Could Covid-19 Permanently Change Hand Hygiene?
Seems like a straightforward retread of U.S. v. Microsoft.

1. Can you delete Safari on iOS?

No, but the "App Store provides Apple’s users with access to third party apps, including web browsers."

2. Can you set a third-party browser as the default browser?

No.

3. How about for opening links in bundled apps?

No, see questions 1 and 2.

4. Okay, so can these third-party browsers include their own rendering engine?

No, because "Apple can provide security updates to all our users quickly and accurately, no matter which browser they decide to download from the App Store."

5. What if a third-party browser introduced better security/privacy features?

See question 4 and it's "not our experience that competing web browsers have typically offered enhanced privacy or security that would protect users as adequately as our WebKit protections."

6. What features does Apple cut off to third-party browsers?

* WebRTC
* Service Workers
* Intelligent Tracking Protection
* Fullscreen API

'Grooming' implies it's comparable to sexually coercing minors.
There's a difference between "don't always" and "unreasonable." It seems like if you can get a phone that performs as well as something that costs 2x as much, and the compromise is gaming near an outlet, or carrying an external battery, that's a choice some people would like to have.

And if it is the battery that's "unreasonable', then I wonder why the review sites don't just factor the cheating into their review by having a category like "battery life running PCMark" or something where they measure how long the phone will run the benchmark.

STEM programs seek to eradicate disciplines more associated with deep thinking: physics, mathematics, philosophy, history, literature, other arts, design, etc. STEM programs seek to entice people to become a software commodity. that's it.

I think, in a weird way, this is actually debatable.
The point people are making is that it's subtler than that. They don't need GA for a surveillance machine. They've already got one.

It's more valuable to them to be able to truthfully say they don't add GA data to it. Meanwhile offering GA for free chokes out that competitive avenue to anyone else.
Unfortunately the lessons learned here are from such a distant past that many people think they no longer apply. We'll be doomed to repeat these mistakes by people who tell us it will be different this time around.
Using Tailwind UI and Next.js Together
If you're looking for a Linux alternative, I've gotten a lot of use of https://flameshot.js.org/ (which I invoke with the print screen key). It "just works" and has a bunch of editing tools close at hand.
AWS offers a managed Postgres service, too: https://aws.amazon.com/rds/postgresql/

(I'm a fan of DynamoDB and think there are many good use cases for it. Just saying that the above comparison doesn't seem relevant here.)
bio undergrad so take w/grain of salt
1. No, because serum does not contain any cells that have the markers of a bloodtype. You're just transferring the antibodies pretty much. When you spin down a blood sample in a centrifuge, the bottom pellet contains blood cells, the supernatant is plasma. From that supernatant, when you get rid of clotting factors, the remainder is just soluble molecules and antibodies.
2. Maybe. Serum can also contain viruses, but I assume the serum will be treated with chemicals to "clean it up" and just isolate antibodies.
The python course is asking for a lot of personal information, for something free to do while we're all isolating.
National parks get visitors from across the country, with individual parks getting up to 15 million visitors. Beach and river access are similarly popular nationwide. However, people must both live near and own cattle to benifit from this subsidy limiting things to 18,000 permits nationwide for 155 million acres.

Charging market rates to parks thus has little upside for the general public as a large fraction visit parks, rivers etc. However, charging market rates for grazing is a net benefit to both the general public and ranchers outside the area.

Finally, cows are actively harming the ecosystem in that area so there is a multitude of hidden costs to these subsidies.

Yeah, I think datamining to steal and sell your LinkedIn account counts as dubious ethics. Or claiming to have E2E but actually they don't.

Stock is fungible. Domain names aren't. If I buy stock, as long as there continues to be sellers (and there will be for any functioning stock) you can buy stock too and the only effect my purchase can possibly have is, if I bought enough, it might affect the price you pay. If I buy a domain name, you cannot buy that same domain name too.

You've provided you're own reference for having "had enough of experts". For being sacked for questioning policy, look into the experience of Dr David Nutt. Sacked for questioning government drug policy. Or the Badger culls.

I think you've missed my point a bit with your quote: it's easy to get all the scientists to agree with your policy if you start sacking anyone who doesn't isn't it? And that's what the UK government (this one is particularly bad but other too) always do. Science is a justification for predecided policy. Science doesn't set policy.

