I think it's quite clear. These threads mostly involve people acting like they're better drivers than they are and claiming behaviour they do not practise. Then they'll come here and act a bit sanctimonious "Why didn't the X just do Y? I always do Y". It's just the Wobegon Effect in action.

I don't read it charitably because of the sanctimony involved in not reading an accident situation with the Understanding Human Error strategy, thereby leading to a bunch of low-quality comments about how people should just be better, involving poor understanding of public health and traffic engineering principles.

It's true, I probably shouldn't engage when the nth accident analysis by a HNer is "Why didn't the pilot just not crash into the mountain? When I see a mountain I just avoid crashing into it". No one is likely to get anything from that.
that's about as logical as 'haha you are ranting against capitalism but you are posting from your iphone!'. twitter, facebook, etc. are what we have now; they're where people are reading, and they are where the writer needs to share their work if they want it widely disseminated. that does not mean they are happy with the current state of affairs or that they would not like to see them replaced with a more open-web-based ecosystem.
Facts are facts, and if somebody publishes an article spreading falsehoods, the discussion of those points should begin and end with "yeah, that's wrong, please get your story straight".
I really wish this was better understood about consumer brand capitalism. These companies would have massive loss in value if they did not preserve privacy.

I am reminded of when an airline roughly pulled a doctor off a plane -- the company lost billions in market value. They won't make that mistake again. That's moral capitalism at it's best. If it had been a government owned service, I don't think there would be such a powerful feedback cycle.

Similarly, because Google would lose billions if they didn't care for my data, I trust them more than gov't.

Note that this only works for consumer brand capitalism -- it didn't work with Equifax.
This is really cool, and certainly a solid example of why the legislation is moronic. However, isn't this a violation of DMCA's (and similar legislation worldwide) "software lock" circumvention laws?

> It's not pretty, but this is probably the first time anyone's been able to use Plasma at all in the better part of a decade. It seems that Wollay removed a critical UI file (for the sheet which artwork exists on) from Plasma, and made it so that the server would provide an obfuscated version of it to the client. That way, no amount of tampering could get an unauthorized copy of Plasma to work. Unfortunately, without the authentication server, authorized copies of Plasma cannot work anyway.

Around this time, I started looking at what the picroma.de domain used to point to. I didn't find much of interest on archive.org, but...

The domain was now available after all these years, and I bought it.

To clarify, none of the reverse engineering stuff is the issue. However, when your start reimplementing or circumventing "authorization", then you're potentially in some trouble. Worse, it's not civil, like copyright infringement, whereby the IP owner has to go after you. It's criminal, so technically law enforcement themselves can go after you.

In this case it seems unlikely, still though, be careful, folks.
It would mean the overshoot would likely go close to 100%, but it is complex to model as not everyone is equally likely to be infected - basically the population is not uniform. Epidemiologist do model this, but it requires relatively complex models.

Crash cows: “There were often significant food shortages in the Soviet Union, and the government plan was to mix the meat from Chernobyl-area cattle with the uncontaminated meat from the rest of the country. This would lower the average radiation levels of the meat without wasting valuable resources.”

There is some sense to that: low levels of radiation are not a cancer risk last I read - everything we eat is slightly radioactive. That said, I can’t think how significantly radioactive cows could be “diluted“ enough.
I've used one of the Lilygo Eink boards (this one I think: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32869729970.html). Their documentation (https://github.com/lewisxhe/TTGO-EPaper-Series) is marginally better than most Aliexpress sellers (still not great, and blatantly wrong for some things like the width of the JST battery connector).

There is a little driver funkiness with some of the boards and I've actually experienced something that looks similar to burn-in on mine, but the price is right and the form factor is great as long as the 2-3 inch screens are big enough for you.

Which is where he’s being somewhat naive. There are three points in which a network can be surveilled and censored:

1. Retail ISPs
2. Physical backbone/infrastructure providers
3. service & content providers (Facebook, Netflix, twitter etc)

We’ve seen centralization across all three areas as the market demand has outstripped our ability to supply open access standards in any given area. You’d need government-supported decentralization of all three areas to make it harder to censor or surveil, which is in no government’s interest.

The Great Firewall of China allows proliferation of #1 and #3 but provides mass surveillance and censorship via #2. As an aside, It’s really funny to interact with Chinese servers, I deployed a virtual host web server once via wildcard DNS, and it was like rolling the dice for any given dynamic hostname if the firewall decided that hostname needed to be censored or not, regardless of the content being the same.

Snowden also showed that the USA also does mass surveillance (just not censorship) via the network.

The only approach to discourage mass censorship and surveillance is extreme decentralization enforced by law: open access networks, widespread end to end cryptography, and a renewed investment in web architecture and technology to incentivize open activities. IMO the technological and usability failure of Tim Bernard Lee’s Semantic Web drive has been the root of the rise of the Facebooks of the world.
S&P 500 is a Capitalization-Weighted Index meaning the larger companies make up much more of a percentage of the index. And in this environment companies that are large with lots of cash are in a super good position and people are fleeing to them for safety. So their prices rise (a lot in some cases... see Amazon) and so the S&P 500 goes back up a lot. It is worth noting it’s still down like 400 points for the year though.

