The first 2 months of lockdown, I was crazy productive, working till midnight every night. Then little by little I'm slowly finding it harder and harder to concentrate. My productivity has fallen enough that my manager has called it out. So, at this point the commute and my eating habits have been the only thing that has significantly improved from this WFH lifestyle.
Forbidding it
A page comparing yourself to other similar apps (Slack, Discord) would be nice. The front page just gives me the impression that this is yet another fragmented chat app that people will be hesitant to download.

Your "member guide" (https://www.notion.so/Openland-Member-Guide-a249051153614aef...) only contains bullet points and your "why another social network" (https://www.notion.so/Why-The-World-Needs-a-New-Social-Netwo...) is extremely vague.
The meat of the actual conversation:

> [Airliner] We just saw a bright object at about 6000 ft

> [ATC] Can you say that one more time?

> [Airliner] We just saw a flying object - like a flying object passing by at 6000'

> [ATC] Flying object, was it a UAV or was it a jetpack?

> [Airliner] Like a jetpack. Too shiny and too far.

"PERSON IN JETPACK SEEN OVER LAX!" seems to overinterpret that exchange.
The whole ATC system is based on the underlying idea that stuff isn’t supposed to be in certain places at a certain time. For example the system can operate without radar in zero visibility conditions because it can use a “one in one out” philosophy where a certain 3D block of the Sky only has one flying object in it. Random drones, jet packs or whatever turning up unannounced in busy airspace totally destroys that system (irrespective of other issues) hence why when something like this happens you see the FBI rocking up and treating this like they are.
In my experience with HashiCorp products, things don't work like the page says (Vault) while other's are sometimes half-finished (Terraform will let you create, but not destroy resources). Edit: To clarify, I ran into some cases where the creation code for a resource existed, but not the destroy code.

I might wait on this and read the Github issues for a few months before trying it
That's a very fun game to play with friends. Many happy memories. :)
This is neat could have used this heavily during my college radio days. Brilliant use of new web technologies.
> RedisLabs IIRC also only offers encryption as an enterprise feature, which is something that has always left a bad taste in my mouth.

Yeah I didn't like this either, given how other "sexy" features that inherently mean you're not using a single instance listening on loopback were prioritised over TLS support. AFAIK their solution was essentially to run a TLS proxy in front of redis, and I'm not sure what they did if anything about any replicated traffic.

However, as of v6 (released recently) TLS is builtin.

As I explained in the discussion thread for the 6.0 announcement, putting a proxy in front of Redis, for clients that support TLS is like 10% of the problem, when you're using more than one instance. You end up creating a rats nest of tunnels and local port numbers, so that redis internal replication traffic, and internal sentinel traffic, and sentinel to redis traffic is all encrypted too.
Flatland Challenge: Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning on Trains
Awesome, great to hear!
I think it's naive to say that laissez faire speech is going to solve all issues

The arguments for free speech are fundamentally the same arguments for democracy itself.

If people can't decide the value of information, why again are we trusting in the decision-making value of each and every voter?

If we filter speech, maybe we should just cut to the chase and filter out voters by testing of some sort?
I suggest Linux Mint. Stable Ubuntu derivative with a sane, "just-works" desktop environment (Cinnamon).
We are running a NeurIPS challenge where the goal is to schedule trains using RL.

It tackles a real-world problem: railway networks are growing fast, but the classical decision-making methods used today don’t scale well. This is becoming problematic! Can RL save the day?

Our goal is to foster research in RL around this problem, and to establish a benchmark showing the progress of RL against other (currently better!) methods.

We are hoping for an “AlphaGo moment”, where reinforcement learning will take over. Planning train schedules actually has many similarities with the game of Go!

We provide strong baselines and "getting started" guides to help you hit the ground running, even if you're just starting with RL. For example you can run this Colab notebook to train a DQN policy that you can then submit straight to the leaderboard: https://flatland.aicrowd.com/getting-started/rl.html
Everyone probably shouldn't bother to churn their own butter but everyone should be able to cook and plan a meal. Everyone probably isn't going to learn to code but they ought to be able to reinstall or install an OS on their computer, replaced a hard drive, and perform basic troubleshooting steps.
Apple can’t dictate what goes in your changelog.

