Sieve might be supported by many email clients, but is pretty much nonexistent in corporate email.

Actually, if someone points me to one hosted email provider that does support it, I'd be glad - I was wondering about trying it out but nobody supports it.
I think the solution is the opposite. This would be removing the section 230 protection from any platform that moderates lawful content, other than technical things such as spam or attempts of intrusion.
What makes you say this? The potential to contaminate other planets with life from Earth has been a concern ever since we started planning to put something on a different planet or the moon. This originally got its start in 1958 with the draft of a Planetary Protection Policy [1]. This was prior to the first landing of anything on a body in outer space with Luna 2 in 1959 [2]. This was by the USSR and granted there is not great documentation for anything they actually did, the USSR said they took precautions to prevent biological contamination.

For NASA they have been using the planetary protection guidelines since the first lunar lander which was the Ranger mission [3]. Every NASA mission that goes to another planet is required to undergo sterilization using the "Dry Heat Microbial Reduction"

> I don't think the left could be reasonably construed to be in charge of social media. By output there's a lot of socialists online, for example, but they're not in charge.

You could just split it into socially and economically. The social progressives are in total control of social media, search, and academia and are closing in on control in traditional media (think newspapers, TV, Hollywood). They're not economically left wing though, they're economically libertarian.

The capitalists used to work with the socially conservative, but have switched and are now aligned with the socially progressive. Might be because of a generational change, might be because they found to be able to make more money in a more progressive environment.
For that to be meaningful, you'd really need to show what your friends was doing.

Why do you think that? It's a pretty big problem in old buildings in the Paris city center, I'd be surprised if Madrid fared much better given its usually hotter climate.
Exactly. It's why (I think) they haven't really spoken "publicly" about either directly, no listing on the "Software that rocks/sucks" pages, nor on cat-v or any related sites. Both approaches are pretty contradictory to their views on software. It's just that one is more composable than the other, and on top of that is older and a "known evil", I suppose.
It’s a bit undiscoverable, but if you click the edit title button it will actually allow you to edit the base branch as well. Sibiling comment said this might be opt-out-able, but at least in ms/vscode no one seems to opt-out.
Twist (https://twist.com) solves this problem entirely. Instead of chat rooms where everyone chats about everything, it organizes discussions around tasks. Each task gets its own chat room. When you work on task X, you chat in task X's chat room. If you work on multiple tasks, you have multiple rooms, one per task. When you come back to a task, you just open the task's room and continue where you finished. When the task is finished, that conversation is pretty much over. It's a get things done product. No useless chatting and conversations don't overlap. Go use Twist!
If this hit 20 years ago I suspect that we wouldn't have perceived anything but the tip of the iceberg of people who actually die or get close, because PCR was much less industrialized back then. And the big invisible "underwater part" of young or lucky people who don't get bad Covid but still serve the virus as transmitter relays would have made it a very strong, short wave. Likely mass graves in every part of the world, but mostly over I think by late summer 2020.

And so much individual suffering, because Covid deaths seem to be pretty far from peacefully dozing off. On this scale, which is orthogonal to all the usual metrics, I believe that it's considerably worse than 1918. If this virus had hit us before we got the tools for asymptomatic detection it would have likely lead to quite a few changes in our approach to end of life care, instead of the extra progress we now see in our utilization of the mRNA toolbox.

> But if the rapid tests are as unreliable in general as they were for me, it’s sort of no wonder COVID is spreading like wildfire.

Many rapid tests are indeed not accurate[1] but they still serve a purpose, depending on the sensitivity and specificity of the tests[2].

For the rapid tests with high sensitivity and you get a positive result, it's highly likely you have COVID.

For the rapid tests with high specificity and you get a negative result, it's highly likely that you don't have COVID.

And the public health measures of testing / contact tracing ONLY works if testing results come back quick. PCR tests are neither fast nor cheap, so those are not as effective in prevention of spreading because you don't do those all the time (slow + expensive).

Can you show me where "whack-a-mole" is mentioned in the original comment? It's something that exists only in your mind to excuse a call for murder.

"Singular target changes the context". Okay, so "Man, Hitler sure was really good at playing whack-a-Jew, wasn't he?" This is okay by your "logic", right?

The context of the "whack Nazis" comment was the worst day of domestic terrorism and murder in American history. I don't think anyone was playing carnival games at the Capitol last week, but maybe we should go ask them? Maybe the whole thing was just a misunderstood carnival game!

"As has been the case for months, all travellers will have their quarantine plans reviewed by a government official and, if not suitable, will be required to quarantine in a federal quarantine facility."[1]

One of the key difficulties is crossing from Semitic languages to Indo-European languages.

Semitic languages generally rely on a triconsonant root pattern, with the vowels in between those consonants effectively forming a kind of inflection. So abjads dropped the vowels entirely.

Indo-European languages, by contrast, place a lot heavier emphasis on the importance of vowels (consider all the different words in English that have the sound /b/-vowel-/t/). So Greek adapted the consonant for 'aleph (which represents a glottal stop, something Greek did not have) into an alpha (representing one of the five main vowels). On the other side, Brahmi adopted it by adding mandatory vowel marks to the character, so that each letter effectively represents a consonant-vowel pair [1].

However, there's a second complication, which is that Indo-European languages also tend to have complex consonant clusters rather than simple CV or CVC syllables. For example, the English word "strengths" has a 4-consonant cluster. So Brahmi also solved this problem by making a consonant cluster stack the consonants onto the character.

