But a warmer temperature could also be impacting outcomes, right? It seems to me that the temperature just needs to be both controlled and documented.
Good faith for who? To you and me and other people who aren't from there?

The fact that a public official felt comfortable calling masks a "personal choice" tells me that this district isn't a big fan of masks.
I still occasionally maintain a website for a school, with stats that'll horrify you.

Around 78% of browsers hitting the site are running IE8, and these will be parents making use of the portal to do stuff like check calendar dates, book appointments to see teachers, and check student grades.

We tried extremely hard to move the community onwards, including outreach to upgrade computers for families and so on. But in the end, they just don't want to move on from Windows XP because everything else is too confusing. Even if you make it look the same.

As for how often they're using the site... It's somewhere around 1/3rd of the parents hit it at least once a day using an outdated browser.

... Whilst their kids are using school-provided Thinkpads all running on Windows 10, or recent-ish school-provided iPads. (The school does all the maintenance on them as well).
> Early Android devices had removable batteries and most of the popular ones had custom ROMs that extended support for way beyond OEM updates.

how long is "way beyond OEM updates"? one year? two years? three years? five years? The main problem is that third party roms can only update so much. Without OEM support, you're not going to be getting updates for the proprietary bits of your phone. This includes blobs, baseband, and even the kernel (technically it's open source, but all android phones run off a customized kernel that's specific to that SoC. When that SOC gets EOLed, the updates stop coming).
I'm glad Snap figured out a way to profitability (and what do I know as an outsider looking in), but they don't have as much good demographic info as say Facebook, so they can't for instance show men's shaving ads to men only, which I recall made their sponsored stories very "most common denominator". I no longer use Snapchat and I used to be a daily user maybe 4 years ago.
Thanks for explaining this!

I have that domain blocked at the firewall so all I see is

I didn't fault them for not having a revolution expediently, I just think that with a 25 year divide there are thousands of ways things might have played out, there might have been a later revolution, another type of revolution (for example a friend of mine was a communist during the Iranian revolution and for a short time it looked like his side was in good position, but then Khomeini), not taking hostages etc. etc. therefore the revolution that came to pass was not a direct consequence, even if it was directly related.
Americans only seem to value freedom from government interference in their lives. There's far more control from schools, universities, workplaces, and HOAs. Many rights like freedom of speech are curtailed in schools and workspaces, for example.
I don't know anything about American term dates - but isn't it the middle of summer? Did they restart early or delay breaking up?
Is there no nuance to that CDC recommendation? Straight across the board regardless of local context, they recommend schools reopen?
Better tools for managing genomic information are probably out there, but if everyone picks Excel (or workalikes that all do automatic date formating too), then hoping people switch is tilting at windmills.

Unilaterally declaring you will not use names that confuse Excel will fix the problem (until we get new month names, anyway), and not require anyone outside their sphere of influence to comply.

I had the same situation at work, as an aquired company we had servers named devX, the new parent had servers named devX and pushed ssh config files to our laptops that made it impossible to connect to our servers; we asked them to fix it the first couple times, but eventually renamed our servers to vedX to avoid the issue. It wasn't the right solution, but it was a stable solution and let us get on with our lives instead of fighting with IT.
Part of their recommendation requires students and teachers to wear face masks whenever social distancing is not possible, but it's pretty clear that their recommendations are being cherry-picked here.

This is not good-faith compliance with CDC recommendations.

This is probably due to the fact that when we usually read, we just perform some kind of "pattern recognition" without even thinking about it: we just look at the first letters and the last ones, and our brain makes up the word as we read it [0].

Probably this font forces us to read letter by letter, and this is what makes it easier for dyslexic people to read the text (they don't get confused too much of the next / previous characters), and so difficult for people who aren't used to read letter by letter.

Interesting :)

It would at least need to be tested at both, you can’t guarantee the cooler temp isn’t doing anything.
The picture just adds to the ridiculousness.
We have multiple Jabra Engage 75 at work and I don't recommend them to anybody. Their software client has to be reinstalled every time we want to open it. It apparently has support for MS Teams but the pickup/hangup doesn't work anymore. It worked for like 3 months and then it suddenly stopped on all computers at the same time. This means we have to run to our computers when we get a Teams call instead of hitting the button on the headset. The mute button works at least.

We also use BlueJeans for communication with another company and it doesn't work for the first 10 seconds because you have to pickup the headset, hang up on the base station, then hold the pickup button for 5 seconds and then have to push the pickup button again for it to work with BlueJeans. Otherwise it's configured in telephone mode. The headset doesn't save this setting and you cannot make it to.

Muting also doesn't work in Blue jeans, but still switches the indicator light, which leads to confusion and we had more than one embarrassing instance of burping while in a conference with the company board.

