Uh, should they be prosecuted or persecuted for holding cultist views or not seeking medical treatment? I don't think so, maybe you do. If so, we have irreconcilable differences...

Also — I didn't know the Epoch Times was the #1 newspaper in the App Store. I'm definitely not on that side of the political spectrum, if that's your worry. My concerns about China come more from a progressive perspective. That said, I do think the treatment of Falun Gong in China is atrocious, and I have some Falun Gong friends/acquaintances in the Netherlands (perhaps a bias).

Organ harvesting is a real problem in China, whether on a small scale (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-55097424) or large scale (read through this article and souces https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ_harvesting_from_Falun_...).
Rough Consensus is easier than Consensus. Rough consensus is good enough for the IETF.

I'm not saying "Veto is evil" but I am unsure this was a wise decision for a policy forum to take. Arguably it is, only fully mutually agreed positions should emerge, but that really is a defence of the status quo, in almost all cases.
It always comes down to "it doesn't benefit them" eh…

There are some interesting situations though. Like in the big GPU world it's very common to document the ISA. Even nvidia does. I suppose that's because it benefits the vendor when games and GPGPU compute programs optimize for their GPUs, down to the assembly level. It's sad that Apple's approach is "just use Metal" rather than fully enabling developers to get to the actual… well, "metal"

Here's another way of looking at this. After WWII and other events the amount of salt in the Japanese diet had gone down. This reduced all kinds of problems associated with high salt diets. Many things (soy sauce, pickles, dried meat) were staples in Japan since they did not have non salted ways of preserving food (ie: refrigerators).

In other words, Japanese may be living longer because the DNA of living harder got passed down (hard labor, high salt diet, low calories and only two meals a day/when available). However, Japanese seem, at least to me, to be getting different diseases. In Japan there is plenty of talk about diabetes, arthritis, alzheimer's, etc. in media and in social circles. To me it seems while the Japanese may be more heart attack/stroke resistant they are getting more Western diet related diseases. Having lived in Japan for almost a decade my view of the Japanese diet is highly biased from what I have seen but I think the stereotype of all Japanese being healthy needs to be based on seeing regular Japanese people eat day in and day out.
Yes, this. Thank you for explaining it better than I did. I loved this with a real production python 2 app, and my take-away, be very careful building against proprietary systems like classic app engine and all of its services.

Much of my paycheck ultimately depends on ad-tracking cookies. My employer might well not survive their elimination. Still, this sounds to me more like an enticement than a warning. Yes, please, let's rebuild the web with only opt-in tracking.

So I don't believe that Vitamin D prevents COVID but I still increased my intake of Vitamin D because it seems like Vitamin D deficiency increased the severity of COVID. I wear a mask and practice social distancing to prevent COVID.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7385774/ is a UK study from July that doesn't come to any conclusions but they say "Our opinion is that if vitamin D does in fact reduce the severity of COVID-19 with regard to pneumonia/ARDS, inflammation, inflammatory cytokines, and thrombosis, then supplements would offer a relatively easy option to decrease the impact of the pandemic."
>Not sure you're supporting the point you think you are, or are addressing my points?

I think you are missing mine; I'm not making a blue/red distinction, I'm making a point about senate representation.

First, you are trying to prove that California, Texas, or New York could not be self sufficient. This is a meaningless point as today states like Wyoming are not self sufficient. I'm sure a state like Texas would figure out self-sufficiency much faster than Wyoming. Why do large states have to give up power to small states given that both would probably be screwed without the other, but small states would be likely screwed even more? The idea that large states must cede representative power in order to access resources is absurd - after all they are already paying them via federal budgets; surely there is no reason to double pay? The "they provide resources" argument is bullshit.

Secondly, coming back to senate representation & electoral power - there are vastly more people in rural California and conservative districts like Bakersfield than there are in Wyoming. Those voters have effectively 0 senate representation. Again, I don't care if they vote red or blue, but Wyoming gets outsized power. Why?

