@Jabo: Great site. Some errors though, for example the "4 Ingredient Sauce for Roasted Lamb" says to use 12 cups of brown sugar. The source site has 1/2 cup (0.5), so I'm guessing it's a scraping issue. Wouldn't want to give someone diabetes with their lamb!
That's true in the case of Boston Dynamics. Definitely seems less true in regards to a company like Crunchy Roll though.
Low interest rates make M&A attractive. Its very similar to real estate investing and using existing property as collateral for new property purchases. There's a low barrier for the project to result in a decent IRR.
The first visible advantage of GUIX over NIX is the use of scheme language. But over here it is probably as esoteric as nix. It's funny to think that if they had settled on Javascript instead, they might have become instantly the next unicorn.
Which makes me wonder what happened to Guile's Javascript front end, and would it work with GUIX?
My thoughts after 3 hours on play, on Linux.

- Worked out of the box. Purchased the game on Steam, and ran it using Proton experimental (a version you can pick via Steam settings > Steam play > Run other titles with: "Proton experimental"). Running with a prior version of Proton throws a Qt error.

- The announcement mentions AMD cards but I have an NVIDIA GPU card and it worked just fine. I used the NVIDIA driver version 455.

- Changing graphics settings or switching windows cause major graphical artifacts, which are fixed restarting the game.

- Noticeable sound glitches sometimes, but the game is playable. Tried adjusting pulseaudio priority, a trick that helps with these kinds of issues sometimes, but it didn't work.

- Performance is more than OK for me, and I am not using 2020 hardware. I wouldn't try running on 4k + high graphic settings unless you have a high-end box.

- During these 3 hours, the game crashed twice.
But is it more likely for the virus to have undergone sufficient natural mutation from its closest known relative* (RaTG13) in order for it to have become both capable of and very effective at infecting humans (ACE2 receptors) and for it to have then been so carelessly disposed of from the BSL-4 Wuhan biolab that someone came into contact with it and became infected, or is it more likely for it to have been the product of the Gain-of-Function research on bat coronaviruses in that lab which the NIH began funding in 2014 due to the US-wide ban on Gain-of-Function research that lasted until 2017? [0]

Consider the fact that lab safety protocols are designed to contain pathogens, which creates very poor conditions for viruses to naturally evolve and transfer zoonotically, whereas Gain-of-Function research has the express aim of creating ideal conditions for evolution which is both directed and can proceed many orders of magnitude faster.

*Also, there's plenty of doubt as to whether RaTG13[1] actually exists; we just have the RNA sequence and we're currently just taking Beijing's word for that.

It would be nice for the environment and the Chinese people if they pursued reuse more. Landing the 1st stage is a lot better than dropping it on top of a village and exploding... as part of a normal and successful launch.

No, I'm not kidding.

I had some crashes that were fixed by lowering some settings, and still a crash every so often where I have to kill the game, then restart steam. Small price to pay to play something on linux I've been looking forward to so much.

I see their standards to be just about the same with Russian state propaganda channels. If you'd seen them both you'd be amazed with the similarity. Unless,of course, you would choose to overlook it - people often shield themselves from the information that doesn't fit their paradigm.
That sounds pretty fine then. I have zero expectations of any Stadia user getting anything once the service goes down.
I can see the articles, but personally can’t help but be a little suspicious.

The coronavirus pandemic, which started from a coronavirus in bats swapping species, started in the same city that happened to be actively researching the ability of coronaviruses from bats to swap species.

This doesn’t mean it was “non-natural genetically”, but I don’t see how we can eliminate it happening in the lab as a possibility, particularly considering if it was true there would be a large incentive to perform a cover up.

I mean personally I believe it starting in the lab is the more obvious answer applying Occam’s Razor.
Tesla better get with the program. Twice the distance and minimal safety concerns with a 10 minute charge time. solid state batteries vs. lithium ion that Tesla uses.
" why don’t you object equally to people with megaphones intentionally flooding the zone with shit"

That analogy is simply incorrect. You can spend your life on YouTube watching cat videos, no conspiracy theory in sight. Nobody can force you to watch their video on YouTube. So nobody has a megaphone in YouTube. Only YouTube itself has the megaphone, they can choose what to push to people.

