Because the virus is not real or not as serious as the media is making it as....The whole BLM movement has been slowing down the number of cases if anything, but now that the rioting has been dying down, they want to bring back Corona narrative. They also want to make #StayHome a thing again. All covid statistics have been proven to be flawed and if not, suspiciously fake. If covid was a real pandemic, all rioters would have symptoms and be dead, yet here we are having to wear cloth masks everywhere we go cause it's mandatory.

Worldometer shows that 92% of covid cases already have been recovered, leaving only 8% that actually died from corona (so they say). There were sources saying that lot of the elderly patients in NYC died through complications of breathing problems leading to suffocation from the ventilators they used. So people were accidentally dying and marking their death as Covid. Sounds a lot like the cases here in the West side where someone get shot, they mark their death as covid related.

Even the doctors where I work are truly skeptic to this bull crap. What Hospital is overworked with Covid patients in the US? I thought all hospitals were busy making twerking videos on TikTok whilst demanding more ventilators & masks. Clown times we are living in. The confusion in OP's article says it all

It would be interesting to analyze HN comments at scale to see if there are predictable genres or features of comments that are upvoted. Same for down voting, but it seems easy to predict downvotes. What pockets of the HN readership are rewarding what genres of comment? I am sure this is not a fresh idea...

Readership could choose to reward TLDR summaries of submissions. In general, discussion would then be better informed about the content submission.

Personally, I have found interesting discussion to sometimes be not so much about the content of a submission, but about the topic of the submission. A tedious pattern for content-focused stuff is that "what the author didn't do ..." post; a more engaging one is essentially "yes, and here is related or parallel work..." Elaboration is more interesting than negation for this reader.

Up or down voting is a big signal of relevance for the reader but not the only one. Really what I would like is some agent that can read HN submissions and comments for me, extract topics from submissions and interesting comments and links from discussions, and allow me to browse that digest first. Again, not a fresh idea.
Looks pretty good, but when you call it a map it makes me think that it would make the connections between topics, i.e. show the sequence you need to follow to learn things, what are the pre-requisistes for each topic, etc. I don't see that on learnawesome... or am I missing something?
Yeah, I did similar research as you and found that none of them were sticky enough for my uses. WikiJS came the closest, but it didn't feel 100% baked yet.

I'm currently using Dropbox Paper as my pseudo-wiki, which is... OK until I find something better.

For me, I like that Paper supports Markdown shortcuts (which for me personally, is the most important editor feature) and is minimalist.

This retired neurosurgical anesthesiologist's immediate, off-the-top-of-my-head response is that you're spot-on in zeroing in on this. If lost immunity over months proves to be the case, vaccination would require constant boosters — say, every 2-3 months. If by injection, a non-starter. Orally, like the Sabin polio vaccine, that's another story. All the many current vaccination trials require IM injections. See, for example:

Anyway, being able to spread without or very mild symptoms is the main thing of this disease, and this is why it can saturate hospitals in no time. Otherwise, if you are just contagious when in bed and with fever, the spread will be lower.

> 15 days

I said 'up to'. And most countries use 15 days to measure quarantine effects. In Italy we had a very high peak (~5K infections/day), and because of those measures (and some good sense) we managed to lower it to 200/day, totaling 13K infected.

When scientists talk about unification, they're talking about the idea that all the forces are fundamentally the _same force_ at high enough energy (or early enough times after the big bang).. They've only thus far been successful at unifying the electromagnetic and weak forces.
You can have fireworks go off such that the light from the next one reaches the crowd at the same time as the sound from the first. Tempo can be adjusted by changing the location/altitude where they go off. Then you only notice something off when you transition between fireworks that sound different, and even that can be mitigated by having transitions where one of the old type goes off simultaneously with one of the new type. You can't really adjust it on the fly, but you can break the show into discrete blocks that are synced to pre-recorded music, for example each song, and trigger each block on a cue to make what looks like a smooth continuous show.
Anyone interested in this concept should read The Innovator's Dilemma. It covers the idea innovation suffocation within big organizations very well and is just an overall fantastic book.

I'd say Go is a fair comparison here.

Type checking and Parsing isn't bottleneck in Rust compilation. Code generation is. LLVM is particularly heavy and while it generates optimized code, it is quite slow.

Go Authors didn't pick LLVM because of compile speed reasons (as well as complexity), and that turned out to be worthwhile tradeoff.

I'm not generally persuaded that we think linguistically, my experience on reflection seems to be that forming ideas linguistically is 'post processing'. On the other hand the rigor of trying to express a thought or idea linguistically can greatly aid the thinking process. If they are 'technically' separate faculties, I suspect that in humans the specifics of the implementations are extremely highly coupled and interdependent.

We have exactly that for a sidecar on one of our team’s k8s clusters. There is a legacy python 2.6 twisted service. It will not get priority to be updated (functionality is being slowly eroded into other services). It exposes its metrics in a non-standard way and updating it to emit to Prometheus was going to be non-trivial.

Enter the sidecar. It lives next to each instance and scrapes the metrics and converts them over for Prometheus to consume, and happens to be written in Go. It was developed and released in a day or two.

OK, thanks for explaining your point. I still think you're conflating Tencent with China as much as you're overestimating how well-functioning the Indian government is. In my view it is grossly incompetent beyond spreading propaganda, horse-trading MPs and MLAs to swing elections, and indeed disappearing people and killing them extra-judiciously in fake encounters. Ambani capturing everything would result in the complete demise of the dregs of Indian democracy as he will remain king-maker as long as he lives IMHO.
I'm glad to see this post here. Just because I hear/read a lot of people outright dismiss Rust's potential here with arguments that kind of miss the point:

1. You don't need CPU performance for most web stuff. It's all IO bound.

2. Related to #1, garbage collectors are fine and you don't need the Rust model.

3. Rust is so hard to learn that it isn't worth it unless you need the performance.

There's so much more to Rust than the performance. It hits a really nice sweet spot between being expressive and letting you take as much control as you want/need.

