I see the fundamental issue here. You are looking at from a perspective of what the government should be doing for you, where I do not believe the government should do anything for me.

I look at from what the government is or can do to me, what freedoms they take from me, you mention vaccine mandates and call it a "small issue". However from my perspective it is a HUGE issue, mandates to me are a complete intrusion into my body autonomy, if I loose that I cease being a free individual.

I look at things like the War on Drugs, War on Gun Rights, War on Terror, and 1000's laws that attempt end runs around the constitution and individual rights as an extreme expansion of government power

Where you look at crumbling bridges, a service I do not believe should be in the purview of the federal government at all in the first place, as seen a weakened government.

Roads at best should be a Local and State government issue not Federal Government. The fact that the federal government as taken over that function is an example of Expansion of government power.
According to one conspiracy theory, it contains nano-particles which assemble themselves into some kind of alien structure.

According to another conspiracy theory, it contains graphene nanoparticles which self-assemble themselves into a spider-looking nanobot.

LOL.
> Please note that it's going to be tough sledding trying to convince JS users not to try to improve their language so that some other clearly superior language can come along and take its market/mindshare.

My point is that there's no "clearly superior language" compare to JS. Some people want a ML flavor, some people want a C# flavor, some people want a Lisp flavor. I wish people would just use those language and improve the interops instead of putting everything into JS.
The experiments of Franklin are an important milestone, but they should have not been the first.

The first milestone should have been the invention of the electrostatic generator (first in 1663 by Otto von Guericke, then several improved types during the next century).

The availability of the electrostatic generators was the event that started the rapid evolution of the science and technology of electricity and magnetism.

Until the electrostatic generators, during 2 millennia, the knowledge about electricity and magnetism consisted just in being aware of the same 5 phenomena that were well known to the Ancient Greeks, i.e. the attractive properties of magnetite, amber and tourmaline (which is pyroelectric), and the stunning effects of electric fishes (2 were known in antiquity: torpedo and electric catfish) and of the lightnings.

After the appearance of the electrostatic generators, doing electric experiments became a fashionable activity for many educated people and there was an avalanche of discoveries that advanced very quickly the science of electricity.

After the invention of the electrostatic generators the most important milestone was one present in the IEEE list, the invention of the electric battery by Volta.

The experiments with electrostatic generators were limited by the impossibility of providing continuous electrical currents.

That became possible with the Volta battery, which started the second avalanche of discoveries, including such important things like the connections between electricity and magnetism.

While the experiments of Franklin were indeed a milestone, especially because of his definitions of the positive and negative electricities, without electrostatic generators he would have never done any experiments.
VS community is also free :)
Looking at activity monitor, I'm currently using ~19GB, doing nothing special (IntelliJ, 15 chrome tabs, Spotify, Slack). Docker Desktop was using 8GB before I killed it. And this is on an Intel Mac so it doesn't include GPU memory usage I believe, which is shared in M1 Macs.

This likely isn't a perfect metric, if I were closer to the limit I think MacOS would get more aggressive about compression and offloading stuff to disk but still.
The point of AR is to layer one's reality with additional information, while the point of VR is to escape reality entirely. I think the latter is more compelling for most people, and the products for VR are here now.
Part of the Visual Studio Code brand is that it's open source. With this snarky announcement, they've changed that. I've been using https://vscodium.com/ and who knows when there will be a web version. :(
M1 Max TDP will be around 30-40 watt for the CPU cluster and 50-60 watt for the GPU cluster. Note that unlike x86 CPUs (which can draw far more than their TDP for brief periods of time), this is maximal power usage of the chip.

M1 needs about 5W to reach those signs-core scores, Tiger Lake needs 20W

w3schools has its place but it’s usually the top result when I’m never looking for it.

Once it was useful. But now I memorized all the information there so it’s not interesting.
Weird that there hasn’t been a “milestone” in 15 years. What do you think that means?
What are some examples of high-quality code?

