> First, a 'no' vote is still taking a position. It requires additional explanation to differentiate "no because I couldn't understand it in time" and "no because I think it's a bad idea." That's a fair bit of nuance, which these days is... well often difficult to accurately and easily convey to others.

This is very true, but why, in the year 2020, is it still true?

Why does it seem like we can argue only about object level matters, and almost no one [1] can see that the framework we run politics on top of is fundamentally flawed? Would it maybe help if we were to consciously force ourselves to conceptualize society/humanity as a video game, that has parameters and behaviors, and the state of the system can be acted on, but our actions will only be effective if the game allows it?

[1] A rare exception to this in my opinion is Jimmy Dore's initiative to force a floow vote on Medicare for All

What I like about this approach is that it kind of pulls the "invisibility cloak" off of political claims and rhetoric, exposing the truth that lies inside. It appears that he's going to lose this battle (a vote will not be held), but even so it has forced a new level of propaganda to be deployed into the memeplex on very short notice, making it much easier for the average Joe to see through it. I think this is a good strategy: take away control of the playing field, so politicians can't use pre-written and memorized rhetorical talking points to dismiss obvious desires like affordable healthcare, which has fairly bi-partisan support among voters.

It doesn't really matter if M4A is not achieved (that's where we're at anyways) - the main strategic goal imho should be to bring awareness to the public mind of the notion that politicians are not being truthful (notice I am not saying they are lying) when they say that their goals and actions are to execute "the will of the people", or do what is "best" for the American population. Politics, as it is, is largely all theatre, although even the participants themselves may not actually be consciously aware of it.

It's kind of sad that Apple will just pull the emulation in a year or two, so it's kind of beside the point how good it is. They offer it just long enough to induce people across the gap, not long enough to provide meaningful support for older software. They don't really do it for the users' benefit, per se.

If it makes it into Windows, it'll probably stick around for a decade.
Gotta give @dhh credit - he is one of the world's great marketers/promoters. He's been building hype for this as the "next Rails" for months and the man knows how to pique an audience's interest.
Well, issue a deceleration for the non-proliferation and the eventual abolition of military alliances between member states then.
I'm researching federated learning. It's currently used in a number of contexts including the Google and Apple keyboards on your Android and iOS devices respectively.

Federated learning is a very active field of research. There are no simple frameworks that folks can easily operationalize. Most do not have problems that necessitate federated learning—although the growth in data privacy laws, public-private partnerships, and need to build models on privately held data (think commercial partnerships) are making it more and more prevalent.
I don't speak from experience, but I believe the answer to be "probably not" -- at least not on the academic side of things. There would be repercussions for the player of course, and maybe also for the special tutors that athletes get to keep them academically on track. But I doubt the athletics office would even try to contact me or my department chair. Dealing with academic bureaucracies is a giant pain in the ass, and I certainly wouldn't try to make it easier for them.

I think there are typically a handful of classes that are known to be "athlete friendly" and I can imagine pressure existing there. Indeed, here is one example I have read about:

But is that "digital transmission service" run "for purposes of commercial advantage or private financial gain"? I agree with your theory, but not sure why you removed the qualifier from your theory. This seems more targeted to PopcornTime than bittorrent
Seems like they'd be a good fit for politics instead!

This is obviously made with (some) jest, but it is fascinating we pride ourselves on being societies where "the military answers to the civilian authorities", but we have nowhere near the same standards for civilian leaders as we apparently expect for military folk.

Confirmation bias is an existing concept and may be a driver for the conviction but is not what’s happening here. It’s more akin to someone coming out and saying “I used to be a strong supporter for the democrats and voted for Hillary in the election, but the covid pandemic has made me a firm Trump supporter due to his beautiful handling of it!” And then someone finds a series of Tweets proving the person was openly supporting Trump during the election.

I would more refer to it as a false flag conversion. Pretend to be the enemy and come out with a fake story about how some compelling argument “forced you” to convert to the side that really is your true colors.
You're referring to the civilian aspect of control - which are elected officials.

DOD executes orders from the National Command Authority (NCA), which is in effect the civilian-to-military control interface for military orders.

You are free to debate the quality of the civilian control aspect (President), but I personally draw the line at the military domain. You want no variance in that part of the system. Otherwise the entire concept of recursive control ultimately residing in the hands of a civilian is questionable.

I find HEY's general workflow very good for my medium-volume personal email. It encouraged me to filter a lot more stuff out of my inbox than I did with Gmail, while spending less time configuring filters. The ability to leave internal comments on external email threads (business accounts only) is very useful as a first-class feature, instead of relying on fiddly BCC. The apps are quite nice to use. Overall, there's less clutter and it is a more pleasant experience than other email clients I've used... until I try to search in the Hotwire-powered web view.
Posting from a throwaway because I know my current team are also HNers and they know of my other account but (as I’m sure some can relate)

My advice is to try to recognize when one's career is no longer fulfilling; save a little money along the way, and pivot hard in search of work/life satisfaction even if it means a big downgrade in income.

