Yes it is and that doesn't make his current fraudulent shenanigans any better. It makes them more disheartening, however.

I'm not an expert in the replication crisis but I have to say that as a conceptual framework, it has the problem of pointing a finger at all research - saying "Most Published Research" etc, when the replication crisis is quite concentrated in experimental psychology, complex biomedical causation research and fields with pretty specific difficulties (humans taking simple psychology tests seem to be easily influenced by outside factors, the biochemistry of mammals seems to incredible variations in it's operations). The germ theory of disease doesn't by itself fall into this paradigm (even if humans are complex, the transmission mechanism of a germ is simple). And there's the problem, it's as if Ioannidis decided, "nothing is true, I'll claim what I want".

That’s not really how credit reports work. At least in the U.S. a loan typically doesn’t report until the first statement period usually 30-60 days after loan issuance. Most likely it would just show as a paid loan after you returned the car.

> If you want to play just use the native platform the game was built for, Linux will never be like Windows until the games are natively supported.

sure, i guess the same can be said about WSL on Windows 10 but that does not mean people don't find it useful.
The whole point is that Proton is a very welcome addition to Linux due to the lack of native games.
Well, the 2017 flu was a little over 60,000, but it was close to 60k, so we could say that, but the 1968 and 1957 flus were worse than that. Covid-19 isn't to 300,000 (5x 60k) yet, but I suppose it could get there. However, the idea of organs damaged, resulting in future fatalities, is not just "unclear". We could speculate the same about almost any virus, or for that matter any vaccine. Until time has passed, we won't know, but at this point neither northern Italy nor any other region that had early waves of Covid-19 have reported any such problem in even 1% of cases (not even 0.01% of cases, that I'm aware of).

If a vaccine is tested on 10,000 people, and appears safe, we call it good enough, without waiting for several years to check on the possibility of long-term affects. It's not like vaccines have never had problems, but at some point you need to go by what you actually know and have seen, and the same logic applies to viruses (or any other risk). We haven't in fact seen anything that suggests a widespread problem in people who recover from covid-19, and given past results with SARS, MERS, and the four other coronaviruses which cause "colds", we don't have much reason to expect it. Could it happen in some significant percentage? Sure. The same is true of any virus, or for that matter any vaccine. But we don't gain anything from speculating on that.
In Jami, for video-conferences all clients are not directly connected to each others. This can't work, you can't ask everybody to stream and receives each video streams. Also, you can't ask each client to mix the streams together for the client.

You can see the video conferences in Jami more like a mesh between all participants of the call. Some nodes will mix the streams together (for now it's the device which receives the calls to merge together, they will need both good CPU & bandwith for sure) and the other nodes will only receives the mixed stream (and sends their stream)

So, for the host you can count 1Mbps/participant (to get a good h264 video stream) and the receiver the CPU & bandwith will be the same for a conference with 15 participants or 2.

We got a lot of conference with 15 people hosted by a x220 (and a lot with a P51, but it's a bit more powerful).

> "it’s great to be a cog in a 9-to-5 machine: you get to go home in time for dinner every day and you probably have mental energy to spare when you do."

And then the cog's skills fall behind that of their peers, they slow down because of aging and other factors, and all of a sudden their resume is not attractive enough to overcome any ageism that exists in our industry, particularly if another dotcom bust happens or other economic crash happens. Game over.

Your career may not be your life but your career is definitely your meal ticket. And nobody should assume that the easy money for developers that exists today is going to be stay that way for the entire 40+ years of their working career.
Agree. That’s a must. You have to cover your ass when it comes to this type of work. It’s high stakes enough that I save off copies of emails (.msg) and create a Sources folder for these, spreadsheets, and I’ll even do a screen capture if I have to login to some system and pull the data myself. I am usually given the parameters on what to pull, and it’s very easy for someone to accuse me of pulling the data wrong a month or more after the fact. I did this on every analysis. I can relate to what your saying. Two months later something like this always happens;

What was you assumption of growth?

Infinity.

