I think AR is actually the key to this not being a distraction. The thing about glass is that the display was fixed in your field of view, so it had to at once be sorta tucked away in the corner AND also present all at once. Compelling AR could solve this in a very compelling way, where you can now pin fully digital things to your physical world, and deal with that "distraction" that way. For example, I'm watching a re-run of the Formula 1 race as background noise now on one of my monitors, but its taking real estate that could be used for working. With a really good AR phone solution, I could just pin it as a big screen TV on my wall. it'll at once be more present but less of a "distraction"
A key point that people often miss is that an armed population is extremely difficult to control even if the oppressor has vastly superior equipment and training. The citizenry has the advantage of living there all the time, of being able to hide in the buildings (their own homes), of overwhelming numbers, and of the fact that short of full genocide the oppressor actually needs some compliance from the oppressed to achieve their objectives.

Logistically, it is an absolute nightmare to invade a city of 25% armed and trained citizens versus invading a city that is 1% armed and trained citizens. Access to drones and missiles and tanks doesn't help nearly as much as many people would believe.
> Far from it. This is from 1987.

Debate on Maratha history is still going on[1] other chapters of history is yet to be opened and taught.

> Far from it. Mongols, Christians, Huns ... I will run out of space if i have to keep mentioning all the ones that I know of.

Mongols were pretty inclusive and tolerant towards religion until they converted to Islam[2]

Hunas never succedded in invading India. I am not sure which history you have read. Last hun Mihirakula was defeated by Yashodharman and he too was a Shavite.[3]

Christians represent same Abrahmic idea so yes they were also brutal towards other religions but not to same level.[4]

> Might it be a projection of a collective low self esteem felt by a class of people who got left behind economically and culturally

Are you sure I am culturally "left behind"?

Do similar restrictions apply to other news apps, aggregators, or social media?

I feel like you should dispute this, but I have no experience with their review process.
Yeah, you're probably right. I should've said "web standards" rather than "HTML". Ideally, a page structure standard would use a terse file format that supports hierarchy like json or yaml.
We're falling into splitting straws on semantics here.

All repressive regimes repress, that's what makes them authoritarian. But a violent and successful reaction by the opposing/democratic forces implying a large number of deaths is actually quite rare. This is my point.
God I hope this suit is successful. Lots of people here are discussing the regulatory trap they've got, and that's a big problem. But the actual problem mentioned in the suit is deceptive marketing. TurboTax is the worst in this regard.

Last year, I, at every step of the process, declined the expensive options that say "maybe you'll save more money if you permanently switch into this paid mode". Yet after a couple hours of filling out forms, they said at the end that it wasn't possible to file using the free version, and that I would have to pay a couple hundred dollars. That ticked me off. They have all of the information required to figure this out much earlier in the process (income), yet they continue to allow you to pick the free tier up until the very end where the tedium of starting over with a different service is too high. Fuck em.

Their UI is very nice though, especially for guiding people through a process that they almost intrinsically hate.

On the one hand, I agree that the capability is concerning,
but if it only records the behavior within a single visit and doesn't correlate it with an account, or across multiple visits, or across websites at all, I think that that probably wouldn't be much of an issue, for me at least.

However, I don't see a way to allow that without also making the aforementioned unwanted connections also possible.
"I then set up a load of fake accounts, and I find random names and addresses either from publicly available information or from a leaked database that's doing the rounds from a previous data breach. I order Kleinman Candles from my fake accounts"

Do all these accounts have the same credit card number? I'd think Amazon checks card numbers, so lots of accounts can't use the same card. Or does brushing need getting lots of different card numbers too? I wouldn't think they are so easy to come by in bulk.
Good on you for being able to focus on the opportunity.

Too many developers are discouraged when inheriting a legacy app. Nobody wants to be a turd polisher, but like you said, that just means there's even more opportunity for improvement.
Ha, my tooth cracked within 3 weeks of the pandemic.

It was because of taffy. Note to all: taffy is non-newtonian, so if you chew hard, it gets really hard and can really leverage your teeth to fall apart.

