Honestly, I had no idea what the relationship was. I just assumed it was all kosher and there was a connection between them that was brokered long before I started messing around with streaming. Luckily I thought OBS was the better long-term bet and uninstalled the other one after comparing.

Without knowing the vaccination status of those who got COVID it's hard to say anything. It's possible that 99.999% of individuals are vaccinated, and a huge wave still occurred. The small percentage unvaccinated could be the surge.
I hate to break it to you, but your friend who claimed her phone company started charging her for international phone calls when you chatted using Kik probably just didn't want to talk to you anymore. AT&T and other providers don't do that.
I'm not saying it doesn't exist. I did say 'maybe' after all.

I am also implying the likelihood of it being that, rather than from a particular perspective an organizational detriment looks like a personal positive (somewhat akin to the 'heroic' team constantly responding to pages in production for their services; not like that lazy team that only works 8 hours a day and never gets paged), seems low. As mentioned, when one person seems to be doing all the work, yeah, it might be they're just amazing, or it might be that the project is badly managed, and so the work can't actually be distributed well. Both can also be true.

I too have seen -10x engineers. Interestingly, others in the company also saw them as +10x. Someone who was the silo for a notoriously difficult part of the system was viewed by management as amazing (after all, he just went and got things done! They could focus their attention elsewhere!). When I then had to dig in, with actual production requirements, I found nothing really worked, nothing was designed well, nothing was documented, and the person was impossible to work with.
Do Apple actually do component-level repair? Or do they just bin it and send a new one?

No, I do think it's weaponized. Not exclusively… but for the very reason that you mention, that this is a behavior easy to elicit, I think smart malefactors do exactly this 'strategic deployment of purity language', especially on very low inertia platforms like Twitter, using armies of bots for amplification, to crank up this reaction way beyond its natural presence.

It would be a cop-out to say it is ONLY the bad actors imposing this on an otherwise content populace. You're right that 'it's us' who provide the amplified response, especially when we're terminally online and plugged-in.

But it's not at all hard to observe this and weaponize it. This is well established by this point. I feel it's almost the new battleground for WWIII: attempts to really-truly demolish and cripple an enemy power by intelligently exploiting this in ALL possible directions. Not towards a unified response, but toward 'the Zone' and chaos and mistrust of everything.
if the measure is "preventing insurance liability in hospitalization of elderly" -- off the charts!

I've only had one good experience with call to cancel. Ok, one company and many good calls. Drumroll please, for AOL. Every time I'd try to cancel they'd give me another two or three months for free. Then I'd pay them for a month and call again.

I was a teen and paying for this new fangled internet myself because my parents didn't get it yet. Paying 4 months out of the year was affordable!
The red light is some distance ahead, not right in front of the speed detector so that you have to immediately hammer down the break pedal and be rear-ended by the vehicle behind.

Of course some will still get as close to the light as they can and hammer the breaks last moment, but they'll do that at other lights too, and other unsafe things, so the danger is not caused by the light in that instance.
> but housing is affordable for most people in most parts of the US.

This is a enormously inaccurate. Speaking from experience, housing affordability is one of the top-5 concerns for most people in the vast majority of Midwestern cities right now (and even some Southern cities). There's crisis-level problems in housing in places like Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Louisville, Most of Urban Michigan (Grand Rapids, Traverse City, Ann Arbor, Detroit), etc, not to mention all the obvious issues in major places like Atlanta or Austin or such.

Housing is affordable in dying small cities with no jobs. Housing is expensive "for most people in most parts of the US". In the Midwest, a huge chunk of the 20-40yr-old aged folks here are literally begging for a entire nation-wide housing crash, so they might not have to rent for the literal entirety of their lives.
About that "rare" part... I'm gonna go ahead and say that 5% of the population in a week is no longer "rare", nor can we use the phrase "breakthrough infections" with a straight face anymore. We should just be done with that.

The larger point about being effective against severe illness and death still stands, and seems to be so robust that it's not going to change now, so the vaccine is still very much worth it.
Hmm, what if VS Code was done in WASM with the ability to write extensions in any language with compilers that can produce WASM?

Gyms. Walk in with a wad of cash. Tell them you want to pre-pay for 6 months. Show them the cash. No credit cards, no atm numbers, no ssns, no drivers licenses, nothing. They will refuse. Then give them your phone number and let them know if they change their mind to call you. Leave. THEY call EVERY time.

> openly admitted to lying

Proof please
I honestly find these stories 1) not very satisfying 2) hopelessly saccharine and 3) naïve. It’s why I can’t watch Star Trek anymore. Even if you’re an optimist, you recognize it’s going to get worse — a lot worse — before it gets better.