What?! That’s ridiculous why would you assume that?

forward back an email you sent to me when I pointed out the growth rate seemed high but you insisted it was a slam dunk (aka the only way the deal would go through and we’d get that bonus)

At times I feel like I put so many footnotes in the resulting presentation later the information should be interpreted as meaningless.
It's not too bad. I support over 30,000+ people and handling email and forum support is one of the least time consuming parts of my business.
The 400 nit panel has ridiculous amounts of ghosting (to the point where you can see it just by moving the mouse pointer), and the 500 nit panel is a “privacy” option which means worse than TN viewing angles. Unfortunately Lenovo is currently limiting the good screen to Intel for whatever reason.
>Yes, that means a lot of bad ideas are going to be out there, which is a price I firmly believe we should be willing to pay.

This is an easy out, as it assumes bad ideas are just "out there" like a noble gas, not interacting with anything around them. But speech doesn't exist in a vacuum, it always has consequences, and very often exists explicitly to enact change or call to action.

Do you believe the effect of the spread and adoption of bad ideas is a price we should always be willing to pay?

For instance, a political party spreading lies and conspiracy theories about a religious and ethnic minority, or widespread disbelief in the legitimacy of modern science and medicine, or historical revisionism and the denial of genocides and atrocities?

It's easy enough to argue free speech as an absolute if your model is people giving speeches at Speaker's Corner or arguments over philosophical and political abstractions at a coffeeshop, but it seems less cut and dry, pun intended, when the machetes come out.

And regarding your point about regulations being abused, yes, all regulations and laws can be abused. But abuse is a known problem and remedies exist for it - such as the lawsuit being filed by the ACLU in the link you posted.
Is it still impossible to find non-garbage non-$200+ replacement batteries? I had to give up on my X61 because it was no longer a mobile device.
It goes far beyond masks. No hugging. No shaking hands. No singing. No bars. Masks and plexiglass for kids who are lucky enough to actually get school. Not having funerals for the dead. We can put up with these things in the short term to protect the vulnerable, and you’re right that people’s concern for others speaks well of them.

But the logic some people use to support these things veers into territory where it sounds like they would be willing to make (or demand) any sacrifice for literally any increase in safety. I worry about how that will play out long term.

But that’s just my fear. Hopefully it’s overblown (and it probably is).
Laser-induced unscheduled disassembly would be how the mosquitoes describe it.

> On the other it is not a convincing argument about how you shouldn’t be too worried about the US military

Another argument is that the US military is likely to be split in case of direct intervention on US national soil, including in support of the National Guard or local PD. Same goes for the National Guard or local PD - ACANB [All Cops Are Not Bastards]. Not to mention the +350 millions firearms (and associated ammunitions & gears) owned by Americans.

Thanks for the feedback. I haven't heard that before, but maybe that's because folks were hesitant to say "your baby is ugly"? I'll think about this.
> It's quite common to see a significant performance gain and reduction in stuttering from the cracked version compared to the original version.

It's quite common when a developer updates a game to remove Denuvo, or when an official Denuvo-free executable is accidentally leaked (as appears to be surprisingly typical), but I don't think it's that common for cracks.

Cracks generally do the absolute minimum to get a game to run, which often means leaving neutered but still performance-intensive DRM in place. Once a game works, I've never seen anyone take a second pass to improve performance. (Games that actually crash are of course a different matter.)

IMO, this is again an indicator of the scene's priorities.
Thanks for sharing that tactic.
Also if there are large generated files (the SQL parser is generated from a grammar) or if one project is vendoring dependencies it can artificially skew the line count.

It's not a meaningful measure in itself without digging deeper.
Seconded. I'm working with an IR laser rangefinder for work that can blind people out to several km with the right optics in front.
I like the Pocket recommendations, and the various campaigns aren't that annoying so long as they remain focused on tech freedom, not other causes.

I generally agree with the choice of killing off XUL, since WebExtensions has clearly won and they needed to move to it, and help participate in its development so they can steer it towards user freedom.

I think the Multi-Account Containers idea is fantastic, and the Facebook Container in particular was nice. That is a recent development, but I feel like it is an essential privacy feature now.

