Leveraging a historical perspective (not a judgement about "good" or "bad" or "should" or "shouldn't", just an observation), the world really might not return to accepting a respiratory virus as an act of nature.

For example, dumping fecal matter into streams was the norm (still the norm in many places today). Arguably it was and is still considered "an act of nature". However, the modern appetite for such behavior is considered unethical/immoral (unless left with no other options).

This story regarding personal and group health vs personal freedom and choice (or ignorance through accidents/neglect) repeats many times in history. Arguably each article of clothing was at one time a unique and major health/wellness conversation within the culture, and either won out or that clothing was lost to time. Similarly in home plumbing (a home without running water is considered immoral), contributing towards smoke/smog in cities is considered immoral, etc.

It seems likely that both masks, and accidentally getting a respiratory virus (including the cold/flu - given its death toll) could flip into the immoral bucket forever regardless of the impact to "personal freedoms". I'm not smart enough to know which way it will go or which way it should go.

Which ever way it ends up falling, I hope we come out with a healthier society for our bodies, but also for our psyches.
> Their sworn enemy, Israel, has nuclear capability

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/sworn...
Sworn enemies are people who will always hate each other.

Israel has no issue with Iran or Iranians in general, nor are Israel's policies particularly harmful to Iran.

Iran doesn't want a deterrent, they want to commit an act of genocide against Israel and the Jewish people.

Don't make a false equivalence about this.
Nice! Not to be all jaded, but there’s one of these services launching per month (week?) these days.

Some are free (but then usually poor quality), others cost money (usually with some resolution limited freebie or credits-on-signup).

I run clippingmagic.com, which launched here on hn almost eight years ago now - time flies [1].

We were #1 until the recent surge in DL-based solutions. It’s more fun to be the disruptor, but getting disrupted sure brought some renewed focus - competition works ;)

Just updated our DL model - old dogs take a while, but we finally did get a fully automatic solution including hair, which means we’re the only option with both good full auto and an editor.

Hopefully the market will eventually notice that none of the solutions work 100%, and that a smart editor can really close the loop.

Download it onto a device that you leave in the perimeter when you take your little absence? Doh.

The app tracks where the device is, not where you are.
You might say that well I’m no worse off than before which is true but still feels weird that I was unable to use my existing riot im account when I wanted to sign into Mozilla’s riot server. I ended up creating a different login for Mozilla’s riot.

Because the private phone is the one the person wants not to be without when they go on their three hour lunch.

But that is actually wrong.

Suppose I have two devices: work and personal. Suppose I have the choice where to install this thing.

I'm going to put it on my personal one, and leave that at my post while I go for that three hour luch. I will take the work device, so I can monitor what is going on at work, and be prepared to scurry back on a moment's notice.

Ideally, I would get some second personal device for this app, like an old phone I no longer use. Leave that at work, and go for the three hour lunch with both the work device and the non-decoy personal one.
the way I understood it, against a living virus there are different types of responses, some more effective than others, the duration and effectiveness of the protection may depend on which response your body mounted

whereas with the vaccine there is more control over which response is being triggered
The more nations that have nukes the more risk of something terrible happening with them. Having said that Iran has shown itself to be a rational actor; and there is no way it survives a nuclear conflict.

The entire world, including Iran, learned a lot of lessons from the cold war; and so are unlikely to repeat the same mistakes that made us almost stumble into a nuclear war then.

On the other hand, nuclear weapons have a remarcable history in maintaining (relative) world piece. It isn't a gamble I would willingly take, but Iran becoming a nuclear power might be a path to piece in the middle east.
As an iOS and MacOS Developer myself, this doesn’t surprise me but it still infuriates me. Over the years, I have realized that the app review is extremely inconsistent and also the rules are applied differently to different developers. While I have no proof of whether Apple is allowing this simply because it’s a high grossing app, I do know that Apple treats the big company apps like Facebook, Uber, Twitter and Reddit differently.

The update logs are a perfect example. I have had updates rejected (rightfully) because my update logs were too vague and there’s a rule against vague useless update logs.

But the same standard never applies to FB, Twitter etc. FB’s update logs are always vague and two lines of “We update the app often to fix bugs and improve features.” Even when they are using updates to lets say remove features or add features.

People often try to excuse this by saying “big companies have too many A-B tests etc. But that makes it worse. A big company should be held to an even higher standard than the ordinary pleb developer like me.

Another example is when Apple gave special privileges to Uber’s app:

It’s a BIG CLUB and you and I ain’t in it.
It's no CFAA violation:

"This section does not prohibit any lawfully authorized investigative, protective, or intelligence activity of a law enforcement agency of the United States, a State, or a political subdivision of a State, or of an intelligence agency of the United States."

