To be fair, you are stigmatizing someone for offering a correct observation (that the successive COVID variants have proven less debilitating and deadly) and for asking a question that must be on many people’s minds: can monoclonal antibody administration promote resistance analogous to bacterial antibiotic resistance?

Be aware that live virus vaccines are certainly not monoclonal antibody injections.

As well, rather than spending your mental energy developing excuses to dismiss, why not think on the subject at hand? You should wonder why this mouse model produces broadly neutralizing antibodies in response to COVID spike proteins while the human immune system does not.

That’s a bit interesting to the subject of COVID, isn’t it? Certainly more so than windmills and politics.
Well, yeah, probably. You'll also make a lot of people unhappy

$2/kWh is very expensive. I guess by paying the powerwall users you can limit how much you spend with them. Not sure with how much local granularity can you turn them on, but it definitely helps
It sounds like the person you are replying to is talking about the desktop use case rather than servers.
It takes 5-7 seconds to load in Safari on a M1 Max Macbook Pro, whether on first load or after refreshing. The reason is simple: you have to download all/most of dotnet in wasm form before anything can even begin to run.

I doubt there's anything you can do. It will probably work fine for corporate intranet sites and back office apps with some aggressive caching.
I'm usually one to loathe the use of this word, but is there anything more privileged than casually suggesting "raising investment money from friends and family". It's surely rarified air one breathes when you can casually raise a few hundred thousand from your immediate social circle.
Supposedly the security issue is about copying and pasting passwords.

Trust me, the alternative is much, much worse. You do not want users using the same password everywhere.

I use a password manager, passwords are encrypted and only briefly available doing the copy / paste operation. It also has an auto-fill option which further limits the attack surface.

KDE is much more respectful towards users, because you can actually remove/add the "always on top" flag as needed, and that IS the way it should be.

> This can be easily achieved through folders in a bookmarks toolbar. For example I have a folder called 'News' with my top 4 sites. When I open the browser, I just right-click on the 'News' folder, click on "open all bookmarks" and those sites open on a tab each. One click and half a second... very efficient!

Even more efficient, you can Ctrl left click the bookmark folder, or even more even more efficient, middle click. Of course, this requires you properly curate your bookmark folders, my News folder has some two dozen bookmarks, and I definitely don't want to open all of them. But this "open all" behavior isn't recursive, so you can just put stuff you don't want to open every time in subfolders.
I think it is the other way around.

By cutting down the population of live covid virus particles in the wild, that is, living in human hosts, the possibility of a hard to kill variety to evolve will diminish by a very big probability.

In fact, the new more dangerous varieties are theorized to have evolved in single individuals, who lack a strong immune system, and can't kill a single virus infection for months, and then the virus accumulates changes over these months before jumping onto the general population.

If you’re the kind of party that prints so much a 5000 page toner bag is worth the effort, you’re not going to be returning single toners to HP. You get a big box and send 50 at once.

Also you should be aware a lot of those toners include some other roll that has a limited life, which means you can’t recycle (or refill) them forever. But if you get toner from a bag you’d have to replace the roll separately anyway. This might be skewing your figures.

>Labour estimates are crucial for business, even if they're bad - the goal is to improve iteratively over time and gradient-descend towards an accurate picture of resource allocation.

I have two problems with this.

One, almost all work that is easily estimated falls into the realm of trivial work. Most work is not trivial given the rapidly changing work environments. If it isn't the tech itself, it's the people around you and above you. If it isn't the people, it's some context which in common human fashion, has become overcomplicated to high heaven.

Two, because things change so rapidly and riskmanagement is the way it is, we are in a perpetual state of businesses trying to pressure one another into getting the best short term deals at the cost of almost everything else. How many times has a deadline not been met with it being critical? Not that often, most things can wait another month. So why do we keep making unrealistic deadlines? (Semi-rhetorical)
Make up some name. Call the police. Tell them someone stole your bag (give your self description), and that you are going to steal it back. When they ask who you are, use the made up name. When they ask where you are, give them the airtag location. Stand by and watch them get arrested.
From my reading of the situation, it’s not discouraged, rather the companies would rather avoid finally paying tariffs and instead sell abroad. Not sure how significant the charges are?

> It is about 2-3x higher

It's really not, at least when you compare OECD countries with one another.

