That's exactly it. They're not trying to crack down on misinformation, they're just trying to create a monopoly wherein established outlets are able to filter what's True and grey out what is False or Misleading.
I like so much about Kitemaker.
Thanks for your hard work.
That's a much higher bar to clear, particularly if end-users don't have admin access to their workstations.
The TAs caught it because the students copied the text exactly, so there was no issue of evidence. The administration didn't get a say because she never reported it to them.

In retrospect I could have made a stink and gone to the dean, but Freshmen me wasn't willing to do that sort of thing.
>I don't understand why WHO is selling it's creditiblity in trade for politics. What is there to gain?

Might have something to do with the fact that the leader of the WHO, Dr Tedros Adhanom, was hand picked by the Chinese communist party and won the position over the US and EU's favored choice.

Join the data team or the enterprise engineering side. Or join as a solution architect. Maybe there's a business unit that needs software engineers but can't get them the normal way. Your senior engineer skills will go a lot further there than competing in the general engineering pool.

I know these positions exist in all companies. Find the unseemly but necessary work and deliver. The current CEO of Google worked on Google Toolbar and turned that into Chrome.

You could even go the contractor route for 2 years and try to lever that into a full time role.

The other thing way would be to spend a year diligently leetcoding...
Apparently not many doses have been exported from Halix in NL, and they have a stockpile of doses
There are cases in Wuhan which predate the wet market cluster. That appears to have been a super spreading event but not the origin.

The bats this disease come from we’re not being sold in the market at this time. They’re out of season. So already the theory is assuming a multi-animal hop (some other wild animal got in contact with a bat and got infected, then captured and moved a thousand kilometers to the wet market and killed).

Meanwhile the bio lab in Wuhan received a sample of infectious coronavirus just months prior to the earliest known case. Within a few weeks of the outbreak while China was still downplaying the disease, the central government passed a rushed emergency safety rules update for these labs, starts pushing back on requests for access, and using state media to throw out a bunch of crazy theories about external origin.

Anyone with half a brain can connect the dots.

Landlords in big cities always raise rent because they can. They'd rather push a current tenant out than work with them, because with the high turnover they are sure to get a new tenant pretty soon at the higher price anyway. Its this sort of unscrupulous taking, of maximizing profit because its 'leaving money on the table' to not do so, is why we have rent control ordinances which work by capping the maximum yearly % increase in many of our big cities (although this cap is typically higher than the median wage increase so landlords still beat the economy with their investment and with rent control ordinances applied, despite some sentiments online about rent control).
The "downside" you forgot to mention a lot of important things:

- tooling is abyssmal ( IDE etc ... )

- no mutli threading

- no real support, I'm not even sure if there is one paid guy anymnore on the project

- it's still immature

- they break the API all the time
Can't language features help solve some of those problems though? Improvements in static typing can help with algorithm implementations, reduce the amount of testing required, and make conflicting requirements more obvious.
> This is not dominant human nature; all basic needs met, most turn to fighting/copulation/gluttony/drugs/sloth.

I am confident demand is infinite and people will not want to stop working if more basic needs are met[1]. It's the opposite - people don't produce efficiently if they're starving and they can't be matched to better jobs because they don't have the free time to find them.

> Oh, just noticed your racist BS at the end. Bye.

You seem confused since you're the one arguing poor people are naturally idle and will just get in fights with each other if made less poor! Luckily, I have the normal opinions of a person in 2020 and we can all see through through Reagan's "welfare queens" propaganda at this point. As for the evidence about American voters, you should see the people they elect, but also David Shor[2].

And another reason, Google makes money when you click on low-quality machine generated search results, because these pages are almost always monetized with google ads. This causes a conflict of interests: when they improve search, they earn less money.
Yes, this is my issue as well. If you contradict the experts, you're a crackpot... but then a couple months later the experts start to say the things the crackpots had been saying... and then it's acceptable.
My wife is a relationship coach, and what women want in a partner is very different than what men want.

To keep it short, men want "pretty", women want "successful".

