It’s gotten to a point where for some topics I don’t even regard ‘the internet’ as a realistic source for information. Which is a tragedy, because it used to be. Almost anything related to health or medical topics, or consumer electronics is so inundated with blog spam that the signal to noise ratio is just too low to be useful. So many times I find myself 1/4 the way down an ‘article’ about a topic only to realize it’s nothing but regurgitated ‘content marketing’ spam.
I figured it out. Beto O’Rourke was in Cult of the Dead Cow hahaha. He also used to be in a post-hardcore band with a dude from At the Drive-In. How awesome can one person get?!
Reverse it and add penalties & an assumption of adding reasonable doubt. E.g. cop can press button before going piss. Press it again to turn it back on.

But if they pull someone over, press the stop button that either has penalty or minimally should have mandatory 'shadow of a doubt' implications

Body cameras are not marketed to police departments as instruments that keep cops honest.

They're marketed as instruments that keep people from falsely accusing cops of crimes in court.

Cops just want body cameras that they can turn on only when they feel like they might get a raw deal, and that's exactly what they bought.

WW deaths are down because IIRC in many places that had a first wave, hospital operations are now more familiar with what to do during COVID and so it's not spiraled wildly out of control as quickly. It could still happen as this wave continues.
Yeah, I'm sure the increased suicide rate, drug overdoses, and alcohol related deaths are just childish feet kicking. They hate wearing masks so much that they kill themself instead.
Airbnb's customer service on cancelations and disputes have all been relatively fast in my experience so I imagine they invest heavily.

You don't need a degree in immunology to be very skeptical of anti-vaxxers' claims. Reading a bit of history is enough to know what happens when vaccines don't exist.
I think we can find some common ground here. For example, I find 'helicopter parents' to be very frustrating. I am closer to (but admittedly still fall short of) the "free range parent". On the whole, our society overemphasizes "zero risk" policies of which I am not a fan, especially when it comes to children. In summary, I am not a fan of the "nanny state". So perhaps you find my vehement defense of masks incongruent.

However, I have a strong sense of duty to a cause larger than myself. So when there is a tradeoff between a minor inconvenience to myself (say a vaccine or in this case a mask in public places), I tend to err on the side on a minor personal inconvenience to help out the larger whole. When it comes to matters of personal responsibility that have consequences limited to the individual engaging in the activity, I tend to say that is their choice.

I'm curious - you haven't mentioned any concern with other communal health mandates. After all, clothing mandates for private businesses aren't even all that crazy. Have you tried entering a restaurant--or indeed any business--without a shirt or shoes? (I have) You'll be politely asked to leave. Why should your freedom to wear (or not wear) clothing of your choice be infringed by the proprietors of these establishments?

BTW- I used to think that these requirements ("no shirt, no shoes, no service") were part of local health codes, but as I was researching my comment here I came across this: https://people.howstuffworks.com/where-did-shirt-shoes-requi.... I have no idea if that's true or not, but I find it even more interesting that nobody has a problem complying with that rule but when it comes to reducing the risk of a highly contagious airborne virus, wearing a face covering is suddenly a huge imposition.

More people can afford to travel when rooms in far away places can be rented for small amounts.

Maybe some areas. In Europe, Asia and Australia I have always found AirBNB more expensive than hotels which incidentally waste less of your time, have better signage and access, and can provide value-added services like multiple contactless keys, key replacement, waste disposal, laundry, holding luggage and local recommendations. Oh, and they support three sometimes-killer features: payment on arrival, cash, and pre-inspection of rooms.

> Their recent security issues with that hack were devops management and governance problems

If those are the hard business/technology management problems (and they are), then try solving those while also securing them.

Security by itself is relatively straightforward: 0days, red teaming, scanning for known vulns, etc. Just like every other aspect of the business, you hire someone to do one specific thing and you've got lots of options.

But then try to infuse security into every single aspect of a business and product, in a way that increases both velocity & quality of product dev, without sacrificing efficient organizational management. There are already a ton of inscrutable complexities between all facets of the organization and its products. Trying to add security to all that is like teaching a juggling elephant to ice skate.

So you need someone who's very good at managing security in the context of all those other problems. That's hard to find. It helps to have people who've seen problems in the same general space from a lot of different angles.

