"Daily U.S. death toll will exceed 9/11′s for months, CDC director says"

It's right there in the headline. We are approaching a breaking point where more people will be dying not because we don't know how to save them, but because there are not enough health workers to attend to them.

Wearing a mask and leaving home only when absolutely necessary is a simple thing we can all do to help save lives.

What sort of mental gymnastics does it take to convince yourself not being able to walk isn't inherently bad? Not being able to walk is bad. Not being able to fly is bad. Not being immortal is bad. Inabilities are bad regardless of what the "normal" state is. Society and accommodation could make up for 90% of the downsides but being confined to a wheelchair will never be a neutral status.
Sure, but all case numbers are not preventable like COVID (assuming people dying from COVID would’ve been fine otherwise)

My T530 wakes up and sleeps just fine. I don't have hibernate set up. I know there's a command line command I can do, but I also know there's a way to "enable" it somehow so that it appears as an option in the shutdown menu.

It probably works so well on my T530 since it's an 8 year old thinkpad.
This is awesome - will definitely need to try it out on a side project.

At first glance, seems to do something similar to Caprover.
As emissions are cumulative, there is no wasting time by cutting your own emissions. Both is best, but change starts at home!
This is misinformation pulling on the heartstrings of the non-logical. Most people who caught covid would have died if they caught the normal flu...like every other year.

Also, wasn't it convenient of them to leave "covid" out of the headline. Expected deaths this year without a pandemic were already expected to be much higher.[1]

FYI if you downvote without refuting my statements, you are that non-logical person.

My #1 recommendation would be to read Seth Godin, he has a blog[1] and he writes daily. More often than not, each week he has a piece of advice that ends up being really valuable.

One day after reading his blog for several months, I asked myself -- if this is what he offers for free, I wonder how good his books must be! And that's how I started reading his books. I would recommend you Purple Cow, Ideavirus and Permission Marketing, but most of them are very good.

This is really good, but humans have an amazing knack for messing stuff up and I really hope corners aren’t cut building and maintaining it.

What comes to mind is the situation in Japan where workers inadvertently had some material go critical, and while this was being investigated it was found that they were carrying waste uranium and nitric acid around by hand in buckets.

That's short-term storage. No seasonal storage technology is at a point where we could just point at a learning curve chart, draw a circle around some future intersection point and say "problem solved here".
Maybe, but that's a separate issue.

Deaths from a natural disaster are fundamentally different than deaths caused by a murderer. Trying to evaluate policy by comparing the two is nonsensical. Like suggesting that it's a waste of time to spend resources to find a murderer when they only killed one person vs the thousands that die to flu.
Because I don't actually think it will work that way. Humans are generally rational and non-starving people even more so. China sees itself as an eternal kingdom, I doubt they plan to boil themselves in this newfound prosperity.
Goodbye CentOS, Hello Rocky Linux
Why? This doesn't change anything.
Yes. I just got myself a cheapo ThinkPad E15 to use as a backup computer if Apple somehow screws up my old MacBook Pro. Installed OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on the ThinkPad and everything seems to be working quite well (or at least predictably).

That being said, after each reboot I do need to put the machine to sleep using the power button once. After that the sleep/wake works perfectly just by closing/opening the lid. It's a minor inconvenience and I'm actually kind of loving the thing!
I dont think this is a joking matter. The toll of wars are far greater than the initial provoking incident. There are death tolls for your home troops, innocent civilians, and long-term tolls of disabilities and psychological damage.
9/11 killed mostly high status people. COVID mostly kills low status people. So there won't be any wars this time.
This is why I always buy $10K+ Rolex watches instead of $20 made in China Casios. Worth it.
I think MS is in trouble. Nearly everyone's home computer just runs Chrome now. Work PCs are going the same direction. Even developers can probably rely on a SSH and RDP to a server running anything. Android tablets are selling for about the same price as Windows license.
Would it be for the same reason that it takes too long to shutdown? My laptop (dualboot - ubuntu/windows) takes significantly longer to shutdown when on linux. Even with the SSD - which made windows really faster.
Thanks for posting! I hope that the conversion from bookmark to custom search engines will work with Firefox Sync. That has been a killer feature for me of the bookmark keyword searches. I've probably had the same keyword searches in my bookmarks for more than ten years, and Sync reliably puts them on every FF instance. Like magic! :)
Pretty much the entire US navy runs on nuclear power, so it's not unthinkable to move to zero emissions propulsion.
Fingerprinting works by grouping people. The smaller the group, the better. And the group where values change constantly is bound to be very small.

