Does anybody know the rationale behind the policy the Internet Archive has about removing past content at the request of the domain owner (or leaser, to be precise)? I'm sure they have their reasons, but they are not very intuitive.

To me it's as if I lived on 15 Main St., and for that reason alone I had the right to block the publication of photo albums of past years years of 15 Main St., even if the dates are clearly indicated.
As the paper states the only effect of Vitamin D supplementation is that it reduces Vitamin D deficiency.
Definitely. Some lab equipment I used was handled by a computer running CPM.

Oh, no doubt about that, but in the words of Professor Farnsworth: "A man can dream, though, a man can dream..."
I’m not sure my doctor has access to better studies than what is in the TFA. My question is weirdly formulated, what I ask is is supplementation useless given what we know? Or is it safer to stay in the (arbitrary?) recommended range? What I get from the parent post is that given low vitamin D is a symptom of poor health, supplementation is useless if someone is in good health.
Even on Windows it just takes a few hours of setting up a build VM machine from scratch, installing a few tools, to first full build. It is more inconvenient than Linux (as is all Windows building, indeed) but far from being hard to do.

I did that regularly some years ago for the company I work for, because we needed OpenJDK Windows binaries, and there wasn't such a convenient thing as AdoptOpenJDK. So in order to not get caught in stupid licensing debacles with Oracle it came down to just compile the Windows binaries by yourself.
If your outside income is predictable and you prefer to do smooth withholding, you should be able to get quite close with W-4 excess withholding instructions.

I just try to make sure I hit the safe harbor withholding amounts every year (100% or 110% of last year's tax liability, depending on income level) and then otherwise just minimize withholdings.
I live in Seattle and visited CHAZ/CHOP. While most protestors had masks, a large number of them had the mask below their nose and frequently not covering their mouth either. Nobody curated what I witnessed firsthand.

I think the biggest difference is the protests skewed young and motorcycle rallies skew boomer.
I think this is a case in which words don't properly convey the scale at hand. $15.5 million and $700 billion might better be said as $15.5 million and $700,000.0 million.

The biggest downside of owning a good Android device (like a powerful Motorola that is a few years old); Is Moto abandons updates after 2 years (so if you buy a 1 year old phone ...), and then the phone might get one additional major AOSP update from an awesome developer on XDA. Later that developer burns out. No more security updates. And definitely no more major updates. :(

> Media many times will not be saved so pages look broken.

In my experience, this has gotten much, much better in the last few years. I haven't explored enough to know if this is part of the archival process or not, but I've noticed on a few occasions that assets will suddenly appear some time after archiving a page. For instance, when I first archived this page (https://web.archive.org/web/20180928051336/https://www.intel...), none of the stylesheets, scripts, fonts or images were present. However, after some amount of time (days/weeks) they suddenly appeared and I was able to use the site as it originally appeared.
Seems fine. Nothing particularly interesting.

The one thing that stands out is 'lower conscientiousness'. I would have thought being on the frontier, the #1 thing you needed was that. Very strict discipline, responsibility etc. - it could be this is more of a 'farmer trait' and less so a 'mountain' trait.
I think people are too hung up on the minor difference between html/xml vs json. The same folks who decry html as just for "documents" will at the same time push a "document" database because it's json. And now, we have GraphQL running on a server to turn our data into a tree shape to send to the client, but it's okay because it's json and not html...

>On top of this, people protesting were almost exclusively outdoors whereas there are tons of stores, bars, etc in sturgis that people went in.

The inside/outside dynamic is not the only part of the location that matters for the dangers these events present. The big protests mainly occurred in big cities and were mainly attended by locals. The Sturgis rally happens in the middle of nowhere, people come from all over, and then head back home to places that are generally more rural. Sturgis is therefore much more likely to spread the virus to people and places who wouldn't have had much exposure otherwise.

Also we can't have this conversation while ignoring the false equivalency of these two events. There is a fundamental difference in the urgency of attending a protest versus attending the Sturgis rally. If they both presented the exact same danger to the population, Sturgis would still be a more egregious gathering due to being an entertainment event. We are in the middle of a pandemic. We can cut down on these large entertainment gatherings whether it is Sturgis or Coachella.

Hey everyone, excited to launch Tutr Instruct – it’s the easiest way for teachers to host live classes. Just set your schedule & price, and share a link with your students to start hosting live classes!

