A double vax from back in April or so would have substantially diminished protection by now.
> Getting COVID is to be avoided at all costs

What does that mean and how is it not self-defeating? As in presumably one avoids covid due to its adverse impact on quality of life. But if you're willing to fully sacrifice your quality of life, then my assumption must be flawed.

What's the value you're maximizing here?
No.

We largely imply that Denmark's hospitals are more efficient than US hospitals. In terms of cost, in terms of how much they can handle, in terms of number of COVID19 cases, etc. etc.

Even if we cut down to highly-developed parts of the USA, such as New York vs Denmark specifically (rather than including all of the lesser-developed rural areas which puts the US at a disadvantage), we're clearly not as good at health care as Denmark.
Tortuous logic, to be sure.

In the event of using 2 1GB drives with one stored in the sock drawer, how do we prevent the quite literal "evil maid" attacks altering the CSVCHAIN?

Tamil Nadu, Kerala are significantly ahead in many key social and public health metrics. Were they not been compensated for by BIMARU (roughly, Bihar, MP, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh) states India would be competitive with first world standards. Unfortunately, the BIMARU states are the most populous and consequently controls the political fate of the rest of the country.

Either that, or if it actually is as complicated as it seems... Then it's usually too complicated to work.[1]

(Which is not to say that uncomplicated stuff can't also, sometimes, be bullshit. Like, IMO, crypto-"currencies".)

I'm imagining a world where the converters are commodity but it seems they're not right now. I found this reddit thread of someone trying to do exactly this. Run 48VDC from solar panels to a usb-c PD device so it can power negotiation at each device. Seems like this is still really impractical.

Thanks for going into detail on that. This makes me wonder if information organization and traversal is truly the killer app of AR + AI. Arrange your data like physical objects. See the connections like literal threads in 3D space. Have a librarian who can actually understand your natural language queries help you find things.
Most corporate networks will use some sort of VPN with an exit different from their physical location.
Because those social distancing and other mandates don’t acknowledge that Covid is here forever. We cannot continue to live under these kinds of mitigations for a virus that will be here forever.

What he did was actively malicious. There was ill-will behind the actions. He did it for the purpose of interrupting a lot of stuff that was working, simply to make some sort of statement. It was an attack, by ALMOST any definition. The fact that it was a very benign attack with very few real consequences, doesn't make it less of what it was—an attack.
Unless I misunderstood, someone I know from one of these 2 states recently told me their grandparent wanted to be disposed of like that. They said their generation or their parents don't believe in such practices.

According to the below article, some communities do practice dumping body in Ganges.

"He further informed that the practise of dead body being disposed in the rivers is prevalent in two particular stretches in central/eastern U.P. and the epicentre of which is in Kanpur Unnao region in central U.P and Banaras-Ghazipur area in eastern U.P"

https://indianexpress.com/article/india/practice-of-bodies-b...

There was also another incident in 2015 from the same Unnao region where they found more than 100 bodies in Ganges.

Sublime is a native C++ app. It uses a minimal custom framework built on top of I think skia which actually mediates the drawing on hardware devices (or the CPU). As described by the articles the power usage comes from causing the hardware to repeatedly exit a low wattage deep idle state to update the UI not to do with the amount of work required to render the update.

This is actually more noticeable for efficient apps than inefficient/bloated apps as the latter don't get as many chances to enter deep idle states in the first place.
No, the freedumb that the commenter you're replying to only exists in their head. Freedom is whatever they want it to be and nothing at the same time. Compare the US's COVID response to China and then try to talk about freedoms.

For some reason anything about Covid attracts all the HN cranks. Or just reminds me that HN is full of cranks. The kind of crowd that would get upset at calling Jan 6 an insurrection.
Nice. I have another 20+ years because the money isn't nice for me. I'm hating every minute of it.
Blinking can be disabled in RStudio, too, though it's not the default. I know this because RStudio doesn't respect my XFCE settings, where blinking can also be disabled, or the blinking-rate set (almost) OS-wide.
I didn't remember that particular legal complication, so thanks for prompting me to look it up. It seems that his argument was that Bukkit couldn't be distributed because it contained Mojang's proprietary code, but the fact that it also contained some of his code meant that he was a copyright holder for the purposes of the DMCA.[0]

This seems like an edge case that wasn't anticipated by the DMCA, but I can see the argument that mixing GPL code with proprietary code is creating and distributing a derivative work, in violation of the GPL. Without proprietary code being present, though, I don't think a developer can DMCA takedown their own GPL software.

