Do you have any information as to what number of spike proteins will be generated by the vaccine on a healthy young individual, compared to an asymptomatic infection ?

I was under the impression that mrna vaccines relied on the fact that spike was the harmless key. As such wouldn't it make sense if the doses were designed to be quite high ?

Another question ( in case any specialist read this) : wouldn't it be possible that the S protein alone, being smaller than the whole virus, and being generated from unusual locations, is able to reach cells that would usually be protected in case of a regular airborne infection ?

Hardware? I assume if someone was concerned about key access they wouldn't want keys on their filesystem at all but move them into an HSM instead. Since age identities can come from standard input I assume it'd be feasible to put together a workflow there coming from one of the various cli utilities for interacting with keys. There is already a YubiKey specific age plugin [0] getting worked on as well. Currently in beta but looks interesting. Hopefully that will continue to expand to cover other common options. HSM support is pretty important for a modern encryption utility IMO but unfortunately the landscape is pretty all over the place too, so makes sense to just leave it to plugins or as part of a unix flow.

This was entertaining, but as someone in their late 30s, to someone in their early 20s, some unsolicited advice:

* The health related stuff really catches up with you. I was skinny/lanky my whole life (and don't exercise) until suddenly 35 happens and BOOM "you got fat!" It's really, really annoying.

* My mind isn't as "spry" as it used to be. This, combined with skills that are not at the peek of demand makes interviewing, and employment, more difficult than it has ever been in my life. I wish I had planned for this, instead of bouncing between companies for my whole career.
I should have done a search. Looks like someone else put this title on the list a while back. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23823159 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25860131 I have the 2nd edition that I'd swap you for I don't know what or how we might be able to arrange that. The author does seem driven.
There is a lack of good documentation but that is not the whole story. Both the Gnome and KDE desktops have a huge amount of software running on them despite the barriers.

Writing for a modern native GUI strongly favours an OO language like a c#/Dart/Swift/Vala/Java. And it isn't just the language but the ABI. A java or gobject or c++ gui library doesn't always map well onto another language. There is a lot of code out there where adding a GUI isn't trivial or fun. Tk used to fill this gap a bit but it fell out of fashion.

It is trivial to output formatted text to a terminal from any language with some ANSI escape codes. It also easy to do templating and html to provide a web interface.
i or some hyper real numbers are neither irrational nor rational.
Basically all crazy extensions of R used to solve even more crazy problems. They don't really exist naturally (and you can make up your own field extension of R as you wish), but they are handy if you want to compute stuff.

But by definition there are no real numbers that are neither rational or irrational.
Oh yes. I do use Immer for this but I’d kill for first class support.
I was a CISSP for 20* years. CPEs are a hassle. Annual fees are a hassle. I missed getting my CPEs during COVID so now their taking my certification away. I’m probably not willing to jump thru hoops to get it back. It was great in my early days. I’d suggest the GIAC line of certifications now.

I bet some of the uptick in quality of content on tiktok vs youtube is based on the length of videos. If they only have three minutes, all the interesting things will be shoehorned into the available time. Whereas youtube creators are incentivized by the payment structure to lengthen their content to increase their adshare pay so they extend their content to 10 minutes + leading to a lot of filler and "heyyyyy guys let me tell you about my day blah blah blah before we jump into the meat and potatoes" etc.

There are already lots of cities with declining populations and lots of empty houses. We dont need new cities.
So your first solution means that NPCs can't interact with doors. What if your game needs NPCs to be able to move around freely and not be trapped in the rooms they spawn in.

Your blocked door solution also has some issues. How do I represent the state of a partially open door? Can a partially open door block bullets? Can I move through a partially open door? Can NPCs? What happens if the car moves towards the door while it is partly open? What if the car moves away? What happens if I try to interact with a partially open blocked door? What happens if I try to interact with a partially open unblocked door?
None of the explanations here are satisfying. I want to hear from someone who actually worked on Vine at the time.
I don't see why not, software renderers exist, just point it at a "surface" made from "pixels" which are actually block characters of different colors.
That’s a feature! That 90yo probably has rather more worth sharing than the 18yo.
Part of the reason why people use phones is that phones aren't as complex as desktops. You don't need to install an OS, it just works.
What you describe would certainly be nice, though the realist in my simply can't believe it will ever happen.

Every country on earth is going to suffer and struggle, and I find it impossible to believe any government would welcome millions more people who are struggling when their own system will already be stretched to breaking point.

Governments have not done so in the past for civil war, natural disasters, humanitarian crises, genocide and much worse.
Probably becayse the inflation has been disproportionately in housing only. Less true now since covid of course, but housing is still a separate problem to be dealt with.

