Not knowing what you do besides reading this: Maybe do a subscription for badges that merchants can put next to their products. (The services I've seen of that kind were horrible and they do not inspire confidence. The best some do is give the buyer some hope it isn't a fake webstore.) I think the web badly needs some primordial review mechanism.
The real threat is the IP obtained about leaders in key positions that will be used to blackmail the same. While that’s more of a Chinese tactic, Russia and others dabble here as well. One could say they simply instituted Assange doctrine for institutional purposes.

Whenever I hear about memristors, I think back on this guy I came across online, whose company blog publishes stuff like this:
https://knowm.org/thermodynamic-computing/

He patented a memristor design, and seemingly has some wild ideas stemming from his work with them.

> My statement stems from our work with AHaH Computing. When two energy-dissipating pathways compete for conduction resources, a Knowm synapse (aka kT-Bit) will emerge and it can be shown that the pair maximizes power dissipation while driving Hebbian or Anti-Hebbian learning. We see this building block for self-organized structures throughout Nature, for example in arteries, veins, lungs, neurons, leaves, branches, roots, lightning, rivers and mycelium networks of fungus.
>
> We observe that in all cases there is a particle that flows through competitive energy dissipating assemblies. The particle is either directly a carrier of free energy dissipation or else it appears to gate access, like a key to a lock, to free energy dissipation of the units in the collective. Some examples of these particles include water and sugars in plants, ATP in cells, blood in bodies, neurotrophins in neurons, and money in economies. In the cases of whirlpools, hurricanes, tornadoes and convection currents we note that although the final structure does not appear to be built of competitive structures, it is the result of a competitive process with one winner; namely, the spin or rotation. In other words, a hurricane is a ‘collapsed kT-Bit’.

> We have a very large and conspicuous example here that suggests that Uber hasn't been doing this.

I'm not sure this article is the smoking gun that the author makes it out to be. By 2017 Uber had reached saturation in what could reasonably be considered their addressable market. From my perspective, turning off app install campaigns and not seeing any dip in acquisition validates this position.

Meanwhile, their other major app, UberEats, is a business that exists in a highly competitive market, and they continue to invest in app marketing in order to grow that division. If the takeaway from this article was that Uber discovered app marketing was useless, I doubt you'd see them make that same mistake again.

> While I'm sure some of the bigger F500 companies do a good job validating their ad spend, most companies don't even know how.

If anything, I think bigger companies are more prone to overspending/spending inefficiently. While they do experiment to try and optimize strategy, there is some business inertia that gives them the flexibly to move a little slower, since one poor marketing decision will not sink the business overnight. Conversely, small businesses don't have the resources to investment as much in marketing. This leads to poorly run ad campaigns, but rather than continuing to invest in a bad strategy, they typically just kill the effort altogether.

Most small businesses don't need complex experiments to understand how marketing effects their bottom line - poor ROI is a lot more apparent when you're low on funds. That's also why it's in an ad tech platform's best interest to make efficient advertising as accessible as possible.
Thanks for the feedback!
Repeating tasks and more keyboard shortcuts are planned. Makes sense to focus on the title, that's a small thing and will be done soon.
You're familiar with Bell's Theorem, yes? QM puts significant constraints on any physical theory that might underlie it.
I wouldn't call it helplessly outdated, at most it's a version behind. But there's a number of reasons for this. For starters Telegram themselves lag behind in releasing the source code for the app[1]. Then the volunteers who make the FOSS version[2] have to update their fork and make sure it works. Then finally it's submitted to F-Droid, where it's compiled by their build servers (of which the build process occasionally breaks and needs to be fixed).

I think the assurances that this offers (entirely FOSS, reproducible builds, better privacy and security[3]) outweighs being sometimes days or weeks behind the releases they upload to the Google Play Store.

