Lord forbid I make a typo. But of course you knew exactly what I meant, and despite your attempt to disown that behavior, those people now OWN your precious Libertarian party just as much as they now OWN the Republican party. When your leaders are kissing Trump's ring, and you refuse to renounce and continue to follow those same leaders, you're kissing Trump's ring, too.

Do you support with the way your glorious Libertarian leader Rand Paul has attacked and endangered Anthony Fauci's family by lying about him, and reject the government's right to mandate vaccination, but support spreading lies about people and endangering their families for political purposes? What ever happened to personal responsibility?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/01/12/how-polit...

>How politically helpful have Rand Paul’s attacks on Anthony Fauci been?

>One of the more remarkable political disputes in recent history involves two doctors.

>One is Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), an ophthalmologist by training. The other is Anthony S. Fauci, the federal government’s top infectious-disease expert. The genesis of their fight is the coronavirus pandemic and, specifically, government recommendations (for which Fauci is a figurehead) that Paul opposes. Over the course of more than a half-dozen hearings centered on the pandemic, the fight has become much more personal, with Paul accusing Fauci of having contributed to the creation of the virus and Fauci forcefully pushing back.

>On Tuesday, there was a new escalation. Obviously expecting Paul to challenge him, Fauci came prepared with an argument he hadn’t made previously: Paul was attacking him and putting his personal safety at risk for Paul’s own political benefit.

>Fauci pointed out that a man had been arrested while on his way to Washington to attack a number of public officials, including himself.

>“I ask myself, why would senator want to do this,” he continued, obviously flustered. “So, go to Rand Paul website, and you see ‘Fire Dr. Fauci,’ with a little box that says ‘Contribute here’ — you can do $5, $10, $20, $100 — so you are making a catastrophic epidemic for your political gain.”

And of course there are possible reasons to oppose the ACA, but most of them don't hold any water because they are based on lies ("It's SOCIALISM!!!", "DEATH PANELS!!!"), and are just cover stories and dog whistles for naked racism. You know that as well as I do, so don't play coy and deny it.
At one of my former jobs, I was working on an automated testing product that could MITM requests (for testing analytics, etc.)

Android has this really annoying feature where apps don't trust self-signed CA certs (but Chrome & webviews do, strangely). You either need to need to add it to the app's network_security_config.xml, or root the device and add it as a system CA.

I looked into using apktool as part of a pipeline to inject our self-signed CA as a custom trust anchor when customers uploaded their APK for testing. But in the end, we found it was easier and simpler to just add a the cert as a system CA on a custom rooted AVD.

That whole project really made me appreciate that no matter how shit I feel web dev is some days, at least I'm not an android developer.
Schema.org doesn't have anything for the resume side of things. They have a model for a job listing, so job listings can appear in search results with special formatting, but nothing for resumes.

HR Open Standards is only available with membership. Doesn't appear very "open", but I'd assume that doesn't matter much to the industry.

JSON Resume seems like the best take so far. I've used it for my resume and at my current job, and, although we've had to extend the schema, it's a great base to start with. It's got all the structured fields one would need to build a resume. It would be trivial for a company to start accepting it, at least as a way to pre-fill all the "education and history" fields that we have to fill out anyway.
And the best way to get yourself into a state of mind for self observation according to Hindu sages?

I’ve read the post, its just how it is with their policies being evaluated by automations and not humans.

No, it's definitely a problem with the humans. It's just that the humans in question aren't customer support humans. It's Google's engineering humans that are to blame for shipping these poor quality experiences. They might be able to invert binary trees on whiteboards pretty well, but they suck at making an HTML page that explains why their system isn't working for you.
Well, the financing plans you use which make luxury "affordable" are more a symptom of our debt based economy and monetary policy. Most people expect it to crash at some point
I'm not here to defend Elon Musk, but since he is tentatively experimenting with accepting crypto as payment for some of his products, I assume crypto is in his wheelhouse
>First, let's start by using a valid comparable. Fiat currency has the feature of "medium of exchange", at present BTC does not (technically it does but its adoption for exchange is abysmal).

You're changing the topic. You asked whether BTC was being manipulated, and were asked to compare to the US dollar. Whether the dollar is as "medium of exchange" has no bearing on that, you're just unhelpfully switching to an unrelated issue that will make the dollar look better in orthogonal ways.
I went through a similar hell getting compliance to use a certain Google API after getting algorithmically flagged. Months of back and forth, with conflicting approvals and rejections. The same automated emails over and over sprinkled with emails from humans who kind of understood.

