> His unproven theory is that Black was using Epstein to pass money to people who he didn’t want to be associated with by name.

Yeah, because that was the business that Epstein was in, money transmission. Nothing to do with... oh never mind.
F-Droid is the best way for open source apps, but also most APKs are available outside of Play Store via websites like https://www.apkmirror.com/. It's a bit of a risk to load apps like that, though.
Using interest rates as a policy instrument is a decision they make. Technically, It would be rather easy for them to change that decision and eg just buy and sell t-bills directly without any reference to interest rates.

They can easily choose to let interest rates float freely.

Of course, even if they directed targeted eg the TIPS spread without worrying about interest rates, in the end they would still add reserves when banks lend. (Ceteris paribus.)
Go to the fdroid website, and download the store.

Alternatively, pull the code from git, and follow the instructions to build the apk.
Repro build folks are introducing variation in the build environment (inc with disorderfs) in order to uncover reproducibility bugs and then fix them. Here are the variations Debian is introducing:

https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/index_variation...

It is similar to how Chaos Monkey increases the resilience of Netflix's service by introducing random failures and then for each of those failures working out how to prevent the failure from affecting the overall status of the service.
In general you want to pick where you live based on property values, flood zone, average hurricane damage, proximity to work, and convenience to other things (like the beach you mention). But almost universally you will be driving everywhere, so don't worry too much about it. Florida is one giant concrete strip mall on top of a swamp. So in general, figure out where you will hang out the most or with whom, and be near there. But also plan to drive a lot. Do you want there to be sidewalks connecting you to the beach / grocery store / etc? Again you'll have to search for those, as it's weird not to drive everywhere. And people on bicycles are seen more as target practice than pedestrians.

Large metros like Tampa are full of crime and traffic. If you want a "nice" walk to the beach, or you don't want your car broken into, you are much better off in a less dense area like Sarasota, Fort Myers, etc. But if you want to hit a few bars/clubs, get a little drunk, and have a short cab ride home, you'll want to be closer to a metro area. Otherwise you may have a 50 minute drive home after hitting a bar with some friends.

Florida is famous for attracting just a few kinds of people, so if you aren't in a part of the state full of your kind of people, you may bump up against culture clash. Research neighborhoods in each area to see which one you might fit in with. But also remember that the "Florida Man" isn't just a meme, it's one of your neighbors.

I grew up in Florida, and I really hate it. I don't understand why anyone but a retiree would move there. There's nothing to do other than sit in your sterile air conditioned house, go to the beach, go to a bar, or get high. And the people are terrible. I still go back for vacation though. It's like a bad ex I keep texting just to remember why I left. Oh, right... you're dead inside.
At least when I was actively looking at hardware (2011-2018), 4 socket Xeon was available off the shelf, but at quite the premium over 2 socket Xeon. If your load scaled horizontally, it still made sense to get a 2P Xeon over 2x 1P Xeon, but 2x 2P Xeon was way more cost efficient than a 4P Xeon. 8P or 16P seemed to exist, but maybe only in catalogs.

I'm not really in the market anymore, but Epyc looks like 1P is going to solve a lot of needs, and 2P will be available at a reasonable premium, but 4P will probably be out of reach.
I reddit daily, I like it a lot. I just gloss over the propaganda crap there, on twitter, facebook, etc. When I want to do politics for real, I do actual fact-based research (as opposed to "my facebook friend watched a youtube video about chemtrails!"). I personally find it easy.

Youtube CAN be a time sink, but so can movies, books, and music. It's my responsibility to manage my time, but I appreciate that it makes it easy to find content I WANT rather than crap.

I grew up dirt poor, homeless twice before I was ten. I make 6 figures now because I work hard, I'm good at what I do (and also because being a white male in America is very useful), and because I know how to spend and not to spend. Good tea is worth it, grocery store milk and butter are fine. A good car is essential, it should work well and look nice, but I'm not buying a Mercedes ever. I have an $1,000 TV that I got for $450 because I love to bargain hunt like some people like to actually hunt.

I don't _generally_ care about remarketing ads, as long as they don't go on for months. My biggest problem is when I see ads for three weeks AFTER I BOUGHT THE DAMN THING.

So I can go to Duck Duck Go, get Google results, but without the benefit of having a profile to determine what's most likely more relevant to me? That doesn't sound useful. I LIKE that Google says, "hey, the last three things he searched were actors in the same TV show, I bet when he's typing a name it's probably related to that same show." I like that Google knows if I search "stars fell on alabama" the chances I want the lyrics to the Frank Sinatra song are 100%. That's beneficial to me.

