I've been interpreting the situation as:

-- most cases are asymptomatic.

-- some asymptomatic cases have e.g. detectable heart and lung problems.

-- some people have long term consequences.

...these points are not mutually exclusive.
I think that's a natural selection bias. Most people are either fine with reddit and therefore don't care about finding alternatives, or they aren't interested in what Reddit has to offer, in which case they ignore it. Even if they'd be open to an alternative that's better, spending a lot of time on a subreddit focused on alternatives, shopping through curated lists of them to try them all out is a pretty high investment of time and energy.

The kinds of people who are going to spend a lot of time doing that are likely to be people who like how reddit works a lot, but have an ax to grind against some aspect of it, and usually that aspect is moderation. Most normal people who interact inoffensively have very few interactions with moderators. It's only going to be controversial people who gravitate to that sort of thing, and any platform that's full of people who frequently court controversy is bound to fill up rather quickly with insane freaks.

>whether a new 2020-era genre is needed.

The idea that a new genre could be created because critics concluded that one was "needed" is the daftest and most out-of-touch thing I've ever heard...
I actually wrote an article on my blog that is making fun of the "Ham Radio Is Dying!" or "[This Radio Thing] is going to save Ham Radio!" crowds:

If you have multiple cores then the OS’s scheduler doesn’t matter much.

In one thread, do a loop of:

loop:
movq [rsi], 10
addq [rsi], 5
cmpq [rsi], 15
jeq loop

(Or however you write that with correct assembler).

In another thread with the same value in rsi, do:

loop:
movq [rsi], 100
jmp loop

Ensure these threads run on different cores. You would expect the loop in the first thread to eventually terminate. The probability distribution of the time it takes to terminate would probably be informative.

Would it terminate on this and chip? How would the distribution be different?
Well my dream would be as we open up the licenses different people would be on the radio.

I agree, that today it likely is a monoculture of older people who really like radio equipment.

Gleam v0.11 Released
Honestly it's somewhat telling that Automation for app review can get messy fast and that Google should invest in Apple's approach to app review (but I also agree that the poster is extrapolating the app denial into something much more than what it is)
"asymptomatic" in the Covid context means "no external symptoms".

One of the quirks of this disease is that it does damage to the lungs and reduces oxygenation without any obvious external signs (see the reports from doctors of people texting when their blood oxygen levels were otherwise extraordinarily low) and there are now reports of people having lung damage when they otherwise did not present as sick.

So yes, it appears that it is possible to have long term damage even if it didn't seem that you were sick at first.

It's not a desire to scream about sensorship. It's more about how the rules are arbitrarily enforced. And how every app's fate is in the hand of two big players, so you're sol if they ban you. Even if the ban is a mistake, good luck getting it reversed unless you're going viral.

Ham radio is all about governments getting in the way. You can't do anything without asking a government's permission, and that permission gets revoked if you try to hide what you're doing by encrypting something. Also, don't even think about broadcasting without giving your license number, which is tied to your real name and address in a public database.

It can be nice to open up a book and flip through the pages to get a quick look at it. By contrast, book-previews on sites like Amazon.com can be obnoxious with blocked content and inconsistent behavior.

I think I'd have a dimmer view of the transition to digital media if it were to remain exactly as it is today. But I tend to think of it as an evolving thing; I'd expect features like book-previews to significantly improve over time.

They also banned all images from the Netflix film "Cuties"

https://www.newsweek.com/4chan-bans-images-netflix-film-cuti...
James is wrong, this is Netflix's fault. The same "scam" would work under a variety of circumstances because Netflix relies on something it has no reason to believe is true. Maybe you signed up to Netflix but your house mate thinks she did, she gets an email because of Eve, now you're both paying for Netflix, but actually she's paying for Eve's account.

Netflix could make this mistake with postal addresses even, if for some reason they used postal addresses. You get a letter from Netflix, you don't notice it's addressed to Eve, who had stupidly written your address instead of hers, you pay for her Netflix.

