> hacker-friendly consumer electronics

Both white and black hat hackers friendly? The vast majority of consumers don't want to 'hack' their device. They just want to watch Youtube and do bank payments without getting hacked and robbed of their savings. Recently there was another case in the news where someone was phished via an insecure platform (PC).

I get that a lot of rights are taken away from us, but we should fight this with proper consumer protection laws. As it is demonstrated times again most consumers are to naive to take responsability of their security and criminals get away with it to easily.
Is this actually a problem? By the time the person travelling in the car and the stationary person synchronise their information enough to communicate won’t their frames of reference also sync up? Like if I’m moving and I see something before you, won’t you see it as well before or at the same time I can tell you I saw it?
It’s not. I can’t remember all the details but if you read the moderna cove study 95 people after a month or two gives a very high statistical confidence.

Not sure if this approach would work for CPUs with bigger instruction sets/more complex instructions, e.g. the Gameboy CPU "DAA" instruction [1] is notorious for being tricky to implement when writing a GB emulator

I guess tackling the tedious/easy to implement ones with this code generation method would be helpful, leaving the more complicated ones to be tackled manually though!

Thank you for the explanation!

I just wonder why it is hard to make a variant-type that works with everything. Well, if the language prevents e.g. reference rebinding, there can't be done much.

But not being able to put _anything_ into a variant severely limits the way it can be used for abstraction. Especially for library authors, because they might not no what their users will pass them. So when they write a generic method, that uses variants under the hood, they would have to "pass down" the restrictions to the user and tell them not to pass e.g. void. Same for the interaction of two libraries.

Or am I misunderstanding the constraints here?

I don't think it's quite as bad as that. Especially in systems that are tied to monetary value, where irrational actors are punished monetarily, you can assume that the irrational actors vanish from the system over time. Those models often come with a specific bound on how many actors need to act rational (usually 33, 50 or 66%) for it to hold up.

I'm curious though how many actors act rational in specific economic systems. Especially with cryptocurrencies I feel like the low amount of rationality might be a significant hurdle to establishing a robust economy, even if everything else is ironed out (proper use case and incentive system).

Pain can be horrible at night but get relatively better in the morning. It took me a few visits to realize my doctors didn't realize that saying it was an 8 at night didn't make it clear that I was being rocked with waves of stabbing pain, where I couldn't sleep all night, and literally couldn't move my foot, even if I tried to pick it up with both hands. But because I was coherent and calm the next morning, an 8 must have seemed like a moderate amount of pain!

Anyway, the right place to go is rheumatologist. Urgent care or ER in the meantime, but insist that you get steroids or at least colchicine if you need pain relief.

> Anecdotal, I'm 6'1. At a middle school age, I was _hounded_ into playing basketball (until they realised I had no talent whatsoever, or any inkling that I wanted to attempt to improve that). There's definitely a selection bias in who gets started playing basketball in the first place.

This has had a bigger impact than you'd imagine :-) For example quite a few tall football players have been nudged when they were kids to play basketball. But luckily some more open minded coaches let them play and found out that they were actually good. The best example is Jan Koller: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Koller

But the things is, genes do matter at a certain level. I really think you can't be an NBA player if you're 1.50 (I think that would be about 4'8). No matter how fast or resilient you are. You'll just be outmuscled, dunking will probably be almost physically impossible.

It’s been like that forever. I can remember my friends dad had a Mac in the 90s. When I asked my dad he hated Apple and Macs with a passion about. He was an EE and hated the closed operating system. He was not even close to being alone either.

It really was similar to what I hear today from a couple people who I know that refuse to use an iPhone or any apple product. The Apple hating passion from people who have never used them is very real and has been for decades.
Are you speaking from advanced knowledge? My understanding is that you still have to find a relatively stable binding site that doesn't have a high degree of similarity to human cell markers. So the mRNA technique is a great path from the identification of a binding site to a vaccine, with the difficulty of that identification not being particularly predictable.

Gout is a very misunderstood disease. I wouldn't be surprised if your PCP didn't treat it appropriately. And they may not have understood your pain level. See my other comment on a peer post.
Warp Speed funded ~$800 million in R&D and $1.5 billion for Moderna to make 100 million doses — whether it is approved or not.

Similarly, Pfizer received $1.95 billion to make 100 million doses whether it was approved or not. (EDIT: Pfizer’s agreement is an advance purchase but unlike Moderna’s it is contingent on FDA approval.)

Warp Speed provided ~$5 billion in guaranteed prepayments which meant the companies could ramp up manufacturing without waiting for approval first in order to have a large number of doses ready by the end of the year.

That’s never been done before, but the bet has certainly paid off spectacularly so far.

