The comment to which you're replying isn't referring to replicas though, but rather original paintings fraudulently attributed to a famous artist:

> FBI agents have identified eight probable forged paintings, five of which were billed as previously unknown works of Ault, an American artist active through the 1940s. Two other paintings were purportedly created by Crawford, an artist active through the 1970s whose precisionist style was similar to that of Ault, according to the search warrant affidavit. The last painting was purportedly created by Abercrombie, a surrealist American artist active through the 1970s.

To use your analogy, it would be as if someone created a car using Ford Mustang styling cues, but that wasn't a replica of any Mustang that Ford ever made, and claimed that it was a Ford Mustang prototype found hidden in a garage.
I am not sure if this is true for the benchmarks but last week they fixed a bug in (I believe) hair rendering. Render times went from 45 to 5 minutes.

So it all depends in what is being rendered and how a render core is optimized for it.

Also things like b-tree calculations and other algorithms might influence this.
I'd work at Facebook if the salary (plus benefits, coworkers, and mission) appealed to me. My compensation wouldn't become unappealing just because other people made more.
Yeah, it's getting hard to tell what are real accounts. So many pose as a left/right wing person and spout a little too ridiculously.
I don't really think Amazon should be included with the other 2. I can't think of anything they've made that was "planned to be a breakout show" and didn't succeed. Their pilot program that they used to run might've been the reason for that. They're also really quick to give up on series that don't do well (which is pretty similar to Netflix).
I just enrolled in advanced protection, and was then able to unenroll without 2FA re-auth....

I agree that requiring 2FA re-auth on trusted devices to disable 2FA would be a terrible default for users with only one method, but Advanced Protection should do more.
I think this statement is being misunderstood by a lot of people here.

The Google Drive backup is most likely still encrypted, just not "end to end" because the key needs to be stored on a Facebook server.

That makes a lot more sense to me.
>"Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive." and "Eschew flamebait."

I mean, tbh, these are rather vague guidelines. You could say my comments are "thoughtful and substantive." I made an observation that the corruption in the article had many responsible parties and people from all walks of life participating in it, more than what would normally happen in the states. The fact that so many people participated does say something about the culture in general.

As for "eschew flamebait"... how much flame did this post cause? There's definitely a bit a flame, but I would say overall a flamewar didn't happen. So basically you're wrong. You use your "experience" to justify the warning but I would say your experience is wrong for this case... most of the sub threads aren't things that I would classify as flame.

I get where you come from though. It's hard to see from a distance whether a comment will cause a forrest fire.

Maybe put out the forest fire if you see one starting, but don't ban the use of matches all together.
Joe Biden’s Economic Plan and Type 2 Socialism
The author obviously did not read the (Heinlein) book.
As the author seems to be here, the links in the "Add features to my PWA" section on pwabuilder website, don't seem to work for me.
Ask HN: Recommend a short fiction book
I realized I can rarely finish long fiction books, so I started reading only those with less than 200 pages and it's been working great for me. So far I've read:

- The old man and the sea (E. Hemingway)
- The stranger (A. Camus)
- Siddhartha (H. Hesse)

Any recommendations?
I'm from São Paulo and I'm embarrassed about this decision. Brazil's labor laws treat the "workers" as stupid people, unable to negotiate good terms by themselves. It's much better for them to have an intermediary - the government! - to handle this, and then pay 50% of everything that you make in taxes for this wonderful protection. It's ridiculous.
Not only political correctness, but the fascination with erecting cultural walls.
UK's 'chaotic' testing regime 'broke all the rules'
So no advocating for policies, laws or actions anymore?
It's not just like any other though, it already recieves huge tax relief. Not to mention the esitmated worth in 2018 at least was 30 Billion $

> The Internal Revenue Service automatically considers churches exempt. The reasoning behind making churches tax-exempt and unburdened by IRS procedures stems from a First Amendment-based concern to prevent government involvement with religion.

So it's okay not to pay taxes, but it can petition to recieve some. Doesn't add up.
Texas: Consider wearing a mask even when you're in your own home – WOAI
I was thinking before I saw your comment "seems an odd time to IPO" when people mainly talk about the AWS and Digital Ocean of the world. (Supposedly D.O. is IPO'ing next few years)
Am I missing something? This article seems very thin.
As others have said, if an industry can't operate while paying workers fairly/with benefits, then it isn't a profitable industry.

