Cooking without burning things could really spike it. No behaviour change yet.

With the fireplace I will behave in a way that creates less spikes now, just more effort to be less smokey. And to light a fire well is a cool skill you can nerd on. I do want to get a better fireplace.

Somedays it just spikes, I don't know why. Perhaps pollen, I'll work it out one day perhaps.

I bought a Ultrasonic Incense, because I'm a nerd that's kinda techy and fun. Undecided if I like it.

And I always run the filter, wattage is less than a led light, and cost a little (Filters aren't real cheap) but way less than my 'longevity' drugs.

It could be dumb, but I have more info every day.

How Data Labeling Service Fuels Intelligent Fitness in 2021?
Intelligent Fitness Listed Company
Recently, the second intelligent fitness listed company has come into the world. Beachbody, which sponsored by superstars such as James, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Cindy Crawford ,has a successfully IPO not long ago.
In addition to Peloton and Beachbody, as well as Mirror, which was acquired by Lululemon, there are also many smart fitness talents, such as Tonal, Tempo, Hydro, Grit EPIQ, Fightcamp, VAHA, and so on, which attract Sharapova, James, Curry, Tyson and many other sports stars to become partners
Keeping Up with Technology Is Crucial for IT Project Managers
Technology has made life easier for everyone, but how has it transformed the daily tasks of an IT Project Manager?
It really depends what you’re looking for. Tech-forward cars a kinda a mess right now since they’re spending all their money on tech while the interior and ride obviously suffer. Then you have cars with nice rides and interior that barely support CarPlay.

Polestar, for example, has really hard nylon-like seats in their cars but are cramming a bunch of Google tech in it. Say what you will about Google, but it’s time to innovate beyond the infotainment system, and they actually seem to be doing that. Similarly, Teslas have had consistent quality issues and are ridiculously vendor-locked. The Model S drives nice but I haven’t heard great things about the Model 3, as least compared to other cars at its price point.

I’m actually pretty happy with Kia right now, their Niro EV is rather nice and they have a solid warranty on everything. The tech isn’t fascinating and Uvo (their connectivity service) is entirely unimpressive, but their cars seem to strike a good balance between the car and the tech without costing obscene amounts. The EV6 actually looks pretty exciting on both fronts too.
> Re: the strawman argument, I already clearly stated where you misrepresented my argument

And i disagreed that making a comparison from one thing to another is a misrepresentation provided that one accurately describes the initial thing. As far as i can tell you haven't disputed my counterargument as to what the words misrepresent and comparison mean, as of yet. My evidence is the dictionary.
> Re: "existence of some unnamed person somewhere believing a proposition having any bearing on the truth of the proposition"
> You seem to be making things up now, if you make absurd claims, back it up with evidence. Where did I say such a thing?

I'm responding to "From what I understand the vaccine hesitant population includes medical professionals and many well informed people who are simply waiting for more evidence about its safety"

To be fair, you did qualify that with weasel words about medical professional & well informed people. They were unnamed though. I should have used the same qualification. I don't think changing it to be "existence of some unnamed medical professional or person somebody deems to be well informed somewhere believing a proposition having any bearing on the truth of the proposition" has any material impact on my argument.

> The fact that it is an exceptional use authorization is irrelevant. The only thing that matters is that it is approved and has been in use for over a year. That reduces the uncertainty about long-term effects.

Look at those goal posts shift.

> I brought this up is not to virtue-signal as you seem to have misrepresented but rather to inform you about the sources I'm getting my information from.

Yes, indeed, that's why i compared it to the racism context, since that's how that argument is used in that context too - as an appeal to authority that cannot be assailed because the authority is hidden (or potentially made up) making it very difficult to criticize the authority. Maybe its a bit of an obnoxious comparison since its borderline ad hominem to compare to that subject matter. Nonetheless all the reasons that's an unreasonable argument in that context apply here too.

> In any case, I have not heard anything convincing from your end as to why the people who are holding off of getting the vaccine because of the lack of long term safety data are wrong.

Indeed, the primary point i was arguing is that your position is irrational and inconsistent. This has nothing to do with vaccines. I can't actually tell if you are pro or against it, since you seem to be pro adenovirus vaccines, and most covid vaccines other than moderna or pfizer are adenovirus based. Regardless, you'd be wrong if you were pro, you'd be wrong if you were anti, you'd be wrong if we were talking about what type of shoes to wear. The reasons you're wrong for the most part have nothing to do with the subject at hand.
Given the state of Vulkan tooling the contest is already won, NVidia doesn't need to worry about anything.
Why should the government be allowed to incentivize our behavior in the first place?

I’d ask this from a philosophical standpoint here, not really a legal one as this could be applied to other non-US governments as well.

If I want to sit attend and eat cheeseburgers all day and be morbidly obese should the government try and incentivize me to go to therapy and a weight loss clinic?

If I want to follow a religion that is very different from the status quo e.g. Ultra-Orthodox Judaism or the Old Order Amish Mennonite Church and live apart from society should the government be ok with this or instead try to incentivize me to a certain behavior?

