Indexing. Dropbox is slower than Resilio in my experience, and for shares with 100k-1M files, many small.

But also throughput is good.
Have any recommendations on boots?

Maybe because it could cause you to go outside, increasing exposure to the sun.
I was specifically countering your argument because it is impossible to disprove. No matter how accurate our climate simulations or understanding can get, there's always the possibility for something we've missed. That's why we create these models, refine them and adjust our behavior accordingly.

I'm afraid I can't agree with you here because if your claim is that 'we don't know fully how climate works, then things might not be as bad as we think', the opposite claim is also true. That is, 'we don't know fully how climate works, therefore things might be worse than we think'.

It's entirely possible that there are other mechanisms or feedback loops we don't know about which when triggered could cause a massive cascading effect making the global temperature rise rapidly.
Yes, I'm sure.

One of the things driving poverty and homelessness in the US is a lack of affordable housing in walkable neighborhoods. If you could work a shitty minimum wage job part-time while living without a car and cover the cost of a room while getting free medical care through the US government, you could write or program or whatever.

Poor people have no voice in things like what kind of housing gets built or how healthcare is paid for. Corporations and rich people design that and they design stuff that works for them and that increases pressure on the masses.

It doesn't have to be that way.

Money follows rights and power, not the other way around. If money gave people power, lottery winners would run this world. They don't. About 2/3s of them end up bankrupt within five years.

> The repository doesn't include all of the code that gets included in the app, because it has dependencies.*

> Software is guilty until proven innocent

I'm not saying you're wrong about any of this, and I don't trust this app myself (mostly because JS dependencies are hard to trust for various reasons), but...

I also can't think of any usable app that meets your criteria for trustworthiness, including some made by Google itself.

At this point, building much of anything requires standing on a teetering tower of dependencies that users can't and won't audit.

The question becomes where one draws the line. I think drawing the line at "anything that touches my Drive files" is reasonable, but we (meaning computer users) spent decades downloading sketchy executables for our Windows PCs. Although many things are browser-based now, many of us still do download native executable freeware from the web.

If you think I'm not offering a better perspective, it's because I'm not. You're right, but total security also currently means using very little of the software that's available to us.
No, the problem is Google trying to outsource creating their Waymo test data onto us.
Assuming one of the contacts is connected to either ground or Vcc, one thing you can do is connect a GPIO pin to the other contact. Then when the GPIO is made an input the switch is "open", to close it you first write the value the other contact was connected to, and then you make the GPIO an output. Whether this works depends on the current that is sinked by the remote. This was my plan initially but then I went with the relays.
Sounds fun. My brilliant idea. Go make a browser with the UBlock Origin guy. Since it's kind of a standard for safe browsing these day's.
Pixelart means that ever pixel is chosen individually and specifically, over any other pixel. If you palette is 16 million colours, this becomes impractical. In a given situation, which of #e6fc04 and #e7fc04 is the better choice? Is there even a difference? So you have to have a constrained palette, which more-or-less precludes any sort of antialiasing.

For my part, I have only ever seen one piece of antialised pixelart: the chain holding the elevator in the video game celeste. It looked awful.

How can anyone even dare to think about indents? C'mon, I thought this was settled. Did you know that human fingers can detect roughness value down to N7? That's 1.6 micrometers. There is a bigger fish to fry than just think about indentations or bumps. Texture. Texture is everything and there is nothing else to talk about, although I am open for other ideas. Thoughts?
I eagerly await the Typescript to SpoonScript (what have) migration of 2027.
But why?

Sure, there are people who want to tinker with it for fun, but outside of that what is the point in having Swift on Linux and Windows?

You can't use it to build mac or iOS apps on Linux because the important libraries aren't there. There is no cross platform UI and Apple isn't likely to port and support theirs from macOS. If you are into servers then you have plenty of better languages options with established ecosystems. Maybe there are some command line apps on macOS which can now be ported to Linux/Window, but beyond that, what is the point? Where is Apple trying to go with this?
Maybe I'm wrong, but I've an impression that redesign uses much more screen space. Which is not very good for usability in my opinion, at least for existing users.
yes, if you build AI on more than inductionism. Reasoning from data, by definition, doesn't work if you encounter something that is entirely novel.

Time to broaden the scope again to include cybernetics, reasoning, counter-factuals and so on rather than just building end to end data driven learning systems.
The article doesn't actually say anything at all, just seems to be an advert.
Or kill you before you get to a vulnerable age.
I have doubts. We already have cross-platform languages with decent GUI like Java (people give it tons of shit but I bet you use a Java GUI every day without knowing it). Python has some decent ones too though.

And of course Electron, which is somehow even worse than Java.
This was already posted 12 days go: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23062072
What is the relative efficiency penalty these days, for using JavaScript to build the GUI, as opposed to using native code?

