I think it's interesting that we have three options now for sidestepping this by streaming games and yet none of them have made much of a dent.

Microsoft seems to have the best business model but you're stuck streaming the games on Game Pass, and their latency seems to be the worst in my experience.

Stadia seems to have the best tech in terms of latency, but the weird "it'll only work on these certain Chromecasts" launch situation put me off it for a bit, and then there's the business model - trusting Google to honor purchases on this service in perpetuity.

Luna is the one I haven't tried but seems to be going for an approach where they partner with publishers to sell catalog packs, even if they're not quite there yet.

Amazing technology. What I cannot understand is how can a foreign mRNA be injected so efficiently into host's cells without all the virus-like methods to be applied? Why should host cells be ready to accept any mRNA from their environment so blindly? Wouldn't it be used by natural selection to create subviral agents which will destroy such naive host cells rather quickly?

It's being blamed because cryptocurrency is pointless trash.

How can governments print money with a entire new currency in existence outside their control. They can't, the system would collapse upon which we all depend.

Thankfully cryptocurrency simply does not function as a currency and is a tool to get rich in normal currency.

> At the beginning of the pandemic, people theorized that public health will influence future media for a generation, much like WW2 did. For decades, we got war TV shows, war movies, war comics, etc. Hogan's Heroes ran into the '70s, Sgt. Rock was published until the late '80s, and so on. And I think we're about to see the same with media based on public health efforts.

but we actually won that war, which precipitated a rise to global hegemon status. covid has been a pathetic, fumbling showing, one that clearly reflects institutional decay and foreshadows future decline -- the reverse of the first situation
A great deal of service provision in many countries' systems is private. Even here in Canada, "socialist" medicine often boils down to a private clinic billing the public insurer. Though the major hospitals are usually owned and operated by non-profit corporations, or the local government.

Estimates on Bitcoin energy usage put it at over 1TW now. I believe it was comparable to the energy consumption of Argentina.

Advocates will defend this by saying most energy usage is renewable. This conjures the image of someone with a bunch of solar panels but the reality is that it's primarily hydro power because that's the cheapest. Thing is, in regions with cheap hydro power, the miners can use so much power they end up making power more expensive for everyone.

I'd be more OK with this if crypto in fact solved a problem for most people. We should start by stopping calling them "currencies". They're not. They're assets. They lack all the useful properties of a currency (eg being massively deflationary)

The only thing cryptos really do is allow a temporary medium of exchange for traditional currencies. Some uses of this are entirely legitimate (eg escaping capital controls in certain currencies). Some are not (ie all the illegal usages).

I really wonder what happens to Bitcoin (or any PoW coin) when it no longer becomes economical to mine new coins. Does all the computing power just move on to the next coin? If so, won't this make the network vulnerable to attack? What is the incentive for people to contribute computing power without the prospect of economical new coins?

I'm confused. Where does this say the vaccine is mRNA? The Valneva VLA15 website explicitly states "VLA15 is a multivalent recombinant protein vaccine" [1], and the linked press release calls it a "investigational multivalent protein subunit vaccine". Does nobody actually read these things?

See [2], "Subunit Vaccines".

Can you share what kind of evidence is typically cherry picked or ignored in service of that conclusion? Genuinely curious.

If the infection does have that mechanism, would that invalidate the idea that a vaccine would be at all helpful?
What ultimately matters is if the hospitals can handle the load, delta is problematic because it produces new cases more quickly even among vaccinated and a sufficiently large number ends up in the hospital for it to become problematic. Both of these are demonstrated in Israel without invoking any kind of statistical analysis. Qualitatively the vaccine alone does not work well enough to lead to an R0 < 1, even when the most susceptible people are almost all vaccinated. I think that is super disappointing and at the same time I think it is really worrying that some politicians have not got that message in Germany / other places.
Preprint or it didn't happen. [I'd like to ask for a accepted article in a serious peer review journal, but it's too much.]

