> Very few of the "Kyle is a murderer" crowd have seen the actual full-length, unedited videos of what happened.

If I can translate, your claim is that they are uninformed, which is plainly a fallacious argument. Just how could you know this? This is kind of an unrelated rant, but it reminds me just a little of Justice Scalia pulling a random and made up statistic out of his hat, something he couldn't possibly know about what most Americans believe that, oh yeah, was patently false, and used it to desecrate the 2nd Amendment, without 2/3rds majority of both houses of congress nor state legislatures, i.e. not the proper self-described way literally writ in the Constitution itself, and in fact beyond the scope of the Supreme Court's domain, effectively turning what Founders intended as a selfless right to fight tyranny into something the Founders debated and explicitly decided against including within the 2nd, a selfish, unimpressive and frankly mostly expressed cowardly, right of defense of self and/or property. It was far better before becoming redundant, as the right of self-defense predates the Constitution by some time, and the decision very uncharacteristic of Scalia, a life-long literal Constitutionalist, raising questions of senility and competence, especially because he died soon after. And it is merely one right among many that had been eroded around that time, including habeas corpus, the 5th and 6th Amendments, at least.

I've watched all the videos. I still think these deaths were felony murders. I think Rittenhouse is a coward like George Zimmerman. I know this is unrelated, but there were several accidental shooting deaths recently, little kids, babies, and the list of mass gun killings is astoundingly deep and still grows. The list of uncontested gun victims is massive. Where are their rights? Does a bunch of people's vane fascination with deadly weapons supersede an innocent person's right to exist? It is a fact that less guns leads to less gun deaths, and we will be much better off as society with what would be far smaller lists of mass punchings, kickings, pokings, stabbings and axings. It'd be more interesting to read about a malcontent that had punched 14 people before being subdued by authorities. We can, actually, outlaw guns, and it would cause less gun deaths and less gun crime, but we can never outlaw fists, and everyone knows you shouldn't hit people.
I guess the question is, is it actually voluntary? The ESRB rating system was established voluntarily, but that was to avoid legislation and legal action that would have happened if they didn't. Could be a similar situation here.
“Risc V greatly underperforms”
> "Vivaldi’s built-in Capture tool lets you capture either a Full Page screenshot, or a Selection of the screen that you define. It can be accessed in a number of ways through the Vivaldi UI to give you flexibility in how you implement the tool."

Not difficult, it is the limitation of the OS. Desktop OSes don't have a way to tell the browser to take a screenshot of the full page. So it is limited of what it can do. This is where Firefox and Vivaldi comes in, they provided the tools that allows them to scroll the entire page internally and take a screenshot. If there is a website with 5 pages, the OS only can take a picture of what is actively displaying. The browsers itself can barrow deeper to get a full pages.

There is one issue I have with Vivaldi Capture, it seems to capture the webpage with lower DPI than OS capture tools. Windows and macOS capture tool looks crisp and clean. In Vivaldi, it is not crisp and I have a hard time to read the text in it. Not sure if they improve it lately.
I am happy to see EDEC performed well.

Idle comment: we use their smaller keychain bags for car fobs, after hearing with dismay first- and second- hand accounts of relay attacks being used to steal or ransack cars in our neighborhood (94110). We now keep our fobs in them except in use.
Maybe products have just reached a point of being overall just cheap enough and just good enough that consumers largely don't need to care about reviews? You talk about effort to buy a good car, maybe the average car is just good enough now. I wonder what percentage of younger people have bought an actual lemon that would cause them to be cautious.
Gah! I've reached the age when writing is easier than reading .... Sorry!

"Textile" (a woven fabric) is another great one, yes, thanks.

Diving into other etymologies and origins of other words based around information (literally, to form an impression), truth and trust, etc., is interesting. Many of the words for the most ephemeral concepts are deeply ... rooted ... in the profoundly physical, tactile, and material.

Well, that's some human-centric view.
1. Microsoft was found to have an OS monopoly (Windows) that they were found to be illegally extending into a monopoly on web browsers by bundling Internet Explorer. Apple has not been found to have a monopoly.

2. Apple does not exclude competing web browsers from their App Store. They exclude alternative web renderers and javascript implementations.

