Caught it from our young kids (2.5 and 0.5 years old - they are not great at social distance nor hand washing and happily cough and sneeze in your face). They were totally fine yet testing positive for days (we only found out they had it after my wife tested positive) and I was negative everyday for about a week.

Just as I was starting to feel invincible, I got the faintest possible line on a lateral flow test. All I had was a very minor sore throat for an afternoon - I would never had tested that on its own, but apparently it was COVID! (Tested positive for about 5 or 6 days after).

I suspect a lot of people saying they never got it probably have got it but never realised.

Nice thing now is I don't worry about it. 4 jabs now I think, plus natural immunity from infection. The main thing though was the kids were 100% unimpacted by it all so there feels like there is nothing much to worry about. We regularly get way way way worse infections from nursery - COVID was literally nothing compared to some of the stuff we've had from nursery that has totally floored us for days and weeks!
At this point, I will always buy a game on my Steam Deck over my Switch for one reason - competency of the online service infrastructure.

Nintendo has been woefully behind in this area for over a decade. You still need friend codes just to play online, and universal cross-game invites are not a given. There are also no guarantees that current Switch games will be playable on whatever comes next - while Nintendo usually does backwards compatibility for one previous generation, they made a clean break from Wii U to Switch.
i wish, but im obviously not lol
>What I find more interesting is the amount of stereotypical spice and heat avoidance I've seen from white family and friends; an example of which I recently heard from a friend, “I don't add spice to my chili, since I know some people don't like that.”

>I'm genuinely confused by people who avoid adding additional flavour to their food.

I think there's a communication breakdown here. They're not saying they don't like flavorful food, they're saying they don't like spicy food. "Spicy" and "spice" are two different things, but are often used interchangeably by folk who aren't much into, or don't know much about, cooking. The comment your friend said should (I think, at least) be interpreted as, "I don't add spicy spices to my chili".

Now, I could be totally wrong, and you'll come back to confirm that your friend used absolutely no spices whatsoever, at which point... how does it even taste like chili? :)

EDIT: Cute anecdote; I have to use the word "seasoning" whenever cooking with my two year-old. If I say "spice", she immediately assumes it's gonna be "spicy" and begins to flip out lol.

TikTok's algorithm is firmly on the "wanting" and not liking side. That's why it creates so much ragebait.

The moderation is very strict so the ragebait is limited to people ruining (cheap) wedding dresses with colored soap and screwing toilet-seats to the trunks of junked cars, or whatever. A vast flood of videos that only exist because anybody watching them will be disappointed and angry.

If the TikTok mod team slacked up for a second you'd see nothing but culture-war political ragebait and hate speech. It hovers on the edge even now.

I really appreciate this guide. I use FFmpeg on the daily and still frequently have to glance at guides and whatnot (for things I haven't scripted), to the point that I needed to find a good frontend. The best I have come across, for macOS anwyay, is ffWorks [1].

I bought it earlier this year and it has been a game-changer for me when I need to do certain types of conversions that are just cumbersome for me to look up or that I don't have scripted.

So as much as I appreciate the guide, for anyone (on Mac) looking for a front-end, ffWorks is what you want. Well worth the money for heavy users.

I might sound too antagonistic on this topic, that's not my intention.

F-droid is a great app repository, no problem with them whatsoever. I am highlighting the fact that a purist argument for a technological change that does not extensively invest into understanding the negative impacts on consumers is bogus. How many iPhone users really need an alternative store? Versus how many iPhone users want to have safeties around installing apps critical to their well-being?

To your point: maybe a hard to enable setting for allowing sideloading would satisfy both the safety and the flexibility concerns. But at the end of the day, if I ever need a hackable device I will just get an Android or jailbrake my iPhone. I explicitly separate my own needs from what I perceive as a very dangerous change for 99.99% of iPhone users.
I've got a few of the airthings bluetooth units and a wifi gateway that handles bluetooth -> wifi. Works well, sensors seem to be accurate and correlate with things like radon (which dropped once mitigated), CO2 peaks (when more people are around or gas oven is on), temp, humidity etc.

They have a github repo at https://github.com/Airthings and have code for things like uploading data to a local grafana.

It was basically turnkey, the gateway works on batteries or gasp a usb-c. Batteries on the BT only widgets do last a good fraction of a year. I'm using the cloud hosted dashboard, but bought it because I could migrate local when I have the time to setup.

