Several apps have been shipped based on Pythonista, including games. The developer released an Xcode template, you drop your Python code into it and build an app from it. Pyto is open source, once you have a working app developed on-device you can just pull Pyto from Github and add your code to build an app the same way, but it's not as complete as Pythonista.

There are non-python dev environments that enable the same thing, like Codea that uses Lua. It has several published apps and games out there on the App Store as well.
While definitely not "superior" in every way, it was more precise also with a finger (at least on the n900; other devices had worse quality resistive screens).
So you for example could draw or hit small buttons much more easily.

For capacitive screens you instead have to add another digitizer layer by wacom or n-trig to be able to draw, which took a while and still is not common enough.
That said, bad quality resistive screens were much, much more frustrating to use than bad capacitive screen.
I'm not personally against usage of drones in some totally general way, but we should keep in mind why the Bush to Obama shift was made. Aside from the technology simply maturing and growing more viable, we went away from having teams of special operators apprehend terrorism suspects in surgical snatch and grab operations and toward just murdering them with drones for two basic reasons.

One, surgical snatch and grab operations sometimes result in high profile failures where US operators are themselves captured or die in the process, which becomes a huge local media sensation. Two, when you arrest people, you run into the issue of what to do with them. Hence, all of the continuing problems with Guantanamo. Do you give them rights? Transfer them to regular prisons? Release them? Hold an actual trial at some point? We still haven't figured it out, and the easiest answer is just stop arresting people and kill them instead.

I leave it to you to decide which of the two options is more ethical, but the reasons we did it have nothing to do with ethics. And drones are inherently less precise and also kill whoever happens to be nearby a lot more often than Seal Team Six.
40 cases of blood clots (and 0 confirmed deaths) in 17 million

538K confirmed deaths in 328 million (the US population)

They really aren't comparable.

EDIT: see replies below for details about deaths connected to the clots. I take that back. But my general point still stands, COVID is far, far more dangerous than the vaccine.
Which is ironic given that current Go compilers still generate slower code, and lack the GC knobs for performance tuning.

Nothing gets my dog moving like when the three year old grabs the food scoop and heads to the garage.
The desktop[1] and mobile clients have a local database, so if the server is offline, you still have all of your data, you just can't sync.

[1]: Note that the Bitwarden desktop client has a major remote code execution vulnerability that the developer has closed WONTFIX, so I don't recommend running the stock one without patching that out (as well as the spyware they embed in it).
You sacrifice too much even if you could attain privacy through your own effort (which I very much doubt). Without laws to protect citizens, privacy is a pipe-dream simply because people aren't willing to give up what comes with giving up their privacy.

I remember the no Wi-fi. It was shocking, but made perfect sense from BB's perspective. These were work devices after all, and your precious data was expected to be routed through an encrypted BES server that would also compress packet contents to save bandwidth.

But it did have apps. Just not many. I remember downloading Pandora, Shazam and Whatsapp from the Blackberry App store. Android and iOS stores obviously dwarfed it in terms of quantity though.

Yeah, very sad - I was a little surprised that Top Gear didn't make a little more use of her over the years after that famous item; as an occasional guest presence she would have been a nice (and amusing) ego-deflating counterpoint to the very blokey, British energy.
Do remember that this expert is the person the premier Norwegian hospital picked as their spokesman for their press conference on this.
So in essence what he says is the opinion of the Norwegian health care system, not just his own, about these cases.
This isn't some random expert, giving an of the cuff opinion.
> That's literally how the non-digital art market works, as well.

Though there's a fraction of the non-digital art market that doesn't work like that. For NFTs, I wouldn't be surprised if "painting the tape" was pretty much the whole thing.
I switched to using this because keepass didn’t have a good way of syncing its database with iOS devices, and the official bitwarden server has too many moving parts (including MS-SQL with no support for open source databases??) - aside from missing ssh-agent support, I’m loving all of it :)
Java being big in HFT is an accident of history, not due to sound engineering choices.
You self-host it. The data is going to your own server.
Its first class these days. You have native linux powershell, sql server, .net 5 (which is 4th linux/core version), vscode/rider or use visual studio with windows subsystem for linux.
The official Bitwarden server depends on MSSQL.
Time will tell, but I'd put my money on a lot of undiscovered cases in Europe and the UK. Vaccinations have mostly been in elderly people who are at high risk of health complications anyway, it's only recently that younger populations started receiving the vaccine. And Norway is among the most paranoid of these countries, with good health data and monitoring.

