Just a heads up, a free TD Ameritrade account has a screener in the ThinkorSwim software that is like this and more robust with 15 minute delayed data.

There is plenty of room for differentiating features though.
Just to be clear, Bitcoin isn't creating any GPU demand now; mining ASICs are too good. Ethereum is also becoming ASIC-dominated, but being scrypt-based reduces the ASIC advantage.
That seems to be a concern with osmium powder, ground osmium, etc. I don't think that a cube has any handling requirements more exotic than lead solder.

Density is better for the environment and reduces housing costs which benefits poor people and minorities. The primary beneficiaries of the current arrangement are rich white landowners who in many cases pay virtually no property tax. Stable families are more than capable of thriving in multi-family homes, go anywhere in London or Paris to see for yourself.
Public transit. A bus lane will carry many more people more efficiently. Cargo and emergency vehicles can also use this lane if necessary. Dedicated bike infrastructure such as protected bike lanes can generally only be used by bikes and other small vehicles.
> I'm not sure what you mean by an unassembled bow here, or more specifically, what the bow is that you're referring to.

Throughout your responses, you've downplayed the nature of the on-device "scanner/analyzer/whatever" and have seemingly implied that because that one component is pretty innocuous on its own, it shouldn't be a big deal.

"The bow" here is the end-to-end solution Apple is implementing. The point I'm trying to make is that the on-device component must be judged based on how it interacts with the whole system and should not be downplayed just because it appears innocuous in isolation.

> I don't understand your question, and I don't fully understand your compromised position.

Generally speaking, E2E encryption means that the owner of the data holds the keys and nothing else can read that data except for the owner.

In the system we're discussing, any subsequent application of "E2E" encryption would be meaningless, because Apple stands between you (the first "E") and their servers (the second "E").
I've been building PCs since 1993 or so, never ran into this (though I remember losing a jumper a couple times!) Maybe the bugs were worked out by then. Generally I bought hard drives of the same brand, so that was probably it: no mixing and matching.
There may be no scientific reason but it would make focusing on mRNA vaccine exclusively look like a strategic mistake. The driving factor behind the approach is the belief that the encoded domain is essential to virulence. Immune escape from mutation would imply failure of that reasoning. Unfortunately other approaches that focus exlusively on a segment of the S protein would face the same challenges.
> The vaccines also lack a specific abnormal side effect that the infection may carry: risk of death and hospitalization.

This is well-intentioned but false. The vaccines can send you to the hospital (side-effects). It's rare but happens. Similarly, you can be vaccinated, get infected with SARS-2, and end up in the hospital, so it's not even true that they avoid hospitalization from SARS-2 itself completely. (They help a lot with hosp/death from the virus, to be clear)

> 32-bit floats are sufficient and desired for performance in many cases, like graphics or audio

I was googling this recently, when deciding whether to use floats or doubles in a simple game I was writing. Some answers suggested that (32-bit) floats aren't necessarily any faster in real-world applications on modern hardware. If you or anyone else feels like elaborating on this I'd be interested.
I am specifically considering removing traffic lanes on e.g. a bridge or a main thoroughfare in favor of bikes. This is common in New York where I live.

One particularly egregious example is removing a lane of traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge in favor of bikes. This is in my opinion an oppressive action in favor of the wealthy who live in downtown Manhattan and downtown Brooklyn.
I have no disagreement with this well reasoned statement.
… did you just respond to a statement about the reduction in morbidity and mortality from vaccines compared to infection with the virus… with a statement that says ‘use a vaccine?’
I feel like one perceptual problem with this polar plot is that the area under the excess deaths is misleadingly large - - it feels like the proportion of excess deaths is much larger than it really is, because the area between the 2020/21 line and 2018/19 line is almost as much area as under the 2018/19 line, even though the average ratio is (eyeballing) more like 20%.

> Using this kind of graph one can more easily see how changes year-to-year in total observed deaths have been affected by COVID-19.

