Running the browser remotely is one way. I usually abuse archive.is or brow.sh or startpage's anonymous browsing to that affect. Cloudflare bought a startup in the space...let's see what they come up with for the consumers: https://techstartups.com/2020/01/07/cloudflare-buys-remote-b...

May be, NextDNS and others through their in-browser plugin can optionally follow the redirects (remotely) to find if the eventual destination is not blacklisted (but that's too much of an ask since following HTTP redirects is different from DNS CNAMEs).

How does a website control autofill if the password manager extension does it?

Some stupid websites do block paste, but one can use an extension to force enable paste everywhere, which IMHO is required for one's sanity.

I've got this soft spot in my heart for digikey, they've always shipped so quickly and called on the smallest issue and offered to help. When ever they call I always do that "why is someone from Minnesota calling me?" It's interesting how some vendors can build trust easily.

But $5 doesn't feel bad for shipping to get good parts quickly from a company I trust. But your point is taken. Sucks to put a $0.30 temp sesnor and pay $5 to ship it. =)

No, but I have insight into a failure to test and trace. It means we get to herd immunity whether you like it or not.

If they stayed with Intel for a very long time, I agree. But I don't think that would have happened.

Apple pursued custom silicon very aggressively from the start, with the acquisition of PA Semi less than a year after the launch, and the first custom chip coming in the iPad in 2010.

Although with an Intel chip they wouldn't have needed to do this for performance reasons, Intel's fat gross margins would have been equally compelling.

If Intel was willing to design the chips and take TSMC sized margins on them, I guess they could have kept the iPhone business for years, but that isn't in their DNA.

I can't see Intel ARM iPhone chips as anything other than a shortly lived oddity.

I’m dyslexic, you’re right, this is an exaggeration, but it’s almost impossible to simulate the real thing. It’s not like the letters move around the page, it’s that you perceive them to be other letters or words. Then you realize that you read doesn’t make sense and your brain just replaces it with the correct words or letters when you read it again. It kind of makes you aware of the fact that what you see and what is there are two distinct things which are not always the same.
Thoreau's philosophy is an existential one. It is rooted in his ethos. As such, an ad hominem attack is a valid rebut to his system. The man extolled the virtues of living on one's own. On reducing to the essences life by means of a certain self-reliant stoicism. The man did not practice what he preached. Therefore his entire view is bollocks. It's not humble, it's narcissistic meanderings.

Oh, I am sure there are people working on it.

But I think you may be onto something. Tesla is setting a bad example for other car makers. They can point to it and say, why can they do it and we can't?

Brief jump into the future. I get to see my new BMW default skin package expire and car turn dull grey, lights losing its exclusive green sheen, and warmed leather seats fold in to be replaced by, the horror, standard seats with warmers firmly shut off. They may as well brand me cheap.

Here is a big problem. The children need to go somewhere. Parents need to work, bills need to be paid and tax incomes need to continue to flow. So what to do with the kids?

Right now, the options are either send them to school, where there are (in the US) government employees making sure they are safe. The workers are well represented by a strong union, have good healthcare and reasonable wages. The other option is to send them to private day care, where private citizens with no oversight, very low pay and no worker protections are being asked to shoulder the risk. It seems like we have no problem hoisting even more responsibility upon the poor and least represented in society.

Teaches are essential workers, much like firefighters, DMV workers or court clerks. We expect a girl making minimum wage at Kroger to accept that she is an essential worker. Why do we not expect the same from school staff?

Disclosure: I have siblings and other close relatives that work for and in school in the US. I am not externalizing the risk.

Under the law, your taxes do not guarantee you any law enforcement or protection by the government.

This is a common misconception that people hold.
They did mention his death, they just didn't mention it was CHOP security that murdered him, or the video evidence of the execution ("Oh you're still alive?" followed by a gunshot), or the fact that he was black (ironically making CHOP the greatest per-capita rate of police killings of unarmed black people). They did however mention the very incredulous rumor that the murdered teen and his friend were shooting, which there is no evidence for and a lot of evidence against.

Honestly, it's weird that an article criticizing the CHOP security debacle would decide to leave out pertinent details that help bolster the critique.

As a side note, there is both/r/seattle and /r/seattlewa. Both of them are seeing heavy traffic from out-of-towners right now, but the general divide is /r/seattle is the left-leaning one and /r/seattlewa is the right-leaning one (at least within the context of Seattle).
They should do some kind of username filtering though. It's much easier because everything is in English, so a blacklist of words could do the job. I found several offensive username and names within few minutes of browsing the site.
You assume that they'd support embedding even though they say their MO is to be text-only? I could see them just resisting support for that, and the type of content adapting accordingly

You realize there's video of the incident at hand, right [1] (not safe for the squeamish)? You can see the driver drive by multiple obvious vehicles on the shoulder of the highway, then swerve into protesters. They weren't 'everywhere' as you claim, he literally drive right into them. He didn't 'do his best to miss them' by swerving into them. Anyone else in that exact situation would've seen the vehicles like that from a mile away and slowed down safely.