Two comments. One, saying something that is 300% larger than another is “similar” is stretching the definition of similarity. Two, both the numerator and the denominator matter in the death rate. In a given year, maybe 20% of the population get the seasonal flu. We could potentially see 80+% of the population contract covid. That’s another 4x multiplier of fatalities, but also hospitalizations.
Meanwhile I'm trying to get my "first" job as SE or backend/fullstack web developer.

The quarantines in place have resulted in far fewer cancer screenings and treatments, which will "literally result in more deaths". Can't we have an honest debate without censorship instead of accusing any dissent as "FUD"?

The mortality rates you quote are for the case when the number of cases is low and the hospital system is working.
To see what happens otherwise look at Madrid, look at the UK aiming to "protect the NHS". If you had unlimited hospital capacities your analysis would make sense, but that is the whole point(!). If you can flatten the curve, then covid is manageable, if you can't your hospital system collapses and suddenly everything not just covid is much more deadly.
No worries - it was clearly just a typo :-)

I think the author means that he loves the unfair markets which benefited him personally. I don't think I've ever seen such a thing as a free market.

We have a few large stock exchanges in each country which dominate our entire economy and dictate which company can or can't be listed. How is this a free market?

More proof that the so-called crisis is actually just a communist power consolidation.
I feel like if this is an issue, there's a larger issue in the team. I've only ever witnessed language be an important issue if people felt overwhelmed, stressed and treated badly. On the other hand, when people feel treated fairly and are happy, most don't care for niceties and prefer straight to the point communication.

Especially rewording change requests as questions is something I don't like. Is this something that should be done? Is it just a question about the technical possibility? A request for comments about the intended change? (I've seen them all and the more friendly they are worded, the harder they are to tell apart)

In every company in the US where I ever worked, my contract explicitly stated that all communications from company-provided devices belong to the company. I very much see the point. For private communication, use your own device and a guest network, a setup also seen everywhere. I haven't seen a BYOD setup that would allow whatever you please on the corp network. Did you? What industry it was? Genuinely curious; I believe a lot of things exist that I'm not aware of.

> isn't HTTP content makes the whole monitoring crap easier?

Not really. HTTPS remains encrypted where servers reject a downgrade, but an intruder can potentially force a downgrade in something misconfigured and snoop something important without having the root key.

I suspect that switching off some of the endless lights in offices when sunlight more than suffices would have a seriously larger energy-saving impact.

> multiple factories around the world

They'll also need not economically stressed out customers around the world, which right now isn't really happening. If the low oil-prices won't halt the electric cars industry then the fact that they still have comparatively high prices will most certainly will.

A few months ago I was saying that the industry needs cars worth 25,000-30,000 euros/dollars in order to really take off, i.e. that it needs its mass-produced electric Honda Civcs and VW Golfs, with this depression-like crisis that is about to commence I'd say that it needs its Mitsubishi Colts/Mirages, Dacia Sanderos or Nissan Versas, i.e. electric cars that will cost at most 10,000-12,000 euros/dollars.

I have yet to find a directionally-lockdown-lessening argument from an epidemiologist. Are you aware of any? This and David Katz are the closest things I've read.

It seems to me these are big questions that necessitate a healthy debate considering all the pros and cons of lockdown measures. There's a lot of moving parts and dimensions: time, which activities should be resumed or kept closed, who should observe what protective measures, travel restrictions, etc. We need people, experts from various fields AND layfolk, to have a real dialog about them. "Lockdown until vaccine unless proven otherwise" is simply not going to work.

Perhaps I haven't found these kind of voices because there is not actually a decent argument to be made. Maybe I've just missed them. Maybe epidemiologists aren't, by and large, disposed to think about economic impact, long term health implications of living in lockdown, or other second order effects. Or quite likely they are scared shitless to make anything resembling a pro-opening argument because their field is ridden with groupthink orthodoxy at the moment. Much like we see from whichever (IMO) bad actors were flagging this post.

yeah I believe that was the only option for older / cheaper displays. I recently got a kindle for a present and notice that when it can, it will try to refresh the screen as little as possible.

For example, when you press the top of the screen to bring up the settings, only the top cycles, and then the same when you tap below to get rid of the settings.

To that end, I would be interested in watching some high-speed camera footage of the displays just to see the gears turn. I’ll have a look round and edit this comment if I find any.

3M sells some high-quality home HVAC filters under the "Filtrete Healthy Living Advanced Allergen Reduction" label; you may want to try one for a couple of months and see if it helps you breathe better.

I'm sure there are better ones out there, or cheaper ones of equal quality from a different brand, but in my experience these work quite well.

The problem is the cross-over between spell checking and finger location.

if I mistype something because my finger comes down on an adjacent key, with autocorrect turned off, I can figure it out.

Say I want to type QWER and type FDSA by mistake, tomorrow when I read what I typed, figure out where my fingers were and recreate QWER.

But with autocorrect which does spell checking and semantic stuff, there's a good chance that FDSA will be corrected to something like FORD or VISA and I will never be able to recreate what I was thinking of.

I'm sorry I don't have a less contrived example.

The reason I did this was because I had some important things I jotted down quickly, and later - even with an hour of thinking - I could not recreate my original thought.
