Glenn Greenwald seems to have a weird obsession with Russia not having anything to do with ops against the US.

And Matt Taibbi having a hardon for Hunter Biden. It's pretty clear that Hunter's board membership was a form of genteel, old school corruption, but focusing on that was clearly an attempt to replay the "buttery males" of 2016.

I think perhaps they might have been incentivized non financially (i.e., here's pictures of your loved ones at play -- you care about them right?).

I dunno. I'm an "independent voter" and I'm happy to harsh on any stupidity/corruption I see regardless of association.

But these are weird times -- there's a literal cult of personality around Trump and any sort of criticism is taken as a personal attack by those that worship him.

Let's see what gets uncovered with the new administration, shall we?
My approximate budget was $10 per year, not month! :)

This is incorrect. The idea of using HCQ didn't come from China but from a French doctor, nor did China ever promote using HCQ as a treatment. See the timeline for HCQ in connection with Covid [1].

If I recall correctly the 787 bypasses the use of bleed air and similar systems by using electrical power instead to pressurize the cabin.

That comes with its own set of interesting issues but I wonder if you could get some useful data from the fact that these events shouldn't occur on that plane.

History, ZIP and DNA already are personally identifiable information (PII). Pseudonymisation is in general not enough to avoid the GDPR and similar laws. And pseudonymisation would require the removal or obfuscation of all PII to the point that it is impossible to reconstruct the identity of the user.

There's no specific list of information regarded as PII, it's PII if it can be used to identify the user, even if only in combination of the other PII.

The GDPR is really quite broad there, other laws may be more lenient. However, the GDPR is not yet very strictly enforced or tested in court.

Really happy with Prefect for smaller workflows
If you are preparing in bulk then it's really 10 minutes * # meals, whereas if you cook, you could make 10 at once and the pre-prepped meals are ready in however long it takes to warm things up.

Also, many people don't live 10 minutes walking from a Chipotle. If it was a 15-20 minute drive instead of a 10 minute walk, cooking becomes obvious.
from tfa:

"One reasonable take might be that we’re stretching Python beyond what it was intended for. It works great for smaller teams on smaller codebases that can maintain good discipline around how to use it, and we should switch to a less dynamic language.

But we’re past the point of codebase size where a rewrite is even feasible. "

YMMV.
I didn't say it was trivial, just not a crazy amount! :-)

No doubt calories in/calories out must ultimately be obeyed, and you could w/ strictly controlled feeding achieve any weight you want by titrating calories, but I think people often misinterpret this fact to mean that any two isocaloric diets will result in the same weight; that's untrue because the "out" side of the equation is not constant -- different foods have different effects on your metabolism.

(And also appetite, which from a pratical perspective, is also hugely important -- most people don't rigerously eat X calories, they eat until they don't feel like eating anymore.)
Funny how everywhere in the manual, the letter 'O' has a strike-through (slash), while the digit '0' does not. I have seen lots of slashed zeros in my experience, but I've never seen the reverse.

Apologies. When I said "functions" I meant "pure functions" in the sense that you can call them anytime and don't need to consider any special rules. An example would be `Math.pow`.

Hooks are not _just_ functions, they are special functions where that (by the documentation) should not be called inside loops, conditions, or nested functions. These are severe restrictions compared to the "normal/pure" functions that I meant.
It's going to get interesting when climate change becomes even more critical - there's no easy way to kill Bitcoin now that the genie is out of the bottle in terms of miners competing for rewards around the world.

I'm curious to hear your list. I've read a lot of fantasy and IMO the vast majority of it is poorly written schlock. GRRM stands out to me because he can actually write fairly well (though the quality has slipped a bit in the last couple books).

I like it. I don't use facebook/instagram very often (open maybe once a week?), all my interactions with people have been through stories this year.

I like that it is a DM when I reply and that I can easily skip, I also like that they're "now" and someone is more likely to reply back or that I do not need to scroll endlessly to see someone's life.

I post stories myself probably once per quarter, it is a good way of people interacting with you without leaving too much of an online footprint.

