Yeah, I've read some incredible stories. Locking the doors behind the patient. Using some tiny remark as cause for involuntary institutionalization. It made me think american psychiatry was like american prisons where they get paid per person and are therefore incentivized to stuff as many people in the building as possible.

If it's the paper I'm thinking of then I read the original and that's not really a fair representation of what they did.

What they actually did was they started with some data on things which had gone viral but could only see how many were "infected" (number of views over time). They didn't have direct access to the granular information of who had seen what and who they shared or didn't share with. They decided to work backwards and model virality for some assumed network properties and contagiousness properties and then see which of their models had the similar statistics to actual viral posts.

Network topology: iirc they tested the case of a gaussian distribution of connections meaning on average 95% of nodes had n connections +- 2sigma and they tested a power law type distribution meaning some thin minority of "influencers" had connections to nearly everyone".

Contagious property: they tested the case where different content had a different virality property r0 with more or less contagious content all competing at the same time. They also tested the case of sheer randomness wherein all content is equally likely to be shared and which goes viral basically depends on the luck of who's eye it catches.

The end result was that a power law and random contagiousness best fit the real world statistics.
The point is that the two shows ("almost every episode") were purposefully meant as propaganda, as Jay himself explains in the quote. That's not just cynicism.
I don't! we love the USA here, it's all we talk about. and always good things! trump ftw! we love to talk about the per-capita Covid cases and just love reading about people taking the pandemic seriously in the USA, it gives us lots of hope for your country. but over here we are very sad there is no second amendment, because without mass shootings how can you have a functioning democracy? i guess we will just toil under tyranny forever :(
Reminds me of a gang I heard about a couple decades ago that would just roll up in a moving van to a nice suburban house in a neighborhood where nobody really talked to each other and just empty the place.
They can't.

The new Texas law makes it effectively illegal to help someone get an abortion, for example by providing transport to a clinic for that purpose. Even if the clinic is outside Texas.
It’a not too rare.

A relative who is a policeman knows 2-3 guys too old to migrate south for the winter who commit some misdemeanor in front of a cop to spend the winter at the county lockup.

Beat officers often feed these guys and help them out in small ways.
How would that disprove a conspiracy is going on exactly? I don't personally believe this is anything more than republicans being republicans but what do the numbers have to disprove it?

I know this is such a stereotypical HN comment, but... I can't tell what this is. I tried reading the about page, then the rest; some sort of cloud app platform with branding that I would not want to defend in court.
> Azure Container Instances (ACI) was released in July 2017 and was the first Container-as-a-Service (CaaS) offering by a major cloud provider.

Amazon’s ECS launched in 2014. Is that not container hosting as a service?
TIL there are laws in some states that prohibit auto manufacturers from directly selling to the customer.

Have these laws ever been challenged in court ? Is it really allowed for states to mandate the sale of something only through intermediaries ?
This is a very interesting observation but also one that could support a few different interpretations. Is it that women enjoy at last a social circumstance where they are superior to men? Or is it men realising the brunt of their experience and the extent of their fall when receiving help from women? I would think it’s mostly the latter, given the volunteer women or men I know all have dedicated significant part of their lives to helping people, not men or women or children or elders specifically.
It is? I thought HSTS headers did a pretty good job of preventing downgrades, at least for sites I frequently visit.
Then I'd say focus on the speed, and drop any references to these "problems" that don't really exist.

So, I still don't know how much pain your customer is in. You've said "yeah, not a problem for React Native", but there are other environments that people develop in too. What about Flutter? Etc etc.

So I'd say be clear about what dev environments you help with.

You say "fast" and then describe the hardware. That's not the way you want to pose that. I had to look at what my machine is...2GHZ & 16gb Ram.

What you want to describe is how much pain your user is currently in, and how much you can help them.

You do say "Save 20 seconds", and that's good, but is it 20 seconds on a 40 second build? Or on a 5 minute build. How painful is that 20 seconds. If it's saving you 50% of the time on a build, that's good. If it's 5%, probably not so good. And still, it's 20 seconds! If it was 20 seconds on an auto-refresh type situation, yeah, that's annoying. If it's 20 seconds like a test runner, might not be as big of an issue.

Can you frame this in such a way that even somebody who doesn't build using Java/Kotlin can understand the pain you're solving? Can you make somebody who doesn't have the problem want the solution anyway?

As I alluded to in my first comment, saving 20 seconds might be helpful, but it needs to be helpful enough to overcome the inertia and familiarity of continuing to do what I already do.

