Yes, that's what I thought too. The only wrinkle was the logistical problem of where to park it.
But we were clapping! :/
Illness and death-related excuses work pretty well, too.
I recently watched a short mini-doc about Notch, of minecraft fame, and it seems he really went through it after selling MC for $2.5 billion. He talked a lot about isolation and an inability to connect with other people, despite becoming well known for insane parties and stating he has the ability to do whatever he wants.

Other people who have come upon sudden riches have expressed the same sentiment. There was a great post on reddit years ago from a guy in wealth management who talked about the severe lack of "human experience" when you achieve maximum wealth.
The concepts where novel in all books by Denis E. Taylor so far, or at least I find the way he presents them in a new or unique way. The Singularity Trap sticks out to me as a rather unique way to tell the first contact story but I found the story itself less enjoyable than his other works.

I liked the first 3 books of the Bobiverse series but book 4 wasn’t as enjoyable as the rest for me.

By favorite book by Denis E. Taylor was Outland, it reminded me of some of the better works of Michael Crichton. To bad he has writer's block when it comes to continuing the story.
AKA the Haas effect or precedence effect, making the first sound to arrive the most important for localization, even if echoes are louder.
I didn’t bookmark any unfortunately but the tl;dr: conclusion I came to is that the amount of mRNA LNPs injected is so small, and so little of it will make it to your brain that it’s unlikely to cause any problems. To my knowledge there haven’t been any observed side effects that would point to this being a problem either.

Plus there is tons of evidence that COVID-19 wreaks havoc on the brain so there is that too.
I think having a manufacturer that is able to read the contents of your device at any point is good marketing. Although, I know some Apple users that would certainly buy that excuse.
I'm a NZ citizen living overseas and it's currently impossible to fly home over the new year because of limited mandatory quarantine locations.

The booking system is flawed in a way that scalpers have already dominated supply and are selling slots for thousands of dollars, reinforcing that NZ is becoming increasingly unaffordable for typical people.

More information including petition to overhaul the booking system can be found here: https://www.groundedkiwis.com/
I never really found my voice writing for academic literature.

Anyone who clicks my profile will find I have no problem generating vast amounts of text in my own style or even as a character, but writing for a journal ties me into knots.
The political class in North America is going to tank the continent.

And if you try to stop them or say something about it you’ll likely just end up “committing suicide”.

And how many visits Fiji had since the pandemic struck? As far as I know, they closed their borders entirely.
Yeah, and not a soul in the media or other most elsewhere cared until after the election. Indeed, CNN had his own brother interview him, even coaching him to maximize his appeal. The activist media is detestable.
Biden to announce new emissions standards, target that 50% of vehicles
I feel for you. My grandparents were apart of the Italian diaspora too, but they ended up in Canada. I often thought how difficult it would be if I had to choose because both countries are close to my heart. I’ve seen a number of American friends that are also duel citizens have to deal with the stress and unfairness that you have. I just feel really lucky and privileged that I don’t have to be in the position to choose even though I no longer live in Canada or Italy.
Hasn't NZ been isolating itself? AFAIK they have had overall 26 deaths. I ll consider that evidence conclusive
Added Sprawl to the reading list, thanks.
Most other developed nations have better healthcare systems.
How about the common daily anxieties "Will I ever find true love?" and "Damn poop stinks"?
The rise of national chain stores and mass media.

In the past, if you traveled from San Francisco to new Orleans you would experience an entirely different set of stores, a new dialect, new customs, and frankly a new language.

Even the difference between California and Oregon is stark. California being mainly Hispanic and Oregon being mainly Nordic and with lots of Slavic influence. The names change and even the languages do.

I'd never see Russian in California but it's a regular occurrence in Oregon.

EDIT: By no means am I suggesting though that Americans do not have fondness for one another. I just think the relationship between a rural Alabaman and an urban Californian is more like the relationship between two citizens of differing EU countries. We certainly have a shared culture of sorts, and we will defend each other in the face of non-Americans, but there are cultural differences that cannot be simply glossed over.
First off, Cuomo is terrible. People are right to point to the nursing home problems, but there's even more. Stuff like setting up an "anti-corruption" commission to attack his political foes, then hastily shutting it down when it started investigating him. Many of his close aides being arrested for straight up corruption, etc. He's been flagrantly bad for a long time. (Look up the Moreland commission)

That said, a communications manager is strongly, hilariously, obviously not a "facebook executive". For one thing, it's an IC position. CM's don't manage people, they "manage" a message. (Source: I worked at FB)

