Yeah I guess you're onto something there

I don't see why so much fear about DLs (and yes I've hurt myself once or twice - which is less than on other sports btw). And yes if you do it properly it's ok.

But I guess the issue is people trying to overexert and maybe not getting all the cues, and/or it's easy to "slip" and end up doing it with bad form and it requires good coordination (but maybe less than power cleans)

Low intensity, warmup, of course go for a PR once in a while because that's fun and maybe doing it more than 2x week is going to take a toll on your CMS

It's a reputational thing.

We call on the great and the good because they usually have no skin in the game, so they're impartial. They have a reputation to uphold so they'll do the right thing.

My understanding is that -80c cold storage isn't widely available. The Ebola outbreak might have shown how to get small numbers of doses into a warzone, but scaling this up might prove to be a logistical difficulty.

It means reduced severity so that people still get ill but you get 90% less people than you would expect hospitalised.
It was said (arguably in the news, so, nobody knows if true) that the mutation found in the mink populations in Denmark has a significantly different response to antibodies, in particular, they are less effective.

This is why OP is asking and mentioning the minks in Denmark.

This article was more interesting than it's title made it sound, IMO
There are lots of programming environments on iOS with sharing. I had gambit installed, there's pythonista which even has special support from official Apple apps like shortcuts. I'm pretty sure there were multiple C interpreters.

Apple stopped enforcing the no interpreters rule for years until just now. I honestly can't imagine going back to having the list of approved software for one of my most important computers dictated by a publicly traded company. I'm shocked other people tolerate it!
“delta” is another one worth looking at. I like the look of “dog” a lot! Also, TIL the EUPL, which looks rather interesting.
Ebola was localized. COVID-19 is not.

I like your optimism, and what you said isn't incorrect about Ebola at the time, but I don't think it's correct about our current situation. How many locations globally have this level of refrigeration? Given that there would be high demand for it, wouldn't prices on any available refrigerators exceed what even the most altruistic companies and organizations could pay?

This still needs to be solved. We have a lot of entrepreneurs, investors, and engineers reading this, so let's not be hasty in hand-waving over something serious.
isn't the customer the government? are people on the street actually going to have to pay for this?
>I'm feeling a deep-seated wave of relief that I never thought possible. Like waking up from a year-long nightmare. Thank God.

Moderna is also only weeks behind Pfizer/Biontech here with a very similar technology and manufacturing capability of hundreds of millions of doses. We'll be seeing the first EUA's by December, and shots in the arm before the end of the year. Pretty incredible that we can just science our way out of things like this. Humans are awesome.
> Matthew Walker's Why We Sleep is another example of a book offering good advice

There were actually several people challenging the claims made by Matthew walker, probably the most exhaustive of them is Alexey Guzey's critique of 'Why we sleep'[0]. The general point is that he takes scientific evidence and then incorrectly infers from it conclusions that fit his narrative.

Hey, original author of the Peer Production license here.

AMA
I'm not a vaccine expert, so when vaccine news comes out and the broader market reacts extremely positively to this news it just gives me confidence this is the real deal.

There has been other vaccine news in the past which my friends/family talk about excitedly but the broader market didn't budge much.

I don't see any problem in using it a general barometer for this sort of news.
Here's an idea:

- Move all documents to a simple doc server like idk Alfresco

- Any any all single read requests to this server are authorized after biometric confirmation of any parties involved, which are then added to the users' "file".

- Any one use of this data that can be construed as malicious carries 4 to 8 years of jail for anyone involved in the chain of custody of the specific bits of misused data.

You don't need superstars on the project, you need the right balance of incentives around mucking with it.
U.S. legal question:

Is there anything unlawful about offering to cover legal fees for everyone wanting to pursue good-faith legal recourse (including arbitration) against a particular company?

For example, suppose I'm a mega-billionaire who simply finds Facebook's conduct abhorrent. So I offer to pay for the Binding Arbitration fees of every Facebook user who has a plausible claim against Facebook.

And would the legality of that change if I was majority stakeholder in one of Facebook's competitors?

