Yeah I switched to iOS a couple years back after getting sick of some Google/Android “quirks” and like it for the most part.

Ofc I’ve come to find plenty of things I hate about it as well. Notably text editing is the most miserable experience I have day to day. Managing to select the correct bit of text, or moving the caret to a specific position in some text I want to select feels impossible sometimes.
I think google could possibly watermark the original video upload somehow.

It could remove frames or other information from the uploaded video, or it could add some sort of invisible watermark.

Then it's possible that folks who download the video from google and try to submit it would have a less detailed video and could be easily seen as a copy.
I once flew on a 767 with five passengers in total due to the airport being shutdown by a blizzard. We still got the safety brief. I was the only one in coach and a stewardess offered to let me sit up front if I wanted.
No, "often" is derived directly from "oft". This isn't a case of two words having the same root; it's a case of one word metamorphosing into the other word.
i’ve not yet seen a sound sample above a few 100mb, uncompressed. however it’s quite common to see a source model, or even a cooked down version, can absolutely be above 1gb. sound, except soundtracks (mostly), are also reused whereas models are not usually. couple that with one of your reasons, supporting all possible resolutions (PC games are the big offender here), and i don’t see sound being a huge issue. you can also compress sound while in transit, textures will only compress so much. wavs/PCM compress quite well
I don't see where the research article mentions a link to Pfizer (i.e.: acknowledgement, confirmed side effect, etc.) and googling the terms + "pfizer" brings up no official documentation about it.
I missed getting everything from RSS. A couple years ago I built my own engine that could bring in twitter, reddit, here and a few other services that didn't have RSS feeds and published the results to river of news style flow with a few topic specific tributaries. Haven't used it in years but have been thinking about restarting it.
"The issue is that the update is pushed on users with no indication that it will then require payment."

Yeah, that's a valid complaint. The v4 upgrade probably should have been more explicit about that.

There is, we just out here getting work done. Keep trying new pens and come back to old faithful (G2 0.7mm) every time. Writes well, spins well, cheap by the box. A real pen for the working man.

We all do. But advertisers don’t. You can’t spam RSS with ads.
The problem was a great portion of those in power stood to benefit from it. So they weren’t going to neutralize it.
That depends what they know. As this article describes, Amazon is like a federation of mini-companies. So the right team is Great.
Ahh duhhh, completely overthinking it.
Oh sure, not just VM, but in all rented server instances. But we’re talking about home machines here.
In my district we have a lot of teachers that are currently COVID positive with reported symptoms. Relatively mild from most accounts (all vaccinated), but still under the weather. I wouldn't blame any of the individual teachers for calling out - I've called out from my own job for similar symptoms in the past. It's what sick days are for. Of course the system isn't built for this many people to call out sick at once. I think a week or two of virtual "learning" is inevitable in some places, but I don't mind that and I don't think there is a risk of turning into indefinite shut down like what occured in 2020.
Are adults forced to take similar precautions to children?

I got an email this week that story time at the public library is canceled because of covid. No adult venues canceled.
My argument is terrible. That's why yours is found at the bottom, and mine at the top.

Fuck the thieving snakes claiming it is "their" work when an entirely different 3rd party with no prior contract with the pharma snakes uses their own reagents and chemicals and published or reverse engineered synthetic pathway to produce a substance.

"You are free to make your own drugs." I suppose you are, if you're willing to violate the CSA and FDA/DEA regulations, as my comment pertained to being able to buy drugs _someone else_ made in their basement (although I'd also like to include making your own as well).
If you're talking FAANG you're talking hard level. If you're talking a company that fancies itself FAANG, you're talking medium-hard while being treated like a human septic tank, which could happen at FAANG as well.

I think most candidates could give a solution, just not while they are being treated like sardines and prodded with a stick.

It has made me ask myself: do I really want a job at FAANG, or any high level company? I mean if it's pumping out leetcode while simultaneously dealing with office politics and sadistic managers, I think I'll just go back to selling cocaine.

I think that is anti-competitive and if it isn’t illegal already it ought to be.

No, I don’t think I will, Lennart.
We are in Bay Area, CA. My 3 year old has speech delay. The school’s district psychologist to whom we went for evaluation told us that “most of our kids have one to two year speech and social delays now”. All corrective services for little ones, including the ones which cost $120,000/year (many don’t accept any insurance) have month long wait lists now.
I think you've misunderstood or are misinterpreting: I'm not claiming that the majority of people are working on the "proof" aspect of PoW or PoS. Those are, indeed, mostly settled.

