I believe OP is launching a Premium AI-matching Alibaba, but shameless plug: I'm building a US version of Alibaba at https://reshore.app. Should be launching soon - building out the base line-up of US-based suppliers and manufacturers until then.

If anyone would like a private beta invite please email at hello {at} sunboxlabs.com

I think this is worth building because there is new demand to shorten supply chains, but also for social and environmental reasons.
That does suck, but isn't this exactly why LGBT stories need to be shared instead of hidden? I have lived in more and less accepting places. In the less accepting places, I have experienced the unwanted praise and judgement. In the more accepting places I have been treated as a regular old person with a regular old life. And I think the world is moving more and more towards that place of boring acceptance, and that is just an awesome thing. I am forever grateful to the people who put in all that hard work so I can go about my life. And in gratitude I will keep talking about mine, and keep helping other people who aren't being heard to be heard as well.

> Can anyone point me towards better methods of measuring diversity?

It depends on what you want to achieve, but for companies, the goal is probably diversity of belief, opinion, culture, and experience. That way you can have a good spread of ideas and increase your odds of being able to understand your customers (who are probably also diverse).

So you could run anonymized surveys of your staff asking things like "have you ever changed a baby's diaper", "do you play any instruments", "do you speak the same language at home as your grandparents do", "if you could only have one carbohydrate would you choose rice, pasta, bread, or potatoes", etc, and then measure the entropy of the responses.
> I can't find source material indicating these were actually industry events.

The initial tweet cited in that article specifically mentions "Massive Black afterparty" a arts studio, and "workshops" and "conventions".

>If you are at a happy hour the Friday night on the first day of a conference, is that a work event?

If it's in your field and sponsored by your company or vendors? yes.
If its a a random event you are anonymously crashing? probably not.

>The point of my initial comment is that I don't think society benefits from extrajudicial groups and I do not consider firing someone, even if the mob was right, appropriate justice.

Ignore the mob spreading false rape allegations, it's a red herring. He apologized/admitted to being sexually inappropriate at work events, that is grounds to terminate for cause.

> If Noah is guilty of sexual harassment, that's a serious crime and he should be treated as a criminal. As a society we have mechanisms in place to handle these situations.

Sexual harassment is a civil violation not a criminal violation. Police do not investigate sexual harassment and people do not go to jail for sexual harassment... You are right we have mechanisms such as his employer terminating his employment or suing for damages.
I wish that description were more accurate, but thanks.

> First, the vast majority of people who insisted on the lab leak theory did it to deflect blame and target China as a scapegoat. And many trotted out terrible and conspiratorial reasonings for why the accidental lab leak theory was the "truth," many going to the point of it being an intentional leak and that it was designed in the lab by humans. Not to mention using these claims to suck up attention away from other things like actually handling the pandemic. And to pile on politically a China=bad narrative. So by association there's been a severe reluctance to add more ammo to this group's claims.

How does not investigating help with those theories? There is a lab in Wuhan, they were working with coronaviruses, the infections seems to have started there, so logically someone points a finger... and the answer is "we won't investigate, because people are pointing fingers!"?
More specifically, china is the location where somebody goofed.

Sometimes it's in the US, sometimes, it's somewhere else. The goofing is guaranteed, unless you pay somebody to goof on your behalf
This is a really classy reply. Nice job! We all muck things up but it takes a special person to admit to it. :)
> That's a pretty major downside to a vaccine

The Shingrix vaccine is recommended for everyone over 50. It's a two-dose regimen to prevent shingles. If you've ever known anyone who has shingles, you'll rush to get those shots as soon as your doctor recommends it.

Guess what? The side effects can be rough. I know from personal experience: the second dose knocked me down for at least 24 hours. I felt awful and pretty much did nothing but sleep. By the evening of the next day, I was fine.

