Yes, this is partially true. turning off Google/Apple/Amazon/Facebook/Microsoft will break stuff. this big five entrenched themselves in IT maybe too much in every possible way.

Also I don't believe country without big tech five will be at much disadvantage. They will be forced to build their own substitutes if they see need for it.
Any orthogonal polynomial family can be combined into a simple tensor product basis. So in your case you could try T_1(x), T_1(y), T_1(x)T_1(y), T_2(x), T_2(x)T_1(y), and so on.
They do not. I cited this exact policy and it fell on deaf ears. I couldn't believe it myself -- maybe I should write a dedicated post about the details just for visibility.

I just want to clarify for my own understanding - are you making an argument that this individual, that has been tested for and is known to have the polio virus in their body (one of the most widely understood viral infections we have), is actually not afflicted with polio because…the symptoms are comparable to other, potentially unknown, diseases or causes?

Additionally, are you claiming that virologists, an area of study that has proven, repeatedly (through the very apparent efficacy of countless vaccines for diseases that ravaged humanity for millennia) to be one of the most remarkably successful scientific endeavors in human history, is somehow…not scientifically rigorous?

That is a fair opinion but probably not an accurate representation of travel for most people. I've never paid for hotel wifi ever for example. It might be because you're using resorts, where they know you're going to be stuck in that place for a long time and can exploit that to charge more for everything.
I was able to reproduce this in a simple example [1]. If you refresh it a few times you will be able to see it flash (at least I did in Chrome on Mac). It is probably more noticeable if you set it up as an SPA with a page transition, but I wanted to keep the example simple.

I do not know if this is true, but I read somewhere long ago that Bluetooth was intentionally designed to be complex to create a high barrier to entry for companies implementing wireless data, particularly in the phone industry but perhaps to make things like peer-to-peer protocols difficult to implement reliably also. ANT+ is certainly much easier to use and more stable. The Bluetooth spec in its entirety is up to what now, 3000-5000 pages? Do you have a year to read it and understand it before starting your project? And all the Bluetooth vendors have created their own custom stacks with incompatible API's "designed to make using Bluetooth easier" but also ensuring that it is difficult to switch vendors and making it difficult to do anything custom (first you have to reverse engineer their API, then guess what is inside their proprietary firmware stack). I've heard the same things about the SD card standard.

Fake Dog for Home Security
Ask HN: Is it possible to strip SSL and serve plain HTTP to local browsers?
I regularly have problems accessing content due to various SSL problems, such as expired certificates, mis-matched subdomains, clock offsets, etc.

I'd like to run some kind of proxy which presents as plaintext HTTP to my browser, and goes out and gets content from the HTTPS equivalent of the same site, ignoring all SSL errors. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Surgical masks do reduce the spread of COVID-19, and even cloth masks reduce symptoms of respiratory illness. [1] During an emergency, we have to act. It's absurd to expect that we should wait for a huge study to confirm what we we already know about respiratory viruses in general. In a low-info environment, the prior is clearly to favor mask mandates. And it turns out, it was the right call!

I'm very curious as to which locations people have gotten their AirBnBs cancelled?

Hence the "simple but good". It's not really obscure, but also not on the common path. I've lost track of the number of times I've pointed this one out to a colleague or student.
the point is that there's no reason to target speeding specifically. you want to target distractedness, recklessness, and impairment to reduce accidents, thereby obviating the problem with speed exacerbating injury and death.

i'm all for narrowing lanes and adding trees to streets as traffic calming measures in urban neighborhoods, but that's because it increases attentiveness, rather than reduces speed per se. speed governors, on the other hand, are bad because they could prevent a driver from speeding up to evade a collision.

I hate it when people compare the US to any other country, except possibly Russia, or the EU as a whole.

Here's the thing first off the US is more multicultural than any other nation on earth, most other countries have had one ethnicity/nationality in it for 100s of year. The US by contrast has always has a mix of different cultures and backgrounds coming into it, from the Irish to the Italians, from the Slavic people's to the current influx of Latin America migration. This may not seem like a big deal but there are differences between cultures and having a heterogeneous cultures results in places where they will come in conflict.

2nd the United States is a group of states that are united. This isn't like simply administrative divisions, there are clear and distinct separations and lines of authority between different levels of administration, so much so that going from Illinois to Florida has such a wide gulf in laws, policies and enforcement that it is more like comparing France and the UK than Scotland and Wales.

Finally the size, the US is big, huge in fact. It's so big that there are numerous states within the US that could fit multiple European countries in them with room left over.

All in all this comparison on gun deaths or really any other metric between the US and any other country except from Russia or the EU is like comparing an SMBs closet "data center" to an AWS data center, they are totally different discussions.

Somewhat related (pardon my jumbled transcription):

"Sciences generally are divided up into two types: Pure, or Applied sciences. Applied sciences obviously undertake things that improve society. Pure science exists pretty much to satisfy human's curiosity.

Astronomy is perhaps the purest of sciences; like music, you could live without it.
You don't need it for your daily life. And for that reason it is important that the results of astronomy, this pure science, be put before the public. I feel that very strongly.

Frequently we are asked, 'So, in a world where there is hunger, why study astronomy? Why devote funds to astronomy when those funds could be used to improve mankind?'

My answer is that if you define an ideal society in which everyone has food, clothing, shelter (a roof over your head), basic medical care -- in fact such societies exist: your local prison, or jail. Each inmate has food, clothing, shelter, and medical care (not the greatest).

