It was never about surveillance (you already can't escape from cameras in Moscow).

They can (and will) use this system to restrict movement for "uncomfortable" persons — turnstile will not open for you if government do not like what you said in Twitter.
> Relentless propaganda against public health measures no doubt contributes to erosion of trust. However, that mistrust may also be fueled by the sorry state of health insurance in this country and the deep inequities in health care — at a minimum, this could make people more vulnerable to misinformation.

The cathedral of government and media will never admit that it has done any wrong. It will always claim that it knows best, and then after conflicting information comes out it will rewrite its own history to claim that it already knew. The thought that major U.S. institutions themselves have lost trust among members of the public through incompetence and condescension is unthinkable to them.
The pre-MAX 737 has a cut-off switch that switches of the automatic trim system, without also switching of the electric trim (there's another one that switches off the electric trim). The 737 MAX also has two switches, but they both switch off the automatic trim (including MCAS) and the electric trim.

So you can't switch off MCAS without also switching off electric trim, leaving only manual trim. But in situations like the Ethiopian flight, you need inhuman strength to control the manual trim (as Mentour Pilot demonstrates in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoNOVlxJmow). You need electric trim to have any chance to fight MCAS, but you can't enable electric trim without also enabling MCAS. Must be horrific to be in such a situation.
"Neurodiverse" is an umbrella term that covers a handful of things, including both ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder. What used to be Asperger's is now just one point along the autism spectrum. So you'd still be classified as neurodiverse if you had ADHD instead of being somewhere under the sub-umbrella ASD.

I agree about the best parties. But what about the idea that consciousness exists on a continuum — that everything that processes information has a scope of consciousness that corresponds to the complexity of what it processes? A block of steel doesn't really process any information, but a thermostat does, and so does a paramecium. I'm happy to grant qualia to a paramecium, even if I don't think those qualia are very substantial or interesting in human terms. I feel a little weirder about the thermostat, but, um, sure, why not, I guess?

I guess I'm siding with group 4, but just saying that quantity has a quality all its own. Or that universal consciousness doesn't have to be spooky.
What scientific education and experience is your common sense based on? If you haven't studied this area, why do you feel more qualified to say it's unsafe than the people who have spent their entire careers focused on it?

For example, what is the longest recorded delay between a vaccine being administered and a side-effect being observed? Vaccines trigger an immune response but aren't in your body for a long period of time, so you typically see reactions within a few hours or days — the record is something like 6 weeks, so multiple years would be quite the outlier.

https://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/concerns/concerns-history....

The other key thing to remember is that this isn't some hypothetical question about risks in absolute: your odds of being one of the very few people who have a significant vaccine side-effect has to be weighed against the much higher probability of having significant health impacts from COVID-19. “Neither” is not an option any of us get to pick.
I'd totally invest my share in them (HP in my case) building a storage facility for extra screws (and the screws themselves can be manufactured anywhere - no real need to order from China and manage a complex and fragile supply chain). I bloody mean this when I buy a PRObook and an ELITEbook.

Drilling a place for socket for a screw in a laptop means drilling the mainboard - hardly a good idea :-]

I wonder if they actually used human lung cells for this test; the article doesn’t seem to specify. Past tests have used Vero cells, which are apparently the norm for virology research, but aren’t a good analogue for human cells for Covid infection. This seems to be why some compounds worked well in a Petri dish, but didn’t work in actual humans.
Billing an entire annual subscription up front, as opposed to monthly, seems especially questionable. What if the therapy doesn't work? What if it's so badly implemented that it can't work? You're still out a hundred bucks just the same, and that's just in the first year.

edit: There is also a monthly subscription option, in the Apple app store at least. It's $22 a month - so over twice as much as the annual. This does not give me to think the product here is less sketchy. And the Psy.D founder, Sachs, is a pretty blatant self-promoter of the sort endemic to the ADD/ADHD "coaching" space, if unusually well qualified by that standard: https://sachscenter.com/adult-child-psychiatrist-psychologis...

