Few people really want unleavened news: it's boring. You can certainly get it, and you can even pay for it if you really need it (Bloomberg terminals!). This is doubly so for local news.

I think we need to distinguish what specifically we're against, and that's hyper-partisanship. Working backwards from how a story might affect a party or candidate. Cherry-picking details to assemble a case where giving even a slightly fuller picture would present the opposite.

But fundamentally for news to be interesting it really does have to convey a story, to engage the reader's sense of drama somehow.
I kept my notes from college. They're pretty much useless today because there's no context.

If I had had the foresight to bring along a cassette recorder, that would have been the context. But I didn't, and neither did anyone else. Of course, there's no way I could have afforded the large number of cassette tapes, either, so the point is moot.

It's too bad all those lectures are lost to history.
I've seen it go down quite a lot. https://discordstatus.com/ shows at least 5 breakages in the last week.
Yeah the way everyone is treating this as a technical problem instead of a corporate culture problem make me wary of repeats. You’re not fixing the root cause

This is especially true on iOS, where the vendor likes changing the APIs and rules at short notice.
The exact dates are not necessarily set in advance in a Rule 10b5-1 plan. The broker can make the decision based on metrics specified in the plan.

I'm guessing that the sharp stock price rise caused by the announcement triggered the sale based on these predetermined metrics, as it was meant to be.

That is to say, this is a non story and the article only tries to whip up controversy where there is none.
It's Germany, penalizing change is what they do best.

I have zero faith that we will do anything productive. I am so disappointed in the human race, more specifically large businesses.

We have known for a long time, the science is solid and being updated constantly, yet large companies don't do shit.

Doesn't matter how much recycling I do (which turns out is probably a waste of time), if a fucking billion dollar company creates a huge mess in a 3rd world country and pays peanuts.

"middle ground" is anti both sides.
As rightly mentioned, things are very polarised now. Thanks to hyper-targeted social media content, one side has no clue what is the other side reading & making opinions from.
> If we were to compare this statistic honestly with what women experience, we'd find that women experience sexual assault at a much higher rate than men are falsely accused of it. It's hard for me to see this as a 'privilege' we afford "young women".

This is a related, but separate problem. I'm not personally a fan of Injustice Olympics so I'm not going to compare the two and see which is worse; they're both terrible and they both need to be solved (as much as any such societal problems can be "solved"), but OP was specifically referring to false accusations against men which, granted, are asymmetrically punished. Consider the punishment a man receives when he is found to have sexually harassed a woman (both societally and legally) vs. the punishment a woman receives when she is discovered to have falsely accused someone (again, both societally and legally).
Interesting proposal!

I think in practice it would devolve into "join my group and vote for me". You'd see people on Twitter trying to convince their followers to join their fan group. Once they got themselves a group of 100, they'd tell followers to join the group of a friend who was ideologically aligned.

You could also form the groups randomly. But assigning every person in the US to a 100-200 person group, arranging for them to meet in person, and letting them socialize enough to know who to pick could be logistically challenging, especially to do in a timely manner. Perhaps if you did it via the internet and used an app such as gather.town to make it feasible to get to know your group. Or perhaps if 100-200 person groups persisted between elections so the overhead of getting to know people was a one-time thing.

All these systems except sortition result in "rule by extraverts", which is arguably undesirable.

An approach that allows for introvert rulers: Let every person nominate whoever they want (including themselves?) Put all those names in a hat, then draw names randomly from the hat for the purpose of sortition. That way if I'm an introvert, and my introvert friend has insightful political opinions, I can nominate them. People would nominate their favorite celebrity a lot, but the flip side of that would be that if you voted for a celebrity whose name was already drawn, your vote is effectively wasted. So there's a bit of an incentive to nominate someone obscure that no one else will nominate. You would probably want to check and see if a person was actually willing to serve before nominating them. (I think it would be unwise to make service in this body mandatory the way jury duty is?)

That one reminds me of liquid democracy, which I believe Glen Weyl has criticized on the basis that it leads to polarization, though I'm not sure why.
That is the promise of APIs, but there is no guarantee.
Ctrl-F: "War"

Well, this is a useless article, then.

America is a war-fighting nation.

Any discussion of the 'fate of our children' which doesn't account for America's extravagant war industry, is incomplete.

Men are being sent off to fight wars. That percolates through all strata.
Race is defined in the minds of racists.

Would a Nazi consider someone "not Jewish" because they're not observant or religious?

Of course not, don't be absurd.

Would a Nazi consider someone "not Jewish" because the Jewish blood was only on the father's side?

Of course not, don't be absurd.

Rabbis might disagree, but to me that just underscores that race does not have an objective basis. Race is defined by racists.

How does this compare to any loyalty scheme that people opt into? I'd think this applies also to people who pick up a paper stamp card.
All nontrivial multi-user installations I'm aware of (universities, corporate, ... make it a dozen I've had to deal with) have one thing in common: none of them use things like accountsservice, policykit et al. Any extra plumbing, if necessary, is done through PAM one way or another.

