GP I was responding to claimed SA was a breeding ground for variants. Unless he has a new explanation different from the other hundreds of people with this claim, it eventually rests on a non leaky vaccine.

And that’s why I started with this claim. Now, if you have an explanation as to why SA would be a better breeding ground for variants, I would love to hear it.

If you read my post in context, you would likely have noticed that, so I’ll wait till you do and if you have more questions I’ll consider answering them.
You're trying to find data to fit your pre-determined conclusion. We're dealing with different variants now, which are more contagious.

Forgive my cynicism but this isn't even scratching the surface of the problem(s). The narrative of the blog post makes it sound like a biblical win against an intergalactic army but in reality the main problems still persist: While social media giants focus on large networks on misinformation, smaller networks are thriving like never before in history. That is a lot coming from someone born and raised in a country ruled by communism for 45 years(technically more but let's spare the details). Decentralization is beating the giants big time - they never bother to look at what happens in smaller countries or communities. It's not even damage control at this point. Take my country for instance: I steer clear of social media, but it only takes one click and the only thing I see are oceans of conspiracy theories and misinformation - from covid being the work of Bill Gates himself, to vaccines are population control mechanism to destroy the human reproductive system and perform genocide on us, to oxygen masks causing lung burns(yes, a week ago a 27 year old died after refusing an oxygen mask in hospital because according to him oxygen caused lung burns). On one hand that is one of the most worthy candidates for a Darwin award but we are no longer talking about isolated cases. Social media platforms are making issues(like covid for example) magnitudes worse then they actually are. As I've said multiple times before, the hobo standing on a wooden crate on the main square 20 years ago became an intellectual, teacher and leader with one tool only - a cheap second hand smartphone.
This is like saying that Tor is specifically designed to buy drugs. It is designed for privacy, just like Tornado.cash is. Privacy can be used for many things.
So this (at least in theory) should be covered by kubernetes operators.
Yeah it's fundamentally kind of just confusing. My thinking is they can't really think of a real harm of people wearing masks, so they just go with an amorphous scary one and hope nobody notices that it basically makes no sense.
Absolutely. I know lots of companies have rolled their own. I'm unaware of a public one. I've been meaning to write one myself, maybe I'll do that this weekend.
I think your observation points to the fact that Covid must be stopped globally. No country is safe until all countries (who allow international travel) are safe.

> For many decades, research on effects on living tissue of nano-currents and varying electromagnetic fields was effectively forbidden in the US. Trying to pursue it led to canceled grants, dis-invitation to conferences, and denial of tenure. (The electric power industry might be responsible: they wanted no chance of interference in their choices of transmission line routing.)

This smells of shady occultment by people (and organizations) unknown (by their choice) due to reasons "best" kept away from the public. Emphasis on we do not know because we're prevented from knowing by means of "canceled grants, dis-invitation to conferences, and denial of tenure"

This kind of thing induces massive distrust (from me) of official (government and state) organizations. Such distrust is problematic mostly for me until many other people also reason their way into this massive distrust. Now it's a social problem so them who hide things (whose factualness is most certainly a baseless assumption) must respond to the consequences of their choice to limit spread of knowledge.

Disney+ Scrubs ‘The Simpsons’ Episode with Tiananmen Square Joke from Hong Kong
Being unvaccinated is a pre-existing condition. It should inform treatment strategies the same way other co-morbidities might. And since being vaccinated produces better outcomes that result in a decrease in medical costs (which overwhelming evidence indicates it does), higher premiums for unvaccinated is a good idea. It's the best approach to encouraging vaccination, in fact. But the entire premise of raising premiums for unvaccinated people assumes people should bear any financial responsibility for their own healthcare (and consequently, any financial responsibility for their own health-related choices).

But if unvaccinated people pay higher premiums, then that logic would follow that other pre-existing conditions might be met with increases premiums. And to continue the logic, some ethnic groups have higher incidences of certain diseases. Should they pay higher premiums or would that be branded discriminatory?

And so politics enters the fray. And another good idea is crushed under the weight of vote-seeking, political correctness, and the desire to punish wrongthink.

