Thanks for point it out. A developer told me that this code snippet was sufficient to conclude that the ACPI wakeup was broken, so I misinterpreted it to be "the method was not defined" (while totally ignored that any AML code must be executed by the OS). Just RTFMed quickly, hopefully I've reached the correct understanding: "_PRW" is a definition of wakeup capability of this power button, the first argument "0x00" means its event is located at register GPE0, bit 0, and the second argument "0x00" means it's capable of waking up the system from ACPI S0 ("power on"), which excluded all low-power states like S3 or S4 - which was probably why I was told that S3 wakeup was broken.

Is cooking crappy work? I’m a man, but I would love to spend a lot more time cooking. I do all the cooking on weekends and holidays/vacations because it is so much fun. I love it when I have my six week sabbaticals since I can cook everyday.
Thats an interesting definition of capitalism that excludes the part where the capital was accumulated. Probably that's why the libertarians say "free market capitalism" in order to exclude the mixed market and autocratic versions.
Those with platforms have always had the opportunity to lie to large groups, but extending that ability to every single person seems like an EXTREMELY BAD "solution."

Historically there's been a burden of proof for wild claims because it's been hard to get a huge mass audience. And people with those audiences were reluctant to repeat whatever wild bullshit was proposed to them if they couldn't vet it themselves.

If you didn't have your own credibility, you had to convince those who did to run your stuff. The cost of this is that it's slower to break things, and some stuff gets missed.

Unmoderated internet platforms with algorithmic jumps between otherwise-unconnected publishers let you borrow and hijack other people's credibility and platforms.

Why those platforms shouldn't be allowed to have editorial control - given that maintaining a certain reputation will still be critical for their long-term success - is beyond me and seems to have obvious un-American problems (infringement on their own private rights).

The trade-off being desired also seems fundamentally bad. More people being misled more quickly seems like a worse situation than slower breaking of news and the ability to suppress some stories, given that we were still able to break those stories you mention in the past. (Of course, I don't know what else might have been more widely reported in the past... I'm having to rely on a "we didn't feel like we were living in a totalitarian dystopia in the 60s-through-80s" assumption.)
Lets say im a current Teams user. If you write a law that forces Microsoft to make me start paying for teams, who are you helping? Me, the consumer? No, you're bailing out Slack using my wallet.

That's not pro-consumer. That's anti-consumer. It makes me poorer and both Microsoft and Slack richer.
Ouch, you think I'm trying to "win" an argument? I just want to speak to different people that know more about this topic than I do that can answer my questions.

Should you be forced to publish and host things that you think are terrible lies? If so, why? If not, why should YouTube?

Not making a comment on the validity of their claims, just trying to understand what you are saying - a private organization should be legally compelled to spend money to host ideas that they think are harmful? How does that work in practical terms?
This submission directly violates HN guidelines:

I think it’s much easier to be a high paid technologist than it is to be a high paying model. Both are difficult, no doubt, but there are vastly, if not infinitely many more models who are barely scraping by earning almost nothing.

I knew of one “talent” agency that was trying to get early on the Instagram model phase who had employed no fewer than 100 absolutely stunning girls who each were barely averaging a couple thousand followers. At least as a no name at FAANG I would have a cushy salary.

How do you know the reasons why someone chose a Tesla?
...in the USA. And actually, EMA has similar information on their pages on the whole Europe level. But that is beside the point.

The point is not the H1N1 vaccines used in the USA in general, the point is not Arenaprix, Focetria or even Pandemrix used on populations of non-Finnish ancestry, and the point is not the use of adjuvants in general.

The point is the problem which GSK's Pandemrix used specifically in Sweden and Finland created.

If you read that page, it refers to a paper from 2018. If you look closely, 4 authors received money from GSK, but it is not relevant. The relevant parts are that the paper:
1. Actually found increased rates in Sweden, "Other than elevated narcolepsy IRs in the period after vaccination campaigns in Sweden, we did not find..."
2. Did not examine Finland at all.

The most impacted country was skipped since it was the other signalling country. This may seem weird, but the purpose was to establish whether Pandemrix and/or other H1N1 vaccinations were generally safe elsewhere.

And, so, yes. There is no conspiracy, in general, H1N1 vaccinations are safe, for most people.

However, let us now go to the specifics.

There were and are unfortunate Finnish and Swedish children, who have HLA DQB1*06:02 and who, together with the proteins present in GSK's Pandemrix, possibly in combination with exposure to A(H1N1), developed narcolepsy because their orexin-producing cells in the hypothalamus were somehow damaged through an autoimmune response.

So, interesting fact: use of Pandemrix increased narcolepsy rates in Finland and Sweden. This connection was due to the genetic specifics of Finns and the contents of the vaccine itself.

My point, which I want to re-iterate, is this: these kinds of connections cannot be seen with some months of clinical testing, especially not when there is an immense pressure to succeed. Any company getting problems with their vaccine would see their stock price collapse.

