> That would probably be an improvement over how things go now. The issue is even if public sentiment across a nation is a strong majority like 60%, 40% is still a huge number of people, and different people have somewhat different values depending on where they are.

Oh I agree...but I'm not even making a claim that this will affect change, I am simply suggesting that broad increased awareness of ~true public sentiment (as opposed to largely baseless *claim of public sentiment that we are fed on TV) would be interesting, and maybe even useful. I believe it would decrease the level of delusion in society.

> What I wish we could do is let’s say the federal government says in accordance with majority sentiment, masks are required for children in school. The state of Texas though has the ability to override it or leave it in place, but then the city of Austin could then override what Texas overruled and so on. I don’t know something where the will of more people is being followed.

I'm not opposed to this in principle, but I am leery of claims of "in accordance with majority sentiment" under the current mode of measurement, and information distribution that precedes polling. I believe the whole system is rotten.

No, but it can make them visible and willing to be treated. If people cant afford private health care or are unwilling to travel long distances or wait for a long time on a public health waiting list, they might just put up with being untreated. This is quite common for things like joint replacement or chronic dental issues.

"Tomato sauce" is a very ambiguous term, and pizza sauces are not necessarily cooked. Just open a can of crushed tomatoes (or crush them yourself) and stir in some salt, olive oil and whatever other seasonings you want (garlic, oregano, etc.). That is pizza sauce. That's what it looks like in the picture being talked about.

I have a tungsten wedding ring and the weirdest thing about it is how it bounces (on the occasions when it’s flown out of my hand - I don’t make a habit of doing so normally).

It’s dense/heavy so seeing it bounce so well is somewhat paradoxical.

One reason the vaccines target the spike protein is that it's how the virus breaks into human cells.

Exactly -- if the rate of change is as high as they state -- from 10% to 30% of people in a little over a century -- it seems it would be essentially impossible for it to be the result of natural selection or genetic change.

As you say, the obvious explanation is hormonal/environmental factors.
> So you really think there is no connection between housing politics and segregation?

That is not what I said.

> Of course people try to cheat the system, but it is illegal ... and tenants paying illegally high rents can take the contract owner to court and get all excess rent back.

Yeah but that never happens. All parties involved have interest in making it stay in the shadows. They don't pay illegally high rents, they pay normal rents but buy the contract to live there in the first place. A LOT of people is doing that, because the queues are impossible.

> This has nothing to do with rent control and depends on which BRF you live in. Considering the lack of interest for äganderätter I'm not sure if so many people are with you on this opinion.

The biggest reason why there is a lack of interest is because of loans. Builders take out massive loans on every new BRF, as much as they can which makes the new BRF sensitive for economic shifts.

Yes but basically all large BRFs have rules that say that you can only rent out your apartment for 6-12 months at a maximum time. They also need to vet the one your renting out to and can say no. If you have a bad relationship with the BRF, they can mess with you easily.

Yeah, this is probably a different kind of "hard work" than what the author is talking about. There's some people who work hard for the sake of results (hitting certain numbers, clearing tickets/stories, etc).

There's a different sort of hard work involved in achieving deep mastery over something. Reading, researching, building and testing ideas... it takes hard work to become an expert at something, but I guess you're far more likely to see the former type of hard work than this.

I'm intrigued by the need for what looks like server hardware monitoring that is needed in a vehicle?
At my work (A university) We setup a TIG stack to monitor IT systems and then one of our facilities management people saw it and we got chatting. We have just setup a POC to pipe metrics out of multiple proprietary building management systems into a single Grafana dashboard.

We've also updated all our tender documents for future projects to include a requirement that we can query metrics and logs through an API or direct DB access.

A recent project I worked on identified over 500 applications whose only use is to provide monitoring to a bespoke system or tool. This isn't uncommon at a university as different faculties and departments will buy "the best tool for XYZ" without ever asking IT if perhaps there is a tool that is almost as good that we already have.
I'm sure they did. Thanks, Reddit strangers! One less apartment available to rent, but at least several internet users have more smug satisfaction.

If there is lots of housing in places where there used to be good jobs then there isn't a lot of housing because for practical purposes. It's the same as replying to the issue of poverty with there are N good jobs unfilled when N is some small fraction of the number of people in poverty.

