Sort of. Variolation also involved intentionally inoculating with a naturally occurring less deadly strain. Also, introducing intentional Covid infections in a naive population would likely infect many contacts of the inoculated patients before they got inoculated, which would defeat the purpose.
The metric could be how many human beings a particular device can replace. If a conveyor belt could be replaced by 10 people working in shifts where at any given time 5 people work, then the machine should be paid 5x minimum wage.

That does happen, but the body is very good at making sure that levels of blood-glucose are maintained. If it is not, as in the case of diabetes, then very bad things happen. Things like a diabetic coma.

As other commenters have said, absent any extreme weight loss or undiagnosed metabolism disorders like diabetes, there is nearly no chance that glucose burn-out occurred in an otherwise 'healthy' person.

We may all be wrong, or missing some key information, at which point I look forward to the cuhbbyEmu video on it.

To clarify, I’m specifically talking about very old people who I think should have the option to take or be given a cocktail and go peacefully, rather than continue to live in a painful state that ties up everyone around them. For example, my grandparent that lost their kidneys at 93, they continued to live through dialysis for a couple years, but if they were offered assisted suicide, they would have taken it. They would not have had to suffer through dialysis, the country could have invested those funds elsewhere, and my parents would have been free to do other things.

But right now, a 93 year old with kidney failure would not qualify for assisted suicide in most states, maybe not even the ones with assisted suicide.

What I also meant was that in decades prior to recent ones, there were no possibilities to extend someone’s life for weeks/months/years with things like dialysis, artificial lungs, etc. So there’s a lot more resources that can be spent on extending someone’s life compared to before.

Whether or not society should refuse to treat a 93 year old with dialysis is a question I am not able to address right now.
As a matter of public policy, in a professional setting, it is appropriate that you be required to use the name and pronouns people ask you to use. These are matters of basic identity, and if you have a religious objection to it that's a matter between you and your god(s). You don't get to externalize the costs of your religious beliefs onto other people.

This seems to be the primary differentiator between most analog pedals these days.
My team could professionally and empathetically discuss each of the issues you outlined, but that doesn't mean I raise discussions about whether voting for certain candidates is a case for the-end-justifies-the-means. I don't understand how a good-faith reading of an "activism on your own platforms" policy leads to "we can't discuss the data modeling for people's names anymore." This strikes me as a case of false equivalence.
What's the use case though?

@container queries have been discussed/proposed before, but I've never really experienced a time where I wished they were a thing.

For different screen resolutions and orientations, you have media queries, and I find if you build for mobile first and expand the UI for tablet and desktop with min-width media queries, it's generally pretty straightforward. It may seem like an ugly hack but generally speaking the main question is what device is being used. Most users don't resize their windows on desktop all that much like we do.

With image sizing for containers that may change size, you can abuse background-image and background-size: cover for a quick solution, and for a long term solution you can use an image element and a parent element.

.img-responsive-cell {
/*
this is a div or something
parent element to the img.
you would size this
according to a grid
system containing
element for width and
you could sort the
height out with
%padding or something
else depending on what
you're making
*/
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
/*
overflow hidden will
make sense in a moment
*/
}

.img-responsive {
/*
the img element
*/
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
min-width: 100%;
min-height: 100%;
width: auto;
height: auto;

\*
or more recently you
can do ->

width: 100%;
height: 100%;
object-fit: cover;
*\
}

This lets the image grow to fill the containing element, maintain aspect ratio so it will essentially be zoomed, centered with left/top and transform, and this also makes for easy hover effects, like so:

.img-responsive:hover {
transform: translate(-50%,-50%) scale(1.2);
}

Now yes, this isn't attractive and it doesn't give you fine control over what image you're loading, but CSS is ugly anyway and it's a way to achieve a one-size-fits-all solution for the sake of getting something working responsively early in the lifespan. Optimise the hell out of the images and it'll be ok for a minimum viable product.

----

I think the problem with container queries as a concept is that JavaScript is a naturally better tool for the job when it comes to loading media dynamically -- after all you probably want to lazy load images anyway, especially below the fold or if you have a lot of dynamic views.

