Sorry buddy, throw the politics out, the reality is it's not worth investing your emotions in. Especially if you are in this state. On your girl sorry man pretty shitty to do it the day after your birthday. But the reality is she is gone, women rarely come back get it in your mind that she is gone and free yourself from it. I know that is easier said than done, but the point is to get back to happy and hanging onto that is not going to get you there. Shit if you have to hire escorts every damn day until it makes the though of her fade. Seriously you need to do something to make that fade, do not hold onto hope there. Focus on your job, make it the #1 priority, ensure that you have done a good job there before you move on to other things such as browsing the web. Finally find an interest, get involved in it, and meet people with similar interests, try to avoid sitting in the house alone until you feel like you have found balance and are comfortable in your own skin sitting alone at home. As I tell everyone in this situation, my contact info is in my HN profile, you can ping me if you just need someone to talk to, sometimes strangers are the best people to talk to.
The vaccine candidates are promising.

But you don't need to be anti-vax to understand the game theory implications of neither vaccine undergoing a normal longitudinal study (waiting >1 years for side effects to develop), and both being based on new mRNA vaccine tech. Better for you and your family not to take the vaccine in the short term, and benefit from people around you taking it. I understand that is anti-social, but the logic cannot be denied if you're interested in optimising risk for you and yours.

Taking a vaccine that no trial volunteers have lived with for more than a year is a _substantial_ risk whichever way you slice it.

Exactly. It's a good sign if people develop antibodies, but that does not ensure protection. As I understand it, it is difficult to predict, in advance of actual testing, what immune response will actually be protective.
Software firewalls like what comes by default on Windows since XP and Linux since... some version around 1997 I think?
Total cars on the road divided by new car sales.

I seem to find useful pages only in German now (I am in Germany), which I expect wouldn't help you much, but statista.com and wikipedia.org has both, and if you wade through all the irrelevant graphs on statista you'll typically see that total/new is in the low teens for western countries (I checked three now, e.g. 47m/3.4m for .de, almost 14y lifetime or 7y average age).

You could ask that question the other way around. Should the bank allow people to put up a fake front for the ATM recording the customers card and PIN?

Not all problems can be solved server side. And no bank is going to come into anyones house. But they need a resonable assurance the environment the customer uses to conduct their bussines in safe and trustworthy. It's either that or no mobile customer service at all. Or everyone needs a "digital drivers licence" which I think some "IT people" I know wouldn't even pass for.

Phishing is a real threat. It might never ever happen to you. But a lot of people thought just that and got phished anyways because they where learned to trust certain signs (eg: green padlocks).
Twitter does a good job of highlighting the important posts someone makes rather than requiring I curate for myself. It also has brought to my attention the important people in the network of those I follow introducing me to insightful people I might not have otherwise known.

I prefer twitter's method to RSS feeds. I need curation with the amount of content that my list publishes.

There's much more to it than just surviving right? There's more nuances than just survival rates, and there are other related complications at play here.
My fault. Didn't know that ES2015 actually supported `.then()`. Anyway, this was also an exercise for me to learn about babel (I use CRA all the time so have no idea what is going on behind the scenes) and this was a nice intro!
Hey HN!

I created this project because I was sick of how hard it was to google for JavaScript operators; Google ignores certain characters like "?". I would remember the syntax, but not what it was called, or exactly how it worked… and it was surprisingly difficult to research!

This little tool allows users to write the syntax for a given operator, and it provides a name, a description, some examples, and a link to the MDN documentation.

I expect it to be a useful bookmark, for the next time you can't remember what the heck the "?." (Nullish Coalescing) or "??=" (Logical Nullish Assignment) operators are called :)
No other mRNA vaccines in circulation as far as I know, only research so far in using them against fly and Zika (and probably others)
The pre-touchbar macbook pros were still ok. Past that is another story.
I don't really care about the politics of it. It doesn't really effect my life. I'm slightly supporting abortion because I'm concerned about the quality of life of the mother and father.

However I am saying that the ethical logic is sound. What's the difference between killing a man versus killing the man while he's still a baby inside his mother?

That being said there are scenarios where the above logic does get seemingly absurd. At what point is it considered murder? If I use a condom, I'm basically aborting sperm, because anyone of those little guys can become a full blown human being. Is that murder?

Note that I used the word "seemingly" it seems absurd but the question is worth considering as much as abortion itself. Is using a condom murder? Is abortion murder? I don't know. But the ethical paradox is real.
Apple supports WebP and VP9 as of iOS 14. But not WebM.
> That's part of what's getting worse: Fracturing/deterioration of the use of distribution package management, instead of improving and expanding it.

