I have a really hard time reading through something like this and pulling out pertinent information. This seems to be the quick and dirty summary in something close to layman's terms:

A total of 78 patients who recovered from COVID-19 infection (78%) had cardiovascular involvement ... The most prevalent abnormality was myocardial inflammation ... detected in 60 patients recently recovered from COVID-19 (60%), followed by regional scar and pericardial enhancement.

If anyone can else can give us a better breakdown that is succinct and doesn't require a medical degree to follow the jargon, please do. (I have had a class in medical terminology and I read medical records for five years as part of my job. But I was processing accident claims, not sickness claims, so I almost never read medical records saying anything about the heart.)
I'm always pleasantly surprised by the famous names talking on HN.

I started many years later, but still get to meet and sometimes work with some of those people you mention. I have the impression that I caught the very tail end of a golden age.

There are still companies making it work, rather than in the business of exploiting users/humanity, but I had a hard time finding many in my last job move.

The closest I found was AWS, but I had some side concerns. I ended up instead picking a startup that was doing something constructive, and seemed like decent people, and one of the ways they got my attention was by touting in their initial contact that they don't do blockchain. :)

Cardiologists are already concerned beyond what they see with influenza patients (which can also cause heart damage), especially because large amounts of viral replication has been found in the hearts of deceased patients:

He's not talking about banning the TikTok app narrowly, but banning TikTok from operating in the USA (which, assuming he's acting under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, could also including either preventing or directing and compelling sale, transfer, etc., of any of their property — or any property in which any foreign person holds an interest.)

Well it has the authority that is backed up by both the most powerful economic nation, that has the most powerful military in the world, and which is the nation that contains many of the most valuable companies in the world, which will absolutely follow the orders of our judges.
That "X thousand years of history" is a myth Chinese people believe about themselves doesn't make it true or a useful way of understanding anything.

I don't follow rap, but these two claims seem contradictory. Is the first not evidence of evolution in the genre, if in a direction you don't like?
Given your username and how recently your account was created, I can't help but be a bit wary. Not that I disagree with what you've written in principle.
I was expecting a mention of Peter Turchin, though I guess this is a more human approach. Huang's mention of exclusivity for some reason jumped out at me. So much of the college experience seems to be designed around a false scarcity be it pointlessly exclusive clubs, waitlists for seats in corona induced remote learning, semesters as the only amount of time you have to understand a subject or even the idea of grades as proxies for understanding. And it's strange how much fuel this provides both sides of the political aisle...

Even in the comments to this article, I'm seeing both populist right anti-elite links and populist left analysis framing the college experiences in terms of class...

Not sure I'm making sense, I'm kind of just writing this out as a form of thinking out loud...
That is actually fair enough.

The Chinese internet censorship isn't only censorship, it is also protectionism under disguise.

There is no reason to offer market access to the Chinese companies when China refuses to reciprocitate
> If the state can order tech companies to blacklist apps

The state absolutely can order parties not to participate in any way with trade prohibited under it's Constitutional power to regulate international trade.

Which includes Presidential directives issued under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
Another account created in the last 45 minutes. There seem to be a lot of them on this thread. 50 cent army?
Good point. By the same reasoning, China should of course ban American apps.

Edit: As they have done. (So don't complain about unfair market access, as they clearly have good reasons. Right?)
First of all Gtk doesn't require a rewrite every three months...

Secondly, at least for dynamic languages, you typically don't need to worry about wrapping Gtk's API, you just wrap GObject, and use introspection to dynamically generate classes.

When these studies talk about the value of "close" relationships, they tend to point to properties like respect, trust, and emotional intimacy. Basically the relationship characteristics that someone with a secure attachment style tends to develop. (Which raises an interesting question, are they really finding that attachment style is the biggest contributor to happiness?)

It's not necessarily a function of how much time you spend with the counterparties, or exactly how many relationships you have.

If you have strong, healthy relationships with your kid, ex, and a friend or two you're probably already in the "good" column.
Not in my experience. Modern “tech” companies are underpinned by advertising. It has a corrosive nature which rots the very core; employer and employee alike.

To clarify, they aren't shutting down Cortana completely - they're ending support for the standalone Cortana apps, which makes sense. What I find more interesting is how they're handling their smart speaker partnership:

> ...we’ve worked closely with Harman Kardon to create a Bluetooth-enabled device transition plan that we hope will help ease the impact of this change. Customers who receive a firmware update from Harman Kardon in early 2021 will still be able to continue listening...on their Invoke via Bluetooth.

