They are just playing defense since the govt is coming after them for being a monopoly and abusing their power and position.
I feel is both. Also a good strategist would have made sure whatever plan and vision you have is also going to be executed well. A strategy that didn't end up to be executed well is a failed strategy.
Investors don't miss out on IPOs (definitionally, an IPO is what non-accredited investors don't miss out on). They do miss out on VC firms, but they would anyways: VCs don't want your money, because you, as a cohort, are a galactic-scale hassle. In the Majors, funds sell themselves to investments as much as investments sell themselves to funds.

So in addition to all the fraud problems, you also have a huge adverse selection problem: the private investments that are available to retail investors are going to be of starkly lower quality than what's available to Bessemer and Index.
Sounds like a liability if the content was as perverse as the person describes.
In my observation it's much easier to maintain a certain level of carefulness around strangers than it is around family. It's as if we were biologically wired to trust family more (we might actually be). On paper, Covid precautions are supposed to be as much to protect the other as to protect the self, but much of the relevant behaviour is so little controlled by rational though that we can only control it by tapping into self preservation instincts. And those simply don't fire as reliable with family as they do with strangers. I claim that if they have the same risk of being infected, n hours with m strangers is less dangerous than n hours with m family members.

It sure looks a bit weird to ask this of people who don't work in isolation, but on the other hand it's not worse for them than for the WFH crowd. It could even be argued that it's worse for the WFH because the customer facing at least still get to interact with humans on a regular basis.
Discussing asynchronous communication for dev teams
I also feel like in the spirit of the OP: it’s like telling customers that they can drive without a seatbelt and it will save them time getting in/out of the car.

Most will look at you like you’ve got three heads, and (I suspect) the majority will simply walk away without purchasing.
6-7 million more votes is a clear win.

It's also a clearer win than he had vs. Hilary.
A few services do that, for example Liberapay [1]. It's also not much different from how other social sign-in methods work (Facebook, Google, GitHub), only you already have your email on file. I guess the main drawback is the email delivery delay, which is much slower than an HTTP workflow.

NSF begins planning for decommissioning of Arecibo telescope due to safety
It's also worth noting that the Reform utilizes a necessarily large heat sink in a spacious case, for that same SoC the Librem 5 shoehorns into a handset, despite not even having WWAN electronics heat to dissipate. Expect the Librem 5 performance to be heavily throttled for thermal reasons alone.
>There was a time when those ideas weren't so dominant,

That was also a time when three news networks controlled everything on TV. Print media had "journalistic integrity" (i.e. was buddy-buddy with existing institutions) so you never got to hear about it when the police kicked in a black guy's skull for no reason or when a construction project turned into a boondoggle handout for someone well connected. It was also a time with less government. People didn't have to put up with (as much) bureaucratic run around in order to build a deck on their house or to open a business.

The reason there's no faith in government these days is because there's people telling us how that sausage is made and we eat so much of it we're sick of it.
If our society decides it is necessary to act with the full weight of the law behind it, then it would seem better to have the information available for the public to verify than not. I'm not saying it is all great, but that it is far better to have information available so that things like average sentence length for a given crime based on demographic and psychographic information can be queried by all. If a city that is 50/50 male/female and 20/80 black/non-black finds their speeding tickets are 70/30 male female and 35/65 black/non-black, then it may be worth investigating to see if police are being fair who they give warnings to, who gets reduces tickets, and who gets neither.

As for major privacy concerns, it is generally the more major crimes that have the larger issue with the victim being known. Knowing that some one was the victim of mischief vandalism is far less a privacy invasion than knowing they were the victim of sexual assault of a child (and even hiding the victim's identity often doesn't do more than hide the name from a passive search).

Then there are the benefits that other posters have raised, such as being useful for knowing past decisions used even in minor trials.
>why the downvotes?

Probably because currently MacOS just has a slightly more nagging version of Window's UAC when it comes to unsigned software.

Saying that they will disable it holds about the same amount of weight as saying Microsoft will make Windows Win10 S mode only. Is it possible? Maybe, but neither company is going to shoot themselves in the foot like that in the current market.
In an age of 4k streaming being frugal with 1MB websites for the sake of it is kind of missing the point. Yes, we should care how we build stuff, and we should not use resources like there is no tomorrow, but on HN there is a sentiment that basically says that everything on the web after year ~2010 is terrible, hard to use and wasteful.
Yes, it has records from different trial courts.
Being social and connected with our family unit is also deeply embedded in our DNA.