For instance, per capita healthcare spending in the US is 11.4K. The OECD average is around 5.7K

Now, there are a lot of reasons for this gap:

1. Salaries are higher in the US. Health care workers are much better compensated there than, say, in France or Spain.

2. The US has a much lower population density. There are a lot of fixed costs with health care. There are real cost advantages to having a large majority of your population in dense urban areas.

3. The US is first to market/first to adoption for a lot of medical innovation. The R&D costs for anything health care related are enormous. Early adopters bear the brunt of these costs.

4. The US has a hybrid health care model. The two countries that use this model, the US and Switzerland, are one and three respectively for per capita health care spending.
Tesla have been doing this with Octopus Energy in the UK.

> $2/kWh is still 6x California’s most expensive power.

You only need that power ("operating reserve") for extremely short times in a day, the rest of the time the power plant stays idle. Mostly these are hydro pump dams or gas peakers (as they can start in well under 60 seconds), batteries are a relatively new thing - and all three of them are pretty expensive to build, so it is obvious that their power generation comes at a high enough price that the plants still stay profitable.

For the foreseeable future, human-in-the-loop approaches utilizing ML seem to be necessary for productivity and efficacy. Delegating everything cognitive to a machine does not seem to acknowledge the incredible power of humans' creative faculties.

I always think about Star Trek in these scenarios. The humanoids are the strategists, who tell the computer the goal and any constraints it must work with. The computer is a tactician, who translates those high-level instructions into concrete steps and executes them.

I think things like planning and design could be assisted in limited ways, but it seems foolish to delegate that to machines as we have conceived them. But optimization of architectures, geometries, and efficient material usage would all benefit from delegating to machines, since these are concrete subtasks that are evaluated in quantifiable fashion.

Well, what they would get in return is preserving the planet were we live. Even if they don't have children, the consequences of the past and current carelessness are already showing and severely impacting many people's life.

But there are also plenty of things that can be done to reduce energy consumption without impacting anyone's little confort. Regarding thermal confort the obvious solution is to improve insulation so they wouldn't have to heat or cool as much and might even save money in the long run

The one feature that's missing from browser bookmarks in my opinion is aliases. If I could bookmark a page, and then assign it an alias like "hn" so I could just type "hn" in to the address bar to go to that bookmarked page, that would be so helpful. It's possible to do this in Chrome by abusing the site search feature (add a new site search, give it a name, use a URL but don't put a %s search query in it... now it's an alias[1]), and there are plugins[2], but it could be so much better if it was a proper browser-level feature.

Off-topic question-observation: I've been wondering lately why "new features are released regularly" is generally considered a boon when talking about software and specifically in a product that serves a relatively simple and clear-cut need like a bookmark stash. My TV does one job: it shows pictures really fast on a grid of pixels. Sure it's nice that, hardware permitting, support can be added for new media layer video protocols over time (the marvel of software), but I don't need it to be getting entirely new features to be happy. It's kinda nice that it just sits there and does its job. It does it so well that I keep coming back to the brand for new models as needed.
Not to belittle your achievement at all but 100k monthly can mean many things, many of which are not traction. For example what is your growth curve on that, what percentage of those users are paying or have potential to pay, what is your total addressable market. Many of these are the deeper forward facing questions that investors are looking for when investing. Mainly what is your definition of success, is it big enough, and are you actually in the path to get there.

Ive burned high $xx million/year at only 10k monthly users because the answers to those forecast questions were good. And got to XXX million users and line of sight to X billion in revenue. However I’ve seen plenty of others who had better initial traction but no real path to a multi billion dollar company so they fizzled.

Just food for thought.

I agree with the statement that efficient and ecological transport means getting people out of cars and shortening travel distances, not putting them from one type of cars into another.

That being said, the article bashes on Musk and Uber without offering or even mentioning good alternatives and who we should really trust to improve transport. The good alternatives have been well studied, who to trust - I have no clue.

You wouldn't fully discharge it. The car has way more power than your house needs in a single night. You could probably run your house for a few days, even if your house has the AC on full, is huge, and poorly insulated. In which case you'd have a huge incentive to do something about your grid electricity cost. Installing solar panels and batteries is a way to do that. Driving an EV makes total sense if you have those. And adding that battery capacity to the mix makes even more sense.

