I see your point as I thought it for a second as well. At the same time, MS is quite a well-known acronym for Multiple Sclerosis even among lay people (anecdata: I am a layperson and know no one who has MS).

I know this is a tech/curiosity forum, and that it might be confusing for a second, but I feel a bit "Black Mirrorred" if the acronym MS fully belongs to Microsoft on Hacker News. I'm against giving them that power when it's in conflict with a scientific concept such as Multiple Sclerosis as scientific thinking is part of Hacker News.

With that said, I'm fine with whatever the mods decide, I simply want the mods to have considered my argument.

> It will need to support the C interface components like PDO database drivers and the Laravel web framework.

Laravel does not have any C PHP modules in its codebase. While it makes use of drivers provided by them, it does not have any components that are written in C.
Yeah, I often hear about how much better font rendering is on windows and MacOS but I actually find them to be inferior to the clean font rendering I have on linux; blurry red & blue around my text is really not the definition of beautiful text to me, but I suppose this is about taste..
It wouldn't surprise me if Scandinavians wanted to spend the Winter in the Caribbean.
I say this as somebody who really enjoyed W2K, but the complaints about WinXP's default theme are very difficult to understand when:

- The classic theme was just a few clicks away

- Of all the problems with XP, I would not even list the "easily changed default theme" in the top.... 100 or so. I would not expect to see such sentiment on HN, of all places.
I still don't understand how the removal of subpixel rendering in macOS 10.14 is not yet reversed. I can visually relax much more when I work on my 10.11 El Capitan systems.
If you go back far enough then calling GetTempPath() from the win32 API would return C:\Temp. It was always meant as a place for programs to put temporary files, not for users to stuff their garbage.

If you're enlightened you're probably not asking yourself any of these questions nor reading this article.
Just to nitpick, if you're not a native english speaker MS may not even mean multiple sclerosis to you. In my language the acronym would be "SM".

Later edit: and I've never seen the name of the disease acronymed, it's always been in full.
Do you trust Taiwan’s data? They contained and eradicated the disease even more effectively than the Beijing regime, without thousands of deaths and millions of infections.

So clearly there are ways to check the spread and cut out 99% of deaths. (They are also not wizardry or witchcraft. Mandatory masks in public, temp measurement at schools and public buildings, quarantines at entry and positive diagnosis enforced extremely strictly by law enforcement, and tracing the infection chain. That’s literally it.)
Hager is admitting to criminal activity, not saying it's not criminal.
"export it for people to use." you mean sending a csv/xls file ? Sounds alot like Tableau
Yes. Whoever developed it has obviously never seen real primate behaviour which is usually totally driven by what the alpha male thinks or does. A low ranker who tried to police the alpha would get a serious beating.

They never even say what sort of Monkey it is.
I am not sure this is against the guidelines. I don't think it's illegal to post it, but then there are some illegal numbers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_number

However, the commenter might have just posted the magnet link, which is more to the point, and unlikely to disappear (torrent 2.0 notwithstanding), unlike some third-party website (which could also turn out to be an infection vector). It also shortens the trust chain.

The difference between impunity and immunity.

State actors (officials) even acting internationally (outside jurisdiction), tend to have a high level of immunity from legal sanction. Independent and non-state actors less so.

The CIA agent might blow cover or case but usually gets out alive and remains free. The DarkNet criminal, not so much.
South Korea had an election in April putting said people into power. The election occurring during the peak of covid gave them the power to do this.

Their government debt is ridiculously small. I hope they go forward with this; universally country wide.

The current problem is that no basic income pilots have ever been universal. Perhaps universal basic income will be brilliant. If it is, whoever does it first will succeed.

UK has always been a voice of reason throughout the years which gave a good balance to the Franco-German domination. The spanners seem to have many times been a blessing in disguise. (I'm pro European).
Notorious doesn't mean "secret" or "hidden", as you seem to imply here. It means "well-known, usually for negative reasons".

AWS prices are well-known, and not for being low.

