I don't think there's a good argument to justify mixing PHP and HTML...

Unless you're on your own, how do designers touch the HTML without confronting some PHP code?

Also, you should be using a better templating engine and it's not possible to do so if you mix HTML.
_ The employees decided to work for the company knowing the business model in advance._

I think that's a big assumption.

_If I don’t agree with how a company does business, I don’t buy their products. I don’t go into their store and shoplift._

1. it's too much to have to know about. in the physical world you have a handful of business models, and generally you DON'T get to touch someone's property until there's a transaction or a contract in place. That's not how the web works. I don't know whether I agree or not with a business in advance. It's not reasonable to expect everyone to know how you should engage with a web property ahead of entering their site. All I did is click a link.

2. How is it shoplifting? I was served the bits on clicking a link. I don't like being told how I should use my computers and with the bits I get sent. You don't HAVE to send me any bits.

_That’s not their business model._

Maybe not. It's just my suggestion.
My simple method for avoiding paywalls: I go read about the subject somewhere else.

I’m inundated with news. If there were no news, I’d probably be even happier.
While I don‘t think that this is relevant for my personal thread scenarios, I think that this is unfortunate at least and Apple should change it with new hardware.
No, his blog was deleted when they fired him (I don't remember the details). Also, he's been dead for a few years now.

Both things are a shame because I liked his blog a lot (along with Chen's)
The cookie law covers evercookies like this, so it's not a way to get around that or the GDPR, just around people who turn cookies off.
Provide links to that 'science' if you're going to claim it exists, including any corroborating studies.
In terms of polygonal 3D games, the earliest example I know of is Battlezone, from 1980. It’s definitely a first-person shooter and not a platformer, though.

>If you can't speak out or express thoughts against the rules, you are ceding your own ability to ever change the rules. Allowing a small subset of people to control the rules for the masses has never, will never, and could not ever work in a free society.

That's funny, I find the moderators stifle talking about the rules on Hackernews via secret shadowbans, post rate limiting, and other secret punishments...yet here you are.
There are other open source companies using the Red Hat licensing model now such as Chef. Some are coming to the realization this license style is the only one where the goal of both being open source and having some kind of moat are easy to accomplish. Otherwise every time you start a new code repository you need to think about its license and your future business strategy.
Let’s say I send bits of data of someone else’s bank account username and password and transfer money to my account. Nothing physical has been taken has it?

If someone sends me bits of inside information about a company and I use that to buy or sell stock, is that wrong?

Concepts don’t automatically change because things happen “on the internet”.
That reminded me of this video from the Onion, Meet The Man Inside The Nicolas Cage Costume, which I still love, 8 years later.

Chomsky argued that it was literally impossible for a statistical model to learn language, so to the extent it's possible, it refutes Chomsky's argument.

That's a different claim to the one I countered.

I agree with your last point with the caution that there is no reason yet to think the hyped current AI tools have great relation to the way the human mind works, solely on the basis of the lack of progress towards AGI.
There are zero studies that disprove zinc + early has a strong effect. You are wrong. Also, the lancet study was retracted for flawed methodology, other studies show slight benefit of hydroxychloroquine. There are zero studies that show it has no effect.
This is exactly what happens when you have a society afraid of hiring the right people for the job. You end up with people that can't properly run an organization.
I agree with both those claims completely. Absurd hype, discussed many times here on HN.
Bothsidism is a straw man argument designed to present arguments that compare practical effects of different ideologies in bad faith and give rhetoric to people who have no business making the argument in the first place.

Dismissing an argument based on rhetorical sophistry is keeping your head in the sand while trying to get others to do the same. It’s reckless.
This is classic starve the beast. There is one party that continuously tries to gut government institutions - like putting Betsy Devos to head education, Wheeler to head EPA etc etc and then has the gall to say that government institutions don’t work

Who gutted the pandemic response unit?
> 1. Reducing caffeine intake. The science seems to be fairly conclusive that high caffeine intake is associated with bruxism.

Has the causation been established? It's plausible (perhaps even likely) that people with bruxism consume more caffeine because of sleepiness due to lower quality of sleep.
I think that's a big assumption.

You’ve actually worked at a company without knowing how the company makes money or at least how it plans to make money?

it's too much to have to know about. in the physical world you have a handful of business models, and general you DON'T get to touch someone's property until there a transaction or a contract in place

I touch products all of the time in computer stores and when I test a car. I get to demo stuff in the real world all of the time.
« This result means that it is possible to have _something_ in this range »

What would it even mean for it not to be possible? Two neutron stars of appropriate size collide -- you end up with something. I'm sure the physics are interesting in this range, but I have a hard time understanding how it could just not be possible. (Rare, yes.)
It’s not funny when you understand people. Many people would never pay for something if they can avoid or bypass that. Some people would pay for something if it were cheap enough. Some people would pay for something if the payment method is convenient. Some people would pay for something only if it’s both cheap and convenient. We’ve seen with the arrival of dozens of streaming services that people are tired again of paying say $10 here, $10 there and soon it just becomes substantial.

