I like skateboarding a lot, watch a lot of videos on youtube. I admire Tony Hawk because you NEVER see him without his helmet.

But I watch other skate videos, and people will forego their helmets. i watched one taking place in New York City where a dude was jumping down a flight of stairs, crashed, and slammed his noggin on the ground, out cold. And then he took a break, went back to it, and landed the trick.

And everyone was cheering him on and acting like he was a hero for recovering. It was like watching a cult. I think he is a fucking idiot! If he was wearing a helmet there would not have BEEN an injury. Wear a helmet and you won't get a concussion!

If you are a professional skater who chooses not to wear a helmet and encourages that culture, how many people have to get hurt before you consider it a worthy topic of discussion?

The solution here: Thrasher, Berrics, etc. refuse to show videos of photos with people performing without a helmet. That would clean it up overnight.

Everything degrades over time. An archival quality DVD has dyes that resists the bitrot. Archival quality magnetic mediums (HDDs or Tape, or floppies) also resist the bitrot... but they're not immune.

The only way to fully avoid bitrot is to constantly read-and-rewrite the data. You need to read the data before it degrades: that could be once a year, or maybe every few months.

But cold-storage is just a devilishly hard problem. Its probably best to just not deal with that at all. Just get a NAS and read/rewrite the data automatically (aka: "scrub" your data in ZFS terms)
So move it to countries not so authoritarian and interested in actually competing. Problem solved.
European countries should now close their air space to any flights in or out of Belarus until this guy is surrendered in good health.
In general an composable dry run API with the ability to make promises would be good. Then its on the lower level black box to have been tested correctly and make accurate promises.

In practice though what you'll find is that its easier to treat whole systems as black boxes, and test changes in throwaway virt systems, then test them in development environments, then roll them out to prod (or that whole immutable infrastructure thing and throw it all away and replace so you don't get bitten by dev-prod discrepancies in theory).
My two cent is that it’s just inevitable (and personally welcomed). Throughout the history, from tribes to today we have merged in bigger and bigger entities.
And pretending that we can live without a global authority, when supply chains are global, food market are global, most of what happens in politics has global effect is total nonsense IMO. We pretend we live in separate societies with entirely different rules when we are already operating like a single, global organism.

There is some fraud and abuse, of course. And the huge numbers involved mean that even a small percentage of fraud is a huge number. But there never seems to be any statistics that back up the assertion that government (in general) or the US government (in particular) produces outrageous amount of fraud or abuse.
I agree. And in this case, I think the law does follow. As more people think side-loading is as important as protected classes, the laws will change.

These civil rights classes are fairly new and less than a hundred years old, reflecting changes in the way people think and believe.
It’s another UX paradigm I have to remember (and usually don’t) instead of using the standard one which is second nature to me.

I'm confused. If I click "ask again tomorrow", it asks again tomorrow.

But, I still haven't figured out how to delay Windows updates (granted I haven't looked into it seriously yet since I only use it for casual gaming).

The point is, the default UI allows users to delay they update on MacOS easily, while Windows does not.

> I've heard conflicting reports on this.

I've seen conflicting reports, too—at least in the popular press and tech forums. Filtering down to reports with clear sourcing back to actual academic or industry research, the confusion pretty much goes away. This is an issue where the actual facts have been oversimplified and dumbed down and wrong interpretations have caught on and been repeated by people with no understanding of the underlying mechanisms for data loss and for forestalling the data loss.

In particular, there are tons of people on forums like /r/hardware who think that plugging in the SSD will prevent charge from leaking out of a floating gate memory cell or the charge trap memory cells now used by almost all SSDs. It won't. Using the SSD can lead to data being re-written before it has degraded unrecoverably, through several possible mechanisms. But aside from drives like the Samsung 840 and 840 EVO that were retrofitted with explicit data degradation checks as part of their firmware's operation, merely leaving the drive plugged in will not help directly, and the temperature effects compared to leaving it on a shelf will be a slight detriment to data retention.