EDIT: I have the viewplus (not waveplus), that acts as a Bluetooth <-> WIFI gateway and has a PM2.5 sensor the view plus does not, and does NOT have any code I've found to read it for non-cloud use.
Remember how Tim Cook’s Apple handled HKmap.live¹, Telegram², and the Navalny app³. Maybe you shouldn’t fight every battle, but he fights none. The richest company in the world has at the helm a person who quotes Martin Luther King Jr on the importance of doing something for others⁴ yet he always kowtows to authoritarian regimes. He’s in a stronger position than most people in the world to make a stand but he never does. At a certain point he’s out of excuses. He fights for money, nothing more.

>What happens instead is that the spice forces me to eat slower

Thats interesting. It is the opposite for me. When I get hit by spicy/hot I start shoveling more and more food into my mouth to lessen the hurt. Somehow I find air hitting insides of my mouth after some super-spicy food more painful than more of the same spicy food :p. I couldn't figure it out.
If you don't specify a version, the default will be the 2022-11-28 version, so naturally I wonder what happens in ~two years when that version gets retired.
While I agree with the build times issue and some of the complexity issues, since TS keeps adding new F#-like features I find dubious… isn’t this the classic argument of strongly typed vs loosely typed, just taken down a level?

Using _basic_ typing improves your code maintainability with a trade-off of some build complexity, but it’s still a net win.

Using _extreme_ typing improves some of your code maintainability, but sacrifices developer comprehension and build complexity. It’s not necessarily a TS-specific issue, but TS isn’t helping itself in this regard.

Big companies hire "digital marketers" who try to push metrics up to justify their jobs and salaries and demonstrate some form of growth.

Why do you see intrusive cookie banners on every website? So they can force people to hit accept and get their GA metrics higher. Why do you see login required on many pages? So they can get their login / registration numbers higher. Companies might lose some anonymous viewer traffic when requiring a login, but the money is largely made off of targeted advertisements for logged in users so they want to push you in that direction and harvest that data.

You might be deterred into not using a service by that popup, but the data shows that enough people will just go ahead and sign in or register and so it's worth it to the company to add it. One of the first companies I work for had me add a big modal that asked you to sign up for their newsletter when you visited their homepage after you scrolled down for a second. I thought it was intrusive, but it absolutely got people to sign up so I couldn't really argue with it.
"If it were that easy to cull out the overhead it'd be done by now in the existing 5-day week."

This is a misunderstanding of the dynamic. Collaboration and overhead inflates to whatever the capacity is. There's no strong force to stop it, bizarre as that is.

When you reduce capacity, the counter force is there. I normally do 10 meetings but can now only afford 8.
What's the beef with the home bar? Seems pretty innocent?
You shouldn't need to care about that; video formats should support clipping to non-keyframes by including the preceding GOP at negative playback times, so it skips to the frame you started the clip at.

(MOV in fact does support this, but ffmpeg doesn't play it back properly.)
But the thing is, for the most part the 'big tech' companies haven't created a service/product that users are interested in paying for.

Tangentially, just last week I received an email from a product company that I'd purchased goods from before. It had probably been over a year since my last marketing email from them. I click on the link in the email to check their products, but don't buy anything primarily because I can't easily figure out the advantage of one particular product over the other. For the remainder of the week and this past weekend I have received one to two emails a day with additional offers and new products. Will I visit their website again? Probably not.
The Covid Protests in China
At one point I spent some time in a very similar space, modelling how you would make a fair 4-sided or 5-sided die, by varying the depth of a d6 and appropriately labeling the faces. You would end up with 2 square faces and 4 rectangular faces, and vary the aspect ration of the rectangles to get fairness.

So a d4 would have 1 & 2 on the square faces, and 3 - 3 - 4 - 4 on the rectangular faces; this would require flattening the die.

A d5 would have 1 & 1 on the square faces, and 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 on the rectangular faces; this would require stretching the die to even out the probabilities.

I did an analysis similar to this, using the solid angle subtended by the faces, but the "bouncing" model is obviously much more rigorous and I'm curious to apply it to this case as well.
You don't need a whole new OS, Android is open source and can be forked. The problem is that people's expectation of polish on their phones is through the roof and nobody has figured out how to fund that kind of development effort. CyanogenMod came close but was torn apart, though LineageOS is still there.

In my opinion LineageOS should ditch the neverending cycle of trying to keep up with Google's increasingly useless Android releases, just pick a branch point and leave Google behind. It's the only way to implement OS features and be able to maintain them going forward. Then they should focus on features users actually want and that Google would never implement, for example OS level adblock and firewalls.

