>Vaccines that let the hosts survive but do not prevent the spread of the pathogen relax this selection, allowing the evolution of hotter pathogens to occur. This type of vaccine is often called a leaky vaccine. When vaccines prevent transmission, as is the case for nearly all vaccines used in humans, this type of evolution towards increased virulence is blocked. But when vaccines leak, allowing at least some pathogen transmission, they could create the ecological conditions that would allow hot strains to emerge and persist.

Very relevant when coupled with the Massachusetts study that showed that the vaccinated can still spread Delta with apparently very little problem. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7031e2.htm?s_cid=mm...
A similar trick is used by some landlords. No rent? Call the CO. Makes military tenants very reliable.

An adult man being a bully in a professional environment?

No one should care about him. Fire him and let him try and find a job somewhere else.
Context switching is the enemy of productivity, in my experience.

When I get in a groove (or in the zone) on any project, and I have to shift gears for an interruption it’s frustrating. Momentum is a law of both the physical world and my mind.

It’s interesting that many members of the IPCC are not climatologists or similar. The spokesperson for this article is a Dutch professor of “innovation studies and sustainability”.

Furthermore, the chair is an economist, there are professors and researchers of alternative energies, environmentalists, etc. On the Wikipedia page about the IPCC you struggle to find but one climatologist mentioned.

If someone would care to comment my question instead of just downvoting it, I’d appreciate that.
SMS is expensive.
If privacy was that important to me, I'd be using DuckDuckGo instead of Google.
A bot can trivially generate TOTP tokens from a shared secret and receive/process incoming SMS to extract the code.
“I crush people” is an unacceptable attitude for a manager to take regarding his own employees. Whether those employees can handle that sort of counterproductive adversity is irrelevant.
We do have digital certs in Europe (as mentioned in other comments). I don't know why the article mentions Europe, the cards aren't used to check vaccination here.

In a interesting turn of events, in Italy, a Telegram group who sold fake green passes has now turned the operation into a ransom attack. They’re intimating everyone who sent their personal information and payed 300€ for a fake pass to pay another 350€ in BTC or they’ll send all the data to the police.
This is remarkably well said. Thank you.
The trash solution is more poor people? Can’t argue with that basis. Just seems like it has some drawbacks.
I was considering dropping one of my VPS hosts, and when they started putting captchas in the way of logging in, that was the final straw that convinced me. It has also affected my decisions whether to sign up for or use other services. I wonder if web-based businesses consider the lost revenue resulting from annoying their customers or prospective customers this way?
I'm not probably.

But why the snarkily tone? It is really uncalled for.
It's less expensive than losing customers due to a bad UX.

I don't think that necessarily holds true if you're making the choice to buy from a dealer though, as having the choice implies you're already in a legal state.

At least in California, I'm under the impression the legal and illegal supply chains are still very intermixed, so the stuff from your dealer is as potent as dispensary. Though I'm not sure how true that holds as you get further from the major growing areas.
They are not looking at your photos at all, they are comparing hashes of them to hashes of KNOWN predatory material. Your family photos will not be in that database.
It means that the correctness properties that were formally proved are not necessarily what you would intuitively understand as "correct". E.g. you can formally prove that a buggy factorial(n) always outputs (n - 1)! by incorrectly defining what you want to prove. The function behaves according to what you proved, it's just not the expected behaviour.
I just put passwords in those fields if they are required.
Can you explain how increased enthalpy makes nuclear fission cheaper? Shouldn't it get more expensive because of the dangers inherent to high enthalpy?

We didn't build nuclear weapons because they were cheaper, we built them because we desire danger and more danger requires more enthalpy.

By that logic even civilian usage of high enthalpy carries the risk of danger.
I mean, telephones are a platform for grifters.
America is 30% African American or Hispanic. Most boards have no idea about how to target products to those cultures. Those are blind spots and missed opportunities.

If I had my druthers, a corporate board would include:

* An employee

* A customer

* 2-3 people from non-US countries

* A person from a minority American community (e.g. AA or Hispanic)

* .. and so on.

As is, boards include rich white CEOs, or sometimes professors, or similar, who have absolutely no first-hand experience with a lot of what's needed in the boardroom.
It's also worth stating that crypto is already regulated. If people are avoiding taxes that's already illegal.

This is an attempt to expand surviellance to make revenue collection easier for the state.

Excuse me if I'm not thrilled about the state having even more information about our lives. I pay my taxes to avoid being jailed, but they're never satisfied until they have complete control over society.
> a parallel, "socialist" society that exists inside the U.S.A. That's the military in a nutshell.