This is before we even start talking about that the highway was closed and that he had to take an off-ramp onto it and then do a u-turn, which was corroborated by the police. Though I have a feeling you won't respond again after this.

I mean, the entire article is basically documentation of that research.

This isn't a peer-reviewed piece of work, it's a writeup of someone's fairly exhaustive research into a problem they encountered.

I don't see why you'd need confirmation from another person that something you bought doesn't do what it's part number claims it should.
Short immunity, assuming this is a general case and that this is a real reinfection, wouldn't also affect vaccination, which is mentioned as a solution? This article is contradictory.

Didn't anti-vaxers exist before facebook?

There are areas now facebook and google doesn't service like hacking/cracking sites but those sites still exist.

> There is one other use case for identity, and yes, it is decentralized and bottom-up, because it is about dividing into secure, self-sovereign affinity groups, and the reasons for doing that are on a very short list of uses. Super fun, but basically a weapon.

A weapon against who? A self sovereign affinity group could just be a community trying to self organize without relying on non-owned infrastructure. Aka prepper stuff.
I think this signifies that the management has failed the company. Taking safe bets instead of taking risks. There is no reason Intel shouldn’t have embraced both architectures. They had to know x86 is never going to be a low power device. Apple wasn’t the only company that saw mobile coming.
It also makes building high-performance open source software challenging. Intel or AMD? If Intel, is the MKL library installed? The support matrix grows a bit out of hand.
I'm surprised that up until now I've never seen someone on HN comment about following artists on Twitter. This is all I ever use Twitter for, never tweet myself, and unfollow people who only make passing statements that can be made up in a few seconds. My feed is almost entirely filled with people who use Twitter as something like Deviantart or Pixiv to upload original artwork and only use the character count for writing a description or title, or sometimes nothing at all and only posting artwork to speak for itself. This is entirely separate from some people's impression of Twitter as a breeding ground for arguments. People don't really argue as much in this specific subset of Twitter for some reason.

If Twitter went away then that specific platform would also go away. True, it's sad that said platform is also a hub of tribes and divisive arguments and design patterns that support mindless retweeting, but that's just how social media that needs to keep expanding its audience is designed. If an audience wanting to be a part of that culture by giving in to those patterns without slowing down to analyze the ulterior motives of social media companies like HN commenters often do motivates artists and creators to bring their work there, as they now have a sizeable audience, then I can't really complain or force them to move elsewhere. That would just be exacerbating the same issue of being divisive. I can't force these people off Twitter just because most of Twitter personally bothers me.

Yet, that still isn't enough to prevent the occasional content creator from retweeting something from a different handle that shows up on your timeline, and that specific retweet has nothing to do with the content you want to see and delves into divisive or political territory. But you also receive value from the person who retweeted it through their art. It just goes to show that separating these things is a human issue with no easy solution, and it's tempting to get frustrated at the status quo.

> … because the cutoff is 22khz…

That’s the Nyquist frequency. The cutoff is wherever you like, but typically at 20kHz.

> …higher frequencies are normalized down around 20-22khz, blending them with those higher frequencies and distorting and changing them slightly.

Can you explain what you mean by “normalized down”? It sounds like you are describing some kind of processing done to music, something I have never heard of before, something different from aliasing.

I want to assume that you’re commenting in good faith, but are you just rewording the original comment? I don’t think the original comment makes sense, and rewording it isn’t going to change anything.

> I may be wrong but as far as I know, this is because those higher frequencies are still picked up and interpreted by us whether we actually hear them or not.

This is wrong, or at least wishful thinking—under ordinary listening conditions with typical program material, you simply can’t tell the difference between music which has those frequencies and music which doesn’t. That what experiments are testing when they test if you can “hear” something.

> Personally, i've never really noticed the difference between 44.1kHz and 48kHz, but I do notice the difference between listening to audio on headphones with different cutoffs.

Different headphones sound different, this is a known fact. There are simply too many differences between different headphones to draw conclusions here.

When I’m making music, I try to listen to it on several headphones before I release it. Each set of headphones I have imparts a unique sound on the music. Same thing applies to loudspeakers.

You're right if we were speaking normal English, but "assuming" doesn't mean the same thing in math jargon. In math, you would say, "Assuming A, then B", to mean, "If A is true, then B is true."

