Conspiracy theories, taken generally, seem to very clearly be an expression of the collective unconscious. Not in the full-on woo-woo way, just "collective unconscious" in the sense of a large population considering a problem or situation instinctively, rather than explicitly and rationally. As such, you usually don't want to take them at face value, but it's also a mistake to discard them completely. They often point to something very real that is going on under the surface. The hard part, like any expression of the subconscious, is trying to separate signal from noise, but there IS a signal there. If there wasn't, the "conspiracy theory" would never catch on.

All that said:

"The plan from which the Great Reset originated was called the Global Redesign Initiative. Drafted by the WEF after the 2008 economic crisis, the initiative contains a 600-page report on transforming global governance. In the WEF’s vision, 'the government voice would be one among many, without always being the final arbiter.'"

I'd say the "Conspiracy Theorists" are pretty on the money here. It's literally an attempt to take power away from existing governments and deliver it to a cabal of multinational corporations, which is, in effect, the "One World Government" the Theorists love to crow about. And never forget, they've been trying to do this, in some form or another, since at least the 30s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_Plot
Please note: most (±95%) of the U.S. money supply is not created by the Federal Reserve, but by the U.S. commercial banks as deposits when they make loans. [1] Alternatively you can read the Bank of England report on Money creation. [2] It's about the British economy but goes into further detail and the monetary principles are the same in every modern country.

I would argue that opening up is unrealistic.

How are things going to pan out, when we apply selection pressure to the virus, while letting the virus sieve through the whole human population, creating dangerous variants due to our leaky vaccines? [1]

I would have had agreed with you if we had a sterilizing vaccine that would help us to reach herd immunity. But we don't.

Those travels which cannot afford 14 days quarantines, are non-essential travels. We fortunately have internet and the possibility to do remote meetings.

The only thing missing is tourism, though. That's sad, but better travel locally than killing people.

Foreign power is foreign. The affairs is internal. Ultimately it has to be decided for people on the ground. Unless you colonise it replacing the beings to be yours as one country did and do, I suspect even Pak or whoever will fail.
The typical "Looking for a challenging position juggling chainsaws in a hard-driving..." OK I exaggerate but I never liked anything along those lines. I was usually pretty fluid about what I was looking for and mostly stuck it in a cover letter or was having a conversation with someone I knew anyway.

From what I've research the best way to improve your skin quality is from the cells out; surface creams are just treating the top most layer of your skin and feel nice but don't generally do all that much.

If you want to improve your skin from the cells out you can take something like this, which is what I take(Collagen Powder Protein):

This comment is a wonderful template to consider. In my personal context, this would be about leaving a certain very-American religion and being the more-or-less first to take plunge: you really wanna share your "greater truth" and help those close to you unburden themselves by letting go of something so obviously false.

You really can't "red pill" people, and the closer they are to you the lower the chances of success.

You can, however, ask (non leading) questions and listen. If you can't start by being curious, don't expect them to make that leap first... and thats really where you have to start before you can change your mind.
>Back on the harms side again, there's a possibility that teaching kids "just do this and don't ask questions" can have negative consequences.

Don't worry. The schools teach that with or without masks.
This isn't the first time Google ditched its single sign on system. Remember Allo? If I had to guess, this disaster had the same root cause. Somebody looked at how WhatsApp (or in this case, Paytm) took off in India by using the phone number as ID and decided the way to get more users was to copy that aspect of it, skipping any migration plan to get to market quicker. This alienates all the existing users of Hangouts or old Google Pay in currently high value markets, and nobody at the company cares enough to stop it.
If you’re splitting hairs on domestic vs international redeemability for gold you’re technically correct but the person you’re replying to is more generally correct - the discussion of the Bretton Woods agreement in that wiki article is important.
China's dominance in manufacturing comes from speed and agility. Cheap cost of labor is a distant third benefit of manufacturing in China.
That's probably more to prevent data exfiltration. If you don't want random drivers being downloaded you can more reliably prevent it using group policy.
> There is a lot of interaction between the various systems in a human body.

