It's definitely not the responsibility of auditors even if you explicitly ask them to do so.

In essence, the auditors are there to evaluate whether certain assertions are true. E.g. the company is asserting that they are doing X because they have a policy that X must be done. If it turns out that the internal communication within the company is screwed up and some teams are following the policy and some are not, then the claim is false and the core job of the auditors is to detect and note this. Detecting such discrepancies the main reason for why such an audit (often external,, and if internal, then mostly independent, not reporting to the audited departments) is requested. It's not their job to fix this or decide who's in the wrong - the initial claims are found to be false, and that's not okay no matter if the policy should be changed or will be changed. It does not matter how (and if) the company negotiates changes to the policy, it does not excuse the misleading claims of "X is being done" if actually the company is doing Y instead of following the stated policy. When the management has fixed this (or claims to have fixed this) one way or another, then the auditors should re-evaluate whether the claims are true now.

I don't know that the details about the drug market are particularly important here. This is just another tragedy of the commons effect. Drug resistant infections are a "problem" (a very severe one to those suffering), but they're an economically insignificant problem. So no one is willing to pay enough for new/unresisted drugs to make it worth their development.

There are plenty of straightforward ways to get these drugs to patients. They just aren't ever acceptable to the people regulating research funding and the drug market.
They don't have to launch on BO, they can use any launch provider.
Thank you for describing option 1, which is really what I was picturing but seemed ambitious enough that maybe nobody tried it.
Fighting to pass a carbon tax or green new deal is even less impactful than supporting b corps since those things will never get support from the corrupt political class rolling in what are essentially oil dollars.
Console vendors aren't allowed to sell hardware at a loss. The price increase would be mild… and a truer reflection of the costs of owning a console (less hidden costs from the walled garden aspects).
That mapping is going to happen though regardless if it is a headless or real-user interaction. I don't think these tools are going to help with mapping unless you know what kind of interaction you want to simulate, and be able to map the entire interaction. I think tracing and logging tools would be a lot more useful and appropriate for those types of scenarios. I do think they can help with e2e testing, just not inline with the frameworks you mentioned.
The config files for this are well commented and explained. Great for someone new to emacs. Which I suppose is exactly who Mousemacs is for.

Trading a centralized proprietary platform for a different centralized proprietary platform. Sounds familiar somehow.

Beyond that, Discord is not really the same thing as Reddit. It's true that
reddit tried to compete with Discord by offering their own chat service when
they realized that many communities also had a Discord server, but they don't
really offer the same service.

Discord is IRC, reddit is BBS/usenet/PHPBB.
If anyone from Reddit wants to get an idea how annoying these ads are: I'm using old.reddit.com instead. On a phone. Think about that.

We're happy customers of https://postmarkapp.com/ They only do transactional emails, not bulk like newsletters or such. No free tier and you can only start sending after proving you've done API requests (thus filtering non-developers I think). They put customers on alert ("you will loose the ability to send emails" when spam report rate is over 0.02%. Support was fast and friendly when we needed it.

Edit: Apparently there is a free tier (100 emails per month). We went for the $10 for testing, it's cheap.

So sustain it non-commercially. Governments have purchased medications in the past, often for exactly this kind of reason. We stockpile vaccines right now, even though the "market" doesn't want to.

Really the most notable thing about this article isn't the science, it's the framing of the problem as "difficult" when... it isn't.

Globally we spend trillions on weapons (specifically nuclear weapons) that nobody wants to use so the problem doesn't seem completely insurmountable?
You're right, but the article suggests otherwise. Their deadline to put half of the satellites in orbit is 2026 so it's plenty of time for BO to have launch capability but until they put ONE object in orbit it's all vaporware, unless Amazon says right now Kuiper is open to other launch providers, which I have not seen in any news source yet.
What you said is all true but it still boils down to getting people to see more ads. I'm not sure how big a part of their revenue Reddit Gold is.
Change the www in the url to old. That'll give you a way superior ui.
Yeah I recall how they used to be different looking -- the ads, I mean. Enough that you could tell they're ads and would only click on them by dumb accident or if they were interesting.