It's helpful to recall that the JEDEC standards for SSD write endurance require consumer drives to provide 1 year of unpowered data retention for a drive that has reached the end of its write endurance. For brand-new flash, the leakage is orders of magnitude slower than for worn-out flash, so it's quite reasonable to expect data retention comparable to some of the storage mediums that actually make economic sense for archival.

One of the things that came up in the trial was that Apple's share of Fortnite was more than $100 million in a single year. Which means that Epic's earnings from Fortnite on iOS for that year were more than $334 million.

That explains why Epic doesn't want to walk away.
There are a few follow-on questions that would have significant impact to future developments.

1) Did China know that it was a lab-leak? and when did they know?

2) What were the objectives of the gain of function research?

If China had a large coverup and did not provide significant aid to erstwhile allies then they may find these alliances to be much colder in the future. The Chinese population may take extreme issue with their governments choices in handling the pandemic.

If there were connections between the Chinese military and the gain of function research, then countries may demand reparations/financial penalties at later treaty negotiations. China may find that the perception of the world population to the potential of being the victim of a weapons program to be significant.

Both scenarios could yield a situation similar to an extreme version of the Chernobyl disaster and the Soviet Union.

> Your entire argument is premised on this baseless starting assumption, that Ethereum is somehow not a genuine crypto...

Again, one does not follow from the other.

My point is that you can't make generalized statements over crypto governance such as "miners are subservient", based on just the protocol.

We can infer from the history of a given cryptocurrency how its userbase will most likely react to proposed changes. For Bitcoin, that means "nothing happens without majority miner support". Nothing in the protocol says that this is how it works, of course.

Sure, it's users making the decision at the end of the day, but ultimately their hand is forced by the more influential actors in the system. For Bitcoin, that's the validators who have significant capital invested into infrastructure. For Ethereum, that's clearly the personalities, with Vitalik being at the forefront.

Given either alternatives, Bitcoin is unsurprisingly closer to the ideals that popularized cryptocurrency. I don't think there's much of a debate to be had here. Whether Ethereum should therefore be considered "genuine cryptocurrency" is irrelevant.

> "His influence is merited because his contributions have added immense value to $ETH."

This is a variant of the sunk cost fallacy. If your governance is de-facto based around clout - as opposed to capital expenditure - you have more centralization, because clout can't just be reproduced.
> The Bill of Rights wasn't even part of the original constitution

I see this claim frequently, but I still judge it as "mostly false." Multiple states refused to ratify the constitution without the bill of rights. Without the bill of rights, the original constitution would have collapsed in less than ten years. The original constitution by itself was a piece of paper. The constitution together with the bill of rights are the foundation of our government.

How do you approach supporting/maintaining relationships with teams whose work is not the most impactful but who still come to you for engineering support?

Also, how do you balance or position for greater long term impact vs lesser immediate impact?
Allowed? People would do it anyway. Most Eastern European communist era jokes involved the beloved leader. Russian jokes about politicians and policies are even better.

This is an advertisement / press release, which is fine, but should be disclosed as such in the HN title.
The story has a sort of a dreamlike quality. All the words and sentences are there and any individual piece kind of makes sense but if you zoom out the whole thing is nonsense.
No, wait for the scientific evidence. But both trump and the media took a stance without any evidence, pro and against.

Both are just as bad as each other.
How do you insure you are working on the most important items for the TEAM?
The most important to me are the items that deliver impact for the team and the business at the same time. Very hard to get right 100% of the time.
Where do you reach out to get advice outside of your company?
Previous managers and my own manager.
What is missing from the tools you currently have?
Recording impact over time. How to measure that capacity of work achieved is creating desired results.
I don’t mind this method. In the US, typically the advertised price is base and then extras are added on afterwards.

In my order of preference I like:

-current US way
The impact of sanctions against apartheid SA get talked about a lot because it's a good example of international cooperation for non-violent activism.

Unfortunately talking only about sanctions ignores that plenty of governments resisted and watered down the sanctions because the apartheid regime's anti-communist ideology.