Hope that helps.
It's written by a private company with no public docs and no public implementation. Hell, it's not even directly sold, since it's just used as the backend for Q.

I have heard of people getting into legal problems for making a Q clone but not for k3/k6 implementations, so I don't know where they draw the line there.
The usual recommendation has been to take zinc in combination with a zinc ionophore such as quercetin. One small controlled trial found a significant positive effect, however it also included several other supplements so it's unclear what effect zinc alone would have.

Thanks for providing your info. I stopped using CF for resolution because of this almost two years ago; I don’t have a reason to think the situation changed but if I get a chance I can try to reproduce it and get back to you.
And respectfully. You're wrong. Utterly and completely. This is beyond opinion. This is logic. I urge you to think about it.
So I made this super simple by design top HN feed using the graciously provided HN api hosted on firebase. I am one of those (except for this time I guess) 'consume only' people who don't generally leave comments or likes etc; this site gives me exactly what I'm looking for over breakfast. I was thinking about adding a favourites system using local storage (or an actual db since I user Firefox Focus a lot). Hopefully someone else finds it useful :) - would love to hear anyone's thoughts - good or bad!
It makes sense when you consider that the therapist is there to help you but only in a way that does not challenge society. You are right to not feel completely safe to discuss it, unfortunately. I'm not sure why this taboo has evolved to be so strong, though I would guess it runs very deep psychologically in peoples' fear of death and also has something to do with the potential societal implications to any culture which does not treat it as something to be dealt with with extreme prejudice.
> is it really necessary that so many need to exist?

Yes it is necessary - often different contexts require different notation, sometimes as an abbreviation, sometimes not.

I do not believe that mathematical notation can be improved (a poor analogy would be trying to improve, say, English language itself); what does evolve, though, is the understanding of mathematical objects and mathematical frameworks - which can often lead to simplifying things and, sometimes, notation, too.
Lighting is the main thing. Especially global illumination/ambient occlusion. Do a google search for "ambient occlusion" and you'll see a lot of scenes that are literally plain white but look amazing. Throw in some soft shadows and area light sources and things start to look really nice even with very plain materials.

If you look at this scene, I'm fairly certain all the lighting is prebaked in something like blender/maya etc.

There's also a lot of other little environment art things you can do. For instance, small bevels on sharp edges help things look more natural (look around your house and you'll notice even sharp corners aren't as sharp as you think). Adding roughness and specular lighting to materials helps a bit too, even things like wood or asphalt have some amount of reflectiveness at certain angles.
I did a similar thing in San Francisco when working at the ballpark.

Someone smashed my window, and someone stole my radio. (I knew the cops wouldn't do anything besides laugh.)

Didn't care about the radio, but that window bothered me.

I decided to keep the doors unlocked, and carried a portable radio to work. (Too cheap to pay for parking.)

I put a sign on the rear window, "Please go ahead and sit in the truck, or sleep in the bed, but Don't Break Anything. Everything is unlocked."

It was an old Toyota, and it had a kill switch hidden.

Never had a problem again.

There were days when I would find cash in the glove box. I don't think it was tip. I think my truck was being used as a drug drop, but didn't care.
Highly recommend the Deep Blue documentary too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwF229U2ba8&ab_channel=Fredr...

It's easy to forget that none of this was guaranteed to work. Nowadays it feels inevitable that Chess and Go would fall to computers, but in the moment it was quite a different experience.

I always use somewhat recent laptops, but with middle range specs (e.g. the current 13” M1), so the effect is more visible than on your system I think.

I can/could use any of the properties in a pinch, but something would give after a while. The worst offender for me was Meet, a few hours of here and there meetings would trigger weird interface scaling effects, or it just wouldn’t join any new meeting with the screen staying stale. On firefox Bluejeans or Zoom wouldn’t do it, just Meet.
Same usage as the current Talos II: an expensive, but high-performance, open source computer system.

18-core POWER9 was competitive with AMD Zen1's Threadripper. Zen3 Threadripper is getting quite a bit faster now, so an upgrade to POWER10 would once again be cost-competitive at the $5000 price-point.
If you legally live in someone’s home, in most jurisdictions (in the US) then you have at least some rights even if you don’t pay rent.

The alternative is that one partner can abuse the other, then throw them out on the street if they wish or if the victim complains.

I think it would be better if there was a real third option, but I’m not aware of it.

Depends what you mean by hardest. Is it worse to lose 10 million dollars but still have 15 million dollars remaining to console yourself with, or is it worse to lose your job that pays $50k?

