> Reciprocation, for what? For censoring their own citizen?

It doesn't matter why they are banning every other means of communication. The fact is, they are banned.

It's not a matter of spite. In every other area of international relations, reciprocation is how things get done. You tariff me, I tariff you. You restrict visas for me, I restrict visas for you.

It would suck for Chinese people overseas. That would be unfortunate. They should petition their government to unban a few means of communication!

2822 excess mortality for Denmark in its flu season of 2017/2018. Extrapolating Denmarks population to Swedens population we would expect 5000 excess mortality for a comparable bad flu season. Current Sweden COVID related deaths are 5800. Less than 16 deaths a day in Sweden since July 2. Less than 8 deaths a day since July 19.

Swedens COVID related deaths will not go above 6000. Seems to be a 0.06% mortality rate, heavily weighted towards the aged.
6000 deaths is still a lot, yes.
Tell HN: Received this email: Google will turn off old Groups for Gsuite users
Dear G Suite Administrator,

We want to let you know about upcoming changes to how users in your organization .com use Google Groups as outlined below:

On September 15, 2020, new Groups will become the default experience for all G Suite users within your organization. The roll out to all G Suite domains will happen over two days. When this transition occurs for your .com, you will experience the following:

The option to turn off new Groups, as the default experience for your organization, will be removed from the Admin Console.
All of your users will be automatically moved to the new Groups experience; each having the option of returning to old Groups by clicking on Settings > Return to classic Google Groups.

The old Groups experience will be turned off completely later in the year (no sooner than October 15). We will be sending you a reminder email three weeks prior to this date.

Once old Groups is turned off completely, there will be no option to use the old version. Users who were previously using old Groups will see new Groups as the only experience available to them. The option to return to old Groups will be removed from their user interfaces.
What do I need to know?

We launched new Groups in May 2020, to provide an experience that matches Gmail and other Google services. We’ve added many features since then, and recently announced the launch of Collaborative Inbox and shared labels.
What do I need to do?

// 2000 char limit

We’re here to help

If you have additional questions about the roll-out or need other assistance, please contact Google support. When you call or submit your support case, reference issue number 164343382.

Thanks for choosing G Suite.

Peloton cuts the price of its most popular bike by 15%
Her opinion seems to echo that of 82% of Democrats and 72% of Republicans, who express concern that the timeline for the vaccine may be influenced by political concerns rather than healthcare best practices.

Given the the messaging from the current administration, those concerns are entirely reasonable.
That’s good to hear. Might give it a go next time I need a phone
Well I guess I'm wrong, although not in a meaningful way. But interesting to know that there's at least one competitor out there.
She was asked by CNN, given that she's running on the Biden-Harris ticket. No one particularly cares whether you care or not, but she is clearly a rather important person right now and was asked this question given that public health has marched to political drums rather than safety drums lately.
The fraud really just steals from legit publishers.

If you’re an advertiser and the display market becomes 90% fraud, you just end up paying 1/10th the rate for 10x the traffic.

Legit publishers get 1/10th the revenue though.
There's no collusion or team up here, the pledge in question carries no obligations and is not legally binding. So this is more of a PR play. Possibly in response to politicians sowing doubt on the efficacy of a vaccine.
More like the reviewer not understanding how HN works and rejecting just to be safe.

If the developer explain it nicely will probably get the app approved as it is a “reader” app, therefore exempt from some restrictions.

The nice thing about human powered review process is that you can actually reason with them even if they make mistakes. I am huge believer in the benefits of having humans instead of algos to deal with. People on Youtube have their videos removed or demonetized left and right by algorithms that you can’t really do anything about.
True plus modern urban living means people don't have sheds/garages both of which I had access to growing up with a lot of the tools as well.
The bit in the middle reads:

To prepare your old Groups users for the transition, we suggest you do the following:

Become familiar with the features of new Groups that were introduced this year.
Compare the features in old Groups that are also in new Groups, found here.

Note: A list of features from old Groups that will no longer be supported in new Groups can be found here.

While new Groups is rolling out during the week of September 15, we suggest you do the following:

In the Admin console, notice when the setting that allows you to turn off new Groups has disappeared. This indicates that the transition is complete for your organization.
Go to groups.google.com as a G Suite user. Notice that new Groups is the default experience.
Assist your users who are not ready to experience new Groups as their default experience to return to old Groups. Individual users will have the option to use old Groups by clicking Settings > Return to classic Google Groups.

>"For a long time we were pushing up against the limits of what the computer could do,” he says. “We were trying to get the most out of the available hardware and then tap onto the players imagination to provide the rest. That was the art of game design, to provide that stimulus. You would imagine being a fighter pilot, or a pirate, or the king of a great civilisation.” Where some games are more like films, gorgeous to look at but where many of the artistic decisions have been taken for you, Meier’s games are more like novels, inviting the reader to fill in the gaps. His maxims."