I find the modern punk scene is only becoming more and more political — and because we lack a functioning democracy, violent. I would expect to see more ecoterrorism (there’s been a bunch in the PNW recently that you never hear about because the media doesn’t want to report on anti-capitalist activity lest anyone get any ideas that there might be a movement) and violence protests as the “punks” (often called “anarchists” in the media) arm themselves to match the right-wing loonies. The guys Kyle Rittenhouse shot? Likely all anarchists / punks. The next Grosskreuz will pull the trigger, guaranteed.

I’m an aging punk myself and I’ve never seen a firearms culture in punk spaces until the last few years. These days every Gen Z punk I know has an AR-15 and a pistol. Gun culture is suddenly cool among the urban / suburban set in a way that it hasn’t been with millennials. In the face of all this, I think the author mistakes what she needs in her personal life with what praxis looks like from the perspective of a working class punk.
OEMs must be required to provide all parts at cost plus s/h. And misc docs for free.

I totally get that Apple is constantly under seige from scammers, knockoffs, etc. Not my problem.

Further, setting up official spares channel would likely resolve 90% of fraud by fullfilling a definite need. No diff than acceptible streaming moots most demand for pirating.

Lastly, I'm fine with self repair requiring an official factory reset, or whatever, for stuff dependent on the secure enclave. Like rebinding FaceID to a new camera/display assembly. A fair tradeoff between security and convenience. So I can repair my phone now, suffer with entering PIN, and then make a quick stop at a Genius Bar later, at my leisure, to reenable FaceID. With so many third parties trying to pwn Apple gear, I totally grok
this precaution.
There's something odd about legislation of this ilk. Virtually every comment here bemoans these nefarious activities, and the commenters themselves try to avoid companies that utilize these dark patterns. The market, therefore, seems to be working - the companies that pull this type of nefarious BS find their way into the dumpster of failed ventures (as they should!). Would a law, in effect, force companies to mask their unsavory dispositions? Customer LTV is actually higher when they are given the opportunity to control their subscriptions...

Ask HN: How to value startup equity after Series A and beyond?
There has been a lot of previous HN discussion on evaluating startup offers, but it tends to be focused on very early stage startups.

How do you value your equity in a startup that has raised a Series A round, or a later round, but is still years away from (possible) IPO or acquisition?

What does your process look like for reaching a NPV for your equity, compared to the nominal value of the equity based on the most recent round?
We also used to put jokes and ASCII art in there. I spent way too much time getting an ASCII Kilroy to look just right.

The vaccine relies on the human immune response to fight the disease it learned.

If there is a health-pandemic, that suppresses the imune-system (like unrecognized diabetes/ vitamin-d deficiency / rheumatic suppression medication) the disease will wage its attack against a weakened imune-system.

Which creates ideal conditions for a full disease break-through.

So Covid only highlights all sorts of failing health systems.

Well, I use OBS to build Debian packages at work. But I guess companies want to have their own shiny thing, even if it is inferior to other solutions.
no - it is a statistical artifact that reinforces everything we have heard about the limitations of any vaccine.

Gitea is a perfectly fine lightweight Git hosting platform. However you need external CI/CD, project management and what not; with GitLab that and a lot of other things come included.

Yes. Especially if there's some reason that the unvaccinated are interacting with each other disproportionately more often than the vaccinated.

I’ve tried that workflow with multiple public and university libraries. While the experience varies from Library to Library— my current underfunded city seems not to have current non-archive digital newspaper access at all— and some new commonly adopted platform I’m not aware of might have solved the problem, the workflow isn’t compatible with the way most people discover news stories. It works decently, even if a bit clunky, if you are moderately database savvy and your use case resembles a print user’s— i.e. browse today’s headlines from a small number of sources and use them to decide which articles to read. (Which is also probably the best way to avoid algorithmic bias if your source choice is solid.) However, most people access their news on a whim through social media, web searches, and aggregators designed to provide only the most relevant and appealing selection of stories without having to think about it.

While you say it’s more practical, that’s an extremely subjective metric. For many people, spending a few bucks a month for something that works with their current workflow and saves rather than costs time is far more practical. Also, I’ve never seen a Library setup that gives access to desirable paywalled extra features like podcasts or NYT Food. I’m sure that’s quite deliberate on the NYT’s part.

I’m happy to give a few bucks a month to news orgs; in fact I wish they were nonprofits that would somehow let me pay enough more to abandon their asinine surveillance capitalism tendencies and expand free access, but I have no idea what that would look like logistically. If there was a network of newspaper-like organizations that operated like PBS and NPR, ideally with its own news wire, that would be a great start, IMO.

