I don’t think it’s just Anti-Islam, but anti-organized religion sentiment in general. These sentiments aren’t unfounded, either.

Look deep within the pages of the Quran, the Bible or the Torah and you’ll find many examples of horrible and abusive human behavior. Behavior that would certainly not meet the HN Guidelines.
Yeah it's called android.
>acquisition by SCO

It was other way around. SCO (Santa Cruz Operation) sold off its UNIX business to Caldera, and renamed itself Tarantella (it was sold to Sun some years later). After some business failures Darl McBride took over as CEO in Caldera, renamed Caldera to TSG (The SCO Group) and started these lawsuits.
Hey, that's awesome!

- Does it break if your product goes away? How long can I expect support?

Nope, the toolbar is delivered via IPFS and will work indefinitely (unless ISPs block it of course). Though this is a very long-term project, so you can expect support for years to come!

- Does this have theming options? CSS?

Not yet. But custom theme colors will eventually be added at the very least.

- You should prevent the "click to read" function from reading the toolbar itself. Or have it read what the button does.

This should have been fixed a while ago, which browser did you experience this in? I'll fix it asap.
Dflat's compiler requires Bazel to build because it is easier to reference to flatbuffers' source code with Bazel than with Swift Package Manager. The runtime itself (which you delivers with your app) can be built with either Bazel or Swift Package Manager (as suggested through CI). It potentially can also be built with CocoaPods, I simply don't provide an official package on CocoaPods at the moment.
I think your question is wrong, it should be: Is it realistic to trust any company to build completely secure software?

I don't see your point about Apple, unless you're being sarcastic for comedic effect. Apple release software with security flaws too. In fact a zero-click security vulnerability present in the Apple email client was posted on this very page only three days ago[1].

Some kind of "prove it's you" function would be great.

When you register for notifications it sends out a verification email. That would be a good time to let you disable public lookup of your email address.

I also wish HIBP could securely disclose the snippet of information from a leak that's relevant to you. Knowing the password or hash characteristics, phone number, etc. could aid in mitigation, and seeing the raw impact might help motivate ordinary users to improve their security hygiene.

Suggested that idea to Troy in the past, and got the impression he's not amenable, largely due to the risks of hosting PII. Can't really blame him.
For the purposes of HIV, I would think that “attempted” is not very informative?
Generic medicines also require licensing, which costs money and takes time. A whole lot more could be done by governments to facilitate more competition in generic drugs.
Well, one idea is you could help us get a compiler up and running for our home-brew CPU project: https://github.com/hsc-latte/hs32core-rtl

We are at the stage of lacking a lot of software help. We have an assembler, but that's it.

We're expecting some initial chips back in a few months from using the Google/Skywater/Efabless shuttle program: https://efabless.com/open_shuttle_program

Currently we are simulating the CPU in verilog simulators, as well as fpga's. There's a lot of fun very low-level work to be done.
StyleCLIP doesn't necessarily show off what CLIP is capable of, much less what NNs right now are already capable. If you're interested, you should read through https://openai.com/blog/dall-e/ https://openai.com/blog/clip/

Is your complaint 'Microsoft paid SCO $6M (USD) in May 2003 for a license to "Unix and Unix-related patents"'?

If so, this seems like very reasonable 'leave us alone' money that absolutely shouldn't be required but I can completely understand why they paid that to make the problem go away as a business decision in the world we currently live in. I'd probably have done the same myself.

Why criticise them for protecting themselves?

Do you think this funded SCO's legal activities further? $6M seems like a very very small amount for this kind of legal action and I can't imagine it funded anything except the paperwork required to get them to pay it. How many corporate lawyers does $6M pay for? Not many.
Because the passage of laws is bought and paid for by corporations.
(Somewhat) related self-promotion: I've found that converting from HTML(+YAML) to PDF is one of the best ways to create a resume. It's very easy to come up with a good design, you can separate data (YAML) and presentation (HTML and CSS), and also export different views over the underlying data with simple filters (e.g. when generating a resume to apply to a job, only include the experiences that are relevant)

The code is pretty terrible, but you can see an example (my resume) here:

* Data - https://github.com/aviraldg/aviraldg.github.io/blob/master/_...

* HTML - https://github.com/aviraldg/aviraldg.github.io/blob/master/r...
Because Big Pharma lobbies to prevent such laws from being imposed. There’s even a law that prevents Medicare from negotiating down the price of drugs, with obvious consequences.
I stand by what I said. On a worldwide revenue basis, there are many other manufacturers that have strong incentives to develop a cure. Also, I disagree that "PrEP" would eliminate HIV. It's a prophylactic, not a cure, and one that will not be affordable globally for a looooong time. Even at $30 per month, the drug would be out of reach for many (see Africa where annual incomes hover around $1-2K annually.)

