This is a great example of having the right ideas but not understanding workable systems with real people. Let's take just one industry and I can show you how it's not as simple as you make it out to be: socialized/single-payer medicine. This is a system which reduces incentives (profits) in exchange for some equity. This is a great idea because we don't like it when people suffer. But what are the costs? Basic economics/psychology informs us that when incentives affect behavior. When the profits in healthcare are reduced there is less incentive to create new products/treatments/services. This is the tradeoff we're making. What happens down the road? Of course no one knows exactly, but we do know what will tend to happen. A new drug that might've been created in 5 years takes 7 instead. And then the next advancement that builds off that one takes even longer still. The whiz-kid who might've invented the new surgical technique which saves hundreds of lives per year might go into finance instead. What does this mean? It means we've slowed the velocity/acceleration of advancement. So people who live 50 years in the future will not have as good of healthcare as they could've if we'd left the greater incentives in place. And the people who live 100 years in the future are relatively even worse off to where they would've been because we've had 100 year at the slower pace. Since the future is functionally infinite, we are causing infinite harm to people in the future (all the advancements they won't get) at the cost of providing some comfort for some people today. And this applies to every industry, every redistribution program, every set of regulations. It's not just politics/law either, we make these decisions in our own lives every day. Are you going to buy that Apple Watch, or are you going to put that extra $ into your 401k?

Stoicism teaches us that all negative emotion is rooted in a lack of understanding. So when someone says they don't want to raise the minimum wage, or doesn't want universal healthcare, or whatever... it's helpful not to have that knee jerk reaction of "This person is bad and wants people to suffer." That's almost never the case.
Good points. I used to use Android, but recently switched to iOS, mostly because I have a Macbook pro and iMac.

I'm not blown away by the iPhone in general honestly, but being able to sync everything between the Mac devices is super convenient. The ability to easily share files wireless-ly between all of them via Airdrop is fantastic. Great use cae for moving KBDX files, or in this case key-files is super useful.
When you buy books on your Kindle, Amazon's store is the only one available.
There are a lot of alternatives if you don't mind switching workflows a little. I'm only a casual photographer, but I made the jump to Exposure X5 (which blows Lightroom out of the water on performance). Capture One also looked like a good alternative.
Cloudflare should apply due process in this case as in all other HR matters, but let's just be clear that the amount of process "due" for terminating an employee is vastly less than the process due for imprisoning an individual with state power.
Weirdly common I mean look at Dropbox, 100% processor while syncing. No idea why this is acceptable from such large companies.
Bounty programs explicitly tell you to only to target accounts that belong to you.

Outside of that, if you're "peeking" at information that doesn't belong to you, you immediately stop, document, and submit the report. You do not download 14,000 files as the Uber hackers did.

This is a non-trivial amount of nuance that clearly shows the hackers were not acting in good faith.
The subset of politicians who are pushing for universal healthcare don't all belong to the group supporting coupling with employment. I'm not really sure where you heard that? For instance, I don't believe Medicare for All, at least in its proposed form, encourages coupling employment with healthcare, but correct me if I'm wrong.

The hackers first broke into Lynda.com, using the same techniques, and emailed a ransom demand; Lynda responded by immediately disclosing the breach. Uber moved the conversation to HackerOne, and then made two $50,000 bitcoin payments to the still-pseudonymous hackers.

What appears to be making this a big deal is that Uber had been hacked several years prior, and was negotiating with the FTC over the breach; the 2016 breach was not timely disclosed to the FTC, despite formal statements being provided after the breach occurred.

Misleading the FTC is pretty clearly something that was under Uber's control.

Maybe relying on Google to share -or- arbitrarily decide not to share money that they get in from their massive advertising machine with you... isn’t a good business model?
I do not share your optimism. The main post says that you can do this for code up until ~2005, but not since then, and I would tend to agree. Also, many of the games require access to servers, which are no longer running, and even if you could get access to the server code, you wouldn't legally be allowed to run one yourself!
not necessarily. it could. but if x and y are truly uncorrelated variables that are observed with unlimited precision, then you still would not reject the null that they are uncorelated
You have no criminal due process right to a CSO job.
I do know that if I write a bigger-than-monthly-payment check to my bank they reduce the principal by that amount -- mortgage lenders are required by law to offer this prepayment option. I don't know if I called them up and said that I did it by mistake whether they would refund me and mark the principal back up.

