I hate going to conferences, it's extremely stressful and I can't sleep in hotels. So I'm trying to get away with as few conferences as possible, giving lots of local talks. However, conferences are extremely important to get to know the community, especially during early career stages. People get known and invited for contributions to things like special issues or international research projects by going to conferences, and it's important in many disciplines to find like-minded scholars. Sometimes this is not obvious from the publications, we recently organized a conference at our place and I realized that I agreed with another researcher on almost everything even though we thought we disagreed. It turned out that our backgrounds and terminology were just a bit different. This happened in the humanities where personal contacts are more important, I'm sure it's different in STEM fields. Another reason is that it has become impossible to follow all publications even when you're highly specialized. Conferences serve to give you an overview of other work and make it less likely to get lost in the swamp of publications. There are trends in science like anywhere else, and you better know them if you want to get funding and be at the forefront of research.

However, I personally experienced during Covid that online events can be the second best thing and they would be much better in terms of the CO2 footprint. That's something to think about and in the future more events will be hybrid for sure. However, online events cannot replace conferences. The reasons are the same as in business, I guess, first it's way more likely someone records you without your consent online (and it's also hard to decline when you're asked), and second, there is no good way to chat to specific people afterwards.

As for sabbaticals, I don't get them as a postdoc but they can be extremely helpful for writing books. Professors are often bogged down with administrative burdens and teaching, and the purpose of a sabbatical is to free them to allow them to sit back and think about foundational issues. Funding for senior research fellowships somewhere else while temporarily suspending teaching duties can be even better.
Nice alternative for a CMS or Webflow for simple use cases.

Nitpick: “developers time” -> “developers’ time”
Looking at the list of adverse events is really interesting, and leads me to agree with the conclusion that this study lies somewhere between "inept bumbling" and "deliberate lying with statistics." Forget the red herring of comparing across the Pfizer and Moderna studies (which clearly have very different sample properties); the within-study comparisons are also a little suspect.

Most of the adverse effects have frequencies of 1-3, which is literally the lower limit of what kind of data we can use to estimate anything about anything (ask an actuary about modeling "rare events" or "extreme events"). Moreover, what is not reported is the number of affected individuals; there is no indication about whether or not the two poor souls who ended up with pancreatitis in the Moderna trial were also the two people who ended up with diarrhea in the same trial. I am very leery of looking at the sum of these effects and concluding that, in aggregate, the Moderna vaccine is more dangerous than Covid-19 infection (let alone more dangerous than the placebo) when it comes to these "rare" adverse events -- because it doesn't make a lot of sense to aggregate these numbers.

What stands out among all this rare-events noise is the risk of cardiac injury and coagulation disorder. There might actually be some meat on that bone. In the Pfizer trial, we have 8.5 instances of coagulation disorder per 10k versus 5.3 instances per 10k in the placebo. That's not nothing, and might even be "statistically significant" depending on your decision criteria. But again, without a comparison to Covid itself on this particular metric (the "risk reduction" numbers are buried in the text and not clearly enumerated), there's not much you can conclude here.
lmao, unfortunately I think this is true.
I have bad news: it's not only true for the password manager. You have to trust the OS and every single apps you install on your computer because any of them could install a malicious update and steal all your passwords whenever you use them.
You get way more VC washing I mean funding.
A few years ago I read a book about a prolific CC hacker, which said restaurants were the worst for CC security. It wasn't unusual for them to store CC numbers with CVC on easily-hacked computers. The hacker would target common restaurant software and just snarf up the numbers remotely.
C would really need some serious overhaul as it still can’t be used to implement even the most basics of zero-cost abstractions, like sane strings or a vector. So I’m not sure it’s a great example.
...and instead of USB 5.0, we have USB 4, version 2.0, probably so they can snicker when we realize it's USB 420...

