Please see any of the things I linked. None of these people are from the administration.
I'm a guy, and I place higher importance in the latter (with women) more than the former.

There's a few technologies I actively try to avoid (.NET, etc.) but otherwise I'm open minded.

But I am much more peculiar on what kind of company environment and culture I want to work for. Call me trivial, but I really, really, don't want to work for any company that forces me to wear business casual (or worse). It's not just the dress code that irks me, but the wider culture it typically implies.

In fact, the reason I'm adverse to certain tech like .NET is also related to company type/culture that would use such tech, more so than the actual tech itself. I happen to like C#.
Models and simulations can never reveal the cause of anything; they only provide a method of analysis and provide support for theories.

The article includes a line which is much more accurate:
"This new computer modeling approach identifies competitive exclusion as the likely reason for the disappearance of our cousins."
Sounds like their offering will basically consist of some fairly simple CI and some static hosting, right?

Those things (particularly the CI) are incredibly trivial to setup for someone who is technically proficient. It might be a hurdle for someone who is primarily a designer with a bit of HTML/CSS knowledge and a "copy and paste heavy" understanding of JS.

I think a large proportion of static sites are built by people in the second category, so the offering makes sense to me. If my reasoning is sound, that just leaves the major issue that this offering is incredibly easy to duplicate, and everyone from Github to CircleCI to Netlify could put in a week of dev time to roll out their own matching offering (if they don't already have this).
My point was that they should be exposed to why this stuff is garbage before they start watching Qanon, so that, when they stumble onto a Qanon video, they aren't swayed by the video's eloquent(?) speech or dazzling(?) logic.
Classic! This is one I clearly remember reading ages ago.
So does anyone else notice the number of pro-twingate comments on this submission with accounts that have under 5 karma?

Like I want to try new things, but this entire comment thread seems to be full of astroturf and spam. And if that was something that was done as part of this launch and post then I have ethical questions about the product.
Forgot that repubs don't just want free speech. They want everyone to have to see it and accept their opinion as facts.
fertility clock was made up by fertility clinics, they say it's declining sharply, doubeling the rate at which bad things can happen to the child if u get it in ur 50ies, but it's going from 0,1 to 0,3 or so, it's really low if someone's healthy in her fifties and still has eggs left
It’s not about title. It’s about accomplishments. I have hopped around working for small companies all of my career. I am actively in the interview process for two of three major cloud providers (consultant not software developer). I have only worked for one company that anyone has ever heard of and only one company that I was anymore than “senior developer”. But working for small companies you get to lead a lot of initiatives if you play your cards right.
It sounds like you want either something backed by a cloud drive with local installs of the software, or something more like a traditional wiki server with a markdown plugin.

One of these are hosted by the US state department, but the person talking is from JP Morgan, which they cover in the introduction. The person moderating is from the state department, but she isn't presenting anything, just moderating questions to the guest speaker, who is not a politician.

The others are Peter Zeihan, and an essay in Foreign Affairs. These are not politicians.
He won't do any such thing. This is just red meat for his base to distract them from the fact he hasn't done anything for them.
I think there have been two main changes that have hurt the web:

1) The shift from spammy shit content as something to squash to something to allow and even promote over better content, provided it follows certain (Google's) rules. This shift (in terms of Google's behavior) happened ~2008-2010 and we haven't seen a period of spammy crap content getting heavily downranked since then, like we used to when they were still trying to stay ahead of it rather than give it a "legitimate" avenue as a method of control. Google's still being the most important search provider to appease has left the rest unable to direct behavior toward anything better than what does well on Google, so their results aren't much better.

