I _think_ you want a feature where the reader removes any margins in the document for display. Basically, a "crop the paper format" function. And... yeah, I'd want my reader to have that! (And my Kindle! When sometimes reading a PDF, this would be great!) Does any PDF reader support something like that?
The WIV was not set up in Wuhan to study bats in Hubei. That is a total misconception. It was set up in 1956 with no connection whatsoever to bat-borne sarbecoviruses. That specialization arose later, but studies were made principally in Yunnan province. There is no connection between the bat specialization of the WIV and its location in Hubei.
This is the worst type of clickbait. The types of people who would be attracted by the title will hate the article because it doesn't have a straightforward title. And the types of people who would enjoy the story probably won't be too intrigued by the title.

A title like this should emphasize on the 13,200 years part and why it took so long to solve this mystery. Instead it talks about the life of a mastodon, which while very interesting, isn't really much of a mystery. In fact, the word mystery appears only in the title and nowhere else.
That might be overly jaded. I think an unplanned and unwanted pregnancy is a loss for everyone involved, so it's a bit of a no-brainer for companies to offer this relocation.
The issue isn't that they have to start abruptly, it's that there has to be a clearly-defined endpoint. That way people can feel secure that the layoff is over, and that they aren't at risk. If you do rolling layoffs, people will live in fear (and the best will find employment elsewhere).
> Good Laws are objective, not subjective

There's a difference between the way French and Germans write laws and the way we write them in the UK; I prefer the UK style, which leaves less room for interpretation.

> basically every small business in the EU is in violation right now

Only if they're handling personal data. Most small businesses don't.

Sure, if your business is collecting personal data, then GDPR is a problem for you; in the same way as the Road Traffic Act is a problem if you're determined to drive uninsured. If you want to sail close to the wind, then it's probably wise to lawyer-up.

And, of course, you don't have to use AWS.

> And it's bureaucratic assholery that keeps this deliberately inconsistent

That's not how I read it. The way I read it, GDPR is astonishingly lenient. Before they prosecute, they'll warn you; provide advice on how to come into compliance; and give you time to do it.

> choosing arbitrary standards

If GA involves depositing personal data in US jurisdiction, then you can't use GA in a GDPR jurisdiction. That's not vague or arbitrary. It may be - um - bold; But this law was flagged up years before it came into force. It's not as if the law came out of nowhere, and suddenly everyone's in violation.

> Its ridiculous and bad for their own economies.

Others have argued that GDPR is an attempt by the EU to steal Silicon Valley's breakfast, implying that it's good for European economies.
A pay-as-you-go burner phone is pretty cheap.
It never was part of it, like Ireland.
> WHO-China report already stated that fact.

"China said so, so it must be true."
Ditto for zoonosis. The problem is that people treat the zoonotic transfer hypothesis as some kind of default, the incumbent to which we must defer in the absence of compelling evidence to the contrary. This is a mistake, given the proximity to the WIV and the nature of the work being done there. If the pandemic had started in some remote village nowhere near a lab this line of argument would be far more compelling.
> Why do we keep moving the goalposts? So it not only needs to be open source but now it needs to be from a non profit

The goalposts were never moved. It's a thing that ardent anti-applers do not understand.

Google is a web ad agency. 80% of its profits come from web advertisement. At the same time they:

- control the browser market

- control the search market

- fully and utterly dominate web and javascript standards committees, and regularly release features based on their own specs and pretend they are standards

See how many conflicts of interest there are?

> Why does manpower matter?

Chrome releases 40 to 100 new APIs with every release (so, every two months or so)[1]. And these new APIs are immediately taken up as gospel and standard by gullible web devs who now claim that all other browsers need to implement them.

This is the question of manpower.

So is this: it is absolutely impossible to build a modern web browser [2]. Microsoft, a trillion-dollar company tried and failed, and is now repackaging Chrome, with minor changes.

> I wish Apple would either open source Safari

WebKit is as open-sourced as Chromium. Safari is as closed source as Chrome.

