This is a point where I would have to disagree. While their early access programs are generally restricted to larger customers, you can apply to join other schemes (called Docs and Docs+ as far as I remember) where they will assign you an account manager and a dedicated platform application engineer to help you with your design-in process.

I worked at a small start-up producing COM-HPC boards for companies who wanted to keep their servers in-house, as opposed to using cloud infrastructure. We weren't purchasing any more than maybe 500 CPUs of their upcoming platform. Despite that, they supplied 1:1 tech support, reference schematics/layouts, a reference validation platform with which to test our design on, and 1000's of documents including product design guides and white papers. This all came about by just contacting Intel's developer account support and filling in a few forms.

We also produced the same product with AMD hardware and the difference was night an day. Say what you will about their production difficulties and roadmaps, their engineering support is years ahead of AMD.

You seem to be both treading into naturalistic fallacy and brushing up against ad hominem. The latter because you don't know the motives of those who disagree with you (they could just find your explanation unconvincing) and the former because just because human beings have been phylogenetically classified as apes does not mean you can deploy your syllogism so easily.

Note: I am not arguing one way or the other here. Obviously there is competition for mates among human beings. What I'm suggesting is that we be careful when drawing on evolutionary explanations flippantly and simplistically. Lord knows that e.g. "evolutionary psychology" (which this would fall under) is packed with just-so stories.
You've convinced me to do the same. Thanks.

Tip for anyone following suit: If you're worried that they'll "catch" that they've already vaccinated you, by seeing your name and address in their database, just claim that your parent/child has the same name and lives with you.

> one piece getting a good hit on a satellite to create thousands more.

> Even with a real UBI system, having random fluctuations in earnings when you get a cold or break a leg is not reasonable.

You should have enough savings set aside that going without a paycheck for at least a week or two won't put you in dire straits—the official recommendation is actually several months. Anyone who is self-employed is already managing their own (unpaid) vacation time and medical leave. It is the expectation that income is guaranteed even when you aren't working—that you can safely live paycheck-to-paycheck without planning for the future—which is unreasonable.

UBI doesn't really count as "planning for the future" unless it's somehow contractually guaranteed for life and not subject to being curtailed as a result of shifting politics. A social program instituted with the passing of a bill can be limited or revoked in the same way at any time. If the goal is to ensure a predictable income stream then a fully-funded, non-revocable trust or annuity for the benefit of a specific person is a much more stable option.

> … like an employer could drive their employees to burnout and then discard them because they bear no consequences.

Just assume that an employer will take whatever an employee is willing to give regardless. It's the employees' responsibility to push back and manage their own work-life balance. It would be unreasonable (as in: an obvious conflict-of-interest) to expect employers to prioritize employees' welfare over their own.
>The fact that people don't want to wear them not is not hygiene theater, it's non-compliance.

Cloth masks are Hygiene theater. The rules that allow cloth masks and neck gaiters and all sorts of stuff is all theater and are asking compliance for the sake of compliance.

N95/N99/k95 masks are not. These have effect.

Not wearing a mask at all, is non-compliance. But when the rules were changing (first it was don't wear a mask then changed to wear one), and when the rules about the masks aren't really protecting people by allowing cloth masks and gaiters, you're just giving those who already don't trust authorities in this matter more fuel for the fire.

> The study suggests that the rate of CAE was 3.7 to 6.1 times higher among healthy 12-15-year-old boys than their risk of hospitalisation from Covid-19 in 120 days as of August 21. The rate of CAE was 2.6-4.3-fold higher at times of high weekly hospitalization risk, such as during January 2021.

> “For boys 16-17 without medical comorbidities, the rate of CAE is currently 2.1 to 3.5 times higher than their 120-day Covid-19 hospitalization risk, and 1.5 to 2.5 times higher at times of high weekly Covid-19 hospitalization,” the study says.

There are 1M openings across the UK (population about 60M) and 10M across the US [1] (population 300M-ish). There are twice as many openings per person in the US. (I also don't assume the demographics are wildly out of step).

