In the meantime, in Salt Lake City, a 13 years old kid who committed the crime of being autistic, was shot multiple times by the police. Still alive, luckily.

It's a worldwide phenomenon: cops are trained to execute orders from above without thinking twice or questioning if those orders might be wrong. They dehumanize common people by regarding them as targets rather than persons. Every day someone is being harassed/bullied/robbed/beaten/killed by them, and they usually get away with minimal consequences because of their immunity. I don't see any reasons to believe things are going to change, unless of course people stops protesting and finally accept to live in dictatorial police states worldwide.
Defending freedom will become a crime everywhere; the day one has to choose between doing nothing as a slave or being murdered for defending his/hers rights is about to come.

>If more people are deciding to use the road afterwards surely it means that trips are being taken that weren't before?

Sure. An increase in supply--or a change in its nature--can increase demand.

Not necessarily, in my estimation.

I tried TaxAct. It was the hardest to use of the bunch. In many cases it just has you fill out the real tax forms. Anyone who wants to fill out the tax forms themselves can do that for free, and TaxAct isn't even much cheaper than its significantly easier to use competitors.

It's a culture problem in the web dev world. There is an obsession with new and shiny and building something "cool". It's all about the developer experience and not the product.

That's why there's such insane churn in the tooling and ecosystem. People rewrite and redesign constantly in order to work with the new cool framework.

This is nonsense -- I'm at high risk, and I'd take a flight to Russia right now to get a dose of Sputnik V if I knew I wouldn't catch COVID-19 on the trip.

Those grandstanding against these vaccines in the name of safety should know that they're directly responsible for deaths, and what's about to happen is we will just end up with a candidate from the least scrupulous manufacturer, because data are easy to manipulate and there's a lot of money on the line. I'd almost guarantee that this announcement means we've just traded a stable delivery platform for one of the mRNA candidates with risks that may be unknowable potentially for decades.

I'm a progressive and I get it that everything Trump does is necessarily frustrating, but whoever politicized this in response to his November 1st deadline should be ashamed, including whoever started the pledge that some of these companies signed today.

This slippery slope is not needed. A cancer patient has no say on whether or not he's going to get sick.

Parenting is a choice. One that's been ingrained in most people from an early age, but still a choice. That's in no way the same as a disease.

If parents get benefits, non-parents should get benefits too. Possibly different ones. But we shouldn't pretend that only parents have issues. This is even ignoring the fact that people may have other people they need to take care of that are not their direct descendants.

Extend benefits to everyone. End of story.
And these fears are not unfounded. For example, the 12 year old Colorado student suspended from school because of a toy gun being seen on Zoom. And that was just a toy...

Firearms are just one such cultural flashpoint, where "don't ask don't tell" is really the only modus operandi for those surviving inside the SV monoculture.
I'll second this with a personal anecdote as well.

If you do want to do this, clear it explicitly with your manager/person doing your perf reviews...

I had a non-technical manager who thought I was "avoiding" work by doing this instead of shipping new features and received a negative review because of it, even after explaining the situation.
The risk of getting the virus is death too. If you're already in a risky position (say you're a teacher in a district that is insisting on in school teaching or a paramedic or cashier at a grocery store) then the vaccine trial might be the less risky option.

That's certainly a useful concept, but I don't think it has anything to do with internet speeds here.

The page speeds that either have or have not gotten slower are generally understood to be purely a phenomenon of larger/bloated pages -- not a result of constricted internet "pipes".

If the paradox applied to the internet, then what you'd be seeing is that if pages loaded twice as fast, people would visit twice as many pages. But that's not at all how it works.

You might want to reconsider your approach to those amazon boxes...

1) Amazon puts 'Prime' labelling on all their parcels, not just ones shipped to Prime members
2) People use Amazon as a way to send people gifts! If I know your address, I could order you something I think you might like from Amazon. They'll even giftwrap it and put in a thoughtful note from me! You don't need an account for that to happen.
3) Because of the ubiquity of Amazon, the world is full of reused Amazon Prime labelled boxes. Maybe your ebay seller is shipping you something in a previously-bought-from-Amazon box.
this is overstretching what ownership means. In general, if you buy a product to own it means you don't need to hack into it first. If I buy a laptop and I have to crack all the passwords first to get access to the system then that would not be considered 'owning it' in any normal sense of the term.

In fact the most likely case in which that would be necessary is if it had been stolen

I didn't choose my "moral high ground". I'm just following the laws around social distancing and travel restrictions. Which were enacted in response to people choosing fun over doing the right thing voluntarily.

