I like NFSN, but what qualifies as "offensive" or "repugnant"? We know the goalposts about what constitutes racism are being moved; currently, being insufficiently anti-racist is grounds for being considered a racist. Certainly a site denigrating members of a racial group (with the possible exception of white people) would count as repugnant, but what about a site that, say, questions or challenges the tenets of critical race theory? What if it has a title of the form "Make X Great Again" without particular reference to Trump or his politics (e.g. "Make Regexes Great Again"?) That has been considered "normalizing hate speech" and grounds for a pre-emptive ban from open source conferences.

What, exactly, constitutes making you enough of a moron to where you involuntarily donate to a grift organization like the SPLC? Or is it a super-secret, shadowban type of thing where you can't know the rules or that you've violated them, only have them enforced against you?
Methane from human activities:

Methane leaks from fossil fuel systems: 30%
Methane from landfills: 20%
Animal agriculture, including also manure management: 30%
Plant agriculture: 15%
Other: 5%

Plant agriculture is especially rice paddies, I guess.
Yeah I dealt with that for months, but it has greatly improved.
I guess we're waiting to find out if Trump or someone will start writing there. The current big boys are all non-woke center left/right so they're not actually at all outrageous to the general public.
Correct. The US almost has it right already. Though there’s a misalignment in the US system between “funding education” and “numeracy”, because there’s 1. no requirement for the right subjects (statistics, game-theory) to be part of the curriculum that the lottery funds; and 2. there’s no incentive to study either of those subjects as part of getting an education degree, so people don’t, and so schools end up with a dearth of teachers qualified to teach on the subject. (The second thing is a bootstrapping problem — if public schools taught the subject, everyone would learn it, and so everyone would be at least a little qualified to teach it. But as it is now, stats and game-theory are college subjects, so you have to choose to learn them as part of a college degree.)

Most other countries are far further from having a MFFAM-like model, though.
All of you points are reasonable, but less so considering we can wait a few weeks and eliminate the risk with another vaccine like Pfizer/Biontech.

As the other posters of sources show, this is a very rare kind blod failure that only hits 1/3000000 people, and often leads to death. Not just a little blod clots.

German research says 7 times the amount of blod clots in AZ vaccinated already against background:

https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2021/03/it-s-very-special-pi....

https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&u=https...

My line of thinking at the moment is:

1) Seems right. It's about 5% in DK/NO. [1]

Comorbidities is about 90% in DK for deaths, this is pretty much the pattern everywhere.

In other words only about 10% percent die without "known" comorbidities - but very importantly obesity is excluded here often - it's relatively rare to find in-shape healthy "younger" people dying - that's why it becomes sensational.

I only have comorbidity sources in danish (unstrained system), but to compare to the UK this is the pattern seen in "strained" public health system - from after the NY first wave meltdown[2]. Notice how few without comorbidities. Only 17 in the age group 18-44, in 15000 deaths.

Today the NYC numbers have doubled so lets extrapolate and say 34 people have died in the age group 18-44. If 3/4 of those where obese which is pretty likely[3], then we end up with about 9 deaths out of 50000 in the 18-44 bracket in NYC, a heavily strained city with 8.5 million inhabitants.

Not zero, but seriously bordering on it noise and scale wise.

2)
Considering above ratios 4 deaths per 150.000 in the 0-60 bracket, and problems with non fatal haemorrhages that often leaves people completely handicapped still seems worse in a "semi experimental" vaccine without large scale testing yet. Again 4 healthy people have already died, two in their thirties in Norway. That just doesn't happen statistically with DIC haemorrhages.

3) The main theory is bad batches, or bad laboratories. The UK makes its AZ vaccines in completely different labs than the rest of Europe. Could also be genes, diet, local medications etc.
No matter what - the "lets just divide the NO/DK/DE" high death rates into the succesfull UK vaccinations is extremely dishonest. Right now the numbers look bad in both Norway, Denmark and Germany this is why there is already several specialists that are alarmed independently in NO/DE (see first sciencemag article).

-- disclaimer, i am not against vaccines, and would gladly take the Pfizer vaccine at the moment at least. Also seems to have way less side effects after vaccination like fever/shaking/headache/vomiting. Everyone i know who's taken the AZ vaccine has been very sick for a few days (nurses/doctors), no side effects from the pfizer vaccine - anecdotally i know.

> The specific representation (the part that has value) is protected by elliptic curve cryptography.

I don't think calling this "protected" is reasonable. You have some very weak guarantees that apply to one particular NFT platform, but this doesn't include being protected against fraud by the platform operators themselves, who can run a 51% attack whenever they want.

