A hypothesis: not diversity, but division. Consider the Kurds; their traditional territory is in about 5 modern countries, and they don't particularly get along with any of their governments.

That isn't directly related to "scientific development", but that, like most things, relies on economic and political stability.
Actually they can, though it is not recommended as URLs appear in running text, which may break lines at space characters. Just look at appendices A and B of RFC 3986.

Although it's recommended that you encode them in user representation (for this reason) you can certainly should be able to send a space character through at the protocol level and if not it's a bug.

Note that a space is not valid in the host name portion if you are using DNS (which most URLs do, of course).
Per October bulletin, it is kinda odd that the filing dates moved up significantly but final action dates are still lagging for India. In your opinion/analysis why is that the case and do you have any estimates on expected trajectory of final action dates? Thank you!
The opposite strategy is to talk about politics constantly, so that it's painfully obvious who's in the minority.

Which is better for a gay man in Saudi Arabia? A company where people only talk about work, or a company where everybody is expected to take a stance on homosexuality?
And cultural. It’s non trivial to have a team working cohesively both in India and USA. Even between cities it’s difficult
He's brilliant, and he explains complex concepts really well.

I can't fault him for being a bit "over-neutral", for lack of a better way to put it. It's how economists are trained to express themselves and, more importantly, I don't think he'd ever get a fawning piece written about him by the fNYT if he took the approach of, say, a certain other gifted writer whose name cannot be spoken here.
Crazy how natural selection didn't start with darwin and even crazier that people keep discovering this.
haha. Actually SeaweedFS started with a worse name. But some users warned me of how bad the name was in Japanese language. So I added "Sea" in front of the old name.
The replication crisis is only possible precisely because scientific claims are by definition falsifiable. What's the religious equivalent of the replication crisis? Holy wars?

The replication crisis is an alarming and embarrassing problem, driven largely by the slavish "publish or perish" incentive structure. But I don't think this relates to your original claim that "no one - NO ONE - is verifying anything personally. No one is testing the claims." It's through exactly those attempts at verification and testing that scientists are realizing that standards of statistics, transparency, and integrity are not good enough.

> I love science, and the scientific method. But, not the science we have. It really is akin to religion - both are means of governance of the masses by controlling what is acceptable to think about.

Science is inextricably linked to politics and society, as you rightly point out. Good science indeed can and should guide policy and governance, but calling that "controlling what is acceptable to think about" is wildly pessimistic.

Your argument has evolved into "scientists and science is imperfect due to various sources of bias." That's true, but I disagree that this makes science "absolutely equivalent to religion."
No pain, no gain.
> So. What do you propose?

Not GP, but I propose doing absolutely nothing.

There have always been tabloid newspapers, underground conspiracy theory magazines and various AM broadcasting stations peddling all kinds of nonsense.

The internet is just a new medium that’s joining the club.

There is no substitute for critical thinking. There are always going to be people who will hold opinions that are anathema to your beliefs. Often, those opinions will be the majority and you will be in the minority.

You learn early in life to ignore the crazy people on the sidewalk holding up signs and screaming about lizard-men running the government. You also learn early in life that politeness and civility will carry you a long way towards being respected in your community.

The internet is no different.

If you can’t function without a school teacher in the room, you aren’t ready for the adult world. We don’t need facebook or twitter or anyone else babysitting us as we go about our lives.
In that sense, Proxmox should really receive more attention.

It's basically a clone of VMWare, but virtualization is based on KVM/Qemu, and can also boot LXC containers.

It's free and open source (it's based on Debian) but you can buy a license that translates to support.

edit: doesn't work on raspberry pi AFAIK, though.
Banning ad-based news, or at least ad-funded social media. They only push garbage because it attracts eyeballs, which makes them money. Just like tabloids.
Thank you for the write up. So if I understood it correctly, any B.Sc. degree plus 3 years of Computer Systems Analyst experience would qualify one for Computer Systems Analyst TN?
If I want to attend a bootcamp for a couple of months, is the M-1 visa my only option? How difficult is it to get?
Are you advocating against interracial unions? On an argument that mixing leads to less diversity over time, thus implying that mating with those those most like ourselves is more genetically desirable? Ever heard of blue blood, or the Hapburgs?
I think your view of what misinformation looks like is a bit outdated. It's not just dumb chainmails anymore.

One claim I saw passed around recently, for example, was that this particular video on the White House lawn was greenscreened. The people I saw discussing it were saying things like "you can tell cause of how pixelated the background is" or "look, the trees are on a 10 second loop!". I don't know what we could put in the public education curriculum to stop people from falling for this kind of thing.
I don't know if government is comparable with open source. Open spurce is like an ideal utopian society where everyone wants to see the project work well and have different ideas for how.

