The website includes a video [0] that explains how it works in more detail too.

It's quite interesting how they evade issues with landing and lifting the plane, lifting the plane by shooting it off a rail seems like a common approach but landing it by catching it using a small hook at the tail of the plane isn't that common I presume.

On their website it says "Gas combustion vehicles break down, get stuck in traffic jams that prevent urgent response, and put human drivers at risk behind the wheel, particularly when the route is rough and treacherous. Zipline’s drones are battery powered and fly quickly and directly to their destinations, leaving ground vehicles behind."
That sounds like an unfair comparison, a more accurate comparison would have been to gas powered drones. Is it still the case for gas powered drones that they're more unreliable than electrical drones? It's probably because of the weight of a gas powered engine in such a small drone no?

Governments have allowed and encouraged companies to become too big to fail. They have failed to evolve anti-trust laws to our modern age of information monopoly, this would of encouraged more openness and competition. Now when these mega-corps run into difficulty they get bailouts. This is definitely not capitalism. All of these companies should be forced to hold reserves given their systemic importance to various industries.

And vendor your dependencies if at all possible, that one library/tool you were using might just disappear of the internet.

Not really. Say I type in “Ikea” into Safari address bar and I have never visited Ikea.com nor is it in my bookmarks; the first option is “Siri suggestions... Ikea.com”. Either click on it or down+enter to go directly to Ikea.com

With Firefox, with the same starting conditions, there is no way to directly go to ikea.com by just typing in Ikea. If there is no history or bookmark then it will take you to a search for Ikea instead
Is that a problem with pneumatic tubes, or with the specific implementation and its management?
> Why would CloudFlare endorse this system if it was just "business as normal but you solve 1/30th of the captchas"?

They don't just endorse it, they developed it. Their argument was that it allowed them to solve the "Tor CAPTCHA problem" (as a Tor user, you see CAPTCHA on almost every page visit to a CloudFlare-fronted site) without breaking the anonymity of Tor users (because CloudFlare is in a position to maliciously track a scary amount of Tor exit traffic).

The idea is that this 1/30 multiplier is meant to reduce the amount of pain Tor users have, without making attackers' jobs easier (a factor of 30 isn't really that much of a change for most attackers and CloudFlare has DDoS protection beyond just CAPTCHA, but it does make a huge difference for normal users).

All of that being said, the Tor project does not endorse the usage of PrivacyPass because they are ethically opposed to the entire concept of having to get a hall pass from CloudFlare to browse large swathes of the internet. And being one of a handful of PrivacyPass users on Tor will reduce your anonymity significantly. The Tor Projecy might also disagree with the privacy claims made by PrivacyPass, but given they are against the very idea of the project I believe they haven't done any actual research into their claims.
In that case it would appear the numbers used for your comments are very susceptible to the widely reported attempts by China to manipulate what is externally reported.

Can't wait to see what scummy monetization tactic brave is found to be using next.

Here's a question for any employees of brave who happen to be reading this: how did this get out the door? It's not like this is the first time the company has been found doing something that most people disagree with, and the fact that it keeps happening means that the process is still very much broken. I have not yet seen any response from brave that gives me confidence that the company has changed from when they were taking youtube donations of creations not signed up to the BAT program
The use of blacklist has been mostly employment-related, and is unrelated to racial issues.

Consider why we think black=bad/sin, white=good/pure, however. These are arbitrary choices.
Any idea why would Zettlr (recommended application for Zettelkasten in the article) called one of the themes "Karl-Marx-Stadt" (which is a name used for Chemnitz during division of Germany).

I know it's a bit off topic - so I guess my comment fits right in HN discussions :D

edit: I figured this out myself; the author of the application is described:

Hendrik Erz is a research assistant at the University of Bonn. His main research focusses on the nexus between Marxist economic theory, digitalisation and violence in capitalist societies (riots and terrorism).
Even worse, it redirects you to the landing page instead of the different language version of the page you were just on.

