Historical relevance means using terminology that is relevant to the people who are there. North and south China have meanings to people already that aren’t the ones suggested above. That everyone isnt changing to match a drive-by attempt at terminology to satisfy no need is self explanatory.

It does exist. Probably has the same symptoms as any other virus pneumonia.
And that, comrades, is yet another way to realize our economy's incentive system is misaligned with people's material needs.
It's a semi common issue for highly effective novel treatments.
In order to continue the study you need to keep some portion as a control group.

I can't imagine wanting to keep people in the control group when the experimental treatment is so dramatically effective.
That’s a low quality article. A chart about one part of the overall effect of a car, a random jab at Apple, some exaggeration (doom! Shadowy private hands!) then wrap things up with a “need more info.” Oh brother.
Does it matter? Vaccine flows like water these days, and at least in the rich world, nearly everyone who needs this chose to be in that position. Making that choice should be incredibly costly.

If an amateur can do damage to you, then I have some bad news for you...

I believe the point wasn't surprise that damage occurred at all, but frustration that damage can occur just out laziness/ignorance rather than malice.

Again, if you have actual evidence of this, I'll read it man, but otherwise I've got no time for your anarchocapitalist rants.
> Real science does have a price.

Part of that price is honesty on what's truly known, indicated, suggested, hypothesized, or unknown. What is "blathering" to you is intellectual integrity to others.
If something proves to be too effective, too early in a trail, it's no longer ethical to give placebos to the control group.
Some of it comes down to insufficient grounding in math education preparation. In Illinois at least, K5 teachers are required to take a class that's effectively high school algebra, but at least where I got my credential, the class was taught as if it were just a remedial math class (which, to be honest, it was for more than a few of these would-be K5 teachers), rather than making it clear that the math that they would be teaching would be preparatory for the later class. Similar situations occur with 6-12 mathematics education preparation.

This continues well into 200-level and even 300-level college mathematics. Gallian's Contemporary Abstract Algebra spends a lot of time exploring groups of the form a + b√n without explaining why.

In general, it seems like math education should step back and read John Dewey and stop teaching mathematics as inert knowledge.
If the cost is low enough and the side effects are mild enough it could work. People would take it before a test is positive so would end up taking it when they didn’t really need it.

It’s similar to the antivirals for flu where you need to take it early on so it becomes habit to test early and start early.

Home labs will help with this too. Where someone could take a test, get a prescription and pickup within a few hours.
You're not allowed to change a GPL license's terms and conditions and still call it GPL. But if you call it something else you can use some of their terms and add/remove whatever you want.
It is nice that Aria itself gets some attention, since Aria is quite unknown by many people despite its age. It isn't only blind or otherwise disabled people that would profit from controls and content being decently tagged and classified, even if that is the scope of it.

It is however quite extensive as you can see by the role definitions:

Internships for High Schoolers
Hello. My name is Vishnu, and I'm a 16 year old high schooler with an interest for software development and computer science.

I live in the Toronto area and I was just wondering where I can find opportunities for part-time software developer jobs or summer 2022 internship opportunities.

If anyone has any opportunities, please let me know. My resume is available at https://www.vishnus.me/VishnuSatishResume.pdf. My GitHub profile is https://github.com/vishnupsatish. Thank you. (I'm also a lurker on Hacker News ;)
Agreed. It was originally developed for desktop use cases and we did a straight port to mobile which surprisingly worked way better than I anticipated.

But we need to do another pass at it, the lack of move tool is really annoying indeed. I also want to add more gestures.

Procreate is so good and we should aim to be a similar experience.
Call it something with lots of L’s.

“Lower Lava Land” or something like that.

Try saying that PRC. You goons.
This might seem counterintuitive but it’s not really a new concept in ecology. For example it is well-understood how hippos contribute to biomass in African rivers despite being ravenous consumers. As with the whales hypothesis, it’s from their poop.

It’s not that crazy a concept that increasing consumers can increase biomass. We all learned about scavengers and decay—life that consumes life, but in doing so, frees nutrients for other life. By short-cutting between the end of a complex life, and the beginning of a simple life, such creatures contribute to the overall efficiency with which the ecosystem captures solar energy and applies it to arrange environmental chemicals into living things.

The difference between a predator and a scavenger is just timing. If anything, predators take an even shorter cut between the end of a life (they cause it) and the availability of nutrients via digestion.

