Most of the notices are implemented in such a way that the tracking is enabled by default and clicking "decline" in the notice sets a cookie saying "opt out" to all the trackers (whose effectiveness is probably equivalent to the "evil bit" in IPv4).

Blocking the notice (or ignoring it) is technically equivalent to opting in. Of course, if you're using a competent ad blocker it's likely that the trackers themselves were also blocked, making this a non-issue.
I don't think I understand the division you're drawing. Is it that information on how to do something cannot be dangerous but a system that does something can be? (But what Open AI shut down was the latter.) Is it that if something is dangerous we call it a weapon, while otherwise we call it a technology? (But then you're just playing no true Scotsman.)
Those are two different measurements.

You have:
1. Chance of getting a disease
2. Chance of dying from said disease once acquired

Both have numerous factors that affect the result.

> And public transportation won't be viable in the US until cities finally wrap their head around the reality that you need basic security checkpoints at entrances to discourage riff raff from getting in (like in China).

It seems like you're in SF. The bad experiences you have had there do not generalize to all other cities. I've lived in several US and foreign cities that have safe public transit without security checkpoints. Omnipresent security forces shouldn't be necessary if other city and state services are functional.
I'm very happy with OsmAnd+ on Android. I'm not sure which server(s) are being used by the app when it downloads the map data, but the transfer rate from the server leaves much to be desired. It's probably a significant burden to host the entire collection, both in terms of storage space and in available bandwidth.

So I can see how hosting the data as a series of torrents would help make this more sustainable. But it's a bit silly to implement an entire torrent stack inside a web browser just to display a few static image tiles...
People who moved for the money likely went to FAANG instead.

While technically true, this is not how most 3D animation software models light — even if it (roughly) models Rayleigh scattering in solids, like opal or ground glass.

In all realistic rendering software, skylight and sun (or other celestial bodies, like Moon) are modeled as separate sources of light, with different light characteristics.

> It started with masks. The studies that we had about masks really were not great, but they did a risk-reward calculation behind closed doors: worst case scenario, the surgical masks don't impact the spread and it changes nothing; best case scenario, we reduce community spread. The problem with this is that if they told the public that this was how they were thinking about the problem, they wouldn't get people wearing the masks, so they overstated their confidence in it when speaking to the public. A good amount of people truly believe that the science was clear. But it wasn't.

Inaccurate and dangerously wrong conjecture. Research published long before COVID-19 proved the efficacy of masking in blocking particulate matter. That's why terms like N95 even exist.

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-72798-7

That study came out last year, but there are similar studies published many years ago. I don't have time to google for them all right now, but they are out there for those who want to find them.

The science on masking was clear and your statement is irresponsible.
It's difficult to believe that there are cultures where calling people "vicious liars, greedy soulless fucks" is meant to be a light, playful comment.

And just to be that overly pedantic nit-picker, when most people refer to the "STL" today, they are really talking about the C++ Standard Library[1], which is related to and based on the conventions of the old-school Standard Template Library (STL), but a different thing. When you #include <vector> on most modern development platforms, you are not using the actual historic STL implementation.

I condemn doxing in principle. But if it’s out there once, it’s out there. To try to stuff the genie back only harms those who lack the information, regardless of intent.

I moved from PulseAudio to SnapCast for streaming audio over my local network as it was easier to configure multiple sinks for multi-room audio.

It looks as though there is support for similar with PipeWire, with the ROC sink and ROC source modules[0][1]. I'm going to have to set aside some time to have a poke around with this and see how it performs.

gcc has been shoving warnings into -Wall or -Wextra that actually belong to a linter for years, for example -Wmisleading-indentation.

Bug free software that compiles warning free has to be updated because of the stylistic preferences of some RedHat person practically with every new gcc release.

For KPI harvesting developers of course "fixing" non-issues is financially attractive.
You can also statically link libc++. Not much of a binary size increase from static linking because most is template headers.
For offices, typically a utilities bill (with your name and address on it) will suffice. Voting only requires a voting card which is sent to your address. Registration to vote is mandatory and requires your National Insurance number, but the penalty for not registering is small (a fine of £80 IIRC) and rarely enforced.
There is nothing wrong with -Werror, if you control the exact set of diagnostics!

The problem are the "surprise me!" warning options (-Wall, -Wextra) of GCC which bring in diagnostics which differ from version to version. So then with -Werror, the language has become a moving target: what is considered a bad construct that stops the translation is changing.

The problem with not using -Wall and -Werror and just specifying the exact diagnostics you want, together with -Werror, is that you don't benefit from the discovery of defects brought about by new diagnostic options.

The fix for that is to have an ongoing thread of activity in your project dedicated to exploring new compiler options (supported by a special build configuration).

If I want to shoot myself in the foot I should have full rights and the ability to do so.

In a normal coding however modern C++ is very reasonable language and I do not recall stepping onto any landmines in a last few years even though my code runs high load / high performance business servers that also do a lot of calculations.
BART existing at all puts it ahead of the majority of cities in the US (for reference, per capita San Fansisco has the second most trips on public transit of any city in the US). New York is the only US city that has comparable public transit to international contemporaries.

Long decades of poor planing in the US (and in general the low population density) make it a place ill-suited to public transportation. EVs affordable enough for the poor will definitely be required here, so here’s hoping you’re right and we’ll reach that point soon.

