I'm gonna assume you are not really informed about current (US) special forces equipment usage (i.e. the ones who regularly perform h2h combat). This particular item has been issued since something like 2004 to various units. In fact a few years ago there was a scandal in the Seal teams where a CO liked to ask his soldiers if they "had got blood on their hawks". I'm sure you can find some references, if you can be bothered.
Sort of.

It's a cocktail of vaccines against the expected dominant strains based on data of strains in the opposite hemisphere because it mutates too quickly to produce a targeted vaccine against any specific strain before it arrives.

But I believe they can develop the vaccine fresh as new strains arrive, as well as reuse previous vaccine strains.
The potential health problems are unknown. For example, we are assuming that Myocarditis/Pericarditis is extremely rare, or at least more rare than in a viral infection. Do we really know that, for all age groups and all vaccines? I have doubts, we are still in the discovery phase:

The spike protein is not necessarily a problem, but both NLP and viral vectors have never been rolled at the current scale. TTS seems to be particular to viral vectors, Myocarditis/Pericarditis more so to NLP.

The energy use is of captured energy that would be lost in transport to other energy users, because it uses just as much energy or more to transport it.

This means that “renewable energy more than the output of Argentina was always being wasted for over a century every day because it was uneconomical to transport it”

Crypto mining has been unique in that it only needs power and housing to stay dry, low infrastructure, and doesn't need very good internet, compared to other large computational projects, or any other sector.

Okay, so we got the “ah it uses a lot of energy!” argument over to “ah okay its a relatively green sector compared to literally everything else but I don't respect the use in favor of literally everything else and this must be taking away from that” which is also not true so I’m curious how the goal post moves after this - assuming you are able to corroborate what I’ve told you at face value.

It would be more productive to advocate for specific sites to not raise prices for others if they did, or specific sites to use cleaner energy sources. I can understand how that could cause some consternation if your whole cause is not liking crypto mining at all. But it is important to remain vigilante on how these mining operations run, as it is possible for nation states to operate these uneconomically and actually do things that you imagine is happening now.

(Renewable and captured are not synonymous but usually its the same)
"But Sailfish is also not OSS. That is the problem."

I see this posted as a problem often, sometimes even "the" problem. I do understand it is a problem, but at the current moment there has been no better Linux phone then a Jolla or Sony with Sailfish.

So for people shying away from Sailfish, because it is not fully open source, I wonder what people use instead.

Is it an open source AOSP system (with probably binary drivers)? I would not trust that all Google stuff was removed from AOSP, I don't even trust it for Chromium. Or do people use Ubuntu Touch that is probably fully open source on some systems? Everything right now is a compromise. I do hope that it will change in the near future.

My main argument for the last 7 years was that I want a Linux phone in my pocket, that I can order today and use tomorrow. A Linux phone that serves me, with simple root access, ssh access, compiling apps and installing anything, messing about in /etc.
reminds me of a few old-ish horror movies I've seen, particularly from Japanese cinema, where the concept of a social contagion has been explored a few times. eg: Infection https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infection_(2004_film) or Suicide Circle https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_Club_(film)
to name a few.
Yes, a great current example is consumer motherboards with Intel’s I225V network controller. The controller is unable to run at 2.5Gbps without a fix. The controller was fixed in revision 3, but a huge number of boards are shipping with revision 2. This is two years after the issue was identified, and there is no way to see which one you will get. Even boards manufactured this year have the old NIC, so I assume vendors are being shady to liquidate old NIC stock.

So you get sold a motherboard with a 2.5X NIC slowdown compared to advertised (it gets downgraded to 1Gbps). Update the figure on the box if you’re going to do that!

Speaking as someone who used to be the main moderator for a country sub (albeit a smaller one), at a certain point you just go numb and stop justifying your actions (you still communicate it with other mods and they see your ban reason, not visible to the user).

In Sweden it _only_ applies to first-hand contracts. So I don't think NY is a good comparison here.

The main issue is that the government doesn't build enough. There are just nowhere near enough first-hand contracts, like not even the same order of magnitude.

They've effectively abolished the system by just never building any, much like council housing in the UK.

On that topic, are there any desktop-oriented Linux distros that support Android apps? Seems like that could fill some gaps in some places where a native Linux app sucks but an Android equivalent would be sufficient. (obviously in a few but perhaps not most cases)

Maybe emulation would be needed for most current machines and be really slow, but with more ARM laptops coming in the future it seems like something GNU/Linux would need to do to compete in that space.

To your first point, that's the third sentence of the article itself.

To your second, I struggle to see this as bashing. It's certainly not an objective comparison, but it is about as even-handed a comparison as I'd be willing to ask of a mere mortal when they're also personally invested in the subject. You don't see sentences like, "Pydantic is wrong!" you see ones like, "Pydantic is very opinionated about the things it does, and I simply disagree with a lot of its opinions," or, "I disagree with this. Un/structuring should be handled independently of the model." That's not bashing; that's constructive criticism. It's worth noting that he also acknowledges that Pydantic does some things better.

For my part, I think my only real complaint about this article is that he doesn't really pay enough attention to the fact that, despite their overlapping functionality, (c)attrs and Pydantic are optimizing for very different use cases. That leaves me thinking that some (though far from all) of his criticism has a certain, "This screwdriver isn't very good at driving nails," characteristic.

This to refer to my annoyance of browser makers leaving incomplete implementations stagnant for years.

As an example, the <dialog> element, a browser-native standardized spec as promising replacement for alert. Except that it doesn't work, it's inaccessible at its core.

And nobody fixes it, it's just left in this broken state forever.

<section>, the element that was supposed to cut up an HTML document into multiple outlines, hence making componentized SEO-optimized headings easy and better, do nothing at all.