Your assumption seems to be that these changes won’t be recognized. But they are very easy to recognize, e.g. by grouping the values by IP address. Same IP address but constantly changing random values? Yes, that’s a very reliable fingerprint.
Without Facebook and the self-amplifying validation bubbles it produces, being "anti-mask" would be seen as just as ridiculous as being an anti-vaccine or a flat-earther. There wouldn't be tensions at all because the fringe group wouldn't have any other way to grow to the point where there could be "tensions".
Only Macs sleep reasonably correctly, and even they have issues. In my Macbook Air, Wi-Fi is the first victim after "n" cycles so I need to reboot it.

Not quite related, but Century Link's internet filtering on their residential fiber service flags this page as dangerous.

I largely agree with you, but I don't think there's reason to believe this is the only way to live modernity. Being an industrialized nation with modern technology and medicine doesn't come as a single package with the nuclear family.

For example, I'm Mexican. Here it's quite normal to spend plenty of time with your extended family, live near them, have your parents help you take care of your kids for extended periods of time, etc. at least in my experience. We're an industrial nation and have modern medicine, but this is more a matter of culture and social attitudes I think.
Phew, we'd not heard of anyone else with this issue but it still made me a little worried when you mentioned the problem. I'm pleased you've got it working now though, thanks for letting us know.

Of course, you're absolutely right in your reductive view, but it is not what I was trying to suggest.

I remember an explanation that Sussman gave for why MIT retired the SICP course, replacing with it a course in which students program robots with Python.

He said (and I'm badly paraphrasing) that one used to be able to scale up your reasoning about how a piece of software works in a similar way to how you do it when looking at a circuit diagram: you have these little components with discrete behaviors and you can simply combine them and be able to predict the result.

Today, however, as programmers (to a greater extent than before) we create systems by cobbling together large, opaque, libraries whose properties are poorly described and require one to essentially "do science" on those black boxes.

And the trade-off is that we're often better off plugging A into B, and hence there's a lot more of that sort of line work in industry.

edit: I should say that I don't much like that sort of work, but it was unwarranted to say it is 'alarming' that the trend has gone this way.
> Apple -- at 20% or so in most of the world's economies

Apple has 17% (and dropping) of the mobile market share in Europe and around 9% in computing.

There aren't many other richer economies in the World.

Ferrari is worth now more than General Motors and Ford, so market share and net worth are not comparable.

Their market share is small because they make a luxury limited edition product.

They limit their production capacity to around 10 thousands cars/year (all sold in pre order), Apple is trying to sell as many devices they can.

There are no Ferrari Store where you can buy a Ferrari and drive it home half an hour later.

It's not a small difference.

Last but not least, there is a lot more competition between car manufacturers, even in the most expensive segments, Apple devices are only made by Apple.

Hyundai, for example, had a net income of over 3 trillion in 2019, Apple net income is measured in tens of billions.

Arguably the country was shut down by cars decades ago. You experienced it reopening, in a sense. Hate that we call it "closing the street" when we stop letting drivers terrorize people walking on them.
You're missing the point. What's being discussed here is anti-fingerprinting, not anonymization.
The article is talking about just daily deaths from COVID-19, not the overall daily death rate or the monthly COVID-19 death rate. Even on a good day, more people die in the United States than died of the 9/11 attacks (~3k) - just usually not of any single cause.

In context... Approximately 655k Americans die of heart disease each year[0], which comes out to about 1.8k per day. Approximately 600k Americans die of cancer each year[0], which comes out to about 1.6k per day.

