Sounds like your typical reheated, cluster-of-blandly-positive and vague feel-good marketing. Not sure what exactly you're so enamored with, or what you're projecting here.

(Also the phrase "giving back" implies you've been doing something unjust. You only give back after you've taken. But all just business practice is about fair exchange, so there's nothing to "give back".)
I invite you to read the thread I linked, because this whole discussion has been rehashed several times over on HN already.
The 65+ group are to a large extend already vaccinated or have begun vaccinations with other vaccines in Denmark.

The expected overall delay from not using AstraZeneca until all adults have been vaccinated is 3-4 weeks.

Current death rate in Denmark is 2/day. Population 5.8 Million.
Those were...games...
Denmark as low number of cases and down to 7 day average of 2 deaths. Assuming they have lockdown measures in place they aren’t risking much from dropping AstraZeneca.
Another approach if you're getting a new phone/number is to just not set up voicemail in the first place. Then the spammers' calls go nowhere.
What a huge shame. The risk/benefit analysis does not support this decision at all.

The risks of blot clotting from a variety of other sources are orders of magnitude higher (looking at you hormonal contraception) but those are risks that large sections of the population gladly accept.
Google had a revenue of $180B in 2020, and their EBITDA was $55B. I'm no accountant but that sounds like an absolutely insane profit margin. 8-12% would seem much more palatable, so that means they have over 25B of excess profits they could spend on 500.000 middle class incomes for content moderators.

YouTube represents 10% of Google's income BTW, so the other 90% of middle class incomes could do moderation for their other services.

Is that naieve?
This feature seems really great, I have been waiting for a long time for them to fix filtering on hostname and port for OSX. This is really annoying for local development with docker. https://1password.community/discussion/99568/add-port-number...
It's easy to formulate it this way, but the sad reality is that these are actual people reacting in this way, sometimes mindlessly, sometimes because it fits their worldview, sometimes because they believe that by expressing their anger they will really make the world a better place. It doesn't matter if it's Twitter, Facebook, or any other platform, digital or analog. Social media just acts like an amplifier for all possible opinions.

It's a common theme, actually: many people believe that everything they don't like should be eliminated. That's exactly the opposite of one of the best developments of our civilization: that many cultures and people with completely different worldview can live peacefully next to each other and even collaborate for the common good.
They failed to deliver and respect the contract with the EU. This and what their CEO said about the differences in contracts between UK and EU (timing and best efforts - while the differences did not justify the different treatment). They cared so little about PR that some science communicators (like Burioni in Italy) stopped to defend the AZ vaccine because of the total lack of statements and communications from AZ, even if they have a positive opinion about the vaccine itself.
All the vaccines have 100% efficacy in preventing ICU admissions so far.
- PSTN is well-established. The phone network has had global reach for a very long time, probably longer than the Internet. Phone numbers have been part of people's lives for a century.

- Some locations in some countries are probably still using mostly analog switching equipment and can't upgrade to cellular or anything more modern/secure for various reasons.

- PSTN has government-agency
or at least a subsidized/privileged monopoly status in most countries, so it won't die a natural death.

I just wonder why it took until iOS 12 or whatever for my phone to be able to drop calls from unknown contacts.
Because Manjaro is a different Linux distribution from Arch Linux, and have a different selection of packages.
I agree. But it is actually Pop!_OS :)
What would also help is if the UK and the US would export vaccine to other countries, like the rest of the world does. Sharing is caring?

I have always used Linux PCs. The tricky thing is finding a good small case that can support enough drives without breaking the bank. Currently I have an old Haswell i3 in a MiniITX Fractal Design node 304 case - it's fine, but it only supports 4 drives.
Could you expand on what you mean by a variation of Signal? To me, Signal’s main feature is just that it’s a reliable E2E encrypted messaging app, implying two ends to communication. A blog post interface implies one-to-anyone communication, so I’m confused what part of Signal you want to emulate.
Likely the ISPs that are doing the worst job are limited on the edge, not centrally. Much harder to game the numbers when the connection to a house is awful.
WASM is a much better compilation target than Javascript (and at least as important: it frees Javascript from being a compilation target, instead JS can focus on being a programming language written by humans again).

