It still targets the ACE2 receptors found throughout different human tissue, and reportedly can bind even more effectively to it. The difference in severity is reportedly because it replicates 70x faster in the bronchus but 10x slower in the lung tissue, leading to more bronchitis and upper respiratory involvement and less pneumonia.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's lower incidence of chronic complications than Delta and earlier variants, though. Long COVID seems to be associated with (but not unique to) more severe cases. If there's pneumonia or ARDS, there's a much easier pathway into the bloodstream than if it infects mucus membrane tissue in the upper airways. It likely can still cause long COVID, but at a lower rate corresponding to its generally lower severity.

Obviously, full studies of long-term effects are lacking, since Omicron has only been out for a month and a half.

That's interesting! My situation is the exact opposite, there's a very tight positive correlation between good mental health and reduced gut symptoms. e.g. my gut problems completely disappear when I'm driving or hiking, my favorite activities. Gut problems re-appear with mental stress, and find me a toilet fast!

Really I couldn't have asked for a better problem to deal with. The correlation between mind/gut health is so instantaneous and powerful, my child brain got Pavlovian-conditioned to deal with mental stress. I couldn't just dissociate from mental pain, I really had to understand and deal with causes of stress in a healthy way, otherwise I would be forced to the floor in the fetal position from all the cramps. Platitudes about always listening to your gut are funny, taken both literally and figuratively that's my life!

Which I was also in, just look at Huffman's paper, it's not that long, which lays out his various assumptions which lead to why the figure would be an impossible pyramid. That it has a valid interpretation does not make it suddenly a possible pyramid just a possible polyhedron, if you introduce information that isn't evident in the image.

There's no sense in discussing Huffman's Impossible Pyramid without also considering Huffman's definition for impossible. If we discard his definition, what we're talking about is something else entirely.

Thanks for noting, this was our old methodology and I will get that updated ASAP.

We are now removing the subjective feedback and only talking objectively:

1) Does the mask pass the claimed PFE (particulate filtration efficiency) standard that it claims to pass?

2) Does the mask pass the claimed breathability (as stated in the standard they are claiming, ie N95, KN95, surgical)?

3) Does the mask meet other parts of the standard?

KN95, N95, KF94, Surgical, FFP2 and others all have hundreds of pages of standards that they have to meet. Most people don't know what these are but we make masks so I've read all of the standards.

Most masks or respirators fail in #3 and we are working on being specific as to why those are failing but we have about 400 masks posted and the notations are being transposed as I write.

> import foo from 'foo';
> await foo.bar();

You only have to `await foo.bar()` if foo.bar was an async function already, the module system is irrelevant. You would still need to await it even if it was `require()`'d in.

import baz from 'baz';
baz.foo();

Works just fine, no `await` necessary.

> await Promise.all([
> import('other'),
> import('stuff'),
> ]);

Of course these have to be awaited, at this point you're explicitly trying to load new code while the program is running. It's no different than any other kind of async IO.

> import yet from 'more-stuff';

I assume this is included to imply that loading `yet` is blocked by the `await Promise.all` above it to show that import statements can run after module resolution. If this was your intent you are mistaken, that import statement is still resolved before execution begins.

// main.js
console.log('a')
await new Promise(res => setTimeout(res, 1000))
console.log('b')
import { foo } from "./foo.js";
// foo.js
export function foo() {
}
console.log('c')

Results in

> Yes, an import statement is [semantically] blocking. But even so it’s important to know that it’s performing async I/O.

No, it really isn't. From the POV of the application code it's irrelevant. This is trivially proven by the existence of module bundlers which convert non-dynamic `import` statements into one big file that doesn't do anything asynchronous to initialize.

> What I hear on HN a lot of the time is a naive belief that unions are an unalloyed good

Where do you read this? It seems to me that every thread about unions is filled with former union members that dislike unions but don't back up their dislike with any information.

I was part of Teamsters Canada for 10 years. I made $25/hr where similar positions at other companies were for $10-$12/hr. Overtime I worked was paid, always, that's literally never happened in software. If we were understaffed, management had to call in extra employees from a staffing firm to bring us to a minimum headcount, no working understaffed. We had guaranteed, mandatory to take, paid time off. When the managers were being idiots, we could tell them such without fear of being fired instantly, the union would back us when the managers were being idiots. Retirement benefits.

That's not to say it was all good though. The union never listened to our shops complaints. They didn't step in for months when things were terribly mismanaged. There was visible grifting by the leadership of the union. They could have done a better job.

That said, without the union, I would have made maybe 50% of the money I did make, the conditions would have been worse, and the chances of fixing things in the workplace would have been reduced.
I mean, the bare naked reality is that software, web software in particular, is still like... a hundred-billion dollar industry. Maybe more. As long as it's still profitable enough to deal with these supply chain attacks occasionally, and nobody legislates or regulates things, we'll keep lumbering along like this. I'm disappointed, and I don't like the current state of affairs, but we can't just expect anything to change in the absence of any kind of external pressure.