People having free and easy access to news from non-government-run sources (PBS and NPR are not government-run, naysayers) is a public good. I wish we could figure out how to shape the industry to reflect that.
Not sure that’s the most comforting analogy to pick. GPS is maintained and controlled by the US military. They can shut it off, used to secretly make it intentionally inaccurate, have dual-band devices to protect against failures of GPS by using competitors, etc
> do we expect that group of people to be able to easily afford housing in a good economy?

Yes. Of course we do. Housing is a basic human need (without which, you are homeless by definition). We should expect all people to easily afford housing in all economies, at all times.

We should expect housing to be as affordable as water or food or electricity is, at all times, in all economic conditions. It should never be "tough" for anyone to afford housing.

I bought a little NUC with an Intel CPU and NICs to run pfSense a few months ago and it's been fantastically stable.

Chrome 96 Breaks Twitter, Discord, Instagram
Google Chrome 96 was released yesterday, and users are reporting problems with Twitter, Discord, and Instagram caused by the new version.

BleepingComputer reports:
The issues have been reported to Google in a Chromium bug post where Google employees have started to investigate the problems. "We're continuing to see user reports about this behavior, including reports from our social team," notes Google product manager Craig Tumblison. "One user has shared that disabling the "chrome://flags/#cross-origin-embedder-policy-credentialless" flag resolves the behavior.

Another report shares a specific error message: "The connection was rejected at https://cards-frame.twitter.com". Test team, would you be able to try enabling that flag to see if the behavior appears?"

The 'chrome://flags/#cross-origin-embedder-policy-credentialles' flag is related to a new Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy feature released with Chrome 96. Google states that you can fix these bugs in some cases by setting the "chrome://flags/#cross-origin-embedder-policy-credentialless" to disabled. If you are affected by these issues, you can copy and paste the above chrome:// address into the Google Chrome address bar and press enter. When the experimental flag appears, please set it to Disabled and relaunch the browser when prompted.

There is something wrong with the stats in this article:

"Co. Waterford has recorded 470 new cases of Covid-19 in the last week, accounting for nearly 5% of the adult population."

That would suggest there adult population of Co. Waterford is only 9,400!?

According to wikipedia its actually 116,176, so actually only 0.4% were infected last week.

If they meant 470 per 100k population that would still only be 0.47%...

As an indie software maker it frustrates me when I have to pay 50$ dollars to have a decent cloud server setup to run my apps. Yes there are 5$ shared vm-s, but I want a decent enough ram and cores to lift my load. And a 4gb ram and 4 cores shouldn't cost me 50$ either.

I knew when WASM was introduced, this will bring out a new dimension of computing power available at affordable cost. But I wasn't sure how. But now I know. Cloudflare is doing some incredible work here, launching cloudflare workers and then capitalizing it to bring low cost computing to other edges. If lucky, we might enter an era where cloud infrastructure doesn't gets polarized into hands of tech giants like amazon, microsoft and stays affordable as it once was.
I know history tends to repeat itself, but I honestly didn't expect this particular bit of history to repeat itself with basically the same players again so soon.
It could be possible that [some, (0,100]%, portion of the benefit provided by] the vaccines wear off after a certain amount of time. This makes statistics like 99.7% of Waterford have been vaccinated perhaps less insightful than something like 34% (or whatever the actual number is) have been vaccinated in the last 6 months.

edit: added [some portion, (0,100]%, of the benefit provided by]

That's an excellent point. I can feel burnout creeping in not because I'm pushing to achieve but just because of the stress required to tread water.
Between Netlify, Vercel and bigger providers like Cloudflare and AWS, there are plenty of companies trying to own static websites.

After R2, I have a feeling Cloudflare will come up with a competitor soon and swallow the entire market.
The cringeability of DA's in "resistance" pins hangs on the notion of a unitary state, singular in its motivations and goals. That's something we hardly have in the USA (partly because of the geographic size of the country, partly because of the ideological diversity). I'm not saying that I think DA's wearing such things is a good idea, but merely that it's not absurd just because the are literal agents of "the state".
But that's the thing.

If it's self-service repair; then Apple's name is not on the quality of the repair, that's 100% clear. Apple's name is, however, on the quality and availability of the parts, instructions, and repairability.
I use Netlify exclusively for all my personal projects. It literally takes like 2 minutes to stand up a site with automated deployments from github. For that alone it's wonderful. I think they're doing serverless functions now - haven't touched them but interested to see what they do there.
