>Article coming out by a reputable journal about how safety tests for the car were botched.

Sure, but that has not happened here.

>If something seems too good to be true, I lose trust. If negative things about something are censored I lose trust. I have trust when both good and bad things are talked about openly, data is transparent and can be validated.

Has that happened here? Obviously, transparency is always good, but I do not know about the logistics of throwing up every piece of data from clinical trials. "Seems too good to be true" works sometimes, if the subject is simple enough. Like someone giving away free products or free labor. Does not really work when you need PhDs to understand the subject matter.

> I need to know whether main motivation with vaccines is greater good or it is money.

What does "main motivation" even mean? Everyone does everything with some ratio of money:"greater good". Some people will kill someone else for $1B, and some will not. If you want your society's best people at the cutting edge of medical science, then you better reward them, maybe even comparably to spending their time figuring out how to target you with ads online. But that does not mean they can also not do things for the greater good.

That is why you need various teams of experts double checking each other (for example in this case, various governments and even non government agencies evaluating vaccines). Is it possible the whole system is corrupt a la Hollywood style evil syndicate movie? Maybe. Is living life worth it assuming every situation is like that without considerable evidence? No.

For the record, in case you are curious about my thoughts on the government's response, I was OK with government restrictions if hospitals were being overwhelmed and vaccines were not widely available. After the vaccine had been made widely available, my response would have been to remove all government restrictions and let people get turned away from hospital emergency rooms if they are unvaccinated. I see no problem with vaccine requirements. My parents had vaccine requirements, I had them growing up, and the evidence behind herd immunity and population wide vaccination is readily evident, considering the lack of smallpox and polio today, etc. And the resurgence of measles and whooping cough in areas where people do not vaccinate.
One of them operates as a collaborative group to maintain open source software and is well known for that within the development community with decades of proof.

The other is a publicly traded company known for a single product (suite), and the licencing troubles they have faced when dealing with hyperscalers like AWS providing their product to their customers.
I've never seen (or heard I guess) a kettle with a status alarm. They tend to be pretty loud when they're on, you know the water is boiled because they actually do the opposite of an alarm, the sound of boiling water gets quieter.

Maybe thats not calm tech because it requires me to listen out for it, but its simple enough and does the job
You start by looking at the license of your likely dependencies. Some of them may constraint your options. For example if you have a non replaceable dependency under GPL.
If you're just mucking around, get a Mini or the Air 2S. I know people doing commercial work with both. Air 2S gives you more room to move if you end up operating commercially, selling prints, etc.

Whenever I say this to my FFANG acquaintances they say "don't let perfect be the enemy of good".

I think they love the money too much. Love blinds.

But there's also some truth that it's shades of grey. Tech has improved lives after all.
The whole stack of waiterio.com runs on AWS Lambda.
We do use several Monolith lambdas and it works well.

I believe the reason why Lambda has seen so little adoption is because cloud architects suggest to break existing services into a Lambda function for each endpoint.
This causes an explosion of complexity and code that runs in the cloud in one way but it can't be reproduced locally on developer machine easily.

My advice is the opposite:
DO USE MONOLOTHIC LAMBDAS.

The example you're talking about is for adults who have been out of school for a while.

Excalidraw is a PWA, so you should be able to install it as an app on your local machine and use it off line.
We do use monolithic lambdas written in Node.js and do not have cold start times problems.
The problem with cold starts is more related to Java than to monolithic lambdas.
I'm going to guess you just have no idea how schooling works in the US. Otherwise I'd be super interested in your theory that the poorest parents are spending resources to take their kids out of their way to shittier schools.

How to Get Your App on the App Store - Apple's Prerequisites
While the process of submitting your app to the App Store is straightforward — especially if you've worked with a professional app development team from the beginning — there are a few aspects you can't neglect. Check our guidebook to have everything covered.

Also, the second part, a step-by-step tutorial on how to upload your app on AppStore, is coming!

