To me the problem with these kind of blanket decisions is:

(a) The reasoning is often either not communicated, or is poorly communicated.

(b) It takes away a risk/benefit decision from people that are mostly capable of making on their own. Don't want to take the risk of a rare side effect? Wait for an mRNA vaccine. Think the risk of COVID for your particular scenario is higher? Let me accept the risk.

There isn't a way that a single model of the scenario produces the 'correct' or 'safest' decision for everyone. Also, there is no good reason that a person of sound reasoning cannot make this decision for themselves.

Ok, but company can fire you and give you a contractor contract as take it or leave it.

It's legal. An example from today:

I see quite a lot of potential for abuse, and very low benefits for the apps to implement that process properly.
You don't read a huge essay broken down into 50 tweets - that's not how it works. In that case they'd just post a link to the essay. The point is twitter helped you discover the essay in the first place. If you've carefully curated your timeline then twitter acts as a content filter for the content you're actually interested in. Over time I've simply lost interest in such content curation, but others may still find it valuable.
You should add to that the hypersexualization of commercial culture, and in fact the commercialization of sex itself by apps like Tinder and Grind.

Though, it’s perhaps a bit unfair to call the behavior idiotic - I do think people who engage in self-destructive promiscuity do so out of pain, or due to commercial manipulation that they aren’t savvy enough to resist.
For AZ the evidence is pretty strong the clots are a real side effect. It is indeed rare, but it mostly effects young people, who are extremely unlikely to die from COVID. I don't understand discontinuing entirely, but given the vaccine alternatives available I think it makes perfect sense to direct young people elsewhere.
That's not true at all. There was no classification needed at all to pay taxes, and how much should be paid was clear, and the requirement was to self-report on these taxes. I know because I've paid those taxes at exorbitant rates at one point which are now being retroactively reduced (by retroactively changing normalised expenses from 20% to 43% which are deducted from taxable income)!

There were (and still exist) problems with pension fund contributions being recognized, but that's more on the pension fund to figure out (I've got 11 months of payments from 2011 that they are not registering because of this, which is why I switched to self-employment then).

But this is also ignoring the fact that all these years until early in 2020, Serbia had an extremely low-tax mode of operation for such workers: self-employment with taxation on a predetermined fixed "income" up to an actual yearly income of 6 million RSD (~50,000 EUR). For IT workers, who had the biggest tax rates in those arrangements, it was not more than 400€ a month, which is pretty amazing for up to 4500€ of gross income. This arrangement only required registration with the tax office and business registry that you are operating a self-employment agency.

Sure, those at the lower end or irregular income wouldn't benefit from it, but Serbian government is already mostly forgiving their debt for anyone with less than 500€ of monthly income, and spreading the debt over 10 years, which are the terms protesters are not accepting.

I also think it'd be acceptable to offer the same taxation rate to anyone who would have been eligible for self-employement fixed-tax if it is more beneficial, and the accumulated interest would be the only "penalty" for skipping taxes.

That way people who did pay taxes wouldn't feel disadvantaged over the ones who avoided them.
There's a way to call it out, and it's with substantive comments like yours talking about the problem.

On HN at least it's not with a one liner that stereotypes a whole group of people with drug use and irresponsible behaviour like the now-dead comment did.

I for one flagged that comment not because it called out the problem, but for how it did it without contributing anything useful.

I’ve used synology for 10 years and really liked them. But there’s quite a few annoying things popping up more frequently.

This is an example of a stupid error that I can’t turn off.

They’re starting to assume that all devices are internet connectable and subject to brute force. That seems insane to me and my synology is on a private network with no inbound connectivity. I don’t want to change from admin.
Zoom Fatigue Worse for Women, Stanford Study Finds
I'd be really curious to know why people are downvoting this. I can't see any technical reason against it. Of course, for some people this might be too complicated or too much hassle in comparison to buying a more expensive commercial thing. But for other people, the cost savings might be worth the work. It is also easier to keep an almost completely open source solution fully up-to-date.
I think this is a great idea, making it much easier to do semi-anonymous STD notification. Sadly, after googling "grindr std notification" I found a bunch of articles around mid-2018 about Grindr "investigating" such a feature, but it certainly never implemented it, and no other info on it in the past 3 years.
There is always a small minority of those whiners complaining that Google is too powerful and destroying their business when if their emails were actually desired they would be contacted back.

> Experts point to the advent of dating apps, less condom use and an increase in meth.

This comes with the explosion of casual sex in recent times. Also STI throat cancers are on the rise from the explosion of oral sex. [1] maybe due to the novel widespread availability of internet video pornography and increased normalization in media relative to past decades.

I would take a guess that lots of people take PrEP but skip the STD testing...
The young don't say it's a 'you' problem anymore: now they want legislation to fix everyone else.

