If we take your question to its logical end for this technology, then what we have is rich companies using fewer developers. That's it. Everyone else is still playing in the dirt, trying to write their own code.
Prime video does not allow you to see the platform outside your country of residence. You can change your account origin if you migrated to another country. Although this will limit people using it while they travel, it will reduce a lot of people from doing this because they will need to have access to an account outside of their country of residence
Nope it’s not and that’s why 100 percent if this tool is doing what it is saying, I would consider it cheating. I have tons of hours in Valorant and if this becomes common I will not play the game. I play specifically because of the learning curve and skill curve. There’s already a big enoug problem with Smurf’s and ranked boosting
> It is completely infeasible to eradicate a highly infectious zoonotic respiratory virus w/ abundant animal reservoirs.

We know SARS-CoV-2 is abundant in humans, and we know it's related to viruses with abundant animal reservoirs, but do we know that SARS-CoV-2 has abundant animal reservoirs? I wasn't aware that it did, and I wouldn't expect it to have.

And… what kind of a defeatist attitude is that? They said it was completely infeasible to eradicate smallpox, but we did – because the people actually eradicating smallpox knew how to do it.

> You cannot possibly honestly make this statement in good faith,

Citation needed. You've selected an apparently arbitrary standard for evidence, concluded that nothing you're aware of meets it, and therefore that nobody can possibly make a certain claim… but I note you're certainly not as stringent in your requirements for claiming the opposite.
I think javascript comes up because cloudflare use some kind of javascript challenge as part of the DDOS protection. There are python libraries that know how to deal with it, or you can use some level of headless browser.

So.. people are actively looking for vpns and proxies to actually pay netflix to get content, and netflix actively fights then, so they cannot get the content they (want to) pay for.

And then people why piracy is becoming popular again.
I'm speaking in the present sense, you are speaking in a hypothetical sense.

YouTube doesn't have any legal responsibility to the public discourse.
Facebook might not be the best example of course, but I shudder when thinking about apps I truly need… WhatsApp in Europe is 90% of friend communication. Banking apps and other 2fa apps are required to do any banking.
Very impressed by https://docs.speculare.cloud/ martichou! Keep up the hard work, good luck!

Rust + timescaledb is a very compelling basis for monitoring. Do you intend to do primarily metrics, or other event-streams too? Tracing is another concern I'm keen on, and I've also made use of structured event based systems in the past too.

Also a shout out to https://github.com/speculare-cloud/speculare-pgcdc which is so neat: using postgres logical replication for change data capture, with websocket listeners. I would have loved to have had this for a good number of projects! I've had to use Triggers & LISTEN/NOTIFY a number of times in the past, & this sort of solution has long been what I wanted. I'd started writing something to emit into Kafka a long time ago but never really got started. This looks great.
Dr. Phil (McGraw) isn't a physician. He was a psychologist.
> without a mouse and keyboard

The track pad works surprisingly well as a mouse in this configuration. I used the Steam Controller as a wireless couch mouse, solid.

The Deck has that, plus touchscreen keyboard. Not the best, wouldn't do programming like that, but good enough for configure typing.
Don't defend the current situation by pretending that it's only hate speech and racism that are getting removed.
Yes - I believe seatbelts should also be a personal choice. Infinite safety was never a goal - and never should be. If it were, our speed limits should be 5 mph everywhere - then nobody would die in car crashes but oops, it causes too many other problems - it would be a bad tradeoff. And lost freedom is a cost that is unacceptable to many people.
"The internet"? It's just YouTube. He's a senator, he has one of the biggest and most un-cancelable platforms in the world.
Dr. Phil isn't a doctor. He has a Ph.D. He had a license to practice psychology in Texas that he voluntarily surrendered because of some complaint or something, I'm not going to read the details. Jill Biden isn't a doctor either. Neither is Julius "Dr. J" Erving. People can call themselves doctors without being doctors. Rand Paul is a doctor.
So if I wear a cloth mask and never wash it and constantly touch it with my hands, does it reduce my chance of infection?

And are you 100% confident that your answer will cover all nuance and isn't misinformation, which should mean you are banned from HN for 7 days?
Unfortunately it's your company that signs up to this sort of thing, not you.
But you can look at how much CO2 they’re putting out, and then work out how provide the same amount of power with lower CO2 emissions.

Volume of CO2 emissions is the critical factor here.
Does the timer thing actually make the player better at estimating time remaining?

I have never played this game, but I would assume the opposite: players would get a small advantage while using it, but it would prevent their timing skills from being developed.

This is like saying "Using GPS driving directions make you a better navigator" - it's true while you're using it, but if you always use it your navigation skills will atrophy.

