You can't be serious. Think about this for 2 seconds. Tips to the police from "close associates" are probably the ones that are in most need of corroboration prior to a search, to ensure that police powers aren't being abused.

Two of the biggest names in ripping Crunchyroll have both shut down, one very unexpectedly, and I've noticed a small increase in fansubs since then. I'm kinda hoping for a resurgence now.
Admittedly I know few, but not zero. That said they’re all relatively older and have been in the business for a while. I used to manage a team with 4 racks, ~40 machines at a COLO. When we hired for new people, it was usually older folks who had the experience necessary. Maybe you’re right and I agree the concentration is disturbing.

My only response is that when I look at bigger orgs and places like Fortune 500 cos I still see/hear about home built server farms, so those people must be out there. I think maybe we get blinded in startup/SV land and only see people using cloud infrastructure but miss a huge, silent mass of people.
I thought the headline meant rich like laughable, which would work here too.

This reminds me of the tone-deaf ads that we got bombarded with by celebrities telling us to stay home while their hot tub bubbled behind them.
Something doesn't add up here.

His nameservers have been set to DigitalOcean servers for well over a year. A GoDaddy rep wouldn't be able to change MX records on those nameservers. They would have to change the nameservers on his domain to GoDaddy servers and then add new MX records. That's more than just a simple MX record change and seems more unlikely to me.

Perhaps his DigitalOcean account was compromised?
That's great. I'm never a fan of the skeuomorphic controls. Making a dial right and down by dragging my cursor up makes no sense to me, much prefer a slider.
From the article you posted:

TFA:

“ Evidence suggests that added sugars, particularly those in sweetened beverages, may contribute to obesity and weight gain, which are linked to higher rates of chronic health conditions like heart disease and Type 2 diabetes, the scientific panel noted.

More than two-thirds of American adults are overweight or obese; obesity, diabetes and other related conditions also increase the risk of developing severe Covid-19 illness.

The scientific advisory group also called for limiting daily alcohol consumption to one drink a day for both men and women, citing a growing body of evidence that consuming higher amounts of alcohol is associated with an increased risk of death, compared with drinking lower amounts.”

Sigh. Can’t have anything stop those beer n’ soda profits :/.
Thank you. The idea is perfect looks like the development didn't catch up to the latest development practices. I will contact them to see if I can add features like conference server. May be I can add features like firewall, VPN, confluence, spam detector.
I can vouch for Gandi.
I think the premise of your argument is people move in large clusters, obviously if people are spread out across multiple states, then the original argument stands

>They always ask for more surveillance funding/powers, yet they never have a good answer when it comes to what they do when they're granted such powers.

Their remit is to protect the state, not you. Occupy movements / class consciousness pose a real threat to the state and therefore is of far higher concern than some lunatics bombing some plebs doing a marathon.
Minor (and probably not intentional) thing I like - comments are loaded manually rather than by default on page load. For more popular blogs/sites that have comments on posts like Slate Star Codex or Less Wrong, there can be literally hundreds or thousands of comments on a single post. This makes scrolling through the post or judging the amount of content in the post via scroll bar basically impossible, but just loading comments with a button click fixes that in such a simple way.
> Sounds strange I know.

There is nothing strange about that, unfortunately. It's just how people work. Things like this are also why I sincerely hope that humanity eventually dies off and is replaced by literally any species, natural or artificial, that bases decisions on logic and facts.

There is no such thing as a meritocracy when humans are involved, no matter how much we delude ourselves to believe otherwise.
It depends on your job role - doing stuff in a terminal all day is probably OK with a 40%, if you type numbers and IP addresses all day you want a numpad, if you live in excel you probably want function keys.
That String Theory continues to adhere to known results keeps it in the candidate pool. If it can make the same predictions as the current framework, then it makes sense to keep working on both because neither has a known advantage over the other in predicting unknown phenomena. The only way to find out is to continue exploring all such theories. Since human talent and research is limited, it becomes an economic problem. Is it worth having half of the brain power working on two equally plausible theories? Who knows... but what I do know is that diversity in this field is creating new ideas and new mathematical tools and that has to count for something.

