The question is why has the CDC been pushing outdated guidelines?
Why are they pushing guidelines that ignore a boatload of research?
The answer is: Conflict of interest and dogma. See my third link in my earlier reply.

Regarding the new guidelines, there are significant admissions:

-The limitations of antibody testing (page 10, line 234), and that a patient can be seronegative

-Lyme arthritis only occurs in a minority of 30% (49:1147)

-Patients should be retreated if 28 days of doxy does not resolve arthritis (55:1280), ultimately with up to 1 month of Rocephin/ceftriaxone

-Animal studies may demonstrate persistence in avascular areas (56:1311)

-They infer that evidence of a persistent infection or treatment failure can be concluded through objective signs of arthritis, meningitis, or neuropathy (62:1429)

-Studies of the chronic Lyme population are recommended, and they claim (without citation) that these patients often have no clinical or lab evidence of infection (64:1493)

-Babesia coinfects 2-40% of patients in endemic areas (67:1551)

When viable spirochetes were found after antibiotic treatment, one of the leading IDSA researchers response was "So what? You'd have to prove they are causing disease". Apparently germ theory is now in question when it comes to Lyme disease, and only Lyme disease. For every other infection, if the pathogen is found, you have the disease. Not with Lyme though. It's pure dogma at this point.

I'm younger, but that type of cruise is the only that really appeals to me.

Thats not what rent seeking means.
There is a good podcast with a similar bit of greed called Dr. Death. Highly recommend if this article interests you.

One common thread is how bad misconduct can be deemed “personal” and hidden from public view with internal hospital panels. In this story it happened at the same hospital - But a Doctor can do a horrible job, even as far as resulting fatalities, be asked to resign, and go join another hospital with no repercussion.

We are quick to blame government healthcare or insurance companies for healthcare issues while leaving this important loophole wide open. When confronted by reporters or investigators, the members of these internal medical boards either remain silent or hide behind the “I’ve been an admin at a prominent hospital with years of medical experience, I know better than you.”

Every rich country has done exactly this, so this doomed scenario doesn’t strike me as true.
It already has. This article came out last August.
It's largely used for large/fullscreen hero images on a page header with text overlaid. The easiest way to ensure required portions of the image are visible and the image always fills the container, and the text placement is exact, was background image. It's a problem we can now solve in multiple ways, with object fit and also with CSS Grid. But there's some inertia on the old background image technique; it's long established and will take time to turn around.
I tend to disagree with the EC2 sentiment. Any cost savings using VMs over a higher abstraction will likely be wiped out by the time wasted becoming a sysadmin unless you just like doing sysadmin stuff (patching, access management, config)

The article claims that the flaw is in the fax protocol itself. But it also claims that it's a buffer overflow leading to RCE, which would be an implementation flaw, not a protocol flaw.

The online ad industry is super shady and is getting much worse since google and facebook have started eating their lunch. But it would be very hard to pull data collection out of this business model. If company a puts the lawnmower ad up and only reports clicks and company b reports the percentage of men aged 35-40 company b will eventually put company a out of business. Content providers have to run what ads will actually make them money so they’re going to go with networks where companies actually buy ads. The only way this cycle is going to get stopped is with serious pushback either from consumers, technology or laws.

Consider a freelancer, relatively new to their chosen profession with a sawtooth cashflow. A one time purchase means they can continue to do their job for as long as the app they bought works on the OS they work on. A subscription service means a bad couple of months and an unexpected bill locks them out of opening any of their old work and limits their ability to do / get new work. Your argument boils down to "well I can afford it, so everyone should be able to"

keep in mind brazil is in a state which even senators are fleeing and asking for asylum in europe.

a government official, elected or otherwise, will most likely side with the isolationist rhetoric, if only for votes next election.

The new questionably-elected president keep the appearance of defending a brave isolation that only he is capable of (Even though the coup in brazil was caused exactly because the previous government, corrupt or otherwise, was denying american companies access to new oil reserves already), when in reality he is eating in trump's hand. He just appointed his son, who until before the election was working as a fast food chef in florida, as the brazil ambassador in the usa.

So, yes, a country should be independent and look out for the people. But in this case it is only propaganda/fake news/disinformation. whatever political campaigns are called today.
Have you seen the Tesla autonomous car day and Elon on his robotaxi proposition?

