there isn't such a thing as the singular christian ethics.

And the theologians i've read who seem the most on point explicitly reject the transactionalist nature of payment-demanding as inhuman and a fundamental misunderstanding of the game.

i'm on board with universal reconciliation, so "pie in the sky when you die" never did it for me anyway, but to be clear i'm also not describing "some happier future state" in my top post as anything other than improvement for our lives as we know them right now on this planet.
Apps wouldn't have to ask ahead for a text entry box.... you just have to only grant paste read access when a user explicitly chooses to paste by hitting a button.
For what it's worth, we do around ~5.1k queries on App Search and pay something like $200.

Looking at Algolia (which we didn't go with because it was too expensive), the cost would be about even right now ($1.50 premium * 6). However, that doesn't include the elastic or kibana instance we get at the moment.

Hopefully the cost doesn't grow too sharply.
>The economic shock was caused in part by a government-imposed shutdown of economic activity in response to a pandemic.

No, the economic shock was caused by businesses being over leveraged and not having cash reserves. I keep hearing how this was the greatest economy the World has ever seen, how good could it really be if businesses are existing paycheck to paycheck?

>Which is why another aid package will probably be passed in July.

Exactly why taxpayers and not businesses should have received the lion share of the bailout funds.

>businesses had to exist prior to February 15, 2020

Look up shelf corps or ready corps. There is rampant fraud with respect to the PPP loans, including by law makers, none of them will end up in jail.
Who cares about what any of these self-important pricks think of themselves? (I'm thinking about both parts of the elite that's a part of this story - both the VCs and the hacks.)
You would never initialize an enum like that, since you would use one of the enumerated values instead. That is, after all, the reason behind defining an enum in the first place.
When could you end up with an enum that has an invalid value? When you get the value during runtime and typecast from an int. In that case, though, you should obviously have a runtime check that verifies the value is legal.

Your example case is something that I can't think of a reason to do. It isn't a case where you would need to be careful and knowledgeable to avoid it - there's just no reason to do it. You would use On and Off instead of defining a variable with this type.
Is elastic search not an option?
I read they are compliant with hippa and other laws.

There are many open source alternatives to algolia too.

I am using meilli search - https://github.com/meilisearch/MeiliSearch atm. It works pretty well without taking huge resources.

Sonic is interesting too if you want something minimal - https://github.com/valeriansaliou/sonic
LinkedIn has a history of acting like a cretin: multiple data breaches, dark patterns where they don't fix their buggy mobile site and just put up a disclaimer "problems with the mobile site - download our app" (just so that they can harvest a wider range of data).

I managed many marketing campaigns on Linkedin over the years and spent thousands each month on the platform as a corporate user. If you think that paying for the service you'd be excluded from their shitty ads and get more granular opt-out features than under a free-subscription model - but nope.

they have literally done nothing to deserve any trust from their users. People still use it because they tell themselves "I might need it one day when I look for a job". That's also wrong - if you're doing it right you build good social connections in the real world because most (if not the only things) you get from LinkedIn is scams.

The only upside where I find LinkedIn useful is for OSINT purposes. It's very easy to find all types of people there and get a rough picture how companies are run (what their employees are working on and what security problems that might imply) and build what the recruiting industry calls talent-maps (competiter analysis) which can be useful in infosec for threat & counter-intel. But it has 0 value for any legitimate purposes (that they advertise the service for).
Doesn't Algolia offer BAAs? I thought I had seen it as part of their Enterprise plan.
I'm the designer, so I hear ya! Definitely agree... we worked hard to make sure Owlbert only pops up rarely. He's not on the homepage (other than a few easter eggs), and barely in the product. He's mostly for swag and the blog!
No kidding, just read all the shit in the news and here on what's supposed to be a tech news site, it's enough to make anybody do that.
There's a library for Julia coming out soon that can differentiate Fortran code. So, while tongue and cheek, it's not that far off!
> I couldn’t have imagined the pro-slavery position was so outspoken and blatant, it’s a bit of a culture shock.

Yeah, it is stomach-churning to us folks with a modern colour-blind sensitivity. It is hard to believe that folks believed that sort of thing.

> Economic incentives are perverse

Not just that, cultural and partisan factors. We see an echo of that sort of thing with the current lunatic rage against facemasks: it makes absolutely no sense to argue against them, yet … people do. The crazier they are the louder they are. Prior to secession, pro- and anti-slavery advocates eventually lost all respect for one another and lost the ability to compromise. Slaveholders thought that abolitionists literally wanted to see them murdered in their beds (cf. the Haitian Rebellion, Nat Turner's Rebellion, the Pottawatomie massacre, Harper's Ferry), and abolitionists had an equally low opinion.

