Can you say more about the insights from Steve Blank and Clayton Christensen that are missing here?
Please be aware that presently the American federal government seems to be systematically arresting some protesters without doing any paperwork (and therefore no public record, except for the testimony and video of victims and witnesses.)

Here is a HN discussion about it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23866926 | https://www.opb.org/news/article/federal-law-enforcement-unm...

> Pettibone said he was put into a cell. Soon after, two officers came in to read him his Miranda rights. They didn’t tell him why he was being arrested. He said they asked him if he wanted to waive his rights and answer some questions, but Pettibone declined and said he wanted a lawyer. The interview was terminated, and about 90 minutes later he was released. He said he did not receive any paperwork, citation or record of his arrest. [...] In a statement, the U.S. Marshals Service declined to comment on the practice of using unmarked vehicles, but said their officers had not arrested Pettibone. “All United States Marshals Service arrestees have public records of arrest documenting their charges. Our agency did not arrest or detain Mark James Pettibone.”

There are also a few videos confirming at least some of those details; namely camouflaged men, faces covered, pulling protesters into unmarked vehicles. In one of the videos, the men with guns tell other protesters that they'll be shot if they try to follow the unmarked vehicle. The local PD claimed they didn't arrest anybody.

We can! That's my point: we can build these computational silicon nanoparticles (the lab I worked at was doing this in this right at the turn of the century). It just looks different than tiny little robots: just the way the propulsion system of a jet looks nothing like the flapping of wings.
I do think requiring a specific 3rd party subscription is silly and over the top. I was generally defending the broad idea of drone regulations which I've seen a lot of reflexive push back to.

And ADS-B style is probably the best and easiest option. It can be an easy add on to existing quads and probably done pretty cheaply. Places with airspace concerns can easily setup a base station to listen to their local area.

> Every single incident involving a drone has involved the concern of violation of someone's privacy or violation of an airspace, and even in those incidents there has been a lot of hysteria involved in the media response

They haven't yet (at least in a mass event, several have fallen on crowds etc) but violations of airspace, especially around airports, don't have to actually cause injury because the threat of an airliner engine eating one somewhere between their commit speed and their rudder authority speed or any time really during take off and landing requires airports be extremely cautious about drone sightings.
They're inconsistent. On Firefox Android you can't play in the background using the mobile site but if you switch to the desktop site all of a sudden background play starts working.
But the important other factor is government debt.

Australia's national debt is less than 1/2 of the US's in terms of % of GDP. (US has basically 100% of its annual GDP in debt). Australia has a lot more room to consider big projects as a result.

My mother briefly taught middle schoolers as a side job to her cleaning business she was running. One year in, she decided the money and the admin politics and low-key racism was not worth the stress. She is black and was working in a very rural white area. She made a lot more money pushing a mop than teaching.
Yup. In fact, when I saw one of those conspiracy "Covid is a lie" memes that used "flu cases are down!" as a talking point, I quite literally didn't get it for a minute. I thought to myself, "Of course flu cases are down when everyone's sheltering at home in March and April, what's their point?" It took me a very long time to realize that they were pushing the conspiracy theory that flu infections were being intentionally miscategorized as covid infections.

Yes, you did imply that you'd be able to copy the content how you like, when you said,

"It's my own right to save those packets(without re-distributing) them and watch them in any form I like."

YouTube lets you rent movies for 48 hours.

You download a movie. You then claimed you can watch the movie in any form you like. Such as, later than the 48 hours.

One of the ways I avoid the endless tone-debate is put numbers in context with other numbers.

Here is a graph of a range of different models the IPCC used in their Special Report on 1.5C in 2018:
https://www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/sites/2/2019/02/SPM3...

So if you line up the graph in the OP on the left side of your screen/minds-eye and the graph from the IPCC on the right side, you get a feel for the dramatic swing in the second derivative that is necessary going forward.