Perfect description, which I find hilarious. It's the best large-scale example of socialism that actually works. But the Right won't admit it and the Left thinks it's hell.
Don't mess with those guys.

It's a joke. You'd expect that a proof of correctness to be the Holy Grail. Nothing could be wrong, since it's proved correct. And yet, after running it, you could still find a bug in it, because you may have made a mistake in your proof.
Obviously I don't understand it then, care to explain?

I really hate giving my phone number to any service, especially since i might need a second account there, or they might sell my data (or get hacked).

I also hate sites that force you to do so... eg. twitter, where it decides it won't let you register without a phone number (making a new twitter account for a project), then won't allow you to use the phone number, because you already used it for your primary account.
Sounds similar in principle to the consequences of failing to complete a course of antibiotics.
That street runs both ways. When asshole landlords were raising rent every three months on soldiers and their families, the general on the base threatened to build more housing and move everyone on base, gutting the local rental market.

The landlords quit their shit and cut a deal.
Yep, addiction is a complex subject that we still know very little about. I recommend reading the study I linked to. And check out the kratom forums to read many personal accounts from people using kratom to quit alcohol, cocaine, heroine and more. Thanks.
That's a fickle slice though.

They're only attractive to (a) individuals or (b) companies too small to just deal directly with standard office space brokers.

They need larger accounts to drive their COGS down, but larger accounts can bypass their service. So they're like a cloud provider, except without all the synergy and lock-in.

The only future where they're moderately successful is one where workforces are substantially more spread out (one employee in each different city) and they're a broker.

But even then... they'd face the challenge of scaling their business geographically (office in every city) vs having larger offices in hubs.
Sounds like someone who has seen way too much of how the sausage gets made.
We don't live in a utopia. There are going to be people that say and do things that you dislike; That's reality. Instead of running to an authority figure to complain every time you encounter adversity, like a child, people need to learn to handle those situations...like adults. Someone acting mean or making an off color comment like this are a fact of life. No amount of safe spaces and down voting inconvenient truths is going to change that.
People were optimistic about LEO shipping costs when the Space Shuttle program just started, but it didn’t exactly work out economically. Partially reusable F9 was meant to decrease lunch costs, and it did, but not to the extent some hoped. Starship, no doubt, will bring prices down, but then again, even $1k/kilo to the moon surface sounds kind of… an aspirational stretch.

Citation needed. More and more evidence is emerging that the vaccinated that get infected can spread it. Worse yet a so-called "breakthrough" can be asymptomatic [0]. There's still research to be done but this is the actual current up-to-the-minute consensus. If this is true then, not having a biology degree, I would assume that because these do not prevent spreading but rather mitigate severe illness those people who are infected and vaccinated are more likely to be responsible for transmitting it as there won't be many, or any, symptoms to signal you to quarantine/get tested.

Moreover, historically there have been several leaky vaccines that have contributed to far more fit viruses. We could possibly be staring at the biggest health science flub in history.

It's not a misrepresentation whatsoever.

If Apple wishes to scan what's on their servers, that is their prerogative. They can use their compute resources and energy to do so. You needn't install spyware on a person's device that is of no benefit to the user. I'll reiterate, this can only ever be harmful to the user. Its utility right now is at its absolute best and most altruistic and it is still a violation of people's privacy and stealing computing resources from the device owner.

> That’s also an opt-in service, and frankly it seems entirely reasonable for Apple not to want their servers to be used as a repository or hub for child porn.

This will not stop their servers being used as a repository for illicit materials, if that is what you're suggesting.
If Google deems your request suspicious enough, yes.

You can try this yourself by Googling something suspicious, like common Google dorks. After a few variations of WordPress/phpAdmin Google dorks, you'll get a popup asking you to fill out a CAPTCHA to continue.

If you share your IP with lots of people (CGNAT, schools, large offices) then enough weird Googling can get the entire IP address stuck behind CAPTCHA's for a while. It usually clears after a few minutes, but I've seen it last for up to an hour when someone in the network was doing something they shouldn't have been doing.
I certainly hope the similarities with Marek's disease reaching 100% mortality begin and end there. What I can personally extrapolate is that allowing or even advising vaccinated people not to wear masks and distancing is rather dangerous.

His new job would be considered a promotion from his old job by most tech workers, if it were laid out for them without the surrounding context of him likely being a repeat abuser of his workers. The uncertainty about whether it’s a promotion is brought along by that context, not the facts of the job change itself.
But that function is precisely what they're writing? Add a "return max;" at the end and you have you function. It will still be longer than |/.

