Time will tell if that's actually enough by itself to get the reproduction number less than 1. If everyone who wants a vaccination has one and yet we still have tens of thousands of new cases per day and hundreds of deaths and no downward trend, then I think continuing with masks and social distancing is going to be necessary.

I'm hoping that as the vaccination numbers go up, we'll eventually start seeing new cases drop off a cliff as the virus runs out of people to infect. (Though I suspect that we'll have problems for awhile with groups of people who hang out together and for whatever reason don't get vaccinated.)
Scrooge in A Christmas Carol complains about the “excess population,” but I doubt he would support a UBI. Either way, complaining about too many people is not a new notion.

This is an interesting discussion point. There are things worse than death and if you're frozen then you won't have a chance to escape them. Basically if you think I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream is possible then you need to consider cryogenic freezing somewhat more carefully.
Do you have any resources to read more about the research teams and their findings? Most of the articles I'm reading are very hand-wavy about the specifics/science and I'd love to actually learn more about the cause and condition.
I’ve also seen the reverse happen recently.

A neighbor listed their house, then watched through their many home cams as people came for viewings.

As they walked through the house she looked them up on social media, made easier having actually seen them to match faces to names.

Then start ranking prospective buyers by their social media profiles, and behavior in her house as they looked around. The cams have mics so she could hear comments too.

Overall was pretty horrific to see how she profiled people.
IMHO Twitter is great, I think I find more interesting things there then HN. I't more how you curate your own feed, don't follow people that are "political" or have some "agenda". My feed is mostly about math, art, physics and EU policy level discussions. Same thing with youtube, you just have to train the AI so it knows the sort of things you like. And don't comment, no one cares.
Really cool! Kind of remind me of FlutterFlow from W21 batch :)

Its not cancel culture because no one was cancelled. A woman posted a shallow and clechéd understanding of what a horror movie is and it went viral. She wasn't banned for "community guidelines", she wasn't fired from her job she didn't have her paypal confiscated. She got some angry emails and retweets for a flippant opinion of the kind she regularly makes irl with zero consequences. This is rule 37 in action and blaming "platforms" is just a call to actually cancel people the author disagrees with.

There is a problem with platforms. But the problem is that they encourage unsuspecting and naive people to pimp their every thought and action for attention from internet strangers in exchange for getting blasted with targeted ads.
It is much worse. China is currently testing crypto money that expires after a certain amount of time. Forget saving.

I think you are absolutely right, but that unfortunately means it's Twitter that has to change. We certainly aren't going to alter the design of humans within the time span of one generation.

So we should build communications platforms that account for human nature.
I would be interested in seeing how DynamoDB fronted by DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX) performs in a latency comparison such as this.
So called establishment media has in no way been critical of the movement though. Or other adjacent “movements” or ideas.

The spike protein "springs" into an elongated configuration to help it latch onto a cell wall. Several of the vaccines have purposefully modified the protein used in the vaccine to keep it in it's unsprung form. The idea is that you want the antibody response to be focused on the unsprung protein so that you can prevent it from attaching and springing in the first place. From what I understand, the vaccine researchers have tested several variations of the spike protein in animal models to try to select one that will yield the best antibodies. The immune system is quite complex, but in theory it would be possible to design a protein that resulted in better antibodies than a wild infection. An analogy is it's like showing your immune system a lock and asking it to come up with a key that opens the lock. A different lock might produce a universal key that opens many locks.
> Especially considering the fact that autoimmune disorders have been on the rise for decades, and we don't know why.

Could it be that we are simply diagnosing them better?

Just throwing it out there as a plausible explanation since autoimmune disorders are commonly diagnosed based on a multitude of symptoms none of which definitely indicates an autoimmune disorder independently; similarly, I find it highly likely the rise in cancer diagnosis to be at least partially linked to better diagnostics too.
This has nothing to do with authoritarianism. These are three incredibly authoritarian geopolitical entities struggling against each other.

And compared to NATO, Russia absolutely is the underdog.

But sure, good on you for missing the point. It's very principled to just ignore reality. It's not like Russia got absolutely fucked and millions of people died when they tried to open up to Western Europe the last time. What matters really is that we can pretend that Russia is the bad guy and we aren't when they occupy a region whose majority want to secede anyways from another authoritarian oligarchy to prevent a military alliance who only ever operated offensively and was involved in the deaths of millions of people to settle on their borders, right after the puppetmasters of that region trafficked the Russian elections to extract hundreds of billions from its economy at the cost of millions of deaths.

But surely what matters here in this incredibly complicated situation is to follow the Moral (tm) course of action even if it drastically increases the risk of war and suffering.

> at any given time management hears programmers arguing for both sides

I think it was Andrew Grove (of Intel / High Output Management) who boiled this down to the following algorithm:

(1) Invite all sides to a meeting. (2) Ask them what their decision is. (3a) If they agree, implement the decision. (3b) If they disagree, tell them to discuss it, then give you their decision at the next meeting. GOTO (1)

His point being that managers are the least informed (by virtual of organizational pyramids), and therefore the least effective at picking solutions. Build a team that can arrive at consensus, then trust the team.
Yes, and no.