> It's interesting that Operations and support looks to be very similar in both the first 9 months of 2019 and 2020 despite having drastically different revenue numbers. They had to spend roughly the same amount (600 million) to support 30% less revenue

That's not surprising to me at all. I'm sure their support and operations teams have been working insane hours during Covid dealing with cancellations, unclear lockdown/quarantine policies, more guest/host disputes, etc.
If you were storing large amounts of data on a budget, you'd be wasting a considerable amount of money on storage and bandwidth with S3.
> I just had pasta with gorgonzola cheese

Well, some cheeses have (little to) no lactose, so maybe that's a consideration?

"In the case of Gorgonzola DOP, lactic bacteria consume lactose during the fermentation that occurs along the cheese-making process."

https://en.gorgonzola.com/the-science-column/gorgonzola-chee...

"For some people who have determined they are only lactose intolerant, cheese can be eaten. This is because lactose is primarily in the whey, not the curds. When cheese is being made (with the exception of some soft cheeses that contain whey, like ricotta) the whey (liquid) is discarded and the lactose goes with it. "

https://www.thespruceeats.com/lactose-intolerance-and-cheese...

"On every Nutrition Facts panel, you’ll find the amount of sugar in that food. If it says 0g, that means there’s no sugar… and no sugar in Cabot cheddar cheese means no lactose!"

An interesting question would also be whether Apple has added features to the hardware to improve the translation?

We know, for example, that Apple introduced a special register [1] to temporarily switch from the ARM consistency model to the TSO consistency model (Total Store Order) from x86.

Either decision (release or not release) would be seen as political; my preference would be to adopt something like France's system of complete media blackout within a couple days to a week before the election - otherwise we'll be endlessly debating whether certain things were timed in order to help one side or the other.
Here's a typical narrative that illustrates why we should be more careful about the word "lockdown":

Alex: "Sweden has successfully managed COVID19 without a lockdown."

Bob: "How did they manage that?"

Alex: "They gave their citizens a bunch of guidance on how to reduce the spread of the disease, and asked them to be responsible and most Swedes complied."

Bob: "Why can’t we do that?"

Alex: "Good question - something to do with our government or our culture?"

Bob: "Seems like our government might have burned less goodwill if it had used Sweden’s approach and we’d be in better shape going into this second wave.”

Alex: “Yeah, maybe you are right.”

Spot on! I use to work for a company that helped Yahoo on the RFC (We were in the email spam space). DKIM is not meant to prove the payload is authentic/un-tampered, merely the person sending the email was authorized to use the domains SMTP server in question. Thats it. DKIM is a one bit in preventing spam.

That dashboard is a total sham. I've had multiple users report downtime for my firebase hosted products all at the same time while the dashboard shows all green. This isn't an isolated instance. Whenever I contact support, their response is of the "works on my machine" form and they ignore the incident report.

The report from this morning is incorrect as well. We had downtime beginning 7:36AM PST. I'm completely convinced that the dashboard is approached from a marketing rather than engineering perspective (ie. they significantly under-report downtime so that potential users checking it out will not see outages).
Like many of these things, disentangling exactly what is what can be hard. If the media had ignored Y2K, I have no doubt that it would have been much worse as many companies, probably on the smaller end, weren't aware random bits of software was susceptible, weren't updated from vendors (who probably had little contact after the sale) about possible problems and updates, etc.

Sure, maybe IBM and Microsoft and the banks and Airlines would all be fine, but if a lot of small to mid-size accountancy firms all of a sudden couldn't process payroll for companies or deal with day-to-day needs of their clients, that could very quickly have gotten really had and had knock-on effects, and that's one industry.

The best case scenario for COVID-19 would have been everyone heeding the media and staying in for a few weeks early on and it petering out. Everyone would have said it was just a media fed panic then, but obviously, it's a bit more complicated in that case, because that didn't happen (or at least didn't happen enough for that outcome).
Key word is “state”. The point is that the states don’t coin money - the federal government does.

There's no reason to believe that city size really matters. Density, housing patterns, and movement patterns are what count in the rate of spread.
> It isn't "just wear masks and care about people", it's also being prevented from seeing friends and family, and not being allowed to go to work. Not everyone is fine being alone for 6+ months.

No, actually it isn't. It's not a binary thing, where it's either prevent you from seeing people or going out of the house, or zero restrictions. Sweden's choice was to go with purely voluntary restrictions. The alternative is some restrictions. Where I live, we've had a mask requirement for quite a while and basically nothing other than that, and that is indeed an alternative Sweden could have chosen.

