There's a bright side there, too: you get a fresh perspective and can see how much utter bullshit is taken for granted because "thats the way things are done". Plus the confidence of having mastered things as complex, to arm you for the challenge of wading through the modern rats nests.
Carbon neutral has to cover the entire supply chain, for which pellets are going to have a lot of sooty diesel engines in the mix.
I would be surprised if the pellets weren't sourced from Canada, where it's probably white pine, not tropical hardwoods.
We refer to the dead weight as riders. they're just riding along for the journey but they don't actually provide any actual value to the company. At a startup, those are the first people to go during layoffs or during other downturns. At a larger company they can stick around a lot longer.

It would be amazing if there was a tool like Krisp that could automatically noise cancel outside noise in your headphones for people who work with audio in loud environments. Not clear if that's at all possible without your headphones having microphones built into them to accurately detect incoming outside signal.
At least here where I live (Germany) deposit content is not an asset of the bank (“Sondervermögen”). It cannot be used for liquidation if things go south for the bank. I assume this is true for most parts of the globe.
One thing sudo does is prevent a local app takeover from completely owning your system. In particular, it can prevent a ransomware type attack from being able to touch your backups and makes it more difficult for the attackers to leave a persistent trojan in your system, especially the kind that can survive a reformat/reinstall or one that sniffs your network traffic.

Well, I always think about the Rodney King case: you and I saw a very damning video, played over and over again, on the news that looked incriminating as hell. But when the case went to trial, the jury voted not guilty. What did they see that we didn't? Did they make the right choice, after having seen a lot more evidence than we did? Or are jury trials just inherently untrustworthy?

The UK already has around 12,000 sq miles of forest, which is about 13% of the area.

Half of the UK's land is owned by 1% of the population - a mix of aristocrats, wealthy individuals, and corporations.

There is no practical issue with mass reforestation contributing to energy self-sufficiency, but there would be huge political issues.

I know it was "fixed" after thousands of people chimed in.

Nonetheless, I still wouldn't be able to trust developers who think that's reasonable.

if it had been an error and unintentional i wouldn't have been worried. mistakes happen to everyone. but it was an actual design decision. Without serious code review i'd be too worried the developers had any other bright ideas.
I had a TiVo HD with an M-Card on Armstrong Cable from 2008 through when I got rid of cable altogether. I don't recall ever having any issues with it, so if I did they weren't all that memorable. Certainly nothing like the piece of shit Motorola box they gave me to start.

The parts that sucked about CableCard mostly sucked because a lot of cable companies wanted them to suck, but the suckage was not mandatory.

Well, I guess it's a good thing then Axios isn't suspect of being a neutral observer in the first place. I wonder how cool the company would be actually with an employee speaking out in favor of President Trump, against wanton violence towards cops or even against discriminatory hiring practices with regard to White and Asian men.
Or a carbon sink.

Most of these trees are coming from temperate forests, and while tropical forests don't put much carbon in the soil, temperate forests do. Or rather, mature trees in temperate forests do.

As long as you can keep the temperate zones from moving too far toward the poles (and plant tundra aggressively as it thaws) that's another opportunity cost of cutting them down before they hit their stride.
The Thing Nobody Says About Lifting Weights
If a malicious sudoer has access to basically any system utility that takes a filename, and the filenames are not explicitly enumerated in sudoers, you're owned. The only way your claim here really holds is if you're limited to very specific pre-defined scripts with limited degrees of freedom in their arguments.

That is a fine thing to do. But when your operational processes are that structured, you're more likely to be doing code-reviewed changes to a configuration management repo, poking the API of a cluster scheduler, running playbooks in Ansible Tower or Jenkins, or something else that doesn't involve personal shell access.

This is not the time to be snarky, I think we should congratulate the Google Meet team on placing this great article, not to mention the obnoxious integrations into other beloved Google products.

Yeah, I'm thinking about trialing FreeBSD for both that and having better man pages (Linux's are so incredibly bad). OpenBSD seems even nicer but I also like having, you know, software and drivers that Just Work™, which already seems like it might be a problem on FreeBSD. I haven't enjoyed using desktop Linux since like 2008 (it is not a coincidence that this is about when Poettering started to influence major distros with his NIH-motivated bloatware) and have puttered along on macOS for the last decade or so—a change is probably due, I'm just not sure there exists what I want, really. We'll see. I'm rocking Void now and it's... fine, I guess. Kinda.

