The U.S. is devoutly individualistic and diverse and always with a defiant streak.

Genuinely asking - even with the message "we're all in this together", does it surprise you that others don't see it this way?

Considering how aggressively the US is exporting its culture: forget it.
New to me, but did you read their response? It says "The study found that cloth mask wearers had higher rates of infection than even the standard practice control group of health workers" but they say that health care workers should follow guidance.
Sure, this takes "[cos(x)]^2 + [sin(x)]^2 = 1" off the list, but doesn't it require you to put "cos(-x) = cos(x)" and "sin(-x) = -sin(x)" on it, to get "(cosθ-isinθ)" from "e^(-iθ)"?
It depends on what you're comparing: A14 on phones have a Multi Core score which would be quite comparable to Snapdragon 888 (extrapolating a 20% boost over SD865) that was just announced all while A14 being clocked higher (3.0ghz 4 core vs 2.84 x 1, 3 x 2.4) comparing performance cores. Single thread OTOH Apple wins comfortably but I would suspect X1 to reduce the lead a bit. As for AI performance Apple claimed 11 TOPs, while Qualcomm claims 25 TOPs
What Mac user tries to use Edge...?

This Mac user, having just discovered that there's a macOS version of Edge. TIL...

EDIT: well, you're off to a good start, Microsoft:

Instead of a browser, I guess I installed demons. I wish they'd get this shit right. MS Teams always has this notification window hiding in the background so that whenever one alt-tabs to Teams the window doesn't actually have focus and your typing goes to /dev/null. And now their browser does this "fit-and-finish" crap that few muggles will parse.
interesting project! I like how all the information and context can be organized around a task
Over Thanksgiving the Austin mayor filmed a video from a hotel in Cabo telling everyone to stay home because it was too dangerous to go out.

Sure, bud, that'll make people believe you believe your own messaging.
Little bit Offtopic: From a Dev perspective how TimescaleDB is better/worse than regular postgresql?
Wearing a mask is the only halfway feasible change that has an effect on virus spread that enough people are willing to do in the US. The virus is largely under control in other countries, but they were able to enforce much more draconian measures.
It's not a simple growth curve though. Yesterday was the first time we surpassed the daily peak from April. There was a surge in April, then a smaller brief peak in June, then a smaller slower surge in August, and now we're peaking even higher than any of those.

Edit: While deaths yesterday are only a little above the deaths from the April peak, cases yesterday are 6 times as high.

The poor App ecosystem was a direct result of poor timing. There isn't anything they could have done differently in mid 2010 to improve on that.
But no more smallpox deaths. It is possible.

Crime free can happen without laws.
Well if it was important, wouldn't an initiative to rectify it be underway then? Or, might there be a flaw in one of my premises? I only hold these because they seem to be the same premises advertised by other people.
Excited to be able to share this with everyone today! A lot of hard work has gone into getting M3 to 1.0, so this represents a major milestone. In getting to this point, we've focused quite a bit on stability and resilency, performance improvements (most notably during bootstrapping), and ease of configuration. All of these changes are aimed at ensuring M3 provides you the bulletproof, high performance experience one would expect of a production grade metrics engine. For more information on what went into the release, take a look at the changelog (https://github.com/m3db/m3/releases/tag/v1.0.0).

Thank you to the open source community and everyone who has been involved in getting M3 to 1.0! We're very excited for M3's future!
If premature optimization getting in the way is the norm for the projects you helped then I'm afraid that the people who crated them before that might not be as smart as you imply.

A "smart" and/or a "senior" programmer knows not to optimize prematurely.

But maybe I latched only on this one sentence and missed your point. Sorry if that's the case.
This is a minor pet peeve of mine so apologies if I come across as rude, but the word 'codes' is a linguistic error (particularly prominent in indian coders for some reason, but also common elsewhere).

The word 'code' when applied to computer source code has no plural.

This is in contrast to other uses where it does have a plural, like in "Nuclear Codes", or "Codes of conduct". In this capacity, it refers to codes as a collection of 'individual code items' (i.e. symbolic representations that map to practical functionality) that can be thought of as countable items in a bag.

