>The shots we received dont really seem to do anything against covid.

Doesnt prevent infection. Doesn't prevent symptoms. Doesn't prevent spreading.

The only current backpedaled 'benefit' from the vaccine is 'it reduces symptoms' which puts it on par with tylenol.

>Anyway. I'd say we are still a few years away from having a covid "vaccine".

The mrna tech failed for decades because it failed.

That said, should we not work toward a viral vaccine that works? Perhaps we could eliminate all these viral ailments. That would be a huge success for humanity.

That’s what makes these keys so secure. Most people I know keep one on their person (keychain), one in a locations they have easy access to (hidden at home), and one off-site. You still have a password as the first line of defense so don’t overthink it.
Well that is just foolish. I am an atheist but I find Catholic Bishop Robert Barron on Girard fascinating and great at explaining Girard.

Girard is one of the great theologians and a historic figure. Thiel is not a historical figure.
When I looked at toolbar, I was reminded of GIMP, the UI of which is such a nightmare that I would not use it even if someone pays me to do so. It's just TOO crowded. And the contrast is terrible in the dark mode.

Please, launch OneNote or any popular note-taking app on iPad, and just copy whatever they are doing. It's going to be much cleaner and more accessible.
> This is a roundabout way of saying "never build an online game for kids / I have no idea how Minecraft hasn't been sued over this yet"

Can someone shed more light on this? Could Minecraft really (successfully) be sued if someone builds a dong and a kid sees it? How does this differ from kids being exposed to explicit material on social media?
In other words, the belief is pragmatic.
It does. Don't let the best to be an enemy of the good. World is not painted in black and white, it isn't even in shades of gray. Even colors of rainbow wouldn't be enough, because they can be mixed in the real world. Black and white is such an oversimplification, that it is surprising that there are cases when it works.
I guess the big thing this hypothetical world would solve is a situation where demand exceeds current supply of trained experts.

For example, during peak covid there was actually a shortage of certain health care workers because they were all either sick or already overworked.

Here in this hypothetical world could transform some people instantly into health care workers.

Also obsolete workers could be instantly retrained and put back to good use in society.

I wouldn’t mind a switch that could allow to immediately speak Spanish and Mandarin fluently.
> From what I can see, it has no effective rule of law; no possibility for the creation of an effective enforcement body.

In early crypto days there was a general feeling that the "power of math" (i.e. how hard it would be to break various hash/public key algorithms) is the enforcement body and the reason you don't need a government and a police force. Maybe smart people saw through that, or maybe the experiment just had to be done to see how this actually turns out in practice.

Your points are why I thought an official US crypto coin could work. But there is not that much net added value compared to what credit cards offer.
Learning math is a personal journey, it can be slow and difficult at times. No matter how smart one is, there will always be mathematics that one finds completely baffling. Generally, curiosity, motivation, patience, perseverance, maturity, and perspective are necessary ingredients to get very far.

An extraordinarily accomplished mathematician replied, when I asked him what books to study, “You don’t solve problems by reading, you solve problems by thinking.” Thinking (hard) is the key, the practice of mathematics requires and unlocks a level of clarity far beyond ordinary everyday thinking.

Try mulling over simple facts which even children know, like the Pythagorean Theorem or the Quadratic Formula, and see if you could explain them so clearly and convincingly that any reasonable person would immediately and plainly see that they must be true.

Learning is spiral. You will almost never understand everything there is to know about a subject, but you will learn more as you return to that subject as you’ve grown and matured, and have acquired more knowledge, skills, and perspective.

Apple Fails in Bid to Dismiss Amended Cydia Creator's Antitrust Lawsuit
YES. It's impossible for anybody to do every job, but being proficient at 2-3 jobs is possible and can be very good.

For example, many people are able to work in a kitchen at the same level of a cook helper or a cook.

Having a balance lifestyle is very good for mental health and general happiness. Many hobbies work like that.

Imagine working 30 hours a week as software engineer and 10 doing gardening when it's sunny, or some light carpentry, or teaching.

Additionally, a lot of people switch careers and cross-pollinating knowledge from one job into another one can be effective and rewarding.

What if we lived and worked to better ourselves instead of just paying the bills?
Years ago I had my cholesterol measured at a work sponsored health event. It was just a finger stick that they put onto a slide and then into a machine even smaller than the Theranos. Probably it's more feasible since it's only 1 test. I don't know what the possibility of getting one of those machines for personal use it though. I actually asked to keep my blood slide out of curiosity, but apparently that wasn't allowed.

