> "Every country immediately jumped onto the lockdown bandwagon"

Sweden had no lockdown; The Lancet editor, a member of SAGE and the UK's former Health Secretary all said the UK lockdown was late and cost many lives for being late. Italy locked down on 9th March, Singapore on 7th April, Kuwait on 10th May, Bhutan on 11th August. It's not every country, it wasn't all at the same time, and it definitely wasn't immediate - e.g. within a few days of Wuhan's first lockdown on 23rd January.

> "presumably because of peer-pressure, to avoid being shamed."

Presumably because of a global disease pandemic.

> "I think it's quite possible that the medicine could be worse than the disease, but that discussion hasn't even been had."

It's been had a lot, months and months of it. Committees of medics, researchers, policy advisors, economists, politicians, civil servants, have debated it, Twitter threads have argued it, newspapers have written about it, it's being discussed right here in this thread on HN.
My work laptop is a 2018 or 19 i5 13" MBP with an Intel GPU. It sometimes feels slower than my old MBP (i7 with Nvidia 680 or somesuch GPU). I doubt the CPU difference is the issue, but perhaps there's enough GPU difference that can cause IDEA to be slower on machines without a dedicated GPU.

Or who knows; could be something about the projects - number or sizes of files, language used and references between files, etc.
Kind of misleading title – what isn’t planned to be supported is installing PWA:s as standalone apps on desktop Firefox: https://twitter.com/englishmossop/status/1344428028315590656...

Service Workers, push notifications and such are still supported.

And I believe you can install PWA:s on Firefox for Android?
Re 6 well actually, when people say they've lost weight, they're talking about the magnitude of their weight as measured; this just so happens to be proportional to mass since gravity + centrifugal force is relatively constant on Earth.

As to 8, well actually when referring to objects one would by default use a reference frame where those objects are approximately at rest. E.g. a reasonable reference frame would be one where the aforementioned center of mass is at rest. So it's reasonable to say the Earth and Sun are 8 light minutes apart.
I missed? Such an important was not mentioned

NoNewPrivileges=yes

"A new system.conf setting NoNewPrivileges= is now available which may be used to turn off acquisition of new privileges system-wide (i.e. set Linux' PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS for PID 1 itself, and thus also for all its children). Note that turning this option on means setuid binaries and file system capabilities lose their special powers. While turning on this option is a big step towards a more secure system, doing so is likely to break numerous pre-existing UNIX tools, in particular su and sudo."
>But that tool doesn't exist. It doesn't exist for the web, or for iOS, or for Android, or for Windows, or for any modern console. Why?

My 2 cents: the market for animation on the web collapsed due to changes in Youtube's algorithm, and Flash itself has been more or less superseded by game engines that can export to the web, 3d tools like MMD and game mods.
In medicine they give the probability out of all people using the drug, you gave the conditional probability with many assumptions.

This would be like saying "this drug might kill 1 out of 1000 people who also have this rare gene which only 1% of population has".
Fauci sees U.S. gaining control over pandemic by next autumn
Technically, if they work 20% less with the same output, productivity has increased by 25%, not 20%. They are underpaid by 25%.

It's weird that owners are paid proportional to aggregate productivity (units produced and sold), but those delivering the results are most often paid proportional to costs (hours worked).

I get why the system is this way, but it's not a "good" system in my opinion.
Why didn't you use the Google service (sorry can't remember the name) that warns you when your keywords appear somewhere on the web?

Depends on cost of parking. Parking can be outrageously expensive downtown in many cities, to the point it is cheaper to take Uber in.

Installable PWA:s could in many cases replace Electron apps completely and would be superior as they would contain a much more up to date browser.
How about the value modern society gains from having Amazon in it?
Nothing in this universe is really round - "being round" is just an abstract mathematical concept.
> current Tech giants are need to be replaced

There's no reason their replacement will be any more moral. They should be dismantled imho.
In my opinion, someone just needs to rebuild Flash, but based on modern web standards. We don’t need “productive conversations”. We already had the ideal tool - Flash. Just make a feature by feature duplication of what Flash was.
Choose between Btrfs and LVM-ext4
So the technology isn’t there and nobody has gotten anywhere close to achieving those significant breakthroughs in vision or AI, but it’s “perfectly possible” with current hardware “because humans do it”? This answer makes no sense.

The real answer is nobody knows whether current hardware is enough or not, including Tesla. Until they demonstrate it, it’s just a claim. But they can’t sell the cars on FSD promise if they say it.
So do native apps, especially on iOS! It seems like every time I go back to using an iPad that I need to find replacements for a good number of apps.
Although they don't affect models due to the isomorphic quality you describe, these historical representational accidents seem to have a powerful effect on our intuition.

