I've never been a huge news guy. The day the election was over I quit reddit. I don't miss it at all. I use twitter and hackernews. That is it. I've saved so much time over the last few weeks.
In both of your uses of “loose” the correct word is “lose”!
The PCR thresholds are chosen to minimize false negatives, not false positives. A sample that required 30+ replication cycles is unlikely to come from a person that is infected/infectious, yet it would be counted as "positive". The thresholds are derived from experiments under lab conditions, providing a safe lower bound.

That does put into question the validity of counting PCR test positives as a benchmark of viral load among the population, but as a safety measure for potentially infected individuals, the trade-off is worthwhile.
This does highlight how tough it can be for a non-tech entity, especially one run by non-tech volunteers, to play in tech spaces.
The "Show Labels" on the color options is a nice touch. I am colorblind and was clicking on purple instead of blue, etc., until I saw that feature. In fact, since this is targeted towards men, who are colorblind more than women (a quick google shows 1 in 12 men vs 1 in 200 females), it could be really helpful.
Founder of Home Assistant here. Let me know if anyone has any questions.

Glad to see Troy likes it as much as we like creating it!

If you haven't heard about it, next month is the Home Assistant Conference[1] where we will have three tracks: everyone, advanced users and developers. Each filled with great talks and of course some exciting announcements!

Some people don't understand what they're doing when they release open-source code with a permissive license. This results in expecting more than what the chosen license demands.

It cuts both ways; some users expect more support than promised.
From my experience it’s more favourable to startups. The investor regulations are good so there’s a decent amount of capital, and the English language makes it easier for talented employees to immigrate to the UK.

The existing financial hub in London makes a great environment for fintechs in particular.
A little surprised Swift and Kotlin aren’t mentioned. Both expressly support FP and OOP approaches (although some of Swift’s FP-enabling features like protocols look more familiar in OOP contexts, similar to the common misconception that TypeScript is primarily designed for OOP).

Buying a massive ad slate on Facebook doesn't give you direct control but does give you a lot of say in their policies because keeping you happy becomes tied to their bottom line.

Compare YouTube policy adjustments in light of P&G announcing they were planning to yank their advertising from the platform because it wouldn't rope in what P&G considered to be its worst content.
This is one of the things that has bothered me the most about Home Assistant. When devices get added suing the web interface, why are they not added into the same YAML configuration that you add devices to manually? Or even if not in the same file, a different file in the same location?

I sleep better on flying planes than on the ground. It's possibly the humming and the calming effect induced on me. Somehow I think this is a learned experience but I may be wrong. I just imposed on myself to be relaxed as I used to be very anxious and tense when I was flying. A few times of trying this and now I fall asleep as soon as the plane takes off and many times I skip the meals offered on the plane altogether because I'm deeply asleep. I somehow associated the experience of flying with something very relaxing that my such that body anticipates the flight, I already start yawning when I'm boarding the plane.
I'm not accepting the numbers. I'm accepting the "hospitals are not overrun" observation, which is very hard to cover-up. I happen to know someone working in a Beijing hospital and it is not overrun. How else would you explain that except to say that there is minimal community transmission? The only other possibility is a country-wide refusal to hospitalize patients, which seems equally difficult to cover-up. Otherwise the cover-up could only ever be briefly temporary until the spread was rampant again.
Can you give a bit more info or pointers about changes in Germany?

That previous section doesn't alter the context and doesn't change the fact that nothing I or the author or any other player does in a game like this leads to a single death, let alone millions.

If the author is uncomfortable taking on the role of a "German general goose-stepping and kowtowing to his Führer" then he should feel equally uncomfortable acting as a Soviet general goose-stepping for a dictator who imprisoned, tortured and starved millions of his own citizens. Or for that matter the U.S. or Britain. Forget anything based on ancient Greece or Rome as well. Might as well stick to Farmville or Mario Kart if you're going to continue down that road.

"Further, I think it is unwise to brush aside any argument that the nature of the media we consume does not affect how we interact with the real world without consideration. Just because it turns out that old 90s arguments about DOOM turning us all into violent murderers was wrong doesn't mean that there aren't effects that might be harmful."

