Here in CA the disclosure packets that I've seen all included the FEMA map and you had to initial it. The risk of failing to disclose something is way too high. I've even seen a lot of things like "while we think there's no asbestos there could always be in a house that old", which obviously then makes the whole thing useless.
The process to manufacture a magnet and insert it into the product is more complicated than adding extensions to the plastic mold to form clasps.
IMO one of the core innovations that Discord brought was the way voice works. There's no "calling" or any sort of "person A would like to talk to person B, person C may or may not be welcome" sort of thing. People just click on a voice channel and they're in.

Other services have tried the same thing I guess (Hangouts did something kind of similar), but everything adds up to a completely different feeling around voice chat. It feels more like walking into a room with people hanging out than it does dialing someone's number and all the low-level anxiety that goes along with it.
Probably more accurate to put "architecturally similar".
So I start reading [2], scroll to 2016 only to find a tremendous list of unconvincing mini-facts?

How does this end up on Wikipedia?
I dunno. I mean, I do, it feels good. But it also is a very different kind of FIDO2 than what we've seen before. In a way that FIDO was designed for, that we hoped would happen. But it's still not entirely joy & mirth that we're here for me.

It feels like a little like the first day we start to understand how "Big Tent" (in the OpenStack sense) FIDO2 ecosystem is. You can do whatever, make anything, and call it FIDO2; it's all duck typing: looks like a duck, quacks must be a duck. No implementation details are required, no transparency is needed, everything can be totally vendored way way up, and the standard will welcome you. Your platform is welcome here. This post is about how to use & prefer that platform, over the more common means available.

For sure this is overwhelmingly a good thing. It's by design that we allow platform authenticators in WebAuthn. Apple is allowing their closed, proprietary security technologies to seamlessly work on the web without making webdevs jump through hoops. It's a good thing, and this will really help Web Authentication for sure.

Still I have some wistfulness. It's a good user experience, it's great. It's a win for devs, it's a win for users. Still there's some larger context I can't quite put my finger on, when I see "authenticatorSelection: { authenticatorAttachment: "platform" }". The web is letting more of the native platform shine through, and that's good, but it also forgoes some of the knowability & commonality that resounds on so much of the rest of the web, and while the immediate impact is extremely good, I still think there's some kind of hard to describe ultra-slow-motion civilization-scale loss that's also passenger to this successful commingling of web and platform.
I have been dreaming about this :)
Minor comment: Would it be possible for you to show the timezone next to the schedules - I assume that you show in my browser configured TZ (or pro gm's are serious night owls - I'm in CEST atm), but its pretty shitty to be an hour late/early due to assumptions, especially this time of year when DST ends (and not necessarily on the same date)
Discord wins in a lot of ways. A few that jump out to me as important are :

* Cross-Platform - You can reliably stay up-to-date on discord from basically every device you own with reliable notifications

* Excellent group voice chat quality and controls - Every user can control the volume for each chat participant(You control your own mix.) This is something Teams doesn't have and god I wish it did...

* It's Slack for friends. Discord basically does everything Slack does (rich-media real time chat with a specific group of contacts.) It's far easier to crank out a new discord for your friends and you don't get slammed with the "Free Organization" restrictions that come with Slack.

There are lots of things it does right, but these were major selling points for me.
In the most extremely sensitive environments:

1. It still helps with defence in depth

2. The threat of detection prevents attackers that need 100% stealth

3. Failures are likely to be detected which is still valuable as you can now mitigate damage

4. Failures are likely to be detected which helps get software faults fixed - which allows the ecology of security to improve over time
I would try to start small and beeing persistent about it. It is a transformation over month not days.

Start doing your tasks better. Enhance testing, make a better documentation, test better, write better code, make the solution more stable.

When you start doing this, you are already on a good path to become better in what you are doing and your responsibilities grow. More responsibility could mean more interesting tasks to do. Could also mean a better standing, a higher salary or the courage to look for a new job.

You can do some with your time at work.

You could start automating things to reduce your workload, this and getting rid of surfing around gives you then the time to improve. Either by working better and growing in what you are doing already or using that time to look left and right.

Try sometimg out, try something new.

Make up your own mind about things. Is this a good solution? Why is this a good solution? Is there a better solution?

Ask for feedback from your peers. Ask your peers for help.

You can also talk to your manager on how to improve. You don't have to do it alone.
We will post switch datasheet later

> It is likely that prop 22 will pass because majority of people care more about ride-sharing than about freelancing. Then the popular Focus will be shifted away from the problem, and freelancing will remain difficult in California in perpetuity.

