>This is veering too much into the 'being bullied will make you stronger' territory.

Well, being bullied will indeed make you stronger. That's how most people learn to adapt to social dynamics, fight back, stand for themselves and so on.

In actual life suffering often tells us what to avoid, leads us to know ourselves better, teach us lessons (like e.g. suffering caused by bad decisions), and even punishes us when we deserve it (e.g. suffering caused by doing something illegal and going to prison etc) so on. Is there's suffering with no greater message? Yes there is (e.g. a car hitting us while we cross the road just fine, or a sudden disease we did nothing to get). But that's part of life too.

Sorry, life is not a road paved with roses for ultimate hapiness 100% 24/7. In that magical land suffering would serve no purpose.

So this looks like the walmart MOTILE laptop[0][1], but rebranded?

Is this basically a System76[2]-like effort?

[EDIT] - I own an System76 Oryx Pro and love it -- this laptop being a rebranded effort is not a bad thing in my mind, if anything it gives me more faith in the initial build quality. If the KDE org gets it just as right as System76 (open source drivers galore, fantastic system tooling and support), then this is going to be a boon for open source everywhere, more money in KDE's pockets, more linux-first machines out there.

For me personally there is something about letting words conjure an image in my head instead of relying on pictures. A good joke is funnier without a laughing emoji. And what's the point of emoji's in "but this journey is a marathon ️, not a sprint ️" sentence for example. For one, marathons are still run just slower.
No, not really.

There's no practical way to protect our genomes in meatspace. We're constantly shedding DNA into the environment. Hair, skin, saliva, etc. For example, an adversary can just tail us to a coffee shop or restaurant, and take a utensil or straw or napkin that we've used. And then submit the sample using a fake name, as investigators often do.

Edit: Those are excellent comments about scale. But generally, if you don't want to publicize your genomic data, just don't send in a sample.

I feel like taking offense at this is not worth it. If they sincerely believe they are saving souls, and you don't, then it shouldn't mean anything to you.

Baptizing the dead seems silly and quaint, but Christians used to ask, how is it fair to send the unbaptized to hell that never had a chance to be saved? Mormons should get some credit for acknowledging the unfairness and coming up with a "solution".

I think it's a sad commentary on human nature that the Christian sects that don't believe anyone goes to hell at all are even more fringe and taken less seriously than Mormons.
If the solution to your problem is to trust whomever has the most hashing power, AND you don't care about speed, blockchain is perfect. I agree.

I'm assuming Big Sur on ARM will be virtualizing ARM, not emulating Intel, meaning a VM will need to run an ARM Linux distro.

In the short term I expect that to be problematic. First party packages in the distro's package manager will be fine, but I expect it might be hard to find some third-party software compiled for ARM Linux. And any Docker containers in the Linux VM will need to use multi-arch or ARM Docker images.

What you're saying points out that there are larger problems of government policy and capitalistic abuse that this software cannot solve.

However, simply not going on the Internet does not solve the problem people care about. People's desired solution is to use the Internet in a personal way and be safe - not just to be safe.

> It fails to explain why countries like Vietnam, the Philippines and Indonesia have so few deaths.

It's obvious if you check the population pyramids (Google "population pyramid $COUNTRY_NAME"). Most of the deaths are in the older population, and the average population age of Vietnam, the Philippines and Indonesia is much younger than e.g. Canada.
Keep in mind that developers hear a user needs to be notified in “the most expedient time possible” and think minutes or hours but the lawyers read that and are thinking days or potentially even weeks in some circumstances. Just because Instacart hasn’t notified anyone yet doesn’t mean they won’t or that they’ve failed to comply with the obligation.
I highly doubt that in this day of cancel culture "companies ignore the mob".

The context of the above is relevant, they too were products approved, that were then backtracked because a small few expressed concerns about how they saw the products.

It may not be in the article, but given it is two instances of this happening in a short period, it's very much relevant.

Very tough, but just so you don't overthink this too much, we all end up catching this Virus, in the United States, about half of all five-year-old children and about 90% of adults have evidence of previous infection, still there's only 200,000 cancer cases per year are thought to be attributable to EBV
Two of your three comparisons are incomplete:

> Indonesia has as many deaths as Sweden, with ~26 times the population.

Indonesia's deaths are still rising (about to pass 100/day), while Sweden's have tapered off (has been below 20/day for a month and is still dropping).

> Bangladesh has 2,751 deaths, 30% of what Germany has, despite Bangladesh having nearly twice as many people.

Similar here: Bangladesh's deaths are stable (not really increasing or decreasing) at around 40/day, while Germany has tapered off to like 5/day for a month (and recently had days with 0 deaths).

