Note: VAERS accepts reports of adverse events and reactions that occur following vaccination. Healthcare providers, vaccine manufacturers, and the public can submit reports to the system. While very important in monitoring vaccine safety, VAERS reports alone cannot be used to determine if a vaccine caused or contributed to an adverse event or illness. The reports may contain information that is incomplete, inaccurate, coincidental, or unverifiable. In large part, reports to VAERS are voluntary, which means they are subject to biases. This creates specific limitations on how the data can be used scientifically. Data from VAERS reports should always be interpreted with these limitations in mind.
This won't be a problem, because the people complaining about the woke wave now will suddenly become advocates of the Efficient Pundit Market Hypothesis. I mean, you can't blame the media if white people are the only ones worth talking too, right?
On social stuff, California is well left of Europe including Scandinavia. What you say could apply in Arkansas.

For example, Danish or Norwegian immigration rules would be a perfect fit for any R president, perhaps even too strict.
I compared a 2019 Model 3 to a BMW i3, Chevy Bolt, and a Nissan Leaf (as well as a fair number of ICE cars like subarus, bmw 335, VW Golf R). I did notice that the entertainment system/nav/music, etc where worlds apart. The Tesla felt like a current smartphone, pinch/zoom, fast UI, easy to use, and pretty good speech recognition. The others felt like 5-10 year old phones, similar in feeling to even my ancient nokia 770 with Maemo mapper.

Monroe (on youtube) did a breakdown and said that the only other place he say CPU/ASIC/Sensor integration like on the model 3 was in satellites. Apparently there's a large CPU with a ton of pins that handles quite a bit of cars needs. Even the usually Bosche supplied ABS/Stability management/traction control functionality has been merged into the Tesla chip.
It’s sad to think about, but isn’t the entire economy on the brink of uncertainty? What would give the medical system any exception to that besides the intervention by big brother - the exact intervention which really didn’t work during covid-19.

Our health care system was rotten and had broken incentives well before covid-19, I think the same factors that were keeping that system in the state before are now being stress tested and must either cave or continue to extract value in a self preserving way that would no longer work in this fast pace environment.
Nope, "low interest rate policies + lack of antitrust enforcement" -> "mergers, buyouts, fewer small businesses" -> "fewer economic roles involving decision making" -> "fewer social ladders through hard work" -> "fewer push for education + general unhappiness" -> "bitter people looking for scapegoats"
How do you compare 3 or 4 videos before watching them? Watching video reviews of the reviewers?
Wow, you'd almost think wage slavery might be a problem along with racism.

Oh - you mean the problem is white wage slaves might have less power to exclude and discriminate against non-white wage slaves.
The same holds for things like video. During corona times, I've developed a habit to watch videos about interesting subjects when eating lunch. So many videos about energy production technologies start with long stock footage pieces about climate change. I already know.
Pick the platform you're most comfortable with and start writing.

It's more important that you get something to market as fast as possible, even if it's Apple-only.

You can always go cross-platform for a V2 release if it takes off. You can't, however, get back all the time you'll spend learning a new platform before you even get started.
"The Copenhagen Interpretation of Ethics" is a term that someone coined for that idea.
Wow, that's going back a bit. It's also reminiscent of the issues associated with the 'hardness' of the formatting pattern used on floppy disks around that time.

Now this is stretching my memory so I stand to be corrected if wrong, but recall an E7 pattern was the default used in floppy formatting (on the the TRS80 and such), and this pattern was deemed as 'normal' hardness. (I'm unsure what formatting pattern Apple used.)

Those who wanted to ensure their floppies would pass a more stringent test (i.e. force bad sectors even if they were only marginally poor) would use a different harder pattern which was 6D B6. (If I recall this pattern and another of slightly different hardness (which I've forgotten) was mentioned in the NEWDOS80 manual, NEWDOS80 being a third-party upmarket drop-in replacement for TRSDOS.
The results include all the SEO spam that infected Google, ie. SO clones. How is it better?
Something is very weird with intel. Compared to fang pe around 30 or nvidia, amd around 100, intel has 10. Which combined with long term stable decently high profits is insane for an am tech company. Intel has been offered gigantic subsidies to build american fabs, and more recently just fabs period, but they arent, and at least one of these is approaching the point where they might get sued for not having even tried.