> continued innovation motivating upgrades, however, is

Apple seems overly aggressive about breaking compatibility on iOS; as a result tons of apps break every year. This imposes an ongoing burden of maintenance costs onto developers, and many games and apps are simply abandoned. It seems to me that saving Apple time and money at the expense of developers and users may be the wrong trade-off in the long run.

And that's not even counting the 32-bit apocalypse which broke most games on iOS and macOS. "This app needs to be updated" but of course it never will be... Many of them have been pulled from the app store as well.

Windows does fairly well in terms of ongoing compatibility on the desktop, and (non-phone) gaming handhelds rarely break compatibility with old software (consider the 3DS which went through 5 or more hardware revisions and many firmware updates with negligible game/app breakage.) The few things that tend to break over time are online multiplayer games when they pull the plug on the servers, or streaming apps like Youtube or Netflix.
> only the 5% increase for those aged 25–34 (from 17.5 to 18.3) was significant.

Hope that helps.

It's super weird that people try to focus on this when the larger failure of policy is that car crash deaths were up more than 18%, resulting in far more absolute deaths. You are talking about a change of 320 deaths while the car crash increment was 3140 additional deaths.
I wonder, in the best case, how long a pig heart is expected to last, given pigs have shorter lifespans than humans. Wish the patient good luck.
I'd expect the Speed vs. MPG graphs for many conventional (gasoline or diesel engine) cars to be similar. Air resistance (of a given vehicle) is roughly proportional to the square of the velocity. And air resistance (or drag, to be more technical) doesn't care whether the car's wheels are being powered by batteries, burning fuel, or a wound-up giant spring.

How many gamers do you know play a game that maxes out the usage of a single GPU for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days of the year? Let alone dozens of them? There's absolutely no comparison in terms of energy use. Someone could probably game for a significant portion of a year on the energy use that a crypto person uses in an hour. It's entirely ridiculous to even make the comparison.

It is super selfish to except society to continue to cater to the fears of fully vaccinated individuals. If people are scared, they can double mask up, wear protection and go outside or not. It’s not cool to expect society to continue playing this game. Vaccinations were the end of the road.

Eh, I'm not sure I agree.

What has gotten me the most value is having either the branch or the commit message tie back to a ticket somewhere. -That- has the original bug, the comment thread that led to the decision around why this particular fix, any additional comments around tradeoffs we were aware of, and what other options we dispensed with, etc.

A well written commit message might explain what the issue was, but it won't have anywhere near the context the ticket and resulting comment thread should have.

> We also hope that this deal will encourage more founders of any age and from every demographic group and geographic location to take the leap into the startup world.

Again, haven't gone through YC, but this was a topic I raised with (IIRC) Kyle and Jared during a Startup School Q&A, from my perspective as someone who is a little more senior in my career, has a family, but not really the safety net of a prior exit or generational wealth to fall back on.

I will tell you that this news had me thinking about my ideas again. This would give me the runway to ship an MVP prior to having to raise again, which is significant because it means I could validate that MVP or decide to do something else. Fundraising is distracting and takes time away from building, so instead being able to align my personal expense runway with startup expense runway would be pretty significant.

As of this moment, I'm thinking about whether my ideas are shitty or not between meetings :D
You haven't been on the project very long if you've never run git blame and found your own name there.
The SDNY and Second Circuit rejected the defendants' first amendment arguments in the Corley case. That was one of the most upsetting events of that decade for me, but I would insist that the first amendment argument has been tried, and at least in that context and those courts, it lost.

You might ask how we reconcile this with Bernstein, where the first amendment arguments were doing so well. One answer is that because of the DOJ tactic you mention, Bernstein isn't binding precedent.

I think other answers are about "atmospherics": grad students asserting first amendment rights in software are more sympathetic than hacker journalists, even if both are ultimately pretty antiestablishment. Also, as someone else brought up elsewhere in this thread, the courts are probably more used to seeing government suppression of speech as a first amendment problem than suppression of speech through civil litigation by private parties. For instance, the courts surely hate the idea of "banning books", yet they're happy to issue an injunction against a book if they conclude it's defamatory after a libel trial.

So, we might have been better off if a first amendment challenge to §1201 had been raised for the first time in a criminal prosecution of an academic or mainstream journalist. Which indeed would probably never have happened because the DOJ would have been reluctant to go ahead with it. Everyone in the legal system is interested in picking cases of first impression tactically.

There's still ongoing work to challenge §1201 under the first amendment, but it's not as obvious as you suggest that it will work out.
Both.

