The language of "do not disclose the information reported by, or on behalf of, any particular respondent" really does look to me like it requires Differential Privacy. Otherwise the different aggregations will reveal information for some participants.

It's unfortunate that this means the Census isn't accurately presenting information needed for fair representation, but I don't think this is something that can be fixed by attempting to shame the Census for putting out "inaccurate information"?
That doesn't account for any overlaps in tracking data for groups of users.

Instead of a single per-user unique value, I could use several values that track different groups of users. The set of values together would uniquely identify a user, but for any 2 PDFs there would be at least one shared group value that would exist in both.

Using your method, leaking a single PDF would identify a group containing the 2 users of the PDFs you compared.
If the groups are randomized for each new article, every PDF you leak would further identify you as the common member of the leaking groups.

> They know beforehand what the researchers are interested in, and introduce noise that effects all the measures _except_ the ones the researchers said they were interested in looking at beforehand.

Isn't there a danger in the census statisticians doing the same thing? That they'll introduce noise that affects looking at the data in ways that they didn't anticipate or allow for. Or even that hinders drawing conclusions that go against current dogma.
> Like almost one-way street

Sure, but that proves nothing.
>The government response around here can be summed up as corrupt incompetents fucking up the economy while playing the blame game. I could not think of a group objectively less qualified to respond.

Assuming you live in a country with democratic (small 'd') institutions, you elected those folks. If they're corrupt and/or incompetent, that's on you and your fellow countrymen, no?
The best part about this is that it appears to take AAA batteries.
Sorry, i know I'm chiming in a few days later...but i thought about this myself. I started down the email route (and my email does not use free email service, but my own custom domain name to have maximum control). Then, i wondered about my family/children having access to these emails...and then started thinking maybe i can script things to download the messages (via some automated imap, etc.)...and then convert to good ol' standard text files. And then, i thought, hey why not just draft my notes as barebones text files - just like some basic text based journal - in some directory, and make it easily accessible...Now i'm using this approach, but the more i think of it, the more i think pen and paper are best (as others have noted)...Of course alternatively, i can draft text files, and every so often, just print them out and store them in a safe, etc. But there's also the neat concept of drafting notes in pen and paper, so my kids can see my own handwriting...all of this is all about memories and nostalgia...for them. i hope that helps a little!

Several US states struggling with vaccination rates paid people $100 to get vaccinated, for example: Louisiana and West Virginia

Yet, their vaccination rates still largely follow their political predispositions.

I initially thought these plans were a great idea, but I'm not sure that they've been as effective as I hoped.
This doesn’t do what you think it does. It’s tantamount to timing the market which generally is a losing strategy. Not sure if you’re being sarcastic

Tax loss harvesting really only works in the long run if you know which stocks won’t recover.

I have been trying to do the same thing! I was looking for projects on github that I could adapt to a new language. Sadly, most of them require a server. It seemed to me that this game could pretty easily just run on the client alone.

I will dig into yours and see how it can be adapted to different languages too :)
... access to a 3d printer

Printer filament itself costs about $10USD per pound. And then there is the inevitable one or two misprints.

Not to mention the time needed to print the item.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but nearly every bank I've ever used offers this feature. I currently have auto-transfers and auto-investments set up in Fidelity. If you receive a paycheck, you can easily set up Fidelity so that it automatically transfers $xxxx dollars per month to whatever account you like. You can also set up each account to automatically purchase $xxxx dollars worth of whatever equity you want.
Logitech has had a competing standard for years (I have decade-old wireless G series headphones which work flawlessly).

Amazing little app. I'm also very thankful to Zim for the fact that I still have the easily-searchable text files from my years of Zim use over a decade ago. It made it really easy to recover things that I wrote back then, because they were never really tucked away inside of a database somewhere.

I don't know about "every other Bluetooth," but I certainly experience different problems with other Bluetooth devices. :) My regular experiences:

- The AirPods Pro and AirPods Max generally work well. I've experienced most of the annoyances the OP lists occasionally, but not regularly, although the "autoselect the device want you want" outsmarts itself semi-regularly. (Not quite enough to make me disable it, but it's close.) I have never attempted to control the volume of the AirPods Pro using Siri because it sounds like a bag of hurt.

- My Bose SoundLink II will immediately say it's connected to the last device that it paired with when I turn it on, but sound won't come out of it. Depending on what seems to be random chance, either it'll start playing in ~15 seconds, or it will repeat its "Connected to [Device]" voice cue and then immediately be available for play, or once in a while it will put itself back in "I'm not connected!" mode and I will have to go into Bluetooth settings to manually connect.

- My Vanatoo desktop speakers have Bluetooth, and once they're connected to the phone they don't want to let go. I'll have successfully sent sound to the SoundLink, or the AirPods, or just the phone's own speaker, and then suddenly the sound will mysteriously vanish because the Vanatoos have woken up and grabbed the signal. (This sometimes happens before the Vanatoos have powered up their own internal amplifiers.)

