I'm so puzzled by some of the comments here. Is it simply because of how the general public was inadequately educated about how vaccines work? Well, why are you only upset by this now? Because of how much your life has been affected? If not, why not be as vocal about other things that affect the general population much more in the grander scheme of things. e.g. the general public's misunderstanding of simple statistics, or diet, or climate change etc.

I've been vaccinated (double-shot), after I got COVID 1 year ago. I've got Omicron afterwards - a mild cold, but noticeable. I've lost 3 family members to Covid19. My sister still hasn't fully recovered her sense of smell/taste after a year. The hospitals in my country were legitimately overrun for several months (I'm from South Africa). The infection rate was under-reported in some areas due to corruption but the excess deaths are undeniable.

Yes, COVID19 can kill. Yes, there can be some long lasting effects. Yes, some things are over and under-stated, and some governments have under/over-reacted (to the point of being draconian). Yes, many people are asymptomatic and can carry on living as if they were never infected. Yes, some of these asymptomatic people can infect others who don't have the same type of immune response. Yes, vaccines are effective against the variants they were designed for, and less effective against the mutated variants (how is this news?). Yes, even the less effective vaccines help against serious symptoms, death, and the overwhelming of health services. Yes, masks help against Covid and other airborne disease. Yes, washing hands help against bacteria and other some types of viral infection including COVID19.

What am I missing? What is it that people don't understand about the situation? Why are people so upset about this, but not upset about things that are arguably more detrimental to the livelihood of the entire human race?
> So the kind of protests that don't matter ?

10,000 people marching through downtown get lots of attention and they get heard. They shut down the downtown core for most of a day, and inconvenience a lot of people. They attract lots of media attention.

This protest is only 250 people.
Indeed, and thinking that

> the end goal of more widespread veganism is actually undermined by the existence of meat substitutes

as the GP says and OP agrees with, does not make any sense because offering a substitute that allows more meat eaters to ease into vegan eating can (from a vegan point of view) be a strictly morally superior action over meat eaters continuing to eat meat.
The immune system is nuanced, the question of whether you should get vaccinated is not. In no way does this article say you shouldn't get vaccinated.
There are only ~250 people in the protest currently.
When was the last release?
Yeah their interests of keeping the teachers and their families and the children safe.

Anti union rhetoric when the workers are looking out for their own and their community's safety is pretty rich.
In New Jersey most of the town cops make 6 figures and are in less danger than a bicyclist on public roads.
All it takes is one person to report him to immigration to test how robust his solution really is.
You're being disingenuous. Implicit in ChuckNorris89's comparison is that both Dallas and Munich are major cities, whether in their countries or on a worldwide basis. Both cities are, overall, pretty nice places to live. They are, roughly speaking, comparable. And yet, the cost of housing difference is significant. That was ChuckNorris's point.
Because software isn't fungible and "doesn't spam" isn't a differentiating feature so it costs apps nothing to do it.

Congratulations to Pat!

I used and loved Slackware for many years. I moved away because of the slow 15.0 release cycle and the near absence of communication from the BDFL, but I do miss it.
It would be great if that conversation around diversify started including original social class diversity as well: if your tech companies are hiring more diverse minority candidates, but they all had lawyer/upper class parents, did you fix anything? Probably not.
The choices don’t seem particularly shocking to me, so I don’t understand why they seem so obviously bad to you. For placement of bedrooms, I think the question is where else to put them. I guess they could have the office/4th bedroom next to the master instead but what the rooms for is obviously somewhat subject to change. For the bathing part of a bathroom being near bedrooms seems logical. There appears to be a small lavatory off the kitchen area but maybe it isn’t ideal not having a proper lavatory connected to the living space, especially if they actually do as much entertaining as they planned when designing it. I don’t know how to square your statement about architects seeing dumb money with the fact that many things you suggest they do would be more expensive and therefore increase the architects fees.

I don’t understand the comment about how fast your car charges at all. I suspect that electrical heating in the winter is the main thing that would push up power usage (especially with double-height rooms) but I’ve no idea really.

gm hn, blink powers the creator economy by making it dirt easy for influencers to launch NFT collectibles and build huge, realtime communities of superfans

we're backed by some amazing VCs in the crypto space -- and we'd love for you to join us for the ride

BLOCKCHAIN ENGINEER: You live in Solidity because you're convinced Ethereum is the future. You know exactly why zkRollups will change the game and you can't wait to get your hands on a zkEVM. You're comfortable with building+deploying advanced, upgradable smart contracts with ethers.js and other web3 tools.

