As I said, it is only a putdown if you presuppose that everyone is expected to already know the thing. So I'd agree with you if I was responding to someone like Phil Zimmermann - but that isn't the case here (I'm pretty sure). Citing a specific discussion in the mailing list in order to circumvent this interesting definition of a slight presents a problem, first: the entire raison d'etre of the list was to put into action the concept of technical solutions for political problems - so it would be like eating an elephant. Second: the one quintessential thread that immediately comes to mind would severely strain your moderation instincts - considering these flaggings. But since you expressed an interest, I'll provide a hint: one proposed solution, prior to the satoshi white paper, centered around the game theory of a trustless market for assassination.

It is ironic that a discussion about solving political/social problems with technological solutions, on a news aggregator like this one, has taken this turn: self censorship and moderation in the furtherance of discourse quality control.
This is making me nostalgic for the text to speech that was part of my Amiga.
I think tech just works by different rules.
The basics are this:

I have a numeric (ONLY #'s allowed) pager — pagersdirect . net (coverage available nationally, paid for each metro area you will use pager). I have no affiliation with PDnet, other than as a customer.

If you wish to reach me, you text me your phone number (or a "code" if we have arranged such)... I then call back from an unregistered VOIP calling service (no phone number, so cannot receive calls).

As for not using email, this was simple: just stop using it! Paul Graham has a great lectures (decades old, now!) wherein he complains that "email is just a to-do list, which other people can place tasks onto." Incredible how we haven't implemented a solution for this yet (e.g. now-depricated hashcash authentication).
Reichsbürgers, yes. They're a bit more akin to US "sovereign citizen" movements than micronationalists, though.
Article notes that coronaviruses binding to ACE2 receptors in the pancreas could cause this. Binding to ACE2 receptors is done by the spike protein, the same spike protein the vaccines created mass amounts of.
Obviously nobody needs to live in Los Gatos. You could probably commute from Gillroy although it'd be a pain.
I don’t know if you’ve done an in vitro study before, but I have. I can make anything kill anything in Petri dish. Heck I can make anything kill anything even in a mouse. If ANYONE can figure out how to reliably correlate preclinical studies (that’s the technical term for any study not done in humans) to human outcomes, they’d be a literal trillionaire in a decade. But that’s not possible yet.

Ivermectin did not work. It never did. People in the initial waves off were dying of Covid because their own immune system killed their lung. Ivermectin did jackshit about it. Multiple clinical trials proved that. So it’s time to hang that hat and find the next favorite conspiracy theory.

No, it's just bad economics. Supply has far exceeded demand. People took on debt to buy these properties and they will not see a return on their investment. And that will lead to financial loss and bankruptcy.
I am not biased, just snarky. (The killing and other setup for the rebuttal came from the parent post.)

But I am also a socialist. I think the reverence for the capitalist class in the U.S. is unhealthy, and it permits lot of CEOs to be a-holes and wannabe dictators. I think Americans who are worried about unions destroying companies, you should look at Germany. They give unions a seat at the board, so that everybody is aware how the profits are split, and to see whether compensation is fair or not.

I think socialism can be distilled down to a really simple question (and that's when I really got Marx). If you want to start a new project, say building a genius invention, or an art piece, or just do something useful for the world, whatever it is. Why would you ever want an employee (a subordinate) instead of a coworker (a peer)? Is there any other reason than to control them? Why do you want to be "bossy"? And once you answer that no, I don't want to order people around as subordinates, just to cooperate with them as my peers, then socialism is just technicalities how to make it happen.
Once at a fancy Japanese restaurant in NYC, I found a pea-sized crab inside a cooked mussel, and showed it to the staff. They didn't know what it was! I don't recall exactly, but either I was brave/stupid, or checked my Sony Xperia smartphone that it was a pea crab and was safe to eat. So I ate it and it tasted like crab sauce.

The core hypothesis is that the startup team should be working in person to be more effective. If one doesn't agree with that, they have a great market opportunity - start "YC, but fully remote". YC is not going to compete there it seems.
Conversely the rate of increase in Type 1 was much smaller then Type 2.

