While I think the comment is probably not saying anything worthwhile, let's not pretend that the scientists' recommendations were reached impartially around Covid on any consistent basis, starting at least with when the WHO concealed information about covid in early 2020.
Looking on your improper usage of word perfect, that reminds me, that my English is not as native and precise. But I actually meant, that:

NONE of vaccination pushers can(because they have no idea how to do that) explain deaths among people who had vaccines. And this was written in relation to garbage data that @op posted.

>>>This is neither unexpected nor reason to think vaccines are not a good idea.

No, I have exactly the opposite look on this and my opinion is that mass vaccination (of covid) is a terrible idea - not as much idea per se, but the way how it is executed. Because it is never a good idea, when people are fooled and promised a cure of covid, if that is not what is going to happen. We are seeing globally in different countries rise of covid cases, regardless if they have full or partial vactination statuss. So far there is better situation only where there has been no vaccination, as it might sound too cynical, but old and vulnerable have died(and they are dying when vaccinated anyway) and healthy and survivors have acquired long lasting covid immunity, that at this point is better than what vaccinated people have.

As for mentioning Nirvana fallacy, this really explains what vaccination pushers are doing, because nothing of what has been done with covid situation is realistic. Dude, when my fellow countrymen were under lockdown, and were fined, because they went out of their house and were outside having a smoke alone in their own property(!), some of the bureaucrats(or as some call them - guest workers, because they are working for EU and not for their country) were flying to Switzerland to buy watch(and they were not fined for nonessential flight!!!) and this is the way, how spread of covid was happening, getting across the borders new mutations of covid. Vaccination against this type of behavior is impossible. Be real - existing vaccines are already less efficient against covid delta and new variants, than those who has gained natural immunity, that has been acquired by recovering from covid.

I will bet dollars to pesos that if Starlink fails to provide the service, the cause will be government corruption.

Therefore the government is warning people of the potential for them to get hurt because the government failed to get the shakedown that they're hoping for.

Excuse me if I fail to see said government as being in the right. Now you may think I'm just being cynical. But according to https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/india nearly 90% OF THEIR OWN CITIZENS think that government corruption is a big problem in India. I just think that the general public knows what they are talking about here.
I don’t really see why that’s true, unless you consider companies’ pitches to investors to be “selling” something. Silicon Valley isn’t really known for the business model of taking money for preorders.
If it is a pseudo RNG then you can try a autogressive seq2seq model and see how it is doing.

If it is a true RNG, then good luck, it would be unpredictable by definition.
Thanks, I did get the C, Python, and Scheme RVM's to work. I just didn't realize that (define (f x) ...) didn't work as I was used to. I didn't get JS working because it required a JS build tool that I didn't have installed. I didn't pursue it as I don't use JS much.

Can I ask how long "gsi rsc.scm..." took in your example? It ran for around an hour when I tried it with python output. I then stopped it and compiled rsc.scm with gsc and that took just a fraction of a second to build the repl's.

Do you have particular applications in mind for Ribbit? I see some general mentions of running it in browsers and email clients, but those tend to have JS already available.

Finally, I'm wondering if you think that functional-style programming (avoiding mutation) inherently uses more ram than a more mutation-heavy style. I'm asking because Micropython is fairly usable with 32k of ram and has been shoehorned into 16k (BBC micro:bit v1), but Hedgehog and apparently Ribbit both want around 200k. Hedgehog relies on bytecode and an offline AOT compiler but Micropython has a REPL.
I was going to say, that seems like an "easy" second step once you get your ML to output hard numbers -- tack on ranges and confidence intervals.
Ask HN: How do you take care of your eyes?
My eyes hurt when I look at the computer for short durations. My eyes are fatigued after a day of work. I think I'm okay when reading books. Not sure if its screen brightness or what. Seems to hurt no matter the brightness. I bought some cheap blue light blocking glasses. They take the edge but don't prevent fatigue later in the day.

I figure this is a common problem among devs. So, whats your eye care ritual?
I don’t work in the field, but I was curious too and found the Siemens product offerings: https://new.siemens.com/global/en/products/automation/pc-bas...

Looks like they’re hardened to run continuously, reduce potential causes for maintenance, resist vibrations, and run in ambient temperatures up to 55ºC. You can also find variants certified for use in marine shipping scenarios.
It saves the page to local disk transformed to a markdown file. I've tried it and it doesn't download images though, it just generates links to the online image.

