We (and many other mammals) have what is known as the mammalian diving reflex. It’s a hard-wired psychological response to immersion in cold water. When triggered, our heart rate slows, blood is redirected towards our core to protect critical organs, and a host of other energy and oxygen conserving mechanisms come into play in anticipation of us holding our breath for an extended period underwater.
These are acts of war by foreign entities against US citizens, hospitals, and governments. The lack of military response is dumbfounding and unacceptable.

The NSA is recording every byte of data crossing our borders, and also much internal traffic, and they are unable or unwilling to track down these perpetrators?

> Regardless of the damage, I'd just take the bullet, fix my security, and not pay.

It's irrational to "bite the bullet" if the damage is significantly greater than the ransom.

Sure, it's better in the long term, but not for the person/organization being ransomed.
Not that it undermines your overall point, but it might prove to disincentivize attacking smaller companies that aren't in as strong a position to use proxies -- which I would still count as a win.
The Greatest Country On Earth™ has its citizens flee to the Empire Of Evil™ just so they can speak a simple truth without being imprisoned or called a traitor. The incompetent bureaucrats in charge of Snowden's prosecution made him a martyr instead. Those people are massive fuckups even at playing bad guys and you trust them to operate an Orwellian surveillance and suppression system? Good luck with that.

> I know of several people at the friends-of-friends level who've either been in hospital for long periods and/or have "long covid"

I personally know someone who got very sick, and had long term symptoms ("brain fog") from catching the flu. They also may have gotten covid (direct exposure to someone who tested positive, and covid symptoms), and again, they had some long term symptoms. Long term symptoms after respiratory diseases aren't new.

Heck, I'm relatively young and healthy, and the last time I got sick with what was probably the flu it took me about a month to feel 100% again.

Opened a truly passive income Etsy shop that's printable cards[0] and another of Christmas ornaments that's largely passive (I just have to run the designs through my laser cutter and package them)[1]. I anticipate that one to ramp up in the coming month (if favorites/views are any indicator).

My biggest income maker has actually been the least passive: dollhouse furniture[2]. Even then it's only like a couple hours of work a week, and I cleared four figures my first month open (this past month). Plus, it's really fun to design and build tiny furniture.

This is very recent and no patients have come forward AFAIK. They'd probably have little cause to draw attention to themselves at this point, although I imagine lawsuits are forthcoming if the justice system doesn't handle this in a way that sees serious damages awarded to the patients.

Personally, I'd imagine they feel mortified. This pretty much seems like the worst-case scenario for leaked personally identifiable data.
Good for you, but your FIRE goal either explicitly or inherently assumes both an inflation rate and an expected return rate. It is crazy to ignore both as you seem to be doing with your statement that you are safe from failing to meet 12-15% returns simply because you are assuming a 3.5% withdrawal rate. In addition to inflation and expected return, you also should consider max draw down potential.
I'm a fan of the Steelcase Think, but I've enjoyed the Leap at an office I visited in the past.
Well, you can certainly “learn” things faster (with scare quotes). The fundamental insight of science is precisely that the method of learning that you describe is actually extremely unreliable.

Agreed that there’s a lot of time that has been lost on these really important topics. I’d readily concede that a lot of that time has been lost because of frankly racist perspectives on other cultures. Just like meditation is not - or ought not be - exclusively an eastern innovation, science is not - and ought not be - exclusively a western innovation. Let’s take findings like this as an absolutely critical merging of thought and not a subversion or subjugation of thought.
It's a function of percentage income saved, not amount earned. The formula is (income / investment rate / percent income saved). If my investment rate is 4%, I need to save 25 years worth of salary. Saving 50% of my salary looks like I would need 50 years on the surface. However, my portfolio generates income from day 1, so it's actually a lot faster than it seems.

Just for reference, I was living on less than $750/month until I got married. The companies I worked at had plenty of free food. I didn't need a gym membership because the handyman work I did on my investment properties was more than enough. Until we had kids, my spouse and I were still able to survive on less than $1,000/month. We are based in the south SF Bay Area. We had 100% income replacement by our mid-30s.

have you tried using WhatsApp without the Contacts permission?

Not to be pedantic about an off-hand comment, but yeah, works fine, AFAICT. I'm not even a "pro" WhatsApp user: I use it strictly for the one social group that didn't think SMS was good enough. Meaning I didn't have to know the secret incantation. I'm sure I was asked about contacts, to which I assume I said "FB? Hahaha, no way!" And if I go to the Status tab, it sho'nuff complains about me not uploading contacts and if I want status of all my WhatsApp peeps, I need to upload contacts.
Both parties can still request a hearing from The Supreme Court of Finland. So the case might still continue.
They might take off-site backups a bit more seriously if it is made illegal to pay the ransom.

I don't think it will have any effect on privacy. The hackers say they will delete the data, but how can you trust them?
Adding a bit to this the contents of the message are E2E encrypted but the metadata is probably still available (sender, receiver, timestamp, etc). FB probably already has the phone numbers of most of users in WhatsApp and can use the metadata to make inferred decisions about those users.

Smaller code reviews more often.

You can still do a code review using an incremental workflow. Do a pull request and wait someone for review and merge. The idea is to do them often on small incremental changes. It is much faster to review a small code change.

