And that is why engineers created the vaporizer.
Yet unlike ground-based service in my experience, the situation is improving with time. It took 15 years for my old place to go from 2.4 Mb/300 kb to bidirectional Gb and that only happened because AT&T was feeling generous briefly in 2019 w/r to expanding service (in that case, 400' of fiber to my cluster of houses). They stopped expanding shortly thereafter because so many people were in exactly the same situation that they were swamped with requests.
There is a big difference between being known about and tested in a lab and being mass produced, approved, and administered to millions of patients. The covid vaccines are the first of this class to be broadly rolled out.
From the abstract[1]:

> After decades of effort, 17% of the total residues in human protein sequences are covered by an experimentally-determined structure. Here we dramatically expand structural coverage by applying the state-of-the-art machine learning method, AlphaFold2, at scale to almost the entire human proteome (98.5% of human proteins).

Having done self hosting and and coming back to it after a 10 year break.. much easier.

One example of not setting everyone from scratch..

IaaS/Paas: Install Proxmox from USB.. 10 minutes from boot to web interface to your own local linode/digital ocean. Redundancy, setup 2 and link them. Disaster recovery, put it off site. Backups, connect it to one of a few built in options.

Network/infrastructure: deploy docker images for VPN (algo), firewalls (pfsense), dns (pihole), proxy (traefik, etc). It can remain an appliance that can be configured to self update if needed.

Storage: make storage into an appliance that you set and forget with a nas.

Next spin up your services/packages. Things like turnkeylinux is a nice way to try out things.

There is a nice self hosting community on Reddit if you’re interested for folks who have setup homelabs.
They were rushed. None of them have FDA approval. The FDA recommended for the JNJ vaccine to be pulled from the market.
How would the cops know?
Ask a Techspert: What is open source?
No kidding. Also I'm not surprised you are being downvoted despite making some very valid points.

I couldn't believe one of the first nurses they vaccinated at the beginning of the rollout was one prone to fainting - who then fainted.

SERIOUSLY? If they wanted to instill confidence that's NOT the way to do it. It's like they were trying to sow division from the start. And then they wonder why people are distrustful? Changing medical "facts" based on the politics of the moment hasn't done any of the "experts" any favors - from no mask, to masks, to double/triple the masks (freaking clown show, that one) now masks even if you have had it/get the jab (absolutely NO medial basis for that policy) - it's just nuts.

If you want to have a really good time, just look up dear Dr. Fauci and his handling of AIDS in the 80's and SARS in the 90's. How that man still holds the position he does is simply mind boggling. He's less reliable than the local weather forecaster and at least they have a good reason for their accuracy and won't kill people based on being moronically wrong. When you look at how he downplayed AIDS when it was well known he was flat out wrong; how many hundreds of thousands died (especially in the gay community) that didn't have to?

On balance vaccines are a slam dunk positive; I'm certainly NOT an anti-vaxxer (just got my shingles vaccine - shingles are nasty; don't fool around!). I'm just not in a hurry for the COVID vaccines when I don't have to be - especially when it's still under emergency approval. Heck there are still studies narrowing down the optimal dose size - the smaller you can make it while still being effective greatly diminishes the side effects and it could be as much as half of what they are currently doing according to more than one recent study I have seen. That's a huge difference! I have had allergic reactions in the past so yeah, I have zero problem waiting a bit until more of this stuff gets refined. That's hardly a nutter/denier position, yet there seems to be zero room for nuance in public discourse these days. It's either you are part of the heard/groupthink or you are worse than a nazi, non-human and subject to immediate purge from the planet :p
The vaccine isn't injected into the veins, it's injected into the muscle.

Tattoos are also injected into the muscles, and if you only had a 99% survival rate on those they'd be illegal and only the craziest of daredevils would risk them.

Anyway, my point is something with a 1% death rate is incredibly dangerous.
Content will always find a grey area that your rules don’t cover.

It would only make sense if they are selling training services to artists to migrate to UI design, and they want to lower their self-esteem so that they actually pay them for the training.

Oh.
Apparently many of them would rather not pay the bills
Suddenly before the election the conservative party gains a climate consciousness? Cynics would argue they are afraid to loose parts of their voters to the green party.
Thanks for the example! I think the scribd pdf viewer has some layout issues, but I can now recall that I've seen this font in quite a few places before.

It doesn't look bad, but I still don't think it quite works for dense paragraphs of text compared to Latin Modern. I do really like how it looks on the slideshow in a sibling comment, though.
Ignoring the fact that you probably consent to be studied in the Twitter ToS (and perhaps fairly since nobody reads the ToS so I’m not sure it constitutes a contract in spirit), why is it okay for Twitter to run an experiment on their user-base in this manner but not for say a research group to do the same without some sort if ethics review? E.g. is Twitter screening the users they opt in to make sure they don’t include people especially susceptible to seeing negative sentiment who’s day might be ruined by the presence of new downvotes? Not trying to be hyperbolic just thinking of a rhetorical example. What if this introduces more stress into people’s lives and they don't want/can’t/shouldn’t be expected to tolerate it?

