You may want to add stuff like this to the site, if you expect donations.

Being open and transparent about donations and where the money is going etc would also go a long way. So would open sourcing all the analysis etc.
One facebook page in one city (which had an SS concentration camp just outside it during WW2) doesn't support your claim.
Why so much hate for infinite scrolls? What if your content is "infinite". I can't see a better way to handle that.
I just study climate developments and geological history sometimes and volcanoes are a big part of that. They've shaped life on earth.
I spent nearly two decades in the Navy as an IT. The "NEETS modules" were always required study material for portions of the IT/ET/IC, etc. advancement exams.
The one where the company behind has a good reputation and seems trustworthy. Like Mullvad where their real address, developers, history and open source projects are available on the website (https://mullvad.net/en/help/no-logging-data-policy/) and they have been around for a while without any scandals that I'm aware of.

If there's a new provider out with no name, company address, audits or history and tells me they are not sharing personal information I just have to take their word for it. So it's not much better than the alternative if I can't verify it.

I know it was said over 2000 years ago, but ravens are quite intelligent. Raking up there with primates and estimated to be similar to a 3-4 year old human. Birds get a bad rap with terms like "bird brained", but it's rarely true, even for those that people consider pests like pigeons[1].

Fascinating. Why don't you think it's possible to build such a construction company? (I have no experience in construction.)
From what I can see in the Boston area--not that I've gone to stores much--you still see bare shelves and you can't really go to the store and expect to get everything on your shopping list.

On the other hand...

Getting food to eat was never a problem at any point. And today, reliably getting meat, chicken, dairy, paper products even if not exactly what you want, most baking supplies, etc. is pretty much a non-problem.
correct, it could happen today.

humans are really bad at conceptualizing the risk from such events. we are also overdue for another major solar geo storm (ie. like the carrington event).
Biden has out polled Trump since at least February. At no point was Trump's victory assured. And his defeat is not assured either (donate to the campaign).
One limitation of this system as it currently exists seems to be that you need a working i386 NetBSD host to built the filesystem. It might not be worth the effort once pkgin gets involved, but in theory I would expect this to be perfectly possibly to get around; after all, NetBSD's own build.sh is perfectly happy to build a full system image for ex. i386 NetBSD from source on ex. an amd64 Linux host. Or, if you didn't want to deal with cross-compiling, perhaps it would make things easier to build a Fakecracker VM that itself builds root filesystems, analogously to building docker images from a container using dind.
Russ Cox on the importance of the Golang BLM banner
"Effectively bloodless" and "actively supported" are missing the "as reported in Russian media" and "by the people left". The UN reports something like 13,000 people died and between the UNHCR and the IDMC says there's something like 1.5-2 million people internally displaced by the Crimean annexation. That's in a region with a 2014 population of around 2.3m.
This is a bit of revisionist history. The way the "discovery" was announced was slightly subdued, they called it an "anomaly", and added the caveats that it could be due to some errors, but they also stated that the "deviation of the neutrino velocity from c would be a striking result pointing to new physics in the neutrino sector". So pretty much, we are not 100% sure, but if this is correct, this is revolutionary.

That's not exactly the tone of someone who asks the larger community to assist with a debugging exercise.

And the recent announcement repeats the same pattern. "This could be due to some equipment malfunction, but if not, then this is big".
It was obviously not a mistake. Also: https://www.axios.com/trump-juneteenth-38ee6f09-5741-47ef-9c...
Am I the only one left with a befuddled feeling of missing context when it comes to particle physics? Like what does it mean for dark matter to be axions? "What's a quark?", Etc.

I feel like I have a context for understanding electrons and protons. I have read A Brief History of Time. What do I read next in order to have this article not sound like mumbo jumbo?
Comment section in HN is generally the most valuable part of reading an article for me. I hope those people who put out well thought out comments also bless some of these types of article with their well thought out responses.

As for this article, is the triangle strictly the issue? If the same ad is run with a different symbol, would it be fine? If that is the case, what are the list of symbols that are not to be used in ad campaigns?

