Your bullet 1) is factually incorrect by any measure we have access to today.

"any other influenza" includes the 1918 pandemic. Which had a higher CFR, and that's before trying to account for QALYs: Covid is especially deadly to the old, in a nonlinear way, and Spanish Flu rather notoriously killed those in the prime of life.

Bird flu has an almost 50% CFR. We're lucky that, to date, strains aren't very infectious in humans.

"It's just a flu" is a really bad measure of how bad a disease is. Influenza is terrifying.

2) is almost tautologically true, but it's worth noting that the quarantine measures have been very effective at stopping the spread of other respiratory illnesses.

The excess mortality of Covid is visible, without trying to track deaths from it separately. The average victim is old enough that I wonder if it will remain visible if smoothed out over a five-year period.

We'll know eventually. "Heavy stress for years to come" from post-Covid syndrome is certainly possible; it's not the square upon which I'd lay my chips.
Why is this flagged? This is a powerful opinion and deserves to be seen.
That's why they read your email, to protect you!
Very handy, thanks. I notice that the openxt-ocaml-platform repo uses ocamlbuild/ocamlfind. Life should get a lot easier when we move that to use ocaml/dune directly -- cross-compilation really needs a lot of help from the build system, and dune is moving fast to support these workflows.

SARS-CoV-2 isn't very novel. The long-term clinical effects appear to be fairly similar to SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV. There are thousands of survivors from those earlier epidemics whom we can study.

Obviously we can't just sit around for years and wait for evidence to appear. We'll have to move forward based on incomplete information, knowing that some of it will later prove to have been wrong.
Is it not possible to run linux on the recent MacBook Pro's?
No country's history is entirely pretty. This is about addressing what's happening right now. China is actively working to crush Uyghur culture under their boots right now. This very story is about how they're actively building more "reeducation" camps. American isn't doing anything remotely as bad right now.
The flu is not the "status quo" for COVID-19 since they are different diseases.
That's silly, though. If you meet someone claiming to be 13, you shouldn't meet up with them for sex whether or not they're lying. This is just an attempt to shut down the operations that catch pedos as a step towards normalizing it. Nobody is being fooled here.
I think LDAC should be expected to sound better than AAC or aptX, looking at that Sony.net page. Did you mean SBC?

Keep on the good fight of fighting your weight, star wars kid. May the Force be with you!

Careers are interesting... who wouldn't be stressed with a car in your rear!

Stress is addictive, it's a choice to be stressed, it's a choice to take things seriously, it's a choice to deny, deflect, and downright lie to yourself and make up stories and make excuses, it's a choice to grab that piece of food, it's a choice to not put it down, and it's a choice to swallow it after "properly" (uh oh here comes the stories) masticating every bite into a fine mash by chewing 30 times or more, 30 choices to spit out that food.

Take it easy on yourself, it takes time and focus to sustain enough attention to mold the body into a vision you have for yourself... If you constantly spike that vision with mind poisons known as "problems" or "management", how much awareness do you actually have left to put that doughnut down, let alone be in a state of mind to chose something your much rather be doing than dreaming about tossing Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen and other gross elements in the form of a doughnut into your divine cosmic cauldron?

Your overeating is tied to your choice, simple as that, you are addicted to stress, and you choose the medicine of overeating to mitiGATE and relieve that stress... there's other methods, but with all of them you will still lean into the addictive nature that is systemic to the OG stress addiction. Fighting this, fighting anything is almost always a fire vs fire fight, you want something to remain, resolve?

Give it space... that means allowing it to be, allowing yourself to just be, that is just being yourself, not being the stories you make up about yourself that serve to distract and put you in a mood of self-sabotage and self-annihilatory behavior to persist in the upkeep and to be quite frank, the hard work of doing all of that heavy psychological work and mind games to maintain--part of the way you can motivate persistence is to dualistically and ritualistically swap victimization/villinilization, or in other words you keep moving the goal posts away from you because you really enjoy all of it--You realize that all of it the good, the bad, the beautiful, the ugly... it's all love, and it is precisely this resistance to this love that perpetuates it, the stress, the manifestation of everything you want and do not want.

