Is not the Chinese navy in the sense of Chinese government. Is Chinese mafia or Chinese big private company or Multinational Big company. For each one you close there will be more to come as long that is profitable. The Chinese (or Japanese or whatever) government will protest and try to retaliate of course

But is not necessarily government. Is "wery well known japanese car maker" storing frozen tuna for speculating with the market prices in a sort of "gold" substitute, but more profitable than gold market. Yes this has happened and is probably happening now. We know it because the 2011 Tsunami destroyed the hidden storages. Japan, Not China (in this case).

Is Totoaba prices in the Chinese market being falsely promoted as miraculous remedy for all stuff and prices manipulated to the point of making small fortunes, where the pirate local fishermen are paid in peanuts. You wipe the pirate locals has the same result as wiping the small drug dealers.

And in the other part of the warfield, we have a bunch of environmentalists without any real money. People that can be overpowered, crushed by lawyers or assasinated selectively. What will be more convenient.
you send the server text; the server sends your browser HTML. That's the difference - the server is taking the text you sent, and allowing it to escape its textual confines and become code/markup. HTML is nice enough to make this easy, where SQL servers have gone the way of parameterized queries to explicitly make this impossible (harder?)
In Europe this is highly irregular, and it did raise a bunch of red flags, as it should.

Unfortunately no actions were taken, there seem to be communication issues within and across the ministries involved.

As long as this isn’t fixed, more data won’t help, quite to the contrary it might tie up resources even further.
Unlikely: most hybrid vegetables do not breed true. If you take seed from one of these vegetables and plant it it is most likely to be sterile (like that classic hybrid, the mule) or else revert to form of one of its ancestors, producing small or even inedible fruits.
This. It gets framed as "encryption = child abuse" and anyone who supports private encryption is obviously a pedo.

There doesn't appear to be an emotional argument the other way - I guess "so you're happy with random police officers[0] browsing your nudes, then?".

It needs to be framed as an emotional argument, because that's what cuts through to the audience these days. Only HN is interested in logical discussions ;)

[0] Actually, not even police officers - there is always an escalation of government departments able to access data that was originally captured to prevent serious crime.
I remember that in March somebody posted here an entry saying that mutation of the virus will make vaccinations only useful in the short term. Were these concerns already addressed at this stage?

We have seen mutations due to minks recently which could make the vaccinations ineffective. These mutations might have been controlled but similar situations may arise in the next years.

For these reasons I am not entirely sure this is the beginning of the end.
How did they measure productivity?

It strikes me from working in tech that in practice, perceived productivity is often simply "communicated productivity" rather than actual productivity. I'm curious to see what the proxies for productivity would be used in studies such as this.
Rather toothless point considering "morals" and "economic well-being of the country" are valid grounds for interference.
Author here. Didn't expect this to show up so soon, but I'm glad people like it — I only published v0.1 on Saturday.

The thing is that this is a different audience than Quest.

Quest is a standalone headset, and this is most likely the reason why it's one of the most popular.

So, if no other company competes in the standalone headset market, Oculus and FB will still be major players in the VR industry, and a lot of people will still keep buying it. Regardless of how shitty FB is.
"Sally and her friends went to the mall, then they left" is ambiguous with or without they being singular. But, if it was normal in colloquial speech, there is no reason to not have it normal in written speech. That would be weird limitation to enforce. I am mostly surprised it was normal in colloquial speech tho.

(In this case, we know that Marak is man, so the whole thread is likely just trolling attempt.)
Who do you think a "regular dev" is?

If it's software for personal use, then the GPL is just fine. The GPL is explicitly designed to protect personal use.

If it's software for commercial use - I mean, that's exactly what the issue is here. Commercial users ought to need to pay for the software they use. Just because you offer a commercial license doesn't mean you need to charge a million bucks for it - if someone emails you and says that they work for a startup, you can always respond with a exclusive commercial license free of charge, if you like.

If you own the software you can charge whatever you like to different people.

I would assume something like with the influenza vaccine, where you have immunity to i think around 70% of currently available virus mutations, if the vaccine works.
06:34PM EDT - Q: plans to support RVV 1.0? A: 0.7.1 for now - when we designed, it was still at that level. We are following and working on that yes.