However, when used to denote things like source code, or morse code, it is an uncountable singular noun. It is wrong to say "I sent a message using Morse Codes". In this sense, 'code' is similar to sugar, fruit, fish, etc. Note that sugar, fruit, and fish also have this distinction that the word has a plural form, but the plural is only used to denote 'different varieties of', as opposed to a large number of sugar molecules, a large number of otherwise identical fruit items in a basket, or a large number of individual fish of the same type.

Obviously you can't change the website now just to correct a silly grammar mistake, since that would cost money, but ... arrrgh.

Other words often mistakenly used in the plural when they shouldn't:
- Advice: Let me give you some advice (not some advices)
- Practice: You need more practice (not practices)
- Exercise: You lack exercise (not exercises - 'exercises' means a collection of individual exercise items, not an increased quantity of exercise)
- Text: You need to add more text (not texts - 'texts' means a number of text items, e.g. "this appears in many texts")

etc.

Like let's imagine tomorrow everyone she'd all of their sexist and racist and other ist tendencies both conscious and unconscious. Wouldn't these people be out of a job, and as we continue to be a more and more equal society won't these positions have less and less work Todo? Because if they are doing their job they should be solving the very problem they were brought in to counter.

If that was my job, I'd be over the moon that I was successfully making myself redundant. I'd happily find myself a different career, proud that I made a dent in a worthwhile and difficult problem, and fulfillment is much harder to come by than money.
There is no alternative, and probably will not be another. HN is a result of optimistic hacker culture with big dreams for success and tons of useful info and people. Ideological and practical Impact of HN on my career (18 years +) is enormous, it is on pair with early Google, INFOQ, Nielsen Norman Group. We live in different times now, innovation is hard, most of the valuable users don't have free time to post and I understand this. You can still extract value from HN, but with more friction and effort.:)
I agree, it’s time we stop pushing words like “cacti” and just accept the inevitable English-ication of words and say “cactuses”.

This is a tangent to the article, but along these lines people love correcting “octopuses” as “octopi”, but “octopus” isn’t a Latin word, it’s Greek, so the “-i” ending isn’t correct.
> the price of chains and slavery

Wow! Did he really liken his situation and lot in life as a free white man in colonial America, to actual slavery?

This is the first I’ve read of his entire speech.

Meanwhile, the actual black slaves were still physically chained, and denied their own freedoms.

Geez! The irony.
There is plenty of lithium for EV’s. Existing mines are enough for ~1 billion cars, however raw lithium is currently well under 1% of the cost of a new Tesla so vastly more expensive mining options don’t really effect the economics much. The minimal amount of recycling would change dramatically as lithium prices increase.

PS: “battery grade” lithium is more expensive, but what changes isn’t the amount of lithium but removal of minor impurities.
Whoever the group is that has been spreading the whole anti-science trend this year is very active in this thread unfortunately.

I just got my T14s that I customized with 32GB, Ryzen 4750u (8c/16t), and the 400nit display (sadly lost the display lottery, but I didn't notice until I checked the part#). However, it took 60+ days to ship as I ordered it Sep 1st. I suppose the shortage of the Ryzen chips mean long delays for Lenovo laptops which are customized as opposed to the preconfigured variants. All of the preconfigured ones had the 250nit screen and 8-16GB however.
My wife voted for him. She thinks it's funny, because she's doesn't take herself seriously in the narcissistic way that has become fashionable online these days.

I love how we have to nerf the world instead of asking people to not be so desperate to be offended.
What do you expect me to cite to show that? I worked there and saw it for myself. That's the citation. But really, do you doubt it? It's a company that talks constantly about how hard it tries to boost the number of women and blacks working there. Firing them works against that goal.
I think media (especially social media) is to blame for a lot of what is going on. By lending a voice to irrationality, they sow confusion and resistance.
Are the experts experts or are the experts "experts"?

In my experience, security expert generally are honest about this and should, if anything, raise their voices more.
That's a good point the local variation. I think it's significant to note that for a while after the spike in the summer, the U.S. wasn't in a growth curve. A lot of people thought that the worst was behind them. This article shows that the current spike is now worse than the previous spike.