A chromebook can be an excellent SSH terminal. Cheap, light, and a decent keyboard. You can install a Linux container, and inside that, run ssh-agent, so you load up your keys just once.

The one major annoyance is the lack of a caps-lock key, which is replaced by the "do-anything" Google search button. So you have to press that and right-alt to turn on and off caps-lock.

Since they are standard across all chromebooks, I've come to appreciate the dedicated navigation keys, volume, brightness and screen lock. I use those a lot more than I have on a regular laptop that mixes those with the Fn keys.
> Politicians often say one thing when in opposition and do the oppositie when in power.

Totally agree, it's all talk and no do. Does not change the fact that intending to do so (or at least pretending the intent) would not make you a progressive leftist in the us as the author suggested.
Zoom isn't going anywhere
And yet, the officials selected for office were more likely to be land owners or merchants, or their friends were. And the more intelligent you were, the more likely you had a privileged upbringing and a particular set of values.
I don't think it's worth looking at individual stocks in this instance, and I think you're not understanding why Zoom would drop on good vaccine news.
> Not sure people realize how much scale modern agriculture has.

I do, I've admitted to be obsessed with the topic and have spent a large part of my life dedicated towards it. Look at my posts to see what I've done.

> Um, food riots were an absolute MAJOR thing in antiquity and right up until only very recently (<50 years).

This is very disingenuous and deflecting comment. What is being argued here isn't that food scarcity didn't take place, for that one really should look towards currency debasement, peasant uprisings, and the clashes in slavery and indentured servitude as well caste systems and feudalism as the likely culprits. Disease and blight both Human as well as crop (like the potato famine) also play a significant part in this story.

But what is being argued is that the advent of CURRENT Ag practices, those reliant on those inputs, aren't commonplace as you are making it out to be in the total History of Agriculture as a whole.

But it must be said that scale means nothing when the most obvious byproduct is disease (heart disease and diabetes kills more than thing else in the West and obesity has been endemic for some time) and destruction of the environment along with it. And that's where we are.

> Urban farming doesn't work at scale.

Urban farming, logistically speaking, is pretty much how most of Europe was built. The wars changed a lot of the landscape of many Capitals and metropolitan areas and displaced many farms outwardly as distributions and supply chains expanded, but in my experience with 15+ European countries I lived/worked in most of the country-side is built in such a way where the cities surround the farms/orchards/vineyards outwardly. They served as a sort of nucleus, which makes sense if you were going design a system to serve a growing population and it's civilization.

The exception being coastal areas that seem to have a more spontaneous pattern about them, likely due to port city trade/imports.
There is no specific antiviral treatment recommended for COVID-19, and no vaccine is currently available.

Germany is planning to establish centers for vaccination exactly to avoid problems with the continous cold chain. (People travel without issue at ambient temperature. They even prefer that to other temperatures;)

I would assume that other nations will adopt similiar solutions for vaccines that have ultra-cold storage requirements.

These are very sad news. The browser market is getting more and more dominated by Chrome. The good old days of Opera & Firefox are gone.

I have been using Vivaldi Browser for the past four years. It's the most feature-rich browser I found and the team behind it is trustworthy. Their privacy policy specifically says they do not track me or collect information on my navigation history.

But although I've not used Firefox in years, I still don't want to see it die.
If you get scammed by buying an used phone and you didn't go into settings and/or a diagnostics menu well I'm not saying you deserved it but...

People learnt to check iCloud lock status before buying an used/stolen iPhone.

Grandma don't know how to access diagnostics? She can and should ask her techie grandson for help when buying an used phone.

There is absolutely no excuse for this purely anti-competitive behavior.

FWIW I'm not an Apple hater, I think their laptops and phones are the best out there.

But I have an android instead of an iPhone because I can't stand not being able to install what I want in iOS, that's a deal breaker for me.

And if they go the same route with MacOS I'll switch to Dell+Ubuntu.
I see what you're saying now, that the microcode would also need to be published and studied, and it would also be necessary to ensure the delivered microcode matched the published microcode. I thought you were saying that the use of microcode would complicate verification of the hardware.

