> Jane Fonda, 83
Actor and activist

> The Academy Award–winning actress and fitness guru has been a serious and effective activist since 1970

> Pat Buchanan, 82
Political commentator

> It was easy to take Pat Buchanan for a loser—the Nixon lackey, the serially failed presidential candidate, the blowhard whose “culture war” convention speech embarrassed George H.W. Bush, the cable TV commentator who gradually pushed himself to the margins with white nationalist and anti-Semitic remarks.

With a population of 330 million and an average life expectancy of about 80 years, we can expect that number to keep climbing. We'd average over 4 million deaths per year maintaining a stable population with the current life expectancy.

>I've been thinking about the whole "public vaccination" virtue signaling that politicians have been doing.

That's not virtue signaling, or not ONLY virtue signaling - they get priority due to continuity of government laws. See https://www.rollcall.com/2020/12/13/white-house-congress-jud...

Now if they had integrity, the ones that dismissed, downplayed, ignored, refused to wear masks, etc. should have skipped their dose and given it to someone else.

>immunized publicly as a politician at the same time as your risk group

That would be nice except Congress is fairly old, average age is 57.6 in the House and 62.9 in the Senate. Not sure there are enough available doses for this to occur.
I had exactly the same feeling. The daily recommendations contain 80% from albums I've either already downloaded or liked (or auto-liked, which was also a very annoying thing I had for a while). The remaining 20% is recommendations of different songs of the same artists mostly.

With New releases it is different. If I ever play, say, a song someone else sent me to listen to in a different genre, then it screws up my recommendations here for months, sometimes forever.

You're referring to Clearwater? Yes, I agree, but the influence of Scientology to the large world is... just who gives a fuck about them any more?

Most of Europe sees them either as a business or as a cult (France) or as a threat to democracy (Germany, applicants to public service have to declare they're unaffiliated with the bunch). Worldwide, it's membership numbers are falling (https://www.ualberta.ca/folio/2018/01/once-thriving-church-o...).

Many popular front people have either died off or deserted Scientology.

One beauty of a smart phone is just before laying down to sleep, just ask your phone to set an alarm in eight hours, and put it well out of your reach. And don't get back into bed (or the couch) when you get up to cancel the alarm. Just get moving.

I have done this when I got caught up in a really good book and read until 4:00 AM. Generally, I wake up on my own, before the alarm goes off, but it is a safety valve.
i cannot wait to try this, but currently my wife is using Spotify to listen to the Lion King soundtrack with my 3-yr-old for the 50th time this week. The kid has for sure ruined the algorithm. But even before that happened, Spotify was bad when it came to discoverability. Reading the other comments here, it sounds like it hasn't improved.
Graphing and charting are quite different things. Charts are things like bar and pie visualisations. Graphs are networks of connections, like family trees or sequence diagrams.

If you want to visualise graphs, I have had good experiences using d3-graphviz, which can consume GraphViz DOT files - DOT is an excellent and well supported DSL for this job.

DOT lets you specify nodes and their edges quite concisely, apply positioning and ranking hints, and the d3 visualiser does a great job usually of laying out the nodes with minimal path crossover. You can then hook into the d3 selections to render however you please, generally in SVG.

A nice thing about having an SVG render is that it's very easy to attach events, and inline SVGs can be styled with CSS. So you could plot e.g. a network of CI tasks and set up a click to take you to a job summary, just like the CircleCI UI. Or visualise step functions, sagas or state machines in similar wise.

There is an actual WASM build of GraphViz compiled from C++ (you can find it on NPM) but the bundle is enormous - over a megabyte of data.

I suspect, however, that what you are really looking for is a charting library. In that case my suggestion is to purchase a license for HiCharts or another commercial product, rather than assemble something yourself through D3.
When an user becomes aware of the algorithm and purposely avoids clicking on videos that interest him slightly because it can radically change his suggestions for days or weeks,
it is a sign imho that the algorithm is not well designed.
I haven’t used it yet so I can’t comment on the full experience, but from screenshots I’ve seen it’s very mixed. The updated window/toolbar designs look fantastic to me, though the lower contrast between foreground/background windows is a disappointment. The dialog boxes do often look that bad, but some look much more like their pre-11 counterparts. The rounded corner main menus look super weird but I suspect that’s one that will feel normal after some use. Many of the icons look great (and better than their iOS counterparts), some look just awful.

That said, every large visual overhaul in macOS/OS X has been followed by several iterations of refinement, and I don’t doubt this one will too. I expect by 13 or so the design will be more mature. Lately I’ve tended to skip an OS upgrade and this one doesn’t offer me much to compel me to change that, so I’m looking forward to seeing what they refine in 12.
What I hate is, it's orders of magnitude more toxic for kids. Hyper-amplification of bad recommendations.

For sure, Youtube's (bad) impact on current generation children will be felt (in a bad way) for many upcoming generations to come. At this point, it's literally technology gone rogue.
I'm in Israel but originally from Russia and listen to some Russian music and Spotify somehow assume Polish would be just as good for me. Leave alone decent amount of German music due to Rammstein.

I also got some Scandinavian stuff too but it usually fits my taste at least.

I really wish Telegram would embrace open source, security audits, etc. It's one of, if not the, best UX chat message apps with so many features it's sort of mindblowing. I'd love to use them. But.. i avoid it, because something doesn't smell right.

Allowing me to pay would be yet another right direction for Telegram, but i just can't move past the audit (and to a lesser extent, FOSS)

The original comment said "who think if statements are racist." That was the comment that brought up race, as a strawman no less.

Radio altimeters are mainly used during landing. Presumably, you'd always be landing in friendly territory, so the threat of malicious interference would need to be very close to a base to be effective.

