That's a potential explanation, but is it based on anything?

Per the IMHE's COVID page [1], mobility has been depressed, around -30%-35% at peak, and that does line up with the peak of deaths, so there's some merit to your argument there.

What doesn't really line up is that mobility quickly rose again, up to around -25% and then -15% from base line, without a corresponding increase in cases, deaths, or hospitalizations. It dipped again, and then went back up, and is now hovering closer to -10%.

There's also been virtually no mask usage throughout the entire pandemic.

Compare this to the US [2], which fell to -50% at peak, and has never risen above -20% this entire time.

My hot take: hamburger menus are a really bad UX paradigm in almost all cases, and bottom tab bars are much better.

So, I disagree entirely: iOS can easily support fantastic HTML5 mobile apps... if push notifications ever become available.

From what I remember, Google started switching to bottom tab bars a couple of years ago, even on Android. But, when you have a bunch of features, it's much easier on the developer (not the end user) to just stuff them in a hamburger menu and say "eh, good enough..."

Link that seems relevant, but I've really only skimmed it: https://uxplanet.org/tab-bars-are-the-new-hamburger-menus-91...
There was all kinds of trade union opposition to the Vietnam War, which is really no different from tech workers protesting against collaboration with the military and other violent state forces. Many of the leading figures in the Civil Rights Movement also came from labor organizing backgrounds, and while unions like the AFL-CIO have mixed records, support from organized labor was crucial to it success.

The cleavage you’re describing between ideological and material concerns is one that was introduced as part of the neoliberal ideology of the 1970s, in which Capital intentionally carved out a narrow space for identitarian claims to better defend itself from the multi-constituency groups that were attacking it in the 1960s. But it doesn’t reflect the real history of how solidarity functioned in the period.

There is certainly a shift in white-collar workers beginning to understand themselves in terms more akin to their working class predecessors, especially as it relates to hierarchy and power dynamics in companies. But this is not too terribly surprising given that massive wealth inequality has produced an even greater degree of proletarianization, even among the highly educated workforce. Google has more contract employees than regular employees now, for example.
Last I knew, OpenSSL required perl to build.
They also have the highest unemployment rate among neighboring countries, so it doesn't seem like they continued living their lives freely, either.

In some places, like Sweden, many people have voluntarily adopted policies much more strict than required by law. In other places, like the US, many people have chosen to live lives much less strict than required by law. Government mandates alone don't make as good a basis for comparison as actual activity.
I also have some questions/concerns over the NPS. Online surveys, which is effectively the instrument of NPS, typically yield statistically incorrect data due to, often, some flavor of self-selection bias. If you think of an online survey as an experiment, they rarely allow enough control over the sample to mean much. However, that's not to say it's impossible to properly conduct an NPS, just that it's probably very easy to get wrong which may paint a false picture.

I found and reported a nasty compiler bug with basic arithmetic just a few weeks into learning C++. My previous programming experience was in BASIC and 6502 assembly, so it was my first experience with a compiled language. My bug report was accepted and the vendor issued a quick patch.

After this formative experience, it took me years to stop instinctually assuming that I was less error prone than the compiler.
Likely this can be easily gamed. But in the context of Snowflake's value, NPS manifests in Net Retention, which is likely to be more difficult to fudge:

> For every $1 of revenue Snowflake received from their customers a year ago, that same pool of customers are now paying $1.58.

Net Retention is more important, but in this case it also gives credence to the NPS number.
Hi HN, I'm the author of okdb - wrote it to make it easier to create collaborative apps.

> So, if it is the fault of each black individual, as you claim is the underpinning of society, why are black communities being more policed?

Because effective policing means distributing police resources according to demand?

> police institution that trains its members to be more aggressive and fearful of black communities?

It seems perfectly reasonable to be more fearful when going into a more dangerous area. I don't see any evidence that police are somehow less aggressive or fearful when going into areas dominated by violent gangs with other skin colours. Can you point to some official training doctrine that tells police to be fearful of black people? I'm quite sure that has been illegal for a long time.
>I think it's quite reasonable for a company to say we don't know exactly what our supply chain looks like and the only way anyone can build electronics is to use somewhat-questionable supply chains, but we'll do the best we can and and take action if we know of specific instances of harm

No major semiconductor companies really does that that and definitely no tech company using the devices made by those semiconductor companies do that either. And even if they said they did it is still happening, so by the same standard this article is finding Palantir culpable of the deportations, I'd say its fair to find every tech company culpable of child slavery and exploitative mining practices as an example.

If it weren't Palantir it would just be another company. It seems pointless to focus on them specifically or ICE or any of the enforcement agencies for that matter when what seems to be the actual driver is the policies and laws that necessitates their existence. Seems like focusing on changing that is a much better target if you cared more than just assigning moral blame. Whether or not Palantir denies anything doesn't really change much if the outcomes are the same.
> how often does it get triggered?

