> "...then you are a priori suggesting that we don't, right?"

no, because it was based on incorporating the wealth of (imperfect) information that we already have. your statement started with "But we absolutely need restrictions" and then essentially said "not enough data", which makes that statement an a priori presumption. it could be that no restrictions are worth it, but your statement already ruled that out without rationale. mine didn't rule out restrictions, but rather advocated limited and targeted (high bang-for-buck) measures.

as for the rest, a semantic argument over "lockdown" seems unlikely to be fruitful, for an overly-curt phrasing on my part (as in, losing essential nuance for the sake of expedience). i'd generally agree that an indoor social gathering of sufficient density can raise transmission risk, but an arbitrary cutoff is not so useful. 50 people in a house is different from 50 people in a performance hall. incidentally, that's why distancing is a better general rule of thumb, because it concerns density directly (masks, for instance, don't).

and it's not about overreaction but rather precision and efficacy. once you institute a law with stiff penalties, you're raising the spectre of use of force against the populace, which, in a democratic society, should be reserved for the most extraordinary of circumstances, like existentially-threatening insurrections (e.g., civil war, plotting against a governor, etc.), not, relatively-speaking, small parties (or low-risk businesses for that matter). when provided reliable information and not overwhelmed by distortionary narratives, people will generally make reasonable estimations of risk relative to their idiosyncratic risk tolerances, and act accordingly.

all the rest is rhetoric trying to ramp up tensions and fears so that power can be coalesced and exerted. we just don't need to feed that beast in this case (or in most cases, 9/11 being another prominent example).
When I traded my last phone in, I brought in the charger and was told to keep it -- that they throw power adapters away. No one wants to buy a refurb phone and have the cord suddenly fray a month later.
Serious question: I enabled a Plasma option to make windows transparent when I hover over their corresponding 'application rectangle' (sorry, not sure what to call it) in the panel. It drives me mad but I just can't figure out how I everenabled it. Ditto with transparent menus. Can anyone advise?

In general I'm very happy with Plasma but it does expose UI options that can really harm the experience.
Yeah Google deliberately lies. That's why they're being sued by the state of Arizona, for willfully deceiving users and tracking their locations even if they opted out. [1] They said "with Location History off, the places you go are no longer stored" and then did it anyways.

Apple, for its part, says "Apple doesn’t retain a history of what you’ve searched for or where you’ve been" and there's no reason to doubt it.

IIRC, Norway alerted the US to the Russian hack of the DNC, because they had wormed their way into the video surveillance system at the Russian operations center.

It’s called marketing and brand recognition. Most people won’t care it’s not a literal description of how it works, but they will have heard of MagSafe before and get the general idea.
"Thinks" in that context is inherently probabilistic. No one uses the phrase "I think..." to literally state that they have a thought process going through their head, they do it to clarify that the following statement is based on their own conclusions rather than objective reality.

> Myers Briggs is completely without value, and gives all personality inventories an undeserved bad name! There certainly exist well-validated personality inventories that reflect the scientific consensus that personality can be represented within the Big Five or similar HEXACO frameworks, but they bear no resemblance to Myers Briggs.

That's not entirely true, since two of the Meyers-Briggs axis are strongly correlated with Big Five axes; so something that maps well to Big Five will likely bear a resemblance to about half of MBTI.

If wealthy people suddenly bought up all the food then we would see inflation again. It would be very good because it shifts the balance away from capital to labor.

Imagine you are a billionaire and suddenly the minimum wage shoots up to $100k per year. Suddenly that billionaire's wealth has a lower purchasing power.
Yeah the broadcast layer is the part where a lot of the byzantine protocols breakdown IMHO. Broadcast storms are very bad. There's also the whole problem of tombstone-ing a proposed block if it doesn't achieve consensus fast enough (which is basically impossible to do as a function of time so you end up doing it as a function of a monotonic counter which has other problems).

Anyways, I love all the byzantine stuff but very little of it is actually practical or fast.
It's worse than gameable; it continuous to contribute to "discrimination" based on socioeconomic class.

Your exact example: If you were born into a wealth area, your family likely has extra space for you to live, and you will continue to be paid highly due to living in an "expensive" area.

