No it doesn’t. Read the study. People being hospitalized with covid-like symptoms is the broader population and those with prior confirmed covid infections and those with prior confirmed vaccines within that population are the sample groups where the covid infections rates are compared.

Do you genuinely believe a study with such a massive and obvious methodology problem would get published and cited by the CDC? (and yes I know bad studies do get published from time to time but it isn’t common).

Would you care to compare this with for example @localfirst/state, automerge and automerge-rs (latter two provide the CRDTs, i.e. similar to Yjs)?

https://github.com/local-first-web/state

https://github.com/automerge/automerge

https://github.com/automerge/automerge-rs

By the way despite that particular repo (@localfirst/state) last being touched 6 months ago, Herb Caudill definitely seems still active in this space (I believe he's been working on other parts of this more recently -- e.g. ideas about authentication), and I think automerge development itself (Martin Kleppmann) is quite active right now leading up to a 1.0 release which seems fairly imminent, for which a lot of fundamental work has been done, also coordinating with automerge-rs.

I honestly don't think any of that optimism is remotely warranted.

And Americans are certainly very, very disconnected from the actual political sausage factory, thanks to corrupt media and corrupt law - why would you give them a pass here?

I'm shocked that so many Americans are so blind to so much rot. You can smell it in the air.

Even the Democrats are seemingly fine with executive orders, the Patriot Act, black sites, extrajudicial killings of American and other friendly nations citizens, smearing and torturing whistleblowers like Assange and Donziger.

"On a global stage", America is seen as the number one threat to democracy and world peace, and has consistently been seen as such since Afghanistan. It's wild that Americans don't ever seem to grasp how they are seen abroad.
I think what he's saying is that we will probably never build safety nets strong enough to provide for those who had their jobs automated away. They will be condemned to a miserable life of poverty, provided with just enough to keep them from rioting on the streets.

Source: I used to be on SSI disability. This is income for those that are so disabled they are never expected to be capable of working. The average SSI payment is something like $585 / mo. Well below the poverty line and any dignified existence. If this is how we treat our most vulnerable, how will we treat those who have simply been automated out of a job?
The simple fact that they wanted paint sold to the public containing lead to be banned or labelled as poison to protect people. There is no way you can think this was an extortion move unless you ate too many paint chips yourself or are a greedy asshole who doesn't give a shit about others (likely caused by the former).
Leaded brass fittings are still permitted for non-potable applications. You won't find them at Home Depot and other places that have giant consumer lawsuit targets on their back but if you're buying fittings not commonly used for potable water from sources that mostly do B2B sales you'll still encounter them and (IMO it's basically a non-issue in that context).

Of all the tools I use on a daily basis Github is probably the worst. I mean the "Find a repository..." input field on the start page can not even filter out named repositories I have access to in all my organizations. It works for some repos but not all.

Total ordering is rarely required, and even more rarely actually possible (without lamport or atomic clocks etc).

For more common use cases it is possible to provide the minimum guarantees required to reliably reconstruct a domain object throughout a distribute system whilst still providing a fuck-ton of scope for concurrency, batching and high throughput through better partition key choice, informed by:

A: The maximum ordering guarantees that can be provided by the data source

B: the minimum ordering guarantees required to reconstruct a domain object

>wasn't there a huge effort, like 60+ lawsuits? to show fraud? why was there no significant fraud found?

I look at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republican_efforts_to_restrict...

The republicans have made it very clear through their actions they believe the election was fraudulent. 425 bills in 49 states post-election is something pretty significant.

It's interesting that they don't say it. They can't say it can they? Trust in democracy is so low from the democrats saying they republicans stole the elections. If the Michigan republicans came out and said that they believe the election was illegitimate. What happens? Trump isnt getting into office. It's not going to change anything. What are the consequences? The militia folks might go take over the capitol or something? Worse? Civil war? The union splitting? Been seeing lots of that talk.

Instead what can michigan do? They've introduced 39 election reform bills https://www.freep.com/story/news/politics/elections/2021/03/...

You dont introduce 39 bills because you feel the election went smoothly. They control the senate and house. Those bills will likely pass.

Interesting they just outright put in the title 'based on lies' but that's needed. They are going to do all this voter supression etc based on lies but it'll happen. It has to happen. If 1 side of the election thinks it wasn't legitimate. The next election will be going much more smoothly.

To get back to your question. The same reason Michigan's republicans say the election was fine with various problems is the same reason you heard of 'no significant fraud found' goes back to being unable to say it.

Is this paper a joke? The adverse health effects they list are under the noise floor and there is no mention of the alternative being risking exposure to heavy metals with health risks far above the noise floor. Additionally, the recommendations entirely ignore the idea of remineralization. I have to wonder why they would publish such an incomplete study and conclude it with dangerous guidance.
Did you read the article referenced? If not, then I don't see how you have no basis for saying this is completely false. If you did read it, then can you explain how you square your bald assertion with the facts presented in the article. Notice that it's published in a Lancet associated journal. They have pretty high standards and I can't see any conflict of interest on the part of the writers.
I didn't follow the case in details but private keys can get lost or stolen so you might own particular wallet addresses in the past but now you are not in control of those private keys anymore therefore wallet addresses as well.

