Ask HN: Can some doctors here talk about Monkeypox risk and outlook?
Reddit was full of great content for covid but it seems empty for Monkeypox info. I can’t tell if pandemic fatigue is leading people to not talk more about this. What’s going on?
Same here! But it’s coming to end of life. Not too bad for a refurb!
Yev from Backblaze here -> You're welcome!
> If there are any real damages, they are certainly not in the stratospheric amounts the jury awarded

“Punitive”.
> People should be able to monetize lies.

What? No.

> And people should be able to say things about people or companies that might cause a crazy person to do something crazy.

Yeah sure, but that's not the issue here.

> If the parents of Sandy Hook were harassed then the issue here is surely the harassers?

False dilemma.

> The reason I worry about this is because if I believe someone is doing something evil does that mean I now have to stay silent in case some crazy person agrees with what I'm saying and does something crazy?

AJ was accused of defamation. There is free speech protection for alleged defamatory statements. If statement regards a public figure, must be knowing or reckless with regard to truth. If not a public figure, must be at least negligent.

> I suppose I don't really understand what was illegal here.

He defamed the parents by claiming they were crisis actors in the Sandy hook shooting. While perhaps not criminal, it is damaging to their reputation and the victims are entitled to compensation.

> I also think $50m is simply an insane amount of money.

(1) Sure, the defense bar would love you and (2) that what the jury found and (3) those are punitive damages - i.e. damages set to punish the defamer. $50m in damages need not be done and can be multiples of actual without any constitutional issues.

> What damages were actually done here?

Alex Jones harmed the reputation of the parents and families related to the Sandy Hook shooting.

> $50m for "emotional distress" is ridiculous in any context.

This is more of punishment than compensation. Personally, I can get on board for especially bad actors, but to each their own.

> To those who agree with this, could you help me understand what Alex Jones did here that's any difference to what someone like Joe Rogan does when he accuses individuals like Klaus Schwab of being involved in some global conspiracy?

I mean to start, Klaus Schwab is a public figure so the bar for fault is higher. Also, Schwab might figure that it is not worth suing.

> Is it simply that Joe Rogan tends to accuse people with some meaningful about of fame evil conspiracies?

Idk I don't listen to Joe Rogan lol.

> And if so, what level of fame does someone have to have before it's legal to say what you think about them in public?

I mean if you are flat out lying and know you are lying - basically never. But if you are acting in good faith you have some protection. Just look up defamation on wikipedia - it's not rocket science.

I think you need to re-read my comment, because you have not comprehended what I just wrote.
I'm down. Anyone have enough Dall-E credits for "a functioning time machine you can build in a weekend out of household supplies, as a detailed schematic"?
He added a lot of undue trauma and made them the target of his rabid followers and they were constantly (and still are) inundated with harassing calls/emails/etc up to and including regular death threats, and some of Jones' unstable cult are fully capable of being mentally ill enough to do that. What would it be like to constantly be looking over your shoulder for someone ready to blow your head off
Yeah, I had to cut something to get under the limit, and then the How got cut automatically and I forgot to edit it back in.
Honestly, this sort of thing is cool; but why (in general) is it necessary in the first place?

If the elements of the song are recording in isolation - which they are in all studio versions, why can't we just move to a format that supports the layering?
I think you and onos are not quite making the same point.

Conservative voices are a bit suppressed in some places, like on Campus. Some don't like to accept that, but it's true. But it's a kind of Social Justice institutionalism that would be the issue there.

Otherwise, 'classical conservatives' who voice their opinion against Trump, are also ostracized by that far right gang, which is very true. So that's a different kind of 'fear to speak up'. Liz Cheney is getting punted out of Office for that right now.

But that has always existed - the centre/far elements of 'each side' definitely have wars. You can see it play out at the NYT editorial staff among the Social Justice left (younger) and the Traditional Liberal left (middle aged).

I don't feel that Musk can be reasonably located anywhere in there.

