It's something we're going to see time and time again with companies that dominate a non-IT based industry trying to pivot and incorporate IT into their company.

I'm not sure how we're going to address these issues. I don't think fines will work. I'm not sure if having laws to maintain security standards will work.

It's a multi-faceted issue and I'd love to see what people in any industry can suggest.

Kubernetes and Erlang are really solving different problems. Kubernetes makes sure my OS process is running - Erlang lets me compose my application from a set of actors in a single OS process that are fault tolerant and supervised. Somewhat similar problems but at totally different levels of abstraction. Erlang out-of-the-box isn't especially great at building distributed applications and benefits from leader services, message queues, RPC mesh frameworks etc nearly as much as any other application; its just that you can solve pretty small-scale simple problems without reaching for those in some cases. Jose Valim (creator of Elixir) wrote about this in a great blog article a few years ago: http://blog.plataformatec.com.br/2019/10/kubernetes-and-the-...
I was playing last week with this framework.

One of the best things that Egui does is updating the layout using a reactive rendering strategy by default. So rather than doing a paint per frame (each 15ms), it does it lazily only when the state changes.

For example: if you have a plot that updates each 10ms... a UI paint will be triggered each 16ms (up to 60fps I believe). If not, the UI will be updated lazily (when you move the mouse or other event happens).

Note: you can choose a "continuous" rendering mode for the backend as well.

It also has great accessibility with a built-in screen reader.
It's an impressive piece of work.
Even stranger is the abandoned Motorola complex built way out among the farmlands in Harvard, Illinois.

Motorola has fallen far! When I started a job at a big company in a Chicago suburb, they actually asked for a show of hands "who's from Motorola" and like 17/20 people raised their hands!
Sorry but I wasn’t trying to say that she’s getting special treatment. That’s not what I said or what I meant. And I’m sorry that my comment was perceived as misogynistic, the spirit was quite the opposite.
Retail bots and sneaker bots. Botters buy proxy IPs in bulk. When botters buy limited edition Nikes using bots, each “task” uses a different proxy, so they can increase their chances by appearing to Nike to be different customers. 500 tasks on a single shoe with 500 proxies and virtual credit cards looks like 500 different people when it’s really just one.

There are two different kinds of proxies (basically — there are more nuances I don’t want to get into): Datacenter (DC) and Residential (Resis). DC proxy servers are blazing fast but easy for a retailer to determine the traffic is coming from a datacenter like AWS so there is a high risk of getting the IP banned. Resis are slower but they are residential IPs so slower but less likely to get banned because they look like traffic from average consumers.

If the average buyer of proxies is buying 100+ IPs per month and IPs get banned constantly, proxy providers need a massive pool of millions of IPs running on residential addresses. That’s where these “free” VPN come into play. The consumer gets no-cost VPN, but their PC becomes an exit node for these residential IP proxy providers who charge people for the proxy access. There are tons of proxy providers but I think most are just reseller accounts of a few massive firms that run the show.

I am only speaking on the topic from a purely technical perspective. I do not want to discuss or spark debate around the ethics or people’s displeasure with the existence of botting and/or scalpers — you asked for a use case, and I’m only answering the question with a multi-billion dollar use case.
It’s their job to destroy things, why wouldn’t they be proud?

I’m proud too when I refactor bad code.
Start with The Odin Project: https://www.theodinproject.com/

It defers to FreeCodeCamp where beneficial but overall puts a greater focus on setting up an actual developer environment instead of doing everything in a sandbox. It's a bit more challenging for that reason, but overall better for your progression.

The Odin Project does go through React, but I'd actually recommend switching to FullStackOpen once you hit that point in the curriculum: https://fullstackopen.com/en/

Apple Regrets Confusion over 'iPhone Scanning'
I’m so sad for the glaciers in Washington state :’(
It's really not so simple as looking at GDP vs total fertility rate [TFR]. Education of women appears to be more important.

Here's one relevant study, looking at different factors, "Human fertility in relation to education, economy, religion, contraception, and family planning programs" - https://bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s...

