You can't. The courts are blocking vaccine mandates. Ergo you are indeed being asked to take a risk on behalf of your employers in exchange for absolutely nothing. I thought by now we would at least have required electronically verified vaccination status to fly but we can't even manage that so it seems the workplace is a lost cause.

> Rather, it has seemed to me that rural folks live closer to nature than urban folks, and have often had firsthand experience that mother nature tends to be nasty and brutish

WTF does that have to do with anything? The vast majority of humanity doesn't, as you so astutely observed, live anywhere near nature. So nature being "nasty and brutish" is absolutely irrelevant to most people. This deep insight you seem to think rural people have is not so much insight as delusion.

> That's an experience which tends to create what they would consider (IMHO) a much more pragmatic idea of what it takes to survive in the world.

Sure, if you're a Real Outdoorsman™ you have a better chance of surviving being plonked down naked and alone in the middle of the jungle. But who lives in a world where that's relevant in any way? (A: Conservatives, in their fantasy world.)
I like sci-fi actions and cheese one liners. None of the slow, pretentious artsy shit. But... I really, really like the The Man from Earth

But if the object is rigid, and the acceleration is through its center of mass, then there isn't any rotational component, right?
>>Is there a limit to how many years after one dies that one’s remains or grave can be disturbed?

One gazillion years for a scumbag taking the head to his basement and destroying bones.

Graves can be moved if determined by the government, of course, but with dignity. That is totally different from some jerk deciding to desecrate graves. In a lot of countries that can send the desecrater to his own grave. If the law doesn't act, family will.
It could be true that obese have 4 times higher death rate. Note that obesity often comes together with diabetes and cardiovascular diseases which increase the risk even more.

Vaccines are effective, they reduce death rate approximately 10 times. It still seemed quite high that several EU countries have reintroduced restrictions despite good vaccination uptake.

Besides this is about long-term issues, not just covid or something we can fix in 1 or 2 years.
> Maybe it's because you have your funding source as your bank account
I originally had it tied to a debit card, but for some reason Privacy.com forced me to provide a bank account about a year after I started it. I asked support why and they couldn't give me a good answer other than my credit union is no longer supported (though I think the agent I spoke with was blowing smoke and it might have had something to do with my always-on VPN).

Have you been asked to provide an SSN with the latest change?
I remember hearing that university was supposed to be for being exposed to different points of view, learning how to debate reasonably, learning how to not take excessive offense at rebukes and setbacks, etc. That a university degree was supposed to mean that you had proven to have developed those traits. Not anymore - I guess now it means being indoctrinated into ideological conformity and being smashed if you dare to disagree.

As someone that has used Hasura very heavily in the past, I can see the operational benefit of not needing to manage one more service.

The talk about memory constraints seems a bit odd though. The extension is still going to require memory and without profiling the alternatives it seems odd to say: "we won't use any more memory with an extension". Especially when you say "these established/stable alternatives fulfill all our feature requirements". In practice I always found Hasura to be reasonably lightweight (I can't speak for PostGraphile).

I think there's an advantage to running this API layer as an additional service in front of the DB though. Then it can act as an API gateway to more than just your database.

Also, the generation of a "Relay style" schema is off putting for me. I'm really not a fan of the style and was one of the biggest advantages for me in using Hasura.
> Like seriously can you imagine trying to sell a laptop that is unable to watch any media, play any games and has the refresh rate / perceived performance of a 15 year old tablet.

In a word: yes. But I was 10 or 11 years old before we had a color TV.
I think it's the same as trying to form any other habit intentionally.

Have a bed that you sleep in.

Don't do anything in that bed other than sleep. If you are laying trying to sleep and find you cannot, get out of that bed and go elsewhere.

This trains you to associate that bed with sleep and nothing else. It makes it so that when you go there in the future you have an ingrained habit that tells you it is time to sleep. Even reading in bed screwed it up for me.

I think basically the same approach fits any other activity. If you want to get deeply in the flow for learning karate you have a dojo that you associate with it. You get way less distracted because you only do one thing there.