This is a data protection violation, data processors have a duty to take reasonable care that the personal information they have about data subjects is correct. If you need it, make sure it's accurate. If you don't need it, don't collect it.
Anyone can make changes, but it's far fewer people who are paid to make changes, and even fewer people paid to polish the experience. Doing the detailed work to make applications "feel good" to use is very difficult, time consuming and the returns aren't immediately obvious. This is not an area of strength for either Windows or Linux. Apple and apps developed for their products tend to be a lot better in this area.
Absolutely, though the gap is somewhat niche. Even for e-readers, the amount of people who still care about e-ink is getting smaller. In my peer group everyone moved to ipads or whatever (I don't know how they can stand it, but...).
That's been a go-to backgrounder for Tom Clancy and other military/spy thriller writers for decades.
At least as far as the UI is concerned:

- No focus-follows-mouse options means I can't layer windows in a way that accelerates my workflows. Having to switch between windows constantly is a giant speed bottleneck for me.

- No keybinds for quickly resizing and positioning windows as far as I know. I only use the mouse to quickly position windows and even then just use alt-drag on my Linux desktop.

- Animations. Anything that doesn't just instantly do whatever I told it is wasting my time. I don't need pretty or shiny.

Of course this is my own personal experience, but I am extremely less productive on Mac and Windows compared to Linux due to these and more.
RF completely achieved its objectives in Ukraine, Georgia and Syria, without putting a "we have won" show.

Sure, there are sanctions, because Russia actually annexed Crimea.

Russia knows very well that teritory grabbing in itself is pointless in the 21th century, Russia grabbed enough territory to nullify any chance Ukraine or Georgia will join NATO.

Don't get me wrong, as an eastern european, I hate what Russia stands for, but militarily and geostrategiclly, they know very well what they are doing, because they cannot aford not to, unlike the USA.
Heyo, I'm Nate! Long-time lurker :)

In quarantine, I've been doing lots of data analytics challenges. Since I'm new to data analytics in Python, I spend most of my time furiously browsing Stack Overflow to find the right functions :)

At school, I learned to do data analysis in a spreadsheet. Because they're so visual, data cleaning and manipulation is easy. I wanted this simplicity in my Python workflow.

So I built Mito! [1]

Mito is an editable spreadsheet in your Jupyter notebook. Pass in a Pandas data frame, make the edits you want, and Mito will automatically convert your edits into production-ready Python code.

You can clean, filter, find/replace, and use standard spreadsheet functions in Mito, giving you the visibility and ease of a spreadsheet with the power and repeatability of Python.

It's also a great way to get less-technical friends involved in your Jupyter projects - they can contribute their spreadsheet skills while learning Python!

I'd love to hear your thoughts about how this might be useful to you. I'll be in the comments with my co-creators aarondia and jjdr123. You can see it in action here! [1]

Me too, been going there a long time. Though it has had its own share of public labor disputes with employees over the years.

That said, the local support really is quite good and as far as I know the company hasn’t been in real dire straights.

>The pandemic changed the landscape, Powell said...its Amazon sales slowed so she decided to focus on the bookstore’s own website.

I like Powell’s but the site wasn’t really very good. It was like so many other companies that have somehow been caught flat footed when they should have been hiring and building excellent online experiences _around_ their core value offering years ago.

This is with acknowledgment that the company built out an entire area to do online sales years back.

Powell’s could have or still can build its own GoodReads or similar engagement tool but they haven’t and probably won’t.

So long as the company is competing like an online bookstore I don’t think it will ever compete with Amazon in potential sales.

There are no gold-standard longitudinal studies on the impact of COVID because it's only been around for a year or so. There is a substantial amount of preliminary research on so-called "long haulers" and on indicators left behind in asymptomatic patients such as heart and lung damage.

I'm not sure what omissions you're talking about, or where you're looking for this stuff and not finding it. I recommend listening to the podcast This Week In Virology which is run by infectious disease experts (including some dual PhD MDs) and covers the bleeding edge of the research. A lot of people are out there doing their best to gather and synthesize the limited data we have right now.
They are the second best track pad, but I'd say there is still a significant gap between that and a Macbook Pro trackpad.
I don't like this type of content. At all. But having Google or similar decide for me is freightening. More so are the people who buy into the idea of Google & Co being benevolent dictators.