If it's open hardware, I presume they'll publish the microcode.
Seeing the light at the end of the tunnel means it's more important than ever to isolate and stop this third wave ASAP.

It's hard enough to see loved ones die or to suffer life long side effects if lockdowns only delay it. But to have it happen just a couple months before a vaccine was available would be incredibly hard.

The prospect of a vaccine should make isolation much more bearable mentally. We're past halfway, folks!

As with the NPfIT/CFH, the main problem around NHS data is wrestling control of it back from the big players and actually building a standard around the main concepts of what medical data should look like. It goes beyond the medical record (HL7 etc) to stuff like appointments and prescriptions.

TBL making a framework for this kind of thing is all well and good, but when iSOFT, Accenture, Fujitsu and their friends all ignore it or try to shoehorn it into their current systems it all falls down.

> It’s on the accusing party to provide that evidence and they haven’t.

But that's what I'm saying. What measures can we put into place to allow them to do that if it's actually true, or rule it out if it isn't?

I'm asking for a good way that someone could find evidence that someone else e.g. mailed in a large number of ballots fraudulently, and you're telling me that there is no evidence of that happening. Well yeah, that's the issue. What I want is a way to distinguish the case where there isn't evidence because it isn't happening from the case where there isn't evidence because we don't have a good system in place for detecting it.

I want the ability to show conclusively that this isn't happening if it isn't happening, not just a lawyer's argument that absence of evidence is evidence of absence.
Liberalism has failed. It was a great truce between political factions and (not all that different) value systems. But the value systems are drifting further apart. Conservatives and liberals no longer tolerate each other and technology has made it easier to coordinate and carry out mass illegality.

The future is more authoritarian states that don’t espouse neutrality but firmly embrace a value system and enforce it. We are seeing this already. In the US, the political battle is now between left authoritarians and right authoritarians (grudgingly dragging right-liberals/libertarians with them).

This is awful for people with liberal (left or right) sensibilities because it raises the stakes of politics. But there’s nothing we can do about it. Only authority can hold our societies together at this point.

Democracy will probably survive, but liberalism will not, except in its vestigial form. In America (unlike Europe), the government will not come for you for expressing your opinions, but it will indoctrinate your children against you and it will increasingly limit the exercise of freedom of conscience. It will not arrest you for publishing an article, but it will also not stop monopolist private platforms from censoring you, and will in fact encourage that censorship as responsible.
That's the popular view but I don't think they've been as irrational as lots of people think.
We don't know that. It might be that your body just doesn't become symptomatic, but you are still able to spread. In this case everyone vaccinated should be considered a super-spreader because they will continue to do what they were before.

Note, the above scenario seems very unlikely. However we don't have enough data to rule it out.
The way these studies (most of the big trials finishing up soon, and this one too) are set up is that they measure the percentage of people that will not get symptomatic covid-19, so the only thing that is measured is whether they get symptoms or not. So the result is that 90% (within a confidence interval) of people who are given this vaccine will not develop any covid symptoms. Transmission may be impacted, and the data will reveal hints about this, but it's impossible to draw hard statistical conclusions about that, and in general a different type of vaccine technology will be needed to end transmission and thus the pandemic. This will save countless lives though, and may end lockdowns, so a great day nonetheless.
Oh, that's good to know! My account is well seasoned from years past, even if it slowed to a trickle a few years ago before eventually going into full zombie mode ~18 months ago.

The difference between videos of people celebrating because they thought Trump won and videos of people celebrating because Biden won were stark. I'll say which side had near complete mask compliance for anyone viewing this in the future once context collapses: the Biden crowds.

I wonder if epidemiologists can extract any useful information on mask efficacy from infection rates in these places.
> Most modern consumer tech products do not exist separate from the company and are not "Buy it for life."

Adding a FB account dependency renders the device useless after the fact, for some owners. This seems like a violation of First Sale doctrine, and hopefully gets smacked down in court rather than accepted as a dystopian new reality.
The only reason this ‘bargain’ existed at all in the first place was because of the GPL and other more restrictive licenses which encoded this ‘bargain’ into their verbage.

