Lolno. You are completely mistaken about what ownership means. I don't own my bank account (it's complicated), I don't own my HN account. Password is only used to authenticate and authorize me on the digital property owned by someone else - PG or bank corporation.
In my extended circle of acquaintances, below the age of 40, there have been so far 0 covid deaths (no hospitalizations either, some claim it was a very unpleasant disease).

One died shortly after his vaccination. He developed high fever and after a few days his aorta bursted.

It’s just anecdotal data, I know.
Agreed. Loading and running arbitrary Java byte code should not be possible from user code. Only the runtime system should have this ability.
The early "fact-check" you linked to doesn't claim "that AZ doesn't cause blood clots". Its conclusion:

"Whether there is an actual connection is still under investigation and will be closely monitored as vaccination with AstraZeneca's vaccine resumes."

2nd Log4j Vulnerability
I'm seeing instances of it making the debt worse rather than better. E.g. some folks are just forcing latest log4j libs into builds even for services that don't have it or need it in central dependencies, as it's more expedient than trying to be precise and only bump where necessary.

It is good that you are honest about crypto motivations. I wish others were at least also honest too.
Simple example, but racism is simply a form of genetic ingroup preference.

Can you imagine, perchance, how groups who practiced ingroup preference would, over time, come to outcompete and ultimately defeat/destroy/dissolve groups that didn't?

Does it seem clear to you why all historical societies practiced ingroup preference, and the vast majority still do? Or are you confused on how that works?

Our society's concept of who the ingroup should be defined as is novel and still in flux. In fact it's pretty much the core question that is dividing our civilization at this point. Confusion on this point may well still lead to our downfall in the long term, so don't feel so certain about the simplistic moral narratives that are taught in school.

We still don't know how any of this will turn out. Certainly rival societies like China are not following our path - be humble enough to recognize that they may turn out to be right.
You have $N hosts and CDN's in the world and $M web developers. If you can affect $N that's a pretty big win for every web developer, not just the one that has enough experience to understand how and why css/js frameworks are ultimately as "easy and fast" as the marketing page said. I'm sure the trend of web performance and best practices will improve as tooling to showcase these issues get easier and better by the day; but making the car more efficient is a different problem to a wider, more stable and ultimately faster motorway.
Oh, also it's a capacitor, not a resistor. I don't think that changes the explanation, though.

Also it could become useful.
First, I'll say that the USA enjoys an absurd quality of life - but only in some aspects.

Infrastructure, transparency, and just shit working is really amazing in the USA. Plus, access to USA markets is incredible. Being able to have same day delivery of groceries is mind blowing to people abroad. So, I really consider all of it, not just roads and bridges, as part of our 'infrastructure' and it's really good in the USA.

That being said, there are a lot of things that money can't buy, and culture is one of those things that's virtually priceless. It just takes time to develop. I don't mean to imply the USA doesn't have culture, of course it does, but it doesn't have X, or Y, or Z country's cultures.

I stayed in Mexico for about 11 months for example and I can honestly say I just 'felt' happier. Yes, sometimes I was super pissed because everything was broken: sometimes there's not water, power is constantly browning out (I really mean on a continuous basis), and the government in the south of mexico can be a mess. These kinds of things get perpetuated and affect the citizens as well over generations... yet still, Mexican culture was amazing and I enjoyed my quality of life there.

This is unfortunately something that's hard to put into numbers, but obviously there are proxies for it like the numbeo list in this thread. It's a personal subject though ultimately, because it's a qualitative assessment, so that's why I hesitated to "speculate", but thanks for asking :-)

That being said, I'm now in Italy and I got to say I like it even more here. Northern Italy in so many ways has the best that all of Europe has to offer. You can basically drink the alps on tap, any where you go, people are super duper smart, kind, hilarious, passionate, and then there's the food and all that other stuff. It's a lot more expensive here (for reference one could live easily in the south of mexico, like Oaxaca City, for about $500 USD if they wanted or $800 USD if they didn't feel like messing around with finding an affordable place), but it's also much cheaper than living in San Francisco was, and again the quality of life is much higher.

I actually think in general professionals will reach a point in the USA where they'll start spreading out, just like this article says, but it won't be limited to domestic destinations. Other countries, with aging populations, will start to attract these people, and they'll go abroad and start businesses and families. This is how the world has always worked. Italy for example was the pinnacle of the world now 2 times in history, they're kind of used to it, but the USA is just beginning its journey.

