I live in a country with socialized medicine. People trust the healthcare system since we "pay" 0$ for access. (pay in quotes since obviously taxes are significantly higher)

And Drs. I know are great at listening! I'd honestly go as far as to say they listen too much at times; I don't tell a mechanic how to do his job, it's not my place to tell a Dr. how to fix me since I have literal 0 understanding of the human body.

Again, maybe its a socialized medicine vs privatized medicine problem, but it absolutely boggles my mind the level of distrust in what should be a respected profession.

My comments aren't meant to disparage, but point out that colloquial evidence is not a substitute for research and the scientific method. I will call baloney on people who spew it.
It wouldn't be... It would be the end of humanity. The world would keep on spinning.
The moderna vaccine does not need -70c, juste -20 to be stored indefinitely (regular freezer), and even higher than that if you can ship relatively quickly (i.e weeks)
I'd agree. If copyright wasn't valid after death + 70 years

Of course they don't do only that, they also have to spend their time crafting abusive contracts and extensions in detriment of artists and in favour of big recording companies.
Both groups have (approximately) the same size, in the tens of thousands. The first evaluation is done when 90 or so cases have been confirmed, not knowing which group they belong to. The blinding of these subjects is then unsealed, in this case revealing that 90 of the 95 confirmed infections occurred in the control group. This distribution means the vaccine has been highly effective at preventing infection.
So the choice is between running an older OS version that will go EOL sooner, or abandoning the ability to dual-boot? How is that OK?
I have worked at two different companies that have been accelerated by the FDA; once during the HIV crisis for a sequencing application and at a medical imaging company that demonstrated overwhelming quality of care improvements. Acceleration is unusual but not "conspiracy level" unusual.

My former colleagues in the viral research space (the HIV team above) basically flagged this type of vaccine as our best hope for an 2021 vaccine. No one I know from this space thought a 2020 vaccine was ever in the cards.
No the lockdowns and still panicking US Governors crashed the economy.

I’d rather wait for a full FDA test and clearance on the vaccine than rush to be a guinea pig.

This isn’t a movie, people aren’t dropping dead from COVID unless they have comorbidity that puts them at risk.
> What, specifically, are those mechanisms that you think prevent symptoms but allow for infection and spreading?

Asymptomatic spreading. Kids do it with SARS-CoV2 all the time.

In other words: the body sheds virus (cells fabricate virions), but the immune system reaction doesn't cause symptoms.

> Additionally, even if this mechanism exists, why would we care?

Because the virus will keep spreading and killing people as long as < 70% of people remain infectious.

In case the vaccine doesn't prevent much of the spreading, we'd be looking at years before everything is like it was before the pandemic. This is because we're not going to vaccinate 5 billion people in a matter of months all at once (too risky). This will take a while.

Additionally humans would be a reservoir for the virus to evolve in, potentially causing mutations that cause symptoms (years or decades in the future). It wouldn't actually solve the problem in the long run.
Oops, yep, you're right!
Unexpected detection of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in Italy in September 2019
This line of questioning on Startup News is quite amusing to me, I must say. How many of us can really pretend to make society a better place?
Alas, HIV isn't going to be easy - it mutates too fast. But mRNA is inherently safer and easier to produce than other vaccine platforms.
> I don’t think this works either because you can’t meaningfully agree on when light was emitted from one of the clocks.

You can in fact meaningfully agree. You put the clocks in similar reference frames (like “standing on the surface of the Earth”), and accept some small but non-zero margin for error. The fact that a spaceship traveling around the earth does not measure light pulses emitted by these clocks as simultaneous is irrelevant—because we know that the notion of simultaneity relies on reference frame. What we do get is that anyone standing on the Earth’s surface can measure the pulses as simultaneous, within the specified margin of error. This error must necessarily account for the the fact that time progresses differently at different altitudes and latitudes, if your clocks are accurate enough. Because General Relativity is an extremely accurate theory and we have accurate measurements of the relevant physical constants & the mass of the Earth, we can account for the different reference frames and run the clocks at the correct rates so they continue to be synchronized even when they are free running (again, with the appropriate margin of error).

If you are using ordinary quartz clocks, then the clocks probably have enough error that you can ignore relativistic effects. I’m assuming we want atomic clocks if we’re series about chronometry, especially considering how cheap they are these days.

