There is another important pair, too: Vitamin D and Magnesium. But consult your doctor before taking extra amounts of anything.

There is a lot of misinformation on the web around Vitamin D, such as that even high amounts (>= 5000IU) are tolerable and safe. After a blood test showed me Vitamin D deficient, taking 5000IU (that size is readily available over the counter at my grocery store) daily gave me disturbing heart palpitations, which I didn't realize were related to Vitamin D until after thousands of dollars in tests showed my heart to be perfectly healthy. It wasn't until I had slacked off in taking the vitamins and then started taking them again that I discovered the connection. Apparently magnesium has something to do with it, but IANAD. (I was not taking magnesium supplements at the time.) I can tolerate 1000IU occasionally, but people need to be aware that not everyone tolerates supplements (especially high doses) the same.

I was happy to see the article you linked to above only claims Vitamin D is considered safe up to 4000IU. Although IMHO, after my experience, anything over 1000IU should require a prescription. Of course nothing would stop people from taking five 1000IU OTC doses to get 5000IU, but I think most people know better than to take five of the same type of vitamin daily without talking to their doctor first.
It's not equivalent to that at all. They deleted his Tweet because it explicitly called for gun violence against protestors. That's the ostensible reasoning. Can you see why it might be problematic for the president of the nation to do that?
It's time to start demanding more. If the constitution of this website claims this topic is irrelevant, vote with your actions and/or demand that the rules are changed.

This story should not leave our mouths and ears until something is done.
My uncle worked for AT&T and he said he was installing hardware to do wiretaps all the time. I don't know the exact specifics, but he would only go so far with the tap, someone later would come in and complete it, presumably from the NSA.
Contracts are for a specific time period, 12 months for example. FTE has no expiration date.
With DNSSEC, when it becomes instantly clear that the United States Government controls .COM, Google can simply leave .COM, and tell every Google user in the United States never to use the tainted GOOGLE.COM domain, and all the users will stop using .COM and start using the new Google domain name, because that is how things work in the real world.
What a coincidence, I literally saw the comment on the Supabase thread about PostgREST yesterday. I wonder how does this handle server side tasks like sending emails etc?
My fantasy is that the day Trump stops being president, Twitter bans him with no explanation or comment.
Twitter's stock price had far too much to gain to lose the traffic he brought. They are complicit in the current state of affairs.

If they were forced to choose between going bankrupt and having traditional in-person classes, they would be offering in-person classes right now and allowing people to “opt-out” to the remote version.

These companies aren’t arbitrarily choosing to educate people remotely. They’re adapting to the situation.

Likewise, it would be unreasonable for employers to cut people’s compensation for working remotely under the assumption that remote work is less efficient and therefore the company deserves a refund.

> If it was because the reporters here were 'too close' then that does kind of fit the narrative the cops gave

They were live on TV, so you can tell the cop's explanation was BS. When told they had to move, the reporter asked where was OK, at which point he was arrested. The crew was given no chance to comply with the orders.
I'm aware of the prefers-color-scheme stuff added to browsers. AFAICT, only Firefox supports setting it at the browser level, while others will inherit from the system.

This would still remove the visitors ability to say "I want THIS SITE to be in light/dark mode", without affecting all other sites / apps on their system. This page could support reading from the browser/OS, while still giving the choice on top of that.

Again, this choice was probably implemented ... to give the user a choice.
None of these explainations for how this reprehensible behavior came to pass, suggest to me that it's unfair or unreasonable to call it, and the entities who do it, reprehensible.
Any order? Even illegal ones?
These seem like flagrant violations of constitutional rights; I would be interested to hear from a lawyer what kind of legal liability the police (as a department and as individual bad-apple officers) are opening themselves up to by behaving this way. Hopefully justice is served and constitutional rights are protected.
Shooting people is not even remotely a correct response to looting. It's why someone might be court marshalled, or dishonorably discharged.

