This doesn’t add up. Collateral damage isn’t a concern in any other cancer treatments. And if fermentation is so necessary, how do people survive being in ketosis for years?
Sorry mate, if the first thing you go to is the holocaust and comparing it to something that isn't about the deaths of 6 million+ people, you're not equipped for civilized discussions full stop. Thanks
Though fair to have a certain level of skepticism it is also important to think outside the box. A lot of technology has come from micro steps leading to bigger developments. I hear the Internal combustion engine was a spin off from perfume. The little spritzer atomized the perfume which led to the ability to do so with gasoline allowing the first engines to come to life. If these nanatubules with lead to a new computer design I don’t know but I am curious to see where the information leads to new discoveries.

Observations of possible irregularities in an election are not proof, however, a fairly held election is one in which the votes can be explicitly audited by any of the candidates, and each voter's valid status can be verified after the vote is completed and counted and a winner is declared. Is that true in today's elections? (and was it ever true). If so, any questions can be resolved through executing an audit, and no one needs to seek the Supreme Court.

Allowing the votes of qualified citizens to be counted in an election is part and parcel of operating a fully auditable election. Whatever fully auditable approach offers the fewest obstacles is where we should land, as long as feasibility and practicality are contemplated. At least once, each voter needs to provide evidence that they are a US citizen, and that they reside in the district for which they are voting. Thereafter, there needs to be an auditable trail connecting their vote with their eligibility.
I booted up MPW in an emulator last year to check it out. Definitely a unique experience. Very cool.

Yes. The people doing those boycotts believe those things are actively causing harm to people. I don't agree, of course, but that doesn't make them illegitimate.

> Once you've proven yourself to be a shitbag, I'm not going back to your products ever if I can help it. Nothing illegitimate about that, it's called "voting with your wallet", which is nicely capitalist behaviour.

Imagine you lived in the first century AD, and you boycotted everything Saul of Tarsus was involved with, because of the religious persecution he committed. After he had his conversion and became Paul the Apostle, would you really continue to boycott him?
Is that scalable? Also, I'm guessing the "more serious gamers" keep the ones that float to 20, but not 1. If so, there is still wasted money because they toss some of the sets.

Do you think people would pay 50% more for a balanced set that they knew wouldn't need to be checked and tossed (similar question for "guaranteed 20s")

A lot of people I know who call themselves libertarians - not all, but the loudest - are what I would describe as opportunistic freedom-warriors when it suits their purposes. Pointing out to them the degree to which their safety and prosperity is being safeguarded by the government they think unnecessary just results in cognitive dissonance for them: They can't accept it emotionally. So they live in a fantasy where they believe they ultimately control every aspect of their own destiny, and where everyone else must be a fool, but their political views are not much more than a series of post-justifications for being fairly lousy human beings.

CadQuery is awesome. When I was designing my keyboard[1] the original version was a huge mess of OpenSCAD. Transitioning to CadQuery simplified the code a lot and let me produce the STEP files CNC machines need instead of the rendered STLs OpenSCAD is only capable of.

Thiel thinks that America needs more demagogues to unite Americans in a manufactured hatred of the Chinese et al. So he's funding some of those demagogues right now.

In reality, many of America's problems are due to the unfettering of ruthless & selfish oligarchs -- like himself -- who don't have the foggiest sense of "collective social good". A paradox indeed. It's hard to not view his political activity as mere scapegoating while he continues to make billions in the most depraved of manners (e.g. Palantir).
The least successful businessman (we use business person these days) is a weak point because Hilary isn't a business person. The fact that we can name Trump means he is more successful compared to most. Libertarian doesn't mean privacy. Lawsuits are part of his speech.

I had a del.icio.us account since the beginning until it got sold, but it wasn't really a forum or hangout. It was a link aggregator.

I still have a Slashdot account, but I can't remember the last time I logged in there. Peak Slashdot was really 1998 for me, when I was working in my first IT job and would check it as much as 5x a day. By 2011, it had declined greatly in readership because of the combined effects of Twitter, Reddit, and HN.

