You can increase your chances with a respirator. But finding a good quality one, certified with a proper standard (that doesn't just cover dust protection like KN95), verifying the certificate with certification company, and hoping it's still not a nice looking fake, one with some helping features that makes making the proper seal easier (like memory foam pad around the nose, or some rubber lining), best with a head band so that you can make it make seal better, is just way too hard, without spending a ton of money.

And that ton of money may not be worth it if you're young enough, and lucky.

I used 3 kinds so far, one was KN95 and just not sealing at all. Probably not much better than a typical "surgical mask", maybe even worse.

Other was marked "FFP3", but without a certification that I could find independently. Much better seal with memory foam around nose, and an ear bands that can be connected behind your had. That one at least felt useful. ;)

The last one is the most expensive so far, with an independently verifiable "FFP3" certificate, and a rubber lining for better seal with a proper headband. That one should be the best on paper. I have not used it yet.

Anyway, if you look at independent tests of random protection equipment that's sold on the market and people buy, sometimes it doesn't even meet the stated specs. That's not encouraging either.

I find navigating all this kinda tough, especially with some sellers proudly showing certificates which are obviously for something else than what they're selling, or blurring some information on the certificate, sometimes including the model information, lol.

(That is for the use case of actually protecting yourself from airborne particles in risky situations, not just "your mask, my mask" thing sibling posters write about)
The US paid a lot more than the $1200, in the form of unemployment supplements.

$600 a week at the beginning of the pandemic through July and then $300 a week this year, in addition to a second $2000 payment that went out to more than furloughed or unemployed people.

I believe this is correct. And even if the buyer is willing to pay the price, the bank may not be willing to offer the mortgage over the appraisal amount. Cash is king, but not all offers for the same price are equal, such as VA loans with requirements and such.

Pre-2008 crash, lenders could pick their appraiser and it was easier for them to have the appraisal match up with the asking price. The lender was likely selling off the loan, anyway.

Appraisals are now assigned to a pool. Doesn't mean there are not any shenanigans though. They all still know each other.
> At this point I'm thinking it might be less bandwidth, complexity, and easier to maintain to just present a web page as a giant imagemap. SVG, so it scales.

SVG is XML, so you can do exactly that if you want to. Hook React up to it and go nuts. You can have the browser build a DOM tree out of it for you and use many of the same APIs you would on HTML, if you don't want to use React. Seriously, this is a thing you can actually do.
There are many other ways to establish that someone owns an account.

"Trying to get you guys" to do something that we've explained in the FAQ that we don't do and why, is off topic, and repeatedly posting the same complaints and false claims in the threads is trolling. Please knock it off. If you don't like how HN works, you needn't use it. It's just an internet forum.
I’m trying to treat it like Burning Man. Where if it’s your first time going, you go in with no expectations and as much preparedness as possible.
This comment highlights both the need for what the article is advocating for AND why the waters here will always be treacherous; there will always be a push and pull.

To be effective, a team needs to be able to communicate freely, and each individual needs to be able to speak freely. But there’s a lot of power dynamics at play, not just in the team, but external to the team.

This is also why minorities are especially cursed in work environments: it’s not just that some folks might actually have prejudices against you based on your identity, it’s also that some folks might have prejudices against you based on your identity, and so you watch what you say and/or try not to be too assertive or contentious and/or wonder if some poorly worded comment was intended as a slur or not...and the smart manager is also cursed, because they may feel that they too need to be careful not to be too assertive or contentious, lest they draw attention from HR or a lawsuit.

Successful teams require mutual respect and brave communication. “Psychological safety” is a term that feels correct to me in the abstract, but very wrong as an applied concept for the workplace.

I think “cultivating mutual respect and open communication” is probably a better framing.
Anything that is a threat to the media's way of thinking is a thought crime.
It is genuinely irksome that an entirely silly comment like this gets more attention and upvotes than numerous downvoted intellectual comments have been receiving on HN over the past year.

Maybe it's just the pandemic or what not but it is very evident that HN has slowly devolved to reddit level discussion since COVID.

And, simply claiming "it's not that bad" does not prove that it is objectively much better.
Products that could have succeeded instead failed because of a lack of PsySafety on the team.

Nobody's suggesting this is a panacea that'll make your unviable idea suddenly viable, the article is about how options for working that could lead to success get cut off when PsySafety isn't present on the team.
The cost of not doing stimulus is much much higher than the cost of doing it, though.

> All the more reason everyone should mask up

Not just mask up, but do it with proper masks. Majority wear cloth masks in the country if at all they do because they were the ones which were available widely(affordable) during the first wave and that there were some data to suggest it's better than nothing.

But many of those masks have worn out after repeated washing, I'm having a hard time making people switch to proper masks as they are not comfortable with them and naturally mask prices are starting to skyrocket again.

Proper masks needs to be distributed through the PDS (Public Distribution System), During first wave cloth mask was distributed through that in my state.

