>But then 100 years ago when there was no mass shared culture like tv (or maybe there was?) we seemed to not have the same problems, so maybe there is something else at play.

I would say 100 years ago shared culture came from religion, neighbors, and the national conversations one would read about in the news. Religion is increasingly not a part of people's lives be. We still have national conversations through the media, but there too there are so many outlets you can choose a specific narrative that appeals to you and only listen to that. Neighbors are not quite as close as they once were-- the idea of borrowing a cup of sugar from my neighbors sounds crazy in modern times.

A piece of advice I was given once and try to remember to follow is to, when commenting online, think "does this comment seem wrong if read out of context".

For example you wouldn't have had to come back to explain the context of your comment if your "I strongly doubt anything will come of this." had ended with "..come of this in discovery."

Thank you. I read that horribly wrong. That is a relief.
except thats it’s curiously well timed for this news to drop at the beginning of holiday shopping, like an advertisement, or possibly, this is pure marketing. nso and apple are partners. apple leaves holes, nso exploit, said holes.

They could run a variety of them under the same brand umbrella. When I was a kid, there were small chains of clothing stores with names like Simply Six and Max 10, all run by the same company (oddly enough, KinderCare).

Because they spread to the rest of the population. I don’t understand how, two years into the pandemic people are still evaluating whether we should vaccinate people based only off the risk to themselves.

Yeah, there’s three or four items I’ve been meaning to buy for about half a year that haven’t come back. Sometimes I’ll get the stock notification but it will disappear quickly, and they don’t let you place pickup orders for items with less than 5 units in stock.

We are at the point in British Columbia where this no longer the case. Doesn't matter if it's a quasi-ghost town in the deep interior of this province with zero economy. It's still priced beyond a working class salary.
We're probably headed for a recession. The pandemic showed me that most of my consumption was driven by anxiety and my guess is that other people are starting to realize the same thing. The current economy can not survive without anxiety driven consumption and once consumption growth starts to stall the rest of the economy will follow. But I could be wrong. [1]

Ok normally I’d just let something like this go but I just have to pull my hair out when I see a comment like this.

The attack surface of software as complicated as a modern operating system (iOS or MacOS, etc.) is simply too large to lockdown without dramatically hurting the user experience (assuming you could actually achieve a lockdown in the first place!!).

Let’s, just for a second, propose that apple went full Monty and locked the whole shebang down with the kind of tech they’d need to resist NSO. That’s more custom silicon, signed binaries everywhere, even fewer per app permissions, literally treating any piece of software running on the device as a potential threat vector even more than they already do. What would this get you?

The BoM cost would go up, a lot. The cost of writing software would go up, a lot. And perhaps worst of all: it would only raise the cost of a chain of exploits, not eradicate it.

Right now a chain of exploits is ~$5M on iOS. What if it was $50M? Would that actually stop a nation state?

I’m sorry but there’s no world where Apple can make perfect security.

Finally, the cost of this lawsuit is a drop in the ocean compared to what they already spend trying to secure the software and hardware in iOS devices.
Slightly off topic: The New Yorker had a really interesting article about dollar stores and how their presence can potentially harm communities rather than help.

So I love linux. Particularly, as a desktop system, I like Arch and derivatives of it, mainly for the pacman package manager and the Arch user repository.

But I have trouble finding packages, and I hate to compile. So I use Debian instead.

I would rather just use a distro that isn't ideal for me than start using flatpak and snap and all this other stuff. I really don't like how fragmented packaging is in the Linux world, but I will not use these prepackaged containers that have all dependencies included. They're worse.

Yes some Dollar Tree stores have refrigerated and freezer sections.
They are another host to store, mutate and retransmit
We have thereputics and understand how to treat it. Also younger people are getting sicker.
You're right, my phrasing was inaccurate.

The intent was: Python does not perform type checking based on annotations (e.g. Protocols as discussed in the article) when it starts.

Unfortunately PyCharm's analyzer is pretty fundamentally oriented towards failing open, rather than closed.

For decorators, PyCharm often infers whether or not a decorator changes a signature. However, it does this inconsistently (and it may be backed by a specific list of supported decorators by name/module, I'm not sure). When it can't tell what a decorator does, it doesn't try to validate calls to decorated functions, which is kind of a bummer. What I'd really like is a way to tell the IDE that unrecognized/unparseable decorators should be assumed not to emit functions with a different signature; that would be wrong sometimes, but useful in what is for me the most common case.
Oh, that's way better for sure! Thanks for the explanation

It's a failure of a lot of things, but ultimately a failure to create a product desirable to anybody not interested in flinging shit.
> China has routinely been opaque, blocking investigations over all sorts of things. I don't like it either but I think it's premature to use it as evidence of malice on China's part.

