IT people are very specific in their terms and biology and medicine terms are not as specific. I feel, that this is the main issue when talking about medicine, that terms are different. Doctors are not gods, they can't save everyone - essentially you should avoid ANY situation, where you are dependant on doctor(besides, they make err themselves, too and can kill completelly healthy person with their decisions - stuff just happens...) and that is the job of your immunity. Your overall immunity is more complicated, than antibodies against covid and where covid vaccination was meant to be quick and dirty and deal with covid quickly(before it starts to mutate) - that did not happen.

Good immunity has main jobs:

1. repel and quickly eliminate invaders(which is general common understanding of what immunity means)

2. realize, when the battle is lost and SURRENDER AND/OR COEXIST with infection and hope, that infection is as "sensible" and does not kill host

Natural immunity in medicine does not mean, that organism can't be infected, but how it can deal with infection AND at the same time not to cause organism to die.

So, with great immunity YOU CAN STILL GET INFECTED AND SPREAD INFECTION!!! This is what vaccination pushers don't understand.

Besides, the natural IMMUNITY here IS NOT A CONCERN OF OTHERS and should not be, but only about host organism. In the small world of genes(as a part of immunity) and viruses there simply is no understanding of the outside world and other hosts.

We all are unique - your immunity will differ from immunity of other people in an unique way. There is no way to make them all the same. That is the main mechanism of survival, where working immunity is bare minimum to survive and those who does not have it are meant to die. When you get older, your immunity gets weaker. This is the way.
I fail to see a downside.
I submit R is easily the most misunderstood language among programmers.

And it's not just under the hood where it's very lisp like. Heck you can write it with an almost lisp notation if you really wanted to, `+`(1, 2), and the syntax is incredibly pliable. I'm a big fan of lisp and I'd argue it's one dialect of lisp I actually get to use.
This is when in my minds eye flashed some sort of trailer for an as-of-yet un-produced Turkish adaption of The Wolf of Wall Street, hilarious hijinks on a never before seen scale centered around Erdogan as the surprisingly likable protagonist.
> However I think where the hubris lay is in how they thought they could leapfrog all the way to an automated solution before building a competency as a house-flipping company.

In my mind this is the problem with consultants who try to automate processes. It’s really difficult (maybe even impossible?) to successfully write a program to make a computer do $thing if you don’t understand the intricacies of how to do $thing manually.
I deeply miss my iPhone 5. Small, light, pleasingly minimal. I'm so glad they released the new mini models.
From what I understand, there's no way to predict the pros and cons of the original antigenic sin. You will be biased against the strain you first receive, either as a vaccine or by catching the virus itself.

What we don't know is which of these strains 20 years from now will make a resurgence. When that happens, you will be lucky if it's the strain closest to the first strain you caught or received a vaccine for, and unlucky if it isn't.

Finally, I understand that vaccines for specific strains still work, but they won't work as well for mutations of their strains and might not get you immunity for as long.
Well the LED light I plan to build eventually would use around 560 watts on it's highest setting. Then I would plan my battery storage according to that max number and the max number of hours I would estimate I need to run it at that power. I haven't done the math yet. I don't expect I could completely cover my needs for calories at such a small scale of one light but it could very effectively grow things like peppers and other crops that have really gone up in cost at the grocery store. If done right a light like that could easily grow in a 5'/5' space with things like peppers on the top and more shaded plants below. The goal would be reduce my dependency of the supply chain but in reality would take a lot to get completely off of it. You would need to do a much bigger garden so maybe the led light gets me the head start my plants need to thrive when the sun hours just are not there like early spring then out into the garden when the sun is there into summer. Hope that made sense.
There is a difference in "avoid selling things until you can provide those things" and "avoid selling things until you are allowed to sell things".
Wish I could bring myself to spend a little more time with this one. I love the meta-feel, a game semi-stuck pretending to be an OS. Most games to bake a fairly complex UI into themselves, that's artistically done, arbitrary, far apart from the OS. Better integrating an OS sensibility into the game, even if as a joke, is a powerful statement to me.

It's been a bunch of years, but I think of Stars!, which was a great 4X game that had a very OS like interface to it.
A couple of easy ones:

The ability for people to travel to so many places and engage in the human experience in ways they otherwise never could or would. The expansion of humans' radius to get together, be together, work together, exchange ideas, make love, and make families.

Because humans were able to be with so many more humans, I would argue that knowledge, learning, and thought, took place at a level that's orders of magnitude greater than it would have been otherwise. And if you subscribe at all to the idea of the butterfly effect, it's impossible to begin comprehending what mankind wouldn't have if the car hadn't existed. Would we have the cure to as many diseases? Would the rate of poverty have declined so profoundly? Would the Internet exist?
The original post did not say that externalities should be taxed. It said, "SUVs and all large trucks that are not real utility vehicles should be outlawed".
> There isn't really a paradox here

Correct. It's called paradox not because it's a logical impossibility but simply because some people *incorrectly* assume that a tolerant society should tolerate every behavior including those that harm others.
I don't think Starlink would currently work without base stations in India.
Gore-tex isnt that great these days, there are better options now.