But Mozilla is failing, that much is true. And they just killed off their most promising blue sky initiatives like Servo, so I no longer see a future for them at the moment. If they moved to foster a type of open cloud ecosystem, along the lines of OwnCloud, that would be an interesting direction, but I don't see that happening either since I don't see much vision at the top... even though it would dovetail with Firefox Sync, Lockwise, VPN, and other Mozilla initiatives.

I am passively looking for other browsers now, however, since I have lost faith in Mozilla.
It’s not totally clear to me either, but maybe it’s a 32-bit value treated as a 34-bit value with a precision of 4 seconds (so left-shifted two bits elsewhere), since the whole term has the least significant two bits cleared with ‘& ~3’. No idea what the (2^31-1) term is doing though.
It's not just the "right to free speech" anymore. It's now also the "right to have your speech broadcasted to a selection of people in a way that depends on what they might think is relevant to them." So complicated stuff.

Right. The other thing is that (as far as I know) there are no species in which sars-cov-2 is endemic. It may be that (besides humans) there had only ever been one other carrier of this particular virus. There are probably close relatives of sars-cov-2 that are common in bat species, but not necessarily the exact same strain.
Depends on whether you think people would work nights and weekends to get an idea out the door if someone with more money can immediately copy and profit.

History says no, but maybe there is a different system.
Right, but NZ has had a pretty light lockdown compared to other countries. To use the language of other posts, if the "reservoirs" of influenza were uniformly distributed, we'd expect NZ to have more flu than the United States or Europe where (time-integrated) lockdowns have been stricter.

Look at the pre-election videos covering campaigning in New Zealand -- crowds of maskless people, politicians hugging supporters etc. Stadiums full of rugby supporters. Not a COVID transmission risk, but wrt the flu it's obviously no different from a regular season -- except for the borders.

In San Francisco people are distancing a lot more. It's understandable why we have more COVID cases, but when winter rolls around it'll be very interesting to see if the same difference in flu cases is seen. A non-uniform distribution of reservoirs might be something we can conclude with borders closed.

These are gross generalizations.

> It takes a couple decades of education before a person can even begin to enter the workforce.

This obviously depends on profession. On the contrary, you no longer need to go to college or trade school since everything is online. Seriously, it's amazing how proficient some of these children can get just from YouTube videos.

> Raising kids was once an investment, now people can barely afford to raise 1 or 2.

Hey at least you have a choice now. Before, raising lots of children was almost a necessity in order to help around the farm. Now things are so efficient that you really don't need to raise children at all.

> Our inefficient stuff is made by people in foreign countries working in factories whose lives really aren't any better than middle ages Europe.

Can you provide evidence on this?

> People like farming and hard physical labour

Most people would probably disagree with you on this. There is a big difference between occasional hard labor and doing hard labor every single day. It takes an enormous toll on the body.

> When people don't have to do any hard labour as part of their job, they go to a gym and pay money for the privelege of moving heavy things around even though it serves no practical purpose.

Isn't the purpose to be healthy or look better?
I’ve been working for the last while on a weird project idea, of a text adventure that you play by navigating folders in your file browser. I wanted to see how far I could push the concept without having any runtime code for tracking state. In the end, I managed to have two decent levels with a bunch of rooms, a door with a key, a basic inventory, and even a "combat encounter". State is stored by just having an absolutely massive number of folders created, one for every permutation of variables (final count is 41,514 folders). I’d really like to hear some feedback, and if people are interested in a weird thing like this.

> Looking back at the rise of fascism and the Holocaust in her 1951 book...

She learned the wrong lessons from her study of the rise of fascism. The correct lesson is 'if you botch the economy badly enough, voters will explore every option to try and get some relief'. Including voting in Nazis. The Nazis (with a parallel to Trump) are a sign of some large group feeling profound economic distress and being rather unhappy with politics as usual.

And there is a basic premise in the middle of that article that you quote: that the author is morally pure enough to determine what is good and bad in the marketplace of ideas. That possibility was tested extensively in the 20th century. There isn't anyone who can do that. They tried lots of people, none of them worked out. If we create a method for anointing some truths reliable and some 'twisted' then it is going to become controlled by corrupt people and then do more harm than good. Free speech is by far the most reliable way of identifying bad ideas as bad.