Of course, it started out as:

a) grow plants that humans can eat on soil that will grow them, eat plants.

b) grow plants that humans can't eat, but livestock can, on shit soil that won't support plants that human can eaa, eat the animal.

and in countries that look at the US and go "wow that's fucking barbaric" at their treatment of livestock is generally still the case.
Ask HN: How can technical folks break into SaaS sales?
Those in tech on the build-side (engineering, devops, data, design, PM), how can one break into SaaS sales as a side hustle?

As someone who procures SaaS solutions for my company, I interact with SaaS salespeople all the time. Most don’t have a similar background to us build-siders, and whoever that does, I’m way more inclined to purchase from. So I can’t help but wonder to myself…

“I’m more in-the-know than these people, and I have the personality and hustle to match, but I don’t want to make sales my career, but if all it takes is getting on some calls every week to close deals, why can’t I do this on the side for some extra cash?”

Note: This isn't about the rank-and-file at the top of the funnel who cold-call for hours, but rather more senior people who are brought in toward the middle or end of the funnel, once a deal is further along.
This might warrant a (2014) tag in the title.
It's even mandatory by law for online purchases in EU to have this second factor on online payments.
Lots of people worried about Bitwarden. Where are the people worried about PSG? As passkeys gain adoption, fewer people will need a password manager, and PSG is going to have a hard time getting their money back.
The US population values convenience over security. Honestly, I'm in that boat. Our CC processes -> Merchants -> Customers probably end up eating the fees somehow, but being able to just insert a card and bounce keeps the machine running.

I assume fraud is minimal enough that the profit of convenience outweighs it.
>You gotta admire the Chinese bureaucracy for not using kid's gloves when dealing with a problem

Do you feel the same way when the "problem" is "people who want a say in government" or "student activists" or "Uyghurs" and "dealing" with it involves genocide? It's true that authoritarian countries can act decisively on real problems sometimes, when their own private politics align. But they far more regularly act "decisively" to make things worse, to crush freedoms, to cover up their own corruption, etc. It's not particularly admirable that once in a while they have good issues too.

3DS delegates the second factor authentication to the card emitter (your bank): the 3DS interface is really just an iframe provided by the bank.

One of my banks embeds their login form, which asks for a portion of your login credentials (probably secure enough in recent browsers, but still a bit yucky). My other bank requires transactions to be approved in the account management interface (either via their mobile app or by logging into their website in another tab). Other banks use one-time-password generators for their website, and reuse that system as their second factor.
I have definitely seen the dealer enforce the “show one, show all” rule. I tried googling around after your last comment, but wasn’t able to find any reference to a player’s right to see a mucked hand. Instead, I found a lot of articles about whether it is better play to show or muck losing hands, which implies it is the person’s choice.

Do you have any reference for the rule that a folded hand has to be shown on demand if play is over?
There are cases where you have to care, e.g. the difference between AsSingleQuery() and AsSplitQuery() in EF Core. This option only affects what kind of queries EF Core will create to perform the same job, but it can have pretty significant implications on performance in some cases, and it can affect the consistency guarantees you get for your results.
I saw a video about that.

The question I want to know is how much of this is "bad" corruption (worse than you would find in a 350 million population relatively free democracy/republic) and how much of this is sausage making. Was there any reasonable way for this to go well, given the realities of living in a complex democracy where we don't agree on how it should have gone? Is it inevitable that societal trust breaks down just because societies are complex things? So far, I've been losing more sleep over the people losing trust than the people breaking trust.

Thank you for using 1Password!

A full rewrite takes a lot of time. We did this twice in the past and it is always painful. We had to do it again this time because the discrepancies between the platforms became ridiculous and we had to fix this. For example, the same search would produce different results on Mac and Windows and Android.

We also took time to address some of the pain points that existed in 1Password 7. For example, it was technically possible to have a different Master Password on your Mac and iPhone, etc.

The local database was rewritten and we made sure that everything that is possible is fully encrypted. For example, all rich icons are now stored encrypted. We also changed the logging system to make sure no personal information is ever logged. At the same time, we had to make sure the data format is backwards compatible with the old version so that both 1Password 8 and 1Password 7 can be used during the transition.

