Lawyers of HN:

I'm looking for a co-founder for our law firm, NeonLaw.com. We're building out a SaaS product, https://www.DeleteYourData.com so far with some decent success and plan to scale it this year. I also have some MRR with our business offering https://www.neonlaw.com/practice-areas/business and some ongoing litigation (which I hope to do less and less of).

Ideally, I can work with a privacy-conscious progressive attorney.

Interested? Please e-mail me at nick@neonlaw.com.
Arguable counterpoint: HDMI/DP in HDR mode, with typically 10 or 12 bit per channel.
I think DP still crams it into bytes, but last I checked, HDMI doesn't do anything like that. They tend to just send the raw binary image content.
VW has created a huge EV platform. You won't see it as much in the US but in Europe they'll probably unleash 40 models covering every category in the next 2-3 years.
> But the principals of free speech and assembly should not be sacrificed

I can't exercise my right to free assembly in good conscience when a pandemic is going on. I can't walk into a business with my mask off, which is literally an infringement on my right to free speech. I'd rather finish off the pandemic quickly and have full rights back than live with half "rights".
I did a deep dive into Deutsch's game-theoretic interpretation of QM (which he talks about mid-way through the talk) a while back. This is the result:

Oh, I was looking for something like this! I was thinking vinted.com for books. Because vinted takes care of all the payments and shipping, all you need is a printer to print the label and a visit to a drop-off point to sell/swap), which in essence turns it into a distributed wardrobe. And I want a distributed bookcase :)

Very curious to find out more, I signed up!
The vertical scaling of the counting function with log(p) went a little quick, does someone know an easy to digest resource to this?

If hospitals are full, then cancel paitents won't be diagnosed.

Had we locked down 2 weeks ago when SAGE said "Lock down now or else!" we'd have fewer people in hospital and more beds for preventative cancer surgery.

Sure, you could go round with a flamethrower burning anyone over the age of 70 for using precious resources just so you could have the pub open for a few more days. Is that your solution?
It's not so much that they are heavily subsidized per se. but rather that IC cars are heavily taxed. A Tesla in Norway costs slightly more than in the US, while an 'equivalent' BMW or Audi can cost ~3 times as much as in the US.
I too quit caffeine for 9 months in order to try and fix a perceived 'energy and alertness' problem. I was pretty serious about the affair and had some help from my wife to not only avoid coffee and tea but also the myriad snack-foods that sneak the stuff in. I've never been a soda drinker and consume nicotine about once per month.

The effects were negligible, the effort was an unproductive deviation from my normal routine and I stopped before a year had passed.

I did eventually fix the perceived energy problem. The answer (in my case) appears to be that I was spending too much time asleep in each 24 hour period.

This includes hybrids. It's really questionable to incentivize hybrid vehicles and selling it as a electrified success.

Discussions about the efficiency/environmental impact/... of combustion v.s. electric aside, it's obvious that driving a huge battery around will burn more fuel.

I think this can only be seen as a success for electrified motors if it's proven that they're actually being used.
DEX bytecode is compiled to native code since Android 5, Android 7 introduced a multi-layer where it is intepreted only to get the first execution profile for the JIT, then the JIT gathers PGO data while executing, which will be used by AOT compiler when the device is idle, afterwards only the pure machine code binary executes until the next update, or loading code that wasn't touched by the JIT.

As of Android 10, PGO data files are uploaded into the store and shared across similar devices so that the AOT compilation with PGO can be done right away on installation.

Having bytecodes doesn't mean being interpreted.

That is what I do with many services I use. I ask a reset password link every time I use them. I then just copy paste a random passphrase as new password and forget about it.

The chip that Pine64 is expected to move to in the next generation of the Pinephone, will cost the same low price as the current chip but be considerably more powerful. So, indeed, members of the Linux phone community can expect a more performant niche phone for a low price.

