"it is believed he didn't react quickly enough) and helped make it shocking that it happened at all."

Smith was born in 1850. Back then 52,000 tonne displacement ships were pretty rare (rocking horse shit rare).

I contend that the likes of Titanic were too complicated and too big and unsafe by design. Nowadays we have far bigger ships. I've sailed on a monster cruise ship into NOLA from the Gulf of Mexico - we overtook a tanker on the way upstream and the manoeuver took about 30 minutes. The really mad thing was that we all had to park up for several hours in a herringbone formation before entering port.

Huge stockpiles of coal means that you have loads of dust which is easy to ignite. We know she set sail with at least one fire on board.

The Captain (Smith) didn't stand a chance, in retrospect and in my opinion. There was way too much going on.
> It wasn't acceptable in 1961 for lunch counters to "not be involved" in desegregation, because "not being involved" is tantamount to support for segregation in a segregated society.

There's actually no point in time where the opinions of the actual proprietors of lunch counters mattered either way. The Jim Crow laws legally mandated segregation until the Civil Rights Act legally prohibited it. The lack of personal choice in the matter is more or less exactly what makes it political in the first place.
I think the biggest reason not to allow encrypted data is the second point you mentioned. The bands will begin being used for purposes other than what the rules of ham radio allow.

There are some individuals apart of groups who would definitely use encryption on the ham bands as a means to have communications taking place that are not allowed by the rules. The biggest one would be communications with a connection to politics. Met plenty of these types who are jealous of the ham band and scorn the rules because of that, so they keep themselves on CB and FMRS.

Also like you mentioned, it is now free radio space for commercial entities to try to use.
Would somebody (if reading this) want to be generous and help me out? I'm not a programmer. I'd wish to use xterm.js in either a md or the mdx file (looking to incorporate a terminal in docusaurus site). My google-fu fails me for this.
_The Body Keeps The Score_ is a good intro to what trauma is and isn’t, its history, and how it differs to PTSD.

Interestingly, it also covers the absurd lengths the militaries of various countries went to to suppress the idea of trauma arising from the world wars (e.g. ‘shell-shock’ could appear in no US army document for any reason, until the 70s I think).

Predicting the future is hard. You were both right. You only have the outcome to judge the decision, not the full probability distribution.
If they are rude then you can bring it up with your manager about them being rude. Companies usually doesn't accept rude behaviour or bullying. If they are fine with rude behaviour and bullying then you will have problems regardless of the political stance of the company.
I think my assumptions are different than you. I’ve met people, co workers, who have told me that a trans person asking to be described as a new name is political, and forcing the co worker to call them by a new name is forcing politics in the workplace. This is my understanding of what an apolitical workplace means. Am I wrong? I’ve generally avoided workplaces that claim to be apolitical explicitly because the people I know who claim to be apolitical actually claim that they’d never respect a trans persons new name, because that’s bringing politics into the workplace.
Just for the record I've been utilizing LSD and other psychedelics with no ill effects and many positive effects for the past 30 years with no involvement of cryptocurrencies whatsoever.

As far as the rest of it, obviously the blockchain fails quickly for day-to-day currency uses, and that's blatantly obvious. So it's a store of wealth, maybe a tax dodge, but hardly all that 'revolutionary'.
The big win from this is that you should be able to determine if signed in user (wallet) owns a particular NFT. This would allow for things like transferable software licenses, titles, and deeds.
Before claiming other people don't know what they're talking about, it would be polite sufficiently understand it and refrain from making false claims yourself.

> When a vaccinated cell dies, the debris will contain many spike proteins and protein fragments, which can then be taken up by a type of immune cell called an antigen-presenting cell. [1]

Is it true that host cells need to die for the vaccine to take effect?

I'm not entirely sure and couldn't find good sources to verify or disprove OPs claim, but I recall some claims that the vaccine kills cells.

> it will lead to the cells death because it produces the foreign protein as instructed until it is killed by your immune system.

Different sites have different descriptions, but even [2] mentions:

> The priming of CD8 T cells can induce the formation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (5b) which are capable of directly killing infected cells.

Which likely means killing cells presenting the vaccine spikes? Most sites mention some form of cytotoxic action or reponse, which I do not understand, but I take it to mean that some cells are killed.

A leaky vaccine means that many vaccinated are spreading it.

