Kids are competent to decide to take hormones during puberty now, but not competent to decide who they talk to online?

Anyone think Facebook et al haven't already got profiles that know how our kids feel about their sexuality better than we do?
I've got a lot more money tied up in rocks than I'd like to admit. And I don't have any particularly nice specimens. I just buy what makes me happy. I pay $5-$30 per specimen. There's a lot of things I would like to buy in the $100-$1000 range, but they just don't make me that much happier than my little cheap rocks.

Even just getting riding lessons is $30/hour in a cheap area in a low-cost facility. You can get a good horse for free, but board is $250/month, $500 for everything you need if you buy it used, plus vet and farrier bills. Definitely a higher initial cost and I sure don't buy $250 of rocks a month.

But I don't think rocks are somehow more serious than horses. There's a lot to know about each and there's a ton of money to be spent on either. I honestly think it's just a culture thing. Horses come with status traditionally and rock collectors tend to just like rocks and then drinking a beer and talking about rocks. There's lots of down-to-earth horse owners and I'm sure there's some pompous asses in the rock collecting world. They just don't seem to be the majority.
Let’s not forget, this is the same guy who pitched Box at the Ira Sohn investment conference (Hear him explain his “best idea”, 2018: https://youtu.be/PBjDyFKgDzg).

He is a great talker, great hype man, possibly a great growth marketer, but he is certainly not a great investor.
AOL had me early. I think you know what happened.
> Kids are competent to decide to take hormones during puberty now, but not competent to decide who they talk to online?

So what you're saying is, children should only be allowed to use Instagram under a doctor's supervision?
adequate technical talent, at a large enough scale, is a commodity, they were already very successful before the facebook acquisition.
Weren't 19th-century treadmills basically the climbing machines you've been praising?

Actually Australia was not part of the breach.
A common way to dodge accountability is to exaggerate the size of the enemy and his cleverness and goodness he had 1000 developers working on it.

Nonetheless, there are some things that are kind of impressive. Inserting their own code into the build process without touching any file.

But the real level of skill, I think, is the operational discipline exercised by the attackers. For example, waiting two weeks before doing anything, erasing traces of what they did, and targeting very specific sites.
It sucks but you can't just get bonuses for trying hard, especially when your company is on the verge of collapse or getting bought up for scraps. It's not always fair but in this case, the OP was still getting a good salary. They decided to take a risk together with their employer and it didn't pan out as well as they'd have liked.

Happens all the time.
Introducing Accelerate
Doesn't this require the degradation of the zinc and copper plates that are required for it to work?
Don't conflate physical and logical, in this case we don't care about the physical dimensions, only how the logic is expressed. Even a 2D function can be expressed in N-dimensional parameters, such as

y = a1 * x + a2 * x^2 + a3 * x^3 + a4 * x^4

where you only have one input and one output, but 4 constants that can be adjusted. These 4 constants make up a 4D vector.
Yeah super wierd, can't make any sense of it at all

The point of the quote is not about a specific technology, it’s that regardless of what technology you use if it’s limited to a single machine you’ll eventually run out of resources.
Do you think cigarettes and Instagram are comparable products?
Couldn't have possibly picked a more sensationalist headline, now could we?
Remember those things are non-blocking.. for users who do not care, it is just another bar at the top they can ignore and proceed with their life.

Also from a "user privacy" point of view, this is still OK. Right now, disabling webgl is so rare it makes the user stand out a lot, and can be used as a tracking signal. Also, websites do not expect this to be disabled, and can break.

But if a non-trivial fraction of the users (say 10%) start refusing WebGL, then websites have to keep working without it; and the fact that it is disabled can no longer be used as tracking indicator.
But "emotional manipulation" may already be happening by using the website. If the user gave consent to that, I don't see what difference the act of gathering scientific data makes. Your argument seems to be against the current bar of consent that facebook and similar sites are required to get.
The energy is coming from metals rather than the potato. The potato simply links them allowing their ions to react and create an electric potential.
HDMI supports chroma subsampling which is a form of lossy compression.
they can leave. it's a risky investment
Yes, in the sense that they are both products that should not be marketed to kids.
The issue with your question is that the dimensions of the configuration space and the physical form aren’t even approximately the same thing. Take, for example, a 100x100 grayscale image. It’s a flat image; the physical dimensions are 2. There are 10,000 different pixels though, and they are all allowed to vary independently of each other; the configuration-space dimensions are 10,000. Neurons are like the pixels in this analogy, not like the the physical dimensions.
Why We Chose to Try Ingenuity Helicopter’s 1st Flight on Mars on Monday
Yes and no.

Peleton should redesign the treadmill. It is needlessly hazardous, and a few small changes could easily remedy the problem without compromising the envelope of functionality for the device.

