So MS turned Windows into the device OEM bloatware infested version of stock Android, combined with Google level tracking. Nice. I guess corporate customers are treated different, at least my commercial Windows liscense and my work-laptop has no bloatware worth mentioning.
Yeah, not all businesses were well-prepared for a sudden WFH transition like this. At my employer, we were already doing limited WFH (one day a week) and productivity & satisfaction increased broadly for full WFH, but I know that doesn't generalize and some particular people had individual issues (e.g. it's hard to work on stuff that requires focus while small children want your attention).

At the same time, used cars are ones that have already taken that depreciation hit and prices eventually plateu (or even inflate regardless of condition if its a desirable car like an old porsche or a 2000s toyota land cruiser). I bet you could drive a $9000 used corolla for three years and sell it for $9000 afterwards, and it would have to be close to death for that car to ever be worth less than $5000, which is like the baseline for a used car without major mechanical issues.

the high tech industry in Israel is not that big. If you look at the companies that make COTS microwave and millimeter wave telecommunications equipment, they're not too different from the other .IL companies which make advanced radar systems, jammers, and avionics for aircraft.

I can’t edit the comment, but this provides some more detail on Lions Mane. Also note that it is not a psychedelic mushroom.

“ The evidence so far has shown that H. erinaceus mycelium enriched with its active compounds is capable of delaying neuronal cell death in rats with neurodegenerative diseases, such as ischemic stroke, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and depression. Moreover, results have indicated that administration of H. erinaceus mycelia enriched with its active compounds can promote functional recovery and enhance nerve regeneration in rats with neuropathic pain or presbycusis. Despite that more clinical research is needed to fully understand the potential applications of erinacine-enriched Hericium erinaceus mycelium, the majority of preclinical data strongly suggests that it is safe and offers much-needed neuroprotective applications.”

Well for me it's a personal problem regarding lack of real world intimacy vs. porn. I'm not saying porn is bad. I am thankful it exists and not censored, it's my outlet. I have tried to not use it/stop but I am not really able to function/focus without that 5 min pit stop a night. The avoidance of saving content for me is trying to not enforce the fixation on a particular woman or shape or whatever... but yeah I'm still a guy so the urge is still there always.

Anyway there is so much out there/so much new stuff being generated, I personally would rather watch new things than see old stuff... granted I understand some scenes may be favorites, that kind of thing... I know I have my own fetishes ha.

That is interesting about the training comment, I have thought about that because I want to make sure the code I run is trustworthy so I would rather train/host it myself... and yeah you need data.

I like functional code, except that because the use of lambdas is awkward to "escape" them:

nums.iter().map(|x| if x > 10 break(?))

This little thing is the major problem of functional chains (this is only a toy version of the issue). Because lambdas are inside the scope is hard to make them truly part of the current execution flow.

So, sometimes I change a chain of iterators to simpler loops for things like this. IF iterators where part of current scope, it will look far more natural, IMHO...

Free markets are when people are free to trade with whoever they want to, at the price they both freely agree to.

It does not include the right to harm others or enslave them. Enslaving people obviously prevents them from having the right to trade freely.

Not sure you can really blame android, when Android allows Firefox as a first class replacement for Chrome and with ease for the user, whereas iOS doesn't even allow the real Firefox.

iOS is a very important platform for Firefox, so apples anti-competitive behavior in this regard really undermines firefox's future.

So what's going on here? Did some record company reissue the song later on CD, so YouTube is treating it like it was released at a later date than it was?

Google probably should compile a list of public domain recordings to act as a blacklist for YouTube copyright claims. Maybe that should even be legal a requirement for such automatic enforcement systems. If they partner with some library or national archive, such a project could help with media preservation efforts.

Even just basic hyperlinking would have to be heavily restricted.

For example...

1. Cross origin hyperlinks would have to be completely disabled
2. Same-origin URLs would need all url information (query params, path, etc) to remain completely client-side. The only thing transmitted to the server would be the base domain.

It's interesting to think about, at least.
Yes, unfortunately Synapse is possibly one of the worst apps i've ever sysadmin'd for, and I'm not even the primary sysadmin for my homeserver.