What we are talking about here is the App Store release notes, on Apple’s site and storefront. They can indeed dictate what goes there. The fact that release notes are even displayed there is because they made a facility for that.

You can publish your changelog on your own website.
Lets not pretend that your parents will be able to fix any obscure Windows issues either.

I put my dad on Ubuntu about 10 years ago and never looked back. I do 100x less support than I had to do when he was on Windows. Windows was a malware shit show back then, but I have no interest in trying to switch him back to Windows again.
Hopefully someone at Hashicorp can double check my read: I feel this could be compared to Skaffold or Tilt, but with a heavier emphasis on a plugin architecture. Is that right?
No, regular x86 Windows 10. 32 bit version minimum requirement is exactly 1GB of ram and all functionality is there. It only uses about 700MB when running, leaving enough memory to use it like a normal computer.
> making freedom of speech a civil right

Free speech is already a civil right. You are not talking about free speech. So employees would not be allowed to quit working for an employer because that employer used their free speech to support a position they were morally opposed to? Anti-discrimination laws almost exclusively protect who you are i.e. race, gender, nationality, religion, physical ability. Free speech is about the viewpoints you choose to express and the actions you choose to take. You have the freedom to speak and act how you choose, but I also have the freedom hear you and choose how I interact with you or choose not to at all. You can’t legislate that person A is free to speak but person B is not free to react to that speech, as you are restricting the basic freedom of person B. Of course, when B uses their speech and A is not free to react, you are now restricting everyone’s freedom and everyone loses their freedom. As opposed to not legislating the speech or the reactions to that speech and individuals have the freedom to make their own choices and live with the consequences of those choices.
I’m constantly blown away at how high quality SpaCy is with such a small team. Everything: from API design, to documentation, to education, to tool ecosystem.

Congrats on the (preview) release and thank you for the great software. Exciting to see SpaCy pull transformers into the mix!

Let's see Twitter's list of trusted newspapers. No way such a thing exists.
I think I agree with everything on that page, but this seems to be incomplete:

> It shouldn't be a mission impossible to find out how and why a decision about you was made.

That does sound attractive. But I don't see how it squares with technology. For certain technologies, the answer will be "the weights in the neural network, when applied to your attributes, yielded a score that fell above a cutoff" or "Your data attributes mapped to a certain location on an eigenvector and it fell above a cutoff defined on that eigenvector".

Is the answer to stop using such algorithms? If not, doesn't this webpage need to give us more of a hint as to how we are to overcome the apparent impasse?
I have the 41CV app on my iphone and it's wonderful.

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

Those hydrogen peroxide jetpacks have a flight time of 30 seconds so I doubt that's what this jetpack was since it was seen at 6000ft.
> there's a stupid amount of free capital floating around due to effectively-zero interest rates, and not many places with decent returns to invest it

That's probably the reason, but it would be great if all this liquidity were going to companies that are actually building innovative tech. I mean, we're 20% into the 21st century already, where's my asteroid mining ETF?
oh look, an unnecessarily complex and inefficient way to store data :(
Quote1: "For example, just compare the file manager application on both Ubuntu and Windows."

Both defaults are crap. I use Total Commander / Double Commander on Win/Lin.

Quote2: "Linux still has a few (~2%) market share in the general-purpose users' segment compared to Windows. Therefore, there are not so many malicious programs that target Linux users"

Ah yeah, the famous security through obscurity. I think I prefer a battle hardened OS instead of one kept in an ivory tower. But that's not actually true. As a freelancer I use them all, and I know Linux is actually more battle hardened due to majority of cloud infrastructure running it. Which means Linux nowadays is way more under attack than Windows. Except the article's author is looking with horse blinders at the situation.

Conclusion - crappy article, not worth of a place atop of HN.
Roblox announces IPO at a potential $8B valuation
Given the prevalence of Kubernetes, I am not sure more abstractions are needed. Kubernetes if anything is too complete in how it manages it's deployments, and all this does is add another level of abstraction on top of that, while encouraging people not to think about the operational part of the loop. For example, no health or readiness checks are defined as part of the deployment examples in this link. If you are still running multi-deployment with Ansible/ Puppet / Cloud formation, etc I see value, but i think most are probably better off focusing on going K8s.
Embedded systems generally do not allow you to flash custom firmware to them these days, especially for printers as there is money at stake (you could write firmware to support non-vendors Ink/Toner cartridges), or to enable disabled features.