Over the past few months, been observing how it’s been super difficult for teachers making the shift to teaching online, cobbling together an array of products to schedule & book classes, handle payments, and teach live classes virtually – so decided to open up the platform I built to handle all these concerns.

We're starting with giving early access to a few teachers who're are already teaching online – share this with any teachers you know!

Would love to hear any feedback & answer any questions!
for starters one is in the gut the other in the skin, sounds like a fundamental difference to me
My general advice for anyone who has a little spare time at work and is looking for how to improve their company but doesn't know where to start is:

Take out the garbage.

By which I mean, everybody has a part of their job that they just don't like to do. It's a necessary chore, but not fun or interesting or exciting in any way. Look around you for that kind of work that's already being done by your management or your peers. Take that task off of their plate (most folks will gladly give it to you) and do it for a while, and then see if there's a way to eliminate it, automate it, or otherwise improve the experience of doing the job.

Especially as a software person, the amount of power you have to take little parts of the business that are rough and make them smooth is tremendous. Taking out the garbage is just an easy way to get started helping out.

I'll say this also applies to your first few weeks/months in a new codebase. Find the little problems that everyone else is ignoring because they have bigger things to worry about and tackle those for them. Beyond being helpful to the team, it helps you learn the territory of the codebase more quickly than you otherwise would.
Julia libraries are plenty mature enough to be useful and Julia's 10x advantage in numerical computing far outweighs the difference in many cases.
Doubt it. With so many things out of our control, in particular our privacy. I think most of us would want the last vestigial of it...our home computers private? Having said that, we're rapidly giving that up with ChromeOS/connected home & work PC's. However, I'm trying to give it my all to keep what little that I can private...private. Like family pictures, personal documents etc.

I'm already doing a hybrid model of google drive/dropbox etc.

Ack, who am I kidding??! Privacy? Really?

Unless you literally type in by hand and print out from an air gap computer? Then maybe moving onto paper and pencil? then maybe stone carving? back to film cameras you develop yourself?

I actually see someday in the future and maybe even near future of divided counties, cities where there will be connected people vs not. Literally.
> Why does the actual product need to be delivered to the fake reviewers?

Because Alibaba, and now Amazon require tracking numbers from sellers.

From time to time they take these tracking numbers, and check them with APIs of shipping companies, and postal services. If a seller has too many invalid tracking numbers, or shipments that don't match the address, they rm -rf him.
They do have some discussion in there about the option of valuing asymptomatic cases at $0. So it's not like they didn't think of this option. But they went with $11,000 as the default option in their model, anyway. This leaves me thinking we may be looking at a Chesterton's Fence situation: the reason isn't obvious to me, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist or isn't a good one.

I'm guessing there is some subtext here that an armchair analyst isn't going to catch from reading just this paper. Perhaps, for example, the cost of asymptomatic cases is there because "asymptomatic" doesn't actually mean "no symptoms at all", it means "the patient didn't subjectively feel ill enough to seek care." In which case there probably is some real cost to factor into the average. Or perhaps the argument is that asymptomatic cases still carry some risk of secondary effects such as myocarditis that absolutely need to be taken into account and averaged into the group from a public health perspective.

It's hard to say for sure, since the paper clearly isn't written for a non-expert audience and therefore doesn't spend much time on defining jargon.
You may think it's a ridiculous thing to say, and I also think it's a ridiculous thing to say. But Grover Norquist uses this exact line of reasoning when arguing against the IRS pre-populating taxes - and Grover Norquist has enormous influence on what policy positions many Republicans take regarding taxes.

Not me. The fact that it's in git makes it easy to mirror and export, so I don't consider github to be a central point of failure. Issue tracking and PR handling lives in the github UI, but the significant change here is a change from Mercurial to Git, which I hold as a positive development.

Fundamentally git is a data storage format that is very well-defined, with a standard command-line interface which is fine, not great. Mercurial has an arguably better command-line interface, but a data structure that is not well-defined or documented, and the main interface to hg is through python-based plugins, which is just awful.

> Arguably, this high-level decision making is the only part that the government did, and should receive credit for, as the Six Companies consortium actually executed the construction.