You're sealioning. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sealioning

I'll respond here in case your engagement with disinformation caused anyone confusion.

> "Believe me bro" isn't science.

Correct. This is a public internet forum where private or restricted access sources are not shareable, not an open science conference. Hence the reason the Washington State and CDC studies were shared, which align to claims made.

> What's that supposed to mean? What reason, what explanation?

I'll refer you to prior comments in this discussion chain.

> pointed to no appropriate resources. ... provided a lot of links

Read the links provided.

> An assertion that you have failed to prove and have no evidence for, as far as I can see.

Tautologies generally don't need proof. I believe you're being intentionally deceptive here.

Why tautological: a reduction in an individual's capacity to become infected with the virus reduces their individual capacity to spread the disease. A community is a collection of individuals; reducing many people's capacity through a vaccine to spread disease reduces community spread.

I refer you to both the Washington State study as well as the CDC study for the recent incidence rate ratio comparison between vaccinated and unvaccinated populations.

> You too. And try not to make any more claims you don't have evidence for, it's misinformation.

It's comments like these that show you are sealioning. Strong evidence for your questions have been provided in this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30232957 -- your inability to acknowledge the evidence provided because it disproves your attempt at sowing confusion doesn't mean the evidence is not clearly presented and available.

Versus sealioning on a controversial topic -- that's disinformation. I find insulting when people engage in it, and I'll not entertain your comments further.

--------------------

For any reading this comment chain who may be confused -- vaccinations reduce community spread, the evidence has been provided in the comment linked, and I encourage you to strongly distrust when people are "just asking questions."
Just for some context, the MPW C compiler that produced those messages was actually not developed internally at Apple, but was rather done by Green Hills Software [1] under contract as mentioned on the wikipedia page [2] and its source [3] which is funnily enough about this exact same topic.

Ask HN: What is wrong with dating in 2022?
There are currently a ton of dating apps like Tinder, Bumble, Hinge that cater to all the different wants and needs of singles. However it seems like there are still problems to remain (ghosting, catfishing or simply horrible first dates)

So my question is: What is wrong with dating in 2022 and how much of the problems could be solved with tech? Or is it simply about socio-economic positions of individuals and their personalities?
The reason might be if SO has investors maybe their investors are investing into another job board platform and you know they sort of quietly told them we need you to sunset this to benefit our other portfolio company.

If it's only distributed by anaconda, it's a hard "no" for me, since anaconda breaks existing libraries. I mean I could play with miniconda, but really, a docker container / flatpak would be better suited. And if I have to spend hours to try to get something to work, it's usually not worth the sunk time.

The point is the west wasn't unsettled. But US History books would have you believe otherwise.
Ah, I see: that affects whether it's allowed to be taught in an elective class or not. Yes, to fully oppose censorship, we should allow critical race theory to be taught in optional elective social studies classes. But then we should also allow optional elective science classes to teach that evolution is wrong, because to do otherwise would be censoring the young-Earth creationists.

Remote work has downsides, but you have the ability to fix them as opposed to the office where your only option is to switch jobs.

This is one of the things I love about open source software. When I want or need to, I can attempt to modify something to better suit the behavior I want. Some fraction of the time it ends up being too much effort, or I learn that my idea didn't take into account some secondary factor. But often enough I make can make a change, and even maybe contribute it back. I'd love to see more open-source with physical product - 3D printing seems like a good start.
I don't think that's possible? Say if you had a perfect 1px wide black line @1x and then you change UI scaling set to 1.5, you now have a 1.5px (physical) wide line. Which means you'll get blurring.

I think what they're getting at is that defending yourself in court is not easy or free even if you have the truth on your side.

A determined litigant can bury you in paperwork, costs, and other hindrances to the point that your speech is essentially surpressed. The OP case is a good example.

