Then by all means go into the office and get their element of social interaction together and let the introverts get their stuff done in their preferred environment.
It depends.

I built a system once that used a bunch of inexpensive SBCs. Due to their physical location being close to users who could easily physically tamper with them; I placed them on my client network and treated them just like regular clients rather than putting them on a more trusted network. I'm not going to put a $50 IOT device on a subnet next to $10,000 servers. If you only have a handful of devices maintaining them is easier by throwing them in the least trusted tier and applying standard user monitoring rather than trying to micro manage them. The data they're dealing with is inconsequential to the operation of the business.

By the way I'm not talking about Chinese IOT devices with default root passwords and ssh enabled. I'm talking headless Windows clients.
The problem with your logic is that all it took is a handful of infections in China to trigger a global pandemic. Even a "few" infections of a deadly resistant strain could prove to be problematic. That said, we do not have a full understanding of this disease yet. Its better to err on the side of caution - but not paranoia :)

> If we actually locked down for a month or so we might have had a shot at beating it with less long-term misery, but since covid was so politicized and government was too timid to actually do that, we half-assed it instead, and here we are a year later.

Looking at the situation from the outside, your point can't be emphasised enough. I live in a region that took the initial stay-at-home orders seriously, imposed self-isolation requirements for anyone entering the region, and got numbers low enough that tracking became a realistic tool for containment. Kids go to school, safely and with relative normalcy. Adults work at home when possible and in their workplace when necessary. Most of the restrictions we face are in the form of public health regulations rather than shutdowns. When there are shutdowns, they are targeted and of limited duration. Yes, certain parts of the economy have been hit hard. On the other hand, they would have been hit hard anyway. Accepting the pain at the start of the pandemic has also protected many other parts of the economy.
If I could choose I'd currently take Pfizer-Biontech. My second choices would be a tie between Moderna and Sputnik V, third choice J&J, last choice currently AstraZeneca because of the lower efficacy and elevated risk of trombosis (which according to the latest German data seems to be fairly high for a vaccine).

I cannot choose, though, and will probably get AstraZeneca once it's my turn.

While I may use an iPhone 5S (I just replaced its battery - can't believe how long the battery lasts now), I would prefer to use a non-proprietary phone. So, preferably no Google and no Apple.

In reality, I just need a PHONE with a good camera and multimedia texting, and one that isn't the size of TV.

I shake my head at the size of recent phones. I went through 15 years of mobile phones going from bricks to the size that fitted comfortably into a shirt-pocket. Only to see them start going back to being huge and unwieldy again.

I think there has been a lack of interest in smartphone NFC because iOS has no support for it.

For example, I have set up a tag to automatically connect friends phones to my WiFi network. You can also stick tags on places to trigger specific actions/mode/app: office, meeting room, car, bedroom.

>This is supported by a look at smartphone cracking company Cellebrite’s effectiveness at breaking into different phones. Cellebrite can easily open up any iPhone X or earlier iPhone, but the same software used on a Google Pixel 2 or Galaxy S9 extracts very little information, and nothing at all in the case of the Huawei P20 Pro.

>That’s not to say that these Android devices are unbreakable. It's just that it requires a different, more labor-intensive process to get the data requested.

>The sheer variety of Android hardware and customized software builds makes it hard for phone-crackers to build a universal tool to break into Android phones. Meanwhile, a "jailbreak" released late last year permanently bypasses the security functions of every iPhone model from the iPhone 4s to the iPhone X.

I can think of a few good reasons. Strategic (you don’t want to hand over to a foreign power your critical infrastructures). Diversification (if all your banks run on aws, the day aws goes down you don’t have a banking system anymore). Not being at the mercy of a capricious tech billionaire (what happened to Parler could very well happen to a state if the said billionaire doesn’t like your policy).

Thankfully the researchers considered that point. From the above abstract

Tom Mitchell has been using machine learning to interpret fMRI data.[1] The method struck me as one that could potentially work (though I was a bit surprised by the apparent success rate of studies in his lab).

The fundamental problem with fMRI is its poor time resolution. MEG is promising in this respect.[2]

I was about to argue that that seems pretty anemic for a best-case scenario, but it occurs to me that the lack of a substantial atmosphere probably means you do at least avoid any reduction in light as the sol goes on; Martian sunrise is therefore probably brighter than Earth sunrise.

Even still, being able to see the Martian sky means being exposed to radiation for which no intervening atmosphere or magnetosphere exists to protect you. I don't think this changes much about a Martian settler's unlikeliness to prefer to set their clocks according to solar time.
Ask HN: To what extent is “ethical AI” virtue signaling?
There is a growing movement towards "ethical" or "human" centered AI and technology. The movement has seen more leverage in 2020 due to things such as the Social Dilemma on Netflix, and the incident(s) with Timnit Gebru.

Will the bad decisions that these systems make ever be repaired with things that don't fall under the "inspire action" and "informing" people umbrella? Is responsible technology policy possible? Is this a social movement, or is there a technical/business purpose to really push for this? Or, is this mostly virtue signaling?

Proving there is an infinite number of some subset of primes, for any sort of non trivial subset of primes, seems noteworthy at first. But considering the implications of there being infinite primes, there being a finite limit seems far more noteworthy. Is there any set of finite primes that isn't trivial?

