I couldn't find the account id for her bank account. Is it supposed to be there? I'll keep looking.

edit: the WIP message in the messaging system makes me think that you can't yet track the Annie.

Also, is it supposed to be so simple to find the account password?
Even if we just vaccinated those at greatest risk the death rate would plummet to an acceptable level, and for those people the benefits far outweigh any potential risks.

The first one is easy. Nearly every animal would be better off not being born. Not many animals have an easy fun filled fulfilling life. Most of them spend their days hungry and scared, and their last day is often being eaten alive or some other miserable death.

The second is also easy. Nearly every animal that is farmed has a much better life as livestock than as a wild animal. Want your last day to be a bolt through the brain after getting to gorge on food for weeks, or chased down and your guts ripped out and eaten while you're pinned down in terror?
Is that not enough to cause the misfold in question?

Nobody wants to run their own servers. Period. You absolutely, positively will not get widespread adoption of any process that involves Docker, DNS, or anything that involves more than a single click. Nobody wants to handle backups, upgrades, or move hardware.

You might, maybe, be able to get a federated system, whereby people could sign up for major providers that all talk to each other. And that could include being your own provider. For most people, that would be no harder than signing up for Facebook.

Now you just need to give them a reason, and no, nebulous "privacy" isn't going to cut it. Nor is "portability". If anything, the easier it is to move your data around, the more it's going to seem like picking one provider over another is a waste of their time.

The whole point of social networking is networking. People want to connect. "Private social networking" is a contradiction in terms. There's little motivation for people to take control of their social networking, and they're happy to put up with the mediocre privacy controls because the vast majority of the time they want to be more public, not less.
I think they use cloud providers in regions where they don't have physical footprints, to offer data locality guarantees.

But the testimonial only talks about Dropbox's data lake. So this is not about dropbox's main product storage, it's "just" their data lake for analytics.

Curious: would you need a work queue with auto-scaling lambdas?
Wow - first time I've seen that. Some are a little over-eager... Hangouts for example basically continues as Google Meet.

What I wonder is how many startups were effectively killed by these dead products, either by destroying a business model and chances of getting investors or through acqui-hiring the best talent?
There are tools to generate realistic patient data, for example Synthea: https://synthetichealth.github.io/synthea/
> “Many of those who reach us say they have no place to go when they’re told to stay home,” said Jun Tachibana of the Bond Project. “Many are having problems with their family, friends or boyfriends. I worry they may be feeling more lonely.”

Unfortunately, this article's diagnosing of the problem as loneliness misses the mark entirely. I don't think loneliness alone should account for this 80% increase in female suicides – there is an insidious assumption here, that women are somehow less able to "deal" with being alone, to such a severe extent that they are driven to suicide. Additionally, in the same sentence, Jun Tachibana mentioned that the women are "having problems with their family, friends, or boyfriends" – not that they don't have these interactions, but that these interactions are the source of problems.

What the article was woefully remiss in addressing at all is the increased rates of domestic abuse and child abuse that has happened in Japan in the last few years [1]. Domestic abuse in Japan has increased year to year for 16 consecutive years. (I am not sure why, but I do know it's a taboo topic in Japan. See Kore-ada's film Shoplifters about the government response to this situation, and its myopic insistence that the nuclear family solves all). Additionally (in the US, for instance), we have seen domestic abuse rates soar during the pandemic [2]. As per the source: "Disturbingly, the data suggested that the pandemic has produced many new offenders: reports coming from city blocks with no previous record of domestic violence were the main drivers of the increase."

These two factors together with Japan's complicated history with suicide and shame actually provide a much clearer (and sad) picture of the possible cause of an increase in suicide for women.

"Its not leprosy, these are just thoughts."

If the people having these thoughts are really suicidal, then there really is a serious risk of them committing suicide, which makes what they're thinking not "just thoughts".

Also, while it may not be leprosy, one's thoughts and world view can seriously affect your partner. Partners committing suicide together does happen, and even when only one of them does it can be devastating for the other, and even if they don't being in a relationship with a suicidal partner can be heartbreaking.

