> Fundamentally, we were hoping to encourage the deployment of Tailscale to end devices (partially to increase users' security, partially to get a better idea of how widely Tailscale is actually being used).

that makes sense, I also got the feeling that's the recommended way to run tailscale, and it's nice to be able to address services directly by their dns name

> Would you mind describing some of the other use cases you have for subnet routers? Do you have other mini k8s clusters you want to use them for? Other things? I'd love to learn more.

Yes that's mainly it. I am probably an edge case because I have mini k8s clusters for different things. I have 2 main networks: My network at home, then my main k8s for my personal cloud stuff, those 2 are pretty constant (but want to spin up a separate IoT network soon that may or may not need a router). Then depending on what I work on, I might spin up other k8s clusters

(I'm one of those odballs that really enjoys working with k8s for personal stuff)

I think for me it's mainly to have piece of mind to not run into limitations later on, after I'm already locked in and need to rip-out tailscale to replace with ZeroTier
I was looking into a townhouse at one point. We figured we should just go with a house though, all things considered.

Looks interesting:

> "The evidence we find is independent of other genomic evidence suggestive of a lab origin of SARS-CoV-2, such as the furin cleavage site (FCS) found in SARS-CoV-2 yet missing from all other known sarbecoviruses. However, the BsaI sites in SARS-COV-2 flank the S1 gene and S1/S2 junction, and a similar design has been used before for substitutions in this region. The restriction map alone also does not indicate the lab of origin."
Depends where you go in Switzerland, my understanding is that the country is sort of divided into two parts depending on language. Same as in Belgium.
This was actually a pretty good article.

What in the world...? Is this a serious paper?
I can easily agree that Mac's touchpad is nice, as many other pieces of its hardware. MacOS however is not as good as it used to be (comparatively), because other OSes advanced significantly while retaining better configurability.

Btw, any touchpad should be used for a limited time, say in travel conditions. If you use it so much it became a decisive factor of choice - you are voluntarily marching towards RSI.
For anyone doing color critical work a $100 calibrator should be a desk accessory.

Even the factory calibration on every single Mac in my house (there are several, including a brand new M1 Air) has been notably off until calibrated.

The unfortunate thing about the iPads is that though they cover the DCI-P3 space there is no way to calibrate them. My Pro is significantly off my calibrated iMac and Air.
It feels odd to me that you call you that buyers often prefer subscriptions because of their ability to spread out costs over the life of a product, after starting out claiming that this is a “great step”.

If a company wants to sell me a car where the power windows are a $10/mo subscription, that’s a crappy idea and I’m not going to buy a car, but I don’t think trying to sell it should be illegal.
Just keep interviewing, in May my interview counter hit 50 for the year, and 6 interviews later I ended up with a job. I just saw every interview as a opportunity to get better at the process. If a leetcode style interview was mentioned, I would decline.
No thanks, I've lived in the DMV and it's worse than SF.

Reading this headline I thought to myself, this can't be possible. But then I remembered I got two packages stolen in two different neighborhood of the city, and during NYE someone broke the door of the backyard to probably see what they could steal there.
I've tried to use Resolve (on other platforms). I am quite competent in, for instance, ScreenFlow for the mac. Works great for regular video editing (not just screen capture stuff), and while there is a lot to learn, it is quite intuitive. Unfortunatley my mac is old and I need windows for work, so I thought Resolve would come to the rescue.

But I just can't wrap my head around the Resolve workflow. To do really basic stuff it seems to have a huge learning curve. I have no doubt it is powerful, but there is a point where I just can't justify the time to learn it. (I use a lot of video in my job as well as hobby/family stuff, but I'm not a professional video editor per se)

Is this anyone else's experience? Is it really only targeted at professionals? I was very excited to see that they are giving away such a sophisticated product for free, but man....
> when you scanned a normal barcode it just spit it out as if you had typed the number on your keyboard.

