The rest of the world will get it's vaccines after the first-world states are all vaccinated. And while it sucks to live in a third-world country where vaccinations will come 2022 or 2023 maybe, I can't see any other way, except if the third world would do their own production. Letting more people in the first world die to save some in the third world would be politically impossible.

Agreed. Of course, if ask Americans “wouldn’t it be nice if everybody had access to healthcare" everyone says yes. If you touch on how, who pays, or if you have to give up existing care, approval tanks
Yes, definitely. I too find it incredibly sad. Give me the 90's Internet back.
It’s untrue that the investigation uncovered nothing. Too long for an excerpt, but you can read it here. Please stop spreading disinformation.

Cass Sunstein once wrote an essay explaining how "probability neglect" explains why people are "more scared [of the coronavirus] then they have any reason to be"[1]. And he thinks that because other people suffer from biases (such as probability neglect) people like him should be in charge of censoring falsehoods.

Is anyone concerned by the coordinated efforts of Facebook Google, Twitter, Discord, Reddit, and Apple today?

If these groups and individuals that were banned were violating the TOS before, why did they leave them in place for so long? How do these companies decide when to enforce their rules, since obviously it's not immediately? And do they make deals with one another (I'll ban someone you don't like if you ban someone I don't like)?
Another way to say this is the "well-kept gardens die by pacifism."

The First Amendment applies ONLY to the government:

There's no legal reason a private company cannot manage its content?
Who are you to let this happen may i ask, if that's "you", who are the rest? and why the rest should bend into status-quo?
Huh, that's pretty crazy, especially with AOC herself writing up impeachment papers:

"Sunrise planned a sit-in in Pelosi's office and asked Representative-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to help them publicize the event, which she instead decided to join herself...The sit-in took place on November 13. Over 250 protesters showed up to occupy Pelosi's office, with 51 being arrested by Capitol Police."

Another strange alliance - when the Finns fought "with" the Germans against the Russian. I'm using quotes because they weren't allies, really, but were against a common enemy at the time. Some discussion of that in "The Winter War" - http://www.amazon.com/Winter-War-The-Finland-1939-1940/dp/08....
Here's a fantastic explanation:
http://diveintohtml5.org/semantics.html#unknown-elements

The TL;DR is that all browsers treat unknown elements as inline elements, so for older browsers you'll need to explicitly define elements like header, section, etc as display: block.

IE has an extra wrinkle, where it won't apply CSS styles to unknown elements. The fix, which Modernizr applies, is to create dummy elements of each new type in JavaScript before they appear in the page.

Once that's done, IE happily applies styling to the new elements.
he just made the plausible assumption/suggestion that fans/followers of Ayn Rand would be biased towards liking the movie. I don't think that's true though, from what I've seen.
Of all the protocols on the Internet, HTTP is the most important user-facing one. Having your primary domain not support it, even on the level of blindly returning 301 to all HTTP requests, is tantamount to boarding up all the doors on your shop and hoping visitors guess you want them to come in via a rope dangling from the skylight.
Great adage. It is attributed to economist Ronald Coase.

(I also enjoyed seeing it quoted here grammatically correctly, the word data is plural, datum being the singular. Wikipedia has it grammatically incorrect but as Coase never published the phrase who knows if his grammar was as good as his maxim).
The BED cited by wikipedia (3.6 millirems for eating one banana a day for a year) is equal to .000036 Sv. Will you get chronic radiation sickness from that? Not even close. Chronic exposure to radiation in the 0.4 Sv range--over 10,000 bananas per day--is not enough to cause harm, and actually appears to be beneficial.

http://cerrie.org/committee_papers/INFO_14-C.pdf
I'll bet that more people have been killed in the last 10 years by falling crates of bananas than have been killed by leaking nuke containers.

Yes, there are far more crates of bananas. My point is that we should make these decisions with cost-benefit analysis, not hype.
Although specific to Oracle, any of Tom Kyte's books are invaluable when it comes to learning about databases and how they work.

If you do work with Oracle, Tom's "Ask Tom" site is excellent for learning tips and tricks, as well as for finding elegant solutions to tricky SQL problems. Again, it is oracle focused, but still very valuable. Link to Ask Tom:

> and I don't think Americans get very good news (or are even interested...)

