Yes I'm heavily involved as a leader in my local community and spend about 70 days a year volunteering in it and supporting the people who live in it. How does that compare to you?

Not very favorably, but points for puffing out your chest in public. The internet loves virtue signaling.

I just can't respond to the rest of it because it is victim blaming, tangential, or assumes that the business isn't viable, and that there is a level playing field.

Your entire logic seems to be that if small stores can't compete, they should get go out of business. That only leads to a handful of companies controlling all of the commerce in the nation, which is not good for anyone.

You: "Hey, Neighbor Bob! Look at these great screws I got from Amazon."

Neighbor Bob: "I sell those screws in my hardware store. Why didn't you buy them from me?"

You: "Because Amazon delivered them right to my door!"

Neighbor Bob: "I can't do that for a $1.99 sale."

You: "Then it's your fault for not being a trillion-dollar company. You should go out of business and live under a bridge. That's what's good for our community!"

Bringing this to the article, the authors are outside that consensus. They believe that Crohn's is an immune response directed toward a bacterium, rather than toward the self.

The hypothesis in the paper is that Crohn's isn't autoimmunity and that improving hygiene might prevent or treat it.

Edit: They do mention a training set factor, but at the level of population genetics instead of at the level of an individual developing immune system. Their evidence is that a history of the plague, rather than hygiene, promoted a genetic immune system weakness that made people more likely to survive the plague, but that Crohn's is a consequence of that today. A related example that comes to mind is the prevalence of sickle cell anemia in regions with malaria.
These are mutually contradictory:

> Nobody has been "conditioned" to think anything.
…
> Elementary psychology -- one that's studied at 9th grade where I live -- could have told them that it's super hard giving people something for free and then taking it away. People don't react well to that and never have.

That was in fact my point: since the mid-to-late 90s, Internet users have become accustomed to thinking that they pay for internet connectivity but that most of the content they view will be free either because it's been subsidized by investors or advertisers. There are exceptions but they generally tend to be either connected to the physical world or a handful of areas like commercial movies or gaming where the major rightsholders were largely successful at preventing people from getting used to free content.

That puts you in exactly the dynamic I described: very few people think that YouTube-level content is something they pay for but their expectations are set by the kind of resources that billions of ad profits can support.

Nice article! One small typo:

> It can be seen that all three sensors correlate very well but that the Vindriktning only shows about 65% of the PM2.5 values of the other two sensors and thus seems to considerably understate the air quality.

I think here you mean "overstate the air quality" right? Or "understate the air pollution"
The real problem with the Jax code is that the non-composable programming language setup put it into a corner where it's using an extremely inefficient time stepping method that it has "optimized", but how is it optimized if you're doing 100 times more function calls than you have to? Algorithms matter, and "optimizing Adams-Bashforth 2" is a pretty silly idea.

Hello, I am the creator of the website.
The main goal is not having to search on UltimateGuitar for the chords of the songs you want to play, but instead get a direct link to the song on UG.

I don't agree. I think while I have a device that's working, it has the right to exist and I have the right to keep using it for 20 years if I want to.

Not everyone agrees, certainly not the majors, but I'm OK with just my little comfortable corner of the Web, which also happens to have no ads, trackers, bloat.js, and so on.
> As for the encryption, it depends on your threat model. Yes, full E2E by default would be ideal, but even with their default cloud encryption they're probably a lot more trustable than Facebook & co. According to their FAQ, the data is scattered across servers in multiple jurdistictions, so a lot of governments would have to team up to get any data out of them.

Well, with WA I know they won't have access to it, except the metadata. With telegram I have to trust they they are probably more trustable.

And yes I know the metadata is more valuable anyway to the likes of FB.

But yeah the ads are going to be in Channels for now, I don't even use those. But I doubt it'll stop there. For me it's a bit like a bridge they cross that leads to a dark path. I don't mind paying for a good chat service but not with ads.

