Sure, wait for a vaccine but I certainly won't be taking it as I can run a 5km in 23 minutes, in the gym five days a week when it's not shut down, I eat well and I take vitamin D. I would only recommend a vaccine to those aged between 65 and 80. Below that age and you don't need it, above that age and it's very risky. There were only 800 people above 70 on the pfizer trials, when that cohort is the high risk for this.

2. You are referring to post covid syndrome, it's well known and not remarkable for Sars2. Weird things happen from viral respiratory infections all the time, covid is no different. Up to the age of 38 or so the seasonal flu has a higher mortality rate. You have a higher chance of dying in a car crash up to the age of 30. I don't have the sources here but they are easily found. After reading the literature extensively on this subject the portrayal of the risk is blown far out of proportion in the media.
The article does not present whaling as an art. It goes to great lengths to emphasize the cruelty of whaling. The title refers to the variety of art associated more or less directly with whaling.
It's based in Old law where your assets were physical stock and tools not brand name and ongoing business. It's also based on the British system where the upper class run everything, and they were more likely to be creditors than debtors.

It's not even just the pure bankruptcy itself. If you've ever been bankrupt you can't be a company director. You can't access all sorts of financial products (car insurance!?) until long after the bankruptcy is discharged. It's a mess.
So who's going to pay the money to keep the lights on for Trump?

At the end of the day these companies are businesses that cater to their customers. For adtech that's advertisers. The reason a lot of non-illegal content is removed from platforms is because it can't be monetized. When someone incites violence no advertiser wants to have their ads show up along side their clip, or even simply on the platform that hosts such content. So the platforms will listen to their customers and make sure to remove such content, simple.

If you want to force platforms to host content that hurts their business you should also propose how they will be compensated for the lost of revenue from doing so, especially if large advertisers start pulling out from the entire platform. Are you going to use tax money to compensate these businesses so that they can't remove that content?
Signal isn't a company. They're a non-profit. In addition, as others have mentioned, Signal works without giving them permissions to read your contacts.

No, SmartScreen blocks software that doesn't have a high enough "reputation score" even if it is signed. The only way around that particular restriction is to distribute your app through Microsoft's app store.

DDWrt was an amazing platform, in its heyday, and it allowed me to save several clients ALOT of money, as compared to buying more expensive gear from major players in the market.

I even still have a couple of WRT54G’s with it installed sitting on a shelf.

Navigation overlay for watercraft, predicting safest route, best route based on long term wind direction, avoid larger less-maneuverable craft.

I'm surprised GPS hand unit manufacturers haven't implemented a beeper that beeps once to veer left and twice to veer right when following a loaded route where there is no obvious path i.e. snow.

I think we don't have more navigation 'helpers' due to legal liability, you wouldn't sue your friend who got you lost but you might sue a GPS/glasses software vendor.
Inequality in Canada is substantially lower than in America (and is on par with Australia, and between Fr and Se). This is evidenced in their Gini coefficients. [1]

- Gini for SE is 0.25

- Gini for FR is 0.31

- Gini for CA is 0.33

- Gini for US is 0.48

- Gini for ZA is 0.65

I've also included South Africa for comparison, one of the least equal societies on earth. A photo of what a 0.65 Gini country looks like is here (https://blog.prif.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/SA_Drone_Pi...)

There are plenty of opposition political voices. We are very far from 1930’s Germany and this kind of comparison just weakens any argument for a reasoned discussion about what is going on with social media companies blocking specific groups. There has been one very clear parallel to 1930’s Germany for the last 4 years, seems to me you are completely missing it.
It used to be that way. But it looks like Scala is slightly losing (not to Clojure), mainly to Kotlin: https://snyk.io/blog/kotlin-overtakes-scala-and-clojure-to-b...

Note that I'm not bashing or defending any of the PLs mentioned. It is merely the fact - today, Clojure is the most popular FP language being utilized in the industry. Check the number of podcasts dedicated to Clojure https://www.fpcasts.com; the number of conferences: https://purelyfunctional.tv/functional-programming-conferenc... list of companies using it, job listings, etc.

