Like everything that Mozilla did for the last decade or so this is far more likely to produce false choices than actual alternatives.
I'd agree with you if "open source" was an OSI trademark, but I'm fairly sure it isn't. While some languages have an official authority for proper usage of general words and phrases, English doesn't. Words in English are defined by their users, and often can have multiple simultaneous definitions that are linguistically correct. Given this, OSI's authority over the definition of "open source" is solely in their ability to convince others.

We do have organizations that observe the actual usage of words and attempt to capture their use descriptively. Here's a fairly well-regarded source: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/open-sou...

It is inaccurate to call someone a "liar" for something that falls into the realm of opinion.
The teams also asked whether people who haven’t been infected with SARS-CoV-2 also produce cells that combat it. Thiel and colleagues analyzed blood from 68 uninfected people and found that 34% hosted helper T cells that recognized SARS-CoV-2. The La Jolla team detected this crossreactivity in about half of stored blood samples collected between 2015 and 2018, well before the current pandemic began. The researchers think these cells were likely triggered by past infection with one of the four human coronaviruses that cause colds; proteins in these viruses resemble those of SARS-CoV-2.

If this is confirmed, this strikes me as something that could be a big deal. Interested to hear virologists and immunologists chime in on this.
I don't believe UberEats engaged in this practice of fake online presence of local restaurants. They also did not reduce payment to drivers when customers tip, unlike DoorDash.
You can’t have your users “Load Unpacked...”? That always works for me.
> slavery was common in the past but it was "race-blind".

I doubt that past peoples who violently discriminated based on culture, religion, language, accent, clothing, etc., stopped short of looks and race.
I think this is more or less true. Present them as a tool to your team. Walk them through it for a week or three, maybe. If they don't want to keep doing it then one of 1) they don't want/need them, or 2) you have been bad at running/presenting standups, and in either case you don't need to be pushing them on the developers anymore.
Completely agree. Back in the before-before time when I would go to an office, the walk in to work was always a great chance to consume some interesting content.
> What these companies are doing is definitely misleading but I don't think anyone is accidentally purchasing from Applebees thinking they were getting Saddleback BBQ.

That is exactly what is happening. Say Saddleback isn't open on Tuesdays. Boom, that visitor now sees a long list of BBQ joints to order from that can still be delivered. Since they are in the mood for BBQ clearly, they are going to order from Uncle Bucks BBQ instead.
Yep, great perspective. We can apply it to Amazon and Netflix next, then the platforms where we get information - search results, news, social media, etc.
That may have been the case previously, but is not my understanding of the current state. At least in California, Tests are readily available and anyone who wants one can have one.
I think you're mistaken, since WFH gained massive adoption due to the COVID-19 outbreak. It's also what I believe he's referring to by, "Yeah, it won't last forever." I don't appreciate the downvote either for a reasonable comment.
Well basically I agree. I even tweeted about it https://twitter.com/chamILYAn/status/1215680803608285184 earlier this year. The situation is they are being robotic. Iv'e always thought the last thing anyone should automate is support. Maybe a company the size of Google could do it but version 1 isn't working. It's not quite completely automated. I believe they have someone behind the response clicking on a selection of a set of possibilities and there isn't a way to turn it off.
They can also see that you use Discord, as well as how often and how heavily. And potentially other facets that can be derived from whatever metadata is provided to Facebook in the course of serving that image request.

There's also all kinds of shenanigans that they can play in the process of serving that request to harvest other meta data and help fingerprint you. Which Giphy's privacy policy mentions is already done to an extent, in the form of dropping cookies while servicing your request. Cookie abuse itself is a bit of a losing battle, as browser vendors increasingly layer on limitations and restrictions for cookies. But they're far from the only method of fingerprinting possible during the servicing of a web request.
How is Google diversified? Outside of Cloud they make money almost exclusively with ad revenue from Google and YT
The story of the crypto support journey may illuminate pain points that could be solved by a clever integrator. It's worth knowing even if the answer remains the same.
I actually think Math, as it is taught now in US public schools, is taught better than any of the other topics. Why? Because there is a standard progression from one year to the next and the supporting tools/software are more refined than the related tools/software for Science, History, and English.
This is meaningless. Information is information. Specifying a size has virtually no information. The number "638" stored in uint16 has two bits of information using any word size between 8 and 15 bits.
Tunnels are perhaps the only "no stopping" situation where there is nowhere to pull over. Luckily, tunnels are also the absolute simplest self-driving scenario.

Tunnels have to kept clear of obstacles. If an SDC would have to stop, so would a human-driven car.