This pandemic is just one more step in the same direction.

I blame education for indoctrinating the last generations and society for forcing parents to overwork and not be present at home to fix this mess.
The Power of Ten – Rules for Developing Safety Critical Code (2014) [pdf]
I think it's other way around. Society that had certain moral stances had benefits over others that didn't.

For ancient Greek eating human flesh was taboo. That also was a way to prevent prion diseases.

It's possible at some time that behavior gave society a bit of edge, but it then kept passing it over just as a form of tradition.

E.g. fasting is another practice that has hidden health benefits.
Not exactly. It's kinda like an algorithms design manual, which teaches the fundamentals. After learning how to design charts in different cases, you can apply the knowledge in any programming language.
>There was a bit of an initial, politically influenced confusion in the US at the beginning up until about June

You are downplaying it - they were actively taking a stance against them in the US and June was already quite late into the pandemic.

The WHO themselves were advising people NOT to wear a mask and that it might be even more dangerous to wear one than not to wear it months into the pandemic.. They also only revised this in June.

A quick search tells me that the median is 35k per year, the mean time off is 10 days and there are 13 national holidays.

So that would put it at roughly $15 * 48 hours * 48 weeks. For 35k. I agree, that's devastating.
That's old news, the record high is already >$64,400.
In my country sending biohazard materials through the post is illegal. You need specially-licensed couriers to transport it. This is in fact a reasonable restriction. The same restriction that applies to explosives or nuclear materials.

There's also the very real problem of personal data security here, at many levels.

This sounds like a poorly conceived services ripe for exploitation.
Ruby on Rails Controller Patterns and Anti-Patterns
Except that machines aren't making some grand objective pronouncement, sent from on high and untainted by base human nature. Machines are programmed to carry out some particular human desire. They follow that single human desire, without any of the restraint or competition of other desires, no matter how deep that path may lead.

Machines are assholes with nefarious agendas given to them either intentionally or unintentionally.
In general, I think that the “one thing” approach is how I read any kind of reference or self-help/business book. I rarely go cover to cover, but know people who do. I’m more likely to take something way 1-2 things and apply it, then move onto another book.

Without being able to see the game/discord/stuffs you're talking about, it's impossible to tell, and using a throwaway further detracts from (my) willingness to help.. Be honest about what you're doing, you don't have to be proud per se, but at least stand by it :)

Although I'm not really familiar enough to comment on much of this, I will point out that ORMs are still very popular and valuable despite their problems. If this is anything like ORMs, I would expect it to be very useful to many people despite theoretical problems that tend to be fairly manageable in practice.
But people will also miss cancer screenings, get depressed and so on when they stay at home because of an unmitigated pandemic running wild. It wouldn't be 2019 again without government intervention.

(PS: also, why would they miss a cancer screening when it's literally the only pastime that isn't shut down?)
Yeah. I don't like the idea that law around search warrants can be used to authorize the government to do things like this. That's not what a search warrant is for. I think the judge was wrong to authorize it, but I don't count on judges to resist law enforcement requests.

If this sort of thing is a good idea, there should really be legislation about it specifically.
Looks like it is, if I remove the 4 gifs stacked on top of each other CPU usage drops massively.
One nice thing about wasm is you can (sometimes) bring apps to the web very quickly. I got an emulator written in C fully ported to wasm in about an hour. To be fair this particular app hit all of the sweet spots of Emscripten, and you won't get that lucky with most apps.
As a programmer, there's a lot you can do to make your JS run faster under optimization (e.g. avoid deopt) but there's little you can do about the warm up (besides reducing binary size).

So, when you're trying to progressively improve performance of specific code (e.g. boost FPS) the warm up time is better ignored; it's not under your control.
>With the risk of contracting a deadly disease falling to almost zero, condoms fell even more out of favor than they already were, says Park.

>"If one man is taking PrEP and the other one is virally suppressed, there's no HIV risk at all," she says. "So why use condoms if you don't mind having a touch of syphilis?"

Humans really do take for granted the efficacy of antibacterials and antibiotics across the board.

These sort of harmful bacteria are completely and safely treatable now in most people, but the real potential threat is breeding drug resistant strains of bacteria, microorganisms and viruses. We shouldn't treat these fantastic tools like a pass to do whatever, we should instead use them sparingly and curb behavior. There are plenty of simple preventative practices than can reduce ever needing such treatments while mostly being able to continue doing what you'd like. A huge amount of these infections could be reduced drastically just by using a condom.

Rely on those prevention approaches first and drugs/treatment second to reduce the risk of creating situations where treatments don't exist. This can be said about a huge swath of preventable disease in the US. A bit of diet, exercise, and an once of prevention is worth its weight in gold.

