> Honest question. If video from a reputable Australia News crew, hosted on YouTube is not adequate, what do you think would be?

The article in questions is titled:

U.S. police have attacked journalists more than 120 times since May 28

The person to which you replied was questioning the trustworthiness of the data upon which that claim is based. Do you consider footage of one event conclusive evidence for 120 events?

Would your thinking style change if we switched up some of the variables, say something like:

Young black males have attacked elderly women more than 120 times since May 28

Would one video be sufficient evidence to satisfy your mind in this scenario as well?
Would this work for you:

Also to be fair, this comparison isn't fair. The phone has post-processing of the images to improve quality and low-light. DSLR's give raw images so that the photo editor can make those optimizations as necessary. Also, auto-modes on DSLR's are abysmal, especially in low-light settings. A good photographer with the right settings could make the first picture look incredible.
What are some reliable open source alternatives for non-commercial use?
Watching Super Size Me 2 you realize that the same thing happened to the chicken industry. It’s frightening. It’s like we have a democracy (so far) and under that a lot of smaller authoritarian organizations that are hard to notice or dismantle. Some of the farmers were basically slaves, in huge debts to these companies way of running things. Unbelievable.
It is absolutely relevant to public policy discussion. Believe it or not public policy DOES put a price on life and for good reason: you cant mitigate away ALL risk of death. Think of speed limits or even the normal flu death rate. You can't have a functioning society if everyone lives in bubbles and drives 5mph because all life must be preserved. Even the CDC acknowledges this, and they themselves calculate on average the economic loss of a human life is 10 million USD over their lifetime. When the mitigation cost (including cascading effects) exceeds this, then its not considered reasonable at a public policy level. You absolutely have to acknowledge the economic impact of lock-down for a virus that has a 0.26% mortality rate overall.
Even then, you surely want the data you're reading to be correct, and not, say, from half an hour ago because Chrome was having a bad day.
Most European countries develop their contract tracing apps as open source software.

The fragmented landscape is unfortunate. It's not just the code being developed that could benefit from a cooperative approach, the ethical, legal, medical and governance issues around these apps could benefit a lot from a shared European approach.

We have done this with the GDPR, we should collaborate on this as well.
I fear social media IS the primary place that a lot of people get their news. That is a huge problem because of all the propaganda, fake news, knee jerk reactions and everything else that is spread there.
>in practice, a do-not-compete clause cannot be enforced in a court

Depends. I've known consulting companies that have absolutely enforced them--though the circumstances have usually been around someone setting up their own shop rather than going to a client.

The broader issue with non-competes is more chilling effect than than actual enforcement. When I was with a small consulting firm we wouldn't touch anyone who had an even vaguely related non-compete. Just wasn't worth the risk or even the effort/cost of getting a lawyer involved.
I meant public officials. As there is at least some public interest in giving them platform, and there is at least some minimal check/scrutiny for them - their voters.
I'm quite sure SpaceX can afford the commercial license of Qt.

It's simply that right now, web is the best. Far from perfect, but the best.
I agree with you, but I think the problem is a disconnect between what incognito actually does and what people think it does. That distinction is pretty obvious to people who have done any sort of web development, but it's hard to explain to the average user.
Pure nitrogen forms a dimer and is inert. The nitrogen that goes boom involves hydrogen and oxygen molecules.
I came across this very relevant article earlier today: "Computers Don't Kill Jobs, People Do: Technology and Power in the Workplace"[0]
It was written in 1996 but many of the observations affirm these trend:

> Technology undoubtedly contributes to productivity, which should, of course, make more available to all. But buried (not too deeply) in the very innovations that increase productive capacity of the workforce are factors that serve to deny the workforce the bargaining power to gain their share of the output.

It argues that the people who drive innovation and technological advancement in the workplace tend to do so for the benefit of a small minority (i.e. the owners/buyers rather than the worker/users) which itself contributes to an increasing inequality of power.

it's also not necessarily low salaries, but also possibly performance density. You can get a team of developers that have had the chaff whittled out under more of a boilerroom condition that the administrative structure of a larger company can't do (harder to get rid of unproductive programmers, e.g.)
I'm not sure how any of those are in any way comparable to calling an innocent man a pedo in front of thousands of followers.
I personally wouldn’t have put a lot of faith in android’s safe mode anyway. Nothing in that OS seems thought out carefully.
Declassified transcripts: CrowdStrike couldn't say Russians stole DNC emails
You think it's just cover for it being a hard technical problem for zoom?

