Did you notice those improvements or did you just do benchmarks to see if they improved? Not everyone's needs are the same of course, but I have no complaints about my seven year old Nighthawk R7000. Latency-sensitive devices like game consoles are ethernet, phones and laptops are 5GHz, and everything else is 2.4GHz.
The issue is the R naught. (Arrr Not)

This is the number of people you will spread the infection to.

Flu has a R of 1.

Covid Alpha/Beta have a R of 3-5.

Delta has a R7-9.

Omicron is allegedly 15+, and unlike anything we’ve ever seen outside Measles.

Giving you a death rate of 1% infected, to keep it easy. Current numbers in the US are 1.56%.

So, 1% dead of spread of a R1 is going to be a lot slower and manageable versus 1% of R7. The exponential (Logarithmic?) rise of infections will kill a lot more, a lot faster, and have knock-on effects everywhere within the healthcare system, and society as a whole.

The only hope is that by rule, typical virus evolutions are less virulent, but we’re still not sure of that at this time. The big fear with omicron is that the spike protein mutations are immune-system dodging and faster infecting/more contagious, but that the payload within is still functionally the same. The mutations not on the spike are not changed enough that virologists are hopeful at this time.

Sorry, wall of text. Hope this addresses the question.

> COVID-19 vaccines will not be enough to withstand the Omicron variant, warned the CEO of BioNTech, the German company behind the mRNA vaccine produced with Pfizer. "We must be aware that even triple-vaccinated are likely to transmit the disease…It is obvious we are far from 95 per cent effectiveness that we obtained against the initial virus."
How are they making money with that? What’s the catch?
Facebook is just a symptom.

To stop surveillance capitalism more then an email to congress is needed, starting with an amendment to the United States Constitution that declares a human right to personal data and digital privacy (like article 8 of the charta of fundamental rights of the european union.)

Abstractly there are three major ideas related to this: corporations are free to buy, process and sell any data they can however they want, 2) governments have access to all data 3) humans are to be protected from governments and corporations

America does not believe in 3 anymore when it comes to digital data. Changing this will take more then some 1-click-democracy portals sending e-mails to congress - and harvesting contact data for engagement.
Some authors claim many markets are winner takes all, where the dominant firm takes 75% or more of the profits, with the rest split between one or two followers.

So if you want to learn how to start one of those I think strategy is critical, not trying to retrofit one onto an existing product.

It's like any architecture. Better to do the thinking before the building.

But yes, it's far easier to learn anything when you're applying it too. Sure you could learn by trial and error but why not take advantage of the collective learning of an industry?

> There is zero evidence that you can get clinical depression ... socially

it's more likely that because someone you know or interact with socially admitting to having depression, and thus, clear the stigma for yourself to also admit/recognize it too. Might actually be a good outcome.
The 3% from the meta analysis above was not for a single "best case scenario fitness regime". It was a number calculated by pooling data from ~28 studies with varied methodologies. A significant portion of those studies employed dietary changes alone (no fitness regime).
I recently threw together a React page that included some Lottie’s. Impressive! Had a couple issues with bundled bitmap assets but pretty easily overcome with Data URIs. I’ll definitely keep it in the ol’ tool-belt.

CDC changed their definition in Sept. 2021, https://www.miamiherald.com/news/coronavirus/article25411126...

> Before the change, the definition for “vaccination” read, “the act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce immunity to a specific disease.” Now, the word “immunity” has been switched to “protection.” The term “vaccine” also got a makeover. The CDC’s definition changed from “a product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease” to the current “a preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases.”
> The phylogenetic tree of life is organized not on the characteristics, but on the evolutionary origin of species.

My mother's old university biology textbook presents this as one of a few "equally valid" visions for how taxonomy should be organized.

I agree with the modern view that it's the only valid vision, but it's interesting to see it presented in a "teach the controversy" way, and we can see from the comments above that other views have their defenders today.