I'd argue that the main point of WASM is not the performance gain, but that it opens up a fairly straightforward path to use different languages on the web (e.g. it was possible to upstream a WASM backend into LLVM, but if the Emscripten team would have tried to upstream an asm.js backend into LLVM, they'd be laughed out of the room I'm sure - and asm.js also wasn't fast without special handling by the Javascript engine either).

Also don't forget that the above blog post is mostly about "WASM isn't as fast as it should be when using AssemblyScript", which is more of a problem to solve for AssemblyScript than WASM, because when used from C it's fairly easy to get "near-native" performance.

PS: all the disadvantages you're listing (like the linear memory layout) are actually massive advantages (for instance when trying to optimize cache misses) ;)
Yeah, that was an issue. I cannot tell how much of an issue, because I have zero experience with medical trials. As do most people, I assume, getting upset about that. Regardless, AZ got approval in the UK and from EMA in the EU. And these entities job is clinical trial assessment.

Unless I am going to refuse any and all drugs and medical treatment, I will have to trust e.g. EMA that the stuff I take when being sick is safe and working as intended.
Does Denmark actually have older people to give it to? A lot of EU countries are restricting it to over 60s only, but AFAIK the Denmark vaccine program has gone quicker than most EU ones; there may not be many if any over 60s available.
Because they aren't 'available'. The EU is currently at just 15% vaccinated. Stopping the use of some vaccines means it will take longer and longer to vaccinate people during which time more people will die, not to even speak of the other negative effects of the prolonged pandemic.
This is a fascinating example of cultural differences.

I wonder if this provides some insight to which societies will be more or less likely to allow driverless vehicles, which suffer conceptually from the same type of trade off.
That may have worked in the pre-iPhone Internet, where it took effort to become a part of communities, and everyone implicitly understood that. Now, it's a rock vs. a hard place: the masses want centralized platforms, but those centralized platforms are proving cancerous to society.

DOM manipulation

Browser vendors have done a lot of work on that over the past decade or so. It's nowhere near as slow as it was in the early days.
Because in the during the four week delay in vaccinations many more people will die from Covid-19 than would be affected by side effects from the AZ or JJ vaccines. The truly responsible thing to do is to continue to administer the AZ and JJ vaccines until the other vaccines are available.
Supply. I would agree with you otherwise, but if we rely solely on Pfizer and Moderna it’s going to be well into 2022 before the Western countries get vaccinated. I read today Canada was supposed to take deliver of 10M AZ doses, which would vaccinate ~1/7th of their population. That’s not happening now.

My Polish cell provider has an option for disabling voicemails altogether, is that not the case in the US?
This decision seems illogical to many commenters here, but I assume the decision was made by professionals with all the data in front of them.

Which then raises the question, why did these professionals make a decision so different than the "obvious" opinion here?
There's a slight difference here - freelancers are bringing money into the country from outside. Local employees are just moving the money around. And even if the freelancers didn't pay income paxes, they still payed VAT (20%!). So the country already benefited from VAT and influx of capital.
the ABC has missed the point here that Murdoch controls how the narrative is framed around most news and current affairs stories.

Regardless of whether or not he holds a stake in them, nearly every Australian news entity from online publications to talkback radio exists downstream from The Australian (Murdoch's flagship paper). The stories they choose to report on are the focus of the news cycle, and the points they raise on each story serve to plot out the battleground.
In political journalism this is even more prevalent, as journalists unwilling to toe the party line aren't given access to government press releases and must rely on content filtered down through News Corp and its contemporaries.

It's also worth noting that the ABC is increasingly beholden to the coalition government, who it depends on for its funding, and the coalition government is in turn beholden to Murdoch, whose power over the press keeps them in power.

