300M Americans are on FB[0]

7/10 Americans are Christian[1]

So, there are around 210M American Christians on FB.

So, these posts reached roughly 60% of Christians. Sounds feasible to me. Top brands in a niche like Christians can get broad reach.

For the same reason the body positive types don't, people who drink or smoke etc. Society in general tolerates ones bad decisions.
It's unfair not to mention how much some historic art sucks. I went to the Tate Britain and a large section of the historic works were 'aristocrat pays someone to paint his family very flatteringly but with obvious lighting and perspective flaws'. If you take a step back and imagine a celebrity today commissioning the same kind of artwork, it becomes painfully obvious how egotistical and unworthy of praise these works are.

See also: displaying unfinished sketches. Nice for a collector but let's not pretend there's any artistic value in it.
Reminds me of some NOFX lyrics.

Jerry spent some time in Michigan
A twenty year vacation, after all he had a dime
A dime is worth a lot more in Detroit
A dime in California, a twenty dollar fine

Note that "a dime" refers to a "dime-bag" of weed, or $10 worth of the stuff. 20 years in prison for personal possession in Michigan (at the time), while it was a $20 infraction in California for the same amount.
It's not just code either, it's all intellectual property. Can't write a book without the company owning it.
In this context it's usually called "survivorship bias".
Oh to appreciate the aesthetics of pornography.
Yeah he lied because he had to, and he lied later about herd immunity too. Whether it was good policy or not, I can’t assume anything he says is based on fact alone.

Hi HN! Ampie is an extension that lets you discover backlinks to the page you are reading: either from HN, tweets, or blog posts that ampie scraped. It's been unexpectedly useful for myself: finding alternatives to libraries or apps I was going to use, see reviews for books, discover related blog posts or talks. I think of it as an assistant that helps you find connections you wouldn't have found otherwise.

Here is a 2min demo video of what it can do right now: https://twitter.com/posobin/status/1443269542323658753

I've been working on it for the past 1.5 years now, and there have been a bunch of features over that time, but now I am trying to simplify it and see if people like it if it is condensed to its essence. Give it a try and tell me what you think =)
>But you want Reddit to literally adopt 8chan's moderation policy,

I want reddit to adopt the public square's policy of allowing any content that isn't illegal, which also happens to be pretty much synonymous with 8chan's policy.

Do you consider the town square (which has the policy of allowing content that is not illegal) a center of inspiration for mass shootings? Could it be that the public square is not viewed as a place for inspiration of mass shooting, have anything to do with integration of many ideas and the fact that someone bringing bad ideas might actually be challenged in an environment where they are exposed to the general ideas of the community rather than an echo chamber of fellow nazis or whatever?

The nazi hall may have the same moderation policy as the town square, that doesn't mean I expect the same inspirations to come out of the nazi hall. The issue with the nazi hall is the powder-keg full of people reinforcing bad ideas, whereas a nazi in a more "normal" place like the public square might have some chance of being shamed or convinced their anti-social ideas are undesirable (despite the nazi hall and public square having same moderation policy). I don't want to shove more people into the nazi hall by banning them from the public square (especially when they're only being banned from the square because they have unconventional views on vaccines.)

---------------

In the censor's world, the people with undesirable ideas in the public square are kicked into 8chan where instead of their ideas being challenged they all end up in a self reinforcing chamber. The proportional amount of people wanting a mass shooting may be tenfold that in the public square, leading to more compressed exposure including by other people who were originally just anti-vax or whatever.
And the people running the public square turn around and say "see, 8chan allows any ideas, and that's what happens when you do that!"
The US government can't mandate that censorship tact, right? Sounds like a first amendment violation?
That is where MQTT-SN comes in. I have used it over NB-IOT and then a gateway to full MQTT over mTLS to AWS IoT.

Vercel solves this by basing it on the github user that's pushing to the repo. Something to consider.
I felt more like what people had problems with was unnegotiable nature of logical thinkers and their plans(add air quotes as necessary). People expected to be involved but weren’t, and only plans that ignore them worked. That no one liked.

