This is better with more open space. A toddler I know can occupy himself for hours outside, but you have to keep a watchful eye for what he's getting into, so it's not as relaxing for a caregiver as a tablet or phone.
Can you expand that interoperability thought? It’s unclear to me how this could change the main obstruction of vendors choosing not to encourage interoperability - anyone who keeps their API locked down is unlikely to adopt standard IPFS.
And the end result is the lack of a right to life. For life requires sustenance. And if there's too few with all the resources, you are denied the right to life.

As a result, I can consider a libertarian to be genocidal. For they would be mostly fine with a Holodomor.
Ha, I know exactly who you're talking about.
I'm pretty sure it is.

I went to a K to 12 school for my last 4ish years of HS, and the kindergartners (the kids, not just teachers) were already almost mind-dead cult like in "Prep for the test!" and "Go $TEAM!".

There were a couple really good teachers across all levels of the school, but not enough.
Really many on the list seems far more neuroticism or compulsion than narcissism in either the clincial or colloquial sense. "Good habits" to an excess.
Hello, this was me; author of JMAP and lead architect of Fastmail's web UI. The advice was intended to be "render it as plain text" AND then put it in a <pre> to preserve white space. Turns out tweets are difficult to put technical advice into, especially when you are not sure of the context the person you are talking to will bring with (so to me "render as plain text" means insert as a text node, not as innerHTML, but looking back I can see that this may not mean anything to someone with a different experience of building web apps). My apologies for the confusion.
Safari's ad-blockers are not really comparable[0] to what's currently possible on Firefox, Chrome, or other Chromium-based browsers.

They rely on declarative blocking and/or system-wide interception (ie, you run them as an entirely separate app outside of Safari). The majority of them are not going to be able to handle things like CNAME unmasking or page source rewrites[1]. The declarative blocking API in Safari isn't built to support those kinds of features.

[0] https://github.com/el1t/uBlock-Safari/issues/158

[1] The exception to this being maybe AdGuard when you run it system-wide? I vaguely remember reading that it sets itself as a MITM for all of your web traffic at an OS level, which allows it to do page-source rewrites. I could be wrong about that though.
Simple math below.

NY has 1,300 deaths per million, and NJ has 1,800 deaths per million currently. Let's take the average and say that they reached herd immunity with 1,500 deaths per million.

Great.

For the entire US (320 million), that implies 480,000 deaths before reaching herd immunity.

Does 480,000 deaths sound good to anyone?
Back in the days, when I saw Walmart fail in Germany, I had the impression the US isnt known for having cheap food.
In the elementary schools in my district, kids are lucky if they get 30 minutes of recess a day (more often it's like 15-20), even at kindergarten. It's a huge mess, and we're expecting 5 years olds to behave like 15 year olds. No nap-time anymore either.
He's given them money, and wants it used prudently:

Which person lied? I did not hear the claim (from a public health authority) that masks were not effective in preventing transmission. I did hear the claim that we are unsure if masks provide protection for the user (rather than just protecting others from the user), which still reflects our current knowledge for most mask types AFAIK. I did hear the recommendation against buying masks early on to protect the supplies for more critical users.

I also don't see how you can blame the health authorities for this when half the political leadership in this country continually questioned (and in some cases still questions) the efficacy of masks and successfully politicized the issue.

Scott Alexander covers your point under this blog post https://slatestarcodex.com/2020/03/23/face-masks-much-more-t.... I believe at one point he felt similarly to you.
Not sure if sarcasm. A lot of the world does run on AWS.

I think a better solution (as a socialist/libertarian) is a license where the license itself has a foundation or union.

All companies using the license commercially pay 3% of their yearly income into the fund. With a cap of 10% (if using multiple libraries/source codes).

It's spread equally to all software devs using this license based on lines of code contributed. Worker coops using the license would be free use, but would still be required to register their usage, business structure, and purpose.

You'd continue getting dividends, but as more code is submitted if you never wrote another line of code your share % would drop as more and more developers write code.
μὴ φρόντιζε (don't worry): we have a reason! I used to teach Greek and Latin, and our very first product, Epigrammar, took its inspiration from Classical antiquity: the English word “epigram” comes from “ἐπί” (epi) and “γράφειν” (graphein) meaning “to write upon” (historically, epigrams were written upon household items such as broken pottery or sea shells). With Epigrammar, we wanted to digitize the ancient way of writing upon things, so instructors could give their best feedback once and repurpose it everywhere. Now, with Epihub, we're still focused on helping instructors (fun fact: Aristotle was a tutor to Alexander the Great), but at the same time, we also want to help people build hubs for knowledge (ergo, Epi-hub).

