If this were the cause, I would expect to see similar rates of myocarditis from the viral vector vaccines, but it's much lower. The MRNA vaccines work by causing cells to produce antigens, which are presented on the cell surface and induce the immune system to attack the cell. We know now as well that the lipid vehicle doesn't stay at the injection site but distributes through the body to varying degrees. No need to posit a secondary mechanism - it's more likely the vaccine is just carried to the heart in some cases, is absorbed, and induces immune attack like it does in other tissue.

Is that really true? I had a feeling that macOS desktop developers are on the decline.

There are certainly a lot of Windows-only apps that are quite nice.

Further, as a person trying to develop a cross-platform, desktop-only GUI framework and applications, macOS is absolutely the worst offender on nearly everything. From only supporting an outdated OpenGL version to requiring that windows are managed on the main thread. Neither Windows nor Linux have either of these limitations.
> I doubt anything will ever change under Tim Cook. Maybe some day Scott Forstall will return in Jobs-like fashion and correct the company's course.

I really disliked Scott Forstall being fired from Apple, and have felt that he could’ve added a lot more value to Apple’s products if he’d been around. Apple Maps is still terrible (outside the US and a couple of other countries). So it’s not like firing him resulted in great progress quickly.

Recently John Gruber had posted about it being 10 years since Forstall was forced out of Apple. [1] I’m guessing many others feel similarly that his presence could’ve made a positive difference. Now it’s Tim Cook’s ego that would block him from being hired at Apple again.

Sorry, I suppose being a professional musician is one field with similar requirements for skill versus pay. Nobody's going to pay any money to a middle-quintile piano player, just like nobody in academia is going to pay any money to a freshly-minted middle-quintile PHD.
Why? They might be much better at inventing things than starting and running a business. The stated goal behind patents is to advance the sciences not to create businesses.
The thing that the other manufacturers seem to struggle with is that you can't phone in major aspects of your product and expect it to be "apple tier". You have to own it end to end, and sometimes even go so far as to fund new manufacturing techniques and machinery to make your product in its fullest form a reality.

This is a bitter pill to swallow in an industry that's thrived on loosely tying together off-the-shelf components and contracting out the rest to the lowest bidders to produce products that often barely make it past the line of "somewhat acceptable", because the "apple way" is hard, expensive, and risky.

> Really? I brought mine to be recycled about six months ago because I couldn't find a distro that would work on it anymore.

Yes, it's really low powered, and storage is minimal so it can't run even base installs of most known distros. That's why I suggested Alpine; it is aimed primarily at virtual machines (where less is better), but it installs fine on real iron and can be extended up to the point it becomes a full desktop, although still much smaller than the equivalents due to most software being rebuilt against musl therefore being lot smaller than libc.
The 701 will probably be too small even for a Alpine based desktop, but the OP needed a music player, which seems doable to me.
We have a lazy tendency to judge complex phenomena by superficial external features. It's a mental shortcut.

The word "tyranny" evokes images of mid 20th century fascist soldiers marching through streets, in shiny black leather boots. Tyranny is seen as instigated by the known set of motivations that were in play at that specific time and place: hate, racist bigotry, intolerance, a sense of superiority.

We then fail to identify tyranny, even when it's the same phenomenon at its core, because superficially it looks different. It looks the opposite: where the fascist tyranny was instigated by racism, this apparently new and different phenomena is motivated by an extremely strong reaction to racism.

We fail to acknowledge that sometimes the reaction can be just as bad, and lead to the same pathology, as the problem that initially provoked it.

We ended up in a very similar position of hatred, intolerance, and sense of superiority. We just fail to realize it, because the flag-bearers of this new form of tyranny are entirely convinced they are "the good guys", and are only correcting the faults of the "bad guys": the fascists and bigots of yore.

Come to think of it: the fascists ideologues were probably certain of being "the good guys", themselves.

The biodistribution of the viral vector vaccines is likely different and also dependant on what tissue the vector prefers to infect, so when it leaks out of the injection site you get side effects in other places (clotting and vascular effects) instead of the heart.

I like the idea of a limited vocabulary and word building from there, but I think TP is way too extreme. Randall Munroe wrote a book called "Thing Explainer: Complicated Stuff in Simple Words". In the back of the book, he lists the 1000 words he used to write it. Something like that would be suitable IMHO.
I think what I would rather see is a new top level tab like ask and show for political/pop culture/"non curious" articles.

There are some types of threads that are interesting, but ultimately hazardous to HN and curiosity destroying.