I am reminded of the conceptual differences between the Copenhagen and Bohmian interpretations. Using one or the other basically does not change our models or results, but what affect do these different perspectives have on the field?

Agreed it is now far too complex and the cloud version appallingly slow. I no longer recommend it to anyone.
Honestly the lack of PWA support (Spotify, Figma, code-server, background sync etc.) was the reason I dropped Firefox earlier this year. I now have a system with nothing but DWM, st and Chromium, and it’s beautiful; no maintenance, no hundreds of parallel Chromium/Electron installations, no need to support proprietary platforms and most importantly no need to be a slave to the Play store, App store or Microsoft store. Why Mozilla wouldn’t support such a libre ecosystem, even though they clearly benefit from it’s existence (check the mobile Firefox usage stats; it’s nothing even compared to the small desktop share) is beyond me. I’ve had high hopes for Firefox after the quantum release, but at this point using anything other than a Chromium or WebKit-based browser just seems to be a waste of time to me, and I’ll gladly take the downside of a monolithic system if it means that I and my users are free from proprietary platform-specific apps and proprietary distribution mechanisms.
A former PM prioritized issues in the backlog by making a ticket and giving it a name like "Groom these next" or "Prioritized for January release", placing it in the backlog, then placing the tickets to be prioritized above it

They also hid bugs from being counted in reports by marking them as stories but that's another conversation
You do know that one can publish PWA:s to Google Play Store by using TWA:s + that Google are experimenting with allowing plain PWA:s there + have recently launched a way to still allow in app purchases in such?

Also – on desktop many apps are Electron apps today, which is a user hostile workaround for lack of installable PWA:s.
All I want from Jira is to allow me to use Markdown.
> never let people SSH in with a password

this seems to be a recent cargo cult rooted in the fact that people tend to choose weak passwords and/or reuse them, but there is technically nothing wrong about it and the opensshd defaults (MaxStartups) make bruteforcing reasonable username/password combinations unfeaseable.

A private key is just a very long password that is stored on disk and if there is no password on the key-file, it is stored there in plaintext an can be used by every other application (e.g. browser)

Rendering is what happens when fat is cooked slowly over low heat and becomes a liquid, rather than crisping up. What pixels have to do with that, I have no idea.
Incidentally I've been trying out Digikam for the last couple days, mostly because of face recognition. The whole app is pretty slow on lower end hardware, they even recommend having an SSD which my travel laptop which I tested it on doesn't have.

That's when I thought I should look for a web based solution because that would also solve acessing and managing the lib from multiple devices, and now there's this post here. I guess before making another switch I should check out other solutions too and compare their feature matrix and how well those work. With digikam I noticed that it seems to overfit once you tagged a couple hundred faces of the same person, for example, and is less likely to identify that person in new photos.
There will be no change. Western ideals triumph all the eastern ones in terms of attractiveness. They're like drugs, unsustainable (especially with consumption), but everyone sees them once and gets hooked. The U.S. rules the western ideals.

I don't see China having the influence that Hollywood had. There will not be a Chinese equivalent of McDonalds, KFC etc either with their own food that people of other culture would buy.

What we might see is a rise of preferential trade agreements without the WTO. China is catching up in semiconductors and aeronautics. It's a matter of time, and I would give them a decade.

But the west will still rule in terms of art and culture. East/Asia will rule with technology.

And this will be the century of intense competition. Evan Spiegel already said it and his assessment, I think he is right on mark. Yet to be seen if it turns out to be another century of humiliation for China or is it America's turn (yeah it's harsh remarks, but you can't really cover it up anymore).

No guaranteed wins for either side. Whoever gets complacent loses.
But Flash collapsed before YouTube really became popular. It was the iPhone and the iPad coming out without flash support that really killed flash. YouTube didn’t have anything to do with it. If anything, YouTube got popular because of the death of Flash - it filled the void.
This is DARVO [0]. You're attempting to copy the fascism of the Republicans onto the Democrats. This might have worked better if it weren't for the Republicans' neglect over the past executive term; with hundreds of thousands of Americans dead or rioting because they're tired of starving and being shot, it is increasingly obvious that the Republicans are incapable of leading.

Neoliberalism is terrible, yeah, but your conflation of neoliberalism with neoconservatism is puerile and unhelpful. (And your posting history makes it clear that, because you're wealthy, you don't really give a shit about other people.)

