Yes, Florida is very bad at detecting non-severe cases, so it has a low case rate. The Right has been pushing Florida’s recent case rate for about a month, after spending the rest of the pandemic pointing to death rates as the right thing to compare, because case rates are affected by differences in surveillance, among other reasons.

Florida’s recent COVID death rate is still above the national level, at 0.50/day/100K vs. 0.38 nationally.

Is the future of web about the client or the server?
The current trend appears to be towards server-side rendering on the edge with thinner clients.

Think: React Server Components, Edge Workers, Next.js SSR, etc.

The goal being faster page load times, and a reduction in complexity by shifting data access server-side.

At the same time devices are becoming faster and more powerful, and internet speed is increasing.

This means, latency will be reduced allowing more responsive SSR experience, but at the same time, devices will be able to download, parse and execute JS bundles quicker. More RAM and storage also means more data/code cached locally.

A client-focused future would be about mobile apps, installed web apps, offline/local-first, syncing, moving more app logic locally. A server-focused future would be about pushing all logic to the edge with server components/SSR and making clients thin.

The dilemma is that with increases in speed and capabilities, both seem to get better, but which approach will win out?
Rich millennials are rejecting financial advisers: “Its easy to manage yourself”
Keep in mind the COLA for social security was 5.9% percent this year.

Im going to be negotiating off of that figure.
It's reversed in the US; MMS is typically free on even the cheapest plans here, data is metered.
> The real impact will be the financial handicap that comes with an inability to harvest and then sell customer data to commercial partners.

Handicaps are relative. The carmakers just don’t get to make money a new way. There are many ways they don’t get to make more money. Not an actual problem to anyone.
It's both. You need to advocate for yourself and not just decide to be a victim, and the government needs to regulate many, many predatory industries because half the population is below average intelligence, and, well, I believe a government is supposed to lookout for its citizenry (including when I get too old to understand tech and people try to take advantage of me, which they will). Yeah, go ahead and call me a nanny-state liberal. I'm OK with that.
And this makes the system useless. Removing it is the healthy solution to interrupt the game.
"got in touch with the CEO, which isn't a viable path for everyone". that's an understatement. But glad you were able to get it resolved!
Seems great for Android but no iOS or desktop versions sort of limits it as a replacement for Premium, no?
I really hate their reports too, their "Insights". Telling me how I should be doing my job and if I used their sacred features enough to be a worthy employee. Once it was telling me I didn't use the @mention feature in Teams enough, stuff like that. You know, that Teams that is constantly crashing or hanging and takes about a minute to launch. Maybe make it actually work before lecturing me on how to use it?

Not to mention they use the same standards to evaluate everybody. Whereas in some jobs (e.g. project manager) it's good to be on calls all day whereas with others (e.g. technical roles) it's important to have time to focus. They don't take this into account at all.

Of course I turn that crap off. I don't get the reports. But I'm sure it doesn't stop the actual collection of data. And more worrying, it shows there's people at Microsoft who think this stuff is a good idea and totally justifiable. Eeeew.

I know they say they don't show identifiable information to the employer. I have to trust them at that because I can't verify it. But collection of personal data is a bad thing whether it has consequences or not. Just knowing it's being collected changes one's behaviour and makes one feel unsafe. This is how a panopticon prison works.

Unfortunately some of the higher-ups at our company have been extensively groomed by Microsoft (remember the old saying: Microsoft is much better at talking to your boss than you are!) so I'm sure this will be switched on as soon as they can. Insights reports are already often re-enabled as a friendly 'suggestion', of course the holy Edge has been made the standard browser with its Bing search (tm). This'll be next.

I'm not against vigilance against 'insider trust/threat' issues by the way. I know the department that follows up on these and I know some of the things they have come up with were really bad. However I believe this is a typical thing that requires targeted investigation and human detective work, not dragnets and machine learning. The same way I believe this for society in general.
Digital Nomads are typically defined as people who earn a living through working remotely and live a nomadic lifestyle. E.g. staying for a few weeks here, a month or three there, etc.

"where careers ... are dead and gone, where corporations want employees to move around as serifs [sic]"

I guess I don't really know of any corps that make people move around constantly. I wouldn't count living in one spot for years as "nomadic".

"does that make us all digital nomads?"

Most people don't live nomadic lifestyles, so no. Maybe for a year or two before settling down, but I don't know very many people who really do travel often and live in a nomadic fashion.
> The problem with Youtube as I see it is that these comments never rise to the top. It's always compliments and ass-kissing and high-fives that make it there.