It’s important to look at and account for the number of deaths directly attributed to COVID, isn’t it? Is there some discrepancy between the excess YoY deaths implied here and the number directly attributed to COVID? Also would be good to normalize per-capita, just to fully factor out population growth?

> Using total observed deaths, one can disregard the (mis)attribution of deaths to COVID-19 and more clearly see the failure of federal and state governments.

Out of curiosity, what are the misattributions and failures being referred to? Just confused a little since the source data is federal (CDC) and has this exact same graph showing the excess death rate this year, just on a horizontal plot.
Also, people lack intuition for just how much cars hog space.

Well I suppose one way or another the problem stops existing or stops being worth solving.
They're talking about the free ad-watching type users. It's been published by multiple creators that YT Premium is easily their biggest income stream but there's just very very few people willing to pay Premium (for most creators it's like 1-2% or less).

If YouTube made it more appealing to buy Premium, eg by letting you block sponsored segments, download videos easily, etc etc... everyone would win.
Can I ask how old your daughter is? Doing the nomad thing in cheaper, less developed countries seems a lot tougher to manage with kids, and even more so in the countryside. Gotta think about schools, pediatricians, dentists, finding play-mates for them, kid-friendly things to do, and so on. I'd be curious to hear about how you balance all that.
Most water usage is agricultural. And increasing density decreases per-capita water usage because there are fewer lawns to water per person.
Be careful out there. We got burned by a scam broker in HK:

- Establishes a physical address, might be an abandoned building.

- Sets up a web site with full catalog of parts offered, many hard to find. Might be an actual defunct business they are fronting to look authentic.

- Take orders, demand payment in advance.

- Operate without shipping anything (they don't have any inventory) until the police start poking around.

- Shut down and reincarnate in a new address, new domain, new name, new logo, same catalog and e-commerce

Interesting, and perhaps I'm misunderstanding something. Are they really expected to have knowledge they got from a book, that they might have read years ago?
> “When data is loaded onto the Platform, the default setting is to permit access to the data to other FBI personnel otherwise authorized to access the Platform"

If this is really how Palantir works, that's pretty bad. Software that's specifically designed and implemented for the FBI should not default to "share with all". And it should have guardrails to nudge users to be careful about permissions whenever they're adding data.
Somewhat agree, somewhat disagree.

There are plenty of respected sites in the finance and options space with names like this. The reason it works is because the ad space itself in this niche is so valuable.

Where I agree with you is that it would turn me off when this inevitably becomes a SaaS product, and I would be turned off by the freemium aspect, while expecting it to have some kind of annoying freemium gimmick. The dangling of "Free" in the service's name would just make me expect that more. Currently I am pleasantly surprised that it actually is free, if I had randomly come across it on Google I would be pleasantly surprised as well. In the past, Tradier API was not available and services couldn't be free because the data was so expensive.

There are other criticisms possible, but they're in other comments.
The issue isn't that Linux lacks proprietary applications. Its that Linux development focuses on apps that appeal to people who write code and this means Linux has a highly technical userbase that prefers open source software.

If Linux desktops had a critical mass of users that were willing to buy proprietary software, the proprietary software companies would make Linux software for the same reason that game development companies make games for Nintendo's underpowered gaming hardware if it sells well (but don't if it ends up flopping like the Wii U).

To get to that critical mass, Linux desktop needs something that Mac and Windows don't offer that appeals to the average non-technical computer user. The single best opportunity for Linux was when Microsoft came out with Windows 8 with its awful new "Metro" interface. If a Linux distro had a GUI that was at least as good as Windows 7, out of the box support for Windows applications, drivers that just work and major OEMs willing to sell it preinstalled at the time, it would have drawn Windows users. Right now, thanks to Valve's efforts at getting Windows games to run on Linux, the Steam Deck is likely to be the most commercially successful GNU+Linux computer ever made because it can run most of your Windows Steam library and gaming is the main reason consumers buy Windows these days (the needs of low end consumers who just want to read email and be spied on by Facebook are best served with an iPad or Chromebook).