Yes, the interactions are the interesting bit. Perhaps we can figure out the biological pathways at the cellular level by taking a systematic approach of turning genes on/off and turning their expression on/off, then looking at the expression of other genes. This is exactly what could be done by robots.

> You can do much of that maintenance yourself if you're a nerd

I’m finding this to less true these days. As bikes become more ‘integrated’ with components specific to the model they’re becoming harder to fix. It’s particularly bad with aero bikes that have aero handlebars, weird stems and internal routing.

Even if you’re a bike nerd, what you know won’t really apply on another bike anymore.

My Glorious Model D and Model O mice works perfectly fine with the normal HID driver. I suppose there's an app for RGB control and changing the DPI settings but the defaults are fine for me. It doesn't attempt to download anything when I plug it in.

Thanks for sharing these obscure facts with us, man. I guess it does not harm. At the very least you made a lot of people giggle

Finally somewhat on topic: I really thought they had a chance when armadillo won that NASA moonlander prize.
This echoes a lot of my feelings about bike lanes, do you have any references to traffic studies or the like showing that these kinds of lanes are, indeed, more dangerous?

I'd be especially curious to know what the good alternatives are.

IIRC physical dividers like reflector poles actually do make bike lanes safer, and sharrows are mixed on whether or not they make lanes more effective.
I ditched firebase cloud functions for Next's /api/ functions. I put all the db stuff and checkout and webhook stuff behind those endpoints. At first I just loaded the entire firestore library on the client and did authenticated reads/writes directly... But I wouldn't do that again, made my app too heavily intertwined with firestore's api.
Thanks for sharing. I feel exactly the same (just replace MongoDB by K8s and I could have written your post).
A few years ago many of the captchas on t-mobile’s site had a massive security flaw (no idea if this is still the case). You could request the captcha image multiple times (using the image url) and each time the captcha would be differently generated on demand while still having the same letters/numbers. This meant you could just request the captcha a few times, put each image through an ocr reader, and see what the captcha was most commonly read as (the correct answer almost every time).

I was astonished to find that a multi-billion dollar company had such a massive flaw in their captcha system. That being said these kind of errors are really far too common.
IIR, Carmack spent a lot of his own money on Armadillo Aerospace and most of the people who worked on it were volunteers. They had many ideas including custom designed rocket engines and self contained composable pieces that could be built into large systems.

It was very up Musk's "first principles" alley, but wildly underestimated the capital needed to be successful.

Porn sites used to be the worst offenders with popups etc, ironically they are MUCH better than most newspapers now. No wonder people are watching more porn.
The US image as the "brave" superpower has been heavily exposed. The US despite having the latest tech hardware and all these images of muscle pumped up soldiers in Hollywood movies were seen as fleeing the battlefield. It took the US 20 years to push Taliban to outer cities and the Taliban took 20 days to come back. It shows for me, the US is not a superpower when it comes to warfare, as we saw in Vietnam too. They are good when it comes to aerial combat where they do not engage on ground level but they are not trained or built for guerrilla warfare which many Asian countries employ. They would lost in most terrains like this.
In an alternate future, the Taliban are fighting against mechs now. Or they'd have requisitioned an abandoned one and we'd be having a mech battle.

Sadly the reality is pretty depressing
Nope. The week before, in fact.

I know a lot of things can ding your immune system enough to allow zoster to make an opportunistic comeback. In my case i blame a lack sleep + stress from having an infant.
The bike shop can't compete on price with the biggest online retailers/Amazon. I have my doubts about a tube costing $35. $10 or $15 rather than the $5 you'd get online, but I have been to a lot of bike shops and that 10x markup doesn't comport with anything I've seen. Perhaps the $35 also includes the labor? (Also, it's an inner tube - it's a cheap commodity product, who cares if it's a Chinese no-name brand?)

Bike shops need to charge for labor because most people don't buy bikes from bike shops anymore, so labor is where they make their money. $100/hr for labor is on the higher end but doesn't seem crazy in expensive locations. Not to mention that the prevailing way people treat bike shops (as places you can walk in at any time, get your bike fixed, and walk out) is incredibly antithetical to bike mechanics actually being able to take the uninterrupted time to focus and do good work.
Tempted, perhaps, but not enough to join. Carmack's working on AGI, and he's committed to a decade-long time horizon.

The impact of AGI is far greater than rockets, too.
And I believe its exploitive of everyone in the supply chain, from manufacturers to delivery drivers, and has led to the vast centralization of an overwhelmingly large portion of our economy into the hands of corporation with no accountability.

Furthermore I am very convinced it makes the lives of everyone, except the tiny minority that are actively exploiting everyone else, much worse. Good jobs are lost, supply chains are made fragile, and monopolistic tendencies are encouraged. I would rather the inconvenience of shopping around than encourage a world with a private entity as the sole source of all consumer goods.
Agreed. Bike shop business models are problematic and it's worth shopping around. My local shops sell a lot of stuff at reasonable prices and we have 4 shops in walking distance of each other so there's some competition but at times it feels like being ripped off. And it feels worse being ripped off by your neighbor somehow. When that happens I don't feel bad about getting stuff from nashbar or similar.

Pedals are a good example, ridiculously overpriced at the shops. Luckily we have a non-profit called "The Bike Collective" that strips donated bikes and sells parts super cheap, they also help with repairs.
I am also on PhotoLab and have been very happy with it, the killer features for me are the spot removal tool and the perpetual license model. Darktable would have been able to satisfy both of those features, but when I tried it years ago, I had to go back to the menu to select the tool for each spot I wanted to remove and it was just not workable. Darktable had many interface annoyances of this sort and I am not sure if it has improved since.
China refused to let the WHO in and do actual investigative work. Instead they took China's word for it and repeated whatever they said as fact. China covered up the spread of the disease and instead tried to hide it. The fact that the WHO doesn't recognize Taiwan (like there is no such place) and refused to act on information they had saying there was problems in Wuhan because China won't let them.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/04/17/trumps-fa...

>That same day, the Taiwan Centers for Disease Control said it sent an email to the WHO regarding rumors of at least “seven cases of atypical pneumonia,” which it said is code in China for “a disease transmitted between humans caused by coronavirus.”

Taiwan is not a member of the WHO, and the WHO says the email never mentioned human-to-human transmission. “Public health professionals could discern from this wording that there was a real possibility of human-to-human transmission of the disease,” the Taiwan CDC argues. “However, because at the time there were as yet no cases of the disease in Taiwan, we could not state directly and conclusively that there had been human-to-human transmission.”

Apparently, Taiwanese officials had been alerted to Dec. 30 posts in a chat room by a doctor, Li Wenliang, in which he said that seven cases he had been treating resembled severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, a deadly form of coronavirus. Li was reprimanded by the Chinese government for illegally spreading rumors. He later died of covid-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.

This is extremely myopic. The entire point of cycling-as-transit, is that, as an investment, it's by far the most inexpensive alternative. If you're under the assumption that you'll already have a car, or free access to transit, or live on campus, then I see your argument. However, cycling as an alternative to these things is wildly, wildly inexpensive, even factoring in bikes that cost thousands of dollars.

The cost of luxuriously maintaining a bicycle is about $100-$200 annually. The cost of maintaining an automobile is about $8000 annually, it's just that the costs are broken up into micropayments on things like fuel or hiding in the depreciation.
I submit that a preferred course may be granting people the liberty to decide for themselves.
Yeah, thanks for being receptive to my feedback! FWIW I would not personally install your desktop app without further understanding of these other areas.

However, if the adjustments you describe could sufficiently allay my concerns and make the proper guarantees then I would be interested in such a product potentially.

As it stands I feel without said information there's just too much risk and uncertainty both as a private individual and employee to use this app.
I don't agree. Most of the questions you are asking are narrowly pedantic, and you're essentially trying to judge your own case. At this point you have 51 comments out of 341, almost 15% of the thread and most of them trying to disqualify the opinions of others, often using rhetorical fallacies - whether you are aware of this or not.

