I suppose it depends on your definition of "acute symptoms" because that is not a distinction made by the paper. The subjects in the study were simply all cases discharged from the hospital with a negative test, not meeting some acute standard you set. only 12% of them were ever admitted to ICU, for instance.

You are free to infer what you want from the lack of data about the other cases which the paper did not cover, but that is not how i interact with science. A complete lack of data should never be the basis of your hypothesis.
In a business context, I'd definitely consider paid support for an Open Source product. But I'm not interested in a proprietary version that I can't modify or get third-party support for or otherwise work with in a pinch; I'm certainly not going to make a business dependent on it. Push the proprietary version hard enough and I'll reconsider whether I even want to use the Open Source version, or if it might be on more tenuous ground that might get undermined in the future (pushing back on improvements to the Open Source version to maintain differentiation, or worse, deciding to switch to a non-FOSS license in the future).
Thank you for pointing this out, I thought BRK.B had no voting rights. I looked it up and learned that BRK.A shares have 6.66 the voting power of the equivalent dollar amount of BRK.B shares. Specifically, each BRK.A share is 1,500x the economic value of BRK.B but 10,000x the voting power. [1]

It turns out that there are indeed share classes of these companies with no voting rights (GOOG, class C) but I haven't found an example of a company that doesn't have some voting shares in non-insider hands.

It's still shitty that the S&P indices barred SNAP while turning a blind eye to the existing inequities. I'm perfectly okay with them barring new split share listings but at least begin to apply it to others that benefit from the lack of corporate governance.

I've been on various forums with "moderation standards." The different moderators still have different approaches and different reputations for being a soft touch or heavy-handed. Human moderators, despite having standards or guidelines in front of them, are not consistent. When confronted about it, they will cite interpretations, "reading the room," discretion, and so on.

We have seen this scenario play out in censorship standards, various authorities, and so on over the decades. It never works as intended.
No, not necessarily.

Neither the dictionary on my desk nor Wikipedia define the term as requiring force.
That's not always true; sometimes the Q/A periods are used to establish an evidentiary record, unless that falls under your definition of 'sound bite'. The chance to ask unrehearsed questions of a tech company CEO who has to answer on the spot is valuable, even if seldom used to its full potential.
Reminds me of private companies who profit from public resources.

Understandable, but the cost to produce a glove is still very minor. And the way you solve pollution and microplastics from items in the trash can is by making sure that trash from cans is handled appropriately. Not by having consumers reduce their trash by a few percent. The climate damage is the only thing where you can really put responsibility on the consumer, and that can be fixed with a well-directed fraction of a penny.

Qt is pushing hard for commercial licensing (which I heard prevents you from using the open-source version), putting L/GPL FUD on their websites, and trying to track users of their installers more.

When I dabbled in print design (working heavily on structured templates in FrameMaker, Interleaf, Microsoft Word, and LaTeX), I lucked out that my first site had license for Palatino, which I loved for body text. Few engineering specs within the European Space Agency process model ever looked so stylish. :)

I later also liked Knuth's Computer Modern Roman for body text, but can't stand CMR at headings sizes, especially in heavier weights. Palatino, OTOH, I recall working for headings, though I still usually prefer to use sans serif typefaces for headings.
I have the demand that they stop their abusive tracking. Would they ever do that? No. So I guess they want to become TV to pacify advertisers.

Frankly, I love Twitter. They've always seemed like the "scrappy" big player in the tech space that's played just the right side of the norm in many cases. An appropriately filtered experience on Twitter as a user is actually quite fun.

That said, much of this is atrocious news. For all of their engineering prowess, seeing poor opsec failures combined with the lack of basic security principles like "containment of blast radius" and "fast response to critical failures" is not something you can easily forgive at this scale.

But who am I kidding... it would be especially rich if some of these takeovers were enabled by simjacking-like attacks. Not that long ago, the only two-factor auth mechanism that worked for me was SMS.

Because he can't alone arbitrarily raise the rent and lose you to another landlord, but if across the board people suddenly had $XXX more money per month it would be stupid not to increase the current rents for that amount (assuming they aren't a slumlord). Most people don't want to move away from large population centers (where most rent payers live).

Also when the experiment begins there are exactly zero guarantees that it will last more than one election cycle, so would you by immediately quitting your job and moving to a cheaper city to enjoy couple years of UBI or would just pay the extra cost in rent from the "free money" you get from the government and wait out if the experiment continues or not?

