I suggest that anyone interested in this topic research Johanna Budwig and her Budwig Protocol. She was a world expert on essential fats as well as a physicist. Her work directly followed on that of Otto Warburg, and it is said she cured many many people of Cancer. Having tried her "Budwig Protocol" myself at a time when my energy levels were so low that I had to quit my job and focus only on recovering my health, I can attest that it truly works for delivering more oxygen and thus energy and vitality to one's cells. Today I am healthy and feel much better than I did 5 years ago.
The bad news is that anyone who has hitched their wagon to ES almost certainly has a bazillion lines of JSON query language for interacting with the thing (unless they stick strictly to the [query_string](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.7/...) search language, which I believe is lucene-compatible

>The average woman on dating sites gets hundreds of messages, and the average guy gets tens. That is a MASSIVE imbalance in favor of women.

Not sure that's necessarily a massive imbalance. It depends on the quality of the guy sending you those messages, and maybe on the actual message that they send (but it's more important that the guy is hot than that what he says is funny or something).

For example, I get a ton of emails from spammers about penis enlargement methods, and I rarely send my own emails asking if they have any penis enlargement methods available. Does that mean there's a massive imbalance in favor of me? It's not like I'm at a huge advantage because of all this email I'm getting.
The existence of black holes is part of the general consensus at this point. It’s fine to suggest they don’t exist, just realize you’re disagreeing with the vast majority of physicists and evidence we have.

I don’t mean this as an appeal to authority, just a suggestion you likely have some fundamental misunderstandings. Especially if you never worked through the actual equations.

What do you mean by launch depth? And how would that detection supposedly work?

I'm asking because AFAIK they don't need that anymore, at least not up to periscope depth. (Unsure here, something like 30 to 20meters in my mind)

edit: By that I mean I'm seriously doubting the capability of anyone to have sufficient coverage by whichever means to detect that in realtime.

But it’s unlikely to be great at Linux out of the box. The Surface families have a history of doing things their own way, which means being poor at running Linux until people reverse-engineer things. Per https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Supporte..., Surface Laptop 3 (AMD) still isn’t perfect: like most of the Surface families it requires a special kernel for most stuff to work, and the touchscreen and pen support don’t work (admittedly functionality outright missing from most laptops, so perhaps not a big deal), and if you suspend it, you need an external keyboard to wake it up again!

Also I’m shocked at the price hike from 16GB RAM, 512GB storage to 32GB RAM, 1TB storage: it goes up from AUD 2931 to AUD 4399. A $1,468 increase. I would consider $468 not unreasonable (even though the retail cost delta on the actual parts should be under half of that), but it’s like they hoped you wouldn’t notice them slipping an extra $1,000 onto the price. But then, given that the second and third configurations increase the first’s $1,699 by $425 to increase 128GB of storage to 256GB (that’s more than even Apple charge for such things!), and then by another $255 to increase 8GB of RAM to 16GB, perhaps I shouldn’t be surprised. Still am, though.

Unless I misunderstand - that's still a round-trip to fetch and return a 304? Or are you thinking an edge cache closer to the end-user?

Given that the police budget is formed by public allocation and the nature of the job I think that policy absolutely should have the ability to form unions. Being forced to work long shifts in dangerous work environments (whether dangerous to you or others) is pretty unsafe. The issue is that, whether intentionally or not, the public has bargained away some pretty valuable things over the year to the union including employment record availability and retention requirements.

That union needs some serious reform and it isn't going to come from the inside, but there are some really good reasons for police to have good bargaining power.

Honestly, this probably all comes back to the US massively underfunding public services as a general rule - if the policing budget had been slashed like the education budget regularly is then we'd have nothing but vigilantes in the police force.
> Why does Bumble need to go public?

Because VCs aren't charities and prefer to invest in moonshots instead of a potentially sustainable business models.

Please keep in mind that sometimes employees are punished for considering unionization, so it's possible that them not unionizing is a reaction to that.

Assuming no external pressure, though, I absolutely agree: if workers don't see the benefit in unionizing, they should not unionize.

(Of course, I would also like to see them able to unionize if they do see benefit from it)

DSL is pretty much the worst of the wireline services as far as latency goes. Even some of the wireless technologies are better.

