The way I read their proposal is them saying: "we're doing this new thing in our network gear. we can either standardize on it or you're going to have to deal with integrating with our proprietary systems yourself."

So to me, the real question is whether huawei has large enough presence to force everyone to "wear fluffy pink hats every third Wednesday of the month". Their strong presence in developing countries seems to suggest so.
My Windows desktop will routinely be using over 20GB of RAM with just Firefox with a few tabs, not even a dozen, Discord, and Teams running. It's boggling to me that people can run hundreds of tabs, even though I have definitely seen it. Watching them fumble around trying to find the right tab is also hilarious. It's like a roulette game.
The funny thing is, the local zoo had no problem taking your picture and printing it onto a all-year ticket 15 years ago, but I found it quite annoying that you are required to bring your own photo when applying for a new passport.
As I went through renewing my passport some weeks ago, having your picture taken with a webcam in the office would ad no complication to the process - any aesthetic value is lost by the time it is on the passport anyway.
Sent him an email. Let's see what he says.
Nope. I know people who would have had to drive two or three hours to a USPS location that could do passport photos. And then, it's only done for a couple of hours a day, one or two days a week.

Instead, they went to the photo department of the pharmacy 15 minutes away and got it done.

Why stop at buses? Why not have drones land on self-driving cars that integrate with Bluetooth?

Never mind the noise; we'll design the cars such they output the inverse frequencies being output by the drones, canceling out their sound.

Even better, the drones can be designed to look like pies.

That behavior is fine if it’s your primary app, but it sucks if you’re not constantly checking.

Practically, the things that people are advocating for with defunding are things like stopping paid administrative leave for cops under investigation, cutting pensions and rehire rates for cops who use excessive force, require cops to be liable for a portion of their misconduct claims, do not pay for military exercises, withdraw from police military equipment programs, etc.

The disband crowd still wants people patrolling and available to deal with emergencies, but generally wants them to be specialized, unarmed, and focused on peace rather than violence. Ensure we have mental health specialists on call, dedicated people focused on addressing the homeless community, etc. Yes, we'll need a few folks who are trained to use force, but that shouldn't be the normal mode of police.

Hard to tell, I'm not a computer; but it does look better than most. To be fair (to me), I was basing my critique on the picture in TFA, which seems to have far more detail in it.

That said, the whole point of my post was that humans are really bad at judging this. Many blur algorithms can be reversed because they just modify the color values of the pixels in a reversible way. You can't always tell by looking at a picture what data is still there, in much the same way you can't see the stars in an ISO 200 picture of the night sky. It's not until you open it in GIMP and crank the exposure up to max that you see just how much data is there that your eyes couldn't perceive.
What the fuck?

The state of Emergency (we had 3) lasted 6 weeks and during this time, bars, restaurants, car stands and a bunch of other stores were closed. They closed lojas do cidadao (?still many aren't open) and essential services were by appointment only.

Not by the owners but by the government: https://www.jornaldenegocios.pt/economia/coronavirus/detalhe...

'Que estabelecimentos encerram obrigatoriamente?
Todos os estabelecimentos que não prestem serviços essenciais ou forneçam bens de primeira necessidade são obrigados a fechar portas. O diploma do Governo é exaustivo na lista que inclui: todos os locais de atividades de lazer e diversão, como bares, discotecas, zoos ou parques de diversões; locais de atividades culturais, como auditórios, cinemas, teatros, bibliotecas, galerias ou praças de touros; locais de atividades desportivas, como campos de futebol, courts de ténis, ringues de patinagem ou ginásios e academias; termas, casinos, salões de jogos, bares, esplanadas e restauração em geral.'

Layoff (furlough for other countries) was used to around one million people. 10% of the population and about 25% of the active population, and you are telling me that people just decided to stay at home and gov didn't ordered anything?

Basically, if it didn't sell food or medicine, chances it was closed, and not by choice. There were 117 people arrested and 311 stores/businesses where police/asa forcibly closed them: https://www.cmjornal.pt/portugal/detalhe/estado-de-emergenci...