IMO is a welcome trend.
The user IDs don't really encode any information. They are just there to associate a history with a user. When a user visits the page there's a check to see if they have a user id in local storage, if not then it gets the current time and hashes it to produce a new userId which is stored in local storage for future use.
Most tracing GC solutions would run into the same problem. A common implementation strategy of the classic three-color collector puts the grey bit in the object header (and often also the white/black bit). A two finger (Cheney-style) collector avoids an explicit grey bit, but moves objects around, which also triggers CoW of shared pages.

If you want CoW-friendly GC, you need to move your color bits / reference counts to be all together in the headers of your GC arenas instead of being in the object headers. That way, your high mutation bits are all together in a small number of pages. Those pages with the color bits/counters end up not being shared across processes, but at least they're all packed together to minimize the number of affected pages.
I imagine the "you" in this case to be the person losing weight. If I want to lose weight then I'm going make such a commitment and it doesn't really matter who I send the photos to. It's rather just an exercise in documenting what I eat. I'd send the photos to you if you agreed to be my accountabili-buddy.
I thought that with the recent changes to PECR they that clarified any non-essential cookie-like technology needs permission, irrespective of whether it's first party or pseudonymous. And additionally that analytics does not count as strictly necessary.

That seems to be the advice of the UK ICO: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-pecr/cookies-a...
Looks like a lot of options that were introduced in Prefect are now being introduced in Airflow. Obviously Prefect borrows heavily from Airflow's lineage. Seems like a little competition has been good for the space.
So, "all models are wrong, some models are useful" spun out into a whole philosophy?

In all seriousness, that is becoming one of my guiding principles (along with "divisions into categories are models"), so maybe I should pay more attention to this dude, except that he really is kind of hard to follow sometimes...
No repo should have secrets of any kind, no keys, no passwords.
The article goes on to point out that their theory about copy-on-read being the problem didn't pan out, because when they disabled refcounting on code objects shared memory usage didn't change. It then goes on to identify the real culprit, which was GC.

So, no, this article is not an excellent argument against reference counting.

To be honest, even just the amount of jetfuel fumes you take in while on board waiting to push off the from the gate bothers the hell out of me. I think that's just because the jetway connector mostly has unconditioned exterior air and with the door open, that makes its way into the cabin, but it can be very nauseating.
I really hope it is, but I wouldn't hold my breath
If you're a cybersecurity consultant, you can practically dictate your salary at this point. What's $3,000/hour to the government or a Fortune 500 to recover from a cyberattack like this?

There must be a lot of all nighters behind the scenes.
I was not surprised this article buries the 787 deep inside where no one will read it. Honestly the bleedless air system of the 787 is one of the things that makes me enjoy flying it.
When they started development the PS4 target was new and the intent was to release years before the PS5. Plenty of games do miracles more on the same hardware. I don't think the PS4 being old was the issue, I think it's the mismanagement you touched on.

Even on the best PC you can get right now the game is just "alright with a few bugs" IMO. There is nothing about target platforms they could have done to crown themselves "best video games company in the world" with this game.

Maybe not, but you can probably write a python script to parse the (open, documented, text-based) file format of an open-source tool and perform some important action that the tool doesn't support. Or maybe someone already wrote a library that parses the file format which lets you jump straight to pulling out the data that you want.

Meanwhile, the closed source tool doesn't support your desired action action either, but their file format is binary/compressed/encrypted/undocumented for nebulous "business reasons," so you end up spending fifteen hours pushing buttons in their GUI instead.
To add a contrary view:

Why? Do you want Linux to be as dumbed-down as Windows?

While I personally have used Linux/UNIX for 20-odd years, I don't begrudge the Windows users for wanting to stay with Windows.

After all, I enjoy driving a Mercedes. But why would you want a Mercedes to be restricted by various US laws (LED headlights, etc) when you can drive one as intended. If people want to drive a Ford, so be it.
Oh geez this is breaking records for all bad reasons!

Even after multiple delays they couldn’t ship a proper product , then refund hiccups and now getting pulled out !

Lesson for product launch managers
I dislike no-clean. I like my boards pristine with nice, shining leaded solder and no residues.
No, HN will rush to Cupertino with torches and pitchforks based on an inflammatory headline without clicking on the link and realizing that:

- Apple hasn't officially said anything about this. The linked rantpost is verklempt because it's been 4 weeks since the release of a major OS revision supporting a new processor architecture and a standalone installer hasn't been provided (yet).