Do you have statistics to back up the claimed value of your program? Would be interesting to implement a 'performance evaluation' mode that would measure baseline and periodically test users without hinting so you could have stats to back up claimed benefits.
> Respiratory emissions by the wearer is reduced in a range of 0 to 90% depending on the quality and fit.

Ah the old $1.00 and up sales tactic
Not surprising, but rather candid when we're talking about the "legal system" and basic human rights.
Your ignorance is disgusting. A Darwin award awaits you.

The way I see it, government works hand-in-hand with big banks to devalue national currencies in their favor.

What better solution do you propose to this?

Are you aware of proof-of-stake, which is not wasteful, avoiding the "security-by-outspending" model proof-of-work has?
This looks awesome!

One question though (and this is a question I've had for a while with all these ed-tech startups) - how do you ensure the quality of the courses outside of plain ratings? What's the guarantee that the course creator has explained things in a way that will help someone learn effectively?
The spike timer is beyond cheating lmao. All comp rounds go down to the timer timing

I'm trying to think of a single counter example. This is the best kind of insight. Simple and very easy to disprove, if not true.
"A n95 without a valve has properties of both, but tend to be quite expensive and reserve for medical personal only."

They are a couple of bucks and can be reused for some time. I think supply has caught up now, and they are no longer restricted. Many people have these doe things like wood working.
> This makes some IO heavy tasks (pip install, npm install) painfully slow.

Aside/HTH: The new Yarn has "Plug 'n Play"[1]. They claim that committing [their version of] node_modules is a reasonable thing to do, so that's one way to avoid install entirely. I don't trust that claim, yet (it smells like noisy diffs). You can instead re-enable the global cache[2], and then mirror your host cache directory into your container (whatever `yarn cache dir` gives you).

I have tried none of this myself because I'm not working on anything JS right now. pnpm[3] is what I've been using up til now, and is also a direct upgrade in terms of speed (but I suspect it won't work with mounting host directories).

By that logic any proprietary product that provides an interface with an open source tool is guilty. I think accusing MS of EEE in this case is a huge stretch; GitHub is a commercial product that uses a popular open source tool with 100% compatibility (that I'm aware of) and actively participates in the development and features of that tool. When Ms start implementing extensions to git that only work with GitHub, we can point fingers but accusing them of extending git to extinguish based on pull requests is baseless
That's certainly right. We don't provide any suggestion based on private data. For example, gamers cannot see the tags of an opponent if the opponent opted out to be private.
There has always been something extremely off putting about this term, "imposter syndrome" and I haven't been able to articulate it until now.

IMO it is a defense mechanism (as is having unchallenged confidence). Claiming you have imposter syndrome is a way people with a 'fixed mindset' to avoid confronting harsh realities.

Whenever they make a mistake or lack knowledge in something, their whole identity of being an expert, high performing individual or "winner" gets challenged and they experience a loss of their identity. Claiming imposter syndrome is an extremely self-indulgent way to keep their positive identity in tact by rationalizing that their bad feelings in light of failure are somehow false and that all competent people feel the same way. In some ways, someone with arrogant, unwarranted confidence is doing the exact same thing in a different way.

The original sin so to speak is tying success to one's identity instead of viewing it as the multivariate and stochastic process that it is. In order to achieve a goal or a result, you will necessarily have to be thrown into foreign situations where you know close to nothing and start off as a beginner. The outcome doesn't care about your self-righteous "imposter syndrome", you either get the thing done or get someone else to get the thing done. If this involves being humble and studying something, do it. If it involves putting your ego aside and deferring to people who demonstrably know more and learning from them, do it. This calculus has no space to cry about imposter syndrome.

The people who harp on and on about imposter syndrome are more likely to justify insecure behaviors that don't move you closer to the end result in my experience. To iterate, the end result doesn't care about your feelings or self-identity, develop a growth mindset and focus on achieving the outcome in the most effective way possible instead of worrying about who is an "imposter". If you fail at a job and are unable to deliver, there are many factors at play, most of which were already probably predetermined before you accepted the role. The best thing you can do if you find yourself in this situation is to fix it instead of behaving defensively.
> Man in the middle attack
> Http (not https) traffic sniffing

If you can see the password, you can also see the time-based OTP, and you can use those to gain access.

> Phishing attack
> Over the shoulder attack

If you can convince someone to provide you their password, it's highly likely you'll also be able to convince them to also provide you their time-based OTP.

> Brute force attack

A successful brute-force attack on the vault (unlikely) means you've lost both your password and your OTP secret. A sucessful brute-force attack against a remote account using a safe password (re: password managers) is very unlikely!

