Yeah, I always tell people to beware of hosts who cancel on their guests. You can easily see if they do, by looking at the reviews. Whenever a host cancels on a guest an automated review is posted that says "This host canceled a reservation X days before the stay." If I see that, I move on to a better host.
I've found that Golden and Amsterdam have good options for CMYK process colors available as acrylic inks, and these work well within refillable acrylic markers from Montana, Molotow, et al.

One caveat to the acrylic inks for a CMYK process is that they need to be really thinned down with an acrylic medium in order to get the proper transparency to achieve red, green, and blue.
For sure, the physics once she starts rock climbing are horrific and super uncanny.

Forearms need to be parallel to the gravity vector almost all the time. Arms need to be kept straight almost all the time. The only exceptions for these are the actual top of a motion to move up to the next hold.

All stuff you would never notice if the graphics weren't amazing.

I think I'm so used to seeing unrealistic pony tails and clothes I don't even notice.

Gee, maybe this is a thing that should be part of what a restaurant does, with costs baked into their operating budget!

Nah, I’m sure there’s enough money in this for it to be worth an entire publicly-traded corporation with stockholders to keep happy and immense amounts of VC to pay back.

Oh, no, they can’t? Well. Bye, I guess. Good luck collapsing the company behind you to avoid being on the hook for all that VC you blew through, guys! Enjoy your market correction.
One of the biggest mistakes I constantly see is that they require an email for you to even see the product or what it does. All this leads to is me never seeing your product. I'm sure you spent a lot of time on it, but I get too much spam as it is. I don't need more just to figureout what you're trying to sell me. I mean, that's your job: to sell to me.

It honestly amazes me how often I see this. No screenshots or even a description. Maybe a line or two and the page looks mostly like an email scraper. SELL ME YOUR PRODUCT.

I use lastpass to generate passwords and save my credentials to use on websites/apps. While for many sites I will never use the site again, in some cases after some time I find myself back on a site I had registered on before.

It may be because the site has added new features or it could be because my condition has changed. (I would like to say I came back because of the work that the website owners did in marketing/new features etc).

The general idea of "please limit the permissions you request", maybe. The secrecy about what they don't like isn't part of that, that's just Google's preference for keeping things vague.
I'm not sure why you've been downvoted. Traffic-aware traffic lights are generally implemented using induction loops built into the road surface: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_loop

Today, many have cameras for other reasons. But this is not ubiquitous and the prevalence of these cameras varies from location to location. Many traffic lights don't have cameras (many don't even have induction loops, and work off timers instead.)
There's a researcher, Ethan Bernstein, who has looked into this quite a bit and has some great stories about the ways close monitoring can (sometimes) go sideways. He did a fascinating history of it here: https://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Publication%20Files/BernsteinE-M...

A representative anecdote re: a factory workfloor:
"First the [embedded researchers] were quietly shown ‘‘better ways’’ of accomplishing tasks by their peers — a ‘‘ton of little tricks’’ that ‘‘kept production going’’ or enabled ‘‘faster, easier, and / or safer production.’’ Then they were told, ‘‘Whenever the [customers / managers / leaders] come around, don’t do that, because they’ll get mad.’’ Instead, when under observation, embeds were trained in the art of appearing to perform the task the way it was ‘‘meant’’ to be done according to the codified process rules posted for each task. Because many of these performances were not as productive as the ‘‘little tricks,’’ I observed line performance actually dropping when lines were actively supervised."
From "The Transparency Paradox": https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/000183921245302...

I've also interviewed a few engineers about this recently and there are plenty of horror stories. My favorite 2 quotes (from the same person) about screenshot monitoring freelancers: "It almost uniformly led to worse work..." and "... but my boss loved it."

That's the other interesting point about graphing by latitude: the very cold countries such as Iceland also have remarkably low death rates.

It is the temperate, winter latitudes that have extremely high death rates.

Here's the graph, you can see for yourself. A very clear trend based on latitude.

https://github.com/yters/covid-19-latitude/blob/master/coron...

I'm not sure why this trend isn't discussed more in the popular media. Seems quite significant, and is very easy to reproduce. Just scrape Google's covid-19 stats and join with a geographic coordinate source. A journalist could do this by hand with an Excel spreadsheet in about half an hour.

