But as a marginal system only taxes the income above the cutoff at the higher rate, you would still make more money.

For example, you are making $99k and paying 4% (pretty close to many state income taxes) on that with the next bracket at $100k with a 6% rate. You get a raise to $110k which means you are making an additional $10360 after tax and only paying an additional $200 in tax (4% vs 6% on that $10k). I don't see why you need a 40% increase.

Sparky on K8s Cluster
Sparky is a lightweight CI server written on Raku. It uses Bailador for UI and Sparrow/Sparrowdo as an automation engine. Initially the server was written to be run on a single machine and did not scale well. So it only could handle a small/medium load, mostly working in localhost mode.

Now, with the help of k8s cluster Sparky could be easily turned into industrial scale CI server ...

Revenue and profit measure the total income of a business, not just one discrete business deal.

If they stop making, marketing, and selling hundreds of millions of iPhones Google would probably stop paying them for default search status.
Interesting, but it looks like an external dependencies, not something that's installed by default :-(
Google's search revenue accounts for around 95% of it's top line revenue.

Google’s ability to protect its core revenue stream is squarely in the “not impacted” category when it comes to Apple's IDFA move.
Different types of social networks out there...but for the ones that are about real relationships, it is simple. I have a core set of friends I want to see everything they post (that is shared to me), and then I probably have another tier in which I am fine with some algorithm filtering to some degree, or placing in a larger newsfeed.
In 2019 I went on a solo biketour and it involved a lot of nigths in a tent. While campgrounds were rather cosy as just the knowledge that others are there brought me comfort, some wildcamping spots were much more unsettling. For me it was a fear of the wilderness and just hearing some noises in the middle of the night was... tense. Such nights were usually on high alert and quite restless.

Practical AI: Autonomous Driving with Drago Anguelov of Waymo
> Human on Human interactions, which are required for the majority of employment, employ game theory to ensure that your pay is below your value.

Sure.

But now we're talking about “in practice” not “by definition”.
All you need to do is write "press" in sharpie somewhere visible on your person and upload cell phone videos to youtube, twitch, dlive, etc. to be considered a "journalist" in 2020. Maybe set up a venmo/cashapp account. That's what the vast majority of live streamers in Portland do covering the riots, and most who were arrested were breaking the law. There are many more "livestreamers" than accredited journalists who work for actual newspapers, magazines and tv news stations.

It would be interesting to know how many people working for actual "major publications" were arrested vs self proclaimed "journalists" streaming or uploading to youtube. I witnessed many, many livestreamers being arrested over the last 7 months of ongoing riots/unlawful assemblies. I don't think I ever saw anybody from the local news stations/news papers being arrested.

The livestreamers who were arrested were violating the law.

1) participating in de-arresting someone (when the police are physically detaining someone, others will physically attack the police to set the person being arrested "free")

2) throwing objects at police

3) Not leaving the scene of a declared riot/unlawful assembly when lawfully told to do so. They are usually warned multiple times through the LRAD system with at least 15-30 minutes forewarning.

Most arrested were actually actively participating in the riots and not just passively recording/reporting. They also routinely purposefully turn their cameras away when people who they are favorable towards are committing crimes so there is no evidence and chant "what did you see? We didn't see shit" over and over.

Journalist Andy Ngo (https://twitter.com/mrandyngo) routinely posts their arrest records and what the arrest charges were, and often video of what they did when arrested. Most charges are dropped by the local DA. Most are also immediately bailed out if actually charged using a $1.4M bail fund (https://www.gofundme.com/f/pdx-protest-bail-fund and that's only 1 fund of several) set up by the National Lawyers Guild. Basically they'll only actually charge you if you committed arson. They even drop charges of physically attacking police officers unless it's particularly egregious and well documented.

As you can probably tell, I strongly disagree on who they are claiming are journalists. I don't think anyone from KOIN/KGW/Fox/The Oregonian/New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Time or any other major publications were arrested in Portland during the riots. They tend to be lawful while gathering their source material.
Does anyone know how Signal makes money?

My lead in was half-facetious. Yes this isn't being marketed for all medical records, but it still demonstrates the widespread attitude of the medical industry asserting arbitrary control over your body while stripping your own agency.

But yes "developing nations" is a convenient excuse to dial the paternalism up to 11. Presumably the people there are still people, who can remember facts, retain paper records themselves (eg vaccine cards this article so quickly dismisses), and have identities for keeping local paper records and digital ones in the capital. If you still think tattoos would be a worthwhile addition, then every patient still needs to be given an individual choice, preferably with visible ink to maintain informed consent.
This might be a collective defense mechanism: if it's destigmatized, many people might no longer feel the need to enter long-lasting relationships, and birth rates - already low in Western countries - might decrease even more.
How many 'journals' actually resort to legal action (or even threats thereof) against law enforcement organizations? I would guess the press usually use negative coverage as a sort of retaliation when they feel wronged.