Is exactly my plan in 2021. I’m leaving SWE and going back to school for finance and accounting. I’ve always enjoyed and been skilled at the numbers game and have done bookkeeping for a Local community outreach group for many years, I’ve found a very tangible calm doing something more quantitative than building CI/CD pipelines and roadmaps and oncall and feature standups and andnand and and and. I am so thoroughly burned out, disaffected and otherwise sick of my career and some of the doing this after 17 years that I’ve begun having legitimate anxiety attacks.

I had two sitting at my desk last week. When I turned around to get up and get a glass of water I saw the dog cowering in the corner. He had never seen me like that.

That’s when I knew it was time to go. Well, actually no I knew several years ago but the golden handcuffs were clamped tight and I was too scared to go.

Not anymore.

Bye.
I'm not actually sure what resolution gets passed through the USB cable. I would assume it's either native resolution or at least 1080. But to be fair I'm mostly recording in 720p 50fps, since the 4k is cropped with the EOS R and I felt more fps is better for webcam footage (the other modes are capped at 30fps (25?) or have a crop). Besides, people don't need to see my face in more detail.

I haven't seen any noticeable delay in the footage so far, but now that you mention it, I'll definitely keep an eye on that.

The EOS R can draw some power from USB, but it doesn't seem to be nearly enough, or it doesn't work while recording or something.

A pretty good sci-fi novel on trying to continue on as a civilization:

> The book's plot involves a planet inhabited by evolved spiders uplifted by human scientist Avrana Kern, and their much later discovery by the last humans alive in the universe.[6][7][8] The work plays off the contrast between the societal development of the spiders and the barbaric descent of the starship crew of the last humans.[9]

I make a little bit less than the median income (grad student). If it was up to me, I feel totally satisfied with my income. I can afford anything I want to buy, I can go out for dinner without worrying, I have savings, etc. Similarly I do not feel envious of others who have more than me, I am not looking for a change in lifestyle, and like some others in this thread I think some degree of inequality is optimal.

However when my longtime girlfriend (working in finance) feels insecure dating a man with a lower income, and is not happy with me because I can't afford / am not interested in luxury vacations and sport cars then my income becomes an issue. When I chose my job I knew I'd be taking a big loss in earnings and I knew I would be okay with that, but when it affects the people important in my life and they think less of me because of my low salary it feels bad.
> You are saying this about a country with the biggest tank armies anywhere in the world.

Russia has 12,000+ tanks only in paper. Russia has only few tank divisions in working condition and equipped. Rest is just Soviet era junk that has not moved in decades. The military modernization program has stalled.

Russia can defend itself just fine. What Russia can't do is to large scale warfare attacking others. Any mobilization in Russia that is not purely defensive in the nature would fail. Reservist would simply not show up to fight for Putin.
Not an American. One thing I don't understand is how a non essential/time-critical bill like this is allowed to be put alongside critical funding related matter? For that matter how multiple completely independent laws are passed by a same vote?
I’m actually an experienced frontend engineer. This time it’s different. You reach the point where you’re on the outside because you bring too much to the position beyond what the hiring manager is looking for and you become a liability and a risk for a company at that point.
I assume there is more context here, so out of curiosity, why do you consider that example “cheating”? Was the competition friend a low level engineer who stole and leaked information, or was he in the competition’s leadership and agreeing to share solutions? Is there a rule at either company, or law that was broken?
You need to block traffic at the origin from anyone except your CDN or proxy, and the CDN or proxy must not accept such headers, they must set them themselves.

Depending on your set-up you may need to use one or both of those headers. For example, you might use CloudFlare for some requests and CloudFront for others, as you may find one or the other to be cheaper or faster for specific content. So you may need to allow both headers at your origin's reverse proxies, but distinguish between which to accept and where to redirect the traffic based on the Virtual Host and request URI.
No, representatives should be able to read the bill in full to determine if who they in particular represent would be for or against such a law. They don’t represent their higher ups, they represent their locality. Anything else is a failure in US democracy.

The complaint isn’t against a 5000 page law, it’s a 5000 page law with 2 hours to determine the vote. Regardless of party lines, whenever this happens we should rightfully hear complaints.

> More importantly though, you can’t reasonably budget more than a trillion dollars without some horse trading.

Why? If the relief is federal, which I understand to be the case, no state or local level relief, then why must there be horse trading? Do the international relief in another bill. Do the illegal streaming is a felony in another bill. Etc.

It's like creating a massive program around a god function with globals instead of setting up sane module boundaries based on data structures and their relationships. You're gonna have a bad time.
Even a generally liberal western government would be tempted to extend this sort of monitoring towards "victimless crimes". Either to boost some arbitrary "effectiveness" numbers, or to boost profit from fines.

