As an American happy to live in a country with all our protected freedoms, there are some parts of the Constitution that other reasonable countries don't agree with, and that's fine. There are other cultures with other value systems and they're no less valid.

(1) Freedom of Assembly, part of our 1st Amendment, is one example.

A French court recently decided a protest in Paris could not take place. The court rationale was that a previous protest a few years ago in the same area on the same issue led to violence and destruction of property.

The French Constitution allows freedom of speech, but not freedom of assembly, and Americans are often confused by that. The freedom to write and say what you want does not equate to the freedom to protest in the streets. Not allowing freedom of assembly would have saved many lives in the protests that have swept the US, though potentially at the cost of slower social progress.

(2) Right to bear arms, our 2nd amendment, is another example.

The vast majority of first-world countries don't agree that the right to bear arms is an inalienable human right in today's society.

As Americans, we may prefer the added protection against government tyranny and our personal ability to protect ourselves and our belongings. Unarguably, however, it comes at the cost of mass shootings, and additionally, though many factors are responsible for our uniquely high homicide rate, easy availability of firearms certainly does not help to curb it.

--- All this to say, many of our protected rights have clear, substantial disadvantages. It's not our place to tell every other country in the world how to operate.
Why would it be a violation of his rights? The police have a right to investigate and they sure have a right to gather fingerprints from drugs.

According to the chatter among the talking heads earlier this year, the theory of a lab escape was “misinformation” that was “dangerous” and “fomenting discord” among the population.

Many people, including in the media, would have preferred that theory was actively censored.
My favourite Mac-ism is dragging an USB-stick icon onto the Trashcan to safely remove it.

I wish macOS would steal some ideas from Windows instead of iOS. And Windows really needs to stop stealing ideas from macOS, macOS hasn't been on the forefront of UX since at least the late 90's.
Some radio's not too bad. Ok, how about a radio with an aux jack?

I started street skateboarding at 36, am now 40. Last session was this Saturday, it was awesome heelfliping on flat and ollieing stairs.

Over these four years I've had 5 ankle sprains (balanced over each foot), every single time it was me not warming up (like, at all) and pushing it beyond the fatigue limit ("one more try" just one too much). I have a warmup routine, I now diligently follow, no excuses (it's 5min).

Still, it's something I always wanted to do and never had the guts to try, for completely baseless fears of looking stupid or being incompetent, especially as I grew older. A fantastic, supportive local crew made a ton of difference erasing that mindset. Then I learned about Neal Unger[1], and just saw that IG post[2] from Gou Miyagi about that 80yo learning to skate the other day...

I'm so glad I made the jump and will do anything to continue as long as I can. Eric Koston[0] has this said: "it's like my hand, I wouldn't get rid of my hand", and this is exactly how I feel about it.

I can absolutely do three-second exposures free-handed. It takes a lot of practice and isn't very consistent. But why in the world would I do that? I can get as much light in one as an iPhone can fake in three, and I can always get a pocket tripod or monopod if I really need three seconds. You're inventing problems with better cameras to make the things you have to do to overcome the limitations of a smaller sensor sound impressive.

That's really the point. If all I had was a phone camera, I would be glad for all this software support. For all the times I have my DSLR, the 10x bigger sensor obviates the need for all of that.
"Can you write me a parser that has a <1% false negative and <1% false positive rate on real email addresses?"

A similar enough issue happens in coding interviews anyway. Sometimes the interviewee is aware of a library that essentially solves the problem for you. In those cases I give them some credit for knowing of it and then ask them to implement it anyway, as if the library didn't exist (because there are a large number of problems out there for which a solution doesn't yet exist, and when hiring a SWE you need to find someone who can write new solutions from scratch for those situations; whether a given toy interview problem is such a situation doesn't matter for the purpose of evaluating said skills).

As the law recognises that the law can be changed, protesting to change the law is not generally itself a crime.

Laws get interpreted by humans, not by computers, so they should not to be taken literally and in isolation — they’re both harder and laxer in different ways.

The Uighur Muslims are forbidden from practicing their religion, and are force fed pork and wine. They're prohibited from fasting in Ramadhan. They are exploited in factories. This is well known, don't deny it.
Right now, every developer will tell you that Apple is significantly more strict with what is allowed on the App Store than the Google Play store is. Not perfect, but more strict.

This has caused tech giants like Facebook considerable hurt. For example, the fact that they have to have those embarrassing privacy labels on their app in the App Store. Or that they have to present that prompt asking for permission to use the advertising identifier.

Right now, even though this hurts tech Giants, this benefits users. Google draws less than 1/10th of the data from an iPhone user as they do an Android user.

If sideloading was enabled, this check on their privacy rules would no longer exist because they could force users to sideload, which means they would immediately do so, and users would lose the benefits that Apple‘s restrictions give them.

