> You're sure those are ICUs full of people in critical condition due to COVID?

You got me, I didn't triage each patient at all the hospitals in a major metro area. You're probably right that everyone came in at the same time for muscle cramps and sprains. The hospitals pretended to give them Covid tests but really just said they all tested positive because that's how unethical medical practitioners are these days. Further, the hospital administrators lied about census numbers in a coordinated fashion so that the census numbers would match predictions from infection data weeks prior. Then, the Covid-denying governor decided to open massive field hospitals because he thought that projecting the image of being overrun with a plague was a good strategy to help Senators from his party win reelection.

You're probably right, Occam was completely wrong.

How do you close a loophole without bought politicians replacing one loophole with ten?

A bit of an "angels dancing on a pinhead" question, I'll admit
a) We do not have sufficient data, and threat of sterility is a serious concern which is yet to be ruled out

b) Thats your choice. I've never opted for the flu vaccine because the lack of accountability of its efficacy and profit incentives don't make sense as far as motivating any belief that that sort of thing is designed to be good for me

c) Examine the numbers of actual confirmed deaths from COVID vs comorbidities. Yes, it still is more deadly, and I clearly say that, but its not enough more to justify how its being treated.
Both are ridiculous, but only one can be somewhat rectified. Death is pretty final most of the time. (Some folks technically die, but are revived).
TLDR: YouTube is creating custom video encoding hardware to lower costs.

This part is just a lie, however, given YouTube frequently practices censorship of political views and ideologies their employees disagree with:

> Our mission is “To give everyone a voice and show them the world.” Let anyone upload a video to show anyone else in the world, for free.

This seems like the same gaslighting we saw recently with YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki receiving an award for free expression sponsored by YouTube itself: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26880262
What if the system had 2 kinds of nodes, storage nodes, and then verification nodes. The storage nodes, store the data. The verification nodes, hit the storage nodes and verify the data is there and available. If the storage node fails a verification attempt, the storage node pays a fee. After a certain amount of failures, it is banned from the network.

Disclaimer: I have no idea how these systems currently work.

I've used this technique over 3 semesters so far, with a total of 500 students. My team is myself, a TA, and 10-15 undergraduate graders. I try to triage grading with automated tests and a bunch of tools to give me an overview of how students are doing their work (looking at the first and last commit, commit frequency, etc.). The most work is in assessing the oral assignments, but I actually like doing those the most - I get to hear from my students in their own voice, which is nice during this isolated pandemic.

I think it could possibly scale to larger classes as long as the grading team scales with it. I'm not sure how public universities handle their grader allocations.

Ironically, this is the reason why I support schools for high-IQ kids. When everyone is special, no one is. If you are a high-IQ kid surrounded by high-IQ kids, the only way to get ahead is to work hard. This builds the right habits naturally. (Also, prepares you better for a career where you will be competing with other smart people.)

If you are a high-IQ kid surrounded by average kids, regardless of what your parents told you, you probably will notice that you can get the best grades without actually trying hard.

Opposition to abortion and capital punishment is pretty basic moral reasoning and really not challenging. The premise is killing innocent human beings is wrong. In the case of abortion the innocence of the person being killed is assured. In the case of capital punishment that’s not necessarily true, but since we can’t truly know for certain the convict isn’t innocent we ought to err on the side of caution to avoid the possibility of killing an innocent person.

It’s odd to me how controversial both issues are when the moral reasoning required is so easy. Taking any other position requires denying the premise that it’s wrong to destroy innocent human life. One can, but accepting that has some very nasty consequences.
> You're reducing a human being to a single binary classification - evil or not evil

That is correct.

> You're also saying that you're prepared to ignore the wider impact that the act of executing that individual has on society.

That must specifically not be allowed to cloud our judgment. "Society" is word which refers to collection of people, the vast majority of whom have no connection to the case.

Norway gave 21 years, their maximum sentence, plus “the possibility of one or more extensions for as long as he is deemed a danger to society” to Breivik for killing 69 people.

This seems like a better way to go. He will be evaluated for extensions of his sentence periodically, and (showing my ignorance of their system here) I presume the panel will include medical professionals who are more equipped to gauge his mental health and danger to society than a judge would.