I think sleep or laying still and meditating is about the most useful kind of rest for me, so I originally mostly talked about sleep. I think that the ability to get deeply into a task is generally strongly associated with environmental cues. Bowing before you start karate practice is a formal way to move into deep practice, even if you're practicing on your own.
I wonder if this is a limitation on how humans conceptualize Chess. Do games played with computers either vs human or another computer frequently end in draws?

If not, maybe there is some insight to be gained to raise high level play even more.
Germany: New government locks down unvaxxed, mulls mandatory Covid vax
Ironic considering there's another headline about Germany on the first page stating that Germany wants to enshrine encryption and privacy and anonymity as rights. Ah, so they are champions of people's rights in Germany? Meanwhile they assault people's bodily autonomy as a prerequisite for putting food on the table and participating in society and normal living. They even presume to tell you how many people can gather in your household now and under what conditions.

“Under rules announced Thursday, gatherings are limited to “one household” plus two other people, if those among them include people who are unvaccinated or who have not recently recovered from covid-19”

How much longer will people tolerate this authoritarianism?Where are all the tech antifascist activists who were staging walkouts and protests in so many tech companies over the last few years? Where are all the developers who were so up at arms about making sure that fascism in the workplace is stamped out? Do none of you have teams or coworkers in these countries or from these countries? I see almost no complaints or protests or mentions of the collapse of Australian, Austrian, and German democracies in tech circles or in the mass media. If anything, I see some bureaucrats wishing they could muster this kind of power in other countries too.

Everyone everywhere needs to stand up and say something before it's too late. Your politicians in these countries, insofar as they are wielding this power and not fighting against it, are not your friends. They do not care about your health or your children. It's not about public health. It's about control and surveillance.
Domain driven no-code future
So now Carlsen is heavily encouraged to play for a draw in the next 8 games?
Well, in this case the difference is between two statements:

* The state grants citizens the right to encrypt data

* The state cannot infringe upon the right of people to encrypt data.

These two statements have important differences. Philosophically, the difference is that in the positive rights model, government is the source of rights, and if the government did not exist, you would not have this right. In the negative rights model, the source of rights is man's natural free will, and the government's declaration of rights is an enumeration of an existing right he already had (and yes, I'm conflating negative and natural rights, I apologize, but the point is still true).

It seems pretty obvious that encryption is more accurately a negative right -- if you were the last human on earth, alone in the desert, you would of course have the right to encrypt a message you carve into a stone (who could stop you?).

This is in contrast to a positive right like "the right to housing". The "right to housing" is an entitlement that the government promises they are going to provide to all citizens. All citizens, even those who cannot afford or build one on their own, are given a home if they want one.

It is further clear when you look at what would happen if these two examples were reversed. If government grants the right to encrypt data, then what would happen if there was no government? Do you suddenly stop being able to do encryption? This would make no sense.

Similarly, if you were too weak or lacked the materials to build a house yourself (as the last man alive wandering the desert), nobody would naturally grant it to you. A house does not simply materialize through free will alone.

This suggests to me without a doubt that the right to encryption should be considered a negative right (and you should certainly believe this too). The only debate is whether the distinction matters in a practical sense -- this is where the libertarians will probably argue that it does, and I would certainly agree with them, but that argument is a lot more complex and subjective. In this case it's a little easier since the specifics/vagueries of this specific law leaves quite a bit to be desired over the obvious negative rights version of it.
Just the various tribes waving their respective flags.
Huhhh, I'm a huge epic games fan, I've used UE4 for years prior... but having to download another "steam" client for DRMs makes it a huge turn off.

I don't need another launcher agent on my computer for your auto-update telemetry loving nonsense, for trying out a game I might not even like!
Heh. People differ. I'm perfectly fine never going into my local office which isn't a bad commute (well, one is one isn't). But one of the improvements to my quality of life this fall has been getting back to attending trade events and seeing people.
I made a batch that I let sit for a year. After the year I would describe it as disgusting, bordering on inedible. I still don't know whether I screwed up or just don't have a taste for it, but I haven't tried it twice.

