> While the sheriff's department said protesters at one point blocked entrances and exits at the hospital, no videos or photos confirmed that was the case.

[snip, most of the article about the shooting itself]

> Rather, video footage showed a handful of deputies standing in a driveway (apparently an entrance to the hospital’s emergency room), while the small group of protesters paced up and down a sidewalk feet away from them.

> At one point, deputies detained a journalist with LA’s NPR station, KPCC, who was reporting on the small protest, as well as a male protester who “refused to comply” with deputies’ demands to leave the area.

> The sheriff’s department said the reporter, Josie Huang, ignored deputies’ repeated commands and did not present “proper” press credentials. But she said and videos of her arrest show she didn’t have time or space to react to deputies orders before they shoved her and forcefully took her into custody. In one video, she can be heard shouting “I’m a reporter… I’m with KPCC” as officers push her to the ground. They cited her with obstructing justice, though KPCC is urging authorities to drop the charge.

They are all of these things, as I've defined them. I'm going to take what few actions I can take to try to make this site useful to me, and direct it, little as I can, in the direction I'd like to see it go.

Largely, these are topics that turn into flaming tire-fires in the comments immediately, with people rehashing the same tired arguments that get thrown out here day after day, year after year. It's tiresome, and I don't want to see it.
Amazing that the 100 IQ elites all think they want a working class uprising, but when it happens they panic and smear them as every -ist and -ism label in the book.

It's fine to disagree with the protesters, but at least be honest about what they want. They've been squeezed off online platforms and out of mainstream discourse, and this is what happens when it bubbles over.
You hold the same views about the BLM riots right? All the money donated should be seized and given to people in cities where the riots took place?
I'm endlessly surprised that no one seems to question the insanity that advertising can be the major source of revenue for so many company.

Advertising, by its nature, derives it's value from the sale of other goods.

It should be concerning that more and more companies, major household names, make their money off of advertising. It fundamentally doesn't make sense.

How much of advertising revenue comes from companies that themselves ultimately don't make a profit? So much of our current economy is an illusion created by shuffling around huge amounts of investor capital to make it look like there is money flowing everywhere.

That "Sunk Cost Galaxy" series is quite good. I didn't know much about this before.

It really feels like cashing in on nostalgia, put something barely playable together and keep cashing in. The fact that a lot of the development was outsourced.....
I agree with you, but I also see violence as an inevitable consequence of growing inequality. If we continue to let wealth inequality grow, more and more people will feel the game is unfair, and choose to play another game, even if the "rising tide that lifts all boats" is lifting their boat somewhat.
My kids's school has creating a book a part of the curriculum every year beginning in kindergarten. My son who's amazingingly prolific did two books last year (he was in first grade). There was one day when he was in kindergarten that we were both writing at the same time. I managed to get a couple hundred words written on my novel in progress. He knocked out a 750-word story (dictated to his mother) that was damned amazing.
Ask your pediatrician. If you don't trust that they know better, get a new pediatrician. I'm not being glib, this person has made it through a grueling education of their undergrad, med school, and residency. They are well acquainted with hard sciences and research. If you don't trust them on their area of expertise, then that is the problem.

Anecdotally, every doctor I know has gotten their own children vaccinated as soon as it was available (or enrolled them in clinical trials, to get it earlier).

Why not just track the number of commits since the documentation has changed as a quick way of knowing which docs are most likely to be out of sync? Docs written in Markdown could have comment identifying which feature they belong to; code could similarly have a comment which feature they belong to. Doc pages could even dynamically display the number of commits on a feature since that doc page was updated... just thinking out loud here.
Restored is an interesting choice of word, Jump replaced the ETH at their cost is my read? It’s not like they wound back the transaction or got the ETH back.

The Surgisphere papers were not "null" results. They found significantly higher risk of death after HCQ treatment, based on what turned out to be highly flawed data. The problem was with the original dataset.

I'm not sure that article is useful to your point, as it states that the Sheriff's office was claiming they were blocking the hospital, but that "The Independent could find no evidence of them blocking emergency exits."

> No, the value the store provides is the SDK. Just as Unity requires you to license IP

Except Unity doesn't make the only device that Unity games can run on.

Apple should be making their money from the phones, not seeing the phones as a utility to get even more licensing fees ($99/yr, 30% cut of all payments) from developers.

But also doesn't the $99/yr charged to put apps on the store count as a license, making your Unity example sound even more monopolistic for Apple.
I was in the engine room of a Maersk line ship, many times while crossing the Pacific. It was like a simple car engine, except the cylinders are each almost 2 meters in diameter. The fuel was raw crude oil with every dirty component, and the force so large, this engine, the size of a two story house, would crush this crude oil to make the combustion. It was pure force, and cheap to run.

>If he was a smaller fish, no one would care.

No one would care about them being shut down, or no one would care what they said? Small people get de-platformed quite often from both political tribes, including shadow bans.

>I don't watch Joe Rogan.

