> Early COVID-19 research found that most patients with optimum levels of vitamin D did not require ICU or breathing assistance and survived the infection.

Some sources point out that only 10-20% cases of covid are admitted to intensive care unit, and 80-90% of cases are mild.

I seriously doubt that up to 90% of the population has "optimum levels of vitamin D".
Oh that’s a great quote. Really good framing.
Ahhh. Thanks! Being able to "vouch" for a post that's been flagged is a cool feature.
I recently tried to switch Windows 11 to high contrast mode at work to back-date the flat design and make it easier to use, but it broke around 50% of the apps including Gmail on Chrome (got solid black letterboxes).

A few things worked out of the box like Office 365.

Anyway, high contrast mode looks OK on Windows 11 but the apps integration is a sad state of affairs right now.
> I'm pretty [sure] 100% of all US states mandate that all new construction adhere to the National Electrical Code (NEC).

There are four states who have not adopted the NEC on a statewide basis, leaving any such decision to the local authorities having jurisdiction: Arizona, Illinois, Mississippi, and Missouri.

The following is my personal experience only. When I decided to learn Emacs I bought a book (the fat O'Reilly one),sat down and practised the keystrokes. I made a few scratch notes as well. Within a few hours, not days, I found movement to be extremely straightforward and much more comfortable than the old windows/mac way, for the great part.

When I was doing my own project I would do most of my work in Emacs but regularly swap back to VStudio because of its LSP support. Swapping back and forth between these two very different environments brought on a few mistakes (wrong key in wrong editor) but astonishingly few. I got comfortable doing switches pretty quickly which is surprising because they are so utterly different, but that's how I found it to be.

I ended up spending more time in VS because of better LSP, but built-in LSP support is coming in the next Emacs. Good. Because once I went back to 'standard' keyboard commands, I never felt comfortable. It just doesn't feel right. Also Emacs is so vastly more capable in some ways it just blows VS away. In other ways VS is better certainly, in the more advanced technical stuff such as LSP, in other ways, screw it.

So: grab a book, prepared to put in a bit of time, good luck!

(Edit: just remembered, I certainly did buy the book but started off doing the built-in Emacs tutorial before that)
I finished my master's thesis in Inductive Logic Programming recently at Oxford. I'd say that the field has continued improving since Aleph, which was written in the late 90s.

I never claimed it was a straight uniform path. I only claimed whatever path there was, the concept of production surplus likely played a role, and the concept of trade too - and the tradesmen, aka "businessmen" - were somewhere nearby to facilitate it.
Yes, I am not exaggerating. The Framework came to around $1.8k and the Macbook Pro came to ~ $3.9k. The only compromise with the Framework is that it is a 13" screen and the Macbook pro is a 14". But that's because Apple only offers up to 24GB ram on the 13".

Too bad for the model owner, then.
From wikipedia's Christopher Lasch entry, here is a quote from his:

```
A feminist movement that respected the achievements of women in the past would not disparage housework, motherhood or unpaid civic and neighborly services. It would not make a paycheck the only symbol of accomplishment. ... It would insist that people need self-respecting honorable callings, not glamorous careers that carry high salaries but take them away from their families
```

This is very dishonest to me it seems to weaponize an existential seemingly anticapitalist critique ("The goal of life is not to accumulate money but to answer a calling) against feminism. Feminists were not disparaging motherhood or unpaid work like if it was above them to do it. They criticized the fact that it was considered their work and had indeed no opportunity for other callings

That's not even an interesting angle of attack against capitalism because it tells you capitalism is only about people trying to get richer. Sigh, I'll pass.

Addendum: This seems to fit "Romantic anticapitalism" as defined by Michael Löwy. He had some interesting takes about it IIRC.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Lasch
I'm sympathetic to this argument but I just searched apropos for "cut" and then for "copy" and got many commands related to cutting/copying text. Granted also that the words "copy" and "cut" don't seem to appear in the results, so you still have some reading to do, but the metadata is apparently there.

What version of Emacs did you try?
> Google has never, since the development of its search, innovated

This (a direct quote from the interview, not just a subtitle) seems false to me. Unless we tweak the definitions to desirable innovations, or to the leadership and not the employees of Google, this has to be false.

At the very least we need to credit them for Gmail, which by showing that a non-terrible app could be done in the browser, lit a fire under web devs’ collective arses that is still going today. (Again, whether this was a good idea is orthogonal—one way or another, it was a contribution to the state of the art even if the browser tech was already there. IIRC it was also born as an employee-driven initiative, but that’s also orthogonal.)

We’ve also forgotten what a wonder Maps and Earth were at the time. Perhaps ladling out a gigantic pot of money in exchange for every commercially available bit of satellite imagery in the world isn’t that inventive. And yet—for some reason nobody did it before that in such quantity, and that quantity acquired a quality of its own.

