Only 'alleged' because he's politically connected and aligned with America, and will therefore never go to trial.

Or do you also object with 'allegedly' when people call Bush the Younger a war criminal as well? He'll never see a trial either for the same reason, but he is nevertheless a war criminal.
This is (or seems to be) the value proposition of llvm and clang. Both are easy to use as libraries, so you can create a program that does detailed analysis on a hard problem domain (C or C++ syntax) very easily. It would be nice to see these things for other languages.

I fail to see all of the defense of Brigade that is happening here. Arguments that "Well Revlon owned them the money, they just through it was a prepayment" seems like a gross simplification of the situation. A prepayment of this magnitude would never happen without some sort of other communication.

Further, as far as I know, Brigade was not owed $175M. There was a debt for that amount, but at the time the payment was made, they were only owed what was specified in the payment plan/agreement, which would have been the $1.5M. Just because they were also owed more money in the future, does not mean that it was owed now.

As a "down to earth" example, my employer will owe me more money in the future, according to the terms of my employment. But on September 1st, they will only owe me my bi-monthly paycheck.

If they over-pay me, and deposit a full years worth of my salary into my account, it is not reasonable for me to say "Oh, I guess they chose to prepay me for a year! Awesome." Your employer will take that over-payment back, and if you fight it, you will lose.

I think the story was the owner of said pizza joint had underaged pictures on one of his social media profiles and was using the place to arrange Epstein trips. Bill Clinton was a visitor to the island where these arragements happened. Hilary Clinton broke the law and setup a private email server that was hacked.

There is a movie on netflix about Epstein the island.

Years ago I was using Ocado as well. Substitutes were common, almost in every single order. Then Amazon Fresh came along and I switched to that. Amazon Fresh maintained 100% consistency, I haven't got a single substitute for several years I used them. Ocado, at least back then was lightyears away from the level of stock management that freshly launched Amazon Fresh had. I've been using Ocado lately as well, because Amazon Fresh simply doesn't have any delivery slots left. I have Ocado delivery coming in the nest hour and what do you know - I've been emailed that 2 items will be missing.
Yeah, for general use, EU "government" is best translated as US "administration", I believe.

A lot of people don't include the judiciary when they say "the state", I believe as the courts are independent and serve as a controlling instance that should (in theory) reign in the state when it oversteps.
I can't really find any word for "No amount of data is going to persuade them otherwise." than "idiot". They may be able to constrain their idiocy to certain domains -- after all the early history of the planet (whether 5,000 or 5 billion years ago) has no real effect on your daily life.

But in my experience, it nonetheless creeps out to affect other areas of their life. YECs are often afflicted with other conspiracy theories, not just flat earthers but also climate denialsm, and these days, COVID denialism.

I find that the assumption isn't so much the teleology as the group superiority. It's not so much that the Bible is inerrant as that they are the ones who hold the truth, and those who disagree must in all cases be wrong -- and not merely wrong, but out to get them. The appeal to teleology is more about literal divine right, that "God shed his grace on thee". That leads them to make alliance with those who don't accept young-earth creationism but nonetheless share their nationalistic, chauvinist, xenophobic aims.
I believe you are correct. As decades go by in which the construction of a particular "thing" is no longer done, the skills, knowledge, experience, and even the institutions that are a part of it wither away. Unfortunately our lost abilities is not limited to big infrastructure projects. Even the manufacture of something as small as a simple screw is difficult in America. Here's an excerpt of what I mean.

> In 2012, Apple attempted to move production, or at least assembly, of the Mac Pro back to Texas. It found it couldn’t domestically source a tiny screw needed for the Mac, indicative of the challenges of trying to produce things in the United States. According to the New York Times account of the fiasco, in China Apple could turn to any number of factories that could produce custom screws.9 Texas had almost none. Further, as said by none other than CEO Tim Cook himself: “In the U.S., you could have a meeting of tooling engineers and I’m not sure we could fill the room. In China, you could fill multiple football fields.” Eventually, Apple had to import the screws from China, and this was merely one production bottleneck among many. In June 2019, Apple announced that the next version of the Mac Pro will be produced in China.10

> If even the mighty Apple can’t source simple things such as screws in the United States, or find enough tooling engineers, we shouldn’t expect one company to solve what is now a systemic problem. It is not rational to expect individual CEOs to expose their companies to the higher costs and bottlenecks that come with reshoring. We should not expect the market to fix this suboptimal Nash equilibrium problem, either, nor can a one-time injection of taxpayer’s money, however large. These coordination, demand, and financial problems are just too staggering for even our most powerful corporations to solve by themselves.

