Firstly the date on the link you provided is from Jan 11, 2022, 9:52 AM so it's a little dated when considering a fast moving pandemic.

Further googling reveals this similar headline: "Over 40% of NYC’s COVID-infected hospital patients admitted for other reasons"

This then begs the question, if in fact 60% of people are going to hospital because of COVID that indicates a very big problem.

Hospitals by their design are always meant to be full and their size will be determined based on an expected amount of demand.

If the hospital contains these unexpected COVID cases that then means many people who need to go to hospital will not be going to hospital only because the beds are taken up by these COVID patients.
I like Zoho for mail handling, the free tier covers up to 5 user with a custom domain, the small letters is that they don't provide IMAP/POP under the free tier, but it's pretty easy to set up.

I first learned about this tool after writing a simple server in C for the first time. I logged the incoming requesrs and shortly a packet whose content was something along the lines of “Scanned with masscan” popped up. Clever.
If it were just that then porting it to Linux would not have taken this long. OpenBSD were able to copy things from Linux (e.g. some grsecurity/PAX stuff), and vice versa. But in this case the org model is getting in the way.

OpenBSD is able to provide these things because they have a different organizational model.

Or to put another way: Linux is shipping the org chart.

OpenBSD can do some other interesting things because they don't have the mantra of "we don't break user space". Neither is wrong, just different. High level strategies like these affect commercial success and also the abilities to ship technical solutions.

Or on the topic of the article here: Yes, if you replace libc, restrict to just one arch, and put many other restrictions on userspace, then under those circumstances your only "opponent" is the kernel, and you can implement something partially like pledge().

But really, that means that you solve the multiparty problem by kicking out everyone who's in your way, who you can't get rid of (namely the kernel).
What BJJ taught me about Software Development
That has been my tactic too. Basically, think the XXs were great? Well, you have all the technology to emulate that in your own life - just need to find a few people that would be on board with you. E.g. think that social media is making life miserable? Find your social circle that are technology minimalists, only call each other on the landline (or equivalent) and actually knock on each others' doors instead of texting when they want to talk, and think that taking selfies should not be normalized.

Seems like the right approach. To use something, one has to understand how to use it. Why is this unusual?

Ask HN: Review my startup idea – Omegle-like site for discussing STEM
Mysteries of Space have always fascinated me - UFOs & Aliens being the biggest of them all. Are we alone in this universe? Is there any other civilization out there? How do they look? Do they also have governments? Why they have never revealed themselves to us?

Questions like these always occupy my mind & I love watching videos and listening to podcasts on this topic. I'd love to chat with random people who are curious & would love to learn more about their views.

A website like Omegle would be a perfect fit for this but sadly Omegle is not built for such stuff. So I thought why not make such a site where curious strangers could connect & discuss anything STEM.

What do you think?

> I recommend hosting an e-mail server by yourself

As someone who did this from about 2001 until three years ago, I strongly suggest most people don't bother with this route.

GMail, Outlook, etc, all throw so many arbitrary and ever-changing security conditions to accept mail, it really isn't worth the hassle - or the lost clients from mails that don't reach their walled-garden end-points.

I've used Fastmail for a few years now, and I'm 99% sure that when I respond to an email sent from GMail, they'll actually receive it (So, I'm not talking about cold-emails, which I could just about begin to understand).
You really don't! You've finally learned that you have an established project which is sellable and your immediate reaction is to link your public repo for others. Why not make it private, develop the project and sell it? You're nearly there...

When I started "deGoogling" myself a year ago, the first step was to stop using Gmail. When changing my registered e-mail address everywhere on the Internet there was one crucial bit that I completely overlooked: the owner/tech/billing/etc. contact records of a domain that I own. Many registrars send all regular communications to the e-mail address of the user account, not to those in the domain contact records, so I happily went on thinking I was entirely "deGmailed" once my Gmail inbox had dried up as planned. If I had somehow lost access to that old Gmail address before I realized my mistake, that domain would effectively no longer be mine.
OpenSUSE Announces “First Class” Support for the Nim Programming Language
Damn, an event loop with auto-sleep! This would have been very useful a few years ago when the ESP32 didn't have enough memory for the needed stack space and coded a shitty custom one. This is tarting to get interesting.
Same, though I try Reader Mode first. If that fails, close tab.

On desktop and mobile Android with Firefox, NoScript eliminates a lot of this bullshit. I switched to iPhone last year and I desperately miss Firefox for Android :(
Remember, 'integrated' meant initially just 'more than one component'. It would start with poster-sized wiring diagrams, switch elements, photosensitive spots etc. As it got smaller and more circuit elements were added the math may have progressed with it.

So finally it appears that the realisation is setting in that "engineering" does not equal "coding".

It seems it has been trendy to want to call coding as engineering, when that is like saying because I play with model rocketry on the weekends, I am a rocket scienetist.