Norway has also had at least three serious cases with 130.000 people vaccinated, so the incidence is certainly higher than 1 per 2.3 million.

At this point, with a plausible mechanism of action being discovered, it's either that or a "bad batch". But this doesn't seem like the kind of problem that would likely be caused by contamination or bad ingredients, and there's been enough time by now that the batch numbers behind the cases will have been thoroughly checked.

This will be a very tricky ethical consideration, with not only weighing different risks between different age groups, but also the public's trust in vaccines and the advice provided by health authorities.

My money says that AZ will be pulled from countries with few Covid deaths and/or other vaccine options available in the near term. And some controversy in countries that do not meet these criteria.

We have been using Chatwoot for a couple of months. Launch HN is a bit of an understatement, its already a very polished, comprehensive product. Congratulations!
I don't agree. Vaccines are about group immunity. The disease is pretty harmless to young people. We are vaccinated them to stop the pandemic in general.

Sounds like OnlyFans with extra steps. You can have a brilliant idea but if you don't have the right PR, the icky factor will turn people off.
I could write a book on the missteps that killed applets. The idea of applets was great and very forward-thinking - self-contained pieces of functionality to provide UI that HTML couldn't. Web Components are a similar idea 20 years later.

And Java was a good bedrock to build applets on - a safe language that runs everywhere in a VM.

But the implementation was terrible - let me count the ways:

* Performance was awful. Java applets performed OK (and sometimes excellently if you put the work in) once they got started but the initial start-up cost of standing the VM was just woeful. Your browser would freeze for 10-20 seconds while MBs of JVM were slowly loaded and JIT'ed. People started to avoid sites with applets for this reason. Sun never even tried to fix it, and in fact told people it was for their own good because your CPU might have changed since last time the Applet was loaded.

* The GUIs were ugly. People back then complained endlessly about the Applets looking non-standard, which was true. Big a far bigger problem was that they were just hideous. Poor default fonts (and bad font rendering), bad default colors, bad fit-and-finish. Sure you could spend time making everything look nice, but it was a huge effort. Sun did try to fix this but with limited success.

* Security. The original idea was good - perfectly sandboxed executables. But Sun fell to the pressure from people who should have known better to provide ways of calling out to native DLLs. This was a terrible idea and was the source of many, many security problems. Browsers were wise to disable applets entirely.

* Failure to respond to competition. People wanted video on the web and tried to use Java, but the Java graphics stack was pretty slow for that kind of thing. Flash came along with its bad but usable codec built in and everyone jumped ship. A missed opportunity.

If Sun had fixed these problems I might be typing this comment into a Java Applet text control with formatting and spell-checking right now.
Note also that the bitwarden desktop app has a remote code execution vulnerability that the developers refuse to fix, which means that the developers can, at any time, replace your local copy of the bitwarden desktop app with a different version that could steal all your passwords in exactly the manner you describe.

You can patch the bitwarden client (and also take the opportunity to remove the spyware they have embedded in it, as well), or use a program like LuLu or Little Snitch to block it from communicating with anything but your own selfhosted bitwarden_rs instance.

The use case is isolation, which is not necessarily exactly the same as reducing access.

For example, maybe you don't want the process to be able to easily detect that it has had its access reduced, by simulating a full-access environment.

Or for example, maybe you don't care about access at all and you just want to avoid conflicts between two processes by giving them separated namespaces for their data.
That's a specialized version of the question, is it really evil to kill evil people? But it's also a bit off-topic; the more important one is, are only evil people getting killed by drone strikes executed by people who (claim to) try to kill only evil people? The answer to that is a resounding no. We can debate the specifics of this, but it wasn't my point.

My point was, the concept of layers of indirection making perpetrating evil/immoral acts easier is a well-recognized one[0], and drone strikes are the usual example - the killer has no personal risk, and the act itself involves operating video game controllers while watching a low-resolution image of distant events. And, for many practical reasons, this has been embraced by the military. Cheaper, less trauma for soldiers, less bad press, less likely the soldier will hesitate or spare the lives of their targets.