If you use sonic, at least in some areas they have a setting where you can turn down the level of forward error correction and get lower latency in exchange for somewhat higher packet loss.
> They also always come up with the most 'brute force' solutions and can't really reason around performance.

I'm curious how that works with regards to your contract. Do you get to pick a different contract, with different terms, benefits, etc., depending on which union you join, or are contract terms not negotiated directly by your union in the UK?
Wow, this is interesting. When I first heard a few weeks ago that TSMC would be building factories in Phoenix, Arizona[1], my impression was that this was an act of aggressive competition with existing Intel factories and engineering talent in the area.

Based on this article, it looks more like a long-term partnership. Intel has been an industry leader for a long time by both designing and manufacturing their own chips. Recently, with all the doom and gloom about Intel's future, I'm curious to see if outsourcing will become a larger part of their strategy.

The high registers directly map onto the existing ones. R12 and R13 would better be called XSP and XBP, because that's what their corresponding "unescaped" registers are, and if you know the 32 bit encoding, you'd know that EBP without a displacement is the absolute mode, and ESP the SIB mode.

> teachers unions keep terrible teachers employed

Are there a bunch of would-be teachers clamoring for those jobs?

I think the lack of desirability is what keeps terrible teachers employed. There also aren't great ways to measure how good someone is at teaching.

How much data is sent to the developer after somebody makes an in-app purchase?
Well have you tried to get a job as a software developer? It is 1000x harder and if you don't know what the PATH is, you are not passing.

To be hired as a developer you have to know 1000x more, small and not related in any way details.

Now we can start talking about gate keeping, because doing some side project might be hard but there is still a lot of "low code" stuff that you can do. Setup a blog? Go configure wordpress.

If someone wants to be a salaried software developer issues like in this blog post are going to finish his career before it has even started.

True, and I definitely don't mean to deny the existence of illegitimate union-busting efforts.

> Telegram is not a secure chat application though.

Fun fact: I didn't even write that.

The rest is not so much for you personally as for a number Signal fans:

I get it, I get it: Signal is best. But seriously: do you Signal fans have to derail every conversation?

Do you have to take a jab at every other messenger at every given opportunity?

Or can we agree that there's room for more than one solution? Because physical mail, email, irc, Telegram etc are probably going to stay around for a long time, at least until Signal solves:

- large groups

- backups

- grows a stable messaging API

- creates a Bot api

- and starts teleporting physical goods

- etc

Until Signal solves all this we are going to have to deal with other mesaging solutions.

Deal with it. Seriously.

Yes: Signal is probably the most secure now IMO.

No: talking down other messengers doesn't make it better.

@dang: apologies in advance. I've tried hard to keep it polite.
"Q42020: In the 4th quarter, we registered one accident for every 3.45 million miles driven in which drivers had Autopilot engaged. For those driving without Autopilot but with our active safety features, we registered one accident for every 2.05 million miles driven. For those driving without Autopilot and without our active safety features, we registered one accident for every 1.27 million miles driven. By comparison, NHTSA’s most recent data shows that in the United States there is an automobile crash every 484,000 miles.*

Well I think the issue is that the policing unions form state and national agreements but local governments are left to negotiate on their own. The DOJ (or something at the national level) really needs more oversight when it comes to policing so that we can have collectivized bargaining on both sides. Local councils can't realistically stand up to police unions in a meaningful way since the national charter can drop a ton of money on elections to get troublesome members ousted... Again, another side effect of terrible election finance laws.

They mention it’s your own BeyondCorp style proxy, but BeyondCorp does a lot more - you can have rules about attestation from the remote machine, and a lot of other stuff.

BeyondCorp is being cargo culted all over the place, but most of the alternative offer little more than SSO.
The example program presented is not a good solution, it goes against all the rules and recommendations.

Your program (made this way) will NOT WORK at all in the near future, ex when the system call number is changed (it's happened).
The Google Union is being formed so that specific employees to try to parlay their version of ethics - the assumption being that what they think of as 'ethical' is universally applicable, but this is definitely not the case.

I don't trust Google Employees one bit more than I trust Google Management, as far as certain issues of ethnics, I'd much rather have intelligent and pragmatic regulation.

Also, I didn't really hint at 'what was within their rights' or not.

Finally, and ironically, if we're going to be concerned about 'ethics' it might start with tidying up their own household and using the tools of organizing like Unions for which they were intended, which is to say helping those who have no power i.e. the gazillion of 'secondary' actors at Google.