Nobody has cracked the mass market with micro-payments so far (Blendle tried and failed).

So it’s up to the publishers to figure out what works for them and ignore those who will never pay (or stop wasting a lot of time and money on fighting them).
What Kind of joke is that?

Why do you have conflicts?
I suppose TLoU2 stands out because of it's rather 'serious' story, its unusually graphic violence (and attempts to humanize the NPC's more), and of course the blockbuster nature of it.

Furthermore, I've always found the Naughty Dog core gameplay (in Uncharted as well as TLoU) surprisingly boring and somehow disconnected from the narrative. Good enough to make it more than just an interactive movie, but only passably so.
They're very good all around structures when you want to store anything. i.e. good for any container; just requires an orderable key (or one that can support `contains` and then use a GiST). If the key is orderable then you can iterate over spans with better cache locality.

I think they're only used for databases and file systems because those are cases where people actually bother to write them since they care about performance. If they were in the stdlib then they'd be used for many more things.
Five people at an average salary of $100k plus about $30k each in benefits/401k/bonuses is $650k. Then you have infrastructure costs, software licensing, and overhead like utilities, management, legal, security, etc.
"Believing people without symptoms didn't spread the virus, the agency limited testing, discouraged masking..."

This is false by Fauci's own account (see below interview) in which he states mask wearing was discouraged in order to secure availability for health workers. This is no small distinction as it raises questions about the importance of public trust/credibility during a health crisis.

Given that a lot of people dont read articles and go straight to comments, comments that challenge title are valuable if the title is at odds with article content.
The US is filling the role of the Roman Empire, securing trade routes to allow efficient scales of tech expertise and production. If that military is scaled back or shown to be obsolete/ineffectual, then globalism itself will come into question.

The dark ages were caused by the localizing of production, with local feifdoms losing access to specialized technical expertise. To some extent, this is what we see now with companies moving produuction back to North America.
I think we are only a few orders of magnitude away from systems that are genuinely intelligent.

A few orders of magnitude is potentially very significant.

It's worth remembering that despite the hype and fake-clever systems playing chess and constructing plausible sentences, we still have nothing remotely approaching AGI at the moment, and no reason to think it is on the horizon.

But I agree that the AI tools we have have made significant progress in the line of powerful un-intelligence, and will have significant impact in automation.

Unanswered is the question of where and when a chicken would first have an opportunity to cross a road. The article reports that researchers traced chickens genetically back to southeast Asian pheasants domesticated around 7500 BCE. Beyond the title, the article mentions nothing about roads. At what point in history did some trails and paths become roads?

Leadership matters and affects everyone in and outside the organization.
It's also like AI last century also in the lack of progress towards AGI, so plenty of time to already have been disappointed - certainly nothing to get excited about.
In memory, hashmaps will comfortably beat B(+) trees. If you need to persist data or have too much data for purely in-memory use (and those 2 tend to go together), you tend to reach for some database or the filesystem to as a substrate, which do both very well.

Basically they are not appropriate for most programming use, except that they keep data ordered where a hash won't, and an ordered hash isn't often needed.
I never use one. I have my own scaffolding code that does better than anything else for my use.

Much faster without unnecessary processing that I never use, no weird rules on routing but it's all linked to file name, so it's easier to figure where to look and no ORM but plain SQL that is easier to optimize and know what's going on and it has multi site capability and they're all hosted under different sub domains to keep clear separations of what code is shared and what isn't and lastly logging is far better as they're grouped together by access and not just display logs of different accesses all mixed up which is useless.

If you know what you're doing, frameworks drag you around for no good reason. The only reason I'd use one is if a team wants common knowledge to develop it but otherwise I never want one.

And you mention "any application"? Why would any application not be built without using a framework? Unless you mean libraries that link to your app and not something you base your whole app on.
I've never met anyone like that, but then I've never been to the bay area, nor have I worked in finance or in NYC.

But my point is that I'm unaware of the stereotype. Saying "don't you think it's true" is a digression once removed from that.

It was in the news that Patagonia or someone was refusing to provide vests to financial companies that they were putting their own brands on. So it seems like that is in the category of "everybody knows" that is a thing. Also, I think I've seen a few pictures of Jeff Bezos in one.
What are you relying on for evidence that this happened as you describe?

Trump's administration did request funding to the "pandemic response team", set up by the Obama administration, be cut.

I think a future where bit are only sent/received on all parts terms is a fair one, not dystopian in my mind. It's just that we don't have the right technology to enable such granular decision making at micro-level.

Today businesses argue they are forced to serve multiple megabytes of extra stuff no one REALLY cares (all those trackers, etc) because anyone can just go to their site and pull "their proprietary bits". I think this is pretty dystopian already.
I tried few Reddit alternatives, most of them had the same problem: They attract many people who got banned from Reddit.

