> Swizzling a swab in their nostrils (…) could well cause instant, significant distress if they have a hypersensitivity disorder or other trauma.

This is like saying that it’s absolute torture to make kids walk up two flights of stairs, and then when rebutted by someone else saying the kids will be fine, trotting out that some kids are in wheelchairs.

Yeah, some kids are special needs. It is intellectually dishonest to trot that out as an opposition to a general thing. Some kids legitimately cannot wear masks for various reasons. Some kids probably can’t handle being swabbed nasally. And some kids can’t walk up stairs. This is why we have accommodations while general guidelines apply to kids who do not have these uncommon issues. We still expect kids to learn math and to run around in PE even though some kids unfortunately can’t do either of those things.

> or around the back of their throat

I don’t know anyone who has ever swabbed their kid’s throat for COVID. Maybe that’s a thing some places. Sounds unpleasant although most kids would survive that just fine, too.

I don't think "stitching" is the problem per se; taking off-the-shelf parts can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on the parts and how they're used. I mean, is there any difference between stitching together cron and a couple shell scripts vs stitching together kafka and node, other than how many components are and how well suited they are to the job and environment? It sounds like your problem is with people who have new-shiny syndrome and try to force their latest interest into their work regardless of whether it makes sense.

HEPA fiters are revolutionary, but they don't quite qualify as new innovation do they?

N95 masks have been around for ages as well. I have ideas of course on how they could be improved, as I am sure many others do, but it gets drowned out daily by all the nonsense of debating whether masks are even effective... We can't deny that politicizing mask effectiveness is in the same distraction bag as flat earth debates, but somehow we all just shrug it off not realizing that it is what clouds real discussion about meaningful innovation.

No one is disparaging the innovation behind mRNA vaccines, that is not a related or accurate talking point, it's a side-track.
Ah. So organisms such as oyster mushrooms can eat oil in contaminated soil and bring it back into something that plants can grow on.

It also depends on how you are composting. The main problem with composting oily food is that the oil goes rancid. There are solutions for that.

Black Soldier Flies Larvae can eat that stuff, and are symbiotic to human activity. (They stay in one place, drive out the other species of flies, and don't go after humans). If you have a red earthworm composting bin, you'd feed the BSFL stuff that you don't want to feed the worms. (You'd feed the worms the best stuff and give the rest to the BSFL).

Industrial composters will just throw them all in big piles and they will eventually compost. Some might implement ideas from Paul Stamets and cultivate fungi on the heaps to help it break down faster.

> If lucrative careers and some middle-class opportunities were largely shut off to minorities and women, whoever was left was suddenly a more valuable resource than they really were.

For me, this was one of the most interesting takeaways. It seems obvious in retrospect, but was something that had never actually occurred to me.

To me, this appears to show that it would be in the best interests of employers to fight against discrimination and promote equality of opportunity; as this will naturally lead to a larger employment pool, and thus lower wages.
These are all different problems with different causes, aren't they?

Even if The Gulag Archipelago was mostly fictitious, which it certainly is not, it would still be a staggering work of literary brilliance. There is quite literally no other work I'm aware of in Western literature that is even comparable. The prose is incredible, moving, at times dark and punishing, and in a turn hilarious and you really feel the wight of the exercise of having written the thing while reading it.

The broad facts are well supported by what's come out of Soviet archives since the 90s and further details are supported by the Mitrokhin Archive. The surviving Stasi archives also paint a similar picture.
Make the Russian people suffer hoping they revolt, because freezing the foreign assets of the oligarchy is too dangerous. Got it.
We have been planning an "eject" feature that would let you develop in our app, but then export your artifact as a docker image you can spin up in your own cluster (or whatever). This is a necessity for customers who require on-premise deployments.

This mini-thread accidentally explains why the West don't, won't, and can't care about Azerbaijan/Armenia violence: it's fucking incomprehensible. Tribes killing each other for generations, for complicated reasons that no one without a relevant PhD will understand. It seems intractable, so we throw up our hands and focus elsewhere, somewhere with a simpler narrative.

Everyone gets uptight about the word "uncivilized," but this kind of generational tribal conflict _is_ a failure of civilization. I don't know what causes civilization (it sure ain't skin tone), but without clear villain/victim narratives, and heroes to root for (brave Ukrainians fighting for their own liberation), no one will care. And that's tragic, too, but it's not a commentary on the underlying tragedy of human suffering and death, that people in every nation hurt the same.
Wow! That should be the real headline story. "Western" (w.t.f. does that mean?) state destroys freedom of speech in order to save it from Russia.
As much as the West operates in an environment of a free and open media, there aren't a lot of "dissenting" views being carried in any mainstream media. This has partially led to another dangerous situation for democracy, where trust of the media has eroded because large swaths of viewpoints aren't being carried, and people turn to "non-traditional" sources to get counterpoints. This gives rise to the bubbles we see forming on social media - conspiracy theorists, anti-vaxxers (which has become a ridiculously large brush these days, including even people who have reservations about brand new vaccines), battle lines can be drawn among almost any dimension.

Not to say what Russia is doing is comparable - the country has no concept of free press and dissent simply isn't possible, you will be jailed for 15 years if lucky (poison is also possible). Only to say, that no country has really figured out how to have a healthy democracy in the internet age of eroding media influence and the rise of social circles which can espouse almost any viewpoint to a large audience.

January 6 is a precursor to what can happen if we don't figure this out.