I keep a handy script to remove old versions of snaps. I regularly retrieve gigabytes of lost storage after updates.

Your first class may not teach this, but you'd get to it eventually if you kept taking classes. (Then again, your first class may at least mention this sort of thing at some point.) What the "average human" is is not what all humans are. There's all sorts of things like, the stuff in that link, major nerve clusters having additional or missing separations, extra separated or fused bones, major veins and arteries not being quite in the usual location... look close enough and you'll find something on everybody that doesn't match the "standard human anatomy".
Legal threats and spam blacklists are an endless game of whack-a-mole.

So, I don't see any evidence. I see only accusations. Most of them don't make even slightest effort to consider other versions. This makes it very clear that the initial intent is not to figure what is going on, who are influental players, what interests they pursue and what conflicting points exist. Just blame Putin - people buy it.
And the number of deaths due to seasonal flues is practically 0. I actually do not think any of these statistics matter, because data driven decisions are not timely by definition. What mattered is that the entire western world failed to react in time.

Bad behavior should of course be called out, but there's no need to reference harmful stereotypes such as a supposed "gay (or 'homosexual') community". Many people with a same-sex orientation do not engage in problematic behavior of any sort.
It doesn't matter how good your technical solution is if the law says that the scrambling doesn't matter.

The threat being considered in this thread is a future crackdown on bitcoin and how the blockchain may be used against bitcoin owners. Legal threats seem very relevant.
The flaw is that you think humans would do a better job than AI which def not the case. Especially hiring 30k people in a low income country, what could go wrong... This is the kind of scale problems that can't be fixed by humans review.
Pfizer has been distributed to many young people in other countries though and no such issue has popped up. Not saying it's outside the realm of possibility, but I think it's increasingly unlikely. Plus it'd be no surprise to me for the mRNA vaccines to have somewhat different side effect profile than the "traditional" ones.

It appears that every GIF frame is a Chrome paint (which makes sense) but a way to make the GIF static or turn off the GIFs would reduce paints down to basically nothing.
These apps do not intercept the calls. All they can do is call an API to tell the OS a list of numbers to block. This is good from a privacy standpoint but bad from an effectiveness standpoint, because apps can't do any real-time analysis of incoming calls to make a decision. They just have to periodically update a static list of blocked numbers.

Clicking an f-droid notification and then "update all" is fine by me.

It's much better than having no alternative store at all, and installing things via adb commands.
I disagree. Google "meth and sex", and pretty much everything you read will say that meth will make sex feel absolutely amazing. So it could be the case that, especially when people are young, they know the dangers but think "hey, I know myself, I can do it once or twice without getting addicted"

The problem with meth is that it's so very addictive that you don't necessarily need to be in a pit of despair to get hooked.
I'm surprised that cache sizes and jump distance were not mentioned. Would that mean the size reduction is good enough that we're safely ignoring potential fetch of another page of code?
I think we figured out at least one issue here.

Fauna is a temporal database, not a time series database. The code in the test that updates the score on every post after every read is creating new historical events every time it does that. These have to be read and skipped over during the read query which will continually increase latency proportional to the number of updates that have occurred.

By default, Fauna retains this data and makes it queryable (with transactional guarantees) for 30 days, unlike DynamoDB or Redis. Reducing the retention period would help a bit, but event garbage collection is not immediate so there will still be differences for heavily churned documents. Normally, having a few updates to a document or an index has no noticeable impact but in this case it appears to be swamping the other factors in the latency profile.

It is possible to manually remove the previous events in the update query; doing that should reduce the latency. Nevertheless, Fauna is not a time series database so this is a bit of an anti-pattern.
the suggestion was 'required'. being compliant with local laws surely should be one of the benefits.

FWIW, most FAANG employees seem to admit that if they had to redo their interview, odds are they're more likely to fail than pass. Goes to show how much luck is involved in the process.

I think it's gotten harder too. Maybe in the past it really was about trying to see how the candidate thinks and solve problems. But now it seems like all all of that is secondary to getting the optimal solution. Two of my friends in Google who got in ~10 years ago say that it's definitely gotten harder from what they see.

I agree bitcoin should switch.

I also think it's never going to happen. Bitcoin is as static as it will ever get.

Arguing for proof of stake will only get the internet mad at you, not much technical discussion is even possible.

It could maintain proof of work and switch to argon2, thus eliminating the huge centralization of mining in ASICs and GPUs. But you can't touch the miners.

You could argue that smart contracts are great, and could integrate the latest and greatest now that we have done a lot of experimentation, but it's not going to happen.

There are improvements that could be integrated to have merely more transactions/sec, and not much has been done.

Technologically, bitcoin is dead. As an investment instead it seems to be going well.
