Is there a solution presented? It seems the "Iran Proxy" designation is exacerbating this travesty.

I think it lacks empathy because groups have to try to find support from somewhere. If they lack consensus with the west then of course they are going to try to get support from the not-west. Looking at that desperate support and then labelling the recipient a proxy is such a low standard. That would be analogous to calling Jewish Zionists a "Nazi proxy" because one group sought Nazi support in their campaign against Britain in the mandate of Palestine. It would be a very inaccurate and comical way to frame it now, but that group of people did not have any support in any country back then, so maybe its just business as usual. huh, to take that observation further, imagine a future where Shia peoples have museums and monuments everywhere to make sure nobody ignores them again.
It's much more difficult than it used to be, but I think there is still some value to human guidance, more as a "referee" than anything else.

Right now we have essentially two top tier engines -- traditional brute force with alpha beta pruning (stockfish), and ML (leela). Both alone are incredibly strong, but they are strongest and weakest in different types of positions. A computer chess expert, who knows what kind of positions favor stockfish and what kind favor leela, could act as a "referee" between the two engines when they disagree, and when they are unanimous, simply accept the move.

Ten years ago, a grandmaster driving a single engine could typically beat an equal strength engine. I don't think that's the case anymore.

But I think if you have someone who is an expert at computer chess -- not so much a chess grandmaster, and you gave them Leela AND SF, and let them pick which one to use when in the case of conflicts -- they would score positive against either leela or stockfish in isolation.

Larry Kaufman designed his new opening repertoire book by doing exactly this -- running Leela on 2 cores + GPU, and stockfish on 6 cores, and doing the conflict resolution with his own judgement.

The human can certainly no longer pull his own moves out of thin air, though.

Relating back to technical systems, it reminds me of implementing a CRM (customer relationship management) or other collaborative data system. Higher difficulty of use translates to lower participation, which leads to lower value, which leads to lower use...and so on.
My comment wasn't really related to macs; imo if you ship binaries you should aim to provide builds for, say, the top 3 arches, and this is especially relevant for Docker images since the de facto standard for deploying them is just to pull them from dockerhub. Docker also fails in this regard since even though it knows the arch (it says it on dockerhub) docker client will still happily pull an amd64 image on ARM with no warning whatsoever

When you mix statutory copyright violation with digital technology, you get infinite fines. Any money you donate is going to the book publishers at the end of the day.
Copyright is a temporary monopoly granted to incentivize the creation of new works, for the benefit of the public.

As you suggest, a time-based copyright term (such as the original Copyright Act term of 14 years with a single renewal) would preserve this incentive even for authors who expect they might die before the end of the term.
Yeah, but GDP is one of the most important socio-economic factors there is. Which makes drawing analogies between the US and Brazil not very useful most of the time. And even race, where I think the comparison is most apt, there is an important difference, in that the US has more ethnic diversity among its elite class. I believe Brazil's elites are almost entirely descended from European Catholics, whereas the US elite class has been split between WASPs and Jews for at least 100 years and is now being cracked open quite rapidly by people of East Asian and South Asian descent.
I love a good history lesson. :)

In case it helps anyone: this is about a version 2 of the original LISP language.

Here's the thing: a common sense approach to this could have avoided 90% of the economic misery.

The key would have been to allow everyone 60 and under to continue normally unless they have other risk factors. The consequences of a case for most in that age group aren't too bad, less than flu for most. Older folk and those at risk could isolate and take other precautions.

No economic shutdown, no 40 million unemployed, no $6 trillion spent, far fewer bankrupt businesses, and vastly fewer long-term consequences. I hope we learn from this, it was an EXPENSIVE lesson. 20/20 hindsight is a wonderful thing.
> But they did release the incident report, presumably as a pretense of transparency and/or good will.

No argument here; either release useful information or don’t.

> Your argument here is basically, "Oh don't worry, that's just the report with the lies--the report with the truth exists somewhere, you'll get to see it eventually!"

Forced Entry doesn’t mean what people think it means and is probably correct on the report. As for selecting ‘None’ for injuries on the victim of a homicide, it sounds like the program that prints the report did that on its own (obviously needs to be fixed as computers shouldn’t be adding words to official reports). I don’t think it’s fair to call these things “lies” or use them as the basis for conspiracy theories as others here have.

> If you're arguing that not reporting the incident in the incident report, or not having transparency, are police norms, I won't disagree with you there, but that's a huge problem.

I would argue that restricting public access to complete police reports related to active investigations is both a norm and serves a legitimate state interest (protects the integrity of investigations). I would also argue that once the case is indicted/closed, it should be made available to the public for inspection.
Sounds like MIT needs a new statue right outside the main admin offices.
Others here are addressing technical solutions, but I don't see anyone here covering non-verbal communication. IMO, that's going to be just as important.

I am going to assume that your wife and you have a healthy relationship with strong communication, in part because you've developed an intuition for her body language and other non-verbal communication methods. In the scenario where she loses her ability to speak, even if she happily and completely takes to whatever technical solution(s) you offer to replace that, I think it's likely she will reflexively lean more heavily on those non-verbal channels, and you're going to need to get better at reading them than you are now.
I don't think that's true. There's e.g a recent study from the USS Roosevelt, and it showed to be the most effective measure. Followed by social distancing.

Critical Aspects to Creating a Great User Experience
I have a theory that distribution of power in democracies leads to "distribution of blame".

Living in a third world country means you probably are dealing with a (semi) dictatorship. That means there's only a few entities (eg regime, government, whatever) that you can assign the blame to.

Therefore, you can light yourself on fire in protest to them.

In the U.S. who would you light yourself to protest to? Elected congress? Elected government? Wall Street? Supreme Court?

Unfortunately when system gets rigged and gamed in a democracy it's really difficult to untangle the mess.

