It's interesting Substack is getting the blame here rather than 1Password.

Ultimately, though, I think it's two separate systems doing the best they can to work together, and failing. Payments should be handled by the browser, like how mobile phones do it. I loathe giving Google or Apple more power/control, but this is a situation where I'm still genuinely shocked how rudimentary payments online are.
I think this data will only lead to results orientated thinking, where we ignore all the other sources we know possibly could have caused it. Heavily financing research into finding the exact source provides no benefit I can find, and could cause further harm.
Up-to-date data is hard to come by, especially for China I couldn‘t find much concrete.

Russia (based on an article from March 7th: https://www.google.de/amp/s/abcnews.go.com/amp/Business/wire...) had vaccinated 4 million people domestically and exported 2.5 million doses to Argentina, 325k to Hungary and 200k to Mexico. There have been many other other exports reported but most without a concrete number.

For China, one data point is that the Most Chile‘s 5 million vaccinations were with Chinese vaccine. (Source: https://www.google.de/amp/s/www.vox.com/platform/amp/2230962...)

> Your point about the vaccine being supplied to other countries is certainly well taken - but the idea that the U.S. and U.K. won't be supplying vaccines (Vaccine Diplomacy) to buy influence as well or in counter moves to Russian and Chinese influence would be naive.

I‘m sure they will. But not before elate summer. And, to exaggerate, people won‘t forget if their grandma died of COVID while college kids were vaccinated in the US.
They had the feeling lucky button because the chance the answer you wanted was ranked #1 was significant.
The cricket is probably about 3-5cm long. That type of spider is very, very common in Australian gardens and varies a lot in size (presumably as they grow, and not as sub-species). The larger ones would be about the same size as the cricket. The ones in the photo are likely younger.

If you go out with a headlamp at night, you will see dozens of these spiders with their eyes shining back at you.

When gardening, I encounter them constantly (almost every minute when digging over soil) but they tend to run away or stay clear and are never concerning.
A lot of time I get my answer in the “people also ask”section of the google search result. The section has exactly the paragraph with the relevant information. Maybe, search results are getting better?
Imagine if there were more used car sales salespeople than there were used cars.

That's what a "realtor" is BTW: A used house salesman.
Also, it produces binaries (probably similar to golang) which are a reasonable size considering there is a garbage collector. No giant interpretors or VMs required.

And macros.
I agree with all of that.

However the fact that all of the Chinese supporting votes showed up at once, and then the others show up slowly is supportive of a group of people working together.
XAML (WPF, Silverlight, UWP, WinUI) is the best I’ve used.
...either bail out tenants or landlords and banks.

Not quite. This crisis will be handled just like the last one. No tenants, homeowners, or landlords will be bailed out. That they go bankrupt and have their property repossessed is the whole point of the exercise. Big lenders will get the bailout on top of the collateral.
I'm in the same boat.

Initially, I was skeptical of all the reports about how frequently the issue was happening, and I was starting to believe that it was just hysterics by the anti-Apple crowd. But it was eventually just a matter of time.

First my personal laptop had issues, and I was thankfully able to take advantage of the free keyboard replacement. Then my work laptop began experiencing the same issue, and it's gotten so bad that I had to connect an external keyboard in order to be able to login because I have no way to see which characters are getting screwed up as I type my password.

I keep meaning to take it to the Apple store, but the latest estimates are 5 to 7 days to replace the keyboard and I haven't yet had the opportunity to be without my work machine for that long.
Hunting comes in two parts, finding the animal and killing it (or catching). Better weapons make the kill easier and safer for the hunter but most of a hunter's day will still be spent finding and getting close to the animal. So i would not expect a major impact on net animals harvested until the advent of ranged weapons which could reduce stalking times.
Honestly I wish they would just go public. I'd invest at IPO and start paying for Nitro if they did. There's no need for them to get bought by one of the big companies to be a successful company providing a ton of value. I think there is a reasonable path to profitability and long term sustainability, especially if they move into providing premium server features that official servers for games, run by the companies themselves, can use.

That said, if it's gonna be one of the big tech firms, I'd prefer Microsoft, personally. I see them as a lesser of evils in today's landscape.
Public Figure Doctrine in the US. According to it, if you are a public figure libel and defamation have much higher burden's of proof whereas if you aren't a public figure you don't. And there are concepts like "Limited Purpose Public Figure" (as distinct from 'all purpose public figures'). All purpose public figures- people who are in "positions of such persuasive power and influence that they are deemed public figure for all purposes"- like movie stars, sports stars, and politicians, have essentially an impossible time winning any court case bringing libel or defamation (they need to prove "actual malice" on the part of the person doing the defamation). LPPF's are people who make themselves public figures on a single controversy or issue, and have a hard time proving defamation on that topic, but are still private citizens for other purposes. Say, an otherwise unremarkable person who is the named defendant in a Supreme Court case- for the issue that went before the Supreme Court they will have a hard time proving defamation but in terms of the rest of their life they have the same protections that anyone else holds, and a lower burden of proof for damages.

