Be aware that the air quality sensor on most units is a cheap VOC sensor. It detects gasses, not particles. It'll trigger if you fart near it or cook something odorous, but not for dust or smoke.

I have the Winix 5300 and 5500 purifiers (which I highly recommend), and typically run on mode 3 out of 4 because it pulls about 12 watts (and is quiet) but is not massively different airflow than mode 4 which draws about 70 watts (and is noisy).
I don't think the rest of the world is 'ethically behind' or that a healthy relationship to the human body is exclusively European.

It's basically protestant modernity or whatever you want to call it that's caused this repression, also a European export so it's not like we're not to blame for a good portion of it. Huge chunks of the colonised world actually had fairly diverse and healthy attitudes towards nudity and sexuality before the era of colonisation. Women with Mustaches and Men without Beards is a great book about sexuality in Iran.

But either way today it does seem to be mostly the US which has the kind of influence that Europe had, and I don't enjoy it because it seems to affect our culture in negative ways.
In just the past few months there have been VIP assassinations/attempts on highly visible people (Lead Iranian Nuclear Scientist, Alexei Navalny, etc.) are we really expected to believe that intelligence agencies of the nations in question would let these kinds of secrets out in the open and not silence people if they were true? Apparently they are incredibly brazen so why are these people allowed to continue talking?

You may want to hold back the "Stripe for Auth" tagline until you have more languages implemented. Also you aren't competing with things like Auth0 because if an organization has money for Auth0 why would they roll their own? You are competing with all the different open source framework implementations for Auth.

>[The two federal agents] were members of the Baltimore Silk Road Task Force, which authorities have said was one of two concurrent federal investigations into the world's most popular — and now defunct — online drug bazaar. Their work helped lead to two indictments against alleged Silk Road founder and administrator Ross William Ulbricht.

>But authorities now allege that [the agents] used off-the-books aliases to talk with Ulbricht, in one case offering sensitive information for money and in another trying to extort him, while Bridges allegedly wired himself $800,000 in digital currency that he had gained control of during the investigation.
Ideological commitments like this are just blinding. People convince themselves of something and literally can no longer see things right in front of them.

> free software projects are run by lone developers and lack resources

I'm sure nonsense like this gets sage nods when presented in front of of nontechnical executives, and there are indeed projects this describes.

It doesn't describe RedHat, Ubuntu, Postgres, the Linux kernel, any number of Apache Foundation projects... it is either ignorant or dishonest cherry-picking.

Product reviews are only for reviewing the product, not the shipping, or the seller's practices. There are other ways to report this to Amazon, and you can report it to the FTC

> To pass down freedom (including freedom FROM surveillance) to end users. Avoid lock-in and "tivoization".

But has the GPL accomplished any of this in practice? The Linux kernel rejected GPLv3 with it's tivoization clause, and for some embedded device it seems quite easy to avoid GPLv3 if you wanted. GPLv3, as it's adopted today, is just not a threat to evil companies that want to tivoize their products.

> You are probably thinking about weak/non-protective licenses. They are commonly used on locked-down systems like Android or cloud/SaaS.

> Various developers and companies complained that that form of FLOSS has been coopted into unpaid labor for FAANGs.

Again, what has been accomplished here? AGPL has been soundly rejected, and plain GPL doesn't really protect against the FAANGs.

It's not like if left-pad had been AGPLv3, all the FAANGs would have bought some expensive proprietary license to use that awesome library. In reality, nothing would have been gained by pushing away freeloading FAANGs.

I'm not saying you're wrong to worry about FAANGs. I think massive economic inequality, and the extent to which economic wealth can be turned into political power is poisonous to democracy. I'm just increasingly skeptical that copyleft licensing is a meaningful tool to combat this. And no, I don't have answers either..
The review tells you that the _product's_ rating is compromised by paid reviews. From that perspective it doesn't really matter which seller is the one at fault. Buying from that shady seller won't get you a worse product, or even necessarily worse service. It's just that the product overall is likely of worse quality than what the other reviews might indicate, regardless of which seller you buy it from.
This is a great idea. We have a gallery for another one of our ML services and should add one for this, too.

Thanks for the suggestion.
The last scientific programing I did was at a longstanding uk utilities company translating fortran and basic programs written in the 80s into database stored procedures so they could be more easily be exposed a Web services.

I had to refer to a few scientific papers in industry journals etc. Coding was fairly straightforward but the business seemed to have no easy way of validating them as they had multiple ancient versions of the code that all gave different results.

