There are a lot of sectors where in-person presence is needed. See the list of "essential workforce", who were essentially allowed to avoid lockdowns: https://covid19.ca.gov/essential-workforce/

Also, some jobs were moved online during COVID (eg. teaching) but it is clearly demonstrated that they work better in person.

I feel like discussions around sex trafficking are weird.

By legal definition they facilitated sex trafficking. Perhaps they could argue they are better than Average Joe Pimp, but Average Joe Pimp is also going to say he was kinder or more fair than Average Bob Pimp.

It seems like everyone accepts face value numbers of sex trafficking when trying to make a point about how widespread the issue is - but then except most forms of it from being "bad" or "actual sex trafficking".

I don't know what the best solution is. Legalizing is seems like it would solve most of the current issues, but ultimately I don't know how you get around issues of coercion with defenders (and backpage) would probably still consider "consensual". In places around the world where sex work is legal, its hard to point to many examples where there are no issues involving coercion.
Aside from some flags needed for screen sharing, what problems have you faced? I've found chrome to run significantly better on Wayland than X11- the last time I tried chrome in X, the screen tearing during scrolling was almost nauseating.

I'll admit, though, that it might be OS dependent. For some reason, chrome+Wayland+debian was more trouble to get screen sharing working right than on arch. Maybe I've mostly gotten lucky?
> Are there any concrete examples of these markets being accurate

There are prediction markets for US elections, which tend to be pretty good. In general you should only expect markets with high liquidity to be very hard to beat, and the US elections have relatively low liquidity, so IIRC Nate Silver still outperforms them (but only by a small amount).

The reason you should expect high-liquidity markets to be hard to beat is that, if they were easy to beat, you could easily get rich by betting on them. So the common-sense idea of "there's no easy way to get rich" implies that they cannot be easy to beat.

The main exception to this principle is when there's a huge amount of money that intentionally places "bad" bets on the market, usually because they want to hedge against something. (e.g. I don't want this to happen, so I'll bet that it will happen, that way at least if it does happen I'll make some money.) This is why the TIPS spread, which can be interpreted as a prediction market for US inflation, consistently over-predicts inflation. Entities that stand to lose from high inflation use TIPS to hedge, which causes the TIPS spread to be too high. This could be corrected with better market design, but the treasury hasn't done that yet.
It's a form of self-harm at this point..?

I've realized this about security as well. Unless insurance companies demand higher premiums for choosing Azure, or Azure fails to get certain certifications, then all is well as far as decision-makers are concerned. And this is not even that irrational. Most security issues go unexploited for most companies. Caring about security is IMO a bad business move on average.
vnc into the guest isn't good enough, if the host's compromised it has the same vnc access you're using, defeats the whole point of all the physical isolation.

That was an already supported way of using the usbarmory from the host btw.

I'd be ok with a software-controlled KVM from the host to do the switching however.

But the guest machines need to be physically routed into the display/keyboard/mouse and physically switched. It's just about physically sharing the input/output hardware in a compact and secure fashion.
This gives me a fun hardware idea:

Make hardware keys that have the shape of real keys, and that you have to turn to engage the USB key.

The key shape isn't security, just a hint at what needs to plug where. You sell both keys and receptacles that can be put into a metal case or an otter box

Ask HN: Why don't email apps use AI to avoid sending to the wrong person?
Seems like most everyone has experienced this. We have the confirmation button, but that only helps a little, it eventually gets done without thinking.

AI could use some metrics to detect how likely it is that you have the correct sender. If you don't talk to them often, or if the list of topics discussed contains something new you haven't sent that person, it could display extra warnings.

It's simple enough that it could even be done purely with on-device local AI.

At the very least, the confirmation screen should always show a summary, with the profile pictures of all recipients, and thumbnails of any attachments.

I am more interested in the fact that it can be run locally than the uncensored aspect. The fact that it can be run for free locally should mean being able to use it as a dependency for libraries to leverage behind the scenes, right?
Usually superconductor resistance is measured using four probes: current goes through the two outer probes, and voltage is measured across the two inner probes. Then V=IR.

Lead resistance can play a role, but superconductivity is a phase transition: there's a significant discontinuity. It's not a matter of something going from 0 + e (for small e) to 0 (which doesn't happen), but one of going from x (x >>> 0) to 0. When that phase transition happens, it's obvious.
Google, Microsoft, and Apple are all evil in their own ways. Chrome OS is significantly more reliable than Windows, macOS, or desktop Linux and Chromebooks tend to be cheap (although Windows craptops are catching up).
The materials are easily on hand. That doesn’t guarantee it was easy to manufacture.

It’s not made of out of exotic elements, mostly just lead and copper. So in theory anyone can make it, but it’s just hard to do it correctly.

I don't think these authors intend for you to interpret their criticism of Audible's business practices as a statement about your moral character. One of their central points is that Audible's business practices have severely limited consumer choice in the audiobook market. You can't be held morally responsible for a choice that's been taken out of your hands.