2) A move away from actual or de facto open systems & protocols to deliberately carved up communities. The only thing keeping chat, Twitter-like services, and other social media—hell, even Youtube, so far as some kind of format for hosting video with metadata—from being standards or protocols is that business incentives reward "owning" a userbase (so you can better spy on them, and to keep anyone from providing a better, perhaps less-spying-laden client and "stealing" ad-viewing eyeballs)

Both of these are fundamentally problems of the spyvertising economy taking over the Web and I think a lot of the issues would go away if we could (legally—I don't think tech will do it) permanently and completely break that. More specifically a big part of the problem is Google, though of course the rest of the Web giants are gleefully following similar bad incentives.
This would be more of a discussion if we were given an inside perspective on the processes which led to this, whether there were countervoices, why they weren't heard, etc.
Of course! I want to go to the store and see the item and buy it! The whole idea of shopping on a web page may be convenient, but sometimes just seem very boring and inspiring for buying food cooking or having new ideas!
Safety critical functions have dedicated physical controls, the touch interface replaces just the hundreds of individual switches and buttons you would otherwise need for all the non critical stuff you need to control.

Genuine question: What would happen if there was a massive conspiracy to just plow through with the plan despite the injunction? Sure, Congress could impeach him again and “convict” him, but what if the people with the power to literally remove him refused to cooperate?

I know this is a very massive hypothetical, but it’s one I’ve wondered for a while. Basically, as the head of one of the branches, he could have subordinates forcefully removed, but who’ll forcefully remove him in this case?
We've built an entire economy around people doing things they don't really need to do.

Yeah, we've moved beyond subsistence. In fact, we've moved so far beyond subsistence that we can put the entire economy on hold for months and no one is in even remote danger of starving.
Another problem is that you can't even find those websites anymore. They're at the absolute bottom of search-engine rankings for whatever reason.
How were you monetizing it?
They don't amount to an attack. They amount to a threat.

Threats to our democracy need to be checked.

This isn't about Trump or about giving or not giving someone the benefit-of-the-doubt. If it were Obama, Warren, Bush, or whomever else, I wouldn't want to give a path to cancelling an election either. The PoTUS doesn't have that kind of power, and it the PoTUS is making moves suggesting that kind of power grab, they need to be checked on it by the rest of the system, whoever it is, and regardless of intent.

That's the point of checks-and-balances: they're something we should be able to agree on regardless of whether we trust the individual. They're about the system and not about the person.
Hi HN!

I finally released version 2.0 of my Mac app, Unreplied!

it offers a status bar menu that shows you a list of messages you haven't replied to. Even if you open the conversation, Unreplied will still keep them on that list, to remind you to reply.

Version 2 comes with a load of new features including a top-down rewrite, Dark Mode support, CLI support, and reminder notifications!

Announcement on my personal blog: https://duro.me/stories/2020/05/26/announcing-unreplied

How to use the CLI: https://duro.me/stories/2020/05/26/unreplied-cli

I'm hoping people use the CLI mode for new and creative solutions! Let me know if you come up with any, or if you have any suggestions or questions.
It is a huge shame that the AMP AC seems to have completely dropped any work on the following focus card on their Github - https://github.com/ampproject/meta-ac/projects/1#card-194203...

Overwhelmingly that's the main user request for AMP. The lack of progress and the fact that it disappeared from the 2020 priorities with no progress speaks volumes.

I agree about the toxicity of social media, it's why I don't have an Instagram and, well, Facebook is dead among my generation anyway so it's not an issue.

>Attractive, fit, intelligent men get a completely outsized proportion of the interest on apps like Bumble and Tinder, while even median men are mostly ignored.

Is this a real problem though? I've heard about how women rate most men as below average, yada yada, but monogamy is still dominant, it's not like these hot men are building harems---on aggregate the vast majority will end up with a life partner, just as always. Am I missing something?
Have you tried testing other generators for sites with 1M pages? How about Hugo?

I'm confused about Gatsby as well to be honest. It has a lot of buzz but Hugo does everything I need. It can download data from URLs too and, worst case, just write a short script that does this before triggering the static site generation.

Part of the appeal of static site generation for me is simplicity. I've already hit enough issues with Jekyll having versioning issues when I return to a site I've let sit for a while. I don't want to have to deal with versions and upgrading issues that'll be involved with using Node, Webpack, React etc.
Because it is almost unbelievable that it happened; I can barely type on mine. I have all my hardware from 10+ years ago until now to compare with. Would return this one in an instant, if possible.
The article covers this fact well. I like the idea that a super secret cabal name is based on the drink they were having at the time. It humanizes the whole endeavour showing how they agree on more than secrecy.
The artist's name is misspelled in the HN title. There is no H in it.
I think their strategy is to commoditize the Next.js and Gatsby differentiation; They host all JAM-stacks pretty equally. The add a lot of paid dynamic add-ons that are hard to do statically (and that they told you were BAD_THINGS at the start) like form processing and user management.

