Sure but it was framed, in the consumer-facing messaging, as such.

They also didn't get booted from search -- they're still always capturing/clogging the top results. Google added all their own cruft at the top, but the search results haven't changed.
Lots of recent scientific studies coming out over the past few weeks regarding vitamin d.
We did, it's called email. The phrase "like a postcard" is how email has been described for decades -- by our school systems and the media when educating the general public, in corporate training, and in the court system.
What is considered publicly available?

I suppose right clicking and selecting view source is ok, but reverse engineering a code out of a hardware chip isn't?

Because any kind of DRM basically has a key in the possession of the user. There are just different levels of difficulty to read that key.
The Leica Q2 sells for $5000 dollars - I'm guessing it's (or was until Covid hit) selling decently. There would be many who'd prefer a light medium format with fixed lens instead of the Q2 if it's under 7K or 8K. It'll blow the Q2 out of the water.
I waited ten minutes and it worked. Felt like a long time when it was sitting there blank!
If you know how, have time, don't have an opportunity cost/better things....
Haha this is fantastic. Are the IDs still coming from that single counter lambda? Or put another way, do you now have 1,750,785 lambdas in your AWS account? :)
Lenses never get cheaper. Look at micro four thirds. At the high end they don’t get lighter except for really long wide lenses. That’s because they got heavier when autofocus was added. The original manual focus Nikon 500mm f4 “only” weighs 3kg. It’s lighter than the current $12k model which shed about 2.4kg since the first autofocus version.

Plastic is easiest way to make a lens lighter and high end buyers are adverse to plastic. People buy lenses by the kilogram so to speak.
In reality, that would throw forgery of such evidence in the hands of regular people, as opposed to those politically connected, the secret services, and nation-state hacker squads. While I sympathize with your political plight, I don't really understand why you would think that is a good thing in general. For all intents and purposes, it seems even worse, leaving the ability to weaponize public opinion in the hands of those who should most fear it.
> It's obvious to you that corporations don't break laws because doing so is illegal?

No, you're over-generalizing my claim. My claim is that it's rare for large companies (with established legal counsel) to approve of illegal policy changes when those changes are very public and likely to be noticed.
It's a pretty lousy partnership, and getting more details on a business from within Maps means installing (and using) the Yelp app.

Still, if this is as obviously illegal as most people here are claiming it is, wouldn't a law firm take the case for free in exchange for a percentage of the fee Yelp will need to pay?
Thank you for the reply! I definitely learnt a lot from your comprehensive replies. Personally, I am just getting started in web development and I have traditionally written everything with the help of frameworks like ReactJS and the like and the abstractions these frameworks provide means I actually don't know the nitty gritty of how things work. Cross browser compatibility or efficiency was definitely not something I considered and they are definitely very valid considerations. And HTTP redirects via service workers sounds damn interesting! I will go read up on those now! Thank you for the comment I did learn a lot and will work these suggestions into the code base when I do have the time :')
> Do you mistrust the unsigned emails from 10+ years ago because they were sent prior to DKIM?

Yes.

> As for authenticity, you could contact him, or his correspondents?

Correspondents aren't necessarily going to tell the truth about the authenticity of their own email. And that's assuming they're alive, reachable, and willing to talk, all of which may not be the case now and will be the case with 100% certainty in the future.
even text scrolling by touch works for me. hackers keyboard on android is a godsent. also you can install it without the play store by downloading the apk directly from f-droid. works on a fire hd like a charm. combine that with floatingapps.net and you even can use it in an x-windows style.
"Standing up for developers"

No, the EFF stood up for the developers. GitHub only looked for a legal scapegoat to reverse the decision in a legally-protected way. That's not what "standing up for" means.
Just wanted to share my most recent Amazon alt. This one is for books, and I was pleasantly surprised. Especially because that's where Amazon first entered the online market.

So, if we were in a situation where a virus was 90% lethal and could spread easily, you wouldn't mind people walking around spreading it because otherwise we would be infringing on their natural rights?

The difference is we know how to make the bridge, and knew where to place it. A lot of the effort in a new bridge is work that didn't have to be done for that bridge because it was already done. No need to figure out what to do with traffic (which means no phases that must complete first). No need to dig new footings, just use the old ones. No need to do a new design - the old one was good enough.