Leaving the rest up to imagination is the key part IMO. Rollercoaster Tycoon, Simcity 2 & 4 (never played 3000), Warcraft II (and too some extent, III), Baldur's Gate I/II.. the graphics are just enough to tell you what's going on, and your brain fills in the rest of the details. I feel the closer graphics approach reality, and the more details their are, your brain begins to filter out those details, and notices the flaws/unpolished pixels, which ends up taking away from the immersive experience.
It seems odd to write an impassioned comment about how little one cares about someone else’s opinion. Wouldn’t shrugging and then immediately forgetting what they think and moving on be more consistent with your claimed state of mind?
This seriously does have a potential.

Being a developer by profession, apart from programming I spend almost 80% of the rest of the time with the browser. Even in "development process" I use SAAS tools for version control, documentation, communication and collaboration.

My partner almost entirely works on the browser with GSuite and Salesforce.

Though I mourn the loss of control over the software that I own, I appreciate the ubiquity that I get in return.
The first 10% is knowing what is dangerous enough that you need to look up how to do is safely first. I've worked on high voltage electronics - I'm still here because I knew to figure out safety first.
Because the article is about is about political involvement tainting public trust in the vaccine development process, and she is a prominent politician who recently made remarks about the matter.
If you're really curious, hit my profile and email me. Always happy to chat about AO and the fun stuff there.

I was there for about 3 years and left around 2016. It was one of the best and most interesting places I've worked at so far.

The people were great, the work was great, and I personally felt the work came with a huge feeling of accomplishment and made me feel like I was contributing to a better world by facilitating scientific progress.

I was part of the Electronics Dept. which was ultimately responsible for the scientific hardware, the signal paths, and everything between. There were some people in Physical that were more responsible for the electro-mechanical stuff like motors and such. I was primarily responsible for assisting with the analog signal path and was considered a Receiver Specialist, but the latter half of my time there was spent writing a lot of digital control stuff for newer projects as I was the only one on staff at the time who had the skills and time to take those on.

As for finding anything..... that's classified :p

We did manage to talk to an old NASA satellite from the late 70s. The ISEE-3/ICE reboot project. Some details on Wikipedia here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Cometary_Explore...
You do realize that China and the US are held to different standards because of different stated goals.

If we want to uphold freedom and be a part of the world community then yes, we in fact cannot sink to the same tactics and policies as the Chinese government.

Actually this is a well understood principle, and is in fact why our police cannot use criminal tactics to catch criminals (at least on paper).
> stealing information always gives you a big head start if you're starting from scratch.

That's like saying cheating in school makes you smarter and more capable. That might sometimes be true, for example if it helps you reallocate resources more efficiently, but its highly context dependent.

There exists a biased, Western narrative that casts Chinese and East Asians in general as incapable of originality or novelty; that all they do is copy the hard work of Westerners. This is less true of Japan or Taiwan today, but it was very much true of Japan throughout the 1970s and of Taiwan throughout the 1990s.

If we stand back and take an objective look at how industrial and scientific "copying" actually works in practice throughout the world, including among the leading industrial nations, I think it would show the China narrative to be exaggerated. Moreover, the narrative, whether true or not, is dangerous. It causes us to underestimate their prowess, and to the extent we assume that by disengaging and preventing copycat behavior we'll stave off a rising China, we're in for a huge surprise. Not only will China continue to rise, but in setting up an Us vs. Them world we'll have accomplished part of their Divide & Conquer strategy that China will inevitably (and, indeed, already has begun to) employ. And the risks will be greater as without strong bilateral ties--including ties that appeal to the self-interests (e.g. money) of powerful domestic organizations--resort to military aggression becomes a more prominent and easier option for both sides.[1]

[1] Why did the U.S. invade (a 2nd time) and then conquer Iraq, and is constantly on the verge of war with Iran? Because sanctions don't just cut off a country from the U.S., they cut off the U.S. from that country, which means there's no domestic political pressure to avoid war beyond the enlightened beliefs of a diminishing minority. That's why Saudi Arabia constantly gets a free pass--because of the strong U.S. business interests in Saudi Arabia, not merely because of oil, per se, of which there exists plenty of alternatives around the world. Similarly, it's also why Saudi Arabia has always been much more circumspect with their support for terrorism, which is something worthwhile as Saudi Arabia might otherwise provide much greater support for terrorist organizations if they weren't so concerned with protecting their American relationships.

Grover Norquist is probably more of the reason than Intuit.
Well, the container manifest (or whatever you call it) is checked into version control. How you choose to deploy that is up to you, but a ton of CICD tools out there are made for just that purpose.

Likewise, how you separate config data and deploy to production is an age old problem with many solutions as well. Sure, Puppet can even be a solution here, but you're just kicking the can down the road. How do you separate your Puppet code from data? Put it in Hiera? OK, how do you promote Hiera? It's the same issue.

Both of these issues were solved long ago before Puppet came along, and what we all learned from back then still applies: separate your data, config, and code. Version control as much as possible. There are many simple solutions that don't require Puppet. Hell, set up a bind mount to an external config store. Or something fancier like your CICD tool bundling the config data and signing it with a cert that only a certain environment can use so you never get dev code running in prod.