Should we use a tax-incentive to encourage having more children or getting the COVID vaccine?

There are lots of unforeseen costs here. I’d say this is not the best idea to incentivize anything. Way too many unintended consequences of tax incentives.
I fail to understand how this is related to the topic of scientific discoveries and the technology underlying it. Yes your personal discoveries might be based on purchasing a PM2.5 meter, but personal discoveries and understanding are not generally related to scientific discoveries or understanding. If you study e.g. quantum mechanics it will not generally advance our (as society) understanding of quantum mechanics. Maybe you will become a great quantum researcher and make discoveries but it will be your discoveries then that advance understanding
even if a proof is well established, porting it to a proof language allows other proofs to build upon it, like importing dependencies in traditional software development. And the bigger the library of proofs gets, the more possibilities there are for things like automating proofs using search/AI. But I think on top of that, it just serves as a cool milestone because I've heard some people say porting all of mathemetics will take decades, so seeing fundamental theorems like this make it in marks great progress.
I hadn't really thought of the legitimate cryptocurrencies that way. The early adopters would explain their large holdings as just being an unavoidable consequence or necessary for them to keep the project alive. But you're probably right that they deliberately set things up to be entrenched powers over everyone.

When I think of it that way, the Proof-of-Stake looks like it benefits mostly the large, early holders. I could be wrong but the current 6.1% return Ethereum gets is a very nice mining profit available to large stake holders. It seems like staking would be most easily done by people who already have large holdings and want to generate income from it. In that sense it's almost kind of feudal and I am wondering if POS was at least partly set up for that purpose.
Yes, Israel reinstated its mask mandate immediately after they saw cases rise a month ago and their own studies indicated the delta variant was impacting vaccine efficacy or even transmitting from vaccinated persons: https://www.timesofisrael.com/israel-to-reinstate-indoor-mas... Much of the data in this CDC slide deck is actually from these Israeli studies.

I will also note Israel has already approved a third dose of mRNA booster shots for 60+ year old people based on the data they have seen with waning efficacy. The CDC as of now currently says boosters are not necessary for Americans "at this time"...
China Cracks Down on Its Tech Giants. Sound Familiar?
I mean it is, it’s not a contagious pathogen.

Unless you think it’s normal that American society has more mass shootings than I can keep track of in recent memory then i’d call it an epidemic.

People walking into churches, schools, concerts, etc… and indiscriminately killing people is a deep sickness in American society.
Unless we are talking about fitted N95 masks, CDC used to say the opposite even about transmission to others: "There is limited evidence for their effectiveness in preventing influenza virus transmission either when worn by the infected person for source control or when worn by uninfected persons to reduce exposure."

https://www.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/5/19-0994_article

> Disposable medical masks (also known as surgical masks) are loose-fitting devices that were designed to be worn by medical personnel to protect accidental contamination of patient wounds, and to protect the wearer against splashes or sprays of bodily fluids (36). There is limited evidence for their effectiveness in preventing influenza virus transmission either when worn by the infected person for source control or when worn by uninfected persons to reduce exposure. Our systematic review found no significant effect of face masks on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza.
Chinese money, I guess.
> which isn’t true in real life consumption

Why not?
A photon has no mass.

Newton's equation specified massive bodies.

Ergo, Newton's equation does not apply to photons.

Einstein's equation does apply to photons.

Ergo, Einstein's equation is not Newton's equation.

For velocities much less than the speed of light, Einstein's equation is well approximated by Newton's equation.
I'm tired of living in this new depressive, sterile world with no emotions. Also masks make it harder to breathe.

And why not say it. The fact the government is forcing me to wear a mask indoors makes me want to get rid of it asap.
Where in Asia is everyone walking around masked unless they’re actively sick? In Tokyo you can always see a few masked people, but that’s totally different than everyone being masked.

> Western real estate is the new gold.

If you think western real estate is nuts, Chinese real estate is even crazier. Those Wenzhou house wives supposedly got started locally moving onto the rest of China and now the western world. It’s probably way more complex than that, however.

> If you had made a few million based on your having positional power in a country where you would be jailed or killed once people found out what you had been doing, you'd get the money out to somewhere your descendants would have safe access to it no matter what happened.

If that hypothesis were true, then Chinese would be fleeing the Chinese real estate market for the west, which isn’t really happening. It’s more of an expansion (if it is actually happening in significant amounts of money at all, which is not proven).
To be fair, I pay 70 dollars for a kindle, and 70.000 for a BMW, so I think it's just BMW not realizing it's not 1960 and people expect better customer service.
Everyone in Japan is currently walking around masked.

People here also walk around with masks during allergy season, or doing flu season even when they’re not sick. In Taiwan and Vietnam I saw (and wore) masks on days when the air was particularly dirty.
Ensuring everyone is adequately housed is not an “expense of unlimited resources” in fact it is cheaper[1] than providing all the piecemeal, deliberately insufficient programs and enforcement schemes they are currently subjected to.