The bridge collapsed because of a fire and there seems to be no reason to redesign bridges to resist a fire like that so a lot of effort was saved. If we decided fires were too common we wouldn't be able to replace bridges as quickly because we need to do engineering work first on a new one.
Another big factor is stomach acid. As we age, our stomach acid gets exponentially weaker. This reduces absorption of nutrients and also minimizes the ability to destroy pathogens (not related to covid, just being complete). This becomes a circular problem, as the weaker stomach ph means less B1/zinc absorbed from all sources and less ability to produce stomach acid. This is why elderly often consume digestive enzymes or ACV to assist with digestion.
The support posts are right. Bluetooth is not full-duplex when you are using it in A2DP mode (required for stereo audio).
Could you let us know which whole-system VPNs worked for you?
Other than whistleblowers and activists fighting the dictatorships (and they can work-around this), what is the case where not being able to prove who sent the email would be a good thing?
It's not just about time, but focus as well.

Other tasks might also be more critical to revenue generation.

At the end of the day, there are always going to be some issues left by the wayside so I think you really have to pick your battles.
Well again, not _really_. We were also ventilating people who didn't need it. You don't need an ICU bed if you aren't vented. Furthermore, the mortality rate of being on an ventilator is non-negligible.

I would be interested in seeing if there is data to say whether being put in the ICU actually _increased_ risk of death. Of course this would be hard to prove as only the most sick went to the ICU etc.
Then we need to heavily isolate those specific high-risk communities, while simultaneously maximizing the freedom of everyone else.
The reason I left Linux was having to spend days on incantations to make my sound card or network adapter work.

I got tired of having to figure out what codec incantations I needed to make videos play.

Much of the support was snarky "RTFM" or forum postings from 2007 about different distros.

Every couple years I try it again when people on HN insist it's better now, and within minutes there's a showstopper hardware compatibility issue or something.

I'm scheduled to try it again about a year from now.
Thank you! Definitely interested in hearing others' thoughts on the name as well.

Here was my thinking: As a solo, bootstrapped founder, I think people are interested in the person behind the product, at least at first.

I've been using my personal story and the process of building in public to grow an email list and waitlist. The HelloHailey name gives me an opportunity to re-enforce that personal story in the product messaging.

That being said, I'm not ruling out a name change when it comes time for an official launch.
I do it all the time, google’s hours are often wrong, especially during covid.

Lichess is a god-tier piece of software. Nearly every time I use it I'm surprised by some new, incredibly well-implemented feature. For example, I recently discovered that if you hover over someone's username, and they're playing a public match, a little box (an iFrame? I haven't inspected yet) appears next to your pointer with their game, updating in realtime.

I really need to take a look at the source code, I'm sure I would learn a lot.
Lobster fishing is one if the last fishing industries that is run by local fishermen and women rather than big corporate boats. They can do it that way because there’s a limit on how many licenses each fisherman can have, a limit on the number of licenses they give out, and also they throw back lobsters that are too big, too small, or have a history of being successful breeders (they notch the tail to mark those). So the fishery is sustainable. But the downside is that the licenses tend to run in families and you have to know someone to get one, so it’s not open to people coming in from out of state. You can get a special limited license to put 4 traps out as an amateur but the professionals are going to cut the lines on your traps, they hate four trappers invading their fishing territory. And if you go out raiding someone else’s lobster pots, they’re gonna shoot at you, so don’t do that!
There's a pretty strong motivation:

> Since I can’t work because I’m waiting for the replacement

There's probably a few tens of thousands of stressed out freelancers right now who can't pay their rent this month because their only machine just got bricked by the Big Sur update (which presents itself via system notifications as if it's an ordinary software update, not a major event), and they are either stuck far from any Apple service waiting for a replacement, or worse, it's out of warranty and they can't afford to buy another machine.
Providing a service to fit the definition of a unit of society is not the same as forcing endorsement of a particular point of view, and even so, there is no law requiring social media from offering fair POVs.

You're arguing for a fairness doctrine - e.g. Fox News should be forced to show the other side an equal amount of time.
It is a garbage number- 18.1% took a diagnostic test that showed they had any mental illness- with no accounting for whether they had one before. For 5.8%, they hadn't received a diagnosis before, but it was not shown whether they were undiagnosed or developed the condition as a response to the pandemic itself, rather than the infection.
Yes. The results of this pilot randomized controlled trial (the first for vitamin D and covid, as I understand it) from Spain were astounding. Patients were given vitamin D supplements during their hospital stays. Of those who received the supplements, only 1 of 50 (2%) required ICU care, while 13 of 26 (50%) of the patients who did not receive supplements required ICU care (and two died). 2% vs. 50%!