> Maybe terseness just isn't that tremendously valuable to a lot of coders.

That's the thing. The big difference between the APL community and the rest is the value they accord to terness. I'm not saying they are right or wrong, I'm saying that it is what defines them.

Another point that goes with the symbols is that the symbols may not have the baggage that words have. Words can mean a lot of different things.

I wonder if it's possible to devise a QR code verification system that doesn't erode privacy.

For example, what if guests could regenerate the QR code, or the app did it automatically, every five minutes? And the QR code contained nothing but a cryptographically verifiable assertion that the person presenting it is vaccinated, together with a picture (or a reference to a downloadable picture) of the guest? That would prevent the host from being able to gather anything beyond what they already can from their CCTV, while getting the vaccination assurance they need.

Trouble is, I can't think of a way to do this without connectivity, and that's problematic due to downtime, service availability, and so on. A privacy eroding fallback to an offline system would be possible, but runs the risk of privacy violators simply "accidentally" losing connectivity.

Anyway, there's a challenge for HN. Design such a system :-)

The Rumours of the Death of Agile Have Been Greatly Exaggerated
A related work, “MSA Transformer” [1], contrasts the strengths and weaknesses of language models using single sequences as input (as here) against language models using alignments as input. The authors of “MSA Transformer” perform ablation studies and various kinds of feature randomization, and compare directly against the state of the art (Potts models) in predicting residue-residue couplings.

One interesting note from “MSA Transformer”

> Potts models and single-sequence language models predict protein contacts in fundamentally different ways. Potts models are trained on a single MSA; they extract information directly from the covariance between mutations in columns of the MSA. Single-sequence language models do not have access to the MSA, and instead make predictions based on patterns seen during training. The MSA Transformer may use both covariance-based and pattern-based inference

Or you know, she could have been a wage worker for an elite. There is literally no price variation in India for someone who earns $50k or $20k or $500k - the maids ultimately earn the same regardless of the net worth of their employer. The only differentiators are the perks (staying within the apartment/building, free food, etc).

To give an anecdote, a friend's cousin is a partner at a consulting firm in Delhi, yet I was surprised to find out that their live-in help was paid 12k INR a month. It's not about them being stingy, it's just the market rate (or in this case, above market).
Geothermal is inevitable for district heating. Renewables are good at electricity but bad at primary energy, especially in the winter.
I was so furious when I found the camera I confronted the president of the board that day on the street. He cooped to it in that conversation, said something about ‘our neighborhood is changing and we need to do something about it’, which was a referencing to a recent event involving a friend of a black family not being wanted at the pool. He was scared because he knew it was wrong, as cowards often are when confronted, and told me it would be removed, which it was, the same day. I mentioned it in the next meeting and was promptly called a liar, screamed at for 5 minutes and kicked out. The board made an official statement at the next meeting chastising my conduct and denying the entire incident.

Of course I still have the pictures of the camera, though I realized quickly I was the only one concerned with the surveillance, and rumor was I was the nefarious person that needed to be watched out for because ‘what does he have to hide then anyway?’

The board continues to hide cameras around the neighborhood whenever they see fit.

The real kicker to the whole thing was that at the same time I found out our Vice President, the one behind the whole shtick, was a disbarred ex DA, who is now an ex felon because he stole a gun out of an evidence locker gave it to his mistress and told her to kill his wife. What a world!

I guess you could hope for their decency to cut off bits only after they've killed you. Combine that with their possible (probable?) stupidity to assume you have biometrics enabled, and they might kill you without even asking for any password, so you'd die secure in the knowledge that they'll never crack your data.

This isn't a problem in any of the languages the article mentions (Python, Ruby, JavaScript, Java) so that might be why the author didn't bring it up. Callbacks in these languages are objects that can carry along their own data.

Why does the slider conflate position with velocity? Leave it at 0.95c for a minute, put it back to zero, then watch as your position is re-set back to 0. Subsequently slide it back to 0.95c, your position is magically fast-forwarded to your previous position, along with resumption of velocity.

That's a good question, I am naive to this as well. However my guess is that if you looked forward you would see a dilation effect. Looking backward, you would see the same, just reversed. If you could go faster than light then looking behind you would be darkness (since light can't catch you). However looking forward, could it be that normal light is dilated to such a degree that we change perspective and can see things normally not in our visual range (like Infrared)?
