I hope the Americans don't accept these kind of censorships and go to he street. Or at least educate others to explain everybody that Trump is the most moronic President ever existed. To be honest my respect and view of America has been significantly dropped with such a stupid (yes he is) president.
The article mentions that there is little evidence for prices changing based on cookies.

I've seen that happen, reproducibly and in a plausible way: The (third party) site was adding an "agency discount" (name may not be precise, this is from memory, IIRC it was ~$10-30) that turned into a significant (IIRC $50+) "agency surcharge" on your second visit. Clear cookies, discount is back, revisit, surcharge is back, 100% reproducible.
My bad, it was a silently added "feature" in Windows driver[0].

The same thing is happening all over the 'western' world. It is not a US or partisan thing. Neo-Liberal oligarchic 'democracies' rely on people voting against their own interest. This is core. This is why they need the 'post-thruth' culture where 'everything is fake news'.
This would be good if.. you know.. `man` didn't exist.

Yes, but they don't.

> Amazon seller verified would help

That's the thing. The seller is verified. There is an iPad that really came from Apple somewhere, but Amazon intentionally neither knows nor cares whether you receive the iPad shipped to them by Apple or shipped to them by a scammer.

Here's an example of what I'm talking about, btw: https://sellercentral.amazon.com/forums/t/return-fraud-fba/4...

Ha, great question. We didn't have access a SABRE system so the lookups are fake. I was just about to go in and change it in to a 388 (my favorite plane!), which I think flies daily between LHR and SFO as BA286.

~Unfortunately, the output is in png format which was generated by carbon.now.sh, so I'll have to type everything out. I'll change it once I have a few minutes...~

Edit: just changed it into BA286, which is an 388. (For fun, I also added in first class fare buckets, which United no longer offers.) For additional accuracy, I also updated the UA equipment to 772s, which IIRC is what they actually fly (as opposed to 77Ws).

(If we did this more often, we'd probably actually design it in HTML instead of using Carbon, but an image was much faster, haha.)
In your opinion, what's the best GUI for QEMU/KVM?
If only they had a desktop mode like Samsung Dex.
The text of the 4th could be interpeted to prohibit that kind of search. There are reasonable searches without warrants as well as unreasonable searches with warrants.
Are Ting numbers able to receive texts from short codes?

It’s not only happening in the US. The true numbers will be very hard to see, everywhere.
Ask HN: How does your dev team agree upon code standards for your repo?
At my last gig, on a team of about 30 devs, we had long email threads debating code issues: following patterns correctly, introducing new patterns etc

The threads often fizzled out, didn't reach agreement and those that did, did not translate into the dev team actually following the newly agreed (or newly reemphasised) patterns.

I've heard other teams have scheduled meetings to discuss general code hygiene (tech debt, inconsistent standards across the codebase etc), others simply discuss them as they hit them in PRs and slack. I'm wondering:

1. What processes, techniques and tools are teams using out there and
2. Is the lack of a structured process from identifying/proposing a code standard/rule through to discussing/refining/getting buy-in with the team and then ensuring it's actually followed a commonly felt pain?
It's just address bar autocomplete
My software gig largely involved converting DICOM files into the format used by the company. I very very very much can relate with all this. Basically almost every client needed a custom script to correct the issues in their use of DICOM
I see a lot of people outraged and making emotional appeals. The wake of a tragedy isn't usually the best time to pass legislation, or even form a coherent opinion. There's an estimated 8000-50,000 no-knock raids per year (sources have numbers all over the place, Vox seems convinced it's 20,000) and since 1980, only 40 innocent bystanders have been killed. Overall, the risk of either an officer or civilian dying is ~1/1000. I'm not finding any good sources on how many people are arrested, or what the warrant is typically for, which is important to weigh the benefits. Incidents where they get the house wrong or an innocent person is hurt are newsworthy because they're rare and they can rile people up along political lines and push an agenda.

