Yes, and it is extremely aggravating! It's always some incredibly shitty proprietary software with a bloated gamer interface that takes seconds if not minutes to even start up.

My laptop came with this crapware too and it pissed me off so much I reverse engineered it into a simple free software program that turns all the stupid lights off instantly.

Turns out all these shitty apps do is send a bunch of USB configuration packets which were easy enough to figure out with wireshark. The Razer products do the same thing, open source code is already out there. Sometimes they use convoluted interfaces like I2C and ACPI/WMI. Haven't had luck with these.
Completely wrong place to ask, but why can't bike lanes be part of a wider side-walk instead of extending the road?
> These days, when even a few hurdles of crap present themselves, I often just leave. I don’t care what the site has to say or sell me.

I find that disabling JavaScript often helps. I have it enabled by default, but disable it in uBlock on a per-site basis if some crap pops up. A lot of the times that fixes things.

For example for some reason the BBC thinks it's helpful to display a big fat "Register for an account today!" every fucking time I visit their website, but with JS disabled you don't get it. I think missing out on all BBC content would be too high of a price to pay, especially since most news sites do something similar (or worse).

Downside is that sometimes stuff like images no longer work. It's usually not a big deal.
You are spreading misinformation because you are not telling what age group is the most endangered and with what comorbidites.

For example mortality rate in Mexico is 7.8% and in Peru 9.2% but in Denmark it is 0.8% and in Netherlands 0.9%.[0]

You are not taking age of the group, health status and medical history of the group and quality of the health care and quality of the treatment they received in consideration.

And I referred to the death rate in the beginning of the pandemic and to be true you can not know real death cause of a person without autopsy.

> I submit that a preferred course may be granting people the liberty to decide for themselves.

Individuals who can not spread covid-19 to other individuals should be afforded that liberty. Putting all of the burden of self-protection on individuals is too high a bar in a pandemic.

Your argument is that kids *might* have trouble developing social cues because facial expressions are hidden behind masks.

But, even with masks on at school, your kids have plenty of unmasked time at home.

This is one reason why, after 18 months of masking, there is still no data supporting your argument.
I feel like this is a pretty bold statement, and I'm not sure how much evidence there is behind this.
reasonable defaults are way better, or you'd end up with something like SELinux where nothing works out of the box
> So now someone tell me why we get such sites?

People posting on HN usually work on web applications. Those don't need to serve ads because somebody is already paying for the service provided (e.g. Netflix, Salesforce, JIRA).

Similarly, they don't serve annoying email popups because every user is already logged in, and their email is already known. A random website you came across while searching for X, doesn't have that luxury.

So they can afford to talk about bad UX elsewhere, because their websites don't have to compromise on UX to make money.
I would expect new bike shop openings to significantly lag, not lead, local cycling popularity, but maybe that’s only the case in areas where real estate is expensive.
But what when people care ? I work in a field where individuals regularly spend 4 to 5 figures for a new CPU for a half-percent of single-core performance improvement ; computers will literally never be fast enough for what we want to do with them so our job is to leave exactly zero possibility for improvement through software
Even a die-hard Keynesian would agree that while the monetary supply is not fixed, the amount of productivity in our economy is at any given moment. And when we decide to spend $5T of printed money on something boneheadedly stupid, while those dollars are not technically lost, we did lose our capacity to spend two decades, $5T worth of labor and supplies on something else -- something that would have made us all richer people today.

And as any economist will tell you -- you can print money right up until you can't. And when you realize you can't print anymore money -- it's already too late to course correct without inflicting tremendous misery on real people.
>A radiation hardened PowerPC 750 operates no differently from a PowerPC 750 you'd find on Ebay.

The RAD750 costs $200k. I doubt the ARM processor in Ingenuity costs that much.

>Do you really want to see that trend go beyond crappy cellphones designed to be thrown out every other year?

I want cheaper rovers and probes, this is NASA's test for viability

>with regard to the effects of radiation on electronic.

You can test shit in the lab all day but eventually you have to test in the field.