The argument is that when your infrastructure is immutable (which is the direction most of us are going) you don't need a tool to manage the configuration of said infrastructure. Because it can't change. When you do want it to change, you just follow the typical code SDLC and use the powers of version control and CICD.

Those are two questions. (a) No one can make you care about anything. You are totally free to live in apathy. (b) Her quote was included because she is a prominent political figure in the US, and her position is explicitly contrasted with that of the current administration. This contrast is relevant because of the upcoming election.
Because shes running as the VP to the most powerful political office in the world?

We push to each of our customers' environments from our centralized administration tools. Each customer environment can vary wildly (on-prem, AWS, Azure, etc) and ultimately just needs a small component installed for communication with our mothership. We do not worry about the actual hardware or hosting, but do have tools that allow for us to inspect the health of whatever host we are running on from our remote perspective.

Longer term, we have considered shipping appliances (physical or VHD) to our customers so that they do not have to take the extra step of configuring a new windows or linux host each time we want to stand up a new product environment.
Really? Considering the article is talking about how these things could be politically motivated I find it pretty dang odd to then go on by quoting a politicians opinion on the mater...
My understanding is that the data has to be overwhelmingly good to stop the trial early.

I suspect the Trump administration's ability to actually fabricate trial data would be pretty limited without collateral damage (i.e. whistleblowing). Their ability to push it out of Phase III prematurely however is more debatable.

> This method of "filing taxes" makes it easy to comply with filing and I'm guessing it makes collection rates better with less work.

This is by design, in the US the anti-tax crowd wants filing taxes to be harder and more inefficient. It serves their purposes. And they are a powerful lobbying group.
In the UK if you are an employee of one company you get PAYE (Pay as You Earn) which is dealt with by your employer.

I'm 40 and have never had to do a tax return, I get a summary at the end of the year and a breakdown on each pay slip and that's pretty much it.

It's one of those silent services that government does so well it pretty much disappears into the background.
Helped build, grow, and maintain a hackathon. Over the course of 8 years, we've held 21 hackathons. Some have been more successful than others. One of the things I've always done is protect the underlying goal: that it's 2-days the company gives for people to work on whatever they want. People have used this time to make furniture, work on games, learn new technology, and of course, work on new products or tools for the company. You do NOT have to present.

While not all hackathons have produce production level ideas, many have. One hackathon resulted in the initial iteration of the biggest product shift in our company. One that I'm incredibly proud of.

This might not be what you were asking for, but I know for a fact that doing this literally had the most impact on the company.
There is various degrees of violence. In Indian context Kings fought each other to grab kingdoms but that did not translate into general massacre of public for their religious beliefs until Islam arrived.Of course this comes from my little knowledge of Indian History so I will be happy to learn more.

> some old Hindu science of flying machines, plastic surgery between humans and elephant heads. All lost because of outside invasion).

I do not subscribe to this nationalistic view. But then a lot of knowledge from India did get appropriated and lost. Take the example of Fibonacci series. Europe didn't adopt decimal numerals until 16th century and yet Fibonacci was able to invent his series?? No, he himself wrote I learned this from Indian and I am merely translating it. Yet it's called Fibonacci series with no attribution to its origin.[1]

Nalanda reportedly had 10k students, 2000 teachers, and 9 million books. When Khilji destroyed it, library burned for 3 months as reported by the historian of the destroyer himself so saying nothing was lost is just not real.[2]

I've been using Taxfyle recently. It can be a little more expensive but saves time since all you have to do is upload forms for a CPA to fill out. There's also TaxAct if you want to do it yourself. I refuse to give money to Intuit.
I travel by motorcycle a lot, so I'm familiar with the routine. My level of interaction at home (Berlin) and on the road are not that different. I'm not sure if it would be much worse than staying home.

As you say, gas stations (pay at the pump, or go in with a mask), hotels (mask on, often no interaction) and restaurants (yep, that one is bad). The rest would be spent on the bike.

On the other hand, unlike at home, I don't meet anyone else, I don't go grocery shopping, and I don't use public transport.

Of course I could also indulge in a bit of whataboutism about what the locals are up to, but I don't think it's a compelling argument.

At one of my jobs, the very first thing I did when I arrived was redo the code deployment system to get the deploys from 30 minutes to 30 seconds.

Cutting deployment time makes a huge impact because it makes everything go faster. You can iterate faster, which means getting bugs fixed faster, getting data to product managers faster, etc.

It also has an effect on reliability. The faster you can make changes, the faster you can fix errors (as long as you aren't introducing them faster too!).

It's always the first thing I focus on.
problem is after some accidents seconds are counting. In some cases they have less than a minute from the time of the accident (not finish dialing 911) to get a transfusion started. Such cases currently all die, but the medical knowledge of how to save them exists just not a means to apply it in time.
