> 2020’s racial justice protests [..] Proud Boys is a far-right group with a reputation for street violence and with several members — including one from South King County — who have been charged with terrorism for alleged actions related to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. [..] protesters were starting to set up the zone that was later called the Capitol Hill Organized Protest, or CHOP. [..] Though some people in the zone may have brought guns regardless of the chatter [..] The murder of George Floyd had sparked more than a week of large-scale protests in Seattle, with the police barricading streets around the East Precinct and deploying tear gas. Later in June, two fatal shootings occurred in the CHOP zone.

Proud Boys are far-right and with a reputation for violence, while BLM/racial justice protesters are "fiery but mostly peaceful", untarred by all their casualties and damage. Like water off a duck's back.
Fucking Rupert Murdoch’s wife.

Why should we hate him for this? Sounds like its own punishment.

Lets face it, for most businesses and pretty much all home users* the best they can hope to achieve is not to get owned by various automated attacks.

I really just can’t believe they didn’t invest in some… cats…

Like, if there’s ever a description of zero fucks given, I think it would have something to do with letting that much money get ruined by rats.

I see multiple other replies of the citations so I won’t repost

@jdavis703 I’m doubtful. I don’t think you’re aware of the sheer ruthlessness of high level narcos… they will brutally kill a lot of people over the smallest grievances, theft of petty cash included. Nobody is stealing %’s of billions of stored money & getting away with it.
Bloodletting was a common therapeutic meassure for a millenia, until a few centuries ago. In other words, something being considered adquate in the past says nothing about its safety by modern standards.
LOL sounds like a good reason to be contrarian to me.

That might be the case for any of these individual flights. My intent was to refute the other commenter's general point that it's a nice thing for airlines to run empty flights for the convenience of the passenger.
Or you could just download Telegram/Signal/Whatsapp/Matrix/FBmessenger.

It is so baffling that downloading an app is where people draw the line and would prefer to spend hundreds of extra dollars instead.
Surprisingly not many people know about the classic Tombow Zoom 505 series: Mechanical Pencil (0.5mm & 0.9mm), Rollerball Pen, Ballpoint Pen and Multifunction Pen - https://www.tombow.com/en/products/zoom_505/ and https://www.tombow.com/en/press/180312/
Because security isn’t a priority at most organizations and outsourcing further diffuses accountability.

This is why I would usually focus on things like WebAuthn (making phishing much harder) or locking down the default browser environment more so it takes more than one click to cause a major problem. That doesn’t prevent social engineering, of course, but that requires a lot more work and gives more time for other safeguards to work.

This is not just something that this airline does. There are MANY airlines that do that, especially internationally, but also domestically in the USA. The reason you likely aren't aware is that you fly at times when the routes are popular.

In the USA there is also a totally different issue, Congressional pork barrel that, e.g., subsidizes a route or even whole airline that serves the interest of a single Congressman so he does not have to take longer routes or fly on limited schedules. There are even famous instances of whole airports being built/funded for that very reason.
On a similar note - does anyone have a recommendation for a budget cdn for video? I don’t necessarily need encoding capabilities (though it’s a plus), but rather high storage/bandwidth options.
Eh.

I'm talking about primary smelters, the ones that take bauxite as input.

You just can't. It'll ruin the chemical composition, the electolysers, you'll have to throw out (somehow, very expensive in itself) a lot of fluoride in various nasty forms, electrolyzer lining, electrodes, etc. This would cause weeks of delays and $ tens of millions lost.

It just can't be done. And it's never done unless a hydroelectric dam fails or something of that magnitude.

alcircle.com is just barely less insane. but just barely. Even NaK eutectic makes more sense.