But: I absolutely hate modern appliances with egregious safety buffers, as to reduce their functional envelope down to precisely what the designers imagined, and nothing more.

Also, and I realize this is an unpopular stance: Danger is important for children.

I'm not suggesting that we need to start giving kids industrial metal saws or machine guns as soon as they can walk, but we do need to stop hiding them from the world. Kids need to learn how to live their lives, and that means getting hurt and learning from it.

Our job as engineers is, within the above limits, to try and keep those lessons from being lethal, disfiguring, or crippling.
Beetroots (may help with O2 saturation _when_ infected) are late and the UV lamp will be better inside of air filter outside of your body to not let the infection happen in the first place - light waves doesn't pass through the human body anyway - but other waves can.

There it is: the resonance frequency of the virus ( https://www.livescience.com/7472-kill-viruses-shake-death.ht... , 2008) - icosahedral satellite tobacco necrosis virus of diameter of 18.4 nm resonates strongly around 60 GHz, according to Wikipedia the size of coronavirus is highly variable with average diameters of 80 to 120 nm, size of spikes 25 nm - so there may be no specific frequency of.. microwaves disintegrating the coronavirus by resonance, but it could be maybe one resonating with the spikes ? (UV light damages the DNA/RNA both of the virus and cell).
You could seed your random number generator with a hash of the hostname, guaranteeing consistency across all the random values you return to the one host.
Ah, interesting. Was it offered at the time and you didn't choose it, or is it an older droplet that didn't have the choice?

I've had a lot of different droplets of different sizes over the last 6-7 years. Recently when I created a new one for a new project, I noticed that option and chose it. I'm not sure I would if buying a larger droplet, or a lot of small ones (I've done that for certain projects), but $1/mo is the point where it feels like nothing.
The potato doesn't provide the energy; the two metals do.
I love how stating the fact that people are paid to do jobs, but simply phrasing it in Marxist vocabulary is supposed to incite outrage.

Yes, a VAST majority of people are not offended by the concept of paid work.
Google has never paid a dividend.

“Double taxation” refers to taxation post distribution not prior (source: I was a corporate tax accountant).

Finally, “evasion” is illegal. “Avoidance” is a legal tax strategy.
>I don't find it unethical though. People have a right to express their concerns to the government and advocate for their interests, even if those people group themselves together into a legal entity such as a corporation.

People still have the power to do so individually, but a corporation isn't democratically organized.
If the nation decided tax laws for you and you are following the law's intention, I'd say there's nothing unethical about it.

If you can call up a senator and say "You had better increase standard deduction to $X for married couples in Montana with three kids and a small business, or I'll have to rethink my campaign contribution," and you happen to be married in Montana with three kids and a small business, I'd say it's clearly unethical.

I think companies like Google fall in the latter category.
I never get these libraries. If you want a GUI, why not just use a real GUI library? Are these simpler to use? Is there an example of TUI that shouldn't be replaced with proper GUI or normal CLI?

Edit: Now that I think about it, a good example of TUI would be htop.
Let’s not just pick on frontend. Has anyone seen what it takes to run something on AWS? Devops is nearing similar levels of insanity, and often for applications that won’t even have 50 users (seriously, all these companies that advertise for AWS experience for a tool that is going to be fucking internal with less than 50 users).

It all builds up in me to be honest. You get the frontend complicated, then the deploy/infra gets complicated for the needless cloud dependency, and then the backend people don’t want to get left out of the party so they manage to rewrite their shitty php app in Go.

It’s like a shitty third world country. Not only do the roads suck, but there’s no water or electricity half the time, and you need to bribe everyone to get something. Instead of it becoming a wasteland, the population somehow still increases (more people actually entering tech). Now you really can’t change anything because there’s too many people.

How the wicked live.
In what way? I run xcode, firefox, safari, gimp, mail and a few other things. It is so much better than my last 16gb macbook pro. And this is an air.
Yes, but the plates could be cleaned and used multiple times.

For plates of reasonable size, simple abrasion would be enough.
Yes. Go buy some random heart rate monitor from Amazon - it will communicate over standard ant+/btle protocols.
How can this be accomplished? I take great pains not to get involved in my employees' personal lives. When they call out sick, I never ask why. While I do ask if "they need anything", they never have to tell me what they are sick with, or if they are even not sick and just need a day. I assume they are adults who are competent to manage their own time.

I once worked with a manager who would always ask for details like "oh you have a headache? Do you have a fever?" While I think his intentions were good, and that he just wanted to show concern and even offer support or advice, I always found the questions incredibly invasive and a violation of my privacy.

My team knows that I will always listen if an employee wants to share details of their personal lives (upto anything that crosses the line of appropriatness for work), but I would never pry.

