I do plan on moving to an unpolluted area, or at least that's what my OCD wants.

OCD is "what if?"-centric. I do try to consider that intelligent people live, typically, in polluted areas(for work or school), but is their remarkable ability in spite of that? What if they'd be better if they went off to rural Maine or wherever and worked remotely?

I also try to consider that "speed" is probably not the great determinant of who succeeds in life, but that people who are virtuous, or perhaps - have a personality conducive to being considerate & contemplative, mature, humble, confident, et cetera - is probably closer to the answer, and whether you need every last IQ point to be such person, I'm unsure. What if that is necessary?

I wish that I could just say "this isn't worth the effort. I'm not absorbing anything clinically significant. We are okay. Wash your hands like a normal person(follow CDC 6-step recommendation) and move on." and believe it & follow through.

I very much appreciate your response.
> Encouraging natural immunity is asking for hospitals to get filled up by people giving themselves covid on purpose. This affects non covid patients too.

So uh, what is that.... 0.01% of the entire population? Less? Yes, some people will cheat the system but people cheat all systems all the time. That's just life.

Most people will do the right thing. We cannot build a society around 0.01% of us who cheat.
More reason not to build your house on someone else's land.
I have been trying to figure this out myself. The algorithm I'm using is to colour yellow only if the count of that letter before that occurance in the guess, is less than the count of that letter in the target word.
PCR tests are only done on essential workers so the real case number is WAY higher.
You can disable that automatic connection behaviour in the airpod settings from each device, that resolves a few of the issues
Markdown by design allows arbitrary HTML, so every markdown viewer at a minimum needs to support the entire HTML, CSS, etc. DOM. It's easiest (and likely more secure) to use something like Chromium.
i haven’t kept up with ENS to this deal. they moved from a multisig to a DAO. as GP claims, they also restricted the set of actions available to governance before this move. on the face of it then, it doesn’t look unlikely that the DAO will vote to further restrict its own abilities as time goes on. this exact mechanism has been used to progressively decentralize other protocols, and as we see with other “governance tokens” (e.g. Uniswap — where IIRC governance can tweak like one single boolean parameter), massively restricting governance abilities doesn’t destroy the viability of the token (which is to say, it’s not clear to me in which direction the finance incentive — if any — points with regards to such “ungovernance”).
What you’re saying is literally the same with fidelity, Schwab, vanguard, etc using an index.
This wouldn't happen as it's against the economic interests of the ENS DAO. Similar to a company maximizing the value of its stock, the DAO aims to maximize the value of the $ENS token by being a good steward of the project.

The whole point of a DAO like this is to try to create good incentives for the project without central control.
From my vague memories of the time, you are correct (or at least that's how I parsed it back then).

The EU decision actually had more teeth though.
What are the sources of those "data points"?

As far as I can tell, that 2% didn't return anything and even plumbed the rating of their bonds with public funds during a crisis, the reality is they currently need all their money. A lot more is going wrong ofc:

Money is disappearing from their chivo wallet - https://mobile.twitter.com/_elcomisionado_/status/1472326380...

Bitcoin fees are subsidized - https://www.elsalvador.com/noticias/negocios/el-salvador-bit...

Chivo went down with AWS - https://www.elsalvador.com/noticias/negocios/chivo-wallet-em...

Chivo is based on mongodb, that doesn't even have data integrity - https://bitcoinist.com/from-the-ground-anita-posch-bitcoin-e...

Bitcoin Remittances are only 5% of the market - https://www.elsalvador.com/noticias/negocios/el-salvador-bit... - barely even worth mentioning. They have more than that entire market in BTC holdings.

Cabinet is sentenced for corruption - https://www.elsalvador.com/noticias/negocios/chivo-wallet-ca...

The money that is brought in, is mostly money laundering and I'm expecting that will have big consequences.

Most importantly, remittances are more expensive with Bitcoin! https://qz.com/2058676/remittances-to-el-salvador-are-cheape...

The continued promotion of buying the new dips of BTC could become a real risk.