Like, isn’t VSCode all JavaScript? Surprisingly, this is probably what allowed Microsoft to build software that runs on both Window, Mac, and Linux! The JavaScript platform, ultimately became what Java dreamed of becoming back in the 1990s. And without the need to install a separate virtual machine layer, but at the expense of more inefficient code.

But VSCode is painfully slow, if you run it on an older PC.

And you’re not going to be running Windows 10 on a 15 year old PC anymore.

So could this mean, that software companies are going to force people to buy newer hardware, to run their programs? Most likely. Apple has programmed the consumer into spending unnecessarily for new hardware every year.
There is a deeper question here of: "Should information about people be trivially easy to find via Google (or any search engine)?"

It's one thing to have the world's information available to learn and improve. It's another to have any mention of your name going back decades easily retrievable, whether that information may be true, false, slanderous, complimentary, or what-have-you.

And what causes the threshold to be crossed? A friend who names you as part of a pub-crawl/bachelor party in Las Vegas in a public social media post is different from someone who is charged in court and found guilty of a crime. But what about someone who is accused of a crime, but then acquitted later? Or someone who is named in a civil suit that is later dropped?

I don't think we can have a blanket policy of these things but it certainly makes sense for some measure of a "right-to-be-forgotten" mechanism to be in place.
> they're trying to make it hard for malware overall to integrate with Chrome

That's a reasonable argument, and you're probably right about their motivations. But I'm not convinced that's a realistic goal, because the definition of malware/spyware changes depending on the context/user.

The big reason moderation doesn't scale is because you're forced to balance everybody's needs at the same time -- you can't optimize for any particular user. If the end-consequence of an exclusive web store is that it's much harder for the Chrome team to ban shifty apps without everyone on Twitter asking for a bullet-pointed list explaining why, then the Chrome team isn't really making the world that much safer.

In general, I would advocate that it's better to try and build safe spaces rather than safe worlds. That's kind of a pragmatic philosophy: I'm having a hard time thinking of an existing safe world that I think runs well. All of the major app stores (including Apple's) have malware problems to at least a certain degree. Most giant social networks are not doing a good job of moderating content. Package managers for languages like Node and Ruby are running into the same issues.

Maybe the web itself? But the web doesn't get its safety from moderation, it gets its safety because of sandboxing.

If I'm thinking purely as a consumer, what I really want is an extension store where I know 100% that everything on it is fine. I don't want to have to think or read reviews or look up the author before I install an extension. I want it to be clear when I'm being safe and when I'm doing something dangerous. I suspect that's what a lot of consumers want, and I just don't see any realistic path for Chrome to provide that with their current strategy.

I get that "somebody might choose to leave the safe space and install malware anyway" feels bad, but if the consequence of avoiding that is, "everybody gets kind of substandard protection all the time", maybe it's worth questioning whether Chrome's malware goals are worth pursuing in the first place.

Microsoft also has Xamarin, which is a bigger deal for them than React Native.
I'm largely in agreement with you. UBI may not be the right path, but we are thinking toward the same goal probably. I'll take whatever I can get.
Because micromanaging people is how you get more Feynmans and Shannons.

It really doesn't. It's just a social signaling mechanism meant to give you the feeling of being cool for knowing about it. Every subculture does this, mostly unconsciously. Heinlein was really good at social dynamics and gave his (mostly young) readers the feeling of being initiated into a social elite. His pal L ron hubbard took the same knowledge in a different direction and created Scientology.
I wouldn’t go that far. The only reason that the justice department is going after big tech is because of the President’s personal dislike of the “left coast liberal elite”.

Don’t you find it strange that a Republican administration is going after a company for anti-trust?

I am not saying that Google hasn’t unfairly competed against small business or they shouldn’t be sued, but this is purely political, not the Justice Department all the sudden caring about the little guy.

It could also be low levels of sex hormones in general - having neither estrogen nor testosterone in your body causes osteoporosis, for example. Excess testosterone is metabolized into estrogen, as well.

But the endocrine system is ferociously complex - maybe endocrine abnormalities are a proxy for obesity, or an underlying thyroid issue etc.

According to [0], vitamin D deficiency is associated with higher free testosterone in men and lower estradiol in women. Higher testosterone is associated with cardiovascular problems, which are a big COVID risk factor.

But that doesn't jib well with the study you find, so I dunno what to make of it.

Hate to say it, but the sanest thing to do if you need a cross platform UI is use Java. Your other choice is Electron, which is way slower and uses many times as much ram
Yes. I knew you could use git and install modules on each end separately, but putting the whole thing in sync is just more convenient for some personal toy projects.

That's the only documented amount. We don't know of all the other funders or LLC funders that are associated with him.

