Any idea if mobile support is coming? That’s starting to feel table stakes as time goes on I think, even more important than desktop which can always fall back to web
Its a fair point, and as I was saying in another response consider the "App Store" model where this new content is given to the internal team to review before releasing it. Clearly something that unbalanced the game like this would be rejected.
How traditionally are we talking? Traditionally, many genres of games haven't had progression for someone to have the most of. That guy who played a billion hours of Quake, or Halo 3, or Starcraft 2 doesn't have anything you don't have. Hell even the likes of League of Legends, it doesn't take that much IP to buy any one champion the free way, and you can't buy power for that champion. I guess you could say you're paying to win by buying the strongest champion in that patch with cash each time, but honestly if you really have that little play time you're probably hurting your performance more than helping it by champion hopping that much.

I’m only an enthusiast, but my understanding is that it’s the black hole’s rotation that causes poles in 3D. The visible accretion disc, I believe lies in the plane in which the black hole rotates.

I was wondering about the legality, since this seems to me to be bald-faced fraud and part of a consistent pattern at WD and other manufacturers. I guess the sticking point is proving that they deliberately used faster components in earlier units to get good reviews?

I'm sure they've been very careful to keep their conversations on this matter off the record. If only we had a government more interested in protecting its people from corporate malfeasance.
> Why wouldn’t we defend Taiwan?

It would cost American lives. We're war weary--I don't think we've fought a legitimate war in generations. That takes a lot to get over. It's, ironically, similar to the situation that led to European appeasement the last time this happened.

"Not-hurricane" season extends from November through May, and potentially into June, in terms of low likelihoods of storms. As others note, Louisiana winters are exceptionally mild, and are generally preferable to summers for outdoor activity.

Late August / early September, by marked contrast, is peak hurricane season.
> …flashy new generation of young outlaws…

I know i’m fighting a loosing battle but outlaw is not just an interestring sounding synonym for criminal. Being an outlaw means that the state has declared you to be outside of the protection of the law. Have you seen the movie The Purge? Like that, but only affecting you. Anyone, the police, your grandma, other criminals, that guy on the street can just knock your head in and they won’t even get a scolding. Being declared an outlaw is a terrible fate, and naturally no modern state practices it.
Off-topic but does anyone have a mechanism by which Ivermectin would be helpful with Coronavirus? It seems bizarre that an anti-parasite medicine targeting a eukaryote would have any efficacy against a virus.
Another one for the list is `--start-at-task` and `--list-tasks`, for those tasks that are statically imported. If you have a task bomb out, you can take over from where you left off. Doesn't work in all playbooks, if facts need to be set earlier, but it's still very useful and saves tons of time. Obvious, but I wish I knew that one earlier too.
People need to learn to be grateful that they can buy anything right now. Sure, in normal times it would be an issue but things are different now. The swapping of these controllers is the difference between shipping and not shipping a product. Would you rather wait 6 mo or 1 year for an SSD? That is where we are at now and things won't be getting any better in the next year. Sure, maybe they should have added a sticker or SKU change, but that would result in further delays and shortages.

As it says: unarmed.

Your job as an unarmed guard is to complement the alarm system with your eyes and ears, and if something is amiss, press the alarm button and get out of there. Which is what they did.

The article makes it sound like security was tight, but the museum was, according to news articles at the time, too stingy. If they had wanted to spend the money, they could have had armed guards, physical barriers other than simple glass cases and reinforced outer walls. But they were even too stingy for an insurance, and the insurer might have told them to up their security before taking the contract.

A little while ago I accidentally bought a couple SMR drives, despite knowing about the whole shitshow, despite checking the SNs, by mentally transposing one character at the end of a long SN. It's totally intentional and they can eat shit for it. I guess it was my just desserts for continuing to buy from them at all, though it's not like we're drowning in alternatives.
If 10% or 20% weren't following the rules, it'd probably be fine.

However, because COVID in the US is a political thing, it's easily 30%+ of americans that aren't "following the rules". In my state of Idaho, there were rallies to get together and burn masks. [1]

Have you ever heard of mask burning rallies in either Japan or Australia?

It's not political in most nations. This is primarily a US problem.

Anecdotally, at the height of COVID compliance in Idaho I never saw > 50% masking participation.

Meanwhile, moderators at "rubber ducks floating in sinks enthusiasts" and "small cats with big katanas enthusiasts" and ... etc. have declared themselves guardian of some endangered truth.

Having spent millennia trying to get better discrimination, including intellectual, there seems to be now answers where earlier we had doubts: everything is easy, truth is clear, and the qualifications required to see it with solid grounds are apparently negligible. Big /S

And especially, what have rubber ducks cats and katanas have to do with medicine and virology etc.