That's because they have engineered their comment system in a way that comments the AI perceives as negative are shadow-banned or buried deep down so people don't get a chance to read them.
Intel CEO Hitler Reacts to Apple Silicon M1 (Parody)
Both the delivery van and truck/suv will be production constrained by battery supply for many years to come. Honestly they should just build whatever has a better margin with the battery supply they have until they are not cell constrained anymore.
If they concentrated on looking only in Marion County they missed it. It clearly is in far southwestern Winston County due south of Haleyville on a line between there and Eldridge that places it a little over 3/4 mile west of Hwy 13 pretty close to the half-moon shaped pond on the headwaters of Dry Creek.

If they would focus their search on a radius of about 5 miles from that location they will probably have more likely candidates to consider. There is a small community on the curve in Hwy 13 south of the Hwy 9/13 intersection and further west of that there is an active quarry. It doesn't look like coal but I can't be sure. Anyway, though this is at the NE edge of the Black Warrior basin I don't see any active production.

Here are a few pics I put together for grins.

EDIT: I wanted to add that there has been frac activity in the Black Warrior Basin for about 10 years. It is mostly south of there. That basin has been productive for a long time so there is a high likelihood that there are old wells that have not been plugged, they are simply abandoned and many could be essentially open-hole. That would be an obvious path for hydrocarbons to reach the surface and it would definitely not be the only time it has happened. I know from experience that fracking a well can cause pressure and production increases in connected wells 10s of miles away if the fracked interval is connected in the subsurface. Pressure always moves from high pressure to low pressure while it equalizes. This area is also the southwestern extension of the Appalachian coal trend. There could be some coal activity locally.
I don't disagree that privacy abuse for various goals, or some governmental policies (like the treatment of Snowden) are not beholden to public opinion. Although the counterargument might be the intensity of public opinion on the topic.

My main argument is specifically around whether the US is veering towards the implementation of a social credit score (which I think would look like having ones credit score be impacted by social reasons, and having the credit score be more pivotal to various civil liberties like travel). That's the kind of thing I think intense public outrage would shift government behaviors, especially since it's the kind of policy that would impact every single American
Is there any working non-research reactor producing power anywhere in the world using Thorium?
you should disclose how much of the net revenue comes from selling tax credits.

Telsa is not making money from vehicles yet from what I recall. Rivian will be a long way away from making money on tax credits.
Where there is the will, there is a way!
Skating under the radar? Probably not.

Paying someone else the equivalent of a (low) full-time salary to take your courses for you? Probably.
> Could someone make an external index and review site for yt videos?

Yes, but gaining any sort of widespread traction would be really hard. The vast majority of YT viewers won’t have your chrome extension or whatever installed and without a critical mass of ratings on the long tail of low-view videos, people will lose interest fast.

Maybe if you seeded it with scraped vote counts now people would use it.
> So much it destroyed the military dictatorship and turned the country practically pacifist for a few decades.

So I'm not really familiar with the intricacies of, well, any period of Japanese history, but my understanding was that the US military kept a very strong presence in Japan for many years after the allied victory, and both directly and indirectly had its fingers in Japanese politics.

I'm eager to hear the take of someone more familiar with the history. I know the US forced Japan to abandon/greatly downsize its military after the victory (not unusual) but due to the Korean War had to accelerate a plan to protect Japan, which ultimately resulted in the "Japanese Self-Defense Forces", that seems like it could be as much a result of pacifism as internal politics and US pressure against creating anything resembling an army.
There are plenty of extroverted people in service industries that just plain like talking to people. I'm not one of them, I'm an introverted engineer type like many others here on HN. I shouldn't work as a server. But that kind of person most certainly does exist.
What a disaster all the top-level comments are both here and on the article.
Ask HN: What are some of the best well-written books on computer science?
I'm curious if you have a favorite CS book specifically for the way it was written and how the author communicated their ideas.
Your comment added nothing of value to this discussion. Replying and telling someone that you appreciate their "feelings" while ignoring the points made may make you feel good, but it neither refutes their arguments nor substantiates yours... if you'd even care to make any.
The irony is, Apple has probably achieved most their goal with the announcement, making the implementation largely redundant.

It's worth stopping to consider that while Apple's plans were a hot topic for the the civil liberties crowd, that's probably piss in the wind compared to how hard the announcement landed among underground CSAM communities across the globe. I dare say that even the most technically inept CSAM aficionados will be acutely aware of this looming threat and will know to keep that shit far away from any of their Apple devices.