Abolishing slavery certainly nipped the plantation economy in the bud, pretty certain that was a good thing though.
But why is LibreOffice so special? Surely there are thousands of other projects that would also love 1% of the b52 bomber budget.
> A) the programmers that made this mistake probably have the knowledge to pass any certification exam you can throw at them

Very unlikely. You probably don't realize how tough some professional exams are in some fields. We are talking dedicated months of study here.

> B) most of the time we are not just building something that has exploded 1000 times before, we are creating new stuff

Most software out there is just CRUD stuff, not really new stuff...
>> Like, if you give the algorithm that input for free what's the point.

The point, as also explained in the paper, is that even with such information and with a handful of basic operations from which to compose a program, the space of all possible programs is huge and finding a prorgam that does what it should in any reasonable amount of time is extremely difficult.

If you are familiar with the literature of program induction (which includes a lot more than neural program induction and goes back a few decades) you will notice that the hypothesis spaces for program learning are truly vast and it is impossible to make any kind of progress without some kind of "dirty trick" to reduce their size. The common approach is to impose a strong inductive bias on the representation language, so as to guide the search to find a correct program. The approach in the article is no different. And of course "inductive bias" here always means domain knowledge.

But, amicably, if you think there's any better way to do this, many people, myself included, would be very curious to hear what you have to say. In fact, if you could really innovate in this field you'd be guaranteed an illustrious research career. Learning programs from examples is hard.
I administer a few Windows Servers. Unless you're heavily in the MS ecosystem (Azure, AD etc.), or have software that only run on Windows, I can't think of too many advantages that Winserver has from a server management perspective. Maybe the admin GUI?

I understand that even on Microsoft Azure, most of the VMs being hosted are running Linux.

I think the cost should be compared to whatever they pay Microsoft for Office subscriptions for the federal government.
> This is 100% false

That's a bit harsh, the actual disabling does not require a 2FA token so that part at least is true. And this is not the behavior I was expecting. On many other services I use disabling the 2FA requires 2FA confirmation and sometimes just visiting the security settings for the account requires the 2FA (if enabled). So maybe it's just "50% false"...
Taking a selfie requires no preparation. We've all got cameras on our phones, so it's easy enough to do. I'm not really a selfie person, per se, but in the right place and context, I might snap one for posterity.

A tourist walking around with their phone in a selfie stick has put preparation and forethought into the endeavor. Before leaving their hotel to see some wonder of the world, they consciously thought, "I'm going to take a bunch of selfies today so I can post them on social media and gain influence because I'm somebody." This attitude represents everything many people blame for giving rise to the modern overcrowded tourist destination experience.

I'm sure there exceptions, and some people just like pictures with themselves in them, but this is the impression it gives off. You asked why people hate selfie sticks, and this is a likely reason.
>So in effect the government is already funding google docs and office 360.

Government buying services, or software, or anything, isn't really like 'funding', it's paying for services rendered.

>As schools move more and more online they are locking into proprietary office programs that suck funds from schools

And who is to say that LibreOffice is a good alternative. I'll tell you right now, it's not - which why it isn't really being used. It's a pain in the butt to deploy, and support at scale (from identity management, to sharing and collaborating, to security fixes and patches).

>I would prefer the government fund opensource software that anyone who pays taxes can use for free.

Sure. I have a preference for a lot of things too but we live in a democracy, so nobody gets to dictate their preferences. But feel free to engage with your local school board and make your case. Feel free convince your peers to make the case with you.
New Yorker Cartoonist Emily Flake Demonstrates How to Draw a Child
I don't understand why these large companies don't incorporate some type of printable backup code that can be used if your 2FA device is lost/broken. I've incorporated this type of system multiple times in the past, and it works wonderfully.
Yes, but has an open Antifa supporter ever been denied college entrance or attending a conference because of that support? Or lost their job?
I suffer from a genetic disease in my mitochondrial DNA (single, large-scale deletion), so this is great news for me.

I have been closely following mitochondrial research since I was diagnosed 12 years ago, and the progression in our knowledge about mitochondria have been exponential. Truly impressive.