If you don't mind markdown, for a good clipper I'd recommend the one from TagSpaces. It can save the page into Firefox one-file .mhtml format or plain .html, and it comes with a "simplified page" option to remove navigation.

Because Starlink has no physical infrastructure there and no plans to set it up.

You can access a website without that website being somehow licensed to “operate” in your country. You should be able to talk to Starlink equipment (which is in space and outside of India’s jurisdiction) without them being licensed in India.

A supermarket could refuse to sell you something unless you pay in Mario coins, but I beleive a restaurant is forced to accept your dollars to settle the bill you incurred for the food, and can't insist you pay your bill in Fallout Bottlecaps. Is this right?
Yeah this should be linked in the top comment because I couldn't really grasp what Polis was even for by going to the link on this topic. This article really does a great job of clearing up its purpose and benefits. Thanks a lot for linking this!
Polynesians make fabric from trees so this isn’t very surprising to me
no - because machine data of the deal is not complete, therefore cannot be represented in the models. As any computer-vision researcher knows, the code sometimes does not see what is "obvious" to almost any person.
YouTube's video player (almost the entire rest of the site is beyond crap, don't get me wrong! I'm just talking about the watching experience) (assuming you have an ad-blocker, which you obviously should). Plenty of other video players have some of these features, but YouTube has almost everything.

- click to pause

- double-click to fullscreen

- customisable captions

- speed controls

- sensible keyboard shortcuts for practically everything (press ? to see them all)

- theatre mode

- picture-in-picture

- loop (on the right-click menu)

- dark theme

- all settings are saved and synced across multiple tabs (with the irritating exception of video speed, but that can be fixed with a browser extension)

- hover to preview

- drag to seek

- video chapters

- clear and subtle indication of video buffering

- auto-resume when you come back to a video after navigating away

- easy and obvious translation of all controls to live-streams and "premieres"

- pretty animations and obvious cursor changes that make it really obvious what you're doing (looking at you, Twitch)

- you can scroll in fullscreen

- "instant" page navigation that never gets out of sync with itself

- 4K support

- HDR support (not very good, but still)

- 60+FPS support

- 360° support

- all of Google's CDN resources behind it so it never lags

- excellent video quality detection that never picks an unnecessarily low-quality option when my computer could handle better, nor a too-high one that my connection can't manage
Conspiracy, or conspiracy theory?

Sick of seeing "educated" communities conflate the two.

> In a vacuum this isn't true: diseases will select to be more transmissible, that can mean less deadly, but not always, think HIV.

Is there any evidence of diseases that have selected to be less deadly, aside from by killing all of its especially vulnerable hosts? As far as I can tell, this is naive optimism: the selection pressure for not killing your host is irrelevant if they're only going to be infected for a week or two anyway, and basically every mutation that's going to increase transmissibility is likely to be negative (increased viral load in infectious agents, immune escape, etc.).

HIV and coronaviruses are completely different and can't be compared.

HIV is clinically a mild virus and doesn't cause any severe symptoms by itself. It is only when HIV becomes AIDS that it is dangerous, but then again, the symptoms are not caused by HIV/AIDS itself, but by the lack of immune cells caused by AIDS. You could have HIV forever and not even notice it if you were in a vacuum as you say :)

We can't know how severe Omicron will be, but let's hope it just becomes a cold. As OP said, the most enduring parasites (viruses are categorically parasites), are the ones that don't kill their hosts. This is not only true for viruses, but all kinds of parasites.
The context of the subthread was not being able to do it in EU/Sweden, where $320k/year incomes are less common.
Competition and transparency cures all market woes.
The problem is with the order amount. $99 is a lot of money (Google pegs it at 7.4k INR) and anyways its a large sum even for an American with low income. The problem with pre-orders is the amount of money that gets locked. The government has to enforce its regulations via the proper channels and doesn't want to be in a position where they ask Space-X to refund the money whereupon they might sue and cause trouble at international levels. Informing the people that they haven't received their license is okay I think as it gives the government breathing room to have the same rules for everyone since they can always justify by saying "we told you so" and I think that's fair.

