"prior art"

Are you suggesting GraphQL is novel and non-obvious? The term "prior art" of course comes from the patent law.

Are you suggesting that the term "prior art" does not imply any relation (as in "relate to")? If so, that's false.
Very likely there's no connection at all (or at least none known) between whatever he was working on and ECC. Just as there's no particular connection between RSA cryptography (which makes use of prime numbers hundreds of digits long) and most of the things pure mathematicians studying prime numbers are interested in.

(Of course it's always risky saying "no connection at all" about two things in mathematics, where sometimes very surprising connections turn up.)

??? How do you figure? There’s an infrastructure investment bill in the works which hopefully doesn’t pass if the Democrats get to write it. I certainly haven’t heard of any more COVID relief bills in the works though.
You say misleading caricature, yet all three of the people named in this article are middle aged white men.
These scientists had a very lax attitude towards safety, especially considering they understood from their direct research that bat coronaviruses were deadly.

Part of a larger pattern of negligence that was noted even before the pandemic.

Reminds me of Nextdoor. Initially, you could only interact with people relatively close by. But then they opened it up to be citywide, to increase engagement, no doubt.

Now you see the same toxic behavior as on other social networks... the small community feel has been lost.

Probably some relation to Dunbar's number. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunbar's_number
Thanks for having the courage to explain your story and keep steady in front of discomfort. A true inspiration, balls of steel as they say.
I wonder what went down at the meeting when the name “Twitter Pro” was put on the table.
CHIMICHANGA!
From the article: The bonuses were paid because they were "concerned they could otherwise lose the three top executives."
Why don't your neighbors knock on your door now? What changed?
Most of the 99% are proud of being vaccinated, so they don't seem to have a problem with the situation.
Wow, that sounds pretty good. I'm a TWC legacy customer paying ~30/mo for 20Mbps, called Spectrum last month to ask about upgrade options (need upload speed to be .5Mbps faster for WFH) and they told me their cheapest option was 100Mbps which would be $80/mo after the first year.

AT&T was only slightly less after the apparently mandatory monthly equipment fee, despite the fact that I own my cable modem. Right now I'm looking into EarthLink at "only" $68/mo for 35Mbps. As far as I can tell, cheap internet has already been ruined.
That’s not how bonuses should work. Plus, if there’s no money to pay other employees, they shouldn’t pay executives.
Not rich here. Wife's company got COVID loans. They were forgiven. Company had to prove money was spent on rent, salaries, benefits. Company didn't make money on it. Employees were able to keep their jobs. No bonuses involved there.
Is there a formal proof that FSD requires the same level of intelligence of AGI?

Stereo vision can be built from cameras as well, even with a single moving camera. This is exactly what tesla is doing with their new DNN but with multiple cameras.

I don’t disagree with you that Tesla is still far away from FSD, but using what’s not possible today to draw the conclusion that a goal is not achievable in the future is the opposite of first principle thinking. 10 years ago i could also say go AI can’t even beat semi-pro so we will never be able to solve Go with AI.
You are smugly describing your personal benefits from the system that is also used to spread massive amounts of propaganda, organize campaigns to socially ruin people and to coordinate political violence.
It's not going to help directly. But if the inflation was a) produced by printing money that b) disproportionately ended up in the pockets of a subset of the population, one way or another, then it amounts to a wealth transfer.

Comcast does the same thing. I moved less than one mile but from a block that was wired with FiOS to one where Comcast was the only option and the same plan with 30% more expensive.
Not sure about "let them break" for a government-imposed lockdown, but I agree that giving support directly to employees to stay home from work would have been a better strategy since you cut out the middleman. (Use whatever method works. Via the unemployment infrastructure for example)
Can’t you use something like iMazing (I’m not a paid shill just a satisfied user and there are many similar other products from competitors) and do an offline dump from the backup?

