Is this really true? I know that, at least here in Denmark, the relevant authority has sent out a note saying, explicitly, that dying of eg. a heart attack, while infected with COVID-19, does not count as a COVID-19 death. It also explicitly says the same thing about motor-cycle accidents, which I know has been a rumor that has made the rounds.

> It seems almost impossible that the vaccines pose a greater risk than the risk of not using them.

How about to a baby, or an unborn baby? The relative risk is almost certainly higher to a baby, but how high? We don't know, since there haven't been any longitudinal studies (for starters.) Which is why it would be unethical outside a clinical trial to administer it to younger people en masse.

Eventually the relative risk will be quantifiable, but it will take years. It took ~4 years for the increased risk of narcolepsy in children due to the H1N1 vaccine (Pandemrix) to be reported, for example.
They weren't mounted, they were kept in a nearby bunker. The charges were standardized round flat 50kg lumps, called cheese charges because they looked like a wheel of cheese. The roads and bridges had prepared openings looking like a normal gutter (round in germany) into which the cheese charges fit perfectly. The top plate could often be recognized because there was a single number stamped in, telling you how many cheese charges to load. What was always present however was the initiator charge and the wiring to the nearby bunker.

There were even more interesting things like the new Elbtunnel in Hamburg having massive blocks of concrete above all entrances. The girders holding those blocks were intended to be cut by explosive charges drop the blocks, blocking the tunnel.

> The target [resolver] sees only the [DNS] query and the proxy’s IP address. The proxy has no visibility into the DNS messages, with no ability to identify, read, or modify either the query being sent by the client or the answer being returned by the target. Only the intended target [resolver] can read the content of the [DNS] query and produce a [DNS] response.

> The whole process begins with clients that encrypt their query for the target using HPKE. Clients obtain the target’s public key via DNS, where it is bundled into a [SVCB/HTTPS] HTTPS resource record and protected by DNSSEC.

> Clients transmit these encrypted queries to a proxy over an HTTPS connection. Upon receipt, the proxy forwards the query to the designated target. The target then decrypts the query, produces a response by sending the query to a recursive resolver such as 1.1.1.1, and then encrypts the response to the client. The encrypted query from the client contains encapsulated keying material from which targets derive the response encryption symmetric key.

It’s not about the number of officers being shot per se. I’m not trying to defend the US police. But I think it’s about the danger of the encounter. In my country, police don’t encounter suspects who are a) under the drug influence, b) very likely to be carrying a weapon and c) very likely to use that weapon. So here they are trained accordingly and police don’t shoot at suspects. In the US, it’s very different. My friend was once robbed by armed criminals in Los Angeles, which would be unthinkable where I live. So I guess the police in the US is trained to respond to such encounters because they have to. And the downward trend might be due various reasons, including aforementioned training that prevents police officer from being shot in the first place. It’s all just my guess, of course.
3.7V/50mAh in 1cm^2(1/2.54 insq or half a dime) is between an LR/SR41(1.5V/25mAh) to LR44(120mAh).

Sounds handy for rechargeable smart rings, eyewears, pens, cards, clothes, where volume and surface areas are enough, but rigidity is questionable, and cannot accommodate round/thick coin cells.

If you want to defeat the Swiss, and keep in mind what kind of enemy would want to do that, just start carpet bombing where the actual people live.

That and they only have about 25 aircraft that could realistically do any good air defense work.

The idea that the US would struggle against Switzerland is predicated on them not doing that, because they would've had to found a reason to invade in the first place.
> his applies to everything from building bridges (University of Miami), through software products (Mars Climate Orbiter) to designing new medicines (thalidomide / paroxetine).

It probably says something that neither of the ‘new medicines’ you cite (neither of which are or were vaccines) are >30 years old. Thalidomide was banned before most people on here were born.

There’s reason for scepticism in all things - but scepticism for its own sake, and without any evidence other than association is probably less than helpful.
Huh; for some reason, my brain always tells me that he didn't get fired till 1989. Not sure why; maybe it's because it wasn't until a few years after that that the product lines started to metastasize in a way that only a corporate suit could love (Quadra, Performa, LC, etc).

