Thanks for this feedback!

1) You can delete steps on a recorded test but not during the recording. This is to ensure that we have an exact copy of the initial recording. Thereafter, you can click on the test step and click "Delete" on the middle pane.

2) These should be captured out of the box. Can you email me your test URL so I can investigate? fitz at Thank you!
Problem for Ebay, which is why they were forced to consider the sale at all. Elliot and Starboard are two of the biggest agitator investors out there, and together they’re formidable. You really don't want them owning a large percentage of your stock unless you want problems.
>As everyone moves to e-commerce, a lot of companies are going to be burned by counterfeit products finding their way into their warehouses

And how is this any different than the status quo?

Walmart, Best Buy, basically everyone but Amazon already tracks which inbound shipments correspond to which purchases so they can keep their brand reputations unpolluted by shoddy widgets and cut unreliable suppliers from their supply chain if need be.

This is a solved problem. It's just that solving it comes with some overhead and a particular major player thinks it's easier to not deal with the overhead up front and instead handle it after the consumer has the goods. It's yet to be proven how sustainable this approach is.
Parallels of the Scientific Method and Design-Thinking
> I still haven't wrapped my head around antivax...

It's a tough one in some ways, but more gets down to how you define what an antivaxer is.

I have a friend who will never have another flu shot and be weary of this vaccine - WHY, well he had his first ever flu jab a few years back, which had bad side effects for him and he lost hearing due to it in one ear. Hence, he's very weary of such vaccines now and yet, some people would label him an antivaxer! I don't think he is as he is basing his opinion on self education and more so, experience as well as he don't push his choice decisions onto others.

See medicines and vaccines have side effects, most people won't get any, some will get a few and a very few will have adverse effects.

My worry is those who have had bad experiences and maybe more prone to side effects in some medicines due to genetics etc, get labeled as antivaxers and their very real personal experience is overlooked and they are viewed as crackpots when talking to medical advisers in the future, let alone society.

But then for me an antivaxer is somebody who actively promotes the non-use for everybody period and run with that. Now I don't know anybody like that, but can see how some may of come about via a few edge cases and propergating that onto the whole. That is a case of needing education.

If some people want to make an informed choice about individual vaccines based upon their medical concerns that are real and not anxieties - well, that's how it should work. Though if they actively promote their choice onto others, well, that's not right and what I would class as an antivaxer.

Me, I sent email to to the research folks offering to be a human lab rat if it helped speed up vaccine development, not that i'd call myself a provaxer - just case of the maths made sense and as spoke said - the lives of the many outway the lives of the few. Besides I'm still here :-). But I can respect an informed choice made by some, as long as they don't feel the right to impose that free choice of theirs onto others.
Good point. The test failure case is something we should show. Thank you!
There are a very low number of antivaxers. Oddly enough, a lot of Measles outbreaks happen in strict religious communities with private schools that wouldn't be subject to vaccination laws in public schools anyway.

The media has totally blown antivaxers out of proportion. On top of that, there are many people who are very much for MMR, Polio and most of our standard vaccinations, but are weary of newer vaccines like HPV (and get thrown in with all antivaxers).

Some vaccines aren't very effective. I was turning in my vaccination records for school once and I was missing my 3rd Hep B shot. You have to have 3 of those in a few months, and if you miss one, you have to start over. A biologist I knew said it only had a 60% take rate, and was one of the most common vaccines that had to be taken again for hospital staff (who are given antibody tests to see which vaccines they need).

And on top of all of that, look at what happens when a vaccine is rushed. In the 1970s, 60 Minutes did a documentary on the rush to make a Swing Flu vaccine. Millions were vaccinated with no ill effects, but there were healthy adults that did have long term, permanent neurological damage:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMUeZ4vz6cU

I had to stop getting flu shots because they'd make the entire side of my body on the injection arm, hurt for days. I'd get extreme fatigue and soreness. It wasn't as bad as the flu of course, but it was painful enough I decided to stop getting them. I had an asshole friend tell me it was psychosomatic (all in my head). I get all my other shots (including Typhoid and Meningitis when travelling abroad) and had no adverse reaction.

So I make an active choice that I'm not going to do flu vaccines.

