Sure it is, what it isn't is quantity. Quality and quantity isn't the same thing.
I wonder why they only show a picture of the non-contested negative test and not the positive one with the disputed URL so we can validate the evidence ourselves.
Yes. That's how it works. 99% of all inventions are "obvious" once you understand how they work - but before that no one can imagine it.

If "buy" buttons can be patented, pretty much anything can be.
> Athiesm seems like the objective rational truth.

> But why do billions of people believe in an invisible man in the sky?

There's no equivalency or even logical basis of comparison between these two statements. You could've said, "Oranges exist... But why do we have apples?" or "Some areas of the ocean have boats. But why do other areas not have boats?" and it would make about as much sense.

> What is the objective truth that we can learn from that?

That atheists exist but not everyone is an atheist? What would we by trying to learn from this sort of search for understanding?

"Why both sides believe what they do" is an enormously open-ended, completely ambiguous realm of thought. To drill down the logic behind this sort of question; "because the universe happened."

I'm pretty sure we understand why anti-vax people exist... The roads that lead there aren't that numerous. We also understand why they think we're wrong and they're right and vice versa. There's no "lack of understanding".

The real question is, "how do we break them free from irrational thought?" Is it even possible (en masse) when so many powerful entities depend on these people to stay irrational?

Could the likes of Fox News, OAN, and Newsmax even exist if everyone suddenly switched over to Vulkan-like logical thinking?

That’s all an invention really is. At least according to the patent office.

Here’s another example. Wouldn’t it be neat if the tree control in your file browser could have an icon that represents more than 1 file. That idea may or may not have much value. But you better not implement that idea because IBM has a patent on it.

Patents in software rarely meet the bar that most people have of inventions.
Jared Kushner has a Bachelor's from Harvard, therefore Harvard must be a joke.
It’s a personal preference thing. I never fault anyone for keeping video off and I never ask why.

But video on is definitely better for building and maintaining relationships.
Agreed. At least where I live (a major American city) there’s already no expectation or enforcement once you enter a bar, despite us having an indoor mask mandate that people are relatively good about following everywhere else. I’d be willing to guess that the city knows and has chosen not to enforce it in certain settings.
I've heard that the thing to do is sue them in small claims court. Apparently Cali regulations prevent them from sending a lawyer and so Google has to send a real manager.
Well it’s true without vaccinations we won’t have a chance to beat it. Doesn’t mean we will. It’s just one big part of a public health epidemic, and without we fail.
Nor are either JWT or DNSSEC--on their own.

But we aren't having a discussion amongst the general population. We're having a discussion amongst people who plan, design, and build these systems and who, as professionals and practitioners, society looks to for input on policy choices.

The fact that SSO--and let's be honest, it'd be nice if it weren't always SAML, just like it'd be nice if Google/et.al. didn't force us all to use JWT--is so broadly taxed should be viewed the same way we used to view storing passwords in plain text or not supporting 2FA.
I suspect you’re making more implicit assumptions than you realize.

Also your snarky, facile dismissal of religion makes the idea of constructive engagement with you seem unlikely.

I think you missed the point.
The startup I'm building, we are committing to provide SSO/SAML/OIDC, audit logs, advanced RBAC etc for free for everyone, we want people to pay for actual differentiating features. Am I missing something here?

At some point in the future you will be faced with a dilemma. You will have a customer who can't get these free features to work with their existing systems. On one hand you won't want to give away the time of a senior engineer necessary to fix what is their problem. On the other hand, you won't want a potential large customer to walk away and tell people they don't use your product because "it doesn't work."

Charging customers for features is really charging them to support getting those features to work for them. It means you can afford to support customers and make them happy rather than having to say "The feature is there. Good luck!"
Lately I've been thinking that the "perfect" programming language would be a specification language that precisely defines the relationship between outputs and inputs. Given that, the next step is to 'compile' this specification to a set of tests and (possibly naive) implementations. Profiling then tells the programmer which components of the implementation need improvement and the programmer touches them up and the test verifies they are still correct.
So essentially something that's considered perfectly normal in American prisons. Bit of a double standards, don't you think?
10 years of operation, but hundreds of years of data to analyze. We are still analyzing data captured from terrestrial telescopes that haven't operated in decades.
Show HN: Processing 24 hours of video in ten minutes
Hey HN! I’m one of the creators of Sieve (https://sievedata.com/), and we’re happy to be sharing this with all of you!

Sieve is an API that helps you store, process, and automatically search your video data–instantly and efficiently. Just think 10 cameras recording footage at 30 FPS, 24/7. That would be 27 million frames generated in a single day. The videos might be searchable by timestamp, but finding moments of interest is like searching for a needle in a haystack.

