You don't know who you're talking about. Prince Bandar is not going to become a "loose end", they'd sooner off Bush himself.

If you or I had transferred $130,000 into the accounts of two of the hijackers just before the attack, do you think we'd be roaming around freely today? This is a billionaire arms trafficker, not some pleb.
The main idea behind it is that adding 19 to a number is the same as adding 20, then subtracting one.

So, most of the time, it adds 2 to the ‘tens’ column, and subtracts 1 from the units column. Twice that -1 plus that 2 equals zero, which is divisible by 19.

When it doesn’t, it adds 1 to the tens column and 9 to the ones column. Twice that 9 plus that 1 equals 19, which also is divisible by 19.
Today, you are likely more valuable to YouTube watching ads. In the latest earnings call Alphabet CFO made the comment:

"both YouTube Music Premium and YouTube TV do have higher content acquisition costs as a percentage of revenues than YouTube ads and we are early there continuing to build out that subscriber base."

YouTube still pays out the majority of subscription revenue to publishers based on viewership but likely must also pay out more to music creators and labels. This is also not counting the costs of its original content.

The body of the loop will run |INT_MIN| + 1 times. I don't think there is a more well-accepted definition of "iteration" than that.
I've recently moved from Dropbox to Google One, with syncing being managed by Insync [0].

Ah this makes sense. I was sitting here trying to imagine a fan that is integral to the toilet itself.
Most policies aren't that clear cut. For example, if you vote for free trade, it's probably a win for your own country in the aggregate and hence a win for everybody long term, but it can have major negative impacts on individuals or even communities in the short to medium term.
Maybe. But it's also time to compete and current headlines are not working. If the public opinion is that it's far less effective then the other 2, what is happening now, you are putting the politicians in a difficult position that want to buy your vaccine. If you dig deeper you will find results for all vaccins are pretty similar. For instance even though one of the trials with Oxford vaccine had more people with Covid sypmtoms they had no severe cases, compared to one severe case with the Pfizer trial. And the total for both are too low to make definite conclusions.
In my view, that insanity is mostly based around fabricated outrage from the media. Trump's presidency has been pretty predictable. The first person fired from his inner circle may have been newsworthy, but every subsequent firing or leak or twit should have been nothing more than a byline on page 6.

So yes, I too avoid the news (and have been for over a decade). It hasn't made my life any poorer.
AMD also uses less socket types than Intel and it will be possible to upgrade CPUs easily in the future. This upgradability is also something what laptops don't offer nowadays, requiring users to buy a whole new laptop every time.
Build an E-Commerce Website with Webiny Headless CMS, Next.js, and Stripe
They would be one of an exceedingly small minority, then.
Lately it's extremely disturbing. Maybe they did it slowly, but now they are pushing it. Too many and too loud too disturbing ads.
I finally gave up and now use Vanced on phone and have adblocker on for YT.
The safety concerns cannot be resolved yet. Effective - yes. Safe? We won’t know for a while.

Pandemrix, a flu vaccine, caused a notable uptick in narcolepsy in Sweden, Finland and likely the UK. This was not (and could not) be seen in smaller trial populations.

It is not a given that any of the covid vaccines is safe enough. Historically, two cases of rushed vaccines (cutter polio and Gullah barre) were worse than the disease - and these were for diseases worse than covid. Those were 50-60 years ago. Pandemrix was 10-20. I’m not sure we’re that much better on safety now to rush vaccines.
Am I reading the article correctly that various apps from the vendors are required to properly control the devices? I guess the apps all talk to the vendor? So in the end the vendor knows what's happening in my bedroom?

No, thanks.
If you are into home automation, you should also consider "ioBroker". Lot's of adapters to connect all the different standards easily, e.g. controlling Zigbee devices from your KNX devices, adding Amazon Alexa to the show, etc. Scriptable via Javascript, but you can also use Blockly or NodeRed on the low code side. Keeping track of all your IoT sensor data can be done by integrating e.g. InfluxDB to store the values you like and then use Grafana to display any charts based upon your values as you like. There's also a web-based visualization available to show and control the status of all your IoT devices. Lot's of options and easy to use.
Do you think YouTube ad revenues could exceed Google Search? $15bn YT vs $98bn Search (2019)
> majority of westerners are convinced that when they vote, if they vote for policies that favor their own country, their own well-being, it is wrong.

Think about this for one second and it's obviously not true. A majority? Against "their own well being"?

It's a misrepresentation of the anti-majoritarianism and anti-nationalism that says that it's necessary to consider whether what you're advocating has major negative effects on other people for minor or illusory benefits to yourself.
> The problem with domain fronting was that it could be blocked by blocking the chosen "front" domain, which bad actors were often willing to do. In this new era of eSNI, they'd have to block all of CloudFlare, which would be a lot harder sell even for an entity like China.