Now, the benefit of AWS may well be worth the high cost - that's a separate question.
And what Assange wrote to the journalist was only a part of the password. Assange never wrote the second part. Apparently the journalist had to combine both the said and the written parts to use it but published the whole combination in a book.
Yeah its good, one point that my little experience has shown is that production containers cannot be used for development since they lack all the tooling and are designed pretty bare bones hence the focus is on allowing customising development environments.

Note that there are alternatives to this containerized approach in the nix world with nix packages which I think maybe a better approach for deterministic dev environments but so far containers are all the rage.
Imagine China tried to extradite some journalist of Guardian for exposing 're-educational' camps in Xinjiang.

We would be loosing our minds of how China has audacity to even try shit like that.
True. But neither has the USA. The USA has a long history of interfering in elections. ex the 1996 Russian election.
What do you mean by physically self sorting? I’m taking about turning down the dials to decrease virality, discovery and engagement. If you want to change people’s behavior you need to increase friction.

Agreed. I'd be inclined to blame the coverage rather than the researchers for the 'coarse' interpretation (after all, the original title talks about a 'neural correlate' of consciousness)...

I don't care much about the fonts, i guess I'm the person who doesn't care about typography. i want my linux mouse pointer to behave as under macos.

I can't quite put my finger on it, but somehow on Linux (Mint cinnamon) the pointer always ends up in a place just slightly off from where I expect it to be. Also the movement feels jerky...
I would love a preference setting for this. Thank you!
I'm Dutch and we know it as MS, as we also call it Multiple sclerose [1], so I wasn't aware of that.

Good nitpick :)

Or maybe it's just me who looks at random texts of other languages O:)
Ah I went through this, then trying to get the trackpad to work as nicely as macOS and then trying to get universal shortcuts that work nicely across the whole system... and then realised I'd created a crappier version of macOS inside Linux and switched back.

Edit: just to clarify I'm not bashing Linux, more my usecase.

Async Iteration Semantics
I too would like to know if the performance shortcomings of webassembly are inherent to its design (ie. The sandboxing mechanism), or are just due to a poor implementation.

Basic things like not being able to get stuff from CPU to screen without multiple memcpy's are all problematic too...

You can be both a foreign asset and a journalist. If the US government is good, then conspiring with it's enemies to discredit the US would be wrong. But if the US government is bad, well, the US government has no moral right to prosecute, but that doesn't matter from a power perspective.

There's no legal way to fix a broken legal system, just as an inconsistent logical system can't overcome itself.
What, and let the Russian authoritarian regime to keep going to legitimize itself with its rigged voting system? To stop sponsoring the pro-democracy activists in Russia? No, it's the Russians who should simply cease their meddling with the elections in the US, stop promoting the hatred, confusion, and intolerance in the US public, that's for the first step. Then the Kremlin should actually allow the pro-democratic forces in the Russia to come to power, form the government that would be dedicated to democracy and liberty and protection of the human rights, and reform the stagnating economics, and cease foreign military escapades (and return the annexed territories to their rightful owners: Crimea, Donbass, South Abkhazia, Kuril islands, Königsberg, Karelia, the list goes on and on), that's for the second step. Only after that it would even start to make sense to demand from the US to "not meddle" in Russian elections. Until all that happens, demanding from the US to stop its support for democracy and human rights in on of the most illiberal modern authoritarian regimes is simply disgusting and cannot be met with anything more than scornful refusal.

It's no better than my normal broadband, which is 10 to 20ms, but I suppose you're right. I've streamed games with up to 100ms without much issue with input lag so I suppose that would be fine, although 100ms would probably be too high for some types of games & multiplayer.
This looks nice, but I would prefer a FOSS solution I could truly own myself, because links are personal organization are a very personal thing you never want a company to take away for you-- perhaps you can make a sustainable FOSS business model such as selling customization, support, and taking modifications from users.
A lot of other factors should matter, a famous example is polio, where a lot of the tragedy was in people having lifelong deformations and paralyses.

Personally I posted this article because I was irritated by how often local news would report "today there were a lot fewer cases, possibly due to lower testing" and the day after "today there were a lot more cases, possibly due to higher testing" as if any of those numbers are meaningful alone (compare 2000 positives on 3000 and 300,000 tests...)