I would seriously think twice, and three times even, before dating someone who was suicidal. IMO, suicidal people need to seriously get their lives together and overcome their issues with therapy before dating, or they risk ruining not only their own lives and that of their own family, but that of their partner and their family as well.
Flash loans are composed using a smart contract. So basically you create a smart contract that will call all the DEX/loan platform/other contract functions necessary to obtain the loan, carry out swaps and pay it back. You then deploy that contract.

Then you would have a separate program running on your client machine to scan for market opportunities, and when it spots one, have that program send a transaction to your deployed smart contract to initiate the loan and set into action whatever logic you programmed into the smart contract that will yield a profit.

Yes, it’s quite a rabbit hole indeed. It is hard to believe that something like this is even possible, let alone profitable, but it really can be. I have seen single flash loan transactions yield up to $46k in profits. That profit is irrevocably delivered back to you in a couple of seconds.
That is like the requirement which was added in FIDE-rules 1972 stating that king and rook need to be on the same rank while castling.

Before that you could promote a pawn to a rook and then castle vertically across the board.
I'm sure that's what Google developers tell themselves to feel better about being unable to keep something running for more than a couple of years, but the fact is Google could easily recruit developers to maintain things. They pay well, they make things people have heard of, and not everyone is insanely ambitious that they actively refuse to work on things that won't further their career.

So, can we download everything that we can, and host it somewhere else?

No, really?

I see some of the content has a license that would appear to allow it. But do any of us have the time, energy, and resources to sit down and do it?

This certainly isn't the first or last time some website with interesting content is going to go down. Maybe we should all get better at forking open source content as a matter of course.

If we don't, then I think criticizing Google for not being willing to host it is pretty lame.

Materialize has tackled the hardest problem in data warehousing, materialized views, which has never really been solved, and built a solution on a completely new architecture. This solution is useful by itself, but I'm also watching eagerly how their road map [1] plays out, as they go back and build out features like persistence and start to look more like a full-fledged data warehouse, but one with the first correct implementation of materialized views.

MIT study: Covid-19 vaccines may be less effective for racial minorities
Yeah, you're kidding yourself if you think that this level of surveillance is possible, but that they won't implement it due to negative feedback or any other kind of pressure. If this can be done, it will be done, and nothing will get in its way.

At this point, we might all be better off adopting the attitude: I don't have to outrun the bear, I just have outrun the other guy. I don't like it either, but I don't see much of an alternative.

It's not a massive change, but it's changing and ads are at the lowest percentage of overall revenue they've ever been.
If you read the clinical trial press they state that nobody who received the vaccine had a severe covid 19 disease. That means some had symptoms and a mild course of disease.

We do not know that if you get covid, despite vaccination, that you are not infectious.
They could continue to host these services for basically free...I guess the security vulnerabilities would grow over time, making them liable.
For anyone who has not heard of the word ikigai, I highly recommend googling it.

While not possible for everyone, and not easy for everyone to achieve, ikigai is the ultimate goal. If you can achieve that, you're outside of the rat race.
No, of course it's not all of life. But it's base factors. Kind of like basic survival situations. You need shelter, water and food. If you dont have that, you're chances of long term survival and/or happiness are close to zero. If you're under constant threat of physical harm, liable to get gravely sick and poor as a church mouse, your not going to have a good time either. It's easier to have a strong family, good friends and fulfilling hobbies and interests when the base 3 are at least stable, slightly leaning towards good. And of course I'm speaking generally, there are always exceptions, but to pretend exceptions are the norm isn't healthy either.

Careful, HN doesn't like bad talking of Trump for some reason. They like to pretend that the way he acts is normal and acceptable for a person in such power.

Hint: it's not.
Oooh, much better indeed, thank you!
I think to complete the point, it’s also worth pointing out that for any bases b, c and d:

log(x; b) = log(x; c)/log(b; c) = log(x; d)/log(b; d)

The second equality is why you can ignore c and d, and just pretend there's one logarithm when you do

log(x; b) = log(x)/log(b)

React.js: A simple platform to manage and automate localization
Perhaps you are. But why do you think that's relevant to this discussion?
How were previous implementations of materialized views deficient?
I'm not following what you're saying.