It's so bad before even trying to look for a language toggle I see if I can replace "de" with "en" in the URL somewhere, drop it altogether, or append a "hl=en" query parameter.
As can be seen in the current protests, it is overwhelmingly the police that is the source of real violence. Killing or hurting even one person is incomparably worse than smashing a few cars or breaking some windows.

And the justice system has also been very visibly complicit with police brutality, almost universally excusing the actions of murderers when those murderers were policemen and women 'doing their duty'. In basically all of the high profile police murders that have rocked the nation, the murderers got away with it so far. So trust in the system is justifiably at an all time low.

>> Is working with recruiters actually makes sense?

Short answer: not really. Job-hunt and apply directly.

Longer answer: Most of them seem to be in the business of collecting CVs (data for sale I presume).

A few really mean work and are the ones that might be worth dealing with. I don't have a good way to tell which is which though until after ghosting.

It tends to be consistent with companies though. E.g. I got that behavior and time waste consistently from Wikimedia, Oracle, Etsy and a few startups. It's also consistent for me (I'm based in Europe) with recruiters that are based in US. I no longer respond to queries related to above companies or recruiters not based in EU but I still get the occasional time waster.

Recruiting seems to be a very unprofessional and inefficient market.

No.

Your link is from 2019. GP is referring to how Zoom has (so far) moved on from those kinds of egregious behaviors, so now in June 2020 we're looking at just regular (non-malicious) code vulnerabilities.
I built a crkbd using a PCB I bought from littlekeyboards.

I was a happy HHKB 2 Pro Type S user for many years, but since switching to the crkbd I have no intention of ever using the HHKB again.

It required minimal soldering (the ProMicro and OLED hotswap sockets). I went through a few sets of switches before I found what I liked, took a few months to find a combination of layers/layouts that worked for me, and had to learn how to use an ortho keyboard in the process, but it was all worth it. (I’m a Dvorak+QWERTY user, and think the switch to ortho was was easier than learning Dvorak, and has a similar feels good motivation to continue learning it.)

I never had RSI problems, but what I did notice was with the split keyboard and tented cases, my posture opened up dramatically. My shoulders no longer have an anterior tilt when I type.

Is it fair to call an action which materially supported oppression of people "personal"? The goal of that action was to deny people the right to marry.
It depends. Doubt that would affect wind resistance if the shape stays the same, only the vibrations would be partially dampened by added piezoelectric generators. Draining some mechanical energy by turning it into heat+electricity might even improve the mechanical properties.
> The linking is done by placing links like these [[20200606154308]] into notes. Most of the slip-box software allows you to click on this link and opens a note with ID 20200606154308 for you.

What's the purpose of using a number to link? Why not use words, like hyperlinks have been doing for decades?
I was only answering to the part about why they suggest virus scan, not the usage of captchas in general. Of course you are right in regards to captchas in general.
So you have script blocker on both and configured same way? I get captcha requests on my firefox with umatrix due to aggressive blocking.
If I understand you correctly, then the answer is no. As strogonoff mentions in his comment[0], most of the frameworks that provide helpers to enable SSR also provides a way to "rehydrate" in the client side. React has to ways of rendering the app to a string, where one of them outputs html that can be used as the basis for rehydration[1], while the other one[2] drops any extra DOM attributes that the former adds.

It's a tradeoff. For example, even a well-equipped kitchen generally doesn't have every sort of one-off small appliance or implement. On the one hand, if you do make a lot of rice, say, a rice cooker makes a lot of sense. If you make rice a few times a year? Probably makes more sense just to make it on the stovetop.

That wasn't necessarily my point. I cannot visiualise how you use self-contained notes for something like book notes or meeting notes, browsing random links just seems completely inefficient and not transporting the actual meaning/context of the notes

Leonardo did "ship" some of the greatest works of art.
Some of those paintings took decades to complete. Which you happily glanced over.

Comparing steve jobs to Leonardo is a discredit to both steve jobs and leonardo.
Its a play on the whole "they warn about the dangers of supply chain hacks". If asked how they can be so sure that is happening, they say: well we would do it that way.

