If anything, that's one of the reasons brought up in _opposition_ to monopolistic copyright laws: piracy is going to happen, legal or not. If you don't release your stuff freely, people will google "___ full PDF" and end up with some badly-OCR'd out-of-date version of your text. If you distribute it freely yourself, you're cutting the middleman out in a way, since by doing that you assure that there's a well-known, authoritative, up-to-date and free source of your work.

It doesn't work via the App store, apps which require you to bypass the app store are not innocuous.
Some people will, sure. But the overall volume of content will decrease by many orders of magnitude, since very few people will be able to make a primary living off of it.

You might view this as a good thing (under the idea that most stuff out there is crap), but I can think of quite a few things that I expect would not exist without copyright, and I'd miss them.

Our current copyright regime is horrendously broken, but abolishing copyright is just going to create other problems.

All of these "self driving cars" come with a big disclaimer: the self-driving functionality is a convenience feature and only intended to be used with close supervision in clear driving conditions.

When they work, they're amazing. When they don't, you still need a licensed driver behind the wheel. There's a big gap between the Tesla Autopilot and taxis without a person in them.
This might be it. In the 90s, tech was certainly non-conformist; you had a skill that not many people knew about; you could do magic! Now it's the opposite. If you behave and pretend to like the right people, there's a very slight chance you can retire early. Most likely, you'll just spend your years being a phony. Antithetical to the spirit of the 70s, 80s and 90s tech scene.
I remapped the key on the upper left, where ESC should be, to ESC. Well, it's now to the left of the number row, but I've used keyboards where it was in that place. So muscle memory works fine for that.

The keys that are there (caret and circle) get some other place, which works fine for me, because I am used to having those somewhere else in the first place.
We don't "know" that infection confers any sort of lasting immunity, but there's zero reason to believe it doesn't give you immunity at least for a few years.

This is all rooted in the media narrative trying to scare people to stay at home "you could catch it over and over again". It's not science, and it's counter productive.
I absolutely can make a statement that as things stand now, something is illegal, while also mentioning that there may be value in discussing whether it should be legal or not. Here's another one: According to federal law (of the USA), recreational marijuana use is illegal. So anyone that smokes weed for fun (in the USA) is breaking the law, and that's a fact. But there is a separate discussion that we should have about whether we should legalize recreational marijuana use. I didn't take a position on the issue, but I do support at least having the discussion.

I also did not claim that PopCornTime has a moral responsibility, I said that using clever phrasing doesn't make something illegal into something legal.
Brazilian speaking. Coelho is considered one of our finest songwriters of all time. He sells a lot, but is considered low literature over here. The Alchemist is basically a bunch of mystical and self help cliches.

Paulo Coelho likes to propagate the notion that he posses actual magical powers. When a news crew went to his house, he refused to unsheathe a sword because it might unleash catastrophic events.

That said, I read The Alchemist when I was a teenager and found it pretty fun. As a adult, I would never would never take him seriously.
Thanks! That's maybe not readable enough to be the primary URL but I've pinned that comment to the top.

Interesting to see how people deal with this information given that mainstream media has instilled in us that the moral responsibility of the disease lies in China.
Thank you for pointing that out, you are right. I had intended to complement with dates with 3 bullet points and missed that fine point.

2.5 era: " ... some might argue that the third era was the “Effective” era, with books such as Meyers’ Effective C++, Bloch’s Effective Java or Wagner’s Effective C# as flagship examples. But I consider these books, as useful as they are, just an offspring of the second era; a much needed upgrade. Let’s say, then, it was the 2.5 era of programming books".

3.0 era: "... at a time where the dot-com boom opened the door for new ideas, right in the middle of the Web 2.0 craze, and right before the rise of the smartphone and social media. Through the use of comic images, unusual text layout, and a fantastic sense of humor, Kathy Sierra argues, readers can learn the concepts easier; tricking the brain into the proper levels of dopamine".

At barnes & nobles / borders I always grabbed one of these books which made content enjoyable to read. She sparked a new era of genres produced by other authors, for example, an anime version of learning python.
For people like me who didn't know: Goop.com describes itself as "Cutting-edge wellness advice from doctors, vetted travel recommendations, and a curated shop of clean beauty, fashion, and home."

Misleading headline. Big money behind those attacks.
But in this case the mechanics at play are the same: people can read the documentation and arrive at the idea that this protocol is actually good and much better than some alternatives.

Instead, they form an opinion based on generic distrust for apple and Google, just like no-vax people do it out of generic mistrust for institutions and big pharma.
I think the memory of SARS is a factor in both cases.

China had first hand memory of SARS as a scary illness.

The west mostly thought of SARS as "that thing that mostly stayed in China".

So I guess if there's any good news, it's that for the next one, many more of us will have some frame of reference for how bad it can get.
While i feel similar, be careful what you whish for, because it could also swing the other way, giving imbeciles even more power. Like for example in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Handmaid%27s_Tale_(TV_seri...

I didn't like it that much, but didn't need too much suspension of disbelief to see it as a realistic possibility.

