Without knowing exactly what's going on it's difficult to say. My better nature thinks that hopefully this is not a case of moral arbitration on the part of GoDaddy. It's quite likely if the site has generated huge amounts of traffic it could be counted as impacting services and this is why they need to move or perhaps get DDOS protection to prevent that. Giving godaddy's history I have my doubts that's the reason.

Since this is not the first time GoDaddy has done similar things I do not know why anyone would continue to use GoDaddy for anything. I want the employees of GoDaddy to be politically active and participate in the democratic process but I do not GoDaddy as a company to be the moral arbiter of things.

The CEO of GoDaddy, maybe not the current one I haven't kept up on things, has had his own troubles yet I don't recall him getting completely canceled by the company. This kind of Jim Crowesque behavior from companies always ends badly. This is literally what happens when people are single issue zealots. They seem completely incapable of understanding that the reasoning that they apply against their single issue will eventually turn around and be used against them.

What we need is laws that companies cannot be moral arbiters. If companies do choose to become moral arbiters then all protections against them are removed. You cannot cancel someone because you do not like what they say and then turn it right around and claim common carrier status therefore you are not responsible for something else you're hosting. Yeah this is what we see repeatedly with a number of these companies they wish to feign ignorance and common carrier status but they also wish to selectively police things.

I think this is similar to research work in general. Definitely not for everyone but it can be very attractive for certain people.

If I were on the team I’d imagine my motivation would be ensuring huge platform transitions are successful.

- They’ve happened often enough it’s a valuable effort for people (like me) who feel comfortable/at home in a maintainer role.

- All of the ISA changes have been widely praised as smooth transitions.

- The Intel transition was part of what saved Apple.

- All of the software transitions that have been followed through on (i.e. not the several failed “modern OS projects” before OS X) have been similarly successful, if a bit less smooth.

- All of those things together have been a huge factor in Apple’s overall success in the last two decades.

Doing obscure work that may never see the light of day is probably as motivating as your interest in the work itself and how much you value whatever else it (might) support.
I just logged into HN to mention Todoist.

I have a hobby of trying out different project management software and I even went back to a pen and paper notebook for a while.

But I’ve become a huge fan and advocate of Todoist. So lightweight yet very flexible.

*sorry if this sounds like a marketing message. I don’t work for the company or know anyone that does. I’m not invested in the company other than a happy customer.

Thanks for the feedback! The leaf of a circle heirarchy doesn't necessarily need to be a task -- that's just how many orgs operate. The theoretical OKR feauture-set of Wormhole could simply be a place for message boards, docs, and a way to manually add metrics. You could reference other circles inside an OKR circle if you'd like, but it's not mandatory.

The main critique about OKR software that I don't like is that it's a separate system from where things get done. When thinking about a product team and having an OKR set, it's sometimes beneficial to think about what the team is doing every week that helps them achieve their OKRs.

For other languages, you might still hit stack overflow (not the site) before you get to 10000 if the stuff you push on the stack is large-ish.
Is your argument that the windows desktop is a good piece of software or that software developers who consistently create bad software are actually good developers?

I realize most of the terrible bloat, adware, security holes etc are probably caused by external factors, but at some point I think it's important to take responsibility for your own work and either push back on or move on.
Hmm, not a materials scientist here, but wouldn't some of diamond's brittleness derive from its crystalline structure, ie that it's easy for it to sheer along a plane? Whereas this material, being "disordered", to use your term, won't have the same sheer planes and therefore potentially be much less brittle?

I've had decent luck with Vivaldi lately.
While I don't know the answer, I would guess it has something to do with it not just being the English word. It's also the Dutch word (spelled exactly the same) and, based on some random clicking in Google Translate, Croation, Norwegian and Czech. It's a secondary translation in a bunch of other languages. I don't know how much of that changed after the road signs, but it looks like a good international basis.

Paul Dirac was the subject of the BBC radio programme In Our Time in March 2020. In the programme, three academics discuss Dirac's life and work . It's a stimulating discussion, although I can't honestly say I fully understood some of the explanations! The episode can be downloaded for offline listening.

Near the end of the programme (around the 40 minute mark), the presenter, Melvyn Bragg, asks the guests: why is Dirac so unknown compared to Einstein, Schrödinger, Nils Bohr, etc?

One of the guests suggests that Dirac's abstract ideas are very difficult to explain to the general public. Einstein's theory of relativity is difficult to understand too, but over time popular science has attempted to explain it. In contrast, it is very hard to explain Dirac's ideas because of its reliance on mathematics and mathematical structures (even though Dirac's ideas underpin much of modern physics).

Of course an average user does not bother about these controls. They don't even need to know what cookies are. Maybe they don't care today but now you are not even giving them opportunity to learn and take control back.

