I can't help but feel like you think you've found some chink in my arguments and so are continuing to push this single point, though it is ultimately completely irrelevant to the thread.

Search "virus hijack" on google and you'll see that it is a very common colloquialism. These vaccines similarly commandeer the celular machinery to manufacture proteins from a human engineered mRNA sequence that is not found in isolation in nature. And to the cells detriment. This absolutely fits the common definition of hijacking (like hijacking a server) and, furthermore, while the actual function of cellular machinery manufacturing proteins is "natural", you are disingenuously stretching the definition of the word natural when you include injections of human engineered (unnatural) substances in unnatural quantities for unnatural purposes (human cells under no circumstances naturally manufacture exclusively spike proteins).

I'd really appreciate it if you'd stop spamming this thread with this irrelevant and fallacious argument.

Edit: in fact, while we're on the subject of what is and is not natural, I don't believe it would be reasonable to claim that human immune systems evolved to handle what are essentially megadoses of an inflammatory and likely cytotoxic protein that is also being expressed on tissue surfaces. That doesn't guarantee that this is dangerous but for the bajillionth time, the point is there is more than enough known and unknown complexity in this delicately balanced system to allow for the possibility that hundreds of millions of rushed vaccinations could easily turn out to be a minor or major fuckup in the long run.
Seriously scary stuff! Not news to me, but I hope enough read this message. The war for freedom is lost if this is accepted.
This video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INRs9rnciyI0 ) illuminates some of the biases that these leaks have this time around. I feel this sort of leak is more about attention grabbing media bites, than a thirst for real change. And i would guess that this leak potentially harms more people than it saves.
I believe the reason they mentioned it is that they have very large english speaking populations, famously a german conservative said he doesn't know if a person in a shop in Berlin can speak German or "only English".
The author does not discuss how BH chooses which companies to target for acquisition. It's just not within the scope of this post. BH's success is because they choose their targets and the price wisely. Their higher closing rate is the multiplier that scales up the returns from their good targeting.
Or maybe, more likely, the prevalence of electron apps lowered the average expectations?
Edison did not test 5,000 filaments himself, and a team of his size would always get their app through review.
You’re assuming the leakers actually want indiscriminate exposure. For all we know, damaging the Tax Avoidance B Team and politically cherry-picked persons could be a shared goal of the leakers (hackers?), ICIJ, and “global media partners”.

You are ignoring my main point, CloudFlare should act for each complaint? Like some Skyrim modder bitches that someone stole a texture from his mod , then what ? An employee starts an investigation to determine who is right?

Like in the case with a website, some dude complains that some other dude stole some css, now you need a detective to find the real author, licenses and then detect if is fair us ... this seems to be a job for police/justice. It is not a clear case like you are hosting an entire Disney movie.

> I imagine that HAM radio has an appeal as a retro technology

HAM as in radio operators clubs, sure. But SDR and other adjacent ideas are doing relatively well with younger people. Especially with rtl-sdr providing a really cheap entry point.

But the whole official HAM environment and exams? Meh... I made some antennas to catch local device broadcasts and satellite transmissions, but I'm not interested in the classic stuff.

I've never heard of this argument and can't say it makes sense. "releasing people from the private sector" just mean removing jobs (and maybe bussiness activities)

I doubt the jobs lost will be offset by the public sector and creating public jobs isn't incentivized in a free market. More public jobs just means tax money allocated more poorly any won't guarantee improved public services.
Ivory to tower statement: Architecture calls these components and connectors. A component can be something as small as a function or as big as a monolith. A connector specifies the connection and its attributes between two components.

However, connectors can be of any form. They can be based on memory/processor (like local function calls), based on network protocols (like http calls), databases (a system a drops a record another one picking it up), REST (changes to collections) etc. Also some connectors imply higher level concepts such as response and request, message queues etc.

There is literally science about connectors.

IMHO, FFI is a abbreviation used in programming language design to specify the capability to invoke functions not specified by the ABI of the programming language (so the connector CPU/memory/in-process/same-os).
If your perspective/abstraction is that you are a SaaS doing some external integration, this generic rest/http API surely feel like FFI but I would not kidnap a term used for language/runtime design.

