I've always been a Democrat but lately, I am reconsidering my position. I am not a single issue voter but UBI might be the reason to not support the Democratic party for me (if it ever gets on the ballot). Thankfully, most Democrats I know oppose UBI. The reason I am reconsidering is to do with how the entire west-coast is run - living in Seattle, Bay Area, LA and Portland feels like a third world nation. I'll probably continue to vote for Democrats in the presidential election, but local and county elections it will be the Republicans or Libertarians.
I wish Gibson would exclusively write short stories or even aphorisms. His brilliance is in how he builds a world in offhand comments. The overall narratives tend to be boilerplate sci-fi, unfortunately. I've read the first ±50 pages of Neuromancer a few dozen times, but quickly lose interest in the story after the narrative really gets going.
Horribly off topic but did anyone notice how the big shoe players (e.g. Nike and Adidas) managed to brand themselves as technology companies, while it makes absolutely no sense to completely redesigning the shoe every couple years under that framework? If they were actually tech-focused, I would expect them to end up close to a local optimum where they would only incrementally improve their products every year, having a revolutionary redesign only every handful of decades (like with cars).
Purely anecdotal but my loss of taste,smell came nearly two days after the primary COVID-19 symptoms had passed; making me wonder about the role immune response played into those apparent after-effects. Tangentially related, an acquaintance of mine (62+, history of lung disease) had lung failure leading to lung transplant following their vaccination. Causation is clearly not guaranteed here but I am still left to speculate about the role of the immune system in these outcomes.

I've read that Myocarditis can happen with actual COVID cases as well [1]. To me that makes sense, considering that the mRNA-based vaccines generate a portion of the spike protein similar to the actual virus.

Even that cash could just be net borrowed cash.

For instance, I keep $XX,000 in my bank account but a negative $XXX,000 balance in my brokerage account.

And I'm not particularly wealthy.

This way I have an isolated cash cushion buffer separate from my investments, and I don't really care what, if anything, that money makes. It's actually invested in my brokerage account, at a [edit](1.25%) margin APR, that's tax deductible - and offsets my capital gains.

[edit] correction: I double-checked, I guess I'm paying closer to 1.25%. Looks like margin rates are both up at IBKR, and my recollection was off. Thanks for the spot-check throwaway2037. It's hard to find the historical rates, too.

The interview process at Reddit is not very different from any other larger tech company from my own experience of having been interviewed and interviewing myself.

I do believe though that there is a good amount of candidates out there who believe preparing for interviews is not necessary because they already stacked up x amount of years of work experience.

I'm kind of surprised battery cells aren't one of the kinds of usbc case modules you can get out of the gate. Obviously they'd be a bit limited in mAh but tbh a lot of the time I'd probably be willing to sacrifice 2 or even 3 of the 4 modules for battery if I'm actually on the go.

(I kind of suspect you might be limited to one though, assuming the power delivery controller can only really handle one external source of power)
I did an (admittedly quick) evaluation yesterday, and came away with the impression that migrating away from Docker over this would be penny wise and pound foolish.

There are other options that have a lower sticker price. But Docker Desktop's price isn't exactly high, and we've already got a lot of investment in Docker, knowledge about Docker, and related infrastructure such as testcontainers. So, after factoring in that we are still a company and do have to pay developers for their time, I concluded that, big picture, just giving them some money is the vastly less expensive option.
Is there a company that these people are going to? What Ubiquiti/Unifi alternatives do you like?

OpenWRT doesn't pack Python out of the box, so you need to install it, and have enough space for it, if you want to use Ansible. It uses a custom stack for configuration (like VyOS), so builtin ansible tasks won't always be so helpful. Configuration is not stored in a single place, but in several files, and it's easy to lock yourself out while testing changes: there's no commit-timeout, and there's no committing of changes, nor rollback. It's just editing random files, and restarting services.

