I totally agree with that - that it begins with education.

Cambodian education at the moment is corrupt. You bribe the educator to get into a course. You bribe the examiner to pass an exam. If your family is rich enough, you never need to even attend a class.

Changing this is not going to be possible from outside. The Khmer people will need to want to change. I don't think that's true at the moment. I hope they'll get it eventually.
My point was that this article makes no attempt to address those issues.

However, I do happen to believe there is an issue, as I outlined in a sibling comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26646676).

Statutory rape law is a trade-off because proving sexual assault is hard and we value protecting children from abusers more than we value letting people sleep with children. If you disagree with that, yes, I believe you are not suitable to hold a leadership position at any organisation that needs to protect it's contributors, some of whom will be children.
I think it would be easier to just have them look at the network tab of the developer tools of whatever web browser. It will break down requests and responses for you to easily see. I suspect a very small percentage of the web in just plain text. Most of it is encrypted, and if you ignore that, most of it is compressed, and if you ignore that HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 are not plain text.
But then you're competing with hotels nearly all of which provide complimentary food, especially since things started getting competitive for them.
It's about time. Wow.
Viruses escaping from labs are also well-established, frequently occurring incidents [1]. Both should get attention and investigative effort.

I fail to see any change in her position. In both cases she openly defend the person treated unfairly in her opinion. What is inconsistent here?
Many on the right will say the lab leak theory is definitely true and has been 'proved'. So yep, we're in this together. I'm on the right, have been all my life, but nonsense is nonsense whoever is saying it.
Ask HN: How fast you are learning a new programming language?
Despite already knowing a few programming languages, learning a new one for me is still a considerable time investment. I hear that some people could pick up a new one in a matter of 2-3 days. How fast you are learning a new programming language and what are the best practices for fast learning you are employing?
I assume that's the average death rate for healthy 30 year olds over the whole pandemic, I don't think it applies to how things were in the beginning with overrun hospitals and overworked health professionals.

I wonder if the theme of the game was also a barrier. Alcohol and guns don't mix so just the title alone may have kept people from checking it out.

Asana is useful. That’s why it’s growing.

The company continues to lose money not because the product isn’t useful, but because it’s so useful and popular that the investors choose to spend more money capturing market share than organic growth would allow.

I'd like to do this, but currently in a rental and have to use WiFi. I do use an Android smart TV and have a security camera outside. But both those devices are connected to a separate WiFi/router on a separate subnet. Hopefully my PC is safe from Android/IoT if they get hacked. Of course, anything can happen on the PC too! But at least I can monitor it better.

Once the kids get older, all that goes out the window. They'll become the security hole. Haha.

I really think fundamental problems should be solved the same way on major distros. Leave the exotic and creative ways for problems that are not fundamental or for minor distros. The feeling that you can solve fundamental problems the same way on any major distro is valuable.

It's hardly an arbitrary purity test; if you see proprietary software as immoral, and the free software movement as a moral movement, then people who release proprietary software aren't part of the free software movement. This has been the case since the ideological genesis of the movement.

You seem to be arguing in favor of the open source movement, which is a distinct one, with far different goals (rather than being a moral movement based around liberation, it's a movement based around profiteering free software).

Then why are they in the same repo as the udevd code? And why did udevd have to be pulled into the same repo as the init code when it was doing just fine outside of it?
Probably that fraud detection doesn't work well enough in some countries to make more money than you spend. AVS, for example, is only available in the US, UK, and Canada. It sucks, but for some types of services, there's an army of people trying to use stolen CC numbers.
At the time of this story they were doing a lot of agency work. They tried to start their own company and poured $10M of investment into it, VC-style.

That’s how they burned $10M, as per the title.
Flagging has been used for disagreement for a long time. Unfortunately, it seems that the number of controversial topics is steadily increasing so I wonder if flagging is still the optimal mechanism to handle it.
The things is the Wuhan lab usually publishes on new viruses they discover and this one hadn't appeared in the literature previously. Which isn't to say that a Wuhan researcher couldn't have carried it back home from a bat cave in their lungs.

Do you really though? There are a handful of major competitors and they're all acting in coercion with similar ideology. So, no you're really not free to say or read what you want without shunning big tech entirely and hoping you find some other platform they haven't stomped out yet.

If I buy a memory foam pillow from company B instead of company A then I don't want company A to know at all. If I wanted company A to know then I would tell company A why I didn't purchase its product.

Maybe it was that I didn't see company A's product. Or maybe it's because company A is a piece of garbage. Maybe it's because company A employs deceptive practices and I don't want to give company A my money.

