You get 15 hours of actual screen-on usage on a GPD Micro PC? Color me impressed if that's the case. Mind sharing those optimizations?
Do they have a policy for what happens if your doctor recommends you do not get the vaccine due to allergies or reasons related to your immune system?

It is not necessarily correct that 90% of vaccinated people won't get the virus; they might be asymptomatic because that is what the vaccine is meant to do: help your body fight the virus. It doesn't stop them from catching it.
Creating completely private networks in a public cloud, and also being able to link these networks across the WAN to other private networks in different regions seems the opposite of nothing to offer IMO.
You can get a fairly extensive coverage for the launch from BYTE magazine from archive.org. The Amiga 1000 is described extensively. A similar in-depth analysis was done for the 2000 and the PC bridgeboard.

There were also lots of Amiga-specific magazines, but they lack the perspective of general magazines, which is useful when first approaching a new platform.
His post history looks fine and readable to me.
GAMI is a super interesting and innovative company. They also pioneered the practice of using precision-balanced fuel injectors to help plane engines run more smoothly. Factory engines come with radically unbalanced fuel injection, one cylinder might get 10-20% more fuel than others. GAMI developed a procedure for you to test the imbalance in your engine and then sell you a set of balanced injector. That saves fuel, wear on the engine, and even lets you run lean of peak more safely if you want.
Again, we are talking about WFH. And potentially for vaccinated people who just aren't ready to go back to the office.
> The reach is in how far you're applying it.

I'm not "applying it". I'm stating what it is.

> But then you can't say the natural programming is the reason.

Sure you can. Because as I said, infants do it. It's why the researchers chose infants and toddlers. Nobody TAUGHT an infant to prefer their own kind over others.

> It's one factor and not one of the bigger factors.

You are simply not getting it. We are NATURALLY programmed to prefer our in-group. But we can be programmed via propaganda ( government, media, education, etc ) to go AGAINST our programming.

> Do I seriously need to pull out a genetics textbook? If you keep a steady population

Not only do you fail at genetics, you fail at statistics.

> If two people with one copy have children, about a quarter of them will have blue eyes.

Right and 3/4th will have non-blue eyes. Just think about it. Breeding at random, the blue eyed population will simply diminish generation after generation.

> and have people marry at random

Also, who is talking about "random". The original commenter wrote : "I think people have an instinct for enriching their genome, that's why we're attracted to features our own group lacks, like different skin/hair color, facial structure, etc."

He was saying that people have an "instinct" and preference for out-group. I proved this was false with many sources. Science says that people have an "instinct" to prefer their in-group. The only way to counter it is with societal programming/propaganda. As I said.

I provided the sources. You aren't arguing against me, you are fighting against science. I'll end the "debate" here as it gets tiring repeating science over and over again.

There's a cost to switching to IPv6 and a cost to buying IPv4 addresses. When the cost to buying IPv4 addresses exceeds the cost of switching, people will switch. In my humble opinion, there is no problem - we just underestimate how much change costs.

Replacing Google Photos with hard drives? What. And replacing Google Drive with a client-based sync tool...? Maybe too high expectations but I was hoping for some level of similar functionality.

Would be interesting to get advice on how an actual user of the Google ecosystem can do this kind of move. There are a lot of applications to research, e.g. Photoprism for replacing Google Photos. A bit overwhelming to review the options and make feature/setup comparisons, considering how many products I use on a daily basis. But it would be nice indeed, to own the data. If the overhead is manageable.

Techdirt is great. I think the overall perspective is “tech and the law.” I’ve learned a lot from that site.
Rational non-technical business users are exactly the reason we need open source tooling.

What rational person would build the foundation of their business on a closed source, proprietary web development framework? Only the less experienced or less than rational would choose this setup. We have decades of evidence that companies that develop these will inevitably:

1. Not support the use cases your business needs as you grow, despite your pleas.

2. End support for a necessary feature that you need. If you're lucky, you can continue to operate on an older version or a fork. But then you don't get any new functionality going forward.

3. Simply charge you more.

4. Go out of business.

There is a niche in exploiting the naivete of such business owners. That doesn't seem to be the goal of Budibase given that you can always pick up where they leave off in any of the above scenarios.
Although this piece refers to Post Office management a lot I seem to remember that one or more judges have laid blame at Fujitsu's door as well.

In my mind the behaviour of the Post Office was very, very poor but there are people within Fujitsu who had, and have, a much greater understanding of the modes of failure that might have resulted in the discrepancies that were being seen and yet, as I understand it, they went along with Post Office as they trashed people's reputations, livelihoods and threatened their freedom.
That’s beyond the point. I am saying this as somebody with type 1 diabetes who has to poke themself with needles to draw blood daily.

Farming takes up a lot of land. Even the most land-efficient diets in this analysis [0,1] required 0.3+ acres per person -- a larger land area than most suburban houses sit on, even when including the marginal cost of the extra road they require.

This can very much depend on your company 'culture' (for lack of a better word) if you ask me.

Depending on the company you might be in one of a few situations and not in all of them should you blame something else.

