> I also strongly doubt your statements about spike protein distribution, all cells have lipid membranes. The vaccine is injected into the muscle in your arm. Why would it accumulate in the heart?

I was under the impression that accidental injection into the bloodstream was likely the culprit. The linked study doesn't speculate on a mechanism however.

The odds of hitting a blood vessel seem pretty small, and the odds of adverse reactions when it does happen also seem pretty small. The article claims an incidence rate of 1-10 per million.
Keep in mind that boosters are now considered only good for 6 months, so depending on your definition of “the next few years”, you may be exposed to many times more spike protein load via the vaccine route.

Anyways, I have no horse in this race, but I did notice some unusual chest tightness after my 3rd shot very recently - nothing serious though. I’m completely stress-free in life, so it’s not anxiety. Things have been great for me.
You do own your hacker news account.
If someone hacks into your computer, and makes stupid comments while pretending to be you, you have every right to seek compensation. Because you actually OWN your hacker news account, in the very same way you OWN the house you are renting. Your landlord cannot just rock up to your house tomorrow, walk in and sit in your yard for an hour because they "own" the house.
So yes, you are right! Ownership is and can be complicated, and NFT ownership is no different. ;)
Bitcoin just like any other currency, is worth exactly what people think it is worth. The entire financial system is basically a collective delusion of sorts. Any currency can become worthless as faith in it drops out.

They already scan your photos but the reason for scanning is important. Type 'cat' into the search and they'll show you the pictures you've taken of cats.
However, they can't just go through your photos and use it for any purpose they want. They have to give a specific reason.
It's pretty rare designers don't leave a footprint for antenna connectors. The footprint is pretty small, and makes debugging and testing of the software stack far easier since you can plug the connector into other hardware which simulates other wireless devices, without requiring an expensive and hard to use RF chamber.
Joke's on you - Hacker News is into that shit.
It's astonishing that the majority of people can look at this situation and not recoil.

The whole "mix and match" narrative is just so misguided.

I do wonder if it's being pushed as a way to dilute possible lawsuits.
Honestly the random question of “what would happen if you just forced depressed people to pretend they’re not depressed” when my understanding is that is about the same as wondering what would happen if you had chronically ill folk try yoga. That is to say, a generic wellness strategy that shows condescending attitudes towards the severity of someone else’s disease. Someone with depression very likely attempted to exercise, eat right, etc and found that it is either impossible to perform when suffering from untreated/treatment-resistant depression or that their depression involves the inability to respond appropriately to exercise and a good diet.
Vaccines decrease the probability of severe illness and death from COVID-19 but are not correlated with transmission rates. Some researchers go as far as saying it's worse with vaccinated people as they feel more protected and engage in more risky behavior, not avoiding gatherings of people etc.
While I'd love to see some stats supporting the quantity and severity of laws we live under by each level of government, most of our taxes going to federal doesn't seem to support your assertion.

If your company suffers heavily from not invented here syndrome, then sure. But just seems like a waste of time when many tools exist.
I don’t know if you’re deliberately trolling. In the off chance you’re not, I suggest that you took the entirely wrong takeaway from the OP, and I suggest rereading.

He never said experts shouldn’t design protocols, and nothing like that was anywhere near the point.
Central bank fearmongers over decentralized currency that could potentially undermine its existence.
That site annoys me! I can find my library on it if I type its name (Scrawl-canvas) in the search bar, but it never appears when searching by tag (eg: 'canvas') and there's no obvious thing I can change in the edit panel to make it appear in the places I want it to appear.
Hint - that was not an atheist. (And not widely read either, because Aesop or De la Fontaine are fabulists with much more easily digestible morals for kids than the bible...)

If I'm reading the charts correctly, the incidence of infection after recovering from Covid is around 13-15 per 100k after 6-8 months, and after recovering from Covid + Vaccination is around 10-14 per 100k after 6-8 months.

So it seems like vaccination does not present a clear benefit for someone that recovered from Covid? (The confidence intervals overlap)
> matches a hash of child porn, you'll be reported

After 30 hits (so 30 false positives), and then the photos are manually reviewed by a human being. How did people never understand this? How on _Earth_ would people's live be randomly destroyed by this? The reviewer would take one look (or 30) and immediately realize it's not illicit. Crisis averted. But the chances of those 30 false positives actually all being in someone's iCloud was like astronomically unlikely.

> And what if the government decides that they want to ruin a political adversary?

