Any thoughts on the immunogenicity of optogenetic approaches? Anecdotally, it was a major pain when working with optogenetic stimulation in the PNS.
You've really got to be careful with this sort of thing. This is how Rush Limbaugh got into otherwise sane people's hearts and minds: he explained how the legislative process worked in accessible language.
Twitter should be careful as they curate more and more content. If you start curating content so much, at one point people will start expecting that from you and you will be liable for way much content than they can handle.

I for one cannot wait for Dorsey and his crew to get a taste of their own medicine, since it doesn't matter if I disagree with GOP (let's face it, this is again a right vs left issue), I still believe they have a right to free speech.

I have an interest in functional (Lisp) and decided that for me Clojure was a good choice. It was designed to be used in industry so there's people out there who are using it for real applications. Although I wasn't a fan of the JVM I've learnt my bias was wrong and it's given me access to an ecosystem of libraries.

As I'm more informed now I think that learning Racket, F# or one of the others would also have been fine. But, I don't regret Clojure.

They're all small(ish) communities so you have to be willing to invest in the community, be willing to put together solutions from bits of information and enjoy experimenting.

Whether that's the best use of your time is up to you ;-)

But Twitter has officially stated it was a mistake to block posting of the link to the Post's story.

So why is the Post's account still locked?

More generally, it does not appear Twitter is impartially enforcing standards against leaking private information. There are no problems posting stories to Trump's illegally-leaked tax returns, or Melania's phone calls, for example.
Hello! To give you a bit of background... Smidge is created by the same folks who brought you BugHerd.

We were tired of sending 2000 emails to lock in only 10-20 (<1%) customer interviews. It was too time-consuming and we figured there had to be a better way. So we went and built it.

Would LOVE any and all feedback :)
That is a really really big danger here - but it's also how American media worked for a really long time. It comes with an enormous inherent pro-establishment bias but I think it's valid to view that bias as possibly being the lesser of evils.

I'm still on the fence personally, this is a really hard problem.
Nothing in your comment says the information is fake or false. In fact, the Biden campaign and his son Hunter have not denied any of the information either.

Given that Twitter has allowed people to publish anything and everything about Trump regardless of source (or lack thereof), this is a clear cut case of bias to push their preferred candidate.

A different take on the same idea, Google now adds "fact checks" when searching for videos of Biden, in his own words, describing his flip flopping position on fracking. Try it for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=biden+fracking

I'd love to know what other fact checks they've added. I can't find an explicit list. I submitted an Ask HN to see if anyone knew how to get that list. But that post was flagged as some people may feel that information is too dangerous to disclose.

Both actions are clearly driven by bias. Whether they're allowed to do it on a private platform is a separate topic. But you can't claim to be for free speech when the only speech you suppress or "clarify" is that which is negative to your candidate of choice.
https://www.eff.org/issues/cda230

Twitter (and FB) have crossed the rubicon in editorializing other people's posts with 'fact checks' (sic), shadow bans and public bans.

Practically the opposite of the free speech maxim 'I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it' and alarmingly close to totalitarian use of their publishing power.
I assume by your broken english you are a foreign actor? btw, the repair shop is located very close to one of the Biden residences.
I wrote back to David Barrett (expensify CEO) because the email felt like a total breach of trust coming from Expensify. I remember thinking "dude, you process my receipts, you have no reputational standing to speak into any matters except my receipt situations. For that, I delete you." the LAST thing I want is for every company to spam me with their political views. Yuck.
Great question! See the supplementary note on tissue heating: https://web.stanford.edu/group/dlab/media/papers/chenNBT2020...
Sure: Twitter is trying to tip the election in favor of Biden. When the shoe was on the other foot, they never blocked news outlets (no matter how trashy) that promoted anonymous accusations without evidence, or shared illegally-obtained information.

The laptop and its contents seem to have been obtained legally in this case, and even if the whole thing reeks of parallel construction, they are not even honestly enforcing their stated rule (which again, does not seem to apply when it benefits the other faction).
Yes. I don't know how regular it is, but Austin Ventures used to regularly kill founder CEOs after Series B (maybe (probably?) correctly), but replace them from a bunch of bench-players (we used to call them "the Boys Club". They would generally wreck the company, but AV played enough shell games that they, the LPs and their friends always made out OK.