Linux is, on the surface, a much more appealing platform than iOS or Android for developers because there's no monopoly app store taking a 30% cut and demanding you take features out of your software. Its also more appealing than Mac because there's no Gatekeeper program that you have to take extra steps to get around. Developers tolerate these practices because the users are on those platforms and especially because Apple products tend to sell to wealthier people who are more willing to spend money on software than Android or Windows users (let alone Linux users who are generally believers in open source and some of whom are "free software" advocates who agree with RMS's views on the immorality of proprietary software). Ultimately, software companies will go where the users are. Platforms don't have to cater to them. They have to attract the users which forces the software companies to release their software for the platform. When you focus on making a platform that appeals to software companies instead of users, you end up with the Epic Games Store which has lots of software but few users.

So just give poor people money. If somebody needs shoes you can buy them a pair of shoes. You don't have to set price caps on shoe sales. (Meanwhile, if you have laws that are artificially limiting the production of shoes, then you should probably get rid of those laws and let people make more shoes if they want to.)

I have a similar story. I built a Linux workstation running Mint when apple’s laptops were bad. I love / hate it. The machine (amd x5800) is insanely fast and responsive compared to the laptop it’s replacing. But so many niggles:

- I use an apple trackpad and everything is weird with it. Sensitivity is all wrong and I still get spurious taps and clicks. FF doesn’t have smooth scrolling working by default. Intellij doesn’t support it at all. Driver is buggy too - sometimes after waking from sleep I have to power cycle my keyboard / trackpad for them to work.

- There don’t seem to be any consistency around keyboard shortcuts. Ctrl+C sometimes copies and sometimes sends SIGINT. What’s the shortcut for “move cursor forward one word” or “move cursor to end of line”? On macos those shortcuts are consistent in every app. On Linux? Nope! I can’t even configure intellij to use the shortcuts I’m used to because it doesn’t let you use the meta key as a modifier.

- Hibernate and sleep is buggy. Sometimes the machine just doesn’t come back up.

- I sometimes have a duplicate mouse cursor, just hovering over all my windows for no reason. I can’t get rid of it. Apparently it has something to do with hidpi but who knows what.

And so on. There’s so many little interactions where something is half broken and I roll my eyes and move on with my life. For all its flaws, I didn’t realise how good macos is until I switched to Linux. Linux is definitely better than it was - all my hardware more or less worked out of the box. But I’m still keeping an eye on apple’s rumoured M1X laptops.
I think that's an important issue. If there isn't a real choice about where to live, it's a much bigger problem. I guess I'm under the impression that the labor market is pretty tight across the country right now. I was under the impression that people had pretty good opportunities if they moved out of SF/Seattle/whatever, but I guess I haven't seen real data to back that up.
"What is more, I've been told (by an investor) that SaaSHub is starting to make some of the leaders in the space (like Capterra & G2) a bit uneasy at night."

I suspect you have been misinformed. Happy to talk privately about business models.

Three pieces of advice:

1. Never describe yourself as "a one-man-army show." Your customers, the ones paying you, do not care at all. To the extent they do care it will scare the crap out of them.

2. Don't focus on making your competitors uneasy, focus on providing value to your customers (the companies who are paying you).

3. Don't focus on the number of products you have collected under you tent. Focus on the number of new customers who are happy with the tools they found after browsing your site.
Not disputing that. Anecdotally in my household: 100% break-through rate (2 Pfizer vaxxed adults and 2 unvaxxed [ineligible] children] all recently caught what we believe to be the delta variant (confirmed via PCR). That said, the vaccine clearly reduced disease severity; all recovered within a few days.
> It costs me 5$/month to run the website

Is the MySQL database inside of the DigitalOcean droplet that also serves the website? Always an option, just find that super uncommon nowadays. Databases are the most costly part of many microservice stacks right now.

I could do this for free on Vercel, but any caching such as with a database would be on an external compute instance and cost more than $5.
>And what happens when your mother gets Alzheimer's in her 50's?

Same thing that happens when your kid gets born heavily autistic or with any other disability, or when your wife gets heavily ill, or your husband, and so on.

