This type of quote is getting to be a version of that "everything digresses to calling people nazi" rule.

Anyway, you're presuming that people would have a choice

The only reason Facebook and Google are going to have to get permission to not track you on iOS is the App Store. If they could circumvent the App Store you bet they would and the first thing to go would be those pesky privacy protections.

I don't want to give my CC info to a half dozen different companies with worse data security records than Apple, but suddenly every app will require me to install another "App Store", so suddenly my choices become "share my info with dozens of companies that can sell it" vs "don't install any software"

That's such a great choice you've given me.

I just love YouTube's automatic transcripts for this. Open, copy it into a text document so you can read it in a bigger window, then ctrl-f. You can skim it quickly to find the key point you're after. Sometimes things will be transcribed incorrectly but the surrounding context helps.
Yeah what you linked me to talks about I believe the same case another user already linked to. It was more correct for me to say I was speaking more about the Ontario, Canada healthcare system as that is the one I work within. The healthcare systems are mostly run at the provincial level so it can be hard to talk about the countries healthcare as a whole as it can often vary province to province.
people who have large enough audiences to generate an income by simply being controversial

That is neither journalism, nor reporting. That is editorial.
Not having a schedule with the people candidates are supposed to speak with which includes their titles/roles and not introducing yourself to the candidate. Then complain if a candidates makes the wrong assumptions about people’s roles and ignore the right assumptions candidates make when meeting and greeting strangers.

When cops do this it’s entrapment but when a hiring manager does it... it’s good. I guess the police should go out and entrap as many people as they can I’m sure they’ll find a few criminals among the population.

Why not have the CEO role play a custodian with a mop and flip out when candidates make assumptions?

The explanation of the discrepancy is that I had interpreted the numbers in OP article and in parent as miles, not meters.

I think that it's a general human-nature rule. We love new things but we discount what ever WAS new and become less enthusiastic about it over time. I've had hobbies where, for years, I could not get enough of them simply because I was always asking questions and looking for the answers. They always felt new. I wonder, and I'm thinking out loud, if looking to expand projects with new and ever harder questions will keep the momentum going.

Also, projects have a lifecycle of their own - very few will last a long time. So it's important to note that we need to put a rush on getting them done. Not because someone is waiting for them but because we lose interest, if there is no forward movement.

I'm one that always starts projects but I never give them hard deadlines so they eventually get dropped simply because I don't move them forward.

I think that rewarding yourself by hitting milestones will definitely help.
Would server vendors start putting out M1 in data centers once Linux truly runs on it?

Doesn't opening up driver specification also let M1 start ruling in the server spaces?
Reliance on deprecated behavior, but without the compiler warning. There may be some hidden risk out there, and we have no idea how much it'll cost to fix or replace.

The example that springs to mind is the social security check printers. I think they wound up reading the wire voltages as checks were printing to duplicate the behavior for the y2k fix. Was urgent as many people relied on that income.

There are rare events that you can't do much about up front, they're external. A pandemic might be a good example. There are other rare events you can simply avoid, but it's often tempting to just skip the maintenance and let someone else deal with it when it breaks. It's rare right? Not like we're going to get blamed, or even be around to have to deal with it.
How nice of your family to offer to send people free compost bins!

If your daughter or son doesn't mind a usability suggestion, I would get rid of the font-weight: 300. As an experiment I tried overriding this with the default font-weight: 400 and the page became much more readable.

font-weight: 300 is modern and trendy and found in a lot of themes, but it makes text hard to read.
Beagle don't let yourself convince so easily, you are still right, they didn't done long term studies in animals, thus its not wrong to say that they skipped long term efficacy or safety in animals. Meaning they skipped it. In who is being done the long term studies? Yes, that's what you thinking.. in humans. These should be done in animals first for years, but what have they done? They skipped it... If you read carefully the study lasted 8 weeks and 15 days only. Quote "At week 8 (4 weeks after the second vaccination), all animals were challenged with the wild virus)", then "lung sections from animals that were killed at day 14 or 15".
So, only two months and 15 days max, then when the vaccine was authorized they jumped directly to humans.

While in this animal trial they only waited 4 weeks after the second vaccination and challenged, the challenge you mention that was done only 3 months later, this is a small example of a mini long term follow up. They havent done that at all.. They skipped it, just to do the follow up in.. humans, so yes humans are still being trialed with the vaccines. When the next wave comes in the winter, more than 3 months from today, 7 months ahead, in October, it will be a catastrophe caused by ADE.
It is not incorrect. Its in US miles, not meters. I mistook the original as posting in miles and responded in kind. meters makes more sense--more fine-grained.
One thing that is fascinating about the last decade or so is the extent to which the narrative that the media is pushing as "obvious" and "inevitable" is out of synch with what the actual facts on the ground are or what is realistic or actually technically or economically feasible. Some examples of farcical media narratives:

humans will settle Mars soon.

-Not happening. Primarily due to radiation and general life support problems.

driverless cars are just around the corner.