C#: Demystifying the Ref Keyword
Seems very unlikely, at least until near the end of the product's lifetime. CDE and the underlying infrastructure were implemented in network-oriented and not-very-efficient ways that would not have been very compatible with contemporary PCs let alone the C64 where GEOS started. The SunOS (not Solaris yet) build requirement was a different reflection of that capability gap, similar to why I had to use a PC to develop software for an even less powerful Apple IIgs at around the same time. The appearance might have been similar, perhaps even deliberately, but copying the implementation would not have been a route to even the minimal success they had.

I've had bing as a default on mobile for a couple years now. And I have google, bing and ddg as defaults on different browsers (chrome, safari, ff, IIRC). Trying to mix it up decently, and bing for my mobile searches hasn't been bad at all.

FWIW, people still often react weirdly when I tell them to 'bing' something. "When was that movie released?" "I dunno, just bing it". Reactions are usually confusion, mild amusement, but sometimes I've had some weird aggressive/anger issues emerge when I've suggested someone use bing. Strange...

Social media and young people's mental health and wellbeing(2017) [pdf]
This sounds an awful lot like a portal that was so popular around 2000. That’s the way it used to be. You’d setup a personal portal on Yahoo or MSN or iGoogle or whomever provided your email. Then you’d load up whatever widgets you wanted and placed them in an organized grid. News and fresh content was populated by RSS and you’d have you own personal start page on the Internet.

The goal for any portal site was to convince you to spend more time on the portal (this is how we got {Yahoo,Google} news). The more time on the portal was more ad impressions they could sell. Social media didn’t like sharing content this way and so portals became significantly less popular.

I’d forgotten how much I’d missed those.
i look at advancements like this in Windows and think it's really cool.

But after spending so many years, especially in the late 90s and early 2000s, getting shit from a bunch of khaki wearing, corporate butt kissing MSCE types about how Linux is "get what you pay for" and constantly mocking that all this "free software can't do anything"

and then sitting back and watching Linux empowering cloud computing, Unix/Linux being the basis of all our mobile devices, being the base for most IoT, watching the explosion of Docker and tons of other toolsets all initially rooted in the Unix/Linux ecosystem, watching Unix/Linux become a tool that developers heavily relied on either Linux on the server or Linux/MacOS on the desktop/laptop...

watching Microsoft do things like making Notepad use Unix EOL characters, supporting MS SQL on Linux hosts, expanding PowerShell to perform all kinds of tasks easily done by Unix/Linux for over a decade, creating a knock off of apt and yum with "win-get", making it super easy to install a whole Linux ecosystem within Windows itself, doing everything they can to make using GIT on windows, an easy experience, and so forth and so on..

and i just can't help being figuratively stick up my middle finger. Not just to MS as a company but to all the clowns that mocked Linux and Unix guys for literally 20 some odd years. Not just peers and co-workers, but managers, upper level managers all the way to CTOs who reluctantly realized Linix solutions were a better fit in some areas and were won over by lower management.

At this juncture - i don't even particularly like desktop computing, no matter the flavor. It's all frustrating in their own ways - including my precious Linux.

Ask HN: Code collab for teaching non-CS majors web JavaScript/HTML/CSS?
I teach a college-level intro to html/css/js to mostly business majors. We can get by with VSCode doing livereload on a single machine or liveshare on multiple machines, but not both because Univ IT blocks liveshare's public port broadcast. Teaching them Git would burn 1-2 class sessions, but might be worth it -- not sure.

Is there a way to satisfy these reqs?

1. Provides live-sharing (2+ students code from separate machines in the same file)

2. Supports auto-reload on each machine without public port binding (Univ IT blocks port broadcast)

3. Is an IDE or IDE extension

4. Keeps some sort of version history

5. Syncs a local copy of the files on each machine* (nice to have)
What faults to you find in Firefox, when compared to Chrome?