If there's a warrant for a dangerous person's arrest and you expect them to fight back, I'd rather that be in a no-knock raid in the middle of the night at their home with 50 police using military hardware, than one or two cops at a traffic stop that turns into a high speed chase/shootout in a busy public area.

PVT is a standard in psychology task used to assess sleepiness - no relation to video games

Note that the "getting lost in thought" happened when I slept 8 hours not 4. I think it just came to me taking hours upon hours of very similar tasks.

>I was extremely bored in the last 2 days of taking control measurements and sometimes got distracted and lost in thought, which resulted in me getting 3 and 4 lapses per session (as can be seen on Figure 1). I do not believe that these lapses represent my lack of alertness. ...

>The last low control score on the verbal section is a result of me becoming very bored with taking the SAT 5 days in a row, getting lost in thought for 10 minutes, and having to rush.

I will continue to experiment with sleep, mostly for myself :) and I'm planning to test memory and skill acquisition next time -- these are the two things people say are affected the most, so I'll try to figure out if that is true for me.
I'll also add Olive[1] as an alternative video editor. I tried shotcut this weekend for just a simple clip/split mashup of videos and it was so slow and cumbersome. Olive on the other hand was extremely responsive.

I use google fi so it's just automatically cheaper. Previously I could pay up to 80/mo for unlimited data, 20 base, 10 bucks per gig, free thereafter up to 15 gigs, throttled after 15 gigs.

I've been paying between 20 and 30/mo for it.
my bill is like $18/month. That's still a lot lower than $70 plans that people hardly use.
It's like calling classes colored functions because you can both call them. Classes are not functions. They are classes.

Coroutines are not functions, they are coroutines. Different primitives.

A function has a single exit entry point and a single exit point and no state. If you call a function, you run its body.

A coroutine has several entry points and exit points, and an internal state. If you call a coroutine, you make an instanciation (the body doesn't run).

You can argue than using coroutine for async handling has drawbacks, but colored functions is not the proper analogy and make people very confused about the whole thing.

The fact the syntax to define them is so similar doesn't help, and I see most people difficulties comming from their attempt to reconciliate models that have no reason to be.

Just like a hashmap and an array are 2 different things despite you can index both, functions and coroutines must be understood as separated concepts.
I don't think it's safe that your microwave is emitting radiation strong enough to disrupt your Wifi signal. The shielding may be compromised, and substituting aluminum foil introduces the potential of scattering toward people and animals.

Is this supposed to be sarcasm?

A whistleblower sounding the alarm on data falsification is in no way comparable to a high-level rollup of data which, by the way, is (at most) a few clicks away on that same site.
While 20,000 is a hell of a number per year, it's worth noting that we're not 100% sure it's only 40 innocent bystanders- for example, in this case it wouldn't have been deemed as such if the boyfriend hadn't survived.

What I'd be interested in, is how many no-knock warrants result in any shooting or casualties whatsoever. If that's still a really low number, this may not be as warranted.
Inasmuch as every PDF still has the URL to the original page, for my uses - I'd say yes, it is bookmarking.

Its not like I'd cut the spine off every book in my library and create an index out of the covers ..
I think when I first signed up it was 20GB, then upgraded to 50GB, and now it is 100Gb or, indeed, unlimited. Frankly I never get close to that, anyway, so it’s always left me thinking what I would have to do to get to that sort of data download. If I tethered more outside of WiFi perhaps I would hit it, but I live in a bigger city so WiFi is usually no problem.

Probably worth noting that, if you set up your home Freebox right, you can access secure WiFi on other Freeboxes that do the same anywhere else in France. If 4G is sketchy for some reason and I am anywhere near a decent sized apartment building, I can usually hook into someone’s home WiFi for a few minutes to grab the podcast etc. Very handy.
Who would have thought 'idiocracy' was underestimating the distopian moronity?
I'm from Romania and I pay €14 for 75 GB monthly data, 300 international minutes, unlimited national minutes/sms.

