(Sidenote, I'm adding Microsoft. I assume your solution isn't "everyone should move to Azure")

I assume that most of us work in tech which, if it doesn't require actually working on software that is hosted by one of those five (or for them directly), requires looking at projects that are controlled by them. Do you use React or Angular? Maybe backend work in Go or C#? Ever use LinkedIn to network (or FB/IG), or use WhatsApp/MSTeams/Skype/GoogleChat to coordinate telework?

And 3/5 of those control all the major consumer OSes. Sure, maybe you run Linux as your primary device, but you probably have to develop stuff compatible with Windows, iOS or Android. So you need those to at least test.

Here's one article, probably not the best, of people trying to blackhole the major cloud providers and how that destroyed the internet experience.

It makes me feel strange to think that all these industries, all these jobs, and all these companies didn't exist just 30 years ago. Nowadays everyone says the web. It seems very hard to predict what technology will be dominant in another 30 years. It is fortunate that I will probably still live by then to witness the future.

Anyway, congratulations to the web.
It is one datapoint among many, but I found it interesting because it is based on careful biological experimentation and directly compares immune response from vaccination and prior infection. Another relevant quote: "Importantly, the vaccine-elicited antibodies targeted a broader range of places on the RBD than those elicited by natural infection." This is not an intuitively obvious result.

But, since it was asked, here are more studies that support the broader point:

* https://www.contagionlive.com/view/immune-response-from-mrna... describes a study directly addressing the question, and with impressive results.

* https://medicine.wustl.edu/news/covid-19-vaccine-generates-i... didn't directly compare against prior infection, but this is discussed briefly and there is strong support in favor of protection from vaccines.

* https://www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/marty-makary/92434 is a discussion with a virologist (not peer reviewed science).
The key here is hindsight.

I worry less about my kids (because I take precautions, similar to you), but I worry about kids whose parents are not as sophisticated.

And this is why I don’t think it’s as black & white. An absolutist, deontological view of the right to privacy is something I absolutely empathize with (although the fourth amendment does not enshrine this anywhere for companies; the bill of rights applies to government action.). I’m just saying there is a utilitarian argument as well for doing something like this.

And the dialogue between technologists who understand what technology can/can’t do vs those who advocate for exploited children —- is what is needed.
Thank you for your interest. It is the goal all along - to be faster, more efficient and reliable. We do have plans to build algo trading. And if users could write their own python scripts, that will be amazing - noted down as a feature request.

EDIT: I understand your disappointment with Electron. We do have different plans for v3.
Good point, but I think the opposite is true: scientific research is already broken, and blowing up the publishers would force us to rebuild it proper.

I co-authored a peer reviewed paper. Because our English is bad and our context is different, we called a system operating at 100Hz a "high frequency sensor" instead of a "fast sample rate (context) sensor". They gave that paper to an HF (radio) engineer to review it. He said "I think I was given this paper by mistake, this is not HF. Anyway, nice paper, change the color of this graph please."

Pair that with the general replication problem (no one has the money, time or incentive to replicate anything), that publish or perish mentality, the idiotic bias against publishing negative results - jeez, the situation is baaad.
i wonder if that's what normally happens in nature across many viruses. like a primed immune system exposed to a new variant runs a minor "software update" now and then.

How do you define 'leftist'? Orwell also wrote Animal Farm, which is critical of communism.

The basic concepts of Value Investing
I used to live in a 19th century building that was simultaneously LEED certified and a registered historic landmark. These two statuses were very much in conflict with each other, because the latter status often prohibits necessary changes to the building in pursuit of the former.

In the case of the building where I lived, they were required to retain the original windows for historicity: rickety, drafty, single-pane affairs that leaked prodigious quantities of heat. These windows were very large and the ceilings high, so in winter you essentially needed to run the heater non-stop. To offset that, they unnecessarily and often quite uselessly over-engineered other parts of the building construction for green-ness, which I presume helped with whatever scoring system made the building "green". None of which changed the fact that the building fundamentally leaked energy like a sieve.

