xmpp works, but barely. Some people will insist on you talking to them using otr, and other will insist on omemo. Multi-device kinda sorta works sometimes. If you have program 1, the other person has program 2 on phone and program 3 on computer, and the issue is also potentially with the configuration of server program 4 or 5, then it starts to get complicated when issues inevitably crop up. Some of which lead to messages just silently going missing, and you mistakenly think that your friend is ghosting you unless you have an out-of-band way to communicate.

Conversations doesn't display when your friends are online or not, which is fine if they are almost always online but if they are offline a lot, then depending on the server configuration and the phase of the moon, messages sent while offline go missing (silently of course).

EDIT: I think the only setup I could whole-heartedly recommend non-technical friends is Conversations talking to Conversations with Prosody default-settings server(s).
Any project where I as project operator cannot afford CI credits for the hundreds of pull requests people submit to me while presuming I can afford to provide them CI.
I wonder how much those differences in close areas matter because of people traveling locally for work, coming into contact with people from other areas, etc.
In the context of space launches, ridesharing means that multiple satellites share a single launch as opposed to the traditional 1 satellite 1 rocket approach.

All Starlink satellites have been launched via ridesharing missions, with ~60 satellites per launch (and sometimes with satellites from other companies!).
He was one of my earliest heroes. The movie "The Right Stuff" was released in 1983, when I was 12 years old. The movie and Yeager's autobiography, "Yeager, and Autobiography" were frequently consumed during my teenage years. I often watch the right stuff right up to that moment that the focus shifts away from Yeager.

I learned plenty from Yeager's story and his accomplishments. I admired how he became a pilot in WWII, as a "Flying Sergeant", how he worked to break the sound barrier, and how he sought combat commands in Korea and Vietnam.

Today, I am reminded of one minor anecdote that had a big impact. In the book, Yeager describes the treatment he used to avoid permanent burn damage from his F-104 accident in 1963. During college I crashed on my mountain bike and suffered road rash on the left side of my face. The ER doctor advised me that I should expect permanent scars. Remember Yeager's treatment for his face, I used the same (an alternating application of Vaseline and Hydrogen Peroxide). The treatment left me with no scars, just as it left Yeager with no scars.

The lesson for me is that we can learn valuable knowledge in unexpected places, but we have to seek it out. Having heroes, respected authors, interesting subjects, and/or a focus of curiosity is a great way to learn and become inspired. Chuck Yeager met many of these for me, from 1983 when I first found him, to recent years enjoying his Twitter feed. He was a larger than life legend who encouraged me to be more daring, and saved me from permanent scars.

Godspeed General Yeager
Why do you not agree with him?
This could be a case of supply creating its own demand.

I love this. In 1992, I bought a Kenwood stereo receiver, which I still have in my living room to this day, which you could program your radio station call letters into for your presets, and I noticed that after setting one of the presets to "KNBR" it switched to "KNBB". I assumed I made a mistake and corrected it, but a few days later I noticed it happened again. Assuming ASCII encoding, B is 0x42 and R is 0x52, so the difference is the single bit (and even assuming non-ASCII, the delta of 16 is likely still the same), so I experimented and determined that that particular memory location always eventually zeroed the 4th least significant bit, so all characters from P-Z would be shifted down to the corresponding character 16 positions less than it. Nowadays I don't really use the radio presets anymore, but I still like knowing the flaw is there nearly 30 years later.
from a financial perspective, the job comes with zero (or near zero) monetary risk.

The person risking "billions" in capital is taking "billions" in monetary risk (the weighting depending on what the investment is - bonds are less risky than shares, for example).

Yeah, that's why all the anti-maskers screaming at their rallies are waving around their guns and big signs that say "I reject Rousseau!"

It _does_ have political roots, though, so you're right about that. But it's much simpler than presuming a bunch of OANN viewers have read anything more complex than Ayn Rand.

The President didn't want to wear a mask in public, so he scorned mask-wearing - contrary to every public health directive - and now a significant portion of the populace refuses to take that incredibly simple step that has been proven over and over to dramatically reduce infection rates. That's it. It really is _that_ simple.
Not sure if this is still the case, but in the past multiple people from one household / coming to the drive-through testing place together were not get all checked. It was "one of you has symptoms, you all isolate; one of you with symptoms tests positive, you're all positive". (but not recorded positive) Which means the true cases number is at least tests x avg-people-per-household + asymptomatic people not tested + ...

The question is how long the free party at github actions will last. That must be a considerable drain for github's Microsoft internal budget.

I predict that will eventually end too as they aim towards profitability.
A witty quote from a white supremacist.
There aren't enough customers to justify building something like Starship, so SpaceX created their own biggest customer with Starlink.

They are also hoping to provide Earth-to-Earth passenger service to compete with airlines on long distance routes, which would be orders of magnitude more launches than any other use. It seems quite unlikely that they could compete on safety though.
His last tweet was professional and sort of sums him up in an eloquent, serene way.