Please do not do this to HN. It'd make the service way less usable for everyone else.
The act of writing the cards is part of the learning process. Every time I make a stack, I end up knowing half of it before I even start 'using' it. With software cards, this doesn't work so well. And you can always put the stack into your purse or backpack if your pockets are small. I'm sure soldiers have somewhere they can put a stack of cards.
Have you counted on how much this would have costed?
Personally I want to encourage a very talented developers continued development of his ambitious SerenityOS vision whose journey is thoroughly documented in his YouTube channel which is an amazing treasure resource for learning how different parts of the OS/Kernel/GUI/Browser/JS VM/x86 Emulator/etc are implemented.

At first I never expected SerenityOS would ever be advanced enough to use, but seeing how much it has progressed and the active community that's garnered around it has made me a believer.

Up until now he's been developing as a side project, I'm excited to see where he can take it working on it full-time.

You're on very shaky ground here.

It doesn't seem like you're trying very hard to respond to the strongest possible interpretation of the topic at hand, but rather some very finely sliced minutiae.

And besides, we can measure one minutes contribution, and we can, if we choose, apply proportional mitigation factors or costs or penalties.

We can look at past failures and use those to adjust our course.

Rowhammer, Spectre, etc. are all very high-information attacks which strike me as not worth the effort for run of the mill adversaries. Three-letter agencies, however, I suspect might have played around with them - if a cloud vendor is secure, and they need a way to un-secure it, they have the resources to get microarchitectural researchers sworn to secrecy to make these attacks work.

Thank you for this. My feelings exactly. Corona has shown me how easy it is to create fanatics to enforce any crazy rules in a fascist dictatorship.

I also use Tweetbot, and am experiencing very little of what everybody else is complaining about. I see only my timeline, and I use lists to make sure I don't miss anything from certain people I follow.

Tweetbot has had mute longer than Twitter has, and some, um, acquaintances I follow I've had muted for years. And I mute keywords if something is getting way too much play, like the electric F-150.

Will I pay Twitter $3/month? Sure, since I'd like to pay for what I use, just like I subscribe to the latest Tweetbot client. Will I use the Twitter client to get the benefits of Twitter Blue? Probably not.
People generally overestimate the benefit of working long hours and underestimate the value of working hard during those hours. If working 55 hours a week is enough to cause serious bodily harm, then it seems likely that the optimal number of working hours from a productivity perspective is far less than that.

I sometimes think it’s useful to think of myself as a mental athlete. My job is to perform intellectual feats of strength in controlled efforts. The rest of my time I spend preparing for those efforts by relaxing.
I disagree.

> 1. Business value isn’t always a measure of coding velocity. Interruptions are often gifts in disguise.

The value isn't in the interruptions itself, but rather in the injection of context and perspective to the work being done.

Those can be delivered through interruptions like email and chat, but it is by no means necessary. Relying on interruptions is just a lazy default that results in much less real value delivery than could be achieved with a more thoughtful approach to organization design and workflows.

> 2. The ability to work in a way that allows for interruption is a skill that can be learned.

Working deeply on a problem without interruption (no checking email, HN, etc.) is the real skill, and one that is getting increasingly difficult to practice.

> Over the years I’ve learned to recognize interruptions as opportunities to re-assess my priorities.

That's a good habit, but it would probably be better to just minimize interruptions and set aside time for such reflection.

> I’ve also learned to write code in a way that reduces cognitive load so that interruptions aren’t so disruptive to my productivity.

This seems promising, but I would be willing to be that the benefits of reducing cognitive load would be even greater in an environment of minimal interruptions.
I think it's actually pretty likely that women are just built better than men. I can't even attempt to explain why but it just appears that a lot of ailments that affect men tend to be rather minimized in women after they pass through menopause.

I don't know if it's actually fair to try and ascribe expected lifetimes to lifestyle when there are some pretty clear biological differences - this strikes me as a sort of Occam's Razor situation.
I originally thought somehow 10,000 people are claiming Google did something wrong and coordinated to make this lawsuit happen. I'm not a lawyer but I think that might not be the case. Looks like it's a class action lawsuit being done on behalf of 10,000 women, not necessarily initiated or organized by all of them.

