No, it's probably because then the app would need to be sandboxed and they wouldn't be able to justify their insane Hardened Runtime exemptions.
It's business that comes with risks. Nobody forced them to over extend.

They will struggle and tighten belts but they will survive and hopefully learn something from it.
Yeah, since the lockdown started we haven't had any takeaways, just cooking everything at home. Feels like ordering food in this situation is too frivolous.
Do you have any concerns about the social development of kids who go to traditional schools, where they interact solely with other kids close to their own age or teachers who are much older than them and whose interactions are rigid and artificial?

Sorry to sound snarky, but the idea that homeschool kids are somehow socially stunted is a myth that needs to die. If anything, it's the other way around. Homeschool kids are exposed to a much wider variety of social situations which develops a broad base of social skills and preparation for adult responsibility much more effectively than the stifling and artificial environment of public schools does.
Looks like a hearing aid.
There is nothing stopping you making a torrent.

I’m not sure why you expect museum staff to spend their time catering to your niche needs.
I’m being let go and it’s super obvious. They hired our replacements in Austin in March and they started in April. But now management is playing games hiding them under other org trees, etc. They did the same thing last year. There was obviously going to be a lay-off at the end of March like last year, but they delayed it to not look bad PR-wise. My manager has even casually started making strange comments like “all the jobs will eventually be in Austin” and “sometimes you just have to get laid off” so it’s like they’re telegraphing it at this point.
Since they are already on iOS, this is not an excuse. I would only trust a sandboxed version from them.
Uber eats is still a small but growing part of their business. I'm pretty sure Uber is still losing money on Uber Eats and many of their large markets are trying to pass legislation to cap the fees they can charge. If they aren't making money now, they aren't going to make money with fees lowered by 50-60%.
Daddy I don't know what to do on this page! The directions are confusing.

In-band signalling has always been error-prone. It's never worked and it never will.

It's been standard practice at all the companies I've worked at to index all foreign key fields, no matter what they're used for, I've yet to run into a situation where it's been more harmful than helpful, but these companies all had <10TB data in SQL so idk if it's good general advice.

If you do not need more than 5 stages on the Kanban, you can indeed use the Gmail Multiple Inboxes to easily moving the emails through the different panes. Play with different Google Stars to easily move the emails and, in the end, just unstar the message to clear it of your way. Bast practice to keep the inbox clean, once you added a star on your email and this is picked up with the Multiple Inboxes, ARCHIVE the message. It will still be visible in the Multiple Inboxes but cleared from your Indox. See more on the first video of my Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoPEE8RAtxJ3OhnlgeBVWEQ
Let me know if this could fix the problem in case Gmail is the platform.
> The appellate court ruled that the voice of someone famous as a singer is distinctive to their person and image and therefore, as a part of their identity, it is unlawful to imitate their voice without express consent and approval

So it's illegal to imitate a famous person, but not a regular Joe?

We certainly are all equal, except those who are more equal of course.
Those controllers look like so much fun! They're not hatefully expensive either. It looks like they're probably USB HID, too.
It seems to me a more likely scenario is that remote education will encourage a consolidation, to the point where there may be exactly one viable option for any particular subject or grade level.
I feel like HN is too skeptical of self driving. Having driven a Tesla for a road trip, I would feel safe letting it do all the work on interstates without the feedback it currently requires. That's a big step forward. Every day use cases, even if it's not every moment you're in your car, are certainly within reach.

Absolutely. I really, really wonder how you'd manage to get equipment in under the camera rig. All those cameras are going to look pretty tempting for the folks that normally just steal diesel, not to mention pretty silly flying around in bad weather.
because for the past 11 years, and people tend to forget how long this company has existed, they have been burning through money faster than star athletes after retirement while inventing increasingly convoluted metrics to claim to be actually profitable.

Many people are just tired of seeing glorified sales and taxi companies disguising themselves as tech companies.

