I think Duo is here to stay. Google is even tightening the integration of Duo with the Android dialer, while at the same time doing things like dramatically improving group calls and integrating it with Google Home devices.
Good point and interesting idea, but it's well established in common usage and the field of AGI that the term is meant to refer to human-like intelligence. So that's the default understanding, and you would need to qualify the term to mean something more general as you are describing.
exactly, we've also learned that not all lockdowns are equal. Super-spreader events seem to be the driving force behind this pandemic, using effective measures we can avoid and learn to deal with super-spreader events while also allowing society to continue at a more normal rate.
Or maybe it highlights how behind the media is in reporting reality?

I mean I agree that science community should consider some aspects of communication, but every participant in this chain should act responsibly.
Once we put the blame squarly on the scientists, we absolve the actual bad actors.

With the situation you describe above, the fault is with the press for not doing due diligence. Not with the scientists telling the facts.
These particular ones won't stay in orbit long. If left to decay naturally, maybe 5-10 years (tending towards the lower side of that range, but there's unpredictable factors that can have an impact e.g. space weather). However orbital decay times increase exponentially(ish) with your height. At the higher orbits they've gotten permission to use, it can take more like 200-1000 years to decay naturally
This is really well put.

I've also noticed that, while not really relevant here, small talk is a good way to gauge people's interest in having a conversation at all. If you dive right into big topics like hopes and dreams right off the bat, the other person might not be engaged, but if you ease your way in with small talk and receive a lot of energy back, that can be a positive signal to get to the deeper stuff.
This is easy for Apple to do since every iPhone is serialized with the serial number on the outside of the box. It's trivial for Apple to log the serial number of every phone sent to a store. It's also trivial for Apple to record every serial number that was legitimately purchased or used to fulfill a Apple Care claim. It takes an employee a little bit of effort to scan the remaining stock, but once they have the list of what they are supposed to have in stock compared to what they actually have in stock they know exactly what serial numbers are missing.

It's also useful to de-incentivize regular theft from an Apple Store. It's a pain to do this often enough to catch low quantity type thefts, but if a manager opens their store and realizes that someone stole 100 iPhones the night before, then it's definitely worth the effort to figure out which serial numbers were stolen and track them. It's also worth it to investigate the employee that didn't lock up properly the night before.

Stolen phones become much less valuable if word gets out that Apple tracks them. A stolen phone still has value as parts, but the value has gone down quite a bit.
My wife & I switched to Telegram, which has quite good browser support.
Anyone I've talked with that believed in abolishing police understood that it would need to be replaced by some kind of other institution. Suddenly removing the police like that is therefore not a valid way to consider the abolishment of police in general.

I'm a bit surprised by someone who's familiar with an anarchist theory to be this naive about this stuff.

Today in Rojava (society in Syria based in part on anarchist principles) they are replacing the police with alternative institutions.

The idea that 'anyone who labors is ipso facto entitled to shelter' is new to me in the context of social contract theory. Where does this idea originate?
I have absolutely no problem finding out that we have a dozen new bugs in production for our 15 year old codebase, because we upgraded our compiler and it revealed places we used undefined or unspecified behavior.

I’d much rather have that than a compiler that evolves slower because its developers worry about existing non-conforming code.

I can always use the old version of the compiler if I don’t want it to break.
Other countries in Europe also have lead epidemiologists and scientists (or technical bodies) making the recommendations that then get turned into policy. Those scientists in Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, Finland, Norway, France, Spain, Italy are as good as Tegnell is.

Also, the medical approach to people getting sick with COVID-19 has significantly improved over the first month (e.g., early hospitalisation instead of sending a sick person to isolate themselves at home, weeding out drugs that did not work from those that worked, introduction of drugs to control trombosis and secondary damage from the virus, better approaches to when and how use ventilators, etc.).

That means that a number of the deaths that have occurred within the Swedish policy could have been avoided by delaying the infection. More importantly, Sweden's approach has not even achieved a significant level of immunity, as Swedes have been self-imposing social distancing and even a 'lockdown' (working from home).

