Aakash, what is the intended age for this product? I am asking because I have two younger children with food allergies.
Yeah, normal words like "reaching out" (said the way Neil Diamond says it, with some seriousness and a straight face). It turns professional life into melodrama.
SMIC works tax-free and enjoys massive government subsidy because the government is counting on them to progress to finer lithographies.

If they give up on that goal, many of their government-given advantages disappear.
don't listen to what we're being told all the time, we just know what the current social media will allow for. And I think we do the Internet for the wrong reasons. I think we should treat social media as a technology-based network; and just be more aware of its current purpose, not as a way to 'like' people or to be "trendy".
Because its still winter and herd immunity from natural infections is a gradual process not a steep cliff? At the very least it seems like those factors could be accounted for.
I think it would be a great shame if the only self-aware life in the observable universe dies out before it can find out the mechanisms behind all of this.

Sometimes when I'm trying to doze off at night, I think about how strange our existence is. Not even the smartest people on this planet have any idea how or why the universe exists. We might never find out. We might be a simulation operated by higher beings, but that raises even more questions. Argh, what I would give to know.

I would expect Germany to rank near the top of any world ranking of "capacity for effective public action". Brazil and its twin USA are not at the top of those rankings.
"The top 20 search terms used by those in the United States seeking white supremacist material online last year started with 'RaHoWa,' short for Racial Holy War and the name of a white power band. Then came 'Ku Klux Klan phone number.' Phrases like 'how to kill blacks' or 'swastika tattoo' fill most of the list.

Amid an upsurge in violent hate attacks, federal law enforcement agencies and other groups have been scrutinizing online activity like internet searches to counteract radicalization.

Now a private start-up company has developed an unusual solution based on ordinary online marketing tools. It sends those who plug extremist search terms into Google to videos that promote anti-extremist views.

Known as the Redirect Method, it was first used against potential recruits for the Islamic State, but recently it has been repurposed against white supremacy in the United States."
Spain has curfews in many regions right now. I believe Mexico has no restrictions, why not there?
>We’ve reached a dangerous level in society where people are afraid of human interaction, refusing a phone call because it makes them interact more humanly and with less control.

>Texting gives you more reflection on what you’re gonna say than a real and instant conversation

That's..not the conclusion I would have pulled from that. Seems far more likely people prefer to text over call because texting allows them to continue on with their day while calling requires them to give up a certain amount of time and interrupts what they're currently doing.

Millennials are supposedly very phone-shy (something I can anecdotally confirm) yet I've never seen anyone barring the pandemic I don't think they're any less likely to engage in in-person human interaction, which doesn't fit this conclusion about phones. Long phone calls, especially over cell phones due to comfort and latency issues, are uncomfortable.
Knowing who owns an object is a solved problem in C++, most codebases I've seen use unique_ptr. Rust isn't the only language with ownership.
So I like twitter, and I get a handful of tweets per day - no more, no less. But I just can't resist trying to get more of my "tweets" into my phone, whether my friends want to share, or just 'liked" or commented or likes the comment I just wrote in twitter. (It's okay, it'll probably get deleted, sorry. I just love Twitter.) I also like getting 'likes' off of 'twitter', but mostly because my friends and co-workers can see those, and feel 'liked' too. Like I said, I'm a user of twitter for a few reasons and a very important reason - to engage more with people online - whether social media wants me to, or isn't too keen to allow me.
Just a note on your opening concern: the twitter thread may have opened with the mild statement, "The US government is inviting inflation", but the rest of the thread was quotations from the book 'Dying of Money'[0], about the period of hyperinflation in Weimar Germany.

The thread culminated in a tweet that directly suggested our past decade is similar to Germany's gestation period prior to hyperinflation, and that we are on a similar course. The discussion of hyperinflation is absolutely on topic.

"He wants you to believe that green is the best color of M & M, but his business went bankrupt," is an ad hominem argument.