It is NOT TV where you have a single stream that everybody watched, and if you insert shit, everybody watches it.
Obviously not. But the set of harms that should reasonably be given as an answer to "why not?" is not equal to the set of all imaginable harms.
That is about the primary, not the presidential debate.
Westerners appear to under estimate how much the anime industry is about connections, yet its challenge going west has been for lack of users. Sony's consolidation is all about getting users.

Years back Bandai funded "daisuki" anime, which folded. In fact I worked in the same office as the executive who needed to fold down that division. Daisuki failed due to lack of users, not content. Likewise Sony tried a home spun distribution platform too, and folded it as well.

Now years later with all that industry experience in hand Sony is moving in and consolidating. Bandai is licensing their stuff to Netflix domestically, as is Sony. Yet those contracts can switch in a moment if a domestic conglomerate secures the users. Sony appears to be making those moves and could establish Japan's strongest beachhead in the streaming wars.

Japan cannot compete with Americans easy access to Hollywood negotiations, but likewise a Japanese platform should have strong negotiations securing anime.
Do you seriously believe that the courts are simply not letting the Trump team make their case? That they tried to submit evidence but they couldn't?

You really need to evaluate your news sources.

In Pennsylvania Rudy Giuliani said in court that there was no fraud when he was questioned in the slightest about his claim of widespread voter fraud.

“this is not a fraud case.”

Of course, they failed to provide evidence too, not even any of those affidavits.

Surveillance doesn’t physically harm anyone, either, but does that also reduce conscious suffering in the long run? Sibling comments are right: physical harm != harm.
Which only tells you who was there at any given time. And I doubt that data is correct, we had multiple cases where people lied on the forms. And then you still don't know where they caught it. It only tells officials who to call. They is always a huge margin of error. And that is when contact tracing is working at scale. German authorities basically gave up on it because there are too many cases.
Same here, but still I used gmail too long.
> If you write a library, you need to support several export types for node packages.

This is a hassle, but didn't used to be true for node - you could say the same as all the above for commonjs, wasn't it nice to have a single opinionated standard.

In the short term, deno avoids this by dropping backwards compat, great! But in the long term, I don't see how it doesn't end up in exactly the same place as soon as the next big change to JS modules comes out, or the next new build environment or wasm integration becomes bigger or...

Unless they have a fundamentally different strategy for the future (either 'we will never evolve' or 'we will evolve with ecosystem-wide breaking changes') they're going to end up in the same state as node today, eventually. I haven't seen any discussion of such a strategy at all. It's just a temporary reset - unlike node, they get to break backward compat and support the One True Format because they're new, that's all.

It's like when you see an official's nephew get a plum job at a large corp. Sure, it's possible that they legitimately got there on their merits, but if you give them the benefit of the doubt then you'll get taken for a ride by the bad actors, and you don't have the time or ability to check the details.
What makes it even more perplexing for me is that most companies require you to sign an arbitration agreement, which significantly reduces both the cost of a legal conflict as well as the risk of an extreme verdict being rendered.

And yet, my perception is that companies often resist terminating problem or unproductive employees due to the perceived risk of being sued.

Discriminating against a member of a protected class is against the law, so perhaps they are worried about being accused of that?
No.

Dang, please do not change the UI.
With a twenty year rule we could be arguing about hanging chads right this moment!
> Frances Watson, the chief investigator for the secretary of state’s office

We investigated ourselves and found no wrong doing.

The Secretary was DIRECTLY involved in the purchase and deployment of the Dominion machines. He is refusing any signature audits. He is now being sued by GA Legislature members.

Despite what FactCheck dot org says (and how could that possibly not be trustworthy!?) I don’t think a statement from this office is going to sway anyone.

How about this, here is footage from a GA official showing just how ridiculously insecure and awful the dominion software is.

