Modern web frameworks are also too complex. What I can achieve in Knockout.js in a few lines of code, and need many wrapped layers of complexity or libraries for in React and Angular.

It is almost that an attempt was made to hide complexity by adding more complexity.
Plenty of people can visualize an image in their head as if they are seeing it in real life. As one of those people, trust me that if your brain is set up to work that way, it's pretty difficult to imagine any other way of picturing the world. Likewise there are plenty of people who honestly can't picture things in their mind at all. The fact that you are towards the middle of the spectrum does not mean the extremes don't exist.
Millions of people risking their lives to beg the government to stop murdering people and police engaging in widespread violent crackdown against those people demonstrating is exactly what happens in those countries.

I don’t know how systematic police murder and beating up peaceful protestors looks different to you when it happens in the US and when it happens elsewhere.

What is it about the anthem or flag that makes you see it differently?

Look at Hong Kong protests, then look at police beating people in cities across the US it’s the same.

What are the concessions from the US government? A few minor police reforms to encourage cops to stop killing minorities on camera, qualified immunity is still here, so basically nothing.

At least China and Russia consider healthcare a human right like any developed country. The US health care system is depraved.

In general my dreams have duller images than reality, but I had a dream many decades ago, after a half-dramatic winter day in the mountains - when sleeping in the tent that night I was dreaming about a summer day where I walked over the top of a hill, and in front of me was a valley with an old road, and fields of yellow flowers as far as I could see. What was special was that it was extremely sharp and vivid, much more so than reality. I could see every individual flower, from an apparent distance of a hundred meters or more. And at the same time I could see it all.

I still remember that dream vividly. Which is also unusual for me.

>extrajudicial murder of black people.

Thought experiment:

If that were true, prisons wouldn't be full of black people as it would be more much more convenient (and economical advantageous) to extrajudicially 'murder' them, as you claim. But since reality shows, most black criminals don't die in altercations with the police, even when getting belligerent, your assertion is wrong.

African Americans commit crimes at a disproportionally higher rate than any other race, therefore have more run-ins with the police and despite having a much higher tendency for violent outbursts[1], only a 2-digit number of arrets led to deaths of the arrestee and of those only an even smaller fraction could be considered "wrongful". Even the death of George Floyd is better explained by "heart-attack induced by stress and exertion while resisting the arrest while overdosing on Fentanyl" than being choked to death by racist cop, especially when the medical examiner found no signs of asphyxation.

But to BLM actual facts don't matter, for them it's Black vs White, manufacturing the narrative that Black people "are being hunted down in the streets" and "extrajudicially murdered".

The internalized victim-complex and tribal thinking inside the Black community leads to this dangerous reversal of cause and effect and that is also why it's unlikely the situation will improve. 'Live by sword, die by the sword', so to speak.

You will be hard-pressed to find a video where white people will act like these guys.

Rap music is THE pillar of Black culture. And these artists will be the role models for all those Black adolescents.

And I'm not even touching the issue the 'Black Lives Matter' org is run by Marxist ideologues to instigate a violent communist revolution in the US.

/r/askhistorians should be impartial enough not to pander to a trendy movement based on a false narrative and especially not condone an org with ulterior political motives.

Anonymity ≠ privacy

We're having a discussion about an unknown account - which may or may not be an individual person - moving specific amounts of money around anonymously, not privately.
Not really tech related; However, I think its is a silly idea, mostly in that for 2020, it just won't happen. Something like this needs momentum well before the general election. I saw this retweeted with no reference for how this was already in the works, even though that was in the claim. For 2024, this would have to show something by 2022 as so the unity campaign will actually have representatives people can get to know and have stake in up into the election year. I'm just pessimistic. It's not a bad idea in itself, it's just probably not going to go anywhere.

You're assuming the Bitcoin changed hands though. Transaction doesn't necessarily imply that.
Probably just twice. Bitcoin addresses are check summed so it's nearly impossible to fat finger a mistake.
Not ironic at all. All that matters is the content, not the way it is delivered to the user.
A) Not charging differently does not mean it is free (which was the original argument).

B) The "target" bank can still charge you independently of your bank.

E.g. (and I do this kind of transfer very very often so I am 100% sure it is so and I am also 100% sure this is legal): A transfer from Germany to Germany is free. A transfer from Germany to Greece is not as the Greek bank charges a fee.
1. I love the “fast pencil” analogy, especially as I have used it for maybe forty years(!) in various consulting, sales, and software design roles.

2. That being said, there is a thing we used to call The “maturity model.” The customer using a pencil is very low in maturity. But leapfrogging past a fast pencil is often difficult.

