> My blood pressure increased just reading that and imagining myself on the receiving end.

Sure. That's a normal response when you feel challenged.

Technology has exposed people on a personal level to an unprecedented number of social groups.

In the past, people talked to their neighbors and their kinfolk, because that was who was around. They didn't have to worry about what was happening in China or Russia or Wyoming or whatever.

Now you are expected to have an opinion, and to have the righteous opinion of the group. I have to assume that we will learn how to deal with this impulse at some point in the future, but right now, we don't.

You don't know how many times a topic has come up and been tabled in that group before you joined.

Until we get past our self-righteousness phase on social media "we don't do that here" is perfect shorthand to shut down a destructive conversation.

I do think it's important to actually hear the personal experience of others and defer judgement. That is not currently the norm on social media or with remote groups.
There needs to be a new effort like how Firefox was created. I remember the headlines at the time were that a "rebrlious" young guy was going against big Mozilla and it's full fledged navigator/browser that was pretty beefy.

Fast forward to today, someone gotta grab Ff engine, strip as all the crap and create a privacy first lean, fast and secure alternative.

Something like what the Brave guys did, but for FF .

There is. A web rip version of a given piece of media dating to sometime right after the premiere is as close as you can get to a “canonical” version without obtaining the master files. This is for pure-digital content, but things often get released on BR so that’s even higher quality source.

Side amusing note -- the story brought up in my memory my difficulty in figuring it out in Unix usage years ago.

Without anyone to show me or really having any useful manual on what it's purpose was, I kept on trying:

"man &"

to find out its purpose, usage -- "man" being the tool that I turned to for explaining to myself anything. Little did I know there are commands/characters that operate outside of the manual-explainable set.

Funnily, this never got me anywhere.

The fed has been keeping the prices of these artificially inflated through QE. They've stopped buying (they aren't selling yet, but simply letting securities mature) and the massive reduce in demand leads to a decline in prices of the corresponding assets.
You technically can sometimes, but in my experience it's really difficult to actually do that. Dealerships get limited custom order bank allocations, and if you're not really early when the MY order bank opens your order will potentially slip a model year or even more (at least for in-demand models).

For Hyundai specifically I was looking for the Limited trim, and I've been told they're only allocating custom orders to dealerships with level 3 chargers. And even then the order bank for MY 2022 had already been closed when I started shopping around. I would have had to wait for the MY 2023 bank to open.

> It took something like 15 years to find the bat population likely to have been the source of SARS-CoV-1.

This is true but misleading. It took a long time to find the reservoir host (i.e., the animal in which most of the virus evolved) for SARS-1, but the proximal host (i.e., the animal that actually infected the first humans) was found within about a year.

https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2004/01/who-sees...

Based on the WIV's pre-pandemic research, we knew immediately that the reservoir host of SARS-CoV-2 is bats. We still haven't found the proximal host. It's almost certainly not pangolins, and Nature eventually published an extensive correction to their pangolin paper.

I'm sure you're right that the commenter meant Cassandra but one might also argue that Persephone's curse, that newly increased periodic temperature swings will sometimes turn the earth barren and useless to us, is relevant to the conversation.
Currently, it means they will continue to let some small part of the securities the Fed hold on their balance sheet mature without immediately re-investing the proceeds.

Outright sales of these securities are another option that they seem reluctant to do at this point.

Either way this has the effect of reducing the amount of money in the system (the opposite of QE where they created money out of thin air to buy the securities in the first place).
Very good. This is going to hurt quite a bit, but is going to prevent real pain in the long run. Much like something we should have all done a year ago.
Show HN: Experienced founders reveal how they got their earliest traction
Okay but still, why.
The simplest answer is likely: paperwork and database changes. The impression here is that for many banks the card number has long been synonymous with its "primary key" in most of their databases and changing it would produce a ton of paperwork and a lot of database activity/churn and just don't have the concept of a "single" card (even though Ship of Theseus style it has many physical replacements, too) over time having multiple card numbers.

This is going to sound like an ad, but it's one of the things that's fascinating to me about Apple's Card in directly shifting that: the Apple Card uses "virtual numbers" and has different card numbers for all of its different ways to pay (the Apple Pay NFC, the magnetic stripe on the physical card, the EMV chip on the physical card, and the card number the app gives you for use in manual entry situations such as website payments or vendor's cash register is offline payments). At any time in the app you can push a button to generate a new card number for some of these. The CVV code for the manual card number is setup to change frequently (much more frequently than the expiration date) and there's even a setting to have the application change it automatically and frequently (once every few days). Subscriptions remain authorized when the CVV code changes, but it makes it tougher for someone to skim that manual entry card number from you and be able to use it new authorizations for more than a few days. (The CVV code basically becomes a mini-TOTP 2FA.)

I'm hoping more cards learn some of these lessons from Apple Card and "virtual card numbers" become more common.

This isn't actually that steep if you compare it to a human being getting convicted of manslaughter. The fraction of a person's life and income taken away by damages fines and incarceration are much larger than what charter will (not actually) lose.
I have a page in Notion called "Quick Notes". I have this page favorited and have a widget on the home screen of my phone where it shows up prominently. This makes it easy to get things out of my brain very quickly.

Every evening I journal about / document my day and set up basic todos for the next day (takes about 15 minutes). During this time I also review my Quick Notes page and file things away as necessary (e.g. Todos, notes about something I researched, calendar events, summary of an interesting conversation I had with a stranger, etc get put where they need to go).