Government has a lot of corruption, people who don't care about their jobs and the stakes are much more personal - greater personal wealth and power at stake.
I'd also argue that what's left of the corporate media is rapidly losing credibility, highly partisan and rarely objective. this feeds social network frenzy, a lot of which is people parroting and attempting to amplify ideas from their preferred channels. There's always been a huge corporate yellow journalism problem, now it is possible to instantly orchestrate rage and frenzy repeated across countless personal accounts. Fear and hatred is highly corrosive....
How lucrative is substack?
Agreed. Channel margin can exceed 30% commissions for enterprise SaaS.

I see more of an issue with Apple telling Telegram how to moderate their platform than with the high fees for distribution on the platform.
This is absolutely true. Another example:

- French (and German) companies own most of supermarket chains in Poland: good.

- Polish long-distance truck delivery companies are among the most competitive in EU due to lower costs of workforce: bad, France has been lobbying hard against them for years.

Hasn't the exact same thing been happening already for a long time with Google accounts?
> This was already on the table. Generally speaking, you get what you pay for.

Right, but now companies are a LOT more comfortable with it than before, and have the tools, the management training, and the executive buy in to accelerate this.
Correct. But all it needs is for one company that is (or has offices in) the EU to to set a precedent.

The US is also making rumblings and I had high hopes when I started reading the senate report [2]that began

"Nearly a century ago, Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis wrote: “We must make our
choice. We may have democracy, or we may have wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we
cannot have both.” Those words speak to us with great urgency today."

However the conclusions (page 375 for the impatient) left me underwhelmed although their comparison to the early heydays of the railroad empire made me chuckle.

If I want to do a 10 week internship in the US from an EU country. Would this always be possible or do I need to apply for a lottery of some sort?
Ive seen that one already, and just listened to some of it again s a quick refresher.

Chomsky does accuse the US government of not wanting a democratic government in Egypt, but doesn't actually blame them for the failure of the Morsi government. Instead he blames his friends in the left Liberal movement of Egypt for supporting the Military coup.

As for Obama fudging the question of whether it was a coup, that's exactly the useless after the fact hand-wringing I'm talking about. At that point the coup was a done deal.

It may even be true that western leaders prefer to deal with Middle Eastern autocrats, but (a) when given the opportunity that's not what they set up in Iraq. And (b) they don't actually get to decide who rules any Arab countries anyway. Even in Iraq which they conquered, because they handed that decision over to the electorate.
Some people find satisfaction in their work and enjoy creating things outside of the usual work week. It doesn’t have to always be money driven
I think a biggissue in this space is how dated the US banking industry is. They trail behind in so many ways that are anti-consumer and then they're used to justify draconion mafia moves like this one from Apple.
Honestly, I find Twitter's editorially driven hash-tag auto-complete and "trends" to be one of the biggest sources of misinformation out there.

It's laughable and frankly patronising that they even pretend to not have an opinion or a political leaning. The more they try to wiggle out of the Web of "disinformation", the more firmly they become lodged in it.
And is Fox successful in determining what is okay to say? Do you see ordinary people afraid to say something because Fox said it was wrong? Facing social, professional, and even legal consequences for expressing disagreement with Fox?

There is competition in establishing the truth. Not as much as I'd like, but a decent amount. Reducing that competition would be bad.
natural selection doesn't fare well with leftis minds.

Would "porting" Whatsapp mean that the end result would be able to communicate with users using Whatsapp on Android, or would it just be Whatsapp on an entirely separate network, like Signal?

The former is a lot more valuable to me than the latter.

>I always wondered if there could be some sort of in-world explanation as to why all the aliens in star trek/wars are so ...humanoid.

I'd say that for most Sci-Fi Movies/TV there's a couple of reasons:

1. Non-humanoids are less relatable than humanoids;

2. Budgetary restrictions and the relative immaturity of CGI holds us back from creating fairly realistic and relatable alien species.
Plan 9 from Outer Space – Amiga – ending
It's awful that in today's world, a feature of a platform is that they don't partake in a particular scummy business practice. It's a shame that we even have this issue.
> Surely testing what you know against a contrary opinion can only be a positive experience.

Trivial counterexample: if I repeat "you are an [insert your favorite insult here], what you say is false" again and again, which can be considered a "contrary opinion", you will not have a positive experience.

> Yes, but when you haven't verified, you can't say you know. You literally can't. You believe.

