So to comment on one of those symptoms: chest pain. I do experience this when resting, but I get particularly strong pain when doing any kind of exercise. If it were stress related you would expect exercise to improve symptoms not make them worse.

I would also add that while I was certainly a bit depressed by the lockdown, I live in the UK where we are no longer locked down and my mental health has improved greatly. But I am still unable to participate in vigorous exercise, and tire much much more easily than my friends. And this is despite going for regular walks during lockdown.

Finally, I would comment that post viral fatigue is a well established phenomenon for other viral diseases including flu. And has also been noted to be particularly bad in other coronaviruses like the original SARS. So it’s hardly a stretch to think that cocos might have similar effects.
Note that high fees aren't a prerequisite for consumer protection. European credit cards offer full protection, despite having capped interchange fees.
I always envied American Houses because they are so cheap and you get so much house for your money. Yes, they do feel flimsy to a German, especially the doors and windows, but that's something that would be easy to change (and I guess there must be some manufacturer that produces more sturdy doors in the US??).
On the other hands, there are lots of brick&mortar single-family homes here in Germany, built in the 1970s or 80s, that no one wants to live in anymore. Poorly isolated, old-fashioned room size without open kitchen, often wet basement... quite a few are getting torn down already, or at least remodelled. Why put so much effort in a house that won't last 50 years anyway?
Well, the Democrats are even more misinformed. But yes, the media in general is scaring the shit out of people. That Democrats are the worse afflicted is secondary to that point.
There is already Bitcoin with basically free Lightning Network transactions, so it's more like people vote with their wallets that they prefer (at least for now) paying this 3% tax instead of few bucks per year for channels opening/closing. And it works in the same internet market (real life and cards is a bit more complicated because of existing payment infrastructure).

So nobody force Americans to pay, actually, they do that voluntarily.
Sigh. This trope again?

Light frame wood construction (the technical term for this) is a robust, strong, and energy and environmentally friendly way to build when done right.

You can do anything poorly, but you can build very, very good structures with wood. Wood buildings failing during storms, seismic events, and over time because of water intrusion are construction quality issues--not fundamental problems with the material.

Masonry buildings are not necessarily superior. They use much more concrete (huge producer of CO2), are often trickier to air seal (energy penalty), and trickier to insulate (energy penalty).
I agree about the slow startup, poor error messages and stacktraces, and that itself makes Julia a very rocky beginner experience. The number is times junior engineers have asked me to help resolve method errors is comically large. Unfortunately, when you know what is going on with dispatch you can see through the stacktrace quite easily, and this makes it difficult for experienced Julia devs to see why the status quo is a problem. I don’t imagine this will be easy to get the ayes for a change here, let alone what the change should be.

It is particularly frustrating when Julia advocates don’t see how much friction this causes and when they claim multiple dispatch and performance make this friction worth it. Surely core devs have seen beginners struggle as part of tutorials. Maybe they are just hoping these people will learn and figure it out? I’ve seen way too many people give up and just use python instead because they are not thinking about performance and just want things to work. I agree that I’m not seeing how Julia will take more of the general programming pie, especially given the work on getting JIT to Python in the next couple of years + ease of writing rust/go/zig, unless there’s significant more work put into reducing latency or PackageCompiler.jl.

But I don’t find the ecosystem fragmented or documentation poor. In fact one of the examples I give for great documentation is the Julia Manual. Can you provide examples where you find documentation lacking? As for Unicode glyphs, I find it hard to read too but domain scientists find it really easy and since that is the target audience I think the encouragement is warranted.
its really terrible, apple should just delete siri, its too embarrassing
>DR downtime was about an hour, but the bank fired him anyway

The US, not even once.

The guy should have had "reload in 10", an outage window and config review. There must be more to this story than it being a firable offence for causing a P2 outage for an hour.
Didn't we used to have long TTLs on DNS hostnames to help with this very reason?
> I have 100% confidence in inflation

Why would you have 100% confidence in a physical theory with zero physical evidence?

>The problem of inflation is that there are too many variations on the idea

Yes, vague speculations not proven to have any connection with physical reality tend to be like this - see also the 10^500 string theories.

Inflation will not turn out to be a physical phenomenon. There is no reason to expect so.
Assuming your innuendo is correct, who do you consider this an injustice towards, Tesla or Owen Diaz?
Brazilian, here.

