I would have loved a protein based option. I think there haven't been enough questions around the mRNA vaccine longterm potential impact. There are woefully few studies exploring the potential for autoimmune conditions. I find this especially troubling when using ones own cells to develop the spike protein. Normally the immune system codes off multiple proteins of the cell, but this would be a problem when the other cell proteins are legitimate.

Basically, there are still more questions than answers in my mind. I just hope the national countermeasure compensation fund will be able to handle any potential fallout.
Totally agree, seems more like a hook to get people to read since soon into it they write,

> “Flying car” is a bit of a misnomer. Along with other soon-to-be-public players, Joby is focused on electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft.
“Fewer young people starting their careers today have had even the middle-class upbringing or family resources of so many of Stanley’s quiet millionaires.”

Note that divorce is one of these family resource affecting occurrences. More and more people are growing up in families of divorce, and divorce decimates current and future wealth potential.

Say nothing about the ethics of divorce, a culture that does more of a resource destroying thing will inevitably have a “death” of some downstream consequence.
The Detective Pikachu movie is actually premised on the recognition that battling Pokémon against their will is unethical. It's kinda strange to have that as canon, when the entire rest of the franchise encourages you to battle them and the games provide zero alternative.

On the other hand... I think your concern here is just about the worst example of pearl-clutching over video game violence that I've seen. Kids don't have a problem sorting fact from fiction when capturing Pokémon involves throwing a ball at them and the Pokémon somehow becoming entrapped within.
My understanding is that this is more about generating a robust immune response in the first place than about losing protection over time.
There have been a lot of studies looking at third shots, at natural immunity combined with vaccines, and even at mixing vaccines. And the general idea is that there are ways to generate a more optimal immune response, and the vaccine courses given emergency authorization are probably not the best of all options.

Researchers have yet to determine how long natural immunity lasts, and it may last for a very long time. Immunity from vaccines is expected to be at least as durable as natural immunity, though some studies have shown a slight decline in protection over months. But there are definitely no clear signs yet that an annual shot will be necessary.
An interesting anecdote to this:

For a while my home network was running OpenMPTCProuter and I was testing bonding my 500mbps cable and 1000mbps fiber out to a linode VPS. So my home IP was a linode address.

I went to watch the newest season I Think You Should Leave (on an ATV) but only the first season showed up. As soon as I bypassed OpenMPTCProuter, the new season showed up. The same went for the app on my phone on the bonded wifi vs cellular.
No one allowed it.

There was a business need so someone stepped up to fill the void by geomapping IPs. Given legal compliance concerns this was inevitable, even completely ignoring the profit potential from even very coarse-grained (ie. country-level) differential pricing.

Actively preventing this would have necessitated some pretty ugly tradeoffs which no one was incentivized to make.
interesting.
> And that's stored in Dynamodb, which is very much a KV store and it was somewhat of a nightmare to keep track of these things.
what problems did you face to keep track of these things in a KV store?
good thing about badgerdb in our case is badgerDB data files live on the same filesystem as our file based manifests and so in essence its just a fancy file based manifest that supports efficient features like append only operations, partial reads, crash recovery etc. In theory we can implement all such features on our existing manifest files.
With badgerDB we just get them out of the box and snapshots still work as expected. So we are trying to move all the information in manifest files to separate badgerDB instances for each shard.
But till we have source of truth in manifest files as well as badgerDB (while we are in transition), we have to do the dance of synchronizing data between the two.
But why was there bad debt on the market ? Yes the defense mechanisms couldnt work since they were interdependent, but I saw a hairdresser on tv talking of how she used to flip 600k houses before the crisis, makes me think she s also part of the problem by failing to obey general accounting principles (dont borrow what you cant repay just because market goes up).

And no, saying natural idiocy in the citizenry is to be embraced, does not simplify the issue: it was caused by natural idiocy which was enabled by lax enforcement. There are countries where your credit score matters not at all and your current ability to actually repay is analyzed.

You can fix the banks all you want but if people take stupid loans you ll never run out of ways to crash.

I believe in testable hypotheses and reproducable experiments ... Yet that's a bit difficult when dealing with a pandemic and potentially deadly virus. It seems also from studies, that even cloth masks have an effect. If there's a chance I can save a life by the very slight annoyance of wearing a mask, isn't that something we should do?
It's not worth it right now. The economies of scale could add up to make it break even, if not be cheaper.

Big could, of course. But considering it takes new devs at my company ~3 business days to get up and running (and we're a React shop), it could be worthwhile.

automate whenever possible.
A sibling commenter said, only if that was the design. Heck they can launch with credit cards on board that have chips in them, those also have a private key, you give it some data, it returns a digital signature of this data, signed using a private key on-chip which can't be modified.