Dream the dream you want to be in, not the dream you don't, or better yet leave it and give it space as you go explore the unknown.

You got this star wars kid!

Yes, as part of a long-running union busting campaign.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/may/03/boeing-union...

> Boeing’s mere presence in South Carolina was already viewed as a union-busting move when the company first opened an aircraft production plant there in 2011 rather than Washington state, where Boeing had unionized operations. South Carolina has the lowest union membership rate in the United States at just 2.7% of workers. The National Labor Relations Board filed a federal complaint against Boeing for the move, accusing the company of violating federal labor law, before dropping it after the company came to an agreement with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM).

Somebody's an essayist.

In any case, I'll grant you that the 80s cars and CRT theming are retro-futuristic, but those are all surface-level, as Gibson himself points out. However, I think the criticism loses steam if you try to apply it below the surface, even just a little.

Social media, political troll gangs, cheap drones, and military + police robotics played a big part in Watchdogs, and those are all modern or forward-looking. Deus Ex's human augmentation is still forward-looking. AI integration in Detroit Become Human is still forward-looking, even if it isn't terribly imaginative. The interactions of technology, poverty, and crime common to all of these are still forward looking, even if in hindsight they failed to predict some big trends (e.g. social media boosting conspiracy groups and the "traditional hustles" of self-help and alternative medicine).

Regardless, the artists are still using their imaginations. It's the critics who see an 80s car, call it kitsch to get engagement, and miss everything of substance.

I guess Tusky's decision to ban a blocklist a bunch of instances citing that policy is looking pretty prescient, now.
I was there at the same time and I remember the exact same thing. There was a lot of talk about this being used to offset some of the losses caused by any future union strikes and also as leverage when negotiating with the unions.

I also remember that there were consistent ongoing quality issues. Planes from SC would require significant rework when they arrived in Everett.

Well, put it like that, you could probably swap a few terms (feudal lords for corporations, bandit guilds for cartels, etc etc) and tell "the same kind of story" as Fantasy.

I do agree that some (well, most) of the cyberpunk themes are still very much alive though.
I think the firmware is custom (and of course it’s the nexus of hardware and software, so exactly the part that OEMs can best provide the user unique value through. System76 and Pine64 (and I think Purism) provide open source firmware you can reflash yourself for custom keyboard layouts, firmware killswitches, etc., though System76’s hardware itself seems very off-the-self (Clevo white-label). (Edit: And I think Purism Librems overall design with hardware killswitches, etc. are custom ofc.)
I'm surprised that the "+" operator isn't commonly known either in gmail (eg. I can type "johnsmith+345@gmail.com", and mail sent to that address will redirect to "johnsmith@gmail.com"

You made me wonder if Oral antifungal drugs may be effective. Like the ones used for toe nail fungus.
I think something along these lines would be great. The problem with Amazon competing in their own marketplace is that there is far too much information asymmetry -- they know about how their marketplace sellers are setting prices and they know the cumulative sales of all items and trends, whereas the marketplace sellers only see their end of things. Amazon then has the ability to just cut those sellers out as it wishes (either through undercutting, making their own Amazon-branded versions, or even just kicking the seller off the platform with no recourse.

This provides Amazon with the ability to do what financial marketplaces are forbidden: front-running, insider trading, etc with their own "stock" of merchandise.
Sadly not yet but blocking sites for hate speech cant come soon enough.

Do you think that communicating the significant, material difference between the relative increases among the two groups is not important?
i’m not questioning the existence of the conflict, yet your propagation of exaggerated figures.
Bitcoin is not a technology company it’s a technology. It’s like saying I’m investing in the wheel, and stocking up on a bunch of wheels. Or in my opinion, investing in egg salad sandwiches.
This is a useless hypothetical. We know what Gab was and why it was taken down.