I didn't know about this tweet. Looking for it, I found an article that interviewed him [1].

The twitter doctor is the president of a respiratory disease association in Sao Paulo. He claims the young lady had a "drug-induced hepatitis" after taking 18mg of IVM daily for a week. "She is very close to need a transplant".

The doctor remarks the drug safety, "Ivermectin is a safe drug, it has been used over many years. The toxicity cases are rare.". Then disapproves the off-label prescription of IVM as treatment for covid given the lack of scientific evidence it works -- "so far".

He, then, explains the regular treatment schedule with IVM: one pill a day, once. Exceptionally, can be taken up to 3 days. And, again, criticizes people for taking it often.

He ends saying: "In summary: there is no early state treatment for covid that is scientifically proven to work so far. In mild cases, most people progress well (...) without taking any drugs".

The article also reproduces a statement from the drug manufacturer Merk, former patent holder of IVM. The statements says that pre-clinical and clinical studies showed no evidence the drug might work for covid.

Afterwards they show some figures from a survey done by the Brazilian Medical Association. From the interviewed doctors, 65,3% believes CQ is ineffective to treat covid, and 58,6% believes IVM is ineffective.

Thenm they report some common side effects of HCQ + IVM: increased QT interval, diarrhea, headaches, compromise of liver functions, etc.

---

There are documented cases of deaths from people taking the covid-kit. See [2].

---

This seems to have become a recurrent theme in HN, and, for once, Brazil is ahead of the curve. I might aggregate information from the press and medical associations and make a proper answer next time this show up.

If the covid treatment trend in America follows the same path it had in Brazil, get ready for: ozone therapy (in the anus), and HQC inhalation.

Don’t forget WhatsApp users switching to Signal and possibly never returning
I spent a few years living in a concrete apartment in Asia. No central air, just window AC units. Single-ply glass windows. Nothing sealed. No heat in the winter. Stuff breaks whenever it hits the concrete floor. Doors made of solid wood jam up during temperature and humidity changes. Concrete/plaster always chipping off the walls. You don’t hear people talking but you hear everything they drag on the floor quite clearly.

I’ve experienced the opposite of American construction quality abroad and if anything missed the stick and plywood comforts I spent most of my life in. Central air with ducting is incredible. Dropping gadgets on wooden flooring doesn’t break them. The insulation in the walls keeps the power bills lower. And wooden construction can be quite hardy during earthquakes. There’s a tradeoff - houses in USA might not last centuries but they can provide a lot of comfort with limited structural maintenance for decades.
It's a tricky situation. CPUs reduce their clock speed when you use vector instructions so you can't enable everything by default. You have to use LTO+PGO or the compiler won't know if your code needs to be vectorised at the expense of slowing down everything else. That's one reason why O3 is sometimes slower than O2 or Os
I'm still not convinced that any of the digital assistants have their job figured out. They are useful when driving, or if you want to listen to music when cooking. Beyond that I fail to see an actual use case. They could be a major benefit to disabled people I suppose.
So you know two people who have had symptomatic covid, and you think that's enough data for you to determine it's overblown?
Absolutely. Everybody I know who has done shrooms in a responsible manner (starting small to test tolerances, having a sober friend as spotter) has usually had a great time and never had a bad trip become a tragedy.

Also, for the love of god, don't inject shroom tea. It only becomes psychoactive if you digest it, and the spores can actually start to grow in your bloodstream which is definitely a bad time.
"Covid is overblown and isn't much different than flu"

US Right-wingers since 2020.

Meanwhile: 700K Covid deaths in the USA.
No, you're just throwing around disinformation. Anecdotes aside, I think your cousin made the right decision to get the vaccine. The virus would have likely done the same and worse. Unless they could have avoided it forever, the choices would be the vax or a full assault by a live replicating virus. 700,000 people have died in the US now from it. Better to live.
> People can be more informed

Manipulated.
The article poses the question but doesn't try to answer it. There are some plausible sounding answers here in the comments. Mostly that it is cheaper to do it that way. But wouldn't that be true elsewhere too?
I’ve long wondered about this problem and why phone companies don’t just defer to their users. I understand why some people need the option, but I’d gladly opt out of accepting any foreign-originating calls since that’s just not relevant to me. Then they can use all the modern phone routing tech on my number to further enforce number verification etc and hugely cut down on my exposure to scammers. If a lot of people opted into this setting, it would help everyone as there’d be herd immunity as scammers would have a much harder time finding people who they could even contact.
When had all sms or phone service in your country gone down? Sure a carrier might have issues - but there are other carriers who can pick up the load and there are likely government contingency plans for just that situation.

