Maximizing profit from healthcare and housing development is an undeniable factor in causing this situation.
Personally I'm not a huge fan because of how spaced out the text content is. So many images breaking the flow of thought. Id rather blocks of text and then a gallery of images. But you get what you get. A string of tweets is better than nothing.

I tried a handful of such hacks for likely/unlikely annotations on stable, when working on versions of https://crates.io/crates/reciprocal. They all resulted in correct code, but none of them had any impact on basic block ordering (on rust 1.52, I believe).
Thank you for actually linking this. I hadn’t read parts of it before today and to be honest, like most things, the prepared evidence is more damning than any summary in the media. I strongly feel that Cuomo should be impeached after reading about his behavior.
Similarly, the PSD2 directive in Europe transformed the bank accounts into credit cards. With limited insurance.
I agree with all but the last point: the current DL never had a chance to change anything in Tibet as he was very young when the Chinese invaded, but he was bent on to doing this in spite of opposition[0]:

> In May 1990, as a result of His Holiness’s reforms the Tibetan administration in exile was fully democratized. The Tibetan Cabinet (Kashag), which until then had been appointed by His Holiness, was dissolved along with the Tenth Assembly of the Tibetan People's Deputies (the Tibetan parliament in exile). In the same year, exiled Tibetans living in India and more than 33 other countries elected 46 members to an expanded Eleventh Tibetan Assembly on a one-person one-vote basis. That Assembly then elected the members of a new cabinet.

Why reading this post felt so weird? Like it was written by some AI.
Perhaps it was to save money on sockets.
I did think more about desktops, but I think same applies to laptops. I think that if you tilt the field by not allowing Mac OS (that's the context of the thread) the top PC laptops are better, since you lose many Apple advantages given by integration.

Worse, it would take some time for me to even trust Linux on M1 laptops to not fail exactly when I need it - that's the nature of reverse engineering. Since they don't have the specs, the only real test is lots of people running it for some time and reliability is more important to me than specs.

As for monitors, Apple's colour advantage is more than good calibration - the entire ecosystem can handle 10bit HDR. That's something AFAIK you won't get elsewhere.
How haven’t they been hit with antitrust action over that?

No, it's just saying that most people have other priorities. If you want to make the world a better place, educate more people so that their priorities change towards caring more about the software that runs on their devices, instead of attacking people with weird non-sequiturs.

It feels like a form of discrimination against unhappiness. It reminds me of the book 'Brave New World' - In the book, unhappy people are looked down upon and they see sadness as an illness which needs to be medicated with 'Soma'.
Chronic MIGRAINES – Julia JACOBSON [medical cannabis]
Montel chats with Julia Jacobson, CEO of Aster Farms, on this epsiode of Let’s Be Blunt. Julia suffered from chronic migraines and began using cannabis medicinally in 2016, particularly strains high in CBG, finding immediate relief. Cannabis allowed her to stop taking a cocktail of prescriptions and return to a normal life. Shortly thereafter, her and her husband founded Aster Farms in northern California based on their belief in cannabis as a medicine. Their focus as a company is to curate craft cannabis products, cultivated in an environmentally and community sustainable manner.
Alternatively, you can look at it as

1. We all go a little out of our way to help those who need help (the sick, those the vaccine doesn't work for, those who cannot get the vaccine for other reasons), OR

2. Some people are selfish and only care about their own self gratification, so are unwilling to sacrifice a tiny bit to help everyone else.

I'll take the society with more 1 and push back on 2.

I love SQLite as much as anyone here on HN, but the type system is not its strongest point.

I can declare a column of type POINT and that will work fine. The result will be a column of integer affinity because it contains the string INT. ?!
The figure and message are a bit misleading:

Plummeting down a rank curve conveys that America (and the headline) suggests the country is getting worse in absolute terms. But more Americans are vaccinated now than before, so it is absolutely better than it was before.

Thanks to the rest of the world for also getting vaccinated. When any country surpasses the US current per centage, the US drops a full rank point. But it's not getting less vaccinated, it's not getting worse.
But how do they know they’ve given it enough sensors?

They can be confident sure, but as we all know confidence is the food of the wise man but the liquor of the fool.
Why do you say “australia and New Zealand aside”? Getting vaccinated doesn’t prevent you getting covid… it just prepares your immune system to fight it if you do get it.
So basically, your use case is the extreme variant of the one described in Appel's "Garbage collection can be faster than stack allocation" paper.

In the US at least, I beleive the current legal definition is 500 ft in uncongested areas and 1000 ft elsewhere. Above that is considered "public highway" in federal law.

What does switching to ProtonMail help me when all my contacts are on GMail?
I'm a bit confused by this piece.

A lot of it echoes the book "The Victorian Internet" that digs up historical nuggets from the early days of the telegraph that sound like the birth of the internet. (e.g. people running away and marrying people they fell in love with even though they'd only ever had text/Morse communication with them)

But it seems that they're interpreting "radio" in the modern sense, and so not counting TV, mobile phones, Bluetooth, WiFi, wireless charging etc. which the originators may not have guessed at, but wouldn't have abitrarily placed a boundary on their hopes based on categories not yet invented. Radio, in that bigger sense is a very vital thing, even if it's "normal" to most of us.
I was more focused on the "equivalent or superiour replacement" part.