Yes! This cool. How do you populate the DB with the clothing text and images?
Hmm... only takes one sick kid not wearing a mask to sneeze and I'll bet a fair few other kids get sick.
Besides the search utility, what features does the site have?
AFAIK even Chromium won't let you install an extension directly from a website. You must download it, keep it somewhere, turn on dev mode, and "load unpacked extension". It wont sync across browsers, etc.

Compare this to Firefox which will sign your extension and let you distribute it directly through your website with a user-friendly experience.
Or it means that the public official is just virtue signaling that they aren't a big fan of masks.

I am positive that this school has a dress code. For some reason, though, they feel that they can prescribe what students can wear, unless it's a mask..?
Of course there's some nuance to the CDC's recommendation.
Can't agree more on Intel CPU and AMD GPU combination. Ideally it'll be cousins of what Apple has used in their actual products, e.g. 8th gen processors and RX 580 or Vega 56 GPUs.

I've done it a couple of times and only takes an hour, with plenty of guides available on YouTube too. Especially if you need a high performance system, putting one together yourself can save thousands than purchasing from Apple.
Expel you and cause you to miss a grade. They can also place your kids into a remedial program which means they'll go to schools which are designated for problem children when they return. In addition the learning environment being worse, those schools can be pretty far out of the way for parents. Also, if you're expelled, you won't get to take the state/federally mandated tests. I'm not sure of the impact of this, but I think it can be pretty bad.
> On July 3rd, I reported this vulnerability to Google via their security vuln program. But on July 17th, Google closed the issue as “Won’t Fix (Infeasible)”, with the assessment that “there are no guarantees regarding the sender ID of SMS messages, and they are known to be spoofable.” While this isn’t wrong, it’s another thing for the OS to completely misrepresent the Sender ID as a genuine phone number. And clearly it’s feasible to fix, because iOS does not have this vulnerability.

> The bug, more precisely, is that Android extracts the numeric characters from the Sender ID, and tries to parse this as a phone number (with the phone’s local dialing prefix – +44 in my case). If it parses, the message is interpreted as from that number. For example, 7890X123456 also parses as +447890123456.

I might be wrong, but it seems like a simple enough bug to fix right? Maybe if there are non-numeric characters in the SenderID it should compare with your contacts _before_ parsing it? So that it would appear as from an unknown user not someone in your contacts? There's definitely more to it but it but it's a start
To drastically oversimplify, the FCC's position is: 1. we refuse to regulate ISPs, 2. nobody else can either

A look at other regulatory law, such as California's CARB and more stringent emissions standards than federal would seem to make Pai's position an uphill battle for the FCC.

By refusing to do his job and by revoking the Title II regs (in an arbitrary and capricious fashion, no less), Pai has opened the door to a much more complicated scenario where ISPs are at the mercy of state regulators and their compliance costs just got 50x more complicated. Obviously the lobbyists don't like that, but everyone involved has been behaving in an extremely short-sighted fashion.
Show HN: Founderpath – Raise $10k-$1m in 72 hours, free revenue analytics
Hey HN!

We're launching Founderpath today to help saas founders raise cash without diluting their company

Instead of a merchant cash advance needing to be paid back within 6-12 months, our standard deal is 15% interest, 4 year payback, $200k check

We get no equity, no warrants, no weird covenants, and don't require personal guarantees

This cash is way cheaper than if you were to raise from a VC (normally diluting your equity pool by 20%+ and losing a lot of control via a board seat and veto powers)

We're around all day today showing demos & answering questions over at https://www.producthunt.com/posts/founderpath

Hope to see you there!
Schools enforce dress codes all the time. No mini skirts, no tank tops, no sandals, no hats, etc. There’s zero reason why they couldn’t make masks mandatory.
There is a surprisingly small overlap between walkable neighborhoods and HOAs.

These are, in fact, battles you can pick. HOAs feel like living in an apartment but you're also the superintendent.
> There is no right or wrong when it comes to reopening, only unpopular and even more unpopular and it all comes down to who you're trying to please.

Which path forward "pleases" you the most? I can't believe this needs asking but: How many deaths are you willing to tolerate before you are no longer "pleased" by this approach? If one approach "pleases" you but "kills" someone else, how should we balance that tradeoff?
The problem with that logic, of course[1], is that "if we get it we get it" is a statement of personal risk assumption. It doesn't address the rights of the people you will then infect, who you didn't involve in the decision. Some of those people don't want to get sick! Realistically, some of them are going to die.

[1] Well, in addition to "Football player cases don't count" -- no idea what that's about. Was there a specific outbreak in that county on a team?

===

Edit to add a grand-response to this comment (because HN's rate limiter has kicked in, sigh) that illustrates exactly the problem with reasoning I'm trying to point out:

> this logic [...] assumes somebody has a right to not be infected while in a public area.

