I followed your link [1] and read the entire page multiple times and I can find no content which supports "recommending that the cycle count be lowered for vaccinated individuals".

> I wonder how many customers can realistically hide behind a single IPv4 (CGNAT), given that there are 65535 TCP/UDP ports.

In theory, one IPv4 address can maintain 65535 connections with every HTTPS server (TCP port 443) on the Internet simultaneously. The main cause of port depletion would be when lots of users connect to the same server.

A reasonable number is 1000 users with 64 ports each, but you could probably squeeze in another 10X.
Oh jesus christ, "green roofs"? "Bee bricks" ?? This is ridiculous turd-polishing. The problem isn't that we haven't made our buildings more freaky, it's that we've destroyed natural ecosystems. So restore the natural ecosystems.

Have less buildings. Leave more undeveloped land. Reintroduce predators. Remove invasive species. Allow nature to take over (it will). And news flash: hedgehogs and bees are only being saved because humans think they're cute. What we actually need more of are creepy crawly insects, weeds, grasslands, bushes, forests, wetlands. You know, that "undeveloped" land that was here before we bulldozed it all and installed strip-malls on top.
My thinking is he was unreachable for 8 years, house burned down (for whatever reason) and became a dangerous eyesore, so they took it down.

The islanders faced with his reappearance decided not to incriminate anyone and keep quiet.

The only question I have is how did it burn down? I imagine it was in quite a state of disrepair after almost a decade of low to no maintenance. Part of it may have been falling down already and the islanders may have assumed he'd simply abandoned his house and the island.

Awhile back there was an article on the front page of HN which seemed to support the lab leak hypothesis. This was before that hypothesis gained traction. I checked back shortly thereafter and it was gone. I went through the history (scrolled through pages) and couldn't find it.

Maybe it was a BS / questionable article. I don't know. But it seems we were eager to squash that line of thinking early on, whereas now it's at least debatable.

This is why I'm suspicious of moderation.
The 'stolen laptop' attack vector, as well as 'evil maid' attacks are my general security nightmare in professional environments.

unfortunately, if you drop utilitarianism (or generally, any sort of philosophy like consequentialism) you run the risk of making decisions that could lead to massive pain and suffering to be "morally correct".

Nearly all modern philosophy is a combination of moral ethics (of which few people can agree on even what morals are right) and consequentialism (make decisions based on what the expected outcome will be) based on wise choices.

The irony is, the avoidance of the problem is a causative factor of the problem. Everyone here, including me, contributes to global warming and we "avoid" the problem by continuing to contribute.
This article has factual inaccuracies in it.

It says: "Blackbird is unique because it can move directly downwind faster than the wind itself for a sustained period. Any sailor worth their salt can tell you that a boat can do that by cutting zigzag patterns; that's called tacking. But the idea that a vehicle can beat the breeze traveling straight downwind, no tacking involved, is controversial."

Sailboats travel _upwind_ by tacking, not downwind and measured by forward progress it's significantly slower than the wind speed because the extra distance travelled.

Sailboats can travel directly downwind however because hull speed is a thing, only crazy racing boats with hydrofoils so much as approach a significant fraction of wind speed.
Vaccination has, sadly, become a partisan issue in the United States.

We can't pretend that a reasonable appeal to public safety will work to convince people of the merits here, when there are so many politicians and entertainers who are successfully using opposition to the vaccine as a wedge issue to further their own selfish agendas.
We are not talking about vaccines other than covid. Do you think those who question vaccines are very different group of people than those who question masks and are using different methodologies to do so?
That was meant to be my point, the down vote makes me think I didn’t make it clearly enough…
No, I'm referring to generic geopolitical rivalry plus cover for mismanagement of the crisis domestically.

If we can make it all China's fault, that's a win for us. Facts, evidence or lack thereof aren't material compared to interests and arguments.

Wow, even knowing there would be someone in danger, I didn't spot until, at best, the lifeguard jumped in and usually a little after that. And they didn't know something bad was about to happen, and had to be scanning the entire pool constantly. I should have had a few seconds of advantage on that at least.

I think I would be terrified to have a job like that... 99.99% of the time everything is fine, which would make it hard to maintain constant vigilance when you might go multiple days without an incident. while needing to be prepared for that extremely small window of crisis.

Talk about assuming the worst about people! Let me present an alternate theory: The "blue tribe" is surprised by a "red tribe" reaction more than the "red tribe" is surprised by the "blue tribe".