Now they just look 100% like regular posts, and it feels more and more shady.
I crawled a few social media platforms that do not offer accessible APIs as an experiment. I mimicked user behavior, I even occasionally bypassed google's noChapta (although that could have been just pure luck) on a few sites.

Seeing what people put in their bios, what their network looks like, their posts and all the metadata, its incredibly what amount of user data is pretty much out there in public. Seeing that this is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of what companies like Facebook are collecting, all those stories about algorithms predicting pregnancies before the people themselves know about it seem much more realistic.

The main think holding people back from mass creating accounts to spam social media (even more) are chaptas, and those can be outsourced to chapta farms somewhere in the world.
Old design + Reddit Enhancement Suite is the only decent way to use reddit right now.

Easy Congress put on bandannas and robbed the tax payers of about $18,000 each.

Congress then turned around and gave taxpayers $1,200 each, of their own money, that total amount can be doubled that to account for the temporary unemployment benefits increase. The rest of the taxpayer money went to the FED so they will guarantee the prices of shit stock...the market can't lower because as many rich CEOs and investors cash out their shit stock the FED is there to buy at these artificial prices.

Its not healthy obviously, its just another in a long line of scams on taxpayers who paid for the golden parachutes and will be left holding the bag. There is about $4.2T the FED has to buy stock at artificial prices so it will be sometime before this bubble pops.
Treat work like work, and home like home. Don't allow them to bleed as a hard rule. Covey was right - get dressed for work, every single day. Have a work area, a work pattern and never do anything personal in that space. When I lived in a small space, I used a laptop desk for work, purely to separate the two. The mental approach is enormous.

Enforce some form of hard separation. When work ends, don't get up and make dinner (unless that's an hour long activity). Shut things down, go for a walk, call X, play guitar, play a video game... basically do something to ensure you're completely changing from one mode to the other.
> The buildings and other constructions surrounds us have about the same theoretical reliability

You are off by a few nines.

Transportation machines are expected to have 5 or 6 of them. And those are the most dangerous kind we keep around. Everything else is more reliable.
Perhaps. Or even just monthly internet passes, for when you go on vacation to a place without proper broadband. You don't have to go very far outside of cities in the US to end up in a completely underserved area.
imgur and gfycat directly stream a .mp4/etc file, the opposite of what reddit does.

Many uploads on reddit are also repeated re-uploads of compressed and then recompressed ad nauseum videos and stolen content, so I wouldn't be surprised if a fairly significant amount of the uploads started at 360p or less, downloaded from a phone.

> I also think they shouldn't even attempt to stream video under a certain bitrate

You are not the target demographic; the target are mostly on phones, where rapid start and 360p is not a huge deal. You don't get 1080p or 720p from snapchat or instagram. In super blunt terms reddit would rather not want you, they'd much rather have someone with the app downloaded, all tracking on, with push notifications on and the impossibility of ad blocking.

In your example, the video thumbnail implies that this is a recording OF a recording - this is someone that has already uploaded a compressed version to Twitter, where it has been further compressed, and then recorded and cropped on presumably a phone screen, then uploaded to reddit.

If I google the text, the first reddit results are all natively in 240p uploaded original.
Many of the modern ones are based on deep learning and might indeed capture priors for faces. However, other approaches do not depend on machine-learning. The priors that they implicitly use are weak or rather general (e.g. natural images have mostly sparse wavelet representations, videos represent things that move mostly continuously, etc). They essentially compensate for the motion over several frames and use the redundant information to denoise the result.
So, don't do it like a reporter, do it like an activist? Balderdash.
Replacing "www" with "np" also works. Functionally I believe it's identical to "old" but without voting/posting
For modern music, the definitive resource (in my experience) is RYM: https://rateyourmusic.com/. It has several advantages:
1) extremely broad coverage - it is almost "list of all music ever"
2) the community has rated all of this music and "has good taste"
3) nice sorting and search capability

