Perhaps immunity wasn't the right word. Protection may have been a better term. People's second cases aren't as bad as their first, in general, because their body's immune system is better able to respond after a first infection.

Covid-19 will not going away. It can be expected to be transmitted like other endemic coronaviruses, and not be a big deal for most people. Children in the future will catch it, like they do other common cold coronaviruses, and they will grow into protected adults.

This explanation does not explain why neither Google nor Apple allow you to change the wake word.

Myself, I believe any technical reason, if it actually exists, is a secondary factor - the primary reason is branding. They don't want people changing wakewords, because as long as everyone uses the same, "Ok Google" and "Siri" are terms/brands.

This is an ad blog post by a VPN company against their competition.

But the points it makes are all very true. You shouldn’t trust VPN companies. They all seem super sketchy.
You misunderstand. Lending is what makes a bank. When a bank (in the US) lends, it is creating new money that didn’t exist before due to fractional reserve requirements.

If you made a loan you’d effectively have a 100% reserve requirement to do so, while a bank currently needs 0% backing in deposits. You cannot make new money.
Extortion fees? Netflix wanted Comcast to provide them with free bandwidth. While some ISPs may appreciate that arrangement as it offloads the traffic from their transit links, Comcast is under no obligation to do so.

You could argue then that Comcast wasn't upgrading their saturated transit links, which they weren't with Level 3, but to assume that every single ISP should provide free pipes to companies is absurd.
Beyond the really elementary things that get repeated often enough and insistently enough for most people to learn them whether they're interested or not -- basic reading, basic writing, addition and subtraction -- yes, as far as I can tell most people don't retain much from school. Not for long, anyway. It's easy to think otherwise if you're (for example) an engineer surrounded by unusually studious people in your day-to-day life, but standardized tests administered more broadly give a less encouraging picture.
Ironically this is the exact point criticised by the article.

Namely people's preference for pseudoscientifically presented factoids of arbitrary provenance over more fruitful, curated discussions in more approachable, honest language.

> How about this: what is "OpenJDK"? It used to be an independent open-source clone

Please educate yourself before spreading misinformation on this forum.

OpenJDK is not a "clone", a "fork", or some other re-implementation of the Oracle JDK. It's the other way around. OpenJDK IS the source code for the Java Virtual Machine and standard library. All binary distributions are based on this source.

Some binary distributions are freely available. Others include additional proprietary tools, or commercial support or whatever, and require paid licensing. But these all derive from the some common upstream.

You are painting a picture that is equivalent to saying that the Linux source code is a "clone" of RedHat Enterprise Linux. That is not accurate whatsoever.
I basically read it as:

“Since it’s founding the US has never been a welfare state in any sense. Change my mind!”
P2P doesn't offer as many experience consistency guarantees and in general adds a lot of complexity (=cost) that doesn't exist in a client server model. Even if you went full bore on P2P you still have to maintain a significant portion of the centralized infrastructure both to seed new content as well as for clients that aren't good P2P candidates (poor connections, limited asymmetric connections, heavily limited data connections). Once you got through all of those technical issues even if you found you could overall save cost by reducing the core infrastructure... it rides on the premise customers are going to be fine with their devices using their upload (both active bandwidth and total data) at the same price as when it was a hosted service.

But yes I imagine licensing is definitely an issue too. Right now only certain shows can be saved offline to a device and only for very restricted periods of time for the same reason. It's also worth noting in many cases Netflix doesn't pay for bandwidth.
The poor would be paying more taxes if their income had tracked productivity gains and GDP growth. Instead it substantially went to the 0.5%.

Agreed. I've come to view partial application as the original coder saying "I guarantee you'll never need to inspect or modify this parameter from now on." Obviously, that's rarely true in practice.

What about partial application of named parameters?

Someone once told me that no one gives a shit about your IP until you start making money.

If you start making money, then people will remember one of the following: a) your patent is invalid because they discovered it before you or b) they helped you with your discovery and they deserve a slice.
Caching is left off for simplicity.

I think part of the motivation is to provide standalone apps for people that don't have gmail accounts because they're using hotmail/yahoo/some overseas equivalent.

