> It's being able to start a high 6-figure to 8-figure business (or even smaller if you are satisfied) and not being laughed at as a failure.

I suspect this is a bit of a SV bubble viewpoint. I don't think that in the general population, if you tell people you are pulling 8-figures in your business, you would be considered a failure.
Livestreaming monetisation: What do camgirls have in common with streamers?
If the corporation notifies you that you are being recorded, then that is also the consent you need to record them. Why do you need to give them notice? They already notified you.

Where is it in law that stipulates that it matters who's doing the recording?
Look into cognition vs consciousness.

A baby can feed themselves holding a spoon, but they lack object permanence (the ball went behind the couch, it's vanished from this universe forever), and certainly aren't aware of stuff like their own mortality, their favorite color, or if they even should have a favorite color, etc

Child development is a lot more studied than I thought it was, and opens a lot of doors to exploring the answers to some of these questions.
I’m completely against Facebook and agree with the sentiment to break up the company, but the fact that you’re in touch with family and friends without Facebook says more about those people...it may not be the same for the GP or many other people where the people in their lives have a lot going on and prefer these platforms for convenience because “everybody is there”.

We can’t achieve change at a rapid pace by dismissing the experience of others.
As others said, typically the required exposure is too long. On top of that, many household items may not be UV safe and will degrade (some plastics), or discolor (plastics, fabrics, etc.). To top it off, you can end up just killing the less UV resistant bacteria, and selecting for the stronger ones. Oops.

Proper UV sterilization takes time (minutes, hours). I'd worry that many people will just wave a light and think "its clean". It doesn't work that way.
Thanks for this, I was hoping to get a sketch of how I should orient my big-picture roadmap to understand digital electronics from the old 'electric light circuit kit' i used to have. While I can't claim that I'll complete this stuff quickly as the sibling reply mentions, I will certainly look into it.

How do you record the calls automatically? Do you have some app or plugin to do this conveniently?
"Inciting a riot" is no different from any other kind of speech. We're not talking about mind-control here, overriding the listeners' will. You speak and other people decide how they will react. They remain responsible for their own actions, just as you are responsible for yours. The difference is that your actions were limited to mere speech, which does not justify any kind of forceful response, whereas theirs involved assault, theft, destruction of property, etc.
Nvidia is singled out for hatred on desktop, because everybody else has cleaned up their act quite a bit. ARM is practically irrelevant on desktop, so the fact that ARM only has closed-source options is just not that big of a deal.

ARM is very relevant on mobile, and on that front so much is closed that basically everything deserves plenty of hate. The GPU is not a frontier there.
Trump wasn't elected because of magic mind hacking by Facebook or whatever. He appealed to issues that people were concerned about, whatever you may think of those issues, and so they voted for him.
Thank you! I will definitely give this a try.

I am claiming that since XP there are continuous failures to move the market into Linux, despite the endless posts that "now it is going to happen".

Front end work is a dead end. The real money is made on the server-side. AWS and others are slowly eating the back-end space with FaaS type offerings, so while it may be a dead end, you might be the only one standing in another decade.

I wouldn't consider React experience from a FAANG any more valuable than any other place. It's the same mission, it's the same code. Infrastructure engineer, on the other hand, yes, very interested in the FAANG experience.

There's no substitute for building fault-tolerant distributed systems. Writing software is one component of that overall job description, and probably not the most important component.

I've wondered if this has all been because TikTok influencers famously tricked team Trump into thinking they had a full stadium for a rally that turned out to be humiliatingly empty.

But this seems overly petty for even Trump, it's just bizarre.
Imagination as a Security Tool
> The main problem seems to be a lack of manpower since development of such a software is a massive effort and takes decades of work of highly skilled mathematicians/engineers/programmers

Point of reference. I interviewed with a large CAD software company some time ago. As I was being shown around, the interviewer pointed to an area with maybe 8 developers, and said that was the team that works only on fillets and blends.

One of the key differentiators of high end CAD is how the packages handle edge cases (pun intended) when you have massively complex topologies. It's relatively easy to handle most cases, but there is a long tail of really tricky situations, and that tends to be where the high end tools shine. It's going to be really tough to compete with that given the investment required.

Y'all should see how some apple folks act in meetings. Best is subjective. Apple is extremely petty and combative. They will dump on people if they don't get their way. They're great at what they do, but the way they do it is questionable at the least.
Sciter doesn't even come close to a fraction of what Gecko or WebKit offers or does, and it still took the author many years to get to that point, so I'm not sure what you're trying to get at. The "JS-like engine" is an excellent example. It turns out, you need an actual JS engine to run real websites, not a "JS-like" engine. The difference between 80% and 100% of that problem is massive, and it also turns out running that fast is a ridiculously complex project on its own. (And, unsurprisingly, the recent Sciter FOSS Kickstarter announced that it would pivot to QuickJS instead. It might be educational to think about why they would do that.)

This doesn't even get into things like translations, technical writing (manuals, help pages, etc), infrastructure needed to actually deliver updates and downloads, collaboration on web standards, etc.
Part of the definition of risk is that it can make things worse!

