Something that makes this extra interesting is that two of the major telcos of Myanmar are subsidiaries of companies from other countries: Telenor from Norway and Ooredoo from Qatar. Both of which are majority owned by their respective governments. According to [1] they account for 28 of 54 million subscriptions.

It will be interesting to watch how these two companies continue to comply with such orders. These events are making the news in Norway with a Telenor angle. If things keep escalating and Telenor is shown to be in any way complicit in any human rights abuses, it will be a scandal in Norway, and the Telenor leadership will have to answer to the government. Norway has cultivated an image as a human rights champion of sorts on the international stage, and is expected to take this sort of development very seriously. There is precedent in the VimpelCom case [2] where the financial crime police, parliament and the ministry of commerce got involved. Senior leadership had to testify before parliament committees, the police made corruption charges, and the chairman of the board resigned after the minister of commerce indicated she did not have confidence in him. So Telenor Myanmar and it's Norwegian leadership is now under pressure from the government of Myanmar to comply, while also being answerable to the government of Norway for the possible consequences of doing so.

Meanwhile, Qatar is under international pressure because of human rights issues on their own turf, and the international eye turned on them because of the upcoming FIFA World Cup. In fact, Norway's national team has been calling them out recently [3]. They might also want to tread very carefully around this issue.

They point out in that post that Houston for example doesn't this problem because they have no zoning laws.

But also, the point is that SF keeps changing the rules. Places that don't change the rules as often won't have this problem.
> It would be unethical to hold back vaccinations from a control group for 2 years after it already proved efficacy.

Is it? I don't remember reading about that in NIH training on control groups. I'm pretty sure when your plan is to distribute 1 billion vaccines, holding out 0.000015 for a placebo control group is a sensible "ethical" tradeoff. Especially if, I don't know, everyone *volunteered* and agreed to those terms when signing up! And especially if, I don't know, all the data they had to date showed no increase in death rate?

The other comments explained what LSP is - I'll explain what tree-sitter is. It's a clever parser that is very fast when it comes to reparsing a slightly changed file (it's 'incremental'). It's also very good at handling errors and continuing to parse your file.

You write a grammar in json and it gets compiled to a shared library via C.

It doesn't take very long for the mRNA to break down, a few hours.

It's perhaps overly simplified, but the first shot teaches the immune system what to look for and the second shot causes it to prepare a bunch of antibodies that will attack the virus (in some sense, the second shot is a reminder to keep defending against the virus, and the immune system does that by making antibodies).

> node and typescript in order to get auto completion for bash, I'd have called you crazy

It's worse than you think.

This uses something called Tree-sitter: some project written in C for providing parsers for numerous languages.

The Tree-sitter parser for Bash itself somehow requires Typescript, though the parser is in C.

This Bash-LSP project uses a binary blob of that parser: it is C compiled as C++ into WebAssembly.

Bash-LSP, as well as the Tree-sitter Bash parser, can basically be called IDE tooling written by and for TypeScript programmers, who sometimes have to mess with Bash scripts.

The target audience doesn't mind TypeScript and Node dependencies, and in fact likely finds that preferrable to any other kind of dependency, because working with TypeScript dependencies is fresh in their minds, requiring little ramp-up to handle another one.

That's nonsense. Houston absolutely has the same problems and many many buildings and home that exist in Houston would also be illegal to build today under city ordinances. The reason Houston doesn't have the same degree of housing shortage is Houston has over 668 square miles of land (1779 square miles for Harris county) vs 40 for San Francisco.
I much rather steer the conversation towards solutions rather than engage over abstract "good" and "bad" terms which you don't seem to want to define. In any event, we have reached a point of disagreement, which is fine with me, so lets leave it at that. Have a nice day.
So why would they remove the feature if it worked better manipulated?
It's amazing how much we let city governments get away with zoning restrictions. Almost universally city governments will say they're "pro affordable housing", yet they will never budge an inch and give away some of their zoning power.

Kotlin types and Java types are much more compatible than Scala types. No need to use converters. Also, Scala leans very FP, while Kotlin and Java don't, so they are also more similar in that regard, though I don't know if that's what "JVM-aligned" means here. Overall, Kotlin and Java just have better interoperability than Scala and Java
Ask HN: Are there Node.js frameworks with scope similar to Django?
This question is not about which technologies are better or worse; it is about feature sets and scope of project ambitions:

Django is well-known for being "batteries-included", including e.g. a database migration framework, auth & permissions system, admin site, file storage utilities, static file management, an ORM and other relational database features abstracting over common relational databases, a form rendering-to-html and server-side-handling framework, an HTML templating language, etc.

My question is whether projects with similarly wide scope (or with ambitions to have such) exist in the node.js ecosystem?

