The event bus in all these examples looks an awful lot like just a different name for a log, and adding an event bus has some minor downsides in that it requires more complex setup (with additional points of failure and points of difference between local and production deployment) and you would need to use special tooling to get the actual messages recorded somewhere and your hands on the contents of the messages when you need to debug. On the flipside the event bus messages may be useful for more than just human debugging.

It's a shame the author didn't actually look at logging as a code smell. For example, is a high density of logging statements in code an indication of places which are brittle and hard to figure out and therefore candidates for reworking? That would be an interesting topic I think.
This drives me nuts when I'm trying to navigate somewhere, no pun intended. For example, I'll tell it I want to go to a trailhead for a lake but it will switch it to the literal middle of the lake itself.

Your distribution for local people is largely irrelevant to who is visiting the country. Health care is beyond capacity at the moment. I fail to see how you can assess an unvaccinated person with no other attributes as statistically no risk. We're not talking about Djokovic, we're talking about the rules for immigration.

An unvaccinated person who tests negative is more likely to become infected and require hospital care than a vaccinated person. It doesn't matter how remote, we are beyond capacity at the moment, this is where we're at with Omicron.

Most suggest this will be a short wave, in which case we can reassess once it has passed.
My first guess is hospital = noise (sirens from ambulances coming and going), whereas Walmarts probably only results in increased traffic and at worst more lower income people out and about.

People really dislike noise. There’s a small airport near me that acts as a regional shipping hub amongst other things and a certain demographic (retirees, not working, own home) is very keen on halting and further business development despite the economic benefits it creates for the city because they don’t like the noise of the airplanes overhead. Personally the occasional airplane is significantly less of a nuisance to me than people revving their loud ass motorcycles at night.
I wonder if they're getting cash kickbacks from established corporate media outlets for pushing their material to the top of the search results. That would actually be less creepy than if its being done as some kind of information manipulation program.

It's high time Google and other search engines were forced to expose the inner workings of their ranking algorithms to the public, particularly now that they have near-monopoly power in the sector. People should also be able to adjust the dials on the algorithm themselves.
Results from the abstract:

"Twenty-five seroprevalence surveys representing 14 countries were included. Across all countries, the median IFR in community-dwelling elderly and elderly overall was 2.9% (range 0.2%-6.9%) and 4.9% (range 0.2%-16.8%) without accounting for seroreversion (2.4% and 4.0%, respectively, accounting for 5% monthly seroreversion). Multiple sensitivity analyses yielded similar results. IFR was higher with larger proportions of people >85 years. Younger age strata had low IFR values (median 0.0013%, 0.0088%, 0.021%, 0.042%, 0.14%, and 0.65%, at 0-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, and 60-69 years even without accounting for seroreversion)."

It's a social construct like any, a partition or compartmentalization we put up to allow us to behave certain ways. Some cultures have different outlooks, some individuals have different outlooks.

I think the only logic to glean here, is that we're able to get more resources out of a cow, so it was useful for us to compartmentalize and abstract away farming them as different somehow, so we did.
I don't think you're a creationist - this is just a very common distinction in thinking about evolution that results in all sorts of illogical fallacies.

This is my exact point: Your hands have no purpose. They evolved in a way that aided in survival. If someone is born mutated with their fingers fused together and then suddenly the entire earth floods and they find their solid hands help them swim better - were their hands evolved for the purpose of swimming? Were they designed? Is that human then "supposed to" swim?

We're finding microorganisms that can consume plastic. Does that mean they evolved for the purpose of eating plastic, a substance not typically found in nature?

In my worldview, no, they weren't. They can consume plastic, but that has no bearing on their purpose, and they aren't leaving part of their purpose unfulfilled if they don't eat plastic and instead eat other substances they evolved to be able to eat.
Most of today's apps languages, for example. But also Go documents that there's only a internal ABI that's not stable across versions, so it doesn't serve for most ABIy things, like system libraries. Rust seems to be similar. I wonder what the situation is like in GPU language land...

These languages still allow you to consume and provide C compatible ABIs explicitly but this does not interfere with data optimizations for native data.

> Don't blame the victims that the well was poisoned, blame the jerk who poisoned it.

Why are they drinking from someone else's well? Someone with "a sizeable past history of jerkdom"?

If you can check the water - nay, if you can copy the water and check it, and create an identical well from that water so that said jerk may never interfere with it again - then the "victims" have no one to blame but themselves.

If he had poisoned other people's wells you might have a point. He didn't, in the same way that poisoning the water I keep in my fridge is not an attack on anyone else. Why do you trust the water in my fridge without checking it?
>I don’t think google search has gotten worse, I think the SEO abusers have just started winning. So much content on the web is automatically generated and made to look just like real hand crafted content. So much of it has titles and headings which have little relation to the search.

right, I mean we have nearly daily posts here about almost human level quality texts you can generate with various machine learning solutions.