1. Gilead owns 3 of 4 top HIV drugs. GSK owns the #2, Triumeq.

2. GSK, Merk, J&J are all megacap, viable competitors with their own HIV products. Yes, its true that Merk and Gilead are in cahoots, but this was out of fear of GSKs dominance.

3. Some other US-listed names who are developing HIV drugs: ViiV (GSK subsidiary), Bristol Myers Squibb, Janssen, Mylan, Genentech, Abbvie.

Yes, the US is currently dominated by one company, but that does not mean there are heavy incentives for competitors--who are already well invested in the space--to break in.

I was considering the penetration category statistics alone, which was at least once in their life for 18.3% of all women in the country: https://www.nsvrc.org/statistics

Since one time is all it takes to get HIV, that's 18.3% of the female population that are vulnerable to infection from an attacker at some point in their life. Best to get vaccinated and not take that risk.
Even though HIBP didn't cause the data leak, their aggregation makes it a lot easier to see which websites someone uses.
> I can vividly recall the 2000s where practically every website would look and behave differently in different browsers.

That was a time before the web became more standardized as an app platform. Corporations like Microsoft with .NET, Sun with Java, and Adobe with Flash, were all competing take over the whole world of write-once-run-anywhere frontend apps, become the platform of choice, and lock everyone into their way of doing things. Also there was no distinction between desktop computing and mobile computing as mobile computing back then was still underdeveloped.

Now the web is the frontend platform of choice. Ostensibly the platform isn't owned by anyone but the WC3 consortium (which is good), but practically speaking, Google won since everything is WebKit now (which is worrisome). And this has not yet so far solved the problem of the web being built on an incredibly poor programming model that make everyone want to use virtual-DOM frameworks and CSS preprocessors.

Hopefully, web assembly will replace the status quo and let people develop front-end apps using better programming languages and frameworks than just the ones the compile to JavaScript.
If they had root access to an AWS account, this is exactly what you would expect.

If there's a cyber security firm that's been hired to provide analysis they're going to be combing through egress traffic to find anything suspicious. But, egress traffic is difficult and expensive to analyse.

Worse yet, the attackers could easily just sit there and not use their attack methods for a little while and start up their compromises in weeks or months. You couldn't be certain nothing's still there till you ripped the AWS resources out and replaced them.
There is an implementation of xcompose for windows. I think it's called 'wincompose' or something like that.
That’s not how that works, “sap #2” was a willing and active participant, nothing was taken away.
> That fact is a serious problem for a theory that claims this cannot happen under such a system. And many popular wonks do effectively make such claims.

These theories claim that free markets are better at generating wealth not that closed markets can't ever, under any circumstances work at all.
It's certainly a good thing to have a media that documents such things, if we're counting.
The typesetting is better because PDF documents don't have to flow and resize across screens. This means a post-processing step can tweak hypenation, letter spacing, etc. to give the whole document a pleasing look. On the web it's a lot more difficult, but not impossible, to do the same and work on every possible size screen. There's also growing work to make typesetting style hyphenation and such work in browsers in the near future: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/hyphens
Even if you develop capabilities API-first, you don't need an SPA, though. You can create some backend code that consumes your API and in turn serves separate web pages to a front end.
This isn't universally true, the site does have a notion of "sensitive breaches" which will not be visible to someone who cannot confirm ownership of the email address.

I went to a pretty unremarkable state school and took compiler construction classes, OS classes, AI classes, deep networking classes, etc. Pretty standard course load for many CS BS programs - then (16 years ago) and now.

I really don’t think most modern CS programs are glorified bootcamps. Not sure where you’re getting that from.
> First of all, if you want to assess the change in global poverty in an ideologically neutral way, why on Earth would you exclude China?

> is due not to the neoliberal markets that you espouse but rather state-led industrial policy, protectionism and regulation