Like you say, the old experience was great if you use gmail. Now the new split out messages thing is annoying for gmail users, but not tied to a google account. I think their strategy is to break things up into individual lowest common denominator services (like whatsapp), instead of having something that is pretty good at several things, but not the dominant product for any of them.
This is a very old idea; see, for instance, the “Aunt Hillary” character from Gödel, Escher, Bach (written in 1979).
How to get into corporate research/dev ML positions?
Tl;dr - I've been a dev for about 4 years now. The work is not too interesting - just implement APIs here and there for customers that use our product with other CRMs. I want to move to a non-customer centric role that is into publishing papers + applying ML. I already do materials ML research part-time for a top 20 CS university, but I want to do it so that I get paid while doing it (e.g. OpenAI-like groups). I've applied to OpenAI 2-3 times already and have gotten into the 2nd round interviews to get rejected. Sort of over them.

What are some companies/roles you could recommend?
"wearing leather harnesses and chaining each other up" is a bit different than just wearing a leather harness in public. But also how hard is it to just be civilized when you're in public? I don't need you to wear a suit and tie, but at least have some decency.
The point stands. Even 2.4M deaths is not a reasonable trade off vs people just taking a safe, free, and available vaccine.
Causing trouble is work, of sorts.

But perhaps it would be clearer if restated as, "50% of impact in a domain can be attributed to square root the number of people in that domain".
It's the same thing with a gunshot, you have been shot in the heart, but you died due to lack of oxygen in your brain, and thus you did not die of a gunshot wound
The rioters you mention are remote teleconference zombies. There are those that can stop them with only relatively small effort - ISPs and less directly transit providers, but it is against their interests.

Perhaps a better analogy may be robocalls with spoofed numbers.
I've always wondered why they didn't just clone Apple Messages? Instead, they've done this seemingly random walk though the space and accomplished very little. Is it because Apple supports Messages through hardware sales and Google requires an advertising model?

And things like non-encrypted RCS seems downright negligent. I don't know how anybody at Google working on this stuff can be proud of what they do. From the outside, it's a mess and I'd be surprised if internally things look much better.
That's not P2P in quite the same sense of the above was talking about. Chromecast is client/server it's just your device can become the server or instruct the Chromecast to connect to a certain server.
We actually try really, really hard not to blast 400Gb/s at a single client. The 400Gb/s is in aggregate.

Our transport team is working on packet pacing, or really packet spreading, so that any bursts we send are small enough to avoid being dropped by the client, or an intermediary (cable modem, router, etc).
Ask HN: How do you use zero-trust mesh networks in a business setting?
I've been reading about the different zero-trust networking solutions (Tailscale, Zerotier, Nebula), and they seem great with peer to peer networking, strong encryption, UDP hole punching, NAT traversal, fine grained role based access control, and so on. Tailscale especially goes so far as implying that other authentication and authorization solutions have been obviated by this technology by writing in their blog about previous generation networking solutions the following:

"As a result, you end up having to add more layers of authentication, at the transport or application layers. Why do you need ssh or HTTPS? Because the network layer is too insecure to be trusted."

Ok, I'm willing to accept that an encrypted mesh network is so secure that you need neither the secure part in SSH nor PAM servers taking care of authentication. But then, how does this work in practice? To reify the confusion, here's a concrete example:

An organization uses Tailscale. There's 'server102' that is connected to the Tailscale network that all users of the `devops` team have access to. A new employee, Alice, joins the company. Sysadmins set up her SSO account, as well as makes her part of `devops` on Tailscale.

Alice gets her company computer, sets it up, connects to Tailscale, fires up her shell, types in `ssh alice.p.hacker@server102`, presses Enter.

What happens next?

It's especially bad in the BDSM scene. Grown adults who act like the kid in school who would go around telling other kids they weren't following the rules. They treat victimhood and white knighting like a job.
Yes, that all seems so trivial a small child could understand it. So what's my problem?! /s

But seriously, you don't see how this might be confusing? And what you've described is really only the tip of the iceberg. Who defines the specs? Who writes the compliance tests with the specs? Who runs those and certifies that implementations are compatible? What limits are there on entities that make builds, either on the patches they can apply (and still call it "Java") or the licenses they can adopt? What does "GPL with classpath exception" mean in the real world, that JDK-itself changes must be upstreamed, but linked applications need not be? What are the limits there?

The point is, getting an open source JDK binary is not easy, especially if you want to understand what you're getting. "OpenJDK" may exist as an OSS project, but I wouldn't call it typical. Not because it doesn't release binaries (although I just discovered it does, provided by Oracle for Windows/Linux only), but because of the license, the owner, and the owner's relationship to binary builders. The binaries you can get in practice have unknown additions from the vendor, and possible adjustments to the license (or is only Oracle allowed to make alternative licenses for an OpenJDK build?)

