can you or anyone factually prove that they’re wrong? 99% of the internet and “experts” said HCQ is dangerous and ineffective, then it just came out that a leading group of ER docs say it’s effective in ~90% of cases.

The point is that even if they’re wrong, youtube and others are playing a dangerous Orwellian game and it’s going to harm their reputability in the end.
Yes, there are just two generally usable mobile OSs - ios and android. The only way to not share you every living moment with google while still having a snartphone is to have an iphone.

It's fucked up that's the way world is, but it is the way the world is.
People on HN tend to vastly underestimate the number of bodies that can be used in sales and marketing at a global scale. Typically you have local teams in both silos running on the ground.

As much as I would like to agree, as a user who has DDG as the default search engine, this is not my experience... DDG consistently gives me useless results when I search for less popular languages results (searching Dart, or the search-friendly dartlang, gives me crap every time, while Google finds stuff easily... sure, Dart is by Google, that may be a factor, but if I remember correctly, results for Groovy and very new languages like Unison are a lot better at Google) I unavoidably have to use !g to turn to Google. To the point where when I am at work and cannot afford wasting time, I use Google by default.
I use a Transcend JetDrive 855 with a 2015 iMac 5K. It's expensive, but does the job and is very fast (Thunderbolt 10 Gb/s and internally M.2 PCIe).
I wondered about that when I first heard the song. The Agency is involved in all kinds of literature/translation books, so why not song lyrics?

David Hasselhoff takes some credit for the Wall coming down, so you never know:

I like that Haskell exists, but stuff like this article demonstrates why it isn't adopted widely.

Imperative programming is the most natural thing for people. "Do this, then that, then that, in that order."

Some languages take that model and run with it, and add features that are not "pure" but let people get work done. We all know which ones those are. If you work in industry they are the ones you use.

Haskell rejects the imperative model, yet it attempts to appear imperative to be palatable to more people while retaining a pure functional model under the hood. But that causes it to be criticized by the pure-minded. So who is it for?
I also have real concerns about the use of gamification in these online learning apps. It seems to really encourage an unhealthy obsession with points, collecting awards etc. to the point where learning is secondary. To be clear, I'm not suggesting that e.g. a child doesn't learn maths or a language etc. using these apps, but I think there are other things that are being learnt as well. If tasks are not game-based, they're now boring, and are to be avoided. If they require serious focus and thinking with no immediate rewards beyond just learning, they're avoided. What's become more important is immediate gratification and the dopamine hit. I really worry that the over reliance on gamification is encouraging very negative behaviours in young children.
> I think this has more to do with a lack of meaningful competition than anything else.

A good way to introduce meaningful competition is leveling the playing field when it comes to return policies. The ease of returns at Amazon is often brought up by US users in these discussions. And it's indeed great. However in europe it's a non-issue since all shops have to offer a 14-day no questions asked return option. Wondering whether I'll be able to return an item isn't part of my purchasing considerations at all - regardless of where I shop.

In my opinion good legislation and reasonable minimum standards for all sellers enable competition.
There sure must be a bunch of lousy online shopping sites storing CVVs in flagrant opposition to the entire point of CVVs.
Idk at a moment with such high unemployment, that seems like a mostly self-solving problem. Sure person A won't return to work because they're living high on an expanded benefit, but person B doesn't qualify so they are happy to take up the job.

If you give EVERYONE the benefit, as long as it's not counted as income (as this proposal suggests) then I can have this money AND the money i'd earn at the job! Do you want $2k or 4k this month?
These are all intangible stuff devised by human minds.
This is not so surprising for someone that has worked a lot with legacy systems.

Deep down somewhere there is a LIKE 'EML STREET%'. Making it case insensitive will kill the performance because the index cant be used.
Before COVID, the only people I saw home schooling were doing so out of ideologic incentives.

(Other than extreme edge cases).

I see no issue with home schooling receiving a negative rep.

Unless you're a trained educator, I see no benefit to home schooling children and depriving them of standard curriculums and socializing.

(I'm biased having only experienced positive public school environments in Russia and Canada. Perhaps there is some dystopia with the American Public School system, but the root problem is America, not public schools)
> You can teach children the breakout method or normal method, their understanding doesn't change

Adults utterly confused about (600+30+4)(100+20+7) do prove that they did not understood what is going on. The follow the algorithm, but don't know how to do expressions. And they have been taught the old method.

