EB is neat when it works, but it’s only as good as it’s weakest link. I constantly get environments stuck in unavailable statuses etc. I don’t recommend it for anyone except maybe that R&D stuff. Much better to go ECS/Fargate/EKS IMHO.
VAERS is not, by any means, verified side effects or deaths of the vaccine. It's first-line, unverified reports.

This is also not a vaccine trial, there are far more people who have been vaccinated than would be in any trial, by orders of magnitude.
I've participated in a walkout as well, and while I very strongly agree with your overall criticism about the inefficacy of walk outs and the reduction of the American "left" what I feel is essentially a life style brand. When I did the walk I did it for one reason and it was for other people.

I don't want to give away personal info on this account, but the issue was related to treatment of minorities. At this company I was in a management position in a technical role which put me above the vast majority of employees in both pay and autonomy.

I decided to do the walk out because I'm sure there were people who worked at this company who did not feel comfortable expressing their views publicly because they made just enough to get by and couldn't get a new job in two weeks if they wanted.

I want these people to see that there was someone in a management role that at least gives enough of a shit to visibly make their unhappiness with the decisions and actions of senior management known.

Maybe it's a meaningless gesture politically, it certainly didn't change anything at the company, but for me it was like lighting a candle and placing in with others in honor of someone who has passed. It won't change anything but it helps those who are struggling and grieving feel a bit less isolated. Its nothing to be proud of, it doesn't change the world, but for me it was better than sitting at my desk for a few hours completing ignoring a problem that didn't personally impact me.
I left spiritual practice due to its hollow nature. These masters provide endless insight into the nature of the problem, but when it comes to actually helping to cure the ailment they always seem to fall short. Bypassing is just a result of a practitioner putting all of this effort into spiritual practice and having nothing to show for it. Given the sunken cost they detach from reality and try to present a brave face. The only thing that works is dealing with the problem at the root. Face the pain yourself and stop looking for quick fixes or someone in black robes/turtle neck to solve your problems.

> so the capitalists have no where to run.

Curious what definition of capitalist you are using here.

Three common meanings according to the Oxford dictionary are:

1. a person who invests capital in business enterprises.

2. an advocate of capitalism.

3. a very wealthy person.

You can advocate capitalism and also support behavioral standards and worker rights in the workplace. It's not anti-capitalist to disagree with your employer's policies or culture, standing up for you and your fellow workers' bottom line can be capitalistic in of itself.

If there's a market for services to help individuals assert their rights and fight for better conditions, then investing in this market is as fundamentally capitalistic as investing in a market that services the opposite.

As a capitalist, you could even invest in both these markets at the same time. Check out this index fund:

https://www.invesco.com/us/financial-products/mutual-funds/q...

There's Altria (cigarettes) and Anthem (health insurance). Tesla (EVs) and Exxon (gasoline/petroleum). Even Activision (corporation of topic) and Stryker (actually no idea what this company does, so assuming they fund and profit off worker strykes). The thing about capitalism is that it doesn't run from conflict or mobs or regulation, it profits off the needs and desires these things create.

I would be fairly certain that DDG isn't itself tracking users in a manner that they can use that ranking approach. They don't need to.

If you do a search for the same terms in DDG vs Bing, you'll find that the results are very similar. DDG lets Microsoft do the dirty work of abusively tracking users to max out on ranking factors, and then DDG reaps the benefit. DDG doesn't need to get its hands dirty, because someone else is doing so much of that for them.

By leaning so heavily on Bing, DDG is a blood diamond merchant of privacy. They might not own the mines or directly command the labor, however they're quite happy to buy the blood diamonds to further their own profit afterward. And DDG's users go along with the scheme, because buying into the con helps them sleep better at night. It works like this mentally: those users over there (at Bing) are having their human right to privacy violated, I know it's going on, and I directly benefit from the search data training as I use DDG, but hey at least it's not me being abused, so I can do my virtue signal dance and sleep well at night comfortable in my compartmentalization.
My first thought was that can't be right, but the only noteworthy thing was overwatch in 2016.

I had this a few times when I was really young, probably around 7 yrs old or so. Super bizarre perception distortions, it was really scary. The bed and my legs would stretch out really far, my fingers would become cartoonishly huge and swollen or tiny. But the worst part by far was the distortion of time, my experience could move in fast-forward, like 10x speed.