> Relative to 2016 to 2019, in 2020 to 2021, the incidence of new-onset type 1 diabetes was 17% higher (incidence rate ratio [IRR], 1.17). The incidence was higher among patients aged 10 to 19 years (IRR,1.17), boys (IRR, 1.18), and Hispanic patients (1.21).

> Rates of type 2 diabetes were 62% higher (IRR, 1.62) in 2020 to 2021 than in 2016 to 2019. The incidence of type 2 diabetes rose from 14.8 to 24.7 per 100,000 person-years over that time.
Specifically for this community, it will be interesting to see what the agreements were regarding AI. That was a major issue in negotiations for both sides. I think the decisions here could go a long way in setting a precedent for how that technology will continue to be developed and how it will be used in the future.

For example, if the writers get what they wanted, it means Hollywood has little motivation to put its political might behind getting AI work recognized as copyrightable. The agreement may also include guidelines regarding when and how a writer's work can be used in training new AI models that would certainly have ramifications outside of Hollywood.
Sounds neat. Do you have the go code anywhere for folks to poke at?
The company I worked at before I joined the ISP had an AARnet connection via the university, and maybe this was operated by Telstra? It was at this company that I downloaded and compiled Mosaic for X.

By the time we started the ISP, which must have been 1994, I think Connect was up and running.

Yeah bandwidth was expensive, for others reading this it was 19c (or whatever) per megabyte of wholesale data - not per megabit/second. So if you downloaded a 10MB file then the wholesale cost was $1.90. Almost everything in Australia was charged by volume rather than capacity back then.

We started out charging $5/hour for dialup access - and we were super popular. Imagine that! Of course I had a PAPL (fixed line) to home, it was sweet.

I guess I’ve been permanently connected to the internet for longer than almost anyone in Australia.
I used an online request option, in 2018, which required LexisNexus to send me my "entire profile" — which resulted in a 150+ page document physically arriving in my mailbox.
To extend your metaphor, with a big "IIUC", there's a sense in which "neither side wants the land" but that's because there's another term in the contract where the party with the smaller portion on this 60/40 split gets something they both want even more than the 20%. They'd both rather have that thing, but they'd both rather have the 20% than not.
It’s a good idea to make this easier to report, but… shouldn’t it be on the AI company to train using legally acquired content in the first place? It’d be great if the training data was opt-in and curated. Wouldn’t that be better than a shoot first ask questions later policy? There’s definitely room to improve copyright and room to allow AI to exist, but do we really want to allow AI to ingest all copyrighted material and call it ‘fair use’? That would be giving them a ridiculous and unprecedented amount of freedom to take any and all content and turn around and auto-generate enough to obsolete the people who made the training material. It seems like the race is on to supplant Google as the portal for information, and it does feel like downloading everything in the world and then crying fair use after the fact is wishful thinking that more or less admits to copyright violation.

You can be a Type 2 diabetic for a fairly long time before you get a clinical diagnosis though. I wonder if the increased focused on health and seeing the doctor simply hit the throttle on a bunch of people getting the diagnosis sooner rather then later?

it's not, unfortunately. If the business isn't making _enough_ money (where "enough" actually means maximum possible out of all of possibilities), then you are better off switching the investment to the other investment that is returning more.
I haven't followed this close enough to know, but I assume that writers will use AI heavily. It's a great tool for brainstorming and creating drafts.
There have been lots of double blinds over the years.

So far as I know, the only people that reliably score above chance are those with defective hearing such that they hear mostly frequencies that lossy codecs aren't tuned for. Lots of belief to the contrary but almost no one appears to be able to deliver.

For reasonable bitrates, of course. Generally 256 and up.

Comparisons with FPS are either flawed or perfect depending on how you view it, because of the simple observation that there exists some number of frames per second above which any more improvement is imperceptible. It may not be 60 but it exists.