All of this was worked out in the 1960's and 1970's, and I don't keep up on it so I'm not sure how courts have mapped Limited Purpose Public Figures onto modern social media: is an Instagram influencer a LPPF or a all-purpose public figure or a regular person?
In particular, when the wage is low enough you have slavery in all but name. People working for your shitty pay staying in your shitty dormitory eating your shitty food because they can't afford not. The end result people leaving when visas run out with more debt, and headlines about people forced to pick fruit in bikinis and allegations of sexual assault, because that happens when some people gain that sort of power.
I don't find this argument convincing:
"This is fusion."
"It can't be fusion. We've got a pretty good understanding of how fusion works, and this is missing some key features. Notably, neutron flux consistent with the claimed heat."
"This is a special kind of fusion that doesn't have any of the features your theory describes."
"Ok. What's the theory that describes this result then?"
<Waves vaguely at beaker of warm water> "I don't need a theory, it's been experimentally proven!"

As well call start calling a campfire "forest fusion" and offer to sell me the patent.
I found this:

> My understanding of the rule that has emerged from prior decisions is that there is a twofold requirement, first that a person have exhibited an actual (subjective) expectation of privacy and, second, that the expectation be one that society is prepared to recognize as "reasonable."

Once you realize that the word "realtor" is a contrived cover for "used house salesman", you suddenly have a much better understanding of how things work in the housing market.
That would certainly be the most likely kind of lab-based hypothesis. Especially considering the overt flouting of rules people engage in for other kinds of animal research, in the rush to compete for results and publications.

But it would still result in heads rolling and a constant stream of embarrassing revelations. Consider the Fukushima investigation. Every revelation of bad process and ignored warnings is another news cycle with everyone outraged at them. "Bad luck" is something you are not forgiven for if there's any negligence to point at.

You don't get cash back bonuses with a pre-paid card. In fact, they cost money. I am not going to give up saving 3% on everything I buy just to avoid this rare error that was easily corrected for no lost money.
Yeah, you can thank the modern versions of Carlton Sheets peddling their "courses" on BiggerPockets, YouTube, etc. It's the same as it ever was: desperate people wanting desperately to get rich and going after anything that seems like it might help.
Every single other website I've purchased from has a "confirm your order" page. Instantly charging the customer's card after submitting the payment form is a headache for both customers and merchants, because it's easy to make mistakes.

Even under normal circumstances, the institution cares little for their rehabilitation, and now they are under atrocious conditions such as these. Many psychologists consider solitary confinement to be a form of torture, but as we know, in covid times that no longer matters.
Old houses in the US come with a lot of costs. They're usually poorly insulated, need to be brought up to code when renovations are performed, can have electrical and plumbing systems that need to be replaced in their entirety, and sometimes are just hard to insure in general (insurers can cancel your homeowners policy on any home in Florida over 40 years old at their discretion when your policy comes up for renewal). House has lead and asbestos? Remediation can be costly depending on your jurisdiction's requirements. This is less of a concern in highly desirable areas, as well to do buyers will buy for the land alone, demolish the property, and build new.

Disclosure: I renovate homes as a hobby, and occasionally demo those beyond repair. Most recent project was an older duplex in Naperville, IL torn down to replace with a modern three flat.

> We need less opinion in our news diet not more.

There still are such news sources -- The Economist, Reuters, AP, etc., rarely editorialize their articles. Most other mainstream news sources like NYT, WSJ, etc., are just as clickbaity and cater to a specific demographic of the society just like Substack writers do. So I don't see it as a loss for journalism if people stopped subscribing to, say The Guardian, and instead supported a Substack writer.

Speaking from personal experience -- over about six years at this point -- there are many, many web sites on the internets that 1Password's autofill works perfectly well on, and many others where it doesn't work perfectly but fails gracefully (or at least non-destructively). "Here is one site where it makes a mistake that could be catastrophic if you don't catch it" is just not a slam-dunk proof of 1Password being "poorly designed."

There are a lot of companies I am pretty anti, to be fair. Find me say one nice thing about Facebook. Or Tesla.

I would say in the case of big tech companies, I am concerned the standard playbook is no longer viable. They often are more powerful than the countries that would regulate them, and they use threats and market manipulation to overpower nation states. There are now multiple examples where a company has used withdrawal or suspension of services to force a country to undo or roll back a law, or where a company has outright bought a political measure that repeals legislated protections for individuals.

The sole place sovereign nations still have the upper hand is arguably physical force. I think we need to start looking at some of these companies as organized crime, not civil violators.
Touchbar is useless without BetterTouchTool for me.

I have buttons to open notes files, open my jira with tap, a strip with scrollable weather, screenshot buttons, automated settings control (like the security screen) and finger gestures.

Swipe left and right with 2 fingers for volume control, 3 for brightness, 4 for keyboard backlight. It feels so smooth and natural to change the volume that way.

It can do a ton though. best 7 bucks I've spent, and makes me want a touchbar on all my laptops from now own, surprisingly.
Given the resources available, I don't think they can make the product better and maintain compatibility for long. Given the previous decade+ of minimal enhancement to the point where it's now just the tiniest fraction of email users, standing still is a guaranteed death sentence.