So, in this example, I would never know an employee is struggling with a personal issue, unless they broached the subject with me.
It crashed for me. The images weren’t loading on a blog post, so I chose “turn off content blockers” on my mobile Safari browser, and the page reloaded showing only raw source code. Turning content blockers back on didn’t fix it. Revisiting the site now gives the same result. Very weird! I was half way through an article, too. Maybe I should reboot my phone.
I'm not convinced about the arguments of cost. There are a whole lot of presumptions in that chain of reasoning. The initial vector seems to not require any high-prices vulnerabilities, but simple authorization by pass, e.g., bypassing 2FA. Which could well have been a root account. From there, get the keys that Duo depends on, then you own the whole thing.

I have always argued that doing what I call "defense by presumed motive". The logic would have been "ok, UNC2452 wants to access DHS hacker's email. I'll go after SolarWinds". Better spend your energy on basic security principles.
> Are you saying that all "equipment" sold should be in the category that it can safely be installed in a multi-use area of a home with kids in it?

No. I was pointing out the non-ideal reality. People commonly use gym equipment in multi-use area with children, if that gym equipment can suck up a child or pet, and won't stop even as it jams on them, that is a safety concern. Basing product safety on a rare ideal instead of reality is a recipe for further tragedy.
> adequate technical talent, at a large enough scale, is a commodity

Then why did Google fail?

> they were already very successful before the facebook acquisition.

They had few million users - that’s pretty good, but far far for being really successful. Everyone (including me) thought that Facebook was crazy for spending one billion on some random hipster photo app.
Not sure what your comment about docker containers is trying to say. In docker you need to specify port mappings before ports are exposed outside the container, so this wouldn't happen without you explicitly knowing. Containers are by default untrusted and access to network and filesystem is mediated. In fact, if you linked to a docker container I'd have less qualms running than a binary.
Your basis for claiming that these products are comparable seems to be an entirely arbitrary opinion of yours. If you think Instagram is harmful then feel free to do some parenting and keep your own children away from it. But if you think that Instagram and cigarettes are comparably harmful, then you have an incredibly niche opinion that you shouldn’t expect anybody else to give much consideration to.
I think it's a tad disingenuous to focus only on the initial loading of Google Analytics. Presumably there is some ongoing cost to the user regardless of load time and it's probable that the blog was using the synchronous version. There may be many ways to make this asynchronous, but they chose the easiest way: removing it.
Remdesivir doesn’t save lives but desperate families demand doctors prescribe it

That's what you get when you stop enforcing antitrust laws. Microsoft can make WinGet free to the end user because they are subsidize the development from the sales of Windows itself. Because it's not a major niche, they don't care much about it and won't assign much resources to deliver an excellent product. But having them maintain a free solution bundled with the OS discourages anyone else from stepping into the niche with a much better to use paid tool. So it's a stalemate now.

It's a small example and the annual market for Windows package managers could be less than a single team's budget, but the same holds for virtually every niche these days. Subsidized solutions offered by the pre-2008 companies with little chance for independent competition. We are not going to remain an innovative economy unless we find a way to crack down on this behavior.
Generally I think the trade is that you can keep the stock if you quit but you don’t have stock. You have options that expire if you quit, so if you want the stock you must pay a lot of money to exercise the options, and you then pay tax based on gaining a high value of stock (potentially more tax than you could afford) even though its real is quite undetermined.
There is a lot of discussion about that: https://ciexinc.com/blog/solarwinds-articles/drilldown.html
I'd like to see a study on the percentage of people who's heart, lungs, or brain got filled with micro clots and now have permanent damage. The serious effects of COVID need to be taken into consideration as well if we are talking about risks involved with getting it.
Is spicy supposed to be a good thing? I don't feel like I understood the GP.
Yes, conversion of the metallic copper and zinc into ionic salts is where the energy comes from.
This comment is absurd and contradictory, if the software is supposed to be the equivalent of "grabbing a scrap of paper and scratching something down" then at bare minimum it needs to support images since you can draw pictures on a piece of paper. Do notepad or notepad++ support images?
If the sale contract says, "In the event that Acquirer does X, Acquirer will pay $100B to the EFF.", one might reasonably believe it, especially if $SUBSTANTIAL is held in escrow.

Phase Shift is by far the most comprehensive "knock off" Guitar Hero. Blows Frets on Fire and Clone Hero out of the water.

Netplay, multi format support. Etc. All previous game charts are available in formats compatible with Phase Shift.
Obliquely relevant question: can U.S. sole proprietors make expensed charitable contributions? I'm guessing not, because that would decrease the 13.5% Social Security "contribution", and would be on top of the "standard deduction" that was increased to make Schedule A itemization preferable only in exceptional cases.
Hiring/training it's a time consuming process, especially for large scale project like this (think, 67k towers across entire united states).