If this trend holds up, then as the Northern hemisphere hits summer, the death rates should plummet. On the other hand, in the Southern hemisphere as winter approaches the death rates will go up.
What determines what's a retail store and what's a house? Zoning? What if a place is zoned multipurpose commercial/residential, where there are both public offices and private apartments occupying undifferentiated sibling units of the same building? I would assume there would have to be some common-sense or explicit claim being made that a place is private property.
Mozilla doesn't have the conflict of interest google does with ads...

That alone makes me use Firefox over Chrome.
I agree to some extent, e.g. the pocket integration and Mozilla burning cash on things that aren't related to Firefox, but Chrome's decision to limit/break key adblocking APIs across their whole ecosystem is much worse. I'd be willing to ignore almost any number of removed extensions to continue using a browser that's not owned by a glorified adtech company.
“The total absence of citizens combined with the presence of protective officials gives the city an air of being under a permanent state of siege. It could almost be a depiction of David Hume’s remark, a century later, that military camps ‘are the true mothers of cities’.”

Question: Where should one start in reading David Hume?
I think this is where "Fake it until you make it" is a good idea.

If you have any product at all and a decent website you can hopefully at least get people to talk to you and they will ask if your product can do X,Y,Z. Even if your product is pretty basic you can at least tell them that you would like to learn more about X,Y,Z so that you can build that and be ready to say yes to the next potential customer who has the same question. This is probably a better approach than calling up CEOs and asking "What are your problems?" They have 1 million problems. You need to start with a MVP and ask what problems they have which seems somewhat related to the MVP

Can you give a few examples of how Mozilla/Firefox have changed?

We all know about FF Quantum. Yeah it sucks what happened. Maybe there was an alternative, but any one saying Firefox should’ve just stuck to not being compatible with Chromium extensions is kidding themselves on how badly that would’ve continued hurting Firefox’s market share. The XUL powered extension I’m sure were powerful so the outcry in certain places was huge. Vocal minority.

The Pocket integration got lots of outcry which seemed pretty silly to me. It’s one product they own. Mozilla doesn’t have a ton of products. Yes that is Google like. Much like any synergy or integrating is Google like. Which is really just being a modern internet corporation. If this is one of the reasons. Why would Mozilla of 5 years ago not have done that vs the Mozilla of today and whenever they did do it. 1-2 years ago I think?

> but they're just responding to market hysteria on permissions.

And responding poorly.

What the market wants is for companies to lay out understandable policies that protect their privacy. People I know want more clarity about what's happening in the extension store and on their devices, not less.

As a consumer, it doesn't make me feel any better for Google to say in vague terms, "we booted off an app that doesn't respect your privacy." Okay, what was it doing? Are there other apps I should be concerned about? How bad did the app need to get before you booted it off? Are there exceptions to these standards? Are they being applied to internal apps as well?

My feeling is that Google's inability to communicate with developers and users is its own problem; it's not the market's fault. Tech companies in general have had difficulty with customer support for a while, even before the media started picking up on privacy issues. Nothing has really changed, Google just happens to be notably bad at this.

The scenario you describe (being "over-leveraged") can easily be applied to people of all financial situations, and certainly to people who are not landlords. Life isn't easy, or simple.. We all do the best we can..

Without knowing how they got there, and again, with the absolute comfort of having zero stake and perfect hindsight, it sure is easy to judge their failings from a distance.

I guess I'll also reiterate that I hope life is kinder to you than you wish it to be on others.

Hair is nowhere near realism, yet.

This is masked by using hairstyles which are either not intended to move or which are intended to display limited movement.

While you cannot produce all colours humans can perceive using a mix of monochromatic light (indeed, some perceivable colours are entirely impossible to be perceived without afterimages), the colourspace of human colour perception is entirely three-dimensional. This is, fundamentally, because we have three types of receptors.