[1] It should be noted that the evolution of most scripts seems to follow a pattern of marking logograms, going through a rebus stage (using homophones to represent words), then simplifying the inventory to have each letter represent a syllable, or at least a CV pair, as most languages tend to follow a CV or CVC syllable pattern. It was a single Semitic language (Proto-Sinaitic) that went all the way down to a single phoneme, probably thanks to the underemphasis on vowels in Semitic languages--and almost all abigudas, abjads, and alphabets derive ultimately from that one invention.

> For many kinds of criminal content posing an acute public safety hazard, it does, and it's very simple: if you have knowledge of the existence of the material, you must take it down or become yourself criminally liable for it.

I'd be quite surprised if this is true in the USA. If you could provide an example of such a case I'd be very interested. The only time I'm aware of the Supreme Court ruling on online hate speech was to overturn the conviction of a Anthony Elois, who posted some truly disgusting things online. [1]

I'm not aware of any case where an internet platform was held crminally liable for content posted on their platform, in fact Section 230 provides "wide immunity" for both criminal and civil liability for the content that users post. [2]

For example, from [2];

> A recent case [3] out of the 2nd Circuit illustrates the types of issues courts are facing in our era of social media predominance and terrorist attacks.

> The 2nd Circuit case arose after Hamas posted content on Facebook that both directly and indirectly led to the attack and death of several Israeli nationals, including a 10 year-old girl. The victims subsequently sued Facebook for allowing the posts to exist, and to “match” terrorist sympathizers with terrorist organizations.

> While the content at issue violated Facebook’s terms of service and Community Standards, Facebook did not remove the content prior to the attacks.

Because the largest driver of infections isn't foreign travelers. It's far and away due to the people who are already here.
Rapid tests (aka: Antigen tests, or lateral flow tests) are high specificity, low sensitivity tests.

That means they’re biased towards the negative side: they’re unlikely to return false positives, but quite likely to give false negatives.

Such tests are useful for epidemiological studies, or for answering the “do I have Covid antibodies?” question.

But they’re not a reliable way to actually test for Covid. You need a PCR test for that!

I'm not sure what you mean by the universal availability of the email. It has the same deploy/configure/security issues any other tool has. It's even worse, because you can send email to "outsiders" unless certain rules are in place. The UX is bad and depends on email clients.
I agree this is rather limited to the south coast and the islands. But I would argue that high energy consumption could, in this case, very well be the sign of poor insulation and inefficient heating installations (A/C).
I think C doesn't have to be the first language you learn but I do think it should come fairly early, because otherwise you don't have an appreciation for a lot of the things the computer is actually doing when you're writing your code. Try explaining the concept of "stack vs heap" to someone who's only done python programming, for example.

My brother went through a coding bootcamp that focused on Python and JS and then he started to get into Golang on his own and one day he asked me what the point of pointers is. We ended down a rabbithole that kind of blew his mind. Stack vs heap, the structure of the call stack, manual memory management, etc.
UK is bit of special case, as although it has parliamentary system, because of single-member districts it gravitates to two-party situation with clear winners. That is rarely case in other countries, where PM often depends on fragile coalition formed after election.
It may have to do with Greenwald's staunch defense of Julian Assange and the HN community having vocal support for him.

I agree with you, and that's largely why I wanted to share my story -- to illustrate that even without any tell-tale symptoms and multiple negative test results, you can easily still have COVID.

This is very much powered by the lively kernel. Dan H. H. Ingalls, the main programmer of Smalltalk-72, created The Lively Kernel and the Smalltalk Zoo site. It's great to see him continue his work.

I think that Lively Kernel has huge potential to influence the current web. When you consider something like how this site (HN) operates, and could be implemented using something like the LK, perhaps we can start programming interactive systems better than we do.

Note that the Lively Kernel dates from 2007 (!) -- development continues to be supported by the Hasso-Plattner institute in Potsdam, Germany. https://lively-next.org/

So, even though the CEO danced around the concept of banning people for things their users would inevitably do on the platform, Parler was actively recruiting and reassuring people concerned about the deplorable things they did off the platform, and whether or not they would be safe on Parler.

I tend to view a lot of stuff through the lens of UK Political History because it's my hobby for some reason and this just depresses me.

In 1980 following the defeat of James Callaghan by Thatcher, the Labour party was essentially entering a state of civil war between the left and right of the party wherein the left of the party were changing the rules of the leadership election to better benefit themselves by making it more democratic. As a f you to that wing of the party, James Callaghan called for a leadership election under the old rules, in which the leader was chosen exclusively by the Parliamentary Labour Party. The two main candidates ended up shaking out to be Denis Healey from the right wing which was more the consistency of the PLP, and Michael Foot from the left wing which was more the consistency of the unions and core membership. In the end, Michael Foot won narrowly, not because the actual PLP believed that Michael Foot was actually the man to beat Thatcher in the next election, but partially so they could go home to their left wing constituents and say "Look comrade! I'm a good socialist! Please don't deselect me!". The immediate result of this was in 1983 they almost became the 3rd most popular party in the country behind a bunch of pro Europe ex Callaghan cabinet people who abandoned Labour to make their own party.

I am extremely worried that this is the direction Repubs are flying, and extremely annoyed that they weren't smart enough to reinforce against it.

You don’t have to overcomplicate it, just assign an expense to an account as you record it and account for it in your budget separately.

If you have two checking accounts that you use for Gas for example, you would credit the appropriate bank account the money came out of at the time of purchase and debit the appropriate expense account in the General ledger. What you see in the Expense account will then reflect how much money you spent on Gas no matter which checking account you used. You can then compare this to what you budgeted for.

EDIT: Here’s the appropriate PTA page on how you can use these tools for budgeting, but these are just tools. The General Ledger can reflect as much or as little data as you want it to, and the quality of the reports they generate will be based off that.
