I just literally couldn’t do it. My brain is completely checked out with 2 hours to go on an 8 hour day. I have to try with all the willpower I have if I want to get any work done in the last 2 hours.
> The point is that people need to stop presuming that these vaccines are without risks of their own.

That's a good point, but it's not the point being made when someone links to a side effect report and implies it was wrong to get vaccinated, as if vaccines need to meet an impossible 0-side-effect standard.
How is that? Is their vasculature different?
" drivers prefer conventional trucks, the ride better, largely handle better, and are safer for the driver." I drove truck in the 90's and the joke back then was "cabover driver's were the first to arrive at the scene of an accident".
This reminds me of how instrumental just going to the library was as a kid for my love of reading. It was the only place that was like a store to me at the time where I could have anything I wanted. It felt like a fun challenge to find as many books that I might want to read as possible.

I wonder how we can create this experience more easily remotely. There are tons of library eBook apps that are all pretty awesome, but discovery of new content just isn't the same. I find myself going to the library still. Or even to book stores to write down interesting looking titles.

I know this seems like a boring problem because you can just go in person then put a hold on the eBook version while you are there. But there has to be a way to present a curated selection of books that inspires children to:

- enjoy the adventure of finding a good book

- fosters the idea that reading unlocks knowledge or stories about anything they want

- makes the process of sampling a book as easy as it is on Amazon, or in person

Why? When schools are remote, or to serve children that don't have a local anything nearby.

Does anyone know of services that provide this now or have any ideas for how this would best work as an enhanced UI over say Libby or overdrive, or even hoopla all of which are great for if you already know what you want to read.
I was really just playing devil's advocate. It just seems like everyone expects things to be given away as charity. Apple is not a 501(c), so if they come up with something, it's because they think there's a revenue stream in it.

The entire thing works so well precisely because there are so many Apple devices in the wild, and Apple is looking to capitalize on that.
As an American citizen that left for Europe 10 years ago, I honestly don't see why an American citizenship is so desirable. Yes you can make a lot of money, but you don't need a citizenship for that. I tell people that ask me about moving over they should "get in and get out". Make your money then move to somewhere with a functional society to raise a family. You might take a pay cut but your kids won't get shot at school either.

Hello, I am 27 years old, I have an Associates Degree in Liberal Arts from a community college. I want to become a Software Quality Assurance – Software Tester. I am looking for a free or paid internship that may potentially become a place of employment. I am learning the skills necessary for the job so that I can work in a team with software engineers. I prefer at first to have a remote job, but in the future I can work in-office, too. I studied how to do web design on w3schools.com, Java on (w3schools.com, codeacademy.com) . I have watched videos from coding bootcamps, on how to do Software Testing Methods. I am ready and good at studying. I am ready to continue my education in Software Testing. My goal with time is to be a Software Quality Assurance Engineer. I want to work in this field of Software Testing, and I want to grow in this field. I am willing to talk through everything in the interview.
Oh noooo, I will not make the most amount of money I could make for someone else in exchange for a negligible percentage of my salary.
HVM: a massively parallel, optimal functional runtime in Rust
In my experience it says more about if you've left your little town for a relatively significant period of time than class. I know train kids with more exposure to the world than that, and as I said above district attorneys and national news contributors who have no interest in anything outside the commercial zone of their suburb.
I did something pretty similar for a Brother thermal printer, it took a couple of weeks and I completely lost my mind at one point when I tried to print a single pixel and it ended up as a gigantic block... https://daveirvine.me/#ninety_bytes_is_720_bits
I (also at Amazon) once wrote a script that fetched data from a whole bunch of different sources and aggregated them into a single static snapshotted overview Wiki page (no, they weren't live-dashboardable, for...reasons). One of those sources was an oncall-diary, that had to be manually updated because it was tracking fluffy human things like sentiment and thoughts rather than ticket count. So, naturally, I put a `--yes-I-promise-that-I-have-updated-the-oncall-diary-page` flag on the script, and made it error out with a very clear error message (telling you what needed to be updated, and why) if that was not set.

I went off to do something else for a few months, came back, and found that script being run in a Cron job, with that flag hard-coded set. Sometimes even your clearest "watch out, do this thing!" naming won't do any good.

(I guess the takeaway from this is that the manual oncall diary wasn't all that important. Which was something I questioned at the initial requirements gathering, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )

btw, _thank you_ (and your team) for CloudWatch. It's great, and I am continually frustrated by teams that ingest events, process them, and emit calculated metrics to PMET, rather than just logging and letting Log Insights figure it out. The extra overhead to change PMET-emission code every time we want to investigate some new measure is such a waste.
To me, both of those sound like people that can't make friends unless the other party is forced to spend time with them through their employer.
Prospective clients find me on LinkedIn and then contact me. Also, there are some staffing agencies that keep lists of freelance consultants so that they can keep their client happy even if they don't find any suitable hire. Sometimes when I'm bored, I actually chat with their recruiters.

