The problem appears to me to be a design problem of the implanted devices, not the iPhone.

Unless I'm mistaken this is what's happening:

1. ICDs want/need to communicate with the outside (at least one way).

2.However, this is not trivial since a human body is a bag of salt water. Therefore low frequencies are needed.

3. Low frequencies are very difficult at the necessary length scales with electric fields, so they used the magnetic field instead.

So far, so good. But then they assumed that the person would never be next to a magnet? That's a design flaw on their end, not the iPhone's. There's magnets, and low moving large currents, everywhere!

The should have implemented a primitive type of port knocking.
There are already a lot of individual discussion points on whether this approval is "good" or "bad" on either different levels of abstraction or at different layers of the arguments.

Do you think it's possible for us to construct good faith for and against debate in a forum like this or do we need a better tool to demonstrate nuance?
Here’s a very relevant 99% Invisible podcast episode about trees, shade, and plenty about Los Angeles: https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/shade/
On the contrary with the insurance profits capped at a percentage it is beneficial for them for the services to be as expensive as possible and patients to have as many as possible claims.

They can just pass on the cost onto the consumer and raise their profits.
So because even senior programers can't do parallel-programming and handle threads then just simply use a webbrowser everywhere?

> No…

Yes. I don't need any micro-freezes.

> Are you seriously implying that C was not designed for large projects?

C was designed to move from asm to something highlevel. C made possible to write larger projects than in ASM. That's all. There is no absulute measurement of project size, only relative: larger->smaller. Go goes to "smaller" direction compared to C++.

All that arguments about safe/bugs etc is old. In modern C++ you write with no controlling memory allocation at all and you dont write your own arrays with can be overflown.
You go first! We'll give you 6 weeks training, and then you can go work in intensive care around infectious patients.
So i don't necessarily like OnlyFans and I think it's a dangerous game to play for contributors. That said, why are payment processors deciding which businesses get to exist? I understand that the fraud rate is higher than normal, but how high is it? Could it not be handled by a higher than normal transaction fee?

It bothers me that they have the power to shut businesses based on what appears to be their own subjective moral code. If a website is shutdown for any reason it should be due them breaking some law, not the payment processors feelings.

Regulation should passed to stop this from happening. While a lot of people may agree with their actions so far, it shouldn't be their decision to do this.
MQTT looks interesting, do you have links to simple implementation of the protocol? I often find simple (even if partial) implementations of protocol a better documentation than the complete specifications.
PI/6 is not rational.
In any debate outside of clubs you assume you're right and the other person is wrong - otherwise you'd change your mind.

What the question your parent poses can do is get to the root of the objection your conversation partner has. "What would make you change your mind" forces the conversation in the direction of uncovering the true source of the disagreement. It helps to avoid talking about "symptoms" or issues that you might find important but are not important to your partner. It helps avoid talking past each other. It helps identify what issues are important to the other person.

Instead of calling them comments (which to me are very much not interpreted) maybe make "documentation" a first class object of the language instead?
They don't even need to buy the device, they just need something presenting that PID/VID.

> in Italy 112

Did you introduce the EU emergency number as the national one? If so - good choice.

In France we have the plethora of numbers (15, 17, 18 - I actually do not know what 16 does), and also 112.

We are still teaching "18" as the primary number (you get the firemen who will either come for a fire, or for an accident, or dispatch). We could go for 112 (and keep the older number for a generation, redirecting them to 112) and not rely on people to know which number to call.

UPDATE: I just asked my 17 yo son which number he would call in an emergency and he said 112. So there is hope :)

If you are talking about scenarios where full disk encryption is not enabled, then that is irrelevant. You may as well say that privilege escalation is trivial because some users don't put passwords on their account. The user obviously needs to take care of the basic expectancies first before worrying about vulnerabilities.
You've answered why the government guaranteed purchases of the vaccine & why production was parallelized. That doesn't answer the question why this changes the FDA authorization flow because in the flow chart EUA & full approval happen at roughly the same time & the claim is they have the same safety requirements profile (i.e. I am free to burn money & produce something someone doesn't buy - why would the FDA be involved).

Said another way, what was the extra steps that needed to happen between EUA & full approval?
> You choice was to fund therapeutics that cure the disease, or try to enforce mandates. You chose wrong, now you live with the choice.

You do know that there's a ton of investment going into curing Covid, right? But you can't just "magic" a cure out of thin air.

The dictionary defines a minor as "a person under the age of full legal responsibility" which I think teenagers would still fall under, even in Australia?

Understandably the term might be used differently or more loosely elsewhere.
Unfortunately, this isn't just a question of how much governments should interfere, but the manner in which they should.

Some analogue to eviction rights is a fantastic idea. But the political winds are trending sharply in the other direction, pushing more responsibility onto services for aggressive enforcement of what people say or do on their platforms.

In an ideal world, the guilty would be rapidly and firmly dealt with while the innocent would be protected, but this is a million miles from the reality of how enforcement at scale works. It's a game of false positives vs false negatives, and we've recently been steering hard in the direction of diminishing user protections.

