Tunnels Found in the Jungle Were Created by Prehistoric Creatures
It is I think vastly better for people to make those decisions than for them to be made by smart contract. The institutions we discuss now are at their core social systems.
Regarding #2, it's likely that Omicron did not emerge in Africa but elsewhere. South Africa has the best genetic surveillance on the planet which is why they're picking up evidence of new variants more often than other countries.
Nope, Holo / Holochain has nothing to do with Ethereum; HOT is just the place-holder token (issued during the ICO used to fund the project, initially, a couple of years ago).

When the project goes live, it will be exchangeable for the initial HoloFuel cryptocurrency.
I'd like to describe a complementary problem to yours - that it's very difficult or impossible to find out others' experiences with a product's quality, durability, and performance. That is - the complement to the problem of "it's hard to determine if some products work" is "it's hard to find other users' experiences with the product".

Amazon reviews are completely worthless, but very few other platforms have anywhere close to the same number of reviews on them. Most platforms have no verification of purchase for reviews. It's hard to determine information like "does this device require a cloud login? for which functionality? are there ads?" that isn't explicitly supplied by the manufacturer (or hidden by them). Negative reviews about product breaking quickly aren't very useful because people whose products work for a long time leave reviews at a lower rate. Google is almost useless for finding out information like this because of how SEO-gamed everything is, and the ol' "site:reddit.com" trick will only work for a while longer until these fraudsters create enough fake reviews on Reddit that it also succumbs (which is already beginning).

(rant "...and this problem will likely won't be solved anytime soon, because consumers don't care about these things. That's the reason that we're in this situation - consumer apathy. When was the last time you heard a non-tech-savvy relative say something along the lines of "Wow, this phone didn't last very long. Is there a place where I can add that data point so that other people will be more informed before they purchase one?" Users don't care about performance, privacy, or durability - they just want to watch Netflix and pay the lowest sticker price they can (regardless of annual cost of ownership). You see people self-organizing around things like video games or paintball or book clubs or whatever all the time - why won't they put even a fraction of that effort into ensuring that they buy a good car?")

Omicron Variant Spread at Anime Convention in NYC
People rich enough to own SFH don't really care about the money. They didn't buy the place to sell.

The product they're buying with the SFH form is Exclusivity.

With a SFH surrounded by other SFHs you have few neighbours and you're (mostly) guaranteed that they're the same class as you.

SFH owners oppose apartments because apartments bring more people and (gasp) poorer people.
I feel that nuclear weapons have made modern global war impossible. Because the powerful would not be able to escape the effects of such a conflict.

So for the first time we must now work out our differences without war. This can't be a bad thing.
Why should we subsidize a car storage spot?
To be fair, this argument is only valid when targeting people from outside of the areas of expertise / niches involved:

> All of the current histrionics that we hear from [[INSERT_ANTI_ESTABLISHMENT_TREND_HERE]]-- you know what they remind me of? They remind me of what I hear from junior developers when they're tasked with fixing an antiquated, broken software system

The argument will become invalid if, say, a "Senior" in a field is defending the anti-establishment trend or movement within that field.
> I don't believe in reincarnation, but it's not hard at all for me to see how it can be used as a moral tool that helps people think long term.

I find this highly offensive. The people must be lied to so they can do the thing that's best for them, because they can't come to this conclusion in a way that doesn't involve lieing.
> built with hindsight no other ISA has

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.
I kind of associate people making a big deal about them with spam. Using them just to find yet another reason to "hype" their thing, the folks who think that you starred their repo means they get to email spam you, ...
Thank you. This is exactly the mistake I made.

It raised some flags in my head when I read it, but then again - Romans did so many things out of lead that I did not challenge it.
> There are many parts of the US where you'd be lucky to get 1 Mbps down on 3G.

India has nation-wide 4g coverage with decent speed except inside reserve forests where nobody lives.

These "remote" villages seem to exist only in "developed" United States.
Not OP, but I assume the argument is something to the tune of: healthcare should be universal to make progress, universal healthcare would disproportionally benefit the poor, the poor are disproportionally of color.
> or some reason we have have codified that one religious practice into our government?

We haven't really codified the religious practice so much as codified the civil law assumptions around it.

It is weird in many ways, and it is the most complicated (and misunderstood) contract that many/most people will execute in their lives and it's done very implicitly.