In addition, "being prevented from seeing friends and family, and not being allowed to go to work" was to a large extent dictated by the circumstances. When some areas got to the point that they no longer had hospital capacity, they had no choice. A simple look at the correlation between restrictions and health outcomes is a textbook example of bad reasoning for an intro statistics course.
I’m not sure, but I’d expect Swedish statistics to update the same day, as we have very little if any record keeping on paper, and databases are centralised here.
Nothing worth having comes easy?

I don’t mean to belittle anyone’s hardships, the stress of failing in particular. Being a "pro" is not amateur work.

Except for the obvious extreme scenarios, if your business collapses when your laptop fails, I think you are at fault, not Apple.
Cheese is low in lactose, and gelato is too, it's mainly sugar with only a little bit of milk.

Someone I know, who is lactose intolerant, believes that frozen milk isn't as bad, I've not found any scientific evidence of this, so it's probably not true, but she thinks she is more tolerant of frozen milk products, so maybe there is some reason?
My reading of this was different. I felt that the commenter was noting how the timing information in MIDI is not restricted to the note types represented in sheet music, and can include swing and shuffle that could not be represented in that format.

If those timing variations were intentional, then I agree they represent information. If they are just sloppy playing, they are noise. And if the performer is just applying a stylistic form ("swing these bars"), then it's an inefficient encoding of the musical intent.
Absolutely this.

These companies have a weird human shield - that prosecuting individual house owners or drivers has little tin no impact on the supply (whereas it would have a huge impact on a normal commercial supply) - so the usual weapon regulatory bodies have is simply useless.
Or some kind of space-time warp drive
For a normal non-tech company, this would be considered beyond over leveraged, in fact no one would have ever lended to them at all. Granted these notes have warrants attached, I’m guessing SVB was involved, but still that’s a lot of debt service for a company with no cash flow.
>An emotionally strong deeper understanding stable person will possibly see growth, but the flipside is someone not ready/incapable/not mentally mature enough will probably get their souls crashed.

Hasn't that been true since the dawn of time? I argue that this is how we grow. I often tell friends that I believe that the growth of people and societies is proportional to the number of difficult conversations they've had, either with themselves, others, or as a society.

Educators and societies that shield ego too much produce entitled dipshits in my opinion. Those who try to protect themselves from being hurt are holding onto one end of a rubber band whose other end is stretched further by Certainty, and Certainty will certainly let it go at some point. The longer you hold on to that end of the rubber, the more painful it will be when Certainty releases its end.

>In martial arts, we always fight against a belt above as one cannot better one self being challenged by stagnant skill level.

My Judo instructor did it differently. We'd all be jogging in different directions. He'd pick one randomly. We'd form a random queue from the configuration at the moment we stopped jogging. Champion/Challenger:

0: The person who was picked is (Champion)

1: (Champion) pops someone from the queue (Challenger).

2: (Champion) fights (Challenger)

3: If (Champion) wins then (Challenger) is eliminated

4: Go to 1

5: If (Challenger) wins then (Champion) is eliminated

6: (Challenger) becomes the new (Champion)

7: Go to 1

You end up matching with people of different belts, different compositions, weights, speeds, execution, order. You're exposed to all kinds of strange and at different energy levels.

> I don't think that even if the first is true, the second is true: even the courts that hold the "nexus" position don't, AFAIK, hold that Sec. 1201 liability requires that the trafficker be already liable for contributory infringement, only that there be a connection of the trafficked circumvention measure to infringement.

Good point and important distinction- not to say that courts holding the 'nexus' position have already established Section 512 protections for Section 1201 violations, just that I could imagine a legal argument extending the position along these lines. If Section 512 protects services from liability for user-provided software that contributes to copyright infringement, it should also protect services from liability for user-provided software designed for the circumvention of technological measures protecting copyright infringement.

At the very least in the absence of further clarity, it makes sense that GitHub seems to apply section 512 law consistently across Section 1201 claims in addition to copyright infringement claims, not only to simplify their legal procedures but also to leave such a theoretical defense available to them in case they ever need it.

> Section 230 affords protections to HN - that doesn't mean HN doesn't moderate.

Sure it doesn't, I brought 230 up because you've equated the ability to post content with endorsement of that content. And again, I'm not sure where do you got this "censoring you is actually my freedom of speech" thing from.

I already posted a wikipedia article proving that in fact yes, you can legally "force speech". I'm not a lawyer, I don't know the law, but it seems to me that we have all those politicians wasting time on nonsensical stuff like trying to ban E2E encryption, so why shouldn't they for once do something useful and ensure that corporations cannot abuse their powers?
Yes, yes, but it's probably only those which are misattributed. There is no evidence that any of the other deaths are intentionally miscoded.