That would be the worst possible outcome.
My understanding is the whole reason for the existence of AB 5 is for ride share and food delivery.
Might as well repeal AB5 if this proposition passes.

If you are a California voter, please vote NO on this nonsensical proposition!

> What is Assembly Bill 5 (AB 5)?

> AB 5 established a three-factor test to decide a worker's status as an independent contractor. The three-factor test requires that (1) the worker is free from the hiring company's control and direction in the performance of work; (2) the worker is doing work that is outside the company's usual course of business; and (3) the worker is engaged in an established trade, occupation, or business of the same nature as the work performed.

> Who is behind the campaigns surrounding Proposition 22?

> On August 30, 2019, three companies—DoorDash, Lyft, and Uber—each placed $30 million into campaign accounts to fund a ballot initiative campaign should the legislature pass AB 5 without compromising with the companies. "We remain focused on reaching a deal, and are confident about bringing this issue to the voters if necessary," said Lyft spokesperson Adrian Durbin.[10][11][12] Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed AB 5 on September 18 without an exemption for app-based drivers and employers. The ballot initiative was filed on October 29, 2019. Brandon Castillo, a spokesperson for the campaign supporting the initiative, stated, "We're going to spend what it takes to win. It's been widely reported that three of the companies already shifted $90 million, but we're still in the early phases. The bottom line is: We're committed to passing this."[13] The companies Instacart (Maplebear, Inc.) and Postmates also joined the campaign.[14]

> Through September 23, 2020, Yes on Proposition 22 received $184.3 million, which is the most funds that an initiative campaign has ever received in California (not adjusted for inflation). Uber contributed $50 million, Lyft provided $48 million, DoorDash contrubuted $47 million, InstaCart provided $28 million, and Postmates provided $11 million.

> The campaign No on Prop 22 received $10.7 million. The International Brotherhood of Teamsters, SEIU-UHW West, Service Employees International Union, United Food & Commercial Workers Local 770, and United Food & Commercial Workers Western States Issues PAC—labor unions or union-affiliated committees—were the top-five donors to No on Prop 22.

According to their announcement it was because there're trademark-protected commercial products that use the name Ring and for marketing[1].

>I also wonder if making these public, detrimental and unnecessary, is just a cynical ploy before an election to give the appearance that this administration has been tough on Russia, when actual toughness on Russia would mean not just indictments, but also sanctions and other tangible consequences.

Honestly, I don't mind cynical ploys as much if they involve an agency doing it's usual job. They might be trying to deflect attention or obscure underlying biases, but conducting an investigation and officially making an announcement based on the facts is a good thing. If only more "October surprises" were like this.
We should remember that there is a lot of computing going on in the retina already, and that rod cells of the retina are so sensitive that they can detect even single photons [1].
The density of cells also depends on the location of the FoV that we are talking about. We have many more connections and computation power reserved for the fovea than for our peripheral vision.

With that said, I'm pretty sure that our perception of noise is not as dissimilar as you suggest. By doing the simple experiment of freezing on a static noise frame and asking participants to tell me whether a pixel was black or white, I'd expect most people to get it right.

No, taint analysis is done backwards from points of transaction (Coinbase, retailers, etc) and the US government clearly does a lot of it. If you run a Bitcoin casino, the DOJ will email you asking for info about a given Bitcoin address/txn from time to time, for example, as they track the exchange of hands.
Counter intelligence operations ran by NSA and CIA. They most likely have compromised infrastructure used by the attackers. At the end of the day, Russian cyber ops are still a governmental organization - which means they keep records, have JIRA (or similar) tickets, logs of work to support promotions, etc.

CIA likely has human assets within the ranks of the military intelligence units that could provide information or details of written documents.
Good points. Didn't think of cross-platform.
A big difference between Discord and almost everything else is that server admins aren't real admins and see no more account data than everyone else on the server. This means people can freely join "hostile" servers and servers with untrusted admins, which is important for gaming, considering the toxicity of many communities.
I think it's fair to assume that most HN readers have heard of Nvidia's single existing competitor in the discrete GPU market. But many may not have heard that Intel and ImgTec are entering the market in the next year or two.

You're right that PowerVR drivers are likely to suck. However, you're wrong about Intel being at a process node disadvantage, because their GPUs are going to be fabricated by TSMC :-O
> Discord is a successful company.

