> that's not what Snowden's leaks showed us. Apple inc. is a very willing participant in all sorts of shady NSA projects.

I see people making similar claims but to my recollection the leaks were ambiguous and could easily be interpreted as the NSA having developed exploits, not as any kind of active participation. Where is this certainty coming from?

Do you have a citation about the unsterilized water?

I would guess that lots of things had bacteria, but not in large enough quantities to supply enough B12. It would need to be accumulated somehow.

Cows have special hardware in their digestive tract to cultivate bacteria that can supply the B12. Why would that exist if cows could just get it from unsterilized water?

If third world nations can have national voter IDs (some mandate you vote as well), then there’s no excuse that we can’t do the same: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_identification_laws

You need an ID to drive, buy alcohol/tobacco, get on an airplane, get state/federal benefits, apply for a bank account or loan, but somehow you aren’t required to prove your identity when voting everywhere in this country.
Yeah, I am not sure either. Unless there is some Vive Store (similar to Oculus Store), that doesn't seem right.

I know for a fact that on my Quest 2 I can play any games from Oculus Store (both for Quest and Rift), as well as any SteamVR games (played halfway through Half-Life:Alyx with Quest2). Wasn't aware of any Vive-exclusive SteamVR games though.

casual slurs aside, bettering the lives of your constituents is what politicians are supposed to do, why is that supposed to be some giant gotcha? Not just you, but in general, that is an underlying frame that many people routinely adopt - that making their constituents lives better is a dirty act designed to swing elections. God forbid people have an option to vote for someone who makes their lives better.

Like: literally yes, please, actually do something that will make me want to vote for you for a generation. Unironically. I'm 100% serious. That's what you're supposed to be doing.

And yeah, sure, politicians dole it out slowly so they don't have to do too much, that's not really a revelation either.

> His theory was that it overrides everything. Most people will pick the bigger thing. He was right.

Wouldn't that mean that most people---regardless of culture, education, etc.---would pick SUV over sedans? Is that true?

Granted there are plenty of SUVs in the US, but as far as I can see on the road and parking lots, sedans are still quite popular. I even see a lot of Minis and Beetles, which are even smaller than a regular sedan.
SQRL has weak anti-phishing protections. Basically you can't tell if the QR code is being displayed by the legitimate site or another site which is proxying the legitimate site.

WebAuthn integrates with the browser itself, and both does per-site keys and identifies the site in its cryptographic response. You would need to compromise the site or infrastructural pieces like DNS and TLS to break WebAuthn's phishing protections.

FWIW, Mutual TLS and Kerberos are the other two widely known systems here, with slightly better phishing protections because they operate below the "XSS" layer of modern browsers. However, that also means they require infrastructure investment, and are generally impractical to deploy outside environments with device management.

you should look up how http works. the request to get the data comes from the client browser. it's called a GET. the op requested to GET someone else's records from the server, after knowing the GET request he sent to the server would get him this information.

so again I ask - what is it that you don't GET here? The OP very literally committed a crime. a crime being very easy to commit, does not make it legal.

They are a big lottery ticket. Lottery tickets doesn't have 0 value but you can't count on them having more than 0 value.

Lets say you could choose between 1% chance of getting $20 million and 100% chance of getting $1 million, what would you choose? You'd pick the $1 million every time, since it is really easy to transform $1 million into a bunch of risky investments if you prefer the low probability big pay-out, while the 1% of $20 million isn't worth that much.
I'm sure this is true to a certain extent, but it'd be interesting to see how it varies in degree. For instance

For me any modern JS/TS backend framework needs to offer strong support for some Websocket technology (like Phoenix LiveView or Rails Action Cable).

The better diversity of antibodies you have against a target, you get compounding synergistic protection and protection against mutational escape on the part of the virus. And a natural virus with all it's parts is going to elicit a more diverse collection of antibodies than a spike-protein targeted vaccine.

> It's curious to me that so much of the focus on COVID vaccines focuses on the antibodies produced immediately after infection and vaccination and so little on the longer-lasting immune responses (memory T and B cells).

Lol it really isn't curious. The vaccines do really well at the first metric, and it can be measured in very short trials (which means smaller trials due to less attrition, and means more trials, etc.) The second metric, they don't do so well at and it's more difficult to measure. It'd be curious if things were any other way.

I designed[1] the Chrome Omnibox, and appreciate a lot of the conjecture in this thread and other places - I wish I was as devious as many people assume we were.

