Ask HN: Do you think wealthy live in a different society and the law is limited?
It's getting frustrating for me, I read every day an attack on non-vaccinated, then some world champion just travels around quietly, I have a family member who last year got the whole activity closed because of a positive staff member, while football teams gets surgically quarantined and the rest can still go to away games with public transport without issues, I see companies who can break the law undisturbed towards the powerless because it happens so many times that people isn't going to be able to afford all the lawyers that are required for all the unjustice events...

We are limited and as a majority I am not sure how to make the less wealthy respected enough without universal access to lawyers and subsidized costs, because if price is a barrier entry then there is nothing else than the less wealthy being unrepresented, what do you think?
This is not true, not in AWS nor in CDO.

The hiring manager might connect you with an engineer on their team to see if you’re a fit, but it’s not an actual interview loop. You’re certainly not coding.

Source: Been at Amazon for a many, many years across retail and AWS teams. This was never true, and if you saw this really happen, it’s a 1% minority.
Steve Jobs found out about his cancer in 2003. During a CT scan for kidney stones. He was seeing a doctor. He died in 2011. He was one of the few people to have his genome fully sequenced and got gene targeted therapy from Switzerland in 2009.

He only refused surgery and not modern medicine. He even had an under the radar liver transplant(probably jumped the queue and hence the article mentions ‘under the radar’ https://www.forbes.com/sites/alicegwalton/2011/10/24/steve-j... )I doubt if he opted for homeopathy(and homeopathy doesn’t claim to cure cancer or congenital issues that require surgery. It only treats symptoms.)

[..] Jobs’ cancer had been discovered by chance during a CT scan in 2003 to look for kidney stones, during which doctors saw a “shadow” on his pancreas. Isaacson told CBS’ 60 Minutes last night that while the news was not good, the upside was that the form of pancreatic cancer from which Jobs suffered (a neuroendocrine islet tumor) was one of the 5% or so that are slow growing and most likely to be cured.[..]

The article also said that he waited 9 months for the surgery instead of immediately as it was thought to be a slow growing cancer and he was reluctant to be ‘cut open’. How many people with pancreatic cancer like Steve Jobs had survived as long as he did..now that’s a data point.
The problem the paper is addressing is fibrin micro clots, which occurs in long Covid. This also occurs in acute Covid. The treatment is similar - anti coagulation. We (doctors) knew this from the beginning (1). Chill out bubba.

You can definitely pay to get your PCR test expedited all over the place. It's around $200 to $300. Ask on the NYC subreddit.
I never got why people think using tar is hard. Specify your archive File with f. want to eXtract it? add a x. want to Create it? add a c. Want it to be Verbose while doing that? add a v. if it's gZiped add a z. Granted, j for bzip2, t for listing is less obvious, but with that it's about everything you need for everyday usage and that more than suffices to disarm that bomb.
PCR.

There are no "take-home" tests with "results in minutes" that use PCR technology.

I was in London and Belfast last week between December 24th and January 1st, travelling from the U.S. (SFO airport)

I had to take a PCR test within 48 hours of boarding, and I had to take a PCR test upon landing in London, and was asked not to leave my hotel room until the results came back -- nearly two days later. They checked my vaccination and PCR test result before I boarded the plane, and passport control at the airport asked to see confirmation that I had a PCR test scheduled.

Before returning from the U.K. to the U.S. I was allowed to take a "rapid" test, but it had to be supervised either in-person or with a "tele-medicine" service that watches you over a video camera.

If I had tested positive, I'd be required to quarantine for 10 days in the U.K.

There was no requirement to test after landing, but I did--three times. NHS gave out rapid tests in "7-packs" and I was able to get 4 packs.
Ending alcohol prohibition effectively ended bootlegging I believe.

And for the most part, synthetic drugs are a reaction to prohibition, either to stay ahead of substances that have been scheduled as illegal or to provide drugs that can be made in-region to avoid the risk of smuggling. There is little organic demand for such drugs, and it would be much safer if people had access to pure forms of their drug of choice, i.e. cocaine and heroin
The difference between `await` and `?` is that the former completely transforms the entire function body containing it, while `?` just conditionally returns from it. (There's less of a difference to the caller of the function, where both `async` and `impl Future` give you a `Future` object.)

A normal function returning `impl Future` has normal synchronous control flow, cannot ever use `await`, and then eventually returns a value whose type implements the Future trait. You can't just return an int, because ints don't implement `Future`- you have to return something that is `poll`-able.

On the other hand, an `async fn` merely looks like it has normal synchronous control flow, with some `await`s sprinkled in. But when you call it, none of that code runs- instead it immediately constructs and returns a value (of anonymous type, similar to a closure) whose type implements `Future`. The code written in the body has its control flow ripped apart at `await` points, much like a CPS transform, and it goes in the `poll` method of that value's `Future` impl.