It was always a mystery to me how they managed to LEED certify one of the most poorly insulated buildings in which I've ever lived. Nothing else you do to a building should be able to offset that fact.
I can relate to this. Drank heavily through my twenties. But I went sober for two years during which time I identified privately as an alcoholic and addict. I did the emotional healing. I started to meditate daily and exercise and talk about my problems. I had to slowly learn who I was as I had drunkenly buried away and neglected so many aspects of myself. After those two years of cultivating a healthier life and mind I started to drink again. I can do so in moderation and with an awareness of why I’m doing it. The takeaway for me was that I wasn’t an addict or alcoholic, although they served as helpful labels while I grew and healed. I just hadn't taken the time with myself to figure out why I was unhappy and I was subsequently stuck in a feedback pattern of bad, unhealthy behaviour.

Edit: Just wanted to add that I understand this isn’t everyone’s experience and sometimes moderation isn’t a possibility. Just sharing my experience.
Right, but it is harder for an organism to make multiple adaptations at once. Natural infection produces antibodies that target the spike protein as well as other sites. To evade immunity, the virus would need to change both sites.

It is very clear that the vaccine is putting selective pressure on spike protein evolution. Having alternative targets makes it harder to escape.

We currently don’t know if those other sites are beneficial or not. Sometimes they can even be counter productive (ADE, but we don’t really see that yet?)
From the documentation:

> Hora, 「ほら」 in Japanese, sound like [hōlə], means Wow, You see! or Look at that! he name is inspired by a famous lyrics 「ほら あなたにとって大事な人ほど すぐそばにいるの」 of a famous Japanese song 小さな恋のうた, it means You See, the most important people to you is always stay near you
This, and the futures of Daemon and Freedom(TM) absolutely terrify me. It makes the banging sound in my brain of creating additional income streams, improving retirement, and security, louder and louder.

I think it's worth noting that a developer like that comes from a combination of poor management, poor leadership and an inexperienced team. I would say it's almost rarely their fault (emphasis on almost) and we could do better to educate better principles on software design and structure.

Although maybe we're already trying our best, who knows.
> I used 1password for about ten years. Every interaction I had with the developers was pretty hostile. Even if they encouraged self-hosting and version-based upgrading instead of a SaaS, I'd still stick with a competitor. At this point I'm irrationally bothered by the fact that it's a 100+ staff company just to make a product that's no better than it was when they had 10 staff and is now more expensive.

I have no idea why you're being downvoted for expressing your experience and opinions. So I will just add another data point to corroborate your experience and (probably) be downvoted together.

I've also been a long time user who paid for every upgrade, and every issue I had with them I received a hostile response or a completely dismissive one. Not sure which is worse.

This made me jump ship last year and now I'm a happy bitwarden user.

No, it's not perfect as you can see in others comments around here but at least I don't have the constant nag that their values are misaligned with mine: forcing a subscription model down my throat at almost 4x the amount of money that bitwarden asks with fading support for standalone licenses and local vaults.
About the Pegasus Project
This is a really interesting concept
> Honor killing is a real occurrence but not over gotra-incest.

Only some Hindus (often castiest / religious fundamentalists) believe that a sexual relationship within the same gotra is incest. And it is that mindset that leads to honour killing in the name of gotra. And they do happen. But you are right that they often aren't the major catalyst for honour killing, even if many demand a ban on same-gotra marriage:

Will such so-called “honour killings” stop if the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 is amended to prohibit marriages within the same gotra? Unlikely. That may be the most publicised of the demands and threats issued by the Khap Mahapanchayat — a congregation of caste Panchayats from Jat strongholds in Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan — in Kurukshetra on April 13, and subsequently elsewhere. But it was not the only one. They have also reportedly called for a ban on marriages within the same village and contiguous villages, as well as de-recognition of temple weddings uniting runaway couples.

(And it is because of such political demands by castiests / religious fundamentalist Hindus that the popular perception that gotra is responsible for honour killing has spread - not because of some "secular conspiracy" against Hindus.)

This has even been challenged in court and marriage within the same gotra has been ruled legal in India even before independence:

Same-gotra marriages were declared legally valid by the Bombay High Court as far back as in 1945 in the Madhavrao vs. Raghavendrarao case involving a Deshastha Brahmin couple. Two reputed judges — Harilal Kania (who became the first Chief Justice of independent India) and P.B. Gajendragadkar (who went on to become the Chief Justice of India in the 1960s) — examined several court verdicts, consulted the writings of leading experts and quoted from Hindu scriptures in their ruling on whether a 'sagotra' (same-gotra) marriage was valid under Hindu law/custom. They concluded that it was.