It's way more confusing than simply "If A, then B", and I'm not sure why the wording hasn't fallen out of favor, but that's what it is.

We don't know this. We would need full contact tracing and much faster testing to know this. Plus, we now know antibodies may _not_ be the biggest contributor to the immune response. It seems T-Cells are in some cases able to fight the disease without ever mounting an antibody response Thus no antibodies.

The teachers don't expect the same, because they are still getting paid.

I'm not saying they don't have legitimate questions about how schools will reopen safely, but to be frank, it's really easy to argue that it's "just not safe enough", when you're still pulling a paycheck sitting at home and the closing of schools is felt by working parents who are SOL -- not by yourself.

It's hard not to think there's also a "we'll take our ball and go home" attitude going on here. People call to reign in the police, so instead of learning to de-escalate the situation they throw their hands up, stop policing an area altogether, and say "see what happens when we don't get to do things our way?"
Maybe the issue lies more in your first statement that children need to go somewhere. That's a fairly modern notion. If we've created a society where we rely on strangers to care for our kids, then maybe that's something that needs to be looked rather than creating additional covid hotspots?

While we're doing that, maybe a compromise with A/B school days to limit student numbers, with online participation for whichever group is at home. Schools also need to create strict rules as far as cafeterias, masks, etc... With clear consequences for violations.

The school I am at has dividers in the cafeteria and staggered lunches with no talking while eating. Masks at all times. Temperature checks at the doors and such. This is countrywide (not US) and there has been no spread in schools.
While desktops specifically are seeing declining sales, laptop sales have remained fairly strong in recent years. Intel still powers the lion's share of laptops sold be they Chromebooks, MacBooks, or Windows laptops. So it's not like their sales are instantly going to dry up. ARM is also still making progress in the server space but it's not predominant. Intel is still powering a lion's share of server hardware as well.

So Intel's got the income to make big shifts. There's also enough momentum of continuing x86 sales that their revenue from them won't dry up immediately if they did start building ARM chips.

I did watch the video. I know the guy was likely speeding, and I don't know how he got onto the road.

He swerved to miss the car on the road, lost control and hit two people. That's what I'm seeing in that video.

Letters don't just abruptly appear to change to another valid letter. I like to describe it as each letter oscillating in and out of different letter eigenstates, appearing to smoothly interpolate between various letters. Once you look directly at a letter, you collapse the letter to the correct state.

The letters are like 98% in the correct state, but contain small components of other letters, giving a breathing/morphing effect like what you would see on shrooms.

The problem with this kind of framing is that it accepts the status quo as a sane premise in the face of a pandemic with largely unknown long term consequences.

Having public schools function as de facto daycares when there’s not a pandemic makes a certain amount of sense, but in the circumstances of the US, where we have uncontrolled spread and a dysfunctional healthcare system on many levels, it makes little.

The sane thing to do would be to implement some form of short term UBI that allows one parent or a designated caregiver to stay home and attend to children’s needs and do everything we can to get the situation under control (universal mask orders, regional lockdowns, replenish PPE, etc.)
I’ve read there’s some financial scheme that you get >100% kickbacks for untracked packets from China through Singapore to destinations. Certain mail containers are going at regular intervals carrying much as possible by volume, paid by governments as investments to build nations might, or something like that.

So sellers pay for shipping, which is cheap, then gets subsidy, then there’s delay between Buy Now and actual transfers and financing to compensate it, those supposedly all add up and turn profits.

Digi-Key on the other hand probably has employee pension plans and that would be as far they go in terms of global financial investment techniques, so...

Interesting how different two people can come to two completely polar conclusions. I guess it depends on your social bubble, on either side.

In my experience, the right was very opposed to NAFTA (while the left was pushing it), in favor of free trade but not at the expense of jobs and manufacturing ability in the USA, and thought all these deals with China were going to enrich a possibly future adversary.
By experience, I simply mean social interaction with middle class conservatives/Republicans, not experience in politics or "the party". And, I didn't really start paying attention to what was going on until the early 90s. (edited for a paragraph break)

Question.

In https://github.com/facebook/facebook-ios-sdk/issues/1427#iss..., someone mentions that

disables auto init. Couldn't this potentially eliminate all FBSDK-related startup/non-interactively-caused crashes?

We know that some process has caused deaths to drop to near-zero in the places that were disaster zones at the beginning of April, even though they're no longer shut down and haven't entirely eliminated the virus. It's hard to imagine what that process could be if not immunity.

(Of course, since I'm sure I'll be called on this, the fact that herd immunity is possible does not by itself prove it's a wise course of action.)