We built this visual demo (https://sievedata.com/app/query?api_key=AIzaSyAfKwf0tuuNOHbY...) a little while back which we’d love to get feedback on. It’s ~24 hours of security footage that our API processed in <10 mins and has simple querying and export functionality enabled. The demo is a security use-case but our platform supports a wider variety of use-cases and metadata. We’re working with a few early customers to explore which ones to dive deeper into (happy to hear ideas on this front from the HN community as well!).

agreed, all incredible stuff, I replied to another comment with a fuller reply, but despite these incredible recent achievements I think the years since apollo have been overshadowed by failures in rocket development and innovation (except spacex) and nasa under funding. I linked a story about SLS delays and funding levels and Nasa budget in my other reply
I bet the Fukushima backup power system would have fit this explanation perfectly:

> in addition to the grid connection, there are four twelve megawatt diesel generator stations spaced around each corner of the plant -- each with two generators, any one of which is able to provide operating power to keep the reactor's safety systems working.

Unfortunately for Fukushima, all generators were flooded by a single Tsunami. What are the odds of an unknown event that will affect all generators? Think of EMP, contaminated fuel, a large cloud of C)2 suffocating the engines... All seem highly unlikely, but how do you plan for the unknown unknowns?

The most likely (and I think underestimated) risk for Nuclear plants is a systemic change due to a large (climate?) crisis and/or war. Think of the collapse of the Soviet Union, that definitely increased risk and reduced maintenance budget for a few Nuclear plants. Any significant sea level rise, drought or flood could very well trigger such events (even if the reactor is not affected directly, the society around it will be). That is why I think nuclear is a risky option to reach net-zero; every plant you build is a bet on the future stability of society for at least 75 years (time until the plant will be safely decommissioned by future generations). I would feel much safer in a world covered in solar panels, wind turbines and transmission lines (and highly variable spot pricing) than in one with nuclear plants that require constant care by experts and that even in the best case incur a huge cost on society to safely decommission.

> In 2016 the European Commission assessed that European Union's nuclear decommissioning liabilities were seriously underfunded by about 118 billion euros, with only 150 billion euros of earmarked assets to cover 268 billion euros of expected decommissioning costs covering both dismantling of nuclear plants and storage of radioactive parts and waste. France had the largest shortfall with only 23 billion euros of earmarked assets to cover 74 billion euros of expected costs [1]

One of the main reasons COVID has polarized people comes from supposedly smart people telling other people what to do, calling them stupid, science-deniers, etc. Science can't have all the answers, nor can science answer ethical questions. Suppose you had as much unbiased scientific information as you can find. How would that affect your own behavior? How would you protect the "more vulnerable" in a more ethical way? What can you actually do other than get vaccinated, wear a mask, avoid close contact and crowds?

All evidence tells us that COVID is highly contagious. If we want to avoid catching it, and to avoid spreading it to others, we need to take steps to prevent infection (vaccination) and staying out of range of everyone. We can't tell at a glance if someone in a store or restaurant is more vulnerable or not (well, maybe based on their apparent age), or if they're "smart", or if they've been vaccinated. I hear debates about how effective masks are, but I choose to wear a mask because it's a minor inconvenience and probably protects me and other people more than not wearing a mask. Knowing the exact percentage of effectiveness (science: inconclusive) doesn't really matter, I assume it's non-zero.

COVID is not likely going away, so the only way to eliminate your own risk and the risk of infecting others is to completely isolate, forever. If that's not an option then you take whatever active precautions you can to avoid getting infected and to avoid possibly spreading the infection. I'm not sure what you could do beyond that or what "set of things" you might feel morally obligated to do. Lecturing and hectoring people to get vaccinations and wear masks hasn't really worked.

When the COVID outbreak started I took smart person Nassim Taleb's advice. When you see an avalanche coming you don't wait for the science to measure the speed, mass, and direction of the snow -- you run. Assume the virus is highly contagious, anyone can spread it, everyone is vulnerable, and act accordingly.
why is sign in to chrome a thing? i have been using firefox for the past 12-15 years exclusively now and i am starting to see coworkers all "signed into their browser". why?

before anyone says syncing, no one uses that. i guarantee that. people either now use "office work" and mobile phone. they do not mix together and no one wants to stay in touch with office notifications from browser.
i do understand this is a thing for some people but why expose EVERYONE to a feature whose only purpose is to collect data on specific people and their browsing habits, bookmarks, passwords, favorites,
Yes, there is less coal and less nuclear: 45% to 25% and 10% to 0%, respectively. The missing coal is probably replaced by the renewables. How does it matter?

The 25% value is too high, and it could be much lower if not decreasing the nuclear. That's all I want to tell you. If you don't like the wording, you can change it as you wish. It's wrong to let coal go to 25% and not lower while removing nuclear. Nuclear should not have been removed before coal.

Same thing is said here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29890760.
I do not think that is entirely true - all my PCR tests have contained the name of the lab where the test was performed as well as the performing (or, in some cases), supervising physician.