It's technically possible that the language could have been designed the way you describe- if an `await` is present, that transformation happens, otherwise it doesn't. But because of the nature of the `await` operator, this is much messier than `?`. For example, when the transformation happens, you need to be able to return an `int`, and when it doesn't you must return an `impl Future`, unlike `?` where you always have to return a `Result` or `Option` regardless of your use of `?`. And you wouldn't be able to tell at a glance whether the function body runs immediately when it's called, or whether it waits for the Future to be `poll`ed. Plus, the language also has `async { .. }` blocks that do the same transformation in an expression context, so it's kind of nice to be consistent with that.

Buddy, Austin has garbage public transit and infrastructure. It is not walkable. No one wants to walk in the heat 20 mins to HEB and be accosted by homeless people. It's the latest entry into the shitshow that is garbage American cities.
It is, but perhaps I'm not understanding how it is currently implemented. I thought there was a system framework it relied upon, and if so, that framework would need to be implemented in Darling. Perhaps the framework is embedded in every .app package? There's a similar issue with the Swift runtime. I believe Apple's goal is to make it a system framework, at which point it would also need to be implemented in Darling.

A Note of Reassurance from Your School Regarding Our Updated Omicron Policies
The biggest mis-conception about code reviews that it is for catching mistakes and improve quality. Well, you know what improves quality? QUALITY ASSURANCE. If you never heard about it, THAT is the issue, and your group/section/company should really educate itself if this is a new concept.

Also code review as a communication tool? Maybe yes, but again there are better tools for the job.
Seems pretty reasonable to me.
I doubt it...my wife just traveled in December and she had to show results from an actual testing company or hospital. I don't think they would accept a photo from a home test? That seems ridiculously easy to fake - both the result, and it being your test.
In Narcos, something similar happens. Some money that was buried was found by a farmer, some was lost, some rotted... Escobar preceded to violently murder the people that brought him the excuse.
This is amazing.

Could you elaborate on the "No vendor lock-in" part?
When we select cloud services like Heroku or AWS, aren't we technically locked-in? For example, AWS Amplify will create DNS entries and its own SSL certificate for the domain. If we wanted to switch, we'll have to set these up again in the new provider.

How does Molecule not make you locked-in to the providers you select?
For those of us in our 40s and not american - what's "green bubble"?
For all we know GPs airplane was turning around from dropping off a full passenger load, or was on its way to pick up a full load at a hub airport so yes an empty flight(loaded with less fuel than a full flight) is necessary sometimes to keep the network going. The fact that empty flights are necessary is a sad side effect of the system, but I wouldnt feel guilty as an individual about being on a particular empty flight.

I love them. I can pick a book, and have a low cost version that has been gentley loved by another reader in my hands in 4-6 days. For about 20% of the list price. It's a deal.
It seems like a direct contradiction in my eyes. On a broad level, yes, male renters statistically commit more crimes of all kinds. However, if applying the same logic of preventing visual bias hosts should not be able to apply gender stereotypes to individual renters.

I'd also imagine that statistically an older Asian woman would be a safer renter than a young white man with face tattoos. This data, particularly on race, would never be released or likely even analyzed internally, but I'd be surprised if there were not some visual indicators that correlate to host safety.

Why would this group bias be prevented but bias on gender allowed? I suspect the obvious answer is true, they will only prevent bias when it's in fashion.

> If you're going to centralize in Cloudflare you might as well just skip the hosting the website bit entirely and make a business account on Facebook as your host.

These responses are getting bizarre. Facebook pages have nothing to do with web hosting or Cloudflare.

Also, hosting on a single server in a single datacenter is, literally, the definition of centralized. Cloudflare distributes the content to a huge number of edge nodes which are spread around the world. How did we end up in this situation where people are calling the distributed solution centralized and suggesting a centralized solution as the alternative?
Two of my favourite pens are here: the Twisbi ECO and the Zebra Sarasa.

If you're a regular, gel pen user, I'd really encourage you to check out Zebra Sarasa pens. Some folks think they're a bit scratchy, but they're way less scratchy than the Muji pens I've tried and they write consistently and smoothly.

I started using fountain pens in an effort to reduce plastic waste (and because they're cool), and of the many, many pens I've tried, the Twisbi ECO is heads and shoulders over the rest. It also is quite affordable.

Word to the wise though, skip the TWISBI GO, it looks similar to the ECO and is cheaper, but I've found it to be a disproportionately worse experience.
I really love thrift books! So cheap compared to buying new and usually they look nearly unused! When I ordered a book and it arrived damaged (Missing the first 20 pages!) they gave a refund right away.
If you haven't been for a covid test lately, especially in a populated area, things have changed significantly. Lines are 4-12 hours long and often run out of tests before they can get to everyone. There are no appointments available. Urgent Care centers are overrun and can't handle nearly as many tests as people are requesting.
It's literally a 3rd degree felony in the state of Texas.

