Google does not censor real news articles. Nor legit research AFAICT. A quick Bing and DDG search along with browsing of the Wikipedia article on this topic[1] yielded nothing major.

If you want to "research" on how Sandy Hook school shooting was a false flag, that California wildfires were set by Jewish space lasers, or other the QAnon conspiracies, yeah Google sucks. But if you are doing actual research for work or school, neither DDG nor Bing come close. I used DDG heavily when I was in China, and it was garbage for work.

After living China, I am well aware how horrible censorship is to democracy. But you know what's worse? How Facebook's algorithms have radicalized our country. Most members of my family (our country for that matter) get their news from Facebook, much if it is the most extreme garage to keep engagement numbers high, not good journalism based on facts.

I'm fairly certain page rank demotes this garbage because it’s poor quality, not as a service to our society. But as long as Facebook/OANN continue to profit off of tearing our society apart, it's probably a good thing. Of course, teaching critical thinking in school would negate this problem, but that’s a too much to ask from a culture that puts more value in sports than education.

10GBASE-T is unreasonably power hungry. SFP+ passive cables are far superior for short lengths and fiber optics are superior for anything longer. I've got two SFP+ 10GBASE-T transceivers on my home network and they seem to sit around 80°C all the time.
I've posted this a lot, but I think it's important for those who claim Uyghur camps are some sort of Western propaganda. This site documents primary source evidence of victims in Xinjiang. Testimonies from families and friends, court documents, photos, etc. Information on specific camps and seeing victims by city/village is newly available. What's happening there is horrible and consists of many human rights violations.

There is still minor (1) risk of transmission via fomite, so I agree it’s still a good idea to wash hands and keep surfaces relatively clean. I just think we should rebalance our behaviors/resources based on the accumulating evidence.

Your reasoning defeats itself. No system should tell people they need "rehabilitation", and yet you still support prisons that try to "rehabilitate" prisoners.

People do not have choices. They are particles reacting to their environment, and what you describe as a "choice" is actually a carefully choreographed cascade of chain reactions. You can attribute a sense of "making choices" to that all you want, it doesn't change the fact that if I interject into that process and stop any one piece of that chain reaction, your behavior is altered.

You only have the illusion of free will, because you don't understand exactly how the system works. You brain has hallucinated not just the outside world, but your internal world as well. It is inescapable, and rather than fight it, you should embrace it like some us do and learn to operate in this new mental paradigm, not out right reject it because you fail to be able to operate in that space.

The fact that I exist is the only evidence you need to show that "not believing in free will" doesn't lead to your prediction of "worse outcome".

I mean, "hedge funds and my shitty broker are complicit in securities fraud, which is why I lost $65,000 on an $80,000 bet" certainly sounds a lot better than "I was late to the party and got hosed."
It's especially frustrating, as places like the Czech Republic initially did pretty well by telling people to cover their faces with any old thing - cut up t-shirts, whatever. Maybe people in the US are too selfish and would have gone for the 'fancy' masks and ended up depriving doctors of them, but it seems like not even trying was pretty bad.

Looks like subsequently things went off the rails there. Wonder what happened.

It looks like that because it's complex and technical and people don't understand it, but it also saved retail investors a bunch of money. I don't understand how a jet engine works, but I don't feel any urge to advocate for jet engine policy changes.

It will be a strong argument when there's more evidence. Do we have any example of significantly stronger viral adaptation in the presence of a vaccine that successfully stimulates the immune system? Even a full course of the less-effective vaccines would still be risking this. The AstraZeneca and Sinovac vaccines only have an efficacy of around 70% after all.
Bubble or no bubble, builders are going to build. If luxurious units drop in value after housing supply is no longer restricted, builders will go with thinner margins and build less expensive housing, rather than… what, just exit the business altogether?

If OP’s vision is correct, when luxurious high-density housing in SF becomes oversupplied it will drop in price. If your counter-argument is correct, in this scenario luxurious housing will never be built. I reckon other housing will, though, and it’ll likely be tall buildings with higher margins. Either way the answer seems clear: using speculative investment to argue against new housing is misguided.
Yes, it was a big factor. The WHO was discouraging mask use for months after the pandemic started, even though we knew that the original SARS was airborne and we knew that masks were effective against other coronaviruses. They were pushing the line that there was "no evidence", when what they really mean was "there isn't overwhelming and conclusive evidence, and I am not inclined towards Bayesian reasoning in public because it presents too much career risk and I'm a total coward".
This is a thing old farmers do. Usually not around too many other people though.
Law enforcement is a collection of cohesive bodies who train, take oaths to enforce the law, and follow orders. We are right to demand that every single one of them suffer consequences if they violate the trust they receive.

Protestors are not cohesive groups, and looters are even a step further removed. They're people who take advantage of the confusion of protests.

And anyway, property damage during a protest is older than the Constitution (see: Boston tea party).
From your link:

> There are Linux kernel APIs that we (and other Wayland compositors) use to get the job done. Among these are KMS, DRM, and GBM - respectively Kernel Mode Setting, Direct Rendering Manager, and Generic Buffer Management. Every GPU vendor but Nvidia supports these APIs.