I did not brush it aside, I read the entire rambling article, most of which had very little to do with any potential harmful effects and gave it a lot more consideration than it truly deserved. It was in no way compelling, nor did it contain any real insights. I stand by my earlier statement, he is really overthinking this.
The Atlantic Council and NATO for a start.
The knowledge that the switch to closing the system is there has a decidedly chilling effect, Apple doesn't even need to flick it. But if you buy a ARM-Mac, you should know that it could be turned into a sealed iDevice any time.

That said, the M1 is one damned good chip. And the Macbooks are hands down the laptops with the best feel and build quality.
my comment is obviously tongue in cheek. I'm leading the conclusion of OP ad absurdum. maybe I expect too much from the HN crowd.

Google bought it for $3.2 billion and I doubt it's worth even that much today, certainly not 100x that much like YouTube. It was rumored that Alphabet tried to sell it in 2016 and couldn't find a buyer.
Then you have an issue when you're in an area without good network coverage.
I've spent some time in a VIP lounge once (it may have been for a train ride to Paris for which the first class ticket was just as expensive as a regular one), came on time on purpose just to sit there for a change :p. It was quiet, empty, you got offered a drink, etc. If it was a long layover, sleeping was likely an option, and with the attendant there you could ask them to wake you up if there was an issue with the flight. But, theoreticals; flying first class is 3-6x as expensive and I'm not convinced it's worth it.
Yes, that's what the poster just above said to me as well. I'm not disputing that, but there thousands and thousands of Catholic churches but only one Pantheon.
Until you can assign the people you disagree with to the gas chambers, it’s not a solution. They are still there, still voting, etc.

What a fucking nightmare. Why would anyone spend his time messing with this stuff? Just use physical light switches to control the lights, RF transmitters and wall buttons to control the garage door, and get on with your life.
You can't measure long-term immunity on a virus that's only been in the wild for ~11 months. That said, all the recent studies I've seen show no signs that immunity is going to drop significantly after a year.

I see. I wasn't aware of this problem. I never fully read the differences about licenses, but again I never released anything. That was informative, thanks.

If it's a problem domain that needs more exploration, there's nothing wrong with forging ahead. If nobody ever did that we'd still be using COBOL.
Have you thought about adding CLI support to the roadmap? If you were to add that it would be an instant buy for me, as well as many other admins, I'm sure.

Great product though! Always happy to see projects like this
Labour market and taxation are more flexible over here than on the continent. Also London was/is basically the financial capital of Europe, and the easiest destination for young talent for cultural reasons (it's easier for developers to learn English to a passable level than German, French, or less popular languages, when most of the ecosystem is built in and around English).

This said, Berlin started later than London but, from what I hear, got much hotter in the last 5/10 years, so there might be some rebalancing in progress.
Setting up Kubernetes is a fixed cost in the beginning with clear payoffs. Things like microk8s, Rancher or GKE/EKS make it a lot easier to set up than it used to be. Deploying your app is then just a simple Helm chart, or another way of getting deployments out. If I was running any kind of business that was making more than zero dollars I would absolutely go with Kubernetes. I don't think it's as complicated as people think at any rate, and it lets you use premade Helm charts which can simplify the deployment of things like Clickhouse.
It did cross my mind. However, a problem with that approach is that evaluating such a formula is too costly/inaccurate on a small FPGA like this, which just has 8 DSPs (that can only do 16x16 bit multiplication), and some of these are already in use in other parts of the design.
An interesting factor often overlooked in both the vegan and vegetarian community is bioavailability. So despite soy, greens and legumes being rich in calcium, the calcium might not be available for the body to use.
I don't think they have political connections but a lot of head weight for sure.
PSA: Triplebyte is making profiles public again
Got this email a few hours ago:

> It’s been 6 months since you found the opportunity that’s right for for you on our platform. We hope things are going great!

> We wanted to let you know that your profile is no longer hidden from companies on Triplebyte. Companies will be able to view your profile and reach out with opportunities through the platform.

> If you’d like to maximize requests on Triplebyte, make sure your profile is up to date. We’ll use this information to match you with the best opportunities.