Show HN: Easy to Use Kanban Board
Since the discussions here are primarily about the railway system, Deutsche Bahn and especially long distance travels, I would like to point out that most of this does not specifically apply to the 9-Euro-per-month ticket for this summer. But first, I want to agree with many of the complaints, that long distance travelling by train has its annoyances in Germany: lots of trains not on schedule, missed connections resulting from that, occasionally completely overfull trains, very bad management when something goes wrong.

However, the 9-Euro ticket is not designed for long distance travels. (You may use it as such, because some regional trains are covering quite a distance and by switching from local train to local train; just take your time.) Besides of local and regional trains, it is also valid for most of the local trams and buses as well (except some private operators, that do not participate).

The ease it provides for local transport is, what it makes really attractive for me. I do not need to think about how to get a ticket (often in advance), if I am visiting somewhere. Without any afterthought, I can use a bus downtown everywhere for just one or two stops. I can park my car somewhere outside, near a tram station and take a 10 min. ride into the centre and do not need to find out which of more than a dozent ticket options is the one I need.

All of this is mainly psychological. Even before the 9-Euro ticket, using local transport was cheaper than driving a car. And admittedly, there are still some advantages of the car, most notably that you don't have to obey a time-table. But as you might think of your car as just waiting for you to get in and go, so it is now with any bus, tram or local/regional train.
Your last statement directly contradicts your tweet on March 10th.

Either you are trying to encourage people with the money tag, or you are not doing anything and it is hard to imagine for this amount of money to be enough to move the needle for the type of person you need to make any progress on these types of big problems.

Improving something that has been optimized for years is obviously not going to be easy (which it might still be, non-obviously, but that's very unlikely). Offering a very small amount of money evaluates the required work, and by doing so pretty poorly actually devalues it. That seems bad.
Hawala is widely used, but since it does the same job as a cryptocurrency (decentralized ledger), what would be gained by adding a cryptocurrency on top of it ?
"For Raz, positivism did not arise [...] out of a difference in
status between law and morality, with morality being the more
subjective of the two. On the contrary, Raz thought morality ought
to pervade all human decision-making. Everyone is subject to moral
reasons, and it is incumbent on them – on judges as well as others
– to figure those reasons out the best way they can."

Everyone. Not merely guided or constrained by the law as a least bound
but as an active life-stance.
They've been pushing hard for growth as well, which I think is probably the single most devastating thing to an online community. There is some amount of growth that can be tolerated while maintaining a sense of community and common culture, but when the new members are pouring in by the thousands every day, that is no longer possible. Most participants will be strangers to each other.

What few subreddits have survived this are either incredibly niche, or aggressively working to make new members lurk before they post.

I'm continually amazed and worried about what google knows about me, to the point where I use duck duck go half the time now. For example, I was just watching a car video on my tv (roku youtube app) and they had a random interstitial for a "ridge wallet". It didn't even appear officially it was just part of the video. So I pause it, grab my ipad, and type "ri" and sure enough "ridge wallet" is the first suggestion. Useful and powerful? No doubt. Creepy and uncomfortable? Immensely.

The nuclear industry is dying on aggregate globally, as indicated by metrics such as market share, overall capacity or price competitiveness. Nuclear proponents often blame the cost of meeting onerous (and by implication unreasonable) regulations for the fact that it cannot compete on price.

Most of the rest of the electricity energy sector campaign for LESS regulation - the coal power industry is notable example but you see this even in the renewables space where, for example, wind producers would like to have more freedom to site turbines.

The fact that the nuclear industry puts nearly all its lobbying effort into securing financial support instead of attacking regulations, suggests that regulation is not the reason why nuclear is failing to survive but that it's simply because of price/cost.

The other notable example I can think of in the energy sector is with directly growing biofuels. A similarly uneconomic way of providing energy that couldn't exist without massive subsidy.
To the first question, it depends. If it's something you're building for a business, and its reliability is important, then you probably should understand code you're copy-pasting. For a hobby project, it's probably not as important.

The whole point of Chesterton's Fence is that there's wisdom encoded in the way things have been done. The previous guy who worked on the same module was probably somewhat competent, and in any case, the component was fulfilling business needs for all that time, so they were doing something right.
As said, this isn't about 3rd-party cookies, which our browsers block wholesale (including for 3rd-party Microsoft scripts). 3rd-party Microsoft scripts are also further restricted in our browsers with additional web protections, e.g., fingerprinting protection, Global Privacy Control, referrer header trimming, etc.

What this article is talking about specifically is one web protection that the major browsers don't even attempt to do — stopping third-party tracking scripts from even loading on third-party websites. You can see that for yourself at the bottom 'tracker content blocking' section of this audit site: https://privacytests.org/ios.html (scroll to the very bottom).