That makes sense. I'm not sure why the right to reason didn't cross my mind. Maybe I presumed it in the scenario I pictured. I'm not convinced that governments should have mandates to pursue truth at all costs.

I think the true danger is when there is little tension between government and the fourth estate. Government actions need interpretation and presentation, and when those functions lapse or are neglected, is when individuals begin losing the right to reason. To be able to make decisions presupposes that non-elites are presented with the decision in the first place. This is the context within which the naive commitment for truth is a virtue.
This might be an unpopular take, and I'm aware of how it sounds, but why don't you stop maintaining those projects if you can't do it properly?

You are not required to do this. It doesn't even mean you have to stop making new things, you can just not take on that role as a focus point of each of their respective communities.

As a user of a library, I don't hold it against their author when I find a piece of software that is abandoned. I will create my own fork and start maintaining it if I have too, or understand the state that it's in. I will find alternative avenues to discuss issues if the GitHub issue tracker is closed.

Just don't make yourself the center of a community if you are going to unleash a stalebot trashing other people's genuine issues. You are making it impossible for someone to fork. because they would be competing with the author; people might even find it distasteful. So everyone is forced to go through you, leading to both suboptimal software governance and burnout on your part. You are not getting paid, why force yourself?

> It's already impossible for a lot of people to host their own web server from their home, to own the media they purchase without it potentially being erased by the vendor at a whim

You're using this defeatist word "impossible", but it is not impossible - it is inconvenient. Work on making it more convenient, so that it won't seem impossible.

What makes the most noise in tech is things that can make money. And making money occurs by becoming a middleman, which is the polar opposite of the tech liberation dream. "Web3" has some interesting technology, but it's drowned out by money-seeking hucksterism - the exact same way we got "web2".

He has every reason to be upset about having a very rare complication.

At the point that you start casting the CDC as nefarious actors for clarifying the definition of “vaccination”, though, you’re just spreading FUD. If there was some substance to the criticism, it would be a different thing. But there is no substance to the criticism. No vaccine has ever given 100% immunity to everyone who got it. Nothing changed. It’s also inaccurate to claim that the vaccine does nothing to prevent infection. Breakthrough infections are certainly happening but unvaccinated are getting infected at a higher rate. (Plus the risk of severe infection.)

This narrative that they’re sneaking around changing definitions to trick people is absurd. They made the change publicly. The data used to make decisions around COVID is public. These aren’t back room secret deals. It’s public health policy being endlessly debated in public.

> And to be honest its a valid assessment because who would've thought we would need a 4th booster as Israel has done?

A ton of people expected this. People were talking about likely needing yearly boosters before the vaccines were even available. Maybe every 6 months is sooner than expected but boosters were totally predicted.

What is being described here is a prototypical case of industrial sabotage. Books have been written about it, the jury is very much not out on whether we should consider it malicious, although I very much consider it not... In fact industrial sabotage is quite often made out of love for the fellow worker.

This is very much a philosophical question and I doubt we will resolve it here on HN. However if you want to deem this act malicious I beg you to ask your self: To whom is the malice directed towards, who was harmed the most? What does this act tell us about the industry?

I, on the other hand, see this sabotage as a clear act of love from a fellow worker.

I'm pretty sure I was playing Counter Strike at, as reported by the game, 99 fps on my Sony Trinitron back then (2000?). We'd use "low poly" mods (simplified 3D characater models) to speed everything up and reach these speeds.

There are still messages on message boards from this era where several people mention reaching that same 99 fps.

It was two decades ago but I'm pretty sure it was 1024x768 @ 99 fps (19" Sony Trinitron). I may be mistaken on the monitor though.
iOS 15: How to Set Up a Notification Summary
I live in Boston, in the 90's it was way easier to have a car. The bike lanes have cut our two lane main roads down to one which has created a lot of traffic, a lot more than in the past. And there's much less parking due to the bikes, but also the new developments. The Mayor of Boston in the 90's wouldn't let anyone build housing unless they provided a parking space for every bedroom. The new mayor just green lit a big development that will provide no parking spaces. Having a car is your independence, not having one make you dependent on the public transportation system. It's great if you can choose not to have a car, but I don't think it's fair to prevent other people from making that choice, or making it expensive or difficult.

Also, it's much more difficult to manage a family without a car. A woman I worked with had to pick her kids every now and then. She wasn't making a lot of money and she had to pay for her own parking. It was a good job for her, so she tried to make the commute work, but it's difficult. It was difficult before, but the quality of life has gone down because people want their bicycle utopia.

I've ridden a bike in Boston since the early nineties and I don't think it's any easier or any safer. I can't tell if the bike lanes are really for bicycles or for people who want to create a hassle for people who depend on their car for their family or job.

Did this help at all?