Haha, I posted it actually. I knew it would make it here again, this is where I first saw it years ago. I saw the repo get about 1k stars since and I had to disable my likes notification.
It looks like they're defining CaaS as the provider completely managing the underlying infrastructure.

> "With ACI, customers can deploy containers to Azure without managing the underlying infrastructure"

ECS was launched on 2014, but was implemented as an agent on an EC2 instance. AWS's completely managed container solution (Fargate) went GA in Nov 2017.
TBF, they also got published in an APS journal

https://journals.aps.org/prresearch/abstract/10.1103/PhysRev...

I am not an expert in this field though and have no idea about the reputation or history of that journal.
Maybe my own opinion is coloured by the fact that I live in France, where speeding cameras are very common and seem effective in reducing speeding, but fining every speeder with automatic cameras seems a better solution than citing speeders at random
> "Apple is: 'permanently restrained . . . from prohibiting developers from including in their apps . . . calls to action that direct customers to purchasing mechanisms'"

> "Even in the absence of IAP, Apple could still charge a commission on developers. It would simply be more difficult for Apple to collect that commission." (page 150)

My reading of these two statements is that you could link to your website but you'd be contractually obligated to make it possible to tell that visit came from your app so you could give Apple their cut.
That doesn’t mean they don’t make money, pay salaries, pay grants, accept grants, invest, etc. They are allowed operating reserves, pay taxes, etc. People seem to think non-profit means no money collected, that’s incorrect.

It is also within Signal’s interest that the remain competitive and achieve market success.
Hay is a grass.
> 4. If, as discussed in the article above, the anti-steering provision only applies to telling users about lower prices on other platforms, this ruling basically changes nothing for developers on the iOS platform itself.

I have a friend whose company had to remove any mention of any store, no matter how little, from their application. In his eyes this was a big win. Epic obviously thinks differently because they had bigger ideas in mind.
How Important Is Page Rank for SEO?
If two things have a causative connection they ALWAYS have a correlation as well.

If two things have a correlative connection they don't always have a causative connection as well.

I never repurposed the word equal. But to say they are not equal is highly, highly inaccurate.

Correlation does not imply causation but causation DOES imply correlation. Applying the word not equal to this is not accurate at ALL.

Seems like pedant-ism but it's not. Trust me. Correlation is evidence for causation. But people always throw this term around as if finding a correlation between two things is utterly useless in determining causation.

It's like me presenting a witness who saw a murder occur. Technically speaking, the witness is evidence for murder, not proof of murder. This fact is obvious to everyone. It's completely useless to say something obvious along the lines of:

TESTIMONY != PROOF

The testimony is strong evidence for murder, as correlation is strong evidence for causation.

Seriously, someone just posts one line CORRELATION != CAUSATION and everyone just gathers around this misnomer as if it renders the correlation utterly useless and pointless. No. The correlation is a TESTIMONY to a murder. It is powerful evidence. Do not dismiss it based off some stupid statistical catch phrase.
>This also coincided with, in my opinion, a horrible yet unsurprising decision by my former service provider (AT&T) to start locking out service for anyone who switches their SIM card to another device unless that device is on a whitelist. (Other carriers in the US such as Verizon seem to be actively restricting devices in other ways as well, so be sure to check with your carrier before swapping your SIM to a PinePhone.)

Uh, this is concerning, right? I'm not crazy for thinking this is a bad sign for the future?
> In many scenarios that we experience every day, we would be better served by accepting censure over misinformation.

No. Not at all. I refuse your premise. Not only you are begging the question here (what scenarios? Your example was terrible and I really don't think you can come up with a good one), I honestly worry more about those that believe this rhetoric than the "victims" of misinformation.

Also, it's curious how those that so easily accept censorship never think that they will eventually be on the wrong side of the taser gun.

> I agree with you in theory. But in practice this is impossible. The human brain is physically unable to work everything through from first principles.

Good thing then that this is NOT WHAT I AM SAYING.

There is no need to "work though things from first principles". The idea is NOT to determine a priori what is "right" or "safe" and then make a binary decision. The base idea is to decide on what action to take (or to refuse to take) by asking yourself what is the worst possible thing that can happen if the information I have is wrong? What are the odds of me being wrong?.

I'd suggest you get acquainted with Nassim Taleb and Joe Norman to understand better how to deal with complexity and uncertainty.

> In practice they have turned people against each other with very real and serious consequences.