Opinions polarised and ossified. The extremists got more and more vocal, and eventually there was no middle ground. And then everything dissolved into a cataclysm of violence.
The post office (Twitter) is _already_ opening every envelope. That is how the personalized feeds are created.

Do you think the post office should be able to check the content of your message to determine whether to deliver it to you tomorrow, next week, now (if the sender pays more)?

This is a much more complicated issue than a simple publisher-platform determination. The only thing that is clear is that Twitter, Facebook, etc, behave very much like both a platform and a publisher.

I do agree with you that new regulation is critical to help manage these systems.
I have read some of it, but my take-away from everything changed completely once I saw somebody claiming he was being sarcastic.

And the thing is, I'm almost convinced he wasn't. But it still changed how I read it.
Exactly.

My current housemates are vegetarian, they make great food from scratch. But the only reason they can do that is because they shop every other day for fresh produce. And they have a shit tonne of experience in the kitchen. I do OK in the kitchen, but I have no idea what to put with artichoke or how to make soup from scratch without a receipie. Unless you have been taught both skills and how tk mix ingredients, it's just easier to pick up a packet of something and microwave it.
The standard solution for any issue on AWS is to add another service.
It might have been less self-harm promoting and more conceptually correct to tell the AI to delete itself, instead.
Fun idea to think about. FedEx (and many others) refuels at Ted Stevens Anchorage Airport, and it looks like they have 8 refueling pads. Obviously thats a primary function of Ted Stevens and the reason why it has 3 long runways. I dont know how long the refueling stopover is, but the delay cost cant be that bad compared to an efficient, ground-based refueling operation. Then there are other challenges, like a KC-46 (the latest 767 based tanker), can only carry enough fuel to for 3 747-Fs, (or 6 half-fills). Speculating, but these jumbo jets also create so much downdraft causing a trailing plane to fall into an aerodynamic "hole," so that they need a lot of space between planes. The KC-46 costs about $150mm (flyaway cost), plus you have pilot crews, ground crews, etc to maintain them. A robotic system isn't going to look too terribly different, getting a gigantic auxiliary fuel tank up into the air. But hey, solve those problems, you might have something!
Why do you say this comes from AWS?
Haha, no I didn't mean that service in particular. I was using 'special snowflake solution' as a derogatory term for the branded and managed services that cloud providers sell.
A lot of drug trade has stopped due to border closures. Obviously cannot reveal sources. I guess technically i am the source of info, knowing folks who are nervous to make house payments due to mexico border
What do you think motivates states to want stricter and longer lock-downs?
That even partly fits to something the article alludes to, and maybe should have been stated more explicitly: that it's about communication: so getting the people talk to each other and be motivated and try to solve a problem in a specific, commonly agreed way - that is more important than the used technology (which can be overhyped crap)
> Everyone who warned about the upcoming situation was ridiculed and/or insulted in a coordinated effort between government and media

By media? Does it mean the Spanish government owns the majority of newspapers and TV stations? That's not the idea I had from Spain.

> I mean, my regional government which is corrupt, and sometimes hilariously inept has done a better job. What the *@^- man.

I wonder how a regional government with no power, as the central government took it from them, could have done a better job at anything.
I remember talking to a technically minded friend about my clinical depression, and I remember how she mentioned building an app to help solve it. I remember thinking at the time how sometimes building an app isn't the solution to a problem.

Sometimes the best solutions are the simplest, most straightforward, and the least innovative ones: voting in policymakers who craft empathetic public policy, donating to charity, being there for a friend.

Hope you all are doing well :)
I seem to remember it used to be a foldout thingie as you scrolled down (at which point you might as well just hit the 'Desktop' link at the bottom). But apparently no more! I just found it again after some intense staring - it's the icon with two characters on the far left of the bar right under the article title.
First you say "full ownership" means "owning the entire stack," but then you go on and talk about using things you don't own, such as Tor, or Freenet. You talk about "screw[ing] up, and los[ing] your site or your freedom," as if you might have to hide what you're doing. None of that sounds like "full ownership" to me.
So... I can just create an app and take all your private data?

Clicking on links on linkedin emails on android would redirect to the appstore every few clicks. Was that also recommend by the security team?

