Not only that, but modern Google Meet is significantly more useful to my day-to-day remote conferencing needs than Zoom. Modern Google Meet's advantages:

* It's nearly instantaneous to use. You can just bookmark any prior meeting ID you created and reuse it indefinitely. You just click the meeting on your bookmark toolbar and join the meeting. Creating a new meeting is also nearly effortless.

* Works right in your web browser. It doesn't default to pushing you to use a native executable.

* IMO, the video and audio both are slightly better than Zoom.

Google Meet or Hangouts from years ago was quite bad, but it has improved nicely.
I haven't read the case but he was likely paraphrasing Wickard v. Filburn when he wrote that since that's where federal judicial approval of that sentiment comes from. The idea that feds can regulate noncommercial intrastate activity in order to affect interstate commerce is way older than 2005.
Not much of a standard if Chrome invents it and everyone just starts complaining non-Chrome don’t adopt the ‘standard’ long before it’s official.
> You're talking about three different classes of device: PCs, phones, and IoT (IoS)/deep embedded.

Not really, Google applies the same disposable approach to supporting ChromeOS on bog-standard x86 hardware. I have an x86 Chromebox that Google suddenly dropped all support for - including security patches - with a generic message that "your device is out of its support window". This basically rendered it useless as a ChromeOS device, because you can't browse the public web with an unpatched web browser. Yet I can run up-to-date Linux in Crouton.

I don't see how this is technically any different than Microsoft deciding to stop all Windows 10 patches on PCs older than a certain age not because of any blocking compatibility issue, but just because they've passed a certain age threshold and they don't want to do it anymore.

I used to evangelize ChromeOS as a great, simple solution for non-technical users who just want to browse the web without the hassle of maintaining a full-fledged PC, but I won't do that if Chrome devices are part of the smartphone "time based support model" rather than the "compatibility based support" model we've had on PCs for decades. A PC for basic use can easily last 10 years, OEMs who arbitrarily shorten that are not helping their customers.
Biggest Landing Page Mistakes – and How to Fix Them

I saw a video somewhere of a pulse ox which would given fake reasonable reading if you put a pencil in its sensor. Just makes you think its working.
You're quite frankly leaping to conclusions quite a bit, as well as starting from the (rather flawed) premise that parsing a, what, ten-character string is so slow that it can slow an operation down by three orders of magnitude.

There are any number of reasons why the querySelector API would be computationally different from the getElementX ones, especially considering that they don't even return the same thing.

I do. We have to support Java applets (don’t ask) and 32-bit IE is the last browser left standing that supports them.

I added support for ES2017 bundles for compatible browsers for Instagram.com a couple of years ago - we saw a 5.7% reduction in the size of our core consumer JavaScript bundles when we removed all ES2017 transpiling plugins from our build. In testing we found that the end-to-end load times for the feed page improved by 3% for users who were served the ES2017 bundle compared with those who were not (more info here https://instagram-engineering.com/making-instagram-com-faste...)
Adam Ruins Everything also had an entire episode smearing the charity Toms Shoes. He goes an entire rant about how Tom's doesn't need to donate shoes because people in Africa can buy them if they need them - but he entirely leaves out that Toms donates custom made shoes for a specific medical condition (podoconiosis) that makes most shoes uncomfortable to wear.

There's nothing wrong with being skeptical or critical. There is everything wrong with selectively being critical and misrepresenting the situation.
The fact that one of those requires only a modern browser, and doesn't hide the browser access behind a dark pattern in favour of a software download which is a security dumpster fire, causes me to not worry quite so much about ultra-crisp video.
Subhead: Evidence showing Facebook is giving right-wing pages preferential treatment when it comes to misinformation

"misinformation strikes against Breitbart had been cleared by someone at Facebook seemingly acting on the publication's behalf"

"all misinformation strikes against Breitbart’s page and against their domain cleared without explanation"

"policy people have been intervening in fact-checks on behalf of exclusively right-wing publishers, to avoid them getting repeat-offender status"

"senior Facebook engineer collected multiple instances of conservative figures receiving unique help from Facebook employees, including those on the policy team, to remove fact-checks on their content. His July post was removed because it violated the company’s 'respectful communication policy'"
The same applies to the US. It would be extremely naive to think otherwise.