Re 1, the idea that an end user OS would be anything other than deficient if it wasn’t bundled with a web browser seems quaint. And honestly it was dubious at the time.

as with many man-made constructs, we inadvertently introduced discontinuities into an otherwise continuous function: artificial governing units (city, county, state, country) when governance ranges continuously from the individual to the world. this is a self-inflicted problem of trying to wedge the ‘right’ level of government for each and every governance issue. rather than the federalism/anti-federalism dichotomy, we should be thinking about how to create a more continuous governance structure matched to the continuous scope of governance issues.

for instance, the state largely delegates zoning and housing starts to cities, but that’s turned into a regional concern as cities try to offload housing onto nearby cities to preserve existing stock and dedicate the rest to commercial property. so then, the right place to institute zoning/housing is not at the city level, or even the county level, but at the regional level. however, we don’t have a regional governance structure, so it gets wedged into existing city/county frameworks.

Fair points on downsides and upsides of using Electron in development. But there's huge gaping hole in this logic: the points are given from the perspective of software developers, not software users. Users, given the choice between native and Electron, would overwhelmingly choose the former.

Speaking as a user I don’t care about your production costs and your programming knowledge. I care about my experiences. That’s why many Electron-based programs are marketed to managers as “solutions”, not to the actual end users.

As a macOS user let me add to the list of complaints mentioned by the author. Despite having fully functioning native iOS apps, some companies will not allow installing those directly on M1 based Macs, nor would they produce a rather simple ports for macOS. They will insist for you to use Electron-based client, like everyone else does. Teams, Slack, Discord. So I do agree that at least in this case Electron is evil.

This is not an endorsement. I've got some issues with the monitor -- it does something weird displaying certain patterns, which comes up for me occasionally. Also, sometimes, the curved screen bugs me, because straight lines aren't straight. YMMV
Keyword being "chances".
I've heard the streetlight one before but I also like "when you're a hammer, then every problem is a nail". I hadn't thought of it this way though perhaps I had felt it. It feels like this is the dream for AR/VR - to create a software defined reality that you can escape to.
I think the onus is on the movie+software to display right on my hardware, not on me to buy special hardware so I can see what's going on. This kind of hubris (most famously seen in the battle scenes from the last season of Game of Thrones) is really incredible.

> I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with private prisons. The problem is that they are misaligned, not that they exist

I have lived through some of these cycles, of trying to adjust incentives so markets can deliver goods/services in a sensible way when the naturally occurring incentives are skewed in all the wrong ways.

In imprisoning people the incentives are all wrong to involve the private sector. The public sector too faces bad incentives. It is a catastrophe AFAICT both in the USA, here in Aotearoa, and in our neighbouring state Australia. These are the cases I know something about.

We can only fix it one bite at a time, and keeping the private sector out of the mix - with their millions in lobbying power, is one such bite. Here we have mostly succeeded. Where the private sector has gotten in the lives of prisoners have gotten worse.

Remember: Every prisoner will be released (here - maybe not there) and they will be your neighbour. How do you want to treat them when you have them in your power? So you think cruel treatment will increase, or decrease, the chances of bad actions when they are living next to you?

> "If you listen to, say, 'Four Weddings and a Funeral,' you'll hear every word ... the sound was cut on film back then, and with limited time, track count, and budget, these are the results you got."

Can somebody translate this, what is meant by “cut on film” in this context?

I found [0] via web search, but it seems to be about distribution and not production. It seems unlikely to me that a 1994 movie’s sound was initially recorded in an optical format. But I can see how if it was planned to be distributed with sound-on-film, that could influence the production. Is that what was meant by the quote above? What do movie sound people mean by the word “cut” in this context, or does it have no specific meaning?

> who actually wants to live in a ADU?

The homeless. The poor. Young students. Artists. Elderly. Refugees.

That is anyone who can't get anything better. ADUs are useful housing for those who are on the edges, but pretty much all of the above wants better - they just can't afford it.

If money wasn't a limit how would that change your housing? Indoor pool? Bowling alley off your bedroom? servant quarters? Everyone has a limit - I listed things that most of us would be not sure if they are worth it or not, but with money not being the limit maybe we would. However because money is a limit most of us don't seriously look at those things even though it is possible now (you might need a zoning variance to fit a bowling alley on your lot, but if you are reading this it probably is an affordable addition if you really want it)
>Why do all the riscv fans Conveniently ignore aarch64 when they make statements like this? It was in fact a completely clean new design, based on hindsight, by people who know what they are doing, and with no legacy Cruft.

aarch64 seems poorly designed to me.

