You don't see the contradiction in what you have written here? You're trying to belittle people taking precautions by saying that they're "petrified". You're using emotive language to try to force through a weak argument.

Obviously you can't stay indoors all of the time. People need to get food, fix their houses, and so on. People who are especially vulnerable to the virus are the ones who have to leave their homes the most for essential medical care.
I don't know about Tirol, but in Banff, the restrictions don't prevent construction of multi-unit buildings specifically for renters. I don't know exactly how ownership of these buildings work, but I think they're owned by the town through some non-profit org.

I don't live in Banff and I'm sure there are issues with this system, but it seems pretty reasonable. Service workers would definitely be priced out if every condo/apartment was owned privately and available as a short-term rental.
Your servers can crash, go offline, etc and you can recover you business.

If you lose your database, corrupt it, etc you can't recover and it could destroy your business.

I don't want to deal with that worry so I used managed databases.
> will the kids buy a self charging Toyota 30 years later because they remembered old propaganda?

This is the hope... "brand affinity" it's why Facebook started focusing on kids, so they could get them into the ecosystem over their lifespan and avoid "facebook is for old people" issues.

And anecdotally it probably works, I remember toy ads from 30 years ago quite well.

Kids do engage in this stuff themselves though, I wrote a letter to Sega at one point to point out a typo in the Genesis manual and they sent me a bunch of stickers and stuff. I was genuinely curious about how their company operated, how games were made, etc... so informational content might be satiating general curiosity from kids they've noticed, but it's a thin line.
They're referring to https://www.engadget.com/2017-12-16-firefox-mr-robot-extensi..., an event that occurred 5 years ago, was immediately rolled back after launch, and hasn't happened again.

If you've ever visited the Vasa [1] in Stockholm, you know that wooden ship was fairly well preserved after 300 years, because the Baltic is less salty than the ocean. Its connectivity with the North Sea is pretty limited, so over time that's what happened.

So, we don't have to totally dry up the Med; just turn it into an almost-fresh-water lake! Randall, calculate how many thousands or millions of years that would take.

Since COVID doesn't cause immunity to the flu, it can't outcompete the flu. You can, in fact, get both at the same time. Flu cases may be down due to anti-COVID measures, but it hasn't been eradicated. There is plenty of flu still circulating.

As it should be if the executive isn’t micromanaging. If a crisis erupts and they’re nowhere to be found, on the other hand, that’s a problem.
The studies I saw said the opposite. The vaccine is far more robust. Which is it?
MIT Technology Review interviewed the new CEO recently:

> Our role is not to be bound by the First Amendment, but our role is to serve a healthy public conversation and our moves are reflective of things that we believe lead to a healthier public conversation. The kinds of things that we do about this is, focus less on thinking about free speech, but thinking about how the times have changed. One of the changes today that we see is speech is easy on the internet. Most people can speak. Where our role is particularly emphasized is who can be heard. The scarce commodity today is attention. There's a lot of content out there. A lot of tweets out there, not all of it gets attention, some subset of it gets attention. And so increasingly our role is moving towards how we recommend content and that sort of, is, is, a struggle that we're working through in terms of how we make sure these recommendation systems that we're building, how we direct people's attention is leading to a healthy public conversation that is most participatory.

Sounds like he advocates an emphasis on how to algorithmically "guide" the conversation and shape public opinion....
They are only sharding data. The execution layer isn't going to be sharded for awhile, if ever.
That argument sounds good until you remember T-Mobile, a company with less than half the annual revenue of AT&T, has absolutely no problem servicing any device with the proper frequency bands.
That's because marijuana still counts as a drug. In young professional circles for non-marijuana drugs, there is definitely a major crypto backend even if you only deal with the middleman.

mRNA Covid Vaccines Dramatically Increase ACS Risk
I do not quite know what to make out of it, as I lack the technical competence in that area and I got the link from anti-vaxx circles, but unlike most bs from there, this seems to have more substance. It seems like a reputable journal and organisation stands behind the research. (American heart organisation)

And from what I understand, with a quite drastic conclusion:

"These changes resulted in an increase of the PULS score from 11% 5 yr ACS risk to 25% 5 yr ACS risk"

So more than twice the chance of getting a heart attack, if vaccinated by mRNA? That seems significant and would make me choose a different vaccine, if true.