Even aside from the funding, the article unveils many more disturbing things.
Money does not magically create the personnel qualified in scaling up drug production, nor does it magically make the necessary, specialized machinery appear. Furthermore, as described in the article, the manufacturing appears to rely a lot on various businesses which each perform one specific step with a compound and hand over the result to the next, and Gilead's core work seems to be to find these businesses, provide missing know-how, and coordinate all of their work such that the timelines and amounts produced line up. Just dumping money into an economy also does not magically make such specialized businesses appear all of a sudden; self-organizing systems like modern capitalistic economies require time to adjust to big changes in demand or supply of certain goods or services.
For me strong contrasts, especially on dark backgrounds, give me retina burns and eyestrain. I find pastel shades more comfortable. That said the grey text on white fad that happened a few years ago was a very silly idea.

I don't think there's any solid evidence of disproportional use of of one ethnic group by another. You can certainly find individuals who thoughtlessly or deliberately do that but generalizing that to some random population (eg of office workers) is likely wrong.

Ask HN: Web+Mobile vs. Desktop+Mobile
For a productivity application, is providing desktop (Mac/Windows/Linux) applications(plus mobile) instead of a web client, an attractive alternative?

In other words, is no web version (with desktop apps instead) likely to turn away the majority of prospective users?
From Giphy's end they can still so useful traffic analysis by generating a unique URL for the search result obtained by User A and subsequently sent to his chat cohort. Each cohort app retrieving the same URL could then be enumerated. It's not user-identifying but it would generate a sort of contact graph.

Also the Signal service could do a transparent TLS MitM between the app and Giphy instead of a passthrough TLS tunnel and the user apps would be unaware. In fact from that page I'm not sure they're even doing a tunnel anyway.

So the WSJ succeeded in its purpose of spreading anti-Chinese propaganda. Wow, so easy. Check a more complete story here:

https://qz.com/1742279/a-mind-reading-headband-is-facing-bac...

EDIT: less snarky. Please pay attention, I have the feeling that Western media are building an anti-China sentiment because the West (the US in particular) feels threatened by China's economic and technological growth. Criticism of China is fine and due, but let's avoid being tricked by the media (of both sides) in re-aligning with our own tribes. This is the way conflicts are prepared and started. We need understanding, diplomacy and cooperation, not anger and sabre-rattling.
The best electricity comes from AI
"They are redirecting those customers to their platform where they can purchase from a competitor or they can charge us a fee to provide food to that same customer. Whereas the customer could have just gone to our website and ordered directly from our online ordering store and we would not be charged a commission to GrubHub or DoorDash."

Here he refers to Grubhub and DoorDash as "competitors" with the restaurant.

Yet at the conclusion of the story he refers to them as "partners" with the restaurants who pay them.

"DoorDash and GrubHub have a long history of screwing their partners."

These companies are "middlemen". That description in fact fits a large number of "tech" companies. It is a common theme when we look at the "tech" industry.

A few days ago food delivery, including Grubhub, was discussed on HN.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23169597

One commenter argued that companies like Grubhub exist in "fake markets" that would not exist were it not for VC funding.

Another argued that these markets are not fake because these companies have managed to be profitable and deliver returns to investors.

Not sure what you all have experienced, in my experience with restaurants and delivery, the owners always seem to prefer customers who order directly from the restaurant, not via a middleman. However, I can sense that they feel compelled to sign up with the middlemen for fear of losing business.

HN commenters seem to enjoy comparing first page search results on Google versus alternatives such as DDG. Try this one out. Search for your favourite restaurant. On Google, I see more middlemen than I see on DDG, including a result for "[restaurant-name].business.site" which I believe belongs to Google. I don't see that result on DDG.

Imagine if the telephone book Yellow Pages listed multiple numbers for each business, some of them not belonging to the business but to middlemen who would "make calling easier". Even more, imagine it changed the order of the listings according to a "secret" methodology instead of presenting them in alphabetical order.

Everyone's focusing on the pressure this adds but that seems largely due to cultural factors. Of course students feel more pressured if the data is primarily used to criticize them. But what about evaluating the teachers ability to keep students focused on a task? Or evaluating if a new medication is making a difference for a student with ADHD? As a side note, it seems like lazy journalism to not seek out more commentary from people involved in the project. Their expert was a random Neuroscientist from San Fransisco for gods sake, they could at least have explained why they found his particular criticism worthwhile but they never even establish if he's familiar with the specific work being done in China. If the research is being done in China and the tech is bespoke to the research program in China it's weird to prioritize input from American researchers without some degree of explanation is all I'm saying.
Not "almost immediately". They announced it would be open source at WWDC 2015, a year after Swift was first introduced at WWDC 2014. The actual open source release then happened a few months later in December 2015.
