Anti-vaxxers are people who find for some reason that vaccines are bad or somewhat bad and should be avoided and then desperately constructs articles like this to mislead other people and convince them to accept their beliefs.

I touched this topic only because the author tries to convince us that he is not one.

Why is it important? Because their beliefs distract them to view this issue objectively.

For example if two doses of vaccine do not work against new variant, they conclude that vaccines are bad and should be abandoned instead of asking and testing if three doses might work.

I am seeing the same again with omicron. Vaccines do not work, should be abandoned. I am seeing that they still work fairly well, at least against serious illness that requires hospitalization and actually after boosting also against infection but just the virus is everywhere and changes to get it are enormous and this makes it hard to avoid even when vaccinated by three doses (efficacy is around 60% with 3 doses that is about the same as was 2 doses with delta but delta was just much much slower virus (even though I thought that it was fast back then)).

Maybe this doctor really is not one but people who are, are going to use this opinion piece to confuse other people and gain support against vaccination even when it really is the best option that they got at the moment.

This is why I find this aspect also important.
My main point is the data is anonymous at source.
I think having control over how that data is correlated back to an individual is important
I remember when Cruise started as a post here on HN asking for people to submit their resumes.

Congrats to them!
Analysts and consultants who use excel frequently are poorly served. Valuable time is lost in pivot tables, filtering/refreshing data, and formatting slides.

We recently launched http://plot-ai.com to tackle this problem. It is a no-code excel add-in for data analysis, visualization and publishing (slides/web).

We have pilots going on and a lot of interest from folks in data science, consulting, strategy, finance, BI.

If this excites you as an end user or a developer I would love to chat. Ping me - anup@plot-ai.com

Well, parents aren't legally obligated to provide support past age 18, which means many don't. And youths that are wards of the state because of abuse or their parents becoming incarcerated, dying, etc, are not supported beyond age 18. So this is at least a frequent corner case we'll have to deal with, even if social norms change so that more parents support kids past 18.
waze is even worse because the ads pop up on you during navigation like a malicious webpage from 2003. I pulled over and uninstalled the app the first time that happened and never looked back.

It rings true to me. I designed a piece of software that runs a 25 million dollar business line at a major corp. The moment I was done I was shown the door so my superiors could take credit.

I was the first team member of a major linux distribution, I named it and designed a critical portion of the build system. The self-promoters quickly took credit for my contributions.

I have a patent for a silly invention, but I am listed as the last inventor. The VP of the company is listed as the first inventor having had nothing to do at all with it.

Yes, I'm an idiot.
You guys are getting solicited for money?
If your primary output is software then maybe you're right. But in most companies software enables more efficient output usually in the form of products or services. A bank uses software, but it's profit is based upon banking... etc.

It's why most Fortune 500 companies run Java, so they can easily replace one person with another.
I don't agree with that. the likelihood of them reducing the cost of the antenna to what it needs to be in Africa is close to 0. even legacy satellite providers, with terminals that are 1/5 the cost cannot do it. and those aren't phased array
Wow, didn't realize the benefits of working for a FAANG were so good! Never realized it was possible to have a profile on linkedin and not be spammed.
Every single enterprise company I know of pays for gsuite. Every university too. They could just lean into that.
> leaking nude photos from someone's camera

whatever happened to that meme about common ccd cameras picking up uv images that make out details through eg swimsuits, but hopefully filtered and removed in software before making it to the images?
It definitely is, they blogged about it just a few days ago: https://www.docker.com/blog/how-docker-desktop-networking-wo...
Of course, when we're talking about a UBI, there are always some geographic distributions of wealth that one might quibble with: from large urban states to rural states. Taxes paying for UBI flowing out of California will exceed UBI flowing into California; taxes paying for UBI flowing out of Wyoming will be dwarfed by UBI flowing into Wyoming.

And, further, beyond the balance of transfers in absolute dollars-- $1000/mo in California impacts resident life less than $1000/mo in Wyoming.

I don't think this is a strong reason to not do UBI, but it's a confound.
Wow, thanks. I am really behind the times. $80 gets you some oomph:

Full site editing has to be explicitly enabled by the theme. By default it is off.