It requires dwr to function, as soon as the dwr fails (pretty fast depending on your usage levels) its ability to breath ceases to function, at that point you're wearing a heavy, expensive, water proof coat that doesn't breath so it rains on the inside instead.

It's saving grace is that it's durable in heavy brush.

For a better alternative take a look at Columbia outdry, it doesn't require dwr so its breathability lasts for the life of the garment instead of requiring retreatments of dwr.

Frogg toggs are another option, way less durable but as far as breathable rain proof it doesn't get better.

Both outdry and frogg toggs are also way lighter than goretext. Though look around for the outdry they have heavy duty and light versions.
I think development containers are a better way to deliver code with a paper.

Besides, the paper itself should optimise for clarity and global type inference languages allow type annotation where it might help. They simply let you skip type annotations which only add noise.
Geno means race and cide means killing. The word does not have any roots in it that are specific to humans.

By your logic, we shouldn't care for humans with mental disorders or low intelligence quotients. Are you implying that only smart beings can suffer? If so, back it up. Otherwise you simply are making an appeal to tradition. If we held on to appeals to tradition, we'd still be having Thanksgiving served by our family's slave(s).
Since it’s just math in a machine and we have the math written down all over, what would be losing of long term value to the human species?

I have made a lot of money thanks to SV, but it’s not what puts food on my table; people where I live do. I don’t live near SV.

Billions of us don’t give af about SV. It’s all hype and our daily lives will look pretty much the same without it.
> Now, late 2021, it appears we are seeing more covid mutations than flu mutations.

You cannot just say things like this without citing evidence. It is so frustrating. The flu virus IN VIRTO at any time will mutate faster because it does not have a mechanism to correct mutations like SARS2 does.

The second statement I posted was straight from Astra Zenica in 2021 so why did you pick the one you wanted and refute it just because it was old? Because you are lazy and just want to be right.

This is from OCTOBER 19, 2021, all you need to do was search. But I am just done with the internet, everyone is everything but no one is nothing. I am going to be nothing.

"Six months into the pandemic, the virus seemed to be following the predicted course. "To date, there have been very few mutations observed," molecular biologist Peter Thielen at Johns Hopkins University told NPR in June 2020 for a story with the headline: "This Coronavirus Doesn't Change Quickly, And That's Good News For Vaccine Makers.""

These are great but you need to strip a specific length of insulation of off the wire - within a certain range, that is.

That's not that difficult but I wonder if there is an adjustable stripping tool that can be fixed to a certain length to get repeatable strips over and over ?

It seems like this is what I am looking for:

Would some cryptocurrency stuff count? We have no idea how much a handful of whales control Bitcoin or Eth. The tether thing seems really shaky too with how much they actually have in reserves. Same with a number of exchanges or major market players.

Cryptocurrency is also a bit wonky because of always including forever lost access to a solid percentage of the currency. Bitcoin is the most notable.
> the "Half Earth" proposal wherein half the Earth's landmass should be dedicated to human-free "nature". Of course, no one will willingly give up their home, so this is tantamount to ethnically cleansing those regions--Africa and the Global South--that are geopolitically weak so that the wealthy Western nations can maintain their decadent quality of life.

Not quite. Western quality of life can't be improved by banning the exploitation of natural resources in Africa. Rather, what's proposed is to ethnically cleanse the reserved regions so that Western nations can advance an ideological goal that lowers their own quality of life.

> Am I wrong?

For trying to explain NFTs to your family? Probably. If your family trusts you with technology, the best way to actually talk about it would be implicitly imparting your opinion as a passing topic. Something like "you hear about those chumps spending real life money on randomly-generated pixel art?" If they show interest, chase it down and indulge their curiosity. If they don't really care, cauterize the topic with a joke or a banal comment like "I didn't know the public could get any dumber!" In any case, I'd bet the last thing anyone wants to do is launch into a blockchain-based seminar when they really just want you to pass the mashed potatoes.
The article offers no new or inside information, just more armchair quarterbacking. I'm surprised that it is getting traction on HN. I think it says more about the zeitgeist than it does about the (lack of) insightful-ness of the content.
Apparently they didn't lie about the "Seriously Over-Engineered" part.
Orbital mechanics being what they are, you can't simply speed up to intercept something in orbit. Very roughly speaking, as you increase speed you increase the distance the opposite side of the orbit is from the orbited body. This means if you're trying to catch a bunch of satellites on a single orbital path you'll miss most since your orbit is different now. There are ways to do what you say but I dont know if any countries have managed to make a reusable orbital satellite killer like this.
When senior engineers adopt this attitude, they are implicitly supporting aegism. Younger engineering managers are forced into a position where they have to pass on resumes of older engineers. Damned if they do, damned if they don't!

You're correct. NFTs are unenforceable certificates of ownership for publicly available digital assets (at least as they are used currently). It's possible to make NFTs that connect to real world activities like tickets for concerts and whatnot but no one has done that yet or at least I haven't heard of it yet.
India is known to be really difficult to satcom providers. F.ex Inmarsat just recently got a limited license to operate their Ka-band service in India, but I think only on aircrafts and Indian flagged maritime vessels. Russia is also a bit difficult for requiring all terminals in their territory to register with the government, but at least fishing vessels can continue to use their satcom while in Russia as long as they register the terminal.

