I cannot reply to your other questions in replies to me because your submissions are flagged.

In one of your replies you ask, "Other comments state that anyone can carry the virus, even vaccinated people though..."

Vaccinated people will fight off the virus and reproduce a lot fewer copies before their immune system knocks it out. This is effectively near zero compared to a vaccinated person.

As for game theory, every person is making a choice (or his parents are). One can be a "free rider" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_immunity#Free_riding). If there are too many free riders in the population, any infection will ripple through it into those who are not vaccinated.

It's totally fine for a small number of people to be unvaccinated. When they start using Twitter and it becomes a large enough number, the population crosses the tipping point, infecting the unvaccinated who benefited from the herd immunity.
No it doesn't. I've read manufactured consent. I understand and see the propaganda being targeted at Iran by USA, Saudi, & Israel. This is how we got into the Iraq war. I would like sources.

> Each bit stored in dynamic memory must be refreshed, typically every 64ms (called Static Refresh). This is a rather costly operation. To avoid one major stall every 64ms, this process is divided into 8192 smaller refresh operations.

It implies that the length of refresh operation is roughly linear in the number of bits being refreshed. Why is it impossible to parallelize this?

> Typically I get ~140ns per loop, periodically the loop duration jumps to ~360ns. Sometimes I get odd readings longer than 3200ns.

What's the cause of the 3200ns+ readings?
You still haven't provided any sources. These are all opinions at this point.

Towards a shared utopia: Flat-sharing alternatives
I considered that option, but as far as I could find out, that would force the SATA controller in to RAID mode, making it impossible for ZFS (I use ZFS, too) to get at the SMART data from the disks.

My server runs FreeBSD, and I have restricted the ZFS ARC to 8GB, so I have some RAM left for the other stuff, performance has been okay for me. Then again, a) a home network with about half a dozen client devices is not that big a challenge, and b) due to a combination of laziness and stupidity, my home network still is 100MBit, so I do not have to worry about any bottlenecks on the server. ;-)
I don't aim to impose, only address human existence ~and~ as it seems. Which includes pain.
Right. My take is "hey, good engineering to not need a power brick. But to what end? What's the practical purpose of this engineering? Why not just make the system bigger?"
>I believe that any version control system that does not follow the convention (that probably predates Linus' existence on Earth) that commit should actually commit changes to server, is, by definition, more4 hard to use than it has any reason to be.

This is just 'your use-case is wrong'.
Well, you can parallelize it by adding more sticks of RAM.
Everything is complicated, so there's no simple coherent explanation you could have provided, but it's probably not completely valid to depict the Houthi resistance as an anti-democratic uprising; rather, they may have started as a political response to the Saleh administration, which in turn violently (and anti-democratically) repressed the Houthis themselves, who militarized in response. The Arab Spring factors heavily into this too. It's a total mess.

The one thing that does seem pretty clear in all this is that the Saudis should not be bombing anyone in Yemen.

Japan's shinkansen travels at 2-2.5x the speed of the Acela. At the maximum speed of current bullet train technology, Boston - NY could likely be done in about 1.5 hours, Boston to Washington in about 2-3, and even Boston to Cleveland in around 3-4. That basically covers the entirety of travel in the Northeast corridor.

This doesn't even cover the new maglev trains that are expected to go into service sometime in the late 2020s in Japan, which have a maximum speed of 550km/h, expanding the range of that 4 hour "maximum" significantly.

The major problem with the Acela is that it mainly runs on older infrastructure that wasn't designed with HS trains in mind. This severely limits its speed on most of its route. Most HS systems in other places around the world are on newly developed HS lines that were built up specifically to support the much faster speeds and requirements of these trains, and are completely separate from the regular rail lines (which might be running in parallel nearby).
>One’s past payment performance is a huge predictor for the future.

And I’m sure China could easily argue prior social behavior is a huge predictor of future social behavior.

But the real problem in the US is you have an entire class of people who have no credit history (the poor), not bad credit history, but no credit history.

You aren’t wrong if I’m lending money I’d want to know debt to income ratio, but why does that matter to getting a job? If you have no credit history and can’t get a good job, how do you think that is going to effect your income and access to credit. Look at the studies of impact of credit history, it facilitates keeping poor people poor (limits social mobility).
One problem is that even if they spent as much, infrastructure construction costs in the US are way higher than elsewhere: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/28/nyregion/new-york-subway-...
I never understood the stepping into an empty shaft, because AFAIK the outer doors are opened by the inside doors on the car. So they can't open on their own if the car isn't there. Might be possible on older elevators with manual doors?

> I’ve recently been trying to resurrect my old PC. I haven’t used it at all over the last 3 years and moved twice in the meantime
Look at what happened with 'Obamacare'. Forcing employers to give people benefits if they work more than 32 hours in a week. The only thing that did was make sure no one in service industries gets more than 32 hours, which in turn means no one can work one job and make a living. Now everyone in those sectors needs two jobs and still gets no health insurance.