And here are his given arguments for the Collapse of American Way and Civilization in General if this situation continues:

- It's hard to reinstall Safari.

This basically happens ... never. I've been running OS X since the beta and have never had to reinstall Safari.

- It would make it difficult to recreate a specific point release in the future.

This is valid, but also a rare use case and this doesn't prevent you from doing it, you just have to apply the incrementals from Apple.

- It would eliminate "An effective panacea for some system problems."

I think I applied a combo update to fix some hosed up printer drivers after an HP update screwed the pooch one time but I could have just loaded an earlier version. This goes into the general category of "zapping the PRAM" to fix issues which originated from a real problem this actually corrected 20 years ago and morphed into a mystical incantation to utter when you have no idea wtf is wrong with the computer and don't feel like praying the rosary over it.
What Aeolun said. Basically if you don't provide those features that enterprise wants from the get-go, and count on the enterprise plan to fund the development of those features, doesn't that land you in a catch 22?

Not that I'm criticizing your model, but I'm just genuinely curious. I would switch to using this in a heartbeat if it doesn't end up too complicated. And lots of thanks to other HNers for downvoting me when I asked an honest question on SaaS pricing.
How to Beat Ransomware in 2021
Might it be possible for ShareWith to authenticate with my application using some simple method (e.g. a shared secret HTTP header)? Then I could get all the benefits of the auth model without having to install anything (other than my app).
Buggy releases can be fixed and I think it would be completely unreasonable for Sony to pull the game over bugs alone. I'm fairly convinced that the overpromising and underdelivering around features is the reason it was pulled. I can think of several other major releases in recent memory that had as rocky of a start but were patched and became relatively well received.

Toxic fumes seep into the air we breathe everywhere. Coincidentally, planes are a major cause, as part of a system that has lost its value of health and safety in favor of craving and profit.
Yeah, trivial cases are trivial everywhere.

I like your strength/weakness observation. But if you are mutating index variables, you have a hard case, and it probably will be easier to express with a manual loop than trying to shoehorn it into awkward functional constructs.

An example is the "discard elements by a predicate" function, aka Vec::retain in Rust, std::remove in C++. Rust implements this using a for loop. Maybe it can be done with functional constructs, but it would be harder to write and to understand.

This is incredible, and must be devastating for the development team, especially after all that crunching.

As someone who's worked on a (digital-only) title for Xbox One, I'm surprised this game got through the certification process in the first place. From our experience the platform holders are pretty involved, and we regularly gave MS updates on everything from monetization, to UX and controls, to extensive reviews for updates, which caused headaches when the client lagged behind our other platforms.

Unfortunately for the developers, the fact of the matter is that there are tens of millions of base PS4s and Xbox Ones out there, and gamers got a bait and switch during this launch. As terrible as it is for them to get the rug pulled under them, Sony risks a lot more by not issuing refunds for incredibly broken products. A lot of the appeal of console gaming is the relative plug-and-play factor that comes with it, and the software regularly costs more to boot — via higher pricing, lack of sales, or both.
Can we step back and laugh at how all these comments agree that Facebook isn't reputable?

> so are they also fining all those companies that have too many men in senior positions?

Yes, they are, because City of Paris is fined "in violation of a rule that dictated at least 40% of government positions should go to people of each gender."
That's a web blocking software using inflated, completely unsourced numbers to sell a product. The Forbes article I linked called out this exact thing:

>Web filtering companies used to always release competing figures on the number of porn sites they blocked, but these numbers were almost certainly boosted to get sensationalist headlines and to seem competitive with other filtering companies that filtered "less" adult sites. For example, N2H2 claimed there were 260 millionpornsites (ed. correction: pages) --haha, one for every American citizen! :) Conservative groups are always coming up with porn figures that are crazy high, too, especially with regard to children's exposure to porn.

May God save us from everyday staple cooking becoming trendy on Instagram with influencers because they will make bags of broccoli become some fancy overpriced fad product with some celebrity photos on the packaging.
> But yeah, they'd have little reason to start one, other than trying to scare porch pirates into giving up.

I hate laws intended to try to scare other people into compliance. They seem to almost universally fail, and in the process destroy people's lives. What kind of a penalty are we going to leverage to scare porch pirates? What's the highest penalty you feel is reasonable for a single instance of theft? I think the reality is going to be a revolving door in and out of jail for short sentences.

