I’m worried about both. The moral majority was invented from whole cloth by wealthy individuals usually affiliated with large companies. It’s a farce that benefits corporations and their owners and lends them political support for their economic actions that does not logically follow.

I am not arguing anything, and would never say anything that ridiculous.

I just find it tedious and irrational to see people up in arms about this contrived and unlikely scenario (a video game company is going to spy on you - a random nobody - for a big bad foreign power), while not being up in arms about the much bigger and more likely vectors of compromise they are exposed to constantly (like your operating system or cell phone).

But of course protecting yourself from those possibilities would require real sacrifice and inconvenience, so let's not talk about it.
I have no clue how I've never heard of this - this is really cool and there should be more stuff like it. We should not be in a world where 70s era bureaucratic committees liks iana and icann get to define the internet
Ask HN: How did you build the lifestyle you wanted?
I’m a junior in college (in the US) majoring in computer science & math, and this pandemic has given me time to think more about what kind of lifestyle I want to live once I’m completely established (hopefully by 28 or 30).

I realized I want work that is location-independent. I also realized that I want to have an active lifestyle that involves running, hiking, swimming, and working out at the gym frequently. Additionally — and this is the most idealistic — I want the ability to work for ~6 months of the year to support myself for the rest of the year. I’d use the other 6 months to travel, focus solely on personal projects, and volunteer my time/skills to help organizations that need it. With respect to income, I don’t want to be insanely rich, but I want to be comfortable enough to go out to eat occasionally and afford valuable experiences. I want a small and cozy house (I like the idea of a tiny home honestly). I’d like this home to be on the outskirts of a city and/or near some natural areas with lots of trees and trails. I don’t currently want a family, but I’m open to change if I find someone I like and vice versa.

For those of you who’ve managed to do something like this (or whatever your dream lifestyle was), how did you manage to do it? Entrepreneurship? Working in a high-paying field and/or saving aggressively? Something else?

I used to think I wanted to be an entrepreneur of the startup variety, but I realized I really saw that as a means to an end to get to the lifestyle I described above, so I’m curious to see what other, non-startup $$$$ exit ways there might be to do this.
Plenty of online kindness exists, but it’s usually paid for. The prototypical example is female streamer and simp. Or the NSFW version of that. Parasocial relationships are typically kind in nature.
Why is it tied to time, instead of deliverables? I mean, if I work extra hard to get the days work done in 4 hours, why can’t I leave early compared to a co-worker who is working less focused and more slowly?

I get that it’s not easy to set good milestones, and to keep it fair in terms of making sure everyone has approximately equal work, but I feel the same problems exist with required work “time” especially since it doesn’t encourage working more efficiently, effectively or smarter, because you gotta get those 8 hours in regardless.

Unless they’re contractors/consultants who bill by the hour, of course.
I'm working on a product that logs everything you do on your computer super accurately, but when it comes down to submitting those activities the user can (actually often really needs to) clean them up first.

The raw logged data doesn't leave the computer, the boss or client gets a version that might or might not be an accurate reflection of what the worker did.

The most important thing is that you're able to "remember" what you did two weeks back, how much time you spent on it and for what project. Because that takes a lot of time and is always very inaccurate if you need to do it from memory.

There is no way I want the end user to feel spied on by the tool, that would totally kill the acceptation in the market.

I agree off topic is a possible explanation... however... The link is to one of the sources for the video and the article.

I did submit it as a separate link and it's got no traction.

My concern is this... there is a lot of fake news... like the 5G tower theory which is absurd. But there are also legit people out there trying to figure out this problem. They are being dumped into the same bucket... by well meaning social media moderators.

I suspected it was downvoted because people think they're doing the right thing... stopping the spread of wild theories or disinformation.
Obesity in the United States:

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

"The obesity rate has steadily increased since the initial 1962 recording of 23%. By 2019, figures from the CDC found that more than one-third (36.5%) of U.S. adults[5] and 17% of children were obese.[6] A second study from the National Center for Health Statistics at the CDC showed that 39.6% of U.S. adults were obese as of 2015-2016 (37.9% for men and 41.1% for women).[7]"
Google has made the statistics query-able. Google “Covid NYC deaths,” etc. and they graph it for you in the search results.

We are at about 8800 COVID deaths for all of NYC (this includes the city boroughs) so out of a total population of about 8.5 million. We will have a more accurate population after this year’s census.