The funny thing is...I remember back when we held the US President to a higher standard than say, the worst soldier in the National Guard. Just because he is making a public statement does not remove the ability of the platform to fact check or accompany it with the idea that it's wrong. News broadcasters can freely air Trump speeches and pair them with fact checks.
If trump would like to not be editorialized, he should post this statement on the White Houses's site. The fact of the matter is that he uses twitter for the audience, the claps, the viral followers. Twitter is not a public place, he is using their service for their service and to reach their users. They have every right to make statements on this and enforce their rules.
This argument lacks so much nuance, yet I see it in every thread where a communication platform dictates who can and can't be heard.

The danger in the idea of "just find another X" is that, if you are willing to believe that the action in question justifies an open platform's prerogative to censor, then it follows that every alternative platform do the same. This creates black holes, if you will, that are incredibly easy for dissenters to fall down.

I'm not saying that I support Trump's message. But, as a society, we have to be nuanced about this and figure out what constitutes a right to use on massive platforms like Twitter. Twitter isn't just some dinky website. If you are worried about Russians/Chinese/Republicans swaying elections on social media, then you'd better be worried about how Twitter itself picks and chooses what you see.

After all, exactly how many levels down will we go?

Twitter: You can pay your own hosting fees.

Namecheap: Your users can find you at your IP address.

AWS: You can run your own server hardware.

Intel: You can build your own CPU.

Electric Co.: You can generate your own electricity.

VISA: You can take payments in cash.

Hospital: You can use your own butterfly strips and an ibuprofen.

United States: You can find your own country.
I too was thinking there would be a category theory angle on this, but of course it makes sense to have diverse interests.

The question of whether musical notation is Turing complete, and what it might mean if it were, would have been an interesting one for a category theorist to examine.
I agree with this, free enterprise is amazing. A company should be free to set the standards of the service they provide. But I also believe that Standard Oil needed to be broken up and Microsoft needed to be reined in. I believe we all feel the need to exercise some degree of oversight on these giant corporations. Not long ago there was a lot of discussion about Hobby Lobby and its fight against some of the healthcare regulations passed by President Obama. Issues are always more nuanced than the internet makes them appear. I believe there is plenty of divisiveness on both sides, it doesn't take much to find examples of both. That is kind of my point, we are feeding a monster and don't seem to realize it.
Your solution is "if you can't get a good job, just get a better job?" And you think no one's thought of that already?
The crew headed by the white reporter moved when police asked, they were behind “the line”. The crew that was arrested should not have been but it’s not the same scenario.

Are you sure it’s as simple as “this guy was black”? If you aren’t sure it seems like a bad accusation to make.

Well if you have accepted a contract offer isn't google in breach of contract?

Self employed contractors seem to get a really bad deal in the USA. If I had agreed a contract in the UK for x months work id expect the employer to honour it and also be paid 2 to 3 times the FTE rate .
The person quoted in the article was hired as a recruiter. Last time there was a recession, Google axed all its recruiters. If they are unloading their recruiter organization, that says a lot about their full-time hiring rate right now.
If the threat of violence wasn't there, there would be no police.
Justice and investigation, due process and responsibility to the public. Exactly what 99.9% of the protesters who are not looting are saying.
Celery for scheduled jobs seem to not be a supported design pattern at all, and any job that starts to potentially come close to the 1 hour timeout seems to get annoying to work with in celery. It seems primarily designed to send emails in response to web requests, which is not the use case most people are discussing here.
I don't necessarily agree that this article is not appropriate for HN, but I do agree with the parent that, in general, it is not an appropriate venue for political discussions.

That is not to say that political discussions shouldn't be had -- simply that they shouldn't be had everywhere. In particular, different venues are appropriate for different discussions, and in my opinion we don't benefit if all spaces consist of homogenized topics.

If I want to discuss and learn about tech, HN is a good venue for that. If I want to learn about cooking, I might go to Youtube or Chowhound. If I want to delve into politics, I might go to NYT or Reddit.

