Yes, objectively the evidence I've seen supports that HCL and zinc, if given early enough, improve the outcome for the patient.

The media, which is mostly left leaning, ignores this and instead prefers to take cheap shots at Trump whenever possible on the subject. It seems very biased, very childish, and entirely divorced from reality - actually that more or less sums up the state of US politics lately.

You can use it right now as long as you're using Linux 5.1 or later. It's going to be a bit before these kernels work their way through enterprise deployment schedules, and longer before io_uring is widely deployed enough that more conservative places are comfortable using io_uring in production.
> Buying new clothing because of yearly trends is way to damaging to the enviroment for what it's worth.

You can say this about virtually any hobby/interest that you don’t personally find enjoyable.

Buying any new stuff yearly isn’t great for the environment — with exceedingly rare exceptions. But in the grand scheme of things: owning/driving a car, living in too big a home, eating meat, and having kids are so so so much more destructive that buying a few new shirts and pants every year becomes a rounding error.
This seems super cool! I participated in a USB sniffer kickstarter some years ago called the open vizsla which had problems and was eventually mostly delivered.

Funds Recovery
Hello everyone, i would like to share my experience with you all, I lost over 100 thousand dollars to all these fake so called BO merchants , after several attempts in trying to recover my money all efforts failed, i was looking through the page of the internet then i saw cybergoldenhacker they were recommended as a good and reputable company so i reach out to them, to my surprise i was able to to recover all my funds
contact: cybergoldenhacker at gmail dot com
Here’s a thought: come up with an online payment platform with ZERO txn fees. You only pay 1% when you cash out. It can be done and it will be done.
I find it impossible to argue against encryption. People should have the tools to do things secretly. If you want to prevent all the bad things Bill talked about, attack those things, not the tools.
It's a standard practise:

1. Create a bug fix on the main development branch. eg "master" or equivalent.

This ensures the bug is "resolved" for all new builds and future releases.

2. Apply the fix to the supported release branches. eg v3.12.x, v3.11.x, etc.

This ensures the bug is "resolved" for all new point releases created from those release branches. eg v3.12.1, v3.12.2, etc.
There are maintainers for each subsystem. For example, linux/drivers/media is maintained by Mauro Carvalho Chehab. When you have a patch, you submit it to the linux-media mailing list and it's vetted there. If Mauro thinks it's good, then he'll submit it to Linus as part of a large merge package.

For the two patches I submitted, it took two months to get in the kernel.
This was a very good read, highly recommended for those that may pass by in the future. Long article, and lacking in meaningful conclusion on how to move forward, but a great history lesson that admits to a lot of mistakes.
I believe the 2009 swine flu is responsible for this times weak response. I remember last time a lot of fear was stoked up in the media and a huge amount of tamiflu bought by the government, and almost nothing happened in the end, apart from public scepticism and unhappiness about the squandering of funds. I think politics didnt want to repeat the mistake

As someone who has had to dig deep with git blame, I tremendously value a good long multiline commit message. At the very least it can save the trouble of having to dig up some obscure mailing list discussion or bug report to figure out why a change was made, assuming that exists at all. If it doesn't, all you have is the git commits.

tire vs tyre - apparently “tire” is older, but when pneumatic tyres became a thing, the spelling “tyre” caught on in England. So that's not an option.

kerb vs curb (n) - again, curb is older, but somehow a spelling error^W varient caught on in England. In this case, it is unfortunate since Scottish people allegedly pronounce “curb” but write “kerb” (they pronounce ur like u+r and er like e+r, not as a single sound). So this one is not just not an option, it's actively hostile to many British peoplee

-or vs -our: unless you will spell governour and use other like spellings, you have no historical leg to stand on so you might as well allow both variants.

program is the older spelling, programme is preferred by those who are jealous of the French.

I never understood the logic of swapping -re to -er in theatre, centre tho. I mean, why only -re but not -le? why don't Americans tickel and cuddel? Surely the logic is the same. So I think you can mount your high horse here.

So, let's walk through this. You have to either have a bunch of people look at child pornography and vet out all that content, or train a neural network on gigabytes worth of child pornography. Either way you want to fight child pornography by collecting and viewing tons and tons of it, as opposed to, I don't know, preventing children from being sex trafficked? Not letting children marry adults?
The biggest porn website on the planet still has trouble solving this problem. Everyone in this thread including bill gates has assumed that this is an easy one to solve.

This is so asinine, especially because bill lumped this problem in with fact checking, which is in a completely different realm of problems.

Conceded, it can be a slippery slope for some. For me it's not, thankfully. I've no doubt the rigid clock-on/clock-off process helps to keep some people from overworking, but that isn't me. Even in the office I would show up when I finally got to showing up, and would leave when I felt I'd, personally, done enough for the day. I have absolutely no qualms with putting down my laptop when I feel I'm done.

The major difference is that instead of my mindless scrolling through HN or something at 2pm being on work time that is just lost to unproductivity, it's now not because I can get up and do something (grocery run, make lunch, etc.), and conversely that burst of focus and energy in the evening now goes towards productive work rather than focusing more on a videogame or something.