CSS columns, a simple and easy way to distribute text, were unusable for 8 years because Mozilla refused to fix their own small bug. Which pales compared to the extraordinary amount of Webkit bugs that are absolutely never ever fixed.

Form controls, since the very invention of them, are terrible. It has cost the world billions, as worldwide every single developer and project has to reinvent some of them, often breaking basic accessibility in the process.

I could go on, but I'll sum it up as the failure to address extremely common real world problems, and to just let broken buggy solutions linger. When you accept a standard and implement it, bloody finish the implementation. Fix bugs. Otherwise, what is the point?

I'd call this hardening the web. There's no reason I can see why you can't harden it whilst also making progress on new features.

This is the exact opposite of what’s happening.

Because there’s so little cross pollination today everyone lives in a bubble. If your Facebook is full of right-wing stuff, you only watch Fox News and only listen to Larry Elder, you’ve got an echo chamber, breeding ground for radicalization.

The Australian government , throughout history has always had an element of paranoia to it, which I remember learning in history comes from being surrounded by neighbours who for the majority aren’t of European decent (feeling vulnerable), and being geographically far from the motherlands who would protect her if war broke out.

I think a lot of this fear remains to this day and drives a lot of these weirdo authoritarian, draconian policies.

Australia is like a child without her mum, scared of the dark and unknown.

While I know I'm an outlier, this has made me more interested in these devices. It's become almost impossible to find "smart" phones without cameras. I need to read my email, get directions and (unfortunately) us slack but that's about where my needs end. I don't like cameras. I don't want to be in front of them or be responsible for taking photos of things. (I find that my disinterest and my lack of skill makes them all pretty bad anyway, which is fine by me.) I've been known to physically remove them, if I have to replace batteries (I generally opt to fix them over buying new, until the software experience degrades due to becoming under powered for the updated experiences). I'd buy the smaller one (fold? flip?) if I could be promised that the camera would never work.

I don't think there's any requirement that manufacturers guarantee results of third-party reviews for the entire run of a product. it probably just has to meet the specs published by the manufacturer. as long as you still hit that burst read number with some insane queue depth, everything's cool.

the corvette example doesn't really make sense because the manufacturer provides their own 0-60 number. if no one can hit the manufacturer's number in ideal conditions, that's a problem. now if the manufacturer updates their official specs to 0-60 in 10 seconds, that would be pretty weird, but not illegal.

I remember a similar situation with RAM a few years ago. there was some highly sought-after die that could be overclocked way outside the official specs. you could buy a couple different examples of the same SKU and they would have wildly different overclocking limits based on the underlying die. eventually that die wasn't produced anymore, so no one got the insane overclocks. people were really unhappy about that, but at the end of the day, they were relying on behavior that was outside the promised specification.

> Price ceilings, like rent control, cause a shortage of supply

They don't have to. We've had price ceilings in the US in many places for over 60+ years without ever experiencing a shortage. (In my hometown, for example, education is price-capped, electricity is price-capped, water + sewer are price-capped, natural gas is price-capped. No shortages since the 1950s).

You just have to require reasonable regulations on the industry, and strictly enforce those regulations. Heavy Regulations + Price Ceilings is the magic combo for success, more or less.

It's really hard to estimate the sufficiency of construction visually. What we notice is a change from the past trend.

However what's needed is sometimes entirely disconnected from the past trend. Ask a lot of people in San Francisco, and they will say that there's been a huge amount of building of new apartments, even though they are nowhere close to matching the 2% growth rate of US population, much less the much higher growth rate that a thriving urban area needs to match the trend of people moving from rural areas to urban areas, or to match an increased preference for urban life over suburban life.
Well, yes, they could certainly try. But "happier and healthier in the long run" is much harder for them to measure than "has responded to instant gratification". It's much harder to A/B test effectively at longer time scales and make the ML model reinforce the right things.

But also, "healthier" might involve creating less engagement "content" for them to feed to others, lowering the network effects of the whole platform. And if they successfully go that route, they open a flank to anyone willing to just keep spiking blood sugar as much as possible (TikTok?). There's a reason McDonalds are still selling Big Macs, and it's not that they don't know what healthy nutrition looks like.
>It’s everyone else who suffers. Usually they have no choice but to move somewhere else or stay at home with parents

A lot like London without rent control then, but if rent control were implemented it would be the primary culprit for what's happening anyway?

Color me skeptical.

Seems to me it's the landlords that really "suffer". E.g. the SF landlords that paid a tenant hundreds of thousands to get them out ( https://apnews.com/article/lifestyle-business-san-francisco-... ). Rent control just decides whether the "spoils" of restricted supply go to landlords with the most capital or the renters who lived in the city the longest.

Hacker news cries bitterly about nimbyism (especially in SF) that restricts development to keep up property values and rents. Whom do they think is most incentivized to do that? Redirect those spoils to leveraged landlords and find out.

Well, I do have a job. I don't have complete control over what I use, since I'm not comfortable tenured/retired/living a life of leisure. There are tools I need to use. One of those was at 14gb when I was writing this message, so I could communicate with my coworkers.

For Bluetooth, I like a cheap set of headphones I bought for <$10 from some random Chinese seller. It's luck-of-the-draw, but these work well. People hear me well, and I hear them well. I don't need audiophile grade -- for that, I'd rather use my speakers. When the batteries die, I'll buy another set.

The nice thing about Bluetooth is that I can be gardening, cleaning, or otherwise keep my hands engaged during meetings. I find I focus a lot better if I'm not sitting at a computer.

I do have some fancier headsets for entertainment use, but those are not for work use. As a footnote, all the Bose headsets I've used have almost uselessly bad microphones.
