Unvaccinated youth is really interesting because they have such a clear intra age group network of contacts that they could still work like a conductor sending the virus "everywhere" even if they were the only ones susceptible. Even if the rest was 99% vaccinated, the remaining 1% of the rest would likely get it from the "conductor age group", at least unless they have so little contact with the "conductor" that they remain lucky until natural immunisation has happened within the "conductor".

But we'll be safe from scenarios like overwhelmed burial logistics in population centers so there won't be much pressure for action. Which personally I find a bit unfortunate, because with vaccinating going forward an additional month more of countermeasures has a well-defined benefit whereas earlier in the pandemic the benefit was a bit murky because countermeasures might have been just a delay of eventually inevitable infections. Cost/benefit is much better now, but cost of inaction is ceasing to be sensational failure, it's getting subtle now.

Lucky I think are countries like Portugal that have tackled a massive wave just before vaccination ramp-up, I believe that they can just watch as the infection rates recovering from hard suppression slowly creep up before vaccination eventually takes their sting, with little risk of another wave hitting unbearable levels.
That's cool. I am the author :) . Actually I submitted a direct link to the search a month ago, but didn't get any upvotes. So I'm happy that I got some now with the write-up :)
In my city about two lanes of every street are wasted for parked cars. So there is plenty of space for useful traffic if you get rid of those.
People are already chipping in - SpaceX gets a big portion of its income from NASA which is funded by US taxpayers, and also indirectly by all the ISS partners (Russia, Europe, Japan, others?).
> It's interesting to look at your comment, and look at the nasty comment that it provoked. This is the starting point of a cycle of nastiness.

One helpful technique is to read what you've written out loud and consider whether it's something you'd say to someone's face.
But then we also have "How boredom can boost creativity". I wouldn't say boredom is an extreme feeling.

It works nicely if you don’t use commercial apps that uses device identifiers for activation.

For such scenarios common by media creators external disks fail to “just” plug.
Some apps uses dongles or allow activating to usb sticks. But still it’s the exception.
I've personally be satisfied with what I'll call "informed" common sense. An example from health is the documentary "In Defense of Food" where the journalist uses a little science and history to create the heuristic: "Eat food, mostly plants, not too much." None of those insights are really surprising, the only exception maybe being the "mostly plants part".

A downside of depending on complicated theories from experts is that it makes a "priesthood" of people telling you what to think all the time. I think there are enough examples from health, environmental, and privacy policy making to demonstrate that the "priests" don't always have the public's best interests in mind.
Damn, I wasn't aware that they share this kind of information. Luckily I'm in Europe and I think here they'd need at least an additional opt-in to do stuff like that. That said I
have to say "No thank you, please don't send all my data to the cloud" at least 5 times when installing Windows 10 these days, so I'm sure they definitely try. I haven't used Azure in a while though so I can't be sure.

That's also why I use Sublime Text instead of VS Code and run a private Gitlab instance instead of developing on Github (barring open-source work, which I do in the open anyway), as I'm pretty sure MSFT will find an excuse to mine my telemetry data for their own benefit eventually.
That's a good idea. If I'm formally diagnosed with computer vision syndrome or something similar, I bet I could use a fsa card to buy it.
> As much as the organizations that I worked with don't want waste, the bias is to side with clean, unreproachable conduct even if this is more wasteful.

The problem with this, which few in the government seem to understand, is that knowingly and wilfully letting people die needlessly in a pandemic is deeply reproachable conduct. Personally, I'd actually call such conduct despicable. But my personal standards of conduct could perhaps be much higher than average, so we can leave it at reproachable as a basline.
I take it as no disrespect. I can understand why you would have this point of view. :-)

Strange that you feel the need to recommend a book by an author totally unrelated to this thread when you have not even read Wolfe. You have no reference as to what someone who likes Wolfe might enjoy.
Frequency is really the "adaptation parameter" of the grid, rather than voltage. For fast frequency response, the requirement is to "push" the frequency faster by outputting more energy.