Why the derail about Architecture: the words you search are in the science behind Architecture.
Are that many KDE apps using QML (as opposed to qwidgets), though? Or does parent remark apply to both?

Generic we shouldn't. But if Google decided to do that, I can't see how one could object.
You cant select and copy all five cookies at once in the Applications tab, but you can in the Network tab. Personally I dont rely on Developer Tools, I capture cookies from the wire or from local proxy logs. I monitor traffic to/from my computers and my network, as many HN readers do.

I always thought that Dropbox comment was related to people trying to predict successful startups. No one can do that, certainly not HN commenters. Most VC investments are losses.

Give me any country in Europe and I'll show you when their rates were 10 times higher. Corona hits mostly in waves, the only worthwhile numbers to compare are the totals over the entire pandemic, not a specific period. We certainly wouldn't "sacrifice" our citizens for the economy.
I like the article, though... the problems it illustrates with effects are usually solved by DI/IoC containers. It even says so:

> Effect handlers let us decouple the program logic from its concrete effect implementations without too much ceremony or boilerplate code. For example, we could completely override the behavior in tests to use a fake filesystem [..]

Yes, I understand the fundamental difference between effects and DI (effects suspend the execution and search the call stack for the handler - like exceptions, but without immediate unwinding).

Maybe we could solve the problem with code being able to throw arbitrary exceptions by injecting an "Error" interface as well and then using some discipline? (I.e., instead of throwing stuff directly, we invoke methods on the Error interface.) Actually, I have to think more about this.

Thanks for the link, it gave me some food for thought.
This is such a stupid way to think about it ("but what even IS malware") and you're obviously completely ignorant as to how threats like phishing are handled.
I was really hoping this would be the outcome of Epic v. Apple, but alas it was not.

I honestly don't know if I understand any reasoning behind it. I would buy an iPhone tomorrow if I could get a web browser or keyboard that weren't effectively skins of the default/included one.
Yeah? Did the panama papers lead to any real change?

I’m 100% against having a ruling upper class and hard labor lower class, especially one determined by nationality. It’s disgusting and something we left behind in the 19th century until international capitalism reinvented it.
The reason it’s absurd in Europe is because Europe is a very “left” leaning region (its more that America is just so wildly conservative and in the pockets of capitalists). Many European countries do not have a political party that is even as right leaning as the Democratic Party within the USA.

A lot of the stuff in Europe is just a given whereas in the US, almost nothing is a given. Even the leftists in the US are quite modest with their essential demands in comparison to most of Europe!
Regarding this issue of "innate" talent, I want to ask, how do you know?

there are just so many variables that go into human cognition. Belief. Drive. Focus. Grit. Exposure to ideas. Social support. Physical resources. Exercise. Health.

Each of these contribute, in some way, to every moment we spend learning. They are always changing. Each moment we learn affects the outcome of the next. It's Conway's game of life in n-dimensions.

My second question, and this is perhaps more important; what is the effect of a belief in innate talent? What don't you do or try because you believed it wouldn't work? Because you believed you couldn't? What do you beliefs cost you?

I realize my questions are pointed, and for that I apologize. They are, however, genuine.
That's an overly optimistic vantage point. Many things will change. For the worse.
I realize this is a website primarily about startups rather than literal hackers, but the sentiment in your post that the government should protect us from risky investments and putting things in our bodies has to be about as far from the hacker ethos as I think I’ve seen. Getting scammed is infuriating and its sad to see drug addiction affect friends but as someone who has worked closely with some of these agencies giving them control over more of American life is not the answer to anything.
The papers always only make it to large firms that then censor much of the content.
If you are bullish on crypto, 50k of Coinbase stocks should have a significant pay off, like buying 50k of Google stock a decade ago.
Instead the change doesn't affect those with the power to censor large portions of the leak.

It's a waste of a leak.
WebKit has AVIF support no? I thought it was Safari specific, because it uses OS level image rendering?
Pardon me, but why were you using Samsung's garbage app store and not the Google Play store?

