As much as I dislike Trump, I can't say I'm very happy seeing censorship celebrated.

Of course these private companies are allowed to do whatever they want, but silencing speech in what has effectively become a public forum doesn't help us treat the underlying cause of what caused Trump to become popular in the first place (IMHO the thing that we really need to address as a country).
Please read carefully my previous post. Protein sequence != RNA sequence.

I already stated that both coding RNA sequences are different. It is their product, the protein sequence, that is 100% identical in both sequence and structure. The protein that, as you mentioned, is presented as an antigen to the immune system.

If you don’t believe me, and since you already found the FASTA mRNA sequence (or, more specifically, its cDNA equivalent) for both vaccines, you can translate[1] each spike protein RNA section and then align[2] both translated protein sequences.

This is what you get:

The main issue was cost. A lot of basic research had to be done, developed, and put into production on an accelerated timescale. Control systems and processing capabilities were much more primitive which hampered reusability. Materials and fabrication technology were less efficient so we had to build big to get useful payload mass fractions. CAD modeling and computational fluid dynamics were just entering use, so designing rocket engines was as much an art as a science. You could work around most of this by just throwing money at the problems, but Nixon felt it wasn't worth the cost.
The chained CVE's made for interesting reading. Book-marked for future reference when I have my SDR to hand.
I think that's a different product/market? Aren't those displays targeting high end video/movie production that requires perfect color correction? I'd also guess they're marked up a lot given their customer (movie studios/enterprise). They're also small.

I think there's a middle ground 'good enough' panel that's still high end (think like LG E6) that doesn't have the extra crap and where someone has thought through the design elements (input box, remote, industrial design of case).

I'd expect that to be possible for around $5k - maybe that's just not feasible?

If the airtag is away from its owner for 3 days it will play an audible sound when moved, so in your use cases the airtag would reveal itself to the user after 3 days. That still does not seem ideal though, 3 days is a long time. Also, in the article I'm guessing it didn't chime because it was never moved, which also seems like something they didn't think about.

The reason I'm optimistic about this trend is that it's been a common thing in game development for a long time (low level language for execution speed, high level scripting language for development speed) and it works really well.

Having to maintain this interface between the language does come with its own set of problems but is well worth the tradeoff especially if you can spend most of your time in one language or the other.

All: this thread got a flash flood of angry-predictable-obvious comments. Please don't post those! They're really bad for this site. (Edit: if you want to see the comments I'm talking about, they're collapsed at the bottom of the page now. Before that, they were the page.)

The issue with such points isn't that they're wrong, it's that they're not interesting. Nothing predictable and obvious is. We want interesting conversation here, and that comes from curiosity. If you're feeling agitation rather than curiosity, please wait until that polarity flips.

The interesting things in a story like this are any diffs from what one would have expected.

It's a significant move, so there must be interesting diffs. But sometimes one has to hunt for those, or at least wait for them to occur to one. That sort of waiting is key to getting good HN discussion, which is reflective rather than reflexive.

Sometimes complexity is worth it for the engineering benefits. We could all be running our software on beautifully simple vintage 1980s microcontrollers: the 6502 was an incredibly elegant and simple design! But then we'd be stuck with computers that can't multiply in hardware or add two floating point numbers or prevent a misbehaving application from taking down the whole system.
The reason these items are not produced at home is because of government policies.

I agree that they should be the ones to invest in these fabs, but it also makes sense for the government to make sure that is an internationally competitive move for them to make, rather than forcing them to pour water uphill.
This is what bringing back supply chain looks like. I am not against it. What is happening is not great, but you know the whole necessary evil thing.. this is it.

Compared to Starship, sure. But compared to the Shuttle? That's a pretty low bar that's pretty easy to beat.

Starship is basically the Shuttle done right. major differences: Methalox instead of hydrolox & solids. Stainless steel. Uniform tiles. Vertical landing. No cross-range capability.

Any or all of those changes would have made the shuttle better.

Full-flow staged combustion might be impossible without modern metallurgy. The Soviets had that in the 70s but the Americans didn't. OTOH the Americans had the F1 in the 60s and a new version of that would certainly provide suitable thrust to weight ratios. Kerosene means more frequent refurbishment, but still better than the Shuttle.

Vertical landing would be tough with 70s computing but certainly would be possible with 80s computing.

If I understand the situation correctly, the current president is already willing to enact such a law. The lobbying seems to be about pressuring congress into actually passing it. Fair enough, everyone is entitled to lobby for their interests. What I take umbrage with is that they want to turn subsidies into handouts.

