It's a good time for Amazon or Google to buy a Telco, Telcos valuations have lost between 25 to 45% since the beginning of 2020 [0]

I guess that a state owned company would willingly be sold by its owner because states urgently need money.

For example Orange sa (ex France telecom) is owned at 25% by the French state and French state just had passed a budget which is financed at half by debt (2021). Selling a company for $b30 would provide some relief in 2021 budget.

I'd imagine that ad26 is just the serotype used, and so if you used a different serotype for other vaccines that don't have much cross immunogenicity, you'd be in the clear.
This is a revolt against San Francisco in particular though.
I will care about Chrome being the top browser when people care about Windows being on 90%+ of consumer computers.
Completely agree! Google also plays a part in majority of websites. Pretty much every website has to call at least one if not two or more domains owned by Google. Analytics, DoubleClick, fonts... it's not looking healthy.
I dunno. It is what you've been taught.

Some people think Microsoft Word is a clunky native app, others that Google Docs is a clunky browser app.

Maybe they are both right.
IMO one if the biggest blunders of Moz was not having had the vision to champion the open web by becoming an alternative monitization platform like Patreon. The biggest reason why the open web failed and will continue to fail is not because of aggregators like Google, Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter but rather because there's simply no way for people to vote with their wallets. Moz was uniquely positioned to drive such a change between their market share independence affording them the opportunity to create such a market without drawing immediate regulator scrutiny as all the other browser players would have; their failure to do so will ultimately seal legacy and fate.

The report is from Zillow, it's easy enough to see the current inventory number. I just searched and it's at 1,849 in the city limits.
SF also charges a city income tax of 1.5% (flat rate).
Don't underestimate how Google is becomming the storefront of all retail on internet.

Google can now dictate which webshop is shown first in search results on a product level.

I know retailers are sick of this. They need Google to be found on the web but they don't like how Google is destroying retail.
> But cities have enduring appeal - proximity to people and culture and things to do

I think this is key right here. For the foreseeable future, those things won't be any more available in an expensive city compared to an inexpensive rural area. So why buy a 1 bedroom for $2 million or rent one for $3500 a month if I can do the exact same amount of networking and see the exact same amount of museums while paying significantly less?
This will happen for some text-based html renderers if the cross-out was done with CSS. But if it was done with <del>, it should work.
Well, in remote sensing it was mostly 8-bit data per frequency range, then each satellite or instrument by name (LANDSAT, GOES, SPOT, etc.) has its own file format.

Sometimes a CCD bit was stuck, so we would process around that, etc.

The terms "HDR" and "photo" are not commonly used.

The Perkin-Elmer military system has fortran source, so all the file formats are documented there (if you can get access), as well as a minimal Scottish university system.
Fair point. It does probably make sense to just strip the words out in this case as well.

I do want to point out that I didn't use those words fully consciously and I most certainly did not mean to imply the reader was ignorant. The only thing those words were signalling is that the action in question does not take much effort (once you know it).

If that is what you're trying to refute, you've presented an irrelevant example, so no wonder I was confused. A few agents breaking rules and being caught is not entire agencies running amok, and the rules they broke involved spying on non-Americans, so you have met neither standard.
A good idea would be to state fund Mozilla.
No, it's not faster than light. It can't be. You have to physically pass particles around to communicate, and those move at a normal speed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-communication_theorem

All quantum cryptography does is make the photons you send tamper-evident. You can use it to establish a shared key that can't be snooped on, and then use that to communicate using ordinary symmetric cryptography. Of course, asymmetric crypto does this fine, so unless you are very suspicious of modern asymmetric crypto you probably don't need it.

In big cities like SF and NYC a majority of people are on the summer lease cycle. Every summer you either have to renew the same tired old place for a 2-5% increase, or you jump to a new landlord and spend promotion/bonus/raise in a modern new building.

The past 2 months the streets in my NYC neighborhood have been littered with moving vans and my floor has all but emptied out.

In the sort of environment described, its pretty much guaranteed you'll be already managing EBGP sessions to the outside world.

So why not capitalise on the BGP knowledge you have and use it internally too, instead of bringing another protocol (OSPF) into the mix.

Is there anything that I can follow? I'm very interested in this -- I was considering making something similar myself.
Now that I'm not rate limited:

No, it doesn't. Where does that claim come from?