I am somewhat uncomfortable with the tech for eradicating a species (genetic bombs etc). It feels like a Pandora’s box.

I get similar vibes to nuclear weapons, like, should we be on this path at all? Does an ethical person walk that path, even for “righteous” ends, or is the ethical move just to sit down in place and make someone else drag you down it.

BUT, letting so many people die when you could help is also unethical. That’s very different from an atom numb... bombs don’t save lives.

Still, the idea of weapons that are sexually transmitted and eradicate branches of the tree of life is just a bone chilling concept.
What did Stallman predict correctly?
Malaria is just as deadly to adults who have never been exposed to it as it is to children under 5 years old. However the more times you catch it, the more immunity you build to it. An adult who has caught malaria multiples times is not likely to die from it. An adult tourist catching it for the first time can be in trouble.

Ask HN: Yelp has blocked 90% (n20) of our legit 5 star reviews. What do we do?
Hi HN,

We are a small business primarily serving seniors. Yelp has chosen to show a 1 star review and a 5 star review, for a total of 2.5-3 star average. This hurts our prospects greatly, as a customer-service oriented business who competes with major US telecom carriers.

Many of our seniors have created Yelp accounts for the first time in order to give us reviews. We have been in touch with ~6 different representatives at Yelp over the past year about this issue, and none will ever say anything beyond "the algorithm decides which reviews appear."

Does anyone else here have any recommendations for other methods we might try to get Yelp to display our customer reviews, particularly if these group of customers is the least likely to have a Yelp account? As a telecom provider, trust really really matters, and Yelp's decision to hide genuine customer reviews hurts our business.

Thank you HN for any feedback you can provide

Take the parallel postulate. It holds in Euclidean geometry but not in others. Am I an idiot for not using that postulate (and its implications)? No, I'm starting from a different set of assumptions than someone studying Euclidean geometry. As a consequence I'll reach different conclusions than someone studying Euclidean geometry.

Neither of us are idiots, we both know what we're doing. The conflict is when I make an assertion about geometry (general) that doesn't hold for geometry (Euclidean) (or the reverse, the other person makes a general assertion that doesn't hold for non-Euclidean geometry). Unless we sit down and compare our base assumptions (axioms), we cannot resolve this apparent conflict.

I'm not saying this is universally the case, there are contrarian trolls and idiots out there, but oftentimes people are reasonably rational but are starting from different positions. This leads to conflicts in politics, economics, religion, and, yes, the understanding of the physical world. It's not helpful to call them all idiots because many times they aren't, they just have different base assumptions (or priorities, often, in the case of politics and economics). And calling them idiots only leads to an emotional, not rational, "discussion". Take a step back, don't be a jerk, and listen to them, work backward to the actual point of disagreement and then focus on it (or not, once discovered you may realize there is no resolution that will satisfy either or both of you).

For image size, it doesn't matter. It does matter for build time.

Specifically, multi-stage builds let you get better caching and therefore faster rebuilds, since you can cache the pre-installed gcc etc. layer, while still getting the small image.

So if you have a human being waiting on frequent Docker build results, yes, multi-stage is better.

In this case, the builds are automated, no one waits for them, so it doesn't really matter (except for burning some extra CPU cycles).

This is what makes this "abuse of the amygdala" a hack. The flat-earthers/trump-supporters don't have anything "important" to say unless you want to give credit to their conspiracies.

That said, they are indeed screaming loud and clear that there is a significantly large segment of people with certain mental dispositions that are being abused by leaders in the top ranks of our government and society.
Yes, life is way easier if you don't have any state to worry about and you only process recoverable jobs on cattle containers and it's a team of one person taking care of it, then by all means use simple solutions.
My experience consulting for many startups is that what is called "Value add" is a real problem at more than 2 or 3% of startups. The momentum of the status quo is really strong and only gets stronger the larger your target company. For example, getting a 5 person company with 4 engineers to try your new Dev tool is an order of magnitude easier than a company 10x that size which is an order of magnitude easier than a company 2x THAT size.
Forgotten? Looks like looted Egyptian civilization to me.
Well, epistemologically, there is a big difference between YEC and flat-earth.

Flat earth can be confidently debunked in quite a large number of ways, including direct experience.

YEC is, at its core, fundementally undisprovable. There really no way to prove that the universe wasn't recently created by some force with a consistent apparent history. Indeed, there are philosophers who have made strong arguments that we live in a simulation which makes such a "created with history" scenario seem more plausible.