That's my least favorite part of HN: There's zero transparency in the moderation and a lot of it is extremely subjective.
Which is a good and laudable thing! But you're talking about the place the Treasure Department has in advocating for political positions that are inline with it's mission. I'm talking about whether Bob the coin stamp machine operator holds responsibility for building a technology that is, in some cases, used for nefarious purposes.

Bob doesn't want to be accosted by Richard from accounting because he doesn't do enough to advocate for anti-money laundering political causes or senatorial candidates. Bob just wants to show up and do his job.

Starlink is a continuation of giving away radio frequency bands, which doesn't thrill me, but it's not the worst offender.

The space it consumes in space isn't really concerning though. It's a tiny fraction of the potential total satellites. It's in low enough orbit that the satellites deorbit instead of consuming space in space forever. It's a huge economic driver for further access to space for everyone since it finances launch systems.

No one else wants that space right now, so why not let spacex borrow it.
We can always offer a PR that allows the library to run on older versions. I am limited to 3.6 on many environments and would be extremely happy to know others on 3.6 have better library support.

Having said that, It's not something I feel. I know some things can get faster and some syntax can be improved, but, so far, I'm pretty OK with those envs running on 3.6.

As for me, locally I use 3.8. If I do any 3.8-ism, CI will catch it.

There is a 0% chance of Musk delivering.

OTOH, there's a good chance that the many engineers and scientists at SpaceX, working under Gwynne Shotwell, will deliver something viable.

Stop giving Musk credit for the things he didn't do. His death won't affect the viability of Starlink, and if anything, it would likely improve the final product. SpaceX's successes and failures are generally inversely proportional to the attention Musks puts into running the company; i.e., SpaceX's success is inversely proportional to his micromanaging and meddling.

These are progressive ideals pushed usually by people who share other progressive ideals, but employee representation is not itself ideologically motivated.

There are many ways to share reproducible Jupyter notebooks.

Google Colab now supports ipywidgets (js) in notebooks. While you can install additional packages in Colab, additional packages must be installed by each user (e.g. with `! pip install sympy` in an initial input cell) for each new kernel.

repo2docker builds a docker image from software dependency versions specified in e.g. requirements.txt, environment.yml, and/or a postInstall script and then installs a current version of JupyterLab in the container. Zero-to-BinderHub describes how to get BinderHub (which builds and launches containers) running on a hosting provider w/ k8s.

The argument of ethics always exists. As far as I understand the parent comment, they are talking about scenarios where a political position does not necessarily align with the ethics. For example, ending racial discrimination is a right thing to do. But ending racial discrimination by running a campaign on Social Media isn't something that everyone will agree with.
Exactly, I love having my own photos as a screensaver with my current Chromecast.
The title is wrong. The VPN traffic does NOT leak. What leaks is the traffic that the VPN software tries to block when the VPN connection is not active. Mullvad uses Windows Firewall to block all internet access if VPN is not active (if the user configured so) and WSL2 bypasses this by not going through Windows Firewall. When the VPN is active, WSL2 traffic IS tunneled through the VPN.

UPD: The solution may be to have Windows Firewall rules apply to WSL2 or have Mullvad control Linux internet access through on-the-fly UFW settings update or completely disconnect internet (but that likely does not work nicely and is why Mullvad went for the Windows Firewall based solution in the first place).
Looks great, been waiting to get out of the roku world for too long.
Indeed, it's just a correlation: if we sort people by how much they earn, of course university degrees will be more prevalent in the high end than in the low end. It could be that degrees cause more income, or that more income causes degrees, or that there is a common cause: people from a more well-to-do social backgrounds tend to get degrees.
It's a pity no one has leaked the msn server and client source code yet. I loved it so much when I was a teenager.
How is Netflix an “enemy” of Apple? Apple has made sure Netflix runs well on all of their devices since the first iPad.
I learned French, German and Italian to a good level at school and then by working there in my early 20s. Some decades later, I don't speak them that often but sometimes at work with customers. I am still pretty good in all 3, and a day or two in country polishes off the rust, e.g. on holiday, though of course not back to my highest level.

I later tried to learn Spanish - (similar to French/Italian) but couldn't get it to the same level - easy come, easy go. Long term interest in Aikido lead my to attempting Japanese - but again it's never stuck. At university took a course in Russian - made good progress for a year and then left it - all gone!

So for me it's a combination:
- learning to a sufficient level,
- with consistent effort at the time (some level of immersion)
- it is easier when brain is younger!
GammaRay is like Dev Tools but extremely unstable, and requiring fiddling with ptrace permissions on Linux, and I don't know how to make it work on Windows.