Less objectively, if the answer is "not really at the moment", I am interested in whether it would make sense for such a thing to exist / whether one is likely to come to exist / etc

Cortx is a profitable, stable, and growing artificial intelligence startup that is building an NLP product that automatically writes content about any subject with the same level of quality, factual accuracy, and usefulness as a human. This product already has thousands of monthly paying subscribers and is quickly growing - in 2020 our month over month MRR growth was >10%.

You would be at the intersection of research and production code - taking our research roadmap and helping make it a reality. You will be helping our AI team take nascent research concepts and turn them into state of the art natural language generation. You will be constantly ingesting research papers, building prototypes, and later turning those prototypes into production code.

Our work almost exclusively involves very heavy deep learning (transformers) and we primarily use PyTorch.

You will be working directly with our Founder/CEO (me!), who is leading the AI team, both as a manager and an individual contributor.

We sponsor all visas, including H1B and Green Card, and we pay market rates for SF/NYC despite being located in an area with a significantly cheaper cost of living.

If you have done work with transformers for text generation, information retrieval, or text style transfer (and especially if it has advanced SOTA), we would be very interested in talking with you.

Contact us by emailing alex@cortx.com with "HN" in the subject line.

Also, although there is not an official job opening, we are starting to look at openings for an Operations Manager (Super Generalist) and a VP of Marketing. If you are interested in talking about either of those, shoot us an email!

i would assume so.
Atleast in my experience (in a northern european country with many 120> old houses) almost no houses are strictly "up to modern standards" in terms of building regulations. Usually it is something minor or energy inefficient. Using single pane windows for instance.

Most dangerous regulations are taken quite seriously however, Electrics are usually old(80's and later) but not ancient(pre-ww2 - reconstruction).

Water and gas supply is usually in good order because of the strict laws regarding those regulations.

> They're specifically and explicitly staking their credibility on the claim that the attribution is ultimately North Korea and not merely some entity possibly masquerading as North Korea.

That's a weak argument.

We live in a post-credibility world. Every major corporation, government and media giant has been caught lying on similar subjects and suffered no consequence.

The status quo is, Google can absolutely afford to lie to the public and expect it not to affect is bottom line even if it gets caught (or at least, affect its bottom line less than pissing off the US by pointing the finger at an allied country would).

(On the other hand, if it did cover up US allies that way, I'd expect whistleblowers to reveal it, and so far I don't think they have; so I dunno)

My original comment referred to the 95% effectiveness in PFE top line numbers from when we got the clinical trial readout rather than the 91% in the article. I was responding to the parent comment.

Further, the JNJ clinical trial data was from a population where the Brazilian variant, the most serious of the variants, was likely more widespread than this PFE data which seems to focus more on the relatively less dangerous South African variant.
> but ultimately the point is that the current currency system no doubt consumes a huge amount of energy

But is it really huge? I mean, compared to BitCoin mining? Or, if you like - compared to, say, the energy consumed by people's personal computers and mobile phones? I'm not so sure. I mean, I would guess it's not all that much, but it's pure speculation on my part.
Many (most?) vaccination centers are still supply constrained, and will use up most of their supply early in the day, just serving stragglers later. This is good news, in that it means that it's pretty easy to scale up distribution as supply increases. The one I worked at was doing something like 6000 doses a day, and most of them before noon. If you came by at 4pm, you'd think we were doing nothing at all.

is there anyway to track the total energy cost of the Filecoin ecosystem?
I do.

I expect the emergence of new variants that spread in the unvaccinated either in places without masks (and resistant to vaccinations) like the US south, or (more probably) in the 96% of human beings that aren't Americans (and have much less access to covid vaccines), and the vaccine pressure selecting for the spread of variants that are different enough for the current set of vaccines to be less effective.

I am not an expert, this is just an educated guess by a layperson.

I also anticipate a major backlash against those who would refuse vaccines, as well as an impending necessary overhaul of the process and timeline for bringing slightly modified vaccines to market (as a clear need to quickly protect against new variants or even new strains emerges).

What do you mean? If you don't have the INTERNET permission in your manifest, you won't be able to create network sockets. So this enforcement is already in place, it has always been. The only possibility I see of leaking internet access through the intent system is when an app that does have internet access would give content:// URIs with granted URI permissions to an app that does not, so it would indirectly and unknowingly download something from the internet through that app's content provider. I don't think it's possible to grant anything on an http(s) URI. For that matter, almost any permission can be "leaked" this way. You could even skip the intents and content providers and just do it with straight AIDL if you're so inclined.

Android's permission system is pretty solid and almost impossible to work around.

Filecoin, at it's lowest value since inception, traded for ~ $4, which would still make this a $200k donation. I hope we can agree such a donation is still worthy of praise.

This donation is evidence of that, but belittling this donation because of disagreements with the underlying tech does little to add to the conversation.
