Unaffiliated BTW. Just find that their storage saves space compare to Maildir and pretty scalable compare postfix. It also allows unicode email addresses.
Macbooks do literally nothing, it's macOS that does. And with a bit of effort and understanding of the input stack, you can get it pretty close on GNU/Linux anyway - at least close enough for really comfortable usage. I haven't been using mice for years now and I'm not a Macbook user.
It's a sad hack because you can't actually pay them for the thing you want to pay them for, so instead you have to pay for an unrelated product you don't necessarily need or want just to be able to reach a human.

Could be, indeed.
Heh, replace i2p with any technology that connects humans to each other and you'll get the same.

I remember many saying the same about the internet when it first became mainstream as well. "What's the use of connecting with other anonymous people? Sounds like ripe for committing crimes. Normal people just talk with each other in person or on the phone"

Any network is prone to go through the same phases of "Just nerds > just nerds and some others who don't have a place > Broader community > Mainstream > Old, left-behind people"
Why not? An OS is a large beast, it’s a massive TCB. Much easier to audit a small amount of code running in an enclave with few dependencies.
I'm a happy user of runbox myself. I learned about it here on HN, in fact. Good security and privacy, reasonably priced, and a quite good webmail client (I think – I haven't used it extensively). Of course, it helps that they're based in Norway, where I live.
Could it be that the young poet's father had re-told the literal fact of reprisals against collaborators as a fairy tale of destroying wolves, which are generally accepted as wicked?

Not sure why you're being downvoted. Software running on the user's machine has no business keeping secrets from the user. This "feature" is the antithesis of computing freedom as we know it.

Trusted computing is at least salvageable. The issue is not the technology but who owns the keys. If users can install their own keys, the technology will empower them with increased security. SGX cannot be used to empower the user like this. It's specifically designed to protect software from the user.

My Gmail tab that I leave pinned regularly loses connection and stops updating. It seems more and more these days Google things just break when you don't use Chrome. Using Gmail with Firefox hasn't felt fast in a long while.
There certainly seemed to be an over-abundance of jabs at Diversity and Inclusion programs and staff. They’re surely a very small minority of the admin bloat, and they pursue a noble goal.

It wasn’t that surprising to see Jared Taylor being recommended in the comments, given the subject matter and conservative angle this piece has.

The US is 72.4% white. You would then expect there to be 27.6% non-white students at any particular institution, assuming no racial discrimination, etc. So then why is 40% non-white a desirable outcome? I thought the point was to compensate for exclusion / marginalization / discrimination, in which case the target should be that aforementioned 27.6%.

EDIT: since many people are replying to me saying that using the national demographic stats is a bad thing to do, I will use the stats for GP's state, which appears to be Virginia. Using these stats (94.2% white), you would expect the school to have only 5.8% non-white students, assuming a complete lack of racial discrimination compared to the state population.

I personally still think using the national stats is a better idea, as the goal of a college / university should not be to only educate people from the state it is located in.
> "Apparently it was the coronavirus. Yes, the self-replicating snippet of math that’s now terrorizing the whole human race"

Great analogy, except of course a virus is not self replicating.
The Java community has the population of a mid-sized country and is far from homogenous on any axis, and so the 0.1% of Java developers who use it to, say, write embedded control software [1] outnumber those who do it in Rust at least 100 to 1, and the 1% of professional Java developers who use monadic (ish) composition for IO [2] outnumber those who use it in Haskell 50 to 1.

So there could be a million Java developers who'd like to see more functional features, a million who'd like to see less, and then a group the size of, say, the population of Ireland that doesn't really care (with a sampling error of several Haskells).

I'm intrigued by the subject due to life long sleep issues. Mostly caused by bad habits. I enjoyed about 50% of the book and overall I appreciated that it got me some food for thought and back to working on my sleep quality. But other than that I had to say the book is really thin on material relative to its size. And the way the guy delved into subtopics like drugs and lucid dreaming left me quite skeptical about how deep he is into the field at all. That book could have been written by a student of medicine. There was nothing conveying any deeper understanding, interest or insight into sleep - no intuition.
Thank you for sharing your experience
Happened to me a few years ago. Google account got terminated with no explanation. I used it for personal e-mail, watching videos on Youtube and to store personal files on Google Drive. I never posted anything anywhere public, including commenting on Youtube. Since then I've been self-hosting everything I can.
I think costs are so high because every institution needs to spend more money each year to continue to grow, and growth has infected finance and academia like a virus, forcing us into a race to the bottom to continue to feed the growth death cult. Diversity is just a Boogeyman that those same cultists use as redirection from their own crimes because it's easy to convince people that the other guy is out to get you.

Sites have started being smart about it. I also now know of services which won’t allow you to create an account if the string contains the service name in it.
The fact alone that they are banning "content" (it was just a harmless title and a pic) about private property in this period is not a coincidence.

There was no way to link that title "Boston Basic Income #98: Karl Widerquist on Private Property" to any violation of the law.