Perhaps it's less of a surprise than I initially found it that the account posting this Launch HN has thus far had nothing further to say.

also edit: Sachs is a Psy.D, not an MD. Granted, this does entitle him to "Dr." as a term of address, just as would a doctorate in physics, ancient history, or underwater basket-weaving. But, just as with any of those, it doesn't qualify him as a doctor in the generally understood sense. Again, this gives one reasonably to question, and the questions thus raised are ones for which well-prepared founders may reasonably be expected to provide compelling answers.
They are definitely not doing identification (1:whole_database) for payment, that would be ridiculous.

I'm sure they are matching against very small subset. Most likely they are getting data from mobile phone operators on who's currently around the entrance
C++ has theoretical solutions to it. I’ve yet to see anyone actually do anything like that in any professional environment (from small startup codebase a to the largest c++ code bases that exist in the world) because that’s an unmaintainable solution with a high burden placed on the developer.

Whatever the solution Rust comes up with I think will look at the practical component so as to actually see adoption. It seems like the Rust team is very good at studying the mistakes other languages make in their approaches to a problem and finding the right fit within the language/targeted domain.
I'd say that dead downtowns after hours are more the norm than the exception in a lot of cities. Indeed, I can think of cities that do have a fair bit happening overall and their financial districts and similar are still pretty dead once people go home. For example, no one would probably say Boston didn't have a lot happening after 5 but the actual financial district is pretty empty.

We'll see what happens given the dynamics of a lot of office work going forward. Most people don't want to live in a city apartment per se. They want to live somewhere with easy access to entertainment, restaurants, etc. If there's nowhere to walk to, there's little reason to live somewhere walkable.
TBH it'll boil down to what configuration schematic 'feels organic' to you. In terms of features, personally think they are on par.
I will be quite happy when this particular generation of old white boomer men that push Agile constantly finally fade into the sunset.

It's a religion with them, and despite almost universally never having written any software of any note that ever went into production, they pontificate and bleat about best practices, and become hostile and defensive if you register any objections to their doctrine.
Yep, I imagine ARMv7 is still used a lot. I used a ThinkPad T60 with the intel core duo T2300, so from 2006. I had used debian on it, and it now runs openbsd.
I'm starting to get pretty optimistic. There seem to be a bunch of antivirals with very different mechanisms of action - this one blocks entry of the virus to cells, Molnupiravir fucks up accurate replication of the virus (nucleoside analog), others are protease inhibitors, which are very effective against HIV.

There's a caveat, most treatments that look promising don't pan out, but there are a lot in the pipeline and it seems likely that some will. What I think will happen is a cocktail of antivirals, and together these will significantly reduce the mortality. We need that, because it looks like the virus will probably be circulating endemically. The other great thing about a cocktail (as opposed to a single antiviral) is that the virus developing resistance is both less likely and less of a problem if it does happen.
Yeah that was why I said or similar. Maybe should have called it out more, but I got a cheap wacom (non-screen) to learn with though I haven't been doing sculpting lately, need to get back to that.

Not having used JS for teaching someone how to program I'll take your word for it. It may be that JS only gets complicated when you try to make non-trivial software (and then things get complicated in a hurry).

Agreed. With k3s and friends, nomad is more complicated and requires other components (Consul, some kind of ingress) to match what you get out of the box.
IIRC they (Rosnano) even developed their own AI chips dedicated to image recognition to be incorporated in street CCTV cameras. Stuff that Hikvision is also doing but in China.

Scary stuff but I can imagine western governments salivating at these capabilities and doing metal gymnastics on what justification to spin for the introduction of such systems here, as "terrorists" and "think of the children" have been used already.

> A well-designed KaaS offering from a cloud provider will do that by itself. GKE exposes GCP load balancers as an Ingress controller, IAM identities as Kubernetes RBAC identities, persistent disks as PVs, ... You just get them under a single declarative API.