This entire situation is dangerous because we're talking about personal autonomy vs some ideological concept of communal good; and we're not discussing it with the delicate discussion and nuance it deserves. You can throw around terms like "antivax" and "antiscience" and it's a religious statement at that point, because you're not addressing the very real ethical concerns people have.
Encouraging results from phase 1/2 Covid-19 vaccine trials [pdf]
Clearly there are already multiple large instances in existence, so the situation is already fundamentally better than Twitter where there is only a single instance.

Furthermore, I think that small instances are just as important as the big ones. If a small group of people has a shared interest and they want to run an instance in a specific way that's possible to do with Mastodon.

There are tons of small Mastodon communities for all kinds of niche interests right now, and their users can make up their own rules for how they interact, what they allow, and so on. This is an incredibly important aspect of the federated model. There isn't one set of rules that applies to everybody the way there is with a centralized platform.
Congratulations with growing so big. Why aren't there dozens of lookalikes by now?

I mean CDNs that will let you override the origin's cache instructions and do a decent job of DDOS protection, and whose feature list otherwise looks a little like Cloudflare's.
It seems like there are a lot of good reasons for every choice they made.

Organizations are constantly making decisions that are trading off certain values for others, i.e. openness vs safety/expediency/funding. But if they use the word open in their name, signalling to people that is one of their foundational values, people will expect them to pick openness even when it's not necessarily the easiest, safest, most expedient, or most profitable choice. They expect them to pick openness when it's hard.
> All those functions all lead back to how difficult of a problem you are solving for them.

No. 1) The market size is independent of the hardness of the problem. 2) The hardness of the problem is independent of the customer's pressure to solve the problem [1]. 3) Even if a customer has a pressing problem, their budget for your product has a hard upper bound: their revenue. In reality it's nearly always several orders of magnitude lower than that. 4) Good marketing and sales has a strong influence on the perceived value your product creates for the customer, which in turn is the primary factor to determine the price you can ask from a specific customer; the perceived hardness of solving that problem is irrelevant to them.

[1] For example, solving the Travelling Salesman Problem in polynomial time is generally incredibly hard, probably even impossible, and yet solving it would be pretty inconsequential for logistics companies, because they have heuristic algorithms which are good enough.
In 50 years I’ve never interacted with those professions, much less 15. I don’t think I’ve even met anyone who lives the kind of lifestyle that would interact with bell hops, coat check, etc.
I saw about 4 full-replacement of video ads. It might be because I selected 4K video. I wonder if they push more ads when you select a higher quality.
> it's impossible to remember 32 random characters in UUID

Is it, though?

Plenty of folks memorise 16-digit credit card numbers - I've known retail employees who can recite those back after reading them just once.

Back when I was a sysadmin, I taught myself to type 25-digit Windows product keys from memory.

32 digits doesn't seem an unreasonable stretch, given time and practice.

> Although this virus has killed many, the risk factor for it is nowhere near high enough to warrant an emergency vaccine. There are trials underway for inhaled steroids that look very promising, and there's a good chance this virus will burn out in our population long before a truly safe vaccine comes to market.

I think your perception of the numbers are a little off here. In the UK, we were loosing 1100 people a day entirely through covid (https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/) That was most from a few hot spots like london. (less than 10% of the population.) We were very close to overwhelming hospitals. when a hospital system is overwhelmed you get a very large spike in deaths, because stuff that's treatable isn't treated

without lockdown, those deaths would have grown exponentially. Something like 200-400k preventable deaths.

so, if we want to get out of lockdown, we need to have something to reduce the spread of the virus. One way is heard immunity (thats what the US is doing, and its not going very well) another is vaccine.

Now, given the UK example, if the vaccine causes 10 deaths, and 1000 severe reactions(ie hospitalised) thats still better than the 200k deaths and close to a million cases with complications

Deaths arn't the whole picture, its the people that recover with life altering injuries as well.
There's a single parameter to consider - yourself, that is one's own tolerances and expectations.

Coffee drinking lately regained its kinds of ritual, which come with proper inventory and attributes. Mini ceremonies we create for ourselves in the name of caffeine jolt.

I once attended an Ethiopian coffee ceremony [1], a bit theatrical, but it has social function, and indeed showcases coffee as it passess from green beans to your cup. By the way, the grounds can be rebrewed twice at least (like good tea).

My first feeling was that the ceremony celebrates the coffee, but then I realized that it's really a way for a host to celebrate the guests, basically the result is not in the cup but in the preparations.

All of us coffee drinkers maintain some kind of the ceremony, for many (pre COVID19) it was standing in the morning line at whatever coffee-'temple', accepting whatever ended up in the cup with your(?) name.