18 U.S.C. § 1030(f).

DOJ obtained authorization here, most likely under Fed. R. Crim. P. 41(b)(6)(B)--which, interestingly enough, cross-references the CFAA.

No, it’s not a very legitimate approach to suggest for most folks. Sure, you have a right to do that yourself, as long as you don’t infect anyone else. But the negative long-term side effects are risky enough that it wouldn’t be good to suggest that most people try it. Additionally, the reason it was not suggested by the “talking heads” was to avoid people infecting their elderly relatives, who are much more likely to die.

You’d have to have pretty definitive evidence to suggest that getting COVID is equivalent to getting the vaccine in terms of positives. The cons of getting COVID itself are way worse for most people than just getting the vaccine.

While I would never want to use a malware of an anticheat, you're not quite right about Linux. EAC works on Linux, however it does not work through Proton. The developers must release a Linux build themselves if you want to use it. The effect is the same because they frequently don't bother to do so of course
> These subtle adjustments of the 3D space are being applied volumetrically, as can be seen from the way the occlusion paths in the scene are changing. This demonstrates that the FOVO process is not simply ‘warping’ a 2D render in screen space but is applying nonlinear transformations to the entire 3D geometry.

I think this is an inexact hack to implement FOVO in rasterization engines. If raytracing were used, there would be no need to distort the geometry; you'd only need to distort the camera rays.

I am not sure on any prior case law on this, but there's examples in the real world if you leave a dangerous attractive nuisance out in the public space, where it could potentially be harmful to people or animals. Local law enforcement or civic-minded citizens will remove it. It could be argued that leaving exposed outlook web access rooted systems out there for anyone to use on the public internet is not too dissimilar.

On a federal level? If you leave an abandoned ship leaking toxic chemicals anchored somewhere in a bay, don't be surprised if the USCG, a federal law enforcement agency, comes and seizes it...
Is it really that realistic though? I’ve always heard that those salaries are extremely rare and that getting to those levels involves some extremely cuthroat competition.
The UI/UX standards have definitely gone out the window. From strange and inconsistent margins in iOS to the strange icon designs in the Big Sur update.

So the points are are "Iran started the enmity" and "Iran is worse than the other countries." I have a hard time buying either. Wouldn't the nakba be the original source of enmity created by the state of Israel between it and the Muslim nations? In any case, who started it doesn't change the ground geopolitical realties that must be solved for us to achieve a world with active peace.

I am absolutely no defender of the enormous amount of violence that Iran's supply of rebel groups and militias in the region has caused. But I have a hard time ranking these crimes, and their internal oppression vs Israel's apartheid state vs the Saudi's internal oppression and funding of militias and rebel groups vs the US's war in Iraq, where between half a million and a million people died.

It's unclear to me what you mean by the "culture" of Iran? Do you mean their political religiosity? I don't find that a convincing source of differentiation between them and other countries in the region. Israeli Zionism, Saudi Wahabbism, etc.
Fascinating thx
Wait, is WebAssembly known to be insecure? This is news to me.
Like many other professionals, their services are only valueable if you value your time.

I don’t want to become an expert in real estate. I just want a place that matches my needs, has the right mojo, and fits my budget. I have time to see 3 places.

Well, their opinion could be that Bitcoin is extremely wasteful and damaging to our environment for very little value, and so they do not want to support any organization that supports Bitcoin. A boycott, if you will.

I’m not arguing that position but I’m just saying that if that is the case, then their boycott is more reasonable than say a “stickers” boycott.
In short it's a a hard problem and area of active research.

Stablecoin mechanisms have tradeoffs whether that's being on a public blockchain, a centralised party, collateral risk or lack of privacy. Monero is the current gold standard when it comes to privacy but trades off speed (confirmation blocks), mobile friendliness and a volatile price. On the other end of the spectrum Tether is very stable but is produced by a centralised entity and is on a public blockchain.

From Moxie's 2017 interview (https://www.wired.com/story/mobilecoin-cryptocurrency/) we can safely assume that their list of requirements existed from the start (MobileCoin didn't have much to show at this point). Since then it's been public knowledge and since the market cap of MobileCoin is dictated by the market so I'm not sure about your penny stock comment, it seems more sensible to direct criticism at their lack of distribution transparency.
I think the nature of the work is a bit different though. Truck driving is an inherently geospatial and logistical industry, as well as a regulated one in the sense that employers have to make sure their drivers are resting. Likewise, client value is also derived from knowing exactly where their delivery is, if it's delayed, where it's delayed, etc.. Also the trucks are often owned by the company, so they're at the very least just keeping tabs on their assets.

