Cool whataboutism.

Anyway, the majority of cops are complicit and circle the wagons whenever a bad cop gets outed. When they start defending the public instead of their friends then you can use the phrase "good cop", otherwise all cops are bad cops.
Precisely. Language under the context that it is a restricted set of abstractions used to communicate a set of consistencies.

I have done technical sales-like engagements and this is the number one pattern I see from relationships that went well. The customer determined, for whatever reason (rightly so) that I could solve their problems. So they opened up and explained what the problems really are. If you can't get this, you can't help someone.

The US (and seemingly other countries) trademark system is woefully underspecified for the modern world. Among other issues:

- Enforcement, given an exponential explosion of user-created public content with increasingly sophisticated tools

- 1:1 design & physical matter copying

- Likeness-intended / indistinguishable deepfakes

Trademark skated by on "Would it confuse potential customers?" for decades, but we're at a place where that's no longer sufficiently precise.

Germans do have nice trains, no denying that.

My understanding of rural Germany is that villages are usually are within 6 km of each other. Is this fairly accurate?

I remember seeing a video or article about how towns in rural USA are ~15 miles (24 km) away from each other because half this distance is what a person could walk in a day, handle in-town business, and be home by dark.

Density makes a big difference.
I agree, they are different kinds of impact. That’s why I like to emphasize the Haber-Bosch process, because it is largely invisible. Mostly people have never heard of it.

Because the impact is different it’s very hard to compare. One interesting thought experiment that can help is to imagine the technology disappearing and think about what the consequences would be. Thinking that through for smartphones and the Haber-Bosch process is left as an exercise for the reader.
Lack of social interactions makes most people miserable, lack of productivity is irritating but you can live with it. And although you can fix social interactions without an office it demands effort, so isn't free unless you live with people like spouse or kids. At work they pay you to talk with people, so social interactions there are free since trading effort for money is the purpose of work and the social is just a side effect.
What's this about a timeframe of a few minutes to 0% power for load-following coal or nuclear generation? Quite a strawman.
Certainly. This should mean statically typed code is being compiled to BEAM, no?
I agree, it's a small percentage. But if we are looking at the percentage of cops willing to lie to protect a bad cop or willing to look the other way when a bad cop does something bad, I'm afraid the percentage is way higher than 0.2%.
Religion is one of this weird things that seems to be deeply "built in" into our mind, some kind of atavism.

It is much more prevalent than a rational, scientific approach and I can understand people want to defend something they deeply believe in. We are not a tolerant species.

Now, as a pure atheist, I am all in favor to ban these laws and pus religion somewhere n the side, together with fairy tales (or psychiatric studies). I also know that this will not happen.
I spent a couple of years as field service as part of my job. What I came to appreciate was every form of communication has it's uses. Sometimes there is no good substitute for face to face.

there are relatively simple options for energy storage: lifting things up with the excess energy, then letting them back down if the energy is needed (at night). traditionally this is hydro, but it's also possible to do it with pulleys and concrete blocks.

It was really scary not knowing what the correct thing to think on this issue was so I feel a lot better now that a large corporation has demonstrated the ethically suitable position.
It’s been repeatedly debunked that in terms of real estate and operating costs, open plan offices don’t save money compared to one-office-per-worker designs, not even in super dense urban centers. To boot, many tech companies actively spend money to tear down privacy features and install open plan features, even when there is no growth plan or need for higher worker density per square foot, often even splurging ridiculous money to make the office have excessively opulent features like gourmet dining, coffee bars, alcohol bars, roof decks, etc. - despite hugely financial losses from the destructive effect on productivity and lack of privacy.

Offices are not chosen for short term cost savings, except possibly very early stage startups. Beyond that, offices are juvenile shrines to the company executives and founders.

I’ve found AWS services individually to be straightforward but the UI is full of unintuitive menus so you always end up having to google “how to x on AWS”. Also understanding how to make the services interact takes a fairly high level of networking knowledge.
This is the real answer here. It's widely believed that domains working the opposite way of filesystem hierarchies and even URL paths was a huge design mistake. Think of how many billions of dollars have been lost over the years from account compromises resulting from people not correctly distinguishing yourbank.com/account/foobar from yourbank.com-account.info/foobar.