Just saying, it can take a really long time to acquire a satcom license in India. I think Starlink I Ku-band, so might be easier than Ka-band license.
It came right out of someones asshole because it is a big shit of a lie.
We definitely noticed the 2009-2010 swine flu pandemic, it just wasn't as deadly as COVID. Most pandemics in past memory have been minor in nature. We likely were aware of them, but didn't feel their impact because they caused mild illness or were limited in scope (eg, with SARS, ebola) and didn't directly impact people's lives. COVID does impact people's lives and the closest referent we have is the Spanish flu in 1918 which is far outside of anyone's historical memory. I'm not necessarily disputing your point about depression and anxiety, sure those may have increased as well, but COVID isn't anything like the other pandemics we've had in recent memory.
In order to actually understand true risk (to create a profitable model), you’ll actually have to experiment and lose money in order to bootstrap your own ML model. Taking data acquired elsewhere and hoping it can make your own model instantly profitable isn’t possible.
It’s clear your approach to housing is consistent with your life choices. I think maybe you are just thinking your approach is “normal” and the right way to do things.

A lot of people buy starter homes, or homes in areas they do not plan to stay 10+ years, or homes they outgrow. That’s all normal too.
Two Web Clipper questions:

1) Can Web Clipper be configured to clip both the image and the URL in a single operation (so you can paste both the visual and source into a doc as a single operation)?

2) Can Web Clipper (or some other tool) clip both are screenshot image and the URL for a slack message? For many years I've wanted a way to grab a both visual representation of a slack message I need to deal with or remember later and the URL for the message so I can get back to it later even if there have been more messages in that channel (when you follow a message link, slack redirects the browser to the channel url after focusing on the message, so by the time you have easy access to the content you've lost easy access to the url you want)
> whether we would've noticed the 1968 flu pandemic

What do your parents tell you about that year?

Students protests

Vietnam War

Woodstock

Moon landing

Drugs

African Americans finally getting their voices heard.

Nobody ever mentions the 1968 flu pandemic, given how things are 50 years from now we'd still be talking about COVID and fearing its #100,000 variant.

> As for Covid, I personally know at least 5 people who got sick, 1 was out of work for 4 weeks, though none died. How about you?

1 got sick, recovered in 8 days. Considering the median individual has a circle of 200 people they know.

It's 1/200 for me and 1/200 for you.

Not hard to kill one, but probably hard to put up enough stuff to kill many of them with a single launch.

On the other hand, it would be much easier to take out the Starlink launch vehicles before they deploy the satellites and then wait a couple of years (given their 5-year lifetime) for the service to degrade.
Toyota pickup trucks are legendary for their use by insurgents; I don't see a lot of hand-wringing over that.

Several years ago, I went looking for a digital caliper. I settled on one from a certain Japanese company. Later I read on Wikipedia that four of their executives were indicted in the 00's for fraudulently exporting measuring devices that were too accurate and indirectly may have ended up in sanctioned countries' nuclear programs.

That seems like a good tagline - "So accurate, it's illegal!"
Profitability isn't the only important metric here. It might be profitable for developers to increase density well beyond the point where it causes measurable negative externalities towards everyone occupying an over-crowded place.

There are ways to go around. Last year I bought a car (not in Turkey, but very close) and the price was in EURO converted to local currency at the rate of the last payment. I ordered with a downpayment and I got it 3 months later (supply chain slowness) and I paid in local currency the converted price of that day. The car was not sold in EURO, but the price was linked to it.

That’s the point of being a market maker. Managing those costs and risks well enough to make money from the spread.

Sounds great, if you can retire at 50. In the EU you can’t (or at least not in Sweden where I am), so you have to think about how sustainable this approach is past 50… and to me it doesn’t really feel sustainable.

I'd be very careful about implimenting AI in a field you're wholly unfamiliar with. It sounds like you've got a solution that's looking for a problem, so at the very least I'm glad you're trying to validate it. On the other side of the coin though, there is a massive chance you could miss your mark, or worse yet, exacerbate issues that are already present in AI and (further) threaten the credibility of AI-based products.

How easy is it to enforce this? Can the signal be picked up on the ground?
Why does it sound wrong? Just off the top of my head (not an exhaustive list), Venezuela was ordered to pay $1.6 Billion to compensate Exxon in 2007[1] (and that doesn't include Conoco-Phillips or other oil and gas companies). Of course that payment was never made, as Venezuela paid only $255 million.

But that's just one case.

Solely in Oil and Gas, Venezuela nationalized $30 Billion worth of investment in 2007, and paid out only $1 Billion.[3]

You can read more in this 2012 summary[3]

Of course there were many more nationalizations after 2012, e.g. the GM plant they seized in 2017[4]. You can do your own googling for more fun about everthing from DishTV to telecom equipment, gold mines, etc. Venezuela seized virtually all foreign investment in the country. They owe the international community a huge debt. The diversion of those 4 tanker ships and freezing a couple hundred million is just the first of many, many payments that Venezuela needs to make.
