I received this email and did not appreciate it too much also.

It is like:
"Congratulations, you are designated as critical, as one of the top downloaded package"

So you think, awesome, what is my prize?
"You won the right to have more restrictions on your account"

I think that it would be ok for the index to show which package are 'safer' but indeed not do it like that.

In the best world, I would imagine something like that:
Your package is tagged as not 2fa safe. Users can pledge a donation to the maintainer to motivate him to use or keep using 2fa. That he can't get without using 2fa. Something like that so the maintainer does not have all the burden that only benefit to 'free' users.
>>Shadow banking and eurodollars played a role during the 2008 crisis.

I would caution against trying to forestall financial crises through imposed centralization. The mundane benefit of a permissionless/dynamic financial system - which is to facilitate investments that produce economic returns - accrue daily, usually in imperceptible increments, while financial crises occur once every few years, with large and sudden drops in market values.

The latter gets the attention, due to their suddenness, but the benefits of the former compound to enormous proportions, and go largely unseen, due to how gradual the process is.

Ho, I used it for years, and you made me discover that strange property. Interesting.

> Or until you click somewhere, original app loses selection and your clipboard is now empty.

Yes, it's a very volatile clipboard, but if you expect your clipboard to have a lifespan greater than 5 seconds, you're probably doing something wrong.
In a civil lawsuit, the actual legal standard is "preponderance of evidence".

Factor that by cost of defending the case and potential risk of payout in that and future cases as well.

I used to ‘hang’ with a billionaire friend of the family and, maybe that might be dutch, he was incredibly frugal (drove a crappy old but not classic car, lived in a rather small house etc) and yea was obsessed with making more. He would ask me out for a coffee and ask to split the bill (or just pay his part and walk wait for me to pay my part) even though I usually just paid as I don’t like going dutch. He spent almost no money during his life. Guess that is all good for making fortunes.
It is a big part of the communication, regulation and sensory system of cells. A lot of receptors are linked to ion channels for example. That's also the reason why there are pumps to bring the ions back on the other side too.
Looks interesting, excited to give it a try! Any future ideas for expanded training features? Chord progressions, songs, etc?
Looking at the hardware, I'd wag somewhere in the $2-3M range. Depends on how big of a profit margin they want to make or how scrappy they feel like being (could probably go as low as ~$1M if they can make it up in volume).

If they're following the typical 1/5x pricing model for support, that'd be roughly $500k/yr/rack. But it's also hard to do that while simultaneously describing Dell as "rapacious".
Boring

If that's all you have to offer perhaps you should offer nothing instead.
Modern biology is maybe able to fully disassemble the simplest living forms - but assembling these microstructures synthetically is still way beyond what our tools can do. It’s same like a microchip where a whole chain of small steps lead to factories and these produced the chips. And we don’t know how the original cell/life factories looked like, we just have the cells that are now self-assembling (they are now both the highly complex factory and the product). We can take a cell and modify the code, but it’s hard to do it from scratch because you would need to skip bilions of steps that lead to these microstructures.

I have been recently thinking what is actually life - could it be a manifestation of a fundamental physical law? And this article had an interesting take: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1620001114

Man the term serverless as used in this context is kinda dumb. Your still using servers for compute...your just not using them all the time or maintaining them.

"Almost any problem can and should be solved with serverless services like Lambda, Step Functions, SNS, SQS, and EventBridge."

All of this uses an on demand server. To say your serverless is dumb. Like yeah sure if you were running lambda calls on your phone and it was the only device computing those functions. Sure your serverless. But everything old mate mentioned still needs a connection to another computer to work. And most of it is a compute function happening on servers somewhere. Rip. It's not serverless.
Yes, I had the same reaction. Altogether it's inspiring and I'm happy to see novel treatments like it when antibacterial therapies are desperately needed. At the same time seeing these inequities in the system was disturbing to me.

It's not only the special privileges the couple enjoyed -- how they received the treatment and another did not -- it's also how generating some sort of enthusiasm about a research area can require this kind of private string pulling. If one of those researchers had submitted a research grant on phage therapy would it have been approved?