> But for some reason, everyone else thinks the moral of this story is Believe Experts. Worse, I think the scriptwriter and director and people like that also thought the moral of this story was Believe Experts. I think they asked themselves “How can we create a polemical film that viscerally convinces people to Believe Experts”

Maybe these people watched a very different version than I did, and maybe Scott watched a very different version than I did, but I strongly suspect that this is actually a straw man argument and the people thinking this don't exist and Scott has galloped off with his sidekick Sancho to rid the countryside of the windmill menace. The movie's moral very clearly and heavy handedly is that the government doesn't give a shit about anything but themselves, and media doesn't give a shit about anything but themselves, and rich capitalists don't give a shit about anything but themselves, and the UN isn't going to save anyone, and everyone is fucked because of it, and actually it's a gazillion times worse because actually that government is our government and that media is our media and that UN is our UN so all those people dying are _us_. The movie has nothing to do with "believe experts", and I really think one has to be very blind to think that it is, so... what's going on here?
Like what? There’s no realistic Linux phone and the alternative is an Android phone that doesn’t get updates after a couple years.
My local airport has PCR tests available with results in 35 minutes for $200. Every time I've looked, they have tons of appointments available for the same hour / within a few minutes.

And outside of the airport, last time I flew United directed me to some options that were $150, but had results the same day. At least where I live, there are definitely quicker options if you are willing to pay.
Email ads are more effective than RSS. The reader's email address is known (obviously!) and the content can be targeted individually. RSS is typically a single feed for everyone.

Premium RSS is possible, with individual links per user, but it's much more complicated than just typing your email address into a field (something you already do when you pay for anything). Also, chances of the link being shared around is high and aggregators often inadvertently leak premium links. In contrast, someone's inbox is about as private as it gets.
Yeah apple did this intentionally.

> Database: Firestore – $100 (replace with Cloudflare)

Does Cloudflare have a database offering? Do you just mean the Worker KVs, or is there a full relational database?
This advice is not very good. Probably the best thing in this list is using the “AllowUsers” directive (which makes limiting root access a moot point) and using a good, strong key. There’s not much benefit to using a cert over a password-protected ssh private key.
I'm so happy I stockpiled a bunch of Pilot Execugel pens about a decade ago.
Were that the case, they should still prefer money to an empty plane taking up their traffic controllers/tarmac/etc.
> The central point owns as much of the data set as they choose to own.

Less inaccurately, ICANN has social consensus to be trusted with the root delegations. If they abuse that position, that consensus would very quickly disappear because they don’t own any of it.
> We know homeopathy works

We actually don't know that, and have pretty strong reason to suspect that it can’t compared to whatever the diluent used is, because homeopathy literally involves no treatment at all.

> Millions of people around the world have been healed by homeopathy

That's, at best, unproven.

(If you are confusing homeopathy with the broader category of holistic/traditional/alternative medicine, that may explain part of the error; some of that stuff, despite the absence of scientific basis, clearly works, and discovering how is an important aspect of modern medical science.)

Do the Bunny images go through Argo?

If you were OK with your content only updating periodically you might be able to do away with Firestore, Argo, and Vultr.

You definitely do a great job of mitigating db hits. Consider publishing all the data to a CDN using something like Gatsby.

In this scenario your CI/CD would build a static website from all the assets and publish it to a static server.

You mentioned that only your view counts are the only really dynamic part. You could just estimate and emulate those or design them a different way.

Martin Fowler has an article on this: https://martinfowler.com/bliki/EditingPublishingSeparation.h...
When two phones with iMessage enabled text each other, the texts are blue and the experience is better-- the texts are more responsive, have read receipts, high quality videos/images, games, and more.

However, when one of the users does not have iMessage (almost always the case when one person uses android), the text messages show up as green. Since these conversations cannot make use of the above features that you have with iMessage, and along with this, the texts have a green color to them. This has come to be known as "green bubble" problem.

The problem is exacerbated in group texts. The iMessage features are available only when every single person in the group chat has iMessage. If someone doesn't, the entire group falls back to MMS which is a degraded experience from both the iPhone users' side, as well as the Android users' side.

Teens can be fickle, and I've heard you get excluded from group chats-- hurting your social life when so much of it revolves around group chats. I think you see the point by now.