Marginalizing ideas that breed on marginalization is to me a fool's errand. Light the ultimate sanitizer.
PiSight Brings Back Apple iSight
Big 4chan apps like Clover got banned off the play store long ago. The reason given was nsfw content, but in the app you had to manually add nsfw boards, much like Reddit's nsfw communities. Picking and choosing which social media platforms to ban has already been a thing.
A home is not a platform at all, let alone a public one open to everyone, anonymously and without needing an invitation. It's a personal and intimate place.
I meant more with regards to the Internet and the "post-truth" era we are supposedly in, at least in a media context. From my perspective every media source has become intensely partisan / there is no single mainstream media narrative anymore, which is a new phenomenon.

+1 for Tom Clancy though. I grew up reading all the Rainbow Six books.
I loved the technical book store too but it was always too good to be true. It was fun while it lasted.
When I opened up YT Music today, almost the entire scree was taken up by a link to a political playlist. I don't want to participate in politics — I just want to listen to some background music while I work. Why is Googling silencing one bunch of creators and promoting another bunch? How is this good for Google, the country or the world?
This is not the case. Don't assume goodwill from Google.

> The rationale they gave is that hate speech appears on these apps,

So does in countless app on the store, and not in the third party content, but app themselves pretty much, and Google don't touch it.

A much more rational assumption is that Google sees the Fediverse as something that can come to steal their cattle (eyeballs,) and they have a plan to subplant it.

You will very soon see them turning even more picky, and eventually remove even censored fediverse apps.

They are repeating the trick they did with uBlock. First, they say do a purge, with an option for the most resistant to "play along," and a few month later, they pull the rug again. This way, they evade an immediate backlash.
Hard to take someone saying "the Internet is for End Users" seriously when they're working to implement QUIC, a purely corporate needs fulfilling step backwards for human people.
After the (disappointing) release of Duke Nukem Forever, the title of the single most awaited game in history was overtaken by Half-Life 3 (or, maybe, Half-Life 2: Episode Three).
There's a big difference between government censorship and internet company censorship. Both are problematic but other than that they aren't in the same league.

CPUs run Tomasulos algorithm
( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomasulo_algorithm ). Then the outputs of Tomasulos algorithm allows for out of order execution across multiple execution units.

Note that Intel chips have many (at least 10) execution units, and AMD also has 10. You need to split instructions to the different pipelines for efficient execution. I forget exactly how much... but far more than one pipeline in any case.

If pipeline0 is busy doing a divide, run additions in Pipeline5. Tomasulos algorithm converts typical assembly language into this multi-pipeline form. It also keeps track of which pipelines are busy, and finally puts things back together in the right order when done. (Division can take 80 clock cycles, while addition takes 1. You gotta stall the results of the addition instruction until after division is complete. If division came first in the machine code)
I have the same headphones. I've had that issue too, but only a few times. It might be relevant that I use them almost exclusively with my iPhone, rarely with other devices.
“What Apple wants” does not trump consumer protection laws.

In fact, this becomes even less so, because by having acquired enough market power that they can dictate terms to just about everyone through controlling a marketplace, this triggers additional safeguards against misuse of that power, and in particular, safeguards against misleading the consumer about their options.

It is not unlawful to acquire market power, but abusing it is a path to billion dollar fines.

The danger here is viewpoint based discrimination. It should be illegal for a big platform to shut down certain points of view when these points of view are legal and expressed in a normal manner. You can shut down spam without harming the principle of free expression because you can express any idea in a way that isn't spam.

The law gives you a legitimate and stable line that you can draw between allowed and disallowed speech. It's fine for a platform to censor what's illegal, because in a sense, we all agree on the law and have a say in its content. But we have no say in big tech content policy, and that's what makes it illegitimate.