There’s enough evidence for medication and preventive supplements (Ivermectin, Vitamin D) that lockdowns aren’t necessary anymore. Other treatments have looked promising when applied early in the disease instead of after hospitalisation. According to combined research (c19study.com) over 800,000 lives could’ve been saved when treated earlier

Isn't this very old news, why is this being posted now?
Opinions aside, I can't edit this post due to its length so I wanted to call out two typos that I think add a lot of confusion. In the last paragraph, the "either" in the second to last sentence just shouldn't be there and "banshee" should be "balance".
There is an option of dark mode once you register. I do fully agree with all your points though. Seems like retina/high dpi displays were not really considered during the design
> After extensive experimentation, they realize this: 50% of the time, the white player wins and 50% of the time, the black player wins (we'll ignore draws and any first-move advantage for the example).

But this is empirically false. It fails to explain that, for example, some players consistently beat other players, or at least have a much higher than 50% winrate.

If chess really did consistently just have a 50% outcome, then it really would be equivalent to an overcomplicated coinflip. So I don't find this parable at all convincing, and remain a logical positivist.
You underestimate how important it is to (most, competent) governments to keep their citizens alive and how unprepared they were caught in this. This solution (if used) was better than flying blind and cost these governments nothing. It's not fair to pretend a government would not welcome contact tracing as-is if it helped provide a tool to stop the spread. Not everything a government does is out to surveil you, they have to still provide some other functions.

After a lid is on things though - yeah, maybe. Maybe they'll try to flip this, but not while their pants are down.
I can't imagine the US government letting the Chinese government come in to investigate, so that's not the strongest argument

My view for China's actions is that they're likely by individual bureaucrats trying to hide their own incompetence from everyone

At least with Logitech you have the option to use the software once to flash your desired DPI to your mouse and be done with it and remove the software.
> How often do you get a result so incredibly close to one of the few sites in the world that intentionally collects these things?

Very often for organizations like that who have labs and offices over much of the country. Take a look at the CDC locations for instance (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centers_for_Disease_Control_an...) , if an outbreak were to start anywhere in the US there would be a "suspicious" CDC office nearby.

Even higher when you consider these things tend to be near major cities and that's where a new virus is most likely to be discovered and grow exponentially. It could have been spreading among rural areas for months with no one noticing, until one contagious person travels to a large city.
Are you really suggesting that a country full of white people is a priori superior to a diverse country? Do you realise how insanely racist that is? Can you back up your assertion that Norway's good record on recidivism is because of all the whites?
The aliens can’t see the players, other than that one is playing as “white” and the other “black”. They don’t have access to information about a particular player going from game to game.

Some of the advantages of n8n.cloud compared to Pipedream/Autocode are (disclaimer do not know any of them too well):
- Easy to use but powerful even without coding skills (but even more possibilities if you can code)
- Build complex workflows easily and fast via a node-based editor
- Split data into different branches and merge them again
- No lock-in (you can take your workflows anytime and run n8n yourself where ever you want)
- Peace of mind that if the company (n8n) would ever go out of business you would not lose all your work as you would still be able to run it yourself
- Amazing community that helps each other and improves n8n on a daily basis
Bit hard to say that it couldn't have happened without the fork, given we don't have an alternate timeline to go back to and try. It would have gotten more attention and support without the fork too following Heartbleed.

Do you have a source that ventilation itself worsens outcomes, and isn't just correlated with already poor-performing patients?

The conclusion, about the need for half-crazy people, reminds me of https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/GuEsfTpSDSbXFiseH/make-an-ex...

Anyone who can muster their willpower for thirty seconds, can make a desperate effort to lift more weight than they usually could. But what if the weight that needs lifting is a truck? Then desperate efforts won't suffice; you'll have to do something out of the ordinary to succeed. You may have to do something that you weren't taught to do in school. Something that others aren't expecting you to do, and might not understand. You may have to go outside your comfortable routine, take on difficulties you don't have an existing mental program for handling, and bypass the System.

[...]

