My feeling is it became politicized because the left saw it as a chance to expose Trump, and the right downplayed it to avoid impacts on Trump's reputation. Like because one side took one stance, the other side inherently had to take a different stance.

The right started out as "Covid is bad, but so is crashing the economy to prevent it", which turned into "Covid isn't that bad, wearing a mask is excessive", which became "The vaccine is more harmful than the disease". The left went from "Causing people to die is worse than any economy hit" -> "You should do everything possible to prevent it" -> "You should wear a mask at all times in public".

I often feel the left would have taken reversed stances if the right had taken the pandemic seriously. If Trump had advocated shutting things down and pushed strongly for vaccines/masks, it seems pretty likely the left would have called this an authoritarian overreach and/or highly questioned the safety of the vaccines.

In short, I think our culture is so highly polarized that as soon as something becomes a major topic, people immediately divide into separate 'sides' on it.

EDIT: follow-up question -- was the pandemic as polarizing in other countries besides the US?
I am confused. These are the lawyers that sued Tesla and won, not Elon/Telsa's lawyers, and they want that sort of payout due to the cost savings to Tesla? If so, I wonder who funded the original lawsuit -- was that not enough -- or was this the idea all along?
§102 (a) (3) in https://delcode.delaware.gov/title8/title8.pdf reads:

> The certificate of incorporation shall set forth [..] the nature of the business or purposes to be conducted or promoted. It shall be sufficient to state [..] that the purpose of the corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law of Delaware [..].
Another proof that life isn't fair. At the end of the day being the first or the best at something isn't enough to make you famous for that something. Sometimes, someone else beats you to mainstream fame because they either had better media connections or they just lucked out by coming out just at the right time while you were maybe a bit too early.

See various indie Steam games. 90% of them go unnoticed by the general public despite being decent and fun, but sometimes some famous streamer picks one up and then that one game explodes in popularity despite many other being better than it.

It's just how life works. It's full of randomness and brownian movement.
I got my license during the pandemic and it was not a requirement.
It's not nonsense, but it does depend on the specific definitions of "extreme poverty" as a technical term. What remains is an awful lot of mere "poverty" that anybody in Europe or the US would consider very, very extreme.

Part of the article is arguing for changing those definitions, though even revised definitions will still seem extreme to anybody in a wealthier country.

But the article also points out that improvements are being made. And it credits redistributive policies for those improvements.

> But now, it’s basically, “we want to protest something, we don’t want to show our faces, if the situation gets out of control we’ll be unaccountable”.

I wear a mask when out in public and my reasons, which are multiple, include but are not limited to "I have an immune compromised family member and don't want to be the one who kills them" and "I myself have been sick only once in the last 4 years and I'm pretty happy about that".

There's heavy use of EW on both sides. You need a fairly decent signal to pilot a drone like this as it has to support both sending video back to the operator and commands to the drone. As I understand things both sides are using these sorts of piloted drones extensively to attack any armored vehicles where possible and bunkers on the front line otherwise.

For example this rather depressing article cites Russian manufacturing capacity as outstripping Ukraine: https://www.foreignaffairs.com/ukraine/ukraine-losing-drone-...
What do you mean hard? I do this all the time with some bleach and a scrubbing brush.
Comments suggesting the CDC is telling sick people to go to work or airports are not consistent with the recommendations. The CDC is recommending people stay home/isolate during fever and symptoms, and consider returning to work after the fever breaks and symptoms start to improve.

FTA: "The CDC acknowledged that the eased isolation guidance will create 'residual risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission,' and that most people are no longer infectious only after 8 to 10 days. As such, the agency urged people to follow additional interventions—including masking, testing, distancing, hygiene, and improving air quality—for five additional days after their isolation period."

Given that many people were ignoring the prior advice before this advice came out, I doubt it will effect little change. The same recommendations should have been applied to all influenza-like-illness even before Covid, but people mostly just try to work until they can't, then stay home until they can, and come back to work anyway.
The thing is, they probably do exist. Especially in the US possession. You just don't get to see or hear about them.
> There's no doubt that there's a benefit to the employee, but for corporations to adopt this there has to be a measurable benefit to the company as well.

Thats a very Murican way to look at it. You know, workers Can also just demand it, worked for a lot og stuff in Europe. Like 5week vacation minimum. Unlimited paid sickdays, Paternity and maternity leave etc.

The idea that everything has to be a net positive for corporations is silly. We are a society of people, and corporations have to be a net positive for our society not the other way around.