> Creators went for direct monetization outside of youtube instead of ads, and youtube responded by keeping their net income the same by just showing ads anyway.

It's more complicated than that. Small time creators or others ineligible for the Youtube "partner program" have no choice but to monetize outside of Youtube. With this change, the only way you as a creator can choose whether ads appear on your video is to make partner.

The scummy thing here is that Youtube has made it harder and harder for creators to become eligible to monetize their channels, and now they're swooping in to take 100% of the ad revenue on those small-time channels.
I don't want this to sound like a criticism, but I would like to understand your point of view: do you really consider this a reason for choosing a language over any other?

Even if you had to use notepad to program - or had very basic syntax highlighting - wouldn't be what the language provides a more compelling point to make these choices?

How will locking my family in our home make an obese person not obese?

The US is currently at 42% obese. This is now the forecast for the entire world for 2040 - 42% of all humans obese. That tells me the future will be filled with lockdowns.

Once socialized healthcare arrives in the US, things will be worse - the obese will have access to pills, treatments and surgeries that extend their lives even further, allowing them to become even more obese on the public's dime. People with normal BMI will be referred to as "body fascists" and the world will reformat itself to accomodate Rascal scooters as the primary means of mobility.
How people feel about Roam, Notion, Obsidian and “Second Brains”
One can believe it's real, and also believe scientific evidence that masks don't help much (or at least don't offer the level of protection many believe).

Similarly one can know it's real but have a different perception of risk.

For instance, a recently published controlled trial doesn't show a statistically significant difference between mask wearers and non.

https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M20-6817
I agree, but what's the solution? Does anyone know of people at least trying to come up with a better solution?

I know there are the economist and New York Times type of subscriptions, but I think we need more than that.
Fortunately there are many other public health experts to choose from. You can safely ignore everything Dr. Fauci says and still get good advice.

This really depends on how far back you look. I was looking at the data for Sweden the other day. If you look at the last 20 years in terms of overall mortality, 2020 is right around the middle: https://mobile.twitter.com/TLennhamn/status/1295269941109764...

It's certainly more than last year, or the year before that, but it's not an outlier for the last two decades.

> There are good temperate places in the USA pacific northwest, but cost of living there was so high that there's no way I could have done it on Salt Lake City based wages. Even just the higher CoL in Alaska was pretty painful.

have you looked into oregon outside of portland? say about 30 to 40 min out? it's not trump country, and it's still cool and not that expensive. i would say cheaper than alaska. same for seattle/WA.

for keeping your laptop up to date have you looked deeper into rsync? check out https://fedoramagazine.org/copying-large-files-with-rsync-an....

also you can consider zfs or btrfs as filesystem since they can offer block level sync. not always possible, but this can change things for you big time.

good luck.
To summarise, there is nothing inherently wrong with DoH (serving DNS RRs via HTTPS), but there is something inherently wrong with enabling applications to ignore the user's OS DNS settings by default and perform their own DNS resolution, whether via DoH or otherwise.
Those time shifting shows appear on broadcast tv across the nation in different time zones. They are not cable channels but broadcast channels appearing in cable. A tv antenia will pick them up.

The timeshifting is the tv stations defense of segmenting their ad market and protecting against local viewer loss that targets ads to markets.

If you in New York watch Denver's version two things happen. New York loses viewers. Denver gains viewers who's local ads are not relevant and those viewers not included when selling ads.
Funny, we used to call this middleware 10 years ago
Seriously, how are people covering for this? When Fauci's / CDC call on masks went out early in the pandemic, HN collectively gasped on multiple threads about wtf were they thinking and linked tons of research evidence on why they were effective. Many of us knew that it was a terrible, terrible call.
Too weird to me since I have an YouTube premium subscription (because I bought Google Music way back), not non of this affects me.

I spent many years as a forensic engineer. In my career we worked on several high profile cases but none were ever presented as well as this one. Kudos to this team!
This is sophist crap, reverse-engineered to justify your dislike of urbanites. If the situation were reversed-- people in urban areas behaving carelessly and dying in droves while in rural areas people were taking appropriate precautions-- you'd be screaming about how it just proves that the "urban milieu" is atomized and doesn't care about anyone but themselves, while in rural areas people still care about their community above the individual.
Ahh let the bikeshedding continue.