But... what the fuck?

Also... I have a paid account. How can I tell if my connection is encrypted or not? Is it only if all other parties have paid accounts? Is there an indicator?

Under an "encrypt some calls" approach, if even paid users can't tell easily and reliably if they have an encrypted connection... basically nobody can count on it.
No, that is ongoing. Here are a collection of studies. (Not complete). The comprehensive studies that will satisfy your criteria are being carried out by several national and international bodies (including WHO). One will need to wait till September end. Contrary to all US media propaganda, WHO did NOT cancel all HCQ studies - only the solidarity trial in specific was cancelled.

> The fact that the user uses a private window or other means to indicates they don't want to be tracked probably makes this a more clear case.

What about the fact that Incognito is so that "other people who use this device won't see your activity" and it doesn't do anything about tracking?
I like uberspace. First month is free and you can chose yourself how much you want to pay per month. 5€ per month is the suggested fee but you can pay as little as 1€.

you get full ssh access and can do almost whatever you like.
Crashing, not bricking. Can we update the title to remove the editorialization?
Where does the proliferation of features end and concern for public safety begin?
Yes, but I also think there's a lot of social pressure being put on these groups to get with the program. Reddit does eventually kick out extremists. Twitter spends a lot of time pointing them out, etc.

I've seen people advocating for banning "hate speech", but I think that's a slippery slope (who defines hate speech? would anything broadly defined as anti-feminist be banned?). Such laws are bound to be abused to silence people some groups politically disagree with. Personally, I think it's better that hateful ideologies are somewhere on the clearnet where we can see them, and sometimes talk some sense into them, rather than hidden in the dark web. Some of these people will grow out of it and come around.
I have a personal gmail and a work gmail (G Suite), each using my full name, but both run in separate browsers using the same IP address. I always wonder if Google keeps a "master record" of people and all their associations, if not for security or to work with law enforcement.
You might take a look at how Java got its JIT.

I was under the impression that it wasn't supposed to be possible for a website to tell that the page was loaded in incognito mode; in fact, I thought it was important that they not be able to. As such, how would the page with good analytics even know the user was incognito.
> Noticed some companies won't even hire out of state.

Hiring out of state (but still in the US) means dealing with taxes for the other state, plus probably adds complexity and maybe cost to providing health insurance. The best quality per dollar spent on health insurance in the US is often for plans that have little or very poor coverage (that is, pays few or no providers, especially for non-emergency care) outside a given state or geographic area.

Yes, that's right, lots of people (and companies) in the US pay outrageous-by-OECD-standards rates for health insurance that barely even applies in most of the country.
In a bubble, yes. But if you compare them to the top paying jobs of prior generations (say finance jobs of 20 years ago) they are actually pretty paltry wages in comparison. Plus, 250K in San Francisco where the average home is over a million dollars is not really that great.
So SpaceX is worried that their customers they sell spaceships to need to be able to get the source code of the Qt they use if they use it under LGPL?
Is there any literature about rage-bait concept? It sounds a very objective term.
I wish we could all agree also.

100% of Twitter’s value is network effects. People are there because other people are there.
> And that list you linked is long, but it's not a list of prominent Southern Democrat

There are more than the three “prominent Southern Democrats” you claimed on the list. Heck, there's more than that in each the early 1964-1970 phase of the Civil Rights driven realignment, and the final 1994-1995 wave, which was product of the culturally regressive wing of the party losing influence after the emerging center-right wing rose to dominance by supporting basically conservative economics while abandoning regressive culture war positions, especially on race, marginalizing both the left (who has no other major party to run to) and the solid right (whom the Republicans courted actively and welcomed with open arms).
We have not been a democracy or a representative republic for a long time, at a bare minimum we would need a new amendment to overturn citizens united and move to publicly financed elections to get back to that. You can claim you're represented in this current system, I understand that need, but it's not really accurate.
Can confirm this is a problematic aspect of our culture. I'm one of the people who's entire professional niche is being the counterweight to this positivism. Endemic to the way things are done is the understanding that forgiveness is often easier to attain than permission, and unfortunately putting your foot down and holding otherwise is rather frowned upon, or at least gets you marked as needing to be handled delicately. This leads to, if left unchecked, potential efforts to perception manage away obstacles to keep awareness of the problem suppressed such that it never gets dealt with until the inevitable blowing up down the road with the hope things have progressed far enough, sunk cost will keep you going forward.

