Not exactly what you are asking, but close enough: From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measles_vaccine

> This is often done at age 15 to 18 months. After one dose at the age of nine months 85% are immune, while a dose at twelve months results in 95% immunity.

This graphic is interesting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measles_vaccine#/media/File:Me... With one dose the case number is reduced a lot, but there are still some smaller peaks aver few years. After the second dose was made mandatory, the number of cases goes to almost zero.

I'm not sure about Canada, but here in Argentina kids get two doses, and every 5-10 years there is a effort to give an additional dose to some groups with more risk (like small children).

The text says the 8 cards are connected to one antenna. To me it sounds like he's doing it because each card only gives him a fraction of the bandwidth he needs to cover.

Edit: I don't understand why he needs that much bandwidth though - maybe he just happens to have the cluster, but I suspect he could get basically a 1/8 slice (full height, but only covering 1/8th of the width of the picture) with only one receiver.

I don't believe that the HackRF cluster is required for receiving the beacons. After the 11 GHz signal is down converted by the LNB, an RTLSDR should be fine for reception. happysat77 on Reddit used a PlutoSDR, but an RTLSDR should be ok, since the down converted signal is around 1600 MHz. The bandwidth of the beacon is only 1 kHz or so.

Ask HN: To how many streaming services do you subscribe?
I've been wondering how the fragmentation of the streaming media market affects usage and spending.

As more content providers start their own streaming platforms (Disney+, Paramount+, etc.) and streaming platforms are increasing their content creation efforts (Netflix, Amazon, etc.), it seems like the fragmentation is going to get worse and if one has eclectic tastes they'll need to subscribe to more and more streaming services to get everything they want.

Especially as these services hoard their libraries and don't license them to other services.

At what point does that fragmentation hit a limit? How many USD$10-$15/month streaming subscriptions are too many?

In the past, cable TV subscriptions bundled so much stuff that folks didn't want together with the stuff they did want, driving prices through the roof.

Then, getting Netflix/Amazon Prime and (possibly) an OTA antenna was plenty for most people to "cut the cord" (or never connect that cord in the first place) because it was significantly less expensive and had extensive libraries licensed from the content providers.

Now, it seems like we're heading in the opposite direction. More and more streaming services with libraries they don't license/share are coming online, pushing folks to subscribe to additional services.

At some point, the costs may rival the old-time cable subscriptions. Is it worth it, or should we just cut our losses and limit subscriptions to the stuff with the new/shiny and all the older stuff just becomes obscure?

Or, perhaps, does this give folks more incentive to actually buy physical media so it can't be taken away if/when various streaming services/content providers have a spat?

Or will more folks just torrent their media (with the same result) as some already do?
Type Theory and Formal Proof: An Introduction
Sort of? they feel like different beasts, and both literally and functionally are different beasts.

It feels very very different than a mechanical key switch, to the extent that I love Model M's, but I'm generally meh about mechanical key switches (not enough auditory or physical feedback), a really good rubber dome keyboard is preferable to me over a mechanical key switch keyboard.

With a Model M, I type less harshly than on any other kind of keyboard, and thats because the keyboard gives me an auditory and physical feedback as soon as the keypress registers (back pressure rises right up to the trigger point, then it drops again after and then rises again right to the bottom out point). I regularly will bottom out a mechanical keyswitch keyboard, I never do on a Model M, and only occasionally do so on a rubber dome (it depends on the keyboard).

I've used enough mechanical key switch keyboard that have issues with key switches binding up, that I dont care for them, I shouldnt need to worry about lubricating my keyboard ;-)

On the other hand, procedural macros are the big guns and as such if you aim them wrong you are going to blow both feet off. A declarative macro is only at worst going to spew nonsense into your post-processed source where it was used - which the Rust tools are quite happy to show you - but a sufficiently bad proc macro could cause unlimited mayhem with no diagnostics available. I don't know if somebody is collecting the worst mistakes they've seen with proc macros, but m-ou-se's nightly-crimes! shows what sort of insanity is possible.

I can certainly agree that it can sound dystopian. Let's talk about how to make sure it's net positive! How do we built things better, where do we improve, what are the weaknesses?

To me the rise of cryptocurrencies is a given -- so the role of being curious is about shaping what it becomes, rather than deny their impending dominance. (Not putting words in your mouth, if anything this framing comes from my own bias).

Does that come through? To use a tired analogy, pretend it's 1950: I would love to talk about the possibilities of computers, good or bad. Though nascent, I believe computers are here to stay, and will be a bigger part of our lives, like it or not. I'm curious about our role in shaping those possibilities. When people say they don't want to talk about computers or think they're stupid does nothing to change that inevitability.

