The trouble with Burton isn't inaccuracy so much as unreadability, or at least clumsiness, because he translated into an idiosyncratic variety of English never used by anyone else before or since.

Here's an example from the introduction to Dawood's translation, which I happen to have handy:

"But she rejoined by saying, 'Allah upon you both that ye come down forthright, and if you come not, I will rouse upon you my husband, this Ifrit, and he shall do you to die by the illest of deaths'; and she continued making signals to them."

I'm sure that's an accurate enough translation of the relevant bit of the Nights. But it's not good English. "Allah upon you"? "do you to die by the illest of deaths"? Maybe the idea is to give it an exotic flavour, but the stories themselves provide enough of that, and so far as I know the original language wouldn't feel exotic to a native reader.
J&J, one and done. In any future scenario where the vaccinated have privilege over the non-vaccinated(as has been proposed with vaccine passports), then J&J is the better choice. 1.5 months to freedom vs 15 days. People can say out loud otherwise because it's not the right thing to say, but deep down J&J offers the best incentive for a non-vulnerable risk-group member.
"Whichever one is available to you" is a platitude that assumes all our motivations for getting it are the same. You're doing it out of concern for X, I'm doing it because chances are I'll have to, etc.
As a recent expat to the US, I don't actually know, why DOES the medical office want my SSN?
Mostly immigrants who haven’t become citizens yet. But there are others.
Effectiveness doesn’t really mean much between these vaccines. Please watch this video:
https://youtu.be/K3odScka55A

From what we know so far, any of the approved vaccines are excellent and no one knows for sure if one is better than the other. The only logical thing to do is get what is offered to you as soon as possible.
That makes no sense. If all money was USD would literally everyone be in the banking industry with no market for corn?
The goals aren't mutually exclusive, they just depend on time-frame and how well things go.

Regardless, even if it is the former goal, it is still a potential threat to TSMC profits. Personally, I would not look at it in terms of Liu (mis)understanding, but acting in his own self interest to maximize his profits.
Where did you get the idea that the technology's been superseded?

The NANOGrav collaboration is trying to use millisecond pulsars to determine if a galaxy-wide analysis of 47 pulsars can detect gravitational waves.

The team says that Arecibo was instrumental for their data analysis because the telescope was unique in its radio sensitivity:

"Although NANOGrav does not expect the situation to result in significant delays in detection due to years of very sensitive Arecibo data already contributing to their datasets, the loss of Arecibo is a terrible blow to science, and will impact NANOGrav’s ability to characterize the background and detect individual sources in the future."

Relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/1404/
> It seems a lot of people don't really want to discuss this, but I think the facts are relatively clear: The mRNA vaccines have an effectiveness above 90% and none of the others comes close to that. Biontech and Moderna are so close to each other that there's probably no argument for either of those.

There are error bars on those point estimates, and they're wide, because the trials didn't have a huge number of hospitalizations or deaths. You also can't compare them across trials, because they were tested on different populations, at different times, under different conditions (i.e. dominant variants, but also temperature, disease prevlance, etc.)

Based on everything I've seen so far, the approved vaccines are all essentially statistically indistinguishable, with the caveat that the J&J vaccine is one dose, the mRNA vaccines are two, and the AZ trial was kind of a mess. But the choice of dosing strategy was always somewhat arbitrary, based on the inherent sloppiness of a combined phase 1/2 trial. Had Pfizer and Moderna decided to go with a one-shot regimen, the trial would have reported a very similar effectiveness profile to J&J.

I strongly suspect we'll see better data on all three that will put them within a margin of error of each other, and suggest better dosing strategies.
Netflix charges a monthly price. They could have an open YouTube-like service (no subscription required) which adds value to their offering, and tries to bring people into a paying Netflix subscription.

It's not just the ads that are the problem with YouTube. It's also the way they can just demonetize anything that doesn't please advertisers, and the way their recommendation algorithm works. They don't even show me a lot of the videos from people I subscribed to on the app's homepage. Wtf?

I have SSHed into a remote server from my phone out of necessity many, many times. When you get that e-mail on debian-security-announce that some package on one of your servers has just received a security update to fix some serious vulnerability, then ideally you install that update and reload the service right away, instead of putting it off for later.

The vast variety and diversity of cultures and peoples historically in Northern Europe discovered after 10 minutes of looking makes both "white supremacists" and white-frighters look equally extremely silly. I understand the idea of wanting to provide an open space to discuss issues of various different people, but it sometimes pays to push your comfort level and be open to new experiences.

It’s not “dusting off historical documents” it’s official government policy on both sides of the straight that there’s “one China”.

One could argue that the only reason why the ROC hasn’t declared independence is because they’d fear that it would provoke an attack from across the straight, but the reality is that independence is not a cut and dry issue in Taiwan.

Take some time to actually educate yourself on the issue before advocating for nuclear war.
I think I understand where you’re coming from, but let me ask something: when there are bugs found in your code, due to subtle implications of the design or whatnot, are you ever tempted to add a unit test to check that this situation doesn’t return?
Don't POSIX and portable C both require key=value? If so, isn't that more than just convention?
You’re complaining about our government’s systemic dysfunction, which is not something I’ll argue with. I think we are circling the drain and already totally fucked, honestly. So when I talk about making some aspect of our society work better (e.g. healthcare) I’m presupposing that we’ve managed to sort out a government that’s halfway interested in making things work.

Put another way: it’s a false dilemma to say we can either accept the non-attempts of our non-functional government to fix issue X, or throw Americans to the capitalist wolves and trust them to build us a libertarian utopia where the free market solves all ills. The latter is extremely naive.

Despite what you seem to assume about me, I do believe in capitalism up to a point, actually. I think it’s the best way to bubble up drive and vision to a place where the individuals so endowed can move us forward as a civilization. But, when we’re talking about administration of a broad application of settled technology (in the broadest sense), the advantages of capitalism tend to be subsumed by blind profit motive; this gets us monopolies, it gets us rent-seeking and racketeering, it gets us abuse of consumer “rights” and outright human rights in many cases. I really don’t buy that all of this is the government’s fault; corporations with unchecked power have done some pretty horrible things.

Your claim that profit is necessary isn’t true, either, except in the broadest reference frame. One example: public transit is a huge economic enabler for dense cities where driving isn’t practical. It’s fine for it to lose money considered on its own, because it drives overall growth.

Now, do we need to do a better job at the interface between public and social services (e.g. the people who run the trains) and private enterprise (e.g. the people who manufacture the trains)? Yes, we do. The same would go for an expanded socialized medicine program, or just an attempt to stop the bleeding with our current system. But this brings us back to the same place: everything is broken, and the outlook is bleak. And the proposed solution of a “well regulated” (imagine I’m waving my hands around) free market does not convince me, simply because profit motive does not necessarily align with human happiness and well-being. History is full of examples of just how incompatible those two things are, and the present has some good ones too.

Funny how US media write 'Pfizer' and EU media write 'Biontech'. Patriotism, probably. Or for Reuters, maybe Brexit!? What's it usually called in Asian, South American, or African media?

'Pfizer/Biontech' or 'Biontech/Pfizer' is just too long!
What you're describing is effectively what doctors did: they left their entire calendar free until the last moment and only took appointments then.

It turns out this is not actually what people want; people want this availability to exist, but also do not want to be turned away if they book ahead of time, which points to this being a capacity problem, not a scheduling problem.
> but is it too fast?

It is not.
A lot of things are coming straight from C#, so it’s battle-tested there before inclusion I guess.
Are you mixing up Flatpak and Snap? Ubuntu supports snap by default and it’s much more feature rich [1].

I found the ability to install JetBrains products through Snap particularly delightful (they don’t support flatpak).

Nice work. A.I. Nation, a new podcast from WHYY and Princeton University, reveals how artificial intelligence is operating in the background, and sometimes foreground, of every major story, trend, and event in our modern lives. I made some notes with https://audext.com/ transcription service. So many useful info.
Yeah, the article is just confused:

> Envvars have some legitimate usages (such as enabling debug logging) but they should never, ever be used for configuring core functionality of programs.

As though logging weren't core functionality!

The actual thing that is bad is grabbing an environment variable in the middle of your program. You should grab all the configuration in one place and use it to configure local state that is transparently passed around. Furthermore, flags, env vars, and config files are all just maps from strings to configuration, so you should use some system that can transparently layer them on top of one another. All of my new CLIs use flags first and fall back to ENV vars if the flag wasn't set.
It is actually X lines of code, not 10*X lines of code condensed into X lines with code golfing techniques. :)
Tariffs like that can backfire and prop up non-innovative companies. The US steel industry is a good example. It’s still based on WWII technology, and there’s guaranteed income regardless of whether it’s competitive.
Agreed - it was a good marketing play to get people on board. I am really not sure where it goes from here, and then when they need to monetize after they hit their growth it will be full of advertisements.
Interesting dilemma. Let's take race and politics out for a moment.

Suppose I arrange a meeting for a group with a specific interest. And then suppose people then attend my meeting who disrupt it; I'd be within my rights to ask people to leave, right, because it's 'my' meeting?

Now... does that basic principle change if a) we make that specialist interest related to race or minority issues, or b) I'm a politician?, or c) it's arranged by (e.g) a students' union?

Genuinely interested in people's views on this...
I am surprised that these stories on UFOs from mainstream media outlets haven't trended higher here on HN. They have been revealing information on this topic for years, but the reaction here has been generally dismissive. Given the extreme implications this has, I don't understand why more of you aren't curious!

How to Increase Email Deliverability Long Term
Amazon Advertising | Front End Engineer | New York, NY | Full-time | ONSITE/HYBRID (remote for now)

https://amazon.jobs/en/internal/jobs/1412492/front-end-engin... (for better results, don't apply online - message me first and I'll make a referral)

My team owns the campaign building experience for Self-Service Performance Advertising. We meet the demand of worldwide advertisers to reach full-funnel audiences, both on and off of Amazon. I'm looking for a front-end engineer to be a reliable, capable contributor to this team’s mission. You will own the design and implementation of major end-to-end features. You will also be a part of a community of SDEs and FEEs, where there is a strong spirit of collaboration and support. You will regularly work with fellow engineers, designers, product managers, and engineering leaders. This role necessitates a comfort-level with ambiguity and a desire to create, iterate and improve.

2+ years professional experience in large-scale front-end software development required. This is fully remote for now, but we'll eventually snap to Amazon's on-site policy, which will most likely involve some hybrid working model. Team is centered in New York City.

Contact: benhaas@amazon.com (I'm the SDM for this team, not a recruiter)
40 years from now we will look back at the 2010s and 2020s as an ideological dark age.
I'd expect that google has something significantly more advanced than simply fetching every linked image in an email and storing it separately. Additionally, I'd guess they're doing this ahead of time, before you open the email. But it's a guess.
If mining becomes unprofitable -> miners will drop out -> difficulty goes down -> profitability goes back up.

Miners are always necessary to process transactions.
When I receive an html email, I default to thinking there is nothing of value in it, and I don't read it. I use email as a more formal text messaging, or often group text messaging, system. Marketing newsletters, etc are just a clutter. But I do get a lot of them, so maybe they work for others.

If you're talking about dealers, they're very different from the manufacturers. Pretty much every car has someone who's bought it already (whether that be an end consumer or a dealer) by the time it rolls off the line.
When mining is not profitable (such as just after a halving for a miner who was already on the edge of profitability), miners leave the market and the difficulty rate adjusts until the market is once again in equilibrium. Transactions do take energy, but currently only a fraction (about 1/7) of the mining reward is paid for by transaction fees alone.

An interesting question is whether the network can stay secure if the difficulty drops to ~1/7th of what it is today, or whether something else will have to give. (For what it's worth, even at 1/7th of the energy use the network is still incredibly wasteful by design.)