Philippines vs Brazil seems to have a pattern that supports what you're working from, though - deaths in the Philippines haven't really spiked (aside from two recent days, not yet enough to know if it's an outlier or not).

>The suicidal person is in no way accountable for others feelings. Zero questions to be had about that.

Actually there are. Zero questions to be had about that.

People have connections, have relationships, have responsibilities (e.g. little kids), have spouses and loved ones, and so on. We're not carefree individual snowflakes only concerned with and accountable to ourselves.

>It's akin to as if a debt collector could come after you for your deceased parents debts.

In the case of suicide, you are the "deceased" and the debts are yours. So a better example would be suicide forcing your debts on others (the lender in this case).

That said, strong feelings about suicide and how unsurmountable some pain is point to some deep depression rather than clear thinking. I used to have some thoughts like that back at some point. Maybe talk to someone about it? Doesn't have to be a specialist, but friends etc would help.
One thing I will say after seeing GPT-3 running live is that somehow the examples that you see trotted about in various articles never really seem to capture the spirit of the thing.

I am not an expect, but it seems like DNA is responsible for around 50% of the personality variance between individuals. Note that the variance within groups is an order of magnitude bigger than the variance across groups, so there aren't super strong ties to race.

I would imagine personality and/or propensity to mental illness or addiction are decent predictors of likelihood to commit crime.

Tesla will probably own a good percentage of the $92B roofing market in a few years.

They’re likely to own a big chunk of the market for electricity generation and storage equipment.

Also, people hate dealerships and CO2 so much that I think the general assumption is that Tesla will be one of a very small number of car manufacturers left standing in a decade or so.

Finally, I think people assume Tesla will be like Amazon, and keep doubling down on their bets until they’ve run out of industries to take over.
I think that you are wrong in general, but that parallel is right on point.

The root of the problem, which is rarely mentioned in these discussions, is that many people enjoying comfortable living conditions believe themselves to be “pure-blooded” and unable to deal with “unclean” things because of the possible “traumas”. (What is an ideal person free of “traumas”, anyway? A vegetable stoned on drugs?) You can easily see here the resemblance of a old time countess complaining about her “nerves” while her serfs do all the dirty work. Is there a natural law that says a poor grunt is bound to clean the junk from what you see on the website? Do it yourself.

The same happens with medical, law enforcement, and other professions. They are considered “special” jobs for “special” people (which is not true, the one who defines it like that is “special”). Then, any worries and doubts are neutralized by convenient “but it's their profession, they chose it, they are paid for it, etc.” This creates a stupid rift between “us” and “them”, and affects how both sides reason about themselves.

The resulting imbalance is routinely abused. Social networks are competing in presenting a rose-colored walled fantasy to their human cattle to increase yield — everyone can see they use “The Matrix” as a business plan. This creates a lot of shitty jobs where people waste their emotional capacity to make others pleased, not unlike in prostitution. On the other hand, media is hooking the softened consumer with the sensationalist outrage bait about maniacs, wars, corruption, presumed orgies, etc. To makes things worse, the limits to all of that are set not by some moral standards or concern about someone's well-being, as it is often implied, but by advertisement contracts. The bureaucratic machine decides what is “suitable” for the visitors. For example, this makes most of the talk around “Free The Nipple” moot: there is no undercover agents of patriarchy to battle, it's advertisers who bring money and judge what is unwanted “sexual content” (some might say it's a perfect example of capitalist oppression — cue “L'Internationale”).

Even this discussion is full of overreacting people. No, the video on your screen is not as “horrible, horrible” as experiencing something firsthand, nor the pain of the tortured can be compared to the pain of the random witnesses on the internet (if we don't count their own wild fantasies). If it happens, then it's no good to pretend it's not. Who knows, it may even make you think. All in all, humans don't show a lot of originality in what they produce, so the number of things you can expect to see is quite limited. I can only conclude by reiterating that knowledge is power, ignorance is bliss, and there's a lot of people who'd like to benefit from others' ignorance in many ways.
Definitely too far if handled by government, but if the possibility exists as individual choices, some people would definitely go for it. Chickenpox parties are a thing, after all.
The anti trust case can’t come soon enough. Apple is definitely taking advantage of its position, the fact that they also ‘help’ developers remove many reviews where users complain of price proves that costs are pushed to end users which is not good.they get them deleted so there is no evidence for anyone to say it’s a problem. Well played.
Lenovo Flex 5G Review: Solid ARM Laptop, but 5G and Windows Isn’t Ready
I don't think it'll be all that bad: one advantage of Raspberry Pis having been out for several years is that there's already been some demand for ARM and ARM64 builds of software.

