Estimated US flu deaths[0] between 2010 and 2020 (i.e. 10 years): 359K.

Estimated US Covid-19 deaths[1] between January 2020 and today (i.e. 2.5 years): 1,044,557

Can we stop with this disingenuous narrative? People rightfully perceived a level of heightened risk, ahead of a working vaccine, and took reasonable precautions. If it was as dangerous as the flu, we would have seen 90K deaths not 1M+.

It is an interesting growth play that Meta is doing (putting aside our feelings about it).

By putting out relatively cheap VR headsets and requiring a meta (Facebook) account to use it, they are getting young people signed up for meta. Those young people might not have signed up for Facebook/Meta otherwise. It's a sneaky way to reduce friction and maybe convert young people onto the social media platform.

It also reminds me of how google's social network automatically created profiles on their social media spot. That experiment failed. Will meta's growth play fail?

This is purely me trying to figure out the business angle.
You don't have to get a warrant to buy data. You don't have to get a warrant if a pro-life group buys an app then hands you access to the data.
There was a recent Economist article that said that 6% of the performance in PE is driven by earnings growth. It’s a Ponzi scheme built on debt because PE has so much money that they just trade around companies at higher multiples. Lol imagine believing in synergies, or that the trash you guys make is somewhat legitimate at all. Cutting shit to the bone and sending it to the next guy isn’t good business.

Enjoy the money and the carried interest loophole while it lasts. Community Health Systems? Dex Media? I’m not one of the fools that will buy it. Maybe it helps you sleep at night or whatever but if rates continue to spike, all the trash adjusted EBITDA nonsense will all die and you guys will lose your shirts.
Indeed. Well, no country is perfect.
You know nuclear waste isn't green glowing leaky barrells like in cartoons, right?

It's stored as solid glass. For super-duper cautious extra safety it can be stored below ground water levels. The volume of the high-level waste is relatively tiny (roughly a swimming pool per year per country).

I think this is likely the best way to go about it, but offer some sort of reward for their transparency such as helping them achieve in-game goals, and maybe rewarding them for out of game accomplishments (good grades, cleaning dishes, putting away clothes, etc) with in-game rewards you normally pay for. At least then it's not some creepy old man asking for inappropriate things in exchange for a in-game reward.

Also make it clear, that you're worried about other players doing bad things to her that she might not realize is insanely bad.

When I first would use the internet, my mom freaked out one of my friends typed a little too fast, I don't know if my mom was right or wrong, I don't know how much faster I would of typed at the same age had I had a computer for a few years more, but she was like nope. Block them. So I did.

Any digital store or forum requires you to have an account. You are using an account right now to post on Hacker News. So obviously accounts can be less restrictive and have less tracking than a typical Facebook account.

The question is, will a Meta account be different than an FB account? I would argue it has to be because its essentially a game/ media device and they will destroy their market if they try to keep up a policy of not letting people create fake accounts. No one wants to play video games with their real name and address. There had been a problem of Quest 2s getting bricked because kids were using them on a "fake" account. They need kids.

You can put your Oculus VR headset, connect to the internet and have sex with anyone from the Facebook ofc if they are of legal age and they give you permission. ;)

That can be marketing pitch for Facebook's VR headset!

You may not have an account on Facebook, but Facebook has an account on you.

It gets populated with data uploaded by other people, JavaScript widgets on random web pages that you visit, etc.
Facebook maintains “shadow profile” accounts for people who have not personally made an account [1], the answer to your question is “whatever information your friends and family exposed on your behalf and which is linkable to you”.

Why can't FB simply include a clause like "No kind of automated scraping is allowed, except for search engines in robots.txt"? This would save them so much time in court, arguing over the use of fake accounts which should really be irrelevant.
I ABSOLUTELY loved this project and used it for all of my "quick and dirty" ML stuff where I was fooling around... the only problem, which I don't think has been fixed is that it still requires *Python 2.7*.

Right now, it appears the US will have to learn this all the hard way. The financials are super attractive for people at the business level, and can be compelling for care providers, who may have expensive school to pay down.

For most everyone else, including many employers, it is increasingly painful.

The nature of the issue also makes change hard. Many people do not want to disturb what is working for them however painful. Can't blame them.
I gave my Quest away when they announced they were requiring a Facebook account. I liked it, but ultimately decided it had been a mistake to use something owned by Facebook, and I should have seen where it would go. Maybe I did, but had been too excited by the idea of VR. I'm not going to buy another device now, expecting that their fundamental nature as a company will eventually win out. It's a frog/scorpion situation with them.
You made it sound like a known fact, while in reality it’s just a theory you have.
I have ADHD and I have to listen to music to focus as well. I focus less without music. Even when I'm half singing along in my head somehow that makes me stay focused, so I don't get bored and drift off.

