They're both already shifting from DSLR to Mirrorless (though Nikon hasn't been as quick as Cannon).

Raw mode with manual aperture/iso/shutter speed is certainly an appeal, but even some smartphones have that.

The big appeal of interchangeable lens cameras is the interchangeable lenses. Camera lenses are still vastly superior for many uses. Not all, but for things like sports and nature photography there's just no way to get equivalent image quality out of a smartphone. Likewise for macro photography.
So "get more shots of the vaccine we don't have enough information about"?

Do you really need a burner account for this conversation?
It would make the most sense to define software as a legal agent of those who deploy it.

If an HTTPS server prints OK and returns a document for a straightforward request, then it's manifestly obvious that the owner's agent intended to give you that information. If the owner did not intend that to happen, the issue is between them and their agent. (Think: a customer service rep who didn't follow policy)

Supplying a SQL injection to an HTTPS server would be akin to fraud or false pretenses - like if you walked up to a customer service rep, showed them a fake ID, and asked for information about your account.

(Furthermore, copyright trolls wouldn't be able to wriggle out of their fraudulent DMCA requests by blaming it on software that they themselves deployed)
Please read what I said, you completely failed to understand. There is no science on the effectiveness of vaccine or booster shot mandates. Or on the long term effects of either.

And why is what the military mandates on people meaningful whatsoever? Review some history on what the military has mandated in the past.
According to what we have today there is no need to vaccinate healthy young people.
Aren't the vulnerable already protected with boosters? Where is the logic?

Sure! I wasn't going to say because I didn't want to people to judge them for the network issues, but it is Linode. I've become a huge fan of them and use them for almost everything now. The Newark data center has been struggling a bit with networking issues but they are working hard on the problem.

I really can't say enough good things about the Linode customer service. They respond timely and with honest info, which is invaluable to me as a head of engineering trying to make important platform and infrastructure decisions. After a terrible experience with Digital Ocean, before moving over to Linode (so I still had a pretty small account, less than $10/month) I actually opened some mostly stupid support tickets just to see how they would respond. They were professional, courteous, and helpful. For the record I have no affiliation with Linode beyond being a happy customer.
Are you looking at the numbers as a whole or county by county? If 800/1000 beds are available in the state and 19/20 in your county that’s a problem. That’s ignoring that few systems are designed to operate at capacity for any extended period of time.

Maybe the analysis should be above the level of basic scrutiny.

We have a lot of science. These MRNA vaccines didn't come from nowhere; they have been in development for decades. Thats why the vaccine came so quickly: the foundation was well established.

> Eroding the foundations of democracy and modern thought in the repeated failed attempts to prevent the spread of covid is extremely stupid.

Quarantine and vaccinations as solutions to infectious, deadly diseases is older than the US. They were even used by the founding fathers in the war for independence.
This seems cold, but if it didn't work this way, then why would anyone ever pay the $75 ahead of time? For the fire department to be able to afford to keep existing without that, an after-the-fact fee would probably have to be tens of thousands of dollars, which I assume people would find just as cold.
Never tried three-wheelers, heard they are difficult to control in general. I was on that bridge like yesterday on a rented cargoroo (two wheels, electric, disk brakes) and it was fine.
The hypotheticals make sense, but they're not reality.

As for your last example, it again make sense on its own.

In case of these monitors though, I see it more like every burger costs $10 but there is also $40 one that has a nice logo stamped on the bun. Also you have to pay extra for a plate. I don't think I am buying that one very often.
It's "logically sound" in the sense that it's sound by disjunctive introduction. For most people, that's not an interesting sense of "soundness" (you haven't told me anything interesting by saying "it's either cloudy or not cloudy" when I've asked you for the weather.)

Ask HN: Registration of a domain name and employee IP
Does the purchase of a domain name by an employee for a side project automatically become their employer's intellectual property under assignments agreement?

I'm looking to leave my current employer to bootstrap a start up and feel the urgency to buy the domain name immediately in readiness for the intense development and marketing that would follow. I've signed one of these assignment agreements as part of the employment contract a few years back but now want to press ahead with my own dream of a new start up. Could the purchase of the official domain now signal that I have started the project whilst employed by my current employer?