The anecdotal claim is that all of the components up the "stack" are focused primarily on chains/substrates/ecosystems/whatever-you-want-to-call-thems that ultimately boil down to just PoS or PoW. Nobody is laboring under the delusion that their NIH cryptocurrency wallet is worth anything in any other context.
TOTP implemented this way is brute-forceable because you can just connect to all of the IP addresses (or pick however many connections you can practically make in 60 seconds and hit those).

There's no way to lock out after N failures or even to rate limit attempts.
The key issue is that the upgrade is essentially forced with no indication that it’s a major version upgrade or will invalidate the license.

Going back to previous versions is a possibility but will require either permanently disabling updates or dealing with deceptive update pop ups. It’s also not obvious this is an option.
Fine. Air travel is already way to subsidized, especially given our current climate emergency.
I waited to upgrade to v4, which I've done now, and I'm still a happy ST user even though I had to pay.

The upgrade dialog (in v3) nagged incessantly, and frequently. It produced a dialog on macOS eating keyboard input, and was really annoying. It wasn't obvious how to turn it off. And it could be more honest about requiring a license upgrade up front.

So all of that wasn't the best thing ever.
Are adults not capable of getting vaccinated and eliminating their risk of severe illness?
I live in an area that has a large number of Catholic elementary and high-schools; they generally have fewer restrictions than the local public schools, and enrollment demand from non-Catholics is through the roof. Nobody wants remote learning, few people even want masks or any restrictions at all; parents hate it, students hate it, teachers hate it--as far as I can tell, nobody wants the outcome we've got, and yet somehow there's this resignation to "Well, this is how it has to be."
Sublime still works pretty well. It's very fast. I've tried VS Code and ended up going back to Sublime. That's a personal preference though, and I can totally understand using VS Code instead.
Covid isn't a war. Using that metaphor is dangerously close to vindicating the anti-vaxxers/maskers who are trying to say that rules equate to violence. It doesn't matter that the "enemy" is a virus.

Wars are usually political and both sides lose heavily. With Covid, "winning" means only that lives are spared from a natural disaster.

Wars are fought by knowing combatants and can be ended with treaties. Covid is a fight against a virus, which has no agency.

Most importantly, wars have sides. Fighting a disease doesn't have sides, only disagreements about how hard to fight and what tactics to use.

Is there some sort of service that identifies these planned-to-be-nearly-empty flights so that you can book them? I would absolutely love to be on a near-empty flight instead of a congested flight, and my schedule is such that I can fly out at more or less whichever time of day I want, so this would be extremely beneficial to me.

Or failing a dedicated service for this, is there at least a manual way of finding out which flights are going to be near-empty?
I am shocked and disappointed that there isn't even a mention of the TUL GL1, which is far and away the best gel pen ever made.

If you read the reviews, you'll see that the only negative ones relate to particular experiences (missing pens from the shipment, pens were used and had low ink, etc.) rather than the product itself.
... And for comparison, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000-watt_society

China uses 1.5 kWh/household... and if I did my math correct again: 54,000 homes in the power use that a household China would use. Or basing it on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_energy_co... (note change in units) a per capita use of 20,300 people in Iran.
As long as you have a decent backend it's no problem. If you're using some python/ruby/JS thing you're probably going to need some kind of reverse proxy to keep up with top of HN. If you're using a Haskell/Rust/C++/etc. compiled backend you're probably fine.

Scientists usually discover probabilities, not facts. Mathematics is an essential tool for science, but most people don't consider it a science itself.
I was just responding to your question.
Our comments are found in the same place because mine is a reply to yours?

You sounds like a very angry anarchist who doesn't really understand R&D works and what kind of effort is required to put into it.

Why would making your own medicines violate the CSA or DEA regulations? You just looking to get high?
you mean it sad to see politicians claiming that vaccinations are harmful, or being unvaccinated doesn't cause harm to others, or something else?

The politicization of the vaccine has been entirely on the antivax side. People are just sick of letting them have free range to terrorise us.
This is an interesting formula. Thanks. I currently have a project that's taking off well but needs more growth to think about funding. Meanwhile as a new father, I am confused if I can hustle between the job and this project. It looks like a no for the most part.

Maybe I should let go of my fulltime job for now but I'm not financially independent. We wouldn't be having any savings either. My goal is to retire by the time I'm 40 and do whatever the heck I want then but I guess with more experimentation right now, the retirement age may keep going up. I can see I'll definitely regret time not spent with my little guy so I am probably gonna have to make peace. It's tough, it feels really tough to give up the side project but maybe it's time
Who is ‘we’?

Ok. Thanks for your thoughts.
True. Whereas most Computer Science communities gather to solve a particular problem (like comprehending natural language), HCI contributions tend to be the problem definitions themselves.

