skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
Making an alt account because I don't want to be misconstrued as 'supporting racism' or something. I did a quick search and it seems like 4chan is definitely not all white people. It may be majority white but I doubt it.

Using the 4chan JSON API, I looked at the /pol/ and /int/ boards to see the range of countries posted. /int/ has posts from 99 unique countries. /pol/ has posts from 100 unique countries, but many of the 'countries' are just labels naming a specific flag, for example "LGBT". (Note that "White Supremacist" is literally a flag/label you can choose... But so are "Tree Hugger", "Anarchist", "Facist", "Hippie", and "Black Lives Matter".) I tried to make a pastebin but their filters didn't like the word "white supremacist" so here's the code instead: https://pastebin.com/9FhDM8Ch

Given the list of countries, I'd say it is nearly impossible that most of these people are white. Some of these people are definitely using VPNs to change their country code, however it's also important to note that many VPNs are banned from posting without a 4chan Pass. They cannot all be VPNs.

Without spending too much time on it, I found two pictures of /pol/ meetups online:

https://www.reddit.com/r/4chan/comments/7qt0h5/4chan_pol_mee...
https://www.reddit.com/r/Cringetopia/comments/b3ggfx/4chan_m...

(Trigger warning, the second picture shows Nazi symbolism.)

In both pictures people of color are present, and in one picture white people make up 50% of the crowd. This doesn't make what /pol/ says OK and that I don't condone racist speech online, but it does suggest many of the comments in this thread are incorrect about 4chan's demographics. Ultimately we do not know what 4chan's demographics are.

Why did I bother? For a few reasons: I like Chris Poole and to my knowledge, he's never supported bigotry directly, he just strongly believes in the value of online anonymity. It pains me to see people painting him as a racist. Nobody calls Jack Dorsey a racist when racist things are posted on Twitter. I also don't like it when people imply that people who post racist things must by default be white, or that white people are inherently racist, e.g. "4chan is a racist website so they must be all white". I also am quite interested in the topic of online moderation and how we can create spaces that allow for privacy/anonymity while curbing bad actors. For something else interesting on this topic, this paper is about white supremacy present on Twitter: https://extremism.gwu.edu/sites/g/files/zaxdzs2191/f/downloa... Note that the paper is from 2016 and white supremacy is still in full-force on Twitter, and really any popular social media site.

Considering no ID was required to get a vaccine and the “proof” is nothing more than a date written on a card, I’m curious how they will enforce it.
Is it possible to drive any new cars or charge at any of these stations with privacy?

I was curious as well. From what I've read in the past the Russians always have Vodka.
From the article: "An Epic Games spokesperson told the Triangle Business Journal that the campus would include office buildings and recreational spaces."

That sure gives me the impression that they're tearing down the mall structure and probably parts of the parking lot, and then building new buildings.
Fantastic. The renderer I was using was indeed leaflet based, so this sounds drop-in easy.
I just read through https://github.com/protomaps/PMTiles
Nice work!
The only downside would be that these maps are often re-rendered periodically and only have a few tiles that actually get updated. In that case, it’s nice to have to update only a handful of files. But I think the benefits would far outweigh the costs. Upload one massive file repeatedly is still gonna be faster I would think. Thanks!

I had COVID in March 2020 too (not as serious of a case as GP) and I'm getting my 2nd Vaccine does tomorrow so I'll answer for myself.

It's actually quite simple for me I'm traveling internationally again and the the first country on my list is a lot easier to get into if you're fully vaccinated. It seems like things will coalesce around people who are vaccinated having greater access to things, at least until enough of the world population is vaccinated that it doesn't matter.
In Natick Mass they build a condo on top of the mall.

https://patch.com/massachusetts/natick/see-inside-natick-mal...
"This condo building was built in 2008 overlooking the Natick Mall. For just $925,000 you get sweeping views, 3 bedrooms, and access to all the shopping you can do (if you have any cash left over)."