As someone who has tried to browse the internet on public transport in the UK, I'm a big advocate of lazy loading.

If your website lazy loads images, it's pretty simple to build in a little extra logic to load particular images for particular container element size-ranges.

----

Also, bit off topic but related: in the absence of container queries, we use media queries and srcset, but maybe background-image + media queries might seem like a good plan?

However if I recall correctly as soon as the stylesheet is loaded it downloads all the images referenced in it, so it doesn't achieve much except to reduce strain on painting I guess.

That's why I just keep things simple to begin with.
Which free speech activists have been advocating that employees shouldn't have to do work when they're at work? None, because believing that isn't a part of free speech rights, and Basecamp made it clear they didn't care what employees said off company time, so it's an irrelevant strawman.

> What about deportation of undocumented immigrants? Isn't their existence in this country politicized?

Their presence in a country they’ve entered illegally is the subject of political debate, but that’s not equivalent to a threat to their “very existence.” Calling it that is an attempt to emotionalize a basic function of sovereign nations: policing their borders. It’s something every country does—including the countries from where these undocumented immigrants came.

> People are being killed by gun violence, police violence, gang violence. Isn't it fair for people affected by these things to feel their lives have become political footballs?

If you’ve been killed by gun violence or police violence or gang violence, then you’re dead. If you haven’t, then you’re debating government policy, not the fact of your “very existence.” Even mundane government policy has life or death implications. People running red lights kills six to ten times as many people each year as mass shootings. But framing a debate over stoplight timing in terms of peoples’ “existence” would be a way to shut down rational policy debate.

As an Asian person, I’m much more likely to be killed or attacked by a repeat offender than by the police. But that doesn’t mean I can shut down a discussion of eliminating bail by saying it’s a “threat to my very existence.”
Sir, that is the social contract you agreed to when living your life - that it is good to live it. Please do not disparage the legitimate consideration of human life as precious with corruptible bureaucracy which presupposes you are too stupid to make decisions about your health. I, for one, believe it is your body ergo your natural right!
I've had to use it too - mostly when faffing about and not using some jQuery builtin. But to say that someone who doesn't know this easily-stackoverflowed ("how do I do something every nth array item") lacks basic programming ability ("why can't programmers program" is I think the original fizzbuzz blog post title) is I think going too far.
My visualization is somewhere between wireframes and chalkboard diagrams, usually closer to the later. Also have little autobiographical memory. I suspect I’m somewhat on the autism spectrum, but that wasn’t diagnosed much back in the 60’s when I was growing up.

The brain exploits these powers all the time. The most well known example is the blind spot, but that's just the beginning of it.

Our wiring is incredibly improvised throughout and the brain works hard to paper it all over.

A generous reading of Kahneman and Tversky suggests your brain even hides its own workings from itself.
From what I read about Chia, the marketing is the exact opposite : most people have unused storage space, and they will never use it (phones and computers). The Chia network proposes to make that free space more "useful".
Very impressive work.

I've only spent about an hour going through this post and its predecessor. I'm a career software engineer, although I've been working very closely with a team of FPGA developers for the last couple of years.

HDL engineers have a very strong preference to see the types of all nets and registers clearly defined. The pain points are mostly in organizing and stitching together larger projects out of smaller modules. You see this reflected in common project structures, where leaf nodes are in straight VHDL or [System]Verilog but larger structures may be stitched together with TCL or some custom in-house tooling.

HDL replacement technologies have a tendency to throw out both the low-level language and the abstraction language. IMO this is in part because they are being built by software engineers who have a hard time with the low-level parts of the standard HDLs.

But its not the low-level parts (eg, process blocks, type system, and arithmetic expressions) that are busted. Its the organization and abstraction parts (eg, the module systems) that are busted. I know this sounds counter-intuitive, because as a Schemer I know you're used to building systems where its more or less the same abstraction "all the way down" using a general model of computation as the base. But the practicing hardware engineers I know don't care. They are fully aware of the message-passing model that backs the HDLs. To them that model is an obstacle to be overcome on the way to building circuits.