The argument that no one uses it is just a front. Real reason is it serves in Google's interest to remove these and that is why they are doing it. Just like GTalk and RSS.
The first part of the article comments about the futility of publishing - books, music, movies. Perhaps people who get as far as publishing in these verticals are good enough in their trade to hold a decent job in the trade. What about the others? What are some fields where the not good enough can make a living?
Confusingly, "conscious" is also used as a synonym for "sentient"

Classic.. Effectively calling everyone else sheep and insulting their intelligence by accusing them of "obeying" some nameless cabal. Then turn around and claim to be condescended to.

Doctors and epedemiologists are not Obama or Bill Gates or Nicole Kidman. I've never liked or respected any of those people in my life, and I'm not sure why you think they are inspiring "obedience." That's not where public health directives have been coming from.

Over the last year, hundreds of communities around the world have enacted public health measures based on the imperfect but mostly best information known at the time that those decisions were made. "They" weren't listening to Obama, or the Mayor of Washington. Most of the world doesn't even live in the United States. It's only really in the US where this has been played as some sort of "right" / "left" partisan divide, too.

My points still stand. Most of us have been acting in rational self-interest, not out of "obedience." You're the one being condescending.

You are probably not random, I just added the word to make the message clear.

There is no authorities of branding, it is just that there are people who are paid for that, and it is very unlikely that shareholders will let Apple do things that decrease the market value over a long period of time.
Private companies in the US can discriminate or otherwise choose who they want as customers except if the criteria is a protected class. Currently, political reasons are not protected so Godaddy would be within its rights to deny service.
You seem to be contradicting yourself. You have the option to turn off iCloud photos in which your phone will not scan the photos because there is no point.

> Why not scan your whole library?

That may very well be the case in the future, but nobody can say for sure. But even if they do scan other files on your phone, it's unlikely they will do that for files that don't sync to iCloud. If this bothers you, you can always just sign out of iCloud completely. You can still retain access to the app store and music subscriptions separately.

That would mean that there's no value in creating the music. Only in reproducing it. People would have even less incentive to create new stuff instead of redoing old stuff. That is definitely not what I, as a listener, want.
I forgot to mention, team culture is dumping shit on each other. Ticket with vague language. "we want google analytics on our sites" mind you there are 30+ sites. Then if you ask more, the biz dev / product douche, says oh ask this dev he has worked on this, you message the other dev who responds back in 3 hours oh we pass events here and you can read more google analytics documentation. I still don't wtf I need to do, where I need to do it, and what the output should be. After slow back and forth, I just give up and watch a movie instead. Everyone redirects to each other or to some random documentation. At last company I had product person who had tech background. Tickets were completely understandable and lead to action. But then in useless meetings these same people LOVE to hear themselves speak 10 minutes at a time. You clearly dont care about any of this, then in 'public' you pretend to be really interested in the product. So 50% gets done and then manager is like wHy dOnT yOu ReAcH oUt more...
This is a strange argument that I've heard repeated often: "repeal copyright and just treat it as an NDA". I personally would consider that worse than the status quo.

NDA-based copyright-like ownership has three different problems:

- If the group of people with the software is large - like most mass-market works - enforcing the NDA will be absolutely impossible. Someone will leak, and that someone will not have the financial means to remunerate you for your subsequent loss of exclusive ownership. Making an example of them will not work. Once leaked, people will be able to legally republish without repercussion, so such NDAs are far weaker than even the weakest copyright.

- If the group of people with the software is small - like most specialized software - enforcing the NDA will be so successful that the software will effectively never enter the public domain (in both the intelligence and copyright lawyer sense of the word). Archival of old works will be impossible purely because the NDA did it's job too well. Such NDAs would be far stronger than even today's life+70 monster terms.

- In either case, traditional exceptions to copyright such as fair use, first sale, the merger doctrine, scene a faire, and so on will not apply. The NDA will prevent disclosure of even things that would not be considered copyrightable. Want to benchmark the software? Sorry, you can't, it's all under NDA - just take our performance claims as gospel.

The underlying problem is that copyright is supposed to be a bargain: the public agrees to respect a limited monopoly over publication of the work in exchange for creating a market that encourages more works to be made, as well as unlimited access to the work once the monopoly expires. In a sense, this bargain has been broken. Copyright owners lobbied for hilariously long ownership terms, right around the same time that individuals got access to commercial-grade publication tools that made piracy easy and interesting to do. "Just NDA everything" proposes abandoning the bargain entirely in favor of extremely authoritarian yet difficult to enforce controls on all works; something that we should not accept if we want to continue to have a market for works of mass culture.
> Apple could read your whole phone content and send it to governments without your consent if they wanted to, on device-scanning or not. Util they do, there is no breach of privacy.

This misses the point. Apple has repeatedly assured its customers (I’m waiting for my Pinephone to get here so I no longer need to be one) that the devices they buy are theirs. This is how things always have been, and although you’re right they could in theory slip some law enforcement update on my phone, they’re publicly refused to do so before and I trusted them as a result.