Add to that sites who serve users needs must focus on doing that, the sites that just game Google search rankings can focus on that.
I expect it is because jet turbine blades need to be precisely shaped to maximize proper airflow; spin around so fast that the shear forces destroy most materials; operate in an environment so hot that it melts most materials (which does not help with the shear forces, I expect); and be as lightweight as possible. Some blades have channels on the inside to run cool air through them to cool them down so they don't melt. I wonder if the egress of the air may be used to help keep the flow laminar, I thought I read something about that in experimental airplane wings. So you have fluid dynamics for the shape and a serious limitation in available materials. I know fluid dynamics is a bit of a black art, and I expect that metallurgy is somewhat similar. Especially at 2000 deg C and 3500 - 25,000 RPM!

Even once you have the blade to copy, you don't know why the features are the way they are. What bits are important? Which areas must have high tolerance? After that, there is the question of how to make it. You probably cannot just mass spectrometer it, put those ingredients in a vat, heat it up, and pour it into a mold. Is the order of ingredients important? The exact ratios? How quickly do you cool it? At what temperature? And how do you get those holes in it? How do you do it economically? You can't just 3D print these, and even if you did, it'd be way too slow.

The developer owns a copyright to the specific work - the literal arrangement of characters in a specific order, and non literal aspects like structure or organization. Copyright is created when the work is ‘fixed’ but is not attached to a specific copy of the work. All copies thereof are either made by the owner, produced under license, or a violation of copyright. Everyone can distribute any work they have license to, intact or modified, latest or not, as long as they adhere to the terms of the license. “Ownership”of a repo, latest commits, etc. barely enter into the equation.

Fresh and innovative stories don't sell as well as a known brand. That's why a sequel to an established franchise is always preferable to big studios.
People around here are not NIMBYS... We are the best consumers American consumer culture has produced. We will shop the shit out of Costco, Walmart, and the hundreds of fast food restaurants you find around here... Shake Shack, Chick-fil-A, BJ's Restaurant... Hell yes, give us more! You'll never see a more /r/hailcorporate post than the NextDoor thread of a new chain restaurant arriving in town.

I think the only reason that hospital failed was because they wanted to build multiple stories... People around here have a strong aversion to tall buildings. That was like their biggest complaint. They were worried the hospital would be able to look over their fence and into their pools. Urban sprawl can't happen if we build up. LOL.
"should be compensated for" - what a wonderfully passive-voiced phrase. If you don't want giant corporations using your open-source code, it's as simple as using the GPL. Of course, in that case your code probably won't get so popular in the first place.
Hi. I think you may have got the wrong end of the stick, here.

This conversation is about a company that's released their movie to theatres and is simultaneously streaming it via their own subscription streaming service, and trying to figure out how to account for money earned by the movie when some of that money may or may not be coming in via subscription fees on the streaming service.

In that specific case (the one being discussed in this thread), the 'internal' numbers should be fine to use since they're all happening inside a single company -- both the royalties on theatrical ticket sales and the streaming subscription fees.

There's no "sharing viewership numbers" with external parties implied in my comment above, and Netflix is not involved in this situation in any way.
>Even then, I don't think the analogy holds, because the quality of Amazon's marketplace listings isn't anywhere near as synonymous with Amazon as the quality of Google's search results is with Google.

What? Why not, and anyway Amazon I'm giving money. I'd think that quality there would be more deeply linked than anywhere I'm just giving some time.

Of course that's absurd, that's not really the core of the argument though. I would still consider it breaking my app if I now need to go replace that package somehow, or pull it from some archive, before I can re-deploy my application.
People forget about how hard it is to get through ethics reviews for animal testing. I remember a PI telling me that it was easier to run psych experiments on undergrads compared to rats or mice.
That's exactly it. The unfortunate truth about the operators is they're under intense pressure to perform under harsh time constraints.

They're out there before the snow falls, during the snowfall and until the snow is off the road operating essentially a multi-ton switchblade in darkness where everything is hidden beneath an opaque blanket of frozen water. And your vehicle (before the blade is attached) is as wide as the lane.

The visibility conditions are bad, the road surface is bad (that's why you're out there!) And your boss is remotely monitoring your every movement, questioning every work stoppage as if stopping for a coffee, or to take a dump is going to bankrupt the economy. Even operating 'just' the sidewalk plows seems super stressful.

I have had close friends who were the spotters for 40-year veteran operators, it seems like a huge rush that (despite all these challenges) could be kind of fun.

The license and rights do not have to be centralised. The owner just has to hold on to some documentation showing they have ownership. If the original artist challenges it, you pull out the email/letter/receipt that shows you originally paid for it.

Fraudulently inventing proof is a serious crime. None of this required any blockchains or decentralisation. In fact it was never centralised to begin with.

The 1779 Euler puzzle: "Six army regiments each have six officers of six different ranks. Can the 36 officers be arranged in a 6-by-6 square so that no row or column repeats a rank or regiment?" Euler said it's impossible.