Translation: I gotta have my fun because who cares if other people die or are inconvenienced.
The virus doesn't care about urgency, but people do. Some things in life can't be put on hold for the virus while some things can. Some dangerous activities are still worth doing because they are important. Some relatively safe activities are not worth doing because they are so unimportant.

The Sturgis rally is on the long list of things we can skip for a year because its importance does not justify the risks involved.
I know most of the comments right now are an anecdotal resounding "Yes" from most folks (which I also agree anecdotally), I'd like to respond to the conclusion of the article (which is that as internet speed increased over the years, page loading times have roughly stayed constant). This makes sense in retrospect because product development tends to consider what the baseline acceptable speed/time to load is and then utilize that allowance fully and load whatever is possible (or optimize down until that point during the development process).

I only wish this wasn't the case, and that the internet speed gains over the years actually meant the browsing experince for the consumers actually improved.
I agree there can be a huge difference in skill between developers, my complaint with the 10x moniker is that it rarely corresponds with those who are actually skilled.
Perhaps on the flip side, real journalism is more valuable locally while sensationalism is more valuable nationally. People might care about facts at home, but they seem to prefer entertainment—e.g., some tantalizing story about some group they hate—on national news. Seems like it could go either way.
Did not know that.

Thanks!
I wonder what are informed positions about these vaccines potentially modifying and patenting your DNA or using aerogels (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6539078/) since these stories float around in particular for this vaccine to my understanding.

Are these all bs? What's the risk?
Oh, it is valuable feedback. You indicated you actually pay attention to ads. They'd be foolish not to notice that.
No mention of the immutable content addressable hash file system presented in the Artifacts System[]. One of the benefits of a system like this is that you can have multiple versions of a library coexisting without conflict with your requirements system. Each program can reference a different hash, duplicates are easily made unnecessary because they resolve to the same hash, etc.

Would love to hear your take on this study which recently came out and gained some popularity here on HN: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S096007602...

Speaking solely as a layman, that study seems like it might be extremely relevant to the discussion here. But at the same time I don't have the background necessary to critique or dissect it.

You're not being snarky. Seems pretty on the mark.
> this is all being done with institutional support, from my manager on up,

I would be very careful with this. I made many mistakes like this. Unless you know this personally, I wouldn't trust this if its coming only from your manager and one level up.

People who control purse strings just don't care about garbage collection.

Even CEO should understand and value the project you are working on.
But you know, arguably the same arguments Epic is making in terms of the app store also apply to the OS, so maybe Apple should be forced to open up IPhones to other OSes as well ;)

I'm sure Apple will be thrilled with this line of reasoning and will definitely argue it (/s).

(In case it's not clear, I'm agreeing with the person I'm responding to, sarcasm over the internet is hard).
Yes but we live in a time after social security, where old people, regardless of whether or not they have children, are often completely subsidized by the current SS taxes of young people.

That's a lot of semantics. It doesn't really make any difference how they are categorised. And it's perfectly possible for someone with liberal sensibilities to be corrupted. In fact that seems to be the theme of the show.

No Agenda does encourage you to think about the news in a more nuanced way. But it deliberately supresses nuance in how it discusses the people in the news. Most of the people they discuss are not given any benefit of the doubt ever. That is not enlightening at all.

Ultimately I think there style has far more to do with feeding the community and generating donations than anything political.
Yeah, I think the lesson was indeed pretty well learned. My initial comment was off though--I said that the banks hold a lot of this debt. I reread and saw that reddit poster claimed that the banks hold very little and pass it down the line to funds. Maybe they hold little enough that they will be fine. Maybe they hold enough that they will need a bailout. Either way they win. I agree with you. Their success with mortgage backed securities last time appears to have inspired a sequel.
Do you want to buy now and pay in 12 months with 0%APR?
Hi guys, I talked to users and have realized, that people in general (and me too):

don't want to wait;
don't have money;
don't have a credit score

So, we build a gift app where you can buy a gift now and pay within 12 months at 0% APR. Or put your personalized gift link on your social platforms and let people fund it for you. No credit score is needed.

As you see, we have become an e-commerce app where you can buy a product and pay later with your friends and family.

I need this product right now for my self, but what do you think? What weaknesses do you see?

I will be grateful for your feedback!

P.S. An example, you can check my gift link on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/timurbeejee/

Thanks!

Timur,
I am using a commercial ISP since over a year ago now. ~400/month and 2,5k install which was covered by a government grant for small businesses.

This turned out to be a very good call as I've heard of consumer ISPs having major problems early on due to the increased load caused by the pandemic while this one never broke and consistently provides me the advertised speed and I feel comfortable hosting services on it (it's in fact designed for that).

