> Surgeon General's tweet from Feb 29 on the uselessness and social immorality of mask use -- hasn't aged well

The irony is the Surgeon General's tweet quoted the CDC who had a much more muted message, "CDC does not currently recommend the use of facemasks to help prevent novel #coronavirus. Take everyday preventive actions, like staying home when you are sick and washing hands with soap and water, to help slow the spread of respiratory illness."

How on earth was he not barred from the investment industry?
And a full-time staff that specializes in this sort of thing.
We met through our pre-seed investor--our first check. It was a combination of track record of founders and tech that seemed too good to be true, but he could see it working.

Same reason a later seed investor put money in. "If it works, why wouldn't any company buy it?" As we learned (and are still learning) great tech and an obvious market need are only tiny pieces of the puzzle to figure out.

None of us had any experience in the industry, and the company was 3 people at the time our head of sales came on board--not much of a culture to speak of.
The Canadian court ruled she has broken Canadian law and hence extradition is on. Not seems to mention in the discussion so far.
Thoughts, in order:

1) Good, I guess I'll be using and promoting Zoom as much as I can

2) Well, I guess it doesn't really matter, since bad actors will have other encrypted software they can use

3) Well, I guess I'll still use and recommmend my friends use it just to avoid false-positive risks of flags from law enforcement

Yes, I know this is effectively an "if you have nothing to hide" mindset. I'm okay with that.
Great! Then you're the ideal person to ask something I've been wondering: We see the occasional headline about machine learning algorithms outperforming human radiologists. What's the catch? I'm prepared to believe they aren't really outperforming humans once you take all the unstated factors into account, just wondering what the unstated factors are.

To a baby, baby formula is a life saving drug. Many women can't produce enough breast milk for their child, or have to work, or can't breast feed at all, or myriad other reasons that they need to supplement or completely replace their supply with formula.

Yeah, at best it's an outdated law. At worst it's an excuse for companies with immense wealth and power to enforce their political will on millions if not billions of people. I would be fine if there was some remote form of competition at scale with these platforms, but no one can make an honest argument that these are not dominant players who are quickly pulling up the ladder behind them.

Sorry to be a little pedantic, but libraries do not treat all information as equal. There are far, far fewer books written by nazis in the library and most of them are by former high ranking members of the 3rd Reich so students and historians can research the Second World War and The Holocaust.

Even access is limited in some libraries for some information like technical libraries and books describing the manufacturing or design of dangerous materials.
It's shameful that you think that these protests aren't acceptable outcomes of police brutality. The protests are a direct result of the public not accepting the status quo anymore. The death of a person at the hands of the police started this fire. The police keep it going by aggressive unconstitutional protest containment actions. I don't agree with you at all, and I have laid out the legal and social basis why you are wrong to believe what you do. If I have failed to convince you, I'm sorry. I tried and will keep trying. If you choose not to agree with my interpretation, that's fine too.

Protest and looting are shades of the same idea. If you don't care about us taking up space in your streets, maybe you may care about being deprived of your corporate assets. Corporations aren't people. People are people. If harming corporations leads to an increase in human rights, that is a net gain for society. To question whether the cost is too high like you do shows you care more for property, capital, and the people who wield these asset classes, than you do for those who have cause to protest. Just because you don't share their cause célèbre does not invalidate it.

Reasonable people can disagree. It's impossible to be reasonable or disagree if you're killing someone or being killed. The police actions up to this point have been unreasonable, and so the response of the public is currently outside the scope of actions that can have a reasonableness standard applied to them. Protest is inherently justified by the Constitution. The response to police brutality and lack of internal reform proves the police think they are right to kill people and don't need to change. That's why the protests continue. To stop protesting now would be to negotiate with terrorists. The protests must continue as long and until the police come to the table with protesters and stakeholders, and they all negotiate a solution.
It depends. On later computers--around the time frame we're talking about where the Turbo Pascal CRT bug was showing up--the turbo button, where it still existed on computers of the day, often just enabled/disabled the L2 cache near the processor.
Geoengineering cooling concepts to counter heating due to emissions is one thing, but even when we commercialize fusion and it becomes extremely cheap to purchase huge amounts of emission-less electricity for high heat and pressure of industrial activity (exponential ramping up of metal&mineral smelting/welding/stamping/cutting/shipping) - all of this activity will be a significant source of heat.

