Parental controls on Apple devices already let you set per-app screen time limits.

It seems to me you could easily if-gate content loading with a system API call to check that level of content is permitted.

This would even make sense for things like Netflix, who could show age-appropriate content based on the setting. There's already an Apple ID setting for appropriate age content in any case. It seems like there's just a need for an API to use it.

I don't think it's a liability issue - parents are presumably expected to enable these controls. It isn't the job of the device to try and enforce the child's age, it's the job of the parent to set the "threshold level", and then Apple can simply require apps announce any threshold changes (or query to see the allowed threshold).
Kinda surprised HN didn't warn me about it, usually it does a pretty good job. Thanks!
Any kind of antifreeze or salt would be an environment issue, never mind the issue of it corroding metal.

Ice build up and "defrost cycles" are not really an issue if managed right. But the issue is people buying the cheapest option and expecting the greatest performance.

HVAC tech knowledge is also an issue. Most techs are going to do the bare minimum in order to close out a job and move on to the next project/service call. There is really no incentive for educating end users on how their "system" works.
This might sound like a dumb question, but does anyone know if COVID is a bit like the common cold in the sense that you get a different variant every time you contract a cold? So having had a cold before is a near guarantee that you won't get the same cold, but almost no protection against a different cold.
Your own docs say that by default “writes are not guaranteed to be durable even if the client receives a success response”.

China might cheer lead itself sometimes by saying that "the West is in irreversible decline" but China itself is going bust economically. Their aging population is an increasing burden, their stock market is a game of shadows almost as cryptic as their local governments' structure. From day to day, the rules change.

Unlike Victorian England, which produced a rich culture of laws and economic profundity that continues to grow today, the Chinese model of capitalism has devolved to simple criminal behavior. as happened in Russia.

If you want to see decline, watch China carefully.
It makes it worse — if the job only makes sense (produces value at least at) $7.50/hr, you simply can’t execute it — even if you had people willing to work at that wage (because no better alternative exists)

An interesting aspect of poorer economy I’ve noted but haven’t seen anyone discuss otherwise is you can live a much better life being poor in India, than you can in the US — the really low income economy is far healthier (the quality of everything degrades continuously). I’m sure it’s not a novel insight, but I don’t know what others would call it.

In the US you pass under the minimum wage bar of value production and you’re immediately in a tent under an LA bridge — with everyone else ranging from $7.99/hr to $0.01/hr. Of course an economy exists to support them anyways, but it’s largely underground, illegal (bypassing safety and regulations, e.g. selling very old cars; selling cigarettes individually) and actively zoned into oblivion
The execs cashed out after taking advantage of their user. Milked it for everything it was worth, then exited with a sale to Verizon when it was clear it was worthless (actually by then I'd be surprised if any of the original team was still there -- for example Ray Oglethorp left in 2002).
WhatsApp have been focusing on payments lately[0] so it only makes sense for Signal to put efforts into that, too.

Thanks but this requires minimal setup and offers the most versatility. It does not require the technical expertise of setting up your own personal cloud storage.

If you think that Playpulse ONE is some disruptive technology then you are likely wrong. First, it sounds similar to McDonald's Play Place, you know, the plastic tunnels for kids at the fast food restaurant that are dirty as can be.

Also, the socioeconomic bracket who participates in endurance sports is typically upper middle class. The ability to work while exercising is of utmost importance. There is no setup that offers both play and work opportunities, like the one I mentioned.
I knoew when I saw that title it would trigger me! Sure did: Number two, the Bootstrap.

It is the "Stationary Bootstrap" because it can only be used on stationary data (for very obvious reasons). Problem is that tests for stationarity are very poor.

I have seen it used in academic finance to prove technical analysis. Yes, really (A clue to the clueless - except in very special circumstances technical analysis does not work). Completely inappropriate to bootstrap financial returns data as they are not stationary.

I am talking about White's Reality Check: which was devised by Herbert White who was a Distinguished Professor of Economics at the University of California. It is completely bananas, (final return data is not stationary. Bootstrapping it gives random noise. Duh!). When I looked at it about decade ago the paper it was developed in (two papers actually) were among the most cited in the field.

I am not convinced that it can be used in stationary data, though I only have experience debunking it, not making good use of it. If something seems too good to be true.... And the bootstrap promises to take your too small number of data and make it into a lot of data.

