There are plenty of Uyghurs living normal lives. Don't forget that even the highest estimates of a million targeted amount to maybe 10% of the total population. There are also plenty of ethnic Kazakh and Kyrgyz Muslims among the eyewitnesses interviewed in Western media, as well as restrictions on religious freedom all over the country: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/china-uighur-m... Of course having their mosque closed for illegal religious activity and eating halal food that says 清真 instead of حلال on the packaging still leaves people with what might be considered a "normal life", even though it is different from the normal life they knew before.
The "early days" didn't have makeup. The first store was a converted Fry's grocery market building off Oakmead, much smaller than a modern supermarket.

The second building, or Kern, was triple the size. The current building on Arques is maybe four times that in area.

The download page doesn't show anything particularly helpful if you're on an unsupported platform (eg Linux). From the source:

From your article:

> The picture is partial and evolving, but it suggests people with COVID-19 who have been intubated have had, at least in the early stages of the pandemic, a higher rate of death than other patients on ventilators who have conditions such as bacterial pneumonia or collapsed lungs.

> This is not proof that ventilators have hastened death: The link between intubation and death rates needs further study, doctors say.

A summary: we shouldn't ventilate everyone because ventilation has risks (like all medical treatments). Nowhere does the article claim that ventilation is a "death sentence" as you originally claimed.

Just taking 2 minutes to look at the website, shows why they lost the traffic and the website deserved to lose the traffic. Sounds harsh but it's true. This is a website that was built with no consideration of truly providing value to visitors.

The website is another run of the mill affiliate website built with the sole purpose of making the owner some money.

The same old rubbish "here are 5-10 products that we've selected because we will make money." that other websites do - Where is the website actually helping or providing the visitors any value? It isn't.

The only research they seem to do on products is 1) Will I get commission if I send customers to it 2) Is it cheap. 3) Do the reviews look fake/real.

That's not helping anyone and provides no value. Hence why Google removed it's ranking. It provides literally no value or true content to visitors. Their product lists are all "The Best X products" - Best based on what? They're not buying the products and actually checking their good, they're just pulling products out of their backside from Amazon/Bestbuy.

How can this website honest create hundreds of "Best X products", without even using/testing any of them and think they've providing value to customers? The owner is kidding himself.
So it would be enough to send any amount to any public wallet to make it blacklisted and additionally also make SWAT teams come to the owners of those accounts? Yeah "good idea" /s. You know there is no way to prevent receiving bitcoins right?
Well you could become an actor, and film makers could use your body to make movies they sell for profits. Or let's say photo model - then they could really move your body around and position it in poses to take photographs.

Really, I think your distinction of "capital" and "labor" is fake and completely useless. It's definitely useless, and unclear why you insist on it.
Love the idea and second the "to pdf" feature requests but on a high-dpi screen the text is a bit small and hard to read, some css tweaks are probably needed to make it perfect. Kudos.
Some constructive tips on making the design more accessible/inclusive:

- "gray-3" on white has a really low contrast ratio (confirmed by others in this thread)

- remove "maximum-scale=1" from your viewport meta tag

- use semantic HTML / landmarks (e.g. "aside" instead of "div id='sidebar'")

- add a label to your "sidebar-toggle" button
They have been gambling, and losing, since March (or even January) by continuously refusing to take early and drastic action only to make late U turns.

I was disappointed to search through the comments and not find the phrase "two slit experiment". [1]

The first half of the article is clealy about quantum mechanics, although it doesn't name it explicitly. The author seems to be arguing that there is something specific really going on below the quantum level, regardless of whether we can measure it, and scientists refuse to acknowledge that only because of philosphical dogma (logical positivism). They seemed to think we only use probabilities to reflect our uncertainty, and ought to come up with a more fundamental theory that avoids that uncertainty.

But the two slit experiment shows that there is no more fundamental theory (at least not in that sense). If two paths have probability of 0.5, then it's not the case that only one or the other took place, we just don't know which is which. Instead, they both took place in some sense, to the extent that they interact with each other; that's not possible if there was one true path that we just couldn't deduce. It's maybe better to think of 0.5 as a weighting rather than a probability.

This is untrue. He is still the CEO of Ant Group, and was set to appear in a "Lion's Den" type show earlier this month.
I work for a bank. We have to do a full DR test for our regulator every six months. That means failing all real production systems and running customer workloads in DR, for realsies, twice a year. We also have to do periodic financial stress tests - things like "$OTHER_BANK collapsed. What do you do?" - and be able to demonstrate what we'll do if our vendors choose to sever links with us or go out of business.

It's pretty much part of the basic day-to-day life in some industries.
These will be private blockchains, not the public bitcoin network.

They don't really have any benefits over a centralised database except sounding good to management.
the adage from service level perf testing (you don't know what's really slow/brittle until you measure...) holds equally well at the systems level. Yes, you can probably identify decent areas to improve by guessing, but you'll never find your blind spots...
> Is it the new radio protocol, MIMO enhancements, new bands, or something else these people are actually afraid of?