Mass-market luxury is sort of an oxymoron.

Show HN: My brother wrote this program from jail
Hi HN!,

My brother got a 5 years jail sentence but is coming out soon, a few months ago he decided to learn to code with no prior experience.

I find the way he is studying very inspirational so decided to post his (simple) program.

But first, here is what he needs to go through to learn:

- We the family send him javascript and html books
- He studies them and writes programs in pen and paper
- He calls me so I input what he wrote on my computer and we debug it live via a phone call, he has to imagine the program in his head.

The crazy part is up until a few days ago he didn't have access to a computer.
However! another inmate has an upcoming trial and because the contents of his trial contain to many papers, they provided this inmate with a simple laptop (no internet).

My brother is not allowed to touch this laptop and he can only see this inmate 1 hour a day, so he convinced the inmate to sit next to him for my brother to tell him what to type, the other inmate types in the html+js on a notepad file and this way my brother can finally see his programs on a screen after months of only imagining how to program.

Here is the program we wrote today:

https://codepen.io/throwaway0944/pen/dyMpqJq

My dream is for this to get some traction so when he calls I can tell him his program has users :)
I don't know they don't ship it but bash is compiled with it.
Overture is really great. Folks who regularly mix and match from NPM (and especially those publishing packages themselves) could learn a thing or two by studying it.
I find most of the time when couples say they don't argue, the real reason is one is a doormat that let's the other get their way all the time. There's not much to argue about in that case. I don't want to say that's the case with you, as I know nothing of your marriage. It's just an observation.
Finally a comment that makes some sense. This should be near the top, really.
They encourage mycorrhizae growth, which is probably what they mean by “fungus”.
Oh yeah, this is a great point.

I can definitely see it not really being about money, and more about leveraging their monopoly to push their own competing services.
I have super bad eyesight and a serious medical condition. I sometimes have trouble finding things that other people think are pretty obvious. I stated explicitly I didn't readily see it. The implicit message there is that I don't doubt that it's there, but I, personally, can't find it quickly enough for me to feel it is worth pursuing to have some fairly trivial argument on the internet.

We seem to be failing to communicate on my main point.

I agree that warm liquids help. I'm not disputing that.

But showing that doesn't actually show that the hot liquid is the only "active ingredient" and nothing else matters such that just drinking hot water is an adequate substitute for a variety of home remedies where the theme is hot liquids. You aren't providing any support for that point.

I am disputing that specific point. I don't think it is true and I don't think you have provided any support for it.
Since you mentioned self-signing, I always laugh whenever I see people mention this on threads related to iOS apps and "being able to use your own software". These self-signed apps last for only 7 days before it expires, and then it needs to be sideloaded again with another self-signing, otherwise you can't run the app.

Being required to load your app every 7 days is such a major pain in the ass. Does anyone actually think that sideloading/self-signing is a realistic and viable way to build your own software stack (that can also be shared with other people) on an iOS device? It's obvious that this mechanism is only for development environments and the intention is that the app will eventually be signed with the $99/year version.
I am decidedly not “very fit”. I’ve a 33 BMI and a lung condition (hence my assiduous mask wearing).

Masks simply aren’t that big of an imposition.
Hold on a minute -- MacOS phones home every single time you launch an application? As a non-user of MacOS, this strikes me as utterly bonkers. You'd have to place a massive level of trust in the developers of your OS to accept this. And furthermore, surely the constant attempts to phone home have a negative effect on the user experience when the computer's network connection is missing or slow!

Perhaps the fine article has mischaracterized this behavior?
Thanks! Now it's all ES modules, you can easily just pull in the bits you need without having to bundle the whole codebase, which makes it much more useful for other projects too.
He makes a good point about paying tens in millions in fees to outside investment managers. Their fees are never worth it. I would imagine the entire investment management team could be a group of 5 people with investment experience who decide how to allocate the money into different Vanguard funds. Returns would be the same, maybe higher when you take out the 1-2% that management is taking out and putting into their own pockets.
If the herd can't resume regular herd behavior without risking widespread infection, does it have immunity at all?

Bringing up history is not meta. Meta would be starting an argument about the way your partner argues, or similar.

It's important to distinguish between Developer ID and notarization. Signing an app is done by the developer. Notarizing the app is done by Apple.