As far as note-taking when I'm learning something, I do something like the Cornell method where I write notes as questions and then write the answers underneath or to the side. When I review the notes, I try to answer the question first and check my answer against my notes. This format also makes it really easy to throw things in Anki.
Most people (myself included) tend to think of a sensor as having some specific active measurement component. So a biologically available dissolved oxygen sensor (BOD) (for instance) has a semi permeable membrane, and an electrode, and measures the change in conductivity in the region due to dissolved oxygen changing the ability to pass volts through purified water. (ok, this was the 70s. I have no idea how they work now) The point is you pump volts across a gap, the membrane changes how they flow. Voila! dissolved oxygen changes the resistivity, you get to read how much dissolved oxygen was in the sample.

But, the word is also applicable to a passive device if it can pick up a signal which can then represent a modulation of some other thing, through RF. The tip of a logic/IC probe, or a portable volt-amp meter in this instance is what they are calling the "sensor" when in fact, the sensor is the increadibly finely balenced coil and spring and magnet: the probe is just how the data comes in. (ok this is the 1890s. I have no idea how this works now)

It's an antenna system. The Electrode gap, in my BOD example, but sans volts. You have to add the volts. Either it injects and reads, or its read-only. its the tip of the probe. Its got no active elements. How it "reads" depends on how you can convert something under measurement into a signal which it can pick up. The actual "sensor" component might be somewhere else. This is the transducer which you attach to something.

I am guessing it can be used to make RFID antenna as well. That would be cool. Does anyone remember the sparkle gaps you got for the back of AMPS cellphones which lit up like a christmas tree when the 'wake up' signal was pumped into the phone?

Actually nowadays, a dissolved oxy meter is probably best known as a fingerclip LED reader, and measures things by shining a red LED at your flesh to pick up on some aspect of the blood flow in a finger. I don't see any selectively permeable membrane there, its using another effect to measure. Passive probe? well.. you do shine an LED. so theres a transducer involved..

The bone marrow transplant is from a person with a gene that makes their white blood cells resistant to the virus. Once the person's old WBCs are gone (killed by chemotherapy in the case of leukemia patients, which, IIRC, all these patients were due to the danger inherent in bone marrow transplants), the new bone marrow then produces only resistant cells.

Is 75 basis points correct? The actual press release appears to describe an increase from 2-1/4 percent to 2-1/2 percent, which is only 25 basis points. It says it "anticipates that ongoing changes in the target range will be appropriate", but that's not the same as making additional changes now.

CNIL makes Google Analytics almost illegal in France
There was this fantastic cartoon in a dutch newspaper long ago, it was a really long train about to leave the station and lots of people were trying to get on it, by hook or by crook, people hanging on to windows, sitting on the buffers etc. A reporter with a microphone approaches one of the people trying to get on the train. "Sir, why are you trying to board the train, where are you going?". The answer "I have no idea but I really don't want to miss it.".

The banner on the train was 'The Internet', the cartoon was published in 1995, right when the dot com bubble started its proper inflationary phase.

These hype-trains occur over and over again around a specific theme, the funny thing is that 'the internet' eventually became at least as revolutionary as those that were trying to board that train hoped it would be. But the bulk of those hyped things are usually not going to make such a huge difference and then, instead of adopting the item and incorporating it we move on.

You can usually get an idea after a year or two when a technology is introduced which way it will go, and a good sign that the life is out of it is when the consultants and writers of books move on to greener pastures.

Funny that this would rocket to the front page so quickly. Shows where everyone's minds are at.

A lot of folks were banking on a pivot by the fed but they failed to understand how seriously the fed now sees inflation. Sure, the fed could/should have raised even higher, but consider they need to orchestrate a less disruptive start to our next recession. They're still doing QT as well, which will also help tame inflation.

Facebook is in real bad shape (don't call it Meta, that's just a scheme to distract people from Facebook being in real bad shape.)

They've quit subsidizing VR headsets which is a sign they've given up on "the metaverse", the current ambition is to catch up with Tik Tok.
OTOH if you don't, then you have something like the 2002 Muppet Christmas Special where they put Kermit in an "It's a Wonderful Life" scenario. We see how the world would be different if he had never been born. There's a scene set in New York where a random shot shows the WTC in the background, insinuating that Kermit was somehow responsible for 9/11.

Obviously that was never the intention of the producers but it ends up being a huge distraction from the rest of the story of the special.
Ah, I see, the release says to 2-1/4 to 2-1/2 percent.

Indeed. Super Natural Season 1 has entirely different music on Netflix than it does on DVD due to licensing not covering a streaming clause (there were no streaming services in 2005 when the deal was done and nobody had even thought about such a thing). Season 1 has a kickass classic rock soundtrack on DVD, and with that show the music isn't just luster on top. It's actually an important part of the show/characters.

I'd say your interpretation of that quote is wrong. She says the original idea was a trans metaphor not the movie she actually made. She even says the world was not ready for that, i.e. it's not the movie she made. Also I would expect the films to be a metaphor for several things, otherwise all that stuff about free will and predetermination is a huge waste of time.

I don't know if you've seen the fourth movie but it basically makes fun of attempts to interpret the Matrix as a metaphor like this, with a trans metaphor being one of several interpretations of the Matrix Trilogy pitched by the wacky Warner Brothers marketing department. This is not played as a serious interpretation. It seems awfully reductive to say the movies just mean that one specific thing. (Incidently in the video game Matrix Path of Neo the Wackowskys break the fourth wall and discuss the theme of choice versus fate.)

LSD causing hallucinations is the mainstream interpretation of reality. The characters in The Matrix believe the things they see after they take drugs are real things, and the things that they see without drugs are the fake things. But the things they see on the drug visually resembles a bad acid trip.