Big ask. I am not in europe but last time I was there, pretty much all non-residential lighting predating the mid 2000s was flouro at scale.

Here in oz, its the same. One clothing store (Lowes) has the low rent "blue" and everywhere else the more warm yellow, I think Lowes does it to encourage the shopper to get the hell out after they buy whatever cheap work clothes they wanted. it will be amusing to see if they retrofit LEDs in the blue or warm colour space. Joke aside, its north of 90% of the city is on flouros.

The key phrase is retrofit LED lamps. The T5/T8 series is just ubiquitous.

Getting mercury out of the waste cycle (as well as the phosphor coatings, and the glass. So thin!) will be good.
To me, SSN is enough to personally identify. Additional information would be redundant for that purpose. Of course, if any information is misused, that’s illegal. And it’s not a lot of money for them to steal back, unless it’s about labor control. But again, that’s illegal.

In the US, what incorporates the existence of federal government power is that there is somebody to mandate it, and this is represented by capital/property/enforcement/vote. Those that are enfranchised with property (like money) are legally recognized as invested in upholding the agreement of union: then the law, and hence their stake, survives. You’re trusted to do business, run for office, make new laws, etc. You can make systems that persist or harden the fairness of a law.

By enfranchising people worldwide, you’re giving them a stake. Enforcement, however, is the hard part. Is this coin rigorous enough? Is it stable? What’s the jurisdiction?
Where do you see React doesn’t support web components?.. also many frameworks have wrappers around web components specifically for frameworks like Vue and React for things like passing other values than strings.
There’s nothing wrong with the concept of an insurance premium or even a deductible.

The problem is the sheer magnitude of the cost. It’s an extraordinary sum of money to be paying out of pocket as an annual family expense for a non-discretionary basic living expense.

And more or less every single family in the US is doing the same? It’s totally untenable.
Just because people are short-sellers doesn't mean they're not interested in the market.
We're talking about a specific subset of people working in Computer Science.

No one right in their head would claim that knowledge of 'only' HS math is insufficient when it comes to having a successful career in Front-End, Back-End, Ops, Cloud etc and many other positions pertaining to web technologies. I have no idea what people in this sector do but I'd highly doubt advanced math knowledge would even benefit their career considering they are remaining there.

However the fact that there are people on this very platform saying that those who say Linear Algebra mastery is "gatekeeping" to people aspiring to become Machine Learning engineers demonstrates, at the very least, poor critical thinking on their part about the inefficiency of self - learning math only through 'pleasant' means such as:

I will only watch this cool video with animations,laying on my bed, about this hard math concept instead of grabbing some paper and pencil and carefully study some high quality textbook. I need to built intuition ASAP !!!

I didn't ask for anything. I am just responding to your comment. You said:

> Almost every feature you charge for is something you can achieve for free inside of a basic VPS

I have plenty of experience with both Netlify and VMs, and I don't think they are even remotely comparable.

> You can search all of this yourself with all of one google query.

You're the one making the claims - I'm not even sure what I would be searching for since the parameters of a VM are vastly different to those for Netlify. How could I even find TTFB for a free Oracle VM? In fact, my personal experience with Oracle VMs (granted it's from before 2018) is that the jitter would be very high, such that any TTFB would probably be meaningless. And it would depend on the deployment region, too. Not to mention the HTTP server being used.

Words are cheap. Unless you're willing to substantiate your claims with some actual facts, nobody learns anything.
This is a conspiracy theory people like to spout when they want to seem like they really understand realpolitik, or because they just can't comprehend the US not having an ulterior motive behind everything, but all of the actual documentary evidence from the time says otherwise.

I don't think Apple sees themselves as _needing_ to shit or get off the pot. They made their opposition to customized built-ins, and their reasoning, known from the beginning, and Chrome and Firefox proceeded anyway.

From Apple's point-of-view they're probably waiting for someone to propose a solution that doesn't have the same perceived issues. They've been doing good work on declarative shadow DOM, selection, a11y, template instantiation, etc., in the mean time.

After the last Circle CI breach, we were all really annoyed about the way it was handled, IMO It was dishonest and lacked the required transparency for such a breech, we were all quite annoyed and ready to move on, but we've just plugged on using the product like nothing happened.

GitHub was similar, they published their freaking private keys accidently, which should raise some major red flags, we're all just going about our business with GitHub.

I was down voted hard and fast for my original comment but I'd like to see someone actually disprove my point. I've been in this game way too long to know that almost no security issue matters in the eyes of consumers so long as the company offers decent products and has a great marketing team.

I'm ideologically opposed to this lack of inaction and I think you're right, you'd need some type of financial disincentive to change people...

Social media itself is a type of privacy breech and people actually openly engage with it.
Yeah, it has changed. In 2019, they adopted a fee-per-booking model, in which the flat yearly fee is nominal (like, a hundred, not thousands) and providers pay ZD a fee (varies per speciality) per each new patient booking via the marketplace (i.e. not returning patients, and not patients who book via an embedded Zocdoc widget on the provider's site) The idea being, now they grow as providers' business grows, aligning incentives. There can be issues with that model as well, including the rules around no-shows.
No. Nearest neighbor, bilinear bicubic etc. is just encoding the same information in different ways.