You'd use an app to control how much power you allow to be taken and when. Mainly grids have peaks in the early evening and excess wind power during the night and excess solar power during the day. It's as much as being able to absorb that excess power than it is about providing power during peak hours.

Agile works when everything in your business aligns with it as a way of working.

It fails (and therefore is loathed) when the people who need time, focus, room, safety to achieve the outcomes are forced into working with particular processes, procedures or tools in order to satisfy someone other than the team or the customer.
It's wrong to say they usually don't, it's that the deadlier variants haven't lived long enough for us to remember them or have to worry about them at this moment. They still happen and can wipe out populations, and thus die out, as well. They can also reach an equilibrium where they maim many of their hosts, more than we'd like, without killing them all.

Mutations are random, nothing really is preventing a virus from replicating rapidly and killing a lot of its hosts in the short term, it's just the long-term evolutionary advantage of such traits are small, because killing hosts quickly reduces replication, potentially.

But that doesn't stop viruses and bacteria from mutating into something deadly and killing a lot, or all, of its hosts. However just that has happened throughout evolutionary history on Earth, and even in humans' history. We've seen plenty of pandemics wage war against humans and cause considerable casualties.

There's also plenty of equilibria deadly viruses can reach with their hosts, where they kill a relatively large amount of hosts, but not enough to wipe them out.

I find the Mouse is typically more convenient for cut on files, unless I happen to have my other hand on the keyboard. The shortcut keys on mac are often a two, three or even four combination whereas on GNU/Linux or Windows it will be a one or two-key operation.

The way Mac handles copying and pasting text is also horrendous, because it also copies the styling, something I actually never need to do. The way to paste text without styling is a horrendous long, and inconvenient keyboard combo.

Other system does that too, but it is just less often an issue. Typically what I do instead is I have a plain text window open, paste my text in that, then copy it again, and finally paste it in the intended destination. It is piss annoying
There are also third party AirTag compatible trackers like the Chipolo. They are just as expensive as the AirTag so I’ve never seen the point.
> US workers are also significantly more productive than other countries

I certainly hope so. Is it true, though? Obama's documentary, American Factory, says that Chinese workers are more efficient than their US counterparts. I also read somewhere that the average age of workers in shipyards were 55 years, IIRC, and it's harder to find qualified workers who can build heavy machineries in the US than in China, partly because the manufacturing sector shrank so much in the US.

When I name a bookmark in Chrome and then type its name (or parts of it) in the address bar, the bookmark shows up. I need an arrow down (or more, in case of more results), which is definitely suboptimal, but it more or less already works.

Appropriate reward for identifying security flaw?
Recently I was looking at a nice font and the blog by creator of the font. I was poking around and realise that the blog points towards resources from the font's author website and I noticed a reference in the html to a supposedly full version of the font.

It turned out to be the full version and I reported this to the creator. He then asked what I wanted as a reward and I indicated that it would be nice if I could get a copy of the font.

The author then gave me a license for a very limited version of the font he was selling and indicated that he could not afford to give me the full set.

At this point I am a bit amused and puzzled. I have just saved this author many potential lost sales of the full set of fonts because the link wasn't all that hard to find and yet it is too costly to gift me a full set? Is this kind of mindset prevalent or is my expectations not compatible with reality?

Is there some angle of thinking about this that makes sense? At this point to me it is not so much about the cots or the reward. I am just curious what drives such behaviour.

The entire nation was mobilized for war, so the cost was high for sure. My point was that the US then could produce so much because their manufacturing sector was amazingly strong -- the same reason that Yamamoto Isoroku predicted, years before the US turned into a war machine, that Japan would lose to the US.

Also, just because privilege exists doesn’t mean you shouldn’t use it if it does, for you; if the option is between the death of your startup or calling in some favors, the latter is the one you should take (assuming your bet in the startup is correct, but every founder tends to think it is, heh).

I am aware of that, but the fact is that this is less convenient than a standard "cut", as on other systems, so I honestly never use that. What I do instead is I have two windows open, and then I drag and drop between them. Also less convenient, but better than having to keep an extra hand on the keyboard constantly.

And of course, a "always on top" flag would have been really nice for dragging and dropping between windows. That option is really nice in KDE, but missing on both Mac and Windows.

He chose to use a service, something that contains software but is significantly more. He used a SaaS offering. That's not exactly unique, there's quite a movement towards using services instead of software.