And per the article, the government didn't even manage that. Boris was clearly warned 100k people would die. He got that in writing. His choice was to do nothing. But it's scientists' fault he ignored that. Even as he watched and laughed at other western nations both having massive issues and issuing their own isolation policies.

The truth here is that this is what happens when you behave this way. It's actually very childish to complain you were warned but it doesn't count because you were not warned enough...
> As a non-US citizen, I would like to see the US elect someone who want to end their constant wars.

But who and what follows after the US drop out and retreat? Just look at Kurdistan: the Kurds are being all but eradicated by Erdogan and Assad. Afghanistan is going to fall back to the Taliban Islamists. Iraq? Steering towards collapse. Libya is essentially fucked beyond repair. China is free to do whatever they want, same for Russia.

Human rights are only words on a paper when there is no one to back them against those who openly crap on said paper. I agree the EU should be stepping up to the voids that the US leaves, but unfortunately a chaotic power transfer is chaotic and will result in suffering and death.
A. You can design it in such a way so that sending a message to a non-user is indistinguishable from having a user see it and not reply/acknowledge it.

B. You can exchange identifiers with people whom you want to communicate it just like with any other non-phone-based system: "Hey I'm @username on signal", "Cool, I'm @username2" - composes well with method A.

You're not so much arguing that music shouldn't be capitalistic, but more capitalistic than it is today and also value (some?) musicians more.

People aren't paying for music (which has been noted is about as rare as air) but control over music. If you want the money (either through licensing, fee-for-performance, or patronage) you're going to give up your control to the person who is paying the piper. If you want to keep the control, you're probably going to have to give up doing it as a day job.

You can't produce non-alienated craft music like it was a pair of boots and expect people to want it anyway -- the entire value of music to others is in the alienation, the loss of control over the work ("playing to the crowd"), "supply and demand" isn't causing that and can't be reformed to change that.

If the audience is you, that's fine, but why should society value that over any other private activity that makes you privately happy? We should subsidize it as much as we subsidize rock-climbing, marijuana, binge-watching Seinfeld, etc.

Tell HN: Cisco WebEx on OS X uses the same pre-installer tricks as Zoom
I noticed while installing WebEx today that the installer immediately terminated itself after popping up the pre-installation script.

Running `strings` on the installation plugin (CWSPkgPlugin.bundle) shows why - it's using a similar process to what Zoom does [1]

Holy cow. And easy to do if you found their unsecured database.
Even if it had no way to communicate the lines to the local terminal, it could still load them and handle the scrollback itself, locally. I think that's what the eventual plan is, too.

But it wouldn't be exceptionally difficult to figure out some way to stuff lines into the scroll buffer. Especially if you got a mosh-aware terminal.

A good signal would probably be dithering as you mentioned above - either scrolling back and forth through sections or navigating through different components if you website has a paged layout.

Additionally, as a business, you want to make sure users are following a pretty predictable flow through some limited entry points (like homepage, FAQ, information bulletins) - then either to pricing and then additional information or additional information then pricing (then, ideally, a sale).

If a user is returning to the entry point (i.e. a flow like information bulletins > home page > FAQ > information bulletins) and that happens enough then you can assume that some information users want after the FAQ (maybe, ideally, you think the pricing) isn't being delivered to them and so they're returning to their entry point to see if they browsed the information incorrectly.

If you've got good stats on how far down on a page people are scrolling that could also be something helpful to detect the specific UI issue I mentioned in the post above.

Africa’s Economic Growth: 23 Positive Facts about the Richest Continent
1. It's not really hard to get right, it just takes a lot of trial and error. I.e. you essentially start with the default-src as 'self', and then create exceptions to other resources as you need them. You use the report-uri/report-to endpoints to get reports if either (a) you've neglected to open up a resource you need, or (b) you DO have a vulnerability that someone is trying to take advantage of. While this may sound like a bit of a pain, e.g. if you have multiple teams working on a website that all need to access their set of 3rd party endpoints, this pain is required for good security: it forces you to be explicit about the 3rd party endpoints you allow, instead of the browser just allowing any endpoint for things like script tags, imgs, etc. which is the default now.