You cannot just discard evolution and biological differences when it comes down to partner preferences. I believe in gender equality, and gender differences. Both can coexist.
For coding questions it still works relatively well. For "reviews", or anything remotely tied to commercial interests, it's indeed pure garbage: pages and pages of low quality links.
Well, the ideas I was referring to was my programming language ... for board games:

http://www.adama-lang.org/

I imagine that I have a few years until I see some of my ideas being more mainstream. There are a few database offerings (like firebase) which are similar to the infrastructure that I am going to build, but I am targeting a completely new data stack.

Such a build doesn't make sense without products, and I'm limiting myself to board games because... that's what I want to ship.

If I push my ideas out as a replacement for... mongo or mysql, then I'm going to get a lot of push-back. IF, instead, I push my ideas out via new products like a deck builder for married couples, then I just took an eccentric path.
Exactly, they botched multiple other things but on this they got it right.

I had my first AZ Oxford shot on Tuesday, I’m 40 and have health issues but nothing that is directly affected by COVID (though coughing is dangerous for me).

Second one is due June 2nd, the first dose to as many people paid off, evidence was good it would but it was still a gamble with so many lives on the line.
Well, that's true, OS being able to protect itself is useful and necessary, but my point is that it's nowhere near sufficient (as your parent post seems to imply) for preventing consequences of ransomware attacks, because by the time standard OS protections (which are reasonable) are broken because attackers have privileged access, they can also do worse things than just attack the single computers' OS, and if they can't get privileged access, well, then the OS is effectively write-protected anyway unless you're using something totally outdated. IMHO if the OS and its configuration would be securely write-protected (perhaps from media that's physically read-only?) that wouldn't help much if at all.

It won't prevent lateral movement through the network (that's often memory only, no need to write to disk), it won't prevent persistence through theft of credentials or kerberos tickets (and possibly make it harder to rotate credentials), and of course it won't prevent the exfiltration, encryption and/or destruction of the actually valuable data.

If we look at an advanced ransom attack (e.g. as many described in this article - manually operated after initial access like many Emotet attacks, not some purely automated malware) then I struggle to imagine what parts of the attack would be thwarted if the OS and config would be write protected - do you have something specific in mind?
In common language it might not, but in this "FIRE" context, it most certainly does. Arguing that FIRE is misguided because "why would anyone want to sit on their ass for 30 years" is a strawman.
It is still global. Typing collections and instance/class variables help, you can optionally type methods, but anything that is not explicitly typed is going to be inferred during invocation and that needs to happen based on all callers in the whole program. Reducing the amount of type variables do not eliminate the global behavior.

In contrast, local inference considers a predefined context, such as the current module or class, and is much faster, easier to cache, etc.
Health-care and other benefits would be priced into any contractor's fees. IE, for a full-time job that paid $100k + benefits, you'd need ~$160k on contract to make up for the additional taxes, self-paid benefits, etc.

Looking at peers who struck out on their own, you can make good money as a contractor, but you typically need to be top of your profession and able to command massive fees. And like any business owner, the pressure to always have too much work usually ruins any chance at using the money for longer, more extravagant vacations.
The big companies just level you. So apply as a senior or junior and they level you. It's about alignment to the group more than anything.

The issue is you presented opinion as fact.

Opinion: I don't enjoy Go as much as Perl. [PASS]

Opinion: I'm more comfortable with Perl because I've spent more time in it. [PASS]

Both are perfectly acceptable.

However you made comments about objective truths that were incorrect:

Truth: Go doesn't download modules to disk. [FAIL]

For what it's worth, I really like Perl too. Us two are a dying breed in that regard. I was in two minds whether to reply because of that respect I have for fellow Perl hackers. But you kept repeating the same falsehoods as fact :(

Take your latest comment for example, you can bring up the Go docs for packages in the terminal as well:

go doc $PACKAGE

So even there your Perl point is still equivalent to Go on an objective level. But I don't blame you for not liking/enjoying a language on a personal level.
Would this have implications on Google Analytics? I didn't agree to them knowing what URLs I visit.

I was speaking in the context of the files, not the backups.

How is this program to know that a file edited by the virus to encrypt is legitimate or not when the edit is being made by a user that created and owns those files? The backups themselves can be contaminated months before the encryption and ransomware attack is sprung. Restoring from last week or last month's backup might still lead to your system being encrypted.