-No they are not for various, obvious technical reasons that should be apparent to anybody who both understands technology and the real world of driving.

solar power is inevitable and will be widespread and cheap

-solar power will always be lower energy density than chemical power or nuclear power. It will always have higher fixed costs per unit generated than large scale hydro. Solar takes a lot of space and is expensive to produce low density power.

Battery power electric cars are going to be in broad demand by consumers soon.

-I doubt it. Range is limited. Battery technology has not advanced significantly in the past decade. I think more widespread public transportation (e.g. trains) is more likely as hydrocarbon fuels become more expensive.

Run away global warming is inevitable or it is a human tractable problem that we can solve by spending money on new technologies.

-It is actually really complicated. There are very complicated feedback loops at work. It is not as simple as more CO2 in the atmosphere higher temperatures. For one thing as CO2 concentrations increase plants grow faster and turn more CO2 into solid compounds. Ditto for temperatures. Additionally there is a tragedy of the commons effect about CO2 emissions.

The Earth has had much higher CO2 in the past and life has survived and often thrived. Also sometimes CO2 did increase rapidly such as when there were massive flood basalt eruptions for example.

I could go on on topics the media gets wrong...
airbnb issues refunds as credit. when you go to book a place, the default option to pay is "pay half now, half later". the trick is, they don't let you use credit for the 2nd payment. users can only find this by digging through the rules. currently dealing with this as I am just trying to use my credit due to covid cancellations (credits also EXPIRE after a year)
That's not the point: it's the "undetectable" part that's the problem.

You could definitely point a bunch of microwave equipment at someone's room and cause some damage, that's not in question - but to somehow cause a bunch of neurological problems, but not leave thermal burns, or heat up jewellery, or fry electronics?

And this isn't a "with todays tech" issue either. This is all being proposed as being totally possible with 90s-era technology. The sheer amount of wireless tech innovation and availability since then has been enormous - what feels possible today is ignoring that in the 90s a cellphone looked like a brick with an antenna on it. Solid-state microwave elements weren't COTS parts you bought from China in bulk.

We're talking about doing a lot of very difficult to do things, with equipment and power outputs which would require substantial draw from either residential electricity supply systems, or banks of lead-acid batteries (no lithium ion in that age either - so you have a transport and weight problem).

The more disperse you propose the signal is, the less plausible it gets too - at some point your number of field teams and the size of the equipment is going up and up and up and all of this is happening within line-of-sight (or near enough) of a target - microwaves don't penetrate multiple buildings.
This comment is the reason I come to HN.

What fraction of c qualifies as "relativistic" in this case?
Interesting to note that the author never mentions one of the biggest criticisms of the Chromium project. That they keep adding so many APIs that other browser vendors are forced to follow them instead of what they want to work on. This has been less apparent on mobile because Safari has a large share but not on desktop. The chromium team is known to build things that the standards body doesn't agree on, ship it, and every other vendor is forced to support it because of Chrome's huge marketshare on desktop otherwise their browser will appear "broken". They're angry that they can't do this on mobile.

The M1 Macs are essentially iPhone/iPad hardware. The latest iPad Pro shares the same M1 chip, and I imagine it shares most other components as well.
The only commonality of the cases (in Cuba, China, Australia, Washington) is that all the victims were Government employees.

My take is, like yours, that all the cases are industrial injuries. Much better for the Government to blame 'adversaries' than to be on the hook for possibly millions of dollars in Workers' Compensation payouts.
I agree with you ('consumer' being the keyword if it's meant to mean 'high volume') but I wonder how a company digs it's way out of the situation defined in the thread's article.

Is a company intended to become better at toaster components? push the component complexity down to a more basic level and then have more bespoke manufacturing done? or to become a manufacturer/final assembler and all that that really implies?

The real answer I guess is to command that your outsourced engineers design in some IoT toaster sorcery that allows you to sell toaster information to third parties.
I personally think this just has to do with less openness from projects to talk to designers and/or UX designers.
Most OSS projects are maintained by a small group that wants to do everything themselves and consider "modern" things as unneeded cruft.

This makes the step for a (UX) designer to propose to help a lot more difficult as rejection is high because besides them giving some input and maybe a few designs they cannot just do a PR where they send over some HTML/CSS that makes it better.

Also a programmer as a hobby can kickstart a project, find a buddy to help maybe on the UI a bit here and there and they call it a day.
It's like the Sabbath mode on some ovens that let you change the temp, but don't feed back the change to the display panel till after a random delay.

I guess if you add a Rube Goldberg machine to your electronics, it's ok.

My favorite was when I visited some family members that lived in a area with many devout Jewish people. The building they lived in didn't have elevators with a Sabbath mode, and when I entered the elevator, an elderly woman who had been waiting entered with me and mumbled "I live on floor 12". I pressed the button for her, but it was only later that I realized she was waiting for someone to do the work for her without specifically instructing them to do the work because of the day. So odd.
>The thing that hasn't come about yet though is, sales, marketing, accounting can also be outsourced. Dare I say automated.

Yep, just consider how much sales, marketing and accounting work the App and Play store has automated. Not to mention software delivery and installation work.