As long as you reindex often enough, your Clipper apps should last forever, in my experience.
Movement of charge is more like wave in water than flow of water. Also, the current tends to travel on the outside (skin) of the conductor.
The titles are generally used interchangeably, though a CISO has an IT connotation and implies an engineering leader, while a CSO can be a risk/policy leader instead of an engineering leader.

Hopefully none of them have CISSPs; the CISSP is a joke.

Ask HN: For managing websites, how do I transition to cloud computing?
Imagine you are going to walk through someone who has only used Godaddy web hosting (not really me, but an approximate example) into using AWS, Azure, etc to manage their website, what resources would you point them to?

I feel almost like a total boomer learning how to use computers for the first time. What cloud services would I need for a brochure style website, or an e-commerce website, or a web app serving thousands, etc. When should I use containers and when I should not?

I have prior experience setting up domain name services on Plesk and cPanel, LAMP servers for local and remote use, Apache and PHP configuration through the text files, etc.

Sony is also in the software business. Their hardware margins may be thin, but how profitable is Naughty Dog? Or Insomniac? What kind of money do they make from the subscription services sold on the console?
I think that this would have been the right idea. We need similar for union protection (white collar/digital salaried) and for digital monopolies for big corps that don't quite fit the old Standard Oil mold
Fixed now. Submitted title was "Lightroom Update Wipes Users’ Photos/Presets, Adobe Says Their ‘Not Recoverable’".
I would have guessed the cause as HR recruiting and ladder climbing related. The latest hotness being needed to get a higher paying job elsewhere as opposed to just going with what works.

Disregard for technical debt is certainly a force.
It's not the same. Anyone who wants to develop a SaaS offering that requires a mobile app, which is basically everything nowadays, MUST take into account Apple's App Store and the Google Play Store because almost all of the target users will have those devices.

A game developer selling an exclusive to Epic is much different. They're not gatekeeping the platform which is the PC and no one is being forced to use the Epic store for distribution to get their games on the PC.

So to get access to 100% of the market on mobile platforms, you MUST deal with Apple AND Google. To get access to 100% of the market for anything on the PC platform you MAY deal with Epic, Steam, all of the above, or self-distribution. The difference is that developers get to choose which distribution strategy and platform makes the most sense for them in terms of cost, support, target audience, etc..

It's like if Walmart and Target were the only stores in North America and most buyers only shopped at one or the other. Would "choosing" not to sell your product at Walmart be a real option at that point?
Please see my parallel post here which explains why it's not as simple as those healthcare systems "working" vs ours not working. Particularly the part about those systems causing infinite harm in the future. FWIW I'm not advocating dismantling any social safety nets. I'm only pointing out that it's not as simple as "good vs bad."

Ugh. Clickbait
~5M is the number of people who tested positive by PCR. That's a small share of the total infected, though, since most people don't get sick enough to seek medical attention.

The total is probably around 25M Americans infected, 174k dead divided by 0.7% IFR[1]. That IFR was calculated from prevalence of IgG antibodies in random samples of the population. The antibody test thresholds were established using blood from patients who tested positive by PCR. Those patients generally wouldn't have sought care if the symptoms were very mild, and milder illness is associated with lower levels of antibodies in the blood. So that estimate of the IFR is probably conservative (i.e., high if anything, so the estimate of the total infected is low if anything). Different populations will see different IFRs, especially with variation in the age distribution (since the IFR is >100x for old vs. young), and also to a lesser extent with other factors.

Immunity passports have been endlessly discussed, and have many problems (e.g., the incentive for people to deliberately get infected) that I suspect will prevent wide adoption. It would make sense e.g. to preferentially assign seropositive medical staff to work with vulnerable patients, though.

