My understanding is that people with suppressed symptoms are also less likely to transmit it. This makes sense given that we know coughing and sneezing is a primary transmission vector. So if you're not coughing and sneezing you're much less likely to transmit it. Of course you still can transmit it just by breathing, but it's just less likely.

I would also add that I'm speaking in the context of the UK. Here we have freely and widely available lateral flow tests (you can order packs of tests online or pick them up from local chemists, and there is no charge in either case), and people are encouraged to test regularly, especially if attending a social event and even if you have no symptoms. And a lot of people are required to test regularly as part of their jobs, or in order to attend to school. In this context, it's quite likely that asymptomatic cases get picked up anyway.

I immediately knew what's the article about, just by looking at the header. Anecdote time: my father used to be one of top-5 world's manufacturers of Denationium Benzoate, before he decided to retire. I grew up with this substance, I moved bottles, bags, canisters, flasks, barrels full of it. I drove in a car that was used to ship it. I had my clothes washed together with the clothes that was in contact with the DB.

I simply grew up to like the bitterness. You put your t-shirt on, there is bitterness in your mouth. You enter the BMW 5-series with leather seats, sit down and just enjoy the bitterness. This thing is really really spreading easily in powdered form. That was fun childhood/teenager times :) Actually, really inspiring, I've met a lot of interesting people - from random sales people, random purchasers, seen extremely interesting usecases for the Denatonium (like checking whether the cooking process is actually kosher, if it's not the food would be bitter, amongst more funny stories), met CEOs of petrol companies, met whole bunch of liquor producers... Honestly lucky me to be born to a producer of Denatonium Benzoate.
So he used code straight off GitHub, didn’t read the license terms, and then has the gall to call it “stealing” when the program does exactly as it says it would.

Either learn to read licenses, or have a list of approved licenses (MIT, GPL, etc.) and only use software thus licensed.

EDIT: What I mean above is the 2% which is specified in the “Licence Agreement” page – the article author is clearly considering this, too, to be “stealing”. Regarding the increase from 2% to 30%, that is way more questionable, and I do not defend it.
> When the land was privatized, the government made it a condition that the hiking trail would remain for the general public to enjoy

Here in Massachusetts, our trespassing laws only apply to "improved" land. So you are free to transit any wilderness areas, even if they are privately owned, and even if "no trespassing" signs are posted. Of course, nobody knows this or follows it. People regularly call the police, who are just as ignorant on the law, because people are on their land.
You must be playing the provocateur?

"Step 1: Everyone gets a Ph.D.

Step 2: Meals cook themselves!"

(I suppose we could all live on MREs?)

Knowledge isn't zero-sum, but credentials are. Educating everyone doesn't make "menial" jobs go away. Better, really, to recognize some of those jobs as more important, and be willing to pay for them.

Also, there are gains from trade, and economies of scale. The time to cook two meals is less than double the time to cook one. And the person who specializes in it is probably better at it than the person who specializes in some other thing. When things are working correctly, these gains are then distributed across society by exchange.

I don’t foresee prices recovering in a significant way. My apartment complex wanted an additional $300/mo rent for a yearly renewal and no matter how strong of a recovery there may be on the horizon, I sense higher prices are mostly here to stay. From a business standpoint, a perception of high inflation is the perfect cover for raising prices, especially if it seems like everyone else is doing it. Plus, assuming costs do go down again, you can pocket the difference rather than lowering prices just to need to raise them again for inflation later.
HTML5 has been around for long enough that we should be able to punish sites that use completely bonkers markup at this point right? Since Google effectively has historical archives of the internet they could pretty trivially grandfather in legitimately old content (things they tracked before some date) and just start down-ranking sites that continue to misbehave with markdown but skate by with browsers running in compatibility mode. Something like abusing <h1> tags is legal, if obnoxious, HTML and so it shouldn't really fall under this... but it's been long enough that we can start punishing completely incorrect syntax right?

I don't think I could prepare for YC or any other sort of funding any other way, short of quitting my other responsibilities. There's not enough time in the day, so you have to give up something.

I upgraded my 6s finally.. and the lack of headphone jack is frankly painful. I can’t just plug into my car, home office, and office headphones.. I lost the little dongle..

I think I’m going to buy 3 of those adapters and leave them where I use my headphones. What a waste.