I just held out again and purchased an Android Phone, but I could see myself breaking down and getting an iPhone for my next one. Most recent problem being that you can't send videos via MMS without them becoming heavily compressed, and have to switch to a third party app like Signal or WhatsApp.
You're assuming that a company has to interview all candidates the same way regardless of what job they're actually interviewing for. A frequent complaint, voiced all over this thread, is that interviewing like that makes no sense. If the job uses 100-level algos all the time, then sure, let's talk algos (also, kinda weird, but I'm sure there's something out there like this). But if you're bringing me in as an SRE and we spend a bunch of time on LC questions and much less time on my experience with AWS, Terraform, and CI/CD work, the interview is bad for me (because I don't work with low-level algos and probably won't know that stuff, _unless_ I've been grinding LC) and bad for you (because you don't have much signal about whether I can do the SRE stuff).

Yes. The whole system for how our airlines and airports are managed is an utter farce. I understand that Airlines need predictability, however that should not come at the massive cost of the flying public by creating de facto monopolies/cartel environments.
I guess I'm showing my youth here but I never imagined that sorting on a computed key was once known by such an exalted title as Schwartzian Transform. This is basic, built-in functionality in Python.

> i wouldn't use a RSS feed of Hacker News because I probably only look at 1 in 10 articles on it.

The popular HN RSS feed generator linked elsewhere in this page allows for a ton of customization! You can filter by points and raise the floor until you get a reasonable number of articles per week.

> Possibly the only bugbear I have around the RSS ecosystem these days is that some authors don't include the full content in the RSS feed

My RSS reader (miniflux) has a handy feature for getting around these. It even works for naïve paywalls (like the New Yorker’s, for example). It basically cURL’s the original address of the content and allows you to specify the content with a CSS selector. It’s some trouble to configure initially, but very handy!

How Ivy League Elites Turned Against Democracy
This seems like pretty hand-wavy thinking. Decision making can be thought of as a directed graph, where you have various situations as nodes and actions as edges.

That does indeed mirror how games work, however for all of our systems we do not perfectly know the actual "true" state of the graph. Even the oldest, simplest, most well understood systems are not understood perfectly. The fog of war is ever present.

To present systems management without the "intricacies of computers" you either have to not care where the actions lead you, or have a system that is perfectly understood. And if the latter is the case, then there is literally 0 value in a human pressing the buttons.

Yes, CHI is quite broad as a field. It started out primarily as computer scientists and psychologists, grew to include design, and has since then expanded to include elements of anthropology, art, material sciences, ICT4D (tech for developing countries), and more.

One thing I've never quite figured out, though, is that other fields in CS tend to splinter into new conferences when the main one gets too big (or perhaps its just systems conferences). In contrast, CHI seems to just get bigger and broader every year.
I, for one, was shocked to see how well iPhones (and Apple products in general) held their value on the used market.

People are still willing to pay decent money for a 3-5 year old phone or laptop...sometimes as much, or even more, than their much more recent and powerful competitors from other brands.
Firestore isn't a full relational DB, so why would a replacement need to be?
My daughter just got an iPhone for Christmas--it was my wife's old iPhone 6s. Over 6 years old and other than shorter battery life, it works fine. Every Android device (tablet or phone) I've had has ended up in a junk drawer much sooner than the Apple devices I've purchased.
Yea this is pretty much the norm for Julia deployments. You have to be really wise about how you architect the use of Julia for production. In a lot of common use cases, in my opinion, it's business infeasible. Unfortunately it can even be "passion project" infeasible. For serious compute projects or research - its nothing short of amazing.

