Not far from me there was an indication to take an exit to get to another highway... but then no indication that you have to exit again to get to that highway. It was a sort of "go here to get there and then you're on your own" sort of sign.

I thought about doing something similar, but only as an amusing thought.

Fortunately they fixed the sign a few months later and gave extra indications where you needed to go.
I've been using Obsidian for the past week. Here are my thoughts:

I love that this is basically just markdown with wiki links. I'm not too concerned about Obsidian going out of business and my notes not being useful anymore. Contrast that with Notion (which is great in many other ways), where I store my data on their cloud and even though I can export to markdown not everything is actually markdown (e.g. tables) so they just put a link to their site instead.

I also love that since this is locally stored, I have control of how I store my data. I have a private git repo, and just occasionally commit and push my changes.

I wish it were open source, that way I could feel better about the wiki links being useless if they go out of business. It's not a blocker for me though, since my notes are fairly straightforward and I mostly just use the links for table of contents files.

The downside of being locally stored is that it isn't cross-device capable. This limits me when I'm taking notes on my iPad. That said, I don't take many notes on my iPad so if I need to I can just manually transfer my notes when I get back to my computer. I can understand though that this would a be a show stopper for some people.

Overall, this solution works for me. I have high hopes that it will continue to improve and become even better than it is now. Thanks to the team for the hard work!
Not necessarily user data. Google own reCAPTCHA and YouTube. Think about that.
Hi all! I'm an engineer who worked on this feature. I can't speak to the general concerns about AMP, but I can say that we didn't remove the original url here intentionally - we actually never added it to the Images version. Sorry for the oversight, we're working on bringing it back now!
+1 I wasn’t expecting a “static site generator” to require a JavaScript runtime.
I’m surprised this is not widespread yet. Is there anything in AMP to detect and block phishing attempts?
Since Obsidian is one-time purchase and offline-first, you would continue to use it as you were. Them going down should only affect future updates. Plus you would be able to continue writing plugins (when the API is released) to extend it if you want.
I will never support google in anyway, at least in tension fully, but Apple voice to text is absolutely a palling. I just dictated this message here is my iPhone, so I will leave it as is without fixing the fuck ups.
Can't tell if that's sarcasm or not. I've 100% seen startups lose prospects and deals because the docs weren't great.

If anyone who's selling software thinks their docs are only for users, and don't get read by prospective customers, they're missing out on customer prospects without even realizing. Many people even skip the homepage and everything else and jump straight to the docs to figure out what the product does, whom it's for, how it works, what it integrates with, and so on.
How is this relevant at all? Boeing's cuts are being caused by a collapse of its commercial airplane business brought on by the pandemic. SpaceX doesn't compete in commercial aviation at all.

If you're referring to SpaceX winning the launch contract over Boeing, that happened a while ago, and has no connection to the pandemic or this layoff.

Congratulations to SpaceX for their accomplishment today, but it's neither here nor there for the topic of this article.

>Boeing benefits accumulate based on time employed and not duration of employment

What does that mean? What's the difference between "time employed" and "duration of employment"?
It could be an action from a rogue employee. Possibly not a management decision or specific company policy, just a filter added by an employee with access to it. There might be some 'lively' discussion internally in Google right now over this specific issue. In the past some Google employees have taken actions against individuals based on their personal political beliefs or other personal grudges. A good example of that was when Jordan Peterson was temporarily locked out of all Google services, including his Gmail, insiders said it sparked a lot of internal arguments at the company (eventually his accounts were reinstated with no official explanation or apology, though some employees did apologize to him privately for their coworkers behavior).

It's likely at its core a problem with poor employee screening, insufficient training and supervision, and vague/over-reaching policies given to employees that they sometimes interpret as legitimizing them to censor or ban based on their personal political beliefs.

Some employee there likely is a communist sympathizer, or has other connections to China's authoritarian ruling party.

No. Because there are too many emotions for people to think clearly.
Yeah, I'm not sure how much this applies to the Navajo on the reservation specifically.

If they're living a regular American lifestyle, which often produces Vitamin D deficiency even for the palest white people, they will be affected even more.

But I mostly intended this as general advice for the HN readership.
We so badly need decentralized alternatives to these services. Unfortunately I don't see anything on the immediate horizon that is up to the task.
Is your goal to learn go (or other language), or to accomplish a specific task (both valid and wonderful goals!)? The reason I ask because if it's the second, I've become dramatically more productive by really learning shell. Just as an example:

comic_number=321; curl -L http://xkcd.com/"$comic_number"/info.0.json | jq '{title, number: .num, title, date: "\(.day)-\(.month)-\(.year)", description: .alt, image: .img}'

That took maybe a minute for me to write, vs. like 20 or so minutes for Go. I personally can get stuck in a such a paralysis of doing things the "right" way in a "real" language. So, it's nice to be able to bang out a prototype super quickly and then iterate from there if I want.