Imagine being in a team of people pushing a car along a road at a steady speed (frequency). One of your colleagues trips over and stops pushing. You then can't maintain the speed without putting in more effort.
This is nuts. Housing inflation is rampant, I live in Sweden and my house value increased 40% in 5 years. We currently pay less per month for our 250 m2 house than my parents pay for their 75 m2 rental apartment.

I'm so sorry to hear about your fiancee. We don't know each other, but I can only imagine what that'd be like. Wishing you both a good 2021!
The greatest privilege is being born in the West in the modern day, to 2 loving parents. Even if poor, you already won the birth lottery compared to 99% of every human that ever lived. Other notable advantages: Intelligence. Attractiveness. Charisma.

Be prepared to be impressed. I got myself into a '21 Model 3 LR and the acceleration puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. And this is from someone with a very heavily modded 4-cyl turbo car with a medium frame turbo and 20psi. 340 ft-lb is nothing to scoff at when it's on tap instantaneously. I really want to take a Model 3P for a test drive, I wish I knew someone.

And the Model 3 has been around for 4? years now? The fit and finish I'm guessing has improved greatly, but I really have no idea. I ordered and picked up mine without ever test driving one. I guess I put a lot of faith in it, but I love it. No regrets. Bring on the electrification of all vehicles. Can't wait for an electric pickup truck.

The moon is a lot smaller than earth for one. I seem to recall it's comparable to the size of the USA, someone correct me if that's a bad memory.

The article hints at the choice of canola oil (popular in Scandinavia) but kind of underscores just how obvious of a choice it was for Oatly. I used to live in Skåne very near to the Oatly factory in Landskrona - there are enormous fields of rapeseed all throughout the area. I imagine that no other oil is nearly as cheap for them as canola.

Tangentially, rapeseed is quite beautiful when it grows. During its growth season it produces beautiful rolling yellow hills in Skåne.
I can't tell if this is a joke, but I'm going to humor you.

I think your money would be better spent on, say, therapy to help you deal with your issues of belonging. One movie starring an Asian-looking man is not going to fix your identity issues, nor is any external event.

Asians are less than 5% of the country, so there aren't as many accusations of racism when movies are missing them as when movies are missing African Americans. Also, the "Asian American" statistic includes people from the Indian subcontinent. So if you feel like you're in a country that has very few people who look like you, you're right! If you were white in China, you'd feel the same way.

Regarding Asian actors: John Cho has had a fairly successful career, and it's only on the upswing. The Netflix show Marco Polo is absolutely full of Asians. Lucy Liu is the star of a TV show and many movies.

I find it ironic that you're crying about discrimination, but you mention several times that you want to see a male playing a lead role. Everyone wants the world to be in their image, but it never will be. Do what you can to change it, and if you can't, don't make yourself miserable.

Edit: Main characters in Silicon Valley, The Big Bang Theory, Heroes, The Last Air Bender, and probably lots of other films are Indian. Ben Kingsley is super-famous and half Indian.
This is a much better article than you'd expect from the clickbaity title, seriously, take a look.
That's likely to be either this year or next year. NOAA puts out an update weekly, and they are currently saying "There is an approximately 50-60% chance of El Niño conditions during the next two months".

I think you're correct that our inability to explain consciousness physically is a deficiency in our explanatory power.

I also think it's nothing more than that.

At the same time I welcome those who dismiss wrong-headed attempts at grappling these issues out of hand. Why waste the time and energy?

The idea that consciousness is a state which matter can inhabit is pretty silly. I can appreciate what the writer is trying to do, however; in the end I don't see much difference between this and "spirit world woo". I do think that it's important to be concise and kind when issuing the dismissal (else it goes poorly received!).
Same with the Moore Law.
Your claim seems to be that insurance companies are colluding to reduce costs out of self interest rather than altruism. What is problematic about this?

