sure if it was you or not) was conflating marketing and sales.

And then some company would figure out that, at least for certain types of products, having someone who directly cultivates a relationship with buyers is a really effective way to increase revenues relative to the competition.
So an attacker in any router between you and your destination server, which can cross various countries' borders, is not part of your "threat model", but you expected to read about hardware security tokens? The ones that prevent against physical access leading to a key compromise? In CVSS terms, that's two levels up (from attack vector: adjacent to attack vector: physical) and considered much less likely.

I'm probably misunderstanding what you meant, but between those two I'd say MITM is a much higher risk than someone being able to break everything to the point where you need a yubikey/HSM to protect your keys.

Dear all,

Thank you for checking out the site! I started www.covidhelpcenter.com to help arts professionals and organizations find COVID-19 emergency relief funds.

I used to run a popular classical music concert series in Vancouver, Canada up until the outbreak, so I have been collecting such information to help myself and others.

I would sincerely appreciate any comments or feedbacks!
Covid Trace
But you can't add or remove people in a call. You have to call everyone simultaneously up front. If you didn't add someone at the start, you have to hang up and start a new call, and hope that everyone else hangs up too so they can join the new call.

Duo has a ton of problems around establishing calls, and identity in general especially with multiple devices. It also has kind of a mystery meat UI with unlabeled buttons and undiscoverable interactions. And the artificial separation between text and video chat (Allo/Duo) never made sense in the first place, and continues to hamstring Duo even after Allo's death.
Show HN: We've created a visual live-programming environment for .NET
Yes, that's what VoiceMeeter does (same author).
helo HN, joreg here, one of the devvvvs team of 5. After more than 7 years in R&D we've just released the second major release of our visual live programming environment vvvv, titled "vvvv gamma". It uses our language "VL" which compiles to C# using roslyn and it is using state hot-reload to allow you to modify programs while they are running.

It combines metaphors known from dataflow programming with others known from OOP and functional programming, but all visual. Still if you want you can extend it with C# code easily and even consume any .NET library from nuget.org directly without the need to write any plugin-wrapper boilerplate code.

From previous HN discussions we know you all have an opinion on visual programming, so please try vvvv, we hope it to be different to what you expect. It is free for non-commercial use without any restrictions, no registration required. Windows only for now.

Looking forward to your feedback and please let us know if this is something that could be useful for you!

Love learning new things (currently mastering Rust) and solving hard problems (optimization, debugging etc.).

> Software engineers are kinda spoiled in this regard because we make the big bucks.

But that's true of offices as well. Do you think the average administrative assistant is working on Aeron chairs? No, they're working on cheap chairs and cheap desks. In fact, so did I, despite being a developer - I just didn't work at a fancy company. At least at home we have the option of spending a bit more, even if it comes out of our paycheck.
I love the ideal, but unfortunately this is only a characteristic of software that is not (widely) used. In a combination of the Peter Principle and the Big Bang, software will be used in an every-expanding array of uses for which it will attempt to add first-party support until it collapses under it's own mass and dies a death of ten thousand vertical slice competitors and the process repeats.
It's also common sense! People without work, cops calling out sick, and street gangs ready to go. So I trust those reports, and I did just say above there are videos and exact addresses.

Also, Detroit's murder rate has just spiked by 50 pct and shootings by 30%, because you can't 'hide' that or hand wave that away.

Not interested in a new role but I just want to say thank you for making such an awesome device! 'Flying' my skydio 2 has been just pure joy and wonder.

For those unfamiliar with their product, it is a drone that uses some cool computer vision tech to fly itself. You can set it to track you so that it will follow along while you go about your business hiking / mountaineering / kayaking or whatever - all the while dodging obstacles and navigating completely autonomously. First time in a while that I've been truly blown away by technology that feels damn close to magic.
Strategic National Stockpile
Absolutely, I expressed myself poorly, they do provide _some_ protection and if everyone wore them it would be even more effective. But, on the other hand, it would also provide a false sense of safety and being followed by lessening the need for self isolation. But we shouldn't resort to such things, where are the real safety masks? Its hard not to get worried about how so unprepared we are and and in an eventual case of other imminent emergencies and crises we might have even worse outcome. We should think more often about how we impact our environment and how the weather has been changing and affecting everything around us. Stay safe

In the US the cost of an MRI varies wildly and doesn't much correlate with the cost of providing them.

The machines are not cheap, but a busy site can churn through scans, so it can end up working out to something fairly reasonable and not at all the most expensive thing going on in US healthcare.
Here's another angle: office space is also a (significant at times) cost and some companies may be low on cash soon.

> Intentionally not researching how chat bots work and trying it myself first. Avoiding frameworks and starting with a simple HTTP server. And making all the mistakes I could've avoided.

Excellent ideas for learning about how those systems work. Honestly there's no better way. The problems arise when people assume their roll-your-own HTTP server is a good idea to deploy in prod.

Unless there's a really good business reason, take the knowledge you gained from that exercise to work, but leave the code at home.
The FDA exists because before those regulations were a thing, there were scandals such as the Elixir Sulfanilamide poisoning deaths in 1937:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elixir_Sulfanilamide

... And then tighter regulations were required for testing new medicines, after incidents such as the Thalidomide birth defects scandal:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thalidomide#Birth_defect_crisi...

Having a regulatory framework for the pharmaceutical industry is essential to public safety. But the framework we currently have, as it has evolved, isn't fit for purpose any more.

Regulating drug development is a complex problem, and the people best qualified to supervise the approvals/licensing process are typically folks who've worked in the industry. But this opens the system up to Regulatory Capture:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulatory_capture

TLDR is, you get a revolving door between the regulated industry and the regulators, and the regulators are co-opted into maintaining barriers to entry that keep insurgents out (thereby providing a profitable oligopoly to their former -- and usually future -- employers).

There is also a toxic interaction with the WTO-endorsed patent system, which is w-a-y too complex to get into in this comment but which ensures that new antibiotics (which we desperately need) are unprofitable but the price of drugs that are decades out of their original patent coverage (such as insulin) can be made to spiral profitably by tweaking the intellectual property playing field.

I'm sorry, but I don't have a simple/easy answer for this: it's a really gnarly problem that will require not only legislation but international treaty negotiations to mitigate, and simplistic attempts to cut the red tape are likely to lead to snake oil scandals and, quite possibly, a considerable death toll, not just new breakthrough treatments.