I see the paper here did not bother with stationarity. I stopped reading there. I cannot bear the myths and self deception statisticians tell themselves. I did it as a graduate student for far too long.

Its like the silent vegans that prepare their meals and you just don't notice. They're out there, in theory.
Unfortunately this article doesn't explain what FOVO actually does differently, just that it's not normal linear perspective.

I'm guessing what it's doing is the effect you get from when you take a panorama photo with your phone, so each column in the image is rendered as if in the center of a lens rather than at a side -- thus producing the curved lines we associate with panoramas, and that seem to be in these photos.

But that's not new, so what did they supposedly invent? Is it actually some new kind of projection that isn't the same as how panorama photos work? Or is it just that, but nobody had built it for 3D rendering software before and they did? Or people had, but they made it work in real-time?
Not quite the same. It's a simple management tool which rewrites your imports to use the latest version from supported registries. Deno binary still handles all the resolution, fetching, caching and loading.

There are no plans to add such convenience in the binary because it would mean limiting places you can import from (cannot upgrade deps for unsupported registries). Deno binary will remain agnostic to where you import from.

Community will come up with something if it's a huge problem and settle eventually.
Got it - the won’t ban the things you like.
As someone who also has thousands of hours in counter strike, you are either playing up the number of cheaters in the game (many do this, because they don't like to admit when someone is simply better), or have been extremely unlucky. I'm assuming here that you are talking about prime matchmaking, I don't have much experience with non-prime.

Valorant anti-cheat is a throwback to early 2000s malware, not really years ahead.
>> a simple WhatsApp competitor with the same business model as the pre-facebook WhatsApp.

Because the business was "sell to fb," effectively. Whoever succeeds in putting together a wide network of people will face similar incentives. I suppose someone could do it Craig Newmark style, but for that a Craig Newmark needs to be CEO of a major app company. Long odds.
I don't have the same experience.

At my previous job, the developers were only expected to provide a Docker image with a list of requirements to run it (volumes, environment, configuration). Then it was my job to write the Helm chart and CI/CD pipeline. It was also my job to teach the developers to be autonomous on that aspect.

I never got a job where developers were expected to know how to deal with (pre)production servers. Except maybe in startups where everyone is expected to do everything because you never got enough people with the right skill.

I even got a developer in my team who didn't even know that Kubernetes existed while the company was migrating from on-premise to Kubernetes (and probably still does not).
I was reading this and hoping for a better ending. Exceptional story and the thing is not about the hiring process in FAANG. What's important the most, from my perspective, is how bad can it get. You failed twice, been rejected multiple times and when you land a job you can't handle the unfairness of the process. This is maybe real life for a lot of founders. Being the victim of your own ambition and then the people who hold the key lock the door because they worship the process itself instead of the outcome. The irony and the nihilism.
The emergence of a second wave of infections in Manaus, Brazil, despite an estimated 76% of the population having acquired antibodies in the first wave, would seem to pretty conclusively demonstrate that a natural immunity strategy (or an emergence of natural immunity in the absence of a coherent strategy) (a) did not work well for the people and (b) provided an incubator for new, more dangerous strains to evolve.

Don't insult or disrespect me because I lived there and escaped the fire. Did you live there? Were you there? I have eyes, noticed the many tree species everyday, and density that was there before the disaster capitalism resource exploiters came in and cut down every tree that homeowners didn't defend ($1000+ per log). We had mostly pines in our yard that were constantly attacked by borer beetles and helped by woodpeckers. There were some places with more trees than others, but it wasn't an "oak forest." There were a dozen different species of trees.

Our house survived because there wasn't fuel right next to the building and building codes work. Many of the houses that burned were dilapidated/poorly maintained, had trees overhanging or too close to their homes, or had fuel like bushes, pine needles, or firewood next to them.

Do you know how many trash cans-full of pine needles I cleaned out of the gutters before putting gutter-guards in?

Gimme a break with your know-nothing reporter regurgitated soundbite quips.
i like to have multiple deps files roughly grouped. this reduces not only the likelihood of name clashes but also gives a bit more structure and in addition when running in the browser its possible to handle bundling the dependencies separately by that grouping.