Socrates should be back to show an unexpectedly large part of humanity "Are you really sure?". Critical thinking should come with basic education.

--

Edit: it seems as if a new club like "Private citizens with responsibilities [billboards] but different responsibilities [even cats] for the defence of responsible truth" has formed - this is the idea.

And I find it appalling that there seems to be an assumption with that «responsible truth»: the idea, even explicit in some cases, that doubt is dangerous for society. (And what is the cost of the opposite?) With the sibling idea that people must be protected, and they must be protected from exposure to complexity, and ultimately sheltered because incapable of rational thinking (real position expressed almost literally by involved parties). (They are supposed to be scholarized, exclamation mark.)

That's what the fancier __init__() at the end of the article[1] is for :)

Here's the tl;dr of a real-world example[2]:

query = Query().SELECT(...).WHERE(...)
for subtags in tags:
tag_query = BaseQuery({'(': [], ')': ['']}, {'(': 'OR'})
tag_add = partial(tag_query.add, '(')
for subtag in subtags:
tag_add(subtag)
query.WHERE(str(tag_query))

It can be shortened by making a special subclass, but I only needed this once or twice so I didn't bother yet:

for subtags in tags:
tag_query = QList('OR')
for subtag in subtags:
tag_query.append(subtag)
query.WHERE(str(tag_query))

Pay-to-win games give people who work good jobs a way to compete: If I know that an item it'll take me three weeks to grind out will cost me $20 to buy outright... I make more money working in real life, so why not buy it in-game instead of wasting my time grinding.

That's exactly why I hate most IAPs: developers intentionally make parts of the game annoying so you'll be tempted to pay to skip them.
Comcast's entire core network is pure IPv6. Every cable box, cable modem, everything is connected and managed using IPv6 addressing.

None of it is IPv4.

T-Mobile's core network is entirely IPv6, IPv4 lives on the edge only.

Facebook's entire internal network is IPv6, they have IPv4 edges that translate to IPv6 internally so that it is routed as if it were IPv6 and all services see IPv6 only.

Sorry, but your "adoption is low" is very VERY wrong and IPv6 has already solved a lot of problems, for example the "we are out RFC1918 space, and adding more NAT is not the solution".

That last part is literally why Comcast moved to an IPv6 core.
This kind of thinking won't help you. There are three HDD vendors (and not many more SSD vendors) and they've all screwed their customers multiple times.
There's another conspiracy theory about the most influential powermod for over a decade, /u/maxwellhill. The account was a mod of some of the largest subreddits out there, and regularly made posts that hit the front page. The account went completely silent on June 30, 2020, just two days before the arrest of Ghislaine Maxwell.

Adding to the coincidences (account name match, date ghosted match), Ghislaine attended the Conde Naste christmas party, as reported by then-Reddit CEO Pao (https://nypost.com/2020/07/08/ex-reddit-ceo-ellen-pao-knew-g...).

Quite interesting. Never any explanation from anyone about why this most influential mod just disappeared.
Healthy foods (e.g. fresh fruit and vegetables) being more expensive than unhealthy ones (e.g. McDonald's) is one of the structural incentives causing increased obesity in the US. In most countries - including Europe - it's the opposite way around. You're quite right to say that people should take care of their own health, but if you live in a place where cycle lanes will get you everywhere you need to go, there are plentiful public green spaces and healthy food is cheap and available everywhere (as I do in Germany), then staying healthy is a lot easier than if you live in, say, the suburbs of Houston.

Is the misalignment _necessary_? I always thought the hole got its rotation from the infalling matter.
Pretty much every web app I've written has had some sort of search feature with a table of results, where the user can filter on multiple columns of the search. That requires either:

a. Dynamically adding "and SomeColumn like @someValue" to the where clause of the query

or

b. Having the query include all filters but ignore them when they are left blank, such as

`where @someValue is null or SomeColumn like @someValue`

The latter approach does allow you get by without string-building queries for filtering, but tends to perform worse if you have a lot of columns you might filter on.

And you still have to play the string concatenation game if you let the user click column headers to change the ORDER BY.

With a decent ORM, like Entity Framework for C#, any of this is very simple and there is no need to write SQL string manipulation code in your application. But under the covers that is what is happening.

I disagree - I think it's a matter of perspective. Many people see the task of getting in shape as some herculean effort requiring inhuman willpower, subconsciously setting themselves up for failure.

It's much easier to do something you have to do. Much harder to do something that isn't required of you.

Ask HN: Should I cancel my interview?
I have an interview with a company where I would very much like to work. I was planning on taking a month or two to prepare (while having a full time job), but a recruiter happened to contact me before I started prep. I scheduled the interview out two weeks, but I do not feel well prepared. There are algorithms and design sessions during this interview.

If I pass the interview, I feel it will be by sheer luck. (getting problems I'm familiar with)

This is a medium to large sized start-up.