It doesn't mean that this all makes the language better or worse. Also, the overall share of languages with strong FP semantics is still way too small compared to the use of imperative PLs. That fact doesn't make OOP better than FP and vice-versa.
That's such a weird way of making statements. We do make decisions about who we make friends with, who we engage with, without the need of someone to decide those for us. and even more importantly, who?
That’s a very charitable interpretation. Too charitable if you asked me. Much more likely that everyone saw Facebook ban Trump then piled on after them, no longer afraid of the blow back. Still not collusion though.
I feel like this comment, and others like it, start from a baseline misunderstanding of Signal’s goal, and extrapolate from there into a narrative where the Signal team is plotting the downfall of all that’s good and right.

Signal has been pretty clear that their goal is to create a messaging platform that provides security against the threat model faced by the vast majority of humans in the world, in a form factor that makes it effortless for those people to use it for their communications.

Specific technical details, like federation, are not their goal, and their assessment is that the side effects of federation actively harm their goal. You’re welcome to disagree about whether it’s possible to federate and still solve the problem they’re targeting, but it’s not clear to me why they’d be expected to target their “war chest” at solving something that they’ve always acknowledged is not their actual goal, based on message board commenters demanding they do so.
No, absolutely do NOT give them any notice until after your cliff date. It's a bad idea to give them notice before your cliff date for an end date after your cliff date.

Read your stock option plan agreement. Typically, you have 90-days after parting ways to exercise your vested shares (some more progressive companies have increased this exercise window). Read up on what your tax obligations will be before you exercise, and factor that in when deciding whether to exercise, and how much (it's not a decision between exercising none or exercising all; exercising some is very valid). Soon after you leave, and way before exercising, find out if there's a private market for your stock options. In your modeling to decide how much to exercise, make sure to consider the scenario where the options end up being worth zero (you will still be liable for tax this year even if you can deduct the loss later; your upfront expenses can be high). [assumption here is that it's a startup]

You do not need to give them 2-weeks' notice -- if you're in USA, your job is probably "at-will." Do you think they will give you 2-week's notice if they lay you off (apart from what the law requires them to)? You already indicated you don't trust them, based on about 1 year of interaction; why would you suddenly trust them in the next few hours / days / weeks?
You know what gets me though? When they say “laser” (however capitalized) in sci-fi stories that are set in a different universe...

Or any other terms that specifically evolved in Earth societies and cultures, like “katana” in Dungeons & Dragons and so on.
I fully respect that racism and sexism exist, that sometimes people and groups may not be fully aware of their insensitivity, and would never deny anyone's real material victimhood.

However ...

... the default characterization of a system or group of people as being 'sexist or racist' because they may 'downvote' something, or may not agree with a specific statement of social or moral justice ... just isn't right.

HN just isn't a racist or sexist system.

Contentious statements regarding race/gender aren't really that common, moreover, when they are it seems to me that discussions are generally well within the bounds of civility and at worst, there might be some misguided ignorance.

I don't for a second doubt people (such as yourself) have a really crap experience now and again - and there's no excusing that (there's no reason for people to have to put up with that kind of crap) but I don't think it's very representative of the system, or a problem with the culture or moderation for example.
It looks like the "sharing" here was "using 3rd party analytics tools," or is there something more here?

The common counter-point is that more invasive tests are more likely to find issues, but that's not the same as being useful. A very controversial test is the (highly invasive) pap smear. I don't take a firm view on the subject, but it does seem to be a complicated subject with valid points on both sides.

I found it a bit rambly and got annoyed at the "wow these are tough questions no one can ever answer" sentiment. Glenn Greenwald a.k.a. "the guy who helped Snowden get the word out" and could be described as a disillusioned liberal, seems to have clearer principles and hence wrote a clearer article: https://greenwald.substack.com/p/how-silicon-valley-in-a-sho... One of the takeaways that nobody's really talking about is that Parler itself didn't really deserve this. If a bunch of Nazis walk over and stand near me, am I suddenly a Nazi? It's guilt by association, and if we're going with that... if we're going to, in the secret little court in each of our minds, "hold Parler liable for its moderation decisions" despite the fact that Section 230 won't allow that in a real court, then every outlet that has given Trump a voice for the past 4-5 years is just as guilty, starting with network news shows in 2016 putting his phone calls "from the campaign trail" on the air, knowing his wisecracks would draw more viewers. The profit motive accounts for 4 years of your never being able to escape Trump. And I believe the change of administrations (i.e. kissing up to the new one), not the Capitol thing, accounts for the sudden and belated change of heart. It's not Hanlon's razor but yeah never assume "ideology" as an explanation where "greed" will suffice.
That and further POSIX requires that a read which can be proven to occur after a write returns the new data (I'd think that would be quite difficult to implement efficiently, if multiple clients are allowed). I couldn't find that being mentioned in either the documentation of juicefs nor the pjdfs test.
Somewhat nearby. My 2 year old not going to sleep. I say “come sleep with papa”, her default “no with mummy”. And she goes to sleep straight. Ha ha. Good till the trick works.
Yeah I agree, but on that topic I think we're heading into completely unchartered territory with an event horizon beyond which I cannot see, the only wisdom I have that might prepare us for what might unfold is- "there's no such thing as a free lunch" and "there's a time when you have to pay the Piper".
Issue is that [anti-trust actions against railroads] happened before any of us were born.