>Does Mars have some new kind of radiation that our highly controlled labs can't replicate?

Do we know exactly the levels of radiation on the surface?

>Of course not, it is a nonsensically wasteful way to test our understanding of radiation - at best.

It's a live, in the field test of off-the-shelf components in space craft on a bonus mission unrelated to the main rover. What would be a sensically nonwasteful test of COSTS processors on Mars be?

>the processor has no way of self diagnosing internal faults caused by ionizing radiation

The helicopter flies and takes pictures. It's had 12 flights as of this comment. When it stops working, we'll know how long regular processors can last.

Interesting people

Interesting events

Working on actually interesting things

Availability of tech jobs

Good scenery

Lots of places to exercise

Somewhat decent medical specialists which don't exist outside of a couple of major metro areas in the US

Startup investment which is hard to get if you don't live here, but if you do take it they also expect you to pay yourself barely enough to live

Good Asian supermarkets and overall decent food

There is some basic disfunctional public transit here which doesn't exist in most of the US; US cities with good transit are equally expensive
As a pharmacist, I know this well. However, seeing what an expert who has seen that evidence uses—including the unpublished studies of one unnamed large skin care pharma company—carries some weight, at least for me. Alpha-hydroxy acids and retinol have the best evidence overall.
Has anyone convincingly demonstrated actual being able to read message of someone else through any means? I keep reading many theoretical attacks ranging from weak encryption to social hacking to identity spoofing to cloning. This demonstration was when you have physical access to locked SIM, which means that SIM locking is not effective but having a physical SIM is still required.
Indeed I plan on contacting both cal-fire and my representative. It’s high time a public, open source alternative to Twitter is developed. We have cspan; we need the Twitter equivalent. Twitters curious choices around who gets deplatformed (the taliban are ok? really?!) should be enough justification.

Police enforce property rights of the rich first and occasionally help us plebs as an afterthought if inaction would make them look bad. They're are an organized violence mafia to feed for-profit prisons and pad stats for the criminal justice-industrial complex.
I absolutely do not support the way the taliban treat women. I think you need to move pretty far to an extreme to move the needle towards the middle though.

Harris:

"If the public health professionals, if Dr. Fauci, if the doctors tell us that we should take it, I’ll be the first in line to take it. Absolutely. But if Donald Trump tells us that we should take it, I’m not taking it."

Kamala says she would not take a vaccine recommended by Trump, even if recommended by scientists. There is no way in the US for a vaccine to be publicly available without FDA approval so the only interpretation that makes sense is one where even if the FDA approved it, if Trump also approved it she would not take it.

Biden:

"Look at what’s happened. Enormous pressure put on the CDC not to put out the detailed guidelines. The enormous pressure being put on the FDA to say they’re going, that the following protocol will in fact reduce, it will have a giant impact on COVID. All these things turn out not to be true, and when a president continues to mislead and lie, when we finally do, God willing, get a vaccine, who’s going to take the shot? Who’s going to take the shot? You going to be the first one to say, ‘Put me — sign me up, they now say it’s OK’? I’m not being facetious."

Biden says he does not trust the CDC and FDA (at the time) because of political influence.
What I've noticed about the French/Italian food snobs is that they seem to view American food culture as it was in 1990s suburbia. Back then, good olive oil or artisanal cheese was pretty hard to find outside of small "gourmet" food stores. It's very different today.
I agree with you, but I do think that as a society we need to think about mechanisms to prevent false accusations and wrongful convictions. Both sexes can have immoral motivations [1].

In general, people are more likely to believe the word of a woman over the word of a man. So if a woman accuses a man of something, unless he can prove his innocence, he's got I would estimate a 3/4 chance of being found guilty of whatever the crime is. I think we need some way to rebalance that.