It's trivially true that some can and in fact will climb out of poverty by accepting those N jobs and simultaneously true that most can't climb out of poverty via those jobs alone because multiple people can't accept the same position.

Most of the people who are on the edge of not being able to afford <insert city here> can't all move away into the suburbs let alone Detroit because they can't earn enough money for all the things that aren't cheaper and it would cease to be cheaper as soon as collectively chose to do so. It is only cheap because its undesirable.

>In light of the biological evidence supporting the theory that SV40-contamination of polio vaccines could contribute to human cancers, the committee recommends continued public health attention in the form of policy analysis, communication, and targeted biological research.

Come on – this is just the standard ass-covering language in a scientific paper. "Further research is needed." By the nature of the case it's very hard to conclusively show that no-one has ever had a cancer caused by a 1960s Polio vaccine. But at present there is no good evidence that this has happened, as the paper that you linked to states very clearly.

Any medication can contain contaminants. I do not understand why you think that the mere abstract possibility that any given vaccine might contain contaminants is relevant to COVID vaccination efforts. This is like cautioning against people taking Aspirin because any given Aspirin pill might contain contaminants.

Real estate shouldn't be an investment. Just let people own the homes they live in. Everything else should be well-regulated perhaps even by government monopoly (e.g. first hand contracts in Sweden, or council houses in the UK).

The entire reason we have such issues is because housing has become such a popular investment.
I was curious, so I looked up the actual law in the US.

It doesn't fall under fair use, as that only covers the use of small portions of a work for a very limited set of uses.

But you might be right. It really depends on whether playing something over the phone is considered a retransmission of a broadcast, whether it's considered the creation of a broadcast, or whether it's considered a single performance.

Section 110 subsection 4:

(4)performance of a nondramatic literary or musical work otherwise than in a transmission to the public, without any purpose of direct or indirect commercial advantage and without payment of any fee or other compensation for the performance to any of its performers, promoters, or organizers, if—

(A)there is no direct or indirect admission charge; or...

And under section 101, 'Definitions':

To perform or display a work “publicly” means—

(1) to perform or display it at a place open to the public or at any place where a substantial number of persons outside of a normal circle of a family and its social acquaintances is gathered; or

(2) to transmit or otherwise communicate a performance or display of the work to a place specified by clause (1) or to the public, by means of any device or process, whether the members of the public capable of receiving the performance or display receive it in the same place or in separate places and at the same time or at different times.

So - you're all good if you're just playing music for your friends at home.

But I can't find anything at all regarding taking a work and turning it into a limited transmission embodying that work, other than the code generally saying that broadcasts to the public must be licensed.

Anyway, while this was a fascinating exercise, I haven't actually come up with a solid answer. I take back my initial statement of "yeah that's against the law" and replace it with "...that might be against the law?" :)
Because it's very complicated and fussy (no HTTP API client framework has K5 built in) and, if you're going to force your clients to use a nonstandard authentication protocol, you can do better than Kerberos. A private CA, mTLS, and an authenticated role-based certificate issuer probably does a better job across the board. Facebook talks a little bit about the tradeoffs here in the paper linked to the post; note that they could have used K5 instead of CATs, and the stuff that CATs does is in some ways a response to the limitations of K5.

So are you saying "If your opinions are anywhere right of woke, you get banned straight up." is an incorrect statement?

The last comment tried to shift the goalposts from being "banned straight up" to being suppressed through voting. Now you're trying to shift to a sometimes ban... there's also talk about not banning the people on the extreme right or not banning the "idiots" so they make the right look bad.

Again, I'm not going to try to hit a moving target.

The rest of your comment looks like it's trying to push the conversation off topic.

I'm neither asking for anecdotes nor looking for a diatribe about your experience on Slack. A specific claim was made about censorship in a particular subreddit. I've heard that claim before, but never seen it substantiated in any way.

Can you substantiate the claim?

A 10mm cube of Iridium weighs ~21.9g. And from this source, costs $9000.

From the same source, a single gram is only $275. This means that due to the difficulty in working with this very dense metal, the cost of turning the Iridium into a cube is nearly $3000 (on top of the ~$6000 for the metal itself)!
I'm sure the larger platforms do have more focus, although that isn't mutually exclusive with the notion that resources are still allocated to HN.

