On its face the UK has administered doses to over 25MM people thus far I believe (remarkably hard to find the exact number to date from an official source with a simple google!) and unless you are among the oldest on HN or in remarkably poor health most of those people would likely be at much high risk of complications than you would. If complications were anything but extremely rare there would be many, many cases by now.

Additionally, perhaps you are better equipped than I to know, but I believe you could control for any risk you perceive (which I think is ridiculous, but to each his own) from having someone inexperienced administering the vaccine by getting it from your GP.

As for the transmission of COVID-19, if you require absolute proof that vaccination will prevent all transmission then you are setting your bar far too high and your position is indefensible.

To start the presumption is that it is very likely that vaccination will at the very least reduce the likelihood of transmission because while there are viruses like Measles that can still be transmitted in such circumstances those cases are the exception to begin with.

Furthermore evidence is building that vaccination against COVID-19 prevents people from carrying loads of the virus that can be transmitted, if you are quite as committed to this line of argument as you seem to be I am sure you can find the published and pre-pub studies out there. I am confident that if you went about booking yourself an appointment for a month from now by the time your appointment were actually up you'd have lots more evidence to avail yourself of - and you'd always have the option of declining at the time!
That problem is self-inflicted, though. The person you send the link to can use the AMP link just fine.
The whole article is riddled with lies and misleading points.

> they didn’t go to BBC’s website; they view a copy of the BBC’s content on google.com

That's exactly what a CDN is. The only difference between AMP cache and CloudFlare is that the latter uses some DNS trickery to show BBC's domain name, whereas Google can't. Google solved this in Chrome, and there are other ways to solve this with Web Packages [1] and Signed HTTP exchanges which allows the content to be served from Google but with the original url, without DNS changes.

Democrats aren't a unified political party the way Republicans are, especially on issues like regulation of business. Some Dems are corporate-friendly and want contributions from lobbyists; others are social democrats who are distressed about corporate dominance. So it depends on who you're talking about: AOC and Joe Manchin aren't going to have the same perspective.
I think their main draw is as long as you have a pulse they give you margin and risky option trading. I use Vanguard for my retirement, but if I want to do any risky plays and feel like i'm in the big leagues, then Robinhood is the only place in town.

They also provide easy access to crypto, which a surprising amount of non tech people use. Since Coinbase and such is alot scarier.

I don't think they'll ever be #1, but I think they will consistently have a good following and most don't care much about the trust that was lost with gamestop.
What extra work are you referring to? The need to setup video calls?
I've tested plenty at work and don't really have any complaints with any of them, worst case they will perform as well as an equivalent laptop and usually better due to more thermal headroom.

If you're optimizing for price and power consumption get an older SKU with an Atom, if you want more horsepower anything 10th gen with 4 cores will handle just about anything you can throw at it, and the idle power consumption is quite good too.
This comes across as completely unreasonable. Not only must he be removed but the entire FSF dissolved? What exactly would this fix?

The argument here is that reducing error rate/supporting error correction may be exponentially difficult, a bit like increasing clock frequency is now in classical computers.

Slightly irrelevant sidetrack/goalpost move: I wonder if page speed or page experience should even be a strong ranking factor, considering so much online time is spent in apps vs in mobile web [1]. There will be a time, perhaps in the past for many users, when most search results are just vehicles to open things in apps, and therefore ranking mobile results strongly by their mobile website performance/experience would make as much sense as ranking them by their non-Javascript experience.

I'm not working on V8 anymore, but I doubt things will change until that last source of RWX is gotten rid of. It is particularly challenging for Wasm because many compilation threads are cranking in the background, tiering up execution, while the program actually runs. Until that is fully done, I don't expect that many actual ROP attacks will appear.
Gradio does not use WebSockets for its interactivity. The UI will be slower than the others.
Then they'd better stop torturing themselves because they don't need Jira. It's kind of product you use only when you have no other choice or maybe when it's the only tool you know how to use.
You are completely over estimating what american software developers make. I work as one for a public university with good benefits and vacation about a months worth per year and I make almost exactly what you make.

There are also mysteries that we can map, but still can't figure out. The weather is one of those - we can map the entire world, but we've yet to be able to create a model at a scale that allows us to make accurate predictions of more than a few weeks.
The irony is that "no politics here" is, in itself, a political stance.

