This looks very nice and fun, will definitely try it with my team! I also built a simple social game a while ago (before COVID) as a side project (https://live.jubiwee.com/).

It did not exactly work out, but I think the pandemic is a call to create new online experiences that are different from your typical zoom call and are an excuse to have fun and socialize with your team/friends during lockdowns. It brings an opportunity to create original and creative experiences.

Also if the situation continues maybe gaming will enter the enterprise world - like playing Minecraft with co-workers make sense to do team-building and is cheap compared to other options. https://gather.town/ is a good example of something different too.
Am I just missing something, or did this article not really even attempt to answer the question? I guess there's nothing wrong with that.

It occurs to me that the "Old West" books, movies, etc. in the U.S. are nearly as small a period in terms of both time and people, and they have been subject to a similarly obsessive focus, although more male-oriented.

Rich, emotional, textured. More extensive world building.

And somehow made me appreciate the show more.
To avoid the appearance of a quid-pro-quo, at least?

Like, the guy clearly doesn't need money, he can do whatever he wants. There is no opportunity cost for him, he doesn't need to make appearances to put food on the table, the financial difference between a $300,000 appearance at Goldman and a free appearance at a kid's birthday party is essentially nothing to him.

If he thinks it's fun to hang out with hedge fund managers, he can do that, good for him, who cares. But them giving him tens of millions of dollars, on top of the tens of millions of dollars that the US government is already giving him, (which by the way is supposed to exist to disincentivize Presidents from seeking gifts or employment after leaving office), is extremely suspicious especially in light of the fact that his crowning achievement in office was deregulating their entire industry.

Like I said, I've never noticed any significant latency playing multiplayer with friends.

It's seamless on a 150 meg connection.

Starlink has a 40 ms latency and that literally goes to SPACE and back THEN ALSO goes through all of the network routing issues that you're talking about.

So you may be overselling the latency problem.

You may have other issues going on? I don't know why you're getting 500 millisecond delays. I'm certainly not getting that.

Apologies I made an edit to my comment before yours posted that’s bad etiquette on my part. Hyper rationalization means following a technically correct path that misses the Forrest for the trees, in this case you could get away without wearing a mask while running through a park and maintaining a ten foot buffer, but you shouldn’t because it signals to others that it’s ok not to wear a mask and makes it less likely for others to conform if there is a list of semi exceptions.
A central database with records signed by each of the organizations would solve the problem. Those records are independent of each other (my compliance status is independent of your compliance status) so do you no have the need for a consensus algorithm across all of the parties.
I've never gotten a single counterfeit good from Amazon. I also look at what I'm buying carefully.
I suggest you start to treat the hn community a little less defiantly: to me your attitude seems contemptuous and condescending. If you humbly listen to downvotes then perhaps you will start to see good reasons for reader’s reactions to your comments.

I skimmed your comment history. Many of your comments are creating narrative from thin air - no different from the worst Qanon offender where there might be some fact but your spin is not. Tying in political arguments (like I just did) is also poor form IMHO. Many of your comments mention downvoting, which is a seriously bad smell to me. At the level of an individual comment, mentioning voting is usually an automatic downvote from me, and I presume others. Relevant HN guidelines: “Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.”, “Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email hn@ycombinator.com and we'll look at the data.”

Edit: I am not saying your comments lack truth, I am just saying that it matters how you write it down.
I assume the idea is that each update can then be manually reviewed (by an actual human) -- because that's what you're paying for as a developer listing your app.

Which should in theory get rid of a lot of scam submissions.
YOLO has always meant, you only live once, gotta try everything. Not you only live once, make it last as long as possible and never do anything dangerous or with possible (probable even) negative repercussions.
Yes she fired the diplomat of the US Embassy for a few months IIRC.

But it’s irrelevant to this post , the goal is for Germany to get sovereign 5G Telecom Infrastructure, today it’s either China with Huawei or American antenna ( NSA + CIA ) with Ericsson.
For me it's not that it's hard to find stuff, it's that I don't...need...stuff. I use a phone as a communications device, as a shopping device, or as a panel to services I pay for through other pathways. I actually do not remember the last app I purchased, like...for money.