What I initially suspected, when I heard of heart attacks as a side effect, is that when people are scared of the vaccine(and many are) - then the stress of getting the shot might result in an actual condition. But here it seems specifically mRNA vaccines related.

So I would be thankful for more insightful comments.
It's a lifesaver in countries with rampant inflation where they forbid you to buy currencies from other countries. Literally in some cases.
Thanks for that point of view. I watched a few single Linux on Android devices videos, but there’s never many of them, almost one or two only per device but I see countless pine videos saying the same things I read about or giving no new information besides the usual boring “this still does not work unless you want a buggy tablet shaped like a phone”.

I don’t think it’s a conspiracy as much as an irrational trend. I learned here why the Cosmo and Gemini aren’t good, but it’s not the only device that came with Linux that was ignored, there was a Meizu MX4 Ubuntu Edition with kernel code available but no interest. https://github.com/meizuosc/m75

To me it looks like it’s just marketing that those 2 are popular.
Depending on how big or small it needs to be, potentially for subtlety? Especially on current roads that are shared by humans and self-driving systems, a human observer will immediately notice that something is terribly wrong with a replaced sign.

But... around here at least, signs have stickers or graffiti on them often enough. Like adding the name of a politician under a stop sign: "Stop [Harper]". An appropriately made adversarial example won't stick out visually the same way that a wholesale sign swap will.
Because NeurIPS doesn't publish papers on stop sign removal yet :P

>IIRC English - Indian English, not British or American - is the second language of the most people in India

It isn't. According to 2011 census, 11% people in India can speak English (I suspect that the actual number is much lower). Hindi on the other hand is spoken by 57%.

English is the language of elitism in India.
All of those are true only if you stay on-chain, once you touch the real world things get much messier. Coinbase had outages. The number of coins in your account is safe, but their buying power is fluctuating much more than any old-school securities. Instead of "opaque liabilities" you have bugs in the contract. And the currencies are only solvent as long as there are buyers and media interest.

Also, I couldn't help to notice that you have ignored my questions -- how will the non-blockchain businesses use it? If a bakery needs some money to get a new bread machine because old one broke, do you really expect them to create a new token and adverize it all over the internet?

It's simply privileging calldata with lower gas (changing a constant) plus adding a cap on the maximum amount of calldata that can be in a given block to prevent crazy state bloat. It's effectively baking in L2s as something the protocol wants to encourage by giving them a "tax break". Note that the gas market is still in effect, so this is "tuning call data against the other costly aspects of ETH tx processing" rather than some "magic price reduction".

Measles can't create an escape mutant, or at least it's so hard that centuries of immunity exerting pressure and gain of function experiments can't produce one. Flu recombines and reassorts like crazy. It has RNA segments (the media likes to call them "chromosomes", but they are not) that are pretty much interchangeable, so if you or a non-human animal gets infected with multiple strains, you can get a virus with a hybrid of those segments quite often. I think rubella actually can escape. The chickenpox vaccine mostly just suppresses symptoms. The smallpox vaccine is just another orthopoxvirus, so you get pretty good cross reactive immunity.

Hm, interesting. Binance US does not.

I can't imagine that you wouldn't take a substantial haircut... way more people would want to sell monero on Binance because the benefits of selling there are way more than the unique benefits of buying there (it is easy to buy monero, it is not easy to sell monero without getting dirty coins).
> Nobody would miss these chains if they disappeared, just like nobody misses the previous wave of "eth killers" (eos, neo, tezos, lisk, etc).

I used to believe this, but despite the inferiority of these chains I no longer think this is the case. I think NFTs are the use case a lot of Crypto was looking for, and there are now a significant number of people making their living via NFTs on chains like Solana & Tezos. The volume from their activity alone (not to mention defi) I think is enough to sustain appetite towards developing these chains in a direction for the better. Wether or not that will happen remains to be seen, but certainly plenty of folks would miss these chains if they went belly up.
I agree that asymptomatic transmission reduces this pressure, but symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 carriers are often still contagious, and there is more public will to enact extreme precautions for more lethal illnesses.

So there is still some evolutionary benefit for lower lethality.

Hyperbole. De-risk companies is the right word, MBAs unlike wide eyed founders understand that odds are against companies and survival is the priority.

