No. I'm quite directly responding to the comment above mine, which is about hospitalization.

user consp said: "[the vaccine] massively prevents hospitalization and severe side effects, including death"

user otabdeveloper4 replied: "Statistics show otherwise. [I do] math and statistics for a living"

To which I replied that severe COVID hospitalizations (i.e. ICU) are dominated by unvaxxed.

I know, but the US-Press always try to make something political, even when it's a cultural thing (and the only way to survive in the past..working together).

Absolutely on your side...and as someone from Switzerland i think we tend more and more towards the Scandinavian model.
I strongly disagree with this interpretation. In my view, a person maintaining infrastructure is a position of power and therefore should be held to specific standards in regards to how it treats users.

Users on the other hand are just people. Being a user on a service does not grant you power over other users (not out-of-the-box anyway). Sure you can scan for vulns and/or follow a public link to a top-secret document: in my view that's nothing wrong. Now reverse the situation: why should a remote server administrator dictate the computing performed on your machine?! Is it ethical for some website operators to start scanning your local network?

A service operator knows about threats, hopefully has counter-measures in place, and can always ban you (or specific requests) if it comes to that. A user is mostly helpless, especially when it comes to computations performed by a script you unconsciously downloaded and executed from a server. How many users are aware of what RCE even means and that a web browser with JS enabled is essentially RCE-as-a-service?
I can totally see Sundar Pichai riding a sandworm.
The comment above me, which I was replying to, is not about flights but is instead claiming that the vaccine does not help prevent hospitalization, which I pointed out is patently false.

'build distribution' = this really is audience / channel building. And how you do it really depends on who is going to be buying your stuff. For example, I currently sell to recruiters (strange I know!). So my distro is a build a powerful presence on LinkedIn (where recruiters hang out), run newsletters, do podcasts / livestream, build community around recruiting content.

This is full time for me though, so the above approach may not be suitable for everyone. The idea of building audience though, is relevant no matter what you do
It’s AngularJS being killed, not Angular, which is the framework that’s current.
> 5 times more likely to be hospitalized with COVID-19 compared with fully vaccinated 12-34 year- olds.

This can mean that the risk of hospitalization goes from 0.01% to 0.05%, which isn't something most people would care about. With statistics like that we need absolute numbers, not relative. Your post is basically an example of "how to scare people with meaningless stats".
Yes! I'm so pleased to see this, only because I had the same idea and went ahead and implemented it with playwrite. I also added the ability to add annotations, ie overlayed text, and outlines, ie borders, on certain elements I want to highlight, focus on, explain.

My main problem is that I still had to write the code to do the work (go there, click there, wait for that, etc etc). The good thing was that it took video and screenshots, and embedded them into docusaurus markdown that then built our docs pages.

Seeing other people doing the same makes me think it wasn't such a bad idea after all.. Maybe I should get back on it..

Thanks!
Sure, it's the law, screw ethics, that's how it works, right?
There are two extensions in Firefox neither of which blocks the video. Music Mode for YouTube™ is the only extension that blocks the video entirely until now. These two extensions are Youtube Audio (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-audio...) and Audio Only for YouTube™ (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/audio-only-fo...). The second one is better and the one that recommend. Both have bugs and they do not block the video but they are better from nothing. I plan to create a version of Music Mode for YouTube™ for Firefox but, you know, it is difficult to spend a lot of time for things that you earn nothing.

I think it is more that they do not go the "everything must be React" route, that gives them an advantage in that part of the frontend. Way less complex than the whole react ecosystem and it's "components".
> Is there any evidence that the thousands of Americans who have gone vegan over the last few years have reduced the carbon footprint of the meat producing industry at all?

Reminds me of the covid prevention paradox.

> the numbers are basically flat since 2000 increasing slightly since 2014.[1]

Looking at beef production numbers of a single country is pretty meaningless.

For one, you'd want to look at consumption. Production can be influenced by changing import or export balances without a change in consumption. You can also look at global production figures.

Two, you'd want to look at per capita numbers, to correct for population changes.