Support and account management wise, it has been great. I never have to talk to them, they never have a reason to talk to me (no upselling, "offers", or similar bullshit). I only once had an issue with packet loss to certain destinations, spoke directly to a network engineer (they respond to phones 24/7 and there is no music on hold or IVR) and they resolved it in a matter of hours.

They also have nothing to do with the media or advertising industry and have no reason to leak my info to advertising partners such as Facebook or credit reporting agencies. I am sharing this connection with several people and I'm assuming one is torrenting regularly because the old consumer-grade ISP would constantly send me scary reminders about it but these guys don't have any incentive to do that so it's another plus.
It helps if the founders have kids - both my co-founder and I have young children and we founded the company on the principles of work/life balance being paramount (Tyk.io).

If you accept that people can be productive when scheduling their own time, you find that there's actually better participation and buy-in, since everyone has flexible time, the benefits for parents vs non parents are the same.

Need to take time to take care of your sick cousin? Sure. Need to move to a different country to help your wife go to a specialist? Sure. Been on the waiting list for two years to go on a special hiking course? Go for it.

People can be productive whenever if you let them. But everyone needs to be able to take the same approach to their own work/life balance.

It's the humanist way to work, and if a company doesn't flex to let their employees flourish you're not doing your employees justice.

Folks forget it's a value exchange between employee and employer not a one-way street. That's too easy to forget in the modern work environment.
no it's back. It will probably be gone again if things keep spiraling out of control, but child-care is back in France.

If your conception of Democrats is that they will only vote for tax increases on people richer than them, then you have a pretty inaccurate conception of Democrats.

Yes, Democratic politicians will try to tailor their tax increases to not hit the middle class, but that's because they are trying to attract more voters than just Democrats.
It would be an interesting test to test all USB imagers alongside one another, and then use a different USB imager than the one used to write the USB stick, to verify it.

Or, use every USB imager other than the one used as the writer -- to perform multiple verifications...

Perhaps one would find interesting discrepancies in some, but probably not all, USB imaging softwares -- that way...

Anyway, this one seems to deserve some points for being quite close to as simple as possible, with as minimum dependencies as possible...
Can you give some examples of what you're referring to? Generally what is wanted is for problems to be solved by the government providing services that we all pay for through tax revenue, not for problems to be solved through private donation. I legitimately can't think of examples of what you're referring to.
> Modern technology

Modern technology means that we need much less labor than we previously did, while doing much more. That rate is increasing. Jobs are disappearing.

Why do we need to add so many people? We are at almost 8 billion and growing very rapidly.

> If all of a sudden, say, 50% of the people having children now, in developed countries, would decide to not have children, we'd probably have societal collapse

Maybe. Maybe not. Because the effects won't be felt for a while. It's possible that society would collapse, but it is also possible (and very likely) that it would adapt.

If it turns out that we can't adapt to this, then it means that humanity's days are numbered anyway. Because we can't keep growing indefinitely. One day this cycle has to end, one way or another.
I used this for a couple of toy programs when I worked through last year's Advent of Code. I found that it worked well and enjoyed using it, but again these were for toy programs.
Oh I wasn't aware of that. I don't really use many of them. Just the play store really, I did notice that one didn't support it right away. I don't even use Google Maps, nor Gmail, Chrome or Youtube etc :)

With third-party apps there was a bit of a lag in support but the same goes for dark mode on iOS. Even now some apps don't support that.

But right now the main apps I use on Android all support it. Samsung Mail, OSMAnd for maps, Firefox (with dark reader extension that automatically matches the system dark mode!), most chat apps I use, password store, MS apps I use for work, etc. It's really amazing to have this. I'm sensitive to too-bright displays and most displays these days are tuned for maximum output, not minimum.
I don't think the people buying salvage are the problem. Its all the news and blogs that just LOVE to pick up on any anti Tesla story they can. Do they report when an ICE vehicle burns up? Not really. But a Tesla catching fire is massive news.

Many people make that choice.
Yes, the ChAdOx is an adenovirus carrier (chimp? to minimize human pre-infection) while Moderna and BioNTech as the parent states involve injection of mRNA (not DNA although there are other vaccines that do that) lipid particles that human cells then generate spike protein to simulate viral infection.

There are still other attenuated virus and other vaccines under development, they just haven't reached Phase III. Novavax even does something similar to what you describe (spike proteins with adjuvant), but it's also not past Phase I/II.
Dark Ages are traditionally 500 AD.

The period of ~1000 BC was solidly Bronze age, before the classical era or antiquity (~500 BC), before the Roman Empire, before the fall of the Roman Empire leading to the Dark Ages.
