> What is this home video portal system on facebook?

https://portal.facebook.com
You've got to admit that's a pretty hyper-specific feature there. It shouldn't surprise you that many users haven't run into it. But a quick google finds an add-on for that: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/media-keys/ - does that do what you want?

Stuff like this is largely a matter of habit. You're used to chrome's details - so they make sense. But examples the other way around exist too - e.g. I'd find it hard to miss the picture-in-picture feature from FF when watching youtube in chrome. 'course, there's an extension for that too ;-).
I’ve made quite a few things _for love_! From websites that tried to quantify the love through stats (number of messages exchanges, seconds together, things we enjoyed) to text-based adventure games that were just reference after reference to ourselves and our relationship. Unfortunately because they were so personal I cannot share them as I don’t have the consent of the others involved, however I would say that from my experience, code is a fine form of expression of love and everybody who feels inspired should do it.
thank you for keeping SimpleNote free! I use it almost every day. it's so... simple!
Anyone remember forums? I have been floating the idea in my org that forums are so much better than slack/discord, and we have regressed in our communication abilities.

Topics. Sub forums. View unread, link to posts, quoting, attachments. Voting. Reply by email. So many great things came from forums.
> External connection != external control.

Exactly this. Even in security contexts, my Home Assistant-based security system is running fully-local object detection and runs automations when "Person" shows up in an unexpected place at an unexpected time. It emails me the offending image (thereby offloading from the camera) and records video locally. If it happens at night while I'm asleep it runs a sequence of turning lights on to scare them off and then wakes me up if it didn't work.

This is kind of a combo of local-only with a few pings to the outer world.
i mean, at least where I live many records about average and max temperature have been broken 3 years in a row now. I suppose if this continues it will actually start to be not unusual for this to happen.
Hence me toying with respeaker setups. I'd rather have no voice control than have big brother voice control. Google already knows more than enough about me (gmail primarily)

This to me sounds like it's a mechanism to cause one's mind to open up more, perhaps useful if one is dependant on alcohol to access a more open mind state and critical thinking, however alcohol is a depressant and so it will actually depress thinking; I suppose it's possible there is insight to be gained by contrasting the more depressed state with the normal baseline.
This sounds a lot like tribalism. The left-wing people coordinating an attack on the right-wing people to win some battle. Isn't human communication on a global scale slightly more nuanced than that?
Is there any reason the manufacturer couldn't have simply supplied an additional box you put in your home, that has all the storage and processing to do all that? The only thing the manufacturer would have to do is provide a dyndns-like service.
I believe Norway has similar rules, i.e you should be able to travel here from anywhere as long as you have some kind of residency.

As far as tourism is concerned, the government has divided European countries into two groups: traveling from "red" countries requires a mandatory quarantine upon entry, traveling from a "green" country does not mandate a quarantine. AFAIK all non-European countries are considered "red", meaning quarantine on entry.
No, I know what a system operator is which is why I'm asking the question. It was a fair assumption though to assume I was talking about the utility level of granularity though.

As far as I know, all ISO's in the USA use either ABB, Siemens, or GE for their market optimization software (huge systems) or basically those same vendors plus a few more for their EMS systems. There are also plenty of other amazing products for transmission planning, short term studies, and transient stability studies. More specifically, how are you linked to the system operators? When you say you optimize the grid, that could mean any one of a thousand different things. Are you providing various inputs (forecasts, risk factors, etc) that are used by some markets? Please note that I'm not questioning that y'all work with some of these entities in some fashion, I'm just trying to get a better handle on the specifics of where y'all are plugged in.
The most recent, randomized studies of the NYC metro area finds SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in about 14% of participants when they randomly solicit people directly. Prior studies put out ads looking for participants, naturally drawing in people who "had that unexplained thing a few months back".

Even when directly appealing to people the participation rate is likely higher among people who suspect they may have had it.

We know that testing was very limited early in the outbreak, when NYC was hit, and that it caught only a fraction of the people infected. But all metrics are that there is still a huge victim base in the area.

The drop is more likely entirely behavioral.
I haven't read the article in full yet and only skimmed it. But a lot of the challenges I think still apply and what they seem to suggest is to start off bootstrapped, rush to getting operational, break even as quickly as possible and fail fast if you can't. Then grow from there yourself or by taking on investor money to accelerate it.

For problems that not inherently need a lot of up front investment, for me this approach always appeared to be much saner than scaling first, burning trough more and more money and only maybe somewhere down the line find an economics of scale business model that works.