Showing up to contest the requested inunction likely cost a lot more than the story is worth. J+J knew they were going to lose this, but they wanted to remind the publisher that they need a lawyer on speed dial. As much as journalists and editors claim they aren't cowed by this kind of behavior, you can bet that they will tread carefully around j+j in the future

That’s very good news. I hope this trend continues.
I think what's really happening here is that most people, especially older men, are realizing how much of their social life is tied to work and going to the office. My advice is to get some hobbies, make some friends, join some groups. Even if you aren't willing to go out, finding groups and chatting online in a voice or video call is probably better than just sitting in your home alone.
Right, and then we bought the thing. Who is the stupid one now ;)
Do you mean "leave your house... to work somewhere else"? If so, that's sort of an option. But at that point, I might as well be working with my coworkers.

If you mean "leave your house... outside work hours", this is also becoming more and more possible, yet most of my waking hours are part of my workday.
I'm not, though I haven't necessarily been alone all the time. If I were single I might have a different opinion.

Specifically, it won't work across sites -- all major browsers (now) shard the HTTP cache by site.

I mean, first of all, Trump himself??? Blake Masters? Kris Kobach? My claim is exactly what I stated. These people, including Thiel, support politicians who support, condone, or downplay violence that has already happened. Whether you realize it or not, trying to get intellectual about simple things is undermining the doubt you’re trying to cast.
How do you know he doesn't have some theory of change that leads him to believe supporting Blake Masters, J.D. Vance, etc. won't lead to a less violent future? Maybe he believes they'll take an extremely hard line on China which will end up as a deterrent and prevent an action on Taiwan which would start a massive war or trade dispute tearing the world apart. I don't have any special insights here, but just because he backs politicians that you may find odious, doesn't necessarily mean that he isn't going for a less violent future.
Thiel is heavily behind his protege, Blake Masters.

Representative sample:

"Saving Arizona PAC, the Thiel-funded effort that has already spent nearly $1.7 million in Arizona, has launched ads attacking state Attorney General Mark Brnovich, Masters' principal GOP opponent, for rejecting Trump's lie that voter fraud cost him the election.

"Mark Brnovich says President Trump is wrong on voter fraud. Really? Brnovich failed to convene a grand jury, certified Biden as president. Now he's nowhere to be found, making excuses … instead of standing with our president," the ad says." [0]

If you can't find evidence of Thiel's direct or by association diminishing of January 6th, then you're either not looking in good faith or you don't know how to use a computer.

The real problems aren't in tech. The real problems are in people, and they're not easy to fix. But they're even harder to fix given that very few people are interested in the kinds of actions that might help. Like cancer patients who might be cured except that they don't believe in medicine, and aren't willing to take it anyway.
You may want to research the subject of this thesis a tiny bit more, because Thiel is clearly not limited to one area.
Sure the problem isn't the long hours preventing you from spending time with people you would prefer over co-workers?
For me, the order of preference is:
1) fully remote
2) hybrid

10) full-time in the office

Yea I miss the office interactions, but not to the point where I’d want to go back in full-time.
I love it.

I made a rule of not taking my work laptop outside of my desk. Previously, I was working from my couch and even my bed.

I’d also recommend taking an hour of lunch break to go outside (if possible).
It's really expensive but they throw the rest of a new machine in with it as consolation.

EDIT: Sibling beat me by a couple minutes. DO great minds really think alike?
YMMV as always and your question makes you vary from my perspective already.

No I am not sick of remote work at all. I love it! My quality of life has improved many fold. No more commute means I get a lot more time on my hands to do the things that I'd otherwise not have enough time for or for which it would be too late in the day (think kids that need to go to bed shortly after everyone is home vs. having hours of time. Better sleep because we can sleep longer in the morning before everyone has to leave. Since I'm an introvert, no more draining office interactions. Even though as a manager I sit through lots of meeting in front of a screen, it's way less draining than doing it in the office.

Now as you can see from the above, I have lots of interactions still and part of that could be attributed to the fact that I have a bunch of meetings. Our company is pretty good w/ getting everyone to talk to each other and work with each other not just through text messages. Got a question? Quick call. "Team building" events chats on video, sometimes w/ games or food or just talk etc.

FWIW I do see the extroverts struggling but hey, us introverts struggled for decades before...
