They have no clue how to fix performance issues. These performance issue have been there for multiple years and users have been asking them to fix these. Instead, their core competency seems to be hire people to advertize and post "thank you" and "we are here to address your issues" kind of messages here at HN. They have a whole army of those users here (you can check past HN threads related to gitlab).
That's true. I don't expect them to allow Pfizer to export vaccine until they have though.

Visa and borders won't stop capable people from migrating out of the country that you are amusingly planning to fix by isolation. It didn't before you joined the bloc, it won't after you "deconstruct the EU" — and you know it well.

As long as you have precisely pinpointed the issue with supplying EP with incompetent MEPs (a common problem among most members of the bloc today, arguably including the appointment of Ursula von der Leyen), you've resorted to a completely destructive resolution of deconstructing the EU. As a punishment for the failures of your homeland, I suppose? "Bad EU did it, not our fault" is such a common trope among local politicians (hallo Österreich[1] from the latest news) and some citizens.

The solution is in fixing your domestic politics, not dragging your capable citizens and fellow European neighbors down. It's solely thanks to the European Union's common approach[2] that the small/poor members of the bloc have truly equal access to vaccines. Otherwise small countries would have never been able to outbid rich Germany, France, UK, Netherlands and other power states on the free market. As you understand, there are no benefits for Germany, France et al. in this collective decision, they're literally paying with the lives of their citizens for the idea of the EU. A little gratitude.

By being in the same boat, we will together overcome pandemic, poverty and political incompetence. You're free to disagree, just don't pretend that your local brexit will go swimmingly — it isn't rosy even for such a developed country as the UK.

I don't doubt the story, but if the expiry year was in the wrong field, why did the payment go through?

Did 1Password fill in the year twice? That would be a huge bug. Or will a fraud detection system ignore the missing year if everything else is fine?
The whole argument is based on a false dichotomy between having the vaccine or not having the vaccine. When really it is a choice between have vaccine (possible side effects) or get covid (definite well documented effects). They should explain the decisions in those terms.
We do not have the vaccines because of the EU. Companies in those countries are involved in the process of creating and manufacturing the vaccine.

The EU as a body didn't set any of that up.

The highest vaccination rate of any EU country is Hungry with about half of the US's rate which in turn is a bit behind the UK[1].

In light of this, I am curious how you see EMA making it easier for pharma. Is there an underlying issue that I a missing?

I don't know anything about it, but from the Des Moines Register, it seems like a lot of people felt there was a miscarriage of justice:

"There was false testimony and willful manipulation, and that makes this a shocking case of prosecutorial misconduct."

"An unprecedented letter, recently sent to Kevin Techau, U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Iowa, signed by 107 former high level Department of Justice officials, FBI directors, federal judges and prestigious law professors attests to the extraordinary prosecutorial misconduct which exacted the most possible punitive sentence for Rubashkin"

...that’s striking evidence that earlier Middle Pleistocene hominins had achieved the ability to efficiently hunt prey species in the proportions that made ecological sense for them. The fact that later hominins selected the same prey sizes suggests that this aspect of hominin hunting was near equilibrium regardless of the precise toolkits they used.

This makes sense phylogeneticly. Chimpanzees also hunt prey of various sizes.

We rate limit accounts when they post too many low-quality comments too quickly and/or get involved in flamewars. We're happy to take the rate limit off if people give us reason to believe that they understand the site guidelines and sincerely want to use HN in the intended spirit. But it's best to email hn@ycombinator.com and ask us to look into it.

I realize it's annoying to be rate limited, but it's one of the few (crude) software tools we have to try to put off the descent of the forum into flamewar, so dropping the mechanism isn't really an option.

You can call it the China virus if you want. You can't be cited or sued for doing so. But most people prefer to avoid terms that can reasonably be linked to harassment and violence against minorities.

Your argument also assumes that there is some need to inform people of the origin of COVID-19. There is not. We all know it originated in China and most people now even know the name of China's 9th largest city.
Because that one input had the word "year" in it. 1password confused "expiration year" for "$ / year".

It's a good bug.

Both substack and 1password are responsible to some degree, and it will be figured out, though I think 1password has more obligation to take action because it can happen with other websites too.