I have nothing against either lawsuits or journalistic retaliation, but I think the latter may be ineffective in this polarized environment, when websites and papers have taken hard stances.
> I sometimes wonder had Apple not been such an arse with its App Store and monopolistic rules. Would these regulations ever come up.

Nah these regulations were always coming. Everyone always likes to pick on Apple and the App Store, but quite frankly in the EU (where iPhones market share is only 24% compared to 49% in the US) Apple is small fries compared to companies like Facebook which basically owns 100% of social media.
Some people are just orders of magnitude more intelligent than I ever was. This is truly impressive.

Interesting. Why is Committee to Protect Journalists not showing that in their dataset? They seem to include USA in the Country dropdown list. Is it because they were arrested and not imprisoned?

I've commented fairly heavily in the related Grafana thread.

Prometheus is a bit of a different story. It does have some operational overhead when you get to a certain point, and scaling it out is not always trivial.

Assuming it works, there is value-add on this one, and the pricing is more in line with active use (ie, a cost+ model, which is more typical of AWS services)

>"this site will only cover individuals who self-identify as journalists and have some track record of journalistic work"

They're saying that they use journalistic work as a standard of who's a journalist... that's circular.
It would be better if that context carried over to this document.
I have diabetes. For me, pasta is in the "normal" range.

"Fast" -- candy, soda, etc. Hits in 20 mins and is gone in 2.5 hrs.

"Normal" -- pasta, a sandwich, rice, etc. Hits in 30-45 mins and is gone in 4/5 hrs

"Slow" -- high fat foods, peanut butter, meats, etc. hits in ~2h and is gone in 7-9

Made a little chart (†). The area under those curves is the same for the same g of carbohydrate but the shape is different.

The thing is, pasta is heavy. Compared to most meals it's dense and almost pure carbohydrate. So if you have even a little bit of insulin resistance you will definitely feel it.

Then there's alcohol, that lives in the complete opposite corner: a shot of vodka hits in the "fast" category but then actually lowers the BG later on.

I would guess that problems arising from the types of "premature optimization" that the article talks about are more likely to be attributed to the beginner who knows just enough to fancy themselves as an expert rather than actual experts.

How to Compliment
There's a lot in OG Firefly which wouldn't get a PG rating. Killing people nonchalantly. Stabbing people with swords (with blood). Drug references. The enslavement of River Tam (and her appearing au-naturel in the pilot as a minor). Discussion about grenades being hidden in apples. Frank discussions about the horrors of war, and the psychological impact they have. Self mutilation. Torture.

A lot of what makes Firefly good is how the characters stand out and do good in a realistically amoral world.

Twitter acquires video app Squad
> On one side, the death of traditional journalism really has opened up folks' eyes to bias in reporting. Having one or two main-stream news sources really opens up the possibility for bias becoming truth.

This is not what I see happening. Instead what happens is people see news they disagree with and deem it biased. So they find a news outlet that they agree with and decide that’s the real news.
The SNES, unlike e.g. the Genesis, had a really heavy history of using add-on chips on carts. In fact, its entire architecture was very specifically designed to permit and encourage this, which is why e.g. the Genesis 32X had to intercept the video out port on the Genesis, but Super Nintendo carts could just bolt-on a SuperFX/Cx3/SA-1/what-have-you and go about their merry way. (Even the the unreleased Nintendo PlayStation would have been able to directly interface with the existing hardware, not do the 32X route of video interception.)

Where you may be making a valid point is that I don't know how many people outside the dev scene know how common cart-based extra CPUs were. But doing this feels entirely in the spirit of how development on the SNES actually worked, even at the time--and as someone who's done some SNES development work, I knew from the headline alone roughly how it would necessarily be implemented. The closest analog I can think of would be like seeing a blog post, "calling native Win32 from pure JavaScript," and then being disappointed that ffi was involved. That's literally the only way it could possibly work in the first place, so of course that's what it is going to have to be about.
> quite a big step in assuming control over the lives of residents.

Have you heard of laws and governments before? This is exactly what they do, it’s also why democracy is such a big thing.

If you’re gonna give that much power to an organisation, you want to make sure you can change it if start going off the rails.

> The EU didn't create its citizens (unlike Apple which created its products);

It might not have “created” it’s citizens. But it certainly created and maintains the environment that make those citizens wealthy and capable of being a market for Apple.
Let me be upfront about my bias: Since childhood I felt that TV commercials were a form of assault, assault on the mind. (So it wasn't too surprising to find out that it's literally the domestic use of war propaganda techniques. it's feels like assault because it is assault.) So, FWIW, I'm in favor of banning advertising more-or-less comprehensively. (And, yes, I realize that that sounds terrible to a lot of people for a lot of reasons. I'm not trying to persuade you that it's a good idea. That would be hypocritical, wouldn't it?)

Anyhow, if you go look at the Wikipedia entry for "Neurolinguistic Programming" you'll see that it's coated in warnings that it's a pseudo-science. So that's where we stand today in re: state-of-the art persuasion technology. Most folks have never heard of NLP, many that have are openly skeptical (verging on hostile) and some people have entered into the Information Revolution proper. (Meaning they know and use this body of knowledge.)

