Foe the sake of argument I put it rather bluntly: I don't think this happened by accident but on purpose. There is simply no way to end up in a situation where you use forced labor by accident. Poverty and forced labor are just the other side of wealth and freedom. Same coin. Someone has to to pay the price. Earth's ressources are limited and if not shared you'll end up where we currently are.
I used the links2 browser (doesn't support JS) and was prompted to download the PDF, which is perfectly readable. Perhaps there is an issue of conversion of the PDF to google docs.
I know it is trendy to bash Google but if you get millions of support requests it would be abnormal to forward support emails for something that has a very clear built-in function right in the product. It isn't a problem with Google that they don't reply to mail for something like this. It is a clear user error.
I've found that in forums like this, people generally react badly to comments about naming, but I've found that it actually matters more than people think it does.

Many things have exactly one correctly spelled full name, but many alternative contractions or cute variations.

Programmers can be expected to know the correct spelling of "vector" or "dequeue". They can't be expected to know your specific contraction or abbreviation of it. They can't guess and they're not mind readers. They have a muscle memory that has them type out the full word automatically, without thinking.

Don't break these expectations.
Check out Transit also, it's a competitor to Citymapper. I'm very impressed with both.

You're right. Certainly on Hacker News I find it nearly impossible to raise a principled opposition to something, even if I'm just playing devil's advocate. Seems like no matter how I try to phrase things they're apparently taken as personal attacks (not certain of this, because the vast majority of my downvotes are made with no feedback). I should be used to it by now, but because the minds on HN are so keen in so many other ways it's extra disappointing.
Maybe I should make it clear I don't defend the strategy. I'm not an expert and honestly I don't know what the best national strategy for protecting against a pandemic is.

Regarding the lack of information for the elderly care tough, I know Anders Tegnell (who was the spokesperson for FHM during most press conferences) have said in several interviews that he regards that as a failure on FHMs part. They believed that stressing that the elderly were the most vulnerable would be enough, but says that this was probably a mistake.
The post I linked to mentions it explicitly.
>> one does not have to look very far back in recent history to see free speech (and other liberal approaches to resolving differences) overturning prejudices and ending injustices that have lasted for centuries.

except it didnt work. "freedom of speech" was narrowly defined and limited to only some groups which had real freedom. meanwhile, other topics were taboo either explicitly with laws, through threads, or by blacklisting in newsmedia.

consider black rights. the BLM movement didnt start now because it just happened now, it started now because we finally got to a point where more people stood up to demand rights. in the 1980s and 1990s, if you had a black criminal on a tv show or movie, it was "artistic freedom" but if you had a jewish villain, it was "anti-semitism"

for decades, those with power decided what freedom was allowed (criticizing arabs) and which would be legally disallowed (boycotting israel) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-BDS_laws

except now people got smart, basically now no one has freedom of speech because everyone can cancel everyone. is it productive? no, but it is more fair than only some groups getting freedom of speech and pretending the country was fair

The current architecture is the simplest distributed architecture I could come up with to get started: the Agora pulls from a series of git repositories that its users maintain, these repositories containing Markdown notes with [[wikilinks]].

Short answer to the narrower question: a "jazz blues" song like Parker's "Blues for alice" has a turnaround.

OTOH straight delta/Chicago blues can compress the whole I/IV/V language in a single bar, as in Muddy Waters' "Mannish boy".
Many microcontrollers (PIC, STM32, atmega8 etc) include an internal RC oscillator - which is literally inside the chip itself. Zero external components required.

Not only do you save the costs of using a crystal, you also save two pins - which was useful in the days of 8-pin microcontrollers like the ATtiny85.

As internal RC oscillator drift rates can be as much as 10% (and vary with temperature) they're not precise enough to run a serial connection, let alone a USB connection. That's why products like Arduino tend to go directly to using a proper crystal (which gives you a 0.01% drift rate for a few pennies).
The "accelarated test" may not be in any way indicative of true lifetime in moderate conditions. Their own conclusion does not draw any such implications, the only other test they reference is done at 80°C (10°C lower), and the only writing on how or why this test could be indicative of archival lifetime was a generic two sentence: harsher conditions -> faster degradation (in part 4).

It was a pupose-built test to see how much of X would Syylex take. It took X better than others, none of which took X well. Tests like these are very good, if you want to go with Syylex, to make sure it's not worse in some way (X, or Y, Z), which would then suggest a need for further examination. In real aging, factor X may be completely meaningless, while Y and Z are crucial, so you cannot conclude which one will last more.