I've been toying with a project where you define your entire blog in one file (blog.json) and then you can pass that file to a generator (community built) and it will output html for you to deploy.

I wrote about it here -> https://ajaxdavis.com/post/Introducing-JSON-Blog/

I'm using the project to run my blog above.
I think you may be misunderstanding what I am saying. We had:

1. a hard initial lockdown lasting a few weeks, while the virus was exploding throughout Europe. masks everywhere. basically everything closed. borders closed.

2. a subsequent easing of many rules - masks almost everywhere; public transport, shops, offices, and restaurants/bars. international travel possible with quarantine from selected countries.

3. an almost total relaxation of all of the rules

I think the "Czech strategy" you're referring to is #1. I am saying that #2 was an acceptable compromise that caused some grumbles but kept a lid on things while permitting a relatively normal life for most people. #3 is IMO completely responsible for the current state of affairs. If 18 months is a realistic estimate for a vaccine then I genuinely think we could have managed with strategy #2 for that period. If a vaccine is not forthcoming then ... fine we would have given it a shot and without completely tanking our economy by becoming a little hermit republic, and without overwhelming our healthcare system in the meantime.

I mean you can't have your cake and eat it, I know that. But I really believe the balance we struck was sustainable.

edit: btw I hope this doesn't seem like I'm angry at you or anyone here in this thread. This is just a discussion and an interesting one. My tone is just probably influenced by my current cranky mood which is caused by other things unrelated to HN, and re-reading my words I can't tell how it's coming across :-)
Lots of people can do useful work without being sole breadwinners, and can use money even in small amounts.

Homemakers doing part time work, kids or young people making money (and getting experience) after school, retirees, disabled people on benefits (who may be able to work in limited capacity), travelers/itinerants, or people taking extra quick work on the side like you said.
How does this compare to an algo setup?
MySQL has a storage abstraction and includes multiple storages.
Technical colleges that are publicly funded. Their market targets students wanting to save money before transferring to a universty and adults looking to go back to school. They are cognizant of adults who work full time and have children so they know devoting full time schedule of courses (or even half time) by forcing them to come to a class every week as opposed to just making online courses that say "Get these things done by these defined deadlines" is unrealistic. Hence why the do basically all courses online save for the ones that legitimately can't (like truck driving, welding, trades, dental, nursing, etc).

Thank you for an interesting comment - seems to imply that Intel have markedly improved the Itanium compiler since they discontinued Itanium which is interesting!

I guess any new architecture needs to be substantially better than existing out of order, superscalar implementations to justify any change and we are still seeing more transistors being thrown at existing architectures each year and generating some performance gains.

I wonder if / when this stops then we will see a revisiting of the VLIW approach.
Anecdotal: they are also relatively straightforward to Hackintosh and are pretty stable. If anyone is looking for a MacBook Pro replacement (with MacOS), this might be your best bet. Lenovos are also good.
“We need more performance, should we fix the underlying performance problem in our software? No, we should design our CPU’s to accommodate our slow, bottlenecked language!”

Asking for CPU features to speed up Python is like trying to strap a rocket to horse and cart. Not the best way to go faster. We should focus on language design and tooling that makes it easier to write in “fast” languages, rather than bending over backwards to accommodate things like Python, which have so much more low-hanging fruit in terms of performance.
Do your analysis per-capita, please; as a former gigging musician, I assure you that it doesn't matter how much money is being given to the Big Four by streaming services, it only matters how many gigging hours there are per week. And the number of gigging hours per week is limited, and the amount of music produced per gigging hour has not changed in centuries.

This is a bad, ignorant example. Not just wrong, but flagrantly, wildly, outrageously misinformed.
OK, I give up on my idea, hopefully some linguists would popup in here and link some articles that would explore the topic. I think it would be interesting to plug some rules into an algorithm and have it search for the optimal language. We would not force it as a main language but a secondary one, like when you make a movie or book you provide a translation in this language too on top of the other popular languages you support. Since is a simple and perfectly defined language from it you could auto-generate translation to less popular languages.