Evidence:

"New data was released by the CDC showing that vaccinated people infected with the delta variant can carry detectable viral loads similar to those of people who are unvaccinated, though in the vaccinated, these levels rapidly diminish. There is also some question about how cultivatable—or viable—this virus retrieved from vaccinated people actually is. " [1]

"Breakthrough Delta variant infections are associated with high viral loads, prolonged PCR positivity, and low levels of vaccine-induced neutralizing antibodies, explaining the transmission between the vaccinated people. Physical distancing measures remain critical to reduce SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant transmission." [2]

Could you provide details on this? My impression had been that for magnet high schools the only admissions evaluation was made on the basis of test scores, but you make it sound like admissions are more subjective, with an "assessor".
Thank you for sharing that. It's nice to see examples of what we can do when we focus on what unites us, vs what divides us.

Rag chewing about Donald Trump should be a violation of FCC rules since political discussions are not allowed.
I hear about this a lot and am pretty sure it is true in many places but it's not that way everywhere. Just last night the mostly old folks on the local net were excited that someone was joining through some sort of gateway for digital modes. But I certainly know the gatekeeper types you're referring too and they exist in many hobbies that grew into popularity during earlier eras. I've heard in some places the younger crowd has formed their own clubs that focus more on digital modes, which is one way around the gatekeepers, but still sad because the hobby is at its heart about sharing experience, which they have decades of.
Alrighty, let's take a look starting with the Docker image. Image is a little hefty at 200+MB. A quick look at the Dockerfile doesn't immediately reveal why.

Also, your documentation on how to pull the Docker image is incorrect [1] and does not work. The following works though:

The Fifth was heavily revised, and yes, you have to be in the right mood (west coast fog, for example), to get the first bits.

Note that comparing Walmart vs the government is especially funny since most of Warlmart's expansion comes from the fact that it under-pays it's workers so much that the federal government has to support them since they aren't able to afford housing and food.
It's also really funny that he brings up Fanny Mae as an argument against government efficiency since they are a private company that screwed up so badly they basically destroyed the economy.
It's also really funny that he brings up healthcare since Medicare and Medicaid both run several times more efficiently than privately run healthcare.
Somehow, this made me think of Amtrak when they used a jazz song from the Pat Metheny Group as their radio jingle. That advertisement felt surprising to me at the time, and stimulated oddly nostalgic day dreams about sophisticated train trips that I never actually experienced...
That's not how cultural overachievers work though. Group overachievers together and they form a stronger culture of achievement. Split them up and they stop achieving.
> Choosing to go with a trans persons new name and pronouns when they are early or mid transition is a political choice

No, it is just a kind gesture. It is like people not telling an overweight person they are fat, it is the normal thing to do. And if you go around calling people fat then in any healthy workplace they will call you in for a talk and tell you to stop being so rude.

The problem here is that you make this about politics and not about just common decency. If it is about politics then it makes sense for conservatives to reject your wish, you wont change them from being conservatives. But if you make it about common decency instead then they almost surely comply since most people are nice. Maybe not the first time you ask but after a few times almost everyone will, because they will see themselves as assholes if they don't.

> Monoclonal antibody treatment is only usable within a specific window when a person is already ill.

This is not correct. See my other comment in the thread.
The notion of "final" is very much an emotional, kind of mindset, one. In any kind of research there's this impending mental final frontier, which is often tied to some concluded stage. It's similar somewhat to a "release", but as such there's no real product notion.

Also, the "final" is usually what one may submit for a review, then the remarks may just be relating to _that_ "final", quite logically creating another train-car in the filename.

I also encouraged colleagues to date-version in such cases, but this eventually leads to multiple date-stamped train.

A curious thing is that rarely the researchers get back to those older versions, they just keep them and as easily forget about why they kept them, once the reasearch is pushed out.

So my solition back then was letting them do their thing as they see fit within the project area till the conclusion, then round out all the related artifacts and stuff them into a repo. Any revisions then get added to that repo, as well as any remarks about what/when was submitted to where/whom. Loosely structured and messy, but hopefully internally relevant and consistent.

The main goal - preserve first, then rearrange, if needed.
The issue is that you don't have an alternative option. If you're concerned with the possibility of a modified Face ID module, by all means go to Apple for those repairs. They do a great job with good customer service, and in many cases you can maintain your warranty.

However, many people would prefer to have another company repair a device that they own. I personally am okay with the risk associated with a 3rd party repair, because the prices are often significantly better. Hell, back in the iPhone 4 days I was able to replace my own screen with little to no difficulty.

There's a difference between "I don't want to have my phone repaired by a third party" and "I don't want anyone to be able to have their phone repaired by a third party." I respect the first statement, which seems to be where you're coming from. I'm not a big fan of the second one.
> I would find it weird if a person was really proud of how they didn’t give condolences or congratulations

I am proud I have never written RIP Celebrity on twitter when a celebrity died or sent my congratulations to a Kardashian on the occasion of the brith of their child. When I have offered condolences or congratulations it has been exclusively in person or in a non public broadcast message.