Public transit appears to be a big spreader with outbreaks tracking closely to subway stops. Unfortunately we keep it going because it is essential some people couldn’t get food without subway access. This is also probably why suburban America has a far lower number of cases, outside of nursing homes.

Even in states like NJ all the counties in trouble have rail lines to and from NYC and are densely populated.
In that case can't you just install it on a tiny vm on a server?
Yep!

When they say "workers' computers" do they mean company-owned machines issued to staff to do their jobs or personally-owned machines that people use for work?

If it's the first, as ugly as it is, it makes sense. Don't do anything on a work computer that you don't want your boss, their boss, and the corp IT/lawyers to know about.

If it's the second, that's wholly unacceptable and ridiculous. I refuse to install company-anything on personal devices with the exception of a push-app for MFA on my phone. Everything else, forget it.
Disagreed. I have a MBP, a Linux desktop and a Thinkpad running both Linux and Windows. My one subscription to a Jetbrains product covers all of them provided I don't run the program at the same time across multiple machines.

Believing that most engineers only have one computer IMO seems out of touch with reality.
Another anecdote - my cat was 100% indoor first 6-8 month I had him. Then I started to let him outside during day and he started immediately to try to hunt. His first attempts were hilarious, like trying to hide just by laying down and flap around with his tail from excitement, birds would look funny at him and just casually jump away if he got too close. He also wore a bell all of the time, which made it even more impossible. But after half a year he started to consistently kill 1-3 animals per season, birds and mice. One time he killed a huge pigeon. And thats only the kills I know of, since he brought them back home to show off. Not saying that can account for billions, but thats just one cat who had everything against him and also was well fed at home.

This is referenced during the pandemic, so most likely personal computers.

Any serious investigation of stress and how to cope with it will lead to a conversation about activities that energize you, and activities that soothe. Pairing these with stressful events (especially ones you can schedule) can take the edge off. Self-soothing becomes problematic when it is unacknowledged and thus unregulated. Like binging on whatever ice cream is in the frigde after a hard day at work or a difficult conversation with your partner, versus having a little of your favorite ice cream as a reward for making a difficult call to a relative or going to that appointment you've been putting off.

Scrum has been so co-opted by management that it tries to disallow any sort of self-soothing on a project. I am forever having to misrepresent the importance of work that I 'needed' to do that perhaps not everyone else sees the wisdom of. Either hiding it entirely or overselling it. Because if I have to deal with the consequences (including dealing with other people who are affected) of this goddamned piece of code any longer I'm going to quit, and what will happen to your precious schedules then?

"Refactoring" 1st Ed is, through this lens, formalized self-care represented as philosophy instead of psychology. For many of us it feels good (or at least, not doing it feels awful) but we can't say that, so we make it about ethics.

There was a videotaped interview with Joel Spolsky a ways back, and I couldn't tell you a thing about what he was being interviewed about except for his answer to the warmup question, which was delivered half jokingly, about how over time his job has changed to psychotherapist, and that his bookshelf has slowly converted to a few technical books and a lot of psychology books. Of course we cannot be serious about such things, so he had to joke about it.
Or just play a full screen slide show of various spreadsheets and documents. Will they really study the screenshots that closely to see the repetition?
This is a review and as they usually do they excluded all the convenient research and data. So we'd need to look at every paper taken into account for this review and look at it separately.

On the other hand you can take a look at one of these. There is a whole range of issues here: lack of immunity after vaccination, shedding (infecting other people after vaccinations), adverse affects. And it's just a small sample of studies, there is a lot more out there.

Death rate in care homes is normally 2,400 a week. W/e 3rd of april was 3,769.

Same at home.

W/e 3rd april had no change in death rates for people upto the age of 45

45-50 was 34% higher

50-65 about 40% higher

65-85 about 50% higher

Then drops back down over 85

Based on life expectency from https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthan... at each given age, about 60,000 excess years were removed week ending april 3rd. That's likely twice as much the next week.

>Results were mixed from TSMC first quarter 2020 financial results. Amid pandemic, the company saw net revenue of $10.31 billion

Mixed? I am not sure how this is mixed considering we knew Consumer Electronics and Smartphone sales dropped by ~30%. That is the largest market in terms of unit volume. And yet HPC managed to pick up all of that. I think this could be a mixed of Amazon Graviton 2 and AMD's EPYC, along with other GPGPU usage.

