positive test probably goes a long way towards allowing people at minimum wage / hourly style jobs to call in sick without risking their jobs. Although they are likely forced to go to work without telling anyone as they lack sick leave and cannot afford a missed paycheck.
I've been using Tailwind more than Bootstrap recently.

Bootstrap is just everywhere and has been for a long time.

It's refreshing to see something new using tailwind.

It takes a little time to get up to speed, but once you do going back to work with bootstrap makes you appreciate how easy tailwind is.

TailwindUI.com is awesome, they have some free components you can use to see if you like it, or you can use tailwind components from other sources.

TailwindUI components are just more polished/pro from the start.
That's not the point. What matters here is if you can still link messages to the same person, even if you don't know who that person is.
One of the things I argued back when the Mono Project first showed up and everyone and his dog was pissing on it because C# -> Microsoft -> the devil. Is historically Microsoft behavior towards developers using it's tools has been benign. I think that dates back to when Bill Gates realized in the mid 70's that trying to sell tools was a bad business model.

I worry a lot less about Microsoft and tooling like VSCode than I would about anything developed by FAANG or god forbid Oracle.
Is it not possible to be highly competent at playing the piano and also at carving wooden sculptures? Or not possible to be a master of C++ _and_ CSS? That just doesn't make any sense.

Perhaps your views are more a reflection on people getting pigeonholed at large companies, or otherwise choosing to specialise? Or something like that?

I personally think it's hard to be a _really_ good frontend dev without a chunk of more general development experience. What wider experience will you draw from to solve hard frontend problems otherwise? If your Angular/React app isn't performant enough because of the computations it needs to do or allocations it needs to make, how big is your mental toolbox to fix that if you haven't done more general backend dev work? It's all just software, ultimately.
Yes that was indeed the case, but the twist is that even if you scrolled to the side views, the camera would still remain active. They actually had (still have?) a low power mode toggle in the settings that I believe deactivated this behavior.
ISO 8601 is the standard technical way to refer to time and has been for ages - I guessed everyone who worked with computers and time would know about it sorry thought it was obvious.
Both chips have a mixture of 45 and 90 degree bends, so it's nothing that obvious. About 98% of the paths are the same and then there are these changes with no discernible pattern.
True. Except that the German app turns on EVERYTHING - LTE, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS. And the carrier gets it all. I had the app installed for all of maybe 2 minutes because it did exactly what it claimed to do, but I'm not giving the carrier even more granular location info. The only thing I leave on when I leave the house is mobile data.
As a data analyst, I once took an introductory class to modern dance. 5 sessions during one week. I though I was trained, I did calystecnics and yoga.

The class included "floor work" similar but no limited to [1].

It was hard. I received a lot of feed back from the instructor, but of course I didn't achieve that amount of grace.

Very worth trying if you want to experience learning something new and challenging.

Incidentally, this is one area where there are many more females than males. 2¢.

> or via the one side channel you didn't realize existed.

Can't do much about that one. Gotta have someone telling you, or (worst case) the very state of the art advancing under your feet.

> at some point you have to draw a line or "don't roll your own crypto" becomes "don't write your own software" because everything is in scope.

Yes, there is a point beyond which you don't have a choice. The natural (and utterly impractical) line to draw is untrusted input. Talking through the internet is the obvious one, but merely playing a video exposes you to untrusted data that might take over your program and wreck havoc.