It'll be a different use case for encryption, but I guess a unique signature is not guessable that one could use that as an encryption key...

If you have trouble sleeping have you tried a weighted blanket?

My girlfriend brought one recently and it’s weirdly relaxing having something so heavy resting over your body. I’ve found it helps me with just lying still and I think the weight subconsciously makes my body feel heavier and more tired than I actually am.
I had a little fever (99) and was tired for about 12 hrs. Was not terrible. But I am 63.

I think you might be catching too much flak on this thread but to add to the discussion:

>Oh you mean the same time I graduated into a shitty job market with thousands in college loans?

I think this is actually to the same point. Compare what you stated with someone who, say, graduated in the 1960s where they could have a middle class lifestyle without even graduating college, or if they did graduate, without mountains of debt or relatively high home prices.

Both points can be true. There can still be paths forward while also acknowledging it can be more difficult. Exceptional people will always find a path to success; that's what makes them exceptional. What worries me is when we (as a society) make it exceedingly difficult for large swaths of people to succeed at achieving something as modest as "middle-class".

If you embarrass the US government there is a real risk that a suicide will happen to you.
Bitcoin can be sound money after the price stabilizes, which will probably take decades if it ever happens. Nothing else in the world ever could be sound money except commodity money, like gold, but I'd argue that bitcoin is better.

Maybe there's a high-tech solution here, like asking a UK friend to use their Netflix when they're asleep (given the time difference). Your friend would run a VPN on their home PC for you.

And honestly, I can't see Netflix caring enough to crack down on it. If anything, it mimics what N should do, which is offer people an account with a logical geography independent of physical geography.
I appreciate when the Atlantic publishes these early releases of next month's content. It seems Bobby got lucky in death to have a friend of his eventually become a writer at a periodical of note and memorialize him like this. It's a fascinating study of how grief affects people very differently and it makes me think of all the friends I had who died young and are forever lost to the memory of just about everyone.

My girlfriend back then had a roommate named Sarah Potter who worked for Merrill Lynch in the World Trade Center. She happened to be sick that day and didn't go in. It's not likely that it made a difference since the vast majority of Merrill Lynch employees survived, and given the sheer number, I doubt she knew this guy. She did have pretty serious survivor guilt, though.

It's interesting the weight we place on some deaths compared to others based on how they happened. I eventually joined the Army after this, and it was always an interesting factoid that Texas highways were consistently about 8-10 times as deadly as combat. We lost way more soldiers to traffic accidents than we did to the enemy. There was a counter at the front gate to Fort Hood showing days since the last person had died on the road, and that counter never went past 7 for four years once.

Yet we memorialized the heck out of the combat deaths, drank to them, put pictures of them in the headquarters, reserved empty tables for them at unit events. Nothing for the vehicular deaths. They were just slowly forgotten.

How many bad things have killed 10s, 100s, 1000s more than 9/11, yet no one cares and the people just quietly fade from memory, whereas this triggered a drastic and probably permanent shift in law enforcement, intelligence collection, and defense strategies, started a war we just ended a few weeks ago, and has become the greatest source of spilled ink for an entire generation of writers?

It may be one of the greater expressions ever of what activists were complaining about last year with respect to policing and laws valuing property more than people. Massive numbers of deaths can become a meaningless statistic, but the loss of a national landmark scars the country forever. But I think they are quite wrong to pin that kind of thing on capitalism. It seems to be a much more fundamental aspect of human group psychology. Symbols really matter to us.

What is it about this that makes you surprised?
Why not? I had this setup for years before switching to bitwarden_rs.

You have apps on every device to access your password database and do autofill. I stored everything in KeePass, recovery keys, TOTP seeds, sensitive documents and notes. I get the password sharing thing for families but for a single user they have the same featureset. The only thing missing is browser access but even though I now have browser access to Bitwarden I think I’ve used it like twice. I think I used Keyweb maybe once.
> I found the model especially strange because of the requirement that any custom changes you asked for would be available to everyone else (your competitors).

It's the same model as any game-console SDK. If you ask for changes to the SDK, those changes are going into "the SDK", which all customers get access to. Platform providers don't tend to offer work-for-hire for custom forks of their code; instead, what they're offering is to prioritize adding certain features to the shared upstream codebase. In the end, the platform provider wants there to just be one SDK, that solves the superset of all their customers' problems. Anything else is a ridiculously-large maintenance burden.

Isn't the better question to ask if geographically restricted broadcasting rights aren't simply obsolete ?

Like, it possibly made some sense back when the stuff was actually broadcast via terrestrial TV to the given area (and even then it was normal to watch TV across national borders, even over the Iron Curtain!) but it really does not seem to make any sense what so ever in modern global world.

