I used this board from Uputronics[0] with optionally included active GPS antenna. Mostly because they were readily available, and there were few guides online for setting ntpd up on Pi using Uputronics board.

As a word of caution - it looks like most guides that I came across are outdated, or indeed have never produced a reliably (or at all) working NTPd setup. Instructions that lead me to the 'right' path is linked here[1]. I am still in the process of tuning GPS offset in my setup. But all in all, it's been a great learning experience into complexities of the protocol I've mostly taken for granted for a very long time.

Aviron Software | Senior Full-stack Engineer/Lead Software Engineer | Remote | Full time

Aviron Software is a boutique consultancy specializing in React/web/mobile/.NET/cloud development. We're one year old today and have gone from one to four people in that time - and we're still growing.

We don't advertise (we'll probably start soon) - because so far our customers have all found us. We don't even have a website (we definitely will soon). And - we have a 100% customer retention rate for a reason.

Seeking good senior-level folks with lots of web dev experience, especially using a frontend framework like React. Good/great JavaScript skills are key. We also do a lot of .NET, so some exposure to C#/.NET is desirable, but not required if you know a good backend already and are willing to learn. Experience building in/on a popular cloud system (Azure/AWS) highly desired as well.

We offer full benefits and competitive salaries commiserate with experience, along with a 40 hour workweek and flexibility for when you can work. As long as clients are happy, we're happy. One of my engineers sleeps until almost noon everyday.

Email spencer AT avironsoftware DOT com if you're interested in learning more.
Everyone knows you can't predict what a treatment will do just by knowing its mechanism - if you could, clinical trials would never fail. Talking about the mechanism is the least effective way to explain how it's safe, because most people realize that well-controlled studies are the only true authority.
Cowen is truly unique. He's one of the only "public intellectuals" who has replied to my random emails on multiple occasions.

Everyone should listen to some episodes of Conversations with Tyler. I normally hate interview podcasts, but it is bar none the best one out there. It doesn't matter the topic - the questions he is able to hit his subjects with are amazing, nothing at all like how most interviews go.

I think that if the community cares about its image it needs to take a more proactive approach to keeping these kinds of people from behaving like that. Otherwise they will always be associated with that behavior.

That is a new round of FUD from the predatory publishing industry.

On balance, open access helps the developing world far more and costs less: Because access to journal and conference articles is now possible. Before open access, article fees around $50 for reading a single article meant, that to write an article you had to spend the $500 on the roughly 10 (usually more) related articles you needed to research and reference. To even get to the stage of writing an article, you need to read quite a few, impossible with the sky-high subscription fees that even rich western institutions balk at. And as everywhere, university libraries reimburse publishing fees out of the subscription cost they saved.

Open Access is cheaper, fairer and especially beneficial to education in the developing world.

Of course reading articles costs nothing on SciHub, but I guess the people you are working for don't want that to be known, eh?
Very good point. I can only assume that their resources are so constrained that they don't have the ability to provide the level of training and support truly needed. There is a chasm that has developed, perhaps dating back to when many of the commercial Lisp vendors switch focus to Java, that needs to be closed. As you said, it is tragic in many ways.
Gstreamer uses it. Those are some smart guys and I trust their choices.

I tried the Meson build of GStreamer last year. It didn't go well and I gave up because of time pressure.

I haven't looked at Meson since because CMake actually works.
It would probably be an unfair labour practice for Twitter to do so, as it's pretty clear that twitter employees can use twitter at will and such a policy would be purely suppressing their organizing.

Of course twitter is a terrible medium for organizing anyway, so maybe Twitter would want them to use it! I hope if twitter employees do try to unionize they don't try and do it in tweets.
The headline is not acuratly representing the contents of the article. The full quote which is where the "once thought an impossible feat" part comes from:

> That makes D.W. different from other people who have demonstrated the ability to change their pupil size, Strauch told Live Science. What's more, that he can feel the muscles in the pupils directly "is astonishing, as it was thought to be impossible."