It is an infuriating challenge to deal with, especially when you're faced withacompletely passivebusiness interface only committed to answering exactly the question you ask, not taking the question and doing the bit of contextual fill-in and translation one would expect. As a result, to cope with that, you have to ask heavily qualified, context bearing questions to Get to the bottom of anything; which after a certain point becomes unintelligible if you don't have someone actively willing to follow along, which manydon'tsee the value of, because they don't see it as doing anything of value.

It's a vicious cycle really.
Yeah, it was a word-of-mouth thing which I didn't care to follow up on. Given that beer has electrolytes and too much water kills by displacing electrolytes, it does seem reasonable to expect you could drink more alcohol-free beer than water though.
The Navy went big in touch screens and is rolling that back. Mazda, by no means a luxury brand, is abandoning touch screens. I think touch screens will stick around for tasks that aren’t routinely done while driving, but there will be a massive correction away from touchscreen as the only interface to the car.
The "both sides are the same" argument is a complete nonsensical distraction and wears really thin when faced with reality.
Higher-end units are using a "control knob" to navigate on the screen. "Touching" is for "lower-end" vehicles.

So, as a matter of fact, yes, you can have _one_ button for every car feature.
Which there is a warning of every time you open an incognito window. It's not fine print either, it's one of about six bullet points. "Your activity might still be visible to ... Websites you visit." This one is going nowhere I suspect. Just because a lawsuit asks for big damages does not mean the plaintiffs are likely to prevail on their claims.
The sad thing is it’s become a popularity contest. It’s mostly insincere and lip service. And my guess is the target audience aren’t actually the people affected the most, but others participating in this concept.

Now, I don’t agree with all the demands people have but I do agree with reform, oversight, (deescalation) training, demilitarization, recruiting more people local to where they serve, etc.

But these companies ... all they have to do to be “woke” is tweet out some empty words they don’t believe in. I mean, what business owner thinks “yeah, I don’t mind the looting”.

It’s vastly thin PR.
That, and most zoom users don't care. We use zoom at work, in spite of my repeated warnings to the contrary and my efforts (and demonstrations) of Jitsi. But they like zoom. It's convenient. It's sort of cross platform, and when it isn't, you can just dial in using a phone.

Plot twist? The company I work for is a software company. We're all software engineers. And yet I'm unable to make them have a negative response to zoom. I can't imagine the greater public giving an iota.

Actually I think of it in terms of the product - I want to build something that helps people and a problem that has a lot of potential to where I can keep developing and add new features. So I dont really mind if its a small business which lets me go on vacation in the Bahamas :-)
And I dont mind if it becomes huge.
The advice that I get and from what I see online is to focus on big problems with big markets...
What could go wrong!
Alternatively, this is working as intended since Google isn't acting as a monopoly by tying disparate products together. You get the same experience in chrome incognito as Firefox incognito.
If we're going to use SpaceX to validate our language choices, then we should be moving back to C for the "mission critical" code.

> The certification and correctness part is made easier by using software verification tools. One such tool is Astrée. It is a static code analyzer that checks for runtime errors and concurrency related bugs in C projects. This also leads us to the answer for why a lot of mission-critical code is written in C. Its because there are a lot of static analyzers and software verification tools for C.
I think it's amazing that out of all the things Huawei has been accused of doing the thing that got them officially in trouble is reselling American servers.
If I know google I’d bet it’s a lot closer to 2 cents than 2 dollars.

When I use HN I don't wonder if the person that added the "reply" button is black or not... I don't really understand this. (I am black)
You are asking that browsers announce to websites that the user has incognito mode enabled, which immediately opens the door to websites refusing to serve users running incognito mode at all.
I feel like I need to respond to this and say the Internet isn’t enough for all children. It wasn’t for me.