Welcome to marketing. Pricing is rarely established by the cost of goods but by what the buyer will pay.

Guess why they require a CLA to be signed:
Without publication of the source code, Signal is treating the server code as non-AGPL. This is totally within their rights, since they own the code, including contributions, thanks to the CLA which allows re-licensing contributions under an OSI license, not all of which require disclosing source code for network services.

I think it does both but oscillates. At first people think it's an edge so it emerges as truth, then agents realize it's know and tweak around it.. but it's still the basis of their action.

All in all, I had the idea that pure chaos cannot be used so there will always have weak superstitious held as reference points for a game to emerge. The one who can play it right (or have enough resources to endure errors) or not when it shouldn't will benefit from the others.
That's not a great excuse. There are other ways to make money while not using personal data.
ofc. fees are just one thing. permission is the other much bigger benefit. it is not easy to send a large sum of fiat internationally. not even even within SEPA. fiat payments are easier but still not "easier" than crypto.
Before you do that, wait for the bear market and when the financial system 'goes back to normal'.
Well yeah, nobody uses crypto on its own, it's always in reference to fiat and Coinbase enables that.
As far as I understand it, this is meant as an open and standardized payment protocol that provides payment interoperability between different banks, but that protects the privacy of the sender (but not the recipient, due to tax reasons).

It doesn't have anything to do with crypto currencies like Bitcoin.
They do, but not in bulk. The idea that suddenly, all at once, the people short GME will instantly need to buy shares to cover their shorts is just not how it works.
Secondaries on Bitfinex are trading at $17 a pop equating to a $3.7B valuation for Bitfinex. This seems a bit low compared to Coinbase's for running the hodgepodge operation that is Tether.
Be careful, I think you need something like 50-60GB of free space to run it. And the script does not check the free space beforehand.
After the script is run, I think the OS X VM will occupy at least 25GB.

PS: the graphics performance is ok, but not great. I could not manage to install the extension package of VirtualBox, so may be if you can install it, then the graphics performance of the virtualized OSX will improve.
I must admit, I am morbidly curious to see where this conservative SCOTUS draws the line between casual observation and data harvesting. They make a big stink about being pro freedom and pro business, but this pits the two.

This sort of bad PR for Bitcoin and crypto in general could all be avoided if decentralized exchanges became a bit more fashionable.

I posted a link to http://bitshares.org earlier but now realise that there isn't that much information immediately obvious there on how the decentralised BitShares exchange works.

This episode from BitShares.tv provides a bit more information than the homepage on the main website:

Check it out if you're looking for a solution that avoids the risks associated with deposting to a centralized exchange such as Mt. Gox or Bitstamp.
Not sure if they still do it, but 37signals (now Basecamp) did 4 day work weeks during the summer: http://www.fastcompany.com/3000852/37signals-earns-millions-...
It was submitted as a patch series to the Linux kernel mailing list, with proper "Signed-off-by" headers in the commit messages. So presumably it's usable under GPLv2.

EDIT: I was referring to the kernel support, but it looks like you might have been talking about the code on Github which uses the LibOS API. That does indeed seem to be missing a license.
TFA seems to build upon confusion of how "simplicity" is defined.

It's easier to compare it against "complexity" which is the sum of parts; e.g. a complex machine, so "simplicity" must be attributed to an atomic design of "the smallest part which cannot be broken any further"; i.e. think of a simple machine like a lever.
For a moment I thought that they'd just received more money, but it seems like it's just a confirmation of earlier rumours: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1941227.
If someone is desperate enough, they can recreate the repositories using google cache. See http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:YiBFZmB...
It's fine, it's a harmless abbreviation. Yes, we know, x86 means "ends in 86", but it doesn't matter.

x86 is inaccurate anyway, since people actually mean >= Pentium.
Same here. We used Slack and liked it. We're now using Teams, it's tolerable but Slack had significantly better UX.