It's beyond ironic to call for subsidies but then label oversight as "intervening". Subsidies are interventions. Without a government plan and oversight they are just legalized corruption.
Apparently you don't live in a country with a good long-distance public transport or long distance highspeed train network. Before covid, I regularly spent a few hours a week in a 300km/h ICE train in Germany. Nowadays, I spend similar time in my car (hint: it doesn't make 300km/h but traveling times are similar).

The major difference is of course not listening to music or having a phone call. The major difference is work and sleep. I can do both in the train, I cannot do it in a car at the driving seat :)
Except iPhones aren’t generally more expensive than phones of similar caliber hardware. Samsung offers phones even more expensive.

Apple just doesn’t offer cheap hardware.

Does Porsche have monopoly power just because they don’t offer low-end models?
Their international competitors have subsidies. If the government doesn’t match that then you are asking these companies to pour water uphill.
If you want the Bezos's of the world to pay more tax, then lobby for that directly. Using the corporate tax as a proxy for "screw rich people" is distortionary and ineffective.

I am very unhappy about this new tracking service.

Scenario: sinister stalker (government agent, for example) attaches an airtag to my car. All iPhone users in the area will be happily reporting tag location and helping stalker in his malicious designs.

How do I protect myself against this, if I am an Android user?
I'd have thought the same as you, though I very recently heard some hopeful news on that front: https://www.marketplace.org/2021/04/30/the-u-s-is-trying-to-...

The relevant part is kind of buried but tl;dr: new mines do take a while (but are in the works). Luckily, there are old mines that can be productively restarted:

> “Our mission as a company is to restore the full supply chain,” said James Litinsky, CEO of MP Materials, the new owner of the U.S.’s only rare-earth mine, located in Mountain Pass, in California’s Mojave Desert.

> “We are probably further ahead than people realize.”

> MP Materials restarted the mine in 2017; the previous owner, Molycorp had declared bankruptcy a few years prior.

> “It was mismanaged for some time,” Litinsky said. Mountain Pass’ reserves are particularly rich in rare earths and now supply, in unpurified form, 15% of the rare earths consumed globally each year.
>Otherwise why should TSMC invest billions in US

I don't want to seem politically ignorant but isn't the entire existence of Taiwan is simply dependent on the US wanting it to exist. If the US didn't provide billions in defense -- TMSC would be a Chinese FAB pretty fast. I see your point but I'd imagine the extra layer of geopolitics is propping up this odd situation.
+1. I'd also guess that these companies getting together to start a joint venture is not really feasible, due to anti-monopoly laws.
Static typing helps significantly here, though obviously not completely. Often, the failure mode is a compiler error, not silent code changes. Note the example of TryFrom; the failure mode isn't that your program is now running a different implementation, but that, because there are now two possible implementations, it becomes ambiguous which is selected and a compile-time error results.

Same with the array change, the failure mode was breakage. While in this case, the method's names, arguments, and argument types are identical, the return type is different, which means other code expecting a certain type now has a different type. For that to silently change behavior, it would also need to match up on everything on the return type as well.
It is completely possible to tax the rich enough to fund social programs, but allow the rich to live exactly the same life they'd otherwise live. They'll just have less money to pass on to their descendants, which is fine by me. Multi-generational wealth transfer is inequitable and anti-progress.

I'm not going to dig up concrete numbers at this point, but it's not difficult to take a look at what the top wealth-holders and income-earners have, and what the people at the bottom need, and reconcile the two.
I guess I've had more issues with it.

Line of site is often a pain with things in front of the TV or appliances in TV stands behind a cabinet.

The responsiveness is often slow (granted this is the fault of the TV's UI/software more than it is the fault of the infrared).

Having to point the remote at the TV is annoying - often it doesn't register unless you're sticking your arm out (takes a few tries for me most of the time).

The Xbox controllers work instantly and it doesn't matter what's blocking them. Latency is also low (latency matters in game consoles).

I'm not sure I'm persuaded to IR benefits.
Cool idea using an iframe for interactivity, will for sure try it out!

I read the part about p2p and quality in your description
"If you are on a call with up to 4 participants, your voice and video are also only shared P2P. For calls with more than 4 participants, we use a cloud infrastructure in order to maintain the call quality"

Just curious what's the limiting factor of p2p here. I always read comments like Signal has better voice quality than WhatsApp due to p2p etc, and I'm not very well versed on the subject.
I have some good memories of this and some sparkstation 2s were used for our 3D CAD course. They were in this darkly lit lab that made it all feel very serious.

I remember the mouse was optical but you needed a special mouse pad that had little triangles on it for the sensor to detect the movement. It was all way smoother than the 486 and pentiums that we used for the 2D CAD work.
It may be the reality, do you think it’s fair on competing apps that Zoom gets an edge?