However, when I'm searching for a recipe for banana bread, I don't care to discuss politics in the comments of that post, nor do I consider that preference to be burying my head in the sand. Adjustments to the amount of baking soda, or the replacement of bananas with plantains, yes; "orange man bad", no. Not because I don't agree, or because I am ignoring politics, but simply because it's not the place to have that conversation.
Layoffs (especially of 2k people) are interpreted as the company being in trouble. Letting contractors go is interpreted as business as usual.

Defaults matter. FTEs are default live; they stay unless laid off or fired. Contractors are default dead; they're gone unless the contract is renewed. In this case they've rescinded offers that were made, which makes it unusual and newsworthy.
It's also the case that some companies will hire MORE contractors at this point because they are more easily disposable than employees

At will employment can be terminated at any time. Contracts can also be terminated whenever the company decides, as per the present example. Not sure what that has to do with my question.

Thank you for taking the time to illustrate many points. I appreciate the informationa and further explanation.

And let the Streisand Effect begin.
I was taking a class that transitioned online. (University extension school, biostatistics). So the networking and campus related activities don't relate to me. At the extension school, some classes were taught online already (this one was in person only).

I felt the teaching staff made a pretty huge effort to get things online and running well. I'm sure they weren't getting paid more to make the transition.

There was a general feeling of, this sucks but lets through it. It was a lot more work for faculty and students (It takes longer to learn material remotely, at least for me..). I don't think diplomas will have asterix next to them, saying "finished online", like the article indicates.

Going forward, what tuition is going to be if classes are online in the fall is another issue. I'm guessing universities will charge what they can.
"Them vs us" is also how the judicial system and most of western philosophy is structured. Another part of this can be the reluctance of good cops to come out against bad cops.

Training is the big thing. Following their PATH training would have prevented the recent death. Another thing that is helpful in general is for the public to be trained in how to deal with the police and what their rights are.

You also need accountability for when training is not followed. There are laws granting amnesty for most official actions police make, so these would have to change.

The only technical thing I see being an asset to prevent or reduce force escalation would be body cameras, both for police (required) and citizens (optional). This could hold people accountable for their actions, but only if the policies change too.
All these articles about different individual nutrients start to feel like heath whack-a-mole.

How about this: to be in the best possible position to beat any serious infection, you need to be in generally good health.

That means having adequate levels of all essential nutrients - i.e., all the vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes etc that you get from maintaining a good diet and healthy lifestyle over the long term.

To focus on just one nutrient as a pandemic looms just isn't the answer; it's not how health works.

That said, I've personally researched what nutrients (note the plural) are most important for beating an infection like this, and have adjusted my nutrient intake somewhat, and recommended to close relatives they do the same. But this is after I and they have spent many years researching and maintaining good health practices.

Update: if I was in not-so-good health (and not in medical treatment for a diagnosed condition, in which case, consult your doctor), my approach would be:

- boost my amino acids, fatty acids and minerals with a few spoonfuls of hemp seeds every day

- take extra supplements of vitamins A, B complex, C and D (and perhaps K?)

- do plenty of walking in the fresh air and sun,

- keep a generally healthy diet of good quality protein and veg.

Update 2: Others are mentioning Vitamin K, which seems like a good idea to supplement if you're generally nutrient deficient, but may not be necessary if you have a good diet. [1]

Disclaimer: not a health professional, but have had personal reasons to get very knowledgable about health and diet over many years.

do not begin taking dietary supplements after reading a preprint headline or conclusion.

If I wasn't already taking them (adding C and D for good measure), I would start right now. One thing is chloroquine with its risky side effects (and it seems useles after all) and another very different thing is a vitamin supplement that's good for your health anyway.
Airflow is 100% better at chaining jobs together than cron. The Airflow scheduler makes it so you don’t have to worry about putting “sleep” calls in your bash scripts to wait for some conditions to be met, and allows for non-linear orchestration of jobs. You might have different flows that need to run on different schedules, and with airflow, you can wait until one flow is done before the other starts.
I'm not actually against the idea, but arbitrary blocklists would accelerate bubbling people away from anyone who could possibly think differently from them, which has its own issues.

