I can speak first hand to that, in Canada. RSS is actively supported. Specific RSS feeds are even run to (web, Apple News) aggregators after agreements are made to syndicate the content.

And we maintain feeds for the Canadian government archives.

I'm surprised that I don't see more of the HN typical anti-Java stance where the wisdom on here is that you can't build UI applications in Java. Here is a $7B company built entirely with Java Swing providing (IMHO) the best developer tools across almost all languages. Recently, JetBrains gave me an unlimited lifetime license for all their software because I have been a loyal customer for 17 years - very generous. And yes, I would have loved to invest in them anytime along the way but their low burn rate being headquartered in eastern europe makes that pretty unnecessary. They have probably been profitable from the beginning.

Another thing missing from the discussion is whether they are sharing equity (or profits) with their employees. That is also a hallmark of VC funded businesses and one that is often not present in bootstrapped companies. Generally all the economics are consumed by the owners.

This was the exact line I used to describe it to a friend.

I think Deus Ex signals the same thing, we were expecting a deep story driven game, instead it's a pretty shallow RPG and not a very well done action game, so what's left?
The simplistic answer is that the immune system tries out new antigen-detecting cells in a safe environment before letting them run around with a loaded gun. Any cell that activates in that safe environment is destroyed, as it recognized one of your own antigens.

The other mechanism is that the immune system doesn't react only to foreign antigens, there also needs to be some general activation of the immune system in that area for a real response.

The full answer is that this is really, really complex like pretty much everything involving the immune system. And auto-immune diseases indicate that the immune system doesn't always get this right.
government should care for us all

Maybe it's too idealistic, but supposedly the power of the government originates from the people, so it's not asking too much that the government should serve the people.
Tutanota Transparency Report and Warrant Canary
This blog post is factually incorrect. Papertrail and Loggly both strongly recommend and support syslog over TLS. For example, https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/Success_Center/paper... covers how to setup encrypted logging.

That page is linked to as part of the standard setup doc and it's in the sidebar, immediately beneath the simplest possible setup instructions.

This blog post says "Of course, they support TLS and have advanced/optional instructions for configuring that but after decades of experience in software and devops we know the power of defaults," which is at best a mischaracterization.

Also, the sender maintained by Papertrail, remote_syslog2, both defaults to encryption (https://github.com/papertrail/remote_syslog2/blob/master/exa...) and makes it a single config option, which isn't true of most other senders.

Just because it's the official definition of a start-up doesn't mean it's a good definition.

There's been a steady stream of bootstrapped companies providing legally and morally uncontroversial, high quality products to satisfied customers, and growing steadily until they become much bigger than "small businesses".

IMO there's something deranged about the need to operate on the basis of explosive growth from day zero. Not only does it create pointless stress and drama, but it isn't even a particularly reliable way to grow a business - never mind an uncontroversial one with satisfied customers.

I support the kazakhstans actions. They come out in the clear and let their people know what they are doing. They don't lie while under oath to the people supposed to be holding them accountable. They aren't hording vulnerabilities, spending millions trying to break crypto implementations, and undermining the trust of their citizens.

They are straight up and honest. I wish more governments were like that.
1. A single rna can produce multiple times the protein, because it is like the proverb about giving someone fish and teaching them fishing.

2. Someone already said, but a protein has no marker saying "local produce". It is either allowed or not and the body reacts or not when detecting it.

3. They hope. Measure the dosage and adjust. As it was reported, some people getting the vaccine have an allergic reaction, but hopefully it will be rare and under control. So far there are only a few cases reported.

What changes are made to mRNA in these vaccines to make them last longer? Also wouldn't our immune system attack it as foreign then? It seems to me as a layperson that this must have been a key novel and clever part to make these vaccines work. I'd like to read more but don't know where to start.
Someone or a few at CDPR should lose their jobs over this.

Why they didn't make this a PS5/XSX exclusive is absolutely beyond me. It was very, very clear this game did not run on last-gen console hardware.