I liked the article and am not meaning this as a criticism of it, the couple, the people involved, or the therapy. It's just revealing of structural problems in academics, health care, and society.

Does the study recommend antibiotics not be used to treat ear infections? I would think the message is that it's even more important not to use antibiotics when they're not needed, not that they shouldn't be used at all
> it'll be fun

Not during an interview, though. The interviewer would see it as trolling (at best), and you would fail the interview. And for a good reason! Because as an engineer (and an intelligent person in general) you must be able to separate what is essential from the non-essential for the subject in question. For instance, the physics or the physiology of the process of pushing a key on a keyboard is probably not what the question was about, nor do those things in fact have much to do with typing, even (which you can do on a touchscreen or using the mouse).
Songs are also composed of each instrument on a single audio track and they are sometimes distributed

To me, the copy of the EF 1.2L that I tested had a softness to its rendering that was very painterly. I shudder to use the term "microcontrast", but the lens appeared to have solid contrast and sharpness at broader spatial scales and a softness at the smallest scales.

It felt like a lens that rendered every scene with a deft touch, making everything just a little prettier than it might really be.

Someday, I may find a used one to call my own, but I can't quite justify its weight and expense today. The EF 1.4 largely fills that bill without the price and heft, but doesn't render things so instantaneously as art.
Exactly. I'm definitely not an IPv6 expert, but my (possibly wrong) understanding is that you'll never really get anything smaller than /64 (it's not a temporary thing during IPv6 roll-out).
Sure, your assigned IPv6 block might be changing, but AIUI it should be less frequent than in IPv4, not more. (It's one of the proposed advantages of IPv6, isn't it, that everyone could have a stable public address. Also, if you want to have IPv6 working even inside your LAN, you want your public prefix to be stable, I'd say.)
It doesn't matter what I think. Now states can decide for themselves without having the federal government force them. Because everyone is pro-life beyond a certain threshold - its just a question of when.

Ask HN: Elastic Storage Space
Hello,

my name is Chris and I am a german developer looking for feedback on an idea of mine that I would like to develop further.

The idea is to blend cloud-based storage space with the local file system in order to transparently expand storage space.

This would probably best be done as a file system driver which monitors pre-defined folders on the harddisk for given quotas, eventually transferring files to cloudspace when their surpass the preset quota space for the folder.

Once safely transferred (controlled by hash value), the local file would be replaced by a link which can then be resolved upon re-request of the file.

The idea is to thereby provide some sort of elastic storage space which only holds the most important/most often requested files locally. Everything else gets transferred to the cloud, thereby providing "unlimited" storage space or at least "greater than your hard disk size".

Does such a software already exist?

If not, would that be of interest to the community?

Thanks for any insight/comment/suggestion.
You can probably reduce it to a few billion years (lifetime of the sun) or less.
Not mentioned is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._J._Jeczalik who helped her on "Dreaming" and was also a CMI pioneer.

Jeczalik also worked on Godley and Creme's "Cry" (1985) - another synth heavy reverbish song.
> she used the Yamaha CS-80 as her main composition instrument. She seemed to favour it particularly for its touch-sensitivity, and it was one of the few synths that offered the feature at the time.

This undersells the CS-80. It had polyphonic aftertouch, which most synths don't have today.

Most have velocity sensitivity, meaning each note transmits how much initial force you applied. And most have aftertouch, meaning they transmit how much force you continue to apply after hitting bottom. But for most it's just channel aftertouch, meaning it transmits the aftertouch of the key you're pressing the hardest.

The CS-80 transmitted aftertouch of each individual key, and had nice controls to to adjust how it used that information. A lot of synths can use polyphonic aftertouch but only a few new ones actually have poly-AT keyboards. The ones I know of are the Hydrasynth (out for a couple years now), the Behringer UB-Xa, and the Iridium keyboard (both introduced this year).