If users want to sideload, They should buy an android where this check does not exist, and they can be on the less restrictive Google play store where it doesn’t matter. If they want Apple to constrain the power of apps to spy on them, they buy an iPhone.

Even though you might vehemently disagree with Apple, I respect the right of users to choose whether they want a restricted but more private experience, or less restricted but less private experience.

Loss of compression comes from material breakdown, the other big one is from dirt build up. Dirt in the injectors causes bad spray pattern. Dirt in the cooling system reduces heat rejection. Dirt in the lube system increases friction losses. Dirt in the intake and exhaust causes pumping losses.

The amount of dirt a car is exposed to varies by 2-3 orders of magnitude between a farm truck compared to a sports car.

Rarely will you see an old sports car lose more than 20% power. Farm trucks lose 50%+, and the farmers keep running them until they just don't move at all.

*Side note, dirt does sometimes help. As a teen, I had an old ford festiva I shared with my brother. One day we washed the filthy engine bay and after that the thing would not idle. Turns out the dirty grease was plugging a vacuum leak around the pivot on the throttle valve.
I think OP has a good point. Although language if fuzzy, so are "binary" signals once you drill down to the physical layer. The fuzziness of language goes away if you allow yourself to assume an idealized language embedding model. Similar ideas are in an epsilon ball around the embedding of some concrete linguistic instantiation of the idea.

An example of a binary signal: "It is unambiguously true that a lab leak did not occur in Wuhan." The spread of this binary signal could be measured using the technique described above. A BERT embedding may suffice.

The channels are just tweets, DMs, and Vox articles.
Your overall point stands, but I have a feeling it falls into the trappings of the biases of HN which are disproportionately drawn from SV and not normal for the general population. Case and point:

>Let’s say you start your first job making $120k

This may be normal in SV but it's not normal for the industry as a whole. The average starting salary is hard to find government statistics, but BLS says the average median mid-career salary is $110k.[1][2] AFAIK, BLS doesn't track starting salaries, but considering the median salary in [3] aligns with BLS data, it's probably not far off to say a median starting salary closer to $69k. That's just software roles and most other STEM positions are considerably lower. All that being said, I don't think it negates your point, but we have to be careful about generalizing using SV-like numbers.

"apps that allow you to borrow Dollars (I.e. stable coins pegged to the dollar) and earn interest between 2-15% APR"

The very definition of "bullshit leverage products for speculators". This is a rather safe investment in the same sense that subprime mortgage-backed securities were in 2007.
Don't buy an iPhone then. I used to be all about customizing my phone, but when the "Phone" app on my android crashed repeatedly while trying to call 911 in an emergency, I now only want a locked-down and stable piece of hardware as my phone.

"If you had to seduce it to a rentence, the answer might be: anything that catifies one's intellectual gruriosity."
The second coming of Jobs came along with a transition from "The computer for the rest of us", and "Easy to use" to "Think Different", "Lickable" and eventaully luxury lifestlye branding.

It's understandably hard to market a computer with the line that it is "easy to use" -- customers don't want to feel "stupid." And Apple has had a lot more financial success as a computing analog to BMW, Mercedes, Miele, Bosch, etc. than as the "friendly computer."

The transition to OS X came with a focus on "it just works" rather than "easy to use" -- and from my perspective many things, like the Finder and window management, became more difficult than in classic Mac OS.

NeXTstep was a powerful operating system for power users (marketed towards education and science, not your mom and dad.) Its focus was not on ease of use, though it did have a consistent high quality GUI (better than OS X, IMHO). Mac OS X is in many ways just a reskinning of NeXTstep.

(IMHO the Lisa Office System was the height of usable, intuitive, usable Apple GUIs.)

Finally, Apple has an intuitive easy to use operating system to sell, and it makes them a lot more money than Macs do: iOS.
Most of flights to Europe are codeshares with Belavia, so not really.
I think that it could still be that, but with a focus on panspermia in general, not the specific case of Earth. For the specific case of Earth, wouldn't we want to instead be investigating the survivability of single-celled microbes?

It seems like one could rather trivially dismiss the idea that earth was seeded with tardigrade-like organisms based on the fact that they're too evolutionarily advanced to account for six of the seven kingdoms of life we have on this planet.
I've noticed a lot of convergence these days. There aren't a lot of differences between iOS and Android, Mac OS and Windows, PS5 and Xbox.

I used Mac OS 7 and 8 extensively back in the day, and despite some UI similarities it was a totally different experience from Windows machines. The computers had totally different ports (parallel and ps/2 vs proprietary mac connectors), and a different set of software (Clarisworks vs Word Perfect). There were even developers who made games just for Macs like Ambrosia Software.

Nowadays, you can basically use the same software (Chrome, Slack, VSCode, Steam) on Windows, Mac, or Linux. And can share a USB-C hub between a Macbook and a Dell.

> If the lab leak theory was easy to confirm, it would have been done already.

If a zoonotic event in the wild with SARS-COV2 was easy to confirm, it would have been done already.