The same thing can happen with your state issued ID card which might get lost or stolen so then you need to report it to police for security reasons and to the government to get a new one. Unfortunately you can't do that with Bitcoin pk/sk wallet address. If you lose your private keys or if they get stolen there is no way to obtain control again of your wallet addresses unless police and court does that for you. I read Craig wants to do exactly that by reorging the Bitcoin chain but that is not happening because if it happens Bitcoin price would go to 0 and his million and something bitcoins would become worthless.
That's... incredibly naive.

Naive, or just abstract? I think most of us can agree that at some level of abstraction we would prefer that people put ideals and principles over banal concerns like money. It simply happens to be the case that, as of today, we don't live in a world that makes it easy to live that way.

Let's also not get too caught up in this Youtube thing. If I'm interpreting this correctly, that was just an example of a more general idea, not the sole topic of discussion.

It's also naive to think that YouTube developers don't already know about said hacks / workarounds.

Sure, but that doesn't mean they're going to prioritize dealing with it, unless somebody calls attention to it by, for example, posting about it on HN. I think the OP has a valid point that sometimes people have some $THING they might sorta want to talk about, but ultimately decide not to post here, because undue attention could be detrimental to $THING.

I don't want to pull back the curtain too much, but surely DeepMind foresaw the possibility of AlphaGo winning and then Lee Sedol losing confidence or interest in the game, which would generate a load of bad publicity for them.

So it would make sense for DeepMind's contract with him to contain a clause requiring him to continue playing go professionally for a few years (but not necessarily put much effort into it), as well as the standard non-disparagement clauses.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if AlphaGo was programmed to throw the forth game after securing the win with the first three of the five games. That gives Lee some bragging rights, and makes for a more hopeful story than "Computer stomps likeable human".

>Aged Twitter accounts with thousands of followers are available for sale

Yes, this is mostly irrelevant to what we were discussing though (and goes to the "change in behavior" thing I mentioned, which while more challenging, is still often detectable).

> Brigading attacks by flagging content in bad faith are also very common for political and ideological reasons.

Yes, but this is distinct from trying to frame someone for purchasing/using bot follows, and so is mostly irrelevant to what we were discussing. I agree that this is a challenging problem to solve, it's just not the one that was mentioned.

I'll reiterate:

There are challenging problems in abuse detection. Someone abusively using fake accounts to frame a legitimate user else for using fake accounts isn't a particularly challenging (or relevant) one.
That's a great video. 7:50 is the important twist for me, and 10:25 really drives it home. I'll never forget that video now and it explains so much.

THere's still one "flaw" with this video: explaining that the grid "moves" is a little confusing. It doesn't move per-se, it .. evolves? ... over time. That's weird. I keep wanting to think the curves are static, but from t0->tn the grid pinches up. Yes, that's why they call it spacetime, but I have to stop and reset myself because how can the grid keep pinching up indefinitely but it doesn't it is just a concept. That is a stumbling block. 35 years after my last physics class...lol.

Administering the marketplace is that part that actually makes money, though, because the house always gets a cut of the transactions (in service fees and transaction fees). That's been a lot of Valve's success in all the easy profit from the Steam Marketplace. If this is to increase shareholder value in Ubi long term, NFTs are ass backwards because they aren't long term revenue generating, but a marketplace they owned actually would be.
I think crypto will only have long-term success or maturity if the unwilling people such as myself combined with the general population will be compelled or feel obligated to use any of it, to the same level of utility such as electricity or the internet itself.

Otherwise, at some point this rather self-contained 'crypto-sphere' will fallback on itself and the non-core participants (i.e. not the enthusiasts) will lose interest.

this looks awesome! two things I've always wanted and haven't found satisfying solutions for in code search (in an editor)

1) an ability to easily express higher level concepts in a search that's aware of code semantics ("match only function names", "find call sites of a method") etc. Maybe this is possible with existing tools (probably is?) but I tend to get lazy about learning DSLs - would love to see this in a UI if it's possible

2) ability to save searches I do frequently - after a certain level of complexity in a query (I've added ignore rules, I crafted the right regex, etc), I want to be able to save the "context" of a search so that I can easily return to it later
We're not going to see eye-to-eye because you think that other folks should work for free to make Microsoft products more secure.

I think that when security problems in Microsoft products are Microsoft's responsibility and no one else's. By insisting that other people work for free to improve that security, you're arguing that other people are responsible for said security problems.

That's a curious position. You think that someone who isn't paid is responsible, but not Microsoft, who is paid.

I understand why Microsoft would like that arrangement, but why do think that anything else is wrong?

Agreed. Exception here is when you're making the trade-offs to buy into a DI framework--which you could argue is a descendent need from the "everything is a class" worldview. Pure/dependency-free util functions can very naturally live outside of all of this. But, the minute you have functions that depend on inherently stateful infrastructure (e.g. datasource connections--so, most applications), then those functions become inherently stateful--which makes them less natural to exist as pure utils and starts to make DI more attractive--which leads us back to placing pipeline code within classes. Alternatively, you could expose only the stateful pipeline code within singletons, but at some point you start to fight the community patterns--which means you start to lose out on community goodies. To be clear, this is all only based my experiences and I'm not dogmatic at all about any of this. Times change/everything-old-is-new-again. I'm sure classes will make a comeback, and then go out of favor again--as is life.

The states and larger cities have their own sets of regulations and enforcement agencies so it's not a simple question, but as best I can tell COVID restrictions and hiring issues have been a bigger blow to regulatory enforcement than the past administration, any changes they made would be marginal in comparison and are likely already undone by the new administration.