Please, I don't know where the fuck you lived during the State of Emergency, but saying it was just 'social duty to home confinement' is a joke to what really happened here. The economic and social damage done was huge.

Oh, thanks. That's... something else.
The same deep legal trouble applies to individuals sending manipulated photos, though.

And if you are a criminal who wants to obtain a fake passport, it's probably not out of your reach to use social engineering to convince your photographer to plug a USB stick with malware into their computer.

It does raise the bar of difficulty slightly, but it also gives criminals plausible deniability.

Yes, but what leads to anxiety? Toxic team dynamics. Google did a study and found the number one predictor of strong teams was a feeling of "psychological safety."

> Within psychology, researchers sometimes colloquially refer to traits like ‘‘conversational turn-taking’’ and ‘‘average social sensitivity’’ as aspects of what’s known as psychological safety — a group culture that the Harvard Business School professor Amy Edmondson defines as a ‘‘shared belief held by members of a team that the team is safe for interpersonal risk-taking.’’ Psychological safety is ‘‘a sense of confidence that the team will not embarrass, reject or punish someone for speaking up,’’ Edmondson wrote in a study published in 1999. ‘‘It describes a team climate characterized by interpersonal trust and mutual respect in which people are comfortable being themselves.’’

https://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/28/magazine/what-google-lear...

My takeaway is you need to be nice, be respectful, and fire toxic people even if they do jump through all the right hoops.

As if that's what we're doing. "Yikes bro", maybe stop straw manning everything I said into some kind of crypto fascist fantasy? Maybe consider that not being able to have your elderly parents take the subway when they visit - because of risk of violence, or you just don't want them around open injection drug use - is a sign that what we're doing isn't working? We've been trying the decriminalization route for a decade at least. Do you actually think this is "success"? Or has real decriminalization never been tried?

One good "tell" is when the organization requires more and more metrics, tracking, analysis and "data-driven" solutions into user behaviors. Not that these things are necessarily bad in of themselves (assuming user consent) but sometimes it feels like an indicator that the organization has grown so large or added so many layers the management no longer have a gut instinct about their users' needs and so they increasingly rely on the numbers.

And the second rising wave of infections this autumn cause an effective shut down (due to fear if not government action)...
Back when I was college (and that was a while ago now), the 2nd or 3rd year CS students would grade the 1st year CS class (which was required curriculum for all 180 students across all of our technical majors). While we did get paid to do so, it wasn't a lot. There was a strong cultural norm
that doing "grutoring" (grading and tutoring) was just what you did.

I suspect that utilizing near peer style grading would be fairly scalable.
Some companies are democracies. There's nothing that requires a company to be an autocracy, it's just culturally normal (and maybe more efficient when it comes to decision making).
The shut downs were a drastic overcorrection. I'll say it until I'm blue in the face. In retrospect, we will look at it as a dire mistake that triggered a great depression-like event.
Then both would be preferable. :)
Isn't it a little questionable that we are discussing one singular company as being a requirement for a country to remain functional? is this peak capitalism, a monopoly has a country by it's throat and doesn't pay taxes in said country?

Show HN: Bk – Backup Made Easy
- You are working on a file, making many versions, without using git.

If you're like me you would just copy/paste the file and get 'foo (copy1)', 'foo (copy2)' or worse : 'foo (copy1) (copy1)'.

Now with `bk foo.py` you get 'foo_2020-06-04-18-28.py'.

- You are in a folder and want to archive it.

You would normally move-up the FS, then try to remember `tar` flags, then compress, then come back-down to the folder.

Now with `bk -z .` you stay where you are and the job is done, creating '../yourcurrentdir_2020-06-04-18-28.zip'
Well, you're probably training them to be autonomous just like I'm training my dogs to use the dog door.

They're still uncomfortable doing so because they're used to me letting them out, but every so often I let them do their own thing and they eventually find their way out.