I recently upgraded my WP sites to 5.9 and nothing really changed at all. Because the theme I'm using does not opt-in to full site editing. This whole post seems to be a knee jerk reaction that isn't based in reality.

TLDR: Nothing has actually changed for this person or their clients

clients don't deserialize json.

object graphs should be just called json or response body; you shouldn't use all these unorthodox terms.

a failure will be caught if a 400 was sent. This is how axios works - if you try a request, a 400 will automatically hit the catch.

a better designed system would be specificity. 75-90% of the time you're most likely going to look at the error body anyways.
these terminals and plans aren't for the rdof program.
I got hit with this pop-up. It is a charade, despite the UI making it feel like a technical requirement.

And here is how I know it is a charade: voice navigation and the map itself both work perfectly in the background of this undismissable pop-up.

This is the most coerced I've felt in a long time and I can't help but feel that maybe iOS users don't feel this way.
>More importantly still, I am trying to sound a cultural alarm bell about the exaltation of order, disciple and control as Canadians’ primary political values. The fact is that those values are authoritarian

They're not just Canadian values and not really authoritarian. Contest for power is and has always been the primary function of the political. Politics is the business of deciding who orders, the fact that someone does is not in question, and a bunch of peace protesters or truckers had never any meaningful impact on anyone. The internal party politics of whoever is holding power is what matters. That goes for private companies or governments regardless of how often they talk about participation or inclusion or whatever else.

So the actual observation here is that it isn't really relevant whether you're for or against the trucker cause, but and the author seems to agree, the only effect that the trucker protest has is that it makes them look exactly like what they're being caricatured as.
I'm confused why the comments here aren't more critical of stablecoins. A stablecoin is just a bank deposit without an interest rate, and with very little in the way of regulation over what the issuer does with the cash that has been deposited. Without some other mechanism, they wouldn't exist except as a novelty.

The question must become "what is the other mechanism?". In the case of Tether, which has the largest market cap of any stablecoin, as far as I know, the scam is this. If I want to have liquidity on Bitfinex, I need to go buy tethers. If I try to make a transaction for bitcoins with dollars on the exchange, it could take days to process. There's no particular reason for this, You're just trading shares of a large wallet. So I must first go buy some tether from bitfinex, but wait, USD to Tether liquidity is also artifically capped. If I try to buy tether for dollars, it can also take days.

It follows that the only way to obtain liquidity on one of these exchanges is to buy and hold stablecoins. This is the premise upon which the exchanges that print these currencies can then turn around and lend the dollars used to buy them.

If you discovered, suddenly, that a casino had 78 billion dollars in chips just floating around, you would rightly wonder what the hell was going on, although the explanation would likely be different.

Tether is not a cryptocurrency, it's a casino chip. An escrow account that the bank is illegally investing in risky securities, entirely for the profit of its executives, investment in which is entirely funded by manipulating access to the wider crypto market.
Again: the privacy/threat model is what matters.

I do not operate under the delusion that I will stop my bank or payment card provider from seeing my transactions, or that my government can't obtain a lawful order to inspect the details of my finances. My interest is in protecting my privacy from people who are not in those domains: my local bodega owner, a bored Internet denizen who decides that They Just Don't Like Me, a snooping relative. I do not want to live in a world where those people, by default, get to see and evaluate my financial behavior. That, so far, is the only world that immutable public ledgers currently offer me.

Thus far, privacy in the blockchain space seems to have become more expensive, not "better" in either the statistical or colloquial sense of the word. I'll believe it when I see it. In the mean time, the dollars I use to buy my morning coffee are about as anonymous as they were yesterday, last week, and last year.
When you write an api, add "dollars_saved", for the amount of dollars your api is currently saving the company. CFO's love that quantitative shit.
It's eye-opening to know the Turing completeness of TypeScript' type programming. It is fun and insightful to know this fact. The examples are simple and to the point.
> The US lacks the state capacity to tell who was going to have trouble with COVID-19 closures, and who wouldn't, so a whole lot of money just had to go to people that had no need for it whatsoever.

I love how it’s so critical that we means-test individual welfare so that no dollar can possibly go to someone who doesn’t need it, but when it comes to means-testing corporations for handouts, all of a sudden it’s impossible to determine which corporations need the help and which ones don’t. So just dump money on anyone who fills out the paperwork. If welfare and food stamps just went to anyone who applied, politicians would be up in arms.

