This is one of the strategy that I play in life. Most of my friends aren't aware that I do this intentionally (with balance of course, sometimes I did go off the rails but rarely) and it pays off socially bigger than I anticipated for. I didn't start doing that knowing that it would pay off though, it was just who I am. I think Paris Hilton/Trump/etc also probably discovered it unintentionally.
What corrupt activities was Trump found guilty of? I think this organization simply likes certain political types and hates others. Lula never got this award though he was charged and found guilty of corruption.

That's not any more useful, though, is it, since you don't know the distance between exits 7 and 8?

If you're running low on fuel, and you know you need exit 32, and you come up on exit 15, you don't know if there are any exists between 15 and 32 but you can at least judge whether your car can make it 17 more miles on its fuel.

If you're low on fuel, and you know you need exit 8, and you come up on exit 7, you know it's the last exit before you need to get off the Interstate, but you don't know the distance between exits 7 and 8, so you can't make an informed decision on whether the fuel you have remaining is sufficient to get to your exit.

To be fair, your point is the argument my SO has been battling me with for the past decade :-)
One barrier to shamelessness catching on as a strategy is that some people can pull it off and some people can’t. I think it has more to do with charisma than with intelligence or talent, and charisma is something that's hard to intentionally cultivate (or at least it seems to me that you can pull yourself out of charisma negative by eliminating bad habits, but I can't think of anyone who went from sub-charismatic to super-charismatic).
> It was not until mid-January that the seriousness of the outbreak began to be discussed. Then, on Jan. 20, the head of a Chinese government's expert team finally declared there was no doubt about "human-to-human transmission."

So not true.

On Dec 30, Dr Li sent a message warning about human transmission.

However, the very next day the local health officials stayed on the party line that there was no human transmission despite all of the evidence.

Then on Jan 1, Dr Li and other doctors were arrested and forced to recant their statements.

What about the actual vs. perceived wear and tear on the ships(?) transporting the goods, do they experience 5 days worth of repair/upkeep (fuel?) needs, or 5 minutes? Maintaining the transport (vehicle, ransible, teleporter, whatever) has some sort of cost - TANSTAAFL.
To be honest, I don't blame Apple for this.
I blame the ARM ecosystem which is very fragmented, each company working with ARM is contributing to the stuff they are interested in and that's it.

> The US is wealthy enough

Is it though? I know USA borrows heavily and spends a lot of its money on luxury items like a fearsome army and the most expensive health care (per capita) in the world.

Also the way USA is making that money is by heavily taxing its value creating people who are highly motivated to do their best work by a lack of safety net and other niceties. Now I wonder if you provide them all shelter, food, healthcare, entertainment and transport, who would be motivated to work anymore?!

It's funny because I have never seen the mentioned Firefox error on any Jira instance. The problem is mostly server-side: it's slow as hell! I'm personally using go-jira [0], but even that is slow: the problem as I said is not (only) the frontend, but the backend.

Thanks and I don't mind at all!

To be honest for the application I didn't want to expose a database serial (otherwise you'd know you're user #100, for example) or use UUIDs, so it's less about scale and more about obscuring ids. The library is well suited for huge scale scenarios nonetheless.
Totally agree! Flash and Actionscript were great and allowed both coders and non-coders to produce polished applications/animations/simulations quickly. I would choose Actionscript over Javascript any day of the week for that matter.

Ask HN: "Smart” photo backup software for Android/iOS
In the spirit of the recent posts about Google Photos alternatives does anyone have any leads on the software/mobile clients that can do some or all of the following:

* configure types backup targets ( local network reachable/globally reachable )

* use GPS to determine if the target ( local network ) should be reachable ( it makes no sense to attempt to backup to a server located at my house at 4am if I'm travelling )

* backup at settings to trigger backups only at a specific time

* support multiple synchronization polices such as updated file on a mobile will update a file on a target, but updated file on a target would not update a file on a mobile and reverse ( preferably including separate support for policies on deleted files ), preferably a default and a per-folder policies

* support for a concept of "archived offline" media i.e. media that has been backed up to the server, marked as backed up on a server and removed from the server would be treated as present on a server for the purposes of skipping backup of a non-modified media on a mobile device without it needing to be present on a server. Should the media be updated on a mobile, the normal update policies would apply

The headline is eye-catching, but they spell it out rather clearly in the first paragraph.

