Yes, yet another way the government is dishonestly manipulating people into a single course of action even when it is of little benefit to anyone other than those who mistake metrics for what the metrics were designed to manage. There appears to be no bottom to the depths of credibility destruction that the government will plunge in order to put compliance above all else.
This totally discounts reinfections and long covid. A lot of people are going to die and get disabled.

Firstly, sometimes a shot needs to be taken at said websites and there are people who work there who will be reading it.

Secondly, because inside jokes are the best jokes.
It depends on the details of the license. If it was a bog standard MIT license (which in this case it is) then you could surely fork the repo remove that logic and carry on with your day (though you'd probably still need to credit the original author with the attribution clause) - MIT like licenses can dictate some terms around uses while allowing most modifications though.

That said - you do need to actually modify the code yourself, if you instead decided to use some man-in-the-middle attack to modify the packets in flow you may still be misuing the software. There are ways you could approach a solution that would in fact violate the license, as trivial as it is to circumvent.
Denying healthcare to those who don't take of themselves is a necessary evil to avoid the burden of freedumbs.

The obese also experience disproportionately more classic hits including diabetes, amputations, falls, strokes, heart attacks, and cancers.

Speaking of drunk idiots: from my vantage, I regularly see more than one rider piled on a Lime scooter in the middle of the street in nightclub traffic. Organ donors? Nawh. I think they're too selfish and stupid to opt-in. But big mommy and big daddy consequence-free, unlimited care will spare no expense to patch them back together (i.e., craniofacial trauma, TBI, ortho) if they hit a rock, pothole, curb, bump, or get run over.

I'm surprised to hear this take. I find Chase to be the best bank I've ever worked with -- personal accounts, business accounts, everything. Customer service is top notch. Website is great. I'd love to hear your choices for a top retail bank.

Yes, i'm in the NY area, so true on branch location issue. But how often do you have to visit a branch if you have good systems? The branch is usually for when systems fail.

Not the best lending bank, and def not the best investment platform. I'm not sure why they cant be all three (organic or m&a) given the high synergy.

Someone had XFree86 Server ported to Zaurus' Qtopia environment as an app. I didn't understand what `export DISPLAY=:0` meant back then but I could just do that. That was objectively far more awesome compared to their later Windows Mobile offerings developed in cooperation with WILLCOM.

e: ran a search on my disk for "\.ipk" and got a few files. Emacs, gtk2, konqueror, minicom, nano, prism3 driver, xmms, XQt, Blackbox ... why did I have `make` for Zaurus!? There is no way I can satisfy GPL obligations but do anyone want these archived? Right now it's on a nonredundant storage.

>10 years is not that long ago. In computers and software the difference between 2022 and 2012 is not as big as it was between 1992 and 2002.

It's still an immense period of technology time - OS and hardware vendors don't support their products "forever": it's not sane to do so

Run 10-year-old hardware/OS if you want ... but you should expect increasing issues over time
That is a trivial conclusion. Much has been written about it. Pfizer themselves have written they estimate 67 billion dollars in revenue each year from Paxlovid, which is way more than their vaccine revenues and it's not even close. If you want my back-of-the-napkin calculation, here it is.

The cost of a generic Paxlovid course of treatment is around 40$. The cost of treatment, negotiated down by the government (and thus higher for other parties) is around 600$. So the marginal profit from a course of treatment of Paxlovid is around 540$.

On the other hand, a vaccine dose costs 20$, and it is very difficult to manufacture. A reasonable estimate of profit is 10$ per dose. This is an overestimate, because Pfizer has to share a sizeable portion of the Profit with BioNTech and other companies.

Paxlovid is indicated to be taken as early as possible - and priced so that it makes financial sense for insurance companies to pay for it to avoid the cost of hospitalization. Therefore we can expect a sizeable proportion of people with COVID symptoms to take it.

Paxlovid reduces the symptomatic illness period, so there is also a very strong incentive for individuals to take it as it allows them to be less sick. For the less fortunate, it also means less sick days to take, which may be crucial to make ends meet.

If we're expecting everyone to take a vaccine dose every six months (which we all know will never happen), that's 20$/person.year from the vaccine.

If we expect everyone to have COVID symptoms every year (which is almost certainly an underestimate), at 540$/person.year, we only need to have a 3.7% take rate for Paxlovid in order for it to generate more profit than everyone taking two doses every year (which, again, will never even come close to happening).

So as long as 3.7% of the population takes one Paxlovid course of treatment every year, Pfizer will make more profit from Paxlovid than the vaccine.

So it is trivially true that widespread COVID infection (and low vaccination numbers) is going to be Pfizer's financial incentive.
It gets harder to pull that off once you’re a long-term holder

Oddest part about it is that they invented it in 2018.
> Just the one booster is fine.

Its fine for right now. You will need another booster in a few months to remain protected (original estimate was every 6 months, CDC lowered that to 5 months already). Israel is already rolling out a fourth shot, and the CDC now recommends 4 doses for immune compromised people.
You seem to be alleging a massive global conspiracy that must involve tens if not hundreds of thousands of health officials, academics, and scientists all working together to hide the truth for some unstated reason.