I guess that makes me weird, but personally I find posting that sort of shit on social media decidedly odd.

From random article [1]

> Antigen-presenting cells (APC) are cells that can process a protein antigen, break it into peptides, and present it in conjunction with class II MHC molecules on the cell surface where it may interact with appropriate T cell receptors.

APCs do not hoover up random mRNA to translate. They hoover up remnants after a carnage.

The vaccine is jabbed into the muscle, the spikes are (likely) expresses from the muscle cells, most definitely not only APC cells. Even if they were, it is not normal for APCs to be producing the proteins.

What's the point of reading your Facebook feed if you don't want to follow anything? Just don't read your feed. I kind of like the fact that my feed is so terrible, it makes me want to leave quickly and not come back.

Facebook is good to get in touch with friends, it is excellent to organize events, mostly because of its popularity. But when it comes to the feed, for some reason, for me, it has a signal to noise ratio close to zero. Even content coming from real friends I hold in high regard is terrible, as if Facebook makes the worst out of people. The best I can hope for are moderately funny jokes and memes, beside that, nothing is salvageable.

As an anecdote, I grew up in Georgia (the state, not the country.) My high school had a <40% graduation rate (seriously), and while some of the AP classes were amazing (because of amazing teachers, one of whom volunteered to teach the class for free), others were embarrassing. In 10th grade biology, the teacher explained that cells were organisms, and asked who in the class knew what an "organization" was. Few hands were raised.

Meanwhile in Atlanta, there were bunches of magnet schools filled with bright, special kids. My envy was intense. We didn't even have a fucking physics class.

The problem was that our school was poor, because the neighborhood was poor (three housing projects), and schools are paid with property taxes. The projects were built in the Black neighborhoods, since that's how the city was laid out during segregation. There was no school breakfast and a lot of kids didn't get dinner, so school lunch was their only meal and they bombed morning classes as a result.

Magnet schools are built where there's money, so kids in the ghettos never get access. That's not meritocracy.
The difference is what you describe, every kid takes the tests now because they are standardized.
Then your problem isn't with apolitical workplaces, but with conservative workplaces.

Also, a few people saying that trans stuff is political doesn't mean that those views are the general consensus or that apolitical workplaces works with that. I haven't seen that and almost everywhere I've been doesn't really do politics at work. Trans people are just people etc, nobody cares.

Ask HN: Educators, do you use knowledge checks?
Hi, recently I've been trying to self-study Computer Science.
The networking textbook (Computer Networking: a Top Down Approach) I'm using has a free online resource called knowledge checks (http://gaia.cs.umass.edu/kurose_ross/knowledgechecks/index.php) and I'm loving it <3. I find it better than normal assignments due to it's immediate feedback

I'm wondering if other educators make these kind of resources as well?
they are obviously talking about the one the article is also about. The other one is btw part of a country that joined the discussed agreement already at an earlier time.
CAP is an amazing program. I was in it for awhile. Unfortunately, it is only a major thing in the home school community. My squadron had 30 other kids and myself and one other were the only public school kids. The rest were home school by really religious parents. Nothing directly wrong with that, but it makes it difficult to advertise to a wider group of kids. As I know where I grew up, it was known amongst the home schooling community but not amongst the public school kids. I just happened to stumble across it. Which sucks because it is a really good program that can expose kids to tons of interests with Cyber patriot, the summer academies for things like flying, and all the other programs.
There's no way it's a genuine comment from somebody that has given the topic enough of a passing thought to actually comment on it.

The sheer number of things everybody interacts with everyday that are very directly related to tax-funded government actions is immense, and very blatantly so.

Yet they lead with "what have taxes ever done for anybody?" It's not a genuine or honest comment.

I really like using Pushover[0] for this stuff. The app on iOS is really great, including ability to include images and custom icons in the (native) push notifications, custom sounds, punching through silent mode for emergency alerts and even custom actions I believe (haven’t used the latter).

I’ve toyed with doing something with Signal but the Pushover route has always felt a bit better suited for my use case.

The custom icons are particularly handy as I get push notifications from all sorts of systems (from home automation to GitHub Actions) and it’s really easy to see at a glance where the notification is coming from.

Good luck with your project!

This is a real problem, and the FCC will deny any anonymization requests (I know, I’ve tried). The fact you can easily get so much information about someone so easily from ULS makes me extremely wary about sharing my callsign anywhere like the internet. I can only imagine how much this must suck for vulnerable populations.

This is definitely somewhere that the FCC could stand to modernize. Clearly the FCC needs your contact information - but is it necessary to share your current address _and_ all address history with the world to anybody that asks for it?

Not holding my breath for any progress to be made here, though.