SYS is basically OVH’s lower-end offering that still provides SLAs and better bandwidth (they have an even cheaper offering called Kimsufi but no SLA on those - though great value for staging/non-critical systems).

The experience is mostly solid, though they don’t provide any kind of console access and I once got locked out after putting a machine to sleep from the command line (and had to open a ticket for someone to reboot it manually).

The "problem" is that this is not a virtual machine and most assumptions or ways of thinking that work for AWS or similar don't work here. For example, you can't just upload an image or move data volumes around between machines. The storage volume is a physical disk attached to the machine, if you need to copy them you need to actually boot the machine, SSH into it and do your thing. Similarly, those disks can break down and you need to plan ahead (they provide 2 disks per machine and expect you to use a software RAID 1 or have a backup/restore strategy that can tolerate those disks failing).

This is where building your own layer on top of it (whether Kubernetes or VMWare or similar) makes sense and will make your life easier and allow you to use most tools we take for granted when it comes to VM providers - you're essentially building your own AWS.

This is a whole other league compared to Linode - the former provides VM instances with varying levels of performance - the one we’re talking about is bare-metal and you are guaranteed to have the performance of whatever hardware specs you chose. Bandwidth is also unmetered so you can saturate the pipe 24/7 if you wanted to. Very cost-effective for serving media, though every machine only comes with 250Mbps, so maybe it's better to have an origin server on SYS, and lots of downstream instances on Kimsufi which serve as a downstream cache for the origin - they are dirt-cheap and come with 100Mbps bandwidth each (unmetered as well).
All concepts are language.
In this context he's not wrong. Planning a party (for example) might involve a lot of discussion for time, food etc. It's far more complicated to organize this with everyone and find a common demoninator compared to simply putting people in a group, with everyone giving his input when needed.

The main consequence of vitamin D toxicity is a buildup of calcium in your blood (hypercalcemia), which can cause nausea and vomiting, weakness, and frequent urination. Vitamin D toxicity might progress to bone pain and kidney problems, such as the formation of calcium stones.

It's not good to have too much either.
I agree with this 1000%. Projects (note not programs or individual source files!) are simply easier to grok (maintain, enhance, debug, refactor) with statically (and strongly) typed languages than dynamic IMO.

Five years ago when switching jobs I’d pursue “full stack” positions because I’d done a fair amount of front end dev in the past. No more, me personally, I’m backend all the way. Dynamic typing (vanilla js) is just harder; more time consuming more cognitive load, IMO.

This is built in to wholesale energy markets and well understood. Energy prices go negative with some degree of regularity and it is built into the system.

If you already have a grid interconnection and a handy energy sink, you can definitely make money just buying excess power for a negative price at certain times. So far, though, it's not quite frequent or extreme enough to justify a bespoke infrastructure investment.

And if you're going to make some kind of investment, better to spend money on some kind of energy storage tech (i.e a chemical or physical battery.) Then you not only take excess power off the system when it isn't wanted, but also help power the evening peak when usage ramps up just as solar is ramping down.
Why is specifically availability of Calcifediol relevant, which as far as I understand is a step in the middle of the bodys reaction chain while processing Vitamin D3 (which is easily available)?

> In my experience, Java's generics were horribly confusing and not quite type-safe, in contrast to the dead-simple polymorphism in Haskell. But feel free to correct me here.

Oh, they're typesafe (except for a bug in the implementation found a couple of years ago) but I agree they're more confusing than in languages without subtyping. I'd still pick Java over Haskell any day (but I'd take Haskell over Scala). Pick your poison, I guess.

> What a language gives you is less important that what it makes easy, and I cannot imagine a more cumbersome syntax for ADTs than the one in the linked proposal.