> everyone needs to take the vaccine

This is simply not true, anyone who claims this is ignoring a vast body of scientific evidence supporting the fact that individuals who’ve recovered from previous infection will be at least as well protected as vaccinated individuals against reinfection.

If you were to say “most people who don’t already have natural immunity ought to be vaccinated” that would be a much more sensible recommendation, in-line with general scientific consensus (and public health policies in other countries).
The delay is not specific to Starbucks' implementation. Every TrustArc popup has such a delay.

Considering everything else about it also screams bad faith, I think it's a deliberate tactic to train people to click "accept" on these so they can then boast about how their "consent" management platform provides better conversion, which in turn somewhat justifies the salaries of the oxygen wasters in the marketing/advertising departments.
Seroquel at low doses is hardly an antipsychotic. At higher doses it blocks the receptors that are associated with AP efficacy, and at that point, the negative extrapyramidal side effects start being felt.

Probably a bit. Monomorphization is expensive in terms of code size. On the other hand - why would you care for a couple of 100kb for a use case like transmission?
This is worth keeping in mind, but the real issue is the pressure on the optimizer and linker rather than size IMO.
It did for me. I switched from Pulse to PipeWire and my bluetooth headphones started working right away. Quite the experience.
>Privacy conscious people object. Now the response is, hey, you already have to show your driving license if you get pulled over for speeding, what's the difference?

The main objections to vaccine passports in England aren't privacy, they're that it discriminates against those who refuse to get vaccinated.

>And you don't have to show your vaccine passport if you, um, never go outside again.

You'd have to show your vaccine passport if you want to partake in proportionately high risk activities where you not only have risk to yourself, but you also pose a risk to others. And it's [almost] always places you have to take ID anyway, to prove your age.

Why should those who chose to not do the socially responsible thing of getting vaccinated, get to amplify the risk to those who do?
> In 2015 18.6% and in 2018 15.9% of respondents admitted to misusing stimulants for non-medical reasons

I read the 2018 study. It should be noted that the 15.9% who reported using stimulants was for lifetime use. Of those 15.9%, 37% hadn't used them even once in the past year, and 47% had used them 1-9 times in the past year.

This is a huge difference from 25% of students using "1-7X/week" like in the tweet. 1-7X a week would put them into the 50+ in the past year category, which in this study was 3% of the 15.9% of lifetime users, or 0.4% overall. Two orders of magnitude less.
Ask HN: How do you hire designers?
I'm a first time founder with a backend engineering background. We are looking to improve our UI/UX since everyone on the team has an infrastructure background.

The options can think of are:

1) Hire a full time designer who only produces sketches. I think this is a bit too expensive for us at this stage (3-4 person startup) but I'm open to dissenting opinions.

2) Hire a UI/UX developer who can do design + code in our react stack.

3) Outsource design sketches to a contracting firm, and have a separate frontend developer.

Which approach has worked best in your experiences? I prefer (2) but have no idea how hard it is to hire someone who can do both design + front end code.

Open to anything, UI is our main blocker to launch right now.

That explains the massive number of terror attacks we’ve seen in London then.

The most effective way we reduced terror attacks in the past was with negotiated peace in Northern Ireland. Effectiveness of attacks was also reduced with physical security like cast iron/concrete bollards making truck bombs (or more recent developments like driving a van into lots of people) harder. Terror attacks in the U.K. today tend to come from poorly organised Islamists and neo-nazis who don’t really do significant amounts of harm (but maybe you would disagree with me on that—the IRA were mostly interested in harming property rather than people unlike today’s attackers) and I’m not really suggesting negotiated peace here. I suspect that increased prosperity (and people being optimistic about their futures) in the U.K. and perhaps certain places abroad would reduce attacks but obviously that is hard to achieve and any effect is hard to measure.

Perhaps technology companies and encryption would be a bigger deal if terrorists were more competent but at the moment their opsec seems poor with many foiled plots (apparently—maybe these plots were exaggerated or never really viable) and only minor successes.

Yes, American public transport and city design does indeed suck — I am not an American, but I have visited for a total of 4 months, used public transport in NYC, Boston, Bay Area, and the SanFran-Davis-Sacremento line — but here in Berlin there aren’t even ticket barriers, and nothing particularly exciting happens here even from the homeless person[0] who begged on my pre-COVID commute. Some fairly fancy busking from time to time, but that’s the peak of excitement.

When one corrects for obesity, this usually goes away. Put it another way, American obesity and metabolic disease can almost entirely account for the gap.

Regulation prevents market forces from correcting the gap. For example, insurance cannot charge higher premiums based on weight or lifestyle health status.

It is a common mistake what you're doing by
generalizing it out of the original scope, which is only performance wise. Any other aspect you might think is not encompassed into the original zero cost abstraction concept.

They all want to partake in the spying, that's the central issue for countries like Germany. It's the same across all of the 5|9|14 eyes groups of nations. They know exactly what the bargain is that they're accepting. They all know exactly what they're doing. No modern nation is so naive. Nobody else comes close to the global spying capabilities of the US, the other eyes nations all know that and they all want access to it.

Germany has been knowingly helping to make the US global spying capabilities more potent for most of the post WW2 era.

If you're Germany what you do is take whatever limited corrective counter measures that you can and attempt to improve the security of Merkel's communications, while seeking to maintain continued access to the US global spying machine.
