There's also demand for the things that shouldn't need to be profitable, to be profitable. I saw a news article like a week ago making a HUGE STINK about how a bridge was "losing tons of money" when they looked at the bridge toll vs the expenses. A.. publicly owned bridge, of course! And they made it sound scandalous.

Like seriously. What? It's like people talking about how unprofitable public transit is.....

That's not really the point, is it?

yeah, the horrible built-in search doesn't help either, and it seems that recently a lot of users have gone back and deleted all their posts. it's not uncommon that I find a five year old thread that would have answered my question if it were not for the fact that half of the posts are deleted.

on the flip side, the wiki sections of hobbyist subreddits can be invaluable for relatively static information (ie, not topics like smartphones where recommendations go stale every few months).
I disagree that it is like it is paying for the food. If I had youtube premium and my entire $10 went to only the creators of the videos I watched using some egalitarian algorithm, then I would be into it. However, it is actually more like Spotify where some portion of my $10 (lets say $7, even though it is probably lower) gets put into a large pool and then distributed among all content creators on the site along with everyone else's premium money.

I have a patreon which I budget $20/mo to actually pay the creators that I care about. Don't kid yourself into thinking your YT premium money is going anywhere except unboxing videos and Minecraft screaming videos and the like.
I think I agree with you, but it's interesting because you're actually making two points which are kind of the opposite of each other— on the one hand arguing that it's hard to pay the 30% before costs are recouped, but then also arguing that it's unfair to pay the 30% in perpetuity long after Apple's fixed costs (review, etc) have been recouped.

I think if anything this kind of thing makes the case for explicitly having multiple tracks— maybe an enterprise one where you pay a 5-7 figure fixed annual fee (for support, timely review, policing of the store for phishing/knockoff apps that target your own, ensuring a direct hit for explicit searches) and then either a single-digit percentage of revenue or for free "portal" apps, some other way that Apple is compensated for user engagement. And then a totally separate indie track where all the revenue is yours up to X, after which some kind of sliding scale kicks in.

In reality, there are almost certainly enterprise deals going on behind the scenes (or at least mostly behind the scenes, cough Epic) and the details of those are almost certainly very proprietary, due to how the negotiations would occur. But having at least one option for which the details are public would be nice.
Could this characteristic be mitigated by arranging the telescopes in a random pattern rather than using simple, regular pattern like the VLA follows? That seems like it might be what's going on with the UV coverage diagrams being demonstrated at the bottom of page 3 in this paper about the ATA: https://www.seti.org/sites/default/files/ATA-memo-series/mem...
There's no one way to estimate it, so any such tool is just going to turn into a reflection of the assumptions used to create it.

Setting aside the probability that someone could be asymptomatic and contagious after a negative test (which actually seems to be fairly low), you'd need to know the false-negative characteristics of the different tests that were used. Unfortunately, people seem to be far more concerned with the former risk than the latter -- they assume that their tests are infallible (wrong), but that the risk of asymptomatic transmission is relatively high (also wrong).

Ok but I fear that my point is getting missed here a bit. It's not that the GP comment was wrong. It's that it was generic, and specifically generic-ideological. When a comment takes a thread further in that direction, that's bad for HN, irrespective of how right some people feel it is.

Newly minted undergrads going into finance often get their Series 7 or 63 during training.

As someone else wrote in this thread, US funding of these types of projects has gone up not down.

This is simply a decision on which kind of projects to fund not a reduction in science as a whole.
In addition to that, Thanksgiving often requires traveling to another area (which is what the headline is specifically about). You also don't need to attend Thanksgiving, but you do need to work. We are probably going to have vaccines for everyone by summer or possibly as early as April, with those who are at risk getting vaccinated by next month. It would be extra unfortunate to die right now when a vaccine is right around the bend.
> Apple did eventually pull the original Rosetta, so who knows how long they will keep the feature, but in the short term I can't imagine it being a problem.

The original Rosetta was only useful for legacy Mac software though; this one will continue to be useful for new x86 software that gets written. I think it will last a lot longer.
Google already did that for at least a year in 3rd world countries.
Spending a small amount of time around an infected person where you're both wearing masks is much less likely to spread the disease than sharing an enclosed space for an extended period of time with no masks.

> the government for being unwilling to pay people to stay home

The difficulty here is that there are some truly essential services, and there are some businesses that will die if not attended to, and we can't simply just let that all fall apart or people will starve. The government does actually have to grapple with questions like that, and even the best government will necessarily accept medical deaths to prevent a larger number of starvation deaths in the short term, or mass poverty in the long term.

The trick is adequately figuring out what is an 'essential service'. Really, it's more like figuring out what's inessential....

I'm lucky enough to be a Canadian and the CERB benefit has helped family members and friends who work in inessential industries like tourism that have been hurt badly by this. I support programs to help with that so those folks don't become poor. But no amount of money is going to let us close grocery stores, at least not without some other food logistics system in place.

I don't assume such people don't exist. But I'm not buying there are enough people to significantly alter overall student test results. There'd have to be a couple in every class, and I've never encountered one.