The idea that synchronizing clocks is somehow impossible stems from an unrealistic idea of how people measure time in the first place.
They should have waited indefinitely. WebP has been a big source of confusion for non-technical people I know, trying to download images from the internet.
I agree with your comment that while empathy is much needed especially as you had a very traumatic experience with, what sounds like, a rogue doctor.

The commentator might be implying that your experience, while terrible, cannot justify denying the significant benefits accrued to the entire population. Personal experience is, of course, very important it cannot however guide general policy decisions for large populations. And, it should be noted, that if we all lived solely through the lens of personal experience we would still live in a what we would believe is a flat world and our scientific evidence would be scant.

Not at all and expert, but I think the idea of reprogramming is wrong, as it implies the vaccine is editing DNA (source code).

mRNA vaccines are more analogous to temporarily running a subroutine.
The consequences of the pandemic. The government orders have been a small piece of it.
For my use case, quality subpar compared to the other cloud providers
They don't understand technology, and in this case I don't think they should be told...
Everyone is the hero in their own story. Few people actually gleefully play the scoundrel. The ability humans have to self-rationalize is amazing. And even when folks are doing something they know is wrong, often it gets justified in the balance: the victim deserved it, the perpetrator is Robin Hood and proceeds will benefit those who need it more, the action makes up for a historic injustice, etc ...
It depends on the poster's age group. If they're not elderly or obese, getting the virus is no more dangerous than commuting to work daily or giving birth, which wouldn't normally be described as a "substantial risk".
my late-2013 15" mbp upgraded with no issues, but I do recall reading prior to I stalling and noting that any older, or smaller model of that age was not supported. most of the reports I've read seem ti concern the smaller model and I'm left wondering what did they expect?
I used it couple of times, my wife's laptop came with pre-installed WPS. I definitely liked the product more than Libre Office, it is fast, could fit most of average user needs and compatible with MS Office.

My needs are far from average though, as I mentioned in the post. Not sure its spreadsheet editor would even recognize what's happening in my Excel files.
A knowledge management app built with Apple's Catalyst
What makes this vaccine expensive? Is it manufacturing costs? if so, which. If not, is it purely mark-up?
Also note that it’s only Safari 14 on the new OS releases; Safari 14 on Mojave can’t view them.
What is “the ban”?
These interim results are about as promising as you could expect, which is frankly amazing given it was developed in a matter of months (depending how you count, Moderna says "2 months"). Ultimately, its effectiveness depends on if and how quickly SARS-CoV-19 and its spike protein evolve resistance. That won't really be known until after widespread deployment and depends both on different factors inherent the virus' replication, its spike protein, host factors and how effectively the vaccine is rolled out.

At Google, you can't get promoted by steering the ship.
No, I did not implied that. It was ridiculed because it got approved before proper trials, or at least that's what Western media that I am reading daily told me. I don't speak Russian so I can't read their media to see what's happening there.

And now the same Western media that is praising Pfizer / Moderna is telling me Russian one is on par. So what happened? is the Russian one just as good, in which case past months were used to let people die or is not?!!
Maybe allow users to shorten links for free (without account) so that your domain becomes recognizable. bitly became popular that way

And target enterprises with custom URL's. They look very good

Maybe copy some features adjust has (deep linking and redirecting to respective app stores with tracking parameters)

https://www.adjust.com/glossary/deep-linking/
That's a cool article.

I knew about these folks, but really only as boring names in a history book.

This adds a lot more color to their story.
This is the problem I had in mind when building https://chota.link. I have seen too many broken previews. This little app lets you create short link and specify metatags. Try this short link on LinkedIn: https://chota.link/jVZ2Hd. I tested it and seems to be working.
>Vaccines work by training the immune system to recognize a pathogen when it attempts to infect the body - this is mostly done by the injection of viral antigens or weakened live viruses that stimulate an immune response through the production of antibodies

Not great for that guy’s credibility that he doesn’t even know what a DNA vaccine is. He’s described the kinds of vaccines in wide use. Not genetic vaccines, which work by introducing genetic sequences that encode the antigen, as opposed to introducing the antigen itself.
Honestly, this is what caused me to install it. Have downloaded one video so far - a U.S. government work, so no copyright.
Retargeting and contextual advertising are very effective because the ads are based on data the advertiser knows about you.

