US has all but banned Chinese drones for most govt-related flight ops.

Japan has banned Chinese drones.

In Europe, internal risk-assessment memos are circulating advising security agencies to avoid using Chinese drones.

You’re missing a massive part of the context here.

This particular article may be missing factual evidence to support some of the voiced concerns, but it’s hardly a singular shout in an ocean of silence. It strongly resonates with a rather diverse chorus of voices coming from multiple independent sources.

So yeah, it’s a thing.
It works for us. Our daughter's room is probably the most decorated part of our our home. My wife loves gardening, but has found new hobbies. She doesn't share my enthusiasm for minimalism, but she has embraced it and is also happier these days. Caring for a big house was like having a 2nd job. There were nice parts, but I don't miss it. We have a nice home, we just try not to fill it with stuff. I know it isn't for everyone but I like the clean minimal aesthetic, it's calming. Renting is a luxury in some ways. Now that we don't spend as much time on the nest, we have time for other things, and much less stress.
Who said anything about generating infrared light? And I don't know what your last sentence is in reference to. Yes, it needs to cool down. Why is that relevant to this discussion other than what's already mentioned about that being a downside to operating cameras?

From the article so people can just debate NASA's own reporting:

> Although infrared or thermal-imaging cameras on the cold side could obviate the need for illumination, they would still present the same harnessing disadvantages. Furthermore, cameras on the cold side would have to work at very cold cryogenic temperatures.
I think its kind of amazing how little is known about Orion. Not even the manufacturer is publicly known.

Impressive job keeping secrets.
To be fair that takeover was only possible because the owner of freenode sold the server to a malicious party which is only possible because you own the server, so that kinda reinforces parent's point.
Yes. This library has stemming, TF-IDF included already. The everything provided by the JS version is included in this library. And improvements are made where applicable.
To be reductionist, the only items in my house that spark joy are alcohol and maybe one or two pills.

But to be fair, consider a form of mindfulness called negative visualization. In other words how would you feel if you lose everything (say in a fire). If you had no comb, and your hair were a tangled mess would you feel the opposite of joy?

Likewise there’s almost certainly stuff you wouldn’t replace if your house burned down. Maybe you bought a blender or weights for a long forgotten New Years resolution that’s now gathering dust. That’s what Kondo wants you to discard.
> Marie Kondo tells you where every towel goes and then all your stress goes away.

That’s very much not what she does. Her entire method is based on teaching people to let go of things they know they don’t need but are holding on to for reasons that basically amount to either self-delusion or inability to let go of the past. All the stuff about how to fold your clothes is just organizing tips that are tangential to the central thrust of her advice. She spends the vast majority of her time coaching people into various ways of disentangling their stuff from the emotional or sentimental feelings they have attached to that stuff. That’s what alleviates the stress, not being bogged down by the collected cruft of older versions of yourself.

Almost all criticisms I’ve read of her method seem to be levied by people who never bothered to read her book and are working off some generic assumptions about what “minimalism” means.

Those products are still new markets and new markets where Apple is doing significantly better than anyone before or after Apple entered that market - to the point where that market would have been a fraction of its current size, had Apple not entered.

You were saying that Tim Cook only knew how to make more money from the current business. That’s not true.

Now you’re complaining that they don’t make as big technological revolutions as their absolutely biggest tech revolution ever. That is moving the goal post tremendously.
The Netherlands is also historically big into industrial agriculture (windmills, greenhouses, reclaimed land, helping invent capitalism, etc) so it all sort of adds up.

If you're wondering what some of those words mean, Wordle (and this variant) have a big list of fake words it allows for guesses.

I think 4 is probably optimal, but my solver is still running. :) There's probably way more fours as well, my solver only prints new bests found, and this list is from progressively allowing a wider and wider search, so each result is from a separate run. I wonder how many end in 'humph'.
Yeah what you said is pretty much it. And not only will everyone catch COVID at some point, but they will catch it many times over the course of their lives as the virus mutates; you'll get sick but it won't kill you (unless you are really unlucky). Sounds similar... oh right, just like the flu.