If you want to know how a healthy alternative would have turned out, go looking for one. It almost certainly exists, there have been at least a dozen twitter competitors in the past and I know a few people who tried them out. (I can't remember their names, though.)
But that’s not people going to “financial arrangements.” ZIRP does encourage over reckless investment in ventures with low chance of working out, I am just saying it’s different.
But it's a good start, no? And the theory has been proven as sound. I'm guessing/hoping they'll target the higher ranges soon.
For the record, two submissions were combined, the title is not mine.
I ran a lot of calculations and given I had to store terabytes of data, it ended up being cheaper to buy a server with a lot of HDD slots (I have gigabit at home)
But the authors of these apps have no influence over what servers you connect with. It doesn't feel much different from visiting a hate speech website using your web browser, and they (luckily) do not get banned either.
Well, not just Vanilla, looks like three.js is in there too. That's a pretty extensive framework.
I deeply and honestly would love to agree with you but unfortunately I can't based on my experience.

I write a lot of stuff in the legal area (articles, books, contracts, court documents, etc) and there's nothing that comes close to Word.

For some time I had tried to switch to LibreOffice. My goal was to quit Word, which is the only software that still binds me to Windows/Mac (not interested in Wine). I hoped to finally be able to switch to Linux without any hiccups.

Unfortunately LibreOffice is not quite as good as Word. I use many of the advanced features of Word, and the more you use these in LibreOffice, the more you encounter bugs. At one point I had a .odt file with tons of cross-references in footnotes pointing to other footnotes. When I was ready to ship the document I found out that all cross-references were messed up and I had to redo them all.

Now it's true that LibreOffice has a huge and active community that works hard to improve the product, but as word processors are my main and most important tool for work, I need the most reliable software I can get. Unfortunately that is still Word...

On top of that I must add that I do need to properly format documents 99% of the times, and also on this I find Word slightly superior, even if admittedly on this is quite comparable to FOSS solutions. The only quite big problem at this regard is interoperability. Since I know that most, if not all, my colleagues/counterparts use Word, whenever I send a document I need to send something that "will just work" for them, which is a docx. This means that using anything other than Word might give some problems in relation to formatting, which in same cases is pretty important.
Gab bans people openly and credulously discussing marxism. I have experimented with and experienced this directly. So, it fails my litmus test for "an uncensored platform."

And it's a bit comical, because Gab as a community experience is much smaller (in my perspective) from even weird sites like minds or funky social blockchain plays. Why they felt the need to ban discusions of marxism or a general strike is beyond me.
That has nothing to do with it. Read stuff.

Nice description! Even a simple ALU has a lot more complexity than you're giving it credit for, though. It's not "just" a bunch of gates, but is usually highly optimized with dynamic logic and pass-transistor logic. Addition in particular is not "simple", but uses various tricks to avoid carry propagation delay. And the various ALU operations are smashed together in clever ways to avoid separate circuits for XOR, add, AND, OR, etc. Even XOR is not a "trivial logic gate"; building XOR from e.g. NAND gates is surprisingly inefficient, so processors use a variety of special tricks for XOR. My point is that actual ALUs haven't matched the simple description since about 1972.
The equal time doctrine was eliminated in 1987: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FCC_fairness_doctrine

>> The fairness doctrine of the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC), introduced in 1949, was a policy that required the holders of broadcast licenses to both present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that was—in the FCC's view—honest, equitable, and balanced. The FCC eliminated the policy in 1987 and removed the rule that implemented the policy from the Federal Register in August 2011.
Sorry, I meant in the US. I can easily see them in places with healthier attitudes about sex.
I think censorship of hate speech is good, but doing so through the play store is a terrible idea. This will just promote more side loading which is not good for the security of android as a platform.

