The most vulnerable are in two groups.

1) Obese and
2) the elderly with multiple co-morbidities.

Group 1, is more morally culpable for their own gluttony then I am for not getting the vaccine. Society paid a high price to keep them around.

Group 2, reducing chance of dying from one disease only increases the odds of dying from something else. Very likely that these people would have died from their other diseases and co-morbidities.

In Spain we are supposed to be grateful for the lifting of mask wearing outdoors on the 26th even though its pretty established the transmission outdoor is close to 0. It's become safety theatre at this point completely disconnected to the actual science.
For better or worse, science has enjoyed 400+ years of arbitrarily ignoring phenomena that are simultaneously profound but also irreproducible, while agreeing by convention that those phenomena are the realm of theology.

Science has been an incredibly fruitful pursuit, but it has left itself utterly un-equipped to deal with aliens.
I’d love to see stats on how well this matches accounts to themselves if you split an account’s comments into two pseudo-accounts and tried to match them.
Very ignorant, the difference is clearly the number, and the fact that humans kill for pleasure (taste) and convenience, but let's just focus on the number. Do you see the difference between murdering one person and murdering 10?

What's this quality of life horseshit? So if a person has "low quality of life" then i guess murdering them will get you a lighter sentence?

Sorry for using murdering as examples, I just dont have a better way to make the point.
I thought this also - but as it turns out - you can make conclusions with really small sample sizes in medicine.

For example (this has nothing to do with the paper), if the average rate of some condition - some rare brain tumor - is 1 in 50M - and you take 200 COVID-19 patients and 4 of them have it - and they have several of these tumors - you can have high CI & Power with a low sample size.

When you're doing conversion rate optimization - it's usually just "did this person make a purchase?" And usually, your base rate is not less than 1/1000... But in medicine, there are ways to measure the severity of the symptoms and a lot of things are quite rare.
I've had my tesla model 3 for 2 years and haven't had to do any maintenance on it whatsoever. I've also been driving it a good amount and haven't noticed any battery degradation (I'm good about charging it to recommended levels). At this point I don't see any reason why it wouldn't last 10 years.
Can people like you explain why you care so much about animals more than humans? Seems that suffering should be solved first yeah? I don't know how you expect humans to help animals if they can't help themselves
The flu causes myocarditis in a similar way that COVID has been reported to cause in children. Having a comparison of rates of issues would be useful so as to figure out if it’s important or not.

The same goes for this reported brain issue. If it is a real issue, comparing against other known issues will tell us how dangerous it is.

If this is what it is, then I'm totally wrong. This is a really good idea. A wireless hotspot, anyone can setup to distribute terabytes of material to others, preferably with a charge/login option.

Years ago we did this with a wireless access point 'Login for free movies" in our apartment. But couldn't (at the time) work out an easy way to distribute the AVI's once randoms connected.

Wikipedia not clear IIAB is this and I didn't see it from the web site - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet-in-a-Box

To do this, what's vital is cafe owners and teachers and students can buy this product and easily dump stuff on. A movies section, comics section, a books section they can make pretty, they need ownership in their collations.

Their FAQ is on OLPC's site which had a horrific attitude of not allowing others to use their products and locking them down.

Once you pay someone to set IIAB up, giving them Starlink would be around the same price. IIAB has to be open and easy to buy.

Where? The Dominican Republic video was 4 years ago. Is it up and running? These things are easy to send in a team for and have running for a few months. I would be surprised if one was running for more than a year without an expat there.

That's still not true. It's more likely to be one glitch you haven't thought of than three successive glitches that you have thought of.

The president and all his ball suckers are promoting misinformation since the beginning. people are eating ivermectin and HCQ as candies, and you keep saying should be that ivermectin is saving people?

I lost another friend yesterday and we got 500k deaths.

IF THERE WAS ANY GOOD USE OF any of these "miracles" drugs I'd be happy. People are dying because of these misinformation. Show me any good article (not a pre-print) you fool.
They had over 700 people total, 50% control and 50% infected; which they break down earlier in the same paragraph. The 15 people are those who are hospitalized and the abstract literally says the results from that small group aren’t significant.
That's an interesting approach.

I usually run a postgres db (as a docker image on circleCI) when I'm running the build. I'm not sure how scalable it is (currently we have a hundred migrations and it's a few seconds so not bad).

The flow is:

- run migrations on an empty DB
- create the interfaces and enums
- run typescript
- derive all the json schemas from the interfaces for API validation

This means we gitignore the actual DB Types which is great in order to reduce the amount of sources of truth and deal with possible issues

This all runs as a pre-commit hook as well. I guess by doing so we sort of validate the SQL is legit via postgres itself. The only issue we face after a commit gets passed the setup stage and tries to run the migration itself is if theres a data* inconsistency we weren't aware of (trying an enum value we thought wasn't used but was). But that sort of things requires special tasks anyways and the migration fails so nothing ever goes wierd (which is why I <3 SQL migrations )
Theft of catalytic converters isn’t a major issue in my area.