I'm considering trivial to be something like all primes less than 100 or all primes divisible by some prime p, which itself is just a much fancier generalization of the claim that 2 is a noteworthy prime for being the only even prime.

I think this is the only set of non-trivial primes proven to be finite, and even then it is technically an infinite set of finites sets of primes.

Biden only led Sanders in the primary after 2/3 of the field dropped out and endorsed Biden.

You may be right, but we'll never know how Bernie would have done against Trump. Personally, I think he would have won by a much bigger margin.
The US is the most wealthy country in the world. The price increases in fundamentals and stagnation in wages reflects the growing power of the upper classes. If wealth was evenly distributed across the labor force, each worker would make $140k per year. If distributed evenly across the population, it would be closer to $70k. Instead it's closer to a $50k median wage with a huge tail of extremely poor people.

This doesn't even approach the idea that money and debt are fake anyway and are political choices that have been chosen to impoverish weaker citizens.
Sure, i agree. Not everything needs to be saved, but some things should be. We have museums full of modern art, and museums with 4k year old Egyptian stuff. Often the same museum.

I think i may have overstate the "save the old". Its not just about age, although we should save nice things that are old. Its primarily that "big" buildings (new or old) tend to be less human-scale than smaller ones (new or old).
Covid won't disappear but the risk of mass casualty events from the virus certainly will, and that should be enough to remove the pandemic restrictions. We've lived with endemic infectious disease for a long time, and we will continue to live with them for the rest of our lives.

Yeah, but what does "taking it seriously" really mean? They can either comply or not. If they comply, the world will call Norway hypocrites. If they don't, you think Myanmar's military would give two fucks about forcefully destroying their facilities, killing their employees along the way?

It's no only a matter of optics and it's cynical to reduce it to a mere PR (ergo, money) problem. It's catch 22.

Bug bounty factoring!

From wikipedia:

> Factoring is a financial transaction and a type of debtor finance in which a business sells its accounts receivable (i.e., invoices) to a third party (called a factor) at a discount.[1][2][3] A business will sometimes factor its receivable assets to meet its present and immediate cash needs.[4][5] Forfaiting is a factoring arrangement used in international trade finance by exporters who wish to sell their receivables to a forfaiter.[6] Factoring is commonly referred to as accounts receivable factoring, invoice factoring, and sometimes accounts receivable financing. Accounts receivable financing is a term more accurately used to describe a form of asset based lending against accounts receivable. The Commercial Finance Association is the leading trade association of the asset-based lending and factoring industries.[7]
> I think this is a situation where the tools only give you a leg up when not everyone is using them (and become practically a requirement when everyone is).

The conclusion I'm drawing from this is that OP should offer it as a service for a very high price. Imagine if it cost $1000 or even $5000 up front and made some guarantee of your money back if you didn't find an apartment. That way the service wouldn't get overloaded and OP can pay for his new yacht at the same time.

Big cloud systems, the ones we all regularly use, get much closer scrutiny than government systems normally (because we all know when Azure, GCP, AWS, Linode, DO, CloudFlare or OVH have a major outage, misconfiguration, or A/C fire). As a "single" provider I'm sure Microsoft is much better at this than the (likely shoestring budget) government group of admins was before they moved. There's more burst capacity (if needed) without paying for redundant equipment most of the year, and ultimately it's probably at a lower cost.

Meanwhile Azure is the only cloud with two Canada regions (Canada "Central", Canada East)[0], AWS has one (Canada "Central")[1], GCP has one (Montreal same city as AWS)[2].. there's really only one player if you want to use managed cloud services.

I'd say that you need critical infrastructure redundantly deployed everywhere, and experiencing a training outage on one of the platform each quarter.

But wanting is one thing, having the money to implement and maintain such a solution, a quite another thing :-/
Only a small fraction of those experiencing food insecurity are homeless. Not every solution needs to cover every single person in order to be valuable. Solutions for feeding the homeless are different than the solutions for feeding a single parent with five children living in social housing.
Some LED bulbs are pretty ok. But man do they have way more failure/annoyance modes. I've got can lights in most of my house, and it's much nicer if you match a room up for color temperature, but also start latency, and dimmer compatibility. With incandescent as long as the wattage was the same/close and the color type was the same, you could mix and match different manufacturers; now if one bulb goes out, I might have to replace the whole room if I don't have any like for like spares, the model may have been updated so I can't get a new bulb like the old one.
In our code base we just throw a `?:` after any type that shows up as Type! and handle it immediately. If you actually expect a null value you can also use `?: null`

>DRM has never won a single battle that I know of.

You need to define 'victory' in a proper manner.

Businesspeople don't really care if some lone hacker in some forsaken internet forum broke their DRM. They don't need to fulfill the perfect technical victory condition. So long as they've limited the use of the devices for nearly all users for the commercial lifespan of the device*, and (most importantly) so long they think they make more money than without, they've won as far as they're concerned.

Their criteria is far more realistic and relevant to the world at large than the technical 'never ever get hacked' criteria. There's a good argument that perfect protection (if it were possible) would actually be counterproductive to the bottom line.

* Just look at how general computing has been getting more and more restricted.
It's called security through obscurity.