Entity like China are willing to block entire subnets if the subnet owner doesn't coooperate and doesn't separate the traffic. That would make the subnet owner's customer nervous, thus them pushing for cooperation in the first place.

> I trust CloudFlare more than my ISP with my privacy, and if you don't, then you can pick another DoH server that you do trust.

The thing is, I don't want to pick one single DoH server. I want to use the resolver that knows the local network, i.e. exactly how DHCP works today. I would be fine if there was a way to announce DoH/DoT via DHCP[1] and all the systems and apps would respect it.

> Firefox will fall back to the local resolver for domains that fail to resolve with DoH.

Just wait until ignorant people will start screaming about "DNS leaks" -- just like they do today with VPNs.

> And what's the use case for split-horizon DNS with unmanaged clients? I've never seen that.

BYODs. There are organizations (both for and non-profit), that have external co-workers, working with their own devices, that are not managed by GPO or MDM.

>> It has privacy implications that you didn't even began to think about.

> Like what?

Centralized service, preconfigured by default, used by many people, capable of discerning browsing habits per device even behind NAT. What could possibly go wrong.

[1] Though it has really no sense in trusted networks; DHCP can announce classic 53/udp service, the resolver can use DoT/DoH for the upstream, and the client would be none the wiser. In fact, many networks do exactly this today.
When was the last time one of there big pharma companies went bankrupt, barring massive fraud?

I'd be glad to be shown some examples, otherwise it's "privatize profits, socialize losses".
I genuinely don't understand what you're trying to say. Most of the records were destroyed and we're trying to piece together the evidence. What is the "truth" that we are "not allowed" to bring up?
Yes it’s a maze.

That seems preferable to getting locked into one of the proprietary walled gardens. The markup they throw on things is insane
> “If something is actually important you’ll hear about it” basically means you have resigned to believe the corporate/government spin on everything.

No. It only means you're using your social networks (both Internet and meatspace ones) as an importance filter. It doesn't mean you have to form your worldview around the first piece of information that reaches you passively. It's about being deliberate about news consumption.

The way I follow the principle is: if I hear about something and it crosses the threshold of importance, I hit multiple different news pages simultaneously, as well as smaller communities, to ingest multiple points of view and hopefully get a relatively low-bias picture of events. But when I don't have a specific important thing to look for, I don't read the news sites at all.

BTW. I gave up on news ~14 years ago, after realizing that following news stories every evening was causing me great amounts of stress. Every day, I felt the country or the world was about to go down in flames. Well, turns out here we are, 14 years later, and nothing of such proportions ever happened.

I'm also reminded of someone on HN (can't remember the handle) who says they're reading the news every day - just not the current news, only one week's old news. Even taking it as a mental experiment is a good reminder that 90%+ of stuff on the news is utterly irrelevant and unimportant.
Because it's easy to block ads on PC, even for 50+ people. They can't push it hard there.

But there is a solution for phones aswell, YouTube Vanced.

The solution looks interesting, good work.

Website does not inspire trust as there is no mention at all about who the seller is.

Terms of use, privacy policy are also relevant, especially in this context where software gets access to all of customer's data...
Guess he never a networked guy and as bill has teased him never a programmer. But his impact beyond his limited self and beyond of limited self is what is great about him in his next stage. Otherwise we are still using a small iphone to these days. (I like that one and even get a SE for small size. But not only that.) RIP Steve. He is the greatest IT guy that does not that much in love with networking and programming.
How Kaggle GM Okoshi Takumi’s Love for Baseball Made Him a Data Scientist
Yesterday only I finally uninstalled Home assistant after 5 months because

- SD card was getting corrupt with time

- After a power cut if HA comes online before your internet then you got a problem and have to manually restart it.

- System update frequently broke the installation

- All my use case was easily migrated to node-red and I end up using it more.

So, I formatted the pi and installed ubuntu and than started a docker container for node-red and motioneye.
How Can Real Estate Photo Service Be Beneficial for Architecture?
All I hear is "I want free stuff". I'm not saying you should bleed yourself dry for them, would a couple of pounds/dollars a month (when you have paid work) to put rent-seeking ad men out of a job and to support OSS software development be so bad; would you even notice it?
To be fair, Johnson & Johnson (a US company) also made a similar pledge to AstraZeneca.