More like long live F-droid as there's no way in hell I'm voluntarily locking myself into Apple's high-quality, nice and shiny walled garden where basically they fully control the device and what I'm allowed to install on it, while renting it out to me for a fee and can scan it for whenever content they want (CP pics today, Tank Man pics tomorrow).

The level of quality apps on F-Droid is ironically much higher than anywhere else, and they're all ad-free, privacy focused and most of the time open source as well.
I don't know what he's talking about when he says that only 1% of the ICIJ gets is made public. They published everything they had from previous leaks as far as I know. See here

https://offshoreleaks.icij.org/

The current data leak is a bunch of unprocessed files and emails that would be irresponsible to leak as it could contain private information such as passport scans of no public utility. They said they are in the process of cleaning that data to later make it available.

At first I read it as: "C Programming Language" and "C programming language. Translated automatically to C", I was like... what? The main reason I actually clicked on comments is because I thought it was related to the actual C. The name is very confusing.
What operating system are you referring to?

On Linux, Qt does have any underlying UI to emulate.
On many others, my understanding is that this "emulation" is just theming.
And on others it requires to draw on non optimized video buffers, which then become noticeable.
Not yet! I have to figure out somewhere to put it for a reasonable price without risking racking up costs in egress traffic for that (and trying to avoid centralizing forces like Cloudflare, Akamai etc)
Not to undermine your effort, but isn't this the same outside of Apple? Kickstarter projects get cloned and ask a legitimate Amazon seller how their products got overrun by Chinese clones. That said, I would expect Apple to be a little better for 30% cut.
Yep, the cover-up has already been implemented. This dropped off the "news" pretty quick. As did all other similar leaks. Share it on 4chan next time. Autists [1] there will dig up stuff that even FBI can't find. Especially in this case when FBI won't find anything even if you slap it across the face with the evidence.

[1] I'm sure most of them aren't really autistic, they just call themselves that. And some of them are _very_ talented.
Interestingly enough, the east is the most prolific voting area for both far right and the left. Both AfD and Die Linke had their best results in the eastern states.
Might be connected to the horseshoe theory, I'm thinking. Where voters don't have a specific connection to any one political mindset so they choose the party that is the most extreme in their mind and won't hesitate to switch to another more extreme party, even if they switch from far left to far right because they aren't affiliated with a specific political mindset.
As an extension developer, yes please do this. I get constant offers to "purchase" my extension from shady marketing companies, and it's obviously quite lucrative for them based on some of the offers they're making.

If extensions were shut down quickly for shady behavior there wouldn't be a market for it.
Yes correct, I meant WebKit on macOS, which is waiting for OS level support although WebKit level support already exists.
>But the supermarket is a walled garden too. They choose what to put on the shelf based on quality and shelf space.

Big supermarket chains are the ultimate walled gardens our modern society and it's crazy they've been allowed to go through with their practices for so long.

Unless you're some 400 pound gorilla like Unilever or Nestle, trying to get your product on a supermarket's shelves resembles a mob shakedown. The margins they'll try to squeeze out of you are insane.

The truth is: all these leaks didn't unearth as much dirt on high-profile politicians as the journalists hoped for. Also, the "Swiss bank accounts" seem to have become a Hollywoood clichée that do not have much practical relevance any more. The biggest problem we have regarding taxes is an overly complicated tax code with too many legal loopholes.

Exactly - LeetCode, system design, behavioral interview - you can prepare for it.

I was interviewing for the last few months and got plenty of LeetCode Hard questions. Was designing a time-series database at least three times. And talking about a situation when I had a conflict with my colleague at least five times :-)
Well, perhaps more regulations to work around with expensive lawyers and accountants later.

Slight change of available loopholes after some legislative changes?
There’s still Malta with English as an official language inside the EU and Gibraltar is now part of Schengen area as a result of Brexit.

Both are pretty small though.
We plan to integrate Design tools as well as Responsive modes found in some niche browsers. Orion (and Safari) actually have the ability to offer best iPhone emulation for desktop developers since they use the same rendering engine.

I am not involved with Brave so you may stop addressing me as such.