By default, we expect moral people to conform to the laws of their jurisdiction. Not because the laws are necessarily morally positive; most laws are morally kind of neutral, but because the predictability itself is a good virtue.

Of course, that default presumption can be overcome with a relatively low burden of proof.
Sounds like a good explanation.

Also, if I have two passwords AA and AB that are similar to each other, then, if I use only AA for a while, I easily forget AB, or start including parts of AA in AB. — Is there a word for this? For forgetting and messing/mixing up things, because they are too similar to each other
My greatest worry is that the freedom of speech lasted for so long because people were careful about what they used it for.
I've seen enough of the bad faith "accountability" arguments in favor of cancel culture to know the common refrain.
If the code is entirely theirs they can do whatever they want including going all proprietary for all new releases tomorrow or moving to MIT.
As you know, most AI is curve fitting or representational learning. So the question is, is the statistical distribution your model learning a static one, bound by natural laws like physics or biology, or are they human systems with changing distributions where the machine itself can cause effects and impacts. Your example is of the former, while the ML model predicting 'success at a job' or 'credit worthyness' falls in the latter category. The latter category is harder in every way and has ethical concerns because it necessarily can change (or usually keeps the same) the man made social systems.
Yes those are good examples of cancel culture. What point are you trying to make or are you just making assumptions about me?
Love what you're doing in software.

> He can still taste sriracha, but he is nearly suicidal from this (partly regret for taking risky decisions).

if survival isn't the only measure, then the same principle could be applied to suicidal feelings of so-called "non-essential" business owners who lost their livelihoods and years of savings during the lockdowns. One could argue that a sense of taste isn't "essential" either.
There are people who wake up and say "I'm gonna get involved in some gossip today". I'm not sure how much the algorithms create this behavior, or just facilitate them doing what they already wanted to do

Algorithms don't choose stories that appeal to the lowest common denominator. People do that. The algorithms just reflect what people are already talking about
Building better will put lots of daylight on Twitter.

Maybe just building better is the right thing to do.
Yes but they import what is considering offensive as well as their social movements outside of there and people only care about those things even when there are more important and pressing issues in their local communities, see for example Poland lots of marches in favour of blm even in places where there is less than 0.1% of melanated population or even in places where there is n o data about police brutality. Meanwhile real social issues go unnoticed all because of the American cultural export and their ideological social imperialism. And I am not saying that the things that affect SF don't affect anyone else but MOST issues in SF are different from the rest of the planet and focusing on what the bay people are yelling about on a global scale wont help .
I've strangely not had any problems with CORS. Most of my time is spent wondering why CORS doesn't preflight something, when it's obviously a very bad idea to call it without a preflight. (The answer is: legacy. NCSA Mosaic did something, so Chrome 89 has to do it too. The result is that we spend 6 million person hours on XSRF tokens and carefully-drawn security vulnerability brand assets.)

In U.S. rural areas can very be sparsely populated , the effect of neighbors and family nearby may not be as strong perhaps.

Or perhaps this could be because job losses have had heavier impact on industries based in the cities, like travel and tourism and less so in rural towns, which in turn kept the rates lower.

It's true an SGX compromise means most of the MobileCoin privacy goals are still met. But dsome compromises would open up new methods of traffic analysis, and the SGX-dependency still makes the consensus process dependent on Intel's trustworthy key-management.

If I understand correctly, Intel could (if compromised or untrustworthy):

* revoke any node's SGX keys - knocking any number of consensus nodes out at zero cost
* create false attestations of what code was run (which would presumably be detectd eventually)
* dominate the consensus mechanism with its hand-picked SGX nodes

Among other things, this means Intel could turn off the MobileCoin chain, if commanded to do so.

(I could be somewhat off on some of this – if so, corrections with explanations very welcome.)

So, if your threat model is "Intel Inc is always trustworthy & secure", Signal & MobileCoin are wonderful. If you have doubts about Intel's trustworthiness/security, the designed privacy properties start to degrade.
Signal will now forever be tainted by crypto, even if the feature never actually makes it into the app.
Honestly, the only way the GPLv3 could have succeeded was if everyone had been forced to use it. In order to succeed, it would have to literally become law.

People are always free to reinvent the entire free software ecosystem. They are also free to choose different licenses. I knew it was over when LLVM compilers started replacing GCC in a lot of systems.

> "We Need To Get Rid Of Twitter Trending Topics"

"We"? Are you Twitter CEO or on Twitter board ?

Right now Twitter trending topics are specifically designed as part of the big outrage machine. Many of those topics are obviously written by professional outrage activists.

Twitter is not about cancel culture. It's about using outrage to increase engagement. Cancel culture is just one natural outcome of the outrage machine. Cancel culture increases engagement from both sides and Twitter just loves it.
Twitter is addicting, that's why. People who use Twitter the most both love and hate Twitter. It's like a video game -- actually, I'd go further and say it is one. Sometimes you hate the game you're playing at a particular moment, but you still play.
Same here. I like using twitter, it connects me with a lot of amazing people in my various hobby communities. Retro computers, cars, ham radio... It's fun to be able to talk to folks I hear / hear about in podcasts, blogs, and youtube videos.