> If you are an app that exists on other platforms, and/or accepts payments on other platforms, you can't describe that or even link to it, from your iOS app. Your users need to know that the alternative options exist on their own. See the Netflix sign in screen for a nice example, but realize that 99% of apps won't get away with that, only apps the size of Netflix can.

I'm really not sure what you're trying to say here. Apple changed the rules about account creation and outside payments/subscriptions in 2016(?) and they apply to every app now.
Build what other developers eat.

I am interested in this topic, can you elaborate? Or any thoughts from anyone?
Apparently they're doing pretty well. Don't expect them to change course. But this created the opportunity for others. I have migrated to Affinity photo + Capture One. No regrets.
Wow, this is a great idea. I recently worked on a team building streaming data pipelines, and we built a bespoke system to do exactly this: end-to-end test our software. We had past messages written to a >300TB sharded file, and wrote a microservice to read each shard and publish it to the message queue for our staging instance, and then run data validation/anomaly detection on the output. It was useful but incredibly painful to use and maintain, and Batch would have been a fantastic solution for accomplishing this.
In fact, the two people responsible for the hack, Brandon Glover and Vasiley Mereacre, are awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty in federal court; they'll be sentenced next February.
It looks the same on my TN-panel monitor with Firefox 80 and Chrome 84 on Windows 10 and Linux. Could you post a screenshot?
Speaking as someone generally ignorant of unions, I believe the teeth of unions lie in the collective bargaining that comes from making them mandatory. With right-to-work laws in some states (and other countries) this is often not possible, so workers can choose to look out for their immediate interests which undermines the union's power that comes from representing most or all employees. In other words, unions generally require more than just freedom of association or speech.

That’s one of many antipatterns in this situation we are in.

Alexey Navalny has not been poisoned from 'tea'

I know HN cannot think for themselves. But for a crazy idea try.

Show me why should think Navalny has been poisoned and how it might have been done.

100% happy to look at unsubstantiated things like tweets of leaks from the hospital. Or random rumours.

[edit] The evidence Alexei Navalny has been poisoned before is weak. Obviously as an opposition leader if I had anything vague happen that might look like poisoning I would definitely allow that rumour spread. His previous medical attacks don't seem like poisoning to me, compared to what happened to Pyotr Verzilov for instance.
I've been interested to try it out, but I've never hated Ubuntu desktop as much as some seem to, so I've never gotten up the motivation up to give it a go. My boss is very adamant about Linux Mint, and I tried one if his installations before, but I guess I just don't care enough about the desktop experience to make it worth it. Give me a terminal, a text editor, and a browser and I'm happy :)
The article describes a schema extremely similar to what's implemented by https://photostructure.com
This is cool! I've been playing around with GPT-3 a bunch lately with the same goal in mind. I spent too much of the afternoon feeding it a few 7-point plot examples like [0] and then brainstorming my own with it. It was incredibly fun, and GPT-3 is surprisingly good at casting a story. Feed it "Main characters:" or "Eamon's character arc:" and comes up with interesting examples. It takes a bunch of tries, but it's 1000% enough to spark creativity. I haven't tried getting it to do prose, since the 2048 token limit is so small. I'm excited for the new O(n) transformers to remove that limitation.

I'd love to hear more about the kinds of prompts you're using.

Unfortunately they are still highly dependent on other APIs.

When San Diego Comiccon went live on funko.com (shopify) the website was fine but the checkout was bottlenecked by the API calls to shipping providers. Many never were able to checkout and Funko had to issue an apology.

Unfortunate that no matter how great you can improve your own product you may still be dependent upon others.
Chicken is cheap because the feed conversion ratio is very good: apx 1.6 kg of feed (corn) in yields you 1kg of chicken out. Only some varieties of fish does better. In comparison, beef has a ratio of around 5 to 7 (10 if you just count the meat).
Healthcare I agree with, universal basic income I don't agree with. Healthcare should be a human right but giving everyone $X a month doesn't make much sense as it doesn't promote self reliance. I have no problem helping those who can't help themselves but healthy adults really should take on some responsibility.
There is no truth to that at all. Corporate liability protects employees in a subset of civil cases; even when employers are charged in tort cases, employees are often charged as well.
I tried live share. It didn't work. It didn't not work with a clear error message either. It didn't work by having a loading bar that simply never finished.

