I created this product, but wouldn't say from scratch.

It's based on a full face snorkel mask, with a few adaptors for filters (instead of water) that I designed with the help of an industrial engineer and the manufacturer of the snorkel mask.

Goal was to reuse existing design and injection molds to reduce cost and increase speed to market (wanted to get them out in July, took till November!)

Can we be more careful with our language? Saying "X silenced a minority/woman" or whatever is not saying that "X silenced a minority/woman because they are a minority/woman".

It isn't really clear with your first quote if one thinks that silencing people generally is okay, but not minorities/women, or if silencing anyone is never okay, or if the minority/woman was silenced merely for their demographic status.

I totally agree with that point. The cartoonish depiction was intentional, in response to the cartoonish depiction of unions. The statement is defensible in the sense that I left it wiggly: “one of the most racist orgs” is kinda vague. I’m past my “US out of North America!” Phase, and all generally irritated with one dimensional interpretations of the world, though I could still play a radical leftist on TV
Sure but HR wouldn't share the feedback on her paper and give her an opportunity to update it. Instead they demanded that she retract the paper.

How is it fair or standard to make someone retract a paper because of anonymous and secret criticisms that the researcher isn't even given a chance to address?
Cocaine was in widespread use before it was banned as well. Cocaine literally gave us anesthesia! It was also in products such as Coca-Cola etc. Colombia legalizing it shouldn't be that weird when comparing to alcohol.

I agree with this assessment. I believe home streaming new releases will compete with theaters, but I don't think it will completely replace them. Anecdotally, my wife and her friends all love going to the theater to see movies and I expect they will resume doing so post-pandemic. I am a homebody, but my wife is not; so given the option she would prefer to get out of our house and go to the theater.

What I'm curious about is how this will impact distribution arrangements once theaters do re-open. I could see it going one of two ways:

1. If studios start streaming new releases, they can't offer theaters the same kind of exclusive distribution that they could in the past, allowing theaters to demand more favorable terms

2. Since studios now have alternative distribution channels, they don't necessarily need theaters to distribute their new releases, so studios can demand more favorable terms.
I remember that I read somewhere (maybe here on HN) years ago that HR is like the secret police of police states. Nobody willingfully talks to them, except their bosses. The dynamics of this incident, the secrecy, the lack of care about people, enforce that metaphor.

I wonder what People Ops is, something more about logistics maybe. Still paid by the company, so it can't be on the side of employees.
> With regards to the M1, I'm grateful for a good competition. As this will likely push premium laptop manufactures (Razer, Dell) towards ryzen CPUs, as opposed to using them in cheaper models. Loosening the grip that intel has on them.

In the past this has not been the case due to Intel's anticompetitive practices and while I think it's good to be cautiously optimistic, I would also not be surprised to not see no-compromise flagship notebooks with ryzen in them from the larger pc manufacturers.
On the other hand, we have a lot software in the industry that changes regularly without any perceivable improvement. Google is known for relentlessly pruning whole products that people were happily using but they're also pretty aggressive about removing features from existing products.

One big example of that is the removal of community captioning for YouTube videos. Call me hidebound but I am not happy at all with this, even though I don't use it very much. Captions are critical for making videos accessible to the deaf and hard of hearing communities. The removal of this feature is an ugly snub to a vulnerable group. Now they will be wholly reliant on the video creators to do the captioning themselves or otherwise be stuck with the lousy automatic captioning.

Have you considered using Common Crawl [1], and if so, what was your assessment when compared to having your own spyders?

Long-term, a combination of theirs and your own could be optimal.

There are strengths and weaknesses with using their dumps: on one hand, benefits include them having crawled and having dealt with being throttled, etc. They offer monthly dumps for general content and daily dumps for news [2].

On the other hand, it's a huge pile of data to wade through, and their index format might not be your preferred method. The archive and index reside officially at AWS, so that may decide where to process it. (Not sure whether other providers maintain a copy as well or not.)

By "huge", specifically:

> October 2020 [...] contains 2.71 billion web pages or 280 TiB of uncompressed content.

From our analysis a few years ago, that was to be the approach for the now-defunct Snagz.net [3] (which never fully launched because co-founders were unable to join due to extenuating circumstances).

If I buy any x86 PC, chances are I can install mainline Linux on it. Picking up any particular recent ARM SoC and the chance of doing so is much, much less. The M1 included, after all.

Both of these took considerably longer to get mainline support that your average x86 hardware needs.

To be honest, all of these are fine. The very fact that you're going to be rolling out a tool and educating your staff in secure password management is a huge win regardless of which option you choose.

That said, for a team size < 25 I would recommend 1Password. The product is fantastic - best in class - and they are regularly pushing improvements across all platforms.

For teams 50+ I would choose LastPass which has better 'enterprise' features, but despite having used it at work for 7 years I still really dislike it. This could be because I've been using 1Password in a personal/family capacity for about 12 years!
The information you so generously "shared" was not helpful. You intentionally spread it in a misleading way, and at this point enough counter-evidence has been provided to you that you must know you were wrong, which means you are now arguing in bad faith. Nowhere on that page does the CDC claim that current COVID-19 vaccines prevent the spread of the virus (in fact they explicitly disclaim the vaccine's effect on herd immunity), but you selectively quoted to make it seem as though they might have said that.