But massachusetts has a weird relationship with Malls. I visited the Wayfair Offices, which sit above a really high end mall (Copley Place) in Boston. When I visited there was a pretty long line in the mall to get up the escalator to get onto the office floor...
I can tell the difference between $30 headphones and $300 headphones, you could probably tell too. But between $300 and $3000? I wouldn't trust myself.

I think to even try, you need to set up an A/B system and precisely match levels. If you don't match levels, the louder one will always sound better.

I've tried it before, but it's hard to match levels. It's even harder if you're swapping headphones or earbuds.
Agree ... But "take seriously" can mean not going to a religious festival with a million other people.

Sure, but if Canada had a pending decision on a vaccine and didn’t want to export inventory until then would anyone blame them?

And decisions to invest in R&D and production facilities has consequences. Canada is finally getting on the ball to build a vaccine factory that will be ready in 2024. Maybe.
Are you trying to say that raging hatred on 4Chan is acceptable because raging hatred exists in other areas too? That would be a strange thing to say, but I don't know what you're getting at otherwise.
You also can't expose parts to ambient humidity for very long if you intend to put them through a reflow solder process. Bad things happen.
Yes please. Why do you say that as if it's a bad thing?
Oh wow - very cool. Thanks for this! I love SQLite, and think this is an excellent use case. (File systems, especially networked ones, don’t handle “lots of tiny files” well). I think using SQLite as the primary, writeable storage mechanism makes sense because I could ship that around easily to rendering nodes and incrementally update it easily. Then, I could export to a static PMTile for upload to S3 for serving purposes.

But human scale density sucks. Everything is expensive and dangerous. You get less space, less greenery, and pay more for the privilege.

And much of the human density isn't the kind I want it to be. My faith / ethnic community don't live in city centers. They live in towns 30-40 minutes outside the city.

Good! organ donations save lives,restore vision to the blind, and help burn victims, and this lets people who don't have strong opinions on what happens to their body help other people, while still letting those who have strong opinions against organ donation opt out.
They also have americunts and amerifats if that makes you feel any better.
I think the real question is, why should we care what some sharmen that have been dead several millenniums would think?
> I suspect this might not work as cleanly if you rebase or squash as the merge method

It does not. After PR1 is merged, PR2 gets retargeted onto the target branch of PR1—but all the commits it was based on now move to the PR2, sometimes causing conflicts. GitHub won't automagically rebase your PR2, that makes sense.

The Silent Type: On (possibly) being Bob Dylan’s son
There is no market in those two examples. No one buys Tesla operating systems, and no one buys IKEA screws. In both cases, those are building blocks of the whole.

You must have a market before you can abuse it. In addition, you must have a firm and durable market power. If IKEA had a strong screw market across multiple segments, and then abused that position through exclusionary practices, you could argue a potential illegal monopoly. Likewise, if Tesla operating systems were closer to 90’s Microsoft, you could have an argument there.

Notice no one is arguing an iOS monopoly. The App Store fits the legal definition of a market. Apple has a firm and durable market power (over 50% in multiple countries, including the US, which is their highest revenue). Apple excludes some from this app market. Apple can and does prevent certain firms from succeeding in their marketplace. It is not unheard of to have Apple reject or pull apps once they decide that they want to add that app’s feature to iOS. Once the app is pulled into iOS, it gains functionality not available to other apps. Their monopoly was gained not by innovation, but by the fact that they set the rules of this market - you simply cannot make a competing App Store.

These are red flags and should be investigated.
I recently bought a fiio fd5 iems and I really do like the sound. Way better than the $30 earbuds I have around.

Unfortunately they're just not comfortable enough to wear all day.

So day-to-day I use mmx 300's for everything else.

I watched a coworker Google the syntax for ElasticSearch the other day. He found stuff I never saw while reading the docs, intuited how the library should work while barely skimming the search results, and finished while I still would have been reading the documentation. I would have hired that guy to senior developer based on that one demonstration. He brought so much experience and context to everything he searched for that he finished 3x as fast as I would have.
Ok Dr. Mengele.

This is an extremely naive take that ignores some dark history.