The way HN comes down so hard against the lab leak hypothesis is spooky. Opinion about this is thrown around so heavily. Credentials: NPR listener AKA elite understander of things? The tide of understanding the origin of this virus is turning as Chinese propaganda wears thin. Many of you may recieve your comeuppance and I hope you're embarassed by your sheepishness.
I'm surprised at your surprise. What languages do you feel it's appropriate to rap in?

I think it's pretty damn weird people think Apple should probably be solving the problem of authoritarian governments around the world.

Apple isn't Superman. It's just a company selling phones and some other things. Their leverage over the legal and regulatory systems various countries is limited... a very good thing, BTW. If they had more, do you really think they would use it only for good?
The longer time-line makes a lab leak incredibly unlikely. WIV publishes data and shares it with international collaborators frequently, given the fact that every paper on bat coronaviruses from the WIV has international collaborators, how does it make sense that the sample wasn't known to anyone else in the months between the leak and detection?

Surprised by the number of snarky comments on here pointing out the obvious. "Self-hostable X" always involves some kind of compromise and people interested in self-hosting are aware of this.

The massive popularity of things like cPanel shows that there is most definitely a market for people who want some assistance setting things up, but don't want to go down a fully managed route.

I sort of think the most likely origin is that some pangolin farmer from the back end of rural Yunnan was the first host but the virus couldn't explode until someone went to bring the pangolins to market in a city with real crowds.

Every word of that seems right to me, but –

You don't seem to care if the anti-RMS petition was slander or not. Whether it was all true or all false. The person who wrote it also seems not to care. Why not?!

I read it and looked into its claims, and was very surprised that none of them seemed to actually be true. The people who signed it presumably took its truth on faith, like you seem to be doing. Either that or you and they don't care. Imagine for a second it was you being slandered in such a way. After totally transforming your field for the better, around the world!
Yea, I'm a big support of that approach.

My introduction to web programming was raw PHP and it removes any illusions about this stuff being fancy.
Oh, ok, so no actual government powers, just the ability to petition for policies that suit them, subject to competing interests having their say, with all decisions ultimately made by folks that don't work for Apple.

Just say you don't like them.
Like for many Sublime used to be the go-to editor for a slick editing experience. Easiness for people who didn't want Vim but found JetBrains too heavy. But today I'm afraid Sublime is far behind VSC as a tool to empower developer productivity, and it reminds me of Nova at this point (too late).

Also no mention of the feature that changed the face of the ecosystem — Intellisense or the language server protocol.
My sense is that there are a lot of people who literally believe the election was stolen. I don’t know how we could tell if people believe what they are saying.
Oh, no definitely not. Nope. There's no way that a company can see that you've purchased Some Things within the past 24 hours and definitely can't correlate those purchases with receipts. Nope that's not a thing. Definitely not. No way at all. Especially since companies aren't owned by parent companies. That would totally be impossible.

If people can't contribute because they are being preyed upon and abused in the community, and the leadership sees no issue with that, they can't contribute and so they are excluded.

What's up with the recent Flatpack/Snap fetish? Doesn't anybody just get their software into a distro anymore?

It is unlikely, but unlikely events happen. It does not have to be a conspiracy.

Think about this: If he hadn't died, he probably would have received much less attention.

There were a few other eloquent Chinese whistle-blowers from the early days, Jan-Feb 2020, who have been silenced by government threats or by being detained, who do not have the public recognition of Dr Li - probably because they didn't die.
Wow this is almost exactly what I’ve been looking for for years. I don’t want a tool like up that works on a fixed entry command; I want a full terminal that takes care of everything, showing me the output at every step. What’s missing is some caching (think HTTP requests) and limitation (e.g. evaluate the first 4 HTTP calls, and wait for me to approve the rest if they’re good)
Probably because it was not doing just fine outside of it.

If you think they took the wrong approach and yours is the right one, show them by doing.
I highly doubt this. Lab leak while unpopular is hard to disprove. While these fictions are easy to do so.

As an English as second language speaker, they/them is actually brilliant. I remember in school misgendering people counted for half the negative marks. Thinking of gender just broke my thought flow and I believe it was similar for my class mates who made similar mistakes. If you ask brain to concentrate on details, language becomes harder. English is already a very weird language, they/them actually brings in consistency.

And this is coming from someone who's mother tongue actually has more gendering than english.
Brute forcing to find `hash(data_1+nonce) == hash(data_0)` differs very little from ``hash(data_1+nonce) < difficulty_level`. Write each and compare the cost/fitness/survival functions.