Or am i misrepresenting what the article is saying?

Also, regarding the getting outpaced by someone with tons of VC rocket fuel if you don't want to take their money yourself. I think there will always be room for more "boutique" products that are appreciated by customers as well as the people making them for their focus on quality and reliability, instead of taking over the world. To be honest, as a customer I have largely abandoned typical start up products, because at least for my use cases and preferences they tend to just not be very good and trustworthy no matter how much cash they have on the bank.

What software are you using for object detection? I'd like to extend my Home Assistant setup.
No, "learning physics is easy" is a flat out lie. For some it will be very frustrating depending on the path they take.

"Most people give up" is probably the truth. People don't want to put in the effort.

Another truth is that many people never recover from finding that some fact of physics strongly contradicts their intuition. That is what flat earth is all about: people just cannot accept when their intuition is wrong.

We're letting in film crews, so this could be seen as a brain drain of Hollywood. James Cameron moved his family here from LA before Covid so that's more to do with Weta Digital and lifestyle etc.

It was a strange and glorious time.
> And if weed became illegal again?

“became...again”? When did the federal prohibition of weed end?
Did they fine the management responsible for the decisions around these systems? Incentives matter. If you’re not exposed to the consequences, you’ll optimize for your comp and parachute out somewhere else when the shit hits the fan.
I have a website that I once coded for love. I don't want to share details because of my identity, but I loved a distant woman. We had strong affection for each other but at the time the romance wouldn't work for many reasons. The website mirrored something she worked on (similar to a fashion blog, but not that subject - again, identity) and I made this one in a few hours and sent it to her. She loved it.

Three years later, we're together - and couldn't be happier.
I am so with you. Even more common acronyms can benefit from being written out.
The exception being Ada compilers, but then again most don't get to use them.
I can't even get Google Assistant to reliably work for commands they claimed to have rolled out years and years ago https://i.imgur.com/ucmKl5l.png. I would literally never trust Google Assistant with anything remotely near my safety or security.

> There are all sorts of foods that are terrible from a health perspective, but get grandfathered into a culture because they became popular before science really caught on.

Yes and no. There is some element of an inherent scientific method involved in having cultures eat various foods for tens of thousands of years and then seeing which ones are still around at the end of the “experiment”

I'd say, for now. The problem with a virus that's contagious like this one is that non-pharmaceutical interventions are just bandaids. The moment someone makes a mistake (and it might happen even in the best scenario, we're all humans), the virus might appear again in the community.

You need pharmacological means to fight it. Not necessarily vaccines, also drugs (which might be available earlier than a vaccine).
The young-uns didn't get much out of the article, it seems. If you've been around a certain amount and variety of management failures or conflicts, you can see how much depends on the personality dimension of risk aversion. We often need to step back to understand that being courageous is rarely valued outside the military.
I haven't observed the same in India. Most people prefer to go home after they finish work with 15 minute of conversation with their co-workers. I would guess only young people and startup mandate a social drinking event here. It also differs from states since some have ban on alcohol consumption or see it in negative light.

Google did this with “we don’t scan your emails for ads”. Initially, 2009 ish, that was a big line a lot of people cared about but years later here we are, Google scanning emails for targeted ads and that fight is over.

EDIT:

Thanks for the reply exittheone, I see GMail actually stopped this ad scanning practice in 2017[1], likely with google sign in on chrome and so many places it’s very possibly they just don’t that extra info. They still can let third party extensions read your email so I wouldn’t say we’re exactly in a better world...[2]

I agree that listening to expert advice over your gut is the right thing to do.

But that’s besides the point—-learning to trust expert advice is a brain behavior that has to be properly learned. (For example, many of us have learned to catastrophize and over-generalize, where bad advice from one expert suddenly translates into not listening to all future experts).

I’m imploring: do not dismiss your gut, folks! Please continue to use brain, but stop dismissing your gut.

“I think therefore I am” is oversimplified bunk.

