False negative rate maybe?

In general, titers of the virus in NP swabs should be high enough to withstand 10, maybe 20-plex pooling. However, as you allude to, there are plenty of other effects that can influence PCR. If there is one sample, for example, that contains a PCR inhibitor, like heme, it may then inhibit all the samples it is pooled with.

Additionally, swabs are not just swabs of virus, they also pull of highly variant amounts of bacteria and human material. These things may also affect the efficiency of PCR.
> Is there a HN approved way of doing this?

Yes. Not using Windows to begin with.
Achieving Strong AI makes no sense because we don't understand the human brain and how it works. Even if a non-biological AGI passes the hardest imaginable Turing test, there will be arguments against it because "it is still not like us".
If there was a way to visualise everything that's loaded in the repl, it would be great. As in, let me easily & visually explore the world of the repl right now.

Ditto with other langs, I just started with Spring Boot & Kotlin & geez, Spring annotations are poison chalice material. Googling how to debug spring leads you to 'just turn on debug logs' which dont tell you 1/1000 of what you'd need to know to debug annotation issues.
Debatable. If you lose your second device but still have access to a logged account you want to be able to disable 2FA.
Wait, the time cost of asking for a refund or the time cost of trying out a service you ended up not using? The former seems trifling, and the latter applies even if there was a free trial.
Show HN: Deets.co – A Personal about Page
there is no point of having a circle of trust in that case. i do the 2FA for my son but then son loses authentication - that should mean i can get access

if you want zero grade authentication use one of the 8 one time use codes you get in authenticator instead.
Hey! I thought I’d show you deets.co - it’s a new personal about page platform that I’ve been creating over the past month. It’s been created of the back of finding the alternatives in this space a little cumbersome to deal with. I’m sure there is stuff I’m getting wrong but hopefully over time can continue to refine it.

One of the things that aggitated me about the likes of about.me was the fact everything had to be defined beforehand. You want to add a quote then you got to go to the (paid) quote blocks - this feels clunky and for me personally it restricted my writing flow. I personally find writing about myself hard enough without the blocks along the way. With Deets it’s a visual editor when you type and paste in media as you see fit.

Also critically importantly to me is the fact a lot of about page hosting platforms seem to to forget that when it comes to an about page it should be focused on the person it’s talking about. A lot of them plaster big navigation menus or “sign up here” buttons on the page and I think that visually distracts.

It’s also priced fairly (well free at the moment). From my previous startups I’ve always found the first few months should be focused on building up a great free product and then listening to the feedback from users about what they’d then pay for.

Adding more features daily!

Thanks guys

It's very much usable for everyone that ignores telemetry and bloat, which is most people. Telemetry gathered likely makes the experience better for people.

They do?

That's a completely orthogonal problem. Regardless of whether downvotes are being "correctly", the "cancel" aspect is still there.
Our sensorium could be indistinguishable from how it'd be in a simulation without impacting my point. Software can hop from host to host (all Turing machines can simulate each other) but living intelligence is embodied.

Because of this, no matter how "smart" computers get, we can't trust them not to do stupid stuff. They are smart like that kid in high school who comes up with a formula to turn the world into silly putty, and is stupid enough to use it. There is more than one kind of intelligence, here the argument is that some kinds of intelligence require having skin in the game.

Not quite what you are asking for, but there is a great tool called Kickstand (www.kickstandsystems.com)that is in use in a number of districts that allows curriculum to be aligned with standards and organized in a defined scope and sequence. At the core of the systems is a big standards aligned curriculum library. The system will deliver content to a student and then assess them on that content. Based on the result of the assessment the system can deliver new resources for remediation or allow the student to move ahead at their own pace. Content is managed by the district and allows content ratings by students and instructors. This is really where learning technology needs to go to enable individualized instruction in online settings at scale. Full disclosure: I wrote the first version of the Kickstand product about 5-6 yrs ago
Corruption in politics too. Of course, that's a larger issue. We need to get big money out of politics. Most other democracies do not allow the same level of campaign donations (especially mysterious ones like Super PACs). Also, lobbying as we know it has to end. There's no room for organizations to have that level of impact on actual laws. Politics should be like military service -- you do it to serve your fellow countrymen, not to get rich. If the law isn't for the benefit of the people, it shouldn't be written.
You apparently know which one it was, and can look up the response. It isn't a very long response either.