You're comparing dynamically resizable Julia arrays against Eigen's static arrays. Julia does have a static array package, StaticArrays.jl.
All those videos are repeating the same thing over and over, with some changes (some that are even contradicting themselves).

People who are into it they hear it so many times that it seem so obvious to them, but whenever they try to explain it to someone else themselves they are realizing they have difficulty, because everything is falling apart. They think it's because they aren't the experts so they link to videos instead. They don't realize that they have problem explaining it, because the argument is very weak, and if you think about it, it doesn't make much sense.
This is a really misguided opinion. Even an EV still has a significant carbon footprint in terms of electricity production. While it is possible to reduce or negate this with renewables in the future, its much less likely that building them now has a less significant carbon footprint. Plus, the old ICE vehicles people are driving are still providing lots of value with their cost already sunk. Its not like a lot of people are daily driving their classic Impala from the 60s.
It will be very interesting to see what happens! A common theme in mathematics is that the proofs are the (relatively) easy part, while knowing what to prove is hard. Still, I'm sure mathematicians will welcome greater automation of the "easy" part. If machines ever do more than drudge work, there will also be the challenge of making the machine-generated proofs intelligible to humans, similar to the interpretability issues around machine learning models today.
Stress reduces brain volume in similar areas, this effect could just be that people got extremely stressed out from having caught the pandemic virus. I'd like to see these studies take stress into account before I believe that covid hurts your brain.

Looks useful. I ran into some invalid geojson some time ago. Apparently clock wise vs. counter clockwise direction of coordinates in outer polygons and their holes is a thing. So are self intersecting polygons. There are multiple issues that prevent some products to function properly. E.g. Elasticsearch is particularly picky when it comes to this. I had some polygons that rendered perfectly fine that it still found reason to reject. There is a lot of bad data out there.
Emojis are allowed in SSIDs. I'm surprised no one has abused this yet, but I guess people just leave their SSIDs at LinkSys_BA69BE42 or similar.

Considering how many devices like printers, game machines, and IOT devices can't handle emojis, there's no good reason to use them unless you just want to make life harder for yourself.

Shipping tech debt should be compared to the realistic alternative which is never shipping at all. The solution is not to ship slower, but to attract a better team and then retain them. They say the CEO's #1 job is recruiting and this is why. Actually more important is growing your revenue faster, if revenue compounds faster than debt then you're good!

Oh yeah, your Radium screenshot is hella complicated - but the surprising thing to me is how much it makes sense for me, even though the last time I touched a tracker was back around 1998.
First off, it sucks to feel trapped and anxious. I’m sorry.

Your story sounds somewhat common on HN- lack of formal education credential, degree of isolation socially, and emotional/mental health problems.

Do you have a mentor/coach type figure you can talk to? Someone that you aren’t trying to get a job from, but who can talk to about the non-tech parts of working?

What are you doing in your non-working hours? You said you are down to one friend. I suspect that being more social would help your mental state and work on those important social skills. In my 20s I met friends though social sports leagues (bocce ball, dodgeball, etc…), and in my 30s through service organizations/volunteering. These are nice frameworks for meeting people because they give you a shared sense of identity and commonality out of the box. Remember to be generous in how you interact with people, smile and laugh a lot, and that they are probably awkwardly seeking friends too.

Apologies if you hear this all the time. If interested, I’d like to hear your story and maybe do some mentoring. I’m (my hn username) at outlook.com

I've been saying for a while now, that decentralization is an implementation detail, which makes cryptos robust to attack from various parties. But the main thing driving adoption and innovation is permissionless usage and innovation. It means that anyone, anywhere in the world can use or create open financial systems. That's an insanely powerful concept that has never existed before. That said, survival of the fittest will dictate that the most decentralized systems are still around for the long term.

The strictest logical interpretation of your statement is that since democracy requires various conditions X, Y, Z, as you say, then if any of those conditions are not met, then the phenomenon of democracy must not be present.

In that sense, you are agreeing with me because what I wrote is also that democracy requires a rational constituency (that therefore doesn't exhibit blind faith in government).

Though you thought you would be writing statements which disagree with mine, as you can see it is difficult to get away from the idea that democracy must be defined by the good outcome, and not the political motions and trappings that are supposed to cargo-cult it into existence. Dictatorships have pseudo-democratic "votes" also.

Consider that the bulk of the power structure of a modern "free world" government is not elected. The elected cabinet is like a squad of midget toreadors armed with whips, where the government is a 50,000 pound bull.

It seems I have some overlap with qsort. Given the posts I have seen from that account, I take that as a compliment.

There are valid concerns and a difficult risk benefit analysis for some cohorts, I think. What are your thoughts on this? Put yourself in her shoes:

"I held off on a COVID vaccine because I wanted to wait for data with positive signals for both pregnancy in the short term and long-run fertility. I’m trying to get pregnant, and those are the two things I care about most.