A family member of mine was murdered in the 90s. I would advocate for the same treatment of the killer. Though I suppose I am still biased since it was unprovoked, and the killer would probably be judged a continual danger to society.

My main objection to this take is that ownership is about far more than just memory management.

Garbage collection lets you avoid memory leaks, double-free, use-after-free, and that's it. In Go, it's up to you to correctly handle every other type of resource correctly, as the compiler won't offer you any help.

An ownership system like Rust's is a general-purpose tool that handles all kinds of resource management. File descriptors, database transactions, session types, locks, etc.

People praise Go's channels, but Go channels are way more complicated to use correctly, and part of that is due to ambient ownership (the other part is due to bad error handling). You need to manually keep separate track of how many outstanding writers there are are, and then explicitly close the channel. In Rust, the channel is closed when all senders or all receivers are dropped. I don't have to do anything, and it's always as correct as what I'd have to implement and maintain myself in Go.

Another great example is how Rust's mutex can own the guarded value. In most languages, a mutex is a separate object, and it's up to you to be careful to make sure you never access it without acquiring the mutex first, to always release after the last use of the guarded value, and to never keep a reference to the guarded value after releasing the mutex.

With Rust, the ownership system is used to handle and verify all of that, so I do less work, have less to think about it, and can't make those mistakes. The Mutex owns the value. Mutex::lock() and ::try_lock() return a guard that you dereference to access the protected value. The mutex is released when the guard is dropped. The guard borrows from the mutex, so any attempt to keep it around longer than you have access to the mutex is flagged by the compiler.

My honest opinion is that it is 2021 and it's about time we let computers manage all of our resources, instead of only memory.

Addressing the last part of your comment, that doesn't sound like my experiences writing Rust at all. Regarding memory management and ownership, the majority of the code I write in Rust, I just type the obvious thing and it just works. The majority of the remainder, the compiler points out that I've done something dumb, and it's a trivial fix. The rest of the time, I'm trying to do something genuinely complicated, and the compiler helps me figure out and verify the work in pieces, rather than trying to cram the whole thing in my head at once, and then convince myself that it's correct. When I'm finished, I feel confident that the compiler will catch errors introduced by future maintenance and refactoring, rather than having to cram it all back into my brain at once every time I touch the code.

To me, in both Rust and Go, the trivial cases are trivial. For more-interesting cases, Rust lets me just do the thing and focus on thinking about my problem at a higher level while trusting that the compiler will handle the details. For more-interesting cases with Go, I have to keep track of a bunch of little details and make sure I explicitly clean up every little resource I ever interact with.
> it's hard to find a project from years ago which doesn't "just work" with `go run`

That's not been my experience. On a team I was on, even code from six months prior would sometimes be difficult to compile. They keep changing how GOPRIVATE works, or how modules work, or how vendoring works with modules.
No need to overstate. It's fine, but the rules seem to need to be very bespoke, and any language's parser will do a better job of figuring out syntax.
Sounds like we're in agreement that it's a tactic to shut the opposition up while ensuring we keep killing people indefinitely.

A famous example of this narrative is Mike Rowe discussing how in 2008-2009 everywhere he went there were signs "Hiring (X)", yet nobody wanting to work them.

The reality is, nobody wanted to work THAT job for the WAGE being offered.

Plenty of people hired labor during the recession, if you were unable to find talent that is due to your compensation, not because people don't want to work there.

Sure unemployment will be slashed at some point, but I doubt people will return to these under paying jobs in droves.

Ultrasonic Dryer Dries Clothes in Half the Time (2017)
your posts here hit the nail on the head with regards to something I've been trying to articulate about this situation, plus many others in the past few years:

why does everyone assume—when obviously, demonstrably massive profit incentives are on the line—that everyone in key positions of power will act 100% honestly and altruistically?

I'm not even advocating that everyone be a complete vaccine-denier or whatever, I'm just kind of shocked at the immune system response-like reaction to even skepticism of the situation, given that the aforementioned factors are at play. it's never, "well, I understand and empathize with your skepticism, but I still believe what I believe to be the truth." instead, you get attacked for even sharing mild skepticism!

how did things come to be this way?
How do you deal with false positives?