If Tesla delivers a fully self driving car within 5 years. As a Tesla owner you could earn $30.000 a year extra on side when you put your car during lost parking hours in the Tesla fleet.

I really like Elons analogy comparing normal cars with a horse in this situation.

Even if this only has a probability of 20% to succeed this is a game changing opportunity for all car owners for effectively free.

Do you consider this in your evaluation of a next AMG?

I agree. This is a terrible font face. I see the artistic value of it, but using it as any kind of guidance is a failure. Especially in stations like Shimokitazawa where the platforms are extremely narrow in some cases.

My favorite part about using ECS was never being able to deploy because our nodes had jacked up ecs agents on them. So the application was still running but you couldn’t touch it. We switched to GKE last year and haven’t had a single problem with infra since. YMMV but for simpler docker/k8s apps GKE has been so easy in my experience.
> With docker I can just get up and running on my local box and every dev I share this with has the exact same environment and config.

Well, that's the dream. The reality is like that sometimes, but also sometimes like "I ran `docker-compose up -d` like you said, and the local-dynamodb container seems fine, but the app container output 'Cannot find /volumeforsomething' and died...?" and then there's a slack thread for a couple hours about which version of Docker and is it native or Docker for Mac, and whether to try upgrading Docker for Mac first or just `docker volume rm -f volumeforsomething` or even `docker volume prune -f`...
It’s not lawyering. It’s a fundamental principle of what it means to be a sovereign country. A country is a chunk of land defined by its borders. There is a fundamental difference between people inside and people outside those borders. That difference doesn’t arise from the qualities of the people, but the mere fact of their geographic location.
Between touch screen and the Apple Pencil I would say the mouse is the least important input device, unless you really want to play a first person shooter. If you are a keyboard centric developer then ideally everything is accessible by a keyboard shortcut.

Several years back I used my iPad remoting in to my desktop exclusively for about half of the year. There are terrible ways, mediocre ways, and good ways to simulate mouse input with a touch screen. The critical difference between touch and mouse is that a mouse can precisely hit much smaller UI parts (which, a lot of people are going to have trouble seeing anyways.) The Apple Pencil effectively does this — though not with the keyboard mouse pairing most are used to.

I’ve been using Clip Studio Paint on my iPad Pro for quite a while. Their iOS app is a 1:1 UI port from their desktop app. The app is basically Photoshop for illustrators and painters. It works way better than I would have predicted. Without the Apple Pencil, I don’t think the UI would be usable, but the Apple Pencil is the primary input device for the artist.

I’m expecting the iPad to behave very much like a desktop/laptop soon. My bigger concern is all of the software charging by subscription, which is a lot easier to implement with iOS than MacOS/Windows/Linux (kind of ironic that the unsustainable 99 cent price points makes subscription the only viable revenue model.)
There is a protected class of person who holds a cultural ideal and keeps these kinds of things going. My former CTO would not take financial advice from anyone with a beard. Another, not from someone who wore rubber soled shoes (wood all the way). These were ways of life from multi-millionaires.
>I think 90% of the work is the design effort for each sign, a vinyl plotter won't make that faster.

There wouldn't be any need for "design" if management was involved to expedite the process. Just put the ready made letters together with a couple of ready made vectors like arrows etc in a PC program, and send the file to the plotter.

>Also, a vinyl plotter and computer take up space and need a secure room.

You could order the sign from a print shop with a vinyl plotter and have it delivered in 1-2 hours.
“A soldier does not become a shrewd general merely by endorsing the strategic principles of Clausewitz; he must also be competent to apply them.”

“Knowing how to apply maxims cannot be reduced to, or derived from, the acceptance of those or any other maxims.”

— Ryle, Gilbert. The Concept of Mind (1949)

I started reading this a couple of weeks ago after seeing it referenced in Peter Naur’s “Programming as Theory Building”, and this point of his in particular keeps coming up in all sorts of contexts: there’s a fundamental difference between knowing how something is done and knowing how to do it. The former is what you get from any sort of how-to or advice article, but the latter comes from experience. It’s unclear if there’s any internal transfer at all between these two kinds of knowledge.

Oh, it's your mention of internal energy source that confused me, as biomass depends on external energy, just as any industrial process. And we know that an industrial process can be potentially at least just as efficient as biomass, by the virtue of same physics/chemistry.

