I don't even know how to call this to be honest. I mean, it's not scam, it's not MITM, it's not fraud but it's still trying to deceive users...so what is it?

The only parallel that comes to mind are all the "helpful" clickjacking toolbars in Internet Explorer that tried to push every search and every link to their own results page.
I do get the idea of email updates in traditional businesses, it's mostly marketing.

But why would heavily technical people want to clutter their inbox voluntarily with newsletters? Do some people enjoy reading long-form newsletter content in their email client that much?

Go read up on the history of ACTH (Acthar Gel) if you want to see how far this sort of stuff goes. Short summary is its a medication that cost approx $20 a vial for 50+ years and then got hiked to $40,000 a vial in the United States. It was the best known (gold standard) treatment for things like infantile spasms in newborns.

If you don't understand how FLOC works, then maybe you should look into how it works before commenting?

This is basically how the law currently works.

If you are terminally ill you can apply for compassionate use from the FDA. And/or join a study. I think I read a while back that some large percentage of people dying of cancer were members of studies for drugs in process.

You can also get permission directly from a doctor under the "right to try" bill that was passed a few years ago.

I think all options must be after phase I is passed if I remember
Moreover, if Bezos had earned that as income instead of capital gains, it would have been “doubly taxed” upon inheritance; in effect, this rule (as with many others) merely excludes capital gains from taxes that apply to earned income.

The argument that the step up basis avoids double taxation appears to be slight of hand. By the same rationale, you should earn a tax credit for sales taxes paid during the tax year.

This is impossible to know just like many other crimes.
Yeah I literally meant that I try it every three months or so, and it really does improve continually. As they say, I'm watching its career with great interest, at least until the time I'm using it and I don't find a frustrating bug where the easiest workaround is to go back to Emby.
To turn it off you first need to know that Safari is doing something to the domain. That requires some basic understanding of URL structures that non-technical users don't have. They often won't go looking for an option because they don't know there's another way to view addresses.

This is the main problem with options over good defaults. An option requires enough understanding of the domain to realise that there might be other choices. It also requires enough knowledge to make that choice, especially for something that affects security (knowing if you're on a malicious website) but looks like a simple visual change (simplified URLs).
Right now it's worse than you state. Any completely unprovem acupuncture, herbal, chiropractic, homeopathic, etc treatment can get sold with basically no restrictions. Only medicine requires science. It's the worst of all worlds right now.

You also have to really struggle to convince me that there is an ethical case of banning someone from doing what they want with their own body.

I mean, you would probably say someone it is good to donate to medical research. You would also probably say it is good to volunteer for a medical study. But it's somehow wrong to give money to get the treatment? Makes no sense to me.

> Maybe you're an exception, and it would be great if you are. But I've had deep and meaningful relationships with people, fully remotely and text-based, since I used IRC as a teenager. I think in 2021 it's fair to raise the bar and expect managers/leaders to learn basic online communication to the level that teenagers were doing like 10-20 years ago, rather than shackle everyone to the office and commutes because leaders can't learn how to use slack/zoom

With all due respect, I‘ve been chatting on IRC since the birth of Undernet, but some people I thought I had meaningful connections with I should have better not have met IRL. These days I prefer to make my connections in meatspace.

I introduced Slack to our company and am fully able to use Zoom, but there‘s a difference between four Zoom calls a week and four a day (yes, you do need to manage up and to the sides as well).

You might hate your manager, but so far companies don‘t work without leadership and coordination either.

I hope we can find something better going forward together.
Wow... This is surprising to me.

How can it know all these different additions? Has it been trained on so much data that it came across 292+25=317 and is able to summon it in a situation like this? Or did it learn to actually add decimal numbers (the way we do it).

Does it always work or what’s the success rate?

Did you try with 5-digit numbers and/or negative numbers?
Why shouldn’t it be viewed as a binary? They couldn’t find any evidence it was effective! You can’t get much more of a zero than that. Out of eleven, ten members of the advisory board were against approval and one was uncertain.

I didn’t assert anyone received info about a company. I’m only pointing out to the parent comments author that stocks were being dumped by congress prior to there being a pandemic. I don’t know what information was given in a secret report, if I did, it wouldn’t be a secret.
A bit of a naive question I admit, but how do you even test hundreds millions of lines of code to ensure they all fit perfectly when different ECUs have different suppliers, and by customizing the car you can have different types of chips? Just curious how integration of all the components is done.