Novavax got $1.6 billion and GSK got $2 billion for another 100 million doses each.

Assuming all 4 companies produce highly effective vaccines, the US has prepaid for 400mm doses / 200mm courses of vaccine. This will save a lot of lives not just in the US but worldwide as well, because it shifts the manufacturing curve sooner until the point where several billion doses have been made.

> Your browser should, though

It should, in the right circumstances. By default, CORS dictates that cross-origin requests should not be allowed.

But sometimes you want that to be possible, so we have headers available to is where we can signal which domains are allowed to access the origin when on another origin.

In the case of the GitHub API, they (GitHub) are setting these headers to allow any origin to access the GitHub API from any other origin, that's why your browser doesn't throw a security error. Check out the various "access-control-*" headers the GitHub API returns as response headers when you use it.

It has nothing to do with custom domains or GitHub Pages, but all to do with CORS and associated headers. You can learn more about CORS here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS

I bought a car recently. 100% petrol. Didn't even think of EV. Why should I. It costs more. It weighs more. There is no infrastructure. It has a short range.
Also bought and new apartment recently (Germany, in a big city). There is no chargers in the underground garage, no infrastructure whatsoever.
How should I visit my family/friends, leaving far away? Plan additional 2 hours each way to charge a battery.
In this case I didn't even look at the Plugin Hybrid. Why? Above points apply. Trunk is smaller!!! Horsepower?

I'm not against it. I could consider Plugin Hybrid, if I would have charger dedicated for my parking spot.
But IMHO, governments are approaching this from the wrong angle. Instead of fining manufacturers , and increase taxes, focus on the infrastructure, and the rest will follow.
This is pretty typical. The big companies tend to invest in the little ones so that if the little one finds something good they can buy it and put the rigor of large scale manufacturing (and marketing of course) around it. If the little ones fail to find anything they can cut their losses without having the moral hit of laying people off.
Tour of Go is an introduction to the Go language. Play with Go is not intended as a replacement for that, rather it's an interactive introduction to the tooling required to program in Go. The go command is the most obvious example of that, but modules also lend themselves well to this sort of guide.

Not going to happen as long as people keep following their lead. It's in Google's interest to do things like maximize compression (especially for video and images) since it reduces their operational costs in the form of transmitting fewer bytes. Sure it benefits everyone (a bit), but while others might prioritize a bit more stability in standards, Google (and other major hosting services) value the reduced opex now. For most of the rest of us, we're well into diminishing returns on chasing the latest codec.
In Ireland there is a charity called Blood Bikes (http://bloodbikes.ie/) where people volunteer to quickly transport somewhat urgent medical supplies including blood (hence the name), test samples, medication, medical files etc. They don't do organ transport though. I presume that is still generally done by the ambulance service.
It can’t yet, but the goal is almost certainly to move past that restriction.

While I upvoted you I respectfully disagree. I have a couple of Apple laptops lying around and I tinkered with the idea of at least dual booting Linux on some of them but I was always afraid something would go wrong. Stories from people who did it just now are valuable because they tell me exactly what is working and what still needs to be done.
Maybe it's because the purpose is to make money selling ads, rather than to necessarily sell you the consume what you need?

ie these systems have multiple customers, you, and the ad or marketplace sellers, and the behaviour of serving up ads for things youve already bought is happening to milk the advertisers/marketplace sellers?

Ask HN: How do you find more people who share your interests/passions?
I gather HN is one way, and if you are anything like me, you would have many varied interests which may or may not be shared by your friends group. Before pandemic, you could go out, meet new people, and fulfill the need. Online, its more difficult. There are forums but discovery is an issue. Like I just discovered Superman the Animated series, and unless one of my friends watches it too, I cant find anyone to discuss that with. (I am a DC fan). How do you find such forums? (Superman is just an example, talking in general about varied interests)

Apologies if it breaks the rules.
Can't speak for all their models, but I've had success with HP. My work laptop is a ProBook 430 G5 and everything except for the fingerprint sensor works great. The G4 also worked well but I only tried it for a short period. I've only tried Arch, but I suppose Ubuntu should work too.

Great news. Seems better than the Pfizer vaccine, especially because transportation of the vaccine seems easier (the vaccine can be transported at a much higher temperature, -7C instead of -80C out the top of my head). Both vaccines seem to require 2 doses a couple of weeks apart which is unfortunate but workable.

But...

How long does the immunity last? We now know 6 months, but what about after that?

What are the long term side effects?

Does it prevent spreading (read: keep wearing masks after vaccination) or does it "only" prevent symptoms? If you don't get what I'm talking about: look up asymptomatic shedding. Kids do it all the time with SARS-CoV2 [0].