My point is that in emergencies, stakes are higher, so the potential benefit from taking a risk is higher.
I have found many smart phones have a low power mode. This basically makes the phone into a phone that can run voice, text, and maybe one other application. The upside is the battery lasts like a week. If it was not for hangouts I probably would put my phone in that mode for that reason alone.
For mobile GPUs the situation has always been shitty, so expectations were low.

A decade ago the situation on the desktop was different too.
Nvidia was the gold standard, drivers were closed but so were AMDs, but Nvidia drivers actually worked.
Intel was open, but you couldn’t use the GPUs for anything serious anyway.

Today AMD has good open drivers and Nvidia is the last one with closed drivers on the desktop.

On mobile people are much more used to a closed environment, so less are complaining.

American politicians have been worried about TikTok since long before that incident, and it's not just Trump-aligned people with concerns.
Bingo! I worked in the upper management team of an early stage startup where the CEO was lying through his teeth to investors as well as employees. There were only three people at the top level. He was a super charismatic guy and a great story teller. No one thought he was lying until it came time to raise the next round and the lead investor from seed round ran due diligence to find booked revenue was no where close to what CEO had been claiming.

lol. In the US open jobs for Angular and React are about 50/50. (Indeed/SimplyHired), in much of the EU Angular is way more popular than React still.

Is Angular the new Rails in this regard? It's not going anywhere, massive businesses use it at a huge scale and it works.
Whatsapp is banned in China. I'm guessing Telegram is too. Facebook, Google hangouts, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram all are too, blocked at the ISP level.

> it was considered a scientific impossibility that UV light does anything to a virus at the time

Citation required. UV light as a disinfectant is fairly well known.

It's not because he suggested UV light that people went ballistic. It's because he suggested shining it inside people's bodies. In that same press conference he also suggested using bleach inside the body.
I'd be really interested to learn what specific systems didn't work. I recently commented on the PG&E and fires issue and I think this is significantly different regarding who is responsible - how can a hospital not operate? It's humans performing an operation, they might need data - ok that's something that should be accessible through other systems. They might need devices, is there any specific reason why they shouldn't work offline?
I completely disagree. Quest and a game like Beat Saber are about as broad as you can get. Right out of the box you're swinging your arms around to popular EDM music. The price point is low enough to make it a solid holiday buy for a good amount of people as well. VR is also one of those things that you can show anyone and really wow them. It's not like handing a controller to a non-gamer and having them discouraged because they don't know how to use 2 joysticks.
Managing the appetites requires self-denial. In the case of married couples, the spouse has a moral obligation to satisfy the other sexually within moral and reasonable limits (i.e., sexual abuse or objectification of the other is never admissible).

Phone addiction is in this sense easier. It can also be managed through abstinence or even eliminated cold turkey if you wish because we have no intrinsic desire for phone use, but we do have an intrinsic desire for sex.

And yeah, the passions, when we are ruled by them instead of ruling over them, can darken our minds and enslave us. (In your example, the "daughters of lust" are apropos.) A man has as many masters as he has vices.
I guess for now it's just a power game.

In the future? Who knows what might happen if this sets a precedent. Seems like a slippery slope to me if the US government is allowed to just selectively ban communication channels on the grounds of "security".
Banning a speech app should trigger strict judicial scrutiny for first amendment infringement in the same way that banning a newspaper would:

1. Is it necessary to a "compelling state interest"?

Maybe they are CCP surveillance apps, but that needs be shown in court, not merely asserted.

2. Is it "narrowly tailored" to achieving this compelling purpose?

This seems narrowly tailored to two apps.

3. Does it use the "least restrictive means" to achieve the purpose?

Like demanding that they change the apps rather than banning them.

Ask HN: What are some of the best B2B Enterprise software websites out there?
Hello,

We're looking for some inspiration as we create a new website for our B2B infrastructure software that targets enterprises.

Looking for recommendations on what this esteemed group thinks are some of the best websites, both look and feel as well as content out there.

Thank You!!
Agree with this sentiment. I was in web dev since pre-jQuery/Backbone, but left during the rise of the js-framework wars. I then returned to this area as I needed to add functionality/"spruce up" a web app within my organization and randomly chose Vue for the task. It went smoothly and didn't require re-writing anything.

Meanwhile the web development team are still fighting with the flagship "all-or-nothing" angular app, still stuck on 1.7 because anything else is an entire rewrite.

That "protester" is involved with a cause that preaches armed conflict and the destruction of the US of A. A bunch of jerks like him are being encouraged and protected by powerful politicians who hold the same ideas. Maybe it's past the time we wise up and start evaluating where the detriment of all of us really is.
It's a great cheatsheet for what you need to know, but it doesn't attempt to convince people why they should be wearing a mask.

It's a bunch of facts printed on a page. It doesn't build a narrative and it doesn't form an argument. Unlike the medium article, it didn't make me think about the situations in my own life where I could be doing a better job of protecting myself and others. The medium article spurs thought because it's so well-written!