The US government/congress has one thing going for its ruling (and global reach): its control over all globally significant media platforms. The most recent example being that the congress could invite tech companies to testify before the congress and accuse them of political biases without much evidence ("why did Google censor conservative contents? My father can't see my political ads!"). If Tiktok were to succeed in the US, for the first time ever US lawmakers would not be able to exert influence on a social network with real reach to the US demographic. That would be terrifying to U.S lawmakers.

Separately, the comparison between China banning Google and US banning huawai, DJI, tiktok is moot: China set their (extremely authoritarian, no denying of that) rules, Google complied initially, censored search but decided it was too much and pulled out. In other words, regardless of the merits of the rules, China was applying the same rules to all companies. Google decided to not comply, others did not.

U.S. at the moment outright target specific companies, without specifying any rules being violated and in the process leverage its tech dominance in the private sector (app stores) to bully foreign companies to sell.

It's unfortunate that US has effective monopoly over tech platforms. Even the EU is toothless facing US in this space (GDPR).

Neat, the Google Camera phone is definitely amazing.

My reference is to the thing that's more important than cameras or any feature - Android One is about ongoing and meaningful security updates that are available to the devices in the same month that they are released.
yes, its called last.fm :)
It's pretty boring actually, mostly finding a dual source for all the components, even if you have to develop new suppliers and then moving the volume over as it ramps. Assembly moved to Thailand, sourcing moved to Taiwan, India and some from Vietnam and Brazil. The biggest challenge we have faced is that other countries do not have the amazing area of outside processing that China does and so samll engineering changes are more difficult.

It is an extremely blinkered view of history to look at each event as a totally isolated occurrence of individual actors divorced from any wider social context or developments. There's more than just a little self-exculpation at work when the Western Allied powers -- who initially financed Hitler's war machine, hoped he'd be a useful tool against the Red Menace, and even served as a source of inspiration to his eugenicist ideology -- downplay and ignore their own role as a handmaiden to Nazism.

Incidentally, in 1953 when the CIA carried out its coup in Iran it was basically run and controlled by people who had made a great deal of money financing the Nazi war effort and then imported a bunch of Nazi war criminals to work for Western intelligence and the space program.

I am glad to see that after my brief foray into Android years ago, switching away from that ecosystem was the right choice. I bought the original dual core Motorola Android phone. Remember the one that you could plug into a laptop type dock to make it work like a cheap laptop? The one that had the fingerprint scanner as its killer feature?

Yeah I went through six of them because the fingerprint scanner and the touchscreen had some kind of crosstalk that touching the scanner even accidentally meant it fired screen multi touch events. Also, Motorola stopped supporting that device in like a year, explicitly saying they will never update it to a newer version of Android AND you couldn't unlock the bootloader. And it was dog slow for any newer apps because of course it was running a stupidly old OS.

I know Android got better since, but between Samsung cramming more bloat into their devices and making that standard and Google dropping support for their devices like they have been, I don't miss any of that.
Firefox is way behind Chrome on this front. You can't permanently install a private extension in the release version of Firefox, unless you upload the source code to their servers for signing, and the unlisted extension complies with their developer policy.

Mozilla's stance on extension signing is hostile to users, there are several extensions that got remotely blocked for loading code from Google Translate [1]. This is software that you privately install for your own use, and Mozilla blocks it remotely in your browser.

They've also rolled out the new version of Firefox for Android which only supports a couple of extensions that they have whitelisted. I can no longer use the extensions I have developed and published on Firefox Addons, and I can only imagine the grief it is causing for less technical users that have suddenly lost the productivity tools that they've relied on.

They've also disabled about:config in the new version of Firefox for Android, you can no longer configure the browser that way.