Maybe there's some code that at one point was FOSS in those products, but the products themselves are nor Free.

IMHO a code base that has been forked from a FOSS project cannot be considered FOSS itself even if they keep retrofitting changes back to the original, because you cannot know what is there in the proprietary part. This is specially true if you distribute the derivative product only in binary form.
Thought so too. The mistake was to not write an honest review about the product and to mention, that a $10 refund was offered for doing so. That would have been the smart thing to do. Just claiming that other reviews are bought was probably the reason for not accepting the review.

Git internal delta compression has nothing to do with why Git commits are most usefully thought of as diffs. All git operations start by computing diffs between commits, and then trying to apply those diffs before conceptually taking a snapshot. It is quite likely that the textual diff used in the operation and the internal diff produced by the delta compression are entirely different.
I had not realized there were languages where angled quotations pointed inwards towards the quoted content. I wonder if there are legitimate cases (e.g. a French style guide discussing German punctuation?) of an outward-pointing angled quotation-mark language quoting an inward-pointing angled quotation-mark language or vice versa where it's ambiguous where a quote ends?

For the rest of the world , the bitcoin economy may become a weapon to dethrone the dollar

Hundreds of thousands of transactions in US dollars occur all around the world every second of every day. Bitcoin can't even handle the currency transaction needs of a large shopping mall. The bitcoin blockchain is limited to about 7 transactions a second.

A cryptocurrency of some sort may eventually become a threat to the US dollar but bitcoin is clearly not it.

> You can buy a perfectly organic, fully unprocessed meal from Panda Express. Its called rice stir-fry,

Butter, sesame/vegetable oil and white rice are all processed foods. An unprocessed version would consist of brown rice, eggs, and the chopped veggies. Which would be an improvement on 95% of the typical meals Americans consume.

I do get your point though. There's an aspect of Goodhart's law here. When we come up with some sort of diet management heuristic, over time our personal habits and eventually the market will find exploits. We'll look for the most unhealthy/tasty food that complies with the ostensible rules of the diet.

It just doesn't make sense for Aliens to be visiting us in this way. If you have the ability to traverse the Galaxy or Universe then surely you can also stay undetected by our comparatively pathetic technology. At the same time their mere existence would imply the Universe is probably full of intelligent life and why would they be particularly interested in naked apes who can't even agree about simple scientific facts? We're made of meat after all. The only explanation is that they would be conducting a psychological experiment on humanity and we'd better hope they don't decide to end it early.
It seems like it should be reasonable to have a review warning people reading them that many of the 5 star reviews are suspect as the reviewer was compensated by the seller.
>The purpose of the U.S. patent system is the public dispersion of new knowledge.

That's its (stated) purpose from the viewpoint of society. Patents' purposes from the viewpoint of the inventor is to secure the 20-year monopoly on the invention (or to secure a plausible threat). Nobody would file a patent for the sole purpose of disclosure. If you really want to disclose something, there are a million easier, better, and cheaper ways to do it.

>So why would the Navy file a patent on something? It is plausible that their goal in doing so was to disclose its existence.

If they wanted disclosure, they could just post it on their website and issue a press release. Or publish a book. Or a journal article. Or add it to their podcast. They already do all these things. Why not for this?
Thank you for the feedback! I'm gonna pass that on to some AWS experts in the community.

One really nice feature of 2.0 is now the "providers (hooks, operators, etc.) are released separately from Airflow itself. So you won't need to upgrade airflow to get improved AWS operators unless there is a breaking change.

I'm really curious how many of our democracies fail in this specific case. There aren't a lot of wealthy people, so if politicians are pandering to the majority, this is the wrong call. It's well known not to work for a long time, so logically it's also the wrong call. Are most politicians wealthy? Is that why they seem to overly protect the interests of this group over the rest of the population? Straight up self-interest or corruption?
Wait I don't see how this is inconsistent.

- "Seller was great and delivered on time!"

- "Seller is doing shady things and posting fake reviews"

It seems like both of these would be removed.
For users to PR their own comments, or for anyone to PR any comments? The former sounds overcomplicated, but the latter... I don't know how that would turn out, but it would be fascinating to watch.
There aren't many static calls yet, but for example I am planning to use them for KVM (which has lots of indirect calls in order to support both Intel and AMD virtualization extensions). Besides some improvements in sheer cycle count, it would also allow some code cleanups, removing code that has to be duplicated to avoid sticking a retpoline in the middle of a hot path.
> HN has a large audience with a broad range of opinions. In my opinion, Snowden and Manning are traitors and the latter should have been left in prison.

