I use iCloud+ which launched in the fall with custom domain support. It's kinda been nice having a simple email system where I use native apps rather than a web interface. For $2.99/mo, the whole family can share 200GB (not $2.99 per person; $9.99 will get you 1TB). That seems cheap compared to a lot of stuff.

I used to use Zoho which was fine, but at $6/mo was only offering 10GB per user (rather than 200/5 = 40GB) and didn't handle things like photo storage.

I looked at Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) which seems like a good deal at $8.33/mo ($99.99/year). Each user gets 1TB of storage, it comes with Microsoft Office (both web and the programs), OneDrive, email, Microsoft Editor (for things like grammar checking), etc. Ultimately, I didn't want to transfer our domains to GoDaddy and that's the only way Microsoft supports custom domains for email. Still, if you have a family of 5, that $8.33 becomes $1.67/mo which is really cheap considering that it comes with a full version of Microsoft Office and 1TB of storage per-user (with Dropbox-like OneDrive). Google charges $6/user for 30GB and $12/user for 2TB. While 2TB is more than the 1TB offered by Microsoft, $12 is a lot more than $1.67 (and you don't get Microsoft Office).

iCloud+ doesn't come with as much stuff as Microsoft 365, but it's been nice having something that feels like a simple email experience. No more fancy auto-classification of my email. I can just set up some simple rules (though they execute on the client and not the server) and I'm enjoying using Apple's Mail app. At $0.60/user, iCloud+ is working nicely. But I can definitely see why someone would like Microsoft 365. Their family plan is an amazing value.
No Kubernetes and Blockchain ?
They were absolutely not being "quite cautious."

Quite cautious would have been, "A Study That the CDC Used," which connotes that the evidence was considered. Rather than "The Study That Convinced the CDC," which connotes that without this evidence, the CDC would have been convinced NOT to have mask mandates.

They had a click bait title, and Facebook temporarily pumped the brakes on spreading the story.
AFAIK, we don’t have a lot of “daily life” text from early Roman times. We have architecture and stone/tile art, from which we learn a lot about culture. And we have major milestones where those justified documentation. “Soldiers: how you get paid” is not likely in any of what we have. And it may not have been written; literacy was not high.
Nah, he did not.

He proved that "it" cannot prove its own consistency. (Where it can express Peano arithmetic.)

But "it" is not the whole of mathematics. There are "weak" systems that can prove their own consistency. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-verifying_theories )

I'm interested in the eventual outcome of this case:

> "This case presents a simple question: do Facebook and its vendors defame a user who posts factually accurate content, when they publicly announce that the content failed a 'fact-check' and is 'partly false,' and by attributing to the user a false claim that he never made?" wrote Stossel's attorneys in the lawsuit. "The answer, of course, is yes."

I hope there is no settlement if it proceeds.
Link an example please
That is not legally correct. The FDA has some limited authority over commercial speech by companies selling drugs, supplements, and medical devices. However there is no legal basis for the government to censor medical speech. It is perfectly legal for a physician (or anyone else) to make bullshit claims like "5G radiation causes COVID" or whatever. Organized medical societies have no special legal standing when it comes to speech.

Of course Facebook has a legal right to censor anything they want for any reason, or no reason at all.
Same here, I personally can move anywhere in the world. But restriction come from wife.

The news frequently talks about short staff at hospitals, in my own observations.

Is there any evidence supporting vaccine requirements being a larger source of nurse attrition than burnout?
There's typically a central time source sending a 1Hz pulse into the main computer(s). The sensors will use something like Time Triggered Ethernet, RS-485, or a MIL-1553 bus.
And now we can even do the same exercise across multiple compiled languages to prove point that C isn't special.
The issue in my opinion is that there are various, almost-equally "true" perspectives that can be reenforced with facts and presented. That there is no single objective truth to all matters means that biases (political, religious, etc.) act as a lens and the "truth" presented on fact-checking sites (and elsewhere) is shaped by this lens. This is why you can have news organizations with different political slants painting a story two entirely different ways, without directly lying.
Personally I find it hard to get bored. When I'm facing serious work inhibition (anything worse than compulsive HN use) I take it as a serious sign to look for change.

Documentation is a big part of the "definition of done" for most projects, I've seen it make the difference between an open source project that gets users and one that doesn't. Probably the work that you want to do to finish a small project is 1/3 of the work that it takes to make it into something that connects with other people.
Oh I agree, that's been vast majority of my experience too. That's why I was surprised when I paid attention and realized my friend would meet somebody and observe and classify them as a "taurus with a bit of gemini" (or whatever) regardless if what their actual birth sign is. It transformed it into a observational classification system! To her, calling somebody Capricorn is like somebody else observing "this person looks like INTJ" or "Intuitive on disc model" or whatever. It was fascinating :)
"Sometimes, looking at the reality through a certain lens yields interesting insights. "

I surely agree to that.