If I owned a company, I'd probably pay people what it cost to retain them with a sufficiently high likelihood for the purposes of their particular role and the quality of their work. This amount would certainly not be permitted to rise above the value they bring to the company, but I'd feel no obligation to pay them exactly their marginal value to me. If I did, there'd be little profit in owning the company.

I don't really see why I should be expected to do otherwise. The value a person brings to the company cannot be separated from the company's capital and the person's employment of that capital. An ML engineer would be of little use without the company's cluster of GPUs on which to train models. So what brings the value? The cluster or the engineer? Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

I’ve found the high concentration of opportunities in the Bay Area to be very valuable, enough so to relocate once and take full advantage for half my career. Spreading them thinly around the entire country (or the world!) will add a lot of friction and leave more people stuck in poor fits.

If everyone goes fully remote permanently, this isn’t an issue, but I don’t think a temporary pandemic will lead to that.
If Warner's girlfriend had told them he was planning to use the bomb to take out a major node in their mass surveillance infrastructure one imagines they might have pursued the investigation a little further.
>A big difference is that high incomes are much more widely distributed across industries in the US than London.

[...]

>An under-rated feature of US cities is the diversity of occupations that can command relatively high incomes.

The way I've explained this to people is that it's entirely possible in the US to rise to the top of your profession in any industry without ever moving to NY or LA, except maybe finance for NY and film/television for LA.[1] The equivalent is possible in Australia, Canada, and Germany, but impossible in the UK or France.

[1] And even here there are exceptions. For the entirety of the century that Hollywood has been "Hollywood", the creative types in LA have worked under control of the money men in NY. This is still true, except that the money men are now also in Dallas (AT&T), Philadelphia (Comcast), or Tokyo (Sony). In finance, one can become a managing director at a New York investment bank while always based in a regional office like Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas, or San Francisco (I think Byron Trott never left Chicago during his Goldman career).
Agreed, they have even begun making good hardware outside of gaming. The surface range is hugely popular in the corporate scene.
I had the same questions myself, though not in the US but in Israel. We started vaccinations on the 20th and reached 500k yesterday, now up to 100k daily. (out of 8.8m population)

The media tried to cover all the how-s, when-s and what-if-s and did okay, and if you google for it you can find a government website with details about the vaccination campaign.

Finding out who's first in line was also easier than expected, that same info website has a link with a list of groups. The gist of it is: medical teams, elderly people, people aged >65, at-risk, then anyone who wants. It's a fairly long list but if you're interested see [1].

Re: signing up, at first it was via phone calls but later on HMOs (health orgs) made it possible to sign up via their apps. Once you sign up it's usually about a week. Some people somehow got an appointment for February but it was moved up to early January very quickly. E.g., my dad.

--

[1]: From what I know and can find online now, after medical teams we vaccinated: nursing home caregivers & residents; then anyone over the age of 65 who signs up; then immunosuppressed people (implants etc.); then people with majorly reduced lung capacity; then personal caregivers. Those are all titled "first priority".

"Second priority" is: other risk groups such as diabetes, obesity, serious lung disease, hypertension, etc.; then high-exposure groups such as teachers, prisoners and guards, first responders. After that, anyone who wants to be vaccinated can sign up.

"Priority" also means "wave" at the moment; meaning until we vaccinated all (interested) people aged >65 I, a healthy person <30, can't get the vaccine.

>I’m no specialist on the US system, so could be wrong, but I heard from a friend who paid $4K cash for a broken ankle (arguably out of a total bill of $25K+, and not sure what type of healthcare they had), whereas your bill in the U.K., France or Spain for the same injury would be exactly zero (as an example, from countries I know better)

UK, yes. In France, aren't there copayments? I thought the French system typically covers 70% of hospital bills.

I use my iPhone 7 for a wide variety of creative video and audio projects. It's getting harder now though, because UI funnels that arrive with updates sometimes strip custom workflows I come up with. App developers seem to be moving to in-app purchases of preset packs instead of creative controls.