If I'm reading this correctly, they're basically saying "very few people really use this as a 'smart' speaker, so we'll just turn it into a normal Bluetooth speaker and move on." I'm not sure whether that says more about Cortana or about the smart speaker market, but it seems like an...ok compromise? Certainly better than just bricking the thing.
Any action here would almost certainly be under the IEEPA, to which APA rulemaking process does not apply.
FCC is completely aligned with this administration policies. I think they would totally act fast if asked.
At the same time, it's hard to be headstrong and nonchalant when it's obvious that nobody really knows what's going on with this thing.
> My point is that the US president does not have the authority to tell a US company (Google/Apple) to "stop distributing this code (speech)," because that is the only way a ban like this could be implemented.

Yes they can. Who is going to stop them? If the judges/supreme court says that it is legal, then there is nothing that these companies can do to stop the US justice system telling them to do so, and fining or arresting them if they refuse to comply.

> Well, there are other ways, but all of them involve legislation by congress and things like Great Firewalls

No. All you have to do is bring it up in US court, and fine/arrest people if they refuse to comply.

This is how the law works. If you don't follow it, you get fined. And if you continue to not follow it, then mens with guns, known as the police, come to your house, grab you, and put you in a jail cell.

The law is enforced by force. And you really can't just ignore US law like that, if you have any presence at all in the US. Which major companies do.

> I would still object but it would not be because I think they lack authority

You can "object" all you want. But if the judges of the US disagree with you, then none of that matters. You don't decide what the police do. Thats what the courts are for.
I’ve never understood why the long term effects of Covid-19 have seemingly been ignored by the people who say this isn’t a big deal

Since antibiotics became a thing, it seems like it has mostly fallen out of fashion to associate long-term, permanent issues with a one-time infection. It used to be normal to think of infection in terms of permanent impairment.

Scarlet fever could do permanent heart damage. Polio could leave you unable to walk again.

But antibiotics and vaccines have helped create a mindset that if it's serious, you see a doctor, you get good drugs and it's a short-term issue, not something that will maim you for life. The world used to more routinely think in terms of a single infection maiming you for life.

Covid-19 possibly marks the end of an era in that regard. With antibiotic resistant infections on the rise and what not, we may see a return to those mental models of infection.
It's on point. We are trying to get something working under the current ruling, but I think it is impossible.

EUCJ ruled that US law is incompatible with the GDPR. There might be instances where FISA might not apply but in general you can't export data in the US.

Most EU Firms have contracts with MS Europe, Amazon in Luxemburg or Google Ireland - I guess they should come up with a solution...

I feel odd being so gushing about Best Buy, because for the longest time I really didn't have the most positive impression of them at all, but I'm not exaggerating when I say that over the last few years, I've had the best customer service experience from them that I've had anywhere in any store of any sort. It's really phenomenal, like enough to make me make a point of purchasing things there when I have the option. I don't even know where to begin, but I feel like they've been super attentive and genuinely helpful without dumbing things down.

Whether that's worth it or not to any given person is a personal thing but I was really surprised by it.

This site, as with so many that work on this problem, totally fails at American slang (basically anything from twitch chat). This is what one of my former jobs called the middle schooler test.

Ok. That's an argument for why this is unconstitutional, but not for why congress would be unable to declare it so.

It is fair to retaliate. But it's a sort of whataboutism. The problem is the direction the competition is heading.

You see, China built the Great Fire Wall. A bizarre thing is more and more countries are considering to do the same seriously.

So what's next? There are also a lot of reports about the concentration camps. I don't know how accurate are those horrible reports, but you definitely don't want your country competing on building more concentration camps.
It's... literally true, you can look up photos of turtle shells with characters etched into them on Wikipedia.

I’ve heard that in japan (or at least parts of it) they eat shrimp whole, and it’s kind of amusing when visitors bite off the tails.

Hate speech is a tricky thing to ban; who decides on what exactly constitutes antisemitism (or whatever)? America has traditionally leaned one way, other nations often go the other.

I'd love to ban Nazis and hate speech...but I don't trust many people to decide where that line should be drawn.
He seems to be feeding his nationalistic sheeple by strenghtening the reliegious ethos with such moves as turning Hagia Sofia into a Mosque and taking over this neutral territory which was in limbo for a really long time. Erdogan has nothing else to show his supporters rather than Turkey is becoming strong again, some sort of Turkish version of MAGA. The Turks who don’t support Erdogan are powerless at the moment. Only economic disaster will weaken his grip on power there. Similar to Erdogan we have Viktor Orban in Hungary and many others in the making. Hopefully once Trump is out other totalitarian dictators will follow suit

> in this case deforestation outweighs reforestation by a huge margin.

This is not remotely what is suggested by numerous studies. You can see in Africa for example deforestation and regrowth (in other areas) as whole make a balanced picture of tree biomass:
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-05386-z

Of course there are countries like Brazil where deforestation is happening at a faster pace (mainly driven by poverty and poor agricultural efficiency in the Amazon), but that does not mean the whole world is following the same trend. That's alarmism.
I've wrestled with this. A cleaner solution seems to be: using an asyncio.Queue.

