What is cruel, is not doing the bare minimum as a member of society and needlessly taking up precious ER resources that other responsible and well-meaning members of society might need.

To clarify, rather than denial of entry, I am suggesting deprioritization in the ER.

If someone got into a car crash tomorrow and the ER is full, given a similar expected mortality between the crash victim and antivaxxer, the antivaxxer should be ejected to make room.

Today we are already seeing that antivaxxers are saturating ERs and people have to wait hours for serious issues. I do not think it is particularly controversial to say that the antivaxxer is less deserving of care.
Platform censorship is barely legal per my view of section 230 which I have studied thoroughly.

It's also highly immoral for them to craft their own narrative out of user generated content which was never the intention of 230. The crafting of a narrative of available information and the presentation thereof is called opinion which is the province of publishers.

It is incorrect, at least in the US, that "the majority of deaths is way above the median life expectancy". While people over 75 have been hit the hardest, they are less than half the deaths, and Covid has caused US life expectancy to drop by two years.
Been reading A Gentleman in Moscow for a while. Haven’t finished yet, but I find it thorougly enjoyable.
Well just as long as it would mean that people would actually get punished for bad driving. Right now things are a bit bizarre in that bad driving is mostly OK if you are not drunk. There is no general duty of care. If you didn't do it on purpose then it is just an accident.
We are getting trolled so hard. Some people are really in awe over this. Including the blogger.
I had Covid last March, before testing was a thing, it wasn't much worse than any other flu. Several co-workers came down with it as well, one very bad, but recovered.

I on the other hand, haven't been so lucky. I've had shortness of breath ever since. I used to work on my feet 8+ hours/day... now if I go grocery shopping, I barely make it home and through putting the food away, and have to rest for a few hours.

I ran through a ton of test last year, for all sorts of issues, nothing out of the ordinary showed up, thus the conclusion that it's long Covid.
Please explain. He’s one of the last journalists that I still trust these days. Care to elaborate on your claims?

Why would you buy a Gucci bag when any other bag can hold your belongings too? You're going to pay 10x more for a bag because it's constructed a little bit better? No. There's a reason they plaster their logos all over those things. It's so you can show others you're wealthy enough to afford Gucci.

Think of NFTs like digital Gucci and Prada.

They are used for social status signaling. This is very important to some to show elevated importance and wealth. For example Jay-Z bought a $120K CryptoPunk NFT and used it for his Twitter profile photo.

Some NFTs can also get you into exclusive clubs and parties. Again, signaling. But now you get to hobnob with other high net worth individuals. This too has a lot of value for some.

It's a tale as old as time, just in the digital world. Maybe it's just some fad that will fizzle out. Regardless, if so then those who can afford this will move on to buy something else to signal their wealth and eliteness.

Besides all of this, they're used for speculation and money laundering.

Free software is of fundamental importance as computing becomes a part of everything. The day is coming when you won't even be able to control your own thermostat.
If that's the case, then the NFT is no longer the thing proving authenticity, the artist is. Then what is the NFT for?
Wow wild ride - well written too. This guy has a future ahead of himself.
Tablet-like touch screens for cars need to just fuck off. Tactical, physical, buttons, knobs and dials are so superior and quite frankly, safer.
I'm sure those of us that have worked for big companies know that there's no way a feature like this got added unintentionally. It takes hours of meetings, reviews, documentation, QA, and sign offs before functionality like this reaches the buyer. They're making it sound like a crafty programmer right out of college snuck it in somehow.
I would be confused if 1/2gt^2 would mean anything but 1/2 g t^2 and 0.5 g t^2. 1/3x in isolation may look a bit unusual, but with context the choice between 1/3 x and x / 3 may actually convey additional information, information about the structure of the calculation. Manipulating an equation into some kind of normal form may lose information.
That all sounds great... But none of your examples require, or are even improved, by being internet connected.
Any modern car would just be a cloud of plastic and aluminum dust around a 90's era Volvo in a collision.
"...those scientists who objected the dogma have been sent to a reeducation facility in Alaska."
This is kind of sad.

Going back more than a decade ago, google.com used to be brutally optimized. Anything unnecessary was stripped to reduce load times and decrease network traffic. For example, attribute values were never quoted if they didn't have to be and closing tags like </html> were omitted. It was kind of fascinating to read how many terabytes of network traffic omitting </html> saved.

But then came the ill-fated boondoggle that was Google+ and with Google+ came the OneBar. This was the black bar across the top of the screen with key properties but, more importantly, the G+ login. The cost of this was really high.

