Notice how your examples are monopolies and the government.

The government is a different beast from provate organizations (even monopolies). Governments can legally take away your freedoms, your livelihood, your life, etc. They’re there for those kinds of difficult decisions for the good of society.

But when a private company can effectively do the same thing at their own discretion? That’s not right. They’re too big for anyone’s benefit.

…at least, in my opinion. I’m sure some people disagree, and see a benefit to having unregulated megacorps with that much power.
I'm using it for some personal projects, the only catch is that you have to input your credit card (so you do not create bogus accounts), and it is limited to a subset of regions. I personally do not use the load balancer, but the "normal" VPS do 1gbps just fine. I think it is capped at 10tb/month but I am not sure about that.

In general, I can highly recommend them.
Looking at the code, it seems weird that each <input type=checkbox> has style="..." in it. Why not use a class or .input[type=checkbox] {...}
whats the solution for millions of renters that dont have access to ev stations at home though? even if the charging station is a mile away would you expect someone to walk 1 mile every charge cycle?
The evidence for NIAID complicity at the highest levels in funding illegal research is already public record. The evidence for repeated lies from top health officials is already public record. The attempt to silence and shame those who pointed to lab leak by the very people most invested in the research program is already public record. I could go on. None of this has been sufficient to raise the public wrath.

I'm not holding my breath for the future 'tell-alls'. There are too many incentives and disincentives for the major players.
Sure. Centralization could probably be avoided by storing the index in a DHT or something.
Title is misleading.

If Apple was interested in banning the Quran, they wouldn’t have just done it in China.

The CCP forced apple to remove the Quran from the Chinese App Store.
It is illegal, at least from the point of view of the GDPR which is what these pop ups are supposed to comply with.

You could argue that the artificial delay is implemented as a way to dissuade people from declining which would fail the idea that data processing consent should be freely given (you can’t force people to opt-in).

You could also argue that even if there was a legitimate technical reason for the delay then it wouldn't be compliant because it would prove that data processing is enabled by default before the user opts-in (otherwise the delay should be on opt-in and opt-out should be instant as it's essentially a no-op).

Here are the ICO’s guidelines on the subject - you’ll see that this TrustArc trash fails on multiple points: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protectio...

TrustArc essentially provides "breaching the GDPR as a service" and their continued existence proves the incompetence of the data/privacy regulators in all EU countries.
I second this comment. The above tutorial and link is a very good reference, and I believe that flexbox these days is really the only thing you'd need to learn to position things with CSS. And other than positioning, I feel that CSS for styling is much simpler and straightforward.

You’d be surprised about how many developers can’t and also don’t want to handle setting things up. But I’m not judging them. Docker stuff can get complicated quickly.
The problem with spyware is that it stalks you regardless of whether you give “business” to the site or not.

He appears to not be a Chinese citizen. Foreigners are banned from engaging in a whole lot of religion-adjacent activities in China, including publishing religious texts. http://www.gov.cn/gongbao/content/2000/content_60501.htm Article 17, item 6.
Video description from the channel author:

YouTube currently has a problem with scammer bot comments appearing on countless amounts of channels, especially those in the investing and finance niche.

And unfortunately, we've been the target of these scammers too. So, I decided to do some investigating and confront my scammers/imposters face-to-face.

The author discovers a third-party tool for removing spam and scammer comments that proves fairly effective.

I think it's fair to ask: how is YouTube, with all it's tech and programming resources, unable to solve the problem of spam, bots and impersonator comments? And yet a third-party tool is able to tackle the same problem more effectively than YouTube?
Ah, but the only necessary bits are the hardware firmware not macOS itself.
The other messed up part of the law is that the people who crafted it expressly recognize its illegality, that’s why they created a ridiculous bounty system to enforce it.
I'm split brain on this.

Our War on Terror has been a complete clown show, policy disaster, absolutely made things worse.

And yet, I'm at a loss for why there haven't been more attacks.

Could it be true that "fight them over there so we don't have to fight them here" and programs like the drone strikes are actually effective?

Are we decapitating terrorists org before they can become effective?

Was putting Saudi govt's nuts in a vice sufficient to stop them from funding follow on efforts?

Are our vassal states doing all the dirty work for us, taking all the hits?

Surely someone, somewhere knows these answers.

So here's my point:

In any of the scenarios where some kind of mass surveillance of foreign actors is necessary or useful, I cannot imagine a system or regiment where that does not bleed into domestic surveillance.

Which has been the whole argument from the beginning. Turf, jurisdictions, distinction between domestic and abroad, etc.

If our counter terrorism has been completely moot, then ya, scrap the whole system. But if its actually been working, then I'm not ready to pull the plug without some kind of plan.
Show HN: Produpedia.org – Lists of Everything
I have always felt that nice, filterable lists of data tailored to non-technical users is severely lacking in the web of linked data. This is an attempt at filling this gap.

Produpedia takes the sophisticated RDF tuples of DBpedia[1] and somewhat dumbs it down to tables of different categories. This allows for fine-grained search configs, easily shareable by URL. E.g. "List of Grand Prixs on the Nürburgring"[3], also linked on the main page.