I think it stands a chance but this side of things hasn't been nourished. I hope developers who have these kinds of experiences and share them are heard.
And are those really open?
Moreover, why should there have to be a real one? A QR sticker that's placed reasonably neatly could blend in practically anywhere, now that people expect to see them.
Not surprising though. Apple's hardware and software quality are way better than anything you get with Android, the only place some Android handsets are ahead is the camera. And the Apple stuff isn't any more expensive (iPhone SE 2020 is available for $399).
Could be. And its weird especially when supporting all 4 bytes would be easy (so it seems). For fun I did dig around though, and found that even in the earliest documentation they clearly state only supporting 3 bytes, though not why. It says this in 2005 which only justifies not supporting 5/6 bytes, but not four. So confusing:

"RFC 3629 describes encoding sequences that take from one to four bytes. Currently, MySQL UTF8 support does not include four-byte sequences. (An older standard for UTF8 encoding is given by RFC 2279, which describes UTF8 sequences that take from one to six bytes. RFC 3629 renders RFC 2279 obsolete; for this reason, sequences with five and six bytes are no longer used.)" ...Wha?

I personally think anything critical that was worth storing in a new character format still should have been properly tested and documentation consulted, that is on the end-user. Anything not critical where you wouldn't expect to care...still should have tested, but yeah that sucks.
There are several reasons that might be funny. Assuming that funny question = stupid question is going to result in you being offended quite frequently. It's google, the interviewer probably thought it was funny because what you just asked would be logical, but because of insert crazy bureaucratic reason here they can't.

Most interviewers are nice people. Assuming good intent when they laugh is going to be the right assumption most of the time.

> Coca-Cola includes a coca leaf extract as an ingredient prepared by a Stepan Company plant in Maywood, New Jersey. The facility, which had been known as the Maywood Chemical Works, was purchased by Stepan in 1959. The plant is the only commercial entity in the United States authorized by the Drug Enforcement Administration to import coca leaves, which come primarily from Peru via the National Coca Company. Approximately 100 metric tons of dried coca leaf are imported each year. The cocaine-free extract is sold to The Coca-Cola Company for use in soft drinks, while the cocaine is sold to Mallinckrodt, a pharmaceutical firm, for medicinal purposes.
Those are things you could say about any centralized system.

iMessage and parental controls are the glue holding them to iPhones. Sure there are other very good reasons but I bet 90% of the iPhone pull is iMessage.
The thing is, guys who actually knew what's a runaway stabilizer condition feels like managed to cope. It's the ones who didn't didn't.

Somehow I think this is actually related to the hours flown. Not entirely, but should we take these chances?

How does this disprove market theory. The tests are free due to subsidizing. High demand leads to shortages.
Anyone want to guess as to why?

Here is my guesses:

* iMessage. Teenagers are pretty social and try hard to fit in. Teens may feel more "cool" and "in" to use the same type of device, and iMessage also cements that.

* Affordable. iPhone SE is $400 which is still expensive, many parents may see that as affordable for their teen

* Parental controls. Apple has a staggering number of parental controls, does Android match this in terms of features and ease of use?

That is the kind of thing that one says about a centralized system when they want to defend its center.
Idk why people are downvoting you, There’s tons of social pressure for young kids to fit in and the green bubble is such a loud marker that kids will beg their parents just to get away from it
Yeah, same reason there's no imessage on the web like there is for android.

I don't like it, but that doesn't mean there's a great workaround.
Because it isn't one app. You have to have them all.
Statistically speaking, teenagers don't want to be contrarian in that way.

Outliers exist, but in the average teen doesn't want to be perceived as too poor to own an iPhone.
The Hittites are another example of almost the same thing. The Bible was the only source of information about them. Some people said the Bible was making things up. Archeology has now confirmed that the Hittites existed.

For Assyria, there was only textual evidence in the Bible, and some Greek manuscripts. The Greeks even say they are not sure Assyria existed as there were no ruins to point at. All the other textual evidence was based on the Bible and Greek sources.

https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/rdas/hd_rdas.htm

The excavations of the 19th century are often called a 'rediscovery'.

The Assyrian and Biblical accounts are not contradictory. The Assyrian account merely leaves off the humiliation of not actually capturing and killing Hezekiah as Sennacherib intended. How that failure occured is not mentioned in the Assyrian account, which is fairly normal for defeats and failings.

After Assyria withdrew, Hezekiah had a tunnel built to supply water to Jerusalem. You can see that tunnel today, and the Hebrew inscription.