It's cheap enough that I don't mind paying for it while indoors.

I would've switched to Prepay actually, as here you get even better deals with Prepay, but I've got a older and easy to remember phone number that I don't want to lose. And technically I could recover a Prepay number in case I lost the SIM, but with no contract in place I would depend on the benevolence of the operator.
I'll tell you this, as an anecdote, my mother works in a hospital in central Florida, in The Villages, the largest retirement community in the state. She says it's never been so slow. They've had to cut shifts, and she's seen worse flu seasons than what they went through over the past 2 months. They were never at more than 50% capacity. And they never had more than a dozen Covid patients at any given time.

which one of us techies and software engineers would be brave enough to take the stand and risk our job?

how many of us would look the other way and make some excuse about how it’s not our call and we are just doing our jobs?

i hope that if our time ever comes, we would all have the courage to stand up for the truth like she did.
We only have a soundbite from one side of the story, we have no idea what really happened.

Communication is always political, and how information is represented is important, and public opinion matters.

For example in Quebec, there are 'big numbers' of cases, but almost 80% of the deaths are in long-term-care homes.

So you could have one person who doesn't want that data to be highlighted, while some other person does because frankly, that information might frame Covid as ultimately being less risky and yet, it's more transparent.

Hydroxychloroquine is another kind of example - in reality, there may be some benefit for this, but it's really not helpful to have the general public tweeting about it, because it's not generally useful, and the impact will be overwhelming on health officials and cause shortages for those non-covid people who really need it. So the information is either suppressed or 'led' in the direction that public health and safety officials want.

So if the state official was literally trying to get someone to literally just change the data and make it look better, this is obviously going to be a whistleblower case. But this may not be the situation.

Public communication is hard. Trump is probably the anti-example.
Give KDE a try. Gnome has steadily dumbed down and removed features; KDE is delightfully customizeable and very, very polished in current form.
PDF just has better tooling for search, which supplants my need for proper formatting since by the point I'm searching for things in my history its the content that matters to me anyway, exclusive of the original formatting.
>> high-level rollup of data which, by the way, is (at most) a few clicks away on that same site.

It isn't. References to "data" are provided, no models or tabular data / metric-driven formulas are. I have a state information freedom request processing. Compare NY to WA and tell me if you really think the data is comparable.

As for the data falsification claim, I have no idea why Inslee makes his decisions or when the phases will start based on metrics/numbers. It's entirely up to him and his mandate. That's not falsification, but it sure ain't transparent government or any sort of support for small businesses suffering from extended shutdown orders with no insight on the process.
My experience is that as a technical person with a beefy computer, I am mostly frustrated by the knowledge of how much of a waste these apps are, and how much faster they could start/run on my devices.

But a lot of my non-technical friends, many of them with much cheaper computers, definitely grumble about Slack and the like. The difference is much more noticeable on their hardware, and anyone I know who can get away with it prefers to use WhatsApp or, in some cases, Telegram.

Lock-in definitely plays a big role. If you already need to keep Slack open for your employer, you might as well use it for other things, for example.
The difference is that people living under dictatorship don't believe anything their government says.
True, but you did bothsides it without offering any examples to back up your opinion.
There is precedent for a similar idea that worked well in criminal investigations. A documentary was made about it called Crack House USA https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1991025/ where law enforcement obtained property and the appropriate warrants for their investigation. A real slice of life.

I built https://legiblenews.com/ because I wanted to see it told as encyclopedic as possible (it scrapes Wikipedia) and be able to click on links where I can dig deeper and accidentally learn something (Wikipedia links). Ideally news doesn’t have a positive or negative spin; it should “just be” as much as possible.

It runs once per day at 8p PST so that I’m not constantly getting hit with headlines or refreshing it for new news like a junky ... and my favorite part is that each page loads with one request (no JS, Ada, etc)

Cool. Let me know when I can extract the full text contents from such files using common, built-in tools on your average fresh install of MacOS/Linux.

