Well, I suspect they build the thing to the degree they need the thing. I use GIMP for some stuff but I can't draw on it like I can draw on Krita, for instance. Pity it didn't work for you.
I’m not sure I understand what point you’re trying to make with the graphic and terse question. Could you please expand on that?
It's "up to 20M or up to 4%, whichever is greater"

From a quick google search VSBLTY's market cap seems to be under 20M, revenues under 1M. So 20M is much more than "cost of doing business".

The network address range falls under Facebook's ownership, so I don't think it's someone spoofing. I do think it's very possible someone found a way to trigger crawl requests in large quantity. Alternatively, I would not be surprised it's just a bug on facebook's end.

This reminds me of a case years ago when I had a small-ish video file on my server that would cause Google Bot to just keep fetching it in a loop. It wasted a huge amount of bandwidth for me since I only noticed it in a report at the end of the month. I had no way of figuring out what was wrong with it, so I just deleted the file and the bot went away.
Humanities programs issue a license for unlimited and liberal use of the term when you're admitted. Along with some others like "hegemon". Sprinkling those sorts of words in sentences when appropriate (and, if inept, when not) is part of code-switching to "humanitese".

Key points:

* "The study asked for 1,000 volunteers to provide blood and swab samples and answer a survey, however only 382 Roosevelt sailors participated. The volunteers were not a representative sample of the crew population..."

* "The study found 60% of the volunteers had antibodies for the coronavirus, and of those, 59% also had neutralizing antibodies at the time their blood was drawn."

* "The tests also indicated among the sailors who had been exposed, almost 1 in 5 were asymptomatic or about 18.5%."
Yes Android in general has improved a lot in the last 3 years (imo). What drove me to Flutter was not having enough time to do both Android and iOS.

I've also found doing animations and prototyping with UI ideas to be much much easier and faster in flutter than in Android.
The point is, in Japan's case masks appear to be 100% effective, or very close to it, in eliminating transmission on public transport.

Do you have a reason to believe greater prevalence of the virus is linked to lower mask effectiveness in this specific context?
Yeah, but having to use Redis is a must for any web app/API that grows. So all PHP is doing here is forcing you to adhere to best practices of shared-nothing architectures early on.

I've always looked at it this way "things must be pretty bad if lighting yourself on fire sounds like a better alternative then living" I dont need to understand the particulars beyond that.
I love the "feedback bucket" method for dealing with this.

Feedback/criticism is basically shit. 99% of it is utterly worthless and useless. So I mentally put it into the "feedback bucket" together with all the other crap (my inner critic is a plentiful source of vicious, spiteful, targetted feedback).

Eventually, from the bucket, the Flowers of Insight will grow. My mind's background processing will distill all that crap into some genuinely useful insight that I can use to improve the thing.

So I listen to feedback, nod and smile, thank them for their contribution, and move on, waiting for the flowers to grow.
They also have an extremely pro-mask and personal responsibility culture. I find it very likely that someone asymptomatic would be wearing a mask properly (covering the nose and mouth fully) and that someone with symptoms would stay home or in another semi/full quarantine location as much as possible.
While the content itself is just another round of "I deleted X for reasons I, J, K," I certainly resonate with you mentioning commenting less.

As with the barrier to entry to any tech-oriented platform (any dev remember their first time posting on StackOverflow?), there is an underlying fear of rejection, or even worse, providing no value whatsoever. I've lurked on HN for years, but only recently have actually started engaging.

Not sure if anyone else feels those kind of emotions, but the article did mention that many people are living in fear -- regardless of the external stimuli is that causes that fear. It's not any different than engaging with communities like SO, HN, forums, etc.

Also like you, I doubt this adds any value beyond giving a couple minutes to type this response to a comment buried halfway down the discussion page on the post. It definitely entertained, and more so distracted me, for the duration of this experience.

For that, I thank you.

What happens if that link performs an action upon a GET request?

Edit: Folks, I agree with you all, but I've seen a lot of garbage out there. Just asking the question for the discussion.
I believe your third answer is indeed the reason that despite so many things being automated, we're not seeing benefits of that in terms of reduced workloads on people. The way I see it, as long as creating bullshit jobs is easy, the market will force everyone to work 40+ hour a week to survive. And as long as creating bullshit jobs that just shuffle money around is easier than creating socially valuable jobs, we won't see any Moon bases either.
Do top engineers work for Tesla? I see them having great recruiting from the university pipeline, but fresh-faced Eng School graduates are a very different population than the best engineers.

Do you think these rights come from god or something ? There are no rights that are independent to time, law, culture or government.
Ask HN: What are you guys using for background workers nowadays?
Back when I was working with Rails about 4-10 years ago, I used background workers (sidekiq, faktory, delayed job, resque) to offload processing that can happen outside of the request/response cycle, to keep response times down. Examples might be sending email or making different sizes of uploaded images.

