when the covid-19 pandemic came into real force (May?) I definitely saw a sample report from MAPBOX that showed aggregate consumer movement in the New England area, with extensive, quantitative classification on visits to retail, restaurant and public sites like schools. The visual was each and every individual track, but as lines of the same color. So the data on each individual track was there, but not named in the report. There were hundreds of thousands of input tracks, for some time range. The context was "were people violating lockdown, travelling to what destination" .. retail and restaurant were very prominent in the report.

No one is alleging collusion between Russia and Trump, so you are alluding to baseless conspiracy theories here.

Suggesting that American elections are insecure and have been tampered with is perpetuating The Big Lie conspiracy theory.

Tell HN: Google is deleting people's recorded TV shows from YouTube TV
Google just sent out this announcement about YouTube TV:

> We have been informed that G4TV is ceasing operations for all distributors. Starting November 9, 2022, the G4 channel will no longer be available on YouTube TV. You will also lose access to any previous Library recordings from this channel.

(emphasis mine)

Imagine if 20 years ago, whenever a TV channel went away, if they had sent goons to everyone's houses to rub magnets over everyone's VHS tapes of anything from that channel, to completely memoryhole it. How is this any different than that?
Why does that matter? If being stuck in the past, objectively is better than so be it. We should debate whether the idea has merit on its own, not whether society has moved on from it or not. There are a lot of things we've abandoned that were objectively good and replaced with inferior things.

I think people have different definitions of what "educated" means. The average social studies grad has zero grasp of basic economic concepts, but a lot of them feel confident comparing economic philosophies.
This is fantastic! My only nitpick would be that the `time` crate is now fully featured and can be a drop in replacement for `chrono`.

It also seems to be more actively maintained than `chrono`; i would recommend preferring `time` for new projects.

I came to the conclusion that some PO and data guy figured out that if instead of me seeing what I want and leaving they can hook me on some Youtube journey they'll make more money.

Our company matches what you describe to a T. We have some small web servers/services, but none under any significant load. No need to scale dynamically, yet we use Docker (with Swarm) on prem for like 3 worker nodes. So much complexity added because of FOMO and resume-padding.

Personal networks are a huge factor. My network? Pretty much tapped out of hiring leads soon after university. I got 2 applicants to apply over the last 15 years, and there was a decent hiring bonus. What sort of networks might these Indian managers and their subordinates have? Lots of eager, qualified applicants, especially from people still with family, friends or cultural connections in India. And these applicants have a sympathetic ear, who will not toss their application in the bin, who will in general be more familiar with visa and immigration rules regarding these applicants. And the manager gets first dibs in a tough yet still discriminatory market.

I use MacOS, iOS, Linux and Windows, and only one of the above has never shown me ads. At one point MacOS and iOS were on the list, but now like Microsoft they push their own services (apple news, appletv, icloud, etc) and also like Microsoft, inject low quality ads into their app store search results. Apple still seems a bit better vs MS on how in your face they are, but I would not be shocked to see Candy Crush(TM) pinned to my home screen one day.

Languages should allow for leading commas to enable the more uniform:

Depending on the rest of the language syntax, it could also be nice to have a markdown-style list syntax:

I'm sure you could do that but, thus far, it seems like algorithmic feeds are rejected wholesale by the fediverse communities.
Because if you "waste" a week writing something yourself, nice & lean, you'll be told you've fallen for NIH and probably YAGNI as well, and get your hand slapped. But if you introduce a 3,500-strong dependency tree that'll waste a person-month spread across the team, over a year, plus make the product perform worse and waste god-knows how many person years for your users, to do the same thing... nobody complains as long as whatever you imported has lots of github stars and (ideally) looks good on a résumé.

Repeat for several decisions and soon you have tens of thousands of deps.
Sadly, this was released in the shadow of them removing SMS integration. From my perspective they have really mixed up their priorities.
Great context, though from an end user's perspective it was clear why and just left hanging with "find a new SMS messaging". The integration made adoption/integrating new users easier by allowing some to have one messaging app with progressive security for contacts on Signal.

Probably not because I just spotted something from that link that I find even more interesting: On the radios in the upper-right, switch to "policy support". There was a very sudden shift in 2013, from consistently down to consistently up.

...and now that I think about it, I think that might actually explain it: The sudden drop in the late 2000s might be due to the great recession. They may have accidentally measured "why do I care?" instead of "is it happening?", and maybe it took until 2013 for peoples' lives to stabilize enough to care again.

Thank you, this will help me a lot. I'm playing around a bit with Rust and knowing which libraries are popular and therefore somewhat trustworthy and dependable is really important.