Flip the script: we may want this sort of thing to be happening more, not less, on a global scale. When we want to help developing countries, this is one of the most effective ways to do so. We should just be smart and restrict this to more-values-aligned, more-development-left-to-do countries like India, Rwanda, etc.
this is a lie. I work for AWS and directly work with the partner in China. They do not get our source code, we build supporting tools for them to operate our software. I repeat, they do not get our source code.
Your gut is where prejudices, racism, nepotism, and a whole bunch of other bad shit resides. What the gut optimizes (reducing threats, reproduction, getting food, etc) is very frequently selfish short term thinking.
Rheumatoid Arthritis:Symptoms,Causes,& All Whatever You Want to Know
I can't imagine the pollution death numbers to be directly/trivially correlated to pollution: pollution in a single place varies, victims move between places and pollution kills slowly, so it's not psychologically considered an urgency. Covid19 kills quickly, so it is trivial to establish correlation and causation: I would say that the world's response to Covid was driven by the narrative on social media.

If you are asking why humans as a species are not smarter than they are to see through short/long term effects, well, beats me :) But I still don't want my close ones to contract coronavirus, so I am still largely social-distancing. But I only hope to get an electric car in a couple of years.

The same happened with my comment yesterday, but I refrained from complaining, later I got some upvotes. As of my last 10 year experience on HN, the average HN crowd I know will just read such comments and slide to next one.

I've been developing something very similar myself, with Rails also! I don't have any plans to open source it at the moment, but I might at some point.

Yours definitely looks far better than mine, UI-wise! As I'm only one person, and I don't have much time to dedicate to mine, I've just done some basic styling of tables, etc. so that it'll work on mobile with relative ease. However, it's something that I can progressively work on.

12 ozs in your coffee...ohhhkay. What a dumb article.
TL;DR We had it under control, but we are losing control. So we need to take action now (limit importation of new cases and new local spread) before a new lockdown is needed. Hence the holiday (from social distancing measures) is over.

The problem is that Norwegians have essentially had a vacation from worrying about Covid, since there has been more or less no new cases since May-June. This has made the Norwegian population more relaxed, meaning more social gatherings have been taking place, bars have reopened, etc.

However, during the summer months there was some tourism to and from other European countries, which seems to have caused a potential new outbreak of Covid.

So, when the health minister says "I think most of us have now understood the holiday is over" he means that it is time to start thinking about social distancing, thinking about work-from-home policies and your personal hygiene again.

Those that you’re thinking of were likely “rotaries” which have some major design, functional, and qualitative differences as compared to roundabouts. Size, travel speed, and enforeced entry angle are the main differences between rotaries and roundabouts.

And then to confuse matters further “traffic circles” are common as traffic calming devices on the west coast. These are also round, but are very small and do not have a splitter island preceding. They usually sit in the middle of small residential intersections.

Also, sometimes rotaries (the largest, fastest, and most dangerous of the trifecta of round traffic things) are sometimes called traffic circles, which are otherwise the smallest / slowest traffic device.

If all that is confusing, well, you’re not alone. My feeling is that roundabouts and traffic circles are good, but rotaries are just highway interchange supercolliders. Removing them from the northeast was very good.

REPL-driven development is wonderful.

Clojure does have notebook solutions which are worth looking into:
* https://github.com/clojupyter/clojupyter
* https://github.com/jsa-aerial/saite
* https://pink-gorilla.github.io (WIP, but is growing fast and going to be magnificent)

Some other projects are trying to connect the notebook idea with the REPL+editor experience. For example:

Drivers should have all their car exhaust routed back into the car where it is filtered by their lungs before being expelled.

I commend the rustc team for taking this lineage seriously in developing Chalk[1] and using differential-dataflow for the next borrow checker. If they combine those into a differential-dataflow-powered Chalk it will be very formidable!

I watched a bank CEO claim the security of their customer's data was the reason it was tightly controlled and API access was only available to their trusted partners for the purposes of running credit checks and other things that make the bank's own life easier. They also followed that up with a spiel about how open to competition they are.
* Aerosol COVID risk is basically proven, but we don't know if it is a major mode of spread. It does seem to be related to superspreader events.

* Deployment of air purifiers would be a trivial expense relative to any other economic harms of COVID19. It's mostly a question of policy catching up to science.

* Large droplets are a confirmed major source of spread. Cloth masks help reduce those. They're not full-proof even there, but they're $2. It's a no-brainer ROI.

* Even with aerosol, the risk is reduced by cloth masks. Some aerosol comes from large droplets evaporating.
Ye, I agree. As a note, schools up to 15 y.o:s were open so photos of those should show a lot of pupils.
Even if calling them is not dangerous, it seems like it'd have to be extremely reliable to not cause a problem. If a large percentage of people have similar devices, it seems you would have to have a low false positive rate for the police to not be spending an unreasonable amount of time dealing with auto-nuisance calls.