It was a disaster because the incumbent administration was doing AccuWeather's bidding to starve it. The radar map dramatically improved after the transition to Biden.
Still shocked that the Steam client had to be running to use the trackpads on the Steam Deck when in desktop mode (since fixed). Not sure how great it is for desktop Linux to win with a fixed system image and Steam Client acting as Google Play Services, that's getting back to an Android model. But at least you can flash whatever you want on it and it doesn't have a locked bootloader, though they make it WAY harder to dual boot SteamOS than Microsoft does.
You'd think to prevent abuse/DDOS, but desktop app downloads manage without
Making initial page loads significantly faster, especially on intermittent mobile connections (which is an extremely common situation often underestimated by web developers) is worth a little bit of complexity, yes. And the entire point of these frameworks is to abstract away most of that complexity.
It's not just perfectionism, he struggles to get the machine functional at all. Afaik the original video (this post) is cut together from different runs and generally hides a lot of the scrappy issues with the first machine. He wants to get the new one actually working well enough to play consistently, and to be moved around.

This is depressing. I had never really considered chronological age when looking at batteries.

The longevity is really important for the ultimate economic viability and I’ve been tracking that to decide when to pull the trigger on a home battery.

A 6000 or 10 year cycle rating means functionally 10 years for a solar deployment because you are only cycling the batteries 1x per day. I was hoping you could get 20 years out of such a system (thus halving the cost). Bummer.
No wonder. Russian segment is the oldest, as it’s what started ISS. As far as I’m aware it’s also well above its guaranteed lifetime, as ISS was planned to be deorbited many years ago, but some nations keep asking to prolong its service.
Set maximum billable rate at minimum wage. That seems only fair solution. It is enough for many workers, should be enough for anyone.
Matrix has a flagship client that you can find endless usability complaints about.

Where are you getting this “no equity ever” rule? Giving equity to strategic advisors is very much a standard thing, usually with a two year vesting reschedule. I’ve seen it at every startup I’ve been at. Because, as you note, equity gives strong incentive to help you succeed.
On BTC I absolutely agree. The value of it is directly connected to how convertible it is.
And even more so, it's clearly a inflation vacuum. Without it, inflation would be much worse.
Yeah, I'm a 'roadgeek' and I thought many of the highway pages were overly verbose trivia. Long route descriptions clearly just taken from a map, random citations about ditch work in 2014 etc. Very little history or substance.
One problem I encounter with math wiki is that I almost need to know what it is before reading to understand the wiki page.

I think wikibooks is a good initiativ to solve this, and could be powerful when combined with a normal wiki.

Are you referring to what he published in 2016? Because it's much older than that, we used to call it Planet X.
R definitely has its warts, but I strongly believe that underneath them lies a beautiful and quite elegant language that's extremely well suited to the challenges of data analysis. If you're already a programmer, you might find something like Advanced R (https://adv-r.hadley.nz) to be useful to get a sense of what R really is as a programming language.
It has an intuitive element to it; we’re looking for the eigenvalue, the vector/scalar pair where the scalar has the same effect on the vector as multiplying by the matrix. And we’re comparing against something that looks vaguely like the magnitude of the matrix (shifted by the diagonal, and of course if you had a diagonal matrix, the eigenvalues would just be the diagonal).

Not a proof or anything, of course the proof is on Wikipedia and nice and elegant. Just a thought on the gut feeling.

I agree that it is a very nice result.
There's a Matrix quote that fits in here. Something about reliance on the system.

Not wearing a mask has zero impact on the person already sick. Them wearing a mask is 100% about being nice to others. There is no benefit to them.

Agreed. It's not like the days when racers had to hand-wind motors for higher performance. The hobby's now so popular manufacturers are producing high-end components in volume.
The four great game engines: Unreal, Unity, Minecraft and Godot.

I don’t think Minecraft is number four on the list. It might be number two.
This is because in addition to being the most sold video game of all time, minecraft is effectively open source. It's not literally open source, but you can decompile java bytecode with standard tooling, and symbols are available, either community-reversed, or official.
10 years isn't 11 months. ZIRP and a bunch of other stuff happened in between the two.
F1 is a sport for billionaires, and even the racers are all incredibly wealthy/fortunate nepo babies. Imagine if every kid in the US had the privilege/fortune to race carts/cars since they were little kids. Imagine the US football equivalent, where hundreds of thousands of kids are gradually filtered out all the way up to college and then the NFL, ensuring the absolute best of the best are ultimately selected.