What's new isn't controlling the pupils but to "feel the muscles directly". Not sure how that part is verified though.
"What can we do to change that to an illegal activity?" absolutely as soon as possible is the real question.
OP said he or she is upset with price inflation and now has a pile of cash losing purchasing power.

arcticbull said '... you would have been a lot more furious at the Fed in the event they had sat back during COVID and presided over a deflationary spiral ...'

Deflation makes cash have more purchasing power, so arcticbull your speculation is wrong. Completely backwards.

Where are your offices in Ottawa? It's so nice to see more big names popping up here.
It's a blog post on our company blog. We used to write them weekly to share more detail on different parts of the hardware and systems we're building, but took a pause as we worked through launch. We're now starting back up. We don't post these directly anywhere but our own website, email lists, and social channels, and I assume throwawaysea (who doesn't seem to be a throwaway account) is subscribed to one of those.

Whatever is causing the severe side-effects, it's probably not the MRNA or the spike protein. With Pfizer/Moderna vaccines, it's likely the lipid nanoparticles causing Myocarditis. With the J&J vaccine, it's likely the viral vector that is causing TTS.

Both technologies have never been widely deployed before. The fact that we could not predict and still do not understand these side-effects is quite concerning. It also puts into question the "COVID infection is like the vaccine only worse" narrative.
Thanks! I'm one of the authors of the project. Here's blog that highlights some opportunities we see in the cloud. https://greylock.com/greymatter/funding-the-cloud-challenger...
Macbook with 64 GB RAM and 4 TB storage is $4600. I'd say that's pretty low.
You've made it abundantly clear here that you don't know what you're talking about, so you perhaps should just stop talking at all on the matter.

>Because vaccinated people can still spread infections vaccinations, just like lockdowns, do not help ‘getting things under control’. They only delay progression of the pandemic.

Delaying the progression DOES help get things under control.

>The only argument there is is that vaccinated people get less seriously ill

No it's not. Vaccinated people are less likely to get ill at all, get seriously ill, or spread the virus.
I was one of those people, about 8 years ago - my title was VP, but nobody reported to me (there were only five of us) and I spent all my time programming. I'm uncomfortable even listing it on my resume, but I was there for three years, and if I change my title on the resume to better reflect what I was actually doing then, I'd actually be lying.
I gave up on Stephenson at Quicksilver. I didn't like Cryptonomicon, but liked his previous work so I gave Quicksilver a try. It's very rare that I don't finish a book, but I didn't finish that one.
I can assure you that the allotment areas in Sweden are in no significant way contributing to the housing crisis. That has many other reasons, of which these relatively small areas is definitely not a major one (if one at all).

Sure, some would be prime real estate but I’d rather have a few of these co-ops mixed into the cities than just private housing projects everywhere.
Not OP, but I've used a Mac as my main computer since I was a kid in the mid 90s, and I've installed Linux on most of my Macs at some point or another since like 2002.

Every single time I've found it sufficiently cumbersome and glitchy that I moved back off of it within a few weeks. Last fall–needing a new computer, frustrated with the slow iOSification of MacOS, and anticipating months to years of compatibility issues with developer tools on the M1–I built a desktop PC and installed Ubuntu.

I figured if running Linux was as annoying as it had been on my Macs I'd just install windows and run a VM like I'd done for years on Mac, but it has been way smoother than I expected. There are still a few driver issues now and then, but I mostly just bought the newest hardware and didn't make much of an effort to ensure compatibility. I'm not sure I'll buy another Mac at this point, but if I do I'm not going to bother with Linux.
It's been figured out, but we're waiting on Pfizer to bring it's protease inhibitor to market before we acknowledge existing, out of patent medications that do the same thing.
That's odd. I've only ever been a part of companies where HR made a recommendation, but the decision was on the hiring team's management.