This reminds me of a man who ate the exhibit at a Miami museum consisting of a banana taped to a wall and then proclaimed that it was an art performance [1]. The exhibit was supposedly going for $120K-150K.

Creating more money steals value from everyone who has traded their work for money, and creating less of it adds value. So you are right, it doesn't create more or less resources or products, but it does change existing values of resources and labor.
> I'm pretty sure I could train a non-programmer to do a specialized type of programming task in a few months if it were a crisis even though that person doesn't have a computer science degree.

Then you’re either underestimating the complexity of programming or overestimating general skill level:

I have no reason to think intensive care of respiratory illnesses is easier than code.

I don’t know enough medicine to say what typical treatment is, but a quick search says the entire USA has 93k ICU beds, that the number occupied by COVID patients went from 3500 in June to 26,000 in September, that the total number of COVID patients (including non-ICU) peaked at 97800 in September (and 133,250 in Jan) and that there are oxygen shortages in various hospitals worldwide because too many patients need the same treatment at the same time.

Given how easy it is to make oxygen — and to make something that makes it — a shortage of it can only happen when there are enough other things that also need to be fixed that it isn’t the limiting factor.

As someone else said elsewhere on this thread, the actual innovation is the vaccine.
Win % is a really useless metric in this business, try computing win % for something like long vol strategies (for example things like what Taleb did back in the day), it might come out to 5% or lower and still make money. And because every trade has a counterparty there's plenty of strategies that win 95% or more of the time but eventually lead to ruin. Returns pretty much never have a symmetric distribution.

Computing win % is akin to measuring software quality in terms of number of lines of code - only someone who has no first-hand experience would ever attempt to do that.
The assumptions underlying Brownian motion of prices have been disputed for quite a while now: the normality hypothesis can be rejected on most if not all historical financial returns series, as it turns out that most returns are actually fat tailed processes with very significant (and variable over time) correlations between distinct assets, which makes research around portfolio theory even harder to conduct.
Isn't that survivorship bias? Most artists from any period can't compete with Michelangelo. And why bother trying to compete with it today when we can get a Michelangelo print for one millionth of the price?
I’m hoping some smart ass offers to buy it from the artist for $100,000, but only on the condition that he not return the money to the museum.

Clearly the museum got a good deal; good luck showing damages in court! Mwuhahah.

This paper is trash. On defining hate speech, "we focus on textual content that is distinctively characteristic of these
forums", so, yes, banning specific subreddits resulted in less of that content in the overall Reddit. Did it make Reddit a more friendly place? Probably not as tensions have never been higher.
There are plenty of such examples. Some of the most reputable scientists of that field have been banned for sharing their opinion on Youtube.
Apologies, I should have been clearer, if something is ambiguous and a government acts dodgy, I don't dismiss it. Buy things like no planes on 911, flat earth, chakras , reptile overlords, magic and so forth, I am default sceptical.
Well, I can tell you from a lot of research in purchasing headsets to use in an adult education environment: it'll have to be round about $1000 all-in to be competitive. That's what Oculus Quest 2s with Elite Straps through Oculus for Business or Windows MR or HTC Vive headsets with min-spec VR laptops will cost you. Pico Neo 3 is a little cheaper, but it would have also come at signficant extra development cost for us.

Basically, any way I tried to slice the problem of "full VR system I can box up and send to people without having Facebook spy on them" came out to $1000/ea. We ultimately went with Oculus for Business to keep everything small and easy to setup.

Ostracizing and later persecuting Jews was supported by large parts of the population in 1930's Germany and Eastern Europe. According to your logic, that made it OK too then?
It's a 4 1/2 minute video promoting the product that has been viewed 32 million times. Considering it likely cost Nike <$50K and average YouTube ad CPM is ~$3.50, it may be one of the most successful social media ads Nike has ever produced.

First, this is a fun implementation and I love it.

Second, you could as easily embed an infinite size dataset into an infinitely long binary string and say that you've reproduced your dataset with a 'single' parameter! That's sort of what this is doing, with some extra steps.
Just to add some other insight here...

My Wife, a ICU RN+CCRN spent most of her 2020 on the COVID floor. It was pretty brutal for her.