EDIT: They (AV) have more recently (not super-recently) moved into mostly PE, and the incubator seems to be gone (?), but given the VC penchant to syndicate, and AV's penchant to not be nice to work with, even as the big-fish in a small pond, the number of people at places like Interwest or Sevin Rosen to work with them (Central Texas VC types), maybe they felt constrained? Or maybe they shot enough entrepreneurs in the back? Their 5-year-ago-fund was big enough to qualify for PE activity - maybe their new-new partners (the old ones retired about that time) decided they would prefer to apply their Wharton MBA skills/talents to PE? IDK.
The custom home automation system I built relies on google's (very good) off-line voice recognition + automagic [i] + opencv face detection.

I did not want the home asst listening all the time - as it's highly likely to falsely trigger just listening to radio or tv it... so instead I use python+opencv to detect if the assistant (an old rooted samsung note) is being directly looked at - then it wakes up to listen for the trigger word and the command. Of course, I can also manually trigger it via any device in the house.

librsync has absolutely no connection to the rsync utility, it's a distinct implementation of the underlying differential algorithm. The rsync utility doesn't use it, and they don't even share a common data format at any level.
How the "public" uses the service is irrelevant; the legal regulations are all based on what the service is.

Social media is fundamentally different from ISPs and other utilities- there are some protections and restrictions under section 230 (for now) but number of customers does not a utility make.
I'd like to see something like this for practitioners. I kind of have a feel for what's out there, but I don't know of anything that is:
1. pleasant to use
2. simple
3. scannerless
4. supports left recursion that produces a left-associative parse
Meh. Just go to the NYPost directly if you want.

We shouldn't be forcing and infringing on the freedoms of corporations to decide what they can sell/show.
The example is in my OP: It's a session where white people acknowledge that they take personal responsibility for participating in a system of "white privilege" and admit to being "racist" and "gatekeepers of white supremacy." (That's the bailey.)

By contrast, your motte: "training on how to work with people from diverse backgrounds.

> It should not be the job of the social media companies to be judge and jury for truth. Let the people decide for themselves what is true and false

This only works if they remove themselves from choosing what to show who, what to promote, and what to demote.

As long as they are actively choosing who will see what, how often, what things will be promoted, etc. Then they are basically the judge and jury. This is their current dilemma. That's why they're starting to have stronger moderation. They'd want to actively promote things that make them money, and moderate away all things that puts them in hot water, without it affecting the money they make.
"inherently corrupted by patriarchal and racist power structures" is a quite strong and specific (but I'm assuming also a bit of a strawman on your part). But "extremely misaligned incentives and pretty abusive to the foot soldiers in a way that compromises personal integrity" is a fair characterization of a lot of modern academic science. Everything about the way the system is designed incentivizes

Out of curiosity, do you have a STEM PhD? How many millions of dollars in grant money have you raised? How many 100+ citation papers have you published? Are you TT @ an R1 or are you a group lead industry research lab?

I ask because I find that the people who are most excited to defend "academic science" from these sorts of structural criticisms often don't actually have much experience working within the system they are defending. People who actually work in the system know there's plenty to critique.

We should be proud of what academic science has accomplished in the last ~70 years, but not blind to how the extremely poor treatment and high pressure put on grad students and early-career professors warps incentives, creates the conditions for abusive behavior, attracts the wrong sorts of people into management positions, etc.

Really enjoying the comments
These comments can be tedious, but same! Been using this X for a few years now and would rather purchase a battery replacement.

The one feature to make me upgrade is a high refresh rate screen. I switched from 60hz to 120hz on my main monitor a few years ago and I can’t go back. I imagine the same would happen with my phone since it’s mainly used to reading articles like this one.
> My understanding is that the secure boot cryptographic root of trust for Intel is in the PTT

No. The public keys used for verifying secure boot payloads are in the system firmware and are validated on the CPU. If you have a feature like Boot Guard enabled then the Management Engine will verify the firmware bootblock with a key that's flashed into the chipset, but that's not required by the UEFI spec and has nothing to do with PTT. Under no circumstances is the TPM used. On ARM the initial firmware validation will be carried out by the SoC, but there's no TrustZone involved.
I suspect your experience with Tcl is a bit old. Tcl finally standardized on a single core OO library several years ago.

The quoting issues can be a pain, but if you learn to treat it like a language rather than extended shell, you learn the tricks to avoid escaping/quoting issues.
I haven't yet really tried to commit to one of these Roam-like tools (is there a word for a note-taking tool where every bullet is a nested note, and they can link to each other?), except for a small demo notebook I made, but I wonder how people feel they mesh with the concept of "evergreen" notes.

I've found from using Evernote for a decade that I've really focussed on making evergreen notes -- notes that I continue adding to over time. I worry that the Roam-like notebooks instead lead you to making a "Personal Wikipedia" of your knowledge, where many notes are just the stub of an article, because it's so easy to do.