We don't have the black bar anymore but a subset of links remain as does the login box, even if it isn't for G+ anymore. The Google home page just isn't the lean page it once was.

That doesn't make me mad, unlike say AMP, which makes me incredibly angry. But still I can't help but take it as a sign of lost values.
I wonder how accurate are the results really, or maybe I wasn't interpreting the numbers correctly. Accessing Google.com from my Moto G7 Power (a phone about 30% faster than G4 in terms of CPU performance) shows no seconds long delay. In face it feels almost instant.

On the other hand it seems to give a fair critique to other sites that are known to be bloated such as the one below.

To be clear, yes. With the section tag. Sometimes I even add javascript to the style section without any object orientation. Stop the presses.
That's what confuses me. Some people say race is a construct, but then why do ads for sickle cell medicine only have black actors in them?

I don't see how cloaking or censoring ideas of race benefits humanity. I know there's specific problems that are more common in my race. I WANT doctors and scientists to acknowledge that and use that information to improve treatments.

I don't feel outraged, just sort of confused as to what the incentives at play here are.
I’m there now too but still work for an EU startup. Weird to think there’s such a difference - I’d be freaked out leaving for something without a written agreement!
Is there an official docker image anywhere?
My ASICs mine Bitcoin directly, while my GPUs mine Ethereum but I'm paid in Bitcoin, which is a function of NiceHash. More often than not mining Ethereum directly using something like HiveOS is more profitable, but I opt for NiceHash because the convenience is more valuable to me than the fractional benefit of mining Ethereum directly. Also, I personally would rather hold Bitcoin. But that is just me.

In terms of ETH2, it is already quite profitable to mine ERGO or RVN or other proof-of-work GPU mineable coin algorithms (search for "what to mine" in your preferred search engine). The biggest question is, when ETH2 comes (whenever that is) will the profitability of ERGO and RVN increase or decrease with the influx of miners? Sure difficulty will spike massively, but in my opinion it is also likely that the value of these cryptocurrencies spike as well, however proportional.

The truth is no one really knows. I have an idea, but I could be wrong.
Yes, it's certainly not cheap. But the whole setup including memory cards and other accessories was less than a Sony a1 body (no lens) by over $1000. It's basically right below the "knee" in the exponential price increases. The next steps up are the a1 and the 400mm f/2.8 lens (with 1.4x and 2x teleconverters), that lens is $12,000 and the teleconverters are $550 each. The 600mm f/4 lens is the top of the line, can also use the teleconverters, and is another $13,000.

So cash wise I'm well below top-of-the-line. But in overall gear capabilities I'm honestly really close, the added speed of the big prime lenses also comes at a cost of reduced compositional versatility (and size/weight).
With an exception of a few, they are not kid puzzles.

Instead of helping her do her simple kids puzzles, she helps me do my whimsical [0] adult puzzles. It's a win-win. We both get what we want, and because I enjoy it more she enjoys it more.

[0] Wooden puzzles often have special pieces shaped like animals or other objects. These pieces are called whimsical pieces. It's one of the draws of wooden puzzles.

The other huge draw is the puzzle designer can make cuts along edges so the individual pieces do not look like they fit together when they do.
These sound fantastic. I’ll give them a read.

> but unfortunately Adobe didn't invest much time or money into making them interactive with a scripting language.

Yes, they did. (Non-Adobe readers often don't support JS, though some do, but Adobe definitely built the support for interactivity.)

Also 3D content and a lot of other things most people probably aren't aware of, because they are peripheral to the common use cases of PDF.
Maybe that leveling is itself justice.
Lost you at "Typical FOSS dog shit"

I've used Joplin and while it has some rare rough edges (but then what hasn't) but my comment isn't about Joplin per-se.

You really sound super entitled when you demand for what you think are basic features in an app. It's FOSS, don't like don't use or fork and contribute.

Calling it extreme harsh words like "dog shit" just made me lose respect for your opinion, anyway.
What science in particular is not getting done now, due to the replacement of the term race in scientific papers? Be specific. You seem deeply passionate about this issue, so I'm sure you have plenty of examples.
I admit it, I don't have the full context, so to some extent I "fell for it" (the outrage-bait) just like everyone else. And in fact I agree with your principles here. So I should at least be clear that while I said the quoted bits are not exactly benign, they're not a frigging war crime either. It's not like he forced hundreds of Chinese workers to work 84-hour work weeks until they wanted to commit suicide, and then built jump-nets to stop them doing that, oh snap, what'd I say? Who was that typing on my keyboard? Get out of here, anonymous keyboard-typing guy, how'd you get in my house? Yeah you BETTER run!