The Vulnerable Can Wait. Vaccinate the Super-Spreaders First
Thanks, I will make sure to check this out. Does anyone have any articles or documentation on this?
The larger chassis allows for better cooling and more battery. Their comments would make it seem that the same processor in the MacBook Pro performs better because of more thermal headroom due to active cooling. The Air is fanless.
That is misunderstanding, yes. What people are arguing for might be something like the old Net Book Agreement: if you sell it to middleman X for price $A, you also have to sell it to middleman Y for price $A, and aren't allowed to gratuitously turn down intermediaries.
I don't see people mentioning it here, but the Pro machine only supports one external display. People have called the sales rep to confirm and this is indeed the case.

This is kind of bad news for the Pro machine.
You don't need to know what a b- tree is, just a binary tree.
The question was about a simple binary tree, which is really trivial, even you have no idea of b-tree's and you never inverted a binary tree yet.

What are the advantages of Influx-iOX compared to Apache Druid? There seems to be much overlap in feature set and target use cases: seperate storage from compute, using parquet for columnar storage, good at analytical workloads on timeseries.
I was thinking about the exchange, and it dawned on me that GPT-3 has really demonstrated frontend generation capability. I'd absolutely love to see it build my app's data layer from description (don't call it an ORM!) but I don't even know where to start looking for that.
Maybe a textual link next to the "Reply" and "Add Comment" buttons?
Interesting idea. How would you model the forecast time in this case? I'm not an expert but to my knowledge, you can only have one time index in InfluxDB, right?
That's what I expect, too. In the end, the biggest problem is always to understand and change complex foreign code.
"Handouts" are viewed very differently then taxes by the general public. One is the government giving out free stuff the other is them taking YOUR money.

Ask HN: Are air filters useful and safe to use?
I am hearing mixed reviews and advice on the internet. Some people report getting irritated by some filters which generate ozone to get rid of the odour (not sure if how true given it's very little). Others report better sleep and environment.

Which is it?
Yeah, I just thought about all those 499/599 Euro (factory-new) laptops that are being sold in Germany. They are okayish but nothing I'd like to compare great systems against.
So you're saying our society is unable to work with boys correctly?
Can I? That would be great. I thought InfluxDB did not support that but I might be wrong, I'm not really an expert.
I have been thinking about it and I think a big contributor to the internet being boring is the improvement made on the ranking of everything.

I used to complain a lot about the "here are the top X" so-called blog posts. But when you want information about a topic that you don't know anything about and for which you have absolutely no will to invest time in they are all you need to know.

Or take reddit. You want to learn about a topic. Go to its subreddit. Sort posts by top with timeframe = all time and after half an hour reading the top posts you know pretty much all you need to know about the topic (mundane topics obviously. Scientific topics excluded).

I could go on and on. It becomes hard to find a hidden gem on the internet becomes gems are not hidden anymore but exposed.
No, even better would be to trigger a revaluation of all stock values on that date, and tax the income (as normal income, not capital gains) as if 100% of their stock was sold at that price.

So if you hold 100 million shares valued at 1 USD/share, and sell 1 million at 2 USD/share, your tax liability will be assumed on you selling 100 million shares at 2 USD/share (or 200 million of regular income).

If the reaction here to the touchbar is representative, perhaps they didn't want the M1 announcement to be overshadowed by the new feature related whining.
Never, ever, ever do this in production. This will block at least two threads, which will cause premature thread pool starvation at spike loads.

This pattern, 'sync-over-async', is to be avoided at all costs, at all times.

You're not going to like it, but the MS recommended way of dealing with this is to make your callstack async.

In all honest - if you're making an ASP net core web app, go all in on async from the start. If you have to mix and match, never go sync-over-async inside an action.
Educated guess: shifted with net6.0-android. That is the core driver. Same as swift integration with net6.0-ios.
My observation is that in the adult business world, masculine traits can be advantageous. But before that, in schooling and such, masculine traits have few benefits outside of sports, and are frequently discouraged and suppressed. This causes dissonance, where men are being raised to be gentle, only to reach adulthood and realize that male privilege as advertised does not benefit them.

Women, especially attractive women, seem to receive more support, attention, and sympathy than men. In general, they have less pressure to succeed, and more options to fall back on. I suspect this leads to an easier transition from teenager to adult, though this advantage fades as they age, and they deal with unfair disadvantages otherwise.

As an aside, I'll mention that in recent years the internet has greatly magnified the amount of attention young women receive. Few talk about it, but they should, for it's the biggest change to gender differences in years.
Execute the sale, then make the announcement.

It's a very interesting visualization, but probably not understandable without quite a bit of cell biology knowledge.