7nm is ramping extremely well in all of its variants. 5nm is on schedule, and despite the constant absurd rumours about TSMC's 3nm is behind schedule, TSMC remain optimistic they will deliver on time in 2H21, that is basically when Apple ships iPhone 13.

And there is nothing new, TSMC has stated N3 wont be using GAA for nearly 2 quarters now, and the news and press still refuse to read any investor notes and comment. Which is annoying as I am not sure what intentions they have when publishing false claim. ( Not WikiChip they are doing a brilliant job in most parts)

To me this quarter was much better than expected. And HPC remains an exciting opportunities. I only wish TSMC will also put more effort into its other non leading edge node like 28nm . Which seems to be getting competition from everywhere like SMIC, GF and UMC.

I walk my two cats every morning, neither use a leash.

They’re even trained to return to the front door when I say “Haus”.

the conclusion that EBITDA == “bullshit earnings” is overblown, or a feint at worst.

EBITDA lets you look at the operational performance of a business in isolation. that is, before financial considerations, where lots of little levers like tax shifting & accelerated depreciation can cook the numbers too.

if you're skeptical about one number on an income statement, you might as well be skeptical of them all (and for most public businesses, you should be skeptical).

edit: should note that "adjusted" anything on a financial statement should tingle the spidey senses.
There are similar efforts to reduce wild dog populations in Australia, which Vice has also covered[1].

One thing that stuck with me after watching both videos is that Youtube posts a content warning on the video showing dogs being hunted, but not the feral cat equivalent.

From a conservation perspective, I'm skeptical that hunting dogs and cats with traps and rifles will have much of an impact on Australian wildlife.

>fat-shaming (or in a non-western culture - you'd probably just call it motivating people you care about to take care of themselves)

"Fat-shaming", as it is normally understood, means telling someone they are a pile of lard / look disgusting / etc, which is hardly "motivating people you care to care about themselves.

>It's part of the culture to feel shame for letting the group down and to shame others for letting the group down and all of that is taught culturally from the day you're born.

This has its downsides. I'm all for a healthy balance between the conflicting sides of individualism/communality. This seems a tad unbalanced to the latter (just as American culture is far too unbalanced to the former).

>Western individualism motivates people to feel fine being ostracized.

Since Western culture has ostracised (or tortured, imprisoned, killed) people for the silliest reasons, that may not be such a bad thing.

Allow me to contribute another experience. At various times, I've lived alongside twelve different pet cats, owned by family members who were also avid birdwatchers; usually, the garden would be crowded with birds at the feeders.

In terms of individuals among the cats, I guess about half have tried to stalk and catch the birds, and of those probably about half were effective. But in terms of impact, that seemingly small quarter punched above their weight to be a total menace. Carcasses of the birds and other animals (even rabbits!) would keep showing up until they were stopped with a bell collar. If left to their own devices, I don't have trouble imagining they'd put a huge dent in the local ecosystem.

Amid Pandemic, Hong Kong Arrests Major Pro-Democracy Figures
I'd love to know where you got those statistics. I couldn't find anything on country mortality rates for COVID-19 ICU patients. However, since the US obesity rate is way higher than Sweden, it is surprising that the COVID-19 death rate in the US is around five percent, while it is around ten percent for Sweden. Of course, Sweden has decided not to impose a lockdown, so I have no idea how much that might be overwhelming their hosipitals.

https://bnonews.com/index.php/2020/04/the-latest-coronavirus...
That's not total deaths registered, that's just deaths that are released as covid related.

In the UK all deaths must be registered with the date of death. Normally we expect X deaths per week, we're seeing far more excess deaths than covid deaths in homes and care homes.

Two possibilities

1) Non covid deaths are happening at home rather than hospital because people aren't being taken to hospital. I'm sure this is happening in some cases (people being frightened of going to hospital when they have tell-tale signs of strokes etc), but if it was happening a lot then non-covid deaths in hospitals would be down. They aren't.

2) Much more likely, people are dying at home/care home frmo covid but it's not being reported on the death certificate because they haven't been tested for covid.
Respect to your actions. Valuable lesson to others. You should put it somewhere online as part of sane remote work guide.
Striving for a single return (without going out of your way to achieve it) is good practice.

There are two main advantages:

- it's obvious when the function ends, no hidden early exits in the middle of nowhere

- if you need to do something before returning, there is only one place to do it (e.g. trim the output, e.g. log performances), and it make it easier to move this kind of last mile logic to a different function (if it's of any interest)