If you check the code signature of a Developer ID signed app, you'll see the developer's name and Team ID from the signing certificate. This guarantees the app was signed by that developer, as long as the developer has kept their private key secure.

First you sign the app, then you upload it to App Store Connect for notarization. It's an "open secret" that Apple has allowed any Apple Developer Program member to submit any app for notarization, even if the app wasn't signed by them. Apple really wanted all apps notarized. Whether Apple will crack down on this practice in the future, who knows.

The notarization "ticket" is signed by Apple, not by the developer. I've heard of developers who discovered that someone else notarized their app. But nobody else can put their "name" on the app except the owner of the Developer ID certificate. If you Developer ID sign someone else's unsigned binary, you're presenting it to the world as your own. But that's not the case with notarization. Nobody except Apple knows who submitted an app for notarization.
Movie theaters are on life support – how will the film industry adapt?
That's very true on Facebook, and it's true that Facebook is the dominant online destination so far as numbers go.

There are still regular old forums for a lot of hobbies and interests though, and even on here people can use handles. Reddit and Twitter as well.

I will confess to having multiple alt accounts on Facebook.

There is room to experiment still.
The point of a sandbox is that the only things in it are the things you've put in it. A can only touch B through mechanisms interfaces it has been gifted. Computer architecture is too broken to provide this guarantee to anything in the same address space, and operating systems are too broken to provide this guarantee through the majority of their interfaces.

Proper, pervasive sandboxing in the architecture, ideally down to the function-level, would solve a huge fraction of security bugs, largely for free. Nobody would have had to invent Rust, because that 70% of memory safety bugs would have been almost entirely impossible to exploit from the start.

I mean, it's pretty obvious the tension here is largely imaginary when you consider how much random code browsers run from untrusted sources, day after day, and most of those times they fail are because the architecture and OS and language haven't got sensible de-facto sandboxes (again, see that 70% number). For sure, you need to be careful what you give access to who, but the problem is insufficient sandboxing, and the solution is more sandboxing.
The Worst Bug Ever?
I initialised something to 1e64 instead of 1f64. It somewhat affected the results. By 64 orders of magnitude ;)

The Rust compiler, always so full of complaints at other times, was of course happy with it.

This just shows how all error checking, no matter how sophisticated, compilation and runtime, is doomed in the face of the slightest typing error.
>If a school's endowment had the same return and volatility of the S&P 500, that would be quite disturbing.

Why? I understand why this is the case for smaller investors like individuals, but for a school endowment isn't the sheer size of the endowment and the theoretically near infinite investment time horizon part of the risk management? Some years or even some decades it will be down, but they aren't investing with the intent to spend any sizable portion of that money anytime soon.
> What if there aren't better offers?
Death. By exposure, hunger, or thirst.

We must always understand the implication of Libertarian statements. They expect the poor to die when they can't afford shelter, food, or water. Or unless someone else besides them has mercy or compassion.
Here's the thing, it's power that is relevant here. Not how it originates, but how it is weilded, by whom, and to what ends.

Who buys and sells those guns? Using what currency? And do you really want to kick the hornets' nest of slaver repressions, traders, anti-union violence, including multiple open wars, range wars, the Johnson County War, the Great Potato Famine, Opium War, British occupation of India, China, Egypt, Palestine, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera? All in the name of commerce and markets.

I'll let you find the passages in Smith yourself where he talks of the joint-stock-company created and operated garrisons in India, Africa, and the Americas.

And just to preempt a likely upcoming reference to Weber, his famous [hrase has three conditions, not one: it conerns the monopoly on the legitimate use of force.

Absent government, what is lost isn't violence, but the monopoly on legitimacy. Ony entity that succeeds in reimposing that monopoly is by the definition a government, and absent monopoly or legitimacy what remains is illegitimate and/or multiparty violence.

(A nominal government itself may lose its claim to legitimacy, as recent public protests in the US and elsewhere have suggested).

You've managed to have numerous horses shot from under you with no apparent grieving on your part in this exchange. In sympathy with the horses, I think I've pursued this as far as I care to.

But you might care to examine your premises and their foundations a bit more carefully.
A cubic meter of air around room temperature and pressure has mass around 1000 g, and isobaric specific heat capacity around 1 J/(g*K). So cooling that air from 30 C to 25 C requires us to suck out 5 kJ. But at 30 C and 100% RH, air holds roughly 30 g/kg of water, while at 25 C it can hold only 20 g/kg. So as we cool the air, 10 g of water will condense, releasing about 20 kJ that we also have to suck out. There's no way to cool the air without condensing the water. In my example, the "latent" heat from the water condensing was much bigger than the "sensible" heat from air cooling. In practice it seems the latent heat is typically around 25% of the total[1], since we're probably at <100% RH, and since heat probably leaks in faster than moisture does (since air leaks let in both heat and moisture, but conduction through the walls/windows lets in only heat). The latent heat would be a bigger contributor in the poorly-sealed or outdoor cooling applications that these researchers seem to be targeting.