Same doesn’t apply to WA.
You have to open the app, but you can see phone numbers in airplane mode.
> So why does long covid get this much attention, while CFS remains obscure?

I think it’s probably simply a numbers thing. A lot more people with long focus than other forms of CFS. Hopefully it will get a lot more attention in the present circumstances.
Almost no one cares enough to pay for high availability and more expensive engineers who can service this. Until that changes, maintenance windows are here to stay.
> DNA test that tell you nothing but where your ancestors lived only 200 years ago

They don't even do that. They just tell you where people with similar DNA live today or whenever the DNA was collected which is likely to be very recently.

It looks interesting but I would like to see some examples. Can you please add a couple to the landing page? Thanks.
Edit: forgive my enthusiasm. Voice assistants seen as command-lines make me excited.

No it's not! The issue is that we as developers can't actually innovate on it. Look at what Apple did in its heyday with the App Store. Now it's commonplace, back then it was mindblowingly innovative unicorn goodness (I'm a bit biased :) ). And I understand, you can critique the App Store for many things, but the iPhone would be worse without it.

And they didn't create an "App Store" or any other free extensible model for Siri. They should have, because people are on aggregate more creative than any big company including Apple -- thanks to survivorship bias.

What Siri is actually quite good at is interpreting single words or small sentences. So it would be a perfect spoken command-line interface. I have had genuine situations where I needed to talk and couldn't type, but apps aren't allowed to make use of Siri, so I can't talk to apps, I need to type.

Siri and other voice assistants are amazing when you look at it as we look at a command-line.
There definitely are nicer windows. I’ve found that more solid/hardwood doors jam during humidity changes. The flimsy ones don’t get stuck when hung well. But you can punch a hole through them if you are angry!
Honestly, being smart is overrated. Granted, it's better than being dumb, but being hard working, having social skills, being at the right time at the right place, having grit, having a head start in life (money, status, etc), looking attractive, having stamina, having an upbeat personality, all offer often as good or better deals and/or less downsides.

Smart is like a spice, it's great to add to something good to make it better. But it can't be the main thing.
Yeah, I did not like shingles.

This isn't really a new thing - the military can and will use open source code to more effectively kill people. That happens with every new technology. Drone tech is going to be the biggest killer this century assuming that we don't have a war where ICBMs get deployed.

Zyklon B was a pesticide, and all that.

Well I was hoping to read an article about why or how the NAND gate is so important but the most I've been able to gather from this article is that the author doesn't know either and is unable to interpret any of the relevant literature.
You must not be familiar with the intricacies of UK property ownership. Most desirable properties in London are owned by a small group of aristocratic people who really do just hold property, and things which give them political influence like newspapers. Corporate ownership of buildings is not as prevalent as, say, in New York (except in the family business sort of way).

Part of this is tradition, but also the quirks of UK property law which makes it very hard to trance ownership of property, and so these people who value their privacy prefer property over other more liquid investments they’d have to disclose.
Live in New England. The homes are old there so you can sit down and relax without hearing someone breathing two rooms away. You get a home with 10x objectively higher quality for 10x cheaper. Plus the autumn is beautiful. If you must live somewhere like California then consider Bose earbuds.
If getting an email address is too big a barrier for you... you might not be the target market.
I generally call any IoT tool that depends on a third-party-service dumb, as nothing you have is smart, the smarts are at the vendor.
Our new home build quality is definitely worse, but on period houses.... what would you expect?

1800s building materials aren't as stable as modern ones and things tend to shift over time, and indeed many old buildings are poorly built - especially by modern standards. Even the foundations don't run very deep, and London has a clay rich soil, meaning that some minor foundation movement is not uncommon in older houses. Damp is usually more of an issue, so anything wood can potentially swell a bit during a wet period, leading to things becoming slightly out of alignment over time.

Often the only way to fix stuff like that would be extensive renovations which isn't really worth it for very minor visible problems. You can tighten stuff up, rehang etc. but it will usually slowly move again over time.

