Seconded. Against these idiots I think if anything guns are a safety measure. Using a large vehicle (rent a moving truck, load it with something like concrete blocks from your local hardware) and ram is actually more deadly than most mass shootings. Guns only have an advantage if you seek specific targets rather than simply a death toll.
Aren't they already for big (desktop/workstation/server) chips? I'd say Zen3 is the state of the art in that market and that uses a mixed process. The IO dies are global foundries 12nm for AMD.

The mobile market cares more about efficiency than easily scaling up to much bigger chips, so the M1 and other ARM chips are probably going to ignore this without much consequence for smaller chips.

Intel still tops sales because of non-perf related reasons like refresh cycles, distrust of AMD from last time they fell apart in the server space, producing chips in sufficient quantities unlike the entire rest of the industry fighting over TSMC's capacity, etc.

0.58% is an order of magnitude higher then 30 out of 17 million. Going by these numbers, AZ is still better than COVID. And I doubt any worse than other vaccines.
Historically interesting: In the Soviet GDR there was a 95%+ vaccination rate and people trust Russian/Soviet vaccine science (I am from the region). Introducing Sputnik V to Germany may boost vaccine acceptance in the East.

The majority of the vocal deniers is localized around Munich btw, same with homeopathy advocates. Not sure why that is but I suspect 1888's medicine book by Eduard Bilz, which was extremely popular in Germany, could play a role (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilz-Buch).

It is laughable to suggest that Musk did this because it was moral. He did it to make money. His employees were getting paid either way. There is nothing noble or humanitarian about the decision.

> in practical terms a rule can only exist if you have some police power to enforce it. which costs money. this also leads up to 1 and 2 which says it's impossible to create regulations which are disconnected of what people want.

Desegregating the South in the US is a counterpoint. It was not popular (in the South), it was expensive, and it did change people's behavior.

There has been a lot of interest in these reddit/twitter stock trackers lately.

I built one (https://cutt.co). Here is an open source one: https://github.com/iam-abbas/Reddit-Stock-Trends

We should all get together and build one to rule them all.

My thoughts on this: The real question is whether tracking trends on reddit/twitter can reveal a coming price swing BEFORE it happens. AND, you have to have minimal/no false positives.

I have had some success generating alerts before the swings occur (https://cutt.co/track-record/) but still am working on sorting wheat from chaff.
I never graduated with a CS degree, have never done leetcode exercises, yet I found a career in tech. I’m not trying to be toxic as you say, in fact we probably agree about elitism in the community more than you think.

What worked for me was taking on an internship way back when as a web developer, which I turned into a part time and then full time job, which ended up getting my foot in many doors, and I credit it to bootstrapping my career in tech. The landscape is different now though, this was just before coding boot camps were a thing.

Most people here will probably disagree with internships on principle, but I think they’re saying that from a position of entitlement given that they already made it.

Your outlook sounds bleak, and you said you gave up already, but if/when you decide to pick it up again, you need to focus on getting in with actual people as well as just having raw technical concepts under your belt. Maybe. It’s all a crapshoot too, so don’t weigh any one bit of advice too heavily.
Don't most you tubers and Spotify channels have patreons?
Same. UI/UX-wise and super light and blazing fast native clients - I would gladly pay like ~$5/month.
But the real risk here is that the lever will get stuck. Even if 1 person dies from vaccine - it can create huge, long-lasting case against vaccination, causing more people to choose not to vaccinate and eventually killing a lot more people.

There must be no doubts with vaccines, 100% trust in them is essential.

Now I turn on my washer/dryer or any other electric async device at my convenience when price of power is low.

1. We need that device/app

2. We need that device/app to be hooking up with your API to know price of electricity

3. You guys will work with provider to show this data

4. Pricing - may be monthly subscription model - say $5 per month if my monthly saving is > $10

To be fair, AstraZeneca wanted to ship those to Canada and Mexico, but Biden (and earlier Trump) has forbidden exporting vaccines out of US.
I don't think you have much responsibility in not specifying a license, since it defaults to "all rights reserved", thus preventing anyone else from using that code.