> In two studies based on countries as units, TFR was more strongly related to education than to GDP per capita [19, 26]. TFR had little relation to the level and change of GDP per capita 1960–2010, but GDP changes tended to be increasingly positive for countries at lower TFR level [27]. Lower TFR may therefore favor economic development, rather than the other way around [28, 29]. ...

> The broad analysis of six global regions shows associations of TFR with each of the five factors explored

> TFR is strongly associated with education, contraceptive use, and religiosity (r2 = 0.89, 0.66 and 0.66, respectively).

Figure 1 shows the r2 = 0.44 correlation to GDP -- GDP is far less important that increasing women's education (outside of Western Europe), improving access to contraception, and decreasing religiosity!

This paper points out "the factors to which TFR is related are themselves related in interesting ways, especially female education, which is positively correlated with GDP per capita and negatively correlated with religiosity" and tries to account for that.

This essay suggests that Hickel's claim "Past a certain point, the relationship between GDP and social outcomes breaks down or becomes irrelevant" is wrong.

That paper I link to shows "Within [Western Europe], TFR and education were positively associated, in contrast to all other regions. ... TFR had little or no association with contraceptive prevalence (CPR) or GDP per capita."

So the data I found agrees with Hickel, and highlights how this linked-to essay doesn't consider confounding factors.
Show HN: WeMoov- Calorie Counting via Webcam, Turn Any Video into a Home Workout
Hey Hacker News, after a long time of being stuck indoors over the last year and a half, and looking for new home workout solutions, I came up with the idea of calorie counting as you move and dance to your favorite home workout videos. Check out my project, WeMoov:

https://wemoov.fitness

(Please try on desktop, not mobile)

The idea here is that we use the webcam input to do skeletal tracking in real-time, combined with a physical model for counting calories burned based off body part movements. To do this, the system just needs a simple approximation of your height and weight :)

All you have to do is step back from your computer/webcam so your whole body is in frame, and then move!

WeMoov tracks user's movement and calories burned side-by-side the companion video which they follow for their workout. Any video can be loaded in our Pro version, and you submit a direct YouTube link or upload a .mp4 file from your computer.

I'd love to get some feedback on the project, and the free trial version (https://wemoov.fitness/exercise.html) will let you try between a few different short dance workout clips and the 'free form' mode. I know the website isn't super pretty yet (kind of embarrassed for this MVP tbh!) but it should be pretty functional!

More info on the Pro version: we give users the ability to load any YouTube video on the right side as your "companion/reference" video, so you can put in a workout vid of your choice if you have a YouTuber, zumba instructor, etc you like to follow. Not just YouTube, but Pro mode also lets you upload any mp4 file from your computer as the companion vid, so you can workout and track calories with any video you want. (A quick technical note - the reference calories from the video assumes that the instructor on the right vid is the same height and weight as you, hence why it's the reference :))

Happy to answer any questions and looking forward to your feedback.
There is no need for a "soul" to produce qualia.

You just need biological machinery and computers are not biological machinery capable of producing sensations.

The phenomena itself is not the same as the description of the phenomena, or a model/simulation.

No matter how well the model predicts the phenomena, it is still not the same thing.

But my postulation was that the simulation won't even be that good because we're still missing so much information.

Further, even IF we could "simulate" every quantum particle itself, the simulation would not be the same thing.
What an entitled moron you're. I'm not even from the States. Do you expect everyone on the planet Earth to learn policies of your government. That'd be too much honor.
I like this a lot. I'm currently thinking a lot about how to expose more control of our article content to our content team. They want to be able to build much more complex layouts, use more imagery, embed videos, control the information hierarchy, and even do basic interaction like buttons to go to show/hide different content.

We're all SwiftUI, so while creating each bit of this isn't a lot of work itself, we need to add it to our API, backend, CMS, editor, database, etc. The more control we can give them over all this the better.

