But isn't it due to the ML models rather than the camera? Facial recognition models were/are? disastrously biased.

Amazon's Rekognition detected darker skinned women as men or children in our application in 2017(we used it to prevent profile photo having children in our privacy focused dating app), Amazon rep said they were working to fix that but doesn't seem like it as of 2019[1].

If your route to the DNS server is through your VPN router, you are protected.

DNS leaks are a subset of the problem where not all of your traffic goes through the VPN routes. If your only connection to the internet is through the VPN, the odds of that happening approaches 0%. If you're using some browser extension, the odds of that happening approaches 100%
"default on the currency and never borrow again"

I am struggling to believe this is a serious suggestion.

Can you please (oh please HN don't down vote me!) provide more details?

Almost all highly industrialised, wealthy nations are heavily dependent upon trade. If you default on your national debts to foreigners, they are very unlikely to want to trade with you in the (near) future. How to do you propose to overcome this issue? See Argentina!
As someone who still mostly uses make and looks warily at cmake, the proliferation of new build systems makes me nervous. Nervous because there are so many choices and the number seems to grow by the day and it's hard to tell what the next big build tool will end up being.
What a sensational title, it's so tech-focused and the article fetishizes smartness in a bizarre way.

There are talent curators in every single field, for instance from baseball, this reminds me of those old advisors in the movie Moneyball, who look at how people seem to be rather than using actual evidence of prior performance. Where is the quantification of TC's magical power? It's narrative, not numbers. The article doesn't address his failure rate or the bias of these selected stars getting a huge boost from a rich established individual.

Skepticism aside, I think we'd do well as a society to pull 18 year olds with a lot of promise out of college and directly into ventures for a year or two. They can always go back if they need to, but I question the wisdom of putting our best youth into a college system where their efforts are entirely hoop-jumping, self-promotional classes that contribute to a GPA but to no one else. We're effectively squandering their apprenticeship on grade values, not on projects or useful deliverables.

And then slowly inevitably do a 180 on all the original principles in the name of bigger numbers between Q1 and Q2.
Agreed. Everyone is advocating for option #1 because it doesn't tell anyone that they shouldn't go to college. Option #2 is what we need but it's basically impossible to do directly.

The middle ground is the federal government starts admitting that it is footing the bill for higher education (it already is paying via loans). If the government's only option for recouping the money is via future tax revenue than there should be pressure to keep the cost per student low and expected future earnings high. Hopefully this would result in colleges offering cheap online classes, credit via exams, etc.
Having used both for things that are neither gnome-specific nor kde-specific, I'd take meson over cmake any day.
"Minikube is the officially supported way to run Kubernetes locally on macOS, Windows, or Linux. Furthermore, it is the only tool that is a drop-in replacement for Docker Desktop."

Huh, I hadn't realised that Minikube was available on Windows!

I use Docker Desktop on Windows, to make it easy to run Docker, Docker Compose, and Docker Swarm.

Does Minikube support these things, or only Kubernetes? If it's the latter, then of course it's not a drop/in replacement for Docker Desktop.
It's not wrong, and it's also not wrong of any previous user to decide to move to a free alternative. Let the free market decide whether they are charging a fair price for the value they provide or if there is more value in other options.

I've helped 3 YC companies launch, have worked on and at multiple startups, and have a specific interest/expertise in newer financial technology.
That's a lot of RAM but it's still pretty expensive for an i5.
Was also curious having recently started looking into PowerBI embedded.
OpenAI API: Prompt Design
This is how the iOS NYT Crossword app works. We called it the Server View Model (SVM). The server and UI have "card" models that are described as protobufs and assembled and sent by the server when the user opens the app. The UI has tons of personalized data, so a purely native UI would require several fetches anyway. It allowed us to add features like "From The Archive" in a few days without a formal app store release.

Admittedly it was a weird DSL and I can't say for sure I'd do it again.
If it's any consolation, the repeated evidence I've seen that your response here is typical of basically everybody getting real work done in rust does help me to ignore the muppets.
"And without maintenance, that playbook will eventually decay and stop working."

This is the part that has killed this as an activity for me. I really enjoyed the experience of setting up playbooks and so on for my home server (deluge, jellyfin, zoneminder, etc), but in the end I didn't have the time to do much more than make the occasional config tweaks and restart it all live, and once that started happening, the scripts were no longer of value, and it was clear there was no point.

That said, I know some Nix acolytes swear by it for this kind of thing, in part because it really forces you to do things using its declarative wrappers and intentionally doesn't provide workarounds the way containers do ("just shell in and change whatever, lol").
> useless gender studies degrees.