I would guess that runs the risk of attracting the wrong type of commenters (often like myself) and that bleeding into the front page. It also creates a categorization problem and increased moderator work.
The article states that the major advantage of this new material is much better resistance to water. Are you saying that the levels of water described in the paper are still way below untreated flue gasses?
> That one's especially easy.

It troubles me when someone proclaims such glib ease. I read maybe 10
different sources, philosophy books, old and modern, and numerous
debates on the subject precisely because some people think "oh that's
easy" - a symptom of our deflationary society which itself is an
interesting predicament.

What do those Greek and Latin words mean? Mos comes from "mores and
customs" whereas ethics (from Ethikos) means character in the mind of
an individual. That sets a distinction between normative and
subjective standpoints. However "Western" sense this is reversed. We
are comfortable talking about "your morals"my morality" as subjective,
relative positions, but reserve the word ethics for something
supposedly more objective, scientific, and therefore presumably more
widely agreed.

And that's just the surface of it. Resolving the actual documented
uses of "morality" versus "ethics" in case studies reveals a whole
lot more. Some distinctions assign the qualities of rightness and
wrongness to morality, but the terms goodness and badness to ethics.
And then the are are the entirely subtle but profound distinctions
Plato and Emmanuel Kant make about the mental/spiritual realm of
ethics versus Aristotle's primary focus on how actual people might
behave. Or a modern moral philosopher like Jonathan Haight's
distinctions between morals and ethics.

The bottom line is it's not that important so long as you're
consistent. However it is useful to have different concepts and to
set them out as philosophical tools. So "especially easy" - I don't
think so :)
Would Somaliland’s Citizens Benefit from State Capacity Libertarianism? [pdf]
Abstract: Tyler Cowen’s concept of “state capacity libertarianism” was not devised with Somaliland in mind. Somaliland falls short of his ideals on both state capacity and libertarianism. Yet, Somaliland has made progress in developing state capacity. Although it faces significant obstacles as an unrecognized de facto state in the Horn of Africa, it must further develop state capacity if it is ever going to improve the lives of its citizens and address pressing challenges like high rates of infant and maternal mortality, widespread abject poverty, and minimal public infrastructure. In doing so, however, Somaliland needs to leverage the libertarian sympathies of its people to expand personal and economic freedom. Somaliland will never approximate fully fledged state capacity libertarianism but improving state capacity while increasing freedom is essential for advancing human welfare. Its people would benefit from something approximating “state capacity libertarianism with Somali characteristics.”
It looks like the same fatigue kicking in, which many (me including) got from the immense pace at which frontend development world revolves.
Lightflus: A Cloud-Native Stateful Distributed Streaming Processing Engine
Many countries the size of us states get their ballots counted in a day. It used to be the expectation that elections are decided immediately instead of over the course of weeks. The first time I saw that normalized was in 2020 and we were told to look the other way. Luckily my memory is slightly better than that of a goldfish so I remember previous elections where votes were counted until the last ballot that night

I know people who refuse to use async_trait for documentation reasons alone. The macro-based solutions aren't always pleasant to use and often come with a lot of weird tradeoffs. And yeah, I agree that most users don't need to write theme explicitly--I'm arguing that users are currently significantly impacted by the lack of them, even if they are never in a position where they'd consider writing them themselves, because it prevents library authors from writing precise APIs. For example, you might not be wanting to write GATs like the Hyper authors, but anyone using Hyper for anything nontrivial (and that's surprisingly common, IME) is certainly negatively impacted by the massive complexity caused by needing to work around their absence.
Hey I didn't mean to bash the Australian system. It seems great!

My point was just to illustrate that the idea of elections with "immidiate result" "total transparency" "exactly accurate" is neither realistic or necessary in a well functioning democracy.

Democracy is not in the decimal place of the accuracy of the election result. It's a combination of factors about of how political disagreement is handled. Separation of powers. Anti corruption work. Etc.

why can't voting happen on machine-online in realtime basis?

we can do polls for thousands and millions on facebook for example and the results are instant. everyone gets one vote and there is no double spend problems so why is political voting living in dark ages?

sure it has open source software now but in india for example, machines are transported physcially, they are tampered with in the interim, machines get lost on and on

> Having some way to anonymously verify your vote is an important part of election integrity IMO.

If you can verify your own vote you can use the same method to verify your vote to someone else, opening up the voter to the pressures that motivated voter privacy. Like payments for voting right or threats for voting wrong. So in some measure individual vote verification would trade transparency for vote coercion and selling.

Voter id laws hurt minorities and economically marginalized groups significantly more. These groups tend to vote democrat.

