The BBC had an interesting article on the "hidden protection from COVID19" from T-cell "immunity":

https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20200716-the-people-with-...

The article references this paper:

https://www.cell.com/cell/pdf/S0092-8674(20)30610-3.pdf

"Importantly, we detected SARS-CoV-2-reactive CD4+ T cells in 40%–60% of unexposed individuals, suggesting cross-reactive T cell recognition between circulating ‘‘common cold’’ coronaviruses and SARS-CoV-2."
As you rightly noted, an article wont go into those details :). you are rising a valid point which we have addressed. Happy to explain if you PM me
OP here, sorry for that. Usually I don't post links that do that, but apparently my adblocker removes that modal automatically so I didn't even realise it was there.
I love that model, I can subscribe for a month to see if I like something and then either go lifetime or dump it.
Have you got some source to cite, please?

It's not the impression I have. I saw photos of large crowds, chanting and singing, etc. at the protests.
I'd argue if you can manage to write 10,000 line imperative programs that are correct as soon as they are compiled:

1) that's amazing, some of us aren't smart enough to do it without functional programming

2) I bet you could write 2-3x as much functional code and maintain the correctness. Reason being understanding doesn't require keeping track of mutable states in your head.
It was meant as a separate statement to the iPod/iPhone one, separate innovations that (I would argue) Apple majorly popularized or brought to the mainstream. The iMac G3 and PowerBook/iBook G3 brought USB and WiFi (Airport) to the masses, respectively. The iMac G3 famously came with FireWire and USB as it's only peripheral connections, while the iBook was the first consumer laptop period that included WiFi standard, and IIRC Apple released one of the first consumer WiFi routers as well.
Please don't do this on HN. If you know more, it would be great to share some of what you know so the rest of us can learn. If you don't want to or don't have time, that's cool, but please don't cross into personal attack. It only makes things worse.

Another option someone else proposed was to replace the current binary "Male" and "Female" divisions with something like "XX” and "Open". The XX division would be limited to athletes with no Y chromosome and low testosterone levels. All other athletes would go to the Open division.

I don't know whether that's a better solution but it might be worth considering.

There are a few sports where sex / gender really are irrelevant, like shooting.
Their marketing is bad. Great product, but piss poor brand awareness.

In 4.x they added DSA[1], which lets you avoid the global state a lot of the time. There's still some, but much less.

I do agree, though, that opengl is somewhat a mess, and vulkan really overwhelming.

The vindication - to my mind - is that if broad government enforced lockdowns were truly effective then Sweden should be an extreme outlier for their general region, which is Western Europe. They're not. They’re about middle of the pack there, and as others point out there’s chance involved to a large degree. Belgium introduced lockdowns but is much worse off than their bordering neighbors and Western Europe. Sweden has a large immigrant population which for various reasons have resulted in a lot of worse outbreaks like say Nothern Italy which had lots of immigrants from China and Wuhan. So essentially lockdowns don’t seem much more effective than chance in many measurements.

Commodore Pet: introduced in January 1977 at the Consumer Electronics Show in Chicago. What was shown had many differences from what eventually shipped, but Commodore started accepting orders. They only shipped 500 machines by the end of the year and it is hard to find out when the first ones actually went out.

Apple II: introduced on April 17, 1977 at the West Coast Computer Faire. It went on sale on June 5.

TRS-80: introduced on August 3, 1977 at a press conference at the Warwick Hotel in New York and was available for sale.

Radio Shack/Tandy and Commodore were big companies. They were later joined by Atari, Texas Instruments and eventually IBM.

The other players in the personal computing market back then were self financed (MITS, IMSAI, Ohio Scientific, Processor Technology, Cromenco, Northstar, Southwest Technical Products Corporation, Altos and so many others).

Apple stood apart as a venture capital backed startup. We later got Compaq and others but by that time none of the self financed companies were around anymore.