Three, you'd want to look at meat generally. (nitpicky) Beef is just one type of meat, it says a lot but not everything. Could be that dietary / health / business preferences shift to or away from e.g. chicken, that aren't related to veganism.

Four, you'd want a more sophisticated research method that'll indicate that veganism is a causal factor for meat consumption than a simple consumption graph. In countries rapidly developing economically (e.g. China), the meat consumption figures would be rising hard with or without say the percentage of vegans doubling from 20% to 40%, that doesn't disprove the impact of the extra 20% vegans. It only shows that other forces (e.g. economic growth) have outweighed the vegan impact, but it doesn't prove that without these extra 20% vegans meat consumption wouldn't be even far higher. % of population that's vegan would definitely show up as a causal variable across countries, almost obviously.
Same here, one thing I find especially annoying with Bing/DDG/Brave is that they not only return worse results, but sometimes completely nuke certain search terms, e.g. try "aoi jav" (NSFW) in Bing image and video search. It gives zero results. Regular text search gives a few, but also looks heavily censored. Try the same thing in Google and you get millions of results.

Don't fully understand what is going on here. Safe search is disabled. Worse results would be expected, but zero results seems like an excessive amount of censorship. Other similar search terms work fine.

Do browsers share cache across domains? Seems like an easy vector to poison.
Correcting just one side will incentivize a higher number of unruly people in the opposing side.

It would be best to reduce or eliminate unrulyness, not just move it around, even if it ends in a small reduction.
You are correct. I just don't think that's a reasonable state of affairs. If that was part of a p2p model (eg. torrent/IPFS) it could be considered a reasonable tradeoff to allow for more eco-friendly (shorter routes, no need for high-powered servers) retrieval scheme.

Hyperlinks are the foundation of the web. However, when we started loading resources (eg. images) from third parties due to high bandwidth/disk cost, we opened a Pandora's box which i believe does more harm than good.
It's been a little while since i had to work in the React + TypeScript project (nowadays use Vue more often) so it's not fresh in my memory, but sure!

For starters, even your example shows the awkwardness somewhat, it is essentially the same as writing the following (if you don't need the interface elsewhere):

const Component: React.FC<{ prop1: string, prop2: number }> =
({prop1, prop2}) => {
return ...
}

Suppose i want to add a new property: now i need to do it in two places (the interface definition, with either syntax). Want to remove one? Same story. Rename one? Sure, your IDE should let you do this, but the change is still necessary in two places. Why couldn't i do something like this instead (the answer is that the language is just not structured that way, but clearly having duplication for no good reason whatsoever isn't nice):

const Component: React.FC(prop1: string, prop2: number) => {
return ...
}

or

const Component: React.FC(props: Props) => {
return ...
}

Contrast that with a pure JS implementation (which is bad because it doesn't tell you about the individual props or their types, but surely one can also imagine just a list of different prop parameters):

function Component(props) {
return ...
}

Of course, that's more of a nitpick, but the code often reads worse than Java does in my eyes.

Another thing that i disliked was working with union types, especially when you're stuck with loosely defined objects in a legacy codebase, where you can't always work with properly structured definitions of "this one thing is a union of BASE FIELDS but also ADDITIONAL FIELDS FOR ENTITY TYPE A that won't be defined in separate places, because if we split it up for some reason this one library integration will fail to render UI components properly".

I started writing out more about that particular case, but realized that articulating precisely what was the problem in it and diving back into that older codebase to recreate code examples would take time and sadly i don't really care for doing that. But hey, JavaScript would let you just wing it and check each field individually before trying to access them, so you could let the code decide the behavior, not the type system, which is sometimes the path of least resistance. Personally, i think that strong type systems are always good in the back end, but i feel less strongly in that regard about front ends.

Also, i'm not sure that building TypeScript on top of JavaScript was the best idea: surely from a support/target platform perspective it was brilliant, but sometimes you get all sorts of awkwardness.

