I think your comment should be more strict: There isn't just room for both, it is a given that both ideals and pragmatism must exist and go hand in hand.

Ideals are the compass, shows you the final destination, where you are going.

Pragmatism is the next step towards ideals. It prevents you from being paralized when the ideals are very far away.

Without ideals it would be as if you don't have a GPS on your car and roam around randomly. Without pragmatism it would be as if your car didn't have an engine.

Drug-resistant bacteria are the result of misuse and incomplete use of antibiotics, and the environmental spread from waste of antibiotics. Also, bacteria can share genes horizontally, meaning resistance in one species can transfer to another quickly.

Antibiotic resistance in bacteria is mainly from misuse in humans and animals, and disease spread between the two, along with ineffective waste treatment and the leaching of antibiotics into the environment[1]. About 80% of antibiotics sold in the US are used in agriculture[2], where they are given to animals not to treat infections, but to prevent them and to stimulate growth. Over 60% of infectious diseases in humans are spread from animals, and 75% of new diseases in humans are spread from animals[3]. Shooting a few micrograms of vaccines into humans' arms is nowhere near the scale of antibiotic use or accumulation in the environment.

It's also possible to achieve herd immunity with vaccines, whereas antibiotics do not leave lasting immunity. To be effective, antibiotics must be taken when there's a bacterial infection, and their effectiveness diminishes as they leave the body.

Are these "worries" consistent? Where is the worry that polio vaccination might create worse strains of polio?

Show HN: StoneDB—A Real-Time HTAP Database Based on the MySQL Kernel
StoneDB is an open-source hybrid transaction/analytical processing (HTAP) database designed and developed by StoneAtom based on the MySQL kernel. It is the first database of this type launched in China. StoneDB can be seamlessly switched from MySQL. It provides features such as optimal performance and real-time analytics, offering you a one-stop solution to process online transaction processing (OLTP), online analytical processing (OLAP), and HTAP workloads.

StoneDB is fully compatible with the MySQL 5.6 and 5.7 protocols, the MySQL ecosystem, and common MySQL features and syntaxes. Tools and clients in the MySQL ecosystem, such as Navicat, Workbench, mysqldump, and mydumper, can be directly used on StoneDB. In addition, all workloads on StoneDB can be run on MySQL.

StoneDB is optimized for OLAP applications. StoneDB that runs on a common server can process complex queries on tens of billions of data records, while ensuring high performance. Compared to databases that use MySQL Community Edition, StoneDB is at least 10 times faster in processing queries.

StoneDB uses the Knowledge Grid technology and a column-based storage engine. The column-based storage engine is designed for OLAP applications and uses techniques such as column-based storage, Knowledge Grid-based filtering, and high-efficiency data compression. With such storage engine, StoneDB ensures the high performance of application systems and reduces the total cost of ownership (TCO).

> some people in the USA think they have them

You're wrong, the rewards (cash back) is real.

At some philosophical level you're correct. Sure, the merchant is being charged extra fees and the cash back is less than that.

But pragmatically, the merchant already included that cost in the price of the item so it is what it is.

You buy that $5 latte cash, it costs you $5. You buy it with a debit card it costs you $5.

I buy it with a credit card it costs me $5 but I get 10 cents back at the end of the month.

I think the very article we're commenting on here shows that it is very definitely not actually useless, it may merely have a different true use than is readily apparent.
> Sometimes non-accounting people get hung-up on the words "debit" and "credit"

In took an undergrad accounting class centuries ago. I'm a CS major, but we were required to take a beginner class in accounting, which in retrospect was a good thing.

In the accounting class (the double-entry bookkeeping part), for any transaction two accounts were involved:

- Money was "debited" into one account. ie., money came into that amount (balance increased)

- That same money was "credited" from another account. ie., money left that account (balance decreased).

However, my bank seems to use the terminology in the opposite way. If $10 comes into my bank account, I get a message saying "$10 was credited into your account".

Likewise, if I send money elsewhere the message would be "$10 was debited from my account".

I'm told that if you look at it in some convoluted way the meaning of "debit" and "credit" is infact the same, even though at first glance is seems to be the opposite.

