like Apple to reduce them to a single point of view.

Maybe? Americans also tend to be individualistic (often to a fault, many would say)so I'm not sure there's a cultural significance at work here.

It's probably informative that British English tends to refer to most (all?) collective nouns this way. It's not some corporation-specific thing.

Sports teams are the most obvious example - a Brit would say "Team A have defeated Team B" rather than "Team A has defeated Team B."

I honestly think simply raising the minimum wage gradually to inflation-adjusted $20/hour and then adjusting for productivity increases over time would permanently address these issues. Another option is to adjust based on local cost of housing, ie 4 times the average two bedroom apartment rent.
This wouldn't work, at least not outside of places like HN with a strong technical bent and a strong assumed knowledge base of the people.

I've done fact-checking work professionally; it's not that fact-checking itself is difficult, it's that fact-checking can only work as intended in certain information environments, and mass media is NOT one. I've also studied filter bubbles, algorithmic influences on political POVs, etc.

Your proposed system might work in a vacuum, but unfortunately, our modern landscape is NOT such a vacuum.

Issues with your proposed system:

2.) What counts as a claim? Is 'the sky is blue' a claim, or is that common knowledge? We clearly wouldn't flag common knowledge because using the flag when it's not necessary deprecates the usefulness of the flag, but then who decides what counts as common knowledge, particularly across different cultures and countries?

3.) A common metadata way of judging someone online is through their sources. Think of many subreddits which don't allow certain 'left-wing' or 'right-wing' sources. The supporting text will be upvoted and downvoted based on the readers' idea of the source: In the politics subreddit, a NYT 'claim support' would be upvoted while a WSJ one would be downvoted. Instead of using headlines as proxys, the URL would be: "Oh, it's X. They just always lie. Don't even need to check; downvote, nobody listening to THEM could be correct."

4.) Once the whitelisting and blacklisting go into effect and people are aware of it, the voting becomes even more distorted as certain people with grudges can both climb community hierarchy (and therefore put themselves in positions of influence and say things like 'we don't read X here, they're all liars') and encourage voting en masse to blacklist certain sites they disagree with.

5.) This is terrible for search and archiving as well as for tracking bad actors.

And that's just off the top of my head.
Also important to note:

The study finds no evidence of Omicron having lower severity than Delta, judged by either the proportion of people testing positive who report symptoms, or by the proportion of cases seeking hospital care after infection.

With the qualification:

However, hospitalisation data remains very limited at this time.

So, hopefully this proves to not be the case. Given the speed at which this variant appears to be ripping through the UK—with cases doubling every ~48 hours—it could quickly cause quite a lot of pressure on the healthcare system – not to mention the knock-on effects of so many people isolating.
Yes, it is very similar to what Wikipedia does. In fact I'd say the only real distinction is that what I'm describing in theory should enforce evidence far more strictly and on a more granular basis than Wikipedia does with articles.
It's just a flippant way of saying "hiding the URL or parameters behind running JavaScript that serves no other purpose than obfuscation". See also this commit:

https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/commit/404f611f1c4aa516fbc4...

Of course this is easy to solve, but every layer of obfuscation they add generally requires someone to go and work around it in yt-dlp. It's mutually assured time waste on both sides.
I wonder if that's a factor in the Pfizer/BioNTech vs Moderna performance. Moderna had a higher dosage, but it was also 4 weeks between doses instead of 3.
Argo workflow looks like the best of both worlds to me. You can easily build up complex etl/data processing dags where each step is a docker container, so you can choose the best tool for the job. Argo has all the retry/backoff logic built into it and you can plug the workflows into Argo events. It runs on kubernetes so you can scale your compute according to your workflow demands
One thing that puzzles me: why people (still?) use Facebook? What's so good about it? There are dozens of platforms where people can post their thoughts, like and be liked.

The Swedish government regards the claim that they have not implemented lockdowns similar to many other countries as a myth:

>Swedish foreign minister Ann Linde said that the "so-called Swedish strategy" was one of many myths about Sweden, and described it as "absolutely false".