At this point in history, you can't avoid Apple's ecosystem if you want to use their ARM-based laptops/desktops unless it's a hobby of yours. And it's sad, because this is the best hardware I've ever owned.
I don't think the current system is so much worse. It's just not possible. DL is an actual dictator in a world without news coverage, just imagine.

That's also not just the CCP's argument, it's the same argument for most modern day states that's desposed of monarch.

Self-immolate is an act of religious fervert, it would be out of the ordinary to reason with. Generally, I think most people simply don't kill themselves like that, unless they believe there is something to be gained after death. The same reason for suicidal bombing. For people who are generally not happy or find live unbearable, they wouldn't kill themselves using those kinds of excruciating and painful methods, unless of course, they were trying to achieve something, which are most likely religious or it just doesn't make sense.
Agree. I’ve got all social media blocked at the firewall. Posts like this are lost to me.
The javascript spec requires a setinterval to block... Thats as intended.

What isn't intended is that all kinds of management messages that involve the renderer will block, like for example closing the tab, printing the page, spellchecking, adding to bookmarks, etc...

A few of those things Chrome works around with a nested event loop that only handles certain types of events, but it's very fragile and a big maintenance burden, so they want to get rid of it.
Do you have some hard data about this? I tried to find some statists but I failed. It's common to remember more about news in your country and have an inaccurate counting.

I'm from Argentina, most of the death by lighting that I remember are during soccer matches. When it's rainy most people take cover unless there is a good reason, and here a "good reason" means soccer. https://www.google.com/search?q=lightning+soccer+match&rlz=1...

Also, it's common that it strikes a few players, and press gives more coverage to multiple deaths. And it's common that someone is filming or can take photos just after the lightning, that is good for the press coverage. And people like soccer. My guess is that isolated death in the middle of nowhere are underreported in the press.

Back to your question... My idea is that Bangladesh is a very rainy place. Does people continue with the weeding party even if it's a little rainy? Are parties outdoor common? The article blame the deforestation that removed many high trees. Do houses have usually lightning rods?
Here's a useful slide deck from ORNL (2017):

https://gain.inl.gov/SiteAssets/MoltenSaltReactor/Module2-Ov...

Note page 23! Almost all the 137Cs ends up outside of the core, due to sparging of precursors. "Over 40% of [fission products] leave core"

Lots of other issues, particularly with radiation damage and corrosion of reactor structural elements. Unlike in a solid fuel reactor, there is fission going on right at the boundary of the salt. In a LWR, there is a layer of water between the fuel and the reactor structure to provide shielding. There will be non-fuel components of a MSR that are not lifetime components, but will have to be swapped out due to degradation. Some MSR designs are proposing to just swap out the entire reactor vessel because of this.
Hey, I'm an adult and I managed to accidentally purchase Mary bloody Poppins via the Amazon Prime phone app.

You are painting people in big strokes. The people I know that fear long term effects wear mask religiously and follow safety procedures.

These are also the same people that won't get a flu vaccine, and resist getting the vaccines for all but the most deadly of diseases.

Another comment in this submission mentioned being bad at evaluating risk, perhaps that's what it is. They fixate on the unknowns of a vaccine, but they aren't able to compare it effectively to the risks of the virus.
There's a big difference between replicating how something looks or works and replicating how something actually feels to use. Granted, elementaryOS is a more mature project with more people behind it but the attention to all those little details is what makes it feel nice to a user.

My point is that helloSystem and/or Airyx are going to need that same level of design attention if it's ever going to feel like an adequate substitute. That tends to be where most open source desktops miss the mark today — they feel like they were designed by developers, not people who understand what makes up a good user interface.

You are just regretting the fact Tibet is no longer a large anthropology zoo that westerners can freely visit and observe, like the romance recorded by Ernst Schäfer or James Hilton in the 30s. It's mystic, primitive and slavery culture destroyed by CCP while locals are adopting welfare and education and modernizing to yet another indifferentiable boring place like an average Chinese town.

That's quite incredible to learn, so many French (or Belgian/French-Canadian) names contain hyphens. I find it amazing that this wouldn't be taken into account worldwide; who hasn't heard of Jean-Claude Van Damme for instance?
It’s not just that it’s easy… it’s also how much they give you per can or bottle (up to 25 cents)… it’s quite a significant amount, so you end up saving the bottles and taking them to the supermarket to get the refund.
Ok. I can say this since I don't have anything to hide (edit: 1. that I am aware of and 2. yet).

I switched to the Apple ecosystem 2 years ago and have been extremely happy.

I couldn't see a single reason to switch back.

Today that reason came. What goes on on my phone is my business.

I guess fairphone next.

Again, I think have nothing to hide now so I can sat this loud and clear now. Given what recent elections have shown us we cannot know if I have something to hide in a few years (political, religious? Something else? Not that I plan to change but things have already changed extremely much since I was a kid 30 years ago.)
>He was 18 when he was legally allowed to buy bitcoin for the first time.