People who are afraid of "5G" don't know either, they cannot distinguish them. The main talking point is mmWave and more base stations with their alleged serious health issues that didn't previously exist. I'm not sure what's the justification here. To me, mmWave sounds "better" since it cannot penetrate the skin, unlike lower frequencies. And the additional power from more base stations will be balanced out by high attenuation.

Privacy and mass surveillance is another talking point. I saw one conspiracy theorist described it as a major threat from 5G and how the government is going to use 5G to "enslave the population". It's a legitimate concern, but the existing cellular network, the Internet, and facial recognition already enabled it. Ubiquitous connectivity and more base stations will enable additional tracking, but it isn't 5G that makes a fundamental difference here.
I think we're largely in agreement. I think the definition of fat shaming I was working from was more on the "Omg, look at [insert c list female celebrity], she's (gained|lost) 10lbs!" end of the scale.

There is also a problem on the low side of body weight. A lot of the models we see are unhealthily thin and/or are photoshopped to look that way. While a lot of attention has been given to how this affects body image for people who end up with eating disorders like anorexia, I wouldn't be at all surprised to find that the same images contribute to people feeling like they will never look like that and going the opposite direction.
Without knowing at all what I'm talking about, wouldn't be surprised if they are beyond maximum rated consumption.
> nobody can even define what a "measurement" really is

Isn't that the observer becoming entangled with the measured system?
Any one in a privacy-friendly location. There's a ton of German providers (posteo, tutanota, mailbox.org, etc) which are always safe choices. Emphatically not Protonmail, as it makes promises it doesn't deliver on and has a very strange architecture for it's security besides.

As for 3D, I also remember seeing a TV at Toshiba HQ in 2013 or so that had 3D without glasses, and even worked for multiple people. No idea how.

Why settle for an average job? Assembly is fun. I work with it nearly every day. I've done assembly at every employer for the past two decades.

Those "kids took it very seriously" would get hired, not you.

Some people take padding classes like graphics programming, game programming, AI, Java, and web junk. I've seen more use for PL/M, Pascal, and Ada. Of course the worst padding is the mandatory non-major stuff. No employer has yet asked me to produce Marxist literary analysis or to analyze a poem, yet that was required in college.

If you want to go beyond the basics of CS, take some of the EE classes. You may need to communicate with an EE. It's good if you don't need to rely on somebody else to hook up and use your equipment. Practice with a logic analyzer, JTAG debugger, and oscilloscope. Learn to solder tiny things.

Ah, good old cold-war-like hysteria about "evil" russians. But ussr doesn't exist for 30 years and russia does not have ANYTHING close to what Snowden revealed exist in USA.
Well, you're both slightly off. No, midi does not work in Firefox, last time I checked, Mozilla still doesn't like the security of the current API hence it hasn't been implemented.

And no, the website is not using midi at all. Midi is a protocol for sending notes between devices, but there is neither any notes to be sent nor any connections to other devices, this is all local. My guess would be that Handel is using the various Audio APIs only.

I have mixed feelings about this. The value add of HN's "who's hiring" over the run of the mill job posting boards is the extra HN community context it brings.

Its indeed true that there is no way to sort though what happened. Banning stories or allowing such stories distorts the truth oneway or the other.

They mention how they do that if you RTFA, fwiw.

I only skimmed it, but looks like they track midpoint of eyes (having rejected pupil tracking), and spacing (to get viewer distance), and they use a webcam to do it.
Printing it costs energy. Storing it and transporting it costs energy. It seems similar to the argument that trucks create greenhouse gases, neglecting that horses were much worse.
Yes there are useful things that the government does. But I believe there are ways to tax for things which are more fair than what is being used today, and crypto is not a detriment to that.

(Roads and rubbish can easily by taxed by usage, from the people who clearly use those services, but there are other central commons that should be taxed on state or federal level.)
Gender and body mass play a part, but I guess it also just depends what you're used to.

I live in Scotland (1C just now), and through gas central heating (very common) we have the house between 18-20C degrees, depending on how we feel.

When we travel somewhere hot on vacation, and are using AC indoors, we usually have it between 20C and 21C.

When I travel for business to India, the AC in offices is generally set at 25C, and I find that really unpleasantly warm, to the point where it makes me sweat (I'm not a particularly large person) and makes me sleepy.
Ask HN: What does mastery look like in software engineering?

It’s not the cost of vaccines. It’s the transportation and special refrigeration units that are expensive. Many hospitals have to install that infrastructure.

Could be worth it if mRNA tech becomes the norm for other vaccines.

I am really excited about mRNA vaccine technology. It’s brilliant.

Yes. Because Linux is not competitive in some cases.
It's not about believing, it's about knowing. You have to couple that time interval with the company they worked for.

At one company it took them 2 weeks to set-up my email, 3 months to decide on which project to work on and in about 6 months I was delivering something. So 6 months "experience" actually meant zero. I was ready to deliver from day 1 but...