Think of all the televangelists, megachurches, religious fundamentalists and so on. What happens in dire times? People flock to such things. There is no 'rationality" in it, just instinct. Thereby worsening the chance of the outcome you wish for.

I felt the smarter way would be to ridicule these horror clowns as much as possible, so their incompetence would obvious to almost everyone. But somehow that seems to not even matter.

I'm clueless as to why. It does not compute!

Digital Transformation
We hope you everyone in your eco-system is healthy and safe, as we go thru this global pandemic. The TraQiQ team sends healing thoughts to those who have been unwell and impacted in any way.

Our teams have been working for the last few weeks – in the safety of their homes. While there have been infrastructure issues, we have been able to stay on top of our commitments and deliverables.

As a technology and services provider, we must stay on top of technology – we transition to cloud-based solutions for our own operations. It did not take much for us to start working from home. We have been talking to many of our customers about the challenges that they faced, and we have been surprised by the extent of issues that we have seen. So, we thought we would send out a note starting a conversation with many of our customers and partners. This is a great time to start working on building a long-term road map, as we restart and rebuild our current operations.

Digital transformation started with reducing reliance on user owned hardware and increased reliance on subscription-based cloud services. Some of these digital solutions enhance capabilities of traditional software products while others are entirely cloud based.

Transformation is not a check-the-box, one-off project – it’s ongoing. Quick wins are important. However, it is critical to have a roadmap that brings everything to focus.

Technology needs to deliver optimal customer experiences. Customers’ preferences, purchasing power, and loyalty need to be the catalyst that drives any digital transformation strategy with AI providing meaningful insights that motivate companies to change.

Companies must be continuously reinventing their business – with technology at the core – or watch from the sidelines while their market is disrupted by organizations proficient at digital transformation.

The experts at TraQiQ can help build a roadmap and kick-start your journey.

The big question about natural herd immunity is really how far the disease has already spread and what that means for true IFR.

If New York has "survived" this wave tolerably and 20% of people are immune, they may well be a quarter of the way to herd immunity. Which is still a lot of suffering to go, but it's also not going to take 18 months of 200% hospital bed utilization either.
That was a crazy morning.
Probably shouldn't drip gasoline on this smoldering dumpster fire, but pretty much anyone at a high political level that testifies "I can't remember" is probably committing perjury, yes. Oh well.

So basically they said the same thing as the CDC and the NHS? This seems to be something I hear a lot of in the anglosphere, ignoring that the WHO is arguably why things aren't way worse, especially in countries that don't have particularly robust epidemiological systems.

This is a completely new virus that just crossed over from animals at the end of last year, and best practices evolved as everyone learned more, and recommendations evolved based on what they felt they could convince people to do at any specific point in time.

Oh, and you may find this educational. It's about a pandemic preparedness exercise in october of last year https://www.forbes.com/sites/judystone/2019/12/12/how-prepar...
We were not "all unprepared for this".

That's a bullshit line by incompetent politicians who deliberately dismantled the very systems that were put in place to deal with this.

As for warnings: By end of December, the epi community knew something was up. By mid January, there was a pretty loud clamor that we need to address this.By end of January, Covid was a regular occurrence in the intelligence briefing for the president, and the warnings weren't exactly ambiguous. By mid February, anybody who was paying actual attention was preparing one way or another.

As for warning the general public: Bill Gates did a whole song and dance on a TED stage. We had SARS, and Mers, and swine flu.

So, no, we are not "all unprepared". Many closed their eyes and pretended wishing extra-hard makes science go away.

And yes, there's a good chance we'll see another one in our lifetime. As we encroach more and more on animal habitats, it's pretty inevitable. (That, too, is a thing people have been warning about for decades)

Sorry to hijack this thread, can you please give me a keyword or link as to what this type of attack is called?

I have plans to host a domain, so wanted to know what this threat is called. Thanks!
This is really cool! How did you even go about building something like this.
Yeah, there’s so little critical thinking going on in general.

I wish people really tried to understand rather than just give knee-jerk negative responses to go along with their existing world view.

A lot of people are trying to do the right thing and working hard to do good. The cynical HN default response just feels like a lazy way to try and signal intelligence.
My wife had something similar at about that time. I'm curious. Did yours turn into pneumonia within 48 hours? Did you have severe trouble breathing? She's getting the antibody test this week. She had also just been to a meeting with international (especially French) people the week before.

I really appreciate Jeff's "Ansible for DevOps".

It's what got me going in using Ansible. I didn't even finish the book (due to lack of time) or know all the features in the book but I appreciate knowing Ansible whenever I use it.