(And in case of Ethereum, have demonstrated their willingness of doing so whenever smart contract results prove to be inconvenient to investors.)

What do you gain over running a digital auction house on a RasPi? It'll be a lot cheaper to operate and is at no risk of having its underlying platform banned from multiple countries.

All those countries with quarantine facilities are using a handful of locations around a handful of airports or ports. Truck drivers in Europe need to stop in an exponentially larger amount of places, and even repurposing existing facilities would be too great a challenge on that scale. Again, you don’t seem to understand how freight transport works in Europe.

If you think that people who buy lotteries are morons, maybe it’s you who needs some economics education.

I've always thought of it as a tax on people who are bad at math. Is that OK?

Personally, I do occasionally buy lottery tickets. I don't ever expect to win, but it provides a few minutes of escapism here and there during the week, and I consider that a form of entertainment. A pretty good value for a $1 investment, compared with movies and pay television.

My mother was a daily lottery player, and I can't count the number of times she got something out of the New York State Lottery. $50 here, $100 there. It was enough to keep her feeding the beast.

I hope, that if my "economic output" is zero I don't get ground up into protein so I can have a contribution to society.

A token of appreciation from previous generations is the infrastructure built to benefit from.

Not everyone that went before you has mortgaged the future to buy a yacht, maybe show some perspective?
From the very top of the article:

> For various common safety issues, we can look at protections that are present in software as it is typically shipped (ie excluding tools like AddressSanitizer that are not recommended for production use):

...with a link to a five year old opinion post to oss-security as a reference for "not recommended".

To wit: "There is other stuff in this space that might be relevant, but I don't want to talk about it so I'll just make up a reason. Moving on..."

That kind of logic tells me instantly that this is spin and not a serious analysis. I know next to nothing about Zig, but I know I shouldn't trust this post to tell me about it.

You might want to read my "Tao of Redux" posts and Dan's "You Might Not Need Redux" post, which explain why Redux was designed the way it is:

- https://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/2017/05/idiomatic-redux-ta...

- https://medium.com/@dan_abramov/you-might-not-need-redux-be4...

Ultimately, it's about putting a deliberate separation between "what happened" in the UI and "how the state is updated", writing as much of your state update logic as pure functions, and being able to use that indirection to enable tracing state updates over time via the DevTools.

Also note that our official Redux Toolkit package is now the standard recommended way to write Redux logic, and it simplifies most of the Redux code you'll write:

When people say Go is a simple language, they mean that Go, the literal language, is simple. Some people are also claiming that the programs written in Go are simple, that the ecosystem is simple, or that using Go is easy, and those people are probably wrong. However, Go the language is actually simple.

Here is the Go spec: https://golang.org/ref/spec. Firefox's print dialogue tells me it's 105 pages long. You can read the spec in an afternoon and digest most of it.

Here is the ECMAScript 11.0 spec (known as JavaScript to its friends): https://262.ecma-international.org/11.0/. Firefox's print dialogue tells me it's 1181 pages long.

Here's the Java SE 16 spec: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se16/jls16.pdf. It's 844 pages long.

I can't post the C++20 spec because it's an ISO standard and it costs $399AUD for the privilege of reading it, but it's 1853 pages long in PDF form: https://www.iso.org/standard/79358.html.

On a factual level, Go is a simple language, but so is the language Brainfuck, which has a sort-of-spec that's 9 pages long: https://github.com/brain-lang/brainfuck/blob/master/brainfuc.... Simplicity is not ease of use.
Old media and Buzzfeed-esque rags had their chance to write quality journalism in the nascent Internet age. They've failed spectacularly and are tearing society apart. If this is the way forward for the time being, so be it.
It doesn't, but in my experience, the ciphers and key sizes commonly used were often not future-proof :). This rests on the assumption that nobody updated the keys/encryption components in 20 years - which I think is quite possible with such internal enterprise deployment.
The EU sets fairly high tariffs on food imports, since food security means we must maintain local food production.

MariaDB has offered online schema changes in InnoDB for several years now with continous improvement.

Their (currently commercial only) engine, Xpand (previously known as Clustrix), offers distributed SQL as well as online schema changes.

No need for an unncessary database migration if you are already on LAMP and the like to get these fancy features. However handling any kind of change should be handled with care, especially on such a large dataset. Test your rollback procedures!

Disclaimer, I work for MariaDB.
Agreed, old media already does this. The question is: does switching to an individual-focused model actually address the underlying issues?
Interesting claim, but to justify a few milligrams of metals is worse than literally tons of metal and cement is going to require a quantitative argument.

Well the way I see it if I only invest a dollar a week that's only 52 dollars a year and if it is all lost that's not that big a loss.

If a single 50 dollar win does come in it really does feel like a reason to celebrate while still being a net loss anyway.

The good part is for the big winners whose winnings are completely unearned and go right into the economy more rapidly and completely than almost any other large quantity of dollars can spread.

And I can support that to the limited extent that I can easily afford.

It's worth it for somebody to get a windfall even if it's extremely unlikely to be me.

The main choice I have is if I want to wait for a drawing or buy a scratch-off and be an instant loser.
Hi HN,

Sweatspace is a social fitness platform where users can send exercise challenges in video form. We combine chat, video effects, gamification & user's social circle to make exercising a fun habit.

Each exercise(AKA challenge) is tailored based on the user's fitness profile and expires 24 hours. Users can do solo or duet challenges, and after every successful challenge, all participants get points and a shareable video.

Here is the link to download:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sweatspace/id1550486815

Why did we create Sweatspace

Exercising can be divided into two components knowledge and motivation.
There are many apps out there that show how to do squats or push-ups properly, but we wanted to create a platform that focused on motivation from the start.
Even in the pandemic, people came up with solutions such as zoom for workouts and messaging tools to coordinate and schedule the sessions.
Sweatspace is an all-in-one solution where users can chat, collaborate, and exercise as groups.

This article measures current biomass distribution. Given that Bison herds in North America has reduced from 60 million to 30 thousand, and I suspect other species have seen similar changes, I'm not surprised by the result.

Also as a point of nuance, I'd like to say that I'm sure we have actually increased biomass density. If we had not, our farms wouldn't be doing their jobs very well. I'm not trying to say no increase has occurred, simply that it is less than one might expect. Unfortunately I don't have exact numbers to back this up though. I wasn't planning on writing all this when I woke up today, and it's admittedly not my field. Here's to hoping more informed people take over!
> There's a big content creator in my country who's barely earning 5000 dollars from it.

I'm surprised that so many people are happy to describe themselves as content creators. It's an admission that what you create is generic content for some platform to wrap in ads. It's a type of self-commoditization.
> UACH is worse than a header.

It's not. The header gives up all information by default. UA-CH works by request-only, and allows the browser to determine how much to send. This is easily controlled via native settings or browser extensions.

The API also requires a secure connection, and specifically forces the server to admit to any fingerprinting (or legitimate use-case of data otherwise).
This is exactly right. If you set out with some requirements such as 1) everything must be able to still work without internet access and 2) it must be simple enough that my mom/grandma/whatever can still use it, then you can still benefit from the convenience of these devices without all the downsides.

This is what I do. I insist that any “smart” whatever be strictly additive; that is, it must only add functionality but not remove anything. I will never buy a product that can’t be controlled physically or that requires Internet access. The net result is pretty great!

It is a little hard to tell how the per customer and lump sum compare without knowing how many customers they have.

Your lump sum represents 18,000 customer months. Equity is always a gamble but I think you should take your own words to heart.

"I made the decision to build software exclusively for Teaching Company because I believe in their product"

If you believe in this company then the equity might be more important to you (sense of accomplishment) than the money. It would be to me.

The other thing this highlights is that people should really get this contractual stuff out of the way before hand if possible. It would be a shame for either party to feel slighted as a result of this opportunity.

If it were me, and I truly believed in the company and their mission particularly given I might have worked on the app in my spare time and that I don't need the cash, I would counter with a proposal for actually less pay (potentially none) upfront but more equity. But that is me and factors in my financial situation. I would love to own 10% of an education related company that I actually believed in.

Out of curiosity, any specific features of Rematch and Easy-Peasy that you specifically like that aren't covered in Redux Toolkit? I've actually got an RTK issue open asking for ideas and concepts that we can learn from them:

"The SoftCard's immediate success surprised Microsoft. Although unprepared to take orders at the West Coast Computer Faire, a Microsoft executive accepted 1,000 business cards from interested parties on the first day. Compute! reported that the company was 'inundated' with orders. The SoftCard became the company's largest revenue source in 1980, selling 5,000 units in three months at $349 each, with high sales continued for several years. The SoftCard was the single most-popular platform to run CP/M, and Z-80 cards became very popular Apple II peripherals. By 1981 Microsoft, Lifeboat Associates, and Peachtree Software published their CP/M software on Apple-format disks."