It wasn't clear from the post whether that was a valid input. If it is, some parts would need to be re-ordered, making it a very fancy search/replace indeed. But I still think it's possible. One or two replacements to switch the ordering, and then my original one to get the final output.
The AppleTV also has these features.
Right, this is as much a feature as it is a bug. But it's absolutely something that should be documented and under control of the host-side security layer.
The windows research kernel has been leaked for more than a decade. It's actually quite clear that ReactOS has been taking a look.
No, we mainly focus on data modeling on top of a warehouse and deep analyses. Our customers are often data analysts, data scientists, or engineers.

That being said we would love to partner with a CDP like mixpanel and amplitude to have marketers and product people get quick insights using the data that is modeled and cleaned by the data team.
This comparison is too simplistic to be useful. Sweden and Norway have a couple of large cities, and then endless swaths of nearly-uninhabited tundra.

If you count Greenland as part of Denmark, its density probably drops to below that of Norway or Sweden, but it's easy to see why that wouldn't tell you anything useful about covid.

It's much better to compare metro regions (e.g. stockholm metro vs copenhagen metro) against each other, if you can find the appropriate case data.
>there is no answer to "how many deaths are worth it?"

I ran into several other JIT bugs working on Google Maps. Since I worked on location, my code was the first complex thing that ran under most flows, and rather prone to being the first thing to crash when the system behaved in a very dumb way. About once a year we'd get a spike of crash reports from some ancient version of Android where a third party had built a custom JIT to get the system to run on very cheap hardware. Then the crash would be something absurd, like a null pointer on a value that was never assigned null, or an ArrayIndexOutOfBounds on a statically sized array that was only ever accessed with constants.

Sometimes someone would actually try to solve these, but I preferred the times where someone just changed the Proguard config and hope it shuffled things around enough that it didn't trigger whatever bug the JIT had.
That's also mistaken. SSC would have placed tighter bounds on several measurements. The LHC is about more than just discovering the higgs as a binary yes/no.
The goals have fundamentally drifted on covid. In the beginning it was flatten the curve so that hospitals aren’t overwhelmed. The goal wasn’t to eradicate covid but to slow the growth to an acceptable level.

We are way beyond the point where hospitals are horribly overwhelmed, and yet the desire to continue lockdowns persists. I’m left with the conclusion that people are some combination of 1) scared, and 2) spiteful. Wanting to see the economy fail to punish rich people and corporations.

The goal wasn’t ever to save every last life no matter the economic consequences. Unemployment kills, too. I think we’ve effectively lost our minds on covid.
The webcomponents supporters seem hell bent on placing the blame somewhere other than webcomponents themselves. In the “truckload of dependencies” they fail to ask why those dependencies are really there, and in that required JS they fail to ask why its really needed. The webcomponents model isn’t just broken, its thoroughly broken, and I actually hold the opinion that it was never even a good idea, because it’s simply the wrong abstraction layer to be extending on.
In-house graphic designers for EVERYONE!
Every startup would love to have their own in-house designer, but very few have the bugdet or volume of work to justify hiring one in-house

You could increase marketing output by 3x by adding an in-house graphic designer. But for most of you an in-house designer is a luxury that you can’t afford, until now...

Times have changed and now any team can add a super talented designer without the cost and commitment of hiring someone full time.

If you want to see the future of creative work and how you can add your own super talented designer to your team this week for what it would cost to hire a part-time minimum wage employee, check out darkroast.co

P.S You can even test out your new graphic designer for free

Lockdowns are a rate limit, not a cure. Flattening the curve does not reduce the area under the curve, it just spreads it out over time to prevent the hospitals from being overloaded.

So yes, most of the deaths would have happened anyway, but over a longer period of time. The improvement in treatments has not been substantial. Most of the deaths in Sweden were among high-risk groups, such as elderly people in care homes, who probably could not be saved if they got the virus today rather than several months ago.

Sweden intentionally set themselves up with a policy they can sustain for a long haul. They were betting that the pandemic will last a long time, certainly longer than a lockdown can be sustained.
The slow scrolling and effects are a disaster. What were they thinking?
Most informed people have correctly guessed that the ReactOS devs have used the old windows research kernel leak in their development.
Pretty interesting (and disappointing to me) that their top of the line phone has a smaller screen than their mid-range.

I wish they'd make a proper 7" phone. Not 7" because it's super elongated (Galaxy S20 Ultra), but like the old Nexus 7, minus all the bezels. Because the Nexus 7 was wider than phones are today, it has like 30% more screen space than a 7" phone.

Yes, the randomness between even neighboring countries with similar cultures (say Spain/Portugal) indicates that there's a lot more going on. Good research on the success and failures of Sweden's approach (and therefore indirectly of the general approach of the global consensus) will require much more thorough investigation of the various factors and confounding variables. It's going to be a center of research for years.
That you have to ask this question. Google naming is terrible.
Maybe this will be a product which Google cancels twice then.

Would that be a first?
Yes I know. My point was that Android TV is already an operating system in itself (which already has it's own TV features), and Google TV is a rebranding of the software running upon that OS. Namely, the new home screen app.
