Well for starters we should see an uptake in remote work positions. Now that software companies have been forced to test it for 3 months... They hopefully won't go back to the old way of doing business.

Or companies that already did remote work have been able to continue to operate as close to normal as possible.

> His point is accurate if you include asians as a minority group.

No, it's not. Even if they were favored, one racial minority group being favored and others being disfavored doesn't balance out to “no racism”, it's even more racism than the latter being disfavored alone. And even if there is no evidence of racism in either direction affecting Asians, that doesn't negate racism affecting other groups.

At best it might be accurate of you only look at Asians.
For it to be a defacto grant instead of a loan I believe. Far softer in conditions essentially.
> Because the "frontend" might be a native application that can't be updated on the fly and would break when the query changes out from under it.

From my experience that would be an extremely naive decision to make: change the underlying behavior of an API endpoint with disregard for its impact on client apps.

Backwards compatibility and API versioning strategies can easily handle this kind of situation.

> Sure, but the goals that you have in common with your group are more likely to be achieved if members of your group strongly identify as members of that group.

That might be true, but so what? Keep your identity small. That doesn't say you shouldn't cooperate with people who don't keep their identities small. You can cooperate with people who strongly identify as members of a group without identifying as a member of that group yourself.

> Of course, it's certainly possible for groups that aren't really in the interest of the members of the group to form.

It's a property of groups that if they believe the group is beneficial, they'll make compromises to maintain the existence of the group. Each compromise takes them farther from their ideals, until they're no longer really serving their original goals. As a result, I would argue that all groups tend toward not really being in the interest of the members, unless careful measures are taken to prevent that.

investors who act conditionally on other investors are the worst

(but still are the majority so you have to account for them)

as you said pro-rata can't be after the fact. The company needs to know how much equity it is selling and can't allocate to new investors without knowing what the company has available
> Transport encryption and end-to-end encryption are not conflicting goals.

On that we agree. It's better to have both. Even if you already have end-to-end encryption for the content, transport encryption helps to avoid leaking metadata about who the message is being delivered to.

> I refuse to accept the defeatist view that "encrypted email cannot be made mandatory without breaking compatibility anyway".

Whether you accept it or not, if you reject unencrypted messages, or insist on only sending encrypted messages, then you aren't interoperable with today's email system. That's not a defeatist view, it's just being realistic. And as we've seen with GPG, if you don't insist on encrypting everything then encryption will not be used—or worse, it will be used inconsistently, as in the case of someone sending an unencrypted reply which quotes an encrypted message.

> I'm interested in protecting people who think that email should be safe in transit — the same expectation that postal services give them about their mail today — by seeing everyone who operates an email server enable transport encryption.

Plain email can be improved somewhat but it's still essentially the same as writing your message on a postcard. Transport encryption is akin to physical custody of the mail; it's useful but not sufficient. The only people who would see your postcard while it's in transit are postal workers, and yet people still use envelopes to keep their messages private from the people handling the mail. Transport encryption does nothing to help in that area and does not fulfill the expectations that people have in regard to postal mail, which are based in large part on legal codes and physical properties which do not apply to email. To get something similar to a message in an envelope the content must be encrypted end to end, not just at the transport layer.
It sounds like you are worried about a threat model (being identified by your government) that Signal is not designed to, nor attempts to address. There are some workarounds that may satisfy your needs, such as using a different phone number provided by Google Voice or Twilio.[0]

It may not be for you, but Signal does a very good job of solving the problems it does aim to solve for the millions of people who use it.

Show HN: taskdb – personal task tracker
I have to recommend https://shadow.tech!
It is a Windows VM intended specifically for (but not limited to) gaming!
And it works extremely well, I am playing games on it for ~ 2 years by using their client app on Linux.
I was a TaskWarrior user in 2016-2018, but then I decided to make a bold experiment and track my tasks in a PostgreSQL database instead. The results were good enough for me to stick with it and continually improve it. Today it's a lean yet powerful toolkit which I use via

- calendaring applications of my choice (courtesy of vdirsyncer),

- visual dashboards (courtesy of Grafana),

- spreadsheet-like visual editor of SQL table (cheers, OmniDB),

- Gantt charts (thanks MermaidJS),

- task decomposition charts (hi Graphviz),

- CLI utilities,

- direct SQL querying, which is to stay an essential user interface.

What it is: https://github.com/andrey-utkin/taskdb/wiki

Screenshots and how to launch demo container with the software and the demo datasets: https://github.com/andrey-utkin/taskdb/wiki/Live-demo

Why I started it, how I am going to run it and why I think it is a good idea:
https://github.com/andrey-utkin/taskdb/wiki/Goals,-motivatio...

I hope some of you will find it interesting, or even want to try to use it, or maybe use the same approach with other systems of their choice.

Sorry for the lack of documentation - up to now I am the only user of it and my workflows still evolve rapidly.

