One thing that’s become clear to me is that looking at any two places at one point in time, comparing that day’s stats, and using that to judge/justify the Covid policies of each on that day, is naive. We may even be in a “Moneyball” situation where we don’t know the most critical stat to measure.

> Here in Switzerland, we had plenty of lockdowns, followed the scientific wisdom and so on, and we're at 1375 deaths per million.

You can compare the number of days of lockdown to deaths per million. You should also compare at what point of time the lockdowns were undertaken. There's plenty of research that shows Non Pharmaceutical Initiatives are very effective in stopping the spread of virus.

Tell HN: Dream/Nightmare of “Engagement”
Last night I had a dream. (No, this isn't a parable; I literally dreamed this).

People wore a VR rig that could also monitor their vital signs. Facebook[1] used this to drive "engagement" - the more oxygen the user consumed, the more engaged they are.

That is, engagement was driven to the point that it became a physically measurable load on the user. "Engagement" was literally sapping peoples' physical energy.

Just a dream? Facebook's rebrand and stated new direction seem to indicate that they're going in this direction. (They might not take it this far, of course. Then again, they might.)

-----

[1] I say "Facebook", even though in my dream I never saw a logo or a brand on the UI. It looked like a FB-style feed, though.

Which again is cherry picking as you're not comparing them to the country over, or two steps away. Many of which had exactly the same death rate per 100,000 and did lock down. And the countries you're comparing them to are much smaller population wise.

And worse still, a lot of the cases in Sweden earlier doors were brought back by holidayers in Spain, a popular Swedish holiday location apparently, which is exactly what happened to the UK too.

Is it a popular Finnish holiday location? Norwegian? Do those countries even have flights to Spain?

Answers I dont know, do you?

There's two sides to every story. Instead you might ask why don't they have a higher death rate than the UK or France or Italy, all of whom locked down.

Pages in Notion have an icon you can set. The icon for a new, empty page is a blank piece of paper, and the icon for a page with content is a paper with line on it. We also allow setting an emoji as a page icon (using our emoji picker menu), or uploading or linking to an image file like an SVG.

There’s a button to apply a random emoji as a page icon but it’s not a default behavior.
The graph is unusable considering the context of the different countries. You simply can not compare the two considering how little attention Sweden actually pays to Covid in general and how little testing facilities there actually are in comparison to Germany.

These are not binary attributes. A public key absolutely can be a secret, and in many cases should be.

> If it was a public messaging service like HN, or public comments on Twitter or Facebook, then yes.

You're avoiding the question because in this case it isn't a "public messaging service." It's an attribute of an account configuration.

> Thus if privacy is a concern then you shouldn’t be using GitHub in the first place.

Nonsense. What if I use a private email for my github account? What if I only use private repositories?

You're repeatedly making an error of portraying privacy as black and white and it simply is not.

> I’m saying the SSH public keys are a lower risk than other details you share in GitHub.

No, you made a categorical, absolute statement that "If you need privacy then you shouldn’t be uploading to GitHub in the first place."

This statement is utter nonsense. Now you're just arguing that you didn't say what you actually said.

> That’s literally the point I’ve been making.

No, your statement that we're discussing was "If you need privacy then you shouldn’t be uploading to GitHub in the first place."

This statement is flatly incorrect. Your comments are demonstrably false, and your followups are irrelevant deflections.
But it's not just about the word "Doom", because the band doesn't want to name themselves that. "Doom scrolling" is a phrase that is already well known, in general use, and has extremely little to do with how the video game uses it.

For example, Id would have very little legal argument if the band (or heck, even a company in a closely related industry) wanted to name themselves "Doomsday". Id's trademark doesn't cover all syllables that sound like Doom.
Hmm. How did their trademark settlement work out for Apple Records?

Is the issue that he wanted to name his band Doomscroll or was the trademark attempt the problem? Plenty of metal bands don’t trademark their names. I just did a handful of searches against popular bands using some of my Spotify suggestions and found only a handful of matches. I bet he could have flown under the radar for a while until he got their attention, if ever. (This isn’t an attempt to excuse their behavior, it’s just an observation.)

I’ve been active in my segment of the metal world for some time and I’ve always had the impression that this isn’t something most bands do, especially when they don’t have an actual brand to protect! I’ve certainly never done it, never been advised to do it, never had a discussion with anyone else about it.

Not only that (rate of interaction spent outdoors), also an effect of UV was observed. Not massive but significant.

I cannot find the original material that informed me, but I see there was a research effort last year, described at

> The authors then used a dataset of meteorological conditions with daily resolution ... analyz[ing] how four variables — UV radiation, temperature, humidity and precipitation — correlated with the daily growth rate of COVID-19 cases ... [and] found evidence that a location’s UV exposure significantly affects COVID-19 transmission. A change in UV exposure by 1 standard deviation (roughly equal to the difference in UV between May and June in Los Angeles) reduced the growth rate of new cases by around 1 percentage point over the following two weeks

Some people like an 'exobrain' that they can browse when feeling creative. Many productive people have some sort of journaling system, whether it's post-it notes stuck to their fridge, or even a basic TODO list on their phone. I would be lost without the Notes app on iOS.

Typically I write notes when I'm falling asleep and my mind races. For some reason my best ideas happen at night, not when I've had my coffee in the morning when apparently people are at their 'peak'. But then I can execute on those notes I wrote last night when I'm full of energy so it's a win.

> Apple Corps

Apple Corpse is heavier than Doomscroll.
Huh? "Doomscroll" is a neologism. However, trademarks generally have a "scope of protection" to apply to the goods and services that your company is involved with. See:

https://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/basics/scope-protection

It seems that you're objecting to "common collactions." Do you mean common words used together? Like "General Electric" or "Master Card" or "Mountain Dew?"