> But also, how do you handle convenient cloud backup/sync with full E2E? WhatsApp and Viber both constantly manage to lose messages for me when restoring after a device reset or switch

I don't really care about backing up my messages. But I send all my chats through Matrix now (with Bridges) so it keeps a log for me there (but on my own server). But I have not see this kind of issue with WA in the past when I did use that feature.
If you wanted to though, I’m sure you could figure out a way to get around this to exfiltrate data and simulate a “hack”. If Snowden could leak NSA data, what hope do you have of securing your company’s data from a nefarious person in a leadership position?

Is it possible, technically yes, but the level of paranoia and mistrust required to prevent this kind of thing is never going to be supported by leadership or other engineers trying to do their jobs.

Should you lock up your root key effectively like you describe? Absolutely. Should you do other things to restrict access to sensitive data? Absolutely. But whatever you do, you’re not going to be able to avoid a sophisticated internal attacker without making normal work extremely difficult.
I want to thank you sincerely for the care you provide to patients and for the solace you afford families. You are appreciated in what you do by many.

I would also like to ask - based on your experience, is there a piece of hardware or software that doesn't exist that would improve the lives of the patients and families? Voice activated, visual UI, thermal sensing, motion sensing, etc, anything you could think of. Any human-machine interaction paradigm.
By being a content creator, you are a money maker for them. Even so, you probably got lucky. thunderf00t has gotten in trouble loads of times for doing nothing but outing bad science. Same with CoffeeZilla and a thousand other YouTubers. I myself got my channel delisted from recommendations entirely (a shadow ban essentially) for making a Covid precaution video about different types of NIOSH masks..
I would be very careful with this kind of evaluation. There are lots of sensors that perform well vs reference instruments but not in the field.

If you want real evaluations, SCAQMD (the folks in charge of air quality for southern california) do evaluations of commercially available, low cost sensors, both against reference instruments and the lab.

See http://www.aqmd.gov/aq-spec/evaluations

You can see what i said is true from the table - lots of sensors that are very well correlated with reference instruments in the lab, but suck horribly in the field.

I would think you would be better off submitting the sensor in question to them, and letting them put it through its paces.

(They publish within a month of finishing testing, and testing takes ~8 weeks)
Both of you would be right at the same time.

You raised high enough to be full-time on Youtube, you have a full history of interactions with their moderators, a track record of videos that performed well, and get to be handle by real humans.

That doesn’t mean it’s the same experience for the vast majority of creators, especially those who upload a video once in a while and have no reputation in the system.

On any Google service I think both sides exist, and the difference is usually pretty stark, like night and day.

PS: on the gov. part, the issue is that Google is economically big enough that there is no counterpart to make them do what they don’t want to. People are turning to govs. because there is basically no other recourse in many situations.

Sounds like we're vigorously agreeing. If you Google "fitness trackers", you might get a Garmin and after a few minutes I found a Coros. But it's mostly Apple, Fitbit, Xiaomi, Withings, Garmin's more fashionable/smartwatch line.

Yes, but because prices (including rents) are sticky -- it takes a while for them to adjust upwards to soak up the additional effective demand produced by increased wages. So long as wages are what's driving inflation, working people tend to reap the benefit. Workers only fall behind when prices grow faster than inflation, as in, for example, the oil shock back in the 1970s.

Even the small capitalist class benefits from the heated-up economy, because the increase in wages results in money being siphoned up from the pre-existing stockpiles of the wealthy, which is where money tends to fall when left to its own devices. When money gets siphoned out of stockpiles and up to people who have to spend it to live, the rise in effective demand makes it valuable to invest in providing more supply, instead of just sitting on the money and collecting interest.

The one major downside to wage-driven inflation is that it hits people living on fixed incomes in the shorts, since it makes pensions and government-provided supports less valuable. This is not a reason to support a heated-up, wage-driven-inflation-powered economy -- it's a reason to support government measures to increase funding for the elderly and disabled in order to match the new value of money.

But at time of submission, you did intend for one of the orders to execute. you didn't know which one, and you'd be happy with either one filled. those orders look bona finde to me.

An order placed, whose entire purpose is to elicit a reaction from others, is clearly spoofing. the spoofer would be unhappy to get filled at all.
> it actually builds a stub program and runs it in qemu for your target arch

That's not at all how the implementation works, the zig compiler does not depend on qemu. The comptime evaluation works much more like evaluating an interpreted language such as python.