Just like any large audience a hive mind exists. There are more posts in favor of Snowden/Assange on here than in favor of this google employee. In general, more come to their defense, than hers, despite doing similar things.

Those aren't why you're dismissive. You've made up your mind on her, and make those items "dismissive" to support your POV, because you can't actually prove one way or the other. Perhaps some of the reviewers are racist. We've seen in the past 4 years that racism is alive and well in this country.

I don't see a problem with sending an internal email to colleagues. Should everyone just fall in line and do everything asked ever and never want change?

If she is publicly publishing a paper, reviewers should publicly publish their reviews, especially if they're negative. At this point, if we don't know the reviewers, we can't tell if they're genuine reviews, or not.
Love the design of the cards !
If this were the case I wish Amazon would be more vigilant about these kinds of reviews in general.

When the OSI first started approving open source licenses, it seemed like rain. Like every company wanted to create their own license with the intent to get free development work that they could then wrap up in closed commercial products. They were often incompatible with other licenses as well for that reason.

To ensure code is maximally reusable IMHO all we need are MIT, BSD and GPL, LGPL. And two of those are not really different in my mind. I understand AGPL too, but not MPL or Apache licenses. But if they are needed then that really should be all of them. Any others have some kind of non-free agenda.

I don't understand how the content of the article relates to the title.

I was expecting a treatise on the trade offs of developing free software and instead it seemed mostly like a rant that boils down to "open source bad".

What about when free software is actually inferior? The reason the year of Linux on the desktop never comes is that Windows and MacOS provide an experience that for the majority of users is overwhelmingly better than Linux.

The response from the FSF crowd seems to mostly be "deal with it because freedom" which is fine, I guess, but I have better things to do with my time than battle my operating system to recognize my external monitor correctly.

We'll, it will take a decade, but this is one of the few European projects I believe might actually work. It's a well defined goal (fab chips) and the winners of the contracts is more or less predetermined (AMSL, etc). That's much less fluffy than "we're going to build a system of standards so that Europe can build a federated cloud".
>Coinbase should be viewed as a wealth & asset management company at this point. The real profit center of the company is Coinbase Custody, which is all about extremely secure holding of Bitcoins for extremely rich customers.

If this is actually the case, I'd much rather use Gemini than Coinbase. Gemini seems much more fiduciary-minded in their verbiage on their site, and the fact they don't throw a bunch of "shitcoins" at your face on every other click. Their fees are lower, too (but higher than Coinbase Pro, which is more for the trading-minded) and they have a daily auctioning system which to my knowledge coinbase has no equivalent.

Also, Coinbase is notorious for the servers crashing on every price spike. Gemini, on the other hand, stays out of the headlines regarding uptime, which is what a wealth management company should do.

Full disclaimer: I have accounts I use in both Gemini and Coinbase, I don't believe myself to be biased here, and I actively use both services.

But if you really want a "wealth and asset management" service, I would personally recommend Gemini as the platform. If you think you have a leg up on the market and would like to trade for profit, go with Coinbase.

We have a line under the first login GIF that says "Note: Login is currently available only for Nodejs. Other tech stacks will be supported soon". Apologies if this was not evident enough. Will factor this feedback into our UI design process.

Certainly, we arent there yet but Stripe for Auth is where we want to be. Based on our experience, we actually do compete with all the proprietary services as well and not just the open source frameworks. When someone (who "has money") is looking for an auth solution, they dont look at which solution is paid. They look at which solution is best for them and that can be either open source, freemium, paid - whatever.
Or they got penalized, and have stopped doing it. There is now way as outsiders we can tell what's going on.

I don't think it's reasonable to expect that a single reported case is going to result in visible action. (competitors/griefers can easily abuse this).

So this gets into nuance and I will preface this with, we don't know what her email specifically said.

If you give your company a date for the cessation of your employment, that is giving notice. If you say I "will resign if", is saying that you will do something in the unspecified future.

So if you give your two weeks notice you have formally turned in your resignation. In your example I would agree that they just changed the timetable. If you haven't given your notice, and they terminate your employment citing an email you sent, you have been fired.

By all accounts she didn't submit her resignation, she simply said that she would. Sometimes situations like that result in the person getting cold feet, or the two parties working out a compromise. Maybe things would've always ended up the same way, but either way Google didn't wait for her to actually resign.