Now that I think about it, there was something to do with "asset", "liability" etc, on which the meaning of the terms depended on.
> Shareholders are not customers FFS. Stop repeating that like it’s some grand insight.

Customer is a recipient of goods provided by seller or vendor in exchange for money or other valuables. User of free service is not a customer by that definition. Unless you would openly treat privacy as currency.

Investor who gave a company money is - in my view - a paying customer. They give a business some cash, expecting more in return. It is not paying for service but it is still paying and expecting something in return. A publicly traded company is a product itself and investor is buying that product.
That is precisely the problem.

A BMI of 30 is not overweight - it's obese[0].

The CDC declares[1] that, "obesity worsens outcomes from COVID-19"; it "increases the risk of severe illness from COVID-19", "may triple the risk of hospitalization due to a COVID-19 infection", and is "linked to impaired immune function".

That’s due to societal reasons though not really technical ones. In many cases it’s the businesses not being willing to pay the extra fees at all, regardless of how low they are.

Not everywhere is the USA and erosion of speech rights in some other countries has already reached the level of "causing emotional distress is a crime".
I disagree vehemently with your last paragraph. Who are these countries that were stronger than the US and creating puppets after the war?

It's the US that has created puppets all over the world. Meddling with South American governments, the Taliban during the Russian invasion of Afganistan, the Gulf War, etc.

And yes, the US has lost some wars, but it's pretty much the only one able to pay for an army to invade and fight abroad pretty much every decade! In what kind of a reverso world is a country with 10 armada and nuclear weapons not the top dog?

Sorry, I really can't agree with your argument of the US ever having been weak, without saying outright who was/is stronger. If by "other countries" you mean Europe, let me remind you that it is a continent, and even EU is as not united as USA nor creating puppets anywhere.

The economic angle doesn't make sense either. US and the dollar has been the world top currency and macroeconomic baseline since the 70s.
Sounds smalltalk-y with a little more bolted on.
It's usually expressed as

Assets + Expense = Liabilities + Equity + Income

The two accounts on the left normally carry a debit balance, and three on the right normally carry a credit balance.

At the end of the accounting period, subtract the Expense balance from both sides of the equation, and close out (Income - Expense) into Equity, i.e. if that was positive, Equity increases.

Or, in a computerized system,

Assets + Expense - Liabilities - Equity - Income = 0

Family values, is just a way to brush the dirt under the carpet of sexism, unfreedom, slavery and subjugation of women.

It also seems like if you simply leave it on a higher temperature 24/7 it will use more power due to thermal losses overall. This is a great hack for households with several people who like to take long showers (and thus run out of hot water), though, or if you can do some sort of variable temperature setpoint to store energy as described in the thread, though I think at least in the US electric tank-based hot water heaters are relatively uncommon.
The US stance is it acknowledges that China believes that Taiwan is part of China. That is the equiv of saying “I know you think the sky is green, I just don’t share the same opinion.”

The US’s position is that it’s up to Taiwan to decide its own fate. And will not allow china to invade and force Taiwan to join China.

This has been the same position for the last 70 years. Taiwan has been an ally of the US long before the CCP was created.

Third, if police never bother with "trivial" thefts like bags, cellphones, laptops, and purses, it means that a single thief can steal hundreds of such items and never be caught. If the police make an occasional effort to solve trivial thefts they might prevent tens of thousands of dollars of recurring theft by the same person.

> If mutations at this site are possible, how would this be an evolutionary deadens in a way that the current evolutionary dynamics of the virus are not?

* Surely a lack of mutations at this site, on their face, imply only that there is no evolutionary pressure on the site and its phenotypes, and, that mutations at this site are as viable as anywhere else?

* Or, is it possible that the lack of mutations (presuming that this is very accurate) indicates an evolutionary pressure to maintain functionality that is sensitive to failure due to even minor mutations or deviations in functionality?*

the answer is that something that is so highly conserved across so many variations is mission critical. Mutations occur through replication everywhere, randomly. Highly conserved means that a change is a breaking change, severely impacting fitness, if no mutations have been observed elsewhere. Ie to extend the analogy, that point is the 'mountain' SARS-CoV-2 has decided to scale.