I don't know why this is such a pervasive perspective, but it's really sad. This same logic extends to philosophy, theater, arts, psychology, sociology, and so many other disciplines. At which point, you're really just left with STEM, which seems to hint the preference is for trade schools (which do exist, but aren't favored). The loss of arts and social sciences would be a catastrophe for the academic world.
There's no "enough" under capitalism, so every medium will eventually reach maximum ad saturation.
Using your example of North Dakota State University.

They have about 15,000 students. Over 50% get federal student loans averaging about 6,500/student/year. That is $48,750,000 per year is taxpayer funded loans going to your State school.
Have you read the books as well? I was wondering whether it's worth listening to the lectures or reading the book.
"kind, microk8s, or k3s are replacements for Docker Desktop. False. Minikube is the only drop-in replacement. The other tools require a Linux distribution, which makes them a non-starter on macOS or Windows."

False, kind can run on top of Docker Desktop on Mac, it does not require Linux exclusively.
Yeah. I was lucky enough to have one department head who agreed to testing out and was able to bypass two required courses. It doesn’t make much sense to require courses which the student has already mastered. Only reason is $$$.

I specialize in Ethereum smart contract integrations and architecture. If you're looking to build, test, or launch smart contract based products, I can help. If the past, I've helped multiple YC crypto companies launch and I specialize in Ethereum/solidity. I also run https://www.blocktimize.io/, which automates a lot of the process of smart contract architecture setup if that's of interest. I am also a fullstack engineer with substantial React + React Native + Node experience.

So ~0.004% then. Are you suggesting that is statistically significant?
Oh yeah. Your battery is gonna drain while the lid is closed. That seems to be just the world we live in now. For Intel, at least.
The world is material. In this material world, everything that occurs has a physical consequence. We cannot introduce the concept of free will without introducing a non-material cause, eg souls or magic.
There's a lot of literature on this, but you are quite right as there are tons of open questions. Some enhancer RNAs are non-functional. Others seem to help stabilizing chromosome contacts. Some do seem to encode secondary structures, so they are probably functional ncRNAs.

Irrespective of this, enhancer RNA transcription is very useful to track active regulatory regions and to perform QTL studies.

I don't see how this helps at all in a remote setting. National ID numbers aren't private and could be stolen just as easily. Unless you truly have a national ID equivalent to like a Yubikey / 2-factor auth (I don't think anyone does) this just changes the implementation.
>> Give tuition waivers rather than grants.

Then you'll just get for-profit colleges to pop up (like Devry, etc)
On some laptops I'll stick with the stock windows install simply because that's what is often required to get full performance (GPU, battery life, etc). The most egregious I've seen so far is an ASUS Zephyrus G15 which gets ~20% worse GPU performance when using anything but the factory Nvidia drivers on the factory install. Installing drivers from Windows Update or straight from Nvidia incurs the speed hit, and while it's possible to download the right drivers from ASUS, getting them installed and in the right state is a pain in the rear.
>Assuming that you're talking about your local tax burden for public schools you're paying $1200/mo.

$1200 is what I pay in private education for my toddler before taxes start. I am not rich and this is a very large part of my paycheck. No one helps me with this, no subsidies, no nothing, but I'm supposed to pay even more for someone else's college at gunpoint of federal agents under the taxation system.

I'm with you on _wanting_ children to succeed. And adults. I have tutored GED for adults who didn't finish high school, and I did it for free. More money doesn't necessarily mean better education. I pay all of my toddler's education (taxpayers won't help me like they will with K-12 kids). And like most HNers I'm paying out more taxes to fund these programs than the average person. I'm doing my part, now I want the government to handle my money responsibly before I hand them more.
The parent comment was literally suggesting that GP should have allowed the equipment to fail so that IT could be blamed. I didn't get the impression GP's situation was the result of not bothering to sit down and talk to a higher-up.

Everyone else is responding to incentive structures too, it's no less legitimate for lab workers to circumvent IT due to their incentives than it is for IT workers to be unhelpful due it their incentives.
We use it for identification because there’s no alternative. Hence the suggestion to create an alternative.

it's wasteful to replicate non-functional DNA, yet there are organisms whose genomes are 10X-100X larger than any others (literally ten copies of a genome), and they do just fine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_japonica). The cost of DNA replication isn't that strong a functional selection afaict.

Hello there!
The creator of this project is here!

I made this small tool to create an additional channel of communication with clients, which can be easily used by indie hackers and owners of small online stores.

Using my tool you can create a custom promotions calendar and invite your IOS users to subscribe to it. Thus, we can send push notifications through the default IOS calendar app. The subscription is created using WebCal protocol.