In an interview in "unherd", Giesecke estimated that the deaths in UK without lockdown would be in the 12,000 (when they where 13,000), then corrected himself to 24,000 (they are almost 40,000 now), and then said they will not be 10x 12,000.

On freedom. The lockdown for reasons of public health is a limitation of our freedom that has been accepted (except in Sweden) by their citizens in their respective contracts as a society (constitutions, laws, etc.). So, per se, it's a limitation akin to not driving over a certain speed in certain roads. Moreover, many people (and students) have reported that the lockdown has been "liberating" - and for others have been depressing (it never rains to everyone's liking)

On ending the lockdown. Tegnell and Giesecke repeat and repeat and repeat that countries imposed a lockdown without a strategy out. Well that's just dire false. When the lockdown was being discussed, the press was already pointing that issue and several strategies were being considered (press from March already discusses the measure by measure approach).

But, whereas other countries are looking conservatively with the evidence (that could be flawed because it is small and incomplete) that they already have, Sweden is relying in an evidence that will only be apparent in the future (if the events turn out to be advantageous for that approach).

If each country had been given an "ant population" with some infected individuals and their epidemiologists needed to manage the epidemic long term while a cure for the ant's illness is found, maybe, the Sweden's approach would have made more sense... At least, most people wouldn't have had much feelings for those ants that could have lived a couple of days longer.
Motherfucker!

That's only a problem when these sites get posted a lot.

Why is this not flagged? No need to read after “support for democratic party initiatives like BLM” to get the idea. Is HN becoming a conspiracy theories subreddit?

Hope this person rereads his BS piece and feel ashamed and appalled by his profound stupidity as we are reading it.
Also, the average homicide of working age males (87% of police are male) is about 10 per 100,000. This is slightly higher than the rate for police (about 8-9 per 100,000). The remaining 4.9 per 100k police fatalities are mostly car accidents, which is also pretty small considering how many miles they drive every day).

I can understand how it might feel scary, though. Just because they don't have much worse outcomes than the average American of their demographic doesn't mean that they don't have more terrifying experiences than average. That's not an excuse, though. Abusive parents are often reacting to past trauma that was inflicted on them, but we still shouldn't allow them to abuse their children. Protecting the public in a constitutional way needs to be the top priority. Officer safety and wellbeing come close behind, but they should still always be in second place.
My thoughts exactly. While they are busy embracing Linux, they should look into adopting its mindset of having one program (web-app?) do one thing well, and only one thing. It would be a shame if the base github.com got bloated.
No, it's a different institution based on different ways of organising power. For another example of this see Civil Defense Forces in Rojava[0] which are organized democratically.

I would, perhaps because I've paid attention to the news showing army trucks racing around the city with people in biohazard gear and military units setting up emergency hospitals with capacity for thousands of beds and, in case of Madrid, commandeering an ice rink to serve as emergency morgue.

Staying at home for a couple of weeks is easy least in comparison. All it takes is a dash of political leadership.

So yeah, op is right on the money.

yea, the fact that most children get the flu is a counter example to herd immunity. Full scale herd immunity would protect vulnerable members of societies (who don't have immunity) of contracting the disease in the first place.
The compiler doesn’t do a good job of revealing undefined behavior, it usually just makes your program break in mysterious ways.
Holy macaroni this looks exciting!! Sadly it only supports a rather short list of cameras, their latest and greatest by the looks of things. The whole 5D range normally gets this sort of thing but this time it starts on the IV unfortunately.
Seeing your mistakes might be useful in reassuring the teacher that you did the work yourself, rather than simply plagiarising the solution from somewhere else.
We have to be careful with the "unproven" part, it was first approved for medical use in 1955 so it's side effects and safety are well known.

It's "unproven" as a treatment for COVID but pascal's wager would say that there is no harm in taking it.

How do you keep the spiral from getting crushed in your pocket? That's a big factor that keeps me using notebooks with sewn bindings instead of spirals.
Bypassing ad-blockers is simple enough, just roll your own custom domain. I'm working on a blog post that covers how we (Fathom) did this with Caddy as a multi-region reverse proxy
I appreciate such efforts and consider QWERTY more or less a historical accident. But how do you actually use these layouts? Do you pull the keys from your keyboard and rearrange them physically? But what about notebooks then where this is often not possible? Or do you train you brain to remember the key positions so that it doesn't matter what character is printed on a key? But how do you _learn_ the layout then?