What a stupid thing to say. Do you think that Americans who visit HN are prone to bouts of Fox News watching? Do you think Google News or bbc.co.uk is censored here?

> HN sadly has never been very politically enlightened when it comes to America and geo-politics.

This thread in particular shows great enlightenment on geo-politics. Just read the top comments.
Happy Birthday when it comes!

Was there a specific incident that caused you to wise up? Some sort of epiphany?
I do appreciate this nice geometrical explanation, but the explanation of Euler's identity via Taylor series expansion has always seemed intuitive and reasonable to me.
When I worked at Brookhaven National Lab, the sewer system had radiation detectors in it, to ensure there was no improper disposal of radioactive stuff. It was said that it was sensitive enough to detect someone flushing a banana down the toilet.

The Assistant Director of the lab at the time, had had a radionuclide angiography, and I guess the radio marker is emitted in the urine, because he claimed to have set the alarms off after coming back to the lab post-procedure.

"The first stage of any cure is admitting the problem. The hardest part of any cure is facing the solution" :)

I do know that I want autonomy, and not having to rely on anyone financially

You could easily achieve this on very little money; but this is a very broad and non-specific aim whioch covers anyone from the millionaire to the hermit (and, arguably, better describes the hermit). I'm doing an Msc in project management at the moment and we just did a section about why projects fail; the number one reason was a failure to specify the problem to be solved in enough detail.

Many marital disagreements are about money. Many lives get ruined by poverty. Not having to worry about money simply makes life easier.

The important thing to remember is that having lots of money is not necessarily a solution for this - or rather it certainly ain't the only solution.

For me I've often thought that I'd like to be rich enough @ 30 to be a music composer.

Well, if you have a talent then there is a lot of money in that area (my brother is setting up to be a composer, does very nicely even while finishing off his degree). If you don't have the ability to do that as a job then, yeh, that sounds like a pretty concrete/specific aim to go for! Fix on that and flesh it out as an idea. Write it down and stick it up somewhere prominent. Break it down into steps/things you will need. Then really dedicate to achieving it.

My goals are not particularly finance oriented any more and so might be a little wierd :) Only one requires actual serious amounts of money (and, really, that is the "long term dream" I allow myself).

- live on a narrow boat for a reasonable period of time (status: looking at buying one now, sticking point is decent but not insanely expensive internet access)

- have a successful company by 27 (status: working on it, but this is too general at the moment and I need to concrete it better first)

- marry someone amazing (status: found her but she slipped the net :) working on that)

- be respected by people [by which I mean earn a position of respect somewhere important] (status: very hard, harder than I thought. though I have a little/growing respect in my work niche here in the UK)

- be respected by my employees by a) leading the charge at the company and b) being an understanding boss (status: requires my own company...)

- write a piece of open source code that is used "universally" and is regarded as awesome by at least someone :) (status: this could well be fluke to achieve)

- live in a small whitewashed cottage in Cornwall (I know the one I want, currently a wreck)

- learn to fly, fly a jet (status: problematic as it a serious piece of time is needed to achieve it)

- go into space (status: pipe dream, but am determined to achieve it in time)
Because they allowed themselves to be subjects in an unprecedented long-term experiment on the effects of space on the human body. Since they are identical twins, one is a near perfect control for the other who stayed in space. Unfortunately, it's not looking good for people traveling in space over long periods.
I don’t wonder, because their actions have been making “the American public” less safe and more surveilled for decades. They are after the same thing all military intelligence services are after: power and control.
Are there any open source git hooks that will scan your code for known credential formats?
"and relying a single password for many accounts"

Then don't.

I rely on similar passwords for non-important services, but important ones have an unique password/2FA

Other resources I found usefull for F# were Sestoft's "Programming language concepts" which uses F# to teach about interpreters and compilers and Flying frog consultancy's "F# Journal".
This is remedied with a simple VPN, correct?

only justification in that article:

" Arvind Gupta, the head of IT Cell, BJP Tweeted: 'The websites that have been blocked were based on an advisory by Anti Terrorism Squad, and were carrying Anti India content from ISIS.