If Googlers want to have more influence I'm not sure the Union model is it, because far more often than not, it's a system of entrenched power that will use their base to carry out the wishes of the vanguard. Student unions for example, tend to take positions that are wildly inconsistent with what the average student would want, but voter participation is low, the system is opaque, and many students don't pay any attention and are just resigned to the system. I don't know what the answer is, but it's probably not a union.
You say that: "Elasticsearch (as an open source product) is not independent. Its reliant on Elastic co, who have a demonstrated history of reducing its FOSS-stance in favor of making more money. Of course, they had to do this; Amazon forced them into a corner, similar to MongoDB."

But there is one more factor you failed to acknowledge that is driving them to make more money: Elastic.co took VC funding.

Once you accept VC funding, it narrows the definition of success down to what your investors think success should look, like rather than what the founders desire.

He did specifically mention high power charging on Non-USB C.

One of the problem with High Power, USB-C charging is the higher probability of frying the MacBook. As it has been since post 2015 MacBook Pro. From a reliability stand point this isn't any good at all. The insane amount of MacBook Pro with this problem on Louis Rossmann channel

Not all USB-C Cable are capable of charging up to 100W, most are only 28W. You need specific 100W, thicker cable to charge it. Of course HN have no problem with this but majority of people will charge it with whatever USB-C cable they have lying around. i.e Smartphone low power cable.

But HN seems to value charging everything with USB-C over everything else. And seems to take a world view anyone who dont know enough about USB-C cable or do not buy all USB-C High Power Cable as "mis-informed" if I had to word it politely.

"I hope my answer was actually useful in providing some biological context? "

Yes, it was!

"These are below detection in any practical clinical way, and we don't want to treat them because they're ridiculously common - your immune system wipes them up. If we tried to detect and treat them all, we'd kill everyone with side effects long before we prevented a fatal cancer."

I suppose it would help, if this would be more common knowledge. That cancer cells are very common and nothing to be afraid of.
Just that when things go very wrong, it becomes a problem. And that is mainly, when the immune system fails?

So I suspect the stress for the fear of getting cancer, might in some people lead to actual cancer, by lowering their immune system.

Could you agree to such a statement, or do you think it is far off?
> You want a gentle inbuilt mechanism to encourage consumption.

I have mixed feelings about this story. I applaud your resolve, and you have certainly had a tremendous amount of success that should be celebrated!

But I can't help but think about the 9 founders of other companies that had the same resolve in the same situation, but things did not work out so well.

All you other people thinking about going for broke need to be ready to hit bottom and build yourself back up afterwards, because 9 times out of 10 that's what will happen. Or, even better, first put yourself into a situation where you don't need to go for broke to give yourself an excellent chance at success.

I think this is why a lot of crazy big startups come from younger people, they can afford to go for broke before they have a family and other obligations, because the worst that can happen is they are left with nothing, then they settle for a high-paying job at a big tech company and 2 months later they can afford a new car.
Python is extremely popular in education and I'm convinced this is a huge part of its overall popularity. In that, it displaced Java in a move wildly popular with students; the language designers practically targeted college classes. But professors are conservative and won't usually change languages unless there is a compelling advantage.

So, you might think Lua can't compete with Python in education. But we have an ace in the hole: concurrency. Lua can be a great sandbox for learning concurrent programming, with built-in coroutines and a reentrant interpreter on top of an extremely simple semantics and basic type system.

The problem is that nobody is going to want to use an ad hoc combination of Lua and some questionably maintained 3P libraries to teach a course. If Lua is to be useful for teaching parallel programming, it needs a built-in or at minimum endorsed solution for parallelism. Penlight, probably the most popular "Lua batteries" collection, includes almost everything except parallelism!

Another issue in education, though, is 1-based arrays. They're a minor annoyance in practice, but learning to count from zero is important in many CS courses.
Some execs realized they weren't gonna get their bonuses anymore and, since they started bleeding users, went in full damage control mode to save their own asses.
The argument that cops are not workers, in a Marxist sense, is because they work to protect the interests of capital, rather than do "productive" work that is useful to the rest of the working class.

It doesn't matter if there's a union or not. It matters what actually is being done. From the news it seems that Amazon has been consistently improving conditions of its warehouse employees. For example, making the minimum wage $15/hour.
