Yeah, there's a mountain of evidence to suggest that, especially since China is now totally unaffected by Coronavirus (no masks, lockdowns, nothing), and the history of advocating use of biological superweapons by Chinese military strategists going back 20 years, and the long history of Zhengli Shi publicizing how proud she was of doing gain of function research on SARS, but that would be a very long copypasta.
I agree that vim makes you much more line-oriented, but I'm not sure it's always a good thing. My non-vim collaborators find it strange that my LaTeX files have each clause of a sentence in a separate line.

Well, yes. That's the difference between a tourist and an immigrant. Working requires visas. Being a legal immigrant is heavily rationed.
I meant using TOTP (app-based) two-factor authentication for securing your DNS provider and domain registrar accounts. The reason for not using SMS-based two-factor authentication is that it is not very secure https://techcrunch.com/2016/07/25/nist-declares-the-age-of-s...

I'm not aware of two-factor authentication for SMTP or IMAP.
They are currently not compatible.

You can use Citus with pg_partman for time series data: http://docs.citusdata.com/en/latest/use_cases/timeseries.htm...

pg_partman does not have all the features of TimescaleDB, but it uses the built-in partitioning primitives in PostgreSQL.
Twitter represents reality to the degree you want it to. If you only follow John Carmack you're not going to see politics.

Of course, I won't argue against your deletion of the accounts.
I'd agree with this. I'm not a data scientist but work closely with a few and the jump from the academic world to business/govt seems to have been jarring.

I think previously they'd been used to consuming data from exports and CSVs, scraping websites and plugging into APIs directly. Having to navigate (often messy) database schemas wasn't what they imagined they'd be doing!
I'm not from the US so may interpret differently, but when Trump says "Mexico sends" it has a strong implication that the government and/or the general collective people of Mexico are deliberately transporting criminals to the US.
Somebody under pressure to achieve results in one hand and a ethics code that nobody respects -till exposed- in the other. The result is always the same, big corporations end up behaving independently from the people they are composed.

Yeah I’ve seen pictures of similar things to this years ago. I seem to recall that the pictures I saw were from Japan. Is there a name for this type of construction? I tried to Google compact apartment and transform room but couldn’t find anything at a glance so I must be using the wrong terms.

It also reminds me a bit of storage lockers on rails that some libraries use, like this: https://www.southwestsolutions.com/ssg/moving-shelves-on-tra...
> (assuming there wasn't any toxicity in the relationship)

That's a big assumption. Maybe it's me, but when I look around, I see a lot of hidden tensions in people who've been together for a long time. In most cases, I'd say it borders toxicity. Relationships are tough.

IMO what predicts that people stay together is that they're capable of navigating it, it doesn't even matter if the navigation is unhealthy (i.e. like some of my family members, they'll stay together until death, but there are some painful sacrifices both parties are making).
Written from the perspective of a relatively healthy person.

You don't really need a "smart" light for it, a traditional radio-controlled "dumb" light switch is good enough for this purpose. Just press a button, and the remote control sends a RF signal at 433 MHz to switch it on or off, there's no IoT complexity like firmware updates, Linux kernel, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, an Internet connection or other nonsense. It can either be a light switch installed on the wall, or an integrated unit that comes with the LED light fixture (which may also allow you to change the color). Also, neutral wire is not a problem, some wall switches don't need it [0].

"Smart" lightbulbs are more flexible with more features, but personally I'm not a fan of them - many features with few additional benefits (with high price tags, possible bugs, and privacy concerns). Nevertheless, if you are not allowed to change any electrical wiring in the room, using "smart" lightbulbs can be a justified choice. Another genuine use may be controlling many wired-together lightbulbs on a large light fixture as separate groups without a laborious rewiring. Meanwhile I'll keep using my dumb wireless light switch.

[0] They solve the neutral problem by using an always-on high resistance in series with the "hot" wire. The lightbulbs on the light fixture completes the circuit, a tiny current starts to flow, which is harvested by the switch to power itself. Clever hack!
I have no doubt there's censorship going on, but to paint this as uniquely an issue for conservatives is what gets me about this. It's an anti-mainstream censorship if anything.

Left-wing, (not neo-liberal mind you), outlets are getting censored too, just ask The Grayzozone, Jacobin etc.