Check the demo subscription page from your iPhone to see how it works:

P.S.Think of it as an alternative to web push on IOS.

Sure, I think YIMBYs are mistaken when they wax hyperbolic about evil NIMBYs and their nefarious motives. It's actually pretty simple. People don't want their neighborhoods to change. It's an earnest objection.

But I don't care what they want.

It's not up to them. It's illegitimate to tell a property owner that they can't build a duplex on their own property. It's an illegal taking. It's not up to a vote. My neighbor's opinion is irrelevant.

> There are plenty of places people for people to live and build.

Indeed, there are plenty of places to live and build and the burden is on those who don't want anyone to build near them to move to some place new if they don't like what their neighbors are doing. You have the burden exactly backwards. If you don't like what people are choosing to do on their own private property, then you can move. You shouldn't be allowed to tell everyone else to stop building.
It destroys the idea that you can only get an education that meets their standards from their teaching.
> If they were given cash equivalent to the value of that housing on the market

One issue we see here in Ireland is that there seems to be no path to create laws that force land developers to allocate sufficient space to affordable (they read "affordable" as "less profitable") housing. Since they have pockets deep enough to help their friends get elected, there is not much surprise such things tend to not happen. Ireland's ranked voting system is great for weeding out extremism, but doesn't work as well for preventing regulatory capture.

They may have no clue.
Generally, this pattern has a name: bait and switch. I'm not saying that the company shouldn't make money, but I'm saying that it's widely recognized that providing something free and changing your mind later will inevitably degrade your users' trust in you. So don't be surprised when there's backlash and migration away from your services and tools if you decide to try to turn formerly free services and tools into paid versions with no additional incentive.
Natural language is sometimes ambiguous. I read "Git protocol security" as the protocol security of network protocols related to Git in general. They are deprecating the internal git protocol (tcp on port 9418) entirely, and changing the requirements for using the ssh protocol (tcp on port 22).
>Why should I take a vaccine, when it is now known that vaccinated people can still spread the virus, there's an almost neglible chance of side effect, and with no information about possible long-term side effect. If the chance of me getting hospitalized is so low to begin with, what's the benefit of the vaccine to me.

Simply put: get the vaccine or we will make you suffer.
I don't know. It sounds nice, but it doesn't describe jetlag well at all IMO.
In my experience, I've always learned a lot more during the class than was tested on the exam (except for intro classes). I'd personally prefer easier exams but harder assignments and projects that allow for some collaboration. If you were allowed to test out of classes then the exams would need to be made a lot harder so it includes all the material you should have learned if you took the class.
After all, I am willing to waste some minutes with you.

Since IBM i, IBM z, Unisys ClearPath exist, and power the world of insurances and finance, this sentence is obviously false.

> Google didn't write Fuchsia in Go

Indeed, only the TCP/IP stack and volume management tooling, should be easy for you to find out about them.

Then there is this thing called gVisor, it is powering parts of the world that run on top of Google Kubernetes Engine.

Maybe something there for you to learn as well.

> Microsoft uses somewhere approximating 0% .NET/C# code in the Windows core

On the NT kernel, yes, yet good luck using Windows only with the kernel, without the remaining layers, many of which developed in a mix of COM and .NET.

A basic proof how much Windows systems programming experience you have.

Ah then there is this thing called IoT Edge runtime for intelligent devices, written in a mix of Rust and C#.

And before I forget, NVIDIA DRIVE AGX firmware is written in Ada/SPARK.

Bye and learn to grow beyond the Linux bubble.

Most laptops are 1080p (or less), but I guess you're allowed to have that opinion.

Personally I feel opposite about them. I like their hardware, hate the OS. POP OS! is ugly, full stop. They'd be better off going with Arch or Fedora base so they can keep closer to modern GNOME and potentially offer other DEs easier. Every beta they ship for POP is super broken in one way or another, and I hate cosmic, so I rock Arch on it.
The "Stuff Made Here" guy on youtube is working on an "unpickable" lock. He has made some neat stuff including a pool cue that can't miss and a basketball hoop that doesn't miss.
I’d build my own home if I had somewhere to put it.
This. I'm really concerned that these IoT devices will begin hard coding their own setup and using DoH to get around any DNS restrictions.

I've started hardwiring devices that I have some trust in (eg laptops, desktops, etc) on to their own VLAN. I really want to setup a second wifi network, maybe a third for Rokus, IoT and other things, and force them through a proxy. Or they just don't get access to the Internet at all.

It seems silly that these companies think that can use my bandwidth, whether or not it's metered, to do as they wish.
So they will be well fed and clothed on the street?