Additionally, as the other user pointed out the goal would be to gain access to the appropriate user with the level of permissions, such as an admin or root account, and use those credentials to carry out the attack.
Besides funding (and maybe multithreading), I'd say that every new language will suffer from these limitations. They are difficult to avoid.
First time I hear of DeltaChat. Does it use email as the actual transport? Sounds prone to stupid latency. What's the benefit over Matrix?
If you're a buyer, no agent is going to refuse you since they're getting paid by the seller.

If you're a seller, you might very well get fewer agents bringing their clients to you. You're free to advertise that you will pay a commission to entice agents though. And the buyer is also free to side step the real estate agent or tell their agent they will make up for commissions from non agent represented sellers.

It's 2021, using Redfin/Zillow/Trulia/Craigslist/Realtor.com is trivial.

I foresee less and less opportunity for collusion as information becomes more and more accessible to everyone.
In fact, simply from a modelling perspective, this is very likely scenario.

If you take an unknown diseases with an R of 2-3, what you will see is a number of smaller clusters, some dying off, before you get the one cluster that becomes the pandemic.
> Not just FIRE people, but 99% of all retirees at any age end up doing nothing of note with their time.

This is exactly why I think FIRE is a great thought exercise even if you don't actually care to do it. Given enough money to live for the rest of your life without the need for a job, what would you do with your time?
Ugh, I absolutely hate these. They're always super hard to separate due to the slippery plastic they're made of.
It is a relatively new language, all of the points you listed are expected. The last one should be taken care of now that they released 1.0.
> China is building up its navy to protect itself. If they lose the South China Sea, they could be blockaded and starved of energy, resources, and food. They're building to reach parity with the US Navy or even outgun it, and they're trying to stall long enough that they can win should there be an encounter.

China has absolutely no chance to meet head-to-head against a US Carrier Strike Group on neutral territory. Absolutely none, and the US has TEN Carrier Strike Groups.

Ex: If China + US decides that we need to fight over in Antartica, the US will win in nearly every feasible encounter.

-------

China's plan isn't to win or even challenge the Navy on the high seas. Instead, China's plan is to assert military strength with the seas it is close to: asserting military might against Japan, Taiwan, Philippines, Korea, and other local minor powers.

Furthermore: Chinese air-forces can launch from Mainland China to support any hypothetical naval operations.

-------

EX: Its not trying to beat US in a fair fight. China is likely aiming to beat the US in an "unfair fight": any fight close to China's territories + air force + cruise missile range might stand a chance against a US Carrier Strike Group.

A few powerful Chinese ships under the protective cover of cruise-missiles + Chinese airforce is probably the plan. It only will be effective when close to the Chinese coast, but that's all China really cares about.
Global Covid vaccine inequality 'becoming more grotesque every day,' WHO warns

How many people are buying a house with anything less than 100% of their money?

Everyone I know who "owns" a home first had to save up for a 3-20% down payment, which translates to having 500-3,300% of their money in the asset.

Biggest outlier I know personally put 50% down, so 200%.

Obviously I know that cash buyers exist too but that's not most people, unless I'm woefully wrong.

I'm not qualified to check if quantum mechanics and relativity are really derivable from his model, but if they are, seems like a big achievement at least as theoretical juggling (independently of the reality of the theory).
I'm not an expert, but I strongly suspect that you haven't looked for debate very hard. I strongly suspect that there is a fair amount of debate on that question. In fact, I'm pretty sure I've seen debate on that question, right here on HN.
Their best shot at competing with GitHub is on features ( and they do a pretty good job at it too), so i think they can't afford to stop shipping new features.

GitHub's UX is simple because it doesn't even come close to what GitLab provides, even in the free tier, and their iteration is much slower. If GitHub had GitLab's features it'd have a complex in some places UX as well.
This is a textbook false dichotomy. We could change the laws around digital privacy to reflect an infinite combination of policies, it is not a choice between two options. The point is that Facebook's position should not be the default policy.

What makes this case particularly exciting to me is that it feels like a step in the direction of bottoms-up protections for citizens, as opposed to top-down regulation of corporations, which I believe is the better path forward.