>The court above had found out that the FBI routinely didn't follow it

Follow what? You're confusing 702 collection, which requires showing that the target is a non-citizen outside the US communicating with the same, with querying of that non-American data for American identifiers, which merely requires sufficient documentation for oversight. You very clearly don't understand the article you posted.
You can't use entanglement per se to communicate at all:

Yep, I've read all that before. I didn't mean to focus the discussion on the resampling--what I was trying to get across is, this codec acts differently than codecs that have been extensively tested and ABXed at high bitrates for years. I didn't even mention other factors like how it injects noise into bands on purpose (where you can also find references claiming that's a benefit and not a downside, of course). It was about a year ago, but beyond my own ABX testing I looked around quite a bit, and didn't see many high-bitrate tests out there. All the focus seemed to be on the 64kbit range.

This should not matter to me personally, as I have proven to myself that pretty low bitrates are transparent to me, regardless of the codec. But... I have the same psychosis that a lot of people have, where I think I can hear differences when I know which is which.

If space were an issue I'd use 90kbit/s opus (that was the threshold for me in my testing). It's actually pretty amazing, but since I have the storage space, I archive FLAC and carry around 256kbit/s vorbis, and don't even question the quality. It's easier to use more space than to fix my faulty perception!
Yep that is to be expected when for a large part of the population the built-in browser is the Internet, and for many of those persons, AOL, FB are what Internet means on their universum.
>Trying to make voting electronic, regardless of it being block chain or something else, ensures that only a few people are able to understand the system.

This. Too many Internet/blockchain voting proponents tout their systems without appreciating the fact that people need to trust their elections. Trust comes from being open and scrutable. It's amazingly tonedeaf and elitist to insist that election systems need to be cloaked in cryptographic mumbo-jumbo to be trustworthy. It's also dangerous because the poll workers actually carrying out the election won't be able to tell when there's a failure.
This is also not the case in many real life examples of trans friends who readily are outgoing and make friends I see and know. I believe they were using that quote from something above that was mentioned as being a quote from autism spectrum disorder, and they were using it as a parallel. It's also not the case in many autistic friends, though. I know many close friends on the spectrum that are loud, outgoing and make friends very readily.
The average Joe doesn't want the nerds to pick the president.

Also, don't forget it's a secret ballot, and we do not have any good database of people with public keys in this country. What the hell am I supposed to make of a ledger with 100s of million anonymous public keys? Surely I cannot claim that relates 1-1 with the choices of real people.
I don't know if you remember the mobile news web around 2015 or so.

Content would furiously jump around as the page was overcome by advalanches, videos on autoplay would pop up in all the corners, as you scrolled, the page would often break at paragraphs as even more videos would load, secretly sliding in the content like some infestation. If you tried to highlight text to copy, you'd see interstitial popups of yet again more ads and then discover your clipboard was populated with ad after ad.

Then when you copied the URL, it was full of fingerprints and UID hashes from all these providers so it was hundreds of excess bytes, usually leaking personal information. You'd have to chop it off or just give up and share the extra tracking garbage at the end of the url

And this was essentially all of the local news sites. They were indistinguishable from the click here to download virus typosquatting sites. It was horrific. Often loading an article would lock up and crash the browser, it was totally completely unusable. This was the post-flash web that we all desperately wanted, here ya go!

I really don't like amp, but it has fixed that problem so effectively that you have to remind people in detail that it actually once existed.

Show HN: GradientMagic
Culture and things to do include a lot more than just networking and museums.

One example for instance is the vast amount of unique natural beauty surrounding the Bay Area.

Even rural places that have that are also expensive- though admittedly not nearly as much so. This is generally reflected in salary though.
What... No that is not same. Mozilla failing isn’t Googles fault, the opposite in fact, the’ve kept Mozilla alive for years.

Google misusing their position to dictate web standards, that’s Googles fault. But Google-centric standards didn’t cause Mozillas current problems. Poor management did.
Hey HN! GradientMagic is a side project that I launched roughly a year ago. It’s a large gallery of unique CSS gradients. You can browse the different patterns and copy the CSS with a single click, no login required. CSS gradients are often preferable to images since they are usually much smaller and easier to manage.

I would love any feedback or improvement ideas, but my real question is this: is it worth my time to try and monetize it? I’ve considered two approaches: (1) selling premium content bundles (2) subscription based approach w/ access to premium content and advanced features. I like (1) because it would be easier to implement. I like (2) because there is more value I can offer through advanced tools.