Apple is remembered as the number one in personal computing until the IBM PC came along. In terms of revenue that is true, but in terms of units shipped the much cheaper TRS-80 and the Pet dominated the late 1970s.
Hi :)
yes I think that you probably are missing something.
All the immune system helpers you've mentioned mighf very well work just as advertised, but that doesn't mean that the combined effect of several immune system boosters will be the expected sum of the individual effects.
Things interact, and stimulating the immune system is not best done through special dietary regimes.

Agreed. I am a rare breed, I am an enthusiastic Biden supporter. And a very enthusiastic Harris supporter. But I see the Democrats ripping defeat from the jaws of victory yet again.

The problem is pearl clutching. When every. single. thing. Trump. does. is an "ohh the humanity!" panic moment, the actually terrible stuff he has done is drowned out by all the not-that-terrible-but-still-bad stuff.

This happened in 2016. The Trump campaign ran on 1 message. Clinton is corrupt. Emails? Corruption. Ties to Obama? Corruption. Clinton Foundation? Corruption. Every single attack line focused on that one point. Whereas Trump was a joke, then a sexual abuser, then a Russian asset, then unfit mentally, then this then that. And while all of those may have been, to some extent, true. The noise overran the signal and no clear attack ever formed. So it was "Clinton is corrupt" vs "Trump is so many things but it changes every day". All these virus hit pieces, and the military support hit pieces, and so on and so on are all _true_, but it is all noise. Whereas Trump is saying that Biden represents the fringe left, and that he will bring protests and unrest to the suburbs. Or he will take away 2nd amendment etc. All focused on him being a radical leftist. Of course he isn't a radical leftist, but it is one label and Trump is going to hammer it to victory.

See you in 2024
GameStop considers installment plans for Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X
The original source article states that the amount was $12k, not sure where the $24k comes from. The Vice article also characterized their actions as "silently lobbying" without any details on what that actually entailed. Did Amazon hire someone to take meetings with the law makers on this issue? If so, that seems entirely reasonable and not at all sinister...
I can do game streaming now without an issue @ 1080p. Even latency isn't bad @ 25ms to 30ms ping time. Probably not what hard core twitch gamers want. 5g isn't performing much better yet, Ookla shows ping times about the same, but it is supposed to come down to about 10ms (1ms in theoretically optimal circumstanc. read: never for actual users)

Streaming VR would be a valid use though, the resolutions there are much higher.

The problem is that data caps will severely limit this. I can play an hour of streaming 1080p gaming before eating through almost 20% of my data cap. I usually tone it down to 720p. Data caps haven't actually improved that much over the years either: Now I pay $20/month with Mint for 8Gb. The supposedly "unlimited" plans from Verizon start at $70 and have an effective cap of 15Gb. Compare this to around 5 years ago where things were around 5Gb, if memory serves (and mint didn't exist).

The backbone network capacity that mobile networks tap into isn't going to get any cheaper for providers, even if 5G signals bouncing around their own network have higher bandwidth, so I don't know how much 5G will actually reduce mobile providers' costs per unit of bandwidth if it significantly alters the peering ratio of backbone traffic interchange.

Given this, I skeptical that new high-bandwidth applications will be able to get much traction, at least not before 3-5 years of additional product maturity & capital costs to providers for the upgraded hardware have been covered and they can gradually lower costs toward the marginal cost of production.
I'm not concerned at all about spending money without trying it. I check reviews for everything I purchase, especially for my kids, before I buy anyways, at a minimum seeing someone use it on youtube.

The problem I have with in-app purchases with kids, is that it's very vague and open ended, and it's getting promoted to my kids. There's no guarantee that pricing will be fair for future content or features. I prefer the initial expense over the lack of transparency. I also prefer the family sharing standard with Apple's Arcade... I can't just pay for an in-app purchase for one of my kids and not the other(s), or there'll be hell to pay.

That's just me though. I'm very happy with Arcade and being able to keep them away from ads / in-app purchases very easily through it.

Upscaling is 'real' in the sense that it exists, and for animation in particular the results can be quite satisfying.