Given that we have allowed software to fall under patents, and that this knowledge constitutes the software of the mind, I'm reluctant to have it "go mainstream". I'd hate to imagine patent wars over IP that is essentially just structured thought...

On the other hand, ignorance of the "operating system" of the mind causes unspeakable suffering. (I myself was cured of severe depression, just to add a personal, anecdotal, note.) And the differential between folks who know and folks who don't is also problematical. That would seem to argue in favor of rapid and widespread dissemination.

Then there's the problem of the self-referential nature of persuasion and the limits thereof: can you limit persuasion if I can persuade you not to? Either persuasion tech doesn't work and so the laws are unnecessary, or it does work and can be used to affect its own regulation.
Look at VictoriaMetrics (and the related products vmalert and vmagent) for a much easier and pleasant experience as a drop-in Prometheus replacement.
Maybe it is a good look with purple hair?
That's a circular argument.

Why are the police giving orders to people at all? If they think they're committing a crime, arrest them. Otherwise, leave them alone.
Does it matter that some protestors were former convicts or that there were many citizen journalists involved? Journalists aren't always neat and professional with full crews carrying expensive equipment. There's always been a large contingent of unaffiliated people with cameras hoping to sell footage to media orgs, ever since photojournalists became a thing.
I've come to realize this: free markets of winner-take-all products are a losing game for Europe. We're too late to the game, we can't compete with these huge companies, and there's no way to catch up in terms of venture capital. There are structural difficulties, namely that there are 50 very different countries on this continent with completely different languages and cultures. There is no way we can support massive tech companies such as Google, even if they would arise here as startups.

As such, the only reasonable thing to do is to slowly ween ourselves off American tech in favor of letting our our own grow, just like China did. They probably won't be as good, but unless we want to be completely dependent on a foreign power for all our IT, we have no choice. And really, we have no obligation to let American companies pick the fruits of our markets out of some weird sense of "fairness" of free markets. The world is not fair. Of course, there will be retaliations, but for any non-IT tech there are local or Chinese substitutes.

They arrest everyone then later can say oh oopsie journalist we let him go.

It's still an obvious authoritatian intimidation tactic and information suppression tactic to be throwing these people in jail and letting them wait sometimes days for the situation to get sorted out.
It might not help you, but the link is working for me.
Well I think you almost nailed the point - when the police declare a riot, and start rounding everyone up who doesn't disperse, the media gets rolled up with that as well many times - especially if you are livestreaming via a gopro and not with a NBC news truck (though we saw journalists with institutional backing get hit with rubber bullets this year as well)
The officers who wish to intimidate the media exist. But there are also officers who realize this is a very, very bad idea

We are supposed to have a rule of law because we can't rely on the beneficience of individuals. The fact that there may be good cops doesn't change the fact that, by and large, they act as if they are above the law because they in fact are. The reluctance of prosecutors and juries to address even clear police misconduct is well documented.
Also, 10% overall probably means a much higher share in some countries. Doesn't seem like a crazy threshold.

Reading this whole thread makes me wonder if such internal dialogue is correlated with a sensitive fight or flight response (on which I can also relate) and anxiety. When I practice daily meditation, limit my computer/phone/internet usage, I find that both tend to subside, so maybe there is something to it, although the cause and effect could all be tangled up here.

One definitely should not be frustrated or worrying about being in the moment! I agree that it is all normal in the sense that one shouldn't be worrying about any of these habits. It's just that for me it was a revelation when after many many years I realized that I do not have to have/follow internal dialogues and that they may actually causing me tension and anxiety.

When you use a service that is funded by advertising, the service only gets that funding because the advertisers trust that they are getting their ads in front of real users.

Ad spend as a percentage of GDP has been surprisingly constant for the past century. IOW, companies do not spend more on ads just because they can better target their potential customers, nor will they spend less if they lose that ability.

Show HN: Cotter – Authenticate and authorize users without passwords in Next.js
Hey I am not saying police misconduct is not a problem. I would like to see some police reform myself, I myself have been a victim of unfair policing despite growing up white and middle class.

I can agree that police misconduct happens, while also say that many of the journalists in Portland covering the protests are literally there participating in protesting as well by virtue of what they are doing and what they say. I can also say this while respecting the work they are doing as journalists (which is why I follow them). These are not mutually exclusive statements as far as I can tell.
Dude, that's freaking brilliant. Wanting to steal that one...

Impartiality is not a defining attribute of journalism. Having and expressing opinions (when not immediately involved in a scene), setting an editorial slant, and being embedded in events are not counter-journalistic practices. Journalists are “neutral” only in the sense that they seek to observe and not to alter the events as they unfold. In many situations this is not tenable in any absolute degree, but the independent journalists I've watched here in Portland over the past six months have overwhelmingly made their best effort of trying to stay out of the way of police and interact with people very much as reporters, taking in information and interviewing participants to solicit perspective and details.