Compression is a tough one. I'd personally try padding. Something like PADME should work well in many cases. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PURB_(cryptography)
I used to interact with D. E. Shaw and many other funds at my prior job. At an IB. This is simply not true.
Oh, definitely, but that will get very expensive very quickly, especially with a self-updating difficulty mechanism. I don't see botnets being much of a problem outside of one-off posts (or maybe a few more for state actors).
That would make sense in a perfect world to me. I would prefer it too. This company I worked for was leader in its industry and many vertices. It had legacy apps from 80s still running through today. Probably 30 SAAS based applications or so. Many many different languages used. Many using internal services and queues to communicate with each other. With 100's if not 1000's of B2B integrations, pumping millions of requests through their portal at any given time. (they also maintained their own data centers.)
Anyways, given my experience and troubleshooting message queuing etc and jumping in new code bases all the time. I was more like a blend of SRE / Dev / IT / Product manager. (yeah I know). Given I worked across the SDLC I always found it easiest to, establish the problem statement and the behavior around it. The expected behavior, then dive into the gray log with a unique piece of information that should be logged and trace it from there. To each their own. Unfortunetly with architecture this way I commonly see "segmentation" between Support/Ops/Dev were a problem can end up in limbo. That's were I would hop in.

OpenAI’s latest AI text generator GPT-3 amazes early adopters
They’re getting their misinformed rants wrong too - the usual theory is that the AMA (not AHA) is restricting the supply of doctors which isn’t true and hasn’t been for ~25 years. There’s a literal budget line in the Medicare omnibus that could double the number of residents trained every year.
> Instead you go to an anonymous arb firm, for $1m in bonds, and you say, "okay we're going to sell you the bond that is actually ours, you will sell it back to us, here is your fee, now we can sell this bond back to the client and wash the fact that it is ours."

If this was actually how the world's biggest hedge funds work, somebody would have written a whistleblower article by now.
I think it’s reasonable to discuss lowering of standards - not all doctors do the same kind of work so we shouldn’t hold them all to the same high-standards that coincidentally place, what I feel, are unreasonably high barriers to entry to working as a doctor in the US.

For example, I understand that (and please correct me if I’m wrong) that all foreign-trained and foreign-qualified doctors regardless of age, experience, and position (and country of origin, country of education, etc) have to go through the same rigorous process as a fresh-faced med-school grad in the US - even though most US doctors would fail the same process if they were also 5+ years out of med-school.

Personal anecdote: my sister is a GP in London. I asked her if she’d ever consider working here in the US and she said she considered it but she didn’t want to spend a full year or more having to re-qualify from scratch, despite her professional qualifications and experience (she has her medical masters from LSHTM and is a published researcher with her papers in the US’ PubMed).

We have international portability of licensing for drivers licenses - and many places allow for portability of professional engineering licenses too - it seems arbitrary (if not outright protectionist) to not have some degree of medical license portability in the US.
I saw the Arkestra in the late 70s at a venue on Broadway in San Francisco. I was amazed at the number of musicians. How could he pay this many people to play this small venue and cheap tickets? Amazing show. I think they played until 1 AM. Followed by the Dead Kennedies, who we weren’t interested in seeing.

About 6 years later I saw a much smaller Archestra in Camp Hill, PA. Small crowd. About half of them walked out.

Just so you know... Google Photos is full of dark patterns. For example there's no way to mass delete pictures. It simply doesn't exist.

There's a janky browser script on GitHub that you inject into the page to delete your photos. That's what I had to use when I migrated to OneDrive.

And some Android phones are configured to automatically upload to Google Photos to "save space" on the device. I recovered thousands of lost photos for my parents that got deleted from their phones and uploaded to Google without their knowledge. My Dad has been backing up his photos for years, but half were missing from the backup because I found them on Google photos.

It took the browser automation script hours to delete all their photos after I got them out.

Even worse, when I was trying to remove duplicates from the set, I found that Google alters the metadata of the photos you export. So when you try to compare them you can't use regular diff tools
Companies of non-trivial size often have (and should have) a system allowing for remote device management. Which means:

- It should be easy to reinstall to a known good image with all the relevant software, settings, drivers, etc. then restore the backed up data. This is relatively common in corps.

- Once you observe the malware and know how it reaches the C&C server, you can push rules blocking that host or block the bad binary network-wide.

Of course there will be companies that didn't have good enough system in place and once exploited are doomed.

Color laser printers can't be trusted.

