I'm in Mexico, but going back to Hungary in a few weeks to try to get my COVID vaccine. There's a soccer match tomorrow (I mean Saturday) with Fradi, the favourite football team of the prime minister, that's why he opened up the country more. Many people just go with it, as they just want to get back to normal, even though the vaccines that people got are not protecting yet.

His main goal is to open up even more to be able to organize EU soccer championship, that's why he's rushing ahead.

Viktor Orban wanted to be a professional soccer player when he was a child, but he wasn't good enough, and now the whole country is suffering because of his childhood trauma.
The shield advertises that it's got google assistant built in. Is there a version that's not a hot mic?

Yours and responders' enthusiasm puts the shield on my list for if my roku stops seeing youtube.
Have you looked at a map recently?
Maybe not post his response for the whole company to see? It's the first thing you learn about managing people.
Well, I would agree that the actual death count is bigger than what is reported but 10x is a LOT and claiming extraordinary 100x is ridiculous unless someone gives proper evidence for that.
All the shortages in crematorium facilities are really unfortunate but they are basically near Delhi region. Basing your overall 10x figure for the ENTIRE India on 1 region (granted it is one of the biggest in the nation) is not right unless you provide evidence for that.
The figure in Delhi might be 5x-10x but for entire India? I don't know and one should definitely stay away from "I guess" or "I believe" in this situation unless you provide resources in my opinion.
The US could shut bitcoin almost completely any time it wanted simply by saying that no US bank is allowed to deal with it, and no US bank is allowed to deal with any foreign bank that deals with it. On/Off ramps to actually buy things with bitcoin would dry up, and its lack of practical use as a day-to-day currency would mean it had practically no value. Legal business that tried to accept it would essentially have to become money launderers to do so.

It is not censorship resistant, the entire system could be censored. Heck, FinCEN is already moving forward with regulations that require regulatory reporting on crypto transactions touching US institutions in a similar way to CTR reports. Bitcoin exists only because it is not a threat to governmental monetary control, and could be squashed the moment that changes.
The problem here IMO is that "reasonable use" is a loophole that can be used to justify anything, or at least it doesn't tell the customer how to use the device before expecting trouble.

If the limitation was also expressed in objective, preferably quantitative terms, it would be clear. Internet conections usually have that: 1Tb transfer at 100Mb/s speed, then 64kb/s. 50% of the time, the speed may be limited by congestion, etc.
Please don't understand this as an offense. We have a lot of open source php cms systems already (e.g., drupal, typo3, joomla, silverstripe, ezpublish, ...). Is there anything incredible that october or winter cms has to offer to the world, which is not already provided by competitive projects?
My point is that market participants seems to not care about what a stock intrinsically is when they choose one to buy (like also voting and governance), they just care about the price of that stock.
>Just as camera and mic location access is hidden behind a specific permission dialog in case you didn't notice.

Of course I know, the hypocrisy is that you trust your grandma with the camera permissions but not with a permission for a music player to run when the screen is turned off or with a map/fitness tracking page to get access to your location. If Apple devs would be competent they could implement it in a secure way like the camera API (or maybe the devs are competent and the reasons not to do it are financial)

Dude, Safari is worse then Firefox, stop showing the USB example. Anyway screw this, Microsoft was foprced to show a browser choice screen and Apple will be forced to show the same, it will take a few years but tit will happen. If you are not in EU you will not be affected at all. Since US will still use the inferior browser still all websites will have to code for it and native apps will have to be made to workaround the limitations.
No. Adderall forces the brain to release the dopamine it already has and causes increased brain activity, using more glucose. It's more likely to cause this condition or make it substantially worse than it is to treat it.

The amphetamine molecule enters the neutron and does several things, two of which are:

1) Force dopamine that is in storage in the neuron to be released prematurely.

2) Reverse the direction of the dopamine transporter so that free dopamine within the neuron that hasn't been reclaimed yet is forced back out into the synaptic space. Usually the transporter moves dopamine from the synaptic space back into the neuron.

To restore dopamine levels you'd need plenty of rest and a healthy diet. Forcing the brain to use the last dregs of dopamine it has left with drugs would be the worst thing you could possibly do.

Edit: In short amphetamine doesn't replace or substitute for dopamine, it just forces the brain to use what it already has. If you're running low it's going to mess you up.
> some people will shift from A to B.

1. Is this number at all significant?

2. Should theory prevent working Americans from having a decent life given that empirically restaurants and cafes are plentiful in Europe and are filled to the brim with customers?
Probably the employee was extremely hypocritical.

E: Making fun of people's name leads to genocide.
DHH: it was wrong to allow this. But it is also not genocide, so let's move on.
E: No! Making fun of people's names IS genocide. Fire everyone who had anything to do with this because it's genocide.
DHH: Okay, here is a screenshot of you laughing along in the company chat. Is it still genocide, or can we move on?