All laws and prosecutorial systems should be designed with misuse in mind, because misuse will happen. We should always think, "if I felt wronged by some person and wanted to get revenge, using the system as a weapon and being willing to lie, could I successfully use the system to get my revenge?" And I think in many cases in our current systems the answer is yes, misuse is very much possible. I won't even bother to describe any scenarios, because I'm sure we can all imagine them. Well, here's one [2]

Yep...because if anyone has a huge amount of skepticism of Chinese information it's going to be Taiwan. They have recently taken a turn for the worse, but they managed through over a year with very little infections (<1,000) because they acted early and took every precaution...including travel bans. They saw a huge jump in May and took immediate action and the new infection rate is now low double digits per day.

There are two of those (or at least, representations), for Twitter and Facebook.

Could use another few dozen, just for luck.

(A few years ago I started collecting screenshots of link litter. I think the max was about a dozen links, though most sites seem to keep it to 3--5.)
Yep we've actually had that happen already. Happy to help if you'd like.

To reiterate thought: I have nothing against these programs, from the outside they look really solid & I overall really support the direction of treatment.
Kinda. I mean, yeah I shouldn't judge every Linux Desktop user by assholes, but it doesn't take very many asshole Linux Desktop evangelists to make somebody not want to deal with the Linux Desktop community because of the likelihood of running into an evangelical asshole.

It's like how women gamers talk about having to deal with misogynist assholes online. Sure, there aren't that many misogynists really, percentage wise, but there's plenty enough to make running in to one a near certainty.
The training set used has a lot of diversity. There is no training done on frames of the user - those photos are not stored, process or transferred in any way.

We have users with long hair that covers their ears or users that wear headphones that go over their ears and head and they use the app perfectly fine. One thing that can affect the accuracy of the algorithms is the lighting in the room - poor or extremely strong lighting in some cases can lead to slight inaccuracies.
They post updates on their website but it’s very useful to have meteorologists, journalists and the public able to post alongside.
You don't have to say it in such culture war-y terms, or to sound so reactionary. It stands to reason that the average Afghan may hate and fear the Taliban, but hate and fear the invading Westerners even more.

Besides, it's a repeating leitmotif of history that whenever a foreign power invades a far-away land, they find the locals more preoccupied with their internecine power struggle. It happened in the Crusades and in the conquest of Peru and Mexico by the Conquistadores. It has probably happened in every major empire-building campaign before and since. The locals fight the invaders only to the extent that the foreigners interfere with the locals' plans, and often the locals attempt to use the invaders as pawns (often only to find to their great dismay that the "pawns" then turn around and take their king- as famously happened with Moctezuma and Atahualpa).
Not to mention that they can just keep pushing the "temporary" "end date" forward and forward all they want.
A static ad wouldn't be nearly as bad as a "audience-targeted" ad that's dynamically served several seconds after the page loads, reflowing the entire layout and causing page jank.

For example, I know that every issue of the Economist is going to have an ad for a luxury watch I will never buy on the inside cover. I have full-on banner blindness to that. That's impossible on display ads that are dynamically placed right in the middle of the article body.
Those are opposite statements.

True! The “Literacy” rate has been increased drastically but that’s not the same thing as education. Something is wrong with the system that despite teaching basic biology and physics in high schools, you still find a significant number of high school graduates who think the vaccine shot suddenly turns you into a big magnet.
Sorry your life sucks so much that you have to be an ass on the internet to strangers to feel better about yourself. I hope things get better for you one day.
The case against self checkout is simply this: it is better for humans to do complex things like customer service. Automation should be used for non customer facing jobs like restocking. I wouldn't mind shopping around a robot as much as I dislike having my shopping experience dinner by self checkout.
By single case I assume you're referring the outbreak that has spread to 100+ cases in the last week (from transmission before the lockdown and associated households). If you use a country as an example, then please represent the situation there accurately.

Filing a bug report is not abuse, it's literally why there are bug trackers. Take a good long look at what you're doing here and ask why it might be that people hate dealing with people like you.