It seems the reason this is being bonked by CSP is that it's not a browser extension, but rather a bookmarklet, and it's bookmarklets that are being whacked by CSP. And it's sad, because bookmarklets were even more in the ethos of zero-install than extensions are - but that's a double edged sword if malicious actors use it on unwitting customers.

Where extensions are actually getting whacked beyond what is necessary for security, though, is Chrome's Manifest V3, which is tightly cutting down on the ability of extensions to eval code, run background tasks, and run custom logic to intercept web requests. Anti-ad-blocking considerations are creating massive conflicts of interest here, straight to the point of the last paragraph in the parent. It's not a good direction for the open web.

Why are hospitals stretched thin? Nurses have quit, have been fired due to mandates, and have been prevented from returning to work due to infection. You need a passport to eat in a restaurant here. There are 30,000 pissed off truckers headed to Ottawa right now. They lost their jobs due to mandates. Your argument is that these things are smart decisions?
I don’t have AirPods but this sometimes happens to me when I turn off my Bluetooth headphones. Usually it’s Spotify that begins playing on my computer. I agree that google searching has been unhelpful.

How many of these groups are really needed ? Seems like overengineering.
Without a central arbiter who takes responsibility for producing a consistent and coherent design, you would likely end up with a mish mash of pet features.

If a customer asks for a feature, you can say no if it is a bad choice. You have less leverage to do so when that 'customer' is really a paying member of a consortium.
Agreed. At my university, in my era (almost 30 years ago), the compilers sequence was two full quarters and generally considered to be the hardest classes in the CSc major.
I really loved it but it would have been a huge distraction mixed in with the DB classes.

Those compilers classes turned out to be pretty useful. I ended up having to build custom parsers several times in my career... including an SQL parser.

Thanks for sharing, but this approach is not what I'm looking for. Being able to (auto)commit to git from the editor is priceless to me.

I've used Markor but there's too much file management involved, instead of organising pages at a higher level and letting the app handle the filesystem ops.
> Our system is overwhelmed as is.

I have yet to see proof that most of the system is "overwhelmed". Sure there are hotspots here and there but this idea that the system is on the brink of collapse is hyperbole. And even if it is true, these dudes had 2 years of our time to figure out how to deal with it. 2 years of our short lives we've given so they could fix this capacity issue. Where is the results? Why is it the general public's fault at this point?

If on line 37, page 409, of a car rental agreement that you sign, it states that if you are an hour late in returning your vehicle, the car rental company will take your firstborn, and you sign this agreement, then it's on you, right?
False. Individual liberty must be protected. Denying food shopping is a special kind of cruel and unusual punishment. It’s a personal choice, full stop.
I know some people have experimented with WiFi direct for that, but I'm not really familiar with it's limitations besides "you have to be hooked up to a router for it to work". One thing's for certain though, if someone made a pair of lossless cans that could "find" devices over arbitrary WiFi networks, I'd probably switch just for the improvement in latency alone.
They define 10Mbps as "fast".
Do you use Spotify? There is a really annoying feature on IOS Spotify where it hijacks the system volume control, and syncs it with the Spotify desktop app running on another computer. Sometimes even when the mobile app is closed!

And inevitably because I don't use the desktop app volume adjust just the system volume, it syncs my phone volume to 100% every time.

Seat belts and helmets do not require chemicals to be injected into your bloodstream in order to freely associate with other humans. These measures change free association by making it illegal to exist naturally around others. There is a huge difference.

The performance sensitive stuff (e.g. I/O, etc) written in Cython and Rust. Under the hood all EdgeQL queries are compiled to an equivalent Postgres query.
Actually that is an amazingly good proxy for how effective MAD would be. Look at each world leader. Did they follow overwhelming scientific advice (backed up by peer pressure from all other world leaders) and publically promote lockdown, or did they publicwlly disown the science, announce their own solutions / policies etc.

Those that made official advice to "use aromatherapy" or something are people not likely to follow Game Theory.

The count is well above zero
Last line of the article is that law firms have already lined up to defend the law pro bono.