On the other hand, if you didn't have the contractual side of marriage standardized, a whole other can of worms gets opened. If we didn't have a "standard contract" there are a crapton of things you would have to deal with individually.

Before gay marriage, some same-sex couples worked pretty hard to try and get as close to the marriage contracts as they could through contracts, which as I understand it was pretty expensive (5 figures typically) and ultimately not entirely successful especially as there are other implicit aspects that run counter to it.
I seriously, seriously doubt that.

Apple has needs for serving 1+ Billion of its customers. IS&T has been known to be a complete pile of crap ( plenty of evidence on HN alone ). A dozens of hiring seems more to me like trying to fix things rather than compete. The will need hundreds if not thousands as bare minimum.

They have been pitting Azure against AWS and GCP against Azure to gain extremely favourable terms.
In the long run everyone including the immunocompromised population will likely be infected. I encourage everyone eligible to get vaccinated, however there will be no significant herd immunity effect to protect those who lack immunity. There may be some benefit to slowing this down however it can't be prevented.

The Young H.G. Wells
From what I've read, infrastructure for SFH is much more expensive to build and maintain, because each mile serves so many fewer people, and because the land is basically under-utilized, so the city collects less property tax from it. (One million-dollar SFH vs 8 500k apartments in a 4-plex, for example)
Omicron is in Hong Kong so likely it is in China too.
The layout on this does not score very high for readability.
The people stealing from cars are mostly more organized people from East Bay more so than homeless people.
What if I think freedom is the greater good? Maybe people just differ in their goals and priorities?

I think the current vaccination discussions are a good example. It used to be that society would accept sacrifices for freedom. For example they would deem thousands of traffic accident deaths acceptable in exchange for mobility, or send hundreds of thousands of soldiers to their death to fight for freedom.

Now many people seem to feel that every Covid death has to be avoided at all costs. Which is of course a valid opinion, but not a given truth, given that at other times, people were actually willing to pay the price of higher risk in exchange for freedom.

So neither group is necessarily wrong, in my opinion, they just thing different things are more important.

A good movie that illustrates it may be "I, Robot", when the robots tasked with protecting humans decide the best way to protect them is to lock them into their homes. Let's say we achieve that kind of technology, robots can take of everything, and humans are safest when locked away at home. Should we advocate locking everybody up?
W3C is 'no longer fit for purpose after being hijacked by Google'
If you keep complaining about the lack of water though a pipeline will eventually be built.
Well yes true. Arguably the whole NFT thing is an example of that already.

But I get your point; it is reasonable for savvy people to have a play ground for more risk.
Sure. But I don't use those.
Cumulative analysis of post-authorization adverse event reports
"By February of 2021, Pfizer had already received more than 1,200 reports of death allegedly caused by the vaccine"

"and tens of thousands of reported adverse events, including 23 cases of spontaneous abortions out of 270 pregnancies and more than 2,000 reports of cardiac disorders."
Deer, dogs, bats, cats.. the list goes on and on.
The Vite Ecosystem – A story of collaboration
I've got one. 100% recommended. Bought mine at $1500. I'm not rich but I've never regretted this purchase.
As someone who's largely stuck with middle of the road hardware for financial reasons, i find that 1080p monitors are the sweet spot between having the screen estate for my programs and plenty of text on the screen, but also graphics performance if i ever want to do something else - from watching movies, doing 3D modelling or 3D printing, to gaming without resolution scaling.

Of course, i splurged a little bit on an RX 570, so currently i have multiple monitors connected to my PC, two stacked vertically, one on my PC case to the side, and another turned in portrait orientation to the other side. Personally, that setup works for me, since the way OSes do window snapping and tiling is inconsistent, so it's easy to work in both Windows and Linux with multiple monitors, without trying to split everything up into smaller zones or trying to use a tiling window manager.

However, if you want to customize things further (e.g. Windows doesn't really do vertically stacked snapping zones), the PowerToys FancyZones is suitable for this, whereas at least some Linux desktops can probably be customized to do this too (without spending too much time, i think LXDE didn't let you alter it that much, or another DE/WM, though my memory might fail me here).

There's something immensely useful about having one monitor for previewing the webpage or software that i'm working on, one for writing the code or using my Git client of choice, and another for anything from documentation, chat apps in the background or even just watching a video.

