> This is a really good article on the immune system.

I still don't particularly like it that much.

None of this should be all that new.

There were plenty of knowledgeable people saying all along that sterilizing nutralizing immunity in the mucosa was unlikely to be achievable for a vaccine against a respiratory virus that most commonly had no viremic phase, particularly as a shot given in the arm.

They were also saying that T-cells were the important thing to prevent disease and death and we shouldn't be focusing on preventing infection.

Some other people who debated or disagreed with that perspective are now suddenly learning novel new things about the immune system. There's a good chunk of experts out there that were saying this all along though (if you were listening to them and not the headlines and blogs and twitter).
You're going to need to figure out what trades you want to do and what ones you'll need/want to hire out. Volunteer to work on other people's projects for free (or beer) to see what you enjoy working on. For example, Habitat for Humanity and other home building charities often need bodies and can be a good way to sample different aspects of a build.

Then, start small and try your hand at something simple like a shed. Once you've shelled out for all of the tools you'll need to build a shed, you're well on your way to the investment in tools you'll need to build a home and can decide from there whether to proceed.
Hard disagree. I mean, it's only one tiny part of the game, but sound design is a big part of what makes weapons feel 'chunky' or powerful or satisfying, and it sounds like this is similar. With the other part being that the distinct sound is useful from a gameplay transparency perspective, it means players are very aware when their shots land or not.

I played a lot of Overwatch for a while, and it had some similar sound design IIRC.

That logic always seems to fall apart for me. Of course words have had different non-problematic uses over time, before and after a problematic usage. But that doesn't negate the fact that it does and did have a problematic usage.

White people who want the ability to say the n-word often use a similar argument. ("It's only problematic [when/if]...") .
>Isn't enforcement of laws how we're supposed to make people not break the law?

It is the method of last resort, really. Ideally, people have enough success in their life that they do not have to resort to crime. If that fails we have some other protections: we lock our doors, etc. Lastly, if people still commit crime we try to prosecute them

Bit of a shitshow of authorities for any given piece of road but generally speaking it's the city streets and town-level jurisdictions that get restrictive moreso than interstates and major highways.

There is also the weight factor - even if you could legally have 90ft trailers and 25ft cabs, it would probably put you over the weight limit for many roadways and negate the savings.
This but also the _first_ 0-200 km. Many manufacturers (especially small and medium size) are located far away from major rail networks.

I believe it will. This is not a rejection of right to repair. Farmers with tractors they cannot fix and electronics in landfills outweigh the cost to business, but it is troublesome. A patent industry paradigm shift must happen, perhaps shifting the burden to pay to Amazon, Walmart and other retailers when they sell knock offs which violate patents.
That was the first I've found.

Have you lived in these? I have and they are terrible places to live in. Parking spaces are ridiculously under planned, because workers used took a bus, but today most families own at least one car. These buildings are near their end of life since they weren't designed to last.

They are rather depressing to look at, but that's just me.

Soundproofing doesn't exists, moving walls is limited, inner height is claustrophobic.

I don't recommend to look up to these as any good. Maybe something to learn from.
Except they used their home-grown killed-virus vaccine. It worked about as well as you would expect a killed-virus coronavirus vaccine to work--not worth much against the variants.

I created a Facebook account almost 10 years ago when I was at school. I keep my account because it is the only social network my old friends and family use. I like to see how they are doing. Some of them got married, some of them have children, some of them even moved to other countries. I can learn that quickly by just scrolling down the feed. They can keep my data if they want, since I don't pay a subscription. It is a good trade-off for me.
Well, when there's a mistake found in a proof, the mistake needs to be rectified before the proof can be accepted. There have certainly been proofs that X is true, where X has turned out not to be true based on the fact that there's a mistake in the logic.

While it's possible a mistake won't be found, it's a much different problem than running empirical experiments and getting different results.

Using a shared iPad with a family is a bad experience with all kinds of Apple account issues. Other apps Netflix/Amazon/etc. thankfully provide quick user switching which makes it tolerable.
So which places are you talking about so I know what I can agree or disagree with?

This whole thing seems like continuum fallacy [1]. Just like everything we must all agree on a cutoff because the real world doesn't have neat black and white thresholds, covid is different from the flu that much is obvious and reaches my threshold for requiring vaccination / testing mandates at least in its current form. Do agree that a disease can be deadly enough to require it? If so what is your threshold before the mandate should be allowed?

I am willing to discuss what metrics would help come to consensus as a society, buts its not like requiring vaccines or other preventative measures for certain activities is some foreign concept.

> You know that developers will end up using alternate App Stores

This keeps being stated as though it’s a foregone conclusion. All evidence points to the contrary. Look at Google Play. Android has allowed third-party stores since inception and yet the only stores that see any notable use are the ones that ship on devices, i.e. Google Play and to a much smaller extent OEM stores (at least in the English market).

So no, it is not likely that you will have to install another store. Just like most Android users only ever touch the Play Store most iOS users will only ever touch the App Store.