Very plausible that we reached that inflection point in audio fidelity a long time ago.

Long commutes are generally elective. And people generally elect them because they believe they have a better quality of life where they live.
Fandom (I really prefer their old name, "Wikia") is a great concept. Deal with hosting the wiki so you can focus on content. The problem is that they need to make money, and to do that, they do it with some of the most obnoxious ads on any reputable site on the modern internet. Using their site on a mobile browser is one of the worst web experiences I've ever had. Autoplaying video ad banners on the top with a smaller ad banner on the bottom while I scroll past an ad in the middle of the article.

I'm all for seeing wikis leave them because it'll be a huge usability win. Fandom can still fill the gap for small niche wikis that don't want to deal with hosting and such, but larger established wikis using their own platform will be great.

I'd say that 250-350 watt PSUs were very common in white-box/home-built PCs in the P4/Athlon XP era.

...and the vast majority of those PSUs were cheap off-brand units actually rated in unrealistic "Chinese watts", with 150-200 being all they could honestly deliver for anything short of brief spikes.

I think rather than "a similar metric for beauty" that the art of taking photos for retouching and posting on the internet for strangers is such a generally stale and predictable form.

The difficulty with any real life situation is in a large enough group there will be some portion of the 'fakers' that are actually really motivated to commit illegal actions.

Even online this issue occurs with forms that mock the stupidity of other groups, flat earthers being a great example. If left unchecked a forum can turn from satire to true believers.
I can share our experience with RabbitMQ/SQS/Sidekiq. Our two major issues have been around the retry mechanism and resource bottlenecks.

The key retry problem is "What happens when a worker crashes?".

RabbitMQ solves this problem by tying "unacknowledged messages" to a tcp connection. If the connection dies, the in-flight messages are made available to other connections. This is a decent approach, but we hit a lot of issues with bugs in our code that would fail to acknowledge a message and the message would get stuck until that handler cycled. They've improved this over the past year or so with consumer timeouts, but we've already moved on.

The second problem we hit with RabbitMQ was that it uses one-erlang-process-per-queue and we found that big bursts of traffic could saturate a single CPU. There are ways to use sharded queues or re-architect to use dynamically created queues but the complexity led us towards SQS.

Sidekiq solves "What happens when a worker crashes?" by just not solving it. In the free version, those jobs are just lost. In Sidekiq Pro there are features that provide some guarantees that the jobs will not be lost, but no guarantees about when they will be processed (nor where they will be processed). Simply put, some worker sometime will see the orphaned job and decide to give it another shot. It's not super common, but it is worse in containerized environments where memory limits can trigger the OOM killer and cause a worker to die immediately.

The other issue with Sidekiq has been a general lack of hard constraints around resources. A single event thread in redis means that when things go sideways it breaks everything. We've had errant jobs enqueued with 100MB of json and seen it jam things up badly when Sidekiq tries to parse that with a lua script (on the event thread). While it's obvious that 100MB is too big to shove into a queue, mistakes happen and tools that limit the blast radius add a lot of value.

We've been leaning heavily on SQS the past few years and it is indeed Simple. It blocks us from doing even marginally dumb things (max message size of 256gb). The visibility timeout approach for handling crashing workers is easy to reason about. DLQ tooling has finally improved so you can redrive through standard aws tools. There are some gaps we struggle with (e.g. firing callbacks when a set of messages are fully processed) but sometimes simple tools force you to simplify things on your end and that ends up being a good thing.
That's... what I said. It's not about making systems more secure but about documenting known insecurities.
Outdated Snap Packages
An unstable rocket (almost all of the big ones) is an inverted pendulum of sorts. The combined center of thrust and aerodynamic forces is usually below the C.G, and the rocket tends to tip over if not actively stabilized. To add a little, a slight margin of tipping is allowed, but the rocket tends to break up if the angle of attack crosses certain limit at high speeds.
To some extent, it's just numbers. People who work in tech in San Francisco are compensated well enough that living there is not a burden; the numbers are big for both housing costs and salary. Personally, I think the high cost of living areas work out in your favor. If the prevailing rent and food cost is $1/month, then it's going to be hard to ever find a salary that can pay for an iPhone. If prevailing rent and food costs are $5000 a month, whatever % they give you over the bare minimum will cover costs that are the same everywhere more easily. (As a corollary, keep in mind that rules like "only spend 25% of your take-home pay on housing" are not written with software engineers in high cost of living areas in mind. I pay 43% of my take-home pay on housing and the other 57% is a lot of money.)

