Tariffs. Sanctions. Embargoes.
Precisely my point. I'm being instructed to believe something as though politics are a new faith.

Moderation thus far is QED.
Very interesting. Thanks for taking the time to reply, I am always interested to hear different use cases to my own.

Hopefully things improve as Apple Silicon becomes better supported over the next few months.
I set up a Matrix server for my family, and then bridged in everyone else I know who uses iMessage. Now at least I'm chatting in a single app.
Pass already supports multiple keys. What does prs do differently?
> Probably the worst possible damage a person can do to the enviroment is to have children

Sure, let's nuke the whole world and get rid of the human species to save the environment! What a wonderful take.
Pew surveys actually say that people who are not progressive westerners actually care at a higher rate. It will seem weird but then you realize that more of them have agricultural-centric economies.
The SameSite cookie policy doesn't offer fine-grained control like CORS. So, if you want to allowlist cookies for certain third-party origins but not all, CORS would be a better option.

In practice, most sites want to prevent all cross-origin requests and SameSite is easier.

And in more recent practice, Safari and Firefox are blocking third-party cookies by default, so it's pretty rare to see a setup leveraging CORS for fine-grained cookie access.
Uh... yes it does? Both present an single inactive/non-dangerous molecule to the body against which it can develop an immune response using its own toolkit. Tetanus toxoid is synthesized externally where the covid spike protein is done by the body via introduced mRNA, but the immune system is doing the same job.

Not a ton, but initial studies do seem to suggest they push people from "executing on a plan with the means to do so" to not. Some recent meta-analysis I read seemed to indicate there needs to be more research done, but it's not something you really want to A/B test.

Per Wikipedia: there are 7.3 deaths per 1 billion km driven in the USA. About 7 million J&J doses have been delivered. One person has died as a result of blood clots thought to be related to the vaccine.

If we assume an average of 32km round trip to get to a vaccination site (~10 miles each way). Statistically speaking at least one person has died driving in their car to get the vaccine. The same number as from the vaccine.

I couldn't find good stats on serious injuries per km driven, but I suspect it's an order of magnitude higher than deaths per km. Your risk of dying on your way to get the vaccine is the same as your risk of dying from the vaccine. You are, almost certainly, far more likely to be seriously injured on your way to get the vaccine than you are from the vaccine.

Nobody asks anybody else to “worship science”. Even the phrase does not make any sense. Believe it or not, you can know that something works without worshiping it. In fact, you can spend your whole life without worshiping anything.
I happen to like kids and want someone to bury me in the right plot that was already set-aside (in basically the middle of nowhere). We also need some people sensible enough to fix the damage done to the Earth by the reckless and selfish generations of FF burners, meat eaters, jet-setting frequent-fliers, long-distance/single-occupant car commuters, and concrete pourers who came before.
A full country worth of electricity is worth nothing if you produce electricity anyway with coal and fossil fuels.
I can explore node_modules with ls.
You could post the links yourself and let the hivemind decide.
and xfce supports using a tiling window manager and keeping the rest of the desktop environment, which makes it perfect for my needs.
6 deaths? I thought it was 1 death and 5 serious injuries?
The total cost of electricity used is limited by revenue from the block reward, 6.25 Bitcoins every ten minutes. (And transaction fees.) So a government wouldn’t need to shut it down, just make the market crash.

And that might be possible by getting people and businesses that don’t cheat on their taxes to sell any holdings with something like a wealth tax.
I know in the US it's the opposite with higher suicide rates in more rural areas.
There are a few things that they've never even tried, and would be obvious for the type of folks that use linux. High resolution and power efficiency are two of them that almost everyone wants.
No, I’m talking about the actual data or content I created using the app.
There are some countries with an upside down population pyramid and it isn't the end of the world. Certainly less apocalyptic than most climate change scenarios.
Not quite. A federal judge authorized the FBI to act. Not my area of practice, but seems odd - maybe akin to an ex parte tro?
To be fair, the response in South East Asia was considerably better and more collective-minded than what any European or North American state achieved.

Which still doesn't bode super well for a coordinated global response to the climate emergency. But it does point to which areas of the world are likely to manage the best while the rest of us descend into chaos and anarchy.
Yeah this is definitely true but hopefully their repeated payments would help to offset that cost. And maybe some kind of ip or email based banning or account flagging could make moderation easier or account recreation more inconvenient.
George Carlin nailed it: https://youtu.be/7W33HRc1A6c
What is with this Bitcoin & infinite renewables fantasy? You want to compare Bitcoin to resource use of paper money, and then claim Bitcoin's electricity use is anyway irrelevant since humanity could theoretically harvest almost infinite energy from sun (someone just needs to build and maintain the infrastructure.)

