> What are my options when I take a gap year? I can either live in my apartment near my school and do nothing or live at home. Either way, I am doing nothing because I have no money.

You could work. The delivery companies are all desperate to hire people. It's not glamorous or high-paying work, but it's better than paying through the nose for online classes.

> That said, I am paying nearly $70,000 this year. Same as I paid last year. I am being ripped off this year. I was ripped off last year. Last year was terrible and this year is extremely terrible. At this point, I want to put the whole thing behind me. College has been great because all I've had to do is learn and I've made amazing friends. This year we'll be in our apartment carrying on.

With due respect, there's no college in existence I would pay $70,000/year for. In four years that's $280,000. That's a nice single family home in a nice suburb, or a brownstone in an up-and-coming city neighborhood. Even if the job market magically rights itself, what job are you expecting to get that will allow you to pay that off?

One thing you could do during a gap year that would be worthwhile would be to apply for every scholarship you can to bring that cost down.
It's strange to imply he is some kind of underdog when his net worth is probably around $100M. He can spend the rest of his days reflecting on whatever topic he wants, as can his children, and his great grand children, and their children. His great great great grand children may need to get a job though.

Yes, I doubled checked everything but missed the typo anyways :)

Thank you for the link, I will definitely take a look.

I think what you say makes sense, but I would also note that what did not work out well in the past may work very well tomorrow. Context change, people and customa change, that may make a big difference.

> but the model says they’ll hit a nasty second wave in mid October.

I am wary of modeling "that far" in time, because while vaccines may take a little more to get ready, there are plenty of trials starting or going on for pharmacological treatments, which may give readouts as early as September.

While perhaps they won't be able to avoid infections, they might change clinical management significantly, in particular monoclonal antibodies.

This doesn't seem very good? Is this the best we can do today?
Exciting seeing more SASS features coming to CSS. Being able to edit CSS without a build step makes it much more flexible and clear.
This is usually a tempting fate question but what is the worst that could happen?

They have little power to abuse and obvious accountability. If they block kitten and baby pics and allow people being tortured to death they'll get fired quickly after the inevitable shitstorm.

Insane and unhealthy or creepy doesn't neccessarily mean dangerous. Even if they got twisted pleasure from it they would be gross but not inflicting actual harm. It isn't like people are being brutally murdered to give them kicks - they aren't a source of demand.
Google sheets, et al are free for personal use while Office 360 is a subscription as far as I know.

The numbers given in the article specifically are users not paying customers. As quoted:

> Google's G Suite boss Javier Soltero... did not say how many of those 2 billion users were paid

Additionally it indicates that Office may have more paying users:

> Google said roughly one year ago that 5 million businesses are now paying for G Suite, which pales in comparison to Microsoft Office 365's 200 million monthly active users of its version for businesses.
> For a while Nikola was one of the most popular stocks on Robinhood, the day-trading phone app; the warrants were not. The stock benefitted from hype and publicity and momentum, but the warrants didn’t, because they are called “warrants” and weren’t mentioned in the first paragraph of all the news articles.

> if you noticed the relative-value trade, you might be exactly the sort of person who wouldn’t have wanted to make an unhedged directional bet on Nikola’s stock
Once upon a time (a mere decade ago) JSON support was nowhere.
You really need to implement some 2nd level thinking.

It seems to me that you're just taking the logical argument of better safety net --> lower overall risk --> better performance.

In reality the flow I've seen throughout the years is more like:

Big risk of failure --> additional motivation to succeed --> world changing technology.

If you have a safety net and your life is stable, why even take such a big risk like entrepreneurship?
Has anyone calculated the carbon foot print of parsing JSON?
Right, not fit for a CI/CD ... yet. Web hooks will be added soon.
> No one can downvote posts. Only comments can be downvoted, and then only if you have enough points.