I switched a year ago and I was emotionally prepared to fight a rough battle with problematic websites, incompatible apps and so on. I was very positively surprised. The only major PITA was the fact that I had to define MIME types for downloadable documents that I wanted to save by default - the usual box "remember this option" was missing for .mkv and the like. So far, this was the only major complaint on my part. Everything else was very positive, especially the containers, no forced Google logins everywhere, the availability of extensions that Google doesn't like (like Ad Nauseam) and so on. I wouldn't go back even if someone paid me (OK let's be honest: I'd do it if I was paid more than €1000 a year).
The UK has roughly equivalent covid deaths per capita as the USA, where vast parts of the country never locked down and still by and large don't wear masks or get vaccinated.

> Incrementalism is a real thing

And so is the slippery slope fallacy.

If you can normalize something like seatbelt wearing, there's a strong psychological effect. There's a sort of built-in obedience that's a clear signal to those around you. Life jackets also come to mind.

Measles, mumps and rubella are deadly killers. We should probably go ahead and mandate that vaccine too, while we're at it. Oh wait, we already do with school kids. Have done for decades.

And on. And on.

Human beings love to see patterns. In reality A does not necessarily lead to B, and to C. You can evaluate individual decisions according to how beneficial they are and say yes or no.
I'm the exaxt opposite. Before wearing a mask I would routinely have trouble keeping my glasses on. When I wear a mask it's actually easier to wear glasses because I can hook the sides into the ear loops and they won't fall off when I look down.

What is exactly works great about it?

It is useless. Also this is what I have to deal with instead of my homepage opened.

I cannot open my homepage from local file on a new tab and they do not fix it for years.

What should happen in their strange brains to understand that this is basic functionality and it is not working! If home page doesn't work the browser doesn't work.

Homepage from local file can be opened on a first tab. It is a bug if firefox can't do the same on a next tab. How difficult to comprehend this for firefox team?

Phone OSes got/get away with it because they came out of the gate doing it. MS and Apple have been trying to convert their PC OSes into the same thing ever since. They're envious of Chrome OS. "Compatibility", "standards based" and "open platform" used to be badges of honor. In my opinion, MS and Google would be better off sticking to being open, because if everyone is forced to chose between walled gardens, Apple is going to beat them both every single time.

the thing that might be more interesting for HN users is that she basically has no presence on Twitter or Facebook. Instagram and TikTok seem to be king for monetizing anything. Twitter and Facebook have horrible organic reach and make it hard to grow without paying.

>Ah! so that is what responsible gun owner's gun safety looks like - 2 dead 1 wounded

I know you’re being sarcastic, but *yes*, that is responsible gun safety in a scenario where deadly force is required (which is why he was acquitted). Kyle exercised an incredible measure of discipline in his restraint—not shooting wildly into a mob that was overtaking him, only firing on those who were attacking him. Show me a police bodycam video where the officer is equally restrained.

Btw I agree that the so-called-armoror was inexperienced and immature. I can only imagine why a producer would so irresponsibly hire her? Wait..wasn’t the executive producer of that film also the main actor that pointed a gun at a crew member and pulled the trigger?
I may be mixing up timelines here, but a C64 with 1571 and a RAM expansion (REU) would approach a cheap PC clone in price, so not much use if the main goal was to use GEOS. It's also easy to forget that PCs had 100% flicker free, sharp monochrome monitors (slow decay phosphor) and a C64 monitor or TV would flicker like hell in comparison.
I wasn't really focused so much on where in the brain the two types of attention were located. It may be as he describes it in the video, or it may not.

For meditation, however, I feel strongly that the goal is to achieve a balanced state of mind, and the balance is as I understand it, is between these two types of attention.

I love earthly! It has been a joy to use.

One thing I haven’t gotten right is caching. Some of my builds have targets they depend on that are very expensive but rarely change, and I haven’t been able to make sense of when those targets are (re)computed and when they aren’t. This results in many builds taking a long time, when the targets could be reused from a cache.

Earthly is also missing something that I find to be a glaring omission from make—give me a command to simply list the targets in an Earthfile. ‘earthly ls’? Maybe have a column or two that indicates whether the target saves an image or artifact. When building a project I didn’t author, it’d be so helpful for the targets to be discoverable.

My experience with 11 is that is just like 10 but with bad UI changes. 11 is stable and runs everything I need.