As someone else commented, I googled antifa symbol and most of the results seem to be a double flag of some sort. So I am not sure what exactly the motivation is behind a red triangle (I saw the comment about "nazi concentration camp symbols").

Lastly, facebook probably removes ads all the time for all sort of minor reasons. Is there a good reason to believe this was somehow malicious?
I feel like posts like this are just somebody missing the web how it used to be. I mean the Web IS an app platform now.
Its more a communist union thing than an antifa thing. JL Melanchon, radical left in France, is wearing a small pin red triangle. Not that often used in antifa movement, its more an union thing.

At least in the US, far more people should be removed from society, yes. Even a brief search will turn up large numbers of rapists and murderers (for example) that are sentenced and released over and over again. This is indeed arbitrarily cruel to law-abiding citizens.

As far as it goes, I think conditions in prisons should be far nicer than they are now. In these days of videoconferencing, it needn't be very different than lockdown. I don't believe in punishment; I believe in permanent removal from society.
* you can disable it

* sites can already do the same thing with javascript. this simply standardizes it, AND makes it easier to block (since it's a different request type rather than being lumped with other xhr).
I think some mix should be reached with auto formatting. I like the automatic indentation I get in Emacs with clojure-mode, but for everything else, manual formatting is just better.
its useful for the people who needed it before their access to it was drastically limited by hoarding.

Are there any exploits based on fonts?
Pre-nups and wills are great examples of how simple agreements can be...prior to the internet you could pick up standard forms from stationary stores.

Google "contract on a cocktail napkin", most of the top results will be for million dollar contracts on cocktail napkins...so maybe we just have a different opinion about "enforceable, but almost worthless."
My take is just because you can doesn't mean you should. It seems like there is no such thing as infinite content, and if you feel like you are in a case where there is adding constraints will probably improve your product/ux
remdesivir is a quite new drug and really hard to manufacture. Also HCQ is a very old drug, created on WWII and really easy to manufacture.
Further, it's just a random FB page with only a couple hundred followers. The actual antifa symbol is completely different.

Human lives are worth less and less as time goes on and the population increases, so by the time this happens the loss of life might not be anymore troubling than say the amount of people killed in car crashes in a year.
You only watch CNN too?
That wasn't me. It's a nice visual but I think it's mostly for fun.

I'd say it's mostly hammers on porcelain. A coder carefully creates something (porcelain) and then the hammer comes around and insists it has to be a perfectly shaped commodity thing.

Same reason and emotion I guess behind both.

This feels like it's gonna be terrible for people already doing ML.

Now, the following has more than a bit of elitism, I'm aware of that, so please don't comment to point that bit out...

I'm afraid that searching for answers to specific ML questions will start feeling like trying to google some Windows problems (every few years when I make the mistake of trying to help someone out) where it's all "download this, then click here..."

I hope I'm wrong and this will only be used by people willing to go the extra mile...
Chineese Concentration camps maybe? I'm distancing myself from US news but sometime its just everywhere.
Apparently so and it’s something the articles website is highly critical of.
Wow. That is very cool.

Edit: https://air-gap.it/ seems down. But https://github.com/airgap-it is up.

I wonder if one could cut up QR codes, and store pieces separately. If that were done in Gimp or whatever, there could be multiple copies of each piece.
Usually when introducing such a tool you do 1 commit that reformat the whole codebase to the new style and then automatically enforce it.
Agreed.

I think the key for me is that, at least under the original Presidential Surveillance Program, the providers that participated were not compelled to share their user's metadata. They shared it willingly, regularly, and in bulk. There is reference to a service provider backing out of this agreement a few years later, telling the NSA they would feel more comfortable sharing the data if it were compelled.

It's not clear if this has changed since 2013. But assuming Mozilla, or Mullvad, isn't compelled to share _all of their data_ it seems unlikely that they would willingly give that up to a government surveillance program.

I think ISPs have demonstrated they aren't trustworthy. For most people in the U.S., it seems, finding someone more trustworthy than their ISP is literally anyone who isn't admitting that they collect and share their private data. I would be surprised if Mozilla doesn't clear this bar.
They're very different contexts. Gilead doesn't have such a large stockpile or production capability for Remdesivir. Everything Gilead had was turned over to the government.

