Technically you wouldn't have to re-render (i.e. recompress), you could just dynamically splice in different compressed audio frames. AAC (what MP4 uses) does this well, MP3 less so but for vast majority of listeners it's still indiscernible, especially if there's a slight audio gap. The CPU load is de minimis, though you do still need to track frames--can't just move blobs from disk to socket using sendfile(2). I did this for a radio streaming server that supported per-listener ads--everybody received the same content stream (or at least, one of several codec+format pipelines, i.e. RTP+AAC, FLV+MP3, etc), but when ad spots were detected they were dynamically swapped with different spots that varied per output stream. From the perspective of downstream software clients it was still always one long, unbroken encoded stream. I never got around to supporting compressed video frame splicing, but it would work the same way, modulo the fact that your key frames tend to be spaced out more so it wouldn't always be so seamless with ad hoc content (you'd definitely want a brief screen blackout or carefully placed key frames for the transition like you often see in broadcast television).

But while conceptually easy to do this, I've never seen other streaming servers do this, certainly not open source ones. And of course the most obvious, simplest way is to just pre-render a bunch of static files and serve using a dumb HTTP server.
This would be a bit more interesting at about half the price. I could think of some fantastic applications at that point.
The Irish Free State wasn't as economically backwards as Cuba, there was no single strongman at that time for the Irish populace to hate, and there was no well organized and large communist party to be in opposition.
EDIT: And after the exodus of Protestants from the south, not a lot of minority groups in the new Irish Free State either.

I'm pretty pro covid vaccine. But I don't think your thesis is correct. VAERS tells a very different story. Even if the signal is overstated by an order of magnitude, it's still an incredibly important signal. The CDC is also concerned enough to have ordered Pfizer to undertake a multi year study as well.

We don't do any favors in terms of convincing people to get vaccinated by pretending or minimizing the potential risks. People see through this kind of dishonest behavior.
You're basically applying the Sorites paradox to random numbers.

Sure, asking whether or not any single number is random does not really make sense (although I suppose if we have enough digits to look at then something similar to Benford's law might apply to their distribution). But the point being made was about humans as random number generators and the distribution of numbers they produce. It's like comparing individual molecules to statistical physics.
Likewise, yelling at people to get the vaccine makes no sense.

If you don't want to catch the virus, get the vaccine. Don't worry about others.

They will get the virus and then get natural immunity. People will have adverse reactions to both covid and the vaccine. Let them weigh the risk to which one.
I think we're in agreement here?
Great thought, but no. Seems more likely that one is Vizio and one is Samsung.

Really wish progressive enhancement was chosen as the first thing, want to get rid of the backend db? ok, two APIs,

store to extension-managed DB (e.g. flatfiles in the home directory, or shunted onto something managed with LDAP, or loaded onto some weird coin thing on a local light node, or etc),

or in environments where extensions are fussy / overcomplicated, store to another website via a http api (la https://remotestorage.io/, or if one wants to overcomplicate it again, a remotestorage-to-weird-blockchain-thing-shim)

- - -

For the article itself, deriding web3 as "Money websites" and then basically asking for "Lightweight money websites" is a bit pointless. Storing stuff on "Money" is a big overhead, If you were to decide to write your data onto a gold ingot, you'd probably not enjoy the process of going to the bank safe deposit box each time to make a change or read a change, likewise, money websites are going to be encumbered with risk, endless layers of crypto math un-understanding, and stress.

Don't worry, someone might make a contract to provide that fine grained API you want, and that contract might not have bugs, and the tooling used might not be able to be tricked to use some other contract as an api since you know, decentralized, shouldn't be able to use only 1 implementation right

Or, if you remove money from the equation, like, hell, replace it with text files or something, even if users need to exchange text files with each other to update each other's pages (ok a bit overkill, webrtc should suffice, still requires both people online at the same time though), it still removes a lot of emotional stress
User inputs are not random but they certainly can be entropic.

It is crucial to inform the user of this, as software has.

"Generating random numbers, please move your mouse around randomly" is suitable for literally all use cases.
Good news! Phase 1 trials on the Pfizer vaccine began about 18 months ago; only six months to go for the two year mark.
I think the draftiness is key. In my findings, in a "modern" house (double-paned windows, built in the last 20 years), sleeping with the door closed will spike CO2 to 4 digits. The other thing is that air really needs to circulate in order to lower CO2 - opening a window in a room will not lower the hallway CO2 unless there's at least some draft / air movement.
The other reason not to run Linux is because the ESP32's a bit underpowered to run Linux (lacks an MMU). Slightly more powerful hardware (eg Raspberry Pi Zero) would do better, and get you a working device far sooner, which would be great for testing out some of the other components while waiting for getting the software written.