I was wondering if anyone had a similar situation that could offer some insight, other than the standard advice of speak to a lawyer?
I've increasingly come to the idea that everyone is cosplaying outbreak, and somehow I didn't get the memo that this was fun.
I tend to not give the various ideas much waiting right now. The reason I do that is we really don't know a damn thing about consciousness.

For all we know there are new physics out there.

The other idea that I find compelling, and this is my own idea, is get consciousness of some kind the organism or mechanism must be complex enough to differentiate itself very fully from the world around it.

We may end up making a smart brain in the box, but I don't think it will become conscious, unless it is complex enough to be aware of itself completely. And I'm sorry I'm having a hard time articulating this this morning, but just think about your fingertip we've got nerves and everything going all the way down there so that the whole mechanism is a closed loop it's kind of like we're built to know what is us what is not us completely with high fidelity.

I think we're going to find that is a requirement for a self to manifest or in some way defines a being from a mechanism.

Mechanisms will not be conscious, beings will.

In any case we're pretty ignorant right now, meaning that Consciousness is Magic, and we can talk about all sorts of stuff and not be out of bounds.
A vulnerability or a breach?
The laws still work (somewhat) until they're overturned by the courts. Texas's abortion rate dropped by half after S.B. 8 was passed [0]; both S.B. 8 and this law have similar enforcement mechanisms that are designed to make it difficult for the courts to overturn them.

For sure! I'm not saying it has no purpose, but I wish it had a bit more intellectual weight to it.
Does booster have same contents as dose 1 or can it use a fraction of the material? I heard about research of mixing vaccines by different manufacturers but not about stretching a dose to more individuals.

TL:DR: by expecting/allowing less, we offer less, and get less from our students.

The first place to stop would be to stop lowering our expectations of all children. The more the drive standards down to the lowest common denominator in order to pass the greatest number of students each year, the more the lower the bar that the brightest are given an opportunity to achieve. It also lowers the level of language students of all abilities are exposed to, and reduces what they can achieve. I strongly believe in remedial teaching as needed for diverse subjects, but the USA educational systems often target offerings to the lower end of the masses, and do a disservice to the academically gifted and academically challenged in the process. Read the writing of Mark Twain, Frances Hodgson Burnett, and other authors of what were considered children's (elementary school age) books 100-150 years ago. Notice the rich and colorful language in them. Notice that everyone thought that 8-9 year old children should be reading them. Then notice that while we have some exceptions in modern publishing, the general language standard has been simplified greatly on average in children's books. If you aren't exposed to colorful and complex writing, you'll never get better at understanding it.

In the past, many schools also employed more time with the teacher reading novels years above their grade level to children, then verbally discussing it in chunks. This prepares them for later reading them on their own and writing about what they've read, as verbal language comes more easily to most. If you read a chapter a day of the first Harry Potter book to a 5 year-old who really can't read it on their own yet, then talk about what happened in each chapter as you go, and ask them/allow them to describe why characters did certain things, you help increase their own language ability in both comprehension and expression.

Some public schools now frown on this, as they dogmatically stick to the official list of reading levels. Some teachers are simply too overwhelmed by the sheer number of students they must deal with, the other social needs of students they must deal with, and the rest of the modern mess.

> Post-vaccination CAE rate was highest in young boys aged 12-15 following dose two. For boys 12-17 without medical comorbidities, the likelihood of post vaccination dose two CAE is 162.2 and 94.0/million respectively. This incidence exceeds their expected 120-day COVID-19 hospitalization rate

I'm I reading this wrong? The study is concluding that this population is more likely to have a CAE if they get the vaccine than being hospitalized without the vaccine?

That seems like a personal decision to get into the already crowded car instead of waiting for the next one, I don't imagine someone is standing at the station platform and forcing more people into the train car against their will.
Sounds like my student accommodation 25 years ago. We had human shit flowing down the hall on numerous occasions, the rooms were so small you could only lie down in one axis and the refectory food put people in hospital and wasn't even recognisable as described. It actually turned me vegetarian. All for £120 a week.