I worry that, if I used this, instead of a 2-3 big pages on Topic X, I'd have 50 little notes on Topic X, which, yes, I can find through backlinks, but I would not have felt like I had synthesized.

Thoughts?
But such massive companies probably should be held to standards similar to governments... they probably will eventually.
The outrage over this move is so disingenuous. Reputable news outlets deemed this story to lack credibility, including the NY Post's more reputable (but still conservative, pro Trump!) sister publication, WSJ.

It's not the NY Post's inherent right to inject misinformation into elections.
Why is the CEO failing? The answer is written from the perspective of the VC. Maybe it's a bad founder-CEO. Could there be another side to this story? Let's try and approach this from the CEO's perspective with an open mind.

CEO has failed to manage numerous important challenges... Why is the VC is fixated on X/Y/Z when I'm trying to corner a bigger piece of an expanding pie? The VC believed in my vision when they invested and are now micromanaging me as soon as I hit a couple speed bumps.

Senior leadership team has been a revolving door...Senior leadership is typically installed by the board majority holding VC. What happened to all the sweat equity built when this startup concept and industry was very uncertain and the company went from default: "dead" to default: "alive". All these MBA grads want is to slow down growth and clutter up the site with a ton of garbage ads.

CEO has messed up important relationships with customers, employees, and other important stakeholders, when the organization has become toxic as a result of the CEO’s abrasive personality.

Could you imagine dealing with egotistical (but correct) 20-something Steve Jobs or Mark Zuckerburg making you gorge down humble pie as a white haired well credentialed VC? Would FAANGM be recognizable today if the founders got booted early and replaced with a highly credentialed buddy of the VC?
You need an actuator to induce current into the neuron. In this case, a light-sensitive ion channel, which have proved highly effective.
That doesn't explain what "agreements" you think twitter is "breaking". There's a lot of disinformation about 230 floating around, but as the EFF page points out, it's a broad protection. It isn't at all contingent on them behaving like a common carrier.
Unfortunately most people are too blinded by political allegiance too correctly decide what is true. Might be a damming view of the common person but that doesn't make it untrue.
There are some of us which rely on better signal quality and the X55 modem is significantly better than earlier modems for LTE.

Next time you're in a situation where you're complaining about not getting signal, think about this.

In NYC, being in the skyscrapers but not near a window can cause these problems.

The cost of these phones are a fraction of the cost of a reliable cell service provider such as Verizon. In fact, they cost less than $2 per day.
Those companies have a MUCH weaker stranglehold over global communications than the media companies of 30 years ago. I can publish a website and have it viewed by (almost) anyone in the world without going through any of those 4 companies.

If you had a video or book or article 30 years ago, you couldn't even distribute it yourself around the world without the partnership of a major media company. It is way easier now.

Did people consider this a danger to free speech in the 90s? I certainly don't remember it that way. No one was worried that you couldn't get a main stream publisher to publish your crackpot theories, or that no cable tv station would air your crazy rants. No, you were forced to self publish, and deal with the fact that your audience was a lot smaller than if you could get a major publisher/media company to publish your work.

The NyPost still has a website, and anyone can still go to see it. It is way more accessible than self-published work was 30 years ago.
It's tough. I see where they're coming from not wanting people to access people's emails without being properly vetted. At least it's an additional "badge" you can display on the security side of things.

Don't forget to budget in the fact that it's annual...
perfectly ok from me, honestly I'm flattered :)
It's all about how it's packaged. In the grocery store under a gossip magazine about who cheated on who, and people roll their eyes. The same lie being shared by everyone from your cousins to the president of the united states tends to be seen a little different to the eyes of people who prefer to defer their critical thinking capacities to whoever is the loudest and most charismatic.
I don't think it's wise to make some guesstimates about the number of people who will be directly affected by each policy, then sort all policies by that number descending, and then expect or hope that only the top N policies on that list receive political attention.

For one thing, guesstimating the number of affected people is pretty subjective. A policy can be important to me even though it does not nominally affect me directly. Secondly, this method doesn't even attempt to weigh policies by anything else, like the magnitude of benefits/downsides, budgetary concerns, civil rights implications, etc. For instance, in my view, it's fine for a political issue involving state-sanctioned persecution or bigotry of a very small minority to share political attention with a large public health crisis.
ahh thank you https://github.com/tannerkrewson/rocketcrab/issues/55
OP here, the statement mentioning Breitbart alongside the NYT isn't meant to make them equivalent. It's meant to point out that I follow media outlets with major influence for their respective audience. Breitbart is unfortunately a favorite for Republican audiences alongside Fox News, which is why they're mentioned. It's important to track media outlets that have large influence over Democrat and Republican audiences to be aware of what the parties will use as "evidence" to their position and the downfall of those sources.
I think there needs to be rules about transparency for media companies. In court you have to argue about and explain any disallowance of evidence; however in the court of public opinion, the media, no such rules apply.