Pigment maps into our perception of colour are possible in theory, but it is impossible to make an ideal pigment in practice nor an ideal substrate, which is why you see the issues you do when trying to produce them in practice.
You know, at the very least it would be nice to get something a bit more direct, like, "We are no longer permitting extensions that do X on our marketplace", or heck, even just a "We're permanently rejecting this for unspecified reasons."

But if that's what you're doing, don't claim that the extension is being rejected for "overbroad permissions". I understand that Google may not literally come out and say "We've decided to eat your extension's functionality and you can just burn." But don't lie about why it's being rejected... however much you may wrap the result up in marketingspeak, don't actively lie about the reason for rejection, so that someone can burn the candle at both end for two weeks futilely trying to appease the lying error message.

As for the fact it may not look that great no matter how much marketing-speak it gets wrapped up in for Google to just eat some functionality and kill all competition... yeah, well, suck it up Google. Don't lie about it. I mean, you can always spin it as security security blah blah security if nothing else, which ought to be enough of a fig leaf.
My personal experience with these types of camera is based on a conversation I had with a friend who’s a public defender in washington state. She said it can be nearly impossible to figure out who owns or put up all the random cameras you see at traffic intersections. Also good luck trying to subpoena the footage. And this is from someone who has greater access to government information than the typical citizen and had reason to find out.
Show HN: Spatial – Zoom in VR+AR
Proud to announce the product my wonderful coworkers and I have been building over the past 4 years: Spatial (https://www.spatial.io) – a 3D collaborative version of video chat in VR/AR.

In Spatial you create a lifelike virtual avatar that gives you a sense of presence you don’t get from webcam feeds. You can also collaborate by drawing, uploading images/videos/3D models, screen sharing your desktop, and more.

We’re available today on Oculus Quest (invite required, but we’re not limiting them), HoloLens, and MagicLeap, and also the web via a cloud-rendered spectator. Coming soon to Android/iOS and the lightweight AR device Nreal.

Now that we're all forced to WFH we're hoping we can help people feel more connected and so we're giving away Spatial Pro for free temporarily.

Would love to hear what y'all think and answer any questions!
I might be some kind of extreme introvert, because I don't miss people in my office at all. In fact it feels like a relief, for professional reasons I've had to be more outgoing that I'd like to and that feels extremely tiring after a while.
I still don't understand why there is a single global (or rather, country-wide) app for food delivery. Unlike getting cabs, this is hardly something you do when you're away from your home city.

If you had an app that only served, say, NYC, you can reduce burn drastically, not worry about scale issues too much, and run a business that's profitable without screwing over either the restaurant or the delivery person.

This is absolutely a problem that can and should be solved at a local level. As a consumer, you gain nothing by using an app that serves 100+ cities.

This is a quick study, and there are lots of flaws in it.

That said, vitamin D deficiency is a real thing, and is especially common in as you get older. Vitamin D supplements are also pretty cheap.

It's not unusual to have to make quick decisions with little information. This study is enough to justify making sure that you have enough vitamin D, and probably to take reasonable dosages of supplements. You have to be careful, you can kill yourself with overdosages of vitamin D... it is a hormone and not technically a vitamin.

Vitamin D supplemenation is an easy and cheap thing to do, not harmful as long as you don't overdose, and there is some evidence here that could be helpful. So it is reasonable for the moment to take Vitamin D supplements, at least until we've had time to do more detailed studies.
So is it the case? Do you have very few prospects of employments and yet would willingly chose living in poverty over surveillance of your laptop?

I don't think it's as unlikely as you seem to believe. There are no stats being brought forward on either side, so I don't see how your scenario is less or more likely than mine. And I am merely trying to empathize with the people for whom this is the sad reality.
I'm not mad about them increasing scrutiny on permissions, that seems fine. What sucks is Google giving a short deadline, no details, and zero response to the developer's repeated communication attempts; all with the threat of Google nuking every single Google resource tied to the developer if they step over some invisible line.
Chrome extension developers should start hosting them on Github.

There is no biological basis for a fourth dimension of colour perception in humans.

It is true that in practice we are unable to replicate the colours we can perceive. But it is possible to create a colourspace that completely contains the gamut of perceivable colours using only three dimensions.
On the other hand, if we can count "every piece of data in the world" then we can estimate the probability of having a collision.
