You've set up a fine strawman to burn down: I never even implied what you suggest.
Neither of your assertions are related to what is being discussed. Nuclear bombs "work" and bad people would do horrible things with them, but that doesn't say anything about if we should use them.
Saw this too recently - https://www.cnx-software.com/2021/09/27/zb-gw03-esp32-based-..., quite nice
Of course not. Nobody is endorsing for that. The problem is these are hard problems to solve and forming a consensus is a hard problem in addition to it. If we keep flip flopping on every new data point we will have more misses than hits.
> Disinformation is literally killing people by contributing to the continued spread of a pandemic. It's absolutely insane to me that you would genuinely ask why disinformation is a problem.

I wonder if you ever considered the possibity that not everything that goes against your current beliefs is disinformation.
Yes, they are. Almost every one has one or more mobile devices that we carry with us at all times.

These devices have various messaging/social media services that due to social expectations we use to interact with friends, family.

It's very, very hard to laser curate the kind of messaging you get, even if you know how to do it and are willing to do it (for example for some stuff you have to mute friends and family or otherwise block them).

Newspapers were much more hit and miss. You'd have to go out and buy a newspaper, their region was at best national, etc.

It's the proverbial drinking from a firehose.
"Ooga chacka, ooga, ooga, ooga chacka..."
For those out of the loop, the Airbus A220 is actually the Bombardier C-Series, the plane that posed such a threat to Boeing and it's 737 that they outright tried to kill Bombardier with shady regulatory practices to avoid having to compete with it.

Thankfully Airbus stepped in to save the day and took a majority partnership with Bombardier to save Bombardier's C-Series.

Here's an insightful post on the topic from an old HN discussion.

Whilst I think IKEv2 is the best non-wireguard protocol, I've found the seamless roaming/no reconnects of WireGuard to be magical. It is never like that with IKEv2.
Agreed. NPR it VERY left biased and it's damn evident.
I believe that tradeoffs between individual freedom and the common good are necessary. So I am biased in favour of intervening when it's necessary.

But it's very hard to see how these social network interventions are well thought out and have considered all the possible side effects, many of which are mentioned in other comments. I suppose they're tracking the data and will change course if this doesn't work how they expected..

Still, rather than being a case of deplatforming harmful speech, these look like amputations of entire conversations from the service, maybe to take the spotlight off the degenerate nature of Youtube as a human communication platform.

It's clear that the ability of bad characters to screw up an entire system, as you say, is at least partially enabled by Youtube's incentives, and the features those lead to (the old radicalization = engagement fiasco for example). A better way to combat disinformation would be to understand how Youtube often brings the worst out of its viewers, and to fix that. But it's not clear who has the incentive or the obligation to do it.

The alternative is to move the conversation to other types of social networks, with other incentives. But that seems even harder.

What is clear to me is that having most of the world get their news from a service that algorithmically (I think, it's unclear from the article) bans a fully vaccinated, pro-vaccine M.D. for suggesting people who have been infected have immunity (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28693407), to give an example, is not ideal. If they choose to do this instead of tackling the problems in their recommendation system, which rewards disinformation and other harmful types of content in all sorts of topics, not just vaccines, then it's even worse.
Project Veritas has a history of editing and presenting footage in a misleading way as well as trying to plant fake stories in order to later discredit them[1]. There's an asymmetry here to you presenting information that based on past behaviour was probably published in bad faith and expecting someone to either accept that information as factual or go to the (much greater) effort of trying to debunk it.

I think it's fair for anyone in this case to dismiss the information as pure noise, given the source.

I can't edit for some reason, but some seem to think that I was responding to the content of the article. I literally could not read the content because of it being paywalled. Hence my comment.
So... you totally avoided the question. I wasn't asking about mask mandates, or who their leader has surrounded (or not surrounded) himself with.

I was asking about anti-vaccine components of their platform.

Can you point me toward any?

Or were you just speculating?
Seeing how vaccination does not at all prevent you from contracting and spreading the virus, doesn't that make everyone terrorists in your view?
Social pressure to consume any substance is not cool. But if it's a mutual desire, and in the right context, alcohol (or coffee I guess) can be a nice catalyst for bonding with coworkers and clients. It should by no means be a requirement of course.
Farmers through all of history and to this day are absolutely never self-sufficient. They are at the mercy of 'the gods', aka the weather, at all times. One bad flood, one freeze, one week of ill-timed rain, and they are destitute. That's the perfect environment to breed superstition.
Nobody would give two shits about me or my painting if I drew colored squares first.

Actually let me propose an experiment: Take two people: One a famous artist, and one an unknown complete amateur. Someone who hasn't held a brush since primary school. Have them both paint 6 pieces each in a unique but low technical skill style. Then randomize which artist signs which piece.

The success of the artworks will be strongly correlated with who is claimed to have drawn it, and uncorrelated with who actually did.