Color inkjet printers probably can't either. Networked printers should not be granted internet access. The printer vendor is your enemy, not an ally.
Some companies of a surprisingly small size even have fulltime agile coaches. I am yet to be convinced those roles are anything besides "management padding".

I saw them spend all their time to create reports no one consumed and do "illusion of activity" kind of stuff. They did retrospectives that never led to change, had to justify why development was behind schedule and find new and creative ways to make burn down charts look better than reality.
The part of my comment you quoted was referring to preventing people from disingenuously proxying for another entity, not to maintaining their own personal anonymity.

Regarding accidentally revealing oneself, that's always a risk. If you create an anonymous HN identity but then inadvertently link it back to yourself then all previous posts under that account are immediately traceable as well.

Web of trust itself is easy and already widely used by many free software communities as a decentralized means of securing reputation based identities (anonymous or otherwise). The challenge is in allowing an established identity (established either via reputation, government ID, in person interaction, whatever) to perform an anonymous but trusted (ie authenticated) interaction with the network. In other words, to implement a web of trust scheme that supports anonymized but otherwise verified interactions via zero knowledge proofs.
Unfortunately yes they did. Even in my hospital I remember when the recommendations were that masks were unnecessary unless in a covid room. I’ve been treating covid pts since April.

Edit: maybe for clarity I should add that I don’t remember anyone saying it was ineffective, just unnecessary. I witnessed several physicians wearing their own masks be told by higher ups to stop though. I’ll have to look through old emails, things have changed on a weekly basis.

> I want datasets A, B, and C in one place for use, rather than downloading them all separately and then combining them, mix and match

This is the use case we're focused on at Splitgraph [0]. We think data is most interesting when combined with other data, so it's important to be able to reference multiple datasets in one query.

The Splitgraph engine is powered by Postgres and allows you to build versioned "data images," which are snapshots of databases (like Docker images are snapshots of filesystems). You can "mount" multiple databases in one engine [1] and query them with regular SQL, or you can write a Splitfile [2] that references both of them when "importing" data into an image.

This can be really useful at times. We have a blog post about mounting multiple databases and using dbt for cross-DB transformations. [3]

Ultimately, our goal is to build a "data delivery network" -- a single SQL endpoint where you can query any databases connected to Splitgraph (whether live, or cached using Splitgraph images).

Right, again, get rid of public keys with zero-knowledge proofs, and you've solved this problem. The only way to screw up is by publicly disclosing which messages are yours. Although, I guess a large part of the problem is that some users might accidentally do this implicitly, and many may do it just by writing in some unique way.

Any thoughts on a solution?
More or less the message was, you don't need a mask because you shouldn't be out in public anyway.
Prop traders / HFTs definitely provide liquidity. It's not clear that quant funds do the same.
Great quote. Also unintentionally (I think) humorous, given the manufacturing problem with Hubble referred to in the article was slightly inaccurate grinding of the lens' edges.
There are variants of COVID-19, but there is no evidence that the variations are of any biological significance.

There is no evidence that the variations change how infectious the virus is or how severe the illness is or how often people die from it or anything else.
The incentive to pay is that it nukes Blackbaud's credibility and trustworthiness, and likely destroys the entire business.

To a criminal that's easily worth an ask of 5BTC - or perhaps x% of annual profits in perpetuity.

An extortion scam is likely to be worth more than the data.
it's always hilarious to me that feminism is always the clear solution to these petty MRA talking points. feminism wants to split the check, if MRA types embraced feminism a lot of the things that hurt them would evaporate.

> NZ is in a similar situation as VN where a local transmission appeared today without known infection chain. It only takes one error and you're back to square 1.

That's the problem with the NZ model of draconian lockdowns. Of course it can work, but only temporarily, and you can't stay locked down forever. I doubt the people of New Zealand are prepared to lock down over and over again every time the virus re-emerges.

The Swedish model is one that people can live with for long periods of time.
> Everybody wears a mask indoors and nobody but a very small minority complains.

This is true in supermarkets at least.