IAPs are somewhat of a different story, but even those are pretty niche for me. Do people really need that much...stuff?
I did not mean to say that you didn't provide examples, and I'm certainly not arguing for/against fomite transmission (way above my pay grade) but the question is where do you draw the line?

> What I've never seen is a case such as "they were infected by picking up a package dropped off outside their door", or "they were infected by using the same playground equipment a few minutes later." All of the cases have some element of people sharing the same air.

By the logic of "Yes, they say it's from the button, but it's logical to assume that it was actually the air", if there was a report of exactly one of the scenarios you described, would you say "Ok, it's definitely fomites", or would you automatically start thinking "They say they picked up the package after it was dropped off, but did they open the door just as the delivery person left and it was actually transmission by breathing the same air?"
I tend to agree with you, but the hardest part is when it comes to making coherent decisions about priorities and direction. You've got to have an agreed upon way to set those priorities, otherwise it will just end up going to whoever the loudest person in the room tends to be.

I'm a big fan of the idea behind the Weighted-Shortest Job First approach but the trick is balancing the time investment to do it to the size of the decisions that warrant it.
This seems so inefficient: you're transferring power from the sun into carboniferous life forms, then relying on the compression of the earth to squeeze that carbon into a dense form. Then you have to mine, ship, store, and burn that carbon to boil water to turn turbines -- you are losing a lot of the power in harvest transport alone, let alone the steam cycle. Plus you get all the downsides of combustion: fly ash and greenhouse gases.

Non sarcastic response: Different sites are going to have different needs and different local resources they can exploit for energy. There may be reasons why solar, wind, nuclear, etc. might not be appropriate here.
To be more precise, Anglo-saxon in French refers to the anglosphere and its culture. It's a commonly used word with neutral connotations
J&J doesn't really need to be scaled up because they alone have the ability to produce so much of it.

That said, I'd prefer to get the mRNA vaccines as they seem much more effective, so any scaling up done there is still useful even if J&J alone could get rid of Covid in the US in a few months. (pending need to vaccinate kids for herd immunity, Pfizer is the farthest along that path, but not close to mass vaccination)
> And when they're all involved, nobody is left to care, investigate or prosecute

So everyone in government is in on this conspiracy?

>The evidence is everywhere. They do favors for specific people and groups and get paid by those people and groups. It's really not complicated.

That is circumstantial evidence. Is there any evidence that doesn’t equate to tying yarn on a cork board?
It was. But Germany cooperated with the NSA on mass surveillance so that’s okay. The anti Huawei narrative is entirely political and not based on facts.
> Wild conspiracy theories, financial advice with no basis in reality, astroturfing, and mob behavior.

Like convincing the world that 'short ladder attacks' were a thing.

If he did offload his entire position at the "top", and became seen as a symbolic catalyst of a subsequent drop, I reckon it's randomers on the internet that took a loss that he'd be more worried about.

Especially when the newspapers decided to plaster his real identity all over the place.
What I'm saying is that you must be one of the lucky ones who has a low-latency connection

(Whether or not you're playing multiplayer isn't really relevant, because those other people are talking to the datacenter, not your local client)

> You may have other issues going on? I don't know why you're getting 500 millisecond delays. I'm certainly not getting that.

I haven't personally tried Stadia, and 500ms wasn't intended as a representative example, it was just an extreme number for the sake of illustration.

I have, though, read reports from lots of people who have "good" internet connections, saying Stadia is noticeably laggy (just look at the top comment on this very post).

To get down to specifics, a latency of >16ms is a lagged frame at 60FPS (which is the standard expectation for the current gen of consoles, and has been the expectation on PC for many years). That time window also has to include actually processing and rendering the game state (you can throw hardware at this part, but only up to a point).

So, that Starlink figure of 40ms will still give you a pretty unideal experience.
If you do this, you should probably avoid the 5-star iconography altogether, since at this point, it's too ingrained in our collective mind that anything below 4.5 stars is crap. A good representation for the rating system you describe (where every active install counts as a weak neutral review) would be a like/dislike bar, where the neutral position looks like

----------|----------

and a really good app has a green bar like

----------=======|---

whereas a bad app has a red bar like

> More than the total number of outstanding shares has traded per day over the last 10 days.

