"Human-to-human transmission occurs through close proximity or direct physical contact (e.g., face-to-face, skin-to-skin, mouth-to-mouth, mouth-to-skin contact including during sex) with skin or mucous membranes that may have recognized or unrecognized infectious lesions such as mucocutaneous ulcers, respiratory droplets (and possibly short-range aerosols), or contact with contaminated materials (e.g., linens, bedding, electronics, clothing)."[1]
"Intubation and extubation, and any procedures likely to spread oral secretions should be performed in an airborne infection isolation room."[2]
Yes, it is, but IIRC the term "airborne" can also refer to disease particles that can survive in the air unencapsulated (such as certain fungi), and can therefore travel quite some distance, and can remain hanging in the air for hours.
Aerosols are heavier than air, and therefore have a very limited range and duration in which the virus can remain "airborne" in common parlance.
(edit: expanded the definition to include more than just viruses as I couldn't find an example of a virus that can survive unencapsulated)
"Shadowbanning" is if you do that without telling the user that they are banned, with the goal of them not realizing they are banned for a while so they waste time instead of trying to circumvent the ban.
And what do I do with my new phone? Just leave it there while I use the older iPhone? No. Realistically you'll use the new phone. The old iPhone is still not going to be used. So what do we do with them now? We install Linux or we just trash it?
Sell it or repurpose it, just like anything that gets replaced (fridge, blender, car, etc..)?
Just because your old device doesn't support linux doesn't mean it's a brick. (Surely you were aware before you bought the device that it doesn't support linux).
I've used WindowMaker as a Window manager for decades. Only recently did I decide to switch to Mate because I wanted a taskbar at the bottom with useful things like applets to show and switch Wifi/network, volume control and often-used icons/launchers.
TBH, if I could get things like tint2 and yabar working with the mate applets, I'd probably switch back to WindowMaker in a heartbeat.
FWIW: most systray applets work with any of WindowMaker's dockapp systrays, and there are a few dockapps (wmappl, wmbutton) that allow you a slightly more compact often-used icons/launcher thing. Mate panel applets do need the Mate panel of course but you can generally find equivalents for just about anything.
I don't run Linux anymore (not natively, for everyday use, in any case) -- like most people in this thread I also think the desktop is a shitshow these days but it's a particularly bad shitshow in Linux, and I was using Linux in 2003 so I know what a shitshow looks like. But when I do still need to touch a Linux machine, WindowMaker is still my WM of choice. It's really good.
Very glad to hear it, but the article isn't talking about Canada, and very little mining happens in Canada anyway. It's talking about countries where mining actually is a large scale activity, and those are predominantly dirty grids: US, Kazakhstan, China (before the ban), Kosovo, Russia, Iran.
So I fail to see how your anecdotal experience generalizes.
The part that needs more research is the level of difference between hospitalized and non-hospitalized COVID patients. They only had 15 who were hospitalized.
> Unlike in post hoc disease studies, the availability of pre-infection imaging data helps avoid ...
That depends on why the earlier brain scans were done.
edit - I didn't find discussion on the UK one, but an Australian study found those with some health concerns were more likely to accept the invitation. Not surprising.
He/she/it was informed about the banning, but didn't understand it (or missed the comment) and has kept posting for three years. (Mostly a string of the same, characteristic one-liner quips.)
> We identified significant effects of COVID-19 in the brain with a loss of grey matter in the left parahippocampal gyrus, the left lateral orbitofrontal cortex and the left insula. When looking over the entire cortical surface, these results extended to the anterior cingulate cortex, supramarginal gyrus and temporal pole. We further compared COVID-19 patients who had been hospitalised (n=15) with those who had not (n=379), and while results were not significant, we found comparatively similar findings to the COVID-19 vs control group comparison [...]
Occasionally, very occasionally, it’s nice to read somebody just expressing enthusiasm instead of just posting a clever counter argument. It’s like a spice that you only want a little of but that’s still nice
Eh, I can understand both sides of the fence. 'this is why I read HN' is nothing but a slightly more verbal '+1', but as you stated it does humanize HN and makes it feel more social.
In terms of downvotes, what really irks me and what I often see is people posting factually correct information, but still being sent into faded oblivion because some sect of the community's worldview doesn't agree with the facts.