"He trains parakeets, so I don't find him a credible source of dog behavior" is not.
Had to look this up because I was curious. This site quotes from the World Almanac, which states 32% of the US had a cell phone in 1999.

https://hypertextbook.com/facts/2002/BogusiaGrzywac.shtml

From my personal anecdotal experience, that would be correct. I had a cell phone, but had gotten my first in 1998. All of my friends who were professionals did too. My friends who were artists, or more marginal economically, did not. Cell phones were a common sight, but it was also clear that many didn't have them. I remember feeling slightly special when I could pull mine out in 1999. Even Seinfeld had jokes about cell phone etiquette. Which was a clear sign they didn't expect their audience to be entirely comfortable with them.

A breakdown by city would be interesting. Wouldn't be surprised if usage was 50%+ in larger cities.
> You don't take someone who has PyCon on their CV and get them to do fizzbuzz on a whiteboard

Disagree. I’ve also interviewed hundreds of candidates over the last couple decades, spanning a half dozen or so companies, and there’s always been a rule of consistency. Giving candidates wildly different interview experiences introduces bias, at the very least, but it also makes it very difficult to select the best candidate among a pool. There is simply no way to compare each and stack rank them, you might as well pick one at random.
I haven't written policies yet, and you're right. Free speech is limited to the policies of the platform. That being said it is open source so you can run your own instance with whatever policies you want.
I would've somewhat agreed if he was talking about a SPECIFIC pattern/case. He's trying to sell this as all encompassing.

You can't argue against more flexibility and control using a tool that offers the exact opposite.

After the 90s java craze, it seems some remnants still remain.
Don't ascribe to malice... The dates and sentences can change so many times it's surprisingly hard to calculate. I've watched people who try earnestly to get the dates right complain about how hard it is.
Now yes, but when the collected all that data the community spread in those countries was much lower.
In best cases, the test cases are good and pass... and yet such errors will still abound.

Why? Because the spec for which the tests where written didn't include some contingency, for example with software that rigidly require certain steps to happen and doesn't provide a human-controlled override.
I know there are things like this, but I don't think they should be allowed. Not everyone has a smartphone. Many elderly people don't. Many poor people don't. Many disabled people don't. Yes, having the option to bypass human interaction using a phone should be allowed, but to make travel dependent on having a smartphone is insane. It's like those websites for signing up for the Covid vaccine ignoring that a lot of elderly people have no idea what that even means.
This feels like the right approach. If peer review were to include artifact evaluation, including some kind of code review, and require certain standards be met for acceptance, things would change. As others have noted here, the mechanisms of grant-funded work strongly discourage attention to code quality, and that would have to change as well.

I'm not in academia now, but I started out my career doing sysops and programming in a lab at a medical school and have worked with academics a bit since. I don't do it much because it's basically volunteer work, and it's almost impossible to contribute meaningfully unless you are also well-versed in the field.
Skype's big innovation was its ability to work in NAT-to-NAT situations, not anything to do with its actual calling functionality. People were video chatting even way back in the mid '90s: https://www.sattlers.org/mickey/CU-SeeMe/internetTVwithCUSee...
Clicked on browse, and then read the first term for 'above the fold'. pure gold

Unsucked:

The mystical location on websites where advertisers want their ads to appear. Originally referred to physical newspapers, which folded in half and made money from advertising. Today, newspapers don’t have advertisers and just fold.
What's the intrinsic value of USD? It's a garbage pre-mined token that's continually debased at the behest of a cabal of rich bankers so they can purchase real assets and consolidate the world's wealth. The petrodollar isn't exactly efficient either, considering the costs of the military industrial complex.

Every year the USD is worth less. Every year BTC is worth more.

Hope that helps.
Of course we lose something when we abstract to higher level languages, that's exactly what it means to abstract out. It'd be more surprising other way around. For example, when you're programming in a language like Haskell, Python or Java you cannot micromanage your pointers etc. This is because these languages abstract away the memory layout of objects. If you do hacky things and override the memory intentionally you can cause e.g. garbage collection to misbehave etc. On the other hand in C++ or C you can manage exactly how objects are encoded in the memory, when and how you allocate memory for your system. All these things are not things you're meant to be able to "customize" in higher level languages.
Literally none of those reasons justifies keeping someone in a human cage.
I think for many people it's still hard to temporarily and quickly exit a long BTC or long ETH position, but daytraders want to do this with great frequency.

