> reduces the risk of the worst symptoms quite significantly.

Right, reduces, but the full dose is needed to render the virus mostly harmless. My partner's coworker has Covid and one does of the vaccine, they are still severely ill.

As a Canadian (read: lab rat) I'm hoping this forced experiment I'm participating in, run by someone with no scientific background, ends well also. Thousands of lives are depending on what, at this point, amounts to a gamble on minimal evidence.

> consists of 2 world wars

Are you trying to go down the NRx rabbit hole of "World War II could have been avoided"? It's basically a Godwin's Law at this point. Most of the other conflicts you mention are actually American and Russian conflicts, so you're also falling into the trap of "America is the world".

> When has global political leadership ever not been “absent”

Plenty of times in history. Consider the 20th century. Almost all of it was defined by global political leadership.

I keep youtube logged in on all of my devices. I suspect it's just the algorithm being stupid.

I continually get suggested videos that are all already watched. I can't think of the last time I've gotten video suggestions that don't already have a red line at the bottom. At least it has stopped queueing up the same 3 videogame walkthrough videos I always click out of the minute they start.

> Rufus sucks for this purpose. It uses a weird partition scheme and custom bootloader that doesn't work with secure boot.

Rufus also tends to format the drive strangely for *nix ISO files also. Last time I used it the write operation failed and I was stuck spending more time than necessary repairing the drive's partitions just to make it visible to my machine again. What compounds this is the documentation which can only be described as condescending and hostile.

If memory serves, there's a section in the documentation's FAQ where the author spends a paragraph first telling you that it's good your having problems with your USB drive since it will teach you a lesson. I can never understand why some documentation writers feel the need to take digs at their users. Very odd.

Where could I go for resources on that?

> Would finding a romantic partner help with existential dread related to death?

For me it did not.

Yes, that's absolutely correct. In my case at least I remember occasionally waking up when I was very young in hysterics because of general existential dread related to death.

Possibly. Their laptop devices look excellent. On the list when my current device gives up the ghost.

Regardless, Pine does not look like a product I'd put my faith in. Perhaps someone else, sure, but Pine inspires no trust from me.

Well, as both an end-user and tinkerer, I'd rather not have to own two devices when I can go out and get one that will cover all my bases.

> Small numbers (1-3) of stuck or dead pixels are a characteristic of LCD screens. These are normal and should not be considered a defect.

Their product line does not really inspire much faith. I can't say I've bought a device in the past 10 years which has dead pixels on the display. To me, this is a defect, given that I can pick up a device, overwrite Windows with Linux, and have a device without dead pixels.

I've been curious about this recently actually. What are the downsides of "seeding" a plant with life to study how it evolves?

More like replacing random locks with junk in banks and seeing how long until they're discovered.

At minimum, the argument could be made that they were grossly negligent in how they conducted the experiment.

A little odd choice for marketing your project. This is definitely not an article that's positive towards blockchain.

> operate her own radio remotely

I can't tell if this is suggesting OP gaslight his mother-in-law

This is fantastic, good find!

What would be fun is the inverse. Feed in a section of Google Earth and have it generate a Minecraft world out the other end.

> Mathematical reasoning originating in the West

Well, the form of mathematical reasoning that's prevalent was actually first developed during the Islamic Golden Age. Most of Western math is actually imported from the East. Symbolic logic, also is of Islamic origin.

It can also worsen any other symptoms -- sometimes the depression itself too. For example, people who experience anxious depression may end in a much worse situation as a result of sleep deprivation.

This study always needs to be qualified with "your mileage may vary".

To clarify for anyone else, the poster and the author are not the same person! The poster looks like they discovered this, and posted it.

This is an, albeit somewhat comical, bug. I've got the same thing. A lot of other things in the site are broken too, most of the links at the top default to the /# link.

My guess is something is broken in their back-end, or this got found and posted before the creators were ready for it to get publicity. The sample code also links out to /#todo, so I think my "not quite ready" idea may be what's up.

Shame, this looks like it'd be a cool project.

Right, but the page itself is very sparse on details, and there's no way for me to find out that this phone is "hacker friendly". That's really what I was trying to get at. It would have made more sense to link to somewhere on the site itself, rather than a preorder page. This just came off as something using HN as a vector for marketing.

What is this? All I am seeing is an advertisement for a phone.

The cartels likely already see these as "automated", given that, like you said, the mules are very low value to them. Maybe not automated, but definitely 'autonomous'.

The FAA might take objection too. Some places won't let you have lasers within a certain range of an airport. Also, what happens if the mosquito turret mistakes a 747 for a mosquito? Sounds like an effective way to blind pilots. Cool idea though, might be fun indoors if your house is fireproofed.

It's additionally odd given that the GOP is (allegedly) the party of "personal responsibility" . You would think this translates to expecting parents to supervise children, rather than have "government interference" do it for you. Regardless of what you think of the law, it's effective at highlighting that the GOP isn't really the "small government" folks that pundits want to make them out to be.