Indeed, the popularity of docker, flatpak and hobby/fad distributions and language-specific package managers is leading to many security nightmares and harming traditional distributions.

There are reasons for painstakingly vet and package software:

- security

- stability AKA you don't want to force feature upgrades with new bugs on servers and workstations

- legal compliance: people are unaware of the amount of license issues in docker hub, flatpaks and most distributions
This is great news. I've been following this vaccine since February when it was created. https://www.modernatx.com/modernas-work-potential-vaccine-ag... It's a little frustrating knowing this cure was out there so long and some of the pain from pandemic could have been reduced only if we had faster testing. IMO we needed a faster pandemic vaccine protocol.

I strongly feel that the FDA should have used challenge trials where they deliberately infect healthy people with the virus after vaccinating them. The approach the FDA chose to use was maybe easier ethically for them to swallow where they just let people in experiment get sick naturally in their every day lives. Using challenge trials we would have gotten these results back weeks faster and with less error bars. Weeks with COVID-19 cost 10,000 of lives.

The FDA still has not approved this vaccine. Everyday that the FDA does not approve this vaccine after results like this is SOME blood on the hands of the FDA.
You sound like someone who listens to the trump administration and fox for their data. Its not all about the death rate.
The spectrum is extremely diverse. The are the large institutions, some of which keeping collections of national interest, and then there are the tiny local initiatives that are generally run by volunteers and enthusiast. And then there's everything in between.

There is a global non-governmental organisation that represents the museum domain and formally defines what a museum is: [1] [2]

> “A museum is a non-profit, permanent institution in the service of society and its development, open to the public, which acquires, conserves, researches, communicates and exhibits the tangible and intangible heritage of humanity and its environment for the purposes of education, study and enjoyment.”

[1] https://icom.museum/en/
[2] https://icom.museum/en/resources/standards-guidelines/museum...

This definition is also found it's way in public governance when it comes to recognizing an entity that keeps a collection as a museum, and providing matching public funding.

Of course, the term "museum" isn't a protected label. And so, while you may see many scattered museums in a lot of places, that doesn't mean that they are publicly recognized as such nor adhere to the formal definition.

> In most cases, the collectors themselves take on the costs of general preservation (we have to sign a contract explicitly stating the cases where the institutions are responsible for damage, idk how it works with larger donors)

These are indemnity contracts. This is a common practice. Since museums aren't the owners of the objects, they will want to avoid liability. This is determined by the extent to which museums are able to insure themselves against damage, theft or loss when loaning an object.

Collectors who loan out objects aren't responsible for the day to day operations - such as 'general preservation - of a museum, nor are they held to fund those operations. However, loan contracts do contain assurances and describe formal conditions trying to ensure the protection of the object during transit and on location.

Since a loaning objects always constitutes a risk, a bond of trust between museums and collectors is paramount. This is crucial role played by curators. And it's another reason why networking events are important.

> my honest opinion is that most of these places spend far more on organizing the fundraisers rather than paying for artwork and preservation

But have you also verified your opinion and actually looked into the economics of running museums? Many large museums publish their finances in great detail since they also receive a public endowment, subsidy or funding.

The Met is a great example of that:

https://www.metmuseum.org/about-the-met/policies-and-documen...

For 2019, the Met did spend some 18 million $ on promotional and special events, whereas gifts and grants ran a total of 59 million $, and admissions accounted for another 55 million $ in revenue. (admissions being a hot and contested debate in this case [3])

So you are "healthy" but on the other hand you are blind?

How do you feel about inadvertently infecting others who are at high risk from Coronavirus? That's the big factor why people are angry about anti-vaccers. They are a danger for others who cannot get vaccinated for medical reasons.
That link redirects to a file on gitlab.com, and that they don't host it was given by uberspace as part of the reason for ignoring the request.
What's the normal timeline for a new vaccine? How many years does the testing usually take?
I'm fairly convinced this is intellectual masturbation. I think two situations are being confused for one another:

a) If you travel close to the speed of light, causality goes more slowly (e.g. a clock ticks more slowly) than it does for someone who is stationary. So, two clocks will diverge. This is true, AFAIK.

b) If you travel close to the speed of light, and somebody else is stationary, they are traveling "into the future" relative to you, whereas you are "in the past" relative to them. I believe this is nonsense. But, I believe this is required for the "Andromeda Paradox" to hold. Thus, I don't think it holds. (BTW, we know that paradoxes never hold, so there must be something wrong with it.)