While I do like the recommendation to get an external offer, there might not be time for that. Another option is to refuse the internal offer and stay with your current team. Honestly, hiring is hard. If the manager has to go back to the well and either restart the interview process or hire his not preferred alternative, that might motivate them to knock something loose.

Good luck.

A low cost of $1/page just shows how much of a scam even prestigious journals have become for all involved parties.

Referees work for free. Submitting authors pay through the nose for presumably typesetting and proofs whose true cost is closer to $1/page rather than hundreds. Editors are overworked.

Sci-Hub was supposed to disrupt that industry, but it seems all it's done is shift burden to authors and created pay-for publishing.
If it goes like the other four coronaviruses that are endemic it will reach a state where (1) if you catch it but already have some immunity (from a prior infection or a vaccine) your chances of serious illness are low, (2) if you are a kid your chances of serious illness are pretty low even if you don't yet have any immunity, (3) you catch it every year or two or three for the rest of your life which keeps boosting your decaying immunity so there is a good chance we may not need vaccine booster shots (a lot depends on what variants become endemic and what vaccines are available).

At that stage we probably won't even bother to track it. It will just be another of a large group of viruses (including those other four endemic coronaviruses) that cause similar symptoms and risk that we lump together and collectively call a "common cold".

Right now we are at the stage where we have a lot of people who aren't kids and who have no prior immunity. For past pandemic => endemic transitions that meant everyone went through their first infection without immunity (and often without good treatments available for the serious illnesses that resulted because these past pandemics were often before modern medicine). We have better treatments in general nowadays, so that route would not be as bad as it was for pandemics a couple hundred years ago, but it still would kill a lot of people.

With this one we've got a chance via vaccination for almost all of the teen and above population that hasn't yet been infected to get some immunity before their first infection. (Eventually pre-teens will be included once vaccines are authorized for them).

I have never ever on HN seen an argument about DNA and mRNA, but then again I don't follow the conversation too much.

As it seems like you know someone with correct background on the subject, so I wanted to ask you something I've always wanted to know as a young,(late 20s) healthy person with no existing risky precondition in this pandemic:

Why should I take a vaccine, when it is now known that vaccinated people can still spread the virus, there's an almost neglible chance of side effect, and with no information about possible long-term side effect.
If the chance of me getting hospitalized is so low to begin with, what's the benefit of the vaccine to me.

It's an genuine question, as I soon have to travel (to a country that still force quarantine even with vaccine) and have vaccine session booked by next month.

With my limited info the risk vs benefits of vaccine seems to solely end on "we know too little about the vaccine".

Edit: thanks for all the thoughtful replies. It's a hard question to ask (without anonymity) these days so all the sincere replies are much appreciated. I'll read through the given links (and credibility of the link) when I wake up
From https://joss.theoj.org/about#costs :

How would I use Minikube to replace Docker Desktop if I don't want to use (or learn anything in depth) about Kubernetes? Like in the case where we just want to build images locally, optionally send to a docker registry, and use docker commands to run the docker containers?

Agreed. I want a .app file for macOS that does everything Docker Desktop does, without the bloat.
>Which isn't a problem. If once vaccinated the virus is mostly harmless, then it is just one more of the many endemic diseases we live with without worrying about.

It's a problem if you're one of the many people who, for whatever reason, can't be safely vaccinated.
Here it's cheaper to import 2 of something than to buy locally, so warranty is usually a non-factor for me. But, in general it's a good reason to avoid forwarding services (especially if your part of the world has strong consumer protections like Europe typically does).
Not convinced. Inflation would skyrocket, asset-holders will get richer and inequality would get worse if it already isn't. The fella working at McDonalds would get shortchanged for not playing the asset-bubble stock-bubble game as he/she is serving $20 burgers to customers.
That isn't what I took away from the article. I read it as government meddling with interest rates has lead to greater wealth inequality.
They seem to be overcharging for components on the DIY page. Most of those things you can get for cheaper elsewhere including Amazon or Newegg.

I would expect that they should be be cheaper if they want to get ahead of the game.