Non-financial payoff:

I learned to watch the room and listen to side conversations in meetings. I pick up on nuances and team dynamics that I can utilize sometime in the future.

I learned when to keep my mouth shut. Never underestimate the value of remaining silent and letting someone else prove how stupid they are.

I learned to trust very, very few people. Not very many people make it into Ring 0. Some people I trust with some things. Other people I trust with other things. But never anyone with everything (except family or outside of work friends). Most everyone at work is out for themselves. Most won’t hesitate to use you for their personal gain.

Financial payoff:

I learned to sell stock options.
Maybe? I don't think Madonna did anything illegal when she suggested someone should blow up the White House, for example. Would that count as stochastic terrorism?

I don't believe that someone should ever be held responsible for the actions of someone else. It seems strange to me that what I'm legally allowed to say is limited based on whether a lunatic is likely to do something stupid.

Also was this even terrorism? The article says they just caused "emotional distress".
> I think only Americans believe in this absolute negative liberty view of speech.

That's a wonderful compliment.
Dean Preston is one of the most virulently anti-YIMBY politicians out there. He is constantly lying about YIMBY positions and starting fights over nonsense on Twitter.

You and he agree 100% on building new apartments, Preston hates them, and as a rich man living in a very expensive single family home in one of the most expensive cities in the world, he fits right into the NIMBY mould.

However, Preston also believes that homeless people should still be treated like people, a position he shares with YIMBYs. Due to that commonality, but also having irrational hate for YIMBYs, he is sometimes called anti-YIMBY rather than NIMBY.
It was a fantastical example, but I doubt US would look kindly to sedition.

They don't have to (and shouldn't) retain highly skilled mathematicians. Nobody is suggesting that everyone design their own ciphers, authenticated key exchanges, signature schemes, and secure transports. Peer review is good; vital; an absolute requirement. Committee-based selection processes are what's problematic.

Interesting. Reference?
As I said, I don't think hyper focus on value is always what it is. Some people sure have that optimizing mindset, but far from all. In any case that's not part of the power and superiority complex as I see it. For some at least, that's not the driver, the driver is exerting their power over others and preventing someone else getting one over them. These people would happily lose money if it meant preventing that.
The returns fraud issue is a difficult one, and still very much an ongoing issue particularly with Amazon, as recently as yesterday when I ordered a used copy of a video game listed as returned to Amazon, and received an amazon warehouse sealed package containing a completely different game with the sticker replaced, so clearly not tested at all during the returns process to ensure it did actually work.

Now, as for a solution, is it too much to expect Amazon to test goods they then go on to sell again? I would previously have assumed they did this, but apparently not.

Luckily, the returns process is quite easy, which both leads to this issue in the first place but makes it easy to resolve.
Musk isn’t buying Twitter as an individual. He’s buying it as a thin shell company in a reverse merger agreement.
NSA employees downvoted this?
He still does the car for the same reasons, and it's still 'a good thing for green' he's just a bit older, a bit fatter, a bit richer (and targeted by 'socialists' a bit more often), he's a bit more irritated, and frankly, anyone who starts to let loose on Twitter is going to make waves.

About 80% of the people that I respect, I have lost respect for because of Twitter.

They just can't help themselves with the populism.
The solution to that is not suppression of the idea(s), in fact attempts to suppress anyone talking about the election only serve as fuel to expand the number of people that believe it, as "what are they trying to hide" becomes of the main part of the story.

Greater, and Actual Transparency combined with a trust worthily network of news outlets would go along way to shut down these types of discussions

Sadly we have neither government nor really judicial transparency in any meaningful way, and we are at a point in time where trust in "news" is lower than trust in congress...

Want to tone down the number of people that believe in conspiracy... More Facts, less Spin...
If you were to remove the YouTube link from your comment, it could have come directly from Dean Preston.
Except that candidates with more choices(presumably more desirable) will be the first to walk away from such subpar treatment.

