I don't really need that. My work is my hobby and even before Corona things were intermixed completely.

If someone pings me at 11pm from the US with a major issue and I have nothing better to do, Call of Duty can wait till tomorrow :P I like helping people and it helps relax my mind knowing that in the morning there hasn't been a major escalation building up over the last 8 hours. And they know I'm in Europe so they won't bother me if it's not urgent.

On the other side, if I need to go to the bank or doctor during the day I'll just schedule a meeting. No need to book time off. I love this flexibility. My boss is totally OK with this (and judging by his Yammer/Email activity, he does the exact same). My role is global so I always have colleagues working somewhere around the globe.

Of course it's not that easy for everyone. Some people have a life, kids etc. But it should remain a choice, that's my point. I happen to like a 24-hour society. That also happens.

I heard that in some countries like France and Germany some companies force email to stop working during the weekend. I wouldn't want this. Especially with Covid right now I have very little to go outside for, so the weekends are super boring.

True, but if your evaluating the "success of software" by the code you have already missed the mark. IRL, the cost to build & maintain the software is almost always the determining factor in if the project is a success or not. Building off the shoulders of others is the only reason 99% of projects can be viable.

Ive had multi sys76 machines...

They were best buy for the buck. Although, appl beat them out on chassis - alum frame is BEST - but the guts of S76 is top notch.

The only thing I am pissed at S76 is, is that they changed their vid interface for screens on the same laptop - so I couldnt replace a dead machine with a good machine based on their screen redesign

and they wanted $90 for a fn power receptacle....

Else, I support them they are like 60% apple evil

Nobody is "ignoring" anything. The process for approval includes three rounds of trials with tens of thousands volunteers being closely monitored in a standard, double-blind protocol.

Some side effects are expected. A needle hurts, for example. So the very first act does, indeed, harm. If you consider that needles have been a standard feature of medicine for a while, you may want to rethink your interpretation of that "first, do no harm" principle.

Before needles it was leeches and bloodletting and mercury, by the way. So I don't think harm avoidance was ever as paramount as Paramount may make it seem.

Anyway, and I'm not entirely sure why this needs spelling out, but treatment decisions are always trade-offs involving uncertainties.

Vaccines seem to specifically elicit fear in some people who, as far as I can tell, have a surprisingly large overlap with the group that was chucking aquarium cleaners like a goldfish with OCD just a few months back.

That ('we have 60" flat screen TVs that are better quality and cost a fraction of what a similar TV cost 10 years ago') is not the standard / typical meaning of a race to the bottom. TVs don't have effectively zero marginal cost. A race to the bottom is specifically about a reduction in quality that forces effectively all providers to follow or be unable to compete.

In the case of airlines, customers thought they (only) wanted the lowest price, so airlines (helped by non-transparent UIs at ticket comparison sites like Expedia, Kayak, etc) actually reduced the quality of the product by removing features (pillows, blankets, food, drinks, seat size, seat selection, changeability, eligibility for upgrades, etc).

Premium Economy in most cases is just charging customers for what they used to get in Economy.

It still seems reasonable to fire anyone who sends such a message to their colleagues rather than working through the office's politics more quietly

Can you unpack this a bit? Several employers, past and present have encouraged employees to communicate and attempt to resolve conflicts (presumably, maybe ostensibly, giving them opportunities to work it out as adults and professionals) amongst employees first as the first actionable steps. In fact, current employer has this as a point of policy for interpersonal conflicts barring severe enough circumstances where a reasonable person would say "yes this requires intervention from on high".

That said, why should it be any different in a situation such as this? I feel there may be context to your suggestion that isn't fully stated here-as to why it's reasonable to fire someone over this. Maybe there are implied parameters of just how egregious a situation has to be in your opinion that I didn't intimately tune into?

To me the final sentence reads as a continuation of the hypothetical the author is asking the reader to consider, as a metaphor for the treatment she experienced, not a direct j'accuse to the reader/recipient.
ARM's dominance in the mobile and low-power market was largely a historical accident. In particular:

- At the dawn of the smartphone market, existing x86 platforms were designed for high-performance applications that were too power-hungry for a mobile phone.

- Intel wasn't interested in pursing low power mobile phone applications, and sold their XScale line to Marvell.

- AMD couldn't afford to invest in low power mobile phone applications, and sold their entire handset division to Qualcomm.

- VIA wasn't in a position to invest in much of anything, much less mobile phones.

- MIPS was stagnant and didn't really have a clear roadmap or future, and RISC-V didn't exist yet.

- ARM was available for third-parties to license, whereas x86 was not.