I can easily see that increase to be permanent if the program is seen as a success and then people are left with the same decision of moving out of the cities where they have their lives established in favor of not having to work for a living.

I grant you that I have a very pessimistic view of the future and it sure would be wonderful if I could just dick around playing WoW all day without having to worry about bills, but the little devil on my shoulder is constantly whispering scenarios where all attempts at making world better through charity just end up with us in a worst place than where we started.
It's interesting almost no web server provides an easy way to deal with multi-tenant multi-domain architectures in a good way that includes automatic SSL.

Caddy is the closest, but still not near enough.

There is this small segment of the market that we operate in that requires thousands of TLS connected domains to be hosted behind a dynamic backend. It's services like Tumblr, Wordpress.com, or any other hosting service where you can get a "custom domain" to point to your own blog or site.

NGINX - No.

Apache - Nope.

Caddy - Can do (but need lots of workarounds)

Envoy - Nope.

Everyone focuses on a few hand-coded domains and no automatic TLS. Maybe this part of the market is too small anyway. Sigh.

> - Consulting::: Ease of use is ignored, as if it's too easy people won't need consultants.

Some problems can only be made so easy. Some problems require custom work. Sometimes you need paid support not because the product is low-quality but because you need to know that you can call someone at 3am because your service is down. There are lots of reasons to have consulting.

> - Sponsoring Goals::: Software is almost held at ransom, until goals are reached.

You're assuming the work would get done one way or another. Sometimes people have many other things they could be doing, and they need to justify spending more time on a project than they already do. Or sometimes, people have a fixed amount of time but they're happy to prioritize things people want and will pay for.

(No argument about open-core; that definitely has problems.)

Other great approaches include hosting the software as a service. Depending on the nature of a project, many people may want a service whose primary value proposition is "we'll host this for you so you don't have to maintain and administrate it".

I don't see what's surprising -- companies that earn money selling product can make even more money by cutting costs. And if OSS software gives them an equivalent (or even better) solution, why wouldn't they use it? For any sizable production deployment, the cost of nginx licenses could be applied to hire a number of engineers to help maintain the OSS software.

I don't know what their volume licensing is like, but at $2500/server list price, costs add up quickly.

<<ultimately Tweeting from 45>>

For a split second I thought they tweeted from Trump's account. But then 36 gave it away.

Imagine if they did and decided to declare global thermonuclear war.

POTUS should NOT have an account on Twitter.

Speaking of POTUS, what about Deep Fakes? There should be an international agreement on how nations should handle such emerging threats to global stability.
I’m increasingly concerned about being screwed by non-OSS vendors. Imagine a use case like Slack. Say you have an employee that goes to visit a family member in Venezuela & connects to the company Slack. Slack has been given a mandate to terminate accounts for people in Venezuela by the Trump administration, and now your key employee is cut off from communication, or perhaps your Slack account gets flagged.

When I drilled down into the details it looked like the accusations were all just smoke. It's things like "the law said that transactions from this region should be classified as medium risk or low risk depending on the bank's own judgement, and the bank decided to classify them as low risk", or "the bank provided services to company x, which was found out to be part of a criminal enterprise 10 years later". The only "active participation in money laundering" was that a client company asked them how to send wire transfers from Mexico to the US without violating the regulations, and they told them, which far from being a crime is surely what any responsible company would do.

If you've got concrete facts to the contrary then I'd be happy to be corrected, but I'm convinced it's all just political posturing.
Depends on where the earlier commenter meant when they said "where they were"; the 2017 cuts were just the latest in a long line. For instance, if we rolled all the way back past Reagan's 1981 tax cuts, we'd be up to a 70% top marginal tax rate (it's currently 37%). They also wanted to cut military spending, which has gone up by a fair bit in the same time period, and meddle with corporate taxes.

It's probably fair to say that all this would have a big impact on that deficit.

It's unlikely to cover the 2020 economic-crash monthly deficit, of course... but hard times are the right time to go full deficit-spending to try to prop up the economy. Money printer can, indeed, go brr if it'll slow a collapse. So says mainstream economic theory.
The model of "copyleft if your project is open, pay us if your project isn't open" is one where I have no problems or concerns, and will happily use the open version and recommend that people building something proprietary purchase a paid license. Nor will I typically worry about the motives or future of the project unless I have some other reason to. And the KDE Free Qt Foundation means I never have to worry about Qt going proprietary.
Internet Archive doesn't have "anti-artist hatred", they think you should have first sale rights on digital versions of physical books. They have a legal argument for it, which I think is stupid, but it's a bit different from the 20,000 people on HN here arguing about how artists shouldn't own anything.