If you were unlucky enough to be born into a poor area in a poor part of the country, you may have to move home to support your family due to a pandemic. They likely don't have extra room for you, so you have to find and pay for your own place. On top of that, you get your salary cut 50% as an "adjustment".

It is a side effect of a system where the already-well-off will be treated better.

Facebook employees: how do you feel about your work being used to advocate against vaccines till today?

To reiterate: zero credit for doing the right thing after all this time profiting off doing the wrong thing.

Depends whether you are living alone or have a family. I'm fine with peaceful drug-deals in the street but that would be a no-no if I had kids/family. You don't want your 6 year old walking alone around that.

Why so much coverage of Amazon Prime Day? The incentives, of course (2016)
Good old times.
I've replaced my 2016 SE's battery once through Apple ($29 battery lawsuit program) and once myself ($29 and an hour of my time, via iFixit). So the whole phone cost me something like $460 over 4.5 years.

I'm looking at the 12 Mini.

- It doesn't have a headphone jack, so I'll have to buy an adapter to use my chonky set of headphones with it.

- Apple phased out TouchID, and my state is experiencing it's worst-ever COVID numbers currently. So I'll just have to enter my passcode whenever I'm wearing a mask now, which is something like 40% of the time.

- It comes with a lighting<->USB-C cable, but not a wall plug. I don't have any USB-C wall plugs. Am I supposed to only charge this thing off my work laptop, or should I buy a $20 USB-C wall plug from Apple? My current lightning cable is fraying 4.5 years in so I need a replacement.

- The phone is advertised at $699, but it's actually $730 if I want to use it on non-Verizon/non-AT&T (I use Google Fi). Huh?

- 64GB is the same storage size as my current SE, which is just a little too small for me to store local Spotify songs (lots of trips in the mountains with crappy signal) and podcasts. So I'll have to step up $50 for the 128GB version if I want this to last me any reasonable number of years.

So I can either use my current SE, which is still treating me great... or I can cough up $780 + tax for the phone + $20 for a wall wart + $20 for a headphone adapter. So like $900 total.

Maybe I'll pass on this one.
Afaik, the big problem with vitamin d is that you can't take it supplementary at nearly the same efficiency as you would getting it from sunlight.
I am no expert at all, and think nootropics and adaptogens are amazing, and think Dr Shai Efrati (Israeli physician) is doing amazing things with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.

I think the key is finding a right mix of NAD+, resveratrol, some nootropic (I prefer noopept), and if you are adventurous you can look into ashwaganda and ginkgo biloba.

I also will repeat, I am no expert, these are just the things I have found over the years, to be some of the keys in tackling aging, as per Dr. Aubrey de Grey's work, at the SENS Research Foundation.

Sorry, this is rather unrelated perhaps, but I don't think just maxxing out one stat is going to get you to a healthy balanced (near-immortal) setup.

Extra disclaimer: I also really appreciate Ray Kurzweil (who I believe I read somewhere takes over 100 supplements a day).
I'm due for an upgrade and the mini seems to be a really nice option. As an aside, does anyone know what the current limitations are in making a completely sealed weather-proof phone?
90% of PCR-positive subjects in the ENE-COVID test, for example, did also have a positive antibody test. So actual infection numbers might be ~10% higher than the raw numbers from the antibody tests (and I believe that this is factored into the results reported by such studies). It doesn't change our big-picture understanding of the disease.

You are certainly not wrong. This is a major problem in many places in the country. It's gross. Portland and Seattle are definitely much worse than SF.

Hum, pmr is for type erasing allocators, i.e. you need multiple allocators and you do not want to instantiate your templates more than once.

If you want to use jemalloc everywere, just create your own (stateless) allocator wrapper and instantiate your string with it.

In fact you probably don't even need to do that. Doesnt jemalloc provide a dll interposer mode that transparently replaces malloc/free?
I don't understand why datahoarders aren't using distributed storage like IPFS, TahoeLAFS or others instead of relying on centralized services. I know they have storage space themselves, but I bet they're duplicating it a lot, unknowingly (or knowingly) and if they used better storage, it would be for the good of all.
They can do both. Someone lying or their inference being wrong about their gender is yet another new data point.

after today's presentation i'm pretty sure that HomePod Mini is the Apple answer to Amazon Echo and Google Home.