COVID vaccines aren’t believed to be indefinitely effective, so it’s very possible that less effective large scale vaccination effort would cycle through and fail to stop the spread long term. However, a sufficient vaccination effort could completely eliminate the disease globally.
Mindblowing.

The official Microsoft account even asks[0]:

Throughout this pandemic my impression is that nations generally failed on two fronts: 1. data sharing, and 2. scaling. You can't optimize what isn't measured and the vaccination programs that I know of are not sharing basic logistics data. In absence of hard data, people try to optimize systems based on hypothetical problems.

The U.S. seems unable to distribute their existing supply, Canada seems unable to acquire enough supply, the EU was slow to approve, and Israel seems to be firing on all cylinders. If we had better data perhaps we could do more than speculate about the emergent bottlenecks and best practices of each process chain.
A spy could also just clone the repo and travel to Iran, too.
> The question isn't whether this "may be" a harmful decision (of course it might); it is whether it is likely to be.

The statement said there was insufficient data to make that calculation definitively. If you want to take a course of action not borne out by the study, the FDA doesn’t go after you or your doctor for off label use. The FDA is clarifying that the unproven route is, well, unproven.

The FDA is all about medical risk vs provable results. They can’t intelligently comment on the uncontrolled unknown beyond saying that that you’re entering that territory. If you want odds on rolling the dice outside that space, they’re irrelevant to you. So stop looking there.

edit: what you want is a politician with the balls to say whether we should do it anyway and convince other politicians that they should own making that decision even if they turn out to be wrong. But Washington is full of cowards too cowardly to even go to bat for sticking to the studied regime beyond milktoast deference to science so you’re here expecting the FDA to start exceeding their role.
I do that for some services I rarely use. That works actually fairly well.
No phone-as-key? I'd pay $14k just for that. It's life changing.

Again -- I feel like I'm reading a different article. You're totally allowed to feel however you feel about the article.

"focused work towards uni & self-improvement and exercising" doesn't mean just learning a new language or getting experience with a new tool or framework. To me it means making time for mental health, emotional health (destressing), physical health, meditating.

Perhaps I'm reading it completely wrong.

tl;dr FDA to Public Health authorities: don’t screw around. Administer these vaccines in the manner prescribed because it is proven to be effective.

Glad to see it.
One Year in Open-Source Neural Search: Jina AI's 2020 Year in Review
You're talking about cross-cutting UI concerns (themes, widgets, window system), which I agree are largely mature, while I'm talking about vertical combinations of specific UIs and subsystems, which aren't mature by a long shot.

Example: "delete file" on Windows. Windows has relatively aggressive file locking, but if you try to delete a file that's open, it just errors out, it doesn't tell you what's using the file and give you the option to (force) quit it.

See also: networking, disk management, permissions, sound, preferences, ipc, etc. There are a hundred of these "just needs a bit of work" UI verticals, but designers keep trying to solve these problems with themes and functionality subsets, which are doomed to fail because the underlying issue is a lack of expressiveness in the existing UI, not an excess of it. Meanwhile, systems people live with "just use CLI / sysinternals / wireshark / nmap" like it isn't an issue that bog-standard tasks still require arcane tools in 2020 (arcane by the standards of typical users).
Imagine that you and your partner are remodeling a bathroom. It's a simple way for you both - plus your designer - to collaboratively collect and view images of sinks, cabinets, fixtures, tubs, tile, etc.

Why break up totally different services in the name of monopoly-cracking? What's the monopoly on? In what sector would breaking it into different services decrease monopolies?
After seeing this and being a bit disappointed it was for Mac only, I wrote a very quick and dirty script for Linux that does something similar [1].

Probably has lots of bugs and missed edge cases (although it should handle not unmuting you if you mute yourself), but was fun to write none the less and might be useful.

If you want to play it, please have a read before using it (it has to capture key presses using xinput but does nothing with actual key values) and I won't accept any responsibility if it mutes / unmutes you at an inopportune time, etc.