I'm saying "mu.Unlock()" except when deferred, is essentially always a bug. At the very least it's a bug waiting to happen. You need to prove that everything between Lock and Unlock is exception-safe. And that's rarely possible.

As I've said elsewhere you cannot rely on panic triggering program exit, since e.g. HTTP handlers swallow panics.

The fact that you seem to be saying you never see an Unlock deferred proves my point that saying "Go doesn't have exceptions" hurts Go programming. And Go code is in fact full of bugs because there's all this exception-unsafe code.

C++ is naturally exception safe, because RAII. Where it's not exception safe it's because RAII was not used.

Even something as simple as:

mu.Lock()

stats[metricName]++

mu.Unlock()

will throw if there's a path where stats[] map was not inited, and if called in an HTTP handler will leave the lock in place, leading to probably a deadlock of the server. Not great.
AFAIK both the FDA and the MHRA have been getting data regularly from the various vaccine developers. They didn't have to wait for a final dump of data just to see any of it.
FedEx to Acquire ShopRunner
Duo is pretty big. It's pre-installed on every single android phone, and on Samsung phones it is the default video calling app too.

Also, you cannot remove it. You can uninstall the icon, but the underlying code is so deeply integrated into the OS that people can still call you and you will get a Duo video call even after uninstalling it.

Quite a menace.
I usually use `Not` for checking if something isn't `None`

if `<value>` is Not None:

It helps with API rate-limits and prevents other errors.
> I don't think it's that simple. From my experience, if you are in certain non-Microsoft applications and the mouse is moving it will still set you as Away and won't set your status to Available until you click into an application it recognizes.

Is it just ignoring mouse movement, or actually monitoring interaction with the app it recognizes?

followup - shout out to https://defisafety.com/, which is attempting to curate lists of projects with publically performed audits, to make it easier to assess quality of their code (and how closely code adheres to human statements). it's nascent, but IMO a good step forward.
I read it more as a comment that we pay a lot of attention to areas where women are doing worse but not much to areas where men are doing worse.

This probably reflects a general societal bias where "missing woman" is seen as inherently more tragic than "missing man".
listening to multiple satellites at once
Lex has very solid content, but I do somewhat agree with the parent commentor. His delivery and style has alot of room for improvement... that does matter for a podcast. I don't blame anyone for struggling to listen to a 2-3 hour podcast where some quirk about the host or the guest distracts you in some unrelated way.
The article is misleading, but the news that the feature has been rolled back is still worth sharing I think. I wouldn't have known otherwise.
Joins were unavailable or subject to extreme limitations. Or just plain wrong!
This is a big win for Rust.
Granted, I don't live in a big city (only about 5 million people), and yes, you can get stable internet. But not 1Gbps..

I also move between three or four places and I want consistency. The extreme case I talked about was in the mountains. However, the coverage was good, but the "internet" sucked. It is this that's infuriating. You never know. Sometimes, you have 30Mbps on mobile, sometimes you have 120kbps. If there's no consistency, you can't forecast. You can't rely on something like that.

The operations part also sucks. So, given the unreliability and the inability to be consistent, I'll just sprinkle places with StarLink terminals and have one thing fewer to think about.
'On November 8th of 2016, half the country learned that everything they believed to be both true and obvious turned out to be wrong. The people who thought Trump had no chance of winning were under the impression they were smart people who understood their country, and politics, and how things work in general. When Trump won, they learned they were wrong. They were so very wrong that they reflexively (because this is how all brains work) rewrote the scripts they were seeing in their minds until it all made sense again. The wrong-about-everything crowd decided that the only way their world made sense, with their egos intact, is that either the Russians helped Trump win or there are far more racists in the country than they imagined, and he is their king. Those were the seeds of the two mass hysterias we witness today.'
I didn't say there was zero value, my statement also came with the assumption that upon starting this service, google never made it clear it would be temporary. I may be wrong about that.