Meanwhile in reality, Bitcoin's security and value is actually backed by the very scarcity of electricity (computing power) you want to deny, and almost all Bitcoin is mined with the dirtiest, cheapest and most climate unfriendly energy available: Chinese coal.
I might have missed something upthread but autogenerated keys to me just mean that the key is somehow generated automatically for you rather than using a natural key like social security number (SSAN) when inserting rows. Autoincrement IDs are one way of autogenerating a key that delegates generation to the DBMS server.

To expand on this, there are three common approaches to create automatic keys in SQL applications.

1.) Generate it in the application itself. You can make UUIDs yourself with a simple call in most languages. Ensuring uniqueness is your problem--to generate integers, for example, you'll need some sort of coordination if there's more than one application thread.

2.) Generate it from a SEQUENCE. Sequences are database-side key generators that hand back a unique sequence number from a block of available sequence numbers when you call for the next number. Uniqueness is pretty much guaranteed since numbers come from the shared database server. This approach is popular in PostgreSQL and Oracle.

3.) Generate it from an auto-increment column, such as MySQL AUTO_INCREMENT columns. Auto-increment columns generate the key server-side at insert time. Uniqueness is guaranteed, but you can't see the key until it has been inserted. If you need to know the key for follow-on INSERT or UPDATE commands you have to select it back using LAST_INSERT_ID(). [1] Auto-increment keys are popular in MySQL.

ORMs like Hibernate JPA tend to provide all of these as choices. I don't use ORMs much myself hence can't comment much on the details.

That argument hinges entirely on the assumption that the militaries ceased to exist if the US Dollar and other currencies were all replaced by Bitcoin, i.e. that our monetary system is the only reason for the states, or even the concept of sovereignty itself, to exist.
Node introduced the "global" object instead of using the existing "window" object the pre-existed in all browsers.
Does it discuss the neocortex in animals? AFAIK they tend to have one but for most non-primates it is much more limited.

Based on your example that would seem to explain why in dog training for example environmental context is far more important than it is in humans. A dog that sits and downs at home might act like it has no idea what you want in the park until you train a bit in the new context.
Alternative question: Why does every client need it?
Teaching people to be tracked is always a bad thing. If a janitor isn't doing their job then it will become evident quickly enough or their manager isn't paying attention and both will eventually be fired. Not everything has to be done and observed down to the microsecond.
It seems otherwise to me. I don’t read many articles in Scientific American, but I recall they endorsed Joe Biden for president last year (it was posted on HN.) My understanding of American politics is that many Republican voters oppose publications that openly support Democratic candidates. Here we have such a publication making a pronouncement about what could be a bipartisan initiative, and it seems like the publication’s political history could influence Republican voters to dismiss the emergency wording.

Laziness is a problem, but I don’t see a problem with a comment speculating that popular behavior will occur using and using fewer words to explain the potential mechanism than I did.

Happy to accept criticism of this explanation of the user’s opinion, how it could be more clear, etc.
An example is the House of Saud. They are incredibly wealthy, but I believe Forbes doesn't look at _families_ only _individuals_, even if, say, the head of the family would technically make the list.

Also, they're unlikely to put out public accounting statements
agreed, but that's the inevitable conclusion of any inquiry into solving climate change. Should we therefore do nothing? Probably not. But again, i won't elaborate.
If buying, selling or owning bitcoins were illegal in the US and for US companies, I guarantee trade in bitcoin would plummet and mining would wind-up using a small fraction of the energy it uses today.

The only bad thing about bitcoin is its electricity consumption.

There's also the way it allows those with access to energy they don't own to launder that access into money. Plus facilitating all manner of illegal activities (and I'm favor of making some things, like drugs, legal. Tax evasion or murder-for-hire, not so much).
> I really dislike how it feels scientists are positioning themselves into politics more and more.

When you are aware of a major emergency coming our collective way, it is your duty to try and avoid it or mitigate its consequences. Any other behaviour would be unethical.

> I have less and less confidence that journals are attempting to describe and report without bias.

If you are talking about mainstream media, then fair enough. They most often suck at reporting science.