From the subtitles, the recommendation is based in the difference in mortality in countries in Africa that give ivermectin to everyone regularly and those who don't. Last time someone posted two preprints about the subject https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27789555 , after reading them my conclusion was that the two groups of countries are very different. The countries that use ivermectin have a average life expectation of 60 years, and the other countries average of 66. So they are very different countries. The life expectancy is related to many things, like the quality of the hospitals and the number of very old people that has more risk with covid-19, so it's very difficult to compare them.

I think the comment about types takes a rather narrow view of Python use cases. Sure, if you’re some lone sysadmin using Python as an alternative to bash to implement some questionable ETL pipeline comprising a bunch of random scripts running off a single machine somewhere then I agree. You probably are not the target audience for type annotations.

But even moderately complex libraries and applications are such a huge pain to develop, read, and maintain without some of the tooling that leverages type annotations. This is especially true in the ML / AI / Data Science world where a lot of the people implementing models have dubious
coding practices.

Pure dynamic typing paradigms simply have not delivered on their promises over the last 30 years. There are definitely some areas where they make sense, but I doubt we will see a massive readoption until our tooling becomes sufficiently intelligent. Imagine, for example, a probabilistic type inference based on both the structural aspects of the code and previous runs over actual data.

musl's thread stack size is too low (128K), so many open source test suites segfault.

I do not understand why musl doesn't move to at least 512K like OSX.

The generous 8192K glibc thread stack size isn't actually used on Linux with overallocation, so I fail to see why musl chose that small default in the first place.
Oh, pandemics can certainly have long-lasting social and cultural effects. I ran into something quite interesting just the other day while playing with Google's Ngram on a whim. This is the occurrence of the word "contamination" in contemporary English texts in the last century: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=contamination&... (Care to guess what happened in the early 1980s?)

I'm actually a little worried about this. Of course, I'm happy it'll boost interest in vaccine development. But the terror and fear in reaction to AIDS led to a general biosecurity obsession that became biosecurity paranoia and then hysteria and then a renewal of persecution of homosexual men for a couple decades. Who says we'll be immune to the worse effects of fear, paranoia and panic this time around?
That's just like, your opinion, man!

I'm a die-hard pydantic fan, but it's refreshing to see other perspectives, while the author is acknowledging it is their opinion, without getting all holy-war. Also, they aren't orthogonal. Pydantic is definitely heavier than attrs in terms of processing. This is what makes pydantic a great bastion at shearing layers. "Validate all 10000 ints" is exactly what you want when parsing a request, CLI input, or some configuration.

Also, pydantic makes it almost trivial to write top-level app config logic that is populated from configs, env variables, secrets, etc.

Also, I can generate pydantic structures from openApi, jsonschema, etc, and conversely generate schema/swagger from pydantic. This is game-breaking amounts of awesomeness.

On the other hand, inside business logic, pydantic has the downsides TFA mentions. I would however still contend some validation sprinkled in with business is helpful to reign in some of that zany python dynamicism in huge codebases.

I like the simplicity and composability of the c/attrs approach. Along with the "pydantic does not like positional args," (`__root__=(a,b,c,...)`, ugh) I'll be considering this for retrofitting some code paths that are currently dicts with actual structured types.

I didn't know about the performance differences. Sam Colvin strikes me as very thorough and the community is very involved, so I don't think the benchmarks claiming pydantic faster than attrs is wrong. I know pydantic uses cython under the hood (no idea what) - is it possible that environmental differences are causing the discrepancy?

But it doesn't make sense in this context. They're literally changing nothing except the mRNA sequence.

If a new vaccine is made by taking a gene sequence from a virus protein that's already in the wild, and packaging it into a delivery mechanism (LNP) that's already approved for another vaccine...

If there are any strange reactions to the new spike protein, that would also be caused by the wild virus spike protein, so it's an obvious competing harms situation where the vaccine should be approved, at least so long as the pandemic is ongoing.
If you need it for your workflow, it is very easy to avoid the auto-deletes. I know plenty of people who blanket keep all their old emails without a problem.
I configured Fastmail to send emails that I compose from my work address, via the work SMTP server. Not any other type of email. And indeed, they don't send emails that I compose from my non-work addresses via my work SMTP server: they use their own server to send these.