Secondly, the Indian government is under no obligation to deal with free-trade nonsense here. Space-X cannot and does not employ any Indians, so giving them an operators license and access to consumer base without actually being able to create jobs or deep expertise locally makes zero sense. In such deals, in the end, the only technological expertise that flows is crappy admin jobs and frankly no country should take such a deal.
I think we agree on a base point of personal risk assessment. With that in mind, some people jaywalk, some take extra minute to get to a crossing. Some run across, some double check both sides. Some wear black pants and leather jacket at night, some have reflective strips. And it's all good. We share the old adage that "whoever drives faster than me is a maniac whoever drives slower is an idiot" - but most of us understand when pressed that different people have different risk acceptance in their life and that's ok.

The Thing that makes covid tricky is which actions am I making for myself vs others. Safety belt and helmet are largely for myself (but still enforced in many places due to agreed societal cost that goes beyond Individual). Mask, we don't have common universal agreement to yet. (this is not to say I don't have am opinion on it, but I understand looking around that while mainstream it's not universal).

So while I think we have agreement in framework, we may disagree on personal implementation. Mostly, I don't know that I agree with "at some point you have to let terror go". This ain't over yet, may never be over, so some mitigation steps may never be over, is the sobering world to raise offspring Into. Alberta took foot off the brake for just a little while and next thing they were begging other provinces for ICU spots. And there's a whole conplicated interlocked system of individual causes and effects rather than some simple binary rule that have rise to that reality.
Yep, it's great. But they did do a lot of work to get system services and privileged Google Apps to behave in SELinux.

Violence becomes inevitable... because people are can't call black people subhuman in public without being censured?

That's one hell of a take.
This is a great question. I've been using Polis for maybe 5 years.

The "pass" is a catch-all for many things[1], including "rejecting a premise". It's non-obvious in the current interface, but there's room for coaching/learning how to engage with "complex/mixed" statements. For example, statements you encounter that conflict with your own emotional or factual sensibilities, which you're reluctant to respond to in a simple way (with agree/disagree). In this case, users can just "pass" on that statement, and immediately go below and submit a new "corrected" statement, or alternatively divide that one statement into a few separate ones, that can be reacted to more authentically.

That way, you're not forced to weigh in on things you find to be leading statements or overly simplistic. And the pool of statements for everyone becomes ever-more-nuanced through these sorts of interactions, and the map of the sentimental landscape becomes more high-resolution :)

What happened with the ConstitutionDAO?

I'm not paying too much attention, but I think they failed in their objective and give back the money, but the transactions fee eat a lot of it. I classified it like a bad idea or a bad implementation, but not an scam.

I had a similar experience with parentheses.
If the explanation is incredibly poor, why is this issue still open: https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/20718
That's quite a difference than compared to most, if not all, european countries. There are certain exceptions for outside.of borders payments, but even then local and legal currency has to be accounted. Retail no way.
The money isn't "locked" if the deposit is fully refundable at any time, with the only thing you lose being your place in line. And how is free trade "nonsense"? Do you think protectionism is a good thing?
Why should 2021 be different than any other year. I cannot see a reason to avoid using the semicolon. It is part of proper expression - it's useful, available and innocent.
I see a lot of red flags here. They claim it’s “over-engineered”, but it looks like the opposite.

The cheaping out:

1) 2 layer board with two modules (one of them a DIY arduino board). Given the price tag they could have spent $2 in going 4 layers and add some ground planes.

2) Charging extra for N-key rollover? Seriously? Who though that would look good?

3) No cable?

The overspending:

1) Fully machined two part case. There’s a LOT of excess everywhere. More weight doesn’t make thins stronger. There were easier ways to build a case like that.

2) Every single piece aside from the switches seems to be fully custom made. “Custom” is only good if it brings value, for a lot of the pieces involved there seems to be little if any improvement.

3) from the pictures it looks like they surface finished the insides of they case, and even the support plate. Why would I care to add a brushed look to an internal part?
Some countries have chosen the other way: they left the vaccination up to people, and now nobody can take part in everyday life because of lockdowns.
It happens different amounts in different countries. And the difference matters. Government corruption is a major drag on the economy. And therefore less corrupt countries experience compounding growth that helps them become rich countries.
I am a non-people manager, dual IC / team lead who spends about 20% of my time supervising and helping a few ICs plan and execute their projects. Having some Venters or Ranters or Disasters in my weekly project meetings would be interesting. But what I actually get is mostly relentlessly slow, underwhelming progress.