If I go through with the interview and do poorly, I have no way of knowing when or if I would be given the chance again.

I don't believe another week of prep would have me in a much better position, so postponing probably wouldn't help that much.

If I cancel the interview entirely, I'm not sure how that will come across and if I will be able to try again at another point.

Today is Friday, the interview is this coming Tuesday.

Long time lurker. Happy to receive feedback from the community.
Imagine if we had accepted the Taliban's surrender in 2002. Imagine if we had stayed out of Iraq and instead invested the money in reducing our dependence on Mideast oil by developing renewable energy and domestic production. Imagine if we had recognized that the Saudis had played a big role in the planning of 9/11 and broken off our alliance with one of the most oppressive theocracies on the planet.
If the black hole is not spinning, it should look the same from every angle. A spinning black hole is deformed (like the spinning Earth.)

Anyway, we are not seeing the black hole (because it looks just like a black circle in front of a black background). The interesting part of the image is a disk of material spinning around it. There is a nice 3d cardboard simulation and clear explanation in a video by Veritasium https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUyH3XhpLTo
Absolutely.

Human sight reduces all visible light down to the three red/green/blue buckets. Other species will have different buckets, and can easily see colors we perceive as identical as completely different.

I believe we have better color vision that most animals though, so the opposite is usually the case.

'quarantine' comes from Italian 'quarantina': ‘forty days’. It's not 'persempre'. By its very name it implies a time limited action.

Link 3 does not support your point: 'The term “quarantine” refers to the separation and restriction of movement of non-sick persons to see if they become sick.'. There is no blanket support for indefinite restriction of rights.

Furthermore, the 'line' is muddy. Vaccines are only 66% effective against delta. This means that 33% of vaccinated people are, under your definition, walking public health risks that may catch covid and start shedding virus in the population. Thus we should also indefinitely quarantine vaccinated people.

Again, competition law does not focus on the existence of competitors (true monopolies exist only in high school microeconomics).

If a company has durable (even if not a literal monopoly) market power due to its anticompetitive behavior and exclusionary conduct, that is grounds for taking antitrust action.

It's hard to switch to a different smartphone, due to anticompetitive actions taken by Apple such as their app store monopoly and making it harder to distribute web apps - switching to Android means losing all the apps you've purchased.

It is a lot easier to switch to a different brand of kerosene fuel, so antitrust action against Apple is justified despite them having a lower market share than Standard Oil did.

I'd suggest reading a textbook on US antitrust law and the court decisions that have led us to where we are, because this is a large topic that goes well beyond market share.

It's an interesting concept. When your body makes antibodies against an active infection, it targets more than just the spike protein. Against the vaccine, it targets the spike protein 100% because that's all it has. As variants come and go, you should expect that the spike protein will change -- but it can't change that much because changing too much will reduce its ability to infect cells -- so it's a good thing to have a wide variety of antibodies against. However, having antibodies against other parts of the virus is useful too, since those might be more conserved with variants, but also they could be conserved less -- we don't really know.
> a. Take the vaccine and be naked when the vaccine resistant variant eventually emerges.

First, this is deeply deeply misleading, to the point of being misinformation. The idea that a version of COVID will pop out that renders the current vaccines completely useless is founded in nothing but alarmist speculation. Could it happen? Maybe. But we have a virus now that's known to be dangerous, for which we have a vaccine that's very effective. To not take that vaccine, now, based on this speculative fear is completely nonsensical.

Second, it's a false dichotomy:

c. Take the vaccine, get a mild breakthrough case of covid later that builds even stronger protection.
What a load of tosh. Getting kicked out of Vietnam was far more harmful and humiliating than Afghanistan. It's not exactly a great moment in American history but in terms of actual power and influence in the world Afghanistan is irrelevant. Losing those conflicts has, and will, have no real long term consequences for the US. Geopolitically they were both distractions.

I feel bad about that in the case of Afghanistan, we sold those people out. Allowing the return of the Taliban is a disgraceful dereliction of duty that will have dire consequences for many Afghans, but it won't make any difference whatever to America. I suppose it might 'embolden their enemies' or something nebulous like that.

No question in my mind as well - but stories and drama around apple get traction because apple is so successful and gets things right over and over.

In my non HN friend world - this is a non-event. Users did not expect apple to protect child porn people, so apple not protecting them is a "meh".

On HN the world has ended, apple has destroyed trust, is worse than facebook, has destroyed brand, is committing felonies. etc.

It would be WWIII whether the US defends it or not. Because it gives China free reign to invade other areas, such as the disputed South China Sea. This will lead to conflict with Vietnam and the Phillipines. The dominoes will continue to fall until the US intervenes eventually to protect de facto NATO countries Australia and New Zealand.