It's also very common for people to file an objection to a Trademark registration. We've had SAP and other companies do it to us. The marks get granted anyway. It's just something Big Company lawyers to do get more billable hours.
It's pretty hard to draw conclusions from looking at the GDP, since the global economy is so entangled (and the Swedish economy is fairly exports-based).

"As revealed on 5 February 2007, Apple Inc. and Apple Corps reached a settlement of their trademark dispute under which Apple Inc. will own all of the trademarks related to "Apple" and will license certain of those trademarks back to Apple Corps for their continued use. The settlement ends the ongoing trademark lawsuit between the companies, with each party bearing its own legal costs, and Apple Inc. will continue using its name and logos on iTunes. The settlement includes terms that are confidential, although newspaper accounts at the time stated that Apple Computer was buying out Apple Corps' trademark rights for a total of $500 million."

Ironically yes, I could provided enough raw data is actually published and this was part of the formal statement about reproducibility and reliability of report 9.

That alone is probably one of the reasons the above data is now declared in the interests of nation states rather than being openly shared data.
Only a few years ago we were making headway in data like this being made publicly available in it's entirety through equivalent to the English ONS.
But this is now very inconvenient and frankly some of the data has been deemed "does not exist" so it can't be requested under FOI laws in the UK, despite the infrastructure still being in place and working in collection of this data.

I'm not crying conspiracy I'm just making a statement that lack of transparency sucks the big one when it comes to public policy.
In considering areas, are you including vaccination rates? https://usafacts.org/visualizations/covid-vaccine-tracker-st...

CA, OR, and WA have better rates than many places, and the North East is by far the most vaccinated area of the country.
I think the more likely situation was that, given that humans spend so much of their energy in their brains, early humans had high selection pressure to make this process more efficient.

I actually agree with the GP here. The analogy to 1930's Nazi Germany, or the early stages of any authoritarian regime (notice the GGGP also used 1910's Russia) has many similarities to today.

- Apple has spent billions on promoting it

- has intentionally gimped several top ten web properties for other browsers

until then this is a problem for iOS users, including me, not an internet problem.

I get it, Safari is annoying, but lets not compare Apple fleecing their own users (including me) with Google trying to finish off what Microsoft failed to: to kill the open web.

That doesn't mean much. Compare https://www.etymonline.com/word/loot :

This would make it a cognate of rape, by the way.

But being traceable to Proto-Indo-European doesn't tell you anything about the age of the English word. That is a loan from Hindi, and only dates back to the British Raj.

There is a trend with larger companies trademarking single word names like: Meta (Facebook), Matter (Ubisoft)

I’m sure large companies have figured that they can eliminate a large segment with single word trademark route.

I bet this is what Facebook is planning too, eliminate every company from using any word with “meta” in it.
So... and I mean this genuinely: that isn't the point I was addressing, but I suppose if you understood it to be "word salad" then reading comprehension isn't your strong suit.

Maybe its time for you to reconsider the wisdom of framing this as some kind of game with sides? Or maybe just tone down the mind reading, because you don't do it very well.
Wow. I didn't know that's where Radio Free Skaro got their theme from. I always assumed it was something made for the show.

This is all besides the point, as I mentioned above.

The narrative promoted by YT and the MSM isn't accepted by around 50% of the US. Pick any contentious issue you feel is settled and take an honest look at the dissenting views. Consider any malign incentives of the claim you support. If you're not capable of this, then check your tooling.

Regardless of your attempts to lay claim to "objective truths" or "reality", there's a narrative surrounding these issues. Taking subjective perception and describing it as "reality" as you have above is going to be problematic. These are basic concepts that need to be dealt with before you can examine the natural world or media narratives.

>"The most basic question is not what is best, but who shall decide what is best." Thomas Sowell

Perhaps these videos are downvoted because viewers find them to be egregious deceptions?

It is fine to imply that there should be a 50/50 split in YT votes, but this ignores the disgust factor. It also ignores how engaged proponents of these views may or may not be. A simple explanation might be that the level of disgust of the dissenters exceeds the halfhearted engagement of the proponents. Which again, is besides the point.

You speak of delusion before claiming an exclusive license on "reality", but at the same time you wish to discount the evidence before your very eyes, the vocal dissent here and elsewhere. That's your prerogative. You're free to believe what you will, but don't expect to sell others on it. Trying to dismiss dissent as delusion exceeds these concepts. Of course you are free to believe what you will, just as others are free to dissent. Again, a basic issue of logic.

I've settled on something similar and just use Apple Notes. I find note taking to be a lot like a camera, use the thing you have on you. For me this means it must be easy to take a note from any device at any time.

I know it's locked into Apple, etc..., but being able to draw notes on the iPad, quick type notes from my iPhone, or type (and search) across all of those from my Mac is what finally made it 'stick' for me.

Notion looks interesting, but too flexible can often be a problem. The danger is it's easy to slip into the thought that organizing equates to getting things done.

Even then it's not an issue-free baseline. How many people died because they couldn't use the roads, either directly (get to help) or indirectly (delivery of inputs that prevented a death)?

Covid is even harder to measure. One Example: You shut down elementary schools to prevent kids from getting infected; how many were pushed back into broken homes from the only safe space they had? How many will have long-term pain from learning , nutrition, physical abuse, mental health?

Most policy can be reduced to "Better safe than sorry" which completely ignores the direct and indirect costs of any action.
It's funny though, not scary. Was it trying to be funny? It's funny because it's absurd, and it's absurd I assume because the bot has no context as to what any of this means.
