None of the available places are by superhosts, so it’s best not to risk it.

Just because something or someone is successful doesn't mean all decisions that are made are optimal, close to optimal, or even not an active detriment.

The famous example is people conflating Steve Jobs being an asshole with being successful.
uh... I go to www.reddit.com not old.reddit.com - I don't actively do anything at all, other than change a flag in my user settings. Looking at old.reddit.com in an incognito window looks the exact same as what i see at www.reddit.com. Firefox, ublock origin, no other addons. On mobile and desktop.

> I can assure you It Does Not Work As Expected Or Desired.

in what sense? Seems like it's been the same for ~8yrs, other than having to re-set the flag in settings now and again. Like I said, the only time i've seen an issue is the odd time someone posts an image gallery - I can't see it in oldreddit style unless I click on comments.

Not having to procure or mess around with external devices and cables is a huge plus for most people. People who buy new TVs want great image quality, and are mostly concerned with where it will fit and whether they want 8k or are happy with 4k.

and I don't find anything wrong with that. It would be great if this field would have more creative energy and enthusiasm among general audience, but bashing it on people that are doing something different than what you and I think is better is just wrong.

People are making videos either because they want to or there are greater incentives for that than space fields. The goal should be to create more enthusiasm among people about this field and provide greater incentives to work in this field rather than bashing their fields. What you said in the last sentence reeks of "how the field I like is superior than others".
You're too late and would be better served by aiding the existing companies already doing this such as SpankChain and Treat. These are just two but there are many, many like them.
Honestly this is the sort of thing Social Media companies could be really, really good at.

“Find all Pashto speaking Muslim families from the Kandahar area, currently living in the US, who have two extra bedrooms, and have lived in the US at least seven years. Rank families by likelihood they would sponsor refugees.”

FB should be on this right now.
In SF, Waymo/Cruise/etc have safety drivers behind the wheel who are being paid to ensure the car doesn't crash. Tesla drivers, on the other hand, are often misled about the capabilities of "FSD" and may not be paying as close attention.

Find me a comment or proposed amendment from Rand Paul that says we should be wearing not masks. I sure can't.

It's obvious, bad faith handwaving.

Cloth masks don't work cough as well as n95 masks cough. So we shouldn't ask people to wear masks at all!
The problem is the difficulty in mixing in proprietary blobs. The only way to link proprietary drivers into the kernel is the way Nvidia does it, and it's a legal grey area to this day.
Yeah I'm sure Facebook asking those Muslim families how many extra bedrooms they have at home won't freak anyone out.

So instead of conducting a phase 3 trial on a new booster targeted toward Delta, Pfizer is recycling its old vaccine shots for everyone because... profits?

data is never personal, data by definition is public, not to sound too anarcho-capitalist about this but "people's data"a ready starts to sound like there's a notion of collective ownership involved as opposed to "personal" data or information which wouldn't be there for the "stealing" or "selling" in the first place had the technology it rides on didn't exist and so on and so forth.
Great to see blind fanboy-ism up and at it again.
I created a free data exchange product between Twitter and Facebook in the form of a chrome extension https://2fb.me

It’s interesting to see that this protocol product may be the only way to see tweets freely between two walled gardens today.

But I guess it should have been predicted when function and good UX took a back seat to profitability years ago.
This could probably have one of the single greatest global impacts on mental health ever take by anyone/anything/any-organization ever. If users respond in the negative.

Even a 5% reduction in social media exposure could have the potential to move the global suicide rate significantly.
This is all about enforcement, and using social pressure to make people mask up. If you have to mask up outdoors, it's harder to "forget" your mask when you pop into a shop or pub.
Tweetdeck offers a great interface and it's also an official client run by Twitter. Better information density. I have 20+ different columns with different focuses or "priorities".
It's not, but I think you could argue that people have an obligation to help out those of their own family/city/country moreso than people elsewhere.

I do thinl there is an element of empathy that has been stripped away from the military as it has modernized. The same is true for startups as they have modernised.

Before, the commander was the first in and last man out of battle (the article's "lead by example") now we have smooth talking presidents sending young men to die in a suit and tie. Napoleon would have none of that.

Likewise, whereas before startups genuinely tried to do good (google "dont be evil", staying out of China, game devs creating worlds like 2nd life etc); nowadays startups actively find ways to treat you as the product, to be sold to the highest bidder and you are just a number on some dashboard, that must be enticed to engage. See Google, Zynga, FB, etc .

Empathy has gone missing and this is not a particular problem for startups or military.

There are too many degrees of separation between the ruler and the ruled. Between the doer and the consumer. As that distance increases, we also lose connection to what matters.