For the others, stopped cars are very common.
It does. Especially since there are a lot of hackers in the world who can articulate the same ideas better and with less racism.
I think you can do balloons as local coop?
90% of people who tested positive for Covid-19 in Mission District could not WFH
Maybe not single a distro, but consolidate? yes.
Only DoorDash and Instacart did this. UberEats never did.

> As DoorDash grew to become the biggest on-demand food delivery app in the country, it began doing something unconventional with customers’ tips: It used them mostly to subsidize its payments to delivery workers.

I disagree. Obviously if they're async we should please stop calling them "standups" but they can still fulfill some of the goals of a standup.

You want a way to voice your status, hear other's statuses, hear blockers, and reduce duplicated effort. You can do all this with short, daily, async updates. The synchronous fashion of the standup is mostly a factor of verbal communication, not a feature.

Standups are usually partially async as items that arise should be dealt with outside of the meeting.

It still needs to be daily and time gated such that the team can consistently read everyone's status.

Forcing the team to pay attention is probably harder in an async conversation chain than a meeting but I don't think ineffective is correct.
Well generally speaking you're just describing a search problem: I have this data, what operations can I perform on it? Hypothetically you could do something like if I type a keycode after a variable it lists functions that can be run on it. Its just a tooling thing not really a language design thing.
Oh, my company has been there. Our DNS was blacklisted because someone spoofed our emails via GoDaddy. Well, Google blocked the DNS IP, and any emails we sent or tried to receive went into the ether. We also had #1 search results go missing because of it, a nightmare it was.

I've since resolved the issue, lord did that take a chunck of our traffic away. Government bodies also could not access us, which hurt a lot!
Get Tampermonkey, I suppose.
This is a fundamental problem on the internet. Ram is so cheap that every device has too big buffers that don’t allow for proper TCP back pressure. Eric Raymond gave a talk on this a few years ago. He was going to distribute a lot of small embedded devices around the world to measure this to try to address it. I’m curious what happened to that effort.
Podcasts are nice but for me definitively not comparable to Wikipedia for how I use them at least.

Podcasts: bring people of knowledge to talk about subjects.

Wikipedia: Brings the end result of all the talking to one written place.
Here is Gusto’s page on worker’s compensation:

https://support.gusto.com/state-registration-compliance/comp...

All 50 states have a different process. Many require you to get a private policy but some have state run funds.

As an example, I have to deal with my insurance agent annually for my worker’s compensation in California and then deal with Washington separately for their scheme.
There's a third use: if you want a free ride, AWS free tier for DynamoDB is quite nice, enough to run a decent dynamic website.
1. No, it is not. Chromium relies on binaries as well as calling Google's web services whose code you cannot read. That is why ungoogled-chromium is a thing

2. Not sure what your point is here. Mozilla needs to make money to maintain and improve its advocacy work

3. See point 1. You don't own or control Google's web services nor its domains therefore you have no full control of the build process if Google decides to shut down its services. If you want to see what community owned means, I suggest you look at the Python community. No hidden binaries or mysterious calls to corporate web services

4. Google's goal is to make money, Mozilla is to keep an open web. Obviously, Google has potential business conflicts while Mozilla doesn't, Mozilla wins even if it dies as long as the web is kept open, Google wins if it makes money full stop

You simply cannot compare them. Just look at Chrome in a fully Google-owned environment (Android), it does not even have extensions.
How to choose a reaction gif:

1. Type a couple words relevant to the topic or your feelings on the topic into a gif search engine.

2. Pick whichever gif suits the context best.

3. Watch as everyone thinks you're super clever.

------

I mean, I get it. Most people just want funny pictures, and I love sharing memes with friends. But something about reaction gifs just boils my blood. I'm very, very bothered by them. If someone posts a relevant comment, or video: great. If there's something really clever about the reaction gif: good job. But most of the time it's just kind of related, and not really a discussion at all. Or worst of all, a "wow" "lol" or "wtf" expressing funny face.
Why do you feel that? Being old doesn't somehow invalidate results.
> Workloads w/ serverless compute (aka Lambda) due to how well it fits with the connection model, provisioning model, etc.

This is only true for AWS. Azure functions share resources and don't have this issue.

The speed is actually quite sad. Its 5-10x slower than my other databases at p95, and I can't throw money at the problem on the write side. Reads I can use DAX, but then there goes consistency.
I remember one of the online British banks writing up a whole detailed post on how they knew exactly who has been stealing money from them.

They wrote up all of their information and sent it to the police who came back with: "Yeah, thanks. Here's the thing: this is non-violent crime and the total amount stolen is less than GBP 100,000" (don't remember the exact number but something thereabouts).

People like to think that the police are salivating for every crime that could come through the door. More realistically, they are an overworked group with less resources than they need to tackle and or solve many of the cases they are presented with.