Note that these models assume we develop massive negative emissions technology in the mid and late century. That is to say, those are already assumed, so you cant use "we'll just develop negative emissions technology" as a counterpoint to the necessary amount of change in the immediate term.

If you are at all skeptical of that technological development, then take a few hundred gigatons off the budget.
- We cracked the encoding on the artifact

- What did you find? What was in the vault?

- We think it's... code. Software code. Early 21st century.

- Code from the early web? This could be historic! What's in there? The google algorithm? The code for the iphone?

- Not that we've found

- Twitter? Does it have Twitter? Imagine if we found the code that contains the bug that caused world war three!

- No

- Then what is in there?

- Just... tools, mainly. Manual tools from when people used to write software by hand.

- Really? Why do you think they archived those?

- I don't know. Maybe they thought they were clever?

- Maybe it's not actually an archive. Maybe it's just a garbage dump.

- You think everything we dig up is a garbage dump.

- It usually is!

- True. But look, we did find one artifact that's interesting. It's called 'react'. It appears to be an object of veneration. A lot of other things reference it.

- Are you saying this may have served some sort of ritual purpose?

- It's possible....
Transaction costs--both financial and effort. For most people, moving is a lot of work as well as a direct cost. You're also trading a known entity for an uncertain future. Of course, if you want to move out of your current house anyway, that's a different story.

I’d prefer ads that are not relevant to me because the chance of them manipulating me psychologically into doing something I wouldn’t rationally do is lower.

Advertising is the new smoking. We do not fully understand the damage it does to society and our planet, but it is huge.

Atmospheric CO2 sticks around for a long time. Cutting emissions slows warming, but doesn’t decrease temperatures.

You might be thinking of Methane which does break down reasonably quickly.
I absolutely love NewPipe but I do think that it progresses very slowly and that might be why it is often ignored for the other popular pip youtube client, youtube vanced.

Maybe it is just the rate at which binaries get released... For example, it has had comments support for some time now but only for top level comments. However, iirc the pull request that introduced this also had an example implementation of fully working comment support. So why is this not yet implemented?

Ask HN: Looking for resources or people who've implemented Bezos' API Mandate
The API mandate was something Bezos institute in the early days of Amazon to force all small teams to be more collaborative in a predictable way (see https://www.cio.com/article/3218667/have-you-had-your-bezos-moment-what-you-can-learn-from-amazon.html).

I love the idea but am curious how it falls apart in practice or how people have actually implemented it in non-technical teams.

If you have resources or if YOU have seen this in action, I'd love to interview you for a blog post or essay!
It really is.

And when you are looking to solve a problem, particularly one in an area you are not an expert in, it’s just so good. Niche subs have a wealth of information, help and offers of direct messaging to help solve problems. When you hit a helpful sub it’s infectious too, and you find yourself passing on the support you received when you see someone struggling.

I used to live in Stack Overflow for help, but the closed and shut down questions just kills things. ‘Duplicate of...,’ ‘Off-topic,’ ‘Needs details or clarity,’ ‘Needs more focus,’ or ‘Opinion-based‘. I wasn’t even postings, as I was sure that the septic tone would become focused on me.
I agree with basically everything you've said. I'd add: the system is such that mutual funds are able to make greater profits from the system by playing things in this way. This means that over the long-term, capital accumulates in these funds, further skewing the proportion of investment that is driven through these vehicles.
The funny thing is that web apps were preferred by Apple on iOS pre-App store for this reason. Probably, security was the main driver for pushing web.

I don't know what made Apple switch gears so hard and focus on promoting native. It could be they just wanted that App Store revenue and 30% cut, as well as in-app purchase revenue.

It could also be Apple was interested in promoting apps that only work on iOS, or work best on iOS.

I do think they made the wrong choice for the user's benefit however.