The way Ive worked around that is to group the text and shape together, so they move as one.
That is also Rust's curse. The community is dominated by people who have never programmed in Ada/Spark and barely know Haskell, yet they're constantly blabbering about safety features and all of this without a formal language specification and standard, and therefore also without a way to validate and rigorously test an implementation. It's kind of the opposite of what you'd expect from a modern safe language.

But it's a good replacement for C++ and roughly on a par with it in terms of (low) developer productivity.
Huge agreement. Calculus is one branch on the tree of mathematics and one of the more useless ones in modern society (that can be taught to HS students).
Yeah you can say that - the browser environment with DOM and other Wep API's is a framework for client-side apps. Single-page application frameworks like Angular, React etc. are frameworks on top of this, which provide higer-level abstractions and tools. Whether you need these higher level abstractions depend on your use case.

If you have lots of in-page DOM mutation in response to user interaction or data from the server, a SPA framework might simplify things. For a site like HN with very little in-page DOM mutation it probably isn't worth the complexity.
You can go into insert mode with i, then keys like question mark will be forwarded to the site.
Ha! That was a disturbing to read about something without any visible link to see it. :)
The WaPo article was interesting - it seems that telling villagers in 3rd world countries how to act, "for their own good", is back in fashion. It's an article, not a paper, and the methodology is poorly described (particularly how and when they measured the incidences of symptomatic Covid cases), and the results are highly simplified.

Unfortunately, I cannot read the "49 studies", as I am in the EU.

Feedback on "Jitsu support s MixPanel as a destination"

This is not really clear from the website. Mixpanel is mentioned in https://jitsu.com/sources but NOT in https://jitsu.com/destinations. Also the docs seem very clear about that.

We are currently looking at Segment, Jitsu and others. While we generally liked Jitsu, this was kind of a big deal for us and made us lean towards Segment.

However, no final decision has been made yet. ;-)
I've mostly moved to using time.cloudflare.com [1], in addition to the relevant ntp.org pools, because the ntp pool servers could often be wildly variable, while the cloudflare service appears to have been more stable.

Have you used a whistling tea kettle? I think that's what they're referring to -- there's a small opening in the lid or spout of the kettle, and when enough steam pressure builds up inside, the steam forces itself through the opening and makes a loud whistling sound.
Exactly, I don't want to pay for their crappy abusive service. Imagine paying so you can watch "ad free" content with sponsors and product placement, and be surveilled by Google on top of it too. Yeah, that's a level of indignity I won't tolerate. I encourage everyone here to do the same: don't support these companies and their abuse. Remember, Firefox with uBlock Origin and SponsorBlock all cost $0.

> What does that leave?

It leaves the people who create because they have something to say rather than a desire to make money. The internet used to have a lot more of those before these advertisers came and corrupted everything. I don't understand why people assume nothing will be created if there's no money in it despite mountains of evidence to the contrary, including free software. I suppose it's due to copyright monopolist propaganda.
It benefits google because crap organic results means you are more likely to actually click on an ad. They are already a virtual monopoly you and I might use Bing or Duckduckgo but it hardly makes a difference.
Exactly, like good ol' times
"Waterfox is thriving" eh? Sounds like wishful thinking to me.

I get the loss of the XUL extensions is annoying for some people, but the rest of it sounds like pointless UI faffing of exactly the same kind people criticise Firefox for.
> it is possible to have a smart contract that is not under control of someone or a group of people. Contract bytecode gets uploaded to Ethereum (potentially anonymously, and potentially generated by a computer). It then does exactly what the smart contract says it does, including potentially trading or transacting digital assets, in perpetuity, for as long as there exists at least one Ethereum node on earth.

If I may translate this in to politician speak, you're saying that the Iranian government and other OFAC-sanctioned entities can create autonomous fiscal cyberweapons which cannot be turned off?

(Requires a bit of imagination to do this without oracles, which are obviously a weak spot, but you could imagine having an autonomous bug bounty program that can automatically validate and pay out certain kinds of exploits. Self-funding ransomware?)

