I'm honestly not sure. I assumed being marshland for millennia gave it significantly different soil than valleys in the area.
Yeah this is definitely most of it. Bad weather certainly doesn't help and can be a problem but people are the main issue.
I used to argue this. Then I watched multiple engineers under me and next to me ignore this argument in favor of focusing on distributed system design and clear communication. The results have persuaded me that I was wrong, and they were right.

In the end the most effective people around me are capable of designing a system and breaking it down effectively for other engineers to build. Most of them have no idea what things like Monads and Functors are, and they’re no less effective for it.

Depends on how you do it. If it’s E2E then according to this comment from March 2020 it goes through: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23110664
Apple system developers definitely deserve a lot of credit for optimising ios / macOS Big Sur for its ARM hardware platform. If we could run another OS on it, it would be evident that part of the performance boost of Apple's M1 ARM processor is definitely due to the optimised software it runs.

> End to end encryption has always meant transport encryption not encryption at rest.

Sure, but if someone in the middle wants to store, then they don’t have anything unencrypted to store. Ultimately it all depends what one defines the “ends” as. In general for backup, both ends are the user. For chat, the sender and recipient. Apple is not an end, but a provider in the middle.
I left a few comments below and consider myself a "snob" basically when it comes to coffee. I don't think that it does have to mean that you're exclusively only drinking expensive and well done coffee.

I still drink preground basic grocery store coffee every day and it's fine. Co. paring the two is like saying you want to taste fine and expensive wines and you'll never drink wine just to get drunk.

I'm actually not that often even in a mindset where I can make the most of my more expensive coffee and I drink the cheap stuff then.
Thanks, wonder why there was no final ruling yet.
Yeah, I'm not saying that people who come into money are investing geniuses, but you will lose your money pretty quickly if you type in how much money you have into Google and click the first link promising a get even richer scheme.

All good advice, but the delivery could maybe have been a bit nicer. I imagine that this article might be a bit off-putting to people who are not into coffee as a hobby, so to speak.
Yeah looking at the legs of pro cyclists and it’s clear they’re all doping. At this point idk why we don’t let pros dope and just accept it. Baseball went through this 20 years ago but was there another period as exciting as Bonds/Sosa/McGwire? We’ve had flashes of incredible players but doping made the game a more exciting game.
All these problems apply to anyone without a car anywhere. People in major cities with good transit systems figure it out, I don't see how this is any different. In fact, it's certainly preferable to a train/bike in terms of space to transport things.
As an employer I would prefer employees not to use the corporate network for personal email. The network exists for business use.

As an employee I prefer not to use the corporate network for truly personal email.

If I am the employer that responsibly monitors the traffic to and from our network, including TLS traffic, an employee that uses our network for personal use with a surveillance "tech" company service such as Google Mail, Facebook, etc. is putting her own privacy at risk. Because I can extract her cookies from the traffic, all she has to do is forget to log out once and I now have a "bearer token", i.e., a cookie, with no expiration,^1 that lets me access her account at any time in the future.

1 The type of cookie that lets users stay "logged in" indefinitely. A non-"tech" company with sufficient legitimate sources of revenue besides online ads may not use such cookies. For example, if an employee logs in to her personal bank account using the corporate network but forgets to log out, the bank website will log her out automatically, the cookies will expire.

Respectfully, I disagree and have flagged the comment accordingly.

I think my flag is appropriate because the comment contains blatant misinformation. While I tend to assume that the author is operating in good faith, I think they’re parroting misinformation that does not belong on HN.

Easy example: Trump’s Twitter ban was not “unsubstantiated”, it was clearly explained with direct examples [0]. I’m open to dissenting opinions on what action was appropriate, but the idea that the ban was “unsubstantiated” is unambiguously misinformation.

Zooming out, I’m happy to have HN host opinions that I strongly disagree with, but outright misinformation should not be allowed.

Yeah, true that.

With natural infection you get BOTH lymphocytic memory of the disease AND antibodies to the disease. With a vaccine you ONLY get the latter. And it's the lack of that balanced duality that creates the risk of ADE or Antibody Dependent Enhancement which is far more dangerous than getting the disease naturally.

“I got eighteen months,” Tezna told the group, glumly. “Definitely not the number I had in mind.” He was sitting beside a window covered by venetian blinds; he wore white earbuds and several days’ growth of beard.

Are you kidding me. 18 months (of which he will likely only serve 12 at a prison camp) for stealing $350k seems very lenient. He should have put it in bitcoin would have made $1.8 million or about 10 years at NASA. People have gotten longer sentences back in the 2000s for fraud on ebay. I would say he got very very lucky to only get 18 months for such blatant and large fraud. He could have easily been handed a decade or longer.

This thing that you just said. This statement that you just made. The choice of phrasing. Is very weasel. Very corporate newspeak.

It's got a kind of beauty.