This is always what happens when you subcontract responsibility out. The middle-man works out how to keep the margin as large as possible and that means the bottom rung gets squashed and everyone up the chain is getting lied to. This has been universally true through my entire life from (real) estate agents, IT contracting agencies, education and service contracts.
Yeah, looking up void and cluster, I think it's clear the phases won't be uncorrelated between frequencies, though may not be easy to describe in the frequency domain.
You risk the institution effectively having to shut down if too many students/faculty are sick at any given time.

Students live in dorms with other students. If one gets sick they have to isolate away from other students. This is effectively impossible in a traditional dorm so they have to be moved to quarantine. There is likely a limit to quarantine space available. If quarantine is filled the University will have to shut down because they cannot follow CDC guidance.

It is not about the immediate health risk to the students as that is relatively low, but the University being able to continue operations.
Not really. The second part alone ("most of ... shouldn't be") might qualify as skepticism, particularly if the reason given is lack of sufficient evidence, but few stop there. Most go on to express one or more other reasons and/or conclusions, such as "intentionally exaggerating" which is its own claim requiring its own proof. Also, if that's the only reason given then it can't be argument in the alternative because there are no alternative routes given to the desired conclusion. Just one route to one conclusion, contrary to the original proposition but itself lacking proof.
COMDATs aren't placed sequentially by the linker. Also, zero initialized data got placed in a separate section.
They'll really allow a professor to impact a student who has covid?

They're being so careful that they force another booster shot, but if you get covid, you might fail a course? What a great way to artificially lower future covid numbers by having people refuse to self report.
"it's better to burn out, than to turn to rust" ;)
The vaccine does not have negative efficacy against Omicron. We don't have very solid data here because Omicron is so new, but one recent paper indicates that in a household setting a booster prevents around 50% of Omicron cases. That's not as good as with Delta, but it's not nothing and it's certainly not negative.
It's just a natural outcome of the fact that most programmers are talkers, not doers. Naturally, they go online to talk about how they wouldn't have written the bug and haven't ever. But the truth is that's because they've never done anything worthwhile.

Religious exemptions bother me quite a bit as a non-religious person. Why can people demand special treatment because of "religion" but my beliefs don't count unless I an hiding behind religion. I don't think the beliefs of religious people are more valid or deserve more respect than mine.

Tell that to all the governments who keep trying to get Apple to break into their own devices... It's not ridiculous at all, the NSA does this all the time (supply chain intervention). And WSON-8 really isn't that hard to swap, a hot air rework station will do it in a couple minutes. I've done much worse than that ;)

Good to hear the RO partition is also authenticated, though. My mention of glitching was mostly around whether there was trust placed in Flash at any point, since then a one time glitching attack could compromise the machine. You could still brick it by screwing up RO, but at least not compromise it. And again, those attacks aren't nearly as hard as you think. People have productionized these things for console modchips; that's at the level where someone with a cheap soldering iron can do it.

This section details the borked RW recovery scenario, and as far as I can tell refers to using a physical UART only, not the USB one: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform/ec/+/c...

As for chip design, I'm sure Google did a better job than most random vendors (they all keep making the same mistakes...), but Apple has been doing chip security for much longer so they also have had quite a lot of time to build up experience in this area. I would trust Apple's chips over Google's (at least design quality wise), and I say this as a xoogler ;)

Actually, I think I can come up with an apt comparison. Google has crazy good production system security, probably better than anyone else; they've just been doing it for long enough, have been targeted by governments (China incident, NSA wiretaps), and have the motivation to just keep pushing things forward. Apple is on a very similar level with system/silicon security, in part for similar reasons. They're both just in their own league in those categories.

A good example of how the usability of your product directly affects security.

AWS has multiple forms of credentials. IAM Users (static keys tied to a specific user identity) are one form. But you can also authenticate via SAML or OIDC. If you use SAML/OIDC, you can enforce temporary IAM credentials, audit who authenticated, expire credentials, enforce password rules & MFA, etc.