And as a gut check, things must work this way in general because the earth started with simple producers (photosynthesis or something like it), and consumers came later. Yet the overall biomass increased over time since then, even as consumers increased.
maybe they should examine why they are burning out. maybe it’s because they are only interested in making a quick commission and don’t understand how to tell the company they are hiring for, to pay realistic compensation for the candidates they need to hire?
On top of that, they will most likely discredit the new drug, claim that it was only developed because there is no money in old drugs,... blablablah.
Generate map tiles, throw lots of queries at a local Overpass API, run custom large-scale analysis, develop a geocoding service, serve routing calculations... Many applications that public servers will let one query at sample scales, but for which serious use requires setting up one's own servers.

Was interested in the idea of Arch in a commercial environment.

Presumably this only works in a certain kind of place: one with motivated individuals and without the "oh my God people might do what they think is sensible" types from an overactive Compliance group.

Personally this would be a very satisfying kind of place to work because the single biggest challenge I face in my company is the endless fiddling that the desktop team do breaking things, as it's is often done wrongly or should be left well alone. I don't begrudge the people in the team as they're actually decent but they're stuck having to juggle various demands and roll out a steady stream of MS changes faster than they appear to have capacity for.
Bartender, Karabiner-Elements, MacUpdater, NightOwl, iStat Menus, Keyboard Maestro, Rectangle, Amphetamine are some of the most important "OS Enhancement" apps I use.

TripMode, Tripsy, 1Password, Raindrop.io, iTerm, Tower, IINA, Soulver, Spark, Carbon Copy Cloner, Find Any File, Flux, Pacifist, are some my most used "non-common" apps (excluding things like Firefox and VS Code).
Is this link being shared with employers? If yes, while not essential a better visual design would make it easier to read.
More or less yes. The initial narrative of the jab as panacea has since evolved. The talking point now focuses on reducing hospitalization and death. The bit about the jab stopping transmission has been dropped as the number of so called breakthrough cases increases. Press Secretary Jen Psaki comes to mind.
I think that crowd will hate on this new drug. It's from Big Pharma, very expensive, it's probably full of GMOs and brain-controlling chips from Bill Gates. They'll stick with their cheap, generic ivermectin.
for planes and cars, yeah. But they have the luxury of space, power, distance and weight. its a projector + angled lump of glass, job done.

HUDs on glasses however are an active field of development. as noted before, you can't just shove a transparent display in the way and expect it to be readable.

You need optics so that the text/detail is focus-able.

You need a light source that is ultra efficient, so its bright enough for day light

you need some sort of control mechanism for that light source so it can be formed into pixels.
Sure, but you've invalidated the argument with your own example - there was a personal link. In this case, it seems to have been a complete stranger given the"seller" was an imposter.
Stopping entirely, no. Reducing, yes.
From the NY Times:

"The U.S. government has been in negotiations with Pfizer for enough pills for 1.7 million courses of treatment, with an additional option for 3.3 million, according to a senior administration official. That is about the same quantity that the United States has ordered from Merck. The government expects to pay about $700 per treatment course for both drugs, the official said."

One one side: great job, pharma industry! We're gonna live forever!

On the other side: what are you folks not curing, with your magic powers, just because you know you won't be able to make a buck from it...?
Except this is studied and dosed appropriately vs. tacking a bunch of Ivermectin and shitting your intestines out based on a half-truth you read about from Facebook.
Sounds like same/similar rate as Ivermectin - if proper protocol followed.
i say this as a windows user for my workplace, but that's not being gatekeepers, it's upholding the ethos of the distribution. i've used arch quite a bit as a hobby linux and the reality is that i've learned more about linux via arch documentations and by being curious about how to resolve things instead of demanding an easy path. the knowledge gained produces the easy path.
'There is no relationship at all between the two drugs, said Dr. William A Petri, professor of infectious diseases at the University of Virginia.

“The only way they are alike is that they are both pills,” Petri said.

Dr. Kevin J. Downes, assistant professor of pediatrics at the Perelman School of Medicine of the University of Pennsylvania, agreed, “They are dramatically different molecules. The drugs are different in their structure and their molecular size.”

[...]

Ivermectin binds to glutamate-gated chloride channels and is used to treat parasite infections, said Joseph Glajch, a consultant in pharmaceutical and analytical chemistry.