Also a £2 million house in London can be just for a shell in need of renovation in some areas - you're just paying for the land and location.
There is app integration with Siri, via tasks and intents. There's also Siri Shortcuts, which can integrate with custom intents.

> The NAND gate is significant because we can implement any Boolean function using a combination of NAND gate.

I would add that the NOR gate is also functionally complete.
I got my parents a Homepod and they kind of hate Siri but also ruefully love it like one has to chuckle at the dog that ate your shoes.

They're huge classical music nerds, and I've watched them, in vain, recite to Siri over and over and over the desired concerto, orchestra, etc – trying to find the right incantation to get their Homepod to play the music they want. Usually they just get fed up and play it with their phone.

My dad likewise chuckles when Siri inevitably gets his spoken grocery list wrong. One of his favorite games is getting people in earshot to work with him to figure out the correct pronunciation of words for Siri to understand what they're saying.

I think how people accept Siri as a tool is by finding the few things that she does perfectly and never doing anything but those few things. Ever.

Anyway, here's a scattershot of some stuff I just tried that Siri fell on her face over (on iOS 15):

* "Send a text to Katrina, Mom, and Dad that 'I don't need their help'" > Creates text to Katrina: "Mom and dad that I don't need her help"

* "Show me photos I took last month" > Simply opens Photos

* "Show me photos I took in Scotland" > Simply opens Photos

* "What are the hours of the closest grocery store?" > shows assorted list of nearby stores, no hours shown

* "What is 13 modulo 5?" > 13% = 0.13 [clearly the Calculator app doesn't support modulo operations but still: at least say that?]

* "Which novels won the Hugo last year" > No response, link to Wikipedia for Hugo Awards and an article on "Novels that won both the hugo and nebula awards"

* "What time is low tide today?" > no response, link to various tide times websites

* "When is the next Jon Stewart episode coming out?" [an Apple TV property] > no response, shows list of websites talking about Jon Stewart

A lot of false dichotomy in this article. Somehow brick is better than lumber in all cases? (No mention of the expense and cost, and environmental impact of making and shipping bricks).

Population density is also a big factor in establishing the stringency of building codes. Codes set market standards.

Ability to remodel a home is also a key piece of it's ability to maintain value, this is much more difficult with brick interior walls.
Sounds like your immune system didn't handle that well, but again, imagine how much worse it would handle covid.
> That said, I'm utterly alarmed by calls such as this to "regulate" Facebook. We really want to legitimize fcking Facebook like that by nationalizing / turning it into a utility?*

The govt is attempting to regulate Facebook by breaking it up, not by centralizing it. Facebook is guaranteed to maintain its market share if it can continue to buy and operate competitors.
Having a lot of these kind of symptoms when in a highly stressful environment is normal. It’s having them even when resting or doing only moderate activity that isn’t. Imagine if you didn’t have kids, got plenty of rest, etc and still felt like you do now. Then imagine what the prospect of looking after your kids would feel like if you already felt this tired when rested.
Drank too much water. Had to get up thrice to pee.
In the US, at least, this is definitely the case.

We like to throw anyone over 40 into the skip (especially in the tech industry).

It has caused some issues.

Some typos there, might want to fix

If by that you mean a kitchen where there is no door between it and the living room then I really dislike that! I live in a 1950s wooden house in Norway with a separate kitchen and like it that way.
> This looks like lack of product-market fit, very common with a lot of communist products.

IOW, communist products were not planned for forced obsolescense?
I don't mind the profile stalking, but if you stalked me more you'd have seen that I'm a former weapons engineer for the Dutch navy, so making things with potential military applications does not bother me as much as you might think. (Ironically, that arduino CoPilot library is based on software specifically designed for drone applications, so does that count as military software redirected towards civilian applications?)

In any case, this discussion is pretty similar to the "AWS is running my FOSS database as a service without paying me" debate. If you don't want your software to be used for certain applications, don't release it under a license stating that you can do anything with it. If you think the good that you do for the world by releasing some good new tech is greater than the harm done to the world, spread it as widely as you can. Ardupilot is in this category IMO: even if some militias try to make their own combat drones with it, the overall good done by making drone technology available to all could well be greater. The idea that you can make something "perfect" (that is with no imaginable harmful applications whatsoever) is probably not viable in this imperfect world filled with less than perfect people. Even very harmless things like teddy bears can be used to enable violent acts, but that does not mean we should stop making them.
