> This is a wake up call for us to make free and open source Smart TV operating system so we can stop this tyranny.

Heh, firey take.

Personally my want is for systems like Netflix's Discovery and Launch[1] to take off. TV's can present themselves on the network, and phones or other devices can tell them to start running certain activities, & control them from afar.

There's been some good work to try to modernize these early protocols, & to build a more robust, fully featured, competent standard. That work has been happening at Open Screen Protocol[2] spec, which recently went Draft.

Alas, of course, Apple seems like they're going to do everything they can to prevent open standards from succeeding. They have a couple dozen patents vaguely in the field, most of which seem farcially ridiculously generic & obvious, and the bulk of these patents don't start expiring till 2024. They've disclaimed these to the working group[3] and while it doesn't prevent the standard from being worked on, as far as I know, it means there's almost no chance of it being supported or shipped until ~2028 or latter.

This is a spec that seems enormously pure & good, based on simple, obvious, straightforward ideas. I'd expect a random pick of Senior Engineer I's to come up with a design real similar to what is presented here- little of it feels novel or interesting. It's so damning, so sad that this world feels so obstructed, so road blocked, from doing the right thing, from the good & easy paths. And Apple being the sinister juggernaut preventing the good just feels so typical to me, locking us in to specific narrow means, controlling how we connect, how we think. It's been very hard days for me hearing Apple set us back like this. And I have no hope any kind of Fair Reasonable and Non-discriminatory licensing will ever be set up, no confidence we could try to find a legal route, even if we wanted to. Humanity is occluded by the largest, vastest, highest tech entity on the planet, held back.

You can currently do the following with Kryptor:

The difference is that this uses your encryption private key. However, I will look into just supporting -p because that's a fair point, although that would be trickier to implement.

As for the unusable statement, I'm referring to the long list of other commands, which is more linked to digital signatures than encryption. For instance, there are entire guides and hour long YouTube videos on how to use GPG.

Edit: I've reworded my criticisms of GPG to clarify that it's not universally difficult to use.
Just about no one uses “public intercourse” unless they’re referring to people having sex, in public.

Just because a definition -technically- exists doesn’t mean it’s actually used very much, or is the main definition the word is used for. “Public discourse” is correct, at least for Standard American English.

edit: I am not arguing that this definition doesn't exist. As a native speaker I'm saying that it is very rarely used, if ever. A correction to "public discourse", a statement that actually -is- used by native speakers with frequency, is perfectly reasonable. Communication isn't about being technically correct in order to win arguments.
The who is watching is on netflix and prime as well. I do wish they would only present that if there are more than one profile, as it makes no sense if there's only one.

However, that matters much less as long as the app works after that. For other apps, seeking crashes the app. Other apps get stuck in loading after hitting play. Other apps crash when loading more content into a carousel. Some apps start with a crappy low quality stream, and eventually work up to a better stream (where Netflix/Prime/HBO seem to never start that low).

So yes, in my day-to-day usage, that "who's watching" is seen so rarely, it's not a big deal to me. It doesn't occur every time the app is launched.
VCs are usually wrong. Angels are probably wrong even more. However, nobody at all showing interest might not be a great sign, either. Secondly and perhaps more importantly: don't confuse accelerator/incubator programs with investors per-se. The former group tend to be very focused on a specific period such as feasibility or pre-seed and in a poor case are actually consciously making their money out of systemically reselling the x% of the companies they bought in to for tea-and-biscuits at a higher valuation with high frequency and rapid turnaround. They can be very clearly misaligned with adding long-term value, and just want to push for a fast flip. That's why some will pressure for MVP/POC, stupid timeframes and in-person presentations even when it makes little sense technically or commercially for the venture itself to do so. It can be real rabbit/hat smoke-and-mirrors stuff. That's private equity in general.
I believe solutions like SafetyNet on Android might help here. AFAIK no one has successfully reversed SafetyNet enough to spoof it.

.....what is this comment?
Is there reason to be a lending company for other lending companies rather than just lending directly and using the innovative founder types as franchisees of a sort?
There are plenty of curious comments in this thread. Those take time to show up, because they require reflection, not just reflexivity, and that function is just a lot slower. Repeating something from a hot, bubbling cache—pre-boiling rage!—is super fast. That is why comments show up so quickly to muck up fresh threads with angry reflexes.