Why test 90°C and 85% RH, not 80°C, 50°C or 110°C, or bending, UV light, scratching, drop in acid .. whatever? For a proper accelerated lifetime test, you would need to identify (all) relevant degradation modes and model their behaviour (and interaction) in target vs. accelarated test conditions, and then extrapolate behaviour in target conditions. They didn't even write what type of degradation they are testing.
You could also make the argument that old people have seen and lived through more, while young people are impressionable and more prone to following "fads". For example, look at how much support certain ideas had among young folks in Germany in the 1930s.

Anyway, both opposing points of view, while having some merit, are simplifications. Both old and young people should be allowed to vote, and you'll have to find a sensible cut-off at what age to start.

Of course, then it depends who actually turns out to vote, and I believe the younger folks could have been a bit more active on the day of the brexit referendum. (Of course there were also other reasons why "leave" won, including blatant misdirection and cheating by the leave campaign.)

Talking about disenfranchisement - what baffles me the most though is that UK expats living in Europe, who had a disproportionately high stake in the outcome of the referendum, were apparently not allowed to participate.

You absolutely cherry picked the countries in that list. If Estonia is there so should be Lithuania and Latvia (to which Estonia is much more comparable economically and to a large degree socially than to the Nordic countries). And if Germany is there so should be Austria and Switzerland (small, highly developed and not that much less densely populated than Sweden if you only look at the areas where most people live) and so should France & UK (smaller populations than Germany, similar level of economic development).

and in this list Sweden while very badly hit is no away an outlier amongst the most affected countries.
Not really. It was an internal application, which greatly reduced the risk. The type of information wouldn't be very useful to an attacker. The main problem is that there are developers and business people who also run some SQL and use the system. If they accidentally paste SQL into a search box, it will execute. They could drop tables or anything, even in PRD. If someone were disgruntled or an attacker gained access they could intentionally wipeout the database.

Yeah, that is my understanding as well. We have a word for politicians that try to use the ministeries to "get it their way". "Ministerstyre", very roughly translates to "rule through ministry".

Even 0.5 % fatality rate is huge, in my opinion.

For polio, only 0.5 % of those who contracted polio had nervous system symptoms. Of this small minority that developed muscle weakness, about 2 to 5 percent of children and 15 to 30 percent of adults died.

Still, it was a frightening disease, until it was eradicated by vaccines (except where it wasn't: now that covid has brought the world's focus back to vaccines, we should do something about that, too.)

Adding any random noise, even perfect randomness, doesn't prevent the attack. It just means the attacker needs more samples.
Seriously, people don't understand how opt-outs are nonsense. Say I am facebook. In 2020 I make an opt-out data grab. I turn it on and grab all the data, and then put up a site to opt-out. Then in 2021 I make another grab with a new opt-out. They literally don't care who opts out, they never need to even look at that list because they already grabbed it all.
I doubt it. They state "Because your issuing bank may change your card number, your opt out will be honored for five years. After five years, you will need to resubmit your card number." This strikes me as the kind of bullshit that would not be permitted if the opt-out was legally mandated. I suspect this opt-out may instead be an attempt to avoid regulation, by trying to appear to be doing the right thing even without regulation.
There are definitely phenotypical variations in humans that have health implications. To the extent that some of these are adaptive to region they may align with the rather poorly defined buckets we call ‘race’.

To GP’s point, lack of diversity in clinical trials can result in medicines that vary in efficacy and safety in the broader population. The ability to customize a therapy to an individual would help reduce the impact of this issue.

"Comes with source code" != "must be given away for free". You can charge them to download the source code. You can charge them to download pre-compiled executables. Someone else could build it and put it up online, but you'd have the only authoritative source, the first word on updates (including security updates), the only source that they can trust hasn't been manipulated, and the first-mover advantage. And if someone goes to a shady site to download your software to avoid paying you for it, maybe they can't afford it and you should look the other way.
> I am sure they (and the readers) do feel superior for their choice of pasta

I find that likely as well - that the author really feels some superiority over the pedestrian spagetti - but then they started shaming orecchiette and satire becomes the most likely explanation.
AFAIK there are no human races from a taxonomic point of view, all human beings belong to the same subspecies. There are of course genetic differences between individuals and ethnic groups though, otherwise we would be all identical twins (the point is not condemning the differences - differences are in general a good thing - the point is not attaching value judgements to the differences).
This is incorrect, please refer to the press conferences held by FHM between march and june. I think every other one had a question about herd immunity (mostly from international media) and that herd immunity was not the strategy that sweden focused on.