Sure thing, I've just emailed you.
I have only seen software training twice in my career.

At Travelocity I became a developer because I was involuntarily reclassify into development. If I wanted to keep my job I had to learn it. Any time tough challenges came up I was expected to train myself and figure out how to do it the right way. Copy/pasting from an external source or hoping some framework/tool would do my job for me were unacceptable. This line of thinking evaporated the moment I separated for a military deployment.

At Bank of America they will pay for you to attend some boot camp class about using some framework.

In absolutely every other case you were expected know what you needed the moment you walked through the door and there is never training or any other kind of professional growth once you get there. If you want to get better or learn some new school you are writing code on your own outside office hours.

That sets false expectations and bias in hiring and candidate selection. If you look at almost any posted developer open rec the listed qualifications are usually a list of tools, frameworks, and languages. Rarely is the list of qualifications specific to skills or performance.

The expectation is to hire a tool money that can turn a figurative wrench instead of an engineer who can create a more powerful/efficient system. The bias kicks in during candidate selection. The company knows it needs a capable candidate to be selected for the given set of requirements but there is no formal industry guidance to define any kind of baseline.

Perhaps you should take pause and reflect on the broader issue Gates is talking about.

Social media is destroying our society in front of our eyes. Identifying how and why that is happening is something that matters too. The hardline techie position that all communications must be completely encrypted with obfuscated origins is a position whose consequences are not fully understood.

They're valuable for when you're looking for why they broke the code base. This looks like dead code, will I break anything if I remove it? Git blame gets me the ticket number, details on the particular change being made, and (if the author writes their commits well) related files and tests associated with this change. From there, I can see if the other code has since been removed, or if there's an edge case I didn't think of, or if the thing was never plugged in in the first place, or if this is a bug no one has noticed. All within two minutes, and without needing to ask the author (if they're even still available).
I don't know about you, but no matter how much I try I can't just spontaneously summon up focus if my mind's not commmited to it. I was that way in school, in uni and now in work.

Working in an office pretending that I can focus on the task at hand whenever required by the roster of office life is one of the biggest charades I've ever performed. It's not possible for me and I piss around on the internet on their time when I am unable to focus. I don't feel that's an abnormal situation for people, either, as it seems many of my colleagues also do it.

With the current cost of solar and wind, coal->natural gas conversions aren't a slam dunk for utilities or investor owned generators.

> Coal power plants in the US have been retiring at an average clip of 10 gigawatts per year as the clean energy transition takes hold. That may sound impressive, but it’s not nearly quick enough, considering that climate change is already buffeting the Earth. The pace has to pick up quickly in order to avoid more catastrophe. That’s where a new thing called solar-for-coal swaps comes in. The “swap” part is a bit complicated, but if the idea catches hold it could speed up coal power plant retirements and skim more than 20 gigawatts right off the top.

> In a new white paper, the clean energy group Energy Innovation has identified some low hanging coal fruit, in the form of 179 gigawatts that can’t compete on cost with solar any more. These coal units are still operating for various reasons even though solar saves money, but Energy Innovation has picked out a group of 22.5 gigawatts that could be rolled over in short order.

What alternative do you suggest? Keeping in mind all the parties that will be involved, besides your project.
Sure, but wages are only component of total compensation. You can't ignore everything else.

Total compensation as a percentage of national income has remained pretty steady, which means productivity growth is being passed on to employees.[1] Not necessarily as wages thought.

Alternatively, what if people have stopped buying/selling cheap housing?

If everyone except millionaires has dropped out of the market (say, due to lockdown restrictions) then the median house price will rise even if the market is dying. Particularly if the wealthy are desperately trying to turn cash into assets in response to the government largess.

I suspect Mr. Carlson fell for Simpson's paradox with that one; it seems unlikely that the property market is booming. That chart isn't enough evidence.

In short, Covid-19 triggered an economic tsunami, but so far the US federal government has held it at bay:

* Since March, the Federal Reserve has created "out of thin air" approximately $3 trillion dollars in new monetary assets, to support asset prices and prevent another financial crisis. This figure is about 3x greater than the $1 trillion of monetary assets created in all of 2008 and 2009, during the worst of the financial crisis. Source: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/WALCL

* In addition to the above monetary intervention, the federal government launched a ~$3 trillion rescue package at the beginning of the pandemic (including all those PPP loans that won't be repaid, all that spending on special unemployment benefits, all sorts of support for states, businesses, etc.), and now the debate is whether to spend an additional ~$1+ trillion (the last figure floated by the US treasury) or an additional ~$3.4 trillion (as proposed by congress). Source: https://www.reuters.com/article/health-coronavirus-usa-congr...

The federal government is supporting the economy in an unprecedented manner to an unprecedented degree, to prevent it from collapsing until the virus is fully under control. All economic statistics reflect this unprecedented massive economic support. They do not reflect the "true underlying state" of the economy. There's nothing counterintuitive about that.
