Nonsense. Broadcast TV and radio are the same. I use a TiVo for broadcast TV and use the skip ads function.
Okay, after reading the other comments, as well as yours, I know what's missing: escalation to small claims court.
my dad has been trading his truck in every few years for as long as I've been alive. every time he would get new bells and whistles to play around with and it made him happy. his last truck trade-in, two years ago, was miserable. the new Ford truck had all kinds of shit he'd never use like a wi-fi hotspot and such, but with all these new doodads came more points of failure—he took it to the shop to get something fixed multiple times per week for a few weeks before selling the truck and getting a more simple & reliable SUV instead.

people want fancy bells & whistles in their vehicles right up until it makes them a maintenance nightmare—you want your car to just work, like they largely used to.
My 1999 Honda CR-V I bought in college still runs and I love the simplicity of the interface. Air controls are a three evenly spaced knobs and a few buttons. The instrument cluster has everything you need with easy to read physical gauges (though I do wish it had battery voltage like my 92 Jeep did). The interface has aged super well because of its simplicity -- it doesn't feel outdated.

I replaced the stereo with the cheapest CarPlay unit I can find for navigation, phone charging, and media playback. I love this too since my only screen-based ui in the car gets updates with every new iOS.

The punishments for drugs are pretty severe in much of the US (multiple years in prison). Are you advocating for even harsher punishments than that?

How can Doom get in your way, when you can simply remove entire modules and/or specific packages with ease? And even if I keep those packages, I can simply change anything I want by just putting the setting in my init with "use-package!"?

I never had this problem, I have been using Doom for two years, and Emacs without Doom for years before that.
This is not a software developer problem, this is a socially awkward dude problem.

You go to places for socially awkward people and are astonished to meet socially awkward people. Woah, who would have thought.

Yes, your peers are changing diapers. But here's a brilliant idea - you are a man and women love older men with resources. Go to places where these younger women are and you will solve your problem.

What will not solve your problem is yapping about it on hackernews, because as you may have guessed, young women are not known to hang out at hackernews.
Then they are charging their buyers 30k to beta test, and leaving buyers with no other option, which, I don't think most people are comfortable with. I think it's easily identifiable to the HN crowd, because most readers are very familiar with this process and the discomfort it can cause.

Then you add on the argument of what they are doing with the information, and if they can be trusted..
If you have a corporate laptop of ours I can log into the security dashboard and see the 15th command you issued in the terminal on December 12th, which processes it spawned, which files it accessed, which servers it reached out to... and this is with standard AV software. We're not even set up for worker monitoring (nor do we have interest, our mandate is on the security side not the HR side) but I could probably piece together a decently solid idea if he was pulling up outside messages or pulling in completed work from an outside system even without such additional worker monitoring tools.
Do wrongful termination cases like this ever come up when obvious fraud is involved from the get-go for a remote position?

Resume fraud happens all the time with fudged degrees and job titles and positions. Usually when corporate HR finds out termination is immediate.
Counter argument, we knew far less about the virus then and didn't have a vaccine. Biden inherited a vaccine and a year of knowledge about the virus and we still had more deaths under him than under Trump.

Now, I don't blame Biden. I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy in the media with how they decide to dole out blame. It's so biased that they have lost credibility. That's a problem.
This is good idea. Will investigate how to pipe data and display a progress bar at the same time.
I definitely don't have any knowledge on the topic. Here are my crackpot opinions:

1) Maybe many or most infected have a single strain each, and a targeted vaccine to each's strain could work as a treatment, similarly to the tetanus and rabies vaccines. Even if not a full cure, could be a way to halt the disease progression with lower cost and side effects than the current treatments available.

2) HIV spreads relatively slowly, so maybe flu-style annual vaccinations to at-risk groups for hot strains could be enough to actually revert the epidemic over decades.
My (professional) written communication is a strong point for me. What kind of job has mostly sending emails as the work?

Ask HN: Help in finding (again) a StackOverflow link :)
A bit of an odd request, but I have weird Android issue with an autolinked TextView and came a couple of months ago across a (I believe) StackOverflow discussion where that precise issue was discussed. While I am not sure there was a definitive fix, it was at least being discussed. Unfortunately, regardless of which search terms I use, I can't find it any more.

The issue is when you have more than one autolinked TextView with different links, only every odd "click" will open the actual link. Every even "click" will open the previously opened URL. I click TextView A and go to example.com. Then TextView B for cern.ch, but instead it still goes to example.com. Only when I click TextView B again, it goes to the actual URL.

It almost seems the StackOverflow posting disappeared or I simply don't remember what I search for :)

…or it totally could, if it primes T-cells to fully clear the infection, or keep it to such a low level that the viral load is minimized.

HIV has a tremendous latency period. It lurks for a long time before symptom onset. If a vaccine doesn't provide sterilizing immunity, but does prime T-lymphocytes to clear the virus, or keep it to an extremely low viral load, it would make people substantially less likely to spread the virus, or have symptomatic progression to AIDS.

This is, of course, easier said than done.

While the statistics for alcohol consumption may not be as drastic as gambling, a large percentage (>20%) of alcohol revenue comes from heavy drinking. Here's a study from the UK.