That does not mean it is easy to verify test results, but it should be possible.
It's not the job of open source developers to secure your data. Rather, open source developers provide tools that let you do it yourself. Like GPG. If you want a turnkey solution then consider rewarding the people who are already working hard for you, by giving them a rational self-interest to help you comply with your security policies.
"And with that, we pass on to the weather." Brilliant.
I opened up a 2017 or 18 Dell Inspiron last week to replace the hard disk with an SSD for someone. Of the 4 screws holding down the hard drive caddy, 1 stripped the head. The other three used almost no force to remove. This last one had to be drilled out just to remove the drive.

If the computer had used Torx screws in place, I'd never have had the issue since the force required wouldn't have stripped the head while a PH head had cammed the driver requiring the excess use of a drill.

My real concern was the difficulty we had getting the JWT ready. If JWT's successor will also take 20 years to produce, then we better start working on it tomorrow. A 10-20 year lifespan on the telescope would be perfectly fine if we could launch a new one every 5-10 years.

I'm worried that NASA has spent all its money and political will (and then some) getting JWT over the finish line.

Areva has a lot of trouble hiring new engineers. Nuclear power is not as popular in France as it once was. Also, you don't only need engineers: you need lots of industrial workers (such as welders), which, because of deindustrialization, are not that common in France anymore.

It's not only the loss of knowledge, it's also the higher security standards. The last reactor being built, Flamanville 3, was supposed to be ready by 2012, is still being built and not estimated ready before the end of 2022.

I don't get your point.

The repo, gh/npm accounts and such are just metadata and metadata of metadata, which is hosted and distributed based on the terms of service of gh/npm. The thing that matters most is what the npm project points to, since it is relied on by other packages and apps.

The only thing this guy "owns", according to the law, is the copyright for the part of the codebase he wrote. Not that it matters much since it is MIT licensed.

The multi-py project has a cross platform gunicorn container that works with Intel and Arm out of the box.

There's also a uvicorn one there for people who want the async features.

And a container that combines both (although it's often better to just use uvicorn and add more containers to your API to scale up).

Some funny example is "Eclipse": Do you mean Eclipse the IDE? Or the vampire movies? Maybe you mean the astronomical event? or the Nissan Eclipse car? Or you wrote wrong ellipse?

I'm fine with Google not reading my mind at the first try, but at least offer me alternatives and exact text matching. For example since a couple of years looking for phones or symbols is completelly broken.

And I really admire how Google is able to guess the encoding of the websites, detect what is text, do language detection and dropping all the porn. Writting a crawler that actually works is HARD.

> The letter now reads that the company prohibits "any human trafficked or involuntary labour such as forced, debt bonded, prison, indentured, or slave labour throughout your extended supply chains."

> “Intel’s cowardice is yet another predictable consequence of economic reliance on China,” Rubio said in a statement on Monday. “Instead of humiliating apologies and self-censorship, companies should move their supply chains to countries that do not use slave labour or commit genocide.”

So is it known whether any companies in Intel's supply chain uses US prison labor? Certainly Intel operates in a state which uses prison labor to fight its escalating wildfire issues, and is in that sense a beneficiary of prison labor.

I don't mean to create a the appearance of a false equivalence; these are different situations. But if the effect of the rewrite is to call out the broader classes of transgression rather than single out a specific instance, premised on the idea that human rights should in fact be universal and some standards must be consistently upheld everywhere ... then surely we must look at the ongoing practices in our own country.

Prime example of sunk-cost rationalization. When has such a gargantuan expenditure of time and resources ever produced the promised second-order benefits that outweigh the lack of first-order benefits?

Neutron fission was discovered in 1938, ten years later we'd flattened two cities with it, and ten years after that we had working, profitable power stations. Theory to useful first-order application to useful second-order application in two decades.

Meanwhile, ITER started planning in the late 80s, began construction in 2007, and won't be fully operational until 2035, assuming no delays (hah). Even then, it won't do anything directly useful. That'll be figured out by grad students who haven't even been born yet, possibly.

This just isn't how healthy scientific and technological research looks like. If nobody expects anything of actual tangible value for 20 years, and there are billions of dollars of funding being thrown around, obviously you're going to get people riding the gravy train instead of getting real jobs. ITER is welfare for physicists.
There's media of Uyghurs working in XJ cotton fields as part of local cotton industry released by PRC media that got repurposed as coerced labour with zero evidence. It's like how videos of XJ transfer workers from their own douyin accounts got repurposed as "leaked" evidence of slave labour. Yes Zenz claims are basically myths, trying to portray extremely well known and studied rural labour transfer programs as coerced labour and connect any piece of mistreatment - of which there inevitably will be for a program this large - to fabricate myth of XJ coerced labour.

US sanctioned XPCC in charge of XJ cotton, ergo John Deere can no longer sell advanced cotton picking machinery to XJ cotton industry despite 4000% increase in orders year prior. 70% of XJ cotton was automated already, predominately in North. XPCC wanted to buy harvesters to automate 30% of XJ south cotton that relied more on manual labour until "slave labour" programs paid enough that manual labour no longer profitable. Because slave labour involves compensation so high that importing expensive US machines becomes more economic. So why would US not want John Deere to sell XPCC machines that would eliminate alleged coerced labour... oh wait.