Also, there seem to be a lot of recalls due to software issues, so I wonder if there's any open source or anything close to it that has tools such as CI or VCS for newer electric car companies that use ECUs from different OEMs?

You'd have the number of tests broadly but they are simpler because they don't need to handle the cases hidden in the functions themselves. Maybe in the end it's the same or a matter of taste but it recently occurred to me that unit testing becomes "cleaner" that way.

> Unpopular opinion: watching people struggle and fail or just plain refuse to engage with covid (wear a mask, socially distance, get a vaccine) has really shaken my faith in democracy.

As best as I can tell, the reason democratic processes have produced the best government in history isn't because the electorate is making well-reasoned assessment of various policy options.

It's because it provides a relatively quick feedback cycle, and because people can vote according to their interests and the wounds of previous policy will get treated. The way to keep it safe from abuse by far right extremists ("populists") is to have broad-based parties that reflect economic classes and which can provide direct connections between the different parts of the community and the political system.

Parties based on ideology are less capable of compromise so they're less responsive to genuine needs. A business-owners party and a workers party can agree to free trade or protectionism, mandatory public holidays or freedom of contract: the agreement can be believed to be a win for both sites that makes everyone stronger. But, say, a business-libertarian party can only concede it didn't have the power to force both free trade and freedom of contract, and can't call the law they got through an agreement. Ideology is also something that is interesting to fewer people, so they will have narrower bases, more subject to whim and fancy.

Democracy isn't perfect, but is there a better system? It seems like everything that is better than democracy done now is just democracy done better. Do you think it would be better to adopt a Saudi-style absolute monarchy or a PRC-style party state?
Start a new project with technologies you are familiar with. Try new technologies on projects you are familiar with. Don't start a new project with new technologies.
I was lucky enough to get actual death threats due to stuff I posted online (it involved Saudi Sheiks and was almost 20 years ago you won't find it, it doesn't matter).

They (not the Sheik some other random people from the internet) had looked up my address in the Upper East side from DNS records and sent me an email along the lines of 'I know where you live and I'm going to come over and kill you'.. I dunno something like that. I had a small kid at the time. Freaked me the f out.

Anyway, I did nothing. Nothing happened. I also got threatened by the fancy lawyer of a rich Sheik. Did nothing to take the content down. Again nothing.

Lesson I take from this is to not let threats get to you too much, that the internet's bark can be worse than it's bite. Except, of course, for the poor souls for whom this is not true. YMMV I guess.
As long as you are happy with what is possible within a 3D API designed for 2012 hardware (GL ES 3.0 subset).

Medical claims have a regulatory regime around them though, and alternative therapies are generally not allowed to make medical claims. This is not enforced as carefully as it should be in my opinion, but it definitely exists.
> Does anyone honestly care about a million dollar trade by some employee's husband?

It is not just random million dollars trade. Money are not created out of thin air, money are taken from someone. In this case, money was taken from Amazon shareholders. 0.000001 of each shareholder approximately.

Generally, insider trading hurts trust in financial system, and when it happens unpunished, each american citizen is hurt.

It almost feels like writers are just writing for their own benefit. Like so they can point to this stuff and talk about how great of a writer they are. But no, they're actively doing a bad job. Maybe these kinds of magazines are just trying to entertain and the actual information is basically secondary. It feels like a lot of these are science themed writing, not writing where science is the goal.
coolreader18's points are mostly about the culture of JavaScript vs. Rust (where Go also hews much closer to the Rust side). Setting aside lockfiles vs. MVS (which won't get "solved" in an HN debate), why do you prefer Cargo to go mod?
I could also live without hiding the protocol for non-secured websites. I mean leave the label there, I don't care, but whenever I want to copy the domain of a HTTP website, it also automatically prepends it with the protocol, which more often than not is not what I want.

> What stops from former workers at intelligence agencies from starting a hedge fund and employing all methods they learned while at work, to acquire such valuable information, trade based on that and offer others money management services?

That wouldn't be insider trading. Indeed hedge funds are known to use intelligence data like satellite photos etc.

If they use illegal monitoring devices, hacking for info etc, they may fall afoul of federal espionage, wiretapping or CFFA, but it would still not be insider trading.
I’d drop them for other options if they became a bad choice
Awesome shots. I have family in São Paulo but have never been. Circa mid-century some prior generations visited and had a blast, I have some photos of their visit. Recently a Brazilian told me that people from São Paulo were seen as sort of 'intelligentsia' / yuppies / champagne socialists or something by other Brazilians. It'd be great to visit if one spoke Portuguese.