These two companies have collectively received more than $1.5 billion from the US government [1]. As I understand it, Pfizer have not taken any federal funding. They do have government purchase agreements, but they are dependent on Pfizer delivering a viable vaccine. Their partner BioNTech received German government funding:

Berlin gave the German company $445 million in an agreement in September to help accelerate the vaccine by building out manufacturing and development capacity in its home market. [2]

[1] https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/21/health/coronavirus-vaccin...

[2] https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-11-09/pfizer-va...
BioNTech developed the vaccine now mass-produced by Pfizer. For that, they received $445m from the German government. So, as a tax-paying German citizen I can say, not only will I do that, but even better, I already did.

It also feels deeply wrong to pull the "but all the research efforts that did not lead anywhere" argument, when Pfizer did not do the research in the first place. They should get compensation for organizing the huge trial, of course; that expertise was why they were on-boarded in the first place. And nobody expects them to manufacture that stuff at loss or cost. But we should not accept public money buying them goose laying golden eggs either.
Can Node-RED trigger changes to HomeKit accessories, or does it need independent control over accessories?
Any startups working on this disease?
Right, because phones with a few bits changed is equivalent to a company making an entirely different product…
Our bodies are not perfect or omniscient. We cough because it is evolutionarilly favored as a way to dislodge irritants, and viruses are evolutionarily favored to cause that coughing response strongly in order to spread. Coughing too long seems like a very possible consequence of those.
Considering the hostility that can be shown to those of the opposite tribe, especially in tech companies, are you surprised that op wouldn't challenge the higher in position director on such basis?
tech companies get rich, but then afterwards they are no longer hungry and focus on other things than the tech
Ah, yeah haha I had some doubts because I also use the word bathroom for the room where the bath (and shower) actually are (humidity is only relevant there). I see now that that is also called a bathroom, irrespective of the presence of a toilet. TIL :)
Fluff piece, I don't see an answer to the question posed in the title. It mainly discusses fertility differences between different socioeconomic classes. This had been well illustrated in the intro to the fantastic 2006 sf comedy Idiocracy.

> Pay them their costs and not one cent more.

I prefer a system where it's very worthwhile for people to risk a lot and work hard to save my life.

If it was all about altruism, I doubt a vaccine would be developed for many more years.
I grew my newsletter to 38,000 people in a year
I’m using HomeKit as my hub, and it has been frustrating dealing with all the accessories that don’t support it natively. I run Homebridge, but that depends on availability of plugins.

As long as I’m sticking with HomeKit as my hub, is there any reason to use Home Assistant, or is HA really just for people who want to use it as the hub?
Westerners claim that the vote for selfless do good things, but usually the practical consequences of what they want benefits them personally.

For example they will go to organic shop to 'save the planet' and 'be fair to third world countries', but those shops also exclude the poor and the minorities due to their pricing and thus let them keep their closed communities, while the universalist political message works against the competition from doing the same.
I'd argue that it is more accessible to everyone including developed nations. It only requires a standard technology freezer - like that you have in a residential home. COVID-19 has already cost the UK hundreds of billions, so being able to roll out a vaccine with minimum hassle and without needing specialist storage and training on its handling, is an absolutely enormous benefit.

Honestly I feel like this vaccine is going to leave the mRNA-based vaccines trailing in its wake in terms of global government adoption.
To me this title feels a bit like ... paving the way paved the way to paving the way...

Open source software paved the way to many things, not sure why we subselect this one thing. It is like saying modern agriculture paved the way to the prescription opioid epidemic.. I mean it did, but why do we care about connecting these two things?

We can also say romans paving the way paved the way to open source software paving the way to remote software development paving the way to a covid-19 vaccine to pave the way back on location development. Why would we though.
I do not know it is earlier or later. The control guy side Steve did meet Linus to adopt linux. Somehow the personality not fix. He moved to BSD. Linus is very opposite to the Mach philosophy. Hence it may go the non-Mach way. I do not think the Mach sounds like Steve level choice. But if he has a hand the simplicity is. And the choice of objective c is also amazing. Still using unix (or linux) is the choice.
How do you know that without these programs you'd be paying more than you do now?

In essence you should be paying less because these programs also cost money. Just think of all the expensive smart people that make these programs work.
Sony Walkman Hacks: Activate FM radio, increase volume and improve the sound
Incidentally one of the next recommended videos after was of my fiancée's cousin who's into studying corvids, and who has been most of my point of reference :).

You assume that to corvids, tearing the trash into two is an easier task to experiment with. It's not. Corvids, just like smarter humans, look for the easiest way to do something. Like another one of the children comments to mine says, they would rather find another way to "reuse" the trash, perhaps by finding some opening to the trash storage, or finding a nearby huge stash of trash which was not the objective, such as a landfill, or experimenting with other materials to see if they work (the reason why mechanical contraptions would barely work with magpies, etc. but would work with most other birds).
A very good summary, this resonates well with my views. Terraform survived because devops folks mostly come from non- programming background and have low expectations from a DSL. When developers look at TF, there are obvious things that glare
And in the next pandemic, be shocked - shocked, that a new vaccine takes 10 years instead of 1 to appear...