Answer: we don't know. Let's not rush this.

Also interesting to note: so we can develop and approve vaccines for new diseases within months? It doesn't have to take 10 years if we really want to eradicate a disease badly enough? My conclusion: we're under-funding research in microbiology. "We" as in: the entire world. In general.

I don't think I understand what's shocking about this. It's like saying that for somebody who watches a taping of a soccer match the result is not yet known, yet for somebody who watched it live it's a foregone conclusion. I don't really get what's the paradox here.

Or maybe more to the point: if you were watching a soccer game Earth from Proxima Centauri, you could only get the result about 4 years after the game took place on earth, so for you the issue is uncertain while for somebody on Earth "at the same moment" the result has been known for years. But of course then the whole concept of "at the same moment" is pretty ambiguous and fuzzy.

I don't really get what's paradoxical here.

If it's steroids, I'd recommend getting off of them as soon as you can. Making those diet changes more permanent will help. If you can't or won't do that, getting on regular allo is probably better than treating regular attacks.

> The world we live in contains fairly nasty people

With the exception of government...

> "any public chatting service owned by a for-profit company needs to keep decryptable copies of all messages on its servers or 12 months"

And how many of these services are interested in analyzing private correspondence? Some already did that of course and I am positively surprised they had that on offer, but gladly some wise users expected it.

The examples you bring forward about potential dangers aren't solved with weakening encryption. Also the believe that government wouldn't like to know what people are talking about because that is a massive advantage for political framing and campaigning. And these ambitions always win out in the end, there are numerous examples of that beyond some NSA employees spying on their "loved" ones. All these negatives should just be ignored?

> It's a laughably easy problem, the fact that terrorist attacks are as low [...]

exactly.

Have you ever heard of Hong Kong and the situation there? Are these people terrorists? Should their communications be able to surveilled by the state?

> End-to-end Encryption should be easily available for communications between any two individuals, up until considerable proof shows that this is untenable if societal cohesion is to be kept.

Disturbing social cohesion is actually a crime in many modern democracies but it doesn't get applied very often because people got more liberal with time. I can of course frame it as anything I would like. You could prosecutor people that show too much skin on twitter for example. It has fallen out of time. I think it is good that people are allowed to ruffle some feathers. Keeps life interesting.

I disagree and think this line of reasoning is mostly founded on fears.

Encryption needs further improvement and should be made available to everyone as easy as possible. TLS is a channel encryption and needs to stay but further payload encryption should be developed and become standardized.

So I would reject this alleged compromise.

> But providing encrypted channels of communication as the default servers no purpose and can be rather dangerous.

That the world is filled with nasty people was your argument, but I would let it stay here, even though I disagree.
This is ipso facto, but like all creative work, they should prefer to pay you for your work product.

And I could write a book on it here (several others have!), but I think your comment points at the heart of this entire problem, namely the disconnect between the work being done and "those who pay you."

If they were truly invested in the value fulfillment cycle, they would never ask for an estimate, they would be clear about what hill they needed to be taken next in service of the product or customer (i.e. "here's where it hurts, doctor") and then help you agree on the smallest possible experiment to take the hill.

This is actually one of the major annoyances for me in Linux. Each distro has its own package manager and set of packages. Yay, yum, apt, pacman, dpkg, portage, the list is near endless and as each package manager needs a reason to exist, each will try to be different. For simple use cases such as installing a package, this is fine. But for example, finding out how to search for available packages can take quite some time on a new distro.

And having all these different package managers require me to either have blind trust in a lot of different communities, or spend a lot of time comparing CRCs and reading code.
Germany wasn't a country before 1871. However, Germany existed as a cultural region. Austria was always considered to be a part of Germany, even the leading part. When Germany united, there were two options, the small-Germany (kleindeutsche) and large-Germany (großdeutsche) solution, the latter including either the whole Austrian empire or just the German-speaking parts in the unified country. The reason why this did not come to pass was that Bismarck and the Prussian rulers (Hohenzollern) wanted to control Germany, not share the rule with the competing Habsburh family, the rulers of Austria-Hungary.

I bought a system 76 which comes with Linux (Ubuntu or Popos). I’m using pop and things work (jet brains, bitwig, I compiled unreal engine..).

Those machines are rebranded clevos (so they say) but I know drivers will work. Build quality is decent but the machine has lasted. It’s been good and pretty much maintenance free. The os updates frequently.

My only complaint is the machine has 2 video cards and will only drive externals with the nvidia one. Switching requires a reboot. The battery life isn’t great when driving the nvidia card. Maybe the new ones fixed this (onyx pro)