The short version is that while many users can differentiate, it's more a problem of WHEN they differentiate - Chrome's entire design philosophy was around speed, and the omnibox was designed so that we had a simple destination that a user could focus on when they had decided to go somewhere else, but before they had decided WHERE they wanted to go to or HOW they were going to get there, and then make it so they wouldn't have to think about the HOW. If their search term autocompleted to a URL so they don't have to go through search, that was a win. This same philosophy was what drove putting the most visited pages on the New Tab Page (which was a blank page in most browsers at the time).

Some users plan out their actions before they take them, but I wanted to make everything as streamlined as possible so you could interact with Chrome as you thought about what you wanted, and not making you wait until after.

[1] I was the designer and occasional engineer, but the entire team takes the credit - everyone was behind the idea from before we even started work on Chrome, and many smart people deserve more credit than I do for how good it ended up being.

A clarification - my computing experience at Boeing was writing Fortran programs to solve design problems, not aviation software.

However, at Boeing I spent 3 years working on the stabilizer trim gearbox on the 757. The 757 system is a newer design than the 737, in that it uses a dual drive system connected via a differential gear system rather than having the manual wheels in the cockpit. Nevertheless, the difference is in detail, not concept. Both systems have cutoff switches within easy reach of the pilot, for a damn good reason - to stop uncontrolled stabilizer trim action. While the 757 did not have MCAS, it did have a computer autopilot that could move the stabilizer.

I did some searching online of the MAX trim system, and indeed the electric trim switches override MCAS commands. In all three incidents the pilots did override it and return the trim to normal.

In the first incident, after a couple times, the crew trimmed it to normal and then cutoff the stab trim. Continued the flight and landed without further incident.

In the second, the pilots brought it back to normal 25 times before the final plunge. For whatever reason, they never switched off the trim system.

I haven't got a solid reference to the EA one, but it appears they restored trim twice before the final plunge. They then turned off the trim system in the plunge. They could not turn the manual trim wheels due to the aerodynamic forces. So they turned the trim back on, the MCAS came on again making things worse. Why they did not counter again with the electric trim I do not know. Why they did not turn off the trim when it was in the normal position I do not know. Those are excellent questions for the NTSB to answer.

But what they didn't do was follow the directions in the EAD.

Those laptops I think would fall in that same category of displays, where the PPI is around 120-180. It's not enough of an enhancement to make the text crisp and not pixelated, and it makes everything look bad unless the apps native to 96 PPI start to implement a certain type of floating point scaling. The higher end laptops of the same size just give you a the same screen but with a higher PPI. Scaling up then scaling down doesn't cause noticeable blurring once you get past 250 PPI, so it's only that class of low end displays/laptops that would benefit from this. I wonder if those displays will even still be around in a few years time, I certainly would like to get a cheaper laptop around that size but with a higher PPI.

I wonder if my annoyance stems from a difference between Windows vs. Linux conventions?

I hark back to when environment variables were set globally on a machine (back in DOS days).

I realize NTVDM emulation introduced the ability to configure more granular ones (eg. system vs. user) and you can now create a shortcut[1] that launches an intermediate step which tailors the environment for a single process. But always viewed that as a cludgey convenience for users, not a design paradigm for developers. (Also with at least six[2] different places to check for where Windows envvars come from, I typically favor the expliciteness of command line switches).

What happens if someone's creating a script that will shell out simultaneously to multiple Go programs? Do they all inherit the parent's environment variables? Does the script now have to tailor the same-named variable for each one?

Am I doing something wrong or is this easier on Linux and us Windows schmucks got left behind?

Thanks for any elucidation...

> I'm (perhaps naively) shocked at how opposed to this people are on Reddit, but especially on HN

> I've worked with and mentored a lot of minority candidates (who often have trouble with the cultural test that is getting and passing interviews)

Maybe have an open, empathetic mind for those people that are so upset? Or ask a minority friend of yours what they think?

From my personal XP: Many black and brown friends of mine think that entrepreneurship is a rich kid’s game because the common first step of raising a “friends and family round” is an absurd notion to them. Most of their friends and family barely have enough money to pay the bills, so the idea of raising $100k+ from them is silly. When I read the angry responses in this thread (and see a price tag like $10k) I think about those friends. I’m sure they’d laugh at the idea of asking friends/colleagues to help them raise $10k to “skip the interview” for similar reasons.

Empathy is hard, especially over the internet and across socioeconomic bubbles, but it’s essential when seeing outrage that you don’t understand.

You used that quote to support that claim that he is not basing his complaint on Twitter being a victim of espionage.

That claim is incorrect. Your quote does not state a cause of action against Twitter. Its only purpose, in the lawsuit, is to support, through innuendo, the claim that Twitter was complicit in an espionage "attack" against themselves. The complaint is based only on the espionage incident.

The quote is mostly irrelevant, which is the type of support you'd expect this complaint to be able to muster.

That's what I'm saying.
