I love your idea and execution. But requiring yearly subscription is defeating the purpose of "Break away from big tech" as I am now tied to your company instead of big tech. What's the point in this?
To be honest, that wasn't a concern with my question. I think most people on HN understand this aspect. My question was more about how you improve your models when you don't have the same feedback mechanisms as non-privacy preserving apps. Google can look at your photos and see what photos fail and collect the biased statistics. In a privacy preserving version you won't be able to do this. Sure, you can on an internal dataset, but then there are lots of questions about that dataset's bias and if it is representative of the real world. I mean how many people think ImageNet is representative of real world images? A surprising number.
My mother falls into this category and lives in a very high infection area. Won't wear a mask, won't social distance, and won't get the "Satan vaccine". She's convinced it will kill her despite the rest of the family having got the vaccine with no ill effects. It's definitely strained the relationship. I told them they could visit me and their grandkids as soon as they got vaccinated. Apparently "sticking it to the libs" is more important than visiting family. I'm not as concerned for myself at this point, but am for my child as there are no ICU beds for kids anymore who are too young to be vaccinated.
- Citation needed, I'm not so sure you can make this off-hand remark and we should all accept it as an axiom and continue from here. Many people will be reasonable given reasonable arguments, especially if you make the time to answer questions and concerns they have. I've noticed people don't do research on their own, almost never aside from a very small share of my friends and family, so individual conversations seem essential to me when they aren't clear on something.

- For the sake of argument perhaps, even if that were true, what do you propose then? Let them be, force them, make irrational arguments (i.e. lie), something else?
Seems good but the UI can be improved IMO.

I have two questions please:

- Is there a list of all the feeds used by LinkLonk?

- How many users are there today?
Astrology is a psychological technology that cleverly relies on celestial mechanics as a source of effectively-random numbers. I.e., your sign matters only in that it differs from 92% of other people's signs; more if you bring in moon sign, rising sign, what-have-you. The randomizing keeps people from all getting the same advice at the same time.

How is classroom practice similar?

I mean, GPUs are only SIMD for 32 lanes (Nvidia or AMD RDNA) or 64 lanes (AMD CDNA).

The rest of those lanes come from MIMD techniques.

CPU cores are more MIMD today than SISD because of out of order and superscalar operations. So honestly, I think it's about time to retire Flynn's taxonomy. Everything is MIMD.

I was told I wasn't supposed to use rational thinking?

I'm not sure if you are replying to the wrong person but the question has nothing to do with a total sum of ids...

the question was: "List all pairs of customer IDs who live on a street with the same name but in a different city." listed under self-join

that said i haven't wrangled with raw sql in a spell so the reading on window functions is interesting.
The default issue is certainly keenly felt. My first scientific publication graphs were done with Jet. But since switching to some of the perceptually uniform ones (most often Viridis), I've never had a complaint.

But your point "if you stick with the bad it's way less noticeable" is understandable.
Yes :) I almost forwarded the comment to you lolz!
About 3 months after 0+ are eligible for a vaccine that works I will stop giving a crap about others. I will still wear a mask for myself just as an added layer of protection, but I'll cease caring about saving those who do not want to be saved.
I like the fresh thinking, but I don't see a market for this.

What I see is a market for an Instagram replacement that is:

- not about filters or effects

- has flexible sharing settings (e.g. you can opt-in to looser privacy on a per-photo basis) that default to 'private'

- solves the storage and encryption of my photo library without me even having to understand it

That last item is a feature, not a product (but could provide an amazing moat around the product).
yep. It serves to justify the subscription though, which is what all businesses want. Ongoing money vs a one-time purchase.

I personally quite like the idea of an appliance for email. But adding a permanent subscription that not only costs a lot of money, but will stop working if the company has an outage or goes out of business means it isn't targetted at me.

If you require AWS and have offsite backups then the product isn't an 'own your own data' product as it's advertised. At that point, why not just pay for managed email. It's cheaper, and probably easier to migrate if there are problems.
We have relationships with key ESPs and email security providers to help with managing reputation/deliverability issues.

There are much cheaper ways to send spam effectively than using a Helm so we haven't seen real issues around this.
>It is this weighing of risks and benefits, in all their many facets, that informs the chorus of health-care professionals imploring their families, neighbors, co-workers, and friends, along with everyone else, to please get vaccinated against covid-19. They urge vaccination because they see its ratio of risks to benefits as incredibly, unbelievably good.

For someone who has already had Covid and recovered, there is no benefit. Only risk.[1] But they are not allowed to make this calculation for themselves and instead are treated to constant social pressure campaigns like this piece.

There's almost guaranteed to be different levels to that too (e.g. allowed time for switch-over, interruptions, ... : emergency generators are far foolproof!), that need to be considered in the design. Emergency batteries in devices are not unusual.
Is it when you're writing for example mission critical embedded software?
You can see elsewhere where I discuss what the subscription provides. I think there's a huge difference between subscribing to companies that share customer values around privacy and security vs being at the mercy of companies looking to extract as much value from your data as possible.
Agree with another commenter about camera height. Couple more things.