The less toxic atmosphere of a terrestrial-based Type 1 civilization would still require planetary cooling mechanisms.

Companies closing their doors doesn't necessarily mean ceasing to exist. Sometimes it ends up in a holding company with one person (a lawyer) to close up any loose ends and liquidate assets.

Although in Star Theory's case, their development contract was coming to an end, so it's possible it had already expired at that point. And the contract may have also had certain required metrics like development progress and financial health that would lead to it being terminated in cases where the company was effectively defunct.

Handling of connections in either direction.

Our company built a service that is able to receive WebSocket connections and send the activity to a HTTP backend. So this use case I'm familiar with and it sounds like you're doing something similar.

A service that could make outbound WebSocket connections on behalf of a FaaS app is something I think about too. I'm not sure if that exists yet.

clear how much proofs depend on the audience. We prove things in a social context
and address them to a certain audience. Parts of this proof I could communicate in
two minutes to the topologists, but the analysts would need an hour lecture before
they would begin to understand it. Similarly, there were some things that could be
said in two minutes to the analysts that would take an hour before the topologists
would begin to get it. And there were many other parts of the proof which should
take two minutes in the abstract, but that none of the audience at the time had
the mental infrastructure to get in less than an hour"

I wonder if we would ever get to a point where we would find an effective and desirable mental infrastructure such that this wouldn't happen.

I borrowed a friends 80-400 for a day, and it was big and heavy, but I loved the shots I was able to get from it. I purchased the 200-500 when it came out, and some of my favorite photos I've ever taken came out of it. I havent compared them directly, but from memory the 200-500 feels lighter. The 200-500 is great for the money I think.

Ask HN: Is the omission of politics a political stance?
When posting to HN it states posts must be on-topic and exclude things such as

"Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon"

I truly do enjoy the content and community here on HN, but my question is that given the current political climate isn't the decision to omit political content a political stance rather than an apolitical one?
I'm not sure how this is a response to the book. The main take away as it pertian to police-suspect interaction, is suspects are to be treated fairly and with respect.
Yes, exactly. Sun is the best disinfectant. We should not allow speech to be banned, because then we do not know what people think anymore. If we suppress the free expression we may find that really bad ideas are silently spreading without being challenged. And it may end up really badly for all of us when people holding these ideas suddenly surface. You do not need majority to make quick and radical changes.
I think this misses a possibly very important effect: agglomeration. Programmers in the Bay Area were not all born there, many (most?) chose to move there, some from elsewhere in the US, some from abroad. If those programmers who are more skilled tend to move to this area then the resulting greater productivity could explain higher pay. So why might more skilled programmers move to the Bay Area? Perhaps because other skilled programmers live there, and programming skills are complementary. A highly skilled developer may be worth more to a company with other skilled developers who can work together to create advanced products. Note that local PISA scores are irrelevant if people were not educated in the place that they work.
If "good" police are standing by and allowing "bad" police to get away with these things, I'd argue that they are complicit in the bad behavior and not so "good" after all.

and many others.

is it so different?

I agreed with some of the interventions (Bosnian war 1992), I didn't with many others, as an Italian seeing the bombing in 1999 in Kosovo from the other side of the Adriatic sea was heartbreaking (you could actually see them at night, the sky became as bright as the day!).

Many of my friends at the time were balkans running away from the previous wars and coming to Italy.

I actively protested against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, against the bombing in Libya, against Guantanamo, against Abu Ghraib tortures, against their policy of using drones that killed a lot of civilians in middle east, testified by wikileaks documents.