Also, pull requests. I once fixed a crash bug in the Unreal Engine 4 and submitted a patch. Afterwards, a game studio called me. Similarly, I got contacted by an AI consultancy after I submitted a patch to TensorFlow.

Plus me and my friends do a lot of online competitions. Last year we briefly "won" Sintel, this year its Bomberland. Nothing says "this guy can do AI" better than ranking in-between FAANG teams in an AI competition.
Ok makes sense.

But is that different then to vaccines against bacterial diseases? If some bacteria enter my body, surely they don’t magically disappear either, maybe split a few times but eventually die off.
I am not saying they were wrong, just that the terminology is stupid. Convention has nothing to do with what came first.
Pacman is a good example - the ghosts are deliberately simple so you have a chance of avoiding them and the game is fun. I wouldn't call it a "dark" pattern unless the ghosts were also mind hacking my desire to play more with gacha techniques
There's a Google office that has a cluster of conference rooms with names like "Hell", "Limbo", "Jail", "No Time", "Over Your Head", etc. I've always wondered if telling an interview candidate "You'll be in Over Your Head today" has a psychological effect.
> I purchased my goods with the express contract that the AppStore will be the only way a developer gets access to Apple's APIs, Libraries, and instruction sets for iPhone.

Any software license you may have purchased is a non-exclusive one. Apple can re-license their own software however they wish.
Dark mode has a strong preference among some computer users because it works better in dark "computing caves" with low ambient light; when you consider that older screens were relatively dimmer and had severe glare issues, the computer cave was itself a sensible way to do computing. I know I was all about dark mode 15 years ago or so with my first LCD monitor.

But it's also primarily a young person's thing to be able to stay in the cave. Older people are more often put in a position where strong ambient light is assumed, either because of job/household environment or because their eyesight starts to prefer it.
Haha, so cool! If 6 year olds like it and there's already a waiting list, he might even sell the story to Hollywood. ;)
Not to mention the inflation rate between 2008 and 2010 was -4% and then 0% for a hot minute thereafter. Factoring that, plus the 4% nominal return, meant that the programs yielded something like 8-10% annualized real returns.

Amazon raises price of Prime membership by $20 to $139/year
I was very confused until I realized you meant "affected."
If you'd want the transmission charges to match the cost to the utility you should have a base charge consisting of basically the cost to the utility of maintaining your customer relationship after the initial hookup cost, and another part to match the utility O&M cost of the grid distributed over all the customers. Then on top of that a time-varying per-kWh charge for the electricity transferred. This would probably in most cases be pretty cheap, except when the grid (either the utility grid as a whole or the local part that you're connected to) starts to become overloaded; in that case scarcity pricing would apply which would presumably be very high. This would incite customers to reduce usage during scarcity, or give the utility funds to invest in grid expansion.

Similarly for the energy price, that should match the wholesale price. Though see the $10k bills some people on a wholesale price plan got during last year's Texas freeze for why such an idea might not be so popular in practice, theoretically beautiful as it may be.
As far as oss projects go, eight days ago seems pretty active compared to the usual "inactive project" having last commit dates of months ago

Pacman is funny: one ghost was incredibly bugged and basically doesn't function right.

They fixed the glitch in "Ms. Pacman", and the game definitely feels better because of it.

----------

Strong Ms. Pacman players know the personalities of the ghosts. IIRC, Blinky (Red) aims at a direct path towards the player. I think the Blue-one IIRC tries to form a pincer attack. The other two I always forget (I'm not strong enough to really pick them apart at that level... but I'm strong enough to avoid most Blinky issues).
I like most of my colleagues but 90% of work produced chit chat is petty superficial, totally imaginary, if not utterly toxic. I wished and tried to have better convos but it's a race to the bottom. The only value of these meetings is to vent. Whoever doesn't work enough, is stupid, what your direct superior forced you to. I even tried to offer improvements, but it fell flat (no social status, no ears). Really a waste of existence, I'd rather talk to a betta fish.
I'm not sure what you're technically proving, but the quote said nothing about "small fraction of people", it was categorical.
I never said people have a right to make a living off of their passions. People don't. Passionate people are not divorced from the market but active participants in it.