> If you accept this premise, then there is actually a logically defensible line of reasoning that leads you to Christianity

I rather doubt that. You may be able to show that some of these beliefs are logically consistent given that premise, but that is a far cry from showing that they are logically derivable from that premise as you seem to be saying.

I do think there is data that will persuade these people, but nobody is willing to out the time and effort in to do so. (Since these are quite divergent beliefs, any education program would probably need to be customized on a per person basis.)
From the methods:

> SARS-CoV-2 viral load quantification: SARS-CoV-2 RNA levels were quantified with a quantitative viral load assay using the US CDC 2019-nCoV_N1 primers and probe set as previously described(10).

RNA. This can mean that they have a higher viral load, but high level of viral RNA does not necessarily equate with live virus. Why didn't they try to infect Vero E6 cells with the swab samples? (My guess: lack of equipment). Given the day of sampling, it may be still related, but given studies in children are far and few between, this is an IMO glaring omission.

I checked the paper for cell cultures or in vitro assays for live virus, no dice.

I'm kind of disappointed. We're well into the pandemic and we still rely on the presence of RNA alone to infer infectiousness? Why didn't the reviewers ask for that?

Sure, if "Stupid" is limited to the inability to form a sequence of connected thoughts, it is probably the wrong word.

If it encompasses the inability to reliably connect thoughts to reality, inability to trust anything other than naive constructs and actively distrusting others (which will certainly limit the problem space in which they can work), then it serves as a good shorthand.

That's an interesting theory because the timing does correlate.

A lot of people would immediately dismiss it because Google has the resources to scale up. But having resources doesn't guarantee someone actually turns the knob that increases the number of instances. (Whether automatic or manual, the adjustment could be too slow to match an unanticipated spike in demand.)

But there's another reason I don't think that's the explanation. Gmail has 1.5 billion active users[1]. Millions of students logging in at the same time sounds like a lot, but if Gmail has 100 million more active users today than yesterday, that's not even a 10% increase!

It’s interesting (and quite frustrating) — these are the social hysterias of our time. Could you have successfully navigated the inquisition without lying about what you believe? Obviously, no one is being tortured or killed like in the inquisition, and I simply mean to compare the coerced religious zeal. No one is ever pure enough.

I often think that this is simply a mixing of impulses. Everyone has an impulse to socially judge; a tribal impulse. Most of us do not have so strong an impulse, or otherwise can easily keep it at bay. But, what happens to that tribal impulse when you think you’re fighting for good and evil? Is there anything left to temper it? Should it even be tempered? And what happens when all the fates align: and the tribal impulse, the self righteous impulse, and the attraction to power all agree on the course of action. People must be relieved from their positions of power. And you can conveniently lean on the most righteous of your motivations, while also serving your basest motivations.

These retrospective analyses, while intriguing to read, should be taken as more descriptive than prescriptive.

When you talk to someone who actually succeeded at something, they'll talk about platitudes like working hard, product market fit, iterating, listening to customers, raising a lot of money or not raising too much money, and so on. Many people go so far as to try to emulate the behaviors of their "hero" (Jobs, Gates, Page/Brin, Zuck, ...), but that's a fools errand.

In a similar way, these types of postmortems should not be taken as prescriptive. They too are full of platitudes.
On one hand, yes, this could indicate some kind of breakdown in the rule of law (not TikTok being sold to Oracle, but TikTok being forced to sell). What you need to consider is:

1. Is it a threat that this happens to you, as a non-CCP sponsored entity?

2. Is it likely that you will ever even be large enough to care about?

I'm not sure I can agree with the exact methods undertaken against TikTok/ByteDance, but I think most people who care can realize this is only happening because of TikTok's position and perceived (and likely real) Chinese agression.
While I would like to think this article is correct I strongly suspect we'll be back to the status quo a few months after lockdown, especially for people who work outside of the tech industry. Lockdown has given some people a new perspective and an opportunity to learn new skills, but for most people it's been like treading water until life can resume again. There's little impetus to change anything, and a strong desire to get back to 'normal'.
What stock price, the IPO one? I don't know if you follow IPO price points, but they fluctuate wildly in the day of the IPO. Downvote or no, the idea that something like the pandemic is priced in doesn't even make sense given the volatility.

It's also worth remembering that in rough seas, you can go down from the foils with no issue. You just cut the efficiency down to regular boat levels...
