Yes and yes. It's essential to my daily browsing, to the point it sucks to wipe my own data while developing.

Text-based sites like (most news orgs, blogs) work just fine. Blocking JS even disables the paywall for some.

The sites that break down are YouTube and other sites with lots of interactivity. E-commerce, restaurants, Pinterest, anybody with a complicated frontend.

That's why the JavaSnipt default is "allow JS everywhere except on domains you block." I've tried disabling JavaScript at the system level (iOS Settings -> Safari -> Advanced) and it's really not a good experience. You constantly have to turn it back on for your bank website or whatever.

A fair argument but I don’t think it’s really fair to compare Signal to Apple Maps because IMHO while there is a possibility that the NSA is able to somehow intercept my Signal messages on-device prior to encryption occurring; it is almost a certainty that the NSA has some form of back door access to Apple’s infrastructure and is able to access location/search data from Apple Maps.

This isn’t even really a criticism of Apple, it’s just the reality of the world that we have created since 9/11. I don’t believe any company that operates at Apple’s scale can keep its infrastructure totally private and secure from abuses of user privacy by the state. Especially if that company has infrastructure or employees in countries like the US/UK/China that are notorious for having extrajudicial/illegal/secret/unaccountable surveillance programs.

Totally agree with you on Google, they are the worst by far on user privacy. And we shouldn’t really expect anything different from a company that derives almost its entire revenue from advertising/data AND has been deeply connected to the intelligence agencies from Day 1.

The West is on the rise technologically and in decline socially. But I wouldn't be too quick to call the decline irreversible. The democracy is still in a good shape despite some challenges.

The West went through many crises. This is not the first one, and not the last one. So far, nothing indicates that the social crisis is irreversible and the West won't be able to bounce back.
Yeah, I am not considering anything you say to be argumentative, I am just going in tangents with this topic because I have some experience there and find it interesting.

Dr. Sanjay Gupta Gives Weight to Theory That Covid Leaked from Wuhan Lab
As a European, it would be interesting to know if this story is representative of the U.S. education or one of the worst examples.

The story is absolutely chilling. The indoctrination, vague "harm" accusations, the public humiliation and clandestine support all sound very familiar.

We had a lot of this in the 20th century. It is always driven by bureaucrats without any real talents who nevertheless want to enjoy a comfortable life.
This is exciting! Really excited about the collaborative nature of the Livebooks, as well as the version control -enabling .livemd format.

> Serious question, how many of those people would have died in the past 12 months if they didn't get COVID? The number is most likely not 500,000, but it also probably isn't 0.

This can be answered using “excess mortality” data.

Studies have shown during that time period, about 600,000 more people died than would have been expected compared to deaths in the previous year.

The official covid death count is likely an undercount of deaths caused by covid, because a number of people died from covid related complications and got recorded as pneumonia, Alzheimer’s, or heart disease/attack/stroke related deaths.

This can't happen because Lucene is controlled by the ASF, not a commercial entity.

Allowing one of various foundations to take control of an open source project, can be beneficial for the community as its licensing is unlikely to change in the future. However it does present challenges for any future commercialization.

A good example of this is Confluent, which was founded by the creators of Kafka. LinkedIn, where Kafka was originally developed, transferred control of Kafka to the ASF. As the original developers, the Confluent team still has a lot of influence and contributes a lot of code to Kafka, but they do not wield absolute control. While this has presented some challenges to build a Kafka-centric business, and even led to them creating their own Kafka fork ("Confluent Server") they have still been successful. The community also has long-term confidence in the Kafka's license.
Your viewpoint is ideological.If you believe in preserving planet earth then what you want is rationing resources.

And that inevitably leads to communism.

I believe saving the earth is impossible with that kind of strategy.There's 3BN of people that will want the same kind of living standards like the rich west and you dont have any right nor influence on what they will do.

It's very similar to what we have done during this pandemic with lockdowns.It just did not work and prolonged the inevitable.
The video doesn't quite explain the jump though. The amount of old money didn't jump between 2018 and 2019 and it is getting harder and rarer to be underwater on your mortgage.

That seems like it'd be easy to fix: the government just needs to say "as soon as you're fully vaccinated, you don't need to social distance or wear a mask in public anymore". Since that isn't their position, there's basically zero incentive for young, healthy people to risk the vaccine side effects.
The point is that the incentive is for companies to sidestep this regulatory burden by totally excluding citizens from Crimea and Cuba etc.
The problem isn't 7 out of 7 million odds. It is that it is an unknown side effect that did not come up in the original studies.

We have approved vaccines with worse side effects before. The difference is that we knew what those side effects were and weighed the risk vs reward and made the call to use it.
Sure, but you claimed there is no simple formal rule. That's simply false. It's just that the formal statement is not front and center in documentations, because it is not very useful to learn the rule, and most documentations are targeted to learners.
> Given this statement is not qualified for timescale

Keep in mind that we also don't know the long-term effects of COVID-19. It's possible that people who were infected with mild cases drop dead 1 year and 6 months after the infection. The disease hasn't been around that long, so we simply don't know.
I don't think it is misleading. Novorossiya, as Wikipedia points out, is a historical term. It does not exist on political maps. The phrasing is the same as if someone wanted to carve out a chunk of Germany and call it Prussia.
Implying that more stability, less risk at a tech corp would be a bad thing.

