I know that Cliqz initially sourced clickstream data from companies outside the EU (in particular Isreal) to build its search index on. Most of this data was not acquired with the informed consent of the users, who were "donating" it unwittingly through browser extensions they had installed. I think this eventually led Cliqz to build its own extensions and acquire Ghostery, which had amassed an enormous stockpile of personal data (related to cookies in particular) using a similar scheme. So I'd say a little skepticism is warranted, even though it's possible that Cliqz really turned the boat around later in terms of respecting user privacy.
They have good touchpads and touchpad drivers. Other than that, there's not much to set them apart from other laptops.
Playing devil's advocate, it's easy to say there are far more victims of CSA and child pornography than of school shootings among children.

Personally speaking, I think opponents of encryption and guns are in the same anti-freedom camp. Neither should be banned or regulated because all arguments in favor of those things I find to be dishonest or questionable.

Gun deaths are on a consistent downward trend for the last 30+ years despite record gun and ammunition sales. Plotted on the same chart, you'll find as gun sales increased the amount of gun deaths was decreasing at the same time. This isn't to say they're correlated, my argument is that they're not correlated in either direction (and so a ban argument makes no sense).
> Question: in the demo you load papaparse but the data is delivered as JSON?

good catch, leftovers from original PoC i made locally. the exported data was still in CSV back then. i should clean that up!

> Would you mind sharing what your backend looks like for the project where you're using this, and how do you extract all of this data at once from storage?

i just did a manual export from Analytics. how you get the data out is up to you, but a time-series or columnar database would probably be a good start :)

Powerful Python | Global | REMOTE | https://powerfulpython.com

Python Developers: Do you have a PASSION for teaching? For pushing others to their greatest potential?

Powerful Python teaches IT professionals how to successfully write high-quality software in Python.

Our vision is "The Python 1%"... helping our clients reach the top 1% level of developers on the PLANET, with the most important language in the history.

We do not teach beginners; our students are already in the workforce. Our "secret" is

1) World-class communication skills

2) Applied cognitive psychology

3) Relentless devotion to excellence in software engineering

We'll train you in #1 and #2. You bring #3.

Requirements:

1) Fluent written & spoken English. You don't have to be a native, but you must be close.

2) Experience writing complex software systems in real-world production environments, under budget and/or time pressure.

3) Experience teaching or public speaking

We're a distributed company based in the USA with global ambitions. Roles:

1) Half-time mentor/trainer

2) Staff developer + trainer. Just like #1, except you're also working half time developing software for Powerful Python

For #1, we expect that you are regularly writing significant code. We don't need people who don't practice what they're teaching.

This is NOT for everyone. Is it for you?

If so, send CV/resume to service@powerfulpython.com with the subject "Python Trainer - <your name>".
FWIW: the fastest growing US states right now are Nebraska, Iowa and Kansas (though Illinois is also up there, and no doubt dominated by the Chicago metro area).

The idea that rural areas don't see rapid growth isn't really well-founded. What happened was that large international cities experienced their outbreaks earlier. Nebraska may be small still, but at their current growth rate they'll match New York's all time high new infection rate (per capita) in just two weeks.

Go browse the charts at https://91-divoc.com/pages/covid-visualization/ and note how similar all these curves look. No one is special. Everyone grows rapidly without lockdown. Everyone levels off with it.

Only a few states have actually seen a peak and a significant reduction in new infections (c.f. Vermont, Montana, Hawaii). Those are the ones that might consider opening up right now. Everyone else just isn't safe yet.
I would agree that if my comment changed, it would be edited; however, I'm asserting that it was not changed -- it is how I wrote it originally. Perhaps you saw a similar comment that was edited?
Another tip to add to point 2: keep the scope of each branch limited so that the resulting name can be short. E.g. a branch with feature1, feature2, and fix3 should be 3 separate branches. Combining too many things into one branch is a common mistake, and a side-effect is that it's impossible to come up with a short name for the branch.
I will say that I appreciate the nomenclature, if nothing else.
Replacing CPython's Parser
Just pertinent to this article, take a look at the links to their QUIC implementation. The reason I bring this up is because it's pretty easy to make a simplified fast path TCP stack that doesn't have all the branch heavy code necessary to do what the Linux TCP stack does well. So this is like a Phoronix style "benchmark". An undergrad level of understanding of systems will net you that you can get equal performance in userspace or kernel space with sufficient holistic thinking and accounting of data movement. I would caution that very few people are qualified to do this in userspace though, which is paradoxical because you will find a lot more people showing up claiming they know how.