Sometimes, customers have to evolve their way up the maturity model, so first you give them a fax machines (a fast pencil for sending documents by messenger), then you hook the fax machine up to their word processors (fast pencils for documents), then you wire the fax machine to the word processor so it can send faxes directly, then you introduce email and PDF, then you introduce collaborative editing, &c. &c.

Sometimes a customer can leap several levels of maturity in a single bound, but often not. The ones most likely to make a big leap are usually those with the least investment in their existing pencils.

So small shops, startups, young users early in their career are often good candidates for “you don’t want a faster pencil, you want collaborative editing.”

3. Nevertheless, I like the fast pencil analogy.
For driving-and-talking specifically, I remember reading somewhere that when you need to pause for a second and focus on driving, it’s obvious why to a passenger and they can preemptively stop talking, but not obvious to someone on the phone. The person on the phone has no context and will keep talking in your ear as you try to maneuver through a stressful situation.

This has already been shipped in Chrome (and Chrome only) for some time. Given Google is behind this, I have to wonder what their intent is with portal as I could see it end up in the next big round of attention and click hijacking a la AMP (think rich previews in Google Search giving visitors even less of a reason to go to your site).

In principle I'm all for adding new declarative UI elements to HTML the markup language but forgive me my lack of enthusiasm after years of failed attempts by Firefox devs into this direction that were never implemented in Chrome. And I can't see the point in HTML elements when you need JavaScript to make use of them anyway (same issue with HTML components).
Yeah IIRC (from when it was introduced) it's an easy way to add SPA-like performance to your Ruby app by only re-rendering the <body> tag; no need to rebuild your server-side rendered app to a single-page application.
Your comment is a beautiful demonstration of the problem -- a lack of understanding of the existing tool drives a desire for a new, different tool.

There is absolutely nothing about apt or dpkg that are os specific other than they require a posix-like environment. The same goes for rpm and yum. And pacman.

At the end of the day, these package managers all do the following:
1) describe the dependency relationships of packaged software
2) describe where to extract files
3) describe any actions that need to be taken prior to or after extracting files

There's nothing stopping you from installing .debs with dpkg on an RedHat system nor .rpms with rpm on a Debian system aside from conflicts when both package managers try to put files in the same place.

This same conflict occurs when language package managers come into the picture, because newsflash: someone else has been working on the same fucking problem for decades, and somewhere between just ignoring their work, and actively hampering it.

Erhmmm, why does his age or colour matter in this context? Debate can happen about people and their leadership style, (I'm not a fan of Torvalds) but when the first criteria someone sees for criticizing another person is their age, colour, or race, that seems a bit shallow and biased.

I am a 30-year-old female who lives with my 70-year-old, widowed Mom in California. She's not doing great financially and is sick, so I help her a lot, and provide company as she gets pretty lonely. Been protecting her a lot from going out too much since the pandemic started, so that's sort of worked out. I'm not sure if those of you who say it limits dating options are men, but for me, my options haven't been limited at all. And in the past few months, I have noticed a lot of men I've spoken to on dating apps are back at home. I have continued to talk to them and don't think anything of it. I get it -- it's a pandemic, it's smart to save money, and honestly our parents could do with the help right now. Helping them means they don't need to go out as much, reducing their risk. So if you're a man worried about this, which I suspect some of you are, don't! The only issues: 1) sometimes I fear my Mom has become too dependent on me for social needs and what not, and it can be a lot. But this is something I am trying to work on. 2) the stigma I face weirdly is when I read threads like this lol and read people calling people like me "losers." It does make me feel pretty badly about myself, irrationally so. But normally when I tell people in real life about my situation, nobody really cares that much. Some people say it's wonderful my Mom has me. I think to make this work, be of value to your parents, whether that's helping them financially or just being a social support. Just make sure it stays healthy, and it should be fine.
No, you can't.

Your house has to be registered to someone and you have to declare who lives in it, if it's yours.

At face value this is undeniably true, but:

1. it's less so the farther `you` gets from the average HN reader

2. it smacks of (politically) motivated reasoning. The point of posting anything on here is to open discussion on it, not to shut it down

What was the exploit? I've been sitting on one that's essentially as old as the web but I figured it was pointless to try to alert browers about it because too much functionality rests on it.
In contrary this person doesn't seem upset at all. What rhetoric are you picking up upset by? It seems reasoned and evidenced logic to me.
Lots of thoughts.

First, there's a sort of framing issue with "subjective answers to questions" per the press release. These subjective experiences are the very nature of the thing of interest: feeling desperate, crying for help, loss of energy, and so forth. To dismiss them is, at some level, is akin to a chemist dismissing oxygen gas as an appropriate target of study because it's all subatomic particles at some level. These types of press releases often start with this notion, in my mind, because it's necessary to create some sense that the study in question is revolutionary.