I have a personal domain for vanity reasons, and also control, yes. If I decide to leave, it's on my terms.

I applaud you for being in charge of your own life, I think I am too. I will say, however, that I think you probably concern yourself with the concept of privacy than me. I'm not a big "what if" person, not a big existential question person. To me, privacy was ALWAYS a lot less encompassing than we ever thought, and at the same time, no one cares about us nearly as much as we think they do. Do FAANG know a lot about me? Yep. but I don't care, because they don't care about me, I don't matter to them. I'm a line in a database, nothing more.

My life philosophy is, "The universe wants to kill me. Eventually it will. My priority is prolonging the magic." That doesn't include worrying about how many databases know I like BSG, Sinatra, Mountain Dew, and liberal politics.
If you want to get away from those sort of 28 year olds - go work in core engineering for an ISP. The sort of persons who are entrusted with admin access on the big, expensive, vitally critical Cisco and Juniper boxes that run a medium to large sized ISP are pretty much the opposite of the raised-on-shiny-GUI persons you describe.

However I think it's unfair to say that people under age 40 are 'social justice warriors'. They've been raised in a bubble of superficial user interfaces and have never been forced to encounter the fundamental underpinnings of the software and Internet.
Apple ad revenue projected to be $11 billion in 2025: https://www.google.com/amp/s/9to5mac.com/2019/11/15/apple-ad...

Why is this hard to believe? Digital content like apps have some of the highest margins out there, and conversion ROI is easy to demonstrate, so the dollars flow easily. It’s a nice business to be in, so it’s not surprising Apple is taking it from Facebook.

We don’t know exactly how much revenue Apple currently gets from ads, because it’s folded into the services category of their financial statements. Apple has set investor expectations that the services will be the main driver of revenue growth going forward, and ads are part of that.
If no one was watching or reading I can't imagine they wouldn't start facing political pushback as a waste of money. Every entities existence is strengthened by usefulness, profit seeking or otherwise.
A subset of people in the AZ study were tested weekly. However the primary endpoint was prevention of symptomatic disease. For someone to count in the top line efficacy number they would have to show symptoms and test positive on PCR. This is roughly equivalent to what the other studies did, although exact definition of "symptomatic" and how they monitored that can be slightly different. There's a common perception I've seen a lot that the AZ numbers are sandbagged because it included asymptomatic cases but that's not the case. If someone never developed symptoms they don't factor in to the 60% efficacy number.

As the other commenter pointed it may be possible that someone had mild symptoms they were ignoring then tested positive on the weekly screening and said "oh yeah I do have a sore throat" but the numbers should still be roughly comparable. It's not worth diving into 94% vs 95% efficacy but I think we can be pretty confident that the 95% vaccine is more effective than the 60% vaccine.

This is also muddied because the AZ trials were a bit of a mess with dosing error and varying times between shots. So now we have a number of different subgroups with their own statistics but not a big enough sample size to say anything confidently about half dose vs full dose or 2 weeks vs 12 weeks. The confidence intervals are a mile wide, but they still get talked about (and even drive policy) adding a lot of noise to the discussion about how effective the vaccine really was.
That's the number with restrictions, lockdowns, curfews, etc, etc. In other words while Serbia was hit fairly badly, relatively speaking, the mitigation measures largely worked. This is not a good argument against mitigation measures.

The Spanish Flu seems to have similar case mortality rates and efforts to implement preventive measures were hampered by the war time conditions so it's a good candidate to compare against when considering the effectiveness of preventive measures. It's spread lead to from 17x to 50x as many deaths as we've seen from the coronavirus at the global level. In India where lockdown measures weren't significant 5% of the population died.
With chase you need to request a margin account. I really like their brokerage account. They never blocked GME, and the don't hide anything.
You say you don't want your life to depend on a soulless multinational corporation.... but I suspect you might not be aware of how much it does.

Do you see a doctor, or use any healthcare services? Or use any pharmaceutical products or cosmetics that are mass produced? Shampoo? Soap? Hand sanitizer?

Do you wear clothing that you didn't make yourself from raw cotton you made? Or shop at a store like Gap, Cotton On, Target, Zara etc?

Do you drive a car? Or take Uber? Or use something like a bus or car, or other vehicle made by a large multinational engineering company?

Do you eat any fast foods? Or eat at restaurants that use any produce or mass produced raw ingredients? Or use any kitchen utensils or kitchenware? Do you shop at say IKEA?