Either hypothesis has circunstancial evidence. But there isn't an equal effort of investigate both candidate theories.
From the post:

> I’m sure that my above post is unfair in the sense that these three people spent several years working hard on a book, and I’m basing my entire reaction on some combination of the title, a technical error that someone found, and an interview where one of the authors was maybe a bit too relaxed. These three pieces of information are in no way a summary of the actual book!

And here we see System 1 in action, helping write a reaction to a book not even read yet.

> The Wuhan Institute hasn’t shared raw data, safety logs and lab records on its extensive work with coronaviruses in bats, which many consider the most likely source of the virus.

Nevertheless, the gain of function research with coronaviruses has been documented in the peer-reviewed literature.

The lack of new information from the Wuhan Institute, despite its longstanding research activities, is probably the most compelling evidence in support of the lab escape hypothesis.

If the evidence pointed elsewhere, it would be released. The most likely explanation is that the Institute's fingerprints are all over this thing.

The second most compelling evidence is that to date the reservoir species has not been found.

rm has "--no-preserve-root", which isn't quite "--no-seriously-delete-my-root-directory" but is at least heading in that direction.
The original Mac predates that, and I think it is quite conceivable that "Enter" to select a file name and edit it was in use back then.
Trading Cryptos Using Machine Learning
They could use a simple sorting machine that sorts pearls based on size (like how most coin sorting machines work - run all coins over a small hole, the smallest coins fall through, then run have a slightly larger hole after that, and so on).

Then they could have a simple optical/laser sensor below each hole to count how many smallest, smaller, small, medium, large, larger, and largest pearls fall through each hole.

The benefit would then be that if customers wanted pearls of a certain size, they are already sorted.

Maybe there is an enterprising user here that reads this, can easily create it, and reaches out to pearl companies.
Believe it or not, the way the filesystem worked on the original Mac operating system was that things did stay where you put them. Open a disk and the folders on it could be put anywhere in that 2D space, and each folder's contents could similarly be anywhere in their virtual 2D space, and each disk/folder opened in its own window that even re-opened in exactly the same position with exactly the same size as when you last closed it.
I did see flowchart.fun, it got a lot of love here on hn. Seems great for small graphs to quickly communicate something. But I couldnt express large flows in it.

I actually started knotend using handson table, then switched to just writing one in react. Handson had a commercial license I didnt want to pay for. And a lot of features I dont need. I was hoping to not have to hand roll it but I havent found a lib yet with a balance if minimal feature set and a public use license.

I’ll give progress updates on twitter, feel free to send suggestions there or on this thread. Thanks.
> Why is HN so bitter towards it? I find it strange that everyone here simply dismisses it as a worthless concept. What brand-new, experimental technologies with open-source development have ever been perfect from the get-go?

I don't know personally, but burning time on the internet just to type out words and try to convince other people of your opinions - this does not speak to me. I put my money in play and that speaks volumes.
While the lab was correlated to the outbreak, it still may not be the cause of the outbreak. It may just be that those with expertise in bat coronavirus transmission to humans were in Wuhan so that is where it was first detected. Unfortunately, due to their secrecy and loose relationship with the truth, China's officials lack credibility in this so we're stuck wondering.
Years ago I went to a presentation by Tesla in the Bay Area because they were going to let people sit in one of the early prototype Roadsters.

They basically explained that they were betting the company on a "Moore's Law" of batteries. The presentation included a graph of battery capacity doubling every 7 years.
What this article really showed me that this RFC is actually pretty harmful.

Supporting all of the rules outlined in the spec is probably a huge burden for maintainers of mail clients and servers. Obviously some parts of the spec are going to be omitted. It's hard to blame them for it, but the same person that rightfully skipped over implementing the routing thingy might've also wrongfully assumed there won't be a Japanese character in the address. And that's what's so bad.

You might introduce more issues in your system, by taking the full spec into consideration for your validation, instead of using the whatwg regex someone posted here.

• did not affect Belarus in any way.

• had nothing to do with Greece, Lithuania or Ireland, the countries most directly affected in this incident.

• resulted in immediate diplomatic apologies from both Spain and France, two of the countries that were involved.

• was condemned by the U.N. Secretary General.
Shop Talk: A new version of the technical interview
Based on what my engineering manager seems stressed about and has his calendar filled with, it is hiring.

I'm surprised that the high rate of turnover in tech is not considered a crisis given all the time he spends on that. Even assuming that employee tenure is worthless, a senior level engineer loses 1/3 of his time to this.

I concluded Mac interface designers are out of touch with reality when I found out that to "eject" pendrives you had to drag them to the trash bin.

I mean, now they do show a convenient "eject" symbol next to the name of the remove-able drive on the Finder, but the "drag to trash" thing still work, and it always surprises people, they always assume it means you want to delete all files in a disk, not that you want to eject the disk.