The answers I hear range from a deeply embarrassing and complete loss of competency on all levels, but primarily on the fab side, to an utterly incompetent and out of touch leadership. I favor the latter explanation as intel has been underperforming for nearly two decades now. My best guess is that intel has entered its cash cow phase, and will simply phase out product after product as they become obsolete, ending up as a half dead zombie barely supporting a few rare products in a few decades. Problem is, even if thats what is happening, their stock is surprisingly cheap. So it seems analysts seem to know something important I am completely missing.

Not to say they are the only company that fucked up, amd has been offered the same subsidies for building more fabs, and we arent talking 2020, we are talking for more than a decade, and they also havent for very unclear reasons. Amd also fucked up and completely missed machinelearning due to being unwilling to make a convenient interface or even just halfassed support for cuda. But they did that while nvidia went, ah fuck it, well let amd get every major console, and basically only make gpus with graphics ports as a side project.

Amd and nvidia is havent acted optimally and both have failed to exploit what seems like low hanging fruit, but they are highly valued in a way which matches market demand (which has been increasing quickly since 2014, not just 2020), and their improving technology. Intel however, does not even appear to have tried. Performance improvements have been incremental at best, and some "features" like the built in gpus are so terrible they mostly degrade performance.
josefx> Also making system calls from your own code varies between prohibited and badly supported on most OSes. Some see calls that didn't pass through the system libc as a security issue and will intercept them, while Linux may just silently corrupt your process memory if you try something fancy as the Go team had to find out.

On Linux, making syscalls directly is fine. Good point about other platforms, but many people only care about Linux, for better or worse. And the author's last paragraph (quoted below) suggests using an alternate/static-linking-friendly libc, not making direct syscalls yourself. Presumably on platforms where those alternate libcs aren't available, you continue using the standard libc.

ryanhileman> If you're running into process startup time issues in a real world scenario and ever actually need to do this, it might be worth your time to profile and try one of the alternative libc implementations (like musl libc or diet libc).

IMHO, the Go vDSO problem [1] wasn't due to making direct syscalls but basically calling a userspace library without meeting its assumptions. I'd describe Linux's vDSO as a userspace library for making certain syscalls with less overhead. (If you don't care about the overhead, you can call them as you'd call any other syscall instead.) It assumed the standard ABI, in which there's a guard page as well as typically a generous amount of stack to begin with. Golang called into it from a thread that used Go's non-standard ABI with less stack space available (Go's own functions check the stack size on entry and copy the stack if necessary) and no guard page. On some Linux builds (with -fstack-check, apparently used by Gentoo Hardened ), it actually used enough stack to overflow. Without a guard page, that caused memory corruption.

The global population is predicted to peak in the middle of this century as a natural result of development leading to declining birth rates. We don’t seem to have to do anything or motivate anyone to change because it is already happening and won’t exceed the food capacity of current practices before the peak.
The pad system used by the military predigitisation[0] was a set of keys to input into a keystream generator rather than a strict one time pad style system, except for very specific and limited espionage use cases. And it wouldn't be one time, it'd be on the order of a daily key rotation with key reuse (with maybe a few chosen per day depending on classification level).

[0] I'm assuming we mean computerized here. Old school cipher machines of the type of the ENIGMA and M-209 were arguably digital machines, just base ~26.
Since it gets lighter as you drink it, I don't think so. Even if you could only walk 1 meter while carrying N liters, you could drink it until you have M, and then walk as far as you could with M. But now you're 1 meter further.
What else about myself do i have to actively advertise so that people are not afraid of talking to me.
I am someone who usually gets their beef from costco, small middle eastern markets and sometimes when its on sale at the neighborhood grocery store (Publix). Would you mind sharing in what ways what I'm consuming is trash compared to what comes from small farms?
This is true, but the main reason was that people have been predicting this was that young people don’t want to be on a social network with their parents. This social dynamic prediction has played out, and Facebook did the 100% predictable thing that all rich entrenched players do — they bought the smaller competitors, most famously Instagram.

I fully expect them to continue to be able to monetize their user base, and purchase smaller competitors for a while.

The most recent warning flag for me is their rebranding. Announcing a major pivot to center on Occulus (I’m sorry “the metaverse”.), when VR has been nothing more than niche gaming is very weird and troublesome.

On the bright side, Facebook is a giant ossified megacorp. All that’s going to happen is some division is going to get new signage, and every PM is going to update their slide decks to say “metaverse”, and everyone is going to do what they were already doing.
Just a theory, but it looks like it could be caused by differences in the tone mapping algorithm used to convert the HDR masters down into an SDR palette.

