> "...a hobby website using GA is too minor to care about for any of the privacy reasons the author states..."

while it's a whole lot less signal per site, long-tail websites can provide more signal per visit than large ones. knowing you like kazakh folk music more uniquely identifies you for targeting than knowing you read cnn.

and for small sites, you don't often need a lot of data. just knowing number of visits and some basic visitor characteristics (country, time, etc.) on a per-page basis is usually as much as you need to make use of. depending on the business, a large site can and possibly should build custom analytics as a competitive advantage that doesn't have google (and facebook, amazon, etc.) looking over their shoulder.

nobody really needs GA. many don't even need realitme analytics afforded by a js library loaded on every page. you can just do log analysis, à la the original urchin analytics that google bought long ago.

I think it's less about openvpn and more about having the protocol integrated with existing enterprise products/infrastructure/paradigms.
We are moving from passive to active isolation now. The isolation that we need right now isn't too challenging. The hard part is ensuring that it doesn't disturb other properties of our instruments. We are sensitive to nanoradian rotations at millihertz frequencies, so we have to ensure that our isolation systems don't add any rotation noise.

Regarding isolation-as-a-service: Most of these kinds of experiments run for many years in a university setting. The environmental requirements for each instrument vary widely, too. "Isolated-environment laboratories as a user facility" is an interesting idea to consider. I'm not sure if it would soar in the academic-research marketplace, but there might be a niche somewhere.
I can't find any info on BASF's STOP; can you link me to something relevant? It's up my alley personally, would love to learn more.

I’ve been seeing hcaptcha in more and more places recently. It’s a bit rough around the edges still, but it works well and feels far less hostile than recaptcha.

I think the point is, Forcing people to stay home is a solve against cars and coronavirus. The death rate for cars is higher, so why haven't we forced a lockdown to deal with car deaths? What makes the Coronavirus different, besides that it's been 100 years since we've had a serious pandemic?
> To which, I'm pretty confident [other products] don't all share these problems

I am not confident of this.

I would assume that anything that isn't actively being sold into the large enterprise market has Zoom-level problems, or worse.
I've trialed several video conferencing apps in the last few weeks (Skype, Zoom, Hangouts and others), Jitsi Meet is the only one I've been able to have a video call on with my low-bandwidth, high-ping network. They've done a superb job for my use-case, I'm very happy with the result.
Another good example is the post with price predictions. Please stop. It's a manipulated and unregulated market.
What a nasty way to refer to someone offering free educational resources.
Because running as 3rd-party or independent has been rendered nigh impossible by lots of crap that is difficult to undo.
It’s an ad but not a hidden/submarine one. It’s a blog post on the company’s blog giving a long list of reasons to try their product instead of their major competitor.
Worked for me too. 2.5 weeks lead for a C930e ordered middle of March.

Razer Kiyo as well, direct from Razer.
When I tried Jitsi with my family friends, some of them struggled to use it since they don't know English.
So I think changing the language can be easier for nonspeakers of English.

For example, language select box can be placed next to "Go" button (when creating meeting) and next to info button in the meeting.
Also using "Accept-Language" HTTP header for choosing the language can be a good default.
Another option is to add a language query parameter to the URL so that host can easily share meeting with a particular language.

Also if it would be great if some improvements can be made for low bandwitdh since there are people with slow connections and limited data plans.
(On the other hand, there is already an option to lower video quality).

Other than that, kudos to Jitsi team for their great efforts and this great project.
I understand that. I just find it ridiculous that this test considers a way that does not involve visualisation as something abnormal or proof that the person has the disorder.
I imagine the 14 countries are Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States (from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Stadia )

However, visiting the stadia site from the UK only gives me a Stadia Premiere purchase option.
The concepts are definitely applicable. You'll need to do some small work to translate vocabulary and work around a slightly different feature set, but most of it should work for you.

And yep, Cassandra is pretty similar to DynamoDB. Both are wide-column data stores. Some of the original folks that worked on Dynamo (not DynamoDB) at Amazon.com went to Facebook and worked on Cassandra. The concepts underlying Dynamo because the basis for DynamoDB at AWS.

Ask HN: How can we help project to succeed?
I was wondering how many projects failed even before started. 🧐

I think we can all have great ideas, but we don't have the knowledge to act efficiently on it and turn them into valuable concepts. Even if we read a lot of articles on the web, it's still hard to find good actionable insights and personal advice.

My thought is: can't we build a bundle mixing actionable training, turn-key software and mentoring to help people to bootstrap their projects?

The bundle's goal gonna be :

- An actionable how-to and knowledge to help you to validate an idea (+ an online community to discuss and go deeper)
- The right tools to build your MVPs without over-thinking about stack (Landing page, Audience builder, Reusable templates, etc..)
- Coaching to help you set your pace and make sure you're on the right track.

A little bit like Startups.com, Indie Hackers or Product Hunt Ship are doing but with peering and mentoring at this core.

In one sentence, helping you to be focused on your product and reduce your mental workload.

Would you be willing to pay for such a service? If yes, how much ?

Any feedbacks would be awesome!
A PCR will generally have around a 99% sensitivity and a 95% specificity. That depends on things like the nasal swab going all the way to the back in a deeply uncomfortable way and if they only get the front of the nasal cavity (with Covid-19 in particular) it might be just a 95% sensitivity.