I find Maxime Chevalier-Boisvert's Turing Drawings to a be a great example:

Could search engines be fostering some Dunning-Kruger?
Ok sure, they should do that then. If they don't, then Moderna needs to step up and release the process anyway, and then write some angry editorials about how they deserved more money if they feel that way.
Tracking the White House YouTube channel
You aren't alone. It was completely saccharine and the only reason I got through it was it was an audiobook and I had a long commute at the time.

In retrospect rereading/listening to something like Cryptonomicon or Hyperion Cantos for the umpteenth time would have been much more enjoyable.
The problem with your statement is that it doesn't account for magical thinking.

Rational thinking: my pitch wasn't great, but I at least connected with the personal problem side of my message. My idea needs work, or my use-case needs attention.

Magical thinking: If I had made that outburst early enough to change the tone, I could have made a better impact with my message. If my pitch starts to go south, just have a breakdown to shift the focus from that to my personal story.
Is it worth optimizing for future output when the life-saving metric during a global pandemic is time-to-first-dose? There are only a few factories in the world that can make something as complex as an mRNA vaccine. There is literally a shortage in glass beakers and shipping lanes are backlogged. These supply chains are very fragile and helping stabilize those would do more for vaccine supply than what's being proposed here.
You're not going to find scientfic positions advertised on LinkedIn, and I don't know what other blind spots that selection makes. I would concede if you compared StackOverflow questions. That would also reflect the definition of "alive" from the article better ("actual usage").
Nots not about "true this" or "true that". Incentives are real. Hospitals have real costs. Doctors want real wages. Electricity costs money. Machines cost money. Land costs money. To cover these costs, you must have income. Manipulate how income can be received, or manipulate how costs must be bared. But these don't change the fact that healthcare has costs.

You can argue that one particular system has better trade-offs than another. But that is based on your incentives. We, as consumers, want the best healthcare for free right now. Consumers and providers must meet in the middle somewhere. However, if government eliminates meeting places on the map, you can expect non-optimal locations.
Years and years ago I remember seeing a program that was broadcast on some dry, educational TV channel that was showing someone undergoing transitional surgery, and you could just imagine the censors sweating profusely as they decided the arbitrary point at which the nipple blur kicked in.
In fish, you put the functions inside function blocks. There's nothing at all magical about that. However, if you write "function foo" inside a file named "foo.fish", then type the command "foo" at the shell prompt, then fish will look for a file named "foo.fish" and then execute the function "foo" defined inside it. That's its autoload mechanism.

That's the only remotely magical thing added here: by convention, an autoload function named "foo" is defined in ~/.config/fish/functions/foo.fish.

Yeah, Microsoft supporting Google via Chrome feels a lot like big Oil supporting frakking technology.
This isn't really about the COVID-19 vaccine. Moderna and company want to keep their secret sauce secret, because the mRNA technology is incredibly valuable for future vaccines.

In fact, FTA:

> Friede says it makes sense to set up more manufacturers of mRNA vaccines in particular because the technology appears so effective against COVID — and because it shows promise against other diseases including malaria and tuberculosis.

A primary goal of this is production of future vaccines using mRNA technology. There's a reason we're talking about Moderna and Pfizer, not J&J and Sinovac.
I don't think that was a good sample, most of the XPS 15's I see have a much higher single thread score, almost double the one linked above:

Microsoft has long been one of the biggest application vendors on the Mac, there were previous eras where most of the screenshots of Office would have been taken on a Mac too. Though yes, never would have happened in the "Windows is our sports team, hoo rah" parts of the Ballmer era.
If you don't want to do business with people who are weird and erratic, you're probably not going to be great at seed investing.
The armchair quarterbacking in this thread is ridiculous. This was a great, and really human, take on pitching that 99.99% of founders miss. Pitching VCs (or YC) is only ostensibly about raising financing. Pitching is about refining your idea, identifying problem / solution pairs and subsets (or supersets!) of your primary pitch you haven't considered, building relationships and a whole lot more.