edit: getting them all, because who can resist some fun code golf:

yes | awk 'BEGIN{count=1} {print count++;}' | head -n 2311 | xargs -I {} curl -sL http://xkcd.com/"{}"/info.0.json | jq '{title, number: .num, title, date: "\(.day)-\(.month)-\(.year)", description: .alt, image: .img}'

I keep advocating for the widespread adoption of the Koteka: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koteka ; but the possibilities for personal expression don't seem to catch the enthusiasm of others the same way. Goofy Neckties were a brief fad; whereas these could bring joy to the whole world.
Sounds good. Would it make sense to put some info about your roadmap on your main marketing pages? There's pros and cons of that, but for positioning sake, I'd recommend it, and given that it's still an alpha, I think that mitigates the expectations of feature completeness.
This is a hard problem. And it makes a great interview question too!

Remote voting has become a news item in the USA recently, partially because of Covid. And voting theory is pretty interesting - in this instance it seems like a classical security vs convenience trade-off.

The tradition of secret ballots goes back a long way but maybe with almost ubiquitous internet we've reached a point where it's no longer worth the cost.
Gotta say I need to take a better look at Hasura
Yea, you can't generalize. Different people are different. Some people are able to work from their quiet home office and have never been more productive and happy. Others have 4 year olds with no energy relief valve, bouncing all over their living rooms which double as workspaces. Some people are naturally solitary and find stay-at-home a great break from the enforced socialization that comes with working at an office. Some people are extroverts and are going absolutely bananas every day that goes by where they don't see another human being.

Personally, I'm more productive now, but only because I'm not wasting 4+ hours each day on my commute. If my commute was under 30 minutes each way or less, I probably would prefer to be in the office so that I could actually see and socialize with people.
Where does your idea come from that FAANGs aren't right?

I'm 50, doing fine at a FAANG. My team has a good chunk of 40+ people on it as well. I see a good number of 40+ people on other teams, too. I get regular pings from other FAANGs about recruiting.

So, def. try for FAANGs. Just invest a couple of weeks into prepping for the interview process. Yes, it's stupid, but "behold my algorithmic chops" is what they want to see, so you cram algorithmic chops.
That doesn’t work for freelancers.
Yeah. With a lot of time and effort, you can get a result that's so good, it's indistinguishable from not doing anything special at all.

Cancelling 230 IMO is the wrong thing to do as well, but it, at minimum, needs to be modified to lay out some sort of "minimum neutrality / anti-bias criteria" and provisions for holding these Tech companies accountable -- something like 3 strikes and you're out -- you lose your platform status -- hey! kind of how like they treat the rest of us! Bonus points if we can algorithmically determine it so they lose it without human input or consideration of context and then have to beg not to be "deplatformed" by yelling for help from an actual human on other social media sites.

1. Apart from halofantrine, antimalarial medicines thatprolong the QT/QTc interval,such as quinine, chloroquine, artesunate-amodiaquine and dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine,have beenassociated with a low risk of cardiotoxicity.

This seems to indicate that there is a risk, albeit low. The risk is for cardiotoxicity, not sudden deaths.

To check whether a server is using the weak ssh-rsa public key algorithm, for host authentication, try to connect to it after removing the ssh-rsa algorithm from ssh(1)'s allowed list:

If the host key verification fails and no other supported host key types are available, the server software on that host should be upgraded.
Not really. Spying among friendly nations is actually desired. Because it creates and improves trust.

I think the correct path here has not really changed in the past 20+ years: find out how they dress for a typical work day and then go one step more dressy. So if it's a jeans and t-shirt shop, go khakis and collared shirt; if it's business casual a jacket and tie is fine.

It's not so much about what you are wearing as it is about "fitting in with our culture". At least this is a bias that you can usually mitigate (if you want to)
You're arguing for unbounded trolls, spam, and the complete destruction of all online communities.

I don't understand what worldview leads to the conclusion that any moderation of a private platform by a private entity is equivalent to government censorship.

There's a reason businesses use Hong Kong as a home base to access the Chinese market and that reason is the legal system. Hong Kong is like the Delaware of China - an established and reliable system that protects business interests. It's fair, it's transparent, and it's predictable. None of those things can be said about China's legal system.

Excuse my bluntness here, but that is a very lazy excuse. A lot of comments are repeated, utter trash that span multiple channels and videos from known bad actors. Sure no spam filtering is perfect but in this case it's obvious YT has gone out of their way to handle that data differently.

You can go back in time and look at the 2008 view and see the guerilla sign too.

While I was looking, I noticed that there is barbed wire around the pole that supports the sign, to prevent people from climbing up. But it's only on the pole that's in the middle of the freeway, not the one that is near the side of the road. Clearly not a lot of thought was put into this sign!
> If google cannot even make a bot to detect fake views and subscriptions, then why the hell do advertisers give them money at all if only those bots watch the ads anyway?