> Four women who worked at Google have won class-action status to proceed with their gender pay disparity lawsuit, reports Bloomberg. The latest ruling in the protracted legal battle means the suit can now apply to 10,800 women who held various positions at the tech giant since 2013.
Check kiting is fraud especially when the govt does it.
Shouldn't we just assume that anything we upload to the cloud could be made public? Either through a hack, an employee, a misconfiguration, etc. If something is sensitive enough that you don't want it public it probably shouldn't be in the cloud, period. Regardless of what the default visibility is.

e: On second thought there probably are exceptions - I'm not worried that something backed up to Backblaze will be leaked, for example. But a random flash card app? I'd assume that info is public. Maybe I'm just paranoid.
I mean, since Apple controls the entire OS there is already no guarantee that the code that gets installed is the code that gets executed. In other words, you already had that problem. (Of having to trust Apple in the first place.)
It looks like at present, there's codebases here: https://gitlab.com/LibreFoodPantry/client-solutions for three separate food pantries.

Presumably, the goal of this project is to build a common platform that eventually replaces the individual one-off solutions that exist today for these three pantries, and are useful for more food pantries in the future.
HA-HA!
It's only a fraction of the consequences of preaching equality of everything for it's own sake in your doodles, and in all your PR.
You could just as well be describing a bulletin board in a physical space, like a community center. Or even an SMS/WhatsApp group.

The problems you're describing are endemic to social spaces and won't be resolved by removing _one_ social space.
The problem isn't really people quitting actually because like you said, that could be good. It's more like the business can't pay to stay open because there aren't enough customers to cover the variable costs. So now the business is closed and you have no where to spend your money... This realistically only affects small businesses like your local grocery store or whatever. Once the pandemic lifts, all that cheap property gets bought up by the Walmarts of the world and the concentration of power to the top 1% continues.

Right? I could totally be wrong here.
Downtown Brooklyn has a lot more new luxury highrise buildings with fiber wired in from day 1, as compared to pre-war brownstones in other neighborhoods where even _if_ Verizon has fiber on your block your elderly out-of-state landlady and absentee super won't let them in to wire up the unit.
Love it or lump it, that's where the users are. Limiting your userbase inherently gimps the value proposition of your application, which is especially an issue when your program is something as simple as an email client.
Yes, and what did those employees who would have otherwise been unemployed spend their money on? Likely rent was the #1 item, thus transferring wealth from tax dollars to asset holders.
Maybe they should fix their websites and refund / cancellation policies. No one would mind booking directly from a hotel website if they offered the same price, convenience and guarantees that booking does.
This is Marx's "Theory of Value," of course.
Why do we feel the need to get ahead of others? Because we see how the lower classes are treated and would rather live a better life. Our justified fears of falling behind the curve are manipulated by our circumstances, that we have no control over, but others do. We are driven in the direction of escape from these circumstances. It's just more fight or flight, and we mostly choose flight. Our fears are a yolk, our labors are harnessed and converted to profit. We may get ahead of our peers, but we do not get very far.
First thing I thought too... "Someone's rebuilding DMOZ?"

What a clickbait title. Four women are suing Google in a class action lawsuit that could apply to around 10k women. It’s not like 10k women are actively engaged in this.
Yes, the title seems fairly misleading.
What did they do with the regular income they had during that period that would have gone to rent, salaries, etc.?
I think you are right that we have not unilaterally progressed in terms of equitability since 1970, but by my understanding of history the upward mobility you describe would be much more accessible to a woman or non-white person in America today than in 1970. "An" American worker, sure. Someone in the right demographic. But not every American, not by a long shot (not to say that today everyone has equal opportunities across gender and racial demographics, but we've improved).
SciA11y: Improving the Accessibility of Scientific Documents
The majority of scientific papers are distributed in PDF, which pose challenges for accessibility, especially for blind and low vision (BLV) readers.

SciA11y incorporates several machine learning models to extract the content of scientific PDFs and render this content as accessible HTML, with added novel navigational features to support screen reader users.