“These two are so far apart,” he said. “If you look at how they interact with the body..., they don’t even go to the same pathways or receptors.”'

> what's wrong with paying for a good product?

She was detained and belatedly exonerated. That sucks. On the other hand, it has the lowest crime and incarceration rates among major developed countries. Surely it has to be doing something right? Something worth emulating even?
From a skills perspective, the vendor lock-in still bothers me on a personal level.

What's interesting about learning to push the right buttons on one company's black box, especially when I know it's likely powered by or equivalent to familiar F/OSS?
I love internet radio and YouTube recommendations. Just wish YT didn't autoplay by default.
It wasn't until they launched Vault that I saw where they were going commercially. Their other tools were excellent, but I wouldn't be surprised if Vault would be their #1 cash-cow, it's a massively useful tool in environments that require a support umbrella and love paying for expensive licensing.
I haven’t read anything about this study, but this is common for highly effective treatments.

Let’s say you have a randomized clinical trial with a control arm (placebo) and test arm (drug). If the vast majority of the test cases do significantly better (like 90% of the test cases), at some point it becomes unethical to continue. Why? Because you already have the evidence that the treatment works, so having the control arm becomes meaningless. You already know that the drug works, so there is no longer a point to collect more data AND you know that the control arm isn’t going to help half the patients. So, you stop the trial early so that you can get started with the approval process so that the drug can get to all patients faster.
they're basically suing the original company who developed monoclonal therapy for COVID and are trying to copy it. This is the first copy.
I thought so too, so I actually tried this. With a whiteboard app. And it didn’t exactly work, new users and engagement went down compared to having a “landing page” in front.

Only a relatively few people like you and me really want to dive in without having a story first. Turns out, to my surprise (!) that most people don’t want to dive into your app without reading about it or watching a video first.

Teachers, kids, business users, they all have different questions they want answered before they spend time trying to learn a new app, they want to know if there are reasons this can or can’t be the thing they use from now on. Learning a UI is a time investment, and people want to make sure it will be a good investment before using their time. They don’t want to be tricked into learning your UI for a week or two or more and then find out later it can’t group and copy-paste shapes, or that the price goes up, or that they can’t share they way they need, or that your app doesn’t have a on-premise installation.

Getting in quickly can have a low barrier to entry, I’m with you there, but my experience on the other side of this is that it’s not good to go directly to the app without an intro first, generally speaking.

Aside from this there’s also the fact that users who don’t intend to pay are on average way more demanding, way less patient, and way less understanding about communicating and learning the UI and dealing with bugs or misunderstandings. It was surprising for me to see from the other side how rude the free users are on average compared to the paying users.
No, I am talking about ‘scientists’ telling others that Covid-19 is magically limited to a 1.5m or 6 feet circle (depending in which country you live). Or that they have to be really careful outside, and that it’s more safe to not go for a walk and fatten up in front of the TV. Or that ‘covid 0’ is a valid policy and that if it doesn’t work it is the fault of this week’s scapegoat. And then censoring anyone who would dare to point out the lack of logic.
How much time and effort do you put in before you buy a new home? Similar amounts of money involved, so similar amounts of considerations before choosing. Doesn't matter that it is a company spending the money, if the company spends a lot of money on the new hire then it is reasonable to spend a lot of money vetting the hire.
Seems like some of the emergency nature of C19 development is altering previous ethical guidelines.

I feel like you are hinting at one solution already. Security features are worthless without education. WhatsApp should give a "step by step guide" on what to do when the safety number changes, and they should block users from continuing to use the app until they have verified that they have taken these steps.

This is by no means fool-proof, but it would at least work against the problem now where they are basically training users to ignore these dialogs.
If using Ubuntu is "living in the console" for you, then something is seriously wrong with how you use it.

I mean, you sure _can_ do it. But that's not what you are supposed to do.
Ah, much excite at home,

> a more comprehensive package manager like apt or dnf

I don't see how apt or dnf are any more comprehensive than pacman. What do you mean by that?

Before Arch, I used Fedora. It used yum as its package manager. That thing managed to corrupt its own databases at least twice during normal usage. Distribution major version upgrades always caused problems.

I never had problems like these after switching to Arch.

