This is the correct take. At this point, since we've already vaccinated the only control groups we had in the trials, we no longer can draw valuable conclusions. The only statistic that we should now rely on, in order to account for all positives and negatives from government's COVID response (vaccinations, lockdowns, hysterics and tantrums) is year-over-year (preferably flu season) all cause mortality, in a specific location, for a specific population.
My dog fell asleep while I had episode 4 running (the end caught me by surprise, haha).

I mean, she would have fallen asleep anyway, I probably could not. The voice is a little unpleasant and I concentrate too much on the nonsensical stories. But I also can't really fall asleep when the TV is running, so YMMV.

Both introduce a version of a virus protein into your body and your body has to fight.

That you are used as the factory for the protein with mRNA doesn't make a big difference IMHO.
Because a CPU architecture does not exist in a vacuum and RISCV’s marketing is about being open, so I expect they are going to have the rest of the SOC as open as well. I guess it will be easy enough to have all the drivers part of Linux.

I agree, this is wishful thinking.
> Do it. The world will not shun a better open license ISA.

When you use a CPU architecture you don't just get an ISA.

You also get compilers and debuggers. Ready-to-run Linux images. JIT compilers for JavaScript and Java. Debian repos and Python wheels with binaries.

And you get CPUs with all the most complex features. Instruction re-ordering, branch prediction, multiple cores, multi-level caches, dynamic frequency and voltage control. You want an onboard GPU, with hardware 4k h264 encoding and decoding? No problem.

And you get a wealth of community knowledge - there are forum posts and StackOverflow questions where people might have encountered your problems before. If you're hiring, there are loads of engineers who've done a bit of stuff with that architecture before. And of course vendors actually making the silicon!

I've seen ISAs documented with a single sheet of A4 paper. The difficult part in having a successful CPU architecture is all the other stuff :)
Interesting concept. Two suggestions:

1- Don't host on anchor. Podcasting is an open standard. Don't let companies (like Spotify or Apple) take it over. Check https://podcastindex.org/

2- The voice is too mechanical for this to be actually reasonable to listen to at night, potentially could be listenable with AWS Polly Neural voices, it's pretty good.
It seems that (at least the new) ITA Matrix Search can do that as well: Once you select an airport (or city) as origin or destination, it gets added to a list of possible locations.

Being used to Kayak‘s comma syntax, I did not find this intuitive at first. But in fact, it is pretty convenient and powerful.
I am so spoiled by the Linux/Debian/Gnome OS which lets me pick and use the tools and workflows that work for me.

Windows and iOS are the exact opposite of that, they constantly push me towards their "ecosystem". Opting out of those is a constant battle.
Huh, weird. I got the small Dasung with a backlight, but I almost never use the backlight since avoiding that is one of the reasons I did get an E-Ink screen in the first place. You do need the room to be somewhat well lit, so in the mornings and evenings I'll turn on the overhead lights. Probably slightly harder to read than a book since the background isn't bleached white, but it's close-ish.
If only there was such a link on that page... Like Spotify, but maybe for "more platforms". If only... :-P
For those unfamiliar with ITA Matrix, it was for a long time the go-to flight search tool for the most dedicated flight hackers, points hackers, etc.

It was built by ITA Software [1][2] in the early-mid 2000s (the earliest mention I can find of it is in 2004 [3]) to test and showcase the capabilities of their flight search platform. I once heard that ITA and other consumer-facing flight search companies had tested that kind of UI with ordinary users, but found that not enough people understood or liked it enough for them to justify making it a mainstream interface.

Hipmunk, a YC-backed flight search site that launched in 2010, was heavily influenced by the ITA Matrix UI, after co-founder Adam Goldstein had found Matrix to be the best way for him to find flights when travelling around the world for college debating competitions. And while Hipmunk did a good job of being more consumer-friendly and popular than Matrix had been, sadly they didn't gain enough traction to make it as a standalone company, and after being acquired by SAP/Concur, it was shut down last year.

It's an interesting, and perhaps depressing case of a product design concept being far superior to what's available in the mainstream for a certain class of user, but cannot gain enough mainstream acceptance to be a viable business or even a well-supported service for those who love it. And far more than most other product categories, flight search has huge infrastructure costs, so it's very difficult to economically sustain niche products (from grim personal experience of being part of a team trying to build a novel flight search product ourselves).

