You can do that with second life / opensim, but there is no VR viewer and the FPS is low because models are not optimized.

That said, you realize that opensim is very complex. it involves assets, streaming, simulating physics (the physics happen on the server) with multiple physics engines, managing users and groups, networking, scripting engines (it has 2 now), and is constantly trying to reverse engineer the second life protocol in order to work with he viewer which is not fully open source. It's not appealing to developers because it's a lot of work.

When it started the project received backing from IBM who developed a large part of it. Nowadays there's no corporate interest probably because it's considered unmonetizeable.
bitbucket changed to git
If HG truly shines I don’t know why people would choose Git over it. Even if Github was famous, its not like iOS came first so Android never picked up?

Subramanian and Kumar discover that COVID cases are not correlated with vaccination rate. But everyone knows that the vaccine doesn't stop you from getting infected; rather, it reduces hospitalization and case severity.

The problem with this paper is not the result, but the authors' tone punching through, which expresses surprise at this result. This paper should have been rejected for revision on that basis.

I'm starting to feel that the question of meaning in "being real" vs. "being virtual" is mostly about permanence and effort to modify. Like, imagine if Eve Online got frozen in its current incarnation, became magically impervious to any hacking, and its servers physically shipped out to a magically impenetrable vault. Everything that happens in game now becomes permanent[0], there's no longer the underlying threat of the company rebooting or shutting down the game. That becomes much more real in my eyes.

Of course, the ultimate determinant is, the real world is the one you can die in. But if we factor out death, the only thing that remains special about our reality is that no human controls it, it cannot be arbitrarily changed without putting extreme effort in terms of energy and coordination.

I often come back to the Relevant Search book, by Doug Turnbull and John Berryman. I'm sure some of the examples are a little dated now, but most of the advice and approach is still sound and it's a great tour through all the things you need to consider to build a great search experience.

My experience was that human scale communalism is highly taught in architecture schools, at the same time as idolization of celebrity architects.

It's quite the dichotomy.

The economic reality is also that most clients (who are paying) want one of two things: (1) the cheapest box that meets all their functional requirements or (2) a grand monument.

Ask HN: What dynamic explains the consistent saw tooth oscillation of Covid?
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

See the charts here. The oscillations are pretty consistent having a 'wavelength' of maybe 7 - 10 days. The amplitude of these smaller saw-teeth atop the 'spine' of the larger trend seems to be a function of height of the spine. What could explain consistent short-duration saw-teeth like this?
I'll do a Show HN in a month.

It's a constant thought at the back of my head: my 4yo and 1yo have barely seen strangers' faces or smiles (indoors) in the last two years, and I do wonder how that's going to affect them growing up.

And now, winter is coming (in the Northern hemisphere) — it's only going to get worse as there will be fewer people outside.
This is so wrong. You can clearly see the reduction in deaths in a graph when you compare UK pre-vaccination (<30% population) and post vaccination (>60% population). Idiots.
The assets are still under copyright. On paper you could "re-implement" assets as well, ie. remake all the models, textures, music, voices and rewrite all the quests.

Who checks hotels?

I've been in some flea bags, and didn't know until I showed up.

This is just in the USA though.

If they serve food, they are check usually once a year, and that's it, and it's only the kitchen.

Hotels/motels are not inspected for anything--sadily.

(I've always wondered what counties/towns do with that occupancy tax they collect. I don't like Airbnb though, and agree with you for the most.)

Creativity pollutes the communication, but a lack of creativity pollutes the purpose.
Set and setting are 100% drivers of the experience you'll have with psychedelics. You have to be in a good state of mind, and you have to be in a safe, stable environment. Psychedelics will amplify and loop experiences of your trip, so if you're in a negative headspace, that will feed back into itself. Confronting the inner darkness is a thing, and experienced users will have gone through at least one "bad trip" which they'll view as horrible at the time, but valuable because of the insight into the workings of tsensory.

There's been some recent trends among psychedelic communities in saying there's no such thing as a bad trip, only difficult ones. I tend to agree, but only in the context of responsible use.

Being depressed doesn't mean you can't prepare and manufacture a headspace and experience with psychedelics. It does mean you need an experienced guide who will be by your side through the experience. It must be someone who you trust and feel comfortable with, and who you've told the truth about your state of mind and intentions. Never try tripping alone in a negative headspace.

Much like skydiving with squirrel suits, you need a teacher and experience before you should attempt anything risky or complex. An experienced guide can also "show" interesting and beautiful and profound places in your mind and sensorium.