I wouldn't even charge for the privilege. As long as health care workers and nursing homes stay at the absolute head of the line, nothing else really matters until we hit herd immunity.

Publicize how desperate the rich are to get the vaccine and that 60% willingness to get vaccinated will go up (which is a large part of what the article said). I think charging money to skip, just causes a whole raft of other problems.

uBlock is what's keeping me from switching to Safari (which is so much nicer to use on a Mac)

It seems like most people who use Safari use full system-level ad blockers like Wipr. But I was also Googling around and found some complaints about Wipr, like it taking forever to be updated to block YouTube ads when they switch how they're displayed, or not being as good at getting around ad-block detection on certain sites.

On the topic of silent PCs, I've been very happy with the HD-plex.com H1 chassis. It's about $200 and you have to stick under 65W. It's basically a big heatsink. They have bigger ones as well that can handle GPUs, haven't tested those.

Ever since SDDs became available for consumers I wanted a PC without any moving parts or fans. I've had it for over two years now and having a dead silent PC has been just as great as I had imagined.
For many types of flight, planes are robust against radio altimeter failure. The RA is really only used as a non-essential part of instrument approaches (e.g. landing in heavy fog, as opposed to a visual approach where a pilot can see the terrain) and as part of the ground proximity warning system (which should never be triggered if a pilot is flying correctly).

For military applications, they reduce the risk to pilots and civilians from military aircraft which fly in ways civilian aircraft would never be allowed to. Military pilots are often ordered to hug the ground when deployed in order to avoid RADAR, but this raises the risk of controlled flight in to terrain. RAs are one tool which can help avoid CFIT when flying irresponsibly close to the ground.

Military aircraft would still be able to fly at higher altitudes without RAs.
> If we measure readiness by having every application ported over to wayland, then it will never come - but it is not a useful metric imo.

We're talking about two different things.

You're talking about whether Wayland devs are ready for other devs to start leveraging their work.

I'm talking about whether any Wayland-based distro is ready for a stable release. Clearly none are if a best-in-class screen recorder just gained the ability in a dev branch to recorder the screen under Wayland.

Ubuntu understands what I'm talking about-- 20.04 is not Wayland-based, and I doubt it took look for them to make that decision.

Whether best-in-class applications run correctly under Wayland is a perfectly reasonable and practical metric for Wayland's current value to users.

I can't speak to Spotify but YouTube Music seems to do a good job with recommendations. If I start by seeding it with a "radio station" built off an artist I enjoy a lot of the follow-up music is enjoyable and helps me to discover new bands. YouTube Music even has a free ad-supported tier, which is nice.

Limit orders are a risk management technique. Your limit order will not fill if you can’t get the price you want. A market order is subject to microstructure fluctuations such as flash crashes.

All things being equal if you don’t care much about execution costs limit orders that cross the market are what you want.

My understanding is that the Google is pressuring it's employees (who are research scientists) to refrain from publishing papers that Google management believes casts a negative light on a Google product. It's not theoretical, researchers are quoted in the article and papers have been altered.

I find it difficult to come up with an analogy from a public institution. What is the product the math department would be pressuring it's members to protect?

Sure, each department in a university believes it's work important. That doesn't seem even remotely similar to me as this issue with Google.

I worked on network/firewall at a rather large bank from 2009-2019 and we used the class labels and "slash 24s" etc. interchangeably when talking. Not that you're incorrect, but that the slang was used and everyone knew what people meant by it.
You keep accusing me of lying without even attempting to explain how I'm wrong. The original group containing two journalists was fired on with the US fully aware only a few weapons were present, and with no hostile actions happening.

I work with TBs of genomics data and I am at this point pretty convinced that some of that data changes on-disk. Every now and then. It's very weird. Recently I heard an interview (on one of the Jupiter broadcasting shows) about how btrfs is exposing errors of underlying hardware using their checksumming features, I had a bit of an Aha! moment. The files in question (BAM files) have a sort of checksumming built in (called cigar strings) and I am getting more and more convinced that the discrepancies I run into are actually bit flips on the hardware. Anybody else have any experience with this? BTRFS would be a good tool to prevent such bitrot, imo...

I have the Plugable TBT3-UDZ dock for my MacBook Pro, and I have to say, I'm pretty happy with it. It supports 2 displays, has a bunch of ports, and has its own power supply (i.e. my power brick can stay in my laptop bag). Construction quality is nice as well. Only "problem" I've had with it is finding the correct adapters, as I'm using it with DVI & VGA displays (it needs "active" adapters for this).

I have finally achieved the "dream" of only having a single cable to connect / disconnect when I want to bring my laptop with me.

I think a better counterexample is to ask how those same planes with the same altimeters would fly (safely?) to Europe or Australia that are rolling out 5G in C-band. I seriously doubt EASA would authorise anything remotely unsafe.

"4% basic, manic-pixie-dream-girl-jazz-flex-boomer bad."

Too much beebop and nothing past 2015.

A lot of people here revelling in their 'not basic' results, the thing is, that's maybe something interesting, but the vast majority of arcane music is straight up bad. Just because it's 'different' doesn't make it good. Most artists who are actually 'pretty good' have some kind of following - they get picked up, at least marginally. Of course there's nothing wrong with 'liking that band with 2K views'. One reason this happens if if they are 'genre' meaning, a newer band, playing into a past sound or genre, people may not pick up. A local band here in Montreal is really good, but they play a kind of specific Cajun country/rock, so their appeal is 'respectable' but 'quaint'.

For $100 mil you can buy a small biotech lab and create your own mRNA vaccine. They are not that complicated compared to classical vaccines, and the testing was basically done already by Pfizer/Moderna.

And for much less, surely there will be ways to "source" doses. It's ridiculous to think that many rich people will pay $100 mil for a dose.
