Recommending Docker in these discussions usually gets me downvotes (?), but I'll do it anyway because it's such an easy way to develop and run Python programs across environments:

1/ add a Dockerfile into your project with the following lines:

FROM python:3

WORKDIR /usr/src/app

COPY requirements.txt ./
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt

COPY . .

CMD [ "python", "./your-daemon-or-script.py" ]

2/ install Docker on your various environments

3/ git clone, docker build, docker run and that's it

I'm saying supranational instruments like this is designed to influence behavior beyond the borders of the origin country, to said countries interests. Countries have different interests and capabilities, so who the target and how they sanction will be different. US uses SWIFT because only she can, Russia publicly assassinates while denying with a wink, China is... just calling for arrest so far. It's not particularly credible outside of diaspora chilling affect because many countries will never accede to it. The important highlight is that China is formalizing it's supranational toolset. Like this list is no where near GuoWenGui / Miles Kwok tier of irritant for CCP, but China was only trying to arrest him via Interpol in 2017.
Really this move seems nothing related at all to US companies not having sufficient access to China. If then why this 10 year gap from action to reaction. Many here seems to take this particular view of this move being a retaliation of some sort, but I feel that is a naive view of what US is doing here and how it will be perceived around the world.

Put in specific data protection/privacy laws and regulations applicable to all players, not hound a single company without being able to prove any wrong doing in their part, or offering them a fair, due process.. it seems all arbitrary, discriminatory.. wrong in principle.. yet seems to cheered on by some, merely because it gives a semblance of going one up over a perceived adversary.

Retaliation or not, it is essentially arbitrary act, insufficiently justified in an open society.

International politics being driven with the ethos of a school playground.
Agreed, and even then, doesn’t cancer “just happen”? There’s a BRCA2 gene defect in my family (that I’m lucky enough not to have inherited) and that increases the likelyhood of developing breast cancer to 80% for women and prostate cancer to ~20% for men. But to the best of my knowledge, everyone has an innate %, just by virtue of being alive.
you support censoring technology topics on a technology forum?
While I agree that the name is unfortunate and problematic, the bike shed reference was intended to be a metacomment pointing out no matter what people post on HN, it is inevitable there will be a gripe about that project's name.

edit: and there seem to be larger problems with the developer and the project altogether considering other comments posted here.

ick, but the author has every right to be icky.
Frankly, the title is absolutely idiotic. This article describes a way of studying drugs that have already been approved by the FDA for other indications as potential cancer drugs. A vast majority of these drugs will fail or do no better than current treatments which involve butchery and poison. The article is basically worthless and I have no idea why it has even a single upvote from this community. None of this has been shown to do anything for patients.
If a mock interview averages 30 minutes from start to end, including the time to get on the call and take notes and give feedback, that's 30,000 hours of mock interviewing. Working 8 hours a day that's 3750 workdays, and with 261 working days a year that means you've done mock interviews full time for more than 14 years? Are the interviews super short? I feel like I'm missing something here.
Sorry, under what legal framework does the Executive branch of the US government "ban" an app, and what does that look lik, i.e. what actions does it take, and has it ever happened before?

T-mobile is a joke. I lost my @simon Twitter account [0] because of T-mobile's and Twitter's utter incompetence, and it took me more than 3 months to regain control of it.

The way the attacker gained control of my phone number should have never been possible. I'm still a customer, why? Because there's no better alternative in the US, although I'm pondering Google Fi at the moment. Thoughts?

That other stuff is happening as well.

But I am see meaningful results, whereas Occupy got nowhere. Other BLM activism got nowhere.

I would be very skeptical of the self proclaimed woke people, who appeared because .... he cried for his mom? Sports were cancelled?

But because they can't get a boozy brunch, they are paying attention and suddenly, in some municipalities, things are changing for law enforcement, and the word of that and what is possible is spreading to others.
There is a segment on HN that reflexively down votes things criticizing china. I've noticed it in my own posts.

I love how Gibson compared it to Stephenson's burbclaves, which to me is like the literary equivalent of a famous musical artist singing the "Weird Al" Yankovic version of their own song (which has also been known to happen).
They’re banning TikTok because they don’t want a Chinese company having direct access to the location, camera, and microphones of hundreds of millions of Americans. I have the app installed and have all those permissions disabled.

I understand that it seems unfair but I get where they’re coming from given that China isn’t exactly a saint when it comes to spying/civil rights.

I think it Microsoft agrees to take ownership of the data and protecting it, it doesn’t make sense to ban it. I’m surprised Verizon or Twitter hasn’t stepped up with bid
It would not be "decentralized". It will still be centralized, however the "master" will not be a government, but a private company.

Thinking about the area, haven't the majority of Far East countries since independence been effectively one-party states? Some have been "democratic", but with the same party winning the elections every time.

Singapore and South Korea could be seen as examples of successful "planned economies", but from a rightwing-authoritarian point of view with a Western-orientated politics.