I will never again use any Google service for business purposes if I can avoid it.
This is odd and some modern newspeak to me. Trump was pro vaccine and went on about how they would get vaccines out at record time while he was being actively mocked by medical doctors that could never happen. And you had Biden and his admin saying they would be hesitant to take the vaccine.

It wasn't until the companies waited until right after the election (almost immediately, and the timing set off all kinds of alarm bells for a lot of people) to announce the vaccine was ready that the narrative flipped, and even then I dont seem to recall Trump personally being skeptical of the vaccines. Do you have a link to that?
Never interacted with facebook in any position, the rest is completely correct.

Google is absolutely trash at support, Apple is quite bad (in store support used to be rather good, services was always shit), Amazon is competent at least.

> But Bitcoin options on e.g. LedgerX.com are securities (edit: regulated ones, that is), and anything that affects Bitcoin’s price is going to affect those derivatives’ prices.

But the SEC doesn't regulate mortgages even though there are derivative securities that are regulated. SEC regulates the asset backed securities but not the assets underlying those securities.
Netflix as a service is better than every other service out there (IMO), but that doesn't matter if they don't have anything I want to watch.
In Australia, the merchant surcharges are allowed, but not more than the cost to the business, with the regulator (ACCC) paying a lot of attention to that.

Most small operators will have a 1-2% surcharge for credit cards and Amex sometimes either not accepted or higher.

Interesting.

I had the impression Zig proponents were praising it because it wasn't as low-level as Rust.
Hmm, finally some tricks that I could actually see myself use! Especially the healthy intellectual “snacks”. I mean I can get stuck on HN for a long time, but to be honest I could also do a course that just requires me to listen and eat a (physical) snack or something.

I'm still hoping that a some point this leads to a control over the states, but maybe I should give up that dream :)

"I also made so many mistakes that the next day I often spent hours finding and fixing them."
Reminds me of what Rocky says to Grace (in the Hail Mary Project): "Sleep first, humans turn stupid without sleep." It's better to recognize it and surrender to it.
I wouldn't say it's bad, but they could certainly learn something from YouTube. Even with very sketchy wifi, I rarely get buffering for YT.
Guess what happens when you click "unsubscribe"?
I don't think it's being manipulated in only one direction, does that count?
Apparently there's also the FSO Nabarima off the coast of Venezuela in a similar state.
Legally it's not complicated: is it a copy? Is it permitted by the copyright owner? No? Then it's an infringing copy.

Actually doing something about it is a problem, as shown throughout the post-Napster era, but every node that serves an infringing copy is potentially liable.
someone could have said the same about Enron in 2001 too

That sounds really interesting! Can you give a few more details how you use Graphviz? How does it give such a great advantage "to do in a couple of hours what typically would take client staff months."

Did I understand it correctly that you use it to discover patterns? Are these patterns discovered by just using the layout engines? Arent' other tools, e.g. networkx in Python or cytoscape in javascript easier to use interactively in a REPL? What is the typical workflow (maybe plot, find interesting pattern, change query/data in a loop)?

I'm really interested in how Graphviz can be so great. I am currently working with the other mentioned tools for visualization purposes.
The wobble in keyswitches is often intentional: it prevents keys from binding when pressed off-axis, and makes them a bit more forgiving when they get dust inside.

I didn’t like the older thinkpad keyboards; noticeably too stiff for my taste. But this IBM "portable" keyboard is a dream: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_5100
I do like lists like this that remove the illusion of choice.
Although, if you're interested in one offering on a service, you really only need to be actively subscribed for 1-2 months a year (to watch the newest season)?
I would venture to term it apologism
Yeah, you could also work somewhere not as developed. It's dysfunctional alright, and the pay can be shit. But if the company seriously considers your ideas, you'll be seen as some sort of prophet. Many ideas and systems that you take for granted simply don't exist in developing countries. And they really need them.
Sounds pretty bad if they didn't have a reason to not take the fixes. But ... where's the tantrum though?
The play store review program is there to serve the installing users, not the app authors, so even a high rate of obvious false positives is probably considered acceptable.
That is a somewhat simplified definition of temperature. While there's a parallel discussion on the same topic at [0], the term you're looking for is Planck temperature [1]. There is no "upper cap" on temperature per se, but we also don't have any models for describing what would happen beyond that point. See [2] for more discussion.

oh, and musk was fired for incompetence, and all his code thrown away after the x.com acquisition. he also isn't the founder of Tesla. basically everything "everyone knows" about Elon "monorail" Musk, is a lie.