ARMv7 had thumb, but for some reason ARMv8 did not incorporate any lessons from that. As a result, code density is bad; ARMv8 binaries are huge.

ARMv9, to be available in chips next year, is just a higher profile of required extensions, and does nothing to fix that.

Ever wonder why M1 needs such huge L1 cache? Well, now you know.

Considering ARMv9 will be competing against RVA22, I don't have much hope for ARM.
I made a couple of basic CRUD apps with it and it was pretty cool. I could build a React app and then build the electron app based on React's build folder and it just works.

I don't believe that fMRI has sufficient temporal or spatial resolution to support the claims in this paper.
Snowden's data, however, does not describe a troll-farm to influence public political opinion in another country, like, say, Russia did when promoting Brexit on the English internet.

It is very likely they do this though. But they seem to focus on amplifying truths and correcting the record. PR opinion on Uyghur concentration camps has exploded, just order Reddit frontpage by most popular posts. Does not look entirely natural. But those concentration camps likely do exist, the media without access to intelligence agencies just was not writing about them.

And of course, the US being an exporter of culture, European countries follow suit. Nasty, when the views exported are the result of an information-warfare attack.
Well yeah... The occasions I'd /actually/ stand up a LAMP stack nowadays are few. There are far better projects and platforms to make it happen.
> 2. chronic infection in a single immunosuppressed patient. We've seen this before (see, for example, this: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2031364 ) and southern africa has a lot of immunosuppressed people thanks to HIV. Additionally, there are some genetic markers that suggest evolution in a human.

I speculated about this in another post recently. Might as well try putting it up for consideration here again:

If it's in co-infection with HIV, then it isn't only the immune status that's abnormal in the physiology, and it might not even be the most significant circumstance with respect to what's happened here.

They're not particularly closely related, but both coronaviruses and retroviruses apparently pack their genome as positive-sense, single-stranded RNA, so it doesn't seem wildly implausible to me that HIV's modifications to nucleic acid metabolism would operate on coronavirus RNA, and HIV is infamous for generating plenty of variability for itself. It copying sloppily and doing it on purpose, insofar as that can be ascribed to an organism like this.

I never got particularly deep into viruses, so there may be certainly be known aspects about this I'm missing, but so far I haven't been able to find anyone to tell me a compelling reason why it wouldn't work.

What are the markers that suggest evolution in a human? I'd be interested to see a reference.
if you're an active shooter in a populated place i think you're extremely lucky to get only slightly bashed in the head as normally much worse things would happen to you.
The future will not be built on XML.
In fact it hasn't been shown to be extremely mild. Much too early to tell.

There are strong suggestions that it evades immunity from prior infection - presumably the reverse would also be true.

Early days yet as we wait for the data to come in, but indeed Now may well be the time to panic!
> Linux has been making progress but still isn't a good alternative for the common user

For non tech savvy people, Linux can cause problems, but only if they do something weird to their system. Linux, specifically Ubuntu or Mint, untouched, and unaltered is a great out-of-the-box experience.

The key (if turning someone on to Linux for the first time) is to stress that the command line is for power users who want full control of every bit on the system.

It's best to gradually introduce the command line once they're familiar with using the system and are comfortable doing their first (command line) update/upgrade ritual.
I read the article and the comments here.

Regarding the article: "Kubernetes will be some weird thing people loved for five years"

What will replace it? It seems to me that people are moving towards K8 because it's the right abstraction.

Regarding suggestions to use Herzner. I just looked because, while I knew the name, I didn't know the offerings. All I see is web hosting and Linux VMs.
I always get a chuckle at all the hate Electron gets on HN, or in very technical communities. At the end of the day, so many people fail to realize the success of Electron is in making desktop applications so much more approachable for those that are mainly front-end focused developers/hackers.

I have played around with Electron in the past for fun "nothing" projects, and also tried to understand what many on HN would want as the "correct" way to build native apps. It's an indescribable difference how much easier Electron is to get up and running from my experience, as someone who primarily does front-end work.