The idea of a radiant cooling tunnel appears to be old, but not very popular because it's not very effective. The cold plates leak cold into the air, just becoming a more cumbersome version of conventional air conditioning. The cold plate also can't run colder than the dew point, since the condensed water would drip and make a mess. The innovation here seems to be that they've placed a thermally non-conductive but transparent (to the thermal radiation) membrane between the cold plate and the user. There's a thin layer of cold, dry air between the cold plates and the membrane, but the membrane stops the cold from leaking out into the room air.

It's analogous to the sun shining through a well-insulated window on a winter day--you still feel the radiative heating from the sun, even as the window keeps the warm and cool air separated. Normal window glass wouldn't work for the cooling case, since the heat source isn't the sun (~6000 K) but the human (~300 K), so the wavelengths are much longer, around 10 um, and window glass is opaque there. Plastics with transmission around there are known, though, like the ones used to make the Fresnel lenses for PIR motion detectors. In any case, that membrane lets them keep the cold plate colder than the dew point without condensing water onto it, and also decreases loss of cooling by convection into the air.

It would work best on exposed skin. It should still work with clothes, as long as the clothes aren't too thermally insulating.

If you have the right situation for it, consider a projector. A decent projector and a much bigger than 65" fixed screen can be less than $1,000 combined. You won't be top of the line (maybe 1080p instead of 4k, and a "decent" quality screen), you need more darkness than a TV would require, you'll have to replace the bulb eventually, and installation is more involved.

But, for our needs (a handful of hours a week of focused watching or game playing), it's perfect. I wouldn't want this for casual TV watching or background TV watching, but that's just not how we consume (laptops or phones fill that role).

The projector is as dumb as can be, too, meaning nothing to connect to the internet, and nothing to update.
Thanks for the resources! It seems like a lot of these implementations expect to run as independently managed services in some microservice architecture. Are you aware of any workflow engines implemented as a library inside your application, maybe with storage backed by an external database? I think that you could still have a highly available model, provided the database supported that.
Another side to this question is: What is the value of a dollar? that is, what does a minimum wage job actually empower a worker to obtain?

The argument for harm should be re-framed in terms of minimum wages devaluing the buying power of a dollar, of raises to those wages as a tax upon the middle-class (who's wages presumably do not increase accordingly), but crucially not the rent taking (wealthy) class.

Rather than focusing just on dollars and an hourly wage, efforts must be made to correct the market for life essentials so that everyone is able to invest in themselves and the future. Taxes should be structured to prevent the wealthy from abusing the poor. There are other market distortions as well, such as artificially limited housing and many other forms of ladders being kicked out from behind of those who already have their place in life, and don't care for those whom are still seeking a place of their own to belong.
Sorry - for asking - but I have been baffled for a long time about these "requests"...

Do you expect other people to read and summarize, so that you don't have to? (I'm guessing "Yes" - which is why you asked...)

Do you generally get a good response to this? Or ignored? Or a hostile response?
yyyy/MM/dd or dd/MM/yyyy are not more rational, they are just a different convention. There is nothing inherent to those structures that convey the order of month and day.

This is a general reply, not only to the parent comment. I’m indeed cherry-picking though I didn’t carefully check the numbers. My point is we need to sacrifice some of the more trivial things and make minimal efforts to ride this out, and by not changing our lifestyles, we are passing the risk on to others, some of whom may be vulnerable and some of whom don’t have any option to not go to work (for example) to reduce their risk. You are making their risk higher by going to the gym and potentially contracting the virus, infecting your kids, and sending them to school where one of the teachers maybe has an underlying condition (for example).

I’m not arguing for total lockdown. I’m arguing for avoiding the more risky activities that involve heavy breathing in close quarters so total lockdown can be avoided. Local governments mostly know this, and have set policies accordingly. In general they should do a better job of compensating businesses in the short term since it’s not the gym owner’s fault (for example) that his business happens to have been risky right now.

I don’t think it’s good behavior to go out of your way to circumvent a public health policy based on a personal risk tolerance.
