I think they are referring to PFASs [0] which have been a popular topic on HN for a while now. I’m not sure if the so-called perfluorocarbon emulsions in the original article would be classified as PFASs and/or carry the same risks, though.

I feel like they can’t afford to offer tiered accounts.

For these modes of appraising the worth of individuals for advertising, aren’t the most valuable targets ones who would pay to avoid it? As in, people too stingy to pay are unreliable consumers —- but that’s the only tier advertisers could reach.
The suggestions I get look good too but I'm rarely just looking for anything interesting to watch, I want to watch something specific.
There's nothing stopping you from using class component as opposed to the new functional component though. It works completely fine, as it ever was, and in fact, I know a lot of teams are still using it. The API on that front is indeed surprisingly stable. Furthermore, there haven't been any shiny new thing since hooks, and it starting to feel like boring old tech. It's not the cool kid on the block anymore.

China's treatment of HK was supposed to be regulated by a treaty with the UK - but as you point out it was under the sovereignty of China.

That's pretty different to Taiwan which has never been under the sovereignty of China.

I had a piece of self-talk during outages: "don't worry, type" The more energy spent worrying, or in your story panicking, the less energy and focus available for taking action and taking action is [usually] the only way out of a mess

However, that might also go hand in hand with an "blameless post mortem" culture, because if one is trying to solve a problem and cover one's ass, now there are two problems
DIY is important when you need control. Sometimes the libraries just don't do what you want the way you want it.
I think of that as a constraint on when to diy.

If you have a clear view of what done is, and the way you get there, diy is great.

Eg. Fixing my socks by darning them is great.
NYAG stated that "Tether’s claims that its virtual currency was fully backed by U.S. dollars at all times was a lie" and banned it entirely from New York.
You have been able to do that since email existed. You would just pay a few cents extra a month to your ISP for them to run the servers. Their business model wasn't data mining and behavioural manipulation.
Fixed it. thanks.
What's the distinction you draw between making and DIY?
You can get the best of both worlds - fast iteration and fast insert speed - by using a tree. Essentially use a b-tree as a list, and in internal nodes count the number of items contained in each child. Inserts traverse down the tree to find the insert position, insert there and then traverse back up the tree updating indexes. Each leaf should contain a small array of items, and when inserting you can memmove the existing items to to make space. Tuning the size of that array lets you balance the cost of memcpy vs the cost of pointer indirection & allocations on insert.

The whole construction ends up extremely efficient in practice for this kind of thing, since you get log(n) indexed lookup and log(n) insert time. I don’t know why they aren’t used more.
I searched for lawn care videos 2 years ago and still get suggestions in my feed. The videos might be great, but it's not a subject I want to watch. This is pretty common from what I see.
This is the real crime here.
Aw shucks, thank you! That’d be great. Someday!
I am searching for quite sometime an application which can detect, and convert hand drawn shapes on a computer (using mouse or stylus) to proper shapes. This will make life so much easier for someone who makes architecture diagrams frequently. The closest offering I could find was with iPad 'Shape Recognition'[1]. But the number of shapes it detects is limited. It also does not appear to be really - meant for or integrated with - tools like draw.io.

AJAX (Asynchronous Javascript and XML) is purely orthogonal to DOM updates. An AJAX request is just a network request initiated asynchronously via some Javascript on the page, as opposed to a request initiated synchronously when a user clicks a link or submits a form. Response data from an AJAX request could be used to make a direct DOM mutation, update React state, log to the console, or anything else the developer wants.
That's the point I was making originally btw.

HK relies on Chinas word. Taiwan doesn't.
When I did some assembly programming on the Commodore PET, before I got the dual-floppy drive (so I could run their assembler and do lots of other things), I wrote an assembler in Basic that took the source as data statements. Don't remember much since this was over 40 years ago, but is was good enough for me to use.

I also got what was possibly the first external cassette drive for the PET on the west coast.

Those were the days.
Custom solutions are very often DIY, even without any hacking intent. Sometimes, the time you spend on DIY saves you time and money in the long term. Then, no, I just can’t quit DIY!
I view cliques as alienating, like I said above. Of course I'm for 'justice', but it's such a fuzzy word that people can have different views of what is just.

If you conducted a gallup poll, what % of Americans do you think self-identify as "I find justice alienating"?

Most reasonable people are for justice and caring, and the vast majority aren't out to find people they can label as 'problematic' and chase them off the island.
That seems like a secondary concern and also mostly not Berkeley’s responsibility. The part that Berkeley is (or should be) responsible for is that the number of students who could get through its STEM coursework is orders of magnitude higher than the number it currently admits.

Prior to the brits, there was trade along the East African coast; past the Middle East, all the way to India. The main language along the coast became a fusion of Arabic, Indian and Bantu languages. Swahili adopts Arabic arithmetic & language structures e.g 15 is said as ten and five, 7 is Saba. A minister is wazir etc.

Many Old Bantu words such as mti for tree are in Swahili. similarly sounding words are used in languages from west Africa to South Africa (muti, miti).

From India, we have Pilau, chapati, dhania...