For reference, I get about 100 visitors a day right now with almost no marketing and very few updates (lately).

That’s why we need a regulator. The old AT&T monopoly was dismantled. Based on talking to IBM insiders, IBM actively neutered itself fearing a similar fate in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

But then, with Bush Sr and then Clinton, the rules changed; Microsoft started playing the political game, and essentially avoided a similar fate.

There is no antitrust enforcement anymore. Breaking a company once indeed only buys a little time. But getting regulation workiNg again WILL work, and will likely include breaking them.

If only the US would vote in politicians that cared about competition. I can’t find any amongst either presidential or congressional candidates, though.
No, and they don't care either. For instance, you can type in "car locksmith", and get an ad for $10 unlock in your area. If you click the ad, that offer disappears in the actual prices around $100.
This is an actual position, not a straw position.

The only way this person could resolve her discomfort at her child’s inclination to play with “girl things” was to start considering her a girl.

Meanwhile where are the “gender-progressive” people sticking up for a two-year old’s right to play with whatever toys they want without sanction or punishment? Certainly not raising any concerns about this sort of story.

Combine it with the well-documented higher incidence of gender nonconformity of cis gay people at a young age, we see many supposedly “progressive” people allowing the sentiment “better a straight daughter than a gay son” get normalized without challenge.
> It also seems plausible that SF has a unique combination of factors that put it in a bad spot right now. It’s insanely expensive, quality of life has been on the decline for some time, and the types of companies that made real estate there so expensive in the first place are also likely to be the ones that adopt remote work quickly and wholeheartedly.

I imagine people at the fringes in the city (and region really), born and raised, with local family ties making it harder to leave, might feel that this "bad spot" appeared some time ago.
AOL at least was pretty strictly a US phenomenon. Here in Canada it wasn't a thing, and it wasn't a thing in Europe or Asia. FB's tendril's are international.

What's worse is it's very walled off, it's not really searchable or properly indexed. FB's search facilities are a joke, such as they are, but they are only available to FB users. Information that goes in there is basically available to FB and to nobody else.

did you really spam the whole song here ?
This article argues that the mail-in ballots will favor Democrats, and that close calls on election night will turn into clear wins for Democrats once all the mail-in ballots are counted. With people being used to news media "calling" the election on election night, before the result is official, and with Trump calling the legitimacy of the election into doubt, it could get messy.

This is just not feasible in the short run due to huge costs of extra plumbing and other infrastructure changes. Hotel to housing conversions are much cheaper.
Presumably this has more to do with body composition/diet than weight, right? I.e. a muscular person with a healthy diet and normal amount of body fat but with high BMI is not at higher risk. (I'm not debating the merits of using BMI, I realize it is a useful proxy).

In layman's terms, the fatter you get the dumber you get.

A layman would also look at a country like say, America, where obesity has been on the rise for decades, and the population seems to get increasingly uneducated and insular, and deduce this to be true.
>Couldn't you have said the same thing 20 years ago and used "AOL" instead? There seems to be a large group of users who consistently fit this trend and the company names just get swapped occasionally

AOL was dominant (~30 million dialup subscribers at its 2002 peak) but didn't build any "sticky" products such as Facebook's social graph (a very valuable online Rolodex contacts database of real names). Each dialup user of AOL didn't interact with each other that much back then because the internet wasn't as central to life like today. Thus, switching from AOL access via telephone modems to cable broadband was easier than today's idea of switching away from Facebook's connected contacts. (E.g. Even Google with all its billions and web dominance couldn't get Facebook users to switch to Google+ in 2011.)

That said, I still believe Facebook dominance can be supplanted but it will happen by accident :

> and into kink, anime, and programming.

The anime one is an interesting example, because I've seen the perspective in the anime community is that trans people are also disproportionately common there, similar to your mention that anime is an interest that is disproportionately common among trans communities.

The common brightly coloured hair seems to come from the fact that society is not fully accepting of trans people and depending on the level of that in your social circles, it may feel like you need to break a taboo just to be yourself, so other social expectations (like modest hair colours) are also downgraded in importance.

Yes, although among (former) urban people I know, the difference is that for those who were at least toying with the idea of moving out of the city the current situation was the trigger to do something this cycle.

At its peak AOL had millions of users and the internet accounted for a tiny fraction of a person's life. The number of people who viewed AOL a "the internet" and the impact it had on them was a rounding error compared to FB's breadth and depth of integration into the very identity of it's userbase.