For many this is not wishing for cable again, rather going _back_ to pirating, which was itself better than cable.

Certainly myriad streaming services are better than cable- but are they better than pirating? Harder to be confident of that now than a few years ago
They called themselves 'left-most in the room', not 'leftist'.

+2, FAANG was coined by Jim Cramer to be a grouping of fast growing tech stocks almost 10 years ago, not a grouping of the largest and most important tech companies. Apple and Microsoft are both about 10x the market cap of Netflix.
I think some of the time for this, is they have X of common standard sized box, and Y of less common smaller/differently shaped box, and eventually they run out of Y sized box, so they go down the list of close matches until they find a box in stock at that particular packing station. I've ordered the same thing (baby formula premix ready to drink, fairly large, fairly heavy) in sets of two for several months and it's been shipped at least four different ways that I can remember; I doubt the bin packing algorithm is changing that drastically from week to week.
mmmmmm... what kind of website would you put this moving background to?

> The fact that Alchemy and Infura alone have hundreds of thousands of customers up to and including arguably THE most prominent names in the blockchain space demonstrates just how far from reality and common use that statement is.

I don't think it shows that! Running your own services, including say email/source control/infrastructure etc. used to be much more common; people started to pay the cloud not because it's super hard to run yourself, but merely because it's even easier to let someone handle it and focus on your own product.

I've also run my own nodes, but I still prefer to pay Alchemy.

However, I don't disagree with the thrust of your points.
Right, sovereign territory. Could you imagine the Homestead Act happening today?
I am floored by how crazy that time period was.
It's not an exaggeration - back when Netflix sent out DVD's by mail it WAS like having a Blockbuster in your living room (since Blockbuster didn't do streaming)

A year for a bike is a dogshit lifespan. You can get decades out of decent bikes. The comparisons is reasonable, given you twisted the conversation to pivot around lawnmowers.

I see the rest of your comment is nothing but accusing me of giving bad advice, followed by examples of exactly the same kind of advice I gave or would give, mixed with a dose of bragging about being in touch with pro... welders, cooks, gardeners and other normal jobs that everyone has contacts in. Except basket weavers. I'll give you that one.

Way to totally miss the mark.

If you drop the basket weaving and gardening, and add mountain biking, machining, and lockpicking - we're about the same on being over-hobbied individuals.
I dont give a shit. It is useless information.
They are afraid of online mobs and local activists looking for a target. That's what everyone is afraid of when it comes to this foolish moment in history. If it was simply a matter of being more inclusive there'd be nothing to worry about. Instead, everyone's trying to cover their ass and not stick out so they don't become the next takedown. The funny thing is if you just ignore social media, none of this has any direct consequence. The only real world consequences are from someone higher up the chain getting spooked and trying to appease the mob by throwing you under the bus. It's like a prisoner's dilemma writ large. The consequences of this will be interesting, it already looks like a lot of people are just deciding to self-sort into groups that won't defect. Others, like the author of the article, are going independent so they don't have to worry about their employer or coworkers defecting.
Ask HN: Any way to use social media without sharing account with phone contacts?
Sign-up for a new account on Twitter, Telegram, Discord, Facebook, etc. and your phone contacts are automatically alerted to its existence. It seems everywhere there's an awareness/emphasis on the privacy of your online presence from the prying eyes of advertisers/authorities/prospective employers, but little attention paid to the privacy of pseudonymous accounts from one's real-world social circles. For reasons that should be obvious, not least of which is mitigating career risk, a large number of people share a preference for bifurcating their online persona(s) from their actual lives, yet few options exist for doing so, even for services that position themselves as privacy-forward (e.g., Telegram, Discord). Throwaway phone numbers are either caught and banned by spam filters, or present untenable security-risks to the account.

It doesn't seem like there's much appetite for this to change among social-network founders either: https://twitter.com/nikitabier/status/1403498766737444865

"@nikitabier
If you’re building a social app and less than 70% of your users are granting access to contacts, your app is dead on arrival until that’s fixed. Network effects will never form if you expect users—who have a 5 second attention span—to find their friends by typing in usernames."