This is doubly true for people outside the US, not to mention people who are trying to skirt capgain taxes. Of course, an argument could also be made that a tether failure would cause people to flee to BTC or ETH and paradoxically cause prices to rise.
I agree that "fear sells". Usually there is a "them" to be afraid of. Not sure the media has figured out who we're supposed to be afraid of in this pandemic.
I can’t tell if this is a joke or not
I would argue that you pay the cost at runtime but you also pay a cognitive overhead cost while writing in a dynamically typed language. Refactoring in particular is a lot more difficult.
I'm pretty sure biking at a fixed cadence outside would have a poor result as well in flat terrain.

At the end of the day I've seen massive improvements in my cycling ability when regularly doing a HIIT bike routine (such as sufferfest for example) on a trainer such as the wahoo kickr.
Yes, I'm also personally most interested in that question. (But will accept more data on any of these questions, since they're so societally important.)
Palantir: Unlocked and Almost Loaded
This comment is a slightly tangential shameless plug, but I just want to point out that I loved the structure of this essay. There were a lot of great little ideas that I don't think would have seen the light of day in a more traditional sort of blog post.

> All the points I wanted to cover seem hyperlinked in a sprawling loose tangle. This could easily have been several standalone posts. I've been stuck on how to structure it.

> This piece is long, but if you get bored in any one section, you can just scroll on the next one; they're separated by horizontal rules for easy visual scanning. You can also read them out of order. There are lots of cross-references, though, so if you skip some of the segments, others may not make complete sense. However, it’s ultimately not a big deal.

I've long wondered how many essays don't get published because the author struggles to generate a "through line." Sometimes organizing ideas is harder than coming up with them. This is certainly a problem I struggle with.

I've been working on software[1] that encourages you to publish ambitious online media even if it's a bit disjointed. Currently, only me and my friends and family are using it because it is very rough around the edges, but it is good enough that I personally use it every single day.

If this sounds interesting to any HN comment readers I'd love to give you a beta code or a live demo to hear your thoughts. Send me an email at jon@edifice.pub

> Your first sentence was quite condescending, FYI, not sure if it was meant to be.

No, it was not and thank you for flagging that. Is it condescending to assume one is not a web developer if they don't know content negotiation? I thought that was Web 101 and pretty much one of the first things you go through when learning about HTTP, but maybe things have changed as of late.

I'm sorry spelunker if my message came off as condescending, I have no real idea of your professional and was only trying to provide a resource to learn more, not to push anyone away.

Mining/Trading BTC over the counter since 2011.

I've never used a darknet market.

I read an article on slashdot in 2011 called "Bitcoin Mining for fun and profit" I bought a graphics card, it paid itself off in 21 days.

I bought 12 more graphics cards and sucked down 3kW for 24 months.

I do not regret this and every single person here that doesn't understand proof of work, doesn't understand a deflating asset with 8 (10 million) decimal places of trading precision against fiat currencies with only 2 decimal places...

Well I can't help people on the internet do math and make money, no one pays me to do that.
> Windows XP first release was in 2008

Not the 90s, but XP was released in 2001.
If you're a front end developer the advantages a clear because of much superior tooling. The reason for this the agreed SDL spec format which is part and parcel of GQL. REST is just a loose collection of ideas and OpenAPI is not integral to REST as theres no single over arching spec of organisation for REST.

In my experence therefore, the tooing (code gen, doc gen) etc around OpenAPI is piss poor in comparison to gql. Just look at GraphIQL compared to postman.
There's more:

* The WHO updated their guidelines for PCR tests in a way that could cause this (because the tests were being misused, the new guidelines clarify how they're supposed to be used in a way the previous ones did not), except the update also happened after the drop started.

* The drop is worldwide, it seems like only a handful of countries aren't experiencing it. In most places it started at various parts of January, but here in Illinois it started in November (minus spikes that correlate to Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Years).

* There is no correlation in the US between "lockdown states" and "reopened states". It's just dropping everywhere.

My personal belief: We already hit herd immunity in most of the world a month ago. There's a few possibilities for why this would be (underestimating cross-immunity or how far the virus has spread, for example), but it's really hard to say for sure.
I don't know but my bigger issue will be that before the scan this means 99% of my future subjective experience that I can expect to have will be while working without remembering any of it which I am not into given that a much smaller fraction of my subjective experience will be in reaping the gains.