I also got my Pfizer vaccine shots around the same time, and had nothing worse than a sore arm. Even if someone had told me there was a 100% chance I'd have the same side effects from the COVID-19 vax as I did from Shingrix, I still wouldn't have hesitated. A day or two of feeling terrible versus the known dangers of COVID-19 is an easy choice.

Don't overplay the "major downside" bit.

Which COVID-19 vaccine did you get, and what side effects did you have, if any?
Author here - this was just a quick PoC, I'm pleasently surprised that it seems to be handling all the HN traffic.

My son wants your job!
Exactly. In 2020, I didn't care if started with wild bats, bat soup, a lab leak, or Santa Claus. I cared about:

* Waiting a week after patient 1 to close the borders

* Intentional efforts to suppress testing

* "Covid won't happen here because we closed the borders" (a month into exponential covid case growth in the US)

* "...but if it does, it's barely worse than the flu"

* "...but even if it is, hydroxychloroquine is a miracle cure."

* "...but even if it isn't, we shouldn't lock down because it won't stop the spread"

* "...and even if we do, a silent first wave means we're all immune now that the first wave is slightly trending downwards and we should do a full reopen"

* Anti-mask

* Anti-vax

and more. Those fights had actual public health impact. "Whodunnit" had 0x the public health importance and 10x the flamewar potential, which is saying something, because we had plenty of flamewars as it was. Steering the conversation away from lab-leak steered the conversation towards things that mattered.

stifling of speech, and firing of professors on campus for having a position in the matter.

Allowing the discussion and research to take place, if anything, is what allowed LBG rights to come to fruition.

The article is pointing out that this isn’t allowed happen with trans concerns and so the inevitable backlash and a regressive outcome.
Occam's Razor. We know viruses jump species because it's happened before and we understand the mechanism. The lab leak theory requires a lot of unlikely things to happen. Don't spread misinformation.
Typing this response on a Gemini, from Planet Computers. Essentially, its a vanilla smartphone, with an updated version of the Psion Series 5 keyboard bolted on (designed by the same chap who did the original).

If you look online, you'll probably find a lot of cons, as I think many people who backed this on Indiegogo has unrealistic expectations for this device. For me, I can say that this has been the best "smartphone" I've ever had. There are numerous small things which could have been improved - but the biggest thing - the keyboard - is actually really good (and I speak as someone who prefers to use custom mechanical keyboards like the atreus with his laptop, so I am picky).

If you can make Android a comfy environment (termux, your programming languages of choice, neovim & syncthing), it becomes a usable mini laptop when necessary.

Does that actually solve the problem though? Just because one instance can be solved by stopping gain of research function doesn't mean all the people in old folks homes will be treated well enough that when a new virus comes along, they won't be guaranteed deathm

And yet somehow even the most ill-informed Americans hear all about things the CCP doesn't want anyone to hear about. Doesn't sound like very tight control.

> That might just be the best you can hope for with this genre of writing.

I’m a sample of one so file this away appropriately but that’s the primary way I evaluate technical books. If I agree with everything, it means I’m not learning anything. When I don’t agree, I’m either wrong which rules because I get better. Or I’m correct but had to think more deeply to make sure. Either one is a profound win (for me).

yep... plus issues with astrazeneca, where chances of clotting issues and death might be higher than covid deaths for specific groups (young women mostly). Killing two teenage girls to save a 100 grandmas is a hard math to do.

It's very difficult to pull individuals out of poverty, much less an entire demographic. Tribes have tried a lot, everything from covering all or part of college, regular per-capita payments, free healthcare, partially or fully subsidized housing, etc. and people waste it by trashing their free housing and blowing money on alcohol and drugs. I find it hard to believe there's a greater obstacle to growing wealth than growing up without any.
Call me eccentric, but intentionally killing a dog is as bad as killing a person.

It's more than that. Here there's a fake demo we can only consider an advertisement. If they wanted it to be a scientific paper it should be reproducible and counter checked. What is the point of making a paper full of screenshot ?

It's not just a knowledge for knowledge's sake issue here, it's that it's not even knowledge they're publishing. They're publishing nothing.