If it's not property, what is it?
Just a point about recursion. Recursion doesn't immediately imply that something gets smaller and smaller until it bottoms out (or never returns). Things can be self-referential without getting smaller. Code is data and data is code. Quines are a thing. Fixpoints and combinators are things.

I think we'll discover that the post-vax myocarditis and pericarditis were caused by pre-existing, latent COVID infections.

If you want to attempt this you should use jack and one of the real time jack network protocols. I had it working for an hour, but the setup is too complex for leave everything in place setup. Was cool when it worked. I might have played more but I discovered that I couldn't do a mixer in the one room and keep the sync. (I was trying to do live music with listening in the next room so latency was important and I couldn't add delay to cheat)

I wish someone would spend time making the above easy, jack has some neat abilities that are lacking in all the whole house systems i've seen. Or maybe I just want to do weird things?
I appreciate your optimism but it seems particularly naive.

Musk notably called someone he disagreed with a pedo guy solely because he was white and lived in Thailand and then paid a private detective 50k to try and prove his claim. He's spent the past few days doing similar and spreading falsities and generally posting in bad faith.

Or perhaps a dna encoded bootloader.
Yes, thank you that should work since both libs L1, L2 and main can all refer to Either<A, B>.

This parallels a similar solution to the nominal sum types I ended up making for Java (Either<A, B>, Option3<A, B, C>, etc) with these generic types in a common shared library and other libraries and consumers of both accessing the shared type.

One more question: In Rust is Either<A, B> type-erased, specializations generated, or something else?

Well, I suppose the ecosystem is moving [1], and now the ecosystem has moved to stories.

If you had asked your friends to get a Matrix client instead (eg. Element), at least you'd be able to move to a new client [2] if you didn't like the direction it moved in - and you'd still have your group chats and keep your contacts because it's federated.

Unfortunately you're now stuck with stories (or maybe crypto payments one day [3]) because Signal doesn't federate, and likely never will, and the amount of effort to ask your friends to move _again_ is just too big.

This is _exactly_ the argument I make when friends ask why Matrix over Signal. I'm exhausted of picking up and moving again.

Genuine question: what happens to the BTC?
If they liquidate - couldn't that cause the price to go to near zero?
> In October 2015, two independent studies showed that elephants have 20 copies of tumor suppressor gene TP53 in their genome, where humans and other mammals have only one.[17] Additional research showed 14 copies of the gene present in the DNA of preserved mammoths, but only one copy of the gene in the DNA of manatees and hyraxes, the elephant's closest living relatives.[18] The results suggest an evolutionary relationship between animal size and tumor suppression, as Peto had theorized.

Is it possible that the evolutionary relationship arises from the size relationship? Basically: if elephants' ancestors grew in size and started dying much more quickly and commonly from cancer, nature would select for individuals who just so happened (via their increased risk of mutation) to have more copies of genes like TP53.
But from a photography perspective, how does any of that matter?
My course was very much a "don't do bad things because there could be bad consequences" type of course without too much ambiguity as to what the right action was and definitely no reference to topics relevant to software engineering.

It was not a "why do good people end up performing unethical actions, and how you can prevent yourself from equivocating and rationalizing unethical actions as well" course.

At this point there isn't strong evidence that C is going to deliver better performance than C++ or Rust, especially for a given amount of work. One could argue that better code reuse (templates, generics, crates, etc.) allow programmers to write faster code in C++ or rust. For example you need barely any work to use a really good hash table in rust, one that's really tricky to rewrite by hand because it involves simd and whatnot.

I took an ethics course in undergrad (don't recall whether it was required, but I can't think of anyone in my major+year who didn't take it). This was before mobile apps as such, but we discussed (among other things) both spyware and use of what would come to be called "big data" in law enforcement.

The problem isn't that people need the right analogy. It's that they never really learned email. Right from the beginning, the commercial Internet has been trying to blackbox technology and present the "just works" button. So when email breaks because of federation issues, people shrug and say "well it worked for me (using the most centralized email systems)".

The amount of conceptual learning needed to understand the federation model is roughly similar to a complicated strategy game that needs a 15-minute tutorial. A motivated child can work it out; a stressed and distracted thirty-something will try to avoid it, or maybe mock it so as not to normalize its use.

I totally think it's possible to normalize federation since there are tons of conceptually difficult systems in daily life. Some of the burden of that rests on UX and onboarding. But far more of it is a case of, are people desperate enough to bother?

They would likely sell the BTC with an off-market auction. Given the amount, they might auction if off in segments.

Whoever is responsible for selling a government asset is likely responsible for getting a good price. So a BTC dump, in addition to harming the markets, would be a violation of that duty.