>I've been reading about coronavirus vaccine attempts since SARS. I've watched one attempt after another fail -- often in spectacular ways.

I'd like to know what these attempts were and why the current vaccines are different. Do you know a good source of information about this? Or, can you list some of these attempts?
If you want a specific example, here’s one of the more interesting ones specifically because it was outside of the kind of institutions that would benefit from winning a war. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People%27s_Crusade

That said, your criteria represent an overly narrow view of history because most possible wars didn’t happen. You need to both gather people into a fighting force and then actually start fighting to have a war so while religion might be a pretext was also quite frequently the cause.

And of course religious violence was often at a much smaller scale than an overt war. Add up smaller conflicts all the way down to stoning someone specific and collectively you have an enormous death total across human history.

> It's that he did it first.

By that logic Kim Kardashian is also a great artist. Because she is the first to popularize idea of being famous for being famous. As long as people, who claim Pollock is a great artist, also admit that Kim Kardashian is a great artist, I am good with the argument.
I call bullshit here. If you're that worried, get the J&J vaccine, it's just like all the others. Multiple orders of magnitude more people have died or come down with long haul COVID versus had these side effects so the argument that you're doing the safe thing does not hold water.
> They're so fragile. Sad.

Careful now, you're showing your power level.
some of the ICs they used were socketed and with time (and perhaps transportation to a few too many midimaze parties) those connections would start to fail resulting in more bombs than one would like.

there were two solutions: take the device apart and reseat the chips methodically, one by one. -or- lift the machine 3" off the desk and drop it flat to produce a terrifying crunch sound, if you dared.

the second method was more effective and less risky in the end.
That's one thing I miss about that era. Every year your mind would be blown as the seemingly impossible was rendered in real time on your computer. Each year was a massive leap in capabilities.

These days there's still a lot of boundaries being broken but it feels less pronounced than it did in the 80s and 90s. The difference between HD and 4k is pretty small from a reasonable viewing distance vs the difference from SD to HD. Never mind the jump from 8 bit colour pallets to 16 bit colours, CGA to VGA, or even the first time I hooked up a colour monitor to my Amstrad after using a literal green screen for years.
That's a neat idea. I wonder if that breaks down for open-source repos with lots of contributors, or does Vercel have different pricing in that case?
Well, the face of the government's response to the pandemic, Fauci, went on 60 minutes and stated flatly that masks didn't work. About a year later he went back on TV and was asked about his earlier comments about masks and he admitted - again, in no uncertain terms - that his previous comments stating that masks didn't work were said specifically to protect mask supplies for health care workers. Seems like he lied to me.
I think generally it is anxiety, but I have also experienced paranoia. That is, usually the feeling is "I feel really bad and worried and I think something is going to go wrong", but there have definitely been a few times where I'm sitting looking out the window terrified that each person is going to knock on the door, or just properly scared of every little sound. I would call those paranoia.
Like your other reply said, MQTT-SN can use UDP so may be a better fit in some situations. It's a shame that MQTT-SN hasn't seen wider use, but there isn't that much support at the moment. The protocol is being standardised at the moment, and there has been an MQTT to MQTT-SN gateway as part of the Eclipse Paho project for a while now. The Mosquitto project has the aim of adding support for MQTT-SN - it's just not as high a priority as other things at the moment unfortunately though. If it's something that's important to you, please get in touch.

The problem comes when the rendering itself is the bottleneck. You can't put that on a Worker because it's so entwined with the DOM. We ran into this several times at a past company where our UIs rendered elements in the 10s of thousands, and we had no real recourse except to optimize everything to death (and things were still laggy). In one case we implemented our own, bespoke, crappy equivalent of suspended rendering and it was a mess but it was just barely worth it because we were so desperate.
Rendering webpages is already GPU-accelerated by default in most browsers and platforms.

Covered by Medicare in the US, as well. But, of course, Medicare itself remains age-restricted.
You are not misunderstanding. While there is no doubt that there is a premium on taking more risk, ROI is also a very debatable metric to consider in a vacuum, though. If you only care about ROI then you either can afford to risk everything because you have cash/safer investments in place (so you are really taking less risk), or you are YOLOing.

> it could tank your investment, but if it doesn't and you make more money then you're criticizing something that never happened

This way of reasoning is basically survivorship bias in a nutshell, and per my direct experience as a financial professional has brought down many investors who were too confident about their "strategy".

To bring this argument to the extreme: if you cared only about ROI, you could just go long some penny stock with exaggerate leverage and make big money "unless proven otherwise". In practice, what happens is you get euphoric for a couple days while you see the money shoot up to the sky, and then lose all of it to a margin call at the opening the very next day. I've seen it happen with my own eyes.
> I didn't say that offering your opinion is the same as spreading misinformation.