It's when this cult aspect is detached, suddenly all attention is tied to the devices, consistency, origin, etc.

Right, with Stackpath they do TLS but not necessarily on the primary domain. You don't have to point your nameservers if you don't want to. So you can set them up on a subdomain and use their fake SSL to serve purely static files (if the file doesn't exist on CDN at the time it's requested then their system will pull it directly from your server via a private subdomain, serve it to the client and store it for next time)

So in this way it's possible to setup CDN with shared SSL for purely static files but not the app server itself; you don't have to give the keys to the whole kingdom so to speak and it's cheaper than Cloudflare at the basic level.
Under the assumption that the electron is a point charge moving in a circular path, it radiates electromagnetic energy as it moves, in the form of field ripples.

This gif is for a 1d oscillation rather than an orbit, but it does a good job of conveying the idea.

https://thumbs.gfycat.com/ExhaustedAlarmedDeinonychus-size_r...

Interestingly enough, if the electron were a continuous ring (like Saturn's rings) rather than a point charge, it could orbit without losing energy, generating only a static magnetic field. I don't know why this model rarely comes up in explorations of classical physics models of the atom.
> you see or believe something that others simply can't or don't, and you want to do something about it.

It must be more than vision. I see things all the time that more others can't but I really dont have the time or inclination to start a company.
I find this characterization somewhat amusing, in a positive way. This makes it sound like someone implemented (rather poorly) an ambitious wealth gap reduction plan that uses insufficient approximations and no government oversight, leaving a significant number of people behind.
Sure, however the more important point here is that this kind of attack is fundamentally more difficult to carry out and less effective than it would be against a centralized service.
I think in many instances it would make more sense to still use nominal identifiers, but enrich them with semantic data.

For example, instead of invoice #306889086579, use an ID like R2020-06-14951.
You can also use ffmpeg to do this, but figuring out the correct command line options is not easy.
Walmart, Target Workers Are Terrified of Enforcing Mask Rules
Yeah, I’ve never interacted with a bartender, and the kind of restaurants I frequent don’t expect cash tips. McDs is still considered a high end restaurant, right?
That's the equivalent of saying if you want Microsoft to fail, buy all their products in the hope that they get too big and inefficient and therefore fail.

Sure, more control helps, but you need quite a lot and it would be prohibitively expensive at the moment (and also noticeable).
Sure, relocate to Russia - you know, a country that doesn't even have free internet anymore and just like China pushes for totally state-controlled national network...

Yeah, right.

To point a finger at Germany while recommending Switzerland or Russia of all places as alternatives is just beyond retarded.

So there have been a few (two, apparently) raids/seizing of documents in past 15 years, so what? Why no mention of other illegal raids or seizing of documents?

Ah, right - bias. You know THESE raids were different, because they affected the radical left instead of kiddie porn, drug dealers, neo nazis, or religiously motivated terrorists.

So we now know were the author draws the line, since apparently it's more important WHO does the spying than that there's spying at all. And of course a country where illegal raids can actually be brought before a judge and ruled illegal are much worse than regimes that don't even give you the option...

I'm not a fan of the German government, but I'm even less a fan of political extremists with a "the enemy of my enemy is my friend"-attitude.
Ask HN: Good App Curator?
Are there any good app curators for work & productivity apps?
Sure, but he didn't say those, he said S&P 500. It seems like weird American exceptionalism that the internet repeatedly recommends only investing in one nation's index when that would be laughable if you heard a Japanese, Chinese, or German person saying to do the same with their national index.
This is distinctly at odds with the techno-optimist view that is so prevalent on this site, and in the tech world in general, that expects technology to address societies ills in a way that allows us to forgo systemic changes.

I also find it helpful to adblock the home page and "related videos" suggestions (both sidebar and after the video finishes). It really helps you from getting tempted/distracted by clickbait videos or getting stuck in a rabbit hole.
What you’ve called transition delay is actually transition duration.
I believe that there are two things at play here: 1. epistemology (a.k.a. ToK - Theory of Knowledge) and 2. emotion vs rationality.

What the author says should be completely natural to a person who is has studied ToK and who is in a rather rational state of mind.

A person who doesn't understand the problem of ToK would simply be oblivious.

A person who is under the influence of emotion, well, would be unable to help themself from believing whatever fits their emotion.

