I have a Logitech g305 and it definitely doesn't run at the full polling rate without the stupid G Hub software running. It's noticeably smoother once I launch G Hub. Does anyone know if 1000hz polling doesn't work with the standard HID drivers on Windows or something?
No, it's utterly insane.

Well, objects falling into a black hole can reach the singularity in a finite amount of time. So you're going to have to enrich these singular spacetime points with a lot of extra structure if you want whatever passes through them to still exist. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

To wit, you can imagine classical black holes as pulling whatever's near them into the future. The effect is so severe when you pass the event horizon that escaping the black hole amounts to traveling backwards in time. The effect is so severe when you reach the singularity that the entire timeline of the universe is in your past. So the singularity itself is more like an infinitely distant future than a point in space, with the caveat that the black hole slings you toward it with enough acceleration that you either actually reach it or something about this classical picture breaks down.
Because they're fouling up everything for everybody else. Where I live (Oregon) if I were to get hit by a car and need an ICU bed, odds are I'd be put on a stretcher in a hall somewhere. All the ICU beds are filled with unvaccinated people denying that they have Covid.
>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.

It is not coming from the left. Liberals, left and right leaning, are demanding corporations take responsibility but the _left_ are not liberals (in fact, go to any leftist message board and ask them what they think of liberals.)

It is actually a very famous controversy in physics between Hawking and Leonard Susskind.

This is the tradeoff of the Apple ecosystem. For most users the trade off is a no-brainer because they don't care about the theoretical concerns that, in expectation, do not apply to them. I mean, what is the probability of this technology causing an innocent user harm? 1/1,000,000 ? 1/10,000,000? 1/100,000,000?
You just spent an entire post dismissing someone as incorrect, but you did it in a very ambiguous way that makes it impossible to directly attack - you've created a motte and bailey where you can say "Well, I'm just suggesting that the assumption MIGHT be wrong" but you never actually entertain the possibility that it might be correct.

Why are you dismissing the possibility that you're doing violence? Why have you jumped on the first story that came to mind, instead of giving u a post that lists 5 other assumptions?

And why should I assume that someone creating a fuzzy, unaccountable attack against me is making any sort of effort to take my perspective in to account? If you were trying to take a perspective in to account, you'd actually address "this feels manipulative" instead of just dancing around and insisting that there are alternative perspectives.

You can't completely ignore someone's perspective and then claim you're a good, empathetic listener! And if you can't see how that's manipulative, I'm not honestly sure I can help you.

"In adults, brown fat is primarily located between the shoulder blades and in the upper chest. Evidence suggests we can increase brown and beige fat cells by exposing ourselves to cooler to cold temperatures for several hours daily and through intense exercise. These approaches also can prompt the beiging of white fat. Most of us probably have some combination of fat cell types: mostly white, less beige and even less brown, she says."

Does anyone have more info on this? How cold do you have to go and for how long?
Had to up-vote because this is hilarious, thanks for sharing. As a critique of evidence based medicine they've clearly demonstrated their point, but it's obviously philosophical and the tradeoffs of practical medical interventions are no where near as clear cut as the case of falling from the sky without a parachute.

I remember the first time I saw a friend's site made with Bootstrap, around 2011-2012. I was so impressed by his design skills!

For all of the flack that artists get, the "workaday" side of the arts (think orchestra members, studio musicians, professional theater casts and crews, film and cartoon studios) emphasize this like crazy. Talent can get you through an audition, but showing up reliably and on time, being comprehensively prepared, and performing at a consistently high level will keep you employed.
Yes - overengineering is a disease. As it is discussed extensively on here, most companies are not Google or Netflix.
Engineers usually opt for the most complex option, when there are multiple factors to consider - reliability, development time, is this massive setup cost worth the effort given our load, etc.
There's about 50 million kids under 12 in the US, so while that percentage looks small that's still ~150,000 kids going to the hospital. I believe the real percentage is probably a bit lower due to underreported infections, but it's worth remembering that even small percentages can have huge effects in a country with hundreds of millions of people.

i2p + tor is a great combo.
Points to a bigger problem. Imagine how many startups simply don't come into existence because the founders are stuck on life long H1B visas.