Some more details are explained on the site itself.

Side note:
What I would ultimately like to build - as a 2.0 verison, if you will - is an Open Data Product search engine with community edits, a free alternative to common commercial ones like Google Shopping, as in a blend of Geizhals.eu and Wikipedia. DBpedia and Wikidata[2] datasets (both related to Wikipedia infoboxes) are not very useful in regards to actual "products", so this is a first step towards that goal. If you think this sounds interesting, want to contribute or have an idea, please contact me!

While everything the author writes makes sense to me, I think the kind of security threats he focuses on aren't the main concern for most people.

What % of Android devices have their bootloader unlocked or root enabled? Or have the ability to enable signature spoofing for MicroG? I doubt that malware targeting such weaknesses would be economically profitable to develop, considering also that the typical hardcore user is less likely to just install random Play Store or unverified APKs .

This seems a list of security weaknesses against _targeted_ attacks - the inclusion of "evil maid" attacks is exemplary. If somebody gains physical access to my phone, by far the greatest risk to me is that they will steal it and immediately wipe it, not that they will install bootloader malware and put it back.

So yeah, if you're e.g. a professional user and might be the target of industrial espionage, follow the author's advice to the T (going with GrapheneOS or not depends on whether your company trusts Google with your business data). Graphene > Google > Lineage > Linux. If you just don't want to have your personal data tracked by Google and want better control over the apps you install, Graphene > Lineage > Linux > Google.
I agree with you for the begining, but this part:

> The fact that the entire clade has a root in October 2019 (and we can see this even because the first viruses sequenced differed by only one or two mutations from their common ancestor) indicates that there was not slow community spread before the initiation of the pandemic period. There is no weaker progenitor virus.

is hard for me to understand.

Rural China in not rural USA. At all.
I've hiked for a month in the Appalachian, another one in the Sierras, and spent two month in rural China. Rural china is as i used to imagine rural Africa.

Rural china have two particularities: young, probably younger than you imagine. You have villages with a median age of 15, with no middle-aged inhabitants. And enclaved. You have villages where you have to use a jeep (that the village do not own) to get to.

Is it possible, in you opinion, to have an early SRAS-Cov2 infecting a village, festing on the people for weeks or even months, then a parent coming back for his yearly vacations, getting infected, then going back to work in Wuhan?

I'm not a biologist, so i don't understand how viruses works, but i _know_ rural China (and rural europe, and rural USA.)

What is the difference with ‘we’re used to it’? The things you describe also apply to the flu, yet no one would consider requiring vaccination cards for that. It just turns out there already are beds for people that get that because we are used to it.
I think we are long past "short" anything related to COVID. It is now clearly endemic and will persist indefinitely. People need to make their own decisions on how to protect themselves and get on with their lives.
Not sure how much to trust an article where most key data comes from National Assoc of Convenience Stores. The data at http://blog.opisnet.com/retail-gasoline-price-margins?hs_amp... looks more reliable and data-driven and discusses gross margins of 10 to 40+ cents per gal.
I think it’s most appropriate to compare vs “tanked for a given/defined range (including reserves)” rather than fully tanked. Airliners are rarely flown with full tanks, because that’s rarely needed. (Tanks are often sized for maximum ferry missions rather than maximum cabin load missions.)
Try whatever it is you want as a side gig first. I've known a lot of humanities focused individuals from school, and by and large, they struggle mightily to find work and jobs to fill the hours. Many get part time side gig like work and live a meager existence. Others give up and look for something lucrative. And if you're passionate about those subjects as a mere hobby, side gigging will teach you whether you can actually make a career from it, before you leave tech.

A word of warning, the nice jobs in your target fields are very very hard to get, you'll probably struggle to compete if you're not focused on writing and humanities since school. You may shoot your resume into fifty black holes before anyone gives you the time of day, probably because every opening gets hundreds of resumes for something like Literature Critic or Staff Writer.

In the end, that's all prudence allowing you to keep your lucrative tech job while experimenting. But if you really can't stomach tech, maybe you should try a hybrid idea. Get into tech journalism or writing about tech first, and then use that stepping stone to write about whatever else later on.

Good luck!!
This is an interesting contrarian take on the safety of high-BSL labs which conduct gain of function research.

The article describes safety errors at a lab at the University of Wisconsin, resulting in:

- accidental flooding of the lab's high containment suite
- incomplete protective gear worn during a spill of an avian respiratory virus (not CoV-2)
- a lab tech quarantining at home after a needlestick injury rather than at a dedicated facility on-site

I don't know that I agree with the author's risk assessment at the end of the article but I feel that the overview of safety breaches justified my reading time.
Too cold. The chimp troupe cant really fight in those temperatures for more than 10 minutes a day. An eskimo army is the way to go but they are busy.
The kid is a US citizen and doesn't know any language other than English. Depending on the home country that might be a huge huge obstacle for the kid.

I'm fascinated by this field - ultimately all 2D color pickers show a slice of a 3D structure and we use one dimension (usually brightness) to navigate through the Z axis of this structure.