I would like to mention the recent "Show HN: Intention app" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22591311 which features not just tree-ish structure for your tasks, but directed acyclic graphs. I think this is a Very Good Thing for making sense of your activities. taskdb allows you to do DAGs (or semilattices, which I think is a more specific term), too, but this is not demonstrated in this demo. Stay tuned for next demo :)
Came here to say the same... broken on Firefox. Nice idea though.
This is a common misconception about health care. Most countries have a mix of private/public funding a mix of private/public run health care. Canada is almost all non-profit charity hospitals, but other OECD countries use for profit hospitals. For example:

>...The study, released Tuesday, compared the universal health-care systems of Australia, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland, and looked at the presence of for-profit hospitals and for-profit health-care insurers in each of these countries.
...
The study found that for-profit health-care insurers and for-profit hospitals are found in all six countries. This is in contrast to Canada, where similar for-profit insurance is not allowed, and where only a small number of private, for-profit hospitals exist.

I asked because the world of Brainstorm consisted of payphones too, and they did that 'telepathy' with headsets which could replay recorded experiences over that modem line.

Hard to classify that movie, at its time it was pure science-fiction, now it is a technothriller from the past. But very watchable, i think.
That's a self-assessment, right?
Because I never benefited from them.

And they are too niche (Pascal, LaTeX, XQuery), so I did not learn anything of relevance.

And all that programming has high opportunity costs and physical costs (back pain, worsening eyesight, vitamin D deficit).
You're right. Morality means nothing. Every man for himself.
Agreed. Freenode was (and should still be, IMHO) the go-to real-time chat for open source projects.

I didn't realize how important at the time it was being founded. Rob Levin was an online acquaintance, and one day he started asking about how to fund an open source community service with donations. I was interested in open source and non-profits, so he and I talked a bit about that, but I didn't volunteer to help. Next thing I knew, he'd started Freenode, and projects flocked to it.
Exactly, I was expecting an Apple-like experience so I was very disappointed in that sense. The hardware was great (for me at least), but the UX was just too annoying that it soured the overall experience.

I wish now that Apple would build an action camera.
Do you think any GraphQL api backed by a row based data store is a mistake and should be some kind of SQL api instead? The data could be represented either way so I don't really think it matters.
You can use the Zig compiler to compile C with no modifications, and easily call C from Zig or Zig from C, so I'm not sure what more you're hoping for. A language that allows you to mix standard C and "improved C" in the same file sounds like a mess to me.
The main problem with "just" REST IMO is that it's only specific at a general level - so things like how to deal with whatever related data should or shouldn't be included are kind of "left as an exercise for the implementer." If REST were basically the same but included some kind of universal specification for managing fields, resources, nested data, and relationships requested/returned, or even allowed a means of going single-endpoint for request reduction, the many variants and alternatives, whether GraphQL, JSON:API, or others, wouldn't exist to the same degree.
also while this may sound insensitive 0.1% of the population is not the same as X percent of old and sick people

it is not like the virus takes down everyone equally. The overwhelming majority of those affected are both old and fairly sick already.

Again I am not implying anything other than there is clear skew and the measures should target those that are at risk. It makes no sense to create generic, unworkable rules where we lock up all 20 year olds that have no risk whatsoever. It is not realistic.
Yes, but the original post talks about the `"phablet" standard `, in such a way as if there is no alternative. Apple doesn't make a tonne of concurrent iPhone designs like other manufacturers. One reason to choose Apple is to not have to choose the model, just get the latest (or in my case the oldest model that doesn't fall into a pile of shit running iOS). I've had areally nice small android phone, most of them sucked though, it will depend on the mfr and luck. I prefer apple overall because I'd trade choice for the 'just works'. I've never had a situation where I cannot dial on an iPhone, but in other-mfr land it seems quite common.

I did confuse you with someone else. lewisl9029 opened this question last time, you were further down thread, apologies.

Mostly I'm curious, just like you. You're curious "what happened to Atom development", I'm curious why people bring this question up over and over on unrelated GH threads when they already seem to know the answer–to wit: active feature development on Atom by Github/MSFT has stopped and will not resume.

I don't see the point of derailing threads/starting editor flame wars over this question, but I am frequently missing some crucial point. So I ask: What am I missing? What's the point of these "what about atom!!" questions when you know the answer already?
I think the meshes are what the LIDAR API provides to the application.
That sounds consistent - before the radioactive mutant black swan of Covid they would make the most sense to serve as lowest risk of robot mugging and would need less battery endurance which is expensive and when done wrong attracts headlines as your bots catch fire in the streets - regardless of who is at fault there is no way to not look incredibly incompetent when your product immolates like that.
It's not necessarily that it's dumb, there's a bit of battery physics and chemistry involved. If you look up EV charging curves for example [1], the first bit goes fast and the last bit slows down. A rough analogy I've heard is it's like blowing up a balloon -- as it gets bigger, there's more back-pressure so it gets harder to fill up the last bit. That's why the EV roadtrip strategy is "frequent fast-charging" -- you spend less time if you recharge from 10% to 60% twice instead of going from 10% to 100% once (also safer to take driver breaks).

If your phone never gets past 80%, it could be the battery just needs replacement. Batteries are consumables, and they do degrade after a year or two or three (depending on cycling, temperatures, use, etc). iOS has a battery health indicator giving you a rough estimate of the state... if the health is low, get a repair kit from ifixit and then it's a fun evening activity to open one of those puppies up and see just how tiny everything in there is!

