This seems suggestive... isn't it likely that some of the contaminants they let slide were more combustible?

> On March 20, the US Food and Drug Administration announced that it was relaxing its regulations on hand sanitizer to “provide flexibility to help meet demand during this outbreak.” Those regulations, known as the Current Good Manufacturing Practices, had been in place since 1994 and included regularly updated rules on everything from record-keeping to product testing to packaging. The agency also paused the requirement under the Federal Food Drug & Cosmetics Act that sanitizer be sourced from pharmaceutical-grade ethanol, which is free of industrial toxins that are commonly found in fuel-grade ethanol. Businesses were still expected to test their sanitizers for benzene and other toxic compounds, but essentially on an honor system. The FDA noted that it did “not intend to take action against firms” for violations during the public health emergency.

> [...]

> By mid-June the FDA had received so many complaints that it started compiling an online list of “hand sanitizers consumers should not use.” Because the agency does not have recall authority for over-the-counter drugs, the offending companies themselves were expected to pull products marked as unsafe. Consumers had to go out of their way to find the list and stay up to date as it got longer and longer. By the end of that first pandemic summer, nearly 200 types of sanitizer appeared on the list.

> ArtNaturals was, at that point, not on the list. Its sanitizer, labeled with a tasteful, millennial-friendly design that said it was vegan and infused with jojoba oil, was marketed as “safe for kids” and “a great bulk hand sanitizer pack for parents and teachers.” At least two school districts on the West Coast had purchased the sanitizer to distribute to students, in addition to two Ivy League universities. Then, in March 2021, a year into sales, an independent lab in Connecticut called Valisure announced that it had found benzene in the company’s sanitizer. Benzene, a widely used industrial chemical derived from petroleum, can be absorbed through the skin and is known to be a risk factor for leukemia.

Then again, intentional destruction is certainly a possibility too.
The thing with art history is it isn't made up ex post facto.

Throughout art history, at different levels of abstraction (individuals, schools, countries, philosophies), there is a constant and real conversation going on. A big part of art history (like any history) is finding out what that was at the time. Along with analyzing things ex post facto and coming up with ideas and narratives given our knowledge of all history.
I believe this is equivalent to Intel SGX. Having this open source is encouraging.
Fine. 30% is a big walkback from the original framing. Clearly the topics in this thread are more of a "university" thing than "private vs public" thing.
> These are also great fig leaf talking points when your real reason to oppose new development is financial, but you don't want to sound greedy.

You could make the exact opposite claim that "my property values!!" is the fig leaf around "I don't want [certain people] to have the chance to move near me."

And that one agrees with the numbers of how property values go up with city growth and development, not down. Would the property values in Malibu be lower or higher if LA had taken Detroit's path?
The wavelength is very important too. 808nm is damaging to the eyes for example, but has wound healing properties when applied directly to injuries[1]. This kind of stuff is a great example of the vast trove of interesting research that nobody outside the alt health world will ever do much with.

I snagged one of those as soon as they were available. And, so far, I've only used it to host my portfolio, which is entirely static. :D
> Certifications are a poor replacement for a degree [...] HR also favors degrees [...] Since you don't have a degree/certs and we can't pay you what we would pay someone who is qualified

What a joke, I see it all the time. The worst part is that by the time this happens it's too late to do anything about it. What are you going to do? Let me get my 5 year degree real quick, brb. I'm almost 30, I can't go back to school and stop working.

I bet on work experience and self-learning as a substitution for paid education because I was dirt poor and it was the wrong bet, apparently. 10 years of work experience and I have little to show for it.

Good write up, than3, thank you for this.
At my last company, the VP got the largest discount from Oracle, so Oracle cloud it was.

Engineer attrition rose. Services took longer to build and maintain. Company's stock went down. Layoffs ensued.

But the VP got promoted to SVP.
Nice and quick, thank you! I was using teddit.net
> Treating unhoused persons as a homogenous population is probably the original sin of modern American homeless policy

It gives you some useful tricks, though. E.g. if somebody complains about the chronically homeless addicts assaulting people downtown? Why, you just point out that X% of "the homeless" are actually just regular non-addicted people temporarily down on their luck, who just need a free hotel room for a couple weeks.
it bugs me that they're not trying the passwords in lexigraphical order :-D

also, who has sshd without `PermitRootPassword=no`? they need to broaden their horizons and try `admin`, `ec2-user`, and `ubuntu` /s
"Better" as in better for social good? If that's what you're arguing your constructed scenario is just dumb.
We knew very early on that plain soap and water were very effective at killing coronavirus (and much, much more so than alcohol gel hand sanitizer). It was even official advice here in the UK to use soap and water instead of alcohol gel for hand washing if at all possible I think. Yet many people still seemed to think the exact opposite. They still have it alongside soap in my office bathrooms for example. It makes a very interesting social study.
This is cool... is it open source? :)
> developers need to be more vigilant with React code as

> articles on managing this complexity that every React developer should read

Here's the thing. You can do your best to spread how things ought to be done and what people should be doing. The majority of developers are not going to be vigilant, nor are they going to read these, nor does it occur to them that they're being suffering from its complexity. In a way it's similar to git - people use git because other people use git. It lets you get into difficult situations. The difference is that git also lets you get out quickly. Web codebases are not so forgiving, a lot of mistakes can be forever as it's costly to unwind.

