Yes, it didn't kill the parent. You might have missed the part where it killed 40% of the children at or shortly after birth.

And yes, that's (one reason) why the recommendations for the Covid vaccine were not given for pregnant women at first.

The point wasn't that there are drugs known to be dangerous to pregnant women (mainly the unborn child). The ask was for an approved drug that caused delayed death.

There were definitely so many things going wrong w/ that specific drug but it serves as a really good example for why all these precautions are taken and should be taken and any new drug should not be presumed safe but presumed dangerous and proven to not be harmful. The specific time frames and measures can of course be debated to find a good spot on the spectrum and an active pandemic can influence the choices. The discussion was going in the direction of some posters saying we should assume safe first and the Contergan case very clearly shows why assuming safety is the wrong choice.

If it works like presented on those mockups it is useless.

And since we only see mockups I'm sure it doesn't work at all and is a scam.

I've tried to make a DIY hud for bicycle riding and it failed on two steps:

- you need enough brightness for it to be visible in full daylight, so the image was be tinny or the blue oled I've tried to use weren't bright enough

- my prototype worked well with a straight piece of glass and a plastic sheet Fresnel lens, but it wasn't good for actual use. For actual use you need to project out-of-focus image on a curved surface of bike glasses. I have no idea how to make it small, precise enough and cheap enough.

There are also miniature DLP projectors from TI, that I think would work but they were pretty expensive for a hobbyist to use.
Uh, isn't the whole point of this news that they are, in fact, close to being profitable?
Looks like Helion has a long-term target of 1¢/kwh.

Conveniently, BCHydro just emailed me my bill this morning. They charge $0.2077/day. Then $0.0939/kWh for the first 688kWh and then $0.1408/kWh after that.

It looks like Helion is targeting to be somewhere between 10x to 15x cheaper than hydro-electricity.

Ever since I read Neal Stephenson's Anathem, this idea has stuck with me. Especially in regards to questions about who deserves the glory for creating/popularizing things first. Vanishingly few ideas are new, and that's okay. Journey, not destination, yada yada... What a fun write-up.

Factored Quality (YC W20) | Frontend & Backend Engineers | New York or Remote | Full Time/Perm

Hey everyone! My name is Lucas Fridman. I'm one of the cofounders of Factored Quality. At FQ, we're building one of the last missing pieces of modern commerce infrastructure: a digital platform that lets e-commerce and retail brands book and manage quality control inspectors overseas. We are to quality control what Flexport is to freight forwarding.

Factored was started by a team of software engineers, data scientists, and supply chain managers - all focused on goal: enable entrepreneurs to bring their prodcuts to market faster, simpler, and cheaper. We worry about helping brands manage quality control so they don't have to. We aim to redefine how quality control is managed, and need strong engineers to make it happen.

Our team is currently comprised of 10 folks across our US and Hong Kong offices. We've raised more than $5 Million to date from an incredible team of investors and operators like Amity Ventures, Dynamo Ventures, and Y-Combinator.

We're looking for both frontend and backend engineers to help us build the future of quality control. If you're interested in learning more, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly! Also please take a look at the job posts (linked below)

> To me it comes across as hubris to claim 'nothing happened' for hundreds of millions of years just because we can't see any evidence for it.

I think that's an important perspective, but I am not seeing how it applies in this case: We're talking mostly about evolutionary changes. For example, right now evolution is happening but it's unlikely that you or I will ever notice it in our relatively short lifespans. And the chance of an event as big as the first eukaryote or the K/T extinction event (the one that killed the dinosaurs) is very, very tiny.

For around the first billion years of earth's history, there was no life at all (as best we can tell right now) - nada, zilch, 'nothing' happening evolutionarily, for most intents and purposes (afaik).

The only way to really solve this is to follow the money. There will always be vulnerabilities but whether it's profitable to exploit them is another story. Ads move fast but money moves slow.

The victims are good publishers ( miss out on ad dollars that would have gone their way) and advertisers (who have generally moved their money to walled gardens where there isn't an agency incentive problem).

The niche LXQt fills for me is a light desktop environment that looks and feels "normal". For example, I just (like ten minutes ago) put Debian LXQt on an older Thinkpad for my kids to use, because it exposes things nicely and still is light enough to not be frustrating. It will also keep my wife from yelling at me if she has to help them with something when I'm not around. It's a good balance of light and usable.

What you said is not criticism, it's just an insult. It adds nothing to the conversation and lowers the level of discourse.