Many barcode readers work like that, it's called something along "keyboard emulation". Back in the day I wrote a Clipper program for a bookstore whose #1 need was to be able to scan ISBN barcodes of books being bought and sold as quick as possible during that short period before or after summer when they sell new school books editions, and customers wait in long lines outside. The clerk couldn't waste a single second pushing this or that button to tell the software "this comes from the keyboard" or "this from the reader", so I programmed the reader to precede any code being read by a non printable sequence that couldn't have been written on the keyboard but the software would recognize as "what follows must be a barcode". By doing so, adding or removing books to/from the inventory was just a matter of scanning the book code, which would trigger a search function on the database, and pressing the relevant function key (add, remove, sell, order, etc).

(This ran on two networked 486s that managed a 90k+ record database with multiple and composite indexes like a breeze. Good ol' times...)
> By contrast Apple today is locking down their platform and explicitly decreeing that nobody is permitted to compete with them.

Microsoft got in trouble for anti-competitive practices with IE, because they were tightly integrating their OS with their browser in ways that meant that their browser was uniquely enabled by the OS to do things that third-party browsers couldn't do (not having access to the same APIs), thus using their position in the OS market to steal browser market-share away from third-party browser companies like Netscape, in ways those browser companies could do nothing to respond to.

In contrast, on iOS, there's nothing Safari can do that third-party browsers can't. Third-party browsers do exactly the same things Safari does, rendering-engine-wise — no more, no less. And meanwhile, they all do more than Safari does UI-wise. There's nothing Apple is doing to bias users of iOS in favor of Mobile Safari, such that it steals market-share away from competing browsers. Instead, their OS is just ruining the browser experience for everybody, equally. That's not anti-competitive — it's just dumb. :)
On the contrary, I don't think it's the economy... it's your last paragraph. People just don't feel very encouraged to have children in such a toxic culture

It's not a silly question. If they can't win on their merits then they deserve to loose. That's what democracy is.

Also, notice how I said political parties and not an urban coalition: these are not the same, and their needs are different. There are rural democratic voices, and they do engage in these issues, but the wider party does not seem as interested in this. And that's why they will continue to loose rural voters in the house this November. They don't care as much to spend the time and resources on these campaigns, and this whole fight against the electoral college and how seats are dived up among states is a ruse to further consolidate power while abdicating accountability on a national level.

Also, when democrats spend money on an extreme opponent campaign (which is diabolical) to make their own party look better, people see through that. It's just sick and could severely backfire on everyone. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/interactive/2022/dem...
You could probably get even better walk-able integration by connecting together multiple floors worth of hallways, one above the other. That could approach a 3D city a little bit more.

Isn’t Baltimore one of the most violent cities in the United States?
On iOS, yes. My understanding is that Apple forbids installing full Safari alternatives on iOS. On iOS the only permitted browsers are Safari reskins that use the Safari webkit. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox_for_iOS

If I'm misinformed please let me know.

This greatly impacts ALL web development. Many people use iOS, and Apple prevents the installation of real alternative browsers. As a result, it's typically financial suicide for any web developer to use a client-side feature not currently supported by iOS Safari.
It's just part and parcel of living in a big city.

Safari's priorities are different from Chrome's.

Google is effectively shipping a cross-platform “metaplatform”, for which the browser is the trojan horse. Apple is shipping a web browser that only runs on its OS and hardware.

So Webkit is slow or unwilling to implement features that may hinder battery life, user privacy or that simply have better native alternatives. Webkit is actually on the forefront when it comes to CSS features, like the recent has() selector, or JS memory usage and overall page speed.

What I think is a fair criticism is that Safari is generally tied to the OS and gets outdated when the user is unable to upgrade the OS (or oblivious). Evergreen browsers are a revolutionaty concept, not without its drawbacks, but all in all, were very positive to the web.
Arrows – a small experimental puzzle game
Look through time. Revenue growth has been solid. Ad market is a little wonky right now. FB gets over $30 per user per year, Snap at $10. Within 24 months could go up to $15, could be 500m users, 7.5 bill of revenue and they could easily reign in that cost structure and make a couple bill of net income.
Updated so that now all viruses both past and present are of synthetic origin. Thanks!
Fair, I suppose you didn't specifically accuse me any more than I specifically proposed arresting wrongthinkers. :)
I'm surprised this isn't a basic knowledge at this point.
Or, it's a misstep that can and probably will be corrected. there's a lot of things the EU gets right in the privacy domain. I don't really think this is likely to cause more exits; look what a complete shitshow the UK is at present, and reflect on the fact that their freshly 'liberated' government has been in a rush to introduce or increase all sorts of draconian laws now that it's no longer constrained by the EU's human rights framework.
Most cities don't have or need a shit tracker app. Just sayin it's progressive.
Because there are two cities: One of the ultra-rich and one for every one else. If you take your Maserati or Model X from your garage to an underground parking lot with a security guard, you don't care that there are thefts happening on the streets. Similar reasoning applies for every other issue people complain about. Don't like open-air markets for selling stolen goods in the Mission District? Simply don't go there. Out of sight, out of mind.
Thank you. I laughed out loud when I read this part: <<I priced out some relatively minor kitchen/bathroom renovation work in 2018 at around $100k. Put it off during covid times, and today the quote for the same work is well over $300k.>>