2. Note what Chrome is rolling back is the SameSite default change. SameSite has existed for quite some time now, in all browsers, it's just that the default is currently 'None' in Chrome but is changing to 'Lax'. So you can still take advantage of this now, it's just Chrome is delaying changing the default so that it doesn't break sites who aren't prepared for the default change.

So my point is the tools currently available really tighten up the sandbox guarantees of the browser, and make it no more difficult than necessary to build a secure site.
Mitchell is well-known in the community for writing this In Memoriam for her past co-worker, Gervase Markham after he passed away:

https://blog.lizardwrangler.com/2018/08/07/in-memoriam-gerva...

> Gerv’s default approach was to see things in binary terms — yes or no, black or white, on or off, one or zero. Over the years I worked with him to moderate this trait so that he could better appreciate nuance and the many “gray” areas on complex topics. Gerv challenged me, infuriated me, impressed me, enraged me, surprised me. He developed a greater ability to work with ambiguity, which impressed me.

> Gerv’s faith did not have ambiguity at least none that I ever saw. Gerv was crisp. He had very precise views about marriage, sex, gender and related topics. He was adamant that his interpretation was correct, and that his interpretation should be encoded into law. These views made their way into the Mozilla environment. They have been traumatic and damaging, both to individuals and to Mozilla overall.

I'm an atheist, and "liberal" in case that matters. I was just really shocked by that whole thing - a manager of a large organization writing something like that publicly about a long-time worker who just passed away after a long battle with cancer. In my mind that post disqualifies her from managing people, period. This will be read by his immediate family eventually.

Selected quotes from that thread:

> She used the sandwich feedback technique for a eulogy - an interesting approach

Once you get comfortable modeling your data in Dynamo, it becomes hard to justify using RDBMS with all of the overhead that goes along with it. Dynamo is not for every use case, of course, but as long as you design the table generically enough to handle adjacency lists and you don't mind making more than 1 query sometimes, it works really well.

Dr. Keevil of Southhampton:

> “Cloth masks and poor quality surgical face masks will not filter fine respiratory droplets, and certainly not aerosols, which some are now claiming to be an infection risk,” he said. “The major question that needs to be addressed is: what about protecting the eyes, a known route of entry?.”

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

"People die while wearing seatbelts, therefore don't bother wearing one."

Even if you neglect to protect your eyes, a mask reduces your chances of infection. The eyes are in contact with the air, but do not inhale it. Moreover, let us compare surface area. The surface area of the eyes is tiny compared to that of the respiratory tract. If we include lungs, it is no contest: the internal surface area of the lungs is supposedly something like 20 to 60 m^2. A mask sets up a firewall protecting your 40 square meters of lung. If the mask reduces the probability of infection even by 50%, it's like cutting out half the square meters of exposure.

Various other kind of fallacies are circulating about masks some of which are roughly analogous to: "drivers should not wear seatbelts because seatbelts alone do not save lives. Safe driving prevents accidents and saves lives. Seatbelts create a false sense of security, encouraging unsafe driving habits like speeding. However, if you're a passenger, you may wear a seat belt as a personal preference."

From now on, I'm using seatbelt analogies to ridicule and expose the absurdity of anti-mask rhetoric.

I use mosh in tandem with tmux.

About say 10% of my reconnects would fail with mosh, and the session would be orphaned. But combining with tmux, even if I lost the mosh session I could make a new one and reattach to tmux.

My use case was iPad/iPhone remote working. (Usually while visiting in-laws or on a plane) Very intermittent connectivity.

I used the open source blink terminal for iOS (which I bought because it’s great). It can use mosh.

I ran into this a couple weeks ago getting my son set up for remote school. I ended up buying a 24” Dell monitor with a webcam, speakers, and mic built in. They are surprisingly few choices for monitors like this, but I’m really happy with the P2418HZm that I ordered. It was $280 on Amazon and took a week to get here. You can also use it to login with your face.

The other option I was looking at was just picking up a cheap chrome book with a camera built in.

no, don't know what kind of mess they made; the official login is via SSO (and works with <companyname>.zoom.us). to my understanding the account is typically created on login there (otherwise we would sync our whole list of employees with 100s of services...). and even if it was just a random invitation sent to an email they bought somewhere, it doesn't really explain how I could reset the password for my email then (without ever activating an account)?!