We ran over 100 studies with both existing users and people who never tried 1Password before to make sure the apps are more usable by everyone.

For new users we added New Item experience that made it easier to navigate through templates and understand how to use 1Password. For developers, we added CLI integration, support for SSH keys, and a built-in SSH agent that secures your ssh private keys.

Brand new Linux app, more than 100 new features and improvements overall, on top of the full rewrite.

Fear of having integrity issues raised is NOT the reason not to use Foreign Keys. Performance at scale is. Foreign key constraint checks can be costly on write intensive applications with many tens of thousands of QPS.
The "all claims are facts unless proven otherwise" is a wrong way to think about. You must prove a claim, not the other way around. What is perhaps better to say is that he makes no arguments but just lists observations (nitpick: therefore can be no such thing as rebuttal). As the commentary tweets don't call them wrong, we can assume they're indeed correct (thus nothing was debunked). That said, I'ld have preferred if he had correct citations such as the link to the Nature article.
I am told this is very specifically a default setting in the app that makes the minimum connections something like 100 or so. If you crank that down to 5 to 20 it goes much faster. YMMV.
1)Most land used for animals is not suitable for development.

2)most water used is captured rain water

3)lots of feed is byproduct

4)These animals provide fertilizer and natural tilling of the ground

5) the carbon footprint of raising cattle or other animals is infinitesimally small.

Practices that make it more environmentally friendly (ie no giant feces and urine ponds) could be either mandated or encouraged.

Animals are used more for just meat. Hide is used for products. Poop is used for fertilizer. Pig urine is used to reduce carbon emissions in 18 wheelers. Etc etc

Trying to remove a major food staple is idiotic. There could be ramifications that are not known to us for doing this. Just like people trying to get rid of mosquitoes. We don’t have the entire ecosystem mapped out where we can make these changes without consequence.

I'm vegetarian, I like the taste of meat, I hate the taste of these "fake" meats and I'd much rather eat veggies

I really don't see the point of these, they barely taste as good as the cheapest frozen meat patty you can find. It's almost like cardboard patties with a hint of burned meat taste, and it costs as much if not more than meat in most restaurants.
I disagree, I hope that lableak confirmation will push for a reassessment on the risk reward ratios for research. It may slow down scientific process, but we can now see that the dangers, if catastrophic enough, even if minimal, may not warrant it.
Right, and fitted N95s are not safe for prolonged wear.

There are exactly zero RCTs that suggest that masks are effective, the parent comment is correct. The single RCT that claims effectiveness was on hamsters.

Completely missing from pro-mask discourse is potential impact of large-scale masking on children. Developmental delays are starting to pop up, and previous public health advocates for masking are starting to turn course.
> not a monolith
> I highly doubt any of them

Do you see the problem with your reasoning here?

If you say scientists are not a monolith, then you don’t get to make sweeping generalizations about them.

It's a ridiculous and easily dismissible statement at first, but not so ridiculous if it becomes commonplace/familiar/canon (it worked for internet explorer!)
The problem with your argument and anyone else's argument that alleges grand conspiracy among scientists is that you always take a US centric view and pretend the US is the only place in the world with scientists.

Scientists like many other individuals are divided by country. There are many countries out there that would love to do nothing but prove that this was a lab leak so that they could take a swing at China. All of that information is accessible and public.

In order for grand corruption theory to make sense you would need to posit some way not only for the US to suppress this information perfectly but also control every single other countries scientific research.
Mostly incorrect take. Two points for your consideration:

1. All European countries tax gasoline far more heavily than the US, usually to the tune of 100-200% of the wholesale price. That is an intentional policy to lower gasoline consumption, governments could easily remove it if they wished for more energy consumption.

2. Not all European countries are "poorer" than the US even by a GDP measure. Norway which is a petrostate has about half the energy consumption of the US (measured by per capita carbon emissions), Switzerland about a quarter! If anything richer countries in Europe are better than the poorer Eastern neighbour as well as better than the US in minimizing energy waste -- better-insulated housing, better rail and subway networks.