It absolutely does not.

What if some sick kid comes home and unknowingly infects a grandparent who never left the house and never entered a public area? That's a routine kind of spread, in fact.

> The responsibility for the risk [...] cannot simply be laid at a different person's feet.

No, this is exactly the fallacy at work! There is no "responsibility" in a pandemic. There is no "fault". Those are abstractions dealing with INDIVIDUAL behavior, and we can't beat this with individual decisions, at all.

If they're virtue signaling then by definition they're showing support for whatever the locally accepted opinion already is.
I know a shocking amount of innocent people who have been target of surveilance and criminal investigations or who even had their homes raided - in western european countries. Thankfully the courts are still working as they should, and all but one were fully acquitted.

It can happen if you are a political activist in any fashion. Nothing violent, just speaking out for rent control and against gentrification can get you in trouble. Or hanging around with the wrong people.

When it happens, you want to leave them as little rope as possible to hang you with. As I said, the courts still are honest and they won't make up evidence, but they will take everything they can find to make a case - and to learn about your structures and networks while they are at it.

You are right, that in real oppressive regimes all bets are off. If they want to get you, they won't stop at their own laws. But even then, these techniques are useful against industrial espionage. If you are doing business in certain countries, the "evil maid" is quite real...

HOAs provide some value, in some cases mowing, upkeep, and snow removal. I'd never live in a place with HOA dues/restrictions but for older folks who aren't as physically capable it can be really nice.
Very good points. Makes me think about a persistent web, what if every javascript code visible on your page could be edited and persisted between loads or visits or you could send a blog post link to a friend with your edits/comments/changed environment. Not arguing for that immediately, it's just interesting to think about.

Then what do you do when someone is demonstrating how to reset a page, whether that be document.body.innerHTML = "" or document.body.removeChild(main). They could be run in sandboxes, like starboard here in iframes. Or a powerful history tool can be attached to the page. Every program takes an environment as a parameter, maybe we can make it as easy to shuffle around them as playing with cards.

To really simplify it down, I'm exploring the space of digital workspace + shell. What do you get with a compute environment in OneNote or Figma or Sketchup. What do you get if you can position things in a freeform space rather than a filesystem and text based browser? Can I build a Sketchpad with code editing, and take advantage of viewport macros to build a space of my project and explorations?

Makespace.fun + jsfiddle/observable seems like an environment that I'd like to work in with myself, my collaborators and arbitrary content. To play with things like history and alternatives, and associations of material and ideas.

I have a good example of success of programmatic control of content and auto layouts working with my tiling window manager. Being able to explicitly describe compositions and demonstrating computational content seem to be targets not yet hit by the pop culture of personal computing.

I might be just blowing hot air with all this, but it is fun to play around with.

And so with Biden, should he win. Even a wave election won't produce a filibuster-proof majority. And as with Obama, they will filibuster every attempt at legislation, so that they can cite it as proof that the Congress doesn't work so elect them.

Surely, you mean "Qualcomm-inflicted wound"?

After TI left the Android SoC space, most OEMs and Carriers are beholden to Qualcomm, who write their own drivers and will never mainline them, if they can help it: long upgrade cycles will hurt Qualcomms bottomline, planned obsolescence via kernel incompatibility is how they achieve that. I don't think customers will upgrade from Snapdragon X05 to Snapdragon X20 for the minor gains in performance, if their old device could get the latest Android features.

How long is Apple's guaranteed support?
While I understand where you're coming from, I think "indefinitely" is a fairly impractical viewpoint in the sense of modern computing, particularly in the context of 1Password. Presumably you'll continue to update your web browser and your OS, which will at some point necessitate updates to the 1Password apps. For example, with Safari 13, which came baked in with macOS 10.15, Apple changed their entire extensions framework and retired the old one. 1Password 6 was built around the old one. So even if you have a license, and could theoretically install 1Password 6, if you're a Safari user it doesn't do you much good. Membership on the other hand would've included 1Password 7, where we implemented a Safari App Extension for Safari 13+ support. Just a counter-point for consideration. Also, for what it's worth, 1Password memberships become read-only when your subscription lapses, but you don't lose access. - Ben, 1Password

1. Defendant had more information

2. The extra information was so important it would increase the value of the case 50x (there are not very many pieces of information in an employment suit that would increase a payout by 50x that an employee wouldn't know about)

3. They hired a very expensive attorney because of this reason.(as opposed to for intimidation reasons)

4. Gamemasters attorney was inexperienced.

5. Gamemaster's attorney's lack of experience caused him to drop the case.

6. Gamemaster's attorney's lack of experience also led him not be able to give an accurate valuation.