1984 and The Giver (both featuring dystopian societies with strict rules on language usage) has left me with a distinct distaste for the constant skirmishing over terminology currently active in our current “culture war”.

It frustrates me to no end that English teachers, while assigning both books with high frequency, completely miss the language control part of both novels and focus instead on the other things. It frustrated me as a student, it frustrates me as an adult, and more importantly it frustrates me as a friend/peer to many schoolteachers of English.
Vaults, self-hosting, all these needless complications imo for what should be simple. Just give me a secure deterministic password from a website address + master pass combo.

That's exactly what my project, https://app.srspass.com aims to do.

Even though I have a super redundant NAS setup, I'd really hate to depend on a vault and have it all disappear due to some disaster. With SrsPass, I just remember one password, have a recovery/backup phrase written somewhere that it gives me which adds 128-bit of entropy to each generated password and boom, that's my password manager. Stateless, deterministic, and by using argon2id, PHC winner, on the client side it is doing what most password backends should be, but often aren't doing, which is strong memory-hard password hashing.
And why do you think that authentication + encryption is going to be more secure than encryption alone? Either way, there's a secret. If you know the secret you can access the data and if you don't you can't. The UI/UX trappings of the mechanism don't change this fundamental dynamic.

What does change the dynamic is if you allow a third party to control the code that you run.

The issue is that Trump said it without providing any evidence at all. Of course there was going to be pushback when the only evidence he provides is his usual “Some people are saying…”.
I tried org-roam too and it just feels like a bad joke compared to VSCode's foam. Foam has a real time graph of your notes. In org-roam, you need to call a method to get a static graph open in your browser. In theory, you can click the nodes in the org-roam graph to go to your notes... but it doesn't work out of the box for me. Whereas in Foam I can just ctrl+click on a node and bam, i'm in the file I want to be.

I also really like that Foam lets me edit files in markdown in the left window while seeing the rendered version in the right window. The trade-off is this seems to waste screen real estate like there's no tomorrow, but with a 4k screen, I think it's worth the trade-off.
Warrants do have to name why, and where. However, anything they find along the way is fair game. If they open your trunk to find drugs and see a dead body, then the dead body is still admissible. (Assuming that the opening the trunk for drugs is okay.)
This is exactly opposite of what science says. New plastic actually leaches more compounds into water. As plastic gets old, its leaching capacity goes down. Old plastic is safer than newer plastic. However, most plastic bottles, including BPA-free are estrogenic. They are bad for men and women causing a variety of problems which are still poorly understood.

The worse use-case is plastic filled bottles that have sat or have been transported in hot environments which is to say all of them. Ditto for hot takeout food served in plastic containers - soups, curries, etc.

Do your research and don't fall to hoaxes that benefit vested industries that will profit from you not reusing water bottles.

If encryption is a weapon, give me the 2nd Ammendment.
I don't know if 100 years is "very far". It's not implausible that someone develops a practical fusion plant this decade, and at that point we're well on our way. We don't even need to turn the planet into Coruscant - by the maths I just spelled out, we're only a factor of 10 away from noticeable warming! A bit more population growth, a few lifestyle upgrades for the global south, and we're there.

If this leads to even a 1% increase in profits, expect all companies to follow.

After all, the buy-and-hold index fund investors on HN will fight day-and-night for a 1% increased return for their personal portfolios.
That's hard to want to believe. The problem is if you assume they're not trying to help, then either they need help (too), or there's not much we can do about it.

I feel like a whole lot of people are trying to help, they're just really bad at it and they need help themselves.

How would you define "leftist" in a way that doesn't contain Orwell?

Animal Farm fits very well into

> opposed totalitarian societies
This is a pretty bad take. No vaccine has 100% coverage. Most of the time we're talking about 85-90% protection rate, with some low possibility of mild infectious contagion.

The particularly ignorant take on your part is ignoring 1918 to 1919 change in that flu. It 'naturally' became far more deadly with no vaccine needed.
Perhaps because it is easy to start with. We do realize the shortcomings. In our v3, we are rethinking this.
If only we had a record of him stating what he's advocating for...

Let's see, perhaps an essay titled Why I Write[0] could give us some hints:

> Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism, as I understand it.

That encompasses both Animal Farm (1945) and 1984 (1949).

From the features page:
"As of August 2012, this feature has not been implemented yet."
Orwell was definitely left/labour leaning in his later years and supported democratic socialism.