Traditional Facebook ads are the digital equivalent of a TV commercial.
I think we misunderstand each other (and I've probably caused this confusion because I said CD 2.0). I think they are looking at reading whole 2D images at once, so not a point by point reading process.
You have to learn how to play more slowly, if you are going to do any tournaments slow play is much harder to do if all you do is blitz.
BNTX's market cap is pretty large already, it's unclear how desirable a buyout would be by a Pfizer-type company. It seems better to split profits / contracts.
It's ridiculous but I agree. Even if facebook blurs the data, we all know full well that it internally uses the full data and all faces or personal details it captures.

Facebook has demonstrated time and time again that it is an organization that considers itself far above any law or ethical code.

I hope it will be illegal where I live.
I don't know if I can afford the legal battle of breaking all devices that approach me, but I feel like someone should do it and fight it out in court.
Tor does not, never has, and never has even tried to, capture "ALL" of the traffic on any OS. It's just a SOCKS proxy, period. If you ever thought Tor could do that, you were just wrong.

There are various third party add-ons for various systems that do try to funnel "ALL" traffic through Tor in various ways. ORBot for Android tries to act like a VPN for the phone. Outboard hardware like the Pi-hole will try to put everything on a subnet through Tor. Tor-centric OSes like Whonix and TAILS put all of their traffic through Tor. You can hack something up to do it on vanilla Linux.

... but so far as I know, there has never been anything that tried to do it on MacOS. Maybe I just don't know about some weird hack that's available, but even if there is one, it's not part of Tor proper.

It's also not something anybody should ever have relied on anyway, because trying to "act like a VPN", on a general-purpose OS that's not cooperating, is prone to be leaky regardless of the OS. As long as programs running in an OS can find out the system's "real" IP address, they can leak it, so if you're serious about containing non-cooperative programs, you need to deprive them of that information.

The Tor Browser doesn't do any that. It just sends the traffic from the browser app itself over Tor using SOCKS, and Apple has not broken that here.

What Apple is doing is obnoxious and unacceptable and yet another reason never, ever to use an Apple product for anything... but it has zero impact on Tor.
Not an anti-vaxxer either but I don’t want to be the first to try something that is basically rushed to fix COVID, which has a 99% survival rate.

Please put it through proper animal and human trials before subjecting the populous to it.
"Video editors" are going to buy a machine with 8GB RAM? (Which, I assume, will be soldered to the motherboard, like all recent Apple products.) Good luck to them, I guess.
And should those people who chose to endanger others and get the virus themselves be denied medical treatment? We're getting to capacity in many cities now. If we want to talk about taking personal responsibility, then they should see it through to the end, and not burden our medical system with care if they knew the risks but ignored them for their own choosing.

Fair point actually. I could see this being used in some testing frame work as selenium as well.
> In general, it _is_ true that people use the Operation System that came installed on their system. Most people are unable, or feel unable, to install an OS themselves and would not feel comfortable taking responsibility for choosing a different OS for their computing. Most do not even see this as a choice they are making.

This suggests that, if given the option, people would buy a computer with Linux preinstalled instead of Windows. Yet, when such things were tried, people did not. Windows is pre-installed because it is the OS people want and need, not the other way around. There are an uncountable number of specialized applications for niche workflows available on Windows that are not available on Linux.

As briefly mentioned by the parent, a large part of the problem is how Linux approaches software: no real binary compatibility, for instance, means that you need this army of maintainers and packagers to keep software working. Who is going to do that for these niche pieces of software? I know that to many developers the idea of not-constantly-maintained software being used by people is an existential career threat and therefore a high crime, but the rest of the world has work to do and is totally fine using VB6 applications last compiled in 2004 because it allows them to actually get things done.
Sorry, I meant just 90 people infected (obviously the vaccine arm has much fewer), but after running the numbers that's actually about right for the prevalence rate we see in the US.
No excess deaths in Sweden compared to the last ten years
“ No one I know from this space thought a 2020 vaccine was ever in the cards.”

I’m not in science, but friends who had colleagues more involved in biological sciences said those fellows were total skeptics that anything like 6-8 months would be possible.

Imagine if this would have happened ten years ago. Think we’d have any prayer for a vaccine? Wouldn’t be surprised if the technology didn’t even exist within some point in the last couple decades.