Because IAM Users are the easiest thing to set up, that's what everyone does. And that leads to compromises. If, on the other hand, IAM Users were more difficult to set up than SAML/OIDC, then everyone would use SAML/OIDC and temporary credentials. And that would mean giant compromises like these would be much rarer, because it would eliminate the easiest form of compromise: people putting static, non-expiring keys where they shouldn't be.

So when you develop a thing, think about the consequences of it, and design it so that users are more inclined to use it in a way that leads to good outcomes. That might even mean making parts of it intentionally hard to use.
I think it's pretty naive to think that the only people to vote for, campaign for, and work for Trump were "dumb". Plenty of "smart" people made decisions between supporting, campaigning for, working for, or defending his campaign and administration because the things that are bad about him don't really affect (or benefit) their own interests.
There was definitely a period, at least with 5.25" disks, when name brand disks like Verbatim definitely tended to be more reliable than cheap disks bought in bulk. The latter weren't that bad (usually) and it often still made sense to use them so long as you were extra-careful with backups.

In general, failed floppies weren't a weekly occurrence or anything like that. But a floppy that couldn't be read or at least developed bad sectors was not rare either.

You could set up Inoreader with a filter on it for COVID.
Could you elaborate on which treatments you think those are? I'm aware of monoclonal antibodies and other antiviral treatments, which are generally more difficult and expensive to distribute compared to vaccines, and are more susceptive to variant changes.

To reiterate: that doesn't mean that people shouldn't get antibody treatments, only that we should continue to practice "needs based" care: vaccinate everyone, and use the more drastic (expensive, logistically complex) treatments on those who need it the most.
I don't see much extremism. Most of the anti-coved-vax folks are ok with the tried and tested vaccines .For all I know the mRNA technology is new and the covid vax is the first of vaccines based on the said technology to get an approval - an emergency approval. This is a gamble. And I'm sure that nobody should be forced to gamble with their health, thats it. It might be redeemed a bit if the vaccine really stops the spread. but it seems to be not he case.
Like the flu shots, there are people who legitimately (shorthand for “have a medical reason”) can’t get vaccinated.
It's not actually a completely original premise:

> "The Marching Morons" is a science fiction story by American writer Cyril M. Kornbluth, originally published in Galaxy in April 1951.

> The story follows John Barlow, who was put into suspended animation by a freak accident involving a dental drill and anesthesia. Barlow is revived hundreds of years in the future. The world seems mad to Barlow until he discovers the 'Problem of Population': due to a combination of intelligent people not having children and excessive breeding by less intelligent people and coupled with the development of more sophisticated machinery that makes it less important to possess intelligence in one's working life, the world is full of morons

This interpretation is misleading. There is no significant viral load difference between groups, but only looking at the subset of vaccinated people who actually got infected.
Also, the study also suggests lower viral loads for the symptomatic population - regardless of vaccination, which is counterintuitive; and a higher ratio of vaccinated people developing symptoms (see counts in fig 1.).

Also, the individual variability in viral load within each group is enormous, such that finding a "significant difference" would probably require many more participants than what the study recruited.
There's good data about the booster being an effective booster. There's not much data about whether another one will be beneficial (neither in terms of whether it will help immunity or whether there will be a lot of virus in circulation...).
So much this. Don't use any online password managers but with this response lastpass became godaddy for passwords in my book.

disney literally pays for the head of positive reviews, coverage, and social media discourse and has bots generating the long tail. i think it's well understood the middle of the distribution is pay to play (positive coverage to get any access). 90+ percent of their releases is utter trash but most people associated with media/entertainment seem actually scared to criticize it.
> Whose rights are greater?

No one's "rights are greater." This is a false dichotomy. Does the government have a right to force people to take the flu shot? No. If a flu came along that was so deadly that the government wanted to force people to get the flu shot, then the government would need to prove the necessity and the spread-prevention efficacy of that medical procedure.
