I know our govt can be swines but we still have a pretty amazing scientific / medical community here.

Not much positive to say about the handling of covid but when it comes to vaccine plans they've really done brilliantly.

Probably because it's scientists, doctors and the NHS that have handled it and not the government.
No that article is about injury to the epithelial system (in the blood vessels) whereas the article is about the claims that covid damaged the heart itself more than other viruses.

I am not sure if anyone has done before/after studied of epithelial function in covid patients.
Right, in order to see a discord you need to join it. That is very hostile to people trying to find info locked in walled gardens (yikes) but it does let people keep toxic people out if they want to (yay.) More importantly it drives Discord's user acquisition and gives the mods of a discord an ego boost when someone joins.

I would refrain from commenting on this topic then.

True. but that’s similar to the common practice of going to meetings at work and then doing the actual hard concentration work at home after hours. I don’t want to work 12 hours a day. I want to get my work done and be done. I’m looking for efficiency. Not a social club.
Funny, my old Q3A and Half-Life cd keys are burned into my brain. Good news is I suspect if you really don't wanna go to GOG or Steam (understandable) you can likely find a cd key generator no problem

A reasonably famous joke in Punjab goes as follows

A rich nobleman is embarrassed at getting food stuck in his beard during a party and his servant motions him over by the bathroom door in order to comb it out. While he is with him he instructs the servant that next time this happens he should come to the table and tell him “Sir, the nightingale is perched on the tree”

Well the next time, the servant walks in, sees the food in the beard and gets flustered because he can’t remember his line, so he blurts out “Sir, the shitty thing happened!” (The word for shit and bathroom is the same in very vulgar, rustic Punjabi, cf. shitter)
Nice! As a massive quake fan, I can't wait to fool around with this. Thanks.
I am currently learning 9046 norms each with 30 to 300 pages of densely packed text only about the LV electrical grid. I have to know these norms to be allowed to do anything meaningful.

If I don't know them I could still do stuff, but the likelyhood of landing in jail because what I planned started a fire or killed someone would be very real.

Going to jail because you managed to replicate a SQL injection that everybody and their dog knows since the 90s is something I really would like to see in software engineering.

Because you know: engineers are personally liable for the decisions they take and for the things they should have known but didn't.
I also find search engine result signal to noise deteriorating in favour of SEO-crafted content.

That's actually worse than either option - if the police decide to disappear you they can now claim you opted out, while if they prefer to ruin you reputation, they can subtly (or not so subtly, if they expect to get away with that) pressure you to opt in.

"Are you really trying to suggest..." No, I am directly stating this: Actions which are not illegal should not be prosecuted. This, and every other single aspect of Russia-mania were grotesque attempts to divine illegality. I know you'll disagree from your insistence, but we can agree to disagree.

I believe that asking questions or counterfactuals to your statements leads to merciless dead-ends, just like the Mueller report, and I challenge observers to ask those very questions.

In this very specific and unusual case, agents of the US government chose not to alert the campaign of suspected influence, but rather 'monitor' on the side and comb through their documentation for a crime, in full public political and media theatre.

Would that it happened to you, you might object.

It's the responsibility of every driver to yield to pedestrians. That doesn't mean we should all just walk into the street without looking.
I think this isn’t enough anymore. These people need to be sued by Vaccine manufacturers for defamation and slander. These people should also be sued by state and federal govts for spreading content that directly impacts health and safety. Putting people in harms way is exactly what they are doing. Their misinformation is causing elderly and people with preexisting conditions to not take vaccines and I’d argue we could use Facebooks impression data to identify people who have been harmed irreparably by following these nut jobs and sue on behalf of those people.
Covid is now a preventable disease.

That's the problem isn't it? Whichever problem you point at in Linux, the answer is invariably the same: "you're holding it wr^W^W^^W you're using the wrong distro, the wrong package manager, the wrong DE, the wrong version of any of those things".

And, invariably, for any problem the one true combination is different.
First, they have "Private Equity" job openings, so that's definitely part of it.

More specifically it will be about scaling the brands they buy and cross-selling when possible. A lot of e-commerce brands/founders hit a ceiling around $1-5M in revenue. At that point, you need more experienced operators to get to $10M or $100M. People who know how to optimize marketing, conversions, fulfillment, and who can move into new channels (eg get on shelves at Target or Costco). A lot of online store founders don't want to deal with that.

Once they hit a certain number of brands under their umbrella, there will be cross-selling/marketing opportunities (assuming they're not just buying Amazon FBA drop ship brands). They can combine email lists and will eventually have good data to power product recommendations.

I'm guessing here, but the long-term play is eventually put all brands under a single online store–in other words, a new amazon.

How do you verify that the convict made the choice, and that they weren't forced to or tortured?

This is a good reason to make it mandatory to publish mugshots.