An HTML server is a pretty good UI for a lot of things. That is if a text config file is insufficient.

Also, terminal apps are great! Where would I be without a decent terminal text editor? Certainly not SSH'd into some cloud instance.
Replying to myself here, one interesting result of the "security updates without any feature regressions" interpretation is that it would be a very strong disincentive to bundling software. You would want to let users install their own browser instead, so that every browser feature isn't a feature that you need to maintain. It seems like it could completely eliminate shipping with apps like Facebook pre-installed, because Facebook is never going to commit to not removing features.

It's probably not feasible with todays software ecosystem to actually create that constraint... but I still really like the idea.
I'll preface this by saying that I got bored and didn't finish it (Axioms? Rubbish, where's my field theory etc.) but Terence Tao's book on Algebra seemed like a somewhat gentle and very thoughtful introduction to the subject. Not necessarily easy by any means but it looks like he has put a lot of work into the pedagogy (whereas some mathematicians just shit out theorem and proof onto the page with no regard whatsoever for the prose, justification or flow - but I (am forced to) digest)
TDD is an implicit repudiation of Agile. One of the principals of the original Agile manifesto was "working software over comprehensive documentation". After all, a test is a form of documentation, albeit one that is more suited to a programmer's tastes.

Agile places software and documentation at opposition - TDD tries to tie them together.
They just announced the result of a giveaway, maybe it is related to the reason for termination?
> The standard library defaults to crashing at runtime for simple float <-> integer conversion bounds errors which you’d think would be caught statically with more thoughtful design.

There are very real ways in which Swift isn't ready for systems programming, but this sure ain't one of them.

- In C and C++, this doesn't trap, it's undefined behavior. Trapping is _always_ better than UB. Are C and C++ "not ready for systems-level programming"? (Yes, but that hasn't stopped people from doing it).

- C and C++ compilers don't catch this statically either by default. They just silently invoke UB (https://godbolt.org/z/seTh9cva6).

- Unlike C and C++, Swift's standard library provides the tools you need to easily do something about it: if you don't want to trap, you can write `Int(exactly: x.rounded(.towardZero))` and get an Int? that is nil if a floating-point value is out of range.

There are rough edges here, but they are much, much less rough than the languages that people routinely use for systems programming. Sibling poster got at some of the real problems that _do_ need to be addressed.
There aren't any, but it's circular reasoning.

It's exactly the same as saying "real numbers are the union of rational numbers and gargoyle numbers". What's a gargoyle number? "It's any number that's not a rational numbers." What's a number? "It's anything that's a rational numbers or a gargoyle number"
Why on earth would a factory worker go to high school? This argument makes no sense.

> But diamond semiconductors are much too expensive ATM.

It is also difficult to dope diamond n-type, as most of the donors are not shallow.

Interestingly: The conduction band in bulk diamond is above the vacuum level, meaning that conduction electrons "want" to fall out of the material. (Surface physics gets in the way.)
In a lot of ways I don’t think that’s a totally unfair assessment. But “fuck capitalism” has become somewhat of a rallying phrase for people who are upset at a number of economic problems and their non-solutions that are largely underpinned by the mostly individualistic but fundamentally capitalist way of thinking that is both wildly held in the US in general but specifically held among those in power who are personally unaffected by the systems they create.
Also, a natural number is not “imaginary” in any sense. (E.g. you do not imagine the number of fingers on your hand - you discover it, by counting.)

I would pick the baseband processor as the biggest target. https://www.theiphonewiki.com/wiki/Baseband_Device

Reasons for worry about the baseband code:

a) Code is written by a third parties

b) Apple is more restricted applying defence-in-depth (customised security CPU changes like PAC, customised compiler changes, etcetera).

c) harder to detect intrusion?

Versus reasons not to worry so much:

z) Baseband has more limited access to information

y) harder to make exploit survive a reboot - mainly useful as part of chain of exploit into main CPU?

x) Baseband code is device specific - helps to know target device to attack
That is certainly the pro-censorship argument. The common refute is that censorship creates a more homogenous marketplace of discussable ideas - which the de-anonymised user base have their identities (and, at worst, personhood) reduced to.

I think there's a happy medium somewhere by treading very lightly towards this subject. We are deeply ignorant of own biases in almost every aspect of decision-making - which is an argument both for and against censorship.

> Censorship isn’t what make social media and blogging so toxic to our culture.

Facebook, Google, Amazon and Twitter have more institutional power than all elected officials combined. At this point this is beyond toxic, they have become the Robber Barons of culture.

> It’s the lack of reputational cost to bad actors

No sorry but cancel culture IS toxic in and of itself. Anxiety among teenagers, especially girls, is at all times high and in adults too.