This perfectly describes my situation as well. I've been pondering this subject for some time now but I don't see a way out. In my case I could get that focus time if I simply got rid of almost all of my hobbies and interests. That way it would be feasible to dedicate 1 or 2 hours per day to the disciplined pursuit of just a single activity. But that's about it.

The other day I had what I consider an extremely disciplined day. I woke up at 7am, was at the bouldering gym at 8am, went straight to work from that at 10:00am and worked until maybe 6:00pm. Then I went home, immediately started to make food and took care of some tax stuff, planning for upcoming vacations, and so on.

At the end this leaves me with more or less no time for anything on that day. So essentially bouldering in the morning was my theme on that day and that's it. But of course I don't want to accept this and then I'm disappointed that I didn't dedicate any time to my 5 other hobbies.
For me, most of the AirPod annoyances individually are worse than cable yanking. Taken together, it's no contest.
Simply turning it off is going to leave a lot of non-technical people who had this setup for them very frustrated.
It's like you woke up and decided to post exactly the thing I've been looking for over the past 6-12 months
From the only randomised controlled study of masks... https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/5/4/e006577.long

"The rates of all infection outcomes were highest in the cloth mask arm, with the rate of ILI statistically significantly higher in the cloth mask arm (relative risk (RR)=13.00, 95% CI 1.69 to 100.07) compared with the medical mask arm. Cloth masks also had significantly higher rates of ILI compared with the control arm. An analysis by mask use showed ILI (RR=6.64, 95% CI 1.45 to 28.65) and laboratory-confirmed virus (RR=1.72, 95% CI 1.01 to 2.94) were significantly higher in the cloth masks group compared with the medical masks group. Penetration of cloth masks by particles was almost 97% and medical masks 44%

What type of masks do you see ~98‰ of people using? Here it is the cloth/fashion mask. The ones which, at the a beginning, had warnings about not being effective protection against covid.
That talking point no longer works. The vaccine has been taken by billions of people by now and has a larger sample size proving its safety than any other medicine in the history of humanity.

In all fairness, it doesn't get much less credible than the Epoch Times.
The problem here is that your definition of the product is far too coarse. You can only really talk about competition for products which are truly equivalent. For an extreme example of why too coarse a definition of the product might yield a bad understanding of monopolies. Say that there was a food company and a water company. You might argue that both of these companies are competing in the space of "products that you need to live", but I clearly need both things, so sales do not form a zero sum game between the two companies.

So why is facebook a monopoly? For the simple reason that having access to your friends on facebook and having access to your friends on tiktok is not a zero sum game. There is a limited amount of tradeoff between the two, but it is expected for consumers to want both, creating intrinsic opportunities for the two companies to cooperate, instead of compete.

The problem is that competition is measured more or less as how anti-correlated demand for two products is, or approximately, How much less price sensitive my demand for the "sum" of the products is than for just one of them. If this is your measure, then you see that facebook and Tiktok don't compete all that much.

One easy way to fix some of these problems is by requiring something like XMPP. Peering between IM providers would make these things a lot more fungible. Google abandoned XMPP, hwich was very popular, for their inferior chat application, for a reason, and the only reason that I own any Apple products is because of iMessage.
Ask HN: Best solution for support articles?
I run a website for hobbyists that is growing quickly and getting more and more complex. Naturally, people on the Discord server are starting to ask the same questions. It seems like a set of support articles with a good search would help out the community.

I'm looking for a super simple solution which doesn't require coding or much setup (open source would be nice, too). I have used Intercom's Help Center product in the past, but it just feels too bulky and also a bit pricey.

Any recommendations?
The problem is the cards lack security features and an electronic verification mechanism. They should've thought about fakes before rolling them out.
I'm also using it for few years, the only complain I got so far is a lack of proper version for Mac OS and any mobile client. Obviously Python+GTK work on Mac OS, but few times either updates of Python, Mac OS or Zim itself, broke it for me. For mobile the only option is either to view files directly, or use built-in web server (though no editing is available in this case).
Korean is not a tonal language. But Hangul is great, I wish Thailand would adopt it.
I agree - I am worried about taking hospital capacity claims at face value though.

From what I've seen, it was common for hospitals to report being overwhelmed even during flu seasons pre-covid. I wouldn't classify that level of 'overwhelmed' worthy of mandates upon society.

I don't doubt that during these periods of time hospital resources are strained in some way, but there's a difference between this routine level of being overwhelmed and a level where freedoms should be restricted from the general public.

I don't have a good model for where the line should be drawn, but I lean towards not imposing restrictions unless massive benefit can be shown beyond a reasonable doubt.
If we go by that metric, then the entire modern world has been built such that nobody will have a "healthy sleep schedule". I have to start work when I start work regardless of when I would be best suited to rising without my morning alarm.

Unfortunately the nearby headphone notifications are not generated by an app, so you can't use the normal notification banner settings. The only way I've found to disable them is to go to Bluetooth preferences (while the headphones are connected), click options next to the headphones, and change the "Connect to This Mac" dropdown from "Automatically" to "When Last Connected to This Mac".