News like this takes time, and requires education, and we expect to see additional rulings that solidify EU DPA's commitment to enforcement.
The grid isn't storing the excess power from rooftop solar, that electricity is being consumed by others on the grid at that moment in time. Your neighbors are paying you, via the electric company, for the power you are providing them. When the sun isn't shining, rooftop solar owners are paying the same price as everybody else to have that power generated.

Yes, as more and more power is generated by solar there will naturally be a shift from baseload to peaker plants, and peakers have higher costs per kwh than baseload, but you are generating a lot fewer kwh with those peaker plants, so overall cost is still low. Net-metering also has benefits like reducing the strain on the distribution system and decreased losses due to transmission, which actually makes the system a net gain for all parties.

Power companies complaining about net-metering is just nefarious accounting. If they stop net-metering, they still get all the benefits - they can still sell your excess electricity to your neighbors, their maintenance costs still go down - but they don't have to compensate rooftop solar owners with account credits anymore, so they can have their cake and eat it too. It's wealth transfer from middle class households to monopolistic corporations that directly discourages emission reduction.
>That's basically what happened on YouTube, with the weird auto-generated algorithm/SEO-optimised children's content.

That was so weird. Like if I'd read that in a sci-fi book back in the 90's I'd have derided it as a ridiculous idea.

And yet it actually happened.
What is the unsubsidized price per gallon? In the article, they state that ethanol is approximately the same price as gasoline, but, farmers receive subsidies, which would then lower the price at which they can produce corn profitably. Remove those subsidies, and what is the price per gallon?
I've used GraphViz a number of times and highly recommend it as a standard tool on your belt. Having a stand-alone executable that can export to SVG is great.

The most complex thing I've done with it [1]: a tool (MIT-license) that builds diagrams of the data and addressing pipeline for a DSP processor, and lets one 'scrub through' the assembler code frame by frame and see the values propagate through the blocks.

Also PlantUML [2] uses it for most diagrams.

Getting layout and positioning the way you want can be tricky but is usually achievable with patience and hidden objects.

I don’t have enough mathematical knowledge in this subject to back this statement up but I swear I noticed this for SPACs too. There’s these really odd spikes up and down that does not make any sense according to public information
Parsing text is not machine learning. It's the lack of machine learning thats causing the issues IMO. Because this system just flags everything with the word free in it.

They tried with Space Force. A workplace comedy starring Steve Carrel created by Carrell and Greg Daniels, who was the original show runner for the Office and also helped create Parks and Rec. It had a great cast. It just wasn’t very good sadly.
My thesis is that people have the right to use a medicine that is effective. Covaxin is such a medicine. As to the particulars as to why I or others would prefer one over the other, it doesn't matter. US medical policy should allow Americans to use a medicine created by an American Governmental Agency, the NIH, if we so choose. So far, the US government is mandating brand affiliation. This is ethically wrong.
Indeed. This was a good post a while back on just this issue:

That puzzled me too. I didn't remember the 52832 having WiFi, but I figured it was just faulty memory.

This!

I usually praise Apple's UI for often being intuitive and elegant. But it looks like, in this specific case, there is a problem only outsiders can see clearly: ctrl+clicking an icon to an UI gadget is neither discoverable nor intuitive!

When I improved the Anjuta-Glade integration, I made some effort to do something simpler:

- Open the .ui then the corresponding (by marker comments that are automatically created when the project is created) .c and .h files... boom! They are automatically associated.

- Add an ID to a widget you want to access programmatically, double-click it on the inspector... boom! Code for accessing it as a member of the "private" struct is automatically created.

- Add an onClicked signal to a button (which already has an ID), double click it... boom! Code for the callback is automatically created.

It is a shame Anjuta+Glade never became as popular as they could.
A fast interactive 3D alternative for visualizing large graphs is Graphia: https://github.com/graphia-app/graphia https://graphia.app However, it's currently suffering from the Qt switch from 5 to 6.