It's very important to draw on the experience of others, to have a sitter, and to educate yourself about psychedelics in general and the substances you are going to use in particular.

Mushrooms are a wonderful starting point, and Terence McKenna a great resource to learn about the experience of using them. They're nominally the safest and most forgiving psychedelic to start with with a huge array of people to learn from.

Ultimately psychedelics are tools that can give you access to internal perspectives. They operate on the fundamental workings of intelligence and consciousness, mirroring and modifying your neural signals into strange loops and unexpected activations, which can break your mind free from all sorts of negative patterns.

Above all else, learn as much as you can about safe use and harm reduction. A little effort and responsibility goes a long way towards guaranteeing the success of what can be the most profound and moving experiences you can have as a human.

Don't overthink it. The article was probably translated from Dutch, or done by a Dutch person, and there isn't direct equivalent for "listings" in Dutch.
> Biggest advice I can give is you probably don't need search if you're indexable by search bots.

I don't know how relevant it would be today, but ~2005 or so I had a site that used Google search for the internal "search" functionality. It was a webmaster feature of Google at the time, the google results would be displayed with my site's branding, colours, etc. Only results from my site were displayed, but there was a clear Google logo and link at the top. I think that ads were not shown, but I'm not 100% sure.

A/B testing showed significant (I don't remember the numbers) loss of visitors on that page. When presented with our own internal search, visitors would stay on the site the vast majority of the time. But when presented with the google search, visitors would often leave. I would say that the results that google returned were no less relevant than those our internal search provided, in most cases near identical except for ordering.
> The version control software market has evolved a lot since Bitbucket began in 2008. When we launched, centralized version control was the norm and we only supported Mercurial repos.

But Git adoption has grown over the years to become the default system, helping teams of all sizes work faster as they become more distributed.

As we surpass 10 million registered users on the platform, we're at a point in our growth where we are conducting a deeper evaluation of the market and how we can best support our users going forward.

After much consideration, we've decided to remove Mercurial support from Bitbucket Cloud and its API.
Yeah, who cares about those who make a living off tourism. They should learn to code.
How is zig compared to nim, where you can also disable safety(even disabling the gc)? To me nim seems more "ergonomic", but they both try to hit the same problem space.
This really depends on the game and your personal goals. Engines like Unity, Unreal or Godot must cover the entire game development landscape, but the 'engine feature slice' needed for one specific game may be so small that such generalist engines don't provide much help or are even actively harmful because they force you into building the game in a certain way. The most useful engine-part in such cases might be the tiny platform abstraction layer to work around driver- and OS-API bugs - but usually this platform abstraction layer can't be used alone, and alternatives like SDL also have accumulated lots of such fixes and workarounds over the decades.

I don't think it's the number of people by itself. It's when it's becomes an established business that people have to start optimizing for low cost, max profit and fighting to get to the top of listings. Then the general niceness and interestingness goes away.

Is that not always the case with these American marketplace apps? Now that the property owners have to follow the rules, they have the same burden as the real hotels, but none of the economy of scale.

Same with all the places where they make Uber drivers be actual taxi drivers in actual taxis. Then all of a sudden they are competing directly against some very large, established players who have the market pretty well figured out already.
You are right but we want to generate traffic first before we can state any numbers on views or change the pricing to impression-based (This is a launch - we are not an older Startup).

Nobody is privy to the full content of Newton's mind and his mental processes. One could also argue that his metaphysical preoccupations positively influenced his scientific accomplishments.

I don't have to meet him - deeds speak louder than manipulative words. He is what I said and worse. I've been closely following him since the early days of Facebook and I can conclude that it needs a great level of mental perversion to invent or allow all the things happening at Facebook to go on!
It is really true that everybody knows that?

Many people will still say vaccinated people get negative faster so, even if they were shedding as much virus as unvaccinated people, vaccinated people would still be less contagious.

This seems the basis for a lot of the mandates, if it stops being true then covid vaccination becomes a matter of personal health rather than public health.
That sound like really good excuses if multiple countries haven't also been destroyed by wars, had to pay billions in debt or any other things, and managed to reach a much more developed state. Yet the usual suspects can't reach the developed status, even with lots of foreign aid.

You don't even need to go that far. Compare Haiti to Dominican Republic.

But as someone once said "Demographics are Destiny".
Weekends.
It doesn't appear to account for age groups. Most countries have a much higher vaccination rate for older people which in general are also more likely to get sick.