In many parts of the United States, you can buy a whole house for $300k.

What's changed are expectations. 50 years ago, as long as you could get a job at a warehouse or restaurant, people would have 1 or 2 children without severe economic anxiety, even if they couldn't afford a house. Today, anxiety is through the roof even among professionals and other high earners whose finances look downright unfathomable to half the population from 50 years ago. If your only prospects are working at a warehouse or restaurant, this makes you all but destitute, and according to the calculus of modern popular culture it would be irresponsible to bear and raise children.

Objectively speaking, it's easier today for even the poorest of households to raise well-educated and healthy children. Traditionally, shelter, food, clothing, and then in the 20th century, education, were all that mattered. In 21st century America, access to all of those things is basically guaranteed, especially for people with children. (Yes, there are people who are unable to navigate the system and fall through the cracks. But those things are available. The people who fall through the cracks today would have had a much worse time of things 50+ years ago, notwithstanding that public programs cannot fully replace the more extensive family relationships that were once more common.)

But because the scope of peer group identification has expanded both geographically (basically, the entire country) and across socio-economic strata, now all of a sudden people are comparing their situation within a much more diverse context that includes many people far wealthier than themselves. And the emphasis has shifted. It's no longer about shelter, food, clothing, and formal education; it's about one's ability to spend quality time with the kids, to afford private schools or exclusive public school districts, tutoring, extracurriculars, etc. The goal posts have shifted.
I mean you can “remove” it. It won’t show on your home screen anymore.

But under the covers the code that does all the heavy lifting will be the Safari code. Firefox on iOS will get new features when we Safari does, because that’s how (it’s forced) to work.

Don’t worry about the last part of my comment. I’m happy to explain this, I’m just tired of the debates of “policy X is an antitrust issue.” Or “They’re doing it to kill PWAs.” Or “The JIT rule is just an excuse.”

The debate has existed since iOS 2.0 in 2008. So 14 years of roughly the same arguments. And I’m just tired that it’s impossible to talk about Safari or iOS or Apple without the exact same argument happening. Like elsewhere in these comments.

That’s the discussion I don’t want to have. Your question is totally fair.
Boston is also pretty walkable, but I agree that there aren't a lot of options in the US.
Apple makes other browsers on iOS use the safari engine under the surface. So the core functionality you're seeing of, e.g. rendering the webpage and video codec support is just safari. Chrome/FFox are just sugar around the safari engine, they won't allow other engines
I used to go for walks around my SF apartment in the Tenderloin. To keep myself entertained, I'd count the number of poops I saw on the sidewalk.
There's a line in this paper which has been cited a few times in this thread which really stands out to me:

> 100,000 random in silico mutants were generated for both RaTG13 and BANAl-20-52...Only 1.2% of RaTG13 mutants resulted in a BsaI/BsmBI restriction map with a larger z-score than SARS-CoV-2. BANAL52 is the closer relative to SARS-CoV-2 by over 200 nucleotides, yet only 0.1% of mutants yielded z-scores as great or greater than SARS-CoV-2

1.2% of 100,000 is a weird way to express an occurrence rate. Because 1.2% is a little over 1 in 100. Which means from random perturbation they generated almost 1,200 candidates which would also match their conclusions. The 0.1% mutant number would still be about 100, by sheer random chance.

