This is a long read, but is really insightful on how the industry really works. If you're a consistently winning bettor, you're going to get blocked pretty quickly when you're betting against the house. Why would a casino want to play a game where they don't have odds in their favor when they can just ban the sharps and feast on the casuals? With parimutuel wagering (horse racing, exchanges like BetFair-- there aren't major exchanges in the US, not enough margin for gambling lobby to go for yet) where you're wagering against other players, you won't get banned, since you're not consistently taking money from the house.
This is true with pihole. PiHole is one of my favorite pieces of software and true to this post opening a website off my home network can result in a horrible, ad-ridden experience. But installing PiHole seems to make a number of sites not work, or for example my devices stop updating because they can’t phone home the update server, and it’s difficult to describe to third parties how to address that. All good on my network, but it did take a little targeted whitelisting effort.
Haha that PS note is great. "Not only did we abuse you, we're going to tell everyone you loved us"
> this approach is moved to human trials where others have not, I can only conjecture.

Actually, a whole lot of recombinant approaches have moved to human trials (along with viral vector approaches). They early ones showed no efficacy; the newer ones we just don't know (yet).

The main benefit of mRNA is iteration: you can try a whole lot of different protein mixes and see what works best in an animal model. A secondary benefit is that the sustained churning out of proteins for a few days seems to generate a much broader antibody response, making getting some of those elusive bnAbs more likely.

A big problem with killed HIV vaccines and purified fragments of HIV is that growing virus in human immune cells is extraordinarily costly, and you really wouldn't want to have some live HIV leak through your purification process. So this is why we're mostly talking about other approaches to make proteins (viral vectors, recombinant DNA in bacteria and other cells, mRNA vaccines, etc)

For the most part agreed but should companies be able to use psychological tricks and techniques to get people using drugs, alcohol, and gamble?
Biden also inherited a year of misinformation by Trump telling people that the virus was unimportant. People who have taken the vaccine are largely protected -- not perfectly, but nobody ever promised you perfect. But it's very, very good, and the people dying are largely those who are unvaccinated, or infected by those who were. (Despite BS to the contrary, breakthrough cases go away much faster than cases in the unvaccinated, and so they have less time to spread it.)

There's no hypocrisy, just accurately reporting the facts. They could blame Biden for failing to convince people who still buy into Trump's anti-vaccine rhetoric -- despite weak protestations to the contrary, he has spent two years downplaying the vaccine and playing up the choice not to get it.

I wouldn't object to them calling that out, but it's not hypocrisy for them to not do it. "Couldn't force people to do it" just isn't in the bounds of his office -- nobody could do it.
Original title: 'Intel can't even grow profits during a global chip shortage – where did it all go wrong?' (too long)
No… they have documented evidence that the company noted discrepancies between his interview and subsequent comments. Nothing there states that this was a problem; it’s a diff.

Besides, he quit.
Yep, I had a weird experience at a friends house when his smart TV youtube was playing ads every few minutes, while I was trying to listen to the Dead. Really killed my vibe maan. Apparently it's the uploader's fault for choosing to monetise.

I cannot tolerate ads at all now. Part of my issue with them is that you have no control over what you are being shown, obviously. It's the same problem with all the new social media platforms, in general. Anything can popup. And once you've seen something, to cant unsee it.
Regarding your second point, isn’t HIV a preventable disease? In the areas where the prevalence is in double digits, people don’t seem to be using condoms or taking other precautions. Why would they be taking vaccine every year?
1k on 3k wagered sounds pretty suspicious. Also, the regularity you imply makes it even more suspicious. How did this program work?
Seems like it is much harder to get drugs in Singapore than in Seattle. Prohibition might not be absolute, but it seems effective at reducing the number of people using drugs. Is that a good or bad policy goal, and is it worth the costs? That a political question, but the answer to that is separate from whether prohibition works or not.

> But I want buttons and knobs for everything I use while driving.

My Subaru Impreza has a physical power/volume knob but it won't do anything when you start the car and then shift to reverse (to back out of the garage). It's like it's dedicating its resources to the rear view camera and doesn't have any cycles to handle the input events on the control knob. Also it decides to turn on the radio even if you weren't using the radio when you turned off the car. So, you have to listen to the radio blasting (at whatever the volume was when I got there, which might have been different media with lower volume such as a podcast) while you back up (might be a good time to be able to hear instead) until a few seconds after you shift to D. At that point, it processes the queued up inputs from the knob and will suddenly turn down or off depending on the inputs.

I would prefer it to be a variable (logarithmic, because that's how audio perception works) resistor directly controlling the amplifier or whatever, like radios used to be.

I love adaptive cruise. I use it 90%+ of the time. But this is also one more reason that I hate cars and will probably sell it soon. But I'll still have to deal with similar issues if I rent a ZipCar or something.