Yeah, it's a dream come true. When I got my first credit card, I was very happy. But later within 2 years UPI got introduced, my credit card activity got decreased because it is far more easy to do transaction with UPI than CCs.

And when Indian Government declared BankNote Demonetization in 2016, it further boosted UPI because people don't had the cash, so ultimately online transaction is the only option. At that time, E-Wallet also made a hype but it wasn't feasible.

UPI has many advantage for both users and merchants. And further Google also introduced their UPI app Google Pay along with some local players like PhonePe and PayTm which makes UPI transaction easy not just to send money to other be it friends or a merchant but mobile recharge, Bills, insurance, etc. can be done from these apps via UPI.
Actually, it's more that many of us frequently risk the likely theft of our precious items, the permanent loss of which would be extremely damaging or upending. And the contrived examples of abuse cases are much less compelling, especially when the only alternative, cellular GPS trackers, are even more invasive. And I dare someone to formulate an ethically consistent argument for banning GPS tracking devices.

Yes -- A lack of mutations on the site is a strong hint that it is functionally important. If virions with mutations at this site were equally fit, you'd expect more variation.

This is basic evolutionary theory that has been subsequently played out in both the lab and in the wild. You can't prove a negative but your requirement for reassurance will only be assuaged by furthering your own understanding of evolution on a molecular level, it doesn't seem like anything I could say to you in a reply to an internet post would make the slightest bit of difference to your skepticism and you'd have to get the basic grounding in yourself. The full answer would require 3-4 years of fulltime study, the shorter answer could be arrived at by reading the blind watchmaker and climbing mount improbably, two highly accessible books on evolutionary biology
Depends on the type of the test. The larger the system is, the more unexpected interactions can happen, and the more need for testing.

But if we are talking about unit test on the level of functions, yes, I think they can be replaced.
> It troubles me that our specific words are getting watered down by pop usage

This is not a new phenomenon; I think we've been able to cope in the past by either clarifying precision by context or adopting new words with the precision we need until they get watered down as well.

> literally is commonly used to mean not literally

I realize at least one dictionary disagrees with me, but I think that's a mistaken analysis of the phenomena. Literally is quite frequently used as an intensifier even when the utterance is meant figuratively, but if it were left out the utterance would not be intended or interpreted as more literal.

I think what is happening is that "literally" is being used as hyperbole, much like any other bit of English can be. It doesn't mean "not literally" in the same way that when someone says "you left me waiting for days" we don't say "days sometimes means minutes" and fret about how anyone will ever measure time again; we rather say that people sometimes exaggerate. None of this, of course, should prevent you from objecting to this use of "literally" on stylistic grounds, or from objecting to individual confusing utterances of any sort.

After my first comment (telling that mail2print is deprecated), I wondered and removed web services from mine.

The printer disassociated from my HP account, its e-mail address is removed, all on-device "printables" functions (which is dropbox, google drive, Scan2Mail, QuickForms at this point) removed too. It completely became a dumb, networked printer with an LCD screen (which you can setup your printer and whatnot).

I'm almost sure that it addresses concerns of the GP, because the device became completely unaware that there's something called an HP account, yet stayed fully functional as a networked inkjet MFP, incl. HP's smart app.

BTW, if your printer is in working order, and discoverable over local network, you can use the smart app without any account. Scanning and printing works, at least.

I re-enabled the services and the functions I mentioned as deprecated started to work again. I think something broke configuration-wise while HP was migrating services.

I really like your thinking about keeping this from being entirely online. How about something involving flyers or bulletin board notices, but maybe the app somehow facilitates that?

Another thought that bubbled up in my head is that I wonder if there's a way to gamify the act of meeting neighbors ... ooooh now that feels like it has potential to me. Your building gets points for how many people have met each other, and there's a geographic leaderboard. Or maybe you could set up the incentives to encourage deeper interaction, like involving some of those icebreaker games (some of them are actually not lame IMO). Honestly if this app took off, I could see the apartment's "social score" affecting property value. Ok now I'm getting excited. Also worried about potential negative consequences.