Runs horribly on macOS Firefox but, does indeed run at 60fps in Chrome with audio turned off. I wonder why the audio is such a problem? I'd think that audio wouldn't be that expensive even in an emulated environment.
They might just have figured that none of the people with standing is actually going to sue them.

A license is only as strong as the likelihood and severity of consequences.
You're assuming they're opposed to human testing, so you see the first statement as, "animals are people too" instead of "humans are just animals."

From there, the second statement a solution to a legal problem they have, and not the moral one they don't have.
“We are also hiring a few mid-career engineers. This is not the typical startup gig; you’ll get no equity, your employer will burn through their funding as quickly as possible, our TAM is declining by millions daily, and successful execution in your job duties will see all of us unemployed within months. If that sounds interesting, drop us a line and we’ll get back to you in the next few days as dust settles.”

Very Shackleton!
>Unified memory is hardly new

Yes..... but

>the competing Intel mobile architecture with IGPs has had unified memory for 17 years.

Intel CPU and GPU are using Unified Memory in literal sense but not unified memory in technical terms or how Apple uses it. Or to be more precise, Intel CPU and GPU on Windows does not share the same memory address space. They are partitioned in the memory. Which is not Unified Memory really meant. But I am sure the way things are going this is going to spin out of hand and the term will be redefined. ( Hopefully Not )
>That's dystopian. Maybe I'm assuming bad faith on the part of the author.

I think you are. Because while your examination of the logic is sound as far as it goes, I think you stop where the author trusts you to continue.

The idea that humans don't deserve full moral rights is so unpopular that author trusts you to infer that they hold some other view. Along the lines of "maybe there are non-human species which deserve full moral rights as well."

I will deliberately not get more specific than that about what the author, because if I did I would probably be bringing the details of my own views rather than theirs. But for myself, it seems highly plausible that other species with highly sophisticated individual social behavior may be able to suffer in ways we're used to thinking of as unique to human experience. And I think there are other people, maybe not yourself, who might accept this plausibility if they are forced to confront the reality of human chimeras.

Of course, there's also the priests, and I expect a very different reaction from them.
People need to have the freedom to do research. If Galilio agreed to stop researching due to protests, we wouldn't be here today.
Most likely when it's moderate/major features. Sometimes it can be as simple as a case of packaging (i.e. fewer pins so they can't bring everything out.) I've always assumed that some of the packaging options were driven by large customers who wanted something just a bit different for whatever reason. (PCB space, power consumption, just to be difficult... who knows)
anecdotally, I've heard that people are experiencing worse second-dose side effects with Moderna (not dangerous, just the 1-2 day sick feeling).

I wouldn't dodge it because of it, but people might.
Well, its the truth.

You don't have to be a rocket scientist or have a PHD in supply chains to understand there are second/third order consequences by cancelling significant amounts of your forecasted production and then expecting your suppliers to magically pick up where you left off.

Its why you keep production/manufacturing warm rather than do stops (which is what they essentially forced their suppliers to do by cancelling purchases).

This is BCP 101 and I give the auto industry no sympathy since most of this pain was entirely self inflicted. They tried to push all the risk to their suppliers, left them holding the bag and had a shocked Pikachu face when they couldn't ramp back up to prior levels.
He is describing a city.

Not a North American city mind you, but a true old development city.

Human scale. People first, not cars. Everything you need to live within walking distance.

This is the vast majority of Europe.
The article says that before the pandemic, european sales were much dependant on tourists making their purchases in Europe. So it was Chinese and American people buying these items before as well. But before the pandemic, they bought them during a trip to Europe, and now via the web, closer to home.
Here's the "2%."

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7010e3.htm#F1_down

It's "percentage point change," which I read as absolute percentage points. It's different from you what said, "masks reduce transmission by all of 2%," but it also looks like a garbage number because you can't average percents like that and get meaningful data, and the result is hard to interpret. If masks drop the growth rate by 2 percentage point, two percentage points from what?
Is there a similar software for Rails ?
The opening for this piece is something else. "Adrienne Whyte used to go to the mall twice a week, where she might meet up with her personal shoppers at Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue or scour Macy’s for bedding and kitchenware."