When is Europe going to finally recognize it has agency? Blaming the US for waves vaguely things while being mostly stagnant for decades isn't a good look, especially when you've been either an active participant or wholly complicit in those things.
For one thing, as other people are trying to explain, opposition parties are not "unelected".

It's also unclear, to me at least, what you mean by "proposed" and by "shills" and who these people are, specifically, who you claim control the BBC and print media, since despite specifically referring to "Labour" you said you don't mean it's Labour.
Well if you find it let me know. Also normal wheel scrolling
You would still store both future times with offset. When calculating an offset for a future time you take the future time and the zone together to determine the exact time with offset. DST is predictable.
Often they don’t. Time-to-business-date is a business or legal rule, not a celestial one. The “day” often ends at 5pm. Trading systems may have eod at 2. If you deposit a cheque into a machine at 5:30pm on Thursday, that is posted Friday. A trade at 3pm is next-day. Heaven forbid you have a global operation.
We've been building towards authoritarianism since the 1950s when the Cold War started and the reactionaries created the Communist boogeyman.
From what I remember this is holy war territory.
+1 for Shadow. I can play competitive FPS games and actually beat people running traditional rigs.

The only downsides are related to the max storage and shared CPU. Apparently they have future offerings for $50/mo that add up to a TB of storage and stronger CPUs.
Absolutely don't agree. Sure, Mysql mostly became very popular with the rise of PHP in the early 2000's, but Postgres was popular in many less visible industries.

In my 'world', MySQL was seen as an amateur database engine, and never really lost that label. There was some serious hesitation towards Postgres back-then, but eventually it became a good alternative to the commercial RDBMS's. I know we eventually switched everything over. Until the mid 2000's - our server-side software was still sold as a 'blackbox', managed by us, with no mention of it running linux and postgres, but eventually these became more accepted technologies, and towards many of our clients even a selling point. The rise of Redhat in the enterpricy world helped a lot with that.
I recently learned that Calibre is pronounced (by the creator) as Kalibur, not Ka-Libre!

You can imagine that instead of always being sent to Amazon the network could just pop out regular IP on the other end which would be routed to the service of the origin device's choice. Of course this does add more complexity such as abuse prevention but it would make the protocol attractive even if it was designed by Amazon.
I was trying to learn git few years ago. Nearly all articles start from command line and me being more of a visual person wasn't getting it. So I put some days in, found some visual resources (best of them are dead now) and wrote this[0] as an answer to my own question on quora back then. It's not very good but I have been told its helpful.

As screens gain resolution pixels get smaller. At some point there's a trade-off between computation power and effect. At some point sub-pixel rendering is indistinguishable from pure integer pixel rendering to the human eye on higher-resolution screens.

100% speculation: Apple has a history of very narrowly supporting only their latest few generations of equipment. It's possible that they're ignoring "legacy" devices in these decisions with the justification probably being that "They'll buy a new one eventually anyway."

Edit: added missing words.
It's nice to see how some western people want to tear apart Russia. Makes me believe that Putin is not that bad, at least he wants Russia to be a strong independent country, even if his methods sometimes are questionable.

No, you won't tear apart Russia as long as nuclear weapons are ready to launch.
I don’t think it’s that settled at all, certainly not in 1965. Prineas in 2001 showed that MS progression may occur in the absence of immune cells and inflammation, for example [0], and people have complained of progression even when taking extremely strong immunosuppressants.

While involvement of the immune system seems likely, and certainly most treatments target the immune system, I don’t think causality has been rigorously demonstrated. It has however been a few years since I looked into it.

As an aside, ISTM quite likely that there may be several causes for MS.

I'd say look at project budgets and promotion.

If the career advancement suddenly stops and project budgets shrink, that could be a sign. My company recently "transferred" (read that as laid off with a position at another company as part of the severance) a couple thousand people. It was a complete surprise even to the managers about 3 levels up (department heads). The only thing I saw in hindsight was promotions were basically frozen and budgets were shrinking.
Hmm, I had a look, the videos were more like 3 GB IIRC. There is a lot of stuff in that torrent, with the source to DOS, win2K, some Xbox stuff that's 5 GB itself, etc.