>Why does everything needs to be so politicized with this vaccine

It is politicized because it effects more or less everyone on the planet and people are setup to take popular things and turn them into polarizing issues for political power in politicians and social capital for ordinary people. This is how a whole lot of people seek out happiness, by being "right" in their social circles, especially in a way that shows them as superior to large groups of others who are "wrong".

Social media preys intentionally or unintentionally on this human psychological vulnerability (can we get a CVE on the human psyche?) and every bit of media wants to sell you a compelling story so they stoke the flames of A/B conflicts.

The mass psychology/mythology/philosophy of the day is based around this crap and will turn anything into a "political" issue and people just generally aren't well educated enough to think independently or evaluate situations rationally on their own so they allow their reason to be driven by systems which are evolutionarily dependent on preying on addictive human behavior.
So, two points.

First, I think facebook's global revenue per user is $30. US should be much higher. My back-of the envelope has it @ $225 per year currently ($43bn revenue from 190m users)... I may be wrong. Don't hurt me.

Second, they make $225 (or $30) per user while also maintaining a very high number of users. You can't expect to put up a paywall and not lose users. So, to reach parity, you need to charge enough for subs to replace those.

For FB, it's flat impossible. That's why I picked it as an example. You cannot have 190 million americans as paying users at any price. You definitely can't have that many @ $20 per month.
This is actually what I’m trying to do, just surprised that this step: “install a VPN in the bastion house and add the appropriate routes and settings” is taking a lot more manual configuration than I expected, was hoping for some out of the box solution in case I mess up a routing rule or network configuration. WireGuard is pretty good but still requires messing with iptables to forward the VPN traffic onto the VPC
I find myself in a similar situation, they keep removing more and more features that made me choose Firefox over the alternatives for the last 15 years. Recently I've been using Brave a bit and it seems a good Chrome-based alternative, I still prefer Firefox as my main driver, but in the direction they're headed at some point there'll be just no reason to keep using it.
There won't be ads in 1-1 or groups.

There will be ads in channels that opt in (but those already have sponsored posts in some form already often, only manually inserted.)

No. If you find some code online, or on a thumb drive on the sidewalk, and it is unlicensed, it's incorrect to assume that it's equivalent to being permissively licensed for you to do whatever you want with it.

You're missing the point. This is an anomaly.

It's not about the "oh it's worth the risk compared to COVID 19". If it's a side effect it wasn't spotted in the trials, why was that?

It's not a side effect? It was a problem in production? What problem? Was is tampered with or was an accident? What failed in QA to let that batch come to the public? Was is a storage problem that compromised the batch quality? Was it while in transport or in the local hospital?

You talk about this like background noise. It's not. It should be investigated.

It's good that this is happening, because it shows regulators are doing their job. This is what builds trust in vaccines, not disregarding odd occurrences because they seem to have no "statistical relevance". That's just ignorance talking.
I read articles from every where. Local stations had coverage of the damage and lack of "rolling" black outs, national outlets had coverage as well, and I'm pretty sure I remember seeing international coverage from BBC, Daily Mail, etc. I can't remember where I was seeing the scathing reports on ERCOT's ineptitude, but they were plenty.

To take this further, public opinion cares much more about action than inaction.

A handful of unjust police killings cause widespread protest / riot / unrest, but 15,000 unprevented homicides are largely accepted as part of life.

You can argue that they are morally equivalent, but our brains get more angry at someone doing a bad thing than at someone not doing a good thing.
How do they "get burned" by that? Not having a license means you don't get to use it and are violating their copyright if you do so (possibly except the things specified in Github ToS: look at the code on github)

Hiring committees.
I'm not sure about this, if anything there seems to have been a few services recently (e.g. DuckDuckGo, Qwant) that are supported by ads (presumably with metrics on ad performance for advertisers) but without following you around the internet. They seem to be doing ok as businesses, and it seems a reasonable compromise to me.