Are they really under the impression that humanity can survive if every single person does everything the ordinary, normal, default way?
Indeed. LA is not that densely populated by any global standard.
One possible explanation: Facebook knows the business violates its rules, but it cant share details, as they were obtained illegally (eg violating privacy rights)..
Wait, so normally such patients are transported? For what? Billing purposes?
Exactly. Her moving to BioNTech seems to have been the best outcome possible... even though I completely understand her sourness at Penn. But it sounds like she’ll get the last laugh and can call out Penn for its lack of vision.
A lot of people did not have Covid before the tests were available. You know how we can tell? Because we did not have a lot of people hospitalised or even die with an undiagnosed mystery pneumonia. (There are other ways we can then cross validate that.)

You have somehow internalised a gross mistruth as a fact, have realized it is inconsistent with reality, and are now trying to patch up the inconsistencies by positing that the virus became more deadly. That way lie conspiracy theories.
I think the landing page should be adjusted so that the embedded resume doesn't look like the final product. Perhaps screenshots of the sections and features instead. A decent amount of feedback here seems to be because people didn't click view example.

And I'd also add the ability to have generic sections or entries. Something for lists especially. For instance languages or certifications, or certifications.
I suspect the limiting factor is personnel, not beds (i.e. trained staff to manage covid patients), which can't be increased on short notice. But still -- we have incompetent state & federal leadership that basically knew what would happen yet still didn't do enough to prepare.

> Instead hospitals were laying off people in the summer.

Yup. One of the dark ironies of this whole mess has been that hospitals have been letting go of staff because they had to suspend (very profitable) elective surgeries to treat (not so profitable) covid patients. Think hip surgeries being postponed and bleeding hospitals dry as a result.
There are multiple points of failure. Pretending everything was A-OK is the largest one, failing to identify the virus's presence in the country for months was another, denying and downplaying the usefulness of masks was another, underfunding hospitals was another, failing to secure PPE was another, making it painfully difficult to get tested was another. There's a lot of blame to go around on this one. But reopening the economy was the biggest mistake.
And these alternate solutions lack 75% of the functionality available to customers of Apple products. It isn't that these customers are all clueless dunces, many of them look at the tradeoffs and if they are living in a country with some citizen rights conclude that the risk is acceptable given the magnitude of the tradeoff.
With enough responsible people and critical mass, exposure notification and contact tracing are ideally equivalent at their objective. Unfortunately though, people aren't responsible
Rustls, a company even developed an OpenSSL compatible API for it.
I don't know what type of filtering is applied to detect radio-transmissions. If the detection equipment is not looking for microwave-attacks, they could indeed get filtered out as noise. But again, at intensities that induce the Frey effect you illuminate a neighborhood well above the normal noise-level. You can't hide this.

I disagree about the shielding of microwaves because the shielding is obviously very effective. If it weren't so, we'd feel physical discomfort with our face less than a meter from the magnetron.

For the properites of shielded windows, I refer to "Shielding Effectiveness and HPM Vulnerability of Energy-saving Windows and Window Panes"[0]. The three panes they measured range from 15 dB to 35 dB attenuation. Now scaling an attack by 15 dB is not generally easy. It may mean you have to reduce the distance and operate from a van instead of a flat for example. By 35 dB we're talking about three orders of magnitude which makes scaling impossible because it'd cook the whole neighborhood.

Does the message say “everyone in the world” or just “people nearby”? I think my parents would assume that “nearby” meant people physically in the vicinity!
If there were such evidence I doubt that so many countries would fuck over their economy with lockdowns, so I have strong doubts about your claim.
You realize this is crazy-talk right? No country has avoided a pretty wild amount of casualties without locking down. If the evidence was so strong, you'd think at least one of them would have succeeded with this strategy.

It’s protocol to NOT allow EMTs to declare someone dead. An EMT (with a few hours of community college training, mind you) are not trained for advanced resuscitation that only doctors can perform. This absolutely will lead to excess mortality.
You're very obnoxious
Same here. I use Teddit.net for Reddit, Newpipe for Youtube and one of the nitter.net instances for Twitter. All the content without the clutter and fast, as well as a lower temptation to get into flamewars etc.