This sounds more like (the very very common) "never do your hobby as a job". Nearly all of their points about DIY come back to them feeling like their hobby had turned into a pressure-inducing full-time job, and that's a personal issue, nothing to do with DIY itself.

I've been a DIYer/maker/whatever-its-called-this-year since as long as I can remember. It doesn't mean I'm going to feel pressured to spend weeks fix the family TV rather than just go buy a new one on the day, and it doesn't mean I need to fix/build every single thing in the house. It just means I enjoy making/fixing/building projects when inspiration strikes.

I keep it as a hobby by picking and choosing which projects I'll actually enjoy and/or which ones will benefit me in some way ($20 DIY fix on a $900 washing machine "benefits" me even if it's not as enjoyable).
I am sometimes working on DIY projects, be it electronics or home renovation things, for the same reason I started programming - it seems interesting and I would like to understand how things work and possibly make something awesome. I guess it is part of engineering mindset.

While my interest in computers resulted in IT career, I don't have the same expectations for all the DIY things that I do. I understand those are just hobbies that make life more interesting.

And I think that I still understand when to buy instead of DIY. :)
I’d just like to say, don’t feel bad.

The responses you’ve received aren’t particularly kind and as a rust user, I’m sorry for that.

It’s entirely fair to say you don’t understand why it’s not possible to have self referential structs, because it is possible;

If you have raw pointers you can have self referential types... so why not refs?

The issue here is that, like references passed to closures, the type checker isn’t sophisticated enough to track the references and ensure things are correct.

You could very plausibly have a struct in the form described above where moving ‘phrase’ is forbidden until the vec is cleared.

You can literally do that inside a function.

So... the problem here is the rust compiler, and that it’s difficult to implement.
Remittance has (at least for me) become way easier in the last few years, using Wise (Transferwise) or even my own bank. The fees are smaller than I'd pay buying and selling crypto for way less hassle and price risk. Unless you mean circumventing capital controls, which is definitely a grey market thing.
In the UK here. You're pretty much right; the goal as stated was to get a first dose into all of the clinically vulnerable people (long term illness, diabetic, severely asthmatic, etc) and those over 50 before moving on to second doses. IIRC
those groups accounted for about 99% of deaths from covid.

In other words, the supply was enough to make sure that all of those people could get one dose in twelve weeks, so that's the dose interval that was set.

That goal (quickly vaccinate all of the at risk population with one dose) was pretty much achieved. I guess it remains to be seen whether it was the right goal, but early indications (deaths/day down from 1,000 to 10 or so) are positive. (Obviously correlation is not causation and so on, and there undoubtedly a ton of confounders.)
Globes are great for inquisitiveness, but they are often outdated, with globes providers in certain regions simply never updating them. Many globes in the US still have Czechoslovakia as a country, let alone not having South Sudan on it, for example. And let's not get started about all the globes being Made in China and what that means for getting a perception of that region of the world.

Owning a globe and giving it to a child is just a start.
Another question: how do you make people maintain quality docs? Sometimes I start to doubt, if it's even possible to maintain some order with bigger solutions, because even if you can force yourself to document well everything, there will be always people that either don't know solution well enough, they don't know how to prepare good documentation or they don't want to bother with it.
Including inheritance in nim was a design mistake and is enough to make me pass on it. Go and Rust were correct in avoiding inheritance in the language.

I’m very interested in this space also. Especially living remotely, I find HN to be my primary place for meeting like minded people.

Even when I go to cities, intentional spaces for people to openly discuss ideas and collaborate aren’t really promoted. The layout of venues doesn’t really encourage this either.

I hear about this dreadful "scalability" problem with GraphQL and N+1 queries and all other sorts of geysers constantly, but I see a lot more success stories than failures.
It's not about what the "non-productive" people will do to entertain themselves. They will socialize, pick up a hobby, spend time with their family, etc. There's no concern about them whatsoever. It's the rest of the population, the minority that is the most competent. These people, by definition laid out in the premise, cannot be replaced by one of the non-productive people because the non-productive cannot outcompete the robots. Let's imagine that robots get so good that only the most competent 30% of the population must work, in the traditional sense of the word work, to maintain the infrastructure, keep the robots going, whatever that looks like.

Why would anyone in the most competent 30% of the population be willing to accept a deal where they must work because they are the most competent, but the less competent people get to spend all their time traveling, socializing, enjoying romantic relationships, etc? And remember, they must ALL accept this deal because if any significant percentage of them drops out the infrastructure isn't maintained.
My friend Eddie, who knows a lot about Elon Musk, says Musk is setting the stage to start his own coin, funded by divesting bitcoin. Mining will be performed on the moon and powered by solar. By using Luna Block Coin you'll be supporting the first moon colony and also helping save the planet and get a favorable warranty on your Tesla. Eddie's a little weird (his walls are covered in clippings about Musk with all these strings and sticky notes over top), but I kinda hope he's right here.

This is a weird article.

Besides being over-dramatic, she focuses on her past belief DIY is mostly about saving money, and being proved wrong. Therefore she needs to quit DIY like it's a drug or something.