Luckily, before that happens, humans will have killed themselves off and turned the planet into Venus 2.0. That way, the rogue planet doesn't have to feel guilty of wiping out an advanced species.

Fake meats seem to get a market on very the environmentally conscious and vegetarians but I don't think it'll hit big. Beyond the marketing appeal to normal consumers of "eww processed fake meat", the reality is that it's all very gross. I have given them a college try and they are not a good replacement for meat and wouldn't willingly eat them again and most people I have talked to feel the same about it.

I am much more bullish on lab grown meat which produces actual meat and merely removes the animal as an incubator. If we can get the process of turning some plant matter into actual meat that will be the golden ticket, and people will actually buy this since its actually meat.

USB has a non-trivial CPU overhead compared to PCIe.
I don't even hate systemd but like it, will distro maintainers opt to support "systemd pam" alongside old pam or will they discard it? I use systemd more than when I don't but only because it was forced. I can't use devuan and gentoo everywhere. That's why I prefer fixing/updating pam with a backward compatible replacement so maintenance burden is minimized and everyone is happy.

The problem is, lennart and the systemd folks are not happy with systemd being popular, they want to decimate any competition.
Agreed! I always thinking of driving, specifically roads and fuel in the US. They absorb huge amounts of money, we rarely see the true cost.

I've always wondered how this is supposed to work. It seems like it would cause a drop in the population for the 2nd generation, but then the population would bounce back afterwards because the gene edited mosquitos would have died off. Is the plan to continuously release them into the wild to persist the number of offspring being born that can't produce offspring?
USB3, USB-C is no answer.

Back when the USB1 spec came out it said you could plug 127 devices into a port through a hierarchy of hubs.

With three different laptops and a plethora of USB 3 hubs I found the system would support only a limited number of devices in the tree. If you plugged in too many devices (somewhere between 3 and 5), plugging in an new device would cause an existing device to drop out. It's just annoying if it is a keyboard or mouse that gets dropped out but if it is a storage device data could get corrupted.

I looked at the USB 3 spec and couldn't find any guarantee that there was any number of devices you could plug into hubs and have it work.
Now that every single damn service out there is costing me a cup of coffee every month, I end up paying a couple of coffee jugs a month. Are we seriously going to shame customers for trying to cut some costs in this economic context?

As a customer, what I can do is compare with the competition. Padloc is more expensive than basically every other option out there. And as far as we can tell, Bitwarden was already running privately before this VC round (which seems aimed at expanding their offerings past password management) which doesn't seem to point to it being unprofitable at its current price point.
One thing to remember is that most Apple ][ software barely had source code as we would understand it today, as most code was written in 6502 assembly language rather than in a high level language (compilers at the time took too much memory and generated poor code anyway). So even if you had access to the original source pretty much the only advantage over using a disassembly would be that there might be a handful of comments.
Yes, pitot tubes have been supported for a long time by all of the "mainstream" flight control software (PX4, Ardupilot, iNav although in iNav it doesn't do much besides provide an on screen display readout). Both analog and digital (I2C) pressure transducers are generally supported by direct interface to either an ADC pin or the I2C bus, which is exposed on most boards, even those designed for quadcopters.

Many Ardupilot and PX4 boards are starting to come with CAN ports as well for UAVCAN peripherals.

No one is ever free of consequences with respect to free speech. I can march around a college town with a tiki torch yelling racist bullshit, and if I make the news and get fired, that's just how it goes. Don't say anything on twitter you wouldn't otherwise say in public to strangers.

Even just looking at this article, switching from beef (and lamb) to pork would already help a lot.
This is actually roughly what they're doing:

- They have a hosted/managed version with a free tier and a paid tier. Paid adds things like MFA and support for orgs. The more you pay, the enterprisey-er the org support gets.

- There's also a self-hosted version which follows a very similar scheme. You can start out for free, but if you want things like MFA or a self-hosted org, you're paying the Warden.
FFS, changing password manager is a pain in the ass. I've already migrated from 1Password, now I have to do it again?