The mandate of these units probably dictates they go wherever the discussion happens to be, especially if that discussion runs contrary to the objectives of the unit's host country.

Anecdotally, I've never experienced more rapid, clustered downvotes than in these threads. Certain keywords tend to be magnets for downvotes, regardless of how tame, well-written, or factual the comment is—to a degree that doesn't square with far more controversial opinions expressed in unrelated threads.

It's a rather chilling effect, or at the very least discouraging via way of annoyance.
> Norway, Denmark and Finland all have no rent control

Norway does not, not sure about Finland, but Denmark definitely has a form of rent control. There are ceilings on rent that will be determined by appeal to a local rental board. There are exceptions however, anything built from 1992 and onwards, as well as some different rules for units that have undergone major renovations.

If you're only thinking about the already-there population, no. But many hospitals have patients that travel to get there.

Building a Mayo Clinic hospital in Arizona results in more sick people traveling there for care than otherwise would have.

Seems like there are some natural ways this could cause a loop. Now we hire more doctors and train more new specialists. That burnishes the reputation even more. Now more people want to come!

(One thing to note is that it's generally always a localized increase, not an absolute one. The people living in the new suburbs that you built a new shiny road to still would've lived SOMEWHERE in the country. You didn't increase that country's total demand for transit. You just redirected it into "road transit from this particular suburb" from wherever it would've gone in the absence of building that suburb.)
We could always debate the value of debate ;)

The UI is getting worse, as they overload existing UI elements with new functionality. On mobile, they replaced the "recent mentions" button with a "stages" button (I don't use stages), making it harder to look for recent mentions just to promote their Clubhouse clone. On desktop, they replaced the "upload image" button with a button to open a "upload image or create thread" menu (I find Discord's implementation of threads to be half-baked, threads expire quickly unlike forum threads, you have to pay to reduce expiration, and they override server-wide mutes). You have to double-click to skip the menu.

Not to mention stuffing their UI with payment prompts left and right, showing emotes you can't use in the emote menu, replacing useful screen estate with "get nitro" and "boost servers" buttons.
> Optimizing compilers are usually used with flags that cause them to break IEEE754.

For languages that don't mandate IEEE-754. There are plenty of languages that do, like Java, JavaScript, C#, and WebAssembly.

It's worth noting that usually such optimizations are things like enabling algebraic reassociation and commutation (of primitives like +, -, /, ==, etc) operations, fused-multiply add, and others. It's really not clear to me how much disabling all those optimization costs in the real world.

Things get crazy when compilers want to do major reorganization of loops, optimizing stencils, polyhedral optimizations. I am not an expert here, but I think these rely on properties of float arithmetic that don't hold in all cases, i.e. they rely on UB.

> A third difference is that natural infection only exposes the body to the virus in the respiratory tract (unless the illness is very severe), while the vaccine is delivered to muscle, where the immune system may have an even better chance of seeing it and responding vigorously.

But the respiratrory tract is constantly exposed to the external world, wheras the muscles are typically protected by the skin... Therefore I find this fact counterintuitive.

I know that the observable properties of economic systems happen regardless of belief. It's just seriously strange to equate them with 'laws of nature'. Next thing you know someone is going to call something like the law of demeter a law of nature. Just sort of absurd, really.
Amazon, the Supply Chain part of it at least, has one of the best metrics systems I have ever seen in my life. Every metric is measuring something meaningful, each one is measuring a crucial process interface, each one is based on a simple calculation. Also most are measured in DPMO, looking at defects instead of things meeting expectations. The funny thing is, during my time metrics where presented, across all levels, in blunt, no chart, tables in a auto created PDF. And yet this is still light years ahead of everything else I saw, including fancy control towers.
Is the quality really improving though? People complain about how washing machines and other appliances last shorter these days, so that you buy/upgrade more often.

As for cars, a lot of the times they look so similar that you can't tell the brand at a distance. They were certainly more distinguishable decades ago. Today it's also the high-end mobile phones - they all look like the iPhone, which isn't bad per se, but if you can't innovate (or don't want to) that's mediocrity.