For example, this person might have actually put this PR up with a description akin to "I finally did the big xyz refactoring we've all been wanting to do for a long time but never dared. I checked a, b and c and d as well, had Peter from QA do some exploratory tests around the areas we were most afraid of and I _think_ we should be OK. I know it's a huge change set but please take and extra careful look. It _should_ be OK but ya know now I've alerted Murphy". Senior people actually gave it a good look in code review and it was finally merged. Shit happens. This guy totally deserved collaboration, help and not blame. Agreed.

Now second scenario: the guy that's known as 'the cowboy' around the company merged yet another ultimately objectively useless and simply opinionated refactoring that 'should change nothing' and got his buddies to OK the PR without even looking. Lo and behold this refactoring also went up in flames causing a dumpster fire yet again. This guy deserves nothing but to be made to fix this up all by himself. Maybe he will finally learn. If he doesn't it might be a good idea to part ways with him. If the company can't do that and protects him maybe it's time for the good guys to go to a company that deserves them instead.

I put in a pull request for my contribution and they did nothing. It’s good to see projects that are this open to contributions from the community!
r/politics is a huge echo chamber. Occasionally you will see posts with thoughtful disagreement, but usually it’s extremely one sided with the top 100 comments all confirming each other.
> You don't have a right to my time because we disagree. It's not my job to convince you.

Yes, but it is in HN (and HN community) best interest to incentivize you to reply. That's why downvotes are harmful.

The transition from Amazon Linux to Amazon Linux 2 on Elastic Beanstalk was pretty rough. The migration took a full week, and there was really only a six month window where it could be done.
If it is just reorganisation of project files then the fastest way to fix the bug would likely be to just revert the commits.
It was never our primary payment method, but we had higher conversion rates with it. We had Authorize.net at the time, then added PayPal PayFlow and Stripe. I actually authored a payment abstraction library that would try providers in order of priority and fall back gracefully, avoiding double charges and even abstracting over payment status, refunds, etc.
At that point, it’s more time effective for the attackers to disable the management hub or attack any other piece farther up the supply chain. The oil pipeline ransomware shutdown is a perfect example of attack efficiency. I don’t know of a situation where air-gapping already automated farm equipment is the most important next step.

> Then how would you describe the calculus?

Here's the calculus.

When a needle goes into your arm, you know, with a one hundred percent certainty, that you are subjecting yourself to a tiny risk that something will go wrong. You don't know how your body will respond to the vaccine, nor can you know how protective it is going to be in a couple of months. You know that the risk, to the best of our current knowledge (which tends to change bewilderingly fast), is tiny. Yet, there is no denying that it exists. And you know, know with an absolute certainty, that your body is getting exposed to the vaccine. How much this thought scares you, if at all, is a part of the instrument known as informed consent.

What you also know is that if your body gets exposed to the actual virus, there is a much greater chance that something will go very wrong. What you cannot know is whether you will have that encounter with the virus. You also do not know whether you have already been exposed to it and have had it asymptomatically (in theory, it is technically possible to test your immune system, but in practice, no-one is going to do it outside of a clinical trial).

> I'm not sure others should be coerced into having to share space with someone who is willingly unvaccinated from a contagious disease

Pre-2019, we did not mandate that people around us get vaccinated against flu, although we know that flu can result in a lethal pneumonia. Nor did we require people around us to be vaccinated against chickenpox, meningococcus, tuberculosis, etc. Each of those infections can be lethal, so why should we be coerced into sharing space with people who can be contagious?

Thing is, we were not concerned about it, just as you are not concerned about the possible side effects of a vaccine.

The narrative on covid vaccines has been changing over the course of the last several months, which may have given rise to resentment that has nothing to do with politics. The narrative used to be that maybe some happy day we will get the vaccines that will protect our most vulnerable, and then it will be safe to lift the lockdown. Then it celebrated that the vaccines became available to the general public. Good, happy news. Then the narrative shifted to emphasise that vaccines are not perfectly protective, yet still protect people from severe and long covid. That would have been a great place for it to stop, but it keeps shifting further.

Now, if a vaccine protects the vaccinated person against catching the virus (with, say, 60% probability) and against a severe covid (with an over 95% probability), then why do the vaccinated make demands of the unvaccinated? The vaccinated got their extra insurance; why are they still freaking out?

> but now I'm supposed to side with the anti-vax people because why exactly?

No-one asks you to side with the anti-vax people; the only request they can make is to peacefully co-exist.

Is there some reason to expect that covid-19 is different in long term effects than a flu? This study is saying it causes substantial brain damage, right? What possible mechanism is there for this?
Google Fiber AUP[0] allows for hosting of anything for non-commercial purposes. Email is allowed as long as the email sent is not "unsolicited bulk commercial email".

Inflammation?
I don't mean to sound callous here, but I am completely unmoved by the idea that small children are somehow being put at risk. Children under 12 have a 99.995% chance of surviving covid, and the severity of symptoms they experience is similarly miniscule.
I can assure you that is not true. Not enough people used it, but it was not unused.
Why not just use a stainless steel pan?
If people want to use less electricity, they need to have reasonable options to do so in the marketplace without needing a computer engineering degree to figure what sleep states their motherboard supports. That's one purpose of these regulatory mandates: to make the market more transparent and efficient.