The incompetent are shmoozing themselves into power, and this phenomena is not specific to 1 part of society
I disagree.

When I was at IBM 15 years ago, IBM was far from being a monopoly, since there were plenty of competitors in the hardware space (HP, Sun, Dell, etc) and in the software space (Oracle, SAP, etc.) and in the Services space (Accenture, PwC, KPMG, etc.) employees still had to complete annual legal training that was very similar to what was described in the post.

Any large company with half-way competent legal counsel is going to tell their employees not to say, "our goal is to crush our competitors, dominate the market, and hear the lamentation of their women." Instead they will tell their employees to focus on making life better for their customers. It's a much healthier way for product managers to focus, and what you might do if the goal is "crush/dominate the competition" is not the same than if the goal is delight the customer. So it's not just a messaging strategy to prevent embarassing e-mails from coming out at trial; it's a business strategy, too.
here's my attempt at unifying SQLAlchemy and Pydantic. I use the new dataclasses support in both libraries to do this.

https://gist.github.com/sandys/671b8b86ba913e6436d4cb22d04b1...

This example trys to play with some quirky table structures - Mixins, Surrogate primary keys, index, etc

Both async and sync modes.

I like what @tiangolo has done with SQLModel, but i suspect that a lot of people who are already using sqlalchemy in production will prefer to unify via dataclasses versus switching the DX to a new library.

And this is possible today.
Na, actually not. It’s labeled as beta, it is always explicit about the fact that it must be watched at all times and that your hand has to remain on the wheel. There’s no ambiguity about it.
Ok, so I ran a ping again from my data center server. And for CDN.google.com, I get average of less than 0.2ms ping. But, when pinging www.gstatic.com, that is when I get more like 7-10ms.

I'm not sure what the difference is between the two.
This kind of political wars are very harmful for vacination process. Of course there is a chance of the fraud but the same chance is for other vaccines as well and we need to talk about it. But is it a good time for such a fight?
That isn't the hand of government at work. The term "scientist" is itself only ~200 years old. For centuries it was called things like "natural philosophy".

We just haven't figured out a good antonym yet. Unfortunately, with the Latin root scientia meaning knowledge, the natural choice might be ignorantia. But ignorance is already in widespread use. Just try accusing someone unscientific of being ignorantific & see how that goes!

Do they? Googles competition is Facebook (advertising). But Google seems very wary about going into FB dominated areas (Google+ notwithstanding), and FB is very wary about going into Google areas (no FB phones or tablets).

They kind of agree Google is the search/Android company, and FB is the social network company, and that way they can both sell ads.

Even Reddit, Snapchat, and TikTok, FBs main competitors, were never “crushed.” There was never a full out assault on them.

FBs attitude seemed to be to watch them, learn from them, and adopt their best practices.
What absolutely blew me away was to realize that operators were able to guide the Lunokhods by looking at the low-res video feed in black-and-white on a small CRT with motion feedback latency.

Apple’s New ‘Child Safety’ Plan for iPhones Isn’t So Safe
> it has nothing to do with hacking or technology

> please explain how this belongs.

I see no reason to downvote, but in some businesses they have a thing called engineering.

Recording engineers are their own breed and many of the rock & roll greats were not university-trained but through years of serious progress earned the title with far less likelihood than a student entering a traditional engineering college.

When the Stones started they only used 4-track studio recording gear and of course it was analog based on vacuum tubes with magnetic tape.

Fairly big sound they got.

Today's digital engineers can be considered to have a vast array of tools which never existed then, and 32 channels plus.

Even with all that and the best software money can buy, there are going to be some engineers who never come close to capturing the real sound of a 4-piece rock act no matter how much time they put into mixing it.

Not compared to a hastily mixed cut from a legendary analog release.

And state-of-the-art studios may not be able to record at all without the functioning or presence of software which is naturally expected but not one of the limitations or show-stoppers of the analog days.

Rock & roll is just one example of how technology marches on but people themselves don't necessarily get more advanced at the same rate.

Sometimes even slip backwards.

But oh well, that's technology for you.

Probably only of interest to engineers anyway.

It sounds a bit to me like maybe "all these years working on these start ups..." and such has you burnt out on that sort of environment, as well.

Web dev to embedded is pretty much the biggest jump I can imagine. You'll definitely need something on your resume besides 7 years of PHP, etc. if you want to try this. The good news is that if you're determined to go this route, you can get some of this experience working with Arduinos and other fun little microcontrollers.

As far as games go, if you hated the "fast paced environment" of a startup, I'm gonna guess you'll hate game dev.