I've been able to make apps with Tropo really quickly, and it's been invaluable to my team and I as we tackle difficult hackathons, client projects and our main software project, Geoloqi. It integrates well with everything out there, and the support is incredibly strong.

The Tropo IRC channel is always available with more than a few Tropo representatives there. There have been multiple occasions where our requests have resulted in immediate action and changes to Tropo.

They've make awesome power available to their users, and they're really making strides into increased documentation and usability every day. It's fun to watch them evolve.
Love my 25" Westinghouse monitor. It's quite well designed and has held up great over the years. After the purchase I got interested in the company, it has a long and interesting history.

The thing that sparked my curiosity was simply noticing the logo in strange places. Last week I saw Westinghouse branded Pyrex bakeware at a thriftstore. Years ago I found the logo on a residential home window indicating a security system. I've seen it in many other unexpected places.

Interesting, diverse company. I stand by the quality of this display, for what it's worth! Discontinued at Newegg but here it is:

I only reflected your post back to you, but I guess I'm learning what to look for. Probably helps that I share a lot of them :P

You don't need to feel afraid of this, and worried about that, and inferior or unworthy because of the other. These are learned mental behaviours - not everyone has them, some people can do things we are afraid of without fear because they haven't learned some arbitrary and overly cautious fear link. And they are hackable, fixable behaviours, I think.

Wouldn't you like to be happy to show off your current project and eager to ask for advice, enthusiastic and unafraid? Wouldn't you like to feel good enough even if you sit around doing nothing? Do you think cats wander around feeling inferior because they eat food given to them and don't work? Wouldn't you like to stop worrying about going in the wrong direction and needing reassurance?

Can you see how, if you changed these sorts of things, you would do things differently and your approach to the next ten years of life would change a lot? That's why I put it as something to work on sooner rather than later in my imaginary being 20 again reply.

It's not easy ... but it's not difficult because it's a lot of effort, it's difficult because it's mind twisting and emotional. And because there's a lot of ra-ra just-do-it useless self-help fluff all over the place that needs to be avoided along the way.

Reminds me a bit of IBM Global Services in the late 90s.
I always have the idea that the westerners are more aggressive because they use knife on the dinner table. If you cut your own food, and sometimes see blood dripping out from it, you tends to think making others bleed is more or less a pleasure, or even a daily need.

As a programmer, I think the cooking process should be well encapsulated, and the knives should be left in the kitchen. The eaters should care about sending the food to the mouth, rather than having to postprocess it.
I would rather guess because "that was the team/persons favorite tool to do the job".

In most areas tool choices are less about objective benefits and more based on familiarity/popularity/etc.

I'm not surprised. Unhappy people with low self esteem will always reject any social behavioural changes which are in contradiction to the norms which allowed them to thrive themselves in some snake environment.
I don't know where in the EU you are but I live in Germany and had to have cancer treatment a few years ago & got outstanding care for no cost. Also having two children the amount of support we (and everyone who has kids) get from the state here is excellent.

The economy is finally catching up with building use cases around what a computer can do.

The result is that special-purpose computing is growing, and general-purpose computing is on the decline.
The paper does also say stablecoins are more likely to widely used as money than crytocurrency (if properly regulated). But it also acknowledges that they carry significant counterparty risk, especially as holding asset backing is unprofitable and so issuers are incentivised not to hold the assets they claims to hold. And the reality is that stablecoins aren't really used for anything other than buying crypto on offshore exchanges.

(tbf to the paper, apart from the sentence highlighted by the OP it's pretty level-headed about actually existent crypto)
Not all cryptocurrencies are the same. Many newer ones run PoS which doesn't 'waste' energy. The Celo network goes even further and is carbon negative. It sends a portion of block rewards to Project Wren, which uses them to buy carbon credits to offset more carbon than the network emits to run.

I could be wrong, but it seems Group is so popular now that every deal reaches the tipping point.