I, however, would like to pay people to make this thing that may just happen to have a passionate origin. I also think many people want some polished version of this thing to exist, despite not wanting to fund its manufacture and maintenance. I think the inconvenience to the user in the interim is worth it, but many/most don't agree with me and that is one reason it doesn't exist.

Making legislation to force third-party marketplaces to exist on a "platform" is more in line with your concern, to be honest. It's forcing an entity to do something it doesn't want to do. If consumers cared about this, they would move to a different platform or gasp create a competitor that does what they want. I already know of some people that have moved from Apple to Android simply because side-loading is possible.

Also, I take issue with the notion that in order for something to exist today, it has to have "broad mainstream appeal". A marketplace by its very nature benefits from diversity of marketed goods, but just like any other product, it shouldn't need to completely displace market leaders to exist. The rise of megalythic companies, VC being promised eventual Google-scale growth of their bets and people's general squeamishness at using anything at all unpolished or inconvenient has created this world where everything needs to be huge in order to be considered successful in any meaningful way.

F-droid is a thing and I don't think anyone would argue it

A. Doesn't exist.

B. Is a real competitor to the Google Play Store.

C. Doesn't invovle people in the market, both developers and users, who are happy that it exists and wish to further it's growth.

I can say, I think a lot of the problems we currently have and ones we are trying to spotfix with legislation could be better solved via a more conscious consumption. "Should" is a subjective term based on a cost/benefit analysis and while I think people should act differently, I don't think they should be barred from acting as they have today nor are they morally corrupt for doing so.

Everyone buckets and weights the pros and cons of everything differently.
A curated app store doesn't need to be profitable to be useful for both users and developers. Example: F-Droid.
I suppose it depends on exactly which program you're looking at, but since you mention Wall Street banks, I assume you're talking about the Capital Purchase Program.

I don't think it's reasonable to say that this was given away "for free". If it was "free" then there wouldn't have been any over-recovery at all, would there?

In the CPP, the government bought preferred stock in a number of banks (mostly not Wall Street ones, but whatever). That stock could've been worthless if the banks failed, but otherwise the banks were required to pay an annual dividend of 5% through 2013 and 9% thereafter; plus there was a whole host of supervision of their activities, including limitations on their ability to pay ordinary dividends.
Yes? Maybe? I dont know. But thats how it was framed in the example given.
So anyway as I understand it we have a pretty technical readership here on HN.

Technically, the virus is called SARS-CoV-2 and the disease is called COVID-19[1].

That does mean, technically, that due to vaccination the virus can indeed circulate but that people are not affected by the disease. Is that what Biden has said? Certainly from the excerpt you posted, that seems to be the case.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severe_acute_respiratory_syndr...
My reaction was with regards to the parent’s question, sorry if it came out as flippant.

If those are indeed the planned locations for expansion then it’s even worse for Starlink because nobody over there needs it.
Do you have sources to back up [1]. I'm interested in learning more.
6. And a pony. A pretty one with fluffy hair you can comb.
The mechanic of levelling up or gathering experience points and so on are proxies for a sense of progress, not actual progress. They don't get you anything but the satisfaction of getting it. Textbook pointlessness.

Asserting that I do not understand people enjoy different things differently, and the other things you Seem To Wish To Imply: undermines your attempt at convincing me my mind is closed. You insistence on mistaking validation for goodness (because people enjoy it, does not mean it without dark pattern) however might show you something about your own mind. Tons of people like things that are not 'good' for them, doesn't mean we should see no problem with is or at least understand the pitfall.
That's cherry picking a slip of the tongue: he was very clear earlier in that post that you can still get infected:

>If you’re vaccinated, even if you do catch the “virus,” quote, unquote — like people talk about it in normal terms — you’re in overwhelm- — not many people do. If you do, you’re not likely to get sick. You’re probably going to be symptomless. You’re not going to be in a position where you — where your life is in danger.

So you can cherry pick and attribute an absurd interpretation while ignoring everything else he said, or go for the reasonable view that he knows infection is still possible based on multiple other points in the conversation. The man isn't a great speaker, but nonetheless it's inappropriate to choose the worst possible interpretation of something when context contradicts that interpretation.
I find the FUD against third party app stores on iOS to be simultaneously crediting Apple with providing immense amounts of security in its App Store, and believing that it would be incredibly helpless without sole control through its App Store. That's very contradictory, both in ignoring the many, many vulnerabilities and scams that have proliferated on the App Store through the years (not to mention other negative user experience), but also ignoring the great pains that Apple has in ensuring security through layers and mechanisms beyond the App Store.

iOS is more secure than Android not simply because the App Store is better curated than the Play Store, but protections built in its very own operating system model. There are permissions restrictions that Apple has guarded carefully and not subject to removal through the permitting of third party app stores.

