San Francisco has done significantly better than any other city in the continental USA, despite being one of the most internationally connected, transit dependent, and densely populated. Honolulu is the only similarly successful large US city.

> IFR is .012

Do you mean CFR (case fatality rate)? IFR (infection fatality rate) is always only speculative, because we don’t ever have complete knowledge of the number of infections.

In total throughout the pandemic SF has had ~670 Covid deaths and ~54,000 confirmed Covid cases for a population of ~880,000.

For the same population, the USA average would be ~2090 deaths and ~110,000 confirmed cases. Except those are both dramatic underestimates of the relative numbers because SF has consistently had a much lower percentage of positive tests, and hasn’t had anywhere near the US gap between confirmed Covid deaths and total excess deaths.
I wonder how long it will be, before some government somewhere makes a high-powered maser type of device, which would basically be an electromagnetic attack.

Seems to me something like that would be very difficult to detect.

I think it could be technically accurate, if you include that vaccination before getting infected gives better immunity than most other options. (It is almost like a booster shot, but worse in almost every possibly way)

Also probably true without the vaccine first, but the initial survival rate without vaccination is a lot lower.
>Fair, but also consider that before a researcher is in the "worth their salt" category, they are learning.

What part of the learning process is turning off Windows Updates for months on the host machine? That's like saying cutting the brake lines is part of learning to drive. You have to go out of the way to mess things up, not forget or not know to do something.
it's a longstanding problem with the NVidia CPL Context Menu Extension.
Is that good? The Nvidia-ARM merger has progressed and been in the news so many times that it's been partly responsible for Nvidia's stock growth. It's a bit strange to correct a market by blocking a merger while choosing to sue at the most disruptive time (correcting/bear-ish turned market, inflation policy changes, very close to the exclusivity period expiration).

The FTC should be doing its job but it should be doing it the proper way - not just delaying the deal until it falls apart. It should also do its job promptly... the UK was looking at this deal nearly a year ago - that should have been a huge flag to accelerate their own investigation. What's the point of wasting months of people's time and money.

> I find switching applications with keyboard shortcuts and focusing on one thing at a time has improved my productivity. Using two or more monitors made it so easy for me to get distracted.

I very much agree with this - alt-tabbing between browser, terminal and fullscreened Emacs are what I've been doing for years. But very recently I decided to make two significant changes:

1. Adding a second monitor for documentation or visualizing output. When I'm going through longer written works (tutorials on languages, toolkits, etc), it's rotated to portrait mode and I find it more conducive to typing and testing things on the first monitor (with Emacs still fullscreen, but C-x 2 for splitting it in half). Recently I've been playing with OpenSCAD and I've liked having the second monitor in landscape mode; then I edit files in Emacs, and OpenSCAD updates the render as soon as I save the file. Transcribing music from scans displayed on a portrait monitor into MuseScore in fullscreen on a landscape monitor is a third "topic" I find two monitors handy for. Lastly is IT/sysadmin where I have a 160x60 terminal with a tab per server on the landscape monitor, and dashboards or documentation on the second monitor rotated to landscape mode. Control PgUp and PgDown between server consoles, each running screen, where screen zero is colorized log output.

2. The second change might have a a bigger impact than the first: multiple virtual desktops, one for each "topic." For example, my virtual desktops are currently entitled "Main", "IT", "3D Modelling", "Programming", and "Music". Of course I switch between them with a keyboard shortcut. This really seems to help my focus, by putting things "out of reach" so that I can't just Alt-tab to Reddit or HN when I'm bored or stuck.

The key with any tool is to figure out how to make it work for you, not against you. Sounds like you've already made progress on this front, but I thought I'd provide my two cents.

What are you referring to?

The US government is intently focused on competing with China, especially militarily. Agencies are dedicating themselves to it as the leading priority, especially the Dept. of Defense, which is rebuilding its forces specifically for conflict with China. It's in the defense and foreign policy news every day.
In addition to what you wrote, I'd add from my own experience:

- never trust a single DNS server as a source of truth

- always rely on transport encryption, which DNS on port 53 (via UDP) does not offer

- verify your results statistically, rotate servers (DNS ronin), and endpoint protocols in order to verify there's no MITM

- deactivate message compression if possible. Naive implementations are vulnerable to both stack and buffer overflows (see NAMEWRECK).

- don't rely on DNS cookies, and always assume there can be multiple records with different types in a reply to a single question.

- DNS TTL 0 is a fix for stupidity, and nothing else.

If any of the above isn't respected it's your fault as a DNS client, because the protocol was designed when the internet was a nice place and everybody literally knew everybody via the /etc/hosts file dumps.

That's why I'm a strong believer in DNS via HTTPS, because having a better and more reliable transport protocol would fix a lot of the issues people/clients have to face.

DNS via TLS turned out to be useless because the dedicated port 853 for it literally gets blocked by ISPs and nobody can do shit about it.
Some of these don't show up for me (like Saturn). This might work better with a web-font? Although then you'd lose the harmonious platform emojis. I wonder if there's a way to check if a unicode character exists in a font and dynamically substitute, without using canvas.