It rather seems like yet another case of someone clinging to and enforcing by any means available an outdated concept because it just so happens to bring them more money if they keep it alive.
Question: remember when the distribution of these vaccines was a logistical impossibility due to requiring minus 100 temperatures and special freezers and all that? And then it somehow got "solved" and it hasn't been mentioned since? Was it really all that easy? Or is it possible that millions of people are getting thawed or warmed shots that, due to not following extreme procedures, have lost their potency?

Just making blocks bigger isn't enough to scale bitcoin to Visa levels, so making on-chain bitcoin payments work for small payments was never on the table.

It would have required a radical redesign of bitcoin to even have a chance of success, and that has always been off the table and has been left for new, experimental digital currencies.
This expiry date is tied to it being in my account? Or just on the dollar? Why would anyone want to accept it, when it will be worthless next week?
Yeah but it's not allowed in esports because it provides an unfair advantage. It's still unethical and provides an unfair advantage outside of the esports community, there just isn't a judge watching all the players and enforcing it.
Mosh: The Mobile Shell
From my experience it's most useful for getting information on clear outliers. The ranking system might rank a very good player with terrible players until the ranking settles in. A few players are "boosted" by other players to reach higher ranks. In such situations it might be useful as you know that specific opponent on the other team is the one to watch out for or who to focus.

There is a lot of summary stats available, but the most useful one from personal experience is the win ratio. If the data tells you that one player on the other team wins 70 % of the games, then that's usually a clear indicator that the ranking of that player is most likely lower than it should be.

It might just be a better or worse player overall, so adapting to it might not be possible, except for knowing who to put pressure on.
Because the criticism is bollocks. "I want to hear particular views on a particular website" isn't an argument.
Unrelated to your question, but as someone not familiar with the space, is that pricing competitive?
Very good take.
That was only a problem in developing countries, and dry ice solved it nicely. That said, the vaccination figures from developing countries are still very low, not in the least because the developed world refuses to pay for it. Though there is some movement on this, it should be painfully obvious by now that as long as there is even one country where this is not under control we can pretty much assume that there will be endless re-runs.

And after the 3 doses the patient has immunity against HPV.

Bloomberg:
“A month after the third shot, 55% of those who got it developed antibody levels likely to provide significant protection.”

Only 5% over half were “Likely” plus “significant” which is not definite by a long shot (no pun intended)

And how much of that research is stolen from US?
I think the parent poster's point was that the Linux console framebuffer renderer in particular, is not a particularly full-featured terminal in terms of the SGR sequences it supports. Which can be slightly unpleasant when you're stuck working in "text" (really, console framebuffer) mode in Linux for whatever reason.

(Which makes me wonder: is there a way to tell Linux to not use its own console framebuffer driver for displaying TTYs, but rather to instead spawn some userland libsdl binary and connect it to the raw framebuffer? If so, we could presumably just drop in a fully-featured terminal emulator to act as the Linux console.)
But does that mean Google can release an iOS app store? I guess the reverse is much easier as Android is a much more open platform.

I'm in a strange position. I'm burnt out on every side of every candles from trying too hard too long with no results (due to life chaos, lack of luck, bad choices, who knows).

To survive I took brainless jobs and I find myself in a different form of pain, being eroded by uneducated, learning-resistant cogs.

Right now reading you say "measuring my self against people ahead of me" feels tempting, even after all the problems I got. It's a bit like exercise .. my brain needs it or it shrivels.

the idea that Americans are more innovative hasn't been true for quite a while - look at Nio, Xiaomi, Huawei, ByteDance, and countless other examples.

In Huawei's case, the binaries shipped with the products still had the Cisco copyright strings in them!

I think one of the biggest failings in how we handled COVID is lack of challenge trials. We could have had all the vaccines approved months earlier. I'd have been thrilled to volunteer for a challenge trial and still would to accelerate approval of booster shots or mixes of vaccines.

Every day we can get any approval sooner is so many lives saved!
> AC units with massive fans doing all the heavy lifting are incredibly inefficient.

By what criteria? How much energy does it take to move the air around compared to actually cooling it?
The Moderna shot had more relaxed requirements from the beginning, and the Pfizer shot could be stored for a month by adding dry ice to the shipping container.

There was focus on the requirements, but there were lots of people arguing that they weren't that onerous for wealthy countries (and they aren't particularly onerous).
The way this works is, the content provider (actually, someone working on the content provider's behalf) does an independent check every so often.

Then they (the content lawyers) come back to Netflix and say "hey, 10% of these attempts got through, you are breaking our deal.

Obviously, some of these of these service providers are not the brightest bulbs on the internet, but try telling that to the legal department of a media conglomerate.

So, the technical team that handles this at Netflix has to shoot for the worst case, instead of the average case, even if they are already being effective.
Also WFM. And the UI - it is non-GitHub'ey, very much a bolted-on product IMO.