This is important, but more important is what percent of those were used to cover shorts. If a large portion wind up in retail's hands or are part of the theory of hedge funds selling back and forth (I haven't seen much concrete evidence of that), that volume doesn't change the math much.
Depends on the kind of SSD. If it's using SLC, the write endurance is much much higher. If you're going with cheap SSDs (TLC or QLC), your write endurance will suck.

State machine via dialogs sounds like a UX anti-pattern.
The problem I have with Stadia is the target audience.

People who want to play AAA games, and

People who don’t care about latency, and

People who don’t want a console.

Honestly, who is this for? If you can’t afford a console there are options such as “Xbox All Access” which starts as low as $23/month. If you want to play AAA games and don’t want a console, you probably care about latency.

I just don’t get it.
Henry Dunant: Visionary Red Cross Cofounder Gets Google Cable Named After Him
"Henry Dunant (born Jean-Henri Dunant; 8 May 1828 – 30 October 1910), also known as Henri Dunant, was a Swiss humanitarian, businessman and social activist. He was the visionary, promoter and co-founder of the Red Cross. In 1901 he received the first Nobel Peace Prize together with Frédéric Passy, making Dunant the first Swiss Nobel laureate.

During a business trip in 1859, Dunant was witness to the aftermath of the Battle of Solferino in modern-day Italy. He recorded his memories and experiences in the book A Memory of Solferino which inspired the creation of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in 1863. The 1864 Geneva Convention was based on Dunant's idea for an independent organisation to care for wounded soldiers."
First, we don't know with certainty that some of the workers were not slaves. Egyptians had both chattel slavery and forced labor.

Second, the Bible never claims the Jews built pyramids. The Bible only says they made bricks.
$400K is 1/2 the average cost of a house in Seattle. I'd suggest there's an argument that if you can't own (no mortgage) a house in your area, you're still 'poor'.

Indeed! Our app (a shift management app) at work is ~20mb, and I felt like that was quite a big commitment to expect people to have on their phones!
Are you comfortable sharing what year this was?
As a maintainer of an RSS reader app which has its own inventory for suggested feeds, one of the uphill battles is sudden removal of RSS support from various sites. I have a list of feeds which are updated once a month and everytime some sites (both niche and big ones) drop RSS support (Reuters and YouTube removing option to export subscriptions as OPML are major blows in last few months).

The reason for these removals is also never given. If you look at those sites now, you'd feel RSS support never existed and nobody used them. So the reason for removal could be anyone's guess. Perhaps RSS icon didn't look good with other social media icons on home page, server serving the RSS feed shut down and no one bothered to check, forgot to add RSS option in new design/refactor or some PM didn't find RSS feed engaging enough and actively killed it.
Yeah, this was pretty obvious even in the original bitcoin paper.

So anti-CCP? Sounds good to me!
Blind is very toxic. It's one of apps I install rarely, only when needed (something is happening at work or to gauge offers) just for mental health reasons. It's unbelievable what people are comfortable sharing under anonymity. HOWEVER, it's one of the only places in tech where the koolaid is called out for what it is and nobody pretends to be happy. It's an island of sincerity.
It's an interesting issue now because norms have changed. That specific privacy view is a very 90's-00's worldview that assumed silos and didn't anticipate using your webmail login for literally everything. Examples include legal firewalls between divisions of banks where they can't use your transaction history to make car insurance decisions. Should an airline know your income before quoting you a fare? (which is why some people use Tor and proxies to search for flights)

Privacy is anti-discrimination, and the reason social media companies are so rich is because they sell micro-discrimination as a service. It's so valuable because when people see how it works they ask, "how is this even legal?"
Any reviewing organization with sufficient manpower would require significant funding, which has to come from Apple, in which case the reviewer is no longer an independent party.
What kind of workload will do that?
Having a system/process is not about removing accountability, it's about reducing discretion/cognitive load where it's been identified as risky. In fact, having a system/process in place to point to and say "this individual did not follow the steps/process/rules" makes an unbiased conversation about their performance much more possible.

I've been a developer for 12 years, most recently at Twitter, including a stint managing. I'm a strong generalist - I've done everything from run servers to write iOS apps, and generally wear many hats.