That fact that Michael Seibel is responding to folks in this thread who are doing the quarterbacking speaks volumes to the success of this founder's pitch in spite of not receiving an invitation to YC this go-around. First, a rejection today is not a rejection tomorrow. Second, Michael is a busy guy. The fact he's taking the time to speak up for a founder he feels a connection with is perhaps worth more long-term than a single YC acceptance letter. There are YC-backed founders that never get that level of attention.
I don’t disagree on the importance of communication.

But I have to say, your message seems quite biased towards the VC. Surely not all VCs are created equal. Just as not all founders are equally capable in communicating ideas, I’m sure not all VCs are equally capable in understanding ideas.
I would be interested hear why they didn't create mass die offs from smallpox, etc like the later explorers. Or maybe there is evidence of a population reduction around that time and I just didn't know about it.
I didn't play around with it much. It might have the issues you're facing.
Intel teases 'software-defined silicon'
Anecdotally, I live in a neighborhood of Manhattan know for starting national and global fashion trends, and the trend has absolutely been towards far more skin for all genders and body types. In fact, heavier people showing more skin has been one of the most obvious trends. That and the shrinking number of women who wear bras.

I see you got nothing to say so you attack random non points.

Claiming intellectual superiority right after being called out that you make statements on subject you did not bother looking into is actually dumb.

As a matter of fact I did not used actual ad populum rather i pointed out the reason why people downvoted you, I made an argument WHY you were incorrect and not told you that you are wrong because you are downvoted.

Then why are they so butthurt on social media?
Never understood why people use usertesting.com vs. mechanical turk for the same thing?

With Turk you can pay turkers way less.. get lots more results & run many successful user tests. You just have the turkers download and install a screen record browser extension, go through list of questions/tasks while their recording and submit their screen records to get paid.

Many folks are comparing it to previous Macs with macOS, not PCs nor other distros.

If you have an Intel Mac next to it, there's a clear noticeable difference assuming macOS is on it.

If you put W10 on the Intel Mac, it is much faster than macOS on it (from my own experience). If we could run W10 or Linux on M1, it will be much faster than Intel Mac.

Another example, Windows 10/11 on ARM in Parallels on my MBA m1 is much faster than Surface Pro X, a MS-tuned/customized device.

If you want action, drop into an area dense with players (city areas are good, as they have lots of loot). Then, you're either very good and somewhat lucky, or you'll die straight off.

Engaging with others early is recommended for top-tier Fortnite players for building your combat skills.
The big deal about the Journey arcade game at the time was that it had some of arcade video gaming’s first “photorealistic” pictures of the band’s heads for the game characters… which I’d estimate were probably like 32x32 3 or 4 grayscale colored sprites minus the rest of the characters’s body.
But…why?
Indeed, it seems like the mRNA vaccines got tons of traction because of a combination of high efficacy and first-mover advantage, but protein subunit vaccines like Novavax's (which unfortunately has taken forever to get to market) seem to be comparably efficacious, don't have the crazy cold-chain requirements, and depend on technologies that are much more broadly understood (adjuvanted protein subunit vaccines for other diseases are already available as generics manufactured in developing-world facilities). It seems like something like that would be a better reverse-engineering starting point.
No cost was give, but paying an idp anything > $0 would be difficult to stomach when Google, LinedkIn, Facebook and many others provide the same service for free.
Is that clear? The contrapositive of that is that Moderna invented nothing in its first nine or ten years — none of the research that led to this vaccine counts as a patentable invention.
For me, the landing page has a clear value proposition. The value proposition is the service will be low key.

Demanding it be high key is off key.

Low key works for Hacker News because it filters out people who want high key.

I know it’s not for me because I like Facebook and TikTok. Or more accurately, for me they are useful tools because of how I use them.

And the dog gets me off the screen and out in the world.
We have to see how much it matters in practice, since the M1 Max has roughly the same single threaded score as the M1.