I'm not celebrating anything. I'm a skeptic at heart and don't believe in any hype until I see meaningful progress. I just don't see the need to shit all over something because my gut tells me it's hype.
No — if it was that easy, the odds are high that something else would have already done so. The two things which tend to factor into this are that there's a lot of natural variation so it means that the population will change to favor a high percentage of people who are somewhat resistant to it[1] after a few generations of recovery.

There's also an inverse relationship between deadliness and spread: if something kills at a high rate, the odds are high that it'll burn out when the outside world goes into quarantine as long as it doesn't spread to 100% of the breeding population before they start dying. Anything deadly enough to wipe out a species is going to have a LOT less resistance to lockdowns — COVID-19 is deadly but far below the rates of other diseases and that puts it in a grey area where there are a fair number of people who've had it and can say “no big deal”. Smallpox or polio were enough worse that people jumped on treatment campaigns because almost everyone with lived experience knew they didn't want it.

1. A great example appears to be Sickle Cell Anemia, where the gene responsible is thought to confer some resistance to malaria — normally this would be a disadvantage but in areas where malaria is endemic the risk of SCA is more than balanced by the risk of malaria.

I have no idea whether this would work. I read the really great debate linked by another commenter, https://old.reddit.com/r/fusion/comments/qkvzjs/fusion_energ..., and while it was 98% Greek to me, was good to see some of the ideas and challenges.

Main thing I wanted to say is that we all love to shit on how Silicon Valley has basically gotten rich off investing in websites and SaaS products over the past ~15 years, areas which the Internet has provided a natural monopoly to the winner but haven't really been the type of "societal innovation" we've been craving. This, however, is obviously different, and if it works (a huge if), would be on par with the transistor in terms of societal effects. Kudos to Sam for swinging big.
> However this is only applicable if your friend is the one that is attacking... themselves.

Nope.

Let's assume I have root on the Threema servers and have fully pwned their infrastructure, and want to substitute someone's public key to attack the app. (Remember: The minimum threat model for end-to-end encryption is that the server is evil.)

Alice pushes (3ma_id, pk) to the server, and chats with Bob legitimately. Bob suggests Alice talk to his drug dealer, Dave.

When Alice goes to talk to Dave, instead of (3ma_id, pk) the compromised server sends Dave (3ma_id, pk') where (SHA256-128(pk) == SHA256-128(pk')) and the sk that corresponds to pk' is known to the attacker.

In this situation, a visual inspection of the fingerprint will reveal nothing amiss. The QR code will still validate.

This attack can be leveraged in both directions to make Man-in-the-Middle possible, and the fingerprint mechanism will fail.

The full set of keys and substitutions here looks like this:

Alice -> Bob: (A_id, A_pk)
Alice -> Dave: (A_id, M_pk1)
Bob -> Alice: (B_id, B_pk)
Bob -> Dave: (B_id, D_pk)
Dave -> Bob: (D_id, D_pk)
Dave -> Alice: (D_id, M_pk2)

SHA256-128(A_pk) == SHA256-128(M_pk1), A_pk != M_pk1
SHA256-128(D_pk) == SHA256-128(M_pk2), D_pk != M_pk2

Now Alice's communications with Dave are tapped by a MitM (the attacker) and the fingerprint fails to stop it. And you only need a collision of a partial SHA-256 hash to pull the attack off. You don't need a preimage attack.

It's funny that people read the same data with such different interpretations. This is why I feel like the insistence of "just look at the data" rarely leads to a clear decision, and anyone working at a company that has dealt with giving data to people to make decisions will know this intimately. People use data to make their point, and if the data doesn't agree, then they slice it or adjust it or reason their way out of using it, so they can make the decision they want.

(translated to english)

>For data intrusion, a person who illegally prepares access to information that is intended for automatic processing or illegally changes, deletes, blocks or registers such information is sentenced

This app does not appear to meet this definition as the data they are exposing is not intended for automatic processing, but it is exposing manually consumed data (i.e. the parents were already consuming this data manually) in a different, more accessible way.

I agree the city obviously wasn't intending to expose an API.