Is it that, or is it because we're all so dependent on the market (for retirements funds, etc), that we're afraid to rock the boat? That would tend to indicate that anti-trust action needs to start well before the point where we're all too invested in AAPL/MSFT/GOOGL to want change.

$240M of Bitcoin Locked on a Disc, and 2 Password Guesses Left to Access It
Mitchel and Webb did a very funny sketch about this

https://youtu.be/8HgejSCHRi8
We don't, at least not with general-purpose computers. There are too many distractions. It's a disaster.

Students need to access school web sites which include links to book publishers and YouTube. There might be math videos on YouTube, but everything else is far more interesting. Video games get to be an enormous problem. Just having web access is enough to support a game addiction. Even something like Khan Academy or Scratch becomes a gaming platform, because programming is available and people have written games there.

Right now I'm relying on time-intensive and error-prone supervision. The computer is unlocked, observed while in use, and then locked. It's miserable for everybody. If the parent looks away, the gaming begins. Forgetting to lock the computer means that it will get used all night long, leaving the kid sleepy for the next day.
> That aside, he's a public representative of the highest order (a Senator). He needs to be heard whether we like it or not.

And to achieve that you're going to force businesses to host content that hurts their bottom line (the loss of income from the advertisers that will pull out from working with a company that hosts such content).

> This is clearly a US thing.

In the country where you live all news organizations are forced to publish everything a politician says?
Van Life: Developers Who Find a Home on the Road
> the mainstream media - especially on the far right

What far-right mainstream media? In any case, why should any media own the narrative?

Your decision that Trump "Plan[ned] an insurrection" isn't well supported - He's accused of inciting a crowd. But why couldn't any similar narrative escalate (or be escalated) when all narrative are monopolised by left-associated media?
Fortunately you could quickly get to a jurisdiction that didn't extradite.
IANAL but in general if you give notice and they see your stock grant hasn't happened and would if they let you serve out the notice, you won't get to serve out your notice. And at least that I know of there is nothing illegal about that and no recourse for you. It is crappy (maybe immoral to some) but from what I understand/know not illegal.

Assuming this is a real stock grant with equity that can be made liquid, and not a startup, then you would want to find a way to manage around this date issue. Also make sure they have no clause for clawback if you leave within X period of your first year anniversary (saw that once). If we are talking about a startup that isn't public and has no immediate liquidity route for the equity just go.
Samsungs are locked there?

Here in europe, you go to developer mode, check the OEM unlock button, reboot and hold some weird button combination while booting, phone asks you again if you want to unlock the bootloader, does a factory reset for security reasons, another reboot, and it's unlocked.
The miners have to pay their electric bills in actual dollars, not play money, so they sell for cash. Even if USDT is completely 0% backed, miners can get the $40K USD for so long as the inflows exceed outflows.
Not true anymore. We have a massive Vitess deployment in Kubernetes and it runs very well.
Keycloak supports multi-tenancy natively with realms. There is a fixed memory cost for each, but it’s not like you have to spin up an entirely new instance for each.

I will agree that the SPI interfaces for Keycloak could be better, but especially with the new Quarkus distribution it’s stupidly easy to setup and has 99% of what you need out of the box.

Who says everyone here can't get a job paying 300k or whatever? Why is that statistically incorrect? Moreover, median != mean due to lefthand skew of the salary distribution of developers. Also probably excess kurtosis as well.
US Chapter 11 Bankruptcy gives a firm that has a chance of surviving some respite from its creditors to reorganise and try and emerge as a going concern.