A proper fully clientside rendered website gives a much better user experience. Yes you need a strong clientside framework able to render components, maintain state, history etc. Once the application is loaded, the only data communication between server and client is JSON or some other format. Much more efficient in bandwidth and speed.
Another plus is that you can actually have multi platform versions of the application with the look and feel of the target platform. Good luck to get that feeling with a 800ms delay serverside rendered page.

The main reason why you shouldn't do it, is because of SEO. Dynamic sites are considered weak in SEO. Very challenging to get them properly indexed by Google etc.
You also got still a lot of engineers who somehow favour the serverside rendering.
For inhouse internal apps or b2b apps I would always prefer a clientside app.
I don't find your account's premise uninteresting but it is empty and HN isn't your personal ad network.

People still have to manage quite a bit of setup for kubernetes/containers though... and that configuration usually happens with ansible, not chef. I think it's fair to say that Chef has failed to hold their market.
One of the posters above mentioned Wilderness First Aid, which is a great course. Wilderness First Responder goes more above-and-beyond and includes things like relocating a dislocated kneecap or shoulder, splinting, bandaging, administering injections, wound care, clearing a spine, identifying brain swelling from a head injury, etc.

You can do it in a week, living on-site.

Edit: There's also a component on helicopter operations, such as laying out a landing site for when things get really spicy.
It's a classic case of correlation does not imply causation. As implied in the article, people who are sick, stay indoors. So naturally, when they don't get enough sun from staying indoors, they also get lower levels of Vitamin D. And so that is the correlation. It doesn't mean that a lack of Vitamin D causes illness, or that taking Vitamin D supplements will magically cure those illnesses.
Although good and tempting idea per say, I believe this still need to have some additional technologies popping up to unlock some restrictions and really make it "mainstream".
As I see it, this is still restricted for young people with the appropriate skillset (techno/writer,etc..).

Really looking forward to seeing this once the average guy ( here I think to the married man with two kids) will be fully benefit from it.

In addition, I would be very interested to see how big countries will react. I know Us citizens pay their home tax regardless where they live but this could be a huge issue for them in the long term.

> i'm puzzled to say the least. Aren't the 70s and 80s were the bloody decades of dictatorships there? For example:

Yes, but they weren't the cause of the dictatorships' collapses. As I pointed they were actually an argument for their hardening.

By the time those dictatorships fell the guerrillas were mostly exterminated.

Again: my point isn't to deny that repressive regimes repress. It is to point that their collapse wasn't due to a violent reaction but a peaceful one.
Desktop-as-a-Service: Will you soon be running your “desktop” from the cloud?
Extradition and rendition aren't equivalent though.

In the rendition case, you avoid the possibility of airing all sorts of dirty laundry in a foreign court, so it makes sense that they'd pursue that for as long as they could, and once that was not an option pursue extradition while heavily limiting public access (as they have here).
No one touched on this but the experience of viewing through the waybackmachine is awful.

Media many times will not be saved so pages look broken. The iframe and the iframe breakers on original sites can kill any navigating.

The waybackmachine is okay for researching but a poor replacement as a perm link.
It's not set by the employee, rather the employer looks at expected income for the year and withholds accordingly. At the end of the financial year, the Tax dept. does a final calculation and if the amount was too high/low, they send you a notice.

Tax deduction at source is a common concept in a lot of countries, incl. dissimilar ones like India and the NL, where I have both worked. Super convenient and frictionless for the vast majority of employees.
I used to lose so much time to that, imagine coupling it with multi week code reviews (another process that needed to be fixed). I'm actually building a migration tool as part of a web framework (free time project). I'm going to "steal" this idea of yours if you don't mind.

To play devil's advocate, probably part of the reason for the sequence number approach is so if that PR that merged ahead of you conflicts with your migration you're more likely to notice if you have to rename it. I don't think that's particularly common though, and the problem should surface when the CI build runs your migrations prior to permitting the merge to master ( a good CI setup requires you to pull master into your PR if it's out of date, which ensures the combination didn't break things.)
I organized a cookie swap. There are dozens of process improvements and internal efforts that I've had success with but the cookie swap is my favorite story. Without some culture, work is work.