You can do that using Stripe test environment and test cards without any fees. Refunds can take over a week to get processed by some banks, so testing on live data doesn't sound like a great idea. But even if you have to do a couple of live transactions I don't see how the cost of refunds could be significant.
Ugh, yeah that's the other strange effect. There's absolutely no sense of speed captured. Maybe due to lack of nearby reference points and no depth perception even though it's POV? The footage is positively boring.

It would be nice if I could keep my MacBook battery at a healthy level without having to drain it.

With the MacBook Pro 16 you can easily draw enough energy to drain your battery while using a 100W power adapter.

Dell addressed to this issue in their USB-C laptops by making and allowing 130W power adapters. Apple requires you to tap into your non-user-replaceable battery to supplant the power usage.

No, never even heard of it. There really are a bewildering number of options in this space!

I haven't actually tried stressing TimescaleDB, but I imagine it would hold up well if given 50GB of RAM to play with.

My point really though, is that TimescaleDB is a great fit for a lot of use cases, with basically no learning curve if you're already au fait with Postgres. And of course if you're already using Postgres elsewhere in your system, it's one less component to manage.

I have some industrial IoT use case in mind though, and I'll definitely look more into VictoriaMetrics, so thanks for the tip!

This can extend your battery a decent amount, and obviously would cut down on fan noise.
There's a confusion that I'm seeing repeatedly, which is important to get right:

Asymptomatic != Presymptomatic. If someone is asymptomatic at the moment you test them, that could be either because they will never develop symptoms, or it could mean that you tested them during the disease's incubation period. When talking about a patient at a particular moment in time when you tested them, both of these are referred to as being asymptomatic. When talking about the overall disease course, the former case is called asymptomatic and the latter is called presymptomatic.

As tests get better and less scarce, and contact tracing gets better, a larger fraction of cases will be tested when they are presymptomatic. When researchers do studies that screen a bunch of people, especially in populations where the obviously-symptomatic people have mostly already been moved elsewhere, they will find that most of their positives are asymptomatic (at the time of test), and unless they're doing follow-ups, they don't know whether they'll develop symptoms later.
Great work, this is exactly what my wife has been doing via Zoom and Youtube with her gym class.

They had been watching the live feed each morning alone and found a lack of motivation since they were used to working out together.

So there is a market for sure
The former only holds if you assume that a large majority of asymptomatic carriers never develop symptoms. It’s entirely likely that an asymptomatic positive test is a precursor to developing symptoms.

There's nothing wrong with letting users learn how hard disk marketers are ripping them off, instead of playing their game. But, as usual, Apple prefers to choose blissful ignorance for their sheep customers.

I agree with the strength training mentioned here, but I also found out I was sitting wrong. I always had my hips tilted too far forward, as if I was slightly slouching. Often made me hunch my upper back and my lower back would ache if I worked for too long.

I forget where I learned it, so unfortunately I can't provide professional guided advice, but I saw an article about sitting better and making sure your hips aren't too far forward or back. It took some getting used to as I had been sitting poorly for years. I needed time for certain things to stretch a bit so that it became natural, but now I've even had compliments on my posture while sitting.

Getting a split keyboard helped too. Being able to spread the two halves prevented my shoulders from pinching together in the front.

Yeah my first encounter with GraphQL was a client going "let's save development time by using graphql!" so I looked into it and it's more fucking work unless your stack has one of those auto-GraphQL-to-and-from-DB generators (they'd made a poor and somewhat obscure choice of DB for the project, over our advice, so there wasn't such a thing in this case anyway) and it happens to suit your needs very well—and even with the benefit of one of those I'd still lose sleep over security or DoS bugs lurking in that 3rd party code. Or in mine.

Well, this has been known for decades.

1) that the US has no policy on anything, whether it's infrastructure, healthcare, trade, rare earths, etc.

OTOH, China definitely has 5 year plans and Belt and Roads Initiatives.

Look who builds maglev trains and new airports.

To drive this point home, Bali, Indonesia has built 2 underpasses in the past 5 years. Both Mountain View and Palo Alto were quoted over $1 billion each to build identical underpasses on Central Ave. and can't afford it. The only word that comes to mind is "shameful."

2) in the corporate world, decisions come down to a single cell in an Excel. That's how you get software outsourcing, open office plans, etc. - the person ultimately calling the shots, the CFO, is a bean counter using a one-dimensional number.

A bit tangential, but it should be interesting to see how things go at one of the world's largest tech companies, now that a bean counter/process guy is at the top.

Yes. Current understanding of the mortality rate is that it’s roughly 10x more lethal than the flu across all age demographics. This means you might only have a 0.2% of dying as a 20 year old, but you only had a 0.02% chance of dying of the flu.

The caveat is that mortality rate is intimately tied with the availability of certain types of care; if you need a vent and the hospital is full, you die even if otherwise you would’ve lived. Thus case mortality rate will change dramatically once the hospitals fill up.
