It's still anecdotal, but my cousin's wife who is a nurse also had covid twice, both of them confirmed infections(as in, she tested positive), the second one was after she'd received her first shot(not sure which vaccine, but one of the 2-dose ones)

I have no clue if they were different variants or what caused her to not be immune, or how unlucky she were(this might be exceedingly rare) but for me it's been a good anecdote to tell people who think they don't need the vaccine because they already had covid.

Get vaccinated!
My personal M1 Mac mini doesn't even have Chrome installed on it, and won't.

My work MacBook has Safari as the default, with Chrome and Firefox installed but often not running.

Chrome is such an abysmal memory hog, and slower, that I would also rather use Edge, and now that you've reminded me it exists, I might install it.
The fact that you aren't aware of the 1970s flu in the Soviet Union which was caused by a lab leak is telling. Again confident absolute statements from someone who doesn't really understand the topic they are commenting on.

There have been numerous lab leaks that are recorded in history and they happen every year.

After SARS it only took 4 months to identify the intermediate host which was a civet. After MERS, it took nine months to identify a camel as an intermediate host.

18 months later with vastly more scientific resources at their disposal and also technology that didn't exist for the other two like smartphones, no intermediate mammal host has been found yet.

The Occam's razor suggestion for this is the reason for this is the only intermediate mammal host that exists is a humanized mouse with human ACE2 receptors lining its lungs.

You know, the humanized mice that were specifically mentioned as being present in the Wuhan Institute of Virology by multiple sources including grants applied for and received directly stating this.

Out of curiosity, d you mind sharing one of those books?
I am being shunned by my family because of my lack of interest in the vaccine. I've had COVID and recovered. I also don't get a flu shot each year. I really like not putting things into my body, especially when year after year I may or may not "catch" these things but if I do, I always recover. I act responsibly and do not go out when I am sick.

However, none of these facts or articles such as this will ever effectively challenge the "get the vaccine or you are a bad citizen and will kill everyone" emotional arguments that are out there.

I have continuously been near or around folks that have come down with Covid and have yet to encounter a second infection or positive test since my initial infection. I look forward to when greater fact-based realities start to take hold again.

Even when you get those stolen GPUs placed on your porch for free, you still have to set them up in mining rigs, install software, cables, cooling et cetera, and you need to cater to the hardware once it is running and fix problems coming up.

The difference between Bitcoin ASICs and GPUs in performance is large enough to make the expenses with these activities not worth the hassle, even if you get the hardware AND the power for free.
> It's not up to Chrome devs

Well apparently it is, because they're doing it.
What should be considered RIGHT NOW, is that given the supply chain issues, if you are NOT on a cloud platform, good luck getting new hardware from major vendors. With AWS/Azure you can provision immediately. If you have some old hardware whose performance is impacting your production environment given the dependency on it, good luck. Firms like Dell are already stating this.
> The nuance here is that brain-damaged appsec pentesters reported this as a vulnerability for years

as a low-risk privacy defect yes, because things like bank account and routing numbers would be stored in autofills for certain banking sites that don't require authn/authz to initiate a transfer.

(I can think of a handful of platforms frequently used for common services like paying HOA fees which are currently vulnerable to this, meaning another user sharing the machine can simply hit ⬇ on the keyboard in form fields on a page that doesn't require authn/authz to initiate an external transfer in order to capture any stored banking details that were previously entered into the form.)

Psychological operations (PSYOP) are operations to convey selected information and indicators to audiences to influence their emotions, motives, and objective reasoning, and ultimately the behavior of governments, organizations, groups, and individuals.

unfortunately the false positives with our PCR testing is abysmal - in the US the CDC recommended cycle thresholds of >40 to signify a true positive. That is beyond insane - with the flu we recognize false positives are likely after just a CT of 23!

Your friends likely got sick twice, maybe once from covid and PCR tested positive twice. This is what the current literature understands - it's not impossible that you'recorrect, but unlikely.
If anything, this looks like the US has some new technology they are testing.

This comment would be more valuable if you’d made it in a constructive way with even one detailed example of defused substance.
You’re making the assumption that the loss is large enough to warrant the hardware improvements.

Getting high quality data about an electricity grid is extremely expensive and difficult. A big part of that in the U.K. is driven by the fact that most of our distribution networks are underground, which means that a lot of equipment is located below ground level.

This gives you one big problem, the place where you want to install your fancy new sensors are all located in places that most telecom systems don’t/can’t serve (4G doesn’t work very well in a hole). Plus to make your life even harder, power distribution equipment puts of plenty of EM interference, making radio comms even harder. So you can put the hardware in, you just can’t communicate with it. Making it kinda useless.

Obviously there are plenty of place were this isn’t true, but they’re in the minority. End result is that lots of fancy equipment doesn’t get deployed.
Can you please post a pointer to the thread in question?
Technically it's "implemented" as a javascript library that you can edit and customize to fit your specific needs and use cases.