In this case it's just lucky that Google owns the infrastructure and has enough enthusiasm internally to keep it going to some extent.

> The ~$350 billion that those extra shares would be worth don't matter?

Zuck has all power needed to decide if he wants those extra billions. I argue that he has no valuable reasons to want them and he's destroying his company's future by getting them. Amazon would never have become what it is now if Bezos managed it this way, and Facebook would be much, much more powerful if Zuck managed it the way Bezos did.

> Disliking FB/Meta ≠ FB/Meta being irrelevant. There are billions of users left to come online and odds are that Meta products will be amongst the first they use.

Being relevant ≠ having users. Yahoo! had hundred millions of users long after it stopped being relevant. Like Yahoo! Facebook is now running almost exclusively on its inertia, and every year short-profit guided decisions are actually harming Facebook's position.
Try reducing your screen's refresh rate to mimic that of an eInk display. Interacting with the machine becomes a horrible chore. Every input feels laggy and sluggish. It's hard to control the pointer. Even at 30Hz it becomes very difficult to focus on the actual tasks because the computer doesn't seem to respond to your commands.
If you do not chase the thoughts or try to actively think it should stop sometimes and not think all the time.

If I understand the article correct then rest is not about “not thinking”. Rest can also be about engagement (for example sports or a making music). Just using different parts of your brain which are usually not directly used for work.

If it never stops thinking try meditation practice, it will help after a couple times already (for me at least).

Also sometimes it can be good to “reset” the brain by going into the wilderness or a retreat or have a day nap.
How would I have known if I didn’t click?

Did I want to complain? No, I wanted to listen to it.
I'm as much of a fan of the potentials of this technology as anyone, but it really look like it's terrible to use as a main display even for non-multimedia applications.

I.e. try setting your mouse or keyboard to have even 50-100ms of lag, a lot of people would find that very distracting to use even for just using a terminal Emacs/Vim & for writing plain-text.

There's a reason these things are being marketed as "secondary displays", which makes perfect sense.

In terms of cost I really don't see why anyone would want to do it differently anyway. A 20" LCD is dirt-cheap these days, so if you're already spending 5x or 10x that on the same size of E-Ink display why not get both?
Yeah I really don't know. It was a genuine question.

> We propose a remedy in the form of a tax on property, based on the value self-assessed by its owner at intervals, along with a requirement that the owner sell the property to any third party willing to pay a price equal to the self-assessed value.

I’m not convinced this would be a good fit for copyright in general, but it sounds very problematic for application to private persons in any field; in this case, your small-time writer would surely either overpay, or undervalue and have their work legally stolen from them by a Disney. Sounds like it’d favour the big entities that can play to the laws of averages.

But more generally, Harberger taxation seems a pretty cool concept, a genuine alternative to the current model of capitalism. I’m glad you mentioned it!
I like the idea behind IP of protecting small companies from larger companies that just copy them and then have the budget to just out market the smaller company into bankruptcy. Large companies don't need this protection as they have the marketing budget to compete with smaller or other large companies.

The issue I see is that intellectual property is too complicated and expensive for small companies to use that only large companies actually use it and they use it to abuse smaller companies.

I think the best REAL solution for small companies is to just get rid of intellectual property all together. IP didn't stop facebook from just copying snapchat or countless others, Microsoft, Google and Apple are all the same doing it too.

Remove IP laws an smaller companies will be able to look at cool stuff Larger companies do and innovate on it. China isn't ham strung by IP like this if we in the west want to keep up with China, we need to be able to continuously improve on our innovations and IP prevents this.
My experience in the UK. Seeing more and more Torx though. Much prefer it to Pozidrive!

Torx really should be used with an electrical screwdriver with a clutch though or you risk snapping the screws if you over tighten.

Philips and Pozidrive are designs to ride out before snapping the screw head off.
I'm not trying to minimise the pandemic, I'm pointing out obvious ways that it is exaggerated, such as lacking basic statistical scrutiny and throwing around huge scary numbers with no comparison or explanation.