What do people of all stacks use nowadays? Do JAM stack devs use web workers and service workers? Or are people using AWS lambda for this stuff (or beanstalk? blah)? Or are you using Kubernete's job runners? Or do you offload it to Zapier? Or do you use big data tools like Apache Spark, because it's specific to the job, and a generic runner won't do? Or are there mature services for the specific offline processing that you need that you can just punt it to a 3rd party?

For me, we've co-opted event handlers in Hasura as a poor man's background job runner, and I wish there was something that gave me more visibility into job throughput and performance, easier debugging, chainability between jobs, and integration with 3rd party services. Anyone have a job running framework/platform that they love?
Seriously. It runs contrary to people's intuition, but things we think of as boring now are what historians will care about more than famous, well-preserved, and widely-replicated materials.

The Stoics were always going to survive into the 21st century, but the graffiti on walls would tell you a lot more about the politics and culture of the time than one well-off scholar's view. All those long-gone personal sites are the graffiti on the wall, and we have a copy of a lot of it.

So much of this is in the Internet Archive. Think of what it means to someone 100 years from now trying to piece together an understanding of this era. How much could you find from just 5-10 years ago without it? Most of those websites are offline, the magazines long gone, the companies absorbed into another with no interest in history.

I don't know when you last checked, but Santa Clara, Alameda, Contra Costa, Napa, and Sonoma counties all let you get a "virtual" card to check out ebooks and you can do it online. (I'm not 100% sure about Napa's ebook status, though; I have a Santa Clara county virtual card but am just checking the web sites for other counties!) San Mateo County will mail you a library card. San Francisco County is the only one in the Bay Area that seems to require in-person visits, although they've waived that through July. Sonoma County also seems to coordinate with Mendocino and Lake counties on their online card systems. I won't check the rest of California, but it seems like it's definitely more than three libraries now. :)
No matter what issue you examine, you can doubtlessly find that somebody somewhere at sometime had it even worse. I think these kind of observations are usually unproductive though; taking this attitude to it's logical absurd conclusion would have you telling people to stop complaining because at least they're not in death camps.

Isn't there also an additional misalignment caused by shareholders who hold shares only to speculate on the stock market? Those shareholders don't care about long-term goals of the company, but only about short-term stock performance they can use to jump sell their shares high, and then buy some other shares low.
That "link" doesn't respect the GET semantics then.
that's your own problem because you are going against the HTTP protocol standard. GET should be idempotent.
He says people switch jobs around the 2 years time frame, which is surprising and short. Is that true, an avg say in tech? I have been doing that but I didn't realize it was that common. In SF I've heard staying a year is the goal to get stock, then after that look for the next thing.
Was about to comment with the same, the military creates all sorts of plans for all sorts of scenarios, even completely implausible ones. In the 1930s for instance, the US had an actual war plan for an invasion of Canada (War Plan Crimson, as a part of War Plan Red which was a general war with the UK) and Mexico (War Plan Green)! These plans were made not because we really had any intention of invading Canada or Mexico, but because it gave our military planners something new to work on. And as a part of this they could come up with new ideas or theories that could be applied to more likely threats, and this planning is a good way to help train officers and sharpen minds for strategic thought
The post I was replying to was saying that masks are not 100% effective when worn properly. Now you're talking about people not wearing masks properly. What's your point?
"Rockstar reviewers" seem like a cure that's almost as bad as the disease. Some scientific fields already have a problem with groupthink, with a few well-defined and vigorously-opposed schools of thought. I would vastly prefer a broader reviewer pool to the usual suspects from the same few labs.

Everybody likes money, but I'm also not sure that's the way to go either. It would be great if reviewing directly impacted people's academic/research careers; I suspect the ability to review well is highly correlated with the ability to successfully run a research group. However, there are lots of thorny issues involving power and interpersonal relationships.
Then like literally every search engine and website crawler ever does, the action will be performed.

Which is why it's bad practice to design your website using GET for actions. That's what POST is for.

I mean, using GET for actions will break so many things -- browser prefetching, link previews, the list is endless. If you use GET for actions, just... yikes.

The database you described has existed for a while. It's called social media.

People voluntarily post their minute-frequency gps location, workplace, political and religious leanings, sexual preferences, views on current events, and an exhaustive list of friends, family, coworkers, and other associates. Not to mention hundreds, if not thousands, of geo-tagged pictures of themselves over the years, along with a list of the other people in the frame, as well as a written discussion of the events photographed.
I agree. As colleagues/collaborators it is almost a responsibility to keep each other in check like this. As long as it is skillfully applied and empathic. Sprinkling a bit of humor on top can help too (for both sides).
I like link previews. I don't like when they are managed server-side instead of client-side.
I have a raspberry pi running on my desk that has been running for 60 days sitting on my desk with no outages. I don't even have a battery backup!
Then the action needs to be harmless, because GET is defined as not merely idempotent but also safe.

Didn't we already learn this lesson after all the unsafe-GET problems unveiled when prefetching browser accelerators came on the scene in, IIRC, the late 1990s?
Ask HN: How can we make the web more accessible for people with disabilities?
I came across a thread on twitter[0] that was eye-watering and eye-opening at the same time.