Closed source, commercial software might be a bit more of a crapshoot, of course, but this should provide a fair bit of impetus.
I'm not sure how much a better strategy could help, since most American restaurants teeter on the edge of failure even in a good year. Even if we tossed around enough aid to keep restaurant books balanced until the far off point when they can open at full capacity, how many restaurants would survive the reopening? (It's not an exact comparison, but something like 60% of restaurants fail within a year after starting.)

And how many restaurant owners are willing to put their life on pause indefinitely?
Adding a new subsystem (30%) and bringing 90% of old in to react. Just plain convert did not justify the investment as our existing system is already written for perf. The only issue is the UI feels dated. It is Tomcat based.

I've been voting 3rd party in the Senate since I first got to vote (originally the Democrats and lately Greens) but probably got that notion from my parents who would have instilled Don Chipp's "Keep the bastards honest" in me. I was hoping Turnbull might have taken up Fraser's manifesto for a new party but that seems to have gone nowhere now.

Interesting to read about the Unity2020 movement who are trying to chart a similar path of taking the centre but are likely doomed to fail unless someone pumps a few billion into their advertising. The lack of preferential voting also doesn't help their cause.

I personally find the calculation of the redistribution and weightings in the Senate to be fascinating - but the math probably goes over the head of a lot of people.
It would be interesting to know how many restaurant closures there were around the same time last year.
The one thing that stands out for me is the postal treaty that was negotiated so that China is able to deliver products to the US for less than it costs a local company to deliver to an adjacent state.

I've been listening to TTC for decades. Prior to MIT and others opening up courses online it was the only way someone like myself could get access to anything like that.

In the office, Michael Scott is asked to give a lecture and brings a boombox with the same music the TTC lectures start off with. Its a hilarious in joke if you get the reference.
Sure, if you make up numbers, you can argue that the sun is going to crash into the earth tomorrow and we're all going to die, so nothing in this conversation matters.

In reality however, there are some cases where protobufs, flatbuffers, or BSON are superior to JSON, but there are a lot of cases where they aren't. You'll have to weigh the pros and cons for each situation. And a lot of the time, there's not time to benchmark everything, so you kind of have to guess how the elements of the system are going to interact.

The one element that every system has is humans, so it's a fairly safe bet that humans will have to read whatever format you use.

I spend probably 15-45 minutes a day just in Postman, testing JSON calls. If something goes wrong, I'm inspecting requests/responses in Chrome. When we integrate a new team member, we don't have to have them install any tools--they're included in the browser they have installed. We don't have to write any schemas. When I start a new project, I don't have to install any libraries: they're included in my language(s). When we integrate with a partner company, we hand them sample requests/responses as text.

How many JSON documents per day do we have to send to get the payoffs you're claiming?

And my company is not unique: in fact, the stack I'm using is one of the most common stacks on the market.
In addition to (and in conjunction with) the other comment about baptism for the dead, it is believed to be a fulfillment of an Old Testament prophecy of pointing "the hearts of the children to their fathers" before the end of the world. Only names and some important life event dates are required for baptisms, but there is also an emphasis on learning much more about them if possible.
Another thing to consider: sometimes you don't need to multiply precisely. If you can live with small errors, further speedups are possible.
This is pretty neat! Does pr-merger handle the deployment itself? From reading the docs, it seems like the tool merges a bunch of PRs into a single branch, correct?

JSON is already based on javascript's object model so it makes more sense to pass it around instead of a format not natively supported by the language that will be processing it.
It's always amazing to me how much performance work the basic gnu tools have seen in general. Grep makes some sense, but even yes(1) is fairly carefully tuned; in some cases it actually strikes me as kindof excessive, and not clearly worth the readability drop.

I left Amazon a bit over a year ago, after being there seven years. It always struck me as a combination of "not invented here" syndrome and a solution in search of a problem. It has no real world benefits over JSON, the tooling is limited, but you inevitably have to deal with some other team that regrets choosing it and now it's their API. I'm so happy I never have to look at it ever again, and seeing this post today is a real throwback to wasted engineering effort. Just let out go, Amazon.
My concern is not what can be done today, but rather in 15 years.

Tesla’s sales of regulatory credits allow other manufacturers to pollute more. They are essentially a compliance car manufacturer for hire. By allowing other pollution the drivers of Tesla cars don’t reduce worldwide auto pollution. Worse, Tesla’s constant inefficient expansion of factories and inefficient use of labor creates more greenhouse gases than if Tesla never existed in the first place and other auto manufacturers had to improve their cars rather than buy indulgences.
