Putting aside that these claims are presented without any evidence, “most” of 50% of the US population is a minimum of 82M people. ~31M have contracted COVID so far. That we’re going to see almost 3x the number of cases, concentrated in hal

In a hypothetical world where our competent president and his competent staff made an occasional error, it would be reasonable to give the benefit of the doubt. This is one of three or four errors just in this address alone. An address that

Don't blame him, blame the incompetent people he hired?

That's a good broad description of both. I loved their previous game TRS-100, but Opus Magnum didn't really do it for me for whatever reason. I'm completely hooked on Into the Breach.

The sites aren’t linking to a tweet, they’re embedding them. There’s a difference of intent between a plain old <a> link to a tweet’s URL, and the full set of tags, scripts, and configuration used to embed a tweet inline with your pa

Yeah, to be clear when I said “makes sense” I was referring to what allows for a functional ecosystem of Twitter, users, media, etc. and not a legal evaluation. IANAL and all that. In this case wouldn’t your innocent infringement example a

The photographer didn’t post the image on Twitter, someone else who presumably didn’t have a license to do so did. The sites then embedded that other person’s tweet. If it had be the photographer that posted the tweet then the media compan

As far as whether or not Spotify is good to musicians, or takes too big of a cut, or distributes revenue fairly, I don't know. It's certainly possible that there's a better payment structure that would be better for musician

This is like complaining that the rates at the airport currency exchange are worse than in your FX trading account. Coinbase isn't a brokerage, it's more akin to a bank, and like a bank you're not going to get the market rate

You are assuming the value of time spent on these activities is inherently positive. If you like cooking or cleaning or taking out the trash then by all means you should do those things. But, if you don't like doing those things then

For portability you should use /s, not \s. \s only works on Windows.

Yeah, I had the same thoughts when I was writing that. The key difference is that the current system is so convoluted that there is almost no meaningful market for consumers on the actual care side of things.

In theory though, the market should address that right? e.g. a version of this that's $10k a year but can handle 10x the volume because you triage patients with competent nurses and PAs and save the expert's time for the cases wh

Yeah, I think that's pretty much the case. The first 320 bytes of the two PDFs released by Google result in the same SHA-1 state. Once you're at that point as long as you append identical data to each of the files you're go

This was a good explanation of what's happening here from a previous thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13715761 The key is that essentially all of the data for both images are in both PDFs, so the PDFs are a

That would require the client to be compromised though right? My understanding is that the client is making the decision whether to retransmit with the new key. Now it's fair to question whether you can trust the client, but if you ca

I believe that you get a key change notification, but by default it doesn't require any sort of confirmation and will just continue to work with the new key.

I did read the article, and yes, his points are largely due to technological and environmental constraints. He presents a combination of current and past VR tech (with a healthy dose of strawman mixed in) and uses that to make the claim th

I think that there is overoptimism in VR right now where the technology is going to progress slower than people think, there will be more difficult roadblocks than people think, and the best practices around VR software will take a while to

The coercion is to ensure that everyone at least tries something. I would bet that there is a significant percentage of people that would go in being unhappy about having to meet the requirement and come out being really happy that they di

I was thinking the same thing. Assuming it's technically feasible I don't see this as being a huge problem. If your site is important enough that you can't have any downtime due to a CA revocation then you spend the extra t

We used to play a game like this at my last company using a 4'x6' foamboard map that someone had pulled out of the trash. We would stand far enough back that you couldn't read the text on the map, use a generator to select a

I feel that at its core programming is about taking a conceptual idea (e.g. pac-man moving around a maze) and determining the unambiguous logic that describes it. The language used to express that description has a significant effect on th

The checksum is only telling you when the value is probably incorrect, it doesn't show that it's correct or meaningful. For example (on a completely hypothetical filesystem/disk), lets say you want to open a file. You read t

No one ever said "off". It's 20% of the time you're paid to work on things that aren't necessarily part of your core responsibilities but still have a plausible positive impact to the company, even if it's just