Mandated to keep your job if you worked at a company that implemented Biden's rule for firms with >100 employees. Mandated to go to public places including museums and schools in many large cities. Mandated for many workers in healthcare and police forces. Mandated (including boosters!) for students to continue attending colleges where they had been enrolled for years.

Many people lost their jobs to oppose and help end these mandates (which, incidentally, did essentially zero to combat the spread of Covid), and now a lot of people want to pretend the whole thing never happened because they just don't want to take the L, and admit that they supported some pretty heinous stuff in a moment of media-driven panic and scapegoating.
There of no known lineage B sarbecoviruses that have a furin cleavage site, at least not prior to SARS-COV-2. This polybasic furin cleavage site is found in various proteins from many viruses, including Betacoronavirus Embecoviruses, and the Merbecovirus. However, within the betacoronaviruses of the sarbecovirus lineage B, this type of site is unique to SARS-CoV-2. It's never been seen before.

Ask HN: What's the most exciting thing you've built?
The borrow checker does allow that, though, as long the uses don't interleave and the references created correctly. As long as `f` is not used between `a`'s creation and last use, and `a` comes from `f`, it's valid for that alias to exist. You can see that with this code example, which is accepted:

#[derive(Debug)]
pub struct Foo {
a: i32
}

impl Foo {
fn get_a(&mut self) -> &mut i32 {
&mut self.a
}
}

pub fn thing(mut foo: &mut Foo) {
let f = &mut foo;
let a = f.get_a();
if *a > 5 {
println!("{:?}", f);
}
}

That's why I was so surprised the compiler rejected it.

Though worrying if it's done, I doubt that it's done at any scale in the way you're suggesting. Linking accounts is PII and the GDPR would require consent, right to view the information, right to correct the information and so on.

I think it was only doable in the end in the article because the data were released as part of a legal process.

Regarding your YouTube story, there are lots of examples of things like this (e.g. "I talked to someone about X in person then saw X in Facebook ads") but I haven't yet seen hard evidence. So far I've written it off as coincidence at scale.

VPN detection isn’t rocket science. It’s a commodity and works well for Netflix and all other services relying on geo ip detection. It’s not always accurate but works well enough. Blocking data center IP ranges is also done frequently and so spinning up a VPS on a provider like DigitalOcean won’t work.

The most likely option to use is residential proxies which are real IPs of devices, these are very hard to block but expensive.

Probably best to just go to a public wifi and used a burner phone if that’s what you want to do.

Your comment reminds me of the "Collections" feature in Microsoft Edge, where you can collect a group of related URLs and notes together. I haven't used Edge in a while, but I recall I used it a few times and it was a better experience than the regular "bookmark something and forget about it until it bit rots" which I've never been fond of.

Now I wonder, can I have "Collections" on Firefox?
That's basically correct, although the top tiers of the employment pass hierarchy are permitted to bring in dependents and parents. Only on long-term passes, though; becoming permanent residents, much less citizens, is off the agenda unless you're willing to sign up your offspring for at least two years of military service.
I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying that a down round after having raised at a "silly" valuation is worse for founders than a seed round at a terrible valuation?

The only way in which this can possibly be true is investor psychology. In purely economic terms, having raised equity capital at what turns out to be a "silly" valuation is unconditionally good for the company and its founders.

The company isn't off to a bad start at all. Investors are off to a bad start.

He didn’t do as he was told by doctors. That would entail things like not taking medications some days, or taking at the wrong time, or drinking alcohol/doing drugs etc which interacted with his medication. It more broadly, just doing anything which doctors said not to do.

In most medical areas these are really important things for outcomes. You can do the best medicine possible and give the perfect treatment, but it means jackshit if the patient doesn’t take the medication.

Somehow they tricked giant corporations and tons of small ad buyers into spending their money?

And yes, I can track that it is in fact real money from real people in a greater amount than I spent on the ads.

Now I don't know the details of those stories but I can tell you the comments are what you'd think. There's never context when someone feels wronged and wants to show the world.