The difference is appreciation. Otherwise owning is probably 150% the cost of renting in SF. And with rent control you don’t have the issue of rent going up.
Just doing what WaPo does best
Because we as a society have decided that children are not capable of making informed decisions, so parents get to decide for them on many/most/all things (the number of which tends to decrease with age, zeroing out at 18 or whatever the local age of majority is). You may not agree with that state of affairs, but that is the reality of the situation.

You may not see the useful function of the Santa Claus fantasy[0], but it is not your (or my) place to decide that for a child or their parents.

Let's try with something a bit less trivial, something that my young nephew had to deal with not too long ago: death. One day kid realizes that grandpa hasn't visited in a long while, and ask parent what's up. Parents don't think kid is emotionally ready to have the death talk. So they spin a story about grandpa having to move away, and how grandpa loves his grandkid very much, but won't be able to visit anymore. And let's say you're over visiting your friend, and their kid walks up to you and says "my grandpa had to move far away and I miss him... do you know why he can't visit me?" You know that your friend's father died recently. If your answer isn't "well, what did your parents say?" followed by affirming whatever the answer is, you've probably done a bit of harm to that child's emotional well being, and likely have introduced some trust issues between the child and parents. What right do you have to do that? I would not be surprised if your friend stops inviting you over after that.

Don't get me wrong; I think many decisions parents make for their kids probably aren't the best ones. There's no authoritative parenting handbook, and most parents do the best they can. But it is not anyone else's place to "correct" someone's parenting decisions, outside of active harm and neglect. (And no, telling a lie about Santa Claus or death does not clear that bar.)

[0] Personally I'm not a big fan of it myself; while Santa Claus can be a useful tool to help a child's imagination develop, I really dislike how tied Christmas has become to consumer culture and materialism.

Magically his opinion about being a wage slave changes the moment he realizes he needs money.

Amazing insight here.

The limitation to lambdas is just the single expression, but the same limitation exists for comprehensions. Comprehensions aren’t particularly readable beyond one loop and a condition or so (I say this begrudgingly as someone who likes to craft complex comprehensions). Beyond that for loops are encouraged, not filter() and friends, which suggests that they are perhaps not as amazing as some in this thread suggest.

That's been my impression too fwiw. There's now a large segment of people who are primed to immediately accept the conspiracy theory over the Hanlon's Razor principle:

In the sporting world, the disgruntled employee just implies that they aren't or won't play to their ability, and the team quickly looks to move them on. Of course, the club is generally getting something back in the form of a trade however.
You’ll still know the site sending traffic your way, but not the exact page or query. For most affiliates that’s fine and sites like HN could set the Referrer-Policy header to allow sending page-level details since they know that they don’t include anything sensitive.

What the changed default does is mean that things fail safely when someone doesn’t think about this at all and builds a site with sensitive info in the URL. In that case, outbound link targets might receive things like usernames or email addresses, information in URL path components, etc. which isn’t intended to be public. Those sites are often poorly supported so the default changing means that the work shifts to a fraction of the web community which is best prepared to deal with the trivial extra work required to set a policy.

> "its very hard to even guage what the hn opinion is to begin with"

Not sure how to square this with the fact you're saying HN collectively gets it wrong. Either you can't even determine what it is they're getting wrong or you're exceptionally good at gauging what the HN opinion is. Because of your quote, I'll assume you're not accurately gauging what HN's majority opinion is on issues, because it's "very hard." I spend a lot of time here and don't think it's difficult at all. While there's a lot of debate and disagreement, most issues have fairly clear >2/3 majorities.

Classically liberal, anti-trumpism, climate change urgently needs addressing, anti-BigTech, static typing, Rust/Go > Java/C#, anti-CCP, anti-surveillance, pro-encryption / pro-privacy, pro-fasting, pro-lifting, decriminalize drug use, pro-rationalist, crypto mostly snake oil, more Twitter use/discussion than IG/Snap/TikTok though it's less popular, etc.
Mock me if you wish, but I tend to use 1Password for what it does best but use Apple’s Autofill for credit cards. It misses stuff sometimes but -fingers crossed - no issues with mis population into amount fields. I also use ApplePay or PayPal wherever possible to avoid data entry and reduce friction.

This article points out that a lab outbreak could have happened in the United States and many places in the world.

In general, yes. In this case, no so much.

The feart that it could happen here is why the USA restricted gain of function research in 2014. And only reopened it in 2017 with stricter safety controls.

If China had made the same policy decisions, would COVID-19 have become much less likely? That's an important question to answer. Whether or not it DID happen that way, as a planet we need a more consistent way to evaluate such risks.
This is a good call.

The problem with wrong abstractions, though, is that they do not work, especially when you make the next step on the roadmap.

I would say that clear, testable, evolvable code with little abstraction may be fine. OTOH boilerplate and copy-paste prevents easy or well-controlled evolution. The abstractions end up inlined and fused in the code, instead of being made visible, and become easy to miss a case when a concerted change is needed.