At work you might be in a large space, you probably don't have long contact with any one person (when contact tracing it seems they ask who you've been in contact with for >15 minutes, not sure if they're still doing that), and you're wearing a mask. None of that might be true for a family gathering.
Apple's advantage is in the virtuous cycle of big demand and big market for their products. And now they have built up the talent, the process, to build different chips and chips that are very large. M1 is not a small chip, it's complexity is comparable if not more than intel or amd or Nvidia's chips. They also established a sustainable relationship with tsmc. I am sure tsmc have exclusive or volume contracts for apple to be the first adopter to their most dense node. Tsmc allocates a lot more of waffer capacity to apple than other designers. The marginal cost for apple to design and build a large version of m1 is pretty cheap.
One might argue there is no safe method in this case. There are enough stories of people who did as much as they thought they could and still ended up infected. Can't really be compared to condoms for example, which have a fraction of a fraction of a chance to break.

> before committing to a piece of technology, it’s crucial to understand the problems it solves, and the context in which the solution was made.

On the other hand, I think the title is doing it a huge disservice. Because, unfortunately, a lot of people don't read beyond the title, and that only helps to perpetuate the anti-k8s/Istio/devops sentiment that has become so popular and pervasive lately.

Are there a lot of situations where a service mesh complicates things and causes more problems than it's worth? Absolutely. Are there a lot of situations where a service mesh will really help? Without a doubt. Should you use it when you build your personal niche side-project? Probably not. But maybe a goal of your side project is to learn Istio - in which case, you totally should use it.

I don't think you need to. Node is essentially a way to run Javascript from the command line. iOS provides a different way to run javascript. I think you just build the app similar to the way you bundle something for the web.

> However, it is not possible to say since this class of professional certifications is not delineated.

Yes, it is quite specifically. The new rule also sets out standards (which would very much not seem to be likely to ever admit certification in dentistry) and a process for subsequent rulemaking to update the set of certifications, but any problem with certifications later adopted would be an issue with those actions, not the immediate action.

The initial set is "the General Securities Representative license (Series 7), the Private
Securities Offerings Representative license (Series 82), and the Licensed Investment Adviser Representative (Series 65)". [https://www.sec.gov/rules/final/2020/33-10824.pdf, bottom of p. 28]
Which shows how uncoordinated this all is. A ton of schools where planning since August to go remote only after thanksgiving as they have no way of stopping students from visiting on thanksgiving but having them all come back afterwords is unthinkable. Therefore the only solution is to force them to leave completely at thanksgiving.

Every institution is enacting policies that make the sense for themselves but together are not great at actually stopping the pandemic.
I would not have guessed the scale. The article says the instrument platform weighs 900 tons, which is amazing to imagine. At first, I wondered if they could use a helicopter to bring it down safely, but it's like two or three 747s on a tight rope.
Why the down-vote? It seems related to the other comments, and I do not see why I must care about the author of the software or their views. If ReiserFS was good (for my use cases), I would use it, although in that case I know some about the author, but only because it was quite the news around some circles.
This is refreshing to see competition actually deliver better products instead of just cutting costs.

The technical innovation has only marginal value for me and I would love the same soc on a rpi like device, for home servers. Time will tell.

Now, as a Linux guy, I’ll just wait until innovation turns commodity, having no interest in macOS whatsoever.
I'm sure some employees of such funds would like the option to invest a portion of their capital in their employer's fund/s.

That they've chosen to work for that employer vs others implies they already think it's a good bet and worthy of investment, but not necessarily that they're going to put all of their funds into it.

If they treat it as just another diversification option, shouldn't be a major problem.

Why don't we have cheap/free, widespread, rapid home testing yet? We've known about Covid-19 for almost a year!

Then people could just test themselves before traveling or going to indoor gatherings. They could also be used at airports, etc.
Little known secret --- there is very little "intelligence" in current AI.
You can improve UV coverage a bit but removing redundant duplicate baselines. Which is what pseudo-random patterns do. And these are used e.g. by Lofar. But the problem of lacking very small baselines to fill in very large scales on the sky remains. Interferometer are simply not very good for imaging extended objects. And of course the other thing is that you might have less reflective area in total and thus lower sensitivity for dim things.
Your interaction with an infected customer is probably less than 5 minutes--and you are probably both wearing masks.

Your interaction with an infected family member is hours in a close setting with poor ventilation without masks.

See:
"56 coronavirus cases were linked to a Starbucks in South Korea. But employees who were wearing masks didn't get infected."

The integration in iOS is a bit different. With e.g. Apollo installed, you need to "Share" the Reddit page from Safari with the "Open in Apollo" target and it'll open in Apollo.
That's awesome! I also run a self-hosted mattermost. Do you use the EE or CE?

Because you seem to care about this kind of stuff, note that at least the CE (and presumably also the EE) versions of Mattermost have phone-home to segment.io embedded in the server, which can be disabled with the undocumented and exceedingly misleadingly-named 'MM_LOGSETTINGS_ENABLEDIAGNOSTICS=false' var in the env. It's part of the growing trend of free software spyware being developed by small groups of isolated people in for-profit enterprises.