Concisely stated, these people are talking past one another about whether "extreme poverty" is a static or dynamic measure. Yes the UN tries to keep adjusting "extreme poverty" by inflation but as others have stated and common sense dictates, extreme poverty is a matter of lack-of-access. By that measure, the entire planetary population has slowly integrated, which makes Noah's view seem correct to him. This is heavily skewed by subsistence farming being counted as in the same kind of extreme poverty, which doesn't mean much sense to me. Not sure why anyone would care about this kind of finger-wagging.
The RAM upper limit is my bigger concern.
Imagination is the sixth sense. Be careful how you use it – Paul Giamatti (cont)
Awesome example, bookmarked!
Because the GOP is ideologically opposed to price controls (except when it's in the form of subsidies to their state's pet industry of course). Something, something, free market distortions I think is the usual reason.
Coptic is still used as a liturgical language, but yes there are very few speakers of it.
I feel the same way - my Nighthawk is going strong with custom firmware, but my friends with Ubiquiti gear try to get me to replace it with a bunch of Unifi stuff every time I talk to them.
Anyone could mint a token on another platform, but https://foundation.app/terms committed Laina not to participate. I guess they might sue for breach if she did, because it would hurt their perceived legitimacy?
One feature of this format which made me choose it for a project I worked on is self-synchronization -- if your data is truncated or corrupted in some way, you can recover by stepping forward until the start of the next frame. And since frame lengths are limited to a small number, there's no worry of one corrupt byte causing the parser to skip the rest of a long file.
You perpetuated it as well as starting it. Your comments were probably more provocative also—but even if not, what another user does isn't really relevant. We don't come close to seeing all the comments that get posted here, so moderation can't be either complete or consistent, and each user needs to follow the rules regardless of what other commenters are up to.
Irrelevant. If I successfully defend myself from a rape attempt by biting the attacker, that will be recorded as "attempted", and yet I will still be exposed to the risk of HIV infection.

Egypt is like India in that any invaders who settled down there assimilated into the local culture pretty soon enough. The Greeks assimilated into the Egyptian kingdom during the reign of Ptolemy. Roman governors did the same, adopting Egyptian customs and of course intermarriage (cue Mark Antony). The Umayyads did not assimilate as much, often forcing the locals to adopt their stricter religious stances (like modern day Islamists). And like that, they suffered from lack of popularity and eventually revolts in Egypt (along with Iraq, Iran and anywhere not in Arabia), which led to the Abbasid Caliphate. The Abbasids ruled from Baghdad, but Cairo was given significant importance like an Eastern capital of sorts. When the Abbasids soon began declining due to internal weakness, Egypt gained more importance gradually at the expense of Baghdad. Saladin, a Kurd, ended up ruling from Cairo himself. When Baghdad fell because of the Mongols, Cairo effectively became the preeminent Muslim authority up until the conquest of Constantinople. Ottoman pashas often assimilated into the local culture. In fact, the first ruler of Egypt who fought for its independence from the Ottoman Empire was an Ottoman Pasha himself.

Edit:- also helped massively that Egypt controlled the Suez, and the proximity of Cairo and Alexandria (which Baghdad lacked) meant that the spice trade would inevitably make the Egyptians more prosperous. And of course prosperity leads to autonomy.
The actual "radioactivity" is due to nature uranium and thorium in the original phosphate rock.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphogypsum

There are NUMEROUS places in the US that have similar or larger NATURAL concentrations of these. Pick any places in the Western US from So Cal to NV to UT to NM back to AZ!!

Naturally NO WHERE in the article or any other references do they give actual numbers (e.g. Sv/hour) for the radioactivity. That actually matters a metric shxt-ton for assessing the actual risk. Without that it's nothing more than a boogie that appears after yelling "radiation".
Why do you think it would not be possible to build a website of such quality without frameworks?

On a separate note, I think the dashboard is alright but I wouldn't call it excellent. It's a bit slow and some things, for example mousing over the map, are glitchy.
That seems to be exactly the inverse of what's described by the Shackel quote in the Wikipedia article: "A Motte and Bailey castle is a medieval system of defence in which a stone tower on a mound (the Motte) is surrounded by an area of land (the Bailey) which in turn is encompassed by some sort of a barrier such as a ditch."
I’m intrigued by the comment that “there is nothing out there with the power and usability that Lotus Notes had back-in-the-day”. I didn’t have the opportunity to experience Lotus Notes personally, would be curious to hear the perspective of someone who used (or developed) the application.
The marketing text in the readme is more self congratulatory than useful to the end user. It’s fine to be proud of one’s work, but the documentation should first consider the needs of the project’s consumers. If it were up to me I’d strip out all the nonsense about the beauty of the code—at the end of the day, it needs to run well. Whatever clever or minimal techniques or linter rules you think make the code beautiful are not relevant to anyone that’s not a contributor to the code base.
The intersection of cryptocurrencies and expensive art... it’s like what part of this isn’t some kind of fraud?

> As others begin producing it market pressure will hopefully drive those costs down.

That's the idea, but it doesn't really work that way.

https://hbr.org/2017/04/how-pharma-companies-game-the-system...

> One of the ways branded drug manufacturers prevent competition is simple: cash. In so-called “pay for delay” agreements, a brand drug company simply pays a generic company not to launch a version of a drug. The Federal Trade Commission estimates these pacts cost U.S. consumers and taxpayers $3.5 billion in higher drug costs each year.

and this fun one...

