This looks awesome! Fun timing, too - I'm working on a related problem, trying to unlock multidimensional data in a similar way to how the spreadsheet unlocks data for non-technical stakeholders. So many businesses run on spreadsheets for good reason, but it's getting rare to be able to cleanly crush a data dump into a CSV and let an analyst or exec crunch away on it.

I'm sure it's confirmation bias, but I've been seeing tons of stuff on HN related to what I've been tinkering on, and it's really awesome to see other potential competitors thinking about the same problem and know I'm not way off in left field. :)
My guess is no, based on this quote from the article:

> "We were working with a protein that forms a multimeric particle resembling a virus but is completely safe, because it has no genetic material inside," said Pascal Fender, expert virologist at CNRS. "Completely by chance, we discovered that this particle was incredibly stable even after months, without refrigeration."

It looks like the protein was chosen for its virus-like structure and/or its potential to be remodeled to mimic this specific virus (Chikungunya), and it only happened to be thermostable.
100% there with you. Looking for an alternative as well. I like "The Information" (no referral link here) but it's tech-focused. I would love something like Reddit but not censored or toxic.
That is not true, although there is a DailyKos article that says that.

Whatever rights they wanted to give the states in the Constitution, they gave to "the states". The right to bear arms was specifically given to "the people", to prevent disarmament.
Dismissed with prejudice

Judge Navarro admonished the government for “flagrant prosecutorial misconduct” and withholding “potentially exculpatory” evidence, including FBI logs on surveillance and sniper activity, threat-assessment reports indicating that the Bundys were not dangerous, and internal reports about misconduct involving BLM agents.
>The white men who have been degraded and disowned of their culture, identity, and lands as throngs of foreign legions of "immigrants" are teated better than they, the heirs of the men that created the civilized world we all benefit from while most immigrants and freeloading types revile and fully disrespect what they have yet never earned

As a white man, you lost me completely there. Immigrants are absolutely not treated better than I am anywhere in North America, or in Europe where I've been to date but I'll concede in places where white people are a minority that might not always be true. I haven't given up anything in my life for "foreigners" and I live a very privileged life.

As a white man born into this world, you haven't earned anything any other person just born into this world doesn't have. Just because some white people have accomplished something doesn't give you claim or credit for that. In fact, you are reviling (immigration, foreigners) the very thing that gave rise to the west as it is now.

The history of the white man is filled with taking ideas and solutions from other cultures and races they encounter and building on them, essentially the same thing you're accusing China of doing unfairly.

The concept that the west culture and existence is solely due to "white people" is false and largely has been false from the start. Slavery, abuse, theft and centuries of using and discarding anything and anyone we can to get ahead is a significant part of our history (that includes abusing/slavery of other white men, its not solely a race issue, its a power/money issue).

Immigrants, especially second and third generation immigrants often have stronger ties to the country the immigrated to and are more willing to fight for it and die for it as numerous studies ahve shown.

The concept that immigrants are freeloaders is false, and easily disproved by any reading of the actual historical development of the western world. The US is a good example, it's made up almost completely of immigrants and their descendants and much of its early success is due to one group of immigrants abusing and using others (Black, Chinese and Irish slave labor/indenturehood among numerous other examples).

The most likely people to fight for the west and defend its existence are those people you're putting down in your wildly inaccurate and fear-mongering post.
In 1966, it was nuclear winter; today it's climate change. It's interesting how children's views of what can go wrong in the future change based on what seems to be the most relevant disaster of the time. I wonder what children from 1900 would say to the same question…war, maybe?

>> Because iirc pretty

Thanks for the compliment! Let's address what was said, and what I meant.

Here's the part of the post I was responding to specifically: >>It's also not cool to characterize people who have assault rifles or support the 2nd amendment as rednecks.

Now, most gun people will go out of their way to inform you that AR-15s and similar civilian weapons aren't "assault rifles", even though that's what most people are talking about in these kinds of discussions. You can't (technically) own a full-auto weapon in the US. Based on my general understanding of guns in the US, when most people see an AR-15, a "Modern Sporting Rifle" but I hate that term so I just described the gun, they think it's an "Assault Rifle" but that's not true.

I don't really know what you're point is here? The original (now flagged) post was pointing talking about redneck 2A-loving gun nuts. I was pointing out that 1- I don't like rednecks, 2- not everyone who owns a gun is a redneck, and 3- the Afghanistan War and a second US civil war would be very different conflicts.

ALSO, fwiw, there's plenty of modern bolt-action rifles being produced theses days because they're reliable AF, and if you're good at hunting you shouldn't need a clip (yea yea, "true Scotsman", whatever). Also, there are plenty of shotguns that are not semi-auto. There's all kinds of guns!
In my five-year experience at Amazon that has never been true.
Sure there wasn't, no Vice and Forbes articles, no shitstorm all over Twitter and Mastodon, no angry blogposts full of bile spreading lies, no decades of problems suddenly drawing attention, no long HN threads. I must have imagined it.

So the discussed sources of entropy are

- interrupts
- rdrand
- timer/instruction jitter

Why don't they throw more sources at the problem? LSBs from analog sources such as audio inputs, stray network packets (put the nic in promiscuous mode). Even uninitialized memory might be worth a few bits (not all systems zero it on boot).

