It's a major national event for Hong Kong, like the guy winning a $1B national lottery. The winner will be shown on TV and newspapers, a random citizen who accidentally hits the jackpot and got lifted to being a king.

Except in that case, it's some foreign math computer nerds, who have already profited billions. Billions of dollars taken off the cumulative bets of Hong Kong citizens. It's not acceptable socially or politically.

The guy was already cashing hundreds of millions anyway, leaving a few millions on the table doesn't make a difference to him. Better stay anonymous and safe.
Well, it will treat everything. Soon it will be generic technology, accessible to any low-tier lab with "RNA printer". Any country will be able to download medication from internet. And in most places it is impossible to copyright naturally occurring RNA sequence.
The issue of hierarchy is that it's orthogonal to having very different results for nearby areas.

With a hierarchy you immediately run into, "Am I in gibbons.apple.banana or was it gibbons.apple.bandana" which is just down the road.

Without hierarchy it jumps out that one of those results is improbable if tallied with any knowledge of roughly where the person is.

I was just giving a real-world example where dynamic patching via LD_PRELOAD was quite useful, not offering it as an argument for maintainers to use dynamically linked libraries.

Of course, there are many independent arguments for using dynamically linked libraries, which is why most linux distributions use them.

> this new research finds that the spike protein itself can cause damage.

Downregulation of ACE-2 causes damage, not the spike protein. The spike protein itself causes downregulation, but not enough to cause damage.
Not a lawyer, but I would assume so.

>In other words, it's only with the most lenient interpretation of the laws that this kind of escape hatch is even possible somewhere like Manhattan, and possibly not even there.

yes exactly. There are rabbis (in particular I think a lot of sephardic rabbis because Maimonides was strict about eruv) who wouldn't carry in anything less than a walled city.
Not really.

a) It's amazing Russia went from just out of feudalism to as industrial as it did.

b) If there even was a mistake, it is probably that more demand and nicely flexible demand (as the consumer economy can provide) would have helped. But that's not about free trade per se.

Pretty sure West-East trade was already pretty limited from both sides, and I don't think there were many intra-USSR limitations to trade. For example, the border between Russia and Ukraine has caused many economic issues in the years since.
Yeah, this video was interesting but didn’t at all support the conclusion he made. He stopped the cycle half way through and basically compared washing with soap and without. Shocker,with soap was better. More surprising is how close without soap was.

I assume he skipped comparing full cycle because showing that there isn’t a difference doesn’t result in a catchy title and an interesting video.

Are the iPhones always tracking and reporting? Or are they just watching passively for the devices reported lost and only reporting the location to Apple of your own AirTags. The latter seems far more sensible. The battery cost of this is fairly trivial. Your phone is already capturing its location and reporting for FindMy. The incremental cost of attaching the AirTag’s location is minimal. To monitor BLE for a bunch of addresses is also minimal cost that’s typically predominantly done within the BT chip to avoid waking the SoC. At first glance there are some details that are unclear here in terms of how they scale this. For example, at Apple scale, the total size of lost AirTags is quite large, larger than what you can typically offload to a BLE chip. Similarly, the privacy protection features mean that BLE addresses rotate so just passively scanning wouldn’t be sufficient. My bet though is that that’s the work that was done - offloading all of this to the BLE chip in ways that are friendly to the HW capabilities. It’s also entirely possible they worked with their BT supplier to add the necessary low-level hooks to make that perform well and preserve privacy.
We also have 150+ million people around the world who've had the virus walking around without damage.

The point is how should we change our recommendations? Are older people or others with certain medical conditions more susceptible to damage?

I don't see how shrugging off this new information is reasonable or scientific.
It causes the body to produce it in a limited, fixed quantity in proportion to the number of viable RNA strands that make it into a cell, largely localized at the injection site. Just a guess but this probably means its risk is extremely limited.

The wild virus causes this protein to be produced without check.

It wouldn't just be the mRNA vaccines, anyway. The viral vector ones, as well as the inactivated virus, and the spike protein unit extract ones, all involve getting some of the spike protein either made in the cells, or introduce it directly.

> The US's strategy has been for someone else to have a lock on rare earth production.

Not quite though. The US's strategy has been for someone else to do the mining. That strategy works pretty well when it's two dozen other countries in competition with one another, because then you're not reliant on any one of them and there is no single point of failure.

The failure is in failing to prevent it from all being consolidated into a single authoritarian country.

Honestly, I think that's a decent question.