Also, not everyone can afford to re-host their assets, not everyone will be able to, some might not even realize it'll be lost.

The broken trust comes from the idea that google likely promoted this as something that will be a new ongoing community that's now being shutdown unceremoniously.

The lack of trust towards Google's products come not just from the services they're providing they shut down, but they try to build up communities then abandon them with no recourse.

It wasn't just the assets they hosted, it was the people they were trying to bring together that are now scattered again because they trusted google.
Maybe I'm not looking far enough ahead, but how is running 130nm MPWs competing with the TSMC/Samsung level of fabs?
I can see how eFabless might have the effect of commoditizing a foundry because you aren't necessarily locked in to their tooling.

But doesn't that principle only sort of hold if the foundry's process itself is sort of a commodity (i.e. mature,old)? Old has worse connotations than I mean, because you can do a lot at fairly large nodes, you just aren't making iPhone SoCs at 130nm.
The process you describe is true for organic milk, but less true for regular milk. Modern dairy farms use sex selected semen to prevent males from being born and they use synthetic hormones to extend milk production. Not much excess calving happens in big dairy.
TSMC has announced they will build a 10nm fab in Arizona. But strategically speaking, Taiwan has an interest in keeping the latest and greatest fabs in Taiwan. It’s an incentive to keep the US invested in their defense.
Sometimes brute force is good enough.
Microsoft Remix, which was similar, was also shutdown:

Vague spoiler warning I guess:

* I struggled to understand what was clickable. The little red thing on the table seemed important. I guess not.

* Please don't make passwords case sensitive in games like this

* The puzzle felt too tough without the hint you posted. I'm not sure how I was supposed to know the password format. I wasn't able to open the drawer until mistakenly thinking the win code was the solution to the drawer, which it sort of was. But I more or less guessed the name and date were the password. I likely wouldn't have gotten it for a long time unless you posted the format.

* The stuff on the computer felt a little too simple. It also implied there was more to the game after the win code but I think not?
So, in the context of the discussion, you're arguing that instead of deploying drones (Turkish TB2 ~$5 million USD flyaway) as they did, Azerbajan should have purchased a squadron of Apache Helicopters (~$40 million USD flyaway) along with the support, training and maintenance infrastructure it would take to properly field them, in an effort to save money?

That's actually (at least recently) quite "popular" product I would say, because they included it in most Android smartphones to offer video calls. I am tempted to say Google Duo is spread on millions of devices, however it is kind of an app, which is rarely used at all by most of users. Also, there are thousands of competitors, where even Google Meet does feels better than Duo.

Well, their argument is surely either "we benefited from X then, thus we should continue doing X now despite having other options" or it's "animals already do bad things in nature, so why care when we do it despite having other options?"

Neither of which is a very compelling position.

And if there was, the criticism would be that a fall guy took the blame.

There's no posted evidence for the idea that Google only makes money on advertising, either. Can we have a discussion where we assume that everyone isn't an idiot who needs a link for every statement? Or do you seriously think advertising is the only way Google makes money? If so, sibling comment posted some nice links that one would do well to read.

None of that matters either. We need a national privacy law.

Microsoft knows social media and readers of the Guardian are not going to be a buyer of Office surveillance and metrics software. So it doesn’t matter if they do or don’t apologize - ie, it doesn’t matter if they delegate out customer service for non paying end users to social media. This is different than say Facebook and Google, where they need more people who click on ads and convert, which is a form of payer, so they’re going to be more sensitive to user perceptions despite the absence of a national privacy policy. It’s the #1 misconception, that there is a regulatory failure around social media privacy, when really it’s everything else where there’s no meaningful market mechanism to “opt out” of eg your employer’s privacy violating surveillance.

So to be really precise, the best way to get a remedy for non-paying poor people from a giant company is consistently, always, the law. It’s not a fucking post mortem scrum.