Recently a user submitted, 'Make me breathe properly'[1] after watching James Nestor's talk to my problem validation platform. I assumed, upcoming Apple Watch(then) would be able to measure breathing rate (i.e. Number of breaths/minute) with pulse oximeter and EKG (Apple has a patent for this) which should solve this problem as Apple watch already had a breathe app.

Needless to say, Apple Watch Series 6 doesn't seem to have this feature and I assume that the accuracy was an issue as off the shelf pulse-oximeters which claim to measure both SpO2 and breath rate do a bad job at the latter.

Haha... More than I had expected. We've hit two confirmed + one possible bug in LLVM and one bug in the PTX assembler. LLVM's PTX backend isn't fully mature yet, and I think the kind of PTX we're generating is very different from what people traditionally do with CUDA, so we are exposing quite a few edge cases in compilers that haven't been dealt with.
Ok. I was just talking about strategy/significance: the Roadster opened up EVs for "car guys" and the luxury market. This low-volume hummer could open up EVs for the "military machismo" market, or whatever you want to call it. That could have a big impact, even if it's late.

> I have a very hard time getting behind these complex configuration languages. To me what makes a configuration format good is the simplicity of reading the configuration of a program, and almost all of these languages are optimizing for feature complexity over readability. I think that all of the popular config formats (yaml, json, toml, etc) have issues, but none of the major issues with them have to do with being unable to represent a fibonacci sequence in their language.

Static languages like JSON and YAML are fine for toy configurations, but they don't scale to the most basic real-world configuration tasks. Consider any reasonably sized Kubernetes project that someone wants to make available for others to install in their cluster's. The project probably has thousands of lines of complex configuration but much of it will change subtly from one installation to another. Rather than distributing a copy of the configs and detailed instructions on how to manually configure the configuration for each use case, it becomes very naturally expedient to parameterize the configuration.

The most flat-footed solution involves text-based templates (a la jinja, mustache, etc) which is pretty much what Helm has done for a long time. But text-based templates are tremendously cumbersome (you have to make sure your templates always render syntactically correct and ideally also human readable, which is difficult because YAML is whitespace-sensitive and text templates aren't designed to make it easy to control whitespace).

A similarly naive solution is to simply encode a programming language into the YAML. Certain YAML forms encode references (e.g., `{"Ref": "<identifier>"}` is equivalent to dereferencing a variable in source code). Another program evaluates this implicit language at runtime. This is the CloudFormation approach, and it also gives you some crude reuse while leaving much to be desired.

After stumbling through a few of these silly permutations, it becomes evident that this reuse problem isn't different than the reuse problems that standard programming languages solve for; however, what is different is that we don't want our configuration to have access to system APIs including I/O and we may also want to prevent against non-halting programs (which is to say that we may not want our language to be turing complete). An expression-based configuration language becomes a natural fit.

After using an expression-based configuration language, you realize that it's pretty difficult to make sure that your JSON/YAML output has the right "shape" such that it will be accepted by Kubernetes or CloudFormation or whatever your target is, so you realize the need for static type annotations and a type checker.

Note that at no point are we trying to implement the fibonacci sequence, and in fact we prefer not to be able to implement it at all because we expressly prefer a language that is guaranteed to halt (though this isn't a requirement for all use cases, I believe it does satisfy the range of use-cases that we're discussing, and the principle of least power suggests that we should prefer it to turing-complete solutions).
This is assuming that the torturers are dumb (not true in the case of nation states) and that the information is not verifiable. This is not always the case. And the argument is that torture can and does work not that it always works. In the context of a password that I know you know and we can type in right now to make it stop, this will be effective.If you don't think the torture will ever stop and just want a 'fuck you' then you may keep quite. When your kids/family are brought in the 'fuck you' mentality goes out the window. Torture works, but it's like war. You have to go all in. This isn't a pro torture argument necessarily. But saying torture never works is dishonest and tanamount to saying I would keep all my secrets while being tutored to death, which I know I wouldn't.

The Story Behind Markdown
The argument in the article is that the taxation at it stands, with capital taxes for AI, disadvantages human labor.

"Income and employment taxes are the largest sources of revenue for the government, together accounting for almost 90% of total federal tax revenue. Not only does AI not pay income taxes or generate employment taxes, it does not purchase goods and services, so it is not charged sales taxes, and it does not purchase or own property, so it does not pay property taxes. AI is simply not a taxpayer. If all work were to be automated tomorrow, most of the tax base would immediately disappear.

When businesses automate, the government loses revenue, potentially hundreds of billions of dollars in the aggregate. This may significantly constrain the government’s ability to pay for things like Social Security, national defense, and health care. If people eventually get comparable jobs, then the revenue loss is only temporary. But if job losses are permanent, the entire tax structure must change.

...
The advantage of tax neutrality between people and AI is that it permits the marketplace to adjust without tax distortions. Businesses should then automate only if it will be more efficient or productive. Since the current tax system favors automation, a move toward a neutral tax system would increase the appeal of workers. Should the pessimistic prediction of a future with substantially increased unemployment due to automation prove correct, the revenue from neutral taxation could then be used to provide improved education and training for workers, and even to support social benefit programs such as basic income.

Once policymakers agree that they do not want to advantage AI over human workers, they could reduce taxes on people or reduce tax benefits given to AI. For instance, payroll taxes (which are charged to businesses on their workers’ salaries) should perhaps be eliminated, which would promote neutrality, reduce tax complexity, and end taxation of something of social value—human labor."