In these situations all I want to say is "Who cares".

Optimization matters when it actually solves a problem, before that it's just wasted effort.

I don't hear the general public yelling from the rooftops "The web is too slow! Developers are building too fast! I wish we could go backwards!"
That may be the reality but if the court or due process ordered something expunged from a record it should be updated in all records and the details not present.

Should just do a search for expunged or similar terms and remove those entries.
Horses for courses I guess.

Even when I'm on a Mac almost everything I do is either in browser or in a terminal.
There is this which showed a lower infection rate in non participants of the strict lock-down(mask wearing) study group.

https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2029717

The study was not large.
Another study found similarly close rates of infection for mask vs no mask:

https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M20-6817

From this CDC report we can see that despite widespread mask usage there is infection(as we are seeing in general)

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/pdfs/mm6936a5-H.pdf

Each of these studies have their own issues such as small sample sizes and self reporting. We need more data and studies to make an informed decisions.
There are a lot of people for who this is true, yes. It has come up consistently on our annual survey.

Usability is a feature, and many people consider a language’s IDE support to be a critical aspect of usability.
Wonderful to hear that and was wondering if that would be down to the catholic church having a better structure of leadership that was on-board early? After all, we all know the Catholic church has The Pope as their leader, and probably about the only religion people know who the World voice of that religion is.

But kudos for the Catholic Church for what they have done throughout this pandemic. I am by no means saying other religions efforts during this pandemic are any better or worse and just wanted to clarify that so no subtext is inferred. Indeed I don't want to hear what others if they are be doing wrong, kinda want to hear the good examples so we all learn from them.

>And yes, the Catholic Church definitely cares about tradition. In fact, people criticize it for caring too much about tradition at times.

The Catholic Church also has a tradition of caring and people have a tradition of complaining (I'm British so maybe a cultural perspective slant there), but nobody complaining here upon that tradition of caring too much.
kb or kB?

Assuming kB and dialup, which was 83% of the US at the time (easiest stat to quickly find), that was a difference of about 23s vs 121s load time.

Edit: Seems like the UK would have been about 50/50 around that time according to this article:

The existence of first-contentful-paint, as well as the page speed index, would suggest they care to prioritize for these factors as well and not simply defer to after load.

Both of those metrics account for the visual completion of the page relative to its final appearance -- deferred resources would slow that.

Thanks. I saw your post on reddit a while back. Was going to ask about your tech stack.
Indeed. Also, much less of an attention sink, and lynx-friendly. Are there more news websites like this?
Yes, I don't understand this. If you don't care enough about your family to spend time with them during the holidays, then why care what they think about your nonattendance?
That's their interpretation of the contract. In the sale I have chosen to interpret it differently, much as they have.
Starshade is a crazy concept that could do more for the search for life than any previous approach by allowing us to block out a star to directly view its planets.

I am in the same situation wrt to Reddit and I share the pov that pure text and links are better, cleaner and less distracting. In a world where everything begs for our attention, we are craving a bit of silence.

I feel something similar about text editors really, with most color schemes being way over the top with the need to differentiate everything.
Yeah, completely passive income is mostly a dream for most except some extreamely lucky. I think these mostly claiming they do have passive income don't count worrying about project future, taking laptop for holidays just in case, legal risks, upfront investment or just doing tons of small housekeeping or side marketing as true activity. That especialy when passive income becomes the main one.
It is optimized business.
Interestingly, I've heard slightly differently from 2 of my Bay Area friends. They've said that local appointments have been fully booked up to Thanksgiving. I live here too but I haven't checked myself. It's possible they are only looking at the closest locations to their home.
If $100M was invested in building a new one, much of that money would stay in the PR economy in hiring local labor.So it's not a win-lose scenario -- winning more funding could be a net win for the locals too.
In some ways it's interesting to think that a modern website is larger than most operating systems used to be.

I can understand why (frameworks, rich assets, etc) but it puts us in an interesting place.

I wonder what the web will look like in 2030?
I don't think so. I just notice that when I post something Facebook puts a election-related warning below the post, and that seems to be correlated with visibility. So I do various things like misspelling words to stump Facebook's AI and force them to treat it like a neutral post that they don't understand. I don't want their algorithms trying to understand my content or downranking external links. I want them to play the role of blind message passing between friends.