I think they are just scared that in this period, talking about private property will bring people to uprise/unite to stop paying rents. YouTube is still part of the capitalist system and will do its part to protect it. And nobody is talking about this kind of censorship.

Hi all, I'm reposting this because I made a mistake and the first time and didn't post it under "SHOW HN:".

In the last couple of weeks I've hacked together a small website that lets you check the latest trending world news or all the news related to a topic you are interested in. There are additional filters that allows you to have even more specific searches like date range, languages, etc.

It critical that we stay informed in what’s going on in the world during these crazy times where information is of most importance.

All correlations did _not_ go to 1. Volatility was amazing and certainly anti-correlated.

Risk parity's fatal flaw is assuming all instruments must be generating continuous profits.

Xft.dpi: 192 in ~/.Xresources should do it for most things. I know chromium and firefox do now. However I couldn't get (u)rxvt to scale. The i3 docs [0] also state a font that scales is needed (e.g., *.font: pango:somefont in ~/.Xresources).

>But as others have said, if you only use the ventilator for the very sickest people, then the more pressed you are the fewer survivors you'll get because people who have a chance without it will be kept off the ventilator if at all possible. My very limited understanding is that ventilation has major issues around bacterial infection.

This is why everybody is locking down so you don't have to make a choice between those that will benefit the most from ventilation and those that have little hope left. For most socialized healthcare systems once a resource is in sort supply guidelines for selecting those that will benefit the most are established. So at the end of the day the 80 y.o won't receive the ventilator but the 50 y.o. will( at least that's how it works here).
"The White, non-Hispanic or Latino population make up 61.3% of the nation's total, with the total White population (including White Hispanics and Latinos) being 76.9%." - Wikipedia

Man, you twisted this comment so much to extract that message. The commenter is likely saying it's good that the campus is more representative, not that they're for the elimination of whites or some shit. Also, you don't know where they live. Where I come from, it's about 80 percent nonwhite. Before you comment, consider that the story you make up in your head isn't always the most likely.

Edit: Hawaii has 25 percent whites, so my estimate was correct.
One can only shake his head when you hear about how things work in America.

Why are you so hostile against each other and/or the weaker/younger/non-wealthy people?

In most of Europe, education is free. You'll obviously have to take care of your own cost of living, but there are no real fees where you come out of your education and have 100k in debt.

Why do things in America work so different? It's not (yet) a third world country, it could probably easily finance things like these for its residents. But instead you milk your youth, leave them with debt and shrug your shoulders about things like these?

Why?

(free = Universities in Germany have what is called "Semesterbeitrag". This varies but for my university it was like 700 €/year and you would get free transportation in NRW with that and more benefits.)
I think we'll recover within that time frame and things will mostly return to normal.

The efficiency of WFH will be forgotten and the rat race will continue.
Why is it a good thing there is more non-white students? Why does it matter what ethnicity they are if they have the right grades to go there? I don't give a shit about someone's sex or race when working with someone, nor do I go around a room counting how many white co-workers I have. I am baffled by it.
I was bored, so after reading the thread here, I did the update anyway. iOS, too.

No problems, still bored.
Yes, one can measure the difference in gravitational potential between two locations by comparing clocks. This is precisely what was done in the Skytree experiment.
Also coordinated effort is required.
Yeah, "nothing" is a really poor term to summarize "Apple made fundamentally superior choices in terms of hardware development, software integration and general OS input architecture in the past 15 years".

I use both Windows and Fedora enthusiastically on desktop machines, but recognize that even high-end Windows laptops have trouble matching my 2012 Macbook in terms of input. Apple has been miles ahead of the competition in this specific regard for years. I would love to use Linux on a laptop, but although the combination of libinput and modern Qt and Gtk are helping here they're still ways off [1].

Many people who have only used Linux and Windows on laptops for years assume that a touchpad is only there as an emergency. That you cannot seriously use a laptop without a peripheral.

On Macbooks, that's simply not the case - I never use a mouse with my Macbook. It's easy and probably deserved to discount Macbooks in other areas (even in terms of e.g. keyboard input, looking at Apple's 2016-2019 lineup), but you don't know how good an input tool a touchpad can be unless you've spent some time familiarizing yourself with a Mac touchpad.

Apple sells desktop versions of the touchpad [2]. It might be difficult to believe, but they do so unironically. I bought one for when I connect my Macbook to a big screen.

[1]: I found that Ubuntu has a better laptop input experience when running in a VMWare Fusion than running natively on a Macbook, despite all hardware working out of the box...

Governments want people to own homes because people use them as retirement investments. If everyone rented and didn't save the state welfare costs for old people would be huge.

I am using national statistics given a lack of information by the GP. If the GP wants to update with a more accurate location, they are free to, and we can have this discussion with better accuracy. Without that, the "story in my head" is, in fact, the most likely.
I disable them for two reasons:

1) they take ages to complete and I want to run them on my schedule instead of being forced to take a 40-60 minute chunk out of my schedule.
2) there's always a risk of an update breaking something and if that happens, I'm OK with being a few days/weeks behind.

