> How can we vote or make decisions on trends if everyone is only reacting to major events?

I've seen a lot of people who decided years ago that they were never voting for Trump spend the last 5 years obsessing daily over every news article about him. None that news is going to change the way they vote. And usually they don't even remember most of the local politicians who are on their ballot. The claim that this is to be an informed voter is usually a justification for a fairly unhealthy addiction.
But the weird thing here is that Source is based on GoldSrc which was based on Quake; apparently, instead of learning from years of experience and building a brand new engine without the baggage, they decided to just keep building on top of the old stuff?

I mean to a point I get it, but if some code is unmaintainable, you don't keep trying to fix it, you have to decide to replace it.

Valve has no excuse, they make crazy amounts of money, they can fund the development of a new engine from scratch easily. They just choose not to.
Every time I see an exposure like this I'm reminded of a couple things...

1. Security everywhere is an after thought. How many people have performed a threat analysis of the app they're working on? How many have management who will slow down velocity on features to put the time in to securing personal information?

When the culture isn't there the training isn't there either.

2. I don't know if it's the case here but, in the move to move more work on to app developers (ops, etc) there is only so much they can learn while still delivering on the things. How much of the reality of overloading app developers adds to this?

Honestly I think I'm charging this band once a month. Which doesn't seem like such a hassle. Indeed, my Casio still runs with the original battery but it also has almost no features and was 3x as expensive than this band.
how about compared to the covid risk of a perfectly healthy young adult?
We're aiming at the same thing, I just quantify convenience by the amount of time saved per action.

For example, leaving my home is about 20 seconds faster (no need to turn everything off manually and reach the switch to turn the lights on/off in the hallway when putting on shoes).
and I’d suggest delete “on two non-negative integers” which is irrelevant for bitwise operations.

> There's nothing in Terraform that couldn't just be YAML with some semantics (like Ansible which I find much more approachable)

One secret of Terraform is that you can define resources with JSON instead of HCL (https://www.terraform.io/docs/configuration/syntax-json.html). The catch is that all the interpolation and iteration stuff is implemented in HCL, so if you use JSON, you probably want something else to do that. But, eg, Jsonnet works beautifully for that kind of thing: https://github.com/google/jsonnet/blob/master/examples/terra...
From my reading of available publications by the airforce on maven, the calculus was actually that they had a fixed threshold for risk, and being able to analyze more data would allow them to act in more cases with that same risk level. To probably oversimplify, if they were ok with 25% innocent causalities, increasing efficiency 100x would just let them kill 100x more often at the same ratio. Disclosure: ex-google
Today. Just 1 year ago the next pandemic was vaporware. In hindsight we know that covid happened, but there was no more reason to think it would have than any other unlikely event.
Hence why game engines are now their whole own business, and before that time, people used to just start fresh with every game, maybe having a drawer of useful snippets. Crunch time is fundamentally incompatible with the discipline needed to not end up in this place.
Google allows third-party app stores and most of the source code for Android is out there in the open. I don't know how Google "practically owns" your device considering Apple asserts a much more complete control over your device.
If Apple changed on this the press and customer sentiment would be terrible. Oh so terrible. I'm sure they are aware of that.

Word of mouth is the best form of advertising. If you're most vocal work of mouth folks turn than this would be bad for sales.
> someone is subsidizing Pfizer's expenses through Pfizer's revenue stream

Companies taking a portion of what they earn from their existing products and investing this money to create new products is beneficial, and we should have more of it.

Additionally, while this is probably not the case for Pfizer, another possibility is that a company can take outside investment to fund development of a new product.
The article says adenovirus vaccines have been "researched and used extensively for decades."
It would be interesting how vegeterians compare to vegans and meat / fish eaters.
To be even remotely safe from this, you need to use a kernel driver, which is invasive and widely seen as unacceptable - at the moment anyhow.

See Riot and Valorant from earlier this year. There was a lot of outcry and the response from the devs was basically "we don't give a damn".

Other games, for example, scan window titles or signature for a variety of debuggers/hacking tools like IDA and x64dbg. There's many techniques and variations you can apply to make things like this more "annoying" - but never impossible.

Earlier this year, there was a PCI card PoC that would read memory and act as an "undetectable" wallhack - people are clearly crafty enough to always find their way around.
Nice post. Really interesting to read!

Hi. Thanks for link.

I whole heartedly support repeated radical cashectomies targeting the windfall profits of the data pirates.

However...

The structure of Canada's carbon dividend serves to disincentivize an undesired behavior. It's a no brainer win/win policy.

I cannot see how California's data dividend does the same for our privacy. That (negative) feedback loop is missing.

It's an interesting strategy. But I think it needs more work.