> Another way pharmaceutical firms are thwarting generics is by restricting access to samples for testing. Generic drug makers need to be able to purchase a sample of a brand-name product to conduct bioequivalence testing. That’s because they have to prove they can make a bioequivalent product following the current good manufacturing practices (CGMP) standard. These manufacturers don’t need to conduct clinical trials like the original drug company did.

> But the original drug developer often declines to sell drug samples to generics manufacturers by citing “FDA requirements,” by which they mean the agency’s Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies program. The idea behind this program is a good one: give access to patients who will benefit from these personalized medicines, and bar access for patients who won’t benefit and could be seriously harmed. However, brand drug makers are citing these requirements for the sole purpose of keeping generics from coming to market.
"Denialism" runs the gamut from your undecided aunt who read a Facebook post and can be talked around in five minutes, through to actual strong opposition to vaccines based on years of conspiracy theories, and absolutely none of the people on that gamut respond well to unsourced claims that a vaccine is safe.

If you want to feel smug and superior, make dogmatic statements. If you want to change opinions, then you have to treat denialists with respect for their humanity, and separate the person from the opinion.
Not quite bulletproof. I found a couple of bugs while using it.

At the end, just before submission it showed the completed sections, and you could look at each section to see a tidy summary of the answers provided. Except for the section 1, where doing that jumped to the last of the section's questions instead.

I wanted to see one of the answers I had given in the section 1 to check before committing, and due to the missing summary page, tried stepping backwards and forwards through each question. All were shown, except the question I wanted to check (and had answered) was skipped.

Inspired to try things, I added a non-existent person to the household, then removed the non-existent person.

After that, when I stepped through all questions in section 1 it included the question and answer I'd been looking for, allowing me to confirm it was correct before submission.
You don't need to teach multiplication and reading at age four to teach a love of learning and participating in a culture of mind, and pushing it a year or too early is just a less efficient way to teach those skills.
Dems control President, Senate and House
I don’t deny any of that. But where is most of the hardware for just about any network and computing equipment manufactured? Questioning if tplink is made in China is pretty low effort and pointless.

A thoughtful analysis would ask why an onshore supplier would fundamentally be any less vulnerable to political adversaries.
You are also more likely to be financially successful when you do not actually need the financial success.
Depending on the child you may be unable to avoid it before the age of six.

As best I can remember, I taught myself to read by nagging my parents constantly about what certain words were and how to spell them. This would have been around four years of age. I knew it was a secret adult code with mystical powers. And I wanted in real bad.

I do wonder if the child simply wanting to learn to read is a factor. Perhaps some do not see any use in it, just misery. For me, while I was a quick learner compared to most, it still wasn't easy. I remember frustration and, because I was four or five, some literal tears. If I did not have a strong motivation, or if I had more difficulty with the concept, or if I had a really negative experience, would I have been more prone to developing a mental block of some kind, or an aversion to the effort?
This is true, but this is not Israel's calculation, far from it.

They are playing a zero-sum game of outbidding others so that they are 1st, no matter what.

Countries like the UK that invested in supply chain efficiencies well ahead of vaccine validation, even as there was risk of the investment failing ... this was acting ahead.

Almost every nation failed at this: we should have all been investing 10x what we did in anything to get the vaccines ready, even for those that ultimately failed because the $20B wasted on unneeded prep would have been less than the amount wasted in our current lock downs that could have been avoided were we already to have been vaccinated.
It doesn't matter if someone uses resources responsibly if someone else comes along and then uses up what's left. People defer power to higher levels - government, companies, religion, culture, education, etc. Real change involves people but will have to be driven by one of these if you want entire populations of people to go along.

Climate change is unfortunate since it means getting many countries working together, and some may see a benefit in doing nothing.

As to what people can do? I'm not sure there is an answer. A technological solution would be great but isn't assured, voting is a problem in that you already need a lot of people thinking the same way, and leading a good lifestyle will assuage personal guilt but move the needle very little, so I think it's worthwhile but not a solution. I am not sure it will make a difference as you say when others will step in and consume what you left on the table.

My opinion is that nothing meaningful will happen until we see some obvious signs of distress and even then we'll be lucky if people scramble for a solution. We are starting to see problematic weather patterns, reef bleaching, and other evidence but since the problem is statistical in nature we always get people who say such events are not necessarily an indicator of a problem. Broader scientific literacy in the community to understand the fundamentals involved would take a generation and would have to be led from the top down meaning we get back to the same issue of bringing an entire country on board.

So I don't have an answer, but I don't think someone always needs an answer to point out something isn't working. Regulation would work within a country, but you need to get leadership on board and this is a global problem meaning one country isn't enough. The solution will have to align with selfish interests whether economic or actual survival. My hopes are on cheap green energy and maybe one of the cleaner variants of nuclear but that is more of a faith-based answer than anything. I hope it'll work out but don't know enough to be sure.