You might find it helpful to re-read the HN guidelines about comments, and not approach every interaction with the strictness of an automatic parser. I will not be replying to further comments in this thread.

"The HTML structure may change over time..."

A very common argument in HN comments that discuss the merits of so-called web APIs.

Fair balance:

Web APIs can change (e.g., v1 -> v2), they can be discontinued, their terms of use can change, quotas can be enforced, etc.

A public web page does not suffer from those drawbacks. Changes that require me to rewrite scripts are generally infrequent. What happens more often is websites that provide good data/information sources simply go offline.

There is nothing wrong with web APIs per se, I welcome them (I use the same custom HTTP generator and TCP/TLS clients for both), but the way "APIs" are presented, as some sort of "special privilege", requiring "sign up", an email address and often more personal information, maybe even payment, is for the user, cf. developer, inferior to a public webpage, IMHO. As a user, not a developer, HTTP pipelining works for me better than many web APIs. I can get large quantities of data/information in one or a small number of TCP connections (I never have to use use proxies nor do I ever get banned); it requires no disclosure of personal details and is not subject to arbitrary limits.

What's interesting about this Wikidata/Wikipedia case is that the term chosen was "user" not "developer". It appears we cannot assume that the only persons who will use this "API" are ones who intend to insert the retrieved data/information into some other webpage or "app" that probably contains advertising and/or tracking. It is for everyone, not just "developers".

I'm talking like 2012-2015ish here. I was never asked for it specifically, or asked why it was not on my resume. A few big companies asked for my transcript, but that's all. I don't even know if they looked at it.

I had about a 3.5, so nothing to write home about. Got offers from a few big tech companies.

I really think they didn't care, unless my barely 3.5 GPA just made the cutoff when they looked at my transcripts.
On-board pilot/observer? Or remote, like a military drone operator?

If you build the infrastructure for the latter, one operator could likely manage multiple craft.

That said, what does either type of pilot do, if the vehicle misbehaves? What's the abort protocol, esp. over populated areas? Given a 600-lb payload, self-destruct is not an appealing way to exit.
They forgot search ads!

Working with Tesla on AI actually sounds more like what he's been working on recently... at least if he can convince them to give him a lot of flexibility on what exactly he works on.
Based on the error bars I've seen, you should be closer to 40% sure. Or less.

Maybe on the next mutation I'll have cause to agree with you. For now, herd immunity is still an endgame worth pursuing.
Since darktable introduced the scene referred workflow I would argue it's an extremely steep learning curve for anyone coming from display referred software (Lightroom, Capture One etc).

Scene referred is very much a cine-thing and I know of no other still image software that uses it. dt v3.6 made scene referred default.

Aurélien has been one of the driving forces behind the switch to scene referred and his hour long explanations of the new modules can be found on his YouTube channel[1]. Boris has a YouTube channel[2] which is quite the opposite. You watch him edit in silence and you will pick up the craft.

darktable is made up of modules. The Filmic RGB module takes a central part of the editing workflow in scene referred. This is where to go if you need help getting started: https://discuss.pixls.us/t/lets-learn-filmic-rgb-your-one-st...

RawTherapee has a more traditional, display referred, approach. If you want local adjustments (which you will want), you need to use nightlies until 5.9 is released.

I thought the popup with Changes you made may not be saved. when hitting the back button was a nice tough. All of this is 100% true. I rarely make it all the way through the soft content barriers sites that really do this. I agree with others, this works too well and isn't nearly as bad as the real thing.
the 60% figure is referring to the clearance rate, which is just the ratio of charges filed to crimes reported. so if by "solve" you mean "someone gets convicted", the rate is quite a bit lower.

IIRC when AVX-512 first launched on consumer CPUs, it had serious thermal issues: even though AVX-512 let you do more work per cycle, it generated so much heat that the processors downclocked and you lost most of the performance benefit. Assuming this was actually a real issue and not just some clickbait I saw, had it been mitigated in newer Intel CPUs? Or is that part of the reason they're deemphasizing it?
I had a great trip with friends to western USA some years back, including LA where I loved a lot of things.