> to paraphrase Bjarne Stroustrup: "every ship gets barnacles as it ages"

Enough time has passed to firmly conclude that Stroustrup was wrong on that point. Other languages have withstood the test of time better than C++<11 and C++>=11 has dramatically improved the language by copying features from those other languages. C++'s issues were poor design choices, not simply some "maturity" force that causes a language to accumulate incoherent features.
I dunno, criminalize the incorporation of transactions from unidentified wallets in new blocks? Criminalize transacting with such wallets, or wallets containing funds sourced from such wallets? I'm confident that they can think of something, if they are sufficiently motivated.
I legitimately have no clue what you are trying to say. But it sounds very educated, so that's good I guess?
Microsoft SQL Server 2017 (and later) with Machine Learning Services already do in-database ML [1]. Models are trained, stored and invoked via stored procedures which call R or Python code (SQL is not the best language to do ML in).

The advantage of this approach is that data is never moved outside SQL Server or over the network. The downside I guess is that you need a pretty beefy machine to run the database server.

For uncomplicated ML applications, say a logistic regression over a few columns, this is a relatively easy approach to get results quickly. To me, the actual use cases of in-db ML are limited, but the one case in which I can imagine it being useful is performing live ML on a SQL view that has constantly evolving data -- you save ETL roundtrips to an external ML algorithm.

Why would physicists investigate that?
How about just dual any monitors? The GT 1030 only has a single HDMI 2.0B port and DVI which I haven't seen on a recent monitor in a while now. So 1 monitor connection from the last 10 years. And no display port connections, which is just wtf.
Having said that, now that I'm calm, nice work, this looks great!
ACG employee here so grain of salt, etc - but I paid for an ACG subscription long before I worked there.

My favorite piece of ACG actually isn't even the courses, but "Cloud Playground", which came over in the recent Linux Academy acquisition. [0] One-click AWS, Azure, or GCP sandbox environments. They're live for 4 hours on ACG's credit card and people sometimes assume they're just for doing course labs, but, like, you can use them for whatever. It's an end run around sandbox account procurement in a business context, or a safeguard against leaving an expensive resource running for personal experimentation.

Escrow has a precise legal definition—and while we don’t support straight-up “escrow,” Stripe recently added support to hold funds for up to 3 months. You can use Stripe Connect to manually control (in this case, delay) payout timing: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/manual-payouts.
I stopped to use smartphones in 2018. Since then I have a Nokia 3310 new model, with Facebook installed. However the wi-fi is turned on around 10 minutes per month, in best case.

What I've immediately observed after switching to the new phone that I'm receiving more precisely targeted ads. Before, on smartphone no adds were relevant, after the smartphone new adds were all relevant.

My guess was the phone / the cellular service company is listening me all the time, not just when talking on the phone.

To test it we've started playing games. Sitting with friends, we've used a predefined brand name very often in a conversation. Next day I've got the ads on the social media, on my laptop, I have no other internet device.

What I'm doing now? Not using the phone at all. Which means 1-2 daily quick conversation to set up places to meet. For long conversations I use email or messengers.

How do I feel? It doesn't bother me at all. I'm not paranoid. I know we are all sold since the blogging era begun. Right now what I can do is to make the lives who exploit data harder in this particular case.

Edit: My phone is Nokia 8110 4G, with KaiOs.
MS Teams
We have been ramping up our rollout of Stripe Issuing over time, and will do similar for Stripe Treasury. Can we have your email address? (You can email it to me at this handle at stripe.com) Depending on the specifics of your use case, we may be at general availability.

There are no particular revenue or scale requirements; we tend to roll out features to a few users across the spectrum because supporting users from startup-in-a-garage to publicly traded customers is what we do. We would be thrilled to talk about particular potential use cases; we do envision some B2B fintech applications would find the set of capabilities appealing. Just drop some details on the form and we'll be in touch.
Yes, people should wear masks.

But, as a European, I must say that the strong focus on masks on the other side of the Atlantic feels a little dangerous; over here the regions with a mask mandate have not fared significantly better than those without.

So here is the more complete CDC advice: "Wear a mask, stay at least 6 feet apart, avoid crowds, and wash your hands often."
> It's not about freedom though, it's just about discipline.

They see being told to be disciplined as an infringement on their freedom, so it is about freedom to them.
Aside from the tiring and asinine cliché that is "virtue signalling" (i. e. faulting someone for something universally considered to be "good"), your notion seems to be self-contradictory?

