An iOS Hacker Tries Android
I've had pedestrians dart out in front of my path on three separate occasion in my life. Thankfully, I was aware enough to prevent hitting them. A combination of a slow enough speed, good brakes, enough distance, and luck (to be honest). It was a jarring experience each time, and each time it was completely unexpected. Of course I care about the life of the people who almost got hit - and I'm glad they didn't get maimed. But I absolutely did do a lot of cursing and wondering why they didn't look both ways.
I've battled gut dysbiosis for years. To try to improve your mood, you could take some probiotics marketed as helping to do that. I used to take Garden of Life brand mood+ probiotic (you can probably find this at your local Whole Foods or regional health food store), but started having constipation and symptoms of excess histamine. Now I recommend a probiotic by the company LiftedNaturals that doesn't contain any histamine-boosting strains:

If you are in the field, attempting to contribute, then I don't think authority is a good rubric. But for those of us who aren't, I think it's necessary. The world is too complex for all of us to make up our own minds on everything.
The best reaction to this would be to pressure the NIH to lift the ban on the Astrazeneca vaccine. There is enough stockpiled supply to vaccinate most of the UK quickly and they would have a first mover advantage to getting a bunch of that vaccine. Evidence suggests this varient still has the same spike protein and seems like it would be still prevented by most if not all the vaccines.
> you must have spare underpants in your suitcase in your room, right?

I forgot to mention, that it must've been one of their jobs to figure out which pair of underpants he will be wearing the next day, i.e. which pair from presumably a few he had in the suitcase is the last clean pair. Ah, the glamorous job of a KGB/FSB agent.

Interestingly, I wonder if it meant he could only be targetted the day before he got on a long plane trip... otherwise he might put on the pair too early, get sick while still on the ground, and manage to get to a hospital.
No, soy is not bad for the environment
I doubt Facebook even invests enough resources in skilled personnel, well versed in the language and culture to make those difficult judgements. When Facebook was used as a platform for racial violence in Myanmar IIRC Facebook had three(!) Burmese speakers in Dublin.

In particular because these countries are so populous but represent only a tiny fraction of their market share it's probably even worse than it is in affluent countries.

> Right of way or not, you are the operator of the dangerous machine,not the pedestrian. The onus is on you to pay attention to your surroundings. It doesn't matter whose fault it is if you clip a child at 40mph, they're dead.

This is disingenuous.

Say for instance a person wants to die by being hit by traffic: they can jump out from behind a parked car right as the car passes. So in at least some percentage of cases, there's simply nothing even the most attentive driver could do to avoid hitting someone.

I'm not saying cars are never at fault (I walk, ride a bike, and ride a motorcycle, each more than I drive a car; I've got plenty of first hand experience with at-fault drivers) but framing it this way seems very dishonest to me.

From a layman's (an interested one, at least) perspective, both MOND and LCDM seem to be lacking in some respects.

The idea that there exists some "stuff" we can't measure (except weakly via observed gravitational effects) that is ~5-6 times the stuff we can measure and interact with seems a bit problematic.

Likewise, the idea that fundamental forces aren't fundamental and function differently in different circumstances/environments seems to contradict much of what we've learned/deduced about the physical properties of the universe.

As such, it seems likely that our theories (in the scientific sense rather than the vernacular) are lacking in one or more respects.

Since these discrepancies focus on the effect we call gravity, I'd posit that until we can solve the Hierarchy Problem[0], there won't be a clear understanding of why we see these anomalous effects.

That assumes we don't find actual particles which fit the predictions of LCDM or clear evidence that the strength of gravity is dependent upon MOND principles.

Since many of the hypotheses that address the Hierarchy Problem are (at least currently) non-falsifiable, that's a big issue.

I'm sure that in the above statements I've ignored various observed evidence (I am a layman, after all), but IMHO it doesn't hurt to speculate.

Bingo.

RHEL is a subscription mess when working across its zoo ("Is our dev mirror the Azure's managed RHEL repository with mismatching kernel headers? Or pass through to RHEL's with epol disabled? Or RHEL 8 with docker repos disconnected so they can push their podman alternative?"). Losing centos hurts. As soon as you get into basics like drivers or build tools, RHEL quickly goes off the rails, and centos gave a semi-predictable escape hatch.