This makes creditors more likely to be reasonable (as no one is getting paid) rather than all race to be the most demanding (because if anyone is getting paid you want it to be you!).

There is also Chapter 7 which governs liquidation. Even that allows room for the company to seek a buyer or similar opportunity rather than just give up and die. British law has moved a bit more on this direction in the last 10 years.

This is important because in modern companies are usually valued much higher than the sum of their parts. Actual assets you can repossess are much less important than the brand name, staff that know the job and each other, on going relationships with customer etc. Grabbing the assets gets you 10% of the value and burns the other 90%...

Edit:

Even British bankruptcy protects a workers tools. Because a few second hand hammers is worth a lot less than the bankrupt blacksmith could earn if he kept them (and hopefully pay you back). This is the same concept.
If it has driver/firmware blobs, I'll say no thanks and stick to my ARM Rockchips. If they deliver this on linux with full source code, I will definitely buy their boards.
I legitimately could not get passed the choice of syntax, module organization etc. I believe many people feel the same way. Verbosity is good imo, languages are read more than written and Erlang is too terse for me. I love Erlang conceptually and I love that Elixir made it accessible to me because I otherwise would have just avoided the Erlang ecosystem all together and would have gone with Go, the thought of which makes me shudder because I am not a fan there. I can completely understand it being bittersweet and not that I knowingly represent a majority but I suspect many people think the same way I do in regards to writing in Erlang. To me terse != elegant and I find Elixir goes the mile for me there in what I do find elegant.
Congress has been investigating big tech for "allowing" violence, hate speech, election interference, etc. Its might not be a coincidence that they all started heightened moderation only after it was clear Trump was cruising to a loss.

I think it's selfish that you'd prefer to remain unfit and see a generation of children your daughter's age lose a year of socialising and education than to choose to isolate yourself and let them live their lives if you really were so worried about a disease with a average IFR of .05%. It's a crab in a bucket mentality.
The money came from Desjardins etc. because of the 'strategic' and 'nationalist' aspect of the investment.

No VC - even American one's were going to invest in that kind of boondoggle up front at those valuations.

So you're right when you say 'there isn't enough money' - at the same time, that's not the problem specifically here, and, frankly, good companies will get the money.

There are big funds in Canada.
It's linear, so there's an almost 100 times decrease.
I was curious, here's what the abstract says:

> Bitcoin provides two incentives for miners: block rewards and transaction fees. The former accounts for the vast majority of miner revenues at the beginning of the system, but it is expected to transition to the latter as the block rewards dwindle. There has been an implicit belief that whether miners are paid by block rewards or transaction fees does not affect the security of the block chain.

> We show that this is not the case. Our key insight is that with only transaction fees, the variance of the block reward is very high due to the exponentially distributed block arrival time, and it becomes attractive to fork a “wealthy” block to “steal” the rewards therein. We show that this results in an equilibrium with undesirable properties for Bitcoin’s security and performance, and even non-equilibria in some circumstances.
I didn't get a lot from this article, despite being in similar circumstances. I have a lot of Erlang experience - and I'd love to jump into Elixir, and I think Jose got a lot of things right with it. It's not just a "nicer" syntax - things like strings got fixed up.
It's important to remember that cutting CO2 output is simply not enough. We need to displace all fossil combustion for energy with renewables and also generate enough power to sequester the CO2 we've already released by burning fossil fuels. The magnitude of the problem cannot be overstated.

I’m in support of full legalization but there are so many good reasons not to have the “he can go to hell his own way” mindset in general.

First and most obvious, sometimes there are reasons that person is not only hurting themselves, like secondhand smoke indoors.

Second, as much as we are indoctrinated to believe otherwise, consumption habits are not purely individual choice. We all take conscious and unconscious shortcuts every day, and they can be exploited by marketers to get us to make poor decisions. It’s impossible (or at least very exhausting) to be a perfectly rational consumer when you have corporations that do everything in their power to get you to consume irrationally.

I’m not saying you should trust the state to make these decisions for you, just that your libertarian view leaves out a lot of nuance.
CD Projekt Co-Founder Apologizes for launch day debacle
"Parler's Complaint is replete with insinuations that AWS had equal grounds to suspend Twitter's account and thus discriminated against Parler… but AWS does not host Twitter's feed, so of course it could not have suspended access to Twitter's content."

This would be a strange thing to file in a court document if that were the case.