So basically this isn't a competent test; it isn't the production grade QUIC from google, it's a toy and the result is complete nonsense.

What a rude comment. You can literally ask this on every single Show HN thread.
Show HN: Pesky – a way to send multiple text messages
Back when I was freelancing, I noticed how other freelancers had to deal with non-payments and trying to get hold of clients to no avail. I’ve had it myself, and thought of the least professional thing to do with said toxic clients - send a daily email… It worked

But emails can be ignored, and WhatsApp too… Then something caught my eye. You’ve probably seen the videos of someone’s phone going crazy with notifications and such… Bragging rights though.

So with that idea in mind, I thought of the one “app” that everyone has - SMS - and thought what if you could send a crazy stream of SMS messages to someone AND have the bragging rights of paying large to do it

It’s a crazy and silly idea, but imagine sending 50, 1000, or 10,000 text messages each second to one individual?!

The following was just my experience.

My suggestion is you read about self-efficacy[0] and do small things which lead to bigger success.

The concept of self-efficacy was a huge eye opener for me.

Maybe for you as well.

When you like to write a book try writing one paragraph now. Do things you can do 100% and do it. Daily something. Tomorrow you you maybe read one article about a topic you find interesting. Then you bake something, cook something and join a class with people who also like to draw?

Try to give yourself time and don't try to do things you can't do yet.
Focus on progress instead goals and see what happens.

I've built an app with a nocode tool for me in a afternoon exactly for this. Maybe this is helpful for you? focusonprogressnotgoals.250g.dev

You are on hackernews, so i guess you're interested in coding or tech. Write your own app to solve this or just use a nocode tool and click something together in an evening?

Yeah, thanks for your code, it helped me greatly.

The EARN IT act is not really to prevent online child exploitation. It can't be. Because this act will push the people involved in those practices underground to places that cannot be censored like Tor.

In fact, the EARN IT act puts children directly in danger.

When evidence of child exploitation is pushed out of the regular internet, it becomes much harder to discover and prosecute.

This seems like a strange way to frame it. Polygons aren’t what get subdivided. Subdivision surfaces & NURBS are what get subdivided, and those are routinely used in production and have tooling. Polygons by themselves don’t get any smoother or provide the advantages you’re talking about, nor do they solve all problems of workflow, tex coords, stitching, etc.
> Last I checked, I was 9700 kilometers away from California. Not everybody on HN is from Silicon Valley.

So... you have strong labor where you live? Where do you live? Employment is not at will? Everyone gets a contract with a specified time? Saying you live far away doesn't address whether employment is at-will where you live.

> Then you've never seen one bad hire destroy whole teams.

Nope, never have. Ever. My anecdotes are as good as yours.

> This thesis has no null hypothesis...

Lots of word salad there, let me break it down for you: without speaking to someone to learn more, your interpretation of "desperation" based on their resume or what jobs they apply for alone is a projection of your own insecurities. Maybe they like several of the jobs at your company and could do them equally well. Just because you would feel "desperate" if you did that doesn't mean everyone does. All your gymnastics about hypothesis and arguments don't actually address any of the real issues that the post is about. Pretty self-congratulatory about knowing words.

Right, but the rest of the questions remain, along with the usefulness of CSG in real scenarios. CSG can be interesting, but it does end up being very impractical for anything except for some specific effects that are then turned into polygons. It is technically possible to create sdfs and trace against those I'm sure, but csg is rarely used and baking it to sdf instead of polygons even more so.
Thank you for doing that. I really wish they did open source their apps also.
Pretty much yes, though I was angling toward coordination difficulties between people creating complexity which is “accidental” from the perspective of the whole system but “essential” to individual actors given their incentives and what they can rely on, either for purely social-maneuvering reasons or for other reasons as well. And more specifically, how this happens even when the accidental complexity isn't really in line with the group's values or with the values of the individual actors. The way that this grounds out in a technical sense is scenarios like the one you describe, so I think we're talking about the same broad set of phenomena.