There doesn't even seem to be an opt-out option this time around. Apparently they didn't learn their lesson back in May.
> Those users can choose to access your content on Facebook, Reddit, email, or anywhere else _with no obstruction_.

The network effect is the obstruction. It's a medium for discussion. You're on Twitter, having a conversation with a set of specific individuals. Some of them disagree with you and you are trying to convince them of your position. You are responding to public claims that they made about you.

Now Twitter decides that you're guilty of crimethink and you are invited to start your own website. But who is going to go there? The things you write there don't appear in anyone's feed as a rebuttal to the dubious claims being made against you on Twitter. If one person shows up to engage with you, they find no community and no multi-party discussion happening there, so they leave, and so does the next person.

And the people making the dubious claims against you are happy to see you go and have no reason to follow, because now they can preach to their audience of millions without encountering any criticism from anyone who disagrees with them. Meanwhile someone builds anti-Twitter which has all the same problems but a different political alignment, exacerbating the polarization of the country by preventing anyone from engaging with anyone who doesn't share the same set of preconceived notions, because both sites ban anyone who disagrees with The Preferred Party and there is nowhere that people with genuine disagreements can hash them out without one of them getting booted.
> Balance in reporting should be aiming to centre around objective truth.

Yet how much time was spent reporting on the piss tapes. Then how much time was spent reporting on how fake they were and where they came from?
Fixed 24 out of 24 :)

> A taller Model with many fields [...] It may be time to split the Model into multiple Models with a OneToOne relationship.

Never understood that advice, what's the point of complexifying your model because a class has too many attributes?
My take would be that once you need another environment than staging+prod, that's the time to move to at the very least move to containers, and probably think very hard about either a hosted Kubernetes or something like Fargate.
I hope so as well. Still honked off about the performance of the store though.
The US healthcare is good only when considering those who can pay to access it. But since large swathes of the US population cannot afford to have access (expensive insurance costs, even with Obamacare support), this becomes a mute point. If that is the metric, then even Brazil (and many other 3rd word countries) also has good medical care, because it works for the small percent of the population with money to access it.

And in fact this is one of the big differentiators between 1st world and 3rd world countries: if the population has access to quality services, in health care or other important areas like education and sanitation. The US seems to be designing its systems to become a big 3rd world country.
> I think it makes sense: even the utmost atheist needs to have beliefs

Only if you equivocate on the definition of "belief" as you seem to be.

Of course you can.
The one who refuses to move to GPL3?
Very fun. This is the form of studying I enjoy the most - by correcting "other's mistakes" (and getting hints when I can't). I actually believe it is very efficient. I wish there were more games like this, for all the subjects imaginable.
OOC what framework do you use?

More broadly, can you help me with an opinion on my present struggle? Here goes:

I have a lot of ideas, a couple of which solve problems for me and I think are even _good_ ideas. However, none have shipped because I'm spending an inordinate amount of time building out what is essentially my own SaaS template. Is it worth investing the time in doing that, or are some of the commercial SaaS templates out there (sjabloon, bullettrain, etc)

I prefer Python/Flask, but I'm trying to learn Rails now, since a lot of the small saas ecosystem seems to exist there.
Raku (formerly Perl6) is multi-paradigm.
>>>he still makes an error in assuming that people who enjoy this game are "tolerating moral ambiguity."

That's a good catch that I skimmed over. One of the things taught at The Basic School is to "turn the map around"; in other words, to approach the tactical situation from your adversary's perspective, come up with a sensible plan for the enemy, and then use that to drive your own planning for how to defeat them. You have to know how they might solve THEIR tactical problems in order to solve YOUR tactical problems. Gaming out the bad guys' Courses of Action is an essential part of military planning and wargaming's role in planning. It has no moral endorsement attached to it at all. Why would the author even think otherwise? That's such a bizarre and huge leap in logic.

Nobody here, for example, is morally tolerant of the CCP or DPRK:

I traveled around Asian from 2012-2015 and my home base was in Taiwan. The people and food are great and it's a much better standard of living compared to other parts of Asia.