Edit: Reading the sibling's Kenji link, which references TFA, I definitely agree with these sentences:

> Julia Thiel of the Chicago Reader claimed that year-old nog had "more depth and complexity of flavor," but that "the booziness made it a little difficult to drink."

> Thiel's assessment is most in agreement with my own. The nog was definitely more complex—new flavors had developed that are not present in fresh nog—but the booziness came strongly to the forefront.
That's not what the law says. Btw, not only in Germany: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_Holocaust_denial

A slightly different formulation:

"All of that is pointless. You're inevitably going to be exposed to ionizing radiation many times throughout your life regardless of what your employer does. Whether you're exposed in the office or somewhere else hardly matters."

Viral loading matters a great deal.

For some definition of 'minimal', for most people, this is thankfully very true.
Exactly, genius.
>Coca-Cola produces valuable goods, if you choose to take an action that results in the bottle floating out to sea, it's your fault, you don't get to blame Coca-Cola. That is what I mean by personal responsibility.

So in your ideal world it is 100% personal responsibility and 0% corporate responsibility, right?

"Phillip Morris produces valuable goods, if you choose to take an action that leads to your body growing a tumour, it's your fault, you don't get to blame Phillip Morris."

Corporations like Coca-Cola have successfully pushed the negative externalities of their product into the world we all have to live in, while keeping the profits.
Why are you resisting installing steams first real competition which gives devs a bigger cut and regularly throws free games at you?
Because, and I do not think I can stress that enough, science is not a religion. It is not a movement or a cause. And I am concerned that you are worried more about the 'good' derived from uhomitting a bad word might cause than about exploring and describing reality for what it is.
While this makes me very nervous, and I question the motives... we already have things like the state police, which are independent of the FBI.

And the stated purpose is for emergencies like hurricanes (and pandemics). Well, if you were Florida, would you want to be dependent on federal response to a hurricane? (Look at the federal response to the last several major hurricanes before answering.)

And if you want a different response to Covid than the federal strategy, when the feds seem determined to try to force their approach down everybody's throat, then you may need something different for that, too. (Whether that's the right response is a separate question.)
Riffing off the $200 plywood and rubber band supersonic trebuchet was where I was going - e.g. if you used higher quality materials and a few thousand dollars, could you launch a 1kg steel ball into orbit? A 500g payload? Could you use ceramics for ablative shielding designed to break open in orbit, hatching a useful cubesat type device?

The idea of hobbyist level engineering achieving orbital escape velocities is the scary bit.

The design space equations used by the trebuchet guy could answer the questions, I think.
Vishy Sir during the end game commentary said that the engines say it’ll be a draw.

I am not from the US but I did appear for the SAT. The books are more than enough to get a very good score on the SAT. In my opinion, SAT is not difficult enough for coaching to make a very big difference.
> doesn't mean they knew about this

Mitigating but not exonerating. (Also, unknown and possibly unknowable.) NSO are still selling cyberweapons hitting the United States. If they didn't give a shit about keeping an eye on their kit, that's a negligent gap in oversight by Jerusalem.

It's a good thing we have a talking-not-shooting relationship with Israel. The U.S. would be within its rights to launch a proportional counterattack were that not the case. If Israel doesn't deal with this properly, there's a decent chance we'll see calls for criminal penalties and targeted sanctions.

> Being in a program for gifted for me made the difference between being thrown out of a school because I never did the homework and being invited and having my flights paid to a conference in Japan where I gave a presentation while in the last grade of school.

The state can provide this without believing you have a naturally innate ability in mathematics. They can still construct programs for people who are performing better in math.

The discussion is about innate talent, not whether we treat people who do well in math differently.
> The real problem in high school is motivating average to below-average students who want to be anywhere but in class.

And that is the real problem for parents looking for an "accelerated" track at school.

All they really want is a program that will challenge their kids and surround them with an equally motivated peer group that has a goal of getting into a selective university.