Maybe the HomePod (original) can compete with the Sonos One or Five at sound level but not in terms of features people are looking for listening music such as: virtually all music streaming services available, integration with all the remaining Sonos products for Home cinema or for Home sound system.

To me Homepod Mini is after the home assistant market. The HomePod (original) well it seemed like a shot in the dark now it will most likely get the Homepod mini features.

I also moved from SF to small town Illinois, and oddly enough my spending in SF pre-Covid and in IL now are about the same.

In SF, I had a rent controlled spot and lived with 4 roommates. It didn't matter much because I spent most of my time at work, and had access to a bunch of things in the city and the Bay on weekends. I also ate most of my meals for free at work, and I didn't own a car.

Now, in IL, I have my own 1BR apartment, a car, and spend a lot more on groceries and takeout.

Also, I'm getting a fundamentally different experience. I have more space, but I'd love to go back to city living when the pandemic ends.
Two advantages: (1) the Lightning port can wear out if used often, but the magnets won't; (2) you can attach and remove the phone from a magnetic charger with one hand and without looking / in the dark.

It doesn't feel like google has been a good steward of these archives. They blended usenet archives and google groups together in a really annoying way, content has erratically gone missing (see the lwn link that hprotagonist posted), and have seemingly lost interest overall--the whole google groups product has seemed neglected for years. My guess is the only reason it hasn't been sun-setted is that someone high up needs to remember it to kill it.
Tech libertarian types love the free hand of the market when they're making their inflated SV salaries. Not so much when it slaps them back down to earth.
There have been reports that some of those posts have been vanishing from Google Groups[0].

It's nice that this person/org is hosting these, but I'd feel more comfortable if archive.org (and perhaps another org or two) mirrored them as well. History shouldn't be dependent on some random person/org paying to host them. I thought things would be safe with Google and I was wrong. I'm definitely less confident that usenetarchives.com will be around forever.

> One article says that much vitamin D is toxic

That article you're referring to (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24734774) was a case study about a single person taking 130000 IU daily which is far, far higher than anyone has proposed.
Here's a reminder of relatively recent history:

https://www.inc.com/suzanne-lucas/did-steve-jobs-lower-your-...

In any case not everyone works for FAANG, and even those that do can suffer unfair termination, various forms of discrimination, or other issues.

The reality in the US that productivity has outstripped wages since the 70s. This has been a huge and tragic net loss for general prosperity, because when wealth is concentrated and workers deal with debt and rent-seeking - from college loans, healthcare, high property prices, and others - the cost-of-entry for a viable small businesses becomes unreachably high.

Startups are not s substitute for small-but-profitable small businesses, some of which have the potential to become much larger businesses through genuine organic growth rather than investor goosing.

Unionisation isn't about your personal circumstances, it's about everyone's personal circumstances. Part of it is about keeping wages high precisely because this gives smart creative people to build new businesses if they choose to.

And before someone says "But what about wage costs?" - remember, you are paying inflated costs anyway, but with no benefit. You're paying them to people who tend to be extremely rich already - health insurance companies, banks, landlords, property speculators, and financial speculators.

If you pay them to workers you get the Fordist model of increased general prosperity with more people with more money being able to afford - and create - more of everything.
This is the most dangerously stupid thing I've ever heard. Tetlock is a known academic charlatan pushing his absolutely useless "superforecasting" nonsense which @nntaleb keeps debunking on Twitter. If Tetlock and friends are so good about forecasting the future, why didn't they predict and warn us about COVID-19 BEFORE @nntaleb and friends (including myself) did?

Together with Siri, HomePod can learn and recognize up to six different voices and create a personalized listening experience for everybody at home. So when they say “Hey Siri, play some music” they’ll get a mix of songs customized just for them — picked from Apple Music based on their listening history and personal preferences. And with Personal Requests, they can access their own messages, reminders, lists, and calendars, and make and receive phone calls.