Some downsides:

If you are black and want to get a job as an English teacher, you will have difficulties. Most parents will not see your English level as equal to someone that is White. Racism is still rampant in Asia. Some people see it as a difference in culture.

Government infrastructure is still in the stone age. Websites that don't work, are non-existent, or just give false information. Bus systems that all work a little bit differently and virtually no standardization across the different provinces.

If you can work remotely and get US wages, you will be in a good place. I was able to rent a luxury apartment with a security guard for ~$300/USD/month. I worked remotely for American companies.

If you are an English teacher and don't know mandarin, they will pressure you to get an apartment through them. They get kickbacks and the apartments are usually really terrible. Luckily, I studied mandarin for a few years before I went and went through a real-estate agent.

I also found many of the western English teachers to be comprised of young twenty somethings that just want to party all the time, bang the local Asian women, or people that ran out of options in their own country (issues with the law) and thought it would be easy money. These groups give all Westerners a bad name and many assume you will be the same. It's tough to break this stereotype.

Many of the cram schools don't do their due diligence and just want anyone that speaks English.

I also knew a few people that got into bad contracts with these cram schools. They would require monthly training and the training would come out of your paycheck. You can't just pay it yourself. In the end, some actually owed more money to the school than what they received.
There is a fundamental difference between your personal chooses and the chooses of a workplace. When you are a business there will be a point where a decision you make is political, way more so then if you are a person of no fame nor power.
I know, I don't do as much photo editing anymore and there are some better integrated/ Mac friendlier options that take care of my needs for just a few bucks.

I love FOSS, but I also like creative/ great products by small to mid-size indie developers like Pixelmator. For what I do, it's fantastic, they have a iPad app too which is where I do most of my photo editing.
We have a good 30 to 40 years of evidence on this. What is shows is, in the absence of strong safety nets and labor and environmental controls (which are often explicitly limited by the trade deals themselves), trade is a very small benefit to workers in developing countries, and a huge gift to corporations and higher income individuals and a disaster for the working class in developed countries.
Whichever way you slice it, this is pretty cool.

Mattermost’s QA Journey with RainforestQA
I noticed this yesterday. I don't know why HTML would be to blame, as I've used web browsers on low power devices before and they can be very snappy.

One thing I noticed was that when attempting to switch between e.g. 'Offers', 'New' and 'Highlighted' or whatever the headings are, there's a large lag / hangup. It certainly doesn't feel like they're working on keeping it fluid and snappy. That might not be a priority, but I'm certainly put off browsing and buying when it's unpleasant to do so.

To be fair, it's worse on other consoles IME, and if I keep my browsing light, stay at the top of lists and don't get too impatient, it's okay.
time "spent" in the database depends on the speed of DB drivers too, which depends on the language. Our stuff is Java and average query is ~2ms round trip.

To give an extreme example, Hunter-Gatherers generally didn't spend all their time hunting. There's every indication they spent only as much as early farmers at most. In some cases it was a few tens of hours per week per person. Population growth is a separate, rather more complicated topic.

Roblox: Tweenage Mutant MMT-Ers
Never in my fevered dreams while wrestling with this kind of display gear and accompanying terminal experience in the dark ages of computing, cursing the foul limitations and wishing I could jump forward a few decades, did I ever imagine people would pay to get the same experience I was going through back then. Sure, today there is a nostalgic twinge for my long-trashed yute, but not so nostalgic to pay for reliving it.

These days, I want a cybernetic-augmented vision-nerves-proxy that projects as many windows and other visual artifacts as I want into my visual cone, and typing directly keyed off my brain's Broca's Area (or maybe the area for neuromuscular control of my fingers if using Broca's Area proves to yield too slow an input response). Hopefully powered by nano-powerplants hoovering up fatty acids and adipose cells from my blood, oxidizing into ATP, and generating electricity from the ATP. Hopefully thermal management is sufficient by drinking more water and exhaling more water vapor.
The difference between virtual child abuse and virtual killing is that killing isn't intrinsically wrong. The question after that is if military-propaganda-game-#973 has you shooting at just targets or not.