> But sure. Let’s have another platform that is most likely to become popular purely for illegal uses.

Who will get to decide what's illegal? Most likely not you or me; most likely whoever is in charge will use this power to amass more power. There are no examples where institutional censorship of public discourse wasn't prone to self-serving abuse of power and actually yielded final positive results.
Now I'm wondering if those cheap Optane drives from mainland China on eBay are not actually new. They do seem too good to be true.

Notable that you can edit comments after posting, which makes the number of posts you can make virtually limitless.
It depends on your mathematical background. I don’t know of any books about this at the level below senior undergraduate mathematics. If you are familiar with sets I can outline the idea behind how to define non negative integers.

We assume the empty set exists and call this 0. We define 1 to be the set containing 0. So 1 = {0}. We define 2 to be the set containing 0 and 1. So 2 = {0, 1}.

Let’s look at this set: {a, b}. I know this set has size 2 and not 1 because I can map {a, b} to {0, 1} in a one-to-fashion. I can’t map {a, b} to {0} in a one-to-one fashion. We say any set has size 2 if it can be mapped to {0, 1} in a one-to-one fashion.
I was the original poster suggesting the Tokyo System - but I did the math and I was wrong.

The total underground capacity of the Tokyo consists of the Cans, (250K cubic meters), Cistern (248K cubic Meters) and Tunnels (575K cubic meters) - for a total underground capacity of 1.07 million cubic meters.

New York City was hit by 35 Billion gallons of rain during the flash flood, which = 132 M cubic meters. The Tokyo System has .38% of the capacity of the rainstorm, and is capable of draining at 200 cubic meters/second which would take 7-8 days to drain all that water.

What happened in New York was epic - and no underground system imaginable would have been able to handle it. The only solution to this type of problem occurring in the future is going to be around things like zoning (don't build where it's going to flood), landscape (lots more greenery), architecture (lots more void decks, first floor resilience to flooding, no basement suites, etc...)
I don't think that is the context that the commenter was using when they said WhatsApp doesn't rely on SMS.
> Government policy reflects the culture

In general, sure. It also is one of many things that influences it. Culture doesn't just arrive ex nihilo with no influence from concrete experience.
Not sure how practical it would be on a large scale, like city wide or larger, but in smaller areas such as a storage facility this could probably be used by forklifts and similar. Especially if combined with something more coarse like Wifi or Bluetooth based networks.

This reminds me of visual odometry from a backup camera, there where a bunch of papers on that subject about a decade ago. I don't know if it was ever used in practice, I suspect dead reckoning from accelerometers and gyros combined with map data is good enough in tunnels and other short term GPS denied environments.

True, and I doubt I would even notice a problem if playing the game. It's just when you are specifically looking at the doors, stuff like that jumps out at you.

One can make the argument that UB allows implementations flexibility on how they define overflow, allowing e.g. -fwrapv and trapping to be permissible based on what your desire is. But it's a fairly weak argument and doesn't detract from the rest of your points.

This is only partially true. The mRNA vaccines don’t generate the full protein:

> mRNA vaccines tell our cells to make a piece of the “spike protein” that is found on the surface of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Since only part of the protein is made, it does not harm the vaccine recipient, but it is antigenic and thus stimulates the immune system to make antibodies.

Source: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/hcp/mrna.html

Additionally, one of the studies referenced in the linked paper also states that negative thromboembolic events are observed in vector-based vaccines but are absent in mRNA vaccines:

> Here, we present first molecular evidence that vector-based vaccines encoding the Spike protein exhibit a problem that is completely absent in mRNA-based vaccines. This is due to the fact that during the vaccination step, the adenoviral DNA enters the nucleus and use the host machinery to transcribe its (trans)genes inside the nucleus.

Seems like the author of the tweet is just as bad as the critics in the screenshot. Perhaps reflective of how they feel and see cryptocurrencies in general.

The first sentence (excluding the subtitle) in the article they linked [0] in the tweet arguing against cryptocurrencies and NFTs in general tells you that they are very angry most likely irrational and it is shown throughout the whole article if you read it.

In the the first sentence of [0]:

> 'I am so mad I had to write this, the world’s most self-evident take: but here is the article you can send to people when they say “but the environmental issues with cryptoart will be solved soon, right?”'

Not the best start into writing a rational critique or convincing the skeptics is it?

That's a great point. I think the difference I was trying to get at was between building for the sake of learning and building with the intention of the product being used by more than just you. But building for charitable purposes, or at least with the intent of helping others, is certainly distinct from any profit motive.

This is actually a pretty strong reason. If your target is to build an app like this, getting distracted by a completely different technology which might or might not be more usable for some subproblem is the easiest way to loose interest.