But the technology to add missing detail will never exist; we must be content with a realistic facsimile.
yes, but that's why it doesn't just "print money". the fed is never going to simply print money to pay off debt because that would necessarily clobber inflation and dollar value policy. I'm not sure why people are downvoting this :-/

The dangers in some sports when people are at different levels is great. Football, hockey even baseball can result in death.
> Do you really never need to see what a passed-in function actually does in your FP code?

I'm hesitant to say always, but I can say:

- in imperative code I never feel comfortable without inspecting the passed in function

- in pure functional code, I rarely feel uncomfortable taking a pure function at it's word
Evidence is plain as a day to see: no "reams" of any kind have surfaced in 4+ years in spite of the entirety of the deep state working overtime to unearth them. While absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, the latest switch from mere misinterpretations and quoting out of context to brazen whole cloth made up hit jobs that dozens of people deny _on the record_ suggests that the DNC is out of ammo.

If you eliminate all usage of the 'highly processed meats' such as ground beef, chicken nuggets, sausage, etc., you may make a dent in farm animal populations, but the high-value cuts will still keep the meat industry going.

That's correct. I just think saying "most aren't buying" gives the impression that it's not popular, when in fact it is a pretty widespread product. Not to mention Alexa being added into tons of other products such as smart thermostats, home theater speakers, etc. The number is only growing.
There's lots to read! Unfortunately, separating the woo from the real...

AFAIK, it's unclear. Spark gap radio (and some interesting observations about lightning strikes) indicate that you can "do stuff" to the Earth's electrostatic sphere, but whether or not that means you can resonate it? And then use that resonance as a way to transmit power? Not clear. (and ofc even if all that works, what're the side-effects?)

AFAIR, most of the "of course it wouldn't work" critiques posit something like a radio broadcast model; instead of the OP's microwave beam, just a microwave broadcaster, essentially, which ofc runs into inverse square law issues. But that's critiquing an entirely different theory of operation, so...

I suspect it's either unworkable in practice (the "resonance chamber" is too complex/dirty to properly resonate) or unfeasible (resonance chamber too damn large), although I wonder if the work done on wave-displays (where you use wave interference patterns to display text) would allow you to deal with those issues. I also wonder if the same ideas writ tiny could be used in MEMs, but that's ridiculously idle and uneducated of an opinion - I know next to nothing about MEMs.

I'd start by looking at spark-gap radio, and progress into Tesla's work from there.
I'm also from Portugal and know our stats well. We're not doing well, and haven't really done all that well in the past either. Comparing Sweden to their 3 immediate neighbors makes a lot more sense.

How do you reconcile the fact that this would still require local storage or generation resources at the receiving end? If to make this safe there are lasers to detect beam intrusions and shut off the link, users who require a steady supply could never depend on your technology.

This is due to the fact that there is no way to reliably forecast when a bird will fly in front of the link and shut it off. Since the receiver will still need storage or generation, it's probably more economical to just do that in the first place.
Somebody brought these burgers to a cookout, and I gotta say, they went faster than the real meat did!

I tried cooking them at home on the stove and it was a disaster, but they were awesome off of the grill.

They definitely need some good sauces to really make the burger, but they texture and taste were both really good.

I really hope they can drive the cost way, way down. If these were side by side on the shelf and priced $2 less than the "real thing", they'd take over a good chunk of the whole market in a very short time.

That's not how editorial pressure works. Chomsky detailed it quite well, but in a few words:

The advertisers react to "wrong" coverage by withdrawing support, the chief editor is very attuned so he assigns the right people to the right jobs before trouble starts, and the journalists so assigned naturally work quite sincerely. No actual orders to publish or withdraw articles need to happen.
Interesting, but I wouldn't want them to do that at my funeral.. maybe a week before or something
Whenever I read about Murakami novels being translated, I'm reminded of his writing process for his first novel, "Kaze no uta (The Wind Song)". He wrote the novel in English first, and translated that English version into Japanese. His reason being "if it is English, my vocabulary is not that great, so I'm forced to write in short sentences, which creates this natural rhythm. Kind of like an 8 beat." [1]

Being bilingual, I often find myself pondering whether I should write something for myself in English or in Japanese for tasks such as note taking or journal/blog entries for myself. More and more, I'm finding that my writing in English is clearer, and more to the point. Not only that, but my thinking is structured in a more productive way, so I can write at a faster pace.