It falls into a larger category I've been thinking about a lot lately about how a lot of problems with technology these days is due to the difference in how the desires of software creators and those of users diverges and creates those problems. I'm leaning towards suggesting that everyone needs to write their own software, using shared knowledge, not just use software that other people wrote for you.
Aside from the manipulative and downright unproductive type of economy we are left with, how much energy (in terms of Wh) is wasted by video ads? Energy doesn’t lie, even if a publisher can seemingly offset their costs with a CDN. The real trouble is that energy pricing is not correlated with total cost of production in most countries. Could energy pricing that accounted for pollution, resource depletion as well as the production cost itself, help us as a species in removing such counterproductive businesses?
"eager to learn, sense of ownership"

Well, that disqualifies me. The way most organizations tie your hands means one is given all the responsibility without real authority. I'm completely unmotivated because of that.

There are laws against employer retaliation. If that employer never asked him prior and he never lied, what crime was committed? The employer failed to do their due diligence. As others have said, it's VERY common to request assistance in drafting resumes/emails/letters when pursuing employment.
For this exact reason I think we're going to see a lot more development of DE-specific tiling window management solutions, like Pop Shell, PaperWM, Material Shell, etc., are doing for Gnome. They all just leverage the Gnome Shell extension system, but are inextricably dependent on Gnome.
fair point but if you only push what's changed, isn't it lazy ?
ACC and LKAS on our 2019 Honda is so awful I simply can't use it.

When someone crosses 3 lanes in front of me ACC will hit the brakes hard to maintain the correct distance. It's jolting and scary.

LKAS only sees about 80% of the lanes. Rather than just driving like normal which I'm experienced with I have to sit there paranoid that something will go wrong and I'll need to react to a surprise event.

I don't know if it's the idea or the just the implementation that I hate. Am considering comma.ai

>And secondly, unfortunately, these animals were traditionally hunted, and so they use these houses as a form of protection from humans.

Based on these incredible photos, I imagine the polar bear meeting went something like, "Look folks, these humans have been hunting us for years. Nothing we've done to try to run away or fight back has worked. I've got an idea that's maybe just crazy enough to work. What if... now hear me out... what if we just try to blend in? I know, I know. It sounds crazy, we're polar bear how are we supposed to blend in with these humans? Well... what if we just nonchalantly move into some of their buildings and hangout all human-like? 'When in Rome' and all that. What have we got to lose? So, what do you say? Can I get a show of paws?"
The proof is in a couple of places, although I will point out that all conventional electronic signature services suffer from similar issues.

First, yes, it's on our servers. But crucially, all parties also receive a copy of the fully executed contract via email once it's signed. So even if Magistrate were to someday disappear, the timestamped email in your inbox serves as evidence of the contract -- assuming your email provider doesn't go out of business as well.

There may be other ways of dealing with the "are you in business in 5 years" problem that we plan to explore as well.
If you work with graphs I can wholeheartedly recommend plotly/dash. It has a very intuitive API. And you can build a single page app dashboard with interactive graphs and buttons, sliders etc. in a few hours.

It is based on Flask.

If you just want API and no frontend, have a look at FastAPI.
It’s hot tech, maybe driven by the desire to pump share prices.

Shots were not forced on staff. There was informed consent, and staff were allowed to quit their jobs in lieu of getting the shot. The card is asking for informed consent. It is not a flat refusal to being weighed. Patients are exposed to a lot of misinformation, and that needs to be addressed by healthcare professionals. It is unfortunate, but that's the world we live in. For all the play that vaccine hesitancy gets on HN, it's really interesting how ferociously people have responded to a different treatment hesitancy.
What will be the long term consequences of majority of us using AdBlocks? And who will fill the void when running a website is economically unfeasible?

YouTube ads are freaking annoying. But I know that the creators of those channels I watch depend on those to make a decent living and overwhelming majority of them are not rich.

> This is interesting because improved weight management would probably the HIGHEST medical impact intervention for tons and tons of people, both in quality of life and disease / illness.

Yeah, and if I know I'm going to get a lecture about my weight that I've already heard, I'm going to put off going to the doctor.

What is the difference in outcomes from going to the doctor timely vs waiting 3 months?

Also, consider that the medical industry does a pretty bad job of adapting to the bodies people have, and all of the downstream data that drives. For example, you need a proper size blood pressure cuff to get an accurate measurement, but the larger and smaller than 'regular' cuffs are usually not immediately available, so medical staff just tries to wing it when presented with a larger or smaller arm.
I think overall you're right but I suspect the proliferation of luxury electronic features has subjected higher class slices of the population to more failures than they saw before. In 2004 these people bought Camrys and drove them uneventfully. The base car hasn't changed but now that car has half a dozen switches and motors in both front seats the failure of any one of which requires it to be fixed. If the lever in your '04 was finicky you just pulled/pushed slightly harder and were not the wiser.

I think Google dropped the ball on their search objectives in this department. Why is it so bad at helping us search products? If I specify something with 2-3 conditionals why can't it match all the clauses, filter out fake reviews, out of stock, not shipped to my region and such?

