> I’ve found that Jesus is less about religious tradition and more about understanding who God is and what He has done, what His Will is, and doing it. In the heart of one who truly believes in Christ, this order increases our love and joy in God.

It's very difficult to understand it alone. And that's the reason why Jesus created the Apostolic Church and all of its tradition. To save people from this World and lead them to God. That's the goal number one for the Church and Christians as well.
This is why Oxbridge admissions are a bit of a crap shoot.

What they're really after is whether you can keep thinking and not be intimidated into silence. Just about any subject that a professor understands can be taken to where a high school graduate is stumped. You can always add twists to just about anything interesting. They key is to realise they are testing whether you'll interact well, not whether you can figure out the answers.

I was quite fortunate, they kept asking me things that I knew and they weren't disappointed with where my limits were.

It does come off as a bit confrontational to the modern observer I'd say, and it does give the impression that tutorials are some sort of intellectual sparring match. They're not, clearly you'd be flattened by the professor if they were.
We pretend to seek out reasons, when we're actually just looking for excuses.

"I didn't actually do anything wrong, something outside of me made me do wrong, you can't prove it wasn't chemicals"

"There's no such thing as a shared moral code ,it doesn't exist, unless someone hurts me and then suddenly, they did something horribly wrong"

Our ancestors are fortunately a bit wiser than we are, they know there are things that cannot be excused, swept under the rug of moral relativism. They can only be "forgiven" as C.S Lewis explains in https://www.cslewisinstitute.org/webfm_send/111
It's HDR600 so I suppose 'HDR' in quotes.

It's also matte which I like more than the LG 5k's glossy screen.
Yep, this is over when we say it's over.
> At the end of the day those states have about the same death figures as anywhere else.

That's both a false and an incredibly reductionist statement. I'm actually impressed.
Because those diseases have been circulating amongst the human population for thousands of years (or longer), and there is a level of population immunity that keeps large outbreaks from occurring.

Also, you aren't even aware of most of the viruses you're infected with on a regular basis, because you aren't looking for them, and immunity you've built up over a lifetime reduces the severity of symptoms. For all you know, you've been infected asymptomatically / minimally symptomatically with any number of common respiratory viruses in the past year, and written it off completely.

The big difference for SARS-CoV2 was that the entire global population was immunologically naive in 2020 (maybe; there's evidence for some level of immunity due to common-cold coronaviruses). This is rapidly changing.
I don't really think your ideas are particularly good but that's not really the point. The real question is why we accept the flaws of our current system. It's not very difficult to solve them. E.g. homeless need homes to not be homeless. Yet it is extremely difficult to actually want to solve them.

Californians in particularly prefer having homeless people over giving them homes even despite the fact that the government isn't lacking in resources.
> the UK definition of a covid death is a covid case who died

This is what a bunch of us have been complaining about all along. Not everyone with COVID who dies actually died because of COVID.
They're not dongles, because they're integrated into the body.

I find it's just too much to justify. A bit more than $1k on the Ultrafine 5K was justifiable for me, and I've seriously considered buying another.

If it was $2k or so for the Apple Pro Display XDR, or if they did a middle-man option that provided the 6K resolution but wasn't as bright etc, I'd snap one up in an instant - but I want it mostly for text & software development. I don't need perfect colour accuracy (although, I do like it).
> As always, if a fine is only a fixed amount it becomes just a regular transaction for the rich. Ideally the amount would scale with your size/wealth.

That's a great rationale right up until the point that a court finds the company in contempt of the original judgement[1]. In this case you don't need the penalty to scale - you don't even need the penalty at all - the order most likely says something to the effect of "stop the infringement".

[1] The order most probably read like "Pay the fine and stop the infringement". Simply paying the fine doesn't allow you to ignore the second part of the order, and the penalties for contempt of court are enough to sink the company. Just ask Gawker, who went under not because of what they published, but because they ignored a court order that ordered them to stop publishing it.
I have the lg ultrafine 4K. Picture quality is obviously a lot better than the matte and lower resolution displays available for windows. It adjusts brightness for the room which is also nice. It has quite an annoying bug though in that whenever there is a power outage, it never wakes up. I have to get another monitor, plug only that monitor in, plug the lg back in after restart, unplug other monitor just to get it working again.