As a younger man he was very much a Marxist revolutionary, but getting shot through the jaws in Spain and then subsequently witnessing the totalitarianism of Stalin quickly changed his mind. Animal Farm is a criticism of Stalinism in particular.
I mean he properly leans into it in later comments too, so I don’t think it’s meant to be underhanded, just plainly aggressive
The problem is that careful (conference) reviews don’t scale. Large conferences end up suffering from a highly stochastic behavior where excellent work is borderline rejected on a regular basis while mediocre/incorrect work gets accepted every so often. github/arxiv are no silver bullet but offer an interesting alternative (with their own set of challenges, though).
The only attention they deserve is to be put on a DO NOT HIRE, DO NOT TREAT, DO NOT SOCIALIZE list for the rest of their pathetic lives!!
It wouldn't just make it "more clear" - it would also make the name correct.
The company I work for has simply given the possibility to amend the employment contract and let people switch to full remote.

Many colleagues didn't quit because of this.
Orwell disliked Communism with a capital C, probably influenced by his participation in the Spanish civil war fighting alongside the Soviet Russians, but his allegiance was clearly to very leftist socialist causes, leaning towards the anarchist side of leftism.

He was also a pretty intelligent guy, and didn't blindly subscribe to partisan politics. More than anything, he disliked authoritarianism.

> The test is easy, but has a relatively high false positive rate.

The FDA approved Roche serology test has a specificity greater than 99.8% and sensitivity of 100% (14 Days post-PCR confirmation) https://www.roche.com/media/releases/med-cor-2020-05-03.htm

I wouldn't say 0.02% is a particularly high FP rate.
Observational evidence of course, meaning plenty of confounders.
It'd be ideal if browsers offered standard hooks into their password-filling mechanisms. Let the password managers volunteer "I know a password for this site!" and fill it through the browser's standard UI.

Basically, I want the browsers to implement something close to what Apple has for password management on iOS. Ideally go a bit further and expose hooks for creating/saving a new login, too.

Unless they already do this, and nobody has actually taken them up on using it?
TLDR; if your website is smaller it will load faster...
I understand that 1Password is a business and it’s their prerogative to make money.

In 2014 I switched to self-hosted password management with 1P and it changed my life. Today, my 1P vaults are a daily, indispensable part of computing. There are thousands of records and my overall security is dramatically higher.

Fast forward a few years and I heard that they had introduced a subscription.

Why?

It’s not their fault: everyone does it. But is this really a subscription service? The applications on my computer and phone have worked smashingly well for years. Is there enough of an ongoing need for development as to require a subscription? I’d rather pay a periodic upgrade fee as maintenance is required.

At the same time, independent and decentralized password management makes sense. I don’t want AmaGooSoft
holding my passwords to everything.

In any event, I will continue to use older versions of password management to save on the subscription.
I think the real surprise is that 41% of them had the correct answer to this question.

The previous Kondratiev cycles were:

- Steam engine (1825)

- Electrical engineering and chemistry (1913)

- Automobile (1950)

- Computers… and even that could be split between the database era (1980), the web era (2000), and the AI era (2030?).

For each cycle, it starts like wild competition, and ends with installed actors. Who would think of being the small guy who topples Ford by reinventing automobile today? No-one.

There is no going back: Automobile has no “meaning”, just usages. All of this just makes society go faster. The only meaning in life is participating to the economy, family, and raising people from poverty.
This isn’t a randomized control trial, meaning you have tons of confounders.
It's a known best practice. Best practices work well whether or not our ideas about why they work are accurate.

I'm speculating that we don't fully understand why it works and it may be effective for reasons beyond habits/triggers.
Some impressing work is indeed being done here on the PinePhone modem: https://github.com/Biktorgj/pinephone_modem_sdk/ (firmware replacement, with a re implementation of many blobs and a mainline linux kernel - I tried and everything seems to work, however the sound is a bit low by default (this can be configured) and the modem is slow to boot)
With 1Password, the subscription is really expensive, and I’m afraid that the bloat the company is stuffing into the product is weakening the security. Frankly, they make too much money.

I’ve found enough bugs in the Mac product that I assume there are security issues I’m not aware of.
Some people don't have English as their native language. When such people want to write a scientific article in English they will have to use someone who can write English but probably does not know much about the research. So of course there will be articles with "Tortured Phrases".