However obvious gross physical characteristics may appear, evolutionary closeness is much more informative as to most questions. It tells you when things tend to be the same by default, as opposed to being the same due to similar environmental constraints.
I might even describe it as less nuanced.
I disagree. This seems to me to be the heart of tinkering. We don't always have the tools we need so sometimes improvise and especially since it was a cheap board and he knew the risks it seems perfectly fine to me. If everything needed to be perfect every time a lot of things would never happen. I smiled at that part of the story.
They might struggle with dyslexia, like me. I am basically dependent on the computer to write. I don't use spell check, because I know how everything is spelled, but I need to constantly look back at the screen because it comes out of my fingers differently.

But HIV/AIDS does kill a lot of people.
Anecdotal, but I got my first bought of covid in Feb. 2020, and it was very flu-like for me. I've had 2 more infections after that (one, didn't even know, and the next was like a mild cold). In South Florida, we barely had a lockdown.
That story is not as simple as you make it sound...

<dissolve/fade to flashback>

The team was "android at home" and the year was 2012. This was google's first effort at home automation, and besides $60 lightbulbs you could turn off wirelessly that nobody at the time needed, we had the Q. The main focus for Q was audio. Fancy, high quality audio. It had a very nice amp. It even had very fancy hardware to allow synchronized audio playback without software resampling (an oscillator we could change the frequency of to pull it to master's freq). There was a second device in the works - a cheaper one, since Q was not at all cheap to make. We had a huge TV in our area of the building. And one day, on said TV, we saw the announcement of chromecast. By google. This was the first any of us heard of it. It did 90% of what our device did, but we were targeting $xxx and it was $15... At this point in time, the android and the non-android parts of google did not communicate much, and kept many secrets from each other. I doubt the folks in the chrome team even knew of our project. At google IO we took preorders for the Q, but given this new "chromecast" thing, it made no sense to continue, so everyone who pre-ordered one got one for free, and no support was ever provided, nor were any updates. In theory, the android bits for it are published and you can build android for it just fine.
In the Denmark numbers above, only 4.3% of Omicron infections were Covid-recovered, compared to 77% being double-vax, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29633285
I thought Vala was pretty much dead and not recommended for new apps/extensions at this point?
Context of the illegal image matters too. I'd be very pissed if it was a common shock image like goatse or a dead body, but more understanding if it was child porn. Basically would it be permissible on reddit?

I do use namecheap and don't check my email every month, so that is quite worrying.
Yeah, I just might. Others aren’t as lucky.
His argument was: "$x kills people... and annoys me... We should ban it."
Being excited to never meet a colleague in person again is definitely an extreme. It is 100% abnormal.

Please don’t act like someone who claims to be extroverted but suddenly is like - “yeah, my colleagues? Fuck those dudes. I hope I never see them in person! Thank baby Jesus!” Short of working at only toxic companies - this is really abnormal behavior.

No one I know who is extroverted, isn’t live or die by FIRE, and works with good people wants to be WFH forever and never see a colleague in person again. “Ah, yeah, I spend 40+ hours a week with these people and they’re great people and I love people but fuuuuuuck them.” Nope - doesn’t add up. Try again!
> absolutely no definitive evidence that Omicron is somehow less lethal

Pretty much all evidence coming out of South Africa is showing that omicron is very mild and hospitalizations are extremely rare.
I can't help but suspect that this is a larping account https://old.reddit.com/user/thanosrain

No activity in other health related subreddits

All posts are obviously militant and politically linked to topics related to QAnon and anti-vaxxers.

All the posts are generic advice and none of the writings reflect a profound expertise in science nor medicine. Most of the information posted by the author can be found on public government websites and news articles. Having listened to a lot of practicing physicians interviews during the last two years (and having family working in the field) the contrast in deep technical understanding and jargon is clear as day and night. At best he works in a hospital, maybe as a low-tier nurse.

I get it that nurses would quit and find other jobs, but a doctor with "14 years of medical school"?

He says that he worked "many decades" plus 14 years of school. Assuming he went med school at 20 and "many decades" is 3 decades, he would be at least 64 years old. That's very unlikely given Reddit's users demographics (https://www.oberlo.com/blog/reddit-statistics) where users of 65 only constitutes 1% of the user base. Being a militant progressive makes it even more unlikely for the same demographic reasons. If it is two decades or less, than this is not "many decades".
I've come to believe that weird is normal. No one has their shit together 100%.