Here's one example of what I do on Facebook. Unicode upside down, misspelling deliberately, and blocking out parts of words in the image to stump their OCR algorithms.

It's essentially the same thing one has to do to get things through the China GFW, we now have our very own version in the US courtesy of FB.
>ECC is recommended but many people, myself included, have run many stable years without ECC.

zfs requires ECC[0][1], do not skimp on this.

I ran many zfs pools for >8 years without issues until silent memory corruption happened to me, and now I can't access my data anymore (zfs won't let me mount a zpool that fails scrub checks).

The part I found interesting was the number of death from flu and pneumonia:

5 year average: 28,140 deaths

2020 so far: 18,325 deaths (does not include November and
December!)

COVID 2020: 53,675 deaths

So while it does seem to be killing some people who would've died from the flu/pneumonia anyway, it's still nearly double the 5 year average which would make it one hell of a bad flu strain.

Some of the reviews have mentioned what running a particular heavy workload reduced their charge level by.

>After a single build of WebKit, the M1 MacBook Pro had a massive 91% of its battery left. I tried multiple tests here and I could have easily run a full build of WebKit 8-9 times on one charge of the M1 MacBook’s battery.

In comparison, I could have gotten through about 3 on the [Intel] 16” and the 13” [Intel] 2020 model only had one go in it.

> Randy closes up all of the books and looks at them peevishly for a while. They are all nice new books with color photographs on the covers. He picked them off the shelf because (getting introspective here) he is a computer guy, and in the computer world any book printed more than two months ago is a campy nostalgia item. Investigating a little more, he finds that all three of these shiny new books have been personally autographed by the authors, with long personal inscriptions: two addressed to Doug, and one to Amy. [...]

> He concludes that these are all consumer-grade diving books written for rum-drenched tourists, and furthermore that the publishers probably had teams of lawyers go over them one word at a time to make sure there would not be liability trouble. That the contents of these books, therefore, probably represent about one percent of everything that the authors actually know about diving, but that the lawyers have made sure that the authors don't even mention that. [...]

> Randy does a sorting procedure on the diving books now: he ignores anything that has color photographs, or that appears to have been published within the last twenty years, or that has any quotes on the back cover containing the words stunning, superb, user-friendly, or, worst of all, easy-to-understand. He looks for old, thick books with worn-out bindings and block-lettered titles like DIVE MANUAL. Anything with angry marginal notes written by Doug Shaftoe gets extra points.

I find it really weird all the uses of "bourgeois". It reads like an insult to the characters and is very insensitive to how criminal communism was and still is. It feels like reading something sprinkled with words popularized from Mein Kampf, if there are any.
My organization has put together some data on this:

https://covidtestdb.com/performance/

We pulled together performance data for dozens of COVID-19 diagnostics, which you can download. We also created a stats tool to help you understand the Predictive Value of each test based on how widespread the disease is in the tested population.

The key metrics we look at are:

Positive predictive value (PPV), the fraction of positive tests where the person actually had the disease.

Negative predictive value (NPV), the fraction of negative tests where the person actually did not have the disease.
BitBucket's blogpost about reliability fails to load due to reliability issues
For reasons I can't entirely recall, there are pretty serious limitations on the thrust these can generate. I believe it has something to do with the air becoming "saturated" with ions. The limit on the density of charged particles limits how much mass you have to push on. The aircraft in your link has a top speed of 17km/h.

Heating the air with microwaves or an electric arc could work, since it would just be replacing burning fuel with another heat source. It would still require moving parts though (unless it's only used as a ramjet), since a jet engine has to compress the air before heating it.
Macos ships with some interpreters pre-installed as part of BigSur, including Ruby, Python and Perl. And most source distributions should just compile, but my guess is that it will be buggy given the arch + os combination is novel.

Everything at the Unix level Apple ships is already a universal binary, including Ruby, Python, etc. For example, zsh (and bash) run natively on the M1:

file /bin/zsh

/bin/zsh: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures: [x86_64:Mach-O 64-bit
executable x86_64] [arm64e:Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64e]
/bin/zsh (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64
/bin/zsh (for architecture arm64e): Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64e