The play store needs to be fairly permissive in terms of content, so that people keep their phones secure. The primary purpose of app review needs to be security and quality, not censorship and rent-seeking.
If you're building for the web, konva.js apparently can do that. I recently spent a few days reasarching for libraries to implement simple CAD functionality (similar to what you would use for a gerber file viewer), and finally decided to use that library.

The other options I considered were:
- pixi.js (very popular and active, very high performance, too low level for my needs)
- fabric.js (also very popular, similar to konva but does not support layers functionality)

Konva seems to be very actively maintained, and has been around for several years. Users in forums seem mostly happy with it. Very simple to use too (I'm just starting with it, so not much experience).

Insecurity. "I'm the manager, therefore you WILL do as I say!". These people can boss people around, but they don't know how to manage.
I don't see how you can fight this. You can try to ban the videos, but the technology is eventually going to get so good and spread so much that you will be able to do this on demand. No video uploaded to a website necessary.
I never would’ve guessed F360 was Qt based. It almost looks like they’re all custom widgets, but I haven’t used Qt for a bit, so I could be wrong.
It has been mumbled in many a kitchenette that if St Louis were to sink into the river a lot of these problems would go away. There is something more cynical and, some argue, rotten about the way the MD executives are running things.

10 years ago they were cutting research but keeping the management chain. Fewer people to bill hours for that the same overhead. Yeah that probably didn’t work out.

ETA: the US govt is substantially responsible for this situation. They had the bright idea to reduce the diversity of defense contracts and that they meant to accomplish this by having some of the contractors merge. I believe they actually facilitated the Boeing-MD as well.

So I’m not sure how them taking over entirely will fix this. Defense contracts have always been political chips for Congress. Giving them more control won’t help that.
> Just to point out, a part of discoverability I guess is familiarity with the underlying principles the UI follows as well.

This is one reason why UI patents are not a good idea. When different platforms are forced to adopt differing UI patterns because they can't do what their competitors are doing, you get the current mess.
Hello HackerNews! Super excited to read all your comments (last time I was here with audiomass.co).

This is meant to be an experiment of rendering a full 3D scene in html/css. Of course there is a ton of (vanilla) JS to handle pretty much everything - but the main point is to explore what good ol' divs can do in a 3D context.

It might seem a bit off, because I am not a good artist/world builder, but it contains various features such as lights and shadows calculation (rendered on divs though background images + blend modes -- try clicking on the candle). Billboarding and sprite effects, geometry culling etc, as well as scalene triangle computation (which allows us to convert actual 3d models to html elements - https://pantelis.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/0/css3d/readme/t...)

So it's a hobby for people who are already working with unencrypted radio?
Any evidence at all that self-improvement is under attack, or are these all euphemisms for something else? Maybe "pick friends based on shared values" means "I wouldn't let my kids play with kids from the other side of the tracks", which should indeed get some pushback.

One USB-C cable into an LG USB-C monitor. I'm not saying there aren't issues with MacOS and external displays but my experience on a daily basis is consistently good.

The same cannot be said for my experience docking and undocking the T480s with the same monitor and cable.
not really. it's just saying "this is mine, it's not public property or a public service, and thus i get to manage it how i want." I think MOST people would agree that that's a reasonable approach.

just because a lot of people rely on the google play store doesn't mean it's a public service in the legal sense. It's a very private piece of software that is NOT open source and is very obviously owned and managed by a single entity.

just like you get to choose who you let in your house. they get to choose how their software is used.

I feel like the opposite is true and already here. No need for a real implant when all my phone has to do is ding.
How so?

The first hypocrisy is the defense of the right of a business to make arbitrary decisions w.r.t. service (not bake the cake), while simultaneously demanding that the business not have the power to refuse service (condemning private censorship).

The reverse position is not hypocritical in the same way, because condemning discrimination against customers on LGBT grounds is not at odds with censoring discriminatory speech - in fact, the two positions are aligned.

You could try to argue that private censorship is itself a form of discrimination, but most people who hold the second position would not concede that the people who practice hate speech are a minority worthy of protection - so for them, no discrimination is occurring.