The negotiations to phase out apartheid for a democracy began mere months after the fall of the Berlin wall. At that point the collapse of the USSR was imminent, and the apartheid regime's utility as an anti-Communist outpost had expired.

That's not really the correct answer from the user experience perspective, is it?
A pod is a collection of containers. The original suggestion was to pair them, so you’d have a backend container and a frontend container living within the same pod. This is wasteful for the reasons I listed.

You can shove the backend and the frontend into the same container, but it’s needless.

> The most likely scenario in that case would be having a backend-for-frontend pattern, so the FE and its BFF would still go in the same pod, and the other services would probably go in different pods.

They are still two different concerns and don’t need to both be served from the same pod (the BFF pattern doesn’t even remotely require this).

You of course can do whatever you want, but shoving different things together (even if coupled via an API) is an anti pattern.
I can tell you by experience that those problems are exactly the same in London, Paris, and New York, at the very least. Even in Japan, that utopic land of heavenly rail deployment, you get squeezed to an inch of your life at peak times (but at least the guy shoving you in, will wear impeccably-clean white gloves...)
Yes, I have a few of those too. I think of it as Extreme Redditing :)
IMHO installing apps is definitely one of the top two non-intuitive things about Macs.

Not to mention it's not even consistent -- sometimes you drag to Applications, sometimes you double-click a .pkg file, sometimes you go to the App Store.

The other thing, of course, being an application open without any windows but a menubar present. Start QuickTime and... nothing happens except for the menubar changing, which is incredibly easy not to notice at all. Even worse, some apps automatically close when closing the last window (e.g. System Preferences) while others don't (most other apps).

The installation one should be easy to Apple to fix -- when you double-click a .dmg, auto-detect if it contains an .app or .pkg, and just automagically expand, mount, copy or run, unmount, delete expanded file and leave just the original .dmg behind (perhaps asking if you want to delete that too). (Also, macOS needs a centralized place for uninstalling apps as well, particularly .pkg ones.)

The menubar one is trickier. But it doesn't seem unreasonable to either expect an application to quit when closing its main window (e.g. Activity Monitor should follow System Preferences in this), or else for document-centric apps, to open a standardized "start" window with options for types of new documents, a list of recent documents, etc. when all document windows are closed (e.g. what TextEdit and QuickTime could do).

Is this similar to how the EU has minimum tax rates on businesses? Without recalling too many details, I recall Apple and Ireland being sued by the EU government for a sweetheart tax deal they put in place.
I think your comment is thoughtful but I want to say, the item in question is the topic of the entire article.

I do see a solution, the tried and true art of defining what is being talked about.

Some jargon mentioned in passing? Probably no, in many cases, because the tradeoff of defining ALL terms would be stifling. But the actual topic? Worth it.

I hear you on the diversity front. As a former team/tech lead engineer, I was responsible for most of the hiring and resume screening on my team. Finding women and minority candidates was difficult, but unfortunately I was also hampered by the application intake process. In other words, my company wasn't reaching out to places like HBCU's or non-tech-bro events/meetups. That was mostly a function of HR. As a director you'd probably have more sway that I did at the time so maybe rejigger your outreach efforts to be more diverse?
I think GP was referring to the Macintosh of old, where the mice only had a single button, and right click literally didn't exist. You needed to ctrl+click to "right click".

You do make a good point though. From a zero-knowledge perspective, using a mouse with left-click for primary interactions and right-click for secondary interactions isn't the most intuitive concept.
I'll disagree with UX on the Windows Phone. I miss it to this day.

The problem was 100% insufficient ecosystem support. Friends having social apps I simply couldn't get my hands on (and third-party apps that worked great getting blocked by official sources.) And bank apps that required Android/iOS - the convenience of mobile check deposit can't be overstated in the U.S.!

The Surface UX (Windows 10) has improved massively since Windows RT / Windows 8. So I don't think that's to blame, either. But software/ecosystem is everything. And it's what Windows 10 excels at, but every locked-down Windows has failed at.
Set guaranteed tax rates that make keeping money in the US attractive instead of trying to punish those who find the business practices of other sovereign nations offering better treatment.
As a former Swift developer, WWDC always brought great joy and interest from me. Apple always showcases some nifty features (their WWDC end up becoming the de facto documentation for their API, which is a reflection of the quality of the videos and perversely the lack of quality of their documentation).