> Anecdotes and opinions should be clearly presented as such, so that everyone who encounters them can decide how much they matter to them. That's what I'm arguing

Agreed. Though, even data driven analysis is best-effort these days and that is a fact that folks like to ignore in these kinds of discussions. If someone has to make abundantly clear that something is anecdotal or opinion based I can agree to that, but I think a counter-weight needs to be assigned to data: explain the potential for gaps and how historically fraught this area of data has been. That arms folks with the information to assign weights themselves.
> Functional programs are constructed using only pure functions

If that's your definition, functional programs basically don't exist in the real world. Wikipedia (and I) don't agree with that [1], it specifically separates out pure FP [2].

My understanding is that Overshoot and Ringing are mostly amplitude-related phenomena, they happen even if the transfer function has a phase of zero over the spectrum, as long as the gain is greater than one over the right part of the spectrum.

On the other hand, pilot induced oscillation, and the bullwhip effect seem to need some amount of phase-shift or delay to happen.

We cannot. Diversity, Freedom, Centralization. Pick two.

What has kinda worked in some countries is splitting up into different areas and letting them run their own affairs -- e.g. swiss style cantons.

But that type of arrangement is very fragile given the organizational advantages of centralization and countries like Switzerland are notable because of their exceptionality.

In the book "I, Woz", Steve Wozniak explains that Jobs hired a random hacker Rod Holt to design switching mode power supply unit for their Apple II computer. Jobs paid him $200 a day which was a lot of money by that time. Rod did the best work he could.

That libertarian/conservative talking point is often misstated, which intentionally or not becomes a red herring. Their claim isn't (or shouldn't be) that Youtube or Facebook or Twitter, in taking actions like these, aren't engaging in censorship. Their claim is that it's legal and not a violation of free speech (1A in the US), i.e. it's not government censorship, because that only applies when government is taking the actions.

There are several problems with this, outlined in Clarence Thomas's recent concurring opinion in Biden v. Knight. Dominant communications platforms are essentially part of the public square, and two well-established legal principles could come into play to restrict their actions: public accommodations and common carriers.

There's the additional problem that government is influencing how social media companies police content, not only indirectly through fear of retribution, but even directly. One instance that recently got media attention:

Hey Robert, I see you’re in New York City. Would you be comfortable explaining your comments to the 2/3 of black New Yorkers who are hesitant to get the vaccines?
Companies could pay taxes rather than pay politicians less to not-pay-taxes (1).

1. Taxes could fund grants that instead of being passed around among friends of friends at certain universities are paid to those who provide the tools most useful to the most people (2).

2. People could be defined as actual living, breathing people, not corporations (3).

3. Corporations that complain about #2 could have their executives held personally liable for crimes, frauds, etc.

These things are human problems, not technical problems or infrastructure problems. There is nothing stopping the US and UK from doing them (as for other countries, there's the US and UK intelligence services mulling around in their back yards to stop anyone from doing them...)
Those are not antivirals, which was quite clearly the subject of the post you're replying, so your rebuttal is entirely false on all accounts.
What are you talking about? How did using classes instead of functions improve performance?

exploitation is a one-to-one mapping, while empowerment is one-to-many?

From your first communication it's a very combative communication style and it continues that way to the end.

Business may need to determine if its worth doing business with a customer. For stripe, it may simply not have been worth trying to business with you. The good news - TONS of other providers in this space, including for very high charge back industries (adult, tatoo, strip clubs etc) so you should be able to get services if needed.
19th century US farmers

They were self-sufficient in the sense that there was no one coming to help in case of emergency. That doesn't mean they ever felt secure. Entire families regularly died for one or more of dozens of causes: starvation, freezing weather, tornadoes, human sickness, livestock sickness, crop failure, drought, dangerous animals, Indian attack, crime, etc. Some of them might have pretended at a "control over their lives", but few modern Americans would trade places with them.
Is it not just a case of survivorship bias? I'd expect that the historical stuff in museums is carefully (not randomly) selected. There were probably all kinds of crap art from the same era that simply got trashed.

There are plenty of people that recognize the Seventh Symphony, but it's not what people are chanting at soccer matches or their first thought when this composer is mentioned. Still, you could realize after enough listening that they come from the same dude.

I think my idea is closer to providing two good adversaries if this piece were rated by an adversarial network. If the generated Tenth can't even clear these bars, then I would be more accepting of someone's negative or hostile opinion... and only if that opinion was formed after knowing the composition was made by machine.
We've changed the title to the subtitle now, which presumably summarizes the article better.
"Solarpunk is an art movement that envisions how the future might look if humanity succeeded in solving major contemporary challenges with an emphasis on sustainability problems such as climate change and pollution. Solarpunk describes a multitude of media such as literature, fine arts, architecture, fashion, music, tattoos, and video games in a similar manner to adjacent movements such as steampunk and cyberpunk as well as more established art movements like Baroque and Art Nouveau and Impressionism. The iconography of Solarpunk focuses on renewable energies such as solar and wind power."