Anyway, thanks for the reminder that the period without Steve Jobs was less brief than I tend to think.
I think other than proximity to Asia, Austin has all of this and fewer of the problems. I would not be surprised if there is a significant shif in the coming years.
Generalized category labelling is not helpful though it may be enjoyable. We can ignore stalwarts of either extreme camp while taking note of, for instance, the measured tone of the Danish study on mask wearing.
Can you even understood what I said. I have more needs than "lack of job, nutricion, housing, clothing, health coverage". If I have have 10 million dollar, I wouldn't reject earning another 10 million dollar. I am answering the poster whos said "need" is defined as that for which I think minimum wage could do. My need is dynamic in that case.
Sure, and Mayday is the original name. I was simply trying to be helpful to others who might have trouble finding it.

There's another Googler who needs to be fired. Anyone who uses phrases like "minoritized" (that's not a word) or "the silenced ones" is quite clearly fighting the culture war and not even slightly interested in the norms of management. What kind of a manager "stands by" someone who is as completely poisonous as this woman is? What kind of "generosity" did she show to her colleagues when she demanded their identities and called them racist on Twitter?

Google needs a massive clear-out. People aren't doing their jobs anymore there, they've become so obsessed with fictional narratives about non-existent racism and sexism.
Certified crimping tools can cost more than this phone. I don't think you can draw any conclusions based on this data point. The price is that high because they will be made to order. They never expected more than a hundred orders in the first place.
What was the better option? Should small OSS projects have lived without CI for the last few years? Or should everyone who publishes an OSS project set up and maintain a self-hosted CI service for it? Either option would be a massive drag on OSS development.

It doesn't actually matter much for this if you use an OSS CI service like Gitlab: the hosted service is still dependent on the generosity/marketing of the company hosting it, and switching to self-hosting is much more effort than porting config from one CI service to another.
Blizzard games deal well with this — on my iMac 5k, the UI is rendered at full 5k resolution, while the game world is rendered at 1440p. 1440p on a 27” display is perfectly fine (it’s what I play on on my PC now) but the UI at 5k does make a significant difference in text legibility.

This is an interesting topic for me because I hold a handful of domain names (10-20) that I'm not using and have often had this internal debate.

I have them because they're ideal names for a few side projects I've been considering building now or in the future, and I hold on to them because I want to make sure I have them if inspiration hits for any of the given projects.

I'm sure many of you own some "aspirational" domain names like this, and while I realize it's a much different scale, why is it functionally different than the OP? Is there a reasonable quantity of unused domain names for an individual to own before it becomes unethical?

I wouldn't want to hold a domain from someone else who wanted it in good faith and was going to use it (like I hope to, eventually), but if I want a good domain name for a product I'm building in the future, I have to play the game a bit ahead of time.
Neat! I like that it maintains everything in the same file. No need to mess with .gitignore

Have you tried BlackBox?

Projects like https://github.com/StackExchange/blackbox have the benefit of using GPG group encryption. Each person has their own secret key but any one key can decrypt the file. This makes key rotation easier.
I don't think private parties will have any access to vaccine for a while.

I think there's a big difference between selling data for profit and the government literally forcing you to give up data based on national security laws or else forcing you to close your business. There's almost nothing Apple can do about the latter case (or any other company for that matter).
I play various games where they developers try hard to prevent cheaters and they still get through and ruin a small but significant percentage of the games. I can't imagine how crappy an experience it would be if there was no cheat protection at all.
I did the same thing. It ended up being used mostly for watching streaming services instead of gaming for social reasons (the TV is in a shared area). I ended up buying an even bigger more powerful gaming PC with dedicated gaming keyboard and mouse and no controller. Linux for work, Windows for streaming TV, Windows for gaming.

Yes, I understand that. But I don't understand what ODoH does better than a run of the mill SOCKS proxy, such as Tor.
Assuming linear scaling (which is not a good assumption), Apple would need 6x the number of GPU cores in the current M1 to get in the range of performance of the Radeon Vega II Duo.
> In contrast, 44 police officers were shot and killed in 2019 in the US.

Police in turn, killed about 999 people. At least about half of the victims were armed with guns* and it stands to reason that a peaceful and unarmed police would have seen even higher causalities.

There are sanctions but I think it doesn't practically work because the government is responsible for punishing his people.

I think we need private police, subject to the same law as anyone else, and third party arbitration in private courts when something happens.
Uh... This is false. Do you mean as a percentage of income?

Didn't the FCC give AT&T to lay Fiber, that they never did, and customers would be paying for?

