I'm with you, I wish we did. Unfortunately, the reservoirs say otherwise.
That's still the norm! You're supposed to use the upstream tarball if one exists, and all of the tooling expects a tarball of some sort.

In fact there's an active discussion right now on debian-devel about maybe changing the norms to prefer VCS archives to upstream release tarballs (and rerunning any of the code generation steps like autoconf as part of the Debian build): https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2021/08/msg00133.html

... Also, the tooling not only expects a tarball, it expects every tarball with the same name to be bit-identical. So if foo 1.0 is already in Debian, you'd better not generate a slightly different foo-1.0.orig.tar.gz when you do a packaging update but you're still packaging version 1.0 of the upstream sources. In 2007 a tool called "pristine-tar" showed up to allow you to compute just enough information to regenerate the actual foo-1.0.orig.tar.gz from the foo 1.0 VCS tag and commit that delta onto a separate VCS branch. It's a pretty crucial but extremely finicky part of most workflows involving maintaining Debian packages via a VCS. And then it turns out that the author of pristine-tar actually was somewhat trying to "point out absurdities in the way things are done" (https://joeyh.name/blog/entry/twenty_years_of_free_software_...) and people just happily adopted the tool and made things more absurd.

I agree with you that freedom of speech is a fairly important individual right. If you look at the reasoning behind its status it's probably because it's one of the early forms of power an individual could wield, much like how treasured gun rights are in America as well. It goes hand in hand with a free press.

That's certainly something the Chinese people deserve to have, but it's also not our fight, especially if the people of China are less interested in it than foreign spectators seem to be. Since their economy and standard of living is rising and more or less doing fairly well, it raises questions of motivations when we really want them to do something for them under the guise of for us. If we value our democracy or freedom of speech and press more than the average Chinese citizen does, then something is probably up... and something is in fact up, because wars are usually fought under the pretense of righteousness. But in reality almost all wars are fought in the interest of self-preservation and self-interest. US foreign policy is pretty much bound to be purely in the interest of its citizens much like how a corporation is bound to make a profit. If we actually promote free speech and democracy, it'll be due to self-interest, because for the simple reason that a politician can't really justify that they did something for the good of other non-constituents and hope to be re-elected.

Free speech is a great ideal, but it's also a tool used by the enemy for disinformation, destabilization, and defamation. This is similar to how encryption is great, but also empowers criminals just as it empowers resistance to tyranny. Some peoples will choose to have less free speech for more stability, and that is their choice. If the EU started fervently advocating for more consumer privacy protections in the US when we actual Americans don't care about it too much, we'd probably raise an eyebrow too on their actual motivations on matters of domestic concern.

Personally, from a righteousness point of view, if we really wanted to help people we'd take them into our borders and integrate them into productive members of our own society. Anything else is illegitimate. If we truly believe China is going the wrong way then we should take in their citizens who agree with us, and give them the opportunity to shine here. Humans are a resource, not a liability. If we can't take them in, then it's also not our place to tell them how to go about their lives. If we really want people to adopt our values, we should integrate them. And for the most part the US does a pretty good job of this as we're probably one of the most multi-cultural societies on this planet.
Agreed, I have nothing to hide & love dogs.
So if Google decides to provide services to the firm of Orwell, Godwin, and Marx, to help correct certain ungood thought related to our conflict with EastAsia (who we have always been at war with!) the employees had better just sit down and shut up?
This is a baseless conspiracy theory, usually peddled by those who stand to gain from high housing prices. "Oh no, high housing prices aren't caused by the fact that we don't allow anything new to be built, it's those nefarious foreigners".

It's easy to see how it doesn't add up. Why would some wealthy foreign investor want to buy a house and then lose a bunch of money by not renting it out?
Any Californians here?

I wonder if any current or future President might revisit the idea of granting Snowden a pardon. He is is still viewed unfavorably by a fair amount of the US population, but it seems like that's changing with time.
You misread the study. It does not contradict any study that I am aware of and agrees with the study that this discussion is attached to in particular.