Or do you use electronics like a laptop, phone or desktop computer?

Or do you keep any of your money at a bank? Or use things like car insurance?

It slightly irks me when people claim they want to stick it to the man, and don't like "those corporations".

We have a Green party politician in Australia who lives off the grid, and grows his own produce. Whilst I don't agree with all his policies - I respect that he lives consistently with his beliefs.

If you're on HN - I'd posit that your life (like mine, and billions of others) is dependent on multinational corporations for our current quality of life.

If you don't agree with one of them, that fine, but often it's less to do with principles and more "their customer service is terrible" or "they didn't fix this one issue that is very important to me", or "I read on Reddit/FB/Techcrunch this terrible fact about them"

According to Durkheim
, riots and really crime in general have the purpose of pointing out (perceived or real) deficiencies in society.
I’m sure there is some friendly banter, but I also assume they’d not risk it. Compliance in this context would be very invasive to an average person not in the field, like monitoring your communications, social media, call logs, etc, so I’m not sure they’d risk just casual banter of prohibited topics.
Are the colours in these images real or added for effect in post?
No, software isn’t special, you should be able to buy it just like you buy other things.
I know a lot of people working remotely for either themselves (as consultants) or for companies in the bay area. Sometimes from random place in the US, sometimes from random places in the world. I also work remotely, and have worked remotely, for big corps. I don't see this as a career limiter at all, it's much less stressful to do presentations/meetings remotely, it's also much easier to control your own time. You also save more, if you don't live in a big city. Now, if you like living in a big city, then of course it sucks, but the other side is that you spend most of your time at home so it's nice to have a bigger home with an office.
I have Nissan Rogue 2016. I used to receive phone calls and mails from Nissan Connect enticing me into subscribing for different bundles at roughly 20$ a month. I did not want their entertainment. I was ready to pay for live traffic updates only. That was not an option.
Though this project will not let me display live traffic updates it enables custom software running on a headunit. I hope other projects will spring into existence.
I will be making a trip for USB-ethernet dongle. Thank you for posting it here.
PHP is not bad as a first language but it is rare that a new developer will prefer it.
Admittedly, one of the platform's weaknesses is that its membership should include a sufficient number of people who are capable of debunking blatant ethnocentrism.
Also, those collection types are backed by a number of concrete implementations.
I've been in the consulting / field service part of a major tech company for 10 years. I've been remote for 6 of them and remote with minimal travel for 4. I started remote because we wanted to move closer to family (and ended up closer to my wife’s family.) That part has been brilliant- I think it’s been very good for my kids to grow up close to at least one set of grandparents and I like my in laws*

Mostly is been really good - my team is fully remote, we are supportive of each other, and we take time to be human (chit-chat, complain, etc), which can be a problem remotely.

One thing I’ve learned is that you have to be more intentional in your communication. Yes, everyone is only an IM away, but not being able to see someone in there office brings communication changes. I’ve found it helpful to try to pull more communication out of people (“let’s screen share, it’ll be easier”).

On the work-life balance side is also been really good for the most part. I have a physically separate workspace (a converted garden shed) and little ones that make sure I’m done at 5p and stay done. I do miss in person coworker chats and hangouts at times, but I’ve been able to substitute other relationships over time.

One surprising “drawback” is the increased flexibility I have working remotely means I tend to get stuck with a lot more home chores than my wife. We do share some responsibility, especially during covid, but it’s both reasonable and expected that I get to deal with the majority of the childcare or dealing with workmen, etc.

Another problem, for me at least, is that I do feel trapped at times. My current job pays well above the market rate in my area and I have not heard of any remote alternatives with similar compensation for my skillset. This wouldn’t be as much of a problem in a tech hub.

Overall though, I wouldn’t want to go back to commuting. WFH means at least an extra hour a day or more, and I feel like it makes it much easier to engage with other things I love like my family and the outdoors.

* in the off chance my parents read this- I like you MORE, but you know why I ended up where I did. Retire and move here :)
It's a different risk than having your app removed because google doesn't like it indeed.
Signal, for instance, does this: https://signal.org/android/apk/
> ”Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power."