I read about a study in the lead up to the 2016 election. Conservatives were asked to voice liberal opinions and vice versa. The conservatives were able to voice opposing viewpoints significantly better than those who leaned left wing.

This blog came up while searching for a source on that research and has some other information you might find useful. I can relate to the author's feeling of frustration very well! [0]

There are not many comparable cases, where the selfish behavior gives a very measurable reinvigoration to a global pandemic for which the longer it persists the greater the risk that it will spawn a variant that puts us back to step 1 - or worse.

Flametanks are faster than infantry in Command and Conquer. IIRC, Riflemen and Flametanks have roughly the same range as well.

Flametanks have pretty much every advantage over riflemen:

* Cost in terms of combat efficiency: one flametank can take out multiple dozens of riflemen.

* Flametanks have more speed.

* Flametanks require less micro / APM. To keep riflemen alive vs Flametanks, you need to constantly micro-them outside of the Flametank's movement (by default, riflemen sit still and shoot their rifles. As the flametank approaches, they get run over and instant-killed before the flametank even fires a shot).

APM-advantage, Movement advantage, cost-efficiency, DPS, armor. Everything. Everything about the Flame Tank beats Riflemen on every aspect you can possibly imagine.

Politics emerge from human behavior. At the base it's human nature. We as a species are not good at taking action to mitigate risks that aren't immediate. We had plenty of warning - the idea was beginning to emerge even back in the 50s and certainly by the 70s our leaders were quite aware.
You can do real damage even without this level of sophistication or physical access: my state's largest hospital system had a month-long computer outage because of a ransomware attack. It was traced back to an employee opening a malicious email attachment on a hospital-owned laptop while they were on vacation.

It brought down the medical records systems and cost the hospital between $40 million and $50 million (mostly in lost revenue because they basically had to cancel non-emergency visits and procedures across multiple locations for a month). Quite an expensive email!

Even in SC2, click-speed is not a significant determinant of winning or losing for anyone below Diamond. It's simply not an issue for the vast majority of the player base (75% of players are Platinum league or below) so I don't know why so many people have fixated on that as the thing to blame problems on. It's like saying "basketball revolves around dunking" even though dunks are basically not an element of the game for anyone playing below the professional level.

Insofar as there are barriers to entry to the game at lower leagues, the challenge is more the mental challenge of keeping track of a bunch of different variables and keeping up with the multi-tasking. It's not nearly as execution dependent, at that level, as most fighting games or even a Soulsborne. It's a mental acuity and habit-formation challenge rather than a dexterity one. Better players will have more actions per minute (assuming they're not spamming), but it will be because they're making decisions more quickly, not because they have concert pianist fingers. I got up to Gold league playing mostly with a trackpad. I know someone who got to Diamond on a trackpad as well.

There's lots of problems with SC2's design, but they mostly center around a poor onboarding experience, doing a bad job of communicating the ripple effects of early decisions, a surfeit of high-lethality units that settle battles or games in a second, and the availability of multiple "cheese" strategies for each faction that are much much easier to execute than they are to defend against. But those are all addressable within the broader framework of a Blizzard-style RTS with better unit design, UI/UX, and tutorial or single player game modes.
Generally speaking, ecosystems should be managed for ‘focal’ species, those with the largest requirements and pivotal role. In this case, deers natural predators. a re-introduction or deer culling may be paired with this approach.

Even in the cases where it absolutely makes sense to distance/time shift some of the grid's output to hydrogen to ship it physically somewhere (such as a festival in the woods, perhaps, that today would rely on diesel generators for power), it's still going to be way more efficient to use a bank of larger than would fit in a car fuel cells in a shipping container creating a "mini-grid" of electricity that things like battery electric cars and other appliances could plug into than to have cars carry around fuel cells "just in case" of events like that.
Yeah that’s been constant. There was ‘no evidence that delta variant is more dangerous’ for white a while, until there was actually some evidence to go on.

so you're telling me for the past 1.5 years, ppl haven't been using science?
I'm always a little confused by these suggestions because what I've heard from the researchers, directly, seems a bit different (or rather their list is more inclusive). I had the opportunity to work at some DOE labs and while there attended a lot of climate talks. One thing they always mention is carbon sequestration. It seems a lot of groups like Green Peace and Sierra Nevada are against CCS that isn't biological, where the researchers tend to be of the position "we're so fucked that even planting as many trees as we can AND building CCS systems isn't enough". So I find it weird that point #3 here is purely an environmental one. And at these talks there's always some intern that asks about nuclear, and there's almost always the same blunt answer "that'd be great and help, but it is never going to happen" (note DOE labs also research nuclear reactors and weapons, so some of these people work on reactors). There's more that they suggest, but going to these talks can often be depressing because it's not just the political will. We don't even have the technology (which in part is due to political will. Damn coupled equations).