I'm not going to quote it here, because it gives you a chance to talk about it at me rather than with the original person who brought up the counterpoint.
Edit: I should also add, that my examples are very personal and anecdotal and only crudely illustrative. I don't mean to imply that 'Rugby Players' are 'great leaders' or that 'Leaders must have a team sports background' - not in the least. It's just something that I, a non-athlete who came to such things later in life wherein I was way more introspective about it than your average 19 year old, picked up some perspective from being embedded with these groups. It's highly personalised, but I would hope there's enough common ground among us for people to grasp the connotation.

>>> I'd make mention of the fact they likely think the English can be British, but they also probably imagine that a good Englishman can eat pork and beef!

> "Pork" and "beef" come from Norman French, "Norman" from the fact they were originally Vikings and French from the fact they settled in Normandy before expanding their holdings in 1066. Again, proof that modern Great Britain is a land of immigrants, strivers, and hopefuls from across the water, going back to time immemorial.

That's not how I initially interpreted that at all. I had figured "can eat pork and beef" was most likely referring to Hindu and Jewish/Muslim dietary prohibitions.
Is it merely coincidental that the sites where you're most likely to find pornographic advertisements happen to be websites for pirating media? Which aspect of these websites are politicians truly clutching their pearls over? The part about morality and kids, or the part about media corporations and money?

To the cynic in me, the answer is obvious.
Mach 4, UCCNC, LinuxCNC - pretty much any machine control software is crap UI, but it works and we live with it.
The idea that critical theory is the Frankfurt School's attempt to modify culture to be more receptive to socialism, based on spilled spaghetti from Frankfurt School philosophers themselves, is just a ridiculous right-wing conspiracy theory rooted in Nazi propaganda.

The idea that everyday language is a secret code, designed not to illuminate truth or communicate thought, but to dominate and oppress and to reinforce existing power structures, and to which only critical theorists have the secret decoder ring, is something we all should ttly take srsly u guyzzz.
Compiled doesn't have to mean batch compiled. Most modern Common Lisp systems are compiled, but you can compile smaller units (down to individual functions).

The problem with the way we're taught (or I was taught, circa 2000), was that it was still in the batch-oriented mode: "Gather all your source files, and run them all through the compiler together." "But I only changed one thing." "That's fine, `make` will do the right thing for you." "But I also have to close the program." "Well, yeah, there are ways around that but we won't teach you, maybe your future coworkers or employers will."
This is the traffic I got following the HN post:

The Unix CLI is most definitely a REPL. But it is a system-level REPL. So instead of running functions you run programs. You can't interactively develop a program in the UNIX CLI. Especially not in Python, JS, Ruby, etc. You can try to establish a REPL like flow in the CLI, by using a watcher like entr and doing something like $ cat test-input.txt | python ./my-script.py but the granularity of this approach is too coarse for the programming _language_. It is the ideal granularity for orchestrating shell scripts and CLI programs.
That's a beautiful site. What is using ActivityPub for?
I also do not see them being the kind of sites to comply with something like this.
Good! I walked into a lake with my phone and Google Fi couldn't send me a new one for a week. Luckily I had a valid session that I could still use to disable 2fa, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to work for a week.
How much of Rackspace is even left? Is this just a cash grab by the company that took them private?

> As of March 31, 2020, we had $3,987.5 million face value of outstanding indebtedness

It's always a mystery to me how some firm can buy a company, and then push the debt from acquiring the company onto the company itself.

This is just vampire capitalism. Unfortunately, it makes no difference if individual investors here choose to invest, "index funds" will use everyone's retirement savings to funnel more cash to these parasites.