In C++ terms, Arc is a shared_ptr. clone bumps the reference count up. You only need to do that if you want another owner. If you don't, you can take a regular old reference to the contents of the arc.

The core issue here is that it's not clear (from the snippet, but also to the compiler due to the type signatures) when the threads join. If they're joined in the same scope, they could use "scoped threads" instead, which would remove the need for the arc alltogether.

So you see taxes as necessary. That's fine. It doesn't invalidate the point being made.
Helicopters are tricky things. They move very quickly but from call to helicopter taking off can often be a long time. Even in the military/coast guard context, the process of authorizing a flight, turning a helicopter on, and actually getting the thing in the air can easily take 30+ minutes.
I quite agree. HTML/CSS/JavaScript is really flexible for sure, but it's because humans happen to be capable of parsing, and extracting information from, what would be chaos for machines. Is this flexibility really necessary? In other words: How many people jump to the Reader View button when reading a long article? What is the success rate of that functionality? Hasn't anyone realized this functionality wouldn't have been necessary if there were limited flexibility available to web contents?

Imposing structures on webpages as suggested would incur limitations, but it's a necessitated consequence of having content with machine-readable semantics. Think of how we encode characters -- we don't encode them by vector graphics of each character or two-dimensional array of pixels. But rather, we encode characters by concise code points. Yes, we lost flexibility by that. In plain text files we cannot represent different fonts because characters are simply represented with a sequence of code points. But don't the advantages outweigh the disadvantages by a large margin? We can read them in whatever font we like, we can `diff` text files... the list goes on and on. It's unfortunate that web ended up as a huge mess which machines can never reliably comprehend.
Is it really that bad? I know land lords that have had to go to small claims court, they spent like a day dealing with things. I’m not totally sure you’ll break even but it’s not a total loss either.

That reminds me of an AR experience I thought would be nice: when you're interested in renting or buying a home, being able to walk around a neighborhood and see AR overlays with prices, stats, and interior photos of the available homes. Basically an AR version of Zillow, Redfin, etc.

That sounds a bit risky - like if Apple finds out I'll get removed from the store altogether. I guess I might not have any other option if my appeal fails...
If you look at the parameters for the "valuation" of a SARS-CoV-2 infection, they are hard to take seriously. They are based on a mapping of typical workplace injuries to viral infections. This is the paper referenced: http://ftp.iza.org/dp13632.pdf.

A purely asymptomatic infection is valued at $11,000

A symptomatic but non-hospitalized infection is valued at $33,000

If you are in the hospital for any reason with an infection, $512,000

If you are in the ICU for any reason with an infection, $1,100,000

If you are in the ICU on a ventilator, $2,900,000
I am most familiar with this term in the context of detailed weather forecast discussions.

That time-steps for atomic interactions need to be picoseconds or smaller, but interesting biological reactions take minutes+ [eg,protein folding] is also a PITA.
I can't even sign in to SlideShare. "Login with LinkedIn" just returns to the home page without logging in. Maybe they panicked that they were losing their customer database and broke the site on purpose? The only thing anyone buys companies for anymore is their user DB.

From the article you linked:

"A sun lower in the sky and shorter day lengths would have favored skin that more easily synthesized vitamin D."

The article also points out a correlation between latitude and light skin, so the evidence is pretty strong (based only what you linked) for why light skin evolved.
Hold up, did you look at a graph of cases? It has an incubation period. Absolutely every single one of those things is associated with a spike.
I think that a simple chain of small electronic signals could notice the flooding and spread the information to all the other signals in the chain downstream. People could see a small flashing red light chain and rush to the next safe exit. Providing the system with a few discrete metallic scales leading just up in strategic points would save lives.

This would not be difficult to design, just a sensor placed at 50cm high that would activate automatically when flooded) and could be implement discretely without ruining the landscape.