How are you sure that your senses provide you with an accurate representation of the world? You can't. So you believe they do. And you thus know nothing at all. See how easy it is to come up with these broad judgments which, while interesting from a philosophical point of view, are totally useless in practice?

That's my point: I have no issue discussing cartesian doubt, for example. But this does not imply at all the science to be invalid, wrong, or the same as a religion: that's the pitfall you're in.
Detecting Iterator Invalidation with CodeQL
Both do NOW. In Ireland’s case, honestly, we probably have the EU, a massive stabilising influence, to thank for that, along with treaties that make the border a day-to-day non-issue (you can walk across it without noticing). In the case of Korea, the opposite happened; the border became so fixed due to external influence that there wasn’t much anyone could do about it.
What's the "So.... [sic]" supposed to convey?
"When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure."

Engagement only measures engagement. I find Star Trek engaging, but one thing it isn’t is educational.
The article is pointing out how popular stories exacerbate stereotypes that are based in class, and most stereotypes are rooted in some truth. But the whole point of stories are that they are fiction, and yet we often see them as reflecting the real world. Pop culture influences our behavior. You may not care about these issues but the article is merely pointing out that the issues exist and how to mitigate them - should the storyteller choose to do so. There's nothing ridiculous about that.
If I understand the requirements correctly, it's _any_ diploma or degree, plus 3 years of Computer Systems Analyst experience.
Is it really off topic?

Whats the cause of this bad decision?
If this works, it would be Indians, Chinese and Eastern European coders who would make up the majority of Microsoft rank and file in a few years. Killing the H1B visa was not going to save American jobs, the corporations are always a step ahead. We are looking at a Microsoft with a truly global workforce. Why pay $150k to a dev when it would buy 5 Romanians instead who are just as good.
> ex: NYT

NYT is a great example of this. It took me multiple attempts over a span of 2 days to cancel my NYT subscription. There have been a few times since then when I've been tempted to re-subscribe (their election results tools are great), but remembering how hard it was to unsubscribe, I don't think I'll go back.
I've been saying this for years. At the risk of hyperbole, it's not an accepted explanation bc teaching such in school would be tantamount to saying something other than Western culture has value.

Can down voters please explain why you disagree? (Unless hn is just overrun with deluded brainwashed lunatics.)
Sorry for the stupid question but what's the value add over going straight to protect Gutenberg?
that is a lot of crap. sing up for internet/telephone/television/... over email or online form and then try to cancel it the same way. go ahead, try it. i'll wait here.
The recent news that some minors should be placed under supervision by military people is quite disturbing.

Minor delinquency is a civil problem that should be tackled by police and justice.

At the moment no laws permit that, but probably it will soon be drafted and voted [0].

I don't believe that's accurate in general.

Let's say you open up a new C codebase: What are its dependencies? You'll have to hunt through its README (hopefully it's up to date!), other build instructions, maybe CMake, maybe some custom build system, etc.

What version of dependencies does it use? If the code has been vendored, you at least know what code its using - but where do you look for updates to that code? Do you manually go out to wherever it was copied from now and then and look for updates? If the code isn't vendored, then how was it installed? From the package manager? If so, what operating system and version was used during development? If its not from a package, its might have been downloaded and installed manually? Again, where was it downloaded from? Where was it installed? What options did it use when it was compiled?

How do you handle transitive dependencies? Probably by hand. How well documented are they?

C suffers plenty of dependency issues.

Back around 2000 my startup used hand written business cards. There were only a few of us so my artist wife simply wrote them (not using fancy calligraphy, simply clear printed handwriting) and we printed them up on the usual card stock.

I remember handing one to a VC who was mighty impressed and said, "wow, the software you used is amazing. Each character varies slightly. I'm impressed."

We didn't get an investment from their firm though; impressive as the cards may have been our actual product didn't appeal to them.
IMO there is no real justification, but I've seen people from the Webkit team on Twitter claim privacy related issues.
US consumer laws have been woefully inadequate for decades, and this is another instance where they’re lacking. You can issue an individual chargeback if you happened to use a credit card, but that can have adverse effects on both you and the merchant. If you used an ATM/bank card, your bank may go to bat for you, but there’s no guarantee.

I’m in the same boat re: Apple/Google subscription options. They don’t have a vested interest in keeping you attached to a single subscription, so they’ll keep the cancellation option easy in favor of keeping you in their ecosystem.
Man I love it when the NyTimes covers such brave and useful topics as.... new york financial reporting.
Why is this unfortunate? It's a change to a default setting. You can still turn it back on, I think.

