I installed Snap on Debian 10 stable to install Firefox and Chromium as snaps. It allows me to get the latest security updates for these 2 software without entering into dependency hell with the OS. Beside the slow startups, which is not really an issue with those apps because I keep them open all the time, it worked flawlessly so far for me.

My only con is that the defaults update all snaps like every day, and I really would like to have better control on that, because I'm always on mobile data.
Oops. Edited, misread the last launch headline. Just Earth orbit, although still an important milestone for America to have shuttle capability again.
> if you were a black person with a given credit score, with a given salary, capital, etc, and you were less likely to get a loan than an Asian with exactly the same criteria,

This experiment has been done multiple times, and yes this is exactly what happens. In business loans, home loans, ...

See e.g. https://www.huduser.gov/publications/pdf/aotbe.pdf for paired tests comparing white/black and white/hispanic shoppers, done by HUD. I have seen similar tests in the past which asian shoppers, but you’ll have to search around a bit.
And can your solution do what studios want, namely process a 4K-video artifact free, when played back on a cinema screen? I doesn't look like that tbh if I watch the second video ("Ours real" is your work?).

And yeah, it requires constrained setup and a lot of additional work, because even before you "subtract" the background you have to think about lighting (your demo video might have very nice background matting, but the lighting is off, so it's relatively useless except for toy applications (which there are a lot).

Also: did you compare somewhere withe the very basic fixed-exposure method? Beause for fixed exposure, background and camera placement I suppose this should work just as well... Still I think this is a really cool project, I didn't get disappointed like with the last link of that sort, where someone tried the same with horrible artifacting.
This does look like an interesting step forward however I’ve found the biggest limitations of previous techniques to be

- people who are using occupying a wider z-axis (for example leaning forwards in the camera or who have arms in front of them)

- people holding objects like cups

How well do your method handle those kind of situations?
OK, but what are you detecting? Antibodies? Viral proteins? RNA? The messages from Paul and your team have been contradictory. The message is confusing, and this makes people skeptical. It would be great if you could clarify the detection strategy.
How did they know you are Asian? Could you have just checked a different box and got in, at least to state schools which don't do interviews?

(I am in no way suggesting that it's right to make people misrepresent their ethnicity to get fair treatment.)
‘However with the development of antibiotics, UBI use declined and it has now been called “the cure that time forgot”.‘

It says antibiotics. Is it me or UBI was used to treat bacterial infections or the OP is desperately correlating this study with the “effectiveness” of testing viruses with UBI? I feel like a lot of partisan users are getting the boot from Reddit and they are channeling out their frustrations here. Guys let’s keep HN pure with tech only posts.
Part of the point being made was that British English did not. People put about the myth that this was a British/American thing, when it really was not. It's a French/Greek thing. British English incorporates both.
Currently, there isn't any perfect TTS system that almost sounds like a human and if you are looking for good TTS services then neural voices from Google, IBM, and Amazon might be promising since they are trained on recent DeepLearning technologies.

Thanks for letting me know. It looks like the telemetry (kuserfeedback) isn’t even a dep of the Gentoo plasma-meta metapackage, so I don’t think it was even built on my system (but will double check when not on mobile).

If I dabble with debian or kubuntu I will make sure to mitigate it, thank you for making it known, keep up this kind of good work!

It’s a real shame that they found it necessary to even build a telemetry client. I switched to free software after years on macOS (I remember upgrading to System 7) because of all the phone-home that Catalina STILL does even with iCloud, Siri, analytics/crashes, Screen Time, iMessage/FaceTime, Location Services, ntp, App Store, and software update all disabled.

iOS apps in the App Store are all allowed to phone-home like mad, too, and Apple permits this on the basis of you “opting in” to it in the App Store TOS, as if we have any sort of choice on iPhones. It’s totally endemic, and entirely undermines the credibility of Apple’s claims to caring about user privacy.

Seems like spying on users is getting heavily normalized these days. :(
You do start to get a false feeling of invincibility after being validated so much in your actual field (even if it is largely due to being in the right place at the right time). Most one-hit wonders who manage to hit a homerun in the Valley with their web app who then end up trying to solve world hunger, etc. afterwards fail. I do have to hand it to Gates though (but he isn't a one-hit wonder).

How about English? This is just programed as:

> Puppy is an app

OK, you run 'Puppy'. It doesn't do anything.