Soon it will become habit and they won't depend on me so much anymore.
The funny thing is, as I recently had to renew my ID card, I would have been happy, if the local authorities had offered to take my picture. They rejected the picture I brought, because they claimed my head was angled not straight ahead enough and I had to run out to find someone to take a picture of me. Luckily they could refer me to a local shop nearby which was open at that time, but considering the low quality of those ID photos, having a web cam in the office would be an obvious and easy improvement both to the security and the convenience of the process. They already had a fancy tablet, where I had to provide my signature digitally.

It was successful due to massive amount of money spent by Google.

Because there were languages that are much better suited for what Go was designed for. To name a few: Erlang (concurrency that is better than Go's, "channels" and types on par with Go with Dialyzer), Haskell (thread concurrency better than Erlang's, channels, transaction memory, etc and types well beyond Go) and many others.

Go was successful despite mistakes.
Firefox allows you to show the title bar (View -> Customize, the checkbox is at the bottom left corner). I always have it enabled since it makes it easier to resize and move the browser window around without accidentally moving/tearing off a tab. Also it shows more of the title. In general i prefer having the title bar there.

FWIW i also have the menu bar always visible :-P.

The key for productivity is finding the right amount of anxiety. Just a little so you're not comfortable sitting around, but not so much that it's crippling.

Minor amounts of anxiety when properly channeled isn't a bad thing -- maybe that's just another word for "motivation."

> Having invaded, destabilised, and collapsed most of South America and other parts of the world, all that is left is for America to destabilise itself

Looking back at history, it's not surprising. Every big empire goes down the same way, by destabilizing and tearing itself up.

The Roman Empire, the Mongol Empire, the Byzantines, the Ottamans, everyone went down the same route. Now of-course with the nukes in question the USA might not just break itself up into pieces, but it definitely might exist only as a shadow of itself.
I think it's kind of strange that OP's focus on the framework as the way to determine how replaceable people are. I think unless required, most people have basic familiarity with a framework, and are likely more familiar with the languages that make up said framework. Any Javascript framework or stack (outside of something obscure) is easy to learn (read: doesn't take any real special skill) especially if there is an existing codebase that developers can use to learn from...

I wonder how this will affect the subway station photo booths.

For those that don't know, at least in Berlin (possibly other places) many U-Bahn (Subway) stations have photo booths for passport photos. They're apparently verifiable by the government, but I've never really understood how.

This sounds like those booths will no longer work. Anyone have any more info?
British Lawmaker tells HSBC that China support causes alarm
I understand that Apple is a brand first and foremost, so it's no surprise that they're going to release token PR efforts and publicize their tax shelter non-profits.

I also understand that activists, if they actually knew of the severity of working conditions in the Foxconn factories in Shenzen or the child slaves working in illegal cobalt mines in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to power their smartphones and laptops, they'd stop buying Apple products immediately, full stop.

It's a tragedy to me that a video taken by a smartphone, the privileged end product of the slavery, dehumanization, and political repression of hundreds of thousands outside the West takes precedence over those same anonymous sacrificial lives--anonymous only because they don't live in the West where recording and spreading evidence of violence is trivial.

Here's a tangential fact that should chill every human alive to the bone: George Bush, his administration, and the instruments of his war machine still walk free, without charges, after launching a foreign war of aggression that killed directly and indirectly hundreds of thousands, displaced millions, legitimated torture, indefinite detentions, and drone strikes.

The Patriot Act and the lead-up to the War in Iraq led directly to ICE, the Department of Homeland Security, the militarization of the police, the rejection of the sacrosanctness of civil rights, and the total unaccountability of public officials to the media. Alternate Facts and Fake News began in 2002 with the lies of WMDs in Iraq.

Where is the rioting, the UN pressure, the international protests for charges to be brought against George Bush, the single most responsible individual outside of Derek Chauvin and his fellow officers for the death of George Floyd and hundreds of thousands of others?

If a symbol is made of multiple side-by-side ASCII characters, are there any problems telling where one symbol ends and the next starts?

It is concerning. It's also an incomplete narrative.

The protests are grounded in legitimate grievances, and engaging in public protest is a core right of the citizenry.

The violence effectively delegitimizes these protests in the eyes of millions of fellow citizens. I'm guessing that you may be one of them.
