Which is why he said "waving swastikas", not "being Nazis".

But yes, Nazis are getting involved with the anti-vax protests, on the same side as Trump, not on Science's side.

In Germany’s east, far-right extremists find footholds in escalating anti-vaccine protests:

>While Kohlmann contends that Free Saxons is not an extremist group, German authorities say it is clearly so. The co-founder, Stefan Hartung, is a member of the district council for Germany’s National Democratic Party, a neo-Nazi party. Kohlmann professed to seek the return of the Saxon monarchy and independence for the state.

>He said the pandemic is an opportunity to reach more people. A “much broader range” of demonstrators join the weekly walks on Monday than anti-immigrant rallies.

>He doesn’t have to reach out to people, he said. They are coming to him.

>“It’s exploding,” he said of the group’s social media presence. The Free Saxons’ Telegram channel had 48,000 followers in August 2021, it has now grown to more than 140,000.

Something I've been thinking/wondering about. I'm clearly not an oncologist, so what i've been thinking about may already be standard - One of the features of cancer cells is that as cell division becomes dysregulated, karyotypes become deranged. There are missing, duplicated, truncated, hybrid chromosomes. If we could find ( or more drastic introduce ) a protein that is always expressed from each chromosome or can be induced to be expressed through a drug in every cell, how could you come up with a treatment that is deactivated by the presence of these proteins. While tumor cells in an individual are heterogeneous, if you had a treatment consisting of a compound that stimulates the production of a certain enzyme, and a drug that is deactivated by a certain enzyme, could you use this to kill all cells that lack the chromosome that code for that enzyme?
Perhaps this is already done in chemotherapy, where a compound induces it's own breakdown in healthy cells, but is this done in a chromosome by chromosome strategy?

Vaccines are both the seat belt and the airbags. Masks? Those aren’t even close. They are more like rain dances or amulets.

Besides why does the government get to decide if a vaccinated person has to wear a mask? Makes no sense.

You can add as many layers of defense as you want. Don’t force me to. I’m boosted. I could care less about Covid. If I still have to wear a mask post shot, why the hell did I even bother?
It shows lack of experience to suggest having a gap in testing is somehow "recklessly ignoring industry standards". If you look at Symfony's test suite it's clear that they take testing extremely seriously and keep their tests up to date in a way that's far superior to my experience with "industry standard". If you look at the fix for this issue which is linked from the OP you'd see that the first thing they did is add a unit test to prevent this kind of issue from happening again.

If you consider that kind of behavior recklessly unprofessional I'd be amazed to see the kind of tests you write for your code.

It is. It’s not high literature or even recognized as such by critics, but 1. It means something to someone out there and 2. There are plenty of references and repurposed components in that that do come from the recognized serious literature. Everything is a remix, everything is being continuously repollinated and crossed over. Some works are more derivative than others.
Well your signal client performs SGX remote attestation before sending any contact data to ensure that the server codebase matches a valid release. So if they're not running the published source, your client will refuse to share your contact information and social graph. Note that messages are e2e encrypted on the client side, so they don't enter into it.

It's not even an actual Nazi flag either.

Someone used a red marker to draw a swastika on a Canadian flag. Big difference. I suspect it is being shared in such a way to make unengaged readers think that it was a bona-fide Third Reich banner.
This sort of thing has happened to me but it was just my bfs airpods which triggered the alert.
> What's more, before omicron it was a pretty reasonable position to conclude vaccinations were ending the pandemic.

I've not seen a convincing argument against simply looking at excess deaths. This avoids all of the problems around classifcations of deaths with/from COVID, vaccination statuses, etc. It's much harder to disguise deaths or lack of deaths. EuroMOMO [1; scroll 60% down to the z-scores] shows excess deaths in Europe basically went back to normal in most countries after the European wave in spring 2020, long before vaccines were available. This was the case despite widely varying levels of lockdown stringency - with at least one country, Sweden, not doing any significant locking down at all. And many countries' peaks at this time were, if you scroll back in time, comparable in magnitude to excess deaths during previous winters. If you draw a line in your mind down the various countries' graphs at early 2021 when significant fractions of the populations of these countries were starting to get vaccinated, you will probably struggle to determine that they've had any real positive effect at all. Once you do that, consider an alternative hypothesis could better describe the data, for example that the virus is highly seasonal and we have very little control over it. Now, a bonus: change the age group from "all ages" to younger cohorts and observe that in many countries excess deaths did not shift from resembling noise during the entirely of the past 2 years. There are even some countries, not known for being paragons of good health such as Scotland, that barely saw any out of the ordinary excess deaths in the young during the whole period. I think people seem to think things are far worse than they actually are in most countries because of the panic created by media and politicians. This is why I am very unconvinced by the argument that vaccines have been helping to end the pandemic, at very least amongst most of those who have been locked down. It seems much more reasonable to me that other factors are at play here.