The defining feature of a technology firm is reduction of marginal costs at scale. If you're adding human labour with every city you expand into you might have a problem on your hands if your banking on making facebook margins.There is an underlying exhaustion among some people, myself included, who want to see investments into basic research and real technological advances rather than yet another app delivering pizza being valuated at 50 billion dollars.
Yes, but that is where you use epidemiology. If you track down each person in the local area infected with the mutant strain and follow their clinical course you can work this out. You can also do serology to make sure the immune response is similar, etc.

There will always be the possibility that the attenuated strain varies is some major but subtle way from the non-attenuated strains, but this is not something ever seen before with other viruses. If you demand to know everything and the answers to all possible risks up front medical science doesn’t advance.
To some, probably. I'm pretty sure the British government realized this from the start, but despite their efforts to resist school closures they were strong-armed into doing it anyway by the teachers and the press.
> You're gonna need at least 10x as many additional beds as you currently have. At least. And that's for only 10% of your population getting sick.

The problem is that even if we just fill the current beds we have, we STILL don't have enough equipment for the healthcare workers.

This is a major problem.

Especially so since we can substitute therapies. For example, apparently high-flow ventilation is just as good as invasive ventilation--and maybe better. The problem is that it aerosolizes the virus, so your workers need a lot more equipment.

If you don't have enough equipment for the healthcare workers, things fall apart long before you reach available system capacity.

Typical fanboy comment. If you don’t have the information to make an informed comparison, don’t attempt one
you should

Nobody should unless they choose to. Not me, not the OP, or even “you”. The title is clear.
Fascinating thought! Makes sense though. Given n inputs and outputs, you could literally make an if-statement that solves nothing but gives you the 'right answer'. Actually understanding the fundamentals (often unseen) of a problem to then create an elegant, holistic solution that almost prophetically seems to predict the future is the current peak of human thought achievement, IMO.
I'm trying to imagine the amount of added car traffic if you add 10 - 20 miles to the average commute.
You have my sympathy. Two things are working against you: 1. You are being asked to do something you did not sign up for, and 2. You were blind-sided and did not have time to prepare.

We home schooled our child from the time we noticed pre-school was not exactly going great, until the day they left for college. (They were given a choice at middle school and high school to stop homeschooling, but they chose to stick with it.) We chose, we had time to prepare, and yet it was work.

Some things that make homeschooling easier: 1. Adjusting parent work/career to make time. Unfortunately, not so much an option for you. 2. Coops groups. Not an option for anybody during lock-down. 3. Curriculum themes. The way home-school parents handle multiple kids in different grades without going crazy is to pick a theme and assign appropriate work to each kid, example: The next 6 weeks everybody's world history is going to be South America, so 2nd grader does 2nd grade work product, middle schooler does middle school work product, high schooler does high school work product. But as a parent, at least the search space for resources is cut by 2/3's over having everyone do something different. I suspect your school isn't thinking that one through for you, either.

Frankly, if your school district lets you get away with it, it might be a good chance to try "unschooling" for a while. Unschooling is: Study what you want, but you must work on something. It will be an opportunity for the kids to learn how to be more self directed. ("unschooling" should not be confused with "raised by wolves" -- I've seen that, too, call unschooling, but the result isn't quite the same.)

First grade is a little young for that to work well, though, I must admit, unless they have already developed a reading habit. But heck, maybe even that is OK -- "read what you want, but you must read for X minutes." Kindling a love of reading at that age goes a long way later on.

Anyway, hang in. De-stressing is an important goal. I remember when mine was little and just starting violin -- at some point when the stress-meter was climbing, I decided it was more import that practice be fun every day than to accomplish everything that the teacher assigned every week. That was the right call, trust me.
Ah so the lobby money from big meat finally kicked in. This will totally end well

IMO you can't have long term success for basic income without coupling it with population control measures such as requiring a license to have a baby and/or limiting the number of babies people can have.

I fully support requiring a license to have a baby.
It's more complicated than that. The optimum population to plant say corn varies by soil type. But some seeds don't respond well to high population. When planted tightly together the corn in the fall will have have thin stalks and lodge, ie fall down. Sure you can harvest it but anyone who has ever watched someone try soon realizes they have a lot of losses.