Which precedents are you talking about. I don't know much of anything about Swedish law so any precedent you can show would be educational for me.
My guess is that the end game is when the vaccine mandate goes into effect in January. Most people will get vaccinated and those that don't wont and nothing will make them. At that point in time all that could be done has been done and life goes on. Optimally enough will be to grant some form of herd immunity or reducing the spread. I'll just get a booster when I can and go about my life. I have for all intents and purpose resumed normal life. I wear a mask in a grocery store most of the time just to give some respect to the cashiers who are wearing them but that's essentially it.
Yes, it only has minor issues.
whats so terribly wrong about this? a shop can get too senior. and senior people have a tendency to do what they want and not what the business thinks it needs.

unless RedHat is getting into quantum computing or cpu design, i expect they can probably save alot of money and may in fact end up with a better functioning org.
I can accept that, thanks for sharing! I agree, things like XFCE and MATE need quite a bit of mucking around to actually look "normal".

95% of time Dell XPS 13 will be more practical for actual work while an ereader or tablet will be better for consumption.

> but by your definition vaccinated people are also "walking bioweapons".

Worse than unvaccinated really, since they're less likely to get sick they won't know they're infected and that they should try to stay home.
No comment on this technology but only commenting on the thought process that Sam or any of these “intellectual billionaires” are right about complex scientific problems because they know enough people who know how this tech works is not valid. The people who circle billionaires have a huge conflict of interest to convince them to fork over billions, and they know people like Sam are smart enough that you can’t lie to them. So they do (subconsciously often) what George Costanza said which is believe in the lie themselves. So yeah don’t trust experts If they’re looking at you for a cheque (even if they themselves won’t directly get the check).

>it seems every store has its own credit card.

Fyi, vast majority of those are co-branded cards which means they are underwritten by a bank. Examples:

- Amazon VISA card is underwritten by Chase Bank

- Costco VISA card is underwritten by Citi Bank

If you look closely on the Pep Boys card, you'll see who the bank issuer is.

It's different from the old days of mom&pop grocery stores running their own ledger of customer accounts. The grocery store was the actual lender of credit. With co-branded credit cards, it's the bank and not the retailer that's lending money for customers to buy merchandise.
And then…I looked in the mirror! :-)
>>You can repeat "The derivative is the slope of the curve" until you're blue in the face but some people just won't 'get it'.

Then you have to explain why the slope of a line is significant. For example if you have the position of something in the form of an equation you can take the derivative and get the velocity. Anybody who understands why the slope of the line is interesting will fair far better.beyond that the area under the curve of a velocity graph will give you the distance traveled.
Taiwan's name is literally the Republic of China. To say they don't identify as China is incredibly misleading.

Taiwan absolutely see themselves as heirs of Chinese culture and lineage.They are split on if they want to be the sole heir or share it with the PRC. They don't want to be part of the PRC, but they are and want to be Chinese.
Fact is, how it gets injected appears to have a very significant influence on it's impact to the patient.

There is a clear distinction here; namely, whether the vaccine was improperly used.

Taking too much Tylonol can cause liver failure. Too much Ibuprofen can cause renal failure...

In those cases, the drug was improperly used, but the cause analysis centers on improper use, because doing that multiplies the risk and symptom severity.

See how that all works?

Saying the "vaccine caused it" simply is not enough information, which is why I linked what I did.

It is important that we get these discussions right.

Edit:

In the interest of accuracy, note I did not say the vaccine did not cause the trouble. I said it probably did not cause it, and I said improper injection probably did.

Neither is an absolute. I did not intend, nor mean to imply otherwise. What I did intend was to improve on the clarity, scope and accuracy of the discussion.

Why bother?

Better discussion means more informed people taking fewer risks and or making more good choices, all of which will improve law, costs, outcomes.

Getting back to the matter at hand, when we factor the elements down, we see one thing we can do right away, and that is we make damn sure we are administering vaccines properly.

There are risks with the vaccine. They are small by percentage, but they are there. No argument from me.

Those risks go up dramatically with improper injection; namely, it being delivered directly to the blood stream, which is entirely avoidable.
> Maybe someone who does video encoding or compiling large projects will spike their CPU usage to 100% for a couple hours per day at most.

Yeah that's sort of my situation, I do some large data conversion (not video but same idea) tasks that do run 24/7, sometimes up to a couple weeks long, but those tasks are infrequent and the box is idle the rest of the time. I do most of it on a Hetzner server that uses an old Intel desktop cpu. CPU has been fine all this time, but they did swap out the memory sticks for me due to suspected errors a while back.

So far it sounds like only AMD supports ECC memory for the desktop processors, and imho that is significant. I'm staying away from home PC's (other than my dinky laptop) but if I were to get one, I'd want ECC.
