The big thing that is missing in this service is a community of like minded people. The service itself could be completely automated since the person is still just generic.

The one that always gets me for sheer ambition is the raising of Chicago.

"By 1860, confidence was sufficiently high that a consortium of no fewer than six engineers—including Brown, Hollingsworth and George Pullman—took on one of the most impressive locations in the city and hoisted it up complete and in one go. They lifted half a city block on Lake Street, between Clark Street and LaSalle Street; a solid masonry row of shops, offices, printeries, etc., 320 feet (98 m) long, comprising brick and stone buildings, some four stories high, some five, having a footprint taking up almost one acre (4,000 m2) of space, and an estimated all in weight including hanging sidewalks of thirty five thousand tons. Businesses operating out of these premises were not closed down for the lifting; as the buildings were being raised, people came, went, shopped and worked in them as if nothing out of the ordinary were happening. In five days the entire assembly was elevated 4 feet 8 inches (1.42 m) in the air by a team consisting of six hundred men using six thousand jackscrews, ready for new foundation walls to be built underneath. The spectacle drew crowds of thousands, who were on the final day permitted to walk at the old ground level, among the jacks."

It's clearly the patient's fault here. Every adult knows that in general, drugs cannot be mixed as easily as candy.

Also if you're seeing multiple doctors (like, for example, a general practitioner and a specialist) you should be transparent on what prescriptions you're already taking.
That's the wrong logic. Getting chickenpox disease makes shingles possible, as the body replicates the virus and then it lies dormant to become reactivated decades later as shingles. If you avoid chickenpox disease through vaccination, you have a 50/50 chance of avoiding shingles entirely and if you do still get it, it will be milder because there was less replication when you had chickenpox.

http://www.nfid.org/publications/factsheets/varicellaadult.p...

Getting chickenpox on purpose is not as good or better than getting vaccinated for it.
It's quite a stretch to call the Weimar Republic the 'best run country' in the 1930s..

Shingles and adult chickenpox are the reasons the UK National Health Service does not vaccinate against chickenpox.

They do vaccinate pregnant women who never got chickenpox and people with weakened immune system, though.

So it only protects based on "spreading" of disease?

Wouldn't this mean that the only people who are at risk are other unvaccinated kids? (because the vaccinated ones are protected already?)

And if vaccinations can fail, what is the failure rate? (is there a number, how do we know how much a concern this is?) I've never seen any data on this or proof of how/why this would work.
> Are you saying that _only_ unvaccinated kids get sick? And that they are _only_ protected by "space" made by vaccinated kids?

You have an incredibly poor understanding of vaccines and viruses.

The virus is going to spread regardless of vaccinations. But people who are vaccinated can fight it off much more easily and quickly. That lowers the risk dramatically for the unvaccinated when the vaccinated get rid of quickly. When you're fully infected, you're a carrier for much longer.
The scientific consensus is that it's something like this:

It's surely not a surprising concept that someone who chooses to put other people at risk is viewed differently than someone that can't make that choice?
It was quite a lot cheaper, AFAIK. To use a recent example local to me, in Portland, Oregon. We built a replacement bridge for an old one that was at the end of it's service life. The new bridge is largely similar to the old one. A little bit wider so it has wider sidewalks and bike lanes, but still it is a two-lane bridge. Adjusted for inflation, the budget for this bridge was 10x what the first one cost. And that doesn't include any overruns that may have occurred, that was just the sticker cost.

For various reasons that could probably be debated for a long time, big project construction now is much, much, much more expensive than it was a century ago.
What's "loose weight?"
Well it does already, if you apply for life insurance they do a alcohol/drug test, nicotine test, BMI, weight, blood pressure, heart rate etc.

Some companies insurers offer this sort of test to their employees for a health insurance "rebate" if you are deemed healthy.

On herd immunity, different diseases (due to how contagious it is, how fast is spreads, etc.) have different rates at which the population must be immunized in order to provide herd immunity. For example, a quick google search says that Measles is so highly contagious that you need 95%+ immunized to provide herd immunity. In places with lost of anti-vaxxers (e.g. California), you can easily have over 5% of the local population starting to believe this anti-vax non-sense.

As for why herd immunity is important, please read this recent twitter thread from the mother of a young child with cancer: https://twitter.com/SteamLaundry/status/1065153914100604928
That's a good way to ensure anti-vaxxers are both paranoid and violent.
But there is now a vaccine that can prevent it. One which has no other side effects. There is no reason not to get it.