As for efficiency, modern multi-core processors spend the overwhelming majority of their transistor budget on logic units and SRAM -- the cost of decoding instructions is trivial. In addition, many of the more esoteric x86 instructions are emulated in microcode. As such, I don't see how AArch64 would be inherently more efficient than x86-64.
Nice to see that it keeps improving.
I found it frustrating and inconvenient at first. Now when I try to use a browser w/ default Javascript settings I find that I'm even more frustrated than when I started using NoScript. Websites left to their own devices to run arbitrary code on my machine are almost universally terrible to use. Local news sites are, by far, the worst. Lots of sites are terrible though.
Use Stylus, for example I do not like StackOverflow left menu and sticky menu:

.left-sidebar { display: none }
#content { width: 100% /* calc(100% - 164px) */ }

.top-bar { display: none }
body { padding-top: inherit /* 50px */ }

its no script experience cluttered by warning and GDPR consent:

#noscript-warning { display: none }
body { margin-top: inherit /* 1.9em */ }

#js-gdpr-consent-banner { display: none }

Yes, sorry—I know it's frustrating when a later submission 'wins'.

The reason we allow reposts of articles that haven't had significant attention yet is that it's largely random what happens to get noticed on /newest, and we want to allow good articles multiple rolls of the dice. The priority is on the article, not who submitted it. That does make it a bit of a lottery, and it's winner-take-all. There are definitely better solutions possible, and it's on my list to work on that someday. We'll expand how karma is reward for submitting an article (HN could use some karma inflation anyhow) and find some way of grouping related submissions together.

In the meantime, the lottery does at least even out in the long run if you keep posting good submissions.

While people have become more privacy conscious, as far as I can tell it hasn’t actually had any effect on an appreciable amount of user’s habits (well, at least we’ve gone from 15% to 25% of users using an ad blocker in the last 5 years). Either people say the care but in actuality have it lower on their priority list than things like the web working smoothly and getting things for free, or consumers feel hopeless to actually have any control over the situation and are hoping for government intervention. (I personally lean towards the issue being that it’s hard to beat free. While theoretically people might pay 6 bucks a year for a facebook style service if it existed, network effects make getting such a service started close to impossible. Such maps out to all the free stuff supported by advertising.)

I agree with the general consensus of this thread that gathering stats for website specific use isn’t an issue, and that the issue is the big aggregators like google and facebook that are plugged into websites everywhere. The big thing I don’t have the numbers for is how refusing to use a google style service impacts ad revenue. About 15 minutes of searching hasn’t gotten me any closer to figuring it out either.

Is concurrency supported?
I believe you've got it backwards. Many deaths that were probably attributable to COVID-19 were not recorded as caused by it. Excess mortality is much higher than reported deaths due to the disease. In the US some of this was caused by the fact that many COVID victims were just found already dead at their homes in places like New York.

If a manager tells anyone at their company that their humanity is not valued in the company, I would expect them to be walked out the door on the spot.

Waymo is an extremely specialized closed system that can't be generalized to the needs of cross-country long haul trucking, if it could we wouldn't be having this conversation.

The fueling concerns are pretty trivial from an engineering perspective, the problem is one of infrastructure. Yes, industry could prop up some fueling stations, but nothing approaching the coverage necessary to make it more practical than e.g freight by rail.

Security concerns are very real, there is no such thing as "impossible to steal" and the threat of cameras are trivially defeated by way of masks under cover of darkness. Transferring a semi's worth of cargo is only slow if you're not prepared to do it in advance. I also want to reemphasize the shift in psychology associated with removing the human element, criminals are absolutely going to be emboldened by the fact they are dealing with a harmless predictable computer and not a human person that might resist their efforts, cause them injury, or otherwise complicate the risk involved. It's also well known in criminal psychology that people are much more willing to justify criminal behavior they perceive as victimless.

Setting aside my practical objections, yes, it's true that it doesn't have to be better to start, but I think there's no chance it gains momentum since there is a lot of up-front cost and complexity for relatively small financial gain vs just e.g. freight by rail.
Havn't read the article yet but it made me realize a potential skill gap.

How to do research? I'm not a scientist or a researcher but I realize that researching is a really valuable skill and process. I'm certain people have various definitions or what it means to them to do research; but in this note I'm thinking of it as the application of the scientific process. We can research _ANYTHING_--even in our daily lives. For instance, diet, exercises, or technical things. The research process must have similarities across such topics.

The concept that I'm trying to get more insight to, and perhaps this essay will enlightenment me on, is the PROCESS of enduring and long term research. How do you methodically go from not knowing to insight over a LONG period of time where iteration in a necessity.

Are there biographies on scientists,researchers, or technologies that I can read to get this type of insight? An articulation of and detailed execution of the scientific process.