But your lenses can also give you a distorted, faulty view of reality. And many people go with that, because it looks nicer.
The child asked for it lol. But maybe they can evaluate safety of advise.
Questions for the guy would be:

- did the title had to be THAT inflammatory (did it have to say "JUNK", did it have to make the link to the CDC reaction to it rather than the main point)

- was Facebook the right place to share such important insight, rather than a research paper, or even a letter to the CDC

- is it the right reaction, in a sensitive period with sensitive misinformation, to further inflame the whole thing saying that not only masks are junks for schools (at least his title makes you think so on facebook), that now it's even fact checkers that are wrong...

I don't know why this guy can't solve problems and just create new ones, but damn he's wasting a lot of people's time and produce very little value outside of more anger, more doubt and more division :D
Well, their website[1] has downloads for Linux, Android and iOS. But personally, I did not use any of them.

I pay for and use Fastmail just in the hopes that an alternative to Microsoft/Google/Apple continues to exist.

I have never had problems with it.
Keep in mind that this is _reaction time_. As in, if something happens to an engine how fast do I need to react to safe it before it spreads to other things. Turns out that 20ms response time is plenty appropriate.

Are there any processes in combustion dynamics faster than 20ms? You bet there are, and when the engine is being tested they are instrumented with high speed probes, because during development/testing you want to _understand_ what’s going. When you are flying you want to stay in control first and foremost.

Of course, it would be awesome to have everything on high speed data acquisition channels. But there is a very limited telemetry budget and everyone is fighting for it. So compromises have to be made.

There probably are high speed probes on the rocket, such as strain gages. And if an engineer thinks that having a high speed engine metric would be _critical_ to do postmortems then it will most likely be included.

So, I would say that assigning telemetry budgets it’s a holistic process where multiple teams fight/cooperate to share that budget and prioritize absolutely critical data channels.
I was just doing something like this and thinking “I do this in SQL all the time but users like to change things up so much it should be a native array thing.”
Yea, iCloud+ has been a simple, just-works solution. There's nothing fancy, it just kinda works how email should work.
People trusted media. But then media was exposed as partisan, and then as outright liers.

So fact checkers were invented.

Now fact-checkers are exposed as being partisan, and sometimes outright lying (see BMJ vs FB fact-checking fiasco).

So we need to go deeper, we need to invent something new, above fact checkers, which will be trusted again.

What could such a thing be?
I don't think which user agent they fake is particularly interesting, the point is they fake it.
I think the more salient factor is which facts they choose to check. Better to leave some stories un-checked, so they can be dismissed as only reported by right-wing sources.

In one instance, PolitiFact requested NewsBusters to prove a chart on illegal immigration they posted was true, with the implied threat of labeling it false. When NewsBusters complied within the 14 hour window given, proving their claims true, PolitiFact did.. nothing. No post telling NewsBuster's claim was proven true.

The only major changes that I'm aware of since python3 has been the change with keyword arguments in 3.6, and the deprecation of Index and introduction of Constant more recently. Those are big changes, but relatively small and maintainable imo. What challenges have you faced?
" do think that us humans have continuously underestimated the complexity and intelligence of animals... First, we see them as emotionless objects."

No premodern culture thought so. As far as I know, it's only from Descartes on that the opinion you note existed.
+1 for Zoho.

Simple, inexpensive but very effective.
Yeah I mean it is what it is. We can all only work on the space that exists. The big boys control the market and the eco system.

One battery saving idea: there is a ticket to let the user control the interval at which the topic is polled. Right now it's obviously a persistent connection. But likely polling every 5min may consume less battery.
Or for the fancy version, you can raytrace the terrain shadows!

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17065264

The linked post has some good comparisons with derivative-based shading, it does sorta work but you can see it comes up short in conveying actual 3D shape compared to the raytraced version.
I don't think that is reasonable as an interpretation because grid-scale energy storage doesn't yet exist.

An assertion that "renewables and electrification" solves our energy problems is just circular reasoning. It requires a non-existent technology (grid-scale long-term energy storage) and so doesn't fall into the category of "solution" and more into the category of "speculation".
If you and I are experts, and I gave you a hundred pieces of evidence, and you were already convinced by the 20th piece of evidence, and they're all complicated and hard to understand, and then I gave you one more piece of evidence that had a really easy to understand statistic you could easily share with lay people, how would you communicate with the public? Would you purposefully avoid sharing the really easy to understand statistic? Would someone be correct that that one piece of evidence was "what convinced you?"