Embedded Linux (eg any distro using busybox for glibc) is (imo) the appropriate stack to use for this given how cheap a microcontroller with an MMU is these days, and once you get rid of all the bloat, is capable of very quick boot times (availability), and if the device is off (and not just sleeping), then its battery life is similarly extended. (Don't let the poor battery life of Android phones let you believe Linux isn't capable of long battery life. Smartphones don't actually get to sleep while the screen is off.)
I agree it may also do that. My question is whether that's the goal of people inspecting bags at college sports.

When I was in college, campus security already banned a range of items at sports games. In 1989, they made national news for adding marshmallows to the list of banned objects: https://www.nytimes.com/1989/10/26/sports/michigan-to-ban-ma...

That suggests to me that college stadium security is mainly about policing mundane behavior at college stadiums, and very little to do with terrorism.

I had a nice long reply to the parent but their post got flagged before I finished it. But there's no meaningful link between the HPV vaccines and infertility as best as any study could find. Here's the WHO's view [0] (emphasis mine):

"insulting" when applied corr ectly, is another word for "I don't like being told strongly I'm wrong.". If someone jumped off a cliff because they didn't believe in gravity, they're stupid. We all socially benefit when stupid things are labeled as stupid, because humans are social creatures first and rarely based on information.

> They really did go after Catholics, Mormons, and even evangelicals.

Yes, none of those were uncommon for fundamentalists of the time (the fundamentalist/evangelical split is perhaps the most opaque to outsiders because they seem very similar from the outside, but fundamentalism was a theological reaction against theological trends within evangelicalism.) All of them have subsided, at least in visible terms, because of political convenience in the last couple decades, but even in the early 90s I saw a lot of it, quite openly, from large fundamentalist-aligned organizations.

Chick tracts were notable in their presentation, but not do much their ideas.

You can believe that cool URIs don't change or you could go the IPFS route. Similar to the way torrents have a 'health' score of plenty of seeders, and IPFS resources could live as long as people want that resource to exist (Not sure if that situation is baked into IPFS though).

when I got my first vaccine, they gave me a paper card, and they put stickers on it to record which vaccines I got, and I put it in my wallet where it's been ever since. I haven't (yet, I guess) had to show a "digital vaccine record", I just show my paper card and they stare at it for a bit and then wave me through.

if you did not get that option, that sucks, and it sounds a bit inconvenient, but, uh, yeah, over 600,000 people in the US have died so far, i don't think that's a "scare", that sounds like a valid concern to me.

also your data is almost assuredly at 20 different marketing analytics firms already, regardless of how secure or open-source the digital vaccine record is.
And one person I personally know changed their mind when they missed several months of work after getting infected as they started seeing double for extended period of time. Got eagerly vaccinated afterwards despite of likely natural immunity :P
That's not a retort, that's a question. "Do the odds of getting the virus attenuate its expectation value enough to make it equal to the expectation value of the vaccine?"

The answer to the question is related to the question of how many people are going to get this thing before it stops spreading. From what I've heard we're looking at 70-80% based on herd immunity estimations, which is not a lot of risk attenuation on the virus side. If someone wants to chime in with a better-justified estimate, I'd appreciate that.
How is it possible to submit fraudulent research in bogus fields? Just like you can't build a stable home on quicksand it is not possible to do valid research in fields based on false premise like the various 'grievance studies' fields. It would be the same for e.g. flat earth studies or astrology studies, to name a few more bogus fields.
Perhaps we should just change the title to say an edge of the Earth?

> - Cooking is insanely bad for the air in your house

Hold on! Not all particulates are equally harmful - and by far!

A particulate sensor detects water vapor or particles of (non-burnt) cooking oil that are harmless to humans.

In the same way, it detects very dangerous (carcinogenic) compounds from combustion engines or burning coal or wood.

Cooking is in no way "insanely bad" (unless you are grilling your food black or cooking on an open wood/coal fire)

> "It's your body" only counts if what you're doing with it isn't putting unconsenting others at risk.

Not according to pro-abortion stances.

If you want to get the vaccine, it should protect you. If you can't there are therapeutics. You don't need to force others to inject mRNA shots into them.

Your analogy was awful. Such a false equivalency, there's nothing even remotely the same about that example.
Yeah I enjoy watching a lot of the hacked challenge runs that are on Youtube/Twitch these days. Like seeing if it's possible to beat Pokemon when all trainers have level 100s or having Pokemon level down when they gain experience in battle instead of up.