You man up, and do what you can.

Sure, everybody would like to be the perfectly free human, running around without a single care.

But when everybody is like that, nobody matters.

Just like their ill parents (or ill kid) are just something to get rid off and distance themselves, the same holds true to how others see them them.

When the mindset erodes a society, nobody is there for you. They're just there while being around you appears fun. If/when the fun stops, they'll split (like friends of the rich when they lose their money).

The way people treat others in their family and close friends -- as mere objects to discard when not convenient, and as "chains around their legs" when they are in need, naturally comes back for them too.

In the end, they just amass empty experiences as isolated individuals, not able to connect to anybody, since them and others can't stand sacrificing their fun to anything.

>Elder care is a societal problem because one person cannot muster the resources for even a single, high-maintenance elder with dementia.

It's a problem around how society is structured.
That's a neat little implementation. For bonus points, try adding these features:

1. More non-commutative operations, like Ruby's each_cons, each_slice, chunk (different than lodash's chunk). I especially enjoy implementing these both iteratively and recursively.

2. Infinite sequences (like Python's itertools.count). You may find that implementing the other operations becomes easier when you treat the sequences themselves as being lazy and potentially infinite. Do you still need to make the distinction between commutative and non-commutative operations?

3. Operations that combine multiple sequences, like iterools.zip, itertools.product, and merge (assuming sorted sequences).

4. Operations that return multiple sequences (say, a sequence of sequences). Can you implement the inverse of itertools.zip (perhaps call it unzip)?
But you know that with asking the right questions you are able to receive evidence that the company is committing a criminal offense.
I did use the AUR a few years ago when I was installing some Kodi component on an Arch distro, but I wasn't thrilled about it.

I personally prefer Gentoo's way: user-owned "overlib"s for special stuff (and you would check the overlib's history to understand how committed the owner is), the rest merged into the main repository (if if manages to be merged, depending on QA).
The social changes we're seeing in the West, apart from aligning with the unfolding decadent logic of liberalism, are also supported by powerful groups, some of them government backed.

> For example with feminism, when asked precise questions, you notice they are afraid of people that don’t exist

Well, you will always find a couple freaks of every stripe somewhere. The job of any government looking to create fear is to give them disproportionate attention. Some may even fund the promotion of said freakishness because it either generates more panic, because it functions as a wedge for producing desired social changes that also grant more power to the government, etc. Pick your favorite subversive ideology today or mass phenomenon weakening moral norms and rights and you will find powerful backers. Control over information flow permits the impression that everyone is behind this ideology which causes people to conform for fear of sticking out. This normalizes the ideology, at least in the performative sense.
You can use software that doesn't work on Linux (without WINE/hacks anyway) but still use the power of GNU/Linux for development style tasks when necessary.

It's easier now to just maintain a single installation of Windows than setup a dual boot and continuously switch between whenever you want to edit an image in Photoshop or play a commercial game.

It's normal for HN comments to get downvoted when they tediously repeat flamewar talking points which everyone has heard many times. This is not a site for nationalistic flamewar, ideological flamewar, or any other flamewar. Downvotes are an inevitable and appropriate response. The idea that it must be spies, foreign agents, bots, shills, astroturfers, or who knows what else is a fantasy people invent for themselves, no doubt because it's dramatic and gives one the frisson of being up against baddies. It's as puerile as it is repetitive.

I've explained all this countless times and have spent god knows how many hours poring over the data on all this.

That's a terrible take. I enjoy having control over my computer and software. There's not some PM somewhere pushing a crappy change to forward their career.

I doubt it would have to re-encode. First it would split the video into separate files which don’t include the sponsored content.
Then would use something like the ffmpeg concat demuxer which will adjust timestamps of the input streams, and then output a concatenated result stream (no reencode) (https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-formats.html#concat-1). So it should probably have zero quality loss.
The quote you're highlighting is specifically referring to 'single letter' variants of the spike protein. Immunity from infection gives a wider variety of protections beyond just the narrow targeting of the spike protein.