I've encountered this a few times before realizing we were doing a lot better with Angular. It's not as popular, and its complexity does not grow as fast. Similarly for Vue as the author noted.

> but I do sense that there is a growing wave against the complexity brought forth by the current champs.

I certainly hope so, but I'm not seeing it. The industry seems to prefer the most complicated solution in different areas. k8s has won the orchestration mindshare and demonstrates a similar pattern of complexity and maintenance.
Read somewhere of an old lady who kept her eyes sharp by facing the sun with closed eyelids every day. Don’t remember the source, but I think it might even have been on HN. Anyone else?
I don't completely agree. From talking with them, a fair number of the homeless in SF are from Lake County and the Central Valley. Went to a shitty school with no job prospects. started on crank. ended up in SF because this is a place where a methhead can enjoy their lifestyle and get by.

The two things are fairly tightly connected. If ordinary citizens can't buy house, how does some other citizen (not corporation) buy one and offer it for rent to you?
Welcome to Mormonism - Publicly puritan values, virtue signaling, and in-secret porn fiends.

These are some of the lighter and less upsetting parts, without delving into the truly nasty and ugly bits like covering up an/or turning blind eyes to sexual abuse at the hands of Church authority figures (and parents). Officially, it's not acceptable. But in reality, on the other hand, it turns out it's uncomfortable to confront such matters. Easier to pretend everything is business as usual.
"residential proxy" is a very popular black market service, since it's less straightforward for website owners to block than other common vpn termination points. These applications market themselves as free VPN services, get loaded by special offers bolted onto legitimate software installers, or are added to trojanized pirate distributions of popular applications.

This seems like a good place to integrate an LLM - go above and beyond with lengthy, formal-sounding descriptions. Spot check the first few of them, because someone might read those, but after that they'll just be impressed at the work you're putting into your updates and never read them because they're long anyway.
Yes.
Self hosting for me can come because of a few different reasons:
- I want to ensure my data is safe
- I want to ensure uptime or performance
- I want to ensure continuity if the SaaS company disappears

Pricing matters of course. I get really ticked off at the overprice of many SaaS.
I don't think Google makes money from showing people news, much less search as a whole. Video ads are their bread and butter, along with non-Google adsense revenue and a few other sources. "Not paranoid enough to survive" is the wrong assessment.

It looks like Flatpak will be the recommended way to get / install LibreOffice:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterp...

Edit: In profwalkstr's Fedora link it states:

"the engineers doing that work will contribute some
fixes upstream to ensure LibreOffice works better as a Flatpak, which we expect to be the
way that most people consume LibreOffice in the long term."

I would not be surprised if more desktop applications also go to Flatpak on future versions of RHEL. It lets them focus on more enterprise-y features and improve overall security.

Some refactoring is at the block level, and so would generally not affect unit tests. But most refactoring is at a functional level, so only the integration and functional tests are ever safe, and even then sometimes not.
The statistic thrown around is something like “About 70 percent of people who are homeless became homeless while living in the Bay Area.” I’m not sure how to interpret this. I cant find the question they actually asked or how they collected people to survey.

Ah, good point, I'm probably biased toward the kind of "app" which users would need to be logged into like a SaaS product, but that's not universal.
Exactly. The logistics may not be simple (i.e. actually getting the federal government's support) but the logic should be obvious: piecemeal support results in the ones that are doing the most to help get "penalized" with more people seeking help.
I can't say whether it's sarcasm or not.
He already did the "it's a theme park" ending in MI2 and it was fine. Not tbh my favourite part, but fine in that context in that time. There was something about the new one which was appallingly "fuck you for still liking Monkey Island".
This parses as "I don't know what's wrong but I know it's the Democrats" which isn't exactly insightful nor helpful.
I'd be concerned about what happens when the wiring gets nicked up when the connections are being made.

It seems like if we want to achieve the goal you mention, we could switch over to 240v like much of the rest of the world.
I remember it differently. The medical community was crying out that we needed to take action, and the administration downplayed it and delayed. It was opposite, those that spoke up to do something were squashed in favor of those saying 'its just a cold, suck it up'. The government didn't do anything until private companies started realizing something had to be done, namely the NBA. Nothing was moving until the NBA cancelled the season, then suddenly it was taken more seriously.
I think this is a misleading description of the situation.

Yes, people were indoors in hotels, but in some cases the way these SIP hotels were run was bordering on extra-judicial solitary confinement.

> many of the the nearly 600 unhoused individuals in the Project Roomkey program were forced to remain confined in isolation. People were not allowed to leave the hotel unless they had a medical appointment or were being transported by a provider. They could not go for walks, exercise outdoors or do any of the things that health officials told the public to do for their mental health.