You're right that this could be done on LLVM IR. The MinSFI project did exactly that basically, several years ago, but it did not see adoption sadly.

The benefits of wasm over LLVM IR is that wasm has already done the work to define the sandboxed format and build the tooling to compile to it. Wasm is also almost as fast as running normally. (Wasm is also portable and lacks undefined behavior, although for this use case those might matter less.)

See the MinSFI section here which compares it directly to wasm for sandboxing:

https://kripken.github.io/blog/wasm/2020/07/27/wasmboxc.html

And the original MinSFI presentation is here:

this is an example of "price stickiness." People selling goods tend to let the price stay at whatever level it's currently at longer than is strictly rational. Because prices tend to be sticky, wage-driven inflation tends to result in real gains for wage-earners.
I would say this sums it up:

I think it's more about distribution than straight supply. That distribution is largely constrained by employer location (job availability). Lots of cheap housing in Appalachia since manufacturing, coal, and steel has left. There just aren't many jobs, and employers don't want to move there to change that (vicious cycle).
I don't believe that's a very good-faith interpretation; what makes you believe that, man?
Why can't the investors be aware of these sort of things happen? How long can the regulators keep playing catchup so the investors are disillusioned that everything is fair value.
Hey HN,

I see lots of threads/discussions on the merits of WebRTC. I took some time reflecting and typed up this post over the weekend. Would love to hear peoples thoughts!

Also enjoy general RTC conversation as well. If people have questions or comments. These conversations go a long way to making Pion and WebRTC for the Curious better.

Oh another thing, in the chaotic regime which is of interest, standard automatic differentiation schemes don't even apply as you require shadow adjoints given the shadow trajectory leads to inaccurate calculations for the gradient. Julia's system is the only one that I know of that has shadow adjoints for differentiation of ergodic properties.

https://frankschae.github.io/post/shadowing/

So unless the purpose is to only differentiate the simulator for short time periods or in the absence of chaos, I cannot see differentiation as a good justification because AD will not give a stable algorithm on that type of problem.
Do you not do this?

IMO the hard part of immutable structures is mutation (solved by https://lib.rs/crates/im), the hard part of diffing is writing one "command" subclass per type of operation (which can be more or less manageable), and the hard part of mutexes is remembering to lock the mutex or rwlock in every single access (Rust fixes this), avoiding priority inversions (Rust doesn't help), and avoiding deadlocks (Rust doesn't help).
That's not really how archeology works... the idea is to preserve a shared history and ensure discoveries are properly recorded. Also worth pointing out if something is deemed treasure, an independent valuation is made. If the museums concerned choose to make an acquisition they pay the landowner and finder the value of the find. If they don't, it's returned to the finder or landowner.

Becoming a landlord means more buyers for the same houses, thus pushing the housing prices instead, possibly taking them off the market for other's that want to own their own.

I also looked at OwnCloud, but ended up just syncing from my phone to local Mac and doing backups off that regularly.

You could also rsync to other devices. A raspberry Pi with a SSD at home would work fine. If you have a VPN set up on your own network (eg. an ASUS router), you could use it to host photos/backups/music. If you home IP address is dynamic, use a free DDNS provider so you can always connect to your home site.

Just make sure you get a copy of those photos sooner than later!!
To a large extent one can't do this on these platforms, especially Facebook. As they have a tendency to algorithmically include "recommended content". Even if they did, I suspect there is enough overlap into people's follow lists that one would not be able to split these platforms into discrete subsets without cutting off some follows
Right, we should build enough housing that the market takes care of keeping housing cheap.
Lucky you aren't a Javascript developer.

Makes me love the command line.
I don't think it's as obvious or causal as you imply. If every wage increase resulted in a corresponding increase in rent to force people back into poverty it would never make sense to increase minimum wage, or even wages at all.

But that's not the case is it? Wages stagnate, increase or decrease all the time without changes in rent. Rent goes up without changes in wages all the time.

Sure, a local across the board increase in wages might drive up demand and might cause some portion of rent increase, but it's also just as likely to drive up housing prices as people get out of the rental market.

Throwing up your hands and saying "we can't pay them more because landlords will take it all" is disingenuous.