How to use:
a) For overview of most important albums which is at the same time a reasonable overview of modern music history, use the default sorting https://rateyourmusic.com/customchart
b) after you get into specific sub-genre's, use the sorting. For example, you discover you like Japanese 90s city-pop? Here's the query for you https://rateyourmusic.com/customchart?page=1&chart_type=top&...
c) for music discovery, browse recommendation lists of people there. It is a true gold-mine of great music

From what I've read this one is amazing. Not sure I want to drop that much cash on a keyboard yet though. Plus I've seen some reviews about it being a fixed layout as a downside (and some reviews where that is an upside).
And if all businesses are hit by hard economic times, should all stocks go down? Wouldn't that mean that people are selling stocks and not buying other stocks?

I don't think modern investors just don't-buy-stocks unless they need the money for something else. They invest in something. And if everything is doing poorly, that means the market doesn't change.
They won't launch on spacex, for sure. And there literally is no one else offering the capabilities to do it. The article mentions 10 billion dollars. That is only about 50 launches with the "competition" of SpaceX. Ok, you might get a discount, but still you would have to place 20+ satellites into a launch vehicle and have pretty much one launch per month to meet the requirements. "vaporware" sounds about right to me, tbh.
They call it growth hacking because it drives some metric up. I call it betraying your loyal users.

Honestly, I hate how in 2020, every single social media service tries this hard to manipulate its users into spending more time with them. It's nothing but pathetic at this point.
I have Emacs pinkies - I see the value in similar efforts. I will try this out for some time to see if it actually helps. But muscle memory is a thing for me, it is hard to undo 20 years of Emacs habits.
I work in robotics. The problem for pretty much everything is one of scale and commercialization. Every one of these issues has been addressed, but almost none have a good and bundled solution.

It feels like computers in the 70s. All the pieces are there but there aren't mass produced PCs yet somewhat because there aren't the suppliers to make things easier.

This is changing fast.

For example, SLAM has many things that work, but they require fine tuning, and most contain undocumented features that require reading the source to find. Slamcore is a company working on this, I hope there are more.

Teleportation was "possible but hard", but Freedom Robotics has a good solution now that mostly "just works"

Robotic bases work well, but they will ship them to you without things plugged in so you have to find the issue and fix it yourself. AWS Deepracer is clearly a prototype for a solid wheeled base. The documentation and build quality is an order of magnitude higher than anything else in the space. My guess is they launch it as a useful base in the next year or so.

Depth estimation is pretty good with Intel Realsense now, and the new OpenCV OAK is another attempt here. I think this is more solved and packaged than anything else.

ROS2 was only properly released in June 2020, and it is a huge step up from ROS1 for commercial applications. It probably needs another 1-2 years for the community to finalize supporting it.

I think for founders finding known robotic solutions and making them into robust commercial products is a great space to work in.

The next few years are very interesting in this space, as even 1 year ago everything was much harder and it's rapidly getting easier.

Excellent summary :D
The problem is that in America, creating jobs is a significant focus in government spending, including military spending. There's not a lot of jobs in antibiotics the same way that there are lots of well paying jobs to bring to your congressional district if you fund a plane to nowhere. Elsewhere in the world maybe it's different and there's an opportunity there, but spending decisions like those in the US are very jobs driven and antibiotics just don't really fit into that
Because:

1) I think what's being shown IS the fofpx.com platform. This platform has four demos, of which this is one. The others look neat too!

2) The platform looks awesome, and I'd like to use it myself for things I'm doing with kids learning math.

3) To do that, I'd need to have some basic, minimal background. For example, if I plan an activity for next week, will the web page still be up and work the same? Without that, it's not really practical to use.

4) The point of a Show HN is exactly to solicit feedback. I think any serious potential user would have the same sorts of questions. Tossing an FAQ or similar up of fofpx.com would be quick-and-easy.

5) The next step beyond that would be accounts, so people can save their work and come back to it.
It's also interesting to note that the old ui on a desktop does not have these useless messages you mentioned.
A single researcher is rarely productive on their own. Effective research requires a tight network of likeminded individuals and support structure.