If you want to play to the strengths of your experience, you can probably find a home at a larger tech company, one that's not so startup-like. A larger company offers a lot of advantages over startups: you get to see what a mature tech stack is like and how it all fits together; you have opportunities for mentorship; and a large company has processes & procedures that are mature and tested.

If you really are as out of touch with the basics as you claim, you'll definitely need to study Leetcode to have the best chance at many companies. And, I wouldn't be afraid of being downleveled to a mid-level position, as opposed to a senior level position that would befit 7 YoE.

All this stuff is just my humble opinion, and mine alone. Given that it's free advice, I will, however, guarantee that it's worth every penny you're paying for it. ;-)

Facebook knows exactly how many bedrooms it’s users has. If they know their address (pretty easy for FB to find out), the number of bedrooms is public record.
Very consistent with what tptacek has been advocating for on news.yc over the years.

The authn mechanism we use is closer to Keybase's NIST (non-interactive session tokens)[0] that are a mix of AWS-style Bearer Tokens and the usual Random Tokens. Of course, the problems around "logistics" (public-key cryptography)[1] are a real nightmare as the post points out.

We exchange these tokens between devices (if needed) over password-authenticated channels (using CPACE [2]).

I get the DIY spirit but with any thin crust pizza, I'm happy to yield to my local pizza shops. If I have the itch to make a pizza, I usually make a Sicilian style pizza which I think works better with the average home setup.
Missed that, my apologies. I will note that it is the device (Pixel), not the OS, that has the blob requirement. Projects like Replicant demonstrate how Android can be completely Free and Open.

That's exactly what they want - for these engineers to no longer work at Google. That's why they fired them. Quitting is probably preferred.

You are right, I remembered that differently, though I'm not sure your interpretation is correct either.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provisional_Irish_Republican_A...

On 9 February 1996 a statement from the Army Council was delivered to the Irish national broadcaster Raidió Teilifís Éireann announcing the end of the ceasefire, and just over 90 minutes later the Docklands bombing killed two people and caused an estimated £100–150 million damage to some of London's more expensive commercial property.[183][184] Three weeks later the British and Irish governments issued a joint statement announcing multi-party talks would begin on 10 June, with Sinn Féin excluded unless the IRA called a new ceasefire.[185] The IRA's campaign continued with the Manchester bombing on 15 June, which injured over 200 people and caused an estimated £400 million of damage to the city centre.[186] Attacks were mostly in England apart from the Osnabrück mortar attack on a British Army base in Germany.[185][187] The IRA's first attack in Northern Ireland since the end of the ceasefire was not until October 1996, when the Thiepval barracks bombing killed a British soldier.[188] In February 1997 an IRA sniper team killed Lance Bombadier Stephen Restorick, the last British soldier to be killed by the IRA.[189]

Following the May 1997 UK general election Major was replaced as prime minister by Tony Blair of the Labour Party.[190] The new Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Mo Mowlam, had announced prior to the election she would be willing to include Sinn Féin in multi-party talks without prior decommissioning of weapons within two months of an IRA ceasefire.[190] After the IRA declared a new ceasefire in July 1997, Sinn Féin was admitted into multi-party talks, which produced the Good Friday Agreement in April 1998.[191][192]

Beware of Signal: it depends on the proprietary Google Play Services library, so even if you don't have the Play Services on your phone, the app is built with the "client-side" code which speaks with it (or with microG) and checks for its presence.

FreeSignal was a project that aimed to remove this dependency completely but was stopped by the main developer of Signal. It is possible to clone Signal's repo and do this work yourself quite easily if you know Java a bit, but it takes time and it is not convenient.
Absolutely, it’s all about cost/benefit and incentives. If you look at the share of over-70s that are vaccinated, it’s basically the same extremely high rate regardless of party affiliation. They have skin in the game and so they can’t afford to posture as it very well might cost them their lives to do so.

For 20 year-olds, kind of the opposite currently. Costs very little to use this choice as a political signaling gesture. But if the cost increases, as you say, behaviors will change and people will change their position. Talk is cheap, it’s easy to say “never” when it costs you ~nothing to do so.

But in short, I do strongly agree that mandates will be more persuasive than just approval alone. But I think full approval will still be beneficial in places that won’t make mandates.

I dunno, I like a cooked sauce sometimes. Lucali cooks it and it adds a nice caramelized flavor to the pizza. Part of the beauty with pizza are the many different ways to make it. I also like the Difara/Lucali etc. way of adding multiple cheeses, usually a low moisture mozzarella and a Parmesan, sometimes also a fresh, wet mozzarella. Doesn't mean pizzas with only mozzarella are bad.