I'm not satisfied with this solution since I enjoy the automatic switching between devices, but I'm driven crazy by the notifications that pop up on my mac literally as I'm listening to music with those headphones on my iPhone. C'mon Apple - this is all within your ecosystem!
I am very glad to see that Zim has gotten their Windows builds working again.

Absolutely, but it's still scary nonetheless! The problem is that there's not many viable alternative to WP.
Some features that Betterment offers for example

* automatic rebalancing

* tax loss harvesting

* tax co-ordinated investing - looks at both your taxable and tax exempt/deffered accounts and directs funds appropriately (for example, puts more tax inefficient assets in your tax exempt accounts)

You can of course do this on your own as well, so it's up to you to decide whether the additional fee is worth it or not. Also, not all robo advisors offer the same features - but most offer automatic rebalancing at a minimum.
> No we aren't.

In Denmark where I live there are now trivial things that are impossible to do without an Apple or Google smartphone, and important things that are becoming very hard. Unless laws are specifically enacted to enshrine "analogue rights" or whatever, it will become impossible to exist here without a smartphone over the next decade.

Cash is largely dead and will die when the legal requirement to accept it is phased out at some point in the next few years. In addition to credit cards, there is one app for payments (owned by the largest retail bank) that has become the de facto standard for person-to-person transfers. So we are already at the point where not having a smartphone makes you a second class citizen, unable to participate in some parts of the economy.
One reason they've underperformed a bit is because they have a lower risk profile than SPY.

When the market crashes, I expect their autorebalancer to make a killing.

Which is part of the reason I download .epubs from Overdrive (who then presumably knows at least what books I’ve checked out). That and I don’t have a Kindle, but a Kobo using KOReader and Plato (preferring the former for features over speed of opening books for the first time).
It might be because they're the same thing.

Libertarianism leads to oligarchies led by the richest.

Absolutely not, polar opposite. If i'm a buy-and-hold investor who wants to set-it-and-forget it invest auto every week, Fractional share purchase are the only real way to consistently purchase. How would you buy AMZN every pay period if a single share is more than your entire investment amount.

In the eyes of your bank, the _least_ suspicious thing you can do is show up to your local branch and present your physical card and photo ID. Your bank will be much more cautious for large transactions done through an app, where the only authentication is a password and possibly an SMS message. Your bank will probably ask a few questions if you show up in-person to deposit $50k cash into a personal account, but it's not like you could avoid that by using their app.
>removes an entire class of bugs and annoyances

Bugs and annoyances which not everyone is having. Stripping out functionality to crush bugs is like removing your stomach to get rid of a stomach ache.

There are cases and classes of hardware where Bluetooth is not ideal and 2.4GHz proprietary standards are used (low latency audio, gaming mice, concert/conference audio. etc.) but those devices already exist on said proprietary standard instead of Bluetooth since they're usually not meant to be paired with changing hosts/clients all the time like most bluetooth devices, so what's your point? Do you want proprietary dongles to ship with every pair of earphones?

2.4GHz proprietary standards are no magic silver bullet either. Sure, compared to Bluetooth they can have the advantage of latency and bandwidth depending on how you implement said custom protocol in firmware, but it's ultimately the same damn overcrowded ISM band shared with the billions of devices everyone has everywhere (Bluetooth phones, smartwatches, headphones, cars, IoT devices, security systems, and, the 400 pound gorilla in the room, motha-friggin-Wi-Fi) . So due to pollution on the 2.4GHz spectrum you'll end up with potentially similar issues like Bluetooth devices except now you have a proprietary standard to deal with.
I don't understand this position. Are you honestly proposing that we permanently require masks in all public, indoor environments? For the rest of our lives?

I don't see how you can flippantly propose this as an option. How can you be ok with wearing masks for the rest of your life—if it can at all be avoided?
Maybe they don't want people to ask them anything.
I understand your point about infectiousness I think it's good and I agree.

My comment was as a follow up to your statement: "Vaccines help reduce severity in some capacity", there's a lot of behaviors that reduce severity in some capacity, and doing those would translate in lots of time savings and less pressure on the healthcare system in the same way as the vaccines do, the vaccines just have the extra "bonus" of being able to infect healthcare workers, so their negative effects compound. But if your argument is about first principles, any sort of self preservation has the same problem. So I was just commenting on that.

You're right the bit about feeling strongly was probably a subconscious dig, sorry about that, but I was amused at the "shame on you" and had a moment of weakness, my bad.

Also I didn't intend much with the fatties, I find it eandearing and have been a fatty myself at times in my life and have many I like, if that offended I'm sorry and I wish I hadn't used the term, but that's life and these are just internet comments.
I started in 2016, other than 2018 (down 8%) I've been up ~10-25% each year. It's worked well and I've been happy with it.
Vaccine injuries are reported from official sources just the same as covid-related injuries. There’s not a big media buzz around it because the numbers are so small, and everyone knew going in that there would be a small number of adverse reactions.
I found a bug in Cash App that exposes SSNs, but their max bug bounty is $8000, so fuck 'em. The other option for people finding bugs is to sell it to "the other side" if they pay more money.