And thus I'm asking: if that works so well for killing, and there isn't a big pushback against this[1], then why criticize the case where the similar levels of detachment are making people more likely to do good deeds? If people are more likely to donate to good causes further away than they are to those close to them, then why not be just happy that more people are donating to good causes?

>If someone says that "We in group X have it as bad as the Jews did in Nazi Germany", that doesn't really sound antisemitic to me.

I'll note that what Carano did was actually weaker - she just said that tribal hatred motivated the persecution of Jews and that tribal hatred was also leading to the persecution of Republicans. Her critics were more than happy to prove her correct.

She never claimed that Republicans were being treated as poorly as Jews in Nazi Germany, just that the ugly impulses that lead to one sort of persecution were also motivating another. The most-repugnant part of her cancellation is the implicit double-standard wherein progressives are claiming cultural ownership of Nazi/Holocaust metaphors - when they use them to describe Republicans it's fine, but when Republicans try to create analogies it's presumptively anti-Semitic since it denigrates the horrors of the Holocaust.

Are you assuming that the sunlight needs to directly power the car?

The idea, and especially with the car in the article here, is that your car can charge over the course of a few days.

The power for electric cars is delivered from the battery. The Chevy Bolt for example has a 60kwh battery. If you have 1kw of solar, it will take you 60 hours of sunlight to charge that battery assuming the efficiency of those cells is close to what they're rated for.

The car from the article has a 35kwh battery so around 35 hours of sunlight to fully charge on 1kw of solar. If I drive ~100 miles in the city every week, and the car from the article gets the claimed 200-220w/m2 of solar - It's definitely feasible to recoup your entire driving usage by it just basking in the sun when you aren't using it.
I'm fully for that. And when we find out that a hard lockdown would have saved hundreds of thousands of lives, I hope we'll also have the guts to lock up the people who advocated against it, simply to further political goals. And try them for murder.

Yet the majority of the population are not at risk for significant health complications from COVID. The question remains if the blood clot causing demographics overlap with those at risk for serious COVID cases.

40 out of 17 million is 0.0002%. Surely 0.0002% of any cohort go on to develop blood clots? I'd certainly pick those odds over being unvaccinated.

3 have had the immune response in about 120.000 vaccinated with AstraZeneca. That's too small a sample to really conclude anything, but as far as Norway is concerned it might be a 1:40000 risk.
Gold stores $10 trillion. If only half of that moved to Bitcoin, a Bitcoin would be worth a quarter million.

Housing is sometimes a store of value. Bitcoin is probably more liquid, and way less of a hassle than some housing. Expect some of that to move over.

Fine art is primarily a store of value. A lot of it sits in airport warehouses. Bitcoin is just as scarce, but much more convenient.

Stocks are certainly being used as stores of value for many people. At some point, Bitcoin will become more reliable than index funds.

Idk much about bonds, but I'm sure some of that will flow to Bitcoin, as bonds become a less attractive investment.

I'm fine with the idea of a species -- or whatever definition you want to use here -- expanding beyond one solar system. But without at least faster-than-light communication, I don't think it would be possible to maintain a cohesive civilization at that scale. And without faster-than-light travel, you're also going to have things like species rings developing.

Unfortunately I suspect this is somewhat of a Pandora's box situation. There's only so much legislation can do once this technology becomes commonplace. Even in a hypothetical extreme scenario where facial recognition technology were completely banned the software would still exist and there'd still be databases of people's faces floating around the web. All legislation would do is create a situation where it's "illegal" to use software to identify people from a picture of their face even though just about everybody knows how to do so trivially and secretly.
It really complicates the operations though, which is already proving to be difficult for many countries: You have to add aspirin distribution & storage to the vaccine, which might be an issue for costs if not for the logistics of it.

More importantly, you have to manage whether the vaccinated people can take aspirin. You don't want this to be how you find out you have a different blood coagulation issue, or anything else that aspirin can affect adversely (I'm not a medical professional).
If changing a process root directory is really what you want to do then yes chroot is the right tool for the job. But from a perspective of "jailing" daemons as mentioned in the article I think unveil is a better API.

I'm not sure what pieces of software populate directories and then chroot into them aside from maybe some build systems? But those likely create or bind in some /dev and /proc pieces which would be privileged operations anyway. And in such a case would containers not have surplanted chroot?