WEB ENGINEER: You've got metric tons of experience with React, Vue or Svelte, and you're curious about working with SvelteKit in particular. You're comfortable with Realtime APIs and/or GraphQL. Hopefully you like TypeScript. You're able to take designs and bring them to life with animations and transitions. Bonus if you've worked with three.js or babylon.

IOS ENGINEER: You love SwiftUI, understand unidirectional data flow architecture and know your way around UIKit too. You're able to take design comps and bring them to life with animations, transitions, and pixel perfection.

ANDROID ENGINEER: You love Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, because you hate Java and want to build modern android apps. You're intrigued with Compose Multiplatform and are challenged by the idea of building a first-class, native Windows desktop app with the same Kotlin codebase.

Contact me on twitter https://twitter.com/samuel_mueller (DMs are open) or shoot us an email to jobs@blink.cm, we'd love to hear from you!
My limited experience with Habitat is they will train you on the job for whatever they're doing that day. If you can drive a nail or use a miter saw, you'll be greatly appreciated.
Scroll based UI stuff is one of the most frustrating thing of the web. Leave my scrolling mechanism alone! Web designers should realize the difference between landing page design vs article design. People clicking on your article link means that, they want to mostly skim the article and see the graphs. Why would you want to bother them with stupid design choices?
Is there some kind of document in an informal whitepaper format that explains how the mrna encapsulation works and how its manufactured? Anyone can copy paste a piece of mrna but afaik the magic happens with the delivery mechanism/membrane/structure.
This is also ignoring the fact that hospital staffing and beds have been on the decline for the past few decades. We were gonna run out of capacity at some point. COVID just made that come sooner.
There's a nonprofit edtech startup called Story Shares [1] that gives students the chance to publish their stories for other kids to read. They just wrapped up an open call a few days ago, and the top stories will be put into their catalog.

Arch embodied many of the original Slackware principles, once.

These days I don't know what they're doing, but Void is basically Arch without the bullshit (and with runit instead of systemd, thank goodness).
While we're talking about funding basic research - how come these independent institutes and government funding agencies don't get equity (warrants, options, whatever) in the entities that ultimately commercialize and patent this research?

I reckon they probably take some cut as a licensing fee, but seems like participating in the upside would create significant incentives over the current regimes.
> or in person

Interestingly I think all conversations that I have had in-person, with someone or a group of people I know, have been civil. In fact the only times where I was able to have healthy discussions were in-person.

Healthy online discussions with people I know in the real world? Nope.
Healthy online discussions with people I don't know in the real world? Doubly nope.

Given their moves on Snap after the disappointing results from Meta, not many frequent 'gain' posts on SNAP and the surprised response from wsb on the earnings results, it's clear that the majority of them purchased puts.

Maybe that's why Amazon was much more of an unsurprising bet for most speculators than Snap was, which explains this whole confusion. 60% up sounds like a good deal for anyone who just bought the dip in shares before market close.
In the US I see many dump trucks pulling trailers with a very long extension rod (the thing that connects to the motorized truck; I don’t know the actual name for it). Even on the Puget Sound I see them entering the ferries with a ton of wasted space.

Do you have any idea why dump trucks make them self so much longer without providing any more load capacity?

Edit: Here is an example. You could fit another truck in the space between the truck and the trailer: https://d2uhsaoc6ysewq.cloudfront.net/53248/Dump-Trucks-West...
Seems a narrative needs to be communicated, so Asian Americans who are doing better than whites are excluded.
> but the flu vaccine doesn't seem worth it for me

Such a confusing, yet common stance. The flu vaccine is free, risk is essentially nil, and it reduces your chance of death across the board[1]:

> At a median follow‐up duration of 19.5 months, influenza vaccine was associated with a lower risk of all‐cause mortality (RR, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.60–0.93 [P=0.01]), cardiovascular mortality (RR, 0.82; 95% CI, 0.80–0.84 [P<0.001]), and major adverse cardiovascular events (RR, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.80–0.94 [P<0.001]) compared with control. The use of the influenza vaccine was not associated with a statistically significant reduction of myocardial infarction (RR, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.49–1.09 [P=0.12]) compared with control.

It's the biggest no-brainer since seatbelts.

On the contrary. Their S1 platform started in 2005. They continue to produce great new products with S2, yet S1 stuff continues to function, it just runs ships-in-the-night for those of us with both. Frankly, I'm amazed and impressed they retained compatibility for as long as they did. I have other electronic devices in my possession with such functional longevity, but I can count them on one hand, and none of the others try to perform anything remotely so sophisticated as a Sonos player does.