> I have nothing to hide

Don't underestimate the value of privacy. How much (or little) you have to hide is something worth hiding. It's what you do and don't know, do and don't say, do and don't communicate with, this is all important to keep private by default.

There's a tendency for individuals to assume the role of would-be criminal in these discussions. It's more correct to assume criminals exist on all sides, do you have any interest in enabling a corrupt government to surveil its law-abiding citizens? When you don't have privacy, you enable potential criminals in power to see if the populace is aware of their actions, or absolutely distracted by instagram. We're all potential witnesses to crimes, and at this point it's exceedingly likely we'd communicate those observations via smartphones. We all require privacy and secure communications, full stop.
Ask HN: Favourite affordable log analysis platform?
Would love to hear about people's favourite, affordable log analysis platform!

At my current company we use GCP Logging - it's cheap, but ad-hoc log analysis is very awkward. i.e. you can filter to logs easily, but doing "group by/count" type things is painful, not something you can easily do ad-hoc. You basically have to export the logs to BigQuery, or create metrics from the logs (which helps going-forwards, but isn't good for analyzing past logs where you lack existing metrics). Overall, doesn't really fit our needs for flexible, ad-hoc log analysis.

At my past company, we used Sumo Logic. It was amazing - they have their own query language that's similar to SQL, with incredible text processing capabilities, so good at ad-hoc log analysis. However ... it's VERY expensive. My current company is a smaller startup, with a lot of logs, and it's simply not in our price range.

Would love to find something similar to Sumo Logic, but much cheaper.

I seriously doubt Walmart assistant managers are getting anywhere near that level of benefits. I can't find any data on how much Walmart pays out in benefits, but you see to be pretty familiar with how much Walmart pays so please share.

> How much is a secure but low paying job worth? Besides, once you're an assistant manager, you probably have decent job security if you don't fuck up.

I know a bunch of teachers and a few principals and all of them across the board have said it's impossible to be fired as a teacher after the probationary period. I don't know any assistant managers at Walmart, but I've known a few front line managers at retail chains and they were always anxious about hitting their numbers.

According to another comment on this page by the GP,

>> ownership of digital products

>There is no such thing. Data is just bits. Really big numbers. Asserting ownership over numbers is simply delusional.

I'm a musician working on an album at home at the moment. It's a bit odd to hear I'm delusional, or worse, "simply delusional", for thinking that the music I'm making will be in some sense mine! Maybe I should go back to painting, where I'm making an object at least, and maybe not so delusional in the eyes of the GP, not just numbers? Not sure.

p.s. I want to put "my" music on Bandcamp. Jazz and latin stuff mostly. The Australian music licensing org APRA/AMCOS informs me for 3 or more songs, I should pay them a flat fee of $300 per year to cover the licence fees, then more if I sell more than a few hundred. Seems like a lot, to put songs I performed online, but maybe I can just tell them no, that asserting ownership over numbers is simply delusional, there's this guy on Hacker News..

Hmm come to think of it, money in a bank is just numbers..

Are you suggesting that states should go into lockdown because people were too stupid to get vaccinated?

I am all for taking measurements to keep those to young to get vaccinated safe, but I draw a line with unvaccinated adults who have had every opportunity to get vaccinated. Those with an actual medical condition are a separate case, but I see no reason to take any actions to protect those who deliberately chose not to be vaccinated.

For the record, I am also of the opinion that we should prioritize everyone else in triage over unvaccinated covid patients.

Easy way I found is to admit the fact that we kill a lot of life just to live a day, and hope it was/is/will be worth it.

Else I might kill myself, except it is not allowed by my animal programming, which is out of my control, so I go back to that hoping phase.

I also wonder what’s the problem with killing sentient animals while we also kill fellow humans when “necessary”. We kill for our little ego, so let’s just keep fingers crossed that the sacrifices we force are worth something.

Maybe this is a bit Buddhism centric but it takes off my mental loads a bit.

Why wouldn't the Israeli government tolerate them? If anything, doesn't their government benefit from groups like this?