> less than twenty thousand of them develop narcolepsy. As a reminder a quarter million of them already died from COVID-19 and more are dying every day

I assume the concern is that an unknown unknown means it could cause/trigger/amplify some other disease/condition that may be comparable/worse than the problem it solves.

Cause/effect and morals are hard. Add to the mix a general statistical innumeracy, and some general suspicion about authorities, and it makes it really hard for the general populace to actually weigh the two different options.

I don't think we should dismiss these concerns as just stuff for nutjobs. I've seen otherwise reasonable people having trouble making up their minds about that.

Re: SLS. Hadn't heard of it, but clothing detergents can irritate my skin. Obviously, it may be SLS.

I'm rural, and so have my own well. One side effect is that depending on rainfall, and other factors, the hardness of my water changes.

Quite literally, I sometimes need to use 3x the detergent. Further, it is not entirely clear when to use 3x the detergent. I don't have time to do one of these every wash (other kits aren't suitable for my water):

https://ca.hach.com/total-hardness-test-kit-model-5-b/produc...

Anyhey, so I always just add vinegar after the wash, and do a second rinse. As this fixed most of my issues, I used to get rashes, and now I do not, it may be that vinegar is additionally effective at removing SLS.

Just a FYI, although I have zero idea if valid. Just that "irritation goes away" for me.

Edit for clarity:

I tend to add a full cup of vinegar, and sometimes more. The vinegar tends to rinse out very well.
I launched Google for Twitter threads: ThreadOk
I find it disheartening how many people speculate about possible long term side effects of exposure to Covid, even in asymptomatic cases. Yet those same people seemingly have no reservations about injecting a brand new drug into their veins.
People who don’t use Macs keep saying it is completely locked down but that has never been my experience. Windows feels far more locked down to me. It is much easier to use Unix software on Mac than on Windows. File formats tend to be easy to read. On Windows there tends to be a lot more binary formats aimed at keeping the competition out.

Mac software is usually easy to install. In PC there is all sorts of authentication and verification. Digging up a long license key for the OS is not a thing on Mac.
I think they missed the boat with EUV and tried using existing tech to reach 10/7nm

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/tsmc-euv-tools-order

TSMC is making massive orders and seems to already be using that.

Intel hasn't even started - "Intel is also expected to start deploying EUVL systems sometimes in 2022 when it starts making chips using its 7 nm node."
I don't think anyone will need to worry about Google. As soon as they realize its actually hard, and as soon as they hit the slightest roadblock, they'll give up, like they literally do on every fucking product that isn't a huge instant hit that everyone fawns over.
It's not caught by VAC. I changed the glow colour (which probably changed the signature), tested it a few months ago on local server and then played some Valve deathmatch on official servers, account is still good. I'd expect the game to at least throw me out of the server if I tamper with what objects should light up, but nope.
Up to six months.
(afaict) You're right about the 39 (risk reduction = 1-39/131 ~= 70%).

But you're less correct about saying "smple size is probably too small" (in general, people really really really need to stop dismissing things based on sample sizes until they actually go through a Power calculation!). Your question about demographic breakdown is entirely valid.

Hospitalization rate for covid is about 228.7 hospitalizations per 100,000 population [0]. Or, more easily interpretted, about 10-20% of cases turning to hospitalization.
Taking the more conservative (10%) rate, we'd need 31 samples for a 95% CI and 5% margin of error. Thus, the interpetation is that is it unlikely that the _lack of seeing any hospitalizations in the vaccine+covid-positive group is by chance_.

Hope that helps!

We're not talking about the philosophical elements of politics for the most part. There are plenty of parts of government policy where there is an objective truth and one side (or even both on occasion) are trying to manipulate the narrative away from that.

To use a non-US example: Boris Johnson claiming that he is going to deliver 50000 more nurses in the NHS. Except that figure includes some 19k nurses who are already employed in the NHS.

Back to Trump: Great, but we also won the election!
Not disagreeing with you regarding dogs, you could have been describing mine. But I also find that when they really want something, they are more cunning and improvising. More than once have I got the feeling he just waits for me to leave so he can start with whatever shenanigans he's up to.
Andrea Bizzotto and Code with Andrea: His Story
That was some Fake news using worthless benchmarks. It's not even near 1050 Ti in the real world, check any game, M1 gets destroyed by that 4 year old 1050 Ti GPU. For example, Shadow of the Tomb Raider 45 fps 1080p medium vs 26 fps on M1.

You might say it's because of Rosetta (not that it makes any difference because probably most games will never be ported anyway, so Rosetta is all you get when talking about current games), but there's another game which has Apple Sillicon support - World of Warcraft. That one measures high 30s to mid 40s fps on ultra 1080p vs 58.1 avg fps on 1050 Ti. Comparisons are from userbenchmark.com regarding 1050 Ti and youtuber tests regarding M1.