> RandomHost is 'https://dog.ceo/api/breeds/image/random'

OK, 'RandomHost' is a constant, looks like a URL

> Get an image from RandomHost

OK, I think you meant Set Message to Read RandomHost retreiving UUENCODE.

> No. Get an image using json

Not the previous thing. I think you meant Set Message to Read RandomHost retrieving JSON, field Message.

> Get Image at Message

OK. I think you meant Read the URL Message and retrieve an image file

> Show the Image

OK. Displaying the Image on the screen

> Add Repeat Button

OK. Displaying a button named 'Repeat'

> App is While on Repeat, do the Display.

OK. App is set. Do display, Wait for Repeat button, Loop

> Puppy?

Puppy is an application:

Repeat

RandomHost = 'https://dog.ceo/api/breeds/image/random'

Message = fetch(RandomHost, JSON)."message"

anImage = fetch(Message, DATA).ensure(IMAGE_TYPE)

Display.reset(Items [

])

ClientSideWait Repeat.onPress

Also quit coffee to switch exclusively to green tea. I was just getting too much anxiety. I definitely feel much calmer without coffee. In general for I think I was a great move, I work a little less, but when I work it tends to be on more relevant things.

I'll typically have one cup of coffee one day on the weekend, especially if I'm going to do something to burn the energy (hiking/biking).

If all you're looking for is the ability to get the upstream updates immediately, you can also just download the tarball version and unpack it somewhere under your home directory. Then dump a .desktop file for each in ~/.local/share/applications/ so it shows up in your app menu.

No startup slowness, and you'll still get the vendor-provided updates as they're released.

This is true, but unfortunately most breweries still dont give a bottled/canned on date, so it can be difficult to figure this out (unless there's some secret I'm unaware of). There's at least a couple beers I buy regularly that are great within a month or so, but will be pretty nasty after being on the shelves after a few months.

The only reasonably reliable way I've found to get around this is to buy refrigerated whenever possible, and to look for "what wasnt here last week". Or buy from one of the handful of breweries that does print dates.

I think the combination of complexity and obscurity of those two links reinforces my point more than it refutes it. There's a reason why basically no one gets this stuff 100% right, including some of Microsoft's own first-party applications.
> Last I read, if Ivy Leagues were unaware of any racial identifiers, and simply had the objective criteria of SAT scores, GPA, extra-curricular achievements, Asians would make up 40% of their universities.

Of course. Because academic achievement is highly valued in Asian cultures. I suspect that the situation for Jews is similar, for the same reason.

So sure, universities could just ignore "race" entirely. But then historically disadvantaged groups would be underrepresented. And that would perpetuate the disadvantaged status for those groups.

So how would that be just?

Arguably it's fairest to weight acceptance criteria to admit students in proportion to their groups' population share. And yes, I agree that it sucks if you're Asian, Jewish, or whatever other groups are affected.

And I also get that it's gameable. Someone who's part Asian or Jewish, and part (even a little) Black, would identify as Black. Applicants might even use DNA test data.

Hey, it's a game about nothing.
Hardware being proprietary doesn’t diminish the value of stealing code. In fact, there is much to be gained regardless of specific hardware, even if the code was super hardware dependent. And besides, what’s to stop them from developing similar hardware in the end? The point isn’t to just blindly run the code on their hardware, it’s to reverse engineer it.

There’s also much more to a neural net than just the training of it. Its methods and architecture can be re-applied to different situations, regardless of what a stop sign or roads look like.

In the same vein, iPhones use a different chipset than android phones but stealing Apple code and taking it to Google would still be of benefit.

You may get a negative result if you’ve only had the coronavirus a short time. And it’s possible to get exposed and not develop antibodies. You may also get a “false positive” i.e. you have antibodies but had a different kind of virus e.g Hepatatis-B

It’s already too late at this point. Anybody on your machine can read the commands you are running, for example with ps. You should instinctively avoid entering anything in plaintext into a terminal which you don’t want other people to see. Any command line tool worth its salt will provide alternative ways of passing secrets (using configuration files for example).

The rockets are isolated from groups of people, cars are all around us. Its not an equivalent comparison. I work for a car company, and all I can say is safety is the #1 concern at all times and it costs a lot of money and takes a lot of time.

I think cars are kinda 'done' from a 'cool' feature perspective, because really how much fun can a car be at a low price point (so not talking about sports or luxury cars)? There are lots of safety features that are probably gonna become standard over time, such as the Corvette rear view mirror actually having the option to be a screen attached to a camera on the back. Driver assist is also going to become more prevelant
It’s a reason enough to be skeptical. How often have you read on here someone saying “can’t you just do x y and z” to a problem that is grossly more complex than the commenter initially appreciates?