They would make a license that says the code can only be provided for peer review and counter validation, then that'd be knowledge. Then, the sake of it is another secondary problem.
As I understood it, they claim to be a privacy focused browser that distributes some sort of currency-like tokens to users, which the users can then distribute to websites they want to reward, or optionally pay out as cryptocurrency to recipients that may (or may not?) be identical with the users themselves.

That this optional payout requires identification seems to be A) a legal requirement, and B) an implementation detail of second-rank importance in the grand scheme of things.

Feels far-fetched to get one's knickers in a bunch over stuff like that not being at the forefront of their marketing.
If it happened anywhere in the world, then yes.... It happening in a city where there is a lab, working with those types of viruses, makes it a very "interesting coincidence".

This comment alone shows that HN suffers deeply from not having many women participants. If y'all had more female commenters, you'd know that you don't get to see a bunch of girls naked in a high school or college locker room. Everyone is so insecure about their bodies that they change in the toilet stalls or take their bra off under their shirt then shimmy the sports bra up under the shirt and hook it then change shirt, or put on a towel to keep it all out of view. Being a teenage girl really sucks in a lot of ways. Of course one would have gender dysphoria if it has a glimmer of a way out of the trap of having to be look perfect, act perfect, get perfect grades, be a perfect friend, be perfectly sexy but not a slut, be perfect but not stuck-up etc that teenage girls face every day. (I understand that teenage boys face another set of pressures that can also be crushing -- as a teenager though you always think that someone else has a more-perfect life or a greater set of freedoms, right?)

As for the headline "Teenager finds way to push parental buttons: this never-before-seen act is the fault of liberals" yes, can confirm that toddlers start practicing early.
I'm not sure ad hominem applies here. Based on the background facts from the article alone "unhinged lunatic" isn't an irrelevant insult on character which ignores the subject matter rather a relevant point of refutation that the guy was truly unhinged and that should legitimately play a strong role in considering his claims. Could you always add more background? Sure, but I think there is more than enough in the article to point to him being genuinely unhinged.
Anyone know why the Spotify Web Playback SDK isn't supported on mobile?

The docs [1] say "It’s the same technology we use to power our Web Player experience", which seems to work fine on my mobile browsers. However, mobile browsers are explicitly listed as unsupported.

The docs also clarify it's powered by Encrypted Media Extensions, which is supported natively back to iOS11 and Chrome 42 [2]. There's also an actively maintained polyfill [3].

Quadratic voting is gameable on the candidate side, if candidates have free entry in and out.
Did you read my post? I addressed all of this very directly.

To quote myself:

> When you talk about "this Goldilocks zone of womanhood," I think you've rediscovering one of the oldest philosophical discoveries: mental concepts and ideas (in this case "woman") do not apply perfectly to the world of appearences. But this does not mean we can jettison concepts and ideas altogether. In fact they seem necessary. So the fact that we cannot seem to come up with a perfect criterion for defining "biological woman" does not mean that we can dispense with that category.

So, regardless of whether we can specify criteria by which we can decide whether or not someone is a biological woman, the essential concept of "biological woman" seems to me (and to gender critical feminists) to be indispensible. To me, because it allows us to provide a good (though not perfect) answer to the question "where do babies come from?" and to gender critical feminists because they view the concept as central to their political/philosophical project.

In fact, we can use your method of argument to demolish any category or concept. Take death for instance. How do we define death? By what criteria can we say anything is dead? Take life. By what criteria can we say something is alive? In fact we can't answer these questions perfectly and this is well known. But I don't see any use in getting rid of concepts like life and death which seem central to how we all understand the world. Along the same lines, I don't think we can dispense with "biological woman".

And while all of this may seem "absurd" to you, terms like "AFAB" seems "absurd" to me.
I never said it made sense, it's just how it made me feel.
If they intentionally let out something that killed millions of people then it should be met with extremely hard sanctions or more to force change at the CCP.