This changed my opinion on the whole mess:

I've been on the internet for 23 years and I have never been forced to watch an anti-vaxxer's video. Your theory that by producing lots of videos they subvert lots of people is simply wrong.

It's the same fallacy as with the "Russian Bots" election conspiracy. Just because you can create lots of content, doesn't mean you can make people watch it.

Your comment being ironic does not depend on whether you support Trump or not. You're arguing against Trump opponent's with a phrase that describes Trump's actions to a tee. You might abhor him with all your heart, it's still ironic.

You're the one misrepresenting what I've said. I'm not ok with a corporation "dictating to the internet which sides of a political debate are allowed to exist" and whatever else you're accusing me of. I'm telling you, widespread fraud is not "quite clearly in dispute".
No such argument is possible at the time they made the bet. If such an argument is possible, there wouldn't be a bet, because the other side would have been persuaded (or very foolish).

Simply put, they guessed; it's a gut feeling.
They probably will choose the latter one, because the butcher is talking to the nerve cells. A nerve cell cannot speak for the cells that are ultimately harvested. To make it ethical, the nerve cell has to choose the suffering, to at least join the fate of all the crushed other cells. Because one way or another, billions of living cells are killed.

But you can turn this also the other way round: If we are all, humans, cows and trees, ultimately one living creature, why should we worry more about dying cows than we worry about our dying skin cells or dying white blood cells that defend us? We are killing more awareness by drowning our attention in cheap entertainment and we are enduring more suffering by not delivering food to the starving children, and adults around the world.
Vegans are typically 100% ok with human milk consumption in the context of breast feeding, that's the closest precedent I can think of.
As rjn said, it is also a way to lure players to Linux. I've personally switched three weeks ago, and I'm not looking back: every game I want to play works, ranging from almost flawlessly to just perfect. All thanks to Proton, and of course the decades-long efforts of Wine.
so scientists are working on changing who you love based on drugs. How is that so much different than gay conversation therapy?
Are you saying nobody should report about the claims? Only the courts, nobody else should here about it?

Reporting about it on YouTube does not mean it will be decided on YouTube.
The video shows us the wreck site at the end. The rocket is mostly one piece though damaged by hitting the ground too fast and from a (relatively minor) explosion.

It must be possible to find most pieces, and certainly check the engines, even deformed, for overburn signs.
PHP, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, even Java and C# didn't (don't?) have a mainstream way to create a single binary with unused code and unused dependencies removed.

Dynamic linking was cool because you could use system dependencies which people don't want to use because you can't rely on them, especially for cross platform apps and also for efficiency, RAM (which people stopped caring about) and, disk space (this boat sailed a loong time ago) and compilation (we have 10000x as powerful computers now).
I think he's a bit of a prick too.. but seriously, this isn't how HN works. If you're not a linguist or in stats then the critique is at best third hand, and basically common knowledge sour grapes. (All of the ego scientist stuff makes me mad, but I try to keep away from that)
The purpose of a test is to gather the data you need to improve. Scientists and engineers constantly start tests knowing it will most likely "fail". Actual failure would be a test that didn't produce any data.
But they are tested regularly. Each production is also supposed to have a dedicated person to handle Covid-19 compliance with final authority on such matters and separation/segmentation of bubbles/zones for those that closely or without masks and the rest of production.

They're in essence, supposed to work in as much of a bubble as they can whereas you cannot say the same about a restaurant. It's an unfortunate situation, but they really are quite different.
I agree.

Often intelligent academic people can justify almost anything using their toolset of theories from different fields when they intuitively feel something is right. That intuitive feel is what really matters most anyway
Hi sigmaprimus, Thank you for your feedback.

I didn't get if you are responding as a marketing expert. My struggles at the moment are trying to take far away from my business from the multi-level business model which I hate for many reasons, mainly because it's associated with Ponzi schemes.

The law is clear about when an activity is a multi-level business rather than a Ponzi Scheme, "an activity might operate with a multi-level structure when the source of commissions paid to its affiliates come from the selling of products or service/s. If the flow of commissions is derived from an admission charge (to enter as a member of the structure) we are in front of a Ponzi Scheme.