But... that's definitely a "bubble." People aren't wrong about how awful twitter is for debate. It works for me because I talk to people with shared interests and values. Arguments rarely work, the short message length and fast pace make it difficult to do anything other than play for points.
>A driver release for some hardware needs at least some QA, so the assumption that doing this is just "free" because its software is incorrect.

Nvidia detects mining workloads in software based on heuristics and disables them. Probably causes more support burden than less and took extra engineering time to implement, not less.

well, it requires sacrifice on your part to stop messaging your friends. Most people would not give up their friends for "the greater good" of stopping privacy intrusion (which won't have an effect until the majority of people give up whatsapp first).

I can see why most people won't fight the good fight.

> The problem with the council house sell off was not replacing them on a 1:1 ratio -- for every house sold, a new one was built.

At least you agree that there is a problem with supply.

> It also reduces the number of people renting, which lowers rental prices, which is also good.

Converting renters into buyers without building more housing reduces both the demand for and the supply of rental housing. This will not reduce rental prices.

> It may increase the price of new houses for cash buyers. I have little sympathy for people that wealthy.

Your sympathy is not required, but you should at least see how landlords paying higher prices for housing leads to higher rents for tenants.
Cancel culture isn't bound by politics, ethnicity, gender, etc. American conservatives are equally as guilty of this as progressives.

At some point I stopped checking my voicemail and it seems to have broken. I am better off for it, because now I no longer am notified about new voicemails.
I once had a teacher in school who got mad at me for daring to take a sick day. As a moral tale, he explained that he taught class even when he had a slight cough, which turned into pneumonia. This was to show how dedicated he was. Whereas I, a high schooler, was thinking, "Doesn't that mean you SHOULD have taken a sick day, so you wouldn't have progressed to pneumonia?"

If we get anything positive out of Covid, I hope it's as you say, the cult of soldiering on while infecting others has stopped.
Some form of this is happening to me on hackernews as we speak.

A long time ago, I had a lot of karma, almost a thousand. I was a model citizen for HN. But at some point, I must have posted a controversial opinion, and then HN decided they wanted to cancel me. If it wasn’t for a downvote limit per post, my karma would be below zero by now. Instead it has dwindled and deteriorated slowly over time, trending toward nothing. Nothing I do will move the needle to recover my karma, I’ve simply accepted that someday my karma will be so low that I’ll be shadow banned forever.

Part of this is my own fault, as my posting habits changed to more bitter and cynical tones as a result of knowing that no matter what I say I will accrue inexplicable downvotes, so why spend effort softening my words? But it’s amazing that sometimes a completely mundane post suddenly has -4 downvotes out of nowhere.

I wish I could see a plot of my karma over time, and know the exact point it all went wrong, so that perhaps I could learn and conform a bit better to the popular opinion. Unfortunately I know of no such tool.

False. Sure, platform failure as described is a real thing. But the point here assumes that there are not roving gangs of people who have weaponized this platform failure as a form of virtue signaling.

Again, until you've had a few thousand people attempt to cancel you for a misunderstanding it's easy to keep repeating the lie that cancel culture doesn't exist. It does. It's real. And claiming it doesn't exist is the snake eating itself.

It would be ethical to make data sets public and verifiable to eliminate questionable reproducibility.
> Water resistance =/= waterproofing.

I know that but don’t understand the point of distinguishing here. Waterproofing a battery achieves water resistance. In either case the claim was that it isn’t applicable for their portables.

> Also, the keyboard and chassis in a Macbook are neither water resistant or waterproof.

I’m still not understanding how this distinction matters. You claimed waterproofing wasn’t applicable to these devices. How does saying it’s not done well enough support that? Are you just arguing to argue?
JingOS v0.8.1 Release and Download
Hi all,

This is Iris from JingOS.

We have released JingOS v0.8.1 for x86 devices. Users can download it on the official website or use OTA to upgrade directly.

Here are the improvements:

Retain resolution ratio settings in KDE settings.

Solve the layout problem of desktop in wide screen.

Download link: https://hk.mikecrm.com/N0wgIm4 56

And we will start a crowdfunding campaign for the JingPad A1 - the world’s first consumer-level Linux tablet 10. You can take a look if interested.
when the user simply wants to get from point A to point B - you give them API to deal with axles, pedals, tires, transmission, etc...

sounds like kubernetes?

I think by being SNIP-20 they would hide the amounts by nature of the private smart contract execution but would still show the sending address, perhaps the receiving address would be hidden as well due to the private smart contract execution.

I haven't used it yet because I havent acquired any SCRT for the transaction fees on that blockchain, but any variable should be hidden for a smart contract (of which tokens are), while the initiating address writing to the blockchain would by visible for consensus purposes and state management.

I’ll give it a whirl.
I don't get why this gets downvoted, it's a fair comment.

A group for emigrants in a foreign country would be reasonable, but just segregating by gender and race like this where there is no language or cultural barrier is unnecessary and could be harmful.
For what it is worth... you can buy industrial PC/PLC from Beckhoff with FreeBSD installed. PLC= programmable logic controller.