There's a spectrum here. I'm sure there are words baked into a knitting pattern you would find acceptable, and words you wouldn't. The place where you draw that line is a political decision.

And, lets be honest, we both know what online communities are like. If you draw no line at all you'll attract 100 awful people for every principled free speech activist. And if you draw a line, any kind of a line, a proportion of your userbase will spend their time tiptoeing up to it and rules lawyering it for fun. You can't avoid politics being an ongoing issue in any community.
Very interesting. Cortisol is a creativity killer for most people, so I guess it makes sense that cardio reduces your creativity.

I'm extremely curious why cardio can trigger such vastly different brain responses. My guess is that it has something to do with different hormone responses in different people, but I'll be following the science eagerly on this one.
There are plenty of people who are interested in doing that. There isn’t a shortage.
Instead of throwing out the names of logical fallacies as if they applied to this argument please explain how this is a straw man?

> Almost all political activism (in America at least) is either pointless group therapy (e.g. Women's March), astroturfing (e.g. the "election fortifiers") or actually destructive and thus evil (choose your own "mostly peaceful protestors").

>I can see no other explanation for why the most progressive institutions in America, universities for instance, are among those most frequently labeled as bigoted, racist, white supremacist or otherwise "problematic."

It's weird how you're pretending to make a statement about political activism in general, while only casting aspersions on progressive and leftist activism, using popular right-wing pejoratives ("mostly peaceful protestors") and even "election fortifiers" which is I believe a QAnon meme.

>Yes, highly contrarian take, but if we ended all political activism tomorrow, we'd be better off.

It isn't at all. Pretending to be apolitical while shitting on the left is so common it's practically banal around here.
I am in my late 20s and I don't do all that new age stuff.

Girls are literally just for getting my balls emptied.

No is Maybe.
Maybe is Yes.
Yes is Yes.

I am here, I work and eat and sleep just to have sex with girls. I am unashamed and unburdened. I don't use the internet, I just talk to all girls from 18-40 everywhere and 60% of them make me blush.

When I die, I won't look back crying over how I could have been more woke.

Get over it guys and girls. WELCOME to nature.

I've been wrestling with this question for the past two months. I'm using React/Node/Mongo and it's okay.

I knew those platforms really well, but I still wasn't all that productive for my first prototype. Now that I've started my fifth, things are getting much better.

The key: don't start from scratch! I can move very quickly now because I've been building up an ecosystem of components, tools and patterns.

Is there some way to find a full-stack app template or high-quality open source examples for your most familiar stack? That's probably the optimal approach
It was indeed!

Azul also has a separate closed-source Zing JVM which includes their C4 collector which could be described as an "uncle" of ZGC.

But yet these users never deploy a non-google debloated world.

Billing on line is the same thing. Unless you are on a trusted site (Amazon / Apple) you can just get hosed trying to cancel subscriptions with jack up pricing etc.

Same thing with spam - at some point users stopped trusting the hackers and developers and migrated to more controlled worlds (ie, gmail etc) which blocks HUGE quantities of the junk.

I just wish hackers spent some time trying to make users experience and lives better rather than the constant push to spam them (EFF wanted to pass laws banning anti-spam measures), now AMP (which was amazing) is being attacked endlessly and the list goes on.

Google has a commercial reason for pushing this stuff - the web was turning into a trash bit (flyover ads with audio etc etc).
No it was a mocking rhetorical question for the op.
more like 98% lol
Indeed, that human rights thing in particular is a total joke. I'm sure those awards were the result of some kind of negotiation but by doing this the UN just completely undermines itself in the public eye.

The last 6 years have proven that their process team is beyond wildly incompetent.
Exceed expectations.

Take this to an extreme. If they expect you to write a program, do it a little cleaner than they expect. Figure out what metrics matter to your team beyond getting the product out and show you can bring value beyond your code.
The software engineer finally understands political science. I would ask you for your opinions on certain issues but unfortunately they are but unsolvable with technical solutions.
> Clearly, this expenditure pattern is a massive misallocation of resources. The last 20% of network hashpower provides vastly less value to the ecosystem than those same resources would if they had gone into research and core protocol development. So why not just.... cut the PoW budget by 20% and redirect the funds to those other things instead?

I would prefer probably the other way for Bitcoin: keeping at least 1% inflation for securing via proof of work would be great, but as it's immutable (unlike Ethereum), the two networks will be even more different over time. I view this as a great thing, we don't need the same system twice. I love how boring Bitcoin is just like I love to see the new UniSwap version with its great improvements.

Intel to spend $20B on U.S. chip plants as CEO challenges Asia dominance

Both articles are light on substance and facts and thus not very trustworthy.

It rather sounds like a bad trolling attempt, including the names of several well-known persons in the industry who certainly didn't sign this.

Can't see any reason why this should be linked on hn.
As someone with a background in Physics I get a very strong Gell-Man Amnesia vibe any time Physics is discussed on HN. The takes are nearly always bad and generally not even wrong, it makes me seriously question all discussion on HN.
That looks like an interesting read for sure! Thanks for the link.
Fortunately for me, 95% of AMP pages that show up on my search results are low-quality news websites crawling with ads and the Taboola chumbox, or pages stuffed with affiliate links like "Best Protein Powders for 2021". Search results that appear on the AMP carousel are generally not websites I would visit.

But maybe that's the point?

You can get embedded devices with TLS running in 200K of RAM. Cypress has WiFi MCUs based on Cortex M4 running their WICED stack which is a customized FreeRTOS, LwIP, and MbedTLS. I can't wholeheartedly recommend it as a platform because their modifications to reduce memory consumption break the MbedTLS API in subtle ways that make porting code more difficult than it needs to, but it is possible to get secure networking on something less capable than an RPi.
tl;dr basically your friend never even emailed them about it and lets you run around "completely terrified" and "flabbergasted" because everyone is so uninspired to fix it.

mmmk
...which is interesting. Two unrelated ships lost power at the same location on the same day? Curious.
After 10 years and still reading the same, as we stuck in the past. The bad Symbian, if Elop was a Trojan horse or was just a scapegoat, a deflection.

What strikes me is the love and admiration for a product that proudly can claim that was from the very start. Privileged to be part of that diverse "mutant" team made by Ari, Ansi, Raouf and Yannick. Ideologically satisfied that we supported open-source projects and financed their development.

At the same time, Im also curious why no one talks if a security framework was designed to protect the privacy, of billions, of consumers. Or if the EU was ready to offer digital protection by investing in companies and the relevant ecosystem. Bottom line, the issue was never simple, was very complex and multidimensional, perhaps geopolitical at the core.
Take for example the Huawei case, Finland is too important to the west to be embarrassed in the same way.
So complex environment to explain that an Elop needed to clear the mess, take the blame and move on.

For me the outcome had positive effects, Finland became a startup nation. All Meego employees evolved their careers in global companies. I dare to claim that Microsoft adapting Linux was caused by the infusion of Meego people through the acquisition.

So be happy that you were part of a profound change, as fans or contributors.

The key question now that I have for you. What is the next step beyond Meego, Jolla?
How Gnu/Linux can make a comeback into mass-market commercial products?
How a 150-year-old company such as Nokia can benefit from that?
How consumers can benefit from Linux products?
What is the evolution of Linux in relation to AI?
How the related communities and fans can be united to create new business models and services?

Bottom line, instead of being nostalgic, let’s use our passion to create something new. Please accept my intellectual challenge and engage by offering answers.

Surely, being nostalgic is making me depressed when thinking about the lost opportunities.

Im here and available for something new and big. So please inspire me with new ideas!

Could you please ELI5 the difference between ssl and tls. My office is also moving to tls 1.2 and the communication seemed to use both ssl and tls interchangeably. The Winndows registry has entrees for both ssl and tls. I am confused.
I'm not saying this to be pedantic (I loved the joke), but to share the coolness of special relativity to others who may read your post.

The fundamental particles, kingon, queons and republicons, all travel at the speed of light, and are presumably massless. In the timeframe of the photons, and other politicons, they travel instantly from point A to B; so they communicate the King swap instantly.

The solution of the paradox is that each object has a unique inertial frame. Therefore, the King is not dead until the light cones of the dying King and his subject intersect. If the Queen of England dies in London, she's still alive to her subjects in Auckland for 4 hundredths of a second until the news reaches them through the center of the earth.

That's 40ms for light to travel through the Earth. Lag in New Zealand must suck.
Another old paper. The defenders haven't been sitting still.
The S&P 500 just didn't exist before 1957, so it can't say anything about back then. Remember S&P 500 is actually a specific (actively-managed!) large cap index.

I'm not sure what the return on all US stocks is since then, but Japan's market has only just returned to the level it was at in its 80s bubble.
The problem is that the Netherlands, and to an extent ASML, is basically shut down due to COVID restrictions. EUV equipment is the bottleneck here.

We can't really expect supply chains to get back to normal and innovation to continue until absolutely all COVID restrictions are lifted.
I don't use any social network besides linkedin, reddit and hn if the last one counts as a social network, spending an average of 45 minutes on all of them each week.

> Focusing on 70% of users to the detriment of 30% seems a lot less defensible than focusing on 99.9% of users to the detriment of 0.1%.

Ah, but now you’re measuring a different thing than the GP, users vs scenarios!

I’d hazard a guess that at least 30% of users need to log into a router at some point or another. I hope it’s more than 30%, because everyone else is likely paying ridiculous prices for a crappy router from their ISP.
This is just tourism. It's cool but not the same thing as exploration/discovery.
> Some have stood the test of time as a work of art like The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.

I tried watching The Cabinet once. Maybe I should try again, but, as far as I remember, the quality of the video was so bad that I don't think I had even a chance of appreciating the movie as a work art (at least not in the way I usually watch movies); and I think it was my impression at the time that no copy with better quality existed anymore?

Was it easily watchable for others here who watched it, or was it necessary to approach it studiously, e.g., rewinding every so often and slowing down the playback, to be able to appreciate it at all?
From the article pjscott linked:

> Public goods include knowledge, official statistics, national security, and common languages. Additionally, flood control systems, lighthouses, and street lighting are also common social goods.

How do you gobble up street lighting? How do you gobble up national security?
It's enjoyably playable. I haven't noticed any bugs or warts that have bothered me for years. It was a different story several years ago.
The amount of effort it can take to the the actual link to the article is just insane. Trying to share something through your phone that has been AMP'd is basically signaling it's not worth the effort to send the article at all.

Add that to how untrustworthy the link looks, it's just terrible execution on an idea that might have merit.
Economies of scale work against that model. Unless for hyper-specialized chips, and even, there is no way low-volume companies can compete against the industry behemoths.
Well I happen to agree with OP, and I found your "big dick, thug of this street" energy off-putting.So there is that.
It seems to me that the opportunities you are describing will be rare. If we classify liquidity providers into static and dynamic, under an efficient market it should be expected that the static liquidity providers will over time distribute their funds efficiently along the curve. The event you describe will only occur if volatility is greater than expected and the dynamic liquidity provider has a large share.
I'm not referring to the pedophilia but to the furry and diaper and other stuff that the author is disparaging along with the rest.
The implication is that there is something beyond the Standard Model which has been essentially completely bulletproof for the last 50 years. Nothing outside truly unknown phenomena, dark matter, dark energy, etc. has ever invalidated it. We know theoretically there has to be more physics but have had no experimental inkling that was really the case.
Or contamination, or measurement error, or fraud...
Dang.

Good for the stock options holders, bad news for the rest of us.
I am a tech person and I have only maintained AMP is a blight. Anyone of us, with even a smidge of business sense could see what they were doing/going to do for quite some time. The people who argued for its benefits very much lacked perspective (or didn't care) outside of the immediate technical effects of speeding up mobile sites. People in tech are not particularly homogeneous in their opinions on a lot of these things and you probably saw a small slice of the various opinions.
It is the FQDN, but the .com.example notation specifically is generally called big-endian notation (it puts the most significant part first), the UK used to use this with JANET's NRS opposed to DNS.

We notate IP-addresses like that as well:
- (MSB) fe80::1 (LSB)
- (MSB) 10.0.0.1 (LSB)

However, while the TLD is the most significant tree-wise, it is probably not the most significant to the end-user, who is going to "news (in) ycombinator (in) com" instead of "com's ycombinator's news".
If they operate on a chemical/biological structure that humans have then yes. Just nobody go designing viruses for hypothetical aliens, ok?

If you have a pedigree at any well known "tech as a profit center" Silicon Valley company, you will likely be treated as a celebrity at a non-tech company and given a senior position doing those very activities you are trying to avoid.