They also don't support this argument with any reference to the observed mutation rates of any of their candidates in the environment. How often, in nature, do we expect a new mutation to arise? They claim to use data for nucleotide substitution frequencies, so they're addressing the fact that mutation is a process with a temporal component, but not what the time span is.

If 1 in 100 commercial jetliners crashed every year, we'd regard that as so common as to make commercial aviation unsafe.

They then conclude:

> It’s unlikely such an idealized reverse genetic system would evolve by chance
from the close relatives of SARS-CoV-2

From 1 in 100 occurrence rates? Of a virus?

Now we do in fact have data on how frequently viral mutation happens. During cell cultures it appears to be about at a rate of 9e-7 substitutions per nucleotide per replication cycle of 12 hours for RaTG13 (reproduced from culture in animal tissue too[2]). With a ~29,800 BP genome, that means 0.02 nucleotide substitutions on average per replication cycle. So about 25 days for a single virus strain, serially replicating, to substitute 1 base pair.

Of course, this is all ignoring the fact that viral mutation is highly parallel - which they also do not mention in reference to this conclusion. How many mutations are necessary to generate a z-score match which would fool their detection method? 1, 2, 10? How many potential restriction enzyme cleavage sites exist which would become cleavage sites by a single base-pair flip? What's the dynamic addition/removal rate of restriction enzyme sites expected to be? We have per nucleotide estimates for this for RaTG13, so it's also not an independent variable: to achieve the distribution of cleavage sites they propose, what is the mean-number of mutations for it to happen in the 1 in 100 candidates which achieved it? A virus doesn't explore it's mutation space serially, it explores it in a massively parallel way every single replication cycle.

This paper leads with some very specific claims, is based purely on simulation, and fails to ask obvious control questions based on it's own methods.

It's exhausting just reading this, let alone doing it with multiple companies.

Chicago is definitely one of the most walkable cities in the US. Not really walkable compared to a European city though.
I would assume it would also reduce the number of users.

Also, why would it reduce the moderation workload?
Fake accounts on platforms raise internal metrics of usage & activity, which practically creates an anti-incentive for the parent company to remove them. One can imagine fictional scenarios that wouldn't pass a basic litmus test yet make an otherwise meaningless number go up that for some reason pleases the investors solely because it's higher than the previous quarter's number. I'd move my profile over to ShlinkedIn if given the choice.

"Wow, according to LinkedIn, over 8 billion people work at FacAmAppNeGoog! That company must be doing very well to be able to pay all those employees; let me update my important financial model based on this non-audited number. Nevermind that only 100,000 worked there a few months ago, this is fastest growing company in history! Here are 5 ways to replicate their success from the comfort of your broom closet:"
I'm sure it would be more expensive if they did.
> Would AWS be any better?

Snap uses AWS [1].

It was a tongue-in-cheek reference to their massive cloud bill. In a money-losing company with moderate growth, outsized infrastructure costs relative to revenue imply little moderation of the former in connection with the latter.

Nobody cares about Chromebooks. They only matter in schools and they're almost certainly illegal in schools, so that will self-solve when those charges get addressed.
Even if this were true, we still need to understand what caused such a shift.

Hence "unless you use one of the integer storage options". I suspect many don't because the values being directly human readable could be useful.
What is the rate for other big cities? Is this a lot higher than usual, or only a little higher?

The thing is that people steal things everywhere. Bikes. Cigarette lighters. Money left out. Scam items off Amazon or eBay is a form of theft. Your beer at parties. Lawn gnomes.

I don’t know many people anywhere who haven’t had something stolen from them at some point, so I’m not sure what this is saying
I think the biggest difficulty most people encounter with nix is if they need to run something which doesn't have a nix package already.

As soon as you step off a 'happy path' with Nix, you very quickly hit a lot of "you need to know what you're doing". That might involve understanding understanding how the program you want to run is built, the idiosyncrasies of how NixOS is arranged, understanding how the Nix packaging code is organised, etc.
A lot of unbelievable stats in this article. "only 12% of residents say that racism does not make solving problems more difficult." That's an odd finding to me. SF has always struck me as very progressive, but now I'm seeing that a large majority of the city thinks the city has a racism problem.
Baltimore isn't a place to move to if the motivation is to avoid crime.