Fixed by switching to firefox and blocking redirects.
> Whatever happened to those Dreamliners?

They're still being made, they work great, etc. The biggest issue for Boeing is that they've hit really steep production costs on them. The idea is that the first planes start out really expensive to make, but you refine your methods as you continue manufacturing them, and eventually break even and start making a profit on each plane sometime in the future. It's taken Boeing much, much longer than expected to start making money on them.
Could you please expand on that?

Trust between who?
> A judge wouldn’t simply allow “otherwise objectionable” to mean “literally anything.”

Only matters to a limited degree when read in the context of:

> The examples described in this Policy are not exhaustive. We may modify this Policy at any time by posting a revised version on the AWS Site. By using the Services or accessing the AWS Site, you agree to the latest version of this Policy.

If Amazon object to it, even if it isn't 'similarly objectionable', they can adjust their AUP to take it down.
Are there any hosting providers that claim the opposite? Who has a ToS that specifically allows the items in AWS prohibits?
Admittedly, all because I don't want to ding the user that I viewed their profile, but the search results shows enough...
Even if you don’t use the special snowflakes, you’re still in a Linux vs Windows sort of world where your AWS skills won’t apply to Azure if you’re working on the operations and security parts.
Bezos doesn’t care about his wealth or the valuation anymore than John D. Rockefeller did. It’s just more paper. He cares about maintaining control of Amazon and dabbling in his hobbies.

Kneecaping Amazon would result in hundreds of billions in wealth loss spread across millions of investors.
When many airports are restricted by the number or airplane movements (takeoffs and landings), then transporting more passengers requires bigger planes. It was not a stupid plan.

It works well for Emirates, Etihad, Turkish etc. - they fly from everywhere to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Istanbul resp., and depending on the traffic in big or small planes. So you basically get anywhere with 2 hops.
> Everyone uses AWS at the complete discretion of Amazon

Isn't this totally obvious?

What might be more interesting to note, and what the author is testing for, is if/when these cloud providers change the rules of their discretion often or abruptly. But of course we're all at the mercy of these private companies when we run on their hardware.
The same is happening in Canada, it's because addicts are able to get money from the government and they buy far more drugs than they're used to having.

Relentless doom and despair for at least a year with no leadership or hope in sight and the only thing you can do to help is to stay at home as much as possible. Yeah it's the perfect storm for any "self-medicators" out there.
Aren't states prematurely lifting lockdowns to horrific infection increases due to budgetary concerns?
Would the W3C signed exchange spec work for this?
That's a good alternative perspective. But IMO it's still worth pointing out that it's not JUST Besos, it's him AND everyone else who has worked at Amazon since it was founded. There's 10000x more man hours and brain power that have gone into that company than just Besos himself. A lot of people busting their ass to produce that value.
Don't you think, forcing pricing by lawmakers cold be not the best choice? Could it be a lack of competition?

I'd love to see some numbers on this. As far as I understand they are used for freight because it's better than to let them sit empty (and pilots and ground staff have to be paid too), but it still is not profitable.
Does this mean more business for SpaceX' intra-Earth Starship?

I'm guessing that's part of the reason they didn't implement a clipboard permission. It would probably have broken a TON of stuff in weird ways.

I expect to see an actual clipboard permission at some point.
It would get pretty crowded there. Just storing the physical copies of the files may require adding an extension to Sealand :)
States have been chomping at the bit to end their lockdowns. The fact that cases are spiking again is precisely because states were too eager to end their lockdowns.

China had a brutal lockdown early and thanks to that they are now largely back in business. Anti-lockdown sentiment early on is precisely the reason the US has had to prolong its suffering. The reason long lockdowns are happening is because we can’t muster strict.
Asking as someone only passive interested in it (a friend is a developer), any thoughts about the dat protocol and beaker browser as an alternative or does my understanding of tor and dat require adjustment? Do they address the concern you’ve brought up in a meaningful enough way?
>How is this any kind of pro or con? It's just an implementation detail.

Not exactly. It's hardly a detail, and affects use.

The first (not having a VM) in Go's case translates into AOT static compilation, and you not needing to have a VM installed to run your programs.

The second (not using LLVM) translates in Go's case to faster compile times compared to LLVM based compiled languages.

