The US, which is what I have seen data for, is nowhere close to 100%. It's at ~75% per https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/covid-vaccine-tracker-glo...

Now some states _are_ close to 100%. Some are close to 60%. Investigating the differences in approach that lead to those differences in numbers mostly comes down to whether states prioritize vaccinating people or creating complicated rules and sticking to them.

When combined with things like this from https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2021/feb/14/w... : "Instead we have a patchwork of approvals and I have 70m doses that I can’t ship because they have been purchased but not approved. They have a shelf life of six months; these expire in April.", it sure seems like a large part of the apparent supply bottleneck is self-inflicted. Some basic "if it's approved in another G-8 country (or whatever criterion you want to pick) we should auto-approve it here" logic would probably significantly help with this sort of thing....
In my previous job, I used Nomad and Consul to deploy and scale my machine learning models on Linux and Windows VMs without using any container technology. It was so fun and easy to work with.
Do note that the workforce in tech is already like 20% immigrants. They don't have a cultural mismatch. They can go back to their countries and work remotely at lower cost of living and possibly lower taxes.

Companies generally only allow this when they are forced. There are limits to remote work.
Not really, the parent wasn’t suggesting developing a new standard, only settling on one.

I'm sure the existing contracts are being fulfilled, but as soon as Apple announced they were transitioning their product line away from Intel they became competitors.
Two competing interests: let's ban our political opponent and let's keep our cash cow.

The middle management & line workers of Twitter can monetize their small Twitter stock portfolios pretty quick without shifting the market all that much. Jack, on the other hand, would take a major hit if he tried to sell off his.

Clarification on content_sesh's good point: I don't assume whether Jack agrees or disagrees with Trump's points. They are billionaires, might be "frenemies" for all we know. I do assume Jack likes a cash-cow for his major property, Twitter - and tries to balance the upsides & downsides of hosting Trump's contentious content.
thanks, yeah havent implemented stalemate, and the ai is a bit crufty. funny to see you call it fast; with -O3, which is whats online, it takes up to ten secs and when enabling debug symbols, it takes millenia, likely because my vector implementation is relatively slow
It's worth noting that there are workarounds, although none are particularly great:

1. The Mac mini form factor officially supports two external displays. One must be DP/TB3, the other must be HDMI. However, I would argue that the Mac mini is the least enticing form factor in the new line unless you have very specific requirements, and the need for two different protocols is both annoying and confusing.

2. Sidecar works just fine. This is my current solution of choice.

3. You can configure a Raspberry Pi to act as an AirPlay display. The software I attempted had a hardcoded resolution, and any attempt to change it failed.[0] You can see from that issue debugging is still a work in progress, but it's fairly tedious, and I haven't made much progress since my last reply--all of my attempts have failed to produce meaningful info. However, if you have a screen with a very common 16:9 resolution officially supported by lots of Apple devices, this will likely work quite well.

4. You can use an Apple TV as an AirPlay display target, provided your monitor is one of the supported 16:9 resolutions. 1920x1080 is a safe choice.

5. You can get an AirPlay-capable display. I haven't really looked into this, as it seems like a fairly limiting criterion. I suspect my options would be limited to projectors and overpriced TVs. I could be wrong--again, I haven't checked.

6. Some people have reported being able to get DisplayLink working.[1] I plan to try this, but I haven't gotten around to figuring out which of my adapters support DisplayLink. I'm hoping I'll be able to get this to work with the adapter plugged into my CalDigit TS3+ dock so I only need one cable.

Side note: despite the limitation, I got a CalDigit TS3+ just to dock my M1 MBA. My Intel-based MBP had four TB3 ports, which meant I could connect it to my dual-monitor KVM with three cables (2x DisplayPort + 1x USB) and still have one for power. However, even with only one DisplayPort cable, there still aren't enough ports on either the M1 MBP or M1 MBA. It works great, aside from the fact that I'm wasting a monitor.

The export certainly was - but the 1A provided a loophole - they printed the code for PGP into book form, sent THAT overseas then scanned and OCRd it.
Once you actually look, you'll likely be surprised by how much RISC-V resembles MIPS.
It almost did for me. I thought that you should be able to divide each number by 2 (or shift one bit) before adding, but that would lose a 1 if both numbers have 1 in their least significant bit. The part with "a & b & 1" fixes that exact issue and is obvious to me in hindsight.
CoD mobile pits you against bots and low-elo folks until you're invested, which is definitely a dark pattern and not at all skill-based.
In magic the gathering, the standards are divided in three: casual (called regular), competitive and professional. Basically the competitive mode is for people who play the game to win, sometimes with small prizes, but still want a very clean playing field. I feel that the standardized hardware and drug tests are feasible at professional, but not competitive, and anti cheat rootkits is interesting in competitive.

> Just as we have 'human-readable code' why shouldn't our laws be machine readable? Computers can remember/understand 200+ years of case law probably better than humans. Again, this is something that we could test.