I did open a couple readmes, and the poster didn't appear that well-versed with tech, despite meaning well. It's an amateur job, but those tend to do the bulk of the work.
The thrust of this piece is exactly what you'd expect from an agenda-driven left-leaning organization like the Annenberg Public Policy Center. Of course people with limited analytical skills might ride to town on the basis of a conspiracy theory but that says nothing about its validity. Given the very detailed genetic analyses in at least two published papers that I've seen (plenty more), the theory that someone engineered Covid is far from being a ridiculous proposition.

One of the papers states: "Judging from the evidence that we and others have gathered, we believe that finding the origin of SARS-CoV-2 should involve an independent audit of the WIV P4 laboratories and the laboratories of their close collaborators. Such an investigation should have taken place long ago and should not be delayed any
further.". A reasonable suggestion I would have thought.

The takeaway from the Annenberg piece is that only (nutty) conservatives take this kind of thing seriously.

I'd be interested to read a disinterested account of this, but note that the account at hand says that the objection was not about the Chinese (language) Wikipedia but about the activities of Wikimedia Taiwan; not about the electronic encyclopaedia, in other words, but about the association of people.

I wonder what the actual objection said.

Not sure I follow. The solutions proposed in the article - designing your software so it can be live-reloaded, having people who understand the system deeply etc. - all seem more complex and more expensive than just stuffing everything in Kubernetes and letting pods restart.
Clearly, she has not lied under oath. It is the prosecution that lied in misleading the witness on material facts, in which she is assisting. In these new times we might say she has conspired to commit perjury in High Court.
What i wanted to say is that it doesn't really seem to understand the subject and is directed at people who also don't understand the subject but who like to talk about it. It goes off in all angles in order to spark some kind of conversation.
He's just trolling at this point.
Yes, they are - but it's not perjury which relates specifically to witnesses and interpreters. It could well be misconduct in public office, or something though.
As another commenter pointed out, it's not really on the beach per se, but set back and up some. I haven't been there since I was 8 but I have a fairly strong visual memory of the site. It was really neat. There was a spot on the ground where wild strawberries grew (vs the area next to it) in a nice rectangle because there'd been (I believe) a stable there and fertility in the ground was still higher than adjacent to it, 1000 years later.

And it being an almost sub-arctic location growth, decay etc. would be a lot slower. It's cold and maritime.

Also not a terribly pleasant place. Exposed and cold; I remember watching an iceberg float off the coast a few hundred feet from the site. It was August.

That's amazing. Thank you for bringing a hearty chuckle to my morning coffee.
So you pay a public cloud provider for 2x capacity for a couple of minutes while you do the rollout, and in exchange you get a much simpler design because the individual servers are stateless. I think that's better for the business.
A regular Diffie-Hellman key exchange is not authenticated, meaning that you don't know who you establish a key with. To authenticate this key exchange, you would need some prior security context (e.g., some shared secret or TLS certificates).

In pairing scenarios, you often do not have a prior security context, since the goal is to establish one in the first place. Our approach works without a prior security context by using the physical signal propagation properties of the acoustic signals.
Based on my reading of the article all traffic is sent to amazon. So presumably you won't get in trouble for trickling a small encrypted channel of data to Amazon.

Basically with the fixed Amazon endpoint it bypasses direct illegal activity and general network abuse. Of course this means that everything goes through Amazon and that if someone gets your IP from Amazon you still might have some difficulty.

If we're really looking to "leave no trace" on the land as much as we can, that could definitely include a roaming head of 100m bison or so IMO. The way they interact with the carbon cycle could be a net positive.
yes, one of the reasons why I recommend anyone with a comcast connection go buy their own modem and run it as a dumb L2 bridge, into a separate user owned router. For technical people who know what they're doing I'm really not a fan of the idea of the modem also being a router and wifi AP.