If you are talking about scientific journals, then at least I haven’t seen a major shift in “subjectivity”. Bearing in mind that any piece of writing is unavoidably subjective by nature. Science does not depend on individual scientists being perfectly objective people.

> Maybe it's because I hadn't read anything but tech related white papers pre-covid, but reading a ton of research during covid really lowered my expectations for the standard to which publishing scientists hold themselves to.

This has always been the case (ignoring the manure in predatory journal and obvious résumé padding). One article in itself is meaningless. Something can be considered probable if it has been validated separately by independent people. In case of global warming, an awful lot has been.

If you want to gauge the opinion of experts in a given field, it is more useful to read reviews or monographs than articles, which are always going to be limited in scope.
Speaking as a hiring manager, it totally is from the point of the view of the business.

I don't need 100% of my hires able to handle 100% of the tasks. I have specialists at every level anyway; if I need someone writing data structure libraries I will focus on hiring for that. Most of what I, and most software shops need, is not that.

"The fact that most developers don't have a basic understanding etc" - citation needed. Most developers do. Even those untrained. But I don't need a developer to have reviewed data structure pedantry prior to an interview; I need developers that know they don't know everything, and know how to find answers.

"We put up with slow, bloated, and inadequate software because blah blah blah" - no, we put up with it because the market doesn't care about it. All the pressures on a business are features; speed is immaterial past a certain point.
> not just from a GDPR perspective but a business perspective too - if a competitor can get a list of all your clients and send them brochures with 10% discount on your prices, you'll close down pretty quick.

Link to this ever happening pre-GDPR?
Since they resell Clevo designs, they'll definitely offer such a laptop but it may take them a few more months to have one available.

They seem to be several months behind new hardware launches, which as I understand is partially because their value-add is rigorous testing and hardware support for linux. They will often patch or back port the newest kernel for the latest drivers.
I don’t think apple would ever adopt such a solution willingly. And I doubt regulations will require them to
Omnicidal and suicidal thoughts are multiplying as people lose hope in the future and their future specifically.

I remember being bitten by an RDS update, running in ap-southeast-2.

Took out a few of our production databases, seems like Australia is the beta testing region for at least a few services.

At least in the US you have the choice of other regions.
What I think most of the comments here are missing is that the hardware/software integration is this product's USP. Of course, anyone can mount an iPad on a stationary bike and play a game – that's a solved problem.

What Playpulse seems to be doing here is integrating the entertainment and the exercise, to the point where your pedal speed affects variables in-game, and in-game feedback changes your pedal resistance. Personally, I'm happy to just watch YouTube while working out, but I can see how gamifying your spin session could make it more engaging.
Beyond all the technical issues with this—and there are many—the product just doesn't make sense.

In the US, bank transfers are a pain. The credentials needed to send someone money are the same ones needed to take their money, and in any case, they often take several business days. So nobody uses them, instead preferring a whole industry of apps to do "that, but easier": Apple Cash, Cash App, Venmo, Zelle, all the features built into messaging apps.

On the other hand, the UK's Faster Payments system just works; you give someone your account number, they punch it into their bank's app, and the money goes through instantly. None of the aforementioned apps work in the UK, because nobody needs them. Bank transfers work well enough.

So the value proposition here is "Instead of sending someone a bank transfer, you can send us a bank transfer, send the coins to someone via Signal, then have them turn it back into real money via bank transfer. Also, be quick, since the coins are volatile and might lose value if you don't turn them back into real money quickly enough." I can't see how anyone would use that. (Sure, it might be more private, so people who really need it could use it. But Signal's whole value proposition is building privacy-protecting tools that are usable enough that they'll be used even by people who don't need the privacy feature per se.)

It's a feature designed by Americans for Americans, but released in a market where it doesn't make sense.

(Disclaimer: I'm am American in their first year as a student at a UK university. I think my understanding of the UK cultural issues here are decent, but I could be wrong.)
Have you actually measured it? I’ve had production workloads in us-east-1 for over a decade and haven’t seen it be notably different than the other regions. There’ve been a handful of times where there’s been a truly regional outage (17 minutes of network connectivity in 2011) and a couple of broader service outages (S3, IAM), but it’s not like the other regions never have problems.

In general most of the time when I’ve heard people say “us-east-1 is unreliable” it’s ended up that they’re really telling you that they were in just one AZ, thought the RDS multiple AZ mode was too expensive, etc. and standard architectural guidance would have taken care of it.
Easy, as with any other thing that is imported: import duties collected by the banks and exchanges. And if you convert it into currency or goods overseas, there is also going to be a duty on that (if there isn't already).