From experience, riding rollers regularly will makes you more efficient on an actual bike, because you have to keep the bike relatively still under you on rollers in order to stay upright.

You don't have to keep the bike that still under you on the road, and that wastes energy.
There is a cut and dry relationship between bitrate and audio fidelity. You simply cannot encode higher frequency audio in lower bitrate samples.

Cambridge Ideas – How Many Lightbulbs?
Admittedly, I am not familiar with maker I will have to go take a look.

I guess the difference between me and someone who would use these DeFi apps, is that they are using crypto as a speculative investment (which is fine, I speculate with other assets all the time). But most people do not have a significant portion of their net worth in crypto tokens. For me, it is much cheaper/easier/safer to just get a traditional loan.
Did you ever check out odata? It seems that's exactly what you want
You could have another aircraft tow you, like gliders sometimes do. Doesn't seem terribly practical though.
OData adds this kind of functionality to REST APIs, in a standardised way. It can do filtering, pagination, sorting etc (your backend data provider of course needs to support these operations).
Prominent VCs like to spread this message. I'd take it with a healthy pinch of "remember who's bringing the news". Obviously the people offering less money are trying to sell the idea that less money is somehow more valuable.
What would be nice is if they supported high-quality music videos along with the audio. A cap on monthly minutes would be ok. Most tracks are available on Youtube anyway.
Absolutely true, and a huge issue in mental health treatment. That being said, I wonder if there's something to be said for medicine even in such situations. Maybe we should consider the basis for treatment to be 'is better able to function in current situation'. For instance, ADD is realistically just rounding out the wrong end of the focus bell curve, and depending on how much focus is needed in your day to day life you might be functional or nonfunctional with the same natural level.
I don't mean to compare it to herd immunity, but I wonder how much impact there is from people with situations, behaviors and decision making strategies that tend to lead to infection getting immunity.

Essentially, is there enough bias in transmission for some people to make a greater contribution to group immunity than others.
> The niche we choose was product companies from 20 to 200 people.

This is still pretty broad for it to be a niche IMO.
So why didn’t your investors offramp to fiat themselves, and then transfer you USD? Or are you saying they were in foreign countries and had non-USD denominated bank accounts, this you saved them currency conversion costs?
His math and sentiment is correct. In real life, if he tells Bob to invest all his investment saving in an index fund with less than 5 years before retirement (all his investment at this point will be 100% allocated to stocks), Ben should lose whatever license he holds.
I have a very cynical take. Probably too cynical. The ability to shift blame to software as opposed to the humans responsible for administering a bureaucracy is exactly what makes it so appealing. The question is ignored intentionally.
Indeed, this is an example where each English word in a book gets a unique symbol for the purposes of Huffman coding. Note that the Huffman output is in base 52 (abc...xyzABC...XYZ) alphabet instead of the usual binary.
Moderna is also approved, although there doesn't seem to be much supply. Novavax should also be approved within the next few weeks.

Ask HN: Is there a service that allows you to pay to talk to a domain expert?
This might sound like a dumb question because, yes, of course you could take a college course or book an appointment with a doctor. But I mean, something semi on-demand where a person could pepper, something like a genetics expert with questions for two hours if they're willing to pay $500/hour to do so.

Any ideas?
Another thing is it seems people want to move into VC rather than keep building products. Investing is inherently lazy, it requires decision making but not much work if you are the person who has the connections to raise the fund. You can hire other people to do the effort of managing investments because you can’t be dethroned from having the money connections.

So people who actually make successful products get valued more and more. The unfortunate part is you actually have to work for a living, but luckily you keep getting more of the lazy people’s money.
Yes and by doing so you lost the advantages of a predictable and well organised API.

GraphQL has first class support for this scenario.
Sure. The article didn’t provide any evidence that it is occurring. Nor would it have anything to do with what the article is talking about. The article’s argument is that it’s racist to be expensive. That’s not racist, it’s just supply and demand.

Hi! Children as young as 4 can start on allergy drops.

However, Wyndly only treats environmental allergies like pollen, pet dander, and dust. We do not treat food allergies.

There are a number of promising therapies currently undergoing clinical trials for food allergy oral immunotherapy, and we are optimistically awaiting the results. Here's some trials from the Sean N.