Yes but every network in existence does it and is forced into that paradigm. Every premium channel on cable (HBO/Showtime/Starz etc) have had to have a new breakout hit pretty much every year with a pretty small slate of new content - and Quibi has been able to combine this with some formats that actually should work (News, short form comedy etc).
I interview tons of candidates at a FAANG company, and I can tell you for sure binary search is way too hard to get right on a whiteboard. Even in a proper coding environment I wouldn't ask it. There are lots of better questions with fewer sharp edges.
There's often a confusion between this. Disrespecting and disagreeing is not canceling.

downvote = disagree

flag = attempt to cancel

Which there are good reasons to flag: trolling, breaking rules, doxing, etc. Does flagging also get abused? Yes! The same is with "cancel culture." Do we boo people off stage that say stupid stuff? Yes. Do people try to prevent trolls from speaking at a school? Also yes, who needs someone intentionally antagonizing others? Do people abuse it? Yes. Do we also feature the abuse more than the good? Yes. In fact, your brain is also hard wired to remember those better too. But it is also important to remember that flagging is a form of speech too. You have the right to disagree. You have the right to say "this is inappropriate." But that doesn't mean you are right or that the person you are disagreeing with or flagging doesn't also have the right to say those things. I.E. you have the right to say racist and xenophobic things on Hacker News. Dang has the right to remove your comment too, because that is what we've agreed to here. If you disagree, well there are other communities with different rules. So you can work to get them changed here or go to a different community. (Please don't try to get racism allowed here)

Ask HN: Which USB3 sticks support SuperSpeed on the Rasberry 4?
Having read this thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23741640 and owning a RPi 4, I bought a SanDisk USB3 64GB Ultra Flair stick (VID:PID -> 0781:5591) only to discover that it's using the usb_storage driver and not uas driver, i.e. not using SuperSpeed.

Is there a list of USB3 sticks that work at SuperSpeed with the Raspberry 4?

I also found the quirks list (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/usb/storage/unusual_uas.h?h=v5.8-rc4) but there is no entry for the SanDisk stick.
They probably don't sell the smaller plans. One of our clients has been trying to move away from rackspace and we looked into what she was paying for. Holy smokes. She is paying almost $1200/Month for a server that I can get from DigitalOcean, AWS or even a dedicated server provider for about $200/Month. Not kidding. Seriously overpriced and they lock in clients with multi year contracts. Beauty is that the so called "managed services" doesn't even patch the servers or update the libraries. Client could not even install letsencrypt SSL since the "server is not up to date" while she pays $1200/Month.

Good for them but I am not buying that stock :)
If your target audience is other startups, then it is absolutely worth it.

But if its not, you shouldn't bother at all. Focus on creating content that solves core pain points for your target customers.

One of my coworker's children died of a mtDNA mutation he was born with at three years old. My coworker never really got completely over the loss. They knew pretty early on what the prognosis was, but spent those three years giving the kid the best life they could.

I'm super excited to see work that might give this whole class of children a long life at some point in the future. Just a few years ago (pre CRISPR), it was just accepted as a shitty thing we couldn't do anything about.
What threat model concerns you here? Anybody who'd be able to disable 2FA already has access to my logged in Google session on a trusted device. The game is over.
AD is really powerful, but as someone who accidentially slided into Windows administration in his job, I find the windows Admin tools lacking the most elementary features I assumed they would have:

* Quickly get a shell on a remote machine, like I'm sitting in front of it? Powershell is nice but it's remoting model is different. You can't easily manage Windows updates for example over Powershell, it just behaves differently.
* I assumed there would be something like Win98 "network neighbourhood" on steroids. Give me a list of all computers in my domain, or all computers in a group, or all computers certain users are on. AD only tells you which ones are joined, you cannot browse which ones are actually running.
* Some GUI where you can ping a computer, find out which user is logged in, which software is installed, and which updates are missing.

You can find nice third party tools for all of this, or spend a lot of time writing scripts, but the basics are lacking. And the offerings from MS (WSUS, SCCM, ...) are powerful, but so far would cost us more time than they save, so I'm not really happy with the Windows ecosystem...
I'm on record saying heterodox things about the Nyquist theorem and SACD 1-bit DAC, so you are on topic. :)
The parent comment explicitly made it about gender. They explicitly said they had a man they liked but couldn't hire him because of HR.
Any article making such a claim need to start with explaining what evidence they have that human brains are not computing devices that can be replicated or simulated.