I think this is part of the overall issue with the handling of this pandemic. No one wants to take responsibility.

The FDA's job is not to decide which lives are more valuable than others, or what our society's risk tolerance is. Their job is to keep people safe and to present the data and the options to political leaders.

The FDA clearly has a goal of not tarnishing their reputation. If they make the wrong decision here, then they lose credibility with approvals for future drugs that come out to treat Alzheimer's or diabetes or whatever else.

Ultimately, I think we look to our scientists to make many decisions that aren't really their place to decide. A scientist can tell me that vaccine X is this effective based on their data. Or even that they have a hunch that treatment X will do Y. But ultimately, I think it's on our elected leaders' shoulders to hear the scientists out about what the various risks are and then make a decision. Unfortunately, I don't have faith that our current elected leaders can adequately listen to our scientists counsel and then make wise decisions accordingly.
It's fairly frustrating that no one is going to prison over this 100% greed-motivated, brazen corporate crime.
Plug-in hybrids used for routine urban driving (commutes, errands, etc...) are effectively EVs. I don't have usage data for Norway specifically, but the numbers that have been thrown around elsewhere are something like 20-30% of the driving is done using the gasoline engine.

Almost everyone celebrating "electric cars" in that headline is really cheering for carbon reduction, and this for sure qualifies.

It's not just that, but also some pressure from the EU Commission:

Regulation 2019/631 sets new EU fleet-wide CO2 emission targets are set for the years 2025 and 2030, both for newly registered passenger cars and for newly registered vans.

But: The specific CO2 emission target of a manufacturer will be relaxed if its share of low-emission vehicles registered in a given year exceeds 15% in 2025 and 30-35% in 2030.

Definitely. Also depends on the type of company you want to build. If you want to build something that's going to become the next big thing, potentially raising a seed round, its better to have a cofounder or two.
I've been working on a live streaming site for DJs and artists ( https://slipmat.io ) for past 4 years and the project is now in a state where it should probably be incorporated to get it to next level.

The current site is a state of the art basic streaming platform with a ton of bespoke functionality for artists, and I have lots of potential ideas for building new features for more higher end segment willing to pay for them (like gig booking and more interactive virtual shows).

This project is a very much an open source mindset and during last few months we’ve started to publish our first open source packages. My hope would be to be able to make everything sustainable as an open source project by the community for the community.

I’m looking for someone who could help me either build this forward or help with business side of things and raising money for building the business itself. I’m capable of handling the technical side of things but to get to next level we would need more both deep backend and frontend knowledge. I’m located in Finland, but everything in this project is set up to be remote first and location or timezones should not be a big problem.

This is awesome!!
Is CheerpX able to run the JITed code generated from node/v8 as well?

Or said in other way: is the node binary compiled with v8 in interpreted mode, or does it support the v8 JIT?
> EVs seem to be designed 'differently'

This is mostly because aerodynamics become very important in an EV, and weight becomes (relatively) less important.

That changes substantially many design decisions, affecting a lot of things you might not expect - dramatic changes to the visual appearance, focus on AC rather than a sunroof, internal airflow changes to prevent fogging, etc.
> nothing could go wrong with that...

https://comma.ai/ says it’s been driven 30 million miles (over years), has anything gone wrong?
I think there’s some commingling in this argument. When an institution subscribed they are getting access to research done by _other_ institutions. Presumably they have their own records of their own research.
You can still remove results from specific sites.

In the Google search box, you can use the minus sign (-) to eliminate results from specific queries or domains. And if you use the site: operator, you can restrict results from specific domains.

So to eliminate pinterest.com results from any search (normal or image search) just search like this:

I reckon we'd save less than £1000 a year changing my wifes Karoq for an electric Enyaq. Possibly more as I suspect she could charge at work.