Then you're already fucked, and the child porn scanning software won't be what makes it possible to ruin your life.
If you demand a currency to pay taxes and fines, there is always going to be people that need to acquire it.
Highly elliptical orbits are cheaper to achieve anyway, right? You can get into one directly from your Venus gravity assists, and not have to keep precious fuel to transfer to a circular orbit later on.
My prediction is that client-side CSAM scanning is indeed dead, but Apple will make the “easy” decision to perform server-side scanning. The problem is that this decision will lock them out of offering an (increasingly standard) E2EE backup capability. I don’t know that the Apple execs have grappled with the implications of this, long term. But at least it’s an improvement.
I really just love these comments.

You do know that Apple is scanning your photos server-side, right ?

Just like Google, AWS, Yahoo etc anyone that stores your photos in the cloud.
It might not be a feature of the vaccine, but a feature of the combination immune system + virus which doesnt allow us to smallpox Covid out of existence.
As far as I could tell the hype was in large part driven by celebrity VCs like Naval and Balaji constantly hyping it as the next stage of social networking and that can only drive people to use it for so long. Numbers have been falling all year since then.
Read it again. They implied that the vaccine cured their palpitations, to demonstrate the absurdity.
> The vaccine is injected into the muscle in your arm. Why would it accumulate in the heart?

Here is an interesting read:

https://www.bhf.org.uk/what-we-do/news-from-the-bhf/news-arc...

"The spike protein binds to cells called pericytes which line the small vessels of the heart. This binding triggers a cascade of changes which disrupt normal cell function, and can lead to the release of chemicals that cause inflammation. This happened even when the protein was no longer attached to the virus... The spike protein can remain in the bloodstream after the virus has gone and travel far from the site of infection."

This article is talking about the spike protein aquired from infection, but I wonder if it is similar from vaccine, since the spike protein is also in the vaccine:

"First, COVID-19 mRNA vaccines are given in the upper arm muscle. The mRNA will enter the muscle cells and instruct the cells' machinery to produce a harmless piece of what is called the spike protein. The spike protein is found on the surface of the virus that causes COVID-19."

Basic phone and iPhone SE (the old version) for banking apps.

It is not only about CSAM.

CSAM was the last straw.
Before this was that:
echo 127.0.0.1 ocsp.apple.com | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts
I never could get an invite... nor could anyone I knew. At some point I quit paying attention. I think anyone can get in now.
This argument falls exactly into the point I make about not understanding the implementation or the status quo.

Here's what would need to change about the system to fulfil your requirements.

1. The local government would need to pass a law allowing such a change
2. The hashes would then need to come from the government. Instead of the two intersection of two independent CSAM databases.
3. The review process would need to redesigned and deployed to provide a lower threshold and permit the reviewers to see high resolution images. Neither of these changes are trivial.
4. The reports would then need to go to the government.
5. What's stopping these same governments from requesting such things from Google and Meta - both of which have comparable systems with lower oversight?

Apple don't "ALWAYS follows the laws of the land", one can read into this with the recent "secret" agreement between Apple and China which detail the various ways that Apple hasn't complied with Chinese requests (e.g. the requests for source code.)
This is often repeated, but it always ignores that there are state-level actors (often called a "state") propping up currencies, often supported by central banks. In this regard Bitcoin is definitely not "like any other currency".

This is by no means exhaustive, there are a myriad of differences
The ecosphere has been around for billions of years. It's been through much much, MUCH worse. It'll be fine. Maybe some hairless apes might suffer a bit, and a few thousand species might be replaced by something else, but in the long run the planet is going to thrive.
They can say all that. The old adage about how to tell if a politician is lying - if their lips are moving - applies.

But the data cannot simply be hand-waved away by politicians, nor easily controlled in the West. Look at what medical experts say when they publish analysis about the data - and you get as near to the truth as you can reasonably hope.
> it was perfectly possible to have functional, fast, and reliable webpages and applications in the 90s and early 00s

I think you have an overly rosy view of the time. Yes, some things were fast, especially if you had an unusually good connection, but the average person's experience of the internet was much slower and less reliable.
One still has to look through the numbers to see 74% of deaths have underlying issues and connect the dots to "per-age-group" and still interpolate some numbers from that instead of actual statistics on "per age group healthy deaths".

In the data you linked to, the age group 0-59 15 people died, lets say the 74% number which is from all ages, that makes 4 where healthy.
Golang Generics Tutorial
Thank you for this. This is the first post I've read on this thread that acknowledges the reality of what it's like for career-minded infosec folks.