Anyway, you just created a bunch of strawmen and expect others to spend time trying to reasonably argue with you? If this isn't the biggest "QED" to my comment, I don't know what is.

I could point to at least 5 false statements in your 3 paragraphs, but it is clear that you are not interested in having a productive conversation. So, don't be surprised if others just tell you to piss off and be less of an entitled aspie prick.
I've also given up on humanity. Feels like I'm forced to live inside a zoo, and all the low iq apes are convinced they are changing the world by picking up banana peels.

TBF, when I check out the overall blog, it is called "primal survivor", seems to cater primarily to the crowd that gets excited about digging one's own pit toilet with a portable shovel, and does happen to have a list of regulations relevant to that kind of off-the-grid living...

> There's plenty of alternatives to amateur bands for backup communications. ZigBee and LoRA networks/repeaters, amateur WiFi in ISM, Starlink, GSM radios, modems over POTS lines, etc.

In an actualy emergency, there really isn't an alternative. Ham is remarkable in that you can communicate around the world from a 100% self-contained system. You and the other party just need your own equipment and power (generator, etc) and there is no dependency on anything else. Every other solution has multiple (sometimes dozens if not hundreds) of third parties in the dependency chain, if any one of them is down, there's no communication channel.

It doesn't take too much for such emergencies to happen. Hurricane Maria in 2017 knocked out essentially all communications in Puerto Rico for a long time (many months in more remote unreachable areas, a week or more even in the city).

Satellite phones work, if you have one and an active plan. But that's so expensive approximately nobody does. Ham though, works standalone, free.

That's L3 cache though; they only have 0.5 MB of L2 cache per core.

I'm not really sure how much each of these types of memory cost, but I did find [1] which says "The cost of TCAM is also about 30 times more per bit of storage than SRAM". That suggests a CPU with something more like 0.5-1 GB of L3 cache would be a closer comparison.

This is so strange. I have 40 hrs /week (registered, if I work over time I can take days off to compensate for) and 30 days of vacation per year (on doctor's note sick days are not taken from the vacation-days account).

It's plenty of time for my employer to extract value from me. If the org wants me to work more, they can make me be in meetings less.
interesting comment. is there an industrial -real-world- useaege for compute and ML in discovering new materials. if so , where and how would it start?
is there a massive gulf between material science in academia and real world industrial scale material science? or is this just a specific area of detachment. what's your background?
just curious.
Yes. I have personally done exactly that. When a well is first drilled it can have contamination from the drilling equipment. A few liters of chlorine bleach poured down the well kills everything. Holding tanks can also benefit from the occasional bleaching. You run the taps for a few hours and the diluted bleach passes through the system sanitizing everything along the way. It isn't really dangerous but you probably want to hold off on doing dark laundry during the process.
The 2 aren’t mutually exclusive. You need talent and hard work to be “the best” in any given field. It doesn’t matter how hard I practice, I’m not going to be a world class sprinter or a world famous singer, my body isn’t built for it.

For some reason when it comes to physical limitations we accept it. But we reject it when it comes to mental capabilities. There are naturally smarter people, at least in specific areas.

According to a study [1] from the University of Oxford, "147 distinct outcomes recorded for
the Panama Papers investigation over 35 months", summarized as:

"""
• The most reliable outcome of Panama Papers
reporting around the world has been various forms
of official deliberation and information-gathering,
observed in 45 percent of countries tracked in this
study.

• Nearly a fifth of countries tracked have seen at
least one instance of concrete reform, such as a
new law or policy designed to address problems
exposed in the reporting. This is a higher rate than
has been found in comparable analyses, due in
part to the global scope of the Panama Papers and
the nature of the institutions implicated.

• Various tax enforcement measures have been a
regular outcome of the reporting, and numerous
companies and individuals have been penalised
or prosecuted as a result. Direct accountability for
public officials remains rare, with officials losing
office in fewer than 10 percent of countries tracked.

• Backlash against journalists was recorded almost
as often as substantive reforms, though in
different parts of the world: predictably, reporters
have come under threat in countries that score
low in press freedom.