If I hadn't paid attention for the last ten years, it'd be astonishing that begging for corporate overlords to be more heavy-handed was coming from the _left_, of all places.

I mean, OPs idea was silly beyond belief. Even the socialists dont say: "The only person who can profit from this are the capitalists (necessarily) who first build this. The buyer can't make a profit from the re-sale".

I met a builder once that you probably have never heard of. He is a billionaire. He can profit from the sale of homes, but my parent's can't? Never mind that the tripling of the price of my parent's home over the last 22 years was driven by silly economic policies. Otherwise the house would have appreciated maybe 50%.
It depends. I'm always on the lookout for a better mouse for use in CAD on Linux. I've mostly settled on the Logitech Anywhere 2S, because it does "just work", but this is hardly a universal opinion. At least within my workplace.

I've found basically all mice will work if all you want is scroll and left, center, right buttons. But if you want all the extra stuff, like the various wheels and side buttons etc., and especially if you want to customize the response, which CAD people often do, then one often needs the driver.

I'm not really sure what point you're trying to make here.

If the linux version is Electron-based, ALL versions will be electron based. That's the whole point.

If you'd rather not use electron based software, more power to ya - that's your choice. But lets admit that's a luxury that some of us don't have - I'm a hell of a lot happier spinning up slack as an electron app rather than having to run it in a vm, I promise you that much.
You can configure an Android phone to use arbitrary device/product IDs like this.
It is my understanding that simply waiting for a longer time would not have helped. This side effect did not come much later after the vaccination, but only in very rare cases, which is why it took some time to notice it. Considering how many people we vaccinated with the Covid vaccines, we should have seen (and have seen, with myocarditis, trombosis) such rare side effects. Plus, it is likely that the disease itself would have a similar effect on patients, because it is an interaction of the immune system with the nervous system. The vaccine itself is cleared from the body within weeks, after all, so it's not like medicine that is taken over a long period of time and can build up.

So what you need is not longer trials, but trials with more people. Which is what is done in so called phase 4 trials after approval.
Here is a mirror,

It's grossly unfair to say that someone who doesn't want a Covid vaccine is antivaxx. There are a plenty of legitimate reasons one might not get the covid vaccine.
I don't see why criticizing BLM automatically makes something racist. BLM has alot to be criticized for, but i'd think most of it is not really tangential to the virtue of its anti-racist cause. MLK also cheated on his wife, and its fine to criticize him for that, but that doesn't make his other efforts invalid.

I searched about the Chicago shooting deaths, and i don't see how it makes any point for or against BLM?

And, even if BLM is selectively in what they care about. Aren't they allowed to?

I feel like i got between the fronts of for-BLM and against-BLM groupthink.
We already have self driving vehicles which can do this.
I'm not saying all of anything is anything else. Maybe we'll have to agree to disagree.

The notion of "anti-Irish racism" in the UK or USA, or "anti-Polish racism" in Ireland, is widely accepted enough for me to believe that the definition I'm used to isn't unreasonable.
The Future of Work in the Metaverse
Triple health insurance premiums for people who refuse to vaccinate, like car insurance companies do when you get caught driving drunk. We can keep our precious "bodily autonomy" while still making sure reckless behavior is costly.
> Interesting that the "my body, my choice" crowd has gotten super quiet on this particular issue.

Not really interesting, since abortion does not affect others whereas a transmissible virus does.
You also see non-devs saying Electron is fine, and if the complaints were considered is not something you can really tell. Few people deciding against Electron are going to loudly broadcast that "we were thinking about Electron", and if you consider it and decide it's worth it for you despite downsides, well, you are the "bad guy"(TM) anyways.
Maybe there should be a UI setting in browsers like "Make everything dark" or "Use dark version by default if a site has it" — to have a clear signal for sites with dark theme option about user's preferred choice.

But the current situation likely has a body count as well.
Yeah, smoking is just about the only thing the insurance companies are legally allowed to upcharge for. That’s one of the main reasons Obamacare was passed in the first place.

The whole reality is now completely dystopian. We have people calling for denying healthcare to people who took “my body, my choice” as a right, because they voluntarily chose to not take the vaccine. However, these same people would be completely appalled by the idea of letting a drug addict die on the street from overdose, even though it is also a result of their voluntary choice to take drugs. The very same people who call for denying people things like a right to eat at a restaurant or get groceries without vaccine passport, claim that requiring ID to vote is a violation of civil rights, and all that despite the fact that black Americans are least vaccinated group in US. Total insanity.
I visited the article's linked tweet and the author's retweeted a product mention called OMG cable, that can do this (a product that looks like a normal USB cable but has things like okeylogging capabilities)
This came to mind for me as well, as it's something I landed on in the past for managing UGC. The primary benefits being a decent api and administrative interface for moderation. It's certainly not perfect, but there's not a lot of competition in the space that I could find. I think most devs lean towards DIY.
It will be interesting to see if those cases result in many deaths. Typically when viruses mutate they become less deadly, so there's a chance these new cases won't have nearly as negative an outcome as the previous waves. The data is still coming in, but initial numbers look like a negligible amount of deaths compared to their historical numbers.
Good luck with it when your mouse downloads all your photo library and send it to government, soon.
I think it’s fair to say that when people say something like “HN says” or “HN thinks”, they are asserting that a large majority of the comments take a particular side of an issue. Sure, there are many readers who don’t comment, but if they think very differently from the commenters, then they should speak up, because otherwise they don’t really count as part of the conversation.