Just an idea that just occurred to me.
It's really weird a choice in the email to provide links that looked like they weren't on GitHub to redirect to the GitHub URLs... For a moment, I was wondering if they had like a self-hosted GitHub Enterprise setup or something, until I noticed the URL redirected anyways.
What does it have to do with Rust? I mean Rust shows absolutely no sign of problems that Haskell had. It's very practical, learns from everywhere it can find a good idea, tooling is great, marketing is great, community is nice and inclusive.
1. Can’t be trusted

2. I’m not saying I can recommend you a better company with a comparable product. But with the way they’re positioning themselves, they have extremely high standards to live up to.

3. Fair point. Let’s see how the Assange trials go.

Yes, China is a concern but if you’re going to provide a better alternative, why make your base and operations in one of the top 3 remaining global concern countries?

I’ve been keeping checking in on Purism for years and have been close to ordering early several times but this uneasiness is what has been preventing me from pulling the trigger.

You are totally free to make a different judgement call and I respect supporting a good cause where you believe in the team. I also do still hope that Purism does become successful and grow and the team is showing promising progress.

Sadly the US is just too corrupt to have this be trustable and sustainable as things look now. I hope they realize this and move. And that we see more actors in this space.
I want to believe this. Do you have any citations?

My experience would suggest shipping higher quality software is a lot cheaper in the long run, but has up-front costs that often times startups can't afford.

Felt this. I had a C64 which came with BASIC. It was a struggle to get it to do what I wanted. Years later, I realized I was trying to things like write functions which you just couldn't do. Gave up.

Years and years later I had a AMD K6 233, had opted to try Red Hat Linux because Win95 was awful and was obsessed with playing Quake which I knew was written in C. So, I tried to learn C. Several times. I never got to the "click" point.

John Carmack, as I remember it, said to learn programming, do nothing else for 6 months. Eventually, years later, I did take that advice. It worked. I remember vividly when I finally grasped pointers. I wrote and expanded a dice roller to gloriously stupid proportions; it was threaded, had a very easy to use and flexible configuration file format and I was working on adding networking when the hard drive died. No backups. Yay.

And a new problem appeared: I wasn't a rank amateur anymore, but for the life of me I couldn't think of any program I wanted to write. So the skills lapsed.

Then I would have too many ideas and interests which resulted in the same conclusion, but would have to relearn first. I'd also be pulled in so many directions (robots! comic book timeline! starship emulator! UNIX shell idea, but in Klingon!), the result was the same: I'd accomplish nothing, despairing of ever doing anything.

So, I remain a perpetual amateur.
There's also a problem with describing your product as "an alternative to". I don't know what Zapier and Airflow is, but now I want to find out, which pushes me towards the competition, rather than just explaining what your product does and have me view the competition as the alternative.
The card number problem should be somewhat easy I would think. You either use gift cards or one of the cards out there that lets you create virtual card numbers for online purchases. I would think at some point if you were spinning up hundreds of virtual cards you'd get flagged, but gift cards should be awfully easy other than the time/effort to actually acquire them.
Aren't they only going to be left with about 3 lunatic users, and perhaps 2 very rich ones that don't notice they're paying for it?

$550/y is a lot for consumer software. Windows OS, O365, nope, I can't even think of any other consumer software priced that high!
These points aren't as opposed as you're making them seem. Throughput is better with careful planning and good design is an investment that pays off later.

Slapping it together pays off today but at the cost of acquiring a debt that costs lower average velocity and lower agility until its repaid.

A lot of small businesses make the decision to take on debt to move quickly at the beginning because the most important thing is initial growth and proving that you can actually make money.

Not op, but I’d call what they’re referring to as a team lead. Usually a team lead manages 3-6 people, isn’t a manager, but is a senior engineer and has technical leadership abilities.

Bullshit. 2,000 IU is like 5 minutes of sun. Of course it didn't help much.

I mean in most cases Google controls both the Ad Network and the analytics people use to monitor those ads. It's easy to imagine some artificial inflation happening.