I'd say that the biggest problem with this setup is that i needed to make my own VESA mounts and a stand out of some PVC tubing and PLA plastic (3D printed and screwed on with bolts), since the options for any sort of custom monitor configuration out there are limited, if you don't want to spend a lot of money on it.
Very different. RISC-V's vectors (RVV) are "variable length", so the programmer can request a length and the machine tells you what it can give you. Different machine versions can change the underlying vector size and the code Will Just Work.

This is different from "fixed-width SIMD" which has a hard-coded vector length. To make things more challenging for the programmer/compiler, I believe most x86 SIMD versions also don't provide a "mask" register, so you're stuck with using all vector elements (AVX512 added masks).

Each has its advantages and disadvantages (esp. on the design complexity vs programmer/compiler interface complexity).

RVV also provides a mechanism to reconfigure the register file, ganging logical registers together to get longer effective vector lengths.
So what are the typical attributes of a normal user? AFAIK, everybody who doesn't need an expert to care for his system, would be capable of installing and running one of the more popular and user friendly Linux distributions.

If you need an expert anyway, it doesn't matter much which OS you use. The only exception I can think of are disabled people, who might rely on very specific software.
You lost the word “universal” in “universal healthcare” in the comment you’re replying to. There are many ways racism impedes the push for universal healthcare. One is the classic fact that it is a welfare program, and that spurs the comments and thoughts about welfare queens and “young bucks.”
Those exterior staircases are such a unique feature, certainly the way they are positioned. Love your city very much, one of the best in North America.
In the US, you typically own the land your house is on.
The overwhelming majority of people live in countries with representative government and functioning legal systems. Yes, the US and Russia and China and India and Brazil all meet this description. Why do you believe otherwise?
So was the Little Prince applying daily regularization to the baobabs on his planet?
Build your audience like a punk band
Yes it is. On x86, SSE is 128-bit and AVX is 256-bit and AVX-512 is 512-bit. RISC-V V extension handles all vector lengths uniformly: vector add is the same instruction no matter vector length.
Two things I would add to your list:
- CEQA reform to now allow single individuals to hold up project
- State level zoning guidance (similar to SB 9 / SB 50), where if a developer meets certain zoning guidance, local communities cannot oppose
The additional work required to build a level floor over a slanted slab seems minor when compared to the total work involved in converting a garage to e.g. residential use.
So far Omicron has been shown to be extremely mild with only some minor symptoms. Isn’t this the ideal situation? Finally a variant that is less lethal and may help provide immunity against more lethal variants.

Just missing the “now is the time to panic” vibe being pushed by many news outlets.
No. Assuming prices increase by the same percentage in all price bands, appreciation makes buying up more expensive.
> Because they will need to hire more hourly workers.

I think this is absolute rounding error on the number of additional hourly workers needed.

Yes, a reasonable percentage of salaried workers in low wage industries are exploited as you describe. In turn, with an hourly wage, they'll work a small percentage fewer hours.
How much EM radiation bounces and how much it gets absorbed is highly variable depending on the material and, most importantly, the frequency of the EM radiation. A great example in this article is the faraday bag that was visibly transparent but blocked the EM radiation in the 1-6gHz range. The metal tin was basically the opposite, it blocked visible radiation very effectively but not radiation in the radio frequency range.
> Google's has been bashed so consistently on privacy issues on mainstream media that non-techies often associate them with creepy data collection

What? Every non-tech person I see is happily running Google Chrome and has never even considered Firefox. Hell, I think most still think Google is one of the "good guys".

Non-tech people still trust Google much more than Microsoft. Microsoft is bad, but they haven't made your data their core business just yet.
He talks about short-lived applications, but on my Mac, it's rare that I launch a new application. I have most of my apps running all the time.
I agree. I switched to Brave Search after running this test.
There's so much probabilities that I cannot help but see more dreams than reality so far. Even if some things manage to deliver .. who knows how it will evolve. Look at facebook, juggernaut, unstoppable.. already rotting. Then it's economy/finance tied.. there will be a lot of forces at play and few people that know who will influence the market more. Hence my message above.
We actually stopped watching Man in the High Castle due to audio issues with the dialog. The volume difference was so great, we were constantly increasing/decreasing the volume depending on whether there was dialog or not. This was using a Mac mini, plugged into a Bose Wave Radio, which normally works great for TV/movies.
If you look at wealth inequality over the past 50 years it would seem to indicate that those methods don't actually seem to accomplish much.
That is why diamonds are traditionally used for that sort of transfer.
Calling something an illusion is the wrong way of looking at things because everything in life is about getting at least 80-99% there — to be “good enough.” Everything therefore is an illusion by that logic.