The support person who is dealing with this also turned up the fact that this is a change that they made some time in 2019. Earlier to that, all emails from Fastmail Calendar were sent from the "support@fastmail.com" address. They changed this in late 2019 so that Calendar now sends these mails from my work address (following some peculiar logic and email rewrite rules).

So yes, it is surprising that they send emails from my Calendar via my work SMTP server.
I'd do this if I were OP. There is nothing to lose. It certainly seems to me as a non-lawyer that if the facts are as they are written it would be at their discretion. Perhaps the original deal won't be honoured but a token payment for good karma could happen. It could still be significant given the numbers involved.

I would personally have not named the companies in a post on HN though. I suggest the OP edit this if they still can.
Does this have the potential of helping people who already contracted the disease?
One reason is because they've found that simply boosting with the original mRNA gives a massive spike in protection even against Delta, apparently on par with variant specific versions of the vaccine.

Another is that recent studies are showing that natural infection provides much more comprehensive, long-lasting immunity against all variants than the vaccination does, while vaccination with the current vaccines offers much more immunity than individuals who have never been vaccinated or infected. So it would seem like the best course of action moving forward may be to vaccinate everyone possible initially to prime their immune systems and reduce the severity of the disease, and then allow Covid to run its course. Eventually vaccinated individuals will have break-through infections, gain the more durable natural immunity, and Covid will become a less serious, endemic virus more like the flu or cold.

In short, we don't yet have a need for a Delta variant vaccine. That may not be true eventually, especially for future variants.
What's wrong with go? What C++ provides that go does not?

Theoretically that will spawn some real competition which is sorely needed. In reality fabs are hard to spin up, but this does draw attention to the matter.

Yeah, definitely, just like you can name a library like Vue vue.js. Does that mean Vue is an official project of the JS Committee? No, of course not! It's bizarre to think otherwise, and that doesn't mean Vue should avoid using js in its name because somebody could get confused. Putting something like ".js" or "rb" (like in "dry-rb") in a name is a signal for a target, and not always trademark infringement.

> Denying affiliation is a classic strategy in psyops. The alt-right and manosphere have established entire PR strategies based on that.

The same is true for attributing tainted characteristics to your ideological opponents - just call them "nazi" or "fascist" and anything goes. If they deny that they are nazis or fascists, well, that just proves they are nazis or fascists. This is called a Kafka trap. It is the same tactic used by so-called anti-fascists to legitimise physical assault on ideological opponents, they just simply call them "nazi" and start a "punch a nazi" campaign. It is also the tactic used by Ibram Henry Rogers (who took up the nom-de-guerre "Ibram X. Kendi") to be able to label people racist by stating that those who deny they are racist thereby confirm their racism. What all these tactics have in common is that they do not actually aim to confirm or refute the presence of a given trait, instead they are used to force another trait upon the accused - whether that be "anti-fascism" (which you referred to) or "anti-racism" (which Rogers refers to). Those forced traits tend to carry the name of the thing they supposedly refute while often encompassing elements of the refuted trait: so-called anti-fascists act like fascists, so-called anti-racists call for racism like the following quote from Rogers' "How to be an anti-racist": "The only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination. The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination".

This can be generalised: the opposite of an extreme opinion is another extreme opinion, the opposite of an extremist is another extremist.

> I'd be more inclined to trust a person/collective declaring they anti-nazi (or antifascist if you will), than a person/collective declaring they're "not a nazi" then leaving traces of nazi symbolism everywhere.

Honest question: would you be more inclined to trust a person or collective declaring themselves to be, say, anti-communist than one declaring not to be communist? I have seen a glaring discrepancy between the trust put in so-called "anti-fascists" (who more often than not are all too happy to use the same tactics as the original brownshirts used to spread their ideology) and that put in those calling themselves "anti-communist" with the former being given the benefit of the doubt while the latter are watched with suspicion since they may be "right-wingers". Well, yes, they might lean to the right, just like those "anti-fascists" most likely lean to the left. Whether that makes the one better than the other depends solely on your ideological standpoint and as such is subjective, not objective.