Yes, and that's why TFA links to playstation.com, where you can get a refund for your PS4 purchase. This isn't about the game in general, this is about the awful PS4 version.
Interesting idea... but I'd only be interested if I could claim that $500 as a tax deduction. :)

Otherwise I'd rather just wait for supply to become available and donate the $500 outright.
I think the research in the field is fairly limited - which might make the book sound limited, but I didn't really see any picking of cherries, rather than very few cherries to pick from :).

Also West makes it pretty clear what he thinks of a bare exponential & corollary phase transition. The scaling power-law relationship however does not imply any sort of bare exponential growth.

The amazing thing to me is that a game that has been in development for so long runs so badly on consoles that were new when development started.

I bet they spent a lot of time updating the engine and graphics over the past 8 years, and as a result the game barely runs on the hardware they were using when they started writing it.
I would love to know (to assuage any family members' doubts) --

> Facebook told VICE World News that the Tai Po group was suspended due to “repeatedly violating hate speech policy,” a finding that the group’s administrators oppose.

Translation from the 'oppose' page:

https://hk.appledaily.com/local/20201205/OIYL3RPCUVAKPPSXC6N...

> "Tai Po Tai Po" criticized in the MeWe group that Facebook's censorship of speech was helping tyranny to crush democratic freedoms. At present, a number of yellow shops or online media have started to set up new pages in MeWe, and district councillors have joined MeWe

It seems 'hate speech' was used as a prefix to silence discussion of topics the CCP likes to avoid, i.e. the CCP's interference in HK's affairs (which the CCP agreed to stay out of in Sino-British Joint Declaration).
My Google fu is failing me. What company is that? Sounds like Elysium.

Unless you're in a high-risk group, getting a vaccine early is kinda irrelevant.

Being able to go to concerts and sports events and theatres safely is pointless if there aren't any concerts or sports events or theatres open.

If you've got elderly loved ones you want to keep safe, you'd need to vaccinate them, not yourself.

And if all you want to do is go to the shops without a mask, while everyone assumes you're a dumbass? You don't need a vaccine to do that.
Very expensive. It's only worth it if you have over 50k a month in profit. At that level it is good for a year or two of training and then it gets repetitive.
> I have had some hilarious ones though

Most of the time these are part of the open-world genre leading to lots of fun, like weird ragdoll physics. Tho they can be kind of a deal-breaker when they happen during scenes that are supposed to have an emotional impact.

Like when a character you are supposed to care for is about to die, and their gun suddenly flies inside their head to get stuck there, while the drama keeps playing out regardless of how absurd it look.

I had to literally lol at that, but it really took me out of the moment/the mood the scene was actually going for.

Sure, but we have experimental drug programs. People will sign up for challenge trials. We don't do it for the same reason IBM doesn't end up making the iPhone: risk aversion is really strong.

It's interesting because I live in Tunisia (which has lots of challenges for importing stuff, one of them is lack of foreign currency) but the new Ryzen series is widely available including the 5950x.

Do you they have per-country quotas?

This must mean that these concert tickets aren't being sold at market prices to start with...

Now, a much worse situation is for critical health products, like what happened with masks and hydroalcoholic gel during the start of Covid. Not surprising that the governments intervened and made scalping of that illegal, and relaxed some rules on their fabrication.

(But on the other hand the governments did some "scalping" themselves for the medical workers, by not only requisitioning masks, but also making propaganda about how masks weren't effective!)
Ash HN: Work After Tech
Hey all,

I'm thinking about possible careers outside of tech. I am only 26 but feeling pretty burned out, my health has gone to s*, and I don't find the work as interesting anymore. I am thinking about possible careers outside of tech but not sure what to look at. I'm slightly worried about the pay cut (£130k as a contractor in the UK) but I want to do something more active and social.

I know a few of you out there have mentioned having similar ideas -- what did you end up doing to move out of tech?

Also, merry Christmas :)

Show HN: Leveler – P2P Mutual Aid
A couple of friends and I created this site when we saw dozens of our friends get laid off due to COVID-19. At first it was a google spreadsheet where people left a blurb about their situation, along with their Venmo/Cashapp/Paypal links. The spreadsheet ballooned to over 1000 people in a few days. We then created this site, and more than have 7000 people signed up to date.