I don't see this as an issue because posts fall off the front page quickly. Using the flagging feature as a form of downvoting seems, to me, as an inappropriate equivalent because flagging acts more like a super downvote and is more intended for notifying of posts that need to be removed because they violate rules in a certain way.

> I also can't downvote replies to my own comments, so I hope that wasn't directed at me.

Not directed at you (no one can downvote replies). It was just funny that less than a minute after posting I got a downvote. I had a good laugh and this was more intended as funny and not an attack on anyone. Sorry if it came off differently.
(I work at TimescaleDB.)

If you are familiar with Postgres and/or SQL, then you may want to start with TimescaleDB. It's just Postgres for time-series. Full SQL, so it's possible to be productive instantly.
You realize their factory was shut down for much of this period, right? Comparing YOY quarterly figures here is very disingenuous.
de facto Italy did. None of the early acts went through the parliament, but were moves made by the PM alone.

Suspensions of rights in exceptional cases is granted only in the case of war, or by law (and that means going through the parliament).

The parent commenter was discussing revenue and not profit. If they were aggressively expanding, I would expect that profits to remain small or negative, but I'd expect revenue to grow as a result.
1. Depends on how many components you use! Each component is a separate package, so you pay for only what you use. We also offer a monopackage containing all components, but it is fully tree shakeable so it should be equivalent to using the individual packages if you have a good build setup.

2. We're working on building some example apps, but for now, the docs are the best example. You can also try out the storybook that we use for development if you clone the repo locally.
Listing some specific perceived flaws with JSON isn’t counter to the claim that it’s one of the greatest things to happen in software development.
> They can't all be equal Unless ofc none of them do anything.

I often think of my therapist like a personal trainer. If you get a personal trainer, and go regularly, you will get fit. The particular workout they use does not matter so much as just going. Maybe one trainer would improve my cardio more, another would make me better at lifting weights and burst strength. Either way I am going to be healthier for going.
> Part of the point of security research is that practically 0% of consumers are capable of doing this research

Well, then by that statement alone security researchers aren’t just “anyone”.

I don’t see a problem in a company imposing restrictions that make finding vulnerabilities harder for everyone in general provided they are willing to allow security researchers to jump those restrictions.

In fact I actually see it as a big win, since now bad actors have significantly higher costs while good actors that are legally liable have lower barriers of entry.
Thanks. I'll work on the landing page this week. For more information immediately however, the main site is https://qvault.io
It seems like you didn't read the actual article all the way through. They are specifically explaining a series of theoretically possible events that would make it so that it is literally impossible to win even if you have perfect knowledge of what the seed is going to give you. And then they look for a seed where this series of events happens, making it impossible to win.
What we really need is Fawkes face paint. A little makeup/lotion that you apply to the face. It would apply random cloaking directly to your skin. This way the cloaking is automatic and applies to images that are not under your control.

I can be as careful as I want to be with my own media. That doesn't stop my wife from uploading the family photo to Facebook or a public camera capturing my image.
Some things I've found useful.

- Have a single person (engineer) who is responsible for making final decisions. Gather input from others but there should be one individual who is responsible for making sure that the design has a consistent vision that meets the goal. If a non-critical decision is taking too long, just make a choice and run with it.

- Be clear about the goal of the project. At Amazon they use the PRFAQ process where you need to begin by writing a costumer-centric press release that basically details why customers should be excited about the project. This helps keep design discussions focused on the customer.

- Be clear about the non-goals or things you will not do.

- At the beginning of a review meeting, have everyone read the document. The document should describe all relevant context. At the end of reading the doc, everyone should have enough context to understand and discuss the design - everyone should have the same understanding of the design (i.e. no confusion about which version of the doc we're talking about, no one who didn't have enough time to read the doc beforehand and just skimmed it).

- Have people add comments as they read through it, the authors can respond to the comments in real-time and once everyone is done reading the doc, the comments act as a list of things that need to be discussed.