Speaking of which... copyright is not a union for writers. A union is a union for writers. Copyright creates an artificial market for their output, but it largely does not dictate how they are paid, only that they must authorize copying and distribution of the work. There are plenty of extremely exploitative publishing agreements out there that copyright law has zero qualms about.

But are those backends complete? I.e. do they support all of Dafny? Last I programmed in Dafny I don't think any alternative back end did.

Also Dafny has pretty poor IDE support. I don't think it has Visual Studio support and the plugin for Visual Studio Code is not written by MS (and is pretty bare bones).

MS really only supports Dafny by employing its creator. It doesn't seem to devote any other resources.

Again I haven't programmed with SPARK before but my impression is that it's getting way more industry use and support.
From my (admittedly) limited experience, paid support isn't consulting.

Paid support surely is, as you say, about calling someone at 3am and having them look into an incident.

From my experience, that's not about helping you get the most out of the product, and a hand in tailoring it to your needs - that's the consulting part, and is usually paid for separately (and at much higher rates).
Public-goods are non-rivalrous and non-exclusive.

It doesn't matter why they might be exclusive. If it's through technical means like DRM (even absent legal support for it) or (blurry, admittedly) needing an exclusive tool such an Open Source plugin for Photoshop, then it's not really a public good. The latter case is arguably a public-good within the "public" of Photoshop-users.

(But I think, an entirely new web browser should be made up instead, in order to be improved in many ways. For example, one thing I want is a ARIA view, but there is also a lot more, that requires changing things that isn't easily or efficiently or even possibly done by the use of extensions. Other thing would be to allow all pictures (mostly animated pictures) to be treated as videos, so that it can be paused, rewound, fast-forward, etc.)

So having the divine be the first cause, the initial answer to: why there is something instead of nothing, is certainly a view on religion (i hope that's a fair summary of the point the article is trying to make).

However, at least ancedotally, its not usually the view that i usually hear religious people espouse. Typically religious people i have met believe in some sort of sacred text with rules of behaviour that was at the very least divinely inspired. They believe that a divine power will intercede on their behalf based on prayer (or other offerings), and so on. All these things imply a deity that has independent will, can be influenced, has opinions on moral questions, etc. The theists i have met do not believe in some abstract first cause deity. They believe in a deity that is very much a being, a maximal one, albeit perhaps very far removed from earthly existence.

So who is to say the "reddit" conception of a "being among beings" is wrong or a category error. If we have to chose a specific conception, wouldn't the most popular conception (regardless of what any particular group's doctrine might say) be the right one to choose? And if we dont have to pick a specific conception, aren't any and all conceptions equally right?
If I can now pay say $100/mo for rent and after UBI I get $100/mo more. If I don't want to quit working I can now pay $200/mo for rent. This means that I would be looking for a bigger place to rent.

Now multiply this across the whole society and it becomes really apparent that landlords who do not increase their rents at all are just leaving money on the table that they could easily get.

Because if my hypothetical landlord would increase my rent say 1/2 of the new UBI increase I would get on top of my salary it would be really silly to start looking for a new place with same price as my old rent since those would all now be worst in one way or another.

Supply and demand it the main driver obviously, but just look at the Silicon Valley and neighboring areas. The rents are absurd partly because of demand, but mostly because the tech companies are paying ridiculous amount of money for the people to work there. If the pay would go down the rents would have to come down even if the demand stayed the same, since no one could afford them anymore. With UBI it would be the opposite. The demand would stay the same, but suddenly everyone could pay more for the same place.

I don't think so, as far as I know all "old" terminals had to be replaced or upgraded in the EU some years ago to comply with the new chip technology.

@lawik not sure if you caught this the other day https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23981563 <- that person proposes an interesting solution specifically in the context of supporting open source software that would seemingly address this fatigue phenomenon you experience: a monthly pool that you can apportion so it dilutes and supports the projects you choose. That way you set the total monthly contribution and then you're just carving that up. Assuming there was a simple enough one-click interface for doing so that could be one way to address this. Of course you'd have to get a critical mass of makers to adopt the standard in order for it to take off (or convince the Patreon's and Github's of the world to adopt it).