Instead of other existing attempts that focus on nebulous privacy and security, things that users don't really care about, the focus should be on giving users back the control that Google and Apple have taken away from us. Note that user-control and security can often be seen as being at odds. An OS that chooses user-control could be a strong differentiator that would set it apart from Google/Apple, who always frame their removal of user-control as a security/privacy feature.

But still, the tricky bit is figuring out a funding model.
Felt lousy last year, trouble breathing, went to hospital and got in via their special "If You Think You Have Covid" entrance...

They checked me out and were sure I had it because everyone "coming in here has it". Brought me up to the Covid ward, my own room...

Next morning test came back negative. Just a respiratory infection. They sent me home. Other than that, I haven't really been sick in the last two years, despite working two jobs, exposed to multiple people that had it. Seems strange but oh well.

This seems like a good point. I'm not sure I agree about paintings, but sure let's take Pokemon cards. These have only a little bit of intrinsic value - you can use them to play a game that is fun for 8 year olds. They only become more valuable because people speculate that their value may increase in the future. Why do they think that?

Well, it happened with baseball cards and comics, and then everything else. But let's go back to baseball cards. Why did some of them become so valuable? Just a guess but maybe its because they became rare, yet retained nostalgia value. Kids who bought them in the 20s and 30s treated them like the worthless scraps of cardboard that they were. Most were lost or destroyed. But decades later if they came across some they evoked a powerful emotion, maybe the sort of emotion I feel when see the login prompt on a Vic-20 maybe. So they started collecting them, and of course they had the most demand for the legendary players who they idolized as kids, so the value of those went up. After that, its mostly just people speculating. But there was a kernel of real value there to begin.
That sounds like fud to me. Coinbase decided my account was left for dead, and contacted my state. It tooks several weeks of back and forth with coinbase, including multiple phone calls with support and sending pics of my id, etc before they let me access my account.

Hmm, I see a lot of trash that I don't want to see "suggested" by twitter in my feed on the time. The thing is...I don't care that others see it, like it, retweet it. It just, personally, I don't want to see content from accounts I'm not subscribed - I don't care how many of my accounts, that I follow, follow those accounts. Like, 2/3 of my feed is not from accounts I follow: promoted tweets and suggestions.

That's why I quit. I still log in from time to time to keep my handle alive and check out some crazies...

> Why are you trying to tear down the company that's done the right thing in this situation?

Yes, Google got out (arguably, they got kicked out) of China. But their stealth attempts to get back into that market matter just as much. Because they display the current direction Google's leadership wants to take the company.

They want to take it back to China. And that matters.

Opinion time:

Wanting to get back into China is worse than having an existing relationship. Because they know the shit it will cause, the censorship they will have to implement, the human rights they'll have impinge upon, and they're ready to dive right fucking into that with their eyes wide open - ready to accept it all as the cost of tapping China's phat assets.

They can't even use the (weak assed) "we're a frog that's been slowly boiled" or the "what's capitulation to one more command" arguments.

Ok, so I think we’re in the same page: there is a definition of capital that includes money but is for some reason not applicable to this conversation because you’re an economist and know better. And if you burn your money in your bank account, then you’re less wealthy but that cannot be referred to as destroying [your] wealth or capital.
Part of the reason covid was so confusing is that the outcomes are extremely variable. Even among the earliest infections, many people were completely asymptomatic. Also, some young, healthy people end up dying from it. It's hard for a lot of people to understand that kind of risk.

I've tested possible on 2 occasions now, pre- and post-vax, and can confidently say I'm much more concerned about flu than covid (for me).
Had it, felt completely exhausted for 3+ weeks. Standing for more than a few minutes was hard. Recovery was very gradual.

Afterwards I developed a strong abnormal heart rhythm (PVCs). I had had these previously, but the ones post-COVID were really intense. They were on and off for a few weeks accompanied by acute fatigue.

If you're an athlete / active person pay attention to your heart after infection. I gradually ramped back up to high intensity activities.

That really depends on local dive conditions. For drift diving in the Gulf Stream off of Florida it's common to tow a float during the entire dive. For tech diving in the Northeast Pacific Ocean we can't tow a float while on the bottom due to rock structures and kelp. But we will shoot an SMB as soon as we leave the structure (rather than waiting until we reach a shallow stop) so that the boat crew can follow us as we drift during deco.

Of course it's always a good idea to carry other signalling devices beyond an SMB in case you get separated from the boat.

Based on personal observations before my parents passed, there is a lot of "for profit hustle" in every aspect of elder care. So many people are trying to get their hands into the pockets of sick old people to siphon off their wealth and/or government benefits before they die.