Google like many companies doesn't comment in detail on these types of situations so what we would get is the kind of headlines the parent made up.
Why the heck are there no screenshots on that site? Not even in the home page?

I would class him as a lone possibly mentally unstable sad individual rather than a criminal.
I was joking with my boss the other day that the way I start out my technical writing (which I hate because it is such a different skill set) is to start “talking shit” and then I self-edit based on the fear that someone is going to call me out for this or that, and then I have my boss look at it and edit it before it goes anywhere.

It’s my new framing of it because I think that storytelling is fundamental to producing useful information. Also, I was a drama major w/ comp sci minor, so I’m probably doing what I was meant to.

Technical writing should evoke emotions, not at 6 or above in a 1-10 scale of intensity, but shit, say something or what’s the point? There’s always drama at work with enough people, always politics. Sprinkling a bit of that is actually healthy imho. Not that you want cringe, but the tone, it’s colored different, when you are describing why port numbers were chosen, for example. Tell people stories.

Also, be willing to invite someone else to shape and change even the things you feel the most conviction about. Too often we put ourselves into a cultural prison where we insist on making measurable contributions like an API or some cool feature that we can “specialize” in. Specialize on your own time, that’s my advice. At work, do something special, don’t specialize. It’s a myth.
> Claiming … you’ll be tired taking care of the ones you literally love more than anything in existence

Yeah, it should be easy and normalized. This isn’t even a situation like alcohol/prohibition that has pros and cons we must legislate against to find the right balance. The right to a safe abortion is fully positive. Why restrict a good thing?

Well they just regulated women's bodies today...
I agree with both of your points, but I would argue that the blog post is an example of overspecialization. In some roles generalists are better than specialists, and I think technical writing is in this category. Then the question becomes: how to get general knowledge? I think learning on the job is suboptimal for most cases.

And I agree about the resource issues in journalism, but I think this is a secondary issue to the problem of having a fundamental understanding of what you are writing about.

> I don't disagree bash's process management facilities are severely lacking in many respects, but your example ain't one of them.

It is. I really did upload bad data because of bash's poor pipe handling. Maybe a better example:

generate_data | commit_to_database

commit_to_database reads from stdin and writes to a database. When it reaches EOF it'll COMMIT.

I don't want to commit something half-generated. Maybe commit_to_database replaces the current set of data with the updated version, serving bad data to users.

It needs to know that it's complete.

Another example is the classic "curl https://... | bash". This command is of course a problem. But not for the obvious reason. The obvious reason is that you don't know what it does, yet you just run it. But really most people are not going to audit that shellscript anyway.

So lets say you actually trust that source. There's still a problem. If the file has a command like "rm -fr /tmp/foo", and the TCP connection is cut right after "rm -fr /" then even though there's no end-of-line that "rm -fr /" is still run.

Bash thinks the file just ended, and runs the command. It's "committing" data that was partial, because it thought it was complete.

(this is why bash scripts often actually create functions to do this, and then have the very last line of the file run the function. But they don't all do that)

> If for some bizarre reason the rightmost command still continues to run (despite process to its left has exited) or you want to be extra sure, you may run the pipe in a subshell and end it with 'kill -- -$BASHPID'.

That's still a race condition. And that kills the parent process, not the downstream process, so does not prevent the downstream process from committing.

> I fail to see in what kind of a scenario a command in a pipe would be (or you'd want it to be) still running on the left hand side despite command(s) to its right has exited.

I would not. I'm trying to communicate an "failure, abort, do not commit" to downstream commands.
Is there an estimate on when they will freeze the core language itself? Are they still making core syntax or semantic changes? I'm planning to take a look at zig for hobby projects and can live with stdlib changing, but have to wait if they are still making wholesale changes.
I think that's a little too jaded. Much more likely they do this now for brownie points and quietly kill the program as soon as nobody's looking.

You also have to keep in mind that the cost of onboarding a new developer is orders of magnitude more expensive than allowing a developer to relocate out of state or pay for a temporary trip there.