A common CHI paper would read "we studied a set of users X and Y and found that they tend to run into problems Z. We designed a solution W to address Z, and suggest some other work that could be done to address Z better."

The conference thus contains many papers proposing radically different ways of seeing the issues that users face in computing along with radically different ways of addressing them.

If these new-found problem definitions happen to gather enough attention for a sustained period of time, then it warrants a new conference of researchers ready to address those problems. But I don't think this happens often enough in CHI for it to break into sub-conferences very often.

(Also, hi Jason!)
From what I've heard, it's 4x the price per gram in Australia. So valuations like the ones in the linked article must be taken with some context.
It's typical experience for a competition.
Speaking of expensive screwups, one of the most expensive schematic errors ever was the routing of the interrupts on the original IBM PC. It put the serial interrupt on the lowest-priority interrupt pin, instead of the highest. This spawned a trillion-dollar 'communications card' industry that was arguably not necessary. Certainly not necessary to the degree it grew.

Interrupts should be prioritized by latency. Instead, the designer prioritized them by, I don't know, their most favorite to least favorite? E.g. the disk transfer completion interrupt was very high, even though it literally has infinite latency (nothing irrecoverable is going to happen if it's delayed indefinitely).

If I had a time-travel machine that only allowed a 1 centimeter window into the past, I would open a window to that original schematic and swap the disk and comm interrupt lines. That would have changed silicon valley history.
I think this opens another Pandora's box of fake posts from nominated accounts.

Someone nominated their spouse, they are splitting and the spouse makes a fake demise post. Can legit get people to panic if the person in question is famous enough.

Also, if you are careful with your accounts (random 30 character length passwords, 2FA etc) and your nominated successor has not, that's an additional attack vector.

Personal anecdote: The LinkedIn thing happened to me. My skip level manager died in a freak accident (He was 44-45 yrs old at that time) and I noticed his profile until as recently as about a year ago. It still showed him employed at the company. I am sure people got "Congratulate <person> for completing his 5th year at <company>" while his profile was around.
His profile has now been deleted. Not sure who did it or how it happened.
If nobody wants it, why can't they petition the non catholic school board to drop the measures? Why is the catholic school board able to get away with less restrictions?
The next step is “backpack funding”, or letting parents get a voucher for education that follows the student no matter where they attend school, public or private. This will drastically reduce the cost of private education, and combined with the widespread erosion of gifted programs and a general sense of mediocrity pervading modern public schooling, a vast downsizing of public education has started.
Crazy how in other countries schools haven't been closed at all!
Airplane cabin safety can mean a lot if you travel that way. I also find the broader Vision Elite 0.8mm doesn't collect ink around the rollerball, as the Vision/Eye 0.7mm does.

Nothing wrong with the classic Vision/Eye pen. Or Pilot's V5 or V7, for that matter.
that seems more like an innocuous comment to me. says more about gp's character to assume negative intentions
The problem is with the way schools are doing it. I don't see the point of teaching kids on live video. It's better to give recorded lectures with one doubt clearing session/pop quiz every week.

Live video is frustrating and the ridiculous attempts at interactivity don't help. That schools are still bothered about attendance tells you everything.

Kids can watch recorded lectures any time their parents are able to supervise them. And the lectures don't have to be long because they are interruption free.
"people that treat red arrows like stop signs..." I'm not sure what you mean here. Are you saying people stop at the red arrow then turn? In some cases that is legal. A right red arrow out a left on a one way street.
There are a lot of people at every category passionate about what they do.

I’m glad you are finding something fulfilling.

Most crypto developers have causes that have nothing to do with intentionally believing nonsense for a limited time, or greed, or the environmental concerns over using a fraction of the energy that other industries do.
> So, the deal essentially ensures that Apple will not compete.

To be clear, Apple does have search and does sell advertising for it. https://searchads.apple.com

They also attempt to summarize information when you do a system-level or browser-bar search. When the search shows me the local weather or a flight status or gives me a summary and direct link to Wikipedia as I type, they are taking that engagement from Google.

What Apple hasn't shown interest in so far is being a general-purpose internet search engine.
From a tax perspective, there’s some big differences. This is not financial or tax advice, so talk to an accountant or tax professional about this if you need to get serious about it (too late for this company, but not the next)

The sale of your company was an asset sale, which means the amount you made from the sale will be taxed as income. That’s fine for the size of the deal and low complexity of the product. As you said, you sold some code, IP, and design.

If the transaction was much larger, say $1m+, you’d be pushed to the top federal and state income brackets and be paying a lot in taxes. Top federal income tax rate is 37%.