You can make mugshots visible only to some trusted list of human right activist organizations. This is kind of a compromise between convict's safety and privacy.
Do you think IDEs would have grown support for them before they were a language feature?

That would provide no protection against being disappeared, and potentially make things more dangerous for people in that situation.

Assume police do disappear people. Opting for your record to be public would show police that you're willing to cause problems for them, making the prospect of getting rid of you more appealing. Further, if some associate of yours goes to find out what has happened to you, they can just lie and say you opted for a private record and send the person away.
Somewhat disappointed that opening a new virtual machine inside the virtual machine app fails to work.

You can't do micro payments with credit cards, they have to much $$ overhead. You'd need to pay into a service that'd handle the micro-payments and they'd have minimal packages to buy to mitigate these issues.

Confirmation bias.

Honestly, IMO most of economics "research" is just a random assortment of bullshit viewed through a lens of confirmation bias. Results don't match your priors? Make adjustments to your model assumptions until it does. Disagree with a result? Point out at all the ways in which those assumptions are imperfect. Results match your priors? LGTM.
I don't actually hate it, outside of this thread (which is really only here for us all to complain/talk about it) I am totally ambivalent. It definitely has that kind of DOTCOM-era playfulness to it, you're right

I thought 99 Ranch would be the grocer that “sparked an Asian American revolution” as the article suggests. 99 Ranch started expanding back in the 80s and had a lot of what the author mentioned.
> Code is not prose written in a natural language, yet it has a set of fixed rules (a grammar), certain forms that most programmers will understand as natural and others that, while formally correct, will sound hard to grasp.

The prose has to "execute" in the interpreter of the reader's imagination. Not much stack space there: go easy on the pronouns.

Of course, what better way to thwart public opinion towards collective efforts than to place the individual in a spotlight?
I think game development companies are forced to take a very different approach from normal companies. Game developers face frequent abuse from customers due to passionate feelings involved with such an interactive media, programmers will get hate mail (generally vaguely directed at least) and female artists will get stalked pretty often - it's honestly a pretty toxic community.

Look, for example, at what happened to Hello Games after the release of No Man's Sky - lots of people felt entitled to send death threats and demands to the developers - the UK authorities were regularly involved in threat assessment[1]. If some LoL players[2] are willing to swat the other team after losing a match then they're quite willing to go extreme lengths if their favorite character gets nerfed.

I think this frequently toxic community interaction really impacts how game development studios interact with press and the public. The folks reporting legitimate bugs might just end up being buried in an avalanche of "BUG: My DPS damage is too low" that overwhelms an already tetchy CS department.

2. I'd just like to reinforce that most of the people in a community can be fine - it's the crazies that start a lot of these problems, most folks won't swat you for beating them at LoL.
I didn’t get a cold for just over 14 months. It was glorious. Now that I’m vaccinated I’ve been out a bit more and have been dealing with a head cold all week. If there’s a shot to stop colds, sign me up.
This advanced the short-term goal of keeping masks available to doctors at the expense of the long-term goal of maintaining their own credibility.

People tell me that I should trust those those who lie to me because at least their goals are honorable. I disagree. While it might be possible to lie to someone you trying to help or even someone you dearly love, it's pretty much by definition not something you do to someone you respect. I generally am wary of help from people who don't respect me.

Perhaps it would be helpful to have separate news channels for petulant children who need to be lied to so that they don't destroy civilization. Everyone else could watch the real news. Of course, nobody wants to be told they're a petulant child.
Like others have said, I agree that stating that TLS does not garuntee security. But, plain unencrypted HTTP does mean insecure.

For a good discussion into why _all_ websites should use HTTPS, and the many different ways that not having the connection secured is actively harmful and why should not be done in the modern era.

https://www.troyhunt.com/heres-why-your-static-website-needs...

Not having your site as HTTPS puts all of your website visitors at risk. Even US ISPs like that of Comcast use these very same practices to inject warnings into insecure web traffic[0], some of which look more like advertisements than warnings. And like mentioned in the article, promises from ISPs not to use it for advertisements are just that, promises, and those can be broken in an instant. And when you have the power to inject anything without notice, you can do anything and everything with the website experience. You can attempt to force a download, present scam pages that look like antivirus warnings or software updates, one of the easiest ways to have users fall for malware.

We should _never_ expect regular non-technical users to have all of their threat models in mind, nor should they be expected to understand all of these differences. Website owners should be expected to protect all of their visitors as best as possible and one of the easiest ways to start is by protecting their website with modern HTTPS encryption. Otherwise, it would be like a chef leaving the bones in a salmon before serving to a customer. You could do leave them in, but a customer might not know they are there and you have left a choking hazard.

Meh, I don’t think it’s that complicated. It’s because vaccines have finally been widely available for approximately the time it takes to achieve immunity.
I'm baffled how a developer ever assumes that whatever's on the keyboard is hardcoded and can never be changed.