Usually telecoms RFI pretty much entire project from third party vendors (or few of them, on order to reduce risks), with very long list of requirements covering everything from software integration to hardware deployment.
Vendors will bring teams of their own engineers for "higher level jobs" and a whole bunch of "licenses" subcontractors to do actual track rolls. In case it's a complicated project, like upgrade to 5G, vendor most likely can't provide entire solution by itself, so it will be a "consortium" of vendors that stich up complete solution that is organized by vendor that answers RFI. In this case each vendor may have it's own subcontractors who may have their own subcontractors etc...
Given that it's basically the same machine in a larger case, the Pro should be renamed the Air since it actually contains more air.
It was just a joke. I'm not from US and have no idea how any of this work :)

To me the whole idea of a gift where the employer donates money to charities in a name of a employee seems like "The Human Fund" sketch from Seinfeld rather than anything that would actually exist in a real world.
This is really neat and I've been looking for something like this for a while. It'd be really useful if there were benchmarks for each instance so that it'd be easier to compare the vCPUs. I know that benchmarks aren't 100% representative but they might make the comparisons easier.
What it means is that the potato is just working as a media to connect two metal plate and not as a power source. Actual voltage and current is created by the metal plates corroding and melting into potato.

So it’ll be like saying “the atmosphere is not an energy source, it just blows between the sun and solar panels” without understanding what that means.
Never tried any of them myself and don't know which they were referring to, but the other replies are probably in the right direction.
Microsoft was evil in the late 90s. In the early 90s, I'm pretty sure they were still viewed positively.

Frankly, the MSFT's "this company and everything they do is awesome" to "this company and everything they do is evil" followed a similar timeline to Google's, just shifted by a few decades.
I keep seeing things like 'Google pays 0% taxes' yet they reported an effective tax rate of 16.2% in their 2020 10-K filing.
I have no expectation of ever seeing useful recommendations from the sites I frequent. This might be heresy on HN, but by and large recommendation engines are pure trash. Have you ever been recommended a useful product on Amazon? One would think that a company with such large resources could occasionally point me to a product I might want.
I agree with his opinion. The analogy holds quite well if you don't try to stretch it. Both products are attractive to kids, in different ways, but ultimately harm them - also in different ways. Nonetheless, they are comparable in this regard.
Wrong window?
OP: I build furniture now, but I still lurk here because the news is interesting. Sometimes there's even overlap :-)
upgrading 67k towers for 5G and making relevant changes in software/network infra, it's not "project based business model".
This particular exercise called "network transformation" and it makes grown men cry and quit their job :)
I'm curious about how much of this apparent low dimensionality is explained by (1) the physical proximity of the neurons being recorded, (2) poverty of the stimuli (just 4 sequences in this paper, if I'm not mistaken)
So, you must have really good hiring methods... do you mind expanding on those too?
How can parents prevent their kids from using Instagram? Even if you block it on your router and phone they’ll get around it. I see this argument a lot and people never give an exhaustive way to stop their children from doing so called bad things. It’s not that simple lol. Parenting™ is not a cure all nor is it even a specific technique to be employed...

Anyways, can’t your logic be extended to everything? Agree or disagree it’s pretty easy to see why some parents would disagree with the decision
Remote SSH is one reason. Another reason is that TUIs are generally easier to create and maintain than GUIs, especially cross-platform.
Always great. A fine technique to compensate for those of us who lack mathematical sophistication: write some godawful brute force code to calculate the number of items in some construct of interest, then search those numbers up to learn all sorts of useful new things about what you have.

I learned about generalizations of the Fibonacci sequence and "half-Catalan numbers" by this method.
There have been deeper dives and better explanations than this NPR article: https://ciexinc.com/blog/solarwinds-articles/zetter.html

Major investigations were completed months ago.
Many copper compounds are toxic, I wouldn't even think about it.
> Why is HN always full of people advocating that companies should be above the law?

I've seen folks claim that HN has a significant population of investors and founders. There's probably a fair share of people who aspire to belong to that group, too. It's probably a concentration of the greater pattern of Americans seeing themselves as temporarily embarrassed billionaires.
There is literally nothing about a Peloton bike that screams cost savings.

My hunch is that the slat based system doesn't allow for guards like most treadmills

First result I got for a slat based treadmill other than the Tread has the same problem: http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2559/4942/products/trueform...

To me the thing that makes my heart drop instantly is seeing two small children messing with a treadmill.

An easily deadly combination regardless of guards, to me this is on the same level as leaving kids with heavy machinery.