Your version of normal is "don't rock the boat" normal. Rocking the boat is painful emotionally so don't do it normal.

I've spent a lot of time in therapy trying to undo that version of normal and figure out who I really am. And you're probably perfectly fine in your version of normal. Which really illustrates that mental health is very personal and multidimensional. It doesn't mean I'm fucked up and you're not or visa versa. Gotta meet people where they're at.
I may be mistaken since I'm not directly a part of this, but the way I understand this works is the other way around: it's the PMs who more or less come up with the API specs / explore upstream APIs, and it's also them who will do the querying. So they're the "first" as well as the "main" users of those collections.

So basically, as they expect to be able to write their own requests and save / share them, they would have to either directly interact with git (which they'd rather avoid - at all) either have the "real devs" provide some kind of functionality similar to postman but backed by git. Needless to say, we're not in the business of developing a postman competitor, so devs have other things to do.
point 1 is just false. some examples where it's perfectly acceptable to use a bad rng in a safety critical system

factoring/prime checking algorithms

any type of stimulation (eg for drug dosing/particle stimulation)

sorting algorithms

most graph based algorithms.

in short, many real works problems are best solved by random algorithms, but the randomness can be of fairly low quality without causing problems.
In March of last year, two weeks before I was due to move to a new apartment, the water heater in my old apartment broke.

Those two weeks of cold showers were some of the unhappiest in my life. The dread of standing naked in the shower with your hand on the knob. The involuntary spasmodic shivering when the jet of icy water hits your trunk. Panicked attempts to rinse off soap and shampoo that just don't want to foam in water that cold.

No. Never again. No.

My favorite moment of project synergy was back when Kodi was called XBMC, it ran on the original Xbox, and it could be used as an alternate Xbox dashboard in addition to being a media library/player.

One of the extensions it added was a front-end for https://www.teamxlink.co.uk/ , one of the original services for tunneling local multiplayer online.

Around the same time, https://dd-wrt.com/ added Linksys WRT54G builds with XLink Kai backend support. So I was able to load that build on my router and keep a persistent connection to service while using XBMC's frontend to pick a lobby and load Halo 2 from disc into multiplayer mode.

What you're really getting at is that the end of the racetrack might increase property values by quite a lot, even if the existing residents don't have the money to make the investment.

But then someone else could do it. Rich investor goes around to everyone in the neighborhood and offers to buy their house for $25,000 over market, contingent on enough people (including the racetrack) agreeing to sell to make it worth their while. Then if that many people sign up, they resell all the properties for a profit now that the racetrack is gone and all the property values have gone up by $50,000 each.

The result is that the people who live there now might not be able to live there after, but that's only because the racetrack is the reason they can afford to live there now. Otherwise the property would have been more than they can afford from the start.

”Just because you don't know what the plan is, doesn't mean there isn't one.”

This is exactly what I’d say if I didn’t have a plan.

Wasn’t it BC that manipulated covid cases in the hospital setting and had to own up to the correct data?

And no, the current vaccines aren’t getting us out of this. Look at Singapore with 95% of eligible population vaccinated - they had a raging wave last month where 80%+ of the cases were fully vaccinated.

The vaccines keep them out of the hospital but don’t seem to do much for infection or transmission risk (see Lancet analysis).
The fact that it had a heatspreader probably made the heating much less rapid than it could've been with a bare-die CPU like an old Athlon or some of the mobile ones.
websites aren't that much problematic as we can use adblocker easily. But what are you going to do in andriod app? Education app/ bank app were sending a lot of data to facebook which was causing headache to me. I can't even block whole asn because my mom use it to chat with relatives. They literally have integrated in app supply chain which makes the situation abysmal.
It is not a 25% population requirement, its a 5% one, that is, you only need 5% of voters to vote for your party in senate seats effective hold onto a majority proof veto.

The senate is fundamentally an anti-democratic rule-by-minority institution that represents land area over top of human beings.