From https://www.anandtech.com/show/15991/hot-chips-2020-live-blo...

0.7.1 and 1.0 will not be compatible IIRC thus Linux distribution most likely will not support RVV on this.

I'm not sure to understand what 90% means in this context.

We know that more than 80% of the infected people do not show any symptoms, and that around 0.5% (mostly elders) die from COVID.

Do the 90% addresses the death rate of those 0.5% ?
While I kind of see where you're coming from, the statement is a bit of an oxymoron. Doing A with bad form has a higher risk than doing B with average form, for pretty much any A or B you pick. I think deadlifts are a good beginner exercise, and can also serve you well in intermediate lifting for some time, but once the plates rack up, it's better to put your attention elsewhere. I agree that having complex movements for absolute beginners is not a good entry point, but I don't think anyone here is advocating for that.
I do find it interesting how many CVE are use-after-free.
For anyone in the position to be a victim of a targeted attack (like an activist in a suppressing regime) the unexploited 0days can be important. It can be argued that for personal decision making for the general public, the number of exploited ones can be more meaningful.
Does this client take into account the search domain configured in /etc/resolv.conf ?
Agree. That could be a major or the major industry on the moon.
Can't that be interpreted as either of the options in the parent comment?
> strong walls for me but not for thee

Good analogy, especially because governments themselves are living in the same walls (i.e. using the same apps) and this effort will hurt their own security.
thank you, this makes more sense
With the CCP they have a huge adversary and there are probably a lot of people that support the regime. I wish them all the best. I fear such a step does only accelerate the inevitable, but at least it provides some people with hope that there are people with integrity.
You're going to be very disappointed by the other human rights then. They're all about proportionality. Even the right to life can give way "when a public authority (such as the police) uses necessary force to … stop a riot or uprising." https://www.equalityhumanrights.com/en/human-rights-act/arti...
IIRC Allwinner has already sent some patches related to RISC-V to kernel and also suggestions to SBI specification. So far the beginning is good. Remember that they are using IP from Alibaba. Alibaba might as well work on upstreaming, etc. efforts for this (speculation).
Also interesting to note that this is a mRNA vaccine, where the production of antigen within the cell is induced by injecting a RNA sequence instead of a disabled virus.
Yes. Or try another vaccine.
Perhaps its something like "90% percent of the individuals' immune system are successful in quick eliminating covid without any symptoms or adverse reactions".

I admit I know very little on how immunity to diseases work, but I imagine that with viruses there is a chance it'll progress to a full blown infection even if you are vaccinated in some cases.
Food. Eat it. Not too much. There are plenty of other first world problems to spend your time worrying about.
Be aware that this does not represent the life of a blind person at all.

If an American goes to Beijing, they might have a very hard time communicating with other people, but that doesn't mean everyone in Beijing has a hard time communicating with other people, most Americans just don't know the language.

It's a similar situation here, if you're used to using sight for everything, you haven't learned how to use the white cane well, never actually learned where your stuff is, don't know how to use VoiceOver etc, obviously you're going to have a hard time. That still doesn't say anything about the experience of actual blind people.

To actually get some idea how it's like, I suspect you'd need a couple years and some good teachers.
the author could've done a much better job doing a post comparing how easier is go use MD instead of Tex.
in the end, as he has pretty limited knowledge of tex, no one could argue with him or ask for solutions for some features presented in tex that md, rtf and others do not have, for example, the tex embedded programming language is great to create flows, graphs, and other algorithmically representations.
it is also good for creating 2d and 3d graphs without relying on other tools and referencing back in the text.

I guess the point is that tex is not for him. if you don't write books, papers, articles, scientific work.

I do also think tex is overly complicated for the basic stuff, but depending on the work you're doing, beamer may be much easier than powerpoint.

each tool has its uses. this tool isn't just for you. let it be.
I would recommend the author to not write this kind of posts again.
Adventures in String Reversal (2013)
I don't disagree with a single thing you've said. That said, when comparing presidents you have to compare them to each other, or to candidates that might replace them.