Of course, those comments trigger angry reflexes in others, so we're in a flamewar before curious conversation has had a chance to put its boots on. Blaming "HN" for this is a red herring—the overwhelming majority of HN readers and commenters are doing nothing of the sort, and some of them have interesting things to say about barber shops.

I do create my own "EFI stub" by embedding the kernel and initrd in a GRUB image as memdisk using grub-mkimage. Then I sign that using my own keys and copy it over to the EFI partition. One cool thing about it is that I can still adjust kernel boot parameters, or load entirely different kernels by mounting the encrypted LVM volume of I really need to. Using the kernel's own stub support this isn't possible, but at the end the grub image still a single self-contained bootable EFI executable file, just like the Linux stub.
The serverless post on the Scoble blog is not even about what we think of as Serverless now, just good old cloud. As in "you don't have any physical servers?"
I completely agree. I was pretty critical of them when they were just a tiny slice of Arizona, but going from n to n+1 is really major progress.

The fact that the +1 is a city as complex as SF is a really good sign as well. If they can handle SF, they can handle Charlotte, Atlanta, LA, and many other major metros just as "easily".

I'm a lot more optimistic for their rollout now.
This will be interesting to watch. I don't use Amazon's "Channels", but I do currently bundle my HBO Max subscription with Hulu and watch some HBO (only) shows and movies through the Hulu app (though I still have to use the HBO Max app for most of their catalog). It would be irritating to me if HBO divorced from this Hulu deal as well, so I definitely appreciate those concerns here about the Amazon divorce.

From my understanding Hulu shares a lot more metrics data with HBO though, and these days isn't seen so much of a direct competitor and more of a partner. (Though that may change again soon as Disney continues to consolidate power over Hulu, I suppose.)
Sadly PS4 is pretty bad for streaming services. They don't show up on the main screen and often are buried in subsequent pages in the streaming menu.

I haven't been able to figure how to "sticky" YT TV for example to either the main screen or early in the "Video" section.
How is that relevant to read-only access, which is what is reportedly being newly blocked?
More commonly known as Usenet. (Or maybe google groups, lol)
> This tells me that we’re still a long way from full level 4 (and certainly level 5) autonomy in a busy city like San Francisco.

I think its in part regulatory relating to paid rides in autonomous vehicles in CA, which is why Cruise is dodging it with passenger-carrying but unpaid rides that are fully driverless. I can't find a good summary of the rules, but I infer from the coverage I've seen that the threshold for having no safety driver when offering paid passenger rides is different from that without paid passengers.
Cities don't have the room for everyone to be driving a single occupancy vehicle point-to-point. There just isn't room.
Go with the idea you think has the best chance of success.

Otherwise you're only setting yourself up for failure.
> It's worse than that. The US taught the Afgan military how to fight the US way with US air support.

That sounds like the US taught the Afghan military how to fight assuming the US would stay there forever. Seems like a either a shortsighted decision or a deliberately political one - "We can't possibly leave! Their military will collapse without US air support."

Either way, it's hard to describe anything about a 20 year occupation as "sudden" and having "no transition period". If the US was not able to establish a functional Afghan military after 20 years, what difference would a few weeks/months really make?

Edit:

> this is the equivalent of teaching some swim classes on the blackboard and then throwing the kids into the ocean and walking away.

If you've been teaching swimming exclusively on the blackboard for 20 years it's probably time to retire as a teacher - your students are never going to learn how to swim from you.
The way you express yourself makes me think you have just switched accounts.
Here's a video that illustrates my point better than what I commented, and there are some studies cited in the description which validate my admittedly anecdotal experience.

There is a full document available on the SAE website with full descriptions and technical details. Its much better than the common summaries.
Is Jaguar still a niche brand?

Most taxis in Denmark and Germany are Mercedes-Benz so it's not uncommon for the taxi industry to use luxury brands.
Thanks for letting me know about Jellyfin. I've been using Plex recently for video, and I hate it. It downright ignores files that it can't find metadata for, which drives me nuts. And I despise their push to login to use anything..
On the north side there was also a plan to bridge San Francisco / Angel Island / Tiburon! Part of it still exists as Route 131.