People need to not only be told what to do to protect themselves and others, but there should be an element of explaining why, and explaining the logic behind the recommendations.

I wouldn't share the CDC guidelines with family. I would share the medium article. You can assign a percentage likelihood of sharing with family, and it's just a guess, but I bet the medium article has a higher likelihood of being shared with others by your average person.
Have not seen any RISC-V offering from the Chinese yet. I wonder if SiFive will have any competition.
AIUI the sender manipulates bits in the packets that the switches use for ECMP (equal cost multipath) to shard the traffic across the available paths. The protocol is designed for very fast feedback about path latency so it can avoid building up queues in switches; if any path seems congested then the sender stops using its ECMP value. There isn’t any duplication of packets (unless they are lost) nor does it rely on global information (because that is far too slow).

(Based on this discussion https://twitter.com/_msw_/status/1297223835519815681?s=21 as well as the paper)
I strongly recommend taking a look at SolveSpace[1] and doing at least the first tutorial. It takes maybe 30 minutes and gets you knowing enough to be dangerous. SolveSpace is missing a lot of advanced features, but is reliable and quite adequate for many practical parts you might wish to print or CNC.

Ok, now show the cars list in three places, and one of them is a subset of only BLUE cars.

Now you have to update the DOM 3x and remember that the filter you set in that one place over there means you need to only show BLUE cars in this one place over here.

When you start to build things where one piece of data is not just shown in multiple places, but is dependent on other pieces of data, managing your state starts to become more difficult than the methodology you're describing.

Developing will power is one of those "easier said than done" things. At the end of a long day of work, without my phone, I find my ability to focus is shot. Especially since I can't work out like I used to, a few more weeks and I should be able to again. Workouts physically exhaust me but restore my mental focus. There are lots of things that drain people (emotionally, mentally) that leaves them in a similar state, where having the device present is just too strong a temptation and then an hour or more is gone.
>China has less incentive to go after me, and what are they gonna do to me?

This is oblivious to what's actually happening. It's quite clear that the CCP's objective is to extend their internal thought controls globally, by any means available - economic extortion, blackmail, bribes, etc. Just because you don't live in China doesn't mean you're safe from this.

One recent example is using economic extortion to prevent NBA managers from criticizing the regime. They do that kind of thing publicly and privately all over the world.

CCP is gathering data on everyone in the world into a giant training database for their AI, which they'll then use to discover and target people for further thought control - politicians, citizens in positions of influence, etc. If not opposed, it will create an incredible chilling effect on free speech throughout the world.

In the West, not only can we elect reps to change laws to protect us from this, we have a mostly independent judiciary to strike down unconstitutional laws or to hold organs of the state like NSA and CIA accountable. CCP has none of that - no free elections, and their courts are an organ of the CCP, not independent.

If the world doesn't push back on this hard right now, it will only get much worse. How many times do we have to learn not to appease authoritarians? They see appeasement as weakness, and it only emboldens them.
GitHub CLI – GitHub’s official free and open source command line tool
My understanding is that there are quite a few perceived threats, but all of them apply to large US corporations as well.

If you collect enough information on people, they can be manipulated to certain beliefs or actions. This is the same information that Facebook and Google use for advertising purposes, similar information to the Cambridge Analytica events, and the risk is China (or a nefarious actor with this information) using it to "meddle" within the US.

Apps collecting sensitive information (which maybe TikTok content counts as?) can also be used for blackmail, especially when owned by a foreign government which wouldn't even blink at blackmail.

There are other more paranoia-centered concerns around essentially-real-time location data being used to "know where in the country to attack".

Basically there are definitely legitimate concerns around large-scale data collection, but the "National Security" concern definitely seems to be "China is less trustworthy than any American company".

This is just my understanding, and am open to being proven wrong here.

Update:

I forgot to mention that I do believe there is a legitimate concern around a foreign government having what is effectively editorial control over a platform which is used by a rather-easily-influenced group as a "news source". Whether or not social media should ever be considered a source of news is a different discussion, but if a large section of the US population is believing what they see on TikTok as fact, and the content on TikTok is editorialized by a foreign state actor, it is a legitimate concern.
If it's an empirical fact, how much objection from how many (and which) people is enough to cross the line into controversial? You can always find at least one upset person about any significant decision of any company, thus it's inherently political when you decide which group of people or how big a group you have to have to merit the "controversial" badge.

Those complaining of being deplatformed would probably agree strongly with your definition, however, so I will admit the definition of this word is itself controversial. Or maybe I shouldn't, because the prior sentence feels very political to me.
> These articles would be much more interesting if they included any suggestions at all for how to address the issues.

Considering that it’s NYTimes, I’ve seen people questioning it because of the trackers it uses to track and profile people while criticizing other companies using similar tactics for making money. Of course, Facebook is at a totally different (evil) level, but NYT shouldn’t get a free pass without criticizing its platform.

This is the message Apple has given from the start, and it hasn't changed much even though it was key to the app store's success. This is also the same reason why VR is mainly PC and consoles.
