I would see a big red flag on the person if they would start discussing religion even at non-work settings, unless I know that person really well. (And if the person knows me very well, I don't think they will bother...)

Someone having religious beliefs does not give them right to rude with their colleagues, while his desire to hold certain religious beliefs respected and accommodated where appropriate (which would be discrimination if not) that does not mean people around him need to respect what he believe.

From my past encounters with religious people, I can't help notice there's mix up on this.
None of these options let you change the status quo. It's like arguing about tipping. Whether you like it or not it exists and the social norm doesn't change because of your individual decisions.
I’m confused. Did the ‘Rona get him? Or are you referring to a lawsuit?
From what I understand this is correct for the first dose. You still have few antibodies bwcause your immune system is learning about the invading new protein. In this case it seems plausible/obvious that the vaccine should be better for your body than the real infection because it can not replicate itself in an uncontrolled way.

During the second dose however, you have a immune system that is extremely armed to fight this particular protein. When you inject the second dose, a huge battle breaks out immediately. This situation can not come about naturally because we don‘t inject massive amounts of covid but rather inhale small amounts that can be easily fought off at the border by the now highly armed immune system.

I don‘t know how this could break havoc on heart cells but probably due to some collateral damage when the injected proteins reach the bloodstream.

This is an absolute layman’s understanding of things so please correct me if I‘m wrong. But I haven‘t seen this issue discussed/refuted by experts, yet.

There are definitely better and worse time to buy, but in general it's good not to delay purchase for ages.

I bought in London when prices were rising dramatically. It did feel like it was now or never at the time.

We had held off buying for years, thinking that the crazy price rises were unsustainable. We were wrong, at least on any time frame that mattered for us.

By the time we bought (I had some big pay increases) we ended up in a perfectly nice but small house that we could easily have bought for half the price 5 years earlier, and would have been affordable for us before I was better paid.
> It is abnormal for humans to need glasses. It's also abnormal for humans to need braces and to need their wisdom teeth surgically removed.

It's not. Just because there wasn't a documented cases of weakly sighted people doesn't mean that they didn't exist. Or do you seriously believe all prehistoric humans had 20/20 eyesight?

And unless your teeth are crooked line vines you probably don't need braces from medical standpoint. Unless it causes issues to your jaw. Same with wisdom teeth.

Videos and Books are Orthogonal. You switch as needed to reinforce understanding. That said, i always start with a book since they tend to be comprehensive and allow me to study at my own pace.

You are disrespecting all the non at-risk, perfectly sane people who died of covid, my cousin among them. Worst thing is I'm pretty sure you already know that these cases exist, as for the last two years there have been a lot of reports of them.

And still you chose to ignore those people, to ignore their deaths and their suffering. You are a disgrace.
Since security questions are not standardized (in the same way as a password field is) you may or may not recognize them (as a password manager).

I store the questions and answers in the notes section because I am sure I will have the right answers to the right questions.

I also expect this to be at the same place where passwords are generated because, well, these are passwords.

My hope is that idiotic idea born in the head of a psychopath will die soon (this is just a hope, taken into account the horrible, horrible incompetence of people who design the security of sites, especially password contraints)
I like the guard nodes idea ("gateway" or "proxy" nodes?). Maybe introduce a gateway node type, and add a way to pass traffic through a particular gateway (with a second tor-like encryption layer) defined using an extension to the current flow rules language. That would collapse all the traffic behind the gateway into a single identity (the gateway's), and probably be general enough to support all kinds of fancy features like onion-routing, monitored link balancing, etc.
If it happens after the person has a chance to raise offspring to a sufficient survival age, then it would not adversely affect natural selection.
This comes across a bit disingenuous. Do you have evidence to the contrary? If so why not state what it is or that such evidence exists? I believe the Earth is spheroidal in shape and also haven’t collected evidence that supports it being flat. It’s not reasonable, in general, to look up the pros/cons of each belief. In the present case are you suggesting that people are cherry picking the studies to conform to a preconceived belief?

He claims not opening an office in Louisiana is religious bias. Protecting your company and employees from legislators in southern/bible belt is just good business. They’ve a long history of passing and enforcement of unconstitutional religiously inspired laws that impact businesses.
All of them are deaths. Total reports in VAERS of all problems including injuries is in the millions (for COVID vaccines). Meanwhile the underreporting rate is enormous, usually estimated at two orders of magnitude based on pre COVID comparison with known incidence rates. If that held now the true number of injuries would be in the hundreds of millions (in the USA).

Who is allowed, in theory anyone but if you browse the database you'll discover most are coming from doctors and pharma firms. The latter are obliged to report events when they become aware of them and awareness of reporting systems outside the medical profession is low. The one I cited was picked semi randomly while writing that post (first report that was of a young person's death with more than a few lines of detail), and it came via pharma.

At any rate, as you just saw, the reports from medical "professionals" are not more professional than ones from average people. They have more detail but are so reluctant to acknowledge the obvious that they'll happily claim deaths that occur days after injection from known vaccine side effects are just coincidences.
Yeah but most weren't killed because of religion, and religion lived on for the people in the USSR, just not as societies organising body.

The migration to PoS is well under way. The whole path to ETH2.0 was full of setbacks and delays, but it was never vaporware as the critics would like to think.

Just this week the largest test network completed the migration successfully, despite the miners making efforts to destabilize it.