I saw and remember what happened the last time. Now I want to see more testing before I commit.
Anything you take out of a Thorium-fueled reactor is going to contain Uranium-232 and its decay products, which emit easily-detectable and dangerous to nearby living things gamma radiation. U-232 is much harder to separate out from the useful U-233 (which is the fissile fuel that Thorium is converted into) than Uranium 235 is from Uranium 238, so it is very hard to extract clean safe fissile material from a Thorium reactor.

This means that a Thorium reactor is really hard to get material from for a nuclear explosion. Any material you do extract is going to be screaming "I'm over here" to any nearby gamma ray detector, and will be dangerous to handle.

But if you just wanted to make a dirty bomb by blowing up a small Thorium nuclear plant with conventional explosives, spreading highly radioactive material all over the place, that sounds much more feasible.
Kind of, see other comment. There's no guarantee by Pfizer that the vaccine keeps people from transmitting. They've said that. It seems they've only tested that the one getting the vaccine doesn't develop symptoms. Hence h3cate's

> What will you having this vaccine do for anybody but yourself?

We don't know if the vaccine can substitute the mask for the time being.
Don't blame the children; they don't know any better.
Why is it that we have to ignore nuances in these arguments? We never had unrestricted free speech in this country. There is a whole Wikipedia article about it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_free_speech_ex...

In addition other democratic states have strict limits on free speech such as Singapore: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_14_of_the_Constituti...

After all even “democracy” is nuanced here in the states. Obvious examples from our past include the wholesale disenfranchisement of women until 100 years ago, Jim Crow era laws, poll taxes, and more. Did we have democracy then? Do we have democracy now?

Did we have free speech when broadcasters in the USA had to abide by the Fairness Doctrine? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/FCC_fairness_doctrine. Our system has it’s faults. But one can’t say that we ever had unfettered democracy or free speech, ever.

At what point is speech considered abuse? If you make the analogy between speech and network traffic, we intentionally censor “abusive” traffic to save our networks from collapse. Could one make the argument that entities with an interest in destabilizing our democracy should not be able to inject propaganda into our discourse because “free speech”? I think it’s a valid argument to have and a nuance that we have to contend with.

There are no absolutes. Trivializing this with a snappy trope of “democracy can’t survive without free speech” is disingenuous IMO.

I would argue that the right of business to not do business with anyone they don't want to is very much American (regardless if it's right or wrong).
Scientists are suggesting that it will be somewhat less effective at preventing transmission and asymptomatic infection than it is at preventing symptomatic infection.

From the New York Times:

“Preventing severe disease is easiest, preventing mild disease is harder, and preventing all infections is the hardest,” said Deepta Bhattacharya, an immunologist at the University of Arizona. “If it’s 95 percent effective at preventing symptomatic disease, it’s going to be something less than that in preventing all infections, for sure.”

Still, he and other experts said they were optimistic that the vaccines would suppress the virus enough even in the nose and throat to prevent immunized people from spreading it to others.

"The courts have shot down the the lawsuits on procedural grounds without looking at the evidence."

This is basically not a true statement. You can see for yourself here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-election_lawsuits_related...

Here's one example. It clearly wasn't decided on procedural grounds.

==========

Judge Matthew W. Brann dismissed the case with prejudice on November 21, citing "strained legal arguments without merit and speculative accusations," noting that "[i]n the United States of America, this cannot justify the disenfranchisement of a single voter, let alone all the voters of its sixth most populated state ... [o]ur people, laws and institutions demand more". He likened the Trump team argument to "Frankenstein's Monster", and characterized the requested remedy to disqualify nearly seven million votes as "unhinged from the underlying right being asserted."

I wonder how applicable the current vaccine research will be to SARSr-CoV as a whole. It would be nice if one of the outcomes of all of this has a silver lining in the form of a rapid ability to develop further vaccines against other strains.
My in-laws live 3 hours away and my parents 14 hours away. We have seven kids so it would be useful to have them nearer on occasion, but my wife and I agree that 3 hours is the minimum we want to live away from other family members.

Can anyone clarify what "allergies" mean in this context?

I have a (now really mild) allergy to some pollen; as s child it made me miserable for two months (late April to early June) with nose constantly running, puffy eyes.

Now I barely sneeze twice a day and only in some specific areas... never got tested so I don't know which plant I am allergic to (and if it is the plant getting extinct or my body getting better at handling it).

Would this prevent me from taking the vaccine?
The number of people who can't get vaccinated will certainly be lower than the number of people who got infected already and are immune.
You are amazing. Let's search all online forums and public bulletins for this misspelling in the area. This person seems to be very sure of this specific spelling. If he's ever used that word publicly and spelled in that way it should be useful right?
Long ago, Ambrosia Software had a booth at one of the major tech conferences. Contests, trivia questions, t-shirts to win, the usual. Also, they were at the end of a major push to fix bugs in their games, and to celebrate they'd cooked up a bunch of food with bugs in it, and--somehow--convinced their marketing guy to eat the stuff in front of a bunch of attendees. (Maybe he lost a bet?)

And yes, I mean actual bugs. Insects. I'm talking roach pizza, worm casserole, that sort of thing.