Which big, visual, dramatic accomplishment are you talking about? Challenger or Columbia?
I agree. I don't quite understand what overall benefit something like Diem brings. It seems like an extraneous amount of technical overhead and yak shaving just to do something other companies have been doing for years. It just strikes me as some convoluted marketing ploy to attract VCs. All Facebook needs to do now is figure out how to throw AI into the mix and they'll win tech buzzword bingo.
You've summarized it inaccurately unfortunately. Taylor was part of the warrant, not simply because it was her address. This has been publicly put to bed:

"The connection with Glover is an important piece in this puzzle. The narcotics investigation was not just going after Glover, but several people believed to be involved in a drug trafficking ring. Police had reason to believe that Breonna Taylor had been involved because they believed that packages were being delivered to her apartment which Glover picked up and he said that she was in possession of several thousand dollars that belonged to him."

This is readily apparent in the warrant.

And another, just to clarify. [1]

I think you’ll find that there’s a common subset of classes that are used by most components, and that you quickly reach a point where adding new components hardly alters the built css file at all.
It's not like people had no idea about sharing stuff on the network before him, though. Tim Berners-Lee made the first web browser, but it was evolution of previous ideas and the third small step of a revolution, not a gamechanger by itself.
Except it was trivial to reproduce with the script on non-Apple devices, and people in one of the many Twitter threads surrounding this showed that on their Mac there was MANY tcp retransmits due to invalid checksums, and the bit-flipped packet did have the correct checksum.

https://twitter.com/KielO/status/1335640544496689152
Help me understand, are you saying only HTTP bits are being flipped? Because yea, if a HTTPS bit was flipped the whole packet dies. So is this issue blowing up all sorts of traffic everywhere?

It's supposed to be supported isolation. Gotta make sure people can make rent and eat and otherwise stay alive, or they're not going to stay home.
> What I believed back in May, and what I believe now, is the power and authority to control this pandemic lies primarily in your hands, not mine.

So it’s our fault? Some countries succeeded in crushing this virus because of efficient testing and contact tracing, incisive lock downs, and other measures which are put in place by public authority or institutions.

What a poor way to deflect blame for the incredibly poor job our government and institutions have done to protect us.

Sure, a lot of started from the top down, states need federal funding, and so on and so forth. But to basically tell people they are on their own, is so bad. This is a public health crisis, what authority and power do I honestly have?

It’s incredible that our public officials continue to deflect blame to try to distract from how embarrassingly bad our infrastructure was and still is for handling a crisis like this.
A great hero. I encourage anyone to read Chuck Yeager's autobiography. Besides breaking the sound barrier, he was a WW2 ace, and later flew fighter missions in Vietnam War after his test pilot days.
Cost per what? Per flight?
Obviously she's "a part of the warrant". It's her house. I don't know what "Clash Daily" is; I read the original source, which you provided. It comported with what I'd already read about the case, which is that Taylor wasn't the target of the investigation. See also the NYT's coverage, asserting that Jamarcus Glover was the target.
I am optimistic about the future of the human race.

I won't put a persuasive essay here, but just say, I am optimistic about it.
The article makes some good points about the contradictions in state policy, for example:

> That the State considers pro sports a critical infrastructure (essential) activity undermines this whole rubric in my mind. Pro sports is very nice to have and is probably a pleasant distraction. It is not essential. ...

This is bad for several reasons:

- sporting events involve close contact between participants

- sporting events draw crowds

- sporting events require infrastructure to service them (restrooms, food, parking, etc)

- the blatant contradiction encourages those who have been told to shut down to disobey the order
I don't trust the Iranian government to tell the truth but perhaps it's a poor translation for semi-auto AI turret.

Of course there is, ever ran an enterprise PBX and had to pay your telco for toll fraud after an extension and DID pair gets pwned? This still happens even in VoIP and SIP stacks.

So create it.

There's nothing more pathetic than HN space fanboys whining about not being entertained about recent space developments. It's not, and has never been, about you.

To add some things that are actually informative and constructive:

- Chuck Yeager did a fantastic job as an X-plane test pilot. Half of his colleagues died, and Yeager and most of the others were severely injured in accidents at the bleeding edge.

Stopping the X-plane program to focus solely on the space program was a huge mistake at the time, but has partially been revived. There is/will be a lot more research around the world into hypersonic flight.

- We're finally at the time when engines are as powerful as needed, and twice as efficient as 50 years ago (they improve on average 1% per year in terms of efficiency.) This is why narrow-body airliners like te A320 are being used for 8.5+-hour flights now.

- the challenge facing militaries today is how to defend against drones, as shown in the recent Syrian and Azerbaijan/Armenia conflicts. (Turkey supplied a drone with 50-pound missiles that can destroy tanks and radar sites.)

Would you mind expanding on what parts you like about Philly and why? I’ve been thinking about moving there but don’t see it mentioned favorably too often.
Ah, thanks for checking. There are a few other hypotheses then:

Testing volumes are low, meaning we fail to capture a sizeable chunk of cases.

The testing strategy is bad. We’re testing people that are less likely to be positive.