You mean BTC. Well, the best way to get rid of BTC will not be by yelling at people about the energy "waste" (which again, it is not "wasted" if it fulfill its purpose securing the network, but you are free to disagree), it will be by supporting a better alternative compelling most people to migrate.

This probably isn’t going to get read, but the HN comments to this post really are off putting. They show Reddit levels of naivety. Just spewing further insults and discrimination with no attempt in putting yourself in the author’s position. And enough straw to feed a horse (as someone else said the other day). I came to HN to get away from this sort of thing, but the Zeitgeist here seems to be just the same.

Or is this just a case of „a loud few“?
"So you think religion is a personal choice and sexual orientation isn't? Sorry, I cannot hang out with misguided people such as yourself!"

I can literally take anything you say and find any excuse to disassociate myself from you. The problem is when people don't talk to each other and it's worse when they disassociate based on topics they likely have no idea about.
Not for young healthy people. And the covid risk for that population, even before omicron, was negligible in the first place. As you said people are really bad at doing the maths, and it is easy to scare people with risks that are of the same order of magnitude than winning the lottery or dying in a plane crash.
> I agree, but I don't think the problem is so much "the office", but rather how poorly cities are designed in the USA;

It’s the same in Stockholm, despite laxer zoning laws. Companies tend to cluster in particular places and housing around them becomes more expensive. We chose to settle down in a less expensive (as in 50%) area but on the other hand I had at least 50 minutes one way commute to the nearest job cluster.
The cheap techno gadget problem of economics has been solved. Nowadays people only care about land, housing and energy.

To be fair, this model is much better at not messing up than anything else I’ve seen before. Only somewhere far down in the conversation did it forget to talk about itself, and said something along the lines of “people sometimes feel depressed and or sad when alone”, but he’d literally just asked them why they would feel bad. Humans wouldn’t make a similar mistake.
What makes you think I confuse those two?

You can have for a while a group based on opposition of things that everybody agrees on. But even in such case, unless there is some shared vision on how to achieve that, there is soon infighting and thus an unhealthy culture develops.

Downvoting for disagreement or if you don’t understand somebody does not contribute to a healthy culture here.
It's a whole lot more than just two people saying "trust me". It's a hundred countries, thousands and thousands of organisations and experts, and millions and millions of others. All these people, orgs, countries and authoritarians and big pharma moguls who would just love to call each other out on the conspiracy and provide incontrovertible evidence of foul play -- if there were any. Seriously; what is it with people who think that half the world can keep a secret from the other half? Four people can barely keep a crime secret; when it gets to ten, it's just about impossible. Why is any of this different? I honestly just don't get it.
It is always quite worrying for me to see something like this. People take a piece of tech which belongs in a museum and effectively destroy it just to get a cooler PC case.

This article had 2 very noticeable features.

1) It was incredibly full of fluff. The actual content was actually not unuseful, it made me want to start practicing handstands, but the whole thing could have been quite brief without all the memes and marketing.

2) The gifs of the exercises (not the memes) were far superior for a reader compared with embedding, or worse linking, youtube videos. They did both here but I was already in skimming mode from all the fluff. I've read a lot of articles on gym stuff lately and it's pretty annoying having to repeatedly scan through 20 min videos for a 5 second demonstration.

I think most people would agree that your so called additional data points are worthless for the purpose that most people would be concerned about location data.

Something like timezone "location" (which basically what your vytal website is showing) is simply not granular enough to be used for nefarious purposes.

I mean, if my browser is telling someone that my "location" is EDT timezone what good is that going to do them ? Its still too much of haystack to be useful to anyone.

Let's be honest here, "location" to most people means GPS-type location (i.e. you'll find me in this house on this street). Anything more coarse than that is frankly of limited use to an adversary.

Well there are LSTM systems (which qualify as memory to some extend) we also don't know if Google does not use continual learning approaches so you making assertions based on incomplete knowledge at best.

Note that the same person acknowledges that other cognitive scientists think we are at the brink of GAI. So your argument is an appeal to authority while ignoring all other authorities.

I had one of these as well. I don’t remember what happened to it, but last time I interacted with it was probably in 2005 or 2006. I was trying to get some MP3s off the thing (I couldn’t find them anywhere else). It was running Windows 95, so no USB. It just had a 28.8 modem, so no transferring it over the network. I ended up using WinRAR to split each file across multiple floppy disks, so I could join them back together on the other side. That was also the last time I used both WinRAR and floppies.

In hindsight, I probably could have moved the files to the D drive, installed Linux to C, got the USB port working, and used that. Or just pull out the HDD and throw it in an enclosure to use as an external drive. Oh well… the floppies work and we’re probably faster.
Yup this is good suggestion, mine blocks the deluge of of telemetry pings and all other nonsense from my cheap chinese TV, also blocks in-app ads
If it isn’t turned ‘on’ all the time (e.g. has a persistent memory), then I find it hard to describe it as sentience.

Because it's largely impossible to find out whether people believe nonsense or just pretend to, one should where possible avoid needing to know. If you can set things up so that the consequences for Jim killed the puppy plus either "Jim believes God told him to kill the puppy" or "Jim pretended God told him to kill the puppy" are roughly identical you needn't waste your time trying to see inside Jim's mind.

This is trickier with retributional justice. If you think your justice system's goal is to punish wrong doing it's difficult to argue that it doesn't matter what Jim really believed, as if he really believed God was telling him to kill the puppy how can that be wrong?