These allegations of being intentionally malicious / consumer hostile don't stand up to scrutiny, nor to comparison with known examples of planned obsolescence in consumer electrical, such as Canon inkjets or Bosch kitchen appliances.
> or placement of bedrooms, I think the question is where else to put them. I guess they could have the office/4th bedroom next to the master

Do I really need to tell you why it’s better to not share a bedroom wall with your children? :). If I had a choice, I 100% wouldn’t.
Vaccine mandates are lawful and constitutional, and well supported by science.
True but not with the same tiny size and battery life. GPS and mobile connectivity are big power drains.

Definitely interested in collaborating. My skillsets range from web (NextJS, React), React Native, native iOS, native Android, embedded systems (firmware and hardware).

I have a 12 year old autistic son. He attends ABA therapy. I am also looking to create tools and apps that can help him communicate better. Also, he's very musical, so I am looking at better ways to help him learn piano (he loves Simply Piano but I want something that let's me define a custom lesson plan based on MIDI files of songs he loves).
Firefox battery on macos is also bad, so same argument. Their market share on android vs chrome isn’t worth mentioning, so I don’t even know that it’s a better choice.
> that prevents you from shooting yourself in the foot, look elsewhere.

I remember having to re-run the installation many times, from selecting the wrong options during installation.
You don't mention what B and C are doing exactly, without which is hard to know the true value of your labor in relation to theirs. What is sales and support exactly (are they getting new contracts, are they generating revenue, etc)? What is the product owner doing at such an early stage?

I always count the technical founder of a SaaS or tech startup as at least equal to the business people, and oftentimes more, because most business people cofounders are just people with ideas and no actual talent in procuring and securing funds.
If you watch YouTube you'll notice there are lots of folks who edit out silences and disfluences. It really depends on what kind of video you're making :)

Things don't need to physically exist to have value.

And, lo and behold, stocks do exist physically. We just agree to have brokers hold the physical copy and everyone instead just trades the rights to it.
Slackware taught me a lot about Linux. Eventually I got lazy and moved on (things were just easier to install on Mint/Ubuntu) but I owe Patrick big time.

I think I'm going to give this a whirl for old times sake.
You clearly have no kids, nor have you never dealt with any for any length of time.
Charts tend to misinterpret, or not reveal the whole picture.

I would be cautious when reading these kinda charts from non-scientific community.

Who knows what kind of biases are lurking there at data collection and interpretation level
Disrespect for Bieber fans seems like a core value of being a Bieber fan.
Their website is glorious in a retro kind of way. Installed lynx just to enjoy the text experience.
School busses only rarely get on the highway, most collisions happen on low speed secondary roads, which are rarely fatal. Plus the sheer mass of the bus means it doesn't get thrown around as much as a car would in an accident.
That's at least one use-case I hadn't thought of haha.

I wonder if there are any legitimate non-dark pattern use-cases.
It's just people that don't have kids tell everyone how to deal with kids.

I guess they never tried putting masks on cats and dogs either.
People in general can’t look at things as systems or have any understanding of probability or nuance. So trying to communicate a clear message to get people to voluntarily perform a pro-social action that doesn’t have 100% certainty turns out to be incredibly difficult. Mix in that most Western countries are highly individualistic, the existence of anti-vaxxers, the spread of things like QAnon and it’s an up hill battle.

I’ve heard engineers complain saying things like “I got the vaccine, how come I haven’t gotten all my freedoms back yet? Why did I bother?” in the middle of an out break. The people whose job it is to look at complex systems fall short. Maximising their chances of getting severely ill is seen as an inconvenience.

Was there any other possible outcome?
So, by a metric you yourself admit is flawed (and I assume it is flawed, I couldn't find any methodology from statcounter), the initial claims were off by 15%, which is a huge mistake and significantly weakens any 'monopoly' argument.

> OS market share is higher than that as some Mac users will use Chrome or Firefox, but no users of other platforms use Safari.

No, and the source you initially provide show this not to be the case: https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/all/united-states...

OS marketshare is actually lower than browser marketshare. Mac users using Chrome or Firefox have nothing to do with it, since the heuristic statcounter relies on, the User Agent, contains clear information about which OS is being used.
>You can't declare rental income as "income" to qualify for mortgage loans.

You can, but [typically] not until you have a solid history (a few years) of that rental income and it will be lender dependent. You also can't typically use future/potential income from a property to qualify for a mortgage for THAT property but you could for a business loan. That business loan will have a much higher interest rate and likely require you to put up other collateral or personal guarantee.
Why would netflix and youtube agree to that? What's in it for them? The way it's described seems like Verizon has no recourse if they just refuse to sign such an agreement with Verizon.
> Ubuntu then came along in the 2000's, around the time that RedHat got bought by IBM

IBM bought Red Hat only three years ago.
The markets and incentives are pretty screwy right now, but overbuilding solar is probably one of our best strategies at preparing for the future in the current moment. There are a number of reasons for this, in no particular order:

Batteries still need to come down in cost before they are economical for residential energy storage. But once they become cost effective, they are fairly easy to add to existing installations, where as adding additional panels is much more difficult.