PDF works just fine. It presents a feasible view of the original data, and allows for data harvesting with ease.
Deeply unsettling to imagine that the US statistics aren't trustworthy.
> It is impossible to divine from the text what it means.

I don't buy that though, it wasn't written in Ancient Koine Greek or Hebrew on lost tablets, heck it wasn't written that long ago compared to ancient texts and scriptures!

We've got books and legal cases to reference and confirm what was meant, we even know all about the first cases handled by the Supreme Court. The moment people start to interpret instead of reading it literally and based upon the historical context (seeking refuge from tyranny) is the moment they get confused and get the whole thing wrong.
The entire thing about Inslee has links and references backing up why I think he is a poor leader who has a Democrat branding. Well, one of the many reasons I think he's a poor governor.
Show me the data that indicates states that have opened in the last two weeks are experiencing spiking positives for the virus.

In this case yes, if he didn't know I was diagnosed with migraines he would not have randomly suggested acid. He had an "evidence based" reason for thinking acid would help. I let people I'm close with know my symptoms. You can't always ignore people who you depend on.

Where is the information/data retrieved from?
Here is the email she sent to the Florida Coronavirus listserv (copied from /u/aerlenbach on Reddit):

Hey all –

I’ve gotten a lot of emails from everyone during the last eight days ever since the dashboard went down, the data was hidden, and the functionality essentially crashed, so to clear up the confusion, I’m sending this final notice to the group.

For reasons beyond my division’s control, as of late in the day on May 5, my office (the DOH-GIS office) is no longer managing the COVID-19 Dashboard. I am no longer involved in the publication of data, fixing errors, answering questions, etc., in any shape or form. I helped them get it back running a few times but I have no knowledge about their plans, what data they are now restricting, what data will be added and when, or any of that. I understand, appreciate, and even share your concern about all the dramatic changes that have occurred and those that are yet to come. However, I cannot provide any insight now or going forward.

As a word of caution, I would not expect the new team to continue the same level of accessibility and transparency that I made central to the process during the first two months. After all, my commitment to both is largely (arguably entirely) the reason I am no longer managing it.

They are making a lot of changes. I would advise being diligent in your respective uses of this data. I know many of you have broken API links and map layers. I’ve listed the contacts for getting that information below.

The primary contacts going forward are listed below.

Anything related to EPI: REDACTED or REDACTED

Anything related to the technical aspects of the dashboard: REDACTED

It was great working with you guys. Good luck, and stay safe.

The problem with electric scooters is even though they're nice in urban areas, they're a best-effort service. You can't rely on them to be somewhere by a specific time as they could either be unavailable around you, too far or the one you end up walking to could happen to be broken.

I think the rental bikes which have a fixed docking station are a better design.
> “The wake of a tragedy isn't usually the best time to pass legislation, or even form a coherent opinion.”

When they happen frequently enough, you’re always in the wake of a tragedy, and this becomes an excuse to perpetually do nothing. It’s like after every US school shooting it’s always “too soon to talk about legislation.”

I’ve often found myself thinking how it would be great if the next AppleTV contained an A13 SoC, and... if somebody could adapt Linux to run on it so it could be made into an ultra-compact, super-powerful ARM workstation.

I did something similar with the AppleTV 2 by jail-breaking it many years ago, but I didn’t achieve what I envisioned. The most useful thing I ever did with it was this: https://osxdaily.com/2011/05/18/turn-an-apple-tv-into-web-se... which nowadays is far more easily achieved with a Raspberry Pi 3/4.
The justification in this case and in general isn't about the person being dangerous it's justified under the auspices that they might destroy evidence.

It isn't obvious to me that the risk of confusing people about what is going on and causing a situation where they think they need to fight back against home invaders outweighs the 20 seconds of warning a "dangerous" person might get because the cops don't knock.