Resolution is not quite retina but good enough. Sound quality is not as good as iMacs on built in speakers. It has no web cam but not sure I care.

I used to be content with windows and low resolution monitors. I think the eyes just adjust and make up for anything that is lost. I am not even sure resolution even matters. 4K video would be nice, but very little content is in 4k.

> Florida's death rate has been far higher than the rest of the country due to their decision.

According to CDC data, Florida and New York at this time have the same death rate. About 320 excess deaths per 100K.

Re: NI, I'm baffled how this is still controversial in the US when the UK, Germany, Israel, etc. Many others recognize it as a valid alternative to vaccination.

It absolutely did give them protection against severe illness just like South Africa. It's in the data.
There are a few of methods I use. First, my local library lends eBooks. In the UK, authors get paid for each book that is borrowed.

Secondly, sites like hive.co.uk sell eBooks outside of the Amazon / Google services. You can read them on any device which supports Adobe's DRM - or you can remove the DRM yourself.

Finally, go to the publisher's website. Some of them sell books directly.
Isn’t the point to avoid severe outbreaks in the first place, and thereby not needing extensive periods of restrictions.

I think the perfect time would be when effective oral anti-virals are readily available, they are just around the corner. The average daily cases are increasing and the 4th/5th wave (depending on location) is ramping up now - exactly the wrong time for a country like NZ to change international quarantine.

This is my worst nightmare and I wonder what the order of operations is in terms of downloading and unlocking a vault. This sounds like you need the master password to download and unlock the vault, so that’s a tiny bit of extra protection I guess (not much).

I wonder if password managers should be designed around, and encourage the use of, an undocumented PIN that’s appended to every stored password. You could use the same PIN for everything and if someone got your vault decrypted there would at least be a chance they didn’t get the secondary PIN too.
What happened to the happy middle ground of sending a personal email? Why are the two extremes having someone insist on synchronous voice communication on the one side and a fully automated e-mail on the other?
"Someone just used your master password to try to log in to your account from a device or location we didn't recognize. LastPass blocked this attempt, but you should take a closer look."

Could be... I haven't rotated my password in a while. Could you link me to more info about the LastPass compromise that you mentioned?

p.s. My master password is definitely not dictionary material, and it's not used anywhere else, so I am 100% sure it's not a bruteforce / phishing attempt.
With some effort, yes. I successfully ran Battlefield 3 on a GPU-enabled AWS instance with Steam streaming, so I'd assume it would run just as well on the bare-metal.
I am over 40 and ever since I was 10 or so it has been my opinion that spiritual belief, though giving rise to some positive social activities, is a childish delusion of adults and mental abuse of their children.

Fair enough, I wrote the above knowing absolutely nothing about the Apple's specs. I'm just speaking in generalities.
Does it matter? I mean when we announce the color we will announce it in all of them since it's the same color.
If you can rely on the other player being logical (as suggested), just wait for them to suggest a colour then use it. If they do not suggest a colour (perhaps they are waiting for you to suggest?) then suggest a colour yourself, then the other player being as logical as you will use it.

Job done.

These scenarios in TFA seem to imply that both players want to be the "leader" as it were (all this talk of breaking symmetry etc) and that this is so somehow some sort of interminable problem. The problem does not seem to state any "cost" of waiting a turn, so there is no rush it seems, and there seems to be no cost of being the "leader" or "follower".

This is a basic master-election issue more than anything. Solved problem ... see paxos et al (although I concede that this is more of a "how you think" question, and less about the "correct answer")
I've always avoided independent recruiters because they charge a big commission (30% of my salary?) to the employer, and I worry that with smaller startups this will put meaningful downward pressure on the salary I can negotiate. Also, I did once go through a 3P recruiter by mistake and they insisted on intermediaries every part of the process in a way that felt inefficient (e.g. send recruiter a list of times, they send them to company, company picks one and tells recruiter, who tells me).