As for your average Twitter consensus, if you say i.e. Biden, even Sanders is a radical socialist then you're going to get laughed at, because it's far from true.

But as far as the reach of conservatives, #ProudBoys is trending on Twitter right now and am getting conservative YouTube recommendations about the 'culture war' on a regular basis, that's despite me not being logged in, not watching conservative channels and having history/personal recommendations etc. turned off. It just seems to be popular content right now.
> As for "over turning democracy". They see that there was a lot of odd things that seemed to happening upto and including election night.

Wow, seems like the people who voted for a candidate who said that mail-in voting was a hive of fraud for six months before an election were less likely to vote by mail, leading to a huge number of mail-in ballots being cast for the opposing candidate. Odd.

Like I'm not sure where these people were getting their news, but literally every news paper pointed out that this would happen, and it did.
if twitter is so bad, why do you keep using it?
No tech startups at least aim to make money either from the operations or from increasing the value of the business.
I tried that hard for quite some time but never managed to get a purely on-topic timeline. Follow 10 experts who post mostly about topic X and you'll constantly find at least one of them posting something different at any point.

For example you can't subscribe to grugq for political-infosec content without some IRA memes. And I don't mean that other people shouldn't post stuff they want, just that I'd like to see a filtered view of their posts most of the time. After a few iterations I gave up Twitter almost completely.

I am sure that this is a cool feature, but I am really having a hard time wrapping my head around all the technological overhead required here to avoid having to flip a switch with your elbow or hip if your hands are full. "First world problems" seems like an understatement here.

Nah, I don't need large news organizations to do anything. If you walked up to me today and gave me the latest spiel about how Kamala Harris was born in Kenya to a two-headed alligator man, I'm going to walk away.

Online it's not so easy to walk away, so I prefer that you have alligator man conversations with other alligator man enthusiasts.
Agent provocateurs are used to supress online communities just like they're used to supress physical protests.

In fact, one can do much more damage to an online community, specially if it can have anonymous users.
This. Every "smart" switch should also act/fallback as a physical analog switch any way. I don't understand why that's not the case...
Edit : plus I don't want to pull out my phone or whatever device to switch the goddam light on

I wouldn't buy a house with such a system in it, and I doubt anybody else will, either. Who wants to become an expert on these systems just to turn the lights on? Not a chance.

I considered these systems when my house was built, and am very glad I didn't get them. I turn the switch on, the lights go on, I turn it off, the lights go off. I replace a bulb now and then.

That's it! I'm very happy with it.

But what I did do was run cat5 and RG6 to every room in a star configuration, which has paid off very very nicely. I did all that work myself because the electrician didn't understand words like "crosstalk" and I didn't want to find out after I moved in that the wires in finished walls didn't work.
> editing it on a computer, and then "printing" it back out to a DNA molecule

That's kind of what Novavax claims, search for the interview with David Rubinstein on WEF. NVAX wants to print short fragments of virus's proteins, so the resulting vaccines supposed to be safer than those made by working with live viruses.
This ends up being anti-Zwave. He replaced his system with a Shelly WiFi system.

I think I would have gone for wired.
Basic editing should be easy, some times all i just need to cut some bad part and render the output. That's all

Also most of the people on hn will not be professional video editors. So we mostly want something easy to use for small editing tasks.
There are simple things you are taking for granted which many "poor kids" do not actually have.

- A quiet space that the child can use to learn
- The foundation of self-efficacy and value of learning one receives from educated role-models
- Access to the internet and the materials to engage with the coursework

You'd be lucky to find a "poor kid" who has 30 minutes of safe time, fed and quiet.

Unless you are meaning "lower middle class" as poor kid - i.e simple household with no extreme resources. In that case I do agree with you that you can do a lot with a little if you are that lucky.
I know I shouldn't, but I'm secretly a little envious of people who are starting from scratch with absolute freedom. I kind of have it all, except for total freedom. I really have nothing to complain about and my life is great.