Another example from the media (now I am shifting goal posts, but defending my point of proving that it's exaggerated and manipulative): Why are they reporting running totals of number of deahts? And making big headlines of when they reach "new grim milestones"? How is that not a completely irrelevant manipulative misinterpretation? A running total of deaths, really? When will that ever go down? And using that to support a case that "things are getting worse" somehow.
Okay, you convinced me that it should (inter-subjectivly) count not as a real false positive as I first thought.

Nevertheless, when I try to analyze what is going on here, I would rather use the word "context" instead of "subjectivity", since I think (or at least hope) that my surprise to find this brand on place #2 in my Google results for "philosophy" is shared by quite a lot of people who lack the context to give it meaning, because this brand is unknown to them. I have the excuse that it is a North American brand irrelevant in my German context. Interestingly, when I search for "philosophy" on amazon.com (without refining the search), I get almost exclusively beauty products and related items as a result, but when I search for "philosophy" on amazon.de it is only books. Google nevertheless has the beauty brand as #2 in Germany. Can we agree that Amazon is better at considering the context of the search for "philosophy" than Google?

As an aside: Your "amazon" example reminds me when I was searching for "Davidson" expecting to find information about Donald Davidson, but received a lot of results about Harley-Davidson. (But since I was aware of the importance of this brand, it was understandable to me.)

Last time I checked changing repository visibility required confirmation and manually typing in the name of the repository to confirm.
So it's not exactly "one click".

I also just reviewed the message being shown, it does state that stars are lost:

Unless they have some wizz-bang new tech that no one else is using yet, which they would shout about if they were, with eInk you can pretty much say “if your use case makes you care much about refresh rates then eInk isn't a good choice for you ATM”.
If you're curious about this, it's an interesting story: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel_Qi and I still want a device with one
What if they made the display modular, so that you could swap it with a regular display for when you want to do gaming and other stuff like that?

I personally would buy an e-ink laptop, but then again I'm very much into e-ink, I have a Kindle and ReMarkable 2, years ago I also bought DPT-S1 but I returned it because it was too expensive.

Also colour e-ink displays have been getting better and better too! So I'm sure that in time, it'll be amazing!
Definitively going to get my booster shot lol.

On my iphone it pretty reliably charges up to 80%, waits a few hours and then charges to 100% when I put it on the charger for the night.

On my m1 air I’ve only known it to charge to 80% after a period of several weeks where it was docked. As soon as I started using it away from power for significant amounts of time it went back to charging to 100%.
Good point. Here's the same image desaturated: https://i.imgur.com/jBCZGEO.png

Having every previously analog device around us turn into a puppet of the police state is not a solution to a problem. It’s the basis for a series of new problems. And like all of these nanny state mandates, we end up paying the bill.

You know that's just an article providing an overview, right? It's not the official source of excess mortality statistics.

For that, each country maintains an official group that has access to death certificates and other records when preparing statistics. The figure I quoted, for instance, is from the South African Medical Research Council, who publish their methodology. There's also EuroMOMO and many others.

Did you really think that statisticians and scientists have just magically forgotten about how to do basic statistics, for decades, when preparing these reports?
I didn't much love hosting on Anchor/Spotify, but I made this in half an hour and I didn't want to have to get into RSS/site generation. Do you know of an easy way to dump audio files and some metadata somewhere and get a Podcast with RSS? I can upload there as well.

I'll try Polly, thanks! The current voice annoys me too.

> maximizing to fill the whole screen makes less and less sense

I guess that was the point of having "windows" in the first place. Per TFA:

> Websites and documents usually end up with a lot of whitespace and padding around them

This only happens if you needlessly maximise; windows are supposed to fit their content, not their container†. (Yes I realise that the article is in jest, yet I see so many people complaining about "poor app/web design" when all you need to do is not maximise on a wide enough screen. I smell Horror Vacui[0])

> When I ran multiple monitors I often designated one

In my case this ends up with me having a single screen for work and the other(s) mostly unused††; the ROI of the extra screen(s) thus drops extremely quickly. With a typical two-screen symmetric setup this also means my head/eyes have a constant bias in one direction, which means RSI quite quickly. Plus having things ever so slightly move in my peripheral vision triggers my reptilian emergency reflexes which goes contra to the goal of focusing.

I've noticed that "maximisers" are typically using two or more screens as they would use windows. To be fair I'm not bashing on "maximisers" at all, I just view the thing as with coffee: there are the dippers and the non-dippers, and to each his own, but when I see people arguing/complaining I'd rather point out that they should use a setup matching their preference and not try to force others into some "enlightenment".