Here's an excerpt:

Today, my dad cried over the phone, he wanted one week where he could use his computer without my help.

He's blind.
Each inaccessible webpage tells him, "you aren't welcome in this world."

I'm guilty and i feel ashamed. I'm not a frontend person but I don't recall any of my teams ever receiving a request from a client to check accessibility on an application before, and it's quite easy to take these things for granted.

What are some of the best practices to cover in order to build a more inclusive web and a better user experience, especially for people living with disabilities?

MIT-Born Quaise Raises $6M in Round to Access Geothermal Energy
Congrats on the launch. Having worked at a startup in the AIOps space, I can can offer a few suggestions.

1. No matter how good your AI, it will make mistakes. Users need ways to provide feedback or filtering to avoid bad alert fatigue. Giving users a sense of control is critical.

2. Most larger shops will have dozens of monitoring tools already generating alerts. Consider ingesting existing alerts as another algorithmic signal.

3. The real root cause of an incident often won't show up in logs. Don't assume that the earliest event in a cluster is causal.

4. The more context you can provide an operator looking at a potential incident, the better. Modern SEIM tools do an ok job here. Consider pulling in topology or other enrichment sources and matching entity names/IDs to log data.

Good luck. Contact in profile if you'd like to chat further.
As a founder in the monitoring space, and now heading up the core monitoring team at Netflix, I had a chance to work with Zebrium and have to say the technology is impressive. Unlike other anomaly detection services, they've done a lot of work to get decent incidents without too much noise completely unsupervised - this is definitely the next generation of observability and Zebrium has a clear head start in this space!

Petrarch's Plague: Love, Death, and Friendship in a Time of Pandemic
This is a PR issue I'm dealing with right now. I'm the founder of a nascent startup that uses commercial flights to crowdsource aerial imagery on a massive scale. I was anticipating skepticism around the feasibility of our approach, but I ended up entertaining many more concerns about surveillance and governmental access. Because we leverage commercial flights, we're able to update our map hundreds of thousands of times/day. The majority of people immediately start thinking of all the uses cases made possible by that kind of temporal resolution, but there's a very vocal, skeptical few. As much as I'd like to brush them off, skepticism is critical and I'm forcing myself to listen and take notes in order to address those concerns in our marketing and content moving forward. It's a fine line.
In the old days there was actually quite a few companies that was created and run by people with very little programming experience but a lot of business sense. In about 1995 I worked for a company that had sold their business system to companies like Eriksson and Dell. But the codebase was about 5 million codes of CBasic, copy and paste programming and GOTOs everywhere. It all started in a guys basement in early eighties. It all started to crumble around the time I was there, because porting that old DOS system to Windows just wasn't possible. And a ew batches of thousand of tons of steel had got lost for big a customer in our inventory management system...

Anyway, the point I was trying to make is that just because someone had developed a successful (in making money) product doesn't mean they are actually good at programming.
Yet the saddest thing about your comment is that even in the face of a virus pandemic that sees no borders or races, you still see it as a "good thing" against your "adversaries" as if you're somehow worthier that everybody else in the planet.

OpenAI started as a non-profit, went for-profit. Still owned by the big players.... Something isn't right.

Is OpenAI just a submarine so the tech giants can do unethical research without taking blame??? Its textbook misdirection, nonprofit and "Open" in the name, hero-esque mission statement. How do you make the mental leap from "we're non-profit and we won't release things too dangerous" to "JK we're for-profit and now that GPT is good enough to use its for sale!!". You don't. This was the plan the whole time.

GPT and facial recognition used for shady shit? Blame OpenAI. Not the consortium of tech giants that directly own it. It may just be a conspiracy theory but something smells very rotten to me. Like OpenAI is a simple front so big names can dodge culpability for their research.

Most links are unreadable (e.g. an ID to a cloud file), and are truncated anyways even if readable.

The preview gives me the title of the webpage, which is infinitely more useful -- especially letting me know whether it's a document I've already seen (and don't need to open) or something new, and if so, what.

> I wonder how it is going to work now that Elsevier's catalog won't work this way

MIT alum here. In my experience you can always request a copy directly from the author by e-mail. There is ResearchGate which aims to make this easier, but doesn't because the fundamental problem is academics don't have time to respond to every e-mail, much less every ResearchGate notification. So yes sometimes you have to ping them by e-mail about 2 or 3 times.

I think ResearchGate -- or even Google Scholar -- should add a feature to allow manuscript requests to be auto-replied with a copy of the document instead of waiting for the author to manually send a copy.

This completely ignores the fact that the culture and people who make up a country do greatly impact it's success. Traditions of working together, independent thought, etc. None of this exists in a vacuum.

If too many people of the same culture move to another country, they won't assimilate. They will form their own subcommunities. This is seen in America with the latin population and in europe with the muslim population.

Very naive proposal.