Not to be confused with corporate capitalism.
Moderna and Pfizer/Biontech did not do regular screening to check for asymptomatic cases, aside from some samples taken in between the shots. Oxford/AZ did regularly screen some participants, but the primary efficacy analysis only looked at symptomatic cases similar to the mRNA vaccines.
How do push notifications work when it's not intergated with Google Play?
Blow it out your ass, dang.
I remember this. The packaging showing the calculation that 1MB = 1024 bytes
Both Signal and WhatsApp work fine. It requires workarounds from the app developers, but it's not impossible to implement.
I’ll add that few cultures were built in life with a goal to build the culture (as in, they are not contrived).
Fantastic! Thank you both. Such a high quality repo, and only 28 stars.

The viewer is really cool. I wonder if it'd be possible to modify it to display a folder of PNGs in a nice streamable way...

(It looks like it only supports slicing a single png, whereas we usually have tens of thousands of pngs. I've been thinking of ways of letting people view lots of ML images better than e.g. how tensorboard does it.)
I had PHP listed among my Linkedin skills and never once in over 10 years a recruiter contacted me on Linkedin asking me to apply for a PHP job.

I have been contacted for every single of my other skills, even F# which is one of the most rarely used languages ever.
It's a shame EV certs are so hard to get. APK signatures use certificates and we could use the already existing CA infrastructure to make app stores unnecessary but stuff didn't work out that way.
Seems interesting. Wanted to give it a shot but it looks like they had no official docker containers and it wasn't packaged in the fedora repos. I noticed the I2P project does have a docker image and seems to do a similar thing. Do you know what the differences between the projects are?

I'm pretty sure Riot was the original name of Element until 2020.
If I'm not patronizing them, who is? Why would a browser want to get into the censorship business?
On iOS you can double tap a paragraph to zoom in on it. That’s been around as long as I can remember.
I think they should be forced to allow apps running in the background to connect to an arbitrary server, to subscribe to notifications
You would think there would or should exist some script that could do all this? I’ll look for something online..
This is a (mostly) solved problem in linux. Your package manager has a central repo, but also can have 3rd party repos added. You'd add the matrix repo and it would automatically update it with everything else. It means everything still gets updated and verified against the keyring.
My happiness depends on all sorts of multinational. I depend on quick access to all sorts of medications, gasoline, shampoo, shipping, industrial food production, airplanes, and more. Why should technology be different?
Just a reminder you can install the APK and there's nothing they can do about it.

Not a friendly experience, but not insanely hard either.
> I hate letting my money sit in an account while smart kids can't afford college

If you know of a smart kid that can't afford to go to college, you could make them a reasonable interest loan and it would be a win for both of you.
This truly isn't new; I've seen coffee table books from the 80s that used similar techniques for the photographs. This is a strangely credulous article.

There’s decades of research on mRNA, which we also know is temporary (explaining its fragility and ultra-cold requirement) and never enters the nucleus. Seems intrinsically safer than adenovirus-based vaccines.
Private company they can do what they want.
> Their economy suffered despite not locking down last year

A forecast, but with data up to November 2020, which means it's probably not gonna change substantially when we have the full year data:

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1102546/coronavirus-euro...

So, Sweden is third least affected country in that list. It's missing Norway and Finland, though, but a quick google shows Norway at -3.5% and Finland at -4.0%, both worse than Sweden.

At the same time, the covid-19 deaths in Sweden is pretty close to the EU average, now, after the winter surge:

https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus-data-explorer?zoomToS...

The obvious conclusion of that data is that lockdowns destroy your economy, but don't actually save lives.
What’s best for the company? How/where can you help the most going forward?
CPU, 25 Mhz. This is when I learned to over clock the cpu to run at a higher speed, at risk of burning it. You simply moved a jumper on the board board and it would boot up at 33 Mhz, yahoo! My boss showed me this and I was able to test much faster, not having to wait so long during the boot sequence.

If you think this isn't coming to iOS next you've got another thing coming.

Oh of course, I never suggested otherwise! We all have different priorities, and also our heads all work in different ways.

But, I wanted to make it clear that, if one has moral exceptions, then they can quit those services and be OK. Many are under the impression that they could not possibly live without X or Y, that's the idea I wanted to dispel.

At some point, the previous holder of the stock was the company itself. That’s called an IPO. Additionally, companies frequently issue new shares to raise money. Tesla has done this multiple times in the past few years.
> the theory that the immune system response to Oxford's virus vector is mostly negating the benefit of the second dose taken 21 days after the first

Do you know if there are more trials underway to verify this? I'm guessing it ties in to AZ's encouragement for delaying the second dose i.e. wait until the immune response has died down. I think UK medical consensus is currently recommending 12 weeks rather than the original 3-4.