Compare java distribution to, say, node or python. Is it really fair to accuse someone who is confused of being an idiot?
Because both Norway and Denmark closed their borders, Sweden was as a result also closed. A key point when the danish side reopened was that the Sweden city Malmö on the Swedish side had lower infection rates than Copenhagen on the Danish side.

Both Denmark and Norway later issued rules that allowed Swedes to cross between the nations if they lived in low infection rate parts of Sweden. It was mostly people from Stockholm that could not pass.
Credit Karma is interesting as they routinely have not differentiated between which things are informative and signals for your credit score and which things have nothing to do with that.

There is a case to be made about some kinks; someone with a humiliation kink (often exercised by being led around on a leash) is getting close to the line (if not crossing it) of non-consensually involving others in their scene.

Though I agree with you that just "wearing a leather harness" is a pretty innocuous, and in general people don't require consent for their wardrobes in public. And on top of that, going to pride and then complaining about other attendees is at best a bit silly and at worst completely missing the point.

It does have to do with sex. There are of course exceptions, but women are naturally more equipped and inclined to be nurturers and caregivers, and men providers, especially for young children. It is also why women are disproportionate in early childhood care and education jobs (it gets somewhat more even with older kids; e.g there is a much higher proportion of male teachers at most high schools compared to elementary schools or preschool/daycare).
While I agree with your point in general, the Faroe islands might qualify.

I do not know why, but they have a 2.4 fertility rate, could be related to an influx of women from poor countries (which in turn might not participate in the workforce, confirming what you state).
There was a pre-proccessor for Rust without curly brackets that I can't seem to find now... It actually looked very nice. The two biggest changes I would probably make are square brackets for generics, and in-band lifetimes everywhere.

This is my big pet peeve with people who describe Youtube's demonetization policies as "censorship" and propose Peertube as a replacement. I'm not going to get entangled in the question of what responsibility big social media has and what it should or shouldn't do about giving people platforms, but I will say that if you believe demonetization and being de-prioritized in youtube's discovery algorithms is being deplatformed/censored, moving to a service that doesn't really have monetization or youtube-style content discovery isn't the solution.

If you move your content to PeerTube and want both an audience and to be paid, you'll need a combination of third party services and other social media, and will likely end up with similar problems re: advertisers cutting out "unacceptable content".

I do think it'd probably be better if the content provider was divested from this layer and focused on only providing media, but Peertube doesn't really solve these social/economic problems people complain about with Youtube.
My favourite video explaining Git: https://missing.csail.mit.edu/2020/version-control/

Explains nearly everything you need concisely and effectively, in about 20 minutes (the rest of it is primarily demonstration).
Peertube is really just an "app" providing a simple way to host and publish your content online outside the control of "service" providers that can also easily be accessed and shared by the "fediverse" (in this case activitypub supporting federated networks of servers and end users).

You can consume peertube content with any activitypub client that supports its types. In short, peertube is an accessible way for users to publish their videos to activitypub.
The stimulus payments were just that - extra money to stimulate economic activity - not assistance to those directly impacted. There was an order of magnitude or so more money (per recipient) available through the unemployment supplement programs, and a huge amount (meditated by employers) available through the PPP program.
While I understand (and maybe agree with) your point, one of the "official" reasons listed for why someone would upvote a post, is not the content of the post itself, but rather the discussion (which there seems to be a lot of).

Judging from the current top comments, it seems the general sentiment is that this post is incorrect and ignores a number of points.
I think you are missing the point: those who do certain jobs only do it to get fed and have shelter. There is no way to make them do it if they had the choice not to do it.
The extra money? It wouldn't make enough a difference to climb the ladder, they would try their chance doing something else.

That's assuming UBI would actually cover the basics. If that's half the needs to sustain their life I agree they would do that cleaning job, which is getting back to the original situation: job filled only because of lack of choice.

True, but as a typical user, I wish they'd just be straight up about it.

Basically, it's user experience degradation until you're forced to sign up.

How about trying to just reach out and offer a service without killing my current experience?

I pay for other subscriptions so this isn't a money thing, but I won't for youtube on principle. They ruined that platform.

“Understand why you’re building it. If you’re building it, there should be value to your users and the business. What is that value? Do you agree with it?”

Is that really your concern? If you are following the spec, it should be irrelevant - sometimes as an engineer you are not privy to how things will integrate until later, unless you have a real concern, the “value add” is irrelevant.

The paper I asked about reports a 2 σ result.

That is distinct from the other 4.7 σ and 3.8 σ results mentioned in TFA, which combined yield a 6. AFICS nobody has suggested this one may be combined with anything.