I think there's a special configuration command that might fix some of the above issues, but I've been using the web interface (which actually does support committing and, to some extent, validation).
On the DIY Edition, all of the off the shelf modules have a "None" option so that you can bring your own. In general we try to stay close to market pricing on memory and storage, but we can't always get there.
I recommend appliance firewalls.
The claims that rare side effects have been well-characterized and can be predicted from the mechanism alone are simply not true - the FDA itself required further postmarketing studies (to be finished around 2023) as a requirement in their approval letter. The foundation of convincing people that taking the vaccine is safer than not taking it cannot be the false claim that the probabilities of each side effect are known, because they are not. Instead we should focus on the true claim that the virus is much more dangerous and also not completely characterized.
El Salvador: Bitcoin Law critic Mario Gómez arrested without charge
Totally fair. Good nitpick.
> and you decide to change to a different one just to avoid a small license fee,

That’s an oversimplification of the issue.

I really don’t care about the small monetary cost. I do, however, care about adding yet another recurring license fee to my already long list of recurring charges and licenses to manage across the team.

It’s not necessarily Docker’s fault, but I think many of us are experiencing a lot of SaaS fatigue with the ever-growing list of services and plans and recurring charges that need to be managed.

Evaluating alternatives isn’t just about dodging a nominal fee. It’s about avoiding yet another recurring overhead and associated hassle, however small, that comes with every additional subscription.
I live in one of the top 10 largest American cities (our metro population is, roughly, larger than all European cities except Moscow and London).

> Being relocated to a smaller hospital is not good

The rural hospitals in our state have effectively been in collapse for months, using our major metro city hospitals as a backstop. There is no relocation to smaller hospitals, there is only cancellation of lifesaving treatments. The backstop has failed.

I am aware of this happening in other very large cities in America as well.
This makes me sad but is also actually kind of hilarious.

Really? r/PokemonGo mods are to have influence over what kind of discussion people can have about a constantly evolving medical situation?
Thinking of it as a starting conceptual framework is helpful for me. I like to listen to music that seems to stray from those 'rules' all the time, but the more I learn about theory the more I see that what they're doing is quite intentional.

I think it could because there are much more packaging format other than rpm/deb. What about Arch Linux, Gentoo or even BSDs? It is easier to maintain packages in the same way across platform.

>Still, the program keeps a low profile. Even with Tyler’s tall stature, a Google search of “Emergent Ventures Tyler Cowen” shows results only from Tyler / GMU’s own promotion, one short TechCrunch article, a mention on LessWrong / Effective Altruism, a mention on Hacker News, and a small number of Emergent Ventures winners’ blogs and podcasts.

Well, publishing articles with hyperbolic titles seems like painting a big, glowing target for status-seekers to come and ruin Cowen's signal-to-noise ratio.

Invoices list multiple bank accounts at different banks because of transfer fees and delays.

Fees are usually lowest and the transfer is fastest if source and destination accounts are at the same bank.

For me before we can even talk about covid being endemic it needs to reach a steady state and we're nowhere near that right now.

In terms of risk management flu is a good example because most humans encounter various versions in childhood but we still offer vaccination every year against the most likely variants. And we can still have flu pandemics. It's largely in a steady state though but the reality of that means we actually need to do a lot of management as risk profiles change locally. And largely this is a medical issue not a political one.
So it just doesn't give any benefit. Reducing the risk of something which is already close to zero, is still 0. If we follow your argument, why not take the vaccine ten times ?

The excess mortality of people under 49 years in a country like france is zero in 2020 [0].

About long term effects of infections. Well the same can be said of the vaccine. In both case we have no idea

Well, they were always an option, but becoming less so. Increasingly financial aid from the west and trade agreements are bound to "IP protection", meaning the protection of the scientific publishing racket at the expense of scientists and SciHub (among other things).

Pretending that things are fine now is dishonest imho. Business practices of the IP industry aren't suddenly a-ok just because you can pirate your way around it and pretend that therefore they aren't harming anyone.
I wonder if this article is an example of the submarine coming to surface (http://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html).