And possibly, the model is just wrong.
> the structure of our economy is, for the most part, if you don’t work, you don’t eat or have a roof over your head

I like that this is raised explicitly. There's lots of space for "lockdown with proper support" that the US is extremely unlikely to execute. But I don't think it's mentioned often enough that that's a possible direction.

Why React Hooks Are the Wrong Abstraction
I recommend his autobiography ("Yeager") -- it's briskly paced and readable.

US Military is used to training recruits to use high tech equipment, and had the pockets to buy hardware to sit around "just in case"
Truly one of the last of the old breed. Rest in peace General Yeager! To have have grown up in a world where ocean liners and steam locomotives were the primary means of long distance transportation to have experienced the cutting edge, making history along the way, then to have lived to see the modern age must truly have been wonderous.
As a developer I don't want to be on the cutting edge of hardware, then you get into telling the users to always get faster machines (like you have), new OSs, etc. Prefer to be near the trailing edge where the code is stable and software optimization really makes a difference.

Where do you guys see the benefits of you having newer hardware than your customers?
Same here. That game was amazing.
I feel this comment is in bad faith. I think you know what my actual point was but you’ve chosen to reply to a single line here.
Not only did it have one of the most aggressive and immediate responses to the issue, but for a long time we were relatively sheltered as the virus raged across the nation because these measures were highly effective, and people to a large degree listened.

He has been a straight shooter from the get go, including a while back when he said the State's orders didn't make sense because they were all or nothing for opening up and he felt that many indoor spaces were not safe to reopen.

Unfortunately, it seems much of his frustration stems from the fact that humans suck at nuance with things like this but are absolutely amazing at rationalizing anything.

I wish I knew who he was referring to specifically when he says things like:

"I may have a different view of the power and authority I have, as a function of my position, than some of my colleagues."

If they are elected, I want them out.

Ultimately, it is disheartening that the people who need to hear his message the most will not read his post.
I'm a kid of the 90's but my dad loves "The Right Stuff" so I grew up on that film. Such a cool story. Sorry to see he has passed.
That's exactly right. The harm to the economy is not caused by the countermeasures, it is caused by the disease. If you don't beat the disease, you wreck the economy.

An affair whilst she was a PhD student at Florida State University with an adult undergraduate. Charges filed, no conviction, on stalking and revenge porn charges.
They explicitly call out her car being at a different address, not her own, in the warrant. This implicates her with the other two. She is clearly a target of the warrant. You can find validation of this in the warrant and the follow on reports done by the police department. At this point you're pushing a false narrative pretty hard.
They do it to blacks and whites just about as much as each other. You don't hear about the random people much, just the special cases that are suitable for the news. Don't mistake press coverage for the actual distribution.
This is really cool! I would have loved to implement such a low latency video feed for one my past projects. How did you do the video feed?
I lived in Atlanta (starting from my GA Tech days) for over a decade and I've been in the South Bay for a few years. As much as I love Atlanta and the gigantic house I was able to afford, landscape-wise it doesn't even come close to what the bay area has to offer. Beltline is pretty neat but you will find it rather disappointing if you have ever been to one of the coastal trails in the bay. Not to mention the lack of skiing options (sorry but Gatlinburg ain't Lake Tahoe).
If anyone's looking for something to use for personal projects I currently use wercker and it's really easy to use (specify docker box, run commands) and has a free tier (but it's owned by Oracle so I still worry in the back of my head that they'll fuck it up any day now).

There's also Github Actions and Bitbucket Pipelines which I think are very similar in style, and also have free tiers.

There's also the "Raspberry PI in a closet" option, which I might explore over the Christmas holidays.

Dockerhub being free is something else I can't see lasting forever, their bandwidth costs must be immense? Although maybe they make enough from enterprise contracts to make up for it?
You say it is not possible, but it absolutely is as it has happened. There are countries in this world which have had community spread and then stamped the virus out entirely, like Taiwan and New Zealand have. There are countries which have been in as bad a situation as we are (like Australia and South Korea) and then gotten their numbers down to the point where TW/NZ were at their peak. So there is a pathway from rampant community spread to eradication.
Many Americans don't even make the effort to wear masks. What do you suppose the institutions ought to do with them in an incisive lockdown situation?
So are you bridged then or is it really a double nat?
If I'm not mistaken, your claim is that: In times of crisis, leaders need to clearly and succinctly convey direction.

This is generally a good rule to follow because we want to maximize compliance, and being anything but succinct defeats that goal.

However, this case is an exception to the rule because there's no action that requires compliance. The official is, in fact, asking for no compliance. Therefore, there's no need to be succinct. In fact, it's a great opportunity to build trust with the general public so that when compliance is required, you are able to achieve it.
For the same reason why ISPs are generally immunized from contributory liability that they would otherwise be completely buried in.

Now, if you had written JavaScript to detect and remove these ads, and they went around that, then you might be able to construct a DMCA 1201 claim and sue the ISP for circumventing what is legally considered DRM. Yes, JavaScript can be legally protected DRM. The law doesn't say it has to be good DRM, it just has to have the effect of controlling access to a copyrighted work. And the safe harbors the DMCA provides ISPs wouldn't protect them in this case.