Vitamin D supplementation is a low-risk, low-cost, side-effect-free (hard to OD) intervention. I see no reason governments should not encourage vitamin D supplementation (or, better yet, actively enable it via distribution of supplements as in the UK...at least during hospital stays). If it turns out that subsequent RCTs disprove the effects (despite the mountain of retrospective studies that show correlations in vitamin D levels and covid case trajectories), what harm will have been done?

So I thought Google was already CIA for a long time. But now a CIA shill (or NSA) has to resort to a public plea to remove email authentication, so that future embarrassing email leaks, probably proving corruption and other criminal activity, can easily be plausibly denied. Wtf. Even for old emails, gmail break-ins.
They are getting more and more laughable.

What about a public plea for justice? Accountability?
How has youtube not sent a cease and desist for the name youtube-dl?

They would most definitely have a case that the name makes it appear to be a youtube product. Would a cease and desist for the name only somehow imply that google has no issue with the functionality?

Because I know not protecting your trademark can lead to dilution. And by issuing takedown notices, they are showing that they are aware of the existence of this usage of the youtube trademark.

"What are the elements here that are "just normal life for a lot(most?) people" ?"

Fishing is one of the absolute most ancient forms of tradecraft, dating back 10's of thousands of years and basically universal in the human condition.

There is a port in Nice, France, for small boats (it's a natural harbour) and a fish market there a few times a week that that has been going on, fairly uninterrupted for thousands of years. Literally you buy buy fish on the same terms as Phoenicians and Greeks before the Roman Empire.

The livelihoods surrounding most of these trades, and frankly most 'working people' is extremely common and normative, and could hardly be Romanticized by anyone but a fairly small (but growing) group of people living in modernist bubbles, almost detached from the entire history of 'common culture'.

The writing is nice, but the perspective of the alien observer, an 'outsider' to what would otherwise be be literally normative life for regular people, is almost a little eerie.
Which plugins would you recommend for Neovim input in Firefox?

I was using GhostText and enjoyed it very much. Though it stopped working for me and I could never muster the energy to properly look into it. Nowadays I tend to write longer comments in vim and then copy paste to the browser which can be a bit cumbersome.
>>And of course iOS has 0 or no viruses and malware

Wait what?? Are you serious? Please tell me you are not serious

Man are you in an Apple PR bubble if you believe that, iOS most certainly has been impacted by viruses, malware and vulnerabilities

>>That's an old fable that doesn't hold. In the 90s, when the Mac (Mac OS then, pre-OS X) had 2% to Windows 98%, it still had tons of viruses

I am not sure what you are attempting to say here? your implying Mac OS had a ton of viruses, if so I am not sure why you said "still had tons of viruses"

If you are talking about win 98 having viruses this does not refute my statement at all, as in Win98 days, as today then and now Windows was the vast majority (90+%) of computers.
Probably not - I literally don't remember a single one.

Also, I think Coca-Cola is completely disgusting and you'd have to pay me quite a lot of money for me to agree to ingest the stuff, so maybe I'm not a very typical consumer. The fact that I know it's literally a poison to my body, in most plain sense (and probably yours too) doesn't help either :)
Wonder if that will be enough to make them consider switching away from Apple? Silly question!
> 82.5 % of participants in the Intervention group survived COVID-19, compared to only 44.4 % in the Comparator group

So the intervention with vitamin D3 slashes the death rate from 55.6% to 17.5%, that's by a factor of over 3, or simply put three times less dead people.
20 years ago, some people could work from home at least some of the time; I did personally (for pretty much the first time). There was fairly decent broadband availability, etc. But just barely. Go back just another 5 years and it gets much harder.

>but all online gives you is some time

And a lot more types of goods available. Again, 25 years ago, it would not have been practical for people to have wholesale pivoted a huge amount of shopping online. (And companies like B&H Photo couldn't have scaled.)

20 years is probably just about the cusp of it barely being possible.
I'm talking about the next 10 years, people are so focused on 2020 that they don't see the big picture, that the economy is getting worse every year, and it effects everybody, even people who have wealth...we're all connected.
The study says:

>Bolus vitamin D3 supplementation during or just before COVID-19 was associated with better survival rate in frail elderly.

That's rather close to the headline.
> User-facing web apps just aren’t a core application target for most people who use Ocaml, and probably won’t ever be.