Fantastic nugget of wisdom here. Saying that you want a product to be "intuitive" or "simple" is as useful as saying that you want it to be "good, not bad."
> complete and utter failure on all levels

Is the < 100% number due to lack of availability of vaccine, inability of people to get to a location to receive the vaccine, or people simply not wanting to be vaccinated?

There's an immense machine at work spreading FUD about the vaccine, and whole swaths of (mostly red) states where people refuse to get vaccinated.

So at least some of the reason for the low vaccination rate is due to no fault of the system, but rather the parties with an interest in working against the system.

I live in NL, and people here were anxiously waiting their turn (by age ranges) to get vaccinated. Meanwhile, one quick trip home to the US in May and I easily walked up to a Walgreens prescription counter, filled out a form, and got my free vaccination. It couldn't have been any easier. No appointments, no limitations, and no cost. That seems pretty successful to me.

Can’t tell if this meant to be a statement of fact, opinion or sarcasm. Over the course of 20 years have I have probably spent days of time tracking down NPEs in code being developed and after the fact in production releases. The amount of extra code and time spent to determine if variable is null certainly isn’t free.

Optional at least states the variable may not be referencing anything and provides helpful methods to chain mapping and conditionals to more easily deal with null values.

I have tried to understand the reason for this design limitation (no easy efficient peer to peer on phones) for a long time now.

I have come to the conclusion that the inability to communicate is not a fail but intended.

It seems like security and business interests are standing in the way, not primarily technical hurdles.

Mesh networking and service discovery are issues where technical solutions exist. But their application is slowed or blocked by network operators and phone/OS manufacturers to enforce a central authority and paying subscribers.

Privacy concerns are often used to explain these decisions, but I see those as mere excuses. Mesh node identifiers could just be randomly regenerated periodically or handled anonymously. Also firewall rules could easily ensure only authorized services can communicate.

It was interesting to observe how quickly similar P2P features were enabled in the fight against Covid-19 (contact tracing via BLE advertisement packets).

At the same time it is harder than ever to use, for example, Android's WiFi or Bluetooth in an App-controlled manner. Only the central authority, not the owner of the device nor independent App developers are apparently supposed to actually use the devices capabilities.

Quite frustrating.

I have been thinking about building a generic case/USB gadget to enable free communication, but such a solution would have many drawbacks versus using the internal radios.

What a strange, meandering comment. I'm not really sure what your thesis is. You seem to disagree with the article but the only real rebuttal you offer is "I know people, and everyone is good with fractions," which is more a comment on your interaction bubble than on the American populace.

Everything else is just a comment on A&W in the last decade or two and holds no bearing on the quarter/third pounder topic. The war was won even before your hierarchy of what's important could be standardized over large geographic areas, which is really unclear to me how much it matters/is accurate. feels like conjecture. I could postulate what I think is important to the American consumer, but, again, conjecture.

I think this post is pure grandstanding. Giving good feedback is hard, and almost no one knows how to do it. Now, combine that with someone that has no skin in the game and is sometimes posting in-bad-faith, you're just creating a sea of garbage to wade through. To then say "yeah but I'd do it because _maybe_ I'd get something useful" is silly. No you wouldn't. You'd create a legitimized channel (Slack, Discord, email list) for people that are _actually interested_ and then talk to them directly. Posts like this are mostly just to put content in front of eyes that _would_ join such a legitimized channel.

You figured out a way to do it (and people will set up businesses solely to do this) without having to think too hard. The creative things fraudsters will do is pretty wild. The time horizons they'll work on is also surprising - sometimes they move fast, sometimes they are quite patient and pose as an established business. And... sometimes they start out legit and then go to fraud when their business starts failing.