My sincere appreciation for all researchers out there (even though I do not expect an actual cure in the foreseeable future; say, next 15 years)
It's your broswer.

If you have any tech chops you can make it what you want. If.
Just because he wasn't the subject doesn't mean it's okay to make materially false statements about him...

>Also I mean your phrase “uncritical childhood exposure to radical literature” is .... weird.

Well, I'm not qualified to write for the New Yorker, but surely they could have written a sentence that wasn't false.

Maybe you could read a more detailed account on The Atlantic, and decide for yourself how it could be summarized. (Seriously, the "dating market," does not come up even once.)

Most services that use standard TOTP codes have backup codes that you can print out and store in a safe, and the ones that don't you can save the QR code that enrolls the 2FA app and use it again to re-enroll a new device if needed.

Obviously the backup codes are preferred as you're not storing a master key to all future codes, but it's a lot easier to manage than a second device (at least for me).
PWABuilder is an open source project and builds cross platform web apps. We feel Medium is a better fit than the more corporate structured blogs. So far we've been pretty happy with Medium.

That said, we have been mulling building our own blogging platform using our own tools and web components for the sake of dogfooding.
It’s not a monolithic financial institution in the U.S.

I'm not sure how it's wishful thinking to say we don't know something. I wish we did know it, but we don't, in spite of your claims.
That is like a team at Microsoft using Gmail as their email provider.
They do AWS professional services since last year (I think) but we mainly use them for support as AWS doesn't cater for companies our size with their pricing.
Recruiting is a crowded space and for a tool that generates resumes, it must be hard to show the value prop. As a stupid example, even Google Docs and Word have a template for resumes....I bet a LOT of people use that and...done.

I can't believe how hard it is for you to acquire customers, I truly empathize and I am not surprised you only made $10 since April.
I hope you guys make it, it seems like "bulletproof" resumes are a good way forward to help people have a higher chance at job hunting!

P.S. what about cover letters?
I had my mind lightly blown watching someone using Squeak Smalltalk to interactively prototype something or other.

They purposefully called a method which did NOT exist, used the debugger to partially unwind the #doesNotUnderstand stack, implemented the method, which then returned the expected result as if the method had existed all along. Benefits of super late binding I guess.
Samba is pretty decent
What's wrong with CMAK?
Non-competes in Brazil require employees to be paid salary for the duration of the non-compete clause, so doubt that's what Uber would turn to.

> 4. Drivers will have to work a set schedule, set by uber

> 1. Hours will be limited to part time only

This undermines Uber's contractor argument, I also doubt they would do this.
It's not moving the goal posts, you seem to be creating a false dichotomy between:
"support free speech" -> must support lack of reprisals for all free speech, including directed racial slurs
"do not support free speech" -> must accept the current level and form of reprisals.

Where most people who say they support free speech are, is this statement:
"support free speech without reprisals, excluding directed harrassment, with some level of acceptable reprisals in employment and socially, depending on the context, but at a much lower level than is currently the case, with less arbitrary application of mob justice and employer discrimination"

It's not catchy but nor is it inherently contradictory. It's what I imagine JK Rowling, Chomsky et al would say if you spoke to them about their letter.

I really think it would be useful if the anti-free-speech side of the debate stopped with this semantics and straw men about freedom from reprisals, monarchies, directed racism. I think that a person should be free to discuss eg. spaces for trans vs non-trans women and where to draw the line on sports etc, to what level the BLM is a useful movement, the relative weight of cultural vs economic vs discrimination in explaining different outcomes across ethicities and genders, positive discrimination, without being fired, cancelled or becoming unemployable. That's what most free speech people think, and all these semantic points, false definitions and straw men are kind of a waste of time
I understand your point but can't get on board with it.

The main issue I have is that people make organized attempts to cause harm to others as part of the 'canceling' rather than a personal choice. Not wanting to work with me is one thing, trying to convince the whole world not to work with me might cause me to become homeless.

The second issue is that the "reasons" for canceling people are so often petty or outright not true. For example, the people that call Joe Rogan a Nazi or alt-right. Either they know nothing about National Socialism and the alt-right or they know nothing about the person they want to cancel.