When I was an agronomist I tried with several seed companies to get that kind of information but they didn't want to provide it. I am not certain if that has improved or not.

Most farmers are using 'precision agriculture' and fertilizing by either 2.5 acre grid squares or grids within individual soil types.
"The best tool is the one I know".
You're assuming everyone else has that option. Smaller house? Less cars? What?! I grew up with two parents making minimum wage. I have that choice, but others don't.
I wouldn't mind reading about how Palantir uses Kubernetes :-)
I’m personally happy with the licence, which makes it easier for people to use without being pursued by Getty or similar as happens with public domain images.

People here are complaining about it not being public domain, but as soon as image set is made public domain, HN posters complain about how Getty will abuse it. Can’t win!
This is an unreasonably optimistic model of how addicts behave.

It's not every day that you read such an article about a person you know and worked for more than a year.

I'm not excusing any of his behavior in youth, although I believe he feels very bad about it, but the person I know has definitely evolved from the distorted personality described in the article. It is possible, please see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSH5EY-W5oM.

The time I worked at Banjo was a great experience and still think he's one of the most skilled founders I've ever met. Great sales skills and tech chops. I was an immigrant and have always been treated with respect. At the same time it isn't surprising for me to read a comment like the other one on here about working at Banjo: with such a strong personality at the head of the company it can be like that for some, but I wouldn't consider it very different from other SV realities like FB or Amazon.

Sad that he participated in those crimes, and hope this becoming public can bring him to give back more to the community.
I do not know about this. I have two kids, 7 and 10, and yes, its messy but this is mostly because the teachers have not yet realized that they need to adapt and simplify their methods and, most importantly, communicate properly with the parents. With a few simple tweaks the kids could learn just as effectively as they do in regular school, in fact probably more, provided the parents are willing and able to step in.
Many of us lucky enough to have a reliable well paying job working from home probably realize they have food as almost the only fun we get these days when there are no events, no traveling, no restaurants.

I probably doubled my budget for food, both takeout and groceries, compared to last year. The wine delivery guy knows my name now.
I don't have the authority to do so, but could someone change the title of this to "Git Is Freaking Awesome", so that it matches the article?
People would say things like “losing money on every ride” but this didn’t appear to be correct based on the released financials. It was more like “making some money on rides overall, but spending tons of money on overhead”. Losing ride volume only makes that situation worse.
Intelligence, time preference, curiosity, and other characteristics that underly the behaviors you describe are strongly (genetically) heritable. It's probably not very dependent on (intentional) behaviors on the part of the parents. Blaming this on "culture" is an (optimistic) misunderstanding of the actual causal factors at play here - the reality is more depressing.

> I feel like HN is too skeptical of self driving. Having driven a Tesla for a road trip, I would feel safe letting it do all the work on interstates without the feedback it currently requires.

How many times does a Tesla have to actively accelerate and careen into a solid concrete barrier before HN's modicum of skepticism for self driving, particularly Tesla's implementation, is justified?
> Let's be honest - public schools' primary functions are to act as a daycare center and subsidized food distribution site. If you child is at all intelligent, you're probably better off leaving them at home with some books than sending them off to PS17851. I know I would have been better off that way!

Would you have been though? There's a core curriculum that I really doubt most kids would learn if they had their own way. Even with intelligence there's lots of stuff kids would never learn as it never interests them. What are the odds that a child is interested in Shakespeare, civics, biology, and trigonometry? We're drug through a lot of it kicking and screaming (to an extent), but it has value to have gone through it.
How about FANAMA?
No, not negative. It's an empirically proven fact that children of wealthy parents perform better in school. This is not up for debate.
Nazi books...

There is a parallel between many of these "tech" companies and the oil producers: both are producing a surplus when there is really not much demand for what they are producing.