This is different than say, a software developer's computer tracking their location for purely surveillance reasons.
But isn’t that the primary reason Apple claims to want to maintain the walled garden and build “idiot proof” products - because they realize many people easily get fooled and spend money on scams?
A lot better than other BSDs as well (although I much prefer reading the NetBSD code).

Admittedly, I can’t speak to how it compares to OpenBSD docs as I’ve never really bothered with OpenBSD

DragonflyBSD is cool, but documentation is rough and a lot of it seems to be from old FreeBSD components modified for its speciality. I will say the primary developer is an exceptionally nice person who’s helped me a time or two on the irc.
It wasn't my comment, it was someone else's comment. I just disagree with this decision in particular, for the stated reasons, which also elaborate on why I think this would have been a valuable topic of discussion. dang can choose to incorporate that (e.g. if indication is that others feel the same), or ignore it.
Same here all my colleagues use it, but I don't see any advantages except maybe for the built-in split view.
I would bet you good money it was driven by some sort of rel test (drop, vibration, etc.). Glue can be a lifesaver when the design isn't passing. No manufacturing engineer will want to add an adhesive step to the assembly just to make things more difficult for end users.

That’s exactly what Epic, for example is asking for.

Last time was the EBook settlement.

Erm, you do realize that these technologies have nothing to do with preventing scam apps in stores, right?

>> Even if a store did exist that was less scammy than Apple’s, it simply wouldn’t have everything a customer wanted anyway.

> A claim with zero evidence.

No evidence because we are talking about something in the future, but irrelevant because this is just a logical truth that flows from your premise.

The counterclaim, that a single scam free store would have all of the apps in it is obviously false because the premise is a future with multiple stores.
If your team has GPG keys (they should if they're signing Git commits) then pass works great for teams as well. You can encrypt to multiple GPG key IDs so many users and decrypt passwords from a shared git repo.

If you had 30 SPI devices, you'd probably use a small FPGA to address them all (produce all the chip selects as needed). Basically, write an integer (e.g. 5 bits would do for 30 selects) and a strobe and you're good to go. No address conflicts, ever. And very fast.

The unfortunate downside of your approach which has proven to be so deadly for us with COVID is when you’re spreading it without symptoms for many days. If our goal as a society is to ensure most people stay healthy and alive, perhaps yours is not a good approach in all cases.

Of course not. I'm using CFAA as a moral definition of hacking, not legal. I'd be amazed if this doesn't lead to warrants issued that enable search & seizure on domestic individuals and corporations.

Probably a regional / marketing thing. Certainly it was "Spotswood" in Australia and New Zealand at the time of release. Spotswood is the name the Melbourne suburb where the film is set. I don't think I've ever been to Spotswood, but I have been to neighbouring Williamstown and I recall there was a commercial slot car racing layout in a retail location above a shop. This was 15 years ago so probably long gone. I remember wondering whether there was a connection to the movie, some kind of local slot car culture of some kind.

I once had a very bad idea to create a UEFI application that was basically a RDP client (for the hell of it ofc)

People are mad about whatsapp because it used to be a good platform that they now feel compelled to abandon. I don't think people have any particular allegiance to fb messenger—it exists and is something to be tolerated.

the whole "but the privacy policy changes weren't that bad!!!" to which I say: it was simply the straw that broke the camel's back. People didn't want their metadata harvestsed by FB, and this was a convenient time to jump.

FB apologists will be quick to note that FB had access to WA metadata for years unless if you dug through some menus for an opt-out button (now removed). I have no clue how they think this is a compelling argument.

Just because the dam hasn't broken yet doesn't mean that you can't keep chizzling away at it. eventually it'll break. I'd argue that WA would have never been in this mess if they stayed as an arms-length corporation and were left to their own devices. But no: FB has an immediate desire to gather the biggest heap of user data possible. As they should: it's how they make their money. But that doesn't mean people aren't allowed protest.

If you are using an email to sign up and verifying that user actually controls email as is normal presumably they could look up the bond with your email.

Essentially registrar and major sites would coordinate to get bot accounts revoked your registrar wouldn't want to cancel user accounts erroneously. In most cases logically the registrar could be your email provider which would just be selling a verified email address but a third party could offer the same thing.
Just checking in to say I'm loving my Oryx Pro ~1 year later. It's been a fantastic system (I wrote about it when I first got it[0]), and although I use it more as a desktop (it sits on my desktop attached to two monitors with the lid closed) it has been a workhorse for me.

The software and drivers also work fantastically, and are open source -- I've even contributed a line or two.

BTW I use arch :). But I mention that to say it works great on Arch too.

System76 may have actually bring about the era of the linux-first desktop/laptop, and I'm glad I bought it instead of a Lenovo.