I think this is a misleading headline. Recipe isn't a big thing here but the delivery mechanism of nano particles.

Products like Coke and WD40 are known for their secret recipes but recipes are out in the public. The difficulty is in knowing amount of ingredients, preparation method etc.
The Matrix, yes. Absolutely iconic even to this day. Hackers was known by no-one I knew. Sneakers was a much better movie and still relatable.
Not really surprising because viruses are more economically efficient than capitalists. Outspending natural disasters is a bad time. Nature has a blank check to wreck our stuff, sadly
Pentagon Official Resigns Saying US Cybersecurity Is No Match for China
Employees don't disappear when a company goes out of business. If Moderna has to shut down because they were too successful and their process becomes a global standard keeping billions safe, then its researchers will go work for other companies working on new stuff.
You click on them to open new tab pages if interested, can thumbs down and lower frequency in ads settings. You also get 70% of the sponsored images shown in 1 of 4 new tab pages. Static banner isn’t going to perform as well, so I hope you will give ads a try again. You could even turn off notifications but keep the sponsored images.
Hmm, I think the article shows - to say it another way - a desire for validation from the VC, to be taken seriously. Which is of course a natural thing to want. Instead the VC was casually shooting down their idea. So they wanted a different kind of attention, and acknowledgement that they were different and remarkable (the article is actually pretty clear on this point). They wanted to be remembered, and, well, perhaps they were.
Why aren't you asking McDonalds to liquidate themselves, buy Moderna, and give it to the WHO for free?

You're picking on one entity here and asking them to give away everything. Moderna is a company that originally intended (and is following through on) developing cancer vaccines.

If Moderna's money goes to competitors and they lose cash flow, their ambitions here become harder if not impossible.

Also ask yourself why the WHO hasn't developed a vaccine for Covid and cancer by itself. It certainly has the funding to do so.

Ask yourself why European countries aren't dishing out money to buy Moderna and open up the patents.

I don't mean to criticize you, merely to get you to think about the interlocking and competing world-scale problem gradients. Nothing is ideal. There's always a bigger picture, and you have to think pragmatically.
Litecoin Mining Guide
Modena is using a lot of novel techniques that they have been pioneering for decades.

When a new technique is invented in molecular biology, it often takes quite a while for the expertise to percolate through the entire field. Often times, despite full protocols being published for the technique, a lab will adopt the new technique only when a person with prior experience joins the lab, and teaches everyone one hands on.

Thats just for small scale molbio that happens in small quantities on a bench top. Taking a technique through to large scale production, and doing it with high quality, and then also getting it to work under Good Manufacturing Process controls so that the thing you're making is suitable for injection into real living humans? That's an entirely different order of magnitude of difficulty.

Perhaps there's something that could have sped this up, but unless people are aware of the particular challenges that are being faced, it's hard to know what sort of intervention would have actually done this.

This is a bit like asking what's wrong with your ranch by describing the grass. The problem is there's no cows on it.

You might argue that sufficiently appealing grass might persuade cows on other ranches to jump the fence and come over, but the reality is that the grass on those other ranches is very nice at this point and getting greener faster than the grass on Perl Ranch.

>it's pretty comical to think that conservationists could ever come up with enough money to seriously outbid oil and gas companies in lucrative areas. The only reason this person was able to get this lease is that this area is uneconomic to produce from.

Not a hard disagree, but it certainly gets easier the less economic it is to produce/extract from the area. A good example would be coal, where plants in the US are already being closed. Expensive? Yes. But probably cheaper due to market dynamics and, for someone interested in conservation/preservation, has more bang for their buck, given the miserable nature of coal.
This is me as well - unabashedly a bash person. My reasons to not switch are not driven by the feature set offered by the various shells, but by the fact that I don't want to learn/think or be bothered with the nuances when I log in to various remote hosts, containers, and what have you. When I write shell scripts or installers, I want a single language that is reasonably likely to be present wherever it runs - and that today is bash.