Optimizing only for time and money is an awful way to live in my opinion. I like learning how things work, becoming skilled at a task so I can help other people, etc.

As an anecdote, I actually just sat right down now after installing a dash cam in my car.

I had to learn how to tap into the right fuses, how to remove door panels without breaking them, cable management, etc. Had to used service manuals made for mechanics and lots of youtube to figure it all out.

Took 6 hours and maybe $10 in tools. I could have had a mechanic do it in 1 hour for ~$150 if I wanted though.

But now I understand more how wiring and interior panels work, which is really satisfying. I'm planning on doing this again with my friend's car, and with a dashcam I bought my mom for mother's day. I'm happy to give her something that will give me more peace of mind while she's driving.
So which vaccines do you think are the problem?
And there are regional brands in many areas - just below Subway and McDonalds you’ll find things like Culver’s or Jack in the Box or In-n-Out - regional. Gas stations and restaurants are often regional, especially as cuisine varies.

Of course you can find McDonalds everywhere but you’ll find those in Europe, also.

I think the main thing that makes it feel superficially homogeneous is the shared language - which is now even more shared since the advent of Hollywood and national entertainment.
Yup and exact reason why all this talk about censoring “disinformation” is so dangerous.

Depends on the size of the remittance and whether the receiver is well banked, has photo ID and a smart phone.

You can send $50 via Western Union for $1.25, but it might cost 10x to 20x that in BTC transaction fees alone. The receiver can pick up cash at any WU location without an ID, but the last time I checked, to cash out cryptocurrency into a currency people actually use, exchanges require bank accounts, photo IDs and smart phones with cameras that can verify identities, and they charge their owns fees on top of the network's transaction fee.

To me that it always the problem that has faced any minority groups anywhere -- it's never obvious to the majority what the alienating behavior is. So they have to painstakingly explain it, and of course some of them will always get accused of overreacting and attacking the majority. What else can be done?

This reddit post [0], by a PhD with a background in high risk biocontainment viruses, goes into great detail that the evidence, including genetic evidence, points to covid-19 crossed over from nature hundreds of miles away from Wuhan, before making its way to the meat market there and spreading further.

This post is very comprehensive, including a table of contents and linked references. The other articles I have seen, including this one, don't have a fraction of the documented facts backing them up that this one does. I highly recommend checking it out if interested.

"Hamer himself notes that VMAT2 plays at most a minor role in influencing spirituality.[13] Furthermore, Hamer's claim that the VMAT2 gene contributes to spirituality is controversial.[13] Hamer's study has not been published in a peer reviewed journal and a reanalysis of the correlation demonstrates that it is not statistically significant."

I think what is much more likely is that there is fervour to conform and social value in appearing to conform. What people _really_ believe is clearly much more pragmatic.
> Next year, when the VR/AR headset comes out, I will be buying one for each member of my family. As we wear these devices in our living room, playing new kinds of games or watching a new kind of TV together, we will also be able to talk to each other (and, because of the high bandwidth, even send full 3D meshes back and forth) in the real world due to this new network.

You seem to me to be barking up the wrong tree by lionizing osteopathy, which is junk science, with "doctor" skill. (DOs are poser MDs from the STEM equivalent of Scientology.)

I saw two otolaryngologists. One was an arrogant prick who said I had allergies despite having an extreme left lateralization Weber test, the other found what I suspected from research: SCDS visible on a CT scan requiring forthcoming invasive brain surgery to repair it. It has nothing to do with MD, DO, or RN but the skill, wisdom, and professionalism of a specific provider.
Sure. Now let's imagine you're in the top 10% of competence that has to work and I'm in the 15th percentile so I don't have to work because the robots outcompete me. Why would you work all day at a traditional job knowing that I get to do whatever I want all day? I get to travel, spend time with my family, enjoy my hobbies, focus on romantic relationships, all while you're working. And not just me, 90% of everyone on the planet gets to just do whatever we want while you must work. Would you accept that deal? Do you think the majority of the most competent people on the planet would accept that kind of deal?

Very common technique to manipulate public opinion. If you want to quash some idea, just take the most extreme example (even if only the fringe believe it) and prove it false (which is easy since you picked the most extreme example). Once you’ve proven it false, then forever refer to any related claim as “already proven false”.

I mean, it is definitely germane. Microsoft has always written their own software for their consoles, and Nintendo's history making console firmware is so complicated that they may as well just write it themselves. Building a mass-market console using off-the-shelf components and free software is a little more common now (See: Nintendo Switch running Android on an Nvidia Tegra), but Sony was really the first major console manufacturer to do it.

The "notoriety" portion comes from the OtherOS side of things, as the other commenter mentioned. In the PS2 era, you could order a kit from Sony containing all of the software/hardware you needed to turn your PS2 into a reasonably capable Linux machine. To make a long story short, licensing is always a concern and it blew back in Sony's face. The whole "Linux on Playstation" thing is a blemish on Sony's reputation, and it's why a lot of people call Sony the "biggest offender" license abuse.