Not really. They both may be immoral, but the government is chosen by the people, and I don't believe they "bestowed" on you your personal rights (in your private life or in how you run your business), they are there to protect you from others trying to prevent you from practicing your rights. Businesses/companies are regulated by the market. By you stopping to use them, you indirectly affect their decisions. If enough people think that what Google is doing is wrong, they can stop using them. Google will either shutter or change. This last bit also applies to governments in terms of actual vote power. If enough people thought that US gov policies are bad/wrong, they wouldn't vote for them. Obviously they still vote for the same people, so they still don't see it.

>If you're connecting with someone you know personally, then you should already have enough information at hand in order to know you have the right person based on their listed work experience.

But the point isn't to connect to those people. They're a phone call/e-mail away. It's to connect with and maintain the connection to the randos that you briefly meet.
I'd assume similar to the signing up process, a video holding a photo id and saying some words.
Surely the fuel cost savings would wipe out the price difference within a couple of years?

Only if you drive a lot. Based on my driving patterns I calculated it would take me a good 10-12 years to make up the difference. Which is a shame because in every other way an electric car would fit my usage pattern perfectly.
Sour grapes. No one was racing to buy Leafs and Bolts, nor EVs with no DC fast charging network. People wanted a great car that happened to be electric, not anemic golf carts.
I haven't heard of y'all before, but this sounds really interesting. I often think that optimizing supply chains is about extracting wins for everyone, and I'm interested to see how it adapts as the freight industry changes.
Unfortunately, credit card security for traditional online payment rely on payment processor actively blocking bruteforce attempts and CVC number never being stored to stay secure.

Masking six digits out of sixteen digits is a very common practice in the industry. The first 6 is BIN which is sort-of public data (full BIN table are distributed by Visa/Master only to acquirer/issuer, but some acquirer may provide them for free to a payment processor/merchant), next 6 is not unique enough since it depends on issuer's scheme so last 4 is used for identifying a card with the middle 6 masked.

I don't know about this particular case (and it depends on QSA), but if the number is in any way reversible e.g. a plain hash(card_number), it would put any system that store that hash in a PCI-DSS storage scope. I once worked with a system that solve this issue by having unique salt to each card, but the salt is never exposed outside of PCI-DSS scope. This prevent rainbow table attack, but still open to brute force.

3-D Secure was suppose provide a better security for online transactions by requiring a second factor (e.g. OTP), but it introduces a lot of hassle since it rely on HTTP POST from a client's browser (thus the "Your payment is being processed. Please do not refresh this page." screen), add two extra vendors to trust (ACS/MPI), and the card is still usable with merchants that doesn't enforce 3-D Secure (though I'm not sure if this is the case with India), making the whole scheme similar to having a tightly locked door with a window open wide. The scheme protects merchant more due to liability shift which removes them from being liable to chargebacks.

3-D Secure 2.0 tries to fix the hassle part by requiring merchant and payment processor to send data about the transaction back to the bank (email address, previous transaction info, shipping address, etc. which may be a privacy issue) and letting them decide whether a transaction should require an extra authentication.
3Blue1Brown on YouTube has a number of great videos into math that help give a visual understanding without needing to sit down and do the pure number crunching. I'm not sure he has one on the Riemann Hypothesis in particular, but he does cover a number of items that would be somewhat related and help build a level of comfort with being exposed to the math, even if you can't do the pure number crunching.

Mathologer would be my second recommendation. Once again not sure he has touched the Riemann Hypothesis, but he does a number of great videos where you can start expanding being comfortable with often untouched fields of math (like modular arithematic) while introducing a how seemingly unrelated fields end up having connections.

Videos can go between 20 minutes to an hour and I often enjoy watching one every few days.
The Trouble with Many Worlds (2019)
I'm not a fan of the clock shifting twice a year but perhaps someone can explain why they'd make daylight savings permanent instead of just abolishing it?

Covid-19 has shown that stores/businesses are perfectly capable of adjusting their hours and people have minimal issues handing that change. Why not just standard time everywhere. Seems like more mucking about for "reasons".