Sorry, that was probably a little meandering, bear with me, but hopefully that's satisfactory? I'm totally happy to talk more, I'm just not sure what people are interested in hearing, if anything haha. Ok have a nice day everyone.

At the time Clubhouse was being hyped in Twitter, a startup hired me as a growth engineer (read, social media manager). I went through tons of twitter threads of viral growth case studies. Everyone was so preachy about Clubhouse and Hey.com. They sold the idea that those were the greatest things ever to hit the startup space. The "invite only business with viral fame on twitter" felt like the only way to a sell startup in the 2020-21 era.

Writing this comment now, I feel nothing but hate and bitterness for Twitter's hypocrisy in the dev/hacker circle there. Discovering a good idea or content worth value from twitter is like finding a needle in a bunch of needles.
You might want to look into Qt for the native stuff. It's naturally cross-platform, but it also looks terrific too. It's got bindings for at least C++ and Python, it might have bindings for C# or wherever you're using WPF.

1. I use RSS for blogs, software version tracking (e.g. the linux kernel), and serial content (webnovels, comics, etc.) I used to use it for news, but the dispropotionate output of different sites cluttered the feeds and didn't work well for me, so I visit news sites manually for now.

2. I use sfeed with dmenu (and read content in the browser). Low resource usage, simple setup, scriptable. I have not been happy with any of the (android) smartphone-based RSS software that I've tried. The interfaces are clumsy, and trying to sort through the giant list of content on a touchscreen with my fat fingers without error was frustrating.

3. Not at all. I don't use any of the big social media, and for more niche social media (like HN), I don't use RSS.

4. This is not a problem, in my experience. RSS/atom are pretty simple and have implementations in nearly every widely used software stack on the web, so pretty much every site has an rss feed (although they don't always advertise it!). However, if I absolutely needed updates on a specific site that didn't have a feed and didn't care enough to manually check it everyday, I would probably just use curl to scrape it.

5. Yes.
i think similarity between Common Lisp and Emacs Lisp should be pointed out more often. if you learn Emacs Lisp you have almost learned Common Lisp too. at least to the point where reading the Common Lisp Hyperspec would be a breeze

i point this out since Common Lisp is a language with huge potential for industrial applications and heavy computations. the utility of Emacs Lisp is non existent beyond emacs. of course, if you use Emacs the program to its full potential then knowing Emacs Lisp is also a huge deal
1) There was a hypothesis (reddit comment, not medical) that a degree of myocarditis might be due to people not resting for the few days after vaccination - especially young men and kids, ignoring very mild fatigue/symptoms to play sport or do physical labouring the next day - overly stressing the heart.

2) I'm surprised the dosage for moderna hasn't been reduced to 50 mcg for first and second doses (especially for young men) since it seems to provide similar protection to the full 100mcg doses: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0264410X2...

3) I'd wager we end up with more frequent, smaller doses as this goes on. Moderna at 25 mcg was shown to have some protective effect, note however pfizer didn't reach marginal gains in antibody response, with dosages instead being limited by side-effects, but still had some effect at even 1 mcg (standard dose 30 mcg) https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2814-7

4) A longer series of smaller doses might be preferable for the vaccine hesitant also - if you start getting noteworthy side-effects then you can terminate the programme.

Empirical proof seems to indicate that your theory is wrong. Look at the infection numbers in Israel for example how they track pretty well with their vaccination campaign.
That seems like the right thing to do to me. You can override the default for your remote hosts, but any nonstandard terminal emulator should probably not pretend to be a standard terminal emulator that secretly knows a bunch of tricks.

If you're using such a terminal, adding alias ssh="TERM=screen ssh" would probably fix most of your issues without sacrificing functionality in the rest of the system or relying on applications assuming your terminal is more capable than it says to be.
Uh, we don't really have a control group anymore. This whole rollout has been rife with callous disregard for the usual protocols.

The severity of vaccine-induced myocarditis is far worse than virus-induced too. You have to have a very severe infection for the spike protein to accumulate in your heart, whereas the LNP delivery system gravitates to the heart due to its fat content. We have seen this in various biodistribution studies.
I am curious, how frequently does GitLab backup their DB? 3 hours seems pretty recent
This is true, though it’s worth mentioning that 0-RTT on TLS 1.3 + HTTP/2 still has one more roundtrip (for the TCP connection) than 0-RTT HTTP/3. Plus even if you don’t enable 0-RTT on either there’s still a one roundtrip difference in favor of HTTP/3, since it combines the (equivalent of) the TCP establishment roundtrip and the TLS handshake roundtrip. That’s the real advantage in connection establishment.
1688.com
Yes, TLS1.3 cuts out a RTT compared to TLS1.2, but QUIC cuts out another RTT by combining the TCP and TLS handshakes into one.