They need to have deals with a network effect so as more people buy the deal it then gains more value for each customer.
I think TCP would probably time out on the receiving side before you even established the 3 way handshake. You'd have to set up some kind of store-and-forward proxy on Earth using UDP or something with a cache on the Mars side.
That must be why all those people are wandering around the TenderNob at 3AM on Tuesday nights! Them's smart!

It's not OS X specific, but Tmux and Tmuxinator have done wonders for my productivity.
Amen. Unfortunately, the Air Force culture, from its leadership down to its rank-and-file is one that emphasizes the individual heroism of fighter aces, so I'm not confident in the Air Force's ability to internally reform itself towards a more UAV-centric warfighting model.

I feel like the people crowing about unparalleled air-combat superiority of the USAF today are similar to the people who crowed about the impregnability of the Maginot Line in 1936. They're correct, but the point will be rendered moot by new technology and new tactics.
I keep hearing that masks make people touch their face. I put to you the following questions:

1. Do frontline healthcare workers also "touch [their] face" when wearing these masks for the same reasons regular people do? I imagine it's to adjust the fit? If the answer is no, is it because they have been educated not to? People, at least where I am in Canada, are being told not to touch our faces already. Can we not just extend the messaging to be "avoid touching your face, even when wearing a mask"?

2. If increased face touching when wearing a mask is truly a problem, would we not expect Hong Kong and Taiwan to have a worse community spread situation? Why is it that they have this contained? Again, the example is anecdotal. But coincidentally, they're both locations that learned from SARS and H1N1 and mask wearing is a foundational part of their public health response.
I feel like it depends on the goal.

If your goal is faithful retrocomputing, then sure, an ATMEGA is out of the question v., say, a 6502 or Z80.

If your goal is minimalism or simplicity, then an ATMEGA is perfectly viable as a way to get there.

There's not a single person who would agree that the US president is handling this well - For purposes of discussion of COVID19 it's best to just ignore him (I mean this respectfully but seriously).
Well, death is a large constant for humans so it's understandable that we're gonna have a lot of feelings about it. And there's this general understanding that at least some human emotions are more important than economic interests.

Addendum: I'm kinda shocked though. Is this a widespread sentiment towards ethics and individual rights in the pharma industry? If so then I'd say that skepticism is pretty justified.
Isn't India the real elephant in the room here?
maps7 didn't say masks don't work; they said that we've been told they don't work. maps7 is right, a lot of headlines at the least have been saying things like that.

There are other particles made of quarks (generally called hadrons). Those with and odd number of quarks are called baryons. Mesons are those that have an equal number of quarks and anti-quarks.

"All" protons we see are the same because the exotic configurations decay. (While protons are not yet known to decay.)
The saddest thing about all of this IMO is they have been working on this for 14 years, and how much money was spent/wasted? Now, read about Skunkworks - they were able to build the SR71 (without supercomputers) in less than half that time and for a fraction of the cost.

This isn't just planes, this seems to be everything nowadays. Fission was discovered in 1938/1939 and we dropped two bombs on Japan in 1945. No chance we could do something like that in this toxic environment of today.

I know Peter Thiel is not popular here, but his conversations about technological progress seem to be spot on: we just cant build cool shit anymore. I really did want a flying car, and all I have is 140 characters and promises of AI that never come true.

Headquarter or not. What matters only in my opinion is where they pay their taxes.
Yes, the belief is prevalent, even though mostly wrong.

My guess is that other downsides, real and imagined, make people overestimate the impact on prices.

What is most unfair about prop 13 is that the lower tax rate can be transferred to your descendants. It's one thing to pay 10x the taxes of your neighbors, it's another thing altogether to have a class of people benefiting from lower taxes over generations!

Also, I know there are probably better ways to finance a city, but that's how we currently do it. It should be done fairly, ideally we should meet in the middle. It's fundamentally unfair that some folks pay up to 10x or more than others. I'm speaking personally, but it really bothers me that my neighbors are actually OK with this.

Also, there are lots of ways to ensure elderly/retired folks can stay in their homes. Taxes can be deferred.
The total costs to keep all F-35s in the air until 2070 (likely after you and I are dead and in the ground), would not even cover 6 months of Medicare for all or UBI. Not sure how you can draw such an equivalence.