>...Remarks similar to Linde's have also been made by Lena Hallengren, Minister for Health and Social Affairs, who disagreed with the belief that Sweden had a radically different approach to the virus compared to other countries, saying she believed that there were only differences in two major regards: not shutting down schools, and not having regulations forcing people to remain in their homes.[161]

>Linde has also spoken out against reports of Swedes not practising social distancing, calling it another "myth" in the reporting about Sweden, and she said Sweden's combination of recommendations and legally binding measures had so far proven effective.
FWIW: We had ergonomics consultants in 3-4 years ago and they recommended displays be lower because having them higher makes your eyes open wider and dry out more. If you have problems with dry eyes, maybe try lowering your display?
> Omicron largely evades artificial intelligence from past infection or two vaccine doses according to Imperial's latest report.

Hmm, still nothing.
From what I understand it is about affinity maturation. Basically, when you get an initial vaccine (or infection) your immune system learns how to recognize the antigen (the virus spike protein) and produces a bunch of antibodies to recognize it. But your immune system also preserves the spike protein in antigen presenting cells so it can continue to produce antibodies to recognize more features of the spike protein. Over time, your immune system learns how to produce a broader range of antibodies that are (in aggregate) more likely to recognize partially mutated versions of the antigen. That's the affinity maturation part.

So when you get a booster (or a breakthrough infection) your immune system kicks into gear again but now it produces a broader range of antibodies. In addition the number of antibodies produced from the booster is quantitatively much larger than from the first vaccine. So with a booster you end up with more antibodies but also a larger variety of antibodies that can recognize different features of the spike protein (including features that are consistent between variants).

That's my understand at least but I am not an immunologist.
Good idea, but you have to work on its bugs.
I wonder if they saw more traces from the theme park wastewater...

Business idea: device that you plug to your home wastewater output, scans it, and reports to you anything interesting.

Slack’s threads suck compared to Zulip’s. In Slack, threads only notify thread participants unless you choose to send it to the channel too, which defeats the purpose of threads by interrupting other conversations. In Zulip, everything in the channel/stream must be a thread, kinda like email.

I wonder how much business Western cyber companies have with China? If I recall, the Great Firewall was actually started by a US company built out of either an IARPA or DARPA project. It wasn’t until many years later that DoD started using similar products, only then after they jailed (Shawn Carpenter).

The big problem was that JWTs specifies the signature algorithm alongside the signature. Some naive implementations allowed all supported algorithms by default... one of which is "none". So an attacker was able to create a key with no signature and the application would accept it. I think nowadays all implementations require you to specifically whitelist the allowed algorithms.

But yeah, JWTs (technically JWS) overlaps with ItsDangerous, but ItsDangerous is much simpler and has fewer footguns.
Gatekeeping in the software industry is a surefire way to slow down innovation. Software would stop eating the world, or only take a bite every couple of decades.
It almost certainly does. They even block out a box of their conclusions in grey to draw the reader eyes.

Additionally, the fact they never reached out to the companies at all is telling enough of their agenda.
I just think we would rather use the doses already produced before they spoil than wait for the new ones.
Look, I'm in no way a fan of crypto (certainly not the way it has turned out). But you're thinking too short term. If crypto ever actually becomes widespread, it will be common for a generation that is not even born yet. They will not be (by comparison with their peers) be "tech savvy", certainly no more than today's 5-35 year old's are with respect to using smartphones.
I downloaded a big (like 330gb) audiobook playlist month ago. It started at like 3mbit but YT throttled it to 64/kb after a few hours but still responded.

Now its throttled like everytime. Will look into yt-dlp.
It's the german word for Tokyo. There is little reason for a non-rust dev to know this other meaning.

I hate these ambigious HN vaguebait headlines and you should too.
It's a pertinent fact of the case and answers an obvious question most would have. After reading your proposed edit, since "that nation's secret police" is mentioned, the obvious question most would instinctively have is "what country are they talking about?"

Reading the letter as a whole, it seems harassment and free speech was the main focus. "China" is mentioned once, and "Chinese" is mentioned once.
Thank you, this can replace my own plugin I've hacked together some years ago. (Not published, was mainly a learning exercise.)