That is incorrect. Hawk-eye shows the most likely path in all the sports with 3.6 mm margin for error.

The issue is that other sports don't deal with a 50-50 probability decision.

In tennis, if the ball is 50% on the line and 50% outside the line it is still "in".

That is not the case with LBW decision. If the ball is hitting 50% on the stumps and 50% outside theb both sides can argue their case. So, often it is left as "umpire's call".

Looking forward to hearing your feedbacks.
I did exactly this during lockdown 1 in the UK to allow me to easily control OBD for online guitar lessons (I used 3 cameras plus on screen pdfs in various combinations). It worked well (I did it because no one had stream decks in stock at the time), but it was pretty fiddly to set up or modify.

I now have a steam deck xl, and it's light years better. Obviously 20x the cost, but well worth it in my opinion.

> light is apparently racist for not reflecting equally off of different skin colors

The light does what the light does, but if your software doesn’t recognize and account for the fact that it doesn’t reflect equally off different skin colors, and instead pretends that it reflects the same off of everyone, and thus classifies it’s own error as offending behavior—then yeah, your software is racist.

> This is also a somewhat misleading title since it's not about our search engine, which people would assume

I understand the controversy (or at least I think I do), and I also respect what you're trying to explain.

But if DuckDuckGo has to have a browser (instead of simply recommending to its users to change their default search engine on their current browser), then that browser needs to live up to its promises, and also to very high standards.

On the current page for the DDG browser [1] it says at the top:

> Seamlessly take control of your personal information, no matter where the Internet takes you.

If this means anything, it means the DDG browser blocks all trackers, always, in all places, no?

> People still use integrated navigation systems?

Yes. I have a ~5yro Ford Fiesta with navigation built in and I massively prefer it to using a phone app.

Its standalone (mapping is on an sd card) so I know it will still work if I'm in a remote area with poor network coverage. It also has physical, tactile buttons (no touchscreen) that my muscle memory can learn, and which don't suddenly reposition themselves at the whims of some app ux designer. It can automatically download traffic updates via bluetooth on my phone, but its otherwise "self hosted" on my car.

Basically, it just works the way I expect and doesn't try to distract me. Which is all that I need.
it's not perse about truth but it is about facts, I personally don't have a problem with downgrading lies or denies of facts. In the end of the day a algo is ranking pages, algo's can be manipulated or gamed and they are not only by lot's of marketeers but also by government agents.

While I don't believe a company should decide if an opinion about gun controle should be rankt or not. but if someone is claiming that these are just crisis actors and nothing happend I don't see a problem to block it. After all we are used to blocking spam these things are spam. I don't see a reason to treat this as any different just because they are selling political lies instate of product lies (and a lot of times these people are selling products in the end)

these kind of lies are eroding democracy and should be treaded the same way as some one yelling fire in a cinema
but wait a minute... this is just storing the private key material on the yubikey like any storage device and it is loaded and copied right off every time you use it, right?

doesn't that defeat the point of using a yubikey where the private key itself is never read from the device during authentication?

My initial thought was that there would be high offer on some jobs while low offer on others, causing high demand for some jobs and low demand for others. That would cause differences in prices for each job.

However nobody would like to pay more than they charge for their own jobs, since they're compentent in that other task too. That would lead to people spending more time with tasks they don't like because they are more expense to hire someone to do it. Sad world.

To fix that, since everybody is competent in everything, they could organize themselves to rotate the jobs. Each person would be responsible for that job for a period of time, then they'd rotate. That could work with highly regulated jobs (like medicine or politics) but wouldn't work for others (like software development, gardening, etc). That would force a lot of energy to be spent in regulation. Less freedom. Sad world.

Finally, it doesn't matter if we're leveling people's competency by the highest or lowest level of competency available in any field, if they are always the same, that means there is no growth and there would be less networking and connection among people. A sad world.

On the other hand if they started at the same level of competency but could actually become more competent by exercising some job, than we'd create a difference. Given the time and the compounding effect, these differences would grow, causing people to look each other with respect and setting targets for themselves to reach higher levels of competency in a particular field.

The differences is what makes us special. They lead to growth. We should respect all the differences.
What it would look like is human beings would be more fungible. You could easily fire workers for trivial reasons and replace them right away with new ones. Most wages would be the same with the only difference being compensation for the risk or energy required for the job.

Sorry, I'm not a native English speaker. What I meant was that the newer, improved design doesn't use steel pipes any more. Instead, solid and rectangular shaped steel is used that can't be cut with a pipe cutter any more. The page behind the link should make it clear. You can filter it by "Eckig" ("rectangular") to see the ones I mean.
Well, hopefully they get into a habit of routinely rotating the key.