The only notable stores I expect to see from this are an Epic Games store that basically just has Fortnite on it, and some community-driven F-Droid-like.
I also have more than a decade of experience with satellite internet, and geostationary satellites in particular. Nobody has ever said starlink will be technically impossible; the arguments from the start have been that it is not financially solvent. Temporary VC money obviously doesn't tell us whether they're going to be profitable, but I haven't seen any real analysis that shows they have anywhere near the number of subs they need to become profitable. And increasing the subs will surely decrease the quality of the service, because that's always what these satellite companies do.

The fact that they just released a more expensive terminal to me means that they are trying to tackle the enterprise market where the cost per bit is significantly higher than with consumers, and those users will for sure get priority over consumers. It also means they are losing money too fast and they needed to at least have a solution that will potentially have higher returns in the short-term.

I agree the tech works great for what it is, but I also don't think it's been out anywhere near long enough for people to make judgements about how well it works. I don't think we will have enough longevity data on the terminal for at least a couple more years, so it's not clear if performance will degrade or if the motor will seize due to whether.

I think the users that got in now are having a great honeymoon period, but I don't think this will last, and we should not be comparing it to existing, mature services.
Note that this is a consumer discernment issue that has nothing to do with the medium being used.

The key takeaway is that there is demand for officially launched or licensed branded releases in that medium.
I think about 10-15M. It allows you to have all the nice things that are fun to have: sports car, boat, nice house, lots of travelling and etc. At the same time it's not the amount where things get complicated very quickly. Sure, having 500M is nice but then it also becomes a hassle on its own on how to retain it and etc.

Sounds like a stop-gap measure, partially because building codes in the region didn't let them do what they really wanted to do:

> These are two areas where the BC building code, BC Hydro, and the construction industry lag behind more environmentally progressive regions. It’s our hope that as the technology and standards improve we’ll be able to eliminate propane from the mix and use a fully electric power base, much of it captured on site from our 11.6 kW array.
I still end up with one more app store to deal with. Unless this 3rd party becomes a de-facto monopoly, there's no way you could afford to leave money on the table by not also dealing with Apple and Google.
> non-tenure-track research assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania. But she was demoted in 1995 because, no matter how many times she applied for NIH funding for her mRNA research, she never got a grant for it.

The author is misguided if this is consider to be 'discussed in hushed tones as a cautionary tale for young scientists'. There are a myriad of applications for NIH funding and vast majority are rejected, repeatedly. It is unnecessary to embellish to make the next point.

> Yet she persisted.

This is indeed, the minority of 'non-tenure-track research assistant professor', most will get discouraged and drop out.

Mainly because we are talking about NOx and other Health related emmissions that have local effects not CO2 that have global effects. Yes it sucks about the countries where they end up but it's the responability of the local governments to care what level is acceptable and what not. And often governments have to balance the need to stimulate local economy (by affording to buy cheaper used machines) vs the public health concerns.

Yes, even as a stream. The author mentions that a streaming conversion of mp4 to mp3 would be very difficult/impossible. I actually built that exact system for a simple youtube->mp3 downloader. FFMpeg can perform a streaming mp4->mp3 conversion. See here: https://github.com/matttt/youtubesampler/blob/master/main.js...
Stocks fall as Facebook parent company Meta plummets 26%
I angrily dismiss it. It's a nonverifiable bullshit excuse to avoid a needle prick. Tests have some error, it's unclear if you got a sufficient dose, spaced exposures are better, the vaccine has shown better variant resilience, choose your reasons. If you haven't gotten a vaccine, I don't care if you've had COVID or not. Either way you should get a shot.

It might be different if there were any cost to it. But there isn't. So invariably the people bitching about natural immunity are just doing it to make a point, usually political.
(Some lessons learned the hard way from struggling w/ DBpedia, Freebase, WikiData and every other way to suck data out of Wikipedia.)

Reading the Wikipedia markup directly is a rabbit hole. It is macros on top of macros and you find that with 20 rules you can extract 80% of the data, with 200 rules you can extract 90% of data, with 2000 rules 95%, ...

Try parsing the HTML and you sometimes get 99.5% of the data with 5 rules.

The reason the HTML rules is that the feedback loop closes on the HTML output. If the HTML output doesn't look right, editors will fix the markup to make the HTML markup look right. There is no pressure to conform (say automated unit tests) markup that your parser will parse.
every single examination of driving a car I see lists deprecation, it's always the highest cost on the list... and the most easily avoidable by buying used. which a lot of people do. (not to mention, deprecation is super weird right now and people are reselling their cars back to the dealer for a profit.)

not taking that into account makes me wonder what else they aren't taking into account.
It is somewhat rare but not entirely unheard of for carriers to have agreements with the major streaming providers, and so in some cases the streaming provider will actually aid in the process. Most of the time, however, this isn't needed because what's actually happening is limiting bandwidth, not resolution, but there is a very strong correlation between the two, so by limiting bandwidth you end up with the desired effect of limiting resolution.