The solution to the Andromeda Paradox that I am proposing is to say that there is one universal ordering of events (among both observers and the Andromedans), but the two Earthling observers have different times on their clocks at the particular point in the sequence of events where the Andromedans decide to invade.

And even on the healthcare side, we will have to deal with the consequences of the lockdown. Massive backlog in hospitals, cancer screening and vaccination campaigns not happening, obesity up, psychological consequences, and also the knockdown effect of disruptions and economic crisis on treatment and vaccination campaigns in developing countries.

If you’re dying to the boars you should just be playing the first 9 min of the game on repeat against the AI. If you can’t master that after 15-30 games, then RTS are not for you :)
#6 is the whole point.

As is always the case with these fights, the fundamental fact is that the war is asymmetric. We have to be right all of the time, they have to be right once. We have to break all encryption everywhere forever, they have to find one non-backdoor'd solution.

If you really hold the backdoor proponents' feet to the fire, they'll admit that yes, this is true, but at least with a backdoor you can catch some of the terrorists/child abusers/etc, some of the time (of course, you only get the dumb ones...), and we wouldn't want to let the perfect be the enemy of the good. But of course, saying you want to compromise all privacy in the developed world to catch a few dumb traffickers doesn't get votes.
To learn about Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) I found Unifi's documentation quite helpful. It's specific for their product but most of it is applicable elsewhere.

> What are some common rules that get applied?

This is specifically answered under "Categories and Their Definitions":

> Compromised: This is a list of known compromised hosts, confirmed and updated daily as well.

> Scan: Things to detect reconnaissance and probing. Nessus, Nikto, portscanning, etc. Early warning stuff.

> SpamHaus: This ruleset takes a daily list of known spammers and spam networks as researched by Spamhaus.

> Web Apps: Rules for very specific web applications.
Will the Coronavirus Evolve to Be Less Deadly?
So how have we deemed them safe after only a few months of tests?
Does anyone know if youtube-dl accepts financial support? The prospect of losing the program made me realize how much I rely on this project.
The fact that this extremely dismissive comment can be upvoted makes me despair about ever fixing a broken healthcare system. Covid may have killed 250K in the US, but negative interactions with the medical system kill 150K year at the minimum each and every year. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/news/media/releases/study_su... This makes medical errors (which include negative effects of properly prescribed drugs) the 3rd leading cause of death in the US. More aggressive number such as Peter Gotzche's put that number even higher by including more nuanced side effects. He estimates that psychiatric drugs alone kill 500K people a year in the west. https://vimeo.com/178943789

Doctors as a general rule are very bad at listening to patients and our medical system simply does not track drug efficacy or side effects. You might be in a privilege situation to have never had to experience this, but there are millions of people who have.
As a funny side note, I cannot load https://xn--coronaprver-ngb.dk/ in Brave, which also seems to be confused by Internationalised domain names.

This is what I see:

> This server could not prove that it is xn--coronaprver-ngb.dk; its security certificate is from *.coronaprover.dk. This may be caused by a misconfiguration or an attacker intercepting your connection.

Edit: Hah! And HN is also guilty of being confused by this. My comment now says "xn-coronoprver-ngb" when viewed from the outside, but my comment field correctly says "coronaprøver" when editing the comment...
An in-app decoder would translate to pixel data. Why would you re-encode to a different format like PNG that's optimized for storage when rendering to a display?
The Russian vaccine uses an adenovirus vector. It's unlikely to work in people who were previously infected with adenovirus.
I have seen a lot of bad press about Apple these past days, and now I wonder if they are somehow targeted.

Because of all the privacy abusing big tech companies they don't seem the worse to me.

And before someone call me a fanboy, I don't own even one Apple device.
Not taking the vaccine is a substantial risk. I thinks it’s irresponsible to casually discourage people from taking vaccines.
In their self view they ensure that artists earn money for their living, thus allow artists to survive. And there is some truth to it. Finding the right balance is hard ... but in my view they "rights holder industry" is too strong indeed.
Source? I skimmed through "History of polio vaccination" [1] and didn't see anything about that.

Probably we use different Windows. Cygwin installation is simple and gives you grep, sed, ssh, any Unix utility. Windows 10 comes with complete Linux Subsystem.
If the intent was data harvesting, why the hell did they not actually send data that was useful to harvest? If they wanted to harvest data, they would have sent your Apple ID or device identifier along with the app hash.