A proven case? Look at Crypto AG. Sure one might argue the whole company was planted, so it doesn't count ...
I wouldn't put too much stock in their exact numbers, but it's not realistic to think that China has had 24 or 12 or even 6 times as many deaths as publicly reported, let alone on a per capita basis.
Ahh, good old Resume Driven Development :D
The argument is that "racism" is not simply discrimination on the basis of race but rather that racism requires structural and systemic bias against an ethnic, racial, religious, etc. subgroup of the population who do not have political power.

As such, you can therefore talk about the racism of the English towards the Irish, even though both are considered "white" by modern standards (though at that time, the English prided themselves as being in the "Anglo-Saxon" race).

And you can certainly use that framework to talk about the genocide of Bosniaks and Bosnian Croats targeted by the Bosnian Serbs with who had local power in the areas controlled by the Army of Republika Srpska.

So to summarize the argument as "you can't be racist towards white people" comes across as a complete misunderstanding of the actual argument.

It's certainly possible for someone who self-identifies as "white" to be discriminated against on the basis of race. But if you want to also call that "racist" then what term do you use for something like Jim Crow laws in the US or apartheid South Africa where racism was truly and without doubt systemic?
Usually you use an ID in place of the title of the note, because you may want to change the title at a later date. If you were to change the title, then you would have to also change any of the links. Therefore, you keep the ID the same and can change the title of the note without breaking any links.
But we also want kids to be curious about "weird and hard." I guess at that point it's the parenting that matters.
This reads almost as a parody of tech entrepreneurship and the modern age. Steve Jobs is more praiseworthy than da Vinci, because he "shipped" products for the consumer market, as compared to da Vinci, who was more interested in artistic and scientific knowledge for its own sake? Is this legitimately what the author thinks?

The post is also wrong/misinformed on a number of things. Da Vinci did intend to build a number of his plans, but was thwarted by the fact that he lived in conflict-ridden Renaissance Italy. For example, his design for a gigantic bronze horse never became a reality as his patron used the bronze for making cannons.

> And that's sort of my point, countries that are willing to act and act quickly (be they communist or capitalist) are faring well and are restarting their economies, ones who's governments have tried to ignore the problem and hope it would go away are doing poorly.

Shocking stuff indeed. You've set the world of epidemiology on fire. What's your point? That in managing a dangerous epidemic communism/authoritarianism does better, or relatively liberal western government styles do better, or that governmental styles are not relevant? Because that was the original question.
We entered this crisis with record levels of household, corporate, and government debt worldwide.

Quoting from a World Bank report warning about record global debt levels on December 19, 2019 -- three months before the lock-downs:

> The global economy has experienced four waves of debt accumulation over the past fifty years. The first three debt waves ended with financial crises in many emerging and developing economies. The latest, since 2010, has already witnessed the largest, fastest and most broad-based increase in debt in these economies. Their total debt has risen by 54 percentage points of GDP to a historic peak of almost 170 percent of GDP in 2018. Current low interest rates mitigate some of the risks associated with high debt. However, emerging and developing economies are also confronted by weak growth prospects, mounting vulnerabilities, and elevated global risks.

I understand nomad, and what you're saying is not how anyone runs it. Directly from their documentation:

"Nomad schedules workloads of various types across a cluster of generic hosts. Because of this, placement is not known in advance and you will need to use service discovery to connect tasks to other services deployed across your cluster. Nomad integrates with Consul to provide service discovery and monitoring."

So one of the very basic features of an orchestrator, which is service discovery, requires consul. Sure, I can use it without consul to just start jobs that don't communicate, but obviously that's that the normal use case of it, and you can see that by looking at their issues list.
1. Don't be scared if the project fails - for whatever reason. Failing can be a good learning experience, if you choose to look at it that way.[see end]

2. Don't be scared to abandon the project. When the work stops being fun ... walk away! You can always revisit it at some point in the future, see if the joy can be rekindled.[also see end]

3. Todo lists are useful ... until they become a burden. I prefer to sketch out some general aims for the project, and some milestones to aim for which I can celebrate achieving. Don't make the project feel like work - unless you really enjoy ticketing up issues and code bugs, in which case: go for it!