All the new instance types seem to get deployed on US-EAST-1 first. It may be crowded, but it always gets the good stuff first.
Based on lots of previous comments (and yours!) that describe a day/night difference, I've concluded this is highly personal.

Work issued me a 2018 Mac with a 2880x1800 15.4" display (220 dpi), and I work at home with it plugged into a 1920x1080 23.5" display (93 dpi) from Sceptre. They are side by side, all day long, and I vastly prefer writing and coding on the FHD display, to the point that I thought I was being trolled when I read comments about "never going back".

So, I'm guessing people just like different things!
I hope they don't split up the eco-system again.
Apple seems to be unwittingly making Epic's case in their antitrust case, and helping to justify the need for independence and separation of distribution, curation, payment processing, and operating system.

I know payments networks can get funny with payments that go to anyone doing anything not in line with their puritan views, but webs of intermediaries usually tend to resolve that issue.

What about apps like Reddit though? Don't they have IAP for their tokens or things you can give users, but also feature 18+ communities? This does seem to be an uneven application of the rules.
> “Some people will not buy a drink if we’re out of boba,” she said. “They’re literally here for the boba.”

I've heard from an ice-cream shop owner that mint-chip eaters are this way. Anyone else will substitute another flavor if the one they're looking for isn't there, but an ice-cream shop has to have mint-chip on hand because people looking for that flavor won't substitute.

Anyway: I had no idea we imported finished tapioca pearls. They seem really easy to make:

(I appreciate there's a big difference between making enough for one drink and needing to have enough on hand for a week's business, but still, if it's that or losing customers, time to get cooking.)

It will allow it to work longer before a refuelling is needed. Higher reactivity reserve before fuel poisoning sets in.
Disclaimer: I don’t have any data, so take the following with a grain of salt.

I don’t think so. First, roughly a third or so of the people in Germany are considered to be at a higher risk of Covid (not only due to age, but smoking or obesity). Depending on where you live this might vary, but it’s not as if only a small part of the population is at risk. This is why - even if you’re healthy - it’s an important topic because we as a society need to take care of each other.
Second: there are young healthy people that are suffering from the effects of COVID for months. A friend of mine used to run and now struggles with walking for a couple of minutes, he wasn’t safe from the virus after all.

Despite that, the risk of getting COVID is quite low, so theres no reason for panic.
> they don’t want anything to do with bitcoins

Honestly, this is a bad argument. You can use Signal and never send a gif or stickers. You don't have to do anything with ~~stickers~~crypto when using Signal. It is an opt-in feature that is probably going to not be used my 90% of people. This is just a bad argument surrounding the whole ordeal.

Now the arguments about: regulations, Moxie's involvement (stated he has no coins but there's other potential issues), and how the final system will actually look like (e.g. should it be a second app), those are valid arguments that we should be discussing. But the above one just isn't great and I'm tired of seeing it.
I went to 50+ open houses in the 3 years pre-Covid (finally bought a place just before it started) and was never once asked for ID. They usually ask you to write down contact info on a sheet, which I do using intentionally impossible-to-read handwriting to avoid follow-up spam.
I keep coming back to this classic: https://wipp.info/

The claim was that the _API_ is simple relative to the system's capabilities, including being discoverable and standardized (w openapi).

If passenger jets had a comparable API you could use to ramp up to the level of competence that you can on k8s, that would be pretty amazing.
What happens on the suicide hotline?

Is it adequate, does it cover the use case of people that don’t want to be here anymore?

Does the common sense have any peer reviewed backing? (I previously wrote quantitative, which I would like to evaluate in the peer reviewed study)

If my question provided no introspection for you, do you really think asking me my own question provided introspection for me? I am still left curious. Still lacking the context, I think the current approach is feelings based, emotion, based on heavy reactive assumptions that don’t address anything, but I don't actually know.

Regarding the phrasing, I’m actually trying not to come across with my actual pretty negative opinions of this because I’m hoping someone will actually explain the cause and effect before I make those conclusions known.

Explain the common sense, if the answer is “actually only a small sliver of some suicide is adequately addressed by simply talking about and we have no study and no other information about the other suicides” then just say that. I would be a lot more content if people were just able to say that or cite some other stat. As opposed to copypasta and group think.