That is what drives private school enrollment, selecting public schools in areas with high property tax revenues, and accelerated tracks within public schools with lower socio-economic status.
Free Markets Provide the Best Feedback

I believe there is some precedent for interpreting implied multiplication as having a higher precedence than division [1]. The interesting thing, is that Wikipedia makes note of an Internet meme [2] based on this which uses the exact mathematical phrase `8/2(2+2)`. Based on this, I believe Wendys was very intentionally hoping to spark engagement based on a known controversial equation.

A good example of the Cartelisation of the telecom industry in India by its private players.

> What is a Cartel?

> Cartel is defined in section 2, clause (c) of The Competition Act, 2002:

> “Cartel” includes an association of producers, sellers, distributors, traders or service providers who, by agreement amongst themselves, limit, control or attempt to control the production, distribution, sale or price of, or, trade in goods or provision of services;’

> Cartels are agreements between enterprises (including a person, a government department and association of persons / enterprises) not to compete on price, product (including goods and services) or customers. The Act gives a detailed definition of an enterprise in section 2 (h). The objective of a cartel is to raise price above competitive levels, resulting in injury to consumers and to the economy. For the consumers, cartelisation results in higher prices, poor quality and less or no choice for goods or/and services.

Is there work in AI/ML that is working to try and do this? Watching one of FlyCat's timelapses, I have no idea how you would go about that but it's incredible to dream of the possibility.
It's stunning how often things like this get wildly upvoted. The video shows nothing at all about "YouTube deleting comments who criticize their hiding of the dislike count"; the guy shows a comment of his that has nothing to do with the dislike count getting deleted, although he asserts without evidence that this is related to a different comment he made (which was not deleted) regarding the dislike count. A lot of people are successfully exploiting HN to spread false stories about controversial events.
Very cool project!
That would be great if I could drag the mouse to draw instead of just clicking.
An "export area" would be a nice-to-have feature in the future as well.

English Teenager Finds Bronze Age Ax Using a Metal Detector
Even AMVA3 goes to 5000:1, and that's just a "normal" LCD panel, usually used edgelit from my experience with them.
The default brightness of a monitor is optimised for looking good in a brightly-lit showroom (and also for stressing the backlight enough to ensure it fails just outside of warranty, but I digress...), not for comfortable reading in an average room.

I started with brightness and contrast set to 0 on a pair of LCDs over a decade ago, and they've only gone up to around 20 after all this time to compensate for wear.
Affinity Designer would be great, and we would LOVE to use it.

But, the last time I checked, it can only create SVG content with images converted into inline code, and text reduced to glyphs.

This means that fonts can't be reused throughout the site, that text can't be read (either by screen readers or Google), and it can't be selected or copied.

All of this adds up to "not being a real web page".

If I'm wrong about any of this, of if Affinity Designer has been updated to enable linked fonts and images, that would make my day.

I love Illustrator but it's certainly a bit of an albatross around my neck ;-)
What free markets?

I don't see many of those. I do see quite a few fairly well-balanced markets that can give good feedback, and I see a bunch of other markets that are subject to regulatory capture, which aren't giving very good feedback at all.
Wouldn't be surprised - will check with her. Appreciate the reply and am surprised an app would have permission to change this setting!
Sure, but we take teenagers (who just shot someone and are RUNNING away) at their word now?

And if you don't, you're justified in being shot while pursuing him?
Every time you add a tool that can be used to edit SVG, you add addressable market to your product. It's not about Inkscape, it's about SVG. Letting people use the editor of their choice just makes the product more useful. Also, inkscape is free, so you don't have $600/year in subscription fees to someone else as a barrier to adoption.
It would also cut in to their App Store revenue if Chrome was able to implement full PWA features.
"tyranny" Okay, I'm definitely not on YouTube/Google's side here, but calling this tyranny is legit hilarious
When Carlsen previously defended his title agains Fabiano Caruana, all the classical (slow) games were draws. The championship was decided by rapid games, where Carlsen demolished Caruana.

I love both playing and watching rapid chess, but I think it's better for the world championship to be decided using classical time limits. That way, we get more interesting games, rather than the indignity of top players blundering while under time pressure.