The longer I think about it the more I come to the conclusion that you have to hammer the new layout into your head, since there are many situations, like the keyboard of a colleague, where the physical layout wouldn't match. But again: how to learn it efficiently without a lot of frustrating typing errors?

The best would be some kind of official standard and the introduction of a new layout in schools.

It was a common phrase of Brzezinski during the Cold War era to describe the Soviet Union (or East Block countries) as "Communist Experiments" (vs. USA as the Proto-Capitalist Experiment country). I'm not sure if he'd did that in the english version of his books though.

One of his German ones is called: "Das gescheiterte Experiment: Der Untergang des kommunistischen Systems" (The failed experiment: the fall of the communist system".
You might if the compiler yelled at you for it before you shipped, but it’s just as likely to compile your code into something you didn’t really foresee…
Why did you create a throaway account to post this? Are you just trolling?

There are already lots of tools that allow for blind screening and mostly blind interviews. These are options baked into existing tooling like Greenhouse and Pinpoint.

That said, you can't conduct hiring without bias. It sounds like you want tech to magically wave away bias, but it is not capable of that. Instead, you must recognize bias and acknowledge and then work hard to overcome it.
I'd argue that that is irrelevant. What's the point in having anything other than a flip phone if you refuse to download apps. It's not a barrier to entry in every other case and it's never been a barrier to entry with my friends.

WhatsApp sucks. Message delivery/notifications are unreliable, the interface is hideous, it lacks the Tapback/reaction feature which is heavily used in iMessage, and it dumps pics from group chats into your photo library automatically, as if you took them yourself. Idiot posts racist meme to a group chat? It lives in your photos library forever until you notice and manually delete.

Notifications being sporadically (at best) delivered is the real deal breaker for me.

What’s more fun than a party you missed because WhatsApp didn’t feel like delivering notifications for a day?
> But, for instance, while private citizens may have guns for self-defense, they're unlikely to have tear gas, rubber bullets, armored vehicles, Stingrays, etc.

So the civilian watch would effectively only have lethal force to stop a threat then? All of those things have a purpose. Armored vehicles for example are most often used to approach armed suspects who have holed themselves up in a defensive position without risking seat or police lives. Stingrays are used to track gang, cartel, weapons dealing, and terrorist activities.

You could argue that only federal entities should have that power, but then the FBI/DEA/ATF would inevitably fill the power vacuum and take over a lot of roles that would otherwise be done by police. The alternative of course if that we simply don't use Stingrays, armored vehicles, riot shields and rubber bullets, but then a lot of crime would go unpunished either from lack of information gathering or simply from fear of death (for example, a civilian with just a gun would have a much higher chance of death trying to free a child from an armed abductor that a swat team with armored vehicles, bulletproof shields, etc.)
No, millions of existing copyrighted works are not automatically examples of works which would not have been created without copyright. Compensation is also not synonymous with exclusive rights.

Academics have already calculated the optimal balance, in particular the optimal copyright term. It's probably in the region of the original 14 years instead of the current ~150.

Duo is great comparing to others, and for cross-platform group calls. I do use it when I need to call on Android devices.

But Facetime is still superior on iOS and MacOs. When it comes to calls in apple ecosystem - it is a no-brainer.
It won't be irradiated without a vaccine or an absurd amount of testing. Too many people have either no symptoms or minor symptoms. Between that and a potentially long incubation period, it'll keep lurking around.
I’m curious, does clang promise to compile deterministically? (This is inspired by your bug but not directly relevant here, it seems?)
The OpenBSD project used to verify gcc (back when it was at 4.2 or so) as compiler for their O/S. Don't know if they still do; I'd imagine it's a lot of effort, and both clang and gcc have churned out yearly releases with ever-growing complexity since. C was once supposed to be a simple language closer to a portable macro assembler than a high-level language, and one for which writing a compiler is relatively straightforward and takes no longer than a year. This went out of the window with clang, and with gcc (and glibc!) being based on C++. Though of course optimizing out-of-order execution on modern CPUs is much more complex than your olde microcontroller-like CPU.
Seconding this, I recently switched to Blackhole. I think because Soundflower is no longer being developed.