It's a very simple site, essentially a list of people's stories and payment links. There's no qualification to sign up, so there may be some grifters. Since the site is intended for small donations ($5-10), we figured if someone is signing up, they need the money even if they're not in a dire situation.

The 'Resources' page is a nod to Hackernews itself, and was a fun challenge to build, though sparsely used.

We've since (nearly) automated a way for different communities to clone their own site on our subdomains (i.e your-community.leveler.info). If you're interested in that, sign up or feel free to shoot me a message at sambyoung@gmail.com.

Happy to answer any questions - there was a lot of traction in the early weeks of Covid and it was an exciting thing to work on.

P.S You may disagree with the messaging on the site. For my own end, I just wanted to help people in need.

> It's a shame that this game now has such a bad reputation for relatively minor & mostly avoidable reasons.

Personally, the major red flag is that CDPR seems to have intentionally obscured the state of the game on consoles. Why else was PC gameplay allowed in pre-release media, but not console gameplay? As much as I hate the practice of shipping broken games, at least you can give that somewhat of a pass because everyone else does it. But intentionally misleading your very fans is another thing altogether.
I just want to enter a global waiting queue where the actual supply is raffled or rationed out by a lottery of sorts.

E.G.

mid-November AMD confirms all the parts will exist and opens pre-orders; I enter for the CPU and GPU I want.

Based on how many weeks go by unfulfilled I get that many spots in the drawing.

A new batch clears customs in my country. Sequential drawings are run until the requested parts are depleted.

Google Hypnotic Meditation Rooms
Deus Ex, at least the recent games, is not so linear that it runs on rails. Cyberpunk actually locks you into missions.

That mission early on in the game, where you are stuck in a car shooting at other cars, would never be part of a Deus Ex game. Deus Ex always gives players multiple ways to finish a mission, and rewards exploration. Cyberpunk puts you on rails and literally tells you what to do.

In DX Mankind Divided you were able to leave certain areas and come back, and achieve objectives in any order you wanted. Almost all of the buildings in the Prague zone were open to entry, and contained realistic NPCs and furniture -- e.g. all of the apartments in an apartment building, all of the shops, train stations, bars, etc. It felt a lot more like a real world than Cyberpunk.

Even Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines was more open than Cyberpunk, and that came out at least 16 years ago. It was also pretty broken on release, but even so it felt like more of a real world.
How was this "the hard way"?
Comments like these are why I mostly only read the comments and headline.

I doubt we'll ever see any influential politician make a real push for police reform. That would be suicide, and not of the political kind.
Maybe should have clarified in text: the "very interesting..." bit doesn't come from the author. It's just something that sounded off to me.

Even adding the Moon or the Great Pyramid would still leave a large gap in between. Which is totally normal, does not suggest anything weird. It just feels like a vacuum (that might be filled with huge spaceships in sci-fi futures:)
Good summary. Agreed.
Forums in general have been dying out for a while now, unfortunately. I think this was back in August 2015 and at the time, I was an active member of some now-dead forums on the ProBoards network and I distinctly remember looking at either laravel.io or the Laracasts forums to gauge reaction.

Based on a few anecdotes, it seems like Stadia is the most reliable version of the game right now. But if people are concerned that digital storefronts mean you're renting games at full price, then Stadia is even worse -- you're renting a game at full price and hoping the hardware sticks around so you can play it in a few years.

I'm at some silly number of hours (12? 15?) on PC, and haven't even finished the prologue "mission" for Dexter, since I've been doing side missions and exploring.

I've noticed many faults of the game (crappy driving AI, cowering citizen AI instead of running away, etc), and I agree that this is much more similar to Deus Ex (e.g., mankind divided) or the witcher than GTA.

However, I haven't seen any game breaking bugs. I once saw my weapon glitch and be invisible .... until I changed weapons. I'm sure they exist, but I am having so much fun playing the game (even with potato graphics from a 4 year old card). I have hardly touched the plot, as I haven't even gotten to the events that were completely spoiled by the game's trailers, but I still feel like I'm exploring a living city.