I suspect this is 2 parts political grandstanding and 1 part test case, but it'll be interesting to see it play out in the courts. The low dollar amount and revenue collected is probably intentional, so that the lawyers can argue that it doesn't pose an undue burden on gun owners and get the case law precedent opening up the door to bigger taxes later.
Could you give more details? I’m surprised it was a pay increase. I love writing and I’ve vaguely considered doing this sort of thing, but I’ve never seriously looked into it.
Why was the title edited here on HN? The original title is much better, and had more information. A bit ironic given the subject matter.

Dang, was this your doing? If so, can we please have an open discussion on this? It's happened a few times and it's annoying and seemingly randomly enforced. The guidelines state not to editorialize headers but this rule gets ignored a lot. What was deficient about the original title?

Edit: on Q of ITER. The approximation is reasonable. ITER isn't a power plant. It's being built to study burning plasmas and blanket technologies. It has always been a stepping stone. Is the number not getting large enough fast enough to please the god emperor?

Which issue, exactly? She raises several flags then conflates them all.

The overarching theme is that scientists are misleading the public. There is no shortage of charlatans using the guise of fusion research to spend public goodwill. She is pushing the idea that even the real scientists are doing the same. They are not. Who are these figments "touting Q"? The pop science articles? Did she sit down and actually talk to a single researcher, ever? In the comments I link above I tear apart her primary sources as they are misrepresented.

She seems intent on claiming Qplasma is a bad metric and shouldn't be used. Well she isn't qualified to make that statement, certainly without some scientific basis for the claim. Astonishingly she never mentions triple product or empirical scaling laws, which are the actual metrics that real research machines use. Real machines are not nuclear, so Q is always zero. Does this mean fusion has made zero progress? This highlights her bias in the argument.
Technical/consultative sales. The kind where customers come to you and are looking for advice/solutions, not the kind where you’re cold calling or fighting for leads.

Sales professions get a bad rap and rightfully so in some cases. However, if you find the right role, it’s incredibly rewarding to help customers solve problems, beat out competition, and have a measurable metric (money) to determine your level of success/contribution (or vice versa).

That last sentence is a big part of why people get burnt out, as in my opinion. It’s also something very difficult to measure in software engineering and attempts to do so (e.g., number of commits, lines of code, frequency, etc.) are nebulous measures. They also are useless with regards to determining if the business itself is successful/what your contribution to that success is.
Who hasn’t realized it? The country is fully open and other than mask requirements in schools and public transit, there are essentially no restrictions for vaccinated individuals
I was about to post this. People with AirPods really should know this - you sound like you're talking on a 1980s radio when you're on a Slack/Zoom/Teams call.
That's entirely false. The plugin offers three license options.

https://github.com/floatinghotpot/cordova-admob-pro/wiki/Lic...

> 3. Win-win partnership

> And, if you don't have enough money yet to get a license, or don't have a PayPal account, here is another flexible option worth considering, no need to pay a cent. We may call it partnership.

> We maintain, support, and version update for any plugin issues, you don't worry about its update or bugfix, just use it for free, and focus on your app or game logic.

> Ship our code with yours to end-user, no need paying a cent at all, instead, share 2 percent ad traffic, so that we can both benefit and cover our cost to maintain and enhance this project.

The problem is the plugin author silently raised that "share 2 percent ad traffic" to 30%.

It is well known that vaccination helps to reduce spread. It isn't perfect, but it is better than being unvaccinated.

The data is clear but you can also reason about this and feel like it is intuitively true - those that are vaccinated face better outcomes and are sick for shorter periods of time, the shorter period of time they are infected leads to them being unable to infect others for as long. It's pretty simple, really.

edit: multiple studies by scientists in different countries is more reliable than marketing text from any specific manufacturer. The data is available, just read the studies mentioned in the article I linked, or research on your own.
I'm talking about banning unvaccinated people from buying groceries, specifically. Which is what this is about.
This is the problem. At most it’s worth the least someone will pay for it which is almost nothing. The proportion of people who will pay for it won’t cover the operating costs of delivering the content.
If you are so worried about covid... don't go outside. Or if you do, triple mask and wear a face shield. I don't care. Just don't force me into taking measures to make you less fearful--that's pretty selfish.

The difference is that one is opt-out and the other is opt-in (with a charge associated).