- Have the doc be the absolute source of truth. If it's not in the doc, we're not planning on doing it. This prevents cases where you have a chat with someone about an idea, look into it further and decide to not do it/do it differently, but the reviewer thinks you are still going to do it, but you just haven't updated the document yet.

>If they wanted to show profits today they could give up building and expanding factories and stop entering new product categories

Can you show me in the financial statements where this "aggressive investing" in factories is, and how it affects net profit? Why are they doing it if revenues are stagnant?
I'd like to know. Please share whatever you've learned.

FWIW I've lowered my LDL thru diet; less dairy and a lot more grains and beans. And Dr Lustig says fiber blocks metabolism of fructose.
This reminds me of the "Boltzmann universe" theory! "Proof by appeal to authority: see Boltzmann." :)

I wondered about this and apparently it dates to 1972: https://blog.sqlizer.io/posts/csv-history/ - in which case it may have been used for EBCDIC conversion! It looks like it pre-dates the spreadsheet (early 80s, Mitch Kapor/Lotus) by a long way.
This story is an interesting contrast to the story of Twitter dropping users for spreading the QAnon conspiracy.

Clearly, there's near-universal agreement that some moderation is fine; only a handful of (downvoted) comments on this thread saying "The easiest way to fix this problem would be for Facebook to stop censoring posts and let users block what they don't want to see." But we clearly don't think that's a good solution in this case.

The question of whether QAnon should also be blocked is one of degree, not quality.

Is that your belief, or are you stating the belief of the Abrahamic religions? Clarifying this might ease the mutual understanding in this discussion.
Not sure why this is downvoted. I work for people who have both and while I'm definitely not a Slack fan, find Teams to be pretty much unusable outside of video chat. I have trouble even considering the two as covering the same space when I think about it...
I've worked at Google for a while, and a few years ago I wanted to release an open-source project. Since the code was going on Git, it made sense to throw the design there too, so I just added a DESIGN.md to the top-level of the project. This has had a remarkably nice effect: sometimes, when people make large changes to the project, they update the design to reflect the changes!

See this lovely commit as an example: https://github.com/google/stenographer/commit/d678531a3e5a87...

It certainly suggests this.

Full bullet: If you use the SRD to find, test, validate, verify, or confirm a vulnerability, you must promptly report it to Apple and, if the bug is in third-party code, to the appropriate third party. If you didn’t use the SRD for any aspect of your work with a vulnerability, Apple strongly encourages (and rewards, through the Apple Security Bounty) that you report the vulnerability, but you are not required to do so.
About half of the quarter under discussion.
Thanks for the https://releaseapp.io shout out! Reploy looks like a copy of what we are doing. Game on.
So many red flags

Profit is all regulatory credits, actual auto sales flat to down, accounts receivable balance is now 1.4B or >20% of revenue, interest income is $8M (down -20%) even though global interest rates were cut to near 0 in Q2, R&D and service spending down despite dozens of projects the company claims to be working on.

Thanks for sharing, that's really useful. I realized you did the javascript example using XHR Any reason why you didn't use fetch?

```

instead of

```
var requestURL = 'https://api.exchangerate.host/latest';
var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
request.open('GET', requestURL);
request.responseType = 'json';

request.send();
request.onload = function() {
var response = request.response;
console.log(response);
}

Well, I probably wouldn't invite him to my game night, but if it's his job to watch ISIS videos, it seems like he'd be well-suited, no?

It seems like if you acknowledge that:
a) Terrible job exists
b) Terrible job is necessary

You should also allow for a person to do terrible job without thinking that they must be a terrible person by extension. Otherwise you continue the well-trodden history of certain professions like hide-makers, executioners, or coroners being ostracized from society for doing the job we told them to do.
In the past, as long as it's only 1 or 2 years, there weren't really any readmission issues as long as your previous grades weren't terrible. I've been readmitted, and had a few friends readmitted. There are lots of reasons that students take a gap year, some of which are well outside the students' control, so it's a fairly common occurrence that colleges have provisions for.