And third, canceling people is outright stupid. You don't want people with evil ideas and intentions hiding in the dark and invisible to you. You want their bad ideas as visible as possible so you can avoid them or shine a light on them. Sending everyone with a bad idea to another website only serves to embolden them and gives them a way to say 'see, we really are persecuted!'

And this is completely skipping over the de-banking people. That goes into a whole new level that I think people don't fully appreciate.
It depends on the use-case, but probably no. For most use-cases I can think of (Active Directory), the cost is already negligible for a business.

What use-cases would be attractive for free versions? I can think of one, VMs. But that experience already sucks. Windows images are larger, slower to boot, and harder to automate.

It could be quite useful for CI though. And more CI providers might start offering Windows platforms if it became free.
But it's not you being canceled, it's the comment. The equivalent on HN would require a bunch of people getting mad at a comment you made a year ago, and then downvoting all your future comments so they get buried regardless of their content. While there's probably people who do that, it's not applicable to your average grey comment.
It already did! Sean Connery wore one in one of the bond films.
Do you know what porn today is like? There's so much of it and a lot of it is highly stimulating, full of interesting and unattainable-in-real-life kinks. Maybe you were exposed, but it was not likely as accessible as it is for kids/people now. Unless you have experienced the pit of despair, going through porn addiction, it's easy to think that people are going to survive it fine just like we did.

A lot of people can enjoy a healthy amount of porn and then move on from it because they were able to get a real life partner or something. Many are destroyed by it, because they have no other option and simply go downhill from there.

But it's true, you can't just ban it either. That's definitely what I'm not asking for.
The main problem I see in PWAs these days is that they cannot permanently store data on the device. As soon as the user deletes their "browser data", all the data of the PWAs on the device is lost too.

If PWAs would get their own permanent storage like other apps, it would be a huge step forward.
I get the 'idea'. There are more things to fund then there are funding dollars available ... by many orders of magnitude, so you have to make decisions. One of those decisions is whether or not to pay for a certain numbers of b52 bombers. Another, completely separate decision, is whether to fund a very specific niche open source project. Linking those two is disingenuous. If you want funding for LibreOffice, make the case to your representative. Make the case to others so they make the case to your representative.
There is a project along these lines at Google, which is used to test graphic drivers. The generated code is randomly (but equivalently) transformated, and the result is verified to be the same. If it doesn't match, then there is a bug. Link to the project https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Tools.

Broken record: I get that people are really into tagging and I see how I could, like, instead of writing HN comments or playing Dark Souls, nurture and groom an elegant garden of them for my own 10,000 bookmarks.

But that's not why I use Pinboard. It turns out ("bookmark people" apparently already know this) that a huge collection of bookmarks basically functions as a personal search engine. My primary interface to Pinboard is a "pin:" search engine shortcut.

What makes this so effective for me is that if you have an archive account (you should have an archive account; it's the best money I've spent for a computer thing easily), Pinboard indexes the contents of PDF, so I can instantly search the contents of all the papers I've bookmarked.

I don't even think about what I'm bookmarking, what to tag things, or even what to title them; I just cram 'em all in there and let search figure it out. And it works great. Pinboard is a steal.
You are referring to the article written about the paper, whcih is engaging, at best, in wishful thinking, and at worst, propaganda.

A doubling in the number of deaths associated with "diabetes" is absolutely not consistent with not seeing a doctor for your diabetes for 4 months. It's not like you aren't checking your blood sugar or aren't getting insulin.

No, indeed the only reasonable explanation for the sudden doubling of diabetes related deaths, is that they are actually the result of covid. 35% is not inconsistent with the false negative rates on testing, which is precisely the reason that we are measuring excess deaths as an estimate of the number of people killed by covid.
I don't think anyone here implied shaming doesn't have [potentially negative] consequences.

It's a non-violent tool to shape societal or group norms. If you are in a shitty group (e.g. one that shames education), that doesn't change the argument.
For the newbie Clojurist trying to do web stuff I'd highly recommend Luminus. I don't agree w/every choice the framework makes, but those are minor details compared to the choice paralysis one tends to suffer without some experience.

Clojure is too good to miss out on because of stuff like that.