I'm a 15-year infosec vet. I'm not nearly as technical as some of the HN crowd would like for infosec guys to be, in large part because high technical is not something employers generally want and are willing to pay for. If you want to maximize pay, the best path is to learn just enough to be regarded as competent, then move into management, sales, or PM work. There's barely room for the highly-skilled, highly-technical cyber guy in most large companies, let alone SMBs. Most companies chop this ideal infosec role into multiple parts too minimize cost and risk, just as you describe.
Don't let a crisis go to waste
Vaccines dont prevent long-covid either, my wife had 2 shots of Moderna and not even 4th month in she lost sense of smell and has still not recovered it 2 months later.
> The "images" are part information.

This. It is a mashup of both. I can clearly visualize many 3D objects in my mind, as well as zoom, pan, scale, rotate, recolor, animate, distort them, etc. But it is not purely visual, because I often "see" opposite side of a cube momentarily, which I should not be able to from this perspective.

So, it is not a rendering engine. It is not physically, spatially and temporally stable. Stability is lost especially as your focus shifts (e.g. "seeing" behind objects as your attention slips there)

The best way I know to describe this is by old and new Tesla FSD predictions which are sampled here: https://youtu.be/j0z4FweCy4M?t=3768

Improved version is how people talk about visualization, but the old unstable version is how (at least for me) it mostly is.
What history tells us about the dangers of media ownership
I'm saying an interruption of govt activity is NOT an 'insurrection'.

So failure to move to your car for a street sweeper is also not an insurrection.

It feels crazy we're even having this discussion.

Don't tell any of the media this example though, they will have 4 talking heads debate if Trump or AOC not moving their car for a street sweeper was an insurrection, and tons of ideologues getting angry and supporting it.
Thanks, that's reassuring at least
Indeed, they can not know quantitatively lifetime risk of COVID-19 after 24 months of observation. But we do know from clinical experience that COVID-19 is damaging a lot of people in very severe ways. I was also quoting data on long COVID that indicate that a lot of people (10% and more) suffer long COVID after 3 and even 6 months.

We also have some data on SARS survivors [0]. The SARS virus is closely related to SARS-CoV-2, but it is a lot more severe.

> Dr. Paula Gardner, a psychologist at St. John’s Rehab in Toronto, has been documenting the health of survivors, post-SARS.

> “They’re still, after 10 years, experiencing problems. Issues such as fatigue, muscle and joint pain, shortness of breath and some newly developing problems such as neuropathy, numbness in the feet and hands,” she said.

We have also experience with the general chronic fatigue syndrome that seems to be related to infectious diseases: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_fatigue_syndrome#Viral...

Aphantasia is the inability/difficulty in creating voluntary mental images.

If said close your eyes and picture your mom. Do you see black, or do you actually see your mom. If you don't see your mom clearly, you have a some form of aphantasia.
In your situation then CSAM scanning would never have been an issue.

It only applies when you have iCloud Photo Library enabled.
You're commenting on a government sponsored study about the vaccine causing heart issues. Are you sure you want to repeat that conspiracy theory?
Plus, we humans are really bad at disentangling cause and effect in daily life. Everyday there's people that get sick or notice something, so if we all take a vaccin, by definition some will get sick or notice something right after the vaccin, albeit by accident.

That's not to say that's the case here, it's simply why, as the parent (and OP) also states (so I think we're all on the same page here, just adding another thought), research is important.
The best online course I've found for development is FreeCodeCamp [1]. Their web development courses are definitely the best of their offering, but they do offer Python courses as well. It's self-paced, free, and higher quality (& more real-world) than similar offerings.

It's focused on learning from scratch though, rather than quickly highlighting a particular feature or introducing a library. I've yet to find a really good general tutorial site for such things; the web abounds with "tutorials" on every topic, but they're mostly low-quality and it's hard to filter out the chaff. Honestly, your best source (though it too will vary wildly in quality) is always the documentation.

> Myocarditis has an extremely high fatality rate.

Only for severe cases. Like any inflammation it can be mild to life-threatening.

You can get myocarditis from any infection, and also allergies. Mild forms are quite common, if I remember correctly (not a doctor).
But not supported by default by any mobile browser except Android's Chrome, making this more of a bleeding edge type situation on the client side of things.
Emacs Lisp is totally usable as a minimal scripting language outside of the regular Emacs context.

You can compile Emacs without any GUI toolkit support and run it heedlessly as a lisp interpreter. You can even make Emacs packages behave like CLIs with a few lines of code.
Oops I accidentally set the threshold to $10k. :)
If Apple would like us to believe they changed their mind, they might consider telling us they changed their mind. They haven't told us that, so why should we assume it?
Another possibility (or way to look at it) is that it worked poorly enough, and it was poorly received enough, that the internal factions within Apple that opposed it had enough leverage to kill it.