I'm looking for remote-friendly programming roles at companies in the biotech & synthetic biology space.
I had to read the headline at least six times before I figured out what it meant.
As someone who runs a small (bootstrapped) startup in Berlin I'd recommend you to avoid the smaller startups, as you will often be paid under par and might have bad experiences like the ones you described. I'd go for larger and well-funded ones. Also, if it's not a must to work at a startup you could have a look at all the digital labs / hubs etc. that established companies like BMW, Daimler, VW, BASF etc. are opening in Berlin. They offer somewhat of a startup experience but with big funding and the standing of a large corporate behind the scenes, so you might be able to get a better deal there. I worked for such a spinoff before founding a company again and I really enjoyed it, great pay, nice work-life balance and friendly and savvy colleagues. Just my 2c.
There's a big difference between "the only way you can learn" and "the only way you will learn."

It was always 9 february to me: http://www.nasdaqtrader.com/trader.aspx?id=shortintpubsch ( see Dissemination date)

That's an official date to release short interest.

And I don't disagree with feeling good with shorting at 300-400. But none of the info you just gave me invalidates my reasoning.

Considering there were 139% shorts which is way higher than the normally available pool, which we'll see on the 9th February ( as stated before)
Not exactly. If you have a 5nm fab you can produce chips today that you know work. (the yield might be terrible, but you can get some functional chips every day). In February what we had was something that completed the process, but we had no idea if it worked at all.
90s-ish videogame lore, “Time is an ally, not an enemy. Patience can sharpen even the smallest of efforts into a weapon that can strike the heart of an empire.”

On my cube walls, whenever I get back to my cube: “magic is just cleverly concealed patience.” The approximate η-expansion: you can generally figure out what professional magicians do, you just dismiss it, “I mean of course she coulda known what card I was going to pull if she bought 52 decks of cards and assembled an entire card made out of the Jack of Spades... but that’s expensive and difficult and who would do that.” Penn Jillette puts the same point a different way, saying that he is going to have to perform the same trick over and over again and so it cannot be 99% likely to not injure him, that is far, far too low, he has to be 100% certain his tricks are safe. If he is firing a nail gun at Teller’s neck it must surely be incapable of firing a nail at Teller, and if he waxes on about how much he has memorized the pattern of the nails in the gun then he must be cleverly concealing whatever patience went into making that nail gun and the illusion that it is loaded.

But the key is that once you see this one place you see it everywhere. A restaurant works by the same magic. You say what you want and it magically appears before you. How did that happen? Prep work for hours in advance of the meal, so that when the time comes I just need to put tab A in slot B. Like a beef wellington; pre-cooked steak wrapped into a nice little bundle that just needs to be finished in the oven for 20 minutes and sliced. Something to think about next date night—you can impress your date immensely if you make the wellingtons the night before, so that your focus is on your lover and not on your cutting board.

You don’t usually think about the prep work that went into the Mother of All Demos, but you should. Sometimes when Alan Kay shows a clip from there, he mentions something like, “you might notice that they get sub-second latency on all these operations, but the terminal was here and the computer was over there so I like to ask students how they got sub-second latency on all these operations, and only one time have I got the right answer, one student said ‘because they wanted sub-second latency?’ and that is absolutely correct, they-goddamn-wanted-subsecond-latency, these things are there for you if you really want them.”
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and suggest the group with teams of PhDs writing high frequency trading algorithms might have an advantage over a dude with a Robinhood account.
This is entirely true, and easily verified by checking subreddit user overlap. WSB overlaps heavily with a number of right-wing subreddits, and, naturally, /r/unemployment.
As an occasional R user, I think R markdown one of the things that R does really well. For data scientists who want to output reports (mix of text and calculations), I haven't come across anything as mature or easy to use in the Python ecosystem. I'm a big user of Jupyter notebooks, but version control issues put me off, and I've never got to grips customising the formatting of jupyter nbconvert.

It's worth highlighting that R Markdown actually supports a number of languages including Python - for instance see here:
https://bookdown.org/yihui/rmarkdown/language-engines.html

For example, I am currently considering using R markdown to author the documentation for one of my Python packages. Currently my documentation is written in markdown, but I keep having to copy and paste calculations and tables into the markdown. When things change, it would be nice to just be able to re-run the R markdown, converting Rmd -> md and thereby interpolating the latest version of all calculations into the final markdown doc.