Beware: if there are markets that appear uncompetitive, there is a damn good reason for it. And it's never becaues no-one thought to look there. If you do find uncompetitive markets, it'll most likely be because someone has regulatory capture, or there is something preventing new entrants, high barriers to entry, or the cost of user acquisition is simply too high for new entrants.

At the very least moss is beautiful. Personally I don't have a problem with "weeds" as Americans see them.

Since I'm just a student I think it's best if I defer to the textbook:

"If your service has a pulse oximeter, you should have a protocol describing when to use it. Generally this will include all patients complaining of respiratory problems or otherwise at risk for hypoxia. When used properly, the device can help you to assess the effectiveness of artificial respirations, oxygen therapy, and bronchodilator (inhaler) therapy."
Or, since they know some staff are infected, maybe call an all-hands mandatory staff and board meeting to discuss how to handle new cases... make it an all day meeting, in the smallest conference room taht could hold the number of people.

Plenty of water, no kleenex.

That's how it's done, right?
The vicarious baptism is going to happen regardless.
No it isn't. Perhaps it was intended to be and perhaps there was an allegorical meaning in earlier drafts, but the films are in fact perfectly straightforward.

Thanks
In the Healthcare world, computers frequently lag behind the state-of-the-art. Writing Healthcare IT webapps, we had to support IE6 up until ~2013. If your nation-wide pharmacy chain customer is primarily running IE10 on outdated Windows PCs they refuse to upgrade, your app had better be very well tested on that browser.
They don’t have to make their own CPU. They could use a CPU with a couple of years of guaranteed support. If Qualcomm doesn’t want to do that, choose someone else.
For who? The home owner or big-ag? There is no replacement that doesn't entail more work, hense the massive resistance to change. Entitlement. Who cares about the bees if I have to change my behavior.

For the home owner, you can use alternatives like vinegar, or even better, manual removal of dandilions, etc. Entire towns have gone spray-free, but that requires a team of dedicated people out there in the parks removing.

For big-ag, they don't have a replacement. They are way too dependent.

It's like asking what is the replacement for petrolium. A whole lot of pain and much extra work.

This is true and has been going for most of the recovery post 2010.

However with the pandemic and a significant amount of people moving out of the city, coupled with retail closures and bankruptcies hopefully this rent gouging will come to a natural end.

The NYC real estate market is going to shed quite a substantial amount of value over the next 3-5 years and very likely prices will drop considerably. Perhaps 30-50% especially at the high end. The lower end will be a bit insulated because of demand and also because the prices there haven't seen as much of a run-up as the higher end apartments.

Home owner associations or your average American Beauty style dystopia is much rarer outside the US because people haven't voluntarily locked themselves into suburbia.

In Europe the middle class generally moves into cities and not out of them where you're for the most part left to your own devices rather than being bullied around by activist neighbours or your church parish or what have you.
I mean just take a look at fiction, from Steven King's small town horror, to the Truman Show, or PK Dick, this sort of provincial clampdown on people is quite uniquely American. Between boyscouts and girlscouts and the cheerleading team there's not that much freedom left.

I noticed this most in my encounters with American college students abroad. They're like oversized children. It's quite striking how managed American life is. From school until the evening to clubs and on-campus living, into the nuclear family and then retirement in Florida.
Very useful feedback - Thank you. We run a startup, Thinknum.com, that scrapes all types of data for Hedge funds or business intelligence folks so we get the data from there.

Thank you for feedback.
Years ago I remember seeing a progressive image format that was supposed to solve the resolution issue. The loader could stop loading as soon as it figured it had enough quality. This meant that you could have a single, large image file, that could weigh a few KB when displayed as a thumbnail.

It’s 2020 and its mind-boggling that this isn’t a standard behavior already.

Imagine right-clicking on a thumbnail and being able to natively save a 4MB file from it.

Imagine having a single <img> that can be zoomed in all the way to 100% just like your phone’s Photos app can do, without loading the whole image beforehand.
I urge you to spend time reading the Wikipedia page of the golden state killer. Put yourself in the victims’ shoes. Imagine someone waking you in the middle of the night with a floodlight, shoving a gun in your face, screaming at you to lay on the floor while they put dishes on your back, saying “If I hear these fall, I’ll kill everyone.” Then he takes your loved one to the livingroom and mercilessly rapes her for hours.