You have to remember that they moved the war to our doors in Europe, we lived them, we still suffer the consequences and, more than us, many of our human brothers are still running from them.

Please, try to understand US imperialism is no better than anybody else's.

Also, my entire family was communist in Italy, they fought against the fascist regime in Italy, they went to jail for it, fortunately many of them survived, by sheer luck.

Please, before lecturing us about communism, at least try to learn the many faces of it in history.

Stalin is just the easy winning argument (he died in f*ing 1953, USSR lived almost 40 years after his death!) like pretending US is McCharty, Trump, the KKK and the institutional racism.

Also: US recruited many nazi generals after the war that gave away secrets in exchange for new identities, money and immunity, so, not really a surprise that there are nazis running the US right now

I think it is easy to misread the implied context of your statement as

protestors = looters = antifa.

Which is of course not true.

These are three seperate groups of people and the only subset relation that holds true (using a definition of `protestors` as simply participants) is

protestors > looters.

And I guess they constitute only a small percentage.

Additionally: Not everyone who would signify themselves as part of the antifa is a looter and not every looter is part of the antifa.

I would not jump to any conlusion about the ratios `looters/(antifa looters)` and `antifa/(antifa looters)`. (Note: They are not inverse).

Overall, my impression is that the antifa plays only a minor role and was mostly brought up by T. to derail the public discussion.

I feel like that's pretty likely a bigger element of it when I was younger, though I'm sure it always figures in to some degree. Although part of it is circular: when people all treat you like you're nicer/smarter/etc. you feel more confident, too.

But some of it was just a bit too much of a stretch to just be confidence. I'm /generally/ a pretty confident person, and comfortable with people, and the difference in how many people suddenly can vs. can't find the time of day for you is pretty dramatic.

And, of course, some of it was just not subtle at all. I'd been told pretty frankly I was too fat to be a doctor. Because, you know, clearly my personal struggles with my weight have a direct correlation to my ability to diagnose your ailment. (Okay, I'm still salty about that one.)
incidentally i think that all OSes get the defaults wrong. People don't organize split their lives by videos or pdfs, but by Project. Ideally $HOME should contain a directory for each project and nothing else. Our memory works well with a timeline, it sucks at remembering things in arbitrary tree structures.

The EU sanctions listed in the wikipedia article are quite old, as the JCPOA came in force in 2016. As for the UN resolution, it's strange that you quote UN resolution 1929 from 2010, when resolution 2231 from 2015 is summarised as "lifted all previous sanctions on Iran provided that Iran remains in compliance with its responsibilities in the nuclear deal". Which Iran has (at least until very recently and anyway well after the US had reneged on the agreement and the EU had shown to be unwilling or unable to stick to it- because of US sanctions on EU companies).
Markets are winner takes all. No matter the size, there will be power law distribution. First place, runner up, distant third, everyone else.

Market consolidation (regional, national, global) reduced the number of markets, reducing the number of players.

One very illiberal idea is that we also need to break up markets, erect some barriers. Prevent winners in one market from usurping other markets.

Being armed does not matter, unchecked power matters. I could care less if they carried ak47s as long as they used them more sparingly. Disarming the police might have more effect on how interactions happen, but is not the problem, nor a very workable solution where citizens have the right to be armed.

The police are bound by laws. Attacking them is not helpful. If the police are bad, the laws are bad, and/or not being enforced. The history of mandatory sentancing laws (funny enough brought forward by none other than Joe Biden) might as well be the soundtrack for police racism over the last 20 years.

I don't know what MAU means but I do know that humans are terrible at predicting things, common sense has little to do with metrics and, yes, of course Facebook's job is to make money.

The assumption that people leave assumes that there is a different place to go to, which for most people, there isn't because social networks are exactly that: networks. Unless you have a small isolated network that can move all at the same time, it is not likely that people will single themselves out.