Or, in other words, we're either heading towards a dystopian future between the haves and have nots or another French revolution. Based on current education standards, I'd guess the former.
Absolutely deep thinking
In these discussions there is always a lot of griping about the US’s poor rail infrastructure when the US actually has the 2nd most used rail networks in the world. It’s just almost entirely used for freight. An equally valid question is why does Europe transport almost all of its freight by truck?

Obviously geography and population density - network effects scale with the square of population in reasonable service area - are huge factors. A multi-day freight trip is quite common while only a tiny fraction of passenger trips are more than a few hours - the reasonable service areas are vastly different.

In Europe you have multiple overlapping country sized rail networks. While this gives the impression of a continental sized network (especially to Eurail pass riding in American tourists) very few people are taking trains journeys more than a few hours even in Europe.

Another big issue is the incompatibility of freight and passenger rail services. It is very difficult to run both services on the same tracks at high service levels. The US focus on fright has hampered long distance and even regional passenger rail services. While in France the government decided to focus on passengers and eliminated all but a few freight routes. It would take an additional complete parallel rail infrastructure to do both well which would be quite expensive. So far the US and Europe haven’t thought this was worth it. China might be going this way.

Perhaps this simply makes sense given the differing situations.
> Would US law apply to EU publications?

Yes. For example Bank in the EU (or at least in France) have to report to the US financial organization if a US citizen open a bank account here.

'...rehydration with sugary drinks. Frequently, not trusting the quality of local drinking water, workers drink sodas and soft drinks, and experimental evidence suggests that doing so can lead to even more kidney damage'.
That is hardly responsible. We have free health care in Australia, and landing someone in hospital but paying for it because of the actions of another party is neither desirable nor sensible.
You are right, up to two decades ago it was normal, and indeed a good practice, to try exposing kids to varicella when they are young.

Now that there is a safe vaccine, the better choice is vaccination because

1. Varicella is almost always mild in children, but in rare cases it can be dangerous (and these rare cases are more frequent and more severe of adverse reactions to the vaccine), and

2. Vaccination reduces the chances of hepes zoster (shingles) in old age, in comparison to having chickenpox.
I've made a few of them; there are some tricks -- especially if you want them to stay authenticated. AddToHome trick will reference the page they are currently on, so I only allow it on the /home or /dashboard like pages -- if they add to home from a deep-link it will always land them there.

And there's like a dozen meta tags for the Apple/Android systems to get right.

It basically creates a hosted-web-view with less "chrome" around there -- no address bar and stuff like that -- so you'll need to solve the 'back-button' problem too.
I just hope I wasn't the inspiration for the "Some Weirdo" one.
> Is "anonymous rando" supposed to be an insult of some sort? Is it relevant to the topic in some way, or just a plain ad hominem?

It's not about the quality of your point. It's about who's worth my time. This is the internet, where I can be in contact with most of the planet. As I explained long ago in my bio here, anonymous people with bad attitudes get less leeway from me. If you want conversation, you have to be worth it.

In addition, when you introduce words like "silly" and "implausible", you are either a) asserting you have a technology that allows you to objectively measure those qualities in discussions, or b) asserting that you have some expertise which makes you a more qualified judge than the person you are talking to. Presuming for a moment that it's the latter case, you're the one who has introduced yourself as the arbiter of all that's right and true. It's within bounds for me to point out that from my perspective you demonstrate no qualities that would make you the expert you are acting like.

You are of course welcome to have any impressions of me you like. Again, the feelings of anonymous randos are not high on my list of concerns. Less so, of course, for the ones who start out a discussion with the assumption I'm a fool.

I think React Native is still a good choice, for now; lots of apps use it, and it can allow you to share JS code between mobile apps and web apps. I'd still personally recommend checking flutter out though, it makes for some buttery smooth apps.

Why you stayed in that unhappy relationship for too long – CNN
Fair enough, though Go would probably be dead if it suffered the same churn as Google's frontend projects.
This article indicts Amazon of the following cruelties:

- Expects workers to work compensated overtime during a busy period

- Tracks worker performance

- Expects people to take only their scheduled breaks, and writes them up if they're MIA for 30+ minutes

- Requires workers to show up and work during their scheduled work hours

The humanity! And this poor guy, working a non-specialized manager position attainable with just a high school degree, was only paid a meager $80,000 a year!

More seriously though: the caterwauling over Amazon's cruel and unusual work conditions is getting a little long in the tooth. I had more sympathy when it's peeing in bottles and passing out from heat exhaustion, but if the above is extent of the complaints now...get over it?
Writing tests (Python albumentations)
That's interesting, makes me want to see the graph of power vs cost for extra error correcting data but with longer refresh cycles on the memory (for that suspend-to-RAM application).
I don’t know modern RAM chip organization, but in the old days the bit cells were layed out in a square and an entire row would refresh in parallel. A 1Mb chip would then refresh 1Kb at a time taking 1K refresh cycles for the entire chip.
But seriously -
The energy density of sunlight is around 1KW/m2 at sea level.
So at 60% efficiency you get 600 watt - almost 1 horsepower (~750watt).

