Is there nothing like this that's open source and can be used locally instead of the cloud?
Generally, yes absolutely. I’ve been doing a project called “NanoSavSeq” (Nanopore Saliva Sequencing) in my free time. It’s published on dat right now since the raw files for Nanopore are really big (got too big for hashbase). There is one company doing it as well, but my version is completely open source and I’ve optimized it for affordable automation.

To give you a sense, you can buy one for 1k and do as much detection as a 64k device, and it’s small enough to fit in a backpack. One device should be able to do 500-1000 tests per 24hrs at a cost of about $10 per test, not including labor.
nice, but what is the benefit over zerotier? Seem to provide very similar end results..
You haven't considered the outcome of not shaving, which is also that thick dark hairs grow, but you also have your wispy ends from before, so the overall result is thick, dark and long...

but for salaried people - it doesnt make sense, sometimes you just need to sit on a problem for some time to solve it, or just sit and think about it. Salaried people arent paid by the hour, so why control them? this I dont understand
Datomic .. not just because of datalog, but because its hands down the best implementation of a AWS lambda based workflow I've seen (Datomic Ions). It's such a peach to work with.
You should have the penalties climb up the chain to the topmost parent. Each entity should be fined proportional to annual revenue (not profit).

The same proportion should apply to individuals and their incomes as to companies.

Oh it's not like I have a Cmd+<X> for every single possible task you can imagine, it's a very tailored and customised set of sometimes complicated scripts for my weird personal needs that I've built up over the years.

Each time I want to do something, I goddamn will spend 8 hours figuring it out if have to. E.g. this: https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/381441/163629 - one hotkey to change macOS Notes text into a specific hex colour (and/or bold etc). It took me a day but I worked it out. Where there's a will there's, 99 times out of 100, a way.

You can seemingly do almost anything with AppleScript. Emphasis on almost.

Here's another example: Right after I plug in my iPhone via USB, I have one hotkey to automate a little-known feature of macOS where you can turn your Mac into a speaker dock for the iPhone. Awesome thing when you have the dramatically improved 16-inch MBP speakers. Here's my applescipt for that, just customise according to your iPhone name near the bottom and try it out: https://pastebin.com/raw/9BY710Y6

YMMV, if you have additional audio devices in sound prefs so may need to change the code a bit.

AppleScript also has the ability to perform unix bash scripting and commands, so with homebrew able to install most common Linux packages, you can go wild if you want.

I'm definitely not 'advanced' applescript level, I'm intermediate. Hundreds of HN readers would know more than me. I just google and think until I find a way. I'm not a programmer.

I have other shortcuts e.g. to control the MPV media player even if it's not the currently active window. Again, weird personal needs, but awesome. AppleScript to the rescue.

FastScripts is how I assign universal hotkeys to any of my applescripts.

Can you visualize the mechanism? You either do or you don't. Maybe the visualization is misleading. Maybe it's not. But if you're at least doing the motions there, you're revising the mechanism rather than reinventing the wheel from scratch.
I don’t think JR had ever claimed anything as absolutely harmless.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe they're found a way for a trustless setup a few months ago. Unfortunately I don't have any more info on hand, but I remember reading that in passing in regards to research performed by Ethereum developers.

I don't think the people at Apple are actively trying to make non-App Store apps unusable because they want to make more money from the App Store or anything. It's just that they want code to pass through them, and as a by product making code that has been vetted less or does things that could potentially be abused is made more annoying to run. Such a change is divisive, as you may have guessed.
I see most negativity around WFH is from some form of fear.

Competition. Some believe that once orgs and managers get comfortable with a fully remote team, whats to stop them from replacing or supplementing office-only team with a cheaper remote-first one. That increases employer options and shifts market power over to them.

Work/life. Some like the hard separation between work and home. They are just not comfortable losing that wall.

Social setup. Some are scared shitless when they realize they will lose their only social setup: office, and will have to start fresh and actually talk to people who don't share their view of the world.

Family. For a lot of people, office is a convenient escape from family that does not get questioned. Take that out and it will drive them nuts to be around family all the time.