Sometimes, the right way to kill a project (politically) is to let it publicly fail. Killing a project before it fails requires much more of a fight. It could also mean that the very public failure of this project gave Apple leverage over whichever spooks were pushing for it in the first place.
You are assuming everyone can get out at the same time at price X. That’s not going to happen. Generally in crashes/drawdowns, 2/3 will see 1/3 of the price in liquidation.
They've been already doing server side CSAM, for a while, on iCloud pics. Their issue was targeting all media that wasn't uploaded.
It's still true. I went to get an iPad with a screen problem repaired and they said they don't repair it. If there is an issue, they'll just take it and give you replacement. And obviously charge you an arm and leg for it hoping you'd opt to buy a new iPad. I just went ahead and bought a compatible screen, toolkit and learnt how to replace the screen myself (it was a pain).
This reminds me of my friend who had his whole house wired with Google. I've watched him ask Google to turn lights on while standing next to a light switch. I've seen him repeat himself 3 times when all he had to do was lift his arm. Seeing that happen a few times (along with privacy concerns) convinced me to never bother with any home assistants.
How about we expand the list of known CP images, under force, to include many non-CP images.
Dunno where in the world you are but there are still a few on sheves. https://coolcomponents.co.uk/products/raspberry-pi-zero-2-w still have a few but they are limiting sales to 1 per customer atm.
The same argument can certainly be made for solar. To encourage you to use power while it's available, so for example only use your lights during the daytime hours.
I also recommend that those experiencing SSRI-resistant depression try it. SSRIs didn't do much for me other than hit me like a rubber mallet to the brain.

Wellbutrin's subtle stimulation has been so effective for the type of depression where you want to stay in bed and have no motivation to do even the basic things, which is how I felt before.

If you're reading this and depressed, you're not alone. It will get better, and you too will eagerly look forward to your days ahead.
It’s unclear to me if that accounts for second order effects? For example, lower demand leads to lower prices, sure. But then those lower prices lead to higher demand. This should quickly reach equilibrium if buying and selling were spur of the moment decisions with no long term consequence. But in the energy market that’s not the case. Building a power plant is a commitment to buying that product, which locks in that demand regardless of price. And so continued low prices could lead to more construction of gas plants, which leads to an increase in demand.

Basically what I’m saying is that the demand curve models a simple market with a fungible good, which can be bought and sold easily. We have to recognise that it’s like studying spherical, frictionless projectiles in physics. A good starting point, but not how the real world works.
That's total deaths, not the death rate, which was 28.9 per 100,000.
Caveat, national currencies are secured with economic power, a system of law, culture, military power, etc etc. It is a bit different. They aren't perfect either but there is more supporting what people "think" they are worth here.

Bitcoin has it own culture and history, but it is still a baby. I do think bitcoin is a bit more like Gold, although Gold has real uses so that is still a bit of a rough comparison.
Strawman fallacy. I never said that it was easy or "just get over it". To quote my original post: "Not to suggest that it's easy to get someone to do something that they don't want to do, but let's not remove personal agency here." My comment was simply disputing the other comment's assertion that forcing oneself to do something outside of their comfort zone like going to the gym when depressed is "borderline impossible to the point that it's an impractical and irrelevant suggestion". It is my belief that this victim mentality and remove of one's sense of personal agency in the matter is at best useless, at worst incredibly damaging.

Even the original commenter stated that for some, depression is purely biological, whereas for others, it may involve behavioral components. It's kind of ridiculous that anytime someone mentions personal agency in a depression thread, one gets heavily downvoted with hoards of commenters jumping in to say "depression is purely biological and only treatable through medication and therapy!" Ok, perhaps this is true for many depressed people, but what is the breakdown of depressed people who's depression is purely biological like this vs. those who's depression is also behavioral (I would guess the former being a small minority)? Why are we not allowed to acknowledge the latter? How does speaking to self-agency make anyone worse off?

Depression is complex. Let's not reduce it to something as simple as being a biological disease curable only via medication and therapy. In the past I would've said something along the same lines as my previous posts but excused myself out of the conversation earlier since I don't really have a horse in this race. But now that I have a close friend who's experiencing psychosis and basically lost his mind (eg. running around naked, talking to voices in his head) due to some psychiatrist prescribing him with the "wrong" depression medication, the issue has become personal to me. Apparently even the "experts" don't seem to know how to treat depression, so let's not speak so condescendingly and matter-of-factly as if anyone knows what they're talking about here.