What options exist for being on populated/powerful networks truly pseudonymously?
Netflix is facing the rise of competing streaming platforms. They're forced into creating their own content because other producers would rather release content on their own platforms and keep all the streaming revenue, rather than license it to Netflix. Streaming video on demand isn't a technical moat that is stopping anyone.
Kind of silly to me the choice is FB when they are at least actively working to expand into new areas while Google is sort of just…existing
Show HN: Clone your voice and speak a foreign language
Deploy freezes are not necessarily about preventing incidents, but rather controlling the risk (which is not just "what broke" but "how long was it broken"). A normally small incident that happens while everyone is out enjoying their holidays might end up being worse than a large incident that happens at 10am on a Tuesday while everyone is at their desks and can respond immediately.

There's also varying costs (not all monetary) to responding to an incident. I'm going to be very upset at my employer if I get called in on Christmas because there was a deploy going on that caused issues. First week of January, that's just expected.
None of that matters to the customer if the new interface is completely different and much less functional. You should make sure there is an easy transition or you're going to lose a lot of business with your "improved interface".
I'm not trying to incite a flame war, but is crypto really that bad for the planet? Ethereum is moving to Proof of Stake & it's not all ponzi schemes I don't think.

I'm genuinely trying to understand if he's coming from a place of knowledge or if it's more part of the trend to have highly polarized opinions about everything.
There is data from VAERS and Vsafe that supports his claims though. So hardly “mathematically infeasible”.

There is literally no other data available to you or I. What data are you using to support your claim?
Bummer, I suspect that biased the poll quite a bit. Facebook had an early lead when I first commented. It's on everyone's mind from recent news, so it was going to lean Facebook regardless I'm guessing.

Edit only for poor sentences, no content change.
I think we can have both things. There's no particular reason why the various revisions of a digital product can't be kept available.

For example: I keep both the Star Wars Despecialized Edition and the blu-ray release on my jellyfin server and then you can just pick your preference with a drop-down menu. I'd love to see the same setup on official services.
Well sometimes it can be tough to know. Is that a trans man showing a bit an effeminate side sometimes or a woman? Is that person trying to look androgynous or masculine or is it just what they like to wear?
But there might have been a time where it was reasonable to expect every movie to be on DVD and mailed to you.
The antipathy between “try something new” and “stick with what works” is so frustrating because they so clearly go hand in hand. “If the Left wing or the Right wing ever got control of this country, it would fly around in circles.”
Getting prosecuted for downloading material or using it is rather rare. Unless you are a business. But sharing it is really messy which is why I don't really do torrents anymore. Not that I download much anything.
I think part of the challenge is that the "hacker" ethic has always been very libertarian. Open dialog about issues within corporations and industry has always been a thing here, until relatively recently.

I actually don't think it is that out of place on HN, many the top posts on Hacker News are related to politics (Joe Biden vowing different direction, Brexit, even youtube-dl facing a DMCA are all politics)

MANGA
>> _Russian intelligence_ has concluded that Klyushin, 41, _has_ access to documents relating to a Russian campaign to hack Democratic Party servers during the 2016 U.S. election. These documents, _they say_, establish the hacking was led by a team in Russia’s GRU military intelligence that U.S. cybersecurity companies have dubbed “Fancy Bear” or APT28. Such a cache _would_ provide the U.S. for the _first time_ with detailed documentary evidence of the _alleged_ Russian efforts to influence the election, according to _these people_. (emphasis mine)

So I gather they mean other countries' russian divisions of their intelligence groups believe this about the guy, the existence of such documents, his continued access to them, and the involvement of russian military intelligence.

Call me when they actually have verified material in hand, it otherwise continues to be speculation. Put another way, "We think he may have or have had access to documents which we think may provide proof of [this theory]. BTW we're also indicting him on massive multi-million dollar insider trading charges which he can plea down if he tells us [things]."

That's a long way from "we have proof of this theory", which I think is how the theory is often presented - as fact. Speculation about the existence of evidence is not evidence. I'm still not convinced the "inside leak" theory wasn't just as likely.
I thought that Netflix would suffer from their apparent focus on "quantity of shows" over "quality of shows", but it seems to have not hurt them much so far. There are still some good Netflix exclusive shows, but there's some really terrible ones to wade through.

In the first movie, they tried to achieve it practically, by giving all of the clothing and props a green tinge. Certainly not as effective as doing it in post-processing, though.
Well, streaming services are being balkanized at such a rate that soon most of the content on each service is by the company the runs the service. That is, if it isn't already.