The current version of the ‘bargain’ - use MIT or BSD and expect more participation as a result - has never been the norm. The norm is corporate programmers taking whatever code they can and using it.

The norm is a cleanroom implementation of open source software written because companies would rather pay for that implementation rather than muck around in open source licensed code (I watched Oracle do this with several MySQL feature/bug fix patches).

And so here we are. Yet Another MIT License Regret.
I love the idea of Solid and really hope it gets experiences wide adoption.

You forgot the obvious middle ground, milk them for every penny.

If we had multiple classes of IDs you'd see every damn government transaction that requires ID come with a surcharge or different fee schedule for people using the variant that can be obtained without being a legal immigrant because those people can't complain.

To commit fraud at the level required though just isn't plausible in a national election. Even in a close state like PA, we're going to end up talking about 45k+ votes. In MI, 100k+ votes, WI 20k+ votes, etc... All these states have mixes of R/Ds running things, and any fraud claims quickly ends up in grand conspiracy fallacy territory.

This is not some 1000 vote situation like FL in 2000 (which was actually much more complicated than everyone paints it out to be).
I have a garden of about 400 m2. So yes, there are different 20kg bags of fertilizer in the shed. Ammonium nitrate being NPK 34-0-0 (wiki), I think I can get pretty close to that with boosting fertilizer (like 25-5-5 or something). The point is that one could write a hit piece with only "true" information about me. I even have both "rightwing" and "leftwing" extremist propaganda in my house! (Say, Nozick and Solzjenitsyn. Or Nietzsche and Orwell.)
It would be interesting to see if he actually reported those cases to the relevant authorities. The Electoral Commission takes voting fraud pretty seriously:

Don't use words like "a lot".

Is "a lot" 1% or 80%.

Hard lockdown causes 100% to suffer, but we save the 1%.

A soft lockdown causes the 100 to suffer, and we only save "flatten the curve" lives. Which according to NYT ventilator stats saves 12% of people. 1% times 12% is 0.12%.

No lockdown and 1% of old and obese people die.

As a note coronavirus is 4x more deadly than the yearly flu and kills the same demographic.

Are we overreacting on a virus that is on the same order of magnitude as a flu?
The thought didn't even cross my mind that they'd hold the vaccine for political reasons. Just the press release. Holding the vaccine itself for political reasons would be murder on a mass scale.

It is great news.

I didn't see the case numbers but I've inferred to arrive at 90% that there were 9 cases in vaccinated group vs 85 in controls. (95% C.I. 80-99%)

Very interested to see forthcoming results from competitors that don't face the -80 degrees issue.
Thanks, that does sound upsetting.

What I meant to ask, though, was whether you saw liberal or conservative folks sharing these?

Personally I'd only seen them shared in conservative circles... Wondering if it's more an example of "one side taking an extreme comment and applying it to everyone on the other side" (like many on the left have done with racism etc) or an actual movement of mccarthyism.
Book review: Who will cry when you die
The government could, and any medium-sized corporation could as well. Ahoy, industrial espionage!

Don't forget the Moore's law as well (even though it's taken a hit lately). Come next year, it will cost 15000, in another few years it's 7500, and some time after it will cost <1000. In the meantime, the encryption standard's complexity will be the same (because the legislation rarely moves that quickly).

And also, please remember that the journalists and human rights activists use encryption to keep their correspondence concealed chiefly from the government. And there are other governments on this planet, not just US.
I found that strange too. Diverse is a relative term, not an absolute one.
> With respect to your second point, I see what you mean but I still don't think that's a negative of Go.

It is a negative of Go, because Go pushes you into the pit of failure by its design: it is much, much harder to do the right thing (send deep copies of objects over channels) than it is to do the wrong things (send pointers or shallow copies over channels).
Hi all, the author here.

I wanted to create a programming language with the following properties:

- Class-based

- A JS/Swift/Kotlin like syntax

- Bytecode generation

- A clear distinction between front-end and back-end so at runtime, we need only the VM related code to execute the bytecode

- Lightweight and easy embeddable

- Extensible/customizable via bridge API(s) exposed via delegation (no need to hack/modify the code)