Twice a week? Is this common for people? Even when online shopping wasn't a thing I don't think I was at a mall once a week.
It depends on which ethical viewpoint you have. There are two major ones:

The deontological (Kantian) view is that anything that is wrong is so implicitly such that anyone doing something wrong is morally wrong regardless of consequences; murdering a criminal to save thousands in the future would be wrong implicitly.

The utilitarian one says that the ends justify the means, that if one were to murder a criminal to save thousands, it would be morally right.

There is not necessarily a right answer as this argument has been going on in philosophy for a long time, but I'm a utilitarian. If people need to be experimented on in order to advance science, then let it be so. You seem to be less so on this side or even on the deontological side.

For a complete opposite of Maya, see Side FX Houdini. An incredible masterpiece of software development, keeps getting better every year, the company is extremely competent, beloved by the community, they keep innovating even though they're so far ahead of any other alternative.

I don't know if I have a point to make, I just wanted to gush about my favorite 3D software, and also I'm sad to see what autodesk is doing to Maya, what an absolute disaster. I loved Maya so much when I was a teenager. It was built by a brilliant company (Alias|Wavefront), it could've been so good if it wasn't sold to autodesk.

Now I'm just confused. Do you believe it is okay for minio to unilaterally - and without prior permission from contributors - change the license of their project to the AGPL while also preserving the license of thirdparty Apache-licensed contributions?

If you do, then we are in complete agreement.

If you do not, do you believe that there are two distinct copyrightable works involved here? (the individual Apache-licensed files and the whole combined work) Or do you believe there is only one single copyrightable work and each contributor has copyright over his part of that work?
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/natural only one sub-item of these fifteen definitions of natural say "no human intervention".

Lets look at the definition for nature: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/nature

Definition 2b is succint: "an inner force (such as instinct, appetite, desire) or the sum of such forces in an individual"

According to this, murder is in fact quite natural.

I don't like arguments about definitions, because they're a cheap way out: "x is (not) bad because its y"; they also force discussions about all the wrong things, ignoring the core of what both parties care about regarding the issue.
From my understanding, the vivax variety can bury into the liver and come back out in the future, whereas the falciparum type, which seems to have faster and deadlier results if untreated, once it is treated, is no longer in the body.

Or at least I hope so. I lived in Tanzania for a few years and I got malaria (I think falciparum) a few times. The first time it was the worst headache I've ever experienced. By the third or fourth time, I barely noticed that I had it and yet it was at maybe 5x or more the concentration it was when I first contracted it.
Empathy is a critical component in Software Engineering
The US as a whole is 65% homeowners, but population density drives that down. The Bay Area is below 44%. There are hundreds of thousands of apartments here with street parking where you can find it, or rows of carports in 2–3 story complexes that may or may not be lit but definitely no metered outlets.
Added to the list!
I agree. Abruptly sending a player off only works punitively to give permanent advantage to one team. Home fans that feel ripped off by a “missed” red card might instead feel some hidden guilt or something, even if they won’t admit it. Their team didn’t prove they could beat the opponent at full strength. I think it’s a rare occasion that a fan would fully support a decision against their team; the rules are only perfectly carried out when they benefit me.

I suppose this is different when the game is a 1/38 league match instead of a winner takes all situation. Spectators are disenchanted by combat sport matches being won by technicality - and that kind of outcome is part of those rules!

It’s all about entertainment and exciting competition after all, right?
Why such concern about people owning things that they may not truly need? I'd say it is a bit of a slippery slope. Many things are not truly needed.
Something like this might work: Instead of a single file, write multiple files under an S3 prefix. All keys under that prefix are your "file." Write a lambda to read all the keys under that prefix and set it up through API gateway to return a single "file." You could also write another lambda to periodically merge multiple s3 keys. It might be slow. Dynamo is probably better.
The Europoors cannot afford them.