Books were castrated by copyright law, but they’re still an impressive achievement. You still encounter those Google-watermarked PDFs on Archive.org (proper, not the Wayback Machine), and if they don’t have the polish of pirate libraries, neither do they make you remember how much OCR sucked in the 2000s.

And Search, well, web search is a moving target, and what reads as operational competence at a high level is almost certainly dozens of researchers inventing new things for years. I can’t say it’s been an unequivocal good for the world, but to call it staying still seems an exaggeration.

Also, Chrome. It was great at first, the thing that finally made me abadon Opera. And V8 brought to the mainstream the more dynamic bits of the Self research from Sun that wasn’t useful for the JVM. Not only Node—I don’t think we’d have LuaJIT today if not for V8 and the *Monkeys, and the initial V8 work was what breached the ivory tower there.

(Does Android count? Undeniably most of what it is now is from after the Google acquisition, but they say it’s an enclave with a separate culture within the company. Dunno.)
You're correct. I poked around to see what they were like and found this:

Government is a thing that forces everyone to follow their rules. You can’t opt in or opt out. On face value that’s extremely coercive and bad.

I think of democracy as a “good idea” being not necessarily about being the system that delivers the best governance outcomes, but rather about providing some measure of legitimacy for the coercion inherent to government.
I hate it. It goes entirely against the style of my thinking. It's also very coarse-grained; under this theory, I routinely engage in fractional reserve spoon-banking.

It's my go-to explanation anyway, because it hits the sweet spot of being close enough and easy to explain to just about anyone.

Florida has one of the highest rates of uninsured motorists (about 1 in 5 drivers are uninsured) so perhaps the woman did not have insurance herself.
For me it's metrics.

We have a heat pump, so we change the temperature roughly twice a year: heating temperature in winter, air conditioning temperature in summer.

But my Ecobee reports the temperature in three rooms (and occupancy, which I tie into automating lights), outside temperature, outside and inside humidity, fan/heat/cool start/stop times, and some other more obscure metrics up to the mothership, and the excellent third-party website Beestat[1] tracks all of those using Ecobee's well-documented API. It lets me spot anomalies, and helps me understand if I've got the resistive heating configured to come on at the best time.

If we had time-of-day rates for electricity, it would optimize for those, but we don't have time-of-day-rates.

(If I had gas heat, or if I didn't work from home, I'd at least schedule temperature changes to set things cooler at night or when we're away -- maybe driven by the occupancy sensors! -- but apparently that's not effective with heat pumps.

Please read the comment again, because that wasn't the argument I was making.

I'll restate in case I wasn't clear -- the fact that it's wrapped addresses the "just a file"; meaning it's not sufficient to attack the filesystem to steal it, just like a password manager vault is.

As for how it's not a downgrade (or upgrade, mind you), it's domain-bound using standard browser APIs, meaning it's less likely than the comparable autofill used by a password manager to not leak passwords to the wrong site (LastPass suffered this issue in the past, for example). It prevents reuse across sites, it's not vulnerable to a man-in-the-middle in the same way a password or TOTP secret is, and guarantees strong assymetric crypto as opposed to whatever a server decides to do with a password and a secret. Additionally, and especially when compared to password managers, most of them now offer to also store and autofill TOTP secrets leaving us in the same spot were at with virtual authenticator backed passkeys, but with worse cryptography.
Even worse than that - Amazon spent dozens of engineer years migrating their wiki from PHP MediaWiki to Java XWiki, pretty much for that reason only, and for dubious customer benefit. There was a very epic post mortem at the end of it.
If you have collision insurance, you can submit through your insurance and let them subrogate the claim against the at-fault driver. If you don’t, as is common for an older/lower value car, your insurance has no obligation to help you.

What an unbelievably biased article.

Knowing it's from Forbes, it's propaganda for the C-class...

Quoting James Clarke, CEO of digital marketing firm Clearlink, without disclosing that he has recently come under fire for praising an employee for selling their family dog to return to the office on his orders is outright negligent of the author Steve Mollman.

Doubly bad that the quote is about how remote might be working multiple jobs, while James Clarke himself sits on multiple boards and charities. Disgusting propaganda all around and pretty gross to see it here on HN.
Anyone know about this idea about low fiber diets making it easier for bacteria to get through the intestinal lining? And that this bacteria is likely a cause for autoimmune issues?

I read about this about 10 years ago in the NYTimes and haven't seen it in print since. But the last 3 doctors I've seen (in different cities), I've asked them about this and the responses have ranged from "research is showing this is likely the case" and then another one responded with a flat out "yes, that's correct." Yet I don't see anyone actually talking about this.
The only implementation I know of that offers these features built-in is Allegro. But the cool thing about Lisp is that it's easy to add features like this at the user level even if they are not a native part of the implementation.

Why it just costs more. The insurers profit is removed from the issue.