Clinical trials are the alpha.

Emergency Use Authorization was the beta, and like Gmail's, probably went on far longer than it really had to stay in that state.

Full approval is the stable.

Being on an older Mac OS is also unlikely to get me killed.
> No doubt this will be the case for some. So, you've found a logical flaw in people's stated reasons for not wanting a vaccine. How does that help anything? In these kinds of debates, the actual goals or beliefs of both sides often differ from what they say.

This line of thought leads to the sentence immediately following the one you quoted: if there are a large percentage of people who were hesitant due to sincere safety concerns, the mountain of data showing that the vaccines are low-risk will translate into more of them getting vaccinated but if they're motivated by factors which are not affected by scientific data then the primary mechanism for ending the pandemic will be the kinds of requirements which are made possible by full approval. That either gets people vaccinated or removes them from many contexts where they pose risk to everyone else.

Right now there are a lot of concerns raised about vaccine safety on political and social media. Some of those are devout anti-vaccination activists but I believe that they are still a relatively small fraction of the hesitant. When not being vaccinated comes with a direct personal cost we'll see how sincere those beliefs are.
Do you believe that society should be unable to impose medical requirements on individuals, or that this case doesn’t warrant it?
Because the covid vaccine is not the first vaccine to be mandated.
> there are significant areas over 95% ICU capacity

It's not like there is any large ICU capacity anywhere anyway.
> Do you think it's possible for us to construct good faith for and against debate in a forum like this or do we need a better tool to demonstrate nuance?

I think it's fair to say forums like this are falling flat on their face in terms of productive debate.

Maybe something that DRYs the topics, and can recognize where your current thought falls into the levels of abstraction, and from there provides contextual paths to both broader and more nuanced arguments.
The, uh, tone of your comment suggests that there is this epidemic of obese people who simply have neglected to press the STOP BEING OBESE button. "All you have to do is ..." "Can't you just ..." In technology, we hate hearing that from people who do not have a grasp of the situation -- why are you doing it here?

> Hope you're doing better now after the ICD!

Thank you! I'm just 60 and was (I believed) in good health. My VF episode was a glitch in my heart's conduction cycle, and the various tests I received show that my heart is physically healthy. So I feel 'perfectly okay' apart the almost dying thing. My biggest health issue now is the cracked risks from the superbly enthusiastic CPR I received, but the pain from coughing and moving awkwardly is a small price to pay.
I think 70% was part of the original messaging based on general epidemiology statistics.

It was probably updated once we found out more about Covid-19 Alpha, and later for Delta.

That's plausible. Thanks!
> Streamlabs OBS is a fork of OBS Studio with an added Electron wrapper.

Somehow this is the first time that I'm learning that OBS has a documented internal interface that can be separated from its UI at all, let alone imported into other projects. It's not really Streamlab's product that makes this interesting, so much as that there are a number of other scenarios where it might be nice to build a tool around OBS without building an extension into the app itself.

https://obsproject.com/docs/backend-design.html

I'm kind of curious now to see what would be possible here. Maybe it would be overkill, but it would be interesting to try and get OBS's backend working as, say, a quick command line gif tool. OBS also supports setting itself up as a virtual camera, which is really useful, but it's a little cumbersome to manage that through the UI itself, maybe a smaller wrapper would be more useful. Or even if it's possible to embed libobs and use it headlessly on a Raspberry Pi with a couple of webcams as the source.

Maybe people have already done this stuff and I'm just out of the loop.

1. Makes sense, I think the criteria would be hitting the homepage and updated the form to reflect that.

2. I'm not anticipating a summary of comments, just of the article.

3. I agree that getting the summary quickly (at most one hour after hitting the homepage) is essential. We can even consider looking at the top 50 and making summaries before they hit the homepage. The first person doing this might not able to make one for every homepage article but if it is a success we can scale up later.

To be fair, we've been shooting mRNA into people for medical research since about 1992. Early attempts were for gene therapy, but the approach has been abandoned because the mRNA breaks down so quickly. Beyond that, the mRNA is telling your cell to produce structural proteins. We've been using structural proteins in vaccines for AGES. Random bits of structural proteins are circulation around your body, being broken down, recycled, and eliminated as waste all of the time. There's no reason to believe that this structural protein is dangerous by itself.

I can't figure out what these vaccines do that could even have long term effects beyond getting your immune system to recognize the protein.

Did the microservices introduce so much complexity because they were built on some complex "microservice stack"?

How would you think about a simple approach to microservices based on http requests? Say we have an application that resembles Twitter and want to split the "messages" functionality off the main codebase. We could run all "messages" functionality on a different server. Served by a completely different codebase. When the user asks for a url below /messages/ we simply do a "GET messageserver.com/messages/...?uid=<userid>" get the result, put it into the template we are rendering at the {messages} placeholder and output the page to the user.