Of course, better yet would be to reduce the incentive people have to steal these.
I think you could have both, one national network and another global network.
In California, the two-party consent rule only applies when there is an expectation of privacy.

As an example, dash cams that record audio are legal in California. However, there can be cases when somebody expects to have a confidential conversation with you (on the phone, standing next to the door, or from the backseat) and you must notify them of the audio recording.
Depends on the item - there are plenty of hand carved 300 year old statues and bits of furniture that would be far more expensive to fake than to just buy the real thing...

Paying someone for a month to hand carve some intricate wood with metal inlays costs a lot more than $50 for some old junk antique, even at china labour rates.
When I was a child it was quite unusual for other children at my school (private school, well-off families) to be dropped off at school by car in the morning. It would have been at least 95% who either caught a bus, rode a bike or walked.

I was walking to school with my older sister at age four. At age 6 I was doing a fairly long bus ride with her (and we walked down to the bus stop of course). The rest of my school life was mostly riding and walking to school. And this was completely unremarkable. What was remarkable were the kids who were dropped off at school; I viewed it as a somewhat eccentric practice.
I also made something similar called Stumblefun[0], trying to recreate that StumbleUpon experience but without the need to install a toolbar.

Right now it's only focused on SaaS products you may find useful but I'd like to add other categories of websites you can discover in the future.

Well, it's a reasonable misconception to have, banners don't usually explain everything, they mostly say "hey, we use cookies", and not "hey, we use non-essential cookies".
It's the only evidence presented so far. And how else would you test this, if not by correlation? Persuasive narratives? Anecdotes?
Ah I see, thank you, that makes sense.
First thinking that coupons are worth the time, then thinking that points are worth the time, and finally learning the true value of time.
Smalltalk is one of those languages I can’t wait to try once I have a project I feel it would be a good fit for. I can’t find good resources for learning it though, outside what seem to be dated video tutorials or books. Is it true that the original smalltalk books are mostly still good for Squeak?
I tried specifically to find those numbers, but finally gave up since the most I could find was (barely) educated guessing on sites like quora. If anyone can find those numbers, I'd love to see it.
Sounds like the Dreamliner is the only plane designed to avoid this problem. Oddly the article hardly mentions Airbus, so it isn't clear to what degree their planes suffer this problem. And I wonder why European regulators aren't addressing this issue (which seems implied by the article).
Worked fine for me with that combo.
How inconvenient would it be to go back to the way offices worked pre 1990: pen and paper for everything?
My wife seems to have this but nothing we've tried helps. She wasn't always like this, prior to my meeting her, she spent a few years working at her family's restaurant where her daily schedule would be something like:
- Wake up at 10:00AM
- Go to work by 11:00AM.
- Get off work at 10:30PM.
- Eat "dinner" at around midnight-1AM.
- 1AM-2/3AM is free time.
- Go to sleep at 3AM, rinse repeat.

She was not like this when she worked an office job (fashion designer), but now she can't get back to a "normal" schedule.
Not just backdoors, even just blob firmwares are scary enought.
I had thought about adding a "top ten likes" list, but decided against it because people might try to like their own website to get it highly ranked, and it would be very easy to programmatically like a website an arbitrary number of times. I think showing a list of bad websites has a similar problem, e.g. there is a communist website in there and some kind of polyamorous Christian-swingers forum, if someone had ideological problems with a website like this they could try to flag it.

Rather than sharing feedback, which might create bad incentives, I'll just add it to my review page, where I review and approve submissions. I'll look and see if anything is getting reported and then choose to remove or leave it.
Actually, it's a statistical certainty that a certain number of illicit transactions take place on Facebook Marketplace. If we were writing a program that we knew would have a bug in a certain number of cases then we would write a test for it or write exceptions. If Facebook is handling this responsibly then I'm sure they have a process for identifing wrong do-ers and handing everything they know to the authorities.
Very funny and interesting thanks for posting this.
Look, here we have the humble “Just”, sitting low in the wordy shrubs, almost hidden from view, pecking at its surroundings with confidence. Its natural habitat rife with nutrition, the Just pecks in any direction it likes, and, with ease reminiscent of more rare species, like the Merely, or the Simply, fills itself up for blind and rampant reproduction across all the fields of human thought.