However, if you go too long, prerequisites start to change, credits start to expire, etc., so even if you're readmitted that can be problematic.

And there's the caveat that Covid may have all sorts of effects in the coming years.
Yea, if they are adding product lines without an increase in revenue that seems (possibly) concerning, though obviously the current economic situation makes it hard to know how to value year over year comparisons.
A useful keyword in this is Helicobacter pylori.

Apparently a huge percentage of people have it, especially in developing countries but not limited to them, and it is known to cause a lot of problems though there is debate about possible benefits of it.

There is a sort of cure for it involving proton pump inhibitors and antibiotics. After which, your stomach feels a ton better and your probability of stomach cancer likely decreased.

I had chronic stomach aches since I returned from a long traveling in Thailand. Only recently did I apply this treatment. I've never had such great stomach health.

This was self-diagnosed and treated. I know what many on hacker news thinks about non-experts talking about these sorts of things in recent months. I think that's absurd.

Help yourself because no one else is more invested in your health.
I am just hoping that those currently uncovered cases will be "milder or more nuanced" cases that will be less damaging to the psyche of human moderators and will, once labeled correctly, improve the coverage rate of automated moderators.

It's funny to see facts down-voted by an usually well informed and rational public. :-D

Still, facts are facts, no matter how sloppy the wording I've chose.

I didn't mean to diminish the effort put into that one incarnation of those so called design systems. I've only mentioned that it's (like all others of the "modern" ones I've seen until now) light years behind what you could have got 10+ years ago.

If I would like to really offend some people here I would have said that actually Visual Basic 6 was far more advanced than today's "web component libraries" when it comes to building GUIs. Most likely this could be even proved: One would only need to build (from scratch) a typical GUI for some business app with web-tech and VB6 against a timer. I know on which tech I would bet delivering results faster. ;-) Not that I'm saying a VB6 app would be a proper replacement for a web app, that's not the point. But the productivity of web tech for application development is just somewhere on the level of 20 years ago. But the down-voters are likely just to young to know that. So the down-votes are likely fine. :-)

"BACKGROUND: That African American (AA) patients have poorer surgical outcomes compared with their white peers is established. The prevailing presumption is that these disparities operate within the context of a higher preoperative comorbidity burden among AA patients. Whether these racial differences in outcomes exist among apparently healthy children (traditionally expected to have low risk of post surgical complications) has not been previously investigated."

"CONCLUSIONS: Even among apparently healthy children, being AA is strongly associated with a higher risk of postoperative complications and mortality. Mechanisms underlying the established racial differences in postoperative outcomes may not be fully explained by the racial variation in preoperative comorbidity."
You are misusing academic language to mask a modification to your claim under interrogation. You specifically argued against “an awareness awakening by the sick individual that would bring a healthier lifestyle“ by stating it is “better off not worrying about it and enjoying your life.” You are now attempting to amend that claim by saying well of course you’re in favor of knowing about the bad things.

So what does this mean, that you actually support looking at a hypothetical comprehensive list, just that it should be sorted by severity so you don’t have to sweat the small stuff? That would be a fundamental modification of your original claim which had no such qualification.
When the goal is to prevent users from seeing this content, crowd-sourcing moderation defeats the purpose.

Users don't want the back-stop to be "a critical mass of community members object;" for content like this, they want to see zero of it, ever, and will choose to use another site that satisfies that hard constraint if FB cannot.
I wonder if it works against clearview.ai

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-1bR3P9RAw

It's very important that it works 'cos clearview is so creepy. It's not creepy because of its technology, it's creepy because the justifications of its existence that are given by its CEO are sooo weak. "we can do it because it's not worse than google" (ie. we entirely skip the moral argument), "we can do it because it's for law enforcement" (let's frame our stuff in a way that it's only positive) , "we can do it because we ensure that those who use our tool are strictly controlled" (yeah, we're above the states), "all images are public therefore I can do whatever I want", etc.