One niche case where you need assembly is if you write a green threads library. At the yield points, you need to save all necessary registers of the current thread, and restore the registers of the thread you're switching to. There's no way you can do this without assembly, because you a) you need to control exactly which machine instructions are emitted in which order, and b) you need to read and write actual registers, not variables or memory locations.

> Likewise you fail to actually link to any stats to support claims about increased suicide rates

Currently there are about 40,000 deaths by suicide in the US each year. We know that deaths by suicide will increase because of economic downturn. We have some understanding of this after 2007 and similar. No-one working in suicide prevention thinks we'll come anywhere near doubling the 40,000 number.

The 'lost' seeds helping to feed a nation
Most of the issues I have with ambient noise on call could be solved with people investing in a better headset. It's a significant improvement over using your laptop's built in one.

The issue I find a bigger problem is lag causing people to talk over one another. I've been on a lot of calls where the call quality was fine but conversations were difficult because it was hard to judge when the other person had stopped talking.

>Not clear if that's at all possible without your headphones having microphones built into them to accurately detect incoming outside signal.

I'm guessing they mean to add the feature set to standard headphones. Leveraging say the laptop microphone to provide active noise canceling to someone with a standard set of earbuds.
> So you clearly agree that some things can be learned by most people who put their mind to it.

Absolutely! I think people can learn almost anything. Barring true disabilities, I believe anyone can learn to program, translate a foreign language, play a violin, play basketball, swim or most other things.

But I don't think most people have even a chance of becoming the best.

What you refer to as "endowed traits" affect everything from our life span to our appearance to our level of happiness, personality traits and ability to learn different skills. They affect every possible kind of skill we could choose to pursue and even what kinds of things we're inclined to pursue.

I also don't agree than the skills needed to succeed as an athlete or musician are "less learnable" than others. On the contrary, I think they're extremely well defined and that we have millennia of collective knowledge in how to train them, thus making them extremely learnable.

The perspective I was coming from is the difference between an economic tournament, where wage differences are based more upon the relative differences of individuals rather than upon their marginal productivity.

This is crucial because while almost anyone can learn to play the piano or to repair a house, very, very few people have even the possibility of being one of the top few people in the world at either. The difference is that people doing the latter are paid based on their marginal productivity and those doing the former are paid based on their approximate ranking among all other pianists in the world and in their city.

As a result, repairing houses is a modest career opportunity open to a large number of people with sufficient absolute skill regardless of their relative ranking in the world. Being a pianist, on the other hand, is a fantastic career for an extremely small number of people at the top and an unsustainable one for nearly everyone else. Some teach on the side and pursue their dreams for years.

The question is, "Is YouTube an economic game where rewards are based primarily on marginal productivity or are they based more on relative comparisons between participants?"
First, the original question was about false negatives, and therefore about the sensitivity (positive rate on true positives), not the specificity (negative rate on true negatives). So perhaps you wrote specificity by mistake? By definition, the sensitivity can be calculated only from true positive cases, so the relevant N is just the positives. There were 103 positive samples from 48 patients, and the independent paper did their math using N = 48.

Abbott's marketing referred to a study of 125 patients confirmed positive by PCR, linked below. So it's more, but not dramatically so. The affiliated study doesn't report a confidence interval, but the binomial 95% confidence interval is [97.1%, 100%]. That barely overlaps with the independent study's [82.8%, 98.7%]. So perhaps the affiliated researchers just got lucky and the independent ones got unlucky, or perhaps too many of the independent paper's >=14 day samples were <17 days and they should have waited longer; though depending how cynical your priors are you might also conclude the groups were different (not to allege any misconduct, just to say there's a lot of reasonable judgment in what patients you select that could push the result around by this small amount).