I do think they're something of a bootstrapping problem with supervised approaches, which is why in psychopathology and psychiatry research there's a trend toward modeling symptom/behavioral presentations using "unsupervised" approaches. This is partially the impetus behind NIH RDoC, for example, and when you do this, you end up with similar but not identical constructs as DSM diagnoses. The recent DSM (DSM-5) was supposed to address this in part but got mired in politics.

If you look at the actual results, by far the most important features in predicting future symptom state are previous values of those symptoms. So follow-up symptom A is best predicted by baseline symptom A. This autocorrelation importance is a sort of law of behavioral individual differences. The EEG variables are adding in the prediction, but relatively weakly, which further speaks to the central importance of the subjective variables, which is informationally mediating whatever is going on under the skull.

This is really further underscored if you start thinking about things like this: are the EEG signals adding most to prediction of "physical" symptom improvement? There's also a literature about severity of symptoms; it's possible to make predictions of symptom response based on other criteria from previous studies and this paper does little to address that in a head-to-head comparison. K-fold cross validation is also good, but isn't the same as replicating something on entirely different sets of people with different sorts of heterogeneity due to unknown sources.

It's an interesting paper but people need to be cautions about the hype that goes on in these areas (biological psychiatry and AI).

It's hard to say whether zoom would have seen this sort of traction without this pandemic.

With my own team, it won with one very important feature: the audio processing was better, which meant we didn't have to worry as much about muting or wearing headphones.

We wanted to use slack, but on linux you can't share a single window, and with three screens, that's out. Up until recently we couldn't use them for more than one person, anyway. Google meet was OK, but _required_ headphones. I ended up buying a nice expensive pair of headphones specifically because we were using google meet / hangouts / whatever. Otherwise, it was echoes all around.

With zoom, these things went away. It wasn't 100%, but it was damn near close for us. And this was with a technically savvy team in a software company. When it came to chatting with less savvy friends and family, it was an obvious choice for the same reasons.
Disagree; it's a draft proposal, they can weigh in and vote against it.

If it's ratified and becomes a standard however, THEN they can start working on implementing it. But until then, nobody can slag off an implementer for not implementing a draft.
I mean that's pretty much the whole trick to it. It gets to the boat with the rest of the mail, and batched with all the other people are shipping to the US, and then delivered to your door with the rest of the mail.

> After adjustment for age, sex, and chronic treatment with corticosteroids and/or immunosuppressants [...]

Interestingly, I didn't see from the summary that they were controlling for the conditions for which individuals were being treated with HCQ and the impact they had on their lives.

If people with Lupus are treated with HCQ (they are) and people with Lupus are often forced to make behavioral changes like staying indoors and out of the sun and avoiding physically demanding activities - which they are - doesn't it seem reasonable that those lifestyle changes would result in fewer SARS-CoV-2 infections?

FWIW, I'm very much open to the idea that HCQ may be a viable treatment for COVID-19. I've not kept up with the clinical results since it became a political issue, but it originally seemed to be a promising avenue of research. Once Trump started talking about it, it became all but impossible to find data about its effectiveness that wasn't obviously politically motivated.

This paper doesn't appear to be politically motivated... but it also doesn't appear to provide strong evidence one way or another.
The big adoption driver in Sweden is the Amex SAS Eurobonus card which lets you collect air miles with the card. It's one of the few cards in Sweden that lets you "game" a points system slightly.
> they say the data suggests that HCQ is protective.

Only, I fail to see that the data does that. And their explicit claim is, which I specifically quoted directly from the paper:

"We were able to show that patients taking HCQ have had reduced odds of SARS-CoV-2 infection"

It's not different than "there were more people believing in Santa Claus proportionally in those negatively tested, so that means that Santa Claus belief reduced odds of SARS-CoV-2 infection."

It just doesn't.

Even if A is true, in such a construct B doesn't follow. Like it was already noted, those treated could have been also less willing to do risky things. Or it could have been a mere coincidence, like in the Santa Claus example.

I wonder how much of this is 2D/3D and a feeling of “presence.” Anecdotally, I’ve been playing various games in VR with friends & family and it just feels so much more like I’m there. I’d be interested to see research on building trust in virtual 3D environments vs. 2D video chat.

Also, the email vs. in-person donation research didn’t make sense to me. Of course someone that asks you for a donation in-person will get a higher response. However, the reason would be social pressures, reciprocity and/or conformity rather than anything inherent to physical presence.