Also

> The really good recruiters will keep the relationship open. They call me now and again to check my status (I'm also a hiring manager prospect), they call to ask me technical questions, and they get me to refer people I know as well.

That sounds like it's not for everyone. I'd probably find those check-ins mildly disruptive and the other parts feel like I'm doing someone's job for them.

Curious to know if other folks have encountered these issues or have thoughts on them.
Yes but please don't hold that against Zen Buddhism.
A better way to put it is "valgrind integration". It is enabled by default (when compiling for a target that has Valgrind support). Mainly it integrates with the `undefined` language feature which helps catch branching on undefined values. The nice thing you get beyond what C gives you, is that in Zig you can set things to undefined when you are done with them. Meanwhile in C, Valgrind is only aware of undefined for uninitialized variables.

But as others have pointed out, although Valgrind is a nice debugging tool, you would not run your application in it under normal circumstances. It's also not available on some important targets, such as macOS and Windows.
I use dual LG 24UD58-B’s (one landscape, one portrait) for coding and I’ve been satisfied.

I don’t run them at native res, but this never bothered me. I also don’t game or edit photos or video either.
> Sure, you can place it wherever you wish, but it still requires additional space.

I thought we were discussing fragmentation, i.e. where we put marking bits.
Approx 19.3% of Americans live in rural areas, and a higher proportion of rural residents are in poverty. Therefore, measures to discourage car use are likely to disproportionally adversely impact some of the poorest in society. Unless those measures somehow completely avoid affecting rural populations.

I’d support city only measures like a city income tax to fund public transportation and conversion of stroads to pedestrian friendly streets. But what is likely to happen are general taxations on car users such as fuel duty and onerous regulations which push up the cost of car ownership.

> Where your position falls apart is that they sent emails to private individuals.

That in no way counteracts any part of my argument. Actually, if anything, it reinforces it - the fact that the emails sent to private individuals were unintentional proves that there was no human research being done. It's quite clearly impossible to accidentally do research on humans.

It is possible to unintentionally harm people as a result of doing non-human research - but then again, you can unintentionally harm others through traffic accidents, business deals, entering the wrong information into a database, engaging in gossip, accidentally bungling a normal research experiment (high-energy physics?) and doing just about anything in life. It should be really obvious that the possibility (or reality) of human harm doesn't imply human research.

> Although I'm employed, I received the email to my personal address regarding a not-for-profit, zero-revenue hobby website I maintain. Another story here on HN was from them sending the letter to a blogger.

...and, really, there should have been no harm done. If you run a website, then you have a certain set of rights and responsibilities, and one of those responsibilities is to know exactly what data your site collects, and how to respond to a GDPR or CCPA request. That applies to you, to that other blogger, Xe, and every single person (and organization) that received these emails. And, if you weren't prepared for that, that's your fault, and consider this bungled research project a wake-up call.
> US still doesn't have a national-wide internal ID, and for the thing what essentially replaced it in function - driver's ID, every state has it's own format and idea what should be in it.

One of the nation-wide IDs actively in use is the tuple (state, driver_license_number).
Slight differences in white balance, even after calibration, preclude the use of multiple monitors for myself as well. Even if they are the same monitor, same model our nervous system is very good at detecting these differences.

I have no settled on a new monitor either, I'm using a 24" that is slightly too small for split screen use, but doable. 27" would be nice but 32" would likely be the best here.

There are a few good ones in the works. LG announced a new "IPS black" technology, which offers better contrast than your MacBook screen (claimed 2000:1, we'll see). As well, LG is manufacturing a few monitors for Apple this year. Some of these will be miniLED like the XDR display, but cheaper as manufacturing costs have likely reduced significantly.

The only monitor I'd even consider right now is the LGGN950 or one of the 5k2k displays, though the latter are notoriously finicky I've heard and currently not usable on Mac without a dedicated GPU.
Microsoft took a somewhat similar approach with their “ Super Duper Secure Mode” in Edge. It disables the JIT in the V8 JavaScript engine to reduce the attack area of the browser:

He did not reply to the wrong comment. He's skirting the site's mechanisms.
I've heard others say that unless it has FALD, anything claiming HDR is basically lying. And I can't speak to how accurate that is, but this monitor has HDR600 which requires 10bit color depth and local dimming.

