Well, whenever someone complains that there's not enough supply of something, what that usually actually means is that there's not enough supply for the price they're willing to pay. (Unless the elasticity of supply has hit some real limits.)

News reporters seem not to be very good about following up on that detail, and the person will usually not volunteer or wish to draw attention to the $ they want to pay. Because they want cheap labor.

Now, the price at which you believe the market should be allowed to settle at before resorting to foreign talent/immigration is for companies to weigh in on, and Congress / policy makers to decide.

But maybe that process is broken at the moment, so we resort to simplistic 1 line summaries to get what party <x> wants. And aside from any of that, educating more people in what we want supply of is a good choice, any time.
The point made by GP is that it's sad how phone makers remove things that were expected stock characteristics from all phones, and are now threatened with extinction. Almost all android phones used to have a microSD slot to add storage, and for most of them, you could also open up the phone and just slide in a new battery. Now this requires specialty tools and great care, or paying someone to do it for you...

Can we talk about how google isn't affected by any sort of mainstream tracking protection? They're not going to be affected by this, because you visit google domains (directly or indirectly) multiple times daily. They're also not affected by blacklists, because they own recaptcha, and that's explicitly whitelisted in in popular blocking lists.
For a while now I've gone and forth between Firefox and Chrome (Chrome always felt more consistent to me, but I liked Firefox's privacy and security features), but recently I went all in on Firefox it and feels a lot nicer than it did even 6 months ago.

Yeah, agree completely. I still take Vitamin D daily, and its among my cheapest supplements, I think somewhere around 3 cents per day.
FF’s UX around things not related to browsing is slightly worse on all platforms. It’s most obvious on iOS where some of the styles for your “library” just don’t work correctly on iPhone 10’s. I also think their model for managing non-browsing stuff is too complex comparatively.

To access many things like history and bookmarks, you need to use the dropdown menu on the right, which has like 30 different options in it, some of which seem similar but are actually different. Those options are sometimes also available from different locations, so it can be confusing how to access what you’re looking for.

Other browsers are a lot more polished in this area, like Brave, Chrome, and even the new MS Edge. None are perfect, but I find their UX and UK slightly easier to use and generally less clunky. If FF fixed that, I’d be completely sold on it. But as is, I keep going back to the drawing board.

That’s why I started a content project earlier this year but my admittedly very small evidence is not in the line of this article: my readers just want easy & simple bullet point to grasp “facts”, instead of first-hand expertise, references or debates.

Your calculations don't agree with the majority of what gets published in peer reviewed literature. Many different groups have come up with tunable models to match current energy consumption with renewable build from 80% to 100%, with tunable parameters to cost optimize. General consensus is that nuclear at a small percentage would help greatly. However these models tend to use cost curve estimates from 5 years ago, so they assume that nuclear is far cheaper than reality, and meanwhile wind solar and storage have been ourperforming their predicted cost curves.

I would be willing to bet a dollar that for 95% of the earth, a wind/solar/storage/hydro grid will be cheaper, use fewer toxic resources, and produce more excess energy than one that includes nuclear. Because once you don't plan for that baseload, you start overbuilding cheap solar and wind to give excess capacity. A renewables-based grid is one with excess unused capacity nearly all the time, and one that is right at capacity for ~week per year.

CookieAutoDelete has some fatal flaws. It doesn't delete indexeddb, for instance. Also, if you're a tab hoarder it simply doesn't work for the common sites you visit. Temporary containers[1] is a much better option, as it uses firefox's container tabs to provide much tighter isolation.

I agree with your sentiment. There are videos that appear to depict the main explosion resulting from a missile strike, the folk filming react to it as it enters the frame immediately prior to detonation.

My view is that sunlight is the confounding effect. Getting substantial exposure to the sun has many health benefits, probably including Covid resiliency, and also increases vitamin D levels in the blood. So vitamin D correlates with, but does not cause, those health benefits.

How is it even plausible that sunlight does not have significant health benefits, given that Europeans evolved to have pale skin because they lived in high latitude environments?

Digital Revenue Exceeds Print for First Time for New York Times Company
Here in NYC my out of pocket therapy costs $175 per 45-min session, which is lower than what my therapist charges new clients. It’s a pretty normal rate, many of my friends in therapy pay between $175-225 per session.

Most therapists here don’t accept insurance, many insurance plans don’t cover mental health, and government programs don’t cover it at all.

£20-80 per session sadly sounds like a deal here in the US.

I still can't figure out the safe + effective dosage of Vitamin D.