Regarding Graphviz itself, I wonder why is there no special layout logic for planar graphs? They can be recognized and embedded on the plane in linear time without intersecting edges, so it would be very nice if some of the Graphviz tools actually did that.

Japan had a smaller “crash” around 1986. Before then, lots of Famicom games were selling millions or high 6 figures regardless of quality, but afterwards (with VERY FEW exceptions) the million sellers were mainly first party and Dragon Quest games.
This seems like a general issue with how information travels without modern internet.

IMO, its just a matter of multiple groups of people around the world making similar dishes and with multiple sets of definitions of what that particular dish is. And at some point, it all collided and mashed together individual histories.

Maybe it was just their version of a meme.

The moment I see an ad on Netflix is the moment I unsubscribe. I’d rather spend time digging through sketchy torrents than watch ads in something I paid for.
You can't buy and sell the same item to yourself at an auction multiple times... Or am I missing the point you're trying to make?

Also, the value is in the art, not the receipt. With NFT, that's not the case... Unless it's an exchangeable NFT, like one you can exchange for a service (e.g. as a tick) or some goods, but that's not really how NFTs are being used.
This. macOS has been in an incremental phase for several years now. Windows 8 was a major overhaul from Microsoft which ended up as a big mistake since they didn't consider the impact of such an overhaul in terms of user experience. macOS on the other hand is quite mature and Apple knows that any major change would hurt users in the end.
I’m not aware of any pundits, that get on the TV to push agendas about stocks, getting in any trouble with the SEC. I’m not sure if it’s just because I have been looking closer recently, or had more time WFH, but the blatant manipulation on morning shows and financial segments is appalling.

Things like saying a given pharmaceutical is headed for zero because their drug failed to get FDA approval, when actually the company had just started their trial and not yet sought approval.

Or pushing a stock then pretending to lose connection when asked what the company does.

Or saying that a company pivoting to online retail will not have the necessary skills and will be facilitating terrorists (name dropping Al Kaida).
you get a compiler capable of compiling Zig code stupidly fast, and that's even without factoring in incremental compilation with in-place binary patching, with which we're aiming for sub-millisecond rebuilds of arbitrarily large projects

That sounds great! But at the same time people in other threads here are talking about 1-3 second compilation times for Advent of Code solutions (which I presume are smallish). Can you summarise where that really fast compiler comes from, to save me searching through that talk video? Is this something that everyday users will be able to use in typical workflows?

Bit of a Schrodinger's cat situation isn't it? If it became difficult to unsubscribe, you would only find out when you attempted to do it, not at any time before.
It can get a bit impossible. I recently wanted to watch Don't Look Up with Croatian audio (am Croatian, I know it's stupid but I thought it would be funny) and Chinese subtitles (because that's my GF's first language), but it is not possible. If I am on my Croatian profile I can use Croatian audio but not Chinese subtitles. If she is on her profile she can use Chinese subtitles but not Croatian audio.

I get that it's a UX thing because most people aren't interested in Swahili subtitles, but it would be nice to have an option to expand the list since I know they have the data.
Interestingly, as a Brit I've never in my life heard of "Brown Windsor soup". Admittedly I've never watched the Goon Show but it's hardly "deep...into the British psyche". Perhaps it's a generational thing (I'm in my 30s)?
Nope, it's a dick shaking title that can give kids issues in life.

Someone I know was called gifted at some point, he didn't end up in any accelerated programs but he did end up in higher education... which he only finished after many years, meanwhile he was eating, drinking and smoking his student loans + job income away, he ended up broke and in debt, and to date - 10, 15 years later - is still unemployed.
At least for me, Netflix consistently has the fewest problems (failing to load, apps crashing, buffering on a 900 mbps connection, etc) of any streaming service I use. So the engineering is working in that regard.
The engineers at Google Play really have got to feel embarrassed at how bad this situation has been over the years. How could they have a conversation with an Android developer that's had to deal with the lack of support?
> Half the tentpole movies of the 80s, 90s and early 2000s were my niche, so it's not as though I'm a difficult audience.

I know what you mean - but is that Hollywood, or is it us becoming grown-ups?

I mean, it's possible all movies are aimed at the tastes of teenagers, and the reason Terminator 2 and Robocop and Die Hard seemed like great movies is because I saw them when I was a teenager.

The innumerable superhero movies we have nowerdays may seem like a snoozefest in comparison - but maybe that's just because I'm no longer a teenager.