I don't understand the downvotes. This is a legitimate distinction.
Android gives each installed app a unique userid and groupid. Do phone Linuxs do that.

I was given an Adderall by a friend and I experienced similar cognitive benefit as you, but I didn't crash at all.

That said, I didn't see what would be the benefit of taking Adderall consistently, given I could achieve similar results with adrafinil, various racetams, and other nootropic drugs.
A good strategy is to dip your toes in first, then plunge when you feel the moment is right and you get the sense that you are good at it (music, literature etc.).

Work on whatever interests you part time / on weekends / before or after work, and if you feel you are having some traction with it, then proceed with the plunge.

The risk with taking the plunge immediately is that if you won't be good enough at whatever you choose to do, then you will be even further demotivated.
Not sure about the ePrivacy directive but this flow would be in breach of the GDPR and I’m pretty sure you have to comply with both.
I haven't made the transition but know a few creatives— some of whom hold down other jobs (including my wife). I think the standard advice is to try it as a hobby instead of taking the plunge. See if you can make it work at any scale.

There is also a real chance that you won't like it as a full-time career, and there are myriad reasons why. Some personal (e.g. loneliness) others environmental (e.g. politics). A career in tech has issues, to be sure, but so does a career in any other field.

If you like the data you gather in the experimental phase then take the plunge.
Don't forget what makes COVID19 so insidious: without testing, it takes time before an infected contagious person shows symptoms. By the time they decide to stay off public spaces, they have already potentially spread the virus.

With the common flu, you know almost instantly so you stay home to recover.

Fat people know their condition and it's their choice to eat fast food anyway. And obesity is also non contagious.
No, you don't understand. That's only the second half of the objection.

The first half of the objection is that "most rapists are people you know" just does not imply that a person you know is more dangerous than a stranger. It implies that the entire class of "people you know" causes more rapes than the entire class of strangers you have substantial contact with, but it doesn't imply that a single person from the first class is more dangerous than a single person from the second class, because the classes are of different sizes.

I'm pretty sure that more people are killed by slipping in the bathtub than by falling into a volcano. You should not conclude that falling into a volcano is safer than slipping in a bathtub, because people encounter bathtubs a lot more and you have not corrected your figures for frequency of encounters.
Inflation causes inflation due to behavioral changes induced by the fear of inflation. It’s a snowball effect, so the answer to your question is, only time will tell.
Epidemiological studies in general are flawed and hard to trust due to omitted variables that you don't know about, p-hacking and publication bias making it difficult or impossible to interpret causality. You say "of course" as if it's a foregone conclusion that the results should be trusted and the authors have done a good job, when the default should be disbelief and scepticism in this particular approach unless shown otherwise with unusually strong results. I only have a positive reaction and belief by default in large scale RCTs. Epidemiological studies have not earned the benefit of the doubt. At best they are indications of future experimental research directions, i.e. they are a means to an end.

I've worked in academic applied statistics research and seen how the cookie crumbles, it's not pretty, and yes there are groups and industries of people who may be individually intelligent but nevertheless act like idiots given the incentives they face to churn out low-effort publications. Search for "hegemony" or "Fuzzy neural net Dow Jones" in Google Scholar to see 140 IQ people mass produce drivel. Just because I am not trained in medicine doesn't mean I am not allowed to draw this conclusion, I have years of experience in statistics and know a bullshit application of these tools when I see it, and I don't appreciate appeals to authority or other arguments that try to invalidly shut down people's opinions without knowing why those opinions were formed in the first place.
This isn't a randomized controlled trial, so I wouldn't put much stock in the results, although it should provide a catalyst for further study (if it hasn't already).
The solution is more slow and fast chargers everywhere. I think these ones are clever:

What Tesla does: Co-locate fast DC chargers at grocery stores (Meijer, Kroger, some Targets, etc). You charge when you go grocery shopping, and the shopping trip typically takes longer than the charge (in my experience).

This is a stop gap until legislation requires EV charging be provided at apartments and workplaces (similar to handicap parking mandates).
Have you tried adrafinil at any point, or any other nootropic drugs?
I wouldn't be surprised if they're already on this. On the highway, I don't recall ever seeing a pitstop that didn't have both a gas station and a McDonalds.

I realize that is anecdotal since I haven't been to all that many pitstops. But the competition for pitstop restaurant space is pretty clear.

Skimming the article [0], it looks like they compared outcomes of people who lived closer to the road against people who lived farther away from the road, in the same building.

I think the idea is that people living in the same building should all have roughly the same particulate and pollution exposure, but people living on a road-facing side of the building will have more exposure to road noise. It's an extremely clever study design.

There's no playbook for how to transition to the arts from CS afaik. Society will think you are weird etc for wanting to do that..."there's no money in it"

I see you’re first point, that’s probably accurate. But I think on the second point the common enemy to fight would quickly become the entire country of China (in the eyes of many in the US at least), and there would be massive public pressure for war, or antagonism of some kind (economic, political, social) that could escalate to war. And that has the potential to be much more devastating than the pandemic. So I think the first point you make about the merits of increased scrutiny have to be balanced against the dangers of potential war.