Because absent evidence that there is something fundamental preventing us from one day copying the structure of a human brain and ending up with a working device, whatever claims they make are hand-waving.
Getting someone fired causes them real harm. It's not at all out of the question that this harm could escalate to the point of imprisoning people or even killing them. The motive seems pretty similar to me. Don't forget that the ideologically motivated killings and imprisonments of the past were all justified using the same sort of arguments that you're making here, and the pattern of public denunciation is unmistakably similar. The arguments you've been making in this thread ("Speech that oppresses minorities deny their fundamental right to exist. Wouldn't you fight back if someone wanted to take away your life?") could justify action way beyond firing. If these arguments are valid, what wouldn't you have the right to do? If the harms being caused to date are "only" limited to firing, that's not because the denouncers are restraining themselves. It's because the protections of liberal society prevent them from doing worse. It's easy to imagine those protections getting diluted further, and easy to imagine worse harms than firing getting inflicted on people as a result. So I don't think this "what do they have to complain about" response is really valid.
Thank you for this incredibly detailed answer. I too am an SPA guy, specifically because I like the clean separation between data and presentation they allow, which HTML simply doesn't.

Oh? Please elaborate. I always assumed Active Directory = Windows.
Developers are allergic to feeling like they're being marketed to, as GP comment proves. That doesn't mean it's a bad marketing direction, just that more specificity is needed.

If it really is just "my bff from high school that works at a FANG installed my software on their own personal time on their on personal laptop", then yeah, get rid of it.

But somewhere between one person at a FANG using the software professionally, and everyone at said FANG using the software (eg an HR ERP system like Workday), is an individual's personal threshold for what "used by a FANG" means to them. As long as it's reworded to be represented honestly then I'd keep it. FANGs are the gold standard for a reason, and the social proof gained by having your software used there is valuable to the segment of the population that gives it value. (The intersection of "the segment of the population that gives it value" and your target market, may (or may not) be an empty set, however.)
The 50% is calculated from all benefits (vacations, etc). For a large company and hourly wages, it can go up until 95%.

Keeping the user logged in is not the issue. A PWA can inject a unique ID into the installation in various ways.

The problem is the data. Imagine a text editor where all your text documents are gone after you cleared the data of a different app, the browser.

I wrote a fitness app as a PWA some time ago and its pretty annoying to download all the instruction videos again every time you clear your "browser data". Plus all infos about which exercises you did and when is gone for good of course.
Vine videos are thirty seconds, not 10 minutes. It's an entirely different proposition.
> Society has always, always had social norms which entailed consequences if countered. And often times in the past, the norms were strict and dissent was punished by jail, torture, or death.

> Today, we've much improved. If you express an opinion that is contrary to the norms, you get made fun or or ostracized by the community, you don't get killed.

"Things are better now than they were at some point in the past" does not mean that we should stop trying to improve, since things have already improved by a nonzero amount. If I said "Deaths due to infectious disease now are much lower than they were 100 years ago and therefore we shouldn't worry about infectious disease now", my faulty logic would immediately be spotted and called out.

The general environment for free speech is much better today than it was in years past. There are, however, specific worrying trends now that did not exist in the past, and I think people are right to point them out. I'm not a huge fan of the term "cancel culture", because it implies a lot more intentional group behavior than I think happens, but the term does point to a real phenomenon where certain controversial speech gets amplified to absurd degrees, and a very small fraction of the people who see it and disagree with it try to cause disproportionate harm to the speaker (e.g. lying to their employer to try to get them fired, calling in false reports to try to get a highly armed SWAT team sent to their place of residence, sending death threats, etc.).

Complaints about "cancel culture" are not so much about people complaining about not being heard as people complaining about having something they said taken out of context and amplified to millions of people, and the consequences of the consequent rage of millions and actions of the most extreme dozens of people out of those millions.

Losing your job and getting death threats is an improvement over being jailed, tortured, or killed, but it's still not ideal, and we're still allowed to want better.