They understand that a company like Yahoo! which in 20 years produced lots of value for shareholders, customers, users and employed so many people...that's a happy story.

People on HN see Yahoo! and think "failure", that's the same as saying Derrick Rose is a failure for not being Lebron, well if that's the case where's your 100M net worth for playing basketball?
Screw other drugs. I want to get some antibiotics without having to hear a lecture from 3 different doctors on why they won’t help me, even when they do.

Or that I injured my back and had to spend 2 grand at Er for a standard 7 day steroid pack to calm inflammation because doctors don’t like prescribing them.
It will be interesting to see if CoV-2 has significant seasonality in the long term. We see numbers going up as parts of the US tend to spend more time inside (in the summer for southern states, or like around now, in winter for northern states), but once it becomes just an ordinary part of life, maybe the reduction of precautions will make cases more evenly distributed.

Sharding is a very simple to understand concept and it's used in database systems today. Effectively, Ethereum's long-term data will become split across 4 partitions (which function as one chain). A validator would not be required to validate data on all 4 shards, they could validate across just one.

Ethereum's execution will continue to be serialized while the data layer is parallelized.

This allows the chain data to grow without excessive hardware requirements.
It would once the govt gets involved. It's like saying that weapons research is just a free-for-all. The amount of regulation is correlated with the potential harm to society.

Look at drug research. There is plenty of red tape that hinders it. Although, here, the "harm to society" is defined by the nation state.

However, I agree with your proposals in the top-level comment.

> The data presented in the manuscript show that, to escape immunity, a disease-causing, or pathogenic, measles virus would need to generate a large set of mutations — simultaneously — affecting multiple parts of the surface proteins. Simultaneous disruption of at least five antibody targets is required before the virus starts developing resistance to the diversity of neutralizing antibodies in the bloodstream.

FBI Document Says the Feds Can Get Your WhatsApp Data – In Real Time
I have to agree with you. At least in my experience this seems true (with a few exceptions). I feel that devs that rely on auto-complete and such of an IDE are never really forced to know the libraries and code they're using. To me it feels like training wheels they never take off, and therefore can never move at full speed.
But maybe it's just that due to the popularity of these IDEs, many newer devs are using them while older, more experienced devs are still using what they're used to.

Quick edit: I work with some junior devs who all use IDEs. It pains me when I ask them where some code is and they only give me the filename and not the full path. I guess this is because that is what is most prominent in the IDE.
Copyright owners notoriously work around “use it or lose it” clauses (common in rights contracts) already, adding one to the law will just prompt junk works to extend copyright.

A better idea, IMO, is just to have a limited free copyright period (say, 30 years) and beyond tha copyright owners pay an annual ad valorem tax at a rate which increases over time (time holding the copyright past the 30 year mark, specifically, so someone with a 31 year old copyright in 2053 would pay the same rate as someone with a 31 year old copyright in 2075, but the former would be paying more in 2075 than the latter) on the declared value of the copyright, with the caveat that:

(1) the declared value constitutes acceptance of that valuation as fair compensation for purposes of eminent domain, and

(2) a list of all works with such a declaration, and their declared value, will be published, with the work itself available for inspection (deposit requirement being mandatory for extended copyright), and

(3) any person may, by paying the declared value plus a fixed administrative surcharge to the Copyright Office, trigger the government exercise of eminent domain to purchase the work into the public domain.

The tax assures that if it's not driving new work it comes into the public domain, the public domain purchase option and public right of exercise safeguard against underrating the value and provide a way to pull works into the public domain if there is a constituency which sees sufficient value for it.

You misunderstood then, because what was said was essentially "official benchmarks for servers are meaningless", not that "performance doesn't matter". Do your own testing, for your own usecase.

But still, a server should rarely ever be your bottleneck. Your application's DB I/O will be.

This is exactly what the original complaint was: Someone complains that Caddy is slower than the options, and the official response is not neither agreement nor giving data to show that Caddy is fast, but equivocating about whether it matters while avoiding commenting on whether the claim is true. If you want to ship a webserver that's slower but safer and easy to use, that's fine; I'm using Caddy to host my stuff because that's a reasonable trade off. It's just the dodging of the question that gets old fast.