Please don't let yourself get baited by the literal tabloid that is the Murdoch post.
Wide open borders… in January 2020. Hmm did anything happen in February 2020?
Ok, so it isn't as though you weren't exposed to the concept at least. The way you phrased what you said made it sound like boolean logic itself might be alien to you. Still, there's such a tiny conceptual distance from the gates to bitwise operators that I'm still a bit surprised you didn't acquire it by osmosis.
"New Zealanders stranded overseas"

No I don't think so. All citizens can return home. Believe the issue is booking over booked quarantine facilities for arrival
While it's difficult to envisage the situation in 100 years or so, right now the third option seems the most stupid. It's like giving up without the fight. We have this wonderful green-blue planet rich with resources and able to provide everything we need. Leaving it and looking for something better or even equally nice - I don't know how realistic this is.

What we really need is a global plan for dealing with the issues causing most damage. The "start with the 10 top polluting power plants" is a good starting point, we need more. When we act together, we can produce marvelous things quickly, as the example of COVID-19 vaccines show. I'm all in for exploring space, but it's not our way out for now.
Almost brainless? My cat figured out how to open doors and turn off lights, possibly by observing me. Its quite annoying actually...
Depends of the country.

Could mean you don't want to spend the money for me.
I've had good results with https://github.com/flashlight/flashlight/blob/master/flashli.... Seems to work well with spoken english in a variety of accents. Biggest limitation is that the architecture they have pretrained models for doesn't really work well with clips longer than ~15 seconds, so you have to segment your input files.
Anarchists and the Roots of Wokeism
You mean like Biden? Pelosi? Both NY Democratic senators?

You really can't pin hypocrisy on the Democratic party here. You saw the same with Al Franken (where, in hindsight, they were probably too quick to judge).
The first stocks ever sold to the public were claims on land in a new world, an escape from servitude to kings. Turns out they were just being swindled by a bankrupt crown to keep their own oppressors in power. But there was a new world, and people did escape.
This line of argumentation is always so strange to me because it supposes a strange sort of emotional fragility in the rich that I can't quite square with the exceptionalism we allllll know they possess.

You think the dominant narrative is that America is a racist hellscape? No, no; America is the greatest country on the planet. I heard it on the news. Surely the increasingly consolidated media, owned by the emotionally-fragile rich, could address the dominance of that narrative? Failure to come together to address such a horrifying distortion of reality, after all, would be extremely dangerous to our democracy[0].

In seriousness, I think that your conclusion that the rich are leaving because of culture-war issues is unsupported by the assertion that the dominant narrative is that Murica sucks. The dominant narrative is that America is the land of the free, dude. Unpleasant realities like Trump profiting from the Secret Service having to stay at his hotels, or the dynastic nature of Presidential politics, or how the IRS goes after the poor for lack of the funding that hitting the big-time cheats would require, or how three of the most recent dynasties had ties to an infamous pedophile, or how that pedophile "killed himself" while in high-profile protective custody -- it's all unimportant. Propaganda both subtle and gross smooths things over. The Pledge of Allegiance seems very, very strange to many other cultures, especially Western ones.

I think it's far more likely that they're striking out, as their ancestors once did, to seek a better life. If I were in the habit of cluttering my environment with effluent ponds of various negative externalities, I too would probably want to up and move somewhere with more of a pleasant aspect. Especially if I got to keep all the proceeds of my previous exploitations.

1. Maybe true, but there is also the interesting fact that pharma wanted and got immunity, so it is in pharma's interest to prevent the full authorization;

2. You missed the fact that risks depend on personal data, factors, weights of those factors. Also, cheap treatments are available and effective which push the risk of bad COVID to such small number it's immaterial to most anti-covidism people (a political stance).
> - Healthcare staff have great animosity towards the unvaccinated patients.

In addition to this, I’ve also heard anecdotally that many of the unvaccinated (by choice) patients have animosity towards the healthcare workers themselves because the patients see this virus as politicized.

Overall I can imagine that it’s resulted in a more-hostile-than-average working environment which is bound to be stressful.
Do you have any reasoning to back up these grandiose claims?
Distribution has had 4-5 years to distribute with PoW (ETH specifically). Moving to PoS now makes sense.

All these points for/against PoS/PoW are technicalities at this point given that "decentralization" is a spectrum.
The warning: "Don't buy Apple products, their locked down hardware and walled garden is going to be trouble"

People: Ignore warning, buy iPhone

You: "Don't buy Apple products" isn't an action.