EV adoption is going to mean much more demand in the future. And the nice thing about EV's is they are great for flex demand, i.e. we can charge them when the sun is out.

Electrification of homes means we need to provide enough capacity to meet demand in both the summer and winter months. Due to solar output being much lower in winter, and because solar is so cheap, it makes sense to build a large enough system to cover winter demand (it might not be the most economical decision right now for the individual, but this is the best path forward for getting to a 100% carbon free grid).

Basically, our best strategy in the current moment, with current incentives is to just massively overbuild solar. As you have discovered, this is a bit wonky in practice, especially thanks to utilities pushing back heavily on residential solar (see PG&E). In the meantime, maybe consider taking the $0.01 payout, or get a bitcoin miner, or better yet use your excess electricity to power a DIY algae farm and help remove CO2 from the atmosphere.
Yes.

In the US a lot more truck drivers are owner operators, so yes to the financial independence part.
They aren't scare quotes tho. They're fairly regularly used around "right to repair" movement. It sets it off as a recognizable unit as we don't have a single word in english for "right to repair"
I disagree with every one of your statements.

> To my eyes vaccine mandates are not, in general, human rights violations. They just are not.

We're talking specifically about the Covid vaccine mandates, not mandates in general. I think there's certainly a serious debate to be had on whether these morally questionable Covid policies are human rights violations.
Trucks (almost all cabover) are limited to 80km/h in Japan, even in highway limited to 120km/h for cars.

What tools did you use for timing and benchmarking beyond the tools included in the go distribution?
This has happened to me with Roller Coaster Tycoon (laying out the paths in particular), and for a non-digital example, jigsaw puzzles.

I also have Minecraft dreams if I've been playing a lot.
That's a non sequitur. Your claim was that there has never been a mandate that interfered with "basic commerce". Your interlocutor was disputing that claim. Whether such a mandate is morally equivalent to chattel slavery is an entirely different claim.
Net bandwidth is somewhat similar.

During the first dotcom bubble back in the 1990s, the colocation companies (predecessors to today's cloud companies) sold bandwith based on peak bandwidth usage. It was called the 95/5 plan. It worked like this. They measured my egress data and stored it for every five minutes in the month. At the end of the month they'd calculate the 95th percentile of all those five-minute measurements and then charge me for that.

In other words, I paid for peak egress. Now AWS just bills US$0.09 per gigabyte. Their billing algorithm doesn't care about my peak load. And I have to pay just as much for the rest of the year as I would pay on Cyber Monday, when Amazon's bandwidth is spoken for by their own servers. That's a dislocation.

Lots of stuff works that way. Electricity, water, sewer, highway tolls.

Regulated monopoly electric grid operators traditionally get their rates set as a percentage of the value of their accumulated capital physical plant: turbines, poles, cables, transformers, switches, the land they sit on, and all that. Part of that cost is fixed, but most of it varies with the amount of power they sell.

Net billing for domestic solar electric panels isn't fair to the electric grid operator. When I connect to them on a net-zero tariff, I basically get 100%-efficient power storage for free. They're my battery, and a fine battery they are.

The local grid has an excellent pumped-storage hydroelectric rig. It's about 70% efficient, and it's about 70 miles from here. Shouldn't I pay something for all that if I use it? (The Northfield Mountain storage facility was originally built to store the Vermont Yankee nuclear plant's overnight output for peak load, and it outlasted the nuclear plant.)
Please remember that whatever you think you’re learning about the economics of the trucking business, the people involved in this represent less than 10% of the truckers in Canada — and they also have no clue how little their protest matters as it is the _American_ mandate preventing the moronic holdouts from crossing the the border.
> This is objectively false. There are laws, which are enforced by courts, that provide sufficient deterrent.

Round and round we go. The OP of this chain was correctly stating that police rarely even investigate theft.

> if you respond to property loss with violence, you deserve anything bad that happens to you.

What a horrible thing to say. I don't think I'll reply here anymore, it's obviously going nowhere good.
One good thing about data from Sequoia is that they handle payroll for a lot of companies. They know exactly what companies are paying each of their employees, so it's a really good data set from that perspective. It's not self-reported by employees, for example.
In a capitalist economy you may sometimes have a breadline, however in a centrally planned economy you sometimes have bread