I know enough people in creative industries to know that digital distribution just isn't viable without DRM -- and that creatives want an environment with strongly enforced copyright. As a society we value the livelihood of artists over the convenience of their audience, and that's why we pass laws like the DMCA. The Napster era has totally destroyed interesting music scenes because the musicians couldn't put food on the table making music. DRM enforces copyright in an environment where infringement would otherwise be rampant because of how easy it is -- computers being, like VCRs, general purpose copyright infringement machines. Geez, even the concept of hypertext, as elucidated by Ted Nelson, had DRM built in because other people's IP rights become a fact of life you have to reckon with the minute you deal with readable material!

Of course, DRM schemes fail, and that's where the law comes in. Section 1201 delegitimizes markets for DRM exploits that would otherwise return us to a situation where infringement is rampant, easy, and undetectable. It drives circumvention activity underground, adding friction to the process and making it more difficult than simply buying the material.

There's a real simple principle that geeks don't seem to get: If you want access to digital content without being sued or jailed, just buy it legitimately and don't fucking break the DRM. Abide by the terms the author or publisher has set, or don't buy the content at all. The droit d'auteur, as a moral principle, means that said author or publisher has a moral right to determine how their work is to be exhibited or viewed.
This is the most truth I've seen packed into a few sentences in the past two years regarding what's happened.
It's oncall, like any engineering on-call rotation, so there's an SLA for responding to support requests; currently our oncall is 6am-6pm Pacific time (weekdays). So, it's as much as work day as any on-call rotation is.
Texas leadership is focused on performing for their constituents. That relegates the contemplation to progressive city/county leadership who are willing to push back on statewide policy when the numbers get bad.

A lot of this gets left to the choice of business owners and school administrators who have to balance their choices with fiscal concerns and public perception. There is no political leadership position for them to fall back on. Basically everyone's hands are tied, and some group is going to be upset whether buttons get pressed or not.

Uh, it factually is a coronavirus, of which several are already endemic "colds," and within another year or two (or so) we are looking at this also becoming "just another cold." This is the meaning of currently talking about the virus becoming endemic. It's here to stay like our other colds that should be added, were also deadly when they first started.
I dont think there's anything at all naive by realizing that the capitalists perspective on you is just like how they view a part of a machine they own, and they will treat you according to how you would treat a piece of machine based on how expensive / difficult to replace you/it are.

Sense you seemed to miss the point. Capitalists dont care about you. The dirty secret though is that communists/socialists view you as a cog in a machine too. Every large system will.

You stop people from getting elective surgeries and seriously disrupt society by being out and about eating indoors or not taking proper precautions. This isn't hard to understand. Hospitals are buckling under the weight of cases. Even if you personally recover from it, some do not or the impact of your decisions is far beyond what you personally feel.

It's an absurd point and highlights the ignorance around the entire problem. Your personal choices have consequences far outside of whether you personally suffer or end up hospitalized.

Just found out that there was a similar incident back in 2015 where they found more than 100 dead bodies in Ganges in the same region. It was also reported by BBC. Now I am wondering if BBC conveniently forgot that and went far back to 1918, just so that they can compare India's current situation to Spanish flu?

If you consume open source code without reviewing it, it’s no different than executing arbitrary user code. Your environment’s security is based on hope and trust.

Maintainers shouldn’t be malicious, absolutely, but users should do a bit more than pulling code and running it. Otherwise, it’s curl | bash dressed up with a ci pipeline. How many times does dependabot bump your dependency revisions and no one looks except to ensure tests pass?

Thanks you for the kind words and feedback! You basically went through most of the UI flow that we designed for. You're spot-on about testing new classifiers - answering the question "Can ML even help with my problem?" is much easier with Nyckel and prototyping and rapid iteration starts with that.

Our goal is to be cost-competitive, even for bigger projects. Given how early we are, our pricing structure is still being worked on, especially for high-volume.

Integrating with labeling solutions is in our roadmap. In the meantime, our API should enable any data/labeling integrations.

Named entity recognition is also in the roadmap. Would love to hear more about your use-case and we can give you access to the beta when ready.
I dunno; I've known horrible senior devs who wrote solutions that were clearly resume driven development who ended up as tech leads elsewhere when there was a regime change and actual scrutiny began to be applied to them.

I do agree that anyone should be able to publish, but then should also consider bigger picture when "stars", "likes", "downloads" are rolling in.

As noted there are no materials that show what is it like when you have to work on something for years because you built expectations in others.