Anyone can choose to opt-out, however by charging for opt-in you're putting up barriers for those that don't have the same disposable income.

So to answer your question, yes, it is objectively worse.
This is a state fighting its own citizens for a political act of ignorance. 90% of eligible individuals have received at least one dose in Quebec.[0] What's the point of additional marginalization of a very stubborn group of people? It's playing with fire and with no responsibilities, as I severely doubt anyone will be convinced to get vaccinated because they can't go to Walmart after one year of restrictions, but it will certainly make them madder.

It's not about being entitled to post. Rather, it's about creating a network with content created by people from a diverse set of backgrounds.

Consider Hacker News, specifically this submission [0] on "My Story as a Homeless Developer." If HN had a paywall to post, the readers wouldn't be able to learn from the story. Even if the person paid to post, the comment section might also not have included as many offers to support the writer from formerly homeless developers, as these people may not have been on the platform due to a retained habit of frugality.

The comparison to race car driving also isn't equivalent. It comparatively costs a near-negligible amount to allow one more user to create content on a platform, versus providing someone with a race car. Perhaps a comparison to a relatively low-cost sport (swimming, marathon running) would be more apt, though still flawed (for content creation isn't equivalent to a competitive sport).

There are literally billions of unvaccinated people on the planet still, and there are unvaccinated wildlife hosts for Covid as well. It was naive to think that anything but this scenario would emerge.
The NiMH batteries are likely in series. They have a capacity of 600mAh.

So even if you can't fully discharge the NiMH batteries you should comfortably get an hour of battery life out of this thing, much more, if you don't use the display.
There should be stigma for people who spread misinformation during a deadly pandemic, in my opinion.

And yes, what you're implying heavily in your posts would require some sort of conspiracy to be plausible. You're going against dozens of countries' thousands of experts and numerous studies, then choosing to believe quacks on panels on youtube whose wikipedia articles have giant "covid-19 misinformation" sections in them with ample citations.
It takes a long time to train doctors and nurses and other relevant staff. Worse, the hard working conditions those people have been enduring since 2020 has led to a lot of burnout and attrition.
Citation needed; just like how I can't claim without criticism that the vaccines may have lead to Omicron and other variants - where there is evidence that vaccinated people catch certain variants more than others, and there's also building evidence that you're more likely to catch COVID if vaccinated.

Edit to add [I'm rate limited from commenting further for the time being]: Look into the Great Barrington Declaration for reference to evidence for "you're more likely to catch COVID if vaccinated."
> Surveillance-resistant systems are not an answer to authoritarianism.
>
> Private companies do not have freedom of operation in authoritarian regimes.

Companies can never be surveillance resistant, they'll get court orders and follow them.

The only surveillance resistant (not surveillance-proof obviously) technologies are distributed, decentralized ones implemented in open source.

You're right that political activism is ultimately the only good answer. But it's not either/or, it is still quite useful in parallel to also develop, maintain and popularize decentralized systems as much as possible.
> The incandescent light bulb? At one time considered to be a securities fraud! The British parliament assembled a team of investigators to probe Edison's claims.

I don't know this story, but maybe they were investigating patent infringement? Edison's work drew heavily on the much earlier work of British (and other) inventors and was patented after Joseph Swan's similar patent. Joseph Swan had demonstrated his practical bulb about 10 months before Edison applied for his patent, and was lighting private homes (e.g. Cragside) and theatres at about the same time Edison got going.
> covid is aerosolized so why are we worrying about droplets again?

Tried is a generous word for Microsoft’s effort. They barely invested anything into their devices and retail experience, and then pulled the plug as soon as they had a decent version of their mobile OS.

If they had any chutzpah, they would have continued plowing their billions in profit into improving their device, and coming out with innovations similar to Apple’s own chips.

Obviously, Microsoft’s C suite does not think their org can do better than collect the rent from Excel licenses and Azure.

There was a project out of MIT CSAIL back in 2006 that did automated extraction of tabular data from web pages. e.g. product lists on a store site. It recognized pagination and looked for a sequence repeated DOM structures (and what varied in them) to identify the items. You might find it interesting:
