Hi everyone,

Today we are rebranding and relaunching a clickstream data tool called Kanaree.io. Now, you're probably wondering why this one is any different than the others that are out there. It's a fair question. With Kanaree you KEEP your data. Kanaree does not house data. The platform was built to funnel your clickstream data into YOUR data warehouse. More information at Kanaree.io!
I learned Dutch, which does the same thing with the verb, and at one point after a few years it just clicked and started feeling natural to structure sentences that way. I've been living abroad long enough that occasionally I catch myself trying to organize English sentences in that way as I'm speaking (which, of course, results in falling flat on my face at the end.)

In Dutch at least, you can imagine these really long sentences which build up details, adding more and more, until they finally surprise you with the verb at the end. But in practice people don't speak that way - the patterns of speech and just the way people use the language in different subtle ways mostly prevents that from happening, in natural ways that don't feel terse. It may be different in academia/legal professions and that sort of thing.
Signal's disappearing messages will appear on your other devices such as the desktop app long after disappearing on the phone, and you still get group message asking if you'd like to join back the group you just left. Imagine these messages popping up right at the moment during police interrogation.
I think what you describe is really overblown - i know many computer illiterate people and 99% of the issues they have with their PCs is about what will happen if they Like something on Facebook or Microsoft forcing some update that takes ages to finish in their $250 laptop. The same people also run Android (which allows 3rd party installations) and they never had any issues with malware - largely because they never install anything outside the Play Store (something that explicitly requires turning on an option in settings that they have no idea about anyway). That would work with iOS perfectly fine.

As for the PC, i think what Apple was doing with macOS until recently (allowing you to run unsigned software you downloaded from the Internet by doing the "right click dance") was a perfectly fine compromise between security for computer illiterate people and still being in control for people who know what they are doing.

Nothing about Apple's model requires Apple to be the only one who can say what you can do with your own device - you can still have Apple be in control by default but also provide a way to take control yourself if you know what you are doing.
If supply isn't there It'll be interesting to see if demand waits, or returns to its status quo.

I live in central NJ, approx 75 mins by train from NYC and 60 mins to PHL. There is a small new development in my area of approx 20+ units. Best I can tell, these homes are struggling to be sold.
Along with that, the beltway bubble, where "reporters" mostly follow each other leads to, quite frankly, bizarre stories along with a unhealthy dose of outright wrong reporting.
The bad news is shell adoption. The biggest selling point of a shell is ubiquity.

Zsh for many, many years was basically Bash with more features but not endorsed by GNU.

Bash was released in June 1989.

Zsh was released in December 1990.

Yet Zsh has replaced Bash only on MacOS, only about 1 year ago and only because of Bash licensing issues (new Bash versions are under GPL3 instead of 2 and Apple hates GPL3 because it's against their locked down devices).

29 years to replace the default shell on just 1 platform... despite almost bug-for-bug compatibility, POSIX support, extra features.

I wish new shells good luck!

Boeing’s management has done a good job recasting what were deliberate business decisions that drastically reduced safety into bugs and technical errors, at least in the public eye.

It doesn’t seem the FAA is being too strict on them in this either, but I suspect the Europeans and Canadians will not go as easy on Boeing as the FAA has.
I sure love having a faceless trillion-dollar company making choices for me to try to keep me and my device safe.
We just saw a flurry of IoT devices losing connectivity to eu-west-2 as well, all seems to have recovered now though.
There's so much shit on the eShop. One example: there was a game listed for sale that used stolen assets from the Legend of Zelda.

It was apparently a $17 game.

I'm in my twenties. Sometimes I forget my age. Only ever by one year -- I just don't remember if my birthday passed or not. Kind of like in January when write oit today's date and accidentally use the previous year. After a few mistakes, your brain adjusts and you start using the right one. Same thing for my age, except that I don't actually think about my age very often; it hasn't mattered much since I passed 21.
We're not very consistent with this though. We consider it perfectly acceptable to put people in harms way as part of the armed forces. Even though the exact same demographic effects are in play.
Yeah .. but we (I'm Danish by citizenship) don't apologize because our newspaper prints satirical drawings of some prophet.

The threat model is different. No terrorist attacks of serious kind were performed as of yet but plans were found for terrorist attacks in Copenhagen. Something akin to what happened in Germany. The threat seem real.
The main issue with iOS isn't really so much iOS itself but the secondary effects it has over the entire industry - after all it has been very clear that Microsoft is salivating over the prospect of being Apple v2.0 and having as much control over the PC ecosystem as Apple has over the iOS ecosystem.
Hah! I do the same with tennis. I'm not very good, but you know... I can do some decent things out there sometimes, and I'm proud I took up the game in my 40s after so many of my peers have totally given up on such things.

I'm also blind in one eye. Probably not a lot of people out there playing tennis with just one good eye. Perhaps I actually am "elite" in terms of half-blind, middle-aged, overweight, novice tennis players.
> "Business English"

I'm not sure why it took me until now to name that style of speaking.

Over 10 years ago I was in a room where someone said "let us dialogue about this offline" to actually mean "shut up, let's continue".

I am often reminded of the phrase "It does not require many words to speak the truth", but here we are with "Business English".
Not quite:

> The first of Saturday's three concerts aimed to simulate an event before the pandemic, with no safety measures in place. The second involved greater hygiene and some social distancing, while the third involved half the numbers and each person standing 1.5m apart.

So they did it in three parts.
>these days people get music from spotify ($$) and similar services, not from torrents ($free). I'd say centralized won.

My point is less about what content delivery systems are most prevalent at the present moment, more so about which are more survivable. Protocols and physical media outlive centralized content delivery because they are more fault tolerant. One doesn't need the commercial and technical apparatus of Amazon Inc to pick up a physical book and read it. The market trades convenience for future performance default.

TCP/IP will outlive your national-post service.
> What you describe is possible with multiple app stores and allowing 3rd party apps - you just do not use those other stores and apps

That does indeed offer a solution, but I think the result is a fractured ecosystem where eventually apps end up on the "other " app store for one reason or another (They want a feature they can't get on the official one etc.).

With apple, devlopers have to bend over backwards to fit the ecosystem. That's both good and bad of course, but it keeps the ecosystem in one place with all apps being in the "safe" app store. I don't have to wonder whether that one app I want is safe to sideload/get from a third party store etc.

What I think is hard to understand is that I really really don't assign any value to being able to "do what I want" with my device. I absolutely don't want it to be anything like a PC and I don't mind being told what I can and can't do, for very little benefit, such as a tiny bit of security or a tiny bit of simplicity. It doesn't even have to be a lot.
And I was agreeing with them, just translating it into my own rant. Excuse me, but when I hear you smarties(not you specifically, threads lately in general) picking up pitchforks in the name of freedom, you will hear the silly squeal. And unfortunately, the 'war pigs' seem to be the sharpest in the shed by far.

I'm just not a fan of React Native mobile apps (same with rocket chat). Specifically Android, they are large and slow.

I recently looked into an online banks APK (also some JS framework) and there was one 100k line JS file with hundreds of lines of "if IOS" in it, on android...
Oops. Thanks for the info.

I misread the title and it didn't make any sense, specially because I tried the radio and it worked.
Making a cash offer is a good idea (gives seller assurance since there’s no reliance on a mortgage going through) but in today’s climate of low interest rates would be a poor move financially.

Imagine a $500k house. If you paid cash then you save interest payments and you could invest that into other things. But paying $100k and keeping the other $400k to invest will out perform the former strategy considering today’s interest rates of 3%.

If rates go way up then home asking prices will fall and a cash purpose begins to make more sense. But they haven’t for nearly 40 years. And there’s more money than ever out there which means there is less demand to borrow it which means interest rates continue to fall as the bid drops since there are so many eager lenders.
No, I am suggesting that part of the reason the death rate is much lower than predicted is that the testing rate has gone way up (and stayed up as testing became better and cheaper) and treatments have improved significantly, so incidences of cancer that might have been discovered late with few treatment options in the 90s are now detected early and treated as a chronic condition. More deaths overall, but a lot less than what was expected.

If you live in the fallout region then you are going to be placed in a high-risk category and are going to be watched more closely for cancer than the general population. By observing something we change it.
There is a place and a time for culture. Your electric bill is not one of them.

I disagree with your last paragraph. Speaking clearly and decisively is a good thing, and people will usually appreciate it. People become famous for speaking clearly. I remember some general made the rounds for his plain, no-nonsense COVID-19 address. I wish I could find it again.

I can only think of this scene right now.

This makes total sense to me. Simple language makes room for complex ideas.
Texas tea is a mainstay of the economy so it’s not terribly surprising that a member of the southern ivies has some groups and alumni decrying oil refinery waste as a big issue. While reading the article try not to judge the people or political structures involved since a huge chunk of the population is tied to the price of oil. It’s a fool’s errand to try to convince everyday people of the dangers involved with an industry which pays their bills.
> There is no great reason to think median and higher income jobs will be hammered while the economy is in recovery mode (and lower income job openings are also soaring).

That's a big brush statement considering we've never done a shutdown like this before. Sure, it can inch back but consumer confidence is essential. It's difficult to imagine confidence growing when approx half the population is going to be sold a vision of unrest, distrust, mismanagement, and so on.

A self-fulfilling prophecy isn't out of the question.

>Instead of deaths, we should use number of years of life lost.

The public health professionals generally do but neither activists nor journalists, let alone internet commenters ever does because you can't claim big eye grabbing numbers.
I assume, given the apparent amount of new construction, that there are certain patterns in what various groups of buyers are looking for that may not be well-met by current inventory.

I assume people moving from the city to the 'burbs and those moving to rural/small town locations possibly 2-3 hours from a big city are fairly distinct groups.
What are you talking about ? Are you saying a search feature is not necessary in my specs because you like using f3 or ctrl-f ?

"On mobile, using menu to search in browser menus" -> This is not a sentence.

I do add a "few bytes" to "reimplement" a "browser feature" ; but the reality is that i HAVE to implement search because it is hitting on 730000 per year records;

How is you ctr-f or f-1 feature is gonna search on 2190000 rows in 3 years ?

Again, you are too happy about your opinion that you spite it out like truth without even understanding specs.

Specs is what allow you to understand what's required, it makes no sense what so ever to talk about technology without understanding WHY you use it in the first place.

Is it meant for public ? employees ? How many rows do they deal with in their actual everyday workflow ?

You are pushing your workflow so much that you don't even consider about your users and that's another red flag for me.

PWAs have given so much in term of capabilities and mastery that I honestly wonder why I'm still talking about such things on HN while proper workflow about architectural design are ignored here.
From what I heard on the news this study is trying to figure out movement patterns in differently dense crowds. They have 3 levels of crowdedness.

The point is not to study or provoke infections. Everyone must wear medical grade masks (forgot the actual name).

There are still ethical considerations here but I don't think it is as severe as it may sound from your post.

Sure, your ads might be the greatest ads ever written. But if you respected your potential hires you’d be mindful of the fact that it’s easy to get job ad fatigue since all the other company ads are filled with bullshit.

Playing king-in-the-castle with people’s lives by rejecting them over some bizarre game where you assume bad intent doesn’t sound like “respect” to me.
It lacks some connotation. "Remind me" comes closer. "Get my attention" probably captures it, but "ping me" is much shorter.
Oyeah, didn't see the sci-hub reference.

It says something about the sad state of affairs that the universally agreed answer here seems to be "yeah just pirate it, nobody cares, everyone does it."
How do you split the lunatics from the evidence based? All over the world people are taking off shoes and belts to get on an airplane. If we’re only looking at the numbers, that’s a pantomime show.

In reality though, pantomime shows have a habit of putting a certain percentage of the population’s mind at rest so they are valuable for that outcome which can’t easily be quantified.
Would you yourself go to a concert at this time?

This socially-distanced outdoor concert in Newcastle (in the UK) doesn't seem too bad. Everyone has their own 'pod'. However, it's not suitable for indoor concerts and the extra logistics might make it too impractical even for outdoor concerts.

Here's a write-up of what it was like to attend:

This is what it was like to attend the UK’s first ever socially distanced gig:

Definitely.

Wear a mask, wash your hands, try to keep some sort of distance with people, don't go if you feel sick and try taking care of your immune system as much as you can before/after. Expect people having some sort of respect and do the same. Outdoor events would be a much bigger yes compared to indoor (note: concerts doesn't mean stacked onto each other's).

Of course, tests must be ubiquitous and this shouldn't happen while in an area having a peak of the epidemy. Restricting contacts with fragile people would also be wise.

I've been to hundreds of concerts/events and rarely been sick after one. Risks to catch a disease are in my opinion not higher than public transports or a crowded beach and probably lower than bars in general.

We need to stop this non-sense.
We had this joke.