Like when Ash, from Alien (1979), speaks admiringly : "You still don't understand what you're dealing with, do you? The perfect organism. Its structural perfection is matched only by its hostility...I admire its purity. A survivor...unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality."
Not everything is built for you in particular. That doesn't mean it's irrelevant. I don't care who you are, you aren't representative of the aggregate.
It's one thing to censor, but it's another to intentionally deceive your users into believing that they sent something.
Let us assume for the sake of argument that these questions have reasonable answers (different in detail for each such person), that the homeless people that live in such encampments do not have a viable alternative to 'living rough', and the best solution they were able to come up with (for whatever reasons) was pitching a tent in a public park.

What alternative are you going to offer them that doesn't present barriers they can't surmount?
Fine enough advice, except for the tap water comment, which I would think might lead some to distilled water (so it’s not “saturated with impurities”) - that’s not the way water and coffee work, and indeed, in a water-sensing machine (which likely depends on minerals in the water), not the way equipment works either. If one takes that comment to its logical conclusion, you’re going to have a (poorly flavoured) bad time.
> But in order for that to happen they'd have to be attached to something,

Only if you care about getting momentum right. If you push against a wall, feel pressure on your hand, and your viewpoint moves away from the wall, then (apart from the motion sickness) that's a pretty good wall simulator.

We need a socially acceptable mode of habitation which is less expensive than renting a room. Tents seem like the obvious and established answer.

What I had in mind is that we need to solve those accompanying problems in order to make living in tents socially acceptable.

Tents show up on public areas and sidewalks because there are no better established places for them.

Trash accumulates around tents because there is no established garbage collection procedure like there is for buildings.

Maybe the solution is some kind of campground with a low fee.

I tried it during the election and it didn't work. Have uninstalled it since then so don't know if things have changed.
I've given it a bit of thought in the past, and my working conclusion is that people don't care about things unless they're sensationalized.

In a world where information is reaching maximum saturation, anyone with internet access has to learn how to separate themselves from the internet to some degree. This learned separation is the enemy of habit, and therefore the mutual enemy of people who make a living off of clicks/views/impressions. To get past that, you need to start using words that pry past our filter of mediocrity and go straight to the brain, or introducing topics that pique our curiosity. No longer is that tacit curiosity enough to make people sit through something, so in comes the buzzwords, exciting rhetoric and loud voices. Internet profiteering is about filing away everything superfluous, and focusing on being the loudest (or at the very least, most listened-to) one in the room.

Well that was just an example. Of course they would not actually censor `joebiden.info`. Not on your life! They would censor other stuff, pertaining to other political leanings, and other scientific-medical subjects... You know, the badthink.
It needs to be reiterated because many people missed examples like this in the past. Every new user needs to be made aware of what is really going on, and what Facebook thinks of them as.

Looks like the author is 're-functionalising' (as opposed to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defunctionalization ).

Defunctionalised programs pass around a simple data type, which is branched on in various places to implement different behaviours. Re-functionalised programs pass around different behaviours (as functions, or objects if you insist) which are called in various places.

Neither form is strictly better than the other; it depends on the problem we're trying to solve.
Interesting, but the price is a bit too high for what it is IMO. You can get a pinewatch or M5stick for much less. For me the appeal of such boards is that they cost negligible money so you can use them everywhere.

I know they're not the same this and have some different specs, but they are in the same class. This is not something I'd buy as easily.

However I hope it does well, after all scaling up will bring prices down.
Probably not a popular opinion... I first heard him read this shortly after it came out, and at first I thought it was great, but the second time I heard it, it fell apart. This fell flat for me considering it was a commencement speech. It reads like it was written by a sad lonely man, for other sad lonely men. He was speaking to a huge auditorium full of parents and children, and he wrote something for himself. He couldn't imagine a world where there was more than his life, outside his water. The world of every parent in that room. I've always felt like he made his point in ways he never meant to.

If it's based on PCR, it has zero accuracy. It tests positive for flu as much as ANY OTHER coronavirus such as the common cold. It's 100% junk. And CDC knows this because that's why they have an RFP to replace it and the RFP specifically says the above - that it's no good.

If we are going with differentiating "all causes" then surely this should be done with infections as well? I don't have numbers on hand but the last CDC report I saw (March 2020 to 2021 I think it was) had only 740 deaths "from [Delta variant of] COVID-19" compared to a few hundred thousand of "all causes" (with COVID). Granted even if those numbers are accurately relayed by my memory (and I doubt they are) the Delta stuff didn't take off until much later, but I'm kinda just making a point here. What that point is I dunno, but I'd just like more apples to apples comparisons in these discussions.

> If Apple wanted to lock them down there would not have been a better moment then with the M1. ... But they obviously decided not do to that.

That's a laugh - what other OS can you run on the M1 today apart from macOS? It is as good as locked down already!

Apple understands very well that this is a very lacking feature of the M1, and that is why Apple is very cleverly using those reverse engineering effort as part of its online marketing to mislead some into beliveing that Linux or xBSD OSes will be available on the M1 in the very near future. The sad reality is that even if the reverse engineering is successful all you are going to get are buggy versions of other OSes, with features missing, which will make you regret purchasing the M1 if you hoped to run other OSes on it.