Plus, just like you, they have to prioritize their work based on various dimensions of incentives such as what looks good to their boss, what is hard vs easy etc. For example, do you tackle the case that is small and easy to close with not a lot of publicity or the big case that may be harder to close but will net big wins in the PR budget?
DNS filtering is a very crude form of content blocking. It’s a supplement, not a replacement. Have a look at uMatrix for an example of heavy machinery. See also CSS-based blockers like Shut Up (or mixed blockers like ABP that include CSS-based rules), which are completely impossible on the network layer.

Also, content blocking is just one example. There are other legit use cases of the all sites permission: Tampermonkey, Stylus, password managers, any kind of web clipper, trivial things like Don’t Fuck with Paste, auto refresh, user agent switcher, etc. The list is endless.
I think transitions are cool the first few times I see them, but eventually I just want to get work done. I'll take a fast UI over a pretty one any day. The only transitions I want in a tool are the ones that help my mind follow what's happening. But that help has to outweigh any additional latency caused by having to wait for the transition to finish.
Not the person you're responding to but there are plenty of HN native app clients, if that's what you're getting at.

On my mobile I never access HN via the website, I use one of those apps.
> These acts, in turn, have sparked calls for administration opponents to be more civil.

> American Christian religious leaders urging Jews to "appeal to the German sense of justice and German national conscience" rather than "baiting Hitler and trying to fight back," and Jews would be better served if they showed "good-will" towards the Nazis rather than "hate."

I don't necessarily agree with the idea(s)/opinion(s) presented in the article, or the comparisons, but I do appreciate discourse that attempts to put forward an idea/opinion tactfully & thoughtfully. I think everyone is better served to understand/hear/read/listen to other points of view.

That being said, if your article had opened with lines such as:

> Chaos Monkey President

> Like all grifter/carnival barkers

I don't know that it would have gotten the point across as well as it did. However, given how upvoted the comment I replied to appears to be, perhaps I am in the minority.
This makes sense for developers, but what about BAs and product owners that then have to attend 3-4 stand-ups a day? This seems like a nice way to give them a high-level view of what's going on, as well as for the rest of the team.
Sure, but I'm not in Lansing (or anywhere near it). And both an incognito and logged-in search give me the same thing for the search query in the article. I'm not talking about the contents of the map sidebar; I'm talking about the big "Saddleback BBQ |" link in the main results and its children.

While it's true I do not see the ad (probably because I'm outside the targeting area), even with the screenshots shown in the article, there are two order buttons on the page that deep-link to Saddleback and one ad link. Their complaint seems to be "The ad is more eye-catching than [ed: one of] our order links"... Yes, but it's also flagged as clearly an [AD].
There's a distinction to make between "the web is successful" and "the web has made humans successful". We've paid a tremendous privacy and security cost, and a loss of control over our online lives.
> Talk to your team. Give a shit about what they're doing. Care about your work. Care about your project.

If you go to the original agile manifesto, it’s basically just this. It’s consciously against packaged, branded solutions.

I’m fond of Scrum. The most coherent and comfortable jobs I’ve had used Scrum. Also one of the worst (in terms of productivity) tried it too. It seems to me that the overall system can be a problem, but it wont be the whole story. Sometimes the client/product/management sides of things lead to counter-productive work. Sometimes developers silo themselves, or think too much about their code and not enough about the product & users. Sometimes the product sucks.

It seems to me the hardest bit is defining, scoping and agreeing the units of work, appropriate to the size of team and aims of the product. If you get this wrong, the product will suffer. It takes some input from everyone to get this part right, and you can make it work with any system, branded or not. It’s just hard. I’m not saying you need reps from all departments in all your meetings, I’m saying you need everyone to work within and around the framework in a way that gets the product made.

EDIT: type.
Viruses can linger in the body and "hide" waiting for immune system to weaken.

This is how people get shingles many decades later after chicken-pox, it's the same virus, just hid in nerve cells and spinal cord.
It's interesting that the "Environment" section mentions this in passing:

> Food comes mainly from packets or tins [...] There is a daily bread bake, and special occasions merit the thawing of a small amount of meat from a -20 C. freezer or from an ice cave in the nearby glacier.

Then in the "Discussion" section:

> The occurrence of a common cold during isolation, when the chances of introduction of new infection from the outside are virtually nil, implies that in some way virus persisted, either in the environment or in the men

It then goes on to suggest animal reservoirs as a potential cause, as well as inanimate objects and that a virus "might have persisted in the respiratory tract of one or more men".

But one of these packets of meat being opened and thawed isn't mentioned as a potential cause. I could find a couple of papers claiming that viruses survive for months or even years in food. Mystery most likely solved without the need for hitherto unknown or unlikely transmission vectors.