I say this because back when I used to frequent Marginal Revolution, I found that there was a good deal of self-promotion of Cowen's work in the website - for example, he would link an interesting news story and provide minimal commentary, but then would link his tangentially related research. I understand his incentive for doing this, but the amount of self-promotion was enough to annoy me and make me stop reading.

Years later, I attended a presentation that Cowen gave that was ostensibly on his book the Great Stagnation, but in reality it turned out to be a demonstration of some online learning venture he was bankrolling at the time.

He's a smart and productive guy, no doubt, but my (anecdotal) experiences make me wonder about what is behind an article like this.
Let's put it another way: with Delta, the chances of you getting COVID are pretty high. If you do, the chances of you getting bad side effects may be low, but they're a few orders of magnitude higher than the vaccine.

In this case, why not take the vaccine?
Everyone deserves compassion and understanding... except for me.

Obviously this is nonsense, I know for a fact that it's nonsense...and yet, I'm still a dumb piece of shit that can't internalize the fact that it's nonsense.

Spiral spiral spiral.

Mednet (YC W17) Is Hiring
As to whether the current batch of mRNA vaccines are "inefficient" against delta, the science is far from settled.

There are no changes to the mRNA vaccines composition in the booster. Moderna has been testing a lower "dosage" of the booster at 50 mcg vs. 100mcg for the current vaccine, but other than that it's the same stuff it's always been.
Why would Cowen want to actually empirically test their skills? They're getting articles about their supposed mystical powers written up right now. Why risk tossing that away and find out for real, with very limited upside?
these are the kind of small detail slip-ups that bother me about the commenters (everywhere, not just HN) that decide to try to educate people in broad-strokes and general overviews.

it's hopeful and altruistic to try to educate the ignorant, but politically-charged topics have a characteristic that when misrepresented -- even accidentally -- someone may use that foul-up to reduce the efficacy of the advice by injecting the shadow of doubt.

(to be clear, issues with data should be corrected by others; my issue is with the grandparent poster getting the small details wrong while Speaking From On High and quoting scientist friends)

This not only hurts the credibility of 'scientist friends' by proxy, but it also just creates another foot-hold for the already suspicious to continue being suspicious; something that is trying to be remedied by the whole speech in the first place.

Please, if you feel the need to educate on something politically charged like this, gather the facts first and triple-check -- otherwise you will likely harm your base motivating premise incidentally through loss-of-trust.
The point is that a laptop with a 65W power adapter can in fact, draw 90W (or more) for a period of time in practice.

Which means, we don't really have a good way to benchmark power usage on laptops in a practical sense. We'd likely need to bust out the soldering iron + oscilloscope and measure currents entering the laptop's VRMs to accurately measure power usage over time.

I know laptops / cores have an "amp-counter" on board somewhere, but there's no guarantee that these devices are consistent or accurate across different laptops. Its sufficient for measuring how much energy different bits of code has (ex: Linux powertop tools), but not sufficient at comparing Apple M1 vs AMD Zen3 chips. We need a 3rd, trusted and independent measurement of power usage.

We can't just assume a 65W power adapter leads to 65W peak usage. Perhaps in the past when laptop designs were more in spec that was a decent assumption. But that time has passed, and today's laptops often do peak at power usages far in excess of their charger capacities (albeit temporarily, but even then, that makes measurements / benchmarks very difficult).

--------

I guess if you physically remove the battery pack (is that still allowed on these laptops?) and then plug it in, we might be getting somewhere. But the Macbook Pro doesn't have an easily removable battery pack.

I guess I’m curious whether Twitter would be compelled to allow tweets that “violate” its tos.

Let’s say it’s a rally: “Let’s organize and prevent Twitter from requiring proof of immunization status.”

It’s about unionization and demanding that Twitter not demand proof of immunization (if they were to require it), but it could be any number of things that are contrary to their liking including unionization.
