There's more to immunity than antibodies. Even if you don't have detectible levels of antibodies your memory T cells may be providing some protection.

Many blood donation centers conduct free antibody tests for donors so you might want to check if that's an option.

Also, Apple eventually unlocked the laptop.

It seems Microsoft did funnel money to SCO by first agreeing to pay a $16m licensing fee to SCO for something that they fought against having to pay in the 80s and for which SUN only paid $9m. They also gave $50-60m to an investment firm which intern gave it to SCO.

Beyond financing the fight, there hasn't been any other evidence of their involvement. Anything else is just conspiracy theories.

I live in an arguably upper middle class neighborhood of Istanbul, one of the biggest metropolitan cities in the world.

Most coffee shops around me are fancy third wave shops, making Starbucks a cheap choice. I’m sure I can find a cheaper places couple neighborhoods away but streets are not flat, traffic is always terrible and dangerous for pedestrians.

I checked out of curiosity and we have more than 200 branches within 50 miles of me.
Yeah, let's drone strike Edward Snowden because you have a small dick. Fucking moron.
> We don't know...

That's not accurate.

We know that more calories in than calories burned leads to weight gain.

We know that the body + mind has nutritional requirements. If those are not met the body + mind will ccontinue to pursue those requirements. That is "empty calories" have a cost associated with them.

We know that (urban) food deserts impact consumption of (quality) foods and inturn health.

We know that humans conform to the norms they see around them. That is, "normalize" a condition and humans will adjust. Smoking is a good example. So is obesity.

We know that epigenetics is a thing, and that what you consume has impact, in some cases on future generations.

Obesity is a relatively new First World Problem. The idea that there's been some mass change in DNA just isn't reasonable compared to the obvious (too many calories vs not enough exercise). Oprah lied.
If this is really how you feel at least do it properly and legally and get whatever your jurisdiction calls an advance directive set up.
I work at Stripe and we've dug into this quite extensively throughout August. Although Stripe does want to support as many businesses as possible, the card networks have prohibited the sale of some products that have regulations around them in certain jurisdictions (https://stripe.com/restricted-businesses#products-or-service... — and we're trying to shorten this list of restricted products).

I'm not able to share specifics about individual businesses, but broadly, the card networks have a hard line on platforms that continue to primarily facilitate the sale of restricted products.
I can understand the syntax bit. For that feature it's really important the syntax is accessible. (I have no illusions how bad my syntax above was. I just threw it together to illustrate the point)

Disagreed on the AST though. I think a lot of problems can be solved if a programming language has a well-defined publicly available grammar and if access to its AST is easy. As an example, a lot of innovation in modern IDEs comes from the IDE's ability to actually parse the code files and build object graphs. Knowing details about the AST is necessary for that.
Ah right. Caveat though that that applies if Messages is set to use iCloud. In that case iCloud backup backs up the decryption key to ensure you don't inadvertently lose access to the messages because they're end to end encrypted.

If Messages is not toggled in iCloud, then as long as iCloud backup is toggled, it will directly back up the raw messages - encrypting with an Apple stored key just as for any other non end to end encrypted data.
Your source is a sole paper with one author, the guy who "estimated that the coronavirus could cause 10,000 U.S. deaths if it infected 1%"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ioannidis#cite_note-wp-28

Pardon the skepticism, but do you have any other sources?
The claim was "Natural immunity comes with a 10--25x greater risk of death". That's a statement about the chance of dying from the vaccine to the chance of dying from Covid.

The numbers you're actually using are something quite different: they're comparing the chance of dying from Covid if vaccinated, vs. the chance of dying from Covid if unvaccinated.

The only credible reports of Covid vaccine fatalities that I'm aware of were from the AZ and J&J ones, and seemed to be on the order of 100 cases in all European countries before the use of those vaccines was stopped at least for the at-risk group (young women).

If the chance of dying from the vaccine was only 10x lower than that of dying from Covid, we'd have millions of dead from the vaccine. We don't.
Funny thing, programming the clocks in assembler at the time of the moon landing was extraordinarily hard, especially since they had to code the timestamps in negative.
What about it isn't idempotent for you? Are you falling into the anti-pattern of using shell/command all over the place instead of real modules?