These days most streaming providers use some form of adaptive streaming in which client-side logic decides to get bigger or smaller "chunks" of video based on how quickly prior chunks downloaded. A rudimentary solution for a carrier would be to simply implement logic like, "if throughput to device X > someLimit, add a delay in delivering packets to device X". From the client's perspective, getting the bigger (and higher quality) video chunks will take too long, so it will naturally shift to the smaller (and lower quality) chunks.
> those weren't grants, they were loans and investments

Those loans and investments weren't guaranteed to be paid back, the government took a risk.

Assuming risk of loss is a valuable thing that gets traded all the time through futures, options, swaps and other derivatives. Those futures, options and swaps have a cost.

The fact that the government gave away that value for free means it was a massive gift to Wall Street banks.
We really need to consider as a society whether or not our 'cult of productivity' is actually very beneficial.
Not an employment lawyer but I agree. You really don't want anything that could cause issues at this point and even if there is a 99% chance this wont... It would be really unfortunate for the 1% to happen. Especially since only 3/4th of the process is finished.

Purchasing power is a function of a whole ton of things, including supply chains. If goods require more inputs or are less efficient to produce that will increase their price. This in turn decreases the relative purchasing power of a dollar. This can happen due to all sorts of externalities, for instance a tax. Or it can go down due to efficiencies in manufacturing technology or biotech. Or, a massive global pandemic leading to supply chain disruptions can cause prices to go up. Or housing can become more expensive because of zoning rules.

The "supply of currency units" is a fundamentally inadequate measure to capture this. It is too simplistic. Nobody takes it seriously except for a small group of very vocal online crackpots because it is so obviously unfit for purpose. [1]

I think you're underestimating just how much some people like dark mode; people have been clamoring for it for a long time. Be it for aesthetics, for power saving on OLED screens (a big factor that drove early per-app toggles on Android), and for comfort if light UIs are painful. Once it became a common system-wide option and developers didn't have to create inconsistent per-application toggles, it was a feature that users expected everywhere.

2016-08-08: Windows 10 Anniversary update includes system-wide dark mode option.

2018-06-04: W3C issue created for light/dark mode via CSS: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/2735

2018-09-24: MacOS 10.14 (Mojave) includes system-wide dark mode option. Safari tech preview adds the CSS media query `prefers-color-scheme`.

2019: All major browsers implement `prefers-color-scheme`.

Et voilà, dark mode everywhere.

Personally, I'm more interested in high-contrast modes. (Available in CSS via the experimental but widely implemented `prefers-contrast` media query. Web devs, support it today! Make life easier for those of us who struggle when forced to stray from good ol' #FFFFFF and #000000.)
I really don't understand the obsession with 40 hours. It's totally arbitrary, especially for knowledge workers.

On my contracts I've been taking lately I work 32 hours. It has done absolute wonders for my health. And I have no real proof, but I feel like I get just as much done. In some ways I may even get more done because having 3 days off every week makes me a lot fresher overall.
Yes and no. I see your point on one hand. Hackers mint 120k wETH. Bridge guarantees 1 wETH = 1 ETH. Therefore, hacker transfers 120k ETH to their Ethereum account. They can then sell this for approximately $320 M not to Wormhole or Jump Trading, but to the market who will collectively pay $320 M hypothetically (of course, slippage is a thing).

But, on the other hand, since Jump restored 120k wETH (valued at $320 M), they kind of are “out” that money in the sense that they would not have spent that without the hack. They are now forced into an “investment” of 120k wETH. They may profit from their investment if the price of the asset rises, but they may also lose some of their investment if the price decreases. Likely, it won’t fall to 0 so they are not “out” $320 M in the sense that the hackers directly stole that, but they essentially forced to trade $320 M for 120k wETH.

I don’t see how the public is screwed here. There is no “inflation.” They essentially increased the backing assets of the bridge by 120k wETH at current ETH market price.
re:FOSS music players I liked foobar2000 for music, esp. if you wanted to play lossless formats like FLAC files

re:parent comment, i feel like the streaming "free" music app/services are more iterations on radio stations rather than iterations on music players since radio has ads, pseudo random playlists, requirement to be "connected" etc.

Maybe unpopular opinion, but in comparison w/radio, I tend to think streaming actually looks pretty good.
No? Are we in an influenza pandemic or epidemic right now? Again, we're talking about events here.

There have been six of them in the last 140 years with respect to influenza. The Spanish Flu pandemic killed 675k (in the USA, like 50 mil worldwide or something wild like that.)
In my experience, just adding politeness to a contrarian comment avoids the downvotes.

I had some downvoted comments but I think it never happened when I was politely disagreeing before making my point.

I think people (and I include myself) are more easily "triggerable" nowadays.

I also think we can fix this by taking the habit to write like we are attacking the point and not the person.

One easy way to do this is to overuse the "I" subject, even if it is to write and not just throw your facts. There is no real difference between « you are wrong because » and « I think you missed [that point] because » but the later is, automatically, more respectful.
Haven't done H porting myself (went L1 -> GC), but the time to process for i539+i765 for L2 was 14 months in 2020-2021, which put my spouse on forced unpaid leave for ~8 months. Green card processing times estimates were also insane, so I surmised porting would be affected as well. Glad that it wasn't.