The only speculation is whether or not the 4C scenario is the one we're in. The map itself is derived from climate models, which have been shown to be accurate in reproducing current conditions, when fed correct levels of atmospheric greenhouse gasses. I can dig up the paper that says this if anyone would care to read it.
This is often presenteeism, and it can be a result of overwork.
This used to be the case with ferns as well. You could sell bundles of ferns to the flower trade. In a lot of old growth, ferns are the primary plant and this would wipe out the entire undergrowth.
Where’s that? I’ll totally play with that if I can !
Building codes, at least in my state, aren't explicitly legislated. There is a carveout for a governmental department that determines them.

For better or worse most of the rules of a government aren't explicitly legislated - usually they create the ability for some governmental department to exist and make them instead.
Can Rowhammer bypass ECC and not be detected by an hw_event_mc_err_type? I don't think so. Why would someone have ECC without a sufficiently sophisticated driver?

> A false positive means the patient isn't sick with covid, not that there exists no covid on that patient.
> false positives increase due to more viral spread that will attack asymptomatic/immune individuals

Ok, so it sounds like you're making the argument that a patient, who has COVID in their system, but is asymptomatic and tests positive would be considered a false positive, even though they can still spread the virus?
Thanks, I'll tentatively update to 2002.

Where does it say that?

Edit: thanks, you guys - seems to have been a misunderstanding so we've reverted to 1999 now.
MacOS only, no thanks.
Inflation is regressive. The rich don’t literally hoard cash, and their investments are likely to appreciate, or at least not suffer as badly as real inflation.

Have you seen how much the stock market went up in the last year?

The way pacman installs new kernels by default is just replacing the old package with the new one. This is bad because if for some reason the new kernel package gets corrupted, the system will fail to boot, and you will have to arch-chroot into the system to install the kernel again. Fedora on the other hand keeps old kernels for some time before removing them.
It's going to be interesting to see analysis of various "covid response" policies in terms of their intended vs. actual consequence.

I'm guessing that countries that tied corporate money to payroll somehow are going to see better impacts than those that didn't.

There's also a lot of weird incentives and corner cases. Especially in countries where states/provinces/whatever have a lot of autonomy, there is a ton of variation too.

Cracking the Coding Interview is only from 2008.

Before that I remember talking about interview questions with others at college. Also joelonsoftware.com (from Joel Spolsky who later was a cofounder of Stackoverflow) had a sister site called techinterview.org and I'm sure there were other sites.
The COVID relief has helped the rich in the same way that the mortgage tax deduction 'mostly' helps the rich[1]: the majority of the dollars go to aid wealthy people, despite the number of non-wealthy beneficiaries being much higher.

I have no idea either, but I'm not aware of any fundamental reasons that violation of causality is forbidden.

And imagining world with all those spooky quantum effects is already almost impossible, at least for me :)
Oh I totally agree in this particular instance nothing good came from this "bailout". I'm merely trying to say I understand why small businesses need bailouts in addition to their employees.
That was a joke :)

But for the argument's sake, imagine being able to collaborate with other players on Git, with a PR based workflow, wouldn't it be cool? Even if it's totally useless and inefficient?
>mom and pop shop that is forced to close during the peak should receive money.

No, they shouldn't. Don't give any money to any corporations, give all the money exclusively to people.

If Mom and Pop run a business, they can get cash as humans to float their business, just like any human could. They could temporarily lay off all their staff (which is OK, because their staff are humans, and are also getting cash)

There was never any valid reason to give a single cent to any company.
That style is a bit too brutalist for my tastes. I prefer a splash of color, like with BeOS or something like that.
Lock down the economy, kill small businesses, hand out printed money like candy to big corporations. Nothing suspicious going on...
If everyone's bank account balance goes up by 50% uniformly, lets say one person has 100,000 and another has 10,000. After the increase they now have 150,000 and 15,000 respectively. But the low end item costs also go up due to inflation, so food now costs 50% more lets say. The thinking is that this eats into the lower bracket much more than the higher one. So inflation would increase the divide between rich and poor. I think this makes sense, interested if I am wrong here please let me know your thoughts!
It wasn't covid. It was the policies imposed in the name of covid. Including the absolutely unnecessary lockdowns and other restrictions that very rapidly exempted the elites and those making the decisions.
If I have an idea of what I’m looking for, I just use search. It was useless until a few years ago but has gotten dramatically better recently.