I'm curious about how Telegram will decide what ads to show, how heavily it will try and personalize them; will the ads be relevant to the channel you are in or follow you around Telegram.

FWIW, personally, I like the idea of a choice of ads or paid subscription best.

> Or perhaps not, given that 2020 deaths in Germany were 985,145, only 4.85% higher than 2019, and only 3.2% higher than 2018 (and so basically in line with what we would expect from an aging society).

Are we still having this debate.... Of course the overall mortality didn't change much, people stayed at home for literally 75% of the year.

Do you have the split stats for accidental deaths, road deaths, disease related deaths, &c. ? Because otherwise it's meaningless. We can put everyone in an artificial coma and get as little death per year as possible, it isn't a really interesting metric without the context.

Show HN: PopcornConcerts – Stream full length concerts for free
Hi everyone, Simon here. As a concert lover, one of the things I have really missed during the corona pandemic has been attending festivals and live gigs. So one (another) weekend at home, I was looking at some of the greatest concerts on YouTube. There's a lot out there, but I found it's poorly organized and quality varies a lot. I decided to turn this into a website with some of the greatest concerts from YouTube and combining it with concert information from Setlist.

I hope all you music lovers will enjoy my fun non-profit weekend project. I plan on adding more concerts and more features if the website finds a nice audience. Feedback appreciated.
It’s not clear to me how the public would receive these kinds of arguments. The public has little trust in government. I think they would be too skeptical to take these arguments at face value. A ban attempt would come with considerable risk it seems to me.
The XUL argument is the only significant one; and it was years ago, and there were very clear technical trade-offs.

>> What good is freedom of speech if you’re not allowed to publicly assemble because of COVID and social media is cut off from you?

From the article:

The First Amendment limits the government’s ability to regulate speech. It
does not require news organizations to treat all speech as equal, or to
provide an open forum for comments. Rather, the First Amendment ensures The
Inquirer’s right to publish what The Inquirer chooses to publish.

Freedom of speech is necessary in a democratic society in order for citizens to be able to criticise their government freely. It is not meant to protect any (non-existent) right to verbally attack one's fellow citizens with impunity. Indeed, most modern nations that have legislation that protects freedom of speech also have legislation that protects their citizens from defamatory, or libellous speech, and many also protect individuals from hateful speech that targets personal characteristics like sexuality or religion.

tl;dr, freedom of speech sets you free to punch up, not to punch down.
I think something a lot of the comments are missing (rather than just realizing it's a well hidden setting these days) is this line:

"The upcoming Proton design refresh of the Firefox web browser could increase the default size of that interface significantly."

There is a UI redesign due in a few versions and in the previews at the moment it increases the UI size quite a bit. Compact is being removed as part of "making that new UI code simpler" so even if you think normal is fine today it's going to get larger - doubly so for those that used the compact feature on the old UI.

Yes pricing is still an open question: we're likely going to end up with a spectrum of brands, with some being more "budget" and some being more "upscale". We're excited about making good food more accessible but how to best balance that that with actually making enough of a profit is the question!
if this is a serious post, I'll add my two cents. I have a experience as a dev but maybe more importantly here as a chess player and coach at a reasonably high level and the discussion of talent and work comes up a lot.

My two cents are, unless we're talking about very high aptitude in a domain (say the top ~0.1-1%), most is reachable through deliberate effort for most people.

The important thing is that time spent and effort are not the same thing. To get better at anything, you need structured, high quality, deliberate practice. Just doing leetcode for five hours a day is not automatically going to improve your coding.

What stands out from the example of the postdoc is that the first thing she did was and took online Berkeley courses on data structures and fundamentals. If you learn fundamentals before you hack away you can safe yourself a lot of time, because a lot of leetcode problems is just identifying and applying CS theory.

To get better being frustrated and sinking hours per day into something is not a healthy or good thing. Focusing on weaknesses, having a plan on how to improve, studying fundamentals even if it isn't fun or rewarding and keeping schedule is how people get better.
It's meant to be humorous, but it is not parody. You taking offense gives credence to the author's argument.