Or many times the founders simply can't even make it into the US even though they have much needed skills.

Skilled immigration into the US is much harder and way more uncertain than other nations. Massive amounts of paperwork (so much that you need a lawyer), lotteries, long wait times and in the end highly dependent on whichever immigration officer sees your application.

The way the discourse has evolved in the past two years is unbelievable. You see people deride fundamental concepts of democracy like freedom, the right to protest, and bodily autonomy.
> Frankly, I can't reconcile "data-centric" programming foundations that completely gloss over the dirty realities of bits and pointers--the real foundation of data and data structures.

"Bits and pointers" are not the real foundation of data. It's voltages, chips and the chemistry & physics that support them.

Being serious though, all computing is an abstraction. Use the appropriate abstraction for your domain. If your domain isn't directly how the data is stored then don't start with the physics, chemistry, chips, pointers and bits.

The replies I received are mostly insufficient or very handwavey.

Interactions with humans transmitting the Delta variant, in very extreme (NB shortest) cases need upwards of 50-60 seconds, where common transmissions need longer. Which suggests that people need quite long 1-1 interactions with multiple animals to spread it, which to me appears very unlikely.

This belief is based on research that supported that covid was unlikely to happen until the first super-spreader event in the wet market.

Furthermore, given the symptoms observed in humans, if we are to assume similar symptoms in the wild animals, then odds are these animals become easy(er) pray, which reduces odds of mass transmission. Finally, even if wild animals spend a lot of time in 'close proximity', they are constantly out-doors and in much larger distance than humans sitting in public transport, which suggests there are super-spreader "events" or viral-sources that dump virus particles on wild animals and allow the virus to enter the population.

So I do agree that there may be something we are overlooking, perhaps related to waste-water, but this is why I am asking. Even if it doesn't matter anymore wrt covid, it matters for the future.

As for the people that misinterpret the noun 'option' accompanied with the adjective 'permanent', they need to understand that the ability for those willing to WFH, will help deal with covid, reduce road congestion, gas emissions, time wasted in commute, and ease measurements. I am not advocating for permanent lockdowns or anything alike. But it is common knowledge that flu infections have reduced significantly, and masks can help deal with smog in cities, as is done in cities in Asia.
When you get an ICD, they explain all of this to you. Even before the recent warning about iPhone 12's, they explained how the device interacts with magnets and to avoid them.
The first ~thirty days after 9/11 were full of negotiations with the Taliban as they weren't terrorists but harboring terrorists. Even after the invasion, they could have labeled it as the Taliban agreeing to help bring Bin Laden to justice and they would have been able to save face.

Hell, it might have helped prevent Bin Laden's flight into Pakistan, and have been a tremendous PR victory.

I don't personally think multi-device will ever be solved in a satisfactory way in XMPP. Like IRC, the whole architecture is fundamentally based on relaying messages. This works great for desktop computers, but as you add more devices with more intermittent connectivity, it breaks down quickly as you need to resort to hacks like sending deltas to other devices as carbon copies, which may or may not be delivered or interpreted correctly by clients. To solve it you need to fundamentally rethink your protocol not as one that relays messages, but synchronizes history. This is extremely hard to do without breaking backwards compatibility as you basically need to rearchitect every part of the stack. Matrix is a notable open messaging standard that does this and although it has it's flaws, multi-device experience is not one of them.

I'd definitely welcome XMPP making improvements in this area, but I'm not personally optimistic it can be done in time considering the generally dwindling userbase.