No it would not. There have been a couple papers focused on the AZ vaccine that get into possible treatments.

> The morally compromised status of “oppressor” is assigned to one group of students based on their immutable characteristics. In the meantime, dependency, resentment and moral superiority are cultivated in students considered “oppressed.”

I wonder what will happen to the oppressor group once they become a minority. Judging by history, I'm sure it'll be something good.
In the back of my mind, not seriously more on the your top 10 friends are your zombie apocalypse team mind, that learning non-techy skills are worth while. Won't need any damn lawyers except to sacrifices when the zombie hordes get too close, but doctors would be good. Knowing how to grow food would be useful. Making clothes would be nice as well as being able to build things. Still trying to decide if at that point UI/UX people are lumped in with the lawyers, but marketing/PR people might go before the lawyers.

In otherwords, learn some hobbies that might just be a fun thing now, but makes you invaluable when civilization collapses.
It would depend on the age and make up of the population, cross reference that with a mortality table and you can get a pretty good idea. For a 25 year old the odds of dying in a given year are about .03, and this obviously moves higher as the population grows older.
It’s a sad but emerging reality.

Though if we can trade - corporate-ism for innovation, complacency and entitled-ness for hard work, political brainwashing for issue based activism, gradual progress for leap frogging - I would still bet on America.

While it’s a bit late, there is still a chance for America to re-establish itself as the leader. If we don’t wake up for another 5 years, we may indeed be on an irreversible path.
The risk is low, but I think the last I saw was a 0.01% IFR in the young, which comes out to 1 in 10,000. Still a higher risk than COVID at this point, although it's possible that they'll discover a higher incidence like with AZ.
Don't look at things like that. Shut down your brain and take your pilllls.
There are only so many algorithms and so many patterns.
"has been charged with bank fraud, illegal transmission of monetary funds and theft greater than $25,000, the authorities said."

Schwab screwed up and sent the wrong amount of money and the owner of the account decided to keep the money. I understand that Schwab should get their money back but why is the women being charged with a crime? This is a civil matter not a criminal matter. From my personal experience, if I accidently send a company too much money, I usually have a really hard time getting my money back and I can't have charges filed against the company. Why does Schwab get to have charges filed against someone but I don't have that ability?
Yeah glass is not that resistant to alkaline conditions over long periods of time. You can, of course, perform chemical reactions in them using highly concentrated base, but you don’t want to leave important features in contact with it for long periods of time. E.g. you can wash your scientific glassware with base, but you don’t want to leave it in there to soak. Otherwise the ground-glass joints (rough patches of etched glass used to help connect glassware together) can be corroded and smoothed out.
The gobi desert should be very old. You may have a point that it is growing, but:

"The Gobi Desert is expanding through desertification, most rapidly on the southern edge into China, which is seeing 3,600 km2 (1,390 sq mi) of grassland overtaken every year. Dust storms have increased in frequency in the past 20 years, causing further damage to China's agriculture economy. However in some areas desertification has been slowed or reversed.[15]

The expansion of the Gobi is attributed mostly to human activities, locally driven by deforestation, overgrazing, and depletion of water resources, as well as to climate change.[15]

China has tried various plans to slow the expansion of the desert, which have met with some success.[17] The Three-North Shelter Forest Program (or "Green Great Wall") was a Chinese government tree-planting project begun in 1978 and set to continue through 2050. The goal of the program is to reverse desertification by planting aspen and other fast-growing trees on some 36.5 million hectares across some 551 counties in 12 provinces of northern China.[18][19]"

State of [Urbit]: Spring 2021
This is possible, but I work in medical research, and this pause is pretty standard practice. When there is a potential problem, you pause, gather more data, come up with a mitigation plan (if needed) and submit all this to the ethics authority (usually IRB). Its rote standard practice. And i think much more likely that they are following standard practice than there are hidden issues that haven't otherwise been revealed publicly yet.

That said, this is not a usual situation at all, and I think it's absurd, not least because of lives potentially saved during this pause, but because of the carry on effects with vaccine hesitancy, etc.
The only part of the safety process we bypassed was 6 moths of phase-3 data, we decided 2 was good enough. Everything else was just bypassing all the time where we were doing nothing at all because there wasn't money to run the next study.
> It's a scummy practice, sure, but hiring two things as a package isn't illegal in itself.

I believe this would technically depend on whether one is employed or self-employed.

Only self-employed people are generally obligated to provide tools of their trade; whereas, personal tracking strongly implies employment. It shouldn't be both. (This all may depend on jurisdiction and specific circumstances, obviously)

Given that the article clearly says the person was employed before being required to download an app, this also feels like a breach of contract by the employer.