From May 3rd:

"Gilead CEO says remdesivir will be available to patients this week: ‘We’ve donated the entire supply’"

"Gilead expects to produce more than 140,000 rounds of its 10-day treatment regimen by the end of May and anticipates it can make 1 million rounds by the end of this year."

Do you feel like this problem is unique to engineers?

I can see how other positions like sales can be more quantitatively measured in terms of contribution but my hunch is that many positions fall into this area of nebulous value estimation.

Or perhaps is more pronounced in software because of the amount of margins these companies work with
How many people reading this have a years worth of food? Could any of us survive something similar to this eruption? I think covid really opened alot of peoples eyes to extreme worldwide disasters (volcanos, large earthquakes, pandemics) and how most are not prepared for it at all and yes these things do and will continue to keep happening.
Ok, suppose for a minute this is true.

Imagine you're in charge of making campaign ads for the Trump. You google image search "antifa logo" and see a sea of stuff that looks like two flags in a circle. ...but instead you choose some obscure symbol that's not in the first page of results?? I mean that really strains credulity. Like, it's definitely possible, but Occam's razor is working hard against you.
There are so many stories like this that played out with events such as wide ranging as WWII, I had never heard this one before.
The one that drives me crazy are websites that say they only support safari on iOS... It’s all safari under the hood.
One angle on the TP problem is that we didn't just have a shock, we had a shock and then lasting change in demand. I saw an article that says demand for residential sized TP rolls is up 40% because a lot of bathroom visits are happening in homes that used to happen in work places.
Current projections of Earth's population have a peak population of about 11B (only 40% higher than today) towards the end of the century and then declining. It's always hard to know what's going to happen in the future, but currently it's pretty unlikely that we'll ever see a worldwide population all that much higher than what we already have.
It's up to us to do that work. Don't worry about OP. Greatly oversimplifying the situation, there are four levels to this: people who receive the brunt of our society's bullshit; people who recognize that they're flawed and want to improve; people who think they're perfectly unbiased and get offended by the notion that they need to work; and people who are unapologetically racist. And I've met individuals that belong to both first & fourth camps -- that's a damned hard conversation that needs to happen laterally (not your job, not my job except with other white trans women).

It sounds like you're in the second camp. You can work on people in the third camp. Be on the lookout for bias, speak out, and correct it. Be prepared for blowback; it's a risky business. But eventually some of them will wake up and say "wow, racism really does impact some people worse than others, maybe I should update my philosophy."

You can provide support to people in the first camp by providing support when they ask for it, learning about the conditions they experience, and not expecting them to fix your shit, and by confronting those in the fourth camp without being told or asked, especially when they act out in front of folks in the first camp. If you're in a position of authority, you can mete consequences to abusive folks in the fourth camp, you can adopt strict policies regarding misbehavior, etc. If you're making high level financial decisions, you can choose not to do business with folks from the fourth camp. One day, they might wake up and say "fuck, it is mighty unprofitable to maintain my conscious biases, maybe I should work on that."

I didn't say OC couldn't do the work because of disability. I said it in part because black people trying to talk to racists about racism is like putting fires out with gasoline. But also because I can't be responsible for a random stranger's actions -- I can react to them, but not prevent them.

Most people use a VPN because it lets them have a different geolocation (to watch Netflix in a different country, access thepiratebay, etc.)

If you do use a VPN to mask your traffic, there are two questions to ask yourself:

1. who are you masking your traffic from?

2. can you trust the VPN network more?

In general, you cannot trust a VPN network more, and HTTPS is the solution as it provides end-to-end encryption with some important caveats (web PKI)

Running your own VPN is not a good solution either, because who owns the servers where your VPN is running?
In Russia and poorer countries the lifestyle of a woman working as a nurse or teacher is radically different from one working as an engineer. In Scandinavia the difference is very small, you'll send your kids to the same schools, the same universities, you have the same medical care anyway, so you can afford to work with something you enjoy.