That leads to the same problem that killed Netbooks, besides the XP price dumping, and also plagues the PC and Android eco-systems, differentiation.

Mainline GNU/Linux isn't something that makes average consumer pick vendor A or B when looking for a new device at the shopping mall.

And the hardware alone also doesn't sell, it must be the whole vertical experience on how software + hardware work together to bring that experience into existence.
> Not that it would necessarily turn out that way now.

I doubt it would, and that is a good thing. The whole “women and children” thing was part of the whole “women are weak creatures that need to be looked after and protected like children” mentality.
DNSCrypt needs meaningful industry support otherwise it's sadly irrelevant. I think by now we can all agree "industry support" basically means the 3 browser vendors. DoH has at least Mozilla and Google on board, and presumably Microsoft are tailing along.
Hmmm, well, so if we're talking purely about indentation wrt control structures, I can see the point, maybe. But if we're talking about the ability to eyeball what's going on, I'm not sure...

In Clojure if you see a macro (will be highlighted as a different color) followed by something in square brackets you'll know what's up. The little extra syntax Clojure introduced is quite a big game changer to readability vs other lisps.

The problem is we can introduce new macros that may behave differently. You don't have that problem in languages without macros. But if you did have macros, brackets and indentation would lose signal too. Conversely if we didn't have user macros in Clojure the standard convention would be a 100% reliable signal too.

I mean, I agree in general that people may find C-like languages more readable, but these examples seem rather poor.

I can see why some people would find this more readable

if (a || (b && (c + 10 == 11))) {
doSomething();
}

than this (though I still believe this is mostly a cultural difference)

(if (or a (and b (= (+ c 10) 11)))
(do-something))

But this is about extra syntax not indentation. You can indent both in many different ways.

If anything, given the extra syntax, the js snippet has more possible indentations in this case.
That would actually be a really useful article - most of us have been in that boat at some point in our careers.
Can we all at least agree that if the language could express non-nullable pointers, we'd all be better off? (Something like `Option<T>` in Rust, or Swift's `?` sugar for their `Optional`, etc etc)

Then the type of the function would just declare a that the pointer can't be null, and code which sends a nullable pointer would refuse to compile.
Exactly. I almost always use TS instead of JS, for example, which flags gotcha scenarios (which I usually rewrite to avoid) and inserts semicolons for me in the final code. It’s just noise in my source.
Are people with dark personality traits more likely to succeed?
I know of no laws that would prevent clearing a house they way they did.

If you have a mother acting illogically and emotionally, then I would say that is what would cause the harm. Kids will respond the way they think they are supposed to respond based on the response of others. If the mother remains calm and tells them everything was fine and normal, then there should be no harm.
Tor is not a run of the mill SOCKS proxy, not least in that it inserts arbitrarily high latency into the user data path. On the other hand, an actual run of the mill SOCKS proxy would have visibility of the user's queries and their identity, defeating the purpose of the design.
Thailand has done an even better job, with just under 4,200 infections total since January. It has land borders with four other countries, the most porous of which is Myanmar. Very recently there have been some cases of infected people crossing over illegally from the latter; health authorities have been doing very thorough contact tracing so it remains to be seen if this will escalate. But last week was the first time in months there was more than a handful of cases nationwide, excluding foreign travelers in quarantine.

Why has it worked so well here? I don't know the full answer, but by and large people have been very responsible. The last time I was at an airport, back in early February, every single person was wearing a mask, and in lots of public places the majority of people continue to do so. Mask wearing has not been politicised here. Also every shopping mall and most restaurants/public places scan you for temperature on entry and have a book where you can (optionally) write down your name or register with an app to be notified if it is later discovered an infected person has been there the same day you were.

"There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things."

Seriously don't build a cache until you have exhausted all other performance improving avenues. I am not against caches but throwing a new cache in the code every time a performance issue is found or worse preemptively making a cache due to a possible performance issue is an endless source of cache invalidation bugs.

This is exactly why Librem 5 is more promising as Purism develop both hardware and software.
The vaccines have undergone significant testing, and they're not doing anything magical.

"Significant testing" is 20,000 people. We're preparing to roll it out to billions. That's not "significant testing". If there was a 1 in 500,000 side effect, you'd never see it in the trials.

And yes, these vaccines are doing something "magical". We've never had an mRNA vaccine rolled out to the general public before.