Caveat: my HDL colleagues are all from the US aerospace/defense sector. They are firmly on the side of preferring VHDL over [System]Verilog based on the former's strictness and explicit behavior. So my perspective and feedback is inherently biased in that direction.

> I would love to see this fantasy world

There's no need for condescension especially in this case. I live in that fantasy world where I get exactly what I pay for. It's not a guarantee that every country has the same consumer friendly laws but even here it's perfectly acceptable to sell an "up to 1Gbps" connection that falls shy of the marketing.

> not a single contract contains SLAs

If they didn't it's because you chose to pay less for one that has no SLAs. I have a consumer and a business contract from the same provider at my home address. The consumer one offers higher speed for lower price but offers no guarantees except the legal baseline. The business connection on the other hand lists for example minimum, maximum, and "normal" speeds, clearly states that there is no data cap or throttling, and the SLA for restoring connectivity is within 8h, and more.

The only way for marketing material to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth is to be the contract itself plus the relevant law. Anything else will be concealing some information.

> My money should have gone to the best company instead.

The problem is that you have a low limit for what you're willing to pay for, but a high limit on what you are asking for. It's a typical consumer education issue.

> I think we have a moral obligation not to defraud others.

Look, no offense but this is rant territory. You use your personal definition of "defrauding" to make the case that suits you best. Your SATA interface never actually reaches 6.0Gbps, your SSDs almost never reach the advertised speeds, your electricity isn't exactly 120/240V or exactly 50/60Hz. Your steak isn't exactly 200g. Your car doesn't consume exactly 7.9l/100km. and not all McDonalds chicken nuggets are the same size.

If it helps you understand the point, try to apply the same standards to yourself to see why guarantees cost.

Show me one marketing banner that you consider valid and let me nitpick. We'll either find out that no banner in the whole world is honest, or that you can nitpick anything.
I don't see why the percentage is super significant. If the reason they are on the list had to do with their ethnicity, it's still bad and something that should absolutely be addressed.

Like 90% of the runtime of old racist Disney movies are fine and don't contain racial stereotypes, but that doesn't absolve the remaining 10% in any way, and if the movie was twice as long, the 5% of remaining insensitive content wouldn't be more justified.
OT but is there a reason one would not like TED talks? Your parenthesis made me feel it could be controversial (comparable to social media).
For the people who stay when one third of the team has left what’s your outlook?

Pro: high possibility of promotion and a new position

Con: way more responsibility and stress for managing a platform and rebuilding teams on the fly.

I think they’ll need to offer some form of compensation to reward the people who stayed on, because their lives will likely get a lot harder in the short term.

I don't think it's be rocket science. I'd put in my interests. I might even put in where I work, what conferences I go to, and what hobbies I have.

If there were a way to do so privately, I'd love if it worked from my web browsing, Youtube, etc. history as well -- things I did recently. If I just read an awesome article about the war between Azerbaijan an Armenia we all missed among COVID19, of if I just spent a few hours playing with Webcomponents, I wouldn't mind chatting with someone who did the same.

I think a service like this would quickly learn how to peer people for fruitful conversations. A key would be to keep this multidimensional; if you line up 65% with software engineers, and 55% with cricket players, you should get peered with both (or have a choice). A lot of the recommender systems seem to bucket me in just one place.

I explicitly want zero focus on relationships. This should not be a dating service. The instant anything like that shows up, things go south very quickly. The standards should be the same as e.g. in your work environment.
That seems reasonable to me if you require heavy integration test coverage. I work on several applications. The ones that are message driven and don't require a database have test suites that run in a couple minutes. The one that has a large database component takes about 30 minutes to run the tests. This is because we actually run the tests against a real database which requires migrations, data loading, etc.
Aside from repair, the wider issue is, do you own your device and can you do what you want with it? There are three angles.

First, in the law as Lehto points out, if they put obstacles to you modifying your device, things stray from Magnuson-Moss into antitrust territory.