I think it's more likely that a majority of people who reject the corona vaccines feel mildly insulted by the follow up question and decide to give a troll answer.

> The problem is, is supposedly, upvote = adds to the conversation, downvote = detracts from conversation.

That's the HN theory. The twitter theory is that dislikes, like likes and every other behavior on the site is a signal to feed into an engagement optimization algorithm.

Twitter has zero interest in conversation quality for its own sake, and every interest in optimizing audience size and engagement.
That seems absurdly low. My 250w panels get within 90% of rated output and I'm in Seattle.
I was being serious, I knew Reddit was funded by YC, but didn't know if there was any connection to HN.
It's taken me a long time to come to terms with this fact, but I (also a staff swe) am not a great idea factory. But if you have a problem you need solved, I can absolutely make that happen, and come up with creative solutions.
Australia races against time to avoid an 'in danger' rating at UNESCO vote

The age-old saying that "Freedom to swing my fist ends where the other man's nose begins" is something that Americans have a hard time with.

It's particularly difficult to reason about probability of harm versus the value of exercising their freedom - if they choose to bear arms, for example, and harm people through poor execution, accidental discharge, or kids hurting themselves with found firearms around the home. It's like swinging your fist into the other man's nose and answering "oops, I meant to stop a millimeter short". Maybe you shouldn't be pointlessly swinging your fist in the first place, go find a punching bag somewhere safe instead. It's even more difficult when you want to compel someone to take positive action instead of preventing them from doing something prohibited.

Personally, I don't believe I would die, either. I understand that the possibility of long-term problems is also low, though as an athlete I really value my lung capacity. However, I work with, am friends with, and am related to a lot of people who have far more risk. I believe I would be morally culpable if I failed to wear a mask, socially distance, or get the vaccine, and transmitted the pandemic to someone who did suffer from the illness.

Dan, may I suggest that you are taking this job too seriously. You are going to look back in the future and wonder why you spent so much time controlling others' speech on a Web site. You're so concerned about HN's value as a vessel, but so unconcerned with the value of what's inside it. You're a talented Lisper who seems to waste most of his time moderating, playing whack-a-troll and arguing with people about arguing (like me, here). You have more potential than you are fulfilling here, and you could be doing much more important things.
Seems like a rather broad statement. As an artist in UI design I disagree and think it's a fantastic meeting point of artistry and engineering.
Fair point! I actually still use KeePass on some machines that are stuck on Windows, as well as run the original KeePass on Linux ones as well thanks to Mono (IIRC).

Agreed, huge huge problem here. Anti-trust is way way way way over-due. I also think without Competitive (inter)Compatibility (comcom) rules, it is unlikely to be effective at allowing new things to get going.

Uhhhh I see zero evidence of this at all. Zilch. Nothing. Nada. Not a single thing.
muttantt says >"fixing type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol is a relatively easy with proper nutrition in just a few weeks."<

Leaving "high cholesterol" aside, everything I've read and seen indicates that "fixing type 2 diabetes" is extremely difficult, takes months to years rather than weeks, and is especially difficult to maintain. One of my friends is yo-yoing his weight right now (e.g., down 50 lbs, up 25, down 5,...) in an attempt to cease insulin. I had no idea someone's weight could vary so quickly. His daughter polices his diet carefully, he hides candy bars and other goodies, it's an amazing struggle.

Can you cite any studies that clearly state it is "relatively easy to fix type 2 diabetes"?

> what are you talking about?

This is a very strong narrative in the U.S. media to excuse the fact that we had a chance to do the right thing but didn't. When the political leadership realized that we were utterly unprepared and the Trump presidency would refuse to act in a meaningful way and Republicans would never accept blame for being in power without a solution, it had to turn into "it wasn't a solution and it just hurt economy." This is despite the in-your-face fact that many countries successfully used lockdowns to stop COVID in its tracks.

You have to realize that there is tremendous amount of censorship going on in the U.S. by a lack of reporting in general media. COVID is the ultimate in confirmation bias porn and is making the media companies lots of clicks. Many Americans are now addicted to various narratives on all sides; and, if they see something that contradicts their position they immediately throw the narrative out and/or straw man you that you're on the other side.

I can say that many of us Americans lament that freedom once meant "the ability to work together as we each see fit for the good ourselves and the common of good of the next generation" and now freedom equates to narcissistic goals at any justification and cost.
They're not responding to some guy just sitting in his house who didn't want to give up his Twitter handle, obviously.