I don't understand this viewpoint. Information being factually correct is a low bar. I have a lot of factually correct information that is irrelevant or misleading, or that I could state in a way that drags down the level of discourse more than it illuminates truth. Factually correct information is usually involved in tu quoque fallacies, or used to goad people into drawing false, non-sequitur conclusions. The Hacker News guidelines lay out a list of expectations for comments that go beyond factual correctness.
If someone uses factually correct information to make a comment thread worse, I can see how downvotes could be justified.
Since comment scores was removed this is the only way to signal this to others besides the original commenter.
That said it should not be overused. If it annoys someone I guess they should downvote it but I don't think there is a need to reflexively downvote every time someone adds a friendly meta comment.
(And if people start gaming it for karma farming I guess it should be downvoted relentlessly until that stops :-)
It didn't necessarily bring anything to this one conversation. It did, however, communicate that "this is the type of information that that person finds valuable on Hacker News". And knowing what other people in your social group like to hear/discuss is an important part of keeping that group vibrant and wonderful.
So no, it's probably not as useful as the comment it was referring too, but it was useful (to some of us) as it pertains to the community as a whole.
It's arguably even worse than just commenting "This." At least that is small enough you can scan over it and barely even register its existence. But this fedora-tipping "Thank you kind sir this is the type of Internet Content I enjoy!" doesn't even afford you that luxury.
I really dislike the downvote function because it reinforces self-censoring.
And I completely loathe the implementation of it, you need xxxx upvotes to downvote posts....I have no words.
Well, in opposing it I especially read the faded comments and upvote any of those that are not completely abhorrent.
This seems to happen a lot more frequently here than anywhere else.
I'm not really sure what that says, other than people still read comments that are faded. Also that people shouldn't worry about self-censoring.
I don't have a problem with downvotes or the karma needed to do it, but
I do sometimes wish it were possible to reply to a dead comment, especially if you vouch for it and it's still dead.
Sometimes they're worth defending, or is relevant in a non-obvious way, and sometimes the comment itself is discussion worthy, as it relates to the topic, even if it's wrong or seems trollish.
I think the point is to instead of using the keyboard, use the mouse to click the up arrow, and leave it at that.
(I know how tempting it is to reply quickly to something, I have the urge to just post whats going on my mind right away unfiltered. So I am very forgiving, but not everyone is)
That only tells the person who owns the comment that you appreciate it, with comment scores you're correct that almost all "I like this" comments are wrong, without comment scores then they become useful again.
Worth considering that comment scores were hidden for a reason. Exposing that information to everyone, as opposed to just the comment author, does not necessarily improve the discussion.
Ok so, what if I live with you but work in another city I travel to every week, do I not live with you? What if I'm a trucker on the move? What if I'm in the army and getting deployed?
Hastings once said that someone going to college sharing their credentials with their family at home is fine by him.
Let's apply some common sense, right. If you're a trucker sharing your account with your spouse at home is probably fine. Sharing your account with two dozen trucker buddies and fifteen cousins probably isn't.
In those 3 examples you’d still both file your taxes at the same address and be legally eligible to vote there too.
Seems easily distinguished from the case of independent adults who sleep in different homes every night and have separate addresses on all their tax forms, drivers’ license and voting registrations...
So is Netflix going to require tax information on everyone in the household? How can they tell the difference from their end I think is one of the questions being presented
Netflix doesn't seem to be cutting anyone off here.
They're just forcing 2FA on accounts that meet some kind of threshold of "suspicious" behaviour. There's likely a lot of metrics being used to identify that.
Seems like they aren’t asking for anything in particular for identity verification but just creating a slight annoyance via asking to re-verify.
Facebook does prompt people to upload Photo IDs sometimes but I doubt Netflix wants to get that invasive.
(I had interpreted the question as related to how to interpret the T&C. Agree that ultimately, it’s impossible to enforce the existing T&Cs to the exact letter, although some combination of annoyances and mild shamings might affect user behavior and presumably this is what they are testing.)
Presumably, this person that is on the move is still using the same device no matter where they go. Their login session will be the same, just coming from a different IP.
Readable addresses means you can go to some site for the first time and be sure it's the address you wanted. It's not a SHA256 checksum, but it's human-doable in some seconds.

Nowhere does it says that it is airborne.