GPU land is directly on this path, so I feel awful for enterprise IT admins we work with who just want to do a good job for their client hospitals, schools, businesses, etc. We help shield them most of the way by reducing the install to just a gpu driver + docker, but those deps still need basic pinned version ranges. RHEL makes getting those hard, and worse, as life happens, make it hard to get the right diagnostic tool versions (gcc 7, ...). It's a bad look for a 2020 infra vendor to charge an enterprise for reliable and predictable rollout sw/support when RHEL makes it a marathon to get the right major release of base layers like docker/gcc/drivers. Contrast this to our cloud users, who one-click launch, or our self-managed cloud/ubuntu/etc. ones, who can generally get the right drivers + docker stack up in 10-15 provided commands.

Watching the chaos spread into centos makes me even more nervous about critical software relying on RHEL, and we already had to have The Talk with enterprises wanting HPC/ML on RHEL before this..
> Furthermore the conclusions are always the ones they'd want (e.g. "Russia shot down an airliner").

I mean, it's pretty hard to dispute such a conclusion when you have social media posts tracking the movement from Russia of a Russian-made anti-aircraft missile launcher with identification markings to an area near where MH17 crashed, posts of rocket contrails at the time of the crash, then more posts tracing the same launcher leaving the area and traveling back to Russian territory, sans a missile.

"For the greater part of the last year, [Tantos, a Microsoft electrical engineer] arduously reverse engineered the OS from the [corrupted / incomplete] image. Despite a few remaining bugs, the Cray OS now works."
Before I even knew what AMP was, I saw the lightning bolt next to search results and I quickly realized that the lightning bolt mean that the site would load fast on my phone. I loved it. So many modern sites are hostile to usability, that part of me is sad to see AMP being attacked. I don't want Google to own the web, but I don't trust that web developers can stand up for sane usability practices anymore.
Performance only improved for sites that have 5 or 6 ads going across your screen as you scroll and an autoplaying ad video taking up a good potion of the actual content.
Im living in NL also, and after interviewing and reaching the ceiling for a web engineer (80k perm contract) I really would like to get into contracting for an US company. Was there a particular website that you used or any advice you could give me ? Thanks!

It's almost as though programming language design is full of trade-offs, and that building a game engine and building a game within that same engine are different enough tasks that they have radically different requirements w/r/t those trade-offs.
There are lots of great platforms and tools in this space that are trying to solve these problems. They all have their tradeoffs and of course the list of needs/goals above is pretty diverse.

You are very likely going to be using a handful of tools that cover to full gamut of needs. This is heavily discussed in the blog post about an MLOps Canonical Stack and many of the tools being suggested below are included.

Vladimir Pozner, a Russian-American journalist and broadcaster, will speak at Yale on Thursday, Sept. 27, as a Poynter Fellow in Journalism. The event is co-sponsored by the Program on Russian, East European & Eurasian Studies, the MacMillan Center, and the European Studies Council.

Pozner’s talk, titled “How the United States created Vladimir Putin,” will draw from his extensive background in U.S.-Russian international relations and Russian politics to break down the rise of the Russian president. The event will take place at 4 p.m. in Luce Hall Auditorium, at 34 Hillhouse Ave. It is free and open to the public.

Pozner is a prolific broadcaster, having hosted several shows on Russian television starting in 1961. He was the host of “Moscow Meridian,” an English-language current affairs program that was focused on the Soviet Union. He has also served as the senior editor for Soviet Life Magazine, and a co-host for several bilateral televised discussions (known as “spacebridges”) between audiences in the Soviet Union and the United States, which were transmitted via satellite. Pozner has appeared on “The Phil Donahue Show” and Ted Koppel’s “Nightline.” He has also worked for the Institute for U.S. and Canadian Studies, a Soviet think tank.

In 1991, Pozner was asked to resign from his role as a co-host of the “spacebridges” after voicing his support for Boris Yeltsin over Mikhail Gorbachev, who would go on to become the general secretary of the Communist party of the Soviet Union. Following this, he and Phil Donahue co-hosted a weekly, issues-oriented roundtable program called “Pozner/Donahue.” In 1997, he returned to Moscow as an independent journalist. Soon after, he founded the School for Television Excellence in Moscow, which was created to educate young journalists.