Probably the best predictor of if you're going to be upset about people having more than you if you've got $10M is if you're upset about people having more than you when you have $100k.

There will always be people who have cooler stuff than you. If you get upset about it when the cool stuff isn't like stable housing, food security, and decent transportation, the problem isn't lack of funds, it's your attitude.

Yes, I would love to read a detailed article about what this entails

I think a big donation like your's to where you think it'll do the most good is far better for society than giving that money to the government.
I'm completely with you. This is embarrassing and I want to remind you the majority of people did not elect Trump.

I can only hope that this never happens again.
>Disconnect the pedals, attach electric motor, bam: cryptographically-signed leaderboard cheating.

...thanks for repeating what I wrote in the fifth sentence, I guess? You could have at least mentioned steroids or something which I didn't cover which would also be easy to use there. But the fact is that like so many things level of effort required matters. Some people will try to cheat anything at any level, either for the rewards or even for the meta challenge of cheating itself. But when talking Big Numbers, millions of people using something, it can still be a big difference if it requires significant effort to cheat vs something trivial, and crypto signed data does raise other active response options too. Even in the electric motor example, is the electric motor output identical in cadence and so on to a human? Does the cheater use it the same way every time? Because if not, that may show up and they can be banned and leader boards recalculated. And cheaters could try to respond in turn, but having to try to hide things via physical systems would be trickier then pure software.

And at any rate, I was taking the poster's concern I was responding to as a given. My point was that even then, I don't think that open APIs are in conflict with doing as well as can be done from the electronics side. It's fine to also say "well, I just don't care about cheating and/or our group would socially moderate it" which I also tried to mention, merely signing an open API wouldn't get in the way of that either. It'd just be an extra open data point to use or not use as a given community wished.
If you want to get rich and are reasonably intelligent/motivated, the best investment you can make is in YOU. With that much money you have the freedom to not earn income whiling attempting to start a business or join a higher risk venture.
Invest in structured investments, the same ones used to buoy annuities. All the upside, less risk overall than most investments.
Your sentence contradicts itself. How can you make less than $38,600 when you're making $75,000?

Also note that long-term capital gains are also taxed at the same rate as qualified dividends, but can be deferred into the future. Your argument doesn't seem to advocate for the thing you think it does.
also, you can choose not to use the module system entirely, and just `go get` packages the old-skool way.
The US isn't a monolith. Shareholder certainly benefited from lower manufacturing costs, but people employed in dying industries suffered enormously. Maybe in a hypothetical world where the profits were shared equitably, that would have been a good deal for the US as a whole. Seems to me like a case of moral hazard - investors are making decisions that affect the long-term health of the country without bearing any of the consequences themselves.

It's not that simple. Sometimes you go to two or even three doctors and they don't take your symptoms seriously. "A mild cough is nothing to worry about, lots of people have mild asthma and don't realise it, have an inhaler", "Everybody gets headaches, it's not abnormal", "Your blood results are perfect", "The X-Ray came up clear". You end up feeling like a hypochondriac. Most of the time the doctors are right. Twice in my life I was convinced that something was very wrong (and thankfully it wasn't)

Of course, sometimes the doctors are wrong.

In the last year I lost my sister and our dog to cancer. In both situations, cancer want diagnosed at first. In the case of my sister, the doctor assumed "women's problems" - irregular bleeding, bloating, cramping etc. But the diagnosis came pretty quickly afterwards because it was a very aggressive cancer that soon triggered blood clots, fluid on the lungs and a bunch of other stuff. They could do nothing for her, and catching it earlier wouldn't have helped. It ate through her in about 6 months. The oncologist was up to date on the latest treatments and was discussing her case with the world's best (because she was only 44 and had just had a kid, they did everything they could).

With our dog, there wasn't a diagnosis for weeks, while he gradually deteriorated. We have an amazing vet, but nothing showed up in tests (blood work, x-rays, physical exams). The only hunch we had was that pain killers seemed to ease his breathing issues - so we took him to get an MRI and found it. We choose to spare him from the pain (he had a very happy 10 years, and wasn't the type that could handle chemo and operations - it would have been incredibly selfish to put him through it for... What, maybe 12 months of health before it comes back?)

Thing about cancer: sometimes it's treatable and sometimes it's not. I have a whole new respect (read: "fear of") cancer since last year.
Last I heard hudl.com runs on C# and linux using Mono.
The thing is, people really mistake the Wild West days of a market with the mature days. People were saying the same thing about Windows, for example, back in the 1990s. Stuff like:

"Back in the day we had Commodore and Amiga and many other platforms that slowly died, Windows will go their way. Unix will outlast it and kill it off."

30 years later and you could base a Fortune 500 company off of Windows, alone.