I think their model is more realistic as a superset of what Gatsby can offer, but I'm not convinced it justifies 100 million dollars of VC investment. BUT - I'm always off by a factor of 4x (projected costs, effort estimates) so if you think it's worth 25 million, then you should go for it!

Why is this article talking about hypervisor lockin? That's not a relevant topic for CIOs. That's abstracted from your use of a cloud service
I don't actually mind the butterfly keyboard. Back in 2016 I got one of the first laptops with the it, the 12" MacBook, and I'm still using it daily. Also had a 2017 15" which I just upgraded to the new 16". Zero issues with both, and I haven't babied them at all.

While there's not a lot of key travel, it is very clicky and feels satisfying for me to type on. Individual keys are also very stable.
The lockdown is no longer morally justifiable
Federal government has no limits to spending.

This isn't about cost, it's about privatizing space the same way the internet was privatized. Take technology developed in the public sector and allow the private sector to take it.

With the privatization of space, you will get both the same upsides and downsides of privatization.

The only difference between the past, where NASA paid private contractors to build Apollo and the Shuttle is now they are paying a private contractor (SpaceX) but SpaceX gets to sell the tech for others to use besides the government.
> In the US per capita C02 emissions were 15.8 metric tons in 2017.

What about taking a normal person and not an American? Even compared to other developed, Western-type nations, the US emissions are terribly high (only matched by the other 2 large Anglo-Saxon colonies); but triple of UK and France per capita emissions. And those 2 are already over the emission budget.
> Fragile by what measure? The US economy at least appears to be weathering the storm

I'll turn it back around to you: by what measure? Spiking nearly 40m jobless claims isn't weathering the storm. Spiking nearly 40m jobless claims, while continuing to see 2m+ every report, seems to be the opposite of weathering the storm.
>The current big problem with online food shopping is that it's being done by sending low-wage people into ordinary supermarkets. This is inefficient, but until recently this was a niche market.

I agree. People definitely want online/delivery grocery shopping. The problem thus far has been product misses on giving the customer what they want. Ordering online today is too much of a crap shoot. You'll get 80% of what you want with 15% replacements of a dubious nature, and 5% unfulfilled.
While margins are low in shelf-stable grocery staples, profit on that side of the store is usually driven by volume and careful management of labor and process. Margins are also higher on private label goods, so promotional energy is spent on driving consumers to those products. At the store level, most grocery chains have started to increase their food service and perishable offerings, which traditionally have much higher (and more stable) margin which augments the profitability of any individual outlet.
> Turns out they've made me more expressive, energetic, and connected to others in my life.

Sounds like you did lose who you were, medications change your personality and that's not something I want for myself. More power to you for undergoing that change, though.
I'm old enough to remember when the left was up in arms because a private bakery didn't wish to bake a cake for a gay couple. It's hilarious watching those same people now argue in support of twitter. They must all be oblivious to their cognitive dissonance.
It's pretty ironic but you miss the fact that the the ones in authority right now are indeed google, twitter, facebook etc. They are in control of the information you see and can curate what you call an "established opinion". Global leaders tweet don't carry any authority if you don't support their view, it is the perception of general opinion those tech companies create with their algorithm that creates this authority. Certainly, assigning CNN as the Washington Post as "fact checkers" is not a good start or stringent, it is simply touting an opinion which is not going to change anything because no Trump supporter takes the CNN seriously.
The company I work for cut salaries either 25 or 50%, depending on the employee. Non-exempt employees had their hours cut either 25 or 50%. A few were furloughed. (We have about 1000 employees.)
The metric used by Stack Overflow is "% of developers who are developing with the language or technology and have expressed interest in continuing to develop with it", so it seems likely to me are likely to have some understanding of what writing Rust code is like.