Vangelis was also a huge CS-80 fan and used it on the Blade Runner soundtrack. Incidentally, a boutique synth that replicates the CS-80 pretty well (without keyboard) is the Deckard's Dream. It's $4000 but that's way less than a vintage CS-80.
if the code for the web app is available (assuming a license that permits it) there is no need to use an extension to copy a component. you got the source code

if the code is not available, very likely you will not have permission to use it.

Don't see a legal usage of this kind of tool in a commercial context. Pretty useful as a learning too though

I agree that modern society is not set up to encourage having children as well as that people start about a decade too late with it.

But still, even in societies with excellent maternity leave and child support, people do not have more children.

Why not? Because things like "free child support" in reality are a clever distraction. It's not there to help you have a large family, it's there so that the parent keeps working full-time.

It doesn't really solve anything. There's no point in having a (large) family if you can't be with your family.

The headline on this post is misleading. The text seems accurate, though I think the author is unaware that T-Mobile exists in other countries beside the US, and the wikipedia links are not totally clear if the block applies to all of T-Mobile or just the part they say is difficult to deal with (T-Mobile USA). Presumably just T-Mobile USA???
So someone can collatoralize $1,500,000 worth of ETH to take out $1,000,000 worth of DAI loan. [I will let all my millionaire friends know] This isn't exactly useful for home ownership, as I can collatoralize $200,000 deposit to buy the same house with a bank. The difference that the bank does home valuation and risk assessment, and bears the risk that I will default. And MakerDAO charges a few percent interest for the loan [And at the extreme these loans are only repayble because of fiat monetary expansion...]

These pseudo zero-risk loans aren't exactly useful. The hard part of finance is in valuations, risk assessment, and regulatory compliance. And I stress the word pseudo, even DAI is built on a house of cards, although somewhat sturdier than its competition [order of mangitude depreciation, and when the market can't catch a bid it may be game over]

And those appeals can be ruled upon and then the case can reach a conclusion. It's not like the lawyers can just take _any_ case with _any_ facts and keep the case from _ever_ reaching a conclusion.

The real question you should ask yourself is, if $44 billion is on the line, how long would you continue to pursue the case in the face of lawyers who are just trying to drag it out? Even if it went on for years (it's not assured Musk's lawyers could drag it out past a year), I can think of 44 billion reasons to continue with the case.

Oh yeah of course, but in my experience it’s quite rare for these multi-tracks to end up online. Demucs can in many cases extract an acappella which would be good enough to make a remix with (of course using ML trickery, so it’s not going to be the actual real acappella and might have some leakage from other sounds in the track etc.)

Thanks for the link for a podcast version. That's helpful. I did listen to those two talks earlier and those were probably the most interesting. I did dislike that there seemed to be a constant process of interrupting each other in the middle of someone telling a story so the story became quite fragmented as it took some time to come back to the topic (or the topic was forgotten entirely and never elaborated on after the interruption).

Another thing that ended up being frustrating is repeated references to some image and I had to pause and go digging through people's personal twitter accounts to try and find the image that was being talked about. There seemed to be an assumption that the listener follows all employees personal twitter accounts.

There's also audio quality issues in general as it's not nearly as good a quality of media equipment as was used for the original on the metal podcast. (Maybe it's similarly cheap equipment, but it was better quality before regardless.)

They usually are but don't have to be. If you only copy the JS you'll miss any HTML content in the page that the React component uses for hydration, any CSS that's linked rather than defined in the component, any code that sits outside of the React structure, anything that comes down over an API or a socket, etc.

Itd be possible to build a React app that has very little React code in it, but it'd also be weird.
When they don't change the T&C, the rule is the same for everyone and you can complain.

When they change it, it is a favor they do to you, to not enforce it for you. You can't complain. They can hold you hostage to revoke this exception if you do something they don't like or if you offer an Oss stack that is in competition with their own things.

That’s a logical assumption without direct archaeological support.

Remember we started with wild plants so a significant energy investments beyond throwing seeds may simply have been wasted effort because it’s less needed and has lower rewards. Further removing competitors is a non obvious behavor.

The benefits of a possible harvest increased after destination so the time lag between just tossing seeds and active farming could have been a very long period.
Which could be equally dangerous as external pesticides like glyphosate.