Most people who are criticizing him, calling him racist and all that business don't watch him either I don't think. They just watch curated clips. I watch some of his episodes, some are certainly thought provoking. The general rule of thumb is if a clip cuts off mid-sentence or abruptly, it's probably intentionally misleading.

>I've seen one clip where he talks about myocarditis in children and he seems like he is just making things up.

Is it the one where he was with the Australian journalists where Rogan was saying there is a higher chance of kids getting myocarditis from the vaccine than from Covid? Did you watch the whole thing where the journalist disagreed, then they looked it up and Rogan corrected himself? If not, you watched a specifically curated clip probably designed to push a misinformation narrative.

>They did the same thing to Sotomayor when she made false statements about Covid and kids too. Are they trying to cancel her?

Did they do it for going on a week now? How many anchors covered it? Sotomayor isn't competition for CNN.

If you are interested, I suggest you watch some counter arguments to this whole facade to get a better picture. Right now I think you are just listening to the prosecutor and not the defendant, so to speak. Some interesting things I noticed is when the news would do a segment on a Trump speech and how outlandish it was, then I watched the actual speech, it was pretty obvious the news was being disingenuous. Seems like this happens on all corporate news, not just CNN, MSNBC, etc. It seems like CNN is getting gutted right now, so hopefully it will improve.

Talk of Walmart as a main competitor only makes me more sure that no one will touch Amazon any time soon. They bought Jet.com for 3.3B in 2016 to try to compete with Amazon. Any day now, any day...

I just cancelled the subscription on a paid GSuite/Workspace account. The administrator account doesn't go away, and you can select "Cloud Identity" and get some level of user management for free.

It will be hard to know how this impacts on things like peoples Play Store purchases within the context of Workspacex. Thankfully I'm not in that position.

Although I have a GSuite Legacy Free Account (in addition to a paid one), I haven't been running it for family and it's primarily been for email (which is now moved to Fastmail).

I understand most of the hassles are when you're using it as a primary account.

Bright outdoor light is a luxury not everybody has. Where I currently live it is cloudy most of the time and feels dark even at noon, especially in winter (when the sun is low). I wonder how people do adapt to such climate.

I feel like that issue could be solved by creating a random unique say 16 digit UID that users could then add as a phone number for contacts. As long as it does not map to a real routable phone number a phone dialer won't have issues if you call it by accident. Smarter dialers like that in calyxos could recognize it for signal calls if it has a unique prefix.

They could even sell existing users UIDs so they could share their contact info without sharing their phone number if they so desired, e.g. via a website. If they charged some nominal fee users could reset their UID. Maybe with escalating prices if done in short succession to make revenue and discourage abuse.
"the canvas is loading, please wait..."
Doesn't matter if the pandemic ended or not. Society (or at least the politicians) chose to regress. The virus is a virus. It doesn't tell us how to react to it. We do.

Many states didn't regress during delta. They kept calm and carried on with normal. Only some states decided to regress. And the outcomes are almost identical--in the same ballpark at least.
An earlier commenter likened AirTags to DNS. Is DNS a for-profit protocol? Does it need to be?
But that's the rub. I think almost by definition big discoveries will often be unpredictable, because if they were predictable you'd not have trouble finding them and they wouldn't be big. So if you just fund things that are popular, you're kind of stuck because although sometimes things that are popular are popular because they work, sometimes they're just rehashing what's already known.

Part of the problem I think is that there needs to be some healthy acceptance of risk in research. I'm not sure how you draw the line all the time between "things that are just bad ideas" versus "things that are unusual" but if you're always funding the sure bet you're not going to get anywhere.
> we shouldn't be focusing on preventing infection.

I'm confused by what you mean. I have read headlines that say mRNA vaccines reduce the risk of infection by 91%, but it seems like you have more nuanced information from knowledgeable people. So, who should I look to to get the "real" information about what to expect from vaccines and public health?

Vasculature in and especially around tumors is usually different. Malignant cells consume a vast amount of energy relatively speaking, and often over-express proteins that recruit blood vessels in order to feed this energy demand (VEGF is the one that is discussed the most afaik; this process is called angiogenesis). Inhibiting these proteins is a common chemotherapeutic strategy, see bevacizumab and ranibizumab. Despite this process most solid tumors are hypoxic at their centers and hypoxia-activated prodrugs that are "activated" within hypoxic environments (and toxic after activation) is yet another chemotherapeutic strategy, see evofosfamide or apaziquione.

Solid tumor penetration isn't really related to this though, it has a lot more to do with the fact that it is physically difficult for a molecule to diffuse through the many layers of cells that make up a solid tumor. When you take a drug, it generally ends up in your bloodstream and from there must diffuse through the lipid bilayers that encapsulate cells (whether they be cancer cells or not) in order to reach their target. This diffusion is a big barrier when it comes to designing drugs, because most things won't passively diffuse through lipid bilayers. A successful small-molecule drug will be able to 1) bind to its target effectively enough to stop that target from doing some disease-causing thing, 2) not bind to other things that are important for cellular function, and 3) get into the cell in the first place, without being broken down before it gets there. Balancing all 3 of these requirements is tricky, but rules of thumb have been developed for 3) that help guide the design of small molecules.