The other phone home it does is to check for a version's security alerts, which you may want, but is still assume-consent-and-dont-bother-to-ask phone-home and can be disabled with the similarly undocumented 'MM_SERVICESETTINGS_ENABLESECURITYFIXALERT=false'.

I made a Dockerfile that actually patches out the spying in the binary using sed, rather than figure out how to rebuild it without it or trust that the env vars work. See: https://github.com/caprover/one-click-apps/blob/master/publi...
I should have been clearer (I sort of assume what everyone here wants to know is whether startups can essentially promote their stock on HN), but it's not any employee --- it's director-level management and those employees that are actually responsible for the investment activities of the fund.

Yes. Near me at least in Oakland CA there are several providers that offer no-appointment, no-referral covid testing.
If they didn't show ads I doubt they would have cared as much about time shifting and ad skipping would never have been relevant. Sure would have helped them avoid collapsing.

Let's not pretend they weren't incredibly hostile to watching shows you're paying for already, when you want to and without the ads you paid to avoid, even though they didn't need to even build any infrastructure for it.

Add the rest of their anti-customer policies like bundling channels and it seems clear that their campaign to get rid of all their cable customers simply succeeded.
That's very similar to my plans for the entire holiday season -- I live across the country from my family, so my girlfriend and I (who work remotely) are just driving quite a few hours and staying with family for the entire Thanksgiving -> Christmas season. We've been quarantining at home for over two weeks now, so as long as we're highly cautious on the drive when we have to stop at gas stations I think it'll be OK.

As long as you can avoid risky situations the rest of the time, there shouldn't be a problem doing the holidays with family. The trouble is that even going to the grocery store counts as "risky" in my book, so you need to plan well in advance.
It may seem that way. But they are talking to the populace as a whole, not just people who work customer-facing jobs.

And who is "blaming working people"?

The article said that they determined that if two cables broke already it means the other cables are not strong enough either.

Which means replacement is the only option and apparently they decided there's no way to replace it without dismantling it.

Large, well-ventilated space vs close poorly-ventilated space.

Not sharing food vs sharing food.

Not yelling at each other vs yelling at each other.

Everyone wearing a mask vs not wearing masks.

There are some important differences between workplaces and dinner tables.
A gathering of many people from diverse areas in an inadequately ventilated home is a bad idea. If you imagine transmission rates as a punch of particles bumping around with a chance of infecting nearby nodes that haven't been previously infected, run the additional mental model where you decide to first randomize every node's position.
Towards ML Engineering: A Brief History of TensorFlow Extended
For years I've been mystified how certain people who make bad software engineering decisions over and over --but do so quickly and with commitment-- rise up in the leadership ranks. I'm talking about people who join projects like a hurricane, don't pull in all the relevant data before making a technical call, and their work /always/ has to be replaced or cleaned up 6 months later.

I finally realized that there's usually not a "perfect" engineering solution, and you can spend weeks or months going back and forth on a plan. So the people that just plow ahead --even if not great-- wind up delivering "something", which is better than nothing. And put another way, they land 2 failures and one moderate success in the same amount of time the rest of us are busy landing our one single success... which also winds up being only a moderate success at best because writing good software systems is hard!

With the pandemic I completely stopped following the details of the aviation and airline industries (a combo of not flying and impact to my family working there.) In normal times, many tickets would be changeable with a hefty change fee. Has the industry switched to even more restrictive "use it or lose it" fares?

Alternatively people just want to be very fucking good at their job and there is an exec or a contract lawyer doing this as a way of being better than other execs or contract lawyers at the company. Add to that the fact that the main purpose of any large organization (and organism) is to survive and perpetuate itself and you get this. The shareholders and heck even the CEO don't need to be in on this or even care.

I think it's the U.S. I remember it thinking that statistic means that it is especially bad for people to use the challenge question of "What city were you born in?" If you know anything about the individual, you can probably just guess where they live now and be correct.
I think it's not just about the "first-order "risk of infection itself. It's also the fact that a disease is a graph phenomenon, and gatherings will connect parts of the graph that are normally separate. This means that infections will lead to more than average amounts of secondary, tertiary infections.

But on the other hand this may not matter as much anymore since we are in a late stage of the epidemic, and the disease is everywhere already.

Also I don't mean to dissuade anyone from attending with this.

It's the tradeoff between local computing power and bandwidth/latency. It flips back and forth every couple decades based on what's expensive and what the last big advance was.

Even within the current era, render on server, render on client, ajax (the mix), etc.

We're seeing it now in gaming. Vidcards are the cost of a whole system now, games have become huge, and fast storage is still expensive; but bandwidth is increasing along with A/V streaming being perfected, so someone figured out how to minimize apparent control latency and now games are streaming. Once vidcards get cheap and SSD storage capacities catch up to 150GB games it'll flip back until the balance tips again.