> As someone that has never embraced the mobile craze, I sorely missed the ability of texting (or “iMessaging”) from my PC, and came to absolutely despise having to drag my phone out of my pocket and text from its cramped display, constantly fighting autoincorrect and embarrassing myself with typos and misspellings.

An alternative solution is to use a Bluetooth keyboard, possibly with multi-device support and device switching shortcuts, attached to an iPhone or iPad sitting on a stand.
I actually agreee. The conclusion I came to at the end of it was that learning a new keyboard layout was basically a waste of time for most people for a number of reasons. First of all there's no actual science that proves it's ergonomic efficacy and if it does actually accomplish anything it's negligible compared to other things you could do instead. On top of that it makes interfacing with other people's computers an absolute nightmare. It also has random bugs and quirks if you use software based implementations where it randomly won't work in vnc or a virtual machine or whatever. I actually did it just because I'm a technical masochist and it was fun, not because of some delusion of actually fixing anything. I wound up switching back to qwerty in the end.

As for picking up a split keyboard being easy, that isn't necessarily the case depending on how messed up your typing is. You may need to relearn how to properly type to use them. That said I would agree that you would get MUCH more ergonomic benefits from switching to a split keyboard than you would from learning a new keyboard layout with a fraction of the work required.

>When you're "back up to 30wpm after a week of training" you're still typing at crippled speeds.

This definitely isn't true. You are actually just under the average typing speed. Also if you are doing stuff like programming or many other things your 70+ wmp typing isn't actually doing anything for you because your are already bottlenecked by thinking and other such things. Typing at 30wpm isn't nearly as bad as you think it is. Also you continue to improve from there.
Thanks for posting this, reading about all the progress made with delay tolerant networking is exciting!

Only partly related, but if you are an aging programmer like me you should consider using a vertical mouse. They are a total eyesore, but switching from a normal mouse is almost seamless and they can dramatically reduce wrist strain.
I remember reading the roaming deals are sweetheart deals that goes both ways. So similarity, the French telecoms would charge Canadian incumbents a very low price while roaming on France.
I too suffered from wrist pain and fatigue in the past. The experimentation with different layouts helped a little but it felt like micro-optimization. What actually resolved the problem was switching to an unorthodox ergonomic keyboard where none of the keys required straining or unnecessary effort (kinesis advantage, using a different one these days). Also, most common problems were caused by placement of special keys (shift, ctrl, backspace, enter) and that's not something colemak, dvorak or their friends seem to be addressing.

I see analogy to guitar playing here. No matter how well you figure out finger positioning for a complex passage, you won't be playing with ease unless your elbow, wrist and spine are also positioned properly.
If you match it's speed you already burned all the fuel you'd have to burn to get where it's going.
According to classical theory, just like with capital, the cost of labor should converge to the marginal cost that was needed to produce it (i.e. to zero profit for the employee). Of course it doesn't mean that everybody has to have to the same wage (for example, if your job requires more education, that's additional cost).

But if profit (value) is created in the economy as a whole (that is the reason to have it in the first place), and yet every unit in it converges to have zero profit (marginal revenue = marginal cost), what happens with all the extra money?

Or ask the other way around. Under neoclassical theory, the price of all commodities should converge to their costs. If labor is just another commodity, it should be true for labor as well. What is different for labor, from the perspective of the neoclassical theory, that it wouldn't behave like that?

I think the neoclassical theory is inconsistent, and the assumption, that because all these can converge to zero profit independently, they also can converge altogether, is simply wrong. Therefore, there will always be an area in the economy, which doesn't operate according to neoclassical theory, where the profits are close to zero, that is, there will a component of income that cannot be explained away by costs (which is what the article is trying to do).
Suppose you had a car worth $400k.

What assurances would you want before loaning it to someone to drive cross-country and back? Would you want to see their driving record? Would you want to know their financial situation?