This is a whole class of problems - lowering barriers attracts mostly the wrong crowd, raising barriers scares away the most valuable participants.

It's just a vanilla FOIA lawsuit, of the kind hundreds of people file every month when public bodies fuck up FOIA.

If NIST puts up any kind of fight (I don't know why they would), it'll be fun to watch Matt and Wayne, you know, win a FOIA case. There's a lot of nerd utility in knowing more about how FOIA works!

Is it access to high end rendering software and the hardware to run it on that is what is currently stopping small studios without a ton of money from making the kind of movies that DreamWorks and the other big studios make?

"How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World" had around a couple dozen people in the art department, around 3 dozen in the sound department, over 150 in visual effects, around 100 in animation, around 150 in music, and another 150 additional crew.

I'd expect paying so many people is what makes these movies expensive and beyond the reach of smaller less well funded studios.
We’re talking about conversations, not the matching algorithm.
All I can say is try that in court. There is a reason the offenses of slander and libel exist. They are incredibly well thought out laws and well supported by precedence, common sense, and logic. Words can be every bit as dangerous as a sword, and Alex Jones is finding that out. It's actually quite black and white why it's not okay to slander and libel and why those who do it should have to pay the price for their offenses. These people had their lives ruined to an extent by Alex Jones and he has to be financially destroyed in order for him to understand, that's why the decision is as high as it is. Freedom of speech is not freedom to slander.
That's really sad to hear. I listened to pretty much every episode of SED in 2015 and 2016. I learned a ton and my career really skyrocketed because of it. He always seemed to be able to follow along with his interviewees, no matter the topic. And he was able to ask interesting questions that really helped you to understand the context for a particular technology. I'll always remember him fondly.
Zoom with video on isn't face to face.

Neither is a conference call.

Face to face only makes sense when everybody is working in the same location, not when they're scattered across the width of a continent, and to me face to face isn't worth the hassle of commuting when I don't get paid for the time, expense, and risk to life and limb that driving to work entails.
Musicians and studios don't generally tend to offer the public access to original stems for songs (why would they?)

Say that you want to make a remix, mashup, or otherwise use sound-bytes from a song. The easiest thing to do is use a tool like Spleeter/Demucs to separate the source layers so that you can then further process them in your DAW.

This is what I do, but I just use the Demucs CLI because it's simple enough.

It's definitely not "okay to fail" in safety critical applications. The whole process of certification is basically checking that you've considered most of the failure conditions and designed mitigations to get the probability of safety failures below acceptable levels.
"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released data finding the monkeypox outbreak is concentrated among men who have had sex with several men, and issued more detailed recommendations on how to avoid exposure to the disease.

Among 291 men surveyed, 40% reported that they had two to four partners and 14% reported five to nine partners in the three weeks before developing monkeypox, according to the report. About 19% reported 10 or more partners during that period, the CDC said Friday.

And among 86 men who reported information, 28% said they had had group sex, which is defined as sex with more than two people, at a festival, group sex event or sex party, based on the report. The research was conducted from May 17 through July 22."

Pride month festivities, where some of these orgies take place, should be cancelled.
One says he’s doing it wrong. The other says he hopes that he wins, of course!

Meanwhile they go on to attack Bernstein, mischaracterize his writing, completely dismiss his historical analysis, mock him with memes as a conspiracy theorist, and to top it off they question his internal
motivations (which they somehow know) as some kind of a sore loser which is demonstrably false.

The plot twist for the last point: he is still in the running for round four and his former PhD students did win major parts of round three.
It's pretty bold of him to claim they were trying to make themselves more appealing for an aquisition or merger when nearly every action Twitter took was to try to stop Elon from buying them, only relenting when he made an offer so preposterous that they had no choice but to negotiate or risk a lawsuit from their shareholders.
This further adds to my point that there's no violation of free speech taking place.
Salami tactics (Yes Minister) would work around this. Replace and extend your brain and nervous system small parts at a time. Until one day you are entirely hardware, and thus your consciousness entirely software. Continuity of consciousness remains uninterrupted.