I don't really understand your logic. The biology is the same in both places, but we can all agree that Sweden is 100 times more progressive. Even if you claim there are still stereotyping here, their effect would be much much smaller. How can that be reconciled with the much larger disparities we see in Sweden?
git diff has a --diff-algorithm parameter that has several options to choose from. I don't know whether Github supports that via url parameters though.
Because they refuse to believe that it is an extinction level event (“project fear”); or they think the threat of damage will force their opponent to surrender (“they need us more than we need them”).

It would hardly be the first time that a government failed to understand the situation they found themselves in.
Was it hard to convince them to give you that chance?

Some companies seem to prefer to hire from the outside rather than to give the chance to someone internally.
This morning I there was an article in Finnish news that a bank stopped a 50€ bank transfer with the subject "Hasan" (obviosly a first name common Afghanistan). A reason was even given: A match with some unnamed sanction list.

Maybe somebody should try to get the word "tax" on a sanction list...

I think this is a good division but I'd switch the order. Deep work requires concentration that rapidly evaporates later in the day. This varies between people but I find I'm most successful when I put my most difficult and demanding work in the morning.
And your second sentence is 14 words.

So people can produce that by accident, even when they're aware of the significance of 14 words. Condemning someone for a sentence with 14 words in it is likely to produce a huge number of false positives.
The 2010 eruption of Iceland's Eyjafjallajökull [0] was a small sample of the perturbations that a volcanic event can have on day to day lives. And it was a relatively small eruption. Anything much larger than that will most likely have devastating effects on modern society on pretty much all levels and it's not really a matter of "if" but "when".

Besides eruptions, many other scarier events can cause huge shifts on the planet's thermal equilibrium including our current state of global warming or many other unknown events (like whatever happened to cause the Younger Dryas [1] "only" ~13k years ago which is theorized to have been either a mega eruption, impact event or stellar supernova).

It's pretty scary and definitely not something that we're at all prepared even with all our technology so we're basically in a permanent state of risk of complete reset which is guaranteed to happen eventually. Sadly it's not something most of us spend too much time thinking or preparing for. I guess this is largely because we live very short lives and that make these kind of events appear much "larger than life" so they go mostly ignored except for some underfunded science departments or the occasional billionaire. To me this is the main reason that going multiplanetary or space habitat based is basically the only way to escape this inevitable doom even though that is also a huge barrier to overcome on so many levels.

I don't understand how the existence of a downward red triangle as an emoji serves as evidence that they wanted to use it only as an arrow. All this says to me is that they wanted to use a downward red triangle, which is the entire point.

Edit: Also, we know already that it has a deeper meaning, since the White House has told us that.
That, I've gotten surprisingly used to. (atleast Black is smart about using single-quotes instead if you use double-quotes in a string)

It's not about right or wrong. Having a mental disability, or some invisible issues, can make life hell on multiple levels. It's just not comparable to being discriminated against based on ethnicity or gender. It's a silly comparison and different for each person, encounter, moment, and may be experienced "better or worse".

It should be cool to be yourself, but very hard when stonewalled every moment due to prejudice. Some, or even most wins, need to be for others first.
I wouldn't say I'm arguing for it. I don't have any real problem with the status quo as it pertains to privacy policies. I'm just saying IF you have a problem with privacy policies, it needs to be very inexpensive to defend lawsuits on privacy grounds which are currently defensible only due to privacy policies.
I suppose it depends on what problem you use TypeScript to solve. If you're writing a complicated and self-contained system, sure, I can see the appeal of "upgrading" to Java. If you're trying to enforce contracts between different codebases/libraries/etc., WASM hardly provides a better alternative: integrating with other libraries—especially JS ones—or even the DOM is non-trivial.

Which is to say, using TypeScript as a quality of life improvement to provide autocomplete and checking for easily-detectable bugs is not going to lend itself well to being replaced with WASM. If the goal is to write a 100% typed codebase (e.g., having a complex, entirely self-contained tool that runs in multiple environments), you will have better luck. But I suspect the number of folks that could benefit from that are fairly low, because it assumes that JavaScript is the bottleneck for correctness and performance. But if the real reason why you're using TypeScript is that JavaScript was your only choice and you like the increase in safety, having a more appropriate language could be an even more attractive option.