When the doors are opened, do people rush to get into that ideal society or do they rush to get out?
(chuckling)
We know what the answer is: they rush to get out. Why? Because as important as these necessities are, the fact that you are not free to follow your desire (so to speak) is even more important than having food on the table.
And astronomy is that [following your desire].

There is an inborn curiosity, I think, in all of us to address these questions of what's our relationship with the global environment? How did we get here? To what extent has the universe evolved in such a way that life has sprung forward?
And I think that is something that is fundamental - so I think that public outreach for astronomy is something that is really crucial."

That sounds like a bug. It would be strange for Apple to "fix" a bug by introducing a different bug. Why not just fix that bug?

Macs have supported Bluetooth for almost 20 years, as have iPhones since their beginning. It's unclear why, after all that time, this change needed to be made in the year 2020.

I only use Airbnb to get a cheaper place to stay than a hotel. I can usually get a place for ~100/night within walking distance from the beach. That is not possible with hotels (In the USA).

I am willing to accept a lower standard for a lower price. The problem is some people think they deserve a 5 star experience for $100. The places I stay are old and outdated, you may see some bugs, and usually no toiletries/towels are provided.

Yes, Hotels offer a better experience. But my entire expenses for a 5 day vacation by the beach, including flights, lodging, and food is less than $1,000 with a cheap AirBnB.
Advertising itself isn't a bad communication strategy and I think many developers are fine with it, they simply don't want propoganda. Raise my awareness of something useful I'm not aware of and then be honest about it, don't make absurd claims and don't skip cons (I know, business types only want to ever speak in the positive, especially in marketing).

If you give me a fair assessment of something without BS, I can be happy with the benefits when I understand the shortcomings. The second I see all these omissions, which is everywhere, is the second you're put in the BS until proven otherwise box by default. Developers trust other devs because other devs tend to give you this information and don't paint everything as rosy perfection.

> A lot of people buy a car every n years. For them it doesn’t matter if it lasts longer.

You can’t just keep randomly changing the relevant populations. First it was working people who can’t afford a breakdown. Now it’s wealthy people who choose to buy cars regularly. Maybe that’s why it’s difficult to grasp inflation: it’s a basket of everybody

> How do you quantify how much longer cars last?

https://ihsmarkit.com/research-analysis/average-age-of-vehic...

> Maybe people use them longer because cars are better or maybe they use them longer because they can’t afford new cars.

You’re implying that people used to junk old cars because new ones were so cheap? Interesting take.

> The paper towel is a bad example because you clearly can quantify the number of sheets

I can also literally quantify how much longer cars last (see link above).

> It gets more tricky if you say new paper towels are more absorbent so you need less so there is no inflation although the sheet costs more.

Yeah, you know inflation takes a basket of spend into account, right? So yeah if in a year, the average consumer buys half as many paper towels that cost 2x as much that is exactly “no inflation”.

> These metrics are way too easy to be gamed. Next is apples costing twice as much but they are crunchier so no inflation?

I really suggest you read up more on the thinking behind inflation if you’re going to have such a strong opinion about it. Apples being crunchier is not accounted for in hedonic adjustments [0]. Like literally. Go to FK011

> If you argue that states have the right to regulate interstate commerce

States have the power to regulate intrastate commerce within their own state. They have very limited power with regard to interstate commerce (limited, very roughly, to nondiscriminatory regulation of transactions within the state which impact interstate commerce and where such regulation also is not in conflict with federal regulation of interstate commerce), because interstate commerce is expressly Constitutionally a federal function, and state action in that domain otherwise interferes with that federal function. A more expansive view of the federal power here narrows, rather than expands, the state power.

This is ridiculous. Dozens if not hundreds researchers have confirmed the high MW oligomers correlated with pathogenesis. I have. To say that he found this or everything relied on this theory is absurd.

It was consistently in-stock at the Covina, CA IKEA around when the price jumped to $259. At least it seemed to be whenever I checked, but once it jumped to $279 I resigned to just pick up a used one eventually instead when I get back to CA.

Are you saying IKEA is still struggling to get stuff in stock today? I was under the impression that's largely behind us now.

There's for sure some youtube account which is taken as definitive and sufficient proof by some.
Nintendo definitely has a different business strategy than Sony or Microsoft.

Anyway—the cost of esoteric / more custom hardware got higher, that’s why the console manufacturers moved away from it. It would make sense to shove a lot of custom hardware in your 3D video game console in the mid-1990s, because there is simply no other way to do good real-time 3D, and you have SGI who’s willing to sell you chip designs.

As time went on, the approach of shoving big custom ASICs in your console starts to look worse and worse. Most of the CPU vendors that previously sold you all sorts of architectures like 68K, MIPS, POWER, Cell, etc. stop trying to compete with x86 hegemony. Meanwhile, you’re making life more difficult for console developers, because these custom designs are just so different from everything else on the market.

So you get the PS3, which is expensive to manufacture, and requires a lot of specialized work to program the SPEs (painful for developers). That’s two generations after the N64, and the world has changed.

I would also be less likely to call the Gamecube/Wii architecture exotic, at least compared to the PS3.
I think the opposite is true, there is just much more neural diversity that we think and the neurotypicality just hides this because we only see behaviours and those can be achieved in many completely different ways.