Who said after recovery you need vaccine? Probably you just need to share official documentation from your government and official health body with your family. Afaik, recovered and vaccinated are treated the same currently.
What continues to grimly amuse me is that many of these websites that also have a mobile app will basically keep you signed in forever on the mobile app. It's just the website, where most people would prefer to do their heavy lifting work on, that has the anti-usability nonsense that makes you install plugins like auto-refresh-every-10-minutes.
incorrect, PCR tests detect any virus matter - active or otherwise. This is a very important distinction since we've seem to lost our minds collectively and label PCR tests with a cycle threshold of >40 as a true positive.
That said, I've had more issues with Media Mail than other services. The final straw was when they lost a large box of books I sent to my nephews, except they found all the box parts with the information to send back to me. I filled out a report with a list of the books (didn't have pictures, unfortunately) and they never found them. No refund, of course.
Then you'd just get people gaming the system or fake diploma mills - the rise of paper MBA's is one example.

no... i’ve worked with a fair number of leet code all stars at startups and they are rarely capable programmers in a product development sense (taken in isolation). I would say the reason the plumber vs engineer analogy is condescending is the implication that non algo work operates with well defined problems and criteria and rarely requires any engineering. my experience has been the opposite. To solve problems effectively and pragmatically it requires understanding the system constraints in addition to the people constraints. Generally speaking even identifying the key problem and constraints is a relatively rare skill, much less selecting a solution that fits the people, budget, and timelines. I’ve since realized it’s that most software developers — algo skills or not — are simply not great engineers. Having accomplished anything rigorous like leet code helps (demonstrates diligence and effort), although it is still no substitute for a history of shipping working software and personally even if i’m tasked with interviewing a candidate using an algo whiteboard, i don’t do it.
I was EU-zoned :°(
Listening to the Prof. Drosten Podcast (German only), he highly doubts that they actually had reached herd immunity before their second deadly wave.

He rather assumes something like 40% and then the mutated variant raged on (not badly affecting but infecting the 40% partially, and thus driving the infections).
Digest auth can be air gapped but the time aspect of TOTP still makes digest comparatively less secure (plus digest isn't typically even done separately to the primary client device, nevermind airgapping, whereas TOTP is at least most commonly used via an entirely separate device).

> You’d need to type a nonce into the dongle, then type the result into your computer.

That would be a cool augmentation of digest auth, but afaik is hypothetical currently (at least as far as common use goes). I can use TOTP airgapped right now.

> in practice, the server has to have non-air-gappped access to a TOTP generator

This is a fair point, but requiring full server compromise is still a nice step up from being mitm-able.

> so it’s not really air gapped at all

That seems like a rather extreme conclusion to draw. Client-side only air gapping is still airgapping, the fact it doesn't extend to protection from server compromise doesn't completely invalidate the benefits.
I know there are issues with it, but I love USB-C. We are building a weekender campervan with my wife (don't judge) and we decided that there is no point spending money (and space) on an inverter anymore. Most things we have (laptops/phones/cameras) either already charges from USB-C (or compatible with an adapter), or a 12V charger exists. In fact we won't even hard-wire USB-C wall ports, because cigarette lighter USB adapters are constantly improving (current best ones are around 60W on a single port). We are saving a ton of money and modern DC-DC chargers are probably way more efficient and less bulky than and 12VDC->110AC->9-12VDC conversion could ever be. I wouldn't be surprised if this trend continued and we started seeing little off-grid cabins go entirely DC. It just makes sense.
I'm very curious how that can be better then an electrical heater.

It has to be more inefficient as you are not spending energy on calculation but if you substitute it with selling your bitcoins you would need to compensate your co2
Talk about turning the tables :D
The common consensus among scientists now is that the vaccine works against most if not all variants as well.
If recovered people have longer term protection than vaccinated people (which is one possible interpretation of the headline's statement), would it make sense to first vaccinate someone and then expose them to the real virus, thereby generating the benefits with a much much lower risk or maybe even zero risk?
Much like public records, most code that doesn't retain personal records or for basic security should be open source.
It looks pretty, but has some fairly substantial problems.

- Data collection: Generally feels nasty these days, especially on something self-hosted. The opt-in-by-default newsletter checkbox might even be illegal in Europe. Don't know what else it might be calling home about without checking the source.

- Deceptive data collection: The HotJar survey popping up starts making you think maybe it needs to know where you host images so that it can handle image uploads... but no, it just wants to collect data and dial home

- Docs say that the docker instance starts on port 8080 - it isn't, it's on 5000

- Email and password validation: it's a little thing, but that should be at least configurable. Valid emails can contain "+" character.

- Couldn't work out how to connect from one docker instance to a second docker instance mysql database. Might need some kind of docker-compose setup though, I didn't look that long

- Couldn't create a new database either. It said it created, but then wouldn't let me add a table, just errored. No idea why on that one.

And that's kinda where I gave up.
This has been covered repeatedly on HN. There's no evidence of this. Electrophoresis is slow because of the laws of physics! That's why a 2007 kindle panel's update speed is the same as a 2021 kindle but the contrast ratio and cost is vastly superior since those are things that aren't violating physics! Companies like ClearInk are trying different methods to get faster speed but to achieve that they are forced to sacrifice bistability. Not sure why this factually incorrect trope about patents keeps getting repeated. You can look at my comment history to see that I've been trying to address this issue repeatedly.
I get it pretty often. I am assuming they want to use this as a means to see code that I have written in collaboration with others.

