Every policy has tradeoffs. We could save around 20,000 lives per year (in the US) with a simple policy change: just cap all speed limits at 45 mph.

I think it's a fair critique that some lockdown measures go too far (particularly those with low efficacy, or "safety theater"), but it's more helpful to take about specifics, rather than "lockdowns good" or "lockdowns bad".

At some point (and maybe it's now?), we'll need to shift our thinking from "pandemic" to "endemic". COVID is going to be with us from now on, and will start to look more like flu season (viruses tend to evolve to be less deadly over time). And I don't say that to trivialize it; COVID has given me much greater awareness of the impact of the seasonal flu on the elderly and the immuno-compromised.
No issues, and here is another one, while Java might have a C++ like syntax to make it more appealing to mainstream, its main influence was Objective-C, not C++.

That's not social network because there's no interaction between entities and most people wouldn't set up a blog.
I kind of agree with this. I need to have that point-of-contact, so that if something blows up, they don't want to lose their commission, so they email the right person in the company to get it fixed.

The thing is, I actually had this when I first started with them. They were so small at the time, that I had one of the founders on the phone once and he told me all about how he studied cloud computing at MIT. But this was over 10 years ago. After that, they had phone support for a long time.

Last few years they changed over to this way where there is no path to resolving a problem like this, which should be easy to solve, in an appropriate amount of time.
GDPR can only be enforced for citizens in the EU/EEA and (for now) the UK. I think the OP is based in the US as is Twilio.
To some extent, yes. My employer is a big US-based company, but in my country (Romania) I bought my own phone, external monitors, mouse etc. If you are high ranking or well connected you get some of these via internal IT supply system, but the quality is very basic, ex. they expect developers to work on $125 monitors - what the fine art of magic can you do with that? Managers have iPhones paid by the company, company cars, etc. but most working people have to find a way to work on their own.

There are companies that provide some budget for work equipment, but unless it is mandatory by law the budget and quality of equipment varies a lot, from good to terrible or none.

I just recently moved back to RSS after being fed up with all the dark patterns and insane ads. My main goal is to wrestle back control of what I choose to read instead of being led around so much. It's been great so far but the setup was a bit onerous.
I honestly feel there was no competition in the early 00s besides PHP, and that choice came with tons of other issues, especially at that time.

I'd also like to extend your point 4 (or perhaps add a point 5), that some of these people aren't even aware they're pirating content or that they're breaking a law somewhere.

No, but most chatbots I've seen are no better than a well-structured FAQ page. We've had those since the mid 90s.
Mmmh, no, the Jackpot (in the Peripheral) was mostly climate-related, not due to excessive social complexity. The series of disasters is left vague because no one disaster by itself was very important. AI isn't very important to the story, either; the post-Jackpot society is run by kleptocrats.

I disagree, but then agian, the only Slack bots I've seen are useful: they provide updates on the status of Jira tickets. Better to see these on Slack than have to use Jira's garbage interface or fill my inbox with status emails.

I never said anything about proving or disproving. People are welcome to believe anything they'd like to on whatever basis they choose to... if you like Chinese medicine, go for it. Think drinking that awful cough medicine will make you feel better? Fine... Want to see a naturopath or chiropractor to perform vertebral subluxation to cure your back pain? Have at it... All of these practices sound very convincing, intuitive, and are almost common sense to billions of people, and I'm glad that professional doctors and scientists reject them regardless of how appealing they sound because none of them can be experimentally verified.

The fact that they are rejected does not mean that they don't work or have been proven to be ineffective, it means that they are not established scientific facts and as such it's absolutely dangerous to have physicians or other scientists promoting ideas as scientific fact or using said ideas as the basis for their professional practice.
I’ve been using feedly for like a decade now. I also use it to discover content.
The author didn't prompt GPT-3 properly. I gave it the prompt below:

> The following is a conversation between a human and an AI assistant. The AI assistant is helpful, friendly, and intelligent.
> Human: Good morning! I'm going to ask you a few questions.
> AI: Alright, I'll do my best to answer them.
> Human: Which is bigger, Mt. Everest or a shoebox?
> AI: Mt. Everest.
> Human: [question]
> AI:

And I got these answers to the questions from the article (reporting first responses with no editing):

Human: Is it safe to walk downstairs backwards if I close my eyes?
AI: No. It's dangerous because you can trip on the stairs.

Human: Who is the President of the United States?
AI: Barack Obama.

Human: Do you think I could predict changes in stock prices better if I used 10-year Treasury rates or the temperature in Curtin, Australia?
AI: I think Treasury rates would be a better predictor.

Human: Why is there a correlation between the number of times Trump tweets the word great and the high temperature in Pyongyang three days later?
AI: I don't know.