Also, this (600+30+4)(100+20+7) not be too abstract for average intelligence adult.
Imo, hooks present an API that is much less difficult to internalize, but maybe holds your hand less? I used react for a few months on a sideish project and had trouble knowing which component method I needed for something, whereas with react now it's all covered by hooks.
Doesn’t work particularly well with early primary school kids though. Interactivity is a big part of learning and that’s close to impossible remotely.

The flipped classroom concept itself is nothing new. My issue is with the “remote” part of that. There is value in kids working on an art project together or working in small groups to create a poster presentation, etc. The lecture-homework paradigm might be appropriate for high school, to for younger grades, there really aren’t lectures as much as interactive discussions and hands-on exploration.
This is an incredibly US-biased comment, plus the comment you responded to even spelled out explicitly that they walk to their local restaurants...
Matched betting (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matched_betting)
I think the flaw in your question is the assumption that a social network needs a business model. It's like asking what the business model is for SMTP. It shouldn't be under the control of a single entity so it shouldn't need a single specific business model. Then you have a market for providers even though it's still all the same network.
tldr; React is a view renderer. It renders views. Getting data to and from those views not included. Navigation? Not included. Persistence? Not included. Styling? Not included. Why? It's just a view renderer, that is to say, it renders templates.

When the only thing your application shares with its dependencies is its view renderer, you're going to feel a lot of pain. This is one of the big reasons why I use Ember.js for complex web-frontends (though holla to phoenix live views). It's a framework-- it has all them pieces you need included in a sane way that's consistent.

Just my two cents...

P.S. If you write JavaScript UI code, and you want to like be better at it, go write native UI code. You'll learn soooo god damn much, write better JS, and understand a lot more about what the fuck all these pieces (like react) are actually doing (rendering UI, managing state, networking etc) in a sane curated (thanks Googs, Microsofties, and Apples) way.
SDLang – Simple Declarative Language
No, you use componentDidMount etc, spreading out the logic that could go into a single hook into multiple lifecycle methods, spaghettied with other logic. Hooks are much cleaner.
I would assume most of the planes are distributed throughout the main European airports. However, there is an example in Spain of a dedicated parking: https://www.web24.news/u/2020/04/two-models-of-the-failed-ai...
Yep, I use myname@mysurname.com as my email... It costs 10 dollars a year to keep my own domain, and that lets me not only have my own website on my own domain, and my own email address that will never have to change, but also for my whole family! Really good "investment".
All I'm missing now is ability to provision droplet without public IP. Sure I can disable the interface, but in VPC I really don't want publicly accessible resources except well defined entry points.
Oh I don't want to kill Bitcoin. I'm just saying it can disappear. Gold can't. Similarily, gold miners can't just agree to alter supply. It's impossible for them to increase supply ten times across the board.

You claim there is a "main chain" in Bitcoin as if it were a physical fact. That's one of the myths! It's called consensus protocol for a reason. Forks are part of the protocol and sometimes splits require manual intervention to stabilize the network.

The scarcity of Bitcoin is arbitrary. Markets being irrational for years is nothing new. As long as there is influx of capital, it keeps going. Like gods or other fiat currencies, Bitcoin depends on people believing in it to exist.

I agree that there are other uses for Bitcoin but they are marginal. The high transaction costs of bitcoin mean that if we ever wanted those features badly enough, a service with less energy consumption would be established.

> by this standard YouTube is also “silencing (deplatforming)” people who don’t have computers because it’s not giving them resources to help them make and post videos.

unlike directly removing videos from their platform youtube is not responsible for preventing people from having a computer. We should all however strive to make computers and internet access as accessible to people as possible.

> Deplatforming is not silencing.

I disagree. It is suppression and obstruction of information

> The default state of an individual in society is no platform.

The default state is a very limited platform (those immediately around you at any given time perhaps), but when you explicitly provide a platform for the public to use and then censor voices because you don't like what they have to say you're violating free speech principles.

> People who want platforms should build them.

All people or just the ones you want to silence? Should that also apply to people like the WHO or any of the doctors who are spreading truths on youtube? Should they all get off youtube and just use their own platforms?

I actually agree that people should build their own platforms where it's possible because we shouldn't be entire reliant on any one place, but it's unreasonable to expect people to replicate anything on the scale of youtube. Youtube has no meaningful competition for a reason.

> You do not need to give people bad information to educate them.