In recent years, big OSX updates are effectively a beta release until the second service release or so. Also, they have been enormously underwhelming in the sense that I can barely tell them apart. There's generally very little in them that I need/want. I don't use any of the bundled software (mail, icloud, the office stuff, etc). All I care about is being able to run my browser (Firefox), Homebrew, some games (quite a few less as of Catalina), and development tools like vs code, intellij, docker.

I actually updated my imac to the latest Catalina last weekend, and applied the fix we're discussing here a few days ago to be able to run the latest x-plane beta with a new rendering engine that uses metal (and vulkan elsewhere); it complained it needed the latest driver. Didn't break anything for me luckily. My mac book pro is not getting the supplemental upgrade until I know it's not going to ruin my day.
I’d try a site generator like Hugo or Jekyll if I were you. Then host for free on netlify which takes care of build/deploy/hosting and DNS for free. I think you’d need an hour or so for the basics and another couple of hours to customise to your tastes.

Don't you have apprenticeships in your country?

University programs as I know them prepare the enrolled for a career in science and are typically far removed from concerns of practicability or applicability.
Indeed, this shouldn't have been a top comment. It is more a reply to the `org-roam`. Also no, I'm not involved in the development of that app, I just happen to like it.

BTW, if your intention is not to crap on anyone's work, maybe don't call something a dime-a-dozen app?

> That's a distinction without a difference - how would you tell whether the particle is magically looking up its results in the universe's big book of random numbers or deciding for itself? It's true that quantum-mechanical randomness is localised, in a provable sense, but there's no contradiction between that and what "randomness" is usually understood to mean.

one of the points the theorem makes is that you can't get the behaviour of fundamental particles by injecting randomness into an otherwise determinstic system. Free Will is different from randomness.

Have you watched the lectures ?
Three things for me have changed:

The first is my willingness to make sacrifices and the extent to which I’ve gone to make sure my children are safe.

The second is my view of what’s important in life. While younger, money most definitely topped my list. Presently, being able to spend time with them is highest.

The other thing that I realize that has changed for me is the awareness that so few things are fixed.

I’ve seen how the kids try and fail, and try again. This helped me to realize that a lot of what I used to take as a given was in reality not. It’s made me more curious and willing to experiment.

As they grow, more things will change in my life.
In the context of higher education it is OK.
Also: It doesn't even matter what statistics are correct, your assumption that the original commenter was celebrating antiwhite sentiment is absurd by itself.

Original:

You're using statistics for the whole USA. There are half a million people here, you're just regressing to the mean, some states have a larger percent nonwhite people.

Hawaii has 25 percent whites, so my estimate was correct.

Edit: also, your stats are wrong, see the other comment and get some perspective.
It's not just pressure from the EU, a lot of it is also coming from the USG [0], that's why Google, and pretty much any other major US-based social media, have outsourced a lot of content moderation to small armies of shadow-moderators in the Philippines [1]

They are trying to prevent both millions of deaths and and worst economic collapse in modern age. Privacy isn't as important. Fight this thing when corona-virus is over.
Too late. If governments ever want to make a Bluetooth contact tracking app mandatory, they can already do so, and could have done so before this platform was created. All Google and Apple are doing is making it very marginally easier.

You don't have contact details in your profile so I can't tell you this privately. Very likely, provided you do it soon, you can edit the submission and re-insert the "150". You have about 2 hours, or until lots of people show up and make lots of comments, or give you lots of upvotes.

There’s always ALWAYS some tech extremist who can never see the good, can only EVER see the dark shadows, the spooks, the spies, the nefarious dark forces.

For these guys it’s all a matter of sticking by their extremely dogmatic “principles”.

Wouldn’t matter if god himself turned up to do good deeds for all, they’d condemn his omnipotent presence for its ability to spy and break privacy.

They’ll always come out at times like this and whine.

I’m nit saying big tech companies aren’t privacy bashing personal data leeches - they are - it’s just tedious to listen to the whiny little privacy nuts come rolling out even when there’s a positive initiative on the table - “but it’s not positive! They’ll turn it to evil and we’ll never get it wound back!” Sheesh.
The way they are doing Guédelon is incredibly expensive: they aren't just restoring to the specs, but they are using period techniques, too. That means it takes longer and has fewer skilled workers available.

You threw around racial discrimination because the national average white-concentration is 10% off from what the other commentor said, while, at the same time, again, you don't even know where the school is within US. Your use of statistics is a bad kind of quick-think.

Edit: noticed your nickname is fastball. A bit ironic.
What is your point? Hispanics/latinos can be identified as white. The percent of people in the US that are white by the 2010 census definition is 72.4%.
It seems well thought out from privacy side but I acknowledge their could be unintended consequences and bad actors that take advantage - but - I feel this is a price worth paying given the magnitude of the situation we are all in.