If you let a country intentionally kills hundreds of thousands of people and enact no penalty they will only escalate.

Still - I'd say the chance it was intentional to be less than 1/1000. Chance it was by accident - and that they covered it up - to be fairly high.
Yup, precisely. In a nutshell, you're saying this goes both ways, and I think that's perfectly acceptable.

I will caveat that I believe people who are opposed to the gender pronoun salad should also have the right to share that publicly, and in the event a person who subscribes to that way of life stumbles upon those public comments would benefit most by live-and-let-live, and simply write off or ignore those individuals if they feel upset.

Unfortunately every single permutation within intersectionality, whether "normative" or not, are going to face mild disagreement or prejudice towards their own ideologies.

A humble response is one that lives beyond it, rather than consuming all of one's time fighting it in the name of justice, IMHO. Seeking perfect insulation from disagreement is unachievable in society without also severely marginalizing a few groups at any given moment.

That is, unless there is a clear sign that said prejudice is on track to grow rapidly in the direction of genocide or overt societal exclusion and/or the belief that reeducation is necessary. All of these are unacceptable.

Though we are witnessing this being done against normative groups en masse in companies and public institutions today, unfortunately. It appears that most are reaching a breaking point and pushing back, and those who do represent many different races, creeds, and backgrounds. It's encouraging to see.
Most implementations of hydroelectric power involve cutting off and severely degrading the habitat of aquatic life, both upstream and downstream. Societies depend on these resources so it's hard to justify calling hydro power sustainable in a general sense. To those negatively impacted by the dam, it rightly feels like a ruthless power grab by outsiders coming to steal water and energy without any thought for the livelihoods that are destroyed.

Of course hydro power can be done correctly, assuming the collaboration of all the stakeholders in the watershed and careful tradeoffs. How many dams were built with such an equitable process?

Given hydro power's well-documented negative impacts, and our arsenal of other truly renewable energy sources, damming new rivers should be a last resort. In the US at least there is a strong trend of dam removal - many ill-considered hydro projects are costly to maintain, an economic loss to society as a whole, and a detriment to the environment. Quite far from any feasible definition of "renewable resource".

> - there was already a case in the UK of a male-bodied convicted rapist being housed in a woman's prison because "she" decided post-conviction that "she" identified as female.

That is my point about gaolers being sadists. What do they do with aggressive women who get their thrills sexually predating on other women? They should not go into general population if the gaolers are not sadists....

In my country a young man (about twenty years) was housed in a cell with a known rapist who raped him every night for nine months.

That is my point: Prisoners need to be protected from each other, they are not, because by ad large gaolers are sadists and the general public does not know or really care much.
He was pissed.

In a way, server providers prefer it as (in theory) users' long term credentials don't end up stored locally in plain text. A revocable per application token is used instead, and they can trace that back to a specific application or developer registration.

That it trains users it's ok to enter passwords in bespoke web views using abnormal or no clear URL view is a big issue though in my opinion - I've never liked flows that encourage entering passwords into web browsers you didn't open yourself, let alone ones provided by third party software, which can capture anything happening within the app itself.
> This right here is your indicator that this comment is an entirely made up story about hypothetical friends, with the sole intention of ragging on “liberals.”

Nah, I’ve been inside some of the fandoms on the Internet before and I know exactly what the commenter’s talking about (and whenever a similar thing happens I do another facepalm.) /r/HobbyDrama has a fuckton of similar stories as this, you don’t need to adhere to a specific ideology to admit that these things happen. (And even the left has criticized idpol for a long time, don’t just assume the commenter is conservative because of this)

As to why people participate in these tribal fights in the Internet… well one of the problems I see in modern society is a severe lack of agency among the people. Fighting on the Internet for a cause (whether stupid or not) gives one a sense of agency that they are alive in this world and changing things. The problem is that most of the agency that the Internet provides is inconsequential for actually changing the real world and is detrimental to one’s mental health in the long term.