It is often far more effective to show people something that is wrong, explain why\how\where it is wrong and how to spot similar wrong things than to give only explicit facts. In fact I'd argue that without that kind of instruction or understanding you're unlikely to fully understand whatever you're supposed to be learning in the first place.

route memorization is inferior to actual understanding. In addition not even YouTube controls the narrative everywhere. The same misinformation they silently censor and fail to correct often being spread elsewhere unchecked. Youtube, being so popular, has a great opportunity to raise awareness of truth by addressing misinformation at the very place people hearing it (and vulnerable to believing it) will actually see it. That's something that isn't done in email chains or facebook group etc.
I'm generally sympathetic to the doctors. I'm sure they're trying to do the best they can, going against the mainstream, potentially endangering their careers.

However, "Dr Fauci hasn’t seen a patient in 20 years" is not an opinion - it's factually wrong. When making controversial statements, one should be very careful to avoid erroneous ones alongside.
> Drones are far too slow and munitions they carry are far too slow.

Quantity has a quality all its own.

> AEGIS cruisers (carrier battle group / CBG) surrounding the carrier

If you do not know how large or small the drones may be, you may have to protect against attacks from within that perimeter.

Regardless, for the point of view of the current discussion, the question is not whether you are correct, it is whether or not the Navy people have reasons to stay up at night worrying that you may not be 100% correct, worrying at least enough to lose a little of their rationality when dealing with a new situation that they are unable to explain. Skeptics say that extraordinary explanations require extraordinary evidence and that normally only normal things happen. But that kind of thinking may not prevail when one is trained to believe the multi-billion dollar radar no matter how odd the display appears and no matter how many layers of software and hardware between the antenna and the display must work together flawlessly to put that image on the screen. Particularly when your own life, thousands of others, and everything you are working for may be at stake.
> If there's enough enthusiasts using spare disks (...) then that means Filecoin hosting will be available cheaper than cloud hosts

Ok. Agreed.

> If all that capacity gets used up, then supply and demand will cause the price to go up until more people add capacity.

Agreed.

> If the price hits the price of cloud hosts, then people will just run tons of Filecoin nodes on cloud hosts.

Not necessarily. I can just buy more disks and run locally, whether for hosting my data or to sell the space on the network, which brings the price back to people-selling-spare-disk-space-for-cheap level.

> Then anyone that can undercut the cloud hosts will be free to run their own Filecoin nodes, and the price will be pushed down as people do this.

Yeah, but that is kind of my point. Everyone will undercut each other until the price hits the bottom. The equilibrium will be at most the commodity price.
Good to hear, but it seems like using both paths at the same time would be necessary for connection migration to work well, as you're often not sure which connection is actually better. If you have to wait until you're completely sure one connection is gone before switching wholesale to the other, that removes a lot of the benefit of connection migration.
How many of these contributions have became part of Uber's core business?
I agree that their open source contributions are laudable, but it seems unfair to expect them to bankroll projects that don't contribute to the bottom line, especially if they are bleeding cash. It would be different if they were rolling in cash like the faang companies.
My superficial understanding is that React components as classes are far more complicated than they might seem at first. You're not in control of creating the class instances, rendering them or destroying them. React is in control of that.

The constructor is the wrong place for data fetching in React class components as far as I remember anyway. I don't remember the exact reason, but it always has been somewhat non-obvious and you always needed to understand the React lifecycle to avoid bugs in that kind of code.
Takeout doesn't work in practice for bigger collections (archive creation routinely fails, timeouts while downloading, 50GB max size results in many splits)

I've used this 3rd party tool and it worked OK: https://github.com/gilesknap/gphotos-sync/
I installed another camera app a couple of months after getting the phone, which allows me to do that. The phone has essentially replaced my Fuji x100t for one project, mostly because of its wide angle lens.

AFAIA the default camera app doesn't allow you to shoot in RAW, it doesn't even give you the fundamental manual expsure controls, and that's part of my point - the defaults are designed to make it easy and make the photos look good on the phone, which is what 99% of users want.

I'm absolutely fine with that, BTW, but it's rather frustrating that the out of the box camera app doesn't include the ability to control the three fundamental exposure factors. Not even hidden behind an "advanced" setting or anything.
What does "indebt ourselves and our children" mean? Our children will be indebted to...other children.

If Richie Rich buys a treasury bond, then Richie Rich Jr. will be entitled to receive money from Johnny Taxpayer Jr. But this is just equivalent to increasing Johnny's taxes and reducing Richie's. Congress could reverse that with legislation. So, really, why should we care?