Income. Some believe that more competition will lead to lower salaries lesser opportunities, forcing a move to a lower income area leading to lower income and that sounds bad.
Man I love my pellet grill WiFi. If I’m doing an overnight brisket I can check on it without leaving my bed. And if it gets done early it’ll notify me.

I upgraded specifically for that and I genuinely love it.

I am not able to fully pick up on emotional cues without video. There is a reason we use facial expressions when talking in person. For a technical discussion it doesn't matter - for a personal connection it does.
Another advantage of video is you can distinguish "thinking" from "frozen". Plus, you can tell when they're confused, or have a question.
> As an example, I do not actually understand why lifting makes me stronger. Why do muscles respond to increased resistance with more strength? Certainly my ankle ligaments didn't respond to injury with more strength. Well, I don't care and it doesn't matter. It will still work.

Maybe you'll get lucky. Or maybe, you'll wish you took the time to understand should you blow a disc in your spine. Is it possible that that you'd learn a bit more about the difference between bodyweight exercises and more than bodyweight exercises, and the requisite amount of care to do the two sustainably long term without incurring risks of debilitating injury?
The article does a pretty good job of laying out the many mistakes that compounded their problems.
A reasonable strategy would be to stop charging customers who haven't watched in a while, but leave them enrolled as subscribers. If they start watching again, start charging again.
the reason these things work is because they use a datacenter in your city. Thats why low latency. You'd have to have doctor in the same locality, which is not what I think you are thinking.
That first one is interesting... I once stopped for a load of pumpkin bread before boarding a plane. I put it into my backpack. The tsa agent saw the buldge and started to punch my backpack! I yelled at him to stop and he said he thought it was a water bottle... Yeah, like it is a good idea to punch something you think might be explosive.
Elimination of my social anxiety, near-constant mindfulness throughout the day, profound and lasting experiences of joy, some weird purging of like every negative emotion I've ever internalized, significant memory enhancements, etc. It was definitely not all sunshine and rainbows going through that process, especially since it caught me so off guard (I only got into meditation to have a bit more focus and discipline, and I even thought I was pretty practiced as a meditator before I started getting really diligent about it, but boy was I wrong.) ...but on balance, I'd overwhelmingly say it was worth it.

> Routine doctor's office visits to remove a wart from your foot, or diagnose a sore throat, which you can shop around for, are not where the high costs comes from.

Yet those do have insanely high costs as well, as compared to the rest of the economy. We live in an economy where medicine tends to get more expensive, rather than less, i.e: https://www.nbcnews.com/health/diabetes/u-s-insulin-costs-pa....

Doesn't it make sense to figure out why the basics are getting more expensive, before suggesting we engage in a national price-fixing experiment?
> Wouldn't the display application here be something like a scanning AR/VR headset which constructs an image directly on your retina with a small number of beams moving very quickly (kinda like an old CRT display)?

That would only work if the display stays exactly (.01 degrees) in the same spot relative to your eyes. What's it going to do, project a million images, each the width of your pupil? You'd need extremely good eye tracking. You can't put this on a contact lens because the substrate is too thick, in addition to all the manufacturing problems.

> 1/0.17 = 5.9 ppd is about half the angular resolution of the commercial Index VR headset, so it does still need a bit more progress before it would be competitive.

Factors of two is a massive underestimate. The screen in a VR headset is waaaaaay bigger than your retina, which you're projecting onto. Not only that, but you're really concerned about projecting onto the fovea, which has about 1 "pixel" per 20 microns. At 10 cm (4"), 20 microns width would be .011 degrees per pixel. The beam is actually pretty sharp, so halving the beamwidth would lower the bleed to <<10%, which is fine. All together that's ~30x improvement in beamwidth.
> It's an ISA that looks set to be adopted in a pretty wide range of applications, web browsers, sandboxed and cross platform applications, embedded (into other programs) scripting, cryptocurrencies,

I use Snapcast and mopidy on a home server with the iris front end. It integrates with home assistant so you can have automations play sounds in all or some rooms.