Edit: I should mention, if your hardware doesn't support given software, just don't use that software. There's just no need to go in shouting about how terrible said software is.
> New variants start popping up that are resistant to the previous version.

There is no evidence that new variants have escaped natural immunity in any population. To date, all of the known variants are neutralized by existing antibodies and immune sera. This is a fact -- we've seen effects on titers in a few papers, but nothing has yet to escape immunity.

That said, immune escape is probably inevitable -- this virus mutates far too quickly and has too many zoonotic reservoirs to prevent that from happening. To the extent that this occurs, a mix of natural and vaccine-induced immunity is likely the fastest and most robust way to suppress the virus.
Not quite when it comes to stopping the epidemic, because transmission seems to be highly correlated to viral load and thus to severity as well.
Also, the WSB kid logo superficially looks like Trump (hair color, style and tie).

Ashkenazi Jews are an insular community but I don’t think they’re insular enough not to have Dante among their ancestors. They have Polish/Slavic mitochondrial DNA among many other lines, and the explosion of that population was still in progress in Dante’s time. It’s entirely possible there’s no trace of Dante’s actual DNA because an ancestry share that small can just disappear by chance. But if he has living descendants he has living Ashkenazi descendants.
The biggest limiting factor is the ability to etch deep holes with a high aspect ratio. Shrinking individual memory cells along any axis is of limited use (fewer electrons means less durability), so you can't make layers much thinner. Making holes wider can get you more layers, but isn't really a net win for total density. So far, nobody has started stacking more than two decks of layers, so I don't know if we have good data on how cost and yield scale when going all-out on string stacking to reach extreme layer counts. As an alternative, there's R&D into using wider holes, and then splitting the vertical channels in half, giving you two semicircular memory cells per layer rather than one circular cell.

There's also a need to keep shrinking the peripheral circuitry as the number of memory cells stacked above each mm^2 of buffers and charge pumps keeps growing.
What part of 1. Was a lie? It's a fact many hospitals were extremely lacking in PPE, especially when it came to N95 masks, at the start of the pandemic. There was a shortage/crisis to the point where there were many local compaigns to manufacture basic PPE like cloth masks and face shields for hospitals. How could you forget about that so quickly?
This seems like lots of useful code, but at the same time it looks like it is designed in the "all or nothing" fashion, and I think it'll severely hurt your adoption.

The hubstore has its own packaging format, as opposed to standard approach, such as a .whl file with entry_points of setup.py. As a result, you cannot use any of the pre-existing python apps. And if someone makes hubstore-compatible app, it is not going to be usable with regular python tools by default.

The Pyrustic is kinda the same -- it has some cool components, but it also requires a lot of buy-in. I could use better TkInter widgets, but I am not even going to consider it if it requires some sort of interactive, non-scriptable wrapper shell which completely destroys all my existing workflows.
Your opinion is your own. I could easily cite half a dozen occasions where Anthony Fauci has made equally incorrect pronouncements. People make mistakes.

I heard from several that Motley Fools stock advice beats the S&P soundly over many years of a track record.
Everyone is making decision under uncertainty, all the time.

If my impression of risk-loving decision making is wrong and there really was careful analysis of risks I'd love to hear it. It would restore a /lot/ of faith.

What was the assessed risk that that an increased period between first and second jabs would greatly reduce the coverage?

What was the advantage of the increased period? (ie is it likely that one jab will keep more people alive and/or do less damage to more covid survivors).

Is the risk of going with a longer period between first and second worth it? With the benefit of hindsight there appears not to be a downside. To be totally clear: this is very, very, very welcome news. Now it's a proper asymmetry and it seems like this strategy is all upside from here.

The alternative was to give people the two vaccine jabs the exact amount of time apart as had been tested and was known until this data came in. Then switch to this strategy. That is the conservative decision as you pretty much know what you're going to get. Is the longer period between first and second to get more people a first jab faster going to pay off? Again to be 100% clear let's hope so. Really let's hope it's a huge, huge win.

This analysis of UK vaccination policy and the maximum coverage of first jabs that the new 3-month data helps to further (but not completely) inform has nothing to do with the EU or New Zealand or Taiwan or Brazil.

Assessing the UK's gamblers' strategy of taking flyers is a reasonable thing to do in comparison to other EU nations, or NZ or Brazil...

There are other aspects to the UK's various strategies that don't have much to do with the Oxford vaccine showing sustained protection of 76% ...

If the UK has made some good calls in there based on risk asymmetry and balances of probabilities to go with the plethora of terrible ones they probably should trumpet them very loudly just restore people's faith that it's possible and that we can do better than 'gut-feel' or taking a flyer or "if she comes home we'll be loaded!" Which is how it's looking.

> people genuinely begin the pandemic by believing officials and then after a few weeks start to disbelieve officials?