While both have their drawbacks (e.g. LLVM compiled code would probably be faster), both are pluses for my preferences/use cases - not mere implementation details.
I'm a bit confused by this. By my reading of the reopenings and behavior of state governments, many, if not most, state governments want to reopen. They're struggling financially since people aren't working or visiting the states to provide tax revenue. Most of my teacher friends have been in calls with their district administration where cutbacks (either in personnel or across the board pay cuts) have been discussed seriously.

At this point, states want shorter lock downs and the ones that have reinstituted (partially or in whole) the previous lock down orders have done so because of rising case numbers (largely due, it seems, to people behaving as if there were no reason to continue social distancing or wearing masks).

Which state governments do you think want to continue the shutdowns and cripple their economies?
You could try reading Mr Nice https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mr-Nice-Howard-Marks/dp/0749395699
There are more and more reasons to open back the economy. Does it make sense to keep stalling? Most likely some people will avoid the infection this way, but at what cost to others.
There was also a telescoping gantry-like contraption that went across. I can see how that is quite fragile mechanically in a moving vehicle with vibrations and everything.
Yes, it definitely should be available for prevention research.
Choice is certainly a factor and I don't think it needs to be minimized. If we choose well and isolate and elevate symbols of positive and productive principles, we create better guidance for ourselves and for future generations.

Part of doing this well is being able to isolate properly, identifying what made historical figures exceptional, and being able to forgive sins which are considered sinful now, but were common behavior in the past. If you can't do that, you can't preserve people as symbols of principles at all, because the morality of the moment is not guaranteed to be held forever.
> They subsidize their low taxes by sponging off the other states, including California and New York.

California is actually a net recipient (only slightly):

https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/federal-aid...

Texas is also hardly the worst offender. That would be Virginia at $10,301 per capita, compared to $304 for Texas. There is only one state (Utah) between Texas and California.

But if the people of California or New York (which actually is a big net payer) would like to vote away a lot of these federal programs and replace them at the state level at the option of the individual states, I imagine the people of Texas might concur.

> I think it's dangerous when platforms function like a public utility and is yet allowed to do whatever it wants because it's technically private property.

I agree with the direction, but that is the core of a bad argument; if a principle doesn't apply in important cases then it isn't really a principle. It is exactly the same as the "free speech except for things I don't like" crowd. Companies can and should have the power to choose who they serve.

Corporations making decisions about who they serve based on the character of their customers and pressure from intolerant groups is indeed a highly risky political strategy. But the risk is from the power of intolerant and their ability to declare it a 'good outcome' rather than from the corporations themselves.
> questions such as ownership of land at contested borders

The entity representing Kashmir https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q43100 has three statements each for "country" and "territory claimed by", reflecting the claims by China, India and Pakistan. There are separate entities for Taiwan (the Republic of China) https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q865 , Taiwan (the island) https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q22502 , Taiwan (the province of the Republic of China) https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q32081 and Taiwan (the province of the People's Republic of China) https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q57251 .

So Wikidata can handle conflicting information by collecting all of it, but clearly separating the different viewpoints in a kind of "split brain". That works so long as the different sides can agree that their opponent's views are what they state they are.

In an Abstract Wikipedia article, that means that all viewpoints with a sufficiently large userbase might end up represented equally in all language versions, but they'll still be clearly distinguished as such, so the reader can apply their own value judgments to support their own side's viewpoint over that of their enemies.
Not all; unfortunately you can't access previously stored data.

Ask HN: How do you keep your toddlers busy during lockdown?
I'm interested to know what other parents do to keep their toddlers busy at home.

We've two daughters (2 and 3.5 years old). They are stuck at home for the last four months. In our case, we've to monitor them continuously because they do get into frequent fights even though they miss each other when one is napping. Going out during the day is not an option due to the scorching summer (TX).

Here are some activities we do

- We bought/buy a lot of toys, puzzles but they lose interest after a few days
- Make slime
- Painting/finger painting
- Playdoh/kinetic sand
- Bathtub time (we do this multiple times a day mostly after slime and painting)
- Coloring
- Playing with lego
- Occasionally play with Sphero and robots around the house
- Papercrafts
- Self-play until the sisters get into a fight
- TV time when necessary (we want to avoid screen time, so no iPad, or phone)
- The kids love asking Google Home Hub questions like make whale sound, etc. Even though YouTube and playing video is disabled, I think I've to hide it because they ask Google to see pictures of random things they pick up during the day.

Our challenge is their short attention span, they lose interest quickly and have to wait a few days before reintroducing them, so I'm hoping to build a long list of activities to try.

Thanks!