They got ARM macOS 11 VMs?
I mean, ARM is basically the only game in town when it comes to mobile chips. Combine that with nvidia's graphics technologies and now you've got basically the entire market for XR devices (I reject the use of 'metaverse' in this context) cornered.

It's one case out of many where suddenly a defacto market leader emerges with almost no room for other entrants, whereas at least without the merger device makers can source silicon from arm licensors as well as from AMD, NVDA, and INTC (soon-ish) for solid graphics components.
China's foreign policy has become very aggressive and the CCP fosters intense nationalism domestically (maybe after you left?). Look up 'wolf diplomats', for example.

Is burning plastic better than just burying it? It seems like burying plastic waste would be a decent way to sequester carbon long-term provided it's done in a way that's not going to cause harmful chemicals to get into the water table.

Burning it just turns it back into CO2. You get energy in the process, but is it worth the trouble? Some materials like PVC emit chlorine gas when burned... it seems like that would be a problem, but maybe there's a reasonable solution.

“ And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

No no, this is what I'm trying to get to the bottom of. I don't see any way this is strictly substantially bad for consumers or reduces competition in a way that antitrust law would apply, and I don't see any way this is at all bad for the US strategically. So the FTC is issuing a complaint in response to ..something.. that goes against the interest of our own government and has nothing to do with consumers (hell I'd love to see an Nvidia N2 SoC that competes with the Apple M1). Bingo, it's other big tech firms lobbying. These other big tech firms most certainly have y'alls interest at heart and are just looking out for you, small fry. Give me a break!

I often watch movies on my OLED and think, "this is so dark it only just looks OK on this TV - it would definitely look like crap if we were at the cinema".

The mRNA technology would let us inject omicron-specific boosters tomorrow, but then there is a lot of other safety hurdles that have to be met before it gets authorized and then distribution hurdles to convince people to take it…

All security is just putting roadblocks in place to buy you time to notice and to make you an unattractive target, same physically as digitally (you don't really think your front door lock will keep someone out that really want in, right?).

Passworded sudo is just another roadblock to give you more time. Passwordless means instead of the attacker getting local root and then having to find an exploit, they immediately get to escalate to root. For very sophisticated attackers, it may by a trivial difference in time, but for unsophisticated ones it may mean they don't get root to do more damage.

And given that sophisticated attackers are ones you can't really guard well against without a whole department devoted to it, unsophisticated ones are probably ones you should really make sure not to ignore.

AFAIK, there is only one nation on this planet that has dropped a nuke on another country, that can put the rest of the world on edge.

Besides you cant rush globalisation, cultural differences take time to evolve over generations, we haven't had the internet and other forms of communication for that many years in the scheme of things and there are still many people on this planet who have not even used or regularly use the internet.

Whose culture is right? What is right in the eyes of the law?

Are other satellites from other countries also coming under attack and they are not talking about it publicly, making the US seem a victim when many countries are victims but also aggressors?

We are rarely in complete possession of the facts with any govt or big business or anyone else for that matter! C'est la vie

On your point about something being unsustainable, when it comes to nukes, there is more to this than meets the eye, namely energy density.

> Initiatives like in the OP give me hope that at least some generous people would take a look and say "hey, that makes it easier for me to donate / fund efforts"... but I am not holding my breath. Our current society does not optimize for any of this.

I've recently discovered first hand that there are people who will give money away for little to nothing in return. Two examples:

1. I have a friend who makes over $300K/year as a ship's captain. She has way more money than she needs. One this she does with all her disposable income is fund kickstarters.

2. Last year, a random stranger spent $200 to buy gifts for my 3 kids just because my wife replied to a facebook thread on the topic of "what does everyone's kids want for Christmas". The woman wasn't even the OP on the tread. I'm not sure why she picked my family, I guess she just was charmed that my kids wanted sleeping bags.

> Finally, the biggest problem is discoverability.

This is true. Especially, when the concept of software development cost is so difficult to explain to a layperson. One can easily grasp the creative value of funding a Kickstarter for a graphic novel. How do you get non-technical person excited about software?
Innovation is not an on-off switch. Market forces create an incentive to attempt to innovate, but they don't magically make innovation happen.
> and since unvaccinated people are more likely to cause the virus to mutate

If you understand natural selection, then this assertion makes zero sense. Where in the genome do we see the accumulation of mutations in all covid variants seen so far? In their S-protein. Where does Omicron have 30+ mutations? In its S-protein.

What is the single protein that the mRNA vaccines code for??

Yes, if you reason from first principles, it is trivial to see that it is in fact the throngs of the vaccinated who are driving the evolution of SARS-CoV-2!

StarkNet is a turing complete virtual machine built on top of zero-knowledge proofs.

The output of any StarkNet program can be transformed into an extremely succinct zero-knowledge proof. This proof generation process is quite costly. But then, the proof itself is extremely tiny and may be verified extremely inexpensively.

Coincidentally with this post, StarkNet launched this week after seven years of R&D.