The caption on the photo of Craig walking down the street reflects cultural mores of the era.
"Public admiration ... shouldn't fluster you. Ogling the ladies is a popular, harmless and flattering pastime you'll run into in many foreign countries. The gentlemen are usually louder and more demonstrative than American men, but they mean no harm."

It's a far cry from what we tell women these days, but for its time the mere notion of encouraging women to travel alone was progressive. That's what made the photos so special, Craig says. They offered a rare glimpse of two women -- behind and in front of the camera -- challenging the era's gender roles and loving every minute of it.

"I look at it and I'm taken right back and it was wonderful," she says. "I was an art student. I was carefree. I was 23 and the world was my oyster."

Years ago I disabled github notifications and ignored pull requests because honestly, 95% of them are crap. So many of them degrade performance, break unrelated features, or are incompatible with certain platforms. I don't have the time or inclination to sift through them all to figure out which 5% are good, especially since I'm not getting paid for it. Sorry.
Which is the scary part. A mix with air us explosive.
Why do you assume mine maps to nothing? Are you really arguing that the importance of cities is based off a single economic number or simply the number of people living there? I would say it's a combination of politics, cultural relevance, and economics mainly. Going down 1-4 in no order:

New York - huge center of mixed cultures, huge both population and economic output (larger than Chicago), and a big center of the fashion industry, art, etc.

DC - Capital with lots of political relevance, still good sized and has lots of other aspects that make up a city like good public transit

SF - The tech center of a world being increasingly run by tech, for better or worse

LA - Huge global entertainment hub, huge cultural mixing pot, huge GDP and population

I find this strong backlash interesting as I have no dog in this fight - I'm from a no-name suburb to a medium city in the south and am simply a lover of cities comparing what I have encountered.

This is misleading. Look what happened to Iran when they tried democracy. The west ruined it. We can’t have it both ways. Western meddling has caused way too much harm in the region, and it shows no sign of stopping.

Lease agreements typically entitle one to a property for a fixed period for financially agreed terms. It’s incredibly hard to evict a bad tenant. One’s past payment performance is a huge predictor for the future. An understanding of ones debt to income ratio is also useful in predicting their future ability to hold up their end of the lease.

It’s actually a completely reasonable use of credit report.
The situation in Yemen is complex. As I understand it, the civil war essentially started in 2014, when a group called the Houthis attempted a military coup, to seize control of the government over the democratic election process. These are the "rebels" referred to in the article.

Saudi Arabia has been supporting the government of Hadi, the former vice president who became president in Yemen's 2012 election. Meanwhile, Iran has been giving support to the Houthis. Again, the situation is complex, but it seems to me that without SA's military support, the coup would have been successful in seizing control of the country.

Imagine SA withdraws all military support, and the Houthis are successful in taking over the country by force. Is the world now a better place?

Maybe. Maybe not. I sincerely don't know. But if you felt intense anger while reading this article... I have to point out that you probably don't know, either.

The humanitarian needs in Yemen are immense, and heartbreaking; it's the poorest nation on the Arabian peninsula, and it's essentially run out of water. Maybe it's better to let the coup succeed just to allow some stability and rebuilding.

Just don't have any illusions on what you're actually supporting.

EDIT: And if you don't know what to think yet, or what's best for everyone... be willing to say that to yourself.
The Weimar Republic lasted until 1933. The 1936 olympics were a showcase of Nazi ideology and a propaganda coup. Germans were very cultured and educated - just look at all those Nobels.
Saudi doesn’t keep it’s mouth shut. It exports hatred and murder loudly, while it’s western allies keep their mouths shut or even defend them.
Actually, in Australia we prevented childcare payments for those who conscientiously object. Religious grounds aren’t accepted. It’s called “no jab, no pay”.[1]

It has arrested the slide in vaccinations, and in fact increased the vaccination rate by a few percent.

We also have strongly endured that groups like the Australian Vaccination Network are curtailed. They are now called the Australian Vaccination-risks Network, by court order after a statutory body the NSW HCCC pursued them.

You don’t need to make vaccines mandatory, you just need to have consequences for those who refuse; and you need to go after groups who peddle in lies.

The people I know who uneasy are not so much concerned with the fact that FB has done this; but how. Phrases that come up are: reckless, unethical, lack of transparency, immaturity, etc.
No, because lack of immunizations endangers your coworkers by compromising herd immunity, while unhealthy eating habits do not.
I can see nations such as India and Bangladesh getting into trade agreements with Western Governments to ensure them of continued quota in order to keep their masses employed and their economy intact. China is going to get screwed over severely for sure.