Because the ad slots are sold at auction. If 20% of the views are bots then the price should go down and advertisers get 20% more ad views (and the same number of real ones) for the same dollar. Assuming the advertisers are rational and informed; if not then the explanation for why they do it is that they're irrational or uninformed.

> And why would they think that a ban bot - which has far reaching consequences - is ok, if they cannot even prevent view gaming?

One thing doesn't appear to have anything to do with the other.

They have a ban bot because people keep trying to sue them or threaten them with adverse legislation if they don't take stuff down fast enough.

> And everytime I dare use a public VPN google/YT puts big fat captchas in front of me

Because you're doing the opposite of what scammers do. You're using the one IP address with a terrible reputation. They use a million IP addresses with good reputations, e.g. from a botnet full of machines that were innocent users last month.

> If they cannot distinguish between one coming from e.g. Sony vs one coming from e.g. <random script kiddy> then what the hell are they doing? There is such a thing as reputation.

You would think so, except that a ton of the erroneous takedowns come from the biggest senders, because they use garbage automated methods to send them.

Meanwhile if they give privileged access to major companies then everybody else would be complaining that they're discriminating against small content creators by not honoring their takedowns like they do for Sony.

This was my experience as well. I thought it might be aimed at news sites with content in WordPress as a faster alternative front-end. It certainly positions itself as "for everyone", but it felt wildly over engineered when I used it for a small static site.
Need to consult a lawyer on that, maybe it needs to be notarized somehow?

There have been some attempts to do this (by other apps), we can look into their approach as well.

And yeah no offense taken, don't worry about it :)
This balkanization is a good thing. I'd far rather have the choice between many competing providers each offering a service at £8/month, than have the choice to take or leave a single expensive all-in-one subscription, like cable.

Sooooo many people shave their heads nowadays, balding or otherwise.
How about a thought experiment: in "communist bandits", replace "communist" with derogatory name for some other nation or social group.
Honestly for most companies it's just literally capitalism having gone out of control placing moral and human values or generally any responsibilities if possible below (long term) profit.

One expectation seems to be Facebook as from what I can guess (from interviews with Mark Zuckerberg) it has a vision of how it likes the future to be and tries to force that trough. (Which is IMHO even worse and more dangerous.)

So basically I believe if the US fixes their (IMHO) fundamentally broken approach to capitalism then the
companies in Silicon Valy (except Facebook) will fix them self after some time.
It is exactly what I’m proposing, yes. These companies should be forced to participate in the making of laws about free speech, they should not effectively be able to decide what free speech is by fiat.
Ah, that makes sense.

I've generally found what I wanted via the DDG news search, but I haven't used it enough to seriously evaluate its quality, unlike the main search engine. I've also had reasonably good luck with "past week" or "past month" searches on DDG, but those aren't news-specific.
A code of conduct doesn't have the force of law to begin with, in what way is Youtube having one independent of US law?

And if you're suggesting every instance of moderation on Youtube's platform should be a civil or criminal matter, and that a court or some other agent of the state should decide on each matter rather than Google, how would that not still be censorship?
I'm not convinced that it is a problem than can be solved.

Please don't mistake that for advocacy that we do nothing, because that is not at all my intention.

We had grocery delivery for 5 years pre-pandemic. When the pandemic started we tried to continue grocery delivery. However, we found several key issues.

1. A large number of people decided to move to home delivery. We couldn't get a delivery slot for weeks.

2. I was able to get a delivery once. We had to submit the order the night before. Then I had to wake up early the next morning and continually hit refresh on the delivery scheduling page until a slot opened up, probably due to someone canceling. However, 40% of the items we ordered were no longer available. When we go to the grocery store the items are there. For some reason, they show as out when ordering online.

We gave up 6 weeks ago. People who were willing to put up with scheduling weeks in advance and not receiving important parts of their order are finally giving up.

It's not really a preference. Our grocery stores are not setup to handle the volume. Fortunately, we're moving into farmers' market season so we can avoid larger stores to some degree.
As far as that goes, I suspect most incandescent bulbs can take a lot of heat. (The one in your oven, for example, which I suspect is a pretty vanilla bulb.)
By the same token, the government enacting legislation that gives these same tech companies blanket protection over the clear bias they institute is by extension limiting free speech by government law. In other words, the government passed a law that enabled others to limit free speech. Wonder if this angle has been tried in court yet?

You're only half right. While Amp is designed to create small pages, what's more important is that they should be safely-embeddable. That means there's no potentially unsafe scripts or asset requests. That why Amp uses a subset of HTML as defined via WebComponents.

>Google then cached entire amp versions of articles on their servers

That's the Amp Cache. The cache allows vendors like Google, Microsoft, and Cloudflare (who each run their own caches) to automatically preload these pages in search results without there being any risk to the user. Yes, Bing runs a copy too.

Oh, I'm totally in agreement that the situation is unfair and that the US government engaged in genocide and cultural extermination of native peoples, and that reservations were created as ghettos for Indians so the whites could take their desirable lands.