I grew up having the Internet since I was around 8-9. (I was born in 1990) I was able to find communities online for things I was interested in. But it didn’t make me any less “weird” in person. While it’s nice to find people online, it’s really not enough. Especially as a kid since you can’t really interact with everyone since many times they’re much older than you.

If you’re still going to school and get bullied for being weird, have no friends because weird, and so forth... then the Internet is nice but it’s not really a replacement for real life acceptance. Most kids need friends and acceptance in real life. You can’t get by on the Internet alone.
I got a more conservative haircut once and the CEO asked if I was job hunting.
Probably. I recall Project Veritas showing hidden video of a Twitter dev speaking about databases that link all profiles of someone (using things like IPs, fingerprints, etc. to stitch the relationships together).
Right, it says so in no uncertain terms, right on the page when you open Chrome's Incognito window:

>Your activity might still be visible to:

> - Websites you visit

> - Your employer or school

> - Your internet service provider

A couple months ago I wanted to get Rust/WebAssembly running in a web worker inside a `create-react-app` project. It took some doing.

Net result: the repo has a package.json and a src/index.js like a JS project, plus a Cargo.toml and a src/lib.rs like a Rust project. This feels appropriate since the Rust files in this project are really application code calling out to a #[no_std] Rust library, just like the JS files are application code calling out to JS libraries. WebStorm provides full IDE features in both languages: JavaScript is obviously native, and https://intellij-rust.github.io works in WebStorm. Saving either kind of source file triggers a recompile and a browser refresh. It's magical.

I ended up using @wasm-tool/wasm-pack-plugin, worker-plugin, and @craco/craco.

* wasm-pack-plugin handles most of the Rust integration, invoking `cargo` from Webpack, and spitting out a .wasm+.js bundle which src/ can `import()`.

* worker-plugin lets me write frontend code which says `new Worker('my.worker.js')`, creating a separate Webpack build target and rewriting the path appropriately.

* craco provides a means to modify `create-react-app`'s Webpack configuration without ejecting. I had to prevent file-loader from serving .wasm files, add WasmPackPlugin and WorkerPlugin to Webpack's plugin list, and disable ModuleScopePlugin to allow importing wasm-pack-plugin's output from outside ./src.

This is all less mature and more brittle than I would prefer, but it absolutely works. I'm excited for this space to improve.

How well do you find jitsi works? For multi-party video? Large number of parties like zoom?
It is an abdication of responsibility from Lancet / NEJM editors. Everyone not living under a rock is well aware hydroxychloroquine has, unfortunately, become a political hot potato. In this context, a paper purporting results counter to decades of clinical practice should warrant a modicum of additional scrutiny.

This incident comes in the middle of the replication crisis, with 50%-70% of studies failing replication, including in the medical sciences field. Furthermore, many suspect that BigPharma pushes inconclusive garbage as peer reviewed science to promote commercial interests. Then there is the response to covid19, which, justified or not, some regard as catastrophic overreaction. The BigScience enterprise is in peril of losing public trust. Which is a terrible loss.

Lancet / NEJM editors failed. There are no excuses. The right course of action is to apologize, not to further antagonize the public. Try humility for a while.
It is not like they walked out into the path of an on-coming car. The car was on the other side of the street behind another car. The car deliberately veered and accelerated into them.

They did end up with a great job elsewhere, but still sad to hear this all went down.

To HelixEndevour (I've tried to vouch/reply to your post, but unable)

I agree with the first part of statement: Violent rioters should not endanger the life of the President. Which is why, even if I don't like the current president or his methods (or anything, really), I understand the need to support security of white house.

But "Violent Rioters endangering president's life" should not be mixed up with "Capricious president endangers peaceful protesters' life". They are morally and tactically different scenarios.

By all accounts:

- Protesters were peaceful

- They were not approaching or endangering White House

- President decided to have an unannounced photo-op

- Without warning, trips used force to disperse crowds so the president can have his photo op

If you believe this is not a correct framework, I'd be curious to hear your perspective.

Cheers!