That said, there are things where we (as an engineering team) still need some control. Device support, accessibility – I can see these are fully supported and can be previewed, that's great! A few things that look missing that it would be good to see:

- Design system/styles/etc – we have a set of styles, colours, typefaces, padding sizes, etc that we want to use and/or strongly encourage.

- Custom data. We'd like to be able to pass in details from the system, like who's logged in, name and other user properties that matter in our product.

- Custom components. We have things like a product card component that it would be great to be able to re-use here. How that would get its data though... not sure.

- Custom actions. I can see something about this in the app but not sure how it works. We would want to be able to link to places in the app, ideally with URLs, and have responsibility of presenting that UI handed back to the non-Judo part of the app.

I may be assuming a lot about the product here, maybe this isn't the direction you're thinking, but I'm generally excited by this and keen to see how it develops over time.
So social norms change. So what?

The way that neurotypical Americans currently use facial expressions for public social interaction isn't set in stone, inherent to humanity, or essential to normal development. It is a collection of accidental cultural practices, which are not shared throughout the world right now and will change in the future anyway. So, something might be speeding up the evolution of our cultural conventions right now--so what?

The kids will be fine.

I think YouTube only became profitable in the last few years [1]. And it's not clear at all how much profit YouTube actually generates today since they don't break down net profit for YouTube in their earnings. Remember that 50% of the ad revenue goes to creators (possibly higher for some top end creators). The 50% they keep has to fund all of the infrastructure required to keep YouTube running, which is definitely billions of dollars a year, not even including the employees.

Donald Kagan RIP
The reason I left my Treo for the OG iPhone was the data plan. No one could touch that unlimited data at the time. To me that is what sold the iPhone. I don't know that it ever would have taken off if it had been constrained per KB as was popular at the time. Also the data plan was a bit of a requirement considering the first iPhone was all webapps. I was so pissed when I found out it lacked copy and paste.

Credit is an abstraction over future resources. When you take out a loan, you're basically saying "I am betting that I can produce enough in the future to pay back the resources that I am using now." And if you don't, you're on the hook for it, and potentially go bankrupt.

That's why the financial sector is the weak link, and also why it's very well-compensated. Finance is a future-prediction problem: you do well if you successfully predict which investments will pay off, and you go bankrupt if you fail. Predicting the future has always been hard.

The reason we get these boom/bust crises is because instead of using their own judgment, many people, when faced with a hard problem, will just do what everyone else is doing. So the whole financial industry lemming-trains into bad investments, and then when they bust, they all go bankrupt and there's no resources to go around until the wreckage has been cleared away and placed in more independent manager's hands.
I grew up in a neighboring suburb to Schaumburg, and in junior high or high school in the late 80's early 90's I remember taking a field trip to the Motorola campus (as well as McDonald's Hamburger University!). Mostly I remember a showroom museum of sorts, where much of the early tech, military field radios I remember mostly, was on display.

At the time I was underwhelmed, I think in part because I knew Motorola as a failing microprocessor company, but I was sad I didn't see what appeared to be that museum space in any of the pictures in the linked gallery.
Can you link to any medical case where the patient did not consume any carbs/sugars and still became insulin resistant?

If a patient consumes no carbs, there would be no high levels of blood sugar, no need for insulin to clear excess sugar from the blood…so I’d really like to see what the medical treatment would be for such a patient.
Which is all well and fine if you could actually get the political capital to spend on infrastructure improvements. For 20 years that's been very lacking (current firehouse of spending aside) but political appetite for war has been evergreen. I doubt those skills were so useless as well, in fact, I would wager that a fair number of the medical workers and logistics experts helping us through the pandemic got their start in the military. We're talking about many millions of careers started over the past 20 years.

I would further argue that the human capital is far more important than the physical capital. If you set the continental USA back to a primordial state and provided the population with tents and food aid, I bet we would break all records for a return to a mature service economy.

Again, I agree that we are poorer a window, but if the windows never broke, there's ample evidence that we as a society would have just preferred people to starve rather than pay them to do anything useful like building high speed rail or capturing carbon.