The CDC study you're pointing to says that among people who have been previously infected, those who have been given vaccines are less likely to be reinfected than those who have not.

There is no error from the CDC here, nor any lost credibility.
You’re welcome, and I’m happy to share alternative theories. I think some of the issues of control that have been raised are legitimate. For example, you brought up the idea that Apple is doing this as part of a move to advertising, perhaps because advertisers want to be reassured their ads don’t appear next to distasteful content. I think there’s an interesting idea there: lots of companies are trying to move towards “on-device” ads; are they really private? Is privacy the right framework to evaluate them, or is it a different type of control?
Wow. I recently got a car - first time in 10 years - and I used TeraPass monthly recurring to offset. Or so I thought.

Is there a reason the cost per tonne is so far off? Is terrapass just BS?

They say I think $5 per 1,000 pounds co2

No you don't...you're a NIMBY just like the rest of Californians. I can tell because of the rehashed completely disingenuous arguments that have been debunked a million times by now.
Thank you for the specific recommendation - will write now and call in the morning.
Could you elaborate more? I’ve seen advice that it’s not recommended (and not been recommended for some years), but I’ve also seen questions in recent times by app developers who are bent on using it to “increase the security” (as it relates to where the apps want to connect to securely without any interception/modification).
Portland, OR software company that builds stuff for Apple products that started in the late 90s. It got its start with Audion, one of the first music players for classic Mac OS (their competitor SoundJam was acquired by Apple and turned into ITunes). They're well-known for making high quality, highly polished native Mac apps like Transmit and the Coda/Nova text editors, as well as publishing games like Firewatch (Campo Santo) and Untitled Goose Game (House House).
I heard an interesting ethical discussion about this; considering natural levels of testosterone vary considerably between humans, couldn't it be considered fairer to allow steroid use provided total levels are below a particular level? It's interesting considering that NSAIDs are used in pretty huge amounts to keep (for example) football players on the field despite injuries, so what you're talking about is already happening to a degree.
So pack people into towers as densely as possible and take away their ability to freely leave. Wasn’t this the plot of Escape From LA?
I've known people who chose Berkeley over Stanford. It's a personal choice and there is no right answer for the lucky few that gain admission to both. However, this is considered a fairly unusual decision. People are attracted to the higher selectiveness and the smaller size.

Personally, I would prefer it if people weren't like that. But it's the way it is.
Except that right now thy don't have a plausible reason to be scanning things, and any indication of something like that happening without prior expectation would be an even bigger deal than this is. Setting the expectation that this is acceptable is how you hide overstepping and abuse.

Just because my neighbor physically can run out and physically attack me every time he sees me exit my house isn't a valid defense of him running out and verbally abusing and threatening me every time I leave, not is it a valid excuse not to worry about it escalating to that.
Tractatus Theologico-Politicus
I heard about them first in 2010 because of their super stylish Mac apps: Coda (a text editor focused on HTML/CSS) and Transmit (an FTP/SSH client).

Since then, they kept a low profile, doing unrelated things like the popular game/walking-simulator Firewatch, the “Untitled Goose Game” for the Nintendo Switch, releasing a Coda rewrite, and now this retro-surprise-console

You have to compare it to the background rate to tease out signal from noise. That said any intervention (including a vaccine) carries non-zero risk. Taking aspirin, Zantac, laxatives, NyQuil etc., all can destroy you, but it’s rare.

The safety monitoring is actually pretty good as well. We caught a 1 in ~100k issue with AZ/JnJ vaccine very early on in the rollout. We caught mild myocarditis (though COVID risk > vaccine for myocarditis). There was even a massive preprint today from Israel around vaccine side effects. Few were concerning. Link to study + summary https://twitter.com/erictopol/status/1430636357626466307?s=2...