Is interesting to know that Amway and similar multi-level marketing business bypass this subtle difference between charging for a service or a product and an admission fee selling information to its affiliates. For me that is a despicable fact; I can conceive the selling of information in the era of information. But it another relative point of view.

In any case, in interesting to understand your arguments or feeling about the business model I'm going to start to apply. People don't need a CS degree to understand the power of exponential algorithms, but also for C Scientists is hard to understand why exponential growth (based on multi-level marketing) is not a bad thing itself.

If you are interested to see the number behind of the product I want to offer might present it to you without interest to close a sell with you. As I said before I'm interested in your argument and feeling because I want to understand how to prove that this common misconception is a just biased clichè.
ah, the "gentleman scientists" of whom we hear so much when learning scientific history.
"Even at scale, not all financial technology companies manage their own ledger. Many don’t."

This was surprising for me to hear. Yes, it's a lot of work to build and manage your own ledger, but I'd think it's a core capability at FinTech?

When I worked at Uber, we built/managed our own ledger there. Operating with dozens of PSPs, many of them settling in bulk, on a less frequent basis, I'm not sure it would have been feasible not do so so.

From an outsiders perspective, even in HN there have been people saying that if you didn’t like SF then you are just not enough sophisticated nor enough out doors to appreciate it so I can definitely understand where the smugness talk is coming from. But I think it’s a necessary smugness if that makes sense, if you want talent to gather to a specific place you have to be ruthless in marketing for that place, but of course that will create a backlash when people actually visit.
It's really strange to me, that we have a vaccine, but we don't have real, deep insight into where transmission really do take place. What public transport for example where people usually don't talk. What about workplace meeting rooms. I would want money spent on researching transmission pathways in depth.

> special in the universe

This is such a weird qualifier to me. Why wouldn’t you think this? We’re the only beings capable of so many things that others can’t even begin to comprehend. Even if you think other beings are capable of achieving certain higher tiers of life (or however it is you define “special”), we’re the only ones that actually can; of course we’re special. So yeah, is it ethical to consume the literal highest level of evolution and dominance of life we’ve ever seen?

The location based nature really enhances the convenience. Also the connection with Facebook messenger and the fact that your camera is attached to the phone with the app. Like, I think if you decided to sell something right now and don't know anything about Marketplace then you could have an ad up within 3 minutes. It's sometimes even more convenient than throwing things away.

In my noob understanding, Salesforce overpaid on the acquisition for a couple of reasons:

1) They are desperate to continue growing and need acquisitions to do so

2) They believe Slack is their best bet to boost their revenue in the coming years

In saying that, the asymmetry is the markets each of them serve though. Are majority of Pakistani's serving B2B customers with a SaaS? No, and so the profit/revenue generation is different.
Geforce Now, due to developer/studio backlash, removed the ability to play most AAA titles. No Rockstar, Bethesda, etc. The only big name I can think of that remains is Ubisoft.

I think the full analogy is something akin to "He'll knock over all the pieces, shit on the board, and strut around like he won." Which is quite the mental image and fits perfectly.
It drives me nuts that people think the right way to teach cryptography and "cryptanalysis" (I'd say: cryptographic vuln research) is stuff like differential and linear cryptanalysis, or, for that matter, index calculus. Practically nobody is going to use that stuff; it's just the stuff that's been in textbooks for 20 years, and so people assume they need to teach it.

How far into this do you get before you learn how CBC bitflips work? Trick question! It's never covered. The cryptanalysis slides are from 2013, sure, but CBC padding oracles were already passé by then.

It just makes me feel like people aren't taking the subject seriously. Which is how a lot of this courseware reads to me! A recitation of random facts.
Not strictly an ethical vegan, but I wouldn't eat meat cultured from anything.

Eating cultured meat from an animal seems no worse than normal meat, but eating cultured human meat seems straying into cannibalism. I'm sure there are reasons other than health for why this is not more popular.