Google is willfully sending the data. If they want stricter access controls it's their job to implement them. TOS isn't a binding contract since one side never gets a chance to negotiate terms.
Even the 'best traits of canine personality'... aren't even true in a general sense. That's more of a human conception of the end result of natural tendencies, training, anthropomorphism, and how dogs are portrayed in the media.

> Dogs are loyal and eager to please...

I foster, train, and board dogs. Trust me when I say this idea that dogs are 'loyal and eager to please' is very specific to certain breeds (e.g. Goldens). Most breeds only become 'loyal and eager to please' if their owner is clearly in charge. I generally foster huskies. They've all been either from a puppy mill or have been feral (so in either case they have no real human interaction before I get them) and they don't really have any interest in what I want at all until they've been with me and trained for awhile.

> they don't dwell on the past...

Dogs don't not dwell on the past, either. They're more or less completely unaware of it. However they experienced an event doesn't become a memory that they later recall. However they interpreted those events at the time had its influence on their future behavior and they can never go back and re-examine that event. They do have a sense of time, but it's not like ours. It's based on smell. "That girl dog I like was here, but the scent has faded, so she was here, but she's not now."

> I'm honestly curious as to what mechanism could exist on a mask that could filter air in one direction only

You could have a mask that formed a tighter seal with internal underpressure, but moves slightly away from the face allowing exhalation to escape with overpressure.

Obviously, you wouldn't want that in a surgical mask, but it pretty easy to do. There are more complex variants you could do where the difference in operation is driven by the direction of pressure differential.
The article said the suspect had worked since he was 16, for the victim. So that would be 5 years of tenure.
I also don't like how they detail every sex crime a sexual assault. It's very confusing to know xx needs 50k for bail and yy needs 2k both for sexual assault which ranges greatly from groping to rape.
> We can't go back to March and convince everyone to do a better job of shelter in place.

Apparently it's impossible to convince Americans to do a better job of anything. So "moving forward from here" is going to be just as incompetent and half-assed as shelter in place was. Apparently no one in power has learned a thing, hence this article.

That shone a light on a browser habit I've started to do. If I see an article I want to read, I generally don't bother reading it like a normal human:

1) reading the bullet list of TLDR points at the top and becz I'm sooo buzy with stuff to do, hit the back button.

2) reading the whole article trying to get past all the drivel to get to the 'good stuff'.

No.. I immediately skip at least 2-4 paragraphs and start doing a search for words that are in my just created inverted-index of the title. Yeah... I've turned into a mini-google borg subnode processing unit :/

There's probably a range near you, that will let you rent guns, I strongly recommend trying before buying. Also, get an instructor.

As far as buying goes: here you go https://www.budsgunshop.com/search.php/type/Handguns After a background check, they'll deliver to a local FFL, and you'll pick it up from there. If your in CA or a similarly abusive state, that might not work and you'll probably have to buy locally which might be out of stock right now.
Berlin might be a wrong example for Germany, and a lot of expats complain about the cold shoulders they get in Berliner supermarkts. Berlin is famous for it's 'Berliner Schnauze' (Snout), and it has a long history of it's own that doesn't quite match rest of Germany.
Preface: I'd wait a few months before declaring it a game changer. There currently is a huge OpenAI marketing campaign going on touting how amazing GPT-3 is. Almost all the GPT-3 press comes from OpenAI's friends and network of YC founders who got privileged access and promised to build apps on top of the new API. You can see that by looking at the most popular tweets and posts. It's usually ex-YC people who are now working on new GPT-3 powered apps. Their examples and demos are clearly cherry picked. It's the typical Silicon Valley VC pitch deck smoke demo approach that you would expect from SV startup people. Let the hype and marketing campaign settle down.

That being said, if it all works as promised and the model becomes widely available it's quite amazing and has the potential to change a few things. The obvious one is that it becomes much easier to automatically create plausible-looking content such as news stories, comments, etc. This will create many more bots and spam than you are used to seeing. The other obvious one is to act as a natural-language based search engine or database, where you can ask questions and get facts as answers. This would be restricted to non-subjective things that are in the training data of course.