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

There is no direct air flight from Italy to Wuhan without going through Amsterdam Schipol or Beijing. There are no Shipping ports in inland Wuhan.

Do you truly believe it is a realistic scenario that a virus this infectious could traverse from northern Italy to Wuhan, Hubei, without creating multiple infection hotspots along the way?

If I am to put on my tinfoil hat this is exactly the sort of disinformation I would expect from CCP propaganda in order to fight US politician memes of the "China Virus".
The problem right now is that you need to go outside the sandbox in order to make a web app feel first class.

Chrome has solved it with a modal/dialog that ask users to add the app to the home screen, but I think the modal/dialog in Chrome is too spammy. It's better if users can do it manually, but its currently hidden too deep in the Safari UI, and Im not even sure you can reach it in mobile safari UI.
"Flash content will automatically stop working in January even if you don’t remove the player manually."

My opinion only here, but the only company to blame for this is Adobe and this isn't corporations slowly taking over your computer (aside from the fact that yes, it is happening) - this is just another example of how Adobe hates their customers, sort of like how you can't buy Photoshop anymore and you have to put up with their cloud updater that will delete your mac's backblaze folder. Software with an expiration date is an old poison that Adobe has repurposed to EOL their own product because they're tired of maintaining it.
I always admired the "management strategy" of Captain Picard in Star Trek TNG. He asked for advice, listened to people he trusted, and then made a decision that he took total responsibility for. He was always willing to listen, but there was no confusion about who had the ultimate authority. Also, he trusted domain experts to do their work without micromanaging them, but didn't hesitate to bring them into line if they strayed too far from the team's objectives.
What would you recommend now?
The interface used to be simpler and less in the way of getting things done. Then they added personas, UX and tried to "help" the user. You now need more clicks to accomplish the same stuff while information is more hidden than before also.

There's no way to cater every possible workflow without feature bloat. However, the space is ripe for simpler, more accessible solutions that supports work across multiple projects.
Seems like Firefox is afraid of retaliation from Apple. If you could sidestep App store then likely Apple would have banned FF altogether from their computers and phones.

One argument I've heard is that women tend to do better at men at picking up 'soft skills,' i.e. interacting with other people, while men tend to be better at physical labor. New low-skill jobs tend to focus on soft skills, while jobs requiring physical labor are disappearing. It's unclear how much of this shift is driven by the minimum wage, but certianly it incentivizes automation/outsourcing/illegal labor, which tend to disproportionately affect physical jobs. This leaves poor, uneducated men pretty vulnerable.

I don't have any sources on hand, but there was a nice feature in the Economist about this a year or two ago.
Many people hypothesize similar things, but there is as yet no real reason behind these hypotheses.

Still, it would be an extremely exciting discovery for physics if it turned out that a QC is not physically realizable. It would prove that quantum mechanics is not the final description of the world, and it would likely be a huge step forward for understanding the measurement problem.
What would you have us use instead? Trello?
Thanks! I knew I saw this globe somewhere else before. What a strange feeling ... a very strong deja vu, but mystery solved :)
On iPhones the engine is Apple's. Firefox is just a skin.
The current top comment (sibling to the one I’m replying to) argues that keeping Python environments across actuaries/users computers up to date is too difficult.

This is nicely solved by using R server.

I’ve worked in an R server shop, and the experience is really nice. You log on to the server in chrome or Firefox and the browser window basically becomes RStudio and all calculations are done on the server and all code and data also lives on the server which is a huge bonus in terms of data protection. No copies are floating around on peoples laptops and if Johnny is sick and forgot to push his code to git - no worries, it’s all on the r studio server.

I don’t now of a nearly as good Python solution. I think Conda suggests using jupyter lab, and while that is a great environment it’s not great if it’s all you can use.

- Speaking another language than English. Language is a key to access a culture.
- Being more or less aware of your neurological (isolation, attention, sleep, meditation, n-back) and evolutionary needs (fasting, exercise) to infer consequences for your own health. Tangentially related: how to read studies as a layperson to ultimately make decisions for yourself & your health?
- Mastering/recapitulation of fundamentals of your craft (to stay sharp): "Study microeconomics, game theory, psychology, persuasion, ethics, mathematics, and computers."
- Investing & microeconomics
- Creativity: "Specific knowledge is often highly technical or creative. It cannot be outsourced or automated."
- Being aware of non-conventional (and preferably non-exploitative) money making opportunities: "The Internet has massively broadened the possible space of careers. Most people haven't figured this out yet."
- How to operate a search engine effectively (how to come up with the right keywords to get what you're exactly looking for)
- Self discipline in a highly distractible atmosphere
- Emotional self-management
- Organizing: PARA system, Johnny File System, Obsidian

It's definitely not all I want, but that would be huge. Also in Confluence, please.
What happens when you create a Pod in Kubernetes?
I'm gonna out myself because nobody is giving reasons

Why is it bad to git clone on a production server? Let's assume I'm not an idiot please, just misguided. This isn't reddit.