Imagine if you stepped on a nail. Guess what, it's gonna be painful no matter what you do. It's better to pull the nail out in 1 go and endure a large amount of pain in a short amount of time, than to pull the nail out 1cm a day and endure a moderate amount of pain over a long period of time. Right now, almost every human society has decided to do the latter and implement lockdown after lockdown; going into total mania over new variants and semi-mandating vaccines and pumping 3 shots (more to come!) of rushed, insufficiently tested vaccines within a single year. I say semi-mandating because if you are faced with a choice of losing your livelihood or getting a jab, do you really have a choice?

Here in Toronto, the government just started another 3-week lockdown. I believe this is the 3rd lockdown we've had.

In some weird way, I'm strangely at peace with everything that's happened. I think I have adopted somewhat of a fatalistic attitude, not towards COVID but rather towards human nature and our ape-like herd-like nature.

These companies aim to dominate markets not by "best product wins" but by "only product wins". So much of the tech markets are winner take most (or all) and if the tech giants can't beat the startups, they try to acquire them (and then often bury them). If they can't acquire them, they try to bury by other means.

This is all fueled by investor money and public market money. Throw tons of money at something and you'll dominate the market, whether or not the product is any good. This is the heart of so many problems in the tech industry and part of why I think we need alternatives to current funding models for tech.

You've articulated a very real problem that exists across all public policy and communication.

As other people have stated, its not as simple as lie/don't lie.

Many people simply don't want to acknowledge certain realities:

There is an overwhelming majority of people who lack the capacity/ability/attention span to look clearly and rationally at a complex topic and evaluate the available evidence in anything remotely close to a nuanced, well educated fashion.

You then have to add to this that these same people are being mass manipulated by bad actors with nefarious agendas and large budgets and resources. And then there's the fact that the internet has allowed people to live with the illusion that their understanding parallels that of people with infinitely greater education and experience.

Any public communication has to take this in to account. Believing that the rubes will somehow find their way to a reliable conclusion if you simply tell them 'the truth', is a recipe for playing into the hands of the nefarious (who are more skilled at portraying their self-serving bullshit).
I know a lot of people hate it, but Signal piggybacking on your phone number and native contact list is a reasonable workaround to that “seperate contact list” issue. And mobile push notifications make that “a seperate program to check and monitor” a non problem, at least for me.
I think a 4 day work week could be a good approach to this. I sometimes work weekends when we're behind, I could see an employer introducing a 4-day work week as an incentive for good planning.
I still don't understand how I'm helping society by vaccinating. Almost all scientists out there are saying that the vaccines don't stop the spread. So I won't contribute anything, plus I'm not keen on getting myocarditis while I'm in a shaky health condition due to pre-diabetic condition.

So why should I do it? I will not help anybody (and no I won't hog an ICU bed).
"Veganism, a social signifier for whatever the local upper caste is"

You lost me here, as most vegans are not wealthy, and in the US have approximately the same income as non-vegans on average. (A simple google search will point to many studies which refute your statement)
Any philosophical system for living becomes a caricature when it goes fashinable. It then falls victim to "more is beter", virtue signaling and/or Goodhart's Law.

Not living a clutered life is of course beneficial. One can get the 80/20 benefits by doing an anual clearing of old unused stuff. But that's just normal and brings no sense of superiority, no chance to brag, to share on social media or to form religious like groups.

Common sense minimalism (or if you want to be a smartass "minimal minimalism") also does not sell books, seminars, consulting, etc. It's the same as Agile or healthy eating or whatever else system. It becomes ridiculous by being marketed.

That's the rub. Why would Apple allow text messages to be once again controlled by both telcos and governments, including interception?

> doesn't let other messengers implement it's proprietary iMessage protocols.

I can't find an open standards document anywhere on the Internet for RCS. Can you?