Broken window fallacy is a nice toy economics idea, but it doesn't relate to how societies actually choose to spend or not spend capital.
> The US gave the Afghan military all the toys and training that they need to stomp the Taliban but there is a missing element- decent standards of living, opportunity, education, and national pride/identity.

The thing they lack is loyalty to an occupation government set up and propped up by a foreign invading army. Belonging to the Afghan military means you get a salary in a destroyed country. It doesn't mean that you support an occupation government over your local pious theocrats.

Not sure we're in line with the rest of the industry but we use "users" as a general term and "customers" to refer to those who have placed an order with us at any point. That distinction can be quite useful when discussing user/customer journeys.

Sure they would. The area that would support them would just be shifting.

So what a mammoth needs?

-- food

-- no predators that kills them all (remember, it's humans that killed it)

-- not too hot climate.

Does it require actual ice? Of course not. It is unlikely it lived on ice, it still needed to eat something and that means most likely tundra of some kind.

There is still a lot of tundra today available.
It means the black hole has angular momentum, which is detectable due to the resultant frame dragging (effect of the spinning on the spacetime around it) and presumably also due to the flattening of the sphere of the event horizon.
That’s very short sighted — wind and solar were not initially price competitive either.

This is an old UI redraw strategy. It’s been used since the dawn of GUIs and is referred to as invalidation.

Here’s an example of a standard GUI invalidation event: https://github.com/Planimeter/grid-sdk/blob/master/engine/cl...

As you mentioned, most GUI software invalidates primarily on mouseovers, and individual components handle things like invalidation on focus.

Leftists hate the US/West so much there are literally Taliban apologists here [flagging] any comments that go against the narrative.

You're assumption is correct: there is no non-pedophile side.

From https://www.reuters.com/article/us-afghanistan-rights-women-...

"Fatima’s Taliban husband was so controlling that he refused to allow her to bathe and threatened to burn her face if she dared wear make up, suspicious that his 12-year-old Afghan wife was trying to make herself attractive to other men."

“He became my lawful husband and began to rape me and beat me every single day for not consenting (to sex),”

The Taliban being a pedophile network is well known.

Sure, ad hominem attack.. but stereotypes exist for a reason. If a story is only in places like National Inquirer, or in this case, if the story is only on a place that is rated as a poor news site, then I'm not going to read it.

If it has merit, then it will be republished by more ( non-profit, and independent ) reliable news sources.

>plagiarize first rewrite slowly

Obviously publishing work that isn't your own is wrong, but "plagiarize then rewrite" is a very effective method of developing a creative skill. There is a question about when the transformation really becomes "yours".

An example: Radiohead - "Creep" was a tranformation for The Hollies "The Air that I Breathe", Radiohead later went to sue Lana Del Rey for "Get Free" which seemingly was built with one of the two as a starting point.

The moral question is... when is copying actually ok? How much do you have to transform something until you don't "owe" the result to someone else... or more fundamentally, to what extent should any of us be able to own intellectual property? There are some valid arguments towards "none at all".

It basically tells you what you clicked on, so for example "Widget Gallery: checked checkbox" or "Click me: button" or "width: slider, 250".

It also reads these things out when you tab through the interface (which mostly works). Obviously a bit rough around the edges, but I've seen far worse.

Correct.

Politicians deploy fallacious arguments all the time. Inserting fallacious arguments into speeches in such a way that they aren't obvious is part of basic political speechwriting.

The task facing a politician is to build a cohesive coalition out of a bunch of people who don't really share much. Many of them couldn't distinguish a fallacy from an obscene act. Political speech is persuasive speech, and accurate reasoning is rarely persuasive.
No. At best you get Chomsky's manufactured consent. You get to compare the NYT article to the WaPo article and decide which one has the best information, and you may argue vigorously within that narrow window. You will never be allowed to cite "unapproved" sources in school. You usually won't even be able to cite something like wikileaks except in the context of how an approved source wrote an article about them.