> 'Breech' of the site and realisation they host their passwords in clear text on an unsecured db online

The password and the OTP secret themselves have no value (given that you're using unique passwords for each account). If the attacker has breached the service back-end then it's gameover anyways, regardless of 2FA for user accounts.
But why is the pandemic not ending? It seems strange that with the rollout of vaccines it would last for another 50 years.
And that's on top of the price for every engineer's machine that is used to access the instance...

Sure, you might not need to buy machines that are as beefy (although I bet you'll still need a decent machine to run all your chrome/electron windows) but enterprise maintenance on these machines is still a significant cost.

I definitely don't think one can look at this from the 'saving money' angle.
what is MS?
To an extent. Maybe the system can still block location access, for example, but it can't force the app to gracefully degrade without it. A future version of WhatsApp could lock you out until you give it location, contacts, calendar, phone call log.

There are lots of soft-rules that Apple enforces around permissions that are still really beneficial. For example: the new "you have to be up-front about all usage of user data" would be nearly impossible to enforce at a technical level.

If all the apps that don't want to comply can just leave, you may find yourself relying on Apple services even more than you do now, because nobody else will respect their rules.
Many people won't bother. If the VPN trick doesn't work they'll just torrent the content.
Are there further details available about the MAC?

Growing up in Boulder, THE atomic clock (NIST) was touted as a modern marvel (circa early 90’s childhood), it’s incredible to think that similar performance is now available on a pci-e card! Any relation to DARPA’s “making progress” announcement in August 2018 [1]?

This comment is so well written
So to be clear, the proof the GitHub is extending is a hypothetical example of an incomplete api that is not based on an open standard?
Well recreational drug abuse is bad, and video game addiction is bad, and ignoring your problems forever is bad. Ultimately it's a matter of degree and costs associated with the escape.

I would never make a blanket statement like VR or the metaverse is bad (especially cause it doesn't seem to exist in a fully realized form yet) but the vision doesn't particularly inspire me, and Hanke is trying to appeal to that POV by mentioning dystopian scifi representations of it, where it represented an escape from a disturbing reality.
Democrats are using “DEMOCRACY”.
Science is a process, not a democracy. Overall consensus is irrelevant.

I know perfectly good scientists who believe cloth masks are useless. They're in the minority, and I disagree with them, but I can't classify reasonable opinions I disagree with a "misinformation."

I went against the scientific establishment early in the pandemic advocating for masks, when consensus was that they were useless. The evidence and confidence hasn't changed very much since then; the party line has. I'm glad for that change, but it'd be hypocritical of me to complain that I was censored then, and support censorship now.

I'm also glad for freedom-of-speech, and sad when it's taken away. I think it's okay to restrict freedom-of-speech when people lie -- and there's good precedent for that -- but not for differences of opinion, even (and especially) ones I disagree with.
> if they are forced to allow alternative app stores and sideloading.

You can not use alternatives.

It's like pregnancy, if you wear protection, you can have safe sex. If you're scared protection isn't enough, you can not have sex and you won't get pregnant.

Ok wait that's a weird example that isn't supposed to be preachy but the point is you can always not use non-apple app stores and apple can still protect you.
I wear an N95 with valve, very comfortable, plenty of protection I think for user. And works in a self interested context. In cases where masks required I put a surgical over it - also still very wearable.

Part of the mask rejection has been comfort. Other countries did better jobs here KN94 etc with three flaps.

I'm not sure medical does nothing for wearer. I've warn a very tight fitting medical mask - I think it would certainly make some particle transmission more difficult.
Thanks for your feedback. We do not try to minimize the time that you need to practice to play better, in a sense we help you to be more 'aware' of your current skill level (strengths and weaknesses) and what is going on at the game (meta changes etc.) to accelerate the learning curve.

Btw, thanks for your support, we appreciated it!
Just because a state is red or blue, does not mean that everyone in that state is a democrat or republican. It's not binary.

And, in particular, with infectious disease a few bad apples spoil the bunch.

Can you tell us why the current delta deaths are pretty much entirely the unvaccinated? Care to take a stab at what the #1 predictor of vaccine status is? [1]

Also, maybe a shocker to you, but densely populated states (such as NJ, NY, and MA) tend to do poorly when a communicable disease hits. It spreads fast and the hospitals are overwhelmed.

I see plenty games on the Epic Game store that are the same consumer price as on Steam; only the developer pockets the difference.
that's your definition, for me it is allowing anyone to speak their views without putting a "extreme left" sensor and calling it fake.
I wholly agree with this, I choose Macs and use basically exclusively "good" Mac apps since I want everything I use to just feel right. On the occasion I use Windows or Linux, I want the UX to feel akin to what other applications on those platforms use.