Obviously you have to be careful when coming up with rules for government regulation of media, but the laissez faire thing we're doing now doesn't seem to be heading on a positive trendline.
well yes... it's a learning curve and it takes a while but if you are familiar with the jvm and xml and to some degree spring-framework and reflection it's usally pretty easy to find a root-cause - you also have great tooling like async-profiler or just sending `kill -3 <pid>` to get a stacktrace. At least you've got a hill to climb upon instead of an empty field.
What what, no, not at all :P

We where discussing our main app, a personal crm that connects with Gmail.

The app we're sharing on HN today is our note taking app that only requires access to your calendar data of course!!

You only need to give us a read-only access to your calendar in order to use our note taking app inside of your Gmail. Hope that clarifies things!
Looks like a great way to keep my photos, videos and documents backed up :)
>There is nothing intrinsically leftist about this.

Exactly, the world is not that polarised that anyone not agreeing with right wing conspiracies is left wing.
No-no, it is just crippled.
Brewing beer and baking bread are canaries in a coal mine. If you find yourself interested in either of those, quit your job immediately and go to Akihabara for a month.

Home-baked bread is amazing and worth the 15-30m of your daily life every now and then. In America, it's inconvenient/expensive to get really good bread. Brewing beer is more effort, but I bet people find the process and reward fulfilling and wholly worthwhile.
I'm not sure if I'd say that most people would be able to tell. But I'm sure photography people would be able to tell. Unless you're a wannabe influencer or a working professional, what matters is not whether other people would be able to tell. Nobody cares about your pictures. What matters is if you can tell, and how it makes you feel.
Cloudify upgrades its cloud ‘orchestrator of orchestrators’ with new release
I don't think there's any evidence that the times purposefully published information that they strongly suspected to be untrue. That is what the post did. The times made mistakes, but they admitted it and apologized, as seen in the link you posted. The post maliciously overruled their own newsroom to post fake news.
Seems like a really simple solution, revert drug stores and retail to the old behind the counter model that dominated in the 1800-1900s. You walk in, go to the counter and ask for for specific products rather than being self serve. As a few kiosks to order and a few pick up windows; that would be significantly cheaper than losing this much product from shop lifting or closing stores.
The huge advantage I was referring to is that no competitor can provide Windows instances without paying whatever price Microsoft sets and complying with whatever terms they set. They can make it infeasible to compete whenever they feel threatened.

As for downloading and using Windows for free, sure you can, but it's not allowed to. Using Windows illegally has always been an option even if it's slightly easier now. If you're a business, Microsoft will sometimes audit you, so you can't rely on this approach.

In any case, regardless of whether it's a good idea to use an unlicensed copy, where are you getting that they're working towards making in free?
Fight Club, though, was just fancying up and decontextualizing the first sentence of Milton (EDIT: John Maynard, nor Milton) Keynes famous quote: "In the long run we are all dead. Economists set themselves too easy, too useless a task if, in tempestuous seasons, they can only tell us that when the storm is long past the ocean is flat again."

I would be very surprised if a financial news outlet choosing the Fight Club quote did so at random and not specifically because of its predecessor.
The most consistent person-to-person communications error I've experienced is the failure to document decisions clearly and concisely in a mutually agreed upon interpretation of the decision. I've been in multiple contentious meetings where everyone (in theory) made their arguments about whatever the issue was and then, after it seems like the air has been cleared and some sort of accommodation or decision has been made, everyone disperses, without a common agreement on both what the issues are/were and the decision(s) that were agreed upon.

It seems horribly bureaucratic, or an attempt to cast blame, but it helps to ensure everyone's on the same page (even if they disagree about whether or not the "right" decision has been made, they share common facts). It helps build continuity in an organization as it grows, and gives historical context to "how did we get here" sorts of questions. If it's pure code you can look back in the revision history, but if it's organizational communications, telling someone to search mailing lists or Slack or whatever is not helpful.

The most helpful documents I've either written or had to consult stated what the problem was, what the key issues were that needed to be resolved, and what the resolution was. For bonus points you include who was involved and what their roles were. For more bonus points you include the specific conditions that should cause the decision to be reviewed (not necessarily reversed or altered, but reviewed).