From what I'm reading, it's a mish-mash of random proprietary "standards" that were each an extension written by one or more telcos or corporations. The current "standard" probably isn't one in any meaningful way, and I would be money that it's full of security flaws due to the heterogeneous design.
Photo tagging in EXIF for date is pretty bad. Do some analysis on the problem, how to handle approximate dates, not before and not after and circa or year certain month uncertain, and write code to do the fixes without using exiftool which is perl and .. (sigh)

Same for keyword tagging. Too many competing models. Do a good job on the problem and the world will thank you. The librarians have a different take on this to the photo nuts.

You can find this problem all on the Web, in all its glory. Finding a dataset of peoples photos to learn tag soup in the wold might be challenging but again, a good dataset of variant EXIF tags would be useful.
I agree with this, have since the beginning and it's very unpopular view discussing this on places like HN.

I'll never forget a passing encounter I had in March 2020 as things were starting to shut down in my area. I was at Lowe's (big box hardware store) and hadn't bought or even worn my first mask yet but knew the CDC was recommending social distance when I literally bumped into an elderly woman in a narrow aisle of the store. I apologized and commented how I didn't hear her come up behind me. Then I apologized again and said I'd step away as I hadn't got a mask yet (she hadn't either but I was being polite as she was obviously elderly/high risk). We chatted for a moment about everything that was going on in the community regarding closures/lockdowns. That's when she said, "this is all non-sense, when I grew up Polio was going around and we still went to school, the world has to keep moving on and life is not meant to be risk free".

I have thought about that conversation a lot as time has passed and while unpopular, I believe we over-reacted even given what we knew at the time. It was always going to take a toll but we made it quite a bit more expensive in many ways. Instead of ripping the bandaid off, we'll be pulling it away for quite some time and our kids will be impacted for their entire lives to varying degrees. I have a now 3 year old and in talking with PreK/PK3/PK4 teachers they are already seeing a drastic social/emotional shift of incoming children from the norm. I've heard accounts that slightly older kids have PTSD symptoms from the fear they experienced.

There have been many times in my career where I went the extra mile, but didn't communicate it well enough and ended up not getting rewarded for it. I also noticed other people over-communicated what they did, even in cases where I didn't think what they did was really that hard. If they get rewarded for that, is it fair? My opinion today is it doesn't matter. If I want that bonus or that promotion, I'm going to "perform" for my boss to make sure I get my share.

For an educational, gripping account of an avalanche from the perspective of the victims and the rescuers, check out Rescue at Cherry Bowl (1).

"In March of 2013, four friends from Whitehorse, Yukon, made the 1200 km road trip south to Shames Mountain, BC. With fresh snow and clearing skies, they embarked on a week-long adventure exploring the area’s backcountry. Four days in, on a bluebird day in Cherry Bowl, their trip came to an abrupt end."

Both men and women are free of the sociological, religious and economic strictures that, in the past, forced them into marriages.
Recall the old Victorian appellation of - fallen woman that was applied to a woman who had borne a child out of 'wedlock' - yes, 'lock' was the descriptor.
Society and religion imprisoned women in this manner.
Now, women/men can form short and long term liaisons, with or without children and enjoy life/work/love etc, as they please.
Modern social support patterns, coupled with child support laws as well as the willing/loving support of the parents mean the child is supported and educated - for the most part - there are flaws in this idyllic scenario in the many areas/countries not compliant with this optimal state - although steady gains over the past 50-75 years are steadily improving this position.
A large part is due to modern birth control, coupled with the steady decline in religion based controls over society that allow women greater freedom.

> This “law” was never really reasonable or sensible.

I took two compilers courses from Dr Proebsting, and while he never discussed it in my classes, based on his sense of humor I'd guess he chose "18 years" mostly as a parallel/pun on Moore's law and "18 months".

In other words, I doubt he ever fit a curve and tried to make predictions. I think the whole point was to cast shade on whether compiler optimizations were all that important past a certain point.

> This is why I’m personally a lot more excited about working on small manageable compiler code bases [...]

It sounds like you came to the same conclusion :-)
I think it is a response to the accusations of plagiarism and quote fabrication. When he was trying to reclaim respectability he released a companion website to Chasing the Scream that had extensive transcriptions and audio excerpts of source interviews for all direct quotes in the book [0]. It went way beyond what the vast majority of authors do, but it would be nice to see more of that sort of thing in the publishing industry.