All of the responses are sensible. The question about the President is factually incorrect, but GPT-3 wasn't trained to give factually correct answers, and Barack Obama was indeed the president during the time period of a lot of its training data was generated.
First two infections were closer to 3-4 months IIRC, third was probably ~6 months.
Crazy, the amount of environmental damage flying these aircraft empty to maintain landing slots is criminal. Why not just pay to keep the landing slots and not fly.
Not dying would probably mean even more concentration of wealth and power. I agree with the OP. If we had some idyllic society I might be more tempted to disagree, but as it is, those with power are most likely to be able to afford the necessary treatments and I don't think they are doing a good "leader" job in this world. It would not be the humble people living ordinary lives who will profit the most from longevity treatments.

In the interest of the future of humanity, I hope we don't figure out extreme longevity anytime soon. A few more years or even decades, okay, any more and you have even more old people at the top of society with even more power.

USA is pretty dystopian. I'm an immigrant from the EU, and like most of us here I work in tech where the wages and benefits are very good (wages quite a bit better than even the richer EU countries and benefits on par I would say). But for the lower middle class and below it absolutely sucks in the US compared to most other countries with similar levels of development...
Distinguishing web3 from Web 3.0
web3 is awesome but it's not the same as Web 3.0, "The Semantic Web", which is what follows from Web 2.0. Web 3.0 will have complex data structures designed for bots, to have more structured depth to the information they have to work with, to be smarter with the algorithms that will provide you with more effective information, a world that will look a lot like the world portrayed in the film "Her".
I had one of those experiences as well, but in my case, "version control is for the weak". he had multiple copies of the code deployed for different customers, and could never reconcile. unfortunately, the tech scene here is very well connected and I learned way too much about his personal life.

in my case, I ended up just rewriting to be multi-tenant with a fully different stack, and let him disappear; it was really what ended up being the best for the company and my sanity.
The apps of tomorrow are not exclusive to Windows I would say, Instagram, Google, eBay, etc so I would say he was right also.
The response emails were also right in that the existing business was not immediately threatened, but it is definitely diminished.
Your fears about carjacking/rock throwers are probably unwarranted. Passing through the city is really a non-issue. I think that recovery will be a mixed bag. The restaurant/food/beer/wine scene will likely recover pretty quickly, but we'll see what happens to downtown commercial areas where businesses may decide they just don't need all the space they previously occupied - leaving unoccupied buildings that are less likely to be properly maintained. The homelessness problem will likely continue to be a thorny one for years to come.
Agreed. I was curious what their policies are, and they were very easy to find[0]:

> To this end, omments [sic] that contain one or more of the following themes will be put behind a warning: Gore,Extreme Violence,Sexual Themes,Misinformation,Extreme Obscenity

> Comments that contain one or more of the following are not allowed and will be removed:

> Spam/Scam,Nudity,Bot comment, Abuse/Harassment, Illegal Content

My takeaway:
- Bots are essentially banned
- Any comment Netvyne's team considers extremely violent, gory, or containing misinformation will be put behind a warning, but not removed
- Any comment Netvyne's team considers to be abuse or harassment will be removed
- Any comment containing nudity will be removed

Nudity is notoriously difficult to moderate[1], and I suspect drawing the line on misinformation will be similarly challenging. I like the idea overall, though it would be neat to see a federated approach where different standards can be enforced on different instances. I'm not yet convinced one-size-fits-all discussion rules work well at scale.

Thanks, this is the crux of my point really. There will never be ‘no Covid’ from here on out. We will never be able to eradicate it. The sooner we’ll all accept this the better. We will have to live with it for the rest of our lives.
Feedbin can capture items from Twitter feeds so that's covered for those who want this.
Chatbots are really hot in customer service and internal helpdesk applications, because there is that belief that they will offload interactions from hitting a real agent.

I'm skeptical, because the chatbots built to do that are often so bad that people just spam "agent" or "operator" or whatever they have discovered is the magic word to shortcut the bot, the same way that they do with voice phone trees.

You could probably build some decent chatbots if you had strong domain knowledge to draw on and skilled developers building them. But that's not usually the case; it's most often farmed out to a team attached to the Cognizant or TCS or Cap Gemini type outfit that is already handling that function, who are not terribly skilled, don't care, and are viewed as a cost center. So it is usually a poor result.
It compares in urgency and chaos but isn't as fun or rewarding.
I'm sure they're hiring anyone they can in India too. If they could completely cover their technical staffing needs there (both in terms of numbers but also the higher skill levels that are hardest to find) you'd be in trouble.

I have worked in niches in the past that are now almost completely handled in India. And I had to move on to doing something new, despite the fact that my employer still has tons of tech staff (in fact most of it) in the US too.
Paragraph 1 shall not apply if the decision:
is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller;
is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or
is based on the data subject’s explicit consent.