F1 is by comparison the least accessible sporting path in the world. The drivers who make it are great but they represent a rounding error equivalent of a potential candidate pool.
This is my question. I don’t actually see any statements from the company here or in the post that you can actually self-host and point the app at your server. The app dumps you in a mandatory sign-up flow with no server url setting possible.

It seems more likely this is only open source for audit/transparency purposes.

It’s absolutely their right to do this, but they should make it clear.
They improved a lot in the past 10ish years.

The F1 under Bernie Eccleston was criticized a lot by becoming "boring"; not only because a particular pilot's or their team's dominance, but the broadcast itself. When NASCAR had already live pilot tracking widgets and speed estimations on screen, F1 fans still looked at an outdated, pixelated racing car tyre animation, and basically zero "insights" beyond speed trap measurements.

Around 10 years ago, Liberty Media took over and now broadcasting and event marketing is "modernized". It became fun to watch races even when you are not cheering for the top pilots, simply because live data is available and better communicated, making the race more interesting to follow.

Exactly, it's a nasty virus.

* I know someone that contracted Covid late fall of 2020 and is still disabled from Long Covid/PASC with daily fevers and fatigue. If they don't get a good night's sleep and eat enough, they're wiped out for 1-2 days afterward.

* Have another friend that is still dealing with smell and taste changes a bit over a year out. Luckily the "rotting garlic" smell and most everything tasting "bitter" (their words) has significantly improved. Now most things have a little bit of normal smell and some taste has returned.

* Another friend's step dad, in his mid 60s, had a heart attack and died a couple months after a week long hospital stay due to Covid. Hard to say exactly if Covid damaged something that lead to it, but his doctor thinks it's probably likely but can't prove it. He was maybe 25-30lbs overweight, which of course does raise the chances of bad outcomes from Covid, but no other chronic conditions like diabetes or COPD. He walked a few miles nearly every day before getting sick.

F1 is massively gaining in popularity around the world in recent years thanks mostly to the Netflix series "Drive to Survive". If you haven't seen it, it's really good.

Netflix are going to use the same template to make shows about other forms of sport.

At the risk of another downvote-avalanche in this uncritical echo chamber of anti-brexitism, I'll say that I still think it was a self-fulfilling prophecy. I was against the whole thing in the beginning, but there's no reason that it couldn't have worked out well for the UK, and where they're at now was in no way inevitable.

No, I don't think there's some deep state conspiracy to make it fail. That wouldn't make sense, since nobody gains. I do think that the self-defeating pessimism of the British has a big part to play though.
I wore one as a barrier against airborne particles. I’m sure it’s imperfect at that but also better than nothing. I also wear one when working with power tools that kick up dust that may be harmful to me. I can’t say that I feel particular political allegiance to anyone when I do so.

You are largely right, but they had advertised it visually very differently - on what people could expect to see - and for the price it really wasn’t better value than a special exhibition at the BM. I’m clearly still sore about it almost twenty years later!
That makes no sense, as it equally rewards lazy people with abilities too lazy to be applied, and people who took years out of earnings to learn new skills.

“ For a while it was: “we don’t like Donald Trump”.”

I’m about as liberal they come, and so are many in my circle. But not one person wore a mask for the sole purpose of not liking Donald Trump and then using a mask as a statement. That’s a bizarre take.

The law decides that. These compensations are not determined by some open "market" , but by what is basically protectionism for the legal professions in most countries. And guess who writes the laws.
At the Portland Japanese garden a few years back, there was an event where several prominent sushi chefs came to do a presentation. My wife asked "Why aren't there any women on the panel?" They responded that women's hands were hotter than men's and that affected the flesh of the fish, so women weren't great as sushi chefs. The entire audience laughed. A pall quickly settled over the faces of the men on the panel when they realized they had said something really stupid.

I've heard there are some really innovative women sushi chefs these days in Japan, which I'm excited to try to find in a week.
I'd really love it oh so very badly if the few Japanese HN commentators would chime in here. Baka!

In Japan, though, ramen is a dish with largely masculine connotations -- traditionally it is men who get misty-eyed about their favorite ramen restaurants, not women. Now that is changing as a new culture of "girl ramen" takes hold.

Tokamak is dumb. I'm sick of hearing about Tokamak.

The plasma in the Safire reactor has self-containing magnetic fields and doesn't need the $20billion+ super-magnet infrastructure. A Safire reactor costs under $20-million to build, and probably much less these days.

The Safire reactor can keep the plasma lit and going for hours if not days without interruption. The Safire reactor has been around for over seven years now.
