Where "in a particular way" is highly accurate genomic sequencing rather than a PCR test with a long list of known problems,

The particular way requires both the original diagnosis of the first infection AND the diagnosis of the second infection to be done the same way.

Most infections never get diagnosed that way in the first place, which is why such a comparison is impossible for the vast majority of cases.

What exactly is your theory? That those 35,000 people never had COVID in the first place, or that what they got the second time around isn't COVID? Or that we can disregard every other word in that report, because the only word that matters in it is '137'?

Wow, I really disagree with this. Or, with the implication / point?

Sure, if one buys a newspaper, chances are that one won’t hold on to it for long. But it is important that one can. If one wants to cut out a story from it and hold onto it, perhaps in a scrapbook, one can do so.

It is also important for archival and preservation purposes.

However, since we're relying on (Gricean) charity, let me point out that you're not following up with the maxim of relevance. The headline and article are centered around the question of the definition of racism, not whether the amount of racism exceeds some particular benchmark.

Strongly disagree. The experience of Linux on desktop computers has never been better, and has been steadily improving for years. ‘Year of the Linux Desktop’ is of course a meme so it doesn’t really matter how long it has been current year, the fact is that every DE is improving and it has never been easier to be a Linux user.

If there is any criticism that can be made, it’s that the amount of choice can be overwhelming - there are dozens of highly polished, functional distributions - but once you get past that there is no practical limit except the way that Microsoft products like Office are locked away (even this is improving, since you can use Office online).

My understanding of the AGPL and its history is that it was meant to close a perceived loophole with SaaS: companies selling you access to services built on GPL'd code were not compelled to distribute their changes.

The is significantly different a local virtual machine, of which the JVM is one: the code is still fundamentally being distributed to the client, which triggers the release clause in the original GPL. To the best of my knowledge, nobody has ever (successfully) claimed that executing JVM bytecode releases them from their obligations under the GPL.

SpaceX's latest FCC filing for Gen2 Starlink states that the new Gen2 satellites have the capacity to “accommodate additional payloads in the future” [0].

It is very plausible that the US government (Space Force, NRO, NOAA, etc) might sign up to provide some of those additional payloads. Although surveillance technology is much more likely than active weapons systems. I think SpaceX will likely resist turning Starlink into a weapon, it could be bad for their corporate image and might cause political difficulty with Starlink's approval in some countries.

Surveillance technologies can always be covered up as commercial imaging, environmental/scientific imaging, military communication systems, etc.

Bacteria do not mutate directly, in fact, no living creature we know of mutates directly in response to anything. All evolution is random mutation in offspring randomly providing fitness to itself and it's progeny above its predecessors and peers. That is what Darwinian evolution is.
This looks awesome. I've been looking for something like this, not for math but for animations showing the steps of an algorithm (thing something like a matrix transpose, showing each step by moving the cells as they are moved by the algorithm). Still it seems like a good match since math and this type of algorithm animation seem pretty close.

> Intersectionality is supposed to be a framework of understanding power amongst different groups but often gets applied to an individual basis

Intersectionality is about the experience of privilege/disadvantage/discrimination differing, on a way that is not a simple linear combination of effects, by combinations (“intersections”) of group memberships. While it applies to groups, there's no magical lower bound on size for its applicability, and when you consider more axes of differentiation, the size of the groups represented by distinct intersections approaches one.

That kind of reasoning is a great way to impress other Marxist-Leninists (of which I am not one) and alienate everyone else.

Whether that's what you intended or a reflex you've developed, it has no basis in reality.

You can use all these software even in Iran though. You just have to get it from somewhere else.

I can write a FLOSS app and decide to distribute it only to people whose name is Amy, and it will remain 100% FLOSS as long as these Amys have all their freedoms guaranteed (including the freedom to redistribute that software to anyone else).

The only thing that seems at odds with software freedom (at least as understood by FSF and OSI) shown in this article is Fedora's "By clicking on and downloading..." screen. IANAL, but "you can't redistribute this to XYZ" sounds like "this software is non-free" to me.

This is actually an interesting problem. If I make a FLOSS app, but my government decides against my will that neither I nor anyone I shared it with can share it any further, is it FLOSS anymore? I guess no, but what if I break the law and share it anyway?
The cool thing about this is that it shows you can open source stuff and have people use it, but you don't have maintain the project.

> If the model starts predicting black people will be better athletes at higher rates than white people, is the ML model biased?

My comment is the naughtiest of wrong-think by HN standards, but the likely reality is that most human programmers will do their genuine best to deliver algorithms that treat all humans equally without bias towards race, gender, and other immutable characteristics and just try and deliver the best objective result (picking good athletes, getting the most money, getting the best employees, or whatever other task is involved), but then will be forced to either do 1 of 2 things when it inevitably yields an unequal outcome or decision that goes against the political correctness orthodoxy.

1) Reprogram their software to fit modern political correctness standards. Personally I think this is close to impossible. As an example: say you're creating some software to determine healthiness by various available data and it objectively determines that heavier people tend to be less healthy. You're boxed into an impossible corner here of either being politically incorrect or just lying to people about their health.

2) Go back to human decision makers for anything controversial because I don't even know how it will be possible to program an algorithm to take into account all of society's made-up, arbitrary, ever-changing rules on "equitable" outcomes. As far as I'm aware, Amazon had to abandon their effort to replace some of their HR efforts with algorithms because it yielded politically incorrect outcomes despite the programmers seemingly trying to just come up with the best possible employees and nothing else.