It's a decay product of uranium. IIRC it was discovered by putting some uranium ore in an upside down glass completely filled with water and noticing that over time gas accumulated at "top."

So it's limited and escapes the earths gravity well when vented to the atmosphere but we're unlikely to actually run out any time soon.
My girlfriend got infected about ten days after my second AstraZeneca jab. We didn't isolate. I got tested:

- Zero naturally-occurring antibodies (the kind you would get from having had COVID).

- Strong presence of vaccine-induced antibodies.

However, given the timing, I am still uncertain as to whether I contracted COVID during that post-second-jab 4 weeks when my girlfriend was infected (I gave blood for the test while I was still feeling bad in the weeks after the second injection, and I didn't spring for the 'currently infected' test, since the whole package of tests was pretty expensive).

If I got COVID now, would it not be handled exclusively by vaccine-induced antibodies, which means that any test for having had COVID in the future would still be negative?

I'm no kind of doubter, and I'm pretty sure the AZ double-jab helped me lately, but I'm not sure I'll ever know if I was ever infected, to be honest.

IMO, when used is real life scenarios actual users would start to find the unique patterns and visuals in each one. It is hard to evaluate this as a passive viewer with no vested interest in any of the names/avatars as they are presented.

Personally, I saw enough general distinctive qualities among them that I felt like if I interacted with a handful of these avatars frequently that I would notice the minor differences easily.
Yes, PSD2 (Payment Services Directive vol 2) should require strong customer authentication for online payments throughout EU. How Klarna is able to skirt this regulation is beyond me. Either they've found a loophole in the law or they are already in breach but the financial regulators are holding back from enforcing it.

How Much Does a Home Gym Cost in 2021
How does that challenge this evidence?
The vaccine, yes. But I'm not sure there's such consensus around homegrown antibodies.
But you _did_ catch covid so being careful isn't always enough. I don't think it's emotional or unreasonable for your family to require the vaccine before you visit.

Also, I'm not suggesting that you will "kill everyone" by not getting the vaccine, but it really isn't just about you and that you personally will probably recover.

Do you think it's a reasonable thing for most people to take your stance and not get vaccinated? We are at the tail end of this thing _because_ we have a vaccination available.
Well I am not sure I agree. It seems to me that there are significant security complications due to the need of making a runtime comparison to determine the integrity of the return destination. How are we to be convinced that the value at the top of the shadow-stack is not attacker-controlled?
I asked about this. The response I got was that many people who got COVID had a mild case where the immune system did not kick in very strongly. That these are more likely to get a 2nd infection. The vaccine for them will give them coverage from a second infection.

They want everyone to get the vaccine so that people aren't missed who had a mild case.

Right or wrong, this is the reasoning being shared where I live.
I did the math in my area/provider and it came out to a .01 discount on the standard rate, which is not much of a discount at all. Even for the largest industrial, multi megawatt plans, which was surprising.
Let’s say you have some interesting challenges in a new space in deep learning and you like to hire people who can ramp up and learn the area relatively quickly.

Or let’s say you have a massive set of services you need to integrate with to solve your next set of business commitments for the coming year.

How do you hire folks who truly have the motivation and speed of learning to solve these areas on your team? Both are proprietary subject matters. Both haven’t really been done before and require a tenacious self-starter.

In that sense leetcode + team player/leadership qualities might make more sense.

Yeah it’s CRUD more or less 80% of the time re: code. But the ability to tackle ambiguity in an overwhelmingly large space and still be inventive: that’s what’s being tested. And as you get more experienced the technical assessment skews to system design which is also a good bar for just - how do you consistently simplify technical and organizational complexity?

It’s why FAANG + unicorns’ compensation is high. It’s a correctly-priced asset in the market. To the business these are important functions.

Jeremy Corbell, to me, doesn't seem very credible, and yet he keeps putting out these "leaks" and the Pentagon keep confirming that the videos are genuine, which surely just validates and encourages his behaviour?

I'm confused as to what the motives are here. (Ie. why the Pentagon choose to comment on these "leaks" when presumably they could just not).
Ask HN: How Remove long gear pinion half of which is hollow space

1) I love containers when I’m researching/prototyping potential solutions for a problem. Using containers I can quickly spin up an isolated version of the software without having to mess with build systems, package managers, dependencies etc. Usually a “docker run” with some flags to set environment variables and expose ports is enough. And I can easily remove it from my system after the experiment is done.

2) I love docker-compose for describing dependencies during development. Things like databases, caches, message queues. Just one docker-compose.yml file in the project root describing the containers and a “docker-compose up” and I have a full environment for that project up and running.

3) Containers can help reproduce complex build environments. Let’s say an Android app with specific versions of Android Sdk, Ndk, cmake, swig. Package the necessary toolchain versions in a container and any team member can reproduce the same build regardless of what OS they are running natively. And if you have the build env in a container then CI tools can use it as well.
No they don’t. I’ve never ever heard of embedded Rust. Not saying it’s impossible but it just doesn’t happen.