I think that a society that is too scared to break every little law or regulation even when it doesn't make sense would eventually tend to becoming conformist -and a stagnant, conformist society is worse than one with the rate of serious crimes that the traditional methods of enforcement leave.
The best password manager would be a physical device which requires a tap to unlock a password.

Trezor password manager got close, but it seems like they abandoned it and they never supported local (sd card) storage.

Basically, It would be a yubikey style device, secured by a master password. You could have nice browser plugins for listing all your available passwords and single click logins, etc.. Everything that lastpass/1password does from a UI standpoint.

The difference would be that decrypting/unlocking passwords would require you to physically tap on the device each time to approve the unlock- and the screen would say "Unlock password for github.com?". Basically, this system makes it impossible for some trojan remote-control virus to be able to get your passwords, even if they have your master password. The BEST they can hope for is just to sit quietly on your PC for months, slowly storing all the passwords you decide to unlock.

Alas, doesnt seem like this device is going to exist any time soon. As I said, the best bet was trezor but they dont seem to care about it anymore. Too bad, they were so close.
If you hesitate to fix security bugs out of fear of introducing new security bugs that's the point at which you have to hire better programmers.
I get the rush to provide technical comparisons to something that was just revealed five minutes ago, but none of what you just said is actually how Hotwire or Turbo works. There's no client DOM in memory on the server, there's no html buttons that call native code.

There are forms being submitted, there are normal requests happening, there are templates being rendered on a per-request basis (just like a full page load).

This is like a normal web application that renders HTML, from the perspective of how the server works. Just as scalable as every other Rails application that renders HTML. Be that GitHub or Shopify or Zendesk or Basecamp or HEY or any of the many, many other apps that have long ago definitively proven that Rails Scales.

Although I do find the commentary that the current #1 comment on the HN thread is literally a "bUt DoES iT SCaLE??" take, based on a misunderstanding of how this works. All is indeed as it's always been

Your co-founder wants to profit from 11 months of your life and leave you in the gutter. 11 months is about 2% of your entire adult working life.

Don't give in to anything. The guy is a crook.

He should have proposed the paltry 3% before you dedicated 11 months of your life on the business.

At the very least he should offer to pay you a market salary for the 11 months you worked. He could take out a loan to pay you.
My thought exactly, though I fully support that. I often rant about how the modern web is billions of layers of duck tape over duck tape and it has become an unmanageable mess of libraries, frameworks, resources, all while javascript remains the most outrageous and absurd language ever created. I'm by no means a fan of rails or ruby for that matter but I think things like these are a considerably better alternative than all the ridiculous libraries and frameworks everyone uses, which result megabytes of javascript and require corporate-grade bandwidth and at least an 8-th gen i7 and at least 8gb of memory to open. And all that to open a website which has 3 images and a contact form. I mean someone should create a package that analyzes websites and creates a minimum requirements manifest. It's good to see that there are people who are trying to bring some sanity.
The exhausting angle is real. I think there's some inheritant bad faith (even if unintentional) in asking sensitive questions to a forumn with no validations on identity or expertise. Your odds of finding someone that knows these things deeply that doesn't also have an emotional connection to them are relatively low (there aren't a lot of phds in sports medicine floating around HN for example). So instead it becomes up to someone directly effected to provide such responses and that's just a lot; save the sensitive questions for the experts or come with direct quotes from published sources.

> The UN has no authority to enact such a ban

Sure it does: as with most UN “legislation” it would be adopted by the GA adopting treaty text and member states signing and ratifying the treaty.

> or any power to back it up.

That is the more relevant problem, especially since most of the UN’s power comes through...military alliances supportive of UN goals.
So... does it mean other VPM providers haven't been shut down because they are compliant with police requests?

Or is it more to do with criminals recommending this service to their friends because they know/heard "it's safe"? Or even because it's run by one?

Also, wouldn't it be more clever for Europol to "own" the network and spy on the criminals' communications (let's assume actual morally good cops, and actual bad criminals...)

The collaboration is much deeper than that already. The Gripen is built using a NATO engine (modified F404/414). The T-7 Red Hawk trainer will be the trainer in many NATO countries and one of the most numerous aircraft in NATO for years to come, and it’ll be built partially by Saab too.

The successor to Gripen won’t be a solo project, it’ll be built in collaborations like with BAE in the Tempest program. NATO is more than the US, so buying Dassault/EADS/Airbus is “Just as NATO” as buying Lockheed and Boeing.

I doubt there would be many permanent US forces in Sweden considering the Norwegian forces are now being cut.

Wishing you hadn't worked so hard on your deathbed in your 80s is something people say after they have already saved enough money to live out their post-career life.

When you're in your youth working, you have no idea what this number is and better to be safe than sorry. If the amount of work you need to do to get through life with your target level of comfort were "solvable", then people would do it. But capitalism is a world of exponential growth, decay, and unpredictability.

When all financial advisors stop padding the hell out of their client's target retirement date just to be safe, then we can say this regret is solely on the conscience of the person on their deathbed.