You could add noise, or generate new details with an ai upscaler. That would create new information.
I'm sure it's expired, but I got a Forklift certification when I was in the Marines. Which is really bizarre since I was a glorified Forward Observer. But... you know... hang out at Camp Lejeune long enough and they'll teach you how to drive a forklift.

This discussion (not just your reply) wasn’t sitting right with me so I had to look into it a bit closer to get more clarity. While it’s true that the concept of innocent until proven guilty doesn’t exist in civil cases, it doesn’t appear that the opposite is generally true. The burden of proof is still on the plaintiff, though the bar is much lower than for criminal cases (which comes as no surprise).
Hmm, so you are saying, most of these providers listed on your site have no relationship with you? They don't know they are being listed?
For landscapes these are great. For action shots I’m a fan of the long-exposure-plus-flash approach where you get a sharp freeze frame overlaid on the motion blur showing the movement.

Mostly because it's the worst argument a person can make. You know you exist, so therefore they don't know what they're talking about.

In this case, it's basically saying "You have experienced all VR has to offer after you've tried it a few times. If you weren't impressed, I'm here to inform you that you won't ever be."

I used to call this the startup model vs the Apple model

A startup begins a project often by announcing that it has almost succeed. Some open source projects and crowdfunded projects with a lot of pomp also take this approach. It is great(?) for fundraising. It is interesting that Meta chooses this since they are not looking for funding, but maybe they are looking to cultivate the same panache/ethos. A way to market to prospective employees, more than end customers.

Apple denies that its even doing something until after it has succeeded. And even then it will announce it on its own terms. The Putin regime also follows this model (eg 2014 annexation of Crimea). It is great for denying competition time to catch up.
I feel like the overall point is fair (cattle do produce a lot more emissions than omnivores like myself would like to think) but ultimately I feel like reporting on this has been weird.

https://www.epa.gov/ghgemissions/sources-greenhouse-gas-emis...

https://ourworldindata.org/emissions-by-sector

The article asks why the average person does not list industrial meat production as a top 5 emitter of greenhouse gasses, but the sources above actually dont state it is not a top 5 emitter. The original article doesnt quote what they think the top 5 are.

I fully realize technocratic solutions will probably not ever be implemented, but really wish the emissions were just taxed at the same rate as other sources of emissions so I didnt have to make piecemeal decisions based on info thats impossible to know on a personal level.

Much as the profound utility of religion is diminished by the capital magnet and power hierarchy of the church, much the same for the difference between science and the institution of colleges.

- Methane emissions: Livestock, particularly ruminant animals like cows, produce methane as part of their digestive process. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, with a much higher global warming potential than carbon dioxide over a shorter time frame (84-87 times that of carbon dioxide over a 20-year period).

- Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions: N2O is released from manure management and the use of nitrogen-based fertilizers in feed crop production. N2O is another potent greenhouse gas with a significant impact on global warming (global warming potential of about 265-298 times that of CO2 over a 20-year period).

- Deforestation: Large-scale meat production often leads to deforestation to create space for grazing and growing animal feed crops. Trees play a vital role in sequestering carbon, and their removal results in additional carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere.

- Transport and processing: The meat industry involves transportation, refrigeration, and processing, which require energy and release additional greenhouse gases.

- Water and resource use: Raising animals for meat demands significant amounts of water and resources, contributing to the overall environmental footprint.

Animal agriculture is the leading driver of deforestation, biodiversity loss, eutrophication, oceanic dead zones in coastal areas, soil erosion, and more.

Abolishing animal agriculture would free up an area the size of Africa, enabling large-scale reforestation and rewilding. This would allow us to store our entire 1.5C carbon budget, thus reversing climate warming and biodiversity loss.

It would be interesting to see this concept extended into time-lapse video. The day/night segments of the video could shift to the right with the passage of time.
I don't care about battery life. By macbook is connected 99% of the time.

That said, I'm satisfied with Linux in VM. Especially with Rosetta. It's actually funny that I'd get degraded experience because of the lack of the Rosetta in native Linux.
I also don't know how you can differentiate "consensual" from "non-consensual" sex work.

1. They say "no im not exploited" because they are afraid

2. They say "no im not exploited" because they are not exploited

You gain no information from interviewing them. No vice unit has the resources to do a top secret clearance level check on them to confirm externally they are not exploited. To act like the two can simply be distinguished really is willfully ignoring the very real problem that you cannot verify the honesty of the person through any line of questioning. I suspect despite the foaming mouthed progressives claiming it's some puritanical hatred for women the reason for it still being illegal is because of this exact problem. There's no actual way to confirm this concept of "consent" in a legally rigid frame of reference because nearly every aspect of a sex workers job can be coerced.

EDIT: Somewhat hilarious I'm getting downvoted for an opinion. Groupthink HN truly the pinnacle of individualistic moral superiority.