Here is a gallery of ~1 minute abstract videos with custom soundtracks. The apps I used were LumaFusion, Synthscaper, Fieldscaper, Defekt, FilterStack, Fragment, Kino Glitch, 8mm, Hyperspektiv, Plotagraph, and Virtual ANS.

>> Governments really need to do the heavy lifting though ...

Companies like Apple outsource their assembly lines to unscrupolous contract manufacturers in 3rd world countries with substandard labor/human rights/environmental practices precisely to avoid the "heavy lifting" from gov't at home and also hopefully deflect the blames when their shenanigans get exposed. They feign fake outrage, send fake instigators; then "suspend" until the bad PR dies down -- wash, rinse, repeat! Tim Apple, aka, Apple's "supply-chain-genius", seems like he knows what he's doing.

In the meantime, at home Tim Apple and his cohorts parade around making feel-good virtue signals on everything from environment, to racism, to immigration, to equality, to privacy, to you name it, so Apple's fan base can feel less guilt and blissfully turn a blind eye to abuses in the 3rd world.

>> apart from refusing to hand over money/work they are very limited in what they can do.

money talks, bs walks. Apple's money has far more leverage than empty promises from politicians in most underdeveloped world. It's just that Apple is really interested in cutting cost at sweatshop factories and making money, not promoting some idealistic goals Apple purported to stand up for at home.
> No it isn't. Shareholder capitalism is one-share-one-vote, but those shares can and usually are concentrated under the control of a small number of people. The GGGP seems to be talking about a system of one-worker-one-vote, which would prevent that kind of concentration and therefore have a different dynamic.

The distinction you're making doesn't appear relevant. If you're an employee and your company merges with one of equal size, your vote is diluted by half. If you're a shareholder and your company merges with one of equal size, your vote is diluted by half. It's true whether you own one share or a million.

> Also, shareholders tend to monomanically pursue maximization of dividends + capital gains over some time horizon, while I'd imagine a worker would care a more diverse range of things.

=> But being a monopoly provides more resources to tackle those other issues, at the expense of the customers, and why do the employees care about them any more than the shareholders would?
I suspect I know the cause of this -- there was a change to Google Maps not long ago, related to how it computes destination points when your destination is a large area (such as a large park.) It used to try to take you to the official address, or some central point; these days, what I observe is that it takes you to _some_ point where the road hits the edge of the destination area. I'm not sure how it chooses what point, but it looks like it missed.

(Note: I don't work for Google, and haven't for many years. I mostly noticed this change because it finally fixed a longstanding directions issue that I first reported ABOUT TEN YEARS AGO, involving directions to the Pittsburgh International Airport.)
It really doesn’t matter what one thinks should or shouldn’t happen. The best mechanism to determine the price of something is for the buyer and seller to agree on a number. AKA supply and demand.

Try operating a business otherwise, and you’ll get steamrolled by others allocating resources more productively.

Obviously this is subject to government regulations, but the context is outcomes between competing entities in the same framework, who aren’t making life or death decisions like in the emergency room of a hospital.
Only people using Safari < 13 will see that message. 13 is 1.5 years old, so yours must be older. We saw tons of wasm failures on Safari < 13, to the point that it was better to stop people before they got deep into something and hit a failure.

We run the entirety of SQLite, compiled to wasm, in the browser, among other things. It depends on the course, but our version checks are site-wide because it's all one app.
Could you give an example of an ill motive?
Oh I love this! Have you ever built the app?
The OP’s claim was that governments have given themselves the right to disappear people. That’s a legal change which couldn’t be done without the standard public process. Also, in general, when people are arbitrarily detained or disappeared, the outside world does hear about it, even in highly authoritarian regimes (see eg the Amnesty website for plenty of examples).
Yes, which aids the spamming.

The first 6 digits of a card number is called the BIN code. That leaves just 9 digits that have to be spammed.

The fact that BIN lists are publicly available is reducing the space significantly.
That's pretty nifty, and a good idea.