Ideally you're using a multi-layered approach, meaning that much of the ugly stuff should be filtered out upstream of your browser extensions anyway.
Common mistakes to avoid that will make your Startup a success
Wanted to share some valuable advice I've picked up from working with 6 startups and reading various books. Hopefully this is able to help some people.
The article suggests the cause is evolution/genes, not environmental conditions such as infection:

"The observed increase
therefore in the prevalence of persistent median arteries in adult
forearms of people in many countries may be a trend associated
with the evolutionary process."

If I'm reading the paper correctly, they're not suggesting that this is because the artery provides some survival or reproductive advantage. They're just saying the trend is likely to continue.
Really? I thought it was universally free.

I think for part time to be successful it has to be the right environment. Contract work seems perfect - you are focused and have a singular mission. I can also totally see working on a personal project 20 hours a week and being super productive.

However, working part time for a large organization seems tricky. There are so many meetings, distractions, and responsibilities other than just coding that it seems like your actual focus time to do work would be pretty nonexistent in a part time scenario.
Essentially deepfaking yourself. There's no way to know that the nuances of the emotions passed will be reliably passed, as everything but face lines is hallucinated. And then, it's so life like that you have no paystubs deniability
Add critical thinking and logic lessons to school curriculum. Issue would be solved in about a generation but governments and large companies would hate that.

> Plus my wife and I pay an extra 0.9% of our paychecks for all combined wages above $250,000.

Calculate how much taxes you'd pay in e.g. Germany or Belgium, and put half of that towards health expenditures. I think you'll still come out ahead by a large margin.
At what resolution? And also, does the output actually resembles the original image? Examples with background other than uniform? Would be nice if they provided more than just screenshots

It's not uncommon to see video calls at 100kbs-150kbps, which is ~10KB/s, and this is for 7fps or so, including audio. So "per frame" that would be 1KB or so (more for key frames, less for I frames).

So they say it can be 0.1KB, so better than that... Exciting, if realistic.

Also, add on top audio, and packet overhead :-) there is at least 0.1KB overhead for sending the packet (bundle it with audio if possible!)
I was recently scrolling around Google Maps in rural Alaska and was amazed at the number of rural "towns" scattered around the state. These towns are almost entirely populated by Native Alaskans and typically consist of a small gravel landing trip, a post office, a church, a general store, and a small grid of barracks-esque housing. No roads in or out.

These towns typically have populations between 150 and 600 from the ones I've opened up the corresponding wiki article, with median incomes between 10K and 30K.

I've wondered if the coming of Starlink and its competitors could be a boon for these rural communities. If a few precocious youth in these communities could get involved in some remote coding bootcamps and learn web or app dev, they could provide a compelling alternative to outsourcing to India.

The time zone is only 1 hour off of mainland west coast, so syncing up with HQ is easier. The legal system is just the US system, so HR is easier. No language barrier.
Not, the removal and the addition don't offset each other - in the sense that someone _else_ emitting some CO2 and you planting a tree don't offset each other. The contribution to CO2 sums up to zero (or not exactly zero but nevermind) - but the _actions_ don't offset each other.
I don't understand why CentOS, and Stenberg above, spend any energy engaging with these people.
But the alternative doesn’t stop at misinformation. This propaganda is helping elect people like Trump who has expressed a desire to silence his critics through whatever means he has. I’d rather be censored by Facebook than the government.
On your second point, the article seems to get some of the specifics wrong. There are links to both a video and the original paper that go into more (and better) detail. The detergent widget is actually a flow sensor to measure usage.

Of the two relevant episodes in my other comment ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24726335 ), the TOS one explicitly states that that seeding doesn't apply to Earth because of the fossil record and when it occurred (but could explain some of Vulcan's history), while the other one was so early on that Earth was still in the primordial-soup stage.
CO2 capture from air exists, with current materials:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_air_capture#Methods_of_...

The startup Carbon Engineering claims that direct air capture of CO2, solar power, and hydrolysis, they can will be able to make cost-competitive, carbon-neutral liquid fuels by the mid 2020s using existing technologies:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYopOt9siLg

To do green methane, they just need to stop before the gas to liquids step.

There are also some seemingly wacky ideas for cryogenic energy storage as well: make liquid air or liquid nitrogen, store the excess heat over time, then power a turbine when converting the liquid to gas again:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryogenic_energy_storage

These cryogenic methods require extracting CO2 using the same sorts of filters and though I imagine the amounts of CO2 might be small, it seems that transfer of low level waste heat could make for an effective combination of systems? (Pure speculation there from me.)