- The Bluetooth pairing in my mother's car consistently has the weirdest behavior: I connect, it starts playing a podcast or music, and the audio just cuts out every four seconds or so at a regular cadence. It seems like it might be playing just a little too fast and there's a buffering issue. If I disconnect the Bluetooth and reconnect it, then everything's fine. But the first connection after the car starts will always be broken.

I mean, I know that's all anecdotal. But at least for me, the AirPods are the least broken Bluetooth audio devices I use. I get that "it works less frustratingly for many people most of the time" is not nearly as catchy as "it just works," but until Bluetooth gets properly sorted out in 2083 or whenever, I guess I'll live with it.
I completely agree. I actually just wrote a blog post called The Best Accessibility Features You've Never Heard Of, which details some of these features that Apple, Google, and Amazon hide within accessibility settings. [1]

I don’t think you fully understand what I’m proposing.

You create a set of conventions that “Gemini compatible” websites conform to. This will allow your site to work with small Gemini-only browsers. Those conventions mostly amount to sending markdown for URLs when the user agent sends “accept: application/x-Gemini-markdown” (or whatever the mime type would be). Web servers send the markdown to Gemini user agents while they send normal html to browsers that don’t send the Accept header.

To signify that the site is a “Gemini site” at the URL level you can create a convention that the url must end in “.gemini” e.g. https://foo.com/blog.gemini

> (Almost nobody would vary the response based on the Accept header. Besides, if they did, you might as well just set an X-No-Ads-Please header and send HTML in both versions)

I don’t see how sending a different file based on an accept header is any more technically unrealistic than creating an entirely new technology stack.
I wouldn't even go that far. It's using what marketshare you have in an anticompetitive way, particularly leveraging across domains anticompetitively.

90% marketshare that you don't utilize anticompetitively? Sounds great. 50% marketshare that you utilize anticompetitively particularly across other domains? That's an antitrust issue.

I suspect this is due to trademark laws. I've often seen policies that say "you can write 'yourthing for Trademarked Thing' but not 'Trademarked Thing yourthing'", e.g. when it comes to inofficial clients for a platform.

I think they simply applied the same principle here.

Because he is their agent. Remember Russia has been the undisputed world champion of dezinformatsiya for centuries - they did a good job of making him appear as the "disgruntled principled whistleblower" they wanted. But most of the stuff he stole had little to do with the NSA activities they publicized, and much to do with key intelligence damage to the USA, including likely loss of lives. That's not protest, it's treason; do not expect him ever to leave RUS soil. I had vaguely thought of him as a good guy too at first, until I looked into it a little deeper.
Disagree. The problem described is lethargy. Probably have to fix the sleep and diet.
Would be nice to see an equivalent “minimum viable trustable computer” that used only parts from “trusted” supply chains (pick your own definition of “trusted”, but it might for example exclude generic parts marketplaces).
I understand, but I will respectfully disagree. These events occurred during the Cultural Revolution and the article prefaces it with such. It's inextricable. It is true he was an innovator, no doubt, but for the politics at the time, many other minds would have been able to contribute to the progress of the country but were not "as lucky".

I guess I misinterpreted when you said "And you might find out you don't really even need a cache. Rails + Postgres read replicas are pretty dang fast."

You actually meant, you might not need a CDN cache... if you have some other kind of cache (which btw ideally isn't redis if you're using our model anyway)... because Rails actually isn't pretty dang fast at all?

OK then! :)
I've tried to do work on various pocket-sized computers over the years (HP LX100 palmtop, Motorola Q, HTC G1, Samsung Sidekick 4G) and various netbooks and such.

The most productive device I've had is an Acer Chromebook. For me it is the typing speed, and having a nearly full-sized keyboard makes a huge difference. Adding an SSH client (though you can instead install the Linux subsystem) allows me to access my remote servers where I do development.

While thin and light, the Chromebook doesn't fit in a pocket. But it is not as if I'm randomly hanging out in coffee shops these days trying to do work.
Awesome, please let me know what you think when you try it out!
I don't understand what sort of communication you're talking about. If you mean internal communication at the time (back in 2018), there wasn't any. If you mean internal communication yesterday - there was a bit (e.g. someone pointed me to the thread), but what value would there be in releasing it?
When I was a freshman in college I ran into an elder geek who was dating one of the dorm RAs. They were super cool, had neat hobbies, seemed much smarter than me and I was desperate to impress them. The only thing I mentioned that made them seem to re-evaluate me was when I mentioned spending time on hotline. It was a fascinating place around the year 2000!

Your links do not mention the omicron variant. The CDC estimates that an unboostered vaccine (2 doses) is only 38% effective against omicron. Boosting brings the effectiveness up to 82%.[1]

So to be more precise - vaccines work against Omicron, but not as well as the original strains and only if you keep up with boosting every few months. Vaccines are less effective against omicron in general, and the effectiveness wains very quickly.