My experience with EKS on AWS tells me that it's not that simple, there are still many things to be glued together. I understand AWS historical position on K8s, and they probably want to keep the k8s experience on AWS good but not awesome but I'm pretty sure that there are even in GCP still serious gaps between "native" GCP features and k8s ones, where you end up reimplementing them on both sides. But I'm no GCP expert so I might be totally wrong.

> With a platform team you're concentrating already existing responsibility into a team that can specialize in operational excellence - vs. that same responsibility being spread out across product teams that have to individually manage their own cloud resources, reinventing the wheel by writing the same terraform/{ansible,puppet,chef,...} boilerplate poorly. My experience is that these per-team bespoke AWS deployments are much more brittle than whatever a dedicated team can provide if given the responsibility and means to do things well.

I'm totally fine with this approach, and we are actually trying to implement it at $DAYJOB but I don't really get why you see thew AWS API as a different monster from the K8s API. With a complex enough system you will need many lines of YAML/charts/Terraform/whatever on the k8s just like CF/Terraform/Pulumi/whatever on AWS. And you can totally have a team that takes care of the quirks and details of AWS while exposing a usable and unified interface for services deployements to the the rest of the engineering organization. I understand if we were talking about bare metal vs Kubernetes (even on-prem), k8s would win hands-down. But in the cloud-native world, I don't really see that day vs night change. Everything has its tradeoffs and its quirks and bugs and corner cases.
Meh. So what. UK also did similar. Why? because they are a hotbed of infections. What do a few thousand people more matter?
> That being said, I think developers have made some things more difficult to understand than they should be. While people understand what an address is, calling it a URL adds an extra layer to learn (even if it is just terminology). URLs would also be easier to understand if they were more consistent from the end user's perspective, much like someone's mailing address, rather than an engineer's perspective.

I really don't think they're more difficult than they need to be to be functional. Users' mental model of "an address" is incoherent and often context dependent. Both a URL and an email address are an "address" to most users. The really lost ones will refer to the search terms they use to get to a web page as the "address".

I don't really see URLs as different from addresses. Their in descending size order rather than ascending like physical addresses, but the rest of it is fairly consistent. Most people spend drastically less time thinking about URLs than physical addresses though. We teach children how to break down physical addresses, and we do not teach them to break down URLs. It's entirely unsurprising URLs are more confusing.

> It sounds like it makes things easier for the user. Yet all that it really accomplishes is creating confusion for the end user since it fails to differentiate two concepts.

Phrased differently, it frees them from the requirement to be able to differentiate those two concepts. Much like how my calculator can give me the square root of a number without me needing to know how to actually calculate that.
yeah, this really undermines the credibility of the app. I really hope that they address this.
They likely mean Alberta provincial politics, which are kind of a mess. The current provincial government has done poorly with the COVID situation, and has spent as much effort battling cartoons on Netflix for being too "anti oil & gas" as anything.
Pretending that not wholesale embracing someone’s lifestyle is akin to violence is just an insane concept. If I think someone is weird that doesn’t mean I want to murder them.
To echo the other comments here, you are describing ADHD, not its opposite. ADHD doesn’t mean you can’t hyperfocus, far from it. It means you find it much harder than a normal person to directly control, through pure will, what to focus on and how widely/narrowly. So at times you’re highly distractible and struggle to focus on things (sometimes even when you know they’re vitally important, like listening to the questions in a job interview), and at other times you struggle to tear yourself away from a task you’re engrossed in (even when you know there’s something urgent you should be doing) - the fugue state you describe. It’s a lack of ‘executive function’, and you can actually see this on an MRI scan - ADHD brains apparently tend to show much less of this type of activity.

As a rough analogy, ADHD is to focus as bipolar disorder is to mood.

Funny that the thing you shouldn't use is what the entire Kubernetes ecosystem uses for deployment. It's almost like there's no good way to do it.
I fully agree, it usually ends up being barely useful, and not enough. It does not explain how certain parts of the magic happen, what the best practices are, what the expected types for arguments may be, etc.