I wouldn't be so sure. The way that the ReasonML and ReScript communities have been attracting frontend developers, webapps may already be the single biggest target platform for OCaml (well, a derivative) today.
We haven't tried hard enough my dude. If you trust the Eastern European governments to do (or to have done) an honest attempt at integrating gypsies, I think you're very naive.

As a piece of anecdata that I have, a very close friend that was doing a master's degree at the Sociology University in Bucharest mentioned that the literacy in gypsy communities was raised in the early years of the 2000nds due to the "Cornul si Laptele" program. The program that most of the country derided. Poor families started to send their children to school instead of keeping them home because they received a modicum of food and lessened the burden on their parents.
I have a prototype solution to #20 and provided some runway it could, after validation by research, solve for #2. I am working a prototype distributed OS that (partially) executes in the browser. The prototype is far enough along that I can qualify some of my initial goals and assumptions.

But then those questions are for undergrads. I am just an old dumb soldier with my undergrad days long behind me.
Hm... There were more informative replies on the Apple support thread a bit ago... they got deleted?
If they can't afford another machine, then not until the current one stops working. Ironically!

But for a lot of developers, their work literally can only be done on on Apple devices. You can't develop iOS and Mac apps on anything else.

There are a lot of people for whom that is their job, including freelancers.

They could switch to a new domain of business, but that's a large change with many disadvantages. It's not like picking a different laptop just because you fancy a change. E.g. for an iOS developer to switch to being an Android developer, it's not hard to start but there's a lot to learn to be good at it to the same level and bring in the same money.
When I started using Unix in '85 or so I didn't find it especially user friendly so the first program I wrote was a little trampoline alternative to the login shell (/bin/sh in those days) that exec'd emacs as the terminal's controlling process. At least that way I could be an a more familiar environment.

My emacs init checked argv[0] -- if the name started with '-' then it asked if I intended to log out before exiting.

That was on the original GNU machine -- yes, when the FSF's entire computing resource was an unused VAX 750 that nobody wanted and that had been purchased and installed by someone unknown for reasons also unknown and was just taking up space in a small machine room.
Since we're on HN, and this isn't addressed in either FAQ: did anyone end up paying for custom codes?
1-2 hours of training per day is incredibly low for a professional athlete. Professional cyclists are on the bike for over half the day, and there is even more work to be done on active recovery and strength training. Even runners, who are more limited by their body than nearly any other sport, spend 15+ hours a week just on running. It's a full time job.
I would imagine the security protocols of freeports like Geneva or Singapore make it pretty hard to fake any theft; and artworks valuable enough to be stored in places like that are usually insured, so you'd have the insurance investigator to deal with.

Claiming it's in storage while it's actually not: that might work, especially if it's something small and you can smuggle in a copy.
It's a 100% reproducible, mentally unchallenging, revenue impacting bug, which is frankly a rare combination. There is no excuse in not fixing it, unless you imply the thousands of Tinder devs are in core meltdown situation all the time.
> Why should the Thai place have to PAY for people that declined to order?

They don’t, unless they agreed to those terms with the entity charging them. For example, if the agreement was to pay Yelp for all phone calls coming from Yelp’s website.

TLDR: The U.S. Military is buying user location data harvested from a Muslim prayer app that has been downloaded by 98 million people around the world, is using this type of data for "counterterrorism".

As a Muslim i feel like i have been violated. I have this app and like how much more insidious can data surveillance get. Especially using it for counter-terrorism purposes. I am not one to get easily offended but this definitely does pull a few strings.

Also makes me want to start reading Terms and conditions, probably should have in this instance.
Can Americans transfer assets to the UK without realizing gains in order to take advantage of this?

False.

At this writing, Europe as a whole has a population of 747.8 million, and 14.1 million COVID-19 cases, for a population-adjusted rate of 18,900 per million.

For mortality, EU: 434/1M US: 760/1M.

Holy shit that's a lot of vitamin D
When an angry mob goes after suspected homosexuals, do you think they stop to authenticate DKIM signatures of emails? I'll give you a hint: no. In fact, it's hard to imagine any scenario where anybody goes through the trouble of authenticating e-mails of a "normal person" who is persecuted of something other than crimes.
Estimating the odds ratio is basically impossible with these data. The control group has just nine participants; you can get statistical significance with that (and they did) but the 95% CI gives you an OR of anywhere from 0.03-0.48 which is pretty much useless.