So all those claims "30 % better" were just a manipulative scam using benchmarks nobody cares about.
Yeah, this is what is jumping out at me. Not that the M1 isnt extremely impressive but a near future 5nm AMD will be a better "apples to apples" comparison. Intel is being left in the dust though.
There is a video like that for every game ever made.
Surprise, surprise - Apple wants to control the end-to-end computing experience on their Macs the way they do on their iDevices thus allowing them to differentiate themselves in a commodity market. Why wouldn't they do that?

I don't think it's only cuz of lack of discipline

I think sometimes in project this complex you (nor anyone) have no idea where some code SHOULD be and inserting it in "wrong" place causes weird things later
Lest readers assume this is typical, where I live at present (middle of the US) testing is efficient. Our kids' school runs their own rapid tests also. You can in addition buy saliva PCR tests from many vendors including Costco. These take 3 days max from purchase to result.
Mark's earlier post [1] which covered divisibility much more extensively mentioned a division algorithm that I've never learned: short division.

One other neat trick that I like is that calculating the N modulus after multiplying a series of numbers together can be done by applying the modulus to a running accumulator after each term in the series is multiplied. So if you have a series that will definitely overflow an IEEE float, you can keep the operation in bounds without using a BigNumber structure.

I.e. (a * b * c) % N = (((a * b) % N) * c) % N
The original Sankey diagram from 1898 (now used in Google Analytics)
Like the internet. It'll never work.
A way to tackle this further is to use an analytics tool like CodeScene. You link it with your repo and it shows you what people have knowledge across which parts of code[0].

Then you can identify parts that share too few contributors and encourage people to work on them together. You might also find parts where the knowledge is already lost, since everyone who worked on it already left the company. In that case some team can volunteer to take ownership of the code and take time to make some sense of it.

Of course, easier said than done.

Most adverse events (narcolepsy and GBS included) occur within a few months (1-3) of administration. The fact that some are reported after years doesn't mean they are "long term": it only means it took a while to vaccinate those people.
So far none of the trials (even more so AZ) has incurred in vaccine-related adverse events of this sort.
You can reach everywhere in 5 days but that's not enough. People have to come and get it, there's also a chance there will be a slow start due to concerns over a new drug that the media may emphasize was "rushed". Then there's the logistics of scheduling so many people. If you don't bring yourself a cold storage freezer you're committing to using 100% of your doses within 5 days which may not be possible.
So much this. I want a display, a VGA in, a keyboard and something that is capable of running a terminal and a switch for VGA in and the built-in Raspberry/Odroid/whatever. I would pay anything up to $500-600.

Found nothing so far.

Edit: forgot RJ45.
The sort of polio vaccine used in rich countries is almost 100% effective after three doses. I did some spot checking of a bunch of vaccines I'd heard of and most seem to be between 90% and 99% effective so Covid-19 vaccines seem to be in line with expectations. The flu is worse but that's always a guessing game of which strain will be prevalent when they're making the vaccine. I think that's because more doses tend to be more effective and if a single dose doesn't get you there they just give you more doses, like the two doses for the mRNA covid vaccines. Effectiveness here is how many people get sick. You don't know in this circumstance that they're going to get sick until it happens, though maybe you could keep track of everybody's antibody levels compared to what they should be and guess. That would be way more expensive than just giving everybody the same schedule of doses though.
>Valve has no excuse, they make crazy amounts of money, they can fund the development of a new engine from scratch easily. They just choose not to.

It admittedly gets a bit more difficult when these hacks and quirks are part of what create the unique feel of your game engine. People have played CS at such high levels for so long that switching engine at all is likely going to introduce some difference in feeling, even if you think you've accounted for all the unique bugs and interactions. If you remade Quake 3 in a new engine, people are going to hate it. See Quake 4, for example.

Source 2 would still be a nice jump for CS:GO, but the team just doesn't have the resources at present to get this all done. Dota 2, being the style of game that it is, isn't as affected by a difference in feel as a first person twitch shooter.

One more thing, just like LEGO, Gundam, Tamiya, the unique unboxing experience will be as exciting as many assembled toys.

"Better" is a relative term, so others mistakes do make it better.

Pfizer is partnered with a German company
Not the OP, but what she/he is probably hinting at is that the majority of Western Governments (i.e. both the US and the EU) have poured trillions of dollars/euros into the market as the pandemic started, money that has helped the capital markets stay afloat (and even more than that).

Without those trillions of dollars/euros most probably the capital markets would have been down by at least 50% (my guesstimate, or at least that's where we were headed mid-March), which means that the money available to companies like Pfizer would have been a lot less.

As such, Pfizer saying that they didn't receive federal money is technically correct, but without federal money most probably their market value would have been a lot less right now.