Also, what makes you think alcohol vendors don't want addicts? My impression is that while they don't actively promote alcoholism, they mostly don't care.

Ah, thanks. Damn you autocorrect.
Ads may be painful, but they are also insidious. That’s why they work. I avoid ads not because they’re painful (although most are), but because I simply don’t want to be influenced by whoever paid the most money to influence me.
Car brakes are also ineffective because they don't prevent 100% of collisions, huh?
The reason I use an ad blocker and noscript is because focused reading is impossible without these countermeasures. It's as if they don't want me to read and pay attention what they wrote.

2. My big annoyance is the weight on the CPU and battery. I have this sick pleasure from opening the network tab and seeing hundreds of requests filling my machine with garbage. :)
3. I often disable JavaScript temporarily with a hotkey - in macOS, you can map this action to any combination. This works incredibly well. Once I am done with the page, I re-enable it with a single keystroke. I only wish Safari did this just for the current page and not the entire browser.
FM has mostly been replaced by DAB where I live. But that is not the point. The point is that the industry is incapable of making a simple and good DAB radio. As the only (afaik) country in the world who have transitioned to DAB, there are little incentive for radio manufacturers to create decent radios.

> are you mainly into text

Not at all. :) Well, I'm interested in text, just not just text, but consider myself a visual person.

I should have elaborated, but I am in general just not a fan of photos capturing moments. Whether staged or not, I feel photos are generally just not interesting and don't capture what's "real", so to speak. They capture this one frame of time that really isn't experienced by us in the way it's presented, and so I personally have a hard time finding it interesting or relatable. I highly prefer motion pictures (videos, films, etc.). A particular example that comes to mind is the tank man in the famous Tiananmen Square photo. The video is so much more powerful and meaningful to me. (However in this case, maybe my point is diluted because that photo is indeed a rather powerful one.)

There's a Portlandia skit that also captures a part of what I mean, where Fred and a girlfriend go on this European vacation that was miserable, nothing happened, and they ended up breaking up, but their pictures on Instagram (or something) looked amazing and seemed to capture the time of their life.

Another example are photographs of James Turrell's work. While photographs are indeed interesting, they simply do not capture what it's like to experience his works in person. I do like manipulated photographs though, such as the "drone painting" by Reuben Wu (https://www.instagram.com/itsreuben/).

I think photography kind of stands in this uninteresting arena (for me!) between other static art (e.g., paintings, computer-generated art, etc.) and motion art. Also, it seems everyone and their dog is a photographer now, so that can be a bit of a turn off as well, for better or worse on my part.

Then again, I probably contradict myself on this stance from time to time.

So you think for other vaccine you know the "long term effects"

What you define as "long term"? Because in my definition, in the "long term" we're all dead.

The "long term" effects of many pathologies is also death for example.

Three things:

- This isn't really the reason why mRNA is attractive here (see my other comment above). (Though, ability to iterate/try many protein combinations quickly in animal models was helpful).

- Almost no drugs or treatments do we really know the long term picture of. Running studies in a way that lets you detect effects far later in life isn't practical.

- When we're talking about treatments to prevent severe disease, bounding the consequences to be very, very likely to be well below the consequences of the virus times the likely infection chance is "good enough".
Hubs itself seems a bit abandoned for ~1y. They laid off a large number of folks related to it back in 2020
From my understanding, the effectiveness of the vaccine is measured by monitoring - in the real world - how many vaccinated people of a group catches the virus compared with how many unvaccinated did: how would it work in this case? I guess it would just take a lot of years to come up with a good approximation.
> In the US in May of 2018, a federal law went into effect saying all new cars require a backup camera.

This law actually says that if a car can't meet a prescribed rear visibility threshold it needs a backup camera. Instead of make safer designs manufacturers just install cameras.

But I don't disagree manufacturers are using screens as an excuse to add superfluous bullshit they'll then use for data mining. See USC 2342 Unintended Consequences, Law of.

My favorite part of backup camera is manufacturers that put a warning overlay on the video telling you to watch your surroundings. An overlay that eats up some significant percentage of the screen occulting potential hazards you might otherwise see. I for one can't wait for the backup camera to display ads in the lower third. If they take up enough space manufacturers could make a mint selling personal injury and insurance ads.
One doesn't have to be pro-government to recognize that Joe Rogan is acting in extremely bad faith. He has a lucrative financial agreement that incentivizes him to drive viewership - he's not promoting open dialogue, he's promoting topics and guests that will attract polemics to drive ratings.
Right! If this "dumb car" aesthetic is really such a hit, then there are a lot of cars from the 90's that are ready to buy and plenty of shops that are eager to overhaul your old clunker into a hot new legendary UI of a car!

Of course, it isn't a hit. The fact is most people want smart cars.
It's surprising how the lazy node graph thing is spreading. I find it a superb model for most things (and, broken record moment: sidefx houdini or alias maya can show you how far one can go in this model. hint: james webb far).
I am not overweight, but I can understand this. I don't entirely agree with it.

