What does that mean? That it is more up to date than RHEL? How far behind Fedora is that?
The material dialectic derives from a wrong translation of Hegel. Hegel's focuses on very high levels of philosophy, abstraction taken to the highest degree. Choose an "-ism". Reality pushes against it, creating ideals. From the start, Marx is wrong. At his time, he had a very limited understanding of nature.

Wealth doesn't tend to concentrate. The business cycle turns novel scarcity, such as electricity, into commonplace utilities or even waste they pay you to take or find a way to reuse. Free markets exist today which require zero wealth to start, all skill and knowledge. Wealth tends to inflame character flaws and speed up individual demise or force people into charitable giving. The world's much too big for one special interest.

The needs of the proletariat will never become the same as the needs of the state. For that to happen, everyone will have to become poor, and wealth just leaves. The opposite occurs. The richest people are Xi, Maduro, Castro, Iranian Mullahs. The richest place in the world is Washington DC. Wealth is the interview. Power is the job. If you can't do it yourself, why do you get to tell everyone what to do?

We have advanced quite a lot since the moon landing:

The November Revolution in particle physics at Cornell

Voyager I & II

Bell's Theorem

Antiparticle applications

Mapping human genome

NIH Brain initiative

Parker Solar Probe

The Event Horizon global radio telescope array

Interferometry

Mining asteroids worth a hundred times the global GDP

I think this ends with pointing a telescope at a really empty region of space thinned out by cosmic inflation, and manipulating the thin boundary of a black hole to bring galaxies into existence from nothing, a true gravity application. If we can do that, we can put chemicals or matter waves into orbit, and do it to ourselves, have complete control over what's inside. We see a star. Everyone else sees a black hole.

They are differently powerful. Option types nest, while nullable types flatten. But nullable types subtype while option types do not.

Otherwise, I think your comment is an excellent summary of the differences.

I similarly stick to QtWidgets, but have to say they don’t seem to scale well in Windows. That’s likely a function of the underlining Windows components, but it’s undeniable, sadly. QtQuick / QML deals better with that scenario, but one ends up having to reinvent a bunch of things (ironically, considering the “quick”) that QtWidgets have had for years already.

That should work, but it will likely not be able to safely launch again even if you managed to refuel it.

The engine power needed to launch in Earth gravity, even with a small hop fuel load might be too much for engines so close to the ground & with thick atmosphere preventing the exhaust from dissipating.

Is CentOS the upstream for Oracle Linux? Instead of which comes CentOS Stream and then the question is what will Oracle do? Would they even try to keep the old CentOS concept alive?
Correct. The servers never see anybody's location.
Former mastering engineer here. Discussing audio gear in any open online forum is pretty hopeless. Any conversation will eventually be dominated by people who misunderstand (often willfully) the human perceptual mechanism and its propensity for illusion.

It's possible to talk about effects on the edge of perception: the protocols for the tests by which perceptual codecs are assessed and incrementally improved had to be designed somehow. But you basically cannot have such conversations unless every participant accepts their own fallibility and blind testing as the price of admission, which is only going to happen with a closed group.
They claim US data is not stored in China, though:

> The key personnel responsible for TikTok, including its CEO, Global Chief Security Officer, and General Counsel, are all Americans based in the United States—and therefore are not subject to Chinese law. U.S. content moderation is likewise led by a U.S.-based team and operates independently from China, and, as noted above, the TikTok application stores U.S. user data on servers located in the United States and Singapore.

So the US will still have your data (potentially).
Do I understand this correctly that if DoH is implemented, none of the firewalls will be able to block the web sites? Including the pi-hole firewalls, as an example. If that's the case, this situation can't stand for long. Does this meant that the DoH would need to be extended to allow firewalls to decrypt it?

If not, here is a PaloAlto Networks blog advertising capability to block all DoH traffic, presumably at work [0]. It looks like you might not be able to use DoH at work, the way it currently stands. I wonder what would be the right solution?

I have one question regarding the current data (it would be great if anyone with experience in statistics could help out):

The FDA document (p. 26, table 8) states that the vaccine efficacy (age group >=75) is 100.0% (95% confidence interval of -12.1 to 100.0).

What does this mean? With my limited university statistics class knowledge I would say they are 95% sure that the efficacy lies between -12.1% and 100.0% for age >=75.

Is this the correct interpretation? If yes, doesn’t it show that we simply do not know about its efficacy in this age group (due to lack of data)? If not, could you please explain it?

Thank you in advance!
Define "where someone is calling from". If the call is carried via VoIP, then all the phone company knows is who the VoIP provider is. The VoIP provider may know what account it is, but not who that is. Tracking it down to an actual human you can jail (or even sue) may not be easy.

If it stores data it's a database. Filesystems are databases, MongoDB is a database. LevelDB is a database. Postgres and MySQL are databases. Kafka is a database. They are all very different in features and functionality though.

What the authors mean is that kafka is not a traditional database and doesn't solve the same problems that traditional databases solve. Which is a useful distinction to make but is not the distinction they make.

The reality is that database is now a very general term and for many usecases you can choose to special purpose databases for what you need.