If the hash function is reversible - as may be discovered through e.g. mutation and selection - that would help find hashes that are equal and maybe also less than.

Practically, there are "rainbow tables" for very many combinations of primes and stacked transforms: it's not necessary to search the whole space for simple collisions and may not be necessary for preimages; we don't know and it's just a matter of time.

> Anyone have any idea why Hershey includes a set of cyrillic fonts?

It was developed at an American military lab in the mid-1960s. Do you really need to ask why it would invest in Russian language support?

A better question would be, "why did Hershey spend such efforts on Japanese kanji?" and the answer there seems to be that he was a calligraphy enthusiast and relished the challenge & demonstration of the power of his vector font approach. (And to be fair, if you read through the "Calligraphy for Computers" paper to the end and look at the dropcaps/initials, and kanji, it is very impressive for such an early system - I wonder how many decades you have to go forward to find a superior system in any kind of general use?)

That's not what I'm saying.

I'm saying the Chinese people have the right to determine what government they should have. No-one else gets to decide that for them.

But saying that one government is "better" than another can be seen as imposing your standards of "better" on another culture. Especially if you choose to ignore some criteria and select others - the USA has by far the highest percentage of its population in prison in the entire world[0], so yes you can make a serious claim that China "protects its citizens" better than the USA.

One aspect of bootstrapping I imagine is the "fail-fast" principle. If you can't compete while spending less than your revenue you should take it as a sign that your current business is not "boot-strappable".

Doesn't sound like he bootstrapped.

MFA is not a silver bullet. You can still login with stolen cookies and 'replay' the session without signing in.
Not earlier but rather just some of the early cases.

The precise timeline of the outbreak is in any case very sketchy due to the natural circumstance that nobody was testing for it before the Wuhan outbreak, but of course the first time you find something doesn't have to be the first time you could have found it.

In https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2004999117 they report that (at the time) the known samples closest to the bat progenitor were collected 3-4 weeks after the outbreak was declared, and could be connected to a cluster (cluster A) of cases connected to Guangdong detected starting from two weeks after the outbreak.

It's important to highlight that while these cases were picked up later and outside of Wuhan, the genetics of the viruses were closer to the supposed ancestral bat virus, so in some sense this is a sample of an "earlier" part of the epidemic.
The popular hypothesis includes Gain of Function research in the lab to make it so contagious (which, per your claim, would mean that they would have published about it?). If it came from the cave directly into the lungs of patient zero, I'd think it'd effectively be considered zoonotic.
I still use sublime text everyday. By far the boot speed, zero lag between file changes and other slight annoyances are not there. Plus the integration of Sublime Merge has been fantastic.
You're avoiding my main point and discussing individual subjective stances.
Do we have life expectancy by profession today. I think this would be something to know before selecting a major. Also increased of rates of diseases associated with that profession. Like I would think construction workers definitely live shorter lives, and are more prone to breaking bones. Apparently Monks live a long time, but I'm curious which profession has the shortest lives.

The website of Mullvad itself has essentially no identifying information, and that's fine and perfectly reasonable, it's just got to be part of your threat model of using the thing. Mozilla whitelabeling the service and giving it a well known reputation is another thing entirely.
>it'll probably handle corners better and generally be more fun to drive

Sounds like a very educational project.

I wouldn't be so quick to just brush off Tesla engineering as having bad tradeoffs, or make assumptions about the fun of cornering, but I'm sure the project will be an eye opener and maybe will lead you to test drive an M3P sometime.

Definitely it's hard to beat an RX8 with cornering but that's before you load it down with batteries.

Edit: I had some doubts about your weight claims but I wasn't thinking about the fact that you are losing the engine weight, which puts you pretty far ahead! Sounds like a cool project.
I had a bone marrow transplant in 1989. I had to remain isolated for about a year. Back when 12 months seemed like forever.

I started a BBS network. That was my social life. Those digital pen pal friends were my life line. Probably the most intense, intimate relationships I've ever had.

I don't know what happened in the medium transitions since. Dial up to internet, FidoNet to UUCP & NNTP, FTP & Gopher to HTTP, multiuser to MMORPG, blogs to social media, desktop to laptop to mobile, social media to livestream.

Maybe it's like Chomsky tried to warn us: Anything ad supported is bad for us.

Maybe it's like David Graeber suggests: While winner-takes-all is something like a natural law, we can always find nooks and corners to connect with each other and have genuine relationships.

I really dunno.