They make themselves more vulnerable to a number of viruses - not just covid. Healthier immune systems reduce transmission.

Hi HN, can you recommend similar sites to krebsonsecurity.com with news and investigations?
So you say being a paying customer gives a higher guarantee that you won't be locked out of your domain and be forced to switch to a new one, potentially losing a good chunk of your readership. It makes sense, and thank you for your answer.

As for the signaling, I don't view it as something undesirable. It is an innate human need and we rely on it heavily. I was just wondering what people found useful in addition to it.
Keep your FUD to yourself and to your family. I am young and healthy enough that I will not need a hospital if I get a covid infection. Your FUD does not change my attitude.
I don't reject anything - there's no question that the median citizen lives a more comfortable life in Scandinavian countries than in the US. But there's a nuance to human nature that might be difficult to admit, and that's that people are inherently ambitious, to the point that both things can be true at the same time:

1) The median Scandinavian citizen is living a more comfortable life than the median US citizen

2) As a Scandinavian citizen, you're more likely to want to live in the US than as a US citizen to want to move to a Scandinavian country.

If you found this exchange weird, I hope you didn't find me disrespectful or anything of that sort, but more like challenging some long-firm beliefs that have been repeated so many times that it's difficult to hear any other point of view. And if you still don't agree with me, that's totally fine - I might very well be wrong. The whole point of being on HN is to hear POVs that are contrarian and hopefully thoughtful.
Having a similar idea is not the same as ripping off.
You're confused by the fact that people are fed up with various elites pushing for restrictive policies, then routinely bypassing and ignoring those policies when it comes to their personal lives? What is so confusing here?
I dont know what happened in February, what I do know however is:

>the billionaire and one of his children were granted access to New Zealand in January
Hard to say. They're obviously still very isolated--which they presumably can't do forever. But they were able to wait things out until a vaccine was developed (elsewhere) though their vaccine rates are still pretty low.
There are countless measures that could be taken that would arguably save just as many if not more lives, but we (collectively) don't believe they're worth it. Many people also believe that the things NZ and AU have done to battle Covid are not worth it.
You have to "show your papers" to go to school. It's likely been like that for longer than you've been alive.
Very happy to see a startup from Pakistan, here! Best of luck to Abhi!

However, how many employers have signed up with you? What kind of salary ranges are you targeting?
So this would be the equivalent of the NBA raising the hoop by a foot without telling anyone that they did this making it look like the players aren’t much better than street ballers? Did the pros do this simply because otherwise everyone would play a perfect game every time making it boring?
Wouldn't the brain send the signals pre-emptively such that they trigger the action at the correct time, accounting for delays? I don't think it's possible to perform any conscious action that quickly, but if you've trained to perform some pattern, your brain would learn to compensate for any processing delays.

Engaging with someone as if they are a person who has a right to make their own decisions... Sounds like a great idea to me.

The "counter-conspiracy claim" here is more plausible than "tracking microchips" etc.

I think a lot of the religious debate about vaccination right now has a component of "if everybody else gets vaccinated I wont have to," because there are risks but we can't discuss those.
This annoys me. If you understand the last two words, it’s very likely you understand the first. Just like OP above.
Thanks for letting us all know, in no uncertain terms, how you feel about this thing that you don't want to buy. It's very important that we all hear about how you don't like this thing you haven't tried.
I was feeling the same.

I live abroad and I'm not rich. I sometimes debate renouncing my US citizenship, but working remote in the US makes me well off here. If I had a local job making piles of money I might be more inclined to. My only complaint is that when I go to visit mom, I get endless grief from the immigration officials.
I knew vlang from Volt, been waiting for 3+ years. I agree with some of the parent comment.

But I hold no grudge for you, keep up the spirit and good work.

I hope the project went well
When one side basically denies the virus exists, it kind of is.
A lot of computer history is filled with machines that were obviously a link in a chain between earlier times and later times. They felt "transitional", in a sense. To me, both the Amiga & the original Mac had a "ding an sich", a such-ness that made them feel timeless. They stand alone as objects (art?) that can still be enjoyed today in and of themselves, no excuses needed.

There are probably a bunch of other machine candidates that feel this way to someone out there!
Why on Earth would anyone use an app for this when mobile browsers work perfectly well for adding audio to Common Voice?

We could possibly give the developer the benefit of the doubt that they're not doing anything inappropriate with the data but frankly why pass your data through a third party that's not part of the project.

And why install an app requiring access to your shared local storage? The GitHub repo claims the website an animations are slow which sounds like BS to me. It works fine on a five year old phone I use for submitting.