Engineering is about assembling and/or integrating the efforts and products of many groups or individuals into an overall end product of some kind, usually to a known quality to a fixed budget and schedule (or at least that is the expectation at commencement).

In order to be resonsible for the outcomes of very complex efforts it is extremely difficult to "span too many levels", even if you have the ability and time.

Thus, on large engineering projects responsibilities are compartmentalised into modules and layers, just like software is.

You don't mix the very high and very low levels of software in the one module or layer, you abstract as you go up, maintaining a more or less similar amount of immediately need to know complexity for each sub-system with defined interfaces.

This is how complex systems that could not possibly be fully known by any one person, simiply because of the cognitive load alone, are constructed.

Engineering teams work in a similar way, so if you are near the upper levels an defining broad brush and system wide concepts, you are not usually also down in the weeds writing device drivers, so to speak.

The higher up you go in the levels, the more there is management of of the efforts of others. So that means expectations and interfaces, leading to more and more logistical and people management, and less actual nuts and bolts.

The person that designed the Golden Gate bridge probably never used a spanner in their life. (I could be wrong, I just make a throw away anology for the point of it)

I do like the idea of GrapheneOS, I just don't feel 100% comfortable running hardware made by Google.
Though a bit extreme, the individual components are definitely there across various webpages. Certainly it is annoying. The fact that we can control whether or not we see them is somewhat remarkable, considering conditions under the dominance of TV: mandatory commercials and high cost subscriptions.

Today, the internet is in the process of wrestling that control back from us, driven by the lucrativeness of ad revenue. Ideally, the revenue user subscriptions would obviate the need for ad revenue, but sadly, this is not the case.
Tell me again why we're the good guys?
It's not like casual secrets are usually leaked.

Trust doesn't mean blindness. If I agree to conceal your secrets and then you tell me you are doing unspeakable acts against me and the rest of the country, why the fuck wouldn't I out you?

All of this trust, honor, integrity humdrum only makes sense when it's reciprocated. These principles are predicated on bidirectionality but for some reason, macho nationalists love to act like these principles are some one-sided blood pact, made in a sacrificial fashion by "real" men.

These agents are able to keep their mouths shut while their soul withers to dust. It's clearly not out of strength, more out of cowardice, ingroup identification, and learned psychopathy.

Lame! Fuck the spooks and the skunks they rode in on!
I looked in Part 1 and 2 and didn't see this point raised, which is a shame because it's one of my favorite stories of intertwined technological process.

An engine requires piston that move within a bore. To create the pressure that process has to be precise. This process was perfected in making cannons.

Why I like this story is that it embodies the unintended consequences that underlies so much of progress, like Alexander Graham Bell inventing the telephone while trying to create something for the deaf.

You see this with research now that's plagued with being goal-oriented. "What will you discover/prove/invent in the next 5-10 years?" Who can say?

Also, the steam engine and the internal combustion engine are directly the products of technology created for war to kill people.
> In much of the country you can buy a square mile for a few million.

Yet in other parts of the country people pay that for 1000 square feet.

The fact that people aren't building skyscrapers or gold mines in "much of the country" doesn't mean that there isn't high demand for housing or precious metals.

I would be interested to know, for example, how much energy would cost if there were unlimited free space (with good weather and topography) for installing solar panels within easy transmission distance from all energy consumers.

In that sense, energy prices are dependent on land prices.

I just discovered this after using (and being annoyed by) pipenv. I’ve heard good things about poetry, but I guess my big mystery is why either of them even exist when tools seems to pre-date?
It’s not discussed in the article, but the magic of steam in the 16th century was expressly investigated by Robert Fludd. As a mystical philosopher, he was attacked by the more scientific types of his time. This probably set back the steam engine. But clearly, he was really on to something!! Don’t discount the weird, I guess, is the takeaway.
Moving away from Gmail was easy for me. Get a new address at a reliable provider or self host. And then you can use Gmail's own Mail-forwarding functionality to forward everything to your new mail address, and theres also an option to delete the copy at gmail.
Whenever you have time, set the new address at your accounts. And after a year or two you have changed all accounts and can delete your gmail address.
A slow change is better than no change.
I don't hang out with a lot of teenagers, but what I see of them paints a sorry picture. Rampant mental health issues, many infants I see glued to junk on iPads that would make children's TV of the 90s the height of intellectualism, etc.

Do you really think there are reasons to be optimistic about the new generations? What little of them there will be, given the drops in fertility rates.
If you could still login to the Registrars user account that owned the domain and that email address had been changed I suspect you should still be able to change the domain contact information via the self service console.

Worst case you'd raise a ticket (how good is actual support!) and they would be able to change the domain contact information for you because you can already authenticate with the user account that owns the domain.