Great website, however I'm going to play a straight bat on this one.

While I think expert systems have enormous potential to reduce costs and errors in legal matters, the fact remains that when the law is against your client, you must still try your level best to generate a new exception if they insist on going to court against your advice.

There is also the problem that large parts of the law rely on judicial or executive discretion, thus leading you computer to do what lawyers do: say "maybe" and bill you $600 for the time to say it.

I'm guilty of the same idea, by the way: http://clubtroppo.com.au/2007/08/25/programming-in-legal/

These days I am less confident that it would work for the hard cases; but it could expand the field of bread-and-butter legal work.

Yeah I think so! I'll have to try the other recommended restaurants to see if those are accurate.
I used to live in Fairfield, which is midway between SF and the state capital. It is in Solano County, which is basically the cheap seats of the Bay Area. It likely won't be quite the hot spot you are looking for, but last I heard, about 40% of people in Solano commute to jobs outside the county in other (pricier) parts of the Bay Area. Some people even do that without a car. Transportation alternatives in the Bay Area are almost as good as Europe (or at least way better than anything else I have personally seen elsewhere in the US). There is commuter rail, decent bus service, and all kinds of creative options that for me were strange and new.

So if you can find a place in Solano County, you can reduce your living expenses somewhat. (Last I checked, for $1k/mo in SF, you can get an SRO rental...but there may be a waiting list and it's a total dive. It's possible to work full time and be homeless in SF.)
Assuming WiFi connection? A fair number of iPads are WiFi only anyway.
Could Amazon fork Android? They're big enough and have enough engineering horsepower to do it. It feels like this is what they'd need to do to be confident that Android is feasible in the long run, since I think their cloud services/advertising and Google's eventually go head-on.
It would be similar to Matt Cutts registering some username and defending Google's efforts at defeating webspam (or telling us that Matt Cutts is a pretty cool guy). Surely any opposition to this doesn't defy logic, so what is the difference? He didn't merely create a fake account and post under it. Scott Adams created a fake persona and used it to help persuade people when it comes to things related to Scott Adams.
There's nothing wrong with a famous person having psudeo-anonymous accounts that aren't tied to their real identity, but to then defend themselves as if they were not connected... Well, that's just not cool.

Cortex, who posted what you quoted, was drawing that line. Be anonymous and on Metafilter, but avoid commenting on yourself as somebody else. Or he can be himself (which lots of "famous" people have done both on Reddit and Metafilter, and HN for that matter.)

At best a sock puppet makes it look like the author has one supporter more than he actually has. So what? No one's going to be swayed by one supporter. Moreover I think someone like Scott Adams should have the right to defend themselves without people automatically dismissing it as self preservation.

I'm actually kind of confused why you think it isn't a problem to use dishonestly, since speaking as if you're not person X is dishonest, isn't "harmful" in a community or to a discussion. And, honestly, I can't think of many reasons I'd want the famous person to lie to defend themselves. If it's defensible and they're famous, lots of intelligent and well-spoken people will be there to their defense.

See John Lott/Mary Rosh and other cases where people have been found out. (Or authors using fake names to give 5-star reviews on Amazon; or game devs posting reviews with fake names on metacritic.)

I'm not 100% sure where investors fit in, but my current hypothesis is that "pure" investors (i.e. people who supply only money) are like armed forces: they do not themselves create wealth, though they can sometimes create an environment in which it's easier for other people to.

It is amusing that you believe government would stop corruption.

History proves that to be false

Further "just make it illegal" under which nations laws? That was the problem ICANN was suppose to solve, no one wanted the internet to be operated under the Laws of the US, which is why in 2016 the US removed itself from Internet Governance.

So do we put the Internet under the laws of China? or the EU both of which have Free Expression issues....

Which nation? or maybe the UN which has Dictators and human rights abusers in positions of power...

Decentralization is far far far better than looking to a government resolution
I think a lot of it is down to people being clueless about what colour temperatures mean and what should be used in what location. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people assume "higher is better".

You also need to consider outdoor lighting such as sodium vapor lamps have much lower colour temperatures of around 1700K, where as off-the-shelf LED bulbs only go as low as 2500K.

Not to mention that society is probably better off when parents are raising their own children.
I do ok with text, probably purely due to practice. (Playing MUDs, writing stories, etc.) I've learned what kind of things trip-me-up and carefully read everything twice before hitting submit.

To be perfectly honest, the main problem I have with CLIs is that there's no safety net, and a single typo could lose hours of work or loads of files. There's no Undo, there's no Recycle Bin (or Trash Can or whatever you want to call it). It's unforgiving and I make a lot of errors, and the combination of those two things is that I have zero confidence so I avoid them whenever possible.

I can't think of any development-related task I've ever need to do where it's helpful to "compose tools into pipelines", except building the solution which Visual Studio just kind of magically does for me.