At another company I had all the accounts created by the end of day 1, already working on bugs the second day. Some projects took 1 month in total. 6 months could mean 6 projects. The amount of skills accumulated in that time was way over the skills accumulated at the first company.

As you can see the time interval is useless. I think it's fairer if the recruiter simply rolls a dice.
HACL*: a formally verified cryptographic library
They have nurtured a victim mentality and had nobody honest in their lives to call them out on the stuff they try to peddle. A serious step backwards.
For example, here are some excerpts from just one other LA Times article:

> Many hospitals also say they’re too full to accept any more patients or ambulances

> when paramedics are allowed to drop off patients at a hospital, the emergency room is often so crowded that there aren’t available staff members

> Hospitals across the state are sending away ambulances, flying in nurses from out of state and not letting children visit their loved ones

> canceling surgeries and erecting tents in their parking lots so they can triage the hordes

https://archive.is/VxZL9

If context matters, I'd expect an organization like the LA Times to be capable of addressing it. It's so frustrating to have to work backward just to find out if anything is remarkable. At this point, this kind of thing is seriously affecting the well-being of the audience.
How des this compare to Lilypond (aside for being browser based)?
That's the whole point - if we look at the consequences of historical major breaches, they generally don't result in large number of customers actually leaving the company.

And on some level that's even appropriate as generally the whole industry is vulnerable, it's reasonable to expect that the competitors have just as bad security as the breached company, they just didn't get breached because they weren't targeted by this particular attacker or because their breaches aren't (yet) detected or because they managed to hide and not publicize that breach.

The 2013 data breach at Target is a good example of the worst case scenario because it was the first major widely publicised case, all the newer ones had far less effect because people start to understand that the breached company is not unique (like they thought in 2013 about Target) and even then they lost just ~2.5% of customers, and regained the customer confidence after 2-3 quarters. So even in the worst case scenario, 97.5% customers won't drop you, and any effect is short term, as the Target case demonstrates.
> Dr. Deutsch spent far too much time talking about the fact that at a high level there are a lot of things we are certain about. That is very weak evidence of what is happening at the quantum level.

Especially given that sum of billion random variables is determined and pretty precise value.
All your points are down to lowering cost by exploiting workers more.

Lower capital needed due to low salaries, no employee protection, no building or environmental regulation, no employee contracts, no training… Is that really what you want for your country? I imagine you don't see yourself working one of those unprotected low-paying jobs however.
Not just the UK. the ZX-81 sold well in most of Europe.

Except China has only 2 BSL4 labs and though both are in big cities by Western standards, neither are near the costal population centers in which the majority of China actually resides.
Definitely cool! I do like simple text-based music tools, and the fact that it has a live web player is excellent.

A couple of things I noted:

- I couldn't work out how to run two chunks in sequence - I'm presuming the language doesn't support it yet, since none of the examples do it either?

- It would be nice if the "play" keyword accepted the "loop" syntax too (or something similar)

- On the web editor, despite the song reaching the finish, you have to press stop before you can press play again. It's a little thing, but I spent an embarrassingly long amount of time thinking it was just a firefox bug, copying my song to clipboard, refreshing the page and pasting it back in!

That said, have enjoyed playing with it. Any future plans?

Very few low-tax countries are pleasant to live in for the average human being. Clamors for low tax are inevitably made by millionaires or misguided people that believe they might one day be millionaires. Taxes exist for a good reason and have a demonstrable positive effect on the societies where they are levied. Trust in politicians doesn't factor into that, as taxes are generally spent by government officials.

But the principals of free speech and assembly should not be sacrificed for something that will be and mostly gone in 6-9months.

Why not? Ultimately, people are what matters. You know who can't exercise free speech and assembly? Dead people. Why is a 6 month hard lockdown worse than letting people keep walking around for 6 months? This sounds like a moral, absolutist statement you're making; like life is an art project, and the aim is to exercise some particular set of principles.

(Free speech? What's the threat to free speech here? Is it the people spreading bullshit and conspiracy about Covid that's getting people killed?)

What you said is very true, at large companies only. There are way more companies that are smaller and move much faster. When they hire someone, it's very clear to them what they will be doing, who will present the project to them and so on. You could be writing code on day 1.

We already have the best disruptive model that doesn't make good predictions: string theory.

There's not really a need to come up with these alternatives when we know string theory is powerful enough to do it, and only has one free parameter. That is, unless you can come up with a theory that had no free parameters.

These theories are fundamentally math models, and I don't find it likely that we'll determine that p = np by finding just the right np problem and exploring that on its own.

In the theory department, we're fine with what we've got. What we're missing is new experiements that can actually challenge our models. We've got a couple things to push on, sure { black hole singularities, dark matter, dark energy, wave function collapse, quantum gravity } but we don't have the tools to manipulate and observe them like we do for electromagnetism or chromodynamics