If you send abusive texts through Twilio, Twilio could lose it's contracts with carriers. I haven't read through the paperwork Twilio makes you sign, but I'm gonna guess the fact that this could happen is in there.
Also it sounds like the account wasn't banned, it's ability to send messages was suspended. Because it was being used to send spam text messages. I'm pretty thankful Twilio has automated systems for that

Yes, exactly this. I didn't expect the Tap Strap would be refined enough to serve this purpose (too much ambient motion) but I like to keep looking for something novel.

> I don't find that typing speed is my blocker, rather the speed of a coherent thought.

In my case (which probably shares at least a few similarities to yours), I (a) have some tasks where I really do need to type fast (usually either when I'm transcribing my voice notes to text, or when I've already formed an idea into a sentence in my head and just need to get it out) and (b) have highly irregular rates of thought, where sometimes I'll have things I want to write at 300 WPM, and other times I don't have any ideas for minutes on end.

In the former case, faster is always better. In the latter case, while you might not be directly blocked on typing speed, it does allow you to get the typing out of the way faster, so that you can then move on to more thinking, or another non-typing action.
Jay Bhattacharya: The Case Against Lockdowns – Lex Fridman Podcast [video]
I decided to submit this as I found it to be an extremely interesting podcast, which asks many important questions on the lockdowns instated in many (most?) countries over the past two years during the COVID-19 pandemic.

As I'm in Ontario, Canada, and we are currently in another one of these lockdowns, this topic is at the forefront of my mind, and all other residents of Ontario.

Anyways, I hope this sparks some interesting discussion on HN. Enjoy!

This is a commonly repeated myth. The Quartz graphics framework does not use PDF internally. Its rendering model is roughly based on PDF, but not much more so than any other vector graphics format, like SVG or Cairo.

A higher percentage of Americans are going to collage in 2020. They are also graduating with more debt, so is it more or less affordable? That’s a more complex question than it might appear as students are in many cases choosing a very expensive education when more economical options are available.

It’s similar to how new cars in 2020 are both substantially more expensive on average but also of vastly higher quality. In both cases the cheapest options represent a tiny slice of the overall market suggesting cost is generally less an imposition by outside forces than a choice.
I took the time to post a possible workaround (selecting a year that mimics 2022 for calendar and leap-year status), and was promptly shut down. Apparently the moderator figured there was nothing new to discuss about the issue. Must be fun at parties, going around and shutting down individual conversations. :D
Now imagine that chatbots are driving your car. Seems like a good SNL skit, but maybe only appealing to the HN crowd.

This is sober and mature advice. There is simply no easy answer to the question: how do I break a bad habit and keep the benefits? Vices have benefits.

The OP took the first step already: admitting that getting drunk is a bad habit.

Breaking a bad habit is like choosing to learn to walk all over again: lots of bumps on the head, and a not a few failures, but eventually you learn to walk again.

Hi HN. I've been learning WebGL and working on this project for about a year. I posted it previously when it worked in 2D and wanted to share it again because the 3D really makes the shade come to life. Most of the credit for the update due to migrating from Leaflet to Mapbox GL JS.

Capital is far too short-sighted to look beyond this year or this quarter. Many of the important groundbreaking ideas or projects take years, even decades to formulate. As I've said elsewhere, capital will just take the easiest road it is allowed to take, which currently is stifling innovation, buying competitors, maintaining monopolies, relying on economies of scale to shut out competitors when they can't be acquired, and using lobbyists to ensure regulations that affect the status quo never pass. In the past the big tech corporations maintained huge corporate labs and actually did groundbreaking research with 15+ year projects. Now everything is short term. We can't even compel capital to see the long term value of preventing climate change, when Exon was aware this was going to happen as far back as the 1970s in excruciating detail. No, capital will innovate only if there are sufficient regulations in place, incentives, and guardrails, that there is no other choice than for them other than to innovate (which they will do begrudgingly). Capital is by no means a vehicle for innovation. When was the last time you saw innovation from Google in the search space, their bread and butter?
Only if they already have local access. And the sshd is not listening on the port (if it’s on, you can’t just bind it)

And they still can’t show the host certificate, so your client would tell you the certificate changed.

Unless, of course, they have a local root exploit — but then port 22 is just as unsafe.

I fail to see how changing a port makes anything less safe.

I've never stopped using RSS, since it is so useful for many use cases. I've even recently built a tool, as an experiment, using it (https://github.com/dethos/worker-planet). Who remembers what a "planet" software is?

Fortunately we can still find many websites and services that provide RSS feeds (probably because the tool/framework they are built with, automatically provides that feature). Implementing it is not hard, but in the end I think the most important aspect of that list is `5.`, not a website in particular but creating awareness that this tech/tool exists and in what cases it can be useful.

Yes. It should be per month with peak request per minutes or better per seconds. Since we are always optimising for the rare peak usage. Instead once you sum out to monthly or even yearly a lot of things are meaningless.
Sometimes it's useful to be able to run a series of quick experiments, each based in some complex way on the outcome of the previous ones, to develop an empirical understanding of how something is working.