For a full handshake:
TCP + TLS1.2: 3 RTT
TCP + TLS1.3: 2 RTT
QUIC including TLS1.3: 1 RTT

And for subsequent connections:
TCP + TLS1.3: 1 RTT
QUIC including TLS1.3: 0 RTT (but no replay attack protection)
Interesting technique.

I'm still not very convinced by this research.

That myocarditis is so rare and the increase is so small. People might have changed their behavior in 28 days after getting the vaccine. Younger people especially. They might have started to expose themselves to other people more which might lead to them getting in contact with myriad of other mild viruses that might carry unknown risk of myocarditis.

> We estimated an extra two (95% confidence interval (CI) 0, 3), one (95% CI 0, 2) and six (95% CI 2, 8) myocarditis events per 1 million people vaccinated with ChAdOx1, BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273, respectively, in the 28 days following a first dose and an extra ten (95% CI 7, 11) myocarditis events per 1 million vaccinated in the 28 days after a second dose of mRNA-1273. This compares with an extra 40 (95% CI 38, 41) myocarditis events per 1 million patients in the 28 days following a SARS-CoV-2 positive test.

The way I read it, they counted 2+1+6=9 incidences more for one dose, another 10 for two doses (total 19), compared to 40 more if you got Covid. So basically the vaccine decreased the incidence for the infected.
It's not quite like that.

It's not that 1967 design is unsafe, nor that the MAX design is unsafe.

The problem is that 737 pilots were allowed to fly MAX max without recertification. A recert would cost a lot for the airlines, so Boeing pushed the idea that MAX is a drop-in replacement for the vanilla 737.

The whole idea was to make a more efficient version of the 737 with no substantial changes in flight characteristics. As it turns out, the change in behaviour is substantial.

The foul play is Boeing pushing the regulatory agency in the US around, and the agency succumbing to it.

You linked to an article that literally concludes with the sentence:

"Whether there is an actual connection is still under investigation and will be closely monitored as vaccination with AstraZeneca's vaccine resumes."

This is exactly what we should all expect to happen. I don't doubt for a second that there will be citable examples of doctors or media claiming that this particular vaccine did not—or was unlikely to—cause clots. But the statement "I remember doctors and media denying AstraZeneca Blood cloths for months" is clearly intended to misrepresent the actual situation.

Just so everyone is clear here:

a) CSAM scanning only ever applied to photos being uploaded via iCloud Photo Library. It was never applied to photos that you weren't giving to Apple nor any other files.

b) The "but they could expand it to anything else" logic is baseless and frankly stupid. Why ? Because they wrote the operating system. They could implement this feature in any of the 100+ daemons that are currently running as root and no one would ever know.

c) It was a better solution for user privacy than what exists today i.e. Apple secretly scans your photo server-side. Which you gave them permission to when you agreed to the EULA for iCloud.
Surely that must be a politically motivated stance.
I’d not want to work next to someone who’s unvaccinated, as even when I am vaccinated, I can still catch it from someone, so sounds like a good move to me.
So in other words, covid is a vaccine against covid that actually works, and the vaccines are not vaccines against covid, don't, and also have cumulative negative externalities.

So far all the comments are predictably negative and imply that Apple will at some time in the future attempt to covertly implement the feature in secret.

Another take would be that they took on-board the extensive public criticism, and changed their minds.

A write-up of the processes/algorithms being used to generate the images would add more excitement to the article. Is the author running P5.js in a script serverside and using a headless browser (PhantomJS or equivalent) to generate the images? What technical problems did they encounter and how were they overcome?

As to the art, I'm guessing it's a form of Perlin noise plus particles setup that is currently quite popular on /r/generative - an interesting thing of itself[1], but I'd hope to see the algorithms adapt or evolve as the weeks and months pass by.

A fairly good point. Modern adtech is kind of the induced demand of internet bandwidth - that is, when new bandwidth is available, adtech will grow to fill that bandwidth. I guess this is also analogous to the fact that our computers are WAYYY faster now than 20 years ago, but user experience of application performance is roughly similar due to the tools used to build applications eating up a lot of that performance to make it easy to build them (electron, WPF, QT, browsers, etc).

While this sounds great, not allocating storage for swap means either you'll have that space unallocated or you won't have any swap because your system is full.