I think around after puberty these things stopped happening. The developing brains of children can be so wild. I think it's a temporary form of synesthesia that happens as your synapses are developing and pruning.
Of the places with great wages in this country, Seattle has probably the most clued-in people and governance. They are changing their development patterns to allow for more urban living, enabling great public transit to further cut down on emissions, and are making the most progress.

The people I know that are living there are frustrated with bad governance too, but they feel a lot better when they see what's going on in California.

I'd love for a California city to be as forward thinking and reality-based as Seattle, making policy primarily o enable the good of all instead of transferring wealth from those with less to those that own land.

Seattle and Jersey City are great. The Squamish Nation in Vancouver is also doing AMAZING governance, they should just return all Vancouver government to Squamish Nation, IMHO. That is a land-back movement that would greatly increase human happiness.
Irrational exuberance for the vaccine drives some people to doubt.

The vaccine is a very reasonable thing to get but that doesn’t mean everyone in favor of it is behaving or thinking rationally.

When you have people turning something reasonable into a quasi religious moral obligation it is going to attract opposition, behaving irrationally is harmful even for something which is a good idea.

> “…there seems to be no discernible correlation between minimum wage increases and a rise in business failures, either in the year the increase occurred or in the following year. If anything, the evidence leans the other way”

Yes but this actually supports my argument; An increase of the minimum wage solidifies incumbent businesses. This occurs because increasing the min wage is the same as increasing a barrier to entry. Sure, the incumbents won’t fail, but you are effectively making it more difficult for new participants to start. Business failures won’t increase and neither will the rate of new businesses.

> “In general, businesses will pay the least they can get away with, no matter how many there are.”

Yes this is true. But employees will compete for employers that pay higher and a community with more businesses will have a larger pie to eat from because there is more overall value created.

This isn't something to ignore, but rice and potatoes (the target crops for these edits) are grown as staple calorie sources, not really for their vitamin / mineral content.

It would be cool to combine this with golden rice and get truly nutritious cereal grains, but the main goal is to reduce hunger, and get micronutrients to populations in more efficient ways.
> appreciated anyone who could teach the main points without slipping into formal textbook descriptions and terminology

This is why I can't impart knowledge at all. I get too technical. When I'm in a mentorship position, I need to be pair programming, and I need to be hands off the keyboard. Getting me to explain anything is a fruitless exercise.

And that's fine: not everyone has to be destined to be a teacher. It is important to know that you are not (if you are not), and to thoroughly appreciate those who are.

> Their sense of smell and taste is still completely fried with no sign of recovery.

This is exceptionally rare. The vast majority of people who develop anosmia regain their smell and taste. And yes, it does happen with other viruses.

> Maybe that can happen with a bad flu sometimes, but it seems way more common with covid.

The danger here is the distance between what it "seems" like, and what it actually is. If you're basing your judgment on media reports, you have to understand that you're not getting a balanced picture. The news media dwells on the most exceptional examples, and neglects the (many more) examples of people who have no serious side effects at all.

> It seems like there's some nerve damage resulting from the virus that we don't yet fully understand.

The current best evidence is that the loss of smell is not nerve damage, but infection of the epithelial cells surrounding the nerves in the nose.
There’s no good faith in limiting housing - it’s completely untenable. We have to let our cities grow upward as quickly as possible; letting people live in high density reduces energy use, carbon, even birthrate.

Every opposition to building more housing pretends it’s special. Every opposition to building more housing puts people on the street and accelerates climate change.

> Making a claim that matches centuries of experience carries virtually no burden of proof. It's not remotely a "spurious" claim.

Huh? There are centuries of experience that natural COVID-19 immunity is as consistently effective as one of the current crop of US-approved vaccines?
Sadly, it is intentionally confusing, hence the double-speak.

The truth is that there's no such thing as conjuring up affordable housing in expensive cities at-will. Expensive housing will be built and subsidized so that it is affordable for some, but not others.

- or -

Expensive (market rate) housing will be built unsubsidized and it will compete with all other housing stock. If there is little competition, the price will not be affordable, because why would it without competition. Once there's enough housing supply, then new housing stock will be competing with existing housing, and put downward pressure on prices.