Just contribute here if you're so inclined, much more sensible:

Radio was initially fairly cumbersome, so in WW1 it was restricted but was not a long range threat - still all of Europe feared the spy sending data to another spy in another country After WW1 Europe stayed locked down with draconian laws limiting private radios.
At this time they relied on fenced borders - radio made them crap their pants. They had a Spy-Vs-Spy mind set, still it was manageable, long range stuff was large in terms of antennas etc.
The USA relied in the Atlantic ocean - small transmitters did not have the range and large ones were easy to find and hard to hide.
The net USA result was radio amateurs, crystal sets etc were not limited apart from the licence. So radio grew enormously in the USA, thousands of independent radio stations and millions of radio receivers. In Europe radio transmitters were government owned, BBC etc, so it grew a little but nothing like the USA. Rest of Europe more or less similar.
By 1939 = WW2 all in europe were in the middle ages, more or less, in terms of radio at all levels. At universities etc, research took place, but wide dissemination and adoption was interdicted by this oppressive milieu.
Thus the USA gained on the UK/Europe after WW1 and by the time WW2 happened it was far ahead. During WW2 radio was locked down again, but the USA has by far the largest pool of amateur radio people - who all knew Morse Code.
What countries are they moving to? Currently if you save and invest your money you can pass it to your children (or whoever) with a step up in cost basis. So the investments can go on indefinitely from generation to generation essentially without tax. Because technically, you haven't realized any gains yet. In the meantime, you can borrow from banks against these investments (also I believe not taxable, at least not like income tax). These new laws would get rid of the ability to pass on your wealth without a significant (like 50%?) tax because they would recognize death or gifts as a taxable "transaction". Unless you donate it to charity. Which might be why Buffet is leaving all of his money to charities (which are run by his kids...or at least some of them).

I'm honestly still trying to figure this out but that's what I understand so far. Another interesting consequence is that calculating long term investment cost basis's sounds like a f'ing nightmare. Maybe that's why the step up rule exists?

KUR8: Start Visualizing Your Cluster’s Topology and Metrics
Manitoba Nurses are on shaky ground too as they haven't had a contract for 4 years.
All the lockdowns started because we didn't want to overwhelm the hospital system. In the US, the hospital system, at least the ERs were already running on fumes. Our politicians have decided it's better to play world police and kill people overseas than invest in community hospitals.

All the billions handed out to the vaccine companies and the propaganda machines, but no investment in increasing hospital capacity. These mega corporations that run the hospitals, they prey on people's caring capacity. Nurses haven't already left the field because nothing else pays a living wage and they have 60k in student debt to pay off.

Let's just blame the unvaccinated though. That ensures Pfizer keeps buying ads on CNN.
My thought process is optimization for all the guests. Doing some simple math: Cost of holding wedding at location X + cost of wedding attendents travel + cost of lodging at location X vs the same costs at location Y.

Not surprising, the location where the majority of the attendents reside is usually the most economical for the total cost the wedding for all involved. I do understand that it is the couples wedding and they can choose where they want to hold it. I am surprised that more couples (in my limited experience) do not consider their guests expenses more.
10% is a gross exaggeration, though. Romania has lower salaries than Poland, as far as I know, and in Romania as a senior engineer in a decent company you can get a total <<net>> compensation of €3.5k - €4k per month, that would be ~$4k - $4.8k per month, so ~$48k - ~58k. Again, net. And probably more since there are companies that give you RSUs/ESPPs, so you can go along for the ride. Not as many as in the US, obviously, but a decent chunk. So you could even push towards something like $70k.

I think even at the biggest FAANGS in the US, you total <<net>> compensation as a senior engineer will be $250k-$300k, leaving the ratio somewhere around 4-5x (and this is for a super limited set of companies and positions; I'd imagine that the average ratio would be closer to 2-3x).

And don't forget that local living expenses are minimal. You'd get to keep maybe even 90% of your salary.
In practice PoW is pretty centralized also. Most of the mining is done by those who have the capital to set up massive ASIC/GPU farms.
So not quite like Krebs, but a security aggregator that has been around for a very long time is Packetstorm. [1] Some corporate firewalls have a category to block Packetstorm due to their storage of PoC exploit code. They usually have terse articles, PoC source code, advisories, links to security related stories. Another aggregator closer to ZDNet style would be ThreatPost [2]

Beyond those sites, there are sometimes articles posted by Tavis Ormandy from Google on interesting 0-day exploits but they are not all on one website AFAIK.