I'd also like to point out that this event itself contradicts your talking point about "it all being virtue signalling", since the person in question was indeed willing to risk quite a bit.
Data Mesh Principles and Logical Architecture
Many countries made serious short term sacrifices earlier in the year but are not back to normal now - including places like Korea, who've been consistently (and correctly!) praised as models of good pandemic response.
I think I agree with that article. I'm used to seeing "indices" in a mathematical context, referring to an object that labels a particular subobject of another object.

It seems a lot like the difference between "vertices" and "nodes" in a graph. Go to the math department, and you'll hear people talking about vertices. Walk down the hall to the CS department, and it's all nodes, all the time.

I have no idea why this is, but I suspect some kind of cultural thing. Maybe the CS term and the math term originated independently? Kind of like how you talk about machine learning in CS, but a good portion of ML would actually be classified as statistics by the math and stats departments.
There's an element of personal risk assessment that is allowed in American culture that you're not acknowledging.

Some people jump out of planes, others prefer to stay grounded. Some start companies and risk their life savings, others prefer the safety of salaried position.

Even when in agreement on the correctness of the data findings, our risk assessments and individual actions will very wildly.
Know your enemy as they say!

But in all seriousness I find it important and necessary to do due diligence before throwing big claims around like I did - if you can stomach it.

Nationwide in the US in 2020, 7,151 people under the age of 45 have died after Covid diagnosis. Under the age of 25, only 528 people have died.

During the same time period, over 50,000 people under age 25 have died from all causes:

There are bio-plastics(usually made from corn) that degrade fairly fast, the problem is they cost less than a percent of a cent more. This is really a thing where government subsidies that are forward thinking about the environment could help.
It absolutely does not. Most people who got it during Thanksgiving travel have only been feeling first symptoms in the past couple days. I fear for how bad things will get by Christmas. I only hope that enough people react appropriately to the spike we're about to see in the coming weeks, that there isn't an even bigger spike in early January.
Cloth mask != surgical mask.

Surgical masks are widely available and not solely for healthcare workers.
Apple's ARM SoCs are definitely ahead, but it's not like the competition is hugely far behind. Top of the line Android phones and tablets perform well enough for most desktop tasks IMO. It's mostly the software and I/O that makes them unusable as such.

As I said elsewhere in the thread, my wife voted for him, and finds my ribbing nicknames hilarious. She learned, like I did as a kid, that choosing to be offended by something is a weakness and a distraction.

It's as if it's become a currency of sorts now, where I can show virtue and get attention by calling someone else out for their gross misdeed of thinking that people are adults who don't need the world nerfed for them.

Clearly, I was wrong.
This is a bit harsh. Stripe's value add is handing you an API and doing all of the hard work behind the scenes, same as Twilio (integrating with far flung telco gateways with byzantine interfaces). It's not necessary for Stripe to handle payment flows or issue cards themselves. Success is if customers are willing to pay Stripe instead of wrangling all of those vendors together themselves (which sounds like a good bet to make).

Disclosure: Stripe CC processing customer, no other relation.

It doesn't even say that! There's no no-mask control group to compare against. (And FYI not all medical masks are N95, probably most aren't. It appears that the ones studied there are not N95 but rather the standard disposable surgical masks.)

standard practice control group of health workers

Would not standard practice be to wear proper masks?

Yes, here we go: "some subjects in the control arm wore surgical masks." And indeed, someone comments "The control arm had less than 1% of no mask use".
An emotional anecdote conveys the personal impact of an issue. It helps with empathy, something OP is not demonstrating. Statistics do back that it is possible for young people to die of COVID, albeit less likely than older people.

Nice try at trying to frame others who disagree. There's possibly many reasons its getting downvoted. The site is some aggregated stats and armchair analysis on cherry picked data.
Supposedly 8 hours running Windows but removing Windows was my first action; about 5 hours under Linux (running Pop_OS 20.10 with 5.8 kernel). Everything works great under Linux but the driverless fingerprint reader. Also you need to install manually a dkms for the Wifi, but everything's fine and fast afterwards (actually reaching 600 Mbps with Wifi).
This sounds like justification that some forms of racism aren't as racist as others. Sounds a lot like "separate but equal" reasoning. Disgusting.