That's enough to power a scooter, and with no batteries!
My kit arrived without a return label. So, this further delayed processing as I needed to contact them, they are slow to respond, and this pushed 2 weeks extra.
That's a caricature. In my experience, Google has lots of lawyers that are quite serious about making sure what they do is at least arguably legal, and company procedures to make sure that employees follow the rules. Not that it always works.
To demonstrate their anonymity statement is rendered useless when you go through the other data in the article.

> How often do people need to get from NYC to Syracuse?

Far more often than you'd think. If such a system existed people would use it all the time.

Look at the metra lines that go from Chicago to the suburbs in the north/northwest. People take those all the time because living in those areas is significantly cheaper.

People would be able to visit families long distance without needing to own a car or cough up for a plane ticket. That land in the US is vast is not really a good excuse.
I've found that the heart of the problem is... money.

With money comes time. If funds are sufficient, most of those whispers are diminished.

Let's say one is sitting on a pile of money:

> A year! Why haven’t you shipped yet?

I would not be bothered by this if I could continue to fund the project.

> This is boring. Just shelve this project and move on to something fun & exciting.

With money could come the possibility of hiring someone to do the boring stuff, or making the project look professional enough that it attracts contributors who think it has a future.

> This niche isn’t big enough. You should change the target to developers? Marketers? Sales?

If the project has enough money, course correction should be much less of a risk.

> No one will actually use this. / Will designers really find this useful? / What if you launch and no one finds it valuable?

Ok, this would be a worry no matter how much money one has. Although I suppose it's less of a risk if a project is small.

I recently set out to work on a side project with virtually no funding. I wouldn't call it a mistake as I've learned a lot about myself and the nature of doing a side project full-time, but money is a biggie no matter how much motivation one can muster. Maybe if I had spent less money on fancy lunches when I worked for a company, for example, I could have bought a lot more time to finish what I was working on. Now I'm at a point where I have to focus almost all my time on finding employment because the electricity doesn't pay itself.

Next time, I've gotta learn how to raise money for what I do instead of believing I can self-fund it. lol
I can't imagine walking into a kitchen then blaming my wife because of a pot of spaghetti overflowed, especially when she was busy dealing with two kids AND had her friends over. Or expect her to make dinner for me, the kids, and her friends all by herself.

I also can't imagine any of the men I know would do that...which the comic describes as a 'common scenario for many parents'.

That sounds like a low quality partner issue, not a gender role issue.
> Shouldn't a disease only spread to unvaccinated people?

Yes, and there are, by necessity and previously discussed, always going to be some unvaccinated people. In some cases this is because the vaccine cannot be administered until a certain age. In some cases, it is because the vaccine fails. A small amount of "free riders" can work. It is when parents put too many free riders into a population that it crosses a tipping point.

This smacks of fake news
“His father, Gregory, worked directly under legendary GE executive Jack Welch, and the Liemandts vacationed with the Welches. After his father left GE to be CEO of a mainframe software company in Dallas in 1983, Liemandt began programming but also took a strong interest in entrepreneurship, frequently reading the business plans his father brought home. As a Stanford economics major, he was determined to create the kind of business that either Jack Welch or his father would want to buy.

His obsession with sales efficiency spawned Trilogy, and in 1990, at age 21, he defied his parents’ wishes and dropped out of Stanford to build his software company.

Six years later his sales were some $120 million and he was on the cover of Forbes.“

That’s a pretty remarkable insight that’s tough to illustrate without including someone as venerable as Jack Welch. It’s the knowledge of what’s possible and how things are already being done that lends an amazing edge to talented/smart people born to the right circumstances. The cognitive leap that you have to make without this knowledge frequently leads people to over-estimate complexity and excellence you’d have to compete against. This first hand knowledge of exactly how top business plan, value and view opportunities is amazingly valuable.

The question is, how do you move this from being a family/birth advantage to being part of education?

This is relevant to the hack you can do when trying to retrieve secrets from ram from a live computer: pull the dimms out, blow some cold air on them and then stick them in another computer that's ready to dump the contents.

He is the only one of those three to have successfully backed, funded, be the economic adviser for and receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom from, a two term US President.

Also, he gives out vast amount of money, far more than Soros, mainly because he has far more money, to things ranging across a variety of progressive causes such as universal public health, refugee rights and support, sexual rights, family planning, and campaigning for global nuclear disarmament. He is every bit the activist politically involved liberal billionaire.

How can you know if they are secret? And it’s pretty cavalier to say “impact a small slice” — it’s a bit deal if you’re part of that small slice, fair or not.
Yeah, first lucky ones will receive it. Also, this could be a non-standard Ponzi. For example, they start the company with zero money, they wait for more people to order so that they can buy new equipment, i.e. it's not an honest delay, but engineered delay to use interest-free funding.

Maybe one of the reasons it's hard to parallelize is that the refresh operation requires electricity, and there's obviously a limit on how much of that it can use.

It's easy to have bad credit while being rich, and good credit while being poor. The question is how much reasonable debt do you take on and service according to the contract? And that has nothing to do with how rich or poor you are.