Having missed the expansion of internet technologies, so this is all on workstation software or embedded, I've spent decades writing software where data, aside from small chunks of control/settings sorts of things, is left in place. This typically requires architectural decisions made early-on.

If data is actually moved, it's done by dedicated hardware.

It's worth considering that every layer, especially ones with translation of some point, adds potential bugs.
One of the best things you can do when you join a new organisation is figure out who those people are.

They often know where the bodies are buried (or that obscure document stored on a documentation system from two generations ago that was deprecated but never removed "just in case" that describes exactly the system you are currently looking at wondering "wtf").

In an idealised world it wouldn't happen but I've never managed to work anywhere close to that.

>explain if I am correct that this basically means any site that is operating as a middleman between supplier and consumer would be held liable for issues with the product?

IANAL. If you are reselling to the end-customer, then you are effectively a retailer and depending on where you operate will have some level of liability. Incidentally, a true middleman - a distributor - does (at least in the US) carries liability for product defects as does the retailer and manufacturer. I worked for a distributor who had to back a defective product from an out of business manufacturer who's warranty insurance was depleted. A lot of people at our company made bad assumptions about the law, and didn't realize that most consumer protection laws could not be waived by the consumer... So we ended up with a batch of 12000 bad network devices that we had to replace... When you operate at 20-30% gross margin that takes a huge bite out of profit.

>So, like does this also apply to esty? EBay? Heck, maybe Shopify?

The question is, who is operating the store? Who's name is on the receipt? In the case of eBay, the seller is clear (eBay forces the use of an escrow service -- often PayPal -- for payment). In the case of Shopify, the seller is clear (the store owner). On the question of Amazon, we shall see, but it appears they have lost quite a few cases (https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/08/29/amazon-...).

That is both not true and not what you said at first. Transistor density has continued to rise but there is only so much you can do when people mostly run javascript on a single thread.

There were a lot more break throughs in the early days of electronic components too because everything was new.

CPUs are a world away from where they were two decades ago, but people don't notice because typing into a facebook window still lags. It is an incredibly superficial nonsense way to look at what has really happened at the hardware level.
You also need to distinguish between the contexts where you need addresses versus coordinates.

Lat-longs, plus codes, and word-encoding schemes are all coordinates -- they identify a point or area on the globe.

Addresses are last-mile navigational instructions. "Apt D, 123 Main St" allows anyone with local knowledge to navigate efficiently to the location indicated: first they drive to Main Street, then they proceed along the ~monotonically numbered parcels to 123, then continue to the apartment labeled "D".

The advantage of coordinates is that they don't require local knowledge and can identify arbitrary points; the advantage of addresses is that they encode instructions for land navigation that takes into account which parts of the land are passable.

For too many people don’t get this. I’ve been pulled into projects that had a terrible pipeline and devs that were pushing commits and wasting so much time waiting to get feedback about very simple problems. This kills rapid development.

Yes please share what country you’re in and what equipment you use? This is very interesting.

I’ve come to the conclusion that buying “consumer” or even “prosumer” appliances is a lost cause, all the brands use the same 3 white label Chinese manufacturers and you get the same quality no matter what you buy, you can expect to be shopping for a new appliance in <5 years time.

I’m hopeful that commercial appliances aren’t yet at that stage, you end up paying a significant premium but you save in time and lost effort when you don’t have to deal with buying a new one so soon.
Rebuilding and running tests on that amount of packages every time there's a security update in a dependency is completely unsustainable for Linux distribution as well as the internal distributions in large companies.

I worked these systems in various large organization and distros. We did the math.

On top of that, delivering frequent very large updates to deployed systems is very difficult in a lot of environments.
Yeah JIT is a bit suspicious. I also think there is some planned obsolescence that is making the inventory depreciation so scary the bean counters to begin with.

It would be possible to require a bank/money transmission license in order to integrate with the iOS NFC payment scheme.

That would prevent scammers / untrusty startups to hijack the instant payment markets.

On Android my local German bank offers a NFC payment system which works just as well as Google Pay and Apple Pay as far as I can tell.

I think I'm missing something. The algorithm shuffles to prevent words in adjacent squares from being the same? Why not just draw from the set of 3-permutations and if satisfies that adjacency constraint, remove from the pool of available permutations (conditional draw without replacement).

>In politics, narratives are not true or false in the scientific sense. They're created purely for persuasive purposes, as expedient air cover used to justify social actions. Factually the narratives may be completely true but selectively chosen, partially true and distorted, or even completely untrue.