While the goal of theoretical physics is to have a reductionist approach to understanding reality, it looks like most of this is being spent on sub-nuclear particle physics and extreme astronomical situations. There are many real life situations that can be explained and understood better with branches of theoretical physics such as dynamical systems, condensed matter, statistical physics and others. There needs more funding so more people can solve problems that are of direct societal interest which in turn can attract more funding and students.
It matters to me- if I got asked what my GPA was I took it as a strong signal that this company didn't know how to evaluate engineers. ¯|_(ツ)_/¯
Thinking of the second world war (via Keynes): the Nazis attempted to increase their Pot (note that the comment's Pot is denominated in people and land, not in money, so I believe TFA agrees more with The Pot Theory than the Pot comment thinks it does) by capturing oil-rich areas, but fortunately for us, were stopped at Stalingrad. Had they succeeded, they'd have had the resources to keep expanding, but as it was, they discovered: no oil, no blitz.
I've worn a mask for probably over 1500 hours in a restaurant that never closed and I and my coworkers have gotten along just fine. I just don't understand why so many people are resisting them so and acting so put upon.
If anything, it seems like a non-first world problem. I assume they have older, less powerful hardware in developing countries.
I think anyone that thinks that this issue of just closing the schools is an easy answer has no idea what the hell they are talking about.

My mother teaches at a Title I school (that means the schools that get the most federal funding because things are rough) they provide lunch and breakfast for the kids because many kids will probably not get fed otherwise. For these kids the risk of the problems that will arise from COVID are a much smaller risk and impact than what will happen to them if they are at home all day.

My point is that the more sure you're right about a given issue the more likely you are to be ignorant of what is really going on.
Words need to keep their meaning. Poking a finger at someone's shoulder and calling it "rape" trivializes actual rape.

There's also relative degrees of suffering and intent to commit malice. Some don't fit neatly into a particular degree of a charge and are inherently "wobblers" (felonies or misdemeanors) depending on other factors.
>A whole generation of blacks could not get decent jobs for reasons like that. This generation gave birth to a new generation with less opportunities than they could have had because of the opportunities their parents got denied. It takes long time do undo the damage such profound discrimination causes, and it requires the heroic effort of many individuals like this reporter.

Every new group in the US is initially seen as "the other". After some point, however, employers that hire "the other" find that they can pay them less because there is less demand to hire them, and thus benefit financially, they hire more. As other employers follow suit, over time the salaries go up until they match that of other groups.

Their children benefit. The first generation of manual laborers and farmworkers begets the second generation of policemen, nurses, and soldiers begets the third generation of doctors and lawyers and professors.

In the US this has happened to Irish, Italians, Germans, Russians, Jews, Asians, Indians, and Latinos. Why hasn't this happened to blacks (or has happened in substantially less numbers), despite the latter having the benefit of US citizenship and command of the English language from birth?

Error stack traces in Go with x/xerror
Yep. Not only this but in the sample "wd:Q9682" is a lie. wd is a namespace shortcut which is expended to an URI, and the prefix to URI mapping has to be defined as part of the query, otherwise it won't work. Notice how the sample use two of those prefixes (wd and wdt): data is segregated in different namespace that one have to search for and remember each time they want to make a query. And I mean remembering the prefix value, ie a partial URI, not the little cute prefix like wd that semweb sample always use.
Smokers are at lower risk of COVID 19 death.

Also, why not make being a healthy weight mandatory? I mean, other than it isn’t a patented pharmaceutical product to be sold? We already have determined that indefinite, population-wide house arrest is OK.

My thoughts are that if you’re afraid of SARS and have confidence in Pfizer and friends, then purchase their products. They’re 99% effective, right?
I'm almost tempted to apply for a job at Reddit to see why their engineering is such omnishambles. It's impressive in a way. The only good thing I have to say about it is that they're committed to keeping old.reddit.com alive indefinitely.

Oh god, that's just the worst. My laptop defaults to maximally bright blue lights for the keyboard whenever it's turned on. Had to keep Windows 10 installed just so I could turn that shit off via proprietary manufacturer crapware that takes one minute to even get an unresponsive interface on the screen. Pissed me off so much I reverse engineered it into a Linux program that does it instantly.

Seriously what are these manufacturers thinking? It's like they go out of their way to make things as bad as possible.