The Chinese Exclusion/Geary acts weren't even repealed until the 1940s, when they "generously" allowed ~100 to immigrate per year. It prevented naturalization on grounds of ethnicity, prevented extant residents from coming back if they left, and restricted land ownership. Then there was that whole Japanese internment camp and mass land seizure thing too. (Check out how much California farm land is worth now: it was a generational theft on a massive scale.)

The earlier half of the 20th century was an awful time to be asian in America, and the systematic suppression of generational wealth for purely racial reasons is not an effect that just goes away overnight.
> "Rights with wiggle room" are not rights.

Sure they are.

I have the right to free speech, but your rights mean I can't exercise it by shouting at 3am in your living room.

I have the right to free exercise of religion, but I'm not allowed to exercise the Sacrament of Nuking Chicago as part of my services.

Deciding which rights win out in these scenarios are where the courts come in. Europe acknowledges that; the US kinda had to "discover" it as an option and invent space in the Constitution for it in spots.

GMaps is good when I'm using it for navigation, but exploration is clearly not its intent, which is probably why I take so much issue with it. My utility company seems to use an SPA for their portal, and I've never had an issue with it, since everything I need it to do is readily accessible.

I've yet to try setting up GPU or PCIe passthrough, but I imagine that they wouldn't take up too much overhead on their own. It isn't 1:1 comparable to your situation, but Linus Tech Tips has a few videos titled something like "X gamers on 1 machine", which shows it's doable.

Having a guest OS in a VM would likely be the bigger performance bottleneck (with extra input lag), and I'm pretty sure that some anticheat software detects and discriminates against being run in a VM. I'd sooner try to get a game in a working state on the Linux OS with Proton or Wine, and drop down to installing on Windows if it fails or gets too fussy.
Most of it is still running because it's needed. Same goes for the exports to the US.

In fact there is pressure in Switzerland to block the trading of gas since 80% is done here but it would hurt the EU so there is no way this will be done unless the EU decides that they also want to sanction this.

The blocking of Swift also has an exclusion for trading of this gas.
Your critique appears to assume that every tech company or startup begins by offering below market rates. That's not universal, and who knows, maybe they had a seed round and were able to pay people appropriately. They were also founded in 2008, it was a different time in the market anyway.

Looking at Crunchbase's list of articles, the earliest news story from May '08 mentions that it was a four-man startup that was completely virtual. Don't know how that lasted, but not having an office certainly frees up the budget to pay people.

America only invested because they thought these countries would turn to communism otherwise. We don't do things out of the goodness of our hearts.

Doesn't seem like we support free trade either when we've had wars over forcing other countries to let us sell Opium to their populace. At other times though like WW2 when our allies asked us to stop selling things to the third Reich all we cared about was free trade. Almost like it's a political football for whatever interests are more relevant to the American ruling class at a given point in time.

The conflict today could have been potentially avoided had the West prioritized a democratic Russia vs one friendly to Western business interests. Instead our intelligence agencies funded and supported Putin, and encouraged him to brutally crack down on dissidents. We reap what we sow. Just a modern-day Pinochet

> We supported him when he did that.

And that's irrelevant to whether taking him down was a good decision. Either before or after. Once again, I didn't support the war at the time, and I think the casualties are horrifying. However, it's not even close to the same thing.

> And during the 90s, we instituted sanctions that killed half a million Iraqi children. That's 100 children for every single person who died in Halabja.

You don't really weigh moral wars this way. For instance, the Nazis killed 6 million in the concentration camps. However, an estimated total of 70–85 million people perished in World War 2, or about 3% of the 1940 world population. However, nobody frames World War 2 as "costing 10 lives for everyone who died in the camps" and therefore a bad idea.

That is me, and I account for time off during day to play with my 10 month son by spending an extra hour after dinner finishing up work.

WfH gives me the flexibility to do that. WfH also means I don't have to take an entire day off if my son has a mid-day doctors appointment. Everyone wins.

The thing is, they don't complement each other at all. They both compete for the same share of the market: the cheapest most inflexible power generation. Renewables win there and force nuclear plants to be more flexible.

Due to the extremely high fixed costs and lower marginal costs of nuclear plants they then have to make the money back in fewer hours, driving cost even higher.

The other issue is the costly steam turbine side. The reason gas won over coal is the efficiency and tiny footprint of gas turbines. Tack on a tiny steam side for the last percent of efficiency and you have a CCGT plant. Coal and nuclear share the same steam side, both have been dead ends since the 80s.

Ask HN: Self-hosted open source IP security cameras?
There are many options for IP security cameras and multi-camera setups. Ubiquiti, Foscam, Nest, Ring, and all of the things. But they all involve running untrusted internet connected devices on a local network. I want to improve my physical security with these devices without providing nodes to some future DDoS botnet or whatever else these poorly secured IoT devices will get repurposed for. I also don't want my system to be useless if the internet goes down or if BigCompany decides to change their terms or drop service for their APIs or whatever else.

Wondering if anyone has had success in setting up a self-hosted (maybe open source) camera system for their site? And if so, any advice? recommendations? sources for information that you found useful?

It would take at least three seeds at Comcastic upload speeds (~10Mbps) to handle a single client at 25Mbps with a small buffer. You'd need a multiple of seeds proportionate to the ratio of stream rate to buffer size. Not ever seeder will have every bit of content, or even every bit of the top 1% of content for a large corpus. Because a large portion of clients will be leechers unable to reseed (mobile, shitty residential routers, etc) the network would need a huge number of seeders with even modest popularity.

And that return is pennies on the dollar compared to the two trillion spent on the war. $2T buys you a whole whack of oil you can subsidize for your people.