If you’re only going to do something once in your life then it’s probably not going to be something you execute with the same calculation and expertise that you’d something more common like tying your shoe laces up. So people who live in the market get to do all sorts of middleman things.
Same in Fort Collins. Last house we lost on was listed for 425, sold for 500 with waived inspection and appraisal gap.
Anti-vaxxers of the tinfoil hat variety are most emphatically not 'the slightest sceptic'. Once you get into that category you are way off the deep end.

Many people dislike the way big pharma works. I do. I hate how medicine for rare deceases is frequently treated as a bargaining tool by large pharmaceutical companies to put pressure on national governments to choose between paying the outrageous prices that have no bearing on cost or even healthy profits at all, or else explain to a nation why that medicine can no longer be covered by insurance.

But that's not quite the same as thinking Bill Gates is putting 5G nanochips in the corana-vaccines, or outright denying that covid even exists. We're not talking concerned medical professionals or other science minded people acting as whistle-blower, but yoga teachers with dubious real estate holdings who are calling the recent elections fraudulent because their spur-of-the-moment political party didn't win any seats (to allude to one infamous Dutch example).

Some people have standpoints that are not only absurd, but harmful. Pretending that these people may have a point and offering them a platform is harmful.

At least for Moderna, it wasn’t pure luck to pick them. I was following it from near the beginning, and there was really solid data coming out on its effectiveness. Pfizer/Bio took a nearly identical approach.

And overspending by buying a hundred million doses of each of the 20 vaccines STILL would’ve been a massive bargain.
I'm confused by the top comment using this headline to complain about the quality of results. The quality of results is obviously irrelevant to the fact that most searches do not result in clicks. Google specifically tries to answer your question on the result page:

"nifarious" - oh, it's spelled "nefarious"

"1000 USD in CHF" - aha, about 1000 swiss francs

4 tablespoons in cups - 1/4 cup

"how old is taylor swift" - 31 years; this shows up in the suggested search dropdown, so you don't even need to hit the result page

> I just want to work on whatever i want to work on.

This is exactly why I'm pursuing leanFIRE. Even if I hit the jackpot, I would still be toodling on personal software projects for the rest of my life. Not saying I'm any Michelangelo, but I would have to be trained not to write software. I'm just aiming to set my own priorities instead of working on things I'm not passionate about because I simply need the money.

I keep wondering if I shouldn't quit the day job and start a software shop, but even that sounds an awful lot like work where you trade one relentless taskmaster for another. I sure as shit don't want to have to worry about market share, I just want to make cool (to me) software.
>Refusing to listen to so many GNU contributors and former FSF board members sends the message that the FSF is ore about Richard Stallman as a person than about the free software community / movement.

I am not a huge Stallman fan. Personally he has many flaws. Then again who among us is perfect, particularly in that respect? But when it comes to his philosophy and hard line on free software, I fully support his position. Even if I don't 100% ascribe to all of it. Because without people like him willing to maintain a hard line stance for at least a sliver of the greater whole, nothing gets advanced. It's the 1% that change the world, not the "community".

Indeed - what the "many members" you reference were upset about was a bunch of political bullshit that had zero to do with the free software movement, and RMS does not suffer fools when it comes to the core principles of the free software movement.

I may not agree with all of those either, but in that respect as well I do agree with him far more than all the near-do-well hangers-on that were more than happy to show up well after RMS established the movement to try and co-opt it for their own agendas.

Movements like this do need someone that can rule with an iron fist and maintain the core principles and save them from dilution. Again for his personality faults, Linux would not be near the force it is today if Linus didn't rule the kernel with an iron fist.

Is that going to rub some people the wrong way? I'd hope so - because if you aren't at least pissing a few people off then you really aren't accomplishing anything.

I dunno where we seem to have allowed our greater society expect that we should be able to go through life without being offended. Aside from being completely unrealistic and going against literally millennia of the human condition, if that was ever accomplished this would be the most boring planet in the universe to live on. No thanks!

As others have commented, the bigger issue that there doesn't seem to be anyone with a fraction of RMS's zeal for purity around the free software movement and without someone to be that torch bearer and standards enforcer if the "community" ends up ruling then free software will get watered down with so much crap it will cease to exist but in name only.

In trying to accommodate all you will please no one. Again this principal is as old as recorded history but newer generations think this time they have the magic key that their predecessors were just too dumb to grasp and this time it will be different. Ha!