With that said, this list shouldn't have existed. If I were to see a coworker collecting funny sounding customer names, I'd tell him to stop and never do that again.
Also the Democratic People's Republic of Korea isn't actually a democracy?!
> 1. I purchase a Roku _remote_.

> 5. Roku installs all my apps I use automatically.

Maybe I'm missing something that should have been implied, but whose Roku is this (and how does it know), and why should your remote have any say about which apps (read: remote code execution) it installs?
> It obviously has value to people and businesses, otherwise the prices wouldn't be going up for 10+ years expressed in fiat currency, now would they?

Useful concepts and events: speculation, economic bubble, tulip mania.
No, the user can't do that. They can't do that with records, and they can't do that with bits either.

Users can -download- specific bits and play them via decoding, and that's about it. Nobody can actually re-arrange anything themselves, although one could spend their life trying to manually flip bits to magically recreate it in the same manner. Good luck.

The artist isn't limiting anything other than sharing those pre-made bits without a license/permission. And that is not unreasonable. My stance on this is referring to works of art as merely "bits" for the sake of argument is a bit ridiculous. We don't refer to LPs as "a collection of atoms", etc.

Referring to art or products in general as "just bits" is just being pedantic for the sake of winning an argument.
I just renewed a certificate using Sectigo, it was a painful experience.
Basically we want to show a bunch of pois around a real estate (like the nearest super market, airport and so on).

We build a service calculating those but have trouble getting the data.

It is more of a nice gimmick for us. Since the pricing changes using Google maps apis is just prohibitively expensive.

There are other companies providing the data but those too are somewhat costly.

Maybe we should use open street map as a data source.
In the short-term amphetamines and sugar are great to push yourself. And in the long-term, some people find they function better with some amphetamine in their system.

But, I can think of no /quicker/ route to some sort of intense crash and possible health issues than using a constant diet of sugar and speed to push oneself beyond their capacity day in and day out 24/7.
This post has 1199 points and 290 comments, a 4:1 ratio.

This always rings me an alarm: Hey, this is something extraordinary even Hacker News can't deal with it (via the usual way, like on posts with an inverse points/comments ratio, indicating hate and flame inside).

Right, this guy is a genius.

Together with Amelia Wattenberger they represent a new wave in storytelling: Meaningful content and meaningful interactions.

The previous wave was proven to be a bubble. Embraced, supported and pushed by mainstream media (NYTimes, Bloomberg, Spotify) the formula for the first wave was not successful: Meaningless (average) content + Meaningless (flashy, art-pour-art, attention-seeking, etc) interaction.
But that's what polymorphism does.

Somewhere deep in the code is calling a.foo(), but when you pass a subclass of A that overrides foo(), then this code "magically" calls that new implementation.

This is where specialization shines and no other paradigm allows this so elegantly and so simply.
Even if we only consider the direct self-interest of website owners, website owners may want to disable FLoC in order to prevent competing websites and adversaries from being able to target that website's visitors with ads. The more effective those ads are, the more they are taking away business from the websites that have not disabled FLoC.
The pyramid says belittling jokes are acts of bias. It says they're as bad as slurs. It says they help prop up systemic discrimination. And it shows it isn't just 1 non expert's opinion.

Those are debatable points. But they're relevant if someone else says belittling jokes are harmless.

Did the employee say anything about genocide actually? Or did they just expect people to focus on the relevant parts?
The anti-theft argument is a bit over stated.

1. The thief would probably still find the tracker.

2. You would probably still lose connection/track of the device.

3. Police would probably still be reluctant to travel to a private residence somewhere and try to find it.

4. Are you going to physically find and confront a criminal yourself?

Encrypt your digital devices, have backups and insure anything valuable. That is the better than using some tracker and spending your time trying to chase down criminals.
Aw! Did murdering people upset diddums?
30% profit for a fast food restaurant is not credible. It's too competitive. I worked for McDonalds (a long time ago, but...) the best store in the market made a little over 10% profit. Others made less, or even lost money at certain times of the year.
WSJ, March 26 2020: https://www.wsj.com/articles/hospital-capacity-crosses-tippi...

> New York, home to the nation’s largest outbreak of Covid-19, the illness caused by the new coronavirus, is rushing to build a temporary hospital in a Manhattan conference center in the hope of staying ahead of the fast-spreading disease.

> Hospitals in parts of New York City have become so full of critically ill patients that they have steered ambulances elsewhere. The full-to-capacity morgue at Elmhurst Hospital in Queens is using a refrigerated truck to hold some of the dead. Thirteen people died in the hospital in the last 24 hours, said NYC Health + Hospitals, which operates Elmhurst.
There is no such thing as "very mutated". Something is either mutated or not.