Perhaps the most important guideline for 3) is size. Most small molecule drugs (anything that you take in a pill, along with many chemotherapeutics) are designed to be < 500 Dalton. Once you get over 800-1000 Da diffusive cell penetration is rare (there are interesting outliers, cyclosporine cruises through lipid bilayers despite weighing in at ~1200 Da). Immunotherapy generally involves retraining your immune system by introducing antibodies (~150 kDa+) or whole T-cells. These modalities can generally only target things on the outside of cells, because there is no way they're getting inside, and they certainly won't be able to pass through the many layers of cells that make up a solid tumor.

tl;dr is that immunotherapeutic agents won't be able to penetrate solid tumors by diffusion because they (the antibodies and cells involved in immunotherapy) are too big, and there isn't any other mode of entry. I do wonder if a true immune response would need to penetrate at all though, because presumably T-cells would break down a solid tumor layer by layer if the appropriate antigen was present. I'm not sure how correct this line of thinking is though.
Really, the libraries' contents are just a significantly more difficult-to-search part of the deep web.
It's definitely not just about coverage, but also about how much capacity they have in an area. They don't want to overload the network given that home internet users will use a lot more data than mobile users. Likewise, they don't want to sign up people for them to have a bad experience, cancel service, and spread bad word of mouth.

T-Mobile has been managing how many people they sign up in an area. Sometimes T-Mobile's home internet is available in your area, but then they get a certain number of signups and it becomes unavailable in your area until they're able to increase capacity or customers cancel. It's possible that it was available in their area and others signed up for it.

AT&T is only offering service in very limited areas and it seems like they're mostly trying to replace their DSL connections that they don't want to upgrade to fiber.

Verizon's service is currently pretty small scale, but they're looking to grow it. Again, it will be limited areas because no one wants to overwhelm the network.

Even if you have good phone service, there's a big difference between someone using 10GB on mobile and someone using 500GB as a home user. Signing up 10 home users could be like adding 500 new phone users in a small area. That can be a lot of traffic and they don't want to start seeing their mobile users cancel service because home users are clogging up the network. So they want to roll it out a bit slowly, especially as they increase capacity over the next few years with midband 5G.

It's awfully handy for governments if all it takes to completely discredit a protest is one swastika flag.
They're welcome to do whatever they please. Doesn't change the fact that they're the largest company in the world though, nor does it exempt them from a bit of criticism for being one of the most ruthless forces in capitalism today. I don't think it's wrong to expect them to set a good example for the thousands of organizations that choose to follow their path.
> 90% of the people in the hospitals are unvaccinated still.

Where is this true?
Inflation (money printing) is the cause of increased demand in goods, not the result of supply problems. If the government sends checks of money to people, they will compete for the same amount of produced goods, and realize that they have to spend the money faster if they want it to preserve its value better.

In a normal setting when a user deposits his SOL to create the wETH, where does the SOL go at the end when the wETH is settled? Where does the SOL go when it's released from the wETH?

The wETH pairs X amount of SOL with an ETH. When it's settled, it releases both the SOL and the ETH to the corresponding parties. When the wETH is falsely created, it creates the SOL it wraps.
> So add more capacity. It's an emergency. Find a way to add it.

We did. The government deployed a floating hospital called the USNS Comfort to NYC to massively increase hospital capacity and... it basically just sat there unused for a month and then left after Governor Cuomo said it wasn't needed.
What's more, before omicron it was a pretty reasonable position to conclude vaccinations were ending the pandemic. By that I mean... That is a very reasonable position to hold only 3 months ago.

And I still think the vaccines are substantially accelerating the end. So I'm not even sure what the complaint is. That it isn't the only factor? Sure, but it's a huge one, and one of few that we can control.
It strikes me as high too, but it's possible that he needed more than a 200A 240V main panel to meet code for his very large solar panel system. In the US (I don't know about Canada where the house is) there is a 120% rule, which limits the amount of electricity that the solar panel is allowed to feed into the panel: https://unboundsolar.com/blog/electrical-panel-requirements-....

The idea is that you don't want more energy in the panel than the panel is designed to handle. Practically (if I understand it right) this means that the breaker for the solar panels is limited to 20% of the panel rating.
A 200A 240V panel would limit you to a 40A 240V breaker, which (according to the link above) means a maximum of 7.6kW of backfeed solar.

In the article, he says he has a 11.6kW solar array, which would require (if I'm calculating right) at least a 60A 240V breaker (maybe plus some required overcapacity?). Since this isn't allowed on a 200A panel, he may have needed to bump up to the next largest size of 400A unless he wanted to go smaller on the solar array. So while it sounds like overkill, it's possible there is more reason for it than just a desire to heat his wife's outdoor pool in the winter.