The Poynter Fellowship in Journalism was established by Nelson Poynter, who received his master’s degree in 1927 from Yale. The fellowship brings to campus distinguished reporters, editors, and others who have made important contributions to the media. Among recent Poynter fellows are Chloe Veltman, Leslie Jamison, and Vinson Cunningham.
Smalltalk map reduce works across VM processes, there is nothing in CS literature that requires map reduce to be a cluster only algorithm.
This is amazing. Doesn't feel like a web based tool at all. Can even do bitwise operations that's just great. Can there be a programmer mode where I can use & and | instead of AND and OR? Not a deal breaker though. It's going to help a lot in day to day bitwise stuff
> Here's one idea: Cap the amount that all student loans can collect at something like 15% of taxable income, for max 20 years after signing. After that they are written off.

Make it the 10% of discretionary (not gross), and up the limit to 25 years of any of the loans covered graduate or professional study, and you'd have an existing option for current federal student loans.

Make this the only option for federal loans, remove private loans from the protection against bankruptcy discharge, and you the job is done.

> But let the lenders see everything -- school, major, test scores.

Private lenders can, AFAIK, already put terms like this in contracts if they want.
That's a great question :-)

In general, this isn't a new problem per se, as backend API changes can similarly break different clients that have been cached. Or when you deploy client code and the code-split chunks have changed. It's true that with this approach it likely becomes a more common problem.

One way to solve this is immutable deployments where the server runs the version of the code that the client is on. Many providers already do immutable delpoyments so there's possible integration there. It could also have some kind of a fallback where a coarser refetch is triggered when the versions become incompatible.

We expect that hosting providers will be innovating in this area in the future, too.
> Wouldn't that be even more pressure on the pricing system, though?

Why would it? They can literally just raise the price and those that have insurance are going to get it which ultimately covers the loss in those that refuse service due to price. That ultimately is reflected to the customer in the form of higher premiums which they pay regardless of whether on not they get EKGs.

Further, with less people getting services it really is as simple as cutting nursing, doctor, and lab staff because there isn't as much demand.

It may make a difference if the market was completely unregulated and insurance didn't exist at all. In that case, some guy could do EKGs out of his van at a much lower cost.

However, that's not the market we have. Doctors command high salaries and we've regulated that only those with medical licenses can practice medicine.

Medicine is not a free market and it's a bad idea to ever make it one. There are already major issues with unlicensed quacks selling placebos.
Well the crime was democratically instituted in a world where the "abstract group" literally bought up all the public transit they could and then shut it down to create more drivers. Who then vote.
There's also Kretes¹ that comes with a React.js template. It pre-configures few popular libraries such as React Query, React Hook Form, built-in REST & GraphQL API, authorization/authentication, etc - so you can (relatively) quickly create a «full-stack» (TypeScript) app

That’s not my experience at all, at least on iOS. I notice essentially no performance improvement when accessing AMP vs when I inevitably choose to load the non-AMP site because AMP sucks terribly.
> Why AMP exists?

So Google can push through a gatekeeping approach to further controlling online content. After you take hostages, then you decide what kind of ransom you want. It's how every monopoly tends to behave, they push outward leveraging their position and try to put as many defensive moats into place as they can.

If speed was actually their concern, they happen to control a search monopoly that pretends to very much care about performance and speed. If any of that were really true, they can practically flip a switch and smash every slow site on the Web. Aggressively turn up the penalty on such terrible sites. In less than a year they'd all jump to and get in line, or they would die, banished from all search results (sorry, your site sucks so bad we're not even going to index that garbage). Google is happy to banish sites for political-ideological reasons based on the bias of their employees, but they can't be bothered for performance reasons? It reveals a lot as Google knows it would be easy to fix without AMP. Speed is not the primary agenda of AMP, control is; speed is an excellent cover story.
Yeah, but the only reason that AMP is able to preload the page from Google's (or Cloudflare's) CDN cache without leaking your information to the website is because of all the other design decisions.
Ah, this is all good info. Thank you. And great point about Evermotion + V-Ray materials that are CPU-only. It is certainly possible that some of those materials are CPU-only.

I think the Chaos Group documentation you're thinking of is here: https://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/VMAX/V-Ray+GPU+Supported...