On a longer time scale, it could drive the adoption of technologies around fact and identify verification. As it becomes so much easier to automatically generate content, we need to better ways to establish trust. Safety and bias is yet another, since anything generated will obviously be biased to whatever is most common in the training data.
Nothing wrong with unbounded speculation. Detectives have more facts to narrow the search space, whereas people online know a few facts: (a) CEO of a Nigerian start up; (b) regulatory problems in Nigeria; (c) fund raising. Don't blame the act of speculation; but blame the lack of additional facts.

I can't speak to other forms of copyrights, but literary copyrights also protect derivative works[1].

It'd likely be hard to prove for isolated incidences or sufficiently generic recipes, but but if someone extracted and republished recipes en masse, you could establish that they're deriving those recipes from your works and violating your copyright.

Edit: See my comment here[1] for more details and an example of the issue you run into, particularly with the "steps" component.

You are responsible for your own safety. Period.

A firearm, for most people, is the most effective means to defend themselves against another aggressor. That doesn't mean that it's the right call for everyone.

You're right though, training is necessary "table stakes" and I hope that's not what you're going to sacrifice if you purchase. At the very least, go to an outdoor range and get some amount of practice in so that you can handle your firearm safely.

Also, you need to make the decision up front that you're willing to defend yourself with deadly force. Some people can't or are unwilling to do so. This is a far more consequential decision than most people realize. Without training, practice and the will to use it a firearm is simply a liability.

Some other thoughts:

1. Consider getting a medical kit and keeping it on hand. You're far more likely to use it and Stop the Bleed classes are free. It won't cost much to keep on hand

2. Get Concealed Carry Insurance. You'll need legal representation in the case of defending your life.

3. Realize that after you take a life, you'll likely need counseling. Prepare accordingly
Yes; it's become beyond obvious that there will be no leadership whatsoever on this issue until at least January.

There was a period where some states were working together, but I don't know what happened to that -- maybe we just stopped hearing about it, maybe the relative success in New England caused that to fall off my radar?

Of course, the federal government is also actively working against state-level leadership on Coronavirus, which is worse than doing nothing.
I don't think it's typically that partisan.

I have an insider's perspective on one of the systems mentioned in the article, and from what I could see, politics played no part until everything went off the rails and they started flinging shit in the media.

Things start out with a few in-house sysadmins hacking together some scripts to start batch loading records into a database or whatever. At some point they get far enough along to decide to bring in an external consulting firm to build out a more fully-featured solution.

At that point, it becomes a very ironic situation. The meat of the requirements are laid out by career bureaucrats who work in state government agencies (unemployment, in this case). They are extremely risk-averse because their jobs are typically very secure and, barring any criminal activity, the only thing that can sink a career is some sort of publicized failure involving taxpayer dollars.

So they negotiate contracts for this sort of work with really large, established consulting firms like the Big 4 and include all sorts of requirements and checkpoints and little details that they think are protecting themselves and would drive the average dev shop batty. Furthermore, they want to go from 0-100 right away and convert an old manual paper process to a fully-featured SaaS-style product in one go with a bunch of different feature requests coming from different people.

Thus they ironically end up with a massive risk of failure precisely because of the steps they took to mitigate risk in their minds. They have no prior experience developing software and are usually lacking in overall technical expertise. Really they have no business designing any sort of software solution or negotiating a contract to build one. It's doomed to fail simply based on the premise.

The best outcome would be for a dedicated SaaS company to build something that could be purchased by multiple states. I actually briefly explored starting something like this but couldn't make the numbers work. These departments have very little discretionary budget. Selling to each state would require a literal act of congress, and your TAM is only 53 distinct customers. And because of the inability to quickly make a purchase, they all seem to start out with that in-house hacked approach which naturally leads to paying for consultants to "improve" it, not starting over with a product purchase.