Here you can see an idea of doubling-up the Bay Bridge, plus a view of the Southern Crossing / I-980 alignment: https://www.flickr.com/photos/walkingsf/4247129432/
I think that varies a lot around the world.

Under Danish law even if you were in good faith you will still loose the merchandise. If you were in bad faith you can be punished with a fine or even prison in the most severe cases.

I’m pretty sure Tesla’s whole strategy is to overpromise so much it’s as much a legal liability to not have L5 than to have L5.
I wonder how much of this is due to the fact that initially the system really is mostly trained by your preference, but over time, it then becomes trained on your preference mediated by the algorithm, and then slowly you see a divergence of your actual preferences and what it suggests to you/you end up clicking on. Peter Norvig had a great lecture about this in the context of language translation, and how despite so much info being out there on the web, known "good" corpuses of data that were 100% human-made and guaranteed to not being the product of an algortihm (like official translations of UN documents) were still super useful.

Why would you want to start with anything less than your "best"?

Hopefully, one (or more) will work out

Good luck

Cool idea! I wish you guys existed a few years ago.

What loan management systems do you integrate with? They can all be so wildly different that normalizing over all of them is a great accomplishment.

Being a marketplace for lenders to credit warehouses could be neat. You can get data from the LMS, normalize it, show a bunch of credit warehouses at the same time, and see who offers the best deal. That's a cool vision because it means you could scale with your companies.

It's also WILDLY different from Pipe because lending is so damn specialized.

That said, I would be afraid of getting cut out at scale. Not sure how to protect against that. You can't really anonymize what company it came from because high performing companies would get punished and bail out.

Hope you kick ass! Great idea.
The edge cases requiring immediate human attention are still too frequent for the human safety driver to be remote, as is the case in Phoenix.

I think you can only determine that if you know how many times the human attendant takes over.

Just having a human behind the wheel doesn't tell you much, I don't see how to get full self-driving without an intermediate step of human supervision.
Yup. I had a very "food motivated" cat and our lives was made much more pleasant by setting a "food alarm". That way she wouldn't bother me until the alarm goes off.

My current cats are free-fed but they get quite annoying if their bowl runs low. (they know how to get your attention)

Rt>1 means that there is a doubling rate of some number of days. Vaccines aren't 100% effective. The more cases, the more breakthrough cases. There are also children under 12. You can't say that all infected people had a choice in the matter, it simply isn't true.
Yes, inducing some demand is the point. People have to live somewhere, work somewhere, and until recently generally had to commute between the two. When this happens in your circulatory system it's called a stroke :p

That would be about as huge of a security failure as an attacker sending out a malicious OS update for any other device, except with a planned, controlled way to disable TVs, Samsung could reenable them promptly once they realize.

Intentionally disabling purchased devices to force them to buy new ones is called trespass to chattels and is illegal.
There are different definitions of unemployment (BLS uses U1 through U6) and they give different numbers, but the US government is pretty consistent at using U3 as the "official" unemployment rate. When the other unemployment rates are mentioned, it's usually as rhetorical devices by politicians/pundits to say how the badly the current administration is doing (eg. "you're a fool if you think the unemployment rate is [U3 unemployment rate], the actual unemployment rate is [U4/U5/U6 unemployment rate]!"). I'm not aware of governments flip flopping between different unemployment definitions, at least in developed countries.
Lots of potential questions here, but let's start with three:

- What makes you "better" than your competitors, perhaps especially those of your competitors with substantially deeper pockets than you ? (e.g. Apple Watch which also has "ECG" functionality).

- Building on the above, how's the prior art looking on the patents ?

- Finally, general cynicism on "home ECG".... clinical evaluation is 12 lead ECG. Can you really get away with substantially less input ? (Garbage In - Garbage Out).
Mobile developers can implement certificate pinning to prevent man in the middle snooping. Twitter's app does this.
As someone who has seen and driven their "pro" pilot competitor, I am not bothered by that. The non-beta competitors are often worse and sometimes more dangerous (sigh).