They didn't.

Either they are just completely, blitheringly incompetent, or: They actually, truly, didn't intend to harvest any data.
I'm not an anti-vaxxer, but I'm not eager to be a guinea pig for anything that's been rushed through every approval stage. Especially since those approval stages were created in response to very real issues with vaccines that hadn't been discovered in early development and testing
I figured that since the dependencies were only used in the build step it's not really considered. That being said, I didn't know ES2015 had `.then()` and was kinda trying out babel since I always used CRA and never knew what was going on behind the scenes. The dependencies were definitely not needed but in the production build, they aren't really "unminimal"
I'm not surprised the author can't convince LinkedIn to change anything. Had a similar experience with Tinder where Paying in their web application using a danish credit card failed because their cc service returned "visadankort", which had to be changed to "visa" through the developer console for the payment to go through. Got tired of that and filed a bug. Oh the battle it took to actually convince them that an entire country is unable to pay in the web app using their de facto credit card.
Maybe they focus the "old guy" rays I give off, but so do I. I have a small collection of slide rules, all normal sized linear types, which I still am fascinated with. They're all made between the 1940s and 1960s and aren't terribly rare but the care and precision that went into their manufacture is amazing given that they weren't terribly expensive back in the day. I especially like the one's made of bamboo. Not as much precision nor speed as a calculator or computer but always remember that we got to the moon on them.
10 or 20 years ago Facebook wasn't so widespread.
Official (free) support from Microsoft is pure garbage, but at least in my experience it is much easier to get support from the Windows community than Linux for a few reasons: 1) no ideological bullshit, 2) there aren't 100 different distros, 3) the way things are done doesn't change drastically every few years.
By "expose somebody gradually to the virus" you're describing certain vaccine technologies.

Live viruses have a nasty habit of reproducing, spreading uncontrollably and killing a lot of people along the way. The people who survive do gain an immune response though.

Some virus technologies use "live-attenuated" vaccine, which are weakened (but living) versions of the virus which promote an immune response without causing illness.
No problem. I think a lot of people respond very strongly to the "mortality on young people is only 1%" data, because it can be taken as a reason not to take the virus serious.
Does not address Big Sur bypassing VPNs.
I don’t think this works either because you can’t meaningfully agree on when light was emitted from one of the clocks. The only solution should involve a single clock but then you are always measuring 2 way and not 1 way speed.
I get what you are saying and agree. However the reason these types of articles appear in the internet is because the linux desktop needs more market share. More means the ability to get better support from other organizations OR to get open source replacements of apps and drivers. Linux needs better market share to get better, so you get stuff like this posted.
I believe the torpedoes are intended as retaliation weapons. In theory they have the range of ICBMs, though can only attack coastal targets and are obviously orders of magnitude slower. They've spent a whole hell of a lot of money on these, including building the world's longest submarine (the K-329 Belgorod, which seems to be an Oscar-II given the stretch limo treatment) to carry these torpedoes. They may also be planning on creating 'silos' for these torpedoes on the floor of the Arctic Ocean.
This is a good point, when I talk about my suicide attempt I don't feel vulnerable, I feel it comes from a position of strength. Honesty does not have to come from vulnerability, it can come from a position of strength but a commitment to a moral duty to help others.

I am on YouTube a lot more than Twitch, but if he's streaming live on Twitch, I'll watch him. I have just been watching all of his back catalog of YouTube videos.
Hmm, yeah, I guess a long time ago some screens did tend to end up with the “generic plug-and-play monitor” driver and have it not know what the true resolution should be. I’d forgotten about that, not having seen it happen for at least ten years.
I am guessing the difference is that

1. You can't just take this and make money from it

2. They don't accept or expect external inputs.
My gut tells me it’s easier to sabotage something passively polling for updates vs something built into the OS that checks at each application launch, but if not, the only difference is the vulnerable window between polling intervals.

So, you may be right, may not make much difference. I don’t accept malicious data-mining intent, however.

Is the Icelandic connection somehow linked with the Basque national dish (and seeming national obsession) salted cod baked in olive oil? I went once and we were literally served it for every meal except breakfast. We visited a lot of different places and our hosts were always very proud of their particular method for making it and keen to show off their skills, but they didn't realise the last people we had been to see had the same idea. Its delicious, but it became a bit of a running joke the fourth or fifth time we had it! I really liked the Basque country, great cities and beautiful landscape.
I never suggested that it didn't exist. It's just not a simple ball-like or point-like object, more like a cloud changing its form perhaps.