That said, I think the risk is manageable. The FDA and EMA will be monitoring closely for side effects and is prepare to adjust as necessary.

But don't underestimate the risks.

Even though you can nuke (allmost) anything, fortified bunkers are still (the most) effective fortification.

There is lots of massive stone protecting them after all, you have to blast through. Which can be done, but is still a massive effort.

Unless you really know (and guard) all the exits and control the surface, how could modern tech render them useless?

For primitive caves(targeting Taliban), I believe there was a weapon developed where shockwave (and gas?) would kill anyone inside, but if you have multiple blast doors and air filtration inside, you still have to cut or blast your way inside.

And fighting in an enemy underground network is not something any soldier would look forward to.

So I guess the modern way to take the swiss bunkers out, would be

a) really scout them out

b) target critical infrastructure (bunker breaking bombs)

c) destroy all the exits

or

d) infiltration with commando troops

or

e) blow up the whole mountain
If you see a submission you think is inappropriate, hit "flag" next to the time stamp. If enough users do so it will be marked flagged. I think moderators can restore it manually at that point. You can also vouch for submissions you think were wrongly flagged.
Disagree. People get flu vaccinations every year. Often the expectation is that efficacy will be unreliable year to year due to strain expectation versus reality. Anecdotally I've heard a lot of people resist it because of this: "sometimes they don't even work!"

Eliminating the ambiguity means you can (in theory) be guaranteed to avoid the flu for some immunity period. That's very, very compelling, covid or not.
Leaving treasure on public lands is allowed, otherwise geocaching would be illegal. Maybe not in a national park, but certainly in a national forest or multiuse area.

It's absolutely is either an outright scam or just crafty marketing off the back of this.

The comment says 'vaccines that aren't available in India' of which I'm sure there may well be plenty, just not necessarily the COVID one.
Almost all games use their own VFS layer which heavily lean toward "few huge files with a lookup table" to work around NTFS' deficiencies. They used to be often chunked into 2 GB files, but since a few years developers stopped doing that. Some games even ship all their assets in a single file.
I hope you understand when I say that your reply still does not contain anything concrete. Nor for the most part do the articles you posted.

I put some significant time trying to understand exactly what you’re going for and it seems like you’re trying to help people shift their high-level thinking, but it’s a lot of words and almost nothing to get my hands on. As someone who needs to try and work with things in order to properly understand them, this material just does not give me any “meat”.
I thought it was going to be about cutting ties with a political party.
> I'd say the biggest advantage of a standard linked list is that it can be intrusive.

That's one big benefit. I teach operating systems and, when the semester has been good, we dig into physical memory dumps with a few python scripts, and show the students how to parse Windows process list following _EPROCESS structures.

That's one of the big things they find themselves surprised every year: that the process list is a chain of LIST_ENTRY structures embedded within the _EPROCESSes[0] (or any other structure that is doubly-linked in memory). And LIST_ENTRY is just 2 pointers going hand in hand with list_entry->flink and list_entry->blink attributes and nothing more.

[0] You can read some about this structures here https://www.nirsoft.net/kernel_struct/vista/index.html but beware this is based on Vista and a bit old. Kernel data structures vary with versions of the OS (and not even major versions at that) and target processor (x86, x86-64, ARM too would be reasonable).
> the evidence points to repeatedly creating a dangerous situation (by them)

What evidence is that? Have you gathered the data, performed a statistically significant analysis or can you point to one?

Or perhaps you are inferring your conclusions from media anecdotes and select those cases that best fit your world view?
There is more to latency than just the ping to the server.

The raw controller input latency / controller polling rate.

The time it takes for your packet to get to the server.

The number of packets per second you're sending to the serve (e.g. 100pps).

The server processing time per frame.

The server frame rate.

The time it takes for the packet to get back.

The frame rate of the client machine.

Whether Vsync is enabled (more latency).

The time it takes to transfer a frame of rgb data to the monitor.

The monitor frame rate and processing time per frame.

The pixel response time of the pixels on the monitor.

If we're doing cloud gaming. we also need to add latency stages for encoding and decoding video and how long it takes to download each frame of video.

By simulating everything client side you remove a ton of stages in this latency pipeline.
Stop talking sense.
Is this not just cynical marketing?

Sure, there are likely to be plenty of vaccines one could get in the UK/US that aren't available easily in India or elsewhere. But you/they didn't say anything about the COVID one...
