You're entitled to your opinion, and I'm not arguing that the lockdown wasn't extremely strict or that the hotel quarantine debacle wasn't negligent on the part of the government (they should have put a much better security infrastructure in place) ... BUT, when the damage is already done, we still have a virus to contain and I think the measures that were taken were appropriate and very effective.

Protesting by not wearing a mask, or breaking the distancing rules, isn't doing you or anyone else any good. The science on how not to spread a respiratory virus is grade school level.
I wrote this somewhere below as well but I'm honestly confused. It seems like I can load ipfs:// links just fine on my firefox. Is there something I'm missing?

Edit: you guys are right. it seems i have installed the add-on some time ago and forgot about it.
That's why trump replaced his secretary of defense after he lost the election. That's why they didn't bring in requested national guard troops. (if I understand the situation, Trump never authorized the NG, as he was cheering on the coup from the WH, and the guard deployed bc Pence was pleading for it, which has its own weird constitutional issues.)
I see this as the issue with Lambda's.

If you use a few sparingly, great.

When you are at a team of 50 working on 40 separate services with 500 Lambda's or so I don't see how you are better off than writing a self contained service that's deployed as a single artifact i.e microservice.

You get the advantage of all related code grouped together, easy to instrument / test / run on any platform. All the advantages of a mono repo but at a service level, non of the orchestration or special tools to deal with 500 disparate lambdas and wiring up event sources / sinks.
There have been substantial reporting of similar circumstances involving Apple for close to a decade, if not longer:
httpss://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/technology/2013/jan/25/apple-child-labour-supply
> Speaking broadly of economic trends for the past 30 years, China has dominated manufacturing, at levels of increasing sophistication. To the extent it's running into issues, it's been a victim of its own success: laborers in China are increasingly too expensive for China to be a cost effective exporter at the low end.

That’s just it. It’s grown because it had massive amounts of cheap labour but now it doesn’t. Can they transition into a competitive economy up the food chain?
Hey, I know it’s hard to think otherwise right now, but there are many great reasons to live and you being alive and in hopefully good health is a great gift. There are many people that are in bad situations and one way to not be lonely is to try and connect with others you might be able to help just by being there.

Hang on and things will get better!
I use this with an automated script that watches my Twitter activity. If I like a tweet it determines if it contains a URL then archives it.
I disagree, well technically I agree that having money shouldn't equate guilt - but Apple makes a lot of money and chose to make some more money by partnering with a supplier that was using child labour. They didn't start that partnership with that understanding but they did continue it and they certainly have the means to drop that supplier in favor of a supplier that didn't use child labour... changing suppliers is expensive in terms of having a steady supply line and in terms of having a cheap supply line - delaying dropping them for a month or two while you line up some alternate manufacturer because of up-stream dependencies is probably acceptable but they had the money to fix this pretty quickly - certainly more quickly than three years down the road.
I don't have the budget to take them to court and I don't make false claims just to persuade.

2. I don't have budget to hire marketing company and crush them.

3. I believe it jealousy that's why they did it.

4. Hackernews should be more moderated. I can't comment on their post I don't know why.

5. The problem is just with hackernews. They posted an post on this site and one on twitter. I replied on twitter. But the hackernews results are rankling on Google. And I can't comment on it. I really need some advice
I mean obviously it's very interesting to look at and no small feat. I suppose I wrote my comment in the wrong context, my apologies. If 3 hobbyists moonlighting in a Discord could casually match Dall-E it would definitely spell utter doom for us all :P

Anyway, I did the most hated thing on HN, casually dismissing someone's hard work or careful thoughts. I'll go chew on some sand now.

> > What they can't survive is...

You keep cutting off quotes without including the relevant details. You need to stop doing that. The original quote:

> What they can't survive is groups of thugs that don't like the result of an election, and go off to physically prevent its results from being honored. That is unprecedented.