1. Your demo level suffers from Z-fighting in a few places on the floors and walls. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-fighting

2. When viewed full-screen on a 4k monitor, textures are too low resolution. A handwritten note on the wall is unreadable.

3. Lighting is too simple. Because that’s not an FPS shooter you probably don’t need dynamic lightning nor day/night cycle, but it’s still hard. Ideally you need these multiple PBR textures everywhere, and correspondingly complicated pixel shaders.
Unbelievable! I can’t believe that censorship isn’t just for the things you disagree with!
I have one and really like it!

1. Like most things you have to trust the company producing everything. The closest thing I have seen to auditable hardware is Bunnie's Precursor.

2. You cannot install your own applications right now. And the updates happen automatically.

I have a raspberry pi and tried to run something like this and it is just so much work. So I bought a Helm v2 and like it thus far for photo backup and my secondary newsletter email domain.

If there was a company offering an auto update OS service with nextcloud and email for Pi I would love to see it! Better yet if it tied to encrypted cloud backup/restore too.

I'd have preferred that the OP simply share the Reuters [1] article directly, than linking to what strikes me as a second-rate, pedestrian personal site masquerading as an pseudo-official tech news blog.

From the Reuters article [linked in TFA]:

> In its quarterly financial disclosures, Google groups Play app revenue with that of other services and accounts for the store's ad revenue as part of another broader category.

Wishful thinking perhaps, but now that the cat is out of the bag, it would be nice to have Play revenue details in future financial disclosures. Retail investors are absolutely clamoring for more transparency in all SEC filings, and it shouldn't require complex acts of jurisprudence to get more data into everyone's hands.

In fact, I'd like to see this behavior [releasing higher resolution business details] apply to all of FAANGM [heck, the entire market], given that when it comes to 10-{Q,K}s, they all seem to be playing the same dastardly, opaque game.

I share your concerns about user privacy. The information LinkLonk collects is what you explicitly provide (ratings, etc) and the regular server request logs (which include your ip address, user agent). I clarified this in https://linklonk.com/privacy

I do want to add functionality to download your ratings. I'm thinking of exporting the ratings data in either the bookmarks format (ie, the format that browsers use to export bookmarks: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1319392), csv or json. Please let me know what format would be most useful.
I have worked for someone that believes you should rewrite every five years or so, just do the current team knows how it works and also do not needed stuff can fall away. I think it presupposes enough modularity that you can do it without having everything in the org have to change.
Being dishonest isn't a hallmark of rational thinking either. The Covid-19 vaccines are observably dangerous to some persons[1], however rare that danger may be. The rational thing to do is to weigh the risk versus the benefit. If you really want hesitant persons to get vaccinated, you're going to get a lot farther by being honest about the risks of the vaccines, the risks of Covid-19, and showing why, for their circumstances, getting the vaccine is the correct risk management strategy. And frankly, for young persons with acquired natural immunity, the risk of myocarditis and other adverse effects isn't worth it for a disease they are already immune to.

And I'm going to annoy people by saying that. I'm baffled why the existence of natural immunity, which is completely settled science, has somehow become controversial. If the mechanism for natural immunity didn't work, then the mechanism for vaccinated immunity also wouldn't be able to work. Believing that the vaccines can work but the immune system response to the live virus doesn't is some serious irrationality.

Edit: And the response is a wonderful demonstration of Aristotle's ancient observation that those in the grips of fear cannot be persuaded by facts or reason.

Previous discussion was flagged: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28342431

I would offer a defence of the New Yorker's slightly NSFW content here. With it they're slightly breaking the same taboo that has led to all this content being purged from eBay. I suppose it makes argument that it's of historical and artistic significance despite its explicitness. Most of early LGBT cultural artifacts are, perhaps unsurprisingly, heavily sexualized with no clear professional/nonprofessional boundary as we might see it today. And so it all goes on the ban list. From the porn, to the personal ads, to the interviews, op eds, advertisements, and news too. Because they were all bound up together in the likes of Drummer magazine.
You will leave the unvaccinated alone once everyone who wants to get it can? You will let them in restaurants and on planes?
I’d rather prefer baby steps: USB-C.
This study is based on 2020 data, pre Delta.
I remember having this thought while watching TNG - if the computer was having trouble processing a "recursive algorithm" you'd know about it from a series of hesitant chirrups.

I've thought about making an app that lets you know what's happening in the background with a black bar that has jets of colour move across it when something happens, with different speed, colour, and shapes based on various attributes, like which app the activity came from, and what type of activity it was.
Maybe those who disagree with you think that you should make a more subtle argument. For those who are convalescent, the risk / benefit ratio of the vaccine is very different than for someone who is immunologically naive. And, to my knowledge, the vaccines have not been carefully validated in a convalescent population, on the same level as the clinical trials on which their efficacy estimates are founded. The idea of getting an illness and then immediately double vaccinating oneself against it should give any rational person pause. This is at very least marginally beneficial, and at worst downright risky. A single dose might make sense, but there should be no rush to apply one.