Consumers shouldn't have to waste time sorting through products that are broken from day 1 in non-obvious ways.
If you have a paid service that requires guaranteed delivery but want to offset a portion of the cost, it made sense. The problem is that BitTorrent is not trivial to integrate into non-torrent applications.
Yeah people often have been shadow banned years ago, but commenting reasonably constructive things since not knowing almost nobody sees it. It’s sad.
This is concerning, would be interesting to add post vaccination scans (to see if there are any similar effects triggered) and post vaccination post COVID exposure (to see if vaccination is protective)
If your site has less < 5,000 users a month, I can't imagine exceeding Lambda's free tier limit. You definitely want to go serverless if budget's a constraint.
I think If you didn't care about commenting you wouldn't have an account on HN?

I guess if you don't want comments on your blog then a static site would make sense. I tried that route but the lack of engagement kills all motivation to post anything.
That's desperately sad. I'm seeing reports on the BBC about the unvaccinated unlucky ones dying of covid begging for the vaccine and being told it's too late. And there was another report stating over 40% of cases are from Texas, Alabama and Florida, very large proportion are not vaccinated.
I'm not particularly fan of one person coining a term and have everybody agree on that, I think every team should create its own glossary of terms and always compare against different authors that may have gone deeper analyzing a given topic. There are some terminology that makes sense for some contexts and other that simply not. It may make sense for me to call something in a certain way because my team understands and we all have agree on what are we referring to, instead of having someone to tell us how to call things.

I really like this kind of epistemological analysis on tech terms, specially those that we use all the time and that we think we understand, but mainly for going deeper on a topic and analyze.
And here I thought this type of rebus wasn't invented until 20th century advertising campaigns. This horse witnessed the American Revolution.

A simple rule would be only permitting publicly traded companies from being included in an IRA. No private companies. Then, no more 100,000% growth inside of the IRA.
We're probably both just swapping anecdotes, but I suspect you might be surprised just how many general computer users overwhelmingly use their smartphones for nearly everything. I remember years ago being confused by the steady and swift increase in smartphone screen size. Why in the world would people want the little communication gadget in their pocket to be larger? The reason, I realized, is that it's not "the communication gadget in their pocket." It's their only computer.
I read these books to my three year old. Arthur’s nose is only large in the first book (or books, I only have one from that time). As early as the mid 80s Marc Brown changed him into the aardvark we know today.
A hydrogen fuel cell is the highest energy density battery possible. It doesn't how more advanced li-ion or a variant of it gets, hydrogen fuel cells will still have a higher energy density.

Furthermore, by the time you're talking about metal-air batteries you are basically build a fuel cell but with metals. Which is to say you're just building fuel cells that are fundamentally inferior than something that already exist.

We have basically created an inverted worldview. In reality, the li-ion battery is fundamentally inferior to hydrogen fuel cells, and any attempt to advance EV technology will inevitably produce a hydrogen fuel cell powered car.
Preston is unique in that although he probably isn't the biggest obstacle to housing in the super HCOL US cities, he is the only anti-housing politician who makes an attempt to portray himself as pro-housing.

It's not surprising he makes people so upset. He is pretty much the perfect avatar of wrapping yourself up in progressive language and pretending to care - while working behind the scenes to find excuses to veto virtually every new housing project (high-end and low-end) that is proposed in the city.
I have done tre twice. the first time it didn't work the second time it did. the difference: the first time I definitely ate more (in fact a whole day's worth) of calories in my eating window. the second time I just ate a normal meal.

> In downvoting discussions, the top post will represent the consensus of the people engaged in the discussion

I wish I saw more consensus - things that are agreed upon by multiple sides - but in practice I tend to see a tyranny of the majority - whoever can win the upvote vs. downvote contest. The winning side rises to the top, while dissenting voices are silenced.

One sensible thing that I thought HN did but I don't see immediately in the guidelines is to suggest that downvoting isn't supposed to be a "dislike" button but is intended for comments that are spam, trolling, etc..

On HN, the first post to gather a lot of replies also seems to rise to the top.
Boy, I hope somebody was fired for that blunder.
Planar graphics allowed some interesting effects, but Doom’s shortcuts for perspective calculation weren’t compatible.

When VGA came out, it became difficult to see a future for the Amiga - the hardware was just too tied to TV frequencies to match PCs in graphics, just because they didn’t have to be compatible with anything else.
> for inventing female characters fated only for appalling subservience and motherhood.

Motherhood sometimes, but “appalling subservience” is pretty far from my recollection of any of Heinlein’s major female characters.
All this is premised on a housing shortage. Without that housing shortage, there is no long-term positive return on investment.

There is not infinite demand even when housing is a guaranteed positive investment, because there's limited money and capital.

We have let people think that housing is always a positive return investment, instead of a bank account. And to do that, we have limited home building in the in-demand areas.

The actual way this is enforced is by home owners restricting development in their neighborhoods, a trend that is likely to continue.

Read the prospectus' of the private equity investments in residential housing and you'll see they are saying the same thing.