The last part of that sentence you cropped (emphasized by me) didn't come to pass because it was interrupted by Capitol contingency plans and Shelter In Place protocols, among other things. It very well could've been successful; we're lucky to not know that outcome.
Read the comment thread please before you judge, this is the conversation:

"I am afraid to ask this but can someone explain the "nazi joke" to me?"

"It wasn’t a joke. It was quite literal. Stay safe, fellow employees, there are literal goose stepping Nazis in the streets."

And the I said: "How do you know from this little context?"

Turns out I was right, it was a joke about Obamacare, not some nazi at Github: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25813443 Also I was right about judging, 2 negative comments that assumed I'd support nazis.
I have a UK Jeep Renegade which beeps on lock/unlock & is not possible to disable - drives me nuts. Various websites online claim it can be disabled in menus which don’t appear for me. The one workaround appears to be putting the car in Dutch mode but the Jeep garage couldn’t do it as they were worried for the computer in other areas. If anyone knows how to work around this I’d be keen to know!

People have been taking the vaccine for almost a year now.

The idea that there are significant side effects that have failed to surface makes zero sense.
In Victoria, also bothered by how compliant everyone was.

The lockdown was extremely hard. My vices tripled and I am still trying to reign them back in. I've had a low key depression since June last year and still trying to shake it.

As the parent comment said, they were an introvert, there are lots of people who aren't. (me)

In my little suburb, it looks like 10 small businesses had to shutdown while all the mega stores were allowed to continue operation.

I feel sorry for anyone who had a less than average housemate, stuck in a place with people for that long causes tension regardless if you like the person.

I don't see any problem with people who broke the rules. The government told us from the start that we were just flattening the curve but then without telling us extended the lock-downs in some attempt for an elimination strategy.

I personally don't think anyone in the world will ever know or feel what happened here in Melbourne so I expect to be down-voted also.

----

Just going to add what our stage 4 lockdown looked like which kinda lasted for 2 months at it's worst.

- 8pm-5am curfew (you have to be at home)

- no visitors

- 5km radius (this lasted for what felt like 6 months)

- you had to wear your mask as soon as you left your house (this went for months, we still have to wear masks in shops (even though we have zero cases))

- you could only go to the super market once per day, and you had to go by yourself

- you were only allowed outside for exercise for 1 hour (with 1 person)

- lots of shops forced you to give your details over and some demanded that you sanitize your hands (these are two things I didn't want to do for my own reasons)

- no gyms, hospo, group events, activities etc

- increase of police powers, fines around $1600

We also locked a bunch of social housing people in their apartments for two weeks. They didn't even have balconies, just small ugly windows. I hope someone eventually gets sued for that decision. -> https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-08-25/coronavirus-melbourne...
I recommend Pinata [0] for IPFS pinning if you do not want to host your own IPFS node. I'm not sure when they'll start charging but it's been free since they launched and I believe Infura [1] also has free pinning. Cloudflare [2] is a good alternative gateway to use. For deployment I use this deploy tool [3] which makes it as simple as `ipd -p pinata my-app` to host a static frontend.

This was one of my computing 'wow' moments when I discovered this software. I repeat a lot of notes and standard phrases and this has sped me up significantly.

Millions of Americans watched the Capitol insurrection play out live on tv. That has an impact on the national psyche that's very similar to a terrorist attack. People aren't going to forget about it because we all witnessed it together. It's going to be the defining event of trump's presidency, whether you think that's fair or not
His point is that they have enough of a kitty to cut ties rightaway, then eat their losses for a while due to supply chain disruption. They took it slow, running out their existing contracts without breaking them unilaterally (which would have come at some minor cost) and hoping that no one found out.
That's cool! Here's a synopsis of `ip replace`: "replace will either modify an existing address or create a new one if the specified address does not exist"

This is the biggest downer of our time to me. The media/elite control of the narrative is astounding and nearly ironclad - and as best I can tell social media is just being used to reinforce it.

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that if white supremacists performed those same actions, it would be described as a violent terroristic insurrection.

I know what it means, but it depends on section 230 staying alive. I meant manufacturers suing users like restaurants suing yelpers. With such chilling effects, no one would want to use it.
I would think it's perfectly fair for you, as that child to seek out labour.