Most larger companies are C-corps, which is a boring way of saying they issue stock, have shareholders, and a board of directors. It’s a more complicated structure, but it’s absolutely necessary if you want to bring in outside investors and/or know you’re going to build a high-growth company.

Under this arrangement, the thing that’s sold is stock. Just like you buy and sell MSFT or AAPL. Selling a C-corp means you sell over 50% of the company stock to a buyer and they control the company. No IP, design, code, or assets are sold—what’s sold is control to all of those things.

Back to taxes: the seller pays a capital gain tax rate, which depending on more factors worth enumerating here, come out to a little above 15%. There’s also this thing called qualified small business stock, which discounts that 15% rate on the first $10m of gains if you’ve held that stock for more than 5 years and sold it (it’s more complicated then that).

The shorter answer to your question, “what more is in a company?” — equity!

But I was told that the singularity was coming, whereupon I could upload my consciousness to the cloud and experience an eternal orgasm of exponentially increasing bliss, thereby nullifying all laws of physical constraints. Did that get cancelled?
i take it to mean you're not locked in to molecule directly.
Ah, I see. I guess I didn’t really experience that because I upgraded early. I had assumed it would just show the prompt once and then go away, but if it kept coming popping up yeah it isn’t great.
You said you’d have to be foolish. I said that you probably shouldn’t think of yourself as foolish. It’s not ad hominem.

I am not going to address your personal comments.

Having said that..you said

[..] Indeed I do. I have deep knowledge of the process in two markets. I also have a very good knowledge of the homeopathic industry.

There have been thousands of homeopathy clinical trials. None has ever proven any effectiveness beyond placebo. So, I asked not for pharmaceutical industry level studies, but for academic level - that’s a much lower bar.[..]

There is not enough information. Can you elaborate about your ‘deep knowledge’ and what is your ‘good knowledge of the homeopathic industry’?

What ‘two markets’?

Links?

Meanwhile: https://publichealth.jhu.edu/2018/cost-of-clinical-trials-fo...

[..] Clinical trials that support FDA approvals of new drugs have a median cost of $19 million, according to a new study by a team including researchers from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.[..]

[..] How much does a clinical trial cost?
The average cost of phase 1, 2, and 3 clinical trials across therapeutic areas is around $4, 13, and 20 million respectively. Pivotal (phase 3) studies for new drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the United States cost a median of $41,117 per patient.
The above-mentioned cost estimates across therapeutic areas were reported by Aylin Sertkaya et al., in a report submitted to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, containing Table 1 below.[..]
I don't think what you say about Ontario teachers is true. Both from my own time in school two decades ago, and seeing my kid's teachers a bit more "close up" due to zoom pretend-learning, there are a lot of great ones. The problem is unions, specifically seniority. I've found an inverse correlation between age/tenure and quality. The worst teacher my kid has had is the only one on the sunshine list (names and salaries of everyone working in the public sector who make >$100k is published in Ontario). The incentives are so fucked up due to seniority that it really damages the school system, but there are lots and lots of passionate and good teachers doing a good job despite it all.
Why can't these articles get to the point sooner. I was expecting to read a description of "virtual learning" and how it deferred from non-"virtual learning", but several paragraphs in and all I got was Ontario this and Ontario that.
Yes, making people work while sick is stupid. Even without covid.

The problem is there's a handful of parents that don't give a fuck and constantly gets the classroom sick. So if you want to abide by that rule your kid misses a ton of school.

Just before the winter break someone sent their kid to school coughing and sneezing. Apparently they were sick enough that the teacher noticed and sent them home within 30 minutes.

I hate people.
To be clear I’m not defending Alex in any way. I think it’s quite clear he should lose his job and probably be in jail, depending on the outcome of the evidence collection and eventual trial, of course.

I was saying the blanket statement than the mere presence of any allegations of any form are enough to indicate a high probability of guilt, and we should therefore enforce punishment on an individual is dangerous. Historically, this sort of attitude has led to a lot of injustice. Black men being put in jail for crimes they never committed on the word of a white woman who was embarrassed to be caught in an affair, for instance. Taken to the extreme, it leads to things like witch hunts.
You can order at-home rapid antigen supervised (over webcam) tests to your home that are accepted for flights. Not sure it would come over night though.

But you're right it is totally broken: they should be auctioning these PCR testing slots to the highest bidder. But of course then there would uproar about "price gouging."

Somewhat similar to how everyone is complaining they can't find PS5s and yet Sony is unwilling to raise topics because the optics would be bad.
> the universe is younger than we thought,

Not really. Don't we estimate the age of the universe by estimating how redshifted the CMB is compared to what we would expect given initial conditions?