She has coworkers, of equal status, who experienced pandemic alongside her first hand - who were extremely hesitant to get the vaccine. This includes several months after the initial rollout to staff.
I am not defending religion per se. I am just refuting the affirmation that religion should be blamed for wars that were carried out by people using religion as a justification.

> Plenty of purely religious wars have happened

I'd love to hear examples of those, but let's agree beforehand that a "purely religious war" would be one where there had no conflict over resources or ethnic-national divisions?

Just to add my +1. I have also never seen Solarpunk as a "just slap solar panels on houses" but rather using the minimum possible technology to enhance what nature has to offer and live alongside it. Kind of like mixing the practices indigenous peoples with minimalist tech. The Cuba example you used is nice. After my family fled Cuba they worked hard to ensure our household kept many of the same cultural practices. That partially informs my view of Solarpunk as well.
The hard part here is "ultimately shown to be dishonest" - who is privy to what is said in boardrooms and sale negotiations? How about just examples where the investors managed to get out just before the bubble popped?

The canonical example would be Broadcast.com, which made Mark Cuban a billionaire.

YouTube is not a megafone. TV and newspapers is. YouTube is just a medium. People still have to find those videos, click links, share them and so on. Unless, of course, YouTube algos are putting them on the front page because they are generating more ads profit.

And you could not stop information from flowing around in 1980-s (@see "Samizdat") and hundredfold cannot do it today. If you think then closing Parler solved the problem of internal division in USA - no, it just made it worse.
The thing is that death is not the only strongly negative outcome of CV19. It's not uncommon for young and formerly healthy individuals to experience long term effects, sometimes with debilitating severity. That is just as much worth avoiding as death is and needs to be factored into risk calculations.

Do both! I loved the book and am following the podcast. There's a lot of new commentary about the trial and the material that came out during discovery (which wasn't available to the author when he wrote the book).
So you visited the Tate Modern and, out of all the pieces, the one you recall an anecdote about was the obnoxious detritus? Seems like it did the job.
Wow what a substantive and interesting comment. Thanks
If there was a problem with the vaccine we probably would have noticed something by the time a billion people got injected with it.

These skeptics need to put up some serious evidence if they want to be taken seriously.
And are they wary because they are vaccine experts, or is it because they have been constantly exposed to anti-vaxx propaganda for a year and a half?
I could see that, but when first learning about firewalls and such, start in an isolated environment.. test with VMs, old machines, whatever.
Putting machines on the internet misconfigured can both put you at risk, but can also mean another device ends up in the hands of a botnet - thinking the internet outside of a firewall is any friendlier than the "real world" in the matrix is just fantasy.

If someone is interested in weapons or guns, you wouldn't want them to try out their skills by putting them straight into a war zone.

If someone put a tutorial on a forum for gas-engineers, about how great and easy redoing the pipes in their house because they bought a blow torch, they'd be concerns for the safety of them and the people/houses around them, surely.

> I think that even people who do have some interest in running their own firewall, may not be familiar with VLANs.

Even the all-in-one appliances/disros provide a lot of documentation on the topic
It's far too varied to give you a small list. You can easily find story after story online if you look — though they're being purged as fast as the automated systems can manage it as this story demonstrates.

This is pretty standard operating procedure for vaccines since I started paying attention. I have children that suffered reactions from various vaccines — I also have been personally vaccine damaged. I try not to just repeat random stories online, so I will just keep this to my family and my immediate acquaintance. I've seen lots of things from a bout of severe allergies centered around the injection point to being severely ill following a shot to lasting new symptoms including new autoimmune disorders, or odd things like unusual hair growth. I had a friend who had a child die, that was previously perfectly healthy, from the disease (autopsy report) they were being vaccinated for the previous week.

Presenting a question about the vaccine being responsible, even for minor stuff, generally results in being gas lit. "Impossible", "You don't know what you're talking about", "Didn't happen", "Just a Coincidence" even when all rational reason indicates that the vaccine should at least be considered. These anecdotes are consistently shot down online for various reasons, but nobody seems to connect the dots that when you systemically ignore evidence there is no mathematical model that will somehow find what is really happening. The data is just lost because those who are supposed to be trusted to collect it are ignoring so much of it.