If the commit hook rejects anything where rules are triggered, a way to force the comrit is needed for the cases when the rule finding is not reanny an issue.

Hmm, I would have thought that a lot of people 'looking for a server image' would be spinning up a VM from a cloud provider, who probably doesn't yet offer the newest version? Of course, depending on how disposable your server will be, you may not want the newest, I wouldn't generally use any non-LTS versions in production, but maybe that's just me.

To amplify Paul's point: The legal standard in all criminal trials is "Beyond a reasonable doubt":

> The standard that must be met by the prosecution's evidence in a criminal prosecution: that no other logical explanation can be derived from the facts except that the defendant committed the crime, thereby overcoming the presumption that a person is innocent until proven guilty.

And yet, DNA testing has exonerated many convicted in death-penalty cases where that standard should be applied with the most thought and care.

I don't think there any conclusion other than: The system of trial-by-peers is flawed with a measurable error rate. The judges failed, the juries failed and the prosecution failed; Innocent people have been put to death, while the real culprits have walked free.

Putting people to death based on such a flawed system is unconscionable.

I have one of those LG monitors, although mine has a usb-c input which also handles display-port (so it's 2xDP + 2xHDMI).

What really bugs me with HDMI is that monitors and computers never seem to agree on the image standard and for some reason always default to washed-out colours, even when connecting a PC to a PC monitor (as opposed to a TV).

Under Linux/X11 I know how to set it in full range mode [0], but I was using such a monitor at home and connected it the HDMI output of my gaming PC (Radeon GPU) and couldn't figure out how to fix the washed-out colours. In the end I bit the bullet and bought a display-port switch.

Now windows complains about the "limited display connectivity" (the monitor has a USB hub whose upstream is the usb-c/dp connector), but at least the colours look OK.

It's intended as a shell semantic where anything bare on the command line just gets run, no matter your scope.

However when we introduced classes, we thought it was a more "dev-oriented" semantic, so we changed return there.

I was surprised by this too, but as a maintainer of the project we’ve had comparatively little Windows requests compared to other systems. Qualitatively, for the folks who have asked for Windows support, WSL has been a viable option and reduced the support surface area for the small team behind the tool.

On the speed front, the core of Semgrep is OCaml, with a Python wrapper to add niceties like pattern composition. I’m less close to that part of the codebase, but think more and more logic is being moved to OCaml for performance reasons.
We (Uncountable) opened up a Munich office in 2018 and have been building an engineering team there after having personnel only in SF.

Our experience was that there is a big pool of talent in both Munich and Berlin, but the number of high-tech startup jobs is much less than you would find in the U.S. coastal corridors.

The job market is much less efficient. I find that it's much harder to find about about good candidates and to get our name out there as a company. The only reliable source of engineering candidates for us in Munich has actually been HN.

I am in the U.K. I will tell you this. There never was a pandemic in this country. The amount of deaths during this scamdemic is actually a little less than the year before.

When you switch off the tel a lie vision you realize the co called virus just goes away. People have wised up to this scam now and are not complying with the New World Order agenda.

If there was a REAL pandemic you would not have people arguing about weather there is a pandemic or NOT.

After thinking about this for a while, I think they've been making the right move.

However, I'd like to see:

- Xcode, Final Cut Pro, and other pro apps with full feature-sets designed specifically for iPad (touch, mouse, and keyboard)

- A new keyboard accessory more like a laptop with a strong base like a Surface Book 3

- A revamped Terminal.app for Mac and iPad with rendering perf improvements like in iTerm2, Alacritty, and Kitty

- Virtualization support, or at least something that somehow runs Linux containers

- Advanced tiling window management... maybe only via keyboard shortcuts

- Ability to script iPad OS behavior - window management and keyboard remapping

- Ability to run unsigned CLI and GUI apps from inside a terminal and/or launched via other iOS apps like would be used in iOS Xcode

Bonus: Unlockable bootloader to run alternative OS's like M1 Macs can.

If they did all of these I'd strongly consider buying one as my primary device.