You and I don't know how heavily this study weighed in their deliberations, and we especially don't know it to a degree of certainty to say "THE STUDY THAT CONVINCED THE CDC."
What an incredibly sad read.
Not that i would trust Facebook with fact checking generally, but these people sound to me like antivaxxers who got away on a technicality.
My bad xD, to my credit it's mentioned later in the article. But you're right, I should add that in the beginning.
I have seen a dozen adds from Doordash promoting becoming a “Dasher” in the last several days; perhaps they are just having issues with staffing?
This is excellent. I one-time taught a college level cybersecurity course and definitely tilted my syllabus away from the typical stuff you see in favor of things like this.

It's all good to play around with John-the-ripper and whatnot, but more like this is needed.
I'd be curious to see those reports :)
Get this book(let) pronto - https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/545899/how-to-relax...

Did wonders for me in terms of helping me “empty my mind” and therefore relax, sleep well etc.

I would strongly recommend getting apps like Headspace, Calm after you’ve internalized the “theory” of the practice of relaxation.

Good luck!
So if you have an Alexa in your house and a child says "Hey Alexa" will Alexa ignore that by default? Aren't you just saying that it's the parent's fault for having an Alexa at all?
Madden definitely had a hulking, physical presence about him. I had grown up listening to his broadcasts with Pat Summerall and played Madden on various systems. Fast forward about 10+ years and I had moved to San Francisco and frequented The Grove near Yerba Beuna. I am terrible at recognizing celebrities in real life, but I immediately recognized him when he walked in. I had already ordered so I didn't notice if he cut anyone in line... one of the few times I can remember being starstruck.
I've been hosting my email with Dreamhost for years and have no complaints, the webmail is fine but I mostly use IMAP. $100/year includes shared webhosting, too.
Even the MDs shouldn't be able to speak "censor free." MDs also need to be, and are, held to truth standards by censors.

But considering medical boards can strip them of their MD, maybe there is a chilling effect that prevents false statements.
GitHub user “widevinedump” releases statement regarding leaks
Children ask for (and do) all kinds of dumb things without possessing the agency necessary to evaluate the consequences. That's why our society has the concept of "child-proofing" household objects and appliances. Why would Alexa be any different?
Should do flame-graphs to see what the different frameworks are spending time on. Then you'll see what kind of fruits you are comparing.

And in any language you could probably optimize to make it 100 times faster.
What to believe nothing just live by my intuition which says ignore all for profit biased media and only believe in long term science..years and years of data.. cause an example the CDC in December recommending against the Johnson and Johnson shot which they previously recommended in early 2021 ..omg ..they are still trying to figure this all out out. My intuition says China knows a lot to all and Covid will further accelerate them to becoming the super power of the world... the world just sits by and let's it happen..has helped them get there too. Ughh
A better comparison would be against Bible sales during 2017-2018.

Yeah this is in line with my experience. However there are concerns about the accuracy of quartz clocks as temperatures fluctuate, this poses a problem for some orbital patterns.
Just because there is smart card software for Linux it doesn't mean it will work with $SOME_GOVERNMENT's interfaces.

Ofc in this case feldrim above pointed us to the mac/linux/etc downloads so the estonian government has actually heard there are other platforms besides Windows.
Lots of MDs have been censored lately.
Tempting fate perhaps even to ask, but I wonder if an unmanned refuelling mission might be possible?
I read something recently that stated, if you take all the energy that is required to build a wind turbine and set it up. The cost includes the mining of ores, the manufacturing process, the transportation, setup and the maintenance costs. It can spin until it disintegrates and will never be net positive energy.

I don't know if it's true, it could be full of shit, wish I could find it again.
I think it can be implemented well: there will always be a point where reasonable people agree about what is correct.

That point is obviously very, very conservative (lower case 'c'). Reasonable people can all agree that Covid is a thing that exists, for example.

I don't mind Facebook fact-checking against flat-earthers, "it's just a flu bro", or "Bill Gates put 5g microchips in vaccines". Reasonable people from any place would agree those are counter-factual.

But I tend to get banned from subreddits as an anti-vaxxer because, for example, I say my first 2 shots were Pfizer and I refuse to get Moderna for my third one (Moderna is the only one my government currently permits my age group to get). There are facts for and against this position for reasonable people to weigh. It's still often a ban on social-media for spreading anti-vax misinformation though.
I don't know the guy but he looks very preoccupied with facebook drama, with inflammatory titles, and mounting scandal on top of a scandal. There are people who would rather see the liberal left burn alive than convince a few people not to vote for them for this boring reason 1, and this boring reason 2 and...

It's fun to troll online, but respect... I wouldn't ask for it, I don't think he should either :D
It’s all about expectations. Would you be expecting Alexa to ever tell you to touch mains?