I was taking 1,000mg a day and that didn't seem to move the needle on my Vitamin D blood work.

In recent weeks I've been taking 4,000mg/day (with K2), which is 4x what I've had pharmacists recommend.

I plan to keep that up for a couple more weeks while I'm under quarantine (recently flew from a high-risk country to a less high-risk country). After that I'll level off to 2,000mg a day.

But I'm shooting in the dark. I have no idea if 2,000mg/day or 4,000mg/day is too much or not enough.

I have. Yes, it would be safer if Tesla provided suitable switches, but absent that - your primary responsibility as driver is to safely control your car and that includes only driving as fast as visibility and road conditions allow. That means stop immediately if your visibility drops to zero, be it that your wipers can’t keep up or that you’re driving an unfamiliar car and you cannot find the wiper control. What would you do if you ran out of wiper fluid and mud or salt obscured your windshield? Blow through it? Turn on the hazard flashers if you need to.

Your first priority is to keep the car safely on the road and not run into any obstacle. Everything else takes second priority. If you fail to do that, you’ve failed your task as driver, you most likely were too fast.

Official Release: Rubik's Impossible (+ Walkthrough)
today I wanted to use google maps to get bicycle navigation to a particular café.
Searching in google maps, it gave me the right café in the top, I obviously expected the address/location/navigation, but all I got was info on how many times google meant I had been there before, other users photos, phone number, menu, website.

They aggregated so much infotmation that the map option itself drowned.

If google continue this way with their other services, it is not just people who wish to degoogle who will look for alternatives, it will also be people looking for better functionallity.

In the end, those services that are not open may be aquired. But I do think nonprofits also have a chance. (wikipedia seem to have found a strong brand, and signal is also getting traction)
In a previous company (large fortune 500 tech co) where all our QA engineers were doing manual GUI testing, the overwhelming number of them were H1-B visa holders. I always wondered why we needed to bring in "skilled foreign labor" when any kid with a high-school diploma could essentially do the job.
The key I think your article is missing though is that it should explain which numbers are representable exactly as floating points. This is very important information for other reasons too and that tells you how close "as close as possible" is. I can tell you that when I started learning about floating point numbers I knew there was some relative error and believed that operations like addition and square root were just "close enough"- in fact they're as good as possible and the only difficulty is which numbers we're allowed to write down! Enlightenment! And everything else falls out from there.

I do think your edit is a good clarification to make. My point about the "in mathematical notation" part though is that it assumes a and b are exactly represented as floating point numbers (else catastrophic cancellation can happen) though the sentence after the equation implies they are not representable.
What brand/strength of VitaminD supplements do you all take?
The AR claim is a claim that was made by instragram's head of product (who is quoted in other articles). The author presumably just wrote up the article and didn't bother to check that what Instagram are claiming is actually true.
It's already too political. I agree with you; just saying that everything bad in that regard will get even worse.
What strikes me as odd (aside from the massive shockwave), is how there were no fireballs, all other fertilizer fires have bright explosions. It's burnt rather than detonated. Here, all of the fertilizer ignited faster than the speed of sound (resulting in a virtually perfect spherical shockwave). Although the shockwave could have doused any flames, so that idea is plausible..

The other anomaly is the deep red smoke, that's something that seems unusual too (aside from storing so much fertilizer in such a built up area for so long). This is a disaster on so many levels, but then when is a disaster only caused by a single issue?

I'm not familiar with Modula-2's module system. What does it provide that the module system of OCaml does not?

>.def modules that specify the interface and that can be compiled separately from their .mod implementations, which may not even exist when a client application can already be coded against the compiled interface in a type-safe way.

I believe .mli files can be compiled separately from the matching .ml files, and client modules can be compiled against an .mli that does not have a corresponding .ml file.

And OCaml also supports functors, so modules can be parameterized.

Sorry, not arguing that Modula-2's module system is not good, guess I'm just not convinced that it's unrivalled today. And for all I know ML's module system was probably influenced by Modula-2.
The paper that is talked about here doesn't make a very strong case for prophylaxis use of hcq. They may look at population-adjusted death rates, but that's not really enough. You could do the same things between different neighborhoods in NYC and probably see huge difference in death rates that may actually be caused by obesity or so many other factors.

I will grant that prophylaxis use of HCQ is much more interesting than its use in treatment, but I don't think this paper is very strong.
Exactly. There is just no simple solution, only likely applied optimizations in certain contexts that those in the trenches will be able to discover.