Its as serious as a problem some other democracies and polities have faced

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotten_and_pocket_boroughs

In the UK it almost caused a revolution, because it allowed the wealthy and corrupt to hold onto power, while denying representation to new cities with huge population.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sejm_of_the_Polish%E2%80%93Lit...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberum_veto

In the Polish Lithuanian commonwealth every senator held veto power, in practice this meant that an insane amount of corruption occurred (including senators being bought off by foreign nations), and it totally neutered their power as a state to fend of military rivals, and eventually ended up with the nation conquered.

The senate is in desperate need of reform, and is a key part of why democracy is failing in the USA.

I hate to be skeptical because I have doctor friends that have similar covid stories, but this post is quite sensational, newsworthy even. I wonder if the user would be receptive to verifying themselves with the mods.

A vote in favour of Authy. Works well and easy to transfer to a new phone ( I even did it when my phone died while overseas ). It even has a desktop version (which I use on Linux ).
> backend only

Lol, not even close pal

> tsc cold starts in terminal

??? Why would it be only possible to cold start in the terminal and hot start in the IDE?

> you update the code, the IDE tells you the error

Well, we’re making ridiculous assumptions about each other, do you only code in a single TS file? How on earth do you never impact a call site that isn’t the one you’re looking at immediately? The IDE is useless in this case. Option click to open offending lines is way more valuable than red highlighting that may or may not be stale

> why isn’t the browser updated 2sec after

But it clearly is? Maybe you have some bad use of tsc watch or something. I suggest you revisit your dev command…

One doesn’t need to look far to find similar circumstances in the public record. While the Reddit post could be an elaborate creative writing exercise, there’s many recent news articles about upswings of violence against healthcare workers where circumstances similar to the Reddit post (patient visitation restrictions) were implicated in both verbal and physical violence. Below are examples.

I was responding to the above question about preventing death not infection.
"Scientists stubbled upon the fossilized remains of an ancient millipede the length of a small car dating from before the time of the dinosaurs."

Setting aside the fact that the scientists apparently forgot to shave that morning, I was unaware that there were small cars dating from before the time of the dinosaurs.

Pedantic, maybe, but I can't help but think this could have been worded better.

"Scientists stuMbled upon fossilized remains, dating from before the time of the dinosaurs, of an ancient millipede the length of a small car."
Most CMOS imaging sensors in digital cameras do scan, but not like a push-broom sensor. The push-broom sensor only has a single line of pixels that physically moves (or that something moves across), like in a scanner or a photocopier. But as others have said, those sensors might also be fabricated with CMOS technology.

Whereas your normal digital camera has a fixed rectangular array of pixels, and the scanning is just reading them progressively (what's called 'rolling shutter') because it's hard to read them all quickly enough at once. Some more expensive sensors do 'global shutter' which usually has better motion characteristics for video.
And not even that. FTA: “a creature thought to be three times as long — measuring 2.7 meters long (nearly 9 feet)”

A fiat 500 Cinquecento, at 2.97 m, already is longer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_500), and that’s a very small car, by current standards. The new Fiat 500 is 3.55 m, almost 20% longer. It’s more like a microcar (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcar) or the electric Citroen Ami

As to weight, it indeed is lighter, much lighter. FTA: “and weighing about 50 kilograms”
Agreed, making it more natural to create apps in a way that follows Flutter best practices is a desirable end goal. There's so much to improve, it's exciting :-)
I suspect you are being downvoted because of your question about what it means to have died from COVID.

I agree this is a trope which is trotted out by vaccine deniers and even those who said that COVID itself was a hoax before that.

However, 1500 people in the UK die on an average day. Remember back in the days we were able to point to the number of excess deaths in the UK? 14 people dead in 2 weeks is very near the noise floor. Unfortunately what we would like to know is how much longer these people would have lived without COVID. I suspect this is not knowable.
Consider song writing. You have a framework in mind, and a pretty good idea of the end goal. You know from the start if it's a ballad or a stadium rocker. But rarely does a song writer sit down and steadily write a song from beginning to end.

There are inspired periods. There are tired periods. Starts and fits. Amazing stuff comes out, but there wasn't a straight and narrow path taken to get to it.

Developing and coding are really similar that way. Some coders may be particularly capricious. But even they aren't robots.
If you're in the EU, take a look at https://www.inwx.com/en — I'm a client for the last 12 (!) years and they're still doing the same: Just. Fricking. Domains.