I'm no longer sure what point you're trying to make. She didn't say "masks don't work" either.

Masks absolutely work to prevent covid infection. Higher quality masks are much better than cloth ones, but any mask is better than no mask.
I also get the impression that the public perception of the brand matters a lot. The public image of Facebook has been repeatedly tarnished in the last 5-7 years. The general public sentiment seems to be best summer up by "fuck Facebook".

Apple on the other hand is generally well-liked. Even though, like you said, they engage in a lot of anti-competitive practices. By all accounts, Apple is a key player in making computing platforms more locked down and tightly controlled, fighting against the right to repair, using weird proprietary screws everywhere. Things that should make everyone on Hacker News frown... But no, Apple products are expensive status symbols, the Prada of computing, and Steve Jobs was the messiah of the modern computer age, even though he routinely threw fits and treated everyone like shit. Apple can do no wrong.
Ask HN: What do you recommend instead of Clean Architecture by Uncle Bob?
Recently, this book, as well as Clean Code, has received plenty of negative feedback and skepticism with regard to its wisdom and applicability.

I am not yet experienced enough to assess such judgements, but I would really like to truly master this "clean architecture" if it ever exists.

Can you please comment on:

* What you think is wrong with Clean Architecture and how bad it really is

* What you can recommend instead

FWIW, my programming language of choice is Go so a lot of things typical of Java (for example) are not directly applicable here. Even worse, some of them might do more harm than good whereas Go aims for simplicity. Nonetheless, with the elegant interfaces in Go, it feels like it fits the SOLID philosophy even better, but someone has yet to extensively cover that.
Two of my previous companies were working on Linux desktops for developers. Root wasn't allowed. I think the patches were pushed out using Redhat Satellite but wasn't involved with that side of things.

DNS configuration was setup during installation and wasn't editable by the user so wasn't an issue.

The main problem was MS suite of tools like Word, Outlook etc. We were using OpenOffice/LibreOffice but the experience wasn't too great. I suggested using Crossover (https://www.codeweavers.com/crossover/) but there was a lot of pushback on that. I think that was because MS refused to support any non-standard setup and folks were scared of potential issues (I use it on my home machine and it is usable for the most part. Few issues come up during upgrades etc but otherwise its fine)

I've given up with AirPods Pro. I had to replace them several times during the warranty period (once was a recall). Even when working correctly they would have annoying connection problems, for several conference calls I had to switch back to an old school wired pair, which just always works.

My attempt to have the case (which only showed life while connected to power) resulted in Apple throwing away my working AirPods and trying to upsell me a whole new case + 2 AirPods (at above market price, with no charging cable, and a shorter warranty).

If you do still have AirPods out of warranty- a support adviser admitted to me that they don't actually service them, and they don't replace one component alone- if you send them in for repair they just toss the whole thing and sell you a new set. So if only one piece is broken just report it as lost and they'll charge you to replace it.
Yes. More than a rumor. Look up Project Astoria.
It would be interesting to profile the 2nd version though. Assuming the non-standard evaluation has performance benefits (which they do in DataFramesMeta.jl), are you eliminating those benefits when you use

Chrome only runs on Windows, some Linuxs, and some BSDs. It includes DRM that only works on some processors… It looks like Google is trying to prevent the "web platform" from continuing to exist as a competitor to Chrome, and I don't see how that's any different.
With Mac / iOS devices? It should not behave like this. Consider swapping them out.
100 YouTube subs after 6 videos. Is that an indication of quality?

* 101 Subs
* 150hrs of watch time
* Unique Viewers 2k

Why do we see so many markdown editors? Is there some library or widget out there that everyone starts from to parse and render markdown, and then it just turns into a simple exercise of putting a UI in front of it and adding a tiny number of novel features? I can’t understand why so many people keep producing basically the same application with tiny variations to edit and view what is a relatively simple structured text format. I sort of remember from the 80s the quick and dirty app that you could find many of variants of for Commodore, Apple, and PC systems was a recipe database, largely because it was an easy exercise. Is the markdown editor todays version of that?

The point is that it is easily defeated by steganography (i.e., your hashes would all be different).

Pointing out a post history with a definitive bias in favor of cryptocurrency adds context to the commenter’s statement of finding the author’s bias stupefying. It helps other readers of the thread to make a better decision about whether or not the author’s bias is, in fact, stupefying, or merely that janandonly wants to discredit the author for disagreeing with them.

By this metric, calling the author’s bias “stupefying” is a personal attack. So either this entire thread is not constructive and your participation is exacerbating the problem or you’re merely providing cover fire for janandonly.

Personally, viewing your other comments in this thread, I’m inclined to believe it’s the later.
Allow me to be an armchair social scientist for a second, I think this proof that work and labor participation in the economy is firwt above all a social contract.