I do blame (in jest) the "maximiser" mindset for the flurry of apps with huge "content" that basically forces you to maximise yet end up reinventing ad-hoc window management inside the app, only poorly and inconsistently.

† Which is the default behaviour of the "maximise" (a.k.a "zoom" in Apple HIG parlance) green plus traffic light on macOS, that you now have to reach to with Option.

†† The only use case I found possibly interesting is looking at documentation over there, which in practice I found equally efficient to have on either a separate virtual desktop, or on an iPad.

Not locked up. My wife, and most of our friends are either RNs, MDs, PAs, etc.
We've had COVID. Now my wife is dealing directly with people who are dealing with adverse reactions to the vaccines they took (many of them nurses and doctors themselves experiencing neurological symptoms continuing for months and months at a time, and not allowed to speak about it for fear of losing their licensure).
I only ask because it seems unreasonable to me to fear a virus that only meaningfully impacts .3% to .5% of your population. So, why not answer? Why are you afraid of the unvaccinated?
>There is a decent market for rigid (heavy) 20-30" ~100 dpi panels as desktop monitors.

Do you have a source for these claims?

Looking at what seels well today, and what most average consumers go for, it's bigger screens with high pixel density. Low pixel density displays are mostly found in bottom of the barrel, discount bin products whith poor margins for their manufacturers, so the market has already spoken with their money in this regard and separated the winners from the losers.

So I think, that market you think of, exists only for you.

>Lowering the pixel density would certainly increase the yield

That's not how yealds work here. Small display sizes gives you good yealds and affordable price. That's why you mostly see them on electronic shelf labels and ebook readers.

That's why large e-ink displays, like the remarkable tablet, are so expensive.

Was that an artificial load test? The heaviest continuous load I’ve put my m1 air under was playing one of the tomb raider games, which puts a heavy load on cpu and gpu, and it still lasted 3 to 4 hours on battery.
According to my doctor and my eyes state since I've started using M1 air it doesn't matter which frequency was used by the idiot who decided that PWM is a good idea to regulate brightness of the monitor.

Also there is 60Hz flickering that doesn't go away with any brightness level.

I think it is especially bright idea to design a working monitor and then spoil it with PWM rendering it unusable. I personally consider it as a fraud and the essence of disrespecting people.
I spend many hours of text editing / word processing on an Onyx Boox Max2, 13.3'', and have no problem with ghosting. It depends on the so-called "waveform", or firmware level algorithms for dot switching (and it's probably using Regal, though I am not sure about the details): I would say really almost-zero problems with text rendering (and update).
It's arbitrary.

I have a field, post_status, in my backend database, that I use to categorize posts. Each category is a numeric code so SQL can filter it relatively quickly. I have statuses for active posts, dead posts, ignored links, links needing review, etc.

It's a way for me to sort through my scraper's results quickly.

Have you tried editing text files on iOS and copying them to another machine without an online service? On every other OS you have OpenSSH and some text editor installed already, on iOS the easiest thing to do is install iSH but it's still pretty painful since it's slow and can't see everything.
Haha, that's actually the vibe I was going for, thanks!
I'm surprised that the button-switch under butt pillow worked as well as it did in my setup, I've been using it for over a year but I've made the software-setup unnecessarily complicated and so I'm rewriting it to be a single module with some bells and whistles.

Nope. You may think you are, but in reality you're ignorant of how these statistics are calculated and you that's why you think you're smart for finding what you think are mistakes. This has, actually, all been taken into account, and more, for excess mortality statistics.

I'd recommend you spend some more time learning how the scientists and statisticians calculating these figures actually work, and maybe speak to a few, before commenting further.
Alpha and PA-RISC died before the smartphone revolution (end 90s vs mid 00s). x86-32 killed them, before AMD64 (x86-64) took off.

Laptops were all x86-32/64. There has been an UltraSPARC laptop (one AFAIK), and Apple switched away from POWER because of power inefficiency. Also before the smartphone revolution.

Intel was busy with Moblin and PowerTOP back in the 00s. This before iPhone.

MIPS and RISC-V also exist. Without ARM it would've happened but slower/later.