I rigged mine to boot off an SSD wedged into the "CD Drive" bay at the top. Cheapy connector to power it off the CD power connector and a SATA cable and it works great. There's an option in the BIOS to swap the disk controller to a dumb version, which works much better for me (I use ZFS anyway so any built-in RAID stuff just gets in the way), and that picks up the SSD and lets you set it as a boot drive.

I might think about rejigging my setup soon to use that SSD as an L2ARC cache and instead boot off a pair of USB sticks. 16GB of RAM max on the Gen8 is a bit of a pain with ZFS, so that might be a sensible evolution before I eventually look to get a newer model :)
I was raised as you were regarding this. However, I did have my kids vaccinated against chicken pox. Probably because my wife was researching the herpes virus at the time (she's a doc) and insisted.

There has been some work to translate between systems.

For example, see "Conversion of HOL Light proofs into Metamath" by Mario Carneiro, 2014: https://arxiv.org/abs/1412.8091

However, it turns out to be non-trivial, so it is not typically done in practice. Formalization requires very precise specification, and even slight differences can cause complications. But like many other things, who knows, perhaps there will be further progress in this area.
>But people who are vaccinated can fight it off much more easily and quickly.

What about people with compromised immune systems? Does the vaccine make their immune system stronger?

>... the vaccinated get rid of quickly.

Do you have any data to show this? While I know there are a lot of common beliefs about what vaccines do, has there been any studies comparing the speed of recovery between groups of vaccinated/unvaccinated and equally healthy people?
If a large enough percentage of people thinks that (and returning outbreaks show that this happens locally) suddenly the "vast majority" isn't vast enough anymore.

My number one pointer would be: Don't be afraid to scale either the routine or the exercises done.
There was an electro-mechanical landing simulator for the Space Shuttle, which "flew" a video camera over a miniature landscape. Unfortunately, it's very hard to search for, because of all of the Space Shuttle simulator products.

EDIT: The lack of references to those electro-mechanical video landing simulators is pretty dramatic. They came at the brief period of time when computers were powerful enough to enable very sophisticated motion control, but too weak for real time 3D simulation. For a brief period of time, they were rare and valuable equipment, then quickly became obsolete junk. There are simply no references to them which show that mechanism!

For an example of that period's motion control as used in VFX: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtPA6nIBs5g

Can anyone help find a reference?

Your questions are easily answered via Google. You clearly have an agenda here.
> So it only protects based on "spreading" of disease?

Yes. If there are fewer carriers around, the unvaccinated person is at lower risk. A virus depends on carriers to reproduce itself.

> Wouldn't this mean that the only people who are at risk are other unvaccinated kids? (because the vaccinated ones are protected already?)

Yes.

I think maybe the part that is evading you is that this is a game theory problem. One needn't vaccinate every person in order to stop the contagion. There is a tipping point. If enough people opt out of vaccinations, the population crosses the tipping point.

> And if vaccinations can fail, what is the failure rate?

I have no idea. I have read that it is non-zero for various vaccines. Maybe somebody else can help you with this.
> For future reference: do not try to escape from a malfunctioning elevator by yourself. The controller won't be locked out and the elevator can start moving without any notice. Use the emergency phone or button in the elevator and wait for a technician or the fire brigade to rescueue you.

I think this is very good advice for the US and western countries, where you can expect some technician/fire brigade to come and help. In the communist Eastern Europe of 3 decades ago, there were daily blackouts, and probably every single days a few hundred people got stuck in elevators because of the sudden loss of electricity. We all knew how to deal with the situation, it was part of life. A cable breaking was definitely unusual though. I never heard of it happening to anyone else.

I take the Acela from Boston to NYC often. It's okay but not great. Nothing like the TGV which I've also ridden.

If the trip could be two hours instead of 3.5+ that would be great but as it is it is barely justifiable over flight (being dropped off midtown is a big bonus tho).

The benefits for even longer travel just don't exist. Once you start getting into the 4+ hours on a train it's almost always better to find a flight.
Well in general yes, these types of articles will have comments for, against and comparative in nature.

Not to burst your bubble, but I don’t think my comment is saying it’s just as bad here, only encouragement to do a comparative analysis of the two systems. Maybe one is worse/better in terms of scale but dystopian systems are dystopian systems notwithstanding the scale.

Anyway you are obviously entitled to your opinion about my comment, but help me understand how you came to the conclusion my comment is “it’s worse here?”