Interestingly enough I'm bad at multi tasking. I'm bad at single tasking too. But doing two things at once normally means I'll get neither of those things done. Music is an exception for me.
No you've got it the wrong way around - virtualisation is lightweight - it's got very good hardware support - emulation is CPU and memory hungry - it's done in software.
> But the jabs at Robox employees for furry-adjacent follows on Twitter, and another for retweeting some fan art that happened to be from a problematic account, are totally random and unfounded - what's that got to do with anything?

It's one thing to watch/engage with this stuff privately in your personal life. It's quite another thing to have:

>> Roblox’s former social media manager ran a public pornographic blog with “furry porn” and photos of himself

And

>> Roblox’s official verified Twitter account retweeted content from “DukeButDuke” with #FanArtFriday.

This is not

> jabs at Robox employees for furry-adjacent follows

This is Roblox's public representatives at a high level in the company publicly promoting this stuff. Put another way, if you posted a blog article about furry porn and pictures of yourself nude, then prominently displayed it next to your public work profile, do you honestly think that your company would have no right to fire you? There's a reason lots of bloggers that work for big companies will put "this blog and these ideas have no affiliation with company X" disclaimers everywhere, and that's just for semi controversial blogging topics.
Of course not then! "Curiously, it doesn't activate when I'm actually wasting time."

Anyone is fine to share porn online.

Just make a spare account and have some shame about it. When it's part of your public persona is when it's a problem.

I'm pretty sure your papers and effects would cover any communications you might have taken part in.
It's not funny because they're very different things, so it's not necessarily contradictory to hold both positions.

[EDIT] Incidentally, the position you call out isn't even one position, but a bunch of positions on multiple issues. Probably lots of folks held the position you don't like on some of them, and the one you do like, on others. "Made up strawman has contradictions" isn't insightful.

The Texas GOP platform literally calls for both banning all abortions and banning mask mandates to "preserve medical freedom". There is no ideological justification for both and as far as I can tell it's literally just "whatever keeps liberals from moving to Texas".
Hopefully, a move towards open hardware standards will help with that problem.

SiFive probably not as worried about interns and NDAs.

"The term back-propagation is often misunderstood as meaning the whole learning algorithm for multilayer neural networks. Backpropagation refers only to the method for computing the gradient, while other algorithms, such as stochastic gradient descent, is used to perform learning using this gradient."
Not much of one, the p-value of "observe at least 7 of 28 given a rate of 0.1" is about 0.018. Look at more than a few of those classrooms and chances of finding that get real good.
"They're not exactly vassal states but close enough."

This is a comical overstatement. If you followed the ins and out of international relations you'd know this is far from true. The health of those relationships (and any security arrangements included) is constantly debated up and down, and there are periodic crises of various magnitudes that kick up conversation of security arrangements ending.

If you think those countries are not acting in their own carefully-measured self interest and just show up blank faced to support the US... you have a very uninformed notion of the reality.

"they don't have nearly as big a problem with NK as we do."

You're really shooting from the hip. China has enormous problems with North Korea, which it primarily solves by appeasing them and working with them because it's easier than fighting them. As long as North Koreas spends most of it's energy being an active and passionate combatant against democracy and human rights, that suits China just fine.

"That we use our military and propaganda to coerce our allies doesn't mean we automatically get the moral high ground."

Every political regime tries to play these narrative and influence games. And every political regime will gravitate towards what works for it. It's an absurdly myopic American delusion to think that America is pulling all the strings among a world of puppets. That's not serious stuff.

But what you are failing to consider is that there are regimes willing to be far more horrific than whatever failures you see in American behavior. Criticizing America's faults is good. When you end up at "shrug is North Korea worse?" then you've ended up lost.

Sometimes having repeated sections makes it easier to understand the code, and later figure out how to merge the logic to remove them.

Separating it out into a function can obfuscate things making it harder to do that.
I am super bearish on Meta:

- why would anyone trust Meta/FB on anything they say or trust them with your data

- FB became popular because it was easy to use, it was just about uploading and commenting on photos. I don't see any of my family members buying a VR device and connect in metaverse
... there is no way ..

- I don't think people will ever use VR devices for the sole purpose of having meeting, video works just fine

The metaverse does not make sense, what it makes sense is AR, and Apple will be the one dominating the space.
Does that mean we can get rid of PulseAudio, systemd, and Wayland?

One of my favorite games ever was Journey, and what I loved most about it was how communication worked.

The game was online-multiplayer, where two players would work their way through a series of puzzle-like rooms together. But they would match you with a random person and you would have no idea who they were, not even a screen name.

Then, the only way you could communicate was by making a little chirping noise. Tap the button and you make a little chirp. Hold it down and release for a big chirp. If you weren't looking at the other player you would see a faint glow in their direction when they chirped, so they could grab your attention. And that was it.