This was not meant to be a comparison of languages. We have enough of those discussions with programming, why would we talk about Natural Languages and risk angering a whole nation, instead of just Java programmers. Maybe my Japanese is no longer at the level of my English. But when somebody like Murakami also says that he wrote his first novel in English because it was easier for him, I feel there might be something there besides my English being better than my Japanese. Something worth exploring at least.

There are many great things about Japanese writing, the kanji characters bring about conciseness to the writing. I can glance at a page and quickly get a sense of the contents from the face of the characters much easier than English text. The characters feel closer to pictures. I also love the style of the "Bunkobon", which is a smaller sized book, which can fit inside a pocket. I used to carry those everywhere with me and pull it out when I had a moment.

The novels and stories are great. People like Haruki and Souseki and Ranpo are my heroes.

I guess my Kokugo teacher would have liked for me to mention the beautiful poetry that arises from Haiku and the seasons, but those things are no longer practical use to me.

On the other hand, there are also many mental blocks and barriers that I face when writing Japanese. Finding the right Kanji characters is one thing. That's probably attributed to my poor memory of kanji characters. Another thing is sentence endings: Desu/masu and dearu/da. The Desu/masu is a more respectful tone. Dearu/da is authoritative and sometimes regarded as casual. So now in addition to wondering whether I should write in the first person or third person, I have to worry whether my reader will be offended by my writing.

Anyway, would love to hear from other multilingual people on their views of language preference and differences.

> AFAIK Epic did their move by pushing "legal" iOS code, then doing an over-the-air update of adding non-Apple payment system.

No, the code was hidden in the app itself, just disabled via server-side flag. After the app was approved they then flipped the flag to enable it.

Source: Epic admits this in their legal filings.
Beans also have tons of fiber. You can easily get 20 grams of mostly soluble fiber from a bowl of beans.

Very detailed list of recommandations.

Do they apply to other Garbage-collection-based languages?
Sometimes people who were more infamous are better remembered because when they die, nobody really wants to hold back on the juicy dirt on them. For example, the details we know about Stalin's private life are enormous because very few people needed to have him preserved in a good light for history except for a handful of true believers.

Maybe this service will help people remember the dead after they die because it will help catalog all their exploits that they would have otherwise have gotten in trouble for had they been alive.
What's so bad about reminding people to "Make sure you trust it before installing"?
> But one would also expect death rates to be higher initially due to our ignorance of the disease, so front-loading could be risky.

Yeah, the front loading strategy pretty much presumes that there will be no effective treatment or it will come too late to do any good. That may or may not be true.

If an effective vaccine is developed, then Sweden's strategy will be the opposite of vindicated.
It's fairly regulated here. The regulation says that the companies that own the poles are obligated to sell that space to any other telcos that want to rent it.

It’s generally a myth that vegans don’t get enough protein. There are tons of vegan based proteins and Americans are obsessed with maximizing protein intake where you really don’t need to.

There’s plenty of vegan athletes and weight lifters. If they don’t have issues as an elite athlete I doubt the average person will have an issue.
Hmm was just talking with the author of jooby and its benchmark, he pointed out he just copied one of the docker configs [1] from someone else, which explains why a lot of the benchmarks have similar memory profiles.

The jooby author also said he deployed this particular framework with as little as 512MB, which sounds reasonable. So a bunch of JVM implementations may be using "java -Xms4g -Xmx4g", so perhaps the results are not so useful, at least when it comes to the JVM.

This reads so good, it almost reads too well. It's an incredible story that, if true, has never been told in thousands of years of literature.