Furthermore, because Apple still has ultimate control of its operating system, it can design a careful flow to enable the use of third party app stores and side loading. It can hide it deep in Settings behind multitudes of "are you sure?" windows and security checks. It can coax users not to relinquish protections.

Hell, if Apple embraced the whole decentralized app store idea, it can provide an AppStoreKit SDK and sets of standards for third party app stores to adopt, a sort of security certification system that they can choose to conform to and be recognized for meeting Apple standards, similar to Apple's verified third-party repair stores.

The idea that allowing third party app stores will doom iOS is an anti-Apple critique in disguise, because it claims that Apple is helpless outside of its App Store. There is a lot more Apple can do.
> a bare minimum, they’ll have the Google store and the Facebook store

Why Google and FB in particular? Because of the ad tracking thing? Note that if Apple allows sideloading, then rather than installing G/FB’s official apps you’d be able to install 3rd-party clients to their services that mitigate tracking/block ads. Currently you can’t easily do this because of App Store policy disallowing apps that violate the ToS of services that they access.
Most of their net income was from the Rivian investment?

Net income increased to $14.3 billion in the fourth quarter, or $27.75 per diluted share, compared with $7.2 billion, or $14.09 per diluted share, in fourth quarter 2020. Fourth quarter 2021 net income includes a pre-tax valuation gain of $11.8 billion included in non-operating income from our common stock investment in Rivian Automotive, Inc., which completed an initial public offering in November.
I don't think this can be the case across the board. I control the reverse DNS for my cable modem IPs and still see the downgrades during peak-neighborhood hours.
The question as asked seems pretty clear to me. If Company A builds a product/service, why should Company B be expected to utilize Company A's work without compensation?

What more information do you need?
Point was injectors inject fuel not air...

I think we cross-edited, remaining confusion I think was about 2 vs 4 stroke but it's not really relevant so I had adjusted with a nod to when diesel injection occurs in 4.
Where is this mythical $0.40/kWh price for electricity (not transmission) actually occurring?

Net metering does not expire after a year. You can continue to get any power you need matching the power you had put in on a 1:1 basis. The 1c/kWh is for the excess.

Most of PG&E's infrastructure is transmission infrastructure, not generation. They wouldn't be building power plants themselves, anyway. Net metering allows rooftop solar to effectively get paid for electricity at a much higher rate than PG&E or local electricity cooperatives than would be paying on the open market. It is designed as a subsidy to motivate people to install solar. Pretending that it's a subsidy for PG&E is missing the mark.
The public invested in SOL directly or indirectly got their SOL value diluted by $320M. The public here includes Jump.
What exactly is the moral dilemma here? The products are not made from animals, so what's the problem? I don't understand why if they just pretend to be made from animals that that would make them morally questionable.
I wonder if this won't become the norm. Our world may be on a shift toward maximum efficiency. No more work more to produce more, or try to do few to extract more money and overspend. Real efficiency.
I’ve spent a lot of my life working for someone else. Maybe it’s time I live for myself.
Interesting comment. It's so funny, whenever anyone posts a VAERS link (literally the only visibility the US public has into adverse events) people come out of the woodwork to mention that anyone can submit a report. Other than VAERS, we have public health authorities which routinely lie to the public simply to get vaccines in arms, regardless of the truth or consequences. Too many examples to list here but Fauci continuously upping the percentage of people that would need to get vaccinated to achieve herd immunity comes to mind. I guess he left out the part that herd immunity isn't even possible with the vaccines.

We're relying on proven liars to get our health information? These are our CHILDREN for God's sake.

I'll go ahead and list the whoppers from the mayo clinic site:

- A COVID-19 vaccine can prevent kids from getting and spreading the COVID-19 virus.

The vaccines in no way, shape or form prevent someone from getting or spreading COVID-19

- COVID-19 vaccines have not been linked to infertility or miscarriage.

Miscarriage data: https://www.greenmedinfo.com/blog/foia-docs-reveal-pfizer-sh...

- These vaccines were approved quickly because the red tape was cut — not corners.

Please see the story of Pfizer whistle-blower Brook Jackson

- In the U.S., the delta (B.1.617.2) variant is now the most common COVID-19 variant.

Omicron is over 95% of cases. Why would they conceal that? Ahh, because the FAQ question was "Do COVID-19 vaccines protect against the variants?" You'd have to admit the vaccines do next to nothing versus Omicron unless you have had a booster in the last 10 weeks.