Ok well, frankly, I wrote this because I didn’t quite get the author’s point. To begin, military officers do not choose their team. I elaborated on the situation in order to highlight the situational differences between choosing startup cofounders and being put on a military team. I may have put this in an idealized form, but I think it is a bit closer to reality than most civilians would expect, at least in combat operations.

P.S. I should also mention that I have zero clue what YC is like in present or past form, so I couldn’t competently draw a direct comparison, instead inviting the reader to make their own.
Here's another interesting one I heard from a friend, pharmacist at CVS (and I have no source for it, so take what you will): Apparently, they no longer stock the J&J. Less efficacious, issues in production, sure whatever, that's not the biggest reason.

The biggest reason is: J&J's biggest advantage early on was how much cheaper it is. One shot, simpler manufacturing process (which they've screwed up several times anyway, granted), it would be the one to get widely distributed because the cost-per-fully-vaccinated individual is far lower.

The issue is, the government is paying for all this, and they write blank checks. CVS administers a Pfizer/Moderna; insurance or the government refunds (I'm told) $50. They administer a J&J, they get (again, hearsay) $10. Vaccination clinics are actively incentivized to stock the most expensive vaccines, because the profit per vaccine is higher. So, some have stopped stocking J&J (which, coincidentally, is the one vaccine I've heard many anti-vax people say they'd actually consider, as its kinda-sorta-not-really-but-good-enough more traditional. at least one person i've talked to has said 'well, i'd get the J&J, but the closest clinic that has it is 30 minutes away, so i just haven't gotten around to it').
Adults sacrifice for children. If children aren’t at risk, we have a moral obligation to let them be kids and live their short, once ever childhood.

Making kids protect adults by sacrificing their one and only childhood is morally bankrupt.

Also, adults have a vaccine… so they aren’t at risk either.
It’s important to give respect to jqueryui and bootstrap for defining the core ui components for the web all these years.
For the last xx years of ICDs, ~nobody with ICDs carried magnets in their pockets. So the body count of the 'current situation' is likely 0. Now that phones are ubiquitous and some are including magnets powerful enough to interfere, there's a new issue.

Do you mean forced non-anomymity to the provider so every time you block them they need a new phone number to contact you again?

Figuring out the right combination of G-lines to get some bastard to stay out on IRC is a bit trickier, certainly, but I'm sufficiently stubborn that even the worst of the harassers I've been chasing down for users have given up before I have.
Health systems operate by prioritizing, via an imperfect system, patients based on need. If you run a red light and slam into another car, but you're more injured than the other person, you will be prioritized even though you were culpable. I think that is the appropriate, ethical, and practical approach.

However, the calculus changes when the health system is at or over capacity. Now, if two people come in and both are critically ill, but you only have room for one, I'm ok with choosing the one that was vaccinated. Likewise with many other situations and illnesses. If you cause a car accident, and both you and the person you hit require the ICU, but there is only one spot open, I'm ok with the person that got hit getting the spot.

Now, I'm assuming you are jaded like me and know that actual answer is probably the person with the most money tends to get the treatment, but that's another bitter, cynical discussion.
> * But, of course, many deaths were undercounted; especially those who died before seeking medical care, or before testing was widely available.

Yeah, so I went with the stats we did have data for. I didn't speculate since I'm not omniscient and that's ignorant at best, disingenuous at worst. Both COVID cases and deaths are under-reported.

> Drunk driving is far, far, far more common than the arrest rates would suggest. Like, its actually insane how common drunk driving is. Cops are not gods. They do not catch everyone. One million people were arrested in 2016 for drunk driving; its likely that 50 million+ people drove above the legal limit in that same year, multiple times each.

The link I gave called out that 111M people self-reported drunk driving. That's an unreliable stat, so I went with the arrest rate which is a known quantity.

I wasn't "convinced" of anything. I chose the closest stats that we can get, which are definitely NOT perfect. What real-world data is "perfect"? Only when systems are self-reporting is data even close (e.g. latency, HTTP status counts, etc) and even those can be wrong due to log loss, servers failing, networks failing, etc.