In a country with healthcare tied to employment & ever rising cost of the most basic of living, it gets hard to blame people who do whatever they have to do to get by / live
Because it’s really hard to be married. To be successful at it. I’ve been married 5 years. And boy I wish I knew what it was going to be like. It’s extremely rewarding but also very hard in that it requires one to be selfless and patient and to be willing to understand that your partner is a product of an upbringing that is likely very different than your own and they likely approach things very differently and have wide ranging takes on money or responsibilities in the home etc etc etc. Also people change. When we got married I’d say politically I was center right I think I’m much more left than I’ve ever been. She remains center right.

Over the years I have learned how to change and adapt and compromise and I learned I wasn’t mature enough to get married but I love her so we did.

My point is that it’s hard and I think folks are understanding that more and more now and deciding they likely don’t need the ceremony or the cost to show commitment to someone.

Just my two cents.

I am honestly amazed at the level of nonsense and fatalism from your post. As if common physics and virology doesn't apply to this virus.

Of course masking works. Why wouldn't it? It had a tremendous impact of making a virus that has a R0 of more than 3 spread rather slowly.

We don't have to argue about lockdowns anymore because we won't be getting another one. There are more nuanced tools available now. But of course lockdowns have worked to delay spread. It is just basic physics that you can't get infected if you don't spend time with somebody infected.

Last, your rejection of any measures does not make any sense. We are in the first winter after a tremendously successful vaccination campaign (over 10x risk reduction for those vaccinated). It is appropriate to keep some measures with high impact on spread and low impact on freedom (such as masks!) to slow the current wave to help the healthcare system.
I’ve been shipping software, my entire adult life (over 30 years).

Kind of hard to fake.

That’s one reason that I was so blindsided by what I encountered, when I was looking for work, a few years ago.

I had an enormous library of finished, high-quality, polished, complete work, already in the public venue; but people were only interested in small, impractical, competitive exercises.

It didn’t take me long to realize that it was more important to consider people who “played the game,” than it was, those that could provably deliver product.

So I stopped looking, and went to work with some folks that couldn’t afford to pay me, but were interested in actually delivering software.
Once again scientists miss the entire point. It is about marketing and making people interested.

It makes it easier when you go back five years later and ask for more money if people can see the multi-million dollar toy they paid for.
how is this different from https://indiehackers.com?
Running a server today requires someone to watch it, and fix things when it breaks, or gets hacked. They always get hacked. It's simply not possible to put a device on the internet, and have years or decades of uptime, as it is off the internet. There is no operating system available that is suitable for the task.
This immediately reminded me of the recent update to AWS S3 to provide strong read-after-write consistency, which Azure Storage Accounts do provide, but S3 historically did not: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/amazon-s3-update-strong-rea...

It's these subtle (timing!) differences that might be documented somewhere, but aren't an explicit part of the API surface in any meaningful way. Programmers who naively assumed that blob store APIs are "all the same" and are "just" HTTP GET and PUT calls were in for a lot of fun surprises...

Programming theory has a long way to go before it can encode these kinds of subtleties in a way that it won't trip people up.

Luxottica basically arm wrestles firms into being bought or else... else normally being they stop distributing them in the chains they control, which gives them a hard discount in company takeovers.

Today some Chinese brands match Luxottica in quality, and if you do some homework you'll find almost every independent brand is much cheaper and high quality (Bollé is my go to for safety/sports glasses, for example).
You're right, I meant this as one specific example.
Correct. Price is the independent variable, demand and supply are both dependent on price. But for some reason economists decided to put price on the Y axis. Confusing.

However. The demand and supply curves (lines) are dependent on price. But the intersection of those lines determines the optimal price. In that sense, price is dependent on supply and demand.

So 'price' the variable should be on the X axis since it's the independent variable which controls supply & demand. But 'the optimal price' is the dependent variable controlled by supply & demand, and so that should be on the Y axis.