Keep in mind that the concept of profanity varies greatly from region to region (and audience to audience). For example, where I live, "fk" and "ct" are fairly common words to say. But ironically, expletives including "god" are shocking.
The crew headed by the black reporter was complying and simply asking where was OK to move to when they were arrested.
We agree with each other. I think you may have accidentally misread the comment you're replying to.
This article is using “contractor” to mean whatever they want it to mean. They’re not talking about highly paid independent software developers working on contract. They’re talking about at-will employees of a third party that Google contracted with to fill low-skill positions.

Primary problem for me is spending so much time setting up these monsters to do what's basically a set of cronjobs. What's the most simplest system out there that can be highly available and deployed as easily as possible?

Another question is, I strongly feel like the definition of pipelines should not be in code, but in the database. I keep coming back to that design pattern every time I start coding my own simple scheduling solution. Is there merit to this thought?
This is a pragmatic point of view, not necessarily what I believe is "right":

Generally speaking, you don't stand around and try to have a conversation with the police. In a tough situation, the very last priority of the police is helping CNN get a nice camera shot.

Had they moved immediately upon being given the order to clear the street, then attempted to have the conversation, they likely would not have faced arrest.

This is just the straw that is popping the college bubble.

My Alma mater has 15 administrators who make 2-3x more than the President did when I graduated. The President makes $5 million+. The VP/Dean of HR makes > $1 million.

Administrators took a 5% pay cut. Lots of professors are furloughed or laid off.

The school did all kinds of shenanigans to hang onto as much tuition/board/food money as they could. Students are not getting what they paid for, so of course they are suing.

It's the same story as every other industry in the US.. the administrators/executives trying to rob everyone blind while they can.

Alumni have been furious for years now, this isn't helping.
That comic always rubbed me the wrong way. I think that there's two big things:

1. Regardless of whether the First Amendment legally compels it, I don't think that a healthy democracy can exist in a society that doesn't have tolerance for unpopular speech.

2. I disagree that citing free speech means that you are saying that "the most compelling thing you can say for your position is that it isn't literally illegal to express". What if you applied that same logic to other rights? For example, is Black Lives Matter saying that "the most you can say about black people is that they shouldn't be killed"? That would be ridiculous.

Basically, I think the comic misses the point: the First Amendment establishes the absolute minimum amount of tolerance for a society to not be authoritarian. It doesn't on it's own define the full extent of what constitutes the right to free speech in a healthy democracy.
Investors should step in and pay the kids off (since these lawsuits are either guaranteed losers or will take years to settle). Then in exchange take a % of their future earnings. Vary the % and timeline based on the degree they're seeking.

It looked like they were hauling people off one-by-one, which could reasonably be standard procedure for riot situations. Isolate individuals from the group and handle them separately - that sort of thing.

Moreover, they started with the reporter, since he seemed to be the leader of the group (e.g. he was the one doing the talking).
Large scale botnets would likely be employed.
It has a video editor that's actually quite good, and designed for fine-tuned output, as opposed to most free software available for video editing, which is either of low-quality or has very little output or compositing control.
There's a legal difference at these volumes. The WARN Act applies here and states may have their own laws that also apply.

Agreed. CC mining would be CPU on most servers, and go undetected for the same reasons. Some servers and gaming rigs would have GPUs, but not many vs CPUs.

True, this is just an expected curtesy, just like the 2 week notice an employee is supposed to give when leaving.
All citizens of the territories and Puerto Rico have full US citizenship and vote in Presidential elections. Those citizens are free to move to the US mainland at anytime. In fact, living in US territories provides special tax advantages that are not available to US citizens in the mainland. There are historical and other reasons the territories aren't states -- Puerto Rico voters in particular have't supported statehood, and the other territories are very small and remote.
> I'm not sure what your point is. Is it that it's okay to arrest them if they're not live?

The point is that it's not even in the officers' own self-interest.

This is correct. The Expensive Tissue Hypothesis of brain/gut development pretty clearly shows that a switch to eating meat and hunting coincided with a shortening of our intestines and enlarging of our brain, making us human.