(1)
harbors or conceals the other;
(2)
provides or aids in providing the other with any means of avoiding arrest or effecting escape; or

The problem is installing the app, that's the part I don't want. All you said applies to the case in which the app is installed.

Edit: just to elaborate a bit further in case it's not clear: should people who don't have a smartphone, or their smartphone is broken, or maybe they forgot the charger home, still be allowed to park their vehicle in a public area? Isn't there a higher standard in terms of accessibility requirements, when you are providing a public service?

They remind me of my school years, I had a bunch of them over the years, and they are great little pens.

I wonder if I would find them too narrow these days. I usually write with a cross Century II, and have a Century I as well, which I do find a little narrow.
I don’t want to judge here, but, as someone who was well versed in fabrication before I used fusion, I found the model of sketch/constrain/extrude to match well with what I do when I physically make things. It is well suited to the mindset that thinks about the manufacturing method while designing.

Parametric modeling is a godsend for woodworking.
I don't know what you are going towards. I'll put aside (for the moment) any argument about school improving productivity for working parents.

You keep mentioning that there are ways to take care of kids that don't include "kids in schools with teachers" - you want teachers removed from the equation because they shouldn't be forced to be exposed to kids.

No matter how I think about the alternatives, I keep coming back to a building shaped like a school, staffed with people that look like teachers.

Example 1:

I get a retired person to watch my kids. Well, this person is still exposed to my kids (just like a teacher), and exposed to my house. Also, where am I going to find a retired person who is willing to be in my house, but not willing to go to the local school and do the exact same work?

Example 2: I get an underemployed friend to watch my kids. I don't know any underemployed people - they all have kids and jobs like me. Would I find someone on the internet? I'm certainly not going to let a stranger take care of my kids... not unless that person had similar qualifications as a teacher

Example 3: maybe I partner up with other families. We take turns watching our kids. 5 families, we watch our kids 1 day a week, we work 4 days a week. It's awesome. And I just invited homeschooling. If we are really good, we'll expand. And I just invented school.

You end with this

> A society with more cohesion that balances responsibility of child rearing across multiple people would have done a much better job

I'm pretty sure child rearing has been balanced across multiple people in our society. Many (not all) families have 2 parents. Their kids go to school with people. They may be involved in sports, coached by people. They may even go to places of worship, with more people.
I don't think that FizzBuzz/similar gotcha-type questions like that are useful, especially since most of them are all over interview prep sites, so I don't use them. But I've definitely interviewed people with impressive-looking resumes who straightforwardly didn't seem to be able to code; they couldn't respond to simple questions ("You mentioned you used Language Y in this project; what do you like and dislike about that language?") or were clearly bullshitting their responses. I've felt insulted at times when I get FizzBuzz in an interview, but I kinda get it.

All that said, this is a systematic issue that gets blamed on individual interviewers when the blame should fall on the company. I'm a decade into my career, worked at companies of all sizes, and I've never had or heard of anyone getting trained in interviewing. Outside of informal efforts with coworkers, I've never had a job provide me with a rubric for what I should be interviewing for (shit, I usually find out I'm interviewing someone day-of or day-before). If companies gave a damn about interviewing, I think the process wouldn't be so slapdash, and fewer interviewers would fall back on crap like FizzBuzz.

I thought it was a little odd for someone to write an article about how the restaurant industry is "so fucked", then proceed with a dramatic expansion of their business during the pandemic, and then write another article about how terrible things are in the industry. Not to say the article is wrong, but it certainly undercuts the argument. Knowing that she had virtually unlimited access to additional capital makes the apparent contradiction more understandable.

When I was a teenager I worked at a phone survey company. I quickly realized that many of my colleagues were making up answers to hit their targets.

That’s a pretty weak claim: ICANN is an international organization with substantial oversight. More importantly, they’re a soft power: if they tried to hijack .kz without a very good reason, they would very quickly not be running a globally-trusted root as ISPs around the world switched away.

First part of your question, the loading ports in S. America are watched very closely according to at least one documentary I watched.

Higher up someone calculated that they have 2TB of data, considering their $11/mo Backblaze bill. I calculate $11/$0.004/GB and get 2750 GB.

If you have 2.75TB of files to serve and have a bunch of simultaneous requests for different files:

- everything doesn't fit into the RAM page cache, unless you have 3TB of RAM in your server

- for files that aren't cached, you have to read from the drive

- when you have a bunch of different requests for different files, you're going to have a lot of disk seeks. Seeks are expensive on rotating media.

Serving a large collection of static files at scale can be quite challenging. At my previous e-commerce company, back in the early 2000's, we did our own image serving with RAID1 multiply-mirrored drives (before SSDs!) so we could multiply the seek capacity by the number of drives.