The things that made me think "douchebag" were more subtle - like thinking what you'll need in the event of the 'pocalypse is shotgun shells and diesel. That's cute. Maybe if you control the spice, as well? Anyway for the record, what you'll need is boring mature crap like neighbors and friends, and friends among your neighbors and/or neighbors who are your friends, and doing nice things for them sometimes. Preferably a few Republicans among them, to watch over your house. I don't need shells if my 4th-amendment neighbor has them.

And (from another excerpt) the thing about seducing five women. Tacky! Plus, I've never seduced anybody. That's my "handsome privilege" talking of course, but yeah, they all seduce me. Don't work so hard. (Now who's a douchebag?)

Finally, as a small but still-worth-mentioning footnote, the fact that (back to the first excerpt) to get all the shotgun shells and diesel, he would "trade" a female human. That probably contributed to rankling some people.
South Africa has an epidemiologically sophisticated population. That is, most people have already been exposed to Covid-19, conveying natural immunity, despite low vaccination rates (of about 25%).

Extrapolating SA findings to other countries may be premature, though the actual severity of the Omicron variant remains an area of intense interest and investigation.

Mild or otherwise, the US will all but certainly know within a month. Wishing for the more convenient answer may prove harmful or deadly to many.
I’m playing with a side project idea that requires sending scheduled emails like this.

Would you be willing to briefly discuss what you use for scheduled emails? My plan so far is to just save email schedules into a DB table with a time stamp they’re due and have a cron job that frequently checks it, but I haven’t gotten a chance to test the scalability and performance of this.
> There's nothing that makes this capability unique to NFTs or crypto

Yeah, you're probably right here.

This is a slight pivot in discussion but - you're right, the proper license agreement (if enforced) would give a similar effect. And there's a strong argument that NFTs, DAOs for gathering capital, etc are just serving functions similar to Patreon or Kickstarter.

But there are a lot of projects popping up and getting varying degrees of attraction in the crypto space.

Maybe crypto isn't making many new things possible - but it might be making lots of things a little easier?
"The version of Article 19 in the ICCPR later amends this
by stating that the exercise of these rights carries
"special duties and responsibilities" and may "therefore be
subject to certain restrictions" when necessary "[f]or
respect of the rights or reputation of others" or "[f]or
the protection of national security or of public order
(order public), or of public health or morals."

So no, freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences.
I may be missing the point here (so please correct me if I am), but 'anchor' has been around for ages. I have seen several tutorial sites which use such elements to typically add a Hint to some discussion. Is there something novel have I missed?

Close. Custom built electric skateboards. If I say much more I’ll doxx myself (pretty much already have on this account, oh well, drgaf)

At the time I believe he hit 47mph on flat land with completely smooth pavement. As a community we’ve now hit 54mph clocked on an actual speed radar uphill, slightly above 54mph uphill on GPS (but we don’t brag about GPS readings - while they’ve often been spot on, we’ll always say +/-2mph for them), 67 mph on flat land…

Uphill was on custom poured rubber tires. 67mph flat land was on store available urethane wheels. Keep in mind that’s all electric with no energy from an initial downhill start.

We’ve skated with three of the four downhill record holders of 90mph+… they’re fucking insane in general, & the first time we put one on a custom eboard he hit 44mph flat land & stable with ease (steez)

On the note of danger… we’ve had somebody die from a 14mph flat land crash… yet my friend completely walked away from a 47mph crash wearing only a helmet and tumbling 360* four times… crashes over 40-45 mph in general get pretty fucking gnarly, I’ve seen a few people become seriously disabled or have to completely leave the sport from one, & all of the top dudes of the community wear full leather & more now that they’re pushing past 50mph.

It’s definitely fun stuff. There are some speeds you just shouldn’t be going on a plank of wood. As for me, I’ve clocked 48mph flat land on gps, 45 on radar speed trap. I got into the low 40’s roughly three months in to the hobby, but going past that is not particularly something I’m focused on at this point in my life. Over 45 mph on anything but perfectly smooth road (aka not often) gets to be genuinely scary & induces hardcore tunnel vision. Uphill & flat land is so much different than downhill. A speed wobble @ 38mph steep uphill may have genuinely been the scariest experience in my life, & I’ve had a gun in my face.
A more upfront way to do this is to get contract work as a consultant, and have at least some of your clients paying by project or retainer rather than strict hourly billing.