China (and everyone else) doesn't get to have their cake an eat it too. They want to be opaque as national policy, that's their prerogative, but they don't get to do so and expect positive inference regarding what is behind the curtain.

In other words, assuming the worst plausible scenario is the only, or at least a, rational interpretation of possibilities against a policy of intentional opacity.

The article is not "proving vaccines work", it's explaining how some statistics presented in news or social media might be misleading.

Also: no, we can't stop collecting evidence supporting the efficacy of vaccines, because then the anti-vaxxers will scream blue bloody murder about how "there's no evidence."

I agree. The author seems to know quite a bit about Go and GCs, but doesn't seem to have much experience with Java. As a Java performance engineer, it sounds like he is comparing Go to how he thinks Java works based on what he's read about it.
Closest known relatives of virus behind COVID-19 found in Laos

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02596-2

The NIAID claimed that it didn't fund research into BANAL-52 and similar. "the closest known relatives of SARS-CoV-2 . . . were not studied under the EcoHealth Alliance grant"

https://www.niaid.nih.gov/diseases-conditions/coronavirus-ba...

However, that was recently revealed to be extremely unlikely, since bat coronavirus samples were in fact collected from Laos, where BANAL-52 was located. Even more suspiciously, the Laos genetic samples disappeared from the WIV database in late 2019.

Frat bros are together because of a shared space. It's how many of them stay friends 5 years down the line that would be relevant here. Also I would say drinking together is something to do, being able to be sober with others is a undervalued skill.
Or a good cover for the leakers
Who is “they”, and where were “they” pushing videos? This isn’t Reddit. If you’re going to make outrageous claims like that, you should be prepared to back them up.
Maybe because, even if you are not vaccinated, you have less chance of catching covid if everyone around you is.
(b) is really only applicable in countries where universal healthcare is nonexistent.
Still on YouTube, according to the article.

Also according to the article, Lush is saying that social media consumption and Lush's brand are in direct conflict, whereas maybe other brands don't have such a strong conflict with social media consumption.
I'm simply stating a fact about the forum in the same spirit of parent's comment about our country. Any snark you detect is your implicit bias.
So are vaccinated individuals.
What? Unless I'm mistaken, There is no GOF underground with Dasczak, it's very above ground (to be clear, the NIH didn't fund GOF on SARS-Cov2, just on... adjacent viruses). Don't know if Fauci is covering it up, but he certainly hasn't stepped forward to condemn Dasczak, even though the NIH already has condemned EcoHealthAllicance.

It's also kind of insane that Dasczak was a lead signatory to the "this is not a lab leak" opinion piece without disclosing a MAJOR conflict of interest. He should have stayed out of it.
It really seems like it's safe to say that a fully vaccinated person's risk of dying from covid is low enough where based on the pre-2020 accepted societal standards for risk there should be next to no behavior modification expected.
Vaccinated people spread to the rest of the population as well. Don't know why you think vaccination prevents people from spreading COVID-19.
> snappy 1 word reduction is generally not a very good idea. It just leads politicization

'Sound byte' reductive labels seem to be a symptom, not a cause, of political tribalism. Or they are both side effects of attention driven add-supported platforms, where the degenerate strategy for attention is outrage. Or they're all mutually reinforcing.

I want to live in the world where labels still have value. But that will require a cultural shift back to people listening to each other. "Supply and demand" is a simple label, but we can still say it and unpack all the ways it's manipulated. We just need to let words be stepping stones and not lines in the sand.

Anyway, that's getting very meta and further from a chat on feudalism. Insights I'd love to hear from a historian include: How much worse was serfdom than current wage slavery? How much of that was a function of technology? What alternative (better?) systems existed at the same technology level? What forces led to feudalism being replaced? Do they have contemporary analogues that can now help us reduce wealth inequality and protect the middle class?

Asking just because it sounds interesting. Not trying to pigeon hole your politics OR have you write my undergrad history paper. Cheers.
The denominator of the death rate is not COVID cases, it is total population. If the number of COVID cases drops, even if mortality remains constant, then the death rate will also see a concomitant drop. When compared to a graph of the daily cases, the pattern in the parent post essentially matches.
Do you know why they all left? I'm curious, and the answer might inform your decision. Are they getting different jobs in the same field? Are they taking up woodworking? What are they doing and why?
std::ostringstream will certainly allocate its buffer on the heap. When you call the str() method to retrieve the final result, it will have to make another copy. So you will always have an extra allocation.

