That's an easy way to dismiss the real harm that has been done with lockdowns. If it's cost-free, of course, let's value and protect all life. But these lockdowns have a huge impact on people, too. It's a trolley problem, can we at least be honest about that?

1: Agreed.

2: One of the problems a lot of people see barring the use of bacteriophage therapy for combating bacterial infection in the clinic is the really fine specificity of most phages to their hosts. The skeptics will suggest that you'd need to essentially design a new phage therapy for each individual infection.

With the advances we're seeing in microfluidics, diagnostics, gene sequencing, computational biology, laboratory automation, and the theory of precision medicine, that host specificity can turn from a disadvantage to an advantage. We know there are a lot of human-dwelling bacteria we wouldn't want to knock but can't save from a broad-spectrum treatment. With a personalized phage therapy, this isn't as much of a concern.
The main issue with BTC being a store of value is that it's already hyper hoarded. Look it up -- it's far, far more concentrated in a few hands than any real-world currency or any real-world asset.

Variants do compete for non-immune hosts.
Actually talking about the risk reward analysis in the media and general commentary reaction to the AZ vaccine rather than by nations. Think it's perfectly reasonable for nations to conduct safety checks and research on new vaccines

Thank you for your comment. Would you prefer to be rated by an authoritative source using inputs that are closed and unknown? Or, would you rather have your peers provide a rating in an open and transparent manner?

[I think] Crowdsourced opinions are an excellent way to make informed decisions about products/services. A great example is using Amazon.com for competing products:

Product A: 5.0 star rating | 32 reviews
Product B: 4.5 star rating | 5,264 reviews

Which product would you weigh more heavily when making a buying decision?

Keep in mind that SELLFF is positioned as a Professional Network. Any response or feedback will be relative to you, in a professional capacity. This might include the quality of the service you provide, your communication skills, did you finish the job on time, etc.

Also, any reputation you earn as a seller works in your benefit when you consult with others as a buyer. People want to work with other people who they have confidence in. This is true on Uber,Lyft and AirBnB, where both parties "rate" each other.

I think a digital reputation is a vital part of a healthy marketplace.
>> ego-deflating counterpoint to the very blokey, British energy.

Comedy isn't math. Counterpoints look good on paper but Clarkson understood that counterpoint quickly becomes compromise. Adding a female presenter would also be dangerous. The image of three oldish guys chasing a younger female around a track, or across europe, would be dangerous. Top Gear doubled down on the blokey behavior and that lack of compromise made the show what it was.
> The main goal is to make it survivable, ie. akin to the flu, and not cause hospitals to get overrun like we have seen so many times around the world in the last year.

There is a secondary main goal, one that the world should have learned after SARS v1, MERS, or the swine flu: get rid of the conditions that infectious agents need to spread. There's a reason that pandemic events have exploded over the last two decades: we have way too many animals and humans in way too shitty conditions. This means, list not exhaustive:

- end mass farming of animals in conditions that require feeding them with reserve antibiotics, washing meat with chlorine or washing eggs in order to keep the produce at least somewhat safe to serve. Farm animals of all kind (meat, eggs, milk, fur) need space and quality food (thankfully we got... mostly rid of feeding carcasses after BSE). *Keeping the status quo is only going to serve us yet another pandemic*!

- end or massively restrict shipping around animals and animal products across the world to prevent the spread of diseases (like the African Swine Pest/Fever currently making its way across Europe, after wiping out the Chinese pig farms).

- generally, reduce the amount of meat in diets. The less animals are farmed for meat, the lower the risk that some bug jumps species.

- end mass working of people in conditions that are beneficial to spreading of infections agents: enough space, enough closed off space (=ban "open floor" and "cubicle farm" setups), mandatory sick leave, no exceptions, and a mandatory send-home order for employees showing symptoms of respiratory illness. It's not good if someone is forced to come into the office or a restaurant despite having a cough. Also, unsanitary conditions for worker accomodations should be banned (e.g. no "pack 10 dudes into a 8 m² room" as it's way too common on farms). Also, to reduce stress (and thus, increase immune system strength), work hours / weeks should be drastically cut: 4 or 6 hours a day, and four days a week.

- drastically reduce unnecessary traveling across the world. This includes a full ban of cruise ships (who have been often enough in the news as sailing norovirus incubators, not to mention their climate impact), but also incentivizing companies to use videocalls and electronic signatures in favor of flying staff across the oceans just to sign a contract and other similar absurdities.

Most of what I've listed should not only be done as pandemic prevention, but also to protect the climate. I know most of it sounds either expensive or "revolt provoking", yet there is no other scientifically viable choice.
Meanwhile the blackout curtain industry is boooooming.
Yes! Good point, web Notion is exactly as slow because the problems aren't the engine.
I currently have a k3d cluster running locally with an entire product stack locally. It' nice to think that I can simply move that over to a full cluster at any time. There isn't even a change in tooling as the kubernetes context is the only change needed.
Having dual actuators (Seagate's Mach.2 branding) can increase IOPS by having 2 heads process the queue in parallel. That should bring a noticeable improvement, but it's true that it doesn't apply to sequential random (just like NCQ didn't by reordering the queue -- you need a queue).

Not sure if there will be consumer drives with this eventually or if the cost is too prohibitive.

Are they actually doing quality work in that time? What would happen if they just plain stopped after, say, 60 hours? Would the banks actually lose money?

I suppose they'll always find a new batch of people willing to imagine that they're getting a taste of billion-dollar deals and retire early. People undergo hazing because there are lots of people who want to be in the club. You may not be able to profit off the numbers, but you can at least have a perverse fun, if that's your thing.

But somehow, I'd have thought that a bank with "Come work 45 hour weeks with us for the same amount of money" would attract smart people and use their brain power to make more money.
Why is variable shadowing a widely accepted thing?
In any dynamic language (e.g. Python), everyone agrees that the following is a Bad Thing (tm).

total = [42, 13, 57] # it's a bird, er uh list
total = sum # it's a plane, er uh int
total = f'{sum'} # it's a supervar!, er uh str

And when I talk to functionary zealots, they like to point out that assigning a variable to different values (even of the same type) violates everything we learned in school about math.

x = 57 - 42
x = 13 # but wait, I thought x was 14. I'm so confused now

Given these sentiments, why do the cadre of mainstream popular languages embrace Variable shadowing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_shadowing)?

I would have thought that as computer languages became more interested in "correctness", that this loophole for cognitive confusion (and even unexpected behavior/bugs) would be discouraged or even disallowed.
People need to accept that humans are mortal and that we can’t “beat” every disease. This modern fragility is pitiful and self-destructive. Life must go on.
If it is up to each nation, that's too bad. We should be treating adults as adults, telling them "here's the information: about 30 people had bloodclots out of 5,000,000 having received the vaccine (source: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-56397592). We're not sure if any of those 30 are linked to the vaccine. If those risks seem acceptable to you, here's the vaccine."
Very cool. Please add permalinks/history state, so we can share specific hue or colors. Thanks!
Legal nootropics are fun to try. Caffeine, being a very oldskool staple of the nootropic world is my usual go-to. But there's tonnes of (legal) substances to experiment with. Just type in 'Nootropics' on Amazon, pick a product, then read all the ingredients for a who's who of substances you can use. My favorite 'stack' is caffeine 200mg + Theanine, and 5-htp+valerian+melatonin for sleep. Lions Mane mushrooms are also great, and great combined with Choline which you can naturally get from eggs.
Just another step towards the atomization of people into worker units. Who needs a well-rounded education anyways?!?! /s

And more seriously, people actually do adopt animals and bring them home or to some enclosure. There are supposedly more tigers in captivity in Texas than in the wild.

So my guess was not that crazy. Especially considering that it would be a much more captivating if less noble story than "redditors raised money for gorillas."
Oh damn, I actually just needed this today. Nice.
I was trying out a bunch of different similar products, I was not going to set up a build environment just to test software. I immediately disqualified anything that required I build it from source.

Of the ones that didn't, very few had working install documentation and I wasn't going to fix it for them just to try out their product. I did open issues on their trackers about it for them, not that they cared since nothing has been done.

Bitwarden_rs was the one that had working install documentation that didn't require a build environment. It met our requirements in testing, so I deployed it to production.
Afaik, drones also kill a lot of civilians that had nothing to do with anything.

I realize one can't just go up to their employer and say “I'm gonna work 3/4 or 1/2 now.” And it depends on how far above or below your means you live. However, we need to get people talking about this. Don't live to work, work to live. Unless you've hit the jackpot and do something you love getting up for in the morning.

It's an interesting idea, but the fraction of motorcycle fatalities caused by blow-outs is so minuscule it's far more likely the decreased performance overall of this tire would cause far more.

Unless you are assuming equivalent performance, which seems unlikely. Modern motorcycle tires are incredibly good, even (with appropriate ones) in rain.
It wasn't clear to me that you meant "flatten the curve and ride this out to herd immunity", since this article was about herd immunity via vaccination.
Space is big, but Helios isn’t us trying to go as fast as possible, it’s going the speed it is because that’s a requirement of orbital dynamics.

If we really really wanted, nuclear options could get us to a few percent of c with current tech and no breakthroughs.

On the other hand, if someone builds a von Neumann probe that eats sunlight and Mercury (the planet), it could make a Dyson swarm in a human lifetime, and that would enable us to colonise most of our causal future light cone directly from Sol: https://youtu.be/zQTfuI-9jIo
> I disagree. How do you update manually? If your answer is ssh in and manually update, that's how you end up with a pile of different versions, and no reference what they are?

On one server? What?

> With a docker image, that stuff is all pinned unless you engage with updating it.

Yeah now we're entering super silly territory. You can pin versions[1] in your debian package control file and/or on debian directly.

But in general automatic updates are preferable.

Unattended upgrades is often configured to only install security updates. Better to have stuff potentially going offline due to an update than running insecure versions of software.

What, do you subscribe to every single mailing list of every bit of software you're running in your docker containers, so you can manually update them when there's security issues with one?

You better have some automatism here or your setup is strictly worse than what Linux distributions could do decades ago. Like not just worse, it's broken.

> e.g. here's [0] a post from 12 months ago about someone having an issue with nginx not restarting.

That's ubuntu, not debian. Very different approach to non-security updates.

[1]: Here's how the depends line looks in one of my debian packages' control file:

Depends: python (<< 3.0.0), ffmpeg (>= 10), imagemagick (>=8), webp, clamav-daemon(>=0.98.0), cron, haproxy (>= 1.7.0), psmisc, ntp, file, certbot, firejail, exiftool

Don't seek motivation and how-to answers. Those will only get you going for so long and you will revert back to your old behaviors.

If you are serious with your inquiry, you will examine yourself and seek the truth - to understand why you are not driven to pursue the things you say you want to pursue. And a solution will emerge.

As for the one who has true desire, there is no choice but to pursue the thing he desires and to do them as if life dependent on them; as if there was no tomorrow.

In Sweden we're also seeing very low flu numbers for 2020-2021 but we have almost non-existent mask usage so I wouldn't attribute it to masks alone. I think social distancing plays a big part.

I think this is the correct take. I also think most people on HN misapprehend the legal concept of "monopoly" and even the legal concept of a "trust". Not to mention the fact that Apple isn't even the main problem when you're dealing with FAANGs. Not by a long shot.

All that said, I don't know why there has not been a concerted effort to change laws instead of going after FAANGs which, as you rightly point out, are in no danger of being found in violation of any laws that would trigger a breakup. Why are we relying on anti-monopoly or anti-trust laws to go after Apple? It's lunacy. Of course the supremes are going to laugh that out of court. We'd, at the very least have to go after the majority marketholders first.

But if you change the laws, you can make what most FAANGs do illegal in a single stroke. Imagine a law that simply said no tracking for any commercial purposes at all under penalty of $50000 fine per violation. That would get Facebook, Google, and to a certain extent even Amazon off our backs instantly. Why not go that route?

Let me make it simple for you. There was no large increase in deaths in BC from 2019 to 2020.

In 2019 there were 38,379 deaths in BC.

In 2020 there were 41,116 deaths in BC.

The overdose crisis and population rise easily account for the increase we see.

Even without these there is no large increase in deaths that warrant the destruction of lives and businesses. Which you are helping to do by supporting the "safety".

There was a study done that asked people on the left and right to try to imagine what the views and feeling of the other side were. People on the right were able to do a reasonable job of identifying the positions of the left. People on the left were almost completely unable to identify the goals and values of those on the right. I think that’s a big part of the problem. The left doesn’t understand what the right wants and until they do, they will not be successful in engaging the other side.

No, I'm measuring them in results. But the whole point of the OP was that you have a limited number of results per 24 hours. If that's true, then surely generating results on your personal project before work means you'll generate less at work?
Thanks!

My answers to your points:

1. True. Maybe I could make it also disabled to restrict interacting with it altogether.

2. I didn't design the tool as a more serious colorpicker or color scheme generator, so I wasn't thinking about adding more advanced features.

3. I thought about adding a search box that would accept many possible color values as input, but I feel like, adding anything will make the design more cluttered at this point. So, for me, adding stuff is more of a design challenge than a technical one.