If there can be autonomous organizations, there can be autonomous crimes, and that is not a stable situation.
who are these mythical consumers that are so price sensitive for a $100 cooler but not when it comes to an $800+ cpu
Rust provides volatile load and store intrinsics which do exactly what they say on the box, but given you talk about "concurrency stuff" I expect they're completely irrelevant to you because this (older) meaning of volatile is about hardware memory access (e.g. for device drivers) and nothing to do with concurrency.

Java's "volatile" is sequential consistency on steroids, a promise that changes to a volatile variable "happen-before" anything else that thread does, and "happen-after" anything the thread already did. Rust's std::sync::atomic has a hardware fence which you could use to deliver this same outcome (throw away performance, gain sequential consistency).

For concurrency C++ volatile does not supply any semantics, except on MSVC. If you're looking at papers or reference implementations which assume C++ volatile has semantics that are relevant to concurrency you're probably looking at papers that only needed Acquire-release and it worked on the x86 CPU they tried it with, or they forgot to mention it only works on MSVC (which promises Acquire-release even on platforms other than x86).
Considering it was made decades after first Western CMOS, it's no big wonder
>the type of mask is irrelevant to the discussion

It absolutely is relevant. Rated masks (N95, etc) are designed and tested to achieve a particular level of particle filtration. If you want to avoid viral particles, find one that meets the specification you need and wear it.
Depends how generous you're feeling, but it might give the hiring manager ammunition to try to get the process changed.

IMHO That third round should have been rolled into one longer session (no more than 2 hours). Anything any more convoluted than that is just eating the candidate's time because your processes are bad. Then adding more hurdles... nah.

Companies so often miss that you can have a probation period, try someone out in the role, which will give you a much better idea of how it's going to work than selecting for people who will tolerate your byzantine hiring oddyssey

Making Sites Because I Can't Stop Buying Domains
Yeah I get this argument for native apps, but does it really make sense in the context of a React app? If I'm combining components from different authors, what's more important to the user is consistency between components in my application, not consistency for an individual component across different unrelated sites.
Many times since the machine exists (> 3 years). But it's "only" Ubuntu HWE, not Arch or mainline.

In some phase I thought it happens mostly when there is "something big" happening on the screen. So I swapped the Nvidia GPU against an AMD one. But that did not change anything. And the last 1.5 years I have been using the machine mostly remotely over ssh and the freezes still occur occasionally.

So if it's not the CPU proper it could well be the motherboard. Memory tests have never shown anything, but of course I did not run them for 6-8 weeks what it takes at average to get the next freeze.
Do you have two 4k displays? If yes, then does running them affects performance significantly? On i9 MBP this was causing extremely severe performance issues, to the point where processor was throttled to 30% performance.

Ignore their calls and emails for 90 days, then after 6 months email them and CC everyone you got an email from during the first three rounds telling them that you have decided solely based on their hiring process that tech corporations are bad and you are starting a wood chipping business instead.
How can you understand statistics without understanding basic calculus? e.g. Central Limit Theorem, probability density functions, etc.
> Couldn't we consider a nation-state "illegally leaving its sovereign territory" if it started policing a globally distributed project in cyberspace?

If this were true then criminals could setup a globally distributed database of child prn or something else illegal. The "cyberspace" isn't just some magical place with no affect on the real world. It has real consequences on real people's lives.
>Then out of the blue, I get an email from another HR employee saying that they are testing a new hiring process and now I would have to go through a 2 x 90 minutes pair programming session, with two different engineers, then talk with one engineering manager, then the diversity one, then if everything went well, I would get a job offer ...

Wouldn't it make sense to talk with the diversity officer at the very first? I am assuming if you don't tick some diversity checkbox, you'll have much lower change to get hired regardless.
>Soon the only way a person born in the USA will be able to do anything in any scale with these technologies, without KYCing everyone or becoming a felon, will be to a) leave and b) operate with a non-US entity and ideally non-US employees/directors.

Taking the results at face value, then we need about 40% of over 50s to wear masks, and no-one else needs to.