If the number of corporations needing new discoveries keeps growing but the funding is fixed, that means either the researchers are spread thin or there’s a centralization of research that has a hard time transitioning into the wild. (Both situations exist, and it sucks.)
What kind of music are you talking about here? Do you want for Western music? Or are you willing to explore Eastern music too?

I think we're mostly in agreement.

The original scenario HenryBemis painted involved source code being leaked, so I think it's fair to either assume the employee is technically competent, or should not have access to it in the first place. Also, their scenario involved disgruntled employees, so on the other end of the spectrum, if you have, say, sales representatives which want to take out their customer database, then it's well in their motivation spectrum to snap a few hundred smartphone pictures of Excel or Outlook with a pdf "scanning" app to get a nicely printable address book. Sure, it's not perfect, but it can still be damaging as hell. Basically: Don't rely on data exfiltration to fail.

But the reason I've bothered to write the first comment, is that it's such a huge productivity drain to develop software on a locked down machine. I'll think twice or thrice before taking on a position where I don't have root access to my computer.

I concur most non-technical employees don't need (or should have) more than the equivalent of a Chromebook.
At a certain point, you realize Bach is all you need.
The only launch provider that reuses rockets is SpaceX, so every other launch provider is at a total disadvantage.
Start to make patentleft to start competing alongside, and allowing this to be developed.

Just like in open source software, all other science departments run on a gift economy just fine, everyone contributing small parts to a snowball. Newton stood on the shoulders of giants, he says. He didn’t have a swat team shut him down for it.

The engine of Capitalism is about taking risks and investing capital into a project, to recoup it if it turns into products people want to buy with viable unit economics. That works well, but also has major downsides. Countries like USA which do it wind up paying 10x more for the same drugs as others, and you can see other problems in the OP post about not even developing the drugs. May as well try another system (alongside) like patentleft.

Open source and science is a gift economy where everyone contributes what they can afford, and a growing snowball of ideas. It is built on COLLABORATION rather than competition, and requires NONE of the intrusive government interventions to grant monopolies on ideas and “doctrine of equivalents”. Libertarians and progressives alike should welcome it.

Private property is just a man made system, just like any other. We can look around and see what systems work better. Which is far more popular today:

Wikipedia vs Britannica

WebKit / Blink vs IE

Linux / BSD vs SunOS

The Web vs AOL

Linux/Android vs Nokia

Apache / NGinX vs IIS

Programming languages are almost all open source

Wordpress vs Blogger.com

I could go on... but you get the idea. The tortoise beats the hare eventually.
I have to ask... What was the reason you shut this person down? Was it simply that they were violating your rate limit, or something more?

E.g. if they were paying for the 1000 concurrent puppeteer sessions, would everything be in the clear with your SaaS?

Presumably, your service doesn't care what the users use it for. Sure, though, it's a violation of twitch's terms of service to fake viewers on the platform. I may be naive -- could twitch sue a service that is used to fake viewers?

They either optimize for sales (of something), ads, data mining, or something more ephemeral like "discourse control" or "discussion shifting".

You're seeing the latter two happening with reddit, probably other sites like tik tok.

I think you've done a fantastic job strawmanning the chapter and book and man to the first story of the chapter to suit your ideological frame of reference.

The chapter for anyone who wants to read it for themselves is Chapter 9: Assume the person you are listening to might know something you don't. See any irony between that and the immediate shutting down of any insight he might of had because of a biasing mechanism?

> Honestly it's a bad book

I think you are doing many people seeking meaning and stress relief at this time a huge disservice with this comment. It's a tough book, not for everyone. Written for people who like ideas and need wisdom in my estimation. Anyone who wants to understand 12 rules for life better after their first read through- I recommend the youtube series where Jordan goes through the Bible's stories. I know you may have shunted that off because you are not religious. I'm not either but what the series is- is Jordan Peterson basically explaining his life's work into the wisdom and psychology of ancient stories humanity has kept alive for our existence. Take care