I built a discord bot to analyze the market of the OldSchool Runescape game once a public and fairly accurate item price API was launched.

The bot initially started as a fairly simple interface to display the real-time prices and graphs with the price history, but then as the core features were completed, it evolved into finding price spikes and dumps using simple algorithms.
Once the user base increased I released a paid membership to get the best notifications while keeping other features free, and it grew organically from there!
It's only been few months since it launched but it's generating well over $1k/m revenue so far.
Any sort of science which may suggest differences among ethnic groups, regardless of how useful it may be to study those differences.
You're conflating the 2400 year old concept of freedom of speech with the American first amendment.

Where did you learn this horrifying misconception?
How is this making science worse? It is replacing an objectively broad and misleading word with more precise language.
Amazon didn't invent AWS because they were more forward looking. Amazon invented AWS because they had idle computers most of the time to handle peak load, and they thought it would be a good way to monetize them.

And as much credit as Bezos gets, the new CEO of Amazon was the one who (as far as I know) was the one who insisted that all Amazons web development be done in a way that made it easy to set up AWS.
Agreed. This is one case that's not hyperbole.
Yep. Surprised the hell out of me too.

It’s called Liquid Mode in Reader, and it is, in fact, easily accessible.

HTML is better for some things, PDF for others. That's why PDF is widely used on the web when HTML is available.
while countries like China overtake us.

It makes one wonder who is really behind this movement. That said, it seems to come from only one direction of the political spectrum, so it's not like there isn't any opposition.
I don't understand how the criticisms in the comment section here are at all related to the actual journal article.

From the abstract of the paper: Throughout The Journal’s 70-year history, “ancestry” and “ethnicity” have increased in use, appearing in 33% and 26% of articles in 2009–2018, while the use of “race” has decreased, occurring in 4% of articles in 2009–2018. Although its overall use has declined, the odds of “race” appearing in the presence of “ethnicity” has increased relative to the odds of occurring in its absence. Forms of population descriptors “Caucasian” and “Negro” have largely disappeared from The Journal (<1% of articles in 2009–2018). Conversely, the continental labels “African,” “Asian,” and “European” have increased in use and appear in 18%, 14%, and 42% of articles from 2009–2018, respectively.

Am I missing something? Is it not more accurate in genetics to describe populations based on their originating location rather than the color of their skin?
You're quite welcome, and, BTW, I also edited out the rude phrase I used in my frustration trying to communicate my status here.

I don't know if you want to call it "piecework" per se or not, but, every tech job I've ever had has required me to make an estimate of what I think I can accomplish during a given period (generally a 2 week sprint). As long as there's no push back on whether that's sufficient or not from my manager, if I accomplish those things, it doesn't matter how long it takes. I can take 50 hours, or I can take 20, and I still get paid the same. I don't get paid additional money if I finish my original commitment in 20 hours, then take on more work, which, as you may understand, doesn't give me a great incentive to do so.
This reminds me a bit of TiddlyWiki, minus the whole "you can edit the file using the file itself" part.

I'm sure the google search juice would have helped even more...
Serious, yes.

Worst was the wholesale revoking & denying “blue checks” (objective confirmation of identity) to those of diverse sociopolitical persuasion. This established Twitter as no longer a neutral public forum, but as a biased publisher. “Fact checking” was consequentially established, canceling reasonable & common opinions and facts in favor of a core narrative. This inflection point will eventually doom the forum, however long it takes to go the way of others once-juggernaut now-forgotten town squares.

> The decline in usage of “race” reflects how geneticists slowly came to understand race as “a social category with biological consequences,” the team writes in its paper, published today in AJHG.

Soooo…a biological category.

The ironic part of all this is that it would be very easy to put the ultimate kibosh on any racial superiority claims by simply acknowledging race and then studying the hell out of racial intelligence and physique gaps.

I don’t want to fall prey to confirmation bias but it seems abundantly clear from the evidence so far that there are definitely gaps between races…but not gaps large enough to make any sort of useful difference to anyone.

BeeLine Reader generates substantial passive income by licensing its reading enhancement tech to companies like Blackboard. [1] These licensees require zero support and don't churn, so if I stopped working on it the income would keep coming.

The B2C tools (browser extensions, iOS apps, PDF viewer) do require some maintenance and customer support.

I launched BeeLine on HN [2] and have had the pleasure of working with various folks from the HN/YC community, including Insight Browser and The Program Audio Series. Hit me up if you have a relevant project and are interested in partnering — most of our HN-sourced partnerships are no-cost.
