Yes, looks like Cloudflare Workers.
They seem to also be going for a more global approach, with technology to help finance in Southeast Asia or to assist with African diaspora manage business affairs.

It's still the power law, where you can throw small amounts of money at a large base of targets and hope that just one of them grows to that 1,000x return.

It does make YC less inclusive though and seems to dilute the "brand" power more when you see a launch that includes MacOS specific toolbar widgets or something like another "no-code" API builder.
We don't have the technology to stimulate that accurately in software. It would have to be done using transgenic animal models and/or human tissue cultures. Essentially it would be a form of gain-of-function research, and there are concerns that a lab accident could result in an even more dangerous variant escaping into the wild.

I see the founder @nrp replying to a few comments here.

@nrp, can you comment on upcoming models? Would love to have a 15" or 17" model with the same swappable ports but with a beefier processor and much larger memory capacities.

The larger frames might allow for more ports, but I'm not sure if you're limited by the number of PCIe lanes on these processors.

I think a Ryzen offering would also be welcomed.

Lastly thanks so much for this product and for first-class Linux support.

Could you share where you run into issues?

> why does piano have 88 keys?

I'm only ok at music theory, so I might get bits somewhat wrong, but the gist is right.

Notes with wavelengths that are integer multiples/fractions of each other sound the same. 440 Hz sounds similar to 220 Hz and 880 Hz (and this makes sense if you just look at the waveform), so we give them the same name. Western music slices the range between ω and 2ω into 12 points evenly divided along a log scale (we call this an octave). The log scale means the relationship of nearby notes is always the same; it takes an exponentially growing scale (frequency) and makes it linear.

You said 7 have names, but there are 12 notes in an octave. You'll learn more about that difference with scales, but the short answer most western music won't use all 12 notes because, for a given key; a specific subset of 7 sound a lot better together than the others.

88 keys is somewhat arbitrary, and there are pianos with more or less. What's important is how many and which octaves the piano covers.

Why is it called an octave when it has 7 named notes? I guess so we can repeat the first one and drive home the 2ω relationship.
No, it doesn't. It's not meant as a secure identifier and it doesn't provide for identity proofing. A national ID systems, as only_as_i_fall stated, is required.

Certain virus do in fact modify the DNA in cells[1].

From the article:

> Some types of virus, such as retroviruses, integrate their genetic material (including the new gene) into a chromosome in the human cell.

Therefore the claim that an injection of RNA could modify your DNA is possible. Whether the COVID injections do this is a different story, and seems unlikely.

Thank you for the rapid and informative reply. I appreciate it (esp when the topic is a bit politicized right now)

I'm not from US so I haven't checked the stats closely for those states. My current city of residence is Tokyo. Afaik right now hospitalization seems quite bad, and there's no strict lockdown. I'm trying to work from home and dodge rush hours as much as possible to reduce the risk for now.

Do you have any numbers of "old vs young" hospitalization in the majority unvacinated area? And stats such as "young vaccinated vs young unvacinated" would also be interesting to see I would guess.

I've heard about the delta variant being more dangerous to the young, so that's for sure a important point. But last I heard the vaccine is not that effective to Delta variant, and also the delta variant difference seems to not be that much bigger according to this[0] study I found Jeremy Howard link on Twitter (I've only read the summary so I might be wrong on this)

Edit: thanks for the link hackingforfun, I'll be sure to take a look at it (tomorrow as it's late night here right now)

True. But I do like the fact that this way I have [almost] stock Raspbian OS and all the crud that gets installed by pihole, minidlnad, cloudflared, shinobi (especially by this!!) and so on are one 'docker image rm' away from removal.

Yes.

Look into practices of Tibetan monks and Indian Yogis. They specifically train their bodies to do extraordinary things.

One example is that they will meditate outside in near- or sub-freezing temperatures and have cold wet sheets placed on their skin, which they will heat and dry by controlling their metabolism (no shivering involved)[1]. I'd not be surprised to find that these studies and practices were an inspiration for Herbert's idea in Dune.

It's a hobby. Why do people build their own furniture or sew their own clothes, or knit a scarf? Same thing here. We do it to learn and have a sense of mastery. Doing things the "at scale" way on a scale where we personally can get that little dopamine hit from a successful project.

If he finds 2N great companies, you’re asking him to pass up half of the money he could make... to prove... that he doesn’t actually benefit the companies that he invests in, and only selects them?

> I am curious why the government would need to punish people because they are living as they wish, in land they bought and own.

Easy. Governments need to be sure that there is enough soils and fields and pasture around to produce food or at some point we run into problems. Also, governments like its citizens happy (bear with me) so for instance they prevent open air industrial poultry breeding next to houses, make maps with sections dedicated to farming/pastures/residential occupations, etc. You also cannot build anything you want on the land you bought and own: a 600 meters tall jenga building next to a highway or a your own giant windmill for example.

Living in a tribe grants benefits but it also cut on some of our liberties.
This doesn't explain that the viral-vector vaccines generally don't cause Myocarditis, or at least not anywhere near as much as the LNP vaccines.
As someone with only minimal experience with containers, is Docker the company still relevant? When I set up a new server with RHEL it has some open source replacements (podman) instead, and says they work with the same containers.