Indeed, at least according to this documentation, some of the render elements we are relying on to generate the Hypersim dataset are unsupported on the GPU.
Not sure about Rust, but the on the Clojure side, code does not seem pretty.
What if they don't even come into the room? I experienced this incredible phenomenon a couple years ago after taking my son to the ER while out of state on vacation. We were there for a few hours to have a very horror movie-esc swollen lymph node looked at. He needed a CT scan to confirm that it was not an abscess and some IV antibiotics for strep. The doctor and nurses were great, I paid up front, and additionally provided insurance. Seemed like everything went smoothly. Three months later we received a bill for $2500 from a doctor we had not seen. Insurance had adjusted it from $3800. Perhaps he was the attending physician and the doctor we saw consulted with him. I have no idea and no one told me anything about it.

My wife, being the litigious trial attorney that she is, sent the physician's group a letter disputing the bill, requesting documentation that this doctor did in fact work on my son's case, and putting them on notice that she would fight them on principle over the amount of the bill. A couple of weeks later we got a letter stating that despite the fact that the charges were in fact valid, they would adjust the amount owed to $0.

A friend I related this to commented, "yup, they just wrote you off because there are so many more people that they can go after and not fight with that it just isn't worth it to them."

What a sad commentary on healthcare in America.
Before corona I visited some colleagues in LA for a knowledge transfer, as they were handing over ownership of a whole bunch of infrastructure to me. As we were walking to lunch, I couldn't help noticing that they very clearly and insistently walked as far away from the street as they could. Very edge of the sidewalk away from the street. They warned me about cars never looking when they turn, etc.

LA is not a pedestrian city.
What is the significance of Dublin in this circumstance? Is their Dublin office the one responsible for moderation?
>Not really. A better comparison would be electric cable where the company who provides you power is also responsible for maintaining the infrastructure. It's more practical to do it this way, otherwise every time your lights went out, you would have two parties who would be potentially responsible for fixing it.

Where I live, the company that delivers the power is responsible for maintaining the delivery infrastructure, while those who provide the power are (or can be) completely separate entities.

As such, it seems to me that even your example would argue for municipal broadband.
> I hate the system in US, but at least it gives a chance to people who can afford it;

This is the temporarily embarrassed millionaire argument.

The system absolutely sucks for you right now, but you're putting up with that, because one day, ONE GLORIOUS DAY, in the future, when you are filthy rich, you want to be able to skip all the queues.

(There are plenty of countries with socialized healthcare that has a parallel private healthcare system that allows you to pay more to receive better/faster/customized care, so that's not actually an argument.)
You think it's shocking that the country where the #1 cause of bankruptcy is an (often trivial) interaction with the free-market medical system, with the world's highest per-capita prison population, is right wing?

Ok then.

If you don't think the US is a right-wing country, you do need recalibration lol. And that's really both parties for the most part - the voice for, say, medicare for all, or for abolishing penal slavery, are basically nonexistent and non-mainstream.

In international terms, the US effectively has a far-right party and a centrist party, with a handful of leftists lumped into the centrist party where they're effectively sidelined in terms of policy.
No, we can just give people used phones. We have such a surplus of some things that we can actually redistribute them in a non-zero sum way.
There was a recent article on HN that alleged that google slowed down non-amp pages (by delaying the execution of the link-click) in order to further amp's perceived improvement.
It's my understanding that it wasn't a flash memory based SSD like we would see today, but just a huge amount of RAM (for its era) that could be used as storage. The facilities that typically hosted a Cray could be counted upon to have very reliable power, so the power failure risk of keeping stuff directly in RAM was low.
> There's a crosswalk there so I checked and the crosswalk was vacant, made the turn and proceeded to get up to speed on that road. And then immediately did a hard brake because a woman was illegally crossing the road around a bend, covered by trees,

1.) If you cant see, you should not speed up.

2.) If you cant see, she cant see the crossroad either. Also, pedestrians dont are the ones with requirement to have driving license - drivers are the ones supposed to be in the know and in control.
Would be interested to hear if they explored using protobufs or did they default to JSON...?
Leica also makes microscopes (I use one of them regularly).
It’s very interesting to visit compact cities like San Francisco, DC, and NYY, and see how much people jaywalk without a worry. Having walked across the street outside of a crosswalk an uncountable number of times, I cannot recall ever being stopped or being alone. Seems people can adequately decide the risk. It would be better to put the onerous on safety back on to vehicles, but this new law could be used to justify blocking traffic.
This is awesome. Reminds me of https://wonder.me quite a bit.