A couple questions for those who might know:

1. Slide 16 mentions India but the details aren't clear. Is this study's focus on breakthrough cases and spreading of Delta based off data in India? I know India was where Delta originated and that it blindsided them because COVID measures that worked well for previous variants did not work anymore - so does that simply mean that the most data on Delta happens to be in India due to the larger cumulative number of Delta cases there? And if so how applicable is that data to the US, given that the type of vaccine administered is different and may have different (reduced) efficacy compared to Pfizer or Moderna, and since other factors (population size, density, healthcare quality, etc) may also be different and influence the data?

2. The graphs on Slides 20-21 are unclear to me. My interpretation is that they have four different scenarios and are using the bottom-left one, which assumes a higher R0 representing the Delta variant, and a lower assumption of natural immunity of 5% - basically the more conservative outlook. The graph itself seems to be indicating a probability of increase in cases, and we presumably want to be below 0.5. The legend shows three colors for universal masking, masking of the unvaccinated, and no masking. But the graph itself has five color bands - are the other color bands just hybrids? So the color between beige and lilac represents some vaccinated people masking and all unvaccinated people masking? And no masking is not an option per this graph even at 100% vaccination, because the probability of cases increasing would be around 80% still? If the natural immunity is higher (the bottom-right graph), then there is no need for universal masking in nearly all levels of vaccination? Am I interpreting all that correctly?

This number doesn't surprise me. I know many people who don't even have a proper desk to work at.
> People are substituting artificial things for the natural things that made us happy in earlier times.

You frame threadmills and soylent (terrible name, though) as gerbils in a cage. That's one way to frame it. But I choose to frame those things as steps towards becoming something more than humans, with humanity taking its destiny in its own hands.

Maybe one day we will have conquered death and live as long as we want to, but until then a small-ish machine that improves my quality of life with me barely noticing is a good first step.

We might be the only animals that eat "for nutrition" instead of "for enjoyment", but we are also the only animals that read.

This is the biggest improvement in my ‘quality of life’ from working from home. I’m still not totally convinced I don’t like working with others around me, but the ability to eat well, integrate exercise and chores into the breaks away from the screen i’d take in the office anyway are priceless.
That’s an oversimplification. For example, how do you expect your home government to know about incomes/dividends/gains that you earned in other countries. And that’s just one example.
Sure, so apparently efficacy matters.

An 80% efficacy may be good enough for you to take the vaccine. But for someone they might be looking for 95% efficacy to make it worthwhile for them.

But in no circumstance, I should be able to dictate that my threshold of efficacy should be good enough for you, and thus you should take it as well, so that my riskier choice will provide better ROI for me...
Ah, interesting. Know when these started?
You wouldn't get this from any other guy.
No, that's inflation slowing down. But its still inflation, because new coins are being created.
Yes, the way I use it is with Svelte. I've created a list of components in Svelte (buttons, links, dropdowns, tables, etc.) I think with how tailwind makes you html look (very full of classes), it is perfectly matched with a component based framework.

That way you get the full tailwind experience without the tedious rewriting of components.
There are some very novel, occasionally brilliant things on HN. This just doesn't happen to be one of them, IMO. Fun at $50, extremely overpriced at nearly $200 considering the competition.

I see this not as a replacement, but as a novice choice. As noted in the documentation, you can use tailwind classes to customize existing components but if you do not want to you can use it like bootstrap. Even for building a quick prototype which can be made to look good in future is a use case for this.
I was wondering about that. I was trying to translate the equivalent of "What the fuck did you just fucking say about me" the other day, and it came out surprisingly wholesome when reverse translated.

These emotions are due to pandemic, yes? The mask is just an apparel - something that is now worn - but hardly the cause these negative emotions? I like the extra privacy a mask gives (introvert!) - but I do understand why some feel them uncomfortable.
A confused meandering no-beef essay, if I ever read one.

Raw isn't really a format unless you are referring to CSI packets or something. It's just the values coming off the sensor. Those values are heavily dependent on the design of the sensor. There are significant non linear characteristics in those values and each camera has hw/sw to account for that sensors characteristics. It is very difficult to make two different sensor models that will provide the same exact value for a scene because they way they capture the scene is electrically and physically different.

All those algorithms the parent is talking about are custom made per sensor generally. The ideas are the same, but they have to be tuned for each sensor and as the parent said, it's incredibly subjective and every company / vendor approaches the problem differently depending on use case.
If they just put the games on any indie storefront and allowed demos, videos, reviews, etc. like any other game, I'd be thrilled to support them. But locking them into a 1-bit $200 gimmick? That's not a good way to get their passion project out. Dwarf Fortress, on the front page these same days... now THAT's a passion project. Arguably X-plane too. Both of which deliver tremendous value for pennies compared to this.
That graphic depicts a surgical face mask, not a cloth face mask. Nice try.
I think at the time when Starcraft 2 was released the company changed significantly.