> “People started entering the motels in April and they were quarantined all the way through October,” Garrow continued. “People were having mental health breakdowns. People told me they were having suicidal thoughts.”

True.

And the resulting PTX is worse when it's generated from OpenCL C instead of CUDA C. I tested that recently with a toy FFT kernel and the CUDA pipeline produced a lot more efficient FMA instructions.
The judo move for that is to use that tendency for your benefit.

I think that's a perspective of people who compare Oracle Cloud IaaS offering to AWS, and find it deficient.

But I don't think that's the actual Oracle Cloud play, for the most part. To the best of my awareness, their cloud is realistically focused on hosted applications and SaaS - HCM Cloud, PeopleSoft Cloud, etc.

As such, their customers are not so much folks and small companies whose client-managed VMs may go down. Their customers are more likely to be large corporations whose Enterprise Resource Planning applications are fully hosted and may be impacted - Financials Management, Human Capital Management, Customer Relationships Management, etc.

I think for the most part Oracle Cloud does not have the same sales pitch and does not compete, for all practical sense, to AWS/Azure/GCP IaaS.

I could be wrong! There might be tons of clients who are renting bare VMs for Oracle! But to your point, I don't know why :P

You can't really be homeless in Finland during winter for very long though.
It's taught me to worry about people who happily volunteer for difficult tasks. I used to think they were troopers, now I see more and more of them as having a high pain tolerance, and I don't mean that as a compliment.

Pain in information and they throw away a lot. It's a form of job security, and not a particularly benign kind.

Our job is to replace painful processes with code. If you can't do that you aren't fulfilling the basic premise of your profession.

> > " However Bill wants to be remembered, he was not the brash, inventive hero of the revolution. His Windows origin story ignores what history proves: Apple was the leader and Microsoft was the follower"

Who cares? For those of us not personally involved in the beef, what matters is that somebody signs off the big technological leap for the masses.

If it was the guy with the funny hair and glasses instead of the bald guy with glasses, that's not important.

The big leap was signed off by Gates and Microsoft and they also signed off the other bigger leap which is allowing piracy across Microsoft's software portfolio.

Would Jobs and Apple have done the same? Maybe, maybe not, anecdotal indicia say they'd have not done the same given how impenetrable the iPhone is and how they keep everything close to their chest and how they force people to pay 1500$ for the privilege of using their phone. Then again you never know.
It's probably set to "Hold all comments for review" https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/9483359?hl=en#zipp...
And since they don't get called out, they won't get an idea. Unless the infection is retargeted against themselves.
> How does this 2 days old video with 167k views have zero comments, yet comments are enabled? I don't get it. It seems to be legit, unless https://www.youtube.com/@NASAgovVideo/about is a decade-old long con. (It doesn't seem to be, there are plenty of references to it from nasa.gov.)

It does look like there was a live chat associated with the video, so maybe that scratched the itch people had to comment?
The problem is that a link tax is all backwards.

For a physical anology, it's like if you have a new robotaxi company that drives to anywhere people want to go very cheaply/easily, and this hurts the operators of short-haul flights when people figure they'd rather sleep in a car for 3 hours rather than dealing with airports, so your response is to force the robotaxi company to pay the short-haul flight operators for every trip to the airport in a way that's unprofitable for the robotaxis. The obvious response from the robotaxi is to stop providing rides to/from the airport.

The appropriate way for the government to do this is to slap a general corporate tax on Facebook, and then subsidize news agencies out of general revenue, not this convoluted/backwards link tax approach.

With that level of money, you could hire lots of smart people to generate lots of ideas to solve the problem.

You could hire people to investigate the problem and provide data. And then you could use that money to implement small scale (locality level) experiments to see what works. And still have billions left over.

For some reason, the whole concept of "Do more of what works, and less of what doesn't" seems lost on the people involved.
I think the tricky thing with that scenario is doing this in a way that isn't just a fancy name for forced imprisonment, now that we're not only saying "you have to get off the street" but also shipping people to this new mega-complex.

It's not just an image problem either: let's say you kick the substances, get over some of the trauma from your time on the street, and want to get back into the world. Are the only local jobs "administration for the complex"? Is there no way to try to do something beyond that without having to travel a couple hundred miles and lose the support network and any social connections you'd made?
Svelte is still the best by just about every metric that matters. The consensus seems to be clear that once you get a real taste of the Svelte DX, everything else is a downgrade.

Portland OR - cold and wet winters (occasionally the temps drop low enough that the rain becomes snow and/or ice). Hot and dry summers. Very dry summers. Not a lick of rain. Spring and Fall are a mix between the two. Gradually the rains taper off in the spring. Gradually the rains pick up in the fall.

liberals (classical liberals who support capitalism and free markets) embracing corporations is neoliberalism. progressivism generally doesn't support ideas like small government or privatization or deregulation.

The church's motivation was precisely to spread Christendom to show the sophistication of the church. So it was very much a work of propaganda used to influence people outside just Italy, but across Europe.

This is not unique. The standard of old used to be Kings sponsoring bards. Both the bankers in Florence and the Church were in essence state actors. The banking families basically ran Florence.