Bullshit. There was no Facebook during the time of the Crusades. There was no Twitter during the Cold War and no smartphones during WW1 and WW2. None of these things would be avoidable if only we could censor wrongthink.

On the other hand, THERE ARE video records of Tienanmen Square who have been successfully hidden from an entire country for an entire generation.

(Sorry for the harsh language, but I start reading any kind of censorship-apologetic and fighting instincts kick in. If you don't see how much of a sign of being morally bankrupt it is to casually defend the hellish things like state-sponsored censorship, I see no point in continuing the "debate")
The Texas restrictions on voting, I do believe are an attempt to increase vote share for that party, I don't think that's conspiratorial because the effects are direct.

But the numbers in the last election show a shift in voter sentiment, that's all.

That Texas politicians would enact an 'abortion law' specifically to 'want fewer newcomers from California' isn't something demonstrated in that data.

I don't hold politicians in high regard, but generally they are good at populism, this approach wouldn't make any sense either pragmatically or politically.
I’m speaking hypothetically, I’m no apple app developer I have no skin in this game
I never have left something running like that, but someone else in the org had made a service that would spin a t1.micro for end users to experiment with one of our saas offerings. Iirc the instance would run for 24 hours maybe, and then shut down and delete itself. It didn't delete the ebs volume, though.

So about 6-9 months after I left I get an email, please delete these, I'm too busy to use the UI to delete these 8000 ebs volumes. I don't know how much that cost, even for the final bill month, but it took me an hour and a half to write and test the script, hour and a half to run it, and an hour for my time to get reqs and prepare an invoice.

I've managed AWS for corps that Have spends in the millions of dollars per year (and knowing how split brain org charts are, possibly millions per month) on AWS and other platforms. Actually I know it was in the millions per month range, two transcoder services were costing $250k/m. Obnoxious.
I used to eat 10g/d. Never made a lick of difference.
If the alternatives are a doctor who cares and a doctor who doesn't then the choice is clear.

But it is really difficult staying enthusiastic about treating someone, long term, who is never going to repay any extra efforts. Caring for the elderly/infirm is a really gruelling experience.

It seems quite likely that there physically are not enough doctors who have the mental stamina to do that. The options the average person faces if they can't care for themselves are going to be doctors who don't really care, or nothing.
If they just wanted a Roe test case they would have done a conventional ban. They didn't, they crafted the law to maximize the chilling effect on abortion provision even if it was later held unconstitutional by gaming the rules on preemptive review to avoid getting enjoined before being applied, so that the potential litigation burden would deter abortion and drive providers out of business before a court would block enforcement.
I’ve found that with semantic prop names + values and good documentation there is no real need for developers to play with the components. E.g. if you have a boolean property called `filled` on a button, and the mock has a filled button, a junior developer can easily figure out how to get the button to look according to the mock without any need to open the story book and play with the knobs.

The only benefits for the knobs I see is to provide a nice interface for the designers to scrutinize the system on an atomic level. However I am not a designer so I don’t know how valuable it is for them to do that through story book over exploring the actual app or a custom showcase. And if the benefits to the designers are only marginal, you have to ask if it is worth it for devs to maintain the storybook interface.
Seems needful to order one at least as a market signal.

Is this product no-kidding available right now?
The epithet of "chemical lobotomies" for antipsychotics is an appropriate analogy not just for the physical effects but also for the potential political uses.
Right, it seems like the only thing Epic won here is the right to tell customers about other possible payment methods, including being able to link to external sources in order to give that information.

Which is still a win, I suppose, but it's a very, very small win, and not that useful to Epic. I think it's potentially useful for services that have a large non-iOS presence, where buying a thing for use outside of the iOS ecosystem coincidentally allows you to use it inside the iOS ecosystem. Like, say, Netflix or HBO Max. Or maybe buying Kindle books.

Because I really don't see how Apple would successfully bill for their 30% cut if someone saw the Netflix signup screen in the iOS app, went to the Netflix website on their laptop (or even on their phone?), subscribed there, and then went back to the iOS app and signed in.

(At any rate, I think Apple is already changing this particular rule due to a ruling that happened in Japan, so maybe this is is all moot anyway.)
I’m not a lawyer, but in my state there is a legal concept of your place of residence which entitles you to certain eviction protections, regardless of ownership or lack thereof of that place.
Signal is a non-profit.

Signal also has a blog post on why they chose not to support federation: https://signal.org/blog/the-ecosystem-is-moving/

It basically boils down to being able to add features and change things without worrying about whether the federated servers keep up.