Let's also assume I'm using an ssh key that is only used for the purposes of pulling the repo, no write access, never reused (deploy keys as the git* services call them)

It's really hard to see these tips as anything but parroting someone else if nobody throws down a reason
Surely that's the same for an employee relationship though? If you have multiple employment offers in high paid industries, you are going to get them to bargain and negotiate quite well.
Many-worlds is definitely not the most popular interpretation among practitioners, Copenhagen is by far.
Great article. As you are likely not native English, just as a tip you can actually simplify a lot of statements by removing the word ‘the’. As one example:

> When the users need the features from Jira and request them to configure the plugins for many application scenarios, which contribute to the overall complexity of UIs.

Becomes

> When users need features from Jira they request plugins, which contributes to UI complexity.

Not a criticism - just thought this might help!
Tell that to RIM.
Reminds me of CIS benchmarks and their hardened images https://youtu.be/71ek_fm3TNs
> There's also the option to reduce speed as much as possible, aka break hard, that a computer can do a) earlier than a human would b) much harder than a human would.

a) A computer can initiate braking a small fraction of a second faster than a human, which is great but not such a huge difference in braking distance.

b) A computer cannot brake any harder than a human, certainly not "much harder". The max deceleration rate is traction-limited, which any remotely modern car (last ~25 years) can easily sustain with an untrained driver thanks to modern ABS.

(As a side hobby I instruct in car control and accident avoidance clinics. Blindly braking hard is not often the best answer.)
I recognize much of what you say. Worst experience I have is with devs who call themselves 'coach' and know it all. They should be quiet more often.

At the same time, I have this junior dev in my team who is very stubborn and never listens. This is very annoying, she can work days on a single small assignment. When I give advise on how the problem can be tackled I see it is just being ignored.

So, in these cases 'listen more' is good advise :)
Also ironic is that Apple dont recommend adding web apps to the app store. Eg. wrapping web sites in an app.
Oh, I hear you! But that’s part of the taxi medallion scam. They convince governments that the medallion owners drive their own cabs (ha!) and everyone just pretends that the exploitative rental scheme for drivers doesn’t exist. Like I said, it’s always struck me as odd that so many people that I agree with ideologically are insanely loud about how evil/corrupt Uber and Lyft are (and they are!), but say nothing about the taxi ecosystem, which is, I will argue, worse for drivers and passengers.

I’ve spoken to enough Uber drivers who used to be cab drivers to know that the alternative isn’t any better. That isn’t to say those people like Uber — but it’s not any worse than the taxi industry. It’s almost like we have to face the reality that essential jobs in our society, like drivers, are often poorly paid and exploited. And that it is systemic. But people don’t want to do that.
> Never let people SSH in with a password...

Why not add libcrack (constraints) and auto-expiration of passwords instead of locking people out completely?

Also adding fail2ban is a very effective solution to prevent brute forcing.

> and for the love of god, stop leaving private SSH keys on servers

Why not? Unencrypted private keys are dangerious, OK, but I fail to see the problem with a good password protected private key?
4. Since when are oblate spheroids not “round”? Is “round” really a synonym for “shaped like a perfect sphere”?

5. One reason we might not see quantum effects at a large scale is that they are small. Another reason might be that the effects are large, but we are entangled with the system we are observing.
I have personally have nothing against Terraform, and we’re using it for a lot of infrastructure-heavy things on our platform, but I think there are way better frameworks when deploying Lambda function.

Particularly the Serverless framework will save you A LOT of boilerplate IAC regarding all the event-driven integrations Lambda currently has to offer, and manages the full build and packaging cycle with the relevant language specific plugins, e.g. for Node or Python.

Others are the CDK, SAM or ARC.
Github issue tracker is a fantastic alternative if you aren't deep down the Jira hole.
Yeah. Major sources of everyday microplastics are:
1. Washing synthetic clothes in the washing machine
2. Normal wear and tear of tires

This made me go from being very alarmed to the realization that if these things causes major harm, we would have undoubtedly known about it by now