Then of course there's this,

I wonder if anyone else tried to sue a Big Corp. for terminating their account and everything associated with it.
I am thinking about other threads here on HN about YouTube terminating someone's channel and then also their associated Gmail account, incl. Google Drive.

It's scary to think that if you do something wrong (willingly or unwillingly) you could lose EVERYTHING tied to that account.

I can't imagine what nightmare it might be to try to reset your other accounts such as bills, banking, gov accounts tied to your Gmail. On top of everything else you might have tied to it, email and file wise.

The key point is that most of the people "borrowing money" have the means to pay cash but choose not to. It is a question of how they could pay, not if they could pay.

I borrow money all the time when I could easily pay cash. Credit is more convenient and doesn't cost me anything. Similarly, I have a car loan even though I could have paid cash for the car. It is sensible finance.
Do you remember who said the quote? That's fantastic.
> financial applications

Legacy financial applications are fine. People who are afraid of inflation just convert BTC>USD the sole amount they need to use the financial application and that's it.

Also DeFi apps are very illiquid and extremely complicated to use.

Finally let's not hide the truth: 99% of financial apps are based on loans. Crypto loans are doomed because people don't want to borrow crypto as they anticipate huge appreciation and such appreciation would leave them in a hole financially speaking.

Also without an identity system a borrower can just steal crypto, and never pay back interest or principal

Also the lender requires high interest to separate themselves from their crypto considering how novel is the system and how frequent hacks and as I said people outright fleeing are.

The most successful crypto loans are the ones denominated in USD and happening on centralized platforms (and those crypto never leave the platform as they are used to short)
A lot of the benefits of crypto really come into play as more systems are integrated into the blockchain. If the whole series of payments and services are on the blockchain, you could build a system that is reasonably secured against these types of situations.
This is a total nosequitor, building more apartment buildings would make apartments cheaper, being allowed to build two houses on your one house lot would make houses cheaper etc. Like do you have a reasonable path from "people have more latitude to build on their own property" to putting families or individuals in a dangerous financial situation.

I’ll be the first one to say that crypto is often the superior system. But only due to the threat. A threat I happen to believe is very dangerous. Any security model only has value in the presence of a threat model. Other than that it’s just inefficient.
There is no separate real world distinct from academia. Saying that scientists and researchers whose job it is to understand and improve the world are somehow becoming "increasingly disconnected from the real world" is a pretty cheap shot. Especially without any proof or even a suggestion of how you would quantify that.
I have to wonder what's going to happen to the advisor who oversaw this research. This knee-caps the whole department when conducting OS research and collaboration. If this isn't considered a big deal in the department, it should be. I certainly wouldn't pursue a graduate degree there in OS research now.
> you think that cities will just put up with the increasing power outages

I have no idea how that relates to anything I have said. Nothing I'm suggesting would lead to power outages...

> There is no limit on mining.

That's patently false. The limit on bitcoin mining is the amount of money that can be earned by mining. That is currently around 7.5 btc per block. That is the limit. Miners don't mine for a loss.

> Nobody stops mining when the power plant is near capacity.

You're simply not correct. There's even people who only mine for the purpose of generating cheap heat: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.coindesk.com/mining-bitcoin...

> Needless to say, researchers are often to blame as well, since they participate in interviews using vague language so that they can benefit from the exposure, well aware of the repercussions of their behavior.

Universities also have PR departments that tout their faculty research. I imagine these PR groups contribute to the hype.
Just looked at my router in docklands, 833,000 IPv4 routes, from 1.0.0.0/24 to 223.255.64.0/18

32,528 of them are in the 103.0/8 range, but on the other hand 21.0.0.0/8 is advertised once, no subnets at all. (same with 26, 28, 30, 33, 73. I don't have a route for 9.0.0.0/8 aside from 9.9.9.0/24.

Only 108,000 IPv6 routes.

A court order is not arbitrary. The problem that's trying to get solved is a major corporation using its power to unilaterally perform an adverse action against an individual that may or may not be legal.

The author in this case has very little power to fight Disney; they could try to sue them and spend years and a lot of money to recoup the royalties and potentially fail... but that's a major burden to place on someone.

Alternatively there could be a technology that levels the playing field so that instead of Disney being allowed to act unilaterally, the burden would be on Disney to first seek a court order allowing them to halt royalties and then present it to the author, who can then choose to challenge it in court or comply.