What, I’m pretty sure anyone of any age in the us can legally buy Bitcoin. That definitely was the case a few years ago when I was vaguely into cryptocurrencies. They link coinbase rules but you can buy cryptocurrency from anywhere, not just coinbase.
I really like this line of reasoning. The aspect of it that plays into a question I have is if we get immunity from both the vaccine and the virus - what is the total percentage of population that has had both? Also lots of fear about the variants - seems vaccinated or infected - the new virus can infect… I’m really curious to know whether an updated vaccine is in the works- not just a booster of the same vaccine ?
Eh, are you allowed to just change code without opening a ticket? Every job I worked at every commit had to be against a ticket.
If done without any prompt it also seems like it is illegal. How can you enter someone into a purchase agreement without their knowledge. Even if they refunded it, that is a seriously dodgy thing to try and do.

Also consider that by the numbers, most of academia wasn't even born native English speaking, whether they now live in an English speaking country or not.

A personal note, I'm a native english speaker living abroad, with a non-native-english speaking superiors. While their writing is quite good, i find myself battling constantly for what we might consider 'better, more clear' writing, in favor of the current scientific writing 'trends' in our field.

A successful paper or two with a weird phrase or typo will end up reshaping that field to adopt this language, as authors of subsequent work attempt to align themselves to the original topic.
Basically any Markdown can be used to describe educational content. Courses can be stored/hosted everywhere github or dropbox, or even IPFS and Hyper (via the Beaker-browser). The only thing you have to provide is the URL to your main README.md as an URL-Parameter:

https://liascript.github.io/course/?https://raw.githubuserco...

That's basically it. Anyone can create courses and share them her/his audience. No back-end, just a simple WebApp that can also store courses permanently, within the browser ...

Extensions to common-Markdown are:

* Multimedia Extensions: ?[audio](url), !?[video](url), ??[anything](url)

* Text2Speech and Animations to provide a YouTube-like screen-cast feeling

* Quizzes, surveys ...

* Code-Blocks can be made executable and editable

* Automated visualization of data provided within tables

* Embrace the <script> tag

* Extendable with macros and a simple packaging format

* ASCII-Art and more ...

The idea behind this project is, to have a simple language for educational content, which allows anyone to participate in the creation of educational content, by getting away from complex user-interfaces, platforms, vendor-locks, etc.
This is so cool. My dad planted a giant Redwood here in Canada on Vancouver Island about 24 years ago when he built his house. People don’t believe me when I say the circumference of the base of the tree measures over 5 feet but is only that old. His house is along side a river with beautiful dark, nutrient rich top soil and things seem to grow well in his yard. I wish I new the best way to share a photo here later once it gets light out.
This is highly dependent on your location.

From what I've been told, in the UK, shelters won't let you adopt a cat unless you agree that it will be allowed outside.

In the US, many/most shelters won't let you adopt a cat unless you agree that it will NOT be allowed outside.

Part of this is likely due to more cars being driven at higher speeds by inattentive people in the States (that's the main reason I don't let my cats out, I have seen way too much roadkill in my life and it sucks every time, those deaths are not always quick). Some other reasons not to let them out would be increased chance of disease, unwanted interactions with neighbors and the needless decimation of local wildlife.
"Privileged lamas"... Seems like they are not so privileged after all.

> My point is that they are able to switch due to the openness of the platform.

And my point is that most won't, and the ones that do will still go to another platform that's controlled by another third party and they'll still need to rust that the platform is not doing things they don't like.

> Millions will immediately switch given a possibility.

Switch to where? To another company that could do weird things out of the eyes of the users? Do you think all of those millions are going to run their self-hosted Facebook?

My point is that privacy and security is not something that will be solved by federation or open source. For open source and federation to be useful in that regard, you need most people to actively research and check that the tools that they use are private and secure. If they don't, they're just trusting someone the same way they trust Facebook now. And most people (that includes most people here on HN) don't have both the time and knowledge to do those checks.

In other words, this is a collective issue. Trying to solve collective issues by individual choices is not the best path.
I don't understand what you're saying. Logarithmic, exponential, it doesn't matter what shape the curve is or how fast you get there - all "growth" we care about is ultimately backed by expenditure of physical resources, which are clearly limited. If you redefine "the economy" in such a way that it's not limited, you also break its connection to the real world.

Honestly, all this talk about money is distracting from the core issue, which is that we are unsustainably increasing our consumption of limited resources.

>it makes the (often reasonable) "their bodies, their choice" argument harder.

This argument is in no way reasonable when talking about a contagious disease. It's not about your body, it's about society. They steadfastly believe they don't owe anything to society, whether it's getting a vaccine or wearing a mask.
The stickler: attention bias.

The more time you spend thinking about a possible negative outcome, the more likely your intuition will believe that negative outcome to be. This affects everybody, even people who ought to know better, like scientists. It's a shockingly strong effect, too.

If you don't couch your logical discourse inside a procedure that translates its outcome directly into action (like an approval process), attention bias is almost guaranteed to override the outcome, no matter how good your reasoning. Since better reasoning takes more time, this leads to the unfortunate circumstance where better, deeper arguments are less likely to be effective that shorter, weaker arguments.