A better stance would be to take such pitches as an interesting take but one which still requires peer review.

Edit: Remember when Musk tried to pitch a submarine to save those children stuck in a Thai cave and how local divers have to point out the passage ways were too narrow for even Musks child size sub?

> To say that "if you take a black man and an Asian man and control for everything but race, the Asian man will be more disadvantaged in pursuing things that matter" is built on the massive assumption that these things are equally accessible

The premise of his thought experiment is that things are not equally accessible so we must set all things equal except race in order to measure its effect in isolation.
So using them as an example to disprove the idea that there is discrimination against black people, is again, not really relevant

This would be true only if you were able to tell at a glance which black people are descendants of slaves and which are more recent arrivals. Do you claim to have this ability? Do you claim that this ability is widespread enough to be representative?
My name is a dead giveaway that it is foreign.
This sort of thing long pre-dates spell checkers, as other have pointed out. Here's an older example for you. The word "alright" existed fairly quietly and unobtrusively in the English language for decades, as a formation similar to "altogether" and "always", until Fowler and other authorities got hold of it after World War 1 and demonized it.

You won’t be able to scale your solution before a vaccine is out, rendering your entire solution useless unfortunately.

Johnson and Johnson have already started scaling their vaccine and plan to have 1 billion doses available by January 2021. If their vaccine is approved, it will be an instant solution and better than testing everyone every day.

Moderna has also started the process of scaling their solution as well but J&J have a head start and a known platform.

Why limit it to them? Without the Internet, there would have been no X.com, no PayPal, no billion dollar paycheck. If "funding" a large project is the equivalent of "being a scientific genius", I think we'll add a lot of geniuses to the books, and we should probably include every government official that makes decisions about funding large projects.

And really ... who deserves more credit for putting a man on the moon than Karl Marx? Without Marx no communism, without communism no Soviet Union, without SU no American fear of losing dominance, and without that no ambitious and well-funded space program.
The post is commenting on the pricing calculator; if AWS's pricing varies month-on-month for the same usage then there is no way a calculator for it can be accurate even with the caveat that it's "only an estimate." An estimate that's out by 50% is effectively useless.
I like this idea in general (I have an Android app that does the same thing as your page, except it uses draggable sliders).

Here are some things I believe you could improve about the implementation:

- There's no explanation behind the math of weighing that's done. "these scores were calculated based on your ratings for each choice and the weight you gave to each factor" isn't an explanation. "(e.g., "super important" has a weight of 4 and "not that important" has a weight of 1)" doesn't tell me why my choice of one "super important" and one "not that important" gives me the score of 14. Not knowing the math you're doing makes me not trust the result. I mean, I suspect you're doing "sum of factors multiplied by weights", but a non-math-savvy person may take a while to figure where the numbers come from.

- Too many pages. I know you're aiming for dead simple (technically) UI, but I think it would be better if I could enter choices and factors on the same page.

- I'd consider changing the factor score UI from:

- ( ) 4 (best)
- ( ) 3
- (x) 2
- ( ) 1 (worst)

into something inline, like:

4 - best: ( ) ( ) (x) ( ) :1 - worst

People are used into this into (that's how you rate stuff on most pages on the Internet), and it will cut your use of vertical space by at least a factor of 4, and also make it more readable - with this, it would be easier to compare between factors and across options.

--

Quite honestly, a perfect incarnation of this idea to me would be a spreadsheet. This problem domain naturally fits into a shape like this:

What should I eat tonight?

| Option x Factor | Effort | Taste | Biosafety || SCORE |
| Factor weitht | 2 | 3 | 4 || |
|-------------------|--- ----|-------|-----------||-------|
| Turkey sandwich | 3 | 2 | 3 || 24 |
| Pizza (delivery) | 4 | 4 | 1 || 24 |
| Pizza (homemade) | 1 | 2 | 4 || 27 |
| Chicken soup | 2 | 3 | 4 || 29 | < PICK ME

A spreadsheet interface would make this tool much more convenient, and offers plenty of opportunities for futzing with UI (color coding, sliders for input, whatnot).

Something I think you should consider for version 2.0 or as an alternative to test out. Hell, I think I'll make myself one in Excel right now.