I'm not that commenter but I'm also prone to tangential dot connecting in situations like this. The only explicit connection in that comment to this post is the word lawnmower, yes. The implicit assumed connection is that we all know what Oracle is, and who Larry Ellison is, and the behavior of those two parties, and that further we may be amused by an anecdote about them containing the word lawnmower that the commenter remembered.

My understanding is that this type of tangential comment is in general tolerated, or even celebrated on HN in the spirit of being open to intellectual spontaneity, especially when the article is "light" in content and there's not much folks want to discuss about it. This is kind of a fluff-y marketing piece by Husqvarna so, might as well share general lawnmower related content of amusement.
Where and when would you go?

Nope. All Python programs in Nix are effectively venv'd, so-to-speak.

The problem is that if two packages A & B each depend on the same library L but they require different versions of it, any Python code that imports both as libraries will end up with two, potentially incompatible, copies of the same library in its import path. And Python doesn't support this, so it uses the same version of L with all the Python code running in that process. So now depending on whether some package P which requires both A and B imports A first or B first, A will end up using B's version of L or vice-versa. This sometimes does nothing, and it sometimes causes very weird, very subtle breakage.

Thus for all of the Python libraries in Nixpkgs to be usable in any combination by any package in Nixpkgs, there can only be one version of each Python library in Nixpkgs.

Once your package collection is large enough, you start actually encountering versioning conflicts as described above in the transitive Python dependencies of your end-user application packages. That's why Linux distros run into these integration issues. Application developers generally don't because their applications development environments are much smaller.
"go there-ism."

As if someone is saying "see that paradoxical/hostile bit of mental terrain over there? I can go there. _Ordinary_ people can't go there, but _I_ can. I have (for progressives) the exceptional acrobatic courageous flexibility / (for conservatives) the unbreakble mental backbone necessary to occupy and even defend a place that others can't tolerate even contemplating from a distance. "

wish I had a better term for this specific flavor of one-upsmanship, but it's creeping into dialog more and more on a lot of fronts, from a lot of different corners of society. I have a hunch that the boom in podcasting is a symptom and also an aggravating cause. People have given up on talking to each other, and now prefer to broadcast at each other.
Yes, the indirection (and also late binding) is why hot reloading is (somewhat) ergonomic in those languages, but would be difficult to do in Rust (or C++, etc).

I think the shared library types would need to be indirected either via compiler support, or some kind of `Hot<T>` wrapper that acts like a `Box<T>` when hot reloading is enabled, and like a `T` in "production" mode to be ergonomic.
You're missing that they never promised that there are only 5% bots. They said they estimate five percent based on their internal research, which is completely true as far as we're currently aware. Unless you can prove they intentionally faked their own internal investigation, you'll have a very hard time proving fraud.

Also, then there is the fact that Elon apparently even didn't believe this number. So even if he proves it's faked and the court agrees that this is actually a major dealbreaker (which is already near impossible), Twitter could still argue that he was completely aware of the bot situation when he made the offer.
API First Principles and Guide for building developer platforms and products
I've known many people who lean conservative to one extent or another.

I think many of them have demonstrated a good deal of wisdom, often by not trusting too much in the conclusions of their all-too-fallible intellects.

I can't say that any of those conservatives I've admired have been politicians or megachurch pastors, which given your descriptions seems to be who you're looking at as "conservatives".

you might want to check it out again! the latest code is more mature and hopefully easier to use. it is though very much designed to be a lower level SDK rather than an all-singing/dancing higher level platform like node.js or deno.

also, your assertion re.

Sure, but that's not the same thing: people overwhelmingly choosing to opt out when presented with a binary yes/no prompt is not the same thing as caring as much as you about privacy. Those people aren't going to start campaigning for privacy regulation because they opted out of Facebook's additional tracking. I generally refer to this as the "Don't Send" principle, if you remember those old Windows errors.