In other words, we don't know if Disney is legally justified to halt royalties, maybe they are, maybe they aren't. But Disney is powerful enough to behave as if they are legally justified and give a huge middle finger to anyone who doesn't have the resources to fight back. The burden should be on the one changing the terms of an agreement to go through the process of establishing the legitimacy of that change, instead of the current system where the more powerful player just does what they feel like until they're forced to do otherwise.
I agree with you. I find it tough to make use of the powerful cpu of the iPad Pro if everything is locked down. It suck that you can’t make good use of it.
Would you rather knowingly see the biosphere of our planet pushed to a point where it cannot easily support human civilization in the form we have known it, just to temporarily uphold an ideological point like "no central control of our currency"?
I agree. If it quacks like a duck and waddles like a duck, then it is a duck. Anyone secretly introducing exploitable bugs in a project is a malicious threat actor. It doesn't matter if it is a "respectable" university or a teenager, it matters what they _do_.
I just am saying, someone with clean HTML/CSS/JS knowledge who abuses React to the degree you're implying just sounds like a strawman to me.
Not Your Usual Supply Chain Hack: The Codecov Bash Uploader Blunder
So given that the Super League won't work, what then _will_ work?

It seems to me that innovations can come from two forces:

1) Fairness: Make teams operate fairly. Audit thoroughly, no slap on the wrist
for violating Financial Fair Play, salary cap (I can dream can't I?), etc.
Given how our society favors the capitalist over the regulator, all efforts
on this front have amounted to mere asymptotic jokes.

2) Eliteness: Make the league the creamiest of the cream. Increase the
magnitude of what happens when athletes with incredible talent are
wedded with facilities that enhance and curate that talent. This was
in fact the point of the premier league, but the Super league took it
a step too far. The perception is that the "magic" in a game between
Real Madrid and Manchester United (Goliath and Goliath) is more
watchable than a game between Derby County and Manchester United
(David and Goliath). Except that Derby County can win that game,
have won that game, and the resulting dreams instilled in people (not
just fans of Derby County, but fans of United) comprise the very
source code that makes sports worth watching: a tale of the
impossible that parallels and informs everyday life. Some men with
$$$ in their eyes just don't seem to grasp that, for all their
"finger on the pulse" bragging. Or they did, but felt that the source
code could be rewritten and that's all that matters.

The "Eliteness" front tries to maximize the quality of a sport just short of
steroid use: story of the goose that laid the golden eggs. But what about
fairness? How can we set up incentives for that?
I speak up fairly often. I offer my opinion on things and offer my own ideas.

I'm still trying to learn to keep my mouth shut. Speaking up is detrimental unless it conforms to the existing group (really leader) sentiment.
The form of this argument is "you can ignore the argument they make because they're biased, and you can tell they're biased by the argument they make." That's clearly not a valid inference.
See it this way. Those corrupt "regimes" are simply making the money. Similarly, toppling those regimes is a highly profitable activity. There is an often cited claim: when Yanukovich was toppled in Ukraine, >$30bn disappeared overnight. The new "Western aligned" government did not even produce a coherent version of those events in 7 years. The most credible thing they say: he moved it out to Russia, in cash, on trucks. Probably, they are satisfied with the outcome? And that is just one episode of the ongoing saga.
Always keep this perspective in mind. (To me personally, it really helps to ignore clownish geopolitical speculations.)
The study here[1] was inconclusive, but their limitations seemed pretty noteworthy:

> Inconclusive results, missing data, variable adherence, patient-reported findings on home tests, no blinding, and no assessment of whether masks could decrease disease transmission from mask wearers to others.

I'm not sure what conclusions could be drawn from this study alone.

The buffer should only be released by its own complete callback, which only gets called after being successfully queued. Moreover, other uses of `mlx5_fpga_conn_send`, and the related `mlx5_fpga_conn_post_recv` will free after error.

The other part of the patch, that checks for `flow` being NULL may be unnecessary since it looks like the handle is always from an active context. But that's a guess. And it's only unreachable code.

The opinion I have from this is despite other patches being bad ideas, this one doesn't look like it. Because the other patches didn't make it past the mailing list, it demonstrates that the maintainers are doing a good enough job.

Honestly this is like you asked a question about introductory reading about leftism and someone handed you the Little Red Book. This is among the most divisive, vocal minority, and inside baseball texts produced by leftist feminism in the past decade.

If you're genuinely interested in an introduction to the idea of femininity / the female as a social construction actually within the main leftist/feminist discourse I recommend Julia Serrano's Whipping Girl, or if you really want something controversial Andrea Long Chu's Females: A Concern. And yes, in those case you will find xyzzy21's and AndrewKemendo's claims are strawmen.
Ah, that makes some sense, thanks.
You wouldn't imply that Signal had framed you. You would imply that someone else had framed you using the same vulnerabilities as Signal has now indicated exists. i.e. You can't trust Cellebrite because it's now known to be trivial to subvert their software. It's also difficult for Cellebrite to prove that there aren't remaining vulnerabilities in their software since Signal didn't disclose the problems they found and won't do so unless Cellebrite discloses the exploits they claim to be using in Signal.

It doesn't really matter that he/they changed MO, because they've already shown to be untrustworthy. You can only get the benefit of the doubt once.

I'm not saying people or institutions cant change. But the burden of proof is on them now to show that they did. A good first step would be to acknowledge that there IS a good reason for doubt, and certainly not whine about 'preconceived bias'.