It’s unclear what prompts are answered by a set list of answers (like “tell me a joke”) and what’s scraped from the web.
Interesting point!

I wonder if a good compromise would be for them to ride along with another driver?
Personally I’d have this return a map instead of an object, so that the keys aren’t forced to be strings. Otherwise seems like a reasonable API, very similar to groupBy in any other moderately functional language, except with the “keys must be strings” restriction inherited from returning a plain object.

Also, for those thinking JS objects can have non-string keys, they can’t, it just sometimes appears that way due to JS type coercion: https://www.becomebetterprogrammer.com/can-javasscript-objec...

Edit: as pointed out by shawnz, this isn’t entirely accurate, JS object keys can also be symbols.
The application allows Latvian ID card to be used in the Settings tab. So I learnt that it's applicable to your country too. I recently moved to Tallinn and just became a resident. The thing is they are capable of doing lots of things. And still, there are many things that can be improved.
I am all for it as long as you are in a front line. As far as I remember by your posts you are always itching for action. Do the world a favor. Put your money where your mouth is and sign up for active duty.
I feel it has good intentions, but the realities just don't line up in my mind. Admittedly super negative outlook

The CEOs and executives that actually decide what the product IS will most likely either feign participation, or keep 'rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic'

The leagues of engineers and other relatively disconnected workers being encouraged to do this won't collectively Do Better.

They'll keep trying to keep their heads above water in their sprints/what-have-you, while a vague entity sets the direction
"Spam in a can."
Yes, the expectation was that the risks are those you bought insurance for. Additional protection against being bullied by other insurance companies is not obvious.
"maybe there is a chilling effect that prevents false statements"

Or a chilling effect of unpopular opinions and facts.

And a much harder climate to find out, what is a fact at all, if you have to be scared, that some government commitee strips you of your right to publish, if they do not like your results.
I was very lucky to not need a masters, 3 years BEng and then 3 PhD. I couldn’t have done another year. I was dying to get out but the end. My wife did 3,1,3 and I have no idea how she did that extra year.
Proton Calendar isn’t really ready for use feature-wise. It lacks at least proper iOS/Watch app and capture of .ics events from emails (basic use case of importing appointment confirmation to the calendar).
I would not consider Proton as a proper replacement of Google or Microsoft subscriptions for now, but looking at their open vacancies it may become a viable alternative in 2-3 years.
> yet [Florida's] covid rate is lower than New York, California, and Massachusetts

If you're talking about deaths/1M pop, California (1905) is much lower than Florida (2905) whilst Massachusetts is fractionally higher (2922) but New York (3068) is dramatically higher, yes.

If you're not talking about deaths/1M pop, which rate are you looking at?

When I was around 5-6 I wanted to know what would happen if I put a hairpin into a light socket. It seemed a reasonable experiment beforehand; after I picked myself up after flying across the room I learned a valuable lesson. Around the same time I tested whether Santa existed by putting out food; when no one ate it I assumed Santa was fake. Children are not very experienced at knowledge and thinking and often do things that confound adults. Giving them access to something they do not yet have the ability to understand or discern can be both useful (learning) and dangerous and it's up to parents and other adults to make sure it's not going to kill them, yet at the same time not completely stifle learning.

I could say I eventually became a programmer because I nearly fried myself doing a test...
I moved my employers domains to MarkMonitor circa 2012 (after NetworkSolutions had an incident, and after I recovered from shock that my boss had used NetworkSolutions for anything after 1999!). They had a pretty high minimum annual spending requirement, so personal domains is out, unless you have an absurd number of them.

But, MarkMonitor does offer the most important security feature, RegistryLock, if supported by the Registry. A registry lock is enforced by the registry, and if you want to make changes to the domain at all, you need to contact the registrar and let them know; then they contact the registry and the registry will contact you during your business hours to validate the request, according to your preset instructions. From what I can tell, it works; we had to wait a day to change our nameservers once cause my boss didn't answer his phone to provide the authentication.

RegistryLock was a for pay feature, and not an insignificant amount.
It is thought that these tribes worshipped Satoshi Nakamoto, who they believed to be the creator of Bitcoin, and that when the final bitcoin was "mined", a new era would begin.

It is unknown if Satoshi Nakamoto was in fact a real person, as there is there are no surviving primary sources or direct evidence of his existence.

Who fact checks the fact checkers? Why we fact checked ourselves and found nothing wrong.

Let's not forget the fact that those teams are also severely understaffed.
Most biases are detrimental (political, cognitive, various phobias), but I'm not sure that a bias toward truth ought to be discouraged. If "in favor of truth" and "leftist" happen to correlate for some particular issue, that doesn't necessarily mean a truth bias needs to be avoided.

Nice username :)