I know a lot of people complain about the 99$ developer fee each year, but Apple in my humble opinion has the hands down best APIs currently for mobile / touch systems. For example, I created my own music app within a day. And WWDC is the heart of showcasing their features for the year to come.

I don’t program for IOS anymore, but will watch from a far distance. I’m all in on linux these days!

Maybe they will announce a fully specced out Swift language document which describe the ABI and all. They have been talking about ABI for years but still not much to see
He's wrong about those outlets being reliable, but those outlets weren't considered reliable before his presidency either. The term "fake news" wasn't even in the lexicon before 2015-16, and it certainly wasn't something that most people considered would be coming from outlets like NYT or the Washington Post. That's absolutely something that he was right about. It may be a case of a broken clock being right twice a day, but that doesn't mean he wasn't right.
Vitalik was a big blocks supporter for a long time. I saw this post as a 180 as well.

"Now I personally can see that it’s not axiomatically true that doing nothing is safest, especially in the context of a changing environment (for example I continue to believe that Bitcoin’s failure to raise its blocksize by a significant amount in 2016–17 was a travesty and a great violation of many people’s expectations of the protocol, and one that led to more total losses due to excess txfees than the amount lost in the MtGox hack), but this is the argument that you need to be arguing against."[1]

Yes, this is one of the biggest complaints I have with ebikes (though I just try and keep my mouth shut). Rleatively healthy, able-bodied people use ebikes to get into terrain that is way above their pay grade. I love the idea of physically limited people being able to ride offroad, but they are a rare exception to what you normally see.
I see using this word was a bad choice, I edited the post. What I meant was "to stay within the character set the reader already knows how to read".
RE: ZFS - Testing with modern filesystems should be a key point for benchmarking and "getting the most out of a device". Because ZFS contains both logical volume management and a variety of other safety/speed controls it really should've been included.

It is worth noting that there is a lively sub-culture within the MTB scene (at least in the U.S.) that favor "non-traditional" bar designs. Jeff Jones' bar design[0] has become a favorite for bike packers and recreational cyclists. The bar permits a more natural wrist position than the typical riser bar, as well as multiple hand positions. I doubt the design will ever overtake risers (or sweep bars) on the race circuit (which, for better or for worse influence design for most major brands), but I see more and more bikes on the trail with a Jones (or Jones-like) bar.

Not really. HN is rarely conductive for longer conversations, although the ones I do have are always high quality.

A couple of subs on reddit are my go-to place for these conversations. However, I'd rather have them stay niche (15k-ish subs) than have them blow up and lose their charm.
But, again, this isn't really cut and paste at all. It's more like "note position, and _then_ atomically cut and paste". Cutting and pasting files in Windows doesn't work at all like cutting and pasting anything else.

Someone who had never used Windows might reasonably expect, on finding 'cutting' a file did something, that if they never pasted the file would just be deleted, because that's how cut and past normally works.
The exclusionary rule ain't the only reason to engage in parallel construction.

Only Galileo would be a candidate here. And he was not mocked, he was put on trial for something most academics knew since ancient times.

Also, all of these provide evidence to support their claims.

> But even the current mRNA vaccine developers were dismissed for 15-20 years as unimportant.

This. This is the problem, right here.

You believe that mainstream media works like science, and it does not. So when big headlines hit the public opinion with things like "this woman was mocked and now her work on mRNA is the basis of the new vaccines", you take that the academic world actually dismissed those novel ideas.

Science does not work like that. And the media like hyperbole. And that hyperbole is what stucks the most in the public memory.

While true, those issues are present even in system76 and purism. They're even worse because the T500 doesn't have a dedicated GPU or TPM. I know the combination of hardware I have in my T500 has all FOSS drivers and I assume purism is the same.