There’s no absolute guarantee that a seat belt will save you, or that no one will poison your water supply, or that your AWS service will always be up.

Perhaps we are no longer 90% in this space due to changing political climates but we were there before.
>I was interested to know how this fit together with Yugoslavia's ethnic conflict. Looks like it didn't really: It was just convenient chaos?

The historical origin of these ethnic conflicts goes back to the Ottoman empire conquering Slavic lands for the purpose of slave trade, particularly sex slaves. That this demand was ultimately driven by Albanian, Turkish, and Italian pimps has historical precedent. However whether this is a historical re-emergence or "convenient chaos" is orthogonal to my assertion. For example, it's the western European politicians who were hesitant to prosecute Albanian nightclubs because it would be politically incorrect. Just like it was politically correct to intervene in Yugoslavia. Different sides of the same coin. There's a realpolitik component to this softpower approach that's a real meatgrinder arguably worse than "war".
I think the difficulty is that for the vast majority of American history, marriages weren't really performed without any religious connotation. Hell, even legally, from what I understand, there was a time where marriages _had_ to be performed by a clergyman of some kind. Now, you're right, the religious association is technically optional, but it's worth remembering that for a very, very long time, marriage was as much a religious agreement as it was contractual.
Very honest and good faith question. Until when? What are the specific metrics for when we don't need masks or non-tweaked vaccines tailored to yearly variants like normal flu shots? At some point we need to say "if you are immunocompromised you need to take special precautions like you always did before covid". Just wondering out loud when that should be because for some of us it's sooner rather than later.
It wasn't a good-faith request for a scientific investigation. Australia's Prime Minister demanded that investigators with powers like "weapons inspectors" be sent into China, and the Australian government was promoting the lab-leak conspiracy theory in the background. If Morrison just wanted a scientific investigation, publicly declaring that China should be given the Iraqi-WMD-inspection treatment would not be the way to go.

This was at the same time that Trump switched from praising China's CoVID-19 response to bashing the country and blaming it for the uncontrolled outbreak in the US.

It was also around the same time that China reopened, after having virtually eliminated viral transmission, just to give some perspective.

Ooof. That's terrible. No wonder people think ARM chips can't go fast.
This is interesting but the author considers only one degree of freedom, "roll".

Equally important are "pitch" and "yaw".

"pitch" is necessary to accommodate another kind of rotation, known in HCI as "slouch".

"yaw" is important because sometimes your code is so elegant and impressive, that you need people walking by to see it more than you need to see it yourself. You use yaw to rotate your monitor away, toward the hallway or window.
I did a 55" 8k for a bit but that was too physically big so looking at the edges was weird. 43" is probably a lot better in that regard but for me that turned me off single large displays instead of arrays.

In the end I ended up with 6 displays in a 3x2 arrangement: 3x 1440p + 1x 4k on the primary PC and 1x 1440p + 1x 4k on the secondary PC and then I used Input Director so it feels like all 6 are one big computer when using the keyboard/mouse (used to use Mouse Without Borders but Input Director is far superior these days). I like this setup more because it gives me a larger primary monitor on each computer to work off of but leaves me separate monitors to put secondary things on. This comes with the bonus that fullscreen doesn't mean "and everything else must be gone" yet I still have the bigger primary display to fullscreen with.

General note I've fallen in love with https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B082845XM8/ as it's simple, cheap, and extremely sturdy.
Used it for a while, but unfortunately performance was degrading eventually (earlier version).

However I really miss one simple feature, that they have a search field above the vertical tabs that can be used to filter the tabs.
My major annoyance with Electron is every app shipping its own version of it, particularly on Linux where most distros tend to ship electron in the repositories. I'd really rather not have 5 different chromium versions - that are lacking security updates - on my system. I wish packagers were more aggressive about not bundling them.
> book itself seems to come from the beech tree

I wrote that explicitly ;)

Note also the other side: something is a "text" when it is textile in quality, in the context of elaborating the expression of ideas: you "weave" the expressions of your thoughts into a "text".

Also note that "liber" means bark like 'book' does (though on the technical, craft side of "peeling"), and "paper" clearly refers to papyrus.

You have terms for the container and terms for the content. The "book" is not a «specific physical representation», but is the side of the container.