Anyway, he shilly-shallied a bit, and finally agreed to do it, as long as he got to wash the stuff down with wine. (I'm assuming this part was staged as they'd brought a bottle.)

There was just one problem.

No corkscrew.

An appeal went out to the couple of dozen attendees: "Does anyone have a corkscrew?" Bunch of nerds at a tech conference, and nobody had a corkscrew...what are the chances?

Well, nobody except me, because I'm so ragingly dorky I never go anywhere without a Swiss Army knife of some sort.

I offered it up, the bottle was opened, there were cheers, and the guy standing next to me began lobbying the employees to give me a free t-shirt. Other attendees around him took up the chant, and the Ambrosia Software employees, to their credit, handed me a t-shirt when they returned my knife. It was a really nice one, black cotton with that big square maroon Ambrosia Software logo on the back, and the single word 'thaumaturgy' on the front in white lowercase monospaced font.

I wore that shirt for years afterward, until it somehow got lost in the shuffle of dropping laundry off at the laundromat. I'm still sad about its loss, because I was wearing that t-shirt the first time I talked to the woman who later became my wife. It was the shirt that initially caught her attention. We're still together to this day.

So thank you, Ambrosia Software. Thanks for the games...and everything else.
Not just. Capital, technology, expertise, skilled labor force. All are scarce currently.

Really the only guys/gals are either doing the good old pressurized/boiling water reactors, teaching at universities, or military. There's not enough molten salt expert, there's no supply chain for parts, materials, systems, services.

And there's not enough incentive. Maybe with a steep carbon tax.
According to the WSJ article I read, states have the privilege of petitioning the court directly. Anyone else attempting to file a similar suit faces years of filings, appeals, and then the Supreme Court actually deciding to hear the case, so highly unlikely.
The high cost of living is almost entirely driven by land use restrictions and zoning. I don’t know if that’s “liberal politics” but if San Francisco adopted the housing and zoning of Houston it would be way cheaper.

If anything you could argue that's an anti-liberal attitude. It's great the Bay Area is so tolerant of different folks. Except that doesn't help out the black transgender teenager from Mississippi who can't move there, because he's priced out of even the lowest-end apartment. All because some millionaire home owners don't want to see their property values appreciate at a slightly lower rate.
This is the most cynical and brutal thing I've read today. Just let the vulnerable die, they have it coming anyway? These are people, from all walks of life, not all of them "vulnerable", and they might include yourself. If you're lucky, you'll walk away with a permanent heart condition. Or hey, maybe you need some other medical procedure, but guess what, doctors are busy treating the dying, also there's no spare oxygen bottles for you. Geez. Time to stop reading the internet for today, I suppose.
What do you recommend as an alternative?
Looking at your comment, I have to conclude that you think you are smarter than 95% of the population and that they need to be treated like children.

You aren't dumb enough to drink rat poison if you see a video telling you to do so, and therefore don't need this protection, but not others. No sir, the little people are too dumb, and need to be protected, guided, and fed a diet of information curated by people like you. The paternalism is as disgusting as it is arrogant.

Your kind of thinking is what created the War on Drugs. And you aren't even self-aware enough to realize it.

Uh, yeah they do. Just because the climate isn't as nice as the Bay Area doesn't mean people don't have homes there. For one, the culture/night life is incredible there.
I agree with you here. I would just add:

> This huge drive for censorship didn't occur when a large portion of the American left thought that 9/11 was an inside job, because the normal people on the left knew that it was a large, but still fringe, group within their own sphere. The problem is that the same normal people on the left don't know normal people on the right. Why? Because they don't know ANY people on the right.

I think to at least some degree, this is a difference between 2001 and 2020. Normal people on the left knew people on the right, and now they don't.

Andy Pavlo of the CMU DB fame echoed this in one of the intro video lectures to one of his courses. He said his contacts in the industry valued people, who can navigate a large codebase productively. Most uni courses seem to involve writing a "toy" solution from scratch, which is seldom the case in professional programming.

He designed the course to be an exercise in working in an existing codebase that one needs to understand before adding features.

I guess that is one of the many reasons CMU grads kick open the door into many companies.
The most important metric in commercial real estate is outdated and inaccurate
In one post you might have everyone absolutely berating Facebook for allowing the platform to be used to spread misinformation, in another you have everyone berating Google for trying to disallow it. :/ Is there anyone discussing what to do about this trade off and not just yelling? How do you protect people from weaponized information, should you, can you? It seems like there should be consequences to lying and spreading invalid information as fact, but who should do it and how?
Please see my reply to your other comment with the same link.

There is a link in Finland and Sweden with narcolepsy among people who have HLA-DQB1*06:02 and who got Pandemrix.

I have encountered few people who have said “we shouldn’t have free speech in society”. Perhaps your argument needs more nuance to reflect the complexity of this issue.
So solutions should be focused on lowering the power of Youtube by making it easy to have competition to it but instead it seems to me the opposite is being proposed: with every new regulation that companies like Youtube have to follow, the harder the regulation is to enforce the harder it is for competitors to get into the market (so essentially these regulations are building a moat around YouTube). That doesn't seem to me like the right goal here.