The Docker Desktop client obviously is useful for quickly setting up and interacting on macOS and Windows graphically, but is Docker still relevant for the server? It seems like Docker Swarm never took off and everyone just uses Kubernetes anyway.

> It seems ...

That's the problem right there.

People like to advertise their gains, but never their losses.
80 years is short enough that we can’t be confident that it’s some rule of human societies, but it’s also much longer than any other recorded bubble has ever lasted. At 80 years the burden of proof is beginning to shift from those who think the system will work tomorrow the same as it worked today, and onto those that are predicting doom and sudden change.

I’d also like to point out that prior to the current system, market panics occurred significantly more often than once in 80 years. So if we’re comparing the system we have today and the system that existed 80 years before it, the current system seems measurably more stable.
At the rate things are going it would take decades to get everyone exposed, but much less time than that to lose natural immunity.

The only Americans who might be vaccinated in the future but aren’t vaccinated today are children under 12. The FDA is in no hurry on this because it doesn’t make much difference anyway (minimal vaccine risks loom larger next to minimal COVID risk).
I loved Cryptonomicon and I didn't even like the beginning to Seveneves. I don't think I made it through four chapters.
That's a good point. The article that mentioned it (I think it was based on study in Boston or Manhattan?) did mention that vaccinated people carried/spread it for _shorter amount of time_

There's at least one pretty fool proof way to defeat this specific kind of fraud. Give tuition waivers rather than grants.

Or, of course, just charge less. I went to LA City 20 years ago. Had a bad experience unrelated to school itself at the first four-year I tried to attend and had to drop out. My parents couldn't actually afford to send me back, but the reported income was still over the threshold to get me enough aid to afford a four-year. So I started at a community college. It was $9 per credit hour at that point. Financial aid was not necessary. I just worked an overnight shift detailing the restrooms at Knott's Berry Farm theme park.

> I suspect the stock market surge over the last year is mostly fake inflation gains.

It's not really possible to make 100% gains out of 5% inflation. Not every price increase is inflation!

The increase in the price of stocks isn't really inflation (except with respect to CPI) because 1 share of AAPL buys you far more CPI goods than 1 share of AAPL bought you 2 years ago. For it to be "inflation" and "entirely illusory" 1 AAPL share, while priced at $150 would have to only buy you as much a 1 AAPL share 2 years ago at $50.

That makes the increase in asset prices "ROI" not inflation.

What you're seeing is a massive increase in personal savings among Americans, recently at near all-time highs. [1] Combined with FINRA margin debt at near all-time highs due to the low-cost and broader availability of loans. [2] That's my theory anyways.

Gibson discusses the opening in the foreword to the latest edition of Neuromancer [1]:

"It took at least a decade for me to realize that many of my readers, even in 1984, could never have experienced Neuromancer’s opening line as I’d intended them to. I’d actually composed that first image with the black-and-white video-static of my childhood in mind, sodium-silvery and almost painful—a whopping anachronism, right at the very start of my career in the imaginary future.

But an invisible one, interestingly; one that reveals a peculiar grace enjoyed by all imaginary futures as they make their way up the timeline and into the real future, where we all must go. The reader never stopped to think that I might have been thinking, however unconsciously, of the texture and color of a signal-free channel on a wooden-cabinet Motorola with fabric-covered speakers. Readers compensated for me, shouldering an additional share of the imaginative burden, and allowed whatever they assumed was the color of static to take on the melancholy of the phrase “dead channel”."

Instead of listening to the lying news or bought off doctors and politicians do a search for blood analysis of the vaccinated.

These are starting to come out and it is not looking good AT ALL. There is long term permanent damage to blood taking place.
Another benefit is cell memory. If you see the vaccines kids get, almost all are multiple shots. Including 3-4 shots for Hep-B. It's nothing new. The reason is body takes repeat threat more seriously and builds the cell memory. So even when the antibody is gone the cell memory tells body to act quickly and what to do.
We hold ourselves to a higher standard than others because we're more invested in ourselves. If you are constantly fucking up, gaining a bunch of weight, begin super lazy, or whatever it is much easier for me to forgive you then it is for me to forgive myself because I don't have to live with the consequences of your failings.
Agreed, and he asks unique questions not only because he's got an unusual turn of mind, but because he does (or seems to do) an enormous amount of prep work for each interview. Some of my favorite moments on that show are when he asks a subject something related to an old blog post they wrote on a personal topic, or a paper they contributed to as a grad student, and they're like "wait, you know about that?"

The issue with B2C, If it's an app based product(not associated with any physical service) then immediately we're competing with the likes of Facebook, TikTok, YouTube etc. for screen time no matter what problem the app solves.

With B2B again we might end-up serving those who are building B2C products and they would face the aforementioned problem. So if our customers couldn't succeed can we? Yet the room operate in B2B is larger than what B2C currently is.

Unless the size of behemoths is controlled, fair competition is ensured thoroughly even B2B might not be a safer bet in the future.
There are a few hypotheses suggested by the higher-count events in VAERS, as well as the standard ones checked in postmarket studies (effects on pregnant women and children in particular).

It is really only an antidote to specific, hallucinatory claims, like the line about it "changing your DNA."