This is the autobiography of John C Lilly, and Antoneita Lilly.

“Description

The Dyadic Cyclone comprises the combination of two personal centres, a male and female combination - two rotating cyclones with their enclosed centres, centres which merge in such a way that there can be a rising, quiet centre shared by both.

Summary

The Dyadic cyclone is the combination of two personal centres. In this book it is a male and female combination -- two rotating cyclones with their enclosed centres, one rotating to the right and the other rotating to the left. In The Dyadic Cyclone, Toni and John ask the question 'Is it possible to merge two centres, two cyclones, one male, one female, in such a way that there can be a rising, quiet centre shared by both?' In our five years together, we have sought means to achieve this between us. This book is the story of that five years insofar as we can tell it at this time.”
The statement says they were authorized to send commands to vulnerable servers through the exploited services/webshells which removed said webshells from the system.
Every time I read an argument like that, I wonder whether the author actually looked into how cryptocurrencies work.

They have burning of resources built in. Proof of work, their primary mechanism so far, is literally: Waste energy on meaningless computations, until you hit a "lucky" one, with all previous computations having no inherent value themselves.

Physical currencies don't have this inefficiency built into their core. In fact, unlike cryptocurrencies, it's in everyone's best interest to make the currency's operation as efficient as possible.
the idea that people follow Science is pure fiction. Nobody does Science: you only hear about Science through other humans talking about it, and mostly misinformed ones (like journalists) or people with a political agenda (WHO obviously lying about everything COVID related during the first months of the epidemic). Also, "Science" is not a static state, it's ever-moving with new discoveries and topics that end up being revised over time as more data coming in.

Science is not dogma.

Declaring a war on bitcoin would be as futile as War on Drugs and the Prohibition. Might as well embrace it, try to tax and regulate it, and move the revenue from it to worthwhile initiatives that can buy humanity more time.

Having said that, in an ideal world, I’d agree with you and say we should shutdown bitcoin and all other activity that’s superfluous to humanity’s struggle against climate change. Industrialized meat production is out. International air travel is out. Raising all other product prices according to the climate externalities they cause. Doubly or triply replanting the forests in the Amazon and elsewhere. It’s gonna take sacrifices now to prevent suffering later, if we’re going to make it past this potential Great Filter.
The problem is that some uses of electricity are beneficial to society (e.g. keeping refrigerators running to prevent food spoilage). Others are detrimental to society (e.g. bitcoin's existence, allowing for the rise of ransomware). Raising the price uniformly across all uses does disincentivize the use of electricity, but some of that may be by not being able to have beneficial uses of electricity.

I agree that raiding individual mining locations is counterproductive. Instead, go after the exchanges, where bitcoin is exchanged for real money. Without an economic incentive to mine bitcoin, the mining would slow down and stop.
And I thought zombie movies were so unrealistic. Truth is stranger than fiction.
Apps in the Apple App Store must meet usability and standardization guidelines, and are deeply integrated into the OS. As a simple example that came up recently, all the payments on the phone go through Apple, so the payment process is the same cross ecosystem. While that is a point of discussion in the monopoly debate, it’s undeniably a simpler experience on the user side - and that translates to easy support. I don’t have to consider it it’s stripe or PayPal or freedompay or anything else when mom calls and wants help buying premium, payments just work.

With an open app ecosystem all guarantees of standardization or not using private APIs or (ideally) the app has been somewhat vetted are out the window.
While those are cool open source projects, Googles actual products are the things that suck. Take GCP - they don't really dogfood ANYTHING. They still run half their stuff in borg! AWS dogfoods almost all of their services. The polish and integrations speak for themselves.

And look at their other product lines - android, communication apps, etc. They are generally a mess besides their absolute core offerings (Gmail, gdrive, and maps)

How is it that the "best engineers" in the world can't make good products?
I want a tool like this, but I don't think I can ever be ok with leaking meta data.
My assumption is that people have cheap high power ~50 mw rated green laser pointers of questionable origin. The green is generated by optical pumping with an IR laser. Unscrupulous manufacturers omit an IR filter, allowing the much more powerful IR beam to also pass. This is problematic because the laser eye protection you're supposed to buy to match the green wavelength wont protect your eyes from this. Anyway given the number of beams it seems like there could conceivably be enough power delivered to overheat or damage something.
No dock thanks. But I like the menu to open on corner and super key.