I don't mind drone rules in principle. Wild west was fun while it lasted but we need to be aware we are in control of a flying chunk of metal going at high speed controlled by people who probably aren't experts and haven't practiced emergency avoidance maneuvers enough.

The annoying part right now though is that while we are figuring it all out, regulations are changing fast and often. It seems you could almost buy a drone and be in different legal framework by the time you fly it. Certainly inside one season the reasonably expensive (for us) dji my friend and I bought halvsies went from completely unencumbered to needing licensing because it was over 250g. In USA it seems they went through a few frameworks last few years as well. Which I understand, it's a new territory and moving fast... Just makes it a bit tricky to stay informed, legal and compliant.
Whether you have to log in or whether any data is stored locally isn't a technical distinction made by whether the client is implemented as a browser application or a native application. Your post is one big non sequitur.

Moving from streaming music from my Spotify Javascript client to streaming music from my native iTunes Swift app does nothing for me. I'd say it's actually worse because now my solution isn't cross-platform anymore and I've lost the browser chrome's dev tools like the network inspector.

A browser client puts much more control in the hands of the user. It's one of the last bastions of freedom that we have before all software in locked behind app stores and app approval processes.

Shame can only be seen as useful by someone completely preoccupied with it. If you become free of shame, you realise that there are other "filters" and motivators of your behaviour. Fear, desire, pride, caring, courage, creativity, love. All these emotions shape our participation in society. If someone thinks that some single emotion is human's only motivator, that's just a projection of him being stuck in that emotion.
I think Bolsonaro is the worst democratic president Brazil ever had. I think he is the dumbest one too and I think he is personally responsible for a large percentage of avoidable Covid deaths in Brazil. I think he is corrupt too. But I think he is not more corrupt than tons of other politicians in Brazil, and also not more corrupt than several other world leaders.

Also, no drug lord considered to an “organized crime” relevance award?

This “award” is just a statement about the opinion of those behind it of which places took a turn for the worst this year. It is a political opinion as important /unimportant as any opinion article written by any of those supporting organizations. It is not a thought out selection with objective criteria. Just a way to influence society opinion. Which is ok btw, just not something worth taken as definite judgement about who was the more influential person in corruption and organized crime in 2020.

Moro resigned, in no way was he expelled of the government. Bolsonaro's stance has always been to be harsh on crime, and that's one of the reasons Moro accepted the invite in the first place. The fact that he left due to disagreements with the president does not mean that the government's stance on crime has changed.

Largely? Aren’t they completely unenforceable? I seem to recall some big case where a C suite executive left and that was unenforceable. All that’s left is board members with a fiduciary duty, if that.

California’s stance on non-competes is so broad and uncompromising that you could show up and represent yourself, drunk, versus the finest legal team money could buy and you’ll win.

Shamelessness is a bit like alcohol: it amplifies the characteristics of the subject.

This can be a good thing when it allows a good talent to be expressed, orit can be terrible if it allows a broken person to spread destruction upon others. In lesser bad examples, it can mean glorifying excessive selfish activities which take away from society in general.

But what particularly bothers me as an outcome of the last 5 years of US political shamelessness is how it has lowered the standard of discourse to literal schoolground name calling and blatant, even absurd fabrication of lies. I honestly don't know if that can ever be undone.

In 2020 because of having to stay at home (with my wife living in the mountains of Central Arizona, kids and grandkids on east/west coasts) I un-retired and am now working for an all remote medical AI company, and I like it a lot. In one year, I will be 70 but I hope to still be contributing to my company.

I worry about the state of the world, especially US/UK/etc. for 2021. I expect the COVID-19 situation to improve but the division of society into those who are doing great economically and those who are suffering will increase.

Before I went back to work I volunteered at my local food bank and met many people who were in poor economic shape, often because of one bad medical event that sucked up all their resources, etc. Politically I am a member of the Libertarian Party, and as is my right, my wife and I choose to spend much of our resources on charities and what we consider just social causes.

My hope for 2021 is that more people in the world raise their consciousness and start caring for other people and turn their backs on shallow materialism.