The ultimate evidence of truthfulness need not be a URL, depending on the claim. Nor is a URL necessarily sufficient. After all, how do you know the ultimate URL of origin is trustworthy? All you can do is to recursively ask yourself "how do you know?", either until you accumulate enough doubt or until the question sounds absurd.
Let me clarify. I agree that in general having a centralized warehouse handle online orders is better than having retail stores do so, for the same reason why FedEx and UPS are more efficient in using a central transit hub in Kentucky/Tennessee even for an overnight package going from one location to another in the same city.

But surely even better is both? Have an online warehouse handle most orders, but have the inventory system integrated across warehouses and stores, so that if it turns out that an item is a) available in a store in the same metro area as the customer, and/or b) is out of stock in the warehouse, a store employee can pick and pack the order during a free moment and have the order arrive at the customer the next day?
That's true of course, federation doesn't provide immunity from this kind of manipulation. However, I do think that it's worth highlighting the fact that it does help mitigate the problem.
> I admit that this is a, I guess, pretty european view of things (i.e. govs are good, since they keep greedy companies in check), while the american view might rather be that govs are bad because they get into the way of companies (which are considered good).

Here's another way of looking at it: Germany is adopting an incredibly hypocritical position on privacy. It's so hypocritical it's nearly identical to the American government's position that many here on HN rightly decry.
Maybe GP is referring to 1.1.1.2 and 1.1.1.3, the DNS resolvers that filter malware and malware+adult content respectively? Both are optional alternatives to the unfiltered 1.1.1.1 DNS service if so...
Hypothetically speaking if you were a front-line worker exposed to the public and the vaccine only worked reliably for 90 days wouldn't you get it quarterly? It seems like the prudent approach to get r0 well below until we can drain the reservoir of disease because as others have noted, getting enough vaccines deployed simultaneously globally could be a challenge.

If it's really down to a single company not being able to manufacture enough then it's time to open up the vaccine to licensing and let other companies pile in.

> I say ship it to production now, and do a v2.0 release later.

I commented on that part. And yes, it seems to be safe in healthy subjects (Phase I). The OP wants to move from Phase I to production immediately. I take an exception to that approach and I agree with you that there is a point in doing the three phases. The later of which actually focus on effectiveness as well.

Shipping something that's not effective is counterproductive. Being vaccinated would affect people's behaviour, if you told them that they should not change their behaviour back to pre c19, you would be just faced with questions on what's the point of vaccination.

We can ship placebo right now.
Twitter Hack Update: What We Know (and What We Don’t)
If I made 400% on something, I would probably sell half of it, and keep another half at least for a year. That way, both my safety and greed would be satisfied.

(But this is more about psychology than math. For some people this would be the worst option, because if the thing would lose value, they would blame themselves for not selling everything when they had the opportunity, and if it would gain even more value, they would blame themselves for not waiting with everything. So it would be lose/lose from their perspective.)
Yeah, if the first thing I saw was $500 track pants, I would probably walk out thinking that this store was too expensive.
This comment prompted me to actually look because i've noticed the same kind of thing and it's frustrating as hell.

It seems like a hassle, but I did manage to find the youtube watch and search history where you can remove individual videos and searches from their algorithms. It's not very user friendly and doesn't give a ton of control, but it looks like it could help at least keep those weird one time searches from cluttering things up.

> Keep in mind people who test positive but die of a car wreck are counted as COVID19.

In Colorado there was lawsuit over this, because there was a case of a college age man dying of alcohol poisoning but he tested positive for Covid-19 so was counted as a Covid-19 death per CDC regulations. So the Colorado Health Department now tracks two numbers: people that died with Covid-19 and people that died because of Covid-19. As of right now the first is 1,752 deaths and the second is 1,615 deaths. Statistically it's not a huge difference, you can see the numbers here:

Recycling Is Not Garbage
The median age of death from COVID is about 80, and those people have serious existing health conditions. Statistically people in this group will have a life expectancy of about another 5 years. This is not a group that you have to worry about side-effects.

The death toll from COVID lockdown is so much higher - from excess suicides, poverty, crime and violence - that anything we can do to alleviate the panic and get back to normal life is worth it.

It depends on the instance. Larger instances do have backups, and they have operational funding. There is also a history of these instances operating for years without issues. Mastodon also makes it very easy to extract your data. Finally, you can always run your own instance if you wanted to and have full control over it.