If this wasn't possible all those domains that have self referencing contact information (eg. abuse@this-same-domain.example) could never be verified.
It'd be nice if it explained the acronyms the first time they are used.
One of the primary advantages of Low-Code is that it makes non-developers operational in creating interfaces or solving feature requests. Those developers can focus on creating better data sources, focusing on public facing products, etc. But low-code is great for letting otherwise smart people build internal tooling. I haven't seen many public facing low-code tools that don't go off the rails pretty quick with any kind of complexity.

FWIW, I've done some explorations with low-code.

I do think there's lots of power to low-code and I think for internal tooling specifically or for testing theories or even short-lived public-facing tools, they fit a solid use-case of turning smart people int actionable devs. They still need to "think like a programmer", which essentially makes UI a language, albeit one that's more verbose.

But with a generation of kids learning Scratch and other tools like that soon to hit the job market, maybe these tools are primed for major adoption?

Today I still ask businesses that ask me to help with tools why this CAN'T be a low-code solution, similar to the old adage, "why shouldn't this be a spreadsheet."

Full disclosure, I work for Hasura so there's some heavy handed surfacing of Hasura in those links, but it just goes to show what's possible when you decouple front-end from the API layer, letting different tools solve their scoped problem space.

It's relative to population growth and an artificial inflation rate funding the government. They matched the natural gold inflation due to mining.

The Startups Predicting Climate Risk for Bond Investors
Labor relations board? Sounds like a contractual matter and a naive employee of Modis.

Contractor working arrangements are well defined by the work contract. This includes salaries for defined roles, e.g. Software Engineer II. Google, like any prime, can most likely terminate a contract agreement with a contractor (or a contractor employee) for any reason or no reason at all. All the prime has to do is provide notice and final pay for work performed. I’m surprised that Modis isn’t dealing with this directly. This could sour their relationship with Google.

Shamus Young Passes Away
In hindsight I was probably too excited to share that particular story. A better example might have been some of the Islamic physicians who were writing treatises and books in the 10th and 11th century. A good review article on a few such treatises (republished on a British charity org site, originally published in Historical Aspects of Pediatric Surgery)[^1] gives an idea of what I assume would be more routine, less everything-on-the-line treatments.

Though, the distinction from what is life threatening and what is routine has not always been so clear as in this modern period, and it has also shifted around, making this point of contention a bit difficult to judge.

Flyp Homes | London, UK | ONSITE / HYBRID (flexible WFH) | https://flyp.co

Growth Engineer. Full stack node/react. UX. A/B Testing

If you've ever sold a home in the UK then you have likely felt that no one in the process had any incentive to help you.
Flyp is changing that by building a business that partners with homeowners to help them realize the full potential of their investment into their home, even as far as through renovations to the home.

We're a profitable business and are scaling our operations throughout London and the UK, and to do that we need to be a lot better at educated potential customers on what we do. This role is to help us build apps that can explain how the UK residential real estate market works, how we help homeowners get the most out of it, and how they can better understand the value of their home.

You misunderstood me. I mean partitioning or integration of LAWS.

This is exactly what "creating a state" means: having one's own law, which I think is bad.

Good laws are most effective when they are enforced without borders.

Of course I did not mean to uniformize people!!

As for the link with groupism:

partitioned laws are the starting point, you say "people from this state have those rights, people from other states do not have these rights even when they interact with our state".

With this notion of network state, it is even unclear to me how they can discriminate what law apply to who, because there is no more "person X is geographically present on the land Y so Y law applies" principle.

I've got a legacy free gsuite account with two domains, one is personal the other business. I never got the option to keep it free for personal use, but also since it's still in the 3rd week of transitioning from free, I have no support. Without human support I can't split out the business domain into its own paid workspaces account, the tools I have access to don't have the option.

I have no motivation to de-Google except how horrible Google has been about this transition, so far making it impossible through circular logic.

I guess I'd have to do a takeout of the business domain, then delete that domain. Then open a new workspaces account and import the takout. Then handwave magic, I somehow get Google's attention to get the personal workspaces free instead of just automatically shutoff as their support docs claim will happen. Since I might have to migrate this one domain to some other service anyway, I might as well move the other domain too because it's easier to manage the two domains with a single interface even if they are separate accounts. So yeah, Google themselves are the how I will deGoogle, seems like.
Could have used a rocket? They've been around for ages.

Which makes them one of the largest exporters of uranium in the world, including to the EU, which is what I've said. A victim of what exactly? Knowing the facts?

Imagine the importance of Russian uranium if there was a nuclear renaissance and the world suddenly built terawatts of nuclear plants, which is what this article is proposing and presumably you too. And also, Russians are one of the last countries that actually builds them including abroad, so a nuclear surge would mean countries lining up to have Russian nuclear plants built.

The article is devoid of not only data, but common sense.