(Anecdote)

At the start of the pandemic, I took it all very seriously. We were in the fog of war and didn't know how serious it was, so we assumed it was very dangerous. We did our best to avoid people and do our part to "stop the spread" or "flatten the curve".

At the beginning of June, I started to get more bold with things. Wife and kids still avoided stores, but I would go for more than just the weekly groceries.

Sometime in July / August we started seeing some of our friends again.

September / October we started going to stores as a family again. Also started going to church again.

At this point, our habits are changed to the point that we just don't really go anywhere, but we don't avoid anything for "safety" reasons. We wear our masks in stores, etc. because most have signs on the doors asking us to and we try to be polite about it.

At this point I think I can count 20+ people of all ages that I know personally who have had Coronavirus. I don't have a terribly big social circle. In the words of my best friend, whose family had it over Christmas, "I wouldn't recommend going out and catching it on purpose, but you get through it just fine"

Which is to say, I think we know much more about the virus now than we did then, and the risk profile is very low for people without serious pre-existing health conditions or the very old.

And hell, my grandma's nursing home had an outbreak. I think they had maybe 6 or 7 people die out of the 60 or so people who caught it. That's a tragedy, but the bigger tragedy is that they were prevented from seeing family for ten months now and had to suffer alone, many of them degrading significantly from the lack of interaction. Thankfully they are getting the vaccine and should be allowed to open up soon.
Funny how the people NPR was excoriating as torturers and incompetents a decade ago for their role in the Iraq War are now considered trustworthy intelligence experts. Even trustworthy enough to advise on how to prosecute a campaign against an "insurgency" in our own domestic population! What could go wrong?
i just googled "don and doff" to see if I could find any shared etymology with "on and off" or if that was a coincidence... and discovered that "donning and doffing PPE" is a thing, hence, not so surprising that somebody would learn it or know it.
In the United States, this is called the "farmers' handkerchief."
I remember researching mask effectiveness when it was spreading around China but hadn't made it out anywhere else (that we knew about) and everyone thought it was just going to be another SARS.

I personally couldn't find a single English article that said mask were anything besides a placebo for the person wearing them if they wanted protection from others. That instinctively made no sense that a barrier in front of your mouth and nose provided zero protection and I'm glad I didn't trust the lack of study in the west as evidence of ineffectiveness and kept trying to secure masks for myself and my family before the lock downs hit.

Yes it does. Here's the definition of "reliable source":

Was #1 a flat-out lie? I though the CDC said that "masks work" was a statement with insufficient peer-reviewed evidence for them to make it their official advice at the time, especially as they were cognizant that a run on masks could deny HCWs access to the tools of their trade. In other words, they were irresponsibly careful.
The only real option for a high-end Unix workstation with heavily integrated software that still exists seems to be the Mac Pro. Linux is really not comparable to IRIX.

People keep saying that Wayland needs to be more of an X replacement but it's never clear what that means. You want 3D graphics over the network, that currently means Vulkan, and if you were going to do that, there doesn't seem to be much reason to tie it to any particular window system.
That reminds me of a certain face washing scene from Vikings where they are blowing their snot into the same bowl of water.
Except they didn't say "They work, but don't buy them because the hospitals need them". Here's what they said: https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-fauci-outdated-...

At least to me, that was pretty dismissive about them. That set the tone for a very large set of people.

Edit: This was US based. I do not know what other countries were saying.

FOV – the ZEEMO Birthday Interview – gaming+culture – plg
The dominant WSB narrative appears to be that the real short squeeze hasn't happened yet, the falling price is due to market manipulation, indicators showing that shorts are back to 50% instead of last week's 140% are all fake, and it's going back to the moon anytime now.

Needless to say, it's requiring increasing levels of disconnect from reality to believe that this is actually the case. Here's a lengthy but interesting WSB analysis of the various theories:

Argument #4: Market manipulation shenanigans didn't work, and retailers didn't sell off en masse, creating the liquidity shorts need to close cheaply.

Claim: Price dips happened during low volume trading (short ladder market manipulation etc), and the longs are holding fast.

Hmmm... That is not how I remember it.

I could gopher topics by early 90's, and Infoseek, Yahoo, WebCrawler, etc. were a full text search of pages by mid 90's.

I distinctly recall searching usenet across multiple servers.

Even before this, when data only flowed through uucp (or Fido), search was albeit queued, readily available.

Your mileage may have varied; i just want to be clear that it was not that it did not exist, but new-comers would have a steeper learning curve. Today, it is expected, nay, demanded as a human right to be able to search the entire internet from a uniform and single klick search box.

(edit: misspelurating stuffage)
You can disagree. You can assert that believing people can't make choices in a true sense of free will causes other to suffer. You can also be dismissed for said assertion without providing any evidence.

For instance, if your assertion is true, why do I, as someone who does not believe I make my own choices, do no harm to others? Shouldn't I be on a killing spree according to your logic? Shouldn't I be repressing and hurting people left and right? All I have to do is prove it's possible to not believe you make your own choices and not do harm. That single data point is enough to prove your claims wrong.