In addition printers contain custom specific IP blocks related to everything from ethernet to scan and print functionality. It is just not feasible for someone to be able to write custom firmware for a printer without access to the hardware documentation for these devices. More sophisticated printers even have multiple CPUs for doing various tasks.
Depends how you build your teams.

I'm working with people across the globe, no doubt a circumstance of a thousand small decisions. Scheduling some meetings is 100% impossible, and often times it involves taking meetings early (7-8AM) or late (7-9PM) in order to make things work.

Even if you carve out time during the day to compensate for those, it's not what I would describe as "practical."
Yes, you can make your own earrings and wear with this module! (Though our earrings have a feature on the reverse side that make them a slightly better option.)
Yes! We're similar to Hasura at first glance given the similarities with which we approach content modeling.

The vision is to reduce the complexity (and terminology) down to a point where one would need no prior knowledge of engineering to actually apply their business logic. We’ve been slowly pivoting towards citizen first development and the goal is to get there sooner or later!

Hasura on the other hand, I feel offers a superior developer experience but that comes at the cost of alienating non-technical/citizen developers. Backend knowledge still plays a pivotal role in how well you can use Hasura.

You're right, this technique would not work if Amazon had used cert pinning. I haven't yet tried to bypass a cert pinning app, but it seems that frameworks like Frida could help : https://medium.com/@ved_wayal/hail-frida-the-universal-ssl-p....
Yeah, of course - it works fine in Edge as long as you keep to 1-2 tabs max. Running in idle uses about 700MB ram so 300MB is enough to work with. The other things I do with this are running the Netflix app to watch movies and run the Windows 10 Minecraft client - both run smoothly.

To be clear, there are limits for direct political donations. What was decided, correctly, in the Citizens United vs. FEC case was the right for political activism from non-campaign affiliated entities (like corporates, nonprofits, labor unions, etc.). The context for that decision was FEC's attempt to censor a film from a conservative group made in response to FEC's refusal of classify Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 as political 'expenditure' (a film which had a clearly stated goal of getting Bush out of office). The FEC set a bullshit 'bona fide commercial film maker' as a standard for their decision, and when Citizen's United restablished itself as a film maker, their next film (an anti-Hillary documentary) was also found to be in violation. In no universe was FEC's policy fair and objective. From wikipedia, here's a crazy argument the government tried to make:

"During the original oral argument, Deputy Solicitor General Malcolm L. Stewart (representing the FEC) argued that under Austin v. Michigan Chamber of Commerce, the government would have the power to ban books if those books contained even one sentence expressly advocating the election or defeat of a candidate and were published or distributed by a corporation or labor union. In response to this line of questioning, Stewart further argued that under Austin the government could ban the digital distribution of political books over the Amazon Kindle or prevent a union from hiring an author to write a political book."

Isn't that an insane conjecture? This exchange by itself probably lost the FEC the case.

>Imagine a world where there was no money in politics.

Such a world never existed, does not exist, and will never exist. Politics are a center of power. You can ban money all you want, but all you'll accomplish is create a 'black market'. I posit that you do not want to live in such a world.
Developers who use sparkle are generally a lot more experienced than many people who put apps in the App Store.

That is by design. The App Store lowers the bar to entry and enables people who otherwise wouldn’t publish software to do so.
I've been using Ubuntu 20.04 since it's release now (a few months?) and my biggest gripe has been bluetooth connectivity and fixing updating issues (gpg keys, no releases, etc.)

The problem that I see with this review is he keeps jumping distros (and sticking to ubuntu based distros). Instead of sticking to one and documenting his issues/fixes. It seems like he would be better served by having more spartan install and customizing it from there.
For a good example of what ARC enables, I just did a [Show HN](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24790239) for a project I've been doing for programming ESP32's in Nim.

You can use Nim on embedded devices without GC, but it eliminates many parts of the standard library, like JSON handling. The regular Nim GC's also have problems with threading, which shows itself on the ESP32's dual cores and multi-tasking.