Note, also, that the major competition mentioned in the linked article (Nine/Fairfax) is chaired by Peter Costello, former Liberal party treasurer under the Howard government. Balanced competition indeed.

In a 'normal' economy that would make sense. However, Central Banks have gotten involved in buying stocks and as such, stock values have been hugely inflated. Many companies that might have otherwise not succeeded in a 'normal' market might have been able to survive due to QE. Which is part of the reason why more and more investors try to find alternative investment opportunities like metals and crypto.
I guess that a decision needed to be made in a timely manner to provide guidelines for those who get their second dose before end of April?
Complete nonsense.
Do you honestly think the Danish medical authority gives a shit about the squabbling between the UK and Germany over AZ? To the point where they would even condemn people to death and put their careers at risk?
I do not find that plausible at all. What I found plausible is that you are too gullible and do not realize that your "impression" was fed to you by the media, who definitely have a political agenda, one way or the other.
^ This is misinformation.

AZ is a profit driven pharma manufacturing company. Oxford University developed the vaccine.

When Oxford licenced the vaccine to AZ -- it was at the institence of Bill Gates a major donor to Oxford and shareholder of AZ. The licence allows AZ to make a profit -- after the pandemic.

Before a certain 'letter to Oxford' from Gates, Oxford was planning on giving away the vaccine to anyone who wanted to manufacture it.

So I find it particularly disgusting that people are falling over themselves to associate AZ with altruism when the company isn't really even holding up it's bargain.

Rumours are that AZ is constantly trying to make a profit by shipping the vaccine produced in Europe outside Europe. It can make a profit this way because it only has to sell 'at cost' but the cost varies depending on the facility that produced it giving rise to a profit incentive.
Alright! Who will they sell their remaining doses to?

The numbers (77% of vaccinations were with the BioNTech vaccine) suggest that they are doing just fine with the much more expensive but less controversial option.

Which is cool, but some countries are just looking for raw vaccine for now, no matter which one it is.
And there we go ... some indication that it is satrire would help because it just looks dodgy otherwise.

And now I don't trust you one bit, even though I may well be on the same side as you!
Thank you, it went through quite a few iterations, trying to make it as low fidelity as possibile while keeping an eye on accessibility.
I very much agree and share a similar experience.

Struggling with ADHD is not a matter of not being able to focus. Part of the issue is directing and keeping attention on non-pleasant tasks that are stacked up against a brain chronically low on dopamine and norepinephrine transmission.

As someone with diagnosed and treated ADHD, these articles are misleading. In my opinion it's dangerous to claim "Do this ONE behavioural thing and your ADHD goes away (or gets easier.)"

After struggling with ADHD for 25+ years I can tell you: These life-hacks don't work. Please, consult with a medical professional instead. It'll save you years of agony and disappointment.

Again, if you have – or suspect – ADHD, work with a psychiatrist to discuss diagnosis and treatment options. Period.

Quoting Dr. Russell Barkeley "ADHD is one, if not the best-understood psychiatric conditions. We understand it for several decades now - it's also called the diabetes of psychiatry because there's treatment"[^1].

So, we know what it is and have known how to treat it. It's a neuro-genetic disease, and we have had working medications for – I think – 50 years including the obvious methylphenidate and dexamphetamines.

After reading the article and so many like it, I feel frustrated because I think they're predatory. They're targeting neuro-divergent people like myself. And boy, did I fall into those traps over and over again until I enrolled in actual medical treatment.

I'll assume that Jacqueline writes and published this in good faith to a point. My smell-test says otherwise - but please correct me if I'm wrong: The article smells like a classic "authority" post that's designed to generate leads for her mailing-list via the "free"-for-email ebook "YOUR ADHD STRENGTHS" just below. Once singed up I imagine I'll... [conjecture!] get an email drip campaign for a week providing "value" to join her community to eventually be offered an intro offer for $37 with an upsell for $197 etc.

There are a few threads related to saving, and I wasn't sure which to jump in to, but I wanted to share a few of the ways we've tried to make saving better in the newer extension.