I really want to shake some of these people by the shoulders and ask what on earth they were doing for last week's 40 hours when the items they reported progress on seem like they'd take 10-20% of that at most.
If you were in Sweden you’d be making $120k and your wife $50k. Your marginal tax rate would be about 70%. You’d have a net worth of say $200k, but that would be tied up in your apartment/house.

A net worth of $2.2m is pretty much unheard of here. The only people I know with that kind of money are founders who successfully exited their startups.
Actually, no. I live in a big city. We're apparently all just free-wheeling, death-defying risk-takers here. YOLO.

But you make an excellent point: the average NYC citizen probably takes bigger risks crossing the street on a daily basis than she would by going un-masked.

The buyer might not realise about the annoying neighbour (unless the most annoying thing about the neighbour is the mess they leave everywhere) but will definitely pick up on things that Zillow's algorithm doesn't.
>But it should still be allowed to question the solutions people claim to have to those problems.

Why should we be having social discussions about whether or not genocide against a particular out-group is acceptable? Would the proposition that slaughtering an out-group be a good faith discourse about the best path forward for society? If not, why should we have that discussion at the cost of other discussions?
That's fantastic news because type 1 diabetes is effectively a genetic disease.

Meanwhile type 2 diabetes and obesity cannot be cured because it is caused by excess glucose from eating too many carbs and avoiding carbs is against the American heart association guidelines. Maybe ignoring the AHA is the cure...
While google search is the best search engine, I’d like to see research on what % of the large google search pie piece is simply non-tech savvy people who have never changed the default.

As an example, my folks think google search is the browser and vice versa. They have no idea what a browser is (despite having 2 installed and on the taskbar). They don’t realise the difference between typing a url and searching in that box. And frankly they don’t care.

I have a few minor gripes:

1. Click (pause) and double click (full screen) interfere with each other. I don't really want pause to have more of a delay than it already has, but that's the only way to allow a non-pause double click.

2. I'd prefer if spacebar paused unconditionally. When focus is on other controls, it activates those instead, which I understand for a11y, but it's a bit annoying when other players do grab every space for pause.

3. I think < and > used to nudge by a single frame (when paused) but no longer do?

It’s in any Governments interest to vet new technology or services from multinational corporations before they are allowed to take money from its citizenry. SpaceX is not Governed by Indian law; so it’s pretty reasonable for them to be extra conservative when dealing with new kinds of services.
Sequence risk matters the most in the first decade. So long as you have a backup plan where you can restart working, even at reduced rates, then you can protect yourself against sequence risk. Older and in an economic downturn means that finding work could be difficult, so one would probably need to keep the backup plan “warm”: for example continuing to do a day or two of consulting work or a non-technical role, preferably in an industry that is counter-cyclical.
In that case, it seems the literati are opting to curtail their own literacy; recent languages trend toward reducing them: Python, Ruby, Rust.
In the real world, I have friends who couldn't get enough tickets for me to go see Hamilton with them, or even a better example, for us all to go to Playa Del Fuego (US east coast mini burning man), who then later ended up giving me their tickets.

This seems like "what decent people do". "Social intelligence" might not have been the best word but the point is that people-who-function-society, people with actual friendships, make equality in those friendships important. These would be normal people with normal social abilities/intelligence/whatever.

Remember the point of the original is your friend calls you to say "you're coming to the show 'cause we couldn't get tickets" with no alternate plans/apologies explanations etc. And test was a "rational" person was supposed to see this an event having no impact on the friendship. I think it's someone with moderate social skills that this isn't the way things work and it seems like your example demonstrates. But oppositely, the people chiming in to say "what's the problem, things happen that way" likely just aren't tuned in this stuff.

Edit: I'll admit I mostly chose the term "social intelligence" to wave in the face of the HN fans of things like the anti-social "logic" of this study, since these types really value their competence and they tend to be very incompetent at the skill of being-a-decent-person, which might a better synonym for "social intelligence".
I wonder how many of the wrong body part surgeries use the surgical checklist developed by The Joint Commission, Dr. Atul Gawande, and others: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMsa0810119.

I also wonder if the list creators have considered wrong body part surgeries as particularly problematic. Hard to tell from the checklist.