I'm bearish on Discord (as I was last year). Discord didn't win, it's burning money and nitro is (currently) not saving them -- just how their previous attempt at monetization (the store) didn't either. Alternative narratives won't make this fact true. People seem to conveniently forget about XFire, and the many other "gaming chat apps" that preceded it. Why Discord appears to have won is because it's free.

We'll see what happens when the money dries up.
Calling workspaces for servers is actually a bit of an “aha”-moment for me.

I’ve found slack super confusing and counter-intuitive in how Cumbersome it is to log in to my workspaces on, for example, my phone. This is because I don’t have a slack account but multiple accounts - one for each workspace and all of them connected to the same email (so for me as a user they’re the same account. come on - Why do I have to sign up every time?)

The UI around this has improved tremendously over the last 6 months, but it is still not great.
Also a heads up on the upcoming end of DST, which falls on different dates in the US vs EU at least
This matches my experience. Some of the moving companies I've used have refused to insure Ikea furniture as well, since they have such a high probability of coming apart during the move.
I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes or LADA in my early forties and two things helped me deal with it. The hospital put me in a room in the oncology department. Seeing the other patients I was sort of glad I was there with 'just' diabetes and not cancer. This made it easier to accept.

After a couple of months of living with diabetes I created a simple app to enter the numbers, glucose level and insulin units, involved in managing diabetes. Among other things the app showed percentage scores of how much the glucose measurements were on target. That little bit of gamification was exactly right for me. Nowadays it's more like autopilot though.

Still it feels a bit awkward when I'm out having dinner with people that don't know I have this. In the first year or so after the diagnosis I would go to the bathroom to take the glucose measurement and insulin shot. Nowadays I explain the situation and take my shot sitting at the table. So far people have been cool about it.
geese I can't stand the UI. The worst part is dealing with muting servers/channels because most admins don't seem to set up reasonable settings (ex: have the main channel always send notifications to everyone on every message.)

I never had these problems with IRC in pidgen.
Your comment is highly inaccurate- and in fact is basically straight up Nvidia propoganda. The article you linked to is an article about AMD submitting code for unreleased hardware, which is exactly what you said they are not doing.

I have been using a Polaris based card for years (card released in 2017), and the drivers were submitted in 2016. The kernel drivers were ready at launch and key features like HDMI audio were all working out of the box. Now, you might need to install a modern kernel for everything to work- but that is the Linux way.

It is true that the initial performance was not super great- maybe about 70% of the possible performance, however this was addressed by subsequent improvements to mesa (userspace portion)

AMD has even gone out of their way to support older, obsolete graphics cards that were released before AMD adopted the open source first strategy.

i would rather offend one person than cater to one person. if everyone else is fun loving and easy going, you do the entire team an injustice by pandering to one toxic person and keeping them on the team... get rid of them. that is what a professional does... professionals value the team more than one person. one person can be replaced easily, a team cannot.
You can also get pretty complete with potatoes and oatmeal.
Alternately take responsibility for fixing it, sending changes upstream, applying pressure that the get accepted, and building defenses against the specific bug in your surrounding code just in case.
Instacart has been a life changer. No longer go to any stores for anything. Amazing, how much less stress and more time there is in the week. When grocery shopping is eliminated.
I kind of disagree. If I "parrot" (Accurately repeat) the original statement, it does not in any way demonstrate understanding, only memorization/note-taking.

Restating, summarizing, or paraphrasing, shows that I understand sufficiently that I can describe it in my own words rather than memorization.

Day in and day out I find that my team members who accurately repeat a statement of problem or solution, may not have a clue what it actually is. Only by asking them to summarize or paraphrase, do we both discover that there's a lack of actual, internalized understanding.

(in negotiations, discussions or conflict, it's also an opportunity to focus and agree on key points; accurately repeating may include any percentage of stylistic content)
My understanding is that FreeBSD freezes its kernel ABI for each major release and this enables third-party drivers to be written against it and supported for that major release. There are out-of-tree graphics drivers in the ports tree making use of this today. Both AMD and Nvidia drivers from what I can tell. Other non-graphics drivers as well.

A freeze for a couple of years seems like a reasonable compromise to me. It's not forever, but it's long enough for third-parties to develop, validate and support a product for. The closest Linux gets to this is vendor kernels which are both vendor-specific, and highly-custom and badly dated. This at least gets you something reasonably current and supported to work with.
thank you, I basically agree with your assessment
No, it's still money to the IRS as well, just like any currency that isn't USD.

However, the tax code treats all non-USD currencies as assets for the purposes of determining when taxable events occur (as a result of differences in the exchange rate between the time the currency was acquired and when it was transacted away).