There were times when I would miss something and start to continue forward, so the other player would chirp-chirp-chirp-chirp to say "Wait, look over here!" I had no idea if they were pissed at me or being friendly about it, but given how cute the whole thing was I would assume the latter. It just felt nice, like I was meeting a new friend every time.

I've gone back to that game several times over the years, but sadly nobody seems to be playing it anymore. My first time playing feels like a once-in-a-lifetime experience that can never be replicated. Really great game.
IIRC, it is mandated by POSIX/SUS, so even if it ends up not being used ever, to deliberately not include it is ... doesn't feel right.

That's because their zfs account requires a dedicated IP and a VM.

It used to be 1TB minimum until pretty recently but they went with 4TB now.

If you want a less space solution, just spin up a t3.small (I suppose at least 2GB memory would be better for zfs) on AWS as Ubuntu with Cold HDD (minimum 125GB) as extra storage which is quite cheap at about 0.015/GB and install "zfsutils-linux" and you're good to go to use zfs.
On the contrary! VR takes "following" to the next level. An abstraction that suddenly becomes much more concrete and literal. It is beautiful.

At last it becomes truly creepy and not just vaguely concerning.

You don't need to be in the street to be followed anymore, you can now stay at home for this.

(please don't take my comment seriously, I just wanted to share a though that was very entertaining to me)
Increasingly, I see the value in archiving long-form content I like, because link rot is so pervasive. Maybe time to start using pinboard again.
> One does not “sell” a license agreement

Factually, yes, one does sell licenses.

> one “enters into it with a third party”.

One also does that. When one offers to do so, in exchange for money, it is also selling the license. You are simply setting up a false dichotomy.
I once interned at an easily google-able Secondlife competitor. They fought against NSFW content for a long time, but then figured out how to fix it by:

1. Incentivizing users (with in-game currency) for reporting NSFW content, and
2. Restricting NSFW content to only people who bought an all-access pass (ID verified at time of purchase)

This opened up a new revenue stream for the company, and dealt with the NSFW content in one swoop.

Those numbers are based upon flawed and selective numbers making them quite ridiculous for several reasons:

For example: with Fukushima the nuclear bandwagon arguments that those deaths which actually occurred resulted from moving people to a safe area. As if not moving them would have been an option or if the movement would have happened without the accident.

For Chernobyl it's even worse since there the bandwagon arguments with dead firefighters, ignoring all the "fallout" victims which to these days exist and lose years of life. Not even mentioning missing data: https://www.sv.uio.no/sai/english/research/groups/anthrotox-...

Besides that it is the same people who say that Germany could have less coal plants with nuclear running. Something which is also not true since the reason for keeping coal so long was not the lack of electrical power: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commission_on_Growth,_Structur...
They did. I suspect that if they still do, there's going too be a really painful GDPR penalty heading their way.
Depends on the crime. For serious crimes I think it is quite common?

Like, Finnish law claims jurisdiction over all crimes committed against or by Finnish citizens committed abroad, no matter the location or acts legality per local law, if the crime could result in prison term of 6 months or longer according to the criminal code of Finland. We also claim jurisdiction over some particularly heinous crimes committed abroad no matter the nationality of victim or perpetrator. I think it is very rare to see it applied, because crimes according to Finnish law are often crimes abroad, too (I mean, the location of country often takes precedence?). And I don't think our laws grant our authorities power to act outside territory of Finland (like the US sometimes does).

But if a Finnish citizen traveled to country X, did something bad enough to mandate a long prison sentence, came back to Finland, was found, and for one reason or other were not extradited back to X for trial there, they would be tried here.
Funny how the same people who were chastising others who didn't want 20 years of pointless war in Afghanistan are now concerned about saving lives by banning abortion.

Or how about:

Funny how the same people who supported storming the capital because they didn't want to take precautions to protect the health and wellbeing of others are now interested in banning common medical procedures to "save lives".

Or maybe even:

Funny how the same people who were so concerned about bodily autonomy during a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic are now ok with dictating what 50% of the populating does with their body on an ongoing basis.
> Their fatality rate has always been orders of magnitude lower than in eur / us

Their reported fatality rate.
Usually it just means that you have a function like `isValidPizzaToppings(ToppingsList)` somewhere that you call in multiple places, instead of having a condition `myToppings.count() >= 1` in multiple places. So, just normal functional abstraction.
I think it just depends what you want to build. Once your UI reaches a certain level of complexity, the benefits of various tools begin to outweigh the cost.

If you know you're going to end up at that point because your designs include a high level of interactivity, you might as well use tools that will support your needs from the beginning--either that or revise the designs to be less ambitious.

Often newbies have a vision of what they want to build that matches the complexity/polish of established products--they're building Uber for X or Instagram for Y and so they want that same silky smooth UX. To achieve that, they are going to need a lot of packages and tools. The solution in that case isn't necessarily to convince them to build the whole thing in vanilla html/css/js instead, but to level with them about their expectations being unrealistic for where they're at.