The biggest cost of living issue that software engineers face there is 1) not working for FAANG but competing for housing with people that do (double if you have kids; remember that both parents can have FAANG salaries, and they will spend them both to get their kids into a good school) and 2) trying to save 20% for a down payment on a house while also paying rent. #1 is kind of a San Francisco thing; everyone wants to live in downtown Mountain View so they can bike 5 minutes to work, and Google pays better than the other companies nearby, so... if you don't work there you probably won't live there. Apartments in Mountain View are more expensive than Manhattan. My take is that the Bay Area really suffers from existing to serve one major industry; everyone else has the same job as you, and gets paid the same for it. There's also some personal preference involved; "I won't do algorithm interviews", "I want a 4 day workweek", "I want to work remotely" are all going to reduce your earning potential. Whether the upsides are worth it is up to you to decide, but you will be bidding against people that work in person 5 days a week that mastered the software engineering interview. As for #2, it takes time. Save as much as you can and you'll get there soon enough.

The body is a dynamic system. Predicting how much calories coming out is hard and changes.
It seems to me that it is irrelevant how many spike proteins the vaccines causes your body to make considering that most of humanity has had a real covid infection by this point.

The question would be if vaccine followed by covid infection produced more or less spike proteins (and overall health impact) than no vaccine followed by covid infection.

If you assume that hospitalization and death is correlated to overall quantity of damaging spike proteins then the default assumption would have to be that vaccines are highly beneficial.
It would be interesting to see how long it takes for a brand new (but "fully patched") Windows XP machine to be taken over by malware after connecting to the internet.

>I assume that writers will use AI heavily

Yeah, from a high level that is the question. Will the writers use AI or will the studios? Is AI a tool to make the writers more efficient or is it a tool the studios will use to replace writers. The writers generally have no problem with the former, but they wanted protection from the latter.
The FBI is concerned more with the militia-like "tacticool" style of LARPing.
Show HN: SlidePack – PowerPoint Templating Engine
We've been building a templating engine API for PowerPoint. It lets you generate pptx by replacing {placeholders} in slides and populating tables and charts from JSON data.

My friend used to work at a web marketing/user testing firm, where they had to hand-edit monthly PowerPoint reports for each of their clients. He needed a developer-friendly way to automate that work, so he started building SlidePack (and I joined later).

If that's a problem you've experienced, please try this out and let me know what you think. If not, I'd love to hear what you think anyway.

Netflix is a public company, so that investment tradeoff decision is being made about allocating money not between online netflix and mail netflix, but more like borax and mail netflix.
what about the margins
mRNA vaccines don't create circulating spike protein. The specific mechanism of action of mRNA vaccines is to create a spike protein inside a cell (muscle cell - it's an intramuscular injection) which then gets presented by the MHC-proteins on the surface of the cell.

This is a similar mechanism which viral-vector vaccines use as well.

This is quite unlike regular protein-bolus vaccines which do in fact just inject a bunch of antigen into your body.

Of course in all cases, intramuscular injections don't really enter the bloodstream anyway: the immune system picks up the injected material and it is transported by the lymphatic system to be presented to the various immunological systems.

Contrast to general viral infection where a self-replicating virus with machinery specifically intended to ensure it is packaged and secreted from infected as a viable infectious agent will basically run rampant until an immune response mounts...at which pointy our blood actually will be full of pieces of spike protein from your immune system shredding virus particles (which is why PCR tests can detect infection for weeks after you've cleared it).