> I don’t mind compiling programs myself when needed

You only need to compile user packages. Official Arch Linux repositories host binary packages. You can download the PKGBUILD if you want.

> for most things I’m happy to not have to hand-hold my OS when it comes to updates.

99% of the time updates just work for me. Sometimes they introduce a few .pacnew files, I diff and merge them with my local files and that's it.

> Like… why?

Sometimes manual intervention is necessary. Usually it's not a big deal. The news tell you what to do and most importantly why you must do it.

The most complicated maintenance I ever experienced with Arch was when it switched /bin to /usr/bin.
You don't group up the victory point chips in piles that each add up to 10 like I do? Heretic!

I'm not saying murderous mob. I'm saying group of humans. They don't need to be a mindless ravenous horde. They don't need to kill him on the spot.

I'm saying this is probably the conclusion that rational humans would come to if an outsider arrived, killed people, and left. They should be killed, because, even ignoring themes of justice, he's a huge outlier threat. The entire pretext that killing him is morally outrageous is not a given at all. On some level if you're gonna play ball at the extreme ends of crime, then you should be willing to accept that you're gonna fucking die if society manages to stop you.

It doesn't strike me as morally problematic to say "if you rape and murder child then we'll kill you", and then kill someone who rapes and murders a child.

The problem, again, with both our justice system and mob justice that makes these not good is that they're easily manipulated, inaccurate, and emotionally swayed. And historically super racist if you care to bring that into the discussion.
> This is a completely novel molecule...

Then do we understand the risk profile of this thing? That sounds like the sort of innovation that people would want to be at the back of the queue for.

Side effects don't have to happen in the next 6 months.
Fwiw, Ken Wheeler suggested the name excalibur but when looking for the domain it was already taken but excalibur.draw was suggested. I ended up bringing the two together leading to excalidraw, which was available everywhere.
And it can disappear tomorrow if they developers so choose. Maybe instead it would be better to say I miss the days when I had some control over my apps.

Of course I know excalidraw is open source, so someone could just fork it if the developers gave up on it. But this is only true with open source web apps.

From your own link:

"Vaccination reduces the risk of delta variant infection and accelerates viral clearance."
Yes definitely not all Protestant sects believed in these values, they are all very different after all, but it was a common trend because they had all suffered persecution.

Protestants fled to America and the spirit of freedom of religion was started there, particularly in Pennsylvanian under the Quakers (where all religions including Muslims, Jews and Hindus were welcome... but not Catholics).

The witch burning were started, and continued to be carried out mostly by the Catholics, but there are exceptions such as the large number that took place in Scotland.

Also during the chaos and slaughter wrought by the invading Catholics, there were many cases of revenge attacks as everyone struggled for survival, but I don't know where you get the idea that it was mostly carried out by protestants.

As to your other point, pacifism and pacifist groups were a rarity but that has nothing to do with freedom of ideas. The whole basis of Protestantism is that human authority has no sway over man and each individual has to find god their own way through reading and through thought. It is very clear from history that these ideas were started by the Protestants and were spread everywhere that protestants went. Just look at where in the world all the scientific breakthroughs took place over time.
this type of Cyclist really loves gadgets and will pay >$500 for sensors to measure how much power they are producing.

They also are well adapted/conditioned to wear ridiculous sunglasses big enough to accept the optics to run a HUD.
This is a randomized clinical trial; participants are recruited into the study using methods that eliminate the biases associated with self-selected participation, like internet or TV polls. You can get statistically valid results from small samples, that apply to very broad populations, using this methodology.
Vaccine doesn't prevent spreading.
Which is a fair viewpoint from the societal level, but not as much for the individual level, which was implied in the parent message - i.e. how can "I'll take experimental treatment B instead of experimental treatment A" be an argument for not taking experimental treatments in general?
In this case the alternative to the trial would be the ‘dangerous’ option of no treatment. So that doesn’t really apply here.
You can write it in Java.
Depends on how you define effective.

Forever? No. Perfectly? No.

They do have an measurable impact on transmission, especially soon after vaccination. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02689-y
only if they are actually any good.
No.

The vaccines are not 100% effective at preventing spread (nor for preventing serious illness, for that matter).

That is not even remotely the same as "not effective".

In practice, the vaccines (with the possible partial exception of the J&J single dose) provide significant reduction in both spread and serious illness.