Note that std::format still returns a std::string (which might allocate memory, depending on the size of the string), but that doesn't matter if it is going to be moved anyways.

If you want to write into an existing buffer, you can use std::format_to_n as a modern replacement for snprintf.
Pretty much this. If the science and deaths aren't compelling enough, nothing will be.
> they are typically smaller quantities at a much higher price per unit

I think that's true throughout most of the country, but in NYC I actually think Dollar Tree is a fairly good deal. They sell the same little frozen pizzas (that I'm addicted to for some reason) as the C-Town a block away from me, but for half the price. I think that is largely because NYC is ridiculously overpriced to live in.
Basically the entire segment: https://cars.usnews.com/cars-trucks/suvs-best-gas-mileage

Show HN: Tamagui – React design systems optimized for native and web
All fair, and I didn't mean that to be 'adversarial'. It was just bizarre in that, I have never seen someone speak so positively about cocaine lol. I was pointing out is I think, when talking about the pros, it might be worth mentioning the cons for some stuff
> The assumption that the content of the video had something do do with why it was broadcast may not be reasonable

Well, the broadcasted video mentioned the name of one of the news anchors on one of the affected channels, and the first broadcast attempt even interrupted that channel's news show. So I think the video was made specifically for this hack. It's not like there was a YouTube for them to go to and search for weird shit on.
Hey HN, author of Tamagui here.

I've been pursuing something like Tamagui for many years now, this is technically my 3rd or 4th iteration on a compile-time optimized UI kit depending on how you count.

The motivation is simple: build apps with less code.

In react to do this today you have to sacrifice a lot: responsive design, themes, and general speed. None of the cross-platform UI kits do media queries or themes without resorting to JS, which hampers performance. Further, if you want a more modern API for themes, typed inline styles, media queries, etc, you sacrifice more performance. Our benchmarks[0] comparing Dripsy and NativeBase show 3-10x speed improvements, and that's not comparing stuff like media queries and themes which should be even more favorable.

Tamagui does all this with an optimizing compiler that lets you keep all the slick features without sacrificing performance. The compiler pulls out even inline JS logic into CSS on the web, or StyleSheet.create on native. It even flattens View/Text into div/span.

All that performance and platform-optimized-behavior makes a big difference, especially when building apps as apps tend to render many more components! It's also the only cross-platform UI Kit to support SSR.

Happy to answer any questions here!

There's actually a ton of room for continued improvement, and I'd love to set up some sort of sponsorship to keep realizing this. I think the current state of React is that it's tremendously powerful and well-designed, but actually releasing an app that runs on web + native is still a near-Everest type mountain to climb, and I hope to continue to change that.

I don't know the answer to this, but how does the total viral shed of a unvaccinated child compare to a vaccinated 60+? Also the viral shed of children compared by vaccine status.

If it turns out the answer is lower and similar respectively, then it would seem vaccination of children makes little difference in the grand scheme.

The company also owns the Family Dollar chain and has been converting some stores into dual brands. Those conversions might increase as it gives the company a way to maintain both brands but not be limited by the $1 (or $1.25) price point.
I think this is highly variable between stores. When I lived in Dallas, the line to check out at Dollar Tree was ridiculous, but the one I live near in Brooklyn typically has multiple lines with a few cashiers working. I don't think I've ever waited more than 15 minutes, and typically I wait less than five.
I think it's because it's vanishingly rare that someone actually wants to see the world burn to the extent that they're willing to spend years of personal effort to that end to enact a plan that will kill them and everyone they know and love.

If it ever becomes possible to achieve personal or political gain through the development of bioweapons I suspect we are in extremely deep trouble.

How about all the creatures that are killed by harvesting machines when wheat, corn, or soy is being harvested... I imagine probably the number of small creatures that are destroyed are probably on par with the number of crustacea harvested each year.
Because Covid seems to be exceptionally efficient at killing those who are already sick. It's somewhat survivorship bias... Now that we have more effective means of protecting the at-risk (and plenty of them already died), the mortality rate is going down since the mix of people getting sick includes more healthy people as a %.
It's a bit of the "look, it's not the next unit up," but it's also a bit of a tongue in cheek "this last 9/10th of a cent is the government collecting tax." It's no longer really true, since taxes make up much more than 1 cent of the cost of fuel, but it's stuck around as a reminder anyway.