I don't naively believe that once California has more representative power that the whole country would turn into San Francisco. I believe states like Wyoming and other sparsely populated, deep red states, allows the Republican party to effectively ignore their voters in blue states as well. That's the reason the current system is upheld - it allows the GOP to effectively never have to answer to it's voters. It cuts both ways, the current system is bad for Americans; red & blue. There are more registered republicans in California than most other states have people and the state itself was solidly red until 1992; yet those voters don't have much of a voice.

The party affiliations do not matter - the notion that a Wyoming democrat has 4x the voice than a California republican just isn't right.
Great to see the progress! I really hope you can grow sustainable and profitable while facilitating Matrix. Kudos!

Tulir's been doing fantastic work, but it does seem that to ~80%, all the significant bridge maintenance/development for public IM networks is a one-man show... Makes me a bit concerned that such a key piece of the Matrix ecosystem (and IMO a crucial component for eventual success) is underfunded, neglected and relying on a single person. Keeping things working with potentially hostile changes in undocumented or unsupported APIs is not trivial.

Also, how does your roadmap for new protocols look (if you have any)?

I'd love to promote this, but without LINE it's pretty much uninteresting/useless here in Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. I heard it's also one of the top IM apps in other countries, like Thailand.

Orange is light/saturated brown, so maybe they didn’t need a name for it?

Isn’t there the adjective burnt orange? (Of course umber)

Orange revenge is the closest rime I can think of.

Now, on the other hand, oddly[1] some languages[2] use ‘coffee’ for brown. Did they not have the concept of brown? Presumably they had mud and results of the digestive process.

[1] I say oddly because the bean is green and the liquid is more or less black unless looked at under light.

In my childhood, all of my parents' siblings, cousins relationship had specific names, like for elder brother of father, brother of mom, sister of parents, their spouses. But anybody outside of that closer circle was Uncle or Aunty. Plus, because enrolling your kids in an english medium was prestigious, & expensive, those schools taught us to use english words, like mummy, papa, daddy, uncle, aunty. It felt like us kids using the english words were making our teachers & parents spending those monies well spent.

For me, close relationship people are always assigned as native words. Stranger, in urban setting, are uncle & aunty. Although now kids also call me uncle. Today's kids' usage of native names has shrinked, & more people are now uncle aunty now.

Whatsapp forwards, crazy info like tracking chips in currency notes, cow urine the solution to every pain, indian X is the best X in world, overflowing nationalism, are more from uncle & aunties, who are not good with technology, & got introduced to whatsapp directly.
The problem with publicly posting their photos is it completely negates any fair justice. There is no trial. They are already presented as guilty. Then who defines how they should be held accountable? The general public? That is not how justice works.
Regarding the logic test: here it's not common at all (especially outside of programming roles, it could be argued that most programming questions are logic tests), but apparently there are recruiting firms that employ them along with other even more dubious tools like psychometric questions to gauge the ability work in teams.

Italy isn't a major source of software engineering positions and has systemic issues with companies being too small and unwilling to invest / partner with others / grow. My (non-quantitative) opinion is that that sort of approach doesn't work that well - hiring is far from a solved problem - but is likely less discriminatory than whatever hunch-based interview processes would otherwise be in place. I'd describe it as progressive-in-context.

Hi brudgers,

It keeps track of your time through a time log. You enter in your title and note... hit the start timer, go do what you have to do, then add it to your time record. You can add more time logs to your time record or create new time records. It is pretty straight forward. If you have multiple people on your team or working with you on a project, you can add them to see your time records as well and they can add to it.
That happened way before google came on the scene. W3C has never been a particularly effective standards body (rip XHTML). WHATWG didn't just appear from the void for no reason.

That said, its a standards body. If you arent standardizing what the majority of the marketshare web browser vendors want, you're not creating standards, just pipe dreams. Consensus is what a standard is. It is not the same thing as regulation.
Take a look at "Immigration AMAs with Peter Roberts
" https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=proberts
Not quite accurate - Google is not the only party in this. Apple, Mozilla, Microsoft and Google formed their own group (WHATWG) that effectively took over the development of a number of standards - HTML and DOM included [0] - and follow and implement those, with W3 ratifying them ex post facto (or not, who cares?).

Google definitely plays a big role in this, but the others should not be left off the hook.