More and more companies go online, try to get customers. So they all spend money on getting customers buying their product. Even if the ads costs 50% of their profits.. That's ok.

So, big advertisers like Google and FB make money off almost ANY company that becomes successful trough ads. The funny thing is: If there are competitors then google or FB is making even more money, because they are all bidding for the add-spot. And google is walking away with the money. And, yeah, some companies lose money to try to push the competitors out of market. Through ads.
I actually agree that the carbon-intensiveness of the power source is no more relevant for Bitcoin than it is for any other use of energy. We use energy to do things we think are valuable. All of us do. If the distribution of costs and benefits of using that energy is out-of-whack, then our focus should be on aligning them better. Carbon-intensive energy use in many ways does a bad job of aligning those costs and benefits, (though I think that case is generally overstated). So, at least some uses of energy produce value, and we should focus on making sure that those who derive that value also bear the cost.

The real issue with the article happens here: 'It should rather be: “Is it worth it?”. I answer this question with a clear: Hell no.' But it's anything but clear. The article treats it as an accepted truth that the benefit isn't proportional to the cost. It's not an accepted truth. Millions of people have determined that the value of what PoW blockchains do is worth using some energy to make it happen. Does the author derive a great deal of value from the Bitcoin blockchain? Clearly not. So don't use it. Just because one doesn't derive any benefit from a particular use of energy doesn't imply that nobody does or that nobody should. There are exajoules of energy used to do things that I derive 0 value from. I use energy in a manner that many would consider to be frivolous. There's no objective function to determine the utility of a particular use of energy. Should the costs be borne by the same people who derive the benefit? Absolutely. Should we treat as implicitly accepted that a particular use of energy is frivolous and should be stopped? Not if you care about your own ability to use energy to do things you think are valuable.

That's a bad way to prove your point, because the 40% in your stat is _down_ from 50% a few years prior. The number of bankruptcies has also been steadily falling since 2010.

I wonder where they are going with this? I don't think they are stupid, so I'd expect there is more to it than "let's just charge more".

I cancelled prime a few years ago because I got nothing out of it. Half of what I was buying was either "not eligible for prime" or an add-on item that i have to buy x$ worth of stuff to get shipped free, which I can do without prime. That and I buy less stuff from amazon because it's all review-gaming cheap crap now anyway and sketchy third party sellers that amazon barely lets you know are selling to you instead of them.

So they have an increasingly bad product they are raising the price on. Like I say, they must have some angle
So what if kids transmit? Everybody age five and up can walk in and get a vaccine. Who are we protecting? Transmission doesn’t matter in a post vaccine world.

Besides, asking kids to sacrifice their one and only childhood to protect fully vaccinated adults who are still afraid is a horrific public policy. Kids should never be asked to sacrifice for adults. That just isn’t how things work.
You could gamify this by generating an update score. The more often and more consistently documentation is updated relative to commits, the higher the score. Nothing will be tied to the score, it’s just a number. It’s existence would incentivize developers to drive it higher. Sure you could get around it by just adding a space to the .md file, but at least then you’re opening the file and you may see something in there that needs a quick change anyways. The score would have done its job.

This would stop working if bonuses or compensation were tied to the score. The moment that happens, people will start writing hooks to update it with a space every commit, then it will be ignored by devs.
Parent was trying to let you know that it is available for cancellation before the year, essentially you can cancel at any time.

Their point was you might have erroneously assumed you had to make a decision now.