For example, the React TypeScript bindings themselves have something like the following:

type Booleanish = boolean | 'true' | 'false';

Oh, and in regards to TypeScript in particular (though this is also annoying in Angular etc.), their implementation of even enums is awkward. Consider that in Java you can easily turn any string into an enum value if possible and can also have enums act as containers for additional data, for example: https://www.tutorialspoint.com/how-to-convert-a-string-to-an...
Stadia is absolutely amazing.

Google are insane to not double down on it. I’m not much of a ‘gamer’ but it’s amazing just to open up chrome and be able to play flawlessly, it works so much better than other streaming services, there are so many things they could do with it but they simply haven’t, it’s ridiculous.

Why invest in the tech anyway if you don’t have a plan for it afterwards? It seems they misunderstood what was needed in the space and then just walked away, instead of adjusting. The tech is great, the opportunity here for Google is huge, backing out is going to be a huge mistake.
The "if done right" portions of the comment are huge ifs though and almost no one does it right.

Under Search tools there is a toggle for all results/verbatim. If you switch it to verbatim it will give you something closer to you want. I hate that it is this way, and that most of the old google hacking tricks don't work.

The problem is that Google is no longer a search engine for the world wide web. It is an app that can answer questions, that happens to also have a web front end
> If you're so certain, it means you already have reliable data for attribution. Why do you need Facebook's tracking to confirm it to you?

We were in unique situation with this one campaign where, quite right, we knew where our conversions were coming from as we were confident there was no other source. Within a few weeks we had other campaigns running and no longer could have the same level of confidence.

The point it outside of this unique situate of a new product only marketed on Facebook the conversion attribution on their platform is broken. This is affecting marketers decision making process and reducing the spend on that platform.

The interesting thing is we were able to see the affect of Apples change quite clearly. Most people are not able to see that.

Sarcastic tone isn't helpful.

I am asking what is the alternative explanation why the US covid ICU hospitalizations are dominated (upwards of 90%) by unvaccinated people. If the vaccine were ineffective against hospitalization --as you claimed-- wouldn't the ICU unvaxxed percentage be 50%? I'm legitimately interested to hear if there's an alternative explanation (besides "All the hospitals in the US are lying").

> I provide critique that some (probably many) Ruby developers don't like

> Imagine a ruby gem that ... Does this make any sense? Nope. That's why people don't monkeypatch in their libraries.

This can happen any day because of infinite types of mistakes a programmer can make. Monkey patching is just one technique you have at your disposal and as with everything else, you have to know when to use it, how and why.

> It's interesting that you mention respect here - ActiveSupport doesn't respect ...

What do you mean doesn't respect? ActiveSupport is a tool without feelings and stances and believes. You can either use it or not use it. And actually i want ActiveSupport to do exactly what it does, patch all the things and give me tons of nice methods i need.

Yeah, so if you want your library to work with Rails, because *you want* Rails users adopt your lib, you have to make some effort right? Well that's how it works with anything. If you don't like it for whatever reason why don't you find some place where they do it exactly your way, or why don't you build it? I mean i like the way how Rails and the other things around work and that's why i use it. So if you want adoptions for your library from me, you have to kind of a do it the same way.
If we have a monitor that has a brightness of 1600 nits, and whites of some content ("sdr") shows up much dimmer, the pixels the monitor is asked to display by the systmes are dimmed relative to max brightness - no?
Summary of the issue:

"The FAA received reports earlier this year of three incidents of display
electronic unit (DEU) software errors on Model 737 NG airplanes flying into
runway PABR in Barrow, Alaska. All six display units (DUs) blanked with a
selected instrument approach to a runway with a 270-degree true heading, and
all six DUs stayed blank until a different runway was selected. [...] The
investigation revealed that the problem occurs when this combination of
software is installed and a susceptible runway with a 270-degree true
heading is selected for instrument approach. Not all runways with a
270-degree true heading are susceptible; only seven runways worldwide, as
identified in this AD, have latitude and longitude values that cause the
blanking behavior."

(Note that this is all 6 displays on each plane, not 2 displays on each of three planes.)