High coverage isn't enough but, in my experience, it's a great place to start.

I've written an depressingly high quantity of code in my career that blows up literally the first time it runs. I'd much rather that happen in a unit test than in production.

Any test that exercises a given branch is better than nothing.
Because the list has 10 countries and 2000 USD a month is enough for a good life in over 150 countries.
Learning is fun though, don't forget to learn new stuff...
Having a manager who is also an engineer doesn't help that much. It's like seeing a movie about split personalities. They can be a good engineer and yet when they switch to management mode, they commit the exact same idiocy as any other crappy manager. There are good managers too, but an engineering background doesn't seem to automatically produce them. I don't know if it even helps.
It’s not dumb at all and perhaps some incredibly advanced civilisation would do exactly that. However space time is exceedingly stiff, the energies required to create measurable ripples are enormous. Targeted neutrino based communication would probably make more sense though.
This makes a lot of sense... maybe too much sense for the Intel we know.

Can Intel internally accept RISC-V as an equal to x86, or will they relegate it to competing with ARM at the low end?
> bandcamp is it's essentially Shopify for musicians

I don't think it is for musicians. It is a marketplace where you can buy and own music. You can pay as much as you want above a minimum price that is set by the musicians. Many albums are free or very cheap. Unlike other music providers the music is available in _lossless_ formats. You can also stream the music you own.

This is a heaven for people who do not like streaming providers. I purchase every single album through them.
I am wondering if there could be a way to outsmart the system. Perhaps trades are monitored automatically and once flagged for suspicious timing and returns, they are reviewed manually.

What if someone was trading in a smart way, e.g. purpusfully accepting losses on the same stock/derivate, trading during non-blackout periods, focusing on more than one stock excessively. This could reduce the risk for automatic detection. And finally, when you are reviewed manually, you should be able to present some fancy excel models that you pull out your ass to support your "buying decisions" when you made the insider trading moves.

The biggest thing would be, however, to keep your partner in crime at distance so there is not obvious evidence that you spoke about trading.

I wonder how hard it is to outsmart the system and I can imagine that there are many people out there who play it very well.
My first few months WFH was like this so I hear you. Since then however I've been more proactive about declining attending meetings or dropping off if I am required, which has made a massive difference.
Public health officials knew perfectly that masks give some protection against viruses in general, it was already known 100 years ago. They lied so that the masks don't get bought up instead of just coordinating the distributions using govenmental channels.

If you peel away the buzzwords, FLOC is basically just your browser tracking you, and telling advertisers which ads you are most likely to click on. Google claims to do this in a way that preserves your privacy, but ultimately these are empty promises. There is no way to spy on people without being creepy. Many (most?) people don't want to be tracked at all, "privately" or not.

It's such a pity that online advertising has turned in this direction. It started out so well intentioned! Search ads showed ads related to your search, Google adwords showed ads related to the content of the page you viewed. No invasive tracking necessary!

And now we have come to this. Tracking everyone everywhere has become so pervasive that an operating system vendor has just announced this week that they are building a first party VPN into the OS in a desparate attempt to reduce this ubiquitous tracking...
It’s a lot less creepy to track active engagement like opening a link though. And probably more obvious to people that it might happen.
And Google too. It makes me wonder who is their audience when they only use USA timezone while their customers are worldwide.
ah you have posted in the thread, telling us how the policy forbids creativity & interpreters (as apple does) but promising in some months you have some idea how maybe perhaps everything might not be as shit awful terrible awful as it sounds right now, how perhaps the general user might be given some break, not totally fucked over like it sounds like right now. in some months.

you also call our concern misinformation, but your words in that thread seem to come as a surprise to everyone, to the tampermonkey folks, to myself, & there seem to be no public indicators that there is more to this story than the clampdown this headline & post indicate.

I hope the future is indeed not so frakked as you say it might be. I am very very worried, and have seen few positive signs, hitherto your post, which is an unknown small hope against this grimness.
I've worked remotely for years on and off from the past two decades and I understand that you can't just work remotely. You have to socialize as well. Many companies think 'remote work' is about work, and that is far from true. Every aspect of 'work' needs to be done remotely. If you're not socialising and doing fun things remotely then people will grow increasingly isolated and eventually quit.
Conceptually, it's very good & well designed. But unfortunately the tunnel is not available on all PoPs yet, much more latency in my case. Still comparing with Tailscale.

When Linus starts out with "Please keep your insane" - the reader/original poster will enter a defensive mode.