Google/Facebook can have all the MAU and views in the world, but if there is no one interested in buying ad space, then all that attention is effectively worthless. In recessions, one of the first things to go is ad spend.
Why does aid for corporations rely so heavily on loans or bonds? If a continuing source of frustration and dysfunction is that profits are privatized and losses are nationalized, and if the issue is that companies need an influx of cash, why do we not ask these companies to sell the federal government a stake? If the companies recover, why shouldn't the public benefit as a result of their investment?

The idea that the federal government would take an ownership stake in companies in exchange for this cash infusion seems like it's been a fringe left wing proposal -- but I don't understand why it's fringe.

I'm pretty sure the stats show that even parent(s) who are bad at homeschooling produce kids who score in the top 50% of their cohort.

Not having to deal with bullies, constant distractions, sharing the teacher with 30+ other kids, most of whom would rather be anywhere else, doing things at your own pace, is no small thing.
There is, but they are also fairly annoying to read…
That's 30 employees per city, for those who didn't do the mental math. Seems way more reasonable considering for each given market, you'll need a number of support staff + supervisors, marketing people, staff to support drivers and their enrollment, and staff to support an office if one exists. Divvy up corporate HQ heads (engineering, exec team, etc.) and I can see that number hitting 30 per city.

> Is that really bad?

Yes, it's quite mean-spirited. Basically others are free to use the thing that the licenser made unless they're savvy enough to think of a way to make money from it, in which case the licenser gets pissy and says "nope". For no reason other than "I didn't think of that".
Even ignoring the fact that google has the resources to pull this off easily. In countries where they already have all of that set up, because they sell other products, these issues still exist.

Selling a newer version of a product in a country where the old version is already being sold is not an issue for small companies, and it shouldn't be for google.

I have never had any issues buying Samsung, OnePlus, Apple, or any other brand devices no matter the device category.

In fact last time I wanted to buy a google device (the original pixel phone) I was on the waitlist for almost 2 months before I walked to the apple store and bought an iPhone - and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Except when it's not. :)
I personally do not think its a lack of high tech. A written schedule mailed every week and the ability to email or call the teacher once or twice a week would get you 90% of the value.
My wife's classroom can barely get magic markers. And we are in a semi nice middle class area. The laptops the district provided for the teachers to use for remote learning can not even handle having MS Teams and Zoom running at the same time.

Im sure this is solvable, yes, but it would take a lot of planning, lots of training, money and lots of IT.

I am glad they got something in place and are trying to do the best they can with what they had. But wow, parents are frustrated.
Yeah, why would anyone want to download everything instead of manually going through through their 100% super specialized fantastic viewers, one at a time?

Whenever an institution announces "X million something available for free".. what they're really typically saying is.. "Please give us more attention. We're not going to just give away the data willynilly. We just want the goodwill and the PR. You may view a subset of the data through our [typically fantastically crappy] viewer."
Market product fit – the right way of thinking
Wow, an abusive, toxic person both then and now. It's funny how such people often rise to the top through bluster, despite being objectively bad at their jobs.
Turing completeness sounds like an arbitrary distinction to those outside of the field of CS, but it’s not.

To me, the distinction here is that the stack machine in WASM is restricted to the point that it corresponds 1:1 with an expression tree—not even a graph, just a tree. This means that every function in Web Assembly can be thought of as a collections of statements and expressions, and the stack machine abstraction is nothing more than a serialization format for the expressions.

Maybe dial it back a bit with the challenge to point at literature. The literature has not really caught up with the existence of WASM yet.
We don’t know if the deletions already seen in the current genome data set are attenuated or not as nobody has checked. I am suggesting that we check.

The bigger point I was making is that there are many deletion mutants out there. We should be looking for more and checking if they are attenuated or not. We might be very unlucky and find there are none, but that seems rather defeatist given we haven’t even tried.
He should be afforded some basic right to contribute to society - like managing a restaurant, or something. It is not appropriate for a former Neo-Nazi to receive state surveillance contracts. It is not appropriate for a former Neo-Nazi to be able to work with any kind of sensible data. Even if completely rehabilitated, their origins are - to my mind - treacherous.