Your comment goes aligned with the governement propaganda that this is happening only due to the more dangerous strain. I would agree with it if people were dying AFTER GETTING proper medical care. You cannot solely blame the mutation as people are dying without any treatment. It's the dismal healthcare system and the governments who should be blamed. We are not seeing a surge of death among patients with this strain in UK, and US.

The central government's hubris, and every government's not listening to the experts, behaving relaxed which are to blame.
People making such a fuss over a list of funny names? Yes, that's office fun you wouldn't want your customers to know about, which I guess makes it a bit unprofessional. But still it's absolutely innocent fun. Whoever makes it into an existential political issue has lost it, seriously.
(5) they don't want to help other competing websites to steal their customers using targetted ads
Banking systems has more choke points

Those banking systems are the primary method of turning fiat into bitcoin & vice versa, so those banking choke points are defacto choke points for bitcoin as well.
Unemployment varies from country to country.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/268830/unemployment-rate...

5.8% to 16%

Comparable to the U.S. https://www.statista.com/statistics/273909/seasonally-adjust...

4.4% to 14.7%

Something tells me though that you really don't want to be unemployed in the US... And that a huge number of those jobs in the US are indentured servitude in all but name.
Sleep. Get enough sleep every single night, not just some nights. Sleep cements the memories of the day.
Again, internalizing the true cost of things.

How is this bad?
> Surely he didn't write this JS by hand

It seems parts of it are auto-generated like all those co-ordinates. But then some parts appear as if they are hand-coded.

I also noticed that other program texts are getting assigned to variables (example "line_vert_src"). Could someone please describe what's going on?

That explosion animation is absolutely mind-blowing. Goes to show what can be achieved if someone focuses their attention to a topic to understand it in depth and explain it at the same depth.
We have really similar stories. I'm 32, never used drugs (since other comments were asking for that). It's really hard to explain to the people why you do not remember something, they will just assume that you do not remember because you don't care.
Is this a constructive argument?

Financial freedom is an interesting topic, and one that I don’t have much expertise in.

What is cryptocurrency freeing you from? You listed several opportunities that cryptocurrency could provide you, but I don’t exactly see the correlation with financial freedom.
I doubt this was planned, the whole thing seems like a bunch of bad impulses rather than something done on purpose. Especially since this has absolutely trashed their public reputation.

I completely disagree about Basecamp being better after this. Attrition, no matter the cause, is awful for company morale. Finding out that several teams are just gone without any notice or time to transition is going to make life kind of suck for those who remain. Sure hope their docs are good.

As far as stopping the politics in tech; Basecamp got a glowing write up in Breitbart. “No politics here” is political. There are good and bad ways to handle such things, but blanket bans and “here’s the door if you don’t like it” is hamfisted and clearly bad for retention.
> Where does in the link he claims covid is conquered. He specifically says we are in endgame and to succeed politics should be kept out of the Covid-19 vaccination drive. There were too many guys questioning vaccination. Why twist the sentence?

"Today, Covid cases are declining rapidly in India ... 18 percent of the world's population is in India, a country that saved mankind from a big disaster by saving its citizens from the pandemic."
That’s been discussed a lot elsewhere in the thread. The parent of my comment specially talks about how any barrier to entry (My add: especially legal/criminal ones) deters most unsophisticated/undedicated attackers from widely distributing malware.
> The half-mile long structure is so impressive, it even shows up on satellite images

One would imagine that an article centered on this impressive claim, could display an actual image…
zip.c L70:
#define MAXCOM 256/* Maximum one-line comment size */

So looks like an “annoyance” more than “bug” per se.

Excellent project, yours, btw.
Well that’s about 4 amazing stories in one short comment! Thanks for sharing, and what a start in life!
There were similar claims last time as well. It seems Kerala reported 20k less deaths in 2020[1]. There might be disparity but saying 5x or 10x is too much.

I did this in early 2019 to be able to work on OpenFaaS. Consulting is going well, monetising OSS, less well.

Craig Box has me on the Kubernetes Podcast to talk about the journey and career from FTE to having a company

https://kubernetespodcast.com/episode/116-independent-open-s...

With regards to your current revenue, it takes time to build up your client list and for you to understand what people are willing to pay for, that you can do. As you'll see in my journey, I quit to offer support to commercial users of OpenFaaS, many were happy supporting it themselves because we err on the side of simple / documented. Developer brand and experience is something almost every company with a product needs help with.
The cost of some businesses closing because they can't afford a higher minimum wage has to be considered in the context of every business that can afford the higher wage improving the lives of their minimum wage staff.

Maybe it is worthwhile killing some businesses, and pushing some people to get new jobs or to live on benefits, if the wage increase for others is a greater benefit to society.

Its also worth noting that practically no businesses close when minimum wages have been increased in the past. People suggest its a problem,and logically it makes sense, but it doesn't seem to actually happen in practise.
Unfortunately it seem to not to work in Chinese giardias.