Nah, the syntax is fine. Somewhat more verbose than ML's or Haskell's, but it fits well with the rest of the language. So instead of Haskell's,

data Expr = ConstantExpr Int
| PlusExpr Expr Expr
| TimesExpr Expr Expr
| NegExpr Expr
deriving (Show, Eq);

You write,

sealed interface Expr {}
record ConstantExpr(int i) implements Expr {}
record PlusExpr(Expr a, Expr b) implements Expr {}
record TimesExpr(Expr a, Expr b) implements Expr {}
record NegExpr(Expr e) implements Expr {}

Not quite as succinct, but it's not really any more tedious (and you get component names, too).

You can pack people more densely, and therefore the office space you need to pay for is smaller for the same number of employees.

At my office (which I haven't seen since March), I have one desk large enough to fit two monitors, and a chair. That's all the space that's for me. My desk is part of a row of 4 desks side-by-side, and there's 4 more desks facing them. If you set up cubicles, with the density I had last time I had a cubicle, you could probably fit half as many people. If you set up offices you could fit even less.

My employer rents half the floors in one building and just about all the floors in the building across the street, so having to find twice as much space would be not only expensive but logistically complex - either we'd all have to move, or you'd have to commute to get to certain teams.

By the logic you'd have to use to claim all of this area is "in a flood plain and uninhabitable", you'd have to apply the same to virtually every other city in the US.

The offer is coming from the director, so he _is_ offering. 'Misleading' makes it sound like the title is a lie, which it isn't. You just misunderstood.

Also, the offer coming from 120 people is a lot more powerful than just 1 person. It signals that many people find this an unjust ruling, rather than just 1 person, and are willing to go all the way to Nigeria for it and spend a month in what is probably hell on earth, especially for westerners.

I should mention meta skills, skills that are more general:

1. Learning to learn. When you learn to play an instrument or a language you should learn to learn better. So learning something new becomes easier.

That is learning about space repetition software and how your memory works. Physical and mental fatigue,moderate stress, diet, relaxation times and sleep.

One of the best abilities that you could master is the ability to learn from the masters in any discipline, what is called in psychology "modeling", and it is natural for kids. That usually takes letting some part of yourself to die, accepting that you are wrong at something, and it for adults is incredible painful and rewarding at the same time.

2. Managing your emotions in front of your opposite sex, in front of threats, in front of a big audience. In front of important work to do.

Getting gradually out of your comfort zone. Taking and handling bigger and bigger risks while knowing your limitations. Again that means accepting (a small)suffering as a routine.

Being conscious about what you are feeling at every moment and knowing what to do helps you master procrastination in you and in others.

That makes you incredible attractive and resourceful person.

To speak in front of lots of people you need to have something important to say to them. You need to find something more important than yourself.

In general those skills are counterintuitive, like doing routine exercise means suffering a little every day but over months or years it improves you so much most people just wont be able to compete with you at psychical or metal tasks.
Folks are getting bound up in shallow semantics in this whole thread and are missing the nuance in your distinctions.

> After adjusting for confounding factors, there was a significant association between vitamin D sufficiency and reduction in clinical severity, inpatient mortality serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and an increase in lymphocyte percentage

Here's the key sentence from the study results. They are claiming a significant association [0] between Vitamin D above and below a threshold [1] and clinical severity [2]. The word "getting" is a bit deceptive, because "getting enough" tends to be in reference to their base behavior. Eating fruit helps me get enough vitamin C, so a doctor might recommend adjusting my behavior if tests show I have vitamin C deficiency. Adjusting my behavior would hopefully result in me "getting enough".

This is pretty different when compared to the study showing treatment results from Spain (Per another commenter) [3]. Here's the key conclusions from that study:

> Our pilot study demonstrated that administration of a high dose of Calcifediol or 25-hydroxyvitamin D, a main metabolite of vitamin D endocrine system, significantly reduced the need for ICU treatment of patients requiring hospitalization due to proven COVID-19. Calcifediol seems to be able to reduce severity of the disease, but larger trials with groups properly matched will be required to show a definitive answer.

Treatment (Administration) with a chemical known to modulate the Vitamin D system now shows a clinical effect (ICU treatment reduction, albeit they have some reservations about study size). There's a whole set of further study that would need to be done to directly prove that the mechanism of action is exactly what they think it is, but it provides another good checkpoint (And is at the right abstraction layer to start considering it as a treatment more generally).