The chance of an otherwise healthy COVID-19 convalescent person ending up hospitalized from reinfection appears to be almost immeasurably low. But the risk of a severe reaction to the vaccine is low but not immeasurable. And it could be worse for someone whose immune system is primed against the vaccine, but that's also not clear.
I was initially appalled by Banach-Tarski.

Looking into it more closely, it turned out to be both trivial and not notably meaningful, like most surprising results involving uncountable infinity. Nothing that affects us involves actual infinities, so infinities are just a convenient approximation that often produces correct-enough answers. Anything infinities imply that seems crazy trivially is.
Until recently I never questioned the idea that, say, the positive integers and the odd positive integers are equivalent because they can be paired, but this cloning thing seems like something that falls out of that. And it seems like that view of infinity isn't actually necessary if Cantor style cardinality is not the last word.

In the paragraph on nonstandard analysis in the Wikipedia page on infinity, it says:

"The infinities in this sense are part of a hyperreal field; there is no equivalence between them as with the Cantorian transfinites. For example, if H is an infinite number in this sense, then H + H = 2H and H + 1 are distinct infinite numbers"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinity

I can't say anything precise or mathematical, but after I read the above, I have an "obvious in hindsight" feeling. If H=inf is different from H + 1, how much different is it? 1/inf or an infinitesimal amount! And an infinitesimal is not nothing.

The quanta article says "You can add or subtract any finite number to infinity and the result is still the same infinity you started with" but this seems like just a dogma for non mathematicians?
Sounds like a great start. Does this help us (as a species) collect data in a more focused way to narrow the search?
The Montreal metro also uses rubber-tired trains.
There is "suicide by cop". Police don't kill people outside of their official orders (ideally), which are given by politics/law - ofc. you can debate these... and there are electric tasers for example to avoid that police has to shoot.
In the very first paragraph, the doctor gives a reason why people aren't getting vaccinated, and it's because they've heard of bad outcomes and are simply avoiding something they know to be a potential immediate risk. That is not irrational thinking.

"I often ask them why, after the devastation we’ve seen this year, they’ve chosen not to get vaccinated. Sometimes their answers are weird or conspiratorial. But most people say that they’re concerned about something real: adverse effects. They’ve heard about blood clots in women, or about myocarditis in young men, and the prospect of developing one of these frightening conditions has kept them away from the vaccination clinic."
No, though nodes can be deleted -- at a cost equal to the total cost of all the edges that contain it.
Neat.

Some UVP / Headlines to split test:

1. Keep your memories yours.

2. Safeguard your memories from prying eyes.

3. Don't let big tech creep on your memories.

4. Keep your memories private.

5. Block creepy algorithms from spying on your life.

I like the dynamic sub headline - perhaps test the following variation on that:

protect your {memories} from creepy algorithms
Yes the lack of significant benefit from vaccinating individuals who have already acquired immunity has direct implications for public health policy. It’s not an efficient use of limited vaccine doses, especially when many vulnerable or immunologically naive people around the world have not received even one dose. These factors need to be considered because they could help reduce the total mortality from this pandemic [1].

We will not improve our models with the help of user-data and will resort to only pre-trained models that are available in the public domain.

Great questions:
> - How to ensure the hardware is not chipped with some low level spyware?

We use a verified boot process to ensure trusted bits are running on the HW.

> - Can we install stuff on this machine? How is the upgrade process working? Do we have root on the machine if need be?

Not yet - but we are planning for customers to be able to run their own services in the future. We have quite a few updates to do before we get there. The upgrades happen OTA, seamlessly in the background. There is no root access on the machine locally or remotely.

Those who believe the vaccines are safe aren't necessarily swayed by rational thinking. Do you know that the vaccines won't eventually be linked to autoimmune or cerebrovascular disease? No, just like the rest of us you have no clue.

Generally when people refer to something as "dangerous", they don't mean "To a very very small subset of people, and in very very specific and rare circumstances".
Hmm not sure what's up, I'm seeing USD prices and US-centric products when I click the flag icon and select the US one. Must be kinda weird for an American user to open a commerce site where they're not treated as first-class citizens :)
You can't persuade skeptics by not addressing (simply omitting) some most important concerns, namely:

- Role of age, fitness and comorbidities in risk/benefit analysis
- Lack of trust in institutions (suppression of alternative views; capture/corruption)

Another question is who New Yorker can reach, I won't be surprised that ~95% of their audience are already vaccinated. And remaining 5% holdouts are well-informed and would need way better arguments.

They are, and for non-driven wheels, the bogey and train cars basically sit on top. There's only a few minor things like brake hardware that need to be removed to remove a wheel. When there is a derailment, many of the wheel sets fall off.

The axles are tough. Each axle weighs about 1 ton if I remember correctly. Each wheel can be reworked on a lathe several times (either with the wheel set removed or in situ on a drive-through floor-mounted lathe). After a few years, the diameter of the wheel is out of spec, and new ones are pressed on the axle. Axles can last about 75 years.

for Thuraya and Globalstar (at least back then).

Either way, I said Iridium didn’t and apparently I was wrong (as my example was from 2016). Maybe I had a Globalstar phone that time? Iridium definitely didn’t in 2008 though.