Giardiosis happen rather routinely even in places like Shanghai. Personal experience.
The clear difference from the outset was that Coinbase merely banned discussion of politics, whereas Basecamp made a whole host of changes where the general theme was to restrict any rank-and-file involvement in decision-making and turn the company into one ruled by diktat from the top.

It's why I fully expected that these changes had little to do with politics, but more about employees criticizing some aspect of internal governance.
You do you, I wouldn’t want to work with someone who just showed their ass to the entire internet like that.
Convert Twitter to a Blog
I make a prototype for converting your tweet to a blog post. will be SEO friendly

Might be useful for someone who don't like 'blogging' but actively tweet something out OR just for people who want a simple admin page(in this case your twitter)

Here is the demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhosFYuXqAc

What do you guys think? will someone pay for it?
Noblesse oblige.
I don't think they kneecapped themselves, I think they're just not letting a good crisis go to waste.
That isn’t true. NASA has many contractors. The biggest joke made about NASA is that it exists to give as many jobs to different Congressional districts as possible.

The SpaceX bid wasn’t just superior to the other two bids, it also aligned with the Artemis’s mission to get to Mars. SpaceX’s Starship is about getting to Mars and the Moon is just a stop.

Dynetics and Blue Origin’s bid was about getting to the Moon. It didn’t support the longer term vision of Artemis IMO.

I think many people also forget this is the first of two Lunar bids. The second will be for “recurring landing services”.

For all the criticism of Elon, SpaceX is a far superior launch company to what is currently in the market.

We will see what will happen with ULA’s Vulcan Centaur, but right now SpaceX is winning.

Is about your own hypocrisy. Apple is limiting iMessages and is fine with you but the notion that Google would limit the Maps app to their own store makes you mad. It makes sense that you are selfish and don't care about the larger picture

Anyway if you could look at the real world and not at the fantasy created by the FUD you would see that on Android there is no Facebook app store and Facebook is stiull present on the google Play store(and yes Apple and Apple users are not more special that for only for them Facebook will make a new store)
I was raised by an alcoholic. You’re not wrong that drug abuse affects others, and yes kids. But prohibition not only doesn’t address that, it amplifies it.

I wasn’t just raised by an alcoholic. I was raised by an addict. Being dragged bar to bar, party to party, neglected and abused while my mom was drinking was one thing.

Being loaded up in a car to far flung places up and down the mid-Atlantic in the middle of the night for god knows what was another thing.

I have more specific reasons I favor full legalization of drugs, but “think of the children” definitely falls flat for my experience. If drugs were legal I sincerely doubt I would have spent a considerable amount of my childhood waking up 100s of miles from home, people I cared about in jail, probably a great deal of risk I was put in and many others as well.

one of the many public browser RCE.
Or look for the ps5 jailbreaks, the browser is the common denominator for most systems and its leaky as hell given that JS is dynamically typed and everything gets JIT-ed to hell (https://webkit.org/blog/3362/introducing-the-webkit-ftl-jit/) most exploits I've seen are about tricking webkit into type mismatching + JIT "invalidation".
WASM open this hole even wider
Not just the healthcare system. Everything in the US is like this: Government bureaucracies (especially the ones the poor need to use), the legal system, the tax code, the educational systems. It goes on and on. Everything operates on the principle of "you better be able to fight for yourself, because no one else is going to." I'm always shocked when I encounter the rare instances when people in these positions actually help the people they're supposedly being paid to help, instead of putting in the absolute minimum of effort and cashing their paycheck.
That failed for good reasons. Itanium processors ended up using out of order execution and speculation just like everyone else, because the compilers just don't have enough information compared to an out of order execution engine.
Pretty much yeah. Any coverage (left or right!) of him from now on will include this stuff and paint him in that light. I think he's one step away from people disrupting his events and not being able to speak on college campuses.
they’re hemorrhaging customers too

No evidence of this whatsoever. A bluecheck on Twitter loudly proclaiming that he's not going to pay $99/yr for email (HEY) or never using Basecamp again doesn't count. Citation needed.
How does it work if water has dissolved salts?
Tools like Basecamp are much harder to boycott than consumer goods because they’re so sticky. I’m not even sure “boycott” is the right word here, as I think if they lose any customers it’ll be more of a “loss of faith” problem than a political one.

Personally, while I’d find the list of “funny” names offputting, I wouldn’t cancel. I however would take the buyout if I worked there; leadership there seems genuinely incompetent, and it’s not like remote jobs are rare anymore.
It's trivial to do that in Australia. Is this still a significant challenge in the US?
What led him to those physical issues is however psychological. People need a work-life balance. No matter how interesting or awesome your job is.

He unfortunately is still not looking inward for the actual cause of his problems. He just switched jobs to one less prone to overwork.
But China can afford it and is willing to pay.