So in some ways maybe we are ending up “lucky”.
There are also issues with their preview image cache, it's been broken for at least three years already but they still haven't fixed it... Once your url has the wrong image, good luck updating it, you might as well redirect everybody to a new url.
One of the huge challenges of the medical industry. Their metrics are binary but quality of life is incredibly difficult to measure.

That said - I am not advocating for not taking a vaccine - I am merely commenting that the medical industry has some deeply flawed analytics for tracking success.
SolidPython is recommended in a sibling. Are there any others you can suggest?
Filtering any outbound traffic on those is either outright not supported or not worth attempting.
As a non-native English speaker who lives in Japan and speaks some Japanese (and I'd guesstimate that the majority of foreigners in Japan who speak Japanese aren't fluent in English!) I know what "katsu" is but I would not know for the life of me what "cutlet" means. I even just typed "cutley" and had to look up to correct it! So it's indeed a lot more helpful for me to maintain "katsu" than "cutlet".
Ask HN: How do you manage projects in adversarial circumstances?
Hey everyone,
I've been put in charge to manage a 6-months long project that involves many senior stakeholders and many impacted development teams (i.e., they will have to add new items to their backlogs). Now, I realize that (1) the senior stakeholders have conflicting priorities at their org level (siloed, protecting their roadmaps and capacity), which also seems to trickle down to the working level with all the development teams. In addition, this is also work on top of their regular roadmaps, and there is not really an adequate capacity planning done for this additional effort.

Now, it seems far from the "happy path", but how I do I try to turn this around? What are ways I can still motivate all the impacted parties to take on ownership for the project, bottoms-up?

Any references to research/academia/case studies would be highly appreciated.

Thank you!
While I agree largely with most of your points, NASA does have a lot of say in SpaceX's engineering practices. If you read up on the certification process and especially the reviews after the various failures (Crew Dragon tests), SpaceX had to get NASA sign off. Now as long as SpaceX can show that doing something with XYZ works fine, then they can do XYZ.
It is exactly what he needs, holding onto it is going to further destroy him. Honestly when I read his post that was the biggest read flag. That is the hardest part for a man.

When a man invest in love it is very hard for them to just walk away from it, to the extent many of them hold on to it, when the reality is it is long gone.

I will tell you some of the best advice I got when I was in that situation and all of them seemed like they sucked at the time.

The following is what my friends did for me when my ex-wife decided to leave:

My friend John told me, you don't quit a job until you have another job that provides you income. His point was she has moved on, you are the only one stuck here.

My friend Tim at a club, Dude that girl is all over you and you look like a dead fish, you are letting her (the ex) memory make you a shitty date for this girl, who by the way looks much better than she ever did. So you, who have the power over this date is letting her in on your date and ruining it, oh and by the way isn't se banging another guy. He then went on to explain to me that her date was probably doing just fine.

My buddy Joe-Joe who would invite 10 or so girls over for a pool party at our house, every weekend. Who was nice enough to never try and push me, he just knew providing a fun environment, would bring me out of my shell sooner.

But it was finally my buddy Andy that snapped me out of it, by basically showing me, and giving me a tough love talk about the fact that she had moved on.

I wasted months moping and whining over a person that has moved on. In most of these cases, she has moved on, all of these guys seemed like jerks at the time, but they were my real friends, the one really working to free me from the chains that only I was in. This gentlemans best bet is to move on as fast as possible. She is not coming back and the funny part is the only way that she will try to come back is if he moves on.
Others have pointed out that you are misunderstanding what the word "addresses" means. If they had announced that "tough shit, we ain't changing it" that would still be addressing the issue. Addressing does not mean "fixed" or "resolved".
Why was this downvoted? If there's something wrong, please clarify rather than just downvote.
You need to understand, when buying this kind of device, it is not yours. It may be convenient, shiny and powerful, but somebody else decides what it does and that means you are not in control.

The hardware may be outstanding and the OS could have been top choice for me if only I knew it is my machine. As it is not the case, I will be sticking to Linux laptop for good and bad.
Fair enough, I can see your perspective. Thank you. Although to take my position that I don't plan to switch which OS I use and thus claim that an entire community of developers don't want me, that was a bit of a low blow.

On the larger point, it's possible xenophobia is "natural", but I think it pays to be very cautious about what is "natural" or not among humans, what even that means. So so much is our social context. We can look at what social contexts (re)produce xenophobia and which don't without even having to decide what is "natural" though.