Sounds interesting, seems like they're basing this on the Signal Protocol again.
I wonder if the ease of access for this will lead it to replace Whatsapp in Europe, which would just be moving from one tech giant to the next.
Is there any chance they'll implement something in Android itself so other apps like Signal can use RCS to send messages?
Having your battery charged near 100% all days long with charger plugged in will soon degrade the battery and you may be surprised by your battery time.

Also some people prefer buying gaming laptops for better performance. The problem often is insufficient cooling, fans too noisy and ridiculously low battery time (obviously) from already-big and heavy battery pack.
> the media - and especially social media - are not directed by a uniform actor with intentions.

Well .. in some cases they are; Fox, Sky, News Corp Au. (many local newspapers in Australia), the UK Sun, Times, the WSJ, HarperCollins, and some talk radio stations are all owned by News Corp under Murdoch control and have at times been used to promote his personal politics, endorse parties, bully governments into accepting particular policies, and so on.
Is it really $10-15k each additional patient year requires or it's more of "total cost was this much, we divide it by number of patients". Where do this money go to? Fx, with these covid trials, 40000 people in pfizer trial, half a year cost would be $200-300 mln. People presumably weren't paid for this. Of course there's some work by doctors that needs to be paid for, but that can't be this large amount. Also, does this all assume USA standards of pricing? Because in rest of the world healthcare is much cheaper.

I just think big pharma are fundamentally ok with huge cost for trials and are not motivated to decrease it/make it more efficient, since they're ok with their pie being larger. They will just shift costs to healthcare system and will be happy with larger profit.
It could be possible, just unlikely enough that immunity doesn't spread fast enough.
Historically USB chargers have consumed power when connected to the wall socket, even when not connected to a phone. Some phones have even displayed an alert "Disconnect power supply from wall to save energy" when you unplugged the USB cable from the phone. Do modern USB-C chargers suffer from the same drawback and so shouldn’t be left plugged in all the time?

One gains consistency.

Various categories of content have exactly the same colour: light backgrounds and dark text and borders (or vice versa), different hues (e.g. traffic lights red, yellow and green like in the article) for specific text and box meanings.
Nothing should have an ambiguous or arbitrary colour.

For example, the HN comment editing page can get away with 3 or 4 gray shades plus some in browser UI elements because they are completely unrelated objects: main background, button background (darker than main background, needs to be just noticeably different), dark grey text (also darker than main background, needs to be legible) and dark grey arrows (not text and not buttons, and therefore not necessarily matching the text and button shades).
I've been hacking on computer for over thirty years, and maybe it's a testament to my age -- but I've got to say, there's not a lot that gets me less excited than the "internet of things".

Maybe databases.
I have played around the last few months with HA to cover my IoT-needs, and it's the only option if you want to avoid vendor lock-in and fragmented, expensive and often insecure ecosystems. It is a joy to use and everything works perfectly once you have set it up.

The setup part still requires familiarity with the terminal and some basic unix/posix tools, but having followed the project from the sidelines for some years, there has been a consistent effort to reduce the need to interact with the terminal to use HA. Every release (and they come quite often) brings more user friendly ways of interacting with your devices. Can't wait to see what they can achieve in a few years time!

For me there are no other options, my IoT ecosystem has be under my control and contained on my own network. The open nature of the project brings a host of DIY folks together and it clearly shows in how diverse and flexible the system is for those who want to customize and tinker.

I'm currently running my setup on a pi3 with a deConz dongle, which controls my IKEA lights, switches etc through the open ZigBee protocol. I have also set up IKEAs outlet switches in combination with cheap temperature sensors from China to make all my "dumb" electrical heaters smart and thermostat-driven.

With HA, the opportunities are endless for those who have the prerequisite knowledge to get up to speed with how HA works. The less technically inclined is still bound to the commercial offerings, unless they know someone who can help them set it all up.

Come to think of it, I would expect local business offering people to help set up (and maintain) secure IoT solutions based on HA. Does anyone know if this exists already? The setup can be greatly simplified if a business have a standard set of open components and default configurations ready to deploy and build upon.
Not me. All that time freed by not-commuting and all those ten minutes spent de-focusing from work have been very productive for me: I've been able to fix things around the house, clearing a 3-year backlog in just six months.

I'm now at a point where I can realistically start planning for the future again, instead of feeling weighed down by things that should have been finished already.