You only need insurance if the loass would materially effect you. Amazon and most Fortune 500 companies are big enough to self insure definitely for small amounts like motor. Often buildings are self insured and only put out for reinsurance if very big e.g. a whole skyscraper.
I was able to do the same thing in 2023 with a new retail E4.
I'll comment again on this - if the cytokine storm is "debunked", why did dexamethasone have such a positive effect on survival rate (as it's an immune system/inflammations suppressant). This, coupled with how ventilated patients were situated in bed increased survival rates. Recall, for the first few months "reefer trucks with dead people" keep appearing in the news, which sorta spurred trying literally anything that could keep people alive.

Fortunately, some existing meds worked, vaccines and treatments appeared with amazing speed and the virus's mutations worked in our favour. And Omicron eventually appeared.
> If you consider a good life to be precisely how the fisherman already lives

That's a pretty big if. I'd start with asking how is dental care in his village. Does the village doctor use anesthesia? Would the anesthesiologist accept fish as a payment, and how many fishes a pain-less root canal treatment costs? Maybe after learning the answers to these questions I'd consider some other definition of a good life.

You probably can't. Hardware is the biggest moat, and you need billion-dollar investments just to step up to the plate against Nvidia and AMD right now. You could try implementing something in software, but if it's not a sufficiently complex product then someone might just ask ChatGPT to write a FOSS version.

If there's one nice thing about the age of AI, it's going to be a lot harder to profit from "$1 fart button" apps and "DogTV" products now.
You really want to learn how this technology works before spreading FUD which will cause people to pick less secure options. Passkeys are a W3C standard and they’re not an SSO system which requires a third-party server to function.

If Google closed operations tomorrow, it wouldn’t affect anyone using a passkey to login to any service other than Google’s own.
TOTP written down does work well, but the parent and I are both interested in how we should write down (on paper, like by printing) the various secrets necessary to reconstruct our passkeys in an emergency. Once that's known, I'll gladly adopt passkeys.
FWIW, you are literally the first person I've seen who has insisted that green threads are incompatible with an M:N threading model. Every other definition I've seen for green threads is that they involve userspace scheduling, and there's no requirement that there must be but one thing that something can be scheduled onto.
But the provisioning check is forced on everyone.

I don't think it's reasonable to enforce a provisioning process on every single person just because a small number of the devices go to enterprise-sized companies that want "zero touch" and Google (and their distributors) don't want the expense of stocking two SKUs, one set to require provisioning, and another not.

I shouldn't have to prove ownership of my device to said device straight out of the box.

A company should not have the ability to render millions of devices useless because they purposefully or accidentally shut off a provisioning service

All this bullshit is so that Google and their enterprise customers save a few dollars.
This is kind of standard though, same for health insurance.

If you're only making small claims that are easily covered by your own premiums, there tends to be no problems and good customer service.

It's when the reason for having the insurance in the first place (catastrophic losses or unaffordable bills) happen that the insurance companies stop being your friend.
There's also an amazing free (as in libre, actually communist, probably stallman approved) alternative called "lichess". Of course it's not a fair comparison because any new player will always use a website called lichess.org instead of chess.com because they will see that the name signifies liberty which they greatly value.
I would avoid letting your insurance "take care of you" if your car is totaled. Insurance companies push through these transactions fast and loose, of course to their monetary benefit and your detriment. For instance, my insurance company's proposed settlement offer to take care of my totaled vehicle was about ~$5k less than the what I negotiated with the at-fault driver's insurance company.

I'd recommend reviewing up your local laws and negotiating accident settlements with insurance companies yourself unless there are physical injuries involved or need to take someone to court.
I have a PhD.

Students are shackled to dead-end projects, uprooted from their communities by careerist mentors, and generally fucked over - in at least one case, literally - by their PIs. Scooping - having work similar to yours get published by another party - is a pervasive enough fear that reviewers can block publications to guard their own moats.
Publication venues choose arbitrary selectiveness criteria, e.g. conference acceptance rates around 24.3%, to maintain an aura of high quality despite most papers being useless apart from bolstering citation metrics.
Large projects that require many person-years of effort can only be done by already-established hype-leading "paper mill" labs where several grad students rotate who gets first author credit - the main measure for graduating.
All of this accumulates into student depression and academic burnout that leaves academics alienated from each other, let alone other departments.

As my advisor put it, academia is a pyramid scheme.

The article does specifically refer to "Amazon's insurance company." Here's the reference in context (italics added by me for emphasis):

> It sounds like an open-and-shut case. Dooley didn’t do anything wrong. The Amazon driver hit her car in her driveway. Amazon is responsible. And at first, it seemed like things were going to go the right way. Amazon’s insurance company paid for her rental car and later determined that the car had been totaled, so she was supposed to receive a check.
Am I the only one that thinks comparing profit margins of a publisher and a software/hardware company is a bit far fetched?