Wireless changing helps the charge while listening though, so that’s a plus.
> literally everything is made in china, if the quality is as bad as you say the world would have fallen apart.

no not literally everything. and who’s not annoyed by shopping on amazon and having to weed through all the cheap chinese “solutions”? The only time you get something quality from China is if some other company outside China is commissioning them to build their stuff with high standards. the rest of Chinese “innovation” is seeing how cheap they can make something before it does literally fall apart.

The NEP wasn't (in its own theory) state capitalism but a transition from war communism (which I think was, even in its own theory, still state capitalism) but to a mix of “socialized” industry and state-guided private capitalism. (Yes , critics would say that the “socialized” industries were really state capitalist and that the degree of centralized “guidance” made the private sector also state capitalism, but we’re talking about what Lenin and the internal theory of the USSR portrayed it as, where it was a different temporary stepping stone to fully socialized industry.)
Yes, it switches to a different audio codec, that’s unavoidable due to bandwidth limitations. However, macOS insists on using a worse codec than necessary (SCO instead of SBC) and, at least with my MX4 headphones, this badly scrambles audio, at least intermittently. I’ve stopped using the headphone microphone because it was unbearable. I’ve tried playing with the bluetooth settings but nothing seems to fix this.
Yep. Anything you can build a Docker image for, but "fly launch" may just do the right thing for it.

Annoyance 5 is the worst for me: the 5-7 second delay when switching from Mac to phone.

I'm usually on my Mac during the day, Zoom calls, Spotify, etc. Then I get a phone call. If I just answer, it doesn't auto-switch fast enough. And if I manually switch, it regularly doesn't switch at all on the first try. And even when it does switch, there's a 5 second delay while the other person is going "hello? are you there?"

"Out-of-control SpaceX rocket on collision course with the Moon"

Deference has nothing to do with it, The Guardian's title is just optimized for clickbait. An out of control rocket on a collision course with the moon paints a vaguely described but exciting picture about a disastrous scenario where there is none and we should avoid sharing such headlines when better ones exist, especially if the original it links to didn't have that issue.

I wrote education, not credentials. That includes learning how to farm, be an electrician, a crane operator, a researcher, learning how to cook, it could be anything.

It is obvious that a society with widespread use of personal drivers/housekeepers/nannies is simply one with a wider income/wealth gap.

One option is to spend multiple generations slowing bringing the housekeepers kids up the ladder with the housekeeper’s meager savings, and then their kids, and so on. Or we can cut the crap, and redistribute wealth more quickly and directly via a public education/training system.
> it simply needs to get better at its job

The issue here (and with regulators in general) is that in general "being better at their job" means going into more depth to determine whether an approval is warranted, which means expending more resources on investigation. I don't know that I've ever seen any overlap between the people who think the regulators do a bad job at regulating and people who think we should be funding the regulators more thoroughly.

All that not to mention that when a regulator like the FDA starts going into more depth in its investigations of an industry, that industry's firms start spending more money on either complying with or deceiving the regulator, risking a downward spiral of wasted resources.
Please don't cross into the flamewar style, no matter how strongly you (and others) feel on a topic. We're trying to avoid that here, and need everyone to pitch in.

Try generating a Google Takeout from https://takeout.google.com/ and see what turns up in it.

While it's always interesting/practical ("just because") to have a full takeout sitting around locally, that would probably create a multiple GB tome (all of Gmail, Drive, ...) that would a day or two to generate and then potentially a while more to download, so for this experiment hitting "Deselect all" and then checking "Calendar" should be good enough.

The process of generating the takeout archive and downloading it are distinctly separate steps with some indeterminate amount of time in between, so you could very likely initiate the takeout from your phone, then follow up on the download link(s) it emails you when you get to a computer (IIRC the archive(s) hang around for a couple of days).

If you do indeed find deleted entries (nooo), I found that (a) Google Calendar itself has no auto-delete functionality (https://support.google.com/calendar/thread/3530801/how-do-i-...), but that if you have your calendar set up to sync with other software, that software might be issuing "deletion" requests (possibly under the guise of auto-cleanup...?) that is then getting synced back to Google Calendar (https://support.google.com/calendar/thread/8849196/my-calend..., https://www.makeuseof.com/events-deleted-automatically-googl...).

>If I need elevated privileges it's always a one-off job, which means I need a commandline anyway.

This is why polkit actions are the way they are, so you actually have a chance of being able to encode those one-off tasks into permissions for a GUI. It's not implemented for everything that requires root, and it probably won't ever be implemented for all of it but it's a lot better than it used to be. Part of it is improving because desktops like KDE made it easier to plug in new panels to the system settings, another part is that applications started using the higher level D-Bus APIs (like udisks2, timedated, networkmanager, etc) instead of trying to access the raw devices themselves.