Further, there's different levels and causes of “coordination didn't happen”, such as “we tried, but got confused and didn't have time to understand each other properly” or “actively sabotaging everyone else's ability to deal with the aggregate system so that I can get ahead”… and somewhere in there is one that stands out to me as specifically interacting with technical complexity, along the lines of “I want my piece to not have to be the one that changes and/or takes on other costs”. Which is part of the social dynamic of moving externally-essential complexity around within the aggregate system and potentially creating ripples of accidental complexity along the way.

(Whether and how this also happens when the information systems in question are human minds rather than software components might be relevant but also an exercise for the reader…)
Very interested in talking if you would like to help make it better! Email's in my profile. Cheers!
I wonder if, consistent with what the "Four-hour work week" title implies, only about 10% of the content is actually of value.
> What I've learned while I lived in Amsterdam is that you want to invest ~30% of the value of your bike to purchase a bike lock.

That advice predates the battery-powered angle grinder, which many bike thieves in Western Europe now use. Even the toughest, most expensive U-lock can be broken in about a minute with an angle grinder.
Honestly the title doesn't do it justice. For a plotting tool it's not an impossible task, but making a webpage this responsive is incredibly hard, so well done there.
My team found slashes to be annoying though, they are illegal in docker tag and DNS names. Tagging images with branch names and creating instances with branch as subdomain is kinda convenient.
That only replaces the "vehicle data inspection" use cases, not the other use cases such as "call me when my vehicle is crashed by my kid".
I have thought a lot about this - I have and do work with a ton of apps across number of clients. The stated benefits of K8s/OpenShift are negated by the complexity that it brings for most of those apps - especially when they don't need or use any of the sophisticated features of K8S.

If your central IT knows anything about Automation / DevOps you should not be wrangling time with them at all. It is easy peasy to setup Jenkins/Ansible/Tower based self service workflow for automating deployment and other things. Most enterprise apps do not need autoscaling, or weird unsupported OSes and libraries - JVM and CLR solved that problem long time ago. If you did it right horizontal scaling any app server should be a piece of cake if and when that one time you actually need it.

If you do need specific OS versions/libs - just use plain old docker - that's much less complicated and at least serves a purpose.

The point I am trying to make is - very few classes of apps can benefit from the added complexity of K8S and you should carefully evaluate if your app can benefit from K8S specific features and your Developers/Ops team are ready to deal with the complexity they are signing up for.
Oh that really sucks. I have an older one (Gen 1 I think) that a friend gave me when he upgraded. I don't really make much use of it but it was nice being able to see basic OBD codes the one time my car was acting up and the check engine light was on. Helped me figure out the likely issue before even taking it to the mechanic (saving time spent having them figure out the issue).

I could surely get a different BT ODB reader but I already have this one.

The EARN IT act is not about child exploitation at all. Because the effect will be the opposite -- it'll be pushed underground and away from law enforcement's reach.

It will put children in direct danger in order to further the actual goals of the legislation, which is to effectively ban E2EE in order for the intelligence community to put more deep surveillance in place.
We know the requirements fairly well, we just need more ventilators not new ones.

The ventilators we have aren’t the problem and their cost and design also don’t impact the production capacity that much what impacts it is the fact that most medical manufacturers never had to operate on such scales and those that even come close tend to big the big international players with global manufacturing that is heavily reliant on China.

There is a plethora of designs for ventilators of all types from emergency CPAP machines to multi-mode life support for ICU’s.

Those designs have already been validated and there is a huge bank of knowledge to support them.

All these pump/turbine based respirator not to mention the pneumatic Ambu bag auto-squeezers don’t really bring anything new to the table they just introduce an untested hardware and software.

Like seriously half the ventilators that were shown were an ambu bag and actuator and a micro controller attached to some pressure sensor yes it’s a very simple respirator but do we really need 50 university teams coming up with a design variation?

And as far as discovering something new the only thing we discovered so far is that people were put on a ventilator and even more so intubation way too early and that has negatively impacted their survival rate which is one of the reasons why the demand for ventilators has dropped.