Second is the war on general purpose computing [1] where the corporations want you to have a curated, walled garden experience with no liberties of your device or the content it's carrying.

And third, germane to a device maker, of course this gets into planned obsolescence as well. There's no conspiracy here, just economics going back 30's where a new car every 2 years was viewed as essential to the car makers.

That's a declaration. Which apart from mentioning a supreme being (not the Christian god) has its roots in other concepts.

However, the article is typical Christian propaganda insinuating that atheists are amoral and you need the benevolent guidance of a supernatural being (and its church) to behave like a decent human being.
> Right to repair is not about being cheap, is about not caving in to the needs of an industry that doesn't know how to be profitable in a world without consumerism.

Beautiful.

Note that the industry does know how: it's called planned obsolescence. But the replacement rate is not good enough if people get to also repair their stuff.

Wasn't for me. That site's renew button simply starts an order for a new one (as renewal is really just replacing with a new, extended certificate) and sectigo themselves re-did all the company verification, after which my cert was issued. Went smoothly except for waiting ~24 hours for it. If you were trying to get an EV certificate, the process is supposed to be more strenuous on making you prove your operation (sometimes) as well as prove that your certificate infrastructure is secure enough.

There should be a 3-strikes and you're out when it comes to DMCA abuse. After 3 false DMCA notices you lose all copyrights. That will stop this abuse once and for all. Running automated systems that do nothing but harass people over things that they are legally able to do should be illegal.
>You can look into Vimeo. For some reason it's not mentioned often as an alternative to YouTube, but it seems to be better in almost every way.

The "Vimeo better in almost every way" needs to be re-calibrated based on the typical reasons that content creators' such as this piano teacher use Youtube.

The many ways that Vimeo is worse:

- platform membership fees: Youtube is $0 to upload and host, Vimeo used to be $240 and now has some new pricing plans[1] with a low-use free tier (too limited for high-res 4k uploads)

- smaller audience : Youtube is ~2 billion users, Vimeo ~200 million

- no advertising partners : Youtube enables monetization

- less recommendations leading to discovery of your videos because less catalog of content from others to expose viewers to your video: Youtube has dozens of Beethoven Moonlight Sonata piano tutorials, Vimeo has none[2]

And btw, Vimeo also removes videos. Previous comment about someone following advice of switching from Youtube to Vimeo which didn't solve his problem: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20347254

Vimeo is a good platform but it's not mentioned as often as alternative to Youtube because it doesn't solve the same problems for many Youtubers. Also, self-hosting with Apache web server and HTML5 <video> tag also doesn't solve the same problem. And Peertube+Patreon doesn't solve the same problem.

Probably my favorite feature of libvirt is the security and isolation features provided by sVirt. It applies a security policy via SELinux (or AppArmor) that ensures that in the event of a VM breakout exploit, the attacker can only access resources allocated to that VM. So it isolates VMs from the host and from each other. Really cool!
They are taking a stance on how much headache and money it will cost them, which is really reasonable. The reason old and unsustainable youtube died is because of the Warner Bros and alike - because their kind tend to hold an enormous amount of copyrights. If they feel they benefit from copyrights, then they will feel the most attacked. They, with their influence, said youtube cannot continue in this fashion back in the day, and it was true. They could sue youtube to the ground and they'd have to close down (assuming manual moderation is impossible). I am actually amazed that they allowed it to continue with this solution, being, "youtube, you give us the keys and we do the takedowns when we feel like our copyrights are violated, then you may continue" and youtube said "fine" and that is where we are. Now if you feel like your content is taken down unjustly, you should take it up with whoever is claiming ownership over your content. Which is... impractical actually, but that is how it is. This is one of the only ways within the current legal framework where you can have a site where people post content to freely without being liable for aiding and abetting copyright infringement yourself. No easy solution to this.

So yes, Warner Bros can be an enormous headache to youtube. Legally and financially. "Piano teacher" probably can't. Youtube acts accordingly which is pretty rational. If you owned a youtube-like service, you'd have to do the same.