We have playbooks installing and managing our databases, web servers, VoIP PBX, DNS servers, backend services, and on and on. All completely idempotent and safe to run at any time against any host. No special effort whatsoever was required to make that safe to do.
No, because if the party you're messaging has iCloud backup on (a good chance), or is on Android, or has their device physically accessed somehow- a third party can read all of the messages that you sent them. There is no 'true privacy'
Hard-hitting piece, tho not a cancer survivor myself my father is. As his ambassador of sorts to the rest of my extended family I recognize the unsolicited opinion tsunami the author describes.

However, the part that really caught my eye was the reference to David Spiegel and positive mindset research (or lack thereof). By pure coincidence, I had recently come across the self hypnosis topic via the Huberman Lab medical podcast. One app mentioned was Reveri, created by David Spiegel’s lab. I looked up the science references in the “about” section and found a 1983 and a 2000 paper reference. Seems a bit flimsy to me, but am wondering if there are not any more noteworthy publications to cite over the last ~40 years?

There were all kinds of questionable things going on. I read for long enough to be convinced that it really was a single person, but I think that they were skeptical because she got a lot of contributions from others who helped look into some of the legal matters, so in another sense she was the face of the Groklaw community. I don't know for sure if that was really her name, etc., because I never knew her other than online, but she had a distinct writing style that would not be easy to replicate, so she was always a single voice and she was relatively unknown, as far as I could tell, until she started getting posted to Slashdot regularly.

But yes, SCO really was moving against her in the background, so she had some reason to be paranoid there.

My locale also has the highest reported rates of testing that you'll find. Indeed, if you discount case counts and choose objective measures of increases in hospitalization (small to moderate) or increases in deaths (not detectable yet), the picture is even more tilted in the direction I describe.

That is, it seems we undercount less here, so the difference in true rates is even greater than I claim above.

Unfortunately, hospitalization and death rates are not broken out by vaccination status, and are low enough that they'd be mostly noise even if they were. This precludes doing the same kinds of analysis with death or hospitalization data.

And, of course, the fact that my locale takes things more seriously on the whole is its own confound. That is, vaccination rates are not an independent variable.

Get an antibody test that's for something other than the spike. If the vaccine you got only has the spike (all EUA/BLA in the US) the vaccine won't boost anything else.

It is verbose, You often need to define type twice in Open API definition and in Java/Typescript. In addition, swagger UI is not very good. Tooling like editor support, testing, benchmarking is lacking compared to even Postman.

In most cases, there is plenty of good alternatives:

- Sharing types
- API/SDK client libraries
- GraphQL
- gRPC
- hasura/postgrest
- Postman

The only good use case for Swagger/OpenAPI is when you need to expose API to third parties, but even then the above solutions can also be applied.

> a) No one is blaming the user.

The user is being used as an excuse: "we compromise your privacy because that user over there wants it".

ive read ij, with the footnotes and it took me so long I think I forgot some of the first part of the book while reading the later part. I enjoyed it kind of like a tv series but with so many episodes I forget the first season but kept watching.

So on one hand Ive heard the hype, and it was good...but I wonder if it was shorter it could have had a bigger punch (like 1984 or something else) and while typing this I wonder if this tv show analogy ( Rick and Morty comes to mind) is a kind of good analogy? Or maybe im a philistine...

I think there's a ton of room for innovation/paradigm shifts in handheld computing.

I think that very few of them are significant enough to flood over the moat Apple and Google have built.

Among those? Screen-less mobile computing (glasses/HUD) and true conversational AI agents.

But the rub is that (particularly within the Apple ecosystem), a competitor has to not just be better (on day 1, vs the 14+ years of iPlatform evolution), but better enough that people are willing to jettison the entire Apple platform for a competitor.

Which means Apple can release later, with less quality, and still retain most of their users. That's the evil genius of pivoting to a platform / services company.

Google to some degree, albeit to a lesser extent, since their services aren't as tightly coupled to first party hardware.
It's included in iCloud backups, just not toggled to use end to end encrypted iCloud sync (in which case iCloud backups would back up the decryption key).

I worked at the IBM Linux Technology Center back when this whole clusterfsck was just taking off. Without going into details, it impacted how I was able to get my job done. The damage that the SCO Group inflicted on the world by making it a lot more difficult for companies like IBM to contribute toward Linux is immeasurable, and I can only laugh bitterly when I see a settlement amount measured in a measly 8 figures. The industry-wide FUD that SCO inflicted has been far, far more damaging.
a) It's not a backdoor but an explicit design tradeoff. It's hypocritical to be calling people out for using terms correctly and then misuse the term backdoor.

b) The etymology of the term has been blurred by WhatsApp referring to it as both transport and encryption at rest. But historically it has not included the latter part.