The browser version of live code did work, but no. I'm not doing that.

I used to use zoom for pair programming. It got banned because, as you said, Large Enterprise Company. Microsoft lobbied them with "trust us: the company behind skype knows how to write secure software. force uninstall zoom on all your employee computers if you know what's good for you". Microsoft corporate sales are wizards.

Since zoom bombing was a thing and we couldn't be trusted to set our own passwords, I also tried using Microsoft Teams to pair program. It was absolutely unusable (e.g. if you type the keyyyyyyyssssss willlll stickkkkk).

GitDuck is probably lovely. It's a shame neither of us can use it.
> It makes the most "important" argument of the function the first thing you read in function signatures

Doesn't that make writing functions that can use partial application harder? e.g. If I was writing clamp i would want the signature to be

(defn clamp [min max n] ,,,)

Then I can do:

(map (partial clamp 1 11) [-14 2 5 8 11 15 18])

I know when I use Clojures threading macros I use thread last way more than any of the others. My next most common would be piping it into arbitrary locations, e.g.:

; pipe into an arbitrary spot (specified here as o)
(as-> (range 1 10) o
(map inc o)
(filter even? o)
(reduce + o))

I rarely use thread-first.
Obviously this is a screw up on Adobe's part, but this is a good time to remind everyone that if you're not backing up your data, then it must not be very important to you.

Back up your stuff! You never know when something unexpected will cause you to lose it!
They've also pulled off an incredibly hostile move for paid users of older Lightrooms - they're refusing to update it for 64bit-only OS X. The app itself is 64bit (in fact, the app itself is _only_ 64bit), but its licensing/installer components are not. So if you update OS X, it's not guaranteed that Lightroom (that you paid for) will run, or if it does, how long it will continue running for. This isn't some ancient software, this is the 2015 version of Lightroom.

This is 100% intentional to drive users to subscriptions.
We already know that the virus is harmless to children. No need to grasp at straws to pretend that our collective hysteria was necessary.

I think uber and lyft should pay more to their employees and raise their rates to reflect that. We don't need to go back to taxis, I agree with you on that, but the fare should reflect the real cost of the ride for a fair wage for the service.

I'm interested in your opinion here. After reading the indictment, which is fairly detailed, you still think that Sullivan is nearly blameless? Or do you just think other execs at Uber are also culpable?
We studied all the big Eurasian civs...except for Persians. I never understood why the omission. Certainly not cause modern regime given the woke trappings adorning the rest of the curriculum.

It's an extra bummer quite simply because civilizations in the middle interact with more civilizations, and so are a great way to tie together everything else one remembers into a coherent whole.

So what if rideshare companies puts you under water if you are not working 40hr week just like an employee? Given the almost duopoly, wouldn't there is no recourse for workers but to accept the same terms as employees.

The essence of contractor model is that your future offers are based on past work, not past declines. If you as a driver were giving quality ride and decided to take 6 months break, there shall be no impact on your rating.

Disclosure: I suffered through two weeks of covid

The test for me was $165, and my insurance would not cover it.

My recovery was punctuated with almost daily calls from the local hospital i tested at asking me to come back for a follow-up antibody screen for research purposes.

This was $400. It was not covered by insurance so I skipped.

I was then contacted by my insurance company asking if I had completed the antibody test and told it was covered, so I passed the antibody test and went back to work. Three weeks later I wound up fighting $600 from a hospital collections agency for covid ab lab work.

My disease advice is this: If possible, avoid being a working class American.
Thanks for sharing this, amazing short film.

I didn’t downvote you. (I don’t downvote if it’s worth commenting.) If I had to guess, people downvoted the hyperbolic nature of your comment. Lifting is clearly a middle class activity. If it’s too expensive for a working software developer, then they have other priorities, which is fine.