I don't mind the idea, but I think there's wayyy to much friction in getting content from the internet to paper. There's just not much value proposition from re-printing the content I can read online, quicker than I can get it in a magazine form.

https://www.musictaco.co.uk - Find the cheapest place to buy albums online (you can also track your favourite artists and it will email you when they have a new release)

To be fair, I built it primarily as a way to teach myself Rails, and in this regard it was a great success. But in the back of my mind I figured I might be able to make some affiliate revenue out of the traffic but it never took off.

It has failed so far because: it is a small niche (most people just use Spotify these days), I haven't marketed it very well and haven't found the niches where likeminded people hang out (building is definitely easier than marketing). I could definitely do more on the homepage to explain the features, particularly around tracking artists and being notified when they release new albums, but at the end of the day I just haven't been able to market it (nor did I spend a lot of time on this aspect of it). For a long time it only worked in the UK (an even smaller audience compared to the global market), although I did just roll out an update for it to work in the US, but have not done anything to advertise the fact.

If the virus has a smaller base of infected people who grow it, there will be less mutations. From that point of view, the sooner all the world is vaccinated, the better. The risk of a new, more dangerous mutation decreases.

Some thoughts to add:

- What of the USA's willingness to use war as a proxy for foreign policy? Is not war a collective "enforcement" of violence? So much so that the masses have become numb and/or blind to war? Why is the USA _so much_ more violent? Because we have more guns? Point being, let's be clear, violence takes many forms.

- What if there are long term effects? What if the children of a player of violent video games are more effected? Maybe the parents are less likely to discipline for acts of toddler violence? What happens when that child grows up?

- The study looked at a particular group of kids, _10 y/o and up_. In terms of development, that's relatively late. The affect of violence on say 5 y/o's could be different, perhaps very.

- It's important to note that this "study" made no mention - at least in the non-pay material available about sample size. How they assessed violence vs non, and so on. The data collected also appears to be self-reported. Read: red flag. But confirmation bias runs strong on HN, yes?

- That said, the article does say:

"Participants were assessed through various behavioral characteristics such as aggression, depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and prosocial behavior."

To be clear, the study doesn't connect violence to video games for the sample. However, it also fails to mention whether there are other less positive outcomes (e.g., increase in depression, obesity, or something else).
For asking people if they're ashamed? I doubt it, but I'm not an expert either.

> The email published by The Guardian don't support this. He is mainly discussing the impact of keeping school open balancing the potential death in the elderly population against the immunity boost.

What is this "immunity boost" you speak of? It sounds like a less intellectually brave version of herd immunity to me. Tegnell, unlike some, did not mince words when he said “One point would be to keep schools open to reach herd immunity faster”. He obviously had that as an object in mind when making decisions.

Herd immunity (or 'immunity boosting') was a disastrous policy and the link below goes into some detail as to the basic conceit of the position.

> The only way to completely avoid race conditions I know of would be formal methods via TLA+ or similar. From my brief looks into TLA+ it'd appear to match actor implementation models pretty well (messages to actors yield new states).

The fork-join model does allow you to completely avoid race conditions, because tasks are always created in a deterministic order, each can only work with the immutable input they get, and tasks join also in a deterministic order.

(I think when I say fork-join you're thinking processes fork and join - I mean the abstract concept of fork-join. Map-reduce is an example of a fork-join model and is deterministic and race-free by construction with no proof system needed.)

Ask HN: How to Sort to 1.000 Destinations?
I work for a parcel delivery company based in Europe.
To reduce CO2 in our network, we are looking for different solutions. One of these solutions is to deliver parcels at a shop instead of a home address which will result in less driving.
But here comes a challenge: with over 1.000 shops we already use I need to find a way to sort parcels to 1.000 destinations, even 1.500 or 2.000 in the future.
Beside sorting out to 1.000+ destinations, we are talking about roughly 100.000 parcel per day (future growth included). Luckily, the solution I'm looking for is only needed for "smalls", parcels up to 400x400x400mm max
Any idea how to solve this?