Still, there was this time when I had nothing but a bicycle with four panniers of things for several months, wasn't sure where I'd sleep next, had to withstand cold and rain, and it was easily the singular best experience of my life. I'm not in a situation to repeat that now. Also I fear I wouldn't have the right mindset to repeat that - I've become lazy and complacent.
I have trouble parsing these sentences correctly. Are they saying 14% of the samples from September 2019 tested positive for antibodies?
I'm in the UK too, and I've found there are separate coffee shops that are focused on pedestrians vs car users. The first are your typical shops on the high street (which yes you could park near to but that's not really the focus) while the second are in motorway services or in a retail park built around a car park (what Americans would call a "strip mall"). If you're a regular user of either one then it's quite easy to imagine the other doesn't exist but actually they're both very common.

He's 85, his brother died recently, and he's very likely concerned about "legacy". According to Greenpeace, these assholes have poured $145,555,197 into groups that worked counter to climate policy changes being enacted (from 1997 to 2018). _Partisanship_ should be the least of his worries - he'll be remembered as a key figure who spurred inaction at the exact time that we should have been taking drastic action.

This is actually true (god I hate agreeing with Trump/the GOP).

Collusion was not proven, and the left-wing media went completely overboard on this.

Did Russia want Hillary Clinton to lose? Yes.

Did the Trump campaign meet with Russian operatives? Yes.

Did they collude with Russians? No, not in a legal sense.

Was the determining factor in the election Russian interference? No, it was almost certainly the NYT covering the James Comey investigation into Hillary's emails in the last week.

Mind you, if I were a Russian disinformation specialist, I would be very proud of how the American people took up my insanities (on both sides) and ran with them.
I'm not American, I'm French. Just look at how many people are asking for visa to get there
Having an identity provider service intermingled with services by the same company and not differentiating between providing the identity service and any other service is the core of this problem.

Really sad that Mozilla Persona did not make it. To me this was promising solution for 'identity provider service'.
This section of service should be heavily regulated since it hs a lot of power.

Also probably it should be paid for.
I‘m not sure whether measuring the number of guns per citizen is a valid measure. Take a look at Switzerland.

I think it goes down with many more factors applying at the same time, not just „guns“.
The difference between a modal editor and a GUI one is that in the GUI one, the commands are organized in the menu and you access this mode(the menu display mode) by clicking instead of pressing a key.

In fact, if you use shorcuts, they are the same thing.

Modal editing is not hard. I learned vim and emacs without problems. Step by step, focusing on what was the next thing useful for me and learning it after that.

Not harder than learning German or English or Chinese Mandarin. Any human languages is way more sophisticated and people learn it anyway.

There is 3.000 words (or commands) that you need to use to speak a basic language. 20.000 if you are an educated person.

Do you believe that if people in Germany speak german fluently they are trying to signal anything to others?

People learn a language because they use it. As simple as that. The more you use it, the easier it gets.
For those reading this thread whose products or ambitions are more along the "indie hacker"/bootstrapper lines, I've got a bunch of screencasts talking about my experiences over a 10 year period building and living completely from the income of a (Rails/JS) web app (Oxbridge Notes) I built as a one man show.

The screencast topics include everything from getting an MVP out, to a tour of my web app and its admin area, to SEO/Google Analytics/online marketing strategies, to some system design stuff to make maintaining the code easier.

>As for the lack of creativity you point out, I fully agree with you, GNU/Linux desktop experience feels like those guys that buy a Fiat Spider and then stick a Ferrari logo into it.

Yeah, could not put it better.

The sad thing is there are tons of things they could do to differentiate from macOS/Windows and build something better, but the only thing they do is "copying the same" + "more customization" but with lesser production values (due to less resources, more fragmentation, more customization meaning less coherence, no unified vision(s), etc).

Fucsia is the only alternative OS project (real in the sense with money and a player behind it, there are tons of academic toy OSes that ultimately wont matter), trying to do something at the 2020-level, but knowing the attencion span, lack of vision, and culture of Google it wont go anywhere, or just end up as a ho-hum replacement for Android.

There's lots of resistance, cargo cult, and ceremony, at the Linux distro level, and some things need a big player with lots of resources to push them. Canonical is not that big, and doesn't really do that well anyway (even assuming it's interested). And because Linux is mostly hardcore devs and enthusiasts, it's difficult to sell them any major change to the way things have always been.

One idea for example that sounded like a move forward is something like GoboLinux fs structure. But of course that will get ridiculed by most Linux greybeards because it's not like things have always been. Some for something like NixOS. And that's just of the FHS layer -- imagine the resistance to changes to more classic layers (e.g. the hate something like systemd still gets).