The most frustrating thing is: my plugin still works fine. But I cannot easily enable it permanently any more. I can temporary load it. But my own Firefox doesn't allow me to trust myself permanently. Maybe I'd have to submit it for signing or use some special version of Firefox... can't be bothered. It feels so disempowering.
Using a tool to violate copyright isn't a valid legal defense.
> In a trustless environment like defi, why would anyone other than the most gullible put their money in any smart contract that doesn't have open sourced code?

So... this is a thing for techies only? The rest of the world that can't read the code will have to trust the techies that say "this is good".

As a not-JavaScript-devleoper, open sourced optimal written JavaScript is only slightly less inscrutable than minified or compiled JavaScript.

So, would I be gullible to put my money into a smart contract written in JavaScript?

Most of the world can't verify the code and will need to trust someone. I hope that isn't the password verification commission that calls grandmothers offering to help check out their bank account security.
I'd love to, but when I've tried to set up Aurora, it seems impossible to do multi-regional with postgresql (not multi-zonal, but multi-regional). Would love to hear how to do this if anyone has got it working. Last time I tried was about 2 years ago.
But I did answer it, more than once and with links you can read!

What I cannot do: provide you with a single sentence stating why you should use Haskell. I don't think anyone can. For the record, I found your single sentence about Rust totally unconvincing as well; I do find Rust compelling because of tutorials, long articles I read about it, and a workshop I once did with a Rust practitioner. None of this is equivalent to debating/convincing on HN.

(Similarly, I find Go not compelling because I had to use it for my day job and everything about it made me chafe).

So my advice to you: read the links I provided, and keep in mind they are just a starting point. Do a workshop. Work on a midsize problem, maybe also write some Advent of Code Haskell solutions.

Or not. It's ok to just go with your gut feeling and focus on Rust. There's a finite amount of time you have available for exploring technologies. Rust will serve you well.
Zulip is implementing the same bad architecture as google/ms/apple/fb's messengers (custom protocol, no federation), but at least it does it well (open source, usable, do-one-thing-well, no dark patterns, powerful and stable API).

So the question is how much money they concealed by those widespread recordkeeping failures. I'm assuming it's more than 125 mil
> You can’t just round up some CS students and have them produce a website compliant with international law for free.

But the issue isn't "international law" in the general case (which, indeed, would be very hard), it's the specific case of the GDPR, the solution to which (for this particular site, which only serves static content) is mind-numbingly trivial: don't collect personal data, don't set cookies. That's it. That's all you have to do.
Well... that seems to be working? The story isn't a fact. Got marked as not a fact. What's the problem?

As a short-term housing operator in the Bay Area, specializing in hosting tech workers, we've witnessed first hand the decline in quality of life and exile of the tech traveler.

It started with homeless people camping out in front of our units in SoMa and Mission (often times blocking the entrance/exit because some units had a direct street-level entrance), petty package theft and occasional car break-ins in the building garages.

Police couldn't do anything but take a report.

Then the pandemic started and the vacancy rate skyrocketed. We started getting reports from neighbors or the on-site management that are our guests are dealing drugs out of our units. Except that these units were supposed to be vacant. Our lockboxes were getting broken into, keys taken and people have been living there for several days and in some cases weeks. We often had footage of this.

We would call the police as we arrived at these units for our protection, but they wouldn't be able to arrest anyone because the people in the unit would say "so and so gave me the keys, told me this is their apartment, I don't know anything about that broken lockbox."

This scheme quickly expanded to Cupertino, Sunnyvale, Milpitas and other South Bay cities. We would call the police on a daily basis in the first few months of the pandemic. Sometimes it would take them an hour or two to come, and if the squatters saw our team at the building and got wind of what was going on, they would start packing up their car with our appliances: Apple TV, Nespresso machine, we've even had furniture and major appliances like TVs, washer and dryer rolled out while we were waiting for the police to come.