That seems to me to obviously be the most likely cause. Someone sneezed on or otherwise contaminated a packet of meat that was then frozen and thawed months later.

These people aren't truly "isolated" in the sense that they're going through a continual process of opening time frozen time capsules from the past.

One of the papers that cite this one (published in the same year) discusses such "time capsule" effects, although not with food, but from opening presents kept in storage, unpacking stored clothing etc.[1]

I live in northeast Alabama currently, in a rural area, well outside any metropolitan area. Now, I can't speak to private schools; I don't have kids.

As far as airports go, there are two connector airports about an hour away, to the northeast and west, and a major hub two hours east. (As it turns out, even when I've lived in major metropolitan areas, I've never been closer than an hour to an airport.)

There are two regional hospitals relatively close (plus trauma helicopters if you need that sort of thing). Then there are major hospitals an hour west, plus Birmingham and Nashville---both of which I've known people to go to for specialized care.

I honestly don't know what you mean by "high infrastructure recreation"; if it's outdoor sporting and recreation, it's as good here as anywhere (and fishing is better than most).

There is a dearth of bars and live-music venues, but then I didn't partake of those even when I had easy access.

So, when you write "And of course by moving outside a greater metro area, you're also saving money by choosing not to consume any amenities of private schools, airports, large hospitals, high infrastructure recreation, etc." you seem to have a very wrong idea of life outside a "greater metro area", one that is either extremely naive or deliberately insulting.

And I'm not irritated, just cranky.
A lot of news is just factual information such as weather events, earthquakes, sports scores, or who won an election. Spin is more about filling time and attracting eyeballs.

Consider, if you’re summarizing what news events where actually relevant to you over the last month, how long would it take?
The funny thing is that a single module inclusion in a traditional link based website will deliver all of this predictive preloading for you. One line of code.

Which debunks one of the critical advantages of an SPA.

The other is transitions. Which are never implemented because it's just too damn hard. Instead you get a spinner, 17 API requests (instead of 1 Ajax request), and a giant fragment of the DOM replaced whilst you lose your scroll position.
4th Place Solution to Python Speed Coding Challenge
So I went on a bit of a rabbit hole on this one. The above code is wrong. I have since fixed it. It's the same idea with some added terms to normalize for data size.

Word size matters when calculating entropy. Calculating entropy on this file using 2 to 64 bits nets a minimum information of 860 bits using a 64 bit word size. Moving past a 64 bit word size requires rethinking some things. MATLAB doesn't have great support for data sizes greater than 64 bits (and I'm certain the performance impact would be great).

words = double(unique(X))';
binEdges = [words-0.5; words+0.5];
binEdges = unique(binEdges(:));
P = histcounts(X, binEdges) / M;
P(P == 0) = [];
M = numel(X);
H = -sum(P .* log(P) ./ log(max([nBits, 2]))) / nBits * log2(max([nBits, 2]));
E = H * M * nBits;
The problem ia not vibration or heat, it is power off while data is being written.

The default rpi os writes to disk all the time, there is even syslog with periodic messages. I bet your oil company uses read-only root, or at least a customized os which does not log things unless it has to.
I see... and how do you think that the "minerals" are "leached from the body" exactly?
VMware's entire strategy at the moment appears to be hybrid/multi-cloud and Kubernetes.

If you can't do that already (and I'm fairly certain you can), you shouldn't have to wait much longer -- as this "partnership" and their others e.g., with AWS) illustrate.

I think you may be overstating the legal standard. I believe the bar is “creates confusion in the marketplace” rather than “misleading”. A customer clicking a link for $Restaurant and being taken to a page of competing restaurants may or may not be misleading but I definitely think its confusing. Every consumer who clicks that link expects $Restaurant’s page or a page dedicated to $Restaurant and doesn’t get it.
Especially hard to get the courts involved if the claimants are in other countries.

About the best you could hope for is if a person can be shown to be acting in bad faith they could have all of their takedowns reversed and the material in question flagged so that further takedown notices trigger an audit. In practice this might just mean making a new account for each takedown notice, but it does raise the bar a bit on bad behavior.

I'd also assume big media cartels would be exempt because operating in bad faith is their entire business plan and they're willing to sue to maintain the status quo.
I remember visiting some PeerTube sites and being turned off by the UI. But it looks like there has been some significant improves and pageload speeds are super fast. Glad to see it making progress.

Peertube should partner with Patreon or a similar service for premium content. And hopefully more major Youtube content creators link to it in their video descriptions and other social media platforms.

Vimeo carved out their own niche with more professional content creators. Any Youtube competitor will have to find a few niches in order to seed their initial user base.