But I also think it'd be perfectly fair if some sort of social safety net resulted in an orphanage where you could eat if you were starving - but that safety net would need to be paid by taxes on income that Apple isn't paying to their employees.
Will Apple give them 24 hours to implement content control before removing them from the App Store?
It is practically impossible to find cobalt, an essential ingredient for most consumer electronics, without it being mined by child labor and slavery.

About 50% of the world's cobalt is estimated to be mined by slaves, and it is not easily possible to know which is which.
I think they'll be important in AGI research for one thing. Take reinforcement learning (RL) for example: the rewards are arbitrarily constrained to be real numbers (or rational numbers). But why? There is a rich variety of RL environments one can construct using non-real number reward systems, and there's nothing special about the reals (or rationals) that suggests any connection to RL. The real numbers, recall, are the unique complete ordered field. What do complete ordered fields intrinsically have to do with reinforcement learning? Nothing, as far as I can tell (if there were some such connection, it would certainly be interesting to professors of real analysis).

As you point out, surreal numbers do a great job of tying together many different number systems, and that's inherently appropriate for studying generalized reinforcement learning where rewards come from many different number systems.

Terrorism is committing violent acts targeting non-combatants for political goals
One of my first breaks in IT was freelance work on the Science Museum website back when they didn't know anyone who could make web sites. I was in my early 20s and someone I knew from the pub had a mum who was a curator. She asked her son if he knew anyone because "web developer" was a fairly uncommon skill!

I eventually got crowded out by a proper agency but I've still got clients in the culture sector that I got from word of mouth from that. My company is still doing stuff as a direct result of that contact.

(I'm 49 so do the maths yourself)
Because the first lockdowns in many places were half-assed?

We did lockdown properly in NZ, and now, we're basically back to normal (with the exception of international travel).

And no, it isn't because we're a small island (though that helped). South Korea and Vietnam are also success stories.
I don't have a news report, but my wife has an instagram she uses to share pictures of cakes and cookies that she has baked, and also likes and follows right wing politicos, had a similar message silencing her account around the election.

Best President Ever Farewell Speech
There are some people it is impossible to please.

These people will tell you that your free speech is violence, then the next minute tell you that silence is violence. I've literally seen it claimed that mispronouncing someone's name is violence.

We don't have to pay attention to these people. If you're offended by someone's speech, justt close your browser or app. It isn't as though aren't a billion other webpages or tweets one can look at, and modern apps have block/mute buttons - use them.

Instead of demanding someone else's speech be abrogated, consider just being an adult. And possibly reflect on how you came to be so fragile.

Yes, it's instructive to recall that the Pythagorean Cult believed all numbers were rational (and this was a religious sort of belief). There's a legend (albeit probably not historically accurate) that when a member of the cult proved that sqrt(2) was irrational, they put him to death... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippasus
This isn’t so. I and many other free speech proponents did not support that. There were people supporting it, but to the best of my knowledge they appear to mainly be the same people supporting censorship now.
I just wouldn't do it, not because of the bill, but so many fine developers will treat me as a complete noob and I don't have time to explain myself.

Some of the Capitol Police workers did apparently bring concerns to their supervisors, but nothing much was done about it.

Part of the answer that I am surprised you haven't been given yet is that there is an ongoing infiltration of the police forces in this country by far right wing activists. I mean, Exhibit A is the two off-duty cops from (I think) one of the Carolinas that were present in the actual riot. Here is a think piece [0] that has links to sources. I would not be surprised at all to learn that there were people in the Capitol Police itself who were sympathizers.

That's exactly right. The amount of mental gymnastics people do to excuse the thing they agree with but not the one they disagree with is staggering.
Fediverse is a new term, so it is typically used when trying to explain newer technologies (email & RSS are well-understood and need less exposition). So for that reason, yes, you'll mainly see it used to describe new things.

It is a portmanteau of federated universe, and as such encompasses the full universe of technologies old & new that are considered "federated".

Federation is a system whereby you sign up to a SaaS, and can then interact with other users of other SaaS due to each of the services synchronising data via a unified protocol. Email is the best-known of these; SMTP is the protocol.

RSS is a greyer area. The nature of RSS (heavy on subscription, lighter on publishing) makes it less like other tech in the fediverse which are heavier on the publishing/sending/broadcasting side. Given the prevalence of self-hosting, it could be closer to being classified as properly decentralized except that there is a clear server/client distinction. It's somewhat subjective: either way if RSS (& WebMentions) are considered outside of the Fediverse, that's only because their paradigm isn't compatible with federation (making the original comment about Fediverse competing with things like RSS/WebMentions moot).
> I've read some pieces some years back that indicate that when first world countries (for lack of a better term) go to third world countries and insist that kids aren't allowed to work, they actively interfere with survival for individuals in that place who are expected to work and do not have a social safety net. When we show up and impose our "high standards" to make us feel morally superior, we do so from a very privileged perspective and don't think about how that interacts with reality on the ground.

This is an excellent point!

It does seem a bit strange for apple to insist companies only use employees that are a minimum of 16 years old.
I'm very sceptical of such claims because I do not believe there is such a thing as “Lisp semantics” and that it is primarily a language of syntax. In particular, Common Lisp has many semantic features such as dynamic variables and the function–value dichotomy that do not exist in, say Scheme, or really any other commonly used programming language. And Scheme, yet again, has many rather esoteric operations, such as continuation capturing, that exists nowhere else as well.

The three most popular Lisps today are C.L., Clojure, and Scheme, and I don't see these three having unified semantics at all and they are often further from each other than they are to many other languages.
I was out washing my car yesterday morning on a quiet residential street (parallel parked at the curb) and a pickup truck was parked at the next spot behind mine.

Suddenly as I'm washing the rear bumper/trunk area the truck's alarm blares at my back.

The neighbor across the street finally turned it off and said "oh sorry I don't even know why they have an alarm button on the key fob."

I just shook my head. It's unnecessary but there really need to be better ways to handle locks.

Also FWIW, not sure why the guy didn't just unlock it at the handle since he drove off anyway, instead of unlocking it all the way from the doorway of his house.

Interesting, I've written two novels and over a dozen radio drama series in Scrivener. Currently using it to finish first draft on a spec film script. It's pretty fantastic. Interested to hear why it didn't work for you - especially if the alternative is word.

Cross platform support (including iPad), saving direct to dropbox, full screen distraction free mode, easy sorting of chapters / scenes, rapid offline export to PDF (unlike say Celtex). Scrivener just blows everything else I've used to write out of the water.
If you are in a studio it’s going to be harder, but if you literally have a room, there are ways to make it work - I’ve been working literally inches from my bed by putting a standing desk converter on a low 3-drawer dresser. The key is that when I’m working - the standing desk and chair are there and the bed is made/not used. When it’s time to stop work, I fold everything away so it’s not in the way, move the chair out and spend some time outside of that room. I return there when it’s time to sleep and don’t touch any work related items. It’s an odd mental switch, but been working well for me. The context of the room is reset. Having grown up in small Soviet-era apartments helps I guess.

Nah, no CI workflow, I generate locally. Creating the site was just

pip install pelican; git init . ; pelican-quickstart; vim pelicanconf.py # to set the theme

Then to publish:

pelican . && git add -A && git commit -m "post title" && git push

(I have a shortcut for this, of course)

But I think you overestimate the time to "setup the CI workflow" actually takes. It's just a text file where you put the commands above, so it can run on the server instead of your machine. There's no black magic to it.

> I don't have to worry about a build pipeline at all.

Of course you do; it's just that your build pipeline runs every time someone accesses your site.

> I'm not aiming this at you, but in general I'd love to see how newer engineers would tackle things like deployment if they couldn't rely on some SaaS offering.

I've done that too. I created a bare git repo on the server, with a post-receive hook that checkouts "master" and runs the static site generator. Then I had Nginx serve the directory.