> “ Bob Wachter of UCSF had a very good thread on Twitter about vaccine rollouts the other day, and one of the good points he made was this one. We’re talking about treating very, very large populations, which means that you’re going to see the usual run of mortality and morbidity that you see across large samples. Specifically, if you take 10 million people and just wave your hand back and forth over their upper arms, in the next two months you would expect to see about 4,000 heart attacks. About 4,000 strokes. Over 9,000 new diagnoses of cancer. And about 14,000 of that ten million will die, out of usual all-causes mortality. No one would notice. That’s how many people die and get sick anyway”
Often, yes, but with some care you can run everything yourself except actually sending the emails over the wire. And you can do so cost-efficiently.
> All domestic students have to pay AT MOST of 1 year of out of state tuition, because you establish in state residency in your first year here.

This isn't true in many cases. I was an out of state student attending a California university and was paying out of state tuition for all years. You can only establish residency if you demonstrate financial independence (e.g., you need a full time job). If you have someone else helping pay the tuition that is outside the state, or if you're using loans to fund yourself, you remain an out of stater.
Get legal advice straight away, from someone with experience in this area. Honestly, even if you don’t have a strong case, the company would have to disclose a lawsuit to the purchasing company. So they are likely to settle just to avoid detailing or delaying the acquisition.

That's a bald-faced lie. Residential water use is only 10% of California's water use. Most of the water is used up by farmers who have free water rights dating back to the 1800's, flooding almond groves in the desert.

> Cardinality is purely a functional property.

Is something like "granularity" an appropriate intuition? Both sets are of infinite size, but one has more points with which to take measurements against than the other. It isn't "bigger" so much as it is "finer?"
I recently listened to a journalist discuss her work on corruption. She made this point: the prevalence of corruption rises in cultures that view monetary wealth as the only or primary mark of social status. She called it the Midas Disease as this pursuit is - at a certain point - meaningless (is another hundred million dollars when you already have 100 billion?), and yet - the effects of this pursuit have significant downstream effects on the fair application of justice, sustainable environmental policy, professional administration of governmental functions, etc.

Edit: Sarah Chayes
The original construction did though, if you look at the writings of Newton/Leibniz. But their work was totally hand-wavey. Cauchy discovered limits in the 1800s, and it wasn’t until the 20th century that the original idea of infinitesimals was formalized. In some sense we have come full circle.

I do think that infinitesimals are a much more intuitive way to understand calculus. It’s a shame it took so long to find positive numbers less than any real.
The BC government has not done a very good job implementing this passport/vaccine card. They announced the new rules in a big press conference and then less than 24 hours later they reimposed the province wide mask mandate. It is unlikely that they were not planning the return of masks at the time of the press conference but chose not to announce it at that time which seems sort of deceptive.

My biggest problem with the vaccine passport is that it requires a cell phone with an app on it, or after labor day (Sept 1st) they will announce how people without cell phones can get a physical card. The card will be required after Sept 12th so that is less than 2 weeks time to obtain a card, it took over 6 months for me to get my firearms license.

They could have just mailed out a physical card to everyone or tied it to our medical cards but that wouldn't help the right people profit from this.

Also 82% of eligible British Columbians have already gotten the vaccine, which is one of the highest percentages of any region in the world so why are they making us jump through more and more hoops?

They also claim that this too will be a temporary measure but like every other "temporary" government restrictions I doubt they will ever end this, there will be a new variant or new disease.

Dr. Henry used to say "This is for now, not forever"...she doesn't say that anymore.

Adrian Dix the curent appointed Health Minister ran for premier and lost a decade ago but now somehow is dictating new rules for everyone, that just doesn't seem right.
Let me ask you this - if deplatforming doesn't work, what are all of the people concerned about it worried about?

It works in the sense that it deprives people of the power-multiplying capabilities of large platforms to spread disinformation. It doesn't stop the spread, but it does slow the spread. Yes, Sandy Hook conspiracy theorists would still exist without Alex Jones egging them on, but there would have been fewer of them, and they might not have been so invested in the meme that they decided to harass victims of the shooting.