It also direct contradicts data from Switzerland which clearly show a correlation between vaccination rates and infections when comparing different cantons that have higher rates compared to others.
Yes, but now it's even worse. It getting out of the gaming sphere into the mainstream.
As mentioned, people are engaging with our newsletter (nobody unsubscribed) but who knows! You might be right.
Not really - the authorities are driving vaccination in order to reduce propagation, indicating that the vaxx is supposed to materially reduce R0.

The authors are not making any claims about anything, other than demonstrating the rate of vaccination doesn't seem to affect the case rate.

The most obvious thing I see is that places with lower case rates and remote not dense populations tend to be less vaccinated in the first place. I have family in rural areas with almost zero case rates and as a result they're just less concerned and less vaxxed.

This is an important consideration for policy because it's generally not been about making sure workers have protected themselves (although that's one issue) it's really about preventing outbreaks.

Looking forward to further commentary.

> the CDC reported an increase from 0.01 to 9% and 0 to 15.1% (between January to May 2021) in the rates of hospitalizations and deaths, respectively, amongst the fully vaccinated [10].

Looking at the CDC slide I think they are referring to (their link is broken), 15.1% was the percentage of people in hospital who were fully vaccinated. It is fully noted on the slide: one would expect this to climb as vaccination level climbed and especially as high risk people were vaccinated first.

So they have provided no basis to care about the pandemic post vaccination.

Obviously every country wants to use its resources to the max and open as much of it's economy back up as soon as hospital occupancy and death are down so rates of infection should go up unless you reach something like 95% recent vaccination or booster.

>Bertelsmann, a left-leaning media conglomerate

Sorry, what? Bertelsmann is a lot of things, but left-leaning ain't it. They are true neo-con/neo-liberal free-market fetishists. They are only left-leaning in so far as they are extreme-right-rejecting, with their Bertelsmann Foundation acting as their vehicle for lobbying, e.g. deregulation of the television market (where Bertelsmann is a big player with RTL). They are a lot like Alex Springer in that regard, as both are very "free market" and rather conservative (unless there is money to be made) and against too much "socialism" and against nazis.

They are also a direct Alex Springer competitor outside of television (where Springer thus far only has a minor presence after they repeatedly failed to take over RTLs competitor Sat1Prosieben) as Bertelsmann owns Gruner+Jahr (magazines, tabloids and newspapers), Penguin Random House (largest book publisher in the world) and additionally companies like BMG (music publisher), and the Arvato you mentioned (who not only do "content moderation" but credit checks, logistics and all kinds of other services).

Alex Springer and Bild, and Julian Reichelt at it's helm, is powerful, but a lot less so than a lot of people would want you to believe, and a lot less than they used to be. But I'd agree that Bertelsmann is more powerful/influential in Europe and Germany than Springer now.
I recently switched from macOS to Pop OS, but I used Ubuntu as my Linux (in VMWare Fusion) for the previous 5 years.

Pop OS is essentially Ubuntu with a few enhancements. It is not a very different experience. I like the zero-effort, zero-config window tiling, and the 1-click disk encryption. But it's mainly like Ubuntu with a couple hours saved by delegating configuring some stuff and making a few choices to System76.

> I live in Sweden and most "condo" associations (bostadsrätt) have rules regarding short-term hires and subletting.

I don't know why you're using Sweden as a 'good' example of democratic control of Airbnb: the opposite is actually true, where the authorities are very well-disposed to people hiring-out their apartments, and see it as an opportunity to get more tourists visiting locations in Sweden[0] From the article in the citation:

"Politicians in Copenhagen want to introduce a maximum limit of 60 rental days per year via Airbnb - but Stockholm is choosing a different path and continues to welcome private rentals via the US giant. According to statistics from Airbnb, there are now over 3,600 listed homes actively offered as tourist accommodation in Stockholm."

In that article there are officials saying the same as you - that local restrictions put some sort of 'natural' limit on the number of Airbnb apartments - but the reality is that for people working here in Stockholm and trying to find an apartment to rent, the only option has now become Airbnb or the black-market in rented accommodation - effectively pricing normal people out of the market altogether.

As for these supposed restrictions on hiring-out apartments that are in the 'rulebook' of a house, it's perfectly easy to circumvent them. In my house in central Stockholm it's forbidden, but I often meet small groups of Italians, Spaniards or other obvious tourists coming and going in the communal areas of the house, and looking very sheepish at being seen - very obviously hiring an apartment illegally.