No, the bank has at risk the capital loaned, which they payed out. A risk is not a "loss" in a hypothetical amount of money that maybe could be had in the future given market conditions which are not predictable.
To me it literally just sounded like Spanish, but in a high pitched whistle. Some of the sounds don't reproduce 1:1 in a whistle, but the whistling is adapted to still sound similar and comprehensible. I thought I would be able to do this myself by whistling out Spanish words, but it appears that it takes some practice to make all of the correct sounds. I tried in English, Spanish and Hungarian and I'm only able to produce musical notes, not distinguishable letters.

Niche in that they only sell a hundred thousand or so a year, yes. If Waymo are planning to seriously scale up they'll be using every Jaguar they're making!
Waymo is already doing test rides with neither passengers no backup drivers in CA, so they wouldn't be jumping from no passengers plus safety drivers to paid passengers without safety drivers if they did offered paid, full-driverless rides.

I'm just merely repeating the conclusion of linked meta-analysis that found 14 RCT studies regarding ivermectin.

As for the studies you linked to. I am no expert at doing meta-analysis but it seems to me that many RCT studies listed there are really small, at least some were done in very remote places. Most of them have single digit number of participants with adverse outcomes. I'm not sure but I think none of them showed no effect which is a bit odd. I suspect that many studies of similar size and quality done globally were exucluded from this list. There might be some general bias against publishing studies that show no effect too.

All the RCTs on this page mentioned together have the same order of magnitude of number of participants as the most recent study that showed no effect that I mentioned. I think one large study done carefully is many times more convincing than tens of very small studies done in highly loaded political climate.

I see that authors of this website have reservations about Together study I linked to: https://c19ivermectin.com/togetherivm.html

This might indicate that studies on this site are to some degree cherry-picked by the authors so it's not so much meta-analysis of all RCT studies of Ivermectin, but rather meta-analysis of the Ivermectin studies someone likes.
You can't make a direct comparison between a global pandemic and a normal year for influenza. In future years there won't be as many opportunities for people to be infected with Covid, further reducing the risk.

I'm already bored to tears talking about this, though. The only point that I'm trying to make is that we have always accepted a certain level of mortal risk to people, including children. At some point, we are going to have to do that with Covid as well.
Are we talking about GNU Emacs then? There seem to be a few Emacs or Emacs-like editors in various state of completion / deterioration implemented in CL. Hemlock comes to mind and Climacs.
If apple paid 10 million for a 0 day exploit the people who create the exploits would be incentivized to tell apple instead of developing exploits for their employer. Apple could definitely be doing more with their infinite money.
Other manufacturers have been integrating collision avoidance and breaking assistants for years, even before Autopilot has been a thing. Tesla is not special.
I think ML is fantastic, and combined with LiDAR, inter-vehicle mesh networking, and geofenced areas where humans take over, we could quickly arrive at mostly automated driving without trying to reinvent the human brain. We should also be more focused on enforcing established legal limits to newly manufactured cars. Just preventing someone from exceeding the speed limit or driving the wrong way would start saving lives immediately. It would also allow traffic flow to be optimized, and eventually prioritize emergency traffic or allow metro areas to be evacuated efficiently for things like natural disasters.

It would be great to see the dawn of AGI, but I don't think it will ever happen with classical computation. GPT-3 spits out nonsense with the input of the largest and easiest to parse portion of reality, and I have not seen any ML approach replicate the abilities of something as simple as bacteria. ML requires constant validation from human operators, so the same is going to hold true for ML powered vehicle navigation.

I'm guessing this is common API design in the world of C libraries? Coming from Swift / other high-level languages, it seems awfully error-prone to have to call an API multiple times, sometimes with null arguments, sometimes with pointers to buffers that hopefully are the right size, just to process some data. Programmer errors / misinterpretation of the documentation leading to programmer errors seems inevitable.

Yes, that’s actually why tort reform is such a big topic in American jurisprudence. Because property owners are liable if a bunch of kids suffer injuries on their property by falling into a hole, almost regardless of intent. Yes even if it’s properly secured with fencing, in many jurisdictions the trespassers sue for damages and succeed often.

Even failing to shovel the snow and having someone trip and injure themselves is enough grounds for some sort of tort liability.

To a lesser extent it’s true in Canada and the UK too I believe.