I agree with this, but couldn't it also be applied inversely? If a government project experiences cost overruns due to a private contractor poorly estimating the project, shouldn't blame also be placed on said contractor? Success is so often privatized and failure socialized.
I read about a really cool way to move to having stuff automated - on here I think. You make a bash script as an interactive checklist (e.g. step 1 flip the floop then press Y to continue) and then you can automate steps one by one as time permits. You can also have a log of the steps being done then as well.
That can happen too, though I think you're saying the opposite of the parent comment.
Mounting a GoPro Inside a Toyota Supra's Intake Manifold
My experience is that when I sign up to a service with a previous account, the previous account tells me what data the new service will have access to, and then the new service has a couple of more steps to fully create a new account.

In this example it was "Log in with LinkedIn" -> immediately to the front page. I've never had that before.
> More control over your privacy and data

And yet their messaging strategy is to push a carrier standard with what I consider an egregious oversight: end to end encryption. You know, that thing Apple and Signal have had since the beginning of time.

Even worse, Google decided to auto-enroll millions of devices into their RCS hub meaning it's receiving device text messages in cleartext. How do you like dem apples? And you thought the metadata collecting was bad.

There was a fad for a while of not using PLCs, and instead using 'regular computers', at least for a portion of the system (usually a PLC still handled the most performance sensitive parts).

When you have a production line that's 100 feet of steel, motors, ovens, and other equipment, and the cost of redoing all the control systems is quoted at hundreds of thousands of dollars, then why change it? It still works.
Nicely done. Couple of recommendations:

I believe you when the business knows exactly what it's building. In the context of the article and the comment I was responding to, building high quality software wouldn't have helped them early on, thats kinda the whole point of tech debt and the discussion here.

Sure it is. If 5% of asymptomatic cases require care that costs $200k, you come to $10k a person. This is entirely plausible in the US, particularly if you are amortizing the cost over the lifetime of the patient.
> long term battery manufacturers are gonna come out with.

Do you honestly believe that? Like how often do we need to see industries disrupted from outside. Tesla itself literally did this to the car industry, 'no way Tesla can innovate and beat GM'.

Panasonic and LG is focused on making deals with lots of people and leveraging their technology to make lots of money. They haven't fundamentally innovated on Lithium Ion in quite a long time. The are totally entrenched and will make slight incremental tweaks to their chemistry.

Tesla has been involved with battery technology for a long time and they know a huge amount about it. They basically wrote the book on how to do battery packs with Lithium Ion (people don't remember but putting together 1000s of cells back then was considered totally insane). The founders of half the battery startups once worked at Tesla.

They are also the largest consumers of lithium ion cells in the world by far and have more date about their performance then anybody else by far.

Tesla has multiple long term research agreements with some really good battery researchers, like Jeff Dahn and others. They have bought multiple companies that had interesting technology for battery or battery manufacturing. They have spent multiple 100M on this. They also have one or likely more pretty large pilot battery production lines.

They will release their own battery/battery manufacturing line and it will be ahead of what the state of the art is.

But I'm sure they spent all these many billions of $ and 5-10 years of research in order to do some news item twitter storm to booster their stock price in the short term. Does that honestly make sense to you as a strategy?

> a few months ago it was how novel their heating was

It is novel and its something that makes their cars more efficient. Its in every Model Y, you can open them up and see yourself if you don't believe that it exsits. And btw, the company that does the most teardowns (selling reports to the competition) confirmed that they had never seen a heat pump like that before.

Maybe, just maybe, Tesla is just doing good technology and there is not a actually a huge conspiracy.

That all said, I don't think you can value the stock based on them becoming a battery supplier or something stupid like that.
>> who published guides to the new land and advertised in the homeland.

Most of which were full of lies and criminal exaggerations. That's why "Springfield" is the most popular town name in the US. What else would a new farmer want more than a field with its own water supply?
I think I should have left the "End of process." in the quote, because this makes more sense. It's not the end of the process. The taxing authority sends you an estimate, you adjust based on a few factors they didn't account for and send it back.

That still raises the question, though, of how your employer knows enough about your tax situation to not significantly over or under withhold. If my wife and I just relied on the basic IRS calculations on the W-4 and didn't specify additional withholding by dollar amount we would end up owing thousands, possibly over $10,000, the following April (before penalties). How do Ireland and others avoid that?