Crucially, the factors involved have to be very large.
You're expanding the scope of the problem. In real life nobody is pulling shit off of a database and stuffing it into a linked list. And if they are the performance will still be worse because each list will be allocated. Even if you do your own malloc you will blow cache with a linked list, because as time goes on your locality will be blown out. Iterating over a linked list will be worse as well.

In fact, on modern architectures it may be faster to iterate over arrays just to take advantage of l2/l3 behaviors.
1. any example on how this is confusing? 把 is "to do to". like 你吃了饭 you ate rice vs 你把饭吃了you did eat the rice etc

2. Its grammatically correct to say "我在走" but it sounds better when its a "pair" so colloquially it uses a 词, which is a pair of characters which may just say the same thing. you could also say 我在走着 which adds no extra meaning but pads it to be a pair

3. 了 is meant for something in the past, past perfect tense is not the same as past tense, past perfect tense is about ambiguity not time.

4. 们 has the 人 radical, so its mean for humans. Otherwise you're to use counting particles instead, plus 很多 or 几 or some other particle to emphasise it.

Alternate title: "Fred wants to swap Di2 onto his non Di2 bike"

Totally agreed though. I'm a cyclist and DIY is pretty simple, even on Di2. It's just that the author of this thread got in way over their head and wanted to do something that isn't straightforward... I wouldn't even call it maintenance. This is like the euqivalent of wondering why you can't swap your FWD Civic to AWD without a mechanic's help.

This Di2 Dura Ace drivetrain sells for what, $4,000? And he's putting it on his entry-level gravel bike. He's confused about fully internal routing maintenace costing more? It's way harder to do internal routing but gives aero gains and looks nice. It's very much a "top tier bike" kinda thing. Like being surprised that your Ferrari costs more to do an oil change.

It scares me that OP is a former bike shop mechanic and doesn't get this.

It's not that bikes are getting too hard to work on, it's that the $12,000 bike he's trying to part out to add to his entry-level 'prosumer' gravel bike just doesn't make any sense.

If you want a top tier bike that's easy to work on, Specialized Aethos is great.

Virtually every language has a mode to make calls into the C ABI. That's exactly the point of the article.

To switch in to C ABI mode in C++ you have to wrap the declarations in 'extern "C" { ... }' blocks, otherwise you get the C++ ABI, not the C ABI. It's done similarly in many other languages.
Bleeding hydraulic disc brakes is a pretty daunting task, involving specialized tools, messy and possibly corrosive fluid, and just a lot of work. If they weren't essentially required for running wider tires/rims, I would avoid them entirely.

Electronic shifting on the other hand is super easy, especially now that you can go full wireless. Definitely easier than say, setting up and adjusting a mechanical front derailleur.
Spot on. This is the equivalent of OP being surprised his Ferrari has expensive and difficult maintenance. The bike he's swapping parts for retails for ~12k USD
What would the opposite be? A sensory deprivation chamber that brings people back from the dead? Maybe a crechepod?
It sounds like a financial systemic version of “fear of missing out” if I read you right.
I can easily imagine an Earth with no philosophers after say Aristotle that is functionally identical to our current one.
The easiest thing to maintain is cable actuated disc brakes. Changing the pads is trivial and no bleed kit is necessary. The performance is much better than v-brakes as well. Of course, if you want performance hydraulic disc brakes are necessary fo mountain biking.
Bleeding brakes still sucks and requires specific tools. Cars are worse but bikes aren't particularly easy. You need more than a screwdrive and an allen wrench.
no. that is not my point. wrong people get elected without any real consequences so that is not really an issue.

1. Voter ID Laws Deprive Many Americans of the Right to Vote
Millions of Americans Lack ID. 11% of U.S. citizens – or more than 21 million Americans – do not have government-issued photo identification.

2. Obtaining ID Costs Money. Even if ID is offered for free, voters must incur numerous costs (such as paying for birth certificates) to apply for a government-issued ID. Underlying documents required to obtain ID cost money, a significant expense for lower-income Americans. The combined cost of document fees, travel expenses and waiting time are estimated to range from $75 to $175.2
The travel required is often a major burden on people with disabilities, the elderly, or those in rural areas without access to a car or public transportation. In Texas, some people in rural areas must travel approximately 170 miles to reach the nearest ID office.

3. Voter ID Laws Reduce Voter Turnout. A 2014 GAO study found that strict photo ID laws reduce turnout by 2-3 percentage points, which can translate into tens of thousands of votes lost in a single state.
Why even bother with that? Could just release instant results and always do a manual count of the paper ballots in the background.