I’m not necessarily convinced that “help” is the right word for all use cases, and think people just don't want to honestly talk about. So lets just start with the basics of basics, why are we doing this.
If there were a climate emergency, it would be unnecessary to run a headline saying so. They're running this headline precisely because there isn't an emergency, but they'd like you to believe there is despite not seeing anything to indicate it with your own eyes. But if I'm wrong, I'd love to see it. Step outside and snap a picture of the havoc the climate emergency is wreaking where you live.

Why would Scientific American want to needlessly pump fear? Well, the alleged cure for our alleged ailments is... all the things that leftists have always wanted to do anyway. Little Hitlers in this thread seem to be licking their lips at the possibility of having some good reason to control the lives of others.

This thread is a good example of one of the psychoses that grips HN. Doomsday cultists thinking themselves sophisticated and elevated in morality.
I would think a vehicle is a better analogy.

This car has tires, you create, delete and patch them. It also has an axels, gas tank, etc.

You can get a dock on Gnome via any number of plugins. Manjaro ships with one out of the box, if I recall.
Agreed, with a thought:

I actually think that Facebook's business model was premised on the Steve Carell movie, "Dinner for Schmucks," where a tool originally designed to signal you went to an ivy school got that cohort on board, and then invited everyone else for as kind of a cruel joke where they didn't know they were only the entertainment. Now the party's long over and the only people left are loud drunks yelling at each other and couples acting out some very public domestics.

Imo, there is no solution to those platforms' moderation problems, only management into something even more banal and worthy of disruption.
Hard no.
Wouldn’t this work?

Huh? The battery on every MacBook is replaceable

A glued in battery on any laptop/tablet/phone is awful. My sister replaced her battery on her 2011 MacBook Air and used it just fine for a decade. Didn’t need to replace any of the other parts.
God I hope they abandon this.
Thanks for the reply! You didn't quite completely answer my first question. Why does the "sync" server have an exposed port? I'm going based on the docker-compose.yml you provide.
They (policies) are not; the wireguard issue was an anomaly. Policy was debated and revised shortly (inside of 2wk IIRC) after.

I talk to my friends, parents, and family about it a lot. They don't understand it, but they do care. Problem is that they don't understand how to fight back. They do not want to give up on Facebook. They also are afraid to switch to a service like Signal because "no one is there." So I think they care, but there's a big sense of helplessness. Honestly that's why I like projects like Signal. There's no way I can get people to use PGP through emails, it is too much work. But anyone can use something like Signal.

I had it near the beginning and it was terrible. Should have been in the hospital. Did not go for a number of reasons, and a big one was capacity and isolation. Early treatment was rough too.

My fam ended up with it. Was early enough we just did not do what we needed to do. So we all were down for that month.

Outcome?

Ended up being ultra conservative about it. Still am. Older people in my life are at risk. And our symptoms were no joke. Mine were the worst of the family.

That said, my experience is similar. I see way more people failing to be at least prudent about it.

Many just do not want to be bothered, and or feel strong motivation to grab onto any rationale that can keep them active.

I don't blame them. The lock down really sucks.
Colds are a bit different because of how many different viruses cause them. SARS-CoV-2 is still a single virus for some definitions of "single" and "different."
The OP had identified problems with the existing approach, and proposed a concrete solution in detail. Dismissing that with a pithy quote because it vaguely matches a common pattern is low effort and needlessly dismissive. The quote stinks anyway. Unix is not the pinnacle of computing.
It's hard to know what you don't know. Let's say, objectively you know 10 of 100 "facts" of Discipline X. But given you're a novice you believe the universe of X is say only 50 "facts." Naturally, from where you stand your 10 now doubled in value. So I would think the problem isn't the overestimation or overvalue per se. 10 is still 10. It's that you've underestimated the size of the X universe thus making your perception of the piece of pie feel bigger than it really is.

If that makes sense.

The key is to be aware that there are things you don't yet know, and not let your ignorance get the best of you.
Every time this has come up I’ve seen people point out that there were methodological problems with the study that found such high seroprevalence, and that plus the fact that there’s still few actual concrete documented reinfections - even as the P1 variant has spread around the world - or the fact that there’s no evidence P1 escapes any of the vaccines designed for wildtype (of course, the immune system is complicated!), at least points in the direction that there never was a 76% infection rate in Manaus.