My basic point is that it's infuriating and wrong for big tech to impose its values on the public. A public space that's privately owned is still a public space. A free society is one where you don't get barred from public spaces because of your opinions.
Other people have touched on that and I've opined on it in the past, I don't think this is the thread for that. I think you'll find HN is a divided community on golang. Myself I find the language... kind of insulting... in its lack of basic modern constructs. I find its emerging prevalence to be a concerning trend, and I think it's going to lead to a lot of brittle, boilerplate code. Obviously others disagree. I'll leave it at that.
I appreciate the enthusiasm, but look at how few tests are being done in Tokyo though?

https://stopcovid19.metro.tokyo.lg.jp/en/

It's tiny, Tokyo, often not even breaking 4000 in a city of 14 million.

Not to mention it's difficult to get tested without meeting certain _criteria_ or pay 30000Y. I know people in Aus and the US countries who have been tested multiple times by now for free.

The testing is hopeless, the results are tallied up by faxes sent around from different wards in Tokyo and are delayed by a few days. Really, it's a pretty sad state of affairs.

I think it's nice that whatever numbers Japan is presenting are on the down trend, but the narrative is also tightly controlled no one knows what to really believe.
It is an interesting take, but once you look beyond the obvious, the critique is reminiscent of "Nothing new under the sun" trope ( they phrase it as a minor insult -- Akira fan fic ). Not exactly compelling argument in my mind.

Personally, I think interest in Cyberpunk may have declined ( and oddly increased in mainstream DND ), because, frankly, we seem to be living in early Cyberpunk universe ( powerful corporations, nascent augment technology.. ).

edit: Then again, Cyber 2077 may re-ignite mainstream interest in the genre.
It's very generous of you to assume that this isn't garden variety dumping. Once the competition is gone we're reliant purely on Walmart's generosity and have zero assurance they won't do the sane business move of recouping their previous losses.
Do Mastodon apps report your browsing preferences to google? If you browse with chrome, google knows what you browse.
You'd think so, but nope! In addition to the fact that about half the emails are in Spanish (my doppelganger appears to be a Central American doctor?), all of them seem to contain the bare minimum of info that would allow me to actually contact the person in question. And, ya know, you'd think a hotel or a financial institution that is notified they have someone other than the actual customer's email on file would be quick to correct that, yet so far I have never received so much as an acknowledgement from anyone that they will correct their records and try to seek out the account holder by other means.

I've marked most of them as Spam at this point, so hopefully Gmail's filters are simply learning to automatically send anything in Spanish to my Spam folder.
Maybe the world has shifted its gaze but BLM protests are still going strong out here
Historic revisionism as an subgroup of hate speech is a prime example of slippery slope and moving of definition. I would add "fake news" to hate speech.
Who what now? Zoom? California? Because of that one squatting case?

Whatever it is that you are referring to, it sounds political and can't possibly have anything to do with the topic at hand. Save it for a different thread.

We invaded Nazi Germany in response to their own invasion. Nobody is willing spend their effort to stop genocide unless they have another motive. For example, I only hear about the Rohingya genocide when people use it as an argument to break up Facebook.
Exactly. This is Google drawing the line on where this "hate speech" is from and they believe that such "content" can be accessed via the Fediverse.

To see how ridiculous this sounds, Google might as well completely take down the entire social media and internet browsing category on the Play Store since I keep seeing the same content from both extremes on all these platforms.

Just wait until you tell them to take down their own browser since you can find this "content" with a simple search. They will soon realise that "drawing the line on hate speech" is more tougher than solving leetcode CS questions.
Yeah, this post sounds fake and wrong and should be rejected. Japan is most likely the most hygienic country on earth (okay, Singapore may beat them). Sure you can find some backwater somewhere in Japan with worse hygiene than the USA, but the overwhelming majority of that nation has levels of hygiene which make even the cleanest parts of America look like a pig pen.
Government databases should be free for the public to access or restricted only to government entities. Selling to limited classes of private buyers is incredibly shady.
The only reason Podcast Addict has been restored (multiple times) is that it's high-profile, and the owner raised enough stink to cause widespread (enough) outrage about this. Otherwise, whether through malice or incompetence, it would be gone forever.