Saying that, it's very unclear if they are measuring "Covid cases by age group of people wearing masks" or "Covid cases by age group, with a certain percentage of overall people wearing masks".
One visit to Louis Rossmann YouTube channel Louis was enough for me to stop entertaining the idea of buying Apple laptops. It's almost like people that have no problems don't go around saying that (except for Apple users)

The text you quote says that things like this are how it is done today. That makes it not worse, "only" just as bad.

I think that's what (paraphrased and grossly simplified here.) means.

In most cases the adversary would choose to use their physical access at a time when you will use it again afterwards, so they could install a hardware keylogger. Cases where you will never use the machine again are more the exception than the rule.
Why not both? I can honestly say that I didn't know how bad the 2019 MBP Intel CPUs are until I tried a M1. It's streets ahead.

I don't think people will be moving away from webpack for awhile, but transpilation is often a very expensive part, and `swc` is very near to stable, and as a transpiler / polyfilling tool it's pretty fast.
"data science" is not a field of math. lord knows the term does not need to be watered down further. is "statistics" not adequate (in a high school context)? (I'm not singling you out - they have a "Data Science" section in the proposed California mathematics education framework)

while I do agree that statistics education should be much more heavily emphasized, I still believe it and calculus should both be taught. Understanding the basic ideas of calculus opens a lot of doors in other fields of study. Hell, "data science" math would necessarily involve understanding calculus and optimization

OTOH, when I was a kid, I never did homework at home and I always got straight As in math and science. I was just naturally good at those subjects and was able to not only listen to the lecture in class and learn, but also do my homework for that same day in that same time period. And I retained the knowledge for the quizzes and tests, too.

If that isn't "naturally gifted" I don't know what is. I definitely watched other students struggle to maintain a B average with lots of studying and effort.

I suffered in other subjects, and others excelled at them with little effort. They were the naturally gifted ones there.

It was a constant source of stress to me that they would treat everyone the same when it came to those subjects, to the point that in 6th grade, when reviewing multiplication tables that I'd learned years before, I refused to do my homework. I ended up with an F that semester in math because I was so good at it. Luckily they moved on to harder subjects in the next semester and my grades returned.
>A powerful adversary could set up sniffers all over the city and track the population, I guess, but I imagine the value of this method goes down the more phones that are being distinguished (variability among millions of phones probably means a lot of overlap, especially considering it doesn't seem that variation in signal is consistent).

You may be able to achieve the same goal without exploiting this security weakness.

A few years back I built a "people counter" app - it was mostly a learning exercise to see what I could do with the Android Bluetooth API, but I was also curious to see how useful a signal Bluetooth might be in finding the least crowded car on a packed commuter train. After a week of testing it on the ride home I had data to suggest that it was. I also found that based on MAC addresses and device names I was among the same group of strangers most nights of the week. And this was despite MAC address randomization which IIRC was already implemented in iDevices.

I've only ever seen artists make and sell their art as NFTs. Which is why I asked. Because I'm confused as to why an artist would do that.

I understand it's a massive scam but I didn't get why prominent artists I follow are getting into it in the first place.
Not really. If you do it right, it's a "steal $100 million and pay a $10 million fine" kind of business.
You understand what ad hominem means, right? Don't worry, I've been around for many years. I just go through periods of not having an account, to control the time I waste online.

I've seen most of those studies before. Many of them are not even peer-reviewed papers, they all contain big caveats like "these results were not very conclusive and more research is needed", and many use very simple methodologies (eg, like assuming that some reduction in aerosol particles of a certain size will certainly result in a useful reduction in emitted viral particles). Research labs have access to viral samples (it doesn't have to be Covid). I am sure that no-one has measured how many aerosol-bourne viral particles are stopped by cloth masks, because the results would be quite damning.
Getting rid of calculus is lowering standards.

>The draft rejected the idea of naturally gifted children, recommended against shifting certain students into accelerated courses in middle school and tried to promote high-level math courses that could serve as alternatives to calculus, like data science or statistics.
