How does ethics play into this at all? Pfizer is delivering vaccines as fast as they can, and at this point the bottleneck is logistics. It’s not exactly easy to set up the infrastructure to administer 14 billion shots. The fact that Pfizer

I wonder what quality the “raw” camera has. My understanding is that the software has a bigger difference on the end result than the actual optics. So much so that Apple has a dedicated image processor as part of the Bionic chip. Not to men

> If DO_NOT_TRACK suppresses the honest software Ahh, my big issue is that I don’t mind tracking in genuinely honest software. Want to know how many people are still running your app on 32-bit machines and that’s it? Be my guest! It do

This would be the demise of the human race. I’m not entirely opposed to that, though. When AI inevitably outperforms humans on almost all tasks, who am I to say humans deserve to be given those tasks?

The cure will always be 5 years away (until someone figures out how to convince pharma that they don’t actually need that $45B/year that comes from selling treatments).

What does it do for shades that aren’t those 8? Does it apply any sort of dithering? Maybe it just needs a better lookup table or some preprocessing. I’ve seen some impressive 1-bit displays, so 8 shades shouldn’t be harder than that.

I’m slowly making that switch. It helps to have Plex Amp, which lets me stream my (lossless) library to my phone over the internet.

I don’t think it’s fair to ask a US company to comment on legalities outside of the US.

As an early Bitcoin adopter who was robbed of a house worth of coins by an exchange (Quadriga), I can’t stress this enough.

My boss has a video of someone jacking up his Model 3 and sliding underneath (thankfully leaving with nothing). I guess thieves aren’t always the brightest bulbs.

Hm, no support on iOS sadly.

> which is supposed to be a free country A common misconception. The United States takes the constitution seriously, but doesn’t even rank in the top 15 countries according to most freedom indexes.

This is awesome! My only request is to polish it just a bit more when you add it to the home screen. I’d love for this to feel like a native app. Nominally: - The default title when adding to the Home Screen is “React App”. - The icon cou

I imagine the project would be broken into hardware challenges (mechatronics, electronics, and manufacturing) and software (AI, programmability). Most likely because everything you could need in the software world is free (eg Tensorflow, CU

I think you would be the exception. In fact, you may the only person I’ve ever heard express this preference.

> People in China do 996 and it works for them. I’m not sure I’d phrase that so lightly. The 996 work model has been compared to “modern slavery” [0]. I’m not sure it’s comparable to the article either, since 996 isn’t a choice that offe

Just curious, are you on the free tier? Just wondering if 300k queries per month is sufficient for the average person. I have no reference to base that number on.

Have you noticed all the ads say “Hackers can spy on your connection when you log into your bank at Starbucks.” That’s complete FUD. HTTPS completely avoids this issue ( especially with a bank). Very few websites use HTTP now. While VPNs d

Awesome! You may want to give a brief description in the readme about what it is (for people not coming from this forum).

Do you get enough natural sunlight? My location currently gets over 15 hours of daylight so I try to spend at least 4-5 hours outside.

Training isn’t some magical way to transform an engineer with a skill set into one with a different skillset. I don’t think it’d be possible to train the React dev in kernel programming unless they had a serious interest in low level stuff

Do insurance companies actually pay full price for these drugs? I was under the impression that (at least in the US) it’s a bit of a racket where the bill will say $1000 and insurance will make a deal with the supplier to pay $100 (while si

What is “annual cost based on length of therapy”? If you take a pill for 3 months at $10k/month does it have an “annual cost” of $120k or $30k? And if it’s the latter then it would be less confusing if “annual” were omitted.

I couldn’t find the exact number of “millions” that Apple paid. Is it part of a class action lawsuit or did the entirety go to the one plaintiff? It amazes me that workplace conditions causing loss of life can be settled for much, much less

I don't believe that's a valid excuse in 2021. In 2017? Sure -- maybe. Even complete luddites don't use IE anymore because it hasn't been the default browser for many, many years. While I agree there ARE some industries

Reminds me of a factory tour I went on where a big fancy robot was assembling car parts. I was told not to take photos — not because the robot was secretive (and in fact the same one was used in several factories), but because the computer

Oh, definitely clear that up! I always check the pricing page before signing up and that was an immediate nonstarter for me. Unlimited individual + 3 team projects seems more reasonable.