The people ok with this are what the world religions typically define as Evil, which generally reduces not to violence, but to deception. From what I can tell on the interwebs, post-Marxist thinkers, particularly Gramsci and the social constructivists are the architects of this total deception as politics view.

Atheists may not percieve the difference between what they see as the One Big Delusion, vs. Everything is a Delusion and to them there is only power and solidarity, but the crux of this constructivist view of narrative is a belief that decieving others into committing violence is more politically legitimate than committing it onesself. As though deception were somehow a virtue. Deception is certainly powerful, but not virtuous, except to people who can't tell the difference.

The enemy propaganda in Signal was designed to establish the edges of a wedge to destabilize western social order and make it vulnerable to the chaos that totalitarian movements require for their atomizing hall-of-mirrors effect.

The vaccine instructs cells to produce a piece of protein from the spike. There’s no such thing as “a” spike protein, the spike is a structure of proteins that enable a lot of functions for the virus. They choose a piece of protein from the structure that’s antigenic then encode the mRNA to produce that. The mRNA is delivered into the cell by the lipid transport and the cell picks up the instruction and produces the antigenic protein fragment. Your immune system responds as expected and attacks the antigen carrying things - existing cells included. The inoculated mRNA is quickly broken down because mRNA is a standard process in cell function.

Unless the effect observed is due to the antigen the vaccine produces then you wouldn’t expect to see the same behavior in vaccinated humans as they saw experimentally with a full virus, even if some part or the full assembly of the spike is a cause for cellular damage.
This is an offensive take on a chaotic stampede where people died. Your linked article even lists the police as trying to stop people from getting out of the way.

>Footage shot as the disaster unfolded showed police officers trying to stop people from fleeing the scene. That could have been because the officers did not immediately realize the extent of the danger, or because they wanted to prevent the stampede from spilling into other areas of the compound.

What it does say is

>Amid the chaos, as medics tried to reach the injured, prominent Israeli rabbis remained onstage, trying to restore calm by reading psalms for the wounded.

your take is wrong and wrongheaded.

You're actually talking to israeli not living in Israel.

Yes, most people in Israel are secular or very secular. And a part of reason for it been so, it's the attitude that you exhibit here: if you are not orthodox (or at least not very deeply Conservative) you are not jew (enough).

And living in Israel exposes you to enough aspects of religion to know "why I can't just press a button in order to get to floor that I want right now". Or why a bunch of guys in black hats stone McDonald windows or a bunch of girls who got by accident into religious neighberhood.

Maybe not deep aspects enough, as your brother who studying gamarah, but sufficient enough.

> That you have to write them over and over again for every single class. You offer to do that with Python.

Or with some other code generator. A mythical language with SoA/AoS transformation "built in" will do exactly the same under the covers. But it might not offer other features you are used to, or (your argument) a sufficiently rich library ecosystem. You might as well do it yourself and use a language you are otherwise familiar and happy with.

> This is an argument of the "all languages that are Turing complete are essentially equivalent" kind.

Is it? You can't do what I described in C, for instance. To be clear, what I meant when I wrote "as a library, 100% inside the language" was that, given the appropriate definitions in a library, not in an external tool you run before your build, you just write something like the following Python:

class Ant:
someField = ...
someOtherField = ...

@StructureOfArrays
class AntColony:
pass

or something the following Java:

class Ant {
int someField;
boolean someOtherField;
}

@StructureOfArrays
class AntColony {
}

and get all the features you can dream of generated for you inside the AntColony class, which you then use exactly as if you had typed things out yourself. You can't do this in C. This isn't an "all Turing complete languages" argument as far as I can see.

> You will be unable to use any other library without back-and-force adapters, for example.

I don't understand what you mean. In the above example, the Ant class exists, so you don't need adapters. The arrays inside the AntColony class exist (once the annotation processor is done with them), so you don't need adapters.
I can refute shifting the blame to suppliers, or say that it's relevant how usefully resources are utilized only if I agree or am neutral towards the crypto ideology? Ok, man.

From manufacturer's perspective, to make a user-refillable detergent/rinse container is against own interests all round:

- Give up on additional revenue;

- Costly to make machine more robust/tolerant to variations in composition/pH/viscosity/etc. of 3rd-party detergent;

- No good way to enforce rinse/calcite removal inside machine - without DRM, user can just pour water as "rinse" liquid, and then lie when RMAing the washer that eventually clogged up and broke.