And yes, obviously I know Git is best used from the CLI. I hope you realize how off-putting and discriminatory that feels to somebody like me... especially now that it's become a de-facto standard before it has a single reasonable GUI in Windows. I can't even imagine how a workplace adopting Git would feel to a person with a real physical disability.

> Presumably one of those encodings is the underlying representation, and accessing it in any other representation is going to cause a horrible hit to performance as it thunks between the two.

Which does not usually matter, you're accessing it in a specific representation because you need it in that representation, usually for IO. The "horrible hit" is one you'll have to eat either way. And if you're baking the implementation details of your internal strings into your IO… god help your soul.

That aside, there's not much of a horrible hit unless you're preallocating the whole output string every time. Swift has iterators/iterables built in and I may be mistaken but I believe Swift does the sane thing and exposes noalloc iterable views, you're paying for some bit-twiddling (for the transcoding itself) and stack-allocated int8/int16/int32. Not sure how good Swift's compiler is, but I know Rust's can turn such iterations into the equivalent of the corresponding C loop, there's little to no overhead.

> In practice it feels much better to define a encoding for the platform

Why? What does that give you, aside from exposing broken implementation details as the type's public interface and having unfixable string for a decade (see: Java and everything Microsoft, because they exposed strings as being O(1)-indexed UCS2 code units early on).

> Ideally, the encoding would be specified in the type - e.g. String<UTF16>

That's crazy talk, why would you encode the implementation detail of the string's internal encoding in the type interface? I can think of a hundred things I'd put there, but the internal encoding?
Apparently, the term "carbon footprint" was popularized by the oil company BP over a two-decade, multi-million dollar marketing campaign in order to convince "ordinary people" to take a share of blame for environmental change, even if their impact is negligible compared to mass polluters like BP. After all, it is more difficult to blame someone else if you yourself feel like you are part of the problem.
Apparently, they are also behind all those "carbon footprint calculators" appearing everywhere.

TA compares this to a similar campaign by Coca-Cola, PepsiCo and Anheuser-Busch to "stop pollution" and recycle (these companies themselves are responsible for a majority of plastic waste and recycle hardly any of their bottles).

The article also mentions that even though most people severely cut their "individual carbon footprints" during the pandemic (especially by not flying and not driving to work), the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere is still 92% of 2019 and at the same level as 2010. That because the large climate polluters are releasing more than ever and cleverly shifting the blame for it to everybody...

I'm not sure yet which consequences to draw from this but the interesting part for me was that I myself had totally jumped on a hype train created by Ogilvy & Mather on behalf of BP without any idea whose ideas I was actually parroting when telling colleagues to "fly less and reduce their carbon footprint" etc. Certainly another lesson to be more critical of the thoughts and truths we all consider obvious and self-evident in everyday life.

Yeah, autoconf/autotools are a mishmash of old tools and scripts put together.

I still can't get my head around what it actually does when you do ./configure (probably conjure some 70's Unix daemon to make sure your machine is not some crazy variant with 25-bit addresses) and I tend to avoid it whenever possible

It's not black and white. If the court takes the case in Europe, it probably has some merit. If the little guy then loses, the court will then often decide it needed to be tried and both parties will cover their own expenses.

> When I upload photos to Instagram, I am not explicitly consenting to my photos being used for people's fetishes, even privately.

Well, they're in facebooks domain now, so you really don't have a tell in whats okay and what not after you uploaded them[0].

> but I still find it morally wrong and disturbing.

that's okay of course, but it obviously won't stop anyone from doing anything they deem okay and acceptable. How are the supposed to know what you find morally wrong and disturbing, anyways? For all they know those pictures are public and you want to present yourself to the world.

> legal to republish someone's public Instagram photos

According to the link that's instagrams business, not yours. If facebook doesn't care then there's not much you can do about it since you don't have royalities over the pictures in which you appear.

> But legal or not, I think it ought to be considered common decency not to post photos of someone on a fetish website without asking for their explicit permission to do so

Some people would consider "not poisoning the public water supplies forever" common human decency, but that doesn't stop multiple actors from doing so. "human decency" is not worth a penny on the internet, which is in my opinion common knowledge that we try to teach kids in primary school here. It does not matter what you think, since it's out of your hands you made your data public.

That depends on whether there's documentation that Google legal did indeed approve the release of Google-owned code under the Apache licence as Steve Weis claims.

If not, Google can't claim to own the whole project, but they can claim they own bits of it and refuse to allow distribution of those bits, just as they could if someone had release core parts of the Google search algorithms without permission. In that case, the choices for the project are to either create a clean fork without any of the Google contributions, or cease distribution altogether. It also leaves downstream users in a somewhat awkward legal position. I certainly wouldn't want to depend on the project for something that directly competes with a Google service, for instance.

Still, more likely it's just a mistake by Google legal and furthermore, it's highly unlikely they would go around suing people, especially when it's not 100% clear that the IP was released without permission. Still a bit of a messy situation though.