If it's the TrustArc Ads Compliance Manager, it makes a call to all the ad networks requesting the network's opt out cookie. The opt out cookie prevents the user from being tracked by that ad network across all sites. Cookie banner opt outs usually only prevent tracking from the site you are one.

Unlike GDPR, which uses a website as the gate for all cookies, the ad industry also has self-regulatory programs. Participation in these programs require that a website allow a user to opt out of all ad networks present on their site. TrustArc built a module to do that: https://preferences-mgr.truste.com/.

If you run the tool there, it will make a call to the ad networks listed. Of course if you're running an ad blocker, the call will get blocked and it will look like the tool doesn't do anything.

Data oriented programming isn't a framework or paradigm. It's simply a principle that says that programs should be written to solve particular problems on particular hardware. If objects serve a purpose to this end, then they are also data oriented programming.

Also the author never really addresses if the API is needed or not, or if it provides a good experience. If Chrome has it, it is seen as a positive. Personally, i'm very happy that PWAs can't spam me with "You left something in your cart" notifications on iOS.
I'm also impressed with the implementation for the blog itself. I love this sort of clean, version-tracked sort of implementation.
It’s been tried but the political opposition is massive for various reasons.
Servers/Datacenters aren't just about being able to run Linux though. How are they going to do firmware updates? Apple can break stuff as there is no contract there like there is with x86 server vendors who test all their updates to make sure Windows and Linux runs. Besides there's the whole issue of configuration/systems management, remote access and bulk chip availability.
The ceo of a major, publicly traded company said you would be able to. Doesn't seem far fetched to believe him.
My guess is that part of their perceived income flow implies that the MacOS is running on it. Music purchases, surveillance marketing, app purchases, dunno.

If they had the extra volume potential, it would be cool to see an extra cost M1 computer that boots and runs Linux with no fuss.
It's the problem of keeping things in living memory. The craziest thing about human civilization is every 75 years or so, we have to complete a 100% knowledge transfer of everything we know to a new set of humans who start out not knowing anything about it.

Obviously it's a little more complex then that, but the importance and value of education and documentation is very much in that realm: drop the next generation in a desert, and we go back to the stone age instantly.

I wonder to what extent it's related to precisely the fact that physical labour is ever more seen as "menial".

I do this too. For most places I use it as a shopping list, and I just keep adding small things until I have enough for a bigger order, or until I get free delivery. Gotta save those bucks.

For places that sell expensive stuff like synths, guitars, tech stuff, I add it so I can see the total amount. Then I sleep on it. Sometimes more than one night. It might get bought along the way, so it's a great deterrent for impulse purchases.
I think you are right, the "small fish" are buying Bitcoin hoping for speculative gains, but also big fish are buying it to hedge against inflation. I don't think Tesla bought Bitcoin speculating on big price rises, for example.

It also seems true that hedging against inflation (and socialism and so on) would also be expected to rise the price of gold - but a peak in August 2020 seems consistent with the hedging theory. Also, Bitcoin is easier to smuggle across borders than gold. Maybe it really is taking over. Or maybe the big fish already have so much gold that they want to diversify a bit.

AAPL actually produces stuff, but it probably isn't completely risk free, either? People could become too poor to afford their asking prices, and while it may not crash to zero, it could crash enough to hurt (given that it probably is also quite expensive atm).

By definition there are more accurate models, the PCA is kind of like a general lossy compression algorithm. Any model you come up with can be superseded by a more accurate model up until you have a perfect description of a phenomenon, but PCA is a well understood technique, can be computed very fast using optimized algorithms and GPUs and pretty much anyone can easily understand PCA and apply it to a wide variety of problems, and from a technical standpoint the ratio of output bits to input bits preserves the maximum amount of information.

We use PCA quite a lot at my quant firm do something similar to clustering in high dimensional spaces. A simple use case would be to arrange stocks so that stocks that move similarly to one another are grouped close together.

Another use case for PCA is breaking stocks down into constituent components, for example being able to express the price of a stock as a linear combination of factors: MSFT = 5% oil + 10% interest rates + 40% tech sector + ...

You can also do this for things like ETFs, where in principle an ETF is potentially made up of 100 stocks, but in practice only 10 of those stocks really determine the price, so if you're engaged in ETF market making you can hold neutral portfolio by carrying the ETF long and a small handful of stocks short.

>What I’m saying is you can choose to not buy into one of those uber-programmable enterprise platforms and instead (let someone) build fast and user friendly specific software just for your needs.

the problem is not everyone can afford a IT dept with software programmers that can build out custom software.

If IT is not their core most companies seek out software that is already out there with somewhat decent reputation.

edit: at one of my previous job, they have a in-house software that was build with older technology that needs to rebuild. they outsourced it to Capgemini. it started when i join the company and by the time that i was out (4 yrs). they still didn't get it covert. they kick out Capgemini around two years in and hand it to another consulting company and the new consulting company junk out Capgemini's code and start from scratch.

i'll like to know more details on how they botched this project, it always make me curious how they botch it up for 4 years and two million wasted.