Today I'm working on a custom `ShortUUIDField` (a subclass of Django's UUIDField) so I can stick to standard building blocks internally, but show sortuuids to users.
Yeah...and the article in the op is saying we shouldn't rush to attribute excess deaths to the new vaccine.

Yet all year it's been the opposite with covid. Why have we been attributing every excess death to covid but we shouldn't be in a rush to do the same with the vaccine?

How does this make sense?
That is correct but I think you are talking about a different area of quantum physics than the article is. In particular the Bell paradox seems to show that there is no local interpretation of quantum physics, which seems quite unintuitive with the speed of light limitations, even under a “many universes” explanation.
That article is really something, the first thing that jumps out:

"Second, covid is not some magical entity, it’s a coronavirus, and it behaves like other coronaviruses, and other respiratory viruses more generally. It would be strange for covid to cause symptoms that other respiratory viruses don’t. And since I’ve never heard of “long rhinovirus” or “long influenza”, I’m inherently doubtful of claims that there’s such a thing as “long covid”."

This is just getting caught up in silly semantics, people are experiencing longer term health effects, they are calling it "long covid" for lack of a better name not because it is an affirmative diagnosis.

"On MedRxiv, there is a pre-print awaiting peer review of a prospective cohort study that followed 4,182 people with positive PCR tests... if we assume that this study was reasonably accurate, then one in 50 people who get covid still have symptoms at the twelve week point..."

This is supposed to be an argument that inclines me to think that whatever "Long Covid" is I am not supposed to be worried about it? If 1 in 50 people that get a positive test are still feeling after effects of having what the author believes "behaves just like other coronaviruses" then I think we should be very concerned! Even if truly long term effects only develop in 1 in 500 COVID-19 cases.. that's a lot of people who are going to be sick for a really long time! It would be 400 Americans a day right now. Yikes! That's bad!

I'll take my chances with a vaccine!

(And I know the standard response to this is.. "well, those people are mostly old or sick with something else so you can't really count it that way" but a certain, maybe large, proportion of those people would probably never get a serious respiratory virus in the near or medium term in the absence of COVID-19. It is a really large number of extra sick people, and all at once.)

Also the 4 other coronaviruses circulating thing is silly, obviously the long term effects of the common cold viruses are not going to be comparable if the short term effects are clearly not comparable, it is reductionism of the worst kind.
finally, more studies on the connection between food, gut health and mental health. It's good to see, things start to come together.
Highly recommend the recent book Science Fictions by Stuart Richie which discusses in one chapter how scientists often write the press releases themselves and then the media just copy them almost verbatim. This is obviously a little different because the scientists are working for a company rather than a University, but I think the same thing applies here.
"...these specific peoples by implicitly arguing that their style of dress is less human"

This is an opinion presented as fact. The Dothraki looked cool to me. They wanted to look terrifying.

"encourages people to have an inaccurate view of history"

Here is where the motte of "the Dothraki are historically inaccurate" moves into the bailey of "GRRM does harm!" You can make that same argument of every single fantasy novel that draws from history, which is to say, of every good fantasy novel.

"...Dothraki resemble Mongols, Huns and Amerindians but not peoples like the Turks who were (and are e.g. Turkmenistan) also steppe peoples."

Clever argument, but it doesn't wash

Europe suffered raids, invasions and displacement from horse-riding steppe peoples for millenia. That's what the Dothraki, a fictional nation, represent to the narrative of the story: the instability and existential threat this represents. The essayist can quibble that the actual raiders wore colorful comfortable clothes, but to argue that therefore the Dothraki is a demeaning stereotype is not reasonably defensible, and so he leans very heavily on an offhand quote and the observation that Dothraki armor look nothing like Sioux buckskin. It's absurd.
If you knew how comorbidity worked then you would know why. All potential health issues are listed, but that doesn't mean they're all viable. Also if you die from lung complications, that will also be listed on there even if it was brought on by covid.

At the end of the day there's still only one cause of death. If it's covid then that counts as a covid death.

Interesting how this vaccine's side effect (which are real as per studies, most people have headaches, myalgia, etc...) are already dismissed as "false" but any "long term COVID" symptom which can 100% be explained by anxiety due to the constant fear mongering and propaganda is 100% real
Fair point. "Any" is too strong a word that invites just one counterexample to get debunked. I'd say "in many cases" then, as demonstrated in her Twitter stream and her email. The words like "white men"( such a vile and irrational perspective), "oppressors", "racists" show up often. Case in point, a professor who tells his/her student that the student's life was easy, even though the student had to sleep only four hours a day. Lack of empathy, sure. It's racism without other evidence? Are you kidding me?