And his book is the reason I started writing my own ebook. It will never be as good as his but it's been a great experience.
If it was the FDA's fault, you'd see scientists regrowing limbs and testing nano-bots in rats. The FDA actually has a great system of emergency and compassionate use authorizations that allow early testing of experimental drugs and devices. These systems came into place because of a long history of medical disasters: see thalidomide, Elixir sulfanilamide, and so many more.
Yep, I think this is quite right. In fact my first thought after seeing this guy self-identify was "welp, that guy's getting fired"
Not exactly.
Some hundreds of patients were thought to have gotten rid of the virus during hospital stay and treatment and sent home after confirming through RT-PCR tests. But they were found to be covid+ve afterwards. Studies indicated that the +ve tests were 'likely' from the genetic material that lingered from the first infection and not from re-infection.
https://www.livescience.com/coronavirus-reinfections-were-fa...
However, they do not declare that you cannot get re-infected two months down the line or two years down the line. We don't have that information about immunity yet.
This makes me wish I posted a few years ago when I first started at a FAANG. I was fresh out of college and worked on an email product which was in an area I was interested but quickly learned how enterprise software is actually made. There is one interesting part which is the core and that’s the MVP. Working in this stage is exciting and fun to make and then there are years and years of slog smoothing out the edges and making it ready for production, which left me similarly disillusioned especially when my view of the real world fresh out of college was that every product that exists is interesting and perfect. Long story short, I worked on that boring project for two-ish years and saw the horrible political environment begin to deteriorate my once-ok team. I say once-ok because I convinced myself during that time that I liked my work because by all measures of society, I was successful, and having no knowledge of other teams I didn’t think there was an alternative. This was all I ever knew and thought every team in tech is like this. Which for the most part is actually true. Despite what Google and other big tech companies’ flashy recruiting and marketing, something like 99% of the engineers in those companies are doing boring shit to keep the money flowing . I also went through the exact same thought process where I thought my spirit had been drained and I could never get the excitement back because of this realization. I also often wondered if I had been permanently changed because of the experience and thought I would never feel creative again. However I made a big decision and took the leap to join a new team and couldn’t have landed in an environment that is more the polar opposite. And that is what gave me my spirit back. You need to find a product in a FAANG, or startup that you actually are passionate about and get to grow your own team and that will give you your passion back. Find a position which is an exact match for your skills and do not settle at all. If a position is not perfect do not even consider it and ask as many probing questions as you need and contact current members of the team to check for inconsistencies. Good luck and I hope you can find another project that brings you passion.
Why is there no (d,n) grid for Hilbert's Tenth Problem?
It's impossible to tell just from imaging a month or two down the road how "permanent" damage is. Yes, it's concerning. But we also don't know that it can't heal in time. Just because it looks like things we "know" on a CT doesn't mean we know how it acts long term.

Before you downvote me, think about all the reports of people with VERY low oxygen saturation that "shouldn't be" alert, talking, and feeling ok. That goes against everything we "know" as well, but it's very real for this disease.
So they don't have to travel as far for their congressional hearings?
I wonder how much of the decision was based on pressure from Oculus. Especially if Oculus were appearing to be a bit more relaxed about 3rd party market places... it seems like a pretty juicy carrot to hang in front of SideQuest.
Institutions earned their current distrust.
Hmm. If this had a ~14" display in roughly the current chassis size then it would be an instant buy for me. Now I'm not sure - is the 14" still happening? Or should I go for this one?
It’s difficult to truly measure the outcome of this sort of promotion in completely new market conditions such as those we’re currently experiencing. I run a retail business on the side (still work full time) and sales have more than doubled during the pandemic with no other changes to incentivize it. I’ve been selling the same product for 1.5 years, so I have a good idea of what an average month looks like.

Could be that people are spending more time online and therefore shopping. Could be that people are spending more time with their hobbies (it’s a product for musicians). Could be people spending their stimulus checks. Could be a number of other factors.

My point is that’s it’s probably unwise to draw conclusions from data which was gathered in an unprecedented market, and its best to wait for market stability before running promotional trials.
You can’t buy an empty seat. For instance, if you want to buy the middle seat to ensure it is empty, they won’t let you. At least they wouldn’t prior to this year.

Agreed-- it's particularly egregious since intranet resources will just fail to resolve entirely in many cases (it has no graceful fallback to system DNS as far as I can tell).
You write as if your point of view is not only universal but absolute. I don’t think that is the case.
> moral responsibility of the disease lies in China

Is there a another opinion on this? It's where the virus originated (Lab created or from eating a bat or even US military doing it - whatever you are opting to believe) in November 2019 and it took them until late Jan 2020 to say that there's human to human transmission despite their own doctors warning and telling the world earlier than that (and they were silenced)
They used incredibly sketchy, and probably illegal, marketing tactics aimed at minors: https://arstechnica.com/science/2019/09/juul-gave-presentati...
I don't disagree at all, I was just trying to find some parallels in law where someone who enables someone else to commit a crime by doing something otherwise innocuous under specific conditions is then held liable. This is the closest thing I could come up with.

My most recent treatment of ocrelizumab was ~$64k, which I have to get twice a year. It's not much more expensive than a lot of the other disease-modifying therapies for my condition.
This is a concern of mine as well. I like having some semblance of control of what connections my personally owned devices are making to the outside world. As soon as that becomes opaque, and normalized, who knows what data leaks there will be? Given what advertising companies and malicious app developers already try to get away with when it's visible (to motivated technical folks), the opportunities / possibilities are scary.
