Right, leaflet can be used also outside the map context. We used it to reimplement a "Pick Your Own Seat" component (originally implemented in flash), where the user picks its own seats while buying tickets!


can you tell us the scale you're talking about? getting good enough results with ~1 billion rows


Can you tell us about your scoring function? Selecting 40M results from a dataset of ~1B and returning the top 10 based on some trivial scoring function is easy, any reasonable search system will handle that. The problem is when you have to run your scoring function on all 40M matching docs to decide which 10 are the most relevant. It's even more of a problem when your scoring function captures some of the complexities of the real word, rather than something trivial like tf/idf or bm25.


Love it! But the cdn serving the images is improperly configured. The browser hits the cdn each time you go back and forth, downloading the images (multiple megabytes each) every time.

Likely the `expires` header is the problem (it's a date in the past)


Many other countries in Europe can do it as well.

    The electronic identity cards of Austria, Belgium, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Portugal and Spain all have a digital signature application which, upon activation, enables the bearer to authenticate the card using their confidential PIN. Consequently they can, at least theoretically, authenticate documents to satisfy any third party that the document's not been altered after being digitally signed. This application uses a registered certificate in conjunction with public/private key pairs so these enhanced cards do not necessarily have to participate in online transactions.

They really got me before reading this comment


Not necessarily. you could use their ad network or just use your instagram account like anyone does posting images\stories


I think he was referring generically to any bad crafted vaccine. Not the one approved by authorities. Indeed any improvised drug can be harmful.


Just throwing some data, average general practice doctor is 150k$ in US vs 61k$ in germany.

I believe that doctors in the US get paid more than in germany, but 60k seems very very low. Teachers have an income in that range....

Edit: Looking at some german articles, maybe they did not convert from eur to usd, ~80,000-100,000$ (depending on expertise etc) seems more likely for a dr working at a hospital (which is still low imho compared to US salaries...).

You have to keep in mind that med school and the equivalent of premed in germany is completely free. Of course that does not make up for the pay difference completely but it changes the perspective quite a bit imo, since med school in the US is extremely expensive. Additionally I could totally see doctors being ok with less pay for the trade off of living in a more fair system. Coincidentally I know one expat here that specifically does not want to return to the US to become a doctor there for that very reason. She specifically does not want to move back because she feels the healthcare system in the US is unfair and she would be profiting off of that system.


And furthermore you have to differentiate between "assistance" doctors (~82k $) and "chef" doctors (~336k $). (I don't know the comparable titles in the US system)

Both values are taken from the parent's article and converted using Google. Of course, mostly without serious student debt


I think the difference in wages narrows down with specializations. I linked just the "general practitioner" because I couldn't find an average including all the specializations.


That’s a terrible source, $150k is laughable for the US. Maybe for a part time doctor working 2 or 3 days a week.

This is more accurate:

I don't believe that salary income is the complete picture for physicians in the US. There are still a lot of doctors who are also "insider investors" in clinics, diagnostic equipment, and other medical businesses.


That's good, doctors should be paid more. 15 years for a license.


Right! the keyword here is "Reproducible Builds". Basically once there is documentation about how to produce the release build, you can do it yourself and compare the resulting hash with the build distributed in the Store. Generally speaking it does no come for free, but once you find a way (e.g. for iOS compiling with a specific Xcode version in a specific OS with some adjusted config) is kind of doable (except that Apple encrypts your build server side for DRM purposes, so you'll need a jailbroken phone to do something about it)

For Signal there is an open issue here for iOS [1] and some documentation for Android [2]

Some nice work about it has already be done by telegram https://core.telegram.org/reproducible-builds

This has nothing to do with the comment you replied to, as you have no idea what software is running on their server, so what would it even mean to reproduce it in the first place? The correct answer is merely "the server never received much in the first place so it doesn't matter as much if they stored all of it".


right, I think I messed up with the reply while I was reading other comments.


Looks like we're talking a study when N=1, I would wait a little bit more before drawing conclusions.