This also has a secondary effect: In these countries people are not so divided. They have a common enemy: The dictator [0].

Source: Anecdotal experience based in years of life in a third world country and the U.S.

[0] This is an oversimplification as even the dictators have support of a big chunk of the population to rely on.
I agree that not having the issues you mentioned is more important than the resumes format, assuming the format isn't unreadable. We are planning to add functionality to help with content quality.

We work with recruiters and hiring managers to review the designs. The primary things we review are readability/scanability and visual appeal.

We found that a lot of our customers were having more issues with getting offers than getting interviews, so we have chose to focus more on appealing to hiring managers.

It's less complex if you look at all these problems as symptoms. At the core is the racism. The gratuitous brutality, the lying, the planting of evidence, the us-versus-them attitude, the lawlessness, the replacement of the American flag with a Thin Blue Line flag, all of that could never have gotten so bad if racism wasn't at the core driving everything else.

The current losses in public education will be felt on the decades timescale. I think the perspective here on HN is probably shifted due to the tech demographic, where VC and ads have provided a buffer.

>They had a good, innovative product

They had a product that involved giving away other people's stuff. Yes, copyright terms are too long. But I'm pretty sure that a vanishingly small amount of that stuff they were giving away would be out of copyright even with a copyright term of 20 years.
The antitrust case against Google
This is just a smokescreen. If we assume, very conservatively, that Wikipedia content outright satisfies 1% of Google searches (through info boxes, Wikipedia widget etc), thats would be worth 1% of $100bn+ of revenue Google generates from search = $1bn. Even if a fair thing to do would be to split that revenue, Wikipedia should still get $500mn in that arrangement. So a $2mn donation is just a smokescreen. Google is extracting extraordinary value from Wikipedia, and just because it is 'free' doesn't mean it shouldn't fairly give back.
Modern web crawlers usually have mechanisms against rabbit holes, e.g. for Apache Nutch you can configure it should only follow to a certain depth of links from a root, it should only follow a redirect a few times and so on. It's always a trade-off though. If you cut off too aggressive you don't get everything, if you cut off too late you waste resources.
> in Japan's case masks appear to be 100% effective

I think important to note that no serious person could or would ever claim that masks are "100% effective". You're drawing this conclusion from the absence of outbreaks on a depleted Tokyo metro and (although you don't mention it) Paris too.

It isn't possible to legislate for manufacturing defects in masks, suboptimal storage conditions, wearing it incorrectly, etc. That's before you even get to the myriad confounding variables which stem from different cultures AND weigh the fact that you're drawing your conclusion -- which will result in preventable deaths, if it's wrong -- from an absence of evidence to the contrary (!).

The article you linked and many others on this topic highlight that Japan adopted a "three C's strategy" which has led to social distancing on the Metro in addition to masks (which were already a popular facet of commuting in Tokyo). So just like London, they're doing social distancing and wearing a mask.

Worth observing that New York's mask-wearing MTA employees have been disproportionately blighted by COVID-related mortality[1], and London's bus drivers aren't faring (ha) much better[2].

> Do you have a reason to believe greater prevalence of the virus is linked to lower mask effectiveness in this specific context?

I didn't suggest that the virus being more prevalent lowers the effectiveness of masks. I pointed out that prevalence is more than 600x higher in London than Japan. The Tokyo Metro transports around 7m passengers per day, which yields 35 infected passengers on the system each day (0.5 per capita). TFL moves 9 million passengers each day, with a 333 per capita instance of COVID-19 infection, which means nearly 30,000 infected individuals.

If masks are 100% effective when worn properly, but 10% of the time are either defective or worn improperly, a peak journey in Tokyo would expose 700,000 people to risk from 3.5 COVID carriers. You could express this as a ratio of 200,000 at risk of contracting for every 1 person at risk of spreading the disease. In London the same math sees 900,000 people exposed to risk from 3,000 people. The ratio becomes 300:1.

When you consider it in these terms it doesn't seem imprudent to reduce capacity AND insist on masks. At least until there are more meaningful data to support decision making.

Scanning and providing access to digital copies of books was the dumb move---without that, they would not have attracted the enmity of publishers. The fastest and most successful way to avoid the destruction of an organization is always to concede to the wishes of its enemies. Preemptively, if possible.

The transport API I was referring to was written in .NET Core. I think .NET core is great at what it does, but runs into the same kinds of problems that GraphQL tries to address from the start once your API becomes sufficiently featured, which is likely to happen if you're offering an API as a service.

I actually think that unless your company is massive or has a lot of expertise in GraphQL already, using it for private APIs may not be the best idea, as it could be a sign of certain internal dysfunctions or communication problems within or between engineering teams.

----

An example, however of the kind of filtering I was referring to, and why I still think it would be non trivial to do, even in something like ASP.NET, is the following: https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/graphql-reference/#filter. This of course isn't something you get out the box in GraphQL either, but the structure of the system made this (relatively) easy to do.

Of course you could add something like OData to your REST API which would definitely be a valid alternative, but that also would have its own warts, and is subject to similar criticisms as GQL.
True on the probability, but outdoors appears to be huge risk mitigator and is important enough to my own health and sanity that I will risk it regardless.
This is a common pattern in (blocking i/o versus non-blocking i/o) and (sync task versus async task).

The typical analogy I hear for DDoS attacks is if you own a business and a giant group of protesters drives traffic to your store, but no one is interested in buying. They create a backlog to enter the store, they crowd the isles, they pick up your inventory, and the lines and crowds scare off your legitimate visitors/customers.
I still think that when it is a sitting US Senator, and you are in a position to know that many people may only look to you as the paper of record, it can be of public service to let the baddies have their say, for perspective - perhaps with the strongest condemnations from the editorial board.