At most they would temporarily restrain these squatters if they had previous warrants (many of them did, but many others didn't produce an ID.) But even with warrants for their arrest, they would get uncuffed and released within an hour. We thought that at least a warrant would have them appear in front of a judge and we'd not have to encounter them again in a few days at another building, but the pandemic gave them a free pass.

The officers were very candid in saying that if it was up to them, they would book them, but they have instructions not to bring anyone in for non-violent crime. Theft is not prosecuted.

This is how it goes, anyone that has any doubt that crime is not prevented, pursued or prosecuted should go on a ride-along to any of these calls.

You bet, 125 mil is just cost of doing business.
Why should Facebook be the platform where people post facts? Facebook has no responsibility of implementing any constitutional rights if they don’t want to. If people don’t agree with Facebook’s terms of service then they should use a different platform. This is what ultimately create better platforms for other types of discussions
> Human rights cannot be rights for someone else to build or do something for you, because it inherently causes a restriction or obligation to someone else.

One person's right is always another person's obligation.

There is no other way to have a meaningful right of any kind.

> Also it's possible that reality simply says the right cannot be provided, and reality tends to beat policy. For example if there are twice as many people who need housing as available houses, no amount of claiming that housing is a right is going to overcome the underlying reality.

This is equally true about all other rights. For example, there may be inadequate resources to enforce a right against being murdered.

In a sense, as long as there still are murders, then this is actually is the case.

However, in the housing case, it's counterfactual. There are no non-social resource constraints. Homeless people aren't even allowed to set up their own tents.

It's a cruel kind of gaslighting to suggest there are inherent resource limits when we can all watch videos of cops slashing those tents and evicting entire encampments. It's just not reality. Bringing that kind of counterfactual unreality into a political discussion of a stark situation is not being good to the people affected.
Firstly, YMMV, different people got different separations of different vaccines. The US doing Pfizer 3 weeks apart was the fastest. The UK gave out AZ and Pfizer. First at a 12 week interval, then shortened to 8 weeks

The question is: too quickly for what? My understanding is that

a) If the goal was optimal immunity in the longer term then yes, it might be overly quick.

b) But if the goal was fighting the raging pandemic that needed urgent actions right now as "the house is on fire", and you have a lot of vaccine doses, then no, maybe not too fast.

Finally, a lot of vaccine courses require more than 2 doses, separated by more than a couple of months. UK standard childhood vaccination schedule for instance. "Polio" is in there 5 times. Polio is a memory, but only because because to this day they don't mess around with vaccinating against it
Zulip does most things better than Slack. I can't stand Slack, it's slow, bloated, and the UX is bad. Zulip's UX is a breath of fresh air. It's just so quick to catch up on old messages, mute irrelevant threads, see everything in chronological order, zoom in or out... I just love it.

Thanks for answering, I always wonder how people find out things like this. For me it's like racism, how will you ever know the real motivation? I guess sometimes you will get some discreet feedback.
These fact checkers are typically folks from the world of journalism. Those are not the people I consider to be experts on all subjects, certainly not deeply technical subjects like medicine.

I'm also not particularly confident that these social media companies have safeguards in place to ensure that their 3rd-party fact checkers are operating in good faith.

I don't think you need to jump to the conclusion that they're always operating in bad faith though - I think much of this is explained by a lack of competence in a field, overworked employees, low standards, and groupthink.

Came here to say this. I even tried with a VPN to see if the download speed wasn't throttled with it, but it's still ridiculously slow.

What you're talking about is a real problem, but I don't think it's the same problem that the article is talking about. There's a lot of journalism that isn't trying to stir up strong emotion, that actually does look like it's trying to be calmly informative -- and when I see it, it's usually what the OP calls a story: "[...] a temporal snapshot of one journalist's interpretation of an issue. Just a tidy little pile of motivated reasoning with a few cherry-picked citations, and then we move on to the next story."

I suspect that news sources that are trying to brand themselves as impartial and trustworthy could get more trust without sacrificing many eyeballs if they'd switch from a story format to a regularly-updated "Here's what we think we know, how we think we know it, and how confident we are about it" format.