The 1960 proof by mathematicians and computers: "It's impossible."[0]

The 2022 solution(?): "In a paper posted online and submitted to Physical Review Letters, a group of quantum physicists in India and Poland demonstrates that it is possible to arrange 36 officers in a way that fulfills Euler’s criteria — so long as the officers can have a quantum mixture of ranks and regiments."[1]

My question: If we are permitting this (headline style) to be called a "quantum solution" (to a non quantum problem), should we expect and brace for a torrent of "quantum solutions" to previously impossible problems? Are these meaningful? Or just really cool and interesting?

The biggest impact to human procreation is globalization and falling wages amongst the working class. Survey a few millennials and ask if they'll be having kids. They don't have the time or the money.

We've removed BPA, but there are plenty of other hormone analogues we're exposed to. Soy, for instance.

Endocrine alteration is probably nowhere near as bad as the particulate matter we're breathing in, the amount of sugar we're consuming, or the time we're spending on our phones.

All this to say that I don't think "plastics as hormones" is as bad as the other stuff we have to worry about. We should triage it appropriately.
Parts of this have been linked to here over the past week or so, but I don't think the full picture was discussed yet. Even ignoring the conspiracy aspects, it's another set of packages where a change in the upstream has had an effect on a number of other projects.

I'm pretty sure a vented mask is at least as effective as a cloth or surgical mask in that regard, both of which mostly contain the aerosol spray rather than actually filter out small particles. I doubt the stores you go to require true respirators?

Apparently the CDC agrees: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/respirator-use...

> Yes, an N95 filtering facepiece respirator will protect you and provide source control to protect others. A NIOSH-approved N95 filtering facepiece respirator with an exhalation valve offers the same protection to the wearer as one that does not have a valve. As source control, findings from NIOSH research suggest that, even without covering the valve, N95 respirators with exhalation valves provide the same or better source control than surgical masks, procedure masks, cloth masks, or fabric coverings.
The first diagram in the first study you referenced [1] puts the observed rate of myocarditis among patients -without- COVID at 450 per 5 million (9 per 100k). That is much higher than the rate of myocarditis among the entire vaccinated Israeli [2] cohort (125 per 5 million) you mentioned.

The issue is that you're not comparing apples to apples. The Israeli data is looking at the entire population that received the vaccine. The COVID study is only looking at hospitalized patients with/without COVID which is a subset of the entire population restricted entirely to those experiencing the most severe symptoms.

This is not an easy problem to solve. A more apples to apples comparison [3] puts the COVID:vaccine myocarditis ratio at about 6:1, but it also suffers from a bias. In order to measure those rates they relied on the population that tested positive for COVID. This excludes the population of individuals which were infected with COVID but did not received a diagnosis who presumably also had a near 0 rate of myocarditis. This bias [presumably] becomes more pronounced at lower age groups where COVID displays milder symptoms making it less likely to end up diagnosed.

Finally, there is also the consideration that while the vaccines have not yet changed - COVID has. And its likely that the omicron strain will have a different distribution of side effects. It's a difficult problem to solve, and conflicts of interest abound make it all even more challenging.

As usual, the people posting smug dismissals to HN claiming to find it entertaining that someone might disagree with them, and to themselves know "the real story", are not well versed in the subject. While of course in some sense the real reason for any interpersonal conflict can never be disagreement over a question of facts, Galileo was in fact prosecuted, and the overt justification for his prosecution was, as my unfortunate interlocutor puts it, "daring to science." Quoting the introduction to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo_affair:

> The Galileo affair (Italian: il processo a Galileo Galilei) began around 1610 and culminated with the trial and condemnation of Galileo Galilei by the Roman Catholic Inquisition in 1633. Galileo was prosecuted for his support of heliocentrism, the astronomical model in which the Earth and planets revolve around the Sun at the centre of the universe. ...

> Galileo's discoveries were met with opposition within the Catholic Church, and in 1616 the Inquisition declared heliocentrism to be "formally heretical." Galileo went on to propose a theory of tides in 1616, and of comets in 1619; he argued that the tides were evidence for the motion of the Earth.

> In 1632 Galileo published his Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems, which defended heliocentrism, and was immensely popular. Responding to mounting controversy over theology, astronomy and philosophy, the Roman Inquisition tried Galileo in 1633 and found him "vehemently suspect of heresy" sentenced him to house arrest where he remained until his death in 1642. At that point, heliocentric books were banned and Galileo was ordered to abstain from holding, teaching or defending heliocentric ideas after the trial.

The rest of the article provides an even more thoroughgoing rejection of the confused ideas in the comment to which I am regrettably replying; the atom of truth in it is that, 16 years after first being prosecuted, he included the new Pope's own counterarguments in his book along with a rebuttal, which displeased the Pope, who had previously favored Galileo.
I am careful on what side I am favouring. There is Apple, a company known for its golden cage system and then there are the telcos with their strange extra features.

In the end, I want to have a clean network. And that means no private relay for 50% of mobile users and no telcos screwing my DNS, headers, zero rate my traffic whatever.

Seems like I am loose-loose situation to me.