Now if we had a time machine and were teleporting ventilators from the future, we might have a problem.
Since the procedures require such extensive checks after those dormant planes' return to service, wouldn't you say that once all of them become airborne again, statistically speaking the risk of catastrophic failures is going to increase? I am afraid well see some accidents end of this year...
Margins drive efficiencies. A grocery store is amazing at holiday planning but a tech company will make guesstimates.
I use a private Searx instance which includes searches over my own document archive in its results. To achieve this I made a new Searx 'engine' [1] - which is essentially a proxy between the Searx instance and another search engine - which connects Searx to a Recoll instance. Since Recoll can also search email it would be fairly trivial to include results from there as well although I have never used this. The 'engine' would need to be extended in such as way as to communicate the (logged-in) username to Recoll so it returns results from the correct email account (or no email account for anonymous users) but that is a fairly trivial change.

Does switching contexts necessarily means quitting unneeded applications, or can it just hide them?
I’ve always wanted to use macOS multiple desktops feature for managing contexts, but working with multiple windows of the same app makes app switching a nightmare.

Also, what pricing model are you planning to use?
Note to Future Self:

I have to wonder if it wouldn't be a great business idea to find / gather all disgruntled Amazon shippers / sellers, then create some small-scale, yet large enough to get the job done, Amazon alternative...

You can't believe what you see right now. I remember watching people doing insane things on Facebook back in 2011 but it was all fake. Nothing has changed.
I'm not sure that holds true, at least for the big telescopes.

The lifetime cost of the hubble is about 10 Billion and the development cost of the James webb telescope is approaching 10 Billion. James Webb will launch on an Ariane 5 rocket, which costs about 140 million per launch. This is about 1-2% of the development costs.
The trouble with de-Google is you have to replace a highly integrated suite of apps with separate bits which lack integration.

Also, if you have hundreds of accounts where you used gmail to register and hundreds or thousands of contacts which might send you mail, it's hard to switch.
> I find it alarming that you think you understand my thoughts without getting into a conversation with me, to the point of announcing your disgust over a forum.

You’ve been expressing your thoughts on that same forum, and if I’ve misunderstood them I am sorry, but as far as I did understand them I am disgusted by them. You are free to clarify anything you think I have misunderstood, of course. But I would advise you to be more careful publicly sharing your thoughts on any forum if you’re going to go clutching pearls at how they are received. Failing that, let me clarify that I am merely disgusted at what you actually wrote, which may have nothing to do with the ineffable inner workings of your mind.

Did you not mean to imply, as a premise, that Google (specifically YouTube) should be censoring user-submitted content on the basis that it disagrees with the “responsible judgment” of some institutional authority? If so, please inform me what you meant in the first place. Because even in the best of faith I can’t find any other way to interpret your comment.

Specifically:

> If you don't trust Google to make a category of social or moral judgments, you're either trusting the market or you have another institution do the job.

If someone posts a video on YouTube, anyone who watches that video will make their own “social and moral judgments” about the content of that video, and in most circumstances that’s enough for me. Why are you assuming that some “institution” will inevitably make those judgments for us, and decide based on those judgments whether we’re allowed to see the video in the first place? Why is that something you accept, and seemingly advocate? Because that is the premise that I question, reject, and express my disgust at.
> And anyone who has used classes in Java or other languages would feel at home.

Not really because there's nothing object oriented about React.Component. It's just a wrapper for a function implemented as a class.
and you certainly don't need to fight local activists

But ironically, you may begin to get grief from astronomers if you really start to scale (see, Starlink).
I'm actually in the slow process of this as well. Moving to DDG is the easiest starting point; in the beginning it's tempting to type g! with every search until you start trusting the results. Next I changed from my Pixel 2 to a SailfishX on a Sony phone. I'm planning on moving to Owncloud for contacts/storage/docs next. It's surprising how I've paid for Google to deeply invade my life.
Hydroelectric power still requires the building of dams, turbines and piping, the production of which all produce pollution. Again I agree that it is much smaller than that produced during the lifecycle of a coal plant, but building something like the hoover dam is not pollution free. Additional use of resources due to inefficiencies is always going to result in more pollution unless we can eliminate pollution from many industrial processes.
I used to calibrate Studors when I got my first reel (ha) internship out of college. Fascinating machines, I loved being in a small cohort of self-taught individuals who could work on decades old technology.

Sometimes we would lack documentation on a particular model, or part we needed to repair, but I remember my mentor's words that follow me through industries and jobs to this day;

"if a human designed and built it, a human can understand and repair it".