Antibody tests will generally have a much lower sensitivity but can detect whether you had the virus in the past.
> With any website it's important to know how many visitors it is receiving. In the context of a blog knowing you're getting a lot of traffic can motivate you to publish more content and knowing more about your visitors can also feed into what sort of content you publish.

No, and trying to make your content more appealing based on analytics is often a great way to tend towards SEO optimized blogspam.
I think OP was alluding to Zoom not showcasing the reqs on the US careers site. Most companies including Microsoft do display open positions in all countries including China on their US page.
I find that for information search intent is a poor pre-qualifier for sales leads.
You can still buy plenty of USB cameras at normal prices -- just search for ones that aren't called "web" cams. Here are a few examples but there are literally hundreds of others.

Search for "USB camera" or "machine vision camera".

Also, toilet paper is in stock at several industrial suppliers, and especially the jumbo rolls (I'm sure if you're on HN you can improvise a way to hold those). I'm not going to list specific ones here but you probably know the usual suspects if you have ordered for a company before. It's mostly sold out only at consumer outlets.
Call me a cynic, but if apps like these became popular, I'd expect to see a creeping escalation. Reel in a large user base, then slowly capture and send more data. The possibility of being able to track a nation in real-time would have the security services blowing a load in their proverbial pants.
Unlikely IMO.

"Zoom, a Silicon Valley-based company, appears to own three companies in China through which at least 700 employees are paid to develop Zoom’s software. This arrangement is ostensibly an effort at labor arbitrage: Zoom can avoid paying US wages while selling to US customers, thus increasing their profit margin. However, this arrangement may make Zoom responsive to pressure from Chinese authorities."

Mainframes are well built, but not that well built. 40 years is a very long time for a machine to be running and for nobody to have made a transition plan.

OTOH, considering few politicians see beyond the end of their term, I would not be that much surprised why any such project would be axed until it becomes evident the thing will blow up during their terms.

It may remove legal basis for using the data, but it certainly doesn't remove their abilities.
I wouldn't say my job is low level (it's on the higher end of the spectrum) and in the past few interviews the recruiters/HR/interviewer/(whatever their exact role in the company may have been) added me on social media to explore my profile before the interview.

Actually for my current job they added me right after I won the recruitment, around the time I was starting the job, "validated" my timeline on different platforms, and then quietly removed themselves from my lists. So they did some due diligence but wanted to show this had no bearing on the recruitment process.

I did try to find something simpler, and I remember looking at Fathom but I don't recall off the top of my head what my qualm was. Basically anything that involves a VM is more complex than the system I described and anything that involves Docker is considerably more expensive (Fargate/ECS/EKS pricing models).
Hello from the JAX team!

We'd like to take this opportunity to give a shout out to some of the awesome projects folks are building on top of JAX, e.g.,

* Haiku, a neural network library for JAX inspired by Sonnet (https://github.com/deepmind/dm-haiku)

* RLax, a library for building reinforcement learning agents (https://github.com/deepmind/rlax)

* NumPyro, a probabilistic programming library on top of JAX (https://github.com/pyro-ppl/numpyro)

* JAX-MD, a differentiable molecular dynamics package built on top of JAX (https://github.com/google/jax-md)
This is really fun. Thank you!
Considering captchas operate by pushing the work of avoiding bots on your site (your problem) onto all the human users of your site, I think on the basis of that alone "anti-human" is warranted. Or "anti-social", if you prefer, which might better capture the fundamental problem with that aspect of it. That they proceed to perform textbook gaslighting on some of those people makes it even worse ("no, you didn't select all the buses in those images" but, of course, you did). Whether these things are necessary for it to operate is beside the point.

" We, with the advantage of hindsight, can see clearly that Maxwell's paper was the most important event of the nineteenth century in the history of the physical sciences. If we include the biological sciences as well as the physical sciences, Maxwell's paper was second only to Darwin's ``Origin of Species''."

By what metric? How has Darwin's ``Origin of Species`` been even half as prolific as Maxwell's work? Maxwell's work revolutionized our understanding of the physical world and had lead to the creation of thousands upon thousands of technological advances. It has literally forged the modern world.
How else would like expect potential candidate feedback to make it to execs if not by way of their front line recruiters? If candidate feedback isn't making it's way to execs, that's a serious problem in Amazon's hiring processes.

I have no suggestions for the general case, and suspect it is one of those problems that doesn't have general-purpose solution. That doesn't mean captchas don't suck.

As for specific things one can do, like anything, more effort means better results. I'm not going to talk about this much, but we do look at a lot of different behavioral and other signals for fraud detection, as that's an important aspect of our business.

If others are fine with annoying their customers to offload risk, they can make that call. I don't have much sympathy about lost sales, though - it is literally choosing to waste customers' time and increase frustration for one's own benefit.

Right now axiom isn't great for QA as we don't have conditional logic, but that inevitable feature will make QA pretty easy.

It's not good for scraping large-scale data-sets, but is good for data extraction from very complex forms.

The ideal use case is 'Extract, Transform, Load'. Most scrapers can only extract data, we can extract it, transform and input it into another system.