For me the biggest deal breaker is that the laws come out of nowhere. Suddenly there is policy, then vote and then implementation. If you don't like the proposed laws you cannot vote down people who proposed it. Then when it comes to vote of parliament is often too late. Most MEP don't even know what they vote anyway (watch any session, it's eye opening). I don't know how anyone can stand for it and defend it.
You have to follow the link title "filed in 2018" to get the full description of the lawsuit. It says:

> Apple is accused of, among other things, violating California's Unfair Competition Law and Consumer Legal Remedies Act, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, and breach of express warranty.

I certainly don't know enough about the law to comment on whether they're actually in violation of anything there. But as a complete layperson the argument "Apple knowingly sold keyboards that broke unreasonably quickly, and took a weirdly long time to change that" is persuasive under some vague sense that products should be suitable for reasonable use.

I think it's great that you can declare types optionally, but I think they are allowed for a different reason: documentation and explicitness.

I would like Crystal compiler to take into account such definitions and speed up somehow. I know I am talking without experience, I just feel that coming from Ruby to Rust, declaring types on function definitions is not that much of a hassle.
I don't trust autofill in what I use, either, Firefox or Keepass.

What Technical Theatre Taught Me About Building Creative Technology Solutions
"Should"? I don't know. Anecdotally, I've been reading The New Paper[1] for a year or so now. They're concise, factual, and convenient, with extremely little (if any) bias. Their downsides are that they don't do any original reporting (they usually link to Reuters and AP articles) and that they don't cover that much stuff.

Depending on how you define "media sources", TNP's lack of original reporting may disqualify them, but you may want to check them out anyway.

> First, Substack is going to have a serious problem retaining its most profitable writers unless it substantially reduces its 10% take.

This is the part I'm having trouble understanding. 10% doesn't seem like a high percentage for a distributor, even if they're just hosting text and images. Of course Substack also provides comments, notifications, admin/moderation, and some degree of marketing and aggregation effects (not Aggregation in the strict Ben Thompson sense, just people going to a well-known website because they know there are things to read there).

None of that is super hard to set up, but If I was Matthew Yglesias, and I was making $775k next year on Substack, how much incentive would I have to leave and pay someone to create and/or manage a new site for me? Even assuming there's no lock-in whatsoever from Substack, or that Substack does not increase its value proposition for content creators by then, it seems like I'd probably just stay where I was and collect my $700k, and be pretty thrilled about it.

It's possible I'm wrong about that in some cases, but would it happen in so many cases that it poses an existential risk to Substack? Seems like a stretch!

This isn't about the Linux desktop; it's about how it's not a good idea to spend thousands of hours of effort supporting the latest software (e.g. Wayland) on 15-20 year old hardware.

It is exotic to claim that the virus was engineered by humans, but that is not what this article (or myself) are claiming. Just that there is a lab outbreak.

Researchers have gone to a particular region of China and otherwise gone to great effort to find these particular bat viruses. I agree it is possible that they could be ignorant of the fact that the virus is in their own backyard. But it must a lower probability event that people got infected by such city bats given that we already know for certain the labs were transporting the bat viruses directly. Additionally, I would be surprised if they have not been testing nearby bats for such viruses since the outbreak happened. If they got a match it would be highly publicized.

That's a key (unfortunate) insight. Sometimes the only way to fix burnout is to step back and just not do what you were doing for a while, sometimes a long while. Employers usually won't be ok with that, though :(

And yeah, totally get that interviewing while being burned out is really hard too.

Best of luck to you. I really hope you manage to figure things out. The important thing is that you know there's a problem, and you're taking steps to try to fix it. Even if that process is not easy, things will get better.
WSL2 is basically the same as WSL1 for the comparison you're making, though the upcoming GUI stuff will mean that you don't have to fiddle with the X server, it'll "just work".

The main difference I encounter between WSL1 and WSL2 is that accessing files across the OS divide happens through a networked filesystem instead of a natively shared filesystem, so it's not as seamless/performant, but the upside is much better filesystem performance when it's Linux doing Linux things. Which I'm happy about when it comes to containers. (I run both WSL1 and WSL2 on different computers.)

Docker for Windows also now has WSL integration so that you can launch Linux containers directly into WSL. I don't think it's configured by default just because you have to choose to install WSL, but once you've flipped the requisite switches it's seamless.