In that light the bar is set so appallingly low that even Trump managed to get across it. Presidential candidates in the US are almost universally pro-war and pro-military escalation, even while pretending otherwise.

Covid set back attitudes to public transport by two decades, says RAC
I love Kaleidoscope. It was a bit of a struggle to persuade myself that it was worth the fairly chunky initial outlay, but it’s so fast and easy to proof text changes with it, that it has absolutely made my life $70 more pleasurable over the last couple of years. Thanks to Christopher for sorting it out with a future.
Just say it is commons clause, not ordinary open source.

I've even become convinced (based on someone digging out enough references) that the term ipen source was being used before OSI, but for the rest of the HN, just say "commons clause" without saying "open source" and I guess most bashing disappears.

There will always be that person annoyed that it isn't AGPL - or MIT for that matter - but for most if us we just want to know what the license actually is.
Well, I suppose someone can be very productive in building the right solutions for the wrong problems.
> what would it even mean for somebody to be "90% immune" to a disease?

Hasn't this virus already mutated to a bunch of different strands? Could it mean you're immune to 90% of the known variations of the virus?
What extra does a virus have over and above some RNA? Is it just a spike protein for injection into a cell or does it depend?
Great news, but I think the importance of the -80 degrees centigrade storage requirement is underestimated.

Serbia, where I live, has ordered this vaccine. And our medical system is far from world-class, but leaps and bounds from less developed countries, and I honestly think logistics here will not be able to match those requirements. I've seen tetanus vaccines just being kept in regular, commercial, refrigerators. There have been cases where they have been switched off because they were not on UPSs or not up to standards. Vehicles equipped for transport are an issue by itself.
Burger King teams up with TerraCycle for reusable packaging pilot
For the price point they are going it's plenty enough. That's also enough to boot Linux distributions in headless mode.
While it's a minor logistical challenge, it's simple enough to ship this in a liquid nitrogen dewar.

Even very small cities will have liquid nitrogen facilities. Shipping from the nearest city to most of the population sounds very doable in 24 hours.

Remember you only need to get most of the population to halt the spread. If there's some tiny village 3 days hike away in the rainforest, you can skip them.
Considering Denmark is also one of the richest countries on earth we can neither expect other countries to a) detect such a mutation early and b) handle the issue promptly.

So I think it's somewhat likely that we'll see mutations emerge all over the world.

Whether this vaccine works depends on how early we get most people vaccinated. It may only be a short term patch, which we will see once it's rolled out, you can't really predict the long term without any measurements.

I think, it's less this, and more preventing others as passing these ideas as their own. Which is valid. I've seen sleazier academics just CnP things without attribution.
This CDC page defines it in terms of cases:

https://www.cdc.gov/csels/dsepd/ss1978/lesson3/section6.html

So "disease" is probably an infection there, not relatively milder infection.

90% still crushes the transmission rate.
I also forgot .net
Get some Peloton too. People will probably want to start exercising in their homes.
Agree, and it's also based on the number of 0 days _that have been found_. If more researchers are looking for them and disclosing them for Chrome (and it makes sense, since so much of web traffic goes through Chromium-based browsers and also because Google has a lot more people doing that), then you'll see more.

F-15E Strike Eagle – 389th Fighter Squadron Aerial B Roll
I agree with you.

I once owned a Mac Mini and iPod. Great hardware, but as a programmer I really hated the software. Too much restrictions. Not enough advanced user power.

That's why I always find it weird that some programmers are big Apple fanboys. I love Linux and the power that it brings. Why would a power user want to dabble in a restricted ecosystem? Never quite got that part.
Yes, startups are definitely like that. I was lucky to not work in those kinds of startups.

What happened all the time is that I would look at competition and be surprised by their success. Their product would be extremely bad compared to ours.

I would be surprised by the amount of missing features (that they still listed in their product sheets). They would close million dollar deals promising features that they barely or never delivered.

But checking out their team, they would all be very experienced salesmen.
I'm the author, and I'm entirely guilty of that misunderstanding. This is not what I meant, it's just a commented targeted at a number of different people who have stolen my stuff in recent years, in different areas of my work, and not only about Pijul, genuinely claiming to rediscover it after they had read the code, read the papers, asked me questions about it.