Kinda a random thought, but is it at all possible to build a native 1Password app using their API [1]? I haven't read Agile Bits' ToS, but I would be interested in working on / following a Mac-centric client.

More than half these comments are meaningless because they misunderstand what Wet Bulb temperature is.

I too didn’t understand what Wet Bulb temperatures meant until I used this calculator: https://www.omnicalculator.com/physics/wet-bulb

95F TB (Temperature Wet Bulb) is when the humidity is 100% and it is 95F out. The lower the humidity, the lower the TB value. At 40% humidity and 120F temperature, you get 96F TB. Imagine 120F at 40% humidity. Insane, right?

That’s what kind of temperatures this paper is talking about: dangerously hot and humid.
> One response reads: “More or less everyone (individuals, companies, etc) operates under the assumption that licenses on the use of data do not apply to models trained on that data, because it would be extremely inconvenient if they did.

> It’s not that easy to prove that a production model has been pretrained on ImageNet

I'm reminded of the GitHub Copilot debacle discussed at length here on HN - though what I'm particularly interested in is any research or open source tools that can definitively prove if a given piece of data was used to train a given model.

Anyone have references or links to share on that point?

If it's exceedingly difficult to prove such a connection - can non-commercial dataset licenses ever be practically enforced?
What are the chances any one person would just be at all the right times in the right places, how many people on average?

To secure a conviction based on just that, you'd want to answer "around 0.01 people" to that second question as well as prove that all of these fires were in fact arson. It would mean you get the wrong guy only every one hundred (set of) fires on average.
Influenza rates reduced in New Zealand which never had wide scale community infection of covid19.
Are surgical/N95 masks used correctly, though? Most people do not seem to be aware that 1. they last a few hours, 2. you shouldn't remove/touch/wear them again and 3. they are not re-usable.

Masks are great if used correctly, otherwise they are massive vector of the virus and everyone is taking it with them.
I think (I hope) it’s a side effect of the legal system pushing them to do this.

These platforms are now basically the Internet. If they don’t police misinformation, maybe they’re worried the government will come after them ?

Maybe people who care about hosting alternative views should host their own websites? Like how the Internet was designed ?
> But of course Covid is killing people, so we should abandon centuries of liberal democratic tradition and hard fought freedoms to continue the great work we've done stopping it.

I'm entirely confused by this sentiment. What's been abandoned? Serious question, I have no clue what people mean when they post stuff like this.
Agreed. It's arrogant ignorance.

The scariest part to me is that there's not even a hint of curiosity in their minds about what they're putting in their bodies and the changes in society happening. If there was they would be a little more open to questioning the narrative because if they even did a little digging they would see things arent black and white as presented.

Bill Maher is liberal and HES questioning this stuff.

This kind of authoritarian mentality has always led to negatives places for humankind.

Less than 50% of people have taken the full vaccine in America.

If it was a vote it would have lost.

There's a lot of people who agree with us.
yes!

Also another alternative is Theta datasketches.
> the developer will pocket more money on the FB store, while the apps wont function without all kinds of permissions requires to accept.

which will give it a bad reputation as a store and that will drive people away.
The only things that hear dog whistles are dogs.
That made me laugh. Thank you for being a good sport. :-)
listening to a song that has INJECT at the right moment put in for your perfect injects isnt cheating as long as you dont play it during tournaments, its just a metronome to practice to.

Its not a service I would ever want to use because I actually enjoy games and I find coaching it to be too much to care about, but I think "audio clues to practice" doesn't meet the bar of cheating lol.
> One approach would be to monitor what management considers productive / successful employees and also on employees who have gone on PIP's - then train the AI on that data set.

I look forward to the papers on how to slack off on your job while the AI classifies you as "a straight shooter with upper management written all over him". Possible title: "An adversarial approach to the TwoBobs Productivity Classifier"

Same. Left 1Password for Bitwarden and have zero regrets.
Of course surgical masks reduce spread of covid. When they are required, everyone's chance of contracting it is lowered.

It is a just a quid pro quo. I reduce your risk of catching it from me, and you do the same for me. Everyone benefits from the arrangement.
https://medical.mit.edu/covid-19-updates/2020/08/neck-gaiter...

The study was not about testing masks, it was about developing a new cheap method of testing masks. They only tested each mask once, because the question was whether they could get data from the technique, not to actually study each mask type.
Our company is the opposite, I have a max-specced laptop and we are actively trying to reduce the massive cost of cloud computing.

A powerful laptop is a drop in the ocean compared to how much cloud VMs cost per developer.