In your terms: They employed the worker, not the worker and their phone.
Fine fine, so trial and error over topologies and carefully nurtured "data infancy" are the key to artificial general intelligence. The 20 year claim ignroes a lot of details ... Tthe key stages of brain development that are sequential, only partially mutable, timed precisely with body development, and so on. Those million happy accidents could each be a component of the secret sauce that makes humans think like we do or not. Just look at how tiny the differences are between a schizophrenic person and someone with normal development trajectories. It's as simple as over-active pruning, perhaps. [1].

> This has nothing to do with "anti-vaxxers". Vaccines usually take years to develop precisely because we give them to everyone, and rare, long-tail risks matter. This was the case well before the MMR autism scare defined "anti-vax" as it has come to be known today.

Anti-vax hysteria has been around for longer than MMR and autism.

> rare long-tail risks matter

I agree, but at the same time I also think that it's an overblown problem with vaccinations. We aren't talking about medication that screws around with the metabolism in unusual ways. Vaccines (other than the newer mRNA stuff) are by and large large enough chunks of whatever we are vaccinating against to trigger an immune response when the real thing comes along + preservation/delivery medium.

At the end of the day, the worst case for vaccination is that you might be infected with the disease you are vaccinated against (when live viruses are used).

That's not the case for J&Js vaccine.

So the next question is, if the worst case scenario is you get a disease you were attempting to prevent, then what is the next real biggest threat from a traditionally developed vaccination?

> If anything, we've tossed out all of our usual standards of evidence in 2020, and did a bunch of stuff willy nilly, with no supporting evidence or rational consideration of trade-offs. We tore off all the safety belts. We don't need lower bars for evidence, we need less reactionary hysteria.

I'd argue that pulling a vaccine over a very minor number of reports of increased blood clots is overly reactionary.

Edit: And... reading this it makes it sound like I'm skeptical of mRNA vaxxes. Just to be clear, I'm not and I've gotten the pfizer vaccine myself. I do think they'd have more justifiable scrutiny to make sure they are safe as it's a new technique for mass vaccinations (even though it's been used in immunotherapy for a while now).
Have you considered not letting your children use the internet?
Part of what is not necessarily recognized on HN is that high paying software engineering positions really do hire competitively. And part of that is often the BS whiteboarding stuff which almost everyone will need to prepare for explicitly.

But regardless it is competitive at the well-compensated positions and things like "culture fit" etc. are also used. They can be very selective and just hire anyone they like. So one may be a genius and an experienced developer, but you may also be competing with someone who is a much younger genius, charismatic and with a well-regarded degree and good at whiteboarding.

For me, being a little bit older and not interested in getting an associate's degree in white boarding algorithmic problems or dealing with a lot of stress from office politics, I am not easily able to obtain or maintain a high paying job. But I am able to live somewhere with a low cost of living and work on a contract basis that keeps me going.

My goal is to build robots someday so I am taking advantage of a light schedule to learn/work on computer vision.
I am not a fan of people that only apply for a job so they can use it as a bargaining chip at their work. Such a waste of energy for me
There are a ton of issues with your thesis.

- The US is a impregnable continent with oceans on both sides. Poland is a flat plain surrounded by historical enemies. Congress isn't the Sejm and a single veto doesn't halt legislation. No one is going to invade the US and significant legislation still gets passed regularly. Poland also didn't have the entire apolitical infrastructure of the CIA, FBI, NSA, state governments, etc.

- Misinformation has always existed. The idea that somehow everything was true and honest back when we only had 3 TV stations is naive at best. The media has lost control of the narrative and they no longer have the power they once did to control information. It's as simple as that.

- You are assuming that the problem here is government and not culture.

Having a crypto punk is a status symbol in the crypto world. It’s the original NFT and is pre-ERC721 standard so marketplaces integrate bespoke. They touch the right level of meme, coolness, and 8 bit style that it’s kind of a quasi-troll in that they are worth so much. I love this project.
This really is a sad, sobering reality. "6 cases in 6.8 million", ~0.00000089% chance of death via J&J vaccination. Extremely disheartening to see, but rather telling, where priorities lie. Politics aside, this is sheer stupidity, as you mentioned. Brace for another year as mutations continue to develop throughout the developing world while we waffle over infinitesimally minimal risk.
Yeah I don't think critical thinking is worse than before, it's just being amplified by the feedback loop that social media has become.

Multiple advanced health care systems in the world are independently pulling these vaccines. I wouldn’t brush it off as the FDA being overly cautious. None of these vaccines have been tested in humans for more than 12 months. And you’re assuming that health authorities can wave a magic want and instantly know who is having some kind of undetected brain clotting? I think the risks are extremely unclear even though people are throwing statistics around like they mean anything.
It's because they don't mean the actual left, they really mean "people with nearly identical economic politics to me but are marginally less overtly racist and homophobic". The same people who with a straight face compare Biden to FDR but as a diss instead of a massive (and largely undeserved) compliment.
The prices look sustainable to me. If you take a dependency on an external service, you probably want that service to stay in business. Which a service competing with zero dollar pricing can't do.

Either your problem is worth a few hundred dollars a month or it isn't. That's not a pricing problem. The vendor is segmenting the market and focusing on segments where there is a business case.
No, that’s called socialism which most of the US is firmly against.