I think it looks better with it enabled than without, seems like darker darks / richer color, but I'm not an HDR or monitor enthusiast, so check better sources before making a purchase.
Give me job security and 50% more than what I am making, which is not much with my current salary in very low 6-digits, I'll start working for the devil tomorrow.

Life is not so rosy to follow your ideals and inclusivity and all that crap when you're past 50 and still in a non-managerial role in tech industry.

This discussion has happened literally every surge.

Hospitalizations lag case counts by about 1 to 2 weeks. Deaths further lag hospitalization counts by another 1 to 2 weeks.

Omicron arrived in NYC weeks before it arrived in Florida. You can see it evident in the case counts. You have to wait the appropriate amount of time (ex: ~1 to 2 weeks to compare hospitalizations, and ~2 to 4 weeks to compare deaths).

------------

Omicron hasn't hit Texas yet. So in a week or two (or whenever Omicron arrives there), Texans will be making the same time-delayed fallacy that everyone else has made.

After 3 or 4 "humps", you'd think that people would be understanding of this time-delay effect by now.
I wish this was a troll but I'm pretty sure this is real unfortunately.

Password is only used for lastpass. It was caught since I use 2FA. I did previously have "The Great Suspender" chrome extension, which changed hands and had an update including malware, I wonder if this was the culprit.

I last changed my master password on November 24, 2017, the previous exploit was apparently resolved in July 2016.
One of them goes to a thunderbolt3 dock. When they display refuses to power up, it doesn’t matter if it’s plugged in direct or into the dock.

Also, I can see the display in the system report in the thunderbolt section, and devices daisy chained off of them work. It’s just the panel that’s being a bitch.
In fact the site you're using right here doesn't need JS to post nor read comments.
It's using a Thunderbolt 3 connector I wouldn't call that proprietary. There are quite a few TB3 monitors out there.
When I was a recruiter, mostly I wanted to make sure you could speak English well enough to hold a conversation, make sure you were interested enough to go through the process, and make sure you weren’t an asshole. Also I could help sell you to the hiring manager by getting details I know the manager is looking for, and getting that information over email can take too much back & forth. But really just making sure you could hold a conversation was big, as so many applicants cannot.
When I read comments like OP's, I always try to square where their perspective is coming from.

If P_death is 0.1% and Dunbar's number is 150, the chance someone you care about will die of Covid-19 is a mere 14%. You have to get to caring about 700 people before you're more likely to know someone who dies of Covid-19 than not.

This whole thing essentially only really matters in aggregate. Sure comorbidies, protecting yourself from long Covid, etc. But in general there is so much leeway to come up with your own hypotheses and have them "confirmed". I've got a special rock that keeps tigers away etc.

One thing I know for sure is that I wouldn't go telling a nurse that the past two years have been for their imagination. Especially not with hospital occupancy being what it is.

(PS I'm sorry for your family's loss. Negotiating funeral customs during Covid is truly terrible.)
Hence why I'd suggest using partial GCs like the Train, as that would have better locality of reference almost all the time. A generational GC could have similar effects, but nurseries seem to be much larger than caches nowadays, with few exceptions.
Very interesting theory!

What's a bit surprising is how "low effort" the rest of the attack was: presumably if they found this flaw to bypass passwords, they then attempted to login (which caused an email to be sent out), but LastPass stopped them because they (i.e. the folks on the Brazil IP range) were logging in from a new IP.

So this would be a case of one protective layer (the new IP detection) compensating for a vulnerability in the other one (the password protection).

That would be "re-assuring" in a certain way (as the passwords themselves did not leak -- presumably!).

Thanks
The difference is that energy efficiency of CPUs has continued to improve exponentially fast, whereas we are already nearing asymptotic efficiency limits in things like fiber optics and know that we can't get exponential improvement.

A 1 kW server running for a day is peanuts in carbon cost compared to sending data to millions of people.
Even with those issues, better than most of the crap out there.