(In Newpipe you can subscribe to creators' channels, see the comments and their other videos. You just can't comment from there.)
Sure, but universities are old and stodgy. Maybe it’s people who want to be professors in the first place that should be changed. With hindsight, moving to BioNTech seems like the best decision she could have made, and now she can enjoy the final laugh.
Do you have a source for that? I'd expect it to be more complicated than that.
It's funny. I re-read it after posting that quote. A lot of his ideas very similar to Baudrillard. Especially stuff to do with the Other and difference. That being said, he still manages to have a pretty original perspective (to me, at least).

His books are very difficult book to track down (the English translations especially). But you're welcome to borrow my copy: cutt.ly/jjs6mL0 (I will delete this in a day)
I've had the same issue twice, but it worked fine for me. I just filled the form on the login page, and after a couple of days I received an email telling me 2-fa has been disabled. The only issue I had was that 2-fa was only temporarily disabled and not permanently as I thought, so I had to do it a second time when I tried to relog a few days after and then I changed my number.
I suppose why not. Google employs some of the smartest minds walking earth, subseque tly , this is a reflection of their thoughts. I do not think this is a group of extreme left wingers who have infiltrated google to bring change. I think this is a reaction to the some actions they have observed and decided it is time for an intervention. I do not understand the people who are against this, especially the ones not even working there. Nobody is forced to join the union. Maybe the unions are different in the US. But in Europe they have proven to be a good anti exploitation tool and are the foundation of a happy middle class
I worked at WDAS and remember talking to the ILM team testing out the mesos VDI stuff. AFAIK it never left the POC stage but it was a really neat demo.

My team at WDAS mirrored pretty closely what Pixar did with VDI although we didn't fully switch to it for different reasons (power and heat constraints in the datacenter and price). IIRC the VDI hosts had static VMs and the teradici connection manager did all the smarts of routing user requests to a VM. There was no dynamic orchestration for us because we only had 60ish users using full VDI VMs, but even our plans of hundreds of users was still to use teradici and standard VMs on each host.

We rendered different than Pixar which also made our system a bit more static. We didn't have a separate render VM and instead rendered directly on the workstation VM when users were idle or disconnected.
Spice agent is the equivalent of vmware/virtualbox "guest additions," and is the thing you want to install on your guest if you're using virt-manager on Linux.

It lets you do things like dynamic resizing, copy/paste, file sharing, etc.
Because people can be revived
Firstly the country has not really been serious about the pandemic it seems. On a political scale that is. And since each state can take their own actions it's really difficult to understand why this has not been done before.

On the other hand, the weak are the ones that die first. It's the law of nature.

So when doctors look at a patient it's of course their job to validate whether or not it's time and money well spent to save a life. How did you think it worked, honestly?

Many years ago a story of similar character ran across Denmark, where doctors were being exposed due to the fact that they had to make a life (but how much longer!) or death decision for a variety of patients. And of course they have to imo.
>can't be increased on short notice.

i think the 3-6 months that we had would have been enough to train any MD to care for a covid patient, at least for majority of cases and under supervision of existing high specialist. My understanding is that non-covid personnel had their workload significantly decreased, so they could have been trained for covid for the second wave.
I brought up Singapore's public housing model because in Singapore residents have the option to buy, so the housing is occupied and maintained by owners who are invested in the property. I think this would work well in California and would avoid a lot of the previous, designed-to-fail public housing systems we've tried. Singapore attaches their public housing to transit and doesn't have California's regulations for parking, which cuts costs significantly.

I believe why Telegram is considered more secure is the source code for it's clients are open source. Which means it's possible to ascertain what the app is and isn't sending. You're not able to confidently verify that WhatsApp isn't doing more that it claims including verifying it's E2EE implementation.