Emissions per capita are low because a lot of the population lives in poverty outside the city or in the city on the margins. It is not an eco-utopia.
The problem with this argument is that racists historically used every system in order to be racist. Should we eliminate public schools, because we still to this day provide less funding for schools in black neighborhoods? What about the Post Office, which was still segregated as recently as the 20th century? If we can't trust politicians not to implement policies in a racist fashion, don't we then have to eliminate the entire government?

Or we could strive not to implement good policies in a bad way.

> What is unfair to assume without evidence is that Apple has some sort of super secret tech no one else knows about to repair them. That is simply a claim without evidence.

Apple knows how to do all sorts of things in the manufacturing process that even competing companies having resources similar to Apple's scale (Samsung, LG, et al.) can't seem to accomplish. iFixit certainly doesn't have resources anywhere near Apple's. So I wouldn't put recycling/repair tech past them. It's certainly plausible.

The rest of your math is largely fictional because you can't buy a pair of new AirPods without the charging case. There's a market for them (most likely in the black market because they're almost certainly stolen), but they're certainly going to be less than the cost of the combination less the price of a new charger.
As a Christian in California, I’m genuinely curious—could you elaborate on what it means for Austin to be overwhelmingly intolerant of non-leftist opinions, and for the rest of Texas to not be exclusionary?

I hear this claim from time to time but I’d like to know what it means concretely. Do you mean things like churches being closed due to COVID, or some sort of anti-white racism existing in Austin on the one hand while on the other hand racism isn’t prevalent outside of Austin?

There’s different levels of support. Shopping for groceries or helping your elders do laundry is different than changing their diapers and spoon feeding them.

Of course, it depends on the individual’s personalities and whether or not they can accept the compromises of living near or with each other.

I would want to commit suicide before I subject my kids or grandkids to permanently doing basic tasks like cleaning up my bodily functions or spoon feeding me, but I certainly don’t mind helping my elders with various tasks every now and then.
I mean, maybe the takeaway from your comment is that being enough of a generalist that you can create a useful product and successfully market that makes you rare, but surely you don't think the amount of small teams making money off of services is even within 2 orders of magnitude of the amount of billion dollar IPOs...

Well, now everyone can see the massive network of "bot" accounts that HN has. It's a growing trend on posts; you'll see them interacting with each other; they like to work in nodes to boost the comment count and therefore somehow increase the chances of making front page.

Even if they don't hit front page, the comment itself adds to the longer term plan of these accounts. I don't doubt for a second that someone has, or is currently manipulating a lot of the traffic and comments for certain posts.

This is easily established via networks of rotating residentials; or better yet, real humans in Ukraine [1]: something that cannot be defeated unless you start nodal map chaining.

High likelihood that these troll farm/serious commenters algos are not equipped to deal with such complexities such as human satire yet, which is a reasonable conclusion as to why there are so many "serious" posts

I think this a poor way of looking at death tolls when context such as cause of death and the people dying matter too. In other words I don't think it is appropriate to bring up 9/11 and whether its for clicks or to gain points for their political side (because covid has been heavily politicised), it has only caused more people to take it less seriously.

While CPUs are ridiculously fast, pretty much everything involved in booting a system involves a lot of polling or hard coded waits. Modern peripherals also contain only the barest of firmware in ROM and need the drivers to actually upload their operating firmware.

No matter how many cores the CPU has or how fast they're clocked they're not going to make all that IO faster. They also can't run a hard coded 10ms sleep faster than 10ms.

Even once you get into a booted kernel and PID 1 you're still going to wait on IO to get daemons running. If you've got services (in systemd parlance) waiting on Networking you can have totally variable wait periods depending on local network conditions.

SSDs and parallel starting of daemons has improved boot times a lot over the past decade but there's still hard minimums just based on booting up low level crap before the kernel turns things over to PID 1.

And I discovered the domain had just been registered. I can only assume there are domain squatters who pay for Twitter feeds, look up all domains, and purchase unregistered ones either to harvest traffic or to sell to loose-lipped people like myself. (Fortunately, I didn't need that TLD, so I refused to pay the danegeld and registered the .net instead.)
DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials implement GPC as well, not sure about any other extensions.