The Android app in particular has trouble. And muting is all-or-nothing.

Microsoft was planning this 20 years ago with WinFS, to be shipped in what became Windows Vista. For many political and technical reasons it never came to pass. Some of the folks working on it went on to work on what became OneDrive though.
In this case, it was because the bolt handle on the m1889 worked just as good on the K-31. While the Sig 510 doesn’t require you to pull the bolt each time you fire, it did need a handle to grab to load the rifle - why create a new part with a new supply chain? After all, the older rifles were still in service for years after the new one was adopted, so re-using the same handle meant they only had to stock one part in their armories instead of two.

Stateful proxy and horizontally scaling them is not easy. I doubt this approach will be hugely popular.
Yes in regards to the first two examples. The third seems to confirm that you're really not enjoying where you're working!

I've definitely experienced a slowdown in my continued learning of development by working in a company dealing with niche languages & legacy systems. That knowledge is useless to me now. However there was learning & development in other areas, so whilst my coding skills suffered, other skills improved and I became a decision-maker, team lead and useful enough to a client that I was hired by them for a significant pay rise. But I definitely should have left earlier than I did and spent more of my free time practising the coding skills I was neglecting.

But as you say, after a full day of coding it can be hard to find the motivation and mental energy for more coding & learning. We do benefit from variety in our lives, so usually there is less time than we'd like for everything in our lives. Now that I almost never code during the workday I really enjoy the times that I do code at work, or on side projects in the evening.

Your last point, about being ignored, is a mix of having the soft skills to steer people to your view and working in a company where that's a normal process. If decision-makers don't want to listen then no amount of persuasion will get them there. For other situations, it tends to be about framing or finding a path for people to come to their own conclusion, such as proof of concepts, pair research, etc... Assumptions of expertise and ignorance tend not to be helpful. I've learnt a lot in my time from working to understand why people think a solution isn't right.
Flying over somewhere is not the same as walking it, or even passing through it on a train.

There is nothing we can do that will kill all life on Earth. We are simply not that powerful.

As a race, we've been through Ice Ages that have seen most of the world covered in ice, and a narrow strip of habitable land around the equator. We survived all that with no technology to help us. Twice. We'll cope.
"One real-life example that comes to my mind is whether we should have done COVID vaccine challenge trials."

You don't know what the result of the trial will be, already taking us out of the domain of the trolley problem. If you knew it was going to kill everyone who had it but you'd get this particular bit of info that was guaranteed to have this result for the general population, then we'd be much closer, but there are multiple false assumptions to get there... and we still haven't discussed all the different ways we could run the trial because it's not a matter of "Either we do the trial this exact way, or we don't"; do we do a double-blind? Base it on multi-armed bandit math? Do we focus on certain demographics? And so on and so on.

Not a binary choice between these two guaranteed results; a huge range of possibilities, unknown outcomes, even things that are hard to measure outcomes.
There are more people in the city, but are you sure there more truck purchases? I'm not, but all I'm saying is that I wouldn't be surprised if there weren't.
1. Historically that's not true.

2. Even if it were true, that would imply SFH are superior. There would be no need to make SFH-zoning mandatory then. The free market would show that SFH is the most cost-effective.

3. If there were folks living in an area that was previously SFH-only that's now becoming more and more filled with multi-families that would imply their SFH are now worth more and more. If they actually prefer SFH living they would cash-out and move to an unpopular area where SFHs are the norm. In practice what a lot of these people want is to live in a popular area, but not have any neighbors. In effect this is at odds with a democracy - the will of the minority must not override the majority.
I would say women who study computer science get a huge boost in attractiveness. Every year there are around 100 boys and 2-5 girls in first year of computer science at my university. As a computer science student you don't see many other girls, so after a while the girls can choose whoever they want. To be honest it's really sad, there are girls who realized that they can date two guys at the same time. The guys know about each other.