During brain development ~< 25, I recommend against indulging in marijuana. It is a psychoactive drug that can alter developmental growth processes with long-term consequences. Well into adulthood, expression of many of the genes regulating development are suppressed, and thus the means for structural change are more limited; thus adults tend to be more resilient to psychoactive exposures.
But how do you do that with CG-NAT?
Even a cursory look at the abuses of NSO spyware reported by CitizenLab reveals misuse by the thuggish governments it courts as clients. Journalists, activists and dissidents have all been targeted. In Mexico health activists advocating against the over consumption of sugary pop were targeted!
Years ago I did some C++ development using Borland C++ Builder on Windows and couldn't find any problems or annoyances. I've been doing web dev (both front and backend) for a decade or so and can't really complain about anything really.

Developing in JavaScript and dealing with node_modules/node_modules/node_... is platform agnostic problem I think ;)

EDIT: What I like about developing on Windows is it's stability (update restarts notwithstanding). I've had Linux desktops fuck themselves up on more than one occasion. Not that I don't like Linux but...

Does the number of people infected and recovered figure in anywhere? natural antibodies are likely to be better, imo.
You're taking the selfish stance of weighing the risks solely for yourself. The facts are that the amount of people who do end up in the hospital and the ones that die is a number that we shouldn't be comfortable with as humans who live in a society where our actions affect others. This lack of empathy and respect for those around you is a poison and you should feel like a selfish asshole because you can't be bothered with minor inconveniences that might help someone around you avoid the worst of this thing.
This is where Canada's concept of a crown corporation works quite well.

It is established with a specific mandate by a province or the federal government, but run at a pretty long arm's length while still being accountable to the legislature. Some crown corps, like Hydro Quebec, produce their own revenue, so they have some market incentives to perform and are not subject to the whims of the annual government budget.

One pessimistic argument would be that AWS has no incentive to be honest or timely about acknowledging service outages.
> Very few people would argue that they have the freedom to pump chemicals into the air that kill 1% of the population

The cigarette industry argued this for years past the discovery of passive smoking.

In fact I'd say a large amount of 20th century industrial history has been discovering the long list of things that shave bits and pieces off the lives of people in aggregate and banning them - in the face of opposition saying they have a right to emit this and denying the harm.

Exactly, I would recommend spending a few thousand on a good PPC marketing agency and let them set up your marketing. You might be amazed at what this would accomplish since your product seems fine.
You've hit the nail on the head with my experience. I have noticed this with a brother who smoke daily.. I never really put it down to the marijuana use entirely, but more of an aversion to any kind of confrontation/disagreement that might make him second guess himself etc.

Personally I can't smoke it anymore, I get super anxious now and nervous. I don't enjoy it, but I can see why some people who enjoy it would rather avoid any kind of mental doubt/disagreements.
Health insurance has been doing this too.
Intuit is a middleman, pure and simple. Collecting taxes is 100% a government issue, not a private one.

There's zero reason why the government shouldn't guide you through a government program.

Except, of course, profits for the middleman.

I agree that sometimes getting a professional to help is useful--I've hired people when my taxes were extra complex.

But if your taxes are no more complex than W2+itemized deductions+home owner+passthrough LLC, you can easily do them yourself today. And if you're not sure what to do, ask an accountant and then you'll know for next year.

What would make it trivial is if the government would set up a website to guide you through it. But for some idiotic reason (cough lobbyists cough) they haven't done it.

Every time you pay Intuit, you're making taxes even harder for posterity and guaranteeing your own future expenses.
From my experience, if an app takes more than a few months to build and launch, the risk is no longer worth it. Large companies also do this (years building before launching and i have yet to hear of a success)

I mean it's in a response to the one I mentioned. This should not be seen and only considered in isolation. The backstory and events play a part.

No self-respecting Open Source project should ban you for simply asking a question. I don't consider it entitlement to then go back and address the reaction specifically. At the very least both sides show emotions. One is hurt from the lack of openness, the other from being questioned at all.
Grad student stipend checking in. $21k/year in a large metro area (although not quite on the level of SF/NYC expensive). Median household income in my city is ~$100k/year.

Yes this is "enough" but no, it is not enough (especially after having worked and lived for a few years in a medium/low cost of living city).

That being said, $5k/month for "basic expenses" is definitely ridiculous. NYC/SF COL is like 30% more expensive than where I'm living, not a full 2.8x more expensive for basic expenses.

Edit: Also worth noting that in this context the $5k/month is spendable, so in SF for example this translates to about $82k/year pre-tax income, which according to the 2019 census is well above the median individual income of ~$52k.
No standard color of course, but we're so attuned to looking at people that we internalize certain ideas of what skin looks like (or should look like), more so than other objects out in the world. The big things I'd avoid are cooler tones (blue, green) as well as yellow; a touch of red or magenta is tolerated much better. In fact because there's no standard skin tone, that provides latitude to get something that looks right without nailing it exactly as long as the pitfalls I mentioned above are avoided.