Apple makes excellent hardware and polished OS. However, if you care about your freedoms, you need to take a bullet and chose to replace it with a less restrictive operating system, perhaps sacrificing some convenience along the way. I personally decided that it is not OS vendor business to decide for me what programs to install and what information they are allowed to show me.
I shook hands with Clinton in 1990. Did not know at that moment who he was, but knew he was important. Not physically the guy other guys would think had movie star looks or charisma (say, like JFK), but very confident and looked you straight in the eye.

Everyone at that event can tell you what conversation they had with him and every conversation was on a different topic. He was curious, approachable, a sponge of knowledge and never forgot a face and name (particularly if you were attractive).

So you can get along with decent looks, a bit of charisma, but a lot farther if you know how to be engaging in conversations and make people feel special/important.

The polls are way off because they oversample democrats, which can be seen when you start looking at results by counties.

Some rural counties that are know to be republican strong holds by a huge margin are favouring Biden by ridiculous amounts. Its not going to happen. Its obviously an error, and the accumulation of these errors are the final polls.
(Source https://www.pscp.tv/w/1YqKDpqkYBOKV)

Its true that the democrats are winning the early mail in voting.
But since republicans don't trust mail in voting, as Trump told them to vote in person. They will come out on election night, by a large margin.

Making something easy to cite/link in this way produces an effect kind of like it being seen as authoritative, maybe?
doesn't optimise for good, it optimises for good-enough

It's about pride. Not everyone has pride in their work, in their person, or in their actions.

I once worked with one of these "good enough" people. He bought his wife the cheapest things because they were "good enough." All he was focused on was the ticket price. Not the quality. Not the workmanship. Not going with a good company instead of a bad company.

It's become more common these days in everything from consumer goods to personal behavior. There was an article in the newspaper yesterday saying that sales of Folger's Crystals is up 14%. It's "good enough" coffee. There's a congressman up for re-election right now who admits to having an affair with an intern. His campaign doesn't hide this fact that would have made him un-electable ten years ago. His behavior is "good enough."

It's like all the Facebook and Google employees who are working on things that make the world a worse place. They're making money, so that's "good enough" for them. Someone else can be moral.

Not bad: INTJ 0.197490
INTP 0.138727
INFJ 0.127998
INFP 0.125142
ENTP 0.091211

I consistently score INTP. Another account which I have about 8 years of sometimes voluminous comment history with for non-technical topics produces the same results in the same order. Hmm, maybe I'm turning into an INTJ with age... Kind of makes sense.

Like others, I'm wondering what the "controversiality" value indicates.

I'm pleasantly surprised and slightly uneasy.
Never. Latin is still spoken daily by over half a billion people. Spanish and Italian are less distinct from "Latin" than English is from its Anglo-Saxon roots. Either one could be named "Latin" if we so chose; it's only the accidents of history that we didn't happen to.

There is a direct line from the Latin spoken in Imperial Rome to the language spoken in Rome today. They never stopped speaking it. It just suffered the same drift that makes it hard for you to understand natively spoken Shakespeare without training.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYiYd9RcK5M

Italian could easily claim to be Latin if it wanted to. So could Spanish; it was a Roman colony and in many ways more closely resembles Roman Latin than modern Italian does.

That said, this suggestion and it’s method of avoiding direct interaction, but instead using rendered content in browser is another reminder of how powerful browser extensions are.

They can also make additional requests using the user’s ip address.

Reason being that you are reading content you are manipulating or displaying in a browser “after” amazon does their own highlighting.

Then it wouldn't be scholarly.

Christian Egyptians were for the most part identical to pre-Christian Egyptians. And the foreign dynasties (Nubian and Greek) are pretty well identified.

Using post-colonial racial stereotypes to interpret Egyptian history is lunacy.

Probably should add something in about drones must not have an onboard human pilot, or most modern airliners would count as drones. Their autopilots are almost all capable of waypoint to waypoint travel without human control (and often much more).
The indoor maps feature was released a year ago, and is by now in active use at many transit stations (like New York metro, London Underground), airports (like LAX), shopping malls (like Westfield in San Francisco)... you can see a list of dozens of airports already mapped here, actually: https://www.apple.com/ios/feature-availability/#maps-indoor-...