That comment of mine doesn't belong in that post, I removed it.
> I personally find it very implausible that in both elections that Trump was in he produced results about 3% better than polls indicated he would.

We'll have to see once the final counting is done, but +/- 3% is within margin of error for most polls.

Polls also seem to have a hard time finding new voters to poll. It's very exciting to see the records numbers of people who voted, many for the first time.
90% of the time it works every time. :-)
So what does it mean? Less severe symptoms or sterilizing immunity?
The markets seem to wildly yo-yo with every piece of negative and positive news. Case in point: Zoom is currently down 10% but I’ll bet it will have rallied by the end of the day.

Yes, that’s a subtlety that my original comment didn’t address.

However, even patents can’t be licensed in perpetuity, so they can’t possibly apply to all future work. GPL on the other hand doesn’t have an expiry date.

In addition, there’s no implicit patent, you have to apply in every jurisdiction where you want to protect your idea, and IIRC in most jurisdictions you either can’t retroactively apply for a patent after you’ve published the idea, or you only have a short period after publishing before the right is forfeited.
And forcing games to be individually approved also allow them to apply the rating system as well, so for example a kid won't be able to play a game rated above their age for example.

I don't like how Apple is enforcing it, but that's arguably better than outright banning these platforms.
Just curious, why the reaction towards this and the ones from Russia/China are different ?
A feature of simple paper based systems is that normal people can understand the system and can even help to validate the process. It may have flaws, but they are pretty apparent to everyone.

Technology and encryption seems far less easy to understand and more open to malicious complaints. A voter who doesn't trust the current system is not going to trust block chains or hashing algorithms.

Interesting timing here with regards to the US election.

Edit/Update: "She said she learned of the results from the outside panel of experts shortly after 1 p.m. on Sunday, and that the timing was not influenced by the election."

Edit2: I failed to realize that it was necessary to point out that the timing of this press release is interesting. I wasn't intending to imply the vaccine would be held back for any political reason.
When remote work doesn't cut it
If you have the opportunity, post-Covid19, I recommend checking out one of these places that allow visitors to experience being blind.
In Germany one such place may be found in Frankfurt, it's called DialogMuseum. I believe similar setups can be found in other countries too, someone mentioned the Netherlands.
For me this visit was a bit of a revelation. The way it works is you book a guided tour, at that time they had 60 and 90 minutes options. You get there and are handed off a white cane and then enter through a corridor as a group led by a visually impaired guide who will take care of the group.
From that point on, the place becomes professionally(!) pitch black, there is no slight source of light, the eyes cannot see anything wide open even even after the few minutes it would normally take to adjust, this actually triggers a feeling of uneasiness, and the guide carefully checks if anyone goes into a panic attack - there are actually exits you can be guided to if you can't follow the tour for any reason.
The place is split into "rooms" which simulate different environments: you go to a park where you need to avoid hitting trees, then a boat ride that is a bit of a challenge to board, then trying to cross a street with a high curb and traffic light that you need to figure when it's safe and in the end we went to a bar where I just handed my wallet to the bartender since I could not figure out how to prepare the right amount of money - got the wallet back and actually they took just the right amount of money!
The environments are built authentically at least feel that way to the touch or bump, and there's also sound effects for completion.
That tour gave me a lot of insights and respect towards the everyday challenges a visually impaired person encounters, that I otherwise only theoretically had.
No free license disallows making money. But the requirement for making source code available means people dont need to pay.

To make money you need to offer something more than just one program. Adding value outside the code itself is viable.

Oh, just in time for Kamalas presidency.
Where have I seen this before.

I mean honestly, it's too eerily similar.
Ah you are correct. But let’s make a physical analogy. If I can make an uncrackable safe in which I put evidence of a crime along with lots of other secrets. The police come to my door with a reasonable search warrant. I tell them I have the key to the safe but will not tell them where it is. They know they have absolutely no way to get into my safe without taking about 100 years and $2 billion. What happens next?