It's not bad, but usually verbose in the wrong bits, and sparse in the details.
mRNA vaccines look extremely promising too. It’s entirely possible that some classes of cancer will be effectively eliminated in our lifetime because of it, along with HIV and/or Malaria. The latter would probably be the biggest reduction in human death and misery since the invention of the Polio vaccine
Here's the actual paper: https://www.pnas.org/content/118/43/e2108728118

There's a lot of detailed discussion about different types of cells. Vero cells don't have TMPRSS2, but Calu-3 (human lung epithelial) cells do. To dramatically oversimplify, this compound works on the latter type but not the former.

They also did a little safety testing in a mouse model. This is early stage, as you point out there are a lot of things that work well in the lab and not so much in real humans, but still I find it promising.

> The JWST science operations will be driven by ASCII (instead of binary command blocks) on-board scripts, written in a customized version of JavaScript. The script interpreter is run by the flight software, which is written in C++.

> The flight software operates the spacecraft and the science instruments. The on-board scripts will autonomously construct and issue commands, as well as telemetry requests, in real-time to the flight software, to direct the Observatory Subsystems (e.g., Science Instruments, Attitude Control, etc.). The flight software will execute the command sent by the calling on-board script and return telemetry, which will be evaluated in real-time by that on-board script. The calling script will then send status information to a higher-level on-board script, which contains the logic to skip forward in the observing plan in response to certain events (see Section 4.1).
The Hashicorp ones tend to be well written and informative. I have found them useful in the past, even though I usually loathe sales BS. In this case the bias is a bit more obvious but we know it's written by Hashicorp and can make allowances.
As others have mentioned, "Hyperfocus". is one of the symptoms of ADHD. ADHD is really a misnomer, it should be called Attention control disorder. The famous hyperactivity part that annoys parents and teachers is really just a way to self treat. Exercise in general helps, and one of the hypotheses I have heard is that the ADHD brain evolved to be constantly moving, and is only a problem with our modern stoic lifestyle.

Though back to hyper focus, it is a curse and a blessing. Without it, I would never get anything done personally or professionally. Though I will also ignore family, friends, and work for entire days on things that are meaningless and I don't enjoy.

Which really brings me to the core of ADHD. What you focus on has nothing to do with what you want, or what you enjoy. It is, to various degrees, out of your control.

That said, I'm going to give the app a try, I have had some ideas for an app myself, but haven't found the focus to work on it.

I'm not super fond of rolling releases. It always feels weird when people recommend Arch or Void to an OpenBSD user. OpenBSD has very nice releases with a tested & documented update process between each.
Pycharm gets little love, esp comapred to the free alternative, VS code.

I actually like, use, and pay for PyCharm, but it annoys me when JB chase new (ds) customers with DataSpell, or teams management stuff with "Space", When long standing, trivial Pycharm bugs have gone unfixed for years; https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-14743 [0]. I have no hope Pycharm will innovate any time soon, and will eventually fall behind more motivated IDEs.

Also, the whole "IDE specific to one language/domain" thing is a little Janky when, IDEA with plugins vs the "specialised" IDEs can differ so much. I feel JB are trying to build a single code base to spawn multiple, separately marketed, product more than any advantage to end-users. For a while I had to keep switching from PyCharm to IDEA just for Jenkinsfile support..

Can you add more detail to this thought, other than just trying to vaguely affiliate proprietary tech with failure?
Among plenty of competition, consumers voted with their wallet. Consumer preferences remain clear. That’s not a monopoly.

If one doesn’t like consumers’ choice, one can try to understand why the value one thing over another and out deliver that. But first one must really grok it.

HN threads show that’s hard as supporting the non-tech user-centric approach requires an atypical world view among Makers.

Numbers show it’s hard as a majority of the competitors are not engineered or marketed with that understanding.

There’s likely a connection.
What does that mean? There are more immigrants from Europe than native Kiwis?
This is so shady and I "could" understand it coming from a random startup... but by a startup backed by YC? And that it gets it own Launch HN thread (while others startups had to do it in the batch posts?). This is no the first time in the last months that something like this happened, unfortunately.