You work with the data you have, and try to make informed decisions, instead of wildly guessing.
US advisors were delusional, that seem to be sure now.

I mean, I agree with that logic, theoretically. Theoretically, if you know you will loose in 2 years, it is better to not fight and hope your treatment will be better as result.

But, groups did hold up and fought lost or seemingly lost wars. It is not just that they logically concluded it is all helpless and gave up. That does not seem to be the only or primary factor here.
>Everyone can make their own decisions, but can everyone give an introductory lecture? Perhaps the 250 attendees can decide if they want to be there in person or remotely, why would you remove that choice from the person giving the lecture?

How am I removing that choice? Did I say anywhere they were not allowed to host it virtually if they chose to do so? The only one removing choices is the individual that decides they don't want anyone in person.

>Sounds like you are equating your experience with everyone. Not everyone has access to the vaccine, not everyone is able to work remotely, some people have to interact with the public as part of their job. Perhaps try looking at things from the perspective of people who are less fortunate than yourself.

Every reason you listed here only supports NOT locking down. Everyone in the US does have access to the vaccine. I am looking at it correctly, you're the one that wants people not to work by locking down everything. What's your solution? Wait until everyone gets it, which will never happen?

The irony in calling me the selfish one. I'm not making anyone do anything here. Exactly how is telling everyone they must do something not selfish? Anyone supporting more lockdowns/masking at this point is only doing it for themselves and no one else.
But XMPP is federated, not point to point?

It depends what you mean by centralizes. I can buy an SSL certificate from any number of companies.

All of these comments following the pattern "I'm vaccinated but [insert vaccine hesitancy content here]" sound quite a lot like the "I'm a democrat but [insert pro-trump content]" comments that abounded in the last cycle.

I can't seem to get on board with the new hotness like Tailwind and whatever else the cool kids are using these days.

I tried tailwind in a couple of projects. The dependency on PurgeCSS seems to cause all kinds of problems - either with the build tools or cause some unexpected bugs because I have the additional responsibilities of keeping track of which classes won't be caught by the parser for whatever reason.

I noted this mentally only a few hours ago. I commented on HN, using as a metaphor "Universal health care provided by the State: [you cannot abuse it, as a common good - ] if you drink soda, you lose entitlement for your diabetes to be treated at the same cost". Then I added, "stretched example". Then, thinking it more properly, it is not that stretched...

Those under the FDA do not have that social constraint (free healthcare), to others it is a reality (with responsibilities etc.). And in a way, like in the context of insurance, different personal histories are relevant. Job related health consequences? Unforeseeable consequences? Jamesdean consequences? Not the same.

While the pandemic has made us more aware of the possibility of better/safer retail models, self-checkout is definitely a step in the better/safer direction.
The front-end web realm was really eager for some sort of standardized way of doing things. Every project prior to Bootstrap required revisiting styles and starting from scratch or creating an internal Bootstrap-like base that would be used, which meant very little of that would be carried between jobs for employees. This is also probably why the early days of Angular and React were so unstable; mass adoption through different versions which were still finding a stable approach to iterative evolution.
Hospitals, ERs, and ICUs are not full in Texas, Florida, or Colorado. They never were.

All those field hospitals that were stood up in 2021 across the US have been torn down because they were not needed.

I don't know about you, but it looks more to me like all we are seeing is the breakdown of crony-capitalism. It's not a coincidence that the vaccines are some of the most profitable medical products ever produced.

I've met quite a few other people who don't react well to NVC, so it seems at least worth giving NVC the caveat that it doesn't work universally.

I'm not really sure what the difference is, but I expect tact filters (https://www.mit.edu/~jcb/tact.html) probably play a big role. In particular, NVC seems fanatically about "speaker needs to apply tact", and geek culture is often deeply rooted in "listener needs to apply tact". That's just me guessing in the dark based on anecdotes, though.