To be fair, a large portion of the blame lies with whoever wrote the copy for that CDC marketing page, as they are intentionally obscuring the fact that these vaccines do not prevent the spread of the virus. It's easily understandable why they are obscuring that fact and I suppose we should just be thankful that they haven't spread any outright lies on that page, again by explicitly making no claims about herd immunity. Note that the page does explain to people that they need to keep social distancing after receiving the vaccine, which shows that the CDC does acknowledge privately that the vaccine does not prevent transmission of the virus.
Yep, I love that feature and they provide a grandfather / lock in policy for accounts.

It isn't a perfect platform but the breadth and centralization has been great and the communication following the acquisition has been good. It is well worth the cost of entry.

The demos are valuable as well since they start you with certain infrastructure and you can focus on the drill/demo.

I mean that’s about the same interval that the sexually active population should be getting tested, which is a blood test, which is a jab. Thats a best practice which mitigates most issues around sex to begin with, so this wouldnt be an abnormal for treatment.

I feel like insurance providers could and should reeducate adults on modern sex education, since most adults have a patchwork of outdated best practices based mostly on fear, alongside missing some vaccinations.

With this seemingly becoming the new norm, I hope streaming services can find a way to make the quality of streams better or offer a way to temporarily download a new movie at a higher quality. Streams still lag behind Blu-ray by quite a margin. Maybe if we could get something between Blu-ray and the DCP files theaters get. Or even just Blu-ray quality would be a greatly appreciated upgrade.

You are a little too understanding of the general population. What percentage of people will quietly apologize and change their behavior instead of becoming combative for being confronted for their assholery? In my anecdotal experience it’s probably like 75% of people in general become combative and you need staff to deal with them.
I was thinking more about my post after I made it, and I came to the same realization.

Part of this is on iOS, apps are compiled to native code and the restrictions enforced through static analysis before code even reaches the end user.

A good analogy would be Android and how they ban 3rd party advertisements in push notifications. That obviously isn't an API enforcement, indeed that enforcement is only possible with a centralized app store where developer credentials can be revoked.

In comparison, web browsers have become a push notification nightmare, with naive end users being endlessly spammed with garbage on their desktop being delivered through web push notifications.

So, I'll readily concede that a web based open distribution model cannot offer the same API surface area as a distribution model that has a combination of manual reviews and static code analysis being used to enforce customer friendly policies.

That said, a lot of apps still can fit into the web model, including large numbers of games (See: The decades of insanely HQ Flash games that existed until recently, sandboxed(ish) code delivered through a web browser), video playback (in which downloaded apps failed in the 90s, then the field took off thanks to web browsers), music playback (I use Spotify in my browser every day), and many others.
I think it's simply the nature of crowdsourced funding that creates more ideas that get funded, both good and bad.

For example, anyone can start a funding campaign to launch a product on Indiegogo and most of the projects on there aren't revolutionary.

The same thing occurs in crypto where anyone can invest in a new ideas via a token sale or DAO because crypto is borderless and open to anyone, analogous to Indiegogo projects getting funding from non-institutional investors and many of those projects becoming a flop.
> Why do we want this back?

Because people can't behave.

It's not too much to ask for people to act appropriately in certain situations. During a movie, or stage production, it is not too much to ask for people to shut up and stay off their damned phones. If you can't be relatively quiet for a few hours, maybe going to a theater is not for you.
Please don’t use that colloquialism. It is vulgar and offensive.

If you mean “show the inner workings” then just say that.
>Such temporary visa holders often have limited job mobility and thus are likely to remain with their company until they can adjust status, which for some can be decades.

> It's vastly more popular then 10 years ago, because now my plumber and barber ask me about it, it is regularly talked about in the news and there are almost no countries without laws enacted as a response to it.

Nobody's disputing that. As in my previous examples, we've all heard of 3D televisions, segways, HD DVD's, 8-track, beta max, Theranos, Juicero, and tons of other laughably bad ideas. That doesn't indicate success.

Completely agree with regards the closed platform.

I switched to Linux for my development machine for a few years now. And, using something else than i3(or any other tilling window managers) seems like a step down. I like instant switching between workspaces, splits, no animations.

And I'll be looking for a good laptop next year, when everything returns back to normal, and I might have to travel. And will put Linux on it.

And agree with regards to aggressive marketing, in my case it makes the brand a bit toxic for my taste.

In the future, it’ll probably transform more and more into a sort of hyper-capitalistic and highly-successful country like Switzerland.
I'm with you on this one; a company can't hire an activist and expect that person to not commit activism. Of course, a pessimistic person might say "it just makes it easier to fire them for 'just cause'", making the company sound good going into and out of the employment agreement.

"Look how awesome this activist is we're hiring," easily becomes "Look how unreasonable this employee is we're firing."

Your argument still seems to apply only to countries with access to ocean.

Yes just rake them into a pile.

For anaerobic (no oxygen) composting you just leave the pile alone and let nature do it’s work. The spores are already there they just need the right conditions. It will take months to year(s) if you just let it sit.

For aerobic composting you should layer leaves and grass clippings. One brown layer, one green layer and so on. It’s best done in a sunny area and you’ll need to turn the compost weekly. It should only take a few months or more and it will be hot. Ever driven by a steaming pile of wood chips or some other steaming earthy pile? Organisms are making heat while they feed on organic matter.

Just remember the fungus and organisms are already there they just needs the right conditions to flourish.