The meetings won't go away, you'll just have to join them over Skype/Hangouts - with shitty audio where you're guessing what people in the room are saying half of the time.

However, I think that, for people who really despise meetings and all the coordination with other people, startups are a place to be. There's just way less stakeholders there to allign for any given initiative, plus the founders are super-conscious about wasting time and money, so they minimize devs involvment in meetings that could be handled solely by management/product people.
That is the whole point, the ship is an environment where kids will never be alone. Bad things can happen everywhere and you can't protect your children all the time.

The biggest andvantage for lead batteries is probably that you don't need cell balancing which would have been really hard at that time. You just overcharge all cells and call it a day. Really nice batteries from a robustness perspective.
Yes, there is that, although I'd put that in a different class of cravings, almost engineered cravings created/exploited by the food industry, where foods are engineered for taste and repeated consumption, e.g., drinks that make you more thirsty, or overladen salt & sweet flavors that we're just generally programmed to seek because they are rare in nature, but engineer-able.

I noticed one study a long time ago just about flavor. Basically, rats, being fed standard rat chow, with nutrients and calories kept constant, both groups had full access to the food. Group A had one flavor, Group B had six flavors. Group B gained a lot more weight. So, merely restricting flavor choice will reduce your inclination to eat, and conversely, food engineers creating foods with lots of flavors will increase food and eating...

At least in California, the bank opened it for me (as personal representative) so that a bank employee and I could inventory the contents.

My aunt was a hoarder. At that point, I was actually relieved that the box was empty and I wouldn't have to go through the process of claiming the contents.

My aunt was also somebody who bought gold and silver, something that was promoted heavily to people in conservative Orange County California when Obama became president and end times were near. Chase made it very clear that I was basically storing things at my own risk. I could deposit US coins from the 1880s at face value of $20 and get FDIC insurance. Instead, since they were about $1200 each at the time, I put them in the safe deposit box.

Before that, in Oregon, my dad died but I was on the list of people allowed to use the box so I had access. That might be an option if there's somebody you really trust.

The banks do charge about $100 to drill the lock if you lose the keys. It's possible that you could have somebody authorized to use the box but not give them a key.
I'm afraid I can't answer for 'many people'. But complaining that nebulous groups of people don't condemn things you don't like vociferously enough is rarely a productive direction to take a conversation. It's better to deal with people individually where possible, and easier to find out what people think about concrete examples.

But also, yes, I think it's not unreasonable to expect that people might show more outrage for murders than for property damage, even if they disagree with both.
X files, episode 7, season 11
If we are to add a law here, I think it may make sense to require contracts to be easy to understand and as short as is reasonable. I think it's pretty reasonable for someone to skim over fine print especially for something that seems obvious.

Something like a safe deposit box should be a single page document with something like this:

- cost is $X/month and prices are revaluated every Y months and can increase by a maximum of $Z/month
- may access the box X times/month without any additional fees
- bank's liability is max $X or Y months of rent, whichever is higher/lower
- if rent is not paid, X happens, and after Y months of non-payment, Z happens
- policy/fee for lost keys

I haven't actually opened one, but I wouldn't be surprised if the contract was 10 pages long and the maximum liability was somewhere in the middle in fairly small print.
I would hope that with time, companies run by CTOs like that would be competed away as new anti suit companies enter the ring, and as new fintech startups begin changing the culture of finance. Some of my friends in banking already speak of the magic of relaxed dress codes...
Completely agree with you on the massive ocean ships, but look into river cruises.

I had a few days on the Nile on a small ship and it was the highlight of the trip. I definitely got the appeal of sitting on the top deck, reading, seeing the country go by, going through locks, waving to other ships, etc. Completely different experience to the bus we took upriver.

Ever since I've wanted to do a nicer version of that in Europe. These are advertised in luxury/design-type magazines and can be quite upscale. Or something like a bike trip where your canal boat hotel room follows you along the route.
>A decade from now, you either sound like a has-been, or a person who can't let go of their youth.

To a 1910 industrialist acid batteries were exotic chemistry. Don't forget IC cars were hand-cranked during this time, and magnetos for spark plugs only came into commercial availablity 4 years before this article is based. It took another decade for starter motors and auxiliary electronics to make their way into IC automobiles.

Basic commericially avaliable electronics were cutting-edge back then.