Tech reviewers are too busy praising Apple and calling everything they make magical. There are very few real tech review sites that test devices based on objective criteria. They don't get as much traffic compared to websites like The Verge.

The Verge still has quality content as long as you keep in mind almost all of their reviewers live in the US, they are all in the Apple ecosystem, and they wouldn't be able to talk their family and friends if they switched to Android anyway.

They have no reason to be enthusiastic about anything that's not an iPhone or an iPhone accessory.

Can you please elaborate? I struggle to discern the ultimate effect of private capital versus government funds in this situation. Ideally, a business’ problems are handled by itself, not via the federal government using taxpayer monies.
Well, TSMC had 2020 revenue in the 30 giga-$ range. Even a few 3% sales tax on that revenue would pay for a 5 giga-$ investment in 5 years. (or a few F-35's / year)

That's grossly optimistic numbers, given US labor costs, startup costs, etc, but it's also potentially a reasonable investment that would be sustained by domestic and international purchases (one would hope).

> You can have a space elevator on the moon today with a titanium cable.

A space elevator makes no sense on the moon. First of all the orbit is unstable and you would need constant station keeping.

Also, it turns out that if there is no atmosphere you don't actually need an elevator, you can just use electrically driven propulsion without an elevator. You just use a rail gun to shoot stuff into orbit.

You would first need to prove that building such infrastructure on the moon itself isn't far to un-practical and more expensive then going directly from earth.
In similar way that Al Capone was indicted for tax evasion, not for the many other crimes he was understood to commit. The prosecution stands on what it can be able to proved in court, with a judge sharply listening to each detail.
The atmosphere bleeds off in million year time scales. Humans can pump it up in hundred year time scales. Things growing in water will get less radiation and hopefully some radiation resistant crops will be bred.

This post badly misinforms about Monty Hall, though. It literally falls for the Monty Hall fallacy. The post should read, "now your odds are 99 out of 100" instead of "now your odds are one out of two".

"An easier way to understand this is to imagine there were 100 doors and you pick one at random. Then he opens 98 of the remaining 99 and shows you there’s nothing behind them.

Now do you switch?

Of course you do. You had one in 100 odds of picking the right door the first time, and now your odds are only one in two..."
Why? Once Project A gets to feature complete, does it need to be worked on at anywhere near the same rate? Other than fixing bugs/upgrading because of APIs they are using upgrading, the number of commits should be really small. Or should people change CSS constantly to have a string of useless PRs?

At that point, a huge amount of someone's time is spent managing bug tickets, attempting to isolate debug, etc.

Of course, my mistake! I only learned what socialism was just yesterday from a series of Tucker Carlson videos.

Would you be so kind as to explain how socialism does not involve decentralized control of a set of resources by each individual member of the group, allocated through a codified representative legal system and enforced by members of the same group? I'm sure my underdeveloped American mind can't grasp any nuance past "government bad, company good"!

Let’s talk about what does work.

Assume you are a world-class ‘idea person’. That means that you know everything about your field, but you’re maybe not great at the specific skills. You have read everything in the technical literature. You know how your competitors operate and what they are working on. You have deep understanding of the customer. You know exactly why the big idea isn’t already a thing, and why each prior attempt failed.

Your job is to help other people organize their thoughts. It’s not to inject your own. Hackers need a lot of support. They need a sounding board to see if the logic make sense or if they are missing something. They might need to identify that one lynchpin problem that needs to be proved before anything else. They might need someone to ask foundational questions about why each component is necessary, or if there is an easier way to achieve the function they they want. They need to know what has been done already. They need to know what has been attempted and failed at, and why.

There are a huge number of ways that an ‘idea person’ can contribute. It’s also incredibly annoying and disruptive to push your own ideas on other people, not least because they probably suck, but you knew that, because you are a world-class idea person.
I'm very much against the big tech (Twitter, Facebook, Google et al) suppression of/bias against pro-Trump and other conservative voices, but Cloudflare seems pretty good on that front comparatively - 8Chan and StormFront were booted (good!) but Gab and Parler etc were allowed despite heavy pressure from the usual suspects, which seems like quite a brave move in these self-righteous McCarthyite times.

Who are you thinking of when you talk about censorship?
Actually, they do. You pay half of the payroll tax and the company pays the other half. This is payroll tax and not income tax, that is Social Security and Medicaid. This is why if you're self employed, there is a self employment tax.

That said, I think that the parent is making a different point. I think the parent's point is that if the owners and employees of a company are paying taxes, then taxing the profit of a company taxes twice, once for the profit and then again for the income that comes from the dividend.