Yes, for some reason (tradition, history) Macs prefer typewriter layouts on their keyboards. But... have you ever even tried looking into System Preferences - Keyboard - Input Sources and changing the layout to "US (PC)"?
First, I don’t see a reason why just a name would not be good enough as opposed to the mug shot itself.

Second, it seems that this same justification could be used to justify a lot of privacy breakdowns.
For example:

Question: “Why are the suspects naked in the mugshots?”

Answer: “This is actually a civil rights thing to show that they were not beaten up during their arrest. Before, police would hit suspects where their clothes would cover the injuries, but with naked mug shots published on the Internet, they can’t do that any more.”
Ask HN: Open university in the eyes of US grad schools and industries?
I recently attempted to my on back to school. Universities wouldn’t take me for a multitude of reasons and I can’t afford Community College (even with in state tuition I’m paying nearly what a 4 year degree would cost me here)
I’m looking at Open University now, which seems a miles more affordable and I could probably complete in a non-obscene timeframe.

However for the specific degree/industry I’m targeting they don’t really have a program. They do have programs that may allow me to apply to Masters programs in the field.

However I don’t know how Open University is seen by US schools or Companies. The name has a certain ring to it that makes me think “unaccredited for-profit that preys on non traditional students” even if I personally don’t think that way about it. Also open admission is a red flag (again not my personal opinion, just one I’ve seen enough discussion around)

Note: for the record and to avoid unrelated discussion, I’m not looking at a CS degree.
CIA-backed firm claims DarkSide ransomware site has shut down
After that I still saw a pattern where the media kept proffering worst case scenarios at every step, with no studies to back them up, even contradicting known science.

The most recent example of this is fear-mongering headlines indicating that the vaccines would not be effective against variants. This might be expected behaviour for the flu, but not a coronavirus.
I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic, but only one of them has an advertising budget.
SFTP.

Is the person doing the electrical wiring for a house an "engineer"? Here in the German-speaking countries a vocal subset of Electrical Engineers will be very insistent that you recognize the mere tradesperson wiring the house/substation/factory floor following the norms is not an Engineer and fundamentally different, even if they are legally qualified to inspect and certify it. (unless they happen to also have an engineering degree, but that's not the common path)

Which I think translates to software: lots of development work is not necessarily engineering, but that doesn't mean engineering doesn't happen in software or that the field of Software Engineering is not a thing. And since we do not use the degree to distinguish, it gets tricky who gets that title and who doesn't, and what part of an individuals work is which.

(And that's not just a software thing, e.g. aviation flight engineers don't really fit that scheme either, despite aviation being a serious field)

Yep, this one is on the shortlist of YC advice that's useful to founders.

The list:

- Launch now
- Build something people want
- Do things that don't scale
- Find the 90 / 10 solution
- Find 10-100 customers who love your product
- All startups are badly broken at some point
- Write code - talk to users
- "It’s not your money"
- Growth is the result of a great product not the precursor
- Don’t scale your team/product until you have built something people want
- Valuation is not equal to success or even probability of success
- Avoid long negotiated deals with big customers if you can
- Avoid big company corporate development queries - they will only waste time
- Avoid conferences unless they are the best way to get customers
- Pre-product market fit - do things that don’t scale: remain small/nimble
- Startups can only solve one problem well at any given time
- Founder relationships matter more than you think
- Sometimes you need to fire your customers (they might be killing you)
- Ignore your competitors, you will more likely die of suicide than murder
- Most companies don't die because they run out of money
- Be nice! Or at least don’t be a jerk
- Get sleep and exercise - take care of yourself
I came across this implementation of .S a couple of days ago (Starting-FORTH.pdf, page 50).

: .S CR 'S S0 @ 2- DO I @ . -2 +LOOP ;

I'm not sure if this could be adapted to work on CollapseOS. For starters, I can't quite figure out what 'S is. S0 is the (non-standard) stack pointer according to https://www.forth.com/starting-forth/9-forth-execution/ . The rest of it appears to be standard Forth, but I'm not sure how much of it is actually implemented.

Ofcourse my productivity dived.. I have to spend 3h per day on meetings to align with ppl on various thing because ppl force me to have f2f meetings over zoom. Things that could have been an email.

On top of that are kids and wife who drive me crazy and constantly interrupt when you have to focus.

This is not a correct way to measure WFH, during normal WFH situation my kids would be in school and my wife at work..

And coworkers wouldnt be so desperate for interactions with others.

If setting it to 3G is supposed to represent just 200ms latency, that's going to give you a very exaggerated and misleading impression of how bad it is. It's a meaningless test.

I thought you were giving an example of how bad connections can get, and saying that the extra latency would make it worse, but in that situation it's a drop in the bucket.