They don't want to help us find what we want to buy, they want to sell us what the advertisers have to sell, and the two don't match. They want to sell us things we don't need, this is the reason we never buy anything from the ads and their whole industry is a scam.
However most of the inflation that happened to the GBP between 1750 and 2022 happened in the last 100 years. £100 in 1750 was worth £400 in 1922 and £24000 in 2022. That's 4x in 172 years vs 60x in only 100 years.
If there's less spread of any given variant (because of vaccines), you indirectly decrease the chance of mutation no? A virus doesn't mutate outside a host.
It'd be great if the bridge was an option for the free accounts. But maybe I'm asking too much.
Thanks for the breaks analogy, it’s one I intend on using when talking to people I. The real world. It’s a good one given how basically everyone has either dealt with or understands this basic yet essential car maintenance issue and the nature of the appropriate response.
Interesting question.

I think it boils down to the fact that the ads are delivered with the content. You can just choose to not look at the ads, right? This is the same principle that the ad blockers work on.

To get around that, Another way to do it is to deliver the ads first, have the browser attest the ads were played and then serve the content. The problem is the end user can always modify what you serve them. Getting the browser to attest to something like that is very hard if not impossible.

There's no good way to do it. The advertisers will always be playing a game of cat and mouse. They take what they can get, because that's all they can do.
An AlphaZero type AI for Civ is my absolute dream. A huge problem in these sorts of games is that developers have the computer players cheat to artificially raise the difficulty to compensate for the poor skill and decision making of the AI.
you'd rather the long term effects of HIV?

What a bizzarely banal thing to post.
Well, yes I am. But is that relevant to the question at hand: if the punishments were more severe, would they decrease drug selling/use?

How about if we banned Narcan, do you think that would affect the total number of opiate addicts long term?

What if we cut off the hands of drug dealers? Or applied the death penalty to drug dealers?

What if we rounded up all the addicts that commit so many crimes in cities today, and degrade the quality of life with tent cities strewn everywhere, and threw them all into the ocean...do you think that would decrease drug use?

Of course it would. What I'm pushing back against is the absurd claim that the problem is intractable in terms of "decreasing some behavior through disincentivization", which isn't true.

That's news to me. I have always assumed the resumes I have been reading were written by the applicants themselves. I guess I was wrong.
Hm, so it appears. I'll remove said link, though I do think it's a little sad considering this is where I found it from.
An offer like that would seem incredibly suspicious to me. You want to pay all of this money to train me right out of school? Why not just hire someone with the right experience? Maybe it's my imposter syndrome speaking but it all feels off. I'm passively looking for new jobs but I always keep my eye out for things that sound too good to be true. If I'm not paying for training or education, then someone else is footing the bill and it's important to consider why. Is this new training making me more productive or is it just to solely make the company more money because they can now claim I'm an expert? I wouldn't want to be oversold to customers as an expert on something I just learned about just as much as I wouldn't want to be placed in a junior role for something I'm really good at.

If Terence Tao posted on his blog tomorrow that he has video proof that Hillary Clinton is a secret lizard person, I would certainly be shocked, and I might even read what he has to say, but I would still immediately classify him as a nutty conspiracy theorist (one who espouses a nutty conspiracy theory). It wouldn't really diminish everything else he's done, and I would view it as an incredibly sad case of an otherwise amazing brain getting infected by a particularly virulent mind-virus.

Say Joe Rogan split his segment into two halves, and the first half was devoted to someone arguing that the 14th century was invented by the Illuminati in order to hide the fact that Finland doesn't really exist and is just a cover to hide the fact that Russian fishermen discovered aliens there, who took their bodies and are now infiltrating society, etc. etc. The second half was devoted to an actual historian saying "um, no, that's really ridiculous for many reasons". Would you call that fair and balanced? Is that a good point-counterpoint? Hell no. It's the classic false equivalency, fake-centrist B.S. that is used so often to promote crazy and dangerous ideas.

Yes but NewPipe is a completely from-scratch implementation and has some unique features like 3x speed or downloading videos and audio. The NewPipe UI is not as good however, so it depends on what tradeoffs you want to make.
I recently went through a round of interviews for a job where strong communication skills are vital. One interview was just me responding to simulated emails in a shared google doc so the interviewer could see me work through the responses. In addition to witnessing my real time edits, I guess they also had the benefit of a higher level of confidence that the product was my actual work effort.
Similar thing here but with an alarm tone. The tone I used to get when paged while previously working for a FAANG seems to also be used for some function at a grocery store I frequent. So my BPM does the same jump every time I hear it.

I wonder if we'll see HSV also addressed by this new wave of mRNA vaccines, or if it's just not top of mind for companies and researchers due to its "mostly benign" nature. At least until one's immune system starts to weaken with advanced age and it starts to cause all sorts of problems, but perhaps by then it gets swept under the "problems of aging" rug.
I pay for plenty of subscription streaming services “ad free tier”. I buy in app purchases to remove ads. Back when I use to buy Windows PCs, I either bought from the MS store or business laptops to avoid adware.

If I were to ever buy an Android phone (I wouldn’t because Google). It would be a Google device.

I also pay more for an AppleTV than a Roku because half of the Roku screen and the hard coded buttons on the remote are ads.