I don't think your parent poster wanted to roll their own auth library. They were disagreeing with using a SaaS for it, that's how I read them at least.
There are still lots of good support organizations out there, and not every place looks at support as a burden. It's a pretty critical piece in the "new" 'as a service' world, helping folks use complex systems that they don't control, etc.

I've been heavy in the data space, and get to do some fascinating work with folks, helping design data models, implement analysis, and other things in a wide variety of verticals. It's support, so sometimes there's some more tedious things too - there's no avoiding that. :)

But, and perhaps I'm biased, it's still a great career path, even if it's not as flash as "code all the time" work.

"Isn't your point of view quite arrogant though?"

It's more than that, it's outright harmful for our evolution. Instead of "nothing can convince me" and "you fundamentally don’t grasp" it may be more productive to focus on the (however little) probable possibility, i.e. "we haven't found a way yet".

Brave beats Firefox on the EFF test because it randomises parts of its fingerprint, which the Tor project seems to reject as a strategy for anonymity [1].

I find the claim that Firefox is less privacy focused than Brave a bit questionable. Brave certainly seems to have good and probably better defaults in that regard, but remember that Firefox is basically developed in collaboration with the Tor project and as a result has various significant (mainly non-default) privacy features architected in such as first party isolation, containers, and Tor-project-approved fingerprint resistance. Easily-disabled telemetry seems like a small hassle compared to such concrete privacy features which do not exist elsewhere.

And for example with something like first party isolation, it is unclear whether Brave would even want or be able to to maintain such a patch set on top of Chromium when it requires quite deep integration with the browser engine.

There’s also the manifest v3 stuff which will presumably end up in Brave at some point.

It ties languages to color and what they mean respectively, specifically how it can differ depending on the tongue spoken.
For instance, in the US, the middle traffic light is called a yellow light whereas in French, it's an orange light. I spent my first few years in France, to this day, those lights are orange to me, even in California.

It's important to point out that the President's pardon does not apply to civil cases, only to criminal ones.

Given this, I find this pardon to be ok. Say what you want about Lewandowski, maybe he was the biggest scumbag, maybe he's worthless as a scientist and does not know the derivative of x squared, maybe (most likely) he stole millions of lines of cutting edge code from Google. But he did not physically harm anyone. He did not even cause monetary harm like Bernie Madoff. It's very doubtful he even caused any psychological harm to anyone. Does he deserve to be sentenced as a criminal?

Well, we all know IP is taken seriously in the US. We know cases as Sergey Aleynkov [1] and Aaron Swartz [2], cases that we consider despicable, where corporations or prosecutors pursued with an absolutely terrifying vengeance the minor transgressions of some unlucky but quite harmless members of our society.

I for one think Lewandowski (and other people like him) does not deserve the ordeal suffered by Aleynkov or Swarz. If I were in the jury, I would give serious consideration to jury nullification.

Don't get me wrong. In terms of civil penalties, I say let him be shirtless. Let him drive a Yugo, if the allegations against him turn out to be true. Google gave him a $100 million bonus, and he took some code and ran to the competition. Confiscate everything he's got. He doesn't deserve it.

But don't put him in prison.

Trump did many, many bad things. But pardoning Lewandowski was a good thing.

Yes, USB is the same Synopsys DesignWare piece of..hardware that you can find on all the Allwinners/Rockchips/Amlogics/whatever. They wrote a driver for the "binding" crap around this to make the controller work, yeah. And some Type-C stuff (Apple handles it in software)
Any idea when will an official Rust SDK exist? Very interested. A link with a tracking issue / PR would also be good to have.
Aren't you tilting the scale by assuming every m^2 farmland displaces m^2 forest?

If you want to every manufacturing side-cost (metal/copper wire tractor turbine) and amount of CO2 you'll end up with an impossibly difficult calculation, at least for these comment sections.

I don't care to aim so high. I'm happy to compare $ cost farm costs & transport versus $ vertical-farm cost & electricity bill.

> energy use related to water production

Isn't that highly location dependant? Do these farm not run off the public water supply? If so, I'd assume the energy cost was higher for drinkable water.
Filter bubbles are more pernicious than that because even if someone has a large and diverse social network, search algorithms can shoehorn them into a smaller bubble where it's much harder to get a diverse set of honest information when a viewpoint is challenged by that social network. It's an orthogonal concern to social bubbles unless that individual doesn't use search engines to consume content, instead getting it all curated through a facebook feed or similar.

For example, a borderline far right extremist might consume a bunch of OAN and Breitbart type sources so the search engines begin to cater their results for that demographic. When a sudden event happens like the Capitol riots, their results might look like a bunch of Q conspiracy crap when they search for "capitol riot" instead of more honest media sources that might be enough to do a self-deprogramming (I'm not sure if filter bubbles have become so extreme, just throwing out a hypothetical). Even if they have a bunch of friends respectfully pointing out the faults in their logic, the filter bubble might make it impossible to do the independent research that would cement a reversal.
I was doing Mac drivers about a decade ago, and some of the dumbest and most ignorant questions on the kernel and drivers mailing lists came from A/V folks. Things like "my machine locks up when our software does X", where it was clear that X was blocking the entire kernel waiting for a userpace thread. Ugh.

I've resolved to never, ever run A/V software on any machine I control based on the quality of those devs.
I think you've had much more luck from your gardens than I've had from mine...
Well, what you describe here (avoiding humanities) isn't the same as what you describe in you original post (discount fields as "pure nonsense.").

That aside, OP talked about what seems to be jargon, and unfamiliarity with it.

"attempt and derive every other field from their own first principles" - sounds like an attempt to engage with a topic that goes further than merely learning the terminology.

So I'm not sure what you mean by "adapt" in this context; but why do you assist on assigning blame/failure? Is it possible some topics are nonsense?

I wish I could use Debian at work, I run it at home on the same server for 8+ years through multiple full version upgrades with very little hassle or trouble.

Not neccesarily. Actions matter, not the name of the group. For example, usa is famous for naming bills the opposite of what they say.

Not saying that's neccesarily happening here, but surely we could come up with a better argument than "it has privacy in the name therefore is good."
I came to say this. Also, in classical languages there is a color that is used to describe rust, e.g. "rubigo" in Latin. Also, amber ("electrum"/"electron") was known, and surely the color would have been seen during metal working through sparks. I think the point is that it's generally either experienced in nature as part of leaf oxidation or in the manipulation of heat and fire, not as a longstanding color phenomenon like the eponymous fruit.
> quasi-mortgage-driven-market-based-rent-control-that's-rarely-enforced-meaningfully.

Not enforced meaningfully would mean to me that "it's abused and no-one cares". As opposed to "the rules are mostly followed, so there's not much abuse to enforce against". And as there's a country-wide renter's association (ASLOCA) I don't think significant abuses would be discussed... And checking their web site, I see https://www.asloca.ch/blog/le-conseil-des-etats-freine-le-lo... (in French) rejoicing that the parliament just rejected some landlord-lobby requests.

When I used to build MVPs for clients I stuck to Ruby on Rails, even though I mostly worked with Python and/or JavaScript on mature products.

Fast to get features usable – as in deciding whether this should be developed further or not based on customer feedback – quickly and the "convention over configuration" aspect makes handover easy.
Depends. When they were struggling with the CCP, eventually getting all their services blocked in Mainland China, I don't think so. There are more examples of situations were Google really does take the other side of the table. It's not helpful to reducing it to these extremes.
If browser diversity is important to you I can't see how you would want to support Brave? No matter how good it is still Chrome you support. If we ended up without Firefox, how do you think Brave users would protest and try to force a bug in standard compliance of CSS to be fixed for example? The answer is they wouldn't as for them and everyone else using Chrome it would be invisible. Chrome is cancer like Internet Explorer, except it has now metastasized.

Supporting Brave is supporting a future monoculture of the web with fancy browser reskins and no matter how good Braves added features are it doesn't change the fundamental problem but becomes a part of it, working for instead of against the good of users.
I started my web hosting business while working full time and going to grad school part time in 2005. I worked on it nights and weekends and tried to incorporate it into my grad school projects.

I was able to leave my full time job and go all in on my own business about a year later and have been self employed ever since.