So when your function is not reentrant, params = await command.get() runs in a loop inside a task ( command.put_nowait(params) is called elsewhere)

you can also use this to distribute tasks to different class methods
Except that cyber crime laws are horrible written, outdated, and flat out wrong. I guess we should just blindly follow the law, like when it said slavery was all good!
The two replies to this comment are the entire problem, in a nutshell.
Maybe the gap is indeed closed
Sadly I have to agree. Ryzen 3400G here, getting hardware transcoding on the iGPU is something I still haven't sorted out. There have been several recent issues in kernel, AGESA firmware (I suspect there might be newer versions with potential fixes that my mobo manufacturer hasn't released yet; this is 1.0.0.4 Patch B) and drivers.
I've had several rounds of hunting down and compiling various versions of driver packages, modules and kernels from source, trying third-party PPAs, to no avail. The amdgpu/amdgpupro mess adds another layer of confusion.

I am not sure if I am missing some update, need to set some undocumented kernel flag and/or BIOS setting, if it's a software issue or Í just made a mistake somewhere. Debian 10/11.

Meanwhile, as much as I wanted to get away from Intel, their drivers have never posed any issue at all.
Stonehenge is also between 4 and 5 thousand years old but it's not going to tell you anything about the mystical traditions of the people of the British Isles.
It appears as though very few Hacker News commenters have spent any time using Tiktok. It is the only enjoyable, enriching social media service I've ever used. Most everything many of us liked about the old/weird internet is present on Tiktok right now: almost no ads or commercial presense, personal content from real people (not hyper produced productions from influencers and pros), weird content, niche content, organically viral content, positive/encouraging comment sections. I've been exposed to such a huge diversity of things on Tiktok: people with physical disabilities, hilarious and creative videos from high schoolers, an elementary school kids frog journal, dance videos with single-digit views, large engine repair tips, home improvement tips, pet ducks, absurdist memes. You owe it to yourself to not dismiss Tiktok as a time-waster for idle teens. Those positive aspects of Tiktok are something we should be figuring out how to expand elsewhere.

> You can't just bypass the whole "make a rule" and "show that $X broke the rule" thing and go straight to "punish X".

Yes, as long as the punishment isn't essentially criminal in nature, you can, and it's long been a regularly used tool of foreign policy, under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. When sanctions are declared against foreign companies or individuals or trade with them otherwise restricted, it's based on declared threats to the country, not general rules that are announced in advance and then the specific individuals involved found guilty in some judicial process of breaking after the rule was declared. It's all by executive finding.
Some people have pretty strong opinions about this but in casual conversation you’ll naturally use either past tense or present tense to tell stories set in the past.

Try and explain the rules for when to use past tense and you’ll find that those rules are a difficult to formulate or articulate.

The weird thing is that apparently, using present tense is something that new writers gravitate towards. Kind of like how new composers and musicians gravitating towards modes and chord progressions.
IMHO anything with more than 400 million users is very hard to fuck up as a platform. You can fuck up the product in many ways but you will preserve the strong network effects.

Yahoo was also an incompetent operator with almost no solid business criteria or long term strategy. For 15 years or more Yahoo was simply a wannabe Google and never managed to find their business character.

I mean, it’s almost criminal to compare the performance of Microsoft vs Yahoo as operators. They are in different leagues.
China already did that a long time ago.
>unfair that Western social media companies are banned in China

They're not.

Bing has been in China forever.

Western platforms could always compete in China if they assent to domestic censorship laws like every Chinese platform. That's "fair" considering how onerous and costly compliance is. Western platforms simply have not invested in the necessary mass human moderation until the last few years, after confronted with the same violence that forced Chinese platforms to lock down post 2009 minority riots. Hence why Facebook and Google was open to engineering Chinese compliant versions after improving their moderation infrastructure following failed revolutions, genocides, mass shootings.

The reality is TikTok operates in US under US laws like how Bing operates in China under Chinese laws. There's nothing inherently unfair. The issue is asymmetric vulnerability due to fundamentally different governance systems. US could never leverage even western platforms operating legally in China to undermine China due to Chinese content controls - see China deleting diplomatic tweets on Chinese social media. But China can potentially leverage TikTok operating legally to undermine US. But instead of transferring TikTok to US ownership, which is merely anticompetitive, Trump decides to ban via executive action which is... upright undemocratic. That said, it's totally justifiable on security basis. But just remember China-hawks in current admin have no problem becoming the thing they wish to fight. That's what Americans should fear.
Could be, but we will all be old men by then, and given our profession, probably have a sizable chunk of change in the bank. Those that are vulnerable will be able to vote with their feet and enjoy comfortable retirement in South American or something.

It's the next generation that will truly suffer, because they will belong to neither country and be looked at as potential fifth columns by both.