Planning of invention 2: lessons from Sidewinder and China Lake
The reasoning wouldn't be how many people died of the virus vs. how many in a world war; it would be how many people die in a world war vs. how many might die if the adversary does increasingly worse things going forward. The threshold for fighting all-out can't be "as soon as the adversary does".

It’s not “hidden” in the HTML form sense. It’s an input that is not styled as an obvious input field. The idea here is that if you want to, you can give the author more money as a “founding member”. You can the set the amount you’d like to give.

It is visible to the user, but it isn’t obvious that this is an adjustable value at all (at least on mobile). There are a number of UX issues at play here... but a poorly styled input isn’t an excuse for the password manager.
Sorry, I meant to say: Because the EU allows vaccines to be exported. The EU could in theory stop all exports which is what the US has done.
Aneutronic fusion exists. Neutrons were expected by some because normal fusion produces them ... but if it is cold fusion, there's no reason to believe that would happen. Indeed, you should throw out as many expectations as you possibly can if you're dealing with a new process.

The first and best measurement to contemplate is the presence of helium. Of course, you have to worry about how much is in the atmosphere, and then how much might somehow be trapped in the bulk material of the apparatus itself. Still, a sudden surge of helium well beyond that of what might be found in the atmosphere would be telling.

We all remember calorimetry from high school and just how difficult it was to do proper measurements. And who knows what odd chemical reactions might release or subtract heat when you sit around cooking metal for a long period of time? No, calorimetry is error-prone and has too many miserable confounding factors.

Still, the only way to know you have fusion is to say "I have less of this lighter element and more of this heavier element." Everything is is just hoping that the assumptions from stellar fusion carry over. I'll believe it when I see it, but I also won't believe it until the accompanying papers talk about helium, and lots of it (or lithium ...).

3. top-of-the-line HW ~1500 Euros with linux where I'll have to babysit and troubleshoot every time OS upgrades

What criteria determine "top of the line"? "Top of the line" for what, exactly? To reduce that question to the absolute absurd, "What laptop is 'top of the line' for deep sea fishing?"

My criteria for the best Linux laptop is "What peripheral chips and components are best suited to current Linux driver code?". Incidentally, have you ever tried to install vanilla Windows on a HP laptop? It'll take you days to track down all of the various drivers needed for all of those wierd and wonderful and quirky peripheral chips, that HP buys cheaply in bulk, just to get it working with any reasonable usefulness. (Which is just one of the reasons why HP laptops are on my "Never, ever buy one of these" list.)

In my own case, I buy Lenovo laptops with Intel peripheral chips. I have a ten-year-old T410 which still works well with Linux, although I replaced it about six months back with a Lenovo P53.

With both of these laptops, I can install a flawless Linux distro within about 30 minutes. Recovering Windows on these same machines takes literally hours.

Yes, password managers are way safer than copy-pasting. You don't want something as sensitive as a password in your clipboard buffer, either.
It's a bit harder than that. 2D Barcodes, Data Matrices, QR Codes, all explicitly have a lot of redundancy built in for resilient error correction. A chip has none of that, it's designed to do its electrical work sitting in a package forever, not to be looked at by anything or anyone.

And then you have separate layers with vastly different physical (and photographic) properties, and the answers to any questions is often in how they interact...
> But people are not getting irate customer phone calls or losing revenue because of product downtime due to this.

It could be an indirect cause of irate calls because there’s a bug in production but the dev environment is broken by Docker’s auto-update so the devs can’t work on a fix for the production bug.

> Linux containers with LXD doesn't fit the need?

It might do, I haven’t had the time to investigate. It was 3-4 years ago when I had to make the decision. I remember there was some open source tools mentioned on some websites, but I certainly didn’t get the impression it was very easy to get it working.

I guess that was the appeal of Docker, they had done all the difficult part and created a product. But then it’s the ‘all eggs in one basket problem’, and other stuff you mentioned like the signing up for accounts etc.

I had so many other things to learn and build at the time, that the extra complication of containers didn’t make sense.

If I was in a situation where I was building out a fresh site I would for sure give LXD another look.
Whoa. That's absolutely insane. And yet now that someone has demonstrated it I can see this turning into a dark pattern that a variety of less scrupulous sites will use in the foreseeable future.