>There's a bunch of influential people that are bent on making "Linux desktop" be something that competes effectively with Windows and MacOS. Setting aside that I don't think those are particularly desirable objectives in the first place, I simply don't see it happening. Despite their deficiencies, Windows and MacOS work better than Linux desktops.

I don't disagree with the last part here but, companies like Canonical exist and they get paid to ship this stuff. There are customers out there who want this, and they may very well be the ones paying some money or contributing maintenance towards keeping your browser and media player working on Linux. I don't know any overarching reason why these customers would deploy Linux instead of Windows, you would have to ask them.

>I realise that my usage pattern isn't universal; I was just correcting the claim that "all desktops use it". You only need one counterexample to refute such a claim.

Sorry but I don't think any usage of the terminal is a counterexample. That's just sidestepping the desktop, you could also do that from a VT with no GUI present.

HTTP actually has nothing to do with page titles. I think web browsers should probably display the titles verbatim, but there may be use cases where they don't, a common one being where there isn't enough space so the title is truncated in the UI.

As for what search engines should do with page titles, it's really up to the individual search engine, I'd say. Whatever serves their users best.
I did something less extreme than the piano test but still risky. I implemented the Bitcoin cryptography stack from scratch - prime field, elliptic curve addition, elliptic curve multiplication, Base58Check, ECDSA, RIPEMD-160, SHA-256. I added hundreds upon hundreds of test cases, and some parts were mathematically proven. Then I computed private keys, public addresses, and outgoing transactions using my own code, and processed a handful of transactions. If I made a mistake in the math or algorithms, I could have sent money to unspendable addresses, which would have resulted in thousands of dollars in losses - and remember that transactions are irreversible on the blockchain. That was the degree to which I trusted my code to do the right thing.
The medicine is not indicated to be given to serious cases. It is indicated for use as soon as possible, when you have your first symptom.

Apache with server side includes (SSI) will allow you to quickly and easily template websites without adding new tools or processes. I find this to be a decent balance between a static site and DRY. I don't care for most static site generators since I prefer to write my site content in HTML as much as possible.

For example, your index.html may look like:

<!-- #include virtual="/top.html" -->
<h1>My Website</h1>
<p>A bunch of content</p>
<!-- #include virtual="/bottom.html" -->

top.html could be something like:

<html>
<head>
<title>My Website</title>
<!--other header info -->
</head>
<body>

And for bottom.html:

<footer>
<!-- footer stuff -->
</footer>
</body>
</html>
Nope, if AirPods fit your ears they stay in.

You know what just works? Natural sounds from your environment. No need for equipment, no wires to snag, no pairing or plugging, you could even do it in your sleep. Oh, and it is zero emissions.

Courage, indeed.

And this is why I am not even typing this. I’m just imagining things, because it’s free and good for the environment.
Apple consumers don’t care about the environment, that’s why they buy products that need to be replaced yearly by choice or by design. So these arguments are lost on them.
If they're claiming 40gbps from 16x16, that means that a 2x2 or 3x3 wifi 7 device should be able to easily exceed 1gbps of real throughput.
Annoyance 1 - you can configure auto-connect per device. I have three computers and an iPhone that have been paired with my AirPods. I only have my iPhone configured to connect to my AirPods automatically.

Annoyance 2 - since you hear the "connect" tone when the AirPods connect to a device, my guess is the author's AirPods have connected to a device they are not looking at. This is what was happening to me before I realized the auto connection was configurable.

Annoyance 3 - this happens for my other Bluetooth headphones that have a microphone when using Mac OS as well. It's a Mac OS issue. I've noticed with a recent update that it happens less frequently. The fix is to set the audio output to the computer speakers, then back to the AirPods.

Annoyance 5 - yeah, switching takes time. Based on my experience with Bluetooth devices, I'm not sure how much this is AirPods specific. I ended up buying a pair of the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones because they can connect to two Bluetooth devices. This solved the switching delay, with the caveat that the mic on the WH-1000XM4 is not great so I also bought a cheap USB mic for meetings.
There is lots of good stuff in here. I have battled acedia on and off for my whole life, and am going through it right now. I like St. John Cassian’s teachings, personally, and always find when I am given the impulse to return to them, my acedia goes away. He prescribes prayer and manual labor (not exercise, go fix, plant, or build something with your hands!). If prayer is difficult or objectionable to you, you might find some form of mindfulness helpful.