Sometimes GC'd languages are a pain in the butt because I just want a damned destructor and I would like to be able to guess when/if it's gonna run.

And, frankly, Rust isn't that hard. It's an imperative language. It's not Haskell.
I don't think it's unreasonable that for many people, a publisher with experience and an existing distribution network & agreements, perceived authority as a "real" publisher, and a marketing budget and plan will result in 10x the sales. I've had a friend self publish in another industry and getting books shipped around the world and in stores is a hassle as a lone operator - and that's if people even know you exist.

If you live in the US (she didn't) then Amazon can be a decent option for a lot of reach though.

Amazon and other similar print on demand services also help with this but it's not suitable for all products (full colour can be a problem).

"Antibody responses".

Not discussed:

- Immunological memory (or lack thereof): we don't have antibodies in our bloodstream for all the vaccinations we did - they're triggered by infections

- T cell responses (which seem to play a part in some mild cases, although the Swedish study discussing this was criticized)

In fact, from the discussion in the paper, it is mentioned:

> However, the role T-cell responses generated through either infection or vaccination play in controlling disease cannot be discounted in these studies [vaccination studies quoted before] and defining further the correlates and longevity of vaccine protection is needed.

The only thing one can do is to wait, at this point, and see whether there are reinfections (and by reinfections it does not mean a PCR-positive test: it would require testing for infectious virus in cell cultures).

Actually, the study makes more interesting points than this one, including using classes of antibodies as markers of acute infection. Too bad the press seems interested in something else (without realizing that the appeals at the "miracle vaccine" will not work if immunity is not long-lasting).
The answer is: it depends.

The GDPR allows for collection and processing without consent for several reasons including (but not limited to) legal requirement (e.g. anti-fraud) and legitimate interests (e.g. app install conversions).

The GDPR is also quite clear that consent is not required to collect _anonymous_ data, i.e. data which in no way can be traced back to the individual, but this requires balancing with the other principles of the regulation. Recital 26 of the GDPR states:

“…The principles of data protection should therefore not apply to anonymous information, namely information which does not relate to an identified or identifiable natural person or to personal data rendered anonymous in such a manner that the data subject is not or no longer identifiable. This Regulation does not therefore concern the processing of such anonymous information, including for statistical or research purposes.”
Oh, this is coming quite out of the blue.

I’d say it goes for any kind of cctv footage. It’s always too low quality to identify an individual, and doesn’t show anything else than the crime happened. It’s useless to identify a suspect unless you already have the suspect in custody and can match time/location/clothes. When has anyone ever been arrested from being identified from cctv footage?

Static checking is just a part of correctness verification (pretty large chunk but not enough).

It can't catch many logic bugs, eg forgetting to update a variable's value. The type system can't help without non-straightforward techniques, and at that point it is diminishing returns.

A powerful type system shouldn't be an excuse for not being able to iterate fast.

90% of everything is crap (Sturgeon's law) so by that reasoning, you can block everything.

And I don't know what ABP on iOS does or how it changed but the original extension wasn't trash. Sure, it has that controversial "acceptable ads" policy but it can be disabled by just unchecking a box in the settings once. I took a look at the code, compared it to a "cleaned" extension called AdBlock Edge and there wasn't much that unchecking that box didn't do.

Like most people, I switched to uBlock, then UBO, but performance was the main driver. Unless there ave been some major change ABP still fit my needs, UBO is better for me but it doesn't mean the other is trash.

I can confirm that this is the case within JPMC. Old things only work in IE and new things have been tested most in chrome. But this stat is quite high just because chrome is the “strategic” solution so it is seen as unnecessary to make things work elsewhere.

As a devout Firefox user it is frustrating (especially being told your web browser is no longer supported).

They are setting themselves up to eventually migrate to Edge so that one web browser can access both the old legacy sites and the new stuff.

I agree with you here that, that is definitely an issue. One should never be ridiculed or looked down upon when asked for scientific evidence. But I guess that is a completely different subject of "scientific elitism" or "scientist elitism",

Not that is of any help but the government in Denmark has done sort of the same. If you question their policies and responses to COVID they say “It’s based on advice on scientists and professionals”. You ask what professionals and science for long enough they say well it was a political decision. And this circle go around in till someone gets tired
I've heard this a couple of times, it's a bit trite, a little anti-science, but worth some analysis. Suppose your analogy holds: which of mask-wearing and non-wearing is the parachute and which is the empty backpack? I ride the London underground regularly, masks are mandatory and 90-95% of people wear one. I'd say 20% of people let it drift down from their nose while they play on their phones, more than that are constantly adjusting it, touching their face with the hands that are also touching the seats and the hand-rails. Is this more or less dangerous than not wearing one at all? Are we really saying that this question is outside the realm of science?

Void Linux, because it's stable. I've never had an update break my system, unlike other rolling-release distributions.

The tooling is great: runit, xbps, and xtools are refreshingly simple and sane.

I also like the fact that Void takes the BSD route more often than other Linux distros. LibreSSL is cool.

I don't face any specific problems. Sometimes the changes that experimental software tends to undergo can be challenging to keep up with, but the Void team manages to develop their toolchain without compromising stability. As a result, when behavior changes slightly, I generally find it easy to adapt.