A good solution will be to not allow (at least at the first few years) to open a sub around politics.
It's possible, but not easy unless work falls in your lap. If it doesn't fall in your lap, you have to find it and finding it is hard. The difficulty is probably proportional to how rich the people you know are. Rich people are more likely to have a rationale for hiring a software developer and more likely to have the wherewithal to pay for the work. In other words, the kids your friend works with probably don't need software development and don't have much money. Or to put it a third way, you're not hiring your friend which is not a criticism of you just an example of how far up the food chain freelance software clients have to be.
Historically you could count on 5-7%. The outlook for the market over the next 10 years is an annual return of 3-5% (Vanguard). Just wanted to throw that out there to elaborate on the 5% number you put out.
The FDA, the CDC, WHO, our media and governments in the US and UK all need massive systematic reform if not outright replacement.
UI libraries tend to evolve by introducing new APIs or modes, because changing UI implementations has a habit of breaking apps.

For example, on Android even the switch to hw accelerated rendering was a mode app devs had to opt in to, that didn't even change the look!

It can be. It's not passive income since you have to make and ship the items.

If you see other items similar to yours, then there is likely demand. If you don't, then you could experiment by making a few and listing them.
A little aside--I have a colleague who will ask a question, and then they ask another one, at which point you realize they already have an answer. HA! Just tell me the idea. Don't manipulate like a child. Magic spell to make their conclusions inevitable, because you answered two leading questions.

If you have experience with a framework, you should naturally be able to list things you commonly use.

I was recently at an interview where they just asked me to name a list of CloudFormation functions I’ve used and what did I use them for. If I listed that on my resume as something I knew, it was fair game.

It looks like an advertisement of PureVPN. Anyway, advertising VPN as a means of protection against DDoS seems a bit ridiculous to me. The victims of DDoSes are usually websites and company networks in general, nobody bothers with DDoSing a private person's client network, and even if they did, it's trivial to switch to another network in seconds - most households have several mobile phones that can be used as hotspots. So why even bother? Much bigger problem for home connections is participating in a botnet, but that's another story.

"Thirdly, hydroxychloroquine acts as an ionophoric agent for Zinc ions and thus increases the influx of Zinc ions into the cytoplasm of host target cells regardless whether the host target cells are infected or not [10]. Zinc ions adhere to the RNA dependent RNA polymerase enzyme of the virus and stops COVID-19 polymerization intracellularly."

We do need follow up and repeated clinical trials.

> In univariate analyses, zinc sulfate increased the frequency of patients being discharged home, and decreased the need for ventilation, admission to the ICU, and mortality or transfer to hospice for patients who were never admitted to the ICU. After adjusting for the time at which zinc sulfate was added to our protocol, an increased frequency of being discharged home (OR 1.53, 95% CI 1.12-2.09) reduction in mortality or transfer to hospice remained significant (OR 0.449, 95% CI 0.271-0.744). Conclusion: This study provides the first in vivo evidence that zinc sulfate in combination with hydroxychloroquine may play a role in therapeutic management for COVID-19.

Scientists discover how to grow coloured cotton
While I think that politicians are primary people to blame, I dont think the "I was afraid for my job" is good enough answer from high level leadership figures. That answer is acceptable from janitor or low level worker.

I think that culturally, both in business and in politics, we are locked in set of values that makes opposition or disagreement against someone higher in hierarchy or with power as inappropriate and subservience as virtue. It then amounts to massive system of enablers who feel good about themselves and even criticize non-enablers wherever narcissist appears.

We praise people who manage to climb the ladder no matter how they got there and what they do there. We devalue people who make ethical decisions when said decision hurts their career.

Umm... yes it wasn't? Invention of a light bulb was not a scientific discovery. No new physical laws were discovered in the process. You can invent something useful by bruteforcing through many trials and errors or even by just plain luck, without creating any new scientific understanding along the way. (Btw Wikipedia does not even regard Edison as a scientist.)

WebRTC negotiates a peer-to-peer protocol which operates like client/server but has issues with NAT/PAT and firewall traversal. Each peer will realistically only know about its local network and there will also likely be limitations on the peers even being able to communicate with one another directly.

STUN and TURN allow the negotiation to include services outside the local network so that you can relay signaling and stream data to a set of endpoints that both peers can use to communicate with one another. This could be the peers directly or it could be a set of 3rd party servers run by Google or someone open to the public and you can't assume any particular network topology.
The majority of DoD's budget is not salaries. Only the salaries should be scaled in this way.

I think dropbox (or any “magic folder” sync) is great as well.

YouNeedABudget used to do this and then “upgraded” to use their own proprietary service that charges $X/month.

I think it’s not just the data monetization, but that frequently data sync is the only feature that requires ongoing services. So if I write software and want to charge a monthly service fee, then data sync is where I can force the service.

Companies can do whatever they like, but jerk companies will make poor designs that require their own magic sync. Smart companies should fall back to a sync folder to allow self-run and just charge me for software.