Sorry, hardly anyone still practices distancing outside. At a lake people were on a crowded beach 20cm apart.
Forgot what but I remember feeling quite inspired by some of the abstractions .. seemed just slightly innovative yet solving a problem too.
Yes you can run arbitrary code in them.
Somebody did write a whistleblower article about D.E. Shaw, it was just about other aspects of their business/affairs [0]

This isn't new and it's not even a technological issue. This is how everyone in a minority position feels. be that an expert, a religious minority, a sexual minority, or anyone else who faces a crowd. In 1931 it was 100 Authors against Einstein.

I seriously wonder why it took some people twitter and gpt-3 to figure out that "more speech is the solution to bad speech" is actually complete nonsense that people who work at Facebook repeat because it increases their stock value.

The author isn't even really looking for free speech, they're just re-using the term because it's apparently the only acceptable adjective in front of 'speech'. What the author is figuring out is that free expression doesn't necessary produce truth or justice.
Italy’s Immuni wasn’t downloaded enough to be a significant sample; people are too worried about their bloody battery performance and “what if I’m flagged and gub’mint makes me isolate home”. The National Health Service’s effort to run a population wide serological sample was also declined because “what if I’m positive and I need to stay home”. The fucking chemical reagents expired in the meantime.

It’s these times when I have to make an effort not to praise regimes for their efficiency in enforcement... or it’s just theater and marketing and human nature is rotting their process to the core as well..
Yeah, 161K per million and 53.2 million tests is "so far behind". You should diversify your news intake at this point.

I do like the feature where the flashcards are linked to the place in source material where they came from.

Something I didn't like about anything less trivial in Ankhi was that there was a lot of overheard in trying to write a card knowing that I would never reconcile it with its source again. So I would encumber it with context.
> It's not fair to people who buy government funds

Are you suggesting our government should prioritize investors who buy government bonds over its own citizens (who at least in theory, would have to pay for those bonds in the future with taxes)?
And yet here I am with half a decade actual experience in 'Cyber Security', can write passable Golang, C, C++, Python, hands on, real world knowledge and experience of threat actors and APT TTPs, for Blue team threat hunting, IDS/IPS signature creation, incident response... etc.

I believe positive “antibody” test could hint to some chance of faring better “next time”.

But even that is still not clear.

It wouldn't need to be hard-capped, just something less than the runaway "collect as many samples as there are test subject arrivals" now.

>They could have done useful contact tracing at the press of a button, even historically, for every major event such as large concerts, churches, night clubs which we know were the most important situations to contact trace. They could have done this with the data they already have.

Apple definitely could not have done this because they don't have this data.
The “economic rights” category is awkward. There is no justifying delineation for this. The reality is poor people don’t have equal rights and never have. Poor people don’t even have basic rights, no matter how hard they work or how valuable they are to society. Poor people are not even allowed to cooperate with one another in mutual sacrifice of their own labor. This is just basic human rights, not a special category.
It strikes me that none of these are really novel problems. ML reduces the cost but otherwise the issues already exist. The current solution seems to be largely reputational - either interacting with identities that you personally trust or using a platform whose moderation you have some amount of faith in.
Heh, I worked on a site for a brand during the 2006 World Cup that did basically exactly this (although a PHP site, and a slightly rickety manual build process). They had bought pitchside advertising to be shown during the final, and anticipating enormous traffic which sadly never materialized. But we totally could have handled it!

Other over-optimisations on the same project included going all the way and including functionality to handle drawn lots as tie-breakers. This also never happened.
While that final conclusion might definitely be true, have you even considered how that exact behavior may already led us to a rather nasty reality?

A reality in which many companies might regularly get away with malice by just claiming incompetence? As if that should even have any influence on their (legal) responsibilities in the first place(?)

Assuming malice does happen, and I certainly think it does, at which point would you consider this approach willful ignorance? Would it not make one actually part of the problem, instead of just an observer?

More to the point, when is personal happiness more important than discovering the truth? Is the latter not a personal responsibility to anyone, given a capacity?