If you want to stick with something objective: if your biggest association with going to see a doctor is being made to feel like crap about your weight, then you will see your doctor less.

I already avoid going to the doctor more than I should, and that's mostly based on inconvenience. If it were a miserable experience, then I know I would procrastinate even more aggressively.

But setting that aside, I think there are a number of reasons why this could make some amount of sense. Doctors do over-focus on weight, not bothering to look for any specific causes because they've supposedly already figured out the problem. Which means the patient leaves with an instruction to lose weight, they don't, and nothing changes. And being fat isn't as highly correlated with health outcomes as people—including doctors—assume. There are plenty of healthy fat people and unhealthy thin people.

There are many other legitimate reasons to control how your doctor approaches an issue. You may have tried the common fixes and know that trying slight variations is unlikely to be fruitful. You are an expert on your own body, with massive gaps when it comes to medical knowledge and details. Your doctor is an expert on human bodies in general, with massive gaps when it comes to specific patients' bodies.

I'm not going to argue that the right answer is to not weigh at all. There are a lot of other options, like not telling the patient the weight. And/or skipping the sermon on weight. Bringing up weight only in the context where it matters. Being specific about what aspect of weight is relevant. (Is it really the mass causing mechanical failure, or are we talking about fatty tissue? Endocrine problems?)

In a perfect world, measuring weight wouldn't be an issue because your doctor would be sensitive yet persuasive, and patients wouldn't be hung up on it and would be making rational choices (eg "I'm fat because it's a side effect of doing things that make me happy and this is what works for me right now.") We don't live in a perfect world. We need to do the best in the actual situation, and handing over all power to the doctor does not have that result.
I'm so glad I'm not the only person who thinks this!
> it shouldn't have let me reverse any more as it was seeing a clear obstacle behind me or at least make me double check by beeping

My backup camera frequently loses its shit because it gets obstructed by rain or snow, or sometimes paint on the ground fakes it out. If the only sensor is a camera, that must not override the driver. Beeping is fine. I might feel differently about lidar.

On that topic, though... I really wish backup cameras had some sort of wiper.
Odd. I believe my 2018 model year Volvo allows me to start the car, take the key with me, and lock the doors (so long as I take my key fob with me).
I think you may want to revisit your 80%. The vaccine efficacy for sterilization of the virus ended up dropping more quickly than expected and that's even with pre-Delta variants. Look at the Israel data. When you don't understand, I suspect what you are encountering isn't bad faith actors, but more informed people.

I’m not familiar with vaccine tech. Can’t you grow the peptide of interest and package it in a traditional vaccine?
> Ask people and consider yourself what it would take to disprove some of the things you believe to be true.

Sure. If the past 7 years had been the coldest on record, I'd be a lot more skeptical of the consensus theory of climate change. Instead, they were the hottest on record.[0] And yet Joe Rogan lets Jordan Peterson, a clinical psychologist (!), go one his show and claim that the theory of climate change is a fraud because: "Your models are based on a set number of variables. So that means you've reduced the variables -- which are everything -- to that set. But how did you decide which set of variables to include in the equation if it's about everything?"[1]

> By denying a platform, you often feed conspiracy theories and fringe ideas. This must be a powerful, true, and dangerous idea if so many people are trying to hide it.

It's not clear to me if you personally believe this statement or if it's a reference to irrational conspiratorial thinking. But we deny platforms all the time. You won't find Holocaust deniers getting equal time in a history textbook. You similarly won't find flat Earthers teaching geology at an accredited university. And when Joe Rogan got paid $100 million for having a popular podcast, he was incentivized to appeal to an increasingly irrational listener base, regardless of what the truth was.

I'm not sure what you think the long term mission is, but I suspect taking private yachts to and from his private island is most of it.

They may not be day to day involved, but they vote down any shareholder proposals to fix what Google is doing, they're aware of what's going on. And the sleezy practices started long before Alphabet did, ads and search results have been becoming less distinguishable for a decade.

And Sundar's claim to fame, lest we forget, is hijacking everyone's browser settings by injecting the Google Toolbar into every Adobe Flash Player installer.
My Jeep Wrangler is the kind of a vehicle you can leave out in the rain without the top, exposed to the elements. Floors have drain plugs, and there's very little electronics where water could intrude. The car stereo is visibly not worth stealing, and if it breaks at most I would take it out to have a new storage cubby.

It's very refreshing to own.

- lane centering - in some cars for whatever reason drives to close to middle of the lane
- emergency breaking - false positives sometimes. I was overtaking a cyclist, and although I kept lots of distance as the opposite lane was completely free, it made my car slow down a lot. Luckily nobody was behind me
- tmps, it's fine till sensors work or detected properly
- auto headlights - sometimes they are late, and drivers coming from opposite side are made. Hopefully matrix led will be better
- auto wipers - the worst of the worst! Either too slow or too fast. Or not detecting the drizzle. WTF. Really, the best was the old school knob, which just turned right/left and allowed full control over the interval
I hardly see product placement as being even remotely close to what YouTube is doing. Its probably one of the most innocuous forms of advertising. Imagine a YouTube where the worst you can come up with is a guy drinking a coke during his video.
