But what if I want to seriously claim that the communists, and specifically the Chinese communists, are bandits (or at least thugs), not based on the Taiwanese using it as a slur, but because of their actions?

I recognize that slurs are outside of polite discourse. But not everything that anyone uses as a slur should be off-limits for serious discussion.

Is profiling actually a good answer to that question? Profiling is very useful for improving the performance of software under a particular workload, but unless you have very good non-anonymized telemetry anything other than trying to get more information about the customer's situation is going to be a wild goose chase. I would definitely start with talking to the customer to get more details, and ideally observe the customer using the app before I got anywhere near a profiler.

Also my third downturn. The thing is, during the second downturn, I thought "We'll probably make it through this one okay, but it'll fatally weaken the system such that the next one may be the final one." We're at the next one now.

Most of the issues I identified in 2009-2011 haven't really been addressed, and if anything have gotten worse. My thesis was that by bailing out the financial system, the government couple trust in the government with trust in the banks. The banking system was saved, but the price of this was that a large section of America gave up trust in America.

Nothing has been done to restore that. If anything, it's gotten worse, with the Snowden disclosures, increasing media polarization, the election of Donald Trump, the impeachment procedures, and handling of coronavirus. Then add rising income inequality, inflation in critical need-to-live goods (health care, housing, and food), political polarization and tribalism, increasing publicity around the misdeeds of certain sectors (tech) that were considered the few bright lights in the American economy, skyrocketing national debt (which will increasingly tempt the federal government to monetize it), and decreasing economic and physical mobility, and you have a powder keg.

My sense is that this is the start of something bigger, and that we're going to get a series of cascading failures until eventually we get a collapse of critical monetary or government infrastructure.
If you haven't unsubbed from the default subs by now, you're missing out. Reddit is best experienced in subs with under 100k subs.
Snowdrift.coop is a crowdfunding platform specifically for free/libre/open (FLO) public goods -- freely-licensed software, music, journalism, research, etc. It's based on a new funding mechanism we call Crowdmatching, where patrons pledge to support projects with a monthly donation proportional to the number of others making the same pledge ($1 per 1000 patrons).

We operate as a non-profit cooperative. The site itself is free software, written in Haskell (yesod) and we've also tried to stick with FLO tooling whenever possible, although we made an exception for hosting our source code, which is at https://gitlab.com/snowdrift/snowdrift

Of course, as a free software project, we suffer from the same funding issues we're trying to solve. The project is currently a 100% volunteer effort, and we're making slow (but nonzero!) progress towards our initial launch, when we start hosting our first outside projects.

One of our biggest bottlenecks right now is developer bandwidth. We have a handful of updated designs that address UX issues with the live site, and need to get them implemented -- if you know css, haskell, or both, we'd appreciate help!

I'm heading to bed now but will check in with this thread in the morning; you can also reach out on our discourse forum (<https://community.snowdrift.coop>), irc/matrix (#snowdrift on freenode; #snowdrift:matrix.org), or gitlab.
Chrome’s market share would drop if extension authors moved to an alternative.

Being white has advantages, that's true.

Being black can also have advantages (affirmative action).

But no one uses "black privilege". Because everyone is aware that most of the blacks are, in sum, more disadvantaged compared to median citizen.

Some of the whites are also more disadvantaged. If I were one of them, i would be equally repulsed by "white privilege"
However I see the new features in this particular demo as a game changer in many practical ways other than just eyecandy:

- Realtime dynamic GI makes baking lights unnecessary, increasing iteration time for environment artists.

- Also using this dynamic GI it is possible to create new gameplay mechanics based on dynamic lighting (for example in the demo the roof of the cave falls down and the area becomes lit, making more things visible)

- The new animation system makes developers able to create natural motions that automatically adjust to the environment, which would also save a lot of developer time.

- The demo explanation video mentions that the statue model assets are imported directly from ZBrush without any postprocessing (with the original triangle count, without baking any normal maps/LODs), which also saves time for artists importing their work to Unreal (although the file size costs might probably be a bit high to practically use this in every scenario)
For the purposes of my curiosity, do you have a list? I'm wondering if those states actually include a majority of Americans.

It's part of the bizarro "privilege" narratives. In their framework, if you deny the existence of your privilege, you are proving you have it even more, because only a "privileged" person is capable of ignoring the concept of privileged/unprivileged
I guess my point is, if you're this unhinged that your end game is just doing whatever you want, surely it's going to fall to pieces eventually.

One can't control all circumstance, even if you're in-charge of the ultimate surveillance state. You can't surveillance away suddenly dying of a brain hemorrhage. In-fact, you'd be more likely to die in this case due to the fact you've not probably created a less honest, collaborative world where you'd have less bias an evidence based medical research occurring.

Being in-charge of a surveillance state seems like it's only good for the first half of the states life, until things like what happened in Wuhan recently occur, the coverups and lies catch up to the great leaders eventually.
That is not in the slightest what the Republicans argued.

> ... all of this is consistent with an extension that should be kicked off the app store within 14 days.

No, it absolutely isn't. You can't take someone's livelihood off the app store within 14 days when they have every interest in complying with your policy but you just don't feel the need to even tell them what all the policy is. The fact it was approved in the first place is Google's fault, not the app developer, so is totally irrelevant to this saga.

If you can hit the Reject button you can fill in a text box that says why. There's no excuse for that.

This statement reflects the writers' large ego, not reality. It's a shame how this point of view is prominent in the scientific community. I've seen similar rude statements from academic scientists who say that working in R&D at a corporation isn't "real science".

"For political views" is what they want you to think, but it was actually for threatening, harassing, and abusive behaviour, and for the mods of the sub in question not dealing with the problem.

Anyone pushing the "political views" story knows that, of course.
No. However, the original Unreal game had some well known demosceners providing the music.

- Andrew Sega in particular was a particularly famous scene musician who went under the name "Necros" and is about as legendary as you can get for people who weren't part of the Future Crew team who made Unreal.

- Alexander Brandon (Siren) is still in the game industry and has done soundtracks for a ton of really well known games such as Jazz Jackrabbit.

- Daniel Gardopée went by Basehead and was part of FM and the KFMF demo groups (both big deals at the time) and I think is still in gaming.

- Michiel van den Bos (MCA) is the only non-American scener (Dutch) who provided music and is also still in gaming.

At the time it was kind of funny and completely cool to fire up Unreal and hear some well known Necros, Basehead, and Siren songs in the game which had been circulating in BBS and early demoscene ftp sites for a while.

> That's the thing I'm sympathetic to - having fixed the bug, it's frustrating that it's not clear what the next steps are.

So I can import using the URL "https://somekind.com/ofpackage.ts", that's great but what if that random endpoint changes?

The benefit of NPM is that every package version is immutable...

Also first class Typescript support is great, but they are just using tsc internally... isn't that directly tying a typescript version to the DENO version?

There is not much at the federal level and each state does its own thing. California does it better than most. There is a state disability insurance payed through payroll deductions that give up to 52 weeks of coverage and "provides short-term benefits to eligible workers who have a full or partial loss of wages due to a non-work-related illness, injury, or pregnancy." If you qualify it is 52 weeks of coverage. I believe you would qualify if you actually have COVID19 and have to isolate but I don't they will cover you if you are just scared of getting sick.

Also most people with good paying jobs will additionally have private short term and long term disability coverage through their employer. I know someone who had unbearable back pain who had to quit his job and the private long term insurance will cover him for 20 years till he reaches retirement. And if structured right, there are no taxes on this income.

Lower paying job may not provide the private disability benefits so many rely on the social security long term disability benefit but that is not as good as the private one and they are pretty strict in evaluating.
It's more the entertainment industry in this case.

I guess it would depend on the JS engine. If the player is the one writing JS, and you want a scaled down environment (since it's not an app in the browser), probably making your own JS parser/engine could be the way to go? You'd want the JS engine to be inside the game engine somehow.

:facepalm:

And their reason is because their code is currently Python 2. To avoid some manual code refactoring to support Python 3, they shall rewrite in an entirely different language. So they'll train their entire programming staff in Go and task these new inexperienced Go programmers to do a straight port of their code base from one highly opinionated language to a different highly opinionated language.

They've certainly done an excellent job enumerating all of the very lucrative benefits of a Go rewrite, while ignoring or hand-waving away any of the challenges. It all screams version 2 syndrome.

Who knows, maybe this is a great move for them. I’m only going on their blog post about it. But at minimum they've done a poor job communicating how they've looked at this challenge objectively and without rose-tinted glasses.
Makes me wonder how much of this is motivated by Googles Messages App now having a web interface...
I'm new to physics and in no way a professional. Here's my thought process work in progress:

- Boltzman defined entropy with probability. I think of a soup can. Inside, collisions with either the wall or each other, or not at all. When colliding with the wall, you get the temperature and pressure needed to keep them separate.

- Planck took this and showed why nothing happens when the lights go out on a room full of dark pots and pans. Newton's Law of Cooling said one should glow white hot and every other one gets darker. Planck used Boltzman to say you need to build up a little energy before you change color.

- Einstein took Planck's work and said you have a start, you have an end, you have a particle, a photon. Slowing down and spinning up your clock is a medium of heat transfer just the same as conductive surfaces or convective mediums. The photon hits an entire object at once, not just one spot, that's why energy level matters over intensity and can describe everything in photons and photoelectricicty.

- Other scientists looked at this and said you are either throwing beach balls at a brick wall, and don't know if the brick wall is moving towards you at a thousandth of an inch a century. Or you're throwing a medicine ball to someone on roller skates. You push them back so you know they stopped still, but just don't know where.

- Bohr took this to model the atom for orbitals. Here you need a full number of cycles for something to exist.

- Pauli showed that the electron has spin on it's own. Spin produces magnetism. Magnetism is the atom looking for an electron not just up the conductive chain but everywhere, so an exchange of photons.

- Shannon brought more abstraction in terms of entropy as available choices

When I think of the atom, I think of what's needed on the inside to make the outside exist. I think of a hollowed golf ball with dimples, or a sphere made of sticks all connected at the center. The surface can move, the inside makes it happen. Put two next to each other, they can get closer or farther away based on how that surface moves.

For string theory, I visualize a flat sheet of graph paper. Behind it, a point can have a something coming off of it that whips all the way across the page.

I would like to think of the atom as nothing material. Instead one way of many to push back on everything that already exists. So particles are quite significant and more than an abstraction to me.

I would like to see what happens when matter waves go in orbit. Can we make information satellites out of molecules? Inside that diameter, can we spontaneous generate something?

> What stops a malicious actor for triggering the API in a dev or jailbroken environment?

Server side authentication stops this.

Sure a jailbroken device can call whatever local APIs they want, but to have a non-local effect you have to update some centralized server where the list of infected keys/users is stored for downloading by other devices. Given that, it's straightforward for the server to require some admin-level credential specific to their service.

The source of truth for covid-19 positive devices/keys is still centralized and gatekept by each state/national agency's contract tracing service. (But identity/location info isn't centralized)
Agreed, the fact that we ignore so many gruesome vehicle fatalities is doing society no favors. The nation has been designed for cars from the ground up, but if we had been more privy to their risks, perhaps we would have built more pedestrian focused cities instead, and more emphasis on robust mass transit solutions.

All of these examples provided immense benefit to consumers and immense benefit to sellers.

Food delivery really doesn't provide an immense benefit to consumers, and restaurants don't get enough real business through it to justify its cost.

On one hand, if the food is too local, people will just say "I'll just pick it up myself and save the ridiculous fee." If it's too far away, the food will take forever and will likely be cold anyway. This is why pizza delivery was always local - it is one of the few places where delivery makes sense, and the fees were low, like 1 buck. So there's a small range where it's just far enough to be inconvenient but close enough that the food is still relatively good, which in most cases doesn't exist.

On top of that, you need to pay money to the driver. It's just a whole lot of overhead for very little gain.

On the title, I think we've had some crossed signals. I explained in detail how I would have gone about editing it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23172812. I've gone ahead and changed the title now.

That's just a surface problem though. The root problem was perhaps this particular article was so much on the advocacy side that it became hard to tell to what degree this was a high-signal story for HN. Maybe this sounds weird to you, but if you saw the myriads of such articles that get posted here, you'd probably have the same issue—either that or you'd be fine with HN turning into an advocacy site. It's in the interests of such sites to have as many such articles as possible, and to make them as dramatic as possible. That's fine, it's their job, but it's HN's job to try to filter those for the unusually significant ones, as I've been trying unsuccessfully to explain.

> But is it more or less anti-social than running a huge software platform that advertises the ways to exploit itself?

Security through obscurity is no security at all. Google is not doing its user a favor by hiding the criteria it uses to determine whether an extension is malicious or not. Also, just because Google won't publish the criteria, it does not mean that it can't be discovered by someone with enough determination. I think that a malicious actor is more likely to spend the necessary time and effort to do so than a developer who is more interested in creating an extension that will serve its users well. If anything, these types of policies drive away developers who act in good faith and leave the marketplace with more developers who are looking to exploit the users.
I'm writing in rust, but am happy to deal with linking whatever runtime will work best for this.

I have security concerns about all the lua runtimes I've seen. They (very understandably) do not seem to be particularly battle tested against malicious use, and they have a history of security issues when I check their bugs list. Otherwise I'd love to use lua.