The runways in question are:

* Runway 26, Pine Bluffs, Wyoming, USA (82V)

* Runway 28, Wayne County, Ohio, USA (KBJJ)

* Runway 28, Chippewa County, Michigan, USA (KCIU)

* Runway 26, Cavern City, New Mexico, USA (KCNM)

* Runway 25, Barrow, Alaska, USA (PABR)

* Runway 28, La Mina, La Guajira, Colombia (SKLM)

* Runway 29, Cheddi Jagan, Georgetown, Guyana (SYCJ)

(The numbers are magnetic bearings, whereas the problem is apparently related to true bearing.)

> Suppose you were running a capability-secure operation system, or that your mail system was written in a capability-secure programming language. In either case, each time an executable program in your email executed, each time it needed a capability, you the user would be asked whether to grant that capability or not. So Melissa, upon starting up, would first find itself required to ask you, "Can I read your address book?" Since you received the message from a trusted friend, perhaps you would say yes - neither Melissa nor anything else can hurt you just by reading the file. But this would be an unusual request from an email message, and should reasonably set you on guard.

> Next, Melissa would have to ask you, "Can I have a direct connection to the Internet?" At this point only the most naive user would fail to realize that this email message, no matter how strong the claim that it came from a friend, is up to no good purpose. You would say "No!"

That sounds like a usability nightmare.

Also it is something that users ignore even at the coarse level of application permissions on mobile phones - imagine having Every.Single.Action on a computer do that. Instead of just people ignoring those, they'd turn outright hostile to any application doing that.
I think the biggest problem with this is that Preact is not a 100% drop-in replacement for React. The devil is in the details. The programmers will casually follow online answers from stackoverflow or blog post regarding React and apply them to the Preact project. This will work more often than not, but from time to time you can run strange bugs, which only happens on Preact and it takes much time to detect and debug them.
Well the good thing about nyxt is it's super extensible so a PoC doesn't require proper "reception" on their side.

Do you maybe have a gateway/bridge to a libre network such as IRC/XMPP/Matrix? I find HTMX pretty interesting but i wouldn't touch discord with a 10-foot pole, if only because my limited computing resources won't allow for such a resource-hungry app to run in the background.

It seems like matterbridge supports discord backend but i don't have a discord account to try it with. If you're not willing to host matterbridge, i'm already hosting one and i would just need credentials to try and connect it to Discord.

Depending on the place, it can mean different things. I've seen it also mean "team member" or used for senior engineers whose roles (navigating across different teams on short/mid-term important/investigation/transformation projects not necessarily visible on the official R&D roadmap) makes it difficult to attach them to a particular team/specific role.

The people and places that handled well this level of fuzziness do so _thanks to_ a good amount of trust, care and shared vision.
Just approach it from a planetary scale. Total planetary demand is local + overseas demand. Suppose it was 5 + 5 units = 10.

If you reduce local demand by 2 and overseas demand remains at 5, then total demand will go down to 8.

Any economics 101 course will teach you that reducing demand will the equilibrium price, at which price point fewer suppliers are willing to supply. The end result is less production, less consumption on the planet.

As a thought experiment, imagine 90% of the world population disappears tomorrow (demand disappears). Will we produce just as much, simply because the remaining 10% will consume more? The answer is obviously no.

Demand/supply curves aren't flat, so indeed the change will not be 1:1. It's not the case that if 10% stop eating meat, that total consumption will drop by 10%. But demand reduction from one group does lead to a total production reduction and a total reduction in consumption.

Ask HN: Why modern computers and “smart” devices are so not safe?
I have noticed that having a computer becomes kind of mandatory for every person, as having a phone number has become. I am not talking about PC with Linux where I feel safe and no need to stick a webcam with a piece of tape. I am talking about smartphone where I feel a need to have some different smartphones for every different app, in order to kind of not letting my bank to know whan I'm watching on my tiktok.

Is there any movements to make citizen's smartphones safe for owner from Google or Apple despite using some apps from their application stores? Are there any cars w/o proprietary software except of some cars w/o computers? How does that happened?