You probably should look at using sqlite or even json to persist future follow ups... It's lost on restart at the moment?

Also as a user I'd want an instant "stop" to these messages as it could get abused.

Finally, it would be good to support other mailing servers than gmail.

> My favorite logical inconsistency in the food pyramid is that dairy is given it’s own category of required daily intake for a healthy diet, but 65% of the global population has some level of lactose intolerance. The government was claiming that people with lactose intolerance cannot have a complete diet.

Keep in mind that lactose intolerance isn't evenly distributed across the globe. People of Northern European extraction have the lowest rates, so the Standard American Diet overlooking or ignoring other extant USAian groups' dietary needs and constraints from consideration (however numerous they may be among the US' population) shouldn't be too startling.
> However even with all this government oversight, lots of regulation, and very large budget, they haven't been able to make a dent in the major problems like homelessness.

All major economies have some problems. There are no binary switches to fix or unfix a problem, especially one as complex as homelessness.

There is one obvious, and effective, fix for homelessness. Provide homes. This would run into a plethora of issues, many political, some social, but it does solve a shit-ton of issues. When the homeless are provided with homes, they tend to have fewer emergency health interventions, fewer police interactions and cost society much less than leaving them homeless. But I cannot see a nation or a state which is still arguing over whether or not healthcare should bankrupt people will go the extra steps to provide the homeless with free accommodation, especially in SF.
I actually think it would be possible to use Linux as a core and build a reasonable userland on top of it, just like MacOS did with Darwin. But it would be a boatload of work.

Nothing you said has any connection to whether it's journalism. He received and published politically relevant information.

>We are talking about Assange's official relationship with Russian military intelligence years before he hid in the Ecuadorian embassy

So based on something he did in 2016, you think that's proof he was a Russian agent from the mid 2000's that the US intelligence agencies just let do whatever he wanted for years. I do not understand that point of view.

> always will be a bad faith argument

The need for intelligence agencies to keep their information secret is not more important than the accused's right to a fair trial.

I also don't have any clue what you think I knew already. I have seen no evidence that Assange or Snowden are foreign agents.
Beam uses reduction, basically instructions count. I believe native functions can still lock up a scheduler (and must provide an estimate of their icount) which is one of the reasons why they’re tricky.
Hello HN,

I am a 14-year-old developer from Mumbai currently studying in grade 10.

After being frustrated with not being able to share and collaborate on links with friends and family, I created SeeLink, a platform to simplify sharing and collaborating on links with friends and family. After 3 months of work, I have created a complete platform that simplifies link sharing and collaboration, allowing you to seamlessly share, save, and collaborate on links. I built it with Python and Flask, used Bootstrap for the front-end, and am using Heroku for hosting the site. There were a lot of technical difficulties I faced and had to wade through a lot of uncharted territories, but I'm super excited to finally launch SeeLink and get it out to the world! Also, let me know if you have any feedback, suggestions, or questions. Feel free to ask me any questions about how I built the site, and I'd be happy to answer them.
No, that's not ageism - Also that's almost never how the story goes.

The last paragraph is more commonly:

He/she applies to a position relevant to his/her skills, and makes the mistake of listing all is previous experience in the resume - No response. After a while, he downplays his resume - gets responses. In the interview he/she answers every question with great accuracy, but something just doesn't "click" to the interviewer (the interviewer is sure he/she is filtering on skill alone, but is very wrong about that)

The fact is, recruiters and interviewers hire people they like, people that are similar to them. If you're from the same place look similar and from a similar age it generally has a lot more weight than anything skill-related.

I‘d like to aggregate the output of a few REST calls visually. What options do I have nowadays? Thanks!
> to the extent I'd sooner work for someone else than accept a pay cut for doing exactly the same work.

Obviously. An employer performing pay cuts is betting that the employee doesn’t have a better option, and/or they are betting the can replace them if they did leave at a cheaper price and still derive the same utility.

Whether or not this pans out is never certain, but it’s no different than the risks of a business changing to a new supplier offering better prices or putting out contracts for a bid.