The scale seems wrong in some cases, though I'm not entirely sure. The mitochondria look far too small to me. For the ER which is similarly small it is quite clear that it's only showing a tiny subsection. In other parts the scale looks pretty good. And it does manage to convey how busy cells are a bit better than many visualizations.

For the audience here it might be worth emphasizing that these are pretty close zooms on cells, you can see individual proteins here. If you imagine an image of a cell, each visualization shown here is maybe a single pixel of that full image of a cell (I'm probably off by an order of magnitude here or two).
> $40 for 35 loads of laundry detergent v. $1.00 per load

Check the numbers: this is an example of a volume anti-discount, where buying the larger size costs more per unit.

I'm not sure it's really a "caustic response to per unit pricing" or actually just yet another form of deceiving the customer who doesn't check that the larger pack isn't a worse deal.
Fascinating video that answered my question about why bother replicating 30 year old hardware. I had no idea that vintage hardware was going for such high prices.

This is becoming similar to the classic car market. I see an analogy with companies that are making car bodies that are replicas of famous historical cars. For example, there are numerous companies making body shells similar to the Porsche 356: https://www.kitcarlist.com/porsche356.html

He probably didn't know the results when he made the decision to make the trade, but he might have decided the date of the announcement based on his trade date.

The question here is: is "Let's make the announcement on Wednesday. Wait, I have a trade scheduled on Tuesday, so let's move it to Tuesday because I expect an overreaction from the market." illegal or unethical?
Or maybe he had no influence on the date and got lucky.
I've worked on a couple of d-pad only uis using QtQuick,
Including for a set top box.

Gstreamer's qmlglsink works quite well with zero copy video playback. So CPU usage sits at 5-10% for a nice UI overlaid on top of a 1080p video stream on an embedded system. There are other third-party qt wrappers for gstreamer, but we didn't feel the need for it. Some were outdated too.

https://github.com/GStreamer/gst-plugins-good/tree/master/te...

Those examples show how to do basic video playback using gstreamer.

The key navigation really isn't that difficult either: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtquick-input-focus.html

Just build your UI with a PageStack of Pages consisting of ListViews and GridViews, and that takes care of 90% of your navigation issues without you having to do anything.

For eg.

* filesystem explorer: ListView

* playback controls: GridView

Video Player Page: filesystem explorer + playback controls + video item and the page determines which item should get keyboard focus, based on certain actions/conditions.

So far, the main pain point was licensing. Some of the very useful qt quick components (like layouts for one) are licensed under LGPL v3, so you have to be careful if you're including then in your system - because then you'd have to provide a way for the user to swap out qt libraries or have to go for the commercial version.

Another pain point was CI. We had to manually build our own container with the Qt version we needed. The situation for CI improved recently i think.

Because there is no reason to think that. Evolution happens quickly enough to be observed and studied (and of course the underlying mechanisms are being studied as well), and we are doing that for a very long time now (hundreds of years - ask botanists), and so far not a single reason to think of designers has surfaced.
Parquet is awesome, but it's sad their Rust parquet crate only works on nightly rustc, which is a no-no in many cases. Not sure why they chose to go that way (well, because of trait specialization, technically speaking - which is not landing and not going to land anytime soon).
That was something else, his wife mysteriously knew that the swiss national bank binds the swiss frank to the euro..and he was the president of the national-bank.

Indeed, my first versions of Linux were running on 512 MB PC and my 8GB laptop from 2009 does just fine.
You're right. Anyway, even if it was completely discretionary selling after the announcement wouldn't be insider trading (unless he knows something bad which hasn't been disclosed yet that will make the price go down later). But the intention to sell, however is triggered, gives an incentive to put a positive spin on the announcement and profit from it (hardly unique to this case, the price of the stock didn't move that much anyway).

Good thing that's only a promise and not an oath. In the scenario where we have `f` and `g`, `f` calling `g` incorrectly and `g` violating its own oaths. Vigil will delete `f` and `g` will go without punishment forever!

Biking from The Netherlands to Liège is quite some distance, regardless whether its from Eijsden or Maastricht.

Its possible fireworks are going to be illegal this December (normally, you're allowed to fire them around New Year's Eve). Why, too much weight on health care sector already due to COVID-19.

Up till age 12 or so, parents are legally responsible for their children. So if you're 11 and use a catapult to destroy gnomes in a garden, your parents are liable.

I'm concerned about my children for a different reason. We're both nerds. We got nothing with fireworks and all that. I'm worried my children will be outcasts and get bullied, just like we both were. Additionally, for our boy I am worried about staying on the right path. Statistics show men are more likely to commit crime than women. Furthermore, women achieve better education than men, nowadays. To put it bluntly: I don't want my son to become alt-right white trash. I believe all of these concerns being normal for parents, and of all time. Being concerned or worried about your children is normal, as long as its reasonable. Its of all ages, except that women achieve better education than men; that is actually a relatively recent change.