A meeting of faculty heads is taking place. The topic - funding. The chairman says: "Hey, physicists, why are you so expensive? You need all those gadgets and materials to perform your experiments. Look at the mathematicians. All they need to produce a research paper are a box of paper, a box of pencils, and a trash can."
"We don't even need trash cans, sir." announces the dean of Philosophy.
Right. So where suburban homes are ticking up, urban living spaces are going to contract. Then does the contraction (i.e., lower prices and more choice) trigger people to not leave urban areas?
It’s crazy. I’ve spoken with a few local contractors and they’re having hard times even trying to get materials. Wood is really hard to come by.
No mention of record-low interest rates on the 10Y and 30Y - held in place by a Fed terrified of erring on the downside. Officials swear it's not yield curve control, but of course it is.

There's nothing magical going on. Housing purchases are made with debt. If you suppress the price of debt, you increase demand for houses.

Read some of the articles written about the real estate boom prior to 2008. They also left out the minor detail of panicked policy makers juicing the money supply.
God I love CSB videos, such good post-mortems.
The armed forces aren’t a randomized trial.

Many people go into harms way because of a necessary duty (firefighters, etc).

The restrictions on medical trials is because of the power imbalance. If I take a job as a firefighter or soldier that’s different from me living my life and being enrolled in some study putting me at risk for harm.
I don't think AdvFS ever reached the level of community buy-in that ZFS has. A lot of people in Linux land really like ZFS, IMHO both demand and supply to sustain an in-kernel ZFS is there already.

What problem, exactly?
Apple market size is only relevant in North America and a couple of tier 1 western countries, hardly a monopoly.
"For this reason, your Apple Developer Program membership will be terminated. This appeal decision is final, and any subsequent appeals you file will be closed without review."

Just think about that. The developer can't even prove they're the original, not a copy, because Apple refuses to listen. (Not to mention the fact that Apple didn't even tell the developer the exact reason until _after_ the account was reinstated.)

Going public and hoping for attention is the only recourse.
20% global market share isn't a monopoly.
Lead qualification automation: test for demand with no-code tools
Honestly I like HN but the constant talk about PWA vs pure HTML apps has became tiresome and unproductive. I haven't seen a single argument that's properly stated about why we shouldn't do them.

Having argument alike "Oh I have to dev that feature therefor X sucks" is not a good enough opinion that i would like to read here neither.
Not a dumb question at all. The thing to keep in mind is that IPO stocks are allocated. There's a fixed amount of shares, and they are priced hoping for a "pop". So basically banks use IPO allocations (in hot companies) as a way to reward good customers. How important are you? Unless you are worth north of $100MM the answer is "not very."

The first step is to have a relationship with a private banker at a big bank/asset manager. You can tell her that you're interested in purchasing stock at IPO. Most big banks will have some allocation available.

Often the minimum ticket size is something like $100K--but there's no guarantee you'll get it. At some point before the IPO, your banker will tell you how much IPO stock was allocated to you. This will tell you how important you are to the bank. They might, maybe, throw you a bone and give you $10K of allocation.

You have to remember that IPOs are intended to be "free money." They are purposely underpriced. This isn't actually as nefarious as it sounds--the only people getting hurt by this is the issuing company, and not really. They want to have as good a relationship with the big bags of money as the issuing banks do. And there is some risk involved, they don't always pop, etc etc.

An important detail is that, because the IPOs tend to be mis-priced, they also tend to be pretty small. A company going public at a 2B valuation might only be offering 100MM worth of stock. At a 30% pop, that's basically 30MM of "free money" to distribute across the entire planet, which is honestly not that much.
You think that allowing another app store will ruin your iPhone?

That's incorrect. Just don't use it.

> "Consider the leisurely style of British correspondent William Howard Russell in his coverage of the Battle of Balaklava in 1854.

If the exhibition
of the most brilliant valor,
of the excess of courage, and
of a daring
which would have reflected luster
on the best days of chivalry
can afford full consolation
for the disaster of today,
we can have no reason
to regret the melancholy loss
which we sustained
in a contest
with a savage and barbarian enemy.

> Not until the end of the story does Russell get to the news: Because of a mix-up in orders a 650-man cavalry brigade charged head-on into enemy guns. In a few minutes more than 100 were dead. But Russell had no reason to write an urgent story because it would take nearly three weeks for his dispatch to reach his readers by boat and train and spread news of “The Charge of the Light Brigade."

It's not that the style was unknown (Tacitus' prose was flattened compared with Cicero's) but that it wasn't expected in asynchronous long-form writing. In a different genre, compare Cooke's easily tweetable summary of Custer's 1876 command:
