So ubiquiti can't be trusted. What are the suggestions for running a ssries if home and small office networks in rented buildings (no cabling?). A UDM + nano ap / flex HD as wireless bridges & mesh wifi gave VLANS, performance monitoring, and an ease of use that let even a junior UI dev implement use it easily and correctlywhile complying with all lease req's.

With the world of work at home exploding there seems to be a big missing link here.

I'm sitting with a big list of q's that I'm not sure I have a decent amount of time to answer. Does switching to pfsense/openwrt/something open source work with mesh? With ease of set up? Do enterprise brands offer anything worthwhile here? Do I have to regress to letting machines connect to unsecured networks?
Or better yet, have someone else walk into the brick&mortar store to buy it for you
Yes, that's correct.

After entering a CD4+ cell, HIV uses reverse transcriptase to copy it's RNA into DNA, enters the cell's nucleus, then uses integrase to splice that DNA into the host cell's genome. From that point on the host cell is permanently infected. This is one of the few exceptions to the "central dogma of molecular biology", which otherwise says information can't flow back into the nucleus.

The reverse transcription process is notoriously error prone, which is the reason why HIV is able to mutate so easily and develop resistance to antiviral drugs.

Most cells will go on to immediately begin building new HIV copies; these cells will quickly die out. A small number will go back to a resting state, only to reactivate months or years later. This "latent reservoir" of dormant cells means that even if you eradicate all the viremia from a patient, the infection will come back. This is why we can't cure HIV.

There is a very small window after infection before the virus has had a chance to establish a latent resevior where it can be successfully eradicated. This is how prophylactic drugs as part of PEP can work - if given quickly enough.

There's a really good animation someone posted here a few days ago that illustrates the mechanics: https://vimeo.com/260291607
Given they were stupid enough to spin up some VMs, I doubt it was someone that knew what they had access to. A skilled attacker would stay dormant sucking up all data accessible via the AWS API (including s3 stuff) and potentially keep access to the infrastructure for years.
You get great insight into the character of the leaders of a company watching how breaches are handled. Companies that put the customer first are transparent, and quickly take action (even if painful to customers) to ensure that customers’ data and systems stay intact and confidential. Companies that try to gloss over, hide or downplay things indicate that the leadership does not respect their customers and is only interested in maximizing profit/minimizing loss.
That would be the reverse of the usual strategy, wouldn't it? Most companies seem to try to pin breaches on sophisticated hacker groups backed by nation states. But then, they benefit from the perception of a threat that's impossible to defend from (so there wasn't anything they could do) - whereas Ubiquiti benefits from people thinking the attack was just a small actor that couldn't possibly threaten Ubiquiti's customers.
There's always confounders like this.

Well designed studies find ways to exploit the enrollment structures. E.g. you let a randomized group of n kids on the wait list who wouldn't end up with services jump the wait list and compare them to n kids stuck on the wait list. Or you randomize half the kids you help to half-day and the other half to full day.

What you describe shows up in "benefits" of various charter school structures. The charter school kids do better than the kids in comparison schools... but if you compare the charter school kids who won the enrollment lottery to those not offered admission, they usually don't look better.
An ant is crawling on a patch of sand. As it crawls, it traces a line in the sand. By pure chance the line that it traces curves and recrosses itself in such a way that it ends up looking like a recognizable caricature of Winston Churchill. Has the ant traced a picture of Winston Churchill, a picture that depicts Churchill?

Show HN: A decentralised VC firm using Bitclout?
Experiments are fun.

I recently came across Bitclout, and I love the underlying concept. It’s ballsy, will it work? — time will tell. I think Bitclout as a thesis is moving towards the right direction. Decentralised Social Media networks will be the next thing and allowing users to own their own social equity and monetise that is the future.

Last year I started an experimental fund, Khoob (www.khoob.group) The idea was to invest in and build interesting Indian companies (a Betaworks / Expa for India). Thus far we have made 4 investments, and are building 4 companies. At Khoob I’m the solo GP, no LPs — so plenty of room to experiment.

Currently Bitclout is aiming at helping individuals productise themselves. Individuals are brands, so why not an actual brand? The VC (venture capital) space is also undergoing a metamorphosis (eg. Sahil Lavingia's recent distributed raise for Gumroad).

With that said we setup : https://bitclout.com/u/Khoob

Currently the revenue into Khoob comes in the form of:

1). Dividends from investments / companies we have built. (Revenue Sharing)
2). Carry from liquidation events. (M&A, Secondary Sales).

At the end of Q2–2021 we will be using 10% of our proceeds to purchase Khoob coins on Bitclout. Purchasers of our coins will be invited into a mailing list where we will be opening up data regarding current / future investments and companies we are building.

This experiment will be about understanding whether we can decentralise Khoob as a fund and bring on (micro)LPs in a radically different way.

Would love your thoughts/feedback.
I mean, isn't that why she was asking for them to do professional testing?

And if it's a remediation site with VOCs above vapor intrusion risk levels, don't you think the government should investigate?

Seems like a bigger issue that the remediation was rushed through, and no one would respond to complaints that there could be issues with that rushed remediation.

Hazardous waste isn't cell towers. We know hazardous waste can make people sick, and even kill them -- depending on the chemical and exposure. She mentions concern that vinyl chloride was there above vapor intrusion risk levels and no one would tell her why it wasn't cleaned up. That sounds nothing like EMF panic.
But why use a μEmacs when you can use actual Emacs, with its comprehensive scriptability? μEmacsen made sense on older platforms like CP/M and MS-DOG, but they're pointless today.

The impressive thing is that they don’t let outside echo chambers color (pun not intended) their investment judgement with widely dismissed and reported failures like Color.

You can explain to your friends that group text messages are horrible, and there are far better ways of having daily conversations with separate threads.

Nearly all of my 40 something friends from the Midwest have both telegram and discord, however telegram is primarily used as its just better on mobile. We have groups for all kinds of topics, cars, garden, tv, movies, sports, politics (ewww), etc. If you aren't interested in lawncare simply leave or mute the group in remain in touch via other mutual groups. The only guy not in the group is someone who still prefers phone calls.

I've yet to not be able to convince someone that separate threads/groups is way better than a bulk text group.

This is a system that I develop and maintain for years and use it on various multiyear projects that usually have 300+ pages of documentation of various types - functional specification, infrastructure, user manuals etc.

The system bundles up many different tools and frameworks you may need in doing such task and which would take a lot of time to setup correctly. You could add it to your CI/CD pipeline for continuous documentation delivery to various environments and end user groups while still allowing them to download entire thing for offline use.

Her quasi-experiment [1], which resembles an interrupted time series design [2, 3], does tend to support a causal implication of “living in that apartment”. There seems to be something about living in that apartment that is causing those symptoms. From there, hypothesizing that it could be the air contents doesn’t seem like that much of a stretch to me.

There are a lot of books covering historical subjects on the web. Their contents usually won't show up in a general web search though. I have learned a lot about the past from old books. Google Books, the HathiTrust, and archive.org are useful here. Newer books are often available on Library Genesis.

As an example: have you ever wondered about the state of toxicology in the late Victorian era? What poisons were known, what poisons were detectable (and how), and other nuts-and-bolts details of a certain kind of murder mystery? This information is hard to find in modern web pages -- particularly if you don't know enough to tell who is a trustworthy guide to the past.

But a HathiTrust search does the job easily.

Use the "advanced full text search" form. Search for the word poisons. Restrict results to English language documents in the years 1880-1900. You'll get a wealth of books back, like this illustrated 1885 text:

"Micro-chemistry of poisons : including their physiological, pathological, and legal relations; with an appendix on the detection and microscopic determination of blood: adapted to the use of the medical jurist, physician, and general chemist"

https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=nnc2.ark:/13960/t9d51...

Or from 1883:

"Indian snake poisons, their nature and effects."

https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=coo.31924003195769&vi...

1899:

"Practical materia medica for nurses, with an appendix containing poisons and their antidotes"

In a lot of recovery circles there's an underlying concept of "getting out of your head" where the methodology that arises in each circle attempts to get a person to leave the circular thoughts in their heads and do/think something else.

If some group of friends shuns you because they insist on you using Facebook, then I have bad news for you: they might not be such good friends as you think.

I’ve been off FB for close to 10 years now and I can say with confidence that it has not had any measurable detrimental effect on my social life. My friends know I’m not there and know how to contact me, and they do. An event that is exclusively organized on FB is not an event I want to participate in, so I don’t. Dumping FB probably improved my social life and mental health since I’m not wasting so much life “scrolling the feed” anymore.

>For the majority of the population it’s a mild respiratory virus

I know someone in her 40s who got it and is not overweight. She said it was terrible and that she's definitely getting the vaccine because she never wants to get it again.

What exactly would you consider a non-mild respiratory virus?
Yes! It wasn't until I'd posted the question that I realised its aptness for today (Easter Sunday).

However I'm not saying people should believe in an afterlife. Rather I'm reflecting that not wanting there to be an afterlife could conceivably manifest as the flat belief that consciousness does not persist after death. And if I am the stupendous Creator running a simulation game for developing AGIs then, when it comes to selecting candidates for the next phase, the criterion of their wanting to persist might be the decisive one.
If you don't have low ratios and tracking, you end up targeting the 33rd percentile and seeing:

* Where the lower-third of the class gets with instruction with slightly too difficult material and not quite enough coaching.

* Where the middle-third gets with excessive coaching on slightly too easy material.

* Where the upper-third gets on their own with little help, occasionally bored by and impeded by the path of the overall class.

This is somewhere affluence matters-- if you have parent volunteers showing up and hanging out to intensively coach (under the teacher's direction) the lowest readers and to challenge / help higher readers pick out books... it makes a big difference on how well class time is used. The teacher can aim square for the middle. And the stronger kids get some enrichment and opportunity for further growth.

Why the 33rd percentile? Because a classroom with 1/6th of kids not getting it at all and 1/6th kind-of getting it.. is infinitely more workable than a classroom with 1/4th not getting it at all and 1/4th kind-of getting it.
The typical radioisotope generator is a Plutonium-238 source like the MMRTG on the Mars rovers. The Plutonium decays by alpha emission with a half life of 80+ years. The problem is there is a very limited supply of Plutonium-238 - we use the entire supply for Mars Rover - and it's very controlled material.

The CAB starts with a non-radioactive material like Cobalt-59 spheres placed in a ceramic matrix. It is then put into a nuclear reactor where it turns into Cobalt-60, which releases energy by beta and gamma emission with a half life of 5 years. This charging can be done every couple years to generate more Cobalt-60 inside the device. Such a power source is something like 40x as power dense as the Pu-238 source and since it's made of high temperature ceramics, it can go to very high temperatures which is very useful for space generators where you have to reject heat using blackbody radiators.
As anecdotal as it can be, I also know people in their mid-thirties workout complicating pathologies and in good shape that ended up being treated in ICUs and on ventilation (one with a collapsed lung, pneumonia and a bacterial infection).
PDFs can be produced by mapping completely unrelated characters to glyphs that appear as actual characters (basically, they'd embed a "compacted" font that only has the glyphs required for the document, and then map them to ASCII or something). This was quite common with pdftex documents not using ASCII characters in the past, thus making text unsearchable (and even more so when going the ps2pdf route). For example, you'd have a Cyrillic document in which when you selected text in, highlighted text would be some jumbled ASCII characters.

The fact is that PDF can display one thing and have underlying semantic text be something else entirely (frequently used for OCRing: you show actual scanned images of text, and put the invisible OCRed text as searchable ).

It works in the other direction too: you could solve the hyphenation problem in the same way by having PDF include invisible non-hyphenated word in place of the hyphenated one for searching.

Still, PDF is mostly a laying-out format, and while tools have evolved to provide some "meaning" to rendered content, it is never going to be semantic in the sense markup languages can be (i.e. there is no "emphasis", "quote" or "header" command for PDF, instead, it just uses a different font). To put things into perspective, TeX files can be semantic (if a semantic TeX .fmt like LaTeX is used) like HTML/ePub, but PDF is an output format, just like DVI is.

But manual Arch installation is really more like "teaching a man to fish" -- and in that way is the opposite of gatekeeping. Anyone with the curiosity and patience gets to have their hand held through a learning process with all of the intricacies explained and context given for the user to make their own decisions along the way.

That said, I welcome the installer option as well. Once you've been through the manual process a few times, it becomes less about the journey and more about the destination.

I run a small network with one big router and several access points, and at least with Mikrotik's gear, it's pretty much fire and forget. It has CAPsMAN[1] to centrally manage wireless networks, but I've found it to introduce unneeded complexity. Auto-updates[2] don't need any central management either.