Are you old enough to remember https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webring ?

Take that idea and evolve it into a federated search service. If your site is in the "fishing" ring then your pages get indexed into the fishing index and the search widget on your site would potentially return results from all the sites in the same ring.

I guess I want SearchRing.
I’m interested, and could help out in any area of that stack.
Comparing volumes is a cheap trick to inflate the values. A cube that is 500 000 times as large by volume is only 80 times as large by side length.
It makes intuitive sense since you can say, play video games with one eye closed. Yes you lose field of view. Yes you lose some depth perception. But you don’t need to touch your finger tips and all your ability to make predictive choices and scan for things in your one-eyed field of view remains intact.

In fact, we already have things with remote human pilots.

So increasing the field of view with a single camera should intuitively work as long as the brains of the operation was up to the task.
I have a lot of experience with TI's IWR6843AOP chip and dev kit. It has 3 transmitters and 4 receivers and it'd be impossible to create a facial reconstruction with it.

Yeah sorry I don't think so. I'll respond to recruiters who have something to offer, but it's pretty obvious who that is and who is just wasting your time.
I don't understand the confusion. Doubleclick ate Google from the inside. How can you possibly expect them to do anything else? Anything that favors your privacy, ever? They are in the business of consuming your data for profit. That is google's industry: consuming you.

They are absolutely running with the motto "be evil". You think some checkbox in a "privacy settings" window is going to stop it?
This is great, thank you for creating it! I just added it to my $PATH.
SW in its current state of things is horrible and unacceptable. I agree. I cannot understand how remotely is it possible basic basic intuitive logic fails. I've been in this industries for decades as QA, SW, Pgm Mgr/TPM. And the fault is at all levels. Not just QA.

QA: For the most part QA always wants to do the right things and push but they are so low in say, it matters very little to none. And having worked at FAANG/M, QA's are wives/friends/no industry experienced hires as favors of engineers who couldn't spell QA if their lives depended on it.

ENG: they do what they are told and agreed to an absolute minimum. I.E. don't even bother with boundaries yet alone check corner cases and don't even bother with basic smoke/regression testing before checking in. They rather just break the build and spend 2-3 days on retraction than to spend the 2-3 days of being thorough, complete and working.

TPM/Prj/Pgm Mgrs: Meeting their own badly projected schedules and/or trying to meet unrealistic schedule driven by factor outside of their control.

Prod Mgr: Badly researched, designed and defined product. A good product doesn't need to be explained. It should be designed to just work. Thanks Steve Jobs for pushing that mantra. It's like products for babies designed by people who has no concept of a child, or designing Autonomous driving by a person who doesn't own a car or drives.

A clear example what happened to me today. I have Googl home thingy in every room. As a father to a toddler, having voice control at times is indispensable. Today, I tried to get a mini to stream music but it tried to stream a video stream and complained that I couldn't on that device, but it proceed to then stream the audio portion? And before I noticed that it was, I clarified my request by saying to stream music. So it did...BUT it was streaming the audio portion of the video it says it couldn't do and the new content. I tried everything under the sun to stop one or the other or all on every device...NOTHING. It kept playing. I was bathing my kid and had to dry my hands, get to a phone to manually pull up the home app and kill the streams. OMG. Now my toddler screams one thing and only one thing because that's all that is screamed in our house; "Hey Googl....STOP!"

There is no question the idiot who said, "move fast and break things" is being literally executed everywhere.

Love and hate with Tesla the same. For every update, there are 10 things they break/step backwards.

I have no solution and it's a mindset of next gen companies to give their users quality and quantity. I loved gadgets, tech and all things shiny shiny but the disappointed is almost unbearable.

PS> Now that we have literally an army of geriatrics with time and money. Someone should create the "Grandparents tested and approved" certification. If they can find what they need to do without intervention, you got gold.
I missed the word “onerous“, as in neither has a onerous tax. Thanks for catching that.
Serverless exists because of developers
I have had some positive third-party recruiter experiences, but only after being referred by friends. On the other hand, there are other guys putting up fake listings to trick you into contacting them.