This is a compile error in Dart now. We added nullable types in order to make all other types not nullable. So unless you explicitly opt in to nullability by putting "?" on the type, you can a type that does not permit null.

Got it, yeah having a problem with Apple users who "see apple as a Hero/God company (blind trust)" is fair and valid.

(Your initial comment "that sounds like the apple cult" is after quoting a different portion of the parent comment that's talking about a different aspect of audiophile culture that doesn't have any obvious similarities to Apple users, hence the confusion.)
I think “two sets of AirPods Max” communicates clearly without tongue-twisting.

I actually compared my Sony MDR7506 with my Anker Soundcore Motion+ this morning and the Soundcore blew away the Sonys to my ear. Yes, the Soundcore is an unrepairable bluetooth speaker, but they both cost ~$80
Every comment I have seen is flabbergasted by the price but I think there is a lot more interesting about these headphones. For example, they're clearly being marketed as "premium" over-the-ear headphones but they get the Airpods branding and not Beats? What does that mean for Beats? A 20 hour battery life beats my Bose 700s so it will be interesting to see if that holds up. Perhaps more jarring is the high price tag for what amounts to a cloth cover for a case but I suppose they are making the claim that you don't need to power it off?
It’s not like the headlines are going to be “China says ...”. It’ll be reported via an anonymous source, or some credible person that they also control.

Do you also have these sound level bugs with your XM3, where you adjust down the volume before connecting and then the headphones adjust the volume back up to some level when connected? This has severly blasted my ears multiple times and I can't express how angry I get when that happens (its a miracle I didn't destroy them yet). Its just a shame they combine so good battery life, ANC and sound quality with such a bad software, to a point where I rather get mediocrity in all points than what sony is offering me. Since I got my AirPods Pro I rarely use the XM3s anymore so I will probably not directly jump for the Maxs but they will definitly be an option for me in the future

>Your "team play" ability only matters to the extent that you engage in peer-to-peer relationships

It doesn't "only matter" in relationships that are horizontal on the org chart. They're just not the totality of the non-peer relationships. Understanding and communicating boundaries between teaming and exercising authority is key to efficiently moving everyone toward a target.

To torture the sports team metaphor more, the captains on a team are players but also an authority among the players. To the front office, a coach is a member of the gameday team.

Yeah, I've sort of given up on the US government having some of my data. But I'd still rather it be in Chinese hands than US hands.

It is. That you've adjusted doesn't change the fact that it still is.
I agree in abstract, but in practice it's quite difficult to set up a successful democratic architecture board. You need teams or departments that all have architects, and an engineering organization where both managers and engineers accept a degree of centralized technical leadership. Getting there is, in my opinion, the work of years. It's especially challenging because spinning up such a board requires a person who can run it single-handedly.

In this particular company, the Chief Architect in theory had a group around him. They did nothing to check his poor decisions, and from the outside seemed primarily interested in living in the functional programming nirvana he promised them.

A problem I see as an outsider is that perpetual licenses where one pays when upgrading encourages companies to stay on the older version (which may have exploitable bugs) to avoid shelling out again. It has to be added to the budget when needed. Subscriptions don’t have that problem as the company can update without paying anything new and can keep the payments in the budget as a recurring expense.

Both sides have their benefits, so to say one is worse than the other seems not right. It’d be nice if there was an option on which model you chose (for example, $5k/seat for perpetual single version or $300/month/seat for subscription), but alas, that’s not available.

> And I do not. Software updates are a huge pain in the ass for almost no benefit to me

Ah, but there is a benefit that you just don’t see: bug and security fixes. Your boss isn’t going to be happy if your company is hacked because your IT department didn’t want to spend effort updating (assuming that’s in the budget).

This obviously ignores 0-days, but there’s not much a downstream user can do there.
>There's no way to get the information you desire without Big Brother level tracing.

As I responded to the sibling comment, I don't think that is accurate. Of course many, if not most cases can not be traced, many certainly can be. Some people know exactly where they got covid, and who they exposed, and where.

The US has 50,000 full time contact tracers working to collect this information. Surely there is some data by now?

>Your questions are unanswerable.

IF the question is categorically unanswerable (which I don't believe), contact tracing programs should be disbanded.

After reading through the linked thread I'm taken aback by the sheer number of deaths that don't seem to get any kind of coverage in the national press (and that's only for people accidentally shot as the police were trying to kill their pet).

Considering the sheer number of killings, this can and really should be reported in much a similar way to a protracted war, as it does look very much to be an extended attack upon civilians by an armed forces of sorts.
China isn't capitalist at all. Even things like buying land are typically timed leases owned by the government, and you see behavior like the Jack Ma incident where he made a perceived insult to the central bank and was "punished". Tied into labor programs and social credit, you see patterns that wouldn't ever fly in capitalism.

Communism doesn't mean everyone gets free groceries and doesn't have to work. The CCP, for all of their faults, seriously puts a lot of time and thought into the elements of communism and how the Chinese communism compares and evolves on it as a longterm form of government. Just because someone on the internet mistakes utopianism for communism doesn't mean Mao's party isn't communist.