The ethical argument cuts both ways. Not only did that scenario happen, but it happened fifty times. He was unstoppable by anything but DNA.

How, then, is it ethical to look someone in the eye and say “Your lover was murdered, and we could find who did it, but we won’t”?
Work from home: tips to stay happy and productive
Which is why if you want to defend against the easy versions of these and make people have to do work, only plug your desktop PCs into standalone outputs not on a surge protector.

Yes, it won't defend against cord cutting.

Edit: A more interesting defense I think would be to modify a surge protector for this specifically to defeat HotPlug. Only put your computer on a specific outlet and wire it so that if any other outlets complete circuit to kill power to the whole thing.

Glad Lemire is getting his shine-time on hn
That's not how I read it.

Anyway, here is my guess for the two questions:

1) The recommended temperature in the lab is based on other factors than the mice's prefered temperature. E.g. comfort of the scientists and technicians, spread of bacteria etc.

2) The temperature prefered by mice was determined by studying them in the wild or in the lab. E.g., if given the choice between two places of different temperature, which do they pick?

> Well, if they don't and you're responsible you've really messed up, but that does happen (cough). Just do a similar diff via information_schema to show you schema discrepancies.

Analysts with 1-2 years experience in SQL are often writing ETL. Responsible Data Engineers can't be there every time they deploy to production.

Yes, you can write your own tools for SQL QA. Making a standard tool that the entire company can and does use is another story.
Their track record seems to be more recent- earlier iPhone's were not supported nearly as long, from what I have seen.

While Google may end support as soon as they can, not all manufacturers do.
A bit of advice that I got that seems to be rather applicable here:

As an ally, you should be on the lookout for rules that are being selectively enforced. These are a core tool of institutionalized discrimination.
Thank you for this. As a new maker, I am trying to understand the market and how things work. My product has b2b and b2c (free) offerings and I would like to hope that it’s useful. But you are right, making it here should not be the main point of the business plan.

Or a non-sympomantic kid gives it to another, who goes home and gives it to someone immunocompromised, like _me_. If I get this, I have a high chance of hospitalization and all the organ damage and ventilator consequences and etc that the flu has no serious chance of causing.

Your 'not so bad' doesn't cover the real potential costs.
Who wants to bankroll me if I go create a rural ISP somewhere (probably Nevada/Utah/Arizona, where regulation is lax), become a local hero for providing broadband communication where the incumbents won't, then throttle/censor Fox/Breitbart (maybe requiring a "premium subscription" for access) and tell everyone who complains, "Hey, it's legal!"

Think maybe we could actually get the Republicans on board with net neutrality?
What is the hacking part here? This looks like how to set up a ground station.

Yes, you can diff to physically distinct databases. MySQL support is in progress.

There is a REST API that accepts the same parameters as in the UI and returns the diff results in JSON + optionally, materializes the tables in your DB with row-level differences.
Use case and what you value is what really matters here.
This seems unsurprising. People with dark triad traits tend to more easily deviate from reality based on the stimulus they receive, making them much more receptive to extremist propaganda of any political leaning.
Pre-covid 90% of my meals were delivery. Though to be fair I typically only did one order per day.

An HOA is typically formed by people who live in the neighborhood to allow a housing development to represent itself as a single larger entity instead of several smaller ones.

Like any human collaboration they can be awesome or terrible. A good HOA can manage resources for ammenities like pools and sports courts, they can help homeowners settle disputes over things like fencing and street parking. Like many volunteer orgs, they're run by those willing to volunteer - which are not usually the most capable at the job.

At the end of the day HOAs do get a lot of heat because they often enforce community guidelines on things like mowing your lawn and not painting your garage door to be the nazi flag. Like anything, this is a tradeoff - you may want to run a ham antenna in your backyard and be told you're not allowed.