There's no evidence of any risk of mRNA vaccines at all. The only issue so far has been extremely rare blood clot issues with the adenovirus vaccines (AstraZeneca & J&J).

The vaccines are not approved for children under 12 because the risks to young children from the virus are the lowest of any population group, so older groups were prioritized for efficacy and safety testing. It is being tested now in that age group (I know people with kids in the trial group) and will hopefully be approved shortly.

If this virus worked the way the flu does, doing the most damage to children and the elderly, then the vaccine would have been tested on children much sooner and would have been available to that group sooner. In that world, that's not because the vaccine was more dangerous to 25 year olds.
There's definately some skullduggery when it comes to restricing democracy, but it's still the most straightforward and achievable avenue, and it sits upstream of everything else.

Imagine that one of the many nuclear zealots on HN invents a nuclear plant that is cheaper than fossil fuels, but only if you include the cost of carbon externalities? They wouldn't be able to build a business on that without societal support.

SPOILER: existing nuclear plants are already cheaper than fossil fuels with reasonable carbon fees [1]. Why haven't they been rolled out more? Because carbon fees have been fought by fossil fuel interests who spend a lot of money convincing young people that it was all the treehuggers fault.

So I've never heard of this term until now, but actually, I can think of a use case for this I kind of like. So, pretty much daily I get linked to an article on a paywalled site that wants me to subscribe or get a free trial. And I always click away, I'm not going through the hassle of email verification or putting in my credit card for a 2 minute read. But if this supported something like "pay 25 cents to read this article", I'd probably do it. Microtransactions seems like it could be a viable use for this kind of thing?
I imagine any CO2 capture system that uses ocean water would be placed in the ocean, not have the water pumped into it.

CO2 is easier to chemically react when dissolved into water, and its mobility is about the same as on air. So the decision is about engineering something that can survive being immersed on the ocean vs. engineering something that can use atmospheric CO2. I believe there's no general answer, we can only answer that question for specific designs.
What you are describing is explicitly not science. It's dogma.
That is because in real science it often turns out there are multiple sides to a story and more than one has compelling evidence. But with respect to corona it’s presented as if ‘science’, as represented by one blessed scientist or group, is the universal and incontrovertible truth and everything else is ridiculous idiocy.

Look at the messaging surrounding Ivermectin. It is medication that has been prescribed to humans for decades. But it’s also prescribed to horses. Now someone has done some study that appears to show it works against corona and people start trying it on themselves. What’s the answer? Haha those idiots taking that horse dewormer! Which of course is nonsense. Is it smart to take medication for a purpose for which it is not known (whatever that means) to work? Debatable. Is it lunacy to try medication that’s not dangerous for a potentially lethal disease? You could always try praying, I guess.
I find this specific example a bit amusing. Remember when authority thought the earth was at the center of the solar system, and that was a fact and there wasn’t room for dissent?

I don't know the ins and outs of the relationship between FINRA and the SEC. I am rather more familiar with the similar relationship between FERC (Federal Government) and NERC (SRO), and in that case NERC really can't say "Fuck off." NERC will occasionally try and push back via public lobbying, using its position as the organization of power producers to speak for them when they- as a collective- don't like some new rules coming out, but if the rule does come out and get finalized, they don't get to say 'no, go away' because the Federal Government gets to make the regulations.

And just from first principles, I'm not sure that FINRA, an organization largely dominated by traditional broker-dealers would be willing to go to bat for a weirdo newcomer. If they aren't doing the basics of building relationships with the SEC, is Coinbase building relationships with the other companies necessary to get FINRA to go to bat for them? But again, not sure about this, just a bit skeptical.
Last time I looked into gas sensors (for measuring SO₂ and NO₂ which reach extreme levels in my area), they were $100+ each, depending on the gas it's measuring.

I was around for web 2.0, and it felt like a substantial change over how the web worked previously. It was the first glimpse that the web was capable of replacing the desktop apps we were accustomed to, while simultaneously adding new capabilities that didn't exist in desktop apps. There was a lot more to it, but to the casual user that was the most obvious difference.

This was the first thing I've read about web 3, so I didn't need to grep my brain to find and remove any existing notions about it. As someone coming in late to the party, I agree that installing a browser extension seems like a deal breaker. Web 2.0 was about getting rid of browser extensions. It also sounds like web3 is missing a killer app. For web 2.0, Gmail and Google Maps and YouTube were all immediately useful to all web users. Web 3 doesn't sound all that compelling to a lay person.
I’m saying that ascribing the failure of Ireland to find the USSR a confortable partner to it being “overwhelmingly Roman Catholic nationalist” rather than “too far along in capitalist development” is error, not understatement.