First of all, we have a new "Generator History" section, which contains passwords created by the generator. These are always available if you need them, but don't show up alongside other items, so are less important to clean up.

We've also been working on a brand new saving experience which is currently in beta. If we miss a field from the page, you can add it before you save. You can also add tags, and when updating items, see a side by side diff of the changes. There's a screenshot here if you're curious: https://twitter.com/oliverdunk_/status/1382302050369875969?s...

It sounds like you have a subscription so if you haven't already, I'd encourage you to give the new extension a try. I totally understand that native app integration might be a requirement for you there, and I'm sorry that it felt like you were getting mixed messaging. Really both things are true - we don't have a timeline for this, since it's a big bit of work and we want to get it right. Support are absolutely correct too though - we're actively working on this, and the integration with 1Password for Linux's beta is the first step, with support for other operating systems very much on our mind.

I'm not sure where 'supposed' comes from. OP is arguing that the way the world works in their mind, is how it is 'supposed' to work in real life.
Big reason why industry have chosen C or C++ in these safety critical applications is the fact they are standardized and their caveats are well known. Two years is definitely too short time for Rust to become something so stable that it could be utilized in these fields.

I personally would definitely want to see the shift towards Rust but theres no way around the fact it'll take time. When we have something similar to the lines of MISRA or AUTOSAR in Rust then it might be an option, but those kinds of endeavours will take a long time. But I definitely can see some usage for Rust already in many other domains!

> When I saw that GIF showing a room rendered with hFOV=160°

Are we looking at the same picture? The first render in the article?
The picture is a flat projection about 10cm wide on my screen, so it's displayed on a tiny FoV. Looking at a picture of 160deg render, stretched over 10(?) degrees of my field of view just looks like an extreme fish eye? The article suggests it's "natural" and it may well be if I'd see in it VR or at least a huge display... but maybe I'm not getting it?

And what are these "occlusion" path the article talks about? How does the edge of the building become visible above the head of the robot in any projection, unless the eye moves? Light either a) reaches the aperture from the edge of the roof, or b) it doesn't reach the aperture because it's occluded by the robot. Anything else would imply some non-euclidean light transport here like those black hole renderings...

The robot gif looks like it does something really strange wrt occlusion. But what? The caption mentions occlusion paths and nonlinearity, but neither of those terms are found in the rest of the article!
They used to give AZ to mostly younger people as the side effects where seen to be stronger than for the PFE.

A fear could be that when they start to give the PFE to younger people, they will see the same stuff as with AZ as it triggers the same immune response.

I honestly am wondering why this comment is being downvoted.

There are ample ways of performing background processing on the bandwidth data, and scheduling background tasks when the wifi information changes, that do not require the device to be permanently turned on (which would have a drastic effect on the battery life, and potentially screen burns).
Exrended lock down measures aren't without costs either.

There exists no other vaccines until they are in a person's arm. AZ shots are currently available in X quantity for people. The others are not.

Well, segregating children in classes according to their perceived ethnicity doesn't really strike me as a good idea, now matter how it is presented.
I do; I politely tell them the situation (I get a lot of spam calls) and they need to call me from a predetermined phone number or leave a voicemail.
Note i said generic tax, not VAT. And I’m specifically talking about the US
Because there aren’t enough Moderna and Pfizer, and every day we don’t vaccinate, more people get sick and die, people can’t see their friends and family or live normally, and parts of the economy remain shut down.

The cost is really severe! Especially globally, many countries have hardly been able to vaccinate at all.

Ethical Question
im working with a low quality incubator atm, built up some good business ideas for them. they mostly go and apply for grants on behalf of their portfolio companies. and we're in the process of applying to this new grant (officially for me to start one of those business ideas). i did realise tho (someone shared email exchanges with me) that they had no intention to give me anything. and once a grant is secured they'll go and give it to another company (a fav kid) or whoever they like. i was stupid not to include anything like this in my contract, maybe too naive and trusting as well.

initial idea was to leave them. what would you guys recommend?