>And it goes without saying, that any deplatforming/censorship argument sounds strongest against something patently ridiculous like Sandy Hook not having happened, weaker against something controversial, and positively diabolical against something you personally believe to be true.

Yes, that's why I'm making it against the first group, and not the second or third. I'm saying if you're spreading patently ridiculous nonsense like "Sandy Hook was a hoax," and that ridiculous nonsense is doing actual societal harm, it's perfectly legitimate for platforms to decide that you should take your big breadboard and tinfoil hat elsewhere.

>If you assume the person in charge of the deplatforming is someone you politically disagree with, are you still as big a fan?

I'm not supporting deplatforming in the case of simple political disagreement, so in that case, no.
I can’t believe people are directly asking for legal advice on HN. Lawyers don’t don’t give out legal advice on the internet for free. OP, You might find one on here but don’t read any apparent advice; the comments will self-select against being legal advice. Nobody here has read your contract and not even a lawyer can answer your questions based on this information. Don’t take that as a hint to post more information! Your counterparty probably reads HN too.

I don’t think the author of the linked article understands either. Why is it obvious that myostatin inhibitors would ameliorate muscular dystrophy in mice but not humans? Nothing in this essay answers that question. Some people with certain types of muscular dystrophy spend years or even decades at near-normal muscle strength, so if you could return them to their previous muscle mass somehow, presumably it would do some good.

> it seems far better to actively remove it and get our atmospheric ppm down to what we saw ~150 years ago.

Sorry, that's just impossible in anything even remotely approximating a human time scale. None of these purported solutions pass even the most basic of physics and economics tests. Not sure why people never ask the right questions.

Someone else pointed out that we would have to build some 30,000 of these facilities just to be able to keep up with current CO2 contributions.

Ignoring for a moment the utter fantasy that such a proposal would represent, just one look at what is happening this very moment with the forest fires in California should make everyone who thinks we can control atmospheric CL2 at a planetary scale take pause. These forests are burning at a rate of tens of thousands of acres and we can't control them. Last I heard the fires (there's more than one) were somewhere between 11% and 30% contained. It is likely that, in a single week, these fires emit more CO2 than then entire US ground transport fleet emits in a year.

We do not have planetary-scale control of these matters. We can't fix this. That's the simple reality of the matter.

We have known this for quite some time (that we can't "save the planet"). A recent thread on HN explored yet another aspect of the issue:

I feel like education inequality in this country is similar to income and wealth inequality in the US. Satellite schools are one thing but we already have hosts of universities that dot the landscape, yet most of the research funding (and thus, quality undergrad education) and thus most of the jobs go to the ivies and california ivies. We could change the tune federally but we won't.
Exogenous testosterone in any quantity will make the body stop producing natural test. If the goal is to have the body produce natural testosterone again tapering off will only delay and make it more difficult for that to happen.

People have children, sometimes multiple. They're not exactly thrilled about the outlook for them. Also, people have stories about the types of people who have offered them these outrageous prices for their homes.

It would be great to slow down on features and focus on securing the platform (browser) so it didn’t leak like a sieve.
Sure, a bit, but by doing this they also ensure that elderly professors can get to class without transit.

Not so much an issue in Berkeley, of course, but makes a ton of sense for schools where heavy snowfall is a thing. School get canceled most often because professors [and employees] can't safely get to campus due to weather -- individual professors getting sick isn't enough to close the entire school.
I probably would be a NIMBY if I owned property myself. Unfortunately I'm not in that position. Higher density could help me become an owner (and hence a NIMBY), but it's not even clear that it will.

NYC built all the housing they possibly can, and yet I personally still could never afford to own property there. Same with LA.

I'm also opposed to the building of more roads. Not because (as you might claim) I own existing roads and have a vested interest, but because I know that more roads simply means more traffic. The places that have the most roads also have the worst traffic.

I wish it were different.

From humble point of view HTML 4 was just fine for the purposes of the Web, and everything else should be done via native applications and network protocols.

I expect job adverts for HTML 6 to be about years of experience developing ChromeOS applications.