This is surely true no matter how strong the encryption scheme, though. If you share your content with anyone else, then your security is only as strong as theirs.
Messages are not stored in iCloud Backup by default.

You have to explicitly enable it.
Microsoft was certainly in full "Linux is a cancer" mode at the time, and even had an executive, Martin Taylor, who was essentially their Linux attack dog. That said, while they were certainly not opposed to what SCO was doing, there's not much evidence that they were the man behind the curtain either.

The censorship is intentional on the part of Facebook, but the "silent" part is a frontend bug on messenger.com (possibly also the app). Normally it shows you a red "error" indicator next to the message that says something like "this goes against our community guidelines.

The error can be seen in some of the screenshots. It briefly shows "couldn't send" and if you refresh the page the messages disappear forever.
Ask HN: Is Apple requiring passcodes to do iPhone hardware repairs?
I recently had an appointment to replace a cracked screen and the service rep said she needed my passcode to do the repair. I asked to talk to the manager who backed her up. When I said I didn't feel comfortable with that and where this "policy" was that they kept referencing, they canceled my appointment and asked me to leave the store. They never told me why they wanted my passcode other than "to check some information and run some tests." Has this happened to anyone else? What is going on?
> You can't trust anything unless you built it yourself [0].

As "Reflections on trusting trust" (https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rdriley/487/papers/Thompson_1984_Ref...) points out, you can't trust anything including if you built it yourself, at least assuming you mean 'build' in the software sense. Even in the hardware sense, it's probably beyond the reach of anyone, let alone any individual actor, to build a modern computing machine from bare metal in a way that involves no trust of a third party.

Or you can write the answer once and copy it infinitely.

I understand the feeling because I frequently tell the vaccine-hesitant why they should vaccinate, but it's not nearly that bad if you actually try to inform people.

Also, you're not accounting for the reverse, where something is popular but wrong and asserts that it should never ever have to explain why it's right.

Finally, a more useful heuristic is to listen to explanations from people who can and do tell you how things work. The BS artists generally either have models that directly contradict what we know of the world or have no coherent model at all.

Incidentally, the above post is an example of this, is something I've explained many times, and took me nowhere near 10 times as long as your post to write unless you can type significantly faster than 120 WPM.

Microsoft Lync for Mac OS had a bug like this; if the system uptime was > 49.7 days, the user’s presence would get stuck as “Away”.

I would have hoped for an ending more like Prenda Law's.
> This is probably the best ending the Linux community could have hoped for

No, IBM's counter-suit being successful and those who launched the ridiculous lawsuit being fined, disbarred, and or thrown in jail would be the best ending. The fact that TSG will get a pittance out of it is not sufficient discouragement against future lawsuits.
I mentioned above but I'll repeat it here as well. Humans conform to the norms around them. As weight went up and it became normalized there's no feeling of being alienated. Smoking is a good example. It went up. But then it became unpopular and declined.

Unfortunately, it's not acceptable to mention someone's weight. And the less that was allowed the more normalized it came be.

It's ok for Oprah and such to promote the idea of "love yourself." Unfortunately they failed to mention that some versions of yourself might be unhealthy.

And here we are, in the middle of a health pandemic and we are unable to discuss some of the root causes of worse outcomes.

I am not sure people complain about the tents. There is a lot more that comes with that. Tents block public areas and sidewalks. There is a lot of trash accumulated around tents. There are usually no bathrooms or showers around which leads to urine and poop, unpleasant smells, dangerous trash like needles, etc.
Well, for me it's enough if it starts to regulate whether I'm approved for this credit or not, or whether I should be considered suspect for a crime.

I'm honestly worried that the greatest innovation in computing of the last decade seems to be inventing programs where literally no one understands how they work.

This is an interesting license which has a time delayed component. I was searching for such a license after reading the post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28320404 which discusses the limitations of Linux competing with windows/macOS when they have much more limited funds from the lack of commercial options. The lack of a way to finance open source is holding it back. This provides a middle path that would expand open source and provide an option for funding commercial software that becomes open source with time.
Completely off-topic but yesterday I upgraded my Debian 10 home server to 11 and it rebooted fine! It had a 132 day uptime on it.

I run a unify controller on docker, pihole, influxdb, grafana and a bunch of other small scripts. I did need to upgrade my collectd Python modules to 3 but that was it.
Harder to find because they obviously do not market this things towards consumers. Except when selling consumers SMR drives without telling them. ;)