(It would be especially ironic if there's now more awareness in those communities of Apple's semi-aborted CSAM scanning than of Google or Facebook's CSAM scanning, which has been operational for many years.)
Yes I see the downvotes. I forgot humor is frowned upon here.
Interesting. A doubling in the US seems bigger to me than just the chip shortage.

I wonder if the US tax incentives/spending policy this year are increasing demand at the same time supply is short?
> On HN, your line here is 200 characters in 9pth Verdana, so it's also pretty extreme (perhaps because I have a wider screen).

I'm actually doing two things to shorten the line width as measured in characters. #1, my browser window is set to a size I find reasonable, not fullscreen. #2, I have HN configured at "110% zoom" (not sure precisely what that means, but it's how Firefox reports it), which makes the text larger and therefore allows fewer characters per line.
Personally, I'd rather they keep the dislike count and dump the comments section.

I can probably count the number of times I've come across a comments section on YouTube that hasn't been a dumpster fire of idiocy on two hands (and I'm being generous).
> Why would people bother with crappy MP3s when they could have no-loss storage instead? SMH.

Today, most users are listening to AAC or Ogg Vorbis, not MP3. At typical compression rates, the distinction between lossy compression and lossless is completely anaudible. There have been many many blind studies of this, including some you can take yourself online right now.

Fire up your nice headphone amp, plug in your electrostatic headphones and take a blind test yourself. You'll find that there's no audible benefit to lossless compression. It's just a waste of network bandwidth and disk space.
> If the whole point of being a spy is that nobody knows who you really are and no one can ever find out, how exactly are you supposed to achieve this level of anonymity when you’ve flung untold reams of identifiable content across the digital world?

When everyone has an online presence, the absence of such a presence raises huge red flags. I would expect every spy on earth nowadays has tons of pictures on social media showing them having fun with their friends, cool vacations they've been on, selfies with famous people they've met. So long as they don't tweet something dumb like "CIA's sending me to Belarus #Coup2022", anyone looking at their profile will most likely see a normal person who is probably here for normal reasons. Sure maybe if they went over the profile with a fine tooth comb they'ed notice some things that don't add up, but there isn't a reason to look closer. On the other hand the person without a social media gets scrutinized, and regardless of when you were born there is information on you out there that a sufficiently motivated individual can find.

This article seems completely and utterly ass-backwards to me.

If you want to get over writers block just embrace bullshitting, lying, and faking it until you make it.

Learn how to obscure your lack of knowledge with anything through prose that pulls sleight-of-hand word games so that the bulk of people don't realize you have no idea what you're talking about.

And people will eat it up.

> the styling does not matter at all.

Supply may be fully consumed, but demand may not be equal, allowing for one company to demand a higher premium on their product over another. Fantastic example of this is AMD slashing the price of the 5800x in response to Intel 12th gen. It's not like there isn't a chip shortage and supply isn't fully saturated.
You implemented the signal protocol and came to this (wrong) conclusion? I have a hard time believing that.
TIFF is still used in forensics/evidence processing by law enforcement agencies world-wide.

Seeing it on this list makes me think the author didn't dig very deep when writing this article.
You can certainly argue the afghani's won against both the russians and the united states tactically, that being said you wouldn't argue that afghanistan is doing better than russia or the united states as a consequence of "winning" said wars.
In Europe, maybe. Typically not here in the US.
Not "Fifth largest in this part of the country"

Rather "Fifth largest .. this year in the lower 48 U.S. states", which is pretty large area.
That's pretty much what Morse Code is, listening for the sound unique to the combination of dots and dashes. You don't count the dots and dashes you listen for the sound that combination makes.
How does it make the system useless? It simply means the bar for "should I watch this" re: [dis]like ratio changes at least in part based on video content. If I see a technical video with more than 10-15% dislikes, I probably won't watch it or will be skeptical. But a video about abortion can be 50/50 and still have great content.

It seems unlikely that giving someone more information makes something worthless.

Can anyone point to a good source that has data on per-capita deaths grouped by age range per state? Florida has an older population so I wouldn't be surprised if they had more deaths per-capita.
When is a thing merely a privilege, and not a right? Particularly when both can be conditional or qualified? I'm not sure this isn't playing a game of semantics--just because its called a privilege and not a right in the American context, does not mean that an argument that driving is not a right and merely a privilege.
Note the logical fallacy they want to implant here:
Dislike "attacks" result in high dislike counts, therefore all high dislike counts are not genuine.
It can go either way. There are certainly are creepy demands from bad managers. But there also are extroverted people that like to talk. They like to talk so much, that as an introvert myself, I find it exhausting. But that doesn't mean they are being coerced. That is just how that style of person is wired.
Why You Should Like Dislikes (2019)
An EV Maverick would be excellent, because of the short bed.