Same story with Facebook. People are comparing things to the pre-Facebook days without realizing that social media is a lot more mature now. They're presenting Snapchat as a failure when it's still growing (in users and revenue), Orkut as an example of a rise and fall when it was only popular in Brazil, while Tik Tok is global.

Tik Tok seems to have carved a niche in a pretty mature market. That's hard to do.
If I were to fork it and remove offensive names and comments, it seems I would be best to obliterate/ignore the revision history.

Various index funds.
Right now is a challenging time to invest.

In general I would lean towards well managed active funds versus pure index funds. The markets are in a time that a good active manager can get you some added return.

With that said I'd probably lean towards something like the all-weather portfolio. See:

https://www.iwillteachyoutoberich.com/blog/all-weather-portf...

Note: this portfolio does cost you some potential upside in good market conditions but with less down risk.

Disclaimer: I am a big fan of Ray Dalio who came up with the all weather portfolio. I have 7 figures in such a portfolio. For the equity and bond portion I use Vanguard active funds.

Directus – Open-source headless CMS and API built with PHP
Hi HN. I was taking a break from a work project and continued some research on open-source CMS solutions that we may use for a nonprofit that I'm working with.

While doing that, I came across Directus when reading the comments section from a submission about the Strapi CMS[0].

After reading through their documentation[1] and Github the solution looks pretty nice (personally, it appears to fulfill our requirements for our nonprofit!).

I figured I'd submit this since it doesn't appear to have been discussed much previously on HN[2].

Anyhow, check it out!

> A simple fix is to just use the previous power value if ever: the cadence is non-zero and the previous power is non-zero and the current power is zero. A slight improvement is to keep track of the slope and factor it in when calculating the predicted value.

Looks like somebody rediscovered the Kalman filter without realising it :)

I recall implementing one for an IoT device, to de-noise gas sensor readings a few years ago.

Why in the world would you allow them to swipe your id?
Craziness.
I had to figure this out recently, a couple things that really helped me are Erin Catto's GDC lectures (particularly [1]) and Allen Chou's game physics articles [2].

I think of a Jacobian as a way to transform the velocities from however they're stored for the interacting objects into linear world-space velocities.

For example, in 2D rigid body physics, rotational velocity is usually just a single number representing how fast something is spinning. Given a radius from the center of a spinning object (e.g. object origin -> a contact point in world space), the instantaneous linear velocity is the rotation speed times the tangent to that radius. Therefore, the Jacobian is just that tangent vector - multiplication by that vector transforms scalar rotational velocities into 2D linear velocities. The Jacobian for the object's linear velocity is just the identity matrix.

The rotation Jacobian is more complicated in 3D and 4D, but the principal is the same - find a matrix (at a particular point, usually the contact point or the joint location) to multiply with whatever represents rotational velocity to get the linear velocity.

Holding on to the back of a truck would be cheating.

Self reporting only works so far. Leaderboards should be connected to in person events with judges/rules if accurancy is important.

At a previous workplace that showed similiar stats the focus was on personal breakthroughs and personal goals. Leaderboards existed within small groups who met up in person and rode together.

The problem with the Chinese government/legal system is well known for long and most Chinese people wish it can improve over time.
It is weird to see that some people in the US wants to celebrate and justify the deterioration of their designed-to-be-perfect system.
I worked for a company that provides web and app tracking (kinda like google analytics, but more granular data and user metrics). Any Chinese prospect that engaged with us had to use a myriad of proxies because the Chinese govt blocked our American servers. Also no Chinese prospect ever paid a dime. They would beg for extended trials and bring engineers in to ask questions about the software, requesting server side code, all the while they attempted rip off our product, after a year I became ‘too engaged’ with other projects to pursue opportunities with Chinese companies.
I should have been clear that the idea about guns is what conservatives believe, not that I think it is correct.
It would be illegal if Robinhood did the front running. They don't. Instead they sell your trade to a HFT firm to execute. What do you think is going on at the other side of that trade.

They're dancing around the legal definition of front running, and they've gotten their hand slapped in the past for it. (E.g. they were fined $1.25M in 2019 for actual front running per the legal definition.)
Psychological reasons. Retail traders performance chase, selling things when they have temporary (multi-year) losses and buy when they have temporary high gains. It's incredible how strong it is even for people who are somewhat knowledgeable about finance like Bogleheads. It's also been studied by Jack Bogle himself. There was a famous study comparing Value vs. Growth stocks he noted where retail traders who invested based off either ended up doing worse than just holding both because in aggregate they kept buying the one that recently did well and then selling it when it had done poor. Buy high, sell low.

I've heard from a Flywheel customer who's been following the case closely that the discovery phase was very damning for Flywheel – blatant theft of Peloton's corporate documents, including things like proprietary operating details, internal financials, projections, & future plans, with direction & understanding of Flywheel management/investors, feeding directly into Flywheel's plans.

So it was bigger than just a patent case, and Flywheel, caught red-handed, had no choice but to settle to Peloton's satisfaction.