Well, I didn't mean to minimize it exactly, just that mass de-industrialization and 3rd world status is probably going too far.

One of the hallmarks of extremism is the view you refer to that "no cost is too high". Sometimes this is about boosting the general welfare, but more often it is about a (perceived or real) threat. If every win by the right is a slippery slope to fascism, deplatforming becomes easily justified. And if every win by the left is a slippery slope to communism, it becomes easier to tolerate public undermining of the traditional checks on power, that depend on public support to be effective, like elections / the courts / legislature / (even the same side) media, etc.

The problem is as extremism increases, the threat to the other party becomes, increasingly, real. And the case for further authoritarian measures or undermining the existing system becomes more logical.

I have two issues with this accelerationist scenario. One is that the escalation is inevitably bi-directional in the end, and it is difficult to predict which faction (if any) will win, only that they are more likely to be authoritarian.

The second is that I don't see crisis as something that necessarily leads eventually to positive reforms. I think it is fully possible to have a crisis, then have things be poorly functioning for quite some time. Crisis aided the Soviet Union's fall but it also aided its rise.

In the US, the process of escalation seems to be well on its way, and to me seems more likely to lead to crisis in the medium term than incremental reforms (in any direction).

Yes, I personally knew him.

Yes, he was a first responder and I saw him leave a number of times to respond to calls for first responders. Given the area we were in, some of these calls certainly would have been for cars hitting deer.

Yes, I saw the spear in the vehicle he took to those calls.

I do know from others in his family that he sometimes acquired a roadkill permit & brought back a deer carcass.

I do concede that this guy was fond of telling tall tales so he might have embellished a bit, but nothing seemed terribly implausible about this story to me at the time. As nothing of import hinges on its veracity, I think it's fine to categorize this under "quite probably true" and let it be. =)
But aren't all problems just due to a lack of technology? Not enough food? Invent agriculture. Or invent the spear and the sandal so you can hunt further afield.

Feelings wheel feelings wheel feelings wheel feelings wheel feelings wheel feelings wheel feelings wheel

The groupings of the finest emotions within the 2nd group are immensely helpful... for instance, "successful" and "confident" are in the proud category. And to feel successful, first trust in your own ability, then work for others and when they trust in your abilities too, you are successful.

Respected and valued are in the same subcategory. To feel respected, first value something, and if you can get an employee to value the same thing, then they truly respect you.

On the anger side, disrespected and ridiculed are in the same subcategory, and they are similar, but disrespected is when someone devalues your orders, and ridiculed is when they make fun of your form(body).

On the sad side, isolated and abandoned are grouped, isolated is when you're sad for being taken out of something(a group or a feeling), and abandoned is when you and the rest remain, but a person leaves it.

I've been reprocessing my whole life with finer emotional granularity, and I recommend it, highly so!

The size of an x-ray grows with power for two reasons: higher voltages require much more insulation, and higher energies require much more shielding.
In medical contexts shielding is the big issue. I forget the exact figures but the mass attenuation coefficient for large energy is something like Z/E^3, so a dental x-ray at 15 kev will has much less radiation leakage than a chest x-ray at 150 kev. (Note that the beam is not monochromatic and the 1000x change in attenuation passes through an exponential decay relation so it is not a simple relation, but you need a lot of lead to keep the x-ray tech safe).
Moreover the lack of logging caused the last few years' massive, out of control wildfires.

If it's visible, it's capturable, it's simply a matter of how obfuscated it is and how much effort you want to spend capturing it. In highly dynamic web apps these days, it could be simple as a right click or as complex as figuring out their rendering system, source data stream, generated key handshake to verify it's the script accessing the data and not a person, and so on. I see this sort of trash a lot more than I care to.
Ask HN: How can I improve my reading comprehension as a person who has dyslexia?
A little context to come along with my question.

Since i graduated Greek high school i started reading books. I started wanting and needing to learn and read books. I discovered that history is not just a meaningless course that tortures you with details of the past: names, dates, locations, who f* who, who killed who etc. I discovered the beauty of books and more precises the beauty of words and the meaning behind them.

As a person who has dyslexia school didn't provide me anything other than loathing for the subjects that i truly admire right now. It taught me how to fear learning and not how to learn. That fear, to this day, is still here with me. For instance, right now i want to study for my Digital Design course but every time i think about it my body fills with fear and then i'm searching for something else to procrastinate on (like writing this ASK HN thread).

A while ago, made the decision that, whatever i do with my life, i want learning, reading books and writing to be a fundamental part of my life, of my identity. I can't think how my life would be without them. Like it used to be. I lament about the fact that i lost so many years not reading and learning, instead i've developing social media addiction and crippling fear of even trying anything i want.