Are there better ways to build native apps? Of course. Electron still solves a massive problem for many developers and end-users that I don't understand why so many here get on their high horse refusing to acknowledge. It's similar to PHP hate to me. Of course there are better languages to use, but things like WordPress using PHP are so much more approachable for so many developers.
I'm afraid you may have misunderstood. I stated that R would be <1 if vaccination were at 100%, not that the threshold is between 99% and 100%.

The virus decides how much is needed, we don't.
You can understand this chess position better than the top engines. Why?
I'm cautiously hopeful about this too, it would be ideal for a "high transmission yet benign" variant to take over. Effectively joining the common cold class of viruses.

But like everything else this pandemic, we have to wait and see. Hopefully we get the good news before the end of the year.
Around a year ago Google also delisted bluelight.org, which is a well-known site for recreational drug users - and it's focused on harm reduction

It will still show results if you explicitly use `site:bluelight.org`, otherwise it never appears in search results - prior to Google delisted it, it always ranked very highly (top 5).

I can't help but wonder about the harm that decision had made - people may well have literally died because of it.

With Firefox 93, I was restarting the browser 3 or 4 times a day because it kept crashing while playing videos. It would start with videos loading but not playing, and then moments later the whole browser would lock up and leave no choice but to kill it and restart. So far Firefox 94 seems to have that issue resolved, but that experience with 93 was very nearly enough to make me quit.

(I should probably mention, another long-running complaint I have with Firefox is the community's habit of gaslighting anybody who talks about Firefox's problems with the usual "I never experience that so your experiences are invalid" So please spare me this time.)
That's a great way to stall any progress towards anything worthwhile. Everything in moderation. There's always a way. More often, it is right down the center.
It depends a lot of nature of business.

For resource intensive business (e.g. video processing, big data as a service)I would expect 20-40% of revenue, so 2.4 - 4.8 mln/year.

For typical application (e.g. CRM, specialized app, integration) 5-10% of revenue, so 600k-1.2 mln/year.

Mature, stable companies tend to have lower numbers. Hypergrowth startups may have waste in their growth phase.

While data is lacking, there is absolutely no reason to suppose that the symptoms are the same as the common cold for the unvaccinated. Vaccines have both reduced spread and more importantly yet reduced deaths. The strategy moving forward is to both continue to press the vaccination strategy as well as mass manufacture new antivirals so we can save as many of those too short sighted to vaccinate despite themselves. It's also liable that we will be stuck with another shot in 2022.

The strategy of just let it wash over us so we can get back to normal is not quite as horrifying as it was in 2020 when it meant hundreds of millions of damaged bodies and 3 million dead but it remains ridiculous. The unvaccinated who are liable to experience something no better than earlier strains aren't evenly distributed and areas where they are concentrated are especially vulnerable to their health care systems being overwhelmed but the truth is even in areas where ONLY 1 in 3 is unvaccinated we don't have the capacity for much of the population to linger in the hospital for weeks or months before deciding whether to die or not.

We don't have enough antivirals manufactured yet nor do we know the long term outlook of survivors even after we can manufacture more. We don't even know if they will be as effective with the new strain!

We don't have such a healthy economy that we can afford to go through another covid induced slump and believe me if deaths and illness start going up we will have another big ass slump whether an official lock down is declared or not.

For at least 2022 covid is going to be a substantial workplace hazard and it is absolutely reasonable that if someone gets sick at work and experiences substantial costs, disability, or death they treat it just like a workplace accident and if we do that then mandates become the only tenable option to reduce liability and OSHA will be only a convenient excuse for your employer is in fact doing to cover their own asses.

From the perspective of a worker why should I work at a place that wont even make you get a shot so you don't murder me. It seems to me a lot like letting you drive the forklift drunk an entirely unnecessary risk. It's a sellers market and I can sell my labor elsewhere.

Just tried it in an incognito window out of curiosity. I didn't expect it to be true (if only because results are so variable) but sure enough, the parent accurately described the top carousel of results with photos (a feature I'm not sure I've ever actually seen before—I guess I don't tend to search things that trigger that page element to appear). 5/12 white, 7/12 black (zero any other group) of the set that appears on the front page without side-scrolling.

(I make no claims about why this is—I haven't a clue—and don't, personally, really care that it's the case, but am just confirming that I do indeed see the described behavior)