Give these guys a break - they are trying to onboard customers as fast as possible to reduce the headache involved. The only way to do it is automation. There will always be cases where things go wrong.
Racial categories are based on a very small number of superficial traits (such as skin tone and eye shape) and a host of cultural considerations (such as region of birth, language spoken, etc. etc.) You can group people this way, but it's not really an approximation to anything. Nor is it useful in a non-circular way. The only real reason to keep track of people's race is to ensure that...they're not being discriminated against on the basis of their race.
NO ONE was calling it 'the Trump vaccine.' No one. No one on the left was polarizing response to Covid other than complaining that the current government was downplaying the severity. Even when it was apparent to the entire planet that this was a serious pandemic the right was pretending nothing was wrong. Then it was not really a problem because the first places it hit were large urban centers (aka Democratic-voting areas) so maybe this wasn't so bad after all and we can just wait for 'herd immunity' was the claim of the Trump crowd.

You have a serious problem with reality and the truth if you think that people on the left waited until after the election to start pushing for a vaccine and for trying to take active steps to contain and control Covid spread.

Given the R0-value of Covid, the likelihood is fairly high that you spread the virus to other people. Your amazingly impressive immune system would have absolutely crushed the virus with the help of a vaccine, and perhaps you would have had 0 symptoms and been totally non-contagious. Someone could be in a hospital bed because of your decision. Food for thought.

It says in the thread, they already fixed it by having the madserver.net server reject connections.

Previously Microsoft parked it by having it handshake and send empty replies, which worked for other madserver-seeking games but choked these two.

Since switching to TCP rejects cleared the issue, a custom DNS entry was probably a viable workaround before the upstream fix.

It really blows my mind that there isn't a larger pushback against social media. I do see it here on HN occasionally, but I rarely encounter anyone in the real world that has a strong anti-social media stance. Even then, it tends to be more of an anti-facebook-as-a-company stance. There are outspoken groups for just about every real or perceived social ill, but I don't see it for social media. Maybe it is there, and I'm just not in the demographic of folks that hear about it.

I speak to a lot of folks in certain religious circles about it. A lot of the things the Church is typically against seems to be perpetuated by it--suicide, pornography, materialism. This is the same group of people that were vocally against rock music, drinking, sex, and D&D at various times in the past. The reaction seems to be "yeah, social media sucks" returns to scrolling on phone. My guess is that it's now such a foundational part of modern culture that it's impossible to avoid. It'd be like trying to live without automobiles, which requires an almost monastic dedication to the cause.
As a society we do a poor job helping children mature. We put them in environments where their models for behavior are peers instead of well-adjusted and behaved adults. So we end up with Lord of the Flys writ large. Many of the children-peer-models come from broken families, with significantly reduced ability to learn from stable well-adjusted adults. Worse, often their basic needs aren't being fully met, and they act out (bully, etc).

We need fewer systems that put children (especially younger children) in situations where they are primarily interacting with and modeling the behavior of other children. This includes both our education and digital social systems.

Some children have active and involved home and family lives. This helps. Some get more favorable interactions and time with teachers, this can help. Some find positive models in media (books and movies) and can help, but media is often negative.
Oddly, stating it this way feels like a reasonable explanation for why kids were so spared. During cold season, they are continuously exposed, it seems.

I'm still sceptical of any broad generalization here.
HPC still has a lot of Intel, because these systems run for ~5 years. But if I look at the Top500, there is systems with AMD Rome (and Milan and Naples). There is systems with IBM POWER9 (and POWER7) and the fastest system in the list is of course running Fujitsu A64FX. And there is exotic systems with Vector Engine, Marvell ThunderX2, Hygon Dhyana or Sunway.

And while Xeon Phi (and predecessors) used to be very popular, the accelerator market is now dominated by Nvidia (mostly Volta, but also Ampere and Pascal) and AMD Vega.

Actually only two systems (#7 in China and #10 in Texas) of the top 10 systems rely on Intel. And upcoming systems also feature a wild mix of architectures and vendors. So way less inertia that you might think.
I would suggest that this is a similar problem, but for a different reason. I'm not choosing a bank because they offer a 0.1%, 0.10% or 0.2% savings interest rate. That is pretty inconsequential.
Doesn't seem quite right to compare historical flu rates of the general population to mask mandated covid rates among vaccinated.