What I learned from them is "don't take anything off the table, we're that fucked." And so whenever I read articles like this I always question why they leave things off the table and do not mention that we currently do not have the technological means to solve the issue. They tend to focus on electricity production and vehicle emissions, but also things like heating/cooling (which creates a feedback loop because adapting to climate change we need more of these technologies).

If you do ever get the chance to attend talks like these I do highly suggest going to them and asking a lot of questions. Climate researchers tend to be extremely passionate and will talk your ears off (in a good way).
I understood the key word was "proprietary" in the comment you refer to, with the side effect of also "making lots of money". I might have misunderstood.
This is a bit disturbing to read as someone who had perceptual distortions in my late teens. I always attributed it to HPPD after using LSD around 15 years old. Now I'm not so sure.

In my experience flagged comments are typically off topic or abusive. I don't recall ever seeing a flagged comment that was an honest attempt at discussion. As for grayed comments that are an honest attempt at discussion? Very common. I upvote heavily downvoted comments that didn't deserve it almost daily here. I've also been the victim of massive downvoting merely because I present a viewpoint that the hive-mind doesn't like. If you're only interested in a single viewpoint and don't want to see all sides to a topic, then sure, this system is great. I like seeing more viewpoints and perspectives.
That is an exaggeration. Computers sleeping with 11.5w of power draw are banned (100kw/y depending on configuration), not 100w. That is more or less pushing a high end graphics card for 20 minutes. So a drop in the bucket for a workstation or gaming pc.

But regardless I agree these regulations are a good thing. These computers should be shipped in a low power configuration.
Sorry, but I once moved over 8000km away from the office. Some tinkering with lego to have a robot with an ipod touch and a permanent facetime feed is close to be the same. I could 'walk around' and talk to ppl as much as I wanted.

In the end, the whole walking around was a gimmick and 99.9999% of the time it was not used. But yeah, while you cannot smell your coworkers, you can have the same convo's etc. Just have everyone when they start working enter the video chat.

It's not the same if you make it not the same.

No we don't, and no they don't. If you engage with ideas you don't like and debate them in good faith, and the promoters of said ideas keep just pumping them out (perhaps even using botnets or whatever) while ignoring all your good-faith attempts to refute them, then you are wasting your time.

At some point you have to cut your losses; you stay open to persuasion by people who consistently exploit your willingness to listen, you're being played. Downvotes do serve the excellent purpose of saying 'I disagree with this and am not willing to waste further time on it.'

Downvotes can also be abused. But an easy way to get around that is to make the system fully transparent and then do cluster analysis. If a downvoter or group thereof only ever puts out negative votes or habitually downvotes everything fromeone they don't like, that will show up after a while and people can weight away those negative opinions. Absent transparency, then the incentives to game the system go way up, and system operators usually wildly overestimate their own ability to guard against that.
Giving you a dual stack IPv4/6 address (with IPv4 often NATed) is one of the thinks the German ISPs do well.

But for many other thinks there are to often to many problems including bad availability of speeds about 50Mb/10Mb and they still selling you faster speeds which technically can't be delivered.

And for many areas of Germany it boils down to:

- If you live in a city and only go for 50Mb it's often ok (but even in cities there tend to be areas with faulty installations causing problems for the citizens in that area for years, e.g. my sister and a co-worker of mine had/have that problem).

- If you live in the metro area but not in the city it's spotty sometimes going with LTE is better, sometimes it's not, sometimes you should by both to make sure at least one of them works (my former co-worker had that problem).

- If you live outside the metro area it's random either you get reliable reasonable fast internet if you buy from the right provider or you get less then 1Mb no matter what provider you choose (multiple of my friends had/have that problem).

This is a slow-moving population explosion with its impact only fully realized when global quality of life normalizes, not when population growth slows, stops, or even reverses.

China is now emitting over double the CO2 of USA. It's no coincidence that China has over a billion people who in large part relatively recently came out of the dirt and started living first-world lifestyles.

India is next in line to repeat China's pattern, another billion.

Americans trying to fix the climate disaster at this point is comically futile, unless you're considering the war path to prevent literally a billion+ more people from joining the first-world. You're simply not in the driver's seat.