[see end] - My longest running personal project is my constructed world. I've been working on it for over four decades now: maps, societies, biology, languages ... whatever takes my interest at the time. Many parts of it have been attempted, then abandoned as my mind moved on to the next Shiny. Languages have been started over from scratch multiple times as I realise the current iteration just doesn't work as a "language". I tend not to throw away stuff as I can never tell if it might spark a new idea, a new direction, months or years later.

Nobody's ever going to use my constructed world. It will never make any money for me. I do it because the work gives me pleasure - and helps me stop conversations at social gatherings.

Starting to see where they are going with this. Quite ambitious. Perhaps overly so.

A searchable catalog of all say virtual machines across countries & providers would be pretty cool for starters.

Don't quite see how they're going to get around stuff being in different physical locations. That creates latency, cost and reliability headaches that AWS/GCP/Azure doesn't need to deal with since you normally put say DB and VM into the same data center
Having to build stuff from basic blocks with no hidden magic is the best part in Go.

It's SO boring, but also very efficient. Yes, you type more words, but that's why you got the fancy clicky keyboard.

You get stuff done and other people can actually understand your code, because there are no hidden gotchas, everything is just as you typed it out. Even the boring and repetitive if err != nil stuff just fades away, but you DO notice if it's missing somewhere.
If the data doesn't match what you want, make it fit. In the end of course it's hard to hide dead people.
Great work though :-)

If we are going to use SSR, why not use asp.net core mvc like frameworks. Its orders of magnitude easier to reason about and highly productive during development.

I used to be a fan for react, but a month ago I started a project in asp.net core mvc, and am hooked. Of course I have a lot of experience in c#, so that helps i guess.

Since I wrote the world’s first commercial Go playing program (Honnibo Warrior for the Apple II) I have taken a key interest in modern Go playing programs. I dropped everything I was doing to watch the Alpha Go vs. Lee Sedona match, and two years ago at the US Go Open I was slaughtered by Facebook’s Go program.

Fantastic to see another Go program.
He left a lot of inventions in the design phase, but the truth is da Vinci shipped more than most of us ever will.

Some of his inventions couldn't be built during his time either, so it wasn't simply that he always lost interest. Seems a bit unfair to mention design flaws but not point out that he was designing machines that required materials that didn't exist yet.

It's not quite the same. Hashicorp controls whether PRs get merged. Google does not control whether PRs get merged into kubernetes. There's a long list of companies that do, including IBM, redhat, Huawei, etc. Sure, you can fork it, but now you have a separate repo that requires people to know about it.

The problem with dividends is they force a taxable event onto shareholders. Many shareholders prefer buybacks because it lets the shareholder control when to get taxed by selling shares.

Either is a wash when it comes to caring about the long term health of the company. If all my gains are through buybacks I absolutely care about the health of the company at least until the point I sell.

I groan every time I read something along the lines of "before long, they began issuing additional receipts for gold even if they were not backed by a deposit. This came to be known as ‘fractional reserves banking’ – lending out far more money than one actually has on deposit – and the road to banking ruin was firmly in place."

That is not what "fractional reserves (sic) banking" is. What the author is describing is pure and simple fraud and nothing to do with the mechanics of fractional reserve banking. The goldsmiths were passing off paper certificates under false pretence that they correspond with real stored gold.

Fractional reserve banking is really simple: you gather up a pile of money by convincing others to deposit their money with you (although when the depositors are other banks and institutions such "deposits" are often structured as bonds); you RESERVE a fraction of gathered money (varies but usually between 6% and 15%) while lending out the rest. At no point does fractional reserve banking involve "lending out more than what you have on deposit".
I would say that more than having your own config be left alone, the complex case is when two different applications want to mess up a third party configuration.

Software repos as a whole in part exist to solve and harmonize these cases.