Vaccine data is so politicized that it’s actually somewhat difficult to find full studies, results discussions or data sets as a layman, because every search term redirects you to “yes, get vaccinated right now, your concerns are merely ignorance”

The other study that concerns me shows that the vaccine’s lipid nanoparticles— which carry the RNA instructions for the spike protein — move beyond the deltoid muscle they’re injected into and accumulate in other tissues, and seem to accumulate in ovarian tissue preferentially.

That study looked at a very small sample, but given what we think we know about the spike protein — it likely causes some degree of tissue damage on its own, independent of the virus — it’s something that definitely demands further study

Anyway, I feel like I need to come clean at this point. For a long time I was avoiding the vaccine because I wanted to hold out for more data. Now I’m actively choosing not to get it because what I’ve seen is providing the opposite of a positive safety signal for my purposes.

It’s really important that I clarify I’m not at a high risk of exposure. I generally don’t work or even socialize outside my home. Lockdown life frankly doesn’t look that different from my preferred lifestyle. If I were a high exposure risk I would think about this differently

I’m in the process of getting a prescription for prophylactic ivermectin, which has also become extremely politicized — to the point of becoming a censored topic on some platforms. I’m not giving advice, here. I’m not making broader efficacy claims. I’m just trying to be honest

COVID is no joke. You do not want to get COVID. “Long COVID” symptoms should concern you even if you don’t think an infection would kill you. But the vaccines are very new and skipped a great deal of otherwise required safety testing, and some of this data is really worrisome."

Why is having aliens bad? If there really are extraterrestrial entities on earth, and they aren't making any acts of aggression, that seems like it could potentially be a good thing, although there is the big question of why they would hide from the general population but allow themselves to be seen by the occasional pilot...

I have a 2000 Jeep Cherokee that I bought from a friend at 25K miles in the Colorado mountains. It spent a handful of years there, a handful in Salt Lake City, a handful in Lake Tahoe, and another handful in Bellingham, WA, with many drives to Mt. Baker, of course :). She is at 190K and rusting but mechanics love telling me she is in great condition. Most reliable vehicle I have ever known. Simply won’t give up.

For people with conspiracy theorist hats, any name can smells like an intelligence community front. Too weird and it's obviously fake, too normal and it just shows you that the intelligence community is Very Tricky Indeed and almost managed to fool us by choosing such a normal name. But luckily, due to our Advanced Conspiracy Theorist Hat Technology advantage we knew upfront that anything we look at is an intelligence community front and therefore they can never fool us with their devious naming choices.
Yes

The planes might also (I mean, yes, they have, but we don't know what it is exactly) classified capabilities and sensors. And "black boxes" (not exactly that, but more like FOQA probably).

It is also likely someone took data from those flights and tried to plot the possible object paths. Did any (unclassified) conclusion come from that?
Interesting. If there is a market for these (over wheeled robots) then if the Unitree robot is in anyway capable compared with Boston dynamics there’s a good chance they will become the market leader in the same way that DJI ‘owns’ the drone market.

Norway. I've only done this with a single employer over multiple years, but I've received offers from at least four others where I was clear about a 4-day week (with 20% reduced salary) being a requirement for me.

I've of course always taken care to not present this as the first thing that comes out of my mouth when interviewing, but I have always broached the subject in the first conversation I've had with decision-makers at the company in question.

My biggest worry is the effects of "4 days for me, but not for thee". A lot of workers in many industries can't afford to only work 4 days, and what kind of social divisions will standards like this create?
Generally the state teaching certification is not required for private schools in grades 1-12. The background check is required by most states.
There's even greater herd immunity for measles and co., yet there are outbreaks among unvaccinated people all the time. Perhaps those odds are not that small. COVID-19 is probably never going to go away.

And you worry about the long term side effects for the vaccine's one protein, but only focus on the treatment (and not the side effects) for the virus that has 29 of them and tries its best to multiply itself. Do you see how this line of reasoning doesn't seem to compute?

I was contacted by an Amazon recruiter some month back. The experience was so unpersonal, I felt like a soulless robot: I just got a link to a HackerRank test and solved some automated puzzles with no one but me and the clock ticking. How I understand coding tests is that there should be a human being that evaluates how you approach a problem, not a fully automated assignment.
Well apple may be forced to sell physical hardware to shops, I agree with many here you can’t force them to provide everything. Mercedes for example has tons of software and software tools just for mostly internal and some dealer use, that allow you to do many more things with the car (like changing configuration flags, updates for the ecu and entertainment systems…).
I'm confused - I thought VMs really needed to be avoided when benchmarking because the host system could completely change how many cycles you're effectively getting and screw up your results without even meaning to. Is there's some good way to control for this that I wasn't aware of? Because benchmarking in virtual machines would be really great for the whole list of reasons if you can get away with it.