For example, you acquire 100 GBP for $100 or 10 Bitcoin for $100. Then sometime later, you buy a car for $100 but pay for it with 90 GBP or 8 Bitcoin. There are two transactions: the non-taxable acquisition of the car, and the deemed exchange of the GBP or Bitcoin into USD. Because the GBP and Bitcoin are worth more now than when you first acquired them, you have foreign exchange income and get taxed on that.
Do keep in mind with Discord's original market (gamers), a lot of existing software worked just like that, including teamspeak and ventrilo.
>But yeah, regular cheating just kind of takes the joy out of the competition.

Well, as the saying goes, "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em."

Maybe we should just move over to computer-assisted human chess and compete that way?

The approach to safety in the aviation industry is all about learning from mistakes. Whereas in Healthcare it is often more about winning an inevitable legal battle.

There have been a few efforts recently to try and apply aviation safety lessons to healthcare.

I want to like IRC. Discord is great for gaming or chatting with friends and random people casually, but certain IRC channels tend to have extremely knowledgeable, helpful people you can't find much elsewhere. But IRC clients are just so frustrating. Just today I open the IRC client on my phone and the IP I'm currently assigned is banned from one server? I also tend to have random connection issues to certain servers and trying to Google errors messages shows me forum posts 15 years old that are vague and not helpful in diagnosing the issue.
I use the ellipsis at the start of an IM sentence primarily when I've accidentally hit enter mid-thought.
Yes, science is great, because as Dawkins said, "it works, bitches", but it is not infallible. Even scientist sometimes can make mistakes, put their delusions above scientific principles, or decide to lie and be total cunts. Therefore, science constantly needs to be questioned and tested and there is nothing wrong with doing so.
It's only odd if you think of 'indigenous peoples' as a monolithic group. No one thinks it odd that europeans fought one another, even though they're all european, right? Same deal in the Americas. Cortez would never have prevailed against the Aztec without his Tlaxcalan allies, for example.

> Recycling is a last resort here

Not surprised. Ikea furniture is made out of particle board--saw dust with resins. Last I researched it can't be recycled.
This will all be entirely anecdotal, but Discord has provided great value to my group.

> Setup

How so? New account setup is extremely simple. Are you thinking of how some servers require some advanced setup for your account? Adding a new member to a server is also just sharing a link.

> Paid hosting

While I do wish a self-hosted option were available, I can't see it being a draw for the platform, especially as it would mean releasing a server application to end-users who might not have a good understanding of how to correctly run it. At this point, I'd gladly pay for Discord Nitro if there were any benefit I could get from it.

> Unclear benefits

Most of these are going to be situational based on where your group is coming from, but Discord was the only competitor that really worked for my group. Cross platform, message reactions, reliable, intuitive. Personally, we switched from Facebook Messenger, which despite facebook's atrocious policies, is the most usable/convenient chat application in the world (imho).

> Weird ideological reasons

It was upsetting to lose the functional benefits of being on a facebook platform (real names, communicating with nearly anybody I know on the fly), but we all disliked facebook on an ideological level. That made the switch easier, in the end. Other than that, competitors like Skype and Teams are software dumpster fires, while Slack, Signal, and Telegram are extremely restrictive to users who don't care too much about their particular features.
What I'm doing is game changing. CRISPR may provide hope for other people with the kind of diagnosis I have, but my health is in good shape and I see no reason to take chances on something that could have serious and terrible side effects.

My biggest problem currently is that I'm dirt poor. Trying to solve that is my current focus.
But that wasn't an innovation. Teamspeak, Ventrilo, Mumble, they all work that way.
These packets sometimes just disclose every risk in life that ever existed, which means they don't tell you anything...
To get started, right now we recommend https://www.seeedstudio.com/Grove-Beginner-Kit-for-Arduino-p... (not all the components are supported by blokdots yet, but we are working on that).
>$120M in annual revenue from server boosts and nitro subscriptions?

Are you sure that's not also including the data they are selling of its users?
They have the market and the network effects, so the game is over, regardless of how profitable they are, if they get acquired, etc.
If I can use FIDO2 on my yubikeys in more places, it would be fantastic.
It's not supported by mobile or desktop Safari?
Probably cultured related, like you say.

In both instances they disturb the train of thought which is why I am not a huge fan of open plan offices, nor instant messaging during coding and concentrating. It’s why libraries don’t have buzzers and bells going off.
How does this work on laptop/desktop computers?
now everbody knows your face