You look at all the comments here about the irrationality of those who don't accept the data, etc. This is not about data. This is about a loss of trust. You can show all the data in the world, but if the trust bridge has been burned then it's for naught. You can't cross the bridge again with a mountain of data because it's irrelevant. That bridge is being burned at the ground level every day, one by one, by a medical system that really doesn't care much about individuality or parental perspectives when they don't match their own.

This story itself continues to burn the trust bridge. We don't want your stories, your personal experiences, you cannot be heard. There is no discussion. Be silent. That's not how to build trust. It's purely an attempt to cull the information base in favor of the chosen outcome.
This is true. The fact that we allow an addictive stimulant with severe withdrawal effects into our offices is insane. Drugs like coffee have no place in a professional culture.
Appreciated. FPGAs are something I've been aware of for a long while now but haven't used before, so recs are always good.
I don't think spreading misinformation about vaccines is in anyway comparable to the examples of hollywood or the moon landing, and I do in fact think it's a perfect fit for the analogy:

It is an indisputable fact that there are people dying every day because they have decided not to take a vaccine based on misinformation. That group of people is also causing the deaths of others by overwhelming the emergency facilities of hospitals. Personally, I would argue that this danger is very much clear and present.
Soooooo I realized that commercial software is no longer onpremise (Oracle) but SaaS. :D

Anecdotally, $2,000 per user per year would be a really expensive SaaS app (right?). Not exactly apples to apples but so far I think $2,000/user/yr is a good ballpark for open source value. Note also that the blog post indicates a 50% markdown in labor value because companies pay a tax to direct employee time, so people should expect to get paid less when working self-determinedly on open source.
> We don't expect any company which raises VC money to give 100% ownership of their code to the VCs.

If they sell 100% of their shares to the VCs, the VCs have 100% ownership of the code, because they own the company.

What Science Knows Now About the Risk of Covid-19 Transmission on Planes
I got the vaccine and I'm pro-vaccine in general (for vaccines that are long term preventative, not single-year preventative, ex: never gotten flu vaccine) however I keep finding myself wanting to defend the anti-covid-vaxxers as they're fighting a fight I sort of feel like I understand.
I'm not going to do an in-depth rebuttal of these types of articles, because I'm (1) not qualified to do so, (2) not inclined to do so, and (3) lack the time needed to disentangle the science-adjacent claims from the standard conspiracy chaff about freedom, pharmaceutical companies, &c.

But two points:

* Being a neurosurgeon, even a highly educated and titled one, does not make someone an expert on immunology. If he was an expert on immunology, he would be an immunologist. This is exactly the reason why there are stringent rules about diagnoses and evaluations in hospitals: doctors are no less susceptible to expert confusion than the rest of us.

* mRNA vaccines are a new technology. But they're not that new: research into mRNA transport and delivery began in the late 1970s[1]. By the 1990s, they were recognized as the frontier of vaccine development, and were primarily stymied by an absence of funding. Vaccinology's history spans 300 years, the majority of which involved stabbing people with unknown quantities of pathogens without any real understanding of what we were doing. mRNA represents a significant and positive increase in the use of our modern understanding of immune systems to develop medicine. That doesn't make them safe, but they do represent the safest approach (in terms of healthcare outcomes) we've had to vaccinology in its history.

The most memorable art exhibitions for me are modern. There's a lot of trash, but one particularly memorable piece is (or was, it's been a while) hanging right on top of the exit door of the Berlinische Galerie. It's just a unpretentious ticker that scrolls a single sentence in red dots: "Do you feel better now?". True, anyone could have done that. But the placement, the simplicity, the style resonated with me in that moment so that I remember that ticker better than Mona Lisa in Paris.
I mean, Android has the Linux Kernel in there somewhere, but can we really call it a Linux system?
Hmm maybe fraud? Breach of contract at most? Not a crime. Arguably he delivered something. It could also been just an invisible artwork.

Was the money supposed to be in the artwork as a medium? Maybe there’s a Bitcoin address on the frame or something.