There are a lot of us city-folk that love the Maverick because it is a truck for people who occasionally go to the home-goods store/dump/buy a large TV/etc, and nothing more (e.g. weak towing capacity, no room for tools AND a sheet of plywood in the bed). But price matters, the Maverick doesn't work as a $40K vehicle even as EV.
How is a refinery explosion, pipeline shutdown or glut proof that demand is elastic?

All that shows is that supply is elastic and that market price varies. For the most part, demand is inelastic. You require the same amount of fuel to go to work/school and return. Now you could vary your shopping habits, go to a shopping center with several stores as opposed to the stores you like. You could put off a road trip or vacation but it isn't like either of those things are the bulk of gasoline usage.

Refinery and pipeline problems are relatively short-term events. Something like an embargo which caused the oil crisis would definitely change behavior and demand.

When you talk about allowing prices to determine who gets and doesn't get a good that is fine when it is a luxury item like graphics cards. But when you talk about the same thing for a necessity like food, water and electricity then getting priced out of the market means death.
Reminds me of an interesting Great War technology. During WW1 the British used a system called the "power buzzer" which used two spaced electrodes and sent an alternating current through the earth. Apparently this could be picked up and amplified by another ground electrode at some distance, and was used to send morse code communications. I'm struggling to find a good modern explanation but here is a scan of the original military manual:

We teach and re-enforce. Blocking is the result of failing to respect the established terms and losing the privilege until we have re-established them.

It's really that simple.

In the case of NextDNS its less controlling what they see, we're not naive about that - but more about ensuring their safety and well being.
It has zero affect. They will sell every single vehicle they can make for a decade. If by then, people think the design is weird they will build a traditional truck.

The hard part is scaling battery cell production. The shell of the vehicle is easy to change out if people are not buying it.
I didn't say it was useless, I said that I find it useless. Not the same thing at all.

It's not my intent here to comment on the utility of the feature in any universal sense - my comment is about the disparity between the reactions of different people. And it's just a casual observation, I'm not trying to argue for any thesis or anything here.
The Sun posted a 10 too, but she was on page 3.
I disagree. If you use just the percentage from one line of business, this gives the bigger players ability to become bullies when entering new business segments. Google has hundreds of billions of cash on hand, so they can encroach on any new business they want with below board tactics and the fine is based on only percentage of revenue that comes from that new line of business would under penalize them.
Saying a website may have pro-Chinese users pushing a narrative is nowhere equivalent to the accusations of McCarthy which had the backing of the US government and the weight if the law behind them. That is why your comment comes off as dishonest.

Yeah exactly. I hate ads and 15$ is nothing to me. I'm not a poor college student anymore.
Speculation is also a problem when you have to pay to play.

Everyone needs housing, but when owning a house means it has a speculative resale value, you have to pay that premium in order to buy one.

This has a few consequences:

1. Downpayments and mortgages grow, because you aren't just buying shelter, you are buying a financial instrument with a significant resale value.

2. Your financial well-being is now deeply entwined in the fate of the housing and mortgage market. Higher interest rates become horrible for you, as they depress housing prices, and put your home underwater. New construction is horrible to you, as it reduces the value of the speculative portion of your purchase. Likewise for the existence of affordable forms of housing, and renter-friendly legislature.

Speculation from the perspective of a developer is part of running a business. They shoulder a fair amount of financial risk when they choose to develop, and obviously want to hedge it. Speculation as a 'every homeowner in the country is also a speculator, whether they want to be one or not' leads to some questionable outcomes.
I guess normally, sitting from the US, you'd say "in the lower 48 states"; but if you're writing for an international audience, the USA is not the only country made up of many states (see the nearby country named the United Mexican States, for instance). So I can see why there might be an urge to specify by adding "US States" for the United States' States.
They performed an experiment to see if removing the dislike button would mitigate brigade voting, or mob voting, especially against small creators. The results of their experiment, they say, is that it did address this issue.

That sounds like a great result!

The problem would be if they did not test any other side effect of removing the dislike button. For example, if the only thing they tested was whether it prevented mob downvoting in a small number of cases, and not whether it negatively affected the experience for a majority of users, the results of the experiment would not mean much. Based on the reaction, I am guessing this what they actually did.

(If they published their methodology and results somewhere, I apologize: I looked but did not find anything like this).

That's the problem with product research: it's often poorly designed, when it's not just designed to confirm a prior decision and back it up with some data.
So many better ways than funnelling your money through Google.