With covid I've been able to pipe my meetings to snapcast from the web browser (listen only) which is great for restroom breaks and snacks in long unengaging meetings.

I rigged up a AC sniffer circuit and wifi microcontroller to my dumb doorbell which snapcasts a recording of a doorbell chime throughout the house when it's pressed so I can hear it when music is playing.

Snapcast can also stream to a phone, so I can Bluetooth into the hot tub speakers and have it on the whole house audio too.

Open source home automation with home assistant and this tech is really fun if you want to get into it as a hobby. Certainly requires work, but that's fun for me.

I also have it all integrated into a home-brew weather station and an indoor air quality sensor system with co2 and pm levels so I can get alerts to open windows or turn on fans if co2 gets too high. I also get raindrop noises when it starts raining so I go close the windows. Fun times.

Of course there's a security system involved too which arms at night and when the family's WiFi all disconnects. It disarms automatically based on WiFi auth and an openwrt script, so it's totally autonomous. Works very well.

Working on a tensorflow based automation now to have the front door camera detect packages and send email alerts. Does not work at all, yet.

All local, all self-hosted, with a bridged MQTT server on a VPS for communicating with my location tracker and my mom's house (I get alerts if she's on vacation and the furnace dies or basement floods or there's a break in or whatever). I vpn in to my router to control things when out. But if internet dies at home, everything local still works great.

Mopidy also connects to Spotify, of course.

Ah, thanks for the correction. In any case I'm looking forward to trying it out eventually--got a number of other things ahead in the queue though.

My suggestion would be consider comparing it to firebase queries. Firebase devs are already familiar with how incrementally updated queries can simplify application development a lot. But, despite Firebase's best marketing attempts, the queries are very restrictive compared to sql or datalog.
They could try, but everybody except for one guy would pick the individual spaces and that one guy would be stuck in the group space by himself.
The key is to do barcoding at the PCR amplification step. That way, you can get away with barcoding hundreds of samples in a single tube.

Really the prep screws it any other way. Is ONT coming out with solid state? Got a reference?

> We have previously shown that 207-nm ultraviolet (UV) light has similar antimicrobial properties as typical germicidal UV light (254 nm), but without inducing mammalian skin damage. The biophysical rationale is based on the limited penetration distance of 207-nm light in biological samples (e.g. stratum corneum) compared with that of 254-nm light. Here we extended our previous studies to 222-nm light and tested the hypothesis that there exists a narrow wavelength window in the far-UVC region, from around 200–222 nm, which is significantly harmful to bacteria, but without damaging cells in tissues.

> As predicted by biophysical considerations and in agreement with our previous findings, far-UVC light in the range of 200–222 nm kills bacteria efficiently regardless of their drug-resistant proficiency, but without the skin damaging effects associated with conventional germicidal UV exposure.

Shoddy construction is more rampant than ever.

The Silvery Towers development[0] in downtown San Jose was busted for importing a bunch of undocumented construction workers and keeping them locked up in Hayward after hours. It didn't get any real law enforcement attention until one was killed.

Hang out at any Home Depot or Lowe's weekday mornings, and you'll see contractor after contractor picking up day laborers with no protection, no Workers Comp, no insurance, no nothing.

And after that Berkeley balcony collapsed from shoddy construction and killed a bunch of Irish kids, not one worker who did the job could be interviewed or identified.

I wouldn't buy a home built in the last 25 years in CA unless I personally knew the contractor.

Yeah, on the idea of improving a description when you haven’t updated the extension for a while. My extension also got a reject notice after sitting in the submission queue for a week just because I capitalized one letter in the app description.

I always wonder when a company does this if it is completely altruistic or if something else is going on behind the scenes.

Maybe notifying customers gets them to reactivate, maybe if they resubscribe later they can charge more, maybe it’s better for financial reporting and projecting subscriber counts.

On the other hand it could just be a rare moment of a company doing right by the customer.

What he means: If your product (first version) is Great (at a few important things), it doesn't need to be Good (at everything)

I think the unstated “first version” part is important. You should be gradually adding the missing parts. And not just leave it at the great, simple but missing too many things state forever.