Regardless, the sensitivity of the test is definitely not an unqualified 100%. Even disregarding the independent study completely, that would still be a somewhat misleading claim, given the small sample size in the affiliated study and that patients with mild illness probably develop lower titers than the average patient who sought medical care over the last few months.

Excellent! Thank you for a great response.
sudo is great for phishing. If I want to take over a system, I just need the users password. Given that sudo is almost never set up correctly and is unrestricted to anyone allowed to use it, I just send a script that requires sudo, capture the password, then relay the password in a DNS request back to myself. All in good red teaming fun, of course.
The issue with that is two-fold:

1. Not nearly enough trees are being planted to offset the ones being cut down.

2. Neutral on a scale of 30 years doesn't much matter when we have to reduce the degree to which we're accelerating a highly non-linear climate change process right now.
I am so used to using the phrase risk adverse because is the more common phrase in my military side job. In the real world the common phrase is risk averse.

The first means a personality type that doesn’t perform risk analysis normally or does but simply disregards high risk concerns. For example it doesn’t make sense to jump out of an airplane or leap into combat. There is a preference for people who can weigh those risks and override the common sense factor that results in terror. In the business world this could mean investing your life savings into a start up idea knowing you might likely fail with nothing to show for it.

The second more common phrase refers to opposite personality types that cannot proceed in the face of uncertainty. These people are terrified to make a decision where the outcomes are unclear and thus hesitate waiting for increased certainty or for someone else to make that decision.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risk_aversion_(psychology)

My personal approach to these terms is to simply make a damn decision even with insufficient evidence, because then you are at least doing something. If you later discover your decision is wrong then simply shift direction in the face of new evidence. People who sit there waiting for clarity, feels like an eternity in hell, makes me sad.
I don't have a source that's likely to satisfy you - for two reasons.

1. Nobody has actually done a through, scientific carbon audit of the supply chain for these plants. You have napkin arguments in film, or on the internet, that you can trivially search for, that conclude this one way, or another, depending on their politics.

2. The carbon cost of running them is incredibly dependent on local conditions of the precise bits of wood that were sourced.

I can expand on the latter.

The hardest part about logging is getting your equipment to the logging site, building the roads to it, and then using those roads to get the logs out. I guess those are the three hardest parts about logging.

If you can cut down your logs, truck them only a few miles, toss them in a river, and then pick them up a hundred miles downstream, to load onto a barge, your carbon footprint is minimal.

If, on the other hand, you have to truck them 15 miles down logging roads, and then 90 miles down a freeway, your footprint greatly expands. (And has to include factors like building the logging roads to begin with.)

Unlike with mining, building logging roads is much harder than building roads to a mine - because you have to cover a lot more ground, to get an industrially useful amount of wood - compared to something like a pit mine. You have to use heavy equipment to drag logs over incredibly difficult, unroaded terrain, so that they can be loaded onto trucks that will go down the roads.

I haven't been able to confirm this, but I swear it happens to my mom on Zoom. When I video chat my family on Zoom and she isn't sitting directly in front of the laptop, her words rarely come through. I can see her lips moving, I can hear my dad grunting in agreement next to her--but she's silent. If they switch places, I can hear my dad without issue.

I don't know if it's a combination of her cheap hardware or what, but it's... odd.

A gentle way to get into the "functional" mindset is to write small a script and then use it to process some collection with xargs.

xargs is analogous to map() in this situation, and the script needs to have limited side effects to work well with concurrency. xargs -P4 for example.

> Amazon's brand (as a store / marketplace) is that it helps you sort through many options to select the product they believe you will like the best. This is different from the service offered by traditional grocery stores which offer many different products, but are not arranging those products in relation to a particular request.

Is that really true? Maybe once upon a time, but Amazon is the last place I turn to when trying to find a product that's suitable for purpose. As their marketplace has become a wasteland of cheap knock-offs and fake reviews, I find the only way to successfully use the site is to first find a product on an external review site (i.e. NYT's "Wirecutter") or search specifically only for brands I already know and limit the results to those sold directly from Amazon.
Wood pellets are at least a useful transitional resource. I'm not sure how pellets compare as a coal replacement, but for residential heating a pellet stove is a big improvement over a split log fireplace or stove, in efficiency and air quality.