Apple can change things more easily because they can do it end to end, and millions of consumers don't expect things to stay like NextSTEP forever, or care about strict POSIX adherence), but they still get all the hate on HN for many moves.

And of course nobody appreciates the hard work of moving e.g. 500,000,000 devices or more (iOS + macOS) to a new filesystem you have developed in the span of 5 or so years - but they notice all the baby issues that pop up (while similar issues to e.g. fs changes in Linux distros, with all the fragmentation, and "DIY" go unnoticed, or pinned to the user as responsible who switched from ext4 to something else etc.).
Every forum needs human moderation, but that doesn't imply that this moderation cannot be done in good or bad faith. Just like a good judge is not congruent to a big, deterministic computer.
Likewise with the Jeffrey Epstein story.
It s still a good way to follow current events by following specific people or journalists.

Switching to chronological mode, aggressively unfollowing the rude people who think that their technical knowledge allows them to plaster their opinions on your face, and changing my location to burundi did it for me.
because moving closer doesn't increase the salary but costs more (under teh assumption the rent costs more)? Also, not everybody wants to move every year or two...
I find the approach of the cited web page very strange. Basically, it says, the longer the animal lives, the more it suffers. Throws in some arbitrary multipliers, divides by mass, and voilà.

I would not call healthy animal life as suffering. Details matter. We all have seen peaceful cows and healthy fish. What counts, IMO, is fear, stress, pain, and the way animals are dying. That's not accounted in the article.

One may argue that the number of lives taken counts too. And then eating beef or whale meat will kill fewer animals than eating chicken or insects (of we don't count what whales eat). But in my opinion eating insects would cause less suffering.

Overall I think that eating smaller animals more frequently is more natural and oppotunistic. And eating cheaper meat will reduce overall carbon and water footprint.

I've been in tech for a while, and I am very reluctant to jump in on "smart" appliances. Having said that, I have dipped my toe into things by tackling things I can fully control and maintain. I also make sure it is simple to bypass as not everyone who lives with me is interested in learning or troubleshooting issues with something like a light fixture or thermostat.

Cloud is absolutely out for privacy reasons and for the simple fact that no device should be dependent on my ISP functioning. So I keep the smart stuff to things like lamps or shades. All things that are easy to maintain and are not required to function to enjoy the home. Shades are on Z-Wave Plus and I have just 4 shades that are motorized and it's not easy to maintain. The only other thing I use is Tasmota on some cheap plugs for lamps and holiday lights. All of these devices are controlled by a web panel built on a NAS that has an easy to remember local lan address. Control via cellphone is easy so long as you are on the lan.

I just haven't been totally sold on the idea that the convenience offered by IoT devices that are locked in or require cloud services outweighs the maintenance and hassle over the long haul.
Did you mean prefixing filename with resource_ or datasource_ ?. Well i just like to keeps related things close to each other, but at the same time prefer smaller files.

Just seen it now, maybe will use them in the next iteration.

Thanks for the comment btw, this is my first post here.
Batteries for example, or you may have power from other circuits that you can tap. A light circuit with multiple switches requires comparatively complex wiring - either all switches need to connect to a central point (breaker box) or you need to have some sort of loop that passes by all switches. It’s nontrivial to retrofit. Some sort of (wireless) bus system that transmits the signal digitally can help reducing that complexity.
That's simply not true; including in the US. Libel statutes make distinctions between true and false statements, and between knowingly misleading statements and honest mistakes. Do you think truth should be irrelevant? I don't think society is stable under those conditions, but certainly that's not the law now.

There's no meaningful slippery slope here either; because the vast majority of cases don't involve anything questionably true, they clearly involve statements that have evidence or do not, and where there's doubt, the protections are generally fairly solid (this is in the news often enough too; witness how Musk's knowingly false and clearly negative "pedo guy" comment was still not ruled defamation).

What's worse is the fact that you don't need to win a defamation lawsuit to punish someone if you're much wealthier than the defendant, because too many jurisdictions let each side pay their own legal costs - such that those wanting to stifle dissent can often simply threaten legal action, even knowing full well they'd lose. The point doesn't need to be to win, the point can simply be to impose costs that are felt unevenly.