But in the US there are as many guns in circulation as people. If you’re assuming even 20% of citizens hold those firearms you’re looking at an armed opposition that numbers over 60 million people.

It doesn’t matter how advanced your technology is, there’s a certain point where numbers win.

You’re also assuming that military personnel themselves wouldn’t defect and side with their fellow citizens in such a situation, which would also make a lot of the same technology available to the hypothetical resistance.

When you look at those numbers, it becomes clearer why pushes to disarm the population when there isn’t a problem present such a huge threat to the country.
I see some comments weighing the pros & cons of drinking bottled vs tap water

Bottled water has the most microplastics, 1000x cost, and the higher environmental impact (one can assume)

Tap water has half the microplastics and it's cheaper but it's also running through pipes that introduce lead into it

But what about just collecting rainwater and purifying it?

Update: It's in the rainwater too https://bigthink.com/surprising-science/microplastics-rainwa...

To me, it's opting into different means for keeping in touch and hence, keeping that "presence" in my friends' lives.

I quit Facebook a year ago - I had 800+ friends. I was only "close" (subjectively) with a slim fraction of that. Now, I text, call, send birthday cards, and use other means to communicate with those I truly care about. Not that I don't care about the other, it's more of my way to prioritize the people who I've shared more life experiences with and/or can better relate to.

If I see the others who aren't in that close circle, we have plenty to talk about. If I see my close friends, well, we do as close friends always have done.

No offense, but I would argue the notion of needing "presence" in people's lives contains some inherent narcissism which is also prevalent on social media; and to be fair, the other piece is the need for belonging. True, it was a tough pill to swallow when first disconnecting, but over time this faded and via the other means I suggested, I've found I get that same level of belonging.
There's innovation as seen by the top down, where it is "add [new solution] to [old solution] to [madlib] the [industry]" and invention as seen by the bottom up, where it is "add [feature] to [old tool] to make better [tool]".
> If the USA implemented all of Switzerland’s gun laws, a citizen who passes a background check would be able to buy a newly-made full-automatic machine gun that is not allowed in the US outside of law enforcement or military.

But they wouldn't get access to the ammo needed to use those guns, which are stored in a central community location to combat an unwanted suicide problem (and aren't they semi-auto anyways?).

They also aren't bought, but part of ones' militia service. You know, that first clause of the USA's 2nd amendment that the pro gun lobby says to ignore.
Yes, it works just fine over water. If you are going to use it for surfing, I would recommend taking a beacon in a waterproof bag of some sort, just to have the extra range and make sure it doesn't lose you. Keep in mind that the warranty does not apply to water damage, so fly at your own risk.

Also, make sure you can get back to land when the battery runs out, or that you're really comfortable hand-catching it.

Edit: I have been informed that you can manually set a "home point" on land to return to when the battery gets low. Also, apparently the surfing footage we captured was done with a pilot on shore with the joysticks as a range extender, and the subject being tracked purely visually (no beacon involved)

True this happens, but you're still better off that if you had tight coupling. In the absolute worst case you can make a shim implementation to support the obsolete use case. You can not do this when callers are directly reading your database/memory structure.

> Interesting how Boeing and Airbus don't manufacture in China, and coincidentally China hasn't been able to produce any viable competitor to those products.

Already debunked in this thread.

> Even their university culture practically encourages cheating

It is not like we'd not have this in western culture. They use the same metres we do: titles and names of educational institutions attended. As with every metric. those who understand it exploit it to cheat those who apply it.

> An economic model where American/European/Japanese/Korean tech is stolen and then friends of politicians are gifted CEO positions of companies that clone that stolen tech...not sustainable at all.

With a billion people behind it, it is actually pretty easy - you just outlive competitors while you pay for the losses out of pocket. And that is what western companies have been championing: If compliance says "we accept the risk", we take the risk.

> When robotic manufacturing eventually becomes cheaper and faster than manufacturing in China, meaning they'll no longer have IP to steal, they are in huge trouble.

So are we. Who is going to be able to afford the products if we all are replaced by robots in the workplace?

>And it isn't a case of 'well migrants cross the border in the middle of nowhere so it's their fault'

You say that fault is attributed
(by the public or whoever) due to [illegal im-] migrants crossing in the middle of nowhere...

Your counter argument is they mostly didn't cross in the middle of nowhere, so it's not their fault they were transferred to the middle of nowhere.

It has nothing to do with where they chose to cross the border illegally, people say it's the migrants own fault because they chose to cross the border illegally, period. You don't get to pick a jail when you're arrested, and you shouldn't be surprised to find out that many US immigration jails are along the southern border in the middle of nowhere.

They might not have chosen to cross in the middle of nowhere, yet their choices are still what caused them to end up there.

Again, this doesn't justify withholding medical care; you just shouldn't be surprised to end up in jail if you break the law, wherever that jail might be.
Wow! this is an really interesting chart. I would not have expected the US to have the same Output Per Hour as germany. Switzerland is just killing it. Where's your source?