You seem to equate "actual professional" with "meaningful complexity" or "deployed to production", which seems limited. I'm pretty sure I've written meaningfully complex code outside my day job -- and I would guess many open source developers write such code outside the context of their job.
I must be in a silent minority that likes quieter keyboards with less travel. So more butterfly keyboard please...
This is a great post and makes me miss this type of content.

In any objective comparison, the competition blows Apple out of the water for features, specs, and user freedom at any given price point.
Well, considering how huge that branch is, if he didn’t stop once the courts ordered him to, Congress could remove him from office, and he’d be “escorted” out of the White House by the Secret Service.
That would be fascinating. But Apple is so secretive, and punishes leakers, so that's pretty unlikely.

If we could go back in time and design some critical thinking curriculum, are you sure you could teach something useful to those struggling 10-year-olds, that would keep their adult selves away from Internet bullshit?

Yes. That's why I made the suggestion to begin this thread with. What those 10-year-olds who grow-up to become adults (as we all do) do with that information is impossible to ever truly know, but I think something of value could be taught, yes, absolutely.

But I disagree that funding is a red-herring, no it's not solely about the money, but as I said: curriculum implementation does not happen in a vacuum. It's relevant, and I don't see many useful discussions about implementation specifically happening without it. If there's a discussion to be had about the ethics or merits of media literacy, sure money probably doesn't carry as much weight--but I'm trying to speak as broadly as possible on the topic to avoid the trappings of turtles-all-the-way-down kvetching about the stylistics over how the discussion is framed.
That python one is not a memory leak, it is just uncareful use of resources.
This is our very first public launch, and auditing/analytics are next up on our roadmap! Just to be clear, we do not currently and do not plan to intercept any traffic—any client application connections remain encrypted inside of our TLS transport tunnel. What we will be providing is connection-level analytics for Twingate traffic flowing through connectors you deploy on your network. For example, connection start and end times, which authorized user accessed the destination resource and how much data was transferred. How would that fit with your needs?

By the way, this is similar to Cloudflare Access, but we’re protocol agnostic (any TCP or UDP traffic can be proxied) and we don’t require you to change or create any public DNS entries. In fact, our best practice recommendation is that you exclusively use private DNS to cloak your private network.

Diagnostic criteria for anxiety and depression are very broad because they are necessary as tools for practicing doctors seeing patients (as opposed to applying them to a random selection of people). If you turn the process back, and just ask how many people in the population fit under them, you'll always, even in normal times, get an unexpectedly large number. That doesn't imply that anything is wrong or that anything needs to be done about it, doctors don't use them like that. This is approximately the same phenomenon that causes medical students to self-diagnose themselves with every disease they learn about: one of the fundamental factors missing from such a diagnosis is that they haven't walked into a clinic. It's not a bug in the diagnostic criteria, it's just a misapplication of them.

One of the main ways of fighting over-diagnosis is to not apply diagnostic criteria for every known condition to random people who you have no a priori reason to suspect they might have those conditions.
Please, elaborate with some examples.

If you look at reviews of Z-Wave dimmers and switches, as I did recently, GE seems to be not very well regarded, and on the expensive side. Some of the newer brands like Zooz and Inovelli have a lot more features and are cheaper too. I narrowed it down to those two and then recently replaced a bunch of switches with Zooz products. Happy so far. (Can't speak for zigbee.)

The solution is not legitimate metal health institutions, there are many great ones. They are merely powerless to meet their goals when their patients lives are the problem. Instead we need to put the people of this country first. This needs to be enshrined in law and people must be provided a bare minimum to allow them to thrive. Forced poverty to benefit shareholders has had ruinous effects of the people wherever it's been attempted.
Not entirely. I think you can interact with people doing what Sartre describes, and do so in a way that other people can see what is going on - can see the phoniness and gamesmanship of the anti-Semite.

You're not going to persuade people who are playing that game. They're just going to keep playing the game, and enjoy the fact that they're "winning" (in their own terms). But I think you can make it so that they lose in the battle for hearts and minds.