They’re not secretly slipping in a government backdoor though, they’re backpedaling on their promises and openly installing a backdoor on my phone for no reason. Why let this slide like it’s normal, or pretend like this isn’t a betrayal? They refused to unlock an iPhone owned by a mass shooter!

Plus, for many people, Apple and Android are basically the only options for modern computing. Their decisions in this market normalize stuff like this. I don’t want future devices to be forced to implement easily-abused crap like this because Apple convinced people this is a solvable problem with machine accuracy. We’re already seeing this for open questions like moderation and copyright enforcement, with horrific results that are now just normal.

I personally love using gitpod for open source work.

I got it setup and working for open library (https://github.com/internetarchive/openlibrary) and I think some people have been quite happy to not have to download them many GB of docker images to their machine to be able to do small tweaks.
Why not use Edge if you need to use a chromium based browser?
Yes, I'm finding it a bit mindboggling how the tone here has swung. There's definitely a vocal minority that chimes in on this subject across all sorts of threads, regardless of the original topic.
You can make a mistake once or two, but if a company like Apple keep pushing for something ( that can hypothetically kill its brand) it is unlikely that it will actually kill the brand.
> This shit should be plainly illegal, IMO

Although I'm pretty outraged that a hosting provider would pull something like this, I can't for the life of me think of a way to "safely" outlaw it without creating all sorts of unintended consequences. Then again, I'm not a lawmaker, so maybe they're more clever than I am. It seems that a lot of private enterprise in the Unites States believes that the US conservative movement is so irrelevant as to be safe to completely ignore - if it turns out they're wrong, they're in for a rough next few years.
did you check that the number of counted infections in ages < 50 is enough to get statistical significance per whatever criteria in the study?
You can host whatever the fuck you want. So can GoDaddy.
Where is that little story from? Sounds fun
It would constitute strong evidence for that.
Their previous detailing of GoDaddy/Microsoft issues has the same sort of "it's someone else's fault!" but reads heavily like a misunderstanding on the poster's part.

Adjacent to this discussion, I’ve been contemplating going open source on a hardware project I’ve been working on. It’s nothing so broad or useful that I expect anyone would try to mass produce it, but I have to push back my fears and doubts of getting “robbed” by giving people the tools and knowledge to make a copy of their own. I don’t know if it’s deep ingrained entrepreneurship, or scarcity mindset.

What does help me move forward is the idea that someone might find the thing I make and offer back some way to make it better. Something that never occurred to Me.
Getting laughter is a tell about the high bit of company culture. People’s mental model of other people largely assumes that other people are about as trustworthy as themselves.

Trustworthy people assume other people are trustworthy.

Backstabbers assume other people backstab.

Don’t misunderstand me, there’s a difficult conversation about stock. A few shares doesn’t give a person a say in how the company is run. It doesn’t make a person a principal. Doesn’t make them a “partner”.

Worker bees are still worker bees with shares. Trustworthy people offer shares because it might make you rich.

If someone laughs, they don’t think you deserve to be rich.
>“If DNA vaccines prove to be successful, this is really the future of vaccinology” because they are easy to manufacture, says Shahid Jameel, a virologist at Ashoka University in Sonipat, India.

I doubt that. A vaccine ultimately needs to be administrated. Just wait for antivaxers to hear 'DNA' and go wild.

The West will have plenty of mRNA stocks. Russia and China seem uninvested in the technology, according to the list in the article. It took the current crisis to win acceptance for mRNA vaccines and (hopefully) such a crisis will not repeat for many years. So with few to push it and a scary name, this tech is unlikely to win acceptance this time around.
they could be under a gag order which would mean if they did mention anything about the government they could get into deep shit
Firefox Nightly is a pretty good browser imho

Also it just so happens that there are extensions that allow you detailed (read: raw and editable) cookie data for each website you visit!
They've always had apple pies as long as I can remember.
Absolutely. I delete specific cookies regularly.
Anyone in the know got some ideas about the advantages of DNA vaccines vs mRNA? What I gathered so far is:

a) Easier handling and stability (DNA is just inherently more stable than RNA)

b) Potentially easier to manufacture if you make an un-encapsulated plasmid vaccine (though I have no idea how that effects effectiveness)

c) Higher payoff per material?? I assume that you can get more protein created per ng of genetic material.

Does anyone know if DNA vaccines generate protein over longer timescales than mRNA? I assume that once the plasmid is picked up in the nucleus it becomes pretty stable until the cell itself dies - mRNA should be cleaned up relatively more quickly?
Some interesting notes: professional font designers regularly copy each other's work. However, if you ask a legitimate font designer, they will trace another font. Where they get in hot water is if they copy and/or manipulate the actual Bezier points from another file (at which point they are copying the code). I remember going to a font design conference a long time ago, and some elite well known designers were aghast at another well known font designer for copying the bezier points directly off of another font and then manipulating the points from there. It's a crazy little dance they do to keep things legit.