Hello hello, PM for the feature checking in here. amf12's reply is quite on-point. Web and App Activity is designed to store search activity across all Google services, and we're splitting Workspace data out since it's governed by strict data handling guarantees, with the hope that more people will feel comfortable getting the benefits of better search in Workspace without having to opt-into search history being tracked for all Google services.

Search history can be immensely useful for our users, since a lot of them re-run prior searches or want search experiences built on top of prior ones. Today, for the Workspace paid offering admins who choose to disable the somewhat confusingly named Web and App Activity admin console control, users in the domain have no ability to get relevant and historical search suggestions in Drive or Gmail that can help them save time.
Cause we are much fatter
Yet, we all use their services, willingly or not. Need a class action and rigorous approach this problem. Else, this reinforcing loop will just continue
I actually subscribed to the wood palette industry newsletter for years because… because I just like wood palettes…
I agree. I tried listening to Clint Eastwood's Jah Lights Shining earlier today thru a speaker system I'm DIYing and it's really not the same unless you've got proper speakers.
I had been told the Legacy G Suite “unlimited” storage would be grandfathered. That turned out to be not true :(
Ouch I actually read the patent. It is a modification of existing system for long wires, where high current pulse is not feasible. Energy is slowly collected to a capacitor and triggered with a tone signal.

-- So I was totally wrong this time, but US Patent System still sucks.
I am in almost exactly the same boat. I built my first Wordpress-based website in 2005, and it is still online today. I've had to employ a constellation of plugins (some third-party, some home-grown) to keep Gutenberg from mangling my content. Gutenberg could have (and in my opinion, should have) been just another official plugin. Instead it's trying to break my site's bones so they will re-heal in a new configuration. Begone unwelcome meddler!
Reminds me of my runescape days
Why not just fix the swimsuits? Seems like a much more straightforward solution.
Also, remember the reddit and Boston bomber situation? publicly doxxing someone is almost NEVER a good idea.
If that was a universal good why do we keep inventing machines to replace labour? Would it be better to hire servants to wash dishes and fetch water to scrub clothing in the tub, or is this labour that we can largely get machines to do, and free humans from?
DoubleClick's ad domains are hard coded into Google Chrome [1], so that additional telemetry is sent to their ad servers on every request. You cannot disable it. It's never disclosed to users.

When you use Chrome, you're literally using the DoubleClick Browser.

Privacy and ethical concerns aside, this is a clear antitrust violation. Google's ad competitors are at an automatic disadvantage.

The FTC has gone after Intel for releasing a compiler that deliberately disadvantaged competitors, but Google doing much more egregious evil stuff to ad competitors isn't touched. I guess it pays to have the House of Reps Speaker Pelosi own copious amounts of profitable call options in Google. [2] It's profitable to look the other way, isn't it?

I talked with a mortaging company that's pretty big after hearing a friend's experience. Got through with the first interview. A recruiter at a third party firm heard about this and called me up: "I thought I told you about this, do you want me to say some nice things about you?" I didn't understand what she was conning me into so I said yes. (This was mid morning. By late afternoon I get a call from the gmorgage people saying "hey you did great in the first interview but we're going to pass.")

Recruiters comment on that: "They keep passing on everyone I refer"

Ended up getting a job elsewhere, and the recruiter still hit me up on "do you have any referrals?"
> mmWave radar doesn’t process visual light, what it sees is not personally identifiable

that is not how "personally identifiable" works

as long as you can (re-)identify a person with it it's personally identifiable data. Even if identification is done by using a mmWave radar and some simple ML.
I've considered compiling into C code, but after seeing what cfront (compiles from C++ to C) had to go through, I figured that would be a ton more work than just generating code directly!

From personal experiences I do not see how they are ready. They actively avoid the rules of the road and engage in dangerous driving actions because the car “sees” and obstacle or warning.for example when a car is double parked the self driving vehicles will swerve into the opposite lane, and in some cases almost hit another car, bike rider, or person.

When at stop signs they will sit back and wait even thought it is their turn. At times they will slam on brakes causing rear end accidents because the car saw a bird or reacted to steam from the ground.

Please talk with your legal team about embellishments made in insurance claims against other drivers.