A third element at play here is that wealthier residents are able to afford housing regardless of price, so the key question existing residents must ask is: Do you want them to compete with you on a likely rent-controlled unit, or do you want them to take a look at the fancy new apartment with all the expensive amenities, and isn't rent controlled. Remember that all housing stock was once new and more expensive before it became affordable to everyone else. This isn't a comment for or against rent control but it is a factor that must be considered.

Blocking new housing unless it's "affordable" is just NIMBYism with better optics.
Sounds like you need to be more picky, to get the jobs that genuinely require that level of engineering. I’d find it hollow to add all that complexity when not needed.

Or maybe this is just where progressive politics leads to?

San Francisco really has no excuses. It’s been a solidly Democrat city for the past 40+ years. Voters are overwhelmingly left of center and typically vote for a selection of left of center candidates.

There is no Republican representation in the whole city govt. The possibilities for passing progressive legislation are endless, yet what we end up with is a massively dysfunctional govt with a heavy dose of corruption.
I always called it “performative progressive” politics.

Yes! Rent control turns renters into NIMBYs.
Neither the rice nor the potatoes showed changes in their starch, protein, total carbohydrate, or vitamin C content.

"Mineral density" and "micronutrients" are not the primary criteria by which we judge the quality of staple crops. There is no particular reason to suspect that your reasoning by analogy from CO2 to demethylation enzymes is valid.

Yeah, I experienced this same spam domain for some searches I did yesterday. It's everywhere.
I'm specifically thinking of the CanadaPolitics subreddit which is solidly centre-left, where this happens consistently. Ditto the Ontario subreddit. General issues subs with centre-left politics that shift hard when a subject that was fixated on by an interest group popped up.

Likewise, threads on covid policy were generally supportive of the scientific consensus... Until the subject of keeping gyms closed comes up, where the bro-science faithful would appear to declare all covid restrictions a crime against humanity.

It's not astriturfing or anything malicious, just the natural result of a subject being a disproportionate interest to a highly motivated subset of the community.
Ask HN: Alternatives to “The Morning Paper”?

But now that "The Morning Paper" (a mailing list run by acolyer) was put on ice, I am searching for an alternative. Do you have any recommendations for alternative mailing lists, blogs etc. which keep one up-to-date with CS from different subfields in a condensed manner?"
Not sure why this is downvoted. Politics has been de-economized and the economy has been de-politicized. Not surprising given how dangerous this sort of organization is to the big corporations. Better to have people fight over gender politics than better working conditions and compensation.

Speaking out against a company while not unionized means you'll have your coworkers sympathy, if nothing else. Do the same against a union in the US and you can forget having even that.

> I don't see how regulating the supply of housing is conservative.

In the article, it's not blanket regulation - it's increasing-the-housing-supply regulation.

Increasing the supply lowers prices which means individual's property value goes down - very anti-conservative.

An oversimplification of conservative values is to keep the status quo or increase the current value. Do nothing to lower that value.
Directly after the quote you mentioned:

- 33 are under investigation

You contradict yourself. You raise the question of why those who are there need to suffer a change of lifestyle, then you tell someone who lives there that they should simply leave and move somewhere else.

And unfortunately in order to have cheap market rate housing, you need to have built a ton of luxury housing a few decades ago. Today’s luxury flats are tomorrow’s aging affordable units, even if SF fixed it’s zoning rules it will take a while before housing prices stabilize.
How a Computer Works (1962)
I’m not sure I understand. I recently saved and strategized and worked hard to buy a not-cheap house in Seattle. Who said I was entitled to specifically what I worked hard to get? I’m very fortunate to have what I want, and by no means is it my right to be exactly where I am in the structure that I want.
If you look at the polling data for blocking apartment buildings or new housing, it cross-cuts parties fairly well, but conservatives are a bit more likely to oppose more housing than liberals. A slightly bigger difference than the liberal/conservative opinion spilt it that split between people who live in detached houses versus apartments/condos/townhouses. Those who live in detached housing oppose housing more vigorously.

Political ideology, about markets or reducing racial equality, are overridden by the housing preferences.