That narrows down the scope of your claim a little. It is somewhat incorrect though: During smallpox in the early 1900's, Baltimore would jail people if they refused a vaccine. That's certainly a barrier to entering stores and conducting basic commerce.

England did the same thing.

Going back another 100+ years, Virginia passed a law that could see someone not inoculated via variolation jailed & fined if their failure to inoculate spread the disease. I also consider this jailing a barrier to basic commerce.

The precedents exist.
They likely can't. Background bluetooth scanning is a highly locked down thing because retail used it with apps to scan tracker beacons.

The west coast has large tracts of unoccupied, I maintained forest land, and a more Mediterranean climate (wet then much drier).

The two combine into large, periodic forest
Fires.

The east coast has much fewer unbroken tracts of forest, and where it does have them they are more heavily managed and stewarded for a number of reasons.

The east coast was developed and property subdivided/allocated long before the tendency towards large national parks, monuments, etc.

It isn’t that these national parks or forests cause all these problems (though many of them DO feature prominently in these huge fires), they are also a sign of the very different nature of land allocation during the settling of the area.

You can see this pretty clearly if you pull up maps of federal land (national forests, national parks, blm land, etc). Several western states have more land owned by the federal government than anyone else.

They are all out west.

Mask mandates say “vaccines dont work” and “stay scared”.

They are dehumanizing.

Besides it doesn’t matter what you think about masks. The fact that many people resent wearing them is reason enough to rethink forcing people to wear them. We do live in society and not everybody considers Covid the only problem in existence. Especially post vaccine.

Maybe people want to move on? Mayne those people have incredibly valid reasons for they wish? Maybe the government should respect that?

I think it's one of those things that can be good game design, but can also be abused depending on how it's done. In the end, you're still getting that sweet hit of dopamine every time you level or when you get some new cool weapon/item. Games have always exploited that to make their games more fun and addictive. It's nice that the site lists those things for people who are concerned about that or are looking to cut down on your time spent in the skinner box

PUBG was destroyed by Fortnite, which reintroduced autoaim to the battle-royale genre.

Emperically speaking, whenever a new game comes out with a more "hardcore" mode with less auto-aim... a newer game comes out and just brings back auto-aim, and suddenly the community switches over to it.

People really like autoaim. Whether they consciously know it or not... kind of doesn't matter. People seem to have more fun and that's all a game designer wants.

I don't see any important result in that talk that was not salvageable. I see a lemma that had to be changed in support of a larger theorem, but again nothing that "broke downstream papers" so to speak. All the results ended up being fine for their purposes.
LOL at the downvotes. Seems like a lot of comments critical of TikTok are being downvoted in this thread. I wonder if they are hiring vote farms to manage their reputation online.
>we'd be done

No, the current status is that we'll be done if and only if we reach acceptance of a situation that is not going to go away anytime soon. The only thing stopping us from being done is in people's heads.

My government has spent hundreds of billions to prevent "the health care system from being overburdened". Not a single cent of that money went into the healthcare system. In fact, the systematic reduction of "healthcare overcapacity" was continued throughout. Our politicians are either remorseless criminals or fantastical dunces. Either way the world would be a better place if they were removed from power, one and all.
> okay so this is an unlawful protest that has a detrimental impact on residents, the environment, and local business. Can someone explain to me why this is tolerated and why these people are not simply being arrested?

> Off the top of my head, I can name at least Grafana, Visual Studio Code, and JetBrains IDEs, as the (web)apps that default to dark mode, but have optional light theme.

My point (perhaps not worded clearly enough) was that there are very few cases where only dark mode is available. I was trying to say that in most cases where a dark mode has been added, a light mode is also available.

I'll give you InfluxDB but, like Grafana, there is a use case of those systems being used on large TV screens so the dark UI has perhaps more of a functional reason behind it than other software.

Yes, Moore's law has nothing to do with computing power, memory, or any other specific chip. Moore's law only states that the number of transistors on a dense integrated circuit will double every two years. The number of transistors doubling then roughly equates to more computing power, memory, etc.

We have slowed for 2 reasons, most people don't need more and power consumption has become as important if not more important when it comes to mobile devices and laptops.

In general Moore's law is anticipated to start slowing because as you get smaller and smaller quantum physics comes more and more into play.
